"Master!" Chen Fan was a little happy and hurriedly stood up and saluted. Like Chen Fan, everyone stood up to greet them when they saw the two masters. The two masters nodded with smiles and greeted everyone. Master Li said, "Everyone, sit down, sit down. You are here, Ma Bo!"
"Yes, Master, I'm here with my friends for a little gathering today." Mabo replied.
"Okay, you play. Don't worry about us."
"Fasheng, this Master Li, you just played against each other on the playing field." Master Han said from the side.
"I've met Master Li." Fasheng said with a salute, and Gong Qing and Feng Can next to him also saluted.
"Fasheng, I didn't expect that you play chess well and write well. This "Nineteen Ways of Go" is clearly organized and thought-provoking. Although it has some flaws, the idea is good. I happen to be the author of this book. The owner of the teahouse, I wonder if Fa Sheng is willing to leave this article hanging in the shop, and it will be a good talk in the future." Master Li took the opportunity to say.
"Of course, I have to ask the waiter to prepare the paper. I will make two more copies. One will be taken to Tianshui College by Ma Bo, and the other will be left in the teahouse." Chen Fan agreed, and by the way, he made it clear that he would only make two more copies. The handwriting I just wrote to Liang Xiu was serious and took a lot of effort. Fortunately, I am now in good physical condition. I study hard and practice calligraphy regularly, so I can still persevere.
Master Han still felt sorry for the student and said: "You just had a handwriting interview this morning, and you wrote and copied it in the afternoon. Master Li, it doesn't matter if I give it to you in a day or two, but the handwriting cannot be fooled. It should be better than the one just written." Well done."
"Yes, it doesn't matter if it's a day or two late. I didn't expect you to come to this teahouse today. It's a coincidence. Master Han and I just talked about you. You and Master Han will play a game later and let him take a look at you. How are your chess skills now?" Li Fuzi took over. It seems that he may not mind losing to Chen Fan, but he is worried about the students who lost to Han Fuzi. Of course, if Chen Fan wins Han Fuzi, the situation will be different. .
"Okay, Chen Fan, let's play a game later and see how your chess skills are now." As Chen Fan's teacher, of course he was happy to see his students' improvement in chess skills, but he probably still didn't believe that Chen Fan could beat him. .
"Okay, Master, I just have something to ask Master for advice." Chen Fan said respectfully.
"Go to my place and leave it to these friends to play." Master Li said.
"Okay." Chen Fan agreed.
"No, this place is big enough. We can watch and learn from Han Fuzi and Chen Fasheng's chess game." Ma Bo said.
Master Li did not agree on behalf of Chen Fan and Master Han, but looked at Master Han. "Whatever, that's it, no need to bother, we can sit here and ask the waiter to add a table next to it. Those who want to watch can watch, and those who don't want to watch can also play chess on the table next to them." Master Han said.
Master Li looked at Chen Fan. Chen Fan was even more indifferent. Seeing Master Li looking at him, he immediately said, "Listen to Master."
"Then let's do it." Master Li finally made the final decision.
The waiter immediately went to add a table. Han Fuzi and Chen Fan sat down on the table where they had just written. Chen Fan handed the copied Nineteenth Road Theory to Liang Xiu, put the original paper away, and left the table free. Someone next to them handed over the chess piece. Han Fuzi and Chen Fan did not give in to each other, but guessed the first move. Chen Fan guessed wrong this time and took the black chess, moving second.
Han Fuzi went first, Xiao Fei defended the corner, Chen Fan Xiao Fei hung up and launched an attack on the other corner, and the battle between the two sides began. After playing more than thirty moves with each other, the two sides were in a balanced chess position. A question suddenly appeared in front of Chen Fan, a big win or a small defeat? In the corner that Master started with, Xingmu and Xiaofei were guarding the corner. Later, due to Chen Fan's attack, it was never strengthened, giving Chen Fan three or three opportunities to enter. If he succeeds, there will be at least twenty goals on the board. If Being wiped out strengthened the master's strength, so it was a small loss. Should we attack or not? Chen Fan was quite confident that he would consciously tap into San San to do the job. But there was another question. Would it be good or bad if he could win the master like this?
Life is about choices, there are factors inside the chessboard and factors outside the chessboard. Chen Fan had heard before that ministers did not dare to win when playing chess with the emperor. Chen Fan also thought that those ministers were timid. He did not expect that he had not yet reached the level of playing chess with the emperor. He was only playing against his former teacher. He began to worry about gains and losses. It turns out that sometimes winning or not is not important. It is the balance between gains and losses that is important. Chen Fan suddenly had a clear understanding in his heart, and he entered the game three or three times.
As Chen Fan entered, Master Han gradually began to think deeply. Since there were so many people watching, and his students were opposite him, Master Han probably felt the pressure gradually. After the failure of encircling and annihilating Chen Fan, he no longer persisted, and He surrendered on his own initiative.
"Fa Sheng, no wonder you were able to beat Mr. Li in the Go competition. Now your chess skills have indeed improved a lot."
Next to him, Master Li, who originally saw Master Han's defeat, beamed with joy. When he heard Master Han's words, his smile suddenly became stiff. However, Master Li was used to seeing big scenes, and he realized that Master Han had only lost to his apprentice, and in terms of face. He might be a little embarrassed, but it wasn't necessarily to shudder him when he said this. He just wanted to have someone to support him before he died, but he couldn't let him go easily. He immediately said: "Look, I said that I have good chess skills. Do you believe it now?" "
Chen Fan didn't wait for Master Han to answer, and immediately took over and said, "Thanks to Master's good teaching, it was a bit of a fluke."
Master Han shook his head and said: "It's not easy to get lucky in Go. How can you enter the top ten by fluke and beat Master Li and me by luck? You have indeed made great progress now. In fact, judging from your "Ten" "Nine Roads Theory", I will know that if you can change the difference between the seventeenth road and the nineteenth road, the third and fourth lines, and clearly calculate the difference in purpose, I will know that you have worked hard now. If you now If you take the chess quality test, it is estimated that the eighth and ninth grades will not be a problem, and you can also pass the sixth and seventh grades. After you enter Tianshui Academy, you can apply for the chess quality test."
As a teacher, he is very reserved in his words. Master Li did not directly say that Master Han did not believe in Chen Fan's high level of chess skills before, but used "now you believe it" to explain that Master Han did not believe it in the past, to remind Master Han. . Han Fuzi is more clever. He did not admit that he believed in Chen Fan's skill at chess because he lost. Instead, he used the words "Before playing, when I saw "Nineteen Routes", I believed it. It had nothing to do with whether I lost or not, so I counterattacked. Master Li’s word “now”.
It seemed that Master Han had been joking about Master Li's loss to Chen Fan before, but now he also lost. The two teachers were fighting each other for another round without any disturbance.
Chen Fan saw that Han Fuzi said that he could apply for a chess test after going to Tianshui College, and he happened to want to consult Taoist temples, Taoist temples, and Tianshui colleges. Which one is better? Although there are a lot of people now, this is not something that needs to be kept secret. Besides, you can ask implicitly, and immediately said: "Master, I heard that in addition to going to Tianshui Academy at our age, we can also go to Taoist temples to study, such as Baiyun Temple, Zhenwu Temple, you can also go to the Taoist temples they run to study. One of my relatives is planning to go to Qian Taoist Temple. If you can go to the Taoist temple, it is said that you can directly learn advanced Taoism. I wonder where Master thinks we should study best at this stage? "
"If it was a thousand years ago, of course it would be best to go to the Taoist temple to learn." Han Fuzi said without thinking, "But now that spiritual power has declined, the only things left are sword control and divination. You can also go to the Taoist temple to learn, but these two are not If you like Fa Sheng, it would be better to go to the academy. For example, Fa Sheng, if you are good at chess now, you can study chess after you go there. The specific place to go depends on the individual."
"Thank you, Master." Chen Fan said. In fact, Chen Fan still has an opinion in his mind about where to go, but it is better to listen to different people's opinions.
"Go to the academy and be born like the Dharma. It would be a pity not to go to the academy. Taoism has disappeared because of its inaction. No one has seen Buddhism in the Western world. Only Confucianism has produced more saints. For thousands of years, there are still saints who have appeared as saints, although they are not There are many, but saints do exist, and the human spirit is immortal. If you go to Confucianism, you can cultivate your spiritual power." Master Li said from the side.
Can spiritual power be cultivated? What are the differences between Tongdao practitioners? In an instant, Chen Fan's heart was racing, and he immediately asked: "How to cultivate spiritual power?" This was Chen Fan's first and most important question. After all, the original owner Chen Fasheng may have heard that Confucianism can cultivate spiritual power, but he must not know how. At the same time, Chen Fan glanced at the others and saw that everyone seemed to be listening attentively. He understood in his heart that the others were not very clear either.
"Have you ever heard of the Heavenly Official's Will?" Master Li asked.
Chen Fan saw some people shaking their heads subconsciously, such as Gong Qing and Feng Can, others nodding, such as Liang Xiu, and others standing still, perhaps not responding. Of course, he could neither answer "know" or "don't know" at this time, so he immediately said: "Ask the Master for advice." I knew it before, but I definitely didn't have mastery and needed to ask the Master for advice. I didn't know before, and even more, I had to ask the Master for advice. Otherwise, how could the Master show his talent and learning?
Like Liang Xiu nodded, in class, the master probably had to ask him to stand up and answer. Even if he knew about this kind of thing, Chen Fan would probably pretend to be confused at this time, such as forgetting, not remembering everything before, let alone now I really don’t know.
Master Li nodded and said: "The Heavenly Officials are human sense organs. People can grasp things through the sense organs. The sensory organs include eyes, ears, nose, tongue, and skin, excluding the brain. The Heavenly Officials mean things through the sense organs." Practice to improve your sensitivity to the outside world and thereby improve your spiritual power. This set of exercises was created by a saint and is said to be able to interfere with the present world."
"What is interfering with the present world?" It is estimated that although Liang Xiu knew about the will of Heavenly Officials, this was the first time he heard about interfering with the present world. Relying on his identity, he couldn't help but interject and asked.
Chen Fan looked at Liang Xiu happily. It seemed that it would be good to have someone with status by his side. Such people often spoke without scruples and asked directly what they wanted to ask.
