I practiced magic in the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 45 How can you sleep at your age?

The cook only took one look at the fresh mutton and couldn't help drooling. He approached Wang Jing with a flattering smile and said, "Captain, just give me the mutton. I will definitely prepare it for you."

"Okay, how can I not know what you are thinking? You can take your people to prepare these two thousand pounds of meat on the spot, and then you can go and cut ten pounds of sheep offal, and then take three to five pounds of meat back to eat."

"Well, Captain, just watch me. I have no other skills, but when it comes to cooking mutton, I am definitely good at this!"

The cook gave a thumbs up and went to serve Wang Jing with a happy face.

"Come on, drink up!"

"Drink Sheng!"

With wine and meat, everyone in the cavalry camp was united, and amid laughter and joy, Yan Xing quickly became familiar with the soldiers around him.

When the wine was in high spirits, Wang Jing also talked to Yan Xing about the issue of treatment: "Yan Ming, please bear with it for a while and take the position of leader temporarily. After a while, I will be promoted to General of the North Central Army. At that time, you can choose the position of lieutenant of the five battalions of the Northern Army."

Yan Xing was deeply moved by such heartfelt words.

In the Yanhan Dynasty, a colonel was considered a mid- to high-level general. If one was not from an aristocratic family or a military family, one's hope of obtaining a position of this level would be extremely slim unless one had made great contributions to protecting the country.

As he had just arrived, Wang Jing promised him such an important position. Yan Xing immediately felt like dying for him. He burst into tears of gratitude and said, "How dare I expect a reward when I haven't done anything yet?"

"Haha, it's settled. If you want to make meritorious contributions, you'll have plenty of opportunities in the future."

Before Wang Jing could finish his words, an uninvited guest came to the Tunqi Camp.

"Captain, the Tiger Guards Lieutenant General is here to see you."

Wang Jing couldn't help but feel suspicious when he heard this: "Huh? What does Yuan Shu want to see me for?"

He had no friendship with Yuan Shu, and they had even had a conflict over the ownership of the Juque Sword. In the end, it was Yuan Shao who stepped in to calm the dispute.

Therefore, Wang Jing couldn't understand the purpose of Yuan Shu's visit.

"Forget it, let's meet."

Wang Jing immediately ordered: "Bring someone in."

"Yes."

The soldiers took the order and left. Soon Yuan Shu strode in front of Wang Jing with several followers. His arrogant posture really seemed to deserve a beating.

Wang Jing didn't pay too much attention to Yuan Shu, and his eyes were soon attracted by the burly man with a strong build and thick beard beside him.

This man has a calm aura and stands still like a mountain. He seems tough and steady, but his strong physique gives people a sense of fierceness and violence.

Seeing Wang Jing holding a grand banquet in the camp, Yuan Shu teased him, "The cavalry captain is in a good mood, but since it's a banquet, wouldn't it be a pity if no one dances with swords to liven up the atmosphere?"

Wang Jing knew that Yuan Shu was here to cause trouble, so he said coldly, "Yuan Gonglu, if you come here as a guest today, I don't mind adding a set of bowls and chopsticks, but if you come here to cause trouble, don't blame me for being rude."

"Captain of the Cavalry, please do not misunderstand me. I am here for only one purpose."

"What's the matter?"

Yuan Shu then signaled with his eyes, and the burly man beside him stood up in public, clasped his fists towards Wang Jing and said, "My name is Ji Ling. I heard that the Cavalry Captain inherited the Overlord Sword Intentions, and I admired it very much, so I came here to ask for swordsmanship."

"Be bold!"

"presumptuous!"

Before Wang Jing could even open his mouth, the soldiers in the army were already extremely angry. They were filled with righteous indignation and slammed the table.

"Who are you to challenge our captain?"

However, facing the excited soldiers of the Tunqi Battalion, Ji Ling did not retreat at all. Instead, he shouted in a deep voice: "Shout!"

The shout was like a lion's roar, blowing out a gust of wind, and the power of thought transformed into a majestic sword, sweeping in all directions, shocking the entire audience. It was actually an extremely sophisticated secret technique of sound attack.

At this moment, Ji Ling used sound as a medium to convey the sword's intent and shock the hearts and wills of the soldiers in the Tunqiying Camp.

Yuan Shu was extremely pleased when he saw this.

A few months ago, if Wang Jing had not intervened, the Juque sword in Jian Shuo's hand should have been his trophy.

Now that the Runan Yuan family's grand plan was about to succeed, and Wang Jing had once gone to Yuan Wei to ask for an official position, Yuan Shu thought that he had Wang Jing in his grasp and could not help but behave in a dissolute manner, wanting to reap the fruits of victory in advance.

Yuan Shu's plan at this time was to let Ji Ling teach Wang Jing a lesson first, and then ask for the Juque Sword.

For this reason, Yuan Shu secretly gathered a lot of information about Wang Jing. When he learned that Wang Jing was just a young man and had been practicing for less than a year, he was ecstatic.

Although he inherited the Overlord Sword Intent from Wang Jing and became famous throughout the world, he himself had never defeated any master alone. Therefore, Yuan Shu finally made a judgment. He believed that Wang Jing's cultivation was shallow and he was definitely not a match for Ji Ling.

Seeing that Wang Jing did not seem to be prepared to accept the challenge, Yuan Shu became more convinced of his previous judgment and then used the method of provoking him: "Is the cavalry captain afraid?"

Ji Ling, instructed by Yuan Shu, stood up again and challenged him, saying, "Captain of the Cavalry, I have been practicing swordsmanship since I was young, for more than 20 years, and I have finally made great achievements. It is said that at the end of the Qin Dynasty, Overlord Xiang Yu's swordsmanship was the best in the world. I wanted to go to Hulao Pass to see him, but I learned that Overlord's swordsmanship had been obtained by the captain, so I came here to seek advice."

As soon as he finished speaking, a powerful sword intent burst out from Ji Ling's body, soaring into the sky, with a strong and mighty aura, and unstoppable courage.

It was Fan Kuai's famous skill "Wei Ling Sword Technique" back then, and Ji Ling's strength had reached the fourth level of perfection in martial arts.

"Wei Ling Sword Technique" is mighty and domineering, as if a god has descended to the earth. Before the sword is unsheathed, the sword intent has already taken the lead.

Although Ji Ling's cultivation has not yet entered the fifth realm of martial arts and he is still unable to comprehend the mystery of the superb and magical skills, he is not far away.

He is over thirty years old and is now in the prime of his life. He has studied sword for more than twenty years and has a solid foundation, amazing cultivation, and extremely sophisticated sword skills.

More importantly, Ji Ling came from a family of generals and served under Yuan Shu. He had no shortage of skills and resources, and had already achieved great martial arts. He had no obvious weaknesses in his essence, energy, and spirit. Therefore, his strength was obviously a level higher than Zhang Feng and Wei Chen, whom Wang Jing had met before. Even though the three were at the same level, Ji Ling could still fight one against two and kill them with his sword at the cost of being injured.

Facing Ji Ling, if they really had to compete in swordsmanship, Wang Jing would not be completely sure of winning.

And with his status, if he really got into a fight with Ji Ling, even if he could win in the end, he would probably lose all his face.

Fortunately, Yan Xing stepped forward at this critical moment.

He stood tall, holding a spear in his hand, and angrily pointed at Ji Ling, shouting: "Who are you to challenge my master? Ask me about the spear in my hand first!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Yan Xing flew into the air and stabbed Ji Ling with a spear.

The spear broke through the air with a sharp sound, accompanied by the tiger roar from Yan Xing's mouth, with such momentum that it seemed like a mad dragon descending into the world.

And in the tiger roar of Yan Xing, there was a faint sound of thunder, cleansing people's souls, which was actually a secret art of sound attack.

"Tianlong Halberd Technique, Tiger and Leopard Thunder Sound? Well done!"

Ji Ling recognized the martial arts used by Yan Xing at a glance. When he swung the spear, he was like a flying dragon in the sky, with a powerful and domineering aura that shocked all directions. This was the famous skill of Li Yan, the "Jiang Kuang", one of the four masters of martial arts.

As for the tiger roar that came out of Yan Xing's mouth, it was the bone-strengthening secret technique "Tiger and Leopard Thunder Sound" created by Fei Lian and his son E Lai, two important officials of the Shang Dynasty during the Three Dynasties.

This secret art was lost for a time after King Wu defeated King Zhou, and was not seen again until Qin Fuzi conquered the Western Rong and established the Qin State. It was later used by Shang Yang to train the Qin elite soldiers, and from then on it became widely spread in the Guanzhong area.

"The Thundering Sound of Tigers and Leopards" is divided into two parts: "Tiger Roar" and "Leopard Roar". The former has a sudden increase in power and a mighty momentum, while the latter is as fast as lightning and has countless changes.

Knowing that the newcomer was very powerful, Ji Ling did not dare to be careless and immediately attacked with all his strength.

Ji Ling took a deep breath, his entire chest bulged, and then he exhaled like thunder: "Zha!"

Thunder roared suddenly out of nowhere, angrily exploding. Within thirty feet, everyone's eardrums felt a piercing pain. Those with weaker skills were already shaken to the point of having their hearts shaken and their blood circulation disordered.

At the moment when his momentum reached its peak, Ji Ling also drew his sword out of its sheath with the same force as Song Hua!
Fan Kuai's famous skill "Wei Ling Sword Technique" is not only a sword technique, but also a secret art of sound attack. When he draws the sword, he uses the two qi of "chi" and "zha". The "chi" qi calls out the wind, and the "zha" qi calls out the thunder. When the sword is drawn, the wind and thunder follow, and the power is naturally irresistible.

Dang~
The moment the sword and the spear collided, a huge wave of air was stirred up, and for a moment there was a howling wind and brilliant flames.

The giant sword in Ji Ling's hand is as steady as Mount Song and as dangerous as Mount Hua. It is firm and steady, yet full of dangerous and murderous intent.

Yan Xing thrust his spear continuously, as if a tiger descended from a mountain or a mad dragon shook a mountain. Every move and every style was full of vigor, and his fierce attacks were one wave stronger than the other, like rocks flying through the air and waves crashing against the shore.

Both of them were powerful generals, and their strength was evenly matched. After fighting for dozens of rounds, it was difficult to tell who was better. Everyone in the Tunqi Battalion was shocked by Yan Xing's powerful strength. Some people thought that he had been appointed as the leader as soon as he arrived. Although they didn't say it, they were very dissatisfied in their hearts.

Now that they saw Yan Xing take action, they realized how discerning Wang Jing was, and they were all convinced.

clang~ clang~ clang~
The two men fought three moves in a row, slashing with swords and stabbing with spears, going back and forth, and it was obvious that they were really angry.

If we continue to fight, we will be fighting for our lives.

Wang Jing had too few cards in his hand, so he naturally would not trade cards with Yuan Shu, the landlord's stupid son, so he directly ordered someone to fetch the Overlord Bow.

"Yanming, please step back."

"Ji Ling, take my three arrows!"

After shouting loudly, Wang Jing bent his bow and shot three arrows at Ji Ling without hesitation.

Locked by Wang Jing's spiritual power, Ji Ling's hair stood on end instantly and he drew his sword to defend himself.

Dang~
The first arrow hit him directly in the face.

Ji Ling raised his sword to block, but the sword was deflected and most of the force was removed. However, his palm was still numb and he was terrified.

Dang~
The second arrow goes straight to the chest cavity.

Ji Ling held the sword horizontally in front of him, and changed his moves in a hurry, so he had to use his hands to take the attack head-on. The violent force penetrated into his meridians along his arms, causing Ji Ling's blood to churn and his limbs to become sore.

Dang~
The third arrow goes straight to the lower abdomen.

Ji Ling was no longer able to defend himself at this point, and the sword in his hand flew out of his hand. He narrowly avoided the vital part of his abdomen, and the arrow head grazed his armor, sending sparks flying.

After shooting three arrows, Wang Jing did not continue to attack, but looked at Ji Ling coldly: "These three arrows are a lesson for your previous rude words. If I really want to kill you, I can take your life with one arrow. Do you believe it or not?"

At this moment, Ji Ling felt a chill in his heart. He instinctively felt that Wang Jing was telling the truth.

"Ling, thank you Captain for not killing me."

Yuan Shu was humiliated and gnashed his teeth: "Wang Yuanxu, why did you attack me from behind?"

Wang Jing looked at Yuan Shu with contempt and said sarcastically, "Didn't I warn him loudly just now? How can you blame me for his failure to catch these three arrows?"

"You! You're making up stories!"

"Heh~ Yuan Gonglu, I'm not going to argue with you because of the face of the Runan Yuan family. Otherwise, how could you come to my territory and act wildly? If you are not convinced, send someone to challenge me again. I promise that I will not hold back this time."

"you!"

Although Yuan Shu was angry, he saw that Ji Ling had suffered internal injuries. Apart from Ji Ling, none of his generals could defeat Yan Xing. If he continued to fight, he would only bring humiliation upon himself.

"Hmph, let's go!"

"Haha, take care. I won't see you off."

Wang Jing watched Yuan Shu leave, and then continued to welcome Yan Xing: "This time, Yan Ming helped me save some face."

"My Lord, why do you say that? It is said that if the master humiliates the servant, he will die. Today's matter is nothing more than my responsibility."

After a fierce battle, Yan Xing also felt quite satisfied.

Just now, when he fought with Ji Ling, although the two of them used different weapons, their moves were very similar. They both focused on the burst of power, and both had corresponding sound attack secrets. As a result, he benefited a lot from this battle and had a deeper understanding of "Tianlong Jifa" and "Tiger Leopard Thunder Sound".

Wang Jing smiled and praised Yan Xing a few words: "I never thought that Yan Ming is the successor of the 'Ji Kuang'. He is proficient in the Tianlong Ji method. He is so brave in foot combat. If he fights on horseback, wouldn't his power be three times stronger?"

Speaking of learning from Li Yan, Yan Xing couldn't help but sigh: "Alas, Master's martial arts realm has reached the pinnacle, and I can't even reach one-tenth of it. To be honest, I haven't learned the "Tianlong Halberd Method" in full. When Master passed by Jincheng, he only accepted me as a nominal disciple and taught me three moves."

"Yan Ming, why do you underestimate yourself? To be favored by Ji Kuang, you must have extraordinary talent in martial arts. Otherwise, you wouldn't have been able to cultivate Tiger Leopard Thunder Sound to the great perfection. Although this martial art is widely spread, it is famous for being easy to learn but difficult to master. Throughout history, there are very few people who can enter the fourth realm with this skill."

To practice Tiger and Leopard Thunder Sound, one must first master the secret breathing technique of this practice, and then breathe in and out, using the thunder sound as a hammer to forge and temper the bones throughout the body. One must practice asceticism every day without interruption, and do this for more than ten years before achieving success.

Without sufficient qualifications, perseverance and wisdom, it is simply impossible to cultivate "Tiger Leopard Thunder Sound" to the perfect state and become a first-class master.

But Yan Xing did it. If he had not come from a humble background, with his ability, he would have been more than qualified to be a captain.

Yan Xing had made great contributions, so naturally he had to be rewarded. Wang Jingzhong appointed him as the head of the garrison.

Although the position of tunzhang is only one level higher than that of duilu, he is a full-fledged court official and can receive an annual salary of 200 dan.

"Thank you, Lord!"

Yan Xing was also filled with joy.

Although the position of village chief was not high, it was enough to prove that Wang Jing really would reward those who had made contributions. Yan Xing suddenly felt that his life had hope.

It was three o'clock in the morning, the night was deep and quiet, and everything was silent.

When Wang Jing was sleeping soundly, a colorful butterfly flew into his dream. What’s more, this butterfly could talk.

"Go up to the west gate, Pingleguan, come quickly."

Wang Jing suddenly opened his eyes, climbed up helplessly with a bit of tiredness, displayed the Six Wings Riding the Wind skill, climbed over the city wall and headed for Pingleguan in the west of the city.

Outside the Upper West Gate, there is a majestic and magnificent Taoist temple, which is Pingle Temple.

A year ago, Emperor Lingdi built a large altar here, erected a twelve-layer five-colored canopy, and lined up tens of thousands of armored knights for a military parade. Emperor Lingdi, as the Son of Heaven, personally wore armor, called himself the Supreme General, and marched three times before returning.

Wang Jing walked with optimism, and saw under the night sky, there were dragons and birds coiling around, and a celestial horse half a meter high.

When I got closer, I saw that it was a statue of an ancient fairy bird with a deer body, a head like a bird, horns, a snake tail, and leopard patterns.

The bronze statue is made of a unique material and has been refined with the power of incense and vows. It stands in front of Pingle Temple. After opening the Dharma Eye, Wang Jing's sight is suddenly filled with brilliant light, dazzling and extremely bright.

Just as Wang Jing was in a daze, Tian Si's figure appeared with the wind. Facing the bronze statue, he said in a calm tone, "This is the immortal bird Fei Lian, which can bring about wind and rain. The ancients cast its image with fine gold. In the fifth year of Emperor Ming's Yongping reign, Fei Lian and the bronze horse were brought from Chang'an and placed in Pingleguan outside the Upper West Gate."

"Tian Si invited me here late at night, but he didn't invite me here to chat, did he?"

Wang Jing's sweet dream was disturbed, so he was naturally in a bad mood.

"How can you sleep well at such a young age?"

Tian Si said a few words casually, then sent out a divine thought which penetrated into Wang Jing's forehead.

Wang Jing was startled, then he checked carefully and found that what Tian Si gave him was a new martial art called "White Ape Swordsmanship".

Tian Si then began to warn, “Although the Tiger Guards Breaking Formation Blade and the Yu Lin Breaking Sky Sword are powerful, they need the Mountain and River State Map to exert their full power. Once the great strife begins, dragons and snakes will rise from the land, and the power of these two formations will inevitably be greatly reduced.”

Wang Jing was shocked when he learned about this. He had been training his troops frantically recently, hoping to use the Yulin Duankong Sword to unleash its power.

But now Tian Si actually told him that this formation had flaws?
For a moment, Wang Jing felt overwhelmed.

"May I ask Tiansi, how powerful is this "White Ape Sword Technique"?"

Tian Si was speechless after hearing this and said, "You are still being picky, kid? During the Spring and Autumn Period, the White Ape Sword Technique was the 'National Divine Sword' of the Yue Kingdom. It not only includes sword skills, but also covers the art of combined attack in military formations. It is a superior method of training soldiers left by the Yue woman Ah Qing."

"Ah Qing, the Vietnamese girl?"

Wang Jing was shocked, he had also heard of this person's legend.

Tian Si nodded, "The Yue girl was extremely talented and had a divine sword. She once used bamboo as a sword and defeated all the famous sword masters in the world at that time, and was dubbed the 'Heavenly Sword' by the world. And this 'White Ape Sword Technique', it is said that it was won by Ah Qing after she defeated the divine beast White Ape in a sword fight. Later, at the request of Fan Li, Ah Qing passed the White Ape Sword Technique to the soldiers of the Yue Kingdom, which made the Yue Kingdom's sword formation famous and allowed Gou Jian to dominate China and dominate the Central Plains."

Tian Si then pointed out a few key points to Wang Jing: "The White Ape Sword Art is divided into two parts: 'Sword Skills' and 'Ape Howls'. Sword skills can kill enemies, while ape howls can break armies. After mastering it, not only will you be able to draw your sword quickly, but you can also combine it with sound attack techniques, which may have miraculous effects in battle. Those in the enemy camp who are not determined may even lose their morale and become demoralized after hearing the ape howls."

After listening to Tian Si's description, Wang Jing couldn't help but have a strange look on his face.

Why does this "White Ape Swordsmanship" sound more and more like Chen Hegao's "Mad Dog Boxing" the more I listen to it?
During a war, a bunch of people are screaming and screaming, tens of thousands of them are mentally ill. It's normal for the other side to be scared crazy, right?
