Wu San held the sword in one hand and made a strange starting posture, like a vicious wolf ready to lust for people.
"My lord, please come first!"
Wang Junlin was not polite, shouted loudly, stepped forward, and struck Wu San sharply with the horizontal sword in his hand. This sword was extremely simple and simple, without any unnecessary moves. It was exactly what the mercenaries and killers of later generations used to use swords.
The characteristics are also the characteristics of the fighting and killing techniques that Wang Junlin practiced in later generations.
"Well done!"
Wu San was a man who knew what he was doing. He sincerely praised him and did not dodge. He swung his sword across the street seemingly casually.
There was a clang, there were sparks flying, and the two knives collided together. Wang Junlin was so shocked that his arms went numb, and he staggered back three or four steps. The knife in his hand almost came out, but Wu San just took a step back.
.
Wu San is an honest man. Wang Junlin said that he would not hold back his hands. In addition to not hurting Wang Junlin, he really did not hold back at all. Before Wang Junlin could put away his sword and stand firm, Wu San struck again with his backhand. The angle
Tricky and as fast as lightning, Wang Junlin hurriedly waved his knife to block it. When the two knives collided again, Wang Junlin found that Wu San's strength had more than doubled in an instant. He could no longer resist, and the horizontal knife in his hand was released.
He even sat down on the ground.
"I lost!"
Wang Junlin was a little depressed. He thought that he could fight Wu San for forty or fifty rounds before losing. Unexpectedly, he lost in two moves. Of course, if it was a life and death fight, he could not go head-on and deal with it for a while, but in addition to being caught by surprise,
A sneak attack, it is still impossible to defeat Wu San.
Wu San and Wu Si stepped forward to help Wang Junlin up, and said with puzzled faces: "Your Excellency, you have never built a foundation before?"
Wang Junlin was stunned for a moment and said, "What is foundation building?"
Wu San and Wu Si looked at each other, and the former said: "Sir, you can have such a powerful force without building a foundation. It is actually extremely rare in this world, and it is no weaker than some warriors who have built a foundation."
"Hurry up and tell me what foundation building is?" Wang Junlin's eyes lit up when he heard this. He found that he had finally uncovered the secret of the cultivation of warriors in this world.
Wu San thought for a moment and then said: "Sir, do you know that some powerful generals in the army can lift five hundred kilograms of weight, and the weapons they use weigh forty or fifty kilograms."
Wang Junlin said: "I heard that Pei Yuanqing can lift five hundred kilograms, and his pair of silver hammers weighs forty-eight kilograms."
Wu San said: "Sir, do you know that Governor Yu could lift a thousand kilograms when he was young, and now he can lift eight hundred kilograms even when he is old? His horse pole weighs eighty-three kilograms."
Wang Junlin nodded. He had also heard Zhou Hu and others talk about these things. It has always been difficult for him to understand that a person can lift a thousand kilograms of objects. He believed that there are indeed freaks with natural supernatural powers in the world, such as arithmetic.
Li Yuan's son, Li Shimin's younger brother Li Yuanba, who should have been born by now, is said to be born with supernatural powers. But nowadays, there are at least four or five such figures among the Sui army, so it is obvious that they are not born.
Wu Si, who had been silent until now, also interjected: "The Governor of Yu had an apprentice named Yuwen Chengdu. Legend has it that he once lifted a stone lion weighing 1,200 kilograms, and his weapon weighed a hundred kilograms."
"What you mean is that all those who are stronger than ordinary people have done the foundation building you just mentioned." Wang Junlin sighed in his heart, Yuwen Chengdu's name was considered famous even in later generations, how could he not know it.
Wu San nodded, shook his head, and said: "It's not just foundation building, but also hard training of martial arts. In extreme environments, physical fitness is stimulated again and again..."
After some explanations by Wu San and Wu Si, Wang Junlin finally understood how the martial arts masters in this world developed. The so-called foundation building actually means starting from the age of five, taking some secret medicine and tempering the body in a special liquid.
Then, if you continue to exercise your body every day, when you grow up, your strength and speed will far exceed that of ordinary people, and you will be able to maximize your potential.
Therefore, the fathers of those fierce generals were also generals. For example, Qin Qiong, Pei Yuanqing, and Li Jing during this period, their fathers were all generals. Only they had the formula of the secret medicine in their hands, and they also knew how to build a foundation, and they also knew how to train their sons.
That's why special methods were used to modify their muscles and bones since childhood.
This also proves the reason why those soldiers are far weaker than the generals, because almost all the soldiers in this era are ordinary farmers. No one in their family knows the method of foundation building, and there is no secret medicine formula. Even if there are some who know the foundation building
Even if there is no sufficient financial support, it is also impossible to build a foundation.
Therefore, ordinary soldiers can only exercise their bodies after adulthood, become as strong as possible, and then learn and practice weapon moves. As Wu San and Wu Si said, there are very few of these people who can reach Wang Junlin's strength. Generally speaking,
I will never become a general.
In addition, because each aristocratic family or military commander has different foundation-building methods and secret medicine formulas, they are also divided into upper, middle and lower grades. In addition, the natural qualifications of the people who build the foundation are different, as well as the financial resources and personal hardships.
Wait, after all the factors are combined, the strength of generals who have also built foundations will naturally be divided into different levels. The powerful ones are like Yu Juluo and Yuwen Chengdu. One can fight a hundred, and the weaker ones can't even defeat Wang Junlin.
According to what Wu San and Wu Si said, the Dugu family selects ten orphans every year for foundation building, but the secret medicine used is different from that used by the direct clan members of the Dugu family. This method of foundation building is extremely cruel, such as stripping naked on the ice in the middle of winter.
Martial arts training in the water, etc., Wu San, Wu Si, among the group of ten people, only four survived, and they were named Wu Yi, Wu Er, Wu San, and Wu Si.
This is why the Dugu family has so much money. According to Wu San, it took them ten years to build the foundation from the age of five to fifteen, and the money they consume each year is enough to live on for an ordinary family for ten years.
Of course, although people like Wu San and Wu Si know the foundation building method and foundation building procedures, they still cannot build the foundation because they don’t know the secret medicine they take and the ingredients of the medicinal liquid they soak in.
Wu Si said that a general was ordered to be executed last year, but because he gave the emperor the formula of a foundation-building secret medicine before his death, and the formula was extremely advanced, the emperor therefore ordered his life to be spared, and he was sent to the frontier to serve as a lifelong servant.
slave.
After letting Wu San and Wu Si leave, Wang Junlin carefully thought about what the Wu brothers had said for a while. He was greatly disappointed that he had passed the foundation-building age, and at the same time, he felt that something was wrong.
According to what the two said, this world does not have the profound internal skills mentioned in later martial arts novels. But what happened that night when they saw the light body movements and ghost-like speed of King Bodo and the Taoist priest?
After all, Wu San and Wu Si are just dead soldiers of the lonely family. It is already rare to know about foundation building. Some more advanced secrets may only be known to people at Yu Juluo's level.
Thinking of this, Wang Junlin took out the roll of animal skin he got from the sarcophagus and studied it again. He hoped that what was written on the animal skin would be some powerful internal skills. After all, he was in the same sarcophagus with him at the time.
The corpse in the picture was that of a Taoist priest, and the one who fought against King Bodo that night was also a Taoist priest.
"Hey! Speaking of which, the Taoist priest and the corpse in the sarcophagus were wearing similar clothes that night. Could they be from the same sect? By the way, that guy said he was looking for someone that night, so he probably wasn't coming for Dugu Moyu.
Judging from his tone, he is not here to find King Bodo. Could it be that... he is here to find himself? His purpose is this roll of animal skin and this piece of blood jade." These days, King Junlin has been thinking about fighting and getting promoted. At this time,
After calming down, I finally realized something strange.
"It seems that what is written on this animal skin is not trivial, and the blood jade is indeed extremely important. We must find someone who can understand the words on the animal skin as soon as possible." Wang Junlin murmured to himself.
After thinking about it, Wang Junlin decided to copy down the words on the animal skin first, and he was thoughtful and deliberately copied them out of order. This way, he could ask at any time if he met anyone who might know these words.

…
Because people and cattle and sheep all need to drink water, and water sources are not easy to find on the Gobi grassland, the Turkic teams transporting grain and grass move as close as possible to the Wenfeng River. With the trampling of people and horses these days, the Turkic logistics camp
A road has been blazed to Jincheng County.
On this road, at least one grain transport team will drive tens of thousands of cattle and sheep south every day to the Turkic camp in Jincheng County. The distance is more than 200 miles and it takes three or four days to walk, so every other day's journey
, that is to say, there is a mighty team of cattle and sheep within sixty or seventy miles.
When the sun was the hottest at noon that day, by the Wenfeng River, more than a hundred miles away from the Turkic logistics camp, 500 Turkic cavalry were dismounting to rest and eat, and 50,000 cattle and sheep were gathered there driven by more than 100 herdsmen.
Drinking water by the river, there was no shade under the sun, and after almost two days of driving, 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 would
A few dozen women among the herdsmen carried one man on their shoulders and carried him to the distant grass to perform the blissful act.
In short, because this is not the Sui Dynasty, they are very vigilant. The five hundred cavalry are actually mainly on guard against wild wolves.
However, at this moment, a row of small black spots suddenly appeared on the top of the low mountain in the distance. These black spots rushed down the hillside at extremely fast speeds and swooped towards this side. Large groups of black spots continued to pour out from the top of the mountain.
Black spot, this is a regiment of cavalry from the Sui Dynasty, a thousand elite cavalry.
The fierce sound of horse hooves instantly alerted the Turkic soldiers and herdsmen lying on the grass. Those who were not sleeping jumped up immediately, shouted and ran towards their horses, while those who were sleeping were delayed.
Some of them took three or four breaths to get up and ran towards their horses with panic on their faces. More than a hundred herdsmen desperately gathered their cattle and sheep and moved closer to the cavalry. But they were too hasty.
