Conferred Gods: Start with a Phoenix clone

Chapter 473 Zhao Gongming Plants Melons

Just before Zhao Gongming opened his mouth, he swallowed his words back as he thought of something. "What path? I don't care! Even if I die, I don't want your things!"
He laughed heartily and said, "Thank you, Saint, for your consideration. Zhao Gongming is dull and lacks the aptitude to listen to the teachings of the Western teachings. I will take my leave today. I hope the Saint will grant my approval."

Bodhi pointed to a high mountain not far away and said, "This mountain is called Lingtai Fangcun Mountain. I only save those who are destined to be saved here. If you have anything to do, just go there. No need to say more. If you figure it out tomorrow, you can come to me anytime."

Zhao Gongming smiled proudly and bowed to say goodbye.

After returning to Biyou Palace, the first thing he did was to see Tongtian Sect Master.

Tongtian sighed: "Gongming, why bother? The path is more important."

Zhao Gongming bowed solemnly and said: "I only wish to be a disciple of Jiejiao in this life, and I do not wish to join any other sect."

At this time, the most convenient way for him is in the west. The twenty-four great worlds of the heavens and the twenty-four Dinghai Pearls are perfectly matched. As long as they are successfully opened up, he can break the shackles of the Daluo Jinxian and enter the realm of quasi-sage.

The word "Zhu Tian" is obviously a Buddhist word, which means reincarnation.

The three Eastern religions have not delved deeply into this path, far less than Western religions.

Is Western religion good? It is beneficial to Zhao Gongming, but he would rather give up the Tao than abandon the Jie Religion.

The worst that can happen is that you can be a Golden Immortal forever. What’s so great about that?
Tongtian Sect Master sighed softly, feeling very relieved at the same time.

Zhao Gongming was a man of great courage and magnanimity, and as his teacher he could not sit idly by.

"In that case, we don't need the Western teachings. Stand up, take out the Dinghai Pearl and Qiankun Ruler, and let me calculate for you."

Tongtian Patriarch began to use his vast amount of saintly magic power to forcibly deduce.

The world of the twelve zodiac animals opened up by Deng Chanyu is relatively easy, and the number twelve is used very frequently.

Twenty-four is a bit more troublesome. This number is important, but it is not too important either.

There are certainly no Twenty-Four Histories now, let alone Twenty-Four Filial Exemplars. Even if there were, how could Zhao Gongming, who had no father or mother, practice filial piety? Would he have killed Tongtian Jiaozhu with filial piety?
Patriarch Tongtian calculated all the suitable paths and came to the conclusion that the world of the twenty-four heavens was most suitable for the Dinghaizhu and Qiankun ruler. The scriptures of the Western religion were ready-made and could be studied directly. The saints of the Western religion gave guidance and development at the same time, so the speed was the fastest and the pace was the most steady.

But now Zhao Gongming would rather not break through than betray Jiejiao. If he doesn't take the straight road, he will have to take the thorny path.

"Gongming, there is a saying about the twenty-four solar terms in the human world, which may help you prove your truth."

Nowadays, the concept of the 24 solar terms has not been fully proposed, and is only circulated among some farmers. Zhao Gongming has never farmed in his life and has no idea about it.

"Please tell me, teacher."

Tongtian Patriarch recounted the solar terms from the Beginning of Spring to the Great Cold: "Farming is a matter of the utmost importance. If it is done well, merit will be great. The Western religion's twenty-four great worlds of the heavens are merely formalities, and are not as practical as the twenty-four solar terms."

To be able to attain enlightenment, one must naturally prove it, but Zhao Gongming was overwhelmed when he heard what Tongtian Sect Master said.

At the beginning of spring, he would ask the willow spirit to guide people in welcoming spring and making spring pancakes.

During the "Rain Water" season, people would ask the rain god to make it rain, hold sacrificial ceremonies, and pray for a good harvest in the coming year.

During the Qingming Festival, he would open the gates of hell on time to let the ghosts return to the human world and reunite with their families.

During the Beginning of Summer, one must find an earthworm spirit to till the soil and add fertilizer. This must be done by the earthworm spirit; even if it burrows into the ground and tries to turn it around, it won't work. Similarly, during the Great Heat, one must fight the Big Head Demon, and during the Beginning of Winter, one must find the Thunder God.

The matter was so complicated and tedious that he broke out in a sweat. This was too troublesome!

What is the most crucial thing? Deng Chanyu has the demon-summoning banner in her hand, which gives her absolute control over the demon clan. You will do whatever she tells you to do.

How can Zhao Gongming command the farmers of the world?

It is possible to work hard for a year, but in the end, because a certain area did not comply with the requirements of the solar terms, the twenty-four solar terms were not complete. In that case, this year's work would be in vain, and he would have to continue next year. If he failed again next year, he would continue again the year after that.

There are too many variables that can appear! There is a war going on in the world, and you tell them "Guyu" or "Qingzhe"?
This matter is difficult to say, but it is also simple to say. There are too many tricks used by immortals.

Compared to those who have been unable to find a breakthrough for thousands or tens of thousands of years, he has already gained a great advantage.

Old Zhao gritted his teeth and said, "Disciple understands. Disciple will definitely be able to open up a world of twenty-four solar terms."

The trouble is real, and the path is real.

As a Daluo Jinxian, I'll give it my all. If one year doesn't work, I'll try ten years. If ten years don't work, I'll try a hundred years. It's still better than joining that damn Western religion.

Tongtian Patriarch nodded: "Good."

After bidding farewell to his teacher and just walking out of Biyou Palace, Zhao Gongming met Yunxiao. The two of them went to see Qiongxiao and Bixiao together. The brother and sister were reunited again, and they were both quite sad.

Zhao Gongming was very frank and told his three sisters about his rejection of Western religions, and they all agreed with him.

But when Zhao Gongming talked about his plan to go to the human world to farm, learn the solar terms from old farmers, and then promote this matter to the whole world, except for Yunxiao who was able to maintain a polite yet awkward smile, Qiongxiao and Bixiao were stunned.

They had never done any of the work of tilling the soil, sowing seeds, fertilizing, and watering, and they couldn't imagine themselves carrying loads and fertilizing the fields.

Bi Xiao bravely asked, "Brother, do you have any plans?"

Zhao Gongming did have a plan: "I'm going to find a piece of land for you, and spend the first year getting a rough idea of ​​what's going on."

Yunxiao asked, "Brother, what do you want to plant?"

Zhao Gongming admitted that he wanted to grow melons.

Watermelons, cucumbers, and pumpkins were all introduced species. Even with the high productivity of the Shang Dynasty, they couldn't create a new species out of thin air. There were only a few native melons, and Zhao Gongming figured that since he was studying solar terms, he had to find something related. He ultimately chose winter melon over melon, gourd, and winter melon.

Qiong Xiao laughed dryly twice: "As long as it is something I can do, you can give me your orders, brother."

Bixiao also said something similar, that brothers and sisters must be supported unconditionally at this time.

It was impossible for Zhao Gongming to let his charming sister go farming with him, so he refused on the grounds that their cultivation had not yet recovered, and asked Yunxiao to stay with them. However, when Bixiao suggested that the three Xiao mounts, namely Xiao Qingluan, Honghu and Hualingniao, help, he did not refuse, because he really needed help.

Where are these three guys now? Yunxiao calculated with her fingers and found that they were in the North Sea. She prepared to go look for them soon.

Zhao Gongming left Biyou Palace and found his two disciples, Chen Jiugong and Yao Shaosi, who had just recovered from their injuries. Let's go and plant melons with the master!
