Mythical big man, champion soldier saint

Chapter 231 Champion A, an eye-opener 【Tickets】

Ji Qiu agreed: "This is not an ordinary flower."

The flowers in his hand are yellow and green, the leaves are oval, and they are as green as emeralds.

The middle position is surrounded by a small jade-like flower, which seems to be unopened. The flowers and leaves are layered on top of each other. The bottom layer is the largest, and gradually shrinks upwards. The whole is tower-shaped, and the bottom layer is about a foot in diameter.

Huo Qubing noticed that the leaves of this flower had golden star-like hexagonal or pentagonal patterns, which were delicate and beautiful.

"This flower is called Emperor Star Golden Lotus, and it is designated as one of the "Five Trees and Six Flowers" by my Mohists. It is also called Concentric Lotus."

After Ji Qiu finished speaking, he waved, and a young man in brown Hanfu ran over quickly not far away.

"Meet the champion."

The young man first performed the salute respectfully, then bared his teeth and smiled, showing eight white teeth, his smile was very standard.

"This is my biggest gain from being imprisoned at the Zonghengdao Mountain Gate, disciple Qiao Yi."

Ji Qiu handed one of the potted flowers to his apprentice.

Qiao Yi ran away quickly with the flowerpot in his hands, until he was tens of feet away.

Because of the mist that filled the secret territory of the Military Mansion, his figure was quite blurry tens of feet away.

However, Huo Qubing could still see Qiao Yi in a little distance, imprinted with his divine sense, writing on the leaves of the Emperor Star Lotus with his fingers.

On the leaves of another pot of Emperor Star Lotus held by Ji Qiu, there was a faint light flowing, and the handwriting appeared: "Master."

Can this flower and leaf convey a message?
"How did you do it?"

Ji Qiu proudly pulled off the leaf on which the handwriting appeared, and handed it to Huo Qubing to see.

On the back of the leaves, if you look closely, there is a pattern texture that seems to grow naturally.

"My third-generation patriarch of the Mohist family, who was also a farmer, discovered that the leaves of this kind of concentric lotus grow naturally like patterns, and as long as a little improvement is made, the leaves can become a tool for transmitting messages.

Of course, the premise is that two people from my Mo family who practice the Artifact Attachment Technique need to pass it on to each other, so that it can be done.

Until you find a more convenient method of communication, you can temporarily use the concentric lotus leaf communication. "

"What is the communication distance?"

"I don't know how far the upper limit is, but it's no problem if it's thousands of miles away."

"Huo Hou come with me."

In high spirits, Ji Qiu left the secret realm on the second floor of the Military Mansion, and walked out of the Military Mansion after reaching the first floor.

The afternoon sun shines through the shade of the trees, forming spots like golden sand on the ground.

Ji Qiu randomly plucked two leaves from an old tree beside the official road outside the Military Mansion, handed one to Huo Qubing, and took the other by himself, repeating the process just now.

The leaf on Huo Qubing's hand also changed, but the handwriting was very blurry, and it was impossible to make out what it was.

"Not only the concentric lotus, but also the stems and leaves of most trees have an inexplicable and wonderful connection between the textures.

Even different plants and trees, as long as they grow in the same area and have some kind of connection in the underground root system, people who have practiced the art of object attachment in my Mohism can send messages, but the content conveyed by the lotus is far less clear.

Furthermore, Huohou, you haven't practiced the art of object attachment, so you can't use it as a carrier to receive and present specific content. "

Is the bamboo slip communication in Zonghengdao also a similar method?
"This method was improved on the basis of my Mohist sages when I was trapped in the Zonghengdao Mountain Gate. The purpose is to transmit information to the outside world. Unfortunately, I have not been able to research a method that can be transmitted without the need for artifact attachment. .”

"How long can the stems and leaves of the concentric lotus be preserved after being picked?"

"The concentric lotus has been cultivated in a targeted manner, and a small amount of coniferous wood chips and copper chips are added to the soil. The leaves grown are extremely tough and can be preserved for at least three or four years without damage."

Ji Qiu said: "Zonghengdao's method of communication is also limited to the use of high-level people, and it does not master the relatively cheap method of Tongxinlian."

"This method of communication must rely on the artifact attachment technique practiced by the Mohists?"

"Yes, without the cooperation of the attachment technique, the message conveyed would be unclear and error-prone."

It's not too troublesome to bring a Mohist disciple in the team as a messenger... Huo Qubing asked:
"What are the restrictions on the cultivation of the attachment technique? How many people in your Mo family have mastered it?"

"I have more than 120 ink workers under my command, and there are about forty people who have mastered the art of attaching objects."

Ji Qiu said: "The practice of Artifact Attachment is quite difficult, and it also requires innate talent. It needs to be practiced by people with strong telepathy, that is, people with high comprehension.

This is also the reason why this communication method is not conducive to popularization. Another limitation is the output of concentric lotus.

My young apprentice, Qiao Yi, was able to learn the art of object attachment and send messages in four days. He is one of the fastest people in my Mo family to practice this art, and he is very talented. "

Huo Qubing pondered for a moment: "You tell me the magic formula of the attachment technique."

Ji Qiu immediately said a Mohist law: "If you have to attack, you can't advance. Keep your mind and body in emptiness, and use the soul as a seal... This law requires the cooperation of my Mohist mentality. It is useless for others to listen to the law alone."

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw Huo Qubing writing on the concentric lotus leaf that he handed over to him before, and the other leaf in his hand had words emerge: "Ji Qiu."

"Ugh?"

Ji Qiu opened his mouth slightly: "Has Huo Hou learned my Mohism?"

"No."

"But it's not too difficult, and maybe some improvements can be made to promote it more widely among scouts."

When the two returned to the Military Mansion together, Ji Qiu still hadn't slowed down, looking at the back of Huo Qubing's head obliquely from behind, feeling the urge to study its structure.

"Although there is this kind of concentric lotus transmission, the research on the jade knife cannot be stopped, and there may be some secrets of the Zonghengdao."

Huo Qubing took out the communication bamboo slips also seized from Huainan King:

"Let's take a look, too, and find out why they can rely on this kind of short book to write messages to each other."

Ji Qiu repeatedly agreed.

He led Huo Qubing back to the second floor of the Military Mansion, and went to another location to check the preparation progress of other artifacts.

The Mohists built seven or eight wooden buildings in the soldier talisman, each with a different division of labor.

Ji Qiu took Huo Qubing to another wooden building.

There is a pair of armor hanging here, and there are leather scrolls, bamboo slips and other things on the short table next to it, outlining the dismantling pattern of the armor.

This wooden building was built by more than [-] Mohist craftsmen, both men and women, who devoted themselves to researching ways to improve the armor's protective ability.

The defense array of the Mohists is their best method, as large as a city, as small as a finger in the hand, can be used to make armor.

However, the preparation of Bingjia, from the Shang and Zhou Dynasties, through the Spring and Autumn and Warring States, and then to the Qin and Han Dynasties, has changed from generation to generation. Before that, Mohist masters participated in the design and production, and it has reached a bottleneck period. It is not easy to continue to optimize.

"I want to see Huohou's armor." Ji Qiu asked.

What Huo Qubing wore was the highest-grade general armor of the Han army. The prismatic armor leaves, the wrists, elbows and other positions are small and fine armor leaves, which will not delay the flexibility of movement and fighting at all. Wen, almost no protection dead angle.

But what Ji Qiu wants to see is not the armor that can be seen on the surface.

It's a soldier's practice, and the combination of the internal urge and the armor worn on the body forms the Heavenly Human Realm Bingjia.

Huo Qubing immediately mobilized the strength in his body.

His formation is unique, the combination of air mechanism and spirit talisman, slowly emerging like a formation constructed by the veins of the human body.

With the circulation of Qi in the body, the armor outside the body also emits bursts of halos, which are sensitive to the inside and outside, forming extremely precise lines, intertwined on and off on the worn armor.

On the position of Huo Qubing's chest, the head of a soldier symbol white tiger emerged first, with murderous intent radiating out of nowhere.

On the shoulder blades and the armor on the back, there are vaguely tortoise shell patterns, and the protection is thick.

On the elbows, wrists, and the fine nail leaves on the arms, there are coiled lines like snake scales, and the lines on the underarms implicitly form the wings of a flying snake, which has the effect of lightening the body and increasing the speed of movement.

The whole armor matches with the Four Great Armor Talismans, the twilight is flowing, and countless mantra civilizations are destroyed, which is gorgeous and dazzling.

Ji Qiuzai carefully looked at the texture on the armor, his eyes were almost obsessed, similar to the state of a hardcore bachelor for 40 years when he saw a beautiful woman.

"Huohou's military practice is really exquisite, and it cooperates with the outer armor, just like a craftsman made by heavenly craftsmen."

The surrounding ink workers who studied armor also came to watch closely, amazed.

"Have you ever tried Huohou's armor, what level of protection has it achieved?" Ji Qiu asked.

Huo Qubing: "After the Three Realms of Heaven and Man, I haven't met an opponent who needs to use all my armor, and I haven't tried the protection level."

At this time, the armor on his body gradually disappeared, and Ji Qiu showed an expression that was still unfinished.

"You should step up your research and try to find something that can be used before the next war with the Huns."

Huo Qubing came out from the secret realm on the second floor of the Military Mansion.

The first floor of the military mansion has become a training ground for the forbidden army, and there are not a few soldiers in training.

Clang!

The sound of swords and soldiers clashing one after another, except for the confrontation with the Wei Wu soldiers who evolved from the army formation.On the side of the military mansion, there is also a huge cyan boulder that is more than ten feet high and looks like a hill.

The protective pattern was also engraved on the boulder, which was as thick as a shield.

There are quite a few people practicing swords around the boulder.

Use the most stupid method, to practice the stability of chopping with thousands of times of cutting.

In the military, many training programs are aimed not only at exercising strength and technique, but more at exercising willpower.

Concentrated will, not afraid of the enemy, not arrogant in the weak, immovable as iron, is the most trustworthy and invincible foundation of a team.

The requirement for these troops is that when practicing basic movements, they are forbidden to practice in the body, so what they exercise is the most fundamental physical strength.

Every time the knife is drawn, it will be bounced back by the protection formed by the incantation engraved on the boulder, which is difficult to shake.

However, it is the basic requirement for each person to perform at least [-] times of knife every day.

Seemingly boring training is a life-saving means of defeating the enemy on the battlefield.

And there is a crack in the middle of the boulder, which divides the whole boulder into two from the middle.

That was the armor-piercing saber technique that Huo Qubing had recently come to the Military Mansion to demonstrate in person, which was a miracle.

The existence of the knife mark, like a clearly visible target, stimulated these troops to be more motivated to practice hacking and piercing armor by themselves.

Huo Qubing was about to leave when he saw Li Guang walking into the Military Mansion from the outside, striding forward.

Wei Qing was stationed at the border, so Li Guang was transferred back to Chang'an for a rest.

"Huo Hou!"

Li Guang also heard that the Forbidden Army has developed a new military training ground, so come and have a look.

He saw the sword glow on the boulder splitting it in two, stared at it for a moment and said: "This is left by Huohou, what a magnificent sword intent!"

"Well, I want to further improve the archery skills of the Forbidden Army, and let General Li be the chief archery instructor of the Forbidden Army, how about it?" Huo Qubing said.

Regarding cultivation, everyone has their own secret skills that are not passed on to the outside world, and so does Li Guang.

His archery skills are very powerful, but what is passed on to his followers is only a corner of his fingers.

"Huo Hou's archery is also the best in the whole army, why didn't he teach it?" Li Guang asked back.

"General Li is known as a flying general, but I am not as good as you when it comes to shooting arrows." Huo Qubing said humbly.

Li Guang felt relieved, and said without hesitation: "Since Lang Zhongling sincerely invites you, I can't refuse.

In this way, when I was in Chang'an, I took some time every day to teach archery at the Military Mansion, but I don't guarantee whether I can learn it. "

"General Li taught it patiently, and the soldiers practiced hard, so they will naturally be able to master it."

Huo Qubing thought about enclosing Li Guang first, slowly picking out the arrow tricks in his hands, and practicing them for the imperial army.

When he came out of the Military Mansion and rode back to the Hou Mansion, it was dark.

The sky was full of stars and moon, at the gate of the Hou Mansion, there were as many as twenty or thirty chariots waiting in line.

Seeing Huo Qubing coming back, people in the car got down one after another: "Huo Hou!"

Most of the people who came were envoys from various tribes who had recently arrived in Chang'an. In addition, Zhang Cigong, who had returned to Chang'an with Li Guang, was also there.
