Chapter 36: The Chess Game (4,000 words)
The inner sanctum of the Valley of the Earth. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
Lin Feng sat quietly with his legs crossed, his eyes drifting towards the blood-clothed man of the Seven Star Sword Sect and the Blood Demon Sect from time to time, and a cold light flashed.
Although the blood-clothed man of the Star Desert River and the Blood Demon Sect were eager to kill Lin Feng, in the inner hall, no one dared to do it. Because the rules in the inner sanctum are different from those in the outer sanctum, it is forbidden to attack each other here. Once someone disobeys, they will be expelled from the Temple of the Ends of the Earth by the Earth Spirit.
An hour later, a gray-haired old man suddenly appeared in the center of the hall, his eyes full of vicissitudes, as if he had vicissitudes in the sea.
Everyone, including Lin Feng, suddenly looked stunned, and their eyes gathered on this old man.
The Earth Spirit of the Valley of the Earth!
The earth spirit glanced at everyone present, the hundred monks who were originally on the periphery of the Earth Pole Hall were now less than fifty, and there were many monks with injuries.
"It's time, close the inner sanctum!"
As he spoke, the entrance to the inner sanctum slowly closed.
At that moment, an anxious cry came from outside the inner sanctum.
"Wait!"
"I'll be there soon!"
At the moment when the door of the inner hall was closed, the yellow figure came through the crack in the door and landed directly beside Lin Feng.
"Whew-whew-"
"Lin Feng, it's so dangerous! It's so dangerous! I almost can't enter the inner hall!" Huang Xuanxuan patted his chest, dressed roughly, and said with a big grin.
When Xing Mohe saw Huang Xuanxuan, his eyes narrowed, and he whispered, "Son of Luck?"
"In his previous life, this guy was lucky, he got various inheritances one after another, and he was in danger many times, but he was able to escape in danger every time!" Xing Mohe recalled Huang Xuanxuan's fate in his previous life.
There is only one word to describe Huang Xuanxuan - Hong Fu Qitian.
Xing Mohe said in a somewhat unkind tone: "In this life, I have a foresight, suppressing Huang Xuanxuan everywhere, trying to stop his rise, but I didn't expect to push Huang Xuanxuan to Lin Feng's side, but it has become more tricky!"
Just then, the Earth Spirit spoke again.
"The Inner Sanctum assessment has officially begun!"
As soon as the earth spirit's voice fell, everyone's expressions suddenly turned solemn.
According to the rules of the assessment of the Earth Pole Hall in previous years, the first level of the inner hall assessment is not surprising - chess path.
The ancestor of the earth pole is known as the double master of Dan chess, not only in alchemy, but also in the chess path.
The three levels of the inner hall are assessed, and the assessment is chess path, Dan Tao and comprehension!
"Chessboard, now!"
The voice of the earth spirit seemed to be slight, but it could be heard clearly by any monk present.
Suddenly, fifty pillars of light rose from the ground to the sky, lasted for three breaths and then dispersed, revealing the chessboard within.
Fifty chessboards, exactly fifty monks, no more, no less!
"Pick the board, each one of you!" commanded the Earth Spirit.
Before the earth spirit could finish speaking, the disciples of the Seven Star Sword Sect, like arrows off the string, came to the chessboard and snatched eight chessboards.
"Are you in a hurry to be reincarnated?"
"What's the use of choosing early? The key is to choose a simple chess game!"
Seeing that the disciples of the Seven Star Sword Sect looked like they were rushing to reincarnate, many monks let out a burst of sneer, choosing a chessboard is not just fast, but also lucky.
In the first level assessment of the inner hall of the Diji Palace, although the assessment is all Zhenlong chess games, the difficulty of Zhenlong chess games is different. According to the summary of the previous monks, the difficulty of Zhenlong's chess game can be roughly divided into three levels, coarse, exquisite and subtle.
The superficial Zhenlong chess game is the easiest, and nine times out of ten it can be passed. The superb level of Zhenlong chess game must have strong chess power to be able to pass, and every time the Diji Hall is opened, only one or two people can succeed.
As for the mysterious level of Zhenlong chess game, no one has passed it so far, and it is a chess game that must die.
In the face of many sneers, Xing Mohe's face remained unchanged, and he secretly sneered in his heart.
"What do you know about a bunch of idiots?"
"Every time the Earth Pole Hall is opened, the shallow chess game is ten games, if we don't snatch it first, won't it be left to you?"
Xing Mohe's gaze swept over the disciples of the Seven Star Sword Sect, and with his foresight, he had already told his fellow disciples the news of the ten rough chess games.
It's a pity......
Xing Mohe looked at the remaining two rough and shallow chess games, according to the original plan, these two chess games should be occupied by Gu Yuan and Gu Li. But now that the two of them are missing, they can only cheapen the rest.
The rest of the monks did not have the ability to foresee like Xingmohe, and after careful selection, they chose what they thought was the best game of chess.
It took about a cup of tea, and monks stood on each chessboard, and the test was about to begin.
Xing Mohe looked at the remaining two rough chessboards, the corners of his mouth twitched, and the two chessboards were occupied by Huang Xuanxuan and the blood-clothed man of the Blood Demon Sect.
"Could it be that Huang Xuanxuan is really the son of luck? In his last life, he picked a rough and shallow chess game! Now that I have picked up eight rough and shallow chess boards, he can still have such good luck!" In the face of Huang Xuanxuan's luck against the sky, even Xing Mohe, a reborn person, couldn't help but feel a little jealous.
The chessboard that Huang Xuanxuan occupied had been snatched away by him, but he didn't expect Huang Xuanxuan to be able to choose a shallow chess game.
"Solve the Zhenlong chess game within ten hours, that is, pass the assessment!"
"The assessment has officially begun!"
As the voice of the earth spirit fell, black and white chess pieces appeared in the chessboard, and finally formed a complete Zhenlong chess game.
The Zhenlong chess game is a difficult problem in Go, and it is not a chess game played by two people, but a person who deliberately puts it out to make things difficult. The layout of Zhenlong chess game is ingenious, and the biggest feature is that it is ingenious, and it makes extensive use of skills such as disc signs, life and death, tesuji, and murderous spirit, which affect the overall situation and are often extremely difficult to calculate.
At that time, the ancestors of the earth pole reached the peak of their attainments in the Zhenlong chess game, leaving a total of 36,000 Zhenlong chess games for the selection of successors.
Even if 30,000 years have passed, these 36,000 Zhenlong chess games have still not been completely cracked, and some have even been crowned as unsolvable games.
After the Zhenlong chess game was formed, a noisy noise suddenly erupted in the Temple of the Earth, some were happy, some were annoyed, and there were even monks who directly announced that they would admit defeat.
"Senior Brother Xing's deduction technique is really subtle, and even a superficial chess game can be deduced!" said a disciple of the Seven Star Sword Sect with admiration on his face.
"Hahahaha! The one-in-five probability was actually chosen by me, and there is indeed my chance in the Earth Pole Palace!" Huang Xuanxuan grinned loudly, completely unaware that the probability of one in five had already dropped to one in twenty-five.
"Alas, it's a mysterious chess game!" a middle-aged monk let out a long sigh and gave up the assessment.
Lin Feng looked at the chess game in front of him, his brows were wrinkled into a Sichuan character, just like the Loess Plateau with thousands of ravines.
"Mysterious chess game!"
Lin Feng's voice was hoarse, even a little unwilling, with his chess strength, he thought that he was in the top three among all the assessed monks, even if it was a superb chess game, he had ten levels of certainty to pass.
But in the mysterious chess game, he also felt very tricky, and if he was not careful, he might be out of the game.
The black and white pieces on the chessboard fell into Lin Feng's eyes one by one, as if they had turned into a battlefield where millions of people clashed. Several people, staggered battles, a regiment of cavalry in the east, a camp in the west, you have me, I have you, bared teeth are staggered, entangled.
"Go to the third or fifth way!"
"Seven or eight ways!"
"One or two ways on top!"
......
"No, it's a dead end, so I can only start from scratch and re-deduce!"
"Flat four or six roads!"
......
"No, it's still a dead end. ”
"Think differently!"
......
"Damn, it's a dead game again, this mysterious chess game is too perverted!"
......
"I don't believe I can't win a game of chess against you!"
"Five or six ways into place!"
......
"The Earth Pole Ancestor is worthy of being a great chess player, this mysterious chess game is really mysterious!" After failing thirty-three times in a row, Lin Feng couldn't help but sigh that his attainments in the chess path were too far from the Earth Pole Ancestor.
"But I'm not going to give up!"
Without saying a word, Lin Feng started a new deduction.
......
As time passed, most of the monks frowned, and some simply shook their heads and walked down from the chessboard, shouting at the exquisite and decisive game of Zhenlong.
An hour later, a dazzling light suddenly erupted on a chessboard, and the black and white chess pieces, like stars in the sky, were arranged in an extremely mysterious formation.
The earth spirit, which had closed its eyes and recuperated in the spirit, slowly opened its eyes, revealing a touch of humanized joy and relief.
"Xingmohe, pass the assessment!"
As soon as the earth spirit's voice fell, it immediately caused a commotion among the monks present, and it was only an hour before someone actually unlocked the Zhenlong chess game, which was incredible.
Many monks recalled the record of passing the chess path assessment the fastest time in 30,000 years, and it seemed that it was a certain chess genius 10,000 years ago, and it took two full hours.
But now, this record has been broken, and it has been shortened by a whole hour!
Thinking of this, many monks gasped one after another, looking at Xingmohe's eyes, shocked, admired, envious, jealous, jealous, and all kinds of emotions were intertwined, turning into a torrent of emotions.
Seeing their own chessboard again, they looked gloomy and bleak, seemingly ordinary, but full of mysterious chess games, which made them sweat profusely and have no clue, and they had to admit the gap between themselves and Xingmohe.
"The Earth Pole Lotus Fire is destined to be mine!" Xing Mohe said confidently.
For this trip to the Diji Palace, he prepared for three months, and there were six assessments in the Diji Palace, and he had several hands to prepare for each assessment, and there was no possibility of failure.
Just like his Zhenlong chess game, in his previous life, after Huang Xuanxuan's cultivation was successful, he opened the altar to preach and share his experience in the Temple of the Earth, and this chess game is the part he focuses on.
It just so happened that Xing Mohe also participated in this sermon and was deeply impressed by this game of Zhenlong chess, and after consulting the master of chess, he finally found the best way to solve this game of Zhenlong.
Because of this, he was able to solve the Zhenlong chess game in just one hour.
Immediately, Xing Mohe set his sights on the opponents he valued the most.
Lin Feng was unlucky, he actually encountered a mysterious chess game, and he has not lost a son so far. He, Lin Feng, is a character, but it's a pity that his luck is too bad to worry about, Xing Mohe thought secretly in his heart.
Huang Xuanxuan's luck is extraordinary, but his chess attainments are average, and he has only solved one-fifth of the chess game until now.
As for the one from the Blood Demon Sect, Xing Mohe couldn't help but take a few more looks, his luck was excellent, and his chess strength was also superb, if he hadn't touched him, the first place in this round of assessment, if nothing else, would have fallen on his head.
After seeing these three people, Xing Mohe closed his eyes and recuperated, in his opinion, except for these three people, no one could enter his eyes.
Three hours later, the blood-clothed man of the Blood Demon Sect opened his eyes and was the second to pass the chess path assessment.
Four hours later, the other disciples of the Seven Star Sword Sect unlocked the Zhenlong chess game one after another, passed the chess assessment, and became very popular for a while.
"The Seven Star Sword Sect is worthy of being one of the Eight Holy Lands, and the disciples they have cultivated are indeed too much stronger than us!" said with envy.
"It's not that they're capable, it's that they're hard in the background! Don't you see the chess games of the disciples of the Seven Star Sword Sect, all of them are rough and shallow chess games?"
"This brother, do you mean to say that the Seven Star Sword Sect has been able to deduce the appearance of a rough and shallow chess game?"
"Who knows?"
"The Eight Holy Lands are all behemoths on the clouds, but it's not something that we little people can speculate casually!"
"Alas, it's a pity that the reincarnation technique has not been practiced well, why can't I be reincarnated on Seven Star Island?"
Six hours later, a superb chess game was finally solved, and the person who solved the exquisite chess game was also a well-known monk in the scattered cultivation.
Chess maniac, Zhou Lidao.
"Congratulations to Zhou Daoyou, unlock the Zhenlong chess game!" The casual cultivators on the side congratulated Zhou Lidao one after another, and Zhou Lidao's success could be regarded as a face-saving for their casual cultivation.
Although only one of them has passed the chess path assessment so far, what they have solved is a superb chess game, which is enough to make the inferior loose cultivation happy.
"I'm ashamed, I'm ashamed, I'm just a little accomplished in chess, and it took me six hours to solve the chess game, which is too far away from the Earth Pole Ancestor!"
Although Zhou Lidao is very modest in his mouth, the smug look on his face can be detected by a pig.
Seven hours later, Huang Xuanxuan finally unlocked the Zhenlong chess game, and finally did not let the iron law of "rough chess games must pass the assessment" was broken.
Eight hours later, a large number of casual cultivators gave up the assessment, shook their heads, and walked off the chessboard in despair.
Not every casual cultivator has the same chess attainments as Zhou Lidao, and it is difficult for them to reach the sky in a superb chess game.
Nine hours later, the chessboard was deserted, and everyone had finished the assessment, leaving Lin Feng alone on the chessboard.
"This disciple of the Nine Dragons Heavenly Sect is really unlucky, there are a total of two mysterious chess games, and one of them will fall on his head!" said Yousan Xiu Xingxing.
Sanxiu's view of the disciples of the Eight Great Holy Lands is that they envy and reject them, that is, they regard them as enemies, and they dream of replacing them and becoming disciples of the Eight Holy Lands.
Now seeing that Lin Feng has not had a son so far, he can't help but mock and sarcastic.
"The disciple of the Nine Dragons Heavenly Sect is nothing more than that......"
Before he finished speaking, Lin Feng opened his eyes suddenly, a fine light erupted in his eyes, and he picked up a sunspot...... Fall!
