What are the criteria for Ghost Valley's disciples?

Not too many words, a person who has a lot to say, a wise man, look at the person's resourcefulness and adaptability.

Guigu Zi accepted four disciples: Sun Bin, Pang Juan, Su Qin, Zhang Yi, - they were all nobodies before entering the mountain, and each of them shone after leaving the master, and became famous for ages. Sun Bin is a Qi's military division of the siege of Wei to save the battle of Zhao, opened the war is not in the frontal battlefield of the precedent, is the war refinement, flexible.

Pang Juan superpower Wei's general, inherited Wu Qi founded to train Wei pawns, galloped in the Warring States for decades. Zhang Yi, Su Qin opened the vertical and horizontal only ancestor, the six countries in front of the powerful Qin can have more than 10 years of hold, all because of the two people. They made the Warring States for more than a decade, attacking each other and relying on each other, using all their heart and power, almost all of them have become the world's public enemy.

Guigu Zi has both the politician's six tactics and three strategies, but also specializes in the diplomat's vertical and horizontal arts, but also has the ancestral mantle of yin and yang, the prophet's jianghu divine calculations, so the world called Guigu Zi is a wizard, all-round talent. He wrote the book "Guigu Zi", which is also called "Split Strategy". There are also folk legends that Guigu Zi is the ancestor of fortune tellers.

p>Guigu Zi wanted to test his disciples' resourcefulness and resilience, so he sat in the house and told his disciples Pang Juan and Sun Bin, "Whoever mobilizes me from the house to the outside will pass."

Pang Juan ran into the house pretending to be alarmed and said, "Enlighten the master, Yuan Shi Tian Zun has arrived, please receive me." , Ghost Valley Zi was indifferent. Pang Juan ran in for the second time, even losing one of his shoes, and came up for air, saying, "Master, the Nine Heavenly Daughters have arrived and are waiting for you outside." , Ghost Valley's body moved and did not get up.

Pang Juan do not die, the third time to come in, a rush, a wrestle fell to the ground, knocked out two incisors, stammered: "bad, Su masters and Zhang masters fight, Zhang masters Su masters killed!" , Ghost Valley stood up, looked at him, still did not go out.

Sun Bin's turn, as soon as Sun Bin came in, he said, "Master, I can't." , Ghost Valley Zi felt a little strange, Sun Bin said, "Your old man can know five hundred years in the past, five hundred years in the future, how can I cheat you?" Sun Bin said, "You old man can know 500 years of past and 500 years of future. Sun Bin then said, "If your old man was outside the house, I would have a way to trick you into coming in.

Because what happens outside has a heavenly number, you can count it out; while what happens inside the house, there is no heavenly number, you can't count it out when you go out." , Ghost Valley didn't believe it and had himself carried outside with a chair. When Sun Bin saw his master come out, he laughed and said, "I have called my master out, pass!"

Through the above simple test, Ghost Valley Zi understood that Sun Bin's talent was far above Pang Juan.
