Chapter 125 The map is the original intention of Lanke chess game
I can't tolerate that in a certain past life, I was so short-sighted and just wanted to cut down trees. I didn't realize that there is an interdependent relationship between people and trees.
In the end, of course he succeeded. He created an ordinary saw and also created the astonishing Emperor's Saw, which became the culprit of deforestation.
"It's better to stop. If you continue to cut down trees like this, one day, all the trees on the earth will be cut down, leaving them bare and without even a place for shade. Do you want that kind of world?
He laughed, showing his white teeth.
"You are really strange. There are so many big trees in the world, but we don't need many. I am hardworking and capable, so I can support my people. Is there anything wrong with that?"
From his smile, I realized that symbiosis and co-prosperity between humans and trees was simply impossible.
In this strange hallucination, I realized more and more that human beings do not know how to cherish the known world and do not know how to cultivate the unknown world, which will lead to great destruction of the future world.
When I thought about this, I suddenly realized that the appearance of the Yin-Yang doll was a terrible omen.
Almost at the same time, I was completely awake. When we went to heaven and earth, climbed mountains and swam to find the truth of the unsolved mystery, we had already reached the tip of a cliff.
Life has an end, and knowledge has no end. If you explore an infinite world with a limited life, how can you reach the end?
"Hahahaha..." I burst out laughing, matching the other person's laughter.
Now that we have such wisdom, what difference does it make whether we walk to the end of the valley or not?
"I understand, I understand." I stood up and bowed deeply to the other party.
When he created the Emperor's Divine Saw and passed it on to future generations, it was actually his epiphany.
His idea of using a saw to change the world is based on his understanding of the world in front of him. I am born in the 21st century and should do more meaningful things.
The laughter penetrated the clouds, and all the haze in the sky dispersed. All the unhappiness that had confused me for a long time also disappeared.
When the laughter stopped, I stood in the valley outside the gate of Dulong Bingzhu Temple.
There is no beginning in front and no tail in behind.
I am the only one left in the world of the Snowy Mountains.
"Qin Chengpei has been here before, and his epiphany pointed to the Emperor God Saw, so he fought all the way back and found the Yin-Yang doll, but what happens after he finds it? Does he want to escape from wasting his life in a body? Or -"
I stroked the moss on the stone wall, and my thoughts underwent a rapid transformation.
In the past, everyone regarded Qin Chengpei as a "person". Now, in my eyes, Qin Chengpei is no longer an ordinary person, but a super person who has jumped out of the Three Realms and is not in the Five Elements.
"He is not dead. If you find him, you will be infinitely close to the truth." This is my highest understanding after I stepped out of Dulong Bingzhu Temple.
I sat down with my back against the stone wall, letting the cold of the snowy mountains invade my body unbridled.
After spending a long time in the Antiques Investigation Bureau, my sense of smell has been dulled by the pampered living conditions. Only this kind of iceberg that never melts can help me regain my original innocent heart.
Finally, I returned to the door in the snow light. As I expected, Tan Xuan had been waiting for me.
He is always in high spirits and never seems to tire.
"Look for Qin Chengpei. He is alive and lives here. He disappeared in the Uttar Pradesh Giant Tree Museum and must have returned here. He is like a kite. No matter how high or far it flies, wherever the line is, it will return."
Tan Xuan frowned and opened his mouth to ask.
I waved my hand to stop him: "Don't ask the reason. There is no reason. He is right here. Go find it. Dulong Bingzhu Temple is the origin of all chaos, so the solution lies here."
Tan Xuan stamped his feet and gently opened the paper tube in his left hand.
It was a floor plan of Dulong Bingzhu Temple, about two feet long and one foot wide.
I looked down at the map. The intersection of the top corners of the four walls marked a place called "Shirai".
"It's right there." In an instant, I penetrated the map and pointed straight to the core.
"There are only stone monuments there. I dug three feet into the ground and found only stones. How could there be anyone there? Mr. Ye, although your sixth sense is powerful, you always make mistakes, right?"
I refused Tan Xuan's reminder, took the map from his hand, led the way, and went straight to Baijing.
As expected, there is only one stone tablet in Shirai, about three feet high, with dense Sanskrit carvings on all sides.
Apart from the stone monument, only the hard rocky ground remains.
Tan Xuan followed me, silent.
I feel that this is the most spiritual place in Dulong Bingzhu Temple. Standing here, I can feel the presence of Qin Chengpei. However, the stone is so hard and there is no secret passage. Where can he hide?
At some point, Fang Xing quietly appeared.
She was wearing a very thick sheepskin coat, but she was still shivering and couldn't bear the cold night.
"There is nothing. Qin Chengpei is not here. He has disappeared and is dead... Ye Kai, give up your fantasy. The current situation is a mess. If Marin can keep the Yin-Yang doll, we can find the fairy sister in the Snow Mountain.
, just end it!”
Fang Xing's voice was full of depression, and he had obviously lost his fighting spirit.
I know that she is also a senior investigator. When a task fails, we must stop losses in time, save the fruits of victory as much as possible, stop investing, and start a new chapter.
"Yes, it is our greatest victory to find the fairy sister. Mr. Ma Lin will definitely be satisfied." Tan Xuan said.
As a super informant, he has always behaved in an orderly manner, neither blindly getting involved nor sitting on the sidelines, playing his role very appropriately.
"Okay." I didn't want to say anything more and simply nodded in agreement.
After arriving in the Snowy Mountains, I increasingly discovered the limitations of my cognition, just like a flashlight that is not powerful enough to penetrate the long night.
"Okay, okay, we finally reached an agreement!" Fang Xing breathed a sigh of relief and took the lead in reaching out his hand.
The three of us folded our right hands together, then separated weakly, and each returned to our residence to rest.
So far, we have not seen the real fairy sister.
If that peerless beauty really existed, she would not be far away from Dulong Bingzhu Temple.
In the dream, I seemed to travel through eighteen levels of reincarnation in an instant, and clearly saw the past.
"I am an extraordinary bird. I can flap my wings and fly thousands of miles away. I am an extraordinary horse. I can leap ten feet. I must gallop in all directions to live up to this life. I am an extraordinary person. I can cleanse the universe. I am willing to use my body of seven feet.
, responsible for the destiny and enlightenment of all things in the world..."
There was a heroic and majestic voice that kept singing loudly. The voice was sometimes close in front of us, and sometimes far away in the horizon.
I remembered the crazy state of studying Go when I was young. The chessboard was very large and covered eight wastelands. I transformed myself into a chess piece and threw myself into it. I didn’t know the passage of time, just hoping for a victory or defeat.
"After all, it's still a game of chess - chess is like life, but you can't treat life as a game of chess. If you lose in chess, you can start over, but if you lose in life, you can never reverse it." Someone is talking to me.
Whisper in the ear.
I discerned carefully and found that it was the earnest advice of the elders of the Ye family.
In an instant, it seemed as if a steel needle had pierced my heart, and I jumped up suddenly.
It was bright outside, the monks' morning classes had begun, and the sound of chanting was heard one after another.
"Tuk tuk, tuk tuk", someone knocked on the door gently.
I got up and opened the door. Standing outside were two middle-aged men with gray hair, at least fifty years old.
The two of them smiled and handed over their business cards with both hands.
In fact, I recognized them from their two weather-beaten, thin faces without looking at the content on the business card.
These two are world-class Go masters. They became famous at the age of thirty and retired from the world at the age of forty. They have long been indifferent to fame and fortune and have no interest in worldly affairs.
"We are all Qin Chengpei's friends. We know that you have gone to great lengths to find him and came here to visit. After he met Lan Ke's chess game, he called us to tell us the details. We didn't believe it at first. How could a mortal encounter the immortal game? But, look at what he passed on.
The chess record, every step is made by a magical hand, the thinking is clear, and the mystery is endless. We are here for the Lanke chess game. If you can find Qin Chengpei, we are willing to pay a sum of money to buy that chess record."
The two of them got straight to the point and directly explained their intention.
When I saw the "White Well" stone tablet, I realized that the existence of Dulong Bingzhu Temple is not a physical concept, but a metaphysical concept. Therefore, we must "retreat" through "real objects" to break through the eyes and ears.
Listen to the limitations and discover Qin Chengpei’s hidden places.
All "real" and "virtual" are inside and outside the chess game.
Eucommia ulmoides said that he and Qin Chengpei met immortals and admired the Lanke chess game, but they never talked about the complete content of the chess game. This is something we have always ignored.
I invited two people in, and one of them had a gold-flowered ebony chessboard under his arm, and immediately placed it on the table.
"The last move was Black's fatal move. I don't know how White can deal with it in order to turn it into something magical. Qin Chengpei is also a master of chess. In front of the fairy game, he was dazzled and went insane..."
While the two were talking, they moved quickly and restored the first one hundred and forty-seven moves of the Immortal Game on the chessboard.
"The white piece is very dangerous——" This is the conclusion of the board.
"Young man, if you were white, how would you move and avoid bad luck?"
My first feeling is that White will definitely play "Tian Yuan" and wait for Black to respond.
Tianyuan's position is special, with six and eight wastes, and all four elements are empty. When white's chess is placed here, black's countermeasures are endless. However, because there are many choices, selective phobia will occur, and it is easy to make a blind move.
"This is it." I picked up a white stone and dropped it on Tianyuan.
"Haha, when playing here, the efficiency of white's chess is extremely low. All eight positions will be attacked. Obviously, in the middle game where every inch of land must be fought for, the effectiveness of this move is too low." Another person smiled and shook his head.
Modern Go emphasizes that "every move must be efficient." However, even a super computer may not be able to do this. Therefore, this sentence is the ultimate goal, as if it is a heaven that can never be reached.
I asked the other party: "So what if the efficiency is low? So what if the efficiency is high? If the significance of this game does not lie in winning or losing, then why can't it be played here?"
"What? What?" The two people raised their heads together and stared at me.
I closed my eyes, not being disturbed by the sight of the two people, and continued: "When modern people see Go and talk about the game, they know that winning and losing must be determined, and life and death must be determined. According to the nature of everyone's greed for life and fear of death, everyone
Everyone just wants to win, not lose. Therefore, every chess piece must play its role and move towards victory. If...if...if the meaning of this game of chess is not to win or lose, but to guide the direction, then winning or losing in your eyes is still
Does it make sense?”
The two people didn't understand what I said, so they just remained silent.
My thinking is not clear enough. Although I am vaguely aware of the great significance of this chess game, I must organize my words well before I can explain it clearly.
"Playing chess is not about winning or losing, so why? Doesn't it mean life and death, speed, speed, winning and losing, right and wrong in all competitive events? Without these results, how can it be considered a competitive event-"
I immediately asked: "Is the meaning of Go lies in competition? Thousands of years ago, the ancient Chinese invented Go to deduce the universe. How could it be for competition? Just like the Book of Changes, the meaning of its existence is to trace the universe, heaven and earth, and the ultimate goal of the three realms of Yin and Yang.
How could it be that the connotation is for fortune-telling?"
"Ah, I understand! I understand..." The first person thought very quickly and already understood what I was talking about.
What I want to say is very simple - the Lanke chess game is a map, not a chessboard. People who understand Go will know it is Go as soon as they see the chessboard, but people who do not understand Go, even if the chessboard and chess pieces are given to him, he will not know it.
All we know is that they are just two boxes of black and white stones. In this case, if we don’t treat the chess game as a chess game, but as a map made of black and white stones, won’t we break through the shackles and see another world?
