In Changling, Yang Fan sat on the chessboard. He came by boat, but he never entered the city, and no one knew that he had arrived in Beijing.

He's watching a game of chess, a big game, something unbelievably big. The grave keeper sat opposite, looked at Yang Fan, and said, "It's been seven days, aren't you ready to go back to Beijing?" ”

The river in front of Changling is very clear. It was just early spring, and the weather in the north was still very cold. Yang Fan shook his head and looked at the half-played chess.

"If you look farther and stick to small details, you won't be able to see the big picture clearly."

"What's the big picture?"

"Heaven and earth, landscape, how?"

Heaven and earth are plates, and mountains and rivers are children. He couldn't think of anyone who could play a game of chess like ever. The mountain is yang, the water is yin, yin and yang are combined, and there are thousands of creations.

Looking at it, thousands of mountains and rivers, yin and yang; Converge in a corner, the mountains and rivers are self-contained, and the creation is different.

Yang Fan said with a smile: "The seniors look up. I just wanted to ask a question. ”

"Let's finish this game first."

Yang Fan said bitterly: "But I really can't play chess in the game." ”

The old man shook his head and said, "In this chess, there is no such thing as being able to play and not being able to play. For ordinary people, chess is just a form of leisure and entertainment, and for us, it is just a kind of sustenance and conjecture for enlightenment. Since the Great Dao in your heart has just come to fruition, why not let him manifest it? "In the past, the grave keeper played chess with the three idiots for recreation. Now playing chess with Yang Fan, but it is an insight.

Yang Fan fell. He didn't know how to play it, he just landed in one place as he pleased. He thinks that where this son should fall, it will fall. I have seen the river gushing. After seeing Danshan Kecheng, Yang Fan's chess is magnificent.

The old man smiled from time to time. Nodding and twisting his beard from time to time.

If ordinary people are on the side, the more they look at it, the stranger it becomes. This chess game is ...... It's just two stinky chess baskets playing around.

A game of chess was finally stuffed into the entire chessboard by the grave keeper and Yang Fan alone.

"Not bad. He Xingsan has played chess for more than ten years, and has never won a game of chess in my hands. You have the general trend, but you are almost fine. ”

Yang Fan hugged his fists and said, "Please ask your seniors for guidance." ”

"Build a wall." The old man laughed.

"Build a wall?"

"That's right, build a wall." The old man pointed to this game of chess and said, "Look at this game of chess, it seems that the rules and regulations have momentum, but after careful scrutiny, ponder it." None of the places are justified. I'm not talking to you about chess. If we really learn chess, it's like drawing a drawing before building a wall, and finally, the wall can be built, but it is limited to what the drawing looks like. What you have to do now is to build the wall, don't think about how complicated it is, choose a little bit of your framework. Carved it with complete contemplation. ”

"Perception, sometimes it's just a moment. The breakthrough of the innate realm is often a matter of an instant. But it didn't happen overnight. A lot of times, it's about an opportunity. And patience is the key to breaking through the innate realm. ”

"And how high and thick is this wall going to be?"

The old man guarding the tomb nodded and said with satisfaction: "The son can be taught, you asked very well." A large building. What kind of height you want to build has to be decided by the foundation. The foundation is solid, and it must be built into a large building. This wall. It also has to be thick. If you only want to build a thatched house, it's very simple, the old man can raise your realm to the innate realm at any time. However, that's all there is to your cultivation. ”

Yang Fan nodded and said, "I've been taught." His bow came from the heart. Originally, he came to Changling, not to ask the tomb keeper for advice on the problem of cultivation, but to come to apologize, before leaving Beijing, he did not have time to apologize to the old man, so he came to condole, but also for the three idiots to come to see. Unexpectedly, as soon as he came over, the old man didn't say anything, just sat down and played chess with him.

The old man guarding the tomb said: "I don't know whose handiwork you have in this hall, but if you really want to build this palace, you still have a long way to go." At the very least, you'll have to build the foundation wall first. ”

"Senior, is this chess black and white, and the road is black and white?" Yang Fan's question was asked more broadly.

"The black and white of the Tao is nothing but good and evil."

Yang Fan nodded and asked, "I've heard before that one thing is beneficial to most people in the world, and that is goodness and justice; And if there is one thing that is not beneficial or even harmful to most people in the world, it is evil. Is this the difference between black and white? If there is no evil, wouldn't there even be no need to distinguish between black and white? Since there is no distinction between black and white, isn't it a reversal of right and wrong? ”

The old man guarding the tomb shook his head and said, "This heaven and earth are like a huge yin and yang circle diagram, with the four seasons alternating, sunrise and sunset. We live in this yin-yang diagram, like a point in it, although it cannot change any part of the yin-yang diagram, but it can promote the alternation of this yin-yang diagram. You do good deeds, the white fish swims, you do evil things, the black fish moves, but this yin-yang diagram will always remain relatively stable. ”

Yang Fan thought for a long time, and then said: "Liang Shang gentleman, he likes to steal. The head catcher specializes in arresting bandits. If there is no such gentleman on the beam, the head catcher will have nothing to eat. Is it the principle of yin and yang balancing? ”

The old man guarding the tomb smiled: "The evil in the world is inexhaustible. If there is no evil, then how can there be good? The so-called good and evil are only relative. Just like this yin-yang circle, black and white are opposite. If there is no white, then what is black? What is its opposite? ”

"Your question, I can't answer and I don't need to answer. Everything in the world must be reversed. There is no such thing as a complete absolute, so there is no need to go to such extremes. Your comprehension is very high, and the breakthrough of the innate realm is only a matter of one step in the door. In a flash, I crossed this moat. ”

"This step, you can't take it, no matter how gorgeous this palace is, you can only look at it. This is the biggest test and the biggest obstacle for you. Because you need to build this temple, you need to pay more than others, that is to say, every step you take in the future will be very difficult. I hope you're prepared for this. ”

Yang Fan nodded, led the carriage over, and said, "I've been bothered for the past few days, I figured it out, it's time to go back to Beijing." Thank you. ”

"You're welcome. It's time for me to go over and get ready. ”

Yang Fan bowed and said, "See you later." ”

Qingshui Long Bridge, the tomb keeper walked by, the cold wind blew lightly, he glanced back at the dragon eye on the dragon shadow wall, and murmured: "After guarding the mausoleum for a lifetime, I can't get out." He thought for a long time and hurried to Changling. In the imperial tomb, only the tomb keeper can enter and leave the palace at will. (To be continued......)
