Ji Qiu agreed: "This is not an ordinary flower. ”

The flowers in his hands are yellow and green, and the leaves are oval, green as jade.

The middle position is clustered with a small flower like a jade carving, which seems to be unopened, the flowers and leaves are stacked on top of each other, the bottom layer is the largest, and it gradually closes up and becomes smaller, the whole is tower-shaped, and the bottom layer has a diameter of about a foot.

Huo Quzhi noticed that the leaves of this flower had a golden hexagonal or pentagonal pattern like a star, which was delicate and beautiful.

"This flower is called the Emperor Star Golden Lotus, which is designated as one of the "Five Trees and Six Flowers" by my Mo family, and is also called Tongxin Lotus. ”

Ji Qiu beckoned, and a young man in a brown Hanfu ran over quickly.

"I've seen Champion Hou."

The young man saluted respectfully, then bared his teeth and smiled, revealing eight white teeth, and smiled very standardly.

"This is the biggest gain of my imprisonment in the Zonghengdao Mountain Gate, disciple Qiao Yi."

Ji Qiu handed one of the pots of flowers to his apprentice.

Qiao Yi held the flower pot and ran away quickly, until he was dozens of feet away.

Because there is a mist in the secret territory of the military palace, the figure of dozens of zhang is quite blurred.

But Huo Quzhi could still see Qiao Yi a little farther away, branded with divine thoughts, and put his fingers on the leaves of the Emperor Star Lotus, making a writing shape.

On the leaves of another pot of Emperor Star Lotus that Ji Qiu was holding, there was a glimmer of light circulating, and the handwriting appeared: "Master." ”

Can this flower and leaf convey a message?

"How?"

Ji Qiu was a little complacent and pulled off the leaves that appeared and handed them to Huo Quai.

On the back of the blade, if you look closely, there is a pattern texture that seems to have grown naturally.

"The third-generation patriarch of my Mo family, who is also a farmer, found that the leaves of this concentric lotus naturally grow like a formation, and as long as it is slightly improved and guided, the leaf path can become a tool for transmitting information.

Of course, the premise is that two people from my Mo family who practice the artifact attachment technique need to pass on each other before they can do it.

Until you find a more convenient way to communicate, you can temporarily use Concentric Lotus Leaf for communication. ”

"What's the teleportation distance?"

"I don't know how far the upper limit is, but it's a good idea."

"Huo Hou come with me."

Ji Qiu was full of interest, and went out of the secret realm on the second floor of the military mansion, and then walked out of the military mansion after coming to the first floor.

The afternoon sun shines through the shade of the trees, creating a golden sand-like spot on the ground.

Ji Qiu picked two leaves at random on an ancient tree next to the official road outside the military mansion, handed one to Huo Quai, took the other one himself, and repeated the process just now.

The leaves on Huo Quzhi's hands also changed, but the handwriting was very blurry, and he couldn't see what it was at all.

"Not only the concentric lotus, but also the stems and leaves of most trees, there is a wonderful connection between the textures that is difficult to explain.

Even different plants and trees, as long as they grow in the same area, and the underground root system has some kind of collusion, people who have practiced the artifact attachment technique in my Mo family may transmit the message, but it is far less clear than the content transmitted by the Tongxin lotus.

Besides, Huo Hou, you have not practiced the attachment technique of artifacts, so you can't use it as a carrier, and receive and present specific content. ”

Is the communication of bamboo slips on the vertical and horizontal road also a similar way?

"This method was improved on the basis of my Mo family sages who were trapped in the mountain gate of Zonghengdao, and the purpose was to transmit information to the outside world, but unfortunately I have not been able to develop a method that can be transmitted without the attachment of artifacts."

"How long can the stems and leaves of the concentric lotus be preserved after being plucked?"

"After targeted cultivation, the concentric lotus is added to the soil with trace amounts of coniferous wood chips and copper chips, and the leaves that grow are extremely resilient and can be preserved for at least three or four years without damage."

Ji Qiu said: "The communication method of Zonghengdao is only limited to high-level use, and it does not master the relatively inexpensive method of Tongxin Lotus. ”

"This method of communication must rely on the artifact attachment technique practiced by the Mo family?"

"Yes, if it is not for the attachment technique, the message conveyed is not clear and it is easy to make mistakes."

It's not too much trouble to bring a Mo disciple to the team as a messenger...... Huo Quzhi asked:

"What are the restrictions on the cultivation of the attachment technique, and how many people in your Mo family have mastered it?"

"I have more than 120 ink workers under my command, and there are about 40 people who have mastered the attachment of artifacts."

Ji Qiu said: "The cultivation of the artifact attachment technique is quite difficult, and there are also requirements for talent, and people with strong soul sensing ability, that is, high comprehension, can practice.

This is also the reason why this method of communication is not conducive to popularization, and another limitation is the production of concentric lotus.

My young apprentice, Qiao Yi, was able to introduce the artifact attachment technique and communicate it in four days, and he was one of the fastest people in my Mo family to practice this technique, and his talent was good. ”

Huo Quzhi pondered for a moment: "You tell me about the law of the attachment technique." ”

Ji Qiu immediately said a Mojia law decision: "If you don't attack, you can't advance, meditate and keep one, your body and mind are empty, and your soul is the seal...... This law decision requires the cooperation of my Mo family's mental law, and it is useless for others to listen to the law alone. ”

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw Huo Qubing writing on the concentric lotus leaf he had handed over before, and the words appeared on the other leaf he was holding in his hand: "Ji Qiu." ”

"Huh?"

Ji Qiu's mouth opened slightly: "Huo Hou has learned my Mojia heart method?" ”

"Nope."

"But it's not too difficult, maybe we can make some improvements and promote it more widely among scouts."

When the two returned to the military mansion together, Ji Qiu still didn't recover a little, and looked at the back of Huo Quai's head from the diagonal back, and had the urge to study its structure.

"Although there is this kind of concentric lotus communication, the research on the jade knife cannot be stopped, and there may be some secrets of the vertical and horizontal path in it."

Huo Quzhi took out the summons bamboo slips that were also seized from the King of Huainan:

"Let's take a look at this guy and figure out why they can rely on this kind of brief book to write and communicate with each other."

Ji Qiu agreed repeatedly.

He led Huo Qubing back to the second floor of the military mansion and came to another location to check the progress of the preparation of other utensils.

The Mo family built seven or eight wooden buildings in the military talisman, and the division of labor was different.

Ji Qiu took Huo to get sick and came to another wooden building.

There is a pair of armor hanging here, and there are leather scrolls, bamboo slips and other objects on the low table next to it, outlining the dismantling pattern of the armor.

This wooden building was built by more than 20 Mojia craftsmen, both men and women, who immersed themselves in researching ways to improve the protective ability of armor.

The Mo family's defensive array is what they are best at, from a large city to a wrench in their hand, which can be used to carve and make armor.

However, the preparation of armor, from the Shang and Zhou dynasties, through the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, to the Qin and Han dynasties, has changed from generation to generation, and there have been Mo family craftsmen involved in the design and production before, which has reached a bottleneck period, and it is not easy to continue to optimize.

"I want to see Huo Hou's armor." Ji Qiu asked.

Huo Qubing wore the highest grade of the Han army's general armor, prismatic armor leaves, wrists, elbows and other positions are fine small armor leaves, which did not delay the flexibility of movement and battle, and each armor leaf was carefully crafted, engraved with spells, and there were almost no protective dead ends.

But what Ji Qiu wanted to see was not the armor that could be seen on the surface.

It is the cultivation of the soldiers, and the internal qi and the armor worn on the body are combined to form the heavenly and human realm armor.

Huo Quai's illness immediately triggered the strength in his body.

His formation realm was different, and the qi and the spirit yarrow talisman were blended, like a formation constructed by the veins of the human body, slowly emerging.

Under the flow of qi in the body, the armor outside the body also emits bursts of halo, and the internal and external senses form incomparably precise lines, intertwined on the worn armor.

In front of Huo Quzhi's chest, the head of a soldier talisman white tiger first appeared, with murderous intent, and it was invincible.

On its shoulder blades and the armor on its back, it faintly shows tortoiseshell lines, and the protection is heavy.

In the elbows, wrists, and delicate nail leaves on the arms, there are snake scale-like lines coiled, and the armpit lines faintly form the wings of the snake, which has the effect of lightening the body and increasing the speed of movement.

The entire armor and the four major talismans merged, the glimmer of light flowed, and countless spells were extinguished, which was brilliant and dazzling.

Ji Qiuzai carefully looked at the texture on the armor, his eyes were almost obsessed, similar to the state of forty years of hardcore singles seeing beautiful women.

"Huo Hou's military cultivation is really exquisite, and with the outer armor, it seems to be made by a heavenly craftsman."

The surrounding inkmen who studied the armor also came to watch it closely, and they were amazed.

"Huo Hou's armor has you ever tried, what level of protection has it reached?" Ji Qiu asked.

Huo Quai: "After the Three Realms of Heaven and Man, I haven't encountered an opponent who needs to urge the armor with all my might, and I haven't tried the protection level. ”

At this time, the armor on his body gradually disappeared, and Ji Qiu showed an unfinished look.

"You step up your research and strive to have something that can be used before the next war with the Huns."

Huo Qubing came out of the secret realm on the second floor of the military mansion.

The first-floor military mansion has become a training ground for the forbidden army, and there are not a few soldiers who conduct training.

Boom!

The sound of swords and soldiers colliding came and went, except for the confrontation with the Wei Wushu queue that had evolved into the military formation. On one side of the military mansion, there is also a cyan boulder that is more than ten zhang high and looks like a hill.

The boulder is also carved with protective formations, as thick as a shield.

There are quite a few people who practice swords around the boulder.

Use the most stupid method, with thousands of shots, to practice the stability of chopping.

In the military, the purpose of many training programs is not only to exercise strength and technique, but also to exercise will.

A firm will, not afraid of the enemy, not arrogant in the face of weakness, and immovable as iron, is the most trustworthy and invincible foundation of a team.

The requirement for these soldiers is to prohibit internal cultivation when practicing basic movements, so they train the most fundamental physical strength.

Every time the knife is struck, it will be bounced back by the protective bullet formed by the incantation engraved on the boulder, and it is difficult to shake it in the slightest.

However, it is a basic requirement for each person to perform at least 500 times a day.

It seems to be boring training, but on the battlefield, it is a life-saving means to destroy the enemy.

And there is a crack in the middle of the boulder that splits the whole boulder in two from the middle.

It was Huo Quai's recent visit to the military mansion and the armor-piercing knife technique he personally demonstrated, which was a miracle.

The existence of the knife marks was like a clearly visible target, stimulating these subordinates to be full of motivation for several days, and they practiced the art of splitting and slashing armor on their own.

Huo Qubing was about to leave, when he saw Li Guang walking into the military mansion from outside, striding into the meteor.

Wei Qing was in charge of the border pass, so Li Guang was able to be transferred back to Chang'an to take a turn of rest.

"Huo Hou!"

Li Guang also heard that the forbidden army had developed a new training ground for the military palace, so he came to take a look.

He saw the knife on the boulder that split it in two, and looked at it intently for a moment and said, "This is the sword intent left by Huo Hou, so sheng!" ”

"Well, I want to further improve the archery skills of the forbidden army and let General Li serve as the chief archery instructor of the forbidden army, how about it?" Huo went to the sick road.

Regarding cultivation, everyone has their own secret skills, and Li Guang is no different.

His archery skills are very powerful, but what is passed on to his subordinates is only a corner of his fingers.

"Huo Hou's arrow plan is also the crown of the whole army, why don't you teach it?" Li Guang asked rhetorically.

"General Li is known as a flying general, and I am not as good as you when it comes to arrows." Huo Quzhi said humbly.

Li Guang was relieved and said, "Since Lang Zhongling sincerely invited, I can't refuse."

In this way, when I was in Chang'an, I took some time to teach archery to the military palace every day, and I can't guarantee whether I can learn it. ”

"General Li patiently taught, and the soldiers practiced hard, so they could naturally learn."

Huo Qu was sick and wanted to bring Li Guang in first, slowly find the arrow in his hand, and practice for the forbidden army.

When he came out of the military mansion and rode back to the Hou mansion, it was dark.

The stars and moon were all over the sky, and at the gate of the Hou Mansion, there were as many as twenty or thirty cars waiting in line.

Someone in the car saw Huo Qu coming back from illness, and they came down one after another: "Huo Hou! ”

Most of the envoys from various tribes who came to Chang'an recently, in addition, Zhang Cigong, who returned to Chang'an with Li Guang, was also there.
