Chapter 248: The Shining White Child
Egret City, too illusory realm, a ring with a big wooden brand of B number, has been surrounded by a crowd at this time. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
Today, among the many rings set up by the Nine Heavens Alliance in Egret City, this one is the most spectacular, not to mention the number of people, and the appearance of the ring is also different from other places.
Most of the other rings are high platforms made of rocks, but this one is like a small courtyard without walls, and on the grassy grass in the middle of the courtyard, there are simply two stools, a table, a chessboard, two boxes of chess pieces, and two cups of tea.
If it weren't for the big banyan tree in the courtyard, there was a big wooden sign printed with the Jiuxiao logo and the word "B", I'm afraid no one would think that this was a ring.
"Old Yu, if you ...... today? Then Mr. Li Bai, what if you don't come?"
At the entrance of the courtyard of the ring, a nine-sky attendant suddenly approached a hunchbacked old man and whispered.
And so on. ”
The hunchbacked old man spat out a word with a calm face.
"This ...... It's not good, my reputation is ......."
The attendant said with a frown.
The hunchbacked old man didn't speak, but just turned his head and glanced coldly at the attendant, who immediately shuddered and said:
"I, I'll go and see if Mr. Li Bai is here. ”
The squire fled.
Glancing at the departing squire, the hunchbacked old man tucked his hands into his cuffs, then turned his head to glance at the onlookers outside the barrier who had gradually begun to make some commotion.
"I hope I didn't misread you. ”
The hunchbacked old man retracted his gaze and muttered to himself with a blank expression.
This hunchbacked old man's name is Yu Tiangan, and the people of Jiuxiao call him Yu Lao, this Yu Lao is the person in charge of Jiuxiao in Egret City.
At the beginning, Li Yunsheng broke through the realm twice in a row in the too illusory realm, and defeated his opponent Qiu Laosan cleanly, which made the hunchbacked old man's eyes shine.
However, after that time, Li Yunsheng did not come to participate in the competition in the ring for a long time, but made a lot of noise on the side of the Rotten Ke Academy.
It wasn't until a month ago that this Yu Tiangan met Li Yunsheng again, to be precise, Li Yunsheng deliberately found Yu Tiangan.
And Yu Tiangan was also startled when he heard Li Yunsheng's intention.
Because the young man with the pseudonym Li Bai told him that he was going to challenge the people who played chess all over the world, and then asked him if he could let Jiuxiao set up a ring for him.
It is not uncommon for Jiuxiao to play chess as a way to compete, but it is definitely the first time in Egret City.
Yu Tiangan still remembered the question he asked the young man named Li Bai at that time:
"What do you think you have a chance of winning?"
And the boy told him very calmly: "Ninety percent." ”
Yu Tiangan was taken aback, he also played chess in his spare time, and everyone who played chess knew what it was to face the winning rate of ninety percent of all the people who played chess in the ten states.
Although he had a good impression of the boy, the answer of a ninety percent win rate still made him feel a little arrogant.
But in the same way, Li Yunsheng's answer made him see a business opportunity, a teenager claimed that he had a ninety percent chance of winning against those who played chess in ten states, which in itself was an excellent selling point.
So although he felt that Li Yunsheng was a little arrogant, Yu Tiangan still agreed to Li Yunsheng and helped him set up this ring in the name of Jiuxiao.
Originally, Yu Tiangan was not too sad about this matter, but the development of events in the next nearly a month caught him a little off guard.
This young man named Li Bai has never lost a game since the first game of chess!
This winning rate is even far more than he said ninety percent, although the disciples of the Rotten Ke Chess Academy did not participate, but Yu Tiangan learned through some special means that the chess players who have challenged Li Yunsheng this month, at least ten of them have entered the Rotten Ke list, and even one or two are still on the Rotten Ke list.
But in the face of these people, this young man named Li Bai still won as if he was crushing.
And the death of the chess idiot Cao Yeming made the development of this matter really beyond Yu Tiangan's control.
Originally, the ring was just set up out of a little personal affection, but suddenly it began to attract the attention of the entire ten states, and this time even the leader of the Nine Heavens Alliance personally asked people to bring a message to Yu Tiangan, and he must do a good job in this matter.
This was a surprise for Yu Tiangan, because he didn't have to think about it, he also knew that as long as this matter was done well and Jiuxiao's name was launched, it wouldn't be long before he could leave the small place of Egret City.
So the original small ring has become today's somewhat exaggerated appearance.
It's just that the luxurious ring has been set up, but Li Bairen has disappeared, which makes Yu Tiangan only feel a little bitter.
Fortunately, he is not a person who cares so much about gains and losses, and even he will feel that this young man named Li Bai is not right, if this Li Bai has some background, if he has no background, I am afraid that the next situation will be difficult for him to end, after all, it is no longer the original ordinary people who will challenge him from now on, for these people, it will not end well if they lose or win.
"Is this how you Jiuxiao made the guests wait?"
"It's been three days, then Li Bai won't come again, you Jiuxiao must give us an explanation!"
Finally, outside the barrier, someone got impatient and began to shout.
Yu Tiangan glanced at the crowd and didn't speak, but thought in his heart:
"If you don't come today, we'll end the ring. ”
Money is still second, this time Jiuxiao's investment is not much, but it may ruin the reputation, after all, let the world see the joke.
"Yu Lao! Yu Lao! This way, this way!"
Suddenly, a familiar voice came from the crowd in the stands outside the barrier.
He looked up with some surprise and found that an inconspicuous young man was desperately waving at him in the crowd, and this person was Li Bai who had made him wait for a long time.
Seeing this, he didn't ask anything more, walked directly to the side of the enchantment, and then pulled Li Yunsheng up from the crowd through the ring.
"You're finally here. ”
Pulling Li Yunsheng into the enchantment, Yu Tiangan smiled with a hint of joy.
"Why are there so many people today?"
Li Yunsheng touched the sweat on his forehead and asked confusedly.
After he came to the Illusory Realm, he originally wanted to walk directly to the ring along the familiar road, but he didn't expect that the originally simple ring suddenly changed greatly, and the surrounding area of the ring was surrounded by water, and he squeezed in after squeezing the old days.
"You don't know yet?"
Yu Tiangan asked with a wry smile.
"Know what?"
Li Yunsheng looked puzzled.
"I have something at home these days, and I haven't been able to come over, and I don't have time to inquire about the news outside. ”
He added.
If Yu Tiangan knew that there had been a cloud of "ascending clouds" hanging over Li Yunsheng's "home" these days, he would definitely understand why Li Yunsheng couldn't hear the news from the outside.
Said as he walked. ”
He pulled Li Yunsheng to the edge of the chessboard in the ring.
"It turns out that the person named Cao Yeming is really Cao Yeming, a chess addict from Changzhou. ”
Listening to Yu Tiangan's words, Li Yunsheng's face was full of surprise.
"It's a pity, he's actually very good. ”
He shook his head and said with a look of pity.
Seeing this, Yu Tiangan smiled bitterly and said in his heart: "What's the use of you saying this now." ”
"So many people are waiting for you, you can say a few words, and we'll start after that. ”
He glanced at Li Yunsheng and said.
"Say a few words......"
Looking at the black head below, Li Yunsheng was stunned.
After hesitating for a moment, he still walked to the center of the ring and bowed to everyone in the ring and said:
"I'm Li Yun...... Li Bai! I've kept you waiting. ”
Many of the people below had never seen Li Yunsheng, and they were a little suspicious just when they saw Li Yunsheng whispering to Yu Tiangan, and at this time, Li Yunsheng stood up and confirmed that he was Li Bai, and the audience was immediately in an uproar.
Immediately, the spies of various state families lurking in the crowd began to spread the word to the family.
For a while, many places outside the Illusory Realm in the Ten States Immortal Mansion began to be lively.
One after another, the news came back to the chess academies, the academies, and the ears of people who paid attention to this matter.
After waiting for three days, Li Bai, who played chess and died chess addict Cao Yeming, finally came back.
In the courtyard of Changzhou Luchai Academy, Xu Youyou came out of the too illusory realm again, she looked at her grandfather Xu Shen with an anxious face and said, "Here, the one named Li Bai is here." ”
Hearing this, Xu Shen let out a long breath, and then with a wave of his hand, a streamer flashed in the courtyard, and a formation enchantment was erected in the courtyard.
"Yoyo, we should be the last to play, don't rush in first, rest for a while, and when you play chess later, you must remember not to read the wrong position. ”
I saw Xu Shen sitting on the edge of the chessboard with a serious face.
"Come, I'll give you a true yuan first, and then the Jiuxiao will definitely arrange an enchantment to prevent you and me from transmitting the sound, and then my true yuan will help you break the enchantment." ”
He pressed a finger to Xu Youyou's forehead.
"Hmm. ”
Xu Youyou nodded obediently.
Grandpa's appearance as if he was facing a great enemy, it was the first time he had seen it.
At the same time, in a chess courtyard in Fenglinzhou, a group of people were sitting on the edge of a chessboard with a grim expression.
"There's no one out there. ”
A middle-aged man asked in a deep voice.
"Master Lou, don't worry, in addition to the enchantment I laid outside, there are at least three guards, and no outsiders will come in. ”
A somewhat harsh voice replied respectfully.
"I just got the news, that Li Bai has returned to the too illusory realm, the chess game in the ring continues today, and I passed Jiuxiao's friend to qualify for this challenge, ranking third in the order. ”
The middle-aged man known as Master Lou said in a deep voice.
"Master Lou rest assured, the four of us have been studying this Li Bai's chess game for nearly half a month, and we can solve the chess with the strength of the four of us, as long as Young Master Lou can accurately inform us of the direction of the falling words, we will never lose the chess." ”
Next to the middle-aged man, a long-faced man said confidently with the corners of his mouth curled.
Hearing this, the other three people sitting on the left and right sides of the chessboard nodded their heads in agreement.
"Gu'er. ”
The middle-aged man looked up and glanced at the young man sitting across from him with some dissatisfaction.
"Dad, don't worry. ”
The boy took a bunch of grapes on the table, raised his head and took a few bites, and began to chew heavily.
"That kid, can one person be better than the six of us?"
He said with a mouth full of grapes.
"You give me a little serious!"
The middle-aged man snatched the grapes from the man's hand.
"I've already gotten the news, those old immortals of the Rotten Ke Chess Academy have specially gone to the Illusory Realm this time, as long as you win this game, you will definitely be invited to enter the Rotten Ke Chess Academy this year, the secret of the Rotten Ke Chess Academy, as long as my Lou family can get one of them, they will definitely make a fortune from this! Even if you can't get the secret treasure, my Lou family's reputation in Fenglin Continent will definitely double. ”
He warned the boy.
"I know, Dad, don't worry, as long as you can get the Nine Heavens Barrier and let me and your transmission be unimpeded, I'll leave the rest to me. ”
The boy clapped his hands and said with a smirk.
"Don't worry about this, the Zixu Stone you used this time was specially made by someone I found to crack the barrier that prevented the transmission of sound in Jiuxiao. ”
The middle-aged man said confidently.
"That's good, look at how I humiliated that kid this time, I actually dared to be arrogant enough to challenge the chess players of the ten states. ”
The young man stretched out with a smug face.
"I'm really low-key compared to him, right, Daddy. ”
He raised an eyebrow at the middle-aged man.
"Stop talking nonsense, let's go inside!"
The middle-aged man was speechless and gave him a blank look.
Compared with the disturbances outside, Li Yunsheng seemed unusually calm, no different from the past.
After he finished speaking, he walked back to the chessboard and sat down, quietly waiting for the first challenge.
"I'm okay, old Yu. ”
He glanced at Yu Tiangan.
Old Yu nodded to him with a smile, then walked to the front of the ring and shouted at the audience:
"You have been waiting for a long time, the first person to challenge Mr. Li Bai today is Gou Junyu from Xuanzhou. ”
The people who challenge Li Yunsheng every day are all set by Jiuxiao, which is also one of the conditions for Jiuxiao to promise Li Yunsheng to gamble for him.
Li Yunsheng actually doesn't care about this at all, not because he thinks he won't lose, but because he has played with the top 20 people on the bad list, and he thinks that no matter how much he loses, he will lose to these 20 people, and he will not meet these people every day.
Although Li Yunsheng's face was as usual when he heard this Gou Junyu's name, there was an uproar again in the stands.
Everyone didn't expect that after three days, the first game would be so exciting.
Because this Gou Junyu is also well-known in the ten states, he once climbed into the top 30 of the Rotten Ke List, so many people know this name.
Because Jiuxiao's attendants had communicated in advance, this Gou Junyu was not squeezed from the crowd of stands like Li Yunsheng, but walked easily to the chessboard from the entrance set up by Jiuxiao.
Seeing Gou Junyu coming over, Li Yunsheng just wanted to stand up to greet him, but was stopped by Gou Junyu raising his hand.
"Mr. Li Bai doesn't have to get up. ”
This Gou Junyu looked very polite, and his slightly soft voice did not match his rough and vicious appearance at all.
"Sir, I don't look like this in reality. ”
It seemed that he saw the strange look on Li Yunsheng's face, and while sitting down, he touched his face awkwardly and said.
"Where, it won't. ”
Li Yunsheng shook his head.
"I've seen my husband play chess before, and it's been very exciting. ”
Gou Junyu said with respect, but this respect was slightly incongruous on his rugged and vicious face.
"Thank you. ”
Li Yunsheng nodded.
"The game was played for an hour and a half. ”
Yu Lao walked to the edge of the chessboard, and then placed the two hourglasses next to the two of them.
This hourglass is used for timing, the game starts with the black side of the hourglass falls first, until the hourglass of the falling piece will automatically stop, and then the hourglass of the white side begins to flow, until the white side of the game falls, and then the cycle will be repeated.
"I feel that I can't beat Sir, how about Sir let me take the lead?"
Gou Junyu looked like a daughter's house, his eyes wandered, and he asked expectantly.
"No, I don't think so. ”
This very discordant appearance made Li Yunsheng chuckle in his heart.
"Let's guess first. ”
He grabbed a handful from the chess box.
"Humph......"
That Gou Junyu pursed his lips, and then pinched Li Yunsheng's hand with a "complaining" face.
Li Yunsheng only felt a thrill all over his body, and quickly withdrew his hand.
Not only Li Yunsheng, but even the spectators in the ring have mixed feelings in their hearts.
"Is this Gou Junyu a man or a woman, why is it so disgusting. ”
Someone asked.
"Some people say he's a woman, others say he's a man, and not many people have seen him in reality. ”
Someone laughed.
"Guest, don't waste time. ”
At this time, Yu Lao walked over and looked at Gou Junyu with a serious face.
"Okay, okay, guess first, let's guess first, long-winded......"
Gou Junyu glanced at Li Yunsheng complainingly.
And Li Yunsheng looked at Yu Lao and smiled bitterly.
guessed that the first result was that Li Yunsheng was white, and Gou Junyu was black, so this Gou Junyu was cheering again, and he didn't stop until Yu Lao stopped him again.
"Tsk, I was right, it's a little kid. ”
Seeing the impatience that flashed in Li Yunsheng's eyes, this Gou Junyu sneered in his heart, thinking that this kid was finally disturbed by himself.
"Gee, this step doesn't seem to be good here. ”
He continued his plan to disturb the other party's mind.
"Smack!"
Just when he thought that Li Yunsheng would become more and more impatient next, a white seed fell on the chessboard with a snap like a flickering light.
"Yo, Mr. Li Bai is so scared, why is he so scared, he scared me to death......"
He complained in a "soft" tone.
This sound made everyone outside the arena feel frightened again.
"Smack!"
And Li Yunsheng, who was on the other side of the chessboard, responded to Gou Junyu as a son who seemed to be unthinking.
"This kid ......"
Gou Junyu found Li Bai in front of him, but instead of being disturbed by him, his eyes were unusually clear.
"Mr. Li Bai is really anxious!"
"Smack!"
Gou Junyu said as he fell, his voice was even more "charming".
But before he finished speaking, a shining white seed fell on the chessboard again with a "pop".
For a while, he had a long mouth and couldn't say a word.
He only felt that an invisible momentum was surging from Li Bai on the opposite side, and he felt a feeling of being out of breath.
"It's your turn. ”
The opposite side did not fall for a long time, Li Yunsheng raised his head and glanced at Gou Junyu with a cold look.
Gou Junyu was stunned by this look, and then quickly pinched out a white piece from the chess box and put it on the chessboard.
And almost at the same time as he landed, there was a "snap" again, and a white piece fell on the chessboard.
This time, Gou Junyu was completely speechless, and an unprecedented sense of oppression seemed to choke his neck.
Not only Gou Junyu, but even the audience outside the arena were inexplicably quiet at this time, and they seemed to feel the momentum emanating from Li Yunsheng.
They had even forgotten to look at the chess game projected on a large chessboard in the void overhead.
And the next game turned into a chase battle.
No matter how fast Gou Junyu played, Li Yunsheng's chess always fell close behind, and it looked as if he had not thought about it at all.
Gou Junyu, who had been talking a lot before, almost didn't even have time to open his mouth at this time, and beads of sweat the size of beans rolled down on the chessboard on his forehead.
"Is this kid messing around?"
Some people who didn't know chess and just came to join in the fun, looked at Li Yunsheng's quick fall and asked curiously.
"If you don't understand, don't talk nonsense. ”
His companion next to him immediately gave him a blank look.
"From beginning to end, this white piece is playing against the black piece. ”
He said with admiration:
"I used to think this person was bragging, but I didn't expect it to be really powerful. ”
"If it's so fast, there will definitely be flaws, this Gou Junyu is not a waste, it's still a long time, take your time. ”
Another onlooker was a little unimpressed.
However, not long after he finished speaking, Gou Junyu lowered his head, and then threw the chess pieces in his hand into the chess box with a dejected expression.
"I lost. ”
He raised his head and said with a look of unwillingness.
This time, his voice and eyes were normal.
"Who are you?"
He stared at Li Yunsheng and asked.
"Li Bai. ”
Li Yunsheng raised his head and glanced at Gou Junyu with an indifferent expression.
"Old Yu, next. ”
After speaking, he turned his head to look at Yu Lao Dao.
Gou Junyu lost.
The crowd under the ring only reacted at this time, they didn't expect that this Gou Junyu would lose without even holding it for half an hour, and the spectator who said that Li Yun would be flawed so soon was out of the crowd at this time.
At the same time, outside the too illusory realm, Xu Shen listened to the chess path dictated by his granddaughter Xu Youyou, and at the same time fell behind the last son.
"Why did Gou Junyu cast so quickly, there are obviously a lot of places to fight for. ”
Xu Youyou said to Xu Shen in confusion.
"Because Gou Junyu himself played well, he had already judged his defeat, so he honestly voted. ”
Xu Shen smiled while reminiscing about this game of chess.
"Then grandpa, do you think he lost too?"
Xu Youyou continued to ask.
"Defeated. ”
Xu Shen simply said two words.
"Yoyo, you can rest for a while, you don't have to repeat the game to me in the next game. ”
"Why?"
"Because Li Bai's opponent in the next game is very weak. ”
"Oh, okay. ”
At the same time, the Lou family of Fenglinzhou had also learned the news of Gou Junyu's loss.
"I didn't expect this Gou Junyu to lose so quickly. ”
The head of the Lou family frowned.
"I originally wanted him to consume more of Li Bai's mind. ”
He said with a sad face.
"Master Lou, don't worry, this Gou Junyu's recent chess strength is not as good as before, and Li Bai is average in this game of chess, if it is this kind of chess, there is no need for the four of me to join forces to deal with it. ”
A chess player sitting next to the head of the Lou family sneered.
"With your words, I am relieved. ”
The head of the Lou family breathed a sigh of relief.
"Who's his next opponent?"
He then asked.
"Don't worry. ”
It was the chess master who answered him.
"I often don't worry about it, I inquired about it, the chess strength is far inferior to Gou Junyu, I'm afraid he can't stop that Li Bai, but the next game of Xu Wei shouldn't be simple. ”
Another chess master said.
"Who is it?"
The head of the Lou family asked.
"The first genius in Changzhou, poetry mad Xu Wei. ”
The chess master replied.
