Xu Chengye was defeated, so completely.

If it was excusable to lose to Qin Mo last time, I really couldn't find any reason this time.

Last time, he used the lowest-grade bamboo flute, and he suffered a loss in terms of utensils, but this time he used a medium-grade Wenbao rhinoceros tibial flute, which was worth thousands of taels of silver and had no price.

On the other hand, Qin Mo's three-millimeter Qiankun pen is barely a low-level literary treasure, worth only more than 100 taels of silver, which is dozens of times different from the rhinoceros tibial flute, which is not the same.

Secondly, Qin Mo was required not to write with both hands, although he used Shuangwen Dao to fight the enemy, but it was obviously not as direct as only using calligraphy.

In this case, Xu Chengye can be defeated, which shows that he is not wronged at all in losing, Qin Mo can defeat Xiucai before the test, which shows that his strength is close to Xiucai.

As soon as the referee announced the result, Xu Chengye turned around and ran, not even the flute on the table, he really didn't have the face to continue to stay here.

Qin Mo saluted the three referees in turn, then left the arena and walked towards Gu Meng.

Gu Meng nodded at him and said, "The performance is good, it has made a good start for our calligraphy branch, and I hope that the other three contestants can also get off to a good start." ”

Hope is plump, but reality is skinny.

With the end of the first round of eight games, Gu Meng's face became more and more gloomy, and finally became the same color as the bottom of the pot.

The reason is that except for Qin Mo who scored one point in the first game, the other three players all lost.

The first seed lost to the piano player Ma Zhong, the second seed lost to the piano Li Shengcai, and the third seed also bowed down in front of the piano college.

In other words, if there is no Qin Mo's victory, the calligraphy branch will be swept by the qin dao players.

The Academy led today's game with three points, two points each for chess and painting, and a pitiful one point for calligraphy.

Not only was Gu Meng unhappy, but everyone in the Shudao Branch was depressed, and they didn't know whether to feel happy or disappointed.

Fortunately, Qin Mo took the Zhongfu Examination a few days ago, obtained the qualification to participate in the battle of the four academies, and successfully became an official player, so the calligraphy branch did not lose in the first round.

Disappointing is that four people participated in the competition, and only Qin Mo is the only one who is reliable, and it is difficult for the calligraphy branch to achieve good results, and the future is worrying.

The superintendent announced loudly: "This is the end of today's competition, all the players will have a good rest after they go back, recharge their energy, and strive to have a better performance tomorrow." In order not to affect the daily classes of the students, the competition will be changed from tomorrow to the afternoon, and the classes will start normally in the morning, can you hear clearly?"

The court then said: "Everyone disperses. ”

Gu Meng sighed, turned around and left, and the people in the Shudao branch left one after another, no one spoke along the way, and the atmosphere was slightly depressing.

When he walked to the fork in the road, Qin Mo directly chose the road to Tingquan Caolu.

Gu Meng also followed, and everyone watched them leave with blank expressions.

The two seeds, A and B, were red-faced, and their performances in the match made Gu Meng very unhappy.

Qin Mo looked at Gu Meng sideways and said, "Is it appropriate to leave without even saying hello?"

Gu Meng glanced at him and snorted, "Aren't you the same. ”

"It's not the same. He shook his head solemnly and said, "I am a student, you are the leader of the teaching, this is a difference in status......; Even if it's not a loser, at least it has nothing to do with the word victory, and this is the time when everyone is in a low mood, so I really don't plan to say a few words of encouragement?"

Gu Meng shook his head and said: "It's useless to say it, it's obviously extremely weak, is it possible to lie to them that they will definitely win the game in the future?" I don't believe in it, and they naturally won't believe it, so it's useless to say more." ”

Qin Mo shrugged, and his steps became bigger and bigger.

After a stick of incense, the two came to the grass house.

Gu Meng poured two cups of tea first, poured one of them into his stomach, and said, "Tomorrow your opponent is Du Ziqiu of the Chess Dao Branch, and it is necessary to make some preparations for him." ”

Qin Mo said in a relaxed tone: "Is it necessary, he is the only chess player who has not tried the pre-test position, and he is an ordinary child." ”

Gu Meng shook his head and said seriously: "Don't underestimate Du Ziqiu, I specifically inquired with the people of the Chess Branch, although this person is not a pre-trial talent, but he defeated the No. 3 seed player in the selection tournament and obtained the qualification for the competition." ”

Qin Mo raised his eyebrows and said, "In this way, he has the strength of no less than the pre-trial show." ”

Gu Meng nodded and added: "And he has a talent for pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger, in the first few matches of the selection tournament, his performance was tepid, which caused the third seed to take it lightly, and the result was a particularly miserable defeat."

Also, in today's game, Du Ziqiu defeated his opponent by a slight margin, although in the eyes of outsiders, he won very hard, and everyone thought that he was lucky, but I think he deliberately hid his strength. ”

Qin Mo frowned and asked, "Is his opponent also a pre-trial talent?"

"That's right. Gu Meng said very meaningfully: "And he is the second seed of the Painting Dao Branch, I know that you want to ask Xu Chengye about his ranking among the piano dao players, as far as I know, Ma Zhong and Li Shengcai, who defeated our two pre-trial talents today, are very powerful, and their strength is by no means below him." Especially Ma Zhong, he has a calm personality and is not as flamboyant as Xu Chengye, so he is not as good as him in terms of fame, but he is much more powerful in terms of strength. ”

Qin Mo put away his previous idea of underestimating the enemy, thinking that Xu Chengye represented the first-line strength of the Qindao Branch, and he would be able to stand out from the crowd if he defeated him, but he didn't expect that there were people who were stronger than him.

Gu Meng continued: "Therefore, you have to seize the time to study hard and practice hard to be able to get results in the next competition." Your opponents will not be idle, and they will come up with at least two or more countermeasures for any attack that has appeared today, and if you choose to repeat them in the next fight, you will inevitably be caught off guard by the opponent. ”

If your own strength is not strong enough, you can only choose to make surprise moves if you want to win.

Qin Mo understood what he meant, and said straight to the point: "What are you going to teach me today?"

The child can be taught!

Gu Meng showed a look of relief and said: "With [ligature into soldiers] as the mainstay, supplemented by chess, teaching you chess is not for you to use it against the enemy, but to fully understand the opponent's attack methods, and then to deal with it calmly in the game." ”

The [ligature into soldiers] learned today are "lightning and thunder", "elephant stud" and "liao guard", the first two are used for attack, and the latter is used for defense.

The most interesting thing is "Liao Shou", which is the same as "Mo Shou", because "Mo Shou" has become a famous song of Qin Dao as early as a thousand years ago, and has been frequently used and carried forward by Qin Dao scribes.

In this case, there are a lot fewer calligraphers and scribes who use "conformism", and this is the opportunity for "Liaoshou" to emerge.

The word "Liao" in "Liao Shou" represents Zhang Liao, the general of Cao Wei during the Three Kingdoms period.

This person is the head of the five good generals, in the battle of Heqi with 7,000 people against Sun Quan's 100,000 Eastern Wu soldiers, fierce battle for dozens of days, Eastern Wu lost troops and generals, because they could not conquer the city can only retreat, as a result, Zhang Liao led the army out of the city to pursue, the Eastern Wu army fell into the water, Sun Quan almost died in this battle.

After this battle, Zhang Liao's reputation was greatly enhanced, and he was a good general for defending the city, and later the calligraphers and scribes were grateful for their merits and created the word "Liao Shou" as [ligature into soldiers].

The most important thing is that it is easier and more time-saving to write two characters than to write four characters, and this is particularly important in the competition.

Qin Mo's expression was calm, and he used the word "Liao Shou" written by Gu Meng as a model.

In order to get a smoother writing process, he decided to change the way Lu Feng wrote into the pen, and instead used the virtual pen method.

The pen full of literary power makes a reverse movement in the air, and when the pen is returned, it falls on the straight face, and the rice paper makes a slight sound.

First, a short stroke, then fold the pen to the lower right to write a short stroke, then pause to write a vertical stroke, and finally write a hook, and then turn the pen and write away again.

Qin Mo frowned slightly, although the writing process was extremely smooth, he was not satisfied with this word, and still felt that the pen was not crisp enough, it should be faster.

Now that he had found the problem, he started writing it all over again.

I tried four times in a row, and each time I improved.

The fifth time, he once again sped up the speed of the void pen technique, and if you didn't look closely, you would think that he was putting the pen directly on the paper, which was no different from the common Lu Feng writing.

Gu Meng stands very close, so he can see clearly and capture every detail.

Qin Mo's pen speed was quite fast, and he even brought an afterimage.

Swish...... Boom!

This is the sound formed by the pen falling on the paper, Gu Meng suddenly raised his head and said, "Is there a change in your Wen Palace?"

Under normal circumstances, he would not speak when Qin Mo was practicing calligraphy.

Qin Mo was stunned for a moment, the brush in his hand stopped, and only then did he realize that a whirlwind was blowing in the Wen Palace, and under the force of the Holy Dao Star, a blue-gray cyclone was rapidly forming.

"What's the situation?" he was taken aback.

Gu Meng became calmer instead, and said with a smile, "Obviously, you have learned the new skill of [Writing with Voice]. ”

"This ...... It's too fast. "He's still a little unacceptable.

I only got [Hideous Head Corner] yesterday, and today I have another [Writing Sound], one a day, is it normal?

Gu Meng said very responsibly: "Normal, not normal! For gifted people, it is not difficult to acquire a new skill in a day, and anyone who can reach the level of Void Saint has at least a thousand stars and cyclones in the Wen Palace, and the Half-Saint is even more powerful, close to ten thousand. Just imagine, one a day, ten thousand, how many years?"

This is a very simple arithmetic problem, Qin Mo said without thinking: "Twenty-seven years!"

Gu Meng nodded and said, "That's right, it will take nearly thirty years to attain it, and a person who starts cultivating from childhood and acquires a new skill a day will not be able to become a half-saint until he is forty or fifty years old. But for most people, because of limited qualifications, let alone a new skill a day, sometimes it is difficult to acquire one for months or even half a year. ”

Qin Mo smiled and said, "Obviously, I am the former. ”
