While Zhang Xiaoxiao was complaining, two more people came in at the entrance of the lobby, they were Houtu and Bingluan.As soon as Yin Anqing saw her sister, she stood beside her without saying a word, but Houtu walked slowly, nodded slightly to Xi He who was looking at her, then walked up to Zhang Xiaoxiao and bowed slightly: " Master, the shop in Wu Clan Wangcheng has already opened, and brother Dijiang also strongly supports, so our carriage can be officially sold!"

Zhang Xiaoxiao asked: "Do you have a reservation?"

Houtu said: "Thirty cars, I have promised to sell them as soon as possible!"

Zhang Xiaoxiao nodded, then looked at the crowd and said: "Now you two are helping Master to settle a concern, and finally feel more at ease as Master!"

Houtu and Xihe stepped forward and said in unison: "This is the result of the concerted efforts of all the brothers and sisters, and I dare not take credit for it!"

Zhang Xiaoxiao raised her brows, and said, "The opening of the store is the result of the two of you working together, and it has nothing to do with other seniors, but the subsequent matter is something that all of you seniors and sisters must participate in!" Zhang Xiaoxiao said, Standing up from the lotus platform, he lightly weighed the fox in his hand.

The white fox has a spirit, so it knows what Tianjun is thinking, and immediately jumped out of Zhang Xiaoxiao's arms and lay down in Zhang Xiaoxiao's footsteps.

Tianjun Xiaoyu reprimanded Fang Qiu, and said in high spirits: "Now the blueprint in the teacher's mind has finally begun to form. Now that things are up to now, it is time for the teacher to tell you about the plan for the teacher!"

Everyone was shocked, not knowing what important event Yu Tianjun had to announce, so they obeyed respectfully at the moment.

Zhang Xiaoxiao said: "Call all the master's direct disciples to gather in the ice palace, and the master has something to announce!"

"Respect and obey Master's decree!" Yin Siming, Yin Anqing, Xihe and Houtu immediately responded.Immediately afterwards, they went out one after another to various places in Tianshan Mountain to pass on the news to the brothers and sisters.

Although the Tianshan Ice Palace is just a huge palace carved from black ice, its momentum and posture are all exquisite.No gold or silver decorations, just ice flowers, the Ice Palace is not inferior to the beauty of the heaven, nor the majesty of the royal city of the witch clan.

Zhang Yuan, Yin Siming, Kong Xuan, Houtu, Xingtian, Dayi, and Xihe stepped into the gate of the Ice Palace one after another, and saw Master standing in the middle of the hall of the Ice Palace, with a nine-tailed dragon standing beside him. arctic fox.

"Squeak~bang!" With a flick of Zhang Xiaoxiao's sleeve, the gate of the Ice Palace was tightly closed.Then all the disciples suddenly felt as if they were being spied on, and couldn't help but look at their master in astonishment!

After a while, Zhang Xiaoxiao opened his eyes, looked at a group of disciples and said with a smile: "I just scanned the surrounding area with my spiritual sense to avoid prying eyes by those with ulterior motives!" Then Zhang Xiaoxiao coughed dryly and said: "It also disturbed the secret of the sky by the way. , I believe that the person from 33 Chongtian should not know about our conversation!"

All the disciples felt that what the master was going to say this time might not be simple, and they dared not speak out at the moment.

But Zhang Xiaoxiao didn't care. With a wave of his sleeve, two rows of seats appeared in the empty hall and were neatly placed on one side.Zhang Xiaoxiao waved her hand and said, "Everyone sit down!"

As for things like benches and desks, there were no such things in the prehistoric period. From the living habits of the ancients, it can be seen that people kneeled in front of the desks and desks 2000 years ago, and there were no desks, chairs and benches influenced by the barbarians later.

So when Zhang Xiaoxiao said "Sit!", a group of disciples stared at each other, but didn't know what to do.On the contrary, the white fox who had been following Tianjun was clever. It walked past Tianjun's feet, jumped onto an ice chair, and then sat down with its hind legs gathered.

When everyone saw the fox sitting down, there was a table in front of them, and they suddenly realized that they sat on the chairs in a dignified manner.

It's just that these people have been used to sitting on their knees all year round, and now that their feet are on the ground, it always feels a little awkward to stick their buttocks to the stool.

Zhang Xiaoxiao didn't bother to explain. Seeing everyone sitting down, she immediately felt like going to school to relive the classroom environment again, which made her relax a lot.

Zhang Xiaoxiao turned her hands back, and a classroom chair and a desk also appeared behind her.Zhang Xiaoxiao sat down on the classroom chair and looked at the seven students: "Today's event was planned for the teacher a long time ago, but there has been no guarantee that it will be realized!"

"Of course, if it is to be realized, all of you brothers and sisters must work together!" Zhang Xiaoxiao said, his eyes could not hide a cold light: "I have only one purpose in creating the school, not for the witch clan, nor for the monster clan, just For the prehistoric!"

All the disciples immediately sat upright, looking at their master in unison, and the atmosphere fell into ice-cold for a while.Only the white fox jumped off the chair and ran back to Zhang Xiaoxiao's side like a normal person, and it became smaller and wanted to jump into Tianjun's arms.

Unexpectedly, Zhang Xiaoxiao sternly said to the white fox: "Not now!" His expression was serious, and he seemed to have lost his usual harmony.

The fox groaned slightly "咻~!", then walked slowly behind Tianjun with his head shrugged and lay down.Everyone saw that their master scolded even a beloved pet, so they knew that the master at this moment didn't mean to be joking at all.

Zhang Xiaoxiao looked at them and said, "I told you before that a monk's strength is limited. He may be weak, but if there is a group of weak but united monks, those great supernatural powers will be afraid as well?"

Zhang Yuan, Kong Xuan, and Yin Siming knew this best. Kong Xuan said: "Master said that the strength of unity is the strongest!"

Zhang Xiaoxiao nodded: "That's right!" Then she suddenly looked at Houtu coldly: "Do you still remember the reason why you came to Tianshan to learn art from a teacher?"

Houtu also confessed: "I want to find the way of cultivating the Tao of the witch clan, and win over Master by the way!" Houtu has a gentle temperament, and he has been dealing with Tianshan affairs for a long time, so he is becoming more and more calm, and he is not coldly looked at by the master at all. scare.

Zhang Xiaoxiao said: "That's right, but you have been in Tianshan Mountain for hundreds of years, and my teacher did not study the cultivation techniques for you as promised at the beginning. Do you blame me?"

Houtu was stunned, she didn't expect Tianjun Xiaoyu to say this directly in front of everyone, and shook her head immediately: "I believe Master has his own plans, besides, I have been in Tianshan for nearly 800 years, although Master didn't teach me He and Xing Tian and Dayi have taught us a lot of practical skills and skills!"

Zhang Xiaoxiao nodded again: "Yes, I said that I can't do anything about your Wu Clan's cultivation for the time being, but it doesn't mean that there is no way in the future, and I haven't studied your Wu Clan's physique until now, just because I'm waiting!"

Zhang Xiaoxiao's eyes swept to everyone again: "I'm waiting, waiting for the time when the monster clan is powerful!"

"Ah?" Xi He cried out, then ignored everyone's surprised eyes, and said directly: "Master, do you mean that the monster clan will be stronger than the witch clan in the future?"

Zhang Xiaoxiao sneered: "What do you think?" Then she looked at Houtu: "In this regard, Houtu should know best!"

Houtu explained: "It is indeed possible that our ancestors will reach quasi-sage cultivation after dying, and it will be difficult to advance an inch in the future, but the Yaozu has a saint Nuwa established by the Taoist ancestor. The technique is useful to the monster clan but useless to the witch clan, which means that as time goes by, the monks of the monster clan will become stronger and stronger. Maybe the quasi-sage of the witch clan is supported by ten ancestor witches. But the future quasi-sages of the Yaozu will only accumulate more and more! By then, the Yaozu will naturally be stronger than my Wuzu!"

"That's right, but do you know why I don't study it now?" Zhang Xiaoxiao asked.

Houtu suddenly came to his senses, and looked at Xiaoyu Tianjun in surprise: "Master, what do you mean... afraid of the power of the witch clan?"

Zhang Xiaoxiao clapped his hands and praised: "Not bad!" Then he looked at everyone and said, "Today I will be teaching the art of vertical and horizontal!"

"Zongheng?" Everyone looked confused.

"Yes, vertical and horizontal!" Zhang Xiaoxiao stood up from the chair as he spoke, and a black slate appeared behind him with a wave of his hand. Zhang Xiaoxiao wrote down the word "Zongheng" lightly with slaked lime and said: "The so-called vertical and horizontal is actually the meaning of continuous and horizontal." It’s a technique, but it’s also a technique of balance!”

"Let me ask you, if the Wu Clan did not have the restraint of the second demon emperor and the demon saint (the demon saint only had Kunpeng in the early days, and later refers to all the monster clans that have reached the quasi-sage cultivation level), and you have the powerful monsters that I have researched. Then what will happen?" Zhang Xiaoxiao said and looked at the three disciples of the Wu clan, this question can be said to be closely related to them.

Xing Tian frowned and thought for a while, then said: "If I were me, I'm afraid I would smash the Heavenly Court. You must know that one mountain cannot accommodate two tigers, and the ancestors also had this idea, but it's a pity that the Demon Emperor has the innate treasure to protect him, and the innate spirit treasure suppresses the scene." , so that the ancestors did not dare to act rashly!"

Houtu nodded slowly: "That's right, Sister Xuanming and I actually don't have so many ideas, as long as we can coexist, we can coexist, but the elder brothers can't tolerate sand in their eyes!"

"So, I can't teach!" Zhang Xiaoxiao smiled at the three of them: "At least I can't teach now!"

A group of disciples suddenly realized: "This is a kind of balance technique, is it vertical and horizontal?"

"No, this is not vertical and horizontal, vertical and horizontal is more profound than it, it's just that I want you to understand that balance is often the most effective weapon to contain a war!" Zhang Xiaoxiao said with a smile: "I believe everyone should remember that this gentleman said that head-to-head confrontation is the most effective weapon." What a reckless man does, only a soldier who can defeat others without fighting is a wise man!"

"Of course, what should be fought is also what should be done. When the enemy is strong and we are weak, what should we do?" Zhang Xiaoxiao instantly drew "Wei, Shu, and Wu" on the blackboard, and then said: "Assuming these are three tribes, among them The Wei clan is the strongest, neither Shu nor Wu is its opponent, so how can they compete with the Wei clan?"

"Unite!" Dayi said without thinking.

"Bingo! Congratulations, you got the answer right!" Zhang Xiaoxiao gave Dayi a thumbs up, and then said, "From tomorrow onwards, you will follow me to practice the technique of balance and management. Oh, Xihe is also here, together with Houtu study!"

Dayi immediately stood up excitedly: "Master, really, really?"

"It's true, it's time to teach you some soft skills, otherwise who will realize the vertical and horizontal skills after becoming a teacher?" Zhang Xiaoxiao returned to the theme after finishing speaking: "Yes, only the Wu and Shu clans can unite with each other. Wei contends, and this is the art of vertical and horizontal!"

Zhang Xiaoxiao then said to the crowd: "Don't think it's very simple, because there are only three tribes here, if there are five, seven, or nine...can it be that simple?"

Kong Xuandao: "Master said that a wise man sees the big from the small, and he can only be called a great talent if he looks at things by studying their essence. The more tribes there are, the more interests will be involved, and the way of balance and balance It gets more complicated!"

"Not bad!" Zhang Xiaoxiao looked back at the blackboard, and said, "Today, I'm going to tell you how to connect horizontally!"

The author has something to say: I'm so tired, girls, remember Hua Hua, go to bed early, I'm going to play games!

By the way, some people say that I introduce more novels to read, but in fact I don’t read novels very much, I just check to see if there are any unpopular ones, and then pay attention.

The last time I saw someone wrote "The Sky and the Sky" is an unpopular novel.The author has written more than 30 words, and has not entered v. It is about women who disguised themselves as men during the Anti-Japanese War. Well, I don’t know what the writing style is, but it should still be readable if you have a collection of 1700+. If you are interested, you can go and read it.The author has almost 40 words, and she hasn't even entered v, I admire it, if you think it looks good, please count the votes for her to encourage and encourage her!

In fact, the art of vertical and horizontal was formed in the Warring States Period. At the beginning, Zhang Yi and Su Qin advocated the combination of vertical and horizontal, and used the power of the six countries to resist the strong Qin. It was also a glorious historical story.It also laid the foundation for the later title of "strategist".

But in Zhang Xiaoxiao's heart, although the technique of vertical and horizontal is powerful, it is only a way to treat the symptoms but not the root cause.No matter how clever the strategists are, they can't cure the incompetence of the leaders of the six countries.

In Zhang Xiaoxiao's eyes, Zongheng should really be quoted as the art of the emperor. Which ancient emperor Mingjun would not know the art of left and right balance. Even in the early Qing Dynasty, Mr. Kangxi controlled the fate of more than a dozen sons, and the sons joined forces with each other. Forming a small interest body can be said to push the art of vertical and horizontal to the top of Gongdou.

How is the art of the emperor not free from the art of vertical and horizontal?Zhang Xiaoxiao laughed when he thought of it.The ancients talked about intrigue, which is really an art. No matter how good-looking foreigner movies are, there is no such high-IQ infighting!Even if there is, it is inseparable from the shadow of China.

The reason why Zhang Xiaoxiao was able to talk about Zongheng was because she still remembered these stories. She lived above the lecture hall, and began to quote the stories of the Seven Heroes of the Warring States Period, telling the legends of the Zonghengjia in that era in the form of seven tribes.But she had reservations about everything she said. She said that after the six countries joined forces to crusade against Qiang Qin, she didn't tell the disciples that they ended in failure.

A group of disciples listened with gusto, and finally some people exclaimed: "Master, they just made a statement in a few words, and scared the big chiefs, and they were able to unite. It's really amazing!" Traveling in and out of the prehistoric world, which one is not proud and arrogant, now after listening to the stories of the wise men, how can I not feel hopeless and sigh, and even feel that I have become less talented and less learned.

Xing Tian has the most upright temper. He supported his chin with his hand, and looked at Xiaoyu Tianjun with longing expression: "Master, what happened next?"

Zhang Xiaoxiao smiled: "There is no later, and we will talk about the later. In fact, there are a few points that must be paid attention to when explaining the art of vertical and horizontal. The first point is eloquence. What you want to say must be from the standpoint of the other party to clarify it." Great; except for Kong Xuan, Hou Tu and Dayi, it is hard for you to have such a good mentality?"

"How good is it to stand on the other side's point of view?" Zhang Yuandao: "How do we know what the other side is thinking?"

Zhang Xiaoxiao wrote another word "profit" on the blackboard, and after looking at the word "profit" in a daze, he continued to preach: "But all monks are profitable. Those who benefit, the spirit of self-chasing or It's just material wealth!"

"It's not very clear, we've never heard some words before!" All the disciples showed confusion with their big eyes open.

Zhang Xiaoxiao said: "To put it simply, every monk has something to pursue. For example, many monks pursue the way of heaven, and hope to become a saint one day; while some monks pursue fame. Those who have a good name hope that all monks will pursue them and enjoy the attention of everyone. eyes; what's more, what you chase after is momentum!"

"For example, Emperor Jun of Tiangong and Di Jiang of the Wu Clan, they are all powerful supernatural beings. They don't care whether they will become saints or not, they only care about whether the strong men of my Monster Clan follow me. Whether the children of the clan obey me."

"They are aloof and enjoy the worship of all people. Whenever something goes wrong, they can decide the fate of the weak with a wave of their hands. This is the charm of power!"

Zhang Xiaoxiao's explanation in this way really made the disciples understand a lot. After all, they went to school because they could learn something here. Isn't it also the reason for "profitability" with this kind of purpose?

Zhang Xiaoxiao said again: "The art of speaking itself also needs some talent. You all have your own strengths. I am here to teach you according to your aptitude, and other places will also allow you to have your own specialties!"

"Thank you, Master!" All the disciples couldn't help but clasped their fists again and saluted.

Zhang Xiaoxiao said: "Only by standing on the other side's side and knowing what kind of 'benefits' the other side likes, can we match what they like and achieve our own goals. Of course, the way we speak is also crucial!"

"The second point is that when you state your powerful relationship, you must not use sharp words, making the other party feel that you are hurting face, and you appear too arrogant. This is the easiest way to arouse their resentment!" After Zhang Xiaoxiao finished speaking, he said: "The third Point, use honorifics but don't lose your dignity, and never let yourself appear servile!"

"Remember, if you don't have that self-confidence and lower your posture when facing the opponent, the first thing the opponent will do is to look down on you! So you must have a well-thought-out plan to make things happen!" Zhang Xiaoxiao said: "Nowadays, although the Lich Clan There are constant small conflicts, but after all, there is one master heaven, one master land, and the second race is not very powerful, so they can have nothing to do with each other. However, this is just a matter of the present. The benefits obtained are getting bigger and bigger, so the peace must be broken!"

"Then we will rely on the vertical and horizontal to contain them? But after all, this is just a drop in the bucket, it's a temporary solution, not the root cause!" Kong Xuan got to the point as soon as he opened his mouth.

Zhang Xiaoxiao drew four circles of different sizes on the blackboard.The first circle is on the top, with the word "demon" written, the second one is on the bottom with the word "witch", and the third one is much smaller on the left, and the drawing intersects with the circle of the demon clan (you know the intersection map, right? !), wrote the word "Xuan", the last circle is the smallest, but it intersects with the second circle of Lich, and the word "Xue" is written inside!

Zhang Xiaoxiao looked back at the crowd after finishing the painting: "Can you see clearly?"

Zhang Yuandao: "Is this a map of influence?"

Hou Tu said: "It should be said that it is a map of power relations. The power of the Lich and Demon Clans is the largest on it, but most of the Xuanmen rely on the Yaozu, because most of the Yaozu practice Taoism, but Xuanmen After all, they are weaker. Although most of the monster races practice Xuanmen Taoism, the one who is loyal is the demon emperor of heaven!"

"That's right, I understood as soon as Senior Sister Houtu said it. Although the school has friends with both the Lich clan, but because it is only supported by Master and Hongyun teacher, it is still much weaker. Therefore, the strength of my 'school' is the smallest!" Dayi said.

Zhang Xiaoxiao was very happy. These students were able to understand a little bit, and the teaching was really smooth.She smiled and said, "Yes, so we are the weak side, but we can't be discouraged!"

Zhang Xiaoxiao walked towards a group of disciples, looked at them and said, "When I accepted you as disciples, the first thing I did was not to preach directly, but to subtly teach you to forget whether you are from the witch clan or the demon clan, and just treat yourself as one." As disciples of the school, the biggest reason is to establish the vision of you standing in the middle and looking at both sides."

"Do things fairly and look at things objectively, so that you can see the overall situation. Only when you let go of your big interest group and stand in the middle and look at both sides can you see the limitations of the witches and demons themselves, and you can understand a lot more. Things can’t be seen because they can’t understand them!”

"Then Master, what about us? What are we going to do? In fact, we are the weakest right now!" Yin Siming finally couldn't help interjecting, because her fire phoenix temper couldn't bear the look of others looking down on you.

Zhang Xiaoxiao laughed loudly: "Since most strategists don't have strong cultivation bases, but they can influence the decisions of those high-ranking chiefs, why can't we learn a thing or two?" Then Zhang Xiaoxiao twitched his eyebrows and said coldly: "We The biggest enemy is not the Wu Clan, nor the Monster Clan, but the entire Xuanmen!"

Boom~!A group of disciples only felt that there was a loud roar in their minds, the whole Taoist sect, didn't that mean that they wanted to fight against the Taoist ancestor?Dao ancestor...that is a saint who has achieved the way of heaven hundreds of years ago!

Zhang Xiaoxiao looked at his disciples dumbfounded, and couldn't help snorting angrily: "Why, are you scared?"

The group of disciples withdrew their stunned expressions, and were speechless for a while!In fact, they were thinking in their hearts, as expected, one mountain cannot accommodate two tigers, and the master obviously remembered the thing that Daozu hurt himself before!

Seeing their cowardly expressions, Zhang Xiaoxiao felt even more angry, and immediately said coldly: "Why, don't you believe that a teacher has this ability?"

"Disciples don't dare!" Finally, someone calmed down.

Zhang Xiaoxiao said: "I know that our power is the weakest, but the strongest in the future must be the Taoist sect, but I said that it is the fool's work to fight head-to-head, and besides, the Taoist sect will have a promising future? I heard that Sanqing's apprentice Daode Tianzun Put yourself at the highest level, and accepted a Hongdu master, but Yuanshi Tianzun first looked at his bones before accepting him as a disciple, and he rejected you if you were not qualified! As for Lingbao Tianzun, he is one of the three. The one with the lowest attitude, recruits disciples based on their eyesight, but only teaching the way but not cultivating others, it will definitely be difficult to succeed in the future!"

Then Zhang Xiaoxiao looked at a few people: "Don't look at the fact that my school has only a thousand disciples. If you give me 50 years, my school will be able to gain a foothold in the prehistoric ages. If you give me 100 years, there will be more than 300 students. Give me another [-] years." , you will find that the school has become a holy place in the hearts of all living beings!"

"No matter how strong the Taoist ancestor is? Teaching apprentices is not just to talk about the way of heaven and retreat, but also to establish the apprentice's view of right and wrong and the overall situation. You must teach them how to be a good monk and how to become a wise man. They will only remember what you said I can’t remember you as a master!” Zhang Xiaoxiao said: “This is what I have spent nearly a thousand years teaching, if I want to teach you, you must first cultivate your spirit, do you understand?”

Houtu was thoughtful, and then she understood why her master was very angry at accepting her as an apprentice, but she didn't lose her bias. On the contrary, she still thinks highly of herself!It turns out...the first thing the master has to do is to let himself out of the identity cage of "ancestral witch", and finally become her real apprentice!

Houtu sighed, thinking that in the prehistoric land, there are really not many powerful monks with the strength of Xiaoyu Tianjun. Maybe, she can really succeed in the future, so what if she becomes the biggest force?Once the balance between the two races is broken, the school may become a "target of criticism"!

But Zhang Xiaoxiao looked back at the map of power relations, and suddenly there was a hint of understanding in his eyes, showing a sarcasm. He didn't know if he didn't draw it, but now he suddenly discovered the problem after drawing it.

Haha, what you Daozu Hongjun said, "The birth of the human race is to follow the destiny!" I think it is a piece of bullshit. You saints are all bastards. This is not a matter of conforming to the destiny or not.

The Witch Clan and the Monster Clan are powerful, and the two clans are very united, and you can't get involved at all, let alone let them obey your orders and respect you.You accept the human race as your disciples only because the human race is the weakest, not to mention the Taoist cultivation techniques. As long as you support them with all your strength, you will be respected by the human race, and then you will obey your destiny!

To put it bluntly, it is a group of hypocritical saints who want to have a high status. If your two races are not obedient, we will support an obedient race to come out!Zhang Xiaoxiao had never thought about it this way before, but now seeing those big and small circles, she suddenly understood.It turns out that those high-sounding words are nothing more than covering up the ambitions and desires of the saints!

Heh... Zhang Xiaoxiao sneered in his heart. It turned out that the human race was just a pawn of the saints. The reason why they survived and replaced the Lich clan was probably because these saints contributed to the flames!
