"Hong'er, have you been boxing in the yard for a day?" Xu Tianhao shook his head while asking Xu Hong, who was covered in sweat.

"I feel that my body is very hot, and I should be able to open the sea of qi soon!" Xu Hong replied loudly.

"Actually......" Xu Tianhao just wanted to say, but was interrupted by Xu Hong.

"Father, don't persuade me, I just want to open the sea of qi and become a cultivator!" Xu Hong said firmly.

"Hong'er, did you fight for another day?" asked Xu Tianhao.

"Yes, I feel more and more flexible, Zhang Tao and the family can't beat me. Xu Hong said confidently.

"Or ......" Xu Tianhao didn't finish speaking, and was interrupted by Xu Hong again.

"Father, I'm about to succeed, I'll talk about something else when the sea of qi is opened!" Xu Hong still said loudly.

Three months have passed, half a year has passed, and a year has passed.

"Why, why?" Xu Hong's fist slammed hard into the tree, and the leaves on it kept falling down.

A big hand patted Xu Hong's shoulder from behind, Xu Hong wiped his tears, didn't look back, and then punched the tree.

The man behind sighed and left.

Another few days passed.

"Yo, yo, yo, it's not ......," the cousin whistled.

"Wow!Wow!Wow!Tapp! tap......"

"Woo!woo!Woo!Woo!Wait for me......," the cousin cried and left.

Another few months passed.

Xu Hong was on his knees, panting, it was not dark today, and his physical strength had been used up in advance.

A scoop of water was handed over, Xu Hong took the water and drank it dry in one go.

"Hong'er, are you tired? Why don't you take a break, how about your father play a game of chess with you?" Xu Tianhao's voice sounded in Xu Hong's ears.

"I want to open ......" This time Xu Hong hadn't finished speaking, but this time he was interrupted by Xu Tianhao.

"Actually, as a cultivator, in addition to opening the sea of qi and cultivating the Xuan Qi, there is one of the most important things. Xu Tianhao said.

As soon as he heard the words of cultivation, Xu Hong's eyes widened, and he hurriedly grabbed Xu Tianhao.

"What is it?"

Xu Tianhao pointed to his chest.

Xu Hong understood what his father said, but his eyes rolled and he said, "My father is not a cultivator, and my father also guessed, if my grandfather said the same, I would believe it." ”

The next day, my grandfather came over with a smile, but Xu Hong was afraid that his grandfather had colluded with his father, and wanted to let him rest and delay the progress of his own Qi Sea, so he said that he would not believe it until his uncle came.

On the third day, my uncle came with a bitter face, Xu Tianhao took Xu Hong and looked at my uncle, and my uncle kept saying yes, just like your father said.

So Xu Hong stopped practicing boxing.

"Hong'er, I don't have many hobbies for my father, I usually play chess to pass the time, and I often feel that the world is like chess, unpredictable, and the principle of playing chess is actually the same as practice, so I teach you to play chess for my father. Xu Tianhao said as he set up the chessboard.

Xu Hong hadn't heard this kind of reasoning, he was a little confused, looking at his grandfather and uncle next to him, their heads were like pounding garlic, Xu Hong turned his head back and followed Xu Tianhao to play chess.

"My father taught you the game of chess today, taught you this game, and only taught you this game, because my father only knows this game. Xu Tianhao said.

Then Xu Tianhao began to play chess, Xu Hong was watching from the side, and his uncle and grandfather were not interested in playing chess, and they kept pacing beside them, hoping to end it early.

"Grasshoppers and sandflies are weak insects, even if a drop of rain falls from the sky, it may kill them, it can be said that they are very weak, but the grasshoppers and sandflies are powerful, Hong'er, do you know why? Xu Tianhao asked.

"Why are they so weak and powerful?" asked Xu Hong, puzzled.

"At the beginning, our strength was also very weak, at that time there were no such cultivators with superb demeanor and resounding throughout the world, some were just hungry and panicked all day long, not to mention dragons, phoenixes and other divine beasts, even ordinary jackals, tigers and leopards threatened the survival of people. Xu Tianhao had already set up the chess, and then began to fall.

"Now, not to mention the Divine Realm, the cultivators of the Sanqing Realm can turn over the rivers and seas, move mountains and slay dragons, and now in any larger city, where are there still the shadows of jackals, tigers and leopards around? ”

The chess pieces on both sides of Xu Tianhao were playing at the same time, and with his voice, there were more and more pieces, but it was obvious that the attack of the sunspot was already fierce, and there were more and more pieces on both sides that were eaten, and the white pieces used by Xu Tianhao were about to lose.

"Why can small insects like grasshoppers survive compared to powerful beasts such as jackals, tigers, leopards, and spirit dragons and phoenixes? Even if he is a person in the god realm, he can say that he can go into the clouds to kill the Nine Heavens Dragon and go down to the Netherworld to slaughter the abyss ghosts, but can he dare to say that he can kill all the worms in the world?"

At this time, although Baizi had few children, the first few moves of idle chess began to play a role, and every time Kuroko's lore game was lost, because of the advance position of those few idle moves.

Then Kuroko's repeated attacks were in vain, and finally Kuroko made a fatal mistake and was caught by Baizi, losing the Kuroko who attacked at the front, not only that, but the follow-up Baizi and the first few moves, formed a sharp knife, through Kuroko's defense, through the opponent's hinterland, and smashed Huanglong!

"The way of the grasshopper lies in its own weakness, first no desire, no desire, no contention, no self, waiting for the other party's stormy offensive, although it seems to be a stormy situation, but it can not attack, waiting for the death to come back to life, and then not humble and not overbearing, not slow, waiting for the opportunity, waiting for the other party's initial bravery, and then decaying and exhausting, waiting for the opportunity to counterattack, mourning the army to win, even if the opponent is thousands of miles high, it will inevitably be destroyed by the encroachment of our ant gathering. ”

Then Xu Hong looked at this game of chess and was very surprised. Kuroko took the lead, and at the beginning, the male soldiers gathered and attacked in full gear, and the momentum was like a bamboo, but in the end the front was isolated and helpless, and the rear was beheaded by the heart, and the defeat was so defeated that it could not be defeated again.

Xu Tianhao touched Xu Hong's head and said: "Life is like chess, and so is practice, although today my father deduced the chess game for you, and I want you to have another way of looking at things, but I still hope that the principles taught to you today are the same as the chess game, and you won't need it in the future, so continue to practice." ”

After Xu Hong heard that he continued to practice, he nodded vigorously and ran to the yard under the tree to continue boxing.

Memories of the past appeared in his mind like a marquee, and Xu Hong couldn't help but recall his father's teachings.

Xu Hong thought back to this, and couldn't help but smile bitterly, because he was ten years old that year, and after that, he was full of calculations, and he practiced like this every day for four years, but in the end, he still relied on the sea of qi that was opened by chance, thinking of this, he sighed.
