Volume 1: Wind and Rain Chapter 7: The Peak of No Return

The top of this world's second tallest building, the world calls it 'the peak of no return', has a long history and cannot be studied.

In a secret room at the Peak of No Return, Shen Lang sat on a ball of grass, holding a white child, and confronted an old man with a withered manuscript on the chessboard of the nineteenth road.

Although it was autumn, the weather was still sultry, and the boy pinched the white zi, tapped it on the chessboard, and was eager to make a trick or two to break the predicament.

Life is like chess, the world is impermanent, the more he thinks hard, but the more he can't, he is so anxious that his clothes are soaked behind his back, and the sweat of the bean crosses his cheeks, dripping down the chessboard along his chin, and he doesn't dare to fall for a long time, for fear of being stolen from the dragon, and he will collapse at the touch of a button.

The chessboard wins and loses, white four black six, black chess has gradually become a trend of encirclement, gradually encroaching, swallowing whales at every turn, white chess has fallen into a muddy swamp, the harder you struggle, the deeper you fall into it.

The old man looked at his cub with a smile, picked up the fan next to him, and set off a breeze, bringing a touch of refreshment to the young man.

Shen Lang took the fan from his father-in-law's hand, waved it vigorously, and suddenly the breeze gusted, staring at the old man, and asked tentatively: "Step-by-step, step-by-step, step-by-step, is it because he wants to slay the dragon?" ”

The old man looked out the window at dusk, which meant something: "As a chess player, the more trapped in thorns, the more you must deal with it calmly, and sometimes you might as well put down the chess pieces, jump out of the chessboard, and be an outsider." ”

Hearing this, the young man pondered for a while, stared at his father-in-law and asked, "The vitality is dim, and there is an ambush on three sides, can you put it to death and come back to life?" ”

The old man took back the fan from the cub's hand and wandered leisurely: "I can deduce and calculate three to five moves at most when I play chess, and I am not a popular character in the eyes of any chess master, but!" ”

Speaking of this, the old man paused slightly, began to shake the fan gently, and the words changed: "I pay attention to the word 'change'!." ”

"What is the meaning of the word 'change'?" After Shen Lang frowned and asked, he secretly speculated about the mystery: "Is it unchanged and should change?" Or is it improvisation? Could it be that it is changing rapidly? ”

The old man waved the fan a little harder, and the breeze stroked the young man's hair close to his sideburns, and said exactly what the young man was thinking: "Since you have already thought about it, you might as well try it?" ”

Shen Lang exhaled a hot breath and stared at the chessboard silently.

After a small half-sound, the young man suddenly picked up a white child, gave up the good situation in the northwest, and left Tianyuan!

This unreasonable method, so good that he didn't die, really opened the white chess situation, like a divine soldier descending from the sky, breaking the black chess barrier in one fell swoop.

The resurgence of white chess!

The young man suddenly stretched his brows, and his heart was relaxed: "Break and stand up!" ”

The old man sighed, the big dragon that was finally done well, you can use the dragon slaying method within three steps, and the vitality of the white chess is cut off between the fingers, and now the layout is broken, and the victory and defeat are back to five or five!

The old man was not calm at once, he muttered for a while, and from the northwest corner of the chessboard, he picked up a sunspot, made a decision, he stared at Yizi, and said: "Wait! and let him regret his father's move. ”

Before the young man could react, the old man had already twisted the black man, squeezed out the white chess pieces in the Tian Yuan position, and took it for himself.

Then he boasted to himself and laughed: "Such antelopes hang horns, and they are so clever that they can get it, it's just wonderful!" ”

"Me @+&?" The corners of the boy's mouth twitched, and he almost burst into a foul mouth.

Staring at the old man who was not ashamed to quote scriptures and boast about himself, he held his chest and felt a little cramping.

After coming to his senses, the young man looked at the chessboard with a slump in his head, and accidentally caught a glimpse of the gap in the northwest corner, and his spirit was lifted, as if he was carrying a pot for empowerment.

Shen Lang picked up the chess piece that had been squeezed out of the chessboard, snapped on the ground, and buckled it in the northwest star position.

The boy laughed a little sadly: "It turned out to be improvised!" ”

In the desperate place, the situation in the northwest is very good, and you can climb high and look far away.

Now the winner is the winner, white six black four!

The father-in-law had a straight face, and he was in no mood to fan the cub at the moment.

Squeezed out a smiling face and stretched out his hand to the northwest star position: "I don't know if I can be a father again..."

The young man shook his head decisively and refused: "Can't!" ”

The father-in-law blushed and reluctantly retracted his hand, and after a while, the old man who felt powerless finally exploded.

Don't show your old face, and reach out to mess up the black and white chess pieces.

Then he pointed at the young man and scolded: "No more!" No more! Rabbit cubs, will they respect the old and love the young? ”

Shen Lang didn't say a word, so he slapped a colorful sycophant: "Father's chess strength is huge, rare in the world, see the article for the subtleties, if it weren't for your old man's guidance, I would have been killed to the point that nothing was left, and now I accidentally disrupted the chess pieces, and I can't review the game, I am lucky to be on par with my father, what do you think?" ”

The old man who was disrespectful to the old man made a spur, and motioned to the little rabbit cub to sort the black and white chess pieces and put them in the chess bowl: "This is almost the same!" ”

Shen Lang had to do as he was told.

"That's pretty much it." The old man who pinched the young man crossed Erlang's legs, stroked his beard and said, "Tea or wine?" ”

The boy who had divided the chess pieces stood up and replied, "Drink tea!" ”

The old man waved his hand: "It's better to drink the bar!" ”

When he had finished speaking, the old man stood up, walked to the window, stuck his head out, and scolded, "What about you hanging yourself outside?" Go and bring two jugs of wine to Lao Tzu. ”

In the twilight, a masked man, like a bat, hanging upside down in the shadow of the tile, closed his eyes and recuperated suddenly opened his eyes.

After the man replied, he let go of the soles of his feet, fell into the sea of clouds, and disappeared.

The old man sat back in his place and said, "Lang'er, what do you say they have a chance of winning?" ”

"The old guy is finally willing to get down to business."

Shen Lang muttered in his heart, and it was not surprising that Xiaoyaojin would be unbelievable if there were not a few good players in the town scene!

replied: "There is nothing on the surface, but since there is a move, there must be a certain dependence." ”

"Go to Xuanwu Abyss and bring a few death row prisoners out, you don't have to treat them like Li Lanbing, give them a chance to live, they will be tempted, take a few cheats out, and they will work hard."

After finishing speaking, the old man flicked a simple copper coin with a bang, and he was proud: "Don't break my prestige." I miss the word Zhao Pu, in the Western Regions and Jiuyi, I can call Xiao'er stop crying! ”

Shen Lang stretched out his hand to catch it, and when he spread his fingers, he saw that a bird with wings was engraved on the front, and a beast running on the back, the whole was black and not circulating in the market.

Eyes narrowed slightly: "Oh? Black Butler? ”

The old man waved his hand and scolded with a smile: "Get out!" ! ”

The young man put the copper coin in his arms and smiled flatteringly: "Okay! You're resting! ”

Zhao Pu looked at the back of the cub leaving, laughing spicy and playful, and suddenly seemed to remember something, and shouted at the young man: "Get back!" ”

Shen Lang, who felt bad, covered his chest and shook his head desperately: "Want to take it back?" I won't even give it to death! ”

"Look at your little bit of talent, I don't want you, come and have a drink with my father."

The young man scratched his head, walked to his father-in-law and sat opposite him, and took the lead in speaking: "The matter of Muronglan, my father-in-law has heard of it..."

Zhao Pu stared at Yizi meaningfully: "It's just bait!" ”
