Seeing that Du Ziqiu couldn't get out of the predicament, the deputy referee was ready to help.

At the same time, Du Ziqiu's right foot was already on the white line.

According to the rules of the tournament, a player who steps on the line is a defeat in the game, in which case the sub-referee can shoot without hesitation.

Bell......

The three javelins shook in the air, making strange noises, and then they went from a state of motion to stationary, suspended in the air.

The deputy referee is holding a chess piece in his hand, he is a chess scribe, and the literary position is to lift people.

The referee said: "Tong Sheng Qin Mo can stop, your opponent has already lost by stepping on the white line." ”

Du Ziqiu's biggest mistake was to change his strategy, and the transition from defense to attack seemed smooth, but it was actually far-fetched.

Originally, he adopted the main defense strategy, although he could not win, but at least he could remain undefeated, if he could be calm, even if he didn't do anything, he could exhaust Qin Mo's literary power.

And he couldn't keep his composure, mainly because he wanted to win too much, and finally qualified for the competition, and in the first game, he wanted to prove himself with consecutive victories, so he would lose his heart under Qin Mo's provocation, and rashly attack led to failure.

Qin Mo put down two brushes at the same time, and the general Zhang Liao and the three infantry disappeared first, and then the javelins in the air also disappeared.

And Du Ziqiu had already lost control of the chess warrior when he retreated, and when he heard the referee's words, he looked back and saw his feet on the white line.

Although he was a little unconvinced in his heart, if he lost, he took a deep breath and hugged his fist at Qin Mo.

Qin Mo returned the salute and said, "Accept." ”

The referee immediately announced aloud: "Chess Dao Du Ziqiu vs. Shudao Qin Mo, Qin Mo wins, and the Calligraphy Branch adds one point." ”

Gu Meng showed a smile that he hadn't seen for a long time, and Qin Mo won two games in a row, which made his face shine as the leader of the calligraphy branch.

At this time, the fourth court was also declared over, and the first seed reversed the victory in the last minute, narrowly defeating his opponent and adding another point to the Calligraphy Branch.

As if they saw hope, the scholars shouted loudly for the next four races to cheer for the scholars.

However, the result was not satisfactory, and the No. 2 seed was overwhelmed by the painter, and lost unsurprisingly shortly after the start of the match.

Then there was the number C player, who gritted his teeth and persevered in the face of a tough opponent, but failed to find a chance to fight back and was finally defeated.

Gu Meng's face was much better than yesterday, and he was able to win two games, which was a good result for the Calligraphy Branch.

The Qindao branch continued to lead the standings, with Ma Chung, Li Shengcai and Xu Chengye all winning and adding three more points to the academy, bringing their total to six.

The players have the home advantage, easily scoring two points, and together with yesterday's two points, the total is four points.

The Calligraphy Division suffered the same treatment as the Calligraphy Academy, winning only one of its four games and scoring three points overall, tied for third with the Calligraphy Branch.

The superintendent announced that today's game is over, and the players will go back to recharge their batteries and fight again tomorrow.

Gu Meng, as usual, returned to Tingquan Caolu with Qin Mo.

Qin Mo's opponent tomorrow is Wei Yan, who is a disciple of the side branch of the Hedong Wei family, who has been cultivated in the painting since he was a child, and entered the county school three years ago.

In today's game, the Painting Dao Branch only won one point, which was contributed by Wei Yan, who has won two games in a row.

Moreover, this point was earned by him from the No. C contestant of the Calligraphy Branch.

Qin Mo and Gu Meng carefully watched Wei Yan's match, and came to the conclusion that this person had won easily without exerting his full strength, obviously in order to retain his strength and defeat his opponent in the next match.

Gu Meng inquired about the news through acquaintances in the Painting Dao Branch, and learned that Wei Yan had been influenced by his family since he was a child, and he was very proficient in figure painting, and he was also among the best in flower and bird painting.

Figure painting is a very difficult item in the painting path, and many famous painters in history are mainly landscape, flower and bird paintings, and rarely dabble in figure painting, which can be seen.

Scribes who can master figure painting should not be underestimated.

As for the flower and bird painting, it seems to be a little more commonplace, because the emperor Zhao Ji has a strong interest in this kind of painting, there is a way is a good person, the next must be very good, in the territory of the Great Song Dynasty, good at flower and bird painting scribes abound.

It can be said that flower and bird painting has become a compulsory subject for painting scribes, and there is no one.

The opponent is so tough, the most important thing is that Qin Mo has never been in contact with the Painting Dao Scribe, let alone has any experience to talk about, if he doesn't prepare in advance, it will take a long time to adapt to the opponent's style of play, and it is easy to lose the game in the process.

Although he was very reluctant to admit it, in fact, Qin Mo had already become the leader of the Shudao Branch, and his performance in the competition was directly related to the final results of the Shudao Branch.

Therefore, he believes that he must pay attention to it, and cannot go to the third round with both eyes, and it is irrational to bet on luck.

In fact, after winning two games in a row, Qin Mo has already won the right to qualify from the group.

There are four players in a group, and there are no draws in the tournament, so the best result in a group is to win three games, then the winner of two, and the two advance to the next round, and the winner of one and all three is eliminated.

The result of winning three games and winning two games is very different.

First of all, the winner of three games can contribute one more point to the house, and don't underestimate this point, it can play a key role in the final battle for the championship house crown.

In the past ten years, at least half of the cases, it is the Qin Dao Academy that has taken the lead in chess or drawing by one point, becoming the champion team in the envy of everyone, and then gaining the right to choose the area where the branch is located.

Secondly, in the second round of the tournament arrangement, the person who wins three matches plays the player who wins two games, which is definitely an advantage for the person who wins three games, because the opponent is weaker in comparison.

But for a player who has won two games, it is definitely not a good thing to have to fight a stronger opponent.

Because of this, Gu Meng hopes that Qin Mo can win three games in a row, and if he draws a weak opponent in the second round, it will be more likely to enter the semifinals.

The only way to do this is to take the time to learn more attacks.

Therefore, Gu Meng did not come to eat, but to make up lessons and teach him real calligraphy skills.

Qin Mo spread out the rice paper on the table and asked, "What are you learning today, is it still [ligature]?"

Gu Meng shook his head and said: "Your opponent tomorrow is an old bird, he participated in the Four Academies Competition last year, and won the first round of qualification, plus the calligraphy and painting are of the same origin, his understanding of calligraphy is even better than yours, it is difficult to win by relying on [ligatures into soldiers]." Besides, you only have less than a day to spare, and there's only so much you can learn, so it's better to pick something more practical. ”

"What's more practical?"

"Words for soldiers!"

"Huh?" Qin Mo's eyes widened, he was very suspicious that there was something wrong with Gu Meng's head, [even words into soldiers] may not be useful, can [single words for soldiers] work?

Gu Meng Zhengse said: "I don't mean to joke, the [Single Word for Soldier] as you understand it stays at the most basic stage, and the third realm of single words is not the highest form, and there is a more powerful ultimate state above it." ”

The ultimate state, also known as the ultimate state, is the highest state of calligraphy.

The reason why Qin Mo didn't know was because the Academy of Literature and Taoism never taught these contents, and if he wanted to master the ultimate realm, he first needed a literary position above Xiucai, and secondly, he needed a famous teacher to tutor him in order to succeed.

The Great Song Dynasty pursued the cultivation situation of the Wendao Academy and the imperial examination, which had the advantage of being able to continuously train a considerable number of scribes and become the mainstay of the imperial court and the state;

But the shortcomings are also obvious, everyone learns the same things, more like the mass production model of later generations, which fundamentally stifles the creativity of students.

Apprenticeship becomes schooling, and the teacher-student relationship is far less close than that between master and apprentice, and teachers basically can't teach each other, and what students can learn is naturally limited.

Many people come back to visit famous teachers after they have achieved fame, but by then they have passed the best stage of learning, and it is difficult to achieve great things.

Not only the calligraphy, but also the other three realms have many ultimate realm exercises, which cannot be learned in the academy either.

Gu Meng picked up the brush and wrote the word "gun" on the paper in italics, saying: "This word is a very ordinary kind in [Single Word for Soldiers], and the third realm is nothing more than a slightly weird flying spear, the attack power is not strong, and the defense power is even lower to the extreme.

But its ultimate realm is extremely powerful, not only can it conjure up a peerless famous gun, but it will also appear with its owner. ”

He dipped the ink again, and then said, "You see, I will use a special way of writing, a style of writing that you have never seen before, and the process of writing is particularly important. ”

After speaking, he walked the dragon and snake and wrote the word "gun" in cursive script on the paper.

The shape of this character is strange, and the strokes reveal a hideous shape, like a coiled giant snake, ready to attack, as if it will jump up and bite you at any moment.

The handwriting flashed, and then a general wearing Han Dynasty armor appeared in front of Qin Mo, holding a plum blossom gun one foot and one foot long, and the word "crown" engraved on the heart guard on his chest was cast.

The general's face is heroic, more like a scholar, his face is as white as jade, and his eyes are awe-inspiring.

"Is this the champion General Hou Huo?" Qin Mo asked.

Gu Meng nodded and said: "That's right, it is the champion Hou Huo who is sick, the weapon in his hand is called the plum blossom gun, which ranks third among the top ten famous guns, and he once used this gun to break several kings' tents of the Huns and seal the wolf Juxu." ”

The general stood still and did not squint, but it still brought a lot of pressure to Qin Mo, and it was not difficult to judge that his combat effectiveness was very strong.

Gu Meng continued: "The writing of the word 'gun' just now was created by the merits of Zhang Zhi, a half-saint of calligraphy in the Han Dynasty, and it is a secret that has not been passed down by the Zhang family in the past dynasties. My ancestors once married the Zhang family, and then obtained this method, but the same is not a descendant of the children can not learn it, you are my proud disciple, today to teach you. ”

Qin Mo clenched his fists and said, "Student Xie for the grace of Teacher Xie." ”

PS: It's finally the turn of the scribe to appear, so everyone has been waiting for a long time, and Lao Mo is calling for support~!
