Chapter 114: The Art of War

Feng Lin smiled, and saw a few small words engraved under the painting, "How can you not know how to advance and retreat when planning the world." ”

Feng Lin's eyes flickered, and he muttered, "Even if you are planning the world, how can you easily advance and retreat." ”

Moving on, the second painting depicts a pair of large hands, fingers resting on the chessboard, fingertips on humanoid chess pieces. There is also a line of small words engraved below, "The world is like chess, and everyone in the world is a chess piece." ”

Feng Lin frowned, "How is a person who can't control his own destiny different from a chess piece? Fortunately, we still have a pair of chess players, and the success or failure is still uncertain." Fenglin whispered, and suddenly a burst of laughter rang out.

"Good success or failure is still inconclusive!hahaha......" Feng Lin turned his head, and a white-haired old man walked slowly with a feather fan in his hand.

"Falling into a chess game, becoming someone else's pawn, success or failure is in a fixed number. Only the strongest may be able to jump out of the chess game. The old man said with a soft laugh.

"Are you?" asked Fenglin.

"This afternoon I was teaching the theory of the art of war, and I am your master, Ling Changming. ”

"You taught the theory of the art of war?" I said, Master Ling, why are there so few people who come to take our course?" Zhou Qijia stepped forward and asked.

"I said Master Ling, there are thousands of cultivators, and there are four people in the first class, you are powerful enough, hehe......"

"The second, the third must not be rude. He didn't bow to Master yet. Chen Jingkou took the lead in stepping forward and saluted, "Huangfu is a Chen Jingkou"

"Zhou Qijia"

"Ye Xiushen"

"Wind and Sincerity"

"I've seen Master Ling. ”

"Huangfu is a family, Huangfu Boyan is still idle, and he even asked you to come and learn the art of war with me. It's rare!"

Ling Changming stroked his long beard, shook the feather fan lightly twice in his right hand, and sighed, "Martial arts are the art of strengthening the body, and the art of war is the way to command the army, and I haven't fought a war for many years, so there are fewer and fewer people who learn the art of war, and only a few of you are willing to listen to my old man's ramblings in this session." ”

"Soldiers, how can you not investigate the major affairs of the country? The Five Emperor Cities have resisted the demon clan for many years, and the war has never stopped, don't the current cultivators know the importance of learning the art of war?" Feng Lin wondered.

"The emperor is far away, who cares about this, now that the peace has been peaceful for a long time, all countries have withdrawn their troops, and the daily training of troops has also been completed by the commanders of the five emperor cities, so the theory of the art of war has long been abandoned. But what you said is very right, soldiers, the major affairs of the country, must be investigated. Therefore make every effort to master the art of war, so that you may need it in case of emergency. Ling Changming said.

"The so-called art of war is the law of commanding the army, which can resist foreign enemies and stabilize the territory in wartime, and stabilize the internal region and enrich the people and strengthen the army in peacetime. What I teach is the theory of the art of war, mainly to teach you the tactics of commanding troops, the formation of the enemy, and the art of trickery. The lecture is very simple, have you seen the stone platform in the center?" Ling Changming laughed softly and led the four of them to the cyan stone platform in the center.

"The name of this stone platform is 'Qingming', which is taken from the meaning of 'Shitai Qingqing Zhao Changming', although it seems to be unpretentious, if measured according to the level of equipment. You can definitely reach the ground level. ”

"Ground steps?" The four of them were dumbfounded, an ordinary stone table was actually a piece of ground level equipment, this was the first time Feng Lin had seen the treasure of the ground level, and he couldn't help but step forward to take a closer look, the stone platform was green all over, and the table top was smooth and moist, just like a mirror.

"This stone platform is made of Qingling jadeite, carved the rules of space, this platform is incomparably mysterious, it is the most precious treasure of my art of war, the stone platform is engraved with the door of space, and there are more than 100 sets of war stone formations hidden inside, these stone formations are the content I teach. As long as you have mastered all the battle formations, you will pass this course. ”

"The space path is blessed with the stone platform, which can open the door of space to summon the stone henge, and this platform is really mysterious. Feng Lin sighed.

"There's no need to teach, your Huangfu teacher loves to play imperial chess with me, I'll test your chess skills today?"

"Don't say that I bullied you, as long as you can win me, I will have my own good gifts tomorrow, how about it, who will come?" Ling Changming said with a smile.

Lin Xiushen shook his head and stepped back on his own.

"Why is it an endgame again? I'm most afraid of breaking the game, boss, you should come!" Zhou Qijia shook his head and said.

"I ...... , I'm afraid I can't either, I haven't been able to crack Master's endgame once, it's better to be the fourth!How about the fourth?" said Chen Jingkou and said to Feng Lin with a smile.

Feng Lin looked at the chess game, and frowned unconsciously, the red chess pieces were surrounded by black chess pieces layer by layer, and if he moved a step, he would lose his troops and lose his generals, and all the chess pieces were fixed by the black chess, and he could not advance or retreat. Feng Lin looked at Chen Jingkou and shook his head.

Chen Jingkou patted Feng Lin and said with a smile, "We have the best chess skills here, go and try it, just play with Master Ling." ”

Ye Xiu straightened his belly, nodded, and said with a smile, "Come on, fourth, I'll give you a chess game and win him a piece of cake." Hahaha......"

Zhou Qijia scolded, "Just you stinky chess basket, you are embarrassed to show the fourth chess game." "It was a kick when he went up, and he was kicking Ye Xiu's stomach, Lin Xiu picked it hard, and Zhou Qi's family was bounced off and fell to the ground.

"You're fat, you're mad at me. Zhou Qijia got up from the ground and was about to have a seizure, but was stopped by Chen Jingkou.

Feng Lin stepped forward, but his palm stretched forward but did not fall.

Ling Changming said with a smile, "Boy, life and death are tied to the line, you have to think about it carefully!"

Feng Lin didn't answer, as soon as his finger landed on the treasure, he immediately moved to the general, tapped it twice, and moved it on the beast.

Ling Changming was still smiling, and said softly, "Please don't ask about the marquis, it will be a success." Boy, have you figured it out?"

Lin Xiu was puzzled, "Fourth, what are you thinking? ”

Zhou Qijia sneered, "Dead fatty, don't talk nonsense if you don't move, playing chess is to rather lose a son than lose a first." If you don't understand, don't talk nonsense. ”

Chen Jingkou frowned, "The situation is so passive, the fourth child is willing to give up, not reluctant, you have to think about how to keep those important chess pieces." ”

After a while, Feng Lin withdrew his hand, shook his head, took a long breath, and his palm shot again, falling on the soldier, surprisingly, Feng Lin thought for a long time and took an innocuous step.

"Young man, what do you think again?" Ling Changming chuckled.

"My chess pieces are surrounded by you, your formation has already been laid out, and there is no point in breaking the formation from the inside, so I will use these soldiers to kill your Demon Venerable. ”

"Oh, ridiculous, do you think you can win with a few small soldiers?" Ling Changming shook his head and said, "Chess players should weigh the gains and losses and think twice. ”

"Instead of fighting the beast, it is better to stick to it and wait for change. The change of thunder will be in due time. ”

"Okay, I'll take a step to see how you can quench your thirst from far water. Ling Changming said with a smile.

"One more step ahead, unless you eat my pawns, I will only move troops. ”

"Is the fourth one confused? The little soldier walks too slowly, and besides, a small soldier can't do anything. Lin Xiushen picked his nose and said in a low voice.

"I don't know, let's take a look first!" Chen Jingkou replied.

"Boy, you're really patient! But, I'm sorry, my general push is flat, my all-out offensive has been laid out, the next step is to cut into your camp, see how you rescue?" Ling Changming said stupidly.

Feng Lin didn't look at it, but only pushed the creep forward again, "Go back to the creep." ”

Ling Changming let out a long sigh and asked, "Aren't you afraid that I will eat your chess pieces?"

Feng Lin smiled, "My chess pieces are surrounded by you, and the chess pieces are interlocking with each other to achieve a stable situation, as long as I break through, you will inevitably hit them, on the contrary, if I don't move, my chess pieces will also be restrained by my chess pieces." Unless you take the initiative to withdraw the siege, I will lose a lot. Just now I've been thinking about not which chess piece to keep first, but then to consider which chess piece is most beneficial to me to give up first, at a glance, I'm afraid only these few small soldiers are the most suitable, I use a few small soldiers to force you to withdraw from the siege, isn't it more cost-effective?"

Ling Changming stroked his long beard and laughed, "Okay, you little guy, isn't it easy! Yes, yes, this endgame has been broken by you." ”

"He is strong and weak and must defend both, and he is weak and I am strong and can run amok. The disciple was just a fluke. Fenglin arched his hand.
