Red Mansion Taoist

Chapter 13 Secret Method
  "Yangong Bingshu 2" talks about marching and setting up camp, "Yangong Bingshu 3" talks about logistical support, and "Yangong Bingshu 4" talks about weapons, including the production of various weapons, including a super-large slingshot machines, as well as various siege machines.

Although the pictures are a bit ugly, there are a series of numerical annotations that make it possible to use the materials to make these weapons and equipment as long as you follow the instructions in the book.

"Yan Gong Bing Shu V" talks about skills, including the skills of generals and soldiers. From the most common spears, axes, spears, etc., to close-up swords, and long-range bows and arrows, there are corresponding skills.

The skills of a soldier are simpler and easier to learn than the skills of a general, and they also pay more attention to coordination. Combining military formations can bring out super powerful power.

The subsequent "Yangong Bingshu 6" to "Yangong Bingshu Eleven" are all battle examples, recording battles one after another. They are also written with ugly illustrations, but they are understandable.

How could Jia Qiang not know that this was written by Jia Yan, the first Duke of Ningguo Mansion.

Jia played a military general, but he spent a lot of effort and wanted to leave his military skills to future generations.

But look at this set of "Yangong Bingshu" to see how it has been valued by the descendants of Ning Guofu.

After Jia Jing became a monk, this set of "Book of Acting on Military Affairs" was left here casually without anyone taking care of it.

In this era, the value of military books is immeasurable, because it can only be obtained through the inheritance of generals, and other methods cannot even be accessed.

The royal family has extremely strict control over military books, which are powerful weapons that can shake the country's foundation.

Without the inheritance of military art, even a hundred thousand troops would not be able to withstand the impact of a well-trained army of ten thousand people.

It can't even manage an army of 100,000 people. Self-depletion is enough to cause an army of 100,000 people to collapse on its own.

Jia Qiang hesitated for a moment and put the eleven copies of "The Book of Acting on the Army" into the inventory. Now that this set of "The Book of Acting on the Army" was in his hands, he would not give it back.

And he planned to use some time to study the "Book of Military Commanding". This knowledge of military command might be useful someday.

Under "Yan Gong Bing Shu", there is another book made of the same silk, but the cover of this silk book is blank.

Jia Qiang picked up this silk book. The silk book was very light. It seemed that there were not many pages in the book. Unlike the previous "Yan Gong Bing Shu", each volume was a tome.

He opened the silk book and saw the same painting technique as in "The Book of Acting Soldiers". On the first page, there was an outline of a person with thin lines drawn on it.

After reading the small print of the annotation below, he knew what it was.

This is a general's body-refining technique called 'Jia's Hundred Turns Refining Technique'. As he flipped through the pages, the mysterious general's body-refining technique unfolded for him.

After reading the entire "Jia's Hundred Turns Refining Technique", he couldn't help but take a breath and finally understood why no one in the Jia family practiced the general body refining technique.

This general's body refining technique requires taking a specially prepared medicinal soup before practicing, and after finishing the body refining technique, you also need to take more precious medicine.

This 'Jia's Hundred Turns Refinement Technique' is extremely painful during the practice. According to the actor's description, it is as painful as cramps and skin peeling, and each practice requires six hours.

This kind of pain is simply not something that ordinary people can bear. If you faint or have any abnormal movements during the practice, all your previous efforts will be wasted and your body may even be harmed.

This is not enough just once. According to the records of the 'Jia's Hundred Turns Refining Technique', one practice can increase the strength by two hundred kilograms.

Generally speaking, if you want to be far superior to ordinary people, you need to practice at least three times. This was also the minimum standard for becoming a general in the army.

Back then, Yan Gong practiced six times before he achieved an unparalleled performance.

Of course, even if one can withstand such pain, the medicinal materials consumed are not so easy to obtain. The more skillful a general's body refining technique is, the more precious the medicinal materials required.

'Jia's Hundred Turns Refining Technique', a general body refining technique that can increase two hundred kilograms of strength at a time, is the top technique among general body refining techniques.

This makes the medicinal materials required for the 'Jia's Hundred Turns Refining Technique' even more precious, and some medicinal materials are even hard to find.

Jia Qiang discovered that although the ingredients of the medicinal soup she had taken before practicing the 'Jia's Hundred Turns Refining Technique' were precious, they could still be obtained through purchase.

However, some of the main ingredients of the recovery elixir for practicing 'Jia's Hundred Turns Refining Technique' make people despair just by listening to them.

500-year-old ginseng, 100-year-old dendrobium, 100-year-old Ganoderma lucidum, etc. Even the ingredients in the ingredients are extremely valuable. No wonder this medicinal decoction for repairing the body is called treasure medicine in the 'Jia's Hundred Turns Refining Technique'. It's not without reason.

The five-hundred-year-old ginseng in the treasure medicine requires the whole plant. The five-hundred-year-old ginseng is a life-saving thing. Even if it is placed in the palace, it is an extremely rare treasure.

The reason why Jia Yangong was able to practice six times in those days was because the world was in chaos at that time. Yangong fought everywhere and obtained a lot of trophies, including the precious medicine needed for the 'Jia's Hundred Turns Refining Technique'.

In peaceful times, even if such treasures existed, they would have been stored in a wealthy family and no one would sell them.

This is probably one of the reasons why the Jia family has no more generals. It is really difficult to obtain the precious medicine, and even if it is obtained, the cost is too high.

Jia Qiang looked at the 'Jia's Hundred-Turn Refining Technique' in his hand, and his heart was racing. He had just seen the terrifying power of General Zuo Shen before, and knew the existence of the general's body refining technique. He did not expect that the Jia family's general refining technique The art of body is in your own hands.

For the pain, he could grit his teeth to support it, but he had no way of obtaining the required medicinal materials, especially the last precious medicine.

He only had two thousand taels of silver at his disposal. Even if he had a rouge shop, it was hard to say whether he could buy even one strand of 500-year-old ginseng.

Even if he takes the risk of being discovered and uses the wealth in his inventory, there is no place where he can purchase precious medicines like Five Hundred Years Ginseng.

"If the healing technique can replace the recovery medicine, wouldn't it be possible to practice the 'Jia's Hundred Turns Refining Technique'!" Jia Qiang suddenly thought of her game interface and had a bold idea.

He looked at the 'Jia's Hundred Turns Refining Technique' carefully and confirmed the effect of the medicine.

In the process of practicing 'Jia's Hundred Turns Refining Technique', every part of the body will be damaged.

If you don't use the precious medicine, you will either die suddenly on the spot, or you will be left with hidden dangers that cannot be eradicated, and you will be bedridden all year round.

The most important thing now is to test the effect of the healing technique.

"Master, the food is ready!" Jade's voice came, interrupting Jia Qiang's thinking.

Jia Qiang walked out of the study and sat down at the table.

Jia Qiang slept very late today. He was reading "The Book of Acting on Military Affairs" and waiting for the arrival of midnight.

Finally, when midnight arrived, he felt something in his heart and opened the game panel.

The game panel shows that the mana has been restored from 18 points to 20 points. It seems that the recovery of this mana requires an hour every day to restore the full value.

This result made his long-standing worries disappear. As long as he can restore his mana, this 'Healing Technique [Elementary]' can be used normally.

When his mood improved, he took out the 'Jia's Hundred-turn Refinement Technique' again. This time he read the 'Jia's Hundred-Turn Refinement Technique' very seriously.

In fact, even if his mana cannot be restored, he will still practice this 'Jia's Hundred-turn Refinement Technique', but in that case his requirements for himself will be reduced a lot, as long as he can have a little self-protection power.

Now, he has greater ambitions. He wants to try two paths at the same time, one literary and one military.

The status of literati is very high, which can be seen from the fact that Jia Zheng regards himself as a literati every day.

Although the status of warriors is lower than that of literati, warriors have strong bodies and strong fighting power, which Jia Qiang is extremely eager for.

Early the next morning, Jia Qiang got up with Jade's help.

"Lao Shun Tou, go out!" Jia Qiang didn't care what Jade was thinking. He came to the outer courtyard and ordered Lao Shun Tou.

Lao Shuntou prepared a carriage and drove Jia Qiang out of the yard.

This is the only bad thing about her body. She is too young, which makes Jia Qiang afraid to go out alone.

Although Kyoto was at the feet of the emperor, there were many interactions, and he didn't want to be captured by a showman.
