"Stinky boy has to say that you haven't been to Huangni Lane in the past six months, you have changed so much, and you have actually become the first place in this year's Wuhui Life Wheel Realm!" Lu Yi heard some of his own deeds told by Mu Li, and sighed for him.

"Ha, this is God's compensation for me. Mu Li said with a smile, after all, he hadn't been tortured by that weak illness before, and the medicine he drank every year was not something that ordinary people could bear.

"How can there be any heaven!" Lu Yi sighed, in this era of the crippled way of heaven, the rules are all set by the human emperor. In the final analysis, it was the teacher who helped you change your life against the sky and embark on the road of martial arts.

Lu Yi took a closer look at Chu Chu Qinghe's second daughter, and found that Chu Chu didn't know when she also became a martial artist of the First Heaven, and this Qinghe girl was even more of a Triple Heaven Realm, and she could be called a martial arts wizard.

The mulberry tree and the locust tree, the future fate is in the hands of these two women, and it is also inextricably linked with Mu Li. But since the master has chosen this decisive "son of Tianyuan", then the rest of the chess pieces on the mountains and rivers chessboard should also be linked.

"Mu Li, follow me to play a game of chess. Lu Yi suddenly asked.

"You know I can't get down to you. Mu Li replied, isn't the tea fragrant, how did he think of playing chess, his chess skills were taught by Lao Lu before, and he had never studied it, how could the level be comparable to Lao Lu.

"It's okay, and let me see if you're improving. The world is connected, you know this sentence, now that you have entered the realm of martial arts, your mood has changed, and you can just take a look at your chess skills. "Lu Yidao.

"It's good that the avenue is connected, but I can't beat the avenue yet. Mu Li pouted, but did not refuse, and agreed. Then Lu Yi walked away, walked to the hut in the corner of the courtyard, and took his old game of Go that he often played with others.

"Where does Mr. Lu live?" During this period, Qinghe looked at Lu Yi's back and asked, Mu Li and the others nodded, she sighed slightly in her heart, she was really a simple person.

The black and white chess pieces are old, placed in two small woven wooden baskets, but the chessboard is made of fine iron, although it has been blackened, but the grid lines on it are clearly notched. There are nine of the most conspicuous black spots.

It is the nine-star position, which can be said to be the important place of soldiers on the chessboard. The most is the star position in the middle, also known as "Tian Yuan", but it is not the name of the Triple Heaven Realm of Martial Arts, but the center of the chessboard. Especially in the game of land movement, it has a special significance.

In the master's chessboard, Mu Li is the "Tianyuan" chess piece. This is the overall situation laid out by Haoran Palace in the four realms of Kyushu.

At this moment, Lu Yi looked at the chessboard, but saw that the black dot in the center of the chessboard actually had a trace of clear air flowing, as if blending into the mountains and rivers, his eyes were slightly condensed, and he secretly cursed in his heart, Taoism actually participated in it! Grandma's, the group of bull-nosed old Taoists in the pure Taoist temple are really not good things, and they actually compete with the master......

"I'll let you go first. Lu Yi raised his hand to signal Mu Li, and picked up a cup of tea in his hand.

"Good. Mu Li nodded, did not shirk, stretched out his hand to twist a sunspot, took the lead in placing it on the chessboard, and placed it on the star in the lower left corner, occupying a corner of the chessboard.

However, the next moment to Mu Li's surprise, Lu Yi then twisted a white piece and pressed it directly on the "Tian Yuan" star position, occupying the center of the chessboard, leaving a single chess piece, without support......

Mu Li stared at Lu Yi, speechless for a long time, and then took the opportunity to occupy a star position: "I actually don't play cards according to the routine!"

"Haha, the chessboard is endlessly changing, so how can you get a routine?" Lu Yi asked with a smile.

——

At this moment, located at the foot of the Broken Blade Mountain in the southern Xinjiang land, in a restaurant near Nanyang City, the owner of the Lichuan Mansion that Mu Li saw that day held a white jade cup, a cup of sake in his stomach, he was dashing and dignified, staring at the center of the chessboard under his eyes with a pair of phoenix eyes, muttering in a low voice for a moment, and then got up and left......

——

Far away in the Middle Earth, a thatched cottage located in the mountains, Qi Ge wearing iron armor also saw the chessboard, he continued to watch, looking at the situation of those chess pieces, and was slightly surprised: "The next trend is actually the ...... of Xishu."

At the same time, in the land of Xishu, in a mountain pavilion, a middle-aged man is also sitting on the stone table in the pavilion looking at the chessboard on the stone table, and there is a pot of steaming tea next to him, his eyebrows are cold, he is dressed in plain clothes, and he is quite stylish, and he sighs at the same moment: "Teacher, he was actually arranged to come to me, is this a little junior brother......

——

A game of chess was played very slowly, nearly a pot of tea, Rao is Mu Li was careful and serious enough, but after all, he was defeated and defeated by Lu Yi's men.

He was a little depressed, and only said: "Lao Lu, don't play chess with me next time, it's boring!"

"Haha, you kid still has a long way to go, how can you be so easily discouraged?" Lu Yi smiled.

In this regard, the two daughters all cast a laughing gaze, making you dance so hard lately, this time you have hit a thorn.

"The road is long, I will go up and down and seek. Mu Li remembered the classic he saw when he was in the school palace that day. He then said: "Lao Lu, your knowledge is so extraordinary, why don't you go to the school palace to find a teacher, and stay in Huangni Lane to sell red cloth strips for how much money?"

"I don't like that kind of life, it's a good life. In this regard, Lu Yi just smiled faintly, but it was also expected by Mu Li, otherwise he would not have stayed in this yellow mud alley forever, doing nothing.

"It's a great disparity in this world. Mu Li sighed, just like this Yizhou City, the people in a city are not the same. Even like Lu Yi, he is obviously not an ordinary person, but he has to be an ordinary person.

"Mu Li, let me give you a painting, which is a gift from our acquaintance for many years. ”

At this time, Lu Yi suddenly said this, then got up, and returned to his hut under the gaze of the three of them, and after a while, he walked out of the house and walked towards the wooden table here, holding a scroll in his hand.

"So good?" Mu Li's eyes burned, and he was still extremely interested in Lao Lu's treasure.

Lao Lu put the painting on the table, and then slowly unfolded it, it was an ink landscape painting, the painting is a stretching mountain, there is a big river, and the sunset, the sunset, and a black shadow that looks like a person, riding a small boat, swimming in the landscape.

"Landscape map, you drew it yourself?" Mu Li asked. Lu Yi is proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and it is difficult for him to find a comparable gentleman in the Yizhou School Palace.

"It's not. ”

However, to Mu Li's surprise, Lu Yi shook his head and smiled meaningfully, he continued: "You look at this painting carefully and see what you feel. ”

"Is there anything unusual?" Mu Lihu sighed suspiciously, picked up the whole picture, detailed and large, and did not even miss every pen and ink text, he also saw that in the lower right corner of this landscape map, there was a line of words, a red square seal.

Fang Yin couldn't see what the word was, it was actually an ancient script, but the line of words read:

Tianxingjian, a gentleman strives for self-improvement. The terrain is good, and the gentleman carries things with virtue.

This is actually a famous sentence in the "Five Classics", and he is familiar with the "Five Classics", so he naturally knows that this sentence is about a kind of Confucian thought. Among them, there is a word involved—

Gentleman.

"Lao Lu, are you going to tell me to be a gentleman?" Mu Li asked with a smile, but he was curious in his heart, how did Lao Lu get this landscape map. Looking at its material and standard, you know that it is worth a lot.

"Haha, Mu Li, it's hard to be a gentleman, but I want you to be a gentleman, a martial artist or a scribe who is beneficial to the people of your family and country. Lu Yi's tone was quite solemn.

"Then Lao Lu said, in your heart, what is a gentleman?"

Chu Chu and Qing He naturally noticed the painting, they didn't say much, and quietly listened to the conversation between the two, only thinking it was quite interesting.

"The phrase on this painting is exactly what the gentleman says. Lu Yi smiled and added: "A gentleman is a kind of noble character respected by Confucianism in the world. It can also be said to be a kind of great realm."

"A gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall. ”

"A gentleman is not worried or afraid. ”

"A gentleman is not a weapon!"

Lu Yi's words fell silently, Mu Li couldn't say a word for a long time, even Chu Chu Qinghe felt that Lu Yi's three sentences were too right, they were the ancient sage truth!

"What a gentleman, I have been taught Lao Lu!" Mu Li slapped his thigh, and his voice was better, and Lao Lu saw the gentleman really thoroughly. This is the highest doctrine of Confucianism, right?

"Mu Li, you are gifted and intelligent, you should be able to understand the essence of it, what I want to tell you most today is only four words, that is, 'gentleman is not a weapon', you must remember these four words, it is extremely important to your cultivation. Lu Yi said again.

"What is a gentleman?" Mu Li asked again, he has seen a lot of this sentence, but he has never delved into its meaning, and he can't study it thoroughly, these four words, put forward by sages since ancient times, are enough to trouble countless later generations of scholars or Confucian monks.

"The metaphysical is the way, and the metaphysical is the instrument. First into the gentleman, then not. A gentleman is not rigid in one style, but should look down on all things! A gentleman has no appearance, that is, there is a law."

"Do you understand, little Chuchu?" After hearing this, Mu Li looked at Chu Chu next to him and asked.

Chu Chu shook his head, saying so vaguely, who could understand.

"I didn't understand either. Mu Li smiled bitterly. sighed in my heart, can you be more direct, your explanation is even more difficult than those four words.

"Haha, okay, don't come and go at the same time, you slowly comprehend yourself, and when the realm is reached, you will understand. You say that you practice swordsmanship, but the gentleman doesn't tell you that you can't just practice swordsmanship. Lu Yi was amused by the appearance of the two.

"Just tell me not to just practice kendo. Mu Li rubbed his old face helplessly.

"Then Lao Lu, you don't have anything to send to me?" Chu Chu asked with a sudden smile, Lu transferred a painting to Gongzi, everyone is a good friend, and she can't be partial, although she doesn't really care.

"Naturally, I want to send it!" Lu Yi was not surprised, he got up again, walked to the two old trees in the courtyard, and picked a mulberry flower and a locust flower successively. Then he walked and handed the mulberry flowers to Chuchu, and handed the acacia flowers to Qinghe.

The second woman is holding a flower, I don't know what it means, I actually send a flower, what kind of operation is this?

"Lao Lu, you're really not interesting, I want to hear your reasoning. Chu Chu pretended not to be very happy.

"Naturally, there is. Lu Yi was very well prepared, so that the second daughter and Mu Li were speechless.

"Mulberry flowers, it is the color of fire, that is, red, Chu Chu you have a relationship with red, and there will be opportunities in the future. As for the acacia flower, it is white, although the Qinghe girl has a 'green' word in her name, and it is most closely related to cyan, but you will have a catastrophe in the future, but you can't avoid this 'white' word. ”

"Whole old Lu, you look like a fortune teller. Mu Li had no clue when he heard it, and he complained about it, Chu Chu was also confused, why did I have a relationship with red?

and Qinghe, she didn't understand, she remembered that the old man said that he was going to cross the fate, why did he have anything to do with the word 'white', and this Lu Yi's words seemed to be more like nonsense, not worth believing.

"Haha, Lao Lu Chayu learned two tricks after dinner, don't say it, it's quite accurate, I knew you came back yesterday. Lu Yi laughed.

". ”

......

The day had passed, and it was getting late, so Mu Li and the three of them finally said goodbye to Lu Yi, accepted the gift and thanked him, and then went to live in a small shop in the alley, and told him that he would go to see the old drunkard who sold wine tomorrow.

In this regard, Lu Yi only said: "Don't be spoiled by that old drunkard, drink less." He naturally knew the amount of the old drunkard, after all, he had drunk together.

After that, Lu Yi put away the wooden table and chessboard, and leisurely returned to the thatched hut in the corner of the courtyard. One of his merits is also considered complete.
