Tianyi looked at Tianyuan with a somewhat sad look and said, "Does the leg I broke before still hurt?"
Tianyuan shook his head and said: "It doesn't hurt anymore, it's already healed."
Tianyi was stunned for a moment, but his melancholy face immediately relaxed again.
"Sure enough, I still underestimated that person."
Suddenly Tian Yuan said: "Master, stop it."
Tianyi glanced at Tianyuan and said after a moment: "Tianyuan, do you still remember the ceremony I told you about when you first started?"
Tian Yuan was shocked and already understood what the master was going to say next, but he could only remain silent.
So Tianyi held the white stones and placed three white stones on the chessboard.
Since ancient times, there has been a saying of "three gods and four ghosts", that is, when facing Bodhisattvas, Buddhas, gods, Taoists, heaven and earth, and masters, you should kowtow three times. When performing a funeral for a deceased person, one should kowtow four times
So when Tianyi accepted Tianyuan as his disciple, he explained the conditions for becoming a disciple. Holding a black piece and letting the master have 3 pieces, if you win, you can leave the army.
Tianyi saw the fluctuations of spiritual energy on Tianyuan's body that should not belong to him. After a moment of silence, Tianyi said, "Is it really worth destroying your own future for a woman?"
Murong Xue, who was tied up with iron chains at the moment, also looked up at Tian Yuan leisurely. Not long ago, she and Tian Yi didn't know what they said. At this moment, Murong Xue, who should have been emotional, was silent and silent. He couldn't bear to look at Tianyi and Tianyuan. But at this moment Murong Xue didn't say anything, maybe because she couldn't say anything
I saw Tianyuan holding a sunspot. After closing his eyes for a moment, he opened his eyes. If Tianyuan's eyes might have been a little confused before he came, then at this moment, Tianyuan's heart was no longer confused.
"No regrets, so I'm sorry, Master, I'm not worthy of being your disciple."
But Tianyi was not angry, but smiled and said: "It's your turn."
As he said this, after Tianyuan dropped a sunspot, a strange rhythm spread out from the center of the chessboard. In a strange universe, the sky was divided by 19 criss-crossing lines. And those twinkling stars seem to correspond to the positions on the chessboard, thus forming various fixed patterns and layouts.
According to legend, Go was invented by Emperor Yao. The Pre-Qin Dynasty "Shiben" records: "Yao made Go, and Danzhu was good at it." There is also a record in "Natural History" of the Eastern Jin Dynasty: "Yao made Go to teach his son Danzhu." From this It can be seen that the ancients generally believed that Go was invented by Yao. The earliest use of Go was for divination, and later evolved into a gambling game in the course of history, and gradually spread to various countries around the world. The ancients believed that the various stars in the sky determined the future destiny of people in this world. So maybe this is the reason why Go has been extremely close to the way of heaven since its birth.
It is precisely because of this that no one dares to get involved in the chess world easily, because it is too easy to be noticed by the heaven, and the emperor will not care about it, because the emperor has always been the virtuous and capable person, and the heaven will not stop him. But the way of chess is a cracked product of the way of heaven. Whenever someone steps into the realm of the Dao Ancestor of Chess Dao, he will be noticed by the Heavenly Dao. No matter which successor of the Dao of Heaven, the Emperor of Heaven will kill the Dao Ancestor of Chess Dao. Because there is a possibility that the way of chess can be replaced by the way of heaven.
If the Emperor of Heaven is compared to an emperor, then the Taoist ancestor of Chess is a rebel with the ability to rebel. In this way, you will understand that as an emperor, when faced with those who have the ability to rebel, he will definitely kill them all, or even annihilate the nine tribes. In fact, it is not that he is really rebelling, or has the intention to rebel. But for the emperor, the fact that you have the ability to rebel is your biggest sin. so you must die
Tianyi's lineage is the inheritance of the chess lineage. Except for the founder of the first generation who reached the Taoist state of chess and was killed by the Emperor of Heaven, there has never been a Taoist state since then. It's not that there are no geniuses in later generations, but that they can't. There are geniuses, or in other words, geniuses will not live long enough to reach the Tao Ancestor realm.
Of course, there is another legend. It is said that the original chess Taoist Taoist and the Emperor of Heaven were close friends as brothers, but there was never any such thing as family and friendship between Tao and Tao. So driven by Tao, the two brothers, who were as close as brothers, had to engage in a fighting duel in which only one person could survive. In the end, the Taoist ancestor of chess was willing to die in the hands of the Emperor of Heaven. According to legend, the Taoist of chess defeated the Emperor of Heaven in terms of talent, aptitude, talent, and combat power. However, the Taoist of chess knew that chess itself was not suitable for everything in the world. the supreme and final rule of all things
Just as Ye Feng said at the beginning, the way of chess is close to the way of heaven, but it cannot equal the way of heaven, or even replace the way of heaven. It cannot replace it, otherwise the world will be in chaos. That's because Go is destined to be divided into winners and losers, but all the principles in this world are not as simple as the dualism of right and wrong, good and bad, winning and losing. The way of chess has lost to the way of heaven in terms of top-level design. If the chess master at that time relied on his own ability to successfully replace the heavenly chess master, then the world would be destroyed soon. So in that fighting duel, the chess master was rushing to die at the hands of his best friend. In the end, the Emperor of Heaven had to kill his best friend and only friend with his own hands.
Just when the law of heaven was about to kill them all, the emperor of heaven disobeyed the law of heaven for the first time. In the end, Heaven gave the Tao of chess an eternal curse and punishment: only one person in the world can carry the Tao of chess. This also determines that when the disciple inherits the Tao of chess, the master must die.
And that strange universal space that is different from the general Go space is the chess inheritance ceremony space. In this space, Tianyi and Tianyuan will have a game in which only one person can survive. The minimum requirement to enter this space must be half-step into the Golden Core realm, so that when the chess path is stripped out of one person's body, it can immediately enter another person's body and merge into the Golden Core.
Tianyuan's situation at this moment is a bit special, because he used Ye Feng's top-grade spiritual stone to form a half-step golden elixir, which can only last for one day. After one day, his spiritual power is completely lost and he becomes an empty state without any spirit. A useless person with no fighting ability. If the spiritual roots of heaven are destroyed, how can we set foot on the immortal path again?
In other words, even if Tianyuan wins at this moment and inherits the chess skills, he can only be a useless person who can only play chess for the rest of his life and cannot do other things. By the way, because of the special nature of chess, chess is also the only way that can be inherited with half a step of golden elixir, presenting a state of pseudo-fusion.
Later, Ye Feng commented on this incident and said: Tianyuan just returned to the most primitive state of a monk, that is, the state of a liberal arts man, that is, he is dedicated to quietly seeking the Tao, pursuing the truth at the end of the road, and no longer participating in worldly disputes. At the same time, it is also the attitude of a true seeker who has completely stripped away the greedy desires of the Wuke people. For those ascetics who are full of desires, it is naturally a disaster. But for true seekers, this is the real greatest opportunity.
