Chapter 384: After playing chess and copying the book

Lu Baixiang stood up, looked at the handsome young man with a red mole on his eyebrows with a smile, and extended his hand to indicate Cui Dongshan to sit down, "It doesn't matter who learns chess and who teaches chess."

This one of the strongest Go players in the history of Ouhua Blessed Land has an intuition that he may play a career masterpiece today.

Cui Dongshan sat down, with one foot on the stool, bent over, and resting his chin on his knees. Compared with Lu Baixiang, who was sitting upright, it was a world of difference.

Cui Dongshan stretched out his arm, gently brushed his fingers on the edge of the chess box, and said lazily: "You haven't decided yet?"

Lu Baixiang laughed dumbly, never thinking On the chessboard, there was still a day when he was looked down upon by others, but Lu Baixiang was not upset by such a trivial matter. He nodded and said with a smile: "When I first come here, I really don't have a certain level."

Cui Dongshan nodded and said: "In order to determine the rank, according to the rules of the world, you can first play three games with a nine-dan chess player Dai Zhao, three two one, and the newcomer will be given three, two, and one pieces respectively. Of course. , the victory or defeat does not affect the final ranking, it is more of a support and a favor. Your luck, Lu Baixiang, is much stronger than your chess ability.”

Of course, the real decision for the newcomer’s ranking is. Or those ties with fourth- and fifth-dan chess players.

Cui Dongshan suddenly raised his head, "Maybe you will think that in the next game between you and me, you will have a chance to play the best game. I might as well tell you that this is your illusion. But you are definitely not convinced, then I Just reverse the order, one, two, three, give one piece first, so that you can know your true balance. As for whether it is a seat system or an empty draw, it is up to you."

Lu Baixiang shook his head. Said: "No need to give up, even if I lose, I still know the gap between you and me."

Cui Dongshan stretched out his finger and tapped Lu Baixiang, "I just like your kind of genius. Be blindly conceited without fear of ground, okay, I guess if it’s a handicap, you won’t agree. Then we’ll start with an empty hand, but if we don’t guess, you, Lu Baixiang, will go first with black.”

Lu Baixiang asked with a smile: "How many lines should be posted?"

Cui Dongshan stopped his smile and became impatient, "We will talk about it later."

Lu The white elephant was a bit of a guest, and the chess box in hand happened to contain black stones, so he took the lead in making moves.

Cui Dongshan allowed Lu Baixiang to play the world's number one tip in the "Caiyun Pu". Black one, three and five occupied the corner, black seven guarded the corner, and black nine tip. It is indestructible, but it also contains hidden murderous intent, and a storm is coming.

Cui Dongshan remained unmoved and acted fairly, and did not even use any of the "not to suffer" coping methods in later generations.

Lu Baixiang fell into concentration like an old monk, immersed in the chess game and completely forgetting himself.

Cui Dongshan is a talker. He plays chess carelessly and starts talking about it. He really seems to be teaching Lu Baixiang how to play chess. "Actually, the seat system is more fun and is popular nowadays." Of course, the empty balance opening has its own advantages, and it will make the chessboard 'bigger', but if you are not strong enough, you will use up all the clever formulas of the sages in the prologue. It seems thatThere are flowers all over the place, but in the middle of the game, there are unsightly things going in and out, old farmers digging into manure pits, mad dogs biting people, and catching loaches in smelly ditches. It's so boring that it can make people watching chess doze off. ”

“Today’s people, when commenting on the seat system of the ancients, prefer to belittle the prologue and only admit that the competition in the Central Plains in the middle game is very exciting. In fact, it is still not quite right. "

"Lu Baixiang, your intuition about chess shapes is pretty good, but it's only pretty good. As for the theory of chess, it's just like... the Xingyi on Sui's right side, you can't even touch it, even see it. Never seen it. "

The chess game has just entered the middle game. Cui Dongshan, who was chattering, has already covered the chess box with his palms.

Lu Baixiang raised his head, "Mr. Cui, what are you doing? ? "

Cui Dongshan was stunned, "Don't you see that you have lost? A matter of thirty hands at most. "

Cui Dongshan raised his hand, "Then continue. ”

Lu Baixiang frowned and continued to make moves.

It is undeniable that Lu Baixiang has an outstanding style when playing chess. Whether he reaches out to twist the pieces or bends down to make moves, Or looking at the chess game, it's all romantic.

It's a pity that Cui Dongshan doesn't look at these at all. Even in the chess game, Cui Dongshan doesn't pay much attention, and the pieces fall like flying, and the white stones take root on the board. After that, he waited boredly for Lu Baixiang. This was probably the reason why he kept nagging. It was too boring to wait.

Cui Dongshan said casually: "Zuozi chess and empty balance game. In fact, we can't talk about advantages and disadvantages. Nowadays, chess players are arguing about this and that. In the final analysis, their views on the chess game are not deep enough or broad enough. In fact, besides Caiyun's ten games, there should have been an eleventh game. As for the chessboard, it didn't just have nineteen vertical and horizontal lines, it was too small. ”

Lu Baixiang’s heart tightened and he paused for a long time, silently staring at the chess game that was actually not complicated.

The opponent had no powerful killing moves, no clever exchanges, and no so-called demon swords. Da Xie.

It was like he just played half a game of chess with Lu Bai and waited patiently for him to admit defeat.

With a heavy heart, the elephant placed the two chess pieces in the lower right corner of the chessboard and surrendered.

Cui Dongshan yawned, "Yeah, I just said there's no need to think about it. The goal does not serve the purpose. Next, let me give you a son? "

Lu Baixiang said in a deep voice: "How about Mr. Cui giving me two sons? ”

Cui Dongshan laughed and said: “Those who know the current affairs are heroes. Not bad, not bad. It’s not in vain that I teach you this game of chess.” ”

Lu Baixiang smiled bitterly and was speechless. After calming down, he began to clean up the chess game. Finally, he took a deep breath and started the second game.

Cui Dongshan still did not go all out. The posture is just an early assertion, "I made no mistakes every step of the way, and I will naturally win. ”

After the middle game, Lu Baixiang often needs to take long exams.

Cui Dongshan didn’t urge him at all, he just looked around often, but he didn’t know what to do.

After Lu Baixiang dropped a piece, the sky brokeHuang took the initiative and asked: "Is it just that there are no mistakes in every step?"

Cui Dongshan hummed, "That's it. But what I mean by no mistakes is not what I mean by ordinary ninth-dan national players. You I don’t understand, this is profound knowledge that is thousands of miles away from the earth. How can I teach it to a young boy in a school?”

After all, this game of chess was dragged to the final stage by Lu Baixiang. But he still surrendered.

Cui Dongshan suddenly changed, became interested, and asked with a smile: "In the third game, let's get some small bonuses?"

Lu Baixiang asked in return: "What lottery? "

Cui Dongshan smiled and said: "My husband told me that each of the four of you has a sentence. I already know the general content, but I also know that some of you must have lied, and not all of them may have lied. Fake, it should be half truth and half false. Logically speaking, you, Lu Baixiang, are the most suspect, because your words are the most nonsense, but these are not important. If I win the third game, you, Lu Baixiang, only need to Tell me who you think is most likely to lie. You can tell me whoever you want, as long as you give me a name."

Lu Baixiang couldn't laugh or cry, "In this case, is there any meaning? "

Cui Dongshan said seriously: "Yes."

Lu Baixiang thought for a moment, shook his head and said: "Two

(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)

The game is enough."

Cui Dongshan said with a disappointed look on his face: "It's not difficult to get a strong ninth rank in Aquarius Continent with your chess skills, although it is only equivalent to the God of Middle Earth. The ordinary nine-dan skills in the continent are not bad. If you learn more chess and play more scores, in the future, in the chess forest of the Divine Continent of China where there are many masters, you, Lu Baixiang, can have a place and let you have three sons. Don’t even dare to play?”

Lu Baixiang hesitated and asked curiously: “Can Mr. Cui’s chess skills rank among the top ten in this vast world?”

Lu Baixiang's eyes were hot, "I dare to ask again, how big is the gap between Mr. Cui and the Lord of Baidi City?"

Cui Dongshan thought for a while. "It's missing a Ma Lei who takes the lead in black."

Lu Baixiang's mood gradually stabilized, and he asked with a smile: "If I win with the third son, what will happen to Mr. Cui?"

Cui Dongshan pointed to the "Caiyun Pu" and said, "I just ate it."

Lu Baixiang only thought it was a joke and couldn't help but ask again, "What's the difference in chess skills between Mr. Cui and Cui Han, the Great Li State Master?"

Cui Dongshan glanced at Lu Baixiang and said nothing.

Lu Baixiang apologized: "I was rude."

Cui Dongshan stood up and asked: "How do you feel after losing two games?"

Lu Baixiang stood up and said sincerely: "I have benefited a lot, even though I lost, it is an honor."

Cui Dongshan shook his head and said disapprovingly: "How can you say that the following fourCharacter. ”

Looking at Cui Dongshan’s back.

Lu Baixiang sat back and began to review the game alone.

Cui Dongshan walked in the corridor and murmured Said: "Wei Xian, it's a bit dangerous. ”

Then he laughed a little at himself, “What does this mean?” "

He smiled suddenly and knocked on the door on Sui's right, "Sister Sui, are you there? I have already finished learning chess from Lu Baixiang. How about I learn swordsmanship from you? ”

After Chen Pingan put the treasure box back into the bamboo box, he left the inn alone and casually visited the local customs.

小Although the county town is small, it has all the necessary features, including the Wenwu Temple, the Town God's Temple, the county government school, and all kinds of shops.

The bumpy yellow mud road, the budding willow trees, the crowing of cocks and the barking of dogs, and the brand-new Spring Festival couplets. /p>

The hurriedly running businessmen from other places and the running children, most of them wearing new clothes for the New Year, are full of vitality.

Walking around, I don’t know what to expect. I walked outside the Martial Arts Temple and passed by a Temple of Wealth. Compared with the deserted Confucian Temple, Chen Pingan had traveled thousands of miles and found something interesting. Secular people seem to respect big gods but are not close to them. They are more intimate with the Temple of Wealth, the Earth Temple, and various small temples with low status. For example, in Qingluan Kingdom, where there are many Taoist temples, the main god in the main hall is. Ordinary people often offer incense and pay homage, and often stay for a short time. However, after kowtowing devoutly at the feet of some gods who are responsible for something, they will mutter words, pray and make wishes.

Chen Ping'an walked in. There are only a handful of pilgrims in the Wu Temple.

The statue looks like a military general, with a mace in his arms and a ferocious look.

The temple minister did not show up here. Chen Ping'an. Now he is in the fifth level of martial arts, but his injury has not yet healed. There are advantages and disadvantages. There is a glimmer of hope to compete for the elusive title of the strongest. Of course, the premise is that Cao Ci, the genius of the Daduan Dynasty, has become a martial artist. Six realms. The key to the sixth realm is to find a hero's courage, which is somewhat similar to the Qi practitioner's golden elixir. There are generally two shortcuts. One is to enter the martial arts temple and try your luck to see if you can be favored and be given one.

The other way is to go to the ancient battlefield ruins and fight with those lingering battlefield heroes, but it is quite dangerous. There are very few wandering heroes alone in the ancient battlefield ruins. The heroic general who has never lost his intelligence has a number of dark soldiers and generals under his command, who are extremely difficult to deal with. The fairy book purchased from the Upside Down Mountain records that there is a huge ruins in the Middle-earth Divine Continent. The heroic spirit possesses the equivalent of The cultivation of the 12th level of Qi Practitioner, coupled with the equivalent of a military saint sitting on the battlefield, is tantamount to a legendary ascension level. He has hundreds of thousands of Yin soldiers and Yin generals under his command. According to legend, the great masters of Longhu Mountain have Before he takes the throne, he needs to go here to experience, even more than the tragedy of his death.

Chen Ping'an has never had a problem with the gift from the Martial Temple.I hope that today is nothing more than a walk, but more about longing for those ancient battlefield sites that are famous in history, and relying on my own fists to fight for a real sixth realm.

Chen Pingan stood alone in the main hall of the Martial Arts Temple. The Martial Arts Temple in the county was too small and there was no place to invite incense. People brought their own incense. Chen Pingan felt that it was not suitable to put his hands together, so he simply cupped his hands and cupped his fists. , saluted the martial saint as a martial artist, and then turned and left.

Outside the main hall, the spring scenery is bright and beautiful.

Chen Pingan crossed the threshold.

Now that the Changsheng Bridge has been rebuilt and the first natal item has been successfully refined, Chen Pingan has stepped into the threshold of a Qi Practitioner.

But this is by no means a great blessing. There are few good things in the world that have both the paws and the fins of the fish. Especially when the two identities of a Qi practitioner and a pure martial artist are completely opposite, although there is not no one who practices both. , but looking at the world, there are only a few, including some sword cultivators in the Great Wall of Sword Qi, Taoist priests in the Master Sword Room, and several freaks that Cui Han once mentioned inadvertently, belong to this category. The reason why this move is regarded as stupid by the orthodox is that the further you go, the more likely it is that there will be almost fatal mistakes. It is not easy for a Qi practitioner to form a golden elixir, and it is even more difficult for Yuan Ying to break the bottleneck and destroy the inner demons. Buddha The invincible golden body of spiritual cultivation and the stainless glass body pursued by Taoism are actually tirelessly pursuing the word "flawless", and the practice of martial arts is even more focused on the word purity.

Once you choose to open up two paths at the same time, you are asking for trouble. It is easy to fail to rely on both ends, and your ultimate achievements will be limited.

Just when Chen Pingan's right foot was about to step out of the threshold, a ripple of spiritual energy appeared behind him, and a mellow voice sounded, "Master Immortal, please stay."

Chen Pingan accepted Turning around, he walked back into the main hall. The painted statue of the statue cast a layer of golden light, and then a middle-aged general wearing golden armor walked out of the statue and landed in the main hall.

The local martial saint of Qingluan Kingdom clasped his fists and smiled: "Thanks to the help of the immortal master's student, our two civil and martial temples escaped the disaster. I wonder if the immortal master can Give us a chance to repay? If the Immortal Master needs it, just ask. As long as our two temples can do it, we will never shirk it." Chen Ping'an smiled and said, "This time, it's my student who takes action. The meaning of one person has nothing to do with me, Wu Shengren doesn’t need to thank me. I just happened to be passing by this time, so I’m bothering you a lot.”

Wu Shengren said helplessly: “I would like to be bothered more.”

Chen Pingan was speechless.

Shinto incense is the most wonderful.

Chen Ping'an had nothing to do, so he simply picked a futon and sat down, while Wu Shengren set up some blinding restrictions

(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)

, to avoid frightening mortals, he also sat down.

Chen Ping'an asked about the origins and etiquette of the two temples, civil and military, and also asked about literary and bold matters. This question was not out of the ordinary among the confusing questions.

Wu Shengren told everyone he knew and answered them one by one.

Chen Pingan got what he wanted, stood up and saidXie said goodbye, and Wu Shengren just walked to the entrance of the main hall. After the young immortal master drifted away, the golden body returned to rest among the clay statues.

A young man dressed in white walked on the street, passing by the green trees, passing by the yellow dog lying on the ground basking in the sun, passing by the laughing children, the young man murmured to himself. Words, muttering in pieces.

"At your age, there are always things you can't do, or things you can't do well even if you try hard. What does it matter? It doesn't matter."

"It can be done. Doing well and making mistakes are two different things. When you are young, you don’t need to be afraid of making mistakes, but this is not a reason not to correct them.”

“If you have sensible parents and make mistakes. , will beat you and scold you. If you go to school, your husband will slap you on the palm with a ruler and a board. Xiao Baoping has Mr. Qi, and his elder brother Cao Qinglang has you in school again. None. It doesn’t matter, I’ll teach you.”

“But what’s the best way to teach you? No one taught me when I was your age.”

He was in no hurry to return to the inn.

Chen Ping'an suddenly remembered something, turned into a secluded alley, and took out a yellow paper talisman from the jade card nearby. It was the one that lived in Caiyi Kingdom's withered and beautiful ghost. On the Osmanthus Island hanging upside down on the mountain, Aunt Gui and Jindan Laojian Xiu Mazhi helped him make a contract with the female ghost. It's just that Chen Ping'an had suffered greatly from a female ghost in wedding clothes earlier, and he naturally disliked the evil things that caused troubles. Since leaving Osmanthus Island, he has never given the female ghost a chance to show up.

When she saw the light of day again, she felt a little uncomfortable for a moment. She stood in the shadow, slim and graceful, but also gloomy.

She was wearing a gorgeous colorful dress with wide sleeves, and her hands were hidden in the sleeves, but Chen Ping'an knew that except for the beautiful face, the female ghost's neck was full of bones.

She cast a blessing, revealing two pieces of snow-white... bone wrists, and said softly: "This slave has met the master."

Chen Pingan was a little embarrassed to say, so he hesitated. Decide.

When signing the contract, Chen Ping'an learned that the female ghost's real name was Shi Rou.

While Chen Pingan was paying attention to whether anyone was passing by nearby, he was thinking about something to say.

She smiled and said: "Master needs the slave to do something not so clean? Master does not need to hesitate, this is the slave's duty."

Chen Pingan sighed , shook his head and said: "I'm not asking you to do those shady things. You are a woman, and I want to ask you something about what you are good at."

The withered female ghost narrowed her eyes, "Oh? Dare you ask Master , But it’s a matter of men and women?”

She laughed, a skeletal arm stretched out from her big sleeve, she covered her mouth and smiled sweetly, but her eyes were cold, “I never thought that the master had such eccentricities, but this is a slave’s blessing. "

Chen Pingan said helplessly, regardless of the sarcasm in her words.: "I want to ask you, during your lifetime, have you ever been married and raised your children? Do you know some methods of setting rules for the children and younger generations in the family."

She was confused. It was obvious that Chen Pingan's The idea surprised her. Her soul was trapped in that scroll in her early years, and she was used to committing evil acts by the old immortal master. She was disgusted by it. It was better than watching the sisters' souls scattered. The souls of some poor sisters, Even more so, the old man used the extremely sinister "sitting on wax technique" among the immortal arts to light the oil lamp, and his soul was used as the wick to melt away little by little. It was extremely miserable. Who dared to disobey except her?

As a result, she now has a new owner. How come she has changed so much?

She breathed a sigh of relief, shook her head and said: "This slave was never married before, let alone knew what the master said."

Chen Pingan nodded and said it without saying a word. She took back the talisman and put something close at hand.

In the underworld of the talisman cage, the female ghost was swaying, with a look of astonishment on her face. Is this the end?

She was a little resentful. If she had known this, should she have fooled him? How long had it been since she had seen the scenery outside?

She is willing to suffer the pain of being blown by strong winds like cutting flesh and being shaken by spring thunder like scraping bones.

Chen Pingan walked out of the alley, and finally sat on the steps outside a closed door, hugging his knees, and was lost in thought.

I walked past a poorly dressed family of three. The children were innocent and carefree. The woman had red eyes and seemed a little aggrieved. The man smiled apologetically and said nice things. Carrying long strips of meat wrapped in oil paper. But the more attentive the man was, the angrier the woman became. Finally, she simply took her son's hand and left quickly, leaving the man alone.

The man was stooped and a little tired. This time he accompanied his wife back to her parents' home. Several sons-in-law gathered together, including those who worked in the government office, some who worked as teachers in private schools in wealthy families, and of course him. For such a farmer, his father-in-law gave him a gift in return. The other two sons-in-law got pork legs, but he could only get a strip of meat. Naturally, he felt angry, but his wife complained about him. As a man, should he still be a pig? Can't you quarrel in front of your children? After all, is it not that I have no future? The man sighed, and suddenly found a young man with an unfamiliar face squatting at the door not far away. The man straightened up subconsciously, smiled at Chen Pingan, and then trotted towards his wife and children who were walking further and further away.

Chen Ping'an looked at this scene. Although he couldn't understand the language, he was originally from a poor place like Mubo Alley. He was familiar with the bumps and bruises at the bottom of the city and knew the trivial things that slowly wear away people's hearts, so Chen Pingan was Ping An can roughly guess that when the child gets older, he will probably know the hardships of his parents. He may study harder in school, he may smile less, and he may feel that he is upright in his heart. My father, it turns out, is actually a bit useless, and he will be disgusted with his mother, but he may help his father carry the piece of meat on the way home today, and then his parents will reconcile as before. What day is itCan survive.

Both are possible.

Pei Qian was copying books in his room.

After she finished copying the book, she stood quietly at the door, listening to what was going on outside.

I just waited for a long time but didn’t hear the footsteps.

She squatted with her back against the door, looking at her toes.

In the early days, she was not used to walking on mountain roads, and the soles of her feet were covered with blood blisters, and she did not dare to prick them with a thorn.

Someone squatted next to her and helped her to prick the holes one by one, and then applied some mashed herbs to relieve the pain.

While Pei Qian was in a daze, a familiar voice sounded outside the door and asked, "Have you copied the books today?"

Pei Qian immediately jumped up and shouted: "Copying finished!"

The footsteps gradually faded away, and then there was the sound of the door closing quietly next door.
