Chapter 38: A Game of Chess

In fact, Xu Yang was really guessing, but the old man said with a surprised expression: "I didn't expect the little guy to see the mystery in chess at a glance, it's not simple!"

Damn! Xu Yang was speechless, he also guessed blindly, but he didn't expect it to be true. Isn't that? The old man smiled again and said, "Tease you little guy, I haven't heard of the so-called Zhenlong, if the little guy can pose, he can put it out." This is Liu Zhongfu meeting immortal chess!"

Liu Zhongfu: Xu Yang knows this person. For him, who is well versed in history, he still knows something about this person. Liu Zhongfu is a native of Jiyang (now Shandong), Jiangxi, and Jiangnan. Zhezong and Huizong of the Northern Song Dynasty dominated the chess world and were invincible big players. The activity period is in the period of Yuanyou to Zhenghe. Living in Kaifeng (now Henan), the Hanlin Academy chess edict, good name for more than 20 years. It is said that his skills are higher than those of the Tang Dynasty king's salary.

To say that Xu Yang can remember so clearly is because of a story. A 'very' famous story, when I read this biography, Xu Yang was also happy, I didn't expect that the ancients also liked such gossip stories, the story is: One day, Liu Zhongfu came to Lishan alone. He seemed to have something on his mind, and along the mountain path, he unconsciously walked to the depths of the mountain. In a clearing, there is a wooden house. He wanted to beg for a drink, knocked on the 'door', but no one was there, and after a little push, he found that the 'door' was hidden, so he involuntarily walked in in curiosity. The room is not big, and the furnishings are very simple, just a table, a chair, and a 'bed'. The four walls are crisp, and only a wooden chessboard hangs. The instinct of the chess player drove him to come together. It looks like an ordinary chessboard, but the lines of the wood grain are vivid and up-and-down, undulating like flowing water, one by one, as if it is going to spread all the way to the outside of the chessboard. The chessboard suddenly seemed rich and full, with a fresh sense of life. He couldn't help but reach out and 'touch' it, but he didn't know if it was his own hand or the chess sign, so he trembled and quickly retracted his hand. Many years later, Liu Zhongfu doesn't remember the cool and warm feeling when he touched the chessboard, and the more time passed, the clearer the memory became, and it could no longer linger. At that time, he just felt strange, who lived here? And he saw the chessboard, where were the chess pieces? The sky gradually darkened, and Liu Zhongfu was inconvenient to stay for a long time, so he hurried back to the temple where he stayed outside the mountain. At night, however, he could no longer sleep peacefully. The mystery in his heart became a huge 'temptation' and 'confusion', prompting him to get up at dawn and rush onto the road, unaware of the surrounding scenery, and rushed straight to the mysterious wooden house. When I got there, it was already noon. Just as he was about to knock on the door, the door suddenly creaked open. A 'girl' stood by the 'door', the village girl was dressed up, and she didn't look coquettish, but there was a kind of elegant and refined atmosphere in the simplicity. Liu Zhongfu was stunned for a moment, and he didn't know what to say all of a sudden. The 'girl' seemed to see through his thoughts, smiled slightly, and said: "Son, please come in!"

When Liu Zhongfu entered the 'door', the first thing he saw was on the wall

Looking, strangely, the chessboard is gone. Seeing his expression, the 'female' son asked: Is the son a chess player? Liu Zhongfu usually has a bit of a self-satisfied identity as a chess edict, but today in front of this 'female' son, he doesn't want to have anything to do with the official, as if he is vulgar when he talks about it. Therefore, he only said: Xiaosheng is indeed good at chess! Liu Zhongfu pondered the identity of this 'girl' in his heart. Thinking of the adventures of the Tang Dynasty poet Cui Hu, "Last year, in this garden today, the peach and 'flowers' on the human face were red", I can't help but be a little distracted! Thinking about the place where this wooden house is located, it is deserted, and the furnishings in this house have no production tools, and there is not even a stove. Zhuangzi's "Leisurely Travel" wrote that the immortal dwells in the mountain of 'shooting', "the skin is like ice and snow, like a virgin, does not eat grains, sucks the wind and drinks 'dew', rides the flying air, and flies the dragon, and swims beyond the four seas." "Is this 'girl' a fairy 'girl'? Not to mention a chess mountain? Thinking of the adventure of the Tang Dynasty Hanlin Chess to wait for the edict king's salary, it is also a streamside hut, and it is also an ordinary village girl, and the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity cannot be missed. Liu Zhongfu was indeed curious, and he blew the fairy 'girl' chess well, and the immortal briefly pointed out some methods of attacking and defending, killing, rescuing, and resisting, and he was already invincible in the world, and he had to see and understand it today! He said: Miss must be a master in this case! I wonder if I can ask for a game? The 'woman' was silent as if there was something difficult, and after a while, she said: "Tomorrow you will come to the top of the mountain!"

In addition to reading this biography, Xu Yang also has a picture of "The Legend of Lishan Encountering Immortals" that I don't know who made it! Xu Yang didn't know, and Tang Lao and others also appraised it, but they couldn't see who made it, but the brushwork is powerful, the characters are vivid, and the most important thing is that a painting can express the whole story.

The old man said that this was the game of chess? Xu Yang only knew a little about Go, so he couldn't see anything. He had no choice but to give up, he just wanted to solve the doubts in his heart now.

"Alas, he is very talented, and his heart is uncertain, but it's a pity!" said the old man to himself. Xu Yang looked up, the old man didn't say much, and then, the old man ignored Xu Yang and played chess by himself. Xu Yang looked at it and said in his heart, old guy, you can't play people like this. After that, he looked at the things in the pavilion.

There was a square seal and a large ancient sword with a golden color. The sword body exuded a coercion and righteousness that made Xu Yangdu's heart palpitate. The reason why Xu Yang kept playing these two things was because these two things were too similar to the two things in the legend.

That's right! It's the legendary 'jade' seal and the first sword in ancient and modern times, the Xuanyuan Sword! It's too similar to the legendary sword. The sword body is engraved with the sun, moon and stars on one side, and the mountains, rivers and plants on the other. On the hilt of the sword, the art of farming and animal husbandry is written, and the policy of unification of the four seas is written on the other. The hilt of the sword is engraved with two ancient seal characters: Holy Dao!

That's why Xu Yang was a little 'excited', and some wanted to prove his ideas, these two things are the most famous two-year treasures in Chinese history. Let's not talk about the value of these two treasures

A symbol of supreme power, a sword symbolizing the right path!

"Alas!" At this moment, a sigh interrupted Xu Yang's nonsense. Then I heard the old man say in my ear: "Everyone in the world is greedy! Don't look at it, the things you put there are exactly what you want, but you can take them away!"

"Is it really the heirloom 'jade' seal and the Xuanyuan sword?" Xu Yang asked in surprise. The old man nodded, stopped playing chess, and said, "Alas, I was ordered by my emperor to cut off the dragon vein of Xincheng. I really don't want to cut off my Huaxia dragon vein. In the beginning, China faced the danger of extinction after hundreds of years. It's all my fault. I am a sinner through the ages!"

There is a story, it's like this anyway, let's listen to it, the old man said to himself: "I Liu Ji Liu Bowen ......" A string of ancient texts, fortunately, Xu Yang really understands, the approximate meaning is that his name is Liu Ji Liu Bowen, the one who helped Zhu Yuanzhang fight the world, and the one who Xu Yang guessed. The story of slaying the dragon vein was said earlier, and it is similar to the legend in the book, but what is really different is that he Liu Bowen not only cut the newborn dragon vein, but also because of the great change in his heart after cutting the dragon vein, he cut two dragon veins one after another, and finally cut off the dragon vein of Huaxia to protect the country.

At that moment, he knew it was bad. This is going to die in China. Liu Bowen is also a well-informed person, and knows that although there will not be too many things now, but after a few hundred years, he will indeed face the danger of barbarian destruction of China, and Yangyang Huaxia will live up to its existence. After calculating this matter, Liu Bowen, who went back, fell seriously ill, and then returned to his hometown with Zhu Yuanzhang, in fact, he was trying to find a way to warm up the dragon vein. In the end, he lost his life and spied on the heavens.

Take the treasure of China to pass on the 'jade' seal. It is rumored that this 'jade' seal has been the number of Chinese qi since it was completed. There is also the sword of supreme righteousness, which warms the dragon veins with the way of military solution. This is why there is this tomb, not so much a tomb as the location of the Chinese dragon vein. And Liu Bowen also said that now the Huaxia dragon vein has almost recovered, and he has 'wanted' to protect China!

Xu Yang sat there stupidly as if listening to the book of heaven, Nima was too funny. This is a divine object and a dragon vein, but some things would rather be believed than not, so although Xu Yang didn't believe it, he confirmed the other party's words. Because think of the more than ten years of dark turmoil. It is true that Huaxia almost lost the country and became the slave of another country. It's a matter of the world. Xu Yang is not a person who does not know the general situation, so just now he wanted to take those two things as his own, but now he is just watching and keeping this thing in his heart, and he will not go to this trip.

By the way, this person is Liu Bowen, so how many years has this old guy lived, and what form he is in now. Xu Yang did not mention the answer. Xu Yang turned on his Divine Eye function and began to scan the two treasures.

"I don't know how I can get out. This time the wish to enter has been obtained, and it should be

It's time to get out. Xu Yang asked. "I wonder how you got here, and what happened to your companions. Hearing Liu Bowen's words, Xu Yangdang nodded. The old man smiled and said: "Everything is in chess, the so-called chess is like life, life is like chess." Everything in my Eight 'Gates' Dragon Protector Tomb is in chess. If it weren't for my intention, how could you get here without any danger!" This time Xu Yang was even more surprised, Xu Yang immediately thought, could it be that this chess is where the general organ of this ancient tomb is located. The more I think about it, the more reasonable it becomes. Before Xu Yang could speak, Liu Bowen said again: "On the day this tomb was built, there were one hundred and eight friends and generals buried here with me. Regardless of the migrant workers, it was already said when this tomb was built that this is a tomb, that is, no one can live, but they did resolutely go to death with me. Therefore, how could the people who disturbed them let it go lightly. Please don't ask for mercy for the little one. ”
