At the end of the morning's classwork, Gu Meng put away the lecture notes and said, "Yesterday's results in our competition were not good, which was caused by the dual reasons that the enemy was strong and we were too weak, and Dr. Ben did not want to comment too much on this. Anyway, it's the last place every time, and there's nothing to be ashamed of, people will only say that the students of the Calligraphy Branch are not good, and it doesn't have much to do with me, who is a doctor. So, you just have to keep a normal heart to participate, I don't have anything you. ”

With that, he picked up the handout and walked away.

The children look at me, I look at you, all with embarrassed expressions on their faces.

Although Gu Meng's words are not popular, they are all true, and not only the Xiayi County Wendao Academy, but also the entire calligraphy branch in the Great Song Dynasty are in a recession.

The two seeded players A and B glanced at each other, and both of them had wry smiles on their faces.

As the hope of the Calligraphy Branch, they collapsed in the first game, which is really a bit unreasonable.

Qin Mo was the first to pack up the stationery, stood up and prepared to leave.

The No. A seed immediately stood up and said, "Case Chief Qin, you don't want to go back to eat, do you?" The grass house is far away from here, and it's too much time to go back and forth, so why don't I come to the east, let's go to the arena together after dinner." ”

Qin Mo smiled faintly and said, "Thank you, senior, I have already told Dr. Gu to have dinner together." ”

After he left the school, Seed B walked over, shrugged his shoulders and said, "No wonder Dr. Gu thinks so highly of him, he is the head of the case, and he is the first child in the world, although you and I have been children for a long time, we can't compare with it." ”

A child next to him spoke: "I heard that the Qin case is going to take the hospital examination in two months, and Dr. Gu is full of confidence in him. ”

The No. A seed exclaimed: "Three consecutive exams in a year, is it possible that he wants to break the record of Su Sansheng?"

"With Qin's qualifications, it is not a problem to take three exams in a row, and it should not be difficult to show off in the exam. The No. B seed analyzed: "But if you want to get the first place in the college exam, I'm afraid it's not so easy, how many people are staring at this position, some people deliberately extend the time to take the exam in order to get this honor, there are so many pre-test talents, it is difficult for him to do it." ”

When the pilgrim Su Shi took the county examination, the government examination and the hospital examination within a year, he won the three titles of double A child in the county examination, the head of the government examination and the hospital examination.

But in the past few decades, no second person has done it, and it has become an insurmountable mountain in everyone's hearts.

The head of the government examination is called the head of the case, and the first person in the hospital examination is Di Sheng.

There are two kinds of students, one is the trial and the other is the supplement.

Try, as the name suggests, is to get the first place in the college examination, and there are only four candidates in each prefecture every year, one each of them is qin, chess, calligraphy and painting.

The hospital examination is the same as the government examination, it is the examination of the government as a unit, because the number of places in the examination is too small, and each county has at least a dozen or more students, and some counties have not been able to have a test for several years, and the quota can not be vacant, in this case, it has also given birth to the emergence of supplements.

Supplementing the liquor is to choose those who are excellent in character and learning from Xiucai to become a student and enjoy the rice and grain treatment given by the imperial court.

The Song family obtained the qualification for Song Xi by donating money to the county school and opening a porridge factory to the victims.

Although everyone is a showman, the status of the student is obviously one level higher than that of the ordinary talent, and the trial talent is one level higher than the supplement, and the status is equivalent to lifting people.

In order to get the title of test teacher, many children will take some special measures, such as refusing to participate in this year's college examination when they are already a talent before the test, but postponing their participation by one or two years, so as to increase the cultivation time and facilitate the extraordinary performance in the reference.

The No. A seed nodded and said: "Brother Tai's analysis is reasonable, it is not easy for him to be the head of the high school examination, it is difficult to master all the skills of the old boy in two months, and it is already a great luck to barely be able to take the middle school examination, and the chance of being a middle school student is almost zero." ”

The fact that the people in the class did not refute it shows that they think the same way.

In the dining room, Qin Mo and Gu Meng sat opposite each other.

Gu Meng pulled the rice into his mouth and said, "When you play later, try to attack at the beginning and don't give your opponent a chance to breathe." ”

"Why?" he asked.

Gu Meng swallowed what was in his mouth, and said: "Du Ziqiu is good at hiding his strength, he likes to play defensive counterattacks the most, and the method of attacking and hitting hard can not only reduce his chances of counterattacking, but even if there is a mistake, there is very little time left for the opponent." Secondly, Kombat can control the pace of the match, making it easier to win. ”

Qin Mo frowned slightly, and he didn't quite agree with this statement in his heart.

Seeing this, Gu Meng knew that he had his own thoughts, so he solemnly added: "Listen to me, there is nothing wrong." ”

Qin Mo did not agree, nor did he refuse, saying: "The situation on the field is changing rapidly, it is too early to say anything, let's decide according to the actual situation when the time comes." ”

A quarter of an hour later, everyone set off for the chess branch of the Chess Path.

Today is even more lively than yesterday, because it was changed to an afternoon competition, and the students did not have to worry about affecting their homework in the morning, but in the afternoon, it became more relaxed, and many people from the Xiucai class came to watch the excitement.

Today is the home of the chess players, and the four of them nod to the other three players with the confidence unique to the host.

Before the moment, the court supervisor and the court judge appeared at the same time, and the two went straight to the high platform, and the court judge announced that the players had entered the arena and each got ready.

A moment later, the court supervisor announced: "The second game of the first round of the four-court battle has officially begun, and the players from the first four games are invited to enter the court, and the chief and deputy referees are invited to enter the court." ”

After the players and referees are in place, the referee first signals to the two people on the high platform, and then starts the first item of the game - the gentleman's agreement.

There are two sets of chess sets on the table in front of Du Ziqiu, namely Go and Xiangqi, which are not of high level and belong to ordinary chess tools that are slightly higher.

He made a gesture of invitation and said, "Qin case first, please,"

Qin Mo's calligraphy utensils are the same as yesterday, a three-milli Qiankun pen, a purple bamboo spring and autumn pen, plus the most ordinary bluestone inkstone and ink strips, and a piece of medium character paper, the only thing that does not appear is the beast chess.

He didn't plan to use the chess path in today's game, because the opponent was a chess dao child, and the arena was also set up in the chess dao branch, so doing so would inevitably be a bit suspicious of playing a big knife in front of Guan Gong.

He smiled and said, "My request is that there will be no repetition of content, senior, please." ”

Even the gentleman's agreement is the same as yesterday, and this indifferent attitude is admirable.

Someone praised: "The first child in the world really lives up to his reputation, and he can be so tranquil during the competition." ”

But the people in the Shudao Branch didn't think so, Sun Yi shook his head and said: "You should let the other party ask for it first, even if you can't make a preemptive move, at least you can make corresponding adjustments." ”

Du Ziqiu said his request: "You are not allowed to use Wenbao." ”

The Wenbao mentioned here refers to auxiliary items other than Wendao utensils, such as seals, paperweights and other items commonly used by calligraphy children.

Qin Mo nodded, reached out and took off the ancient seal hanging from his belt and put it in his pocket.

The referee then announced: "The game is on." ”

Qin Mo stretched out his hands at the same time, picking up the Zizhu Spring and Autumn Pen in his right hand, because this hand has stronger writing ability, so he used an ordinary pen;

The two pens are dipped in ink together, and the left and right sides do not affect each other.

Looking at Du Ziqiu again, he chose chess unhurriedly, all five fingers of his right hand were opened, and he leaned into the chessboard in this posture, and when he left after a while, there was a black "Bing" chess between each of his four fingers.

He flipped his palm, and there was still a "soldier" chess piece lying quietly in his palm.

As we all know, a pair of chess has five black and red "pawn" chess, black is good at defending and red is good at attacking, and he chooses black chess pieces, obviously to take a defensive posture.

Instead of holding up the pieces with his hands as usual, he slowly placed them on the board.

This action attracted the interest of everyone who watched the battle, and everyone speculated about what he wanted to do.

As Wen Li revealed the skin of his palm, one part entered the five chess pieces, and the other part entered the chessboard.

Ma Chongming stood beside Sun Yi, frowned and said, "Could it be that Du Ziqiu wants to use the domain?"

Sun Yi's eyes widened: "He owns the chessboard realm?"

Swish!

The chessboard in front of Du Ziqiu suddenly shone brightly, enveloping the entire arena in an instant, and after a while, the light was restrained, and then disappeared.

Qin Mo frowned slightly, he also thought of the word "chessboard realm".

The chessboard field is one of the unique skills of the chess scribe, which is simply to turn the arena into your own chessboard, which can not only control the chess pieces to gallop in it at will, increase your own combat effectiveness, but also detect the opponent's every move.

In addition, different board areas have different skills, for example, some can play a role in increasing the power of the opponent, some can unconsciously consume the opponent's power and make him impatient, etc.

The chessboard field that children can use is very limited, and most of the fields are illusory, and basically do not have the ability to attack.

The moment the light disappeared, Qin Mo clearly felt that he was completely exposed in front of his opponent.

Originally, there was a distance of ten zhang between the two, and Tong Sheng's eyesight was limited, and he wrote on paper, and the other party could not see it.

And now, Du Ziqiu can easily know what he wrote.

Qin Mo took a deep breath to stabilize his mind, and continued to open the bow left and right, he wrote the word "Liao Shou" in his right hand, and the word "boom" in the seal body in his left hand.

One [ligature] and one [single word for soldiers].

Du Ziqiu also frowned, he didn't understand why Qin Mo chose the word "boom".

Because the strokes of this character are too complicated and the writing speed is very slow, no one will use it in the competition.

In comparison, "Liao Shou" seems quite normal.

Wait a minute!

No, it's not that Qin Mo is good at attacking.

Du Ziqiu frowned again, "Liao Shou" belongs to the defensive category of [ligature], both sides are on the defensive, how can they play?
