Chapter 65: Is This an Adventure?
Not long after Wang Xiu left, Old Man Li's son asked strangely:
"Dad, isn't that what you often say about the token given to you by some ancient Go genius? You said that after you find a spiritual Go genius, you can take this thing to him, why did you give it to that person so easily, and it is a person who is suspected of being a second devil." Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info"
"Can't you tell if he's a second devil?"
"Uh...... Dad, it doesn't look like it, but even if he isn't, you shouldn't give him that thing so easily, I remember seven years ago, Uncle Zhang said that the copper coin may be a valuable Five Emperors coin. β
"You know a fart! It's not the reason why you're not a filial son, Gu Weiqi doesn't want to learn, and my good grandson, how a clever baby he was when he was a child, it's a good material to learn Go, you just let him go to the United States to study and study, what kind of chicken to learn......"
"Dad, that's called computer, and it's the most lacking science and technology project talent in the country now. β
"I don't care if you're a drunken chicken or a garlic chicken! I don't want to learn the inheritance of ancient Chinese culture, go and learn what kind of foreigner stuff, my grandson, how smart and good a baby, if I was asked to take him from an early age, I think he will definitely be able to get the inheritance of that strange person...... Ay...... Anyway, children and grandchildren don't have this blessing, and it's useless for me to say more. β
"Dad, don't be angry, Dad, you haven't said why you gave him that token so easily. The middle-aged man muttered in his heart, if you really learn Go, it would be fine, and becoming a professional chess player can be regarded as a person in the national system, but you are an ancient Go, who learns that thing in modern times, what's the use? Modern Go can still support his family and make money by becoming a professional chess player. What can Gu Go do? That is, you can't eat or drink, and you can't even feed yourself. If my son learns this from you, he probably won't even be able to marry a daughter-in-law.
"You don't understand, that strange man can see through people's hearts, he takes this token, if there is no evil intention, if there is, or if he is born as a second devil and wants to steal the cultural inheritance of China, hum, he will not live for three days. "As the saying goes, people are going to die, and their words are also good, this old man Li is fine, if Wang Xiu has no bad intentions, he wants to learn ancient Go, this is a chance to give him, and if he has a bad heart, just send this little rabbit cub to the west!
"This ...... Is it that kind of strange person?" The middle-aged man doesn't believe in what can see through people's hearts, I think it's an exaggerated metaphor from the old father, as for not living for three days? The middle-aged man remembered what he had encountered more than 20 years ago, at that time, he remembered that he was still a Red Guard, and there was once a Red Guard in the team who maliciously persecuted a goddess who was criticized as the dregs of feudalism, and the woman was bullied by this person in her sixties, and the whole family was forced to commit suicide by jumping into the river, and she was not alive anymore.
After that, there was no after, the middle-aged people never took the initiative to persecute those strange people after that, and later after the reform and opening up, I once told my father about it, and my father didn't say anything but sighed and said, after the founding of the People's Republic of China or something......
"It's not that kind of strange person, it's something else, if I can ...... Hey, maybe you won't die so early......" Old Man Li didn't want to talk about it anymore, so he sat back beside Go gloomily and looked at the chess game.
A few months later, he died at home because he insisted on not going to chemotherapy to continue his life.
Wang Xiu didn't know that if he hadn't come, after Old Man Li died, his token would have been left to his grandson, perhaps, that would be another story.
After coming to another alley, Wang Xiu felt like he was playing an RPG role-playing game from another world, and lo and behold, the mute old man who played the erhu in front of him didn't say anything, and after taking the copper coin, he actually took out a game of Go, but he signaled that he wanted to have a game with him.
"Are you another strange person who studied ancient Chinese Go that Old Man Li said?"
The dumb old man shook his head, but he didn't say anything, nonsense, he was dumb, and he couldn't speak!
He just pointed to Go again and began to lay out the pieces on the board.
"Sir, shouldn't we divide the pieces first? Why did you set up the chess pieces first...... Uh, this is the seat system of ancient Chinese Go?"
It turned out that the mute old man placed two black, two white and four pieces on the chessboard, each of which was placed in the position of the diagonal star, which was the seat system, and the role was to limit the opponent's advantage to the greatest extent.
It is difficult to verify when it originated, but it has been proven that it was prevalent at least in the Eastern Han Dynasty about 2,000 years ago.
There is another rule that is, white first and then black.
The two most obvious points that distinguish modern Go from ancient Go are the changes in the rules of these two places, the former, the seat system was abolished, and the latter, from white first to black, to black first and then white.
It is said that there is another rule called returning the head of chess, which is a unique term for the ancient Go and the Ming and Qing dynasties, but this rule is not ancient, at least not thousands of years ago, so it cannot be regarded as the representative rule of ancient Go.
"Well, I'm sorry, sir, I only know a little about the rules of ancient Go, but I really can't, I ......"
The mute old man didn't speak, he couldn't speak, he just pointed to the chessboard again and handed him a box of white seeds.
"Okay. Wang Xiu sat down, picked up the white zi, and began to play chess.
An hour and a half later, the chess game ended, Wang Xiu wiped his sweat, and there was not much surprise in the result, he lost, and because it was an ancient game of Go, even the rules had changed, except for knowing that the mid-game battle killing was unchanged, the others didn't know much, so he couldn't even see how many pieces he lost.
After all, the ancient rules of Go determine the winner and the defeat is 'zi', while the modern rules of Go are 'mu', and the calculation methods are different.
There are so many differences from the opening rules, to the algorithm, to the number or number, the difference between modern Go and ancient Go is too great, it is simply the difference between basketball and football, the only thing that is the same is probably that they are both called 'balls', and they are all called 'Go'.
"Ahem...... You are very young, and what is even more rare is that you have not been spoiled by modern Go, and your chess skills are not bad, and you are qualified to meet your master. β
The mute old gentleman suddenly coughed softly, and began to speak, with a jerky voice in his voice, as if he had not spoken again for decades.
"You, you're not dumb. Wang Xiu was stunned.
"I just don't say it often. The mute old man stepped forward, stared at a dead fish-like godless eye, looked at Wang Xiu and said.
"Before that, I hadn't spoken for seventeen years, and the person who could make me speak either died or became my junior brother, boy, you are very lucky, come with me. β
The person who can make you speak will either die? or become your junior disciple? Wang Xiu was frightened by the mute old man, this old man didn't feel anything just now, but now he feels that the evil sect is tight.
Safety first, safety first! Safety first is the most basic requirement of Wang Xiu.
"That, what, old man, I'm a little inconvenient today, I'll ...... today" Wang Xiu plans to delay a while and stay away from this evil old man, this guy shouldn't have a mental problem, right?
"Then it's up to you, you took the token, and passed my level, so you can only let the master decide. β
As soon as the mute old man's voice fell, Wang Xiu only felt a flower in front of him, and the old man grabbed the back of his neck with one hand, as if his palm moved, or his fingers trembled, and then he was numb all over, and he couldn't use any strength.
The old man lifted and pulled with one hand, holding the erhu in his left hand, and his more than 100-pound body in his right hand, just like carrying a chicken, turned around, lightly jumped, jumped out of the alley wall, and the whirring wind pounced on his face, the speed was too fast, and he couldn't see the surrounding scenery clearly, only knowing that the dumb old man seemed to have only walked two or three steps with him, but it was these two or three steps, a flower in front of him, had come out of the deep alley, and turned into another alley, and then a flower in front of him, and a flower, and then a flower, and then a flower, and a flower in front of him, like sitting on a high-speed train and looking at the scenery outside the window, but it was more blurred than thatγ
Wang Xiu's eyes were about to be dizzy, but incredible thoughts flashed wildly in his mind, flashing such words.
Strange people, one step and dozens of meters, shrinking into inches?
Is this an adventure?
