On his way to work the next day, Shen Hao went to Qianhusuo's library and read the introduction to "Soul Shadow".
Just as the three guards sent by the commander's office said before, Soul Shadow is indeed an extremely advanced technique. Not only is the threshold for practice extremely high, but the difficulty of practice can also be prohibitive.
According to what is said in the book, the threshold for practicing soul shadow is to first enter the Yuan Dan realm. You must have "Yuan Dan" to control the physical body and roam the soul. This is the foundation of this art. Then the soul strength also needs to reach a certain threshold of the realm. Simply put, the soul talent must be high, otherwise it will not be possible to practice.
Finally, there is understanding. It is impossible for a person with average understanding to become a soul shadow. In other words, everyone who practices a soul shadow is a person with a high level of understanding.
However, the specific method of practice is not available in the library of Senhushu, and there is no relevant description. It only mentions one sentence: So far, only few people know the details.
In addition, the book also mentions some disadvantages or weaknesses about Soul Shadow. That's because the soul shadow needs to pull its own soul as a bridge and introduction to the connection. Once the soul shadow is annihilated, the souls in it cannot return and will dissipate, which is definitely a serious injury to the main body. If you are lucky, it will take a long time to recover slowly. If you are unlucky, you will permanently lose your soul and your cultivation will plummet, or even directly collapse the foundation.
Shen Hao was greatly relieved when he saw this. He is not afraid of life and death with people face to face, but he is afraid of being remembered secretly. Now that the souls of Na and the woman in black gauze have been destroyed, if the book is correct, the other party must be seriously injured at this time, and there will definitely be no way to trouble him within a few months. There is still time to prepare.
Being able to practice soul shadow, the black gauze woman's body cultivation level is at least the Yuan Dan realm. If it were anyone else, a few months would not make the situation change, but for Shen Hao, that might not be the case.
In a few months, Shen Hao realized that if he seizes the time to practice in a sprint, it would be enough for him to break through the bottleneck of the Yuan Dan realm. But what he was worried about was that progressing in practice too quickly would cause trouble.
After repeated weighing, life and death safety is the most important, life-saving is the first priority, and other constraints are to be found separately.
When he came out of the library, Shen Hao had already thought of a countermeasure. He would try his best to break through in the second half of the year and try to see if he could touch the threshold of the Yuan Dan realm. Therefore, he needs to hand over the matters at hand as much as possible. He only needs to coordinate and grasp the direction. Unless there are very special circumstances, he will not handle the specific investigation personally. He will use the free time for practice. superior.
As soon as he returned to the public house and sat down, the concierge Lao Liu came in and reported that Wang Jian wanted to see him.
Wang Jian and Wang Yiming are now well-known celebrities in Qianhu, and they are two confidants of Shen Hao, the chief officer of the Black Flag Camp. Wang Jian is better because he is in charge of the Blackwater Project. Although others know that he is Shen Hao's confidant, no one knows his specific abilities. However, Wang Yiming is different. He has participated in several major operations of the Black Flag Camp. , he was always present when the house was confiscated, and there were too many people trying to make friends, which made Wang Yiming a little annoyed and frightened at the same time.
"Sit down, what's the matter?"
Wang Jian declined the offer of tea from the concierge Liu. He got up to get the tea himself and refilled the tea cup on Shen Hao's table before finding a chair and sitting down.
"My lord, two pieces of news."
Wang Jian never went to the Three Treasures Hall for anything. The news had not just arrived, but had arrived two days ago, but it was not an urgent matter, so he did not disturb Shen Hao's Xiu Mu and waited until today.
"The Jinghong Carriage and Horse Company in the south has been integrated by Liu Hengyi. From the various supply points, docks, town warehouses along the road to the carriages and horses, manpower, shops and various cargo channels on the road, everything has been basically smoothed out. . Our manpower has also joined the fleet and is currently active on the front lines from Haixia to Tanshi.
Sir, Liu Hengyi does have a connection, he should have followed the path of Zuo Yuliang's adjutant. As soon as he took over, 30% of the freight from Haixia to Tanshi was in his hands. "
"Thirty percent? That much?" Shen Hao paused while holding the tea. He was quite surprised to hear the news from Wang Jian.
"Yes, sir, according to the news that Liu Hengyi personally conveyed, he has now signed a contract with the general manager of the southern military road, and 30% of the transportation capacity of all materials except Panling Stone and finished weapons will be provided by Hengshun Carriage and Horses. But it’s only limited to the line from Haixia to Tanshi.”
"What about Xiaochuan and Zhuohuo Pass? I'm afraid it won't be easy to turn over the transportation capacity of the border army alone, right? And if there is a war, how can the supply camp keep such a large transportation capacity within the territory?"
Ever since the military front started in the south, Shen Hao had always kept a military book in his room. He would read it whenever he had time. In addition, he had a general understanding of military affairs when chatting with Zhang Qian and Gan Lin. concept, so he can still understand some basic military strategies.
It stands to reason that the further inside the country, the more the burden of baggage must be solved by civilian transportation capacity. The transportation capacity of the military's baggage battalion must be used on the frontline battlefield. Nowadays, the amount of materials hoarded in the south is so huge, and the line from Tanshi to Zhuohuoguan can be regarded as a long supply line. If we do not rely on civilian transportation capacity and rely solely on the army's own supply camp, wouldn't it be a waste of main force? Isn't it time to assemble the baggage camp outside the pass?
"This is not clear. However, Liu Hengyi also mentioned that the situation may be adjusted later."
"Ask your "car drivers" to pay as much attention to the changes in soldiers and the movement of food as possible. All this information is classified as top secret, and your four departments are responsible for filing and analysis. I ask you to establish a complete report as soon as possible. Do you understand the structure of the situation analysis in the south?"
"I understand, sir. I will urge you to proceed as soon as possible."
If something needs to be done, do it first. Nowadays, the most tense thing in the country is the military affairs in the south. The military affairs in the south even affect the direction of all things in the imperial city, whether it is the "war and peace" dispute between the civil servants and the emperor, or the "test and battle" between the emperor and the prince. "Answer" are closely related to military matters.
Since the higher authorities have tacitly approved Shen Hao's extension of the scope of the Blackwater Project, they cannot let go of the current situation in the south. It's just that Shen Hao didn't expect that the general manager of the southern military road would abnormally stay in the territory, which in disguise delayed the time for the carriage to go deep into the south. I'm afraid we have to wait for a complete analysis of the situation. At the very least, The situation in the south has to become more tense.
After discussing some details with Shen Hao, Wang Jian talked about the second thing: "The other thing is also news from Liu Hengyi, about the Baijiang waters. He asked someone to find out about the situation in the Baijiang waters. Baijiang Seventy percent of Jiangshang's share is in the hands of a carriage and horse racing company called "Tianyi"."
