11. Chess game
The dawn of the morning.
The floating islands arranged in a ring above Ziwei Peak are illuminated by the golden morning sun, and from a distance, it seems that the lonely Ziwei Peak on the mountain wall has put on a brilliant laurel crown.
On one of the floating islands, Lin Ning let out a breath of fresh air and ended his meditation.
Pushing open the door and coming out, the sun filled the small courtyard. Lin Ning stretched out against the brilliant morning sun. The air in this era is so good, with aura, sweet and silky.
The floating island where Lin Ning is located is not big or small, and there is only a neat and tidy small courtyard on it.
Lin Ning lives in the main house, and there are two side houses that are empty, and the houses are very large.
Shangqing Gate did not allow maids to be brought, but before the guard of honor left, the maids brought out of the palace had already cleaned up all the furniture for her.
The room layout of the house where she lived was exactly the same as that of the eldest princess's mansion, and it was also re-changed according to her preferences, and a large area was vacated as a study, and a lot of books and jade slips were placed.
Wen Qing said it in a hurry, and asked her to make a regular list of books, and the imperial city sent it to her. Lin Ning was very satisfied.
In the courtyard in the middle of the courtyard, a delicate grape trellis is set up, and tables and chairs are placed in it, so that people can receive them when they visit.
Behind the courtyard is a peach forest, the floating island is like spring all year round, and the scorching peach blossoms bloom all year round, like pink clouds, dotting the floating island like a dream.
These peach trees have grown for so many years, and they are also fairy peaches. It would not be surprising to become a Jing Lin Ning.
In front of the gate of the courtyard is a reclaimed spiritual field, and now half of it is planted with some ordinary elixirs, and the other half is planted with spiritual valleys. In the past, it was all taken care of by the outer disciples on a regular basis, and Lin Ning let them go on as usual.
Ever since he accidentally built the foundation in the Taiyi Immortal Dao, Lin Ning has been consolidating his cultivation during this time. Read books and meditate on weekdays, don't live too leisurely.
Every month, Taihao Xianjun will arrange a one-on-one lesson with Lin Ning.
Taihao Xianjun does not advocate the use of ready-made exercises. He said that things like exercises and spells are just the experience summed up by his predecessors.
Spells are the experience of spiritual power operating outside the body. Through countless practices, the predecessors were able to achieve specific results by operating spiritual power in specific methods and controlling the nature of spiritual power.
Learning spells is a matter for the predecessors to plant trees and the descendants to enjoy the shade.
But when it comes to exercises, everyone's situation is unique. The exercises are the experience of the spiritual power in the body. The exercises created by the founder of the exercises are certainly the most suitable for himself.
However, the descendants who study the exercises, even if their physique is similar to the founder of the exercises, will never be able to exert 100% of the effects of the exercises.
Looking at the current immortal cultivation world, those who can reach the level of Taihao Immortal Monarch are all privately customized.
As Taihao Xianjun's apprentice, he had high standards and strict requirements from the beginning, and the first assignment assigned to Lin Ning was to create exercises suitable for his current stage.
With Taihao Xianjun's broad vision for Lin Ning, he was not afraid that Lin Ning would take a detour in terms of exercises. When you create the exercises, it's not terrible to have a wrong idea, but it's terrible to have no idea.
During this time, in addition to consolidating his cultivation, Lin Ning spent all his time studying the exercises, and also brought some rare books from the royal family for reference. Study hard, every day is very busy and fulfilling.
Seeing that today is the time of the month again. Lin Ning walked to the peach forest behind the courtyard and found the crane she had been freeing up next to a small pond.
The crane is the most common means of transportation in the Shangqing Gate. Meek, easy to raise, not slow to fly, and good looking. After entering, Chenhuanzi gave Lin Ning one, which was a particularly beautiful little girl.
The crane lowered its head to her, and Lin Ning touched the oily and slippery feathers on its neck, and passed on a trace of thought.
Then the crane lowered its body and let Lin Ning climb on its back. With a light and elegant two-step run, the crane spreads its wings and flies.
The wind whistled in his ears, and Lin Ning leaned on the back of the crane, watching his small courtyard get smaller and smaller under his feet. Gently patted the crane on the back and let it fly towards the main peak of Ziwei Peak.
The usable living area of Ziwei Peak is the smallest of the five mountains and twelve peaks of Shangqingmen. Because Ziwei Peak is steep, there are almost cliffs from the top of the mountain to the mountainside. Only the base of the mountain and the summit have flat terrain.
At the foot of the mountain live more than a thousand disciples of the outer sect, and on the top of the mountain there is only one person, Taihao Xianjun. No palace was built, only a large garden.
The pavilion water pavilion is quite interesting, and a small waterfall and a hot spring water are enclosed at the back of the garden.
I heard that every grass and tree here was taken care of by Taihao Xianjun himself. The first time Lin Ning came, he felt that Taihao Xianjun was a person with a lot of life style.
The crane descended outside the gate of the garden, and Lin Ning let it play by itself, turned around and entered the gate.
Walk all the way along the cloister, pass the moon gate, and come to a courtyard. At the end of the lush bamboo forest, low fence walls, and pebbled winding paths is Taihao Xianjun's study.
"Master. Lin Ning stood outside the door of the study and called.
I heard Taihao Xianjun say "come in".
Lin Ning pushed open the door and saw Taihao Xianjun sitting on the couch by the window, holding a chess game in his hand, and an endgame in front of him. I'm playing chess against myself.
Lin Ning walked over and glanced at the chessboard.
Taihao Xianjun had black hair on his temples and was wearing a cyan regular clothes. When twisting the piece, the wide sleeves hang down, revealing a transparent wrist, and the slender fingers twist the white seed, which is even warmer than a chess piece made of jade.
Seeing Lin Ning looking at the chess game, Taihao Xianjun raised his eyes to look at her and asked, "What do you see?"
Lin Ning shook his head honestly. "I don't understand. ”
Taihao Xianjun smiled dumbly. Only then did I remember that the apprentice was only five years old. Although there is a family history, it has only been two years since I learned chess, and it is strange to see what I can see.
"Then I'll tell you about it. Taihao raised his hand and motioned for Lin Ning to sit opposite, then lit the chessboard to analyze the chess game for her.
"Until now in this game, the black son has basically been restricted to death by the white piece. All the places where it can break through have the back hand left by Baizi, and only by following Baizi's will can there be a glimmer of life, but looking at Kuroko's intentions, he just wants a fish to die and break the net. ”
Fingertips gently tapped the chessboard twice, Taihao said. "What would you do if you were a white child?"
It's obviously a sunspot who is dangerous, but it's a white child who asks.
Lin Ning glanced at the chess game, and then at the master. Bai Zi can obviously destroy the sunspot in one fell swoop, but he keeps his hands everywhere, and the intention of discipline is greater than the intention of killing.
Kuroko looks unstoppable, but he only knows how to rampage, but he doesn't want to follow Baizi's mind, and would rather hit his head and bleed.
"Is Master asking about chess, or is he asking about people?" Lin Ning frowned slightly.
Baizi is the master, and Heizi is Lingxiao.
It seems that Ling Xiao's affairs are not going well, and Taihao Xianjun has a headache.
