Soon, after slowly touring like this, savoring some beautiful scenery and historical atmosphere, Chu Peng and the others came to the entrance of the village, and saw a group of people under the old tree from a distance, Chu Peng, who had been living in the village for a long time, of course knew that they were playing chess.

After all, there are no modern televisions, computers and other things in the village, so they have very few fun activities, although they say that they have something to do, but there is always a time when things are done, so chess has become an important entertainment activity for them.

However, Chu Peng knew that the old man and the others didn't know, so he asked, "Xiao Chu, what are they doing there with a bunch of people?" ”

"Oh, playing chess." Chu Peng replied without thinking about it.

Hearing Chu Peng's answer, the old man's eyes obviously showed a very interested look, and he muttered in his mouth: "Play chess, play chess is good, let's go and have a look." ”

So, several people went together, but the closer they got closer, the more strange Chu Peng felt. Although it is rare to speak loudly in chess here, it is not so much that there is no sound at all, so it is really strange why you can't hear the sound of discussion at all today.

With doubts in their hearts, Chu Peng and the others walked into the crowd, only to find that what they were playing today was not chess, but Go. This couldn't help but surprise Chu Peng.

Although it is said that Xiangqi and Go are both traditional national cultures in our country, and both have a long history, if you really talk about it, it is still Go.

Go, originated in China, called Yi in ancient China, can be said to be the originator of chess in the entire ancient chess category, and has a history of more than 4,000 years. According to the Shiben, Go was created by Yao. Jin Zhanghua also said in the "Naturalist Chronicles": "Shun is foolish with his sons, and pretends to play Go to teach him." "Shun is a legendary figure, and the theory of making Go is not credible, but it reflects the early origin of Go. The legend began to circulate during the time of the Yellow Emperor, and by the time of the Han Dynasty, the rules were largely finalized.

And there is a mystery about the Go, among the countless legends, there have been traces of the Go, according to legend, in the ancient period of the Yao capital Pingyang, after the Yao Emperor pacified the various tribes and the country, agricultural production and people's lives presented a prosperous scene.

However, although Danzhu, the son of the Sanyi family, grew up to be honest and benevolent, he did not do his job properly and was idle. In order to make Danzhu return to goodness, Emperor Yao taught him to play stone chess to stabilize his surname and entertain his heart. But Dan Zhu Qi was still a friend of Yin, and Di Yao had no choice but to move Dan Zhu to the south and cede the imperial throne to Yu Shun. Yu Shun also learned from Emperor Yao and used stone chess to teach Shang Jun. Later, the pottery produced the pattern of Go squares, and there was a record in the history books that "Yao made Go to teach Danzhu". In the west mountain of Jinzhang Village, Longci Township, there are also Qipanling Go stone carving graphic remains.

Of course, this is not to say that Xiangqi is inferior to Go, but Xiangqi is too simple and clear, although there are countless routines, but they are too rigid, but Go, no matter when, can learn something from it.

In legends and myths, you can even understand the philosophy of heaven and earth in Go. And it doesn't have a fixed routine, all the laws are free, it is possible that you have entered a good situation on the surface, but once a son falls, you will immediately fall into a disadvantage, or it is possible that you will move the plate in one step, and there is no shortage of finishing touches.

The complexity of Go is rare in the world, it is not difficult to learn but it is rare to be proficient, you know, even if you are a master, you may fail in a small place, after all, the Go board is so big, every place has every mystery, once the calculation is wrong, then the whole game is lost.

In the world, Go not only reflects the essence of traditional Chinese thought and culture to a large extent, is the most widely developed art in China, is the quintessence of China, and is also considered one of the most complex games in the world.

Even Chu Peng didn't expect that the people in the village would be able to play Go, and it seemed that the chess strength was not weak. This couldn't help but surprise Chu Peng, you know, chess is simple and clear, easy to play, almost everyone can make a few moves.

However, although Go can also be played by everyone, it is a completely undisciplined routine, just random and random.

I saw the old man staring at the chessboard in front of him, his light flickering, as if he had seen something that interested him, which made Chu Peng guess that the old man might also play Go, and it was very likely that his skill level was not low, so he would be like this at will.

The ancients once said: A true gentleman is silent when watching chess. The superficial consciousness of this sentence is to let others not talk casually when watching chess, and the chess it is talking about is Go from the beginning, and Chu Peng is also observing carefully at this moment.

However, although he knows a little bit about Go, he is not proficient in it at all, and he can only see this game in a fog, which makes his own head a little confused. And Wang Yi beside him is even more unbearable, and even from the beginning to the present, Wang Yi's eyes are full of doubts, and he doesn't know the routines of Go at all.

The two people who were playing chess, Chu Peng also knew, were both from the village, one was named Li Yong, an old man, with a childish face, although he was wearing ordinary clothes, but that kind of light and light temperament made people look sideways.

His opponent is also an old man, named Yang Kun, with a red face, it is said that he is over ninety years old, but his body is still very tough, and he can even carry water by himself, which shows that they are terrifying.

Of course, Chu Peng knew that the reason why the old man in this village lived so long was because these mountains were only used, and they had nine dragon veins, and the function of prolonging life was just a benefit.

At this moment, the two old men, no longer have a breezy posture, their brows are frowning, and they are meditating, the game of chess in front of them is almost coming to an end, and the black and white chess pieces on the chessboard are fascinating, intertwined with each other, and it looks like a fierce fight.

Even Chu Peng, a rookie in the game of Go, can feel the fierceness of the fight on this chessboard. Although I don't know the level of Go of the two old men, but for chess, Chu Peng has heard of it, and the people in the village said that the chess skills of the two of them are the best in the whole village, and the two of them have fought for a lifetime, basically you win a game today, and I will win a game tomorrow, and the level of chess strength between the two is almost the same.

At this time, I saw Yang Kun holding a son in his hand and fell, and then I heard him laugh: "What's the matter, I won, I said that you are not as good as me, and I still don't believe it." ”

Chu Peng looked up and saw Li Yong's face flushed, where was the wind and clouds when he was playing chess just now, and he only heard him say angrily: "Yang Kun, I let you here, next time, next time I will definitely win, and besides, I am not in a good state today, so I will play again." "Anyway, the head won't just leave.

The villagers on the side obviously looked surprised, I heard that the two of them, as if whoever lost, would leave the field first, and said that they must find the field, even after so many years, there is still no change.

After seeing Li Yong leave, Yang Kun seemed very interested, and kept asking around to fight, without a trace of fatigue after playing chess, only heard him say: "Come, come, who will play another game with me." I'm happy today, how about letting you four sons. ”

However, it is obvious that the villagers around him know his chess skills, even if he said the words of the handicap, no one went up, which does not mean that he said that the handicap is a lie, but that others are not sure that they can win even if he gives the handicap.

Li Yong, who was usually one of the few people in the village who could compete with him, left, and the people present now were not his opponents at all.

Yang Kun obviously knew this, and after a week of glancing, he was about to go back, but he suddenly saw Chu Peng on the side.

For the only outsider in the village, not only him, everyone is very familiar with Chu Peng, and they are also very friendly, and even when Chu Peng went to deliver medicine last time, he specially prepared a prescription for nourishing qi, which made Yang Kun feel very beneficial, so he was still full of good feelings for Chu Peng.

At this moment, although he didn't know whether Chu Peng could play chess, he still invited: "Come, Chu Peng, let's play a game." ”

Hearing this, Chu Peng shook his head again and again, what level he is, he knows that if he is chess, he can still take a few steps, but Go is just a rookie, and it is not enough for others to abuse, so he directly refused: "Old Yang, I ......"

But before Chu Peng's words were finished, the old man on the side said directly: "Come, I'll accompany you." As he said this, his eyes twinkled, and he was visibly excited.

After listening to the old man's words, Yang Kun didn't say anything more, since there were already people to fight, then he was ready to start immediately, but, at the same time, he was still asking the old man: "Do you need me to let you have four sons?" ”

I saw the old man sitting opposite him, quietly collecting the chess pieces on the chessboard, and said directly: "No." The words rushed to the door with confidence.

Soon, the chess pieces were cleaned up, Yang Kun held the white son, the old man held the black seed, and saw Yang Kun holding the white first, which made Chu Peng feel surprised, because in modern times, the black son went first, and only in ancient times it was the white son that went first, but he didn't say anything.

Looking at the two old men who had already begun to fall, Chu Peng directly pulled Wang Yi aside and asked, "The old man can still play chess?" This is undoubtedly very confusing, from the old man's appreciation of words, it shows that he has a high attainment in calligraphy and painting, I didn't expect him to play chess, this girl is too confusing.

After hearing this, Wang Yi said proudly: "That is, my grandfather was a scholarly child, and he was very proficient in calligraphy and chess, although I have never seen the old man play chess since I was a child, but I have heard many people say that the old man has extraordinary chess skills, but later became a soldier for some reasons, but even if he is a soldier, my grandfather's literary talent is undeniable, it is said that he was still a famous Confucian general back then."
