Chapter 11 The ghost town explores the yin and yang, and dreams of the magic machine together
We drove all the way to the ghost town of Pingdu Mountain. "Laugh at the sergeant of the world, sink the soul of North Fengdu". This is a famous sentence left by the poet immortal Li Bai, showing the people of the world a life truth about life and death, coming and going.
We went down the Yangtze River and finally hid in the mountains on the shore. Legend has it that the ancestor Zhang Daoling Heavenly Master is here to fight the ghosts, subdue the demons of the outer way, the Heavenly Master is the way of the Xuan, the demons are invincible, after which the demons surrender, the people are happy, Tiandu Mountain is also one of the seventy-two blessed places of Taoism. Zhang Shifan and I are in this mountainous area, holding the sheepskin scroll but I don't know where to go, after discussing, according to the northeast and southwest direction of the mountain range, there are undeveloped primeval forests in the southwest, and the northeast is basically developed into a tourist attraction, so let's go to the southwest to explore it deeply.
Halfway through, we sat down on a big rock to take a nap, put the treasure bag aside, and drank some water to replenish our strength. Then I heard a gurgling sound of water on the ground, and when I turned my head to look, I almost squirted out a mouthful of water. "I'll go, this dog, become a sperm!" I stammered. I saw that the little tengu bit the cap of the pure milk bottle, hugged the bottle and raised his head to drink it refreshingly. The little tengu glanced at me again, took a break, drank it by himself, and slowly crawled back into Zhang Shifan's treasure bag after drinking. During this time, Xiao Tiangu and Zhang Shifan got along like one person, I was a little jealous, obviously I brought them here, but I rolled my eyes at me every day, and I didn't give a good face, alas. When Zhang Shifan saw this scene, he smiled happily, kissed the little tengu, and then picked up the treasure bag and said, "Brother Long, let's go." "Xiaofan, why do I feel that your bag is very heavy, what are you carrying?" I asked. "Ah, no, nothing, not heavy." Zhang Shifan replied. "Not heavy? Tell me honestly, how much milk did you bring? "I deliberately pulled my face." I didn't pull it, only five or five bottles, and I could carry it without it. Zhang Shifan replied. I'm really a little helpless, it's good now, come out and bring a bunch of milk, it's really interesting. "Get the milk out." I said. She shook her head, "No, no, really, I promise to carry it, don't lose it, the little tengu likes to drink." This little girl, "What to lose, you are a little tengu is yours and mine." Take it out, put it in my bag, I'll carry it for you, hurry up. She exclaimed happily, "I'll just say, Brother Long is the best." "As she spoke, she took the milk, and then put it in my treasure bag, and she took out eight bottles of milk." Ouch, I said, Miss, you have five bottles. "Hehe, this, almost. Besides, the little tengu likes to drink. Zhang Shifan said embarrassedly.
The words are divided into two ends. Just as Zhang Shifan and I were heading towards the southwest foot of Pingdu, Lao Jiang also returned to the ancient house of the Zhang family. At this time, Mr. Zhang and Lao Jiang were sitting at the table and drinking tea. Lao Jiang said: "Brother Zhang, do you think these two juniors can take on this important responsibility?" The origin of the Japanese named Mitsui has not yet been clarified, and I am always relieved in my heart, for fear that they will fall on the road unguarded. "Hehehe, Brother Jiang, you are also a worrying life, it's hard to get home, and you still talk straight to them, and you don't leave them in three words." Zhang Xiaofeng stroked his white beard and said with a smile. "Haha, aren't you, I don't believe that you, an old man, don't worry about them." Lao Jiang replied. "Well, that's good. According to Brother Jiang, what are the strengths and weaknesses of these two young people? "You old man still passed me. Long Jianfeng, this kid is decisive and decisive, and has a certain understanding of the five elements of yin and yang. Over the years, I have followed me and learned the inner family shape and meaning, and physical endurance is the best choice. The disadvantage is that he doesn't know enough about all kinds of outer door organs and Qimen formations, and once things involve people around him, this kid is like a changed person, and he is easy to be impulsive. You, a ghost girl, are proficient in all kinds of wild history and ancient books, and your mind is meticulous, and your kung fu is not bad. The downside is that it's a little lacking in sharpness. "Hahaha, Brother Jiang really looks at people." "That's right, but I'm still a little worried, these two children still have too shallow understanding of Chinese yin and yang and Taoism, and now they still have the strength to spare, if they encounter a powerful formation again, I'm afraid they won't be able to deal with it." You also know what situations they might face. "Well, Brother Jiang is right. So I've made arrangements, and right now there's one person who meets our requirements, and I've asked him to join us. "Oh, it turns out that you have already made arrangements, and you are still hiding it from me, and you will be fined three glasses of wine at noon. Tell me first, who is this man? "Hehehe, Brother Jiang guess." "You old man is still selling off. Wait, is it him......"
While the two old men were talking, Zhang Shifan and I had already arrived in the southwest of Pingdu Mountain. We stopped in a clearing full of rocks, and our instincts over the years told us that there were trees everywhere else, and that there should be something wrong with it. Zhang Shifan looked around and said to me a little uneasily: "Brother Long, have you ever heard of a legend?" I wondered how she remembered to tell me what legend she had told me, and asked, "What legend?" "When the ancestor Zhang Daoling swept away the demons in the yin capital, subdued the ghosts, but did not kill the air, so delineated a yin and yang world, legend has it that this yin and yang world is somewhere in this Pingdu Mountain, I look at this messy stone, it is possible to ......" The voice did not fall, I saw that the scenery in front of us changed, and a huge chess board appeared on the ground, and the original chaotic stones all became red and black chess pieces, forming an endgame, surrounded by a white fog. On the opposite side of the chessboard, a Taoist priest-like phantom loomed, only to hear a voice in the air: "Yin and Yang two worlds, two points of man and demon, dream into the magic machine, win in and lose." "I cursed in my heart, this is really afraid of something, it seems that I have to win this game of chess to enter the real Yin Capital. I turned my head to Zhang Shifan and said, "Xiaofan, do you know how to play chess?" "I can play Go." Zhang Shifan replied with some embarrassment. I said helplessly: "I will, but at the half-level level, an endgame like this is even worse, this is bad." We looked at each other a few times, and I finally hesitated, "Otherwise, I'll try my luck, I can't stay here like this forever." "No, it's too dangerous, and if something happens, it's not a joke." Zhang Shifan said worriedly. It's a real nuisance, and it makes me scratch my head in a hurry.
"Hahahaha, boy, you haven't changed your head in such a hurry, and there are things you can't do." A clear laugh came. As soon as we looked, a person came out of the white mist, dressed in green clothes, and the most eye-catching thing was wearing a pair of gold-rimmed sports glasses, which was Yan Jin. "I'll go, why are you here with glasses?" "What do you still say, you don't call me such a good thing, if it weren't for Old Man Zhang telling me, I still don't know, is it a brother?" Glasses pretended to be angry. "Hehe, aren't you here too, you are so good, you entered here at once, and it took us two and a half a day to come in in a daze." I smiled at him. "Don't pat me on the back, go out and see how I drink you. Come on, play chess first. Glasses stinky said. I was a little incredulous and said, "I said glasses, I know you're a big man, but can you play chess?" "Okay? It seems that I can't do it without showing you a hand. The glasses replied.
Glasses tell us about Chinese chess, which originated from the Yellow Emperor in the legendary era, and after the development of the past dynasties, it matured in the Chu and Han rivalries, and the middle of the chessboard of Xiangqi is written "Chu River Han Boundary" is the best proof. Xiangqi is the ancient method of marching and arranging, and the Taoist masters of all dynasties are masters of chess, especially good at endgame lore, that is, the legendary dream into the divine machine. After I listened, I gave a thumbs up, "Convinced." Zhang Shifan also admired it very much, and said: "Then trouble Brother Yan to break this chess game." "Hey, listen to this, come on, boy, let's go together, I can't live alone, I'll stand on a high point and show the way, you go to move chess, we'll check him to death together." "Okay, listen to you, Boss Yan." I rolled my eyes at him. "Okay, don't you two quarrel, break the formation quickly." Zhang Shifan said helplessly. "Okay, okay, don't talk about it. Glasses, you stand on that rock, and I will move which one you tell me to move. "Well, let's go first." Glasses stood on the high stone and said. "Okay, let's play chess." I said. The glasses began to command: "The first step, the second horse into the fourth." "What's that?" What the hell is a horse? I was stunned.
Can Glasses and Long Jianfeng win this endgame? Is there any secret hidden in the Yin Capital? If you want to know what happens next, and see the next chapter breakdown.
