The moonlight is like frost, the trees are lush, the river flows quietly, and the occasional cry of insects in the grass makes the night look even more quiet and lonely.

Although it is midsummer, the riverside is very cool at night. The river breeze blows, and Wang Xu's belt wafts on the shore. With his proud and independent posture, he looks like a god.

Looking at Zhao Xin walking in the distance, Wang Xu smiled slightly, "You are very punctual."

Zhao Xin curled his lips and thought to himself, "Will I dare not be punctual when I meet you, an old monster?"

Although I thought so in my heart, I said with a smile on my face: "Today is the first lesson you gave to my disciple, Master. I naturally don't dare to be careless. When my family rests, they will climb over the wall. Does the master have any rewards to me?"

Wang Xu smiled and said nothing, his eyes fell on the sword on Zhao Xin's waist and asked, "Is this your sword?"

Zhao Xin nodded excitedly and said proudly, "This is my uncle who gave me, but the sword made by Wu Dizi, a famous craftsman in Hancheng, blowing the sharp blade and cutting iron like mud. Hehe, it's amazing..."

Before he finished speaking, Zhao Xin felt a flash in front of him. When he looked at the concentration, the sword had been unsheathed and Wang Xu was holding it in his hand and savoring it carefully.

This sword was tailor-made by Li Dui for Zhao Xin, so the sword is only three feet long, which is very different from the big sword that fights life and death on the battlefield. It is obviously a weapon for the children of noble young men to wear and show off.

"Zheng". Wang Xu stretched out his finger to splash the sword, and his sword body trembled continuously, making a sound like a dragon's roar.

"Swords are a good sword, but it's a pity. Wu Dizi has always loved swords like crazy and is called swordsmanship. It's a pity that he can't escape from the world in the end and must be bowed to the powerful." Wang Xu said with regret, put the swords sheathed and handed them back to Zhao Xin.

In his opinion, it is a pity that a sword has fallen to the point of being a human being.

Zhao Xin took the sword and looked up and asked Wang Xu. "Master, you are so powerful, and your swordsmanship must be very good. Why didn't you see your sword?"

Wang Xu smiled slightly, "I haven't used a sword for a long time. The sword belongs to others, but the body belongs to my own. As long as I am strong enough, what's the difference between having a sword or not?"

At this time, most of the martial artists in the world were wearing swords, and swordsmanship was sought after by nobles from all countries. Wang Xu's remarks were extremely fresh, and Zhao Xin couldn't help but feel curious and asked, "Then master, what kind of martial arts are you practicing? Why are you so powerful?"

Wang Xu smiled and said, "I said that I only practiced the art of self-cultivation that strengthens the foundation and cultivates the essence. I divided the lifelong practice into seven techniques, which are called the "Seven Arts of Yin Fu in the Sutra". If you want to learn it, I will naturally teach you."

Zhao Xin was very interested and said, "What are the 'Seven Techniques of Yin Fu in this Sutra'?"

"All things are created without refusal, born without possession, and doing without reliance. Taking the seven beasts as their learning, so one is the prosperous magic method of five dragons, two is the nourishing spirit turtle, three is the real mind method of vine snake, four is the division of power method of subduing bear, five is the dispersed power method of birds of prey, six is ​​the turning round method of fierce beasts, and seven is the damage to the joy method of spiritual yarrow. Therefore, these seven beasts are the seven techniques of Yin Talismanship in this sutra."

Zhao Xin touched his head, said "Oh" with a slight understanding, but only heard a rough understanding, and said, "Then you teach me some first, I'll practice my skills."

Wang Xu nodded and agreed, so he asked Zhao Xin to sit cross-legged and dictated some magic tricks to Zhao Xin. Then, he took Zhao Xin down to meditate with him.

At first, Zhao Xin was able to practice patiently and seriously according to what Wang Xu said. After a while, he felt a little hot in his palm. He said in a slight sense of heat. "Master, are you planning to let me sit here all night?"

Wang Xu opened his eyes and said lightly, "You can't sit still in less than half an hour. Do you know how many years have you been sitting in for the teacher?"

Zhao Xin smiled and said, "Then how long do you have to practice the seven Yin Talisman techniques in this sutra? Is it invincible now?"

"Maybe."

"Maybe." Zhao Xin couldn't help but be amazed, thinking that there is someone who can be better than you, an old monster who lives in your 120s. Wouldn't that be a human being?

Wang Xu had a strange face and was silent for a moment, "Apart from one person, I think there is no one in the world who deserves my attack."

Zhao Xin was curious and asked hurriedly, "Who is that person?"

Wang Xu glanced at him, "It has nothing to do with you, so you must ask again."

He also said: "If you leave this technique, if you have high talent, you will be able to see the truth in three years, and strengthen your muscles and bones; if you can achieve small success in six years, there will not be many people in the world who can defeat you; if you can achieve great success in fifty years, it will be a world of power and hard to find an opponent."

Zhao Xin shrank his head and laughed even worse than crying: "It's so boring for such a long time. I've sat like papaya all day long. Master, do you have any quick skills? Teach me?"

Wang Xu looked at him angrily and said, "How can there be any quick practice? This is my lifelong effort in the seven techniques of Yin Fu. I don't know how many people in the world dream of it."

Zhao Xinyangtian slapped him and asked with a calm face, "Master, what is the most powerful of you, what is the most powerful one? Let me teach you first."

Wang Xu glared at him, "Then what do you want to learn?"

Zhao Xin thought for a while and said, "The Taoist technique is too slow and the erectile dysfunction is too boring. Why don't I learn the military skills from you? Look at my two senior brothers, Sun Bin and Pang Juan, are both famous generals of the generation. I think you have the strongest ability."

"You know the goods." Wang Xu smiled. "What military books have you read?"

Zhao Xin scratched his head and said embarrassedly, "I have read some of it, but I have always thought about it myself, and I don't understand many of them very much."

"Then what do you think is the most important thing to win in a war?"

"This..." Zhao Xin tilted his head and thought for a while, and said tentatively: "I think it is the general who is dedicated to the general and the soldiers use their lives. Of course, the most important thing is whether the commander's brain is good. At the critical moment, you have to calm your energy and not get in. Can you do it?"

"It's not the case." Wang Xu shook his head.

"The military has no constant power. The so-called use of troops is roughly divided into three categories, which is for military planning, military power, and military skills. From ancient times to the present, all famous generals are nothing more than these three categories."

Zhao Xin listened to the freshness and said strangely: "What is military planning, military power, and military skills?"

"Military skills focus on military skills, such as Wu Zixu's water warfare, Mo Di's method of defending the city, and Gongshu Ban's method of siege. However, this school pays more attention to the limitations of regional water conditions, and most of the things they do are side branches. Those who are good at using military personnel can use them to supplement them. If they focus on it, they will inevitably fall into the end."

"As the name suggests, the so-called military strategy means to defeat the enemy by using strange and strange strategies. Sun Wu, Wu Qi and my disciple Sun Bin are all representative figures of military strategy. This is also the mainstream of military strategists and is praised by the world."

Zhao Xin nodded, "This school sounds good, is it the most powerful one?"

"This is not." Wang Xu shook his head.

"The real military power is to be a military power."

Zhao Xin was stunned, "I haven't heard of it before."

Wang Xu nodded slightly, "All things are like water, and no one in the world is weaker than water. Once they take advantage of the momentum, no one can defeat the strong. The same is true for using troops. If they are high and powerful, they will definitely be invincible and no one in the world can defeat them."

Zhao Xin scratched his head and said in confusion: "Master, why don't I understand very much?"

Wang Xu smiled, "If you, a teenager, can you understand it so easily, then as a teacher, wouldn't you live to the dog's belly?"

"Those who are good at using military forces are using various means to build momentum for their own side. For example, military skills, Wu Zixu and Modi are using the advantages of the heaven, time and place for their own side. Therefore, Wu Zixu can defeat 200,000 Chu troops with 30,000 naval troops. The intriguing military plans are to use strange plans to make their unexpected and attack them unprepared. Sun Bin surrounded Wei and rescued Zhao, Wu Qiyin and Jin defeated the Qin army, and officially used military strategies to defeat the strong with weak."

"After all, although military strategy is divided into three categories, it is ultimately about using various methods to build momentum for one's own side, thereby reversing the strength comparison between the enemy's strong and we are weak. Therefore, military power is the king's way, and military strategy is the magic. Do you understand?"

Zhao Xin nodded with a slight understanding, "I understand it a little bit, which means that the highest level of military strategy is to be good at creating military power, and strategies and techniques can achieve this goal."

Wang Xu nodded, "That's about it, but those who use military strategy and military skills to build momentum are only a small success after all. Let me ask you again, what is the essence of war?"

Zhao Xin turned his head and smiled, "Warning is nothing more than fighting in groups. A person fights with strength and courage, while a group of people fights with command, so there is military strategy."

Wang Xu laughed, "Your statement is fresh, but it's just right, it's true."

"Since the war requires command, what is the highest level of command? It is nothing more than the soldiers who use their lives to die, and they will do whatever they want to do to go through fire and water for the Lord. Even if a million troops are instructed, they can be directed like an arm. This is what those who are good at creating military power pursue."

Zhao Xin couldn't help but fall into consciousness and hurriedly answered: "How can we do this?"

Wang Xu stretched out his two fingers, "Two methods. One is Shang Yang's method, that is, the method of strengthening soldiers. It is difficult to find famous generals, so start with strengthening soldiers. Use harsh military laws and generous rewards to bind the entire army. One head and one title, and when a deserter, the whole family will be in charge. Qin's method is like a mountain, and Qin soldiers are naturally fighting to the death. The "Tiger and Wolf Army" is also trained in this way."

"The second is to fight bravely. If the commander has extraordinary force and courage, he will lead the way, be one horse, be invincible, and be as brave as a god. The soldiers will naturally fight for the first place, putting life and death behind them, and a decisive army will naturally be unstoppable."

When Zhao Xin heard this, he couldn't help but star appeared in his eyes, with a longing expression on his face, and stood up and clenched his fists and said excitedly, "It's so glorious, I have to learn this, and I'll be excited."

Wang Xu smiled and said, "Do you think this is easy to do? For the sake of bravery, you should have extraordinary martial arts and courage, but you also need extraordinary strategy and vision to grasp the fighter's opportunity keenly, otherwise you will become the courage of an ordinary man. Also, you must have extremely high prestige in the stroke, so that you can respond to every call and serve everyone, and the best way to gain the support of the soldiers is nothing more than dazzling victory. As far as I know, no one in the world can do this."

Zhao Xin nodded repeatedly and said hurriedly, "I learn and I learn. If you want to teach me, I learn everything."

Suddenly, I thought of something and couldn't help but ask, "Master, since you are proficient in this way, why didn't my two senior brothers Sun Bin and Pang Juan learn this ability?"

Wang Xu seemed to have expected Zhao Xin to ask such a question, so he said, "Pang Juan was born in poverty. When I saw that he was arrogant and narrow-minded, he did not want to accept him as his disciple, but he knelt outside the door for five days and five nights. I was finally soft-hearted and moved by his persistence, so I took him under the door. Although he was hardworking, he was limited by his talent and could only peek at the door and not get into it."

"As for Sun Bin," Wang Xu couldn't help but pause, his expression was a little dull, and he said for a long time. "He is extremely talented and rare. He can quickly integrate what I teach him, even far beyond my expectations. The military tactics I have learned throughout my life, the essence of his deepness, and the only time he lacks. If his life lacks those bumps and thorns, he will definitely achieve something that has been unprecedented."

"It's a pity... it's a pity that his most trusted senior brother, also his best friend, Pang Juan, made him worse than death because of jealousy. His physical incompleteness made him withdrawn and paranoid. He had only the anger of revenge in his heart, and revenge became the only pursuit in his life. In the end, when Pang Juan died, he retreated into the mountains with his broken body. Even my master had never seen him again."

After hearing this, Zhao Xin sighed, and fell on the grass with his hands and his pillows. He looked up at the starry sky. He suddenly said quietly: "Master, what is the most difficult thing in the world? I think it should be the heart of the human heart. Although I am still young, I really can't understand many things, and I can't figure them out. You said that when I grow up, will you understand them all?"

Wang Xu smiled and fell to Zhao Xin's side, leaned against him with his head and said to the sky, "Your master, I have lived for more than 100 years old, and I have never seen through the hearts of people. You little kid actually want to see through the hearts of people. Are you funny or not?"

Zhao Xin turned his head, looked at Wang Xu with bright eyes, and said, "Master, are you not worried?"

Wang Xu smiled indifferently, with a look of melancholy, and said slowly: "At my age, I have experienced too much, so many things have been seen indifferently. If people want to live, they have to learn to forget, forget some people, and forget some things. Those who practice Taoism are nothing more than cultivating the mind. If you take everything lightly, you will definitely understand everything."

Zhao Xin heard some unusual smell from Wang Xu's words, but was confused and sat up and shook his head and said, "Master, I really don't understand what you said."

Wang Xu smiled slightly, stood up and reached out to pat Zhao Xin, "It's normal that you don't understand now, but you may understand in the future."

"Okay, since you want to learn, I will teach you one by one. You must study hard and not be slackened at all."
