Chapter 9: A Chess Game to the Test

"You insist, you have to take these four dishes every day, insist on 9981 days, and when the three flowers gather at the top, the five qi are Chaoyuan, and it is done. You are the only person selected by the master, he will not be mistaken, I won't bother you with your cultivation, come on!" The third senior brother made a gesture of encouragement and closed the door with anticipation.

I knew that it was such a cultivation, and I shouldn't have talked too much about the "taste of the soup". But how can a single person in a million be starved to death? Although these plates of air are not to be seen or eaten, I was surprised to find that those plates are quite delicious.

In this way, after countless miserable tosses, I finally reached the realm of Bigu Eating Qi and Birth, and the Master admired my even breathing and exquisite figure, showed a satisfied smile, and then handed me a comb, a razor, and a grate, and said, "Next, I have to learn a more important and practical skill." ”

The process started with a peeled coconut, and Master asked me to comb out the loose and tangled coconut hairs according to the drawings he gave me...... At first, I thought it was impossible, but soon I found out the trick, which was to turn myself into an abnormal person.

I started to bathe the coconut, the fresh skin was spotless, and the hair was smoother, I talked to the coconut to make it feel comfortable, and the skin color became extremely fresh, I helped the coconut massage, dredge the meridians, reconcile the qi and blood, and the hair gradually thickened...... This treatment of baldness also works, I only tell those who need it.

I felt that I could move on to the next stage of cultivation, but Master led me to the cellar, pointed to thousands of coconuts and said, "Repeat the same thing 10,000 times before you become a master." ”

Then, every day, the master would inspect the army of coconuts that I had trained into thousands of forms, pick out the ones with the highest artistic value and put them in his study, and the rest would be served to the table.

After practicing 10,000 coconuts, I have become a master of communication and a hair expert. The master nodded approvingly, dragged a few more baskets of lychees, and arranged a new training subject: "Remove the shell, only use a knife, not a drop of juice." ”

It was a more severe test, and my plant communication skills were powerless, and the lychees obviously didn't want to be undressed by my clumsy fellow, and they didn't cooperate, spraying "saliva" all over my face. Fortunately, the third senior brother once again stepped forward and taught the ancestral thirty-six styles of Yiyin sword technique, so that my troubles were solved. Through the external cultivation of the "five forces" of the wrists, arms, shoulders and waist and the internal cultivation of the "five products" of the heart, spirit, mind and soul, I have reached the realm of "three-in-one" of the human knife and lychee, which can not only easily peel off a complete lychee pulp with a razor, but also carve eight hundred Arhat statues on it.

Although everyone was so shocked by the incomparable beauty that they couldn't bear to cry at first, in the end, the 9,000 lychees still got into their stomachs or exchanged for silver without accident.

The Master smacked his lips and slipped out a big creature from behind him, saying, "This is your next goalβ€”to peel it and cut it into pieces that weigh no more than half a tael before you can smell it." ”

I stared at the durian, the bridge of my nose reflexively wrinkled, how fast does this have to be? I have to consider the speed of the propagation of durian gas molecules in the air, the sensitivity of my nose hair and the reaction speed of neurons, and also grasp the weight of each piece, I don't have the superb actuarial level of the fourth senior brother, nor the swiftness of the senior brother, every time I haven't even used the knife, I am already dizzy and dizzy.

I had to free up one hand, pinch my nose, and use the other hand to cut and peel the durian. After countless exercises, I finally met Master's requirements, and I practiced one hand as dexterously as my hands, braiding my hair, chopping firewood, washing clothes, wearing pants, and almost everything that needed to be done with both hands. But it seems like a waste to spare a hand for no reason, and I don't understand the meaning of Master's training.

The master looked thoughtful: "In this way, even if you have someone chopped off a hand in the future, there will be no inconvenience." ”

After durian, under Master's arrangement, I carried out ingenious repairs to peaches, bananas, strawberries, etc. In this way, all the fruit platters eaten throughout the year in Qingxuguan are processed by me.

"Congratulations on finally practicing the legendary martial arts mastery 'shaving your head three times', this miraculous skill focuses on the precision, strength and speed of your hands," the master spoke highly of it, "Many martial arts on the rivers and lakes are only ornamental but not practical, or have actual combat but do not have life." Only this 'shaving the head three times' is not only ornamental, but also practical, and can also serve life. ”

I was excited about this for a while, and then I found out that everyone in Qingxuguan would come to me whenever their hair needed to be repaired, including trimming their nose hair, armpit hair, and leg hair.

Some of these fellows have very thin hair, like a desert under the scorching sun, and some are very luxuriant, like primeval forests in the twilight. After I was fortunate enough to see the ** model of each stage of the evolution from apes to humans, my mind suddenly opened: Could it be that the master taught me the art of forbearance and suppression just to save food expenses?

Master seemed to see through my thoughts: "Isn't the sheep shaving their heads for the earth when they eat grass every day? When you shave your head and make a fruit bowl, it looks like someone else is taking advantage, but in fact the biggest beneficiary is yourself. ”

I was skeptical: "What do I gain? Shall I sell their shaved hair for money?"

Master patted me on the shoulder and said, "The method of luck and forbearance and suppression shaving your head three times may not seem to be of much use now, but it will definitely bring you infinite benefits in the future, and even save your life." ”

"In the future", this is a very mysterious word, and any words that do not know whether it is true or false will become mysterious and predictable. Whatever, I've learned everything anyway, and now I can finally get to the point and specialize in chess. With such a rich and solid basic skills, coupled with the careful teaching of my master, my chess skills have improved day by day. Those skills are indeed not practiced in vain, I shoot quickly and fall accurately, and the momentum makes the opponent afraid of three points, and what is more powerful is that I can sit in front of the chessboard for a few days and nights without eating or drinking, and the opponent faints to the ground I am still in good spirits, and the victory or defeat is self-evident. Soon, my chess friends from near and far became my defeated players, and the chessboard became a weapon for me to win my confidence and respect, just like the sword in the hands of my senior brother, I began to yearn for a bigger stage and success.

At this time, the news that the imperial court held the second "Chaos Cup" junior chess tournament came up the mountain, this is a very influential event, the last champion is an unborn chess genius, he likes red, so every time he chooses the red side, but he is very arrogant, always let the other party take the lead in black, but also let the other party have a cannon, did not taste defeat, people send the nickname "one shot and red".

Later, he entered the palace and became a chess edict. When he accompanied the emperor to play chess for the first time, the self-confident emperor proposed a fair duel, and no one should let him, but "one hit and became popular" was a principled person, insisting that the emperor should go first, and at the same time took out one of his own cannons. Then in less than ten steps, "one shot became popular" and an afterthought ate the emperor's general, and reminded him by the way, "Your Majesty, you will die."

The disgraced emperor was furious: "You are going to die! Your whole family is going to die!" and then beheaded him all over the house.

I only knew the story before "later", so I didn't want to miss this opportunity to become an instant hit, so I immediately ran to ask Master for battle. Of course, the motivation for participating in the competition cannot be said to be too utilitarian: to win glory for the teacher and promote cultural prosperity and pray for the blessings of the common people in the world...... I was so moved to tears that I cried.

The master did not say anything, and did not hurry to open the chess game: "I'll talk about winning." ”>
