Chapter 17: A Dead Man's Chess
Let's say that Zhang Yang left the medical hall and went all the way to Bujian Ting Shangzhou.
Bujianting Shangzhou County Branch is located in Yicheng County, the largest county in Shangzhou County.
When Zhang Yang came to the gate of the Bujian Court, he saw a plaque with gold characters on a black background hanging on the door of the vermilion lacquer rendering, on which the dragon flew and the phoenix danced engraved with the three golden characters of "Bujian Court".
At the gate, two strong men with tigers on their backs, holding halberds, stood with angry eyes, making the people passing by around them frightened and retreated.
The huge gate was empty.
Zhang Yang glanced up, then strutted towards the gate of the Bujian Court.
As soon as he approached, he made two noises, and two halberds crossed over to form a scissor-like shape, which was placed on Zhang Yang's neck.
One of the big men asked sharply, "Who are you?"
Zhang Yang sneered, suddenly stretched out his hand, flicked his fingers, and saw the two halberds, the heads of the guns trembling, swishing, and shooting straight back.
Bang!
The two halberds shot at the plaque at the door of the Bujian Court, piercing the black plaque and falling to the ground at once, making a heavy muffled sound.
Suddenly, from inside the gate of the Cloth Sword Court, a large number of men with weapons in their hands poured out, their faces were full of anger, and they were even more furious when they saw the smashed plaque on the ground!
Dozens of people formed a circle and surrounded Zhang Yang in the center.
"Who is so bold as to dare to come to the Sword Courtyard to spread wild?" someone asked.
Zhang Yang said loudly: "Tell the poison king, just say that I came as agreed, and ask him to come forward to meet." ”
"Oh, you are the master in the mouth of the poison king, but it seems that Lao Tzu is nothing more than that! Tell me quickly, where did the little girl go, hand it over obediently, and Lao Tzu will give you a good time!" one of the scar-faced men said fiercely.
Zhang Yang's gaze fell on him, and after a glance, contempt flashed in his eyes, and then he said indifferently: "Shrimp soldiers and crab generals, they dare to speak wildly!"
Hearing this, the scar on Scarface's face became even more hideous, and with a round of the war knife in his hand, he went straight to the top of Zhang Yang's head, slashing Huashan.
The air seemed to be severed, and a terrible shrill sound came out, and a grim smile appeared at the corner of Scarface's mouth.
The other members of the Bujian Court watched coldly, but when they saw the knife slashed by Scarface, they showed a gloating smile.
Because they know very well how strong this Scarface's knife is, when they were on a mission half a month ago, they had seen it with their own eyes, this terrible guy, with a single knife, the target was split in half, and even the horse under the man's crotch was not spared, and was directly cut in half.
This guy is a monster!
Seeing the scar-faced war knife falling, Zhang raised his eyebrows and frowned slightly, and said secretly, this person has so much strength!
Zhang Yang didn't have a weapon on his body, so he naturally didn't dare to take it hard, but he didn't have the slightest fear in the face of this terrible knife.
Everyone only felt that the black shadow in front of them flickered, and the flamboyant body disappeared in place out of thin air.
The scarred face saw that he was about to smash the kid in front of him, but at the last moment, this guy disappeared out of thin air.
Suddenly, a drop of cold sweat slid down his back.
"Where's this guy, isn't ......?" Scarface seemed to think of something, and turned to look abruptly.
As soon as he turned around, he saw a fist shadow flashing behind him, so fast that he didn't even see the appearance of the person who made the move, but he knew in his heart that the other party must be the kid just now.
Disheveled......
An iron fist, like a hammer, slammed into Scarface's lower abdomen.
Scarface couldn't stand the force, and his whole body bent into a "bow" shape and slid backwards rapidly!
At the same time, on the ground, two dazzling scratches immediately appeared, and the scarred face slid all the way back, and the people behind him didn't have time to dodge, they were knocked down in a large area, and they let out screams of amazement and screams.
The scarred face was blocked by the person on the back, but because of the punch, it was fast, ruthless, and extremely powerful, and unfortunately broke two ribs.
There was a double click, and one of the ribs, unbiasedly, pierced into the lobe of his lung.
Suddenly, a large amount of blood poured out of Scarface's mouth, and there was a grunt and heavy gasp in his throat.
When the people around saw this, they immediately hid away in fright, looking at Scarface with a frightened expression.
Finally, he struggled for a while, rolled his eyes, and then gave up. Before he died, his mouth was still wide open, as if he wanted to breathe a breath of fresh air.
Looking at Scarface's tragic death, the others couldn't help but take a breath, they looked at Zhang Yang in front of them in fear, as if they couldn't believe that it was such a kid, with one punch, he actually beat such a powerful Scarface to death.
In fact, Zhang Yang didn't expect that his punch would kill people.
But this is also his own fault!
Heaven is especially forgivable, and self-inflicted sins cannot live!
"Who else of you want to try?" Zhang Yang stood in place with his hands behind his back, his eyes slashing across everyone's faces like knives.
Stared at by his fierce gaze, those people seemed to have been stabbed in the heart one by one, and unconsciously lowered their heads.
Seeing that none of them dared to make a sound, Zhang Yang sneered contemptuously, strode forward, and walked towards the gate of the Cloth Sword Court.
At the same time, he was secretly careful in his heart.
Judging from the strength shown by the scarface just now, this cloth sword court is very deep.
Just the slave who cares for the courtyard already has good martial arts, and when he enters the interior of this cloth sword court, he must be a master, and the opponent's strength will be even more terrifying.
Zhang Yang was walking inside, and suddenly, an old voice sounded on the street.
"Young man, stay!"
Zhang Yang turned around and saw an old man behind him.
He was ragged and scruffy, dressed in a thin old coat, with his hands interlaced in his sleeves and a plank behind him.
Zhang Yang looked at him blankly, and a trace of vigilance arose in his heart.
When the old man saw Zhang Yang stop, a smile appeared on his dark face, revealing two yellowed teeth.
"Boy, do you play chess?" asked the old man.
Burst......
Zhang Yang was almost choked by his own saliva, he frowned, and said, "I'm sorry, old man, I still have important things to do, so I can't accompany you!"
Unexpectedly, when the old man heard this, he sneered and said, "Is there anything important to do, are you in a hurry to send you to death?"
Zhang Yang couldn't help but be secretly angry after hearing this, this old man was really mean when he spoke. But on the surface, he still kept smiling.
"I'm really sorry, old man, I'm going in!" Zhang Yangqiang smiled.
When the old man heard this, he sighed, turned around and walked away.
"I have traveled all over the world, in order to seek defeat, but I can't get it, and now I don't even have a person to play chess with me, what use do I want this chessboard?" the old man walked and untied the wooden board behind him.
It turned out that the fast plank was a chessboard.
The old man raised the chessboard above his head and was about to fall to the ground.
Suddenly, Zhang Yang's heart was touched. He had also had this feeling of being alone and seeking defeat, although it was just a joke.
He suddenly felt some sympathy for the old man, and he thought that this old man must be a chess maniac who was obsessed with chess
"Old man, wait a minute!" Suddenly, a loud voice interrupted the old man's movements.
The old man was stunned for a moment, glanced at Zhang Yang, looked angry, and said, "What are you doing?"
Zhang Yang said: "Old man, I will accompany you in the next game." ”
"Oh, don't you have something important, why did you suddenly change your mind and play chess with my bad old man?" the old man asked with a raised brow, dissatisfied.
Zhang Yang smiled slightly and said: "As the old gentleman said, the so-called important thing in the next is nothing more than sending him to death, and early death is the same as ten thousand deaths, but it is better for the old gentleman to have a wish." Besides, with the old gentleman as my company, someone will give me the last ride, so it won't be too miserable! If I am fortunate enough to keep the whole corpse here, I hope that the old gentleman can help me collect the bones, so that I will not end up in the wilderness of violent corpses! Wouldn't it kill two birds with one stone?"
"Hehe...... the old man sneered twice and said, "You little doll, you can calculate!"
Zhang Yang smiled and said: "Does the old gentleman go down, or not? If not, I'll go in!"
When the old man heard this, he jumped to his feet like a child, gritted his teeth and said, "Down, why don't you go down?" You little doll, what you say must be counted, if you want to leave, the old man will not follow!"
As he spoke, he lay the chessboard flat on the ground, his legs crossed, and his eyes stared at the chessboard with bright eyes.
Then he said to Zhang Yang: "Boy, what are you still doing in a daze? Sit down!"
Zhang Yang didn't do anything, and sat cross-legged at the moment, sitting opposite the old man.
The two of them were at the door of the Cloth Sword Court, opening their posture, but none of the surrounding Cloth Sword Court gangs dared to come up, looking at the two of them in surprise and anger.
However, someone had already entered the inner hall, and Zhang Yang knew that it wouldn't be long before the other party's master would definitely come out.
Bang!
The old man took out two bags of chess pieces from his waist, one black and one white, fell to the ground, and then said to Zhang Yang: "Little doll, the old man will not deceive you, let you go first!"
When Zhang Yang heard this, he pinched the sunspot at the moment and prepared to fall.
But when his eyes fell on the chessboard, his face changed, and he lost his voice: "Old man, this ......"
The old man on the other side sneered and said, "What's all the fuss, playing chess with a little doll like you, do you still need to play step by step? As long as you can break this life-and-death chess, you will win!"
"Okay!" Zhang Yang replied and began to observe the chess game.
Although Zhang Yang is not proficient in chess, he is reasonable. It's just that he looked at it for a moment, but his face showed a shocked expression.
It turns out that this chess game is very weird, with more than 100 pieces on the chessboard, black and white. The most rare thing is that these are interlocking, and everywhere you look at it, it is a question of life and death.
Looking at the overall situation, the sunspots are all surrounded by whites, but if you look closely, the whites are also like being surrounded by sunspots.
Such a complicated and strange chess game, Zhang Yang was really unheard of, unseen, he raised his head in surprise and looked at the old man opposite.
The old man couldn't help but be proud when he saw the expression on his face, and the old god was looking up at the sky, humming an unknown tune in his mouth.
That posture is simply a look of underbeating.
Suddenly, the old man's face suddenly approached Zhang Yang, and then a rude laugh came out of his mouth.
"Hehe, boy, the old man's chess game, called 'Dead Man's Chess', is a chess game set up by the old man with his life's work. If you lose, you will also die in this chess game, and there are countless people who die in this chess game, whether you want to fall or not, you have to think clearly!"
Zhang Yang looked at it in surprise, and saw that the old man's cloudy old eyes were shining brightly, but there were countless bloodshots crawling on the eyeballs.
In his eyes, Zhang Yang saw excitement, confusion, warmth, and hatred......
In these old eyes, there are countless complex feelings, which are really full of vicissitudes......
Zhang Yang couldn't help but be a little stunned, but at this time, he heard the old man's loud shouts.
"You can't get down?"
Zhang Yang was startled, and the chess pieces in his hand slipped off unconsciously and spun on the chessboard......
Both of them couldn't help but be stunned, and their four eyes looked at the chessboard at the same time.
When the chess pieces settled, the eyes of both of them unconsciously became exciting.
