"Zhao Xiaolangjun, if you help me understand the truth, I will naturally have to reciprocate."
Nangong Chu paused and said, "Zhao Xiaolang, please wait for a moment."
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 Mr. Zhao 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 spiritual practice 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 the way of chess is not a mainstream practice system. It can only be regarded as a branch at most. Similar ones include runes, seal cutting, etc."
Zhao Xun suddenly realized at this moment.
It turned out that 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, Chief Shan, 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-grade powerhouses, and Yuan Tiangang and Shan Zhang are even more super-grade 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 Demonism.
As for seal carving, runes, and chess skills, 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 cultivation methods are too complicated and he needs an auxiliary system to get through them. I'm afraid Taoist Qi nourishing techniques alone 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 a chess master. As for the mention of these ranks, I have never heard of it. Forgive me for my ignorance."
Zhao Xun suddenly realized.
Since mainstream practitioners have not incorporated chess into their practice system, the mainstream nine-grade system will naturally not be used to classify chess players' 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!
"We are together by fate. It is 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 predators are soft-handed.
Nangong Chu even provided Zhao Xun with the secrets of spiritual practice, but Zhao Xun had nothing to say about dessert.
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-level cultivator, and his strength in Confucianism, Martial Arts, and Taoism is astonishing.
It can be said that Zhao Xun is almost guaranteed to win when facing a seventh-grade opponent of the same level.
And when facing someone with a higher level than him, Zhao Xun is not completely powerless 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.
With the assistance of martial arts cultivators and Tao cultivators, Zhao Xun, a fifth- and sixth-grade practitioner, still has a chance.
But against a fourth-level 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".
As the saying goes, having many skills does not 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 has a bright future.
Zhao Xun opened "The Universe in the Scale" and turned to the first page.
This entire page contains a drawing of 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.
...
...
That's right, 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 chessboard"! It means there is another universe in 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 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 is equal to 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 him this book?
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?
