Chapter 176: A Troubled Childhood
A few seconds later, she pointed to the sunspot in the chess box, only to see a sunspot slowly pick up and fly to the chessboard with the guidance of her fingers!
The sunspots are accurately placed and the scores are exactly right. After the sunspot falls, it sticks to the chessboard as if it were sticky.
Passerby A saw it for the first time and felt very fresh, and everyone applauded: It's falling!
Passerby B felt that his friend was a bit like a hillbilly entering the city, but he only smiled kindly.
As the bamboo slips in the courtyard flew to Gui Qian'er's hand one by one, the black and white pieces fell on the chessboard one by one.
Although Chen Mingjie doesn't know much about Go, he still understands a little bit roughly.
At the beginning, the two people in the courtyard were not fast, so Gui Qian'er also fell slowly.
As the chess game progressed, the speed of the two of them accelerated, and the bamboo slips flew into her hands one by one.
But she seemed to have gotten used to it, and the rhythm of her moves on the chessboard was the same as in the courtyard.
Although the Aerial Imperial Artifact was an artifact, at this time, the eyes of the thousands of onlookers were focused on the chessboard.
Seeing that everyone was so fascinated, it could be seen that the battle on the chessboard was no less than the contest between two immortal cultivators.
Those who can enter the finals are not general, the chess game is staggered and unpredictable, and Chen Mingjie will hear the exclamations and exclamations from the onlookers from time to time.
Although the chess game does not determine life and death, it is higher than life and death.
The game of chess is like life.
Some are steady, some are risky.
Sometimes cornered, sometimes bright.
The parties compete in perseverance, endurance, and wisdom.
In such a complicated chess game, it is by no means ordinary people who can see the situation clearly.
The advantage of immortal cultivators is that they have a clearer mind and wisdom, which is difficult for ordinary people to match.
Of course, it depends more on understanding, judging from the chess game, Ji Meng, the head of Taixuguan, seems to have a higher understanding, although he is younger than the other party.
Although Gu Ling is strange and superb, it is almost impossible to make mistakes, but it gives people a sense of deliberateness.
This deliberate feeling is to hide her inner uneasiness.
She is not really immersed in the chess game, and those things outside her body are still affecting her.
Of course, these subtle places are generally seen by ordinary people, and only veterans who have been in the chess game for a long time can get a glimpse of one or two.
Chen Mingjie naturally did not belong to the category of these people, perhaps because he was already a cultivator of the Xuanzhao Realm.
At this time, the chess game was played to the middle game, and in the eyes of outsiders, the current situation was that the two were equal, and the sunspot held by Gu Ling had a slight advantage.
However, through the white of his eyes, Chen Mingjie found that Gu Ling in the other courtyard, although she looked like she wanted to fall asleep in a daze at this time, but in fact, she was already in a cold sweat, her expression was grim, and her mind was a little confused.
On the other hand, Ji Meng is not impatient, steady and steady, a few steps are too aggressive, not too steady, and the next few falls are very meaningful, seemingly understated, but in fact, there is a hidden murderous intention.
If it is placed on weekdays, Gu Ling can cope with it easily, but the pressure of the finals, the eyes of all the people, and the ardent expectations of the senior sister and sister seem to have become several mountains, and she feels that she is overwhelmed.
Playing Go is most afraid of mental instability and lack of concentration, Gu Ling knows this truth very well, but at this time, her realm of foundation building realm cultivation is weak, although it is just playing chess, the level of the realm will also have a great impact on the chess game.
She wondered in her heart, Ji Meng was younger than her, why was she so stable?
A truly strong person is not a person who is not nervous or afraid, but a person who is not afraid in the face of tension and fear, and who breaks through and overcomes himself.
Ji Meng is such a teenager, although he is only fourteen years old, his experience since he was a child has cultivated his strong character of not being surprised.
Gu Ling has been gifted since he was a child, has high-grade immortal resources, and is a rare genius in Tianxiang Pavilion in a hundred years.
She has urinated like the stars holding the moon since she was a child, plus she is well-behaved and sensible, and her practice is also diligent, and she soon surpassed most of the senior sisters and sisters in the same sect.
She rarely experienced any hardships once, and the last incident made her heart palpitate for a long time. This is her luck and her shortcomings.
Ji Meng is different, he is just a child of a poor family, living in a stone village on the Immortal Fall Continent that is almost unknown.
Not to mention cultivating immortals, at that time, it was an extravagant wish for him to even eat a full meal.
Stone Village was so desolate that he had to work in the fields at a very young age in order to have something to eat, and he was often injured.
However, when he was seven years old, God played a joke on him.
Due to the long period of no rain, the land was dry, all the grain grown in the fields died, and there was a famine in the village, and his father starved to death!
After another five days, my mother starved to death!
Three days later, the eldest brother starved to death!
Seven days later, the third brother starved to death!
The death of his relatives one after another has hit his young heart hard, but he has no time to grieve, and at this time there is a serious problem waiting for him!
The burial of the family!
The land in the village belonged to the landlords, they themselves had no land, and their parents and brothers died, but there was nowhere to bury.
He and his second brother carried their father's body to the landlord's house and begged for a piece of land to bury the family, but the landlord ruthlessly refused.
It's your own business, and I don't have any extra land for you to bury.
As a last resort, the two could only carry the bodies of their relatives to the mountain infested with fierce beasts to bury their relatives.
At that time, he was seven years old, and the second brother was only twelve years old.
Although Ji Meng escaped from danger, the second brother died tragically under the minions of the spotted tiger!
It was an unforgettable night, the cold wind was blowing, Ji Meng hid in his dilapidated hut and shivered, thinking of his dead relatives, and couldn't help but burst into tears.
On this cold night, a young mind is tormented.
However, it was precisely because of this that after tonight, strong faith grew in his heart.
But he found a problem, why the landlord did not have to work but did not have to worry about food and clothing, and his parents and brothers were tired and tired but still did not have enough to eat.
At the time, he couldn't figure it out, so he thought he'd look for an answer.
There is no future for staying in Stone Village, and what awaits him is the same fate as his parents and brothers, and he must leave here if he wants to live.
He began to live a wandering life, many times he did not know where he was, he slept by the tree when he was tired, drank the water from the stream when he was thirsty, and looked for wild fruits to eat when he was hungry.
But he still couldn't eat enough, and he didn't sleep well.
Despite the hardships of surviving, there are also many new things.
He found that the original heaven and earth were so big, that the original stone village was like a deep well, and that he was the frog at the bottom of the well.
And they weren't all vicious people like the landlords, he walked through some villages and met many well-wishers, which gave birth to a trace of warmth in his heart.
But the famine was too severe, and along the way, he still saw many people dying of starvation.
It made him in awe of death.
Surviving was his greatest wish at that time.
