"Brother Tiangang, why did you remember to play chess here?" Zhang Xuanqing was pulled to sit opposite Yuan Tiangang, looking at the chessboard on the stone table a little blind.

It was dark today, there was no moon, and the stone table they were at was three or four feet away from the room.

In ancient times, there were no electric lights, and the dim candles in the room could not shine through the screen windows.

Rao is Zhang Xuanqing has clear eyes, his eyesight is far beyond ordinary people, and the grid on the chessboard is blurred.

How else is this a game of chess?

Clinker, Yuan Tiangang smiled, and the dark light flashed in his eyes: "Brother Dao, today we not only have to compare chess skills, but also compare cultivation." ”

Than repaired?

Looking at the glow in Yuan Tiangang's eyes, Zhang Xuanqing suddenly understood: The other party is going to check his qi technique!

These days, although he focuses on cultivating light skills, he has not fallen behind.

Anyway, he can go without sleep for more than ten days and nights, and there is time.

Although the Qi Hope Technique is said to be Qi, it also has the effect of night vision. Moreover, the cultivation of the Qi Hope Technique was based on the Eye Aperture and the Innate Qi, and Zhang Xuan had these two points early in the morning, so his cultivation progressed extremely quickly.

Thinking about this, Zhang Xuanqing was also interested, the dark light flashed under his eyes, and his vision suddenly changed.

The originally dark world became gray, similar to the scene of the early morning before dawn. Thin or rich five-colored gases wafted in the field of vision, and the chessboard on the stone table gradually became clear.

This kind of clarity is not different from normal clarity, just like this chessboard was originally made of mahogany, but at this time, in Zhang Xuanqing's eyes, it was gray.

The rest of the stone tables and benches were the same, and everything in the courtyard that had no living features turned gray. Those with life characteristics, such as big trees and Yuan Tiangang, all have their own colors.

At the same time as Zhang Xuanqing "opened his eyes", Yuan Tiangang had already picked up a sunspot and pointed it at the small eye position in the upper right corner of the chessboard. This is not only the usual politeness in the Go world, but also the most common starting style, which can be said to be decent.

Seeing this, Zhang Xuanqing did not delay, and twisted the white chess pieces in the lower left star position of the chessboard. In this way, the two of you have one hand and I have the other, and they quickly fall on the chessboard.

However, unlike ordinary people who play chess, the two of them play chess with their right hand, but their left hand is placed on their lap to quickly calculate.

This is the easy way to go!

Easy is the ease of Zhou Yi and the easy of change, not the game of game.

Whoever learns the Tao of Change, there is no one who does not know how to play chess.

In order to learn arithmetic, Zhang Xuanqing also took great pains to learn chess and memorized a lot of chess games. The chess path he and Yuan Tiangang are taking now is through the I Ching calculus, combined with the favorable time and place, using chess as a hexagram and a hexagram as a chess, not only to drop the chessboard, but also to consider things outside the chessboard.

Just like the direction of the two, Zhang Xuanqing is in the north and Yuan Tiangang is in the south. Today is the thirtieth year of the Chinese New Year's Eve, the year of Yiyou, the month of Eyin, and the day of the Lunar New Year, the God of Wealth is due south, the God of Joy is southeast, and the Gate of Death is due north. On the last day of Zhang Xuanqing's life, his good fortune was low, his anger was rushing, and he happened to sit at the door of death, and it was extremely difficult to win; on the contrary, Yuan Tiangang sat on the throne of the god of wealth, and was accompanied by the god of joy, so it can be said that as soon as he sat down at the beginning of the fight, Zhang Xuanqing lost.

This is the real competition and cultivation, and if you don't calculate a little, you will fall into disadvantage.

At first, Zhang Xuanqing didn't pay attention to this, and when he found out, it was too late. A game of chess did not wait for the end of the game, he was already in a dilemma, helpless, he had to admit defeat, and said with a wry smile: "Brother Dao is really calculating!"

"Don't dare to be, don't dare to be, take advantage of the unpreparedness of Taoist friends. Yuan Tiangang smiled, stretched his waist, and yawned: "Heh-it's not early, and the poor Dao is tired, so I won't accompany Brother Dao." After saying that, he got up and walked back with three shakes.

Just walked a few steps, suddenly turned around, a face hidden in the dark, and couldn't see it really: "Brother Dao, life is in the world, be happy." ”

Is this comforting yourself?

Seeing Yuan Tiangang's figure disappear, Zhang Xuanqing was stunned for a while, and suddenly smiled silently.

Lowering his head and glancing at the mess on the table, he picked up the wine jar next to him and took a big sip on his head.

Joyfully!

Suddenly, a sense of sleepiness struck: the use of Wangqi is extremely energy-consuming, and playing chess and calculating is even more mind-consuming. Rao is Zhang Xuanqing, and it is inevitable that he will feel tired at this time.

Shaking his head, his head was a little dizzy, he yawned, beat his spirits, and walked back with the wine jar.

However, as soon as he turned around, a flash flashed out of the corner of his eye, and he caught a glimpse of what seemed to be a figure on the roof next to him.

The man was on top of the eaves, half-squatting and half-sitting, and there was a black thing beside him, round and rumbling, as if it were a wine jar.

Zhang Xuanqing settled down, and his luck looked at the qi technique, although the five-colored qi faintly blocked the person's face, he still saw that the person was Liu Jiannan.

"What is he doing on the roof at night?"

Zhang Xuanqing muttered in his heart, straightened his chest and lifted his breath, stood on tiptoe, flew up to the beam, and landed silently.

The sound of the wind still made Liu Jiannan feel startled, and he shouted: "Who!" suddenly turned around and saw that it was Zhang Xuanqing, so he breathed a sigh of relief: "Why did you come up too?"

"I don't see you squatting here, just come up and take a look. Zhang Xuanqing walked up to him with a smile, saw that his expression was wrong, sat beside him, and asked, "What's the matter, do you miss your relatives?"

Liu Jiannan looked in a trance, nodded, and did not speak.

"Tsk, being alone in a foreign land as a stranger, thinking of relatives every festival. Zhang Xuanqing sighed, smiled and stuffed the wine jar into the other party's arms: "More?" Seeing that Liu Jiannan's wine jar was empty, there was still a lot of wine in his wine jar, so he was reluctant to throw it away just now.

Liu Jiannan was stunned for a while, took a sip of the wine, and praised loudly: "Good wine, good words!" But between his expressions, he was still depressed.

Zhang Xuanqing smiled: "Actually, if you don't say it, we also know that your parents should have died in an accident, right? The three people we met last time were your enemies?"

"Why are you ......" Liu Jiannan turned his head in shock, and suddenly reacted again, his face full of bitterness: "I almost forgot, you are Taoist priests, you can pinch and calculate, how can this matter be hidden from you." ”

Zhang Xuanqing shrugged, didn't deny or admit it: "Do you mind telling me?"

The two of them have been straight to each other from beginning to end today, without saying anything about Dao Chang and Brother Liu, just like two friends chatting.

A few months is enough time to develop a certain friendship.

Liu Jiannan was silent for a long time, and finally nodded, and said: "Liu Chongwang is my father......"

At the beginning, Zhang Xuanqing didn't react, who was Liu Chongwang? Then he suddenly remembered the "sword immortal" that Yuan Tiangang had said that day.

According to Yuan Tiangang, after Liu Chongwang's death, the five tigers of Jizhou disappeared, and Liu Chongwang's righteous brother Dadao Wang Wu no longer set foot in the rivers and lakes. Now that the five tigers of Jizhou are dead, Liu Jiannan did not deny that the five tigers of Jizhou are his enemies just now, but he has never shown a great revenge from beginning to end. I think that the real murderer is someone else, and the most suspicious one is the big sword king five.

Sure enough, Liu Jiannan poured a sip of wine and said hatefully: "Originally, I thought that the five tigers of Jizhou poisoned my father and killed my father, but later I learned that it was Wang Wu who poisoned him, and the five tigers of Jizhou had already been accepted by him as his subordinates. If I hadn't traveled abroad at my father's behest, he would have killed me. But even so, I was deceived by him, and united with the Five Tigers of Jizhou to give me the game, and almost let me die under his hands. I hate my father for treating him as a younger brother, but he plotted against my father's fairy sword and the art of the sword......"

"Your father is really a sword immortal, and he knows the art of sword control?" Zhang Xuanqing was shocked when he didn't grasp the key point for the first time.

Originally, in this situation, they should comfort and comfort others first. However, Liu Jiannan didn't blame him, sighed deeply, and shook his head with a wry smile: "I don't know, I really don't know." Isn't it ridiculous that when you are a son, you don't know whether your father's fame skills are true or false?"

"Uh......" Zhang Xuanqing didn't know how to comfort the other party for a while.

Liu Jiannan didn't wait for him to be comforted, poured a sip of wine, and said: "But Wang Wu, he must know, and besides, he must have gotten something from my father, otherwise he will definitely not disappear in the past few years." With my ability, it is not enough for him to be so jealous, there must be something that has shackled him. I remember when my father had just died, he tested me with a short fight that my father always carried, and I guess there must be a relationship between the two......

Short battle?

Zhang Xuanqing was a little confused, and thought he had heard it wrong. But at this time, his head was a little heavy, it should be because he had just played chess with Yuan Tiangang, and his mind was too depleted. I didn't ask any questions.

I listened to Liu Jiannan chattering for a while, and I couldn't remember what he said. I only remember that Liu Jiannan said that it was enough and went down, but he couldn't help being sleepy and tired, so he simply lay down on the roof and fell asleep.

When I woke up, I had returned to modern time and space.

......

Bang bang bang, bang –

"It's time to get up, get up, open the door for me. Early in the morning, Zhang Xuanqing was awakened by a series of knocks on the door.

"It's coming, it's coming. He said yes as he got dressed. When I opened the door, there was the landlord's eldest sister standing outside the door.

"Why is it so slow, is there someone hiding in the house?" said the landlady, pulling him away, walking into the house, and looking around.

The corners of Zhang Xuanqing's mouth twitched: "How can it, you see that there is just such a room, how can you hide people?" paused, and said: "Sister is here to collect rent, right? You wait for a while, I'll get you money......"

"No need!" But the landlord stopped him: "I came today to inform you, I have rented this place to someone else, you can move out today." ”

"What, eldest sister, you're making trouble, I'm renting it well, why are you renting it to someone else. Zhang Xuanqing was very angry, very angry.

The landlord's eldest sister squinted at him, very calm: "Didn't you say it last month, I want to rent out, you can pack up your things and get out immediately." ”

Zhang Xuanqing: "......"

He seemed to remember that the landlord's eldest sister wanted to raise the rent last month, and he talked about it, saying that it was so expensive that no one would rent it, and if someone really rented it, he would leave, and prevaricated the eldest sister.

Right now...... it!
