Chapter 0154: The Ninth Chess Piece
The position of the old man's drop is also unusual, directly placed in the corner of the stone table.
Xia Qingyang thought for a while, and simply landed the chess pieces on the opposite corner as he wished.
As soon as the chess pieces fell, the surrounding environment changed again, and there was purple smoke and red light flashing inside.
The old man's expression was unwavering, and he placed his son on the other corner of the stone table.
Seeing the purple smoke appear, Xia Qingyang's eyelids jumped violently, and he subconsciously teleported, but fortunately, the red sun and desert in front of him made him think about it in his heart, and he immediately calmed down, and his eyes fell on the chess game again.
At this point, there were five pieces on the stone table, two of which were close together in the middle, and the remaining three occupied a corner of the stone table.
"Haha-high, it's really terrifying!" The old man clapped his hands again, but Xia Qingyang was a little embarrassed, but he was not very modest, because this way of playing chess was really nothing to be modest.
The old man had always been neat, but this time he paused for a while before he solemnly landed the black pieces on the remaining corners of the stone table, so that the four corners of the stone table were occupied by three of his black pieces.
At this time, the two of them were already on a boulder in the middle of the river, and there was a sound of water around them, but Xia Qingyang turned a deaf ear, pinching Bai Zi and groaning as always.
However, the chess game has developed to this point, and Xia Qingyang is no longer as casual as he was at the beginning, because when the few chess pieces landed on the stone table, he suddenly found that this table was a chessboard, but it was just missing the criss-crossing chessboard lines.
Who says you can't make a chessboard without a checkerboard line?
As long as the chess piece becomes a tool for the two sides to play against each other, then where it falls, it is the chessboard.
Xia Qingyang suddenly felt that his mood was a little brighter, and he landed on the side of the black chess piece in the middle, blocking three sides in the four directions of the front, back, left and right.
As a result, the situation is a bit delicate.
In the core area, Xia Qingyang's white pawn has the absolute upper hand, almost blocking the way out of the black chess, but if you look at the overall situation, the old man's black pawn seems to be in control of the situation, quite a long-term foothold, not fighting for the day.
The surrounding scenery changed again, but Xia Qingyang no longer paid attention, he didn't even look at the chess pieces in the old man's hand, his mind was on the chess game in front of him.
"One step at a time, one world ??????" It turned out that it was not only about him walking through the wonderful areas, but also about the game of chess in front of him.
Every move, every chess piece falls, and a different chess game world is built on this stone table, although there are only black and white, but there are countless changes, but with Xia Qingyang's realm, it is not yet possible to understand all its mysteries.
However, the little realization in Xia Qingyang's heart is getting clearer and clearer, and he even vaguely senses that when this chess game is over, he will usher in unexpected gains, at least, his vision of looking at things from now on has improved by one point.
At this time, the black piece in the old man's hand finally fell again, he did not save the black piece in the middle, nor did he go to strangle Xia Qingyang's white chess piece that fell alone in a corner, but chose to land the chess piece on the edge of the stone table, between the two black pieces.
A look of doubt flashed in Xia Qingyang's eyes, because he couldn't figure out the purpose of this move, so he followed his mind again and placed the fifth white chess piece on the opposite side of the old man's black spot.
When the white chess fell down, Xia Qingyang only felt that the chess game in front of him suddenly came to life, white chess was locally dominant, echoing inside and outside, and there was great room for maneuvering; black chess controlled the general trend, based on the center, and also had a calm and changeable back move.
This sixth black piece, but the old man pondered for a long time before slowly falling.
This time, the old man changed his previous style of steady and steady play, and suddenly launched an attack on Xia Qingyang's white chess, and the black chess fell directly on the side of the white chess located in the corner, because this is a corner position, which is easier to intercept!
This move caught Xia Qingyang off guard, if this son was trapped, even if he strangled the sunspot in the middle of the other party, he was surrounded by the other party throughout the general situation, as for a dispensable white son on the edge, he was powerless to crack the overall situation.
At this time, Xia Qingyang was faced with two choices, one was to save the white chess in the corner, but because the old man took the lead, and the white chess was in a poor position, it was also a lose-lose situation to barely untie it, which was tantamount to recovering the disadvantage.
The second option is to exchange courtesy, to strangle the old man's black disc, which is also in the corner, so that at least the situation will not completely turn to the black side, and perhaps with this unreasonable nonsense, the game can be forced back to the balance of power.
However, after some thought, Xia Qingyang abandoned these two choices, and Zhizi decisively landed in the center of the chessboard, sealing the only remaining way of life for Kurozi, and realizing the first successful siege since this chess game!
This is an extremely bold move, because although it seems that black has one less piece, in fact, it firmly controls the entire trend of the game, but Xia Qingyang's white chess almost concentrates its power in the central position, and the original echo with the other two pieces is also cut off, which seems a little lonely.
Although the black pieces are scattered, they each occupy a favorable position, echoing each other from afar, acting as horns for each other, forming a joint situation against the white pieces inside.
After six hands, Xia Qingyang obviously had an extra son, but he fell into passivity, although the old man took advantage of the first hand, but it can also be seen that he is strategizing and laying out far-reaching skills.
"This step, you come first!" the old man stared at the chess game for a while, but did not touch the chess pieces, and said coldly.
Xia Qingyang was stunned when he heard this, and was about to say something, but suddenly realized that this was not a serious game, not even a chessboard, how could he pay attention to what to do first, you come and go, and you are not polite at the moment, took a white chess piece, and thought about it.
Before, he was passive in the battle, although he fell into the disadvantage, but judging from the old man's reaction, the response was not bad, but this time he changed from passive to active, but he was a little at a loss.
Just as he was pondering how to take a surprise move to redeem his disadvantage, a figure suddenly snatched up from the oblique stab.
Xia Qingyang was shocked in his heart, turned his head to look, and couldn't help but be shocked, it turned out that it was the fierce beast that had chased him and had no way into the earth, Qi Qi pounced, with red mouth and white teeth, and a fierce face.
He instinctively wanted to dodge, but found that the poor Qi was not targeting him, but the stone table.
Xia Qingyang's mind was racing, and he looked up at the old man, but saw that he didn't seem to see the huge beast at all, and still stared at himself with a smile, signaling him to continue playing chess.
"Could it be that this fierce beast is just pretending to scare people?" Xia Qingyang's heart moved, so he also forced himself to calm down, ignored it, and fell his gaze on the chess game again.
Sure enough, Qi Qi rushed to the front, and the giant palm he slapped hovered over the table, but it did not fall on the chess game after all.
"You play your chess, what do you care about it?" Since Xia Qingyang sat down, the old man taught him a lesson for the first time, but Xia Qingyang was flattered.
He is not stupid, he naturally knows that this is an opportunity, but the information transmitted through the chess game is always not so easy to ponder, but it can only be understood but not spoken, the old man rarely says a word, but it is also a sigh of no substance, this time there is finally content.
If you think about it carefully, it is indeed that you are not determined enough, if that poor Qi really wants to destroy the chess game, there is nothing you can do at all, but it is useless to be distracted.
Thinking of this, Xia Qingyang's heart really calmed down.
This seventh white piece, he is still placed in the center of the game, since the surrounding space has been lost, it is better to continue to consolidate the advantage in the middle, maybe can find a decisive opportunity.
The old man nodded, and quickly fell into place.
In the eighth black move, he played in the middle, and the two black pieces were opposite each other, and the black piece that was sealed in the square position was separated by a piece of the position.
Xia Qingyang exhaled softly, Jiang was really old and spicy, and just when he thought that the other party had given up the middle ground, he suddenly killed a horse pistol and planted a nail in his advantageous zone again.
There is no other way, Xia Qingyang can only continue to kill, the eighth white chess piece is close to the black chess piece and falls, for his last position, he must stick to it desperately, otherwise he will be defeated.
The old man suddenly let out a sigh, as if he was extremely sorry, and after a little hesitation, he placed the ninth black piece on the other side of the black piece in the center, so that in the middle area, the black piece was in a three-legged position, and even the chess piece that had been sentenced to death suddenly came to life.
The overall situation has been decided, but now even the last position has been lost, Xia Qingyang's game of chess can be called a complete defeat, but he did not show any frustration, and the white chess in his hand has not fallen for a long time.
"This is the final step. The old man suddenly whispered.
The last move, the last chess piece, means that Xia Qingyang has no chance to reverse the situation.
However, Xia Qingyang's face suddenly showed a strange smile, and in the old man's surprised gaze, he placed the white chess piece directly on top of the black chess piece in the center.
The chess pieces are round and smooth, and it is not easy to stack the chess pieces, but Xia Qingyang, as a soul master, naturally has an extremely accurate grasp of the center of gravity of the chess pieces, and it is not difficult to place them.
The old man was stunned for a long time, and suddenly burst out laughing, leaning back and closing his laughter, so unhappy.
Xia Qingyang's strange tricks have changed wonderfully, and the chess game has become confusing again, although he is still slightly inferior, but because the middle area has been consolidated, he has a foothold, and it is no longer easy to be easily killed.
"Good! good!" The old man's eyes instantly bloomed with immeasurable brilliance, staring at Xia Qingyang tightly, and said, "Let's go!"
As soon as the words fell, Xia Qingyang only felt that his body was light, and the scenery in front of him turned, and when he looked at it again, he was already in a confined space.
"This is-" Xia Qingyang's heart moved: "Inside the Divine Tree?"
