The original huge crowd was only a dozen or so left at the second gate.

There are seven disciples guarding the gate here.

Next to the second door, there is a protruding stone platform, about three or four zhang square. These seven disciples stood on the stone platform, in staggered positions.

Yang Shu went up and asked, "How many immortal elders, what is the second test question?" ”

The young man in the Taoist uniform at the head hugged his fists and replied, "Play chess." ”

"How?"

"Childe, look," the young man pointed to his feet, and everyone realized that a white line had been drawn with lime on it, "This is a chessboard, and the seven of us are seven chess pieces." The test-takers, standing at the entrance at the other end, will change with each step, and the positions of the seven of us will also change. If you don't go the right way and the positions overlap, you will be attacked. If the test taker gets to my position, he or she wins. ”

Yang Shu thought about it carefully and smiled: "In this way, there are two ways to pass the test. First, find out the rules and crack the chess game. Second, the force is high enough to pick out the opponent when attacked. Is that right? ”

The young man bowed his head: "Childe is right. ”

Yang Shu nodded, but sat down next to him: "In this case, this son will first observe how this chess game is broken." ”

The young man arched his hand with a smile: "As long as it doesn't affect the chess game, the son is free." ”

If he doesn't play, he will embarrass others.

I thought that Yang Shu would take the lead and sum up his experience, maybe he would be able to take advantage. Now that he doesn't move, won't he move himself? That's too deliberate.

The scribes who barely passed the previous gate were all brightened when they saw the chessboard.

The literati are proud of their erudition, and their conceited talents are extremely wide, and chess skills and formations are their skills!

Someone immediately took a closer look.

After a while, a son of the Wenchen family stood up: "A few immortal elders, Xiaosheng is willing to give it a try." ”

The young Taoist priest stretched out his hand: "Please." ”

This person stood in the starting position, fixed his mind, and took the first step.

As soon as he stood still, the seven disciples of Xuanduguan immediately changed their positions.

This man looked at it and was overjoyed. This position was roughly similar to what he had calculated, indicating that he had been thinking correctly. So the second step was taken.

The position of the seven disciples changed again.

The child's expression became slightly solemn.

Compared to what he calculated, there was a slight difference.

It took him a while before he took the third step.

This time, the position was deviated again, and one of them was a little closer to his position.

He could only stabilize his mind and recalculate. His algorithm should be correct, but the basis may be a little different......

After waiting for a moment, he cautiously took the fourth step.

The position of the seven changed again, and the one who was closer was farther away, but another person broke into his safe range.

He wiped the sweat from his forehead and continued to calculate.

Five-step, six-step, seven-step......

The more difficult it became for him to walk, and he struggled to survive among the seven. This one is farther away, and the other one is nearer. In order not to be attacked, it was clear that he was already close to the end, and he had to go farther.

Walking to the tenth step, the young Taoist priest led by him stepped in front of him: "Childe, our position is heavy. ”

This person's face darkened, and he arched his hand: "Xiaosheng has no martial arts, since he is heavy, he is defeated." Before retreating, please ask the immortal chief to solve your doubts. In this formation, I can see the seven sets of formations of Qimen, yes or no? ”

The young Taoist priest said with a smile: "It is not easy for Childe to see seven sets of formations. To tell the truth, there are a total of thirteen formations in this game. ”

"There are actually thirteen sets of ......," the boy sighed, "It's because I'm not skilled enough, and I have to study hard when I go back." Thank you for your advice. ”

The challenge failed, but he did not lose his grace.

When the emperor saw it, he also nodded: "Don't be arrogant or discouraged, whose son is this?" ”

Immediately, an attendant replied: "Your Majesty, this is the son of the Yan family." ”

The emperor smiled and said: "It turned out that after Yan Gong, he didn't shame the ancestors!" ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone was envious of the defeated Yan Gongzi.

Isn't participating in this competition just to attract the attention of the emperor? It can make the emperor remember that it is completely worth it!

The second test taker came out. This one is a martial arts practitioner, and he said at the beginning: "This Qimen formation, I don't know anything, I can only look at this brute force, whether I have the ability to break the level." A few immortal elders, I asked! ”

This one was really just walking around randomly, and it didn't take a few steps to overlap with one of them. Since he said that he wanted to challenge by force, this Xuanduguan disciple was not polite, and directly attacked.

After the two of them passed twenty moves, he took a step back: "Twenty moves have passed, Xiaodao has been temporarily beaten back, if Childe wants to directly knock Xiaodao out, you can continue, if you choose to continue to move forward, stop here." ”

The man was overjoyed. It turns out that it only takes twenty strokes to do, and that's still very promising!

He chose to move on.

After walking two steps, he met another disciple on a narrow path.

After barely passing twenty moves, this time he only took one step and ran into the third disciple.

In this way, in the fifth encounter, he was finally defeated and regretfully exited.

In the second gate, three people were eliminated in a row, and finally one of them got through.

He also chose to force the level, but he was lucky, only encountered three times, and successfully reached the finish line.

This person got the gossip copper coin, and he was so happy that he almost wanted to run around along the asking platform.

Then, another scholar came on the field.

With the first warning, he walked extremely carefully, and he knew a lot about the way of Qimen, and reached the end without danger.

In the end, three people successfully got the gossip copper coin.

Except for the four people of Xuanduguan, as well as Ming Wei and Ji Xiaowu, everyone else has finished competing.

Yang Shu stretched his waist and stood up: "My son already has an experience, come on!" ”

The young Taoist priest at the head still smiled: "Childe, please." ”

Yang Shu stood in the starting position and took the first step. Looking at the changing positions of the seven, he laughed and approached one of them.

In the fourth step, the two met in a narrow way.

Yang Shu didn't say a word, his wrist flipped over, and the folding fan knocked out.

That's how the two got into each other.

Twenty moves passed in the blink of an eye, and he didn't have the slightest intention of stopping, but one move was more ruthless than the other, almost putting the opposition to death.

The disciples who can be sent to guard the pass are naturally extraordinary. But under his step-by-step pressure, he slowly showed his defeat.

The princes and nobles who watched the battle, some were surprised, and some were relieved.

"Don't you say that the three boys of the Yang family recruit cats and dogs all day long, and they don't learn and have no skills? How can you do this? ”

"He's not useless, the eldest princess and the Marquis of Xianboling have knowledge under the spring, and they can also look at it."

The emperor saw it and nodded with satisfaction: "It's still the imperial sister who teaches well, this kid has been mixed up for so many years, and he hasn't been mixed in vain." ”

Pei Guifei smiled silently.

Jiang Sheng listened, and his eyes became heavier.
