The canopy of this primeval forest was dense. Looking down from the sky, it looked like a huge green carpet. After blocking the sun, it also made dusk come earlier.
"It's not that I'm leading the way. It's just that there's a problem with the terrain here."
Helian Beifang explained.
They didn't have a clear destination, so they could go anywhere they wanted. But here, something went wrong.
"What happened?"
Li Ruolan had an excited look on her face. She wanted this kind of surprise and this kind of sense of crisis. Otherwise, what would she write in her manuscript when she returned?
Seeing Sun Mo looking over, Helian Beifang reported in a low voice, "The direction of the sun isn't right. We should be circling around this region today."
"Ghost Hits Wall?"
Li Ziqi's eyes brightened. When she was reading books, she had read about this phenomenon before. She had long since wanted to personally witness it.
"Ghost?"
Xuanyuan Po gripped the silver paste tightly, wanting to catch one.
Ying Baiwu and Jiang Leng instantly raised their spirits and were on high alert.
Sun Mo observed his personal students and was very satisfied with their performance.
"I don't know, but I grew up on the prairie, so I'm very confident in my sense of direction!"
Helian Beifang couldn't explain it clearly. It was just his intuition.
The plains were boundless. Only by relying on obvious landmarks would one not get lost. However, Helian Beifang didn't need to.
They all looked at Xian Yuwei.
"I … I get lost easily."
Xian Yu Wei looked awkward.
Sun Mo surveyed the surroundings and activated Divine Sight in passing.
Danger lurked in every corner of the dark primitive forest.
Apart from these words, there was no other information.
"You guys set up camp, I'll go take a look around!"
Xuanyuan Po requested to fight.
"I'll go with you!"
Jiang Leng was in charge of scouting in the group.
"No, if what Helian said is right, you might get lost."
Sun Mo rejected. "It's already late. Let's set up camp first. That's all for today."
After instructing everyone, Sun Mo ordered the scarab to search the surroundings, telling it to go as far away as possible. In any case, he could still summon it back through the spiritual control technique.
After dinner, night fell.
The forest became quiet, and only the sound of the wind blowing through the leaves could be heard.
Next to the bonfire, Sun Mo was teaching the students.
Li Ruolan took out a small notebook and recorded with interest. This was because Sun Mo wasn't talking about the study of spirit runes that he was proficient in, nor was it the art of spiritual control. It was an article written by a person named Sun Mo.
This course was interesting.
Because these articles were teaching people how to fight a war and how to win a war.
"Everyone who fights fights will win by using a unique method. Therefore, those who are good at creating unique methods are as boundless as the heavens and the earth, as inexhaustible as the rivers …"
Sun Mo spoke frankly with assurance.
Not all of the calabash brothers under him were interested in spirit runes and spiritual comprehension. If he were to teach them, it would undoubtedly be a waste of time for the students who didn't like these two subjects.
However, other than these, what Sun Mo knew were all modern knowledge. The majority of them couldn't be taught. Luckily, he often read books and was especially fond of Sun Tzu's Art of War.
This could be used to teach. After all, although the people of the Nine Prefectures did not fight many battles, they did fight and kill a lot. This could be used.
"In a fight, the most taboo is to follow the prescribed order, because if you do that, you will be guessed. Remember one thing, never let others figure out your thoughts."
When Sun Mo saw the students listening seriously, he couldn't help but heave a sigh of relief. However, when his gaze landed on the combat addict, he frowned.
(This guy is distracted.)
"Xuanyuan, tell us. What are your thoughts after listening to all these?"
Sun Mo asked.
"It's too troublesome. Wouldn't it be better if we just charge head-on?"
Xuanyuan Po's lips twitched.
Sun Mo shook his head. "Ziqi, what do you think?"
"Using a straightforward method to restrain the enemy, using a unique method to launch sneak attacks. Only by combining the two can we obtain victory."
Li Ziqi pondered. "In a war, not only must we win, but we must also win by paying the smallest price. It's because every soldier is a living person."
"That's right."
Sun Mo nodded. "Xuanyuan, if you don't change your way of thinking, you can only be a valiant general who charges and breaks through enemy lines for the rest of your life. You won't be able to become a commander-in-chief."
"I don't want to become a commander-in-chief. It's too troublesome."
Xuanyuan Po's expression grew impatient. He directly stood up. "Teacher, I want to go cultivate."
"Junior brother Xuanyuan, listen more. Actually, these battle strategies can also be used in individual battles."
Li Ziqi persuaded.
(Three beautiful great teachers are listening by the side. If you leave without giving me any face, how awkward would it be for me?)
"I believe in breaking through a thousand catties with a single strike."
After Xuanyuan Po spoke, he walked into the forest without turning back.
"Don't go too far."
Sun Mo instructed. After that, he looked at Xian Yuwei. (In terms of pure strength, you aren't as strong as this girl.)
"Teacher, don't bother about him. Can you talk more?"
Helian Beifang looked at Sun Mo with anticipation. He had long since taken out a small notebook and was seriously taking notes.
"You are interested in the dao of battle formations?"
Sun Mo was curious.
"I came from the plains because I wanted to see what kind of outstanding people are nurtured in this vast and bountiful land of the Central Plains."
Helian Beifang's tribe didn't have a lot of people, and their lives were very tough. Hence, he wanted to learn the system of the Central Plains to increase the strength of his tribe.
"Your tribe is too small, and the Jin Country has only lasted for a hundred years. It hasn't reached the stage of decay yet. Junior brother Helian, even if you learn the Dragon Slaying Art, you won't have a place to display it."
Tantai Yutang persuaded, "Why don't you put your energy into cultivation?"
"Sun Mo, where did you hear about Sun Tzu's Art of War from? Why haven't I seen it before? "
Li Ruolan was curious.
Mei Ziyu and Murong Mingyue also cast sidelong glances at Sun Mo, assessing him. Once a book of this level was written, it would surely be extremely expensive in Luoyang. It was impossible for it to be unknown.
"My father found it in a relic in the Darkness Continent."
Sun Mo told a white lie.
"Your father is really too lucky."
Li Ruolan hesitated a little and pleaded, "Can I take a look at the original work?"
"Sister Ruolan, this request of yours is a little too much."
As the eldest martial sister, Li Ziqi naturally had to protect Sun Mo's assets. For a book like this, let alone letting you read it, even letting you listen to a lecture would be a great loss.
It was because it was too precious.
Li Ruolan waited for a few seconds. Seeing that Sun Mo had no intention to speak, she hurriedly apologized, "I'm sorry, I was rude."
In her heart, this beautiful reporter also felt a little disappointed.
(Sigh!
(Why can't I capture Sun Mo's heart with my exquisite looks?)
However, when she glanced at Mei Ziyu and Murong Mingyue from the corner of her eyes, she understood.
These two weren't inferior to him, let alone An Xinhui holding the line.
"Now, we'll start with Zhiruo. You guys tell me your opinions!"
Sun Mo instructed.
"Eh? I'm the first one? "
Lu Zhiruo frowned and immediately racked her brains. After pondering for a few minutes, she squeezed out a sentence, "That Sun Tzu is so impressive! But this name is too stupid. Even if his parents didn't attend a private school, they shouldn't have given him such a name, right? "
"..."
Sun Mo's lips twitched a little.
"Ah? Am I wrong? "
The papaya girl had a dumbfounded look on her face.
"Sun Tzu's original name is Sun Bin. I call him Sun Tzu because Zi is a form of respect for those with knowledge and cultivation."
Sun Mo explained.
He had forgotten that this was the Nine Provinces. It was different from the modern world. There were true saints here, and they didn't use Zi as a form of respect.
"What a strange form of respect. In that case, doesn't that mean that Teacher is also qualified to be called Sun Tzu?"
Lu Zhiruo scratched her head. "I feel that I'm scolding you!"
"Don't talk nonsense. I don't have the right to have the word 'Zi' behind my surname."
Sun Mo mentally mused that this was really the case. In reality, if one wanted to attract hatred, a direct sentence like 'Hey, Sun Tzu' would cause a conflict to erupt.
Other than the silly papaya girl whose brain circuit was different, the other questions from the Bottle Gourd Brothers were very standard. Sun Mo explained them one by one.
In the end, he concluded.
"Although this battle example is an introduction to Sun Tzu's Art of War, you guys can also observe a person's three views from it."
When Sun Mo was talking about Sun Tzu's Art of War, he would use classic battle examples as support. After all, for a book like the Three Kingdoms, all the children of great scholars would know about it.
(That's right, we can talk about this as well.)
"Three views?"
The papaya girl felt that these terms were very profound.
"It's the world view, values, and outlook on life. At your age, it's time for you guys to establish the correct three views."
Sun Mo smiled. "Alright, I won't be able to explain this topic in a short period of time. In the next lesson, we will talk about a story called 'Records of the Three Kingdoms'."
"The name sounds so majestic!"
Ying Baiwu liked such stories.
Li Ruolan assessed Sun Mo, feeling that his teaching style was very different from those great teachers she usually saw. Firstly, his attitude was very amicable. After that, the content was very novel. She could be considered a knowledgeable person, but she had never heard of terms like 'three views' before.
"You guys can discuss it among yourselves!"
Sun Mo stood up. Although he had received 3,000 favorable impression points, his mood wasn't good because Holy Pharaoh was missing.
According to the agreement, it should have returned at this time, but it didn't.
Hence, Sun Mo used the spiritual control technique, but he still couldn't summon Holy Pharaoh over. This meant that there was a mysterious power here that blocked the summoning.
It was already late, and it was useless to be anxious. Therefore, Sun Mo told everyone to make good use of the time to rest.
On the second day, when the sky had just brightened, Sun Mo woke everyone up and announced that they would set off.
On the way, Sun Mo made sufficient marks and also told everyone to pay attention to the surroundings.
"Helian, how is it?"
Sun Mo would ask once every half an hour.
"I can't find the crucial point."
Helian Beifang felt very depressed. He clearly had a strange feeling, but he couldn't tell what the problem was.
For an entire day, everyone wandered around the forest. They also discovered a few medicinal plants and killed over ten species of darkness. It could be considered a small harvest, but everyone knew that the group was trapped in a maze.
During this period of time, Sun Mo tried to call Little Silver and succeeded for the first time. However, when he told Little Silver to search for the exit of this forest maze from the air, he lost contact with it.
An entire day passed by.
Dinner time.
"We wouldn't be wasting a month's time here, right?"
Lu Zhiruo blamed herself. As expected, she shouldn't have led the way. The heavens basically didn't like a child like her.
"I'm afraid that we won't be able to get out even after a month."
Tantai Yutang's lips twitched. "I'm someone who's about to die anyway, so it doesn't matter. But you guys still have a lot of time left in your youth."
"Tantai, can you stop joking like this?"
Li Ziqi berated, having the prestige of an eldest martial sister.
"Everyone, come over here. Today's lesson will begin."
Sun Mo spoke, "The surging Yangtze River flows east, the waves washing away all heroes. This time around, we're talking about the struggle and replacement of a dynasty at the end of its road. It's also a song of praise for countless heroes and fierce generals."
Sun Mo's voice was warm and calm, like the sunlight in spring. It caused everyone's worried and nervous emotions to unknowingly calm down.
"Following Teacher gives me a sense of security!"
Lu Zhiruo sat at the side and propped up her cheeks with her hands. She tilted her head slightly and looked at Sun Mo with a gaze of worship. She really wanted this time to continue on.
The yellow turban was in a mess.
Sworn brotherhood in the peach garden...
Let alone the students, even Li Ruolan and the other two were listening attentively, not wanting to miss out on a single word.
The night in the forest was a gentle night.
"Alright, we'll stop here for today. Everyone, rest early."
Sun Mo glanced at the Calabash Brothers. "I'll assign an assignment. What did you guys see from this story? Also, which character do you guys like?"
"I like Zhang Jiao. Huang Tianli, the people's hearts are at peace, the world is at peace. His words are really too tyrannical."
Helian Beifang sighed in admiration.
Sun Mo suddenly felt a little worried. He wouldn't have taught a ruthless character in a chaotic world, right? After all, who would like Zhang Jiao after reading the Romance of the Three Kingdoms?
Wasn't it Lord Guan? No matter how bad it was, Zhang Fei would do too!
"It's still early. Tell us another part!"
Li Ruolan pleaded, "Otherwise, who would be able to sleep if we keep them in suspense?"
"That Dong Zhuo is definitely a bad person."
Li Ziqi vowed solemnly, "If he goes to the capital, the emperor will be in trouble."
"Let's not talk anymore. Rest and conserve our energy. We have to clear this maze tomorrow."
Sun Mo glanced at the little sunny egg. As expected of a royal princess. Her sense of danger was very sharp.
"Ah? Teacher has a solution? "
Xianyu Wei wanted to know.
"The idea isn't too mature yet. Let's take a look tomorrow."
Sun Mo didn't know if this maze was man-made or formed naturally. Therefore, he wanted to perfect his plan and try his best to succeed in one go.
If there were enemies, he would crush them to death. He mustn't give them a plan to make up for their mistakes.
After a silent night, dawn arrived.
The small group set off and continued to explore the land.
Sun Mo still hadn't contacted Holy Pharaoh and Little Silver, but he unexpectedly heard the sounds of fighting.
"Let's go and take a look!"
When Sun Mo's group arrived at the scene, they discovered that it was still the 25-man team led by Zou Qi.
"Are you guys lost as well?"
Lu Zhiruo was innocent and didn't have her guard up against others. When she saw her 'companions', she immediately asked.
At such a time, without Zou Qi's orders, the group members weren't allowed to speak recklessly. However, from their gazes, Sun Mo had already gotten his answer.
They were trapped as well.
"Teacher Zou, do you want to share information?"
Sun Mo asked.
Zou Qi fell silent. He had scolded these people two days ago and their relationship was very tense. If they were to cooperate now, wouldn't that make him appear very useless?
Moreover, he was a 5-star great teacher. Although Sun Mo's reputation was very great, he was still a 3-star great teacher after all. It would lower his standing.
"There's no need."
Zou Qi rejected. He felt that if Sun Mo had a solution, he wouldn't be trapped here and had to seek cooperation.
"Hehe, this daddy was really afraid that you would agree!"
Sun Mo cast a glance at Li Ziqi without anyone noticing.
