There is no news of Zhou Tianzhi, Zhao Yitian and Wang Yuezhao, and the days of the masters in Zhongnan Mountain are very peaceful, and everyone is still practicing martial arts, playing chess, and drinking tea to relieve the annoyance and anxiety of waiting.

Since the last time Zhu Yu, Lingyazi and Lan Ling'er met Yuan Ying and the others, it was inconvenient for everyone to travel from afar, at most they would circle or twice in the mountains around the Taoist temple.

Seven days passed quickly, Zhu Yu had recovered as before, this afternoon, the sun was very good, Zhu Yu went out alone to hang out in the courtyard.

In the backyard, Zhu Yu saw that there were three or four male disciples of Tianling Dao watering vegetables in the vegetable garden, which was dozens of zhang square, and there were more than ten kinds of seasonal vegetables planted in the vegetable field, including radish, cucumber, cabbage, and a few beans of various kinds that could not be named.

Tianlong Mountain and Shaolin Temple are northern, when it is almost winter, vegetables can not withstand the cold, can not grow, only in the spring of the next year, the ice and snow melt can grow vegetables, Zhongnan Mountain is southern, the temperature is higher, some vegetables can survive the winter, some can be harvested at the end of autumn.

Zhu Yu walked into the ground and watered it with the Heavenly Spirit Dao disciples.

The water here flows from the gap in the cliff on one side, and the water flows around the vegetable field from the east to the bottom of the mountain as high as the mountain is called.

Although this water is not as big as the one that flows into Shaolin, it is not used up for watering vegetables and cooking and daily life.

"The soil here is fertile, it is all the humus that the disciples have moved to the mountain for many years, and we are surrounded by mountains on three sides, and the sun can shine from morning to night, so the soil temperature is high, and the climate is suitable, and many vegetables can grow until winter." A Heavenly Spirit Dao disciple said.

"Don't underestimate this piece of land, the vegetables grown, we have more than 30 disciples here can't eat them all, and the more ones are either stored or picked up and sold in the city under the mountain." Another disciple said.

Looking at the green vegetables, colorful cauliflowers, and the warm wind, Zhu Yu felt indescribably comfortable, at this time, he could finally feel the extraordinary feeling of working with their heads bowed in the vegetable garden in the backyard of the Lion Rock Zhengxu Temple, in the fields under the Shaolin Temple, and on the mountainside of Tianlong Mountain.

Once, Zhu Yu asked Master Kongkong, what is Zen? Master Kongkong said: Zen is the eyes that are full of the world, and there is nothing in the heart.

Zhu Yu couldn't understand this at all, and he asked again, Master Kongkong, how to practice meditation?

"Meditation is about chopping wood, planting land, lighting fires, and cooking rice." Zhu Yu was even more incomprehensible to Master Kongkong's answer, at this time, he somewhat understood that the practice of meditation that Master Kongkong said was to have no distractions, concentrate on doing things, and not be disturbed by external objects in his heart.

"Brother Zhu Yu, I'm looking for you everywhere! Xie Yan said that she took us to a fun place in the evening. I don't know when, Lan Ling'er has come to the backyard vegetable patch.

Seeing Lan Ling'er, Zhu Yu put down the watering scoop, waved his hand to the Tianling Dao disciples who were working in the vegetable field, and came to Lan Ling'er's side.

"Ling'er, what's so funny, look at what makes you happy."

"It's nothing special, it's just that I haven't seen you these days, and I'm a little unaccustomed to it." Lan Ling'er said lightly.

"Aren't I here every day? You can come and see me at any time. Zhu Yu said with a smile.

"I'm worried that it will affect your recovery, so I don't want to disturb you."

I don't know when, Lan Tian also came to the backyard, heard the conversation between the two, and said: "Ling'er, you know how to play all day long, why don't you learn to play chess and write, there is a skill, I see that Qingcheng sent a few of them, playing chess and writing, and they are proficient in everything." ”

"Playing chess, I learned it in Shaolin Temple, but Tianlong Mountain is not in vogue from time to time, and it is deserted, not to mention, piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, it is also a game." Lan Linger argued.

"I just lost a game to Linglinzi, since you can play, it's better to play a game for me."

"Okay, let's go! Brother Zhu Yu, let's go together, didn't you also learn chess in Shaolin? Empty Edge, Empty Response, Empty Ling and Empty Regret, and many master brothers are not your opponents. "Playing chess, Lan Ling'er suddenly became interested.

On the side of the Tianling Dao Hall, there is an exquisite house, with a chess table, a calligraphy and painting table, Ling Shanzi and Master Kongkong are playing chess, Ling Linzi is watching the battle from the side, and next to it, there are several young Tianling Dao disciples who are also playing chess and writing.

Zhu Yu once heard Master Kongxin say that those who practice martial arts must be transparent, not only to improve their martial arts attainments, but also to know books and etiquette, play chess and write, not to understand the truth of life, but also to exercise their thinking ability, and to understand the truth of martial arts more profoundly.

Because of this, Shaolin Temple has a special course to teach disciples to play chess, read and write, and most of the monks who practice martial arts in Shaolin Temple are not only good at chess, but also able to chant poems against each other, and now it seems that Tianlingdao has done a good job in this regard.

The three of them watched Master Kongkong and Lingshanzi play chess on the side, Master Kongkong was obviously a cut above Lingshanzi, not only occupying four corners, but also having two sides.

"Master Kongkong is really good at chess, I really admire Lingshanzi."

As soon as I heard Lingshanzi say this, it was a prelude to admitting defeat, and sure enough, the two of them made a few more moves, and Lingshanzi admitted defeat.

"Master Kongkong, I see that you don't meet any opponents to practice on weekdays, how can your chess strength be so high, you can teach us a few tricks." Lan Ling'er said.

"Playing chess is like life, you must have a view of the overall situation, you can't care about the competition for one eye and two purposes, you have to look at the whole chess game, you should give up what you should abandon, understand this, you can become a master." Master Empty laughed.

"That's right! Indeed, this is the principle, many times, we are too concerned about gains and losses, and finally throw away all the more. Lingshanzi said with understanding.

"Lan Tian, didn't you go and ask someone to take revenge? Who's going to play with me? Linglinzi pulled Lan Tian and asked.

"Come on, come on, Ling'er, you and Linglinzi have a game." Blue Sky pointed to another chessboard and said.

"Hey, why didn't my junior sister Lingyazi come, her level is much higher than mine." Ling Linzi sat down at the chess table and said while fiddling with the chess pieces.

"I'm here, I'll have a game with Brother Zhu Yu, how about it?" I don't know when, Lingyazi was already standing behind several people.

Master Kongkong and Lingshanzi let everyone continue to play chess, and then made an appointment to go next door to find Zhang Lingtian to taste tea and discuss, the tea of Yunwu Peak in Zhongnan Mountain is a must in the world, several masters never drink, but drinking tea is like-minded.

Two more tables of chess were set up in the chess and card calligraphy and painting room, Lan Ling'er went first, and Linglinzi started a fight.

Zhu Yu and Lingyazi guessed that Zhu Yu went first, and the two of them each grabbed the big game, and the chess was flat and stable, half a catty and eight taels.

The surrounding Heavenly Spirit Dao disciples, seeing Zhu Yu, Lan Ling'er and Lingyazi playing chess for the first time, all came to watch.

In the final result, Lan Ling'er ate a hundred-eyed dragon in Linglinzi and won the middle game; Zhu Yu was no match for the fine-hearted Lingyazi, and he lost more than ten eyes.

Lan Ling'er was angry for Lan Tian, Lan Tian was naturally happy, and asked Linglinzi: "How is the chess style of Shaolin Temple?" ”

Ling Linzi said embarrassedly: "Miss Lan Ling'er is sharp and thoughtful, and she kills from beginning to end, I really admire it." ”

"If it is compared between factions and factions, your Qingcheng faction is much more powerful than our Tianlong faction, and the spirit tooth can be invincible." Zhu Yu sighed.

"I just won by luck, and the Zhu Yu brothers' chess skills are not ordinary." Lingyazi said embarrassedly.

"In the future, we can have a confrontation match between factions, and whoever loses will hand over the faction's martial arts to the winner." Ling Linzi said half-jokingly.

"In a word, I will study the chess game well in the future and learn the martial arts of your Qingcheng faction one by one."

Lan Tian's words caused everyone to laugh.

"Lan Tian, Zhu Yu, Lan Ling'er, Master Zhang told everyone to finish eating." Rollin, who had barely seen each other all day, ran over at some point.
