I was almost eaten at the beginning, luckily I was able to transfer the negative status

"Don't run around after you go in. The temporary camp for the extra-commissioned soldiers is to the right of the inner camp gate.

Just go there and wait for the person in charge to make arrangements. Don't cause trouble, or you will be expelled from the camp and will never be hired again."

"Yes, thank you for letting me know."

Thank the soldier who moved the barricades.

Zhou Heng walked quickly past the gate and entered the inner camp of the Qingliang Army.

As soon as he entered the inner camp, he saw the so-called temporary camp for non-staff soldiers on the right side of the camp gate.

That thing was actually just an open space surrounded by a wooden fence, with a vertical sign with seven big words "Temporary Camp for Non-staff Soldiers" written on it stuck in the opening of the fence.

At this moment, there were more than thirty plainly dressed civilians and ragged refugees standing in the open space.

Obviously, they should be the ones who passed the assessment set by the outer camp.

I have to say that the difficulty of the assessment in the outer camp is indeed quite high. After so much time, there are only about thirty people who can pass.

You know, just when he passed by the outer camp just now, he saw that there were definitely no less than three hundred people taking the test.

As for the person in charge, Zhou Heng did not see him. He thought that the other party would wait until the assessment of the outer camp was over before coming over.

After entering the so-called non-staff soldier barracks.

Although everyone in the camp was a little curious about Zhou Heng's strange outfit of carrying multiple packages and wearing a wooden helmet.

But they only showed a little curiosity in their eyes and did not take any other action. It seemed that they were also warned by the soldiers outside the camp and did not dare to cause trouble easily.

In this regard.

Zhou Heng was happy to be alone and had no intention of chatting with them. He just stood there quietly waiting for the person in charge to arrive.

……

Time passed by minute by minute.

As the sky gradually darkened, blazing torches were lit one after another on the watchtowers around the camp. The soft flames spread across the entire camp, illuminating every corner of the camp. Although it was not as bright as daybreak, it was not dark either.

At this time, the number of people waiting in the non-staff barracks had reached fifty-seven.

The so-called person in charge finally arrived at the camp.

The man was wearing light armor and had a nearly one-meter-long machete tied around his waist. He had a serious expression and looked at everyone in the camp with cold eyes.

"My name is Guo Hao, and I'm a sergeant in our Qingliang Army. From now on, you can just call me Sergeant Guo."

"Hello, Mr. Guo!!"

As soon as Guo Hao finished speaking, everyone present was very tactful and greeted each other loudly.

Wait until everyone is quiet.

Guo Hao nodded slightly with satisfaction, and then continued in a deep tone:

"I'm sure you've all heard something about the specifications of the garrison.

Our Qingliang Army belongs to the second tier among the many defenders in Daqing. In other words, our commander is a senior official with the title of second rank.

However, these have nothing to do with you, because you are now just extra soldiers of our Qingliang Army.

The so-called supernumerary soldiers means that you are still just a civilian without any official position.

If you want to become a formal soldier of our Qingliang Army, there is only one way to go, and that is to practice martial arts hard.

Only if you truly enter the martial arts realm within a month can you be officially enlisted. Otherwise, you will spend your entire lives as a non-commissioned soldier handling menial tasks in the military."

Hearing what Guo Hao said, someone in the camp couldn't help but ask.

"Master Shichang, how should we practice martial arts?"

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone looked at Guo Hao expectantly, including Zhou Heng. In fact, his anticipation was far greater than that of others.

If his guess was correct, then the so-called martial arts should be the extraordinary path he had always dreamed of.

Faced with everyone's curious and expectant eyes, Guo Hao no longer kept them in suspense.

"The path of martial arts training is both difficult and easy.

If you want to practice martial arts, you first need to use breathing techniques to absorb the free spiritual energy between heaven and earth. After the spiritual energy enters the body, it will automatically consume our flesh and blood to form qi and blood.

Then, we need to use standing meditation to guide the qi and blood in the body to open the body's orifices. Once the orifices are opened, they can automatically absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth and transform it into yuanli and accumulate it inside.

There are a total of 360 Yuanqiao in the human body. If one can open up 1 to 120 Yuanqiao, he is a third-rate warrior; if one can open up 121 to 240 Yuanqiao, he is a second-rate warrior; and if one can open up 241 to 360 Yuanqiao, he is a first-rate warrior.

The first one hundred and twenty Yuanqiao.

Every time a Yuanqiao is opened, a person can directly gain a ten-pound strength increase without having to consume the Yuanli to use martial arts.

There are one hundred and twenty Yuanqiao in the body, and each Yuanqiao can increase a person's strength by a thousand pounds.

The last one hundred and twenty Yuanqiao, each of which can increase a person's strength by one hundred thousand jin.

I, Guo, am not talented. I have only opened up 107 Yuanqiao so far, and am still wasting my time as a third-rate warrior.

Okay, I won’t say any more nonsense. Night is the time when the free spiritual energy between heaven and earth is most active, and it is the most suitable time to practice breathing techniques to accumulate qi and blood.

I came here today to teach you the standard breathing method in the military, the Moon-Watching Breathing Method."

After hearing this, although everyone present had already guessed it, they were still extremely excited, and a hint of excitement was revealed on everyone's face.

Not to mention the 120 orifices in the middle and the 120 orifices at the back, just opening up the 120 orifices in the front, each orifice can increase a person's strength by ten kilograms, making them an extraordinary being. How can they not be excited?

However, for fear of upsetting Guo Hao, everyone only dared to show joy on their faces and did not dare to speak out and talk to others.

I could see everyone's excitement.

Guo Hao's voice paused slightly, and then he continued in a stern tone and with an extremely serious expression:

"Before I teach you the Moon-Watching Breathing Technique, there are a few key points you must keep in mind. This concerns your life safety.

First, after you learn the Moon-Watching Breathing Method, you must never reveal it without the military's permission, otherwise you will be cut into pieces!

Second, when practicing the Moon-Gazing Breathing Method, you must stay in the firelight. The brighter the firelight, the better, otherwise you will surely die.

Third, during the breathing method, you may have some inexplicable hallucinations. Don’t be afraid, those are just normal phenomena. You can continue to maintain the breathing rhythm required by the breathing method.

However, when the question of "What am I?" suddenly arises in your mind, you must stick to your original heart, always remember that you are a person, and immediately disrupt your breathing rhythm and end the breathing method.

Okay, that’s all I have to say.

Now, everyone sits cross-legged, clasps their fingers together and places them under their abdomen, lifts their heads and chests, and looks up at the sky with eyes slightly lowered. It would be best if you can see the moon, but it doesn't matter if you can't.

This is the necessary preparatory step for practicing the Moon-Watching Breathing Method. Then, it’s about the breathing rhythm. Follow my instructions. First, take a deep breath, and keep breathing. When you can’t breathe any more, hold your breath…”
