As the current head of Wudang, Li Xuantong's ability and foresight are naturally worthy of his status as the head of the school. Chen Letian knows this very well.

There are hundreds of thousands of cultivators in this world, but there are very few of them. The reason for this is that, as the master said, if cultivation was a simple thing that could be standardized and stylized, then the great master would have been gone everywhere long ago.

The night was thick and the moonlight was cold, shining on Chen Letian's face.

The pain of a snake bite on the leg is getting more and more intense, and the pain has spread from the calf to the thigh, and it has a tendency to continue to go up. He didn't know what kind of poisonous snake had bitten it, but it must have been deadly venom on the fangs.

Third Senior Brother... Oh no, strictly from the seniority, it should be Chen Letian's third uncle, Tortoise Meng, with a lot of pills in his hand, according to Tortoise Meng and Chen Letian, as long as it is injured by poison in the Heavenly Dao Forest, whether it is scratched, scratched or bitten, his pills can be saved.

If it weren't for this, Chen Letian wouldn't dare to lean here to look at the moon at this moment, and would have opened his throat and shouted for help. But although you won't die or be disabled, the pain is real.

"It really fucking hurts!" Chen Letian already felt that the entire injured leg was no longer felt from the waist down.

He simply sat up straight, put his unconscious legs in a meditative position, pinched the finger gestures he had learned from his master, closed his eyes and began to concentrate on breathing.

After a while, he suddenly opened his eyes, and wisps of heaven and earth aura suddenly appeared in front of his dark eyes, circling up from under the Heavenly Dao Cliff. At first, there were three or five wisps of white aura, then dozens of wisps, and then countless wisps of aura, which appeared in front of Chen Letian's eyes.

Chen Letian's heart suddenly moved, and he remembered what his master said to him a few days ago:

There is a saying in the use of soldiers: "I dare not be the master, but the guest, and I dare not advance an inch, but retreat." "It is said that there is no line of action, and there is no arm. Throw invincible, hold no soldiers. There is no greater misfortune than underestimating the enemy, and underestimating the enemy will lose a few treasures. Therefore, the resistance is similar, and the mourner wins.

This is a passage in the Tao Te Ching, which roughly means that when using soldiers, the most taboo is to underestimate the enemy, and underestimating the enemy is the greatest evil. As long as a general can never underestimate the enemy, it is difficult for him to fail.

Although Chen Letian has not memorized the Tao Te Ching to the extent of reversing it, he has read it briefly, but he does not have a deep understanding of the meaning of the text.

This is also normal, whether it is the Confucian Analects or the Tao Te Ching of Taoism, although they are all things for introductory enlightenment on the surface, but this kind of classics can be read for a lifetime. This is what you read at the age of ten, and it may be the exact opposite when you read it at the age of fifty.

So when the master told him about this text, he didn't think he understood everything, but was confused.

In the army, he never underestimated the enemy, even if he faced the weakest desert horse thief, even the so-called elite soldiers in Xiliang who could not wear proper armor, as long as he picked up the spear and fought in front of the battle, he would be careful and prepare everything he could.

The lion fights the rabbit, not to mention that he is not a lion, and the enemy is not a rabbit, at most it is the difference between a thousand miles and an ordinary horse.

"Master, what kind of dumb riddle are you playing with me?" Chen Letian thought in his heart.

The aura of heaven and earth in front of him was intertwined, but no matter how hard Chen Letian tried, he couldn't inhale the slightest aura into his own qi veins. He was in a hurry, and the feeling was like that of a poor man standing in a pile of gold and silver, but he could not hold a single piece of silver.

The venom had eroded his other leg and was immobile. There was a hint of panic in his mind, but he soon regained his composure. He knew that as long as he shouted now, someone would definitely come to his rescue. But he didn't want to admit it so quickly, he wanted to stand up for a while.

In this situation of near death, he can hone him the most, which is the bloody truth he realized in the battlefield battle.

He couldn't remember how many times his life hung by a thread, and how many times he was close to death was the thickness of a piece of rice paper. Now that I think about it, his luck is really rare in the world, and he has jumped alive until now.

The moonlight shone above his head, and he suddenly remembered a small thing.

I don't remember how many years ago, it was a spring, when the grass was growing and the grass was growing, the general took the forward battalion to patrol the border. In a wasteland on the border with Wei, he encountered a gang of horse thieves. After consulting the general, the leader of the forward battalion immediately ordered Chen Letian's army of ten people to attack.

Chen Letian was happy as if he had won a commendation, and led the robes to ride up the horses, detoured, and suddenly appeared in front of the horse thief.

The horse thieves were startled, but they did not panic, and they met them in style. After several rushes and killings of more than a dozen horse thieves, Chen Lecai reported the name of the Northern Army of the Great Song Dynasty. The horse thieves immediately turned around and ran.

Chen Letian ten people chased after him. After a while, they were chased behind a hillside. But suddenly the horse thieves were gone.

Chen Letian immediately sensed that something was wrong and ordered a retreat, but it was too late. No less than five hundred horse thieves poured down all around.

The first time he encountered a horse thief who dared to use tricks in the face of the soldiers of the Northern Army, Chen Letian couldn't tell whether he was excited or angry, and there was a trace of worry in his heart for no reason.

What happened after that was even more terrifying. The five hundred horse thieves did not attack, but besieged but did not attack. No matter how Chen Letian and his ten people call the formation, the horse thieves carrying all kinds of weapons are all kind of you come to fight.

One day and one night.

It was not until the other brethren of the forward battalion arrived that the horse thieves dispersed. In the middle, they tried to break out of the encirclement, but to no avail, and even injured several brothers. The bandits are also very strange and do not kill you, but for the obvious purpose: to besiege you, not to kill you.

Every time they break through, their hearts that were originally as hard as iron will soften. Chen Letian began to understand the true intention of this group of horse thieves: to psychologically drag Chen Letian's group down, and on the other hand, to teach other horse thieves a lesson and let them know that the Northern Army is not invincible in the world.

After being rescued, Chen Letian, as the commander of the army, was tied up in the camp by the general and whipped a hundred times to set an example. The charge was a major error in command.

Of course, Chen Letian was punished this time. If he hadn't been careless, he wouldn't have fallen into the encirclement of horse thieves.

Later, more than a year later, the general told him that the horse thieves' plan had already been known to the Northern Army strategists, and the general deliberately let those horse thieves surround Chen Letian and his army for a day and a night before ordering to save people. At first, he ordered them to attack, which was also the intention of the general.

After thinking about it for a long time, Chen Letian finally figured out the thoughts of those horse thieves and understood the general's intentions.
