Sixth, the eternal difficulty
"The master is really amazing." Walking along the way, Xuan'er couldn't help but praise Mo Lingfeng.
"Haha, that's just so." Mo Lingfeng was a little embarrassed, but he was also very happy in his heart.
After walking a full kilometer, I came to a small courtyard surrounded by mountains and rivers.
In the middle of the courtyard, there is a stone table, on which is a chess board.
An old man with a white beard and white hair was sitting at a stone table, holding a chess piece in his hand, frowning and thinking.
Mo Lingfeng raised his eyes and was speechless for a while.
This old man is playing chess with himself, and this is boring to the point.
Xuan'er hurriedly stepped forward and saluted the old man.
"Senior chess master, there is a new master, come to participate in the assessment."
The old man didn't hear it, and still thought about it with a chess piece.
"Master, please wait a moment, the predecessors of the chess saint sometimes make a move of chess pieces, and they can think about it for four or five days or even longer, so let's just wait slowly." Xuan'er said to Mo Lingfeng.
Burst!
Mo Lingfeng almost sprayed. A chess piece wants to play chess with himself for four or five days, and if he is sick, this is!
But there is no way, I am here for assessment, but I dare not offend others.
Waited slowly, waited for half an hour, and didn't see any movement from the chess master, still the same as at the beginning, holding the chess, staring at the chessboard, thinking there.
You could think about it for a few days, but I can't wait. Mo Lingfeng was speechless for a while.
Xuan'er has already said that in two hours, whether I pass or not, even if I fail the assessment. If I fail, I'll burp.
Two hours, that's four hours, and you've been waiting for half an hour.
No, we can't wait any longer.
"Chess Saint seniors, juniors have limited time, can you take the assessment first, and then think about it?"
The chess master was stunned, as if he hadn't heard.
"It's useless, when the predecessor of the chess saint is thinking about the fall, even if the sky falls, he can't hear it." Xuan'er shook her head beside her.
So what's going to happen? In case this old guy thinks about it for a few more hours, it won't take a few days, and I'll hang up.
"No, I'll go over and pull the pieces on his chessboard, I'll see if he can hear it!" Mo Lingfeng gritted his teeth and said.
"Don't!" Xuan'er hurriedly stopped Mo Lingfeng.
"The predecessors of the chess saint are most taboo when they play chess, if you do that, he will kill you directly, and the assessment will be saved."
"This ......" Mo Lingfeng was helpless for a while.
So what to do? Is it just waiting for death?
Mo Lingfeng was troubled in his heart, pacing back and forth.
Suddenly, Mo Lingfeng paused, and an idea popped up.
"I can only gamble!"
Having made up his mind, Mo Lingfeng stepped towards the chess saint.
Xuan'er was startled when she saw this next to her.
"Master, you want to ......" Before Xuan'er finished speaking, Mo Lingfeng made a noise and pulled all the chess pieces on the chess table to the ground.
The chess master held the chess pieces, but there was still no response.
None of this works! Mo Lingfeng was completely convinced.
"Huh?" It took a full two minutes for the chess master to raise his head.
Mo Lingfeng saw how slow this reaction was.
The chess master glanced at Mo Lingfeng strangely, and then looked at the chess pieces scattered all over the ground, and suddenly his beard was full of anger.
"Bastard boy, dare to sabotage the old man to play chess, you can't die if you want to!" After speaking, there was a sudden surge of power
The momentum appeared on the chess saint, and Mo Lingfeng found that he couldn't even move.
It's so strong!
"Senior, wait a minute." Mo Lingfeng hurriedly shouted.
"Hmph, what else do you have to say if it affects my ability to play chess? Suffer death! ”
"I didn't mean to disturb my seniors playing chess, I had a reason!" Mo Lingfeng felt that it was difficult for him to breathe.
"Hmph, isn't it just for the assessment? ruined the old man's chess game, and still want to take the assessment? What a dream! ”
The chess master stretched out his big hand and slapped it towards Mo Lingfeng's head.
"Chess saint senior, mercy!" Seeing this, Xuan'er exclaimed in surprise and hurriedly shouted.
Anyway, the chess saint ignored it, and saw that his palm was about to fall on the top of Mo Lingfeng's head.
"I'm here to test your chess skills!" At the critical moment, Mo Lingfeng shouted and closed his eyes at the same time. Whether it's dead or alive, it depends on this sentence!
Mo Lingfeng is gambling!
He had seen the chess master actually play chess with himself before, which was enough to illustrate two problems.
First, this chess master has become obsessed with playing chess to a certain extent, otherwise which normal person would play against himself?
Second, this chess master is also boring to a certain point, but if someone plays chess with him, no matter how stinky the game is, it is better than playing with himself.
Based on these two considerations, Mo Lingfeng felt that if he offered to play chess with the chess master, he would most likely agree.
"Oh? Playing chess with me? You? Sure enough, as soon as Mo Lingfeng's words came out, the chess saint Sheng Sheng retracted the fallen palm, which was less than a centimeter away from the top of Mo Lingfeng's brain.
Mo Lingfeng broke out in a cold sweat and often exhaled.
The bet was right, and finally saved his life for the time being.
But whether you can survive in the end depends on what you will see.
"Yes, I don't know if the seniors of the chess saint dare to compete with the juniors?" Mo Lingfeng hurriedly said.
"Hahaha, the kid has a good tone?" The chess master smiled, and at the same time, the suffocating momentum on his body also dispersed.
"It's up to the seniors to dare." Mo Lingfeng looked directly at the chess saint and said.
The chess saint was silent and stared at Mo Lingfeng for a while, until Mo Lingfeng was almost out of confidence, and then he spoke.
"In that case, the old man will play with you."
"Good!" Mo Lingfeng agreed.
Whether the assessment of this level is successful or not depends on the ones that follow.
"It's up to you to decide how to compare, and the province said afterwards that the old man bullied the small." The chess master said with a look of indifference.
"When I was bored, I designed a game of endgame, I don't know if the predecessors of the chess saint dare to try and crack it?"
"Endgame? Hahahaha, there is no endgame in the world that the old man can't solve. ”
When Mo Lingfeng heard this, he sighed in his heart.
It's really fake, if that's the case, I'm still dead.
No, we've got to put some resistance on this old guy.
"The predecessor of the chess saint laughed, there is no unsolvable endgame in the world, even if it is a difficult endgame, give me a hundred and eighty years, and it will be solved, don't you say?" Mo Lingfeng deliberately said that one hundred and eighty years was extremely heavy.
"Hmph, boy, don't provoke the old man here, the old man will naturally not play tricks on you on the issue of time, and the time to crack it is also set by you." The chess saint said angrily.
"Okay, that's the case, then ten minutes, I don't know if you dare senior?" Mo Lingfeng raised his chin and deliberately made a contemptuous look.
"Ten minutes?" The chess saint was stunned for a moment, you know, you dare to call the endgame, it has its own subtlety, even if you are really extraordinary in chess, you don't dare to be arrogant, if you think wrong at the beginning, it is easy to fail.
In other words, there are only one or two opportunities, and if you start with a wrong idea, you waste your time.
But when he looked up and saw the contemptuous expression on Mo Lingfeng's face, the chess saint suddenly became angry.
When have you ever been despised in chess?
"Okay, the old man agreed!" The chess master said loudly.
When Mo Lingfeng heard this, he was overjoyed.
"The seniors of the chess saint must also know that the juniors are here for the assessment, so it is better to combine the assessment with this gambling chess, I don't know what the seniors think?"
"Hmph, if I lose, even if you pass the assessment." The chess master snorted coldly.
"Haha, good!" Mo Lingfeng laughed!
If you want to say what Mo Lingfeng's idea is, in fact, when Mo Lingfeng was a child, he inadvertently saw the full solution of the endgame, all of which were difficult chess that had not been cracked for nearly a hundred years, so Mo Lingfeng tried his best to recall, and finally only remembered one game.
Subsequently, Mo Lingfeng selected a few chess pieces from the ground and placed them on the chessboard according to the position in his memory.
"Chess Saint senior, please." Mo Lingfeng gestured towards the chess master.
"Okay, watch the old man break your mess."
As he spoke, the chess master immediately entered the state, and seemed to devote all his spirit to the endgame in front of him.
Mo Lingfeng carefully watched every change in the chess master's expression, beating drums in his heart.
Don't break it, my life depends on this endgame.
I don't know how long it took......
"Hahahaha, this endgame is really exquisite, but the old man has a way to solve it!"
Suddenly, the chess master snapped, quickly moved a few chess pieces, and the endgame was solved!
"Hmph, this time, what else do you have to say!"
Mo Lingfeng smiled slightly, in fact, he didn't know if this endgame was broken at all, he almost didn't know anything about chess, and even he didn't dare to guarantee whether this endgame was set correctly. But what he actually wants is not whether the chess master can break the game at all, but time...... So there was no trace of panic on Mo Lingfeng's face.
"The predecessor of the chess saint, it really deserves its name, I admire it!"
The corners of the chess saint's mouth twitched, and his face showed joy.
"It's just an endgame, how can it be difficult to live the old man, now that the endgame has been broken, your assessment is considered a failure, and the old man who has been punished by the thunder will come down to you, and the old man of the province will personally punish you."
"Failed the assessment?" Mo Lingfeng smiled and shook his head, "Did the seniors say they were joking?" ”
"Mistaken? Where did you go wrong? This endgame is obviously broken, young man, don't play tricks in front of the old man. A fierce light suddenly shone in the eyes of the chess master.
"How dare the juniors cheat, the endgame has indeed been broken, but how long is the time we agreed to break the game?" Mo Lingfeng looked directly at the chess saint and said.
"Time? This ......"
Only then did the chess saint remember that he had agreed with Mo Lingfeng before that he would solve the endgame within ten minutes, but before he devoted himself to the endgame, he had no concept of time, and when he cracked it, more than twenty minutes had passed.
"Senior Chess Master, with your identity, you shouldn't be able to settle accounts with a junior, right?" Mo Lingfeng deliberately bit the word "debt" very hard.
"Humph! The old man is not a debtor, this level, you have passed! "The chess saint is angry, and after saying that, he turned around.
One more level! Mo Lingfeng choked with joy.
"So, junior Xie Qisheng senior!" Mo Lingfeng slid towards the chess saint.
"Humph!" The chess master didn't even look at Mo Lingfeng, and waved his hand impatiently.
"Xuan'er, let's go, next level!" Mo Lingfeng happily beckoned Xuan'er to go to the next level.
Looking at the back of Mo Lingfeng leaving, the chess saint sighed lightly, he couldn't imagine that he was obsessed with chess and had never suffered a few defeats in his life, but today he lost a move under this young man.
"I hope you can get out of the Holy Realm alive, but the third one...... Alas! ”
