Chapter 18 This is not a chessboard, this is a field!
But what Fang Tian didn't expect was that two days later, in the giant rock city, Sharjah and an old man were sitting opposite each other, and between the two people, there was another Go game.
At this time, Sha Jia was demonstrating the Go rules he got from Fang Tian to the old man bit by bit.
"Teacher, these are the specific rules." After the demonstration, Sha Jia said respectfully.
The old man reached out and picked up the chess pieces on the chessboard, and played with them slowly for a moment according to the rules taught by Sharjah. Then he closed his eyes and went into meditation! Sharjah didn't think anything strange, and just waited quietly.
This wait lasts three days!
At noon on the third day, the old man finally slowly opened his eyes and looked at Sharjah sitting opposite. The first sentence he said was: "Master!" and then the second sentence.
Said: "Sharjah, come on, you come and play the next game with me."
Soon the chessboard was cleared, and the two of them started to move, one behind the other.
Both of them moved quickly, but in about half an hour, the chess game came to an end.
"Teacher, I lost." Sharjah said.
The old man didn't respond, he just nodded and said, "Come again."
So another round begins.
In this game, the old man easily killed Sharjah's dragon. During the entire chess game, Sharjah felt as if he was the meat on the chopping board, without any resistance at all.
The third set.
In this game, the old man's chess style changed drastically. It became like the wind, rushing forward and backward, flying left and turning right, which completely confused Sharjah.
As a result, without knowing it, the dragon of Sharjah was killed again!
It wasn't until the moment he was completely killed that Sharjah could see the entire chessboard clearly.
"Shaja, if you act like this, you will never win." The old man said calmly.
"Teacher, what do you mean?"
"Read me the passage from Chapter 10 of Journey to the West."
For people who have reached the level of the two of them, photographic memory is really a trivial matter that is not worth mentioning. After hearing what the old man said, Sha Jia didn't even hesitate at all, so he read the passage word for word.
Slowly recited:
The most important thing in the game is to be rigorous. The high player should be in the belly, the low player should be on the side, and the middle player should be in the corner. This is the common method of chess players.
Dharma says:
It is better to lose a child than to lose an advance. When attacking left, look to the right, and when attacking behind, look forward. If there is an early one, then go first, if there is a late one, then go first. Don’t break two lives, and don’t live together. Don’t be too wide, and don’t be too close.
.Instead of loving a son in order to survive, it is better to abandon him and gain power; instead of having nothing to do and going alone, it is better to consolidate and replenish oneself. Among those who are few, we must first seek their survival; among others, we are few, so we must expand their power. Good at winning.
Those who are good at formation will not fight; those who are good at fighting will not be defeated, and those who are good at losing will not be chaotic. The husband's chess starts with a perfect match, and ends with a surprising victory. Any enemy who has nothing to do and only repairs himself has the intention of invading; abandon small and
Those who do not save people have great intentions. Those who follow the situation casually are without any plan; those who respond without thinking are the way to defeat.
Sha Jia paused for a moment before reciting here, and then continued with the remaining four sentences: "The chessboard is the earth and the sky, and the colors are created according to the yin and yang. Go down to the place of Xuanwei Tongbian, and laugh and praise the dead Kexian that day."
When Sharjah finished reciting, the old man tapped the chessboard with his fingers, "Sharjah, you kind of disappoint me." The old man didn't look at Sharjah, but just stared at the chessboard and chess pieces, and said slowly.
"Please give me some advice, teacher!"
Sharjah did not dare to sit any longer, stood up, took a few steps back, and bowed respectfully to listen like a young apprentice who had just started.
"The higher one is in the belly, the lower one is in the side, and the middle one is in the horn. - What is the belly? The capital of this country is the belly! What is the horn? Giant Rock City is the horn! Linhai City is the horn! What is the edge? Red Stone Town
It’s the border! Mingyue Town is the border! Samp Town is the border!”
"It is better to lose a son than to lose an advantage. - What does it mean to rather lose a son than to lose an advantage? It means that the following people should rather love their children to survive than abandon their children to gain power!"
"Instead of walking alone without having anything to do, why not stick to it and make up for yourself? - What does it mean to go alone without having anything to do? It means blindly pursuing novel things. What does it mean to fix it and make up for yourself? It means to use every magic you know,
Excavate and utilize them all to the highest, largest, and strongest!”
"What does it mean to make a living first among others? It means to find a foothold first, to find a place where you can set your feet, and then you can take advantage of the situation to win and become stronger because of victory!"
"What do you mean, I am outnumbered and trying to maximize my power? It means that when you, a quasi-mage, want to destroy Hongshi Town, there is no need to rush to do it. As long as the news is released, they will divide themselves and disintegrate.
, it will collapse!”
…
The old man spoke every word, his voice was not loud, but it was like thunder, exploding in Sharjah's heart.
After finishing the sentence that Sharjah just recited sentence by sentence, the old man finally said in conclusion: "What is this? This is not a game, this is a murderous robbery! This is not a chessboard, this is a field! This is only for the strong.
The domain of the author!"
Sharjah was so shaken that he couldn't help himself.
I only heard the old man continue to say: "We are magicians. Do you always have the four elements of magicians engraved in your heart? When I played with you just now, in the first game, I used earth magic on you. On the chessboard
The word 'Tangle' was displayed on the screen, but you were unaware of it. In the second game, I used fire magic on you and used the chessboard to cast the word 'Boom', but you still didn't realize it. In the third game, I used the word 'Boom' on you.
Wind magic is demonstrating the essence of wind magic for you, and you still don’t realize it! Do you want me to show you all the magic of the four major elements, and then you tell me that from beginning to end, you are the same
Unaware? With this knowledge, how can you become a magician! Even if I make you a magician, I can still use the power of a magic apprentice to kill you!"
Sharjah plopped and fell to his knees, not daring to speak. He just bent his body deeply and nodded his head on the ground.
"Get up." After a while, the old man said slowly.
After Sharjah stood up, the old man said: "Actually, I don't blame you. If you can practice to the point where you have one foot on the threshold of a magician in thirty years, Sharjah, the teacher is already very satisfied with you.
But! Sharjah, today, the teacher also wants to tell you that since we are magicians, magic is everything! The four elements are everything! In turn, everything in this world is also magic! They are all four elements.
!”
Sharjah was fascinated and listened respectfully.
At this time, Sha Jia only felt that the teacher in front of him had turned into the wind, turned into clouds, turned into heavy rain, turned into thunder, turned into the thick earth, turned into the blue sea...
Finally, it became the whole world!
"Teacher, disciples must not dare to disobey the teacher's teachings! Throughout this life, disciples do not dare to expect to reach the same level as the teacher, but they must sacrifice their lives and do their best. One day, they will make this world a better place.
Let these elements acknowledge my presence and obey my orders!"
After hearing this, the old man finally brightened up, nodded and smiled, and then said to Sharjah:
"The chessboard is made up of the earth and the sky, and the colors are created according to the yin and yang. When I go down to the place where Xuanwei changes, I laugh and praise the immortal Lanke that day. This thing is extraordinary and lives up to the name of Lanke. It is subtle and mysterious, and it is really
It’s so profound that it’s indescribable. In just three days of understanding, I have benefited greatly from it, and even the road before me is no longer foggy! Within twenty years, I will go straight into the holy realm.”
