Luo Kun couldn't find Fang Guo, his heart was stunned, and when he walked all the way to the shore of Dongting Lake, his mood became relaxed, and he swept away the previous unhappiness. But see the eight hundred miles of Dongting, endless, rippling blue waves, water vapor in the sky, several islands in the lake are decorated in the meantime. In the reed flowers, a bird startled, a hundred birds flew together, the sand gulls flew low, suddenly frightened the fish in the water, the fishing boat loomed, as if galloping in the clouds. Luo Kun couldn't help but admire: "What a place in the world!" However, after waiting on the shore for a long time, there were no boats coming and going, but on the very far water, I occasionally saw a few white sails, which disappeared as soon as they appeared. Luo Kun was surprised in his heart: "Dongting Lake is famous all over the world, it is the land of fish and rice, and the land of scenic spots in the world, but why are boats so rare? "I searched all the way to the shore, and saw a temporary ferry, so I waited patiently.

At this moment, a small boat suddenly galloped out of the reeds, and only a man in gray was seen standing on the boat, although there was no one rowing with oars, but the boat moved freely. Seeing this, Luo Kun couldn't help but be taken aback. It turned out that the man took advantage of the rocking of the boat on the water, drove it from side to side with his legs, and skillfully drove the boat with his legs. Luo Kun was surprised: "There is such a powerful leg skill!" Incredible! ”

At this time, the man turned his waist and legs, and drove the boat to the shore crossing, and picked up a cable from the boat, flew ashore, and put the cable on a stake, and came with his hand. When he walked by Luo Kun's side, the man glanced sideways at Luo Kun and went ashore to go ashore. When Luo Kun saw this person closely, he couldn't help but be stunned, but this person's face was strangely long, much longer than that rare "horse-faced" person, and his face was covered with dense points, he was a strange and ugly person. Luo Kun was surprised in his heart: "There are such strange people in the world!" Looking at the person's distant back, Luo Kunyou exclaimed: "Although this person has an ugly face, his legs have divine power, and he is good at boating and boating, and he has no oars on his own, which is really incredible!" For a while, I was full of emotion and admiration.

Luo Kun waited at the ferry for a long time, and when he was impatient, he saw a boat coming from a distance, with seven or eight passengers on it, which was a fishing boat ferrying. The boat came to the shore, and one got up, paid for the boat, and went ashore. Luo Kun stepped forward and asked, "I wonder if your ship can pass through Shazhou Island?" I'm going to Gejia Village. The boat boss responded: "This boat is to Wuwang Ferry, there is no boat here directly to Shazhou Island, the little guest and get on my boat to Wuwang Ferry to change boats, otherwise when it gets dark, there will be no boat." After hearing this, Luo Kun knew that he had no choice but to do so, so he jumped on the bow of the boat lightly. The boss of the boat swayed his oars, and the boat slowly moved off the shore.

After Luo Kun got on the boat, he sat on the bow of the boat and asked the old man of the boat: "This big brother, why are there so few boats in the lake?" When the boat boss heard this, he shook his head and said: "The little guest doesn't know, in recent years, there has been a group of water thieves on the lake, hijacking ships and killing people, and the trouble is very serious. Those of us who make a living by fishing and ferrying have no other means of livelihood but to take a few risks to do business to feed our families and keep them from starving. After speaking, there was a sigh and sorrow. The guests on the ship, each holding their belongings, were all nervous.

Luo Kun frowned and said, "It turns out that there is a robbery in the lake, no wonder boats are rare." The boat boss said: "The Shazhou Island where the little guests go is deep in the lake, far from the shore, and there are few ferries to and fro. If you meet the fishing boat on the island at Wuwang Ferry, you may be able to take a small guest with you, otherwise the waterway is too far, and there is generally no ferry boat to dare to go. Luo Kun let out an "oh" sound, and said in his heart: "This gang of water thieves is so rampant, it is really hateful, and when I meet the master, I want to eradicate them and go to this place to bandit." ”

When the ferry passed by a field of reeds, the captain of the boat looked nervous and sped up the boat. At this moment, I suddenly heard a whistle in the reeds, and then I saw four fishing boats galloping out and surrounding, and the boats were full of fierce men, each armed with knives, guns, sticks and forks, and murderous. Seeing this, the ship's face immediately changed greatly, and he said in shock: "Water...... Water Pirates! "I was already trembling with fear, and I couldn't stop the boat. The passengers on the ship were huddled in the cabin in panic, as if a catastrophe was coming. Seeing that the incident happened suddenly, Luo Kun got up and stood in the boat to watch the changes. At this time, a big man with a double-strand iron fork on the pirate ship shouted: "Wait and leave the money and goods, so as not to hurt your life, if you dare to have a private thing, don't blame me for being ruthless." As he spoke, he commanded four pirate ships to come up. A few timid passengers were so frightened that they hurriedly put their luggage on the bow of the boat.

Luo Kun said at this time: "Don't panic, everyone! Turning around, he took the oars from the hands of the overwhelmed boat boss, held them in both hands, stood on the bow of the boat, and said, "Everyone, do you want to rob?" And you have to pass my level. "I have no fear. Seeing this, the big man led by the thieves was stunned at first, and then said angrily: "Boy, I don't know whether I live or die. With a wave of his hand, the pirates attacked. Luo Kun shouted: "Good come!" "Dancing the heavy oars, sweeping and shooting, left and right, the autumn wind swept the two fishing boats closer to the water like falling leaves, and the water thieves were unable to stop them. The thief with the iron fork was furious when he saw this, and when the ship approached, he shouted loudly and raised his fork to stab Luo Kun. Luo Kun saw it clearly, and hit the side of the oar, which was slapping on the fork bar. The big man was holding it very tightly, but suddenly felt a violent shock, the tiger's mouth cracked, the iron fork flew out of his hand, and the big man was also taken into the water. Seeing this, the group of thieves exclaimed, knowing that they had met a master, hurriedly rescued the big man and his accomplices who had fallen into the water, and drove the boat back in disarray. At this time, the captain of the ship and the passengers were in shock, and saw that Luo Kun had repelled the water thieves alone, and they all bowed down on the boat, but called for help. Luo Kun smiled and hurriedly helped everyone. A boatload of people then happily arrived at the ferry port of King Wu, and after thanking them again, the boatmen went ashore and dispersed.

At this time, the captain of the boat said to Luo Kun gratefully: "The little guest is a young hero, he saved the life of a boat, and there is nothing else to repay, I am willing to send the little guest to Shazhou Island." Luo Kunxi said: "Thank you so much." The boat boss swung his oars and carried Luo Kun towards the lake.

The boat had been on the lake for a long time, and it had been uneventful, when an island appeared on the lake in front of it. Chuanlao Avenue: "Little guest, this is Shazhou Island, Gejia Village is the Zhuangzi of the old man Ge Yunxiang on the island." When Luo Kun heard this, he said in his heart: "Master asked me to be here, could it be that I am visiting the person named Ge Yunxiang?" "I saw the sandbar island from afar, surrounded by water, the island was lush with trees, and the bamboo houses and wooden houses loomed in the middle, and the scenery was pleasant. Luo Kun praised: "What a good place! Not only is the scenery beautiful, but also isolated from the outside world, like that paradise. The boat boss smiled when he heard this: "The little guest doesn't seem to be from the water town, and there are many such places in the eight-hundred-mile Dongting Lake." As he spoke, the ship approached the island. Luo Kun took a silver ingot from his arms and handed it to the old boat: "There is labor to send each other, thank you for this." The boat boss hurriedly pushed but said: "I don't dare to accept the benefactor's boat money, and I should give the benefactor a ride." Luo Kun put the silver on the bow of the ship and said, "You're welcome, there will be a period later." With a slight leap of his body, he had reached the shore, and the boss of the boat bowed to Luo Kun's back on the boat.

Luo Kun came to the island, and saw that although this sandbar island is far away in the lake, it is no different from the land, with high mountains and flowing water, rice fields and vegetable gardens, a charming scenery. After finding Gejia Village and asking for the path, Luo Kun came to a big mansion and stepped forward to gently tap the door knocker. There was not much time, and a man who looked like a housekeeper came out and asked, "What's the matter?" Luo Kun bowed his hand and said, "Excuse me, is this Mr. Ge Yunxiang's mansion?" The man said, "Yes, who are you looking for?" Luo Kun said: "A few days ago, did a gentleman surnamed Gu come?" That's the tutor, and he asked me to meet here. When the man heard this, he hurriedly looked Luo Kun up and down, and suddenly said with joy: "You are Luo Kun's son?" Luo Kun was surprised when he heard this: "Yes, it's Luo, how does Mr. know my name?" The man said: "Early yesterday morning, when my lord and his visiting old friend Mr. Gu went out to run errands, they specially instructed the villain, saying that Mr. Gu's apprentice might come to the house in the past two days, and told the name of the son, and asked the villain to wait for the good life, but I didn't expect Mr. Luo to come so soon." As he spoke, he hurriedly let Luo Kun into the door and led him to the living room.

Luo Kun said: "What? The tutor is not at home? The man said: "When the old man was leaving, he said that he was going to do something important with Mr. Gu, and he would delay it for a few days, so Luo Gongzi waited with peace of mind." While he was talking, he came to the drawing-room, and sat down, and a servant offered tea. The man stretched out his hand and let go, and then said: "Villain Ge Liu, he is the housekeeper here, if there is anything wrong with Master Luo, just give an order, don't be polite." Luo Kun thanked him, and thought in his heart: "What is the important thing that Master is going to do, and he is in such a hurry?" Let's wait for Master to come back. Luo Kun then settled in Gejia Village.

Besides, since Fang Guohuan entered that state of forgetting chess and doing nothing, more than ten days have passed, and his expression has become more and more confused, and gradually, the monks of Tianyuan Temple can't tell who is who, everyone is very anxious, but there is nothing to do. Master Kuyuan rummaged through the classics, but he didn't find any good solutions, and he already had remorse in his heart, and Tianyuan Temple was in a heavy atmosphere of uneasiness.

On this day, Fang Guohuan was even more dazed, but he sat on the stone bed in the Baiyun Cave in a daze. In a trance, I feel that everything in heaven and earth has faded and does not exist, and I don't know who I am, where I came from, and where I am going. Then I felt that my house was floating in the void, boundless, with no one to land, and suddenly there was a sense of sadness and fear, and then it faded. The mind wandered, as if flying into the clear night sky, the stars twinkled brightly, a bright moon hung in the center of the sky, the sky was blue, and the scene became clearer. The sky is like a chessboard, the stars are like children, the nine stars are distributed, the first day and the moon are fixed, all kinds of stars are presented in the meantime, the three walls and twenty-eight houses are hung in the sky, the stars are divided into sizes, and the light is strong and weak. Suddenly, countless meteors fell in all directions, scattered among all kinds of stars. The starry sky changes, and for a time it presents a kaleidoscopic star situation...... The heart and the heavens are all unclear.

It was as long as millions of years had passed, and something suddenly exploded in my head, but I felt a light on my forehead, and God returned to its original place. With a sense of sudden enlightenment, like an initiation, the whole body is excited, and for a while, all the tricks are unblocked, the heart is happy, and the joy is extreme, and he opens his mouth to say "ha". This sound called Fang Guohuan back from the wonderful realm, and when he opened his eyes, the monks of Tianyuan Temple were already located in the cave. It turned out that Fang Guolian's "ha" sound was a full of haoran breath from the mouth, and the monks felt that the sound was like a bell, loud and clear, and it shook in the hole, straight out of the hole, as if it was a stick to drink. Everyone was stirred by this voice, straight into their ears, and seemed to open the pores of the body from the inside, and immediately felt a hundred bones numb, and there was indescribable comfort. Master Kuyuan said with joy on his face at this time: "It's done!" Immediately the monks began to cheer.

At this time, Fang Guohuan felt refreshed, his whole body melted, he stood up happily, stepped forward and bowed down in front of Master Ku Yuan, and said, "Master, the disciple seems to have reached the Tianyuan Transformation Realm. Master Kuyuan was already so excited that he burst into tears, and he helped Fang Guochuan with both hands and said: "Juan'er, you have sat for seven days and seven nights, and finally achieved the right result in chess, not 'seem to have realized', but the highest chess realm that is truly enlightened and has done everything, congratulations!" Fa Neng said on the side: "Senior brother, I haven't eaten or drunk for seven days and seven nights, I'm hungry, I have tea and snacks here." Fang Guohuan smiled: "I don't seem to feel anything." Master Kuyuan said: "Meditation and concentration on enlightenment, the energy consumption is very small, seven days are like a day, and there is no sense of hunger and thirst." Fa Yang stepped forward and said: "The junior brother has already achieved the chess of the transformation realm, I don't know what kind of wonderful realm it is?" Fang Guolian said: "The chess path seen in the realm of enlightenment is to be in harmony with the heavens, the distribution of nine stars, the moon of the first day of the day, the so-called heaven as the chessboard, the stars as the son, is such a realm." It can be seen that the chess masters, whether it is placed by Di Yao or invented by sages, should be made in response to heaven. ”

Since then, Fang Guolian's chess style has changed greatly, but the overall situation is laid out in the middle of the abdomen with a star-like formula, such as the "Big Dipper" layout method, getting up with seven sons to arrange the handle, occupying the general trend of the chessboard, not occupying the corners with the normal potential, and unifying the "earth" with "heaven", which is the chess of the Tianyuan realm. Since then, Fang Guohuan has been arbitrarily on the chessboard, and has reached the realm of immortalization of doing whatever he wants and doing everything. Master Ku Yuan, Fa Yang and the others were very surprised to see that Fang Guohuan had actually perceived and mastered the astronomical astrological form from the realm of enlightenment, so they tried to play against the realm chess with Fang Guolian.

Master Ku Yuan and Fang Guolian played the first game, and Fang Guolian said: "Let the master have three sons first, and then win the third son." The monks were shocked, and then they tried. In the second game of the game with Fayang, Fang Guolian said: "There is a saying in the chess of the senior brother that 'all the games are eaten, and no one is left', and it should be defeated in order to polish its nature." Later, as he said, the monks were impressed. Fang Guohuan played another game with Fa Wu, only half a son ahead, and the monks asked why. Fang Guochuan said: "Your own chess strength can be applied with the opponent's chess strength, those with high chess strength should follow its high, and those with low chess strength should follow its low, always leading with one or half a son, so as to stimulate the opponent's chess interest, and not make it feel negative and disheartened." Master Ku Yuan sighed in his heart: "The way of chess to the Zhuan'er here, has changed strangely, in the eyes of the Zhuan'er, the chess has lost the momentum of attack, defense and killing, the ability to save and resist, the chess realm is sensible, can lead to the combination, the layout of the fortune, the general trend, the ancient and modern national players are no longer out of the way, this is the real chess realm - Tianyuan realm!" ”

Later, Fang Guolian consulted astronomical classics in the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion of Tianyuan Temple, and obtained "Sancai Tuhui" and "Book of Jin". Astronomical Chronicles", "Shi's Star Classic" and other astronomical books of the past dynasties. I even found a volume of "Western Star Sea Chart" in the book, which is a book written by Westerners to study astronomical constellations, and there are similarities and differences with those described in books such as "Sancai Tuhui". This book is the previous monk visit Tianyuan Temple remains, now by Fang Guohuan obtained, so the book and the night view of the sky, and then to the enlightenment of the stars to see, the constellation that can be used to play a total of seventy-seven stars, the book of the score, said "Tianxing Chess Score", collected in the Tianyuan Temple.
