The bonfire dispersed and the people were quiet.

The moonlight, which was not bright and not bright, was hazy and spread on the earth, and Fang Tian stepped on this haze, quietly walking in the martial arts training ground of the Fenglin compound.

After stepping into the mage, a hundred miles are tossed and turned, and thousands of miles are courtyards.

The number of times I walked in this small courtyard was getting less and less. Thousands of miles of mountains and rivers are embraced, and this small courtyard is becoming more and more inconspicuous.

Will one day we finally stop setting foot in it?

When he strolled to the vicinity of the long chair, Fang Tian stopped, tilted his head slightly, and stared towards the sky.

At this level, he has become more and more close to the "magical" realm in the eyes of the world, just like tonight, he just made a second-level little magic apprentice advance to the third-level with just a slight movement of his palm.

For Wayne, the apprentice's teacher and a Level 8 magician, this was a great incredible.

Until the time of farewell, his mind was still in a trance.

This is true for Wayne, and what about Andy, Eric, Moritsch, Ryan, and others, but they have seen a lot of his "magic", and they have the recent promotion as a foreshadowing, so, although it is also incredible, they are also surprised and calmly accept it.

To the other party, this is no longer worth mentioning.

It's just like seeing a good seedling and brushing it off.

And this one light saved the boy named Neil at least two or three years of time.

Two or three years is not much time, but in the future, it will be decided whether a person will stop at the ninth level, or log in to the mage, and then move to a higher level. - Absolutely. It's just a possibility.

But this possibility, there is a certain probability, and the probability is not small.

In my previous life, there was a saying in the Go world, "If you don't become a national player at the age of twenty, you will have no hope for life." ”

In his previous life, or it could be extended to not long ago, Fang Tian was not very convinced by this sentence, and always felt that this sentence was too mysterious and might not be reliable. But now. Since the establishment of the cross practice system, when I look at this again, it is clear at a glance.

The system of cross practice is discovered from practice and established in practice. It is then applied to the practice.

But it's not just about spiritual practice.

Because its foothold is "people".

Yes, as long as it is a "human" thing. You can use it to break it down. to sort out, to dissect.

Since Go is played by people, of course, it can also be cut from here.

No matter what kind of industry or industry a person is engaged in, aside from the problems encountered in the outer world, in his own aspect, there are only a few things involved. Body, mental force, consciousness, heart.

When a person is older. First of all, the body declined, so it followed suit, and the condensation of mental power was insufficient.

At the same time, as we get older and are exposed to more things, the content of consciousness becomes more and more mixed.

For the practitioner, it is possible to go from the chaos to the sea, and then re-extract it to attain special attainments. For an ordinary person, the confusion of consciousness is a great disaster for a career that needs to be focused.

There is a more important problem, that is, after adulthood, it is difficult for a Go player to be a "pure" Go player, and the problems of lust, feelings, marriage, family, life responsibilities and even life paths all come one after another, slowly invading his heart and consciousness.

The heart is no longer pure.

Consciousness is no longer focused.

Mental power is no longer condensed.

The body also started to go downhill step by step from being vigorous.

In all four areas, there is no retreat.

Therefore, a Go player, in the way of Go that does not talk about chances but only fights physically and mentally, is facing the situation of "four declines", how can he make progress?

To be able to hold on without retreating is already a great genius.

Even if there is a slight improvement in skills, under the urging of the fundamental "four declines", it is just a drop in the bucket and useless.

Therefore, "if you don't become a national player at the age of twenty, you will have no hope for life." This sentence is not a myth, and there is no mystery in it.

On the contrary, the person who can break this sentence is the myth and the mystery.

In the previous life, the way of Go was like this, and for cultivators in this world, if they couldn't establish a reliable cultivation system like him and use it to guide their cultivation, it would undoubtedly be the same as "cultivators need to become famous as soon as possible."

The sooner the better.

It's not too early to become a mage at the age of ten.

On this way, if there is no special opportunity, it is difficult to expect "late bloomers", and generally speaking, those who can achieve "big tools" are "early bloomers".

The system of cross practice is also a key, the key that unlocks the lock of "man".

As his understanding of it deepened, Fang Tian's understanding of the whole world also deepened and deepened, and he went deeper and deeper to the point that tonight, when he walked towards Andy Eric and the others with a wine glass, he suddenly remembered the contact and integration of the way of self and the way of the world.

At that time, he didn't have time to think about it, but at this time, slowly thinking about it in his mind, Fang Tian remembered the two people in his previous life.

In ancient China, both were famous figures, Lao Tzu and Confucius.

From the perspective of past lives and those of the past, their images are ethereal and unrealistic. But at this time, Fang Tian looked at the two of them again, but suddenly understood that these two were both characters who had achieved the way of self, and then, when facing the world, the way was very different.

Lao Tzu achieved in the world, and gave back to the world more than 5,000 words in 81 chapters, and then, it doesn't matter what happens, just adapt to the situation, let it turn the earth upside down and turn the world upside down, I only float in the middle.

Confucius is different.

Confucius deleted the poems (Book of Songs) and Dingyi (Book of Changes), but they were all just described and not made, that is, "pure quotation", "pure arrangement", "pure soy sauce", "the above qiē remarks have nothing to do with me, and I do not bear any legal responsibility".

The Analects, which was circulated in later generations, was only spontaneously compiled by his disciples, and had nothing to do with Confucius himself.

What really represents Confucius's attitude towards the world is the historical biography of the Spring and Autumn Period compiled by him.

After completing this book, Confucius said a sentence, know my sin, and its only thing is "Spring and Autumn"!

The meaning of this sentence is to get to know me. If you want to understand me, you can only pass guò "Spring and Autumn", and if I leave a sin for future generations, it will only be because of this "Spring and Autumn".

Because this book is the intention of the self above the facts.

In this book, Confucius has very clear praise and disapproval, and Confucius also deliberately imagines an "ideal country" that does not exist zài. Yiqiē is all about "let the facts speak for me".

In fact, there is no zài in the ideal country, but Confucius said that there were in ancient times.

-- Since there is no such thing as a human being. Now there is none, but it is what everyone wants, so why not artificially create one? Let the top and bottom and the future generations work towards this goal? Strive until one day, it will be born out of nothing, and it will really be born in this world.

It also makes thousands of people in this world want to be beautiful. Before the true beauty comes, when life is in darkness. There is always a trace of warmth in my heart. A glimmer of longing, a glimmer of hope.

For the sake of this intention, even if it is virtual, even if it is fabricated, even if it is "distorted to the facts", this is the culpability. I took it too.

Confucius thought, said, and did.

Sure enough, the guilt came.

There is only one truth, but the good and evil of people's hearts are different. Since you can distort the facts with goodness. Then why can't I distort the facts with evil? In essence, everyone is doing the same thing!

No one should say who is noble, and of course, no one should say who is despicable.

Take that unlucky ghost Yang Er as an example, many years after the fall of the Sui Dynasty, someone stood up and said that the death of Xue Daoheng, a famous scholar of the Great Sui Dynasty, was because the poem was very well written, which made Yang Er jealous, so he hung him up, and when he hung him up, he also went on the scene in person and said: "Can you still write the poem 'Hanging cobwebs in the dark, and falling into the mud in the sky'?"

"Hanging cobwebs in the dark, falling into the swallow mud" is a poem by Xue Daoheng that was praised by Shilin at that time.

Such an anecdote, as long as you look at the age of the compiler, you will know that it is purely made up, a mess, and only a person with a broken brain will believe it.

But unfortunately, such an anecdote actually spread more and more widely, and finally became a "fact" known to many people. When it comes to Yang Er's various absurdity, meanness and ruthlessness, and lack of tolerance, this matter is often included as evidence.

People who don't know what exactly is in it talk about.

And those who know what is in it and are a little particular about it will all be tight-lipped and will not spread or refute rumors. - That guy can't turn over forever, what's the good of talking to him?

The real facts don't matter.

The "facts" that people want to believe are what matter.

Su Dongpo's poetry is very good, but people are more willing to talk about "Dongpo meat" and "Dongpo elbow"; Su Dongpo's character is very good, but people are more willing to believe that he once exchanged a concubine for a horse. Mr. Feng Menglong, a conscientious historical discoverer of the Ming Dynasty, disclosed this "fact" in his novel.

So there will always be a market for rumors, and they will never stop. -- Where there is a need, there is manufacturing.

These are just one or two insignificant examples of ancient literature and history.

It's not just about literature and history, it's not just about ancient times. ――

I'm the boss, and the previous boss was killed by me, and now, as the younger brother, you should know what to do, right?--The younger brother nodded in understanding.

Not long after, when the former boss was a child, he pushed the neighbor's child into the water, and when he grew up, he occupied forty or fifty beautiful women as wives and was revealed by a "conscientious insider".

As for the fact that the former boss was injured in a weapon fight when he was sixteen years old and was inhumane, the current boss will definitely be very kind to keep silent, and strictly order all the younger brothers that this matter must not be revealed, the previous boss is also the boss, you want to save some face for him, do you say?

Of course the younger brothers have to say yes.

As a result, the image of the former boss was fixed as "absurd".

Most of the things in the world are like this.

There are no facts.

Only those who can speak, who have the right to speak, tell you those "facts".

And for those who are no longer able to speak, who no longer have the right to speak, what does it matter what the "facts" are?

There are two kinds of people in the world, one who talks about others and the other who is talked about by others.

The war of words has never been cared about only by those who talk about others.

Those who are talked about, whether they succeed or fail, are just laughing at that kind of discussion, or spitting on it. -- Their lives are not based on their tongues.

Thinking about the past life and the present life, thinking about the world, from the beginning to the end, Fang Tian's foothold is only one-

What kind of attitude should he have towards the world? (To be continued......
