Yang Zheng seems to have seen a change that has not been recorded in "Plum Blossom Spring" today.

This kind of change is probably called the vicissitudes of life.

He looked at the smiling, gray-haired old man sitting across from him. The hand he held seemed to tremble.

The whole chessboard seems to have turned into a tragic and joyful drama of life that he has never seen before.

He also seemed to have realized something strange at this moment.

This strange thing is based on "Plum Blossom Spectrum", runs through "The Secret of Orange", and finally mixes "Plum Blossom Spring" as the ending.

These three already well-known chess games, the moment he fell, merged into one "dream" word.

I don't know if this "dream" is a big dream, or a dream, or a big dream when I first woke up, but at the moment when Yang Zheng raised his hand.

The word "dream" turned into a small and colorful butterfly.

This butterfly can probably only be seen by Yang Zheng.

Because this butterfly is a butterfly formed by the collision of three books of different eras, different authors, and different ideas.

This butterfly is also like the life of the white-haired old man opposite.

Beautiful and shining.

In fact, in ordinary people, life is ordinary and extraordinary.

Because of their experiences, their years, and the mood of those who are witnesses. They are precisely the foundations of the countries in which they live.

Their chess ability, albeit mediocre, is so mediocre that many amateur professional chess players disdain.

But their attitude towards playing chess, as well as their spirit of laughing at the years, are worthy of being remembered by the world.

The moment the butterfly flew away from Yang Zheng's eyes, the corners of his eyes were unnaturally moist.

He rubbed his eyes.

When he opened his eyes, he found a Taoist priest with a little Taoist boy standing in front of him.

This Taoist priest is about the same age as him, but his delicate face and long hair as soft as a waterfall can't help but make people feel good.

The white-washed clean clothes, as well as the clear and rare eyes and the withered yellow fingers on the waist, inevitably made people feel good and curious about his past.

He lowered his head and looked at the scattered chessboard in front of Yang Zheng, and he muttered: "The secret is difficult to distinguish, and the dream is empty." The untested week is a butterfly, and the Anzhi people are fish? ”

……

Although the poem in the Taoist priest's mouth is Liang Jianwen's Emperor Xiao Gang's "Ten Empty Six Songs: Like a Dream", his chattering tone made Yang Zheng feel that this Taoist priest turned the last sentence of "Untested Zhou is a butterfly, and An Zhiren is a fish" into a question mark.

This is a bit intriguing.

When Yang Zheng wanted to ask the Taoist priest why he wanted to turn the full stop of this poem into a question mark, the little Taoist boy on the side looked at the chess game and laughed out loud.

"You should jump off the horse, you shouldn't walk in style."

Xiao Daotong pointed to the stalemate on the chessboard like a little adult, and pointed at the old man on the side.

He was about ten years old, and he was so handsome that he couldn't tell whether he was a man or a woman. Big eyes, snow-white skin, and a robe that has not gone through the years at first glance make him look extremely cute.

The old man who was pointed out on the side looked at such a cute little dao boy, and he didn't show half dissatisfaction because of his fingering, he smiled and followed the little dao boy's guidance, and landed on the chessboard.

Yang Zheng listened to Xiao Daotong's guidance to the old man, and he was a little surprised.

Because although Xiao Daotong doesn't know too much chess terms, his chess strength is not low, and every time he guides the old man to make a move, he can skillfully avoid the trap set by Yang Zhengjing.

He can even have the courage to abandon his son to survive when he is at a disadvantage.

However, in the end, because he was too young, he was crushed by Yang Zheng, an adult who had experienced thousands of battles, with unequal chess strength.

But after he lost, not only was he not discouraged or annoyed, but he also seriously summarized the reasons for his loss, which caused the old man and Yang Zheng on the side to smile approvingly.

Yang Zheng looked at this little adult, he was also curious about the Taoist master's chess strength, just as he was about to ask the Taoist priest for chess, he found that the Taoist priest had already paid the famous fee and took the initiative to challenge the two chess masters with the strongest chess skills.

……

The ghost hand Zhang Lao originally saw that he was wearing a Taoist robe, and he was young, and he was a little humble between the sons.

But after a few hands, the ghost hand Zhang Lao couldn't help but use all his strength to play against the Taoist priest with a straight face.

On the other hand, the Taoist priest, because of Hongzi's first move and Zhang Lao's humility in the first few steps, his chess became smoother and smoother. A few hands after a few hands, his horse artillery cart came to the city, so that Zhang Lao had no way to start.

But the Taoist priest did not shout the word general, and after he put down the chess pieces that could determine the outcome of the game, he recited a poem in fragments.

"It's fortunate to think about it, and it's clear that it's going to be here. Mo Dao mulberry night, for the sun is still full of sky. ”

This poem is Liu Yuxi in the Tang Dynasty "Reward Joy Heaven Yong Lao See", it is an unpopular poem, and I don't know why the Taoist priest wants to recite this poem in front of Zhang Lao, I only know that after Zhang Lao heard this poem, he was in a trance for a long time, he looked at the Taoist priest and wanted to say something, but in the end it only turned into the four words "willing to bow to the wind".

The Taoist priest won against Zhang Lao, and he gently walked to the stunned Peng Fei on the side, and he proposed that he also play a game of chess with Peng Fei.

Peng Fei naturally had no reason to refuse, but he didn't underestimate the enemy like Zhang Lao, he showed all his strength from the beginning.

Although Peng Fei is the first to learn from his family, he has studied for several generations and can be said to be the most perfect version of "Plum Blossom Spring" today, but even if he has all kinds of changes, he can only turn into one change on this small chessboard.

That change is the change of winning and losing.

Yang Zheng took the little Taoist priest's hand and walked to Peng Fei's side, when he looked at the chess game in Peng Fei's middle game, which was limited to only one variation, he swallowed his saliva, and he suddenly didn't know what to say.

Because, the Taoist priest's chess is too similar to Lao Zhou.

Lao Zhou's chess is about the chess that he turned the chessboard when he first saw Lao Zhou.

The piece that is integrated with the chessboard is a circle.

A circle without any dead ends.

This circle may not be perfect, but it can evolve into many, many idioms that are difficult to think of on the chessboard and in life.

For example, "eight-sided circle", also such as "outer circle and inner square", and more such as "flower a good moon".

This kind of circle can only be drawn by people with earth-shattering chess strength, at least in Yang Zheng's eyes, among all the people he knows, only Lao Zhou can do it.

So is this Taoist priest who looks about the same age as himself approaching or surpassing Lao Zhou in terms of chess strength?

Yang Zheng looked at the changes in the chess game in shock, and he couldn't help but think,

This Taoist priest, he... Who is he?
