This girl with outstanding martial arts skills was invited by Master Kurong? Does she really know that Master lives here, or is she deliberately testing him?
Su Xinghe secretly thought that Master had indeed mentioned Master Ku Rong of Tianlong Temple over the years, and he might have had a close friendship with him.
But I haven't heard the news about Ku Rong in Jianghu for decades. I really can't tell whether what the other party said is true or false.
But having said that, even if Ding Chunqiu's martial arts had a breakthrough, he was obviously no match for her, and the possibility of being related to the Xingxiu Sect was basically ruled out.
If he could gain her friendship and beg her to help, it wouldn't be a big deal if the master's great hatred would be avenged.
Thinking of this, Su Xinghe reached out and took a name card handed over by Batianshi, looked at it carefully, and confirmed the mark of the Dali Duan family on it and the identity of the two people.
"I already know the purpose of your visit. If you want to visit Master, please come with me." He raised his head, cleared his throat, and said. Since he had not spoken for thirty years, his voice was a little muddy for a while. debate.
Zhao Qing nodded, but did not start immediately. Instead, he looked at the situation on the bluestone chessboard and said calmly: "Don't worry, Mr. Congbian, tell me, in this game of chess, you have studied What types of changes have been made?”
Along the way, while she was studying the Kurong Zen Kung Fu, the condensation of Yin Shen gradually came to an end, and she also gained some deeper understanding of the realm of interaction between heaven and man.
Somewhere in the dark, Zhao Qing had a strange premonition and realized that it was extremely difficult to reach the realm of unity between man and nature and reach the ultimate level of Yin Wuji just by practicing hard and cultivating the inner strength of Qi.
"Things will be reversed when they are extreme, and they will change when the way is limited." The way of heaven and the way of man are not immutable things.
If you want to have a profound understanding of this, you need to understand "change" and seek "change" in order to find relevant opportunities and break the barriers blocking the way ahead.
As for the way of change, we have to mention the all-encompassing "Yi".
"Easy is called "Easy", which is called "Easy" changes again and again. Everything is changing all the time, but those regular things never change.
It is easy to have no thought, no action, silence and motionlessness, and the feeling can then connect to the world. It is not the supreme god in the world, and its familiarity can be compared with this. "
The Book of Changes itself does not think or act. It is silent and motionless, but it can access everything in the world through the changes of yin and yang.
"I learned swordsmanship at the age of ten, Yiyi at the age of fifteen, and mastered it at the age of thirty, gaining a glimpse of the way of heaven and man. There is no one in the universe who can compete with me."
The supreme master Ling Donglai in "Shattered Void" undoubtedly understood the true meaning of Yin and Yang Wuji from "Yi" and achieved the amazing achievement of breaking the void alone.
In a certain way, Go is equivalent to the model of "Yi" that explains the principles of heaven and earth.
"Book of Changes" believes that "Yin" and "Yang" are both opposite and unified, both opposite and complementary, and derive a complex and orderly world from their interaction. It is the so-called Tai Chi that creates two rituals, and two rituals that create four phenomena. The Four Symbols give rise to the Eight Diagrams, which are endless and endless.
Go uses black and white chess pieces as the basic elements and square and circle as the basic shapes. On the small chessboard with 19 vertical and horizontal paths, they coexist and depend on each other.
Just like the way of "yin and yang" derives from all things, it contains infinite possibilities and has evolved into countless complex chess positions, so that "there is the order of the distribution of stars, and there are opportunities for changes in wind and thunder."
Ban Gu of the Eastern Han Dynasty once wrote in "Yi Zhi": "The parallel arrangement of the cloth is also effective in astronomy."
The "Thirteen Chapters of the Book of Chess" of the Song Dynasty also said: "The number of all things starts from one. The path of the game is one in three hundred and sixty. One is the master of numbers, and he moves in all directions according to his extreme. Three hundred Sixty, to resemble the number of Zhou Tian.
Divide it into four to represent the four seasons. There are ninety roads in each corner to resemble the sun. There are seven or two roads on the outer circumference to symbolize the wait. There are three hundred and sixty pieces of dry chess, half white and half black, based on the yin and yang. The line of the game is called Ping. The line between the lines is called a bamboo basket.
The game is square but still, while the chess is round but moving. From ancient times to the present, no player is in the same game. "
In his previous life, Zhao Qing was not very interested in Go. After al was born and swept the chess world, he no longer cared about it.
Speaking of which, the 01 in al's code can also be regarded as a kind of yin and yang, which is closer to the essence of yin and yang than humans under normal circumstances.
However, after reaching the current state of practice, she suddenly realized that Go had something in common with Yi and Tiandao, and gradually developed related interests. She took the idea of yin and yang evolution as the main theme, "advancing with the times", and researched Played the ancient game of seat Go.
Of course, Zhao Qing's research on Go does not focus on the competitive aspects of chess, but on the yin and yang ideas contained in the changes in chess positions.
Logically speaking, the more profound and mysterious the chess position is, the more valuable it is due to the yin and yang changes it contains.
For example, from the rare "Zhenlong Chess Game" in the world, you can try to derive several profound moves and even a small set of advanced internal skills based on the complex changes in the chess position and the principle of alternation of yin and yang.
In her current state, she can know whether the move can be applied in reality just by thinking about it in her mind. Once she performs it, it will be an impeccable trick. Just like a master of painting, as long as it is a imaginable object-shaped portrait, she can create it with charm. Picture it vividly.
Similarly, it is not difficult to switch to most advanced internal skills.
Seeing that Zhao Qing, who has such amazing martial arts skills, is also a chess player, Su Xinghe happily explained beside him:
"This Zhenlong chess game was created with three years of hard work by my master. I deeply hope that the knowledgeable people in the world of chess can solve it. I have studied hard for the next thirty years, but I have not been able to understand it thoroughly."
Before he finished speaking, he had already picked up a chess piece, placed it on the chessboard, and began to describe the results of his understanding of the changes in this game over the past thirty years.
From Su Xinghe's point of view, as a fellow-minded person, if he explained it with all his heart, he would probably be able to increase Zhao Qing's favor. If he then made a request to remove Ding Chunqiu, the possibility of the other party agreeing would also increase a lot.
As for the "seat and return the head" game of seat Go, Zhao Qing has a profound level of spiritual practice. Under the reflection of the spiritual connection between heaven and man, although he only studied on his own for just ten days, his chess skills have increased by leaps and bounds.
However, compared with Su Xinghe, who is extremely talented and has studied hard for decades, there is still some gap, so it is necessary to listen to the other party's explanation to help clarify his ideas.
On the side, Ba Tianshi watched the two men studying the chess game, and thought to himself: Although Mr. Congbian's martial arts is high, his serious practice has been delayed by these miscellaneous knowledge, so no wonder he does not have the ability to take revenge on Ding Chunqiu;
Miss Zhao Qing's talent and qualifications are naturally far superior to his, but if she is also addicted to chess, there is no guarantee that she will not be affected.
With his eyesight, he couldn't tell that Zhao Qing's attitude towards chess was just to use it as a tool to deduce the changes of yin and yang and the way of heaven.

…
After listening to Su Xinghe's explanation for a while, Zhao Qing nodded secretly in his heart, somewhat admiring Wu Yazi's achievements in this area, and suddenly a thought came to his mind:
Xiaoyaozi taught Wuyazi all kinds of knowledge, so that he could "know and master all of them, such as music, chess, calligraphy and painting, medicine, divination and astrology, miscellaneous arts and crafts, and trade and planting." Could it be that he wanted him to pass " Studying the "way of man" and peering upward into the profoundness of "the way of heaven"?
Stopping Su Xinghe's continued analysis, Zhao Qing casually slapped the big bluestone, using extremely subtle internal force to move the chess pieces to other positions on the chessboard, returning the situation to its original state, and took it out of the chess box. After passing a white piece, the game with Su Xinghe began.
Due to the reference of Xu Zhu's "self-improvement and breaking the situation of co-existence" in the original work, after thinking for a period of time, she had already realized the general method to crack Zhenlong's chess game.
The two parties quickly settled down, and when Zhao Qing committed suicide, Su Xinghe was shocked and suppressed his emotions and walked on. After a while, he discovered the secret and couldn't help but cheer.
"This focus is not on life and death, let alone victory or defeat. Instead, it explores life and death and achieves liberation..."
Zhao Qing silently deduced the yin and yang changes corresponding to the chess position in his mind. Hearing these words, he suddenly felt enlightened.
How does this change of "break and then establish, first die and then live" fit so well with the gist of the Kurong Chan Kung Fu?
Vaguely, she also had a deeper understanding of the principle in "Five Symbols Yin and Yang Transform into Gods" that "all transformations of all things are in response to each other, and all changes are in coupling".
By grasping and comparing the changes in yin and yang on the chessboard, her internal energy of dry Zen that was originally stored in her acupoints also slowly changed, and she gradually began to alternate between life and death.
Quietly, Zhao Qing has realized the key to the transformation of vitality through the Ku Rong Zen Technique. Although he has not formally practiced it, his attainments in this technique have surpassed Ku Rong who has been practicing Ku Rong Zen for more than thirty years. , and has initially entered the highest realm of "neither dry nor prosperous, both dry and prosperous".
By the time she played the last white chess piece, Su Xinghe was already smiling. He stood up and thanked her, saying, "Miss Zhao is a peerless talent and has successfully solved this Zhenlong. I am extremely grateful."
Although he knew that with Zhao Qing's peerless martial arts, it was impossible for him to worship Wu Yazi and become his master's closed disciple, Su Xinghe had been thinking about this situation for decades and studied it to the point of painstaking efforts. The solution is really a huge kindness.
Thinking of this, Su Xinghe bowed to Zhao Qing twice more, walked towards the wooden house on the side, stepped on an inconspicuous stone in the grass, opened the seemingly sealed door, and turned towards the hand. , signaling Zhao Qing to go ahead.
Batianshi knew that Wu Yazi lived in the wooden house. He was shrewd in dealing with things and knew that the other party was probably unwilling to let him get involved, so he stepped back ten feet and waited outside.
…
Then he used a mechanism to open a wooden wall, and inside was an empty room. There was an old man with a black rope tied to his body. The other end of the rope was connected to the beam, hanging him in the air.
Because the wall behind him is dark in color, and the rope is also black. The two blacks are stacked on top of each other, so the rope cannot be seen. At a glance, it looks like he is sitting in the sky.
I saw that man's black beard was three feet long, not a single gray streak, his face was like a crown of jade, and he didn't have a single wrinkle. He looked quite old, but he was still energetic and elegant. He was none other than the contemporary leader of the Xiaoyao Sect, Su Xinghe. , Ding Chunqiu’s master, Wu Yazi.
"Master, this girl is a friend of Master Kurong. She just cracked the Zhenlong chess game and wants to meet you, Master."
Su Xinghe was worried that Wu Yazi would misunderstand that he wanted to accept Zhao Qing as his disciple, which would cause conflicts, so he quickly added: "And her martial arts skills may be far higher than those of the two masters and uncles."
The reason why he used the analogy of Li Qiu Shui and Tianshan Tong Lao, whom he had not seen for decades, was naturally because he could not speak directly for fear of belittling Wu Yazi, who was already disabled.
"Master Kurong's friend?" Hearing that Zhenlong's chess game had been broken, Wu Yazi looked surprised, looked at Zhao Qing, and asked, "This little friend, how is Master Kurong's current situation?"
For thirty years, he has been concentrating almost all the time on running his internal energy to prevent the dissipation of vitality in his body, so he has not noticed what is happening in the outside world.
"He has been practicing Zen Zen in Shuangshu Yuan for more than thirty years, and his skills have reached an advanced level..." Zhao Qing briefly mentioned Kurong's situation, and took the initiative to describe the sequence of moves she made to crack the Zhenlong chess game, claiming that she had never The key step was realized in "Ku Chan".
After listening to this, Wu Yazi pondered for a long time and sighed: "The Buddhist concept of 'impermanence' means 'change and immutability', which is quite similar to Go. I set up this game of 'Zhenlong' back then. ’, there was originally a part of the inspiration of prosperity.”
"I didn't expect that the way to crack the chess game today is exactly in line with the idea of 'Ku Rong'. It can be said that 'a drink and a peck are all predetermined'."
It turns out that Ku Rong Wu Yazi is a pair of chess friends? Zhao Qing secretly thought in his heart that all the chess players of the Duan family in Dali were very good. Duan Yanqing and Duan Yu were both rare masters. It was quite reasonable that Ku Rong's chess skills were even higher.
Wu Yazi changed the subject and asked: "I wonder, little friend, how my disciple Ding Chunqiu plotted against me to make me hide in this dark place and survive for thirty years?"
Then, he briefly told the story of Ding Chunqiu's betrayal and sneak attack on him.
"Xinghe's qualifications are quite good originally, but it's a pity that he led me astray. He was too distracted to learn music, chess, calligraphy, painting and other things that were too much for him. He couldn't learn my superior martial arts. , completely incapable of killing Ding Chunqiu."
He couldn't help but sigh as he recalled the disasters in the past.
So, Wu Yazi didn’t realize the connection and balance between “the way of man” and “the way of heaven”?
Zhao Qing was deep in thought. In her induction, she found that the opponent's internal strength was quite deep and his aura was long, reaching a level close to the ninth level of Ming Yu Gong.
As for the specific location of the injury, there are some guesses, and further inspections are needed to be completely sure.
In her opinion, if Wu Yazi had not encountered various disasters along the way and had not been overly obsessed with miscellaneous studies, perhaps today, he would have had some chance of success in reaching the realm of "sympathy between heaven and man".
Vaguely, Zhao Qingsheng had an idea and asked: "I wonder what kind of trauma the senior suffered when he was attacked by Ding Chunqiu? Is there any possibility of treatment?"
