After Zhuge Liang promised Old Man Lu to go back to the pharmacy with him, Diao Zheng and Diao Qian went to gather people and prepared to set off into the city.

Old man Lu's pharmacy is between Jia Hao and Jia Li's house, that is, on the side of Wudong Road, but it is not far from Diao Zheng's house on West Road, after all, Yiwu is not big.

Walking out of Diao Zheng's house again, it was still snowing faintly, and Zhuge Liang's eyes were no longer empty and silent on the side of the road outside the house when he went to the school field before dinner, and the women in every household were preparing breakfast.

Walk along the way...... What catches the eye is that the women of each family are preparing things for the men of her family to enter the city, and the men are carrying the packages they need, things to exchange for other items with the people in the county, and so on.

Such a large purchasing team is generally once a year, and every year when the beginning of spring is approaching and the New Year's Day is not far away, Juyiwu will send a group into the city.

In addition to buying goods demanded by the government, people in Juyiwu often buy things for private needs, and "bartering" is a common means of transaction.

It was their means of making a living, although the Northland was plagued by war and was often infested with thieves. However, if you don't do this, you can't survive, and you often have to go to several counties to buy enough and exchange all kinds of goods before you can return to the dock.

Zhuge Liang understands the hardships of the conditions, because he also often travels to and from the north.

When he came to Old Man Lu's house, Zhuge Liang learned that Lu Jing was still alone, had never taken a wife or concubine, and had no children or grandchildren.

Because of one person, when the house was built, Old Man Lu only let him build a main hall and a pharmacy. On weekdays, people are treated and injured in the pharmacy, and the main hall is a place for all daily life, such as eating and sleeping, bathing every other day, etc.

If you want to go to the toilet, you usually borrow someone else's toilet.

Walking into Old Man Lu's pharmacy, Zhuge Liang felt that this place was a little wider than the main hall of Lu Jing's house, with a medium and large medicine cabinet on the left, and a desk on the right that was higher than an ordinary desk for seeing a doctor and playing chess.

And as soon as he saw the chess, Zhuge Liang's hand was a little itchy, "Lu Lao, this chess piece ...... Are you homemade? And this chess table, such a beautiful ......"

"Oh, it's just a bit of fun."

"Shall you have a round? I haven't played chess in a long time. ”

In the face of Zhuge Liang's kind invitation, Old Man Lu was a little surprised, originally wanted to take this opportunity to take a good look at Zhuge Liang.

"Maybe chess is character, maybe you can find out who this person is." But okay, Old Man Lu thought about it like this, and simply agreed to Zhuge Liang.

So the two sat opposite each other, put the chess table on the desk, placed the chess pieces, and gave each other a salute.

As far as ordinary people are concerned, as a junior, it is their duty to respect the elderly and be humble. However, as far as Zhuge Liang was concerned, he didn't think so, but thought that Old Man Lu couldn't do it, "Uncle Lu, please take the lead in Bai!" ”

PS：

In ancient times, the color of the first side of Go was generally white, and there were times when black went first, but now it is black first, and the eye system is implemented.

Judging from the writings in the "Book of Chess" (there are two, this is the Dunhuang book), combined with other early historical materials, ancient scores and unearthed cultural relics related to Go, we can know that the nineteen-way chessboard was born no earlier than the Eastern Han Dynasty, and then from the records of the nineteen-way chessboard of the Jin Dynasty and the Northern and Southern Dynasties, we can know that the nineteen-way chessboard is likely to appear in the Wei and Jin dynasties, and it will not be later than the Jin Dynasty at the latest, and it will be fully promoted in the following time, and gradually replace the seventeen-way chessboard.

However, the author's setting here is the nineteen-way chessboard, because the author thinks that the nineteen-way chessboard will not appear later than the Eastern Han Dynasty, after all, after the enlightenment of the 9th and 13th roads, the author always thinks that the 19-way chessboard is the most perfect stage for Go, and the wisdom of the ancients is always beyond imagination, so although there is no historical data and ancient records unearthed cultural relics to prove that there were 19-way chessboards during the two Han Dynasty, but the author feels that the birth time of the 19-way chessboard should be pushed forward a little, and then enter the annals of history, and eventually replace the mainstream 17-way at that time.

But I still have to make it clear that the setting here is not very reliable historical evidence, and I hope it needs to be confirmed.

///////////////////////////////////////////

Although it is reasonable to respect the elder, what is the matter with Ge Zhuang's smile? Look down on the old man?

Old man Lu has the highest chess strength as Juyiwu, and even when he was a doctor in the army before, he even won the game against Huangfu Song, of course he can't bear the overconfidence of his juniors.

Therefore, he accepted Zhuge Liang's proposal and insisted on white first.

"Then the old man might as well be respectful."

"Please."

Old man Lu will ponder chess when he is free on weekdays, and "playing" is also one of his great hobbies, so his chess ability is already good, and he is called "Lu Qi Doctor" by the good players in Juyiwu.

It means that Old Man Lu can integrate the wisdom of Go into his medical skills, and he has a deep grasp of it.

Of course, Zhuge Liang didn't know anything about it, but he was not a vegetarian, and since he was a child when he came into contact with Go, he fell in love with this intellectual game, and he forgot to sleep and eat.

However, Zhuge Liang despised such things as gambling on chess, and legend has it that the purpose of Yao's invention of Go was to change the stubborn son Danzhu, which was extremely sacred. And Go does have the effect of persuading people to be good and making people change unconsciously, so gambling on chess is hateful and hateful.

Old man Lu started with a small flying in the lower left corner, and Zhuge Liang didn't deserve it, flying big in the upper right to defend the corner.

was only the first hand, which made Old Man Lu feel that this person was either vulgar in chess, or extraordinary, completely different from the opponents he had encountered before, "Da Fei Shou?" Okay, hang again! ”

Old man Lu thought he was thoughtful, but Zhuge Liang was very indifferent, as if he had dealt with this situation many times.

"Although it is not so bad and urgent to have a corner double-hung, but to keep this corner, if you don't deal with it properly, it will generally outweigh the gains, and it will basically be hollowed out...... This young man is so calm, it seems that he has two brushes. ”

The rich experience told Old Man Lu that the person who could be so calm and pressed, not to mention that this act (zhǔo) didn't seem to filter Zhuge Liang's brain at all, and was quickly put on the chessboard by him.

This shows that Zhuge Liang has encountered similar situations countless times before, and it is very likely that he often uses this way of opening, so Old Man Lu began to get serious.

After all, 一着 (zhǔo) is wrong, and you lose all the games.

At the end of the prelude, Old Man Lu's double hanging not only did not achieve the expected effect, but instead made Zhuge Liang's left chess begin to settle down, and at the same time, there was a great tendency to advance to the mid-abdomen.

Since it didn't meet expectations, Old Man Lu felt that it was not bad to close the corner and go thicker, so he let go of his hands and feet, and simply led the battle directly in the upper right corner.

Because Zhuge Liang had become a big flying guard, and it was not reasonable to choose to hang the corner, Old Man Lu directly led the battle, seeking victory in the battle and fighting for benefits.

At the same time, he also aims to destroy Zhuge Liang's chess shape, and if the chess shape is bad, the chess will be bad.

The two of them became more and more fascinated, Zhuge Liang's smile became more and more, and Old Man Lu frowned more and more.

"Huh? …… Am I doing this by mistake? ”

At the critical point, Old Man Lu couldn't help but stop his hand and asked.

Then he muttered: "If you go out, you will be forced, and the demolition is too small and not yet clean." If you are forced to clamp it...... If it's too slow, it may turn into a two-sided war...... If the black pieces are dismantled, I'm afraid this piece will be ......."

"What? Old Lu, don't you dare to fight hard? ”

Zhuge Liang's provocation made the old man Lu, who had just been slightly better, feel very uncomfortable, and decisively made a strong move to further expand the war.

And at this moment, the two of them didn't know that there was a person standing behind Zhuge Liang, "Huh? It should be closed out on the 15th of April. If it is only a split, black can not only close the door and hit the dog, even if it is first split two to stabilize it, and then it is ...... to attack white again."

"Hmph, wouldn't it be better to dismantle it first and then attack? However, being able to see these moves shows that his chess skills have been introduced, but he is not an elite. "Watching chess is silent, a true gentleman, this person doesn't know how to be good or bad, Zhuge Liang looks back with contempt.

Old man Lu, who lowered his eyebrows, also raised his head to look at the man, "Shuping, are you here?" ”

"I've been here for most of the time...... I don't know who this is? ”

"In Xia Gezhuang, a guest staying at Brother Diao's house temporarily."

"Oh, let's go on, we're not done yet...... Wonderful. ”

Li Yan (the word Shuping) is dressed as a gentleman, the same age as Old Man Lu, and is a tutor at Juyiwu Library. In his early years, he was a Maocai, and he joined Juyiwu because of the Yellow Turban Rebellion, and because he was the most literate in Juyiwu, he became the gentleman of Yiwu School.

But his curriculum is very monotonous, either the Analects or the Spring and Autumn Period, and the children don't like his classes very much, but his Confucian kung fu is really strong, but it's a bit rotten.

Speaking of his Maocai name, there is also a past, Li Yan himself always said that if it weren't for the Yellow Turban, he could buy an official.

Now people are gone, and the only wealth they have is gone. I have been a gentleman for 12 years......

Fortunately, there is such a close friend as Lu Jing who is linked to culture, and occasionally you can recite the Analects and Poetry or something, and playing chess is also a daily activity of the two.

I came to find Lu Jing today to play against him, but I never wanted to be preempted by this guy.

"Is that why you have three sandwiches...... I'm in a dilemma right now......"

Old man Lu muttered a few more words, the previous situation was really not good for him, and Zhuge Liang's smile was put away because of Li Yan on the side, after all, the next thing is the climax, and now he can't show his stuffing.

In terms of chess strength, Li Yan is only a little worse than Old Man Lu, so he can still understand how the situation is, "This young man is not simple~ Since the beginning of the prelude, he has been playing very atmospheric, and he has a good layout." It would not have been possible to do this without a strong big-picture view......"

“…… Isn't the old man very verbose when he plays chess...... Bother. Facing the two old men who were muttering, Zhuge Liang couldn't help but complain in his heart.

The further back he went, the more difficult it became for Old Man Lu, and his brows were almost locked.

"This?! Terrible, the black chess pieces are all in one, and they are natural. I never thought that this kid's overall control ability is so strong, and he makes the best use of all parts of the chess to form such a perfect chess game...... ...... this man is?"

At the end of the game, the black chess victory was decided, and Old Man Lu not only did not get the much information he wanted, but was more confused. Ordinary people, not to mention their excellent chess skills, even have a decent chess practice is a problem, because they have no chance to touch Go more deeply.

As a wanderer, at this age and chess strength, unless Ge Zhuang's family is very wealthy, he can provide a lot of time and materials for him to practice chess. Otherwise...... It can only be a rare genius......

More importantly, what is the relationship between him and Xiliang Ma Teng, and why he was hunted down by the Ma family's own soldiers, and all this should be seen in the quality and background reflected by his strong chess power.

Li Yan also felt that it was not a good brain, and it was impossible for a shrewd person to defeat Old Man Lu who was his fierce rival, although there was the influence of his good face here.

It is not a gentleman's trip to lose but not to vote, so the old man Lu sighed, "Alas, the old man lost, and it was not until a hundred hands later that he saw that your layout was exquisite, and my chess was clumsy, and I had to make up for it everywhere...... Wonderful, wonderful~"

"Lu Lao has an overreputation, if he didn't respond to the situation, he wouldn't be like this. It's just that most of this system and change also serve the big purpose and are not visible to you, so it can become one. ”

Watching the game from the sidelines, Li Yan, who kept admiring black chess during the whole game of chess, couldn't sit still, "It's wonderful, but there is one thing about black chess that I can't figure out......"

These words were like thunder, Zhuge Liang and Old Man Lu couldn't help but look at Li Yan together, "Where?" ”

"That's ......" Li Yan looked at Zhuge Liang with some doubts, the black chess had won, and he was afraid of being laughed at if he brought it up, but in the end he slowly said: "You seem to be doing a "chess that is not a good move". ”
