The horseshoes on the long street are crisp and the moonlight night is lonely.
Huo Qubing had a brief conversation with Qin Qingyu: "How long will Dao Zun stay in Chang'an?"
"I won't leave in a short time. Let's see if there is a chance to find all the Taoist Slips."
The slip in Qin Qingyu's hand is two fingers wide and nearly a foot long. It is dark yellow in color because of the blessing of Taoist rhyme.
She handed the brief film to Huo Qubing: "Huo Hou, would you like to see it?"
Taoist Li Er, also known as Lao Tzu's hand scroll, is a truly deified figure in five thousand years of history.
Huo Qubing was not exempt from vulgarity, so he took it over and looked at it.
The carriage was quiet, filled with a faint fragrance, like the combination of gardenia and orchid, light but not charming, and very nice.
Liu Qing sat side by side in the car, opened the car curtain, and let the silvery moonlight shine in. Her delicate face shone like white jade.
The simple piece has been blessed by Taoist rhyme, and its texture has changed, like a piece of black and yellow ancient jade, with a warm touch.
It is very comfortable to hold in your hand and has a calming effect.
"A person who is good at being a soldier does not use force; a person who is good at fighting does not get angry; a person who is good at defeating the enemy does not fight; a person who is good at using people does not fight. This is called the virtue of not fighting...
There is a saying about using troops: it means that there is no action in action; there is no arm in fighting; there is no enemy in throwing; there is no soldier in holding. There is no greater disaster than underestimating the enemy, and underestimating the enemy will cost us our treasure..."
This is a short section of the Tao Te Ching recorded on the slip. It is written in ancient seal script from the Spring and Autumn Period. It is written in a free and natural way, with an indescribable meaning.
"Tao Te Ching" talks about self-cultivation, governance, military use, and health preservation.
By using it in practice, you can also observe the Dharma from the middle and experience the mentality, philosophy, and cognition of Taoist ancestors, which is helpful to all schools of thought.
Some of the sentences talked about military affairs. Huo Qubing's eyes fell on them, and he could hear an ancient and righteous voice reciting in his consciousness, reciting the contents of the Taoist scroll, like Hong Zhong Da Lu, which was deafening. p>
The simple piece flickered slightly, and the fonts moved around, showing a strange change like a formation of troops.
"If you practice any kind of practice, you can see the corresponding content on this scroll... It is indeed a magical thing."
Huo Qubing thought about it for a moment, then handed the slip to Qin Qingyu without any hesitation.
Qin Qingyu's expression became gentler and she said with a smile: "If Huo Hou wants to understand this slip, he can just read it for a while."
"No, it's not easy to seek something with determination.
If you reach the top of military affairs, you may not have a chance to compete with the Taoist ancestors."
Huo Qubing's words are plain, but he has hidden ambitions and agitated spirits.
It will inevitably sound arrogant to others.
Qin Qingyu and Liu Qing had completely different feelings, especially when they had just seen his military prowess in mobilizing sixty forbidden troops not long ago.
Listening to him now say that he hopes to go further in the military, it feels logical, otherwise it feels like a waste of talent.
Qin Qingyu took out the elixir bottle that was given to Huo Qubing last time. It was a pill bottle that the ancient divine turtle came from the East China Sea and listened to the Taoist ancestors to sacrifice the spirit pearls and refine it into medicine.
This time Huo Qubing did not refuse and accepted it calmly.
Qin Qingyu was able to get back a Taoist ancestor slip with a lot of help from him. Never accepting a gift in return means that someone owes you a favor, which is even worse.
Huo Qubing accepted the elixir bottle, left the car, and calmly climbed onto the horseback of Jin An who was following the carriage.
In the carriage, Liu Qing opened the curtain and looked around, and could just see his back on the horse.
A silver-helmeted horse with a back as straight as a war spear.
In the car, Qin Qingyu smiled, took out a piece of ancient jade and said:
"Junior Brother Qingyang, I may have found someone who can restore the power of the five-army formation map left behind by Shanmen."
Qingyang is the Taoist name of the contemporary Taoist Master.
"Senior sister is in Chang'an? Who is it?" The ancient jade glowed slightly, and a cold and calm voice came out.
……
Chang'an Guards Command Camp, everyone dispersed to do their own business after returning.
The buildings in the Han Dynasty were grand in area, made of huge trees as beams and pillars, square in shape, and decorated with colorful patterns and symbols, making them as magnificent as a fairy palace.
Huo Qubing came to the main hall, which stretched ten feet across, and took a seat in the center. The light from the lamp hanging on the beam fell on his face, and the light and dark were intertwined, making him look extremely cold.
After he sat down, he thought for a while and took out the scrolls and waist pouches collected from the two prisoners.
There is a round jade plate inside the waist pouch.
Huo Qubing was thinking about this jade tablet. When he destroyed the Zonghengdao, he also found one on the master of the Zonghengdao, but he never knew its function.
Now a second piece of it was found on the old man who was burned to death by green flames.
Huo Qubing carefully compared the two jade slabs and found that the shape and quality were almost the same, but the texture in the middle was different.
Is this some kind of status symbol thing?
Huo Qubing looked at it for a while and then put the jade plate away again.
Outside the hall, Song Ran and Xiao Ying walked in from the left and from the right.
"Did you get the things?"
"This is the list of concubines Huo Hou wants to visit in the past six months, either in the palace or in his hometown."
Song Ran handed a scroll to Huo Qubing.
In her mind, she couldn't help but remember the scene when she went to the Secret Investigation Institute to pick up these records, and reported to Ru Bohu on tonight's trip.
A quarter of an hour ago, she met Ru Bohu in the tower of the secret inner courtyard and told Huo Qubing that he wanted to check the records of the concubines in the inner palace who came in and out of the palace or visited relatives. Ru Bohu actually raised his hand and turned the bamboo slips he was looking at
Hand it over.
"The champion also wants to check this thing?" Ru Bohu asked with a smile.
Song Ran took it in his hand blankly, feeling deeply the pain of having his intelligence crushed.
Because she couldn't figure out what the relationship between the two of them checking the records of concubines entering and leaving the palace had with the current situation?
What’s the use of reading this?
The current Emperor Liu Che of the Han Dynasty had more than ten levels of concubines in the palace. Counting all of them, there were hundreds of them.
Emperor Wu's vigorous energy was even recorded in the history books of later generations.
But there were only dozens of concubines who were truly favored by him.
There are detailed records of these concubines entering and leaving the palace, visiting relatives and returning home, etc.
Huo Qubing took it, lowered his head and read it carefully.
Song Ran was diagonally behind him, seeing Huo Qubing watching and writing down some information.
About half an hour later, Huo Qubing said to Xiao Ying and Song Ran behind him: "You should all go and have a rest. There are still things to do tomorrow. I won't be free for at least five or six days."
The two agreed and stepped back.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!
After leaving the door, Song Ran asked in a low voice:
"Xiao Ying, what is the purpose of Marquis Huo asking for the records of his concubines? Do you understand?"
Xiao Ying immediately asked: "Do you understand?"
The two of them realized at the same time that the other person didn't understand as much as they did.
Song Ran secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and Xiao Ying also secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
In this case, it's nice to have a companion...
I shouldn't be the one at the bottom... We both have the same idea, and we are both happy and a little sad.
After they left, the main hall of the guard was completely quiet. Except for the guards on duty at the door, only the flames on the lamps were swaying.
Huo Qubing closed his eyes lightly in the hall, maintained the posture of Vajrasana, and entered into the state of cultivating to warm up the qi in the body.
It is worth mentioning that Dong Zhongshu had agreed to stay at the Chang'an Guards Command Post for a few days and also found a quiet room in the back hall to rest.
When Huo Qubing closed his eyes, his thoughts sank into the sea of consciousness.
He knows the Xuanwu in the sea. Ever since he wandered into the wellhead, it seems that a new door to practice has been opened. Now he can freely enter and exit the wellhead, breathing in the aura escaping from the well, that is, the magnificent sea of fog and energy.
Growth is rapid.
The military energy gained from Huo Qubing's internal cultivation surges like a vast sea.
After the military realm, there are also small realms in every big realm.
For example, the military talisman is a large realm, which is subdivided into three small levels, corresponding to the different stages of use of the military talisman.
Although Huo Qubing crossed over to the Soldier Talisman Realm not long ago, the combination of Soaring Snake and Spirit Turtle formed Xuanwu, and he advanced by leaps and bounds.
He broke through the realm only ten months ago, but he has surpassed the level of the first soldier talisman and has reached the second stage of the internal realm of the soldier talisman.
Of course, with his talent and knowledge of overseas affairs, his own strength is not completely bound by his realm.
At this moment, he practiced again and found that in the sea of consciousness, Xuanwu breathed out aura from the well, and the elixir formed between his eyebrows shone brightly.
Huo Qubing promoted the circulation of power in his body for several weeks, and then took out the pill bottle given by Qin Qingyu.
There is a sound of tide rising and falling in the bottle, as if there is an ocean sealed in the bottle.
A virtual image of a turtle carrying a huge mountain on its back swam out from the bottle after opening it, and appeared in the void in front of Huo Qubing.
This elixir has already formed its elixir phase, so that this wonder can be achieved.
This is a phenomenon only seen when elixirs have reached their peak. As soon as they appeared, the hall not only became as bright as day, but also filled with a strange fragrance.
The so-called elixir is an elixir that transcends the ordinary.
The materials that the world has access to cannot produce elixirs of this level at all, so it can be called a panacea and have its own spirituality.
On top of the elixir, it is said that there are golden elixirs and even elixirs, which are rare in the world.
Huo Qubing thought that if the aura inside the wellhead of the Consciousness Sea could be used to refine medicine, the effect would probably be very good.
He stretched out his hand to guide Xuanwu in the sea of consciousness and raised his neck.
The next moment, the spiritual elixir turned into a wisp of light, imprinted on his eyebrows like a small sun, flashed several times and then disappeared into his sea of consciousness.
Boom!
Tidal sound waves, the sound of rising and falling tides filled the hall.
Huo Qubing's internal energy was released, extremely powerful.
The attributes of Consciousness Sea and Xuanwu Swallowing Pill are very consistent, and the effect is surprisingly good.
At the same time, in his magical power pocket, the newly acquired Overlord Halberd interacted with Qi and flew out of the air on its own, buzzing and flickering, and the clear brilliance flickered.
