Chapter 18: This Is Not a Chessboard, This Is a Field!
However, what Fang Tian didn't expect was that two days later, in Giant Rock City, Sharjah and an old man sat opposite each other, and in the middle of the two people, there was another pair of Go.
At this time, Sharjah was demonstrating the rules of Go obtained from Fang Tian to the old man little by little.
"Teacher, that's all for the specific rules. After the presentation, Sharjah said respectfully.
The old man stretched out his hand and picked up the chess pieces on the chessboard, slowly fiddled with them for a moment according to the rules that Sharjah had said, and then closed his eyes and went into meditation! Sharjah was not surprised, but waited quietly.
That's three days!
At noon on the third day, the old man finally opened his eyes slowly, looked at Sharjah who was sitting opposite, and the first thing he said was: "O master!" and then the second sentence said: "Sharjah, come, you come and play a game with me." ”
Soon the chessboard was emptied, and the two began to fall one after the other.
Both of them moved relatively quickly, but it took about half an hour for the game to come to an end.
"Teacher, I lost. Sharjah said.
The old man didn't answer, just nodded, and then said, "Come again." ”
And so another round began.
In this game, the old man easily slaughtered the great dragon of Sharjah. And throughout the game, Sharjah felt as if he was the meat on the board, without the slightest power to resist.
The third set.
In this game, the old man's chess style has changed greatly. It became like the wind, rushing forward and backward, flying left and right, completely confusing Sharjah.
As a result, before you know it, the great dragon of Sharjah has been killed again!
Even until the moment he was completely killed, Sharjah did not see the entire chessboard clearly.
"Sharjah, you will never win if you do this. The old man said lightly.
"Teacher, what do you mean?"
"You read the passage from the tenth chapter of Journey to the West to me. ”
For people who have reached the level of two people, it is really a small thing that is not worth mentioning. Hearing the old man's words, Sharjah didn't even hesitate at all, so he slowly recited the passage word by word:
The way of gambling is expensive and rigorous. The higher one is in the abdomen, the lower one is on the side, and the middle one is in the corner, which is the common method of chess players.
The law said:
I'd rather lose a son than lose a first. If you hit the left, you will look to the right, and if you attack the back, you will look forward. There is a first, and there is a last. Don't break off the two lives, don't connect the two lives. Not too sparse, not too dense. Rather than love a son to survive, it is better to abandon it and take the momentum; than to do nothing and go alone, it is better to fix it and make up for it. We are few and we are the first to make a living; Those who are good at winning will not fight, those who are good at fighting will not fight, those who are good at fighting will not be defeated, and those who are good at defeating will not be chaotic. The husband chess begins with the right coincidence, and ends with a strange victory. Those who make up for themselves when the enemy has nothing to do have have the intention of invading, and those who abandon the small and do not save themselves have the intention of wanting to be big. Those who go down with their hands are those who have no plans, and those who do not think about responding are the way to defeat.
Sharjah paused here for a moment, and then continued with the remaining four sentences: "The chessboard is the earth, the son is the sky, and the color is created according to yin and yang." went down to the Xuanwei Change, and laughed and praised the rotten Ke Xian that day. ”
When Sharjah finished reading, the old man tapped the chessboard lightly with his fingers, "Sharjah, you have disappointed me a little." The old man didn't look at Sharjah either, just stared at the chessboard and chess pieces, and said slowly.
"Please ask the teacher for advice!"
Sharjah didn't dare to sit any longer, so he stood up, took a few steps back, and listened respectfully like a young apprentice who had just started.
"The higher is in the belly, the lower is in the side, and the middle is in the corner. -- What is the belly? The capital of this country is the belly! What is the corner? The Giant Rock City is the corner! Linhai City is the corner! What is the border? The town of Red Rock is the border! The town of Mingyue is the border! The town of Sampu is the edge!"
"It's better to lose a son than to lose a first. -- What does it mean to lose a son rather than lose the first? That is, the following and his lover should survive than abandon their son and take advantage!"
"Rather than doing nothing alone, it is better to make up for it by sticking to it. -- What does it mean to walk alone with nothing to do? It is to blindly pursue new things. What does it mean to be solid and self-replenishing? It is to tap and use every magic you know to be the highest, the biggest, and the strongest!"
"What do you mean by being outnumbered and making a living first? It is to find a foothold first, to find a place where you can establish your foothold, and then you can win according to the situation and be strong because of victory!"
"What do you mean by me, who are outnumbered, and who are strong? It's that when you, a quasi-mage, want to destroy Redstone Town, you don't need to rush to do anything at all, as long as you release the news, they themselves will be divided, they will collapse, they will collapse!"
......
The old man said word by word, his voice was not loud, but it was like thunder, and it exploded in Sharjah's heart.
After finishing the passage that Sharjah had just recited, the old man finally summed it up and said: "What is this? This is not a play, this is a killing and robbery! This is not a chessboard, this is a realm! This is a realm that belongs only to the strong!"
Sharjah's heart was shaken, and he couldn't help himself.
I only heard the old man continue to say: "We are magicians, can you sometimes engrave the four elements of magicians in your hearts all the time? When I played with you just now, in the first game, I used earth-based magic on you, and the word 'entanglement' was displayed on the chessboard, but you were at a loss. In the second game, I used fire magic on you, and I used the chessboard to cast the word 'boom', and you still didn't realize it. In the third game, I used wind magic on you, demonstrating the essence of wind magic for you, and you still didn't realize it! Do you want me to use all the four major elemental magic for you, and then you tell me again, from beginning to end, you don't even realize anything? With this understanding, how can you become a magician! Even if you become a magician, I can use the power of a magic apprentice to kill you!"
Sharjah pounced, fell to his knees, and did not dare to speak, but leaned down deeply and put his head on the ground.
"Get up. After a while, the old man said slowly.
After Sharjah got up, the old man said, "Actually, I don't blame you. In thirty years, you can cultivate to the point where you have one foot on the threshold of a magician, Sharjah, the teacher is already very satisfied with you. But, Sharjah, today, the teacher also wants to tell you that since we are magicians, then magic is one qiē! The four elements are one qiē! Conversely, every qiē in this world is also magic!
Sharjah was fascinated and listened respectfully.
At this time, Sharjah only felt that the teacher in front of him had turned into wind, clouds, torrential rain, thunder, thick earth, and the vast sea......
In the end, it became the whole world!
"Teacher, the disciple must not dare to live up to the teacher's teachings! In this life, the disciple does not dare to expect to reach the same level as the teacher, but he must also give up his life and do his best, and one day, let this heaven and earth, let these elements, recognize my existence and follow my orders!"
Hearing this, the old man finally smiled, nodded and smiled, and then said to Sharjah:
"The chessboard is the earth, the son is the sky, and the color is created according to yin and yang. went down to the Xuanwei Change, and laughed and praised the rotten Ke Xian that day. This thing is an extraordinary thing, and it lives up to the name of rotten Ke. Its subtlety and mystery are really indescribable, and in just three days of enlightenment, I have benefited immensely from it, and even the road in front of me will be free of fog! In twenty years, I will go straight to the holy realm. ”
"Sharjah, I'm waiting for you in the Sanctuary!"
