Chapter 18: Black and White
Much to Xiao Yat's expectations, the interior of Tianji Building is not a traditional floor partition type, but a structure similar to the later generation of tube buildings, divided into three floors, each floor is distributed with a variety of private rooms, just from the appearance, you know that the inside must be extremely luxurious. The hollow hall is square, and the round dome above forms a pattern of heaven and earth, which looks simple and natural; The center of the hall is a high, black and white gossip yin and yang fish-shaped chess field; At this time, there was a young Xiushi and a white-haired old man playing fiercely, and next to the two of them was a huge chessboard with a length and a width of one zhang, and two children in Tsing Yi completely copied the game of the two chess players on it for the surrounding guests to watch.
Go is said to be a national entertainment project in ancient China, from the nobles to the peddlers and pawns, almost everyone is obsessed with this way; Especially in this period, the scholars of this period are even more highly respectful of Go, scribes use it to exercise their intelligence, samurai use it to figure out the art of war, hermits use it to cultivate sentiments, countless military events in history, political conspiracy is in this small chess game, with a simple black and white two-handed talk to complete......
Although it is just a simple black and white chess piece, between this small chessboard composed of 19 rows and 19 verticals, it has its own heaven and earth, with the number of Zhou Tian on the top and yin and yang on the bottom; Heaven and earth, rise and fall, resourcefulness, weighing, killing and punishment...... It can be said that all the philosophical thoughts of human beings can be reflected in this square inch.
Jiang Gan explained on the side, it turned out that this Tianjilou was not only a place for talents to gather for a banquet, but also the first chess club in Luoyang City; The owner here also used a lot of money to hire some Go masters to sit here, called "Chess Doctors", and set a rule: if anyone can defeat all the chess doctors and masters here, not only can they immediately get a huge amount of money, but also get the honorary title of "Chess Saint Player", and leave their names here, engraved plaques to show off.
High honor naturally means high difficulty, although this move has attracted all kinds of literati to challenge, but unfortunately no one has really been able to defeat all the good players of all chess countries, there is really no strongest, only stronger, but what is the situation today...... Seems a bit peculiar.
It was almost noon, and the building was already overcrowded at this time, and the four of them had to find a table to sit down in a relatively remote side, and then several beautiful maids brought up all kinds of snacks and wine, looking at those graceful maids, the eyes of the cow and the horse almost didn't fall, and even Jiang Gan, a frequent visitor here, couldn't help but sneak a few glances; And the various dim sum is a few people who eat it are full of praise, especially when they learn that all the food and drink here are free, in addition to making people appetize, they can't help but marvel at the generosity of the owner!
It is said that there is no free lunch in the world, but it is eaten here, but as long as you think about it deeply, you will understand that there is a deep meaning behind this free lunch, and dim sum and wine are certainly valuable, but if you can gather the world's talents for your own use through this move, it will be a million profits.
On the chess field, the young man and the old man have played against each other to a critical moment, the young man holds white, the old man holds black, the two have killed to the middle game, the black and white on the chess game are like two armies that are fighting fiercely, attacking, defending, sneak attack, luring the enemy deep, all kinds of tactics emerge in endlessly, the fight is extremely fierce, and it seems that white chess has the upper hand.
From the earnest whispers of those spectators next to him, Xiao Yi learned that the young man on the stage was also the first time to come to Tianjilou today, and as soon as he appeared, he was a blockbuster, and he lost three 'chess doctors' in a row in a morning's kung fu, and the victory was clean and neat, which was convincing; in the end, Tianjilou had no choice but to invite the oldest and deepest chess player 'Dr. Sun' out to play against him, but it seemed that he still couldn't suppress the momentum of the young man.
Xiao Yat is also a hardcore Go lover in the original time and space (otaku seem to like to play chess), although he is only an amateur chess player, but he is very obsessed with this, when he was in the game room on the Internet, he has also fought countless Go masters in the world, although he has been suffering from poor results, winning less and losing more, but his enthusiasm has not diminished at all, he has been defeated and defeated, and he has taken the opportunity to watch many classic chess games.
I saw the young man in the chess world, twenty-seven or eighteen years old, with a slightly red complexion, a straight nose and a straight mouth, his eyebrows flew into his sideburns, his cheeks were distinct, and his face was full of resoluteness, and his chess style was the same as that of people, extremely fierce, at this time, under his control, white chess continued to launch waves of fierce attacks, and the moves were fought to kill, and there was a great momentum of moving forward, and the 'Dr. Sun' who only killed the 'Dr. Sun' only had the ability to parry, and had no power to fight back.
Finally, looking at the chess game that has no power to return to the sky, the white-haired 'chess doctor' sighed, and after a little silence, he glanced at the other party with a look of appreciation mixed with unwillingness, and then grabbed a handful of sunspots and threw them on the chessboard, which is called 'throwing a son to admit defeat' in Go terminology......;
Suddenly, there was a big uproar among the people in the audience, even the most profound chess player 'Dr. Sun' is not the opponent of this young man, it is not the master who is going to engrave a plaque today, and for a while, everyone in the audience talked about it, and many people secretly inquired about the young man's origin and origin, and it seemed that he was going to recruit him.
"In Shimoda Feng, the character Yuan Hao, Hebei people's clan, dare to ask who is willing to come to the stage to teach?" According to the rules, as long as he shouted three times in a row, and no one came to the stage within the time of a stick of incense, then he could engrave a plaque and leave his name, and the benefits that followed, in addition to a generous bonus, could make him immediately worth a hundred times and become the object of those wealthy families.
Listening to Tian Feng's shouting, although there were many people in the audience eager to try, but no one dared to go on stage, and the outstanding record of defeating four 'chess doctors' in a row was really prohibitive; even Jiang Gan, who was sitting next to Xiao Yi, also had a look of disgruntle, he stood up several times, and sat down helplessly, no way, with his chess ability, he couldn't even play the ordinary 'chess doctor', and it was just a shame to go up at this time. As for using the method of wheel warfare to consume a person's energy and physical strength, and finally win despicably, it is not the style of the scholars of this era, and it will attract boundless shame.
At this time, Tian Feng had already shouted for the third time, looking at the surroundings but no one dared to compete on stage, Xiao Yi smiled slightly, stood up, and strode towards the chess arena in the surprise of the surroundings. Although he is only one person, he walks with the momentum of thousands of horses and thousands of troops behind him......
Tian Feng, who was beaming proudly on the altar, suddenly saw that a man in black walked up, and hurriedly looked at it, only to see that this person was seventeen or eighteen years old, with a slender figure, a wolf's back and a bee's waist, and a handsome little face was slightly dark, especially those two eyes, which were as black as ink, as if they could devour everything.
"Yuyang Xiaoyi, please advise!" After returning the salute, Xiao Yat did not say much, and was in the black position, ready to start.
When the ancients played chess, there was no rule that black first and white followed by white in later generations, but grabbed a chess piece and guessed the odd and even, the middle went first, which was fair and reasonable; When Tian Feng guessed, Zhibai went first.
Sure enough, it was still such a strong chess style, and after Bai Zi gained a foothold a little, he immediately launched a fierce offensive, making moves to fight and kill, and he had the potential to cover the sky with one hand; In the face of the white chess that was pressing step by step, Xiao Yi smiled slightly, the chess style was not chaotic at all, he didn't care about the gains and losses of one city and one place, but he continued to strengthen his defense line step by step, and constantly weakened the opponent's strength by absorbing water in the desert.
If Tian Feng's white chess is a sharp spear, then Xiao Yi's black chess at this time is like a towering mountain, the top of the mountain is towering into the clouds, covered with snow all the year round, as thick as clouds, and no matter how sharp the spear is, it is difficult to penetrate the mountains; Sure enough, one blow, then decline, three and exhaustion; When White's three strong attacks failed, Tian Feng's momentum immediately fell, and Xiao Yi's counterattack began, using one of the moves that were like the snow rolling in the mountains--- "Big Avalanche!" ”
'Big Avalanche', taking high and taking momentum, the black chess pieces that have been completely thick and high, just like the mountain avalanche, carrying the power of ten thousand jun, poured down, and instantly smashed and devoured Tian Feng's blunt spear; And the weakness of white chess with heavy front and light back also completely exploded at this time, and as soon as the striker was destroyed, the whole line immediately collapsed, and the whole line collapsed, and it was defeated......
Looking at the chess game in front of him, Tian Feng's sideburns were also sweating, and his originally reddish face was nervous to turn purple and blue, the spiritual impact of Go on the chess player was very great, especially the momentum of the other party's alpine avalanche, and he was even more depressed, and he couldn't breathe, and he couldn't return to the ......sky, "I have practiced chess skills for many years, and I have never been invincible in the land of Hebei, I didn't expect to lose today in the hands of a teenager who is much younger than myself, it is really a heaven outside the sky, and there are people outside the world......" Looking at Xiao Yi's obviously younger little face opposite, Tian Feng couldn't help but sigh like this.
Losing is losing, although Tian Feng's personality is strong, but he is not a person who can't afford to lose, the gentleman is frank, he sighed at the moment, abandoned his son and admitted defeat, got up and arched to the end, and said: "Xiao Lang is talented, Tian Feng has been taught!" Then he strode off the stage in a dashing manner, a manly man, winning or losing neatly!
At this time, the audience was even more uproar, but he didn't expect Tian Feng, who had won all four battles, to lose in the hands of an unknown young man, and for a while, they exchanged heads and ears, asking about the origin of this black-clothed young man's teacher, and he was a little anxious at this time, he was already standing under the stage, ready to win over Xiao Yi immediately......
