Nightfall Chapter 224: General (Part 1)
Volume Two, Winter Lake, Chapter 224 General (Part I)
The method was taught to him by the Master with a stick on the terrace of the Songhe Tower. The older brother also mentioned him vaguely on the wasteland. He also thought about it when he was imprisoned in a cliff cave. 《》网.com
The method is simple and clear, and full of power. However, looking at it from another angle, it can be said to be so stupid and clumsy. It is completely inconsistent with Ning Que's superficial view of life that the sun is but gloomy.
Standing on the streets of Chang'an in late spring, Ning Que was thinking about things after autumn, sometimes passionate and sometimes gloomy, and did not notice that a rain cloud was floating from the north.
"Excuse me, Mr. Thirteen?"
Ning Que looked back and saw a man saluting himself respectfully. The man was wearing an ordinary civilian uniform, but he could not conceal the solemn aura of a soldier.
He has been a celebrity in Chang'an since last spring, but not many people have really seen him on the streets of Chang'an.
Ning Que is a little wary, especially because of the other party's identity.
The man confessed his identity in the next sentence.
"General Xu Shi, please."
……
……
The Tang Empire dominated the world with iron armor and swept the country with force. Naturally, it paid special attention to the respect of the soldiers, especially the position of the four generals.
Xu Shi, the great general of Zhenguo, has fought for decades and has won countless territories for the empire. Even Xiahou, who has been very famous in the past ten years, can only look back, regardless of his military experience or reputation. Said that he is the first person of the emperor.
Ning Que knew that the most powerful old general of the emperor had no good impression of him. He didn't know the specific reason, but he knew that sooner or later he would meet with him, but he did not expect it to be today. , I didn't expect that just after leaving the palace, he was watched by the Datang army.
General Xu Shi did not choose to be in the military headquarters, but chose to meet Ning Que in the general mansion not far from Zhuque Avenue, which seemed to indicate that this was a private conversation.
Following the man into the imposing general mansion, Ning Que frowned slightly, agitated by the murderous aura from the cold stones of the poplar trees in the mansion.
Walking into the depths of the general mansion, on a quiet platform, he saw the old general sitting beside the case.
The old general did not wear court uniforms, official uniforms, or armor. Instead, he wore a very ordinary cloth, did not grow cabbage, did not sharpen knives, but was holding a rice bowl to eat.
The food on the table is very simple, two bowls of brown rice, a bowl of pork belly, and three boiled vegetables.
The man who led Ning Que into the mansion quietly left.
Ning Que stood outside the stage, was silent for a moment and climbed up the steps, walking to the old general and bowing slightly. Temple.com
The old general said: "Sit down."
Ning Que lifted the front of the hospital uniform, Yiyan sat down and looked at the opposite side.
The old general said: "I didn't expect you to come so soon. Let me finish the meal first. Mr. Thirteen must not blame me for losing my hospitality."
Ning Que bowed his head and said in greeting: "The general's words made the younger generation panic."
The old general stopped talking and continued to concentrate on eating.
The old general’s gray hair, black cheeks full of wrinkles, a little rickety, wearing those ordinary cloths, looks like the idle old man everywhere in Chang’an, but when he picks up the chopsticks At that time, it was like holding a long spear straight into the chest of an enemy general, full of dominance.
Although the general is old, he is not an old general.
The general is the general.
Especially when facing enemies.
……
……
The pork belly gravy is mixed with brown rice, and it smells a bit fragrant. The taste must be just average, but the general eats extremely sweet. His gray beard shakes from time to time, and the three boiled vegetables were chewed by him. The puff puffs crisply, like the legendary demon heads of the underworld are chewing human bones.
Probably a habit formed in the military career. The general eats quickly, like a cloud of wind, sweeping away the food on the case, and then he picked up the teacup and rinsed his mouth.
Ning Que said: "Eating too fast and drinking tea in a hurry is not good for your health."
The general looked at him quietly and said, "No need to pretend in front of me."
Ning Que was silent, so he stopped pretending to be a junior, pretending to be gentle and considerate.
The general said: "Practitioners should be born, not enter the world."
Ning Que didn't expect that this conversation would be completely without any preparation or pretext, and he would directly enter the most critical stage, and he couldn't help being caught off guard.
He originally thought it would be a long conversation. He thought that this conversation was like boiling chicken soup and needed to compare each other’s fire, but he didn’t expect it to be violently fried. The green vegetables will become burnt and can no longer enter the throat.
"Why shouldn't you join the WTO?"
Ning Que asked after a moment of silence.
The general looked into his eyes and said indifferently: "Because for practitioners, the world is too weak, like an ant, who enters the world will easily become proud of himself."
Ning Que raised his head, looking back at the general's calm and oppressive gaze, and said: "The general has fought all over the Tang Dynasty for me, and he has also been rolling in this world for dozens of hours. Shengtang.com"
"Before I was a practitioner, I was a soldier first."
The general said indifferently: "This is the biggest difference."
Ning Que said: "I am also a soldier."
The general shook his head slowly and said: "You used to be a soldier, even a very good soldier, but unfortunately, you were not a practitioner when you were a soldier."
"What's the difference?" Ning Que asked.
The general squinted his eyes slightly, looked at him and said in a deep voice: "If you can practice in Weicheng, I will definitely nurture you and make you a great martial arts practitioner, so you can really see Understand what is going on on the battlefield, so the future stories will not happen."
Ning Que was silent for a while and said: "I don't understand what the general means."
"I have seen all your files."
The general's voice does not have any extra emotions, but is indifferent and calm, "You are indeed a good soldier, but you have not experienced real battles, there are battles of practitioners."
Ning Que was silent again. He joined the army in Weicheng when he was very young. However, the Tang Dynasty was prosperous. Even the Cavalry of the Golden Tented King Court on the grassland did not dare to provoke a little. The real war did not experience much. For several years in the Frontier Fortress Army, he really hadn't seen the performance of practitioners on the battlefield.
The general said: "People in the world think that practitioners are very powerful, but they don't know that on the real battlefield, facing the surging cavalry, practitioners are also weak."
Ning Que thought about the strong like the second brother, and couldn't agree with this statement.
The general seemed to know what he was thinking, and said coldly: "Even a strong man who knows his fate, facing the sky of crossbow arrows and the charge of thousands of heavy knights, there is still only one dead end. This is in the history of war. It has been proved countless times, do you know the reason?"
Ning Que shook his head.
The general said: "Because the practitioner's body is too fragile. Unless you can cross that threshold and break through the five realms and advance to the boundless realm, you can ignore the rain of arrows in the sky, or advance to the realm of Apocalypse, and understand what Haotian has given you. The supreme power, ignoring any impact, otherwise a single practitioner will never be an opponent of the army."
"Where are the top martial artists such as General or General Xiahou?" Ning Que asked.
General Xu Shi said: "The martial arts practitioners use the power of mind to summon the vitality of the heavens and the earth to practice physical strength. When fighting, they use the power of mind to condense the vitality of the heavens and the earth on the body surface. One person can’t kill a hundred people can’t kill. I use 10,000 people to kill, and I can always kill him. Remember, if the martial arts pinnacle can be invincible, why should the empire raise so many cavalry?"
Ning Que supported the case table with his right hand and looked at the general's sunken eyes and said: "A practitioner can replace 10,000 ordinary soldiers. Isn't that powerful?"
The general looked at him expressionlessly and said: "Among 10,000 ordinary people, there is no cultivator. Like the great cultivators of these ten thousand enemies, there are not many in the entire world. Ten thousand ordinary soldiers, the death of such a practitioner is a very cost-effective thing in the war."
Ning Que was silent for the third time.
He turned and looked at the upright poplar trees in the garden, looking at the randomly piled stones, he had to admit that the first person of the emperor had a correct and sharp view, and he couldn't refute it at all.
He knew very well what the purpose of General Xu Shi's conversation with himself was, so he was not willing to be persuaded like this. He frowned slightly and said, "But General, you and General Xiahou are also practitioners. "
At this point in the conversation, it went back to the beginning.
"The practice of martial arts is difficult and awkward. It is not decades of hard work and no results can be seen at all. Most people practice brute force, and some muscles will be abandoned halfway and become attendants of the sword master. So right As far as the practice sect is concerned, the practice of martial arts is almost tasteless."
The general said: "Only in the army, martial arts practitioners have the opportunity to grow up through **** battles. If you want to practice to the top, you don't know how many people will be killed and how many times you will be injured."
Ning Que asked: "What does this have to do with what the general wants to say?"
"What I want to say is that martial arts practitioners are all in the army, as I told you at the beginning. In the eyes of the world or in their own eyes, they are firstly disciplined soldiers, and then they are The so-called practitioners, they don’t hold umbrellas in summer, and they don’t wear clothes in winter, and they have less lust.
"I understand."
Ning Que looked at the remaining juice of the boiled vegetables in the plate and said, "But I don't understand what the general is telling me when he said these things to me."
The general looked at him expressionlessly and said: "What I want to tell you is that you are very weak, no matter how fast your realm improves, in my eyes, in front of my Datang military, you are still very weak, I say Under the order, the heavy armor Xuanqi can directly rush you to death. You only have thirteen arrows, like a knife like Liu Yiqing, how many marks can you swing? So you should not be arrogant, you must know how to respect the law of Tang." /
Ning Que raised his head, looked at the general's old cheek, and said, "I have always been law-abiding."
The general said indifferently: "I said, I checked all your files and information. Since they are all, they are naturally not limited to the records of Weicheng. I have counted how many horse thieves on the shore of Subbi Lake died under your knife. You have set fire to three hunters in Minshan, I know too."
"I said, don't pretend in front of me."
The general's voice said with a cold voice: "It's fine to kill the horse thief and chop wood, because Tang Law doesn't protect the people outside the country, but how do you explain the things in Minshan? One of the hunters has a newborn baby. , Died in the fire, how do you confess?"
"No matter how you hide in front of the Master and Your Majesty, no matter what image you are in the eyes of the world, no matter how pretentiously frivolous and ridiculous after you come to Changan, you can't change that fact. You are a shameless, cold, ruthless, greedy, greedy, and killer. Shameless villain."
Ning Que lowered his head again to remain silent.
He didn't expect that once the Datang military fully investigated someone, it would be able to find such a long past. At this time, he felt that his clothes suddenly disappeared without a trace, as if he was completely naked.
This feeling is not shame or guilt, but vigilance, because he never thought of himself as a good person, nor did he think about being a good person.
In order to be able to survive, in order to be able to live Sangsang, he can do anything, killing and setting fire is just waiting, the evil deeds exposed by the generals are just a very inconspicuous fragment of those **** years. , How can a person like him be a good person.
Xu Shi looked at him and said with disgust: "Ning Que, you can't make a stroke and a stroke."
There is dead silence between the stations.
……
……
Ning Que suddenly raised his head, looked at Xu Shi on the opposite side of the case table, smiled and asked, "General, is there really a clean and innocent person like Bai Xue?"
The general looked at him and laughed slightly and said, "Want to use the filth of others to comfort your own uncleanness?"
Ning Que shook his head and said: "The general said that the martial arts practitioners are not easy, and the suffering of Datang soldiers, in my opinion, is actually a bit boring, because you have not experienced my life. Naturally, I can’t understand my choice back then."
He looked at the general and smiled and said: "In the wild and wild forests, you were caught by a hunter. I don’t know why, maybe it’s just because you stole a rabbit from his lasso a dozen days ago, or Because that Orion was originally a **** rabbit, and maybe because that Orion was a relative of the old **** Orion, in any case, he wanted to kill you, what would you do?"
The general frowned slightly.
Without waiting for the general to speak, Ning Que continued to smile and said, "Don’t forget, you were less than ten years old, exhausted and weak due to malnutrition. You still have a five- or six-year-old girl by your side, and you still suffer. Injury, there is no weapon around, as long as the fire is hidden in the crotch, and then you are just locked in the wood room."
"I don't know what you will do, General."
"But I will definitely light the thatch and dry wood in the wood house."
"I don't care if the Orion will die, or if there is a baby in the room. Even if there is a paralyzed man in his room, I will still light the fire."
The smile on Ning Que's face was gentle, and the expression in his eyes was calm.
