Twenty-four, plain heart
Chapter 74: Twenty-four, Su Xin
Everyone looked at each other at a loss, since this psychic ginseng spirit dared to speak out and challenge, it was in which aspect of the extraordinary ability, in the case of not knowing the enemy's situation, they did not dare to rashly respond to the battle.
"I wonder what you're going to bet on?" Zhao Yuankang asked.
"The ancients entertained themselves with piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, I am good at the way of the game, lonely in the mountains, and only with chess as friends, is my fun." He sighed faintly, looking very gloomy.
At the beginning of his cultivation, his mana was not strong, so he could only concentrate on meditation, and this kind of indefinite waiting was a kind of silent torture, but also the experience of the Dao heart.
Only by keeping the loneliness can we enjoy the blessings.
When you are alone, you can calm down and think deeply about a thing, because there is no other mundane distraction, you can often focus and forget yourself, and reach a height that is difficult for ordinary people to reach.
Playing chess requires spirituality and patience, and it is the most tempering of people's will.
He has been practicing in the mountains for more than a hundred years, and he has taken solving many chess games as a joy in his life, and his chess power is extraordinary.
Zhao Yuankang did not dare to rush into battle, but took a few steps back and discussed countermeasures with everyone.
"Come on, I don't understand chess." Li Ziming was the first to withdraw.
He is a rough man in the mountains, accustomed to hunting life, and he is not a wise person, he can't play this kind of high-IQ category.
"I don't have those two hits, so don't be ashamed." Gao Feng was also quite self-aware and announced his withdrawal.
"Old, when I was young, I learned two hands, but it can only be regarded as a level that has just entered the stream, since this spirit boy dares to open his mouth to make a bet with chess skills, he has a high chess strength, I still don't mix, the three of you may fight?"
Li Laohan obviously has a way of advancing and retreating, and he doesn't want to be involved too deeply.
These three people do have a high level of Go, but they are not very sure about this gambling battle, and they are a little difficult to decide.
"I haven't seen Brother Tonghai's chess strength, but Ruoxi and I often compete with each other, and I feel that I am not weak, and Ruoxi has won the top three in the municipal competition, so I should be able to fight." Zhao Yuankang said.
"Although I have learned a lot of things, but the art of Go has also been practiced since childhood, and I am still a little sharp, why don't I try the trick first, you can find his flaws, and you can find a way to take him down."
Tonghai has always been bold, not afraid of danger, dare to stand up, the big deal is to lose, just have nothing.
"Okay, you go and compete with him first, and delay as much time as possible, so that we can see his virtual and real changes well." Zhao Yuankang asked.
For an unfamiliar chess player, it takes a considerable number of moves to deduce his move and come up with a way to crack it.
Tonghai had made up his mind, so he waved his hand to tear a gap in the big array and marched forward.
"Come, please be seated." The spirit boy smiled slightly, and conjured a futon and flew over.
The two sat opposite each other, and a chessboard with nineteen vertical and horizontal paths appeared, with green jade as the ping, and black and white were crystal clear.
All these scenes were put into the mirror of Concubine Zhen, and this image was formed through the mirror, forming a virtual shadow three meters in front of everyone, as clear and vivid as watching a movie.
"I'm the lord of the locals, gentleman, please do it first." The little spirit boy was very polite and let Tonghai go first.
This Go competition for the first place, it will have an advantage, you must know that the final win or loss is often between a son, this spirit boy actually let the opponent take the lead, it can be seen that he is quite confident in his chess skills.
Tonghai is not a hypocritical person, and after a little contemplation, he put a sunspot on a star position to the left of the center.
Without thinking, the spirit boy casually responded to the move in the lower right corner, which was far away from the chess piece.
At the beginning of the game, he didn't seem to have all his strength, and Tonghai immediately seized the opportunity to drop next to the sunspot.
Lingtong still casually put a son on the vacant seat, which made people a little confused, but Tonghai still expanded his area.
As the situation deepened, Zhao Yuankang and Li Ruoxi saw the horror of the spirit child.
Unknowingly, he had cut off the chess piece that led to the sea in advance, making it difficult to form an overall offensive and forced to switch from attack to defense.
And his fall, weird and tricky, often uses extraordinary methods to perform clever tricks, which makes people helpless.
His fall seems random, but in fact, he has deduced it tens of thousands of times in his heart, and can deduce dozens of changes after that.
Tonghai had already fallen into the downwind, his heart was flustered, and cold sweat appeared on his forehead, so he hurriedly took a deep breath and tried his best to enter a meditative state.
This is a battle of mental strength, the two sides take the chess game as the guide, the whole mind is condensed here, every step, are engaged in the battle of heaven and man, at this time, Tonghai has fallen into a painful struggle, the chess pieces in the hand are difficult to fall.
"I throw in the towel!" Tonghai struggled to lay down the chess pieces.
Sixty-eight hands, the pitcher admits defeat. After only an hour and a half, Tonghai was defeated.
"This friend, although his chess skills are not high, he dares to make moves and has a ruthless spirit, but after all, he is powerless and courageous, but this perseverance is admirable, and he has conceded, I don't know who will continue."
Lingtong commented on Tonghai's chess path quite confidently, like a senior chess master, which is irrefutable.
Tonghai is not good at chess, and he only fights for a test move, and he can see the victory or defeat.
"I'll go, Ruoxi, you think about it a little longer, and try to crack his chess move." Zhao Yuankang responded angrily.
Lingtong also let him take the black first, he chose a safe method, occupied the Tianyuan position, and responded to all changes without change.
Unexpectedly, the spirit boy reacted at the same speed, and immediately snatched the star position on his left side to form an entanglement with him.
Zhao Yuankang didn't dare to slack off and dealt with it calmly, but Lingtong was obviously proficient in a variety of chess moves, and immediately changed his moves, put on a protracted battle posture with him, and settled steadily in the layout, not seeking merit but no fault.
Zhao Yuankang formed a hanging corner in the left area, and the spirit boy raised his chess to rob, and both sides came up with their own means to try to break through the blockade of the other party.
Although the situation showed a trend of competing with each other, in fact, Zhao Yuankang was passively fighting back, but Lingtong seemed to know the whole chess game by heart, and the response was orderly, natural and smooth, and he couldn't see the slightest anxiety.
The longer the two of them go, the more restless Zhao Yuankang became, he was not like a spirit boy sitting dry, maybe three or five days, maybe ten years, he had more complicated things in his heart, not only to make a name for himself, but also to be open-minded, it was inevitable to suffer from gains and losses.
Taking this chess game as an example, he did not have no chance to win, but he did not handle it well, so he lost the opportunity and fell into passivity.
He always had the illusion that the spirit child would be able to turn the situation around by a loophole again, but he was finally exhausted and unable to return to the sky.
Two hundred and thirty-one hands, one and a half glances, Zhao Yuankang is negative.
He stood for a long time, and he was always unwilling to put down the chess pieces in his hand.
"Friend, why are you so persistent?" There was a sense of regret in the spirit child's tone.
"You are a person with spiritual roots, how can you not see it, do your best, although the road of cultivation is difficult, but it is still very long, why bother with the momentary gains and losses, husband, do something and do nothing, your achievements in other days are far more than that."
These words were like an empowerment, which made him suddenly realize that the pressure on his back was too heavy, and he took care of this and thought about that, but he didn't get any of them right, and he was exhausted.
Only when you are strong can you have the ability to protect the interests of your family and dominate the power of heaven and earth.
"Ruoxi, you go, let it go, don't put too much pressure." He smiled at Ruoxi.
"Well, I'm just playing chess with him, so what if I lose? What if you win? She smiled and walked into the middle of the field.
"Little girl, you are the last one, if you lose again, I will not accompany you." The spirit child smiled indifferently, showing the innocence of the child.
"Shenggu is happy to lose, I just think it's fun, try your hand, you're a kid and it's funny, hehe."
Her girlish heart germinated, the chess pieces in her hand did not stop, but she chatted with the spirit child, this spirit child has been in the mountains for a long time, no one to accompany him, when he is lonely, he is fortunate to be friends with chess, and today he talked to this cheerful woman, so that he felt a lot more comfortable.
The two chatted and played chess, but the chess style did not see the fierce killing atmosphere, but there was a bosom friend of mountains and rivers.
If it is only in terms of chess skills, the spirit boy naturally has supernatural abilities, has studied tens of millions of chess games, and has the ability to remember and draw inferences, which can be said to have a great victory.
But I didn't expect Ruoxi to be able to deal with it indifferently, completely put the victory and defeat out of the way, and focus on the chess game, and she was able to not stick to the fixed method, and the clever tricks came out one after another, which made Lingtong also amazed, thinking that she was very interesting, and couldn't bear to kill the killer.
In the blink of an eye, the chessboard was densely filled with black and white chess pieces, crisscrossing like two flying dragons entangled together.
"Stop, this game is so far, it will be difficult for you and me to win in a short period of time, even if it is a draw." The spirit boy laughed and stood up.
"Well, it's a blessing to be able to draw with you." Li Ruoxi didn't care.
"It's rare that you have a plain heart, what a strange woman!" The spirit boy couldn't help but admire.
