Chapter 11: The Second Escalation
Reaching the second-level level of qi refining, Zhao Ergou's physical physique once again began to self-refining and detoxifying, and a fishy smell bubbled out from his body, quickly filling the entire tent space, waking up Min'er and Cicada, who were already asleep.
"Hey, hey, it stinks, what's going on? Is there any salted fish in the camp? The greedy cicada hadn't fully woken up yet, and giggled in a daze, thinking that there was another benefit.
"No, is someone pooping outside the tent?" Min'er was much more sober and was about to correct the cicada.
"Shhhh Silence! He Ping hurriedly stopped the two.
In the ancient army, it was absolutely forbidden to make a sound when sleeping at night. Otherwise, it was dark in the middle of the night, so many soldiers gathered together, and they didn't know what was going on, and under the panic of the people, it was easy for panic stampede accidents such as "camp roaring" to occur.
Shan Wu and Liu Qi, who were asleep at the door, also woke up, and according to He Ping's instructions, they hurriedly went to the well to fetch a basin of water and brought it in.
He Ping asked Lu Min'er to wipe his body for a while, and then asked the second daughter to go to bed first, and continued to check the results of this upgrade by himself.
This upgrade is not new to He Ping, it is just a process of unlocking immortal power. It was evident to him that the framework of the spirit body was clearer and more solid, and that it was becoming more and more effective in feeding back to the body. If nothing else, the physical quality of this Zhao Ergou will continue to improve by about 50% two days, and it can probably reach the physical fitness level of amateur athletes in the future.
Upgrading improves physical quality, and it is also helpful for mental power, at least He Ping feels that he is a lot smarter. The improvement of intelligence level, from the perspective of actual combat, is reflected in the improvement of agility ability and the improvement of problem-solving ability.
In addition to these, what surprised He Ping the most was that the "Seven Soul Bracelet" on his wrist reappeared.
The Seven Soul Bracelet was snatched by He Ping when he was practicing immortals before, killing a Jindan immortal cultivator. This is a magic weapon with space storage performance, refined from the souls of seven dead Jindan immortal cultivators, and it is very useful.
Generally, the space magic weapons of immortal cultivators are physical, such as a ring, or a necklace or something. This seven soul bracelet is after recognizing the master, and it becomes a soul body to follow the master. This is also the only belongings that He Ping can follow him after his soul penetrates into this world this time.
He Daxian originally had three similar spatial storage devices on his body, and this Seven Soul Bracelet was one of them. Because it is relatively slow to start and retrieve things, it is not the best choice for the occasion of fighting, so He Ping just placed some idle items in it. It was so long ago that he couldn't even remember what was in it.
The Seven Soul Bracelet has a total of seven layers of space, and now He Ping's spirit level is too low, and this Seven Soul Bracelet has just opened the first layer of space.
This first layer of space is about two cubic meters, and there is only a book, a Tang knife, and a round shield in it.
This Tang knife is a low-level magic weapon, called the "Dark Moon Knife". It is not of much use to immortal cultivators, they can only be held and waved in their hands, and cannot be used as a flying sword, and they have no other special attributes, and their only function is that they are particularly strong and sharp.
The round shield is a set of this Tang knife, called "obsidian shield". It also has no characteristics other than being extremely strong.
In the era of cultivating immortals before, He Ping basically didn't use this set of swords and shields much, this kind of magic weapon with pure physical attributes belonged to garbage equipment in the eyes of immortal cultivators, and it was too cold to give it to younger generations, and it couldn't be sent out, so it was always in his hand.
However, for He Daxian, who is now a mortal, this is the best weapon.
In the pitch-black tent, He Ping smiled silently, gloomy, fortunately no one could see it.
His current weapon as the captain is a round shield and a long knife, and he can just replace it with a new weapon, and it doesn't look much worse on the outside anyway.
He Ping removed the cowhide from the original wooden round shield in the dark and covered it on the surface of the "obsidian shield".
Waved it, it was very light, suitable for his thin body.
Meditating cross-legged, He Ping began to meditate, letting the remaining aura walk in his body for a few weeks, and exercising his physical body more solidly.
When the sky was dark, he opened the book in the Seven Soul Bracelets.
This is a martial arts method for mortals to practice qigong, and the title of the book is called "Jianxin Zhenjing". This book He Ping picked up from a certain high-martial arts world, and in that world, it can be regarded as a top-level martial arts mental method. Of course, for a true immortal cultivator like He Ping, no matter how clever this martial arts method is, it is useless at all. He used to just pick it up as a souvenir.
There are not many Chinese words in the book, only more than thirty thin pages, which may not be understood by ordinary people for a year, but for He Daxian it is too shallow, he only read it for half an hour and knew it all.
Although this "Heart Appreciation Sutra" is of little use to He Ping himself, it can be used by other mortals.
He Daxian had a plan in his heart. After thinking about it for a moment, I made up my mind.
It was already dark, and the entire barracks was full of people. Some people are still drinking water and eating steamed buns, and many more have begun to pack up and fold their tents.
He Ping casually inspected everywhere, and after ordering and arranging the two captains, he went to wait outside the captain's tent to wait.
"Morning, Captain Huang."
Seeing that Huang Zhi was already standing at the door of the captain's tent, He Ping hurriedly stepped forward to say hello.
"Morning, Captain Zhao."
Since the last time the two fought, Huang Zhi still admires He Ping very much. At least he will think that he is powerful and powerful, and Zhao Ping is agile and agile, and he is really fighting for life and death, and he is not sure who will lose and who will win.
There is no other interaction in the army, and the powerful are respected.
Several other captains also came over, including Captain Chen Tian of the Xinzi team to which He Ping originally belonged. Several captains exchanged pleasantries with each other, and in the past two days, everyone already knew that Captain Huang had newly selected a new captain with very high martial arts, and even Huang Zhi couldn't take advantage of it.
Before long, Captain Huang Qiang beckoned everyone into the tent and gathered on the map on the table, roughly describing the marching route and essentials.
After the two infantry battalions of Ding Chen and Ding Yin are transferred to Yingzhou, they will be under the command of Guo Chongwei, the capital of the Yingzhou Cavalry. Because Guo Chongwei is still guarding the city in Yingzhou, Yin Xian, the eldest son of Yin Hui, who temporarily followed Yingzhou Jiedu to make Yin Hui return to Yingzhou, is temperate.
Two infantry battalions followed two hundred Yingzhou cavalry, and they could reach Yanmen Pass by walking about 300 miles. After the Yanmen Pass, walk another hundred miles to Yingzhou.
It was 9 a.m. and the army set out.
