Lifting is virtual, and falling is real.

"Smack"

A chess piece falls crisply on the board.

Xu Chen opened his eyes, and he put all the illusions that had just appeared behind him, however, he was still sitting in this meditation room at this time.

Puzzled, he looked at the chessboard, and the piece he dropped was indeed there, but there was an extra white piece next to it for no reason.

"Oh?"

Xu Chen dragged his chin and thought for a long time, and finally tentatively picked up a chess piece again, and in an instant, that illusion struck again, stone pillars, and a sea of blood.

Although he should have jumped off at this moment, he remembered that the old monk once said that everything was illusion and illusion, so he closed his eyes tightly and did not feel the illusion at this time, he imagined this meditation room, imagined the confrontation at this time.

"Smack!"

A black piece fell again, and as Xu Chen imagined, a white piece appeared on the board again.

Xu Chen smiled slightly, "It seems that if you want to go out, you have to finish this game of chess." ”

As he spoke, Xu Chen picked up a black chess piece again, and just like that, the illusion in front of him began a unique chess game.

He was calm and calm, no longer confused by the illusion of chess.

In this way, I don't know how long it took, his black pieces actually formed a big swastika on the chessboard, such a standard.

You must know that Xu Chen doesn't know how to play chess at all, and the swastika formed will never be seen in any chess game, unless of course it is really two people who can't play chess at all.

At that moment, although Xu Chen did not raise the chess pieces, the chessboard in front of him still began to blur, but a big swastika on the chessboard was clearly visible, and the golden light flickered.

The next moment, what appeared in front of Xu Chen's eyes was a familiar scene.

In the small dormitory, there was a simple chessboard drawn with stones on the ground, for some reason, Xu Chen just wanted to move, but found that his body was so stiff, and with his sudden force, a large piece of cold snowflakes fell off his body.

When Xu Chen brought the bronze mirror to observe himself carefully, he found that there was still a layer of hoarfrost hanging on his hair and eyebrows, of course, after a while, they turned into water droplets, sliding down his cheeks, like crystal teardrops.

"Hah!"

Xu Chen smiled heavily, he should be glad that he had walked out of that illusion.

When he stepped out of his lodgings to see the precious sunshine, he found that the little corona in the square pointed to the same moment as he had left the house.

Xu Chen nodded, as if he understood something, and when he thought of the old monk of the Leadhua Temple, a trace of gratitude arose.

Perhaps it was the danger in the illusion that made him feel the preciousness of this reality, and he no longer seemed to feel so urgent about his cultivation, and paced leisurely on the square, and gradually, he came to the pond again, and saw the golden carp swimming alone.

With his back to the small bamboo forest, he sat down leisurely, perhaps because he had no fish food in his hand, and wanted to tease the muddy golden carp. He grabbed a handful of dry dirt from the ground and threw it into the pond.

He thought that the golden carp must mistake the dust for food, but he didn't expect that the golden carp would hide far away all of a sudden, and it wouldn't swim to Xu Chen's side at all.

An inexplicable feeling instantly rose in Xu Chen's mind, "Damn! Even a fish knows what's true and what's fake, how can I fall so deep? Can't I even catch up with a fish?"

Maybe out of jealousy, maybe out of anger, Xu Chen grabbed another handful of soil, threw it hard, and ran towards the golden carp.

Unexpectedly, the dust did not fly out according to the route he imagined, but was blown straight to the opposite side as if it was being blown by some air current.

Before Xu Chen could react, a voice sounded behind him, "I said, you want to fill up the pond?"

Although the voice was blaming, it did not have a reproachful tone.

Xu Chen turned his head and looked at the bamboo forest behind him, which turned out to be Lin Lingsu again.

I met him here last time, but I didn't know the identity of the other party at the time, so I didn't have that much etiquette.

However, this time it was different, Xu Chen hurriedly got up, bowed to Lin Lingsu, and said softly: "Master Lin!"

"Haha!"

Lin Lingsu smiled heartily, but he didn't turn his head, and continued to look at a piece of bamboo, "Why don't you go to class again?"

"Oh! no!"

Xu Chen grinned, "Yes, I made Jiaoxi angry again, so ......"

"Oh?"

Lin Lingsu turned around, like a gust of breeze, and appeared in front of Xu Chen without taking a step, "How did you make Jiao Xi angry this time?"

"This ......"

Xu Chen wanted to tell a lie, just like Pan An said, just say who he was, but when he looked up at Lin Lingsu's eyes, he told the truth inexplicably, "I played chess in class and disrupted the class." ”

Lin Lingsu put his hands behind his back, looked at Xu Chen for a long time, and said leisurely: "You can also play chess?"

"This, to be exact, should be called no!"

Xu Chen didn't lie.

But this actually aroused Lin Lingsu's interest, "I can't play, why do you play chess in class?"

Xu Chen scratched his head, licked his lips and said, "Maybe, it's because I won't go down!"

Lin Lingsu laughed out loud when he heard this, and he couldn't help nodding, "It makes sense, it makes sense, I think I'm too stupid!"

"Master, I didn't mean that. ”

Lin Lingsu didn't pay attention to it, thinking that he was also broad-minded, he patted Xu Chen's shoulder and said, "How about it?"

"But I won't!"

"Didn't you say that?

"But there's no chessboard or chess pieces here!"

Lin Lingsu waved his hand and said, "Who said that you must use a chessboard and chess pieces to play chess? ”

Xu Chen scratched his head, and said without thinking, "Blind?"

"yes, yes!"

Lin Lingsu smiled slightly, "Go is a nineteen by nineteen chessboard, so our horizontal row is represented by numbers, and the vertical row is represented by the heavenly stem branch, one person takes one step, but you have to remember where you go, of course, you have to remember where I went!"

Saying that, Lin Lingsu sat on the ground casually, "Sanyi!"

Xu Chen didn't expect this to start, he blinked hurriedly, thinking that he couldn't stand taller than his master, so he sat down next to Lin Lingsu, he really thought about it for a long time, and finally held back one, "That, that, ten." ”

"Huh?"

Lin Lingsu was almost amused by Xu Chen's "Ten Decays", he turned his head and looked at Xu Chen for a long time, and finally only said one sentence, "It seems that we should talk about something else." ”

Yes, Xu Chen doesn't know how to play chess at all, the "Ten Decay" he just said is actually Tianyuan in the middle of the chessboard, which made Lin Lingsu realize that he couldn't go down, otherwise he would definitely be played miserably by this stinky boy.

The so-called playing chess with a stinky chess basket, the more you play, the more stinky it becomes, this is the truth.

Lin Lingsu groaned twice, and his kind gaze fell on Xu Chen's face, "Xu Chen! Do you know why my junior brother and I have been so good to you since you entered the Dushan Sect?"

"This, this is probably because the master thinks that I am not talented enough, and I should care more about ......it."

Before Xu Chen could finish speaking, Lin Lingsu stopped him from continuing, "I didn't expect you to be so good at talking." Okay, so I'll say to myself, it's because of your talent, remember the first time you came here, those kids asked you to test?"

"Kid?"

The corners of Xu Chen's mouth twitched, he didn't think that those official eunuchs were simple children, but he still nodded.

Lin Lingsu smiled slightly and said: "Actually, my junior brother and I have been watching, after seeing your performance, my junior brother and I decided at the same time that you will definitely have an unlimited future in the future, in fact, my junior brother and I both regard you as the biggest competitor in the Drizzle Pavilion, so we will take such care of you." ”

Saying this, his eyes changed slightly, "I thought that according to the time when the Drizzle Pavilion opened, you would definitely be able to successfully enter the Drizzle Pavilion in a few years, but the incident happened suddenly, and the opening of the Drizzle Pavilion this time was completely improvised, so it is impossible with your current cultivation, but don't worry, I believe that as long as you wait a few more years, you will definitely succeed in entering." ”

The breeze blew, Xu Chen didn't speak, he didn't know what to say, saying that he was working hard to cultivate, and he was going to enter the Drizzle Pavilion this time? That seemed a little too arrogant.

A long time passed, Xu Chen nodded slightly, but only said: "Thank you Master for your confidence in me." ”

Lin Lingsu smiled slightly, but he didn't say anything further, but directly diverted the topic, casually pointed to the bamboo forest behind him and said, "Don't you want to ask me what I was doing here just now?"

Xu Chen was stunned for a moment, and he didn't know what the other party meant when he said this, but after thinking about it for a long time, he couldn't think of it, so he replied casually: "Shizun is enjoying the scenery?"

"No! Of course not. ”

Lin Lingsu shook his head and said, "I'm in Gezhu, of course, it's actually right if you have to call it appreciating the scenery, but the scenery I appreciate is not the same as the scenery you see!"

"The so-called dust and world, in fact, simple bamboo has the same complex structure as everything in heaven and earth, do you believe it?"

Xu Chen wanted to say whether he believed it or not, but looking at the old man's innocent expression, he believed that as long as he said this, then this conversation might end immediately, so he still nodded, did not believe it, and did not say that he did not believe it.

Seeing Xu Chen nodding, Lin Lingsu smiled with satisfaction, "I told you last time, in fact, the reason why everything in the world looks different is because you look at them differently, in fact, what you see and feel is just yourself." Therefore, there is a common principle of everything in any thing, so a piece of bamboo actually contains all things, and naturally, it also contains the method of cultivation. ”

Hearing Lin Lingsu say this, Xu Chen's eyes lit up instantly, "Then why can't I see it?"

"Haha!"

Lin Lingsu shook his head and smiled, "It's not that you can't see it, it's me, and I can't see it clearly, and it can even be said that what I see is only one-twelfth of this principle, or one or two out of ten thousand." If you can really see through the mystery one day, it will be to the point of becoming an immortal. ”

"So amazing?"

"Of course!"

Lin Lingsu replied firmly, "In fact, the so-called cultivation is the communication of all things in nature, and only communication can be understood, but if you can understand it by nature, why do you need to practice?"

As he spoke, he said with a little excitement: "Have you ever heard of Yuxuan Zhenren? Legend has it that he has already realized the Tao at the age of ten, and he can directly attract the aura of heaven and earth with his sword. There is also a Jechenzi, who may be younger than the age of Yuxuan Zhenren's enlightenment, so don't practice blindly, experience nature a lot, and open your eyes, this is the real way to practice. ”
