Chapter 15: Chessboard Fight!
Seeing the subtle movements made by Du Zhong, the old man grinned.
But before he could laugh out loud.
Du Zhong, who had just opened a glimpse of his eyes, closed his eyes tightly again.
His face was still as calm as before.
Obviously, it was calculated again.
Seeing this, the old man was stunned.
The smile on the corner of his mouth is deeper, this smile is different from before, if it was before that he was finally disturbed by his shout, then this smile now represents satisfaction and expectation.
Whether Du Zhong was disturbed by the shouting or not, he was concentrating again in an instant.
This kind of control over oneself is really rare.
"Fifty seconds."
Staring at Du Zhong expectantly, the old man continued to shout.
The sound is also louder than before.
Du Zhong still didn't move, and the whole person just sat there, as if he had lost his life, and he would be as solid as a rock even if the wind and rain were strong.
"Fifty-five seconds."
Glancing at the timer, the old man shouted again.
While shouting, his eyes remained on Du Zhong's body.
"Huh!"
Just when the old man's shout ended, Du Zhong, who had not made any movement, suddenly opened his eyes, moved his arm, and held up the chess piece engraved with kidney water high.
"Huh?"
The old man was startled and looked at Du Zhong.
But I saw Du Zhong smiling, holding the right hand of the chess piece high, staying in front of him, motionless, and not having the slightest intention of falling.
Seeing this, the old man immediately became curious.
A pair of eyes stared at Du Zhong, as if asking why Du Zhong didn't fall behind.
On the other side, Du Zhong looked at the old man with an indifferent face, without the slightest sense of nervousness, and looked extremely relaxed.
"It's been a minute."
After five seconds, the old man shouted.
Eucommia still doesn't fall.
The old man was even more curious.
"One minute and five seconds."
Ten seconds passed, and the old man shouted again.
Eucommia still doesn't fall behind.
This made the old man frown.
What the hell is Eucommia doing?
Obviously he has raised the chess piece, but he has not fallen for a long time, just staring at the old man, what does he want to do?
"One minute and ten seconds."
Even though he was very confused in his heart, the old man did not forget his duty, and every five seconds, he would shout.
"Could it be that this kid can calculate with his eyes open?"
As time passed, the old man became more and more unable to see through Du Zhong's intentions, so he had to secretly guess.
"One minute and fifteen seconds ......"
Eucommia didn't move.
"One minute and twenty seconds ......"
Du Zhong still didn't move.
"One minute and twenty-five seconds!"
When the time came, the old man shouted again.
"Smack."
Just as the old man shouted, Du Zhong's right hand pressed violently, and the chess pieces landed on the chessboard.
"Huh?"
Seeing this, the old man hurriedly pressed the chronometer in his hand, and at the same time shifted his gaze from Du Zhong's body to the chessboard.
The place where I saw the fall of Eucommia.
The old man, who had a charitable face and a puzzled face, suddenly became extremely cold.
After squinting his eyes coldly and glancing at the chessboard, the old man looked up at Du Zhong and opened his mouth to ask, "Do you think you landed this chess piece right?" ”
"I think that's right."
Du Zhong smiled and nodded in reply.
"Not necessarily, right?"
The old man's expression was cold, his eyes looked at Du Zhong with some indifference, and said: "Self-confidence is a good thing, but overconfidence will turn into arrogance, and arrogance is not a good thing." ”
Hearing this, Du Zhong chuckled, shook his head, and opened his mouth to say: "I'm not confident, and I don't dare to be arrogant, this is what I think is the truth." ”
"You've already got this result at fifty-five seconds?"
The old man squinted and asked.
"Yes."
Du Zhong nodded in acknowledgement.
"Then why don't you fall behind?"
The old man asked again.
Du Zhong smiled humbly and opened his mouth with a serious face: "I don't think I have a deeper understanding of the mutual growth and restraint of the five elements than those who use very little time. ”
"So, to show respect for them, I took a little time."
"Oh?"
The old man was stunned and asked, "Since you don't think you know deeply, why can you answer it in such a short time?" ”
"Because, I'm in a hurry than they are."
Du Zhong grinned.
"Haha......"
Hearing this, the old man who had a cold face suddenly dissipated the dark clouds on his face, and was replaced by a hearty laughter.
"It's really smart, congratulations, you got it right."
Laughing, the old man opened his mouth in satisfaction.
Du Zhong nodded humbly, and was about to say something when the old man suddenly spoke.
"In that case, it looks like I'll have to try again."
The old man smiled, looked at Du Zhong, and said, "Those who come to me for assessment will try a second test if they pass the guò within two minutes." ”
"Oh?"
At this time, Du Zhong was also shocked.
"In the past five years, one of the twenty people who passed the guò was within two minutes, and all seven of them took the additional test."
The old man opened his mouth.
Eucommia rolled his eyes.
Obviously, when it comes to the qualification certificate of the Five Elements Xuan Medicine, he can already get it, but the distribution of the qualification certificate must be decided by the old man, if he does not agree to take the test, the old man is likely not to issue the qualification certificate.
So, why does the old man have to let people with good grades take the test?
Is it to select the best?
Or is it an ulterior motive?
As his mind turned, Du Zhong nodded lightly and asked, "I don't know seniors, what do you want to try?" ”
The old man smiled.
Stretched out his hand to take away all the black pieces on the chessboard, and then opened his mouth and said: "In the second additional test, you and I will play against each other, and with the principle of mutual growth and restraint of the five elements, the chess pieces will be placed on this chessboard at will." ”
"Playing chess?"
Du Zhong asked.
"That's right."
The old man nodded and continued to explain: "The chess pieces can be placed at will, no matter how far away they are, but if they are only one square apart, and your kidney water comes into contact with my heart fire, you can choose to eat my heart fire, or you can choose to continue to play chess in other positions." ”
"The same goes for you."
"Water overcomes fire, when my two heart fire chess pieces are next to your kidney water, they can also counter your kidney water, which is equivalent to one of my heart fires and your kidney water dying together."
"Until there is only one type of piece left on the board."
"Naturally, whichever side is left to win."
Listen to the old man's explanation.
Du Zhong nodded from time to time, and had completely memorized the rules of the chess pieces in his heart.
"I see."
After the old man finished speaking, Du Zhong opened his mouth to answer.
In fact, it is very simple, that is, in the five elements, you can eat directly, while the anti-gram needs to be used together, and you have to end up in the same case, in order to eat the chess pieces.
"Okay."
Hearing Du Zhong's response, the old man nodded with satisfaction and said, "You and I have no limit to chess pieces." ”
"Yes."
Du Zhong nodded.
With his hand stretched, he put away all the white pieces on the chessboard.
"Let's go!"
As soon as Du Zhong put away the chess pieces, the old man gave the order to start.
"Smack."
The old man took the lead, a lung gold, and played in the center of the chessboard.
Seeing this, Du Zhong smiled.
Take out a heart fire from the white piece and put it in the corner of the chessboard.
Although the fire overcomes gold, Du Zhong will not be stupid enough to put his heart fire next to the opponent's lung gold, so that the opponent's second move only needs to land another lung gold, and Du Zhong's heart fire can be eaten.
It looks like a chess pair.
In fact, the difference is huge.
Because the other party is the first move, in the case of replacing Du Zhong's heart fire with a lung gold, he can be covered with a plate of kidney water in all directions, and Du Zhong will inevitably suffer a big loss at that time.
Therefore, Eucommia chose to settle first.
"Smack."
The old man has another son.
"Smack."
Eucommia also fell into a son.
Because the chessboard used is a game of Go, and the chess pieces are also carved from Go, Du Zhong has a total of 180 chess pieces in his hand, and the old man has 181 pieces first.
In this way, there are thirty-six pieces of heart fire, liver wood, spleen soil, lung gold, and kidney water in each person's hand.
The one that the old man had extra is the one, and Du Zhong doesn't know.
"Bang Bang Bang ......"
The two fell one by one.
Although the chessboard is extremely empty, the speed of the two of them is not fast.
They must carefully calculate the quality of each position, and even make up for the adjacent pieces near the falling pieces to protect their own pieces.
This kind of chess game is extremely nerve-wracking.
Du Zhong and the old man, no one wants to lose a chess game first.
If you lose a move, you will inevitably be at a disadvantage, after all, the number of pieces on both sides is roughly the same.
"Bang Bang ......"
Minutes and seconds passed.
The two of them, while looking at each other's chess, pondering each other's thoughts, and at the same time according to their own understanding.
Undoubtedly, this is an extreme test of one's overall thinking ability, and each piece must take into account the trend of the whole game, as well as the relationship between each other.
On weekdays, Du Zhong, who hardly plays chess, was not very comfortable at first.
However, with the increase of falling seeds, Eucommia ulmoides has slowly integrated into it.
Opposite side.
Seeing that Du Zhong was concentrating on integrating into the chess game, the old man couldn't help but hook the corners of his mouth and secretly appreciated it.
If it were someone else, I wouldn't even understand the rules at this time.
Even if you understand the rules, you can't integrate into the game so quickly and start the calculation.
Eucommia's table is already very surprising to the old man.
"Bang Bang Bang ......"
As the number of pieces on the board increases, the speed at which the two of them fall faster and faster.
Soon, the two of them ended their formation, and they still had some chess pieces in their hands.
"Liver Muke Spleen Soil."
The old man was not ambiguous at all, and when it was time to make a move, he ate one of Eucommia's spleens with a single move.
"Lung Jinke Liver Wood."
Du Zhong was not willing to be left behind, and ate the other party's liver wood.
In the first round, the two fought to a draw.
"Haha."
The old man laughed, made a quick and merciless move, and when the chess pieces moved, he would inevitably eat Du Zhong's chess.
Eucommia is also not inked.
The two of them, you kill me and I kill you in the dark.
Soon, a pile of each other's chess pieces was piled up in front of each person.
Contrary to the formation, the two of them walked step by step, and when the chess pieces on the chessboard were killed one by one, the speed of the two of them became slower and slower.
Almost every step you take, you need to think for a long time.
In this way, in the secret competition between the two, an hour passed quickly.
An hour later.
The old man grabbed a black chess piece, looked at the chessboard, suddenly smiled slightly, looked up and said, "You lost." ”
As he spoke, his fingers moved.
Put the black pieces in your hand on the chessboard.
At this time, above the chessboard, Du Zhong's white chess still occupies half of the country......
(What is the game I created zào, hehe)
