When I got closer, I saw a big stone between the two people who were sitting, and there was a chessboard on it, and the two were playing against each other. On the right is a short, thin, shriveled old man, and on the left is a young man. Li Laoqian recognized that the son was Lu Qian, and the boss in his heart was bored, thinking:

"I have always been very rude to this kid, but today Lao Tzu's unlucky appearance has been shown to him, and this kid will definitely make a mockery. ”

But seeing that the chessboard was carved on a large bluestone, the blacks and whites were all shining, and each side had made more than a hundred pieces. Ding Mohan slowly approached the game. The short old man threw a black man, and suddenly his eyebrows furrowed, as if he saw a strange and urgent change in the chess game.

Lu Qian held a white child in his hand, and before he could finish his groaning, Li Laoqian shouted: "Hey, the kid surnamed Lu, you have lost, so let's admit defeat together with his brother and brother." The three of them behind Lu Qian turned their heads and glared angrily, it was Zhang Cunxiao and the other three guards.

Suddenly, Kang Guangling, Fan Bailing and other eight friends in Guanzhong struggled up from the rope net one by one, walked to the place where they were away from the bluestone chessboard, and knelt down together.

Li Laoqian was taken aback and said, "What the hell?" As soon as the four words were spoken, he immediately realized that this thin and dry old man was the deaf and dumb old man "Mr. Lingli", that is, the master of Kang Guangling and other eight friends in Guanzhong.

But he is Ding Mohan's sworn enemy, when the strong feud comes, how can he still play chess with others in his spare time? And the opponent is not an important foot, just a nerd who doesn't know martial arts?

Kang Guangling said: "Your old man is better than in the past, and the eight of us are infinitely happy." "Guanzhong Bayou was expelled from the division by Mr. Jiang Bancheng, and he didn't dare to be called a master and apprentice anymore. Fan Bailing said: "Shaolin sent Master Huikong to see that your old man is here." ”

Jiang Bancheng stood up, looked deeply at everyone, and said: "Master Huikong has arrived, the old Jiang Bancheng has lost its welcome, and the crime is very great, the crime is very great!" glanced at everyone, and then turned his head to look at the chess game.

Everyone had heard Xue Muhua say that his master was forced to pretend to be deaf and dumb, but at this moment, he actually opened his mouth to speak, and he was determined to fight Ding Mohan to the death. Kang Guangling, Xue Muhua and the others couldn't help but look at Ding Mohan, both excited and worried.

Huikong said: "It's easy to say, it's easy to say!" Seeing that Jiang Bancheng attached so much importance to this game of chess, he thought: "This person has too many chores, calligraphy, painting, piano and chess, everything is bad, no wonder his martial arts are not as good as his junior brother." ”

In silence, Lu Qian suddenly said, "Okay, just play like this!" and said and put a white piece on the chessboard. Jiang Bancheng's face was happy, nodded, as if commended, and played a sunspot, Lu Qian had already figured out more than ten chess pieces, and then played a white piece, Jiang Bancheng placed another sunspot, and the two of them played more than ten times, Lu Qian let out a long breath, shook his head and said: "The old gentleman's Zhenlong is extremely profound and ingenious, and he can't crack it in his later life." ”

Seeing that Jiang Bancheng had won, a miserable look appeared on his face, and he said: "Childe's chess thinking is precise, these dozen chess moves have reached a very high level, but I can't think about it one step deeper, it's a pity, it's a pity." Alas, alas, alas!"

He said "pity" four times in a row, and his regret was indeed very deep. Lu Qian picked up more than ten white pieces from the chessboard and put them in the wooden box. Jiang Bancheng also picked up more than ten sunspots. The original position of the chess game is still retained.

Lu Qian retreated to the side, looking at the chess game in a daze: "This Zhenlong is what I saw in the Moon Cliff Stone Cave that day. This clever gentleman must have a great relationship with the mother-in-law in the cave, and when he is ready, he must ask him quietly, but he must not let others hear.

Otherwise, everyone will flock to see the fairy sister, wouldn't they blaspheme her?" Fan Bailing, the second disciple of the Eight Friends of Guanzhong, was a chess fan, looking at the chess game from afar, and knew that it was not the "master" who played against the young man, but the "master" laid a "Zhenlong", and the young man tried to crack it, but he couldn't crack it.

He knelt on the ground and couldn't see clearly, so he raised his knees and stretched his neck to see clearly.

Jiang Bancheng said: "You all get up! Bai Ling, this 'Zhenlong' is extremely involved, you come over and take a good look, if you can crack it, it will be a great thing." ”

Fan Bailing was overjoyed and responded, "Yes!" stood up, walked to the chessboard, and looked at it intently.

Deng Baichuan asked in a low voice: "Second brother, what is 'Zhenlong'?" Gongye Qian also said in a low voice: "'Zhenlong' is a problem in Go. It was a person who deliberately put on a difficult position, not a situation that two people played against each other, so it is often extremely difficult to calculate whether it is born or calamitous. ”

Ordinary "Zhenlong" has less than ten sons, and most of them are only forty or fifty sons, but this one has more than 200 sons, and a game of chess has been played nearly to the end. Gongye Qian's knowledge of this way is limited, and he doesn't understand it after reading it for a while, so he doesn't read it.

Fan Bailing has studied Go for decades, and he is really a master of this way, seeing that there is a catastrophe in this game of chess, there is both co-living and immortality, or counterattacking, or retracting qi, spending five and six, which is extremely complicated. When he watched the film again, he suddenly felt dizzy and his head was swollen, and he only counted the life and death of a small white chess piece in the lower right corner, and he felt the blood in his chest surging.

He fixed his mind, and counted it again for the second time, and found that he originally thought that this piece of white chess was dead, but in fact, there was a way to live, but to kill a piece of black chess next to him, there were a lot of involved, and after a few more calculations, suddenly there was a pitch black in front of him, a sweet throat, and a large mouthful of blood spurted out.

Jiang Bancheng looked at him coldly and said: "This game of chess is extremely difficult, your talent is limited, although your chess strength is not weak, but most of them can't be solved, not to mention that there is Ding Mohan, a thief, who is performing evil magic beside him, charming and terrifying, it is really dangerous, do you want to go down, or don't you want to?" Fan Bailing said: "Life and death are fate, brother...... I......

I...... Determined to do your best. Jiang Bancheng nodded and said, "Then you think about it slowly." ”

Fan Bailing stared at the chess game, his body staggered, and he sprayed a mouthful of blood.

Ding Mo smiled coldly: "Why bother to give your life in vain? This old thief laid down the mechanism was originally used to torture, kill and injure people, Fan Bailing, you call it self-casting." ”

Jiang Bancheng squinted at him and said, "What do you call the master?" Ding Mohan said: "He is an old thief, I will call him an old thief!" Jiang Bancheng said: "The deaf and dumb old man is not deaf or dumb today, you must know the reason." Ding Mohan said: "Wonderful!

You have broken your oath because you want to die, and you must blame me. ”。

Jiang Bancheng casually lifted a large stone beside him, placed it beside Huikong, and said, "Master, please take a seat." ”

Hui Kong saw that this boulder was not worried about two hundred catties, Jiang Bancheng was such a dry and short old man, his whole body may not weigh eighty catties, but he lifted the weight lightly, and lifted the boulder effortlessly, the skill is really good, when his martial arts are not lost, it is of course easy to lift this boulder, but he may not be able to understate it as he is, and if nothing happens, he said at the moment: "Thank you!"
