"Mr. Zhao Xiaolang, if you help me understand the truth, I will naturally have to reciprocate."
Nangong Chu paused and said, "Please wait a moment, Mr. Zhao Xiaolang."
After saying that, he turned around and walked towards the back room.
After about a cup of tea, Nangong Chu left and returned.
Zhao Xun saw a book in his hand and thought it must be a chess book.
Chess records are the best thing for chess enthusiasts, but Zhao Xun really doesn't have that much interest.
Walking closer, Nangong Chu handed the thing in his hand to Zhao Xun and said with emotion: "This book "The Universe in the Scale" can be regarded as my meeting gift to Mr. Zhao Xiaolang. Since this young man is a practitioner, if he can understand this This book will greatly benefit your cultivation."
What?
Zhao Xun was stunned for a moment.
Not a chess record?
Zhao Xun felt a little incredible.
It turned out to be a book related to spiritual practice... This was beyond Zhao Xun's expectation.
Zhao Xun knew that Dazhou's cultivation system was divided into five categories: Confucianism, Buddhism, Taoism, Martial Arts, and Demonology, but he had never heard that one could become a practitioner by playing chess. Could there be some hidden secret in this?
"Ahem, may I ask how you can improve your cultivation through this chess technique?"
"The things in "The Universe in the Scale" are similar to Taoist Qi nourishing techniques, and they play a supporting role."
Nangong Chu explained: "But the Taoist method of nourishing qi is based on one's own body as a circle, while we chess players take the world into our minds."
Good guy, it sounds very mysterious.
Zhao Xun then said: "Does that mean chess players can also practice?"
"Of course, but Qi Yi Dao is not a mainstream practice system. It can only be regarded as a branch at best. Similar ones include runes, seal carvings, etc."
Zhao Xun suddenly realized at this moment.
It turns out he had been misled all along.
The first person to instill in him the concepts of the five major cultivation systems in the world was Qinglian Taoist Master Wu Quanyi.
Later, Shan Chang, Yuan Tiangang, and Li Chunfeng also strengthened this concept to Zhao Xun invisibly, either intentionally or unintentionally.
In the final analysis, it was because the people Zhao Xun came into contact with were too strong.
Li Chunfeng and Qinglian Taoist Priest Wu Quanyi are second-level powerhouses, and Yuan Tiangang and Shan Zhang are super-level beings.
In the eyes of these powerful people, the most ranked cultivation system in the world is probably the five major categories of Confucianism, Buddhism, Taoism, Martial Arts and Demonology.
As for seal cutting, runes, and chess techniques, they are all of the lowest quality and not worth mentioning.
But these do exist.
Boss, I was wrong!
Zhao Xun just wanted to make a deafening cry at this moment.
"Thank you very much, Mr. Nangong."
Zhao Xun gratefully accepted this book "The Universe in the Scale" to assist in his practice. Zhao Xun's current three cultivations are too complicated and he needs an auxiliary system to get through them. Relying solely on Taoist Qi nourishing techniques may not be enough.
"By the way, Mr. Nangong, since playing chess can help you practice cultivation, what level should you be now?"
"How many ranks? I am a great player, and I can also be said to be half a step short of being a chess master. As for the mention of these ranks, I have never heard of it. Forgive me for being ignorant."
Zhao Xun suddenly realized.
Since mainstream practitioners have not incorporated chess into their practice system, chess players will naturally not use the mainstream nine-grade system to classify their practice levels.
They should have their own system, which is difficult for outsiders to understand clearly.
"May I ask Mr. Nangong, is the chess master the highest level of chess?"
"yes."
Nangong Chu nodded.
hiss.
Zhao Xun took a breath when he heard this.
Unexpectedly, Nangong Chu was so strong that he was close to the level of chess master.
And he had just given birth to a calf that was not afraid of tigers, so he actually forced Nangong Chu to make peace.
This can really last a lifetime!
"It's fate that we get together. It's Zhao's luck to play a game of chess with Mr. Nangong."
Zhao Xun gave Nangong Chu another cross-hand salute.
Eaters are short-tongued and take advantage of others softly.
Nangong Chu even provided Zhao Xun with the secrets of cultivation, but Zhao Xun had nothing to eat.
The three of them chatted for a while, and then the Sixth Senior Brother said goodbye to Zhao Xun and returned to the other courtyard.
After the two of them returned to their rooms, Zhao Xun immediately took out the book "The Universe in the Scale" and started reading it.
Now he has entered the realm of a seventh-grade practitioner, and his strength is astonishing under the three cultivations of Confucianism, Martial Arts, and Taoism.
It can be said that Zhao Xun is almost guaranteed to win against a seventh-grade opponent of the same level.
And when facing someone who is higher than him, Zhao Xun is not completely helpless as long as his level is not different by two levels.
After all, Zhao Xun has the strongest Confucianism cultivator strength, and Confucianism cultivators are the only ones who can leapfrog and win fights.
Coupled with the assistance of martial arts cultivators and Tao cultivators, there is still a chance to defeat Zhao Xun, a fifth- and sixth-grade practitioner.
But against a fourth-grade practitioner, even if Zhao Xun transformed into three heads and six arms, he had no chance of winning.
The disparity in strength between the two sides is too great and cannot be made up by more talents.
But Zhao Xun still wanted to learn something from "The Universe in the Scale".
The so-called skills are too many to overwhelm the body.
Zhao Xun understands this sentence deeply. Since he has benefited from it, there is no reason not to continue to persist.
It seems that being a slash young man in the Great Zhou Dynasty also has a bright future.
Zhao Xun opened "The Universe in the Scale" and turned to the first page.
This entire page contains a chessboard.
There are no chess pieces on the chessboard, and there is no extra text on the entire page.
Zhao Xun was completely stupid.
What does it mean?
A wordless heavenly book?
By enlightenment?
Just when he was confused, "The Universe in the Scale" suddenly emitted bright golden light, sucking Zhao Xun into the book.
...
...
Yes, Zhao Xun was convinced that he was sucked into the book.
To be more precise, he was sucked into the chessboard in the book!
At this moment, he somewhat understood the meaning of the title.
"The Universe in the Balance"! It means that there is something else inside the chessboard!
Zhao Xun looked around and found that he was in an extremely beautiful valley.
Green mountains, green waters and beautiful scenery.
The environment is very pleasant.
Zhao Xun walked along the stream in the river valley, and after walking a few hundred steps, he found an old man sitting by the stream fishing.
Just as Zhao Xun was about to step forward, the old man turned his head sharply, and Zhao Xun was really startled.
Oh my god, does this guy have eyes in the back of his head?
"Where are you from?"
"Me? I come from the world outside the chessboard."
Zhao Xun told the truth.
"Why come here?"
"For enlightenment."
Zhao Xun gave a very standard and official answer.
"What is the Tao?"
"Road to Road, very Avenue."
When it comes to playing forward, there is no one better than Zhao Xun in this world. He still has this bit of confidence.
As expected, the old man fell silent.
After a long time, he spoke again: "The world in this chessboard is a projection of the world outside the chessboard. You can do anything you can do in the world outside the chessboard. But one thing you have to remember is that one year on the chessboard is equal to the world outside the chessboard. one day."
Damn it!
One year inside the chessboard equals one day outside the chessboard?
This time ratio is too ridiculous.
If Zhao Xun could make good use of this, wouldn't he have mastered the time code?
Wait, if that's the case, why did Nangong Chu give this book to him?
Or is it that Nangong Chu has never entered this chessboard world at all and does not know that there is something else in it?
