Chapter 184: The Past (13)
Speaking of this, Dongfang Hao remembered those years, raised his head to look at the vast night sky, and finally shifted his gaze to Ning Wuji's back, and couldn't help but smile bitterly, and said: "Later, I was still forcibly left behind by Dongfang's predecessors! After I calmed down, he told me that fighting a war is not only about strategy, but also about understanding various formations, but I thought that fighting a war was just about relying on courage, because I was in contact with the art of war when I was young, and the art of war Zeng Yun, 'Fighter, Qi also! I think you must have heard these four words. ββ
Hearing her father say this, Dongfang Xue couldn't help but laugh out loud, "Hehe, my father was really enthusiastic and brave at that time, no wonder Ning Yiwu's predecessors didn't bring you! Daughter, I really didn't expect that you would be so young and vigorous when your father was so young, compared to you who are stable now, it is a world of difference!"
Hearing his daughter's sarcasm, Dongfang Hao laughed even more happily, "You girl, you dare to ridicule your father like this!"
Dongfang Xue said: "It's you who want to ridicule me about the matter between me and Ning Hongyuan, this is called one report and one report!"
Dongfang Hao smiled even more heartily, and after a long time, he stopped laughing and continued: "However, you are very right! That's all my understanding of the art of war at that time, I simply thought that whichever side is more united, then that side will win, where do you need so many rules and requirements, to fight, just charge into battle!"
Dongfang Xue said: "Father is not wrong in saying this, but the premise is that you still have to pay attention to some basic things, such as formations and the like! Moreover, the war in the Martial Realm World requires generals who are extremely good at being familiar with various formations, how can it be possible to win by blindly charging?"
Dongfang Hao said: "You girl is very right, in addition to the need for concerted efforts, war still needs some basics, such as the art of war! Speaking of which, there is another thing, which is also worth recalling me, now that these two have not yet started a duel, I will also explain it to you!"
"Another thing?" Dongfang Xue continued to ask.
Dongfang Hao looked at the bright starry sky in the distance, his eyes were full of nostalgia for the past, and after a while, he continued: "One night, Dongfang seniors asked me to play against him (a kind of chess technique that imitates the formation of soldiers), after a match, I spent three whole days how I couldn't break his formation, I realized that my ability does not lie in leading troops to fight, I don't know anything about the art of war, but I am not convinced, so I asked Dongfang seniors, so how much time did Ning Yiwu take!"
"How much time?"
Dongfang Hao smiled slightly: "Three minutes!"
"Three minutes?
"That's right, in just three minutes, he cracked the extremely difficult to crack the formation, and I only then learned that the son of the generalissimo of the soldiers and horses is worthy of being the son of the generalissimo of the soldiers and horses, and he is so familiar with the art of war, and has such profound attainments in the cooperation between various arms! β
Dongfang Xue suddenly realized, "So that's the case, I understand what Dongfang Seniors mean, he wants you to inherit his sword-forging skills and stay to do more meaningful things! I don't want my father to die in vain like this, because if my father goes to find Ning Yiwu's senior, not only will he not give my father the position of striker, but he may also bomb my father back!"
Dongfang Hao nodded with satisfaction, and said, "That's right, that's the truth, you girl!
When Dongfang Xue heard her father say this, she was shocked and asked, "Dongfang seniors also said the same? Like me?"
Dongfang Hao said: "That's right, Dongfang's predecessor also said this like you at the time, when he said that if I go to find Ning Yiwu, Ning Yiwu will only bomb me back, and it is impossible for me to be a pioneer!"
When Dongfang Xue heard this, she couldn't help laughing in her heart, "Hehe, it turns out that Dongfang seniors have such a good heart with me!"
Facing his daughter's ridicule, Dongfang Hao smiled proudly, "So, I can only stay in the end, but after doing this, I still feel very guilty in my heart, after all, this is tantamount to ingratitude, I really can't pass that hurdle in my heart! I don't have any thoughts about sword casting, and sword casting and swordsmanship can't be improved for a long time because of the knot in my heart, until Ning Yiwu personally wrote a letter!"
Dongfang Xue continued to ask: "A letter, Ning Yiwu's predecessor is so busy fighting on the front line, and he actually has time to write to you, it is enough to see that your father's status in Ning Yiwu's senior's heart is definitely not ordinary!"
Dongfang Hao said: "So, I am very grateful to him, he actually wrote me this long letter in such a busy situation, so, I brought your Ning Yiwu senior his coveted gift today! So, as soon as I heard his call, I came to him!"
Dongfang Xue said: "What kind of letter is it that allowed my father to regain his strength and not delay the forging of the sword because of the sorrow in his heart?"
Dongfang Hao said: "It was a very long letter, and after I read the letter, I woke up, he wrote a long sentence on the letter, every sentence is very sincere, time has passed, I can still remember a lot." β
Dongfang Xue said: "What is the general meaning of the letter?"
Dongfang Hao said: "The general meaning in the letter is this, your Uncle Ning Yiwu said that my life is different from ordinary people's lives, I am a person with talent, according to Ning Yiwu's words, in terms of sword casting, I am a once-in-a-century talent, and talents should do more meaningful and more difficult things, go to the battlefield and fight the enemy, this is something that most people can do, and spend decades focusing on the study of sword casting, it is not a thing that everyone can do." β
When Dongfang Xue heard this, she suddenly let out a long sigh, "Senior Ning Yiwu is worthy of being Senior Ning Yiwu, he always speaks so sharply, and he is so full of deep meaning, and at the same time, he can also make people accept his opinion!"
Dongfang Hao said: "In addition to this reason, he doesn't want your aunt to be left unattended!" At that time, after I read this letter, my tears couldn't stop dripping, I only then understood the painstaking efforts of the Oriental predecessors, so I made up my mind to follow the Oriental predecessors to study the art of sword casting, and inherited the Eastern predecessors' attainments in sword-casting, and only then did I have today's achievements, and the Oriental predecessors also left this continent and went to the new world because they finally broke through the power of the martial arts, and before leaving, he told me that he had contributed his own strength to the Tianyu culture, and hoped that I could also contribute my own strength to the inheritance of the Tianyu cultureοΌβ
Dongfang Xue suddenly had a question in her heart, turned her face sideways and asked, "Father, I have a question!"
"What's the doubt?"
"Although Ning Yiwu's predecessor is a person who is good at knowing people, but your father also said that you were easy to get angry when you were young, so why did Ning Yiwu's predecessor think that your father was the successor of the Dongfang senior? At that time, my father must have exuded some kind of charm, so that Ning Yiwu's predecessor discovered the shining point in you, and then he matched you and introduced you to the Dongfang senior, that is, my righteous grandfather. β
Dongfang Hao was not in a hurry to answer this question, and began to change the topic, "Maybe he saw that I was very talented in sword casting, so he gave me a lot of money to develop the sword casting industry, and I was apprenticed to Dongfang seniors, I originally wanted to fight the world with him, but he said that my ability was not enough at that time, and I still needed a certain degree of training, which was not suitable for dealing with the upper class, let alone dealing with those traitors." β
Dongfang Xue asked curiously, "How can this be? It won't be evaluated like this by Ning Yiwu's predecessors! What is called lack of ability!"
