Chapter 156 Earth Temple

After the Fifth Ancestor left, Zhao Shi sat quietly in the ancestral hall thinking about what the Fifth Ancestor had said.

In the end, there was no result.

It's not easy to be a patriarch.

Not only do you need to stay in the village, but you also have to lead your people to live a good life.

Not to mention the others, just the first one is difficult to achieve.

Because of the existence of the other world, it is more convenient for Zhao Shi to buy supplies in big cities.

Even silver ingots are not available for purchase in the village.

But the Zhao family has indeed declined, and can even be described as existing in name only. The younger members are all working outside and usually only come back once during the Chinese New Year.

Some even settled down abroad and never came back.

He just wanted to lead his people to wealth, but he had no good ideas.

I have no choice but to put this matter on hold for the time being.

Zhao Shi looked at the hundreds of tablets filling the room, and the mounted paper with names written on the wall. These were the ancestors of the Zhao family. Due to local reasons, those who had not made any special contributions to the family could basically only leave their names on the mounted paper on the wall, and could not have their own tablets.

Zhao Shi looked at the densely packed tablets on the tables and wanted to put all of them into the temple.

I just thought about it and gave up.

He fears!
I’m afraid that evil monsters might appear on Blue Star.

Can the ancestral spirits be summoned at that time?

And once he puts these tablets into the temple, what if the temple can absorb the power of the incense in these tablets? If the ancestral spirits revive in the future, wouldn't he be blocking the path of all the ancestors?

The tablets of ancestors are different.

There are temples for ancestors, and the power of the incense on the tablets is almost negligible compared to the temples. But the tablets of ancestors are different, and the family ancestral hall is the only place where they receive incense.

Once the ancestral spirits are truly revived, the more abundant the incense on the ancestral tablets, the higher the chance of summoning them.

the next day.

After dawn, Zhao Shi changed into sportswear and started jogging along the path beside the village.

Jogging is no longer useful for him now, but it is still okay to use it to exercise the body.

Ok?
When Zhao Shi ran to the village entrance, he was stunned.

I saw a small house about two feet high on the side of the road. There was a piece of red paper on the roof, and some fruits and snacks were offered at the door of the small house.

Land temple?
Yes, it is the land temple.

When he was a child, he remembered that every time he went to school or walked at night, his grandfather always asked him to worship the God of Land.

Looking at the land temple, Zhao Shi's heart moved.

The tablet of the Zhao family’s ancestors cannot be moved, but the God of Land should be fine.

After looking around and making sure that there was no one nearby, he walked forward and opened the fence of the land temple gate.

The furnishings in the land temple are very simple, with a clay platform with a clay statue on it, and in front of the statue is a shrine with the words "Throughout the Land God" written on it.

Zhao Shi secretly put the tablet into his own temple, then took out the statue he had made and placed it behind the clay platform of the statue of the God of Land before leaving.

Zhao Shi was a little excited.

This land temple is said to have existed for hundreds of years. I don’t know if it can bring something different to him.

If it is useful, his safety in the other world will be greatly enhanced.

Arriving at the entrance of the village, Zhao Shi began to stand in a stance.

Now with the supplement of demon flesh, his energy and blood are very abundant, and it is becoming easier and easier for him to stand in the stance for half an hour every day.

He could feel that his energy and blood had completely spread throughout his skin.

Once his qi and blood undergo a qualitative change, that will be the time for him to break through the first level of martial arts.

Leather training realm!
The skin is as tough as cowhide, and the strength is so great that it is difficult to be injured by ordinary swords. In Zhao Shi's view, a warrior, even a warrior in the marrow refining realm from another world, is actually a comprehensive embodiment of strength, speed, and reaction.

The more powerful the warrior, the greater his strength, the faster his speed, and the more responsive his reactions.

But the human body has its limits.

Those with outstanding talents only possess a strength of a few hundred kilograms, and even if they are fast, it is still impossible for them to exceed the range of human beings.

The purpose of practicing martial arts is to break the human body's cage through qi and blood, thereby breaking through the human body's limits.

The breakthrough at each stage of martial arts is a process of breaking the limits and strengthening one's own foundation.

After the fifth stage of blood transfusion, it can be said that human beings have completed their overall transformation, and the essence of life has been directly elevated to a higher level.

Just like an ordinary human body is a wooden barrel, each level of breakthrough of a warrior is the process of strengthening and enlarging the barrel. When the blood transfusion is completed, the human body is equivalent to evolving directly from a wooden barrel into an iron urn.

Half an hour later, Zhao Shi's forehead was covered with ripples of blood, and his originally abundant energy and blood became empty again.

What about breakthrough?
Just a final touch.

If he had made a concerted effort, he could have easily broken through the bottleneck of the first level, but in the end he chose to give up.

Not to mention whether there will be any breakthrough or not, the amount of energy and blood required after the breakthrough is enormous.

In the other world, why can only wealthy families or martial arts schools with a long history give birth to warriors? It is because every breakthrough requires a huge amount of energy and blood to support it.

Without external interference, even the most gifted humans will be dragged down and suffer irreversible damage. Even if such people become warriors, they will never be able to break through to the second level in their lifetime. Moreover, when they reach around 30 years old, their body's qi and blood begin to decline, and they will suffer from all kinds of ailments and problems.

He eventually died young.

It is difficult for poor warriors to break this law without opportunity.

Zhao Shi didn't expect that he could reach the critical point of breakthrough so quickly, so he didn't have any reserves. Once he broke through now, the energy and blood consumed would be enough to drag his body down and leave irreversible damage.

He didn't want to die young, and Zhao Shi was already nearly forty years old. His energy and blood had already begun to decline. Once his foundation was damaged, there would be no possibility of recovery.

When Zhao Shi returned to the ancestral hall, it had become very lively.

The Fifth Ancestor and the leaders of each branch are all here.

"Boy, you're back!" When he saw Zhao, the Fifth Ancestor greeted him.

What about the rest?

He nodded to Zhao Shi with a complicated look.

Zhao Shi!

The top scholar of that year.

On the day when the results were announced, the Fifth Ancestor and several other elders thought about whether or not to pass the position of clan leader to him in the future. After all, Zhao Shi was the most promising person in the Zhao family in nearly a hundred years.

Some people agree, and some people oppose it.

Do you agree?

It's because the world is beginning to change and the family's decline is becoming more and more serious. The Zhao family must respond. If there is no patriarch, it will eventually fall apart.

Therefore, Zhao Shi, the most promising young man in the Zhao family, came into their sight.

Who opposed it? It was because the old patriarch had said before his death that only the person who could inherit the lost spear skills of the Zhao family would be qualified to inherit the position of patriarch.

Zhao Shi obviously did not meet this requirement.

Eventually it got delayed.

Back then, the Fifth Ancestor joined forces with several elders to start working on them one by one. When everyone's work was done, they waited for Zhao Shi to come back and inherit the position of patriarch.

Only in this way can Zhao Shi be kept and allow Zhao Shi to lead the Zhao family to regain its glory.

Unfortunately, they didn't wait for Zhao Shi to come back, and the news spread that Zhao Shi was ill.

Unexpectedly, after twenty years of twists and turns, Zhao Shi not only recovered from his illness, but also brought back the inheritance of spearmanship.
