"Wherever there are people, there are fights. There are many Taoist temples in Taoism, and most Taoist temples claim to be the authentic Taoist school. Now the three religions, Taoism, Buddhism, and Confucianism, are competing for who is the authentic Taoist school in the world. In order to determine the winner, they are debating on the scriptures and meanings. When there is a close tie, playing chess and using martial arts to decide the outcome. Although this usually occurs in debates on classics and meanings where there is no winner, within Taoist temples, there is often no winner. Rely on chess skills and martial arts to decide the situation of the problem. If you enter a Taoist temple in the future, you will inevitably encounter such a situation, so you must be prepared in advance." Father Chen explained.
"Yes, Father. If I go to study Taoism, how will the admission to the Water Academy be handled that day?" Chen Fan asked. In fact, Chen Fan still secretly wants to go to Tianshui College to understand this era better. After all, Tianshui College is a bit like a junior high school in modern society. You learn basic knowledge first, and then start dividing arts and sciences into classes, but the subjects are different. In today's society Learn professionalism earlier and learn more broadly. If he had to choose, Taoist Temple would be his first choice, followed by Tianshui Academy.
"I'll go talk to the college about enrolling in Tianshui College and then resign. What do you think?"
"I want to wait until I go to the Taoist temple with Master before making a decision. If I can go to the Taoist temple to study, I am inclined to go to the Taoist temple. If I go to the Taoist academy, I think it is better to go to Tianshui College. After all, it can give me a wider exposure to various disciplines. Of course, , I would also like to consult Master Han for his opinion." Master Han is the teacher Chen Fan saw in the clip.
"Okay, let's make a decision later. You should study Go carefully now, and my father will play it with you in two days to see how your chess skills are now. Is there anything else?"
"By the way, Dad, I have one more thing that I want to ask Dad about." Chen Fan suddenly remembered something.
"What's the matter?" Father Chen was stunned and asked.
"It's about Hou Feng. What do you think of this person?" Chen Fan thought for a while and decided to tell his father what he was thinking.
"Why do you ask about this?" Father Chen did not answer, but asked instead.
"It's like this. I'm going to school soon, whether it's a Taoist temple or a college. I want to have a follower. I wonder if my father can arrange for someone?" Chen Fan asked directly.
Father Chen thought for a while and said, "Hou Feng is an honest person, and it is appropriate for him to be your follower. However, he is sent by your mother's family, and you must obtain your mother's consent."
"It seems that my mother's family is not simple." Chen Fan guessed in his heart and said, "Father, there is nothing else to do, so I will leave first."
"Okay, go ahead and study more and read more when you have nothing to do." Chen's father still couldn't hold it back and told him to study hard. It seemed that he also had expectations for his son to succeed.
Chen Fan returned to his room from his father's study and started busy preparing for his homework.
First of all, the "Tao Te Ching" must be learned; secondly, you must not fall behind in martial arts training, and you must practice external skills for at least an hour every day; thirdly, you must read more Go records and learn more, and you must understand what the level of chess is. It’s not easy to ask your father, after all, this may be something you knew in your previous life; fourth, you need to review what you have learned before; fifth, you have to visit classmates and teachers later, which is a necessary step to integrate into this society. One step out. Fortunately, the help of "Cheng Ying" gave Chen Fan confidence. As for when "Dingguang" will be withdrawn, we will consider it later. After all, there is no rush to use it now.
After sorting out the period that needed to be dealt with later, Chen Fan began to put his mind away and seize the time to study. Fortunately, Chen Fan is a homebody. He used to love reading novels at home. Now that he has "Cheng Ying", studying is not boring for Chen Fan, but a pleasure. There are many things to copy, in addition to letting "Cheng Ying" reflect them. In addition to "Taodejing" and "Caomupu", it is part of the "Book of Songs". The "Book of Songs" is divided into three parts: "Wind", "Ya" and "Ode" in terms of content, and "Fu" and "Bi" in terms of technique. "prosper". Chen Fan mapped two or three poems in each part. After clarifying the content and technique, the other poems were just copied and understood without mapping. Memorizing and reciting the classics did not completely rely on "shadowing". In this way, in addition to the tips given by "Chengying", using too much appearance can lead to foreigners, and more importantly, Chen Fan believes that people should be independent, the more they use their minds, the more flexible they will be, and never base their hopes on external things. In the end, they can Always rely on yourself, not a tool.
"The Tao Te Ching" is also known as "Laozi's Five Thousand Words". Chen Fan copied 2,000 words every day. After careful consideration, he mapped it out, striving to first understand and then compare. It took him three days to complete. As for the Book of Songs, there are 300 poems, and the number of words is only slightly more than that of the Tao Te Ching. However, Chen Fan spent three times as long as copying the Tao Te Ching to complete the study. In addition to understanding and reciting it, he also compared it with the poems and poems written by later generations. After comparing the words with each other and confirming the understanding, Chen Fan was quite satisfied with the progress. If it weren't for "Cheng Ying", he would not have been able to achieve this efficiency.
At the same time, my understanding of Go has also improved a lot. Originally at the second level of the modern wild fox, Chen Fan believed that he should be one of the best in this era. Especially the advent of "Alfa Dog" in modern society has brought about changes in the theoretical thinking of Go, which has greatly improved the level of Go. , incomparable to the ancients, but after reading "Caomupu" and understanding the classification of Go in this era, Chen Fan extinguished his pride.
In this era, Go is divided into nine levels. The first level is the highest and the ninth level is just the entry level. This is contrary to the modern society that defines nine levels as the highest level and one level as the entry level.
The first level is "Enlightenment", which means that the chess skills have reached the state of perfection, the chess game is unpredictable, and the player can predict the chess game without fighting against others. Chen Fan also wanted to reach this level, but he couldn't catch up to it.
The second grade is "Sitting in the Photo". His chess skills are ethereal and he is good at adapting to changes. He can respond to the situation casually without thinking. Chen Fan also wanted to play chess without thinking and just rely on his subconscious to play chess. Chen Fan asked himself that he couldn't do it.
The third level is called concrete. If you encounter a battle, you will win. If you take advantage, your power will be high. If you attack, you will attack. If you defend, you will defend. This is the combination of everyone's strengths. He is good at offense and defense. It can be said that he is victorious in every battle. This is difficult for Chen Fan to think about.
The fourth grade is Tongyou, the soul is empty and empty, and the meaning can be understood deeply and the layout is exquisite. When facing a situation, you can block or attack well, be flexible and adaptable, and be able to take the initiative whether to fight or not. Chen Fan felt that for him, everything was hanging in the balance.
The fifth level is called Wisdom. It does not have a true understanding of the opponent's intentions, but it can use resourcefulness to make profound calculations. Chen Fan felt that it was possible for him to achieve this.
The sixth grade is called Xiaoqiao. Although it cannot be arranged in a big way, it has its own ingenuity in every aspect and is superior to others, so it is called Xiaoqiao. When fighting, you can't have a subtle layout, but you can use your wisdom to achieve your goals. Chen Fan feels that it can be achieved.
The seventh level is fighting strength, which means you like to fight and fight against the enemy, without using your intelligence and relying on brute force.
The eighth grade is said to be foolish, observing the layout, rotely memorizing fixed patterns, not being good at adapting, and often the situation is already defeated without realizing it, which is circuitous.
The ninth grade is called defensive clumsiness. It does not know how to attack, but only knows how to defend, in order to protect itself. The result is full of loopholes, which is clumsy.
Chen Fan's self-assessment is that he can reach the fifth or sixth grade, which is slightly better than his father. I don't know if it is? His father originally said that he would play chess with him for two days, but there was no movement after that. Chen Fan didn't know what level his chess skills were in this society.
In this way, he came to this world for twelve days in a flash of busy study. After so many days, Chen Fan's life was quite regular, mainly boxing, reading, and greeting his mother. Normally, everyone eats in their own rooms in the morning and noon, and eats together in the evening. Chen Fan also became familiar with his family, and felt that his homework was almost consolidated. He was very quiet and thought about it. He felt that before Master Jia came to pick him up, he needed to go out to visit his classmates and teachers as planned to check out the social environment. I thought that before I even went out, my classmates came to my door first.
In the morning, Chen Fan had just finished exercising and practiced basic boxing skills. Achun came over and said, "Lang Jun, your classmates Feng Can and Gong Qing are here to see you."
"Okay, invite them in quickly." Chen Fan said happily, thinking to himself that he just happened to go out for a walk, and he started to change out of the clothes. After being here for so many days, he still knew where the clothes were.
"Fasheng, why didn't you come out to see us for so long?" As soon as he entered the door, a fat man with dark skin said, it was Feng Can.
"Oh, I got sick for no reason some time ago. Fortunately, I'm fine now. Why did you just come to see me today?"
"It's not convenient for us to come in to your high-rise compound." A slightly thin boy who looked particularly energetic said jokingly with a smile. He was the Gong Qing seen in Chen Fan's clip.
"The door of my house is not always open to you. It depends on whether you want to come or not." Chen Fan countered.
"Okay, let's get down to business. Today we are going to have a hand-to-hand talk. How are you preparing?" Feng Can asked.
Wow, hand talk, Chen Fan knows that playing Go has been called "playing chess" and "hand talk" in history. It seems that people in this era use hand talk to mean playing Go. I didn’t know I was going to have a hand-to-hand talk today! Fortunately, two friends of the original owner are here, so stay calm.
Immediately he said: "What's today's date? Is it set for today? I've been a little confused these past two days, and I can't figure out the time."
"Well, it seems that you were really ill before. Today is the 8th of August in the 17th year of Tianjian. It is the day of our first Go match in Hudu County. We will compete for three consecutive days to determine ten people to represent our county. Gusu will participate." Gong Qing said.
It seems that Gong Qing has a good relationship with the original owner, otherwise he wouldn't speak so casually and likes to criticize others, Chen Fan thought. "Well, then you two have to work hard to win and try to go to Suzhou." Let's give them a boost and test their Go level.
"If I win, I will definitely take you two with me. If either of you wins, you will also take me with you." Feng Can continued.
"There is little chance of you winning, so just follow us. Fasheng, you still have a chance." Gong Qing scolded Feng Can, then turned to encourage Chen Fan.
