The quality of poetry is inherently different from person to person, and everyone's taste and preference are different, and they will be biased.

Therefore, in the imperial examination field, many candidates will inquire about the preferences of the examiner who reviews the examination papers, so as to cater to the preferences of the examiner, so as to make it easier for them to gain fame.

At present, there is no examiner or judge in the poetry competition, and the quality of the poem depends on two mouths, and naturally no one will admit that their poems are worse than others, so in order to show fairness, they have to invite the gods of heaven to judge.

Li Xiuyuan burned incense and enshrined it in front of Wenqu Xing's shrine, and then burned incense and prayed, hoping that this incense could join heaven and earth and invite the gods in heaven to judge.

Although they made a bet with the gods of the Heavenly Palace, they removed the big and small ghosts and gods in the Yangzhou realm, but this matter of inviting the gods was not within the scope of the gambling contract.

The three incense sticks burned quietly, turned into a stream of incense and flew out of the main hall, then went straight to the clouds, and finally disappeared above the nine heavens.

This incense is not an ordinary incense, it is specially made by Li Xiuyuan.

It was originally reserved for Xiaomei to enjoy, increase her Taoism, and let her get rid of the identity of a female ghost as soon as possible, but now Xiaomei stayed in Guo Beicheng and practiced the immortal method with the blind Taoist, and this incense was not used for a while.

"Can he really invite the Heavenly Divine Monarch?" Hu Hei hesitated when he saw Li Xiuyuan's move, but he was also particularly concerned.

If he can invite the natural Wenqu star, then he can also invite other gods in the sky.

In this way, the threat of this person will be self-evident.

Even a mere mortal is an existence that cannot be underestimated, not to mention that this person has an unpredictable supernatural ability.

"The revenge of my son's physical destruction is only afraid that it will be difficult to avenge. Hu Hei couldn't help but think of it with regret in his heart.

But he didn't want to think about how many descendants of the fox clan died in this catastrophe by Hu Han, and if revenge was mentioned, Hu Han's hatred was enough to kill the Hu Hei clan cleanly before he could stop.

"It's been a while, where is the Wenqu Xing you invited?" At this time, Li Liangjin became a little impatient: "If you don't have the ability to invite God, don't be embarrassed here and show off some of your own gods." ”

"My prayer goes up to heaven with the incense, if the gods in heaven receive it for a while, if you are impatient to wait, we can start the second game, and then it is not too late to wait for the star king of heaven to come down to earth before judging. Li Xiuyuan said calmly.

Please God is not so quick and available.

It will take some time to deliver the message, and the gods will have to be free before the spirit is visible.

Li Liangjin said: "Don't say that Ben Gongzi won't give you a chance, since you want to delay the first evaluation, then Ben Gongzi will depend on you, but after the second competition, there is no obvious spirit, then you can wait for Ben Gongzi, Ben Gongzi will not spare you." ”

"It seems that you will definitely win, the second game of the competition is determined by me, piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, poetry and songs, we compete in chess. ”

"Chess skills can be scored without judgment, which is the fairest literary fight. Li Xiuyuan said.

"Okay, I'll play a game of chess with you. Li Liangjin immediately agreed, looking very confident.

Although his chess skills are not exquisite, he is not as good as many chess masters in Jinling City, but he thinks that his chess skills are definitely not bad, at least there is no problem in winning this martial arts, he does not believe that this martial artist still has such leisure to go on.

Moreover, there is a sentence that he also agrees with, chess skills cannot be cheated, and it is clear who loses and who wins, and there is no room for sophistry.

"Fetch the chessboard. Li Liangjin said to a fox girl next to him.

The fox girl answered, and Ying Ying stepped down, and soon brought out a chessboard from a side room, and arranged the cushions beside her, waiting for the two to take their seats.

"Please. Li Liangjin waved his sleeves, walked up, and sat down directly.

Li Xiuyuan smiled and sat down immediately.

He wasn't proficient in chess before, but now...... Not necessarily.

At the beginning, in order to save his father Li Dafu, he played chess for three days with the thousand-year-old He Shou Wujing on Wangchuan Mountain, and he has now remembered the ghostly chess game, although it is not as good as the old man of He Shou Wujing, but he also learned his five or six points level, and finally the words shook his mind before winning him a son.

And how high is the chess skill of He Shou Wujing in the millennium?

It's unimaginable.

This old man waited on the mountain to become an immortal, and when he was bored, he played chess with himself for decades, and his chess skills were already invincible in the world.

can have his level of five or six points, Li Xiuyuan feels that he can sweep most of the chess players in the world.

"I'm black, I'll go first. Li Liangjin said lightly, take the lead first, and he won't guess the odds and doubles with Li Xiuyuan.

At this time, winning or losing is very important, not only a matter of face, but also involves many implications, so you can only win and not lose.

Even if you win the last game, you have to win this game.

Li Xiuyuan smiled: "It doesn't matter, if you go first, you will let you go first." ”

Go is not the first to win first, but Li Liangjin took the lead, and it is estimated that he also has his own ideas for playing chess.

It's just right, today I will be a He Shou Wujing, let him see how suffocating the chess skills of this thousand-year-old spirit are.

"Smack~!" Without thinking, Li Xiuyuan fell behind.

Li Liangjin's face was as usual, and he also replied.

Li Xiuyuan didn't think about it, so he fell again, as if he had a chess game in his heart, as long as he followed the chess game, he didn't need to think about it at all.

"How does Li Xiuyuan play chess, step by step, it's just a mess. ”

"This guy likes to use the method of agitation, confusing people's minds, this is probably one of his means, to put pressure on Brother Li with rapid chess, so that he messed up, chess art together, although the competition on the chess game is important, but the competition outside the chess can not be ignored, when playing chess, it is often possible because of a sentence of manifestation, a moment of confusion, then take a wrong step, the result is wrong, the whole game is lost. ”

After the previous poetry competition, these two scholars did not dare to underestimate Li Xiuyuan, a martial artist.

Although they disdained Li Xiuyuan, a reckless man with martial arts, they also felt from his poems that his talent was no less than Li Liangjin.

A person with such a talent has other attainments that are not low.

"Smack~!"

Li Xiuyuan waited for him to drop off and quickly picked up a son, and the difference between them was only half a breath.

Li Liangjin's face turned cold, and he looked at Li Xiuyuan: "Do you think you can win by playing chess quickly?"

"You may not be able to win if you play fast, but your chess piece is dead, sometimes you think too much and make too many mistakes, and it is useless to hesitate. Li Xiuyuan smiled and directly picked up a small piece of his chess piece.

Li Liangjin glanced at the chessboard, and suddenly felt aggrieved in his heart.

Where did this Li Xiuyuan learn his chess skills, he played chess very quickly before, and it looked like an antelope hanging its horns, but in fact, when he came back to his senses, his chess pieces were strangled and killed, so if it goes on, I'm afraid that the situation will not be good.

What he didn't know was that Li Xiuyuan was dazed by He Shou Wujing's fast chess game.

Before you understand what is going on, you have already lost.

Time passed.

The speed of Li Liangjin's fall is getting slower and slower, but the speed of Li Xiuyuan's fall is still so sharp and fast, one of his sons hesitantly fell, Li Xiuyuan fell immediately, and then looked again, but found that his son was strangled again.

"Young people should be patient when playing chess, but don't worry, think about it and play it again. Li Xiuyuan smiled lightly, looked at Li Liangjin, who was hesitant and frowning, and smiled.

Li Liangjin was already aggrieved when he heard this, and he was even more angry, and he had the urge to fly the chessboard.

Li Xiuyuan can understand his mood, because he has also experienced the grievances of playing chess with He Shou Wujing.

The ruthless crushing is indeed uncomfortable, especially when your victory or defeat is very important to you, and the heart is even more uncomfortable.

"Do you still want to think about it? You've been thinking about it for a long time, and you don't want to stall for time. Li Xiu said from afar.

Looking at the chessboard again, Li Liangjin's sunspots are not much left, but anyone who can play chess knows that this is already powerless, unless Li Xiuyuan suddenly becomes a chess idiot, there is a possibility of winning.

"You won this game, no more. Li Liangjin stretched out his hand angrily, threw away the chess pieces in his hand, and then stood up: "But don't be complacent, our victory and defeat have not been scored, and there is no competition in the third game." ”

"Maybe you don't have to compare in the third game, don't you smell a smell?" Li Xiuyuan smiled.

Li Liangjin's nose moved, but he smelled a strong incense and the smell of books and ink permeated the entire hall.

This fragrance is not something that can be achieved by the previous three-pillar incense.

Suddenly, Li Liangjin saw an elegant middle-aged man sitting after the main throne, he didn't know when, this person stroked his beard and smiled, wearing a big hat, and his clothes were different from ordinary people, a bit like the style of the temple's god clothes, looking at his appearance, but he was suddenly shocked.

It's actually the appearance of the previous champion.

"This, this....... Are you a human or a ghost? Li Liangjin was suddenly surprised.

You must know that the champion of the previous department was assigned to a remote county town as a county magistrate because he offended the villain above the court, but he died of illness in a depressed state on the way.

But when he heard the news, he sighed for this, thinking that he had come to Jinling City to play before he was admitted to the champion, and he had seen him, and now only a few years have passed, and a generation of Zhuangyuanlang has actually buried his bones in another country.

Li Xiuyuan's face was as usual, and he gave a salute and said, "This is the Wenqu Junxing in the sky?"

He was respectful of the gods, but not humble.
