Johime Three Kingdoms

Chapter 140 Lu Bu’s Golden Finger
The destiny black bird falls and gives birth to Shang!
The black bird is the totem of the Shang Dynasty.

Lu Bu was born in Bingzhou, and it was in the northern part of Bingzhou. In the "ji" shape of the Yellow River, the uppermost horizontal line is also the Jiuyuan above, which is the Heshuo area!

During the Spring and Autumn Period, this place had little to do with Chinese civilization...

Not to mention Heshuo, when King Wu of the Zhou Dynasty sealed the country, even the Central Plains region was full of Rong and Yi.

King Wu of Zhou enfeoffed 71 vassal states, including hundreds of Fang states and nearly a thousand subjugated states...

The so-called Fang Kingdom and Fu Kingdom refer to fiefdoms that were not granted by the Western Zhou Dynasty, but were recognized on the spot by the clans that submitted to the Zhou Dynasty.

In terms of the population at that time, these Fang and Fu countries were more like clans than "countries".

This is precisely the effect of the feudal system. Each "state" actively cleaned up the Rong and Yi in the surrounding areas and in the country. In the middle and late Western Zhou Dynasty, the Yangtze River and Yellow River basins were basically Zhengshuo of the Chinese states. In the early Warring States period, the situation became even worse. It is clear that small countries have been merged into big countries.

Moreover, in terms of actual control of territory, the Seven Heroes of the Warring States Period were several times larger than all the vassal states of the Zhou Dynasty combined. The area to which Jiuyuan belonged was also included by Zhao State under the wings of Chinese civilization...

Not to mention the Shang Dynasty, Hetao and Heshuo were both the territory of Guifang Kingdom. As for who belonged to Guifang Kingdom... no one could tell, but they had all been integrated.

Lu Bu's strength should be regarded as "given by heaven". The so-called cultivation is also the physical training method practiced in the army. He is a complete free agent. After awakening the armor on his own, he begins to practice the cultivation methods that come with the armor.

I have to mention here that the way warriors practice in the world of Cheng Ji - obviously it is not the effect that can be achieved by simply "exercising", but it is not the complicated practice and meditation in the world of high martial arts...

In the world of Cheng Ji, to awaken the soldier talisman, you first need a certain physical constitution - this requires a broad sense of cultivation method, the more advanced ones include some of the essentials of breathing and breathing, the more superficial ones are just to temper the body... The weapon talisman can also be awakened successfully.

And after getting your own soldier talisman, it doesn't matter how you trained to become a warrior before, because you also have the "instruction manual" of the battle armor together with it!
It can also be regarded as a method of cultivation, but... In Bai Tu's view, these methods of cultivation are very close to the people, and there are no frequent settings of meridians and acupuncture points. Compared with the "skills" in various high-level martial arts stories, , closer to an "exercise guide."

Some are text, and some are even "videos", which look similar to weird radio exercises and weird yoga fitness videos!
Although different people will receive different "instructions", generally speaking, the level of proficiency has a lot to do with the pattern on the back of the weapon talisman, and it is generally very suitable for the owner of the armor.

The training of generals usually involves sweating on the martial arts field rather than practicing martial arts in seclusion in a secret room...

Bai Tu actually has this kind of cultivation method, but the "instruction manual" that comes with his wood and stone armor with no patterns on the back is naturally not an advanced cultivation method.

Under such circumstances, Lu Bu could pass on the cultivation methods he had completely mastered to Bai Tu.

Even in terms of the practice method, it is difficult to teach it completely, because only the owner of the armor can see the "instructions", and what he demonstrates is only the part he understands, and... what suits him may not be suitable. other people!
It's just that in the case of Bai Tu and Lu Bu, no matter how discounted Lu Bu's skills are, they are much better than the "instructions" for Bai Tu's White Rabbit Armor.

Lu Bu vaguely remembered that when he was a child, he had the experience of a black bird falling into a dream. Later, when he used the most basic military training methods to exercise his body, he would intentionally or unintentionally imitate the black bird.

Later, when he was a boy, Lu Bu awakened the military talisman on his own for the first time. The pattern on the back of the military talisman was the highest-grade "Qilin", and the "instructions" that came with it were also high-end.

According to the "instructions" of this level of military talisman, Lu Bu improved rapidly, and... Gradually, Lu Bu discovered that imitating the "black bird" that appeared in his dream could not only gradually improve the enlightened physical training method in the army. In fact, even the instructions for the "Qilin" military talisman can be gradually improved.

After Lu Bu was promoted to the gilded military talisman, the pattern on the back of the military talisman directly turned into a "black bird" - not among the four proper rank patterns of dog, tiger, unicorn...

Lu Bu's series of experiences fully deserves the position of "the protagonist of Shuangwen", and his golden finger is the "mysterious bird"!
At the beginning, Lu Bu didn't know that his big black bird was a black bird, let alone its relationship with the Shang Dynasty...

After reading some books, I found out that there is indeed some origin - in the Warring States Period of Zhao State, the king was named Zhao, and the Zhao family named Ying was the descendant of the famous Shang Dynasty official "Fei Lian". Descendants of the son.

Fei Lian's eldest son is evil...

In other words, the State of Zhao, which incorporated Jiuyuan into the Chinese civilization, is the descendant of the Yin Shang!
As for why Lu Bu, who was born in Jiuyuan, would have black birds in his dreams, he could not guess the reason - there were so many people in Jiuyuan, and others did not have such "golden fingers".

Lu Bu also suspected that it was precisely because of this relationship that when he demonstrated the detached posture to Bai Tu before, the "Evil Lai" armor might have felt the breath of the black bird...

Although in the mainstream view of history, King Zhou of Shang is heinous, Fei Lian, Elai and other stubborn merchant officials are all treacherous officials, but... everyone understands that this is not only because of the factors of success and failure, Moreover, it is also because of the orthodox Confucianism, which overemphasizes Zhougong and Zhouli, so the description of the Shang-Zhou dispute also has elements of "free play".

Even with the current status of Confucianism, many historians are still not used to it. Confucius was too subjective in the past, and even wrote history books based on speculation about the ancient history...

At least for the Shang Dynasty, Erai was an absolutely loyal minister. After being touched by Lu Bu's black bird aura, he invisibly "pushed" him in the transformation process!
After Lu Bu felt this change, firstly he was a little disgusted that he had inadvertently helped Cao Cao's men, and secondly... he was also excited that he had an additional candidate worthy of attention!
More than ten days passed before Bai Tu knew what was going on with the energy Lu Bu felt at this time...

It can also be seen here that Chen Gong's "chichi wisdom" is not omnipotent - no matter how long it takes, Chen Gong cannot deduce that Cao Cao will force Zhang Xiu to surrender and rebel because of his "good wife". Naturally, There is no way to know what happened in Wancheng after that...
