Chapter 216 Even horses know the art of war [ask for monthly votes! ]

Facing Gu Huaiying's confusion, Sword King Sun behaved quite calmly.

"Your cultivation is higher than that of Junior Brother Liang, and you have the advantage of a Qi Refiner over a warrior. Do you know why you lost?" He only started to lecture Gu Huaiying after he came back to him.

"I..." Gu Huaiying stammered.

I was thinking it was because Junior Brother Liang was cheating.

But I and my master are just opposite each other, how can I say this?

After hesitating, he didn't say it out loud.

Finally, he whispered, "Because I underestimated the enemy..."

"Underestimating the enemy?" Sword Prince shook his head. "Even if you were asked to fight with Brother Liang again, and you were fully prepared, you would still lose. Do you know why?"

Gu Huaiying was indeed a very obedient disciple. Even though he disagreed with his master's words, he did not refute them in public. Instead, he raised his eyes and asked, "Why?"

"Because you lack flexibility." Sword Prince Sun said in front of Wang Rulin, "When I was practicing in the Yujian Sect, my senior brother always beat me every time we sparred. At that time, I was also very dissatisfied, thinking that he was engaged in some conspiracy and intrigue, which was not worthy of being on the stage. But it was not until I participated in the battle to capture the city and was careless and almost lost the life of my comrade-in-arms that I suddenly realized that there are not so many fair arenas for you to fight in life. Practitioners must do their best on every battlefield."

"If my senior brother had participated in the battle to capture the city, there would definitely not have been such a big crisis. The root cause is that I have not experienced enough life-and-death battles. It is difficult to throw you into a wild environment to train now, so I brought you here to make you understand the importance of flexibility."

"I suffered many losses at the hands of my senior brother before I realized this truth. If you can understand it today, you can avoid many detours." Sword King Sun spoke eloquently.

Although his words were full of praise for Wang Rulin, why did Liang Yue feel a little embarrassed for no reason?

Because there are so many despicable people out there, so today I’ll let you experience the top level of shamelessness first, and then you’ll have to be careful next time... That’s what it sounds like.

But I'm not sure, so I'll listen again.

Wang Rulin, on the other hand, looked as if he was facing a great enemy, and covered his face and said, "Oh no, he has stolen my skills."

Liang Yue whispered, "Master, don't worry. He can only learn the basics of our military tactics and will never understand the essence."

"That's true." Wang Rulin nodded. "This kid looks a bit dull, so he doesn't seem to be a big deal."

Listening to Sword Prince's teachings, Gu Huaiying's expression changed from confusion at first to acceptance. He nodded deeply several times and then said, "Master, I understand!"

Only then did Sword Prince Sun reveal a look of satisfaction.

If I didn't let my apprentice come to Wang Rulin first to experience what shamelessness is, I would really worry that he would suffer if he met such a person in the future.

After he finished his lecture, Wang Rulin stepped forward and said, "You two, master and disciple, have come to learn from me. Do you have to pay some tuition?"

Sword King Sun smiled again, "Brother, then I will tell you something important."

"We came back this time to serve as offerings to the Evil Execution Office." He said slowly, "We will not leave for quite a long time."

"What's the big deal?" Wang Rulin curled his lips. "When Chen Su invited the Crazy Taoist and the Lame Monk, he did it in front of me."

"Don't you realize the problem yet?" Sword King Sun said mischievously, "Not only Taoist Feng and Zen Master Yun, but also Ugly Tanhua and Drunk Qingyi have all returned."

Wang Rulin blinked, and suddenly felt that something was wrong. "Jiu Mengzi is back too? Then the seven of you are all together? What does Chen Su mean by this? It turns out that he didn't invite me and treated me as an outsider?"

"In addition to serving as a sacrifice to the Zhuxie Yamen, we also have another mission, which is to select talents for the battle to seize the city." Sword Prince Sun continued: "The court will host the selection ceremony, and the seven of us will serve as judges to select heroes from all over the world."

"Damn it." Wang Rulin cursed, "Chen Su didn't even tell me about this!"

"He might be afraid that after you know about it, you will ask us to give your apprentice the inside story." Sword King Sun smiled and shook his head, "Anyway, don't tell him that I revealed this information to you. I don't care what you do."

After saying that, he turned around, took his apprentice with him, and said, "Goodbye."

The master and his disciple left Yunzhiguan together.

Liang Yue and Bai Yuan went out to see the guests off, and when they saw Gu Huaiying leave, he was suddenly startled and asked, "Master, where is our horse?"

"Hmm?" Sword King Sun Yi frowned.

Gu Huaiying shouted, "Our horses are gone?" "We just tied them here..." Bai Yuan pointed to the open space in front of the door, also a little confused. He looked into the distance and spread out his energy, only to find two dying horses lying at the foot of the hill in the distance.

Everyone rushed over to take a look and found that both horses had wounds all over their bodies, as if they had been kicked by another horse.

Liang Yue realized something and quickly ran back to the outside of Yunzhi Temple. Looking at Dahei who was standing there as if nothing had happened, he frowned and asked, "Did you hit someone else's horse?"

"Xilulu..." Dahei barked twice, moved his position with a tap, scratched his hind legs, returned to his position, and shook his head.

Liang Yue watched its performance for a while and roughly understood what it wanted to express.

Just now when it was standing there peacefully, the two horses threw dirt at its face in provocation. It was so angry that it fought back and kicked the two horses down the hillside.

You can indeed see some dirt on its brow bone.

It seems to make sense.

On the other side of the hillside, Jian Wangsun and Gu Huaiying were also questioning the two injured horses, "Were your two horses kicked off by one horse?"

The two injured horses performed tremblingly for a long time before the two men understood.

It turned out that the big black horse had kicked them just now and had been running towards this side since then. They chased it together. Just when the two horses were slightly apart, the big black horse suddenly turned around, turned its hoof, and kicked in the air, directly kicking the first dragon colt off the hillside.

Then it turned around and made peace with the other horse. The other horse then leaned over the slope to check on its companion, but was caught off guard by the big black horse which rushed over and knocked it down.

Two horses were killed by one horse.

"No." Gu Huaiying looked confused, "How come even Ma knows the art of war in Yunzhi Temple?"

……

After seeing off Sword King Sun and Gu Huaiying, Liang Yue returned to the Taoist temple.

Wang Rulin sat on the cushion leisurely, then praised: "Not bad, you didn't embarrass me, Yun Zhiguan."

Liang Yue chuckled.

Different people have different definitions of shame.

Some masters might feel ashamed to win in the way just now, but the master of military strategy Wang Rulin would only be proud that his disciple had inherited the true art.

"Your breakthrough to the fourth realm was a bit sudden, and you left Longyuan City very quickly afterwards, so I didn't have time to teach you the body-building method." Wang Rulin turned around and said, "Today I will teach you the Xuanmen body-building technique."

"I learned a little from Senior Sister Wen before, and have been practicing it recently." Liang Yue answered truthfully.

As he spoke, he raised one hand and slowly condensed the sun's essence. A layer of golden light gathered in his palm.

When I was in the third realm before, I had already learned this method from Wen Yifan. They were both from the Xuanmen school and were no different from what Wang Rulin was going to teach me. Later, when I broke through, I came in handy to use it.

Wang Rulin looked at him with a little surprise. This disciple was too easy to take care of.

A third-rate disciple cannot learn even after being taught, and the master is upset; a second-rate disciple can learn after being taught for a long time, and the master is worried; a first-rate disciple can learn after being taught once, and the master is relieved. Liang Yue is obviously already above the first-rate level, so he can learn without being taught?

Master gets sad easily.

and……

Wang Rulin looked at Liang Yue's concentration of the sun's essence and the moon's light, and saw how solid his muscles and bones were. He said solemnly, "Your level of body forging is already in the middle and late stages of the fourth realm? No wonder you were able to win just now. You are not at the beginning of the fourth realm at all. Instead, you are closer to the fifth realm."

"Maybe it's because I learned this method of condensation early, so I accumulated some in advance." Liang Yue smiled modestly.

"For ordinary people, the further they advance in cultivation, the slower their speed becomes. Why do you become faster as your realm becomes higher?" Wang Rulin felt that this was irrational and asked with a frown, "Could it be that there is someone in your family..."

Liang Yue was a little nervous, "What?"

Then Wang Rulin said, "Could it be that there is smoke coming out of the ancestral grave?"
