Chapter 14: The Game of Chess
The old man was interrupted by Ye Tian's words, his face gradually became gloomy, and he looked up at Ye Tian with a dissatisfied look: "Young man, watch chess and be silent!" ”
Ye Tian was too engrossed before he blurted out, realized the gaffe, scratched his head, and said, "I'm sorry, I was attracted by this chess game, and I couldn't help it for a while!" ”
The old man's face did not improve because of the apology, but showed a trace of boredom, he had seen a lot of people like Ye Tian, and his tone was unceremonious: "Young man, don't think that you know that I love to play chess, so you want to use the chess game to trick me!" ”
"What is the set?"
If Ye Tian was sorry just now, it was completely inexplicable now.
"Sir, I don't understand what you mean?"
The old man had a straight face and said sharply: "I have already explained that saving people only depends on fate, and it is not wise for you to be opportunistic!" ”
Ye Tian was stunned in place, the more the old man said this, the more wrong it became, making him feel as if he had a conspiracy, and said, "Who are you saving?" I'm just here to borrow pen and paper, just to see this game of chess interesting before I speak, if you don't like it, I'll go! ”
The old man's eyes flickered, as if he could see through Ye Tian's thoughts, and said, "Young man, since you are only interested in the chess game, can I ask you a few questions?" ”
Ye Tian wanted to leave, but seeing that the old man was unforgiving and idle, he thought he might as well tease him, and his tone was frivolous: "Strange old man, what do you want to ask?" ”
The old man was not angry at the title of "strange old man", but just waved the chess pieces in his hand and asked, "Have you ever learned Go?" ”
"Of course I did!"
Ye Tian did study Go in his previous life, otherwise he would not have spoken in front of the old man, but he didn't play it often, and he was forced to learn it out of desperation.
"Since you have learned Go, how can you say that black will win?"
Ye Tian glared at the chessboard and spread his hands: "Isn't this unclear?" ”
"Hahaha......"
Ye Tian's serious appearance caused the old man to laugh.
"Old man, what are you laughing at?"
The old man stopped laughing, his eyes were clear, and he stared at Ye Tian and said, "Do you really understand Go, or are you ignorant?" ”
"Although the black chess is cleverly arranged, but the white chess is strictly guarded, step by step, not only does not leave a gap, but on the contrary, it gradually connects the end of the end when defending, which has forced the black chess to a dead end, how can the black win a word?"
Ye Tian raised his eyebrows and snickered: "Old man, since you are sure that white chess will win, why don't we just use this game of chess?" ”
Playing a game of chess?
This request surprised the old man.
He thinks that Ye Tian, a young man, is in vain, just trying to use the chess game to show favor to himself, he has seen too many of this kind of hot-blooded young man, but he has never had a real talent.
Dare to play chess with yourself, and don't weigh it?
Ye Tian was not in a hurry for the old man to reply, he leisurely cocked Erlang's legs, fiddled with the chess pieces in the chess cup, and took out a few and played with them in the palm of his hand.
I don't know if I don't play, I am startled when I play, but I see that the chess pieces are smooth and shiny, oily and warm, and the game collides with each other, and the sound is clear and long, like the aftermath of a golden chime.
"Wow! Old man, you are so arrogant, the chess pieces made by Hetian Yu are good, this set of chess sets is not millions! ”
The old man frowned, his expression became strange, he didn't expect that this young man could see the color of the chess pieces at a glance, this is not simple.
"Alas!"
Seeing that the old man hadn't responded for a long time, Ye Tian tapped lightly on the table and muttered, "My eyes are as wide as a cow, don't worry, I won't rob you of chess!" ”
The old man came back to his senses, and saw that although Ye Tian's attitude was not in tune, he was confident, and he was also interested for a while, and said with a peaceful smile: "Young man, it seems that you are very confident, okay, the old man will play against you!" ”
The old man agreed, seeing that the chess pieces in his hand were about to fall, but Ye Tian raised his hand to stop him: "Wait a minute? ”
"What, you regret it?"
"It's not."
The corners of Ye Tian's mouth raised slightly, and a plan came to his heart, his face was pleasant, and he said: "I don't think it's interesting to go down like this, since you and I have decided to fight each other, why don't you add a lottery?" ”
The old man's attitude caused Ye Tian to be dissatisfied, and it was just a waste of time to win or lose.
He had now thought of a way to trick the old man and rub his arrogant spirit, but also to achieve the purpose of his trip.
The old man was not surprised, he thought that Ye Tian's request was reasonable, if there were no conditions, he would feel strange.
He decided in his heart that Ye Tian's accosting was an ulterior motive.
"Young man, what do you want to do?"
The old man's heart is like a mirror, he doesn't say anything about it, he just shows a meaningful smile: "Let's say okay first, ask for money, but the old man doesn't have it!" ”
Ye Tian waved his hand and said with a mysterious expression: "Don't worry, I just want you to promise me one thing if I win!" ”
Sure enough, as the old man expected, Ye Tian's words obviously came with a request, but at the moment he was also interested and didn't want to refuse.
Although he said before that he would no longer save people easily, in the eyes of the old man, it was impossible for Ye Tian to win this game.
This is not an easy game!
If he wants to turn defeat into victory, unless he has the ability to reach the sky!
"Okay, I promise you, but what if you lose?"
The old man readily agreed, but this question stumped Ye Tian.
Ye Tian only cared about letting the old man put on his head, but he forgot that he didn't seem to have a bet that he could make.
But he is not an ordinary person after all, his old face is horizontal, and he said confidently: "I can't lose!" ”
Such an answer made the old man almost suffocate his internal injuries.
This is clearly a scoundrel!
Fortunately, the old man has a good cultivation, endured his temper, and the corners of his mouth twitched: "What a big breath, that old man can be taught and taught!" ”
Seeing that the conspiracy had succeeded, Ye Tian stretched out his big hand: "Please!" ”
The old man looked serious, and then raised his hand to settle down and put a white piece into the chessboard.
Ye Tian couldn't help but be a little surprised when he saw the old man's position, this old man had some ability.
But in his eyes, this was far from enough, so he hurriedly picked up a piece from the chessboard and threw it into the chessboard.
The old man was not surprised by Ye Tianluozi's position, he had been studying this game of chess for a long time, and a variety of remedies for sunspots had been deduced, and Ye Tian's hand had also been thought of, but it didn't work.
This move alone disappointed the old man, who thought that Ye Tian really had a unique view of this game of chess, but now it seems that it is just the golden mean.
"Young man, far water can't quench your thirst, you're just dying!"
Ye Tian smiled, moved two chess pieces back and forth in his hand, and said indifferently: "There must be a road before the car reaches the mountain, and the willows and flowers are bright and another village." ”
"You can see it, but procrastination is not the way, every time you fall into action, it is just a step closer to your desperate situation!"
Ye Tian's expression was leisurely, he didn't take the old man's preaching to heart, and asked: "If you don't have the consciousness of being in trouble, how can you talk about living in a desperate situation?" ”
The old man laughed, he now had some appreciation for Ye Tian's calm appearance of talking and laughing, if Ye Tian didn't use his brains in front of him before, but asked for advice in a down-to-earth manner, he might help.
But now that the bet has been decided, it depends on whether Ye Tian has the ability to satisfy him!
Time gradually passed, and the smile on the old man's face became even brighter, although Ye Tian had a few unexpected chess moves during the period, but they were also resolved by him in time.
"Young man, if you play like this, it's only a matter of time before you lose!"
"Old man, do you know that you are going to lose, and play psychological warfare with me?"
The old man laughed softly: "You are also quite powerful if you can play this game of chess to this extent, but you have no chance of winning this game!" ”
"I don't blame you, this game of chess has already been set at the time of play, it is not easy for you to delay for so long, otherwise how about we start the game again?"
"Of course, the agreement between you and me is still valid!"
After more than ten rounds of games, the old man already had a new understanding of Ye Tian.
He felt that Ye Tian had a calm heart, a unique vision, and good chess skills, but he loved to use his brain, if he was adjusted, he would be a good seedling for chess.
Ye Tian touched his nose and didn't look at the old man, then fell into a chess game, and said with an evil smile: "Don't worry, old man, the show has just begun!" ”
The old man didn't care at first, thinking that Ye Tian just had strong self-esteem and was unwilling to admit defeat.
"Wonderful!"
After thinking hard for a long time, the old man clapped his hands and said: "Young man, I really underestimate you, but I didn't expect that your procrastination at every step is setting up a bigger game!" ”
The old man's expression was solemn, and in a short period of time, he actually let Ye Tian set out a counterattack formation, and he didn't dare to take it lightly, and thought carefully for a moment before dropping the chess pieces.
"Old man, you played chess well, you can see the key points at a glance."
Ye Tian smiled, gave the old man a thumbs up, pondered for a moment, and then fell again.
The old man was very depressed, he has always evaluated others, today the feng shui is in turn, and he was actually praised by a hairy boy!
This feeling is very bad, but now that the situation is reversed, he can't be distracted and think of anything else, he can only think of a way to solve it.
In this way, the two of them went back and forth, and they fought each other for more than ten rounds.
During this period, the old man's eyebrows became deeper and deeper, but Ye Tian's expression became more and more comfortable.
In the end, it was Ye Tian urging, and the old man was undecided.
"Old man, have you thought about it?"
Ye Tian crossed his legs, fiddling with the bonsai branches placed on the table in his hands, and grinned: "Time waits for no one!" ”
The old man held the chess pieces, his face was bitter, and he looked at the chessboard dryly, not playing, not playing, looking very twisted!
In the end, the old man did not drop the chess pieces, but put them back in the chess cup, and sighed helplessly: "I lost ......"
