Chapter 5 Cultivating the Essentials of Taiping

"Someone asking to see you?"

The three brothers looked at the visitor in unison, and the man was wearing ordinary soldier armor, and although he looked a little handsome, it could not hide the fact that he was a big soldier.

There is no way, in the troubled times, many things will be ignored, and they all have to make way for strength.

Needless to say, this big-headed soldier is Zhou Ping.

This is not the first soldier to defect to Liu Bei, Liu Bei received it very skillfully, he first thanked Zhou Ping for his dedication, and then said that the environment on his side was not good, and he worked hard for everyone. So Zhou Ping said that he admired Uncle Liu's virtue and didn't care about living a hard life.

As he spoke the usual polite words, Zhou Ping felt a sense of detachment, as if this conversation should not take place in ancient times, but in modern times.

Zhou Ping was thinking like this in his heart, but Liu Bei saw a corner of "Taiping Technique" in Zhou Ping's arms.

"What are you...... Literate?! ”

Liu Bei was really a little surprised at this time, he never expected that such a thing as books would appear on a big-headed soldier - since you are literate, what else are you doing big-headed soldiers!

The newly-born princes of the Nineteenth Route had many problems, in addition to the food and grass problems mentioned earlier, and another was that there were no talents under them, and there was no one who could help deal with military affairs.

“…… Well, a little. ”

Facing Liu Bei's gaze, Zhou Ping nodded stiffly, he was literate, but he hadn't learned the official book of this era.

"Look at this, then!"

I saw Liu Bei hurriedly walk up to Zhou Ping and take out a piece of bamboo from his arms.

“…… Today...... Night Watch......"

Zhou Ping even guessed and admitted, and finally reluctantly read it.

"Good! Then you will be the master bookkeeper! ”

Without waiting for Zhou Ping to finish reading, Liu Bei waved his hand and decided.

What?

Zhou Ping didn't expect that he would recognize a few words, how could he become the master book?!

However, in the face of Liu Bei's somewhat enthusiastic gaze, Zhou Ping still accepted Liu Bei's appointment.

"Yes, my lord!"

"Very good, in that case, it just so happens that the meal is about to start, so let's go eat first."

Liu Bei smiled benevolently, although there are problems in front of him, but the sorrow is obviously not allowed to be seen by the soldiers below, and the outflow of some negative emotions may disturb the morale of the army.

"Thank you, lord!"

At the moment, he has no reputation and no strength, Liu Bei treats himself like a big-headed soldier and is indeed worthy of his reputation for benevolence, Zhou Ping hurriedly bowed and said goodbye.

Dinner was a simple porridge with salt, although the porridge was not thick, and the taste of salt was a little bitter, but seeing that the three brothers Liu Guanzhang as the commander ate the same as the soldiers, the soldiers below did not complain, but began to praise the three brothers for their example.

Don't suffer from widowhood and unevenness, Sage Confucius sincerely does not deceive me.

During the meal, the three of them also chatted with Zhou Ping a few more words, although it was just a homely chat, but Zhou Ping pinched a cold sweat, but fortunately, he finally let him fool the past - troubled times, it is normal to be vague in the past.

He is now the chief bookkeeper, so he naturally has a shack to deal with military affairs alone. After dinner, he sat at the table under the pretext of handling military affairs, and when he saw that no one paid attention to him, he finally took out the book "Taiping Essentials" that Zuo Ci gave him and studied it carefully.

There are two kinds of people in this world, one is ordinary and the other is transcendent. And transcendent people can be divided into two categories, one is a military general, and the other is a strategist.

"To put it bluntly, it's a mage and a warrior."

Referring to the annotation left by the senior who replaced Zhang Jiao, Zhou Ping muttered quietly.

Some generals and strategists are born, and some can only be become through acquired efforts. And this kind of behavior of becoming a military general or strategist through acquired efforts, "Taiping Yaoshu" named it awakening.

There are many ways to awaken, some have experienced great joy and sorrow awakening, and some have suddenly had an epiphany awakening, and the cultivation cheats are the simplest of these methods.

Most of the cheats in the world are controlled by the family, and the family also regards it as the treasure of the town, so there are very few cheats left outside, and "Taiping Yaoshu" is such a secret book that is left behind.

"The family."

Zhou Ping looked up to the sky and exhaled, these three kingdoms seem to be warlords fighting each other, but secretly operating are those families who control talents, and this world is even more outrageous, directly making the family a place to train mages.

Pifu is not guilty of his crimes, it seems that this "Taiping Technique" is a hot potato.

Zhou Ping rubbed his temples, and just as he had finished reading the preface of the book, he dipped his fingers with saliva and turned to the next page.

Aside from the preface, "Taiping Essentials" can be divided into two parts, the first part can be regarded as the skill part, and the latter part can be regarded as the mental method part.

It's just that the skills taught on it are not entirely for combat, in addition to the thunder method used in combat, it also records a series of high-end knowledge such as divination, pills, talismans, ghost paths, and arrays.

"It's really taking care of our gang of traversers, it's like writing the entire skill tree into it."

Now he doesn't have the mental method, and he can't use these skills, but just a cursory glance, Zhou Ping can also feel the reliability of this book.

There is true qi between heaven and earth, and human cultivation is to gather these true qi into one's own body and then preserve it.

Follow the instructions in the book, first sit cross-legged with your heart facing the sky, then close your eyes and recite the Dharma in your heart.

"The year is in Jiazi, and the world is lucky."

"Boom!"

Zhou Ping, who didn't have much hope, only felt that a bang suddenly sounded in his mind, and then, the originally dark vision changed instantly.

"Wow......"

Zhou Ping unconsciously admired softly.

In front of you, it's beautiful.

In Zhou Ping's field of vision, at this moment he seemed to see another world, or rather, saw another side of this world.

In this field of vision, all physical objects are gone, replaced by dim shadows of mist.

That's not the biggest change, though.

The biggest change comes from heaven.

The stars and the moon are still the same as the stars and the moon, and between the heavens and the earth, there are countless rivers composed of some kind of mist, which flow quietly in the sky, exuding a soft and slightly phantasmaginous light.

It's as if the whole sky is covered with auroras, but these aurora lights are close enough to be reached.

Yes, at your fingertips.

Zhou Ping tentatively stretched out his finger to the nearest river, although he didn't feel the touch, the mist did disperse because of the agitation of his fingers.

"Is this true qi?"

Zhou Ping said, according to the record of "Taiping Yaoshu", these mist are the true qi that fills the heaven and earth.

Being able to see the true qi is the first step, and the next step is to absorb this true qi into the body.

He clasped his hands in a circle and silently recited the mantra, and under the guidance of the mantra, an invisible vortex slowly formed in his dantian.

A wisp of gossamer-like true qi seemed to be guided by the suction of the whirlpool and burrowed into Zhou Ping's body.

Then came the second and third wisps......
