Huo Qubing sent out his military aura, and the incantations in the beads overflowed one after another, turning into dots of light, imprinted around his body, intertwined and connected, and the light almost covered his whole body.
"It turns out to be a piece of armor."
The correct way to use this bead is with armor.
The light spot incantation overflowing from the bead can be combined with each nail leaf, doubling the protective power.
Huo Qubing stretched out his finger, and countless mantra light spots reunited and fell back into the bead.
After this bead is refined, it will automatically dissolve the incantation inside for protection when encountering danger.
Huo Qubing reached into the box again and took out the second thing, which was still a bead.
The two beads are black and white, and the second one is slightly smaller and as dark as the deep sky.
The gift Ji Qiu gave was a pair, and the two beads were for Huo Qubing and Liu Qing respectively.
The Mohist family's protective methods are the strongest among the nine major schools. Considering that the beads are made by Juzi himself, the protective power must be very impressive.
And when Huo Qubing sent his spiritual thoughts to the beads for sacrifice, he made a new discovery.
The next moment, the White Tiger Yuanshen differentiated between his brows and manifested into a body shape of about a foot. The beads also changed at the same moment. Countless mantras were imprinted on the White Tiger Yuanshen, creating a layer of armor with a flowing halo.
The white tiger wears armor and becomes more majestic.
"It's actually a double armor of body and spirit..."
Armor that can protect the soul is rare for Huo Qubing.
He took back the white tiger and looked at the jade box used to hold beads, which was as big as a palm.
After looking at it for a moment, I realized that there was also a cave inside the jade box, hiding ingenuity.
The inside of this jade box is very shallow and can hold two thumb-sized beads.
But from the outside, the jade box is about five inches high, which means that part of the space on the bottom floor of the jade box is occupied.
Is there a hidden grid?
There are butt joint patterns inside the jade box. Because the fit is very precise, it is difficult to find without paying attention.
Huo Qubing did a little research, sent in the breath to explore, and quickly found the pattern, triggering the mechanism of the jade box.
There was a sound of a machine button coming from the box, and there were lines moving horizontally, like a secret door opening, and there was a small jade figure inside, flipping up from the bottom of the box, and at the same time, it also caused other changes in the box.
The first jade figurine was pressed down below, and then a second jade figurine appeared, three inches high, with flawless white walls.
Two jade figurines, both naked, one male and one female, are beautifully carved. Every position is full of details, including expressions, body features and the source of reproduction.
The small box is the 'house' where the two jade figurines live.
While Huo Qubing was thinking about what these two villains could do, the two jade figurines began to operate in the box.
Standing still, holding the side wall of the jade box, bending at the waist... Sometimes the two are in front and back, sometimes up and down, the buttons are opened and closed, and they fit together tightly, making the two become one.
The two villains quickly completed a set of actions together, then sank into the box and returned to their original state.
Huo Qubing tried again, and the two villains who appeared again did not perform a set of moves compared to last time.
The first set of movements is to stand against the wall, and the second set of movements is to grow lotuses on the shoulders...
"It turns out to be the jade figurines of King Chu..." Huo Qubing suddenly realized.
He remembered reading an ancient scroll in Shiqu Pavilion. It recorded that the Mohist family made a set of jade figurines for the leader of the Chu Kingdom during the Warring States Period. They were palace secrets and had a good reputation. Unexpectedly, they accidentally fell into his hands.
In hand.
This thing is a curious thing, a gadget used by the king of Chu and his concubines to increase their fun.
It is believed that Ji Qiu thought that Huo Qubing and the young man and woman of Her Royal Highness the Princess would send them to enhance the happiness of the couple. He said in advance that he would send two small baubles, one of which was a pair of beads, and the second one was the jade figurine of King Chu.
In terms of production difficulty and sophistication, these two villains are exactly the same as those two beads.
And there is another mystery in its movements. A line will emerge in the body, which is the method of moving qi in the palace. The combination of yin and yang is similar to the secret book given by the emperor to Huo Qubing.
Emperors all liked this tune... Huo Qubing smiled.
I heard from Bai Nanyu that Ji Qiu was severely beaten by Zonghengdao, and his family members died as a result.
He gave such an expensive and thoughtful gift when they met, maybe he also had the intention of thanking Huo Qubing for destroying the Zonghengdao.
"Huo Hou!"
The chariot had been stopped for a while, and the pro-military accompanying the chariot issued a warning.
Huo Qubing immediately put away the small box, got out of the car and entered Liangyuan.
……
"Recheck these two messages... pay special attention to the Xiongnu's movements to the east grassland."
Liu Qing had a palace in Liangyuan, the embroidery base camp, where he handled official business. It was quiet and quiet, located on the third floor of the main palace, and the window had an excellent view.
The halo of the setting sun shines in from the window, giving Liu Qing's side face a very three-dimensional light and shadow. His white forehead, straight bridge of nose, lips as moist as fresh fruit and delicate chin are all charming and charming.<
/p>
Outside the hall stood Liu Qing's entourage, and inside the room was Song Ran, whom Ru Bohu had called over to serve as her deputy.
"Princess, send more people to explore the east grassland. What clues did you find?"
Song Ran conveyed Liu Qing's order to other embroidered clothes and asked in a casual tone.
Liu Qing said matter-of-factly: "I haven't found any other clues. I heard from my husband last night that although Fuyu and Wuhuan were captured in the Eastern Grassland, they were only defeated. The situation is not stable. Around the Eastern Grassland, there may be more follow-up."
Question.
At this time, deploy manpower first to take precautions. If the Xiongnu is unwilling to give in and takes action later, we can deal with it more calmly."
It turned out to be the champion who said it, so it seems that he is right...Song Ran agreed.
Liu Qing was reading an ancient scroll, and her red lips would occasionally purse. This was her habitual action when she was focusing on something.
After a while, she put down the ancient scroll and stretched her waist. She suddenly felt something strange. She turned around and saw Huo Qubing standing not far away.
"Husband..."
As night fell, the two of them left Liangyuan by car and set off home.
Huo Qubing gave the beads for protection to Liu Qing, then took out the jade box containing the beads, and asked two villains to perform a boudoir routine for the princess.
After looking at it, Liu Qing chuckled and said, "Where did you get this thing from? Is it a jade figurine of the King of Chu?"
"So the princess has also seen the introduction of the relevant secret books..." Huo Qubing blinked.
The secret books are the little emperor's books of this era.
Liu Qing said calmly: "Before I got married to my husband, the clan took a lot of secret books and said that newlyweds must learn from them."
"Then what have you learned? Let me demonstrate it to my husband tonight."
The night is deep and the sky is full of stars.
Huo Qubing returned to his residence and had a pleasant conversation with Her Royal Highness. After she went to bed, he went to the study to start his homework and practice.
When he fell into silence, the military formations outside his body spread silently, covering the entire mansion.
And he sank his consciousness into the sea of consciousness, merged with Xuanwu, and entered the ancient well... I don’t know how long it took before Huo Qubing woke up from his practice.
The ancient well in my consciousness and the vast symbols on the well wall were finally able to get close this time and feel it carefully.
Those symbols seem to come from different historical periods, some are extremely ancient, and others are not that strong.
The symbols on the wall of the ancient well are like a brand between heaven and earth... And why is there an ancient well in the Mausoleum of the First Emperor?
Huo Qubing finished his practice, and his mind was filled with thoughts. The moment he opened his eyes, the array patterns outside his body were recovered and sank into his body.
At this moment, the void in front of him suddenly changed abnormally, ripples appeared without warning, and it was like a 'fold' appeared in the space, and then slowly calmed down.
There had never been a similar situation before, so Huo Qubing was a little surprised.
"You saw it."
Tao Zun's face was mysteriously peeked out of the window, and the corners of his mouth seemed to have a slight gloss: "You can see the fluctuations in the cave sky in the three realms, and you are the first one."
It is not surprising that Tao Zun has profound spiritual practice and lives in his mansion, so he can sense the changes caused by the Qi emanating from Huo Qubing's practice.
"Remember what I told you before, there are many secrets in this world, and it is not as simple as it seems.
This phenomenon is one of them."
Taoist Master stepped in directly from the window and sat opposite: "As your realm continues to improve, you may hear strange sounds coming from the depths of the void, which are different from the kind of ghost-like sounds you hear at the level of your Yin body.
Whispers.
Some people say that it is a kind of fairy sound, a voice sent by immortals into the world to guide all living beings to enlightenment."
"So there is a reason why so many people have been seeking immortality since ancient times. The deeper they practice, the more secrets they perceive in the depths of the void, and the more certain they are that there are immortals in the world?" Huo Qubing said with narrowed eyes.
Tao Zun raised his head and said: "Among the practitioners above the fifth realm of heaven and human, there has been a rumor that the disappearance of my ancestors of Taoism, Lao Tzu and others, is the discovery of the secrets in the depths of the void, beyond our world, stepping into the world.
On the road to immortality.
The First Emperor's pursuit of immortality may have something to do with this.
According to our Taoist records, the cause of the change in the void seems to be related to the birth and destruction of the cave sky."
He continued: "Usually, it takes a military strategist to reach the fifth realm and open a small military mansion to discover the changes in the void.
I tell you this so that you will not be affected by it, and there is no need to think deeply. It is best to keep the leaves falling on the lake and leave no traces of your life, otherwise it will affect your practice."
"After you open the small military mansion, you need to capture these void fluctuations and integrate them into the expanded military mansion."
Tao Zun seemed to have something urgent to do, so he left after saying that. Huo Qubing could vaguely smell the fragrance of chicken drumsticks hidden in his sleeves...
"When you open the Xiaobing Mansion, you will find the changes in the void... It is also called the secret of the cave sky, and is related to many ancient people's quest for immortality." Huo Qubing muttered.
In the morning, he went to attend the court meeting.
After going to court, I went to the Guards Hall to handle various military affairs, and then came to the Military Mansion again in the afternoon.
At this time, various things have been moved into the military mansion one after another to form a military industrial camp.
The thing is a piece of utensils that Huo Qubing wanted from Xiuyi's subordinate Yuanwuzoying.
In the follow-up, the Moh family will need to dig a casting well to collect earth fire and lay out formations. This is a huge project, and it will take at least ten months of preparation in the early stage before it can begin to take shape.

The building where foreign envoys live.
Roshna's personal attendant, Bo Hatake, placed a simple book in front of her.
In the main hall of the diplomatic building where they lived, the envoys from Qiuci and Gumo also sat.
Both of their eyes also fell on the scroll.
Roshna picked up the brief book and read it for a moment, then finally sighed and handed the brief letter to the envoys Qiuci and Gumo.
After the two of them finished reading, they looked at each other with expressions of surprise and solemnity.
"Is the content on this slip credible?"
"Observations during this period, plus some other news channels, can confirm that the contents of the brief book are true."
"If the Han Dynasty mobilizes with all its strength, it will indeed have millions of troops, which is more than the population of many countries in our western region." The envoy from Qiuci said.
The brief book was sent by the emperor himself because Roshna wanted to know more about the national power of the Han Dynasty.
The book summarizes the victories and defeats of the Han army in recent years.
Including the current size of the Han army, the detailed rules of the war, and some records of various aspects of the Han Dynasty.
"One hundred thousand forbidden troops and four hundred thousand frontier troops. Even if we exclude the part that cannot be mobilized, the number of combat elites of the frontier troops is still more than one hundred thousand. Including the local garrison, the number of millions of troops is not an empty lie.
The fact that the Han Dynasty can support this kind of military strength shows the prosperity of the country."
The envoy from Gumo read the slip and exclaimed: "This slip also contains a summary of the victory, defeat, capture, consumption and other related battles of the Han army last year.
The Han army was led by generals Wei Qing and Huo Qubing.
Champion Hou started his campaign against the Xiongnu in the spring of last year. Within a year, he conquered the south and the north, and almost had conflicts with all the barbarians. The rich captures are enviable, but it is a pity that we do not have such good generals in the Western Region."
"If what is said on the slip is true, then the actual strength of the Han has surpassed that of the Xiongnu."
"The strength of the Xiongnu and Han cannot be judged solely by the number of troops. The Xiongnu has about 400,000 elites, but they are all cavalry, more flexible and more aggressive." The envoy from Gumo said.
"For us, there is no choice."
Roshna said softly: "I contacted the leader of the country through Shata. The leader said that as long as autonomy can be maintained, other conditions of the Han people will be accepted."
