Chapter 25: The Rain Curtain

"Childe, where are we going?" Standing in front of a simple gazebo, Juan'er looked at the sky and said, "It seems to be raining." ”

"I don't know too much." Chen Mo looked at the sky, it was still sunny before, it was just a little more than an hour, and it was already cloudy, but his sudden increase in luck did not encounter anything, which made Chen Mo a little strange, could it be that this thing was not a good thing but helped him avoid a disaster?

As he spoke, raindrops were already falling.

As a last resort, the two had to hide in the pavilion, there were a few old men playing chess in the pavilion before, it should be a famous man in Luoyang, Chen Mo didn't know any of them, and it was not easy to come forward to disturb, at this moment, seeing that it was raining, and there was no shelter from the rain around, Chen Mo had to take Juan'er into this pavilion.

The old men who played the game before had already left, and only one person was left who should be the one who played chess, and at this moment he was looking down to ponder the endgame on the chessboard, and when he saw the two of them coming in, he did not show displeasure, but just bowed his head slightly and continued to bow his head to study.

"Disturb." Chen Mo made a salute, the old man's head was half white, but his spirit was quite good, looking forward to it, although peaceful, but there was a sense of not anger and majesty in it, Chen Mo speculated that the old man's identity should not be low, but he would not rashly recognize each other.

"Childe is looking for someone?" Seeing that the rain was getting heavier outside, it was obvious that he couldn't leave, and the servant next to him took out a small stove to cook wine, looked at Chen Mo and smiled: "The old man has seen the son go back and forth here three times before. ”

"Sort of." Chen Mo nodded, turned his head to see Juan'er shivering from the cold, shook his head, and reached out to untie his robe to help Juan'er put it on, but his eyes fell on the chessboard that had never been played.

"Childe, Juan'er is not cold." Juan'er hurriedly shook her head.

"Then hold it." Chen Mo said casually, but his eyes were gradually attracted by the unfinished chess game, he is also a good chess person, as early as three years ago, chess skills have been praised by Zang Hong, but in the past three years, I have played many games with my teacher, and I still lose more and win less, but it also stimulates Chen Mo's enthusiasm for chess skills, and now I see the endgame played by the old man and others, I can't help but think in my heart, the chess strength of this old man and another person is obviously not weak.

"Childe is also good at chess?" The old man seemed to be aware of it, glanced up at Chen Mo, and asked with a smile: "Who does Childe think will win and who will lose in this game of chess?" ”

"The current situation can be said to be an opponent, but if you move ten more pieces, the sunspot will lose." Chen Mo was immersed in the chessboard, and without thinking about it, he directly said his judgment.

"Oh?" When the old man heard this, he was interested, looked at the rain curtain outside and smiled: "Why don't you try it?" ”

"This ......" Chen Mo was shocked at this time, and said with a smile: "The junior is rude and offended the elders, I hope the elders will forgive me." ”

I can't figure out the identity of the other party, Chen Mo can only be called an elder, and if he is called Ah Weng, it seems too intimate and inappropriate.

"It's okay, at the age of Childe, it's rare to have such a heart for chess skills." The old man pointed to the chessboard: "It's just time to be a white child, the son might as well give it a try." ”

"Offended." Chen Mo nodded, twisted ten white pieces from the chess cup, thought about it, and grabbed some more.

"Childe doesn't have to worry about it, come down." The old man looked amused and gestured.

Chen Mo stopped talking nonsense and settled down directly.

"Rare." Seeing this, the old man smiled slightly, and then a sunspot fell.

Hey?

Seeing this, Chen Mo frowned slightly, looked up at the old man, and said suspiciously: "This step of the elder seems to be meaningless. ”

"You go down." When the old man heard this, he shook his head and smiled.

Chen Mo nodded when he heard this, didn't say more, continued to leave the second son, and ate the old man's five sons, on the chessboard, the momentum of the sunspot has become more and more vigorous, on the other hand, the white son has been weak.

But the old man didn't seem to see it, and he was not in a hurry to save his son, but he was just a son on the left and a son on the right, fluctuating, and seemed meaningless.

Bravado?

Chen Mo frequently looked at the old man, but felt that the old man was not such a trickster or a reckless person, so, Chen Mo even played nine sons, and the old man did not stop him, but Chen Mo did have a sense of tastelessness, as long as the last son fell, this game of chess, Bai Zi won.

"Yes, the chess style is fierce, at your age, it is good to have such chess strength." The old man looked at Chen Mo and smiled.

"The elder has a good reputation, and the younger generation just borrows the strength of the previous elder, and he is not martial." Chen Mo smiled politely, but he was a little bored in his heart, he thought that he had met a chess master, but now it seems that the old man saw that he couldn't win, so he made a few random moves.

"Win?" The old man looked at Chen Mo in surprise when he heard this: "Young man's vision is too narrow after all, so, what do you think of the victory?" ”

As he spoke, the old man landed a sunspot on top of Tian Yuan.

"Tian Yuan?" Chen Mo frowned and looked at the old man, this is still a waste, his last son fell, the winner was decided, he wanted to let go, but the old man came down......

Chen Mo's eyes widened suddenly, and he looked at the situation on the chessboard in amazement, the originally languishing sunspot, with the old man's last son falling Tianyuan, the previous few steps that seemed to be a waste of sunspots echoed each other, before Chen Mo held the white son to kill the Quartet, but at this moment, with the fall of this son, it was the old man who was ambushed on all sides, if Chen Mo's last son fell, the dead would not be a black son but a white son.

Bai Ziqi's qi was cut off by this Tianyuan Yizi, Shengsheng.

"The elder was ...... before" Chen Mo raised his head in some surprise, looked at the old man and said, "Layout? ”

"I can see this, your chess skills have surpassed ninety percent of the chess players in the world, but you are just borrowing the remaining momentum, and you are not capable." The old man shook his head and smiled.

"......" Chen Mo looked at the old man a little speechless, his previous modest words came out of the old man's mouth at the moment, and he was a little panicked, but he was free and easy, the last sunspot did not fall after all, he shook his head and sighed: "The elder chess skills are amazing, and the juniors are far inferior." ”

"Throw in the towel?" The old man looked at Chen Mo with a smile.

"The juniors can't think of a way to turn the tables." Chen Mo nodded helplessly, and finally gradually broke free from the teacher's pressure, and as soon as he arrived in Luoyang, he was taught another lesson.

"And how about you and me swap?" The old man looked at Chen Mo and said with a smile: "Now the old man is holding the white son, and you are holding the black son again." ”

"This ......" Chen Mo looked at the chessboard, shook his head and said: "The victory has been decided, and the return to heaven is powerless, although Mo is not talented, he does not want to be ...... this"

"Humiliation?" The old man looked at Chen Mo, shook his head and smiled: "Young man, your heart is high, this life is like this game of chess, before the end, don't be discouraged!" The old man doesn't want to humiliate you, it's just that it's rare to meet such a talented junior, so ......"

From Chen Mo's chessboard, he picked up a white piece and landed on the chessboard.

"This ......" Chen Mo was stunned, Bai Zi was not killed in a full game as he imagined, but this move......

couldn't help but twist a sunspot and fall down the chess game laid by the old man, but he failed to kill, and he was still one son away.

"That's just the way it is." The old man dropped the white son on the chessboard, and the situation changed again, and the black son was killed by the white son.

Chen Mo sat on the stone pier in a daze, silent for a long time, and suddenly closed his eyes.

"Childe?" Juan'er on the side stepped forward with some worry.

"Don't bother him." The old man shook his head and smiled, "Help the old man tidy up the chessboard." ”

"Oh~" Juan'er didn't know why, the old man's words seemed to have a magical power, and she unconsciously did what the old man said.

The rain outside the pavilion was a little heavier, and the pavilion was like an island trapped in the rain, but the scenery in the distance was dimly visible, just like Chen Mo's state of mind at the moment, he seemed to have found the little bit that his teacher had been saying......
