Gu Cheng didn't know how long he had been stuffed in the burlap bag, and he was finally lifted from his hijab. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Gu Cheng first took a deep breath before he came back to life.

"We've arrived. ”

The next moment, he glanced at it, and realized that they had reached a deep mountain, where there was no grass and barrenness, and in the middle of this barren mountain there was only a dilapidated log cabin.

Looking at this abandoned mountain, Gu Cheng really couldn't figure out what he could do in this barren mountain and wilderness?

Gu Cheng thought like this, and subconsciously asked Hongmu, "What should I do?"

"You have to persuade a man to go out of the mountain. Redwood replied.

"Who?" Gu Cheng was stunned.

"The man's name is True Wisdom. ”

"Please elaborate. The witch on the side said.

Hongmu said: "Zhenzhi is a very eloquent person, if he can win him with braids, he will be willing to go out of the mountain, if he goes out of the mountain to help us, we are equivalent to controlling the direction of the entire reading mountain, then defeating Dong Xiquan is twice the result with half the effort, but he has a shortcoming, this shortcoming is his strength, but also his preferences." ”

"His flaw is his liking?" Wu Ting wondered.

"He has only one preference, likes to argue with others about strategy, once he argues, he is easy to be affected by emotions, although we all know his weakness, but the people we sent are defeated in his mouth one by one, in the final analysis, his eloquence is too good. Mahogany smiled wryly.

Gu Cheng thought for a moment and said, "Then I'll just give it a try." ”

Redwood nodded slightly, and handed the incense that had been lit by the three sticks to Gu Cheng, "Time is running out, you have to act as soon as possible, otherwise your mark will reveal your whereabouts." ”

"Sigils?"

"You haven't even noticed?" Mahogany looked surprised.

Redwood frowned slightly, can a person who can't even detect the mark convince True Wisdom?

Redwood just thought that this person was recommended by Elder Ouyang, and he had to dispel his suspicions, so he had to patiently explain:

"Dong Xiquan sent someone to put a mark on you, and every time an hour passes, the mark will reveal your whereabouts, and I can't crack this mark for a while, so you only have half an hour left to do things. ”

"In other words, if Gu Cheng can't win the True Wisdom within the time of the four incense sticks, he will be discovered by Dong Xiquan?" Wu Ting asked.

"Exactly. "Redwood Road.

"Didn't you say it earlier?" Gu Cheng was stunned.

"Because there's no time to explain. Redwood shrugged.

Gu Cheng's expression was slightly furious, and he felt like he was on a thief ship, but at this moment, he had no choice.

"I'm not good at scheming, but I'll give it a try. Gu Cheng's eyes narrowed slightly, "What kind of strategy is he arguing with you?"

"He can only plan three kinds of plans, and these three plans are the plan to kill, the plan to make friends, and the plan to foresee. Redwood replied.

Gu Cheng's brows furrowed tightly, thinking to himself, these three strategies can derive countless methods, if you really want to argue, I'm afraid it will take a few days and nights, not to mention, there is only four pillars of incense time now!

Besides, Gu Cheng is self-aware, although his eloquence is not bad, he definitely can't argue with that mouth that can fight the crowd.

Just as this fire burned his eyebrows, an idea suddenly flashed in Gu Cheng's mind.

"I know how to win him with pigtails. Gu Cheng said to the mahogany, his eyes no longer confused.

"Oh?" said Redwood, surprised

"That's it..... Don't braided with him. Gu Cheng said seriously.

Mahogany sneered in vain, and said sarcastically: "If we can invite him out of the mountain without braiding him, we have already done it, why use you?", after saying that, Mahogany restrained his smile and said solemnly: "This is a competition with life as a guarantee, you don't want to play with children's play, don't waste time." ”

"There's plenty of time. Gu Cheng said with a confident face, "If your information is correct, he is really a person who loves to argue and can drill the horns, then I don't need three incense sticks, I only need one stick of incense time to win him." ”

Wu listened to Gu Cheng's words and said, "I believe in Gu Cheng. ”

Redwood shook his head and didn't continue.

"Follow me. Redwood turned and walked towards the cabin.

Under the guidance of Mahogany, Gu Cheng entered the only abandoned hut in the barren mountain, and when he arrived here, Wu Ting and Mahogany were not allowed to enter again, so Gu Cheng had to push open the door alone.

With a "squeak" sound, Gu Cheng walked into the house.

There were cracks everywhere in the house, and light was shining through the cracks. I saw piles of books piled up in the room, and under this pile of scrolls, a figure was earnestly watching the recitation of the scriptures.

It was a man in full-body armor, huge in size, three meters tall, and the armor covered his entire body, with almost no gaps.

Gu Cheng was stunned for a moment, this scene was like seeing a military general in battle armor reciting scriptures.

"Click-"

A sound of armor turning sounded, and the armor man turned around and said quietly to Gu Cheng, "Who is coming?"

This was a man's voice, but the tone was an octave higher, higher than that of a woman, and Gu Cheng felt harsh when he heard it.

"Redwood sent me. Gu Cheng hugged his fists.

The armor man suddenly understood, turned his head and continued to read, and said, "I'm doing this useless work again, I said it, I won't go out of the mountain to help you." ”

Gu Cheng heard from the words that this person seemed to be true wisdom. Gu Cheng saw that Zhenzhi was not interested in him, so he immediately changed the topic: "I heard that there is a wise man in the mountain, named Zhenzhi, who is good at arguing with others, so I want to give it a try as soon as possible, and I hope to achieve it." ”

"I'm just the Wisdom. Zhenzhi still lowered his head and read the book, and said coldly, "Haven't you heard about me in the mouth of Mahogany?"

"It's because I've heard about it that I came here. Gu Cheng said with a smile.

"Oh?" Zhenzhi raised his head, paused slightly, and glanced at Gu Cheng, "Report your name." ”

"Gu Cheng, the first mouth in Reading People Mountain. Gu Cheng's tone was softened, pretending to be honest.

Zhenzhi laughed out loud in vain, "Dare to call yourself the number one mouth in front of me, it's really bold." ”

"Can't you believe it, might as well try it with me, won't you?" Gu Cheng smiled.

"Since you insist on braiding with me, I'll let you have three plans first, and you can make plans. True wisdom said nonchalantly.

Gu Cheng shook his head and stretched out his hand to refuse, "Since I am the number one mouth, I don't need others to be polite, please make a move first." ”

"Hehe, then I'll see. sneered nonchalantly, "Then I'll make a plan first." ”

As he spoke, Zhenzhi stood up, his armor clicked between his manners, he walked to the pile of scrolls, took out a scroll casually, and threw the scroll to Gu Cheng.

"It's a volume of murderous schemes, you go through it first. ”

Gu Cheng pondered for a while, opened the scroll, glanced at it, and his brows suddenly furrowed, "Hey—"

The scroll is full of dense words, recording a large number of murder schemes, these schemes are recorded by examples, most of them are some folk assassination cases, even if Gu Cheng has the help of demon bones, it is impossible not to spend a day reading it.

Gu Cheng unintentionally glanced at the three sticks of incense in his hand, and understood that his life was hanging on the line.

Gu Cheng grinned, closed the scroll, returned it to Zhenzhi, and sneered: "This is a butcher's plan, I don't care about it." ”

"The butcher's plan?" said Zhenzhi's eyes lit up.

Gu Cheng smiled secretly, walked a few steps, closed his eyes slightly, and said: "It is the strategy used by those who are full of blood, this strategy can only be used to secretly take the lives of others, this is the strategy of the weak, not the strategy of the strong, I disdain it." ”

"Oh?"

Zhenzhi thought about it for a while, changed his opinion of Gu Cheng slightly, and said, "Okay, interesting." ”

Machi took out another scroll from the stack, and this one was much larger than the one he had just had.

"It's a handover plan. True wisdom said slowly, "Those who are good at making friends can reach people in all directions, and can make people submit by this, not the strategy of a bloody butcher, but the strategy of a wise man, worthy of the wisdom of a brother." ”

Before the scroll arrived, Gu Cheng had already reached out and pushed the book away, pushing the scroll back in front of Zhenzhi, "No, this is a layman's plan, I disdain it." ”

"The plan of the laity?" said the real person, slightly surprised.

"It is the strategy used by those who win fame and fortune, this strategy can only rely on others, or rely on the mountain, it is also the strategy of the weak, not the strategy of the strong, why should I seek it?"

"Good!"

Zhenzhi laughed in vain, "The person who can respect the strong and can realize the enlightenment, this is the only person I have ever seen." ”

Zhenzhi threw all the scrolls on his body aside, and first bowed solemnly to Gu Cheng, "Please Brother Gu enter my stone room, there are more books in the stone room, please!"

Gu Cheng returned the salute with his fists clenched, his face was serious, but he couldn't stop laughing in his heart.

As he spoke, a "boom-" sounded, and under those scrolls, an underground secret door suddenly appeared, and in the blink of an eye, the torch in the room was suddenly lit.

"I have a plan! Machi said excitedly.

-----------------------

At this moment, just outside the abandoned hut, a field of pigeons suddenly flew in the sky.

"Oh no. ”

When he saw the pigeon rushing towards him, Redwood knew something was wrong.

The pigeon landed on Mahogue's shoulder, and Mahogany quickly removed the creed from the pigeon's feet, and his face changed when he opened the note.

"What's going on?" Wu Ting asked lightly.

Redwood was startled, looked at the note and said: "There is a variable, Dong Xiquan suddenly wants to check the warehouse, and now.... Not even a stick of incense is enough. Redwood quickly burned the note, his face turned pale, and he raised his head slightly: "He wants to come out as soon as possible!"

"Stand still. ”

Just as Redwood was about to break into the cabin, Wu Ting suddenly stretched out his hand and stopped Redwood.

Wu Ting said: "Gu Cheng said that if you don't need a stick of incense, you must not need a stick of incense, and now the time of a stick of incense has not passed, I believe Gu Cheng." ”

Hongmu paused for a moment, and said hurriedly: "Do you know who Zhenzhi is? He has fought against all the famous mouths in Yueren Mountain, and almost all of them have been defeated by him, the possibility of Gu Cheng defeating him is very small, and now he has to make a bet for this incense time, is it worth it?"

"I believe in Gu Cheng. Wu Ting repeated.

As soon as the words were spoken, the pigeons were so anxious that they kept flapping their wings and kept making noise, as if they were not satisfied with what Wu had heard.

Seeing this, Mahogany knew that the situation was even more serious than she thought, and could not help but sigh and calm the pigeon.

---------------------

Abandoned huts.

At this moment, Gu Cheng walked into the stone room with Zhenzhi.

Stone chamber caves can be found everywhere, and many books are placed in these caves.

"This book has been treasured by me for many years, and these are the only ones in the city. True wisdom complacently displayed the scroll.

Gu Cheng took out a bamboo slip from the cave, looked at it twice, and his face was still not happy.

Zhenzhi's eyes narrowed slightly, and his momentum loomed, pressing towards Gu Cheng like a big wave: "The plan of foresight is all-encompassing, and those who are proficient in the plan of foresight can strategize and calculate all the variables, which is equivalent to mastering the art of peeping into the sky." ”

"Oh?" Gu Cheng pretended to glance at the book.

"This plan is profound, it is by no means comparable to the strategy of butchers and laymen, what do you think, Brother Gu?"

Gu Cheng's face changed, he casually threw the bamboo slip aside, shook his head and said, "This is a plan of Yashi, and it is not for me to use." ”

Zhenzhi's face turned gloomy, and he said, "Yashi's plan?"

Gu Cheng Kankan said: "It is a strategy used by scholars who are divorced from reality, this strategy can only be used to talk about theories, can only be regarded as leisure and interest, not the strategy of the real strong, besides, the world is changeable, only one person can not count all the variables, and the real strategy of the strong should be changeable, to change!"

As soon as Gu Cheng's words came out, Zhenzhi's face changed greatly, he was helpless, angry and ashamed, but he didn't expect that the three strategies he had studied for many years were so unbearable by Gu Cheng.

Zhenzhi snorted coldly and put away the bamboo slip book with one hand.

This subtle movement was noticed by Gu Cheng, Gu Cheng pretended to be disappointed, looked up to the sky and sighed, and wanted to turn around and leave, "It seems that there is no strong man's plan here, I will go for nothing." ”

As soon as the words came out, Zhenzhi was stunned, and hurriedly chased after him, and said in a deep voice: "I can't go out of retreat, just to realize these three strategies with a great understanding, and now according to what you said, these are all the strategies of the weak, so what is the strategy of the strong?"

Gu Cheng didn't look back, and still walked out towards the gate of the stone room.

Zhenzhi looked at Gu Cheng with a blank eye, clenched his fists, and bowed sincerely: "I still hope that my brother will teach me." ”

Gu Cheng smiled secretly, waiting for this moment, turned around, and said calmly: "The plan to fight for hegemony, the plan to be called the king, and the plan to become a saint, these three plans are the strategy of the strong!"

"Ba, Wang, Sheng?" said Zhenzhi in shock and confusion.

"Killing, handing over people, and foreseeing are all just small tricks, and the real strong man's plan is to be able to influence the entire overall pattern, and even.... This is the plan of the whole world, the king, the saint!"

Zhenzhi was stunned, dumbfounded, and even more surprised, but he couldn't refute Gu Cheng.

Gu Cheng pointed to the heaven and earth, "You have been staying in such a place all your life, can you know what the outside world is like? The world is endless, but your vision is only in the house, only in the city, how can you understand the real plan of the strong?"

True Wisdom felt the same way, but shook his head and sighed: "It's just that in this Liancheng, how can it affect the world pattern?"

Before he finished speaking, Gu Cheng's eyes flashed with a glimmer of essence, and he preemptively said, "Then what if you go out of Liancheng and break out of the natural realm?"

"Breaking through the natural realm?" was really stunned, and the whole person was stunned.

"That's right, there is a new realm, the strong can seek spirits, gods, heaven, and land!"

As soon as the words fell, Zhenzhi was taken aback, and his heart was not without admiration.

Gu Cheng continued: "There is no end to the strategies in the world, Sun Tzu's Art of War, Wu Zi's Art of War, Kong Ming's Art of War, Liutao's Art of War, have you heard of this Art of War?"

Zhenzhi shook his head.

"Borrowing a knife to kill people, making something out of nothing, diverting the tiger from the mountain, empty city plan, bitter meat plan, beauty plan..... Have you heard of it again?"

Machi shook his head again.

Although Zhenzhi had never heard of these schemes, let alone understood them, as soon as he heard the names of these schemes, he felt suddenly enlightened and his vision broadened.

Gu Cheng's several angry words fell, and Zhenzhi's heart was like a surging sea, and it was difficult to maintain his composure.

Gu Cheng knew that the time had come, so he stretched out his hand, "The world is so big, don't you want to go and see it?"

Zhenzhi pondered for a while, pondered what Gu Cheng said, and then clapped his hands and said: "Brother Gu, listening to you, I am very inspired! Now it seems that my vision is too narrow, I should look at the world! I must make the best of the world!"

"Okay!" Gu Cheng immediately hugged his fist and said, "Brother Zhenzhi has such an ambition, he should go out of the mountain immediately, in this way, I will not make this trip in vain." ”

"Exactly!" said Wisdom, full of ambition.

The two reached an agreement and made up their minds to make a difference.

Zhenzhi and Gu Cheng walked to the exit, and Zhenzhi casually picked up a torch from the wall, "I will burn the book as a proof, and I will not return, so I am wise!"

"Good!"

"Poof—"

threw the torch directly into the cave, and the flames ignited, which soon turned into a raging fire, thick smoke rising from the cracks in the house.

At this moment, clouds of smoke hung high on the roof.
