Not to mention the 100% hit control vein Qiankun gossip, as soon as Zhuge Liang walked out of the seven-star step, Meng Shu and Zhu Rong would be dizzy after chasing him a few times, let alone touching half of his clothes. When Zhuge Lian's crossbow reached their hearts, they were already exhausted and panting, and hurriedly raised their hands to surrender.

At this time, the two of them really knew that there was a sky outside the sky, and there were people outside the world, and they admired Zhuge Liang so much.

Let the two of them guard the door, Shi Xin officially discussed the upgrade plan with Zhuge Liang. Without the shackles of government affairs, Zhuge Liang was able to upgrade with all his strength, and he had risen to the peak of the eighth rank, and Shi Xin came back at the right time.

Everything went according to the original plan, Zhuge Liang sat on the couch, first took the Bu Yuan Dan and Kang Yuan Dan, and waited for the true qi to be full.

Shi Xin put one hand on his shoulder, emitting purple qi to protect his heart at all times.

After a while, the elixir began to work, and at the critical moment of rushing the acupoint, the demon came as promised.

An old man with a white beard slowly appeared, with four fleshy moles on his head, which was the legendary elephant of ghosts.

Zhuge Liang is extremely smart, and at the moment ago, he reminded himself to always pay attention to the arrival of the demons in his heart, and he must stay awake. But when he saw the old man, his mood suddenly wavered, and he had already forgotten the previous reminder, and he didn't realize that he had fallen into the demons in his heart.

In fact, the heart demon is the only way to ascend to the leyline, whether it is a sensitive mind or a person with dull qualifications, as long as it is a pulse master, it is inevitable.

Zhuge Liang is very human, and he can still maintain the last moment of sobriety before falling into the demons, which is enough to be proud of the world.

"Isn't the predecessor Mr. Guiguzi?" Zhuge Liang was rarely excited.

"Yes, it's the old man!" Guiguzi's voice was a little ethereal, "There are a few questions that need to be asked to you when you appear this time. ”

Zhuge Liang became sincerely afraid, "What does the ancestor want to teach me?"

"What is a soldier?"

"Soldiers, the major affairs of the country, the place of death and life, and the way of survival, must not be overlooked. ”

Guiguzi was noncommittal, "Go on!"

"Soldier, treacherous!"

Zhuge Liang was about to continue, when he suddenly heard Guiguzi scolding loudly: "Nonsense!"

Zhuge Liang was shocked by his sudden shock, and he panicked in his heart, and involuntarily knelt down, sweating like a pulp. At the same time, he couldn't figure it out in his heart, he had read Sun Tzu's Art of War more than 10,000 times, and not a single word was wrong just now, why did it cause Guiguzi's thunderous anger?

Guiguzi gave the answer.

"Since you said that war is the top priority of a country, and later you said that it is treachery to use troops to fight, and that it is a big country, can you win over people with treachery?"

"This ......"

Zhuge Liang was asked for a while. In fact, he already had the answer in his mind, but because of the pressure of Guiguzi, he didn't have time to say it.

The original meaning of Sun Tzu's Art of War is not that every war is won by deceit, but that war is full of uncertainties, and if you want to be invincible, you must not only play cards out of common sense, but also attack the enemy's weaknesses.

If you have the ability, you should pretend that you are not capable, if you actually want to attack but pretend not to attack, if you want to attack near but pretend to attack the distance, if you want to attack the far place but pretend to attack the near place.

If the enemy is greedy for profit, he will tempt him with profits, if the enemy is chaotic, he will take the opportunity to attack him, if the enemy is strong, he will be guarded against, if the enemy is irritable and irritable, he will be angry and lose his mind, if the enemy is inferior and cautious, he will be arrogant, if the enemy is full of physical strength, he will be tired, and if the enemy is close and united, he will sow discord, and he will attack the place where the enemy is defenseless, and launch an attack at a time when the enemy does not expect it.

This is what Zhuge Liang is going to say next, but he was unexpectedly stopped by Guiguzi.

"Even a three-year-old child can memorize what you said, and then talk about it!"

Zhuge Liang swallowed his spit, and elaborated his arguments from many aspects, but none of them satisfied Guiguzi. As time passed, Guiguzi's eyes became sharper and sharper, his pressure became more and more intense, and finally it became difficult to breathe.

"Is it because my Taoism is too shallow? I can't even answer this kind of basic question, is it too brazen for me to occupy the position of the First Army Division for so long?"

Zhuge Liang has always been a confident person, but what he is in front of is a historically recognized sage, he will not be wrong, in front of him, Zhuge Liang doubted himself for the first time.

"Let me ask you again, what is a soldier?"

Guiguzi's tone became more and more severe, and his right hand was raised high, if Zhuge Liang couldn't answer, I am afraid that he would flee and face annihilation.

At this moment, Zhuge Liang's mind suddenly flashed. Cool text

"Could it be that the answer that the ancestor wants is not the art of war at all, but the way to govern the country?"

Thinking of this, he hurriedly said: "War, the most fundamental thing is to unify the people, and the monarch implements benevolent government!"

Guiguzi's raised hand suddenly stopped, and his tone slowed down, "Go on." ”

Following this line of thought, Zhuge Liang talked eloquently: "As long as the people are attached and the people's hearts are unified, the army under his command will become a division of victory." Wherever the people support, the troops will be continuous, and the effect of surrendering the army without a fight can be achieved. ”

Guiguzi finally put his hand down, and his tone became calm, "Very good, keep talking." ”

With Guiguzi's approval, Zhuge Liang's spirit was shocked, and he felt that his thoughts were like a spring, and he spoke endlessly.

Outside the demons.

Shi Xin saw that Zhuge Liang was smiling all the time, and thought that the first wise man was really extraordinary, and he could always stay awake while breaking through. He even thought that Zhuge Liang could break through the barrier and survive the test of the demons in his heart.

When the smile on Zhuge Liang's face disappeared, from calm to panic, and then to pale and cold sweat, Shi Xin began to find that no matter how powerful you are, the demons in your heart are always pervasive.

As Zhuge Liang further fell into the demons in his heart, the meridians also became disordered, and the strong true qi rushed left and right in the body, running rampant, and the meridians began to be traumatized.

However, Zhuge Liang's situation is a little better than Cai Yan at the beginning, after all, his physique is also stronger. Shi Xin has experienced the upgrade of himself and Cai Yan, and with his current level, he can always control Zhuge Liang's injuries within an acceptable range.

Those who are worried, idealistic demons!

"Very good, I am satisfied with your answer. In the heart of the demon, Guiguzi smiled for the first time, nodded and said: "You have to remember that to win the battle, all the art of war is in vain, and it will always be guaranteed by a strong national strength." Even if the national strength is not strong for a while, as long as the benevolent government is implemented and the hearts and minds of the people are won, the country will always be strong. This is the relationship between the people and the state. Taking 10,000 steps back, as long as the people's will is desired and the national strength is strong, what does it matter if we lose one or two battles? ”

Zhuge Liang scratched his head, he didn't expect Guiguzi to say so bluntly, and he didn't know how to answer with a smile. But he said it well and reasonably, this is the ultimate meaning of the so-called war, it is money and unity that fights!

Therefore, how to help the country become strong and prosperous, and how to make the people want, this is the first problem to be solved by the ministers. Of course, I am not saying that strategy and tactics are not important, and that every war achieves maximum benefit with the lowest attrition, which is the dream goal of every commander-in-chief. But that's a second thing to governing the country, you know what I'm saying?"

How could Zhuge Liang not understand the reason? But the world is often like this, every victory has made the military advisors and generals famous, but the Wenchen as the rear has always been forgotten.

That's the kind of mentality he's in at the moment. What young man doesn't want to be admired by 10,000 people? Especially in the position of military advisor, in the midst of strategizing and winning a decisive victory thousands of miles away, no matter how powerful the generals are, they have to obey their orders, and sometimes even the lord obeys his words.

Zhuge Liang was almost immersed in this sense of accomplishment and couldn't extricate himself.

After being reminded by Guiguzi, he suddenly woke up and realized anew where the root of the war was.

An hour later......

Shi Xin's true qi was faintly showing signs of exhaustion, this discovery shocked him quite a bit, Zhuge Liang's mood had obviously stabilized, why hadn't he woken up for a long time? If this continued, the meridians would begin to be damaged.

"Okay, after all the talk, I've said everything I need to say. Your Guigu Mental Method was created by me in the early stage, and cultivating to the eighth rank is the limit. I will pass on the part of my later creation to you now, and I can cultivate to the tenth rank! I hope you will inherit my mantle and carry forward the Guigu faction!"

"Master Xie is very loving, and the disciple listens!"

Shi Xin's face was pale, the purple light flickered and dimmed, and his hand was already trembling slightly.

"Kong Ming, Kong Ming, if you don't come out again, I won't be able to stand it!" He only dared to shout in his heart, for fear that the slightest sound would affect Zhuge Liang.

"Huh?" Shi Xin suddenly stopped shouting.

Through the identification of purple qi, the true qi that was wantonly rushing in Zhuge Liang's body was suddenly controlled, and they rushed to the last pass of the Du Pulse one after another, making a huge impact on the acupoints.

After a while, True Qi successfully broke through the prohibition, and Zhuge Liang was promoted to a ninth-rank pulse master!

Zhuge Liang slowly opened his eyes, and a dazzling light flashed from the surface of his eyes, disappearing and disappearing, and finally returned to calm.

Shi Xin sat down on the couch and took a few breaths, and finally panted and said, "Kong Ming, if you don't come back, I'm going to collapse." ”

Zhuge Liang turned over and stood up, his expression became panicked, "Lord, you lie down and rest first." The subordinates were instructed by Guiguzi just now, and they chatted for a long time, and they forgot that the lord was taking care of them outside. I have to memorize and practice the rest of the Guigu Mental Method in a short period of time, so I have lost some time......"

Hearing Zhuge Liang say this, Shi Xin immediately became tired, took Zhuge Liang's hand, and asked in surprise: "What did you talk about? What kind of ghost valley heart method? Isn't it very rebellious?"

"Uh...... , it is the ninth layer of the Guigu Mental Method, as for whether it is against the sky or not, I don't know for the time being. However, the words of Guiguzi's predecessors made me suddenly open my mouth and benefited a lot, and I feel that my wisdom has improved a lot all of a sudden!"
