The first round of failure Liujiazhuang The sky makes the chessboard, the stars make the sons, who can play?The so-called world is like chess, which means that the world is like a chess game, ever-changing, unpredictable, and the way of chess is the way of the world. The game of Go has existed since ancient times, and it can be called an elegant art. It is said that it was invented by Emperor Yao, and he taught his son Danzhu to restrain his nature.There may be ancient sages who looked up at astronomy, looked down at geography, participated in human affairs, and placed them in response to the phenomena of all things.It became popular in later generations, and there are national players from generation to generation. One is a method of self-cultivation and self-cultivation, and the other is a technique for competing among various schools.Its three hundred and sixty-one grids correspond to the number of the Tianhe map, which is one of the three hundred and sixty-five degrees and four divisions of the sky.Black and white are divided into yin and yang to resemble the two appearances, and the four corners are established to correspond to the four images.Nine stars are distributed, Tianyuan is set in the middle, within the pattern, between black and white, there is infinite interest.Among them, there are ever-changing changes, strange lands and strange feelings, and you can't comprehend its mysteries unless you have extremely high talent and spirituality.As for the combination of skills and heaven and earth, and the ability to communicate with ghosts and gods, it is another realm.

During the Wanli period of the Ming Dynasty, a certain place in Hebei, Liujiazhuang. A heavy snow fell for two days and two nights, covering hundreds of miles.Everything is wrapped in silver makeup, the mountains and rivers are the same color, the birds and beasts are gone, and the world is solemn.Occasionally, the mountain wind blows, and the snow falls among the forests, turbulent in all directions, looking from a distance, it looks like rising mist, and the already invisible valleys and ravines are shrouded in it. The mountain village after the snow is especially quiet.The winter is very cold, and most people in the mountains get up late, and after the heavy snow, they don't bother to move.However, after all, there are hardworking people, the vermilion lacquer gate of a house opened with a creak, and an old man with a bamboo broom walked out.The old man first swept away the snow on the steps, and then let out a fat middle-aged man in fur.The person looked into the distance for a moment, and sighed: "It's snowing! It's snowing! I haven't seen such heavy snow for many years!" After speaking, he let out a long breath, feeling extremely refreshed.

His name was Liu Yishan, and he was a country gentleman from Liujiazhuang.In the early years, I used to study the classics hard to gain fame, but my official career was not good. After I was selected as a scholar, I didn't make any progress. I simply gave up stereotypes and became a hermit in this remote mountain village.In the eyes of the villagers, he can be regarded as a person with face and face. Liu Yishan was immersed in the snow scene. "Huh?" The old man sweeping the snow suddenly said in surprise, "Master, what do you think this is?" It turned out that there was a pile of snow bags protruding under the steps, obviously something was buried there.When Liu Yishan saw it, he said, "Liu Fu, sweep away and have a look." Liu Fu responded, and went forward to sweep a few times with the broom, the snow receded, and two people appeared underneath.Liu Yishan was startled when he saw this, when he looked closely, he found an old man and a young child.The old one was in shabby clothes and didn't wear cotton-padded clothes; the young one was a boy of thirteen or fourteen, although there were several layers of commoner clothes on his body, his body was still frail.After Liu Fu was stunned, he quickly leaned over and shook the two of them a few times. The two young and old seemed to have been frozen for a long time, and they didn't respond.Liu Yishan hurriedly said to Liu Fu: "Call someone to carry them into the warm room for rescue." Liu Fu immediately ran into the door and shouted: "The master ordered, come out and save them!" People carried them into the house, put them on separate beds, wrapped them in quilts, and a servant hurriedly brought the brazier.Seeing this, Liu Yishan couldn't help scolding: "How do people in the frozen region use fire? Quickly add a few more quilts. They are really useless people!" Then he ordered: "Hurry up and cook two bowls of ginger soup."

Everyone was flustered for a while, Liu Fu checked the old and the young, then shook his head, got up and said to Liu Yishan: "Master, this old man is no longer useful, the young body is still warm, and he still has a breath, he needs to be warmed up." It takes two hours to wake up." Liu Yishan heard it, and said compassionately: "Poor! Poor! The matter has come to this point, and it is a good deed to save the child's life. Let the old man be buried first, and we will discuss it after the child wakes up. After finishing speaking, Liu Yishan turned around and wanted to go back to the living room. At this time, two fifteen or sixteen-year-old youths in gorgeous clothes ran in from the door, and they shouted after entering the door: "What happened?" Seeing Liu Yishan, the two hurriedly Standing at the side, he said with a smile: "Morning, Father!" Liu Yishan saw the two people's informal appearance, and said sullenly: "Liu Cai, Liu Lu, you two are not going to study, what are you doing here?" Then Liu Cai stretched his neck He glanced at the bed and said, "I heard that Daddy saved two people. I don't know what it's like?" Liu Lu said disapprovingly, "It turned out that they were two beggars. Don't worry about what they do." Liu Yishan heard this and said angrily: " You bastard! Don't be rude!" The two brothers saw that they had no fun, so they went obediently.

In the afternoon, Liu Yishan was having tea in the living room when his family member Liu Fu came in, bowed and said, "Master, that child is awake." Upon hearing this, Liu Yishan hurriedly got up and said, "Let's go and have a look." The master and servant came to the wing room At this time, the old man who had frozen to death had been carried to the firewood house, and only the young man was lying in the room, looking around blankly with his eyes open. When he saw someone coming in, he sat up with difficulty and said: " My lord! Where is my master?" Liu Fu hurriedly stepped forward to help him, and said, "Young master, lie down and don't move. My master is here. He saved you. If you have something to say, speak slowly." Liu Yishan sat by the bed At this time, I saw clearly that the young man was born with delicate features, and there was an aura in his expression, and he couldn't help but admire in his heart: "What a handsome boy!" The young man said eagerly at this time: "Sir, do you know that my master is here?" Where?" Liu Yishan was slightly stunned, and said, "That old man is your master? Where are you from?" The young man shook his head and said, "I don't know where I am from, but Master saved me on the side of the road ten years ago. So they call each other master and apprentice. A few days ago, Xueda lost his way, and the master was ill for several days. When he was sheltering from the wind and snow at the door of his house, he fell asleep for some reason, and when he woke up, he was lying here, and the master was missing." When it was over, the boy began to sob.After hearing this, Liu Yishan knew that the old and the young were homeless people, and said sadly: "You little child, you have experienced many twists and turns. To tell the truth, when I rescued you, your teacher froze to death, and now you are temporarily placed in Chai Chai. In the room." Hearing the news, the young man couldn't help crying loudly, and immediately dragged his weak body to see the master's body.Seeing the young man's deep affection for the dead old man, Liu Yishan was also moved, so he asked Liu Fu to help the young man to the woodshed.

At this time, the old man who had frozen to death had been placed on a door panel, covered with a straw mat, and two servants were making a simple coffin beside him.Seeing his master lying there coldly, the boy threw himself on the corpse and cried loudly.Liu Yishan and Liu Fu, both master and servant, couldn't help but weep along with them.The young man was already frail and overwhelmed with grief, so he passed out from crying for a while.Liu Yishan hurriedly asked Liu Fu to take the boy back to the room. Liu Fu fed the boy some soup.After a while, the boy gradually woke up, and Liu Fu fed him another bowl of porridge, and the boy regained some strength. Under Liu Yishan's questioning, the boy cried and told about his life experience.It turned out that the old man who froze to death was named Fang Lan, and he was a wandering wanderer.The young man named Fang Guohuan, following his master's surname, got lost from his home ten years ago. He was sitting on the side of the road and crying.In Fang Guohuan's vague memory, there are many tall houses in his home, and there are often many people, horses and vehicles walking around in front of the door, like a large family.Later, Fang Lan had no choice but to accept Fang Guohuan as his apprentice, and named him after her surname, and then took Fang Guohuan to travel around the world.Although Fang Lan is a down-and-out Jiang Hu, she is also proficient in the Four Books and Five Classics. She is versatile and teaches Fang Guohuan how to read and write in her spare time.Over the past ten years, Fang Guohuan has also become a well-learned scholar, able to write well, and has not wasted time in vain.The two masters and apprentices love each other like father and son, and they depend on each other for life. Fang Guohuan has gradually grown up under Fang Lan's care after wandering in the world for many years.I don't want Fang Lan to die suddenly, leaving Fang Guohuan alone, with no relatives, and I don't know how to live in the future.After Fang Guohuan finished telling everything, he burst into tears again.
