Huo Qubing sent out his military aura, and the mantras overflowed from the beads one after another, turning into spots of light, imprinted around his body, intertwined and connected, and the light almost covered his whole body.
"It turns out to be a piece of armor."
The correct way to use this bead is with armor.
The light spot incantation overflowing from the bead can be combined with each armor leaf, doubling the protective power.
Huo Qubing stretched out his finger, and countless mantra light spots reunited and fell back into the bead.
After this bead is refined, it will automatically dissolve the incantation inside for protection when encountering danger.
Huo Qubing reached into the box again and took out the second object, which was still a bead.
The two beads are black and white, the second one is slightly smaller, and its color is as dark as the deep sky.
The gift Ji Qiu gave was a pair of beads. The two beads were for Huo Qubing and Liu Qing respectively.
The Mohist family's protective methods are the strongest among the nine major streams. Considering that the beads are made by Juzi himself, the protective power must be very impressive.
And when Huo Qubing sent his spiritual thoughts to the beads and performed sacrifices, he made a new discovery.
The next moment, the White Tiger Soul differentiated between his brows and manifested into a body shape of about a foot. The beads also changed at the same moment. Countless mantras were imprinted on the White Tiger Soul, creating a layer of armor with a flowing halo.
The white tiger wears armor and becomes more majestic.
"It's actually a double armor of body and spirit..."
Armor that can protect the soul is rarely seen in Huo Qubing's identity.
He took back the white tiger and looked at the jade box used to hold beads, which was as big as a palm.
After looking at it for a moment, I realized that there was also a cave inside the jade box, hiding ingenuity.
The inside of this jade box is very shallow and can hold two thumb-sized beads.
But from the outside, the jade box is about five inches high, which means that part of the space on the bottom floor of the jade box is occupied.
Is there a hidden grid?
There are butt lines inside the jade box. Because the fit is very precise, it is difficult to find without paying attention.
Huo Qubing did a little research and sent in the breath to explore. He quickly found the pattern and triggered the jade box's mechanism.
There was a sound of a machine button coming from the box, and there were lines moving horizontally, like a secret door opening, and there was a small jade figure inside, flipping up from the bottom of the box, and at the same time it also caused other changes in the box.
The first jade figurine was pressed below, and then a second jade figurine appeared, three inches high, with flawless white walls.
The two jade figurines, both naked, one male and one female, are beautifully carved. Every location is fully detailed, including expressions, body features, and sources of reproduction.
The small box is the 'house' where the two jade figurines live.
While Huo Qubing was secretly thinking about what these two villains could do, the two jade figurines began to operate in the box.
Standing still, holding the side wall of the jade box, bending at the waist... Sometimes the two are in front and back, sometimes up and down, the buttons are opened and closed, and they fit together tightly, making the two become one.
The two villains quickly completed a set of actions together, then sank into the box and returned to their original state.
Huo Qubing tried again. The two villains who appeared again did not perform a set of moves compared to the last time.
The first set of movements is to stand against the wall, and the second set of movements is to grow lotus on the shoulders...
"It turns out to be the jade figurines of King Chu..." Huo Qubing suddenly realized.
He remembered reading an ancient scroll in Shiqu Pavilion. It recorded that the Mohist family made a set of jade figurines for the leader of the Chu Kingdom during the Warring States Period. They were palace secrets and were well-known. Unexpectedly, they accidentally fell into his hands. in hand.
This thing is a curious thing, a gadget used by the king of Chu and his concubines to increase their fun.
It is believed that Ji Qiu thought that Huo Qubing and the young man and woman from Her Highness the Princess sent them to increase the happiness of the couple. He said in advance that he would give away two trinkets, one of which was the pair of beads, and the second was the jade figurine of the King of Chu.
In terms of production difficulty and sophistication, these two villains are exactly the same as those two beads.
Moreover, there is another mystery in its movements. A line will appear in the body, which is the method of moving Qi in the palace. The combination of yin and yang is similar to the secret book given by the emperor to Huo Qubing.
Emperors all liked this tune... Huo Qubing smiled.
I heard from Bai Nanyu that Ji Qiu was severely beaten by Zonghengdao, and his family members died as a result.
He gave such an expensive and thoughtful gift when they met, maybe he also had the intention of thanking Huo Qubing for destroying Zonghengdao.
"Huo Hou!"
The chariot had stopped for a while, and the pro-military accompanying the chariot issued a warning.
Huo Qubing immediately put away the small box, got out of the car and entered Liangyuan.
…
"Recheck these two pieces of information... pay special attention to the Xiongnu's movements to the east grassland."
Liu Qing had a palace in Liangyuan, the embroidery base camp, where he handled official business. It was quiet and quiet. It was located on the third floor of the main palace and had an excellent view from the window.
The halo of the setting sun shines in from the window, giving Liu Qing's side face a very three-dimensional light and shadow. His white forehead, straight bridge of nose, lips as moist as fresh fruit and delicate chin are all charming and charming.
Outside the hall stood Liu Qing's entourage, and inside the room was Song Ran, whom Ru Bohu had called to serve as her deputy.
"Princess, send more people to explore the east grassland. What clues did you find?"
Song Ran conveyed Liu Qing's order to other embroidered clothes and asked in a casual tone.
Liu Qing said matter-of-factly: "I haven't found any other clues. I heard from my husband last night that although Fuyu and Wuhuan were captured in the Eastern Grassland, they were only defeated. The situation is not stable. Around the Eastern Grassland, there may be more follow-up." question.
At this time, deploy manpower first to take precautions. If the Huns are unwilling to give in and take action in the future, we can deal with it more calmly. "
It turned out to be the champion who said it, so it seemed that he was right...Song Ran agreed.
Liu Qing was reading an ancient scroll, and her red lips would occasionally purse. This was her habitual action when she was focusing on something.
After a while, she put down the ancient scroll and stretched her waist. She felt something strange in a daze. She turned around and saw Huo Qubing standing not far away.
"Husband..."
As night fell, the two of them left Liangyuan in a car and set off home.
Huo Qubing gave the protective beads to Liu Qing, then took out the jade box containing the beads, and asked the two villains to perform a boudoir routine for the princess.
After looking at it, Liu Qing chuckled and said, "Where did you get this, husband? Is this the jade figurine of the King of Chu?"
"So the princess has also seen the introduction of the relevant secret book..." Huo Qubing blinked.
The secret books are all little imperial books of this era.
Liu Qing said calmly: "Before I got married to my husband, the clan took a lot of secret books and said that newlyweds must learn from them."
"Then what have you learned? Demonstrate it to my husband tonight."
The night is deep and the sky is full of stars.
Huo Qubing returned to his residence and had a pleasant conversation with Her Royal Highness. After she went to bed, he went to the study to start his homework and practice.
When he fell into silence, the military formations outside his body spread silently, covering the entire mansion.
And he sank his consciousness into the sea of consciousness, merged with Xuanwu, and entered the ancient well... I don't know how long it took before Huo Qubing woke up from his practice.
The ancient well in my consciousness and the symbols as vast as stars on the well wall were finally able to get close this time and feel it carefully.
Those symbols seem to come from different historical periods, some are extremely ancient, and others are not so strong.
The symbols on the wall of the ancient well are like a brand between heaven and earth... And why is there an ancient well in the Mausoleum of the First Emperor?
Huo Qubing finished his practice, and his mind was filled with thoughts. The moment he opened his eyes, the array patterns outside his body were recovered and sank into his body.
At this moment, the void in front of him suddenly changed abnormally, ripples appeared without warning, and it was like a 'fold' appeared in the space, and then slowly calmed down.
There had never been a similar situation before, so Huo Qubing was a little surprised.
"Did you see it."
Tao Zun's face was mysteriously peeked out of the window, and the corners of his mouth seemed to be slightly shiny: "You can see the fluctuations of the cave sky in the three realms, and you are the first one."
It is not surprising that Tao Zun has a profound spiritual practice and lives in his mansion, so he can sense the changes caused by the Qi emanating from Huo Qubing's practice.
"Remember what I told you before, there are many secrets in this world, and it is not as simple as it seems.
This phenomenon is one of them. "
Taoist Lord stepped in directly from the window and sat opposite: "As your realm continues to improve, you may hear strange sounds coming from the depths of the void, which are different from the kind of ghost-like sounds you hear at the level of your Yin body. of whispers.
Some people say that it is a kind of fairy sound, a voice sent by immortals into the world to guide all living beings to enlightenment. "
"So there is a reason why so many people have been seeking immortality since ancient times. The deeper they practice, the more secrets they perceive in the depths of the void, and the more certain they are that there are immortals in the world?" Huo Qubing said with narrowed eyes.
Tao Zun raised his head and said: "Among the practitioners above the fifth realm of heaven and human, there has been a rumor that the disappearance of my ancestors of Taoism, Lao Tzu and others, is the discovery of the secrets in the depths of the void, beyond our world, stepping into the world. On the road to immortality.
The First Emperor's pursuit of immortality may be related to this.
According to Taoist records, the cause of the change in the void seems to be related to the birth and destruction of the cave sky. "
He continued: "Usually, a military strategist needs to reach the fifth realm and open a small military mansion to discover the changes in the void.
I tell you this so that you will not be affected by it, and there is no need to think deeply. It is best to keep the leaves falling on the lake and leave no traces of your life, otherwise it will affect your practice. "
"After you open the small military mansion, you need to capture these void fluctuations and integrate them into the expanded military mansion."
Tao Zun seemed to have something urgent to do, so he left after saying that. Huo Qubing vaguely smelled the fragrance of chicken legs hidden in his sleeves...
"When you open the Xiaobing Mansion, you will find the changes in the void... It is also called the secret of the cave and is related to many ancient people's quest for immortality." Huo Qubing muttered.
In the morning, he went to attend the court meeting.
After going to court, he went to the Guards Hall to handle various military affairs, and in the afternoon he came to the military mansion again.
At this time, various things had been moved into the military mansion one after another to form a military industrial camp.
The thing was a utensil that Huo Qubing wanted from Xiuyi's subordinate, Yuanwuchangying.
In the follow-up, the Mo family will need to dig a casting and smelting well here to collect earth fire and lay out formations. This is a very large project, and it will take at least ten months of preparation in the early stage before it can begin to take shape.

The residence of foreign envoys.
Roshna's attendant, Bo Hatake, placed a simple book in front of her.
In the main hall of the diplomatic embassy where they lived, the envoys from Qiuci and Gumo also sat.
Both of their eyes also fell on the scroll.
Roshna picked up the brief book and read it for a moment. Finally, she sighed and handed the brief letter to the envoys Qiuci and Gumo.
After reading it, the two looked at each other with surprised and solemn expressions.
"Is the content on this slip credible?"
"Observations during this period, plus other news channels, can confirm that the contents of the brief book are true."
"If the Han Dynasty mobilizes with all their strength, they will indeed have millions of troops, which is more than the population of many countries in our western region." The envoy from Kucha said.
The brief book was sent by the emperor himself because Roshna wanted to know more about the national power of the Han Dynasty.
The book summarizes the victories and defeats of the Han army in recent years.
Including the current size of the Han army, the details of the war, and some records on various aspects of the Han Dynasty.
"One hundred thousand forbidden troops and four hundred thousand frontier troops. Even if we exclude the part that cannot be mobilized, the number of combat elites of the frontier troops is still over one hundred thousand. Adding in the local garrison, the number of one million soldiers is not an empty lie.
The fact that the Han Dynasty can provide such military strength shows the prosperity of the country. "
The envoy from Gumo read the slip and exclaimed: "This slip also contains a summary of the Han army's victory, defeat, capture, consumption and other related battles in last year's campaign.
The Han army was led by generals Wei Qing and Huo Qubing.
The champion started his campaign against the Xiongnu in the spring of last year. Within a year, he conquered the south and the north, and almost had battles with the barbarians. The rich captures are enviable, but it is a pity that we do not have such good generals in the Western Region. "
"If what is said on the slip is true, then the actual strength of the Han has surpassed that of the Xiongnu."
"The strength of the Xiongnu and Han cannot be judged solely by the number of troops. The Xiongnu has about 400,000 elites, but they are all cavalry, more flexible and more aggressive." Envoy Gumo said.
"For us, there is no choice left."
Roshna said softly: "I contacted the leader of the country through Shata. The leader said that as long as autonomy can be maintained, other conditions of the Han people will be accepted."
