Chapter Thirty-Eight: Sudden Change

When Zuo Liancheng and Josia saw Xiao Jian, who came out of the cave and was drenched in sweat, they couldn't help but ask in exclamation at the same time: "What's wrong with you? The breakthrough went well, why did you make such a mess?"

"Thank you two for your concern, everything is still going well, but there is a little pain in the process, so I sweat a lot. Seeing that both of them were looking at him with concern, Xiao Jian couldn't help but smile awkwardly, and then said, "I have to change my clothes, it's dirty all over my body, and I should wash it." ”

"I still have clothes here, which are a little old, but they are still clean. You go along the mountain road on the left, about a mile or two, and I can see a little lake, and you can go there and wash your clothes with you. Remember to come back early, we'll wait for you to have dinner together. Zuo Liancheng took out a set of clothes that were ready to be changed from his package and handed it to Xiao Jian.

By the time Xiao Jian returned to the cave after cleaning, Zuo Liancheng and his wife had already prepared dinner - three golden chickens roasted golden brown with an attractive aroma. There was no way, when the three of them went out, they didn't expect to stay in the mountains for so many days, although they brought a lot of dry food, but they didn't prepare other cooking utensils, and now they can only eat barbecue and dry food. Fortunately, all three of them have the experience of living in the wild for a long time, and they have long been accustomed to this kind of life, and I am afraid that they will be tired of it as ordinary people.

"How are you doing your research on the chess game left by that senior?" When Xiao Jian was baking his freshly washed clothes by the fire after dinner, Zuo Liancheng came to Xiao Jian and sat down beside him and asked.

"Still don't have a clue, the figure is already halfway down, and it stops halfway. As you know, although there are only black and white pieces in this game, there are thousands of variations in it. If you can't understand the chess game and make rash moves, not only will you not be able to solve the chess game, but you are more likely to offend the city authorities. "In the past few days, in addition to practicing and meditating, I have basically sat on the ground at the table to simulate the movement of chess pieces. Although Xiao Jian occasionally played with his classmates a few times when he was in junior high school, and even read several chess books, he didn't think about developing from this aspect at that time, so he didn't study it in depth. But I didn't expect that as soon as I crossed into this world, the first big problem I encountered would be related to Go. It's really "the book is used when you hate less, and you don't know how difficult it is to go through right and wrong", I knew that there would be today, so how could I have spent a little more effort to study and study the basic ancient chess games.

"Do you want to understand the chess game? If this is really the case, then will this chess game be related to the words written next to it? By the way, what does the sentence 'open the world, only I Pangu' mean? What is that 'Pangu'? And what does 'Yanhuang' mean?" In fact, Zuo Liancheng has been thinking about those words for the past few days, and when he saw Xiao Jian's sad look, he simply said his thoughts.

"'Yan Huang' is the two oldest and most holy emperors in our myths and legends, one is called 'Yan Emperor' and the other is called 'Yellow Emperor'. We people there are accustomed to calling ourselves 'Yanhuang' descendants. "Pangu" is also a character in the story of deification, according to legend, a long time ago, the world was chaotic, heaven and earth are not divided, it was Pangu who used his own giant axe to split the chaotic world into two with an axe, and "open the world" is this myth and legend. Xiao Jian is naturally very clear about the names and stories of these people that can be seen in primary school textbooks.

"I don't think it's that simple. If that senior was just to tell such a story, then there was no need to carve him so solemnly on the stone table. If you think about it, it might be instructive. ”

"Open the world, only I Pangu, white and black, all things, heaven and earth are unified, and the world is the same. Open the world, open the world......" Xiao Jian felt that what Zuo Liancheng said just now seemed to be very reasonable, and couldn't help but think of the two lines of small characters engraved on the stone table again, and muttered to himself. Suddenly, a flash of inspiration flashed in my mind, as if a big hand suddenly tore open the black cloth covering my eyes, and my eyes suddenly became clear. Xiao Jian, who figured out the key to it, suddenly slapped his thigh excitedly, jumped up from the ground at once, grabbed Zuo Liancheng's shoulder excitedly, and said with bright eyes: "I thought of it, I thought of it." Uncle Zuo, thank you for the reminder just now, now I understand that the words 'open the world' are actually not telling us any story, but telling us that this chess game is actually 'opening the world'"!

"It's really "stepping on the iron shoes and finding nowhere to go, and it takes no effort to get them", "waking up the dreamer with a word", isn't that "breaking ground" the first big chess game ranked first among the top ten Go games in ancient China? But now what Xiao Jian is thinking about is not a shameful thing, his mind is now full of excitement and excitement, and he is about to hug Zuo Liancheng tightly and turn around in place a few times.

"That's great, and I really want to see what you're going to get out of that game. Seeing Xiao Jian's red face and full of confidence, he knew that Xiao Jian must have seen the chess game inside. Everyone has curiosity. Zuo Liancheng also wanted to see what earth-shattering actions were hidden behind the fact that the predecessor had done things so mysteriously.

"Let's go and have a look! If that chess game is really 'groundbreaking', it is really tailor-made for me. Haha, although I haven't played a few games of Go before, I can't play a normal level of chess. But this "groundbreaking" game was recorded in the first chess book I ever read, and now everything is still engraved in my head. Xiao Jian was even more anxious than Zuo Liancheng, and he was already gearing up and eager to try.

The three of them each lit a torch and came to the stone table together. Yi Xiao Jian did not get down immediately, but quietly sat down on the chair next to the stone table, then abandoned his concentration, closed his eyes, and deduced the chess game in his memory from beginning to end several times in his mind, until he knew all the steps in his chest, and then carefully picked up a chess piece that looked like jade and not jade and like stone from the box full of black flags with his index finger and middle finger, and gently clicked it into the chessboard according to the way he remembered.

As soon as the chess pieces in his hand touched the table, the entire chessboard suddenly trembled slightly, and the black chess pieces were embedded in the chessboard without Xiao Jian noticing! At the same time, a white chess piece that also looked like jade and non-jade, and looked like jade and non-stone, automatically flew up from the box, and quickly landed in front of the black piece that Xiao Jian had just landed, and it was also embedded in the chessboard.

After the black and white sons fell one after another, before Xiao Jian could react, the six chess pieces in the box suddenly flew out one after another, and after a slight pause in the air, as if they had eyes, the three on the left and the three on the right, respectively, shot towards the two Zuo Liancheng and his wife who were standing next to him!

"Flash away!" is not as good as other changes that make Xiao Jian stunned, he shouted at the moment, and he didn't care about much, he waved his palms at the same time, "Shuanglong Exploring the Sea", a powerful Yuan Force came out of his body, and the chess pieces that were flying in the air slapped away.

Although Xiao Jian's reaction was fast, it was still a step late, and although the Yuan Force struck out with both palms successfully shook the chess pieces away from the previous trajectory, the first two chess pieces to fly out still hit the left shoulders of Zuo Liancheng and his wife almost at the same time, passing through their bodies! Fortunately, Xiao Jian reminded him just now, and both of them put their bodies on the side for the first time, and made an instinctive dodge, otherwise the white chess pieces would have been injured not by the shoulder but by the chest.

Zuo Liancheng and his wife, who were suddenly attacked by the white chess pieces, let out a muffled snort at the same time, reaching out to cover their injured shoulders, their faces full of pain and horror.

"Uncle Zuo, Aunt Qiao, what's wrong with you?" Seeing that Xiao and the two were injured at the same time, Xiao Jian was in a hurry, and hurriedly ran over and held the two of them up.

"We are careless, it seems that the eight words engraved on this stone table, 'If it is not my clan, if you act rashly, you will be punished', not only does it mean that the predecessors of the clan cannot move this chess game, but also cannot even watch it from the sidelines. After the two of them wrapped the wound, Zuo Liancheng sighed and said thoughtfully.

"Maybe that's the case, you see, six white chess pieces flew out of the box just now, and they paused in the air for a while, but in the end, they only attacked the two of us at the same time, and you who were present together were safe. As I expected, the reason why the six chess pieces paused in the air just now is probably to distinguish our breath. Josia's face was still a little pale, she was a woman, and the pain was much worse than her husband's.

"I'm sorry, I didn't expect this to happen, otherwise I wouldn't have let you come and watch it. Xiao Jian saw that both of them were suddenly injured because of themselves, and he felt very sorry in his heart.

"It's okay, we're not seriously injured. You never thought it would happen. It seems that this opportunity really belongs to you alone. Earlier, there was just a chess piece flying out of the box, and it may have been just a warning to us. If we continue to stay here, I'm afraid that even more unexpected things will happen next. To be on the safe side, it's better for us to get out of here first. Zuo Liancheng didn't blame Xiao Jian, but turned his head to look at his wife, preparing to leave this place of right and wrong that hurt him inexplicably.

"Excuse me, why don't I go with you. I can't let you come in with me, and I'll leave you alone. When Xiao Jian saw that the two were leaving, he suddenly lost interest and wanted to leave together.

"Don't be pretentious, you better stay. Such a machine green can be met but not sought. Besides, didn't you say before that we are a family, since we are a family, isn't it the same for everyone who gets the things here?" Josia knew what Xiao Jian was thinking, and quickly explained.

"Yes, Xiao Gongzi, you don't have to mind. We are a family, what else do we have to share with each other? Zhu Liancheng saw that Xiao Jian was still hesitating, and he also spoke to dissuade him.

"Then, stay first. I'll tell you when I have the results. Xiao Jian sent the two out of the stone room, and after watching the two of them walk away, he turned around again, grabbed the black chess pieces in the box, and prepared to finish the next chess game.
