I was totally focused on the chess game on the table and didn't even move. I didn't even seem to hear Su Junheng's footsteps. "Is the old man playing chess?" Su Junheng said hello to the old man, sat on a stone chair, wiped the sweat from his forehead and said, "I am also studying Go, how about playing a game?" He called out several times. , but no one agreed. Su Junheng was confused and couldn't help but take a closer look, only to find that the old man was actually a stone statue. It was written by an unknown artist. The lines were clear and smooth, and the carving was meticulous. The entire stone statue was connected to the spine of the stone chair. It is completed in one go, the workmanship is perfect, and it is so lifelike that people can't help but marvel! Su Junheng secretly cursed himself for being stupid for not being able to distinguish between a real person and a stone statue. He carefully observed the chess game on the table. The chess game was not empty. At this time, both the black and white chess pieces had been settled. It was obviously an end game, and both ends of the chess board Each is engraved with a line of small characters. ¡®The chessboard is made up of the earth and the sky, and the colors are created according to the yin and yang. Under the light of heaven, the virtues of the earth will bloom, and all things will bloom if you pursue benevolence and righteousness! ' It looked like a couplet, but the battle was not neat. Su Junheng didn't pay much attention to it. He had a lot of experience in Go. Seeing that there was something extraordinary everywhere, he thought that this chess game must be an exquisite game, and he immediately became interested. , Xinhou grabbed a chess piece from the stone table next to him, looked at it carefully for a while, and immediately exclaimed: "Okay! What a wonderful chess game!" What he saw in front of him was beyond Su Junheng's imagination. The trajectory of the two black and white pieces was abnormal. Gao Miao, Bai Zi's momentum is erratic, as quiet as a constellation of stars, and the clouds meet in the middle area. The kinetic energy finds its way and rises, encircling and promoting the formation. ??And the black stones advance and retreat in an orderly manner, attacking each other with the white stones, facing each other across the road, and it is difficult to distinguish the winner for a while. The chess game rarely presents a situation where the two fights coexist! "This how is this possible!!" Su Junheng looked at this exquisite chess game in shock. He saw the white piece looming like a dragon, moving in Xichuan, walking on Yu's back, while the black piece clearly could not grasp its context, and in his hand The chess piece was in his hand, just like the stone statue. He didn't know where to place it, and for a moment he broke out in a cold sweat. "There are 181 black stones and 180 white stones. It is a natural number. How can there be a draw?" Su Junheng became more and more shocked as he looked at it. With his attainments in Go, he had rarely encountered an opponent in Yuzhou City. Naturally, he knew that Go had always been a matter of life and death. In a game, unless one side gives way, due to the inconsistency, it is possible for both sides to have equal numbers, leading to a draw. However, now that the number of black and white twins is hostile, the situation is a situation of two fighting symbiotically. This is simply It's incredible! "That's not right!" Su Junheng suddenly exclaimed. He seemed to have caught something in his consciousness. He couldn't hold the chess piece in his hand and fell to the ground. His eyes turned to the square of the main hall, and his eyes were suddenly full of horror. At this time, from a high position, the movement trajectory of the black and white copper tripod in the main hall is clearly visible, and it actually vaguely matches the black and white twins on the chessboard. "There are a total of 324 floor tiles and 352 incense burners in the main hall square. They are divided into black and white and are arranged according to the trajectory of the stars. It refers to the movement of yin and yang and the transformation of all things. This is where the name of the Xingluo incense burner comes from!" Su Junheng thought After hearing what Taoist Yun Ru said earlier, but not sure of his own inference, he stretched out his fingers and counted on the chessboard. There were still nine chess positions that had not been settled. He muttered silently: "The chessboard has a total of 324 grids. , 361 intersection points, and the chess pieces are placed on the intersection points during the game, so the total number of chess pieces is 361, and Master Yunru said that there are only 352 incense burners in the main hall, which happens to be nine incense burners missing! The layout of Luo Xianglu is indeed arranged according to this chess game. What is the mystery in it? " Su Junheng confirmed his guess and began to observe the chess game again. Soon, he found the vacant chess position on the chess board. It is very strange. Except for a vacancy in the middle, the rest appear on the edge of the chess piece. They are divided into nine directions: east, south, west, north, southeast, northeast, southwest, northwest, and the middle palace. It clearly presents a The astrological pattern of the Nine Houses! Su Junheng was shocked in his heart. This chess game couldn't help but be wonderful, and it even vaguely incorporated the essence of celestial phenomena, formations, etc. With the middle palace as the center, the black and white twins were settled, and there were three hexagrams in the other eight directions. The upper one symbolized the sky, and the lower one symbolized the sky. The painting symbolizes place, and the middle painting symbolizes people. It seems to form a Bagua pattern. "This~~" Su Junheng's eyes were full of horror when he looked at the chess game. His stiff body trembled slightly and he said in shock: "This~ this is~ the formation of the three talents of heaven, earth and man!!!" Chi! Chi! Chi! Before a exclamation could be heard, a strange sound seemed to be heard in the void. Immediately, the entire pavilion began to vibrate, and the scene in front of him began to twist and deform, turning into a huge whirlpool. There was a bang, like a river pouring in, and everything Thousands of stars intertwined and transformed, and countless talismans and seals were frightened by the golden light, rushing into Su Junheng's sea of ??consciousness. Su Junheng¡¯s mind was shocked, but he couldn¡¯t scream. He only felt that the world around him was falling into chaos, and the world was spinning endlessly. When he opened his eyes again, the scenery in front of him suddenly changed! "This!! What place is this?" Su Junheng suddenly opened his eyes, and found himself standing in an ethereal space. The world in front of him was empty and empty, and there were flowing clouds under his feet. As if standing in a vast universe with no edge in sight, Su Junheng looked around blankly, feeling strong uneasiness in his heart. "Eh!!" Before the shock was over, Su Junheng seemed to have caught something in his mind. He looked down at him in astonishment and exclaimed: "What's going on? Can my feet~can I stand?" "Hidden in the wind and clouds" With a clean heart, who are the saints and sages of ancient and modern times? A smile spreads across the river, and a sword hangs across the river. A dragon lies deep in the nine heavens. " Before I could understand the confusion, I suddenly heard a clear poem from outside, and the sound sounded like it had the power to ward off the wind. When I landed, I suddenly saw a gentle breeze rising, and the overwhelming white mist suddenly rolled away. In front of you, a quiet path appeared. At the end of the path was a simple pavilion. In the pavilion, an old man with white hair and beard was sitting. There was a chessboard in front of him, as if he was waiting for a game. Su Junheng's heart was shocked. A familiar feeling mixed with a trace of shock surged up to his Adam's apple. His eyes were fixed in the air in astonishment. The old man's expression and makeup were exactly the same as those of the stone statues hanging in the chess tower. Could it be that the stone statue was resurrected? Su Junheng frowned, thinking that there were such absurd and strange things in this world. Although the distance was only a short distance, he still hesitated for a moment before walking forward. A strange feeling arose in his heart, which made him Some trembled. "Young Master, don't be afraid. Now that you're here, how about playing chess with me?" With a melodious tone, the old man had an air of immortality and an extraordinary bearing. He stretched out his hand to signal Su Junheng to sit down. When Su Junheng heard the other party's words, he immediately calmed down. This is the holy land of Jingming Peak Taoist Sect. Su Junheng naturally wouldn't think that there would be monsters and monsters daring to act recklessly in front of the True Lord's Palace, so he sat down and said: "Su Junheng, who was born late in Yuzhou City, may I ask? "Old man, where is this place?" "This is the realm of consciousness!" The old man smiled with his beard, and his manner exuded a peaceful and upright aura, which made people feel awe! Su Junheng frowned and said: "I have always heard that the six realms of reincarnation include the hell realm, the hungry ghost realm, the animal realm, the Shura realm, the human realm and the heavenly realm, but I don't know what the realm of consciousness refers to?" When the old man heard this, he stroked his long beard. , pointed at the two of them and said: "Your current form is just a belief born in the main body, and I am also a belief born, sealed in the chessboard, just to wait for a virtuous person to solve it. Start this ancient puzzle!" "A virtuous person?" Su Junheng was surprised. This old man had an extraordinary manner and an unfathomable manner. He was confused for a moment and asked: "Is it possible that you are referring to me?" The old man nodded, stretched out his hand to touch the chessboard and said: "'The chessboard is the earth and the sky, and the colors are created according to the yin and yang. The heavenly light comes down to the earth, and the virtues are there, and the benevolence and righteousness are followed. ! ', the 28 seal characters on the chessboard have already explained the mystery of this puzzle. Didn't the young master understand the deep meaning? "Su Junheng looked down and found that the chess game was exactly the same as the one on the chess table. The two lines of seal characters engraved on the edge of the chessboard were no different. He lowered his head and pondered for a while, and seemed to have an idea in his mind. He said: "This chess game contains the laws of change of heaven and earth. The chess pieces are the sky, representing the highest yang and the highest strength, and the chessboard is the earth. The two colors of black and white represent yin and yang, which are transformed on the chessboard. The scripture says: yin and yang are the way of heaven and earth, and the order of all things. From this, it can be seen that everything in the world changes and changes. In this game of chess!¡± ¡°Hahaha!¡± The old man clapped his hands and laughed, admiring: ¡°Young Master is so talented that he can understand the destiny of the world from a game of chess. It¡¯s really admirable, but you are only right about the first part. "Two sentences, how do you explain the next two sentences?" "When the sky comes down, virtue will come to the earth, and all things will be opened up if you pursue benevolence and righteousness!" Su Junheng recited it silently, thinking to himself, this "the sky comes down to the earth's virtue" comes from the Kanyu Bible. , as the saying goes, 'where heaven comes, earth feels, heaven and earth intersect, and all things come into being'. The meaning in the words is vaguely consistent with the opening of all things in the second half of the sentence. The key should be the four words of pursuing benevolence and righteousness. I wonder what the deep meaning is? Su Junheng thought for a while, and an uncertain look suddenly flashed in his eyes, as if shocked, as if doubtful, and he said: "The Confucian Book of Changes says: The way to establish the sky is yin and yang, the way to establish the earth is soft and hard, and the way to establish people is Daoren and righteousness are two of the three talents, so the six paintings of Yi Yi are used to form the hexagram. Nowadays, this chess game uses the chess pieces as the sky and the chessboard as the earth. The three talents of heaven, earth and man gather in two. The only thing missing is talents. Could it be that there is something deep in it?So, only a gentleman with both benevolence and righteousness can control the two sons of Yin and Yang and control the creation of heaven and earth? " "Wonderful! Excellent! The old man stroked his palms repeatedly, with surprise in his eyes, and waved his hands and said: "Only the benevolent and righteous people are worthy of making moves in this game of chess. Since you have understood the wonderful truth, why don't you work with me to uncover this ancient mystery?" "
