Taniguchi spring remnants of yellow birds are scarce, and Xinyi flowers are full of apricot blossoms flying. Under the window of the bamboo mountain, I will not change the yin and wait for me to return.

This is a poem written by a person named Qian Qi in the Tang Dynasty in the previous life, entitled "Returning to the Hometown of Mountain Cottage in Late Spring".

The world has changed, and so have many feelings. This is not to say that in the previous life he was an ordinary person and in this life he is a cultivator, nor that as a cultivator, there have been earth-shaking changes in both aspects of body and mind, but some of the most basic things that I see in my daily life.

For example, there are years passing here, but there is no spring, summer, autumn and winter. As for Xinyi flowers, apricot blossoms or anything, there are none. In addition, there are many things, ordinary in the past life, which can be seen everywhere, and here, even if you have traveled through thousands of mountains and rivers, you may not be able to find any traces.

Such similarities and differences, when I first came to this life, sometimes I thought of it, and it would bring some sadness to Fang Tian, but slowly, the similarities and differences are just similarities and differences, and they are different scenery, and after "this place of peace is my hometown", and then recall all kinds of previous lives, some are just warm.

Speaking of the season, this is the end of spring, speaking of the scenery, there are also bamboos here.

Maybe it's because I like the delicacy of bamboo shoots, maybe it's because the exercise in the bamboo forest and mountains makes Xiao Loli remember it deeply, or maybe it's because Fang Tian wrote a lot of things with bamboo slices (bamboo slips) for her, or maybe as a little girl, she instinctively likes the slender and handsome appearance of bamboo?

In short, little Loli loves bamboo.

Seven Star Island, the first island was occupied by Xiao Loli at the beginning, who made her the most qualified among a group of rookies who had not entered the mage? Not to mention that Fang Tian also specially laid out a "Ten Perfect Supplement Array" for her later, so this little pot friend became the actual owner of the first island.

This little island owner used to be outside of cultivation for a while. I like to pull her little sister Little Ivy together and decorate this island, of course. The main project of decoration is tree planting, and now this island can be regarded as the most beautiful of the seven islands, and its main feature is that there is a row of peach blossoms along the coast, and there are several square meters of lush bamboo on the island.

I have to say that aesthetically, the two little girls still have such a brush. Take transplanted bamboo as an example, one of the small bamboo forests is sparse and dense. The height is orderly, there is a hill on the side, and there is a small pavilion on the mountain, standing on the pavilion. Feel free to look at your feet. You can see a small shallow pool, in which the water splashes, the aquatic plants sway, and at the bottom of the aquatic plants, the pebbles are lovely and warm in the sun.

Such a small scene, which was nothing new, made Fang Tian feel pleasing to the eye, which showed that its arrangement was still quite painstaking.

At this time. Right on the edge of this small bamboo forest, there were six people.

Little loli. Little Ivy, Sharjah, Sale, Galodos.

And Fang Tian.

Regardless of Fang Tian himself, the relationship between the other five people and Fang Tian was a bit unusual. Little Loli and Little Ivy and Sharjah don't talk about it, just say the other two, Sailer has the grace to save Fang Tian's life, and Galodos has the virtue of teaching art to Fang Tian.

Of course, this was not the reason why the two of them appeared by Fang Tian's side at this time, but simply by chance. -- They are chess friends.

Xiao Loli was taught backgammon by Fang Tian, but Fang Tian didn't often play with her, so Xiao Ivy was naturally developed into a chess friend by her. And as the practice of the two deepened, backgammon slowly became a little less energetic, so after that, Go naturally appeared naturally. Today, the two young chess players are quite weak.

Needless to say, Sharjah is the first person in the indigenous world to be poisoned, and Fang Tian has developed into an addict to Go, and Go has almost been imprinted into his life, and he will feel uncomfortable not touching the chessboard for a day.

Sailer, like Gallodos, was happy at first sight of Go, and gradually fell in love with it, and the two once had a record of playing against each other for ten days, which was a full ten days and ten nights. Although this is not a long time for a great mage, it is actually terrifying enough.

Since Sharjah came here again, after breakfast, or dinner, or afternoon, if nothing happened, Fang Tian would usually play three games with Sharjah, which was the practice of the meeting in Redstone Town a long time ago.

Another convention is that the outcome of a game of chess is always that Fang Tian always wins, and Sharjah loses. - Sharjah used to have days of anti-abuse, but unfortunately the good times always go in a hurry, and before this Excellency can savor it, those good days are gone.

And with Fang Tian's current level, he abused Sharjah, it was simply abusing as much as he wanted.

When the two play, Sailor and Galodos are frequent spectators, and little Loli and Little Ivy occasionally watch from the sidelines, but the first two are real audiences, and the last two are purely playing soy sauce, with the current level of the two little girls, looking at the game between Fang Tian and Sharjah, it will still be foggy and braked, and there will be many places where you don't understand.

Today is a bit of an exception, though.

"Girl, come and sit down, let's have the next plate first. Fang Tian said to little Ivy.

"Brother, me?" little Ivy was obviously a little surprised.

"Hmm. Fang Tian nodded.

There was no second word, little Ivy came over, and after sitting down, the black went first, and as for Xiao Loli, Sharjah, Sale, and Galodos, they were temporarily bystanders.

Little Ivy is very careful, and she thinks about it many times every time, of course, this is understandable, but the result will not be the same. After about a magic hour, little Ivy slaughtered Fang Tian's great dragon, and as a result, she lost.

That's right, slaughtered the opponent's dragon, and lost as a result.

When the victory or defeat was announced, it could be seen that little Ivy was a little blind, and as for little Loli, she was almost stammered.

Both of them were promoted to mages before the month of October (Xiao Ivy did not take the path of a mage, but it can be regarded as a grade), it stands to reason that even if the age is young, the level is not virtual in the end, and there should be no fuss when they are idle, and before, Xiao Ivy was almost all the way superior, and the two of them may have thought that Fang Tian was letting it go.

I really didn't expect it to turn out like this.

As for Little Ivy's choice of Tu Fangtian's dragon, it was a last resort, because if she didn't fight to the death, she couldn't see any hope of having an advantage on the chessboard. Rather than being suppressed until death, it is better to choose to kill, okay......

Well. Don't expect to win, but count on losing a little less.

However, this game, whether it is the process of the game or the result of the game, is something she could not have imagined before.

"At the beginning of the practice, we have to see greatness and go to greatness. To see one, to go to one, therefore. Gather less into more, accumulate small into large, turn zero into whole, and turn whole into one. It's the most basic purpose. "Fang Tian is also to little Ivy and to little Loli. said lightly to the two girls at the same time.

"You've all been there now. ”

"Just like the change of time in this day, January has a month's scenery, February has a February landscape, May has a May landscape, August has an August landscape, each time the scenery is different, but they are all right, reasonable, and have their own 'Tao'. About that. Do you understand?"

Little Ivy and Little Loli both nodded.

"It's the same with spiritual practice. In the previous stage, you gathered small into a lot, and accumulated small into a big one. Turn the zero into the whole, the whole into one, and now, it is almost the other way around, to turn the whole into zero, to turn the big into the small, and then, to see the small and know the small, to know that all great must come from the ordinary. To put it simply, it is to appreciate the majesty of a tree, the fragrance of a flower, the uprightness of a tree, and the tenacity of a grass. ”

"Girl, just now you lost and you only saw the big, not the small, and then won on the big, lost on the small, you won me a five, I won you six one. Fang Tian said with a smile.

"Brother, I see. Little Ivy pondered and said slowly.

"This is where you are next. Fang Tian turned his head to Xiao Loli again, and then said, "Okay, you guys can play." ”

After the two left, it was the game between Fang Tian and Sharjah.

The process of the game is naturally very different from the one just now, but the result is the same. Under Fang Tian's urgency, Sharjah still showed a flaw that was not a flaw, and then the result was that Sharjah lost by a very narrow disadvantage.

"In the game, many times it is not your own side that wins, but the other side loses. It is sometimes a good way to take one step at a time, advance steadily, contain but not kill, and force the opponent to mess up and make mistakes. Fang Tian said slowly.

Sharjah nodded.

This truth is not that Sharjah does not understand, or a long time ago, in the game, he understood this truth, the teacher wrote to him in the explanation of the "Nine Grades of Go", he also said this truth, but the understanding in the past is really not as profound as it is now, Fang Tian directly used this whole game of chess, from beginning to end, he was just telling him this thing.

"The purpose of the Archmage is perfection, what is perfection? Perfection is not leaking, there are no loopholes. ”

"No loophole means that you can't win a duel with anyone, but you can't lose. ”

Hearing this, Sharjah and Sale, as well as Galodos, all nodded. Sharjah is the authority just now, and he couldn't be more impressed by the game just now, Galodos is an archmage, and he instinctively agrees with this truth, as for Saylor, as an archmage and the chief dispatcher of the Southern Regions, especially in the latter capacity, he has been exposed to many affairs, which makes him feel even more deeply about this.

Many times, it really is, not to lose, is to win.

When you win, it's often not that you win, but that your opponents have lost, lost for various reasons, and then you're out, leaving you who haven't lost and appearing as a winner.

So fundamentally, there are no winners, there are just non-losers.

In terms of the practice of a magician, if you don't have a talent for magic, or if you have a talent but you don't get the teacher to get started, you haven't entered the game at all, so you can't talk about any victory or defeat, and after getting started, some lose because of poor qualifications, some fail because the teacher's inheritance or teaching is not up to date, and some fail because you don't practice diligently......

There are always a lot of reasons like this and that, and a lot of people fall behind, stagnate, and then go out.

The one who is not out of the game is the one who can keep going......

When he understood this, Sharjah was stupid, Sele was stupid, and Galodos was also stupid. For a while, the three of them all fell into the nostalgia for their own cultivation, and they didn't come back to their senses until Fang Tianqing coughed.

When Fang Tian's gaze looked over, both Sailer and Garodos were full of anticipation, but also with a little excitement and nervousness.

In the first game just now, Fang Tian guided the two girls to embark on the path of the first method from a new mage.

In the second game just now, Fang Tian guided Sharjah on the road from High Law to Dafa.

And now......

In the unconsciously slightly holding their breath from the two archmages, Fang Tian only smiled slightly, stretched out his hand and gently brushed the chessboard, "The chessboard is just a chessboard after all, and beyond the chessboard, there is the great world." After all, cultivation is just practice, and outside of practice, it is a great life. Cultivation is like a flower, and when a flower blooms, it will be thankful, and then it will bear fruit. ”

Flowers bloom when thanks, and then there are fruits!

Both Sailor and Galodos were like being hit by a giant hammer, and in an instant, they were shocked, trance, and confused, and the interweaving of multiple emotions made these two people really stunned this time, and even the elements around them unconsciously became violently chaotic, just like a calm sea, a steep wind, and after the storm, the waves were turbulent.

Fang Tian smiled slightly, stood up, and ignored the two people who were caught in the deep chaos, and also ignored Sharjah, who could not hide his shock because of this scene, flicked his sleeves slightly, and then the person disappeared, and when he reappeared, he was already on the third island, in his small building.

The next moment, an inexplicable fluctuation suddenly rose from Qixing Island, overwhelming the sky, heading in all directions, and in an instant, it covered the entire Yanhuang City.

And at this time, another hidden fluctuation arose from the distant capital of the Mauri Empire, extending the fluctuation of Yanhuang City to the entire Mauri Empire. Coincidentally, there are three even afterwards, almost immediately after, the Daye Empire, which borders the west of the Mauriball Empire, and the Chaoyang Empire, which borders the Mauriball Empire to the south, are also fluctuating.

The change doesn't stop there.

It's like a pebble thrown into a lake, and then the ripples are artificially enlarged, expanded, expanded......

To the east, to the west, to the south, to the north, to the east, to the west, to the south, to the north, under the heavenly dome that ordinary people, ordinary cultivators, and even archmages could not see, a little bit of light lit up, and fluctuations rose everywhere, and after only a few tens of breaths, the fluctuations that originally originated from the Seven Star Island were spread over the entire continent by dozens of nearly a hundred "nodes......

At this time, at this time, everything is silent, and the world is silent.

Even the sun, which was originally shining brilliantly, seemed to have lost its brilliance at this moment, and it seemed a little gloomy.

Between heaven and earth, at this moment, there is only one fluctuation.

And the whole continent, under this fluctuation, was brought into a mysterious and unspeakable rhythm. (To be continued.) )
