Dao Fruit

When the chessboard flew like this, not only Takamatsu noticed, but the eyes of other people were invariably attracted by the flying and spinning cloth.

However, something strange arose in the minds of the Confucian scholars. The lines of sight were rotated and taken in, with a sense of indistinguishability, as if their minds were being pulled by a whirlpool.

Immediately afterwards, thoughts were like shadows, and little rays of light shone brightly inside the chessboard, like starlight, rotating with the chessboard, giving people the feeling of stars moving around. Then, there was actually a fiery sun sticking out from the end of the chessboard, as if rising from the horizon, surrounding it. , fell again, and behind, there was another bright moon rising out of the sea.

Immediately afterwards, everyone's minds were filled with vitality, there was a heat wave, there was a refreshing breeze, there was severe cold, spring, summer, autumn and winter passed by in a flash, and wind and rain came, nourishing all things.

"What's going on?"

Seeing all the changes on the chessboard, Takamatsu's expression suddenly changed. However, after being shocked, he came back to his senses and looked again, only to miss.

"Huh?"

After this glance, there is a chessboard spinning somewhere in the sky?

Turning his eyes, he dropped his gaze to the table, only to find that the chessboard was placed just right on it, with no trace of it flying up?

"Is it an illusion?" The thought started again, and Gao Song had some guesses. However, before the thought lasted long, he heard a famous scholar behind him take a long breath, and comments started to come and go -

"Just now I saw the stars changing."

"Did you see it too? I seem to feel the change of seasons."

"There are still sun and moon passing by..."

…

This sound reached Takamatsu's ears, and his heartstrings immediately tightened.

If you just live by yourself and have a misunderstanding. That's okay, but listening to these conversations, it's clear that many Confucian scholars have similar experiences. This cannot be a coincidence, but a necessity.

"Could it be..."

After thinking about it, Gao Song focused his attention on Qiu Yan at the table. Qiu Yan was sitting upright at the moment, with the pen in his hand put down. He was silent, waiting for the ink on the chessboard to dry up.

See him like this. Gao Song recalled slightly, and a memory popped up in his mind——

That was the scene where Qiu Yan stopped painting and waited after he finished drawing the chessboard.

"It seems that Qiu Yan did not do anything. The chessboard also flew up. How did the previous hallucinations come about? Why did I see the same scene as everyone else?"

For a while. His heart skipped a beat. Feeling suspicious -

"This Qiu Yan may have used the magic of ghosts and gods. If this is true, then as long as it is publicized, he can be isolated immediately!"

The most holy master once said that the son should not talk about strange powers and confuse the gods, but should respect ghosts and gods and keep away from them. This has long been an unspoken rule among Confucian and Taoist scholars. It is natural to do some things in private. But if it is put on the table, someone will expose it. Then you have to bear the price.

However, when Gao Song was thinking about this, he heard a whisper in his ears. He listened attentively and realized that it was Qiu Yan who was reciting in a low voice——

"The stars are spinning, the sun and the moon are shining, the four eras are in control, the yin and yang are great, the wind and rain are blessing..."

The sound was very low, and it was difficult to hear it clearly unless you listened carefully. But now that it entered Takamatsu's ears, it shocked his heart.

This sentence is a sentence in Sun Sheng's "Tian Lun". It describes all things in the world. Gao Song listened to his ears and thought about it. After thinking about it carefully, he finally realized what he had just seen on the chessboard. , isn’t it what is described in the Theory of Heaven?

"Could it be that the scene just now was not an illusion, but what was in Qiu Yan's mind when he wrote, which solidified in the ink along the tip of the pen, and then rose up and infected everyone's thoughts?"

Looking at Qiu Yan's calm expression, staring at the penholder placed aside, and feeling the charm revealed in the ink on the chessboard, Gao Song finally opened his mind.

"The illusion just now was created by the charm of his pen?"

Thinking of this, Gao Song's view of Qiu Yan changed again, from being annoyed at first, to being wary, to now, after realizing that Qiu Yan had integrated his understanding of "Tian Lun" into his writing, causing the viewer to have misconceptions. Only then did he know that the situation was not good.

But it’s hard to get off the tiger.

Next to them, someone brought two boxes of chess pieces and placed them on the table.

Seeing this, Gao Song took a deep breath, put aside distracting thoughts, and walked to sit opposite Qiu Yan.

When the Confucian scholar who brought the chess pieces saw it, he stepped forward and said, "Please guess first."

Qiu Yan waved his hand and said "please". Gao Song was not polite and grabbed a handful of white stones from the box. Qiu Yan also raised his hand and grabbed two black stones.

This is guessing. One person grabs a handful of white stones, and the other person takes one or two black stones. Based on this guess, one is an odd number, and two is an even number.

The two sides were in a pair, and Gao Song had five white stones in his hand. Surprisingly, Qiu Yan guessed wrong, so he lost the first move, and Gao Song took the black one.

In fact, with Qiu Yan's perception, even if he doesn't use his eyes to see, he can still distinguish odd and even by just listening and sensing contact. However, the reason why Gao Song was allowed to go first was because he deliberately created it.

Snap!

Takamatsu's chess piece fell on the board, separated by a layer of cloth, and collided with the table, making a crisp sound.

"Um?"

As the chess pieces fell, his heart suddenly moved. The chessboard in his field of vision suddenly became distorted, with horizontal and vertical lines floating and changing, releasing a surge of vitality and a little artistic conception, stimulating his heart!

A trace of the sage's breath silently hit Gao Song's body and penetrated into his body.

The next moment, his entire body of energy was swirling in his body, falling into the chess piece along his arms and fingertips!

Then, a little bit of the sage spirit hidden in his heart was released-

The ancient kings hated the chaos, so they made rituals and righteousness to divide it, to nourish people's desires, to give people what they want, so that desires will not be exhausted by things, and things will not be succumbed to desires...

"What Gao Song has learned is indeed the way of etiquette!"

Feeling the changes in the spirit of the person opposite him, Qiu Yan narrowed his eyes and sank his mind into the chessboard, his thoughts and the horizontal and vertical lines were combined, and then his perception came to an empty world, full of mountains and rivers, with the sun, moon and stars. There are four seasons, and you can't see the end at a glance.

There is a person standing on this land. Who else is it if not Gao Song?

However, this person is not a real person, but a bit of condensed thoughts. If you look down from a high place, you can even see that the whole land is crisscrossed, and there seems to be a chessboard hidden under the soil. It is huge and connected in all directions.

The figure condensed by the thoughts is emitting a spirit of etiquette. Spreading and radiating around.

In fact, when Qiu Yan saw Gao Song for the first time, the spirit of Sun Sheng in his soul was touched, and he caught a similar breath from the other party. He had a guess. He realized that what Gao Song learned must be the way of Sun Sheng, and it involved the spirit of sages, and was related to the manuscript of sages in the rumored Chongli Academy.

Now, this guess has finally been confirmed.

"This manuscript of Sun Sheng obtained by Chongli Academy is very likely an article of "Li Lun". This article is not among the nine articles in my soul, so it is just right to learn from it. Learn by analogy!"

The sentence that Qiu Yan left behind when he failed to ask for advice before. Part of it is a section of Li Lun, just like an introduction, which stays in Gao Song's heart and draws out the words of the classics in his memory, so when he makes a move at this time, what is condensed in it is this part of the content.

Thinking about it, Qiu Yan's feelings about the rituals in Sun Sheng's way are also transmitted to the chess pieces and integrated into the empty world.

This world is not real, but is created through the charm of the pen and the combination of qi and blood. It seems mysterious, but in fact it is just a conscious world constructed in the subconscious by using the chessboard and chess pieces to guide the consciousness of the chess player, so as to facilitate Qiu Yan's exploration and make the chess game concrete.

This is also the reason why Qiu Yan set up the chess game. Sometimes, talking about chess is more direct than asking for advice directly with words. It is to express the heart with chess and to confront with thoughts.

Snap!

Qiu Yan put down his chess piece, and a feeling was released in his heart, which was integrated into the chessboard and spread.

Suddenly, the world of thoughts in the subconscious of the two people changed immediately. On the opposite side of Gao Song, Qiu Yan's figure emerged and the two confronted each other.

This scene seems mysterious, but in Gao Song's mind, it is just two chess pieces on the chessboard, which are involved with each other and vaguely arranged.

However, at the moment of dropping the chess just now, the spirit and spirit were surging, and the feeling in his heart flowed out, which made him understand a little and guessed Qiu Yan's purpose.

So, he looked up at Qiu Yan, with a complicated expression.

"This Qiu Yan, speaking arrogantly, is really for the sake of asking for advice, this thought..."

Thinking about it, he hesitated for a moment, feeling the flow of thoughts in his heart.

"But, it is not worth it to open up like this, and let the other party know about the sages with every chess piece dropped."

Since he knew the other party's purpose and felt the extraordinary chessboard, Gao Song had only two choices, give up or continue.

If he gave up, no matter what the reason was, he would inevitably be said to be afraid of fighting. If it was spread out, his reputation would naturally be damaged;

But if he continued, Gao Song's understanding of the way of Sun Sheng would undoubtedly be passed on with each chess piece, which would undoubtedly make him, who had studied hard until now, feel hesitant.

For a while, he was in a dilemma.

At this moment, as Qiu Yan's chess piece fell on the board, the entire chessboard changed again. Gao Song's hands felt hot, and he felt a light warm current flowing into his heart along the chess piece. He immediately had many more insights in his heart, which were also the way of Sun Sheng, but more pure, broader and more comprehensive than those he had comprehended!

The insights he showed were certainly obtained over many years, but the feedback from Qiu Yan was not inferior at all, and even better!

"What exactly is Qiu Yan planning? He actually released his insights. Is it really like he said that he came here to verify what he learned? Although there are exchanges between various schools, most of them are debates, which are used to become famous, establish prestige, and finally spread their ideas. Is this Qiu Yan's plan? But he has not been enrolled in any academy, whose ideas are he spreading?"

In doubt, Gao Song dropped the second chess piece on the board. (To be continued. Please search Piaotian Literature. Novels are better and updated faster!
