The First Volume: Eight Desolation Martial Veins Chapter 11: The Cycle of Three Tribulations
The middle-aged man who was fiddling with the chess game heard the voice, immediately stopped the movement of the falling piece in his hand, and looked up at the old man in the tunic suit.
"Ten dollars in the game, if you lose or draw, give me a hundred, if I lose, give you a hundred and return the entry fee. The middle-aged man seemed to have an extraordinary identity, and he had some stage fright, but when he thought of what the other party's identity had to do with himself, he regained his indifference.
"Yes. The old man understood this, after all, they all came out to set up stalls.
Paying the money and competing for the first, the middle-aged man is in black, and his hands are in the upper right five, which means that from the perspective of the middle-aged man, the position of the fourth row in the fifth row in the upper right corner of the chessboard, the old man smiled and dropped the first-hand white son in the lower left four or five positions.
On the side, Zhao Feng couldn't understand the chess game at all, but a picture unconsciously appeared in his mind:
Under a lonely peak, two battle flags, black and white, were raised one after another.
Under the black flag is a heavily armored general, holding a war horse and a treasure sword, ready to attack.
Under the white flag, there is an old man in a plain robe, with a smile on the corner of his mouth, a paper feather fan, and a light breeze.
Suddenly, a war drum sounded in Zhao Feng's ears, and as the two people in the game showed their hands and feet, the picture in Zhao Feng's mind also changed synchronously.
The five horsemen of the Black Flag Army came out side by side, fully heavily armed, and the sound of battle roared into the sky, and the momentum was like a raging wind.
On the other hand, the White Flag Army, the four cavalry went into battle lightly, although they lost the opportunity, they won in dexterity, avoiding their edge, and the two armies were at a stalemate for a while.
"Hissββ!!"
But I saw a white horse galloping from the rear of the Black Flag Army, a fierce general on horseback, dressed in silver and bright, holding a sharp spear, as fast as a dragon, rushed into the five horsemen of the Black Army, severely damaged its head, and formed a flank counterattack with the four horsemen of the White Flag Army in front of the battle, and gained the upper hand in the battle!
With only one face, the Black Flag Army no longer had the advantage of being the first move, so it immediately turned from attack to defense, backed the mountain as a base, strengthened the defense line, and did not dare to cross the thunder pool by half a step!
Zhao Feng stared at the chess game, and suddenly, a strong impulse prompted him to have the idea of stepping forward to lead the Black Flag Army, that impulse became stronger and stronger, and finally, Zhao Feng's eyes began to hallucinate: the illusion of a sunspot appeared on the chessboard, and the illusion fell on Tian Yuan, from Zhao Feng's point of view, a sunspot appeared out of thin air at Tian Yuan in the middle of the chessboard, but the two people who were playing against each other didn't seem to see the sunspot.
"What's going on...... Why do I have this hallucination...... Be...... Is the bamboo tube influencing me? The bamboo tube wants me to play the black game instead of it?" Zhao Feng gritted his teeth to resist the inexplicable impulse in his heart, and gradually, he began to find that his fingers would make uncontrollable subtle movements to pinch the chess pieces, and there were more and more sunspots appearing out of thin air on the chessboard, and Zhao Feng soon couldn't distinguish which sunspots in his field of vision were real and which were made by illusion.
A drop of sweat was left from Zhao Feng's forehead, and he now used his whole body to resist the influence of the bamboo tube, but the more he resisted, the more real the illusion became, and gradually, Zhao Feng began to see a deeper illusion: he walked to the position of the middle-aged man and replaced it......
Zhao Fengyi thought that his body was being manipulated by the bamboo tube, but as he suddenly came back to his senses, he realized that what he had just seen was an illusion.
It's like being woken up by an alarm clock every morning when I go to school, and in a trance, it's like seeing myself get up to brush my teeth and wash my face, but after a while, I find myself still lying in bed.
"No...... If I continue like this, my body will be completely controlled......" Zhao Feng struggled to put his eager hands into his trouser pockets, and then urged the leather veins, so that the leather surface of the palms of his hands bulged, so as to restrict his movements.
At this time, there were already many people who knew how to play Go to come over to watch, and Bai Ze was also among them, and for a while, no one noticed Zhao Feng's strangeness.
"Three Tribulation Cycle!
Suddenly, such a shout erupted among the onlookers.
The "robbery" of Go, also known as "robbery", in Zhao Feng's impression, is two connected "ten" characters, and then the black and white sides take turns to eat each other's "ten" chess pieces in the center, as long as one party does not give up, the robbery will continue endlessly.
If the sub in the center of the "ten" character of the two sides is called "robbery eye", the ordinary robbery is "double robbery eye", and the cycle of three robbery has "three robbery eyes", and the three eyes take turns to eat each other, which is a very rare situation in a normal Go game.
Zhao Feng can understand the robbery, and with a little reasoning, he can roughly understand the meaning of the "Three Tribulations Cycle", but his attention is not on expectation, at this moment, in the fantasy in his mind, a cruel melee is going on:
The Black Flag Army is in decline, backed by the mountains, and the defense line is impermeable.
Although the White Flag Army is divided into two routes, flanking from the left and right, although the number is superior, but in order to minimize the loss of troops, give up the frontal hard break, and instead use attrition to encroach on the Black Flag Army's defense line, although this decision will make their own side lose troops all the time, but in the end the total loss of troops will be far less than the result of the frontal hard break.
The two armies were deadlocked, and when the offensive and defense reached a certain critical point, the losses of both sides were completely fixed, and the battlefield became three "whirlpools."
The Black Flag Army is a large vortex that rotates clockwise.
The left vortex is clockwise, cutting from the right side of the black army, and the cutting point happens to be the key position for the black army to withdraw the soldiers who have been fighting for a long time to rest after the army, and it is also the weakest point, so the white flag army has the advantage.
The right vortex cut counterclockwise, cutting from the left side of the black army, just blocking the well-rested forces of the black army on the way to the front line, which occupied the most intense position, because the forces of both sides were in the best condition.
At the junction of the left and right whirlpools, it also happened to be handed over to the front line of the black army in the big whirlpool, and the black army's defense line was impregnable.
With heavy casualties on both sides, no stratagem was useless......
"Haha! It's really a cycle of three tribulations! Young man, this game is settled. The old man suddenly laughed and proposed a draw, and judging by the expression on his face, this game of chess could be regarded as having fun.
"Hmm......" The middle-aged man nodded, and sighed slightly in his heart, in fact, both of them knew that the old man's chess strength was better, even if he abandoned the cycle of three tribulations, he could start anew, if he insisted on playing until the end, there was a high probability that the old man would win.
At this time, the chess draw avoids the embarrassing situation, and you can still earn a hundred, why not?
The bodyguard next to the old man took out a brand-new hundred-dollar bill and handed it to the middle-aged man.
Unexpectedly, at the moment when the middle-aged man took the banknote, a clear sound of falling children rushed out from the chessboard!
"Tuk!"
"The black chess piece has fallen! It's Tian Yuan!"
"Whose son did you fall?"
"I kept staring at the chessboard, and I didn't see anyone dropping, the sunspot, it was like ...... It's like it came out of nowhere!"
There was a commotion around them, and even some people who didn't know how to play Go were attracted by the movement coming from here.
The old man frowned, immediately got up, bowed his hand to the crowd, and asked, "Which chess friend made a move?" If you have the heart to play, please show up, and the old man should accompany you!"
No one responded at the scene, the old man's brows locked deeper, he looked at the Tianyuan sunspot in the middle of the chess game, the previous battle was around the "star" at the bottom left of the chessboard, and now, the sunspot fell into Tianyuan, which is equivalent to giving up all the territory under the left to Baizi, it can be said that this hand Tianyuan is worse than the hand Tianyuan!
The so-called "star" refers to the eight eye-catching small black dots in the corner of the chessboard, and the ninth small black dot in the center is Tian Yuan.
"People who can fall without anyone noticing, obviously secretly falling are not ordinary, and if they are on a whim, they will not make a move...... If you know how to play chess, why do you still play this hand of Tianyuan? There is no foreshadowing or echo at all...... Could it be that the other party boasts that he is superb in chess and wants to humiliate me with this?" the old man thought a lot, in fact, he could have left just yet, but once he left, he might have missed the opportunity to play against a Go master.
The old man pondered for a moment, and finally sat down, Bai Zi made up for the robbery eye, and the situation of the cycle of three tribulations was broken!
"Tuk!"
On the chessboard, a sunspot reappeared out of thin air, and this time, dozens of pairs of eyes witnessed it and were shocked......
"Oh? Bai Ze in the crowd muttered, and his attention was completely focused on the chessboard, not noticing that Zhao Feng on the periphery of the crowd had already sat down.
At this moment, in Zhao Feng's mind, the battlefield of Go, the whirlpool of the Black Flag Army stopped running, and the White Flag Army took advantage of the situation to seize the initiative with the momentum of encirclement and suppression.
It can be said that the surroundings of Lone Peak are already the world of the White Flag Army!
And hundreds of miles away from the main battlefield, a Tianyuan Peak, floating down a shadow, the clothes are partial, the temperament is like a fairy, out of thin air, he sees the battle situation outside, a divine soldier descends from the sky, and has the ambition of his own strength and thousands of troops and horses.
The advantage of the White Flag Army is in the Lonely Peak, although it has noticed the sudden rise of Tianyuan Peak, but the other party has not yet become a climate, take this opportunity to stabilize the situation around Lonely Peak, and wait for no worries, and then in the best state, face the Tianyuan Alien Army!
"The core of Go is to encircle the territory, and now I have a star land, and you use Tian Yuan as a basis, it seems that you have a full view of the world, but in fact, you have let yourself fall into a passive situation on all sides, and it is too late to arrange troops at this time!" The old man was indeed angered by that hand of Tian Yuan, and at this time the chess game was already in his hands, and no matter how the person in the dark behaved, it was impossible to turn the tables.
However, Tian Yuan's different army does not mean to arrange the whole army, even the number of children is far away from each other, there is not even a trace of connection, it seems to be done at will, the older the old man goes, the slower the fall, he can't see through the opponent's thoughts, and even has a kind of illusion: he seems to be playing against a child who doesn't know how to play for him.
"Incomprehensible...... I really can't understand it...... What is the point of playing like this? This person doesn't know how to play chess at all!" The old man became more and more angry, he thought at first that he had not seen through the opponent's hidden conspiracy, but as time went by, the opponent still did not show the slightest intention, and those scattered chess pieces were lonely and helpless, and there was only one way to die!
Although the old man was angry, he still did not dare to relax his vigilance, and still methodically expanded his advantages.
And just after Tian Yuan took over the sunspot, more than twenty hands, the old man began to sense that something was wrong.
"No! There is a conspiracy! Although I still don't see the clue, there must be a conspiracy in this situation! It's weird...... It's weird...... "The old man started to attack, he didn't want to give his opponent any more time.
"Tuk!"
"Da!"
Black and white fell one after another, and the originally vague situation gradually became clear, but at the moment when it first saw the beginning, it reversed all the situation.
"Whoa......
The old man let go of the dozen chess pieces in his left hand, and stared at the anticipation with a dull face, and after a long time, he reluctantly threw the white pieces twisted in his right hand back into the chess box, and said solemnly:
"I admit defeat. β
