Chapter 3 03: Mohist Magical Power [A House Built from a Single Tree]

The new identity of Chu Zhongxing is the Yihui Captain of Zhenbei Army.

According to the military system of the Shang Dynasty, Chu Zhongxing, as the Yihui Captain, could command 500 soldiers.

However, now the Zhenbei Army, together with Chu Zhongxing, has a total of 143 people. Chu Zhongxing only has the title of Yihui Colonel, but not the authority of Yihui Colonel.

"Welcome new recruits!"

“Hahaha, I never thought that our Zhenbei Army would have new recruits one day!”

"New soldier, have you ever killed barbarians or eaten monsters?"

"Old Guo, assign the new recruits to me. I'll let them have a taste of what it's like to be a woman!"

"Damn Lao Zhang, you are a rookie, do you know what a woman tastes like? You are teaching a new recruit to taste a woman, have you ever tasted one yourself?"

As Chu Zhongxing took over the appointment letter, a group of white-haired soldiers began to compete for Chu Zhongxing, wanting to personally train the new recruit Chu Zhongxing and see if they could pass on their skills.

Looking at his comrades who were full of energy again, Guo Xiaoding forced a smile on his scarred face, like a child trying to stop crying.

The arrival of "Imperial Merchant Reinforcements" Chu Zhongxing brought vitality to this dying city. To be honest, he didn't know how long it had been since he saw his comrades laughing so happily.

"Take my wine and come to welcome Captain Chu, the 'Emperor Merchant Reinforcement Army'!"

Amidst cheers, Yancheng welcomed the most lively moment in decades.

The wine was bitter and the food was unpalatable, but the hearts of the 143 soldiers defending Yancheng were very hot.

After eating and drinking, Chu Zhongxing, feeling hot all over, left the jubilant crowd. However, just as he left, the drunk Guo Xiaoding immediately opened his cloudy eyes and followed him silently.

"General Guo, where is the safest place in Yancheng?"

The streets were empty, with only the north wind howling. Chu Zhongxing staggered, walking aimlessly while asking questions to the empty streets.

After Chu Zhongxing finished speaking, Guo Xiaoding appeared behind Chu Zhongxing like a ghost. He looked at Chu Zhongxing, who had no spiritual energy in his body, with an interesting expression on his face: "You little brat may not be very strong, but you are quite smart."

"There is no safest place in Yancheng. This isolated city may be razed to the ground by barbarians at any time."

"Hehehe!"

Chu Zhongxing was also impressed by Guo Xiaoding. Damn it, can’t you say something nice?
What's the point of breaking the city at any time? I, Chu Zhongxing, traveled to the fantasy world in my physical body. If I don't taste a few cat girls, it would be a pity! !

"Relatively safe?"

"also not."

"General Guo, just pretend I didn't ask!"

Chu Zhongxing interrupted Guo Xiaoding rudely. He looked around and came to an open space with a relatively flat ground.

Then Chu Zhongxing took out a blue amber from his pocket. Guo Xiaoding and others did not forcibly confiscate their belongings. The dragon scale dagger, blue amber and other items were still in their pockets.

As for things like mobile phones, they won’t be found once the physical body travels to the fantasy world.

The blue amber was stained with Chu Zhongxing's blood. The moment the blue amber was taken out, a line of familiar words appeared in front of Chu Zhongxing's eyes.

[Please find a suitable location to build a resurrection pool. 】

"I hope the resurrection pool won't let me down!"

Chu Zhongxing's mind moved, and the line of text in front of him instantly turned into a 3D resurrection pool structure. The entire structure was divided into two colors, one was red, indicating that it could not be built.

The other one is green, indicating that it can be built. As Chu Zhongxing's eyes moved, the color of the 3D resurrection pool structure also kept changing. Finally, when Chu Zhongxing's eyes moved to the flat open space, the 3D resurrection pool structure was green throughout.

“It’s like playing Age of Empires.”

After determining the location of the [Resurrection Pool], another line of text appeared.

【Put the blue amber in the designated location.】

Chu Zhongxing took a step forward and placed the blue amber in the center of the 3D resurrection pool structure. The next second, the blue amber exploded and turned into an amber jade pool.

The Amber Jade Pool is an irregular oval, more than two meters long and one meter wide. The water in the pool is turquoise blue, and at first glance it gives people the feeling that the water in the pool is poisonous.

Chu Zhongxing squatted beside the amber jade pool. Just as he was about to check another message that appeared in front of him, the one-eyed Guo Xiaoding in the distance quickly rushed to his side.

"A single tree makes a house. Are you a disciple of the Mohist school?"

Guo Xiaoding had a look of surprise and doubt on his face. He had checked Chu Zhongxing's dantian and found not a single bit of spiritual energy in it, nor were there any signs of cultivation on his body. He was just an ordinary mortal.

But now Chu Zhongxing actually used the Mohist magical power of [Building a House from a Single Log] to build an amber jade pool.

"A disciple of the Mohist school?"

Chu Zhongxing looked at the Jade Lake, then looked at Guo Xiaoding beside him. He did not admit it, but did not deny it either.

After a few breaths, Chu Zhongxing asked Guo Xiaoding: "Which sect is General Guo a disciple from?"

"Military strategist, military formation school."

"."

A Bingxing School directly hit Chu Zhongxing's blind spot in knowledge. Chu Zhongxing was naturally clear about military strategists, but he couldn't figure out what Bingxing School was no matter how hard he racked his brains.

"Only eighty-three years have passed. Has the Mohist School developed to the point where it can perform magical powers without spiritual energy?"

Guo Xiaoding's face was full of disbelief. No matter which family or sect they belonged to, to display their magical powers they would need to consume the spiritual energy stored in their body. But now Chu Zhongxing's [A House Built from a Single Tree] had broken his cognition.

"I am not from the Mohist school."

"I found this amber by chance. General Guo, do you think it belongs to a demon?"

Chu Zhongxing pointed at the amber jade pool and asked Guo Xiaoding, "Now I am at the mercy of others. It is impossible for me to deceive Guo Xiaoding, a general who has guarded the city for 83 years, by making up lies."

Chu Zhongxing had no intention of hiding the truth from Guo Xiaoding. In Yancheng, an isolated city that was on the verge of death, Chu Zhongxing was certain that Guo Xiaoding would not delve too deeply into the matter as long as he did not persuade the defenders of Yancheng to open the gates and surrender.

Fighting to the death and refusing to surrender is the final destination and the bottom line of the Yancheng defenders.

"I have checked all the items on you, and only the dagger has traces of beast blood."

Guo Xiaoding shook his head. If Chu Zhongxing had any connection with the demon, he would have slapped Chu Zhongxing to death long ago.

As for whether Chu Zhongxing was a spy trained by the barbarians, Guo Xiaoding didn't care at all.

Even if Chu Zhongxing is a spy trained by the barbarians, without Chu Zhongxing, Yancheng will not be able to hold out for long.

It is only a matter of time before Yancheng is conquered by the barbarians, and the defenders of Yancheng know it very well.

"It's good that it's not a demon."

Chu Zhongxing grinned: "General Guo, give us a chance? Perhaps one day we can recapture the northern border and return to the imperial business!"
