Turbulent Times Chapter 27: The secret of the warrior

Wu San holds the knife with one hand, and puts on a strange starting posture, like a wolf about to indulge in humans.

"Adults please!"

Wang Junlin was not polite, shouted, stepped forward, and slashed at Wu San with a horizontal knife in his hand. This knife was very simple and there was no extra move. It was the knife used by mercenaries and killers of later generations. characteristics of a person. It is also the characteristic of Wang Junlin's fighting and killing skills practiced in later generations.

"Well done!"

Wu San is a man of knowledge, he sincerely admired him, and didn't dodge, slashing with his knife seemingly casually.

With a clang sound, sparks splashed everywhere, and the two knives collided together. Wang Junlin's arms were numb from the shock, and he staggered back three or four steps, almost dropping the knife in his hand, while Wu San only took a step back.

Wu San is an honest man, Wang Junlin said he wouldn't let him keep his hand, except that he wouldn't hurt Wang Junlin, he really didn't hold back his hand at all, before Wang Junlin retracted his knife and stood still, Wu San made another slash with his backhand Come, the angle was tricky, as fast as lightning, Wang Junlin hurriedly swung the saber to block it, when the two sabers collided again, Wang Junlin found that Wu San's strength had increased by more than twice in an instant, he couldn't hold back anymore, and the horizontal saber in his hand dropped When he came out, he even sat down on the ground.

"I lost!"

Wang Junlin was a little depressed. He thought that no matter what, he could fight Wu San for forty or fifty rounds before losing. He didn't expect to lose after two moves. But except for a surprise attack, it is still impossible to defeat Wu San.

Wu San and Wu Si stepped forward to help Wang Junlin up, and said with a puzzled look: "My lord has never had a foundation?"

Wang Junlin was stunned for a moment and said, "What is Foundation Establishment?"

Wu San and Wu Si looked at each other, and the former said: "My lord has such strength without building a foundation, which is actually extremely rare in this world, and it is not weaker than some warriors who have built a foundation."

"Hurry up and tell me what is foundation building?" Wang Junlin's eyes lit up, and he realized that he had finally uncovered the secret of warrior cultivation in this world.

Wu San thought for a while before saying: "Your Excellency, you know that some strong generals in the army can lift five hundred catties, and the weapons they use are forty to fifty catties."

Wang Junlin said: "I heard that Pei Yuanqing can lift five hundred catties, and his pair of silver hammers weighs forty-eight catties."

Wu San interjected: "Your Excellency, do you know that Governor Yu Dadu could lift a thousand catties when he was young, but now he can lift eight hundred catties when he is old, and his horse spear weighs even eighty-three catties."

Wang Junlin nodded. He had heard about these things from Zhou Hu and others. He had always found it hard to understand that a person could lift a thousand catties. He believed that there were indeed freaks with natural powers in the world For example, Li Yuan's son, Li Shimin's younger brother Li Yuanba, who should have been born according to the time, is said to be born with supernatural power. But now at least four or five of these characters can be picked out of the Great Sui Army, which is obviously not born.

Wu Si, who had been silent all this time, also interjected: "The governor of Yu Dadu has an apprentice named Yuwen Chengdu. It is said that he once lifted a stone lion weighing 1,200 catties, and his weapon weighed 100 catties." /

"You mean to say that anyone whose strength is greater than ordinary people has done the foundation building you just mentioned." Wang Junlin sighed in his heart, Yuwen Chengdu's name is well-known even in later generations, how could he not know it.

Wu San nodded, shook his head again, and said: "Not only foundation building, but also hard training of martial arts, in extreme environments, stimulating physical energy again and again..."

After some explanations from Wu San and Wu Si, Wang Junlin finally understood how the martial arts of the world's masters were trained. Exercise your body, and then insist on exercising your body every day. When you grow up, your strength and speed will far exceed ordinary people, and you can maximize your potential.

So the fathers of those fierce generals are also generals, like Qin Qiong, Pei Yuanqing, and Li Jing in this period, their fathers are all generals, only they have the formula of the secret medicine in their hands, they also know the method of building a foundation, and know how To train his sons, he used special methods to transform their muscles and bones since childhood.

This also proves why those soldiers are far weaker than the general, because almost all the soldiers in this era are from ordinary peasants. Those who know how to build a foundation don't have enough financial support, and they can't build a foundation either.

So, ordinary soldiers can only exercise their bodies after they reach adulthood, try to be as strong as possible, and then learn to practice their weapon moves. Just like what Wu San and Wu Si said, among these people, those who can reach Wang Junlin's strength are rare , Under normal circumstances, you will never become a general.

In addition, because each family or military commander has different foundation building methods and secret medicine formulas, they are also divided into high, middle and low levels. Suffering is different, etc. When all factors are combined, the generals who have also established foundations naturally have high and low strengths. Formidable ones like Yujuluo and Yuwen Chengdu are one against a hundred. The weaker ones can't even beat Wang Junlin. .

According to what Wu San and Wu Si said, the Dugu family selects ten orphans for foundation building every year, but the secret medicine used is different from that used by the direct descendants of the Dugu family. In order to practice martial arts in ice water and so on, only four of the ten people in Wu San and Wu Si survived, and they were named Wu Yi, Wu Er, Wu San and Wu Si respectively.

This is the money that the Dugu family has. According to Wu San, it took them ten years to build the foundation from the age of five to fifteen, and the annual consumption of property is enough for an ordinary family to live for ten years.

Of course, even though Wu San and Wu Si knew the method and procedure of foundation building, because they didn't know the ingredients of the secret medicine they ate and the liquid they brewed, they also couldn't build a foundation.

Wu Si said that a general was ordered to be executed last year, but before he died, he presented the formula of the foundation-building secret medicine to the emperor, and the formula was of an extremely advanced type, so the emperor ordered his life to be spared and distributed to the frontier , a lifelong slave.

After letting Wu San and Wu Si leave, Wang Junlin thought carefully about what the Wu family brothers said for a while. He was very disappointed that he had already passed the age of foundation establishment, but at the same time he felt that something was wrong.

According to what the two said, this world does not have the profound internal strength mentioned in later martial arts novels, but what happened that night when I saw King Boduo and the Taoist priest with their light body skills and ghostly speed? ?

Wu San and Wu Si are just dead soldiers of a lonely family after all, it is rare to know about the establishment of the foundation, some more advanced secrets, perhaps only people at the level of Yu Juluo know.

Thinking of this, Wang Junlin took out the roll of animal skin he got from the sarcophagus and began to study it again. He hoped that what was written on this roll of animal skin would be some powerful internal skills. After all, the body that was in the same sarcophagus as him at that time was a Taoist priest, and the one who fought with King Bo Duo that night was also a Taoist priest.

"Huh! Speaking of which, the clothes worn by the Taoist priest and the corpse in the sarcophagus that night really looked alike. Could it be that they were from the same sect? By the way, that guy said he was looking for someone that night, so he probably wasn't looking for Dugu Moyu. He came here, listen to his tone, and he didn’t come to look for King Boduo. Could it be... he came to look for himself, his purpose was this roll of animal skin and this piece of blood jade.” These days Wang Junlin has been thinking about fighting and getting promoted , calm down at this moment, and finally reflected the strangeness.

"It seems that the things written on this roll of animal skin are very important, and the blood jade is indeed extremely important. We must find someone who can understand the writing on the animal skin as soon as possible." Wang Junlin muttered to himself.

After thinking about it for a while, Wang Junlin decided to copy down the words on the animal skin first, and he was so smart that he deliberately messed up the order of copying. In this way, whenever he met someone who might know the words, he could ask them anytime.

…

Because people and cattle and sheep have to drink water, and water sources are not easy to find on the Gobi grassland, the Turkic food and grass transport teams move as close to the Wenfeng River as possible, and with the trampling of people and horses these days, from the Turkic The logistics camp has already embarked on a road to Jincheng County.

On this road, there will be at least one grain transportation team every day driving tens of thousands of cattle and sheep to the south and sending them to the Turkic Camp in Jincheng County. A day's journey, that is, sixty or seventy miles, there is a mighty team of cattle and sheep.

When the sun was the hottest at noon that day, more than 100 miles away from the Turkic logistics camp by the Wenfeng River, 500 Turkic cavalry were dismounting to rest and eat, and 50,000 cattle and sheep were driven by more than 100 herdsmen. The next day they gathered at the riverside to drink water. There was no shade under the sun. After driving for almost two days, the five hundred cavalrymen and one hundred herdsmen were a little tired. Many of them lay directly on the grassland and fell asleep. There were also cavalrymen who carried one of the few dozen women among the herdsmen to perform that blissful thing in the grass in the distance.

In short, because this is not the territory of the Sui Dynasty, they are not very vigilant, and the five hundred cavalry are actually mainly guarding against wild wolves.

However, at this moment, a row of small black spots suddenly appeared on the top of the short mountain in the distance. These black spots rushed down the hillside at an extremely fast speed and rushed towards this side. A large group of black dots gushed out. This was a regiment of cavalry from the Sui Dynasty, and a thousand elite cavalry.

The fierce sound of horseshoes alarmed the Turkic soldiers and herdsmen lying on the grass in an instant. Those who were not asleep jumped up immediately, shouting, and ran towards their horses. He paused a bit later, and it took three or four breaths before he got up and ran towards his horse in panic. More than a hundred herdsmen desperately gathered their cattle and sheep and moved closer to the cavalry. It's just that they were too hasty.
