Chapter 4: The Legend of the Cat Ghost (43) - The game
☆☆☆
Li Gonglin was amused for a moment, and asked, "Uncle Duan, you don't really think that Brother Ouyang and I will spend the night in this pavilion, right?"
"This ......"
Chris laughed and said, "The southeast side of the garden is the main house, and the last time Bo Shi and Lord Shen entered the mansion from the south. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info he liked that place so he said that he wanted to live, and he also wanted to draw a "Garden Map" for the garden. ”
The part of the main house that Zhang Ruoshui is responsible for has been built on a small scale at this time. It was built by the court architect and several garden masters specially invited from the south, and it was very in line with the aesthetic taste of the Song people in terms of style, structure, and charm. The garden is exquisite, but just right, not overly carved, simple but not simple, elegant and free, but not simple and vulgar. Therefore, he was able to enter the eyes of Li Gonglin, a member of the Shuzhou family.
The main house is quite far from the core area of the institution under construction, which is why Chris is relieved to let Li Gonglin stay overnight. In addition, she also welcomes these people to move in, how to say, on the one hand, to attract them, on the other hand, the house must be popular.
Li Gonglin said: "I know that you like bamboo, and I deliberately asked Brother Ouyang to lead you and his wife in from the northern waterway." ”
"So that's the case!" Li Zhiyi scratched his head and said, "If you don't say it earlier, you'll make me a joke again!"
"I just want you to look at it at a glance and put your heart in the bamboo sea...... In the future, I want you to live with me, I'm afraid you will be willing!"
Chris said: "Bo Shi lives here, and he is half a master, so it is better for you to lead them on a tour, and I will rush over after arranging the things at hand!"
Li Gonglin nodded.
When they left, Chris said to Ronxu: "When I go back, I must learn from Asu and Aya, their father will be coquettish and cute!"
"I'm just a little nostalgic for human body temperature. The little snake glared at her, "And because of your practice, you have become no different from a cold-blooded animal." ”
"Aren't you a cold-blooded animal now?
"You know what, although it is attached to the body of a snake, it is still a human emotion ......"
"Shhhhh......h
"Ouyang Gongzi forgive me for being presumptuous, I also have one thing to ask, don't vomit or be unhappy!"
What's going on today? Everyone has become a curious baby?
As soon as she turned around, she found that Shen Kuo had no master, as if she had lost her soul. His pale face showed that he was in need of a glass of water, and Chris quickly helped him to sit down.
She asked Shen Kuo, "What's wrong?"
"It's okay, I'm ......," he asked, "I want to ask...... How do you know that this board was made by Bi Sheng?"
"Uh......" Chris felt that something didn't seem right, and thought to himself: how could he be so excited when he heard me say Bi Sheng. I can't tell him that I know it from the history of the printing class, so I'll fool around the past first. After thinking about it, she said, "The person who sold me this board told me." ”
"You bought this board?" Shen Kuo was impatient, and his voice was hoarse when he asked.
Chris nodded and said, "It was in an antique shop in Qingzhou, and the owner told me that the person who made this wooden board was a printing workshop craftsman named Bi Sheng!"
"Qingzhou ......" Shen Kuo was upset in his heart, and muttered: "How can he be in Qingzhou? I haven't heard that he has been to Qingzhou......"
Chris frowned and asked, "Listening to what Lord Shen said, do you know Bi Sheng?"
Shen Kuo raised his head and said slowly, "Bi Sheng...... It is indeed a craftsman in a printing workshop, but the workshop is not in Qingzhou, but in Hangzhou. Shen Kuo paused, as if to see if there was any change in Chris's face.
Chris gets along with Lan Yuanzhen and these old foxes in the harem every day, and naturally learns well, but in front of an opponent of Shen Kuo's level, he is completely unfazed.
Shen Kuo sighed and said, "Bi Sheng and my father are old friends, so I not only know each other, but also call him uncle." ”
"Huh?" said Chris, "I see, so ......"
Before she could continue, Shen Kuo interrupted her and said, "I heard that Ouyang Gongzi wants to use that movable type board to print Buddhist scriptures......"
"yes, what's wrong?"
"I advise you not to do that!"
"Why?"
"The plank...... It is true that it can be used to print books, but in the eyes of some people, it is not just a movable type board for printing books, but a different object......"
"What the hell is 'something'?"
Shen Kuo said with a cautious face: "Ouyang Gongzi, this matter is very complicated, and it will not be clear for a while, but if you don't say it, I am afraid that Gongzi will invite unwarranted disasters...... If you believe me, listen to me, don't take it out to the market, even if it's a copy! It's a bad thing that will kill you!"
Chris estimated what Shen Kuo said to himself in his heart: Hey, how can it be as if Lord Shen knows that this is the holy book of the Demon Sect?

Jingshichang Palace.
Chang Wangfu is located in the northwest corner of the imperial city outside the Tianbo Gate, this piece of eunuch area is the most glorious and prominent area in Bianliang City, the palace hall is solemn, the pavilion is scattered, the style is extraordinary, this piece of feng shui treasure is said to be directly given by Song Yingzong, in fact, it is Gao Tao to his son to ask. With such an exceptional reward, everyone said that the prince was the favorite son of the current queen mother, and there were rumors among the people that he would be appointed as the governor of Kaifeng Mansion in the future. According to the ancestral system established by the two dynasties of Taizu and Taizong, is it still far from the day of "Prince Yin Jing"?
A while ago, Yingzong was at a funeral, and Han Qi was the envoy of the mountain mausoleum, and he was responsible for arranging the funeral together with Zhao Hao. In fact, Han Xiangye is in charge of the overall situation, and he doesn't have to worry too much about everything, but in the end, it is a royal matter, and he has to do it himself for his father.
After the funeral, Zhao Hao has also been dealing with relevant matters in Yonghouling, and only left when everything is in order. The Yonghou Mausoleum built for Song Yingzong is west of Kaifeng, close to Luoyang, and some distance from the capital. Along the way, the carriage did not stop, and the prince returned to the capital in the dust.
Zhao Hao had just washed off his saddle horse fatigue, and was sitting on the recliner in the study at this time, Qiu Yiyun helped him wipe his slightly damp long hair, and the wide robe was put on at will, and the plain white underwear was faintly visible.
The half-human-high nine-ring jade furnace sits on a bronze base, and the furnace burns with elegant spices, and the smoke flows along the holes in the furnace. Zhao Hao closed his eyes, and a few crisp sounds of falling children sounded in his ears from time to time.
Hearing the footsteps, Zhao Hao didn't raise his eyes.
The sword stepped over the threshold and walked in.
There are two people on the side couch playing Go.
He glanced at it, and the person on the left was Shen Kuo, Shen Cunzhong. At this time, Shen Kuo was engrossed in looking at the chessboard, and he didn't notice the arrival of the sword at all. The man on the right, he had never seen before, looked younger than Shen Kuo. I saw this person clasping his hands in front of his chest, his eyes closed, as if he was thinking.
"Eight-sixteen. The man with his eyes closed suddenly whispered.
I saw Shen Kuo take out a white piece from the opponent's chess box, put it on the chessboard, and then stared at the chessboard tightly, thinking.
Blind chess?
The Song people had an extraordinary obsession with Go, whether it was a high-ranking official or a small citizen, they all loved Go. Naturally, the sword shop is no exception. He played against Shen Kuo and knew that he was extraordinary. Don't look at Shen Kuo's kind face, but he is a person who loves to fight on the chessboard. He always likes to start a fight and strangle with his opponent in the opening stages, and because of his accurate calculations, he can often take advantage of opportunities in chaotic situations and win in the middle game. Now that someone is playing against him in blind chess, how can he not surprise the sword?
He saw that Shen Kuo had been pondering for a long time, and he was curious for a while, so he walked to the side couch. He turned his head to look at the prince, only to see that Zhao Hao was still closing his eyes and recuperating, Qiu Yiyun smiled at him, put down the cloth towel in his hand, and walked towards him.
"Sixteen of six. Shen Kuo finally spoke, he took out a sunspot and put it on the chessboard, his eyes were still staring at the chessboard, and he didn't notice Jian Xi and Qiu Yiyun standing in front of the side couch at all.
Jian Yan saw the situation on the chessboard clearly, and saw that the strange man's white son just now was alone in a place with no edge and no corner, which was unpredictable, and Shen Kuo did not change his "love to fight" temperament, and followed one step on the side. At this time, the white pieces on the chessboard are scattered and take some external momentum, while Shen Kuo's black pieces are mixed with the white pieces, relatively speaking, Shen Kuo has gained some ground.
Qiu Yiyun asked in a low voice: "I was born with a straight intestine, and I can't understand this twisting and turning thing the most?"
The sword gave him a blank look, but did not reply.
"Eight of eighteen. The man with his eyes closed jumped unhurriedly.
"Nine of three. This time, Shen Kuo made a quick move, he groaned slightly, and made up a piece next to a black piece in the upper left corner. When Jian Yan saw Shen Kuo strengthening his black chess, he thought that he must be preparing to attack the white chess.
The man who played chess with Shen Kuo closed his eyes, and he couldn't see any emotion on his elegant and thin face, and he was still playing chess in an orderly manner, without being affected at all.
The black pressure of the upper left sunspot was overwhelming, and Shen Kuo saw that the scale here was stable, so he prepared to move to the lower right corner. Because at the time of the opening, he occupied the position of Xiaomu here, and now his sunspot is flying next to Xiaomu.
At this time, the man with his eyes closed hung the white chess piece in the six-sevenths position in the upper right.
Jian Shi didn't expect him to take this step, and said secretly: Obviously, the big field is guarding the corner or dismantling the edge below, and if it is himself, he will never choose to hang in the upper right corner. It seems that the blind chess of Go is really difficult and abnormal, it can't be that this person's memory is no longer clear, right?
Shen Kuo was also stunned when he saw this move, but he still chased after him very cautiously, and after a few hits on the top, the pace was excellent, and the white chess did not open the situation as expected. When he was about forty moves, the man with his eyes closed suddenly played a super big fly on the periphery of the black chess.
This can completely confuse the sword, he said to himself: What kind of chess are you? Obviously, the black chess has been pressed step by step, revealing hideousness, but you are still walking around like this, it is strange if you don't lose!
Sure enough, Shen Kuo smiled, the meat that was brought to his mouth was not eaten in vain, and he mentioned it. In this way, white can only be tired of the battle, defending in sharp corners, but this kind of soft movement is really useless.
Jian Yan pouted, the defeat was decided at this moment, and no matter how hard White struggled, I am afraid that it would be difficult to escape the doom.
Sure enough, Shen Kuo quickly dragged the battle into the bottom of the chessboard, and the black chess pieces in the left and right corners were full of sails. The advantage appeared too early, although after that, white chess marched all the way and stubbornly strangled, but by more than one hundred and ten moves, Shen Kuo was already strolling on the chessboard.
Entering the closing stage, the situation is of course sunspot.
Just when Jian Shi also thought that the overall situation had been decided and the ending was already a "routine", white suddenly made a move in a field of black chess. Jian Shi took a closer look, and was stunned, it turned out that this black chess dragon that had been done alive had a weakness that was vulnerable to attack, but the white chess sign was unfavorable, so it was no big problem;
This is the same move that was made before!
The sword exclaimed again and again in his heart, the stinky man just now has now become a god! And a piece of white chess in the upper right corner before, has been strangled by the black chess dragon, struggling, at this time, because of this grape, immediately counterattacked into an attack, and became a sharp sword attacking the black chess on this side! And before, because the black chess was busy attacking, it had many loopholes, and immediately fell into a bitter battle.
It's just a son, and the situation of strength and weakness is reversed.
Realizing what had happened, Shen Kuo fell into deep thought. After a long and careful consideration, he decisively gave up the black piece and began to rob the official in other places, hoping to make up for the loss. But at this time, white changed its previous laziness, did not have the slightest slackness, pressed step by step, and fought with black chess for every piece, and did not give up.
Although Shen Kuo also made a lot of clever moves, the black chess dragon was killed, and the loss was too great, and he was powerless to return to the sky at this time. The man who played blind chess was still so quiet, meticulously saying every move.
After one hundred and sixty moves, the game had nothing to do with winning or losing, but both sides played diligently.
The end of the game.
Shen Kuo let out a long sigh, hugged his fists and smiled: "Mr. Wei is really amazing!"
Jian Shi also breathed a long sigh of relief, this game was really thrilling! He was surprised and admired, and he enjoyed watching such a miraculous chess game. This person has a strange layout and is very comparable. His mastery of the general trend is even more brilliant, not only can he find weaknesses according to his opponent's style of play, but he can also quietly turn the situation around. On the surface, white chess is weak, scattered and invisible, complicated and disorderly, and it seems that there is no power to return to heaven after the middle game, but he has a calm mind, accurate calculation, and a clever move, it will be invisible and tangible, and it can create magical powers in the rain and rain.
The man smiled and said, "Brother Shen, I have conceded!" When he said this, Jian Yan saw that he opened his eyes, although his eyes were clear, but his gaze was obviously sluggish, Jian Yan's mouth was wide open, this person was really blind!
