Chapter 35: The Wizard of Makino 2

Fang Guohuan quietly left Heming Villa, walked to the bank of the Yellow River, looked at the surging river, and was alone, thinking of the battle of Tianyuan, it was like a dream, and his heart was surging with the rolling current. Fang Guohuan has been independent for a long time, and suddenly remembered a person that Master Kuyuan had talked about, living in Qinghe County, Hebei, this person is Zhong Shiyuan, the world's first rapid chess player, and thought in his heart: "This place is not very far from Qinghe, Hebei, Zhong Shiyuan is one of the three famous chess players today, such a master, I can't help but visit, and you can also ask the ...... of ghost chess" Thinking of this, Fang Guolian's heart suddenly tightened, remembering that Zhong Shiyuan's chess name is big, Hebei is very close to the capital, and the national eunuch Li Wusan can't know it. Fang Guochuan regretted it in his heart, why didn't he think about it before, so he turned around and ran to Qinghe, Hebei.

Fang Guohuan was worried that there would be another disaster like Qu Liangyi and Bai Guangjing, so he hurried on the road, and he had already arrived in Qinghe County on this day. Under the guidance of passers-by, Fang Guohuan came to the door of a mansion, and then buckled the door knocker, not much time, an old servant came out, Fang Guohuan bowed his hand and said: "May I ask the old man, this is Mr. Zhong Shiyuan's house?" ”

The old servant looked at Fang Guolian, nodded and responded: "Yes, it is the residence of my master, isn't the little boy here to find the master to play chess?" Fang Guochuan said: "I have been living for a long time with Mr. Zhong Shiyuan's chess name, and I came to visit, and I also invited the old man to introduce me." ”

The old servant's face was a little proud, and then he shook his head and said: "It's a pity, the little boy is the same as those who admire the chess name of my master, and it is not a coincidence, the master went on a trip three months ago, and I don't know when he will be able to come back." ”

When Fang Guohuan heard this, he couldn't help but be mixed with joy, the joy was that Zhong Shiyuan had not returned, then Li Wusan had found it, and his own family was also in the air, it seemed that Zhong Shiyuan had avoided this disaster for the time being. I am worried that I have never visited Zhong Shiyuan, and I can't help but feel a little regretful, especially Li Wusan has become the biggest threat to today's chess masters, and I hope that chess players all over the world can be vigilant. Fang Guohuan didn't visit Zhong Shiyuan, and his heart was put down a lot, remembering the appointment of the gourmand Zhao Mingfeng, so he planned to go all the way south to Suzhou, and after meeting Zhao Mingfeng, he went to visit another famous chess player, Tian Yangwu, the Jiangnan chess king who lived in Suzhou City, and then transferred to Tianyuan Temple in Lianyun Mountain, and reported the ghost chess murder to Master Kuyuan, so that Master Kuyuan could come up with a safe idea and try to avoid this disaster in the chess world. Fang Guohuan thought that he had just played the chess world, and he encountered such a chess calamity, and he was very worried.

On this day, Fang Guohuan traveled to an empty field, but saw that the sky was blue and green, the scenery was very different, the wind stirred the grass waves, the air was clear, there were mountains in the distance, there was water in the vicinity, and the trees were growing in the middle, the scenery was wonderful, and it was refreshing. Fang Guolian has a good nature, seeing this charming scenery, his chest is clear, his mind is refreshed, and he has forgotten many troubles for the time being. Walking around, I met a woodcutter who was grassing, and asked the name of the place, and the woodcutter said: "This place is the field of the former Yuan people herding horses, so it is called Muye." ”

When Fang Guohuan heard this, he nodded and said good. After wandering aimlessly for a long time, when he turned his mind back, he suddenly saw a young man in white in the field, standing with his hands in his hands, staring into the distance, like a jade tree in the wind. At first glance, Fang Guohuan couldn't help but be stunned in his heart, and found that this young man standing there seemed to give people a feeling of wanting to melt into all things, and he was at a loss, and secretly surprised himself: "How can this person have such an extraordinary fairy-like temperament?" At this time, the young man turned around and saw Fang Guohuan looking at him, nodding and smiling slightly. Fang Guochuan was shocked when he saw it, and found that this young man's handsome appearance was overflowing with a kind and auspicious atmosphere, and he didn't know how his family could have such a strange feeling, especially that slight smile, which could make any troubles in anyone's heart instantly relieved. Fang Guochuan was surprised in his heart: "Brother Luo Kunxian is radiant because he has eaten treasures, and this young man gives people a different feeling, there is a natural charm in the beauty, which gives people a strange feeling, standing among ten thousand people, you can recognize it at a glance!" ”

Seeing that this young man was so kind-faced, Fang Guohuan was amazed in his heart, knowing that he was not very human, he hurriedly stepped forward and bowed and said: "This benevolent brother is invited, in the country below, dare to ask the name of the honorable surname?" The young man returned the salute and smiled: "It turned out to be Brother Fang, junior brother Yuan Ling, today is fate, you and I can meet and meet in this pasture." ”

Fang Guochuan said: "I saw that the virtuous brother entered the gods, I don't know what to observe in this wilderness?" When Yuan Ling heard this, he pointed to the surrounding scenery and said, "Brother Fang, please see, how are these plants and trees different from people?" Fang Guochuan was stunned when he heard this, and saw that it was strange for Yuan Ling to ask well, but his tone was innocent, and there was no intention of empty talk, so he responded: "The grass and trees are ignorant, and people are knowledgeable, this is the difference between people and things, is there anything else that the virtuous brother can't see?" ”

Yuan Ling smiled: "How can you say that the grass and trees are ignorant!" You must know that plants and trees are prosperous and withered with the cold and heat of the four seasons, what is the difference between this and people's choice of residence to avoid the cold? Fang Guohuan saw that Yuan Ling was talking about people and plants and trees, and there was a kind of mystery in his words, and he knew that he was very human, so he hurriedly said: "It turns out that Yuan Lingxian is a person who explores the reason of all things, and he is wise and foolish, and he can't argue with each other, so he has to ask for advice." Yuan Ling said with a smile: "One side is quite not bad, Brother Fang has a good temperament, he must be a master of Taoism, don't take humility as such." ”

Yuan Ling continued: "The younger brother is not talented, he left home at the age of five, and followed the master's perception of all things and comprehended the principles of life and life. He once talked with the masters of the three religions on the avenue, but there were many empty talkers, but the discussion was mysterious, not in the form. And when I saw Brother Fang today, I felt different, and my spirit was revealed, when it was in one thing in all things, what did Brother Fang think? ”

When Fang Guohuan heard this, he was taken aback and said: "Isn't the virtuous brother an immortal in the world, and enlightenment is not possible for me?" Yuan Ling said with a smile: "The younger brother is the same as Brother Fang, just a mortal body, but immortals are also made by people, and the so-called immortals are people who understand the wonders of the changes of all things and take the opportunity of heaven and earth creation." When Fang Guohuan heard this, he was stunned and said: "This person's realm is profound, and he is beyond the ordinary, it seems that this person seems to be in harmony with all things, and he must be a master who has won the Great Dao." ”

Fang Guochuan then respectfully said: "Today, I am fortunate to meet Brother Yuan Lingxian, I have heard a few words, I feel very much, Brother Xian seems to have reached the realm of empathy with things, I don't know why it is so far?" ”

Yuan Ling said: "The environment is born from the heart, the law is made by the will, the younger brother from the mountains, rivers, grasses, wind, rain, thunder and lightning, to understand the feelings of all things, to participate in the sophistication of human feelings, and then know that the nature of people is connected with the avenue." Man is the soul of all things, whether virtuous or foolish, has the root of enlightenment, both born between heaven and earth, should study the principle of all things, so as not to wander around in the way, the depth of understanding, the realm of their own comprehension is also different. When Fang Guolian heard this, he sighed: "Although everything in the world is complicated, it seems that there is a reason to find, just like the chessboard, although it is ever-changing, it also has its own way of chess, and the so-called world is like chess, which is the truth." ”

Yuan Ling said again at this time: "It turns out that Brother Fang is in the realm of chess, for others, all kinds of changes in chess seem to be unpredictable, but for Brother Fang, this is the difference in people's understanding of things, and the realm is also very different." Then he said: "Skill can be channeled and transformed into temperament, it is difficult to find a master like Brother Fang, can you play a game with your younger brother?" It also allows the little brother to appreciate the chess of the transformation realm. When Fang Guolian heard this, he said with a smile: "The virtuous brother can also feel the same way as all things, if he understands the way of chess, he must be a top master." As he spoke, he took out the Arhat chess pieces from the package, spread a silk cloth painted with a chessboard on the ground, and then smiled at Yuan Ling and sat on the ground to play a game.

However, Fang Guolian only dropped the third son, Yuan Ling suddenly stopped his own trend, and said in surprise: "Brother Fang's transformation realm chess is not ordinary, just three sons, he has exhausted the three potentials of heaven, earth and man, and the younger brother has self-knowledge, so let's stop." When Fang Guolian heard this, he didn't expect Yuan Ling to decide the situation with his own three sons, and couldn't help but be surprised: "Why does the virtuous brother talk about the three sons?" Yuan Ling sighed and said: "These three sons have the merit of stabilizing the world and setting the overall situation, so the younger brother abandoned the son and did not dare to go again." Fang Guochuan smiled when he heard this: "The realm of the virtuous brother is profound, I can't do it!" ”

Yuan Ling said differently at this time: "Brother Fang's chess realm is spiritual, and he can respond to all things, I don't know how to achieve such a high level of cultivation?" Fang Guohuan briefly described the process of cultivating himself into the chess path of the Tianyuan Transformation Realm. When Yuan Ling heard this, he was surprised and said: "This kind of Tianyuan realm in chess has reached the realm of immortalization, if Brother Fang is diligent in cultivating it, he will be able to see through the mystery of heaven and earth, and seize the opportunity of creation." Brother Fang has entered the gate of the Great Dao, because he has attained the Tao through chess, and he must not miss the opportunity that his family has cultivated. ”

Fang Guohuan said with a smile: "I have just achieved the art of chess, where is there such a foundation for cultivating the immortal path like a virtuous brother." Yuan Ling shook his head and said: "Okay, now that Brother Fang is over, when the time comes, the younger brother will go to find Brother Fang, and then quietly marry fellow practitioners." Fang Guochuan smiled inadvertently: "I can't be an immortal in the sky, but I can just be a wandering immortal in the world." Yuan Ling smiled when he heard this, but he didn't say anything deeper.

It was nearly dusk, the remnant sun was shining in the west, and everything was blood-red, which deepened the sense of emptiness and smoothness of the pasture. Fang Guolian and Yuan Ling met by chance, and they talked very well, at this time they shook hands and said goodbye, Fang Guolian wanted to make an appointment to meet, Yuan Ling smiled: "When you want to meet, you will meet unexpectedly." Then he said: "Brother Fang, take care, let's meet again in the future." With that, he turned and drifted away, disappearing into the twilight of the paste. Fang Guohuan looked at Yuan Ling in the distance, standing blankly, just like a dream, not sure whether it was true or false. Looking back and talking with Yuan Ling about the principle of the Great Road, there was suddenly a subtle feeling in my heart, and in a trance, there was a sense of birth.
