Chapter 93 Chessboard
In the silent crypt, there was nothing but a stone platform in the middle, two stone benches and two boxes of chess pieces.

Zhou Yu approached.

On the stone platform, there were carved chessboard lines that seemed to be many years old. Different from the chessboards Zhou Yu had seen, this carved chessboard was not a common [-]-way chessboard.

But the vertical and horizontal 21 road.

You know, on Earth, the chessboard in the Han and Wei dynasties was the Seventeenth Road,
After many years of development, the most suitable nineteen-way chessboard has evolved. The current ancient chess game is actually a vertical and horizontal twenty-one-way chessboard?
Zhou Yu is not very proficient in Go, but with the ability of the eye of emptiness, he can try and make mistakes step by step.

Zhou Yu sat down.

The stone bench was quite cool, and it was surprisingly clean without any dust.

Touching the cold chess piece, Zhou Yu's thoughts began to unfold.

【ding~】

coming! coming!
The hidden mission is here!

[Congratulations on triggering the hidden mission: The Millennium Zhenlong Chess Game! 】

[In front of your eyes is an unfinished chess game from thousands of years ago. Time has passed and the person who played the chess is no longer there, but the game is not yet finished.You will hold the sunspots in your hand and replace the ancients to complete this Zhenlong chess game. 】

[There are three results of the chess game:]

【It's okay to lose, there are always regrets in the world.Reward: None]

[Ping, harmony between heaven and earth, rotation of black and white, and the same light in the common world.Reward: 20 Gems of the Earth. 】

【Victory, stirring up the chess game, there is life in the midst of catastrophe, and the lack of a thousand years turns into clouds and smoke.Reward: 100 Earth Gems, Hidden Achievement: Tian Yuan in Chess]

[Do you accept the hidden mission? 】

Yes!
Of course it is!

Must accept!

There is no penalty for failure,

Once he wins, with 100 geocentric gems, Zhou Yu will wake up laughing from his dreams!
Take the mission!

[Congratulations, you have successfully received the hidden mission: The Millennium Zhenlong Chess Game]

[Please start your performance! 】

The empty chessboard in front of me has condensed pieces one by one. The black and white endgame is like a battlefield that has been stalemate for a long time. Gathering six is ​​extremely complicated.

For a moment, Zhou Yu's eyes were dazed.

Looking up to the opposite side, as if in the dark, I saw the ancestors before history. It was a kind old man with gray hair. And cute kids.

He has a fairy body and an open mind.

A throw of the chess piece in the hand decides the common people in the chess game.

The world is a big chessboard, and the chessboard is a small world.

[Please note that you only have one chance, please place the ball within [-] seconds, if the timeout expires, it will be judged negative. 】

【No regrets! 】

Zhou Yu fixed his eyes on the chess game in front of him.

Obviously, this is not a game of equal chess strength.

"I'll go, it's really not easy for Heizi to collapse to this extent!"

"What? I'm a sunspot?"

"Can this be saved?"

Zhou Yu felt very powerless.

He doesn't know much about Go, but even a layman, looking at the endgame in front of him, knows that black is powerless.

It collapsed and there was no way to turn around.

"Eye of empty consciousness, help me quickly?"

"Where is it?"

"Seventeen out of ten?"

"No, seventeen out of ten will die. Once the ball is made, the game will end!"

Zhou Yu's left eye was filled with golden light,

Every time a chess piece falls, he can see the outcome in advance.

But even so, he also felt an inexplicable panic.

"Don't panic, don't panic, there are still so many vacancies on the chessboard, one by one with the eye of empty knowledge, I will fight for a hundred gems today! Three hundred seconds is enough!"

"Eighteen out of ten? No way!"

"Seven to sixteen? No, you will die!"

……

……

……

Zhou Yu tried and made mistakes over and over again.

The golden light in his eyes flowed like clouds, and the old man in front of him was kind and loving, looking at him quietly, without any urging or dissatisfaction.

It seems that this is not a chess game.

It is an afternoon leisure, a game surrounded by children and grandchildren.

Time goes by little by little,
The last hundred seconds left.

The evolved Eye of Empty Sense has completely predicted the outcome of each move during this period of time.

But no matter where the sunspot landed, the ending was not satisfactory.

A draw is a luxury.

It is simply impossible to win chess.
The gap between the two is like that between an egg and a stone.

"No matter where this word falls, you will lose."

"What the hell kind of mission is this?"

"A mission that must be lost? The Internet of Things is too tricky!"

"No, no, there must be something wrong!"

During this period of time, Zhou Yu has tried every possibility of all black chess.

The result given by the Eye of Empty Sense is very simple, they will lose.

must lose.

Could it be that this is an impossible task?
Zhou Yu began to think.

Maybe, this is a test of his intelligent brain.

wrong!

If it is a chess game that must be defeated, it is impossible to present it to the player as a task. Since there is a reward for winning, then there must be a point of victory in this task.

Maybe the key lies in the situation outside the chessboard.

The situation a thousand years ago.

Zhou Yu raised his head and looked at the illusive old man in front of him.

The old man in front of him also looked at Zhou Yu, his eyes seemed to span a thousand years, and his eyes were still so loving after a thousand years.

The old man's chess skills are strong.

On the other hand, the sunspots on the chessboard are like young children, every step is disorderly,

Like a naughty boy when he was a child, pestering the adults at home, he must play a game of chess and chat to relieve boredom.

Maybe, this is a chess game where the elders play with their children.For some reason, in the end, it was a pity that it was not completed for a thousand years.

Therefore, this game of chess became the old man's heart disease.

His soul moved to this chessboard, becoming a chess soul that has been gathering for a long time.

So, it's pitiful.

Is winning or losing really that important?
Perhaps, the old man in front of him just wanted to find someone to accompany him through this game of chess.

It fulfilled the unfinished dream of an old man and a child.

Winning or losing may not be that important.

Zhou Yu observed with his eyes and pondered in his mind.

This is from the subtle observation of the eye of emptiness, which sums up such an experience from every movement, every movement, and every look of the blurred old man in front of him.

The outcome of this game is really not that important.

What really matters is the thousand-year feelings and the thousand-year regret.

As long as I help the old man complete this regret, then the task will be completed.

in this way,

Then raise the chess pieces and make a decision!

"Seventeen out of ten!"

Zhou Yu holds the sunspots in chess,

Drop a child.

Between vertical and horizontal, the situation on the chessboard is clear.

If the old man makes another move, this chess game will come to an end.

Zhou Yu also lost.

Zhou Yu raised his head and looked at the old man in front of him.

The old man looked kindly and looked at him.

As if looking at his young grandson, acting like a baby to him mischievously, he must pull this elderly man to complete a game of leisure between the chessboard in the afternoon.

Moreover, you can't beat him yet.

The old man looked at the chessboard,

smiled.

He looked at the fallen child.

The demeanor is full of doting.

Chess with two hands, two chess pieces.

on the chessboard.

he,
admit defeat.
