Chapter 23 The Devil's Chess Sutra (II)
"Realm chess?" When Liu Baixi and Mu Yinquan heard this, they couldn't help but glance at each other. Liu Baixi was surprised: "Legend has it that those who are extremely high in chess can reach the realm of transformation, this is just an imaginary vacancy in chess, who can cultivate it?" ”
Fang Guochuan said: "Mr. Liu and Mr. Mu are both senior masters in the chess family, and now there is a ghost chess murder, I am inconvenient to hide the two gentlemen. When Liu Baixi and Mu Yinquan heard this, they stood up in surprise, and Liu Baixi was amazed: "Fang Gongzi turned out to be a real master in chess, and he actually reached the realm of chess!" It's really a blessing for the chess way, I haven't had a chance to ask for advice for a few days, can you let Liu and Mr. Yinquan appreciate the chess of the son's transformation realm? ”
Fang Guochuan said with a smile: "I haven't had time to be free these days because of the matter of the eunuchs of the national hand, so today I will take the opportunity to learn Mr. Liu's master chess style, and I also had an appointment with Mr. Liu." Liu Baixi was overjoyed when he heard this, and hurriedly set up the chess sets, and Mu Yinquan happily watched from the sidelines. In the second half of the night, Bu Yuan couldn't compare to the excitement of Liu Baixi, Mu Yinquan, and Fang Guochuan playing chess, and couldn't bear the fatigue, so he went back to the room to rest.
As a result, after a game of chess, Liu Baixi and Mu Yinquan looked at the chessboard and were stunned, Liu Baixi was surprised: "Fang Gongzi's chess is surprisingly high, it is incomprehensible, and I don't know how to be good." ”
Mu Yinquan was stunned and said: "I didn't expect to be able to get out of this wonderful situation in chess, which makes people feel that this is not a chess fight, but a kind of all-encompassing formation, which is very atmospheric!" Is that what Realm Chess is all about? Can you afford all kinds of changes? Liu Baixi and Mu Yinquan were immediately impressed.
Fang Guohuan smiled slightly, and then said: "In the next time I entered Beijing, I received the help of the two gentlemen, found out some details of the national eunuch Li Wusan, and knew about the ghost chess murder, in the future, I will focus on finding this person, in order to fight with him, do my best to abolish his murder chess way, and if it is not successful, I will find another way." As a matter of present, Brother Bu Yuan and I have already discussed it, and we are ready to escort Mr. Qu Liangyi's master and servant back to their hometown in Huaiyin, Jiangsu. Mr. Qu won the chess championship in the capital in one fell swoop, shaking the world, but unfortunately he was injured by Li Wusan's ghost chess, and he was ruined in chess and fell into the capital. Mr. Qu used to be the leader of my chess people, and this time he suffered, but fortunately he met it, and he couldn't bear to sit idly by, and he was willing to send him back to his hometown and fulfill his morality in chess. When Liu Baixi and Mu Yinquan heard this, they were moved for a while.
Liu Baixi stepped forward and shook Fang Guolian's hands, and said with great respect: "Mr. Qu is the champion of my chess family's national player, unfortunately he was killed by the ghost chess trick, and he folded on the chess. Such righteous deeds should be respected by both people and gods! Mu Yinquan also said with emotion: "Mr. Qu suffered this catastrophe, it is really the misfortune of the world's chess world, although we and other chess players have the heart of the son, but unable to do it, the son's righteous act can make Mr. Qu return to his hometown and reunite with his family, from the suffering of the streets, the old man on behalf of the world's chess masters to thank the son." After speaking, Mu Yinquan bowed, and Fang Guochuan hurriedly helped him.
The news that Fang Guolian and Bu Yuan escorted Qu Liangyi's master and servant back to their hometown shocked the chess community in the capital. Liu Baixi and Mu Yinquan also gave 100 taels of silver each, a total of 500 taels before and after, as Qu Liangyi's return to his hometown. Bu Yuan hired a carriage with a sedan canopy and a handlebar type who was good at walking remotely, bought two more mounts and shared them with Fang Guolian, everything was ready, and he went to the inn to pick up Qu Liangyi's master and servant. When Qu Ning'er saw that Fang Guolian and Bu Yuan were going to send his master and servant back to their hometown, they were so excited that they cried and worshipped, and the onlookers were all moved. Qu Liangyi's master and servant were then placed in the carriage, and Liu Baixi led the disciples of the chess hall and some Beijing chess players such as Mu Yinquan to send Fang Guohuan and other chariots and horses to the suburbs, and the two sides waved goodbye to each other.
Fang Guolian and Bu Yuan escorted Qu Liangyi out of the capital and came to Jiangsu, taking care of Qu Liangyi's master and servant very well along the way, Qu Liangyi seemed to feel the atmosphere of returning home, and his demeanor eased a lot, and he slept in the car all day. Fang Guolian, Bu Yuan, and Qu Ning'er were all happy when they saw it. After walking on the road for a few days, Qu Liangyi has slowed down from a crazy state to a sluggish state, often smirking, and suddenly muttering to himself. It's strange to say, as soon as she saw Fang Guolian, Qu Liangyi's mood stabilized, she looked at Fang Guohuan blankly, muttering some inaudible words in her mouth, as if she wanted to tell Fang Guohuan something, but she couldn't express it; Sometimes in a lethargy, he suddenly screams, and then collapses again. Seeing that Fang Guolian was sad, he secretly shed a lot of tears. Bu Yuan saw Qu Liangyi's miserable state, and gritted his teeth with hatred for the national eunuch Li Wusan, and often muttered to himself: "That's fine!" That's fine! When you see that monster, you can be ruthless, not be confused by his words, kill with a projectile, and avenge Mr. Qu and Monk Zhishan. ”
Fang Guolian and Bu Yuan escorted Qu Liangyi's master and servant all the way, and entered the Shandong territory on this day, and when they were late, they found an inn in a small town and threw themselves. Fang Guolian settled Qu Liangyi's master and servant in the room, and then asked the store for a bowl of lotus seed soup, and Qu Ning'er took the bowl and fed Qu Liangyi. Fang Guohuan saw that after Qu Liangyi finished eating the lotus seed soup, he fell asleep again, so he asked Qu Ning'er to be careful, and then went downstairs with Bu Yuan to eat, and the coachman had already finished feeding the horses at home. Fang Guolian ordered some wine and food to use with Bu Yuan, and called a guy to send a meal to the guest room to eat with Qu Ning'er. Bu Yuan was unhappy these days, drank a few glasses, and sighed: "The hero of the first generation, the invincible great power, has ended up in such a field, which is so sad. The chess pieces are the fairest and safest things, who would have thought that they could also play fire and play on these small stones, and play with accidents, it can be seen that things in the world are complicated! Here today, gone tomorrow! That's not bad. Fang Guohuan was also in a bad mood, and drank a few cups with Bu Yuan, but he was just silent.
At this time, two people came in from outside the store, and after coming in, they first looked around, and then chose a table to sit on, and ordered a few kinds of wine and food to eat and drink, but from time to time they peeked at Fang Guolian and Bu Yuan. When Bu Yuan saw this, his heart sank, and he whispered to Fang Guolian: "These two people are wolf eyes, just like the wolves in the mountains who came out to forage for food and sent two wolves forward to explore the way first, they should be two guys with bad intentions." When Fang Guohuan heard this, he couldn't help but be taken aback, and said in surprise: "Robber? What are you trying to rob us? Bu Yuan said: "Don't we have a thousand taels of silver?" Fang Guochuan was surprised: "What do we have, how do they know?" Bu Yuan said: "The thief's eyes are poisonous, and he can see things accurately." At this time, the two people over there seemed to be aware of Bu Yuan and Fang Guolian's suspicious gazes, whispered a few words to each other, and then called a guy to pay the bill, got up and left. Bu Yuan said: "Whether it's a strongman or a bandit, I'm holding back my fire these days and have nowhere to vent, if they dare to act recklessly, they should let him come and go." Fang Guohuan was very worried in his heart.
Early the next morning, Fang Guolian and Bu Yuan settled Qu Liangyi's master and servant in the car, rode left and right to protect them, and left the inn and continued to hurry. Along the official road, the number of villages gradually became fewer. At this time, suddenly a horse ran up from behind, galloped by, and the man on the horse looked back, like a man in the inn yesterday, the horse ran fast, all the way dust, and then disappeared. Bu Yuan was taken aback at this time and said, "Flowing horse detective? This group of strongmen is also very cautious, and it seems that they are waiting for us ahead. After speaking, he untied the overlord bow in his left hand, and buckled a muddy iron pill in his right hand, and became vigilant, and Fang Guohuan also felt uneasy in his heart.
The driver who drove the car also looked a little nervous, and said to Bu Yuan: "Bu Zhuangshi, I have walked this road several times before, and it has always been very safe, and I won't give birth to a strong man today, right?" Bu Yuan said: "The road is not a thief, it can't be said that there is no theft, we seem to have been targeted in the past two days, so it's better to be careful." Fang Guohuan said on the side: "Brother Bu, if you really meet a strongman, just scare them away, don't hurt people and grudge." Bu Yuan said: "I care about this, but it depends on which strongman I meet, if it is ruthless on the underworld, I can't help you and me." Then he said: "I heard that the Xiangma in Shandong and Shanxi are the most ruthless in their actions, often leaving no living mouth, and they are bold, and sometimes they even dare to rob the official silver. ”
Fang Guolian said: "There were bandits in troubled times, and now the world is quite peaceful, how can these people who are not afraid of death appear?" Bu Yuan said: "Taiping? From ancient times to the present, how can there be any peace in the world? The winner is the prince, and the loser is a thief, which shows that the officials and bandits are a family. The people's hearts are not ancient, the officials are thieves, the people dare to be cowards, the so-called world is chaotic in education, how many people in the world can raise an elegant and quiet temperament in chess like a virtuous brother? Fang Guochuan smiled when he heard this: "I didn't expect Brother Bu to have such worldly knowledge. Bu Yuan said: "The truth between heaven and earth is actually the same, but some people see it more deeply, and some people see it shallower." I have been hunting for many years, and from the tigers, leopards, jackals, and wolves, I can see that the methods used by corrupt officials and corrupt officials in the world to oppress the people are the same. It's a pity that I can only hunt some tigers and leopards and not corrupt officials. Fang Guochuan sighed when he heard this: "What Brother Bu said is extremely true, at this point, the younger brother is not as good as the eldest brother. Bu Yuan said: "The things in this world, although it is said that evil does not defeat good, but sometimes it is also good that is invincible to evil, and good is invincible to evil. Fang Guolian glanced at Qu Liangyi in the car, sighed with emotion, and shook his head.
As the carriage and horses were traveling, they suddenly saw that not far ahead, more than 20 horsemen and horses blocked the way, and there was a carriage carrying a wooden box next to it. Bu Yuan and Fang Guolian were shocked when they saw this, and hurriedly stopped the carriage and horses, and the coachman was already so frightened that his face changed. Bu Yuan said: "Sure enough, it came." Yinma took a few steps forward and said in a loud voice: "You are here to make a fortune, right?" It's a pity that except for one stupid person in the car, I really don't have a lot of money on me for you to take. As he spoke, he secretly buckled the iron pill on the bowstring of the overlord. At this time, seeing a big man led by the other party, he arched his hand on the horse and said: "This friend has misunderstood, we are not thieves who block the road and rob them." Bu Yuan and Fang Guohuan behind him couldn't help but be stunned when they heard it.
Bu Yuan shook his head and said: "It's not a thief, it's a big thief, blocking the way of our cars and horses, it's not robbing money and looting things, what is it?" When the big man heard this, he smiled and said, "Not only will we not take any of your money, but we will also send a box of silver and two of you." With a wave of his hand, someone opened the wooden box on the carriage next to him, revealing a box of large ingots of silver taels with white flowers, which amounted to two thousand taels. Seeing this, Fang Guohuan and Bu Yuan were very surprised, Fang Guohuan saw that things were very strange, and hurriedly stepped forward to stand next to Bu Yuan, and said loudly: "If you give courtesy to others, you must ask for something, I don't know what Your Excellency means by this?" The big man said: "Yes, I will not give away a box of white silver for no reason, but I just want to exchange this box of silver for the carriage behind you, and I will exchange it with people and cars." When Bu Yuan and Fang Guohuan heard this, they were shocked again, and they looked at each other in amazement, not believing that there was such a strange thing.
Bu Yuan was surprised, and suddenly raised his head and laughed: "Ladies and gentlemen, but the trade of Yue goods on this road has been done for many years, and suddenly my conscience found that I want to do a good deed, take my friend who has suffered from madness home to make offerings, and atone for some previous sins?" The big man on the other side sneered and said: "This madman is useless to you, and it is even more burdensome on the road, so it is better to sell it to us, and ask my master to do a good deed for him, and let his own family suffer less." ”
When Fang Guohuan heard this, he was surprised and said: "He is our friend and a big living person, how can he sell it to you?" What does your host want to do? The big man said, "What is the difference between this friend of yours and a dead man, my master wants him to be of wonderful use, just sell it to us." Bu Yuan was surprised: "Could it be that your master is a miracle doctor?" Can we cure our friend's madness, show off our own name, and promote our own skills? If this is the case, let's make it clear that it is too late for us to be grateful, so why bother to do this strange thing of buying a patient's own doctor with silver? ”
When the big man heard this, he smiled and said, "It's true that my master is a miracle doctor, but he doesn't want to make some effort to cure this madman, but wants to give him a new way of living." Bu Yuan and Fang Guochuan were stunned when they heard this, and Bu Yuan said angrily: "I don't want to treat him, so what do you want to buy him?" Do you know who he is? The big man laughed loudly and said: "This famous national player champion Qu Liangyi is high in the world, who doesn't know?" But now that he has become a waste, my master has bought it for his own use, so that he can use his chess skills again. ”
When Fang Guohuan heard this, he was surprised and said, "You actually know that he is Mr. Qu Liangyi?" It's a pity that Mr. Qu's chess path has been abolished, and your master doesn't want to treat him, so how can you ask him to show his chess skills? The big man smiled proudly at this time: "To tell you the truth, my master happened to hear that this national champion suddenly went crazy in the capital, and fell into the streets, so he wanted to find him, but he was sent to the door by you, so I was exempted from sending me to go through the labor of the capital again, I am really grateful to the two, so I allocated the silver to do the business seriously." Although this Qu Liangyi is crazy, but the brain in his brain is intact, it is the world's first-class intelligent brain, my master is good at a kind of 'brain change', can transfer the mind and change the brain, but the brain of Qu Liangyi is transferred to the brain of others, so that the person suddenly has Qu Liangyi's previous kind of chess player-like chess strength, and it is not in vain the hard work of this great player who has two wastes in chess. Bu Yuan and Fang Guohuan were shocked when they heard this, they never expected the other party to say such a thing.
Bu Yuan was furious at this time and said: "Ridiculous! How can a human brain be exchanged for a casual exchange? Wouldn't this kill Mr. Qu? The big man said: "Hua Tuo in the Three Kingdoms had the ability to split Cao Cao's brain to search for his brain madness, but unfortunately Cao Cao was afraid of death, so he killed Hua Tuo. My master is not talented, he has higher skills than Hua Tuo, and he can change his mind and brain, so that people who are not smart can become smarter, and he can get all kinds of top skills without learning. My little master is good at chess, but the wisdom is too shallow, it is difficult to become a big weapon, and now the champion of the national hand is crazy and loses chess, and has become a waste person, it is better to exchange his smart brain for my little master, so that the world will regenerate a national champion champion, isn't it wonderful! Hearing this, Bu Yuan and Fang Guolian shuddered.
Bu Yuan said angrily: "Although Mr. Qu is insane, he is also a living person, how can he allow Er and other treacherous people to mess around." Since your master has such great skills, why don't you come to heal Mr. Qu, which is also considered a merit, but instead take his brain like a monkey's brain? The big man shook his head and said: "My master said that Qu Liangyi was invisibly hurt by an external force, and the brain was not damaged, although there is a possibility of being cured, but it will take three and a half years, and it will take time, it is easier to change the mind and change the brain, although the body is dead, the brain is not dead, and you can reshow your chess skills, but it is just a change of life." ”
Fang Guohuan was surprised, and said angrily: "Please return to your master, we are friends of Mr. Qu, and we don't want to trade his sick body with others." Although your master has miraculous medical skills, he does not care about the life and death of others, and only wants to make his own ready-made, in fact, this is an act of harm to others and himself, and he will be punished. The big man laughed and said, "The one surnamed Qu is not a relative you are waiting for, why do you protect him like this?" Instead of letting him be a waste person, it is better to dedicate his brains and fulfill my little master to be a national handicraft, which is also a good thing, and the two of them can get a wealth unexpectedly, why not? ”
Bu Yuan was already furious at this time: "Mr. Qu is already pitiful when he falls into this situation, but you and other traitors want to make matters worse and take his life, it is simply better than a pig and a dog!" Youbu is here, you dare to come nonsense, be careful of the dog's head! When the big man heard this, he also said angrily: "Grandpa patiently talked to you for a long time, intending to benefit both and not cause trouble, but I didn't expect you to toast and not eat and drink, and I don't know whether to live or die, that madman and I will win today." After speaking, with a wave of his hand, more than 20 riders behind him, swords and guns swayed, and they were about to rush up together. Bu Yuan made a preemptive strike and shouted: "Go! "The bowstring of the Overlord sounded, and a flick flew out. The big man was stunned, and his body had been struck from his horse and hit a man behind him, and the two fell off their horses at the same time, like two pieces of rotten flesh, and they were paralyzed on the ground, apparently dying. Bu Yuan killed the two thieves with one bullet, and the group of thieves exclaimed, all shocked. Bu Yuan raised the overlord bow on the ground, with a sound of empty bullets, "buzzing", and shouted: "Don't be afraid of the dead, just come up." When the thieves saw that their leader had died, they were like frightened birds, and they left the carriage with the silver and the corpses of their companions, and scattered in a hurry, and ran away in a blink of an eye.
