In the seventh year, in October, on the last day of the frost moon, at noon.

In Yunmengxian Mountain, above Yunhai Peak, under the cliffs on all sides, and in front of the 100-meter waterfall.

Yun Xingchen and Li Taibai stood on the bluestone platform, Yun Xingchen held a white pebble in his hand, Li Taibai held a yellow pebble in one hand, and twisted a handful of raw tea leaves of Yunwu tea in the other.

Li Taibai knew the chess skills of this Yun Xingchen, so Li Taibai had already prepared, he twisted a few pieces of raw tea leaves of cloud tea in his hand, put them in his mouth and chewed them carefully, his expression was calm, but his eyes were shining.

In front of the two of them, above the 100-meter waterfall, there are 19 horizontal water columns and 19 vertical water columns, forming a vertical and horizontal 19 heavenly chess game.

At this time, Yun Xingchen twisted a white pebble, and with a flick of his fingers, he placed the chess pieces squarely in the center of the nineteen vertical and nineteen horizontal Tianyi chessboard above the hundred-meter waterfall.

At this moment, Li Taibai twisted a yellow pebble, and with a flick of his fingers, he put the pebble chess piece on the star position in the upper right corner of the chessboard......

The pebble chess pieces played by the two of them were not submerged in the water column, but when the pebbles touched the water column, a splash of water was aroused, and the water splash was engraved in the minds of the two of them, forming a memory picture of the chess pieces of the entire chess game......

At this time, Yun Xingchen did not play the second character, but used the fairy spirit true qi to manipulate the water flow around the water column chessboard to form seventy-two Chinese character titles, eighteen each in the east, south, west, and north.

18th Road in the south: six solar terms in spring: the beginning of spring, rain, stunning, equinox, Qingming, Guyu, plus 12 hours: Zi, Chou, Yin, Mao, Chen, Si, Wu, Wei, Shen, You, Xu, Hai.

Eighteen Roads in the North: Six solar terms in autumn, the beginning of autumn, the summer heat, the white dew, the autumn equinox, the cold dew, the frost and the twelve divine beasts: three-legged crow, Teng snake, phoenix, Ying Long, white ape, Bi Fang, Kunpeng, Ying Jiao, Birch, Qiangliang, Hanqi, Chaos.

West Eighteen Road: Six solar terms in summer, Lixia, Xiaoman, Mangzhong, Summer Solstice, Xiaoxia, Da Heat plus 12 zodiac signs: Rat, Ox, Tiger, Rabbit, Dragon, Snake, Horse, Sheep, Monkey, Rooster, Dog, Pig.

Zhengdong Eighteen Road: Six solar terms in winter, the beginning of winter, light snow, heavy snow, winter solstice, small cold, big cold, plus twelve meridians: hand Taiyin lung meridian, hand Shaoyin heart meridian, hand syncope yin pericardial meridian, hand Yang Ming large intestine meridian, hand sun small intestine meridian, hand Shaoyang Sanjiao meridian, foot three yang meridian: Zu Yang Ming stomach meridian, foot sun bladder meridian, foot Shaoyang gallbladder meridian, foot Shaoyang gallbladder meridian, foot Taiyin spleen meridian, foot Shao Yin kidney meridian, foot syncope yin liver meridian.

The eastern, southern, western and northern solar terms are divided into winter, spring, summer and autumn to form a clockwise structure......

After about a pillar of incense time had passed, Yun Xingchen said to Li Taibai after doing all this: "Li Taibai, you have to remember the text marks on this chess game, which integrates the twenty-eight constellations, when you completely comprehend these, when you look up at the starry sky, you will find that the galaxy universe is like a huge chessboard." ”

As soon as Yun Xingchen's words fell, Li Taibai, who had just twisted a few pieces of raw tea leaves of Yunwu Tea and put them in his mouth to chew carefully, his original quiet expression gradually disappeared and became grim.

Li Taibai, who was in the whirlpool of memory, completely forgot that Caiyi had come to the hundred-meter waterfall at this time, and was standing side by side with Yun Xingchen, looking at this time, still engrossed in memorizing the seventy-two text messages.

After a while, after Li Taibai wrote it all down, I don't know when, between the chess pieces of Li Taibai holding the yellow pebbles, the desire for victory in his heart has been quietly ignited......

At this moment, Li Taibai is more and more focused on the 100-meter waterfall, with nineteen horizontal water columns and nineteen vertical water columns, forming a vertical and horizontal nineteen heavenly chess game.

He enclosed himself in the water world of this hundred-meter waterfall.

At noon, when the sun is in the sky, there is a saying:

The sunshine cliff produces green smoke, and you can see the waterfall between the stars in the distance.

The flying stream went straight down to a hundred thousand feet, and the cosmic galaxy fell into it.

After another while, Li Taibai and Yun Xingchen had already played several pebble chess pieces each.

Li Taibai said: "I have fully integrated the meaning of the seventy-two words, and there are twenty-eight constellations inhabiting the nineteen heavenly chess games, which are indeed vast and boundless, and I instantly feel that I am unusually small, and all kinds of arrogance in the past are all jokes now. ”

Yun Xingchen smiled indifferently, dropped a white pebble chess piece, and then said: "Li Taibai, you have to find your own chess path from the vast and boundless twenty-eight star universe. ”

After listening to this, Li Taibai stood in the air with the yellow pebble chess pieces in his hand, did not fall, and turned his head to Yun Xingchen and asked, "My chess path?" …… What is that? ”

When Li Taibai turned his head to look at Yun Xingchen, he realized that Caiyi, an apprentice with an unjustified name, didn't know when he came to Yun Xingchen's side, and he didn't even notice it...... At that moment, he began to question the realm of his Immortal Spirit Xuangong, so he didn't say a word for a moment......

Just focused on the chess game in front of him, and after noon, Li Taibai and Yun Xingchen's first game of Tianyi chess had been played.

At this time, Caiyi, who has been seeing from the beginning to the end, remembered all the pebble chess pieces played by the two in his mind, so he volunteered to be the referee of the final winner and loser for the two.

At this moment, Caiyi walked up to the two of them and said in a decent manner:

When the summer is established: yellow stickers, white long, yellow blocks, white jumps and is connected...... Yellow defeat.

Qingming mouse: white pinch attack, yellow lead...... White defeat.

Liqiu Yin Heart Sutra: Huang Zhengzi is not good...... Yellow defeat.

……

Bai Luchen: Yellow defeated.

Great Cold Chaos: Yellow defeat.

Frost Fall Pig: Yellow defeat.

……

Playing against Yun Xingchen, Li Taibai lost the first game very disgracedly.

Taking the universe of heaven and earth as the chessboard, insisting on entering the game by himself, he must not be greedy to win, this time, Yun Xingchen won Li Taibai with a great advantage, but he did not show any ecstasy of winning chess at all.

After a game, it was already a bad time, Li Taibai was not convinced and asked for another game, and Yun Xingchen readily agreed.

Yun Xingchen said: "Li Taibai, if you insist on coming again, you may not be able to win. ”

Li Taibai's hand holding the yellow pebble chess pieces hesitated for a moment, and said: "Then let's remove the Tianyi chessboard with nineteen horizontal water columns and nineteen vertical water columns, and we will use the immortal spirit true qi to play in the void...... lest I, an apprentice, be the referee and see her master lose. ”

Yun Xingchen said: "Then it's up to you, remove the chessboard and play in the void." ”

So, before the time came, Li Taibai and Yun Xingchen were on top of the big bluestone, half-tilting their heads, in mid-air, playing chess pieces with the true qi of the immortals.

Li Taibai never thought that Yun Xingchen's chess strength was unexpectedly clever, and he lost several hands in succession.

It's just that what Li Taibai doesn't know is that since Yun Xingchen founded the nineteen vertical and nineteen horizontal Tianyi chess game, with the twenty-four solar terms as the boundary of the four sides of the chess game, and assisted the basic knowledge of the twelve meridians in the Nine Immortal Mountain's immortal spirit cultivation of the True Xuangong, as well as the twelve hours and the twelve zodiac signs, plus the huge network structure of information transmission of the twelve ancient divine beasts on the land of Shenzhou.

Yun Xingchen's attainments in Go can be said to be a thousand miles of progress in one day, so far in the world, I am afraid that no one can seek a victory from him, which naturally includes the genius of the Later Tang Dynasty and his master Sunset, the first chess player of the Blue Planet.

Before the two of them were playing, Yun Xingchen didn't glance at the chess game in mid-air from beginning to end.

From beginning to end, Yun Xingchen closed his eyes and meditated, and with Yun Xingchen's guidance, he popped up the chess pieces of the fairy spirit's true qi. After an instant, after the hundred-meter waterfall, the original demarcated 28 constellations of the water column chess game also splashed with splashes.

At this time, a butterfly flew to Yun Xingchen, who had his eyes closed, and slapped Yun Xingchen's fingertips twice, and then flew away the next moment.

In this world of nineteen paths, it can be as small as the void chessboard that only looks up in front of you, as big as the entire Yunhai Peak, and if it is so big, it can be as big as the entire universe galaxy......

Li Taibai looked up and saw only the small void chess game, but Yun Xingchen closed his eyes and felt the entire Yunhai Peak, including the hundred-meter-high waterfall in front of him.

No matter when and where you are, the clouds and stars and everything in this world are echoing each other, and you can see everything in the world with the world in your heart......

After Li Taibai turned the fingertips into chess pieces made of fairy spirit true qi, he held them in mid-air, and only after a long time did he drop the chess pieces made of fairy spirit true qi.

After Li Taibai dropped the fairy spirit true qi chess piece, Yun Xingchen still closed his eyes, and a fairy spirit true qi chess piece flew out of his fingers, and in an instant, Li Taibai saw that on the void chessboard in his memory, the two broken chess pieces were connected into a double life.

At this time, another butterfly flew to Yun Xingchen, who had already opened his eyes, and after a few more fanning on Yun Xingchen's fingertips, it flew away, as if it was cheering for Yun Xingchen's victory.

Caiyi was on the side, and the audience didn't know what was going on, but Li Taibai was in the game, but he knew that the winner had been divided.

Yun Xingchen only took half an hour, and Li Taibai was completely defeated.

Above the air, the void chessboard dissipated instantly, and the immortal true qi between the two after dissipation was mixed together, like bursts of gunpowder smoke on the battlefield scarred after fighting.

Only then did Li Taibai understand that with his current chess strength and the current strength of Yun Xingchen, he could not shake it in the slightest and could not win.

Li Taibai sighed, and said to Caiyi, who was still stunned on the side: "In the future, Yun Xingchen will belong to you, and I will accept your apprentice, if Yun Xingchen dares to win me again in the future, you will go back for me in the future and let him kneel on the washboard!" ”

After speaking, Li Taibai bent down from the big bluestone, picked up one of the white pebble chess pieces, and put it in the palm of his hand.

Immediately, Li Taibai left the big bluestone, walked a few steps without looking back, waved his hand, said goodbye: "In the future, when I am superb in chess, are you willing to come to Genting Immortal Mountain Qingcang Peak to fight against the cliff?" ”

At this moment, Yun Xingchen also followed Li Taibai's example, bent down on the big bluestone, picked up one of the yellow pebble chess pieces, and put it in the palm of his hand.

Yun Xingchen said to Li Taibai, who didn't look back: "This yellow pebble chess piece, make an agreement, he will go one day." ”

In the seventh year, in October, on the last day of the Frost Moon, a quarter of an hour was in the hour.

Li Taibai drove his nine-colored stone knife back to the cliff facing the Qingcang Peak of Yunding Immortal Mountain, at the end of the day, at dusk and sunset, in the afterglow of the sunset, playing with the white pebble chess pieces in his hand, smooth and warm, warm to the touch, shrouded in the afterglow of the sunset, the white seems to reveal a touch of yellow.

A moment later, Li Taibai looked up at the sky, in the sunset of the sky, included in the twenty-eight constellation Tianyi chess game founded by Yun Xingchen, so outside the twenty-eight nakshatra Tianyi chess game, will there be a broader starry sky? If you only comprehend the Twenty-Eight Constellations Heavenly Game of Chess, the most ideal realm is only the result of a draw with Yun Xingchen......

After the time, after looking up at the starry sky for a long time, he still couldn't think of an answer, so Li Taibai settled down on the cliff facing the cliff, and patiently carved out one hundred and eighty white pebbles with a white pebble in his hand that was only the size of his palm.

In order to do this thing, Li Taibai sank down, that is, it took three days and three nights to temporarily quit the matter of traveling in the mountains and rivers, all in one go, and did not waste a trace of white pebble stones.

In the course of three days and three nights, in the subtle process of patiently carving 180 white seeds, Li Taibai's chess skills changed from coarse to fine, and the pattern and realm in his heart were opened up at once......

In the seventh year, in October, on the last day of the frost moon, at the hour of Shen.

In the early days, after watching the two games of 28 Xingshu Tianyi played by Yun Xingchen and Li Taibai in front of the 100-meter waterfall, he felt that Yun Xingchen's chess strength was high, so Caiyi returned to the small hut to study Go.

On the last day of the frost moon, at the end of the hour, in the small thatched hut, I saw that the ground of the small thatched hut with color wings was placed with all kinds of endgame chess games borrowed from the Star Picking Pavilion.

At about nine o'clock in the evening, Yun Xingchen was busy with the evening practice of the Seven Illusions Treasure Palace, and then came to the small basin, Caiyi's small thatched hut home, to visit Caiyi.

Just as Yun Xingchen came to Caiyi's small hut and pushed the door in, he saw that Caiyi was in a deep endgame, and after thinking about it, Caiyi still hadn't found a way to win. The most terrifying thing is that she seems to have exhausted her life's chess skills. All all the futile efforts and reflections indicate one result - the endgame is unsolved, and the defeat is certain.

At this time, Yun Xingchen came to Caiyi's side softly and slowly, twisted a chess piece, and Caiyi looked up at Yun Xingchen in confusion.

At this moment, Yun Xingchen took a serious look at the endgame chessboard, closed his eyes, and after thinking for a while, he twisted the fingertips of the chess pieces, but only lightly dropped a piece on the chessboard, and stopped talking.

When the falling son of Yun Xingchen is placed in the endgame, the endgame will be solved in an instant.

But seeing Yun Xingchen's weightless appearance, Caiyi seemed to have something to say, but he didn't know how to say it for a while.

At this moment, Cai Yi was waiting for Yun Xingchen to speak first, but Yun Xingchen sat down in front of the table where Cai Yi was playing Go, and looked at the endgame on the table that had been solved in a moment.

Yun Xingchen said: "Your inner world is a huge chessboard, if you can't solve the endgame in the future, go out for a walk, if you encounter the endgame in the future, you don't need to be obsessed with the victory of this game, and you don't need to be trapped in this endless chess game." ”

Caiyi replied, "Hmm. There was silence again.

Yun Xingchen asked, "But do you really understand this chessboard of the Nineteen Paths?" ”

Caiyi shook his head and asked Yun Xingchen rhetorically, "Can you answer me, what is 'home'?" ”。

At this time, it was Yun Xingchen's turn for a while, and he was speechless......

After a long time, until Yun Xingchen left, Caiyi never got an answer, but outside the window, there were black clouds pressing down on the mountain, and the wind and rain were coming.

Caiyi walked out of the small hut that he had been trapped in for a long time, and looked at the place where there was a faint thunder.

Looking at the clouds and stars, flying towards the thunderous sky, Caiyi had the answer in his heart.

As Yun Xingchen told her just now, the endgame can't be solved, so let's go out for a walk. If you encounter an endgame that cannot be solved in the future, there is no need to cling to the victory of this game, let alone be trapped in this endless chess game.

At this moment, I have walked out of the colorful wings of the black and white world, and saw the sky, the universe horizon that is broader than chess, as if I understood a certain meaning of "home" in ignorance. Perhaps, this is the answer that Yun Xingchen flew to the dark sky and wanted to tell her.

Seven Words Summary:

Twenty-eight celestial phenomena, nineteen heavenly chessboards,

The twelve hours of the Spring Festival, the twelve zodiac signs of the summer solar terms,

The twelve divine beasts of the autumn solar terms, the twelve meridians of the winter solar terms,

Caiyi asked Xingchen what his family was, why he was not unified as his home.
