The first time: a sword across the sky and the stars are cold

The sword points to Fenghua, only saying that it was back then, and the name is Wu'an. Who knows the wind and cold outside?

Iron horse and Jinge, looking back, the sand is like snow. But it is only the sunset shadow reflecting the remnant sun.

Section 1: Chess

The old man held on to the white child, the position of the index finger and the middle finger of his right hand changed each other, shook his head and smiled, and the three brushes of the clear beard swayed slightly with the flick of the falling ground for half a minute, "Smack!".

The middle-aged man playing the game stared at the situation, frowning slightly.

After a few flicks of his fingers, the sunspot fell, but the sound was far less crisp than the white.

The old man only thought for a few seconds, and then responded with white sons.

The middle-aged man twisted his left hand, his brows furrowed even tighter, and the sunspot stayed on his fingertips for a moment before falling.

The old man was silent, and it was another moment, with a white son.

The middle-aged pondered for a long time, took a long breath, stood up and left his position, paced left and right and pondered, his eyes wandering the chess game from time to time.

A rosewood square chess table is placed in the center, with two seats. An old man sits upright, a middle-aged man holds his hand, and a young man stands on the side of the table.

This is a study room designed for chess, surrounded by the fragrance of sandalwood. On the left side there are two large bookshelves made of smoked yellow wood, each of which is divided into seven layers, and each layer is densely packed with scrolls, some of which have turned yellow, and are obviously old. On the right side are also two black wooden shelves, but instead of books, there are two long swords with sheaths, one in front and one behind, one up and one down. The former is as sheath as bronze, simple and heavy, and the latter is as cold and elegant as ice and snow.

The old man raised his head and said to the young man beside him, "If you take the place, where will you go?"

The young man's eyebrows were happy, and he watched from the sidelines for a long time, which made him eager to try and impatient.

The young man peeked at the middle-aged man, and saw that the middle-aged man turned his head to look at himself and bowed his head slightly, and then twisted a sunspot in the index and middle fingers of his right hand, and lightly touched it in the lower right corner of the chessboard.

The middle-aged man smiled and nodded, but did not speak. It's not that he didn't think of this hand, but he just had scruples, so he hesitated. Although this young man's chess skills are high, he has not yet escaped from this cage.

The old man also smiled faintly and said, "It's a good one to avoid the real and attack the false, without losing the lead." Yan'er, if the opponent responds like this, what should you do?"

The boy pondered for a while, and the sunspot fell into the seventh place.

The two of them each have a few pieces, the chess board is slightly full, but the upper left corner is slightly blank, whoever wins this place, will have a few more chances of winning out of thin air. Throughout the game, the black pieces were scattered in the triangle, and they were close to the middle white chess step by step. If you are immersed in chess, you must know that Baizi seems to be sluggish and difficult, but in fact it is like flowing clouds and water, chic and elegant.

The middle-aged man looked at the chessboard, sighed, and said in his heart: "After all, it has become this situation......" The young man sweated on his forehead, his fingertips were also hot, he bit his lip, and said nothing.

"Heh, the son of Shicai is a little greedy for merit, and he is entering a state of madness, so he is stuck in this impasse......" The old man looked at the middle-aged man and asked meaningfully: "Shi Shuai now, is there a solution?"

The middle-aged man shook his head, his expression was not lost, and said with a smile: "Heh, Shi has exhausted his solution, although he knows that the situation must be like this, but there is no way." Brother Yang Dao asked this question, presumably he must have a bamboo in his chest, so why bother selling Guan Zi again!"

The young man immediately picked up all the more than ten children he had placed before, and did not miss anything, and then stepped back respectfully. The middle-aged man was slightly surprised: "This young man is not simple, he actually remembers the chess moves of both the enemy and us." ”

The old man smiled and said to the young man: "If you blindly seek profit, you will be busy for small profits like a villain in the market." If you only have the heart of victory and defeat and forget the great righteousness of chess, will you not mislead people? Jun Yan, if your uncle thinks about what people don't think about, and what pedestrians can't do, you should fall here, don't take the lead, but always take the lead!"

"Smack!"

The sound was like thunder, ringing throughout the room, and it was slightly thrilling.

The middle-aged man and the young man leaned forward, only to see the sunspot falling in the middle of the chessboard, surrounded by black and white, like a sword and a halberd. And the son in the middle is like riding deep, smashing the Yellow Dragon, which is in line with the Jing Ke of the past, lifting a three-inch dagger, and entering the unpredictable Qin. Even though white chess is staring at Zhou, it is like a few wisps of breeze, it is difficult to shake the foundation of the stone, and suddenly the whole game is focused on this point, which can not only save itself, but also attack the enemy to death, which is really wonderful!

"Bang! Bang!" The middle-aged man stroked his palms three times and said with a smile: "It's really a wonderful move! It doesn't lose the name of the chess saint!" He groaned again: "The wind is sluggish and the water is cold, and the strong man is gone and will never return!"

The old man smiled and said, "Senior Brother Wei's son is indeed wonderful, but it is very risky. All chess players are expected to go deep, and they will be controlled by the enemy, but they don't know the wonder of the soldiers, but they are in Siye!"

The young man was stunned when he heard this, but he was faintly aware of it, and savored these words in his heart.

The old man laughed loudly after speaking, and the middle-aged man also laughed in harmony.

After laughing, the old man got up and said, "Shi Shuai, my master and apprentice have been here for a few days, and it's time to set off and return." The middle-aged man was taken aback and said in surprise: "Brother Dao's game is not over yet, why do you want to leave?"

The old man twisted his beard and smiled: "Chess player, humanity, with the pattern as the heaven and earth, black and white are divided into yin and yang, and everything in the universe is collected here." The player wanders in it, and everything is clear at a glance. Heaven and earth are orderly, there are festivals at four times, go with the flow, and know its small and large, light and heavy, virtual and real, and slow, so that those who know chess must know the world, and those who know the world must know people, and they are the top grade. ”

The young man was puzzled and asked, "Then what is a knowledgeable person?"

The old man shook his head and smiled: "This is not for outsiders!" He paused, and then said that Shi Shuai said: "Watch chess and know people, what kind of people, what kind of chess they are in front of." I think that all things in heaven and earth are transformed by yin and yang, both born and complex. The same is true of human temperament and the advance and retreat of chess. If this son guides the temperament of his junior brother, he has already violated the way, and he cannot go astray, and he will fall deeper and deeper. ”

The middle-aged man nodded secretly if he realized. Suddenly, when he saw the old man walking out of the chess room, he could only follow him quickly. The old man was over sixty years old, and although he was the first to walk, no matter how the middle-aged man called Shi Shuai walked, he couldn't even catch up. The middle-aged man was secretly frightened, and saw that the young man was following closely, and he did not fall behind, and he admired his master and apprentice even more.

In less than a moment, the three of them had reached the gate, and Shi Shuai took a step forward and finally extended his body. The old man sighed: "Shi Shuai has a good set of 'frightening steps', the pace is exquisite, but the internal breath is converted quickly, and it is even more exquisite, and the old man admires it." The middle-aged man hurriedly said: "Don't dare, let Brother Dao laugh." As he spoke, he persuaded again: "Brother Dao, wouldn't it be good to stay for a few more days? Shi can also ask for more advice." ”

The old man waved his hand and smiled: "Thank you for your kindness." However, Shi Shuai, Wen Tao, and Wu are not ordinary people. Papers, poor poetry, poor chess is not proficient, isn't it ugly? On martial arts, Shi Shuai is a family of his own, the court is not right, how dare the old man get an axe?"

The middle-aged man was inconvenient to stop him, so he had to say with a straight face: "Since this is the case, please teach me Brother Dao!"

The old man stopped, and then sighed lightly: "Okay, Shi Shuai knows the situation well, but he has no way to retreat, either because he is not wise, but because he is not strong." There is only one sentence in the poor way, you must know, 'Victory is defeat, defeat is also victory, victory and defeat are not divided, it is all up to your heart.'" Shi Shuai can figure it out on his own. ”

The middle-aged man was stunned, his body was half retreating, and he sighed, his expression was already gloomy.

The old man pondered for a while, and suddenly said: "Otherwise, if the big handsome man is not too clumsy and stubborn, the old man will stay in the house, so that he can see the world?" Shi Shuai was overjoyed and said busily: "Great, I can get the disciple to talk freely, good!"

The young man was slightly surprised when he heard this, and he didn't understand what the old man and the middle-aged man were talking about, and he was sent here for no reason at this moment, and he couldn't help but ask in confusion: "Master, I ...... it."

The old man smiled: "Jun Yan, you haven't been to this Beijing city, you might as well delay for a few more days and then return to the mountain by yourself." I don't know why, the young man naturally refused: "But the senior sister is still ......"

"Hehe, that girl, don't pay attention to ......" The old man stepped forward and whispered in his ear: "This Shi Dashuai is the general of the imperial court Qinfeng Zhenshuo, a master in the world, if you have to be instructed, you will benefit for life!"

The young man's eyes lit up, and he secretly thought: "Then stay in this general's mansion for a few more days, will you not be so defeated under the sword of your senior sister after returning to the mountain?" The old man saw that his face was a little happy, and knew what was on his mind, so he continued to whisper: "If you are studious, it is not surprising that you will be better than her after returning to the mountain!" Although the young man's expression was shocked, he was stunned because the master had peeked into his mind, so he had to nod, but immediately shook his head.

The old man laughed and ignored him, and said loudly to the stone handsome: "Then say goodbye!"

Shi Shuai no longer retained, and sent the young man off in person, until he returned a hundred steps outside the house.

But said that this Shi Shuai is a native of Weinan, a single name and a dedicated word, when he was a teenager, he worshiped Shaolin monks as a teacher, his lay disciples, and also the Shi family generals, he has a unique skill, and he is very smart, so he learned the two martial arts very proficiently. Later, he served as a general with martial arts, and he was the Northern Imperial Tatar and Wara, and he made outstanding achievements and was awarded the Marquis of Wuqing. Not only the people in the DPRK and China admire him, but even the people in the rivers and lakes have great respect for him.

And that old man is none other than Yang Muyun, the head of the Kunlun faction in the Western Regions.

Kunlun in the martial arts and Shaolin, Wudang, Emei and called the four major factions, its founding ancestor because of the age is no longer examinable. The disciples of Kunlun have lived in the Western Regions for a long time, and rarely enter the Middle Earth. Until the previous dynasty, a patriarch surnamed He shook the martial arts with the three unique powers of "qin, sword and chess", and Kunlun was spread in the rivers and lakes, so Kunlun was also divided into these three doors. Among them, the "Qin Saint" He Shu Aiqin, and the "Chess Saint" Wei Zhenyan love chess, both of whom do not like the chaos of the rivers and lakes and live all over the world, so the head of the house is taken over by the second "Sword Saint" Yang Muyun.

That young man is Yang Muyun's second disciple Mo Junyan.

Yang Muyun has been gone for a long time, but Shi Xian is still leaning in front of the mansion and thinking deeply, probably recalling Yang Muyun's unfathomable words. Shi Dashuai was originally a pillar of the imperial court, and he should not have to worry about being difficult to send, but now, he encountered an extremely difficult matter, so he asked the people in the rivers and lakes for advice. Yang Muyun was originally traveling down the mountain with his apprentices, and happened to pass through Beijing, and his junior brother Wei Xinyan had a hand talk with Shi Xian, so he visited.

After touching a stick of incense, Shi Xian cleared his thoughts, breathed a long sigh of relief, and whispered to himself: "Even so, what can be done?" He didn't care about Mo Junyan's uncertain expression, and took him back to the study.

While Mo Junyan was pondering in Shi Xian, he also secretly recalled the conversation between the master and this Shi Shuai, and vaguely guessed some clues, but he had no clue what to do now. But then I thought about it: "Master said, this Shi Shuai is a master of martial arts, if I can ask him for advice, I can benefit immensely, I don't know if it's true or not?" Thinking about this, ******** thought about the last sentence of the master before leaving, and his mind was even more impatient, and before he could ...... study, he asked him for advice: "Shi Dashuai, the younger generation once heard that the master of the family had a saying, saying that the master is a master of Shaolin layman, and the internal and external skills are superb, and the younger generation has a question when practicing, and I hope to ."

"Oh?" When Shi Xian heard him say this, he knew what he meant, so he laughed and said, "I don't want to leave the master in vain, but be more diligent." The children can be taught, and the children can be taught!"

Mo Junyan didn't know whether he meant praise or sarcasm in what he said, so he dared to say it again, so he had to stand still on the spot.
