Chapter 5 A Thousand Miles Alone
"I'm going to go all the way alone. Wei Qisheng finally smiled, and a face that had been numb all day suddenly laughed, a little awkward.
The middle-aged man didn't know whether to be excited or sad, excited that someone had finally cracked the endgame for him, a big problem that had disturbed his mind for many years was finally going to be solved, and the sad thing was that the person who solved the endgame was a twelve- or thirteen-year-old boy, and he was only a first-level chess player, and he was not well known. The main thing is that he is going to lose those twenty gold coins.
"No way, this can't be, you must be talking nonsense. The middle-aged man screamed in a panic, his long hair hanging down, covering his eyes, like a group of demons dancing.
"If you don't talk nonsense, it will be revealed right away. A sturdy man who had regained a little reason sneered: "Don't brag about it, it's not good if the cowhide is blown out." ”
Wei Qisheng ignored them, picked up a red chess piece on the chessboard, it was a rook, and gently moved two to the side, "Rook five flat two." ”
The middle-aged man squatted down and moved the black pawn to the side, "pawn seven flat eight".
He's been studying this endgame for many years, he's been familiar with all the changes, he's thought everything through, and he's tried almost every move hundreds or thousands of times.
"Rook two into one", Wei Qisheng nodded, knowing that middle-aged people playing chess are the most dangerous for red chess, and they can immediately force red chess into a desperate situation, it seems to be gentle and uneventful, but in fact it is like the calm before the storm, the storm is behind, or a storm that blows everything and leaves nothing.
"Pawn four flat five. ”
The middle-aged man responded lightly, these two moves, he had considered them, they were all in his expectation, at this moment he felt that the little boy opposite was in the palm of his hand, he couldn't jump out at all, even if he had three heads and six arms, he could still follow one hundred and eight thousand miles.
"Boy, do you know how many moves I've considered? I've tried your moves a long time ago, and there's no way to succeed. The middle-aged man looked confident, "I'm really not afraid of the wind flashing my tongue, it seems that what I was worried about just now was my own mediocrity, and I still want to win the old man's ten gold coins." ”
"Handsome five flat six. Wei Qisheng played chess calmly, gently picked up a chess piece with his fingers, and put it in a new place, regardless of the rumors outside.
"Look at his very ordinary, and there is no special way of moving, I have tried this kind of move a long time ago, and I can't use the rules of the commander to contain the enemy soldiers. This kind of appearance seems really powerful for novices, but for us second- and third-level chess players, it is simply a joke, just like a toy in the hands of a child, and he wants to use the toy to break the four endgames, which is really laughing to death. ”
"Newborn calves are not afraid of tigers, and today's children are all doing their own thing, thinking that I am the first in the world and self-centered. In fact, he is a frog at the bottom of the well, he doesn't know the height of the sky, and it is good to learn a lesson, which can make him recognize the big world faster, face the reality, and grow faster. ”
"Not all teenagers are like this, not the peerless boy in the legendary Luoshui Ancient Town Luoshui Chess Academy. ”
"That's a good thing, but after all, it's a minority, where will geniuses walk all over the streets, and demons run everywhere. Most people still have to walk down-to-earth, and people are self-aware. Not everyone can become a legend. ”
"Whatever, let's just watch the show, just watch it. ”
"But those who are involved in the bet are going to win, and they should have known to bet a little bit as well. ”
In the midst of the talk of the people around him, Wei Qisheng and the middle-aged man were playing chess step by step, while the old man was lying aside, smelling the wine on the street, biting the fruit in his hand, not worried at all, as if it was none of his business, hanging high, enjoying this free and boring time like watching a play.
"Like seven into five. ”
"The car is four and five. "Bang, Black's elephant is eaten. Before moving the position of the car, put the black elephant outside the chessboard. Looking up at the shocked middle-aged man.
The middle-aged man was already numb and unable to speak, and the nerves of his whole body were stimulated by a miracle, and he was crispy and numb. His lips trembled, his body trembled, his brain went blank, he didn't know whether he was happy or sad, he was a little dazed. His eyes couldn't leave the chessboard, he reached out and touched his side, touched a wine bottle, opened the lid, and took two large sips.
"One car fights three soldiers. Wei Qisheng smiled, revealing his white teeth, youthful sunshine, like a newborn sun. Full of light but not dazzling.
There was silence in the crowd around them, and after a moment, there was an unparalleled burst of cheers and applause, deafening and resounding through the sky. So more people came, and people asked each other, and those who came early told them what had happened to those who came late, and the listeners cheered and applauded again, and so the applause and cheers continued like the wind blowing, and it blew all over the town.
"Something happened. "In the center of Wangyu Town, there is a large manor, which is beautiful, the birds are singing and the flowers are fragrant, and at this moment in the highest exquisite and elegant attic in the garden, a majestic middle-aged man asked lightly.
The attic is delicate and picturesque, full of works by famous artists, including landscape paintings, figure paintings, and unique poems. In the center of the attic is a table, a table made of jade, green and transparent, which makes people look at it and love it.
The chessboard is painted on the jade table, and there are chess pieces on the chessboard, and the chess pieces are also carved in pink and jade, and the jade used is thousands of times better than the jade table, which is extremely cute, and it is round and comfortable in the hand.
At the jade table sat a middle-aged man, in his mid-forties, with a short beard and a very delicate repair. The blue clothes are fluttering, and the coolness makes people feel like a spring breeze. At this moment, he was holding a chess piece in his hand, and he didn't put it down for a long time, looking at the chessboard with a solemn face.
A bright-eyed young man in the attic looked at the place where the noise had come from, and saw the pedestrian flow on the street in the distance, all running to one place like a sea of rivers. I don't know what's going on.
"It's been a long time since this kind of event has happened in Wangyu Town, and almost everyone in the town has run to watch it, except when you defeated that chess demon and became a fourth-level chess master. However, the grand occasion of that year was not only such a scene, even people from other towns came to watch. The boy said proudly.
"Go down and ask what's going on, don't have an accident. The middle-aged man in blue still said lightly, brushing his sleeves and pressing the chess pieces in his hand onto the chessboard.
"Okay, master. The boy stepped back and ran down to ask. After a while, he ran up and stood respectfully. "Nothing major happened, I just heard that a young boy is just a first-level chess player who broke one of the four endgames for a thousand miles alone. ”
"Oh, and things like that. The middle-aged man seems to have figured out the move again, reaching out to push the chess pieces. "Thousands of miles alone who can break the four endgames, this little boy seems to be good, wait for me to see it for myself. ”
"A small first-level chess player, maybe just a mistake, lucky, accidentally broke this thousand miles alone, where is it worth the master to see him in person. If the master wants to see him, the disciple will call someone to call him. The boy said urgently.
"Xuanguang, your mood is still so frizzy. The middle-aged man glanced up at the young man known as Xuanguang, "Playing chess is not a simple thing, nor is it a matter of violence. Although today's Tao is the way of chess, and the game is a soul chess, the state of mind is still very important, if the mind is not quiet, the brain is not clear, and the brain is not clear, and the brain is not clear, it will undoubtedly lose. ”
"What the master is talking about, after all, it is your chess strength that depends on the soul chess. ”
"Chess strength is only a superficial strength, and soul chess also has an internal strength. You don't see how many strong chess players have been defeated by weak chess players in the past 10,000 years. Xuanguang, you still have to practice a lot. ”
"The disciple knows. Xuanguang lowered his head. The middle-aged man stood up, patted Xuanguang on the shoulder, and walked forward.
The alleys were crowded with people, bustling and rubbing shoulders, all the way out of the street. The cheers, cheers, and applause came and went, wave after wave, and never stopped. The people behind struggled to raise their heads on tiptoe, looking at the survivors who were surrounded by the crowd.
"These coins are mine. The old man's eyes lit up, and he excitedly threw away the fruit in his hand and put the gold coins in the cloth bag.
"Finally, it's broken. The middle-aged man holding the wine bottle in his hand trembled his hands, looked at the chessboard, seriously recalled the game just now, and recalled it step by step, clear and vague.
Then he suddenly threw away the wine bottle in his hand frantically, desperately found a lambskin, and seriously recorded the way he had just moved. The heart that has been tormented for many years is finally broken, and the middle-aged man is like a spring breeze, and a ray of light breaks through the dark curtain in his heart. The tangled thread had been untied, and he knew that his chess strength had risen a lot.
No one cares about the lost coins anymore, they all take it seriously.
"The four endgames of a thousand miles of solitude were broken, by a first-level chess player, by a twelve-year-old boy. "Everyone was shocked.
"Since then, there are no four endgames, only three endgames. ”
The old man patted the bulging cloth bag, wiped his mouth with satisfaction, and squeezed into the crowd.
Wei Qisheng hurriedly followed behind him and squeezed out of the crowd. Everyone was carefully recording the chess game, and if they were not careful, they ran away without a trace before they were born and the old man.
"Boy, what are you doing with me. The old man's eyes widened, and he shouted angrily at the future life that followed him like a shadow. "I don't know you, I don't know you, I don't know anything in my body. Although these coins are earned through you, they are mine. ”
"Sir, what do you call me? Wei Qisheng ignored the old man's nonsense and asked respectfully.
"It's your business, we don't need to call it, anyway, it will be indefinite, we will never meet again, why do you need to call it?" the old man scolded dissatisfiedly and walked quickly.
Wei Qisheng stood in place and watched the old man walk away, and did not follow again. As the sun sets, the world appears red, like a scene in a painting.
The old man who walked not far away glanced back and found that Wei Qisheng did not follow him anymore, but stood there, staring blankly at the sunset, raising his eyebrows in confusion. Then, as if I was touched by something, I remembered something.
"Hey, boy, I picked this up on the side of the road, I don't know what it says, it's useless for me to keep it anyway, I'll give it to you. The old man turned and threw a sheepskin.
Weiqisheng caught the sheepskin and looked at the old man who gradually disappeared into the afterglow of the sunset, a strange old man.
The old man's words seemed to be full of meaning still echoed in the air.
"Life is like chess, chess is like life, the chess continent is like the chessboard, and we are all just a chess piece on the chessboard, and we can't help ourselves. ”
