Chapter 40: ?Internal practice method
After eating dry food and making preparations, everyone bowed before the graves of the three soldiers who died in the battle last night.
Said to be a tomb, but it was actually three small earthbags.
There is no inscription, only a wooden plaque symbolizing identity is inserted in front of the earthbag.
When this kind of soldier who was performing tasks outside died, the general countermeasure was to bury it on the spot.
Buried on the spot, for the deceased, to avoid the bleak end of exposing the corpse in the wilderness.
For the living, it can also save the trouble of transporting corpses.
After finishing everything, Li Liang turned his eyes and looked at Chen Cang.
He asked Chen Cang to come forward and be obedient, to announce the matter.
After Chen Cang heard this, he immediately strode forward and approached Li Liang.
He didn't stop until he was only two steps away from Li Liang.
Even during the battle last night, he never had the chance to get so close to Li Liang.
Unexpectedly, this morning, he would have such a rare opportunity.
When he was close enough to Li Liang, he heard a cold mechanical sound.
"Ding, find the target, do you want to extract it?"
This is the sound of the exercise extractor, mechanical and cold. However, in Chen Cang's ears, it was so pleasant to the ears.
"Yes." Chen Cang immediately answered silently in his heart.
Then, a white light flew out from Li Liang's body and submerged into Chen Cang's body.
Of course, none of these other soldiers could see it.
"Ding, the extraction was successful, and the silkworm art was obtained."
After Chen Cang heard this, he was greatly surprised.
This is the gong method practiced by Li Liang, and it is an internal practice method, not a simple fist and foot exercise method.
The silkworm art practiced by Li Liang has a total of five variations. With every change, the body will undergo qualitative changes, and it can enter a new realm.
The first change, Li Liang stepped into the body quenching state.
In the second change, Li Liang stepped into the sea of qi.
It's a pity that he hasn't been able to complete the third transformation since he practiced until now.
If he completes the third transformation, he can step into Nirvana.
Cultivation does not rely on exercises alone, it needs to be supported by various resources. Of course, individual talent also matters.
For Chen Cang, this exercise is simply giving help in the snow.
He has practiced the Burning Palm, Bursting Fist, and the Wolf-running technique, but he has not practiced the inner-practice technique.
Now, having acquired an internal practice method such as the Heavenly Silkworm Gong, he will be like a fish in water, even more powerful.
He swore that as soon as he had time, he would practice Heavenly Silkworm Gong.
It is said that good things come in pairs.
Li Liang announced that he had given Chen Cang a wounded warhorse.
The owner of that war horse died last night, so there is no owner.
Although the war horse was injured, it was not serious, and it was able to travel.
According to normal qualifications and cultivation realm, Chen Cang is not qualified.
This is not Li Liang's eccentricity, but Chen Cang's actual actions last night.
It was precisely because Chen Cang showed his might last night that he turned the tide and killed the dune beast, that's why Li Liang assigned him the war horse.
For this kind of distribution, the other soldiers were envious, but they did not show any objection.
Who told Chen Cang to be the man who killed the dune beast!
Chen Cang got the Silkworm Art and got a warhorse. Even if it was only temporary, he was happy.
With horse riding, there is no need to walk, it is naturally comfortable.
Under the leadership of Li Liang, the soldiers set off again and continued to the southeast.
In the southeast, there is a city bigger than Liangcheng called Sifang City.
Sifang City is the royal city in the north, and is ruled by the King of Zhenbei himself.
In Sifang City, there are iron cavalry who are brave and good at fighting, and they are the bravest warriors in the north.
Their terrifyingness is well-known in the entire Dayue Kingdom.
Liangcheng is a subsidiary city of Sifang City. One of its functions is to protect the Sifang City.
The food and grass that Liangcheng needed was delivered from Sifang City.
They are still far from Sifang City, and they just pick up and drop off food and grass on the way.
Relatively speaking, the farther away from Sifang City, the more dangerous it is.
After a long journey, Chen Cang and the others finally encountered a convoy delivering food and grass.
Ten carriages, all full of grain. There were ten soldiers who transported food and grass, and each was in charge of a carriage.
On the way to Liangcheng, it is not safe.
Therefore, Chen Cang and the others came to meet him halfway, to protect the safety of food and grass.
Everyone didn't rest, and they hurry up while taking advantage of the day.
There was a carriage in the team, so the speed slowed down.
They walked back and did not reach the place where they camped last night, and it got dark.
Night is not suitable for traveling, and both horses and personnel need to rest and replenish their strength.
So Li Liang ordered everyone to stop and set up a camp to make a fire.
Because of the food and grass, it becomes more serious at night.
The soldiers encamped around ten carriages, guarding the ten carriages of grain and grass in the middle, so they did not dare to slack off.
"Chen Cang, you are in charge of the night watch." Li Liang ordered.
"Yes." Chen Cang replied.
Sure enough, there is a reason for letting him ride a horse during the day.
Chen Cang did not resist the vigil. After all, riding in the daytime today, he is not so tired and his energy is still good.
Even if he keeps watch all night, there is no problem.
The night was calm, and there were occasional cries of sandworms in the distance.
The flames flickered, Chen Cang and other people in charge of the vigil did not dare to relax in the slightest.
That's how the night passed.
When it was dawn, all the soldiers who were vigilant couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, I managed to survive another night.
As soon as it was dawn, everyone ate dry food and fed the horses, and set off again.
The distance from Liangcheng is getting closer and closer, and everyone's heart is getting more and more nervous.
Hope not to go wrong at the last moment, or encounter any accident.
Fortunately, all the way down, the road was very calm, and there were no accidents.
On the way, they finally met the cavalry sent by Liangcheng to patrol, and their hearts were immediately settled.
Encountering cavalry patrolling also meant that it was not far from Liangcheng.
At this moment, they only felt that the tiredness on their bodies had disappeared.
When they saw Liangcheng, they had a feeling of returning home.
It's finally back!
Everything needs to be experienced.
This is the first time Chen Cang has participated in picking up food and grass. Although he encountered a dune beast on the way, after some battle, he managed to bring the food and grass back alive.
This time, those who participated in the delivery of food and grass will all be credited with military merit.
Of course, as the person who killed the Dune Beast, Chen Cang had obtained more military merit than other soldiers.
As for the three soldiers who died tragically at the hands of the Dune Beast, they could only pass their pensions to their families.
After returning to the barracks, the war horse that Chen Cang rode also returned to the cavalry barracks.
He was only temporarily riding, he was only a footman, and he had not been assigned a warhorse yet.
However, Chen Cang didn't care that much.
After all, he obtained a piece of silkworm art from Li Liang.
The biggest gain this time is this internal training method.
For the next few days, Chen Cang did not go out to perform tasks. Routinely go outside to put horses every day, and at the same time shoulder the task of patrolling.
For him, such a day is simply a heaven-sent opportunity.
Life is bitter and cold, but he rejoices in suffering.
With the time to practice, he devoted himself to cultivating the celestial silkworm art. Because what he learned also included Li Liang's understanding of cultivating the celestial silkworm art over the years, he practiced it like a fish in water, and it went very smoothly.
Tian Silkworm Gong is an internal training method that trains the whole body.
He practiced the first transformation with all his strength, and it took only five days to complete the first transformation.
When he completed the first molting, he did not molt, but excreted a lot of impurities.
After the first transformation, his cultivation has also successfully broken through, from the middle stage of the body quenching realm to the late stage of the body quenching stage.
On the day he broke through, the north wind howled and the cold was terrifying.
Suddenly, he saw that in the west sky, there was a sky-shooting cannon rising into the sky.
The Sky Cannon was used to deliver urgent news.
Once the Sky Cannon is launched, it means that there is an emergency.
After Chen Cang saw it, he secretly thought that it was not good.
Then, without hesitation, he fired the Sky Cannon he carried with him to spread the news far away.
Not long after, the smoke of the wolf rose from the beacon tower.
A group of cavalry galloped up, and when they passed by, they asked Chen Cang about the situation, and asked Chen Cang to ride a little mare and go to the west for support.
When he reached a pasture in the west, Chen Cang saw a soldier who was putting his horse under attack. His whole body was gone, only a skeleton was left.
Seeing that scene, Chen Cang couldn't help but be moved.
It was the first time he saw such a miserable picture, and he was still a little uncomfortable.
This kind of murder is really cruel.
"It was done by the barbarian bandits!" The cavalry that accompanied him looked extremely solemn.
The barbarian bandits are very cruel, and they are good at cutting people into skeletons with a machete.
These cavalrymen often deal with barbarian bandits, UU reading www. uukanshu.com so familiar with their means of killing.
Chen Cang had only heard of it before, but had never seen it. Now that I see it, I grit my teeth for a while.
This team of cavalry, with twenty cavalry, was in charge of handling emergencies, and the leader was an old soldier named Su An.
When he saw the skeleton, his face was ashen. What annoyed him the most was that there were five horses lying around.
Three of them were mares, and they all had cubs in their wombs.
In other words, those gangsters who not only murdered, but also killed horses, seemed to be taking revenge on purpose.
If you bring those horses, it will affect their speed of action, and you can only kill them.
All cavalrymen have a special feeling for horses. At this moment, seeing the tragically dead horses, all of them have red eyes and monstrous anger in their chests.
"The wild bandits should be killed!"
In fact, when Chen Cang saw the dead horse, he felt uncomfortable.
After letting horses for so many days, he also developed special feelings for horses. At this moment, he felt uncomfortable inside.
The next moment, Su An gave an order to follow the horseshoe prints to chase down the barbarian bandits.
In his words, if you don't kill the barbarian bandits, you will never give up.
According to the horse's hoof prints, the barbarians went west after killing the soldier who let the horse go.
If he went east, Chen Cang would also be killed.
On the way, I encountered two more patrolling soldiers, and they were also asked to join the team chasing the barbarian bandits.
Further west, there is a village called Xiyue Village.
According to the horseshoe prints, those barbarians went to Xiyue Village.
"Quick, speed up!" Su An's heart became more and more anxious.
Although Xiyue Village has a small population, there are people living there.
He just hoped that would not happen.
