Chapter 155: Eighteen Palms of the Dragon Descending
Therefore, no matter in any world, such a top-notch adventure is prepared for the protagonist, this time there are many young heroes from the martial arts of the Sky Cliff Chess Club, but in fact, the two who are qualified to compete are Lin Chen and Xie Wudi, and the others are just foils.
In the valley of Li Village, a large area of flat land at the door has been swept out, and many tables have been set up, on which there are different Go endgames, and at this time, there are many teenagers meditating in front of the tables to solve the endgame.
When Lin Chen and his entourage arrived, Zhu Dingshan arched his hand to him and said:
"Then let's separate for the time being, although I don't have much hope, I have to try."
He nodded, and the rest of the sect said the same, and soon he was left alone.
The Crimson Empress wasn't by his side, she was hidden in the small building where he lived, and if anything happened he just had to let out a long howl, she would rush to her.
His strength is different from the past, unless several martial arts great masters besiege him, or the son of the abyss, Chu An, arrives in his true body, he will be fine.
Hands behind the back to a small table, on the end of a set of endgame, white and black dog teeth intertwined, you have me, I have you, almost covered the entire chessboard, count, there are only five spaces in it, by the challenger in these five spaces to determine the winner.
This is a very standard endgame, with a one-shot decision and no chance of regrets.
Standing at this table, there are four young knights and a servant of Li Zhuang, who is in charge of refereeing the table and fighting against the knights.
Although the first level of the chess club is not too difficult, it is not that simple, especially most of the young heroes have been practicing martial arts all their lives, how can they have time to study Go, and some may not even know how to play, and they are completely dumbfounded when they encounter this kind of endgame.
Of course, I have known for a long time that the chess meeting is related to chess, and many people are temporarily cramming to study chess games, but they also know a rough idea, know how to play, and the level...
Anyway, Lin Chen took a look at it and felt that this chess game was too complicated, just on the surface, the black and white sides were evenly matched, the number of chess pieces was not much different, and the dogs and teeth looked like both sides were dangerous, but they didn't know how to break the game.
His level of Go is similar to that of most of the young knights around him, and he is the master who only knows the basic rules.
Lin Chen knew his Go level very well, so he didn't think too much about it at all, just casually strolled around the tables.
It's not about which game is easy, it's about seeing which game you feel.
Zheng'er Ba is definitely no fun playing chess, but he is also a child of destiny, not to mention before, since he came back from the Western Regions, he has been slowly enjoying the treatment of the protagonist, like this adventure that should have been tailor-made for Xie Wuving, and now he also has his share, and he and Xie Wuving can compete for this opportunity.
In this way, how can the chess game in front of him stop him, and under the care of the world father, he can win without playing.
After all, the various competitions in film and television dramas, I have never heard that the protagonist can't pass the first level, he doesn't want face, the world's will dad wants face.
So what he has to do now is to find the feeling, and find the feeling that he can win even if he is blind.
Three minutes later, he turned to one of the tables, which was also a one-chess endgame, and as soon as his eyes fell, he suddenly felt a light in his eyes, and saw that one of the several empty seats on the table endgame was extraordinarily bright, and he immediately understood, and took out a white chess piece and was about to put it in a bright place, when he heard the servant at the table say:
"Shaoxia, you only have three chances to try, and you have no regrets, are you sure that you will fall?"
Lin Chen smiled slightly, and with a 'snap', the white son fell, and then looked up at the servant.
The servant lowered his head to check the endgame, took out another piece of paper to check it, pinched a black piece and fell, directly ate a small piece of white chess from him, and then looked up at Lin Chen and said:
"Shaoxia, you have been defeated."
Lin Chen frowned, then pinched out a white piece from the crockpot and landed somewhere on the chessboard, and said:
"Go on!"
The servant hesitated for a moment, then said:
"Shaoxia, your white son has been eaten by me, and you have been defeated?"
Lin Chen raised his eyebrows and said:
"I still have so many sons, and I still have a chance to win, can't I continue?"
A young man in white who was watching on the side smiled:
"Normally, of course, you can still go down, but you have been besieged and killed more than a dozen pieces, you are already at a disadvantage, and if you go down, you will lose, why not start again?"
"Oh, I thought I'd lose now."
Lin Chen smiled at the servant and continued:
"Go on, I want to turn the tables."
The servant could not, and there was indeed no rule that he could not continue playing, so he took out a new piece and put it on the chessboard, apparently preparing to besiege a big dragon of white chess and make him completely defeated.
But as soon as he fell, Lin Chen fell again.
The servant was stunned for a moment, and continued to fall into the sunspot.
Next, every time the servant finished falling, Lin Chen was almost white in seconds, as if he didn't need to think about it.
At first, the servant didn't care, but when the two sides had more than a dozen sons, he suddenly found that he was still four or five sons away from the planned siege of Baizi Dalong, but one of his own big dragons was surrounded by the counter-surrounding, and it was a dead end, no matter how he played, the other party could calmly besiege and kill his own big dragon.
The servant was stunned for a long time before abandoning the sunspot on the chessboard, admitting defeat, taking out a wooden waist card from his body and handing it to Lin Chendao:
"The son's chess skills are exquisite, the small one admits defeat, and he can enter the village to meet the old lady with this waist card."
Lin Chen arched his hand and laughed:
"Thank you!"
Mei Zizi stretched out her hand to take the waist card, slightly arched her hand to the dumbfounded man in white on the side, turned around and left.
In addition to passing the level, the more important reason is that the feeling of being the protagonist is so cool, just a game, he is completely random, except for the first three chess pieces with hints, and the back he is completely playing by feeling, there is no white light prompt at all, but the result is to defeat the sunspot in one breath, slaughter the opponent's big dragon in one bite, eat dozens of chess pieces, and directly make him lose confidence and surrender.
This is the aura of the legendary protagonist, and after the third son, it is not without the help of the will of the world, but in a different way.
Think about it, he is just a rookie who has just learned the rules of Go, and he is not a genius, under normal circumstances, where can he play Li Zhuang's servant who has the advantage of his own situation and has certain chess skills, all this is the effect of the aura of reducing intelligence, the servant's IQ dropped in the face of him, the son of destiny, and did not pay attention to the landing point of his white son, until the dragon was about to be slaughtered, he did not react, but he was powerless to return to the sky.
Entering Li Zhuang with a waist card, a yellow-clothed servant led him to the Xiaoyao Pavilion in the village, an attic covering a large area, and the yellow-clothed servant in the distance sang loudly:
"Flying Cloud Sect's true disciple Lin Chen has arrived!"
More than a dozen young knights in the hall looked at each other at the same time, and Lin Chen's gaze, who had initially entered the hall, met Xie Wuxian's gaze almost instantly, and both of them could see the undisguised killing intent in each other's eyes.
However, Lin Chen only glanced away and walked to the hall to bow to an old man sitting at the top, and said in a deep voice:
"Senior Lin Chen, meet Master Li."
This old man is not Li Yao, but Li Yao's son, and now the owner of Li Zhuang.
The old man nodded, pointed to a chair and motioned for Lin Chen to sit down, and said:
"Lin Xian's nephew's famous old man has heard of it, his martial arts are exquisite, he is jealous and hateful, he has walked the rivers and lakes for many years and killed countless demons, he is one of the best young heroes of the younger generation, and the old man can't compare to it when he is young, and it is a great blessing for the rivers and lakes to have this hero."
"Don't dare, don't dare!"
Lin Chen pretended to be humble and sat down on a chair not far away.
As if he was pretending, Li Zhuang said this was just polite, not long after he sat down, someone passed the endgame test one after another, Li Zhuang Master praised a lot, and it was difficult for him to say so many words of praise without repeating praise, and it was even more difficult for him to maintain a kind expression towards everyone.
Strictly speaking, there are only two days of chess clubs, in fact, the first day is related to the theme, and when the first batch of screening is completed, the eliminated can be a guest in the village, or they can leave, and the passers are concentrated in the next day to meet Li Yao's seniors, but he doesn't know how to decide the winner.
It's not quite appropriate to use the word winner to describe it, strictly speaking, this is not a competition, who to choose, in fact, it all depends on Li Yao's seniors' own choice, after all, his skills are his own, and it is his business to choose who to inherit.
It is said that Li Yao's predecessors made a big fanfare that this chess club should be for everyone to compete, but in fact, with the arrival of Xie Wuyi, the son of destiny, this competition is just a passing scene.
Lin Chen sat quite in the back position, and the seat at the front was next to Master Li Wuving, when no one came, Master Li Zhuang was chatting with Xie Wuving, and it seemed that the conversation was quite compatible. Unlike Li Junling's father who didn't like Xie Wudi a few days ago, Master Li Zhuang seemed to be quite optimistic about Xie Wuving as his grandson-in-law.
Sensing something, his eyelids raised, Lin Chen happened to see the smug gaze that Xie Wushu looked at, and he could read the meaning of Xie Wuving's gaze:
"I've won this chance!"
Lin Chen snorted lightly, turned his head and chatted with a bald monk on the side.
I don't know if it's a coincidence, the monk sitting next to him happens to be the monk of the Great Empty Temple, and there are two, one is a handsome monk with clear eyebrows and extremely handsome eyes, and the other is the thin monk he had a sense of before, and there are two people in the Great Empty Temple who came in through the chess meeting.
Through communication, he knew that the Jun monk among the two was the chief disciple of the Arhat Hall of the Great Sky Temple, called Mingkong, and the other thin monk was the chief disciple of the Dharma Hall, called Mingyuan.
In fact, in addition to participating in the chess meeting, they also have other tasks here, and when the chess meeting is over, the disciples of the Great Empty Temple will divide into several teams to deliver the letter.
They didn't say what kind of letter to send to Zhun Zhuan, and Lin Chen didn't ask, but it is estimated that it is not a trivial matter to see such a big chess drum.
The final selection of the heirs is tomorrow, they don't have to sit down all the time, they have waited for almost two hours, more than 20 people have gathered in the hall, the time is noon, there is a banquet in the village, and in the evening they will also stay in the village.
As soon as the time came, the owner of Li Zhuang clapped his hands and said loudly:
"It's noon, and the village has prepared thin wine, please come to the table!"
After speaking, he turned around and entered the inner hall behind the screen, and the others got up one after another and prepared to go out with Zhuang Ding, when they suddenly heard a small woman's voice greeting from behind, although the voice was very small, but all the young knights present had good martial arts, and they could hear it, and when they turned around, they saw a girl in a green skirt holding a bamboo paper fan to block her face, revealing a pair of big eyes full of affection looking at Xie Wudi, and quietly beckoning him to come over.
Everyone turned around at the same time and let her turn around in surprise and hide behind the screen, and soon a maid came out and said a few words in Xie Wudi's ear, Xie Wudi showed a smile on his face, turned around and arched his hand to the others and said:
"Friends are called, you are out of company, rude, rude!"
Even so, the smugness on his face couldn't be hidden, especially when he looked at Lin Chen, he was even more proud.
Lin Chen looked at him expressionlessly, and after he bowed his hand to the maid with a smug face, a sneer appeared on his face.
"What a naivety!"
In his eyes, Xie Wuving's series of actions was too stupid, I don't know if it was the usual smooth sailing that made him lose his vigilance, or if his confidence in himself was too much, or he underestimated the strength of his opponent, thinking that he would be able to surpass Lin Chen by winning this opportunity.
Of course, you can't blame him, although he is the protagonist of Destiny, but after all, his knowledge is limited, and he doesn't know that there is something in the world called Kaihang.
The inertia of the destiny of the world protagonist is too strong, even if he divides half of the destiny, the rest is enough for Xie Invincible to crush all other opponents to get this opportunity, even Lin Chen can't compare to it.
The time for him to obtain the mandate of heaven is too short, and this opportunity has already been arranged, just like the plot, it has been laid out when he met Li Junling a long time ago, and now everything is falling into place, just waiting for Xie Wushu to come and harvest the fruit.
In fact, Lin Chen guessed that if he hadn't obtained the Mandate of Heaven himself, there might not have been this chess club, he guessed that the real plot was that Xie Wushu and Li Junling returned to Li Zhuang, and then after a series of coincidences, Li Yao looked at him and directly passed on the gong empowerment, and there was nothing else to do at all, let alone suddenly engage in any free chess club.
It can be seen from this that he, a halfway monk, wants to compete with Xie Wudi, a son of destiny who has been arranged from the beginning, it is difficult to win in a normal way, and he can only win by surprise.
Lin Chen already has a plan, that is..... Kill Xie Wushu and kill him as soon as possible.
Wait until tomorrow to see Li Yao's seniors, if there is a chance, fight, if you can't fight, you will directly beat Xie Wushu to death.
There are many reasons, and he has already thought of a perfect reason, on the grounds that Xie Wushu is molesting his woman.
It doesn't matter if the reason is true or not, the point is that it can be said, many people saw it when Xie Wushu pestered the dragon girl in the valley, and many people saw it when he forcibly snatched the dragon girl back from Xie Wuving, these are all witnesses, and it is completely normal and reasonable for him to use this reason to seek revenge.
In this case, you don't even need to challenge you to do it directly, and he is afraid that Xie Wushu will not agree to the challenge, so if you do it directly, you must fight regardless of whether you agree or not.
Young people, they are light-hearted and strong-blooded, and it is completely reasonable to seek revenge for love!
