Volume 1 Sage Academy Chapter 10 Yin and Yang War Chess
The students rushed to the Spring Maple Forest, and I don't know when, many teenagers in white power suits appeared around the team, observing the students in the team from time to time.
"Are those the protΓ©gΓ©s of the Sage Academy?" Zhou Ping asked Chu Ci in a low voice.
Chu Ci nodded, "They are the group of students recruited by the Sage Academy two years ago, and it is estimated that they will also supervise them in the next assessment." β
Looking at those high-spirited teenagers, Zhou Ping smiled, and his heart was infinitely yearning.
Spring Maple Forest, according to rumors, was the retreat place of a certain great sage who realized the immortal path back then. Legend has it that the great sage realized the way of the birth of all things in the spring maple forest, and after ten years of enlightenment, the maple leaves in the forest only fall in early spring, but sprout in autumn, which is a great spectacle around Kyoto Castle.
Looking at the slowly falling maple leaves, Zhou Ping was a little distracted for a while.
Holy Master Gu Yuan nodded at the white-clothed students, and the students immediately understood, scattered around, and handed out wooden cards to everyone one by one.
Zhou Ping received the wooden card and respectfully saluted the white-clothed student, the man nodded, didn't pay too much attention to it, turned his head and went to distribute the wooden card elsewhere.
The wooden card starts, a little warm, and after a while, the wooden card gradually turns into pure white, and the wooden card at this time feels more like a warm white jade to Zhou Ping.
After the wooden cards were distributed, Gu Yuan slowly opened his eyes and said softly, "Clean it up." β
Many students in white were ordered to immediately check the wooden signs in the crowd one by one.
Chu Ci walked up to Zhou Ping with the light blue wooden plaque in his hand and explained to him, "This is a special wooden plaque in the Sage Academy, which can identify the soul species and age, if it does not meet the standard, the wooden plaque will turn black, and it will be cleaned up immediately." β
Sure enough, the crowd soon became noisy, Gu Yuan still looked lazy, but the means were resolute, and hundreds of unqualified fishers in troubled waters were immediately driven out.
After all the dust settled, Gu Yuan slowly opened the scroll in his hand, raised it high, and said loudly, "This year's test question ---- Yin Yang War Chess!"
"Heaven and earth are divided, yin and yang come first, everything begins with yin and yang, and today my Sage Academy will use yin and yang as the theme to test all students. β
Many students looked at each other, all things yin and yang? This thing has only heard of it, so how can it be about yin and yang?
Gu Yuan waved his hand and signaled everyone to be calm and not impatient, "Students, don't worry, wait for the old man to explain the rules of this Yin and Yang War Chess Test!"
"The wooden cards in your hands are divided into two kinds of yin and yang, after the official start of the big test, the wooden cards will show the text, the wooden cards in the hands of the word yin, it is the yin chess, the word is yang, it is the yang chess. β
"The test lasts for a total of twelve hours, and tomorrow is the end of the test. During these twelve hours, the yang can capture the wooden card of the yin chess, and at the end of the day, the yang chess that has obtained the wooden card of the yin chess is considered to have passed. Yin chess keeps its wooden cards from being taken by yang chess during the big test, and it is considered to have passed at the end of the day. β
"The test site is this spring maple forest, and those who go out of the realm are considered to be out!
With that, Gu Yuan let go of the entrance of the Spring Maple Forest and motioned for many students to enter it immediately.
Thousands of students all looked at their wooden cards, curious and a little apprehensive about their identity.
Just now, Master Gu Yuan has made the rules very clear, this big test is a cat and mouse game, Yang Qi is a predator, and he will hunt down Yin Qi in this dense maple forest, and Yin Qi is the prey, and there is only a share of running around, so everyone is silently praying, hoping that they will get a share of Yang Qi wooden cards.
Many students walked towards the maple forest one after another, but at this time, a voice came from behind them.
"Just now, Saint Master Gu Yuan forgot to tell you a sentence, so I will convey it on my behalf. β
A young man in a white suit stood at the top of the highest maple tree in the maple forest, letting the spring breeze blow away the maple leaves, he remained independent of the top of the branches and remained motionless.
Zhou Ping raised his head to look at him with everyone, but the sunlight was too dazzling, and no one could see this person's face clearly.
"In this big test, my Sage Academy only accepts 300 students, please work together!"
His words were like a thunderbolt, instantly making the students in the audience not calm, the number of students enrolled in the previous Sage Academy has never been less than five hundred, why did it drop so much this time?
Seeing the shouting crowd gradually disappearing from view, the corner of the white-clothed young man's mouth hooked up a smile, looking at the backs of Zhou Ping and Chu Ci in the crowd from a distance, and muttered, "Two little guys, I wish you good luck." β
The nearly 1,000 students who entered the maple forest immediately scattered and hid themselves, after all, the wooden cards would not appear until the hour of the hour, and everyone would find a place to hide them first, after all, no one could guarantee that they were not Yin chess.
The waiting time is always extraordinarily long, and the scorching sun of early spring finally hangs high in the sky, and the wooden signs of the students have begun to change. Streamers of light wander on the wooden signs, outlining the words hidden under the wooden signs.
"Zhou Ping Zhou Ping, I'm Yang Qi, so I don't have to worry about it this time. Chu Ci wiped the sweat from his forehead, grinned and asked, "What kind of chess are you?"
Zhou Ping frowned slightly when he saw the words on the wooden card, but he still handed over his wooden card to Chu Ci without the slightest hesitation.
Chu Ci took the wooden card, his eyes immediately widened, and he exclaimed, "You are actually Yin Qi?"
Zhou Ping immediately stretched out his hand to cover Chu Ci's mouth, and said with a wry smile, "My little aunt, you can be quiet, for fear that others won't know that I am Yin Qi!"
Chu Ci, who realized that he had lost his words, immediately closed his mouth, and then looked around cautiously.
Zhou Ping leaned against a maple tree, gently closed his eyes, and felt the spring breeze blowing slightly on his face, and the fallen leaves quietly sliding beside him.
To be honest, after learning that his identity was Yin Qi, Zhou Ping's heart was indeed a little uneasy, because in the entire big test rules, Yin Qi was completely the prey of being hunted and killed, and he was too passive as Yin Qi.
Chu Ci saw Zhou Ping's serious thinking, and he actually quieted down for the first time, standing aside in a daze, looking at Zhou Ping's slightly angular face although he was immature.
"I don't think it's going to be that easy. "Chu Ci said firmly, "There are only two ways to pass the big test, either to get the yang chess of the yin chess wooden card, or to keep the yin chess to the end, so the final pass of the big test has nothing to do with the yang chess, as long as there is a yin chess wooden card in the hand!"
Zhou Ping opened his eyes, Chu Ci's words really made him suddenly realize, and he recalled in his mind what the white-clothed senior brother had said before they left.
"In the end, the Sage Academy only enrolled 300 people. Zhou Ping narrowed his eyes and muttered, "That means that there are only three hundred Yin chess." β
Chu Ci stood on tiptoe and patted Zhou Ping's head, which was much taller than her, and pretended to smile with relief, "I didn't expect that you, this elm head, are also enlightened, and you are worthy of being my little brother of Miss Chu." β
Zhou Ping rolled his eyes in tears, but one thing was true, since the breakthrough in the Celestial Wonders in Kyoto, his head seemed to have become more bright, and he was no longer as silly and silly all day long as before.
He looked up at the round sun hanging high in the sky. Yang chess is the predator, and yin chess is the hidden, which is just like the common sense of heaven and earth, which is yang under the light of the sky, and yin is hidden in the private darkness.
The red maple leaves were swaying in the treetops, and the sunlight crossed the barriers, carving mottled shades on the ground, and Zhou Ping squatted on the ground, thoughtful.
"You wait here, hide yourself, don't be abducted!" Chu Ci touched Zhou Ping's ear and grinned, "I'll go out and find another Yin Chess, and we will be able to pass the test steadily!"
"Wait a minute!"
Zhou Ping stood up and smiled slightly, "There are only three hundred Yin chess in total, and we have nearly a thousand people in this big test, and the enemy you have to face is not just Yin Qi." β
"The shadows of the trees are intertwined, yin and yang are intertwined, yin is yang, and yang is yin. β
"The faster I run, the farther I hide, the more people want to hunt me, what if I expose this Yin chess to the sun?"
This big test is not a hunt, and Yin chess is definitely not a lamb to the slaughter that ordinary people imagine!
