"The green dragon represents A and B in the east; the white tiger represents Geng and Xin gold in the west; the red bird represents Bing and Ding fire in the south; the Xuanwu represents the Rengui water in the north...
The fluid becomes a dragon when it is cut, and a bird when it condenses into qi. Its qi rises and becomes the sky, and its essence descends and becomes the earth. Therefore, it is the foundation of the great elixir, just like a person with lofty ideals burning an alchemy cauldron. Those who know these four phenomena will be worshiped by all heavenly beings in the ten directions. You can cast the "Four Divine Weapon Pills", this is it. "
"This Classic of Yinfu Taishang Wubing: The Wonderful Sutra of the Divine Mantra in the Aperture"
The incantations that fell off the Lingye Soldier Talisman are still the content of the Seven Yin Talismans in this classic, but they are a sub-chapter for the Four Elephants Soldier Talisman.
This law has never been manifested in the world before.
Specifically aimed at military strategists, the method is based on the four-image military talisman and itself is the furnace. It means that the body carries the four-image military talisman, integrates it into one, and uses it for oneself, so that it can do anything.
The Four Gods Weapon Pill in the article is a metaphor, which refers to the method of reaching immortals and chasing saints with the help of the four-image weapon talisman.
The prerequisite for the emergence of this method is to create the Four Elephants Soldier Talisman first, and the starting point is ridiculously high.
Strictly speaking, Huo Qubing is not yet qualified to practice and can only practice part of it.
Military training was born from the day of war and can be traced back to ancient times.
But it was not until the time of the First Emperor that he gathered various schools, re-edited them, and formulated the three religions and nine levels to summarize the practice system.
Huo Qubing was very suspicious of this book. Apart from the founder, he might be the second person to see it since ancient times.
Legend has it that in a longer time ago, the breath of heaven and earth was thick, and spiritual practice could greatly extend life.
However, in recent times, the world has changed, and although spiritual practice can extend life to an appropriate extent, there are no longer legends about pursuing immortality.
In particular, officials from various ministries in the imperial court were entangled with the destiny of the country, and they lost the possibility of practicing cultivation to increase their longevity.
The emperor is no exception.
But the article on the Supreme Five Soldiers in front of me seems to be able to break some constraints and established barriers by relying on the four elephants and military symbols as the foundation, connecting the four directions of the world, and focusing on oneself.
Huo Qubing carefully looked at the simple book in his mind, and then tried to practice according to the content.
When the spell began to operate, the four-symbol talisman in his consciousness, the Black Tortoise, the White Tiger, and the Divine Bird Suzaku, were actually broken down into countless symbols and incantations, and integrated into his body's limbs, hundreds of meridians, internal organs, and secret orifices.
At this moment, Huo Qubing's practice was blessed by the military talisman, which echoed with their corresponding constellations such as the seven constellations in the north and the seven constellations in the south.
The stars in the sky seemed to be pushed down by a force.
Huo Qubing discovered that there was a new secret hole in his body that had never been developed before, which was glowing and lighting up, corresponding to the corresponding stars such as Suzaku and White Tiger.
This kind of practice can open up secret orifices in the body that have never been opened before, which is extremely miraculous.
Xuanwu has both offensive and defensive capabilities, and is mainly used to reduce breath and increase longevity.
The white tiger leads the army in killing and fighting, and his sharpness is unparalleled.
Suzaku Nirvana, immortality.
When the new secret orifice lit up in Huo Qubing's body, the energy flowed around him, and the phantoms of the white tiger, Xuanwu, and Suzaku flew out from the center of his eyebrows one after another, circling and flying, mysterious and mysterious.
There are seven yin talismans in this book, and so far five talismans have been opened for it.
There are two military talismans left, namely the mighty method of subduing the bear and the Shengshen method of five dragons.
Near dawn, after Huo Qubing finished his practice, he felt that his connection with heaven and earth seemed to have deepened.
"Now that I have commanded the troops, I can sweep away all enemies. I can continue to practice and gain all kinds of magical powers. I don't know where to find an opponent worthy of a fight?"
Huo Qubing entertained himself, feeling somewhat invincible and lonely.
The Xiongnu's lettuce is a very strong opponent.
The last time they had a brief confrontation, Yu Dudu probably had another purpose and didn't try his best.
In addition, I wonder what changes have taken place in this world, and are there any stronger opponents?
After breakfast, Huo Qubing planned to leave the house.
When he returned from the expedition, he did not have to go to court, but he had to go to the Forbidden Army to handle military affairs.
Huo Qubing came to the backyard and was about to go out on horseback. Then he noticed something strange about Jin An. The slender horse looked at the little red horse with a shocked expression on its face.
The little red horse was paralyzed in the stable, looking at Jinan with eyes... full of fear.
Is this Jinan using too much force?
It's understandable that young guys don't know moderation.
Huo Qubing laughed dumbly and asked someone to prepare the car. There will be no riding today.
In the morning, he came to the Forbidden Army Hall to handle official duties, and summoned the Mo family to ask: "What's the progress of the several types of ordnance you have been asked to study?"
The one who came was Ji Qiu, the leader of the Mohist family.
"Huo Hou previously sent people to explore for minerals in several counties in the northeast. The exploration has now been clear. There are indeed large mines. The reserves have not yet been determined, but I think they will be enough to last a country for several years without exhaustion."
Most of the metal mines in later generations were found in the Northeast.
Huo Qubing was not surprised by this news.
Ji Qiu then took out several items from the ink box he carried with him.
The first is a barrel made of bronze, with a thick forearm and six or seven inches in length, engraved with complex incantations.
Ji Qiu opened the machine button, but it was a hook lock.
It can be ejected, with a chain inside and a claw hook at the front.
This is an artifact created by Huo Qubing for his "special forces" to cooperate with them in fighting behind enemy lines and for climbing and infiltrating.
Huo Qubing took it and played with it for a while. He was quite satisfied and said again:
"The combat knives currently used in the army still need to further improve their toughness. The Forbidden Army must carry at least three combat knives before each war to prevent them from colliding with heavy weapons and breaking during combat. Seize the time and strive to improve them as soon as possible."
Ji Qiu nodded repeatedly and wrote down Huo Qubing's requests one by one.
After contacting him for a period of time, he found that the big man Lang Zhongling often had some special ideas, so he ordered them to try to develop them.
Some work, some don't.
For example, repeating crossbow.
The crossbow is one of the most important weapons of the Han army.
The principle and firing process of a repeating crossbow is to first push the lever above the repeating crossbow forward, and the arrow chamber and the arrow trough integrated with it will move forward. The rear edge of the arrow trough will rise upward and automatically hook the crossbow string.
The arrows in the arrow silo will fall into the arrow trough under the action of gravity.
A new cycle begins until all the crossbow arrows in the arrow bin are fired.
This original repeating crossbow has been around since the Warring States Period. The Zhuge repeating crossbow of later generations is just more convenient and efficient.
The current repeating crossbow is not very practical.
A slight bump or collision during a rapid march will cause the arrow to get stuck.
Huo Qubing handed over the order to modify the Lian Nu for some time. Ji Qiu and other Mo family members, including Dahan's Mo family Gongzao, had not yet found a good and feasible method.
In addition, Huo Qubing found an ancient scroll from Liuru's corpse, which was of great origin and was the fundamental sutra of the Buddha's existence.
Many Buddhist practices are based on it.
Huo Qubing didn't understand Sanskrit, but he could understand part of the meaning with his spiritual induction.
The new task he assigned to Ji Qiu was to use techniques derived from Buddhist scriptures, and asked him to try to make weapons specifically aimed at these Buddhists.
In the afternoon, Huo Qubing left the Forbidden Army Hall, and with Dao Zun and his troops, they left the city and came to Lishan again.
"Going to Emperor Qin's Mausoleum again?"
Dao Zun's face turned slightly pale. The experience of entering the imperial mausoleum last time left him with lingering fears.
However, this time Huo Qubing did not enter the underground of Lishan Mountain, but looked deep into the Qinling Mountains.
"When I came to annihilate Zonghengdao's secret palace in Lishan Mountain, I had a brief encounter with Zi. Afterwards, the King of Huainan fled to the west, and the direction where Zi disappeared was deep in the Qinling Mountains."
Dao Zun was a little surprised: "You won't launch a search in the Qinling Mountains just because he disappeared deep in the Qinling Mountains, will you?"
Huo Qubing smiled: "Why not?"
Although the Qinling Mountains are large, they have an end. Relying on the power of a country and an inexhaustible supply of manpower, Ru Bohu and Huo Qubing joined forces and indeed mobilized a large number of manpower to search the Qinling Mountains.
Including several trainings by the Forbidden Army, the erection of plank roads, and field exercises, also with the Qinling Mountains as the target, and investigation on the way.
After such a long time, something has been discovered.
Huo Qubing and Ru Bohu wanted to wait in secret.
It's a pity that the rabbit didn't come. He was cunning and cautious. He must have sensed the crisis and didn't take the bait.
"Let's go take a look."
Huo Qubing walked forward with blessing, and his figure suddenly disappeared.
Tao Zun also chased after him.
The soldiers stayed outside the mountain and waited.
The two of them traveled quickly, and after a quarter of an hour, they were deep into the Qinling Mountains.
But there was mist, cliffs and lush trees.
The majestic peaks undulate deep in the Qinling Mountains, and the weather is amazing.
"Have you noticed, Champion, that since the last time I entered the imperial mausoleum and the Ancestral Dragon appeared, the energy of my divine land veins has continued to rise.
The five meridians of the Taoist sect are connected with the same qi. Several other sects also sent me some news. In several counties in the south, there are also places where there are strange lights at night and ancient qi. In some sects, the remaining spiritual plants from ancient times are growing better than before. "
While the two were talking, they came to the foot of a high cliff.
The cliff above rises into the clouds, which is extremely spectacular.
Seeing Huo Qubing, a big rock under the cliff moved, and the disguised spell disappeared. Cao Qiao, Da Yin Yang's family Jiang Yan, the bronze figurine imperial guard and others all came out from below.
Jiang Yan complained when he came out and said:
"The idea that Marquis Yeqin and Ru Bohu came up with is that even if Pingzi's practice shows up, ordinary soldiers can't stop him, so we have to take turns guarding him here day and night.
It’s been almost a month. You two never come here in person, citing your busy schedules as an excuse. This is really unreasonable.
I won't do anything about this anymore. "
After saying this, he pointed at the Taoist Master and said, "Let him continue to squat and guard."
Disaster fell from the sky, Tao Zun said in shock: "What does it have to do with me?"
Huo Qubing smiled: "I haven't been here for so long, so I guess I won't come again. Let's go up and have a look. We don't have to keep guard any longer."
Soar up the cliff.
Soon they discovered a wooden temple built on the cliff.
Its location is steep and secluded, surrounded by clouds and mist, overlooking the mountains.
There is such a place in the deep mountains of Qinling Mountains. It is the hiding place where Zi originally evacuated from the secret cave of Lishan Mountain and entered the Qinling Mausoleum.
Cao Qiao waved his hand, and the people with embroidered clothes went in first to clear out any possible mechanisms in the palace.
Huo Qubing and others then entered.
There are two palaces inside and outside.
In the inner quiet room, there is a low mat and couch.
There are several bamboo plaques hanging on the wall on one side of the low seat, with the names of Yu Chu, Princess Pingyang and others written on them.
These were all chess pieces that had been controlled by Zi, or that his subordinates considered useful, and most of them were dead.
After Tao Zun came in, he felt something. He stretched out his hand and a pattern appeared on the ground, revealing a hidden grid.
There are two Taoist slips, with dark and yellow light flowing around them, and they fall into the hands of the Taoist Master.
Zi obviously took some of the Dao slips with him, and placed the other parts in different secret places, sealed with array patterns to prevent them from being found by Taoist disciples.
"The Taoist slips were left by the Taoist ancestors. They are connected by the Taoist power and blended into one body. Why can I take them apart?" Jiang Yan asked.
Tao Zun responded: "The Taoist slips were temporarily written by the second ancestor Guan Yinzi. He did not carry so many slips with him at that time. Some of them were scattered. Later generations connected them together and became familiar with our Taoism. The practice can be broken down."
Huo Qubing leaned over and took out the secret compartment of the Taoist slips from the Taoist priest, and then took out a bronze slip.
Looking through it briefly, it says: go to nine and advance to one, first five to avoid three, increase one to draw two and other similar writings. At first glance, it looks like a chess game record.
Huo Qubing thought about it and felt that Zi was deducing something. It was obviously quite precious to be able to put it together with the Dao Jian.
Everyone looked carefully and found nothing else.
It was already evening when we returned to Chang'an.
In the afternoon of the next day, a carriage drove out of the Champion House.
Huo Qubing left Chang'an with only a dozen of his followers, including Her Royal Highness the Princess, to meet his biological father and half-brother, the famous Huo Guang.
On the way, the marching plan was slightly urged, and we walked all afternoon. In the evening, we arrived at Pingyang County, northeast of Chang'an.
Huo Qubing's trip was for a private visit. He did not notify the Pingyang County Lieutenant and planned to enter the city on his own.
