The mountain is opening?\" Zhao Xing was originally listless, but at this time, hearing the commotion of the crowd, he cheered up and looked up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To mention the Mountain Opening Law, one must first talk about the Mountain Sealing Law.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>During the Spring Equinox, Zhao Xing had seen Chen Shijie cast the Mountain Sealing Law. Both of these spells required cooperation with magic incantations.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that time, the incantation Chen Shijie chanted was: \"The river wants to return to the four seas without end, the mountain wants to return to nature for a long time, I follow the Great Ancestor's order, please protect this mountain.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"First order the mountain god to protect the five elements, combining to produce all things; second order the earth mother to adjust Yin and Yang, blending to nurture true spirits. Third order the True Lords of the eight directions to protect the path, the road can be passed, trees and plants are not hurt. The mountain can be entered, no hundred beasts are seen, seal the mountain immediately!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhao Xing was very familiar with the Mountain Sealing Law, but the incantation of this version of the Mountain Sealing Law was somewhat different from what he knew; it didn't have the first paragraph.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Actually, whether the first paragraph existed or not made no difference; it was just the truth told to the people, and mentioning that this law was stipulated by the Great Ancestor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The first paragraph meant to tell everyone why the mountain needed to be sealed—that was to follow sustainable development, and one couldn't hunt, pick herbs, or cut down trees in the mountain all year round.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What was truly effective was the second paragraph.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because Yin Gods were invited to guard it, after the mountain was sealed, pedestrians could still pass through the mountain road, but they couldn't hurt a single blade of grass or a tree here. If hunters sneaked in, they wouldn't see any wild beasts at all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was the Mountain Sealing Law.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The Qi-Luck Dynasty version of the Mountain Sealing Law needs the help of Yin Gods, but the revival version doesn't need it, and it is more advanced, and has an extra function of being able to collect evil and filth.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"There is another kind of Mountain Sealing Law, called 'Snow Mountain Order', which is a magic that cuts off the family line, but it shouldn't be able to take effect at this time.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhao Xing recalled the incantation of the Snow Mountain Order he used in his past life:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>First watch brings fog and dew, second watch brings thick frost, third watch brings heavy snow, fourth watch brings frost on top of snow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fifth watch hears the rooster crow, the trees in the mountain ring green and blue.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The dragon retreats its claws, the tiger retreats its skin, the mysterious bird retreats its feathered coat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The ancestral Yin soul in the mountain dissipates, leaving only white snow falling into the human world.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Snow Mountain Order is called a magic that cuts off the family line because it can kill a spiritual mountain. True dragons must retreat their claws and degenerate into snakes, white tigers must retreat their tiger skin, and the mysterious bird of destiny must lose its feathers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If there are Yin souls in the mountain who have become kings and ancestors, they must also fly away and scatter, and the whole mountain will only have white snow left.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Under the Snow Mountain Order, everything is illusory!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This Mountain Sealing Law can be said to be the strongest killing move of the agricultural official profession in the revival version.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhao Xing missed the past. When he came back to his senses, Chen Shijie had already begun to cast magic.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sealing the mountain is more complicated, but opening the mountain is much simpler.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...Five elements and Yin and Yang reverse, magic reveals true spirits, True Lords of the eight directions disperse, mountain god and earth mother return, I respect the Great Ancestor's order, open this mountain immediately!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Shijie held the official seal and chanted once, and a golden light flew from the seal into East Lake Mountain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The other ninth-rank agricultural officials chanted four or five times before golden light appeared.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhao Xing saw this and knew that Old Chen's rank was definitely more than what appeared on the surface.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Either he is hiding his strength, or he has dropped his rank, otherwise the ninth-rank positive and negative wouldn't have such a big gap.\" Zhao Xing thought.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The golden light fell into East Lake Mountain. About a moment later.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>An invisible fluctuation spread from the mountain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhao Xing cast the Bright Eye spell and immediately saw stars emitting from the mountain, and at the same time, there were illusory visions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was a purple strange flower blooming, a big tree bearing vermilion fruits, and a pale golden glazed lamp.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He only captured these three visions, and couldn't see more clearly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Bright Eye is full level, it really has benefits. At least if I run into it, I won't fail to recognize it as a treasure.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After the sacrifice, Li Wenzheng appeared again and announced that the government would send the first batch of people to explore the mountain to open the way for the people and clear threats.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the same time, climbing the mountain was also the content of the assessment for officials of various departments.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Charge!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Climb the mountain to harvest spiritual beauty!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Don't snatch with me!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As soon as the ban was lifted, many people couldn't wait to rush into the mountain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It looked like a bunch of vulgar martial artists.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhao Xing didn't rush, but walked slowly with the Literary Bamboo Box on his back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>East Lake Mountain is very large. To explore it carefully, three days are not enough.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It's not that whoever is fast will get benefits; it also depends on luck.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhao Xing was still somewhat confident about luck.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Zhao Three-A, why don't you charge?\" A familiar colleague ran past and asked curiously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I'm just here to join in the fun, I don't have any hope, you guys can go first.\" Zhao Xing smiled, looking like he wasn't here to fight, just to watch the fun.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His voice wasn't small, and many gazes that were originally focused on him were immediately withdrawn.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I heard he is a genius who has been very popular in the Gucheng Office of Agriculture recently. Just this?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"There are quite a few experts at the eighth or ninth stage of Qi Gathering this time. He is said to be only at the third stage of Qi Gathering. It's normal not to dare to fight.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"He has self-knowledge.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hmph, maybe he's pretending? Look at that Literary Bamboo Box, it's not light. If he's really just here to join in the fun, who would carry such a big thing.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Who cares if he's pretending or not? His strength is there, no threat.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Let's go, climb the mountain quickly.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The voices in the dark were from other counties and this county. Some felt Zhao Xing was pretending and actually wanted to fight for benefits, while others felt Zhao Xing had self-knowledge and was just going through the motions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gradually, the crowd overtook Zhao Xing, and soon he fell to the very end.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Walking and walking, Zhao Xing found that he actually ran into an acquaintance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Young Master Zong, why are you squatting here?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I saw Zong Shichang just walk to a pavilion at the mountain pass and take a break.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Got up too early, forgot to eat, hungry.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zong Shichang also carried a bamboo box, but it was mostly filled with food. He even took out a bowl of hot noodles from it!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Are you here for the assessment or for an autumn outing?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zong Shichang saw Zhao Xing staring, thinking he was hungry too, and very generously took out another bowl: \"Eat some? High-quality beef soup paired with vermicelli made from high-quality origin rice, super delicious.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhao Xing didn't want to eat, but smelling this fragrance, he changed his mind and sat by the pavilion to eat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rich guy, don't eat for nothing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ha~\" After slurping, Zong Shichang asked with satisfaction: \"How is it?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Indeed not bad.\" Zhao Xing nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Want some wine?\" Zong Shichang took out a bottle and pulled out the stopper.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No wine.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Then forget it, it's boring for me to drink alone.\" Zong Shichang crossed his legs. \"Why are you so far behind?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhao Xing wiped his mouth: \"It's useless to be anxious, climbing the mountain doesn't look at who runs fast. What about you, Brother Zong?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zong Shichang laughed: \"Do I look like someone who lacks that bit of spiritual beauty? If my father hadn't forced me to come, I wouldn't want to come.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You are really jumping long in the toilet, going too far.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Is it really good to show off in front of a poor person?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Then Brother Zong, please yourself, I'll go first.\" Zhao Xing carried the bamboo box and intended to leave.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Let's go together.\" Zong Shichang also got up. \"At least there's someone to talk to, otherwise wouldn't it be boring?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I'm not bored alone.\" Zhao Xing declined.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zong Shichang said again: \"Don't be like that. My father has quite a bit of face in Nanyang Prefecture. If we run into experts from other counties, with me here, you'll have more protection.\" \u003C\u002Fp>",1572,"2026-06-17T15:11:26.542Z","2026-06-18T03:30:09.135Z",1,"Gemini 3.1 Flash Lite","c037c3b402a15b1e2cb784c823e56675af680c43c3f8aaa214c1c7be989bf261","dao-lord-of-shennong-chapter-59","dao-lord-of-shennong-chapter-57",666,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fshennong-dao-lord-cover.jpg"]
