Dialogue between ancient and modern: I create programs, national treasures have spirits

Chapter 219 Playing Chess, Chess

Although I don't know how well-informed and accurate An Xuanye's information channel is, I think it must be more accurate than a little girl's. Although the difference is not much, it is particularly noteworthy.

For example, the relationship between Li Bai and Du Fu can be said to be both a teacher and a friend. Li Bai once taught Du Fu organ skills. Although it was a relationship between friends, Du Fu was talented and intelligent.

Of course, the swordsmanship that Li Bai was so proud of was naturally taught to him, but it was a pity that the Caotang Poetic Saint was not very knowledgeable in this aspect, and was far less thorough than the mechanical skills.

After Li Bai passed away, Du Fu buried him in a treasure land with excellent geomantic omen. As for Li Bai's most proud swordsmanship, it was placed in another place, that is, in the North Ridge. Swordsmanship cannot be obtained by mediocre people. Du Fu combined mechanism techniques and poetry to create all kinds of dangerous mechanisms. If you are not careful, you will die in them.

Anyone who comes to Jiangdu, as long as they hear the story of Li Bai's treasure, will be excited to go inside and find out. However, in these thousands of years, no one who can pass the test has been seen, and most of them have. Those Jianghu people who were lucky enough to survive under the Poetic Sage's mechanism never talked about Li Bai's treasure from then on.

There are also some ambitious people who hold great power and want to drive the army to dig, but in the North Ridge, the terrain is complex, the situation is changeable, and there are creatures such as jackals, tigers, leopards, snakes and insects, who want to drive the army to win It's not easy to talk about it cleverly, not to mention that when the army sets out, it will inevitably pass through Jiangdu. The owner of Jiangdu does not have such a big heart to accept a huge army.

Over and over again, Li Bai's treasure is still buried in Beiling. For a long time, due to the natural environment and the existence of Jiangdu, only scattered people from the world have gone there. After 200 years ago, in order to avoid trouble and avoid dead spots, People, the Wang family, who was the lord of Jiangdu at the time, established the so-called Taibai Poetry Society. Only the winners were qualified to pass through Jiangdu to the treasure-hiding place in Beiling.

As for not going through Jiangdu, that's easy, you only need to climb over some mountains, but the danger is even more terrifying. If you are not careful, you will be buried in the jungle. Therefore, the reputation of Taibai Poetry Association in Jiangdu is getting louder and louder. , the participants were not only people from the world of martial arts, but also many talented people and scholars.

Although Daliang puts emphasis on martial arts and despise literature, there are still many literati, and above the court are still divided into civil and military. However, due to the influence of the general environment, the writing style of many literati is probably very iron-blooded, and that kind of small freshness does not occupy the upper class. Yes, but not many people like it.

However, as a way out that can be chosen, and it is a good way out, studying is still the choice of many people who are unable to achieve success in martial arts, not to mention that literati also have their own path. Ingenuity and victory, literati are at the top level, compared to martial arts, that is not much better.

Just like in martial arts, Guan Yu is the only one who has become a saint, but among the literati, not to mention Confucius and Mencius, even poetry and books have also ascended to the holy throne.Therefore, there are poet saints, painting saints, and calligrapher saints in the world. But how often have you heard of sword saints and sword saints? Even Li Bai was only called the swordsman.

It can be seen that at the end of the day, scholars are also existences that should not be underestimated. What makes them powerful is not their powerful force, but their control over the entire world. It is nothing more than power and money, but it is precisely these two words that have stumped so many heroes.

The literati attended the meeting, probably not for the so-called treasure of Li Bai. Although the name of Qinglian Sword Immortal has a strong status in the Jianghu, but in the eyes of literati, it is nothing more than that, no matter how strong?Can it withstand thousands of troops?This Taibai Poetry Club has been sung for 200 years. Except for a few Jianghu people who are indeed the legendary martial arts cheats, most of the rest are just to join in the fun, and there are also many literary talents who are determined. At the poetry meeting, he became famous and shocked everyone with his skills, so as to fight for a future for himself.

If he can get the appreciation of the literati at the Taibai Poetry Meeting, then his reputation will naturally spread. If he is a little bit lucky, he will be favored by Gui Yibo Mansion. Practice hard, after all, the imperial examination examines more than just poetry, and it is quite difficult to come out on top in the imperial examination.

In the inn, there were quite a lot of people coming and going. Apart from those merchants who were in a hurry and walking, there were also many students in Tsing Yi, with white ribbons tied in buns, and folding fans in their hands, not to fan the wind to dissipate heat. It's the talents of scholars. After they come, they often talk about poems and songs. They talk about who has recently written a good work and has a great reputation. Although these people are dressed in green clothes and white scarves, they look It looks suave and suave, it seems a bit out of the world, but in fact it is still contaminated with the habits of businessmen, and it is still for the word money.

But it’s no wonder that if you don’t seek wealth by studying, you will starve to death sooner or later. Not to mention the glorious lintel that has been passed down for thousands of years, it’s just to make life easier for your family. With a reputation, not to mention the green clothes and white scarves, it has to be changed.

Literati students, the silk scarves on their heads are not something that can be worn casually. In ancient times, the imperial examinations were divided into high and low ranks. A literati student like this without fame can only wear a scarf on his head. For a white silk scarf, even the clothes can’t have too many patterns and colors, you can only choose plain clothes, the so-called plain clothes are clothes with monotonous colors, not to mention patterns and patterns, even the colors can’t exceed two.

After passing the imperial examination, becoming a scholar or even juren, there will be more patterns, and the patterns and patterns on the clothes will become more complicated, so the status of the literati is quite easy to distinguish, just look at the color of the clothes. There is no such thing as a swollen face to pretend to be a fat man, not to mention none at all, but often revealing his true talents and learning in his mouth, and he is ridiculed for no reason.

The scholars and students downstairs chatted happily, and Lu Ze, who was watching the scenery upstairs, was also enjoying himself. As a martial artist, hearing and eyesight are naturally the most basic skills, so even if this guest battle is not quiet, Lu Ze can still listen I got a lot of accurate news, although most of them are useless, but it is also suitable for killing time.

The Taibai Poetry Club has been around for a long time. Although Lu Ze is a person who can endure loneliness, it is inevitable that he wants to go out for such a lively scene. However, the main street is too philistine after all, and Lu Ze only wants to go there once. Let’s go again, I’ve seen this kind of scene a lot in the previous life. People in this world see it as a rare prosperity, but in Lu Ze’s view, it’s just a weakened version of the previous life’s Demon City, which is really nothing new. It's better to find a secluded place and watch the old men having fun playing chess and chatting.

Lu Ze still knows some things like chess, Go, backgammon, etc. The way cleaners train their minds involves some of them. His skills are not that good, but they are not incomprehensible, but at this time, Go must be available. , it is not yet clear whether the rules of chess are as clear as those of later generations. After all, Go is a gentleman's study, and literati naturally prefer it. However, chess is inevitably contaminated with murderous spirit, and its evolution will naturally be much slower. As for backgammon... Mr. Lu Ze I think this is too childish in the eyes of a real master. Of course, playing together in your free time is also a good way to spend time.

After leaving the inn and inquiring about the location, Wei'er was still following. As Lu Ze's personal maid, Wei'er has always been inseparable, and she is responsible for some trivial matters. Do it for me.

There are many people who don't want to go to Zhengjie (commercial street). Literati and scholars rarely go to these philistine places. Although some want to go, they will reluctantly give up for the sake of face. As for the romantic places on this street, they are probably not there for them. These self-respecting literati prepare generally higher-grade romances. Naturally, they must be located in a place with a suitable environment. Otherwise, if they are built in a busy city, they will really become meat sellers. They are too tacky and how can they attract rich young men? Son.

Therefore, most of the high-grade buildings are built along the river, and many people with strong family backgrounds will also choose to build a small courtyard by the river.

Jianghe is naturally another prosperous place in Jiangdu.

It's just that this prosperity is not the prosperity of business travel, but the prosperity with a bit of dusty atmosphere in the purity.

The river is mighty, running through the entire Jiangdu. There are many people on both sides of the river. Naturally, there are lively and not lively places. Naturally, there are many people in busy places, but most of the people who come and go are rich and talented people, so it doesn’t seem noisy. , The place that is not lively has a unique flavor.

Naturally, Lu Ze can't go to those places that are too prosperous. Although he is old this year and his body is mature, he has seen many extravagant scenes in his previous life, so he doesn't have much urgency for these. I can't take it with me, so I can only come to this not very lively street for a walk.

The environment beside the river is naturally good. Silk ribbons hang down from the willow trees on the river bank, and the temples are combed in the water. Because it is located in a remote place, there are not many shops, only some tea stalls and vegetable vendors, who are mostly doing what the people around them do. business, and on the stone steps extending into the river, you can still see some women beating their clothes, talking and laughing.

The shore is not narrow enough to pass four horses. Because there are not many people coming and going, there is a dull greenness in the gaps between the stone slabs. Near the tea stalls, you can always see a few tables and a few old people, each with frost on their temples. Hale and hearty, talk there.

Lu Ze ordered a pot of tea, sat down with Wei'er, and just watched quietly. As the saying goes, a true gentleman watches chess without saying a word. It was quite interesting to watch these old men playing chess. They were all courteous and courteous. You could tell at a glance that they were... For those who are educated, looking at the purple hairband on their heads, this must be at least a Tanhua. Beside this inconspicuous tea stall, the Tanhua has some signs of burrowing. If a literati who has just entered the official career sees it, he will still look at it. You should be respectfully called teacher.

The tea at the tea stall is very average. It has a rather bitter taste in your mouth. Fortunately, it is not broken tea, so your mouth will not be full of broken foam. A tricky person like Wei'er will not drink it after just one sip. That is to say, Lu Zesheng was not shy and enjoyed the reward after suffering. Although it was ordinary, playing chess with the old man naturally had a special flavor.

After watching chess for an afternoon and eating a full stomach of tea, Lu Ze took Wei'er back to the inn when it was time for dinner. Although it was normal in the previous life not to return home this night, it is obviously not applicable now. It was those old men who couldn't bear it anymore.

After returning to the inn, after dinner, Lu Ze had nothing to do, so he asked Weier to get some wood. Learning Go is difficult, and Weier may not be able to learn it, but this simple chess game can still be reproduced. one time.

People who practice martial arts don't talk about ingenuity, but they still have control. It took half an hour for Lu Ze to carve a chess set out of tofu, and then he built a chessboard. After explaining the rules to Wei Er , The two caught up and fought each other.

However, Wei'er is obviously less thoughtful in this regard, and she always thinks of her son as the most important thing, so those who are timid when making moves often lose their chances. Lu Ze is also quite helpless, so he moves the chessboard , directly into An Xuanye's room.

Naturally, he knocked on the door first.

Otherwise, entering a woman's room at night would really be misleading, and Lu Ze didn't want to have multiple holes in his body.

An Xuanye frowned when she saw Lu Ze coming in with a bunch of things. There was doubt in his sharp eyes: "Is the Crown Prince asking me to play Go? I'm afraid I will disappoint the Crown Prince. I'm not good at this."

"It's not Go!"

Lu Ze put down the chessboard, and a few naughty chess pieces jumped out, and some of them rolled down on the ground. After picking it up, An Xuanye took a closer look, and asked in surprise: "Is this an elephant show? It's not quite like it."

"To be precise, there is a connection."

Lu Ze set up the chessboard, and then put the pieces one by one, and explained how to play chess with An Xuanye.

"So that's it. Although it is somewhat similar to the Xiang Opera, it is quite different. Where did the prince get it?"

"Watching the old man play chess in the afternoon, I didn't think it was fun, so I messed around with it myself. It was originally with Weier, but Weier was timid, which made it even more unpleasant, so I had no choice but to disturb General An."

Lu Ze explained vaguely. As for whether An Xuanye believed it or not, he was naturally not worried, and he couldn't prove it anyway.

"This is interesting, and it has the meaning of a sand table in the army."

An Xuanye remembered the rules very clearly and asked some more important questions, and then the two began to fight each other.

Compared with Go, chess is easier to get started, and there are fewer restrictions on the rules. Naturally, it doesn't take much effort to become proficient, but if you want to win every battle, it obviously takes a lot of effort.
