In the year of Guimao, in the month of Dingsi, on the day of Yihai, it is an auspicious day of the zodiac. The day is worthy of death, so do not use it for important matters.】
The time came to the next day. Jiang Li got up early in the morning and looked at the calendar recorded in the Cause and Effect Collection. He thought for a while that what he had to do today should not be a big deal, and his luck should not be bad.
He put on his green robe covered with talismans, took on his long sword, went out, and went all the way to Daofa Pavilion.
Elder Wan was still standing in front of Daofa Pavilion as always, but Elder Yun was not seen today, which made the old man look a little lonely.
No, they are starting to play chess with themselves.
"How about playing chess? Elder."
Jiang Li sat down opposite Elder Wan with a smile and suggested, "How about the disciples come and play chess with the elders?"
Elder Wan raised his eyelids and glanced at Jiang Li, then directly pushed the jar containing Baizi to the opposite side, "If you can't win against me, don't speak too much."
This kid, who hadn't seen anyone for a month, suddenly came here today and looked very attentive, must have something to ask for.
When there is something going on, Elder Wan is there, but when there is nothing going on, you can't even see him.
Elder Wan decided to let young people understand what it means to respect their elders, and let them know not to treat their elders as tools. He used the superb chess skills he has developed through many years of playing games.
Then······
Two quarters of an hour passed.
Jiang Li dropped the last piece and smiled implicitly, "Elder, I accept."
This round cannot be said to be one-sided, it can only be said to be a huge disparity.
What is the correct way to open solidified cause and effect?
Is it hard practice?
Although practicing martial arts is correct, focusing only on practicing martial arts is undoubtedly a waste of this ability.
Efforts will be rewarded, which means that possibility will become inevitable. In theory, anything a person can do can be done through hard work. If there is enough time, one can even become a de facto omnipotent person.
For example, playing chess.
Jiang Li has dabbled in music, chess, calligraphy and painting, but due to time constraints, he can only focus on it. There is no way, in one Kun year, after excluding the time spent on practice, Jiang Li can't spend enough time.
many.
Even if his time management ability has improved to a level comparable to Master Luo through causal solidification, he still can't squeeze out more time.
Chess, which focuses on computing power, is Jiang Li's focus.
By the way, Jiang Li learned his chess skills from Elder Wan. It was through learning chess that he established an initial relationship with Elder Wan and gradually became familiar with him.
Therefore, after his disastrous defeat, Elder Wan seemed particularly unacceptable.
"Has anyone taught you chess?" Elder Wan's eyes seemed to be looking at a traitor who had betrayed his master.
"No, no," Jiang Li quickly denied, "It's just that I have made some gains recently and made some progress."
Really, just a little bit.
Jiang Li also made a special gesture with his thumb and index finger.
"Come again." Elder Wan said solemnly.
He straightened his back and looked solemn, ready to devote his whole life to chess.
"That thing..."
"If you win, I can do anything."
Then, another two quarters of an hour passed.
"Come again!"
Just by hearing these two words, you will know whether you win or lose.
Two quarters of an hour later——
"Come again!"
Two quarters of an hour later——
"Come again!"
······
After "coming again" until noon, Elder Wan finally recognized the reality.
He sighed, as if he had aged ten years, "I finally understand. In the past, you were just giving in to me and making me happy."
Jiang Li had also played against Elder Wan in the past, but each time he had no choice but to lose after persisting for a long time. Although he was not bad, he was still not as good as Elder Wan, which made the old man very happy.
But today, in order to stop Elder Wan from being cold-hearted, Jiang Li decided to use a strong medicine to fight fire with fire.
It was just a little too fierce, and Elder Wan almost had his heart broken.
"How can this be a joke? This disciple is showing his filial piety. Aren't we afraid that you will be unhappy if you lose?" Jiang Li cleared the chessboard with a smile on his face.
"Huh! Am I the kind of person who can't afford to lose?"
Elder Wan snorted coldly, and finally suppressed his desire to "play another round".
"Tell me, I also want to know, what made your kid so anxious today?"
Yes, anxious.
In the past, Jiang Li would definitely have lost dozens of games to make Elder Wan happy before making a request. In that case, although Elder Wan had not been defeated, Elder Wan would not have ignored Jiang Li seriously.
Being able to administer such a strong medicine can only mean that the matter is very urgent, so urgent that Jiang Li, a junior who has always been calm, can't control his thoughts.
However, even though he was so eager, Jiang Li still stayed with him until noon, which made Elder Wan feel warm in his heart.
What a good boy.
‘The plan goes through.’ When Jiang Li, who also worked very hard on his acting skills, saw this, he smiled duplicitously.
"well--"
Jiang Li showed his superb acting skills and drew a fan shape on his face, showing three parts melancholy, three parts anger, three parts forbearance, and one part sadness, "Someone wants to kill me."
"My people who share the same origin with me want to kill me."
Jiang Zhuyun didn't know what skills Jiang Li had exchanged, which proved Elder Wan's trustworthiness. Jiang Li's past interactions with Elder Wan also made him believe that this elder would not harm him.
Therefore, he slightly deleted the stories about people trying to harm him, excluding some cruel experiences such as waterboarding, and then recounted them one by one.
Then, Jiang Li stood up and bowed to Elder Wan, "Elder, please save me."
"The Jiang family members are anonymous. You don't know who they are now, and they have murderous intentions against you. The most important thing is that you know that they want to harm you, but you can't fight back. Even if you expose the matter,
You can't really threaten Jiang Zhuyun, because he is the third son of the Jiang family, and you are just an unknown outer disciple."
After hearing this, Elder Wan summarized the situation and said: "This is indeed a difficult task, but it is very simple to keep you safe."
He looked at Jiang Li and said with a smile: "Xiao Jiang, you are too low-key and too cautious. You have to know that whether you or someone else joins the Dinghu Sect, first of all you are a disciple of the Dinghu Sect, and secondly
What other status? In fact, I have heard about the disciples of the Jiang family. They typically put the family first, and the identity of the disciples is only secondary. The elders of the inner sect are also quite dissatisfied with this.
"
"But you are different. Now you are the same enemy as Jiang Zhuyun, but you have proved your position. As long as you can show enough value, without you doing anything, the sect will protect your safety. That Jiang Zhuyun
He dares to kill an unknown outer sect disciple, and he dares to kill a hero who is valued by the sect?"
"If you are valued by the sect, let alone having some evidence, even if there is no evidence, if you report to the superiors that someone is trying to harm you, the sect will not take it seriously."
"I don't know why you are so low-key. I just want to tell you that being low-key and cautious is not a bad thing, but being too low-key and cautious is being conservative."
Elder Wan knew some of Jiang Li's abilities, and it was precisely for this reason that he wanted to take the opportunity to teach Jiang Li some life experience.
"If you don't talk about anything else, let's just talk about this Dao Fruit. If you don't make some achievements next, do you think the sect will hand over the eighth-grade Dao Fruit to you for no reason?"
of course not.
The ninth-grade Dao Fruit is the threshold for entering the Tao, and will be given when the conditions are met. However, the subsequent Dao Fruit needs to be valued by the sect and needs to show sufficient potential.
Even if Jiang Li can pass this level, he still needs to show his prominence after he fully integrates the ninth-grade Dao Fruit. Otherwise, even if you fully integrate the Dao Fruit, the sect must give you the eighth-grade Dao Fruit.
?
If your practice at this time is divorced from the Tao and Fruition, then it will be extremely difficult to make further progress.
When Jiang Li thought of this, he felt that he was a little blind.
After all, he is still young. Although he has been born for two generations, his mental age is only less than thirty. Although he has a good mind, he still lacks some of the sophistication brought by years.
Being cautious is not a bad thing, but it shouldn't make you shy away from it.
Although Elder Wan was caught by Jiang Li, his words at this time undoubtedly taught Jiang Li a very important lesson.
'That's why it's up to the elders to solve the problem,' Jiang Li said with some self-deprecation in his heart, 'I'm still too young.'
With this in mind, he saluted Elder Wan again and said, "Disciple understands."
"It's good to understand," Elder Wan stroked his long beard and comforted him, "Don't bury yourself like this in the future, I will also help you. It's like you picked ten ninth-grade disciples today, and tomorrow I dare to directly
Report to the leader that a hidden dragon has appeared in the outer sect. Wait, why are you going?"
