Chapter Fifty-Eight: A Hundred Years of Sycamores, Playing Blind Chess

A journey of landscape, a story.

Shen Ruolin loved the students of Dashan House and continued to stay in Lijiaao to teach.

Gao Xiaojun, Pan Yuting and others left in the listener's car, their minds full of memories about the deep mountains.

The green mountains are faint, the green water is long, the breeze is gusting, and the white clouds are fluttering.

With a calm and indifferent heart, Li Changqing placed the recliner next to the orchid under the bamboo forest.

Taste a fragrant tea, hold a few antique scriptures, and occasionally tease Huanhuan and rejoice.

When the interest came, he took the Zhuge crossbow and went to Zhong Nanshan to inspect, but found no trace of the wolves.

Instead, I found a lot of wild vegetables and transplanted some valuable herbs into the ground.

Halfway up the sixth mountain, Li Changqing found a plane tree that had been struck by lightning.

The upper part of the sycamore tree is pitch black, but the roots grow green leaves, and the exposed heart of the tree is not rotten.

Li Changqing returned to the cabin and brought a hacksaw and cut a section from the middle.

The cut surface of the trunk has a dense ring of growth rings, which are estimated to be at least a few hundred years old.

According to the record in the "Book of Music", the former Shun made a five-string piano, sang the south wind, and began to make music to appreciate the waiting.

In the long history of China, the qin has been proud and extraordinary.

The literati regarded the guqin as the only way to cultivate one's self-cultivation, but the materials used to make it were strict and harsh.

Generally speaking, the wood should be light, the grain should be clear, and old wood is preferred.

After Li Changqing studied the "Book of Music", he always wanted to make a lyre by himself.

But it was difficult to find the right material, but I didn't expect to go up the mountain and find a century-old plane wood.

The guqin is generally made of sycamore wood, described in the Book of Songs, the hazelnut of the tree, the lacquer of the chair, and the mulberry of the qin.

Hundred-year-old sycamore wood is one of the most favorite materials of luthiers, and it is a material that is hard to find.

However, in order to make a good instrument, the craftsmanship is also very important.

Li Changqing had to use ordinary wood to hone his craft first, and then use hundred-year-old sycamore wood after he became proficient.

Transporting the sycamore wood from the sixth peak back to the chalet was not easy, requiring the climb over five high mountains.

Li Changqing took great pains to move the sycamore wood to the cabin at dusk.

During this period, Shen Ruolin came to ask for advice with her own works, but unfortunately she didn't see Li Changqing.

At night, Li Changqing entered the hundred schools of Zhuzi.

Study the mathematics classics in the Jiugong Academy, and then go to the Tianyuan chess room to look through the chess games.

"Young man, chess is dead, but man is alive. Fan Xiping's thin face glanced at Li Changqing.

"Senior, please advise!"

Li Changqing sensed that the plot task might be triggered, and said humbly.

"Actual combat is the best way to improve your chess skills, especially against the best players! ”

Fan Xiping was wearing an ordinary navy blue robe, but there was a domineering attitude between his words.

If you talk about chess skills, Fan Xiping is a generation of national players, known as a chess saint, how much more than a master?

"Hehe, would you like to have a plate?" Li Changqing asked with a smile.

"If you stay for a long time, it's nothing, just treat it as a pastime!", Fan Xiping didn't refuse when he looked at Li Changqing.

"Senior, be careful!", Li Changqing deliberately said when he touched Fan Xiping's temper.

"If you can win me, I'll give you this chessboard!", Fan Xiping said angrily.

"Senior, you are a generation of chess masters, and I am just a late learner, it doesn't seem fair!"

"Close your eyes and let you have nine sons, what's the matter?"

At the beginning of the chess game, Li Changqing took the black son first.

The chess pieces in the hand are neither gold nor jade, and the chessboard exudes a unique woody fragrance.

Li Changqing has been in a passive state since the beginning, and after dozens of steps, he has already collapsed.

The chess pieces are enough to invigorate blood and dispel blood stasis and dredge the meridians, and the fragrance of the chessboard can refresh the mind, and the whole chessboard is extraordinary.

After a game of chess, Li Changqing not only did not feel tired, but was full of energy.

Such a magical chessboard and chess pieces can naturally be won, which is a beautiful thing.

"Young man, how's it going?", Fan Xiping asked proudly.

"One more plate!", Li Changqing said.

Even if you play blind chess and make nine pieces, the strength of the national Go player is still not to be underestimated.

After fighting for more than a dozen games, Li Changqing has improved, but there is still a long way to go from Fan Xiping.

In the early morning, the mountains are rugged.

Li Changqing carried a hoe to weed in the field, and planted some summer cucumbers on the wasteland.

The trail was narrow, and when I came back, my clothes were soaked with dew.

It's not a pity that the clothes are stained, but the wish is not violated, Li Changqing doesn't care.

After tidying up, Li Changqing went to Lijiaao Primary School to sell leeks, and the primary school was as lively as a bazaar.

But as soon as Li Changqing began to lead the reading, he all quieted down and followed carefully.

There are many new faces among the readers, and Du Qiyou is particularly conspicuous in his suit.

After graduating from university, Du Qiyou partnered with a friend to start a small company, which is in its infancy and faces a lot of problems.

I often quarrel with my partners because of different ideas, and when I am thinking about parting ways, I hear the magical sound of reading in the mountains. With a relaxed attitude, I drove to Lijiaao alone and met many people who had the same troubles.

"When the water is clear, there are no fish, and if people are too anxious, they are unwise. ”

"It is better to be good than to be insufficient, than to be evil. ”

"Don't wait for right and wrong to come into your ears, the former love is hatred. ”

The sound of the book expounds the philosophy of dealing with people in the "Zengguang Xianwen" in detail, which is enlightening to many people.

Du Qiyou was greatly touched after hearing this, and he was too impatient when he communicated with his friends before.

I always want to impose some ideas on others, which leads to deeper and deeper estrangement, but I never find the reason in myself.

Du Qiyou bowed to Li Changqing, turned around and drove to the company to try to recover, which was just a microcosm of many listeners.

"No matter what troubles you have in your heart when you come, you can always find a solution after following the book here. ”

"As the old saying goes, there is Yan Ruyu in the cloud book, there is a golden house in the book, there is a free car in the book, and there are thousands of Zhongsu among the book friends. ”

In Mr. Li's books, there are sunny and righteous paths, allowing lost people to find the right way again. ”

After reading the book, the old listeners who often come to follow them get together to exchange ideas with each other, and they can't help but sigh in unison.

Li Changqing never stayed in Lijiaao Primary School for long, and returned to the cabin from the back mountain after studying.

"Qingwa, go to the township to buy some better vegetables and come back!", Liu Cui'e stopped Li Changqing.

"What, are you here today?" asked Li Changqing.

"Your aunt is not in good health, you have to come and live for a while!", Liu Cui'e said with some concern.

"What's wrong with Auntie?", Li Changqing stayed in the mountains almost all day and rarely cared about other things.

"I don't know the specifics, anyway, I always have insomnia, dreams, and hair loss. ”

"Didn't my uncle take my aunt to the hospital to have a look?"

"The city and the province have all gone, and if you don't eat less medicine, it's not good!"

"Oh, got it, I'm going grocery shopping!"
