Chapter 23 The Devil's Chess Sutra (Part II)
Liu Baixi said at this time: "May I ask my father-in-law, what kind of demon book is the "Earth Demon Chess Sutra", which actually contains the art of ghost chess killing. ”
Lin Gonggong said: "After the death of Gonggong De, the old man took over the head of the imperial library and was also in charge of the imperial study. Five years ago, the old body thought that he was old, and there was no time to survive, **, the old body can be said to be the person who has seen the most and most widely seen strange books in the world. However, the old body has always been haunted by the "Earth Evil Chess Sutra", and he never forgets it, and wants to see it. The old body doesn't know how to play chess, so I take it in private, and put it back after reading it, that is, the book contains the secret method of becoming immortal, and the old body does not learn it. Knowing that this book had been kept secret for many years, and no one in the palace knew about the existence of this book except the old body, driven by curiosity, the old body was bold, and after a long time, he found this book from a secret cupboard. Along with this book, there are more than 100 monochrome black chess pieces, the chess pieces reflect the dark light, the feel is abnormal, I don't know what texture. At that time, the old man flipped through the "Earth Evil Chess Sutra", and couldn't help but be frightened, this was actually an evil scripture and demon book on the chess road, and the first sentence was the five words "chaos in the world with chess". According to the book, it can teach people to practice a kind of magic realm on chess, and it can kill people on the chessboard, which is a kind of ghost chess between the king of the underworld and black and white impermanence, and it is not the correct way of chess. This book is divided into two volumes, both the law and the chess game, the book contains the admonition, this technique can not be learned by women, men can not practice, only with the old body such as the waste person can learn, as if the change of mentality and the difference in chess. The old man saw that some books were full of some mysterious words of the wrong chess skills, this is not good chess, so he did not read carefully, and after seeing the book, there are words introducing those strange and abnormal chess pieces, and he was shocked to read it. Originally, this black chess piece was called the 'Skeleton Chess Piece', which was made from the skull of a young woman mixed with medicine to extract the qi of her yin blood and used it to practice ghost chess and evil arts. When Fang Guolian, Liu Baixi, and Mu Yinquan heard this, they were terrified and terrified
。 Gonggong Lin then said: "And each woman's skull can only refine six or seven 'skeleton chess pieces', which shows that these hundred and dozens of chess pieces, I don't know how many lives are in them." The more the old body looked at it, the more frightened he became, and he was surprised that these things that had been handed down by someone were so frightening, so he hid the "Earth Demon Chess Sutra" and the chess pieces in their original places, and never dared to look at them again. Fang Guolian, Liu Baixi, and Mu Yinquan were already stunned when they heard it.
After a long time, Fang Guohuan asked: "I don't know how this "Earth Demon Chess Sutra" and those 'marrow chess pieces' got into the hands of the national eunuch Li Wusan?" ”
Gonggong Lin sighed and said, "I'm ashamed! This is all a disaster caused by the old body showing off his knowledge. When Gonggong Li first entered the palace, he was a chess master, and he was not purified, because of his chess skills, he was favored by the emperor and his mother, and he looked at him differently. This person also has some knowledge, and when he came to the Imperial Library to borrow some books such as chess masters to read, the old man respected his good skills, so he lent him some chess books and scriptures in the Ouchi's secret collection. For this reason, Li Qishi often returned to Xie Laoshen, and the two of us also had some friendship. It wasn't until later that Li Qishi once said to the old man that the way of chess had come to him, and it had reached the end, and he had reached the top, and there was no more high chess to learn. The old man said casually at the time: There is another technique, which is the ghost chess contained in the "Earth Evil Chess Sutra", does Mr. Li know? Li Qishi was shocked when he heard this, and his face changed with excitement, and the old man knew that he had lost his mouth, so he stopped talking. But Gonggong Li then asked, anxious to see this book, and the old man defended that he said it casually, and there was no such book in the world. Gonggong Li said that he had seen a "Disha Chess Sutra" in an ancient book, and now he heard what the old man said, and he believed that there was another trick in chess, and begged the old man to show him this book. The old body was entangled, so he told him that if he wanted to achieve the chess path contained in the "Earth Evil Chess Sutra", he had to harm himself and abolish humanity. Li Qishi was still a normal man at that time, and he was also an old man, and after listening to the old man's words that day, his face was gloomy and very scary, and he left without saying a word. The old man thought that he would not be disabled because of the false chess skills contained in the book, and he would retreat in order to become another chess path, so he didn't go to heart. After a long time, Li Qishi never came to the Imperial Library again, and the old man thought that this matter was over, and he would not dare to mention it to anyone in the future. But one day, someone suddenly told the old body that Li Qishi had abandoned humanity, disabled himself, and became Li Gonggong, saying that he had been teaching chess in the harem for a long time, and there were many inconveniences in comings and goings, so he used this to thank the emperor for his kindness and eternal loyalty. At that time, the emperor was very moved, and the palace was also shocked, but the old man knew what was going on, and he was extremely afraid. Sure enough, a month later, Gonggong Li recovered from his injuries and came to the Imperial Library to find his old body in private, begging for the "Earth Evil Chess Sutra", aiming to win. The old body was confused for a while, and was touched by his persistence and sincerity in good chess, but let him swear that after getting this book, he could only send his own entertainment, and when playing against others, he must not hurt people by using the ghost chess in the book, but respond to it with the usual situation of a chess player. Gonggong Li then swore an oath, and the old body took the "Disha Chess Sutra" and those chess pieces with him, and repeatedly warned him that the old body had violated the instructions of Emperor Taizu and the rules of the Great Inner Collection, and this book should not be shown to others, otherwise the old body would be punished, and Gonggong Li was full of response. ”
When Gonggong Lin said this, he shook his head and sighed: "I didn't expect him to be a treacherous and untrustworthy villain. As a result, some chess players lost interest, were discouraged, and had the idea of playing chess, which was because their own chess environment was disturbed and their chess fun was lost. The only thing to be thankful for is that when the national player was selected, Li Gonggong's chess strength had not yet reached the level of hurting people and killing people by playing ghost chess, and he was won the championship by another master, Qu Liangyi. However, the two of them fought seven battles and seven peaces, which is really dangerous. That Qu Liangyi actually has the chess power to play chess with half of the ghosts, and he deserves to be the champion of the national players in chess! Later, alas! As you all know, Gonggong Li finally practiced the ghost chess evil art a month ago, so he first sought the national champion to avenge the fame in chess. Qu Liangyi's madness, and the death of the deceased mentioned by this son, are all due to the killing of the chess qi on the ghost chess momentum, how did this kind of hurtful magic power arise in chess, and even kill people invisibly, and the old body does not know the reason. This ghost chess evil art is a change in chess, not the right way of chess, the practice of harming others and oneself, causing trouble without accountability, it should be a kind of magic way in chess. In the future, if you meet Gonggong Li, don't play against him, so as not to be hurt by his ghost chess, I hope to dissuade him and make him turn back, so as to reduce the irreparable mistakes made by the old body carelessly. After speaking, Gonggong Lin closed his eyes and said silently.
After listening to Gonggong Lin's story, Fang Guolian, Liu Baixi, and Mu Yinquan were awe-inspiring in their hearts, and the matter was even more serious and terrible than they had imagined before. The three of them then got up to salute, withdrew gently, met Bu Yuan, and were speechless all the way, and walked back to the Baixi Chess Hall. Bu Yuan saw the expressions of the three of them, and he also felt that something was not very good, so he didn't dare to ask, and then followed.
Back at the Baixi Chess Hall, it was already late at night, and the four of them had no sleep, sitting in the hall, relatively speechless. The disciples of the chess hall, seeing that the master's face was ugly, were even more cautious, and they all withdrew.
After a long time, Liu Baixi spoke: "It seems that this catastrophe in the chess world of this dynasty cannot be avoided, and I don't know how many good players will be destroyed in this eunuch's chess in the future." Mu Yinquan said: "This Li Wusanhao is vicious and eccentric, in order to learn the exclusive chess way, he is willing to harm himself, which is really embarrassing for him." This time, I went to the world to find a master to fight chess, and killed people for fun with chess, how good is this! ”
Bu Yuan said disapprerovitously: "It's difficult for you to think about it, although that eunuch is evil in chess and can kill people, he may be a terrible demon for you chess artists, but for us and other chess outsiders, that eunuch is just a bad old man who is over half a hundred years old and has no power to restrain chickens, and if he has the opportunity to slaughter him with a knife, it will not be over, how can he have the heart to play with him that kind of ghost chess?" ”
Mu Yinquan said: "What Bu Zhuangshi said is not unreasonable, although Li Wusan is protected by a master like Yu Ruoxu, but if he really wants to take his life, it is not an extremely difficult thing, entrust some friends in the martial arts, explain the stakes, and take his life, to prevent him from harming others with chess again." No matter how great Yu Ruoxu's skills are, it is inevitable that there will be omissions, but he doesn't know the whereabouts of the two of them, and it is difficult to visit. ”
Liu Baixi shook his head and said: "Although this is the truth, but if you want to kill him outside the chess, you must have a basis, without evidence, the righteous martial arts clan will not intervene to help, Li Wusan's ghost chess evil technique kills people invisibly, and it is difficult for outsiders to agree." Bu Yuan said: "Qu Liangyi's great hand is crazy, and the monk Zhishan was also killed by him, isn't this evidence?" Liu Baixi said: "Now there are only a few of us and Gonggong Lin of the Imperial Library, who believe that there is a ghost chess and evil art to kill people, but they also know it, but they don't know why. How many people can believe that this chess way, which is respected as an elegant art in ancient and modern times, can kill? No one in the chess path can agree with it, and when outsiders listen to it, they will laugh at me and other chess fans too much. ”
Bu Yuan said: "That's right, when the time comes, the eunuch will play a trick, and he won't admit it, saying that others have lost the chess, and he can't think of it for a while and dies, is it because he has a small heart and a narrow temperament, so what about my eunuch?" There is no real evidence, and there is really no way to take him, that monster is standing in front of him at this time, and I can't do it with such an excuse. Liu Baixi said: "The current plan should warn the people in the chess path that it is necessary to take precautions against Li Wusan, for fear that they will not believe in this matter, and when they see a master visiting, they will definitely be able to itch the chess, and they will be invisibly harmed by the ghost chess." After speaking, Liu Baixi and Mu Yinquan looked worried.
Fang Guolian, who had been sitting silently next to him, said slowly at this time: "If you want Li Wusan to repent and bear his own faults, you must repay the favor in the way of others, and chess matters can only be solved in chess." Only by abolishing his ghost chess and killing skills in chess can this catastrophe in the chess world be quelled. ”
When Mu Yinquan heard this, he shook his head and said: "The top masters of chess such as Qu Liangyi, the champion of the national player, are crazy about the eunuch's ghost chess, who else in the world can be his opponent?" Could it be that you can find another "Heavenly Evil Chess Sutra" to restrain the evil art of ghost chess, and then deal with him after practice? Liu Baixi also said to himself: "This is not martial arts, a skill to suppress a skill, nor is it anything else that can be restrained by things, this is chess, a kind of self-cultivation, clear mind and wisdom of the elegant way, in addition to the difference between high and low, the difference between victory and defeat is not mutually abolishable." ”
Fang Guohuan shook his head and said: "Otherwise, the chess path is divided into evil and good, and there is a reason that evil cannot prevail over good, whether it is ghost chess or magic chess, it is nothing more than black and white chess pieces walking on the square ruler pattern. If the problem is not in the chess set and hurts people, although there are changes in the chess position, but all changes are not separated from the original, there must be a real chess way that can restrain this murderous chess way, and this real chess way is the chess of the transformation realm, which can transform and adapt to any changes on the chessboard. ”
