Chapters 1850.
Hearing Gerald's question, Torme then explained,
“You just need to put your hand on the soul bamboo. Once you do, it
it will send its meaning into your mind. However, please remember to use your heart to feel it! Never do not
misled!”
Immediately doing what Torme said, Gerald then placed his hand on the bamboo!
Gerald watched the light slowly envelop his hand, and a split second later, the young man found himself standing inside the white space.
Looking around, Gerald saw that other than an old man — who was sitting cross-legged on the ground — and Go board in front of the man, there was nothing else in this empty dimension…
While he was a little dumbfounded, Gerald quickly flinched before walking over to the old man…
“Ah, it's you, sir! Come, sit!”
Inviting the old man even before
Gerald had a word to say.
After hearing that, Gerald only did as he was told. Seeing Gerald sitting opposite him, the old man then said,
"Since you're already here, why don't you play around with me?"
Nodding in response, Gerald simply replied,
“It is an honor to play with you, Mister!”
Smiling, the old man chose not to say anything as he slowly waved his hand.
Seeing that, Gerald respectfully said,
"After you, Sir!"
Still choosing to remain silent, the old man only grinned as a stone floated out of Go's bowl and placed himself on the board!
While the magical scene completely shocked Gerald, he quickly regained his senses from it, knowing that it was now his turn.
a lot of.
With that in mind, he wasn't very good at the game. Even so, the game was very immersive, and the two continued to lay stone after stone on the board.
“Try not to be too impatient or anxious, Sir. You must learn to understand the deep meaning of the game..” The old man said.
Upon hearing that, Gerald was able to immediately find out that there was an underlying meaning behind those words.
If what he managed to gather was correct, in order to fully understand the meaning of bamboo, he would first need to understand the inner outer play…
With that in mind, the second game immediately began.
While Gerald was clearly not an expert, he had improved greatly compared to the first game.
Gerald realized that he only lasted throughout the first game. Therefore, he did not have the strength to counterattack at the last moment and was immediately defeated. In Torme's words, he had 'strayed'.
After all, now that he knew where his mistake was, Gerald no longer persisted. Instead, he launched attack after attack!
However, after a fierce battle with the old man, Gerald still lost.
“You have greatly improved from the last match, sir!
Your success is near! I can feel it!"
Said the man before cleaning the board again.
The second game begins, Gerald taking the initiative to attack. He would not be misled by the old man again. Instead, he will be the
dominant this time!
As his Go game skills had improved tremendously at this point, honestly even Gerald himself was surprised that the old man was unable to launch any counterattacks.
Either way, after a battle stronger than before, Gerald finally achieved victory.
“Happy to have gained a complete understanding, sir! You can go now!”
The old man said after losing the game.
Shocked to hear that, Gerald was about to ask something when he realized that the old man and the go board had disappeared!
