Chapter 238: Only by heart
Qin Jishi spoke, turned his head and looked at the chessboard that had been laid out. www.biquge.infoSuddenly, his eyes flashed seriously and he looked at the chessboard for a long time, and after a long time, he said with a smile: "It seems that the junior brother has no intention of playing chess with me?" ”
"Senior brother, why did you say that?" Ke Huaigu stroked his beard when he heard this, raised his eyes to meet Qin Jishi's eyes looking at him, and replied with a smile.
"The winner and loser on this game have been decided, where is the need to play further?"
"Not really, right? Since I let my senior brother choose any side, it is natural that both black and white have a chance of winning. ”
"Oh? Could it be that the junior brother's chess skills have improved again? How can I see only one ending? ”
"Senior brother, you are too anxious. I remember that the master said before, this game of chess is the same as life, before the last move, where is the absolute win or loss? ”
"Since you're so sure, junior brother, let's give it a try. It stands to reason that I am a senior brother, and I should always leave the convenience to my junior brother, but junior brother, you are the home field, and this chess game looks very interesting, senior brother, I also want to see how you saved the sunspot. This time, I won't be too humble, I choose Baizi, do you think it's okay? ”
"But it's up to the senior brother to decide. According to the chess game, the next son should be the senior brother, you please. After Ke Huaigu finished speaking, Ping stretched out his right hand and made a "please" gesture to Qin Jishi.
Qimo stood aside and listened to all the conversations between the two, he secretly rolled his eyes, and thought to himself: "Here it is again, why did these two start to play dumb riddles as soon as they started playing chess, they are so old and so mysterious, they are really not tired." ”
Qin Jishi did what he said, but he really didn't be polite to Ke Huaigu. I saw him holding a white piece in his right hand, and after seeing a position falling, he looked up at Ke Huaigu, as if he had to sell cheaply, and said as if he had something to say: "Sometimes this game of chess is the same as making a move, how much effort is consumed in the early stage, it can be shown on the chessboard in the later stage." If you add the ability of the two to be equal, this early stage has the first hand, and it is naturally easier to win than those who want to turn the situation around halfway. ”
Ke Huaigu listened to Qin Jishi's words, indifferently picked up a sunspot, and after thinking for a long time, he replied without being humble or arrogant: "What Senior Brother said is naturally reasonable, but this game of chess is not ordinary, the more you plan in the early stage, the easier it is to show flaws, and as long as you are careful in the later stage, you will not be able to seize the opportunity to counterattack." Do you think I'm right? ”
Of course, Qin Jishi understood what Ke Huaigu was talking about, but he was not worried, and after dropping a son easily, he replied with some pride: "Senior brother, you still have the same temper that does not admit defeat." Although the words are reasonable, but we must also judge the situation, as far as the current chessboard is concerned, the white son I hold has an advantage everywhere, and if the junior brother has to go his own way, I am afraid that he will lose very badly. ”
"I don't think so, although white seems to be stronger than black, but there is a fatal omission, which must be seen clearly by the senior brother. If white wants to make up for this omission, there are at least six steps in a row, as long as black chess catches this omission and does not give white a chance to breathe, maybe the latecomer will prevail, the outcome is still unknown, don't believe it, brother, take a look at it again? After Ke Huaigu finished speaking, after he fell down in a dashing manner, he looked at Qin Jishi's face again, and it was really a lot ugly for a moment.
Qin Jishi didn't want to believe his eyes, and after Ke Huaigu's son fell, he actually broke the original path of white chess. Looking at the chessboard now, both sides really have a chance to win. Qin Jishi couldn't sit still, he thought about the wit in Ke Huai's ancient words, and while continuing to play chess, he said coldly: "Senior brother is really a good method, it seems that I underestimated you before." However, although you have the ability to turn things around, you are too sharp, and I am starting to pay attention. I admit that the white son has lost the absolute advantage it had before, but it still has more chances to win than the black seed. You and I are evenly matched, and if we focus on this game from here, I'm still more likely to win than you. ”
Ke Huaigu had to admit that Qin Jishi was right. He had only studied this game two or three times before, and he didn't know every move by heart. Qin Jishi's son just now was different from his previous casual attitude, so if he talked about the odds, he had no bottom in his heart. If Qin Jishi's victory was because of White's previous advantage, then the only advantage that Ke Huaigu had was because he knew a little more about this chess game. But is there only one way to win or lose chess? Chess is also a common thing. Just like what the two of them said now, Ke Huaigu's purpose has never been to let Qin Jishi lose, as long as he doesn't win, this game will be beautiful by himself!
Thinking like this, Ke Huaigu picked up a sunspot and stared at the chess surface for 20 minutes, and the chess ink was almost settled when he stood next to him, and he didn't see any further moves from his master. On the contrary, Qin Jishi drank the tea unhurriedly, and he was not in a hurry to urge Ke Huaigu, and the smile on his face faintly had a posture that could not be hidden. But just when he thought he was winning, Ke Huaigu suddenly dropped the sunspot in his hand, raised his head and no longer looked at the chess surface, but said calmly to Qin Jishi: "Senior brother, do you still think so now?" ”
Hearing this, Qin Jishi looked at the chessboard, and his face was cloudy for a moment. Ke Huaigu didn't play in the direction he wanted to win at all, he didn't want to make up for the original disadvantage of black, and only used it for the purpose of blocking white. According to this method, it is difficult for both black and white sides to win dignity, and in the end it must be a miserable defeat, and no one can take advantage. Could it be that Ke Huaigu wants to fight hard and break the net, and he doesn't let himself be satisfied?
Ke Huaigu saw that Qin Jishi was silent for a long time, and his eyebrows became more and more solemn, and now he finally took a sip of tea in a leisurely manner, and said leisurely: "Senior brother, don't blame me for making a strange move, Bai Zi has planned for too long and the odds are too strong, if I win or lose, how dare I compete with my senior brother?" But if I just don't want to lose, it's much easier. If Bai Zi wants to keep his original advantage, he naturally has a lot of concerns, and it is a pity to abandon some of the roads that have been paved. But there is no way out for my sunspot who has been suppressed, this is the biggest chance of winning, I don't have the possibility of winning, and naturally I don't have the ambition to win, if I don't want to win the beauty and drag down the white, it's still very possible, right, senior brother? ”
There has never been a moment when Qin Jishi hated Ke Huaigu as much as he did now. You can't win and you fight hard to prevent others from winning, this kind of mentality of "harming others and not benefiting yourself" should not have been Ke Huaigu, it seems that he still forced him to be anxious, and some things can't be said anymore. Qin Jishi was not in a hurry to play chess, but played with the white piece in his hand for a while, as if he had finally made up his mind, and raised his head to look at Ke Huaigu. Although there is still a warm smile on his face, it makes people detect a trace of ruthlessness. I could only hear Qin Jishi's tone soft but threatening: "Senior brother, you play chess like this, don't blame senior brother." Playing chess is a win or loser, and winning is certainly a win, but losing is also decent. This game of junior brother let me take the lead, a few differences are not very fair, even if you lose, junior brother, it is still glorious even if you lose, why bother to get along with Baizi? Isn't it better to lose a few fewer sons than to lose both? Or what are your intentions, junior brother, you might as well say it clearly, maybe there is still a discussion, don't hurt the harmony between you and me for decades because of a game of chess. It's already at this age, can't you do it? ”
Qin Jishi was forced to let go of his cruel words, and Ke Huaigu knew in his heart that there were some things that could not be avoided after all. Looking back on the past few decades, both of them have never been ignorant of the world, and they have become important old men in Puritanism today. I still remember that year, Qin Jishi stood at the door of the main hall of the Shangqing Sect, waited until Ke Huaigu finished the apprenticeship, walked up to him, pulled Ke Huaigu with his white and fat little hands, and said seriously: "You are a new junior brother, right?" My name is Qin Jishi, we are the same master, I am older than you, I am a senior brother. In the future, you will call me senior brother, and if anyone bullies you, you will tell me, and I will protect you. That was the first warmth that Ke Huaigu felt when he came to the Upper Qing Sect, Qin Jishi said so, and he did the same for a long time afterward. Once upon a time, when Ke Huaigu thought of Qin Jishi, he felt that it was good to have a senior brother to protect him. But when I look at it today, I can't stop sighing, if life is only as first seen!
Ke Huaigu's eyes had a touch of sadness that did not match his age, and he stared at Qin Jishi for a long time without blinking, and then said with some difficulty: "Senior brother, you and I have been in the same family for decades, don't you know me?" You also said that you have reached this age, what is there to fight for? You ask me what I want, what I ask for is the continuous incense of Puritanism, what I ask is not to kill each other between the same sect, what I ask is that after you and I return to old age for a hundred years, this Puritanism is still a clear faction, and there will be children as clean as you and I were at the beginning, standing side by side in Puritanism, supporting each other to learn art together, and grow together. Senior brother, life is only a hundred years, even if you have ambitions, there are always places that are difficult to reach. If you ruin the current peaceful status quo for the sake of a better vision for the future, is it worth it? Senior brother is not enough to do Taoism, it is still difficult to have an epiphany, senior brother, you are a Taoist method, your talent is extremely high, I hope that the senior brother will think twice, and you can see through the fame. Ke Huaigu spoke, stood up, bowed his shoulders to Qin Jishi, and clasped his fists with both hands, which was the courtesy of the junior brother to the senior brother when he first entered the sect.
Ke Huaigu's words Qin Jishi was not completely unmoved, and in a certain second, there was also a trace of inexplicable sentimentality and fatigue in Qin Jishi's appreciation, but it was only for a second. Decades of desire, more than ten years of calculations, how can others wake up and see through it in just a few words? However, Ke Huaigu is now giving this big gift to himself, and there is an unknown junior disciple standing next to him, which makes Qin Jishi quite embarrassed, he can only quickly stand up, help Ke Huaigu up, and pretend to blame and say: "Senior brother, this is tormenting me, you and I are both old bones of this age, you salute at every turn, what does the junior look like?" It's time to let others arrange me as a senior brother to take the shelf. When Qin Jishi said this, he glanced at the chess ink standing next to him pretending to be like a sculpture. It's not that Qimo didn't receive Qin Jishi's intention to retire first, it's just that Qimo is a very dead-eyed child, and he worships Ke Huaigu as his teacher, so naturally he only listens to Ke Huaigu's words. At this time, his master didn't say anything, and besides, listening to the conversation between the two of them is quite mysterious, in case he just left on the front foot, and the two of them fought on the back foot, there must be a fight. I am a junior, and I am pestle next to him, although the master is usually not so famous, but Qin Jishi is a person who is extremely humble and kind in the sect, I don't believe that I am standing here, you two are really anxious. Thinking so, Qi Mo pretended not to see Qin Jishi's gaze, still motionless, without the slightest intention of evading.
Qin Jishi thought in his heart, why are the disciples around Ke Huaigu so blind? But the words were always difficult to say, so he could only caress Ke Huaigu and sit back down, pretending to be innocent and saying, "Senior brother, you are too sensitive. I'm just talking about the game of chess we are playing right now, how did you get involved in the foundation of Puritanism? You and I are both disciples of the Upper Puritans, and we have grown up together on this mountain for decades, so who else doesn't look forward to it? I came to you today, just to be idle and bored, to have a good time, and I have no other thoughts. All you have to do is tell me what you want in this game, so why bother thinking so much? If you do this again, I don't dare to discuss the chess number with you, this will be known by others, but it is not good to say. ”
When Ke Huaigu heard Qin Jishi say this, he knew that he couldn't listen to what he said at all. Anyway, everything that needs to be said has been said, and it is useless to talk about it. Since Qin Jishi wants to make a statement by using the chess game, he might as well use the chess game to explain to him, which can be regarded as saving each other's face. Thinking like this, Ke Huaigu pondered for a while, smiled and said: "I didn't think about it that much, but I listened to a lot of words from my senior brother, and inadvertently remembered some interesting things when I first entered Puritanism. This person, as soon as he gets older, he is willing to be blind and sad, and I hope that my senior brother will not be surprised. Since my brother asked me about this chess game, and the left and right sides are just games, I might as well tell my brother some of my thoughts on the remnants of this game. White has a winning side, and if black wants to win or lose in the same way as white, it will definitely be much more difficult than white. But sometimes winning or losing in chess is between thoughts, if I hold black from the shot to run to the chess, there are still many vacant seats on the chess surface, if I fight all my energy just to prevent the original number of white chess to succeed, I don't need my black to strive for the future consummation, but the senior brother can not help but maintain the advantage of the white chess before the accumulation of hard to win. So if you look at it this way, maybe in the end, the black and white draw is unknown. Senior brother, my chess skills are not as good as yours, and it is enough for me to be secretly proud of being able to fight in a draw at a disadvantage under my senior brother. I don't know how I want to play this game of chess, but for me, isn't playing chess just a peace of mind after trying my best? So in this game of chess, as a junior and younger brother, I don't want to win or lose, I just rely on my own heart. (To be continued.) )
