After a while, Lu Li walked out and said with an embarrassed look on his face, "Sorry, it took a long time."
Chang Tai'an was stunned for a moment, then shook his head: "It doesn't matter, it's the disciple who disturbed the founder Bo Qingxiu."
Lu Li sighed: "To be honest, your title really makes me feel ashamed. Otherwise... you and I should still treat each other as brothers, right?"
Chang Tai'an shook his head and said seriously: "My Tianji lineage is sparsely populated. It is not as complicated as other sects. The inheritance is passed down from top to bottom. The hierarchy of generations is clear and insurmountable. Since the ancestor is worthy of your brother, then I Naturally, those who are disciples cannot go beyond it, otherwise it will be a great treason and a grave crime of deceiving the master and forgetting the ancestors."
After hearing what Chang Taian said, Lu Li waved his hand and said, "That's all, go as you like. You came to me, you must have finished playing a game, right? But do you have any questions to ask me?"
"Uncle Patriarch, follow me."
Chang Taian turned around and walked out of the courtyard.
Lu Li followed Chang Tai'an to the peach tree. He looked at the scattered chess pieces on the chessboard and frowned, but did not speak.
Chang Tai'an pointed at the table and said: "Uncle Patriarch, Bai Zi lost."
"So what?" Lu Li didn't know why.
"This is where the disciple's heart knots."
"When I first lost my first child, I felt like I was a black child."
"But as it rains, I feel like I'm a fool again."
"And when the sunspots started to lose ground, I felt like I was the sunspots again, so I kept making plans on the sunspots."
"Back and forth, often over and over again. In the end, I couldn't tell whether I was white or black. Until the last game was over and white lost, I felt that I was white again..."
Chang Tai'an's eyebrows tightened, and he couldn't suppress the annoyance in his heart.
He remembered that his master asked him to calm down and understand the truth first, and then come back to play chess, but he was worried about the chess game all day long and could not calm down to understand the truth at all.
And every time I want to practice meditation, a voice will sound in my mind: "One more plate, one more plate..."
It annoys him so much.
Hearing this, Lu Li moved his eyes back and forth between the table and Chang Taian several times, frowned and said, "What you mean is that you play chess with yourself. Then, at the end of the game, whether the black stone wins or the white stone wins, it won't matter." You think you lost, right?”
"Exactly." Chang Taian nodded.
"Ha! Did you get into trouble?" Lu Li said with a strange expression.
"Ah? Please give me some advice from my ancestor," Mrs. Chang said hopefully as she settled down.
"Do you still need to give advice? When you play chess with yourself, there is no winning or losing. No matter which side wins or loses, isn't it all based on your own ideas?"
"Since you know how to regard the losing side as yourself, why don't you change your perspective and regard the winning side as yourself? If so, doesn't it mean that the game is a victory?"
"Sometimes, people really shouldn't be too stubborn, otherwise they will only get themselves into endless trouble. Many things, when you look at them from a different angle, maybe everything will suddenly become clearer." Lu Li slowly explained.
"Look at it from another angle, look at it from another angle..." Chang Tai'an murmured to himself. Suddenly, his energy was lifted, and there was a misty air in his whole body, and he quickly sat down on the spot.
Ah, this...?
Lu Li was stunned when he saw this and thought: Isn't this guy's luck too good?
Chang Taian's epiphany lasted for three full days. In the early morning of the third day, he suddenly opened his eyes. At first, he looked surprised, but then he frowned deeply.
Then he stood up and walked out of the courtyard.
Because Lu Li couldn't stand the pressure of Chang Tai'an's breakthrough, he was meditating next to the stream. When he saw Chang Tai'an coming out, he stood up and smiled: "It seems that you have gained a lot."
Chang Tai'an hesitated for a moment, then smiled and bowed: "Thanks to the guidance of my ancestor, my disciple has finally become enlightened and has reached the late stage of Xuanxian. From now on, I will definitely serve as my uncle to repay your great kindness!"
Sure enough!
Lu Li was secretly envious. You must know that the cultivation of Xuanxian is much more difficult than that of real immortals. In just a short time, Chang Tai'an may have overcome tens of thousands of years of hard training.
But he quickly put away his thoughts, shook his head and said, "This is your chance. Even if I don't give you any advice, you will surely become enlightened sooner or later, so you don't need to take it to heart."
"Master once said that every plant and tree on the path of spiritual practice has a certain destiny, either by chance or disaster."
"And after this incident, I can firmly believe that you are the guiding light on my spiritual path."
"From now on, Tai'an will be by your side and at your disposal. In order to repay your kindness, I will also strive for a bright future for my disciples. I hope you will not dislike me, Grandmaster." Chang Tai'an said respectfully.
His meaning was very obvious, that is, whether he was protecting Lu Li or taking advantage of Lu Li, he was prepared to hang out with Lu Li anyway.
Lu Li naturally heard what Chang Taian meant, but he frowned and said:
"With your current cultivation level, you must be able to go to the third heaven. I heard from your master that he has a way to leave, and he will leave soon. Why don't you go up with him? Maybe you will have a better chance. ..”
"Master said, let me stay." Chang Taian took over.
"stay?"
"Well, the ancestor's cultivation has not yet recovered, and the master is worried, so he asked me and my apprentice to stay in case anything happens." Chang Tai'an explained.
"Then you should go find Yuwen Wen?" Lu Li raised his eyebrows.
"My disciple Yuan Zheng is riding beside the Patriarch at the moment. I guess he has no need of me. I heard that Patriarch has no one to help you here. This disciple is willing to be a servant here and solve some of your troubles." Chang Taian was determined to stay.
"As an attendant in the late stage of Xuanxian, am I too proud?"
"Uncle Patriarch is the leader of a sect, and he has the kindness to teach his disciples. The disciples are willing to do so." Chang Tai'an saluted again.
"Okay, since you say so, then you can build a house here to live. If anyone has something urgent, you can inform me. It's best not to disturb me the rest of the time."
"Disciple understands." Chang Tai'an looked happy. After clasping his fists and saluting, he turned and walked towards the jungle. It seemed that he was going to cut wood and build a house.
But the moment he turned around, the smile that was originally on his face disappeared in an instant, and he returned to calmness, as if what happened just now had never happened.
Lu Li stayed for a while, then returned to his room and continued to practice.
With Chang Tai'an's cultivation level, it would not take long to build a simple house. In just three days, a small hut was erected next to Lu Li's courtyard.
There is no door in the middle hall, and there is a small wooden table inside.
The chess cloth on the table was spread out, and he was still playing chess, but he no longer had the entanglement he had before. The speed of the moves was much faster than before, and he could finish a game in a few hours.
At this time, Chang Tai'an stopped continuing.
He frowned, holding a chess piece in his hand, and knocked it on the table carelessly, making a clicking sound.
Then he let out a long sigh, flicked the chess piece back to the chessboard, shook his head and said to himself: "It is indeed easier to change the angle, but the problem is still not solved, what do you think... Uncle Patriarch?"
