Sword comes

At dawn, Chen Pingan had just finished practicing the Tiandizhuan, and the sleepy Pei Qian knocked on the door outside, and went to open the door. Chen Pingan saw a black-tan girl with a sluggish look. It seemed that Cui Dongshan's kind reminder last night made Pei Qian Qian was so frightened that Chen Ping asked her to sleep in her own room. If Pei Qian was granted amnesty, she fell asleep and helped Pei Qian cover the quilt. Although the alchemy book he wrote was about the process of alchemy, it was after all the unique secret book of Yuanying monks. He had many exquisite insights into the Dao. Every time Chen Pingan calmed down to study it, he would gain something. Character.

The inn is shabby, with two or three meals a day, all of which need to be settled by the travelers themselves. From the shopkeeper to the clerk, they are all aggressive. When Chen Pingan and his group checked in, they saw the inn swearing at a group of traveling merchants. They dislike each other, but Chen Ping'an has Cui Dongshan, Lu Baixiang and Sui Youyou three people to take care of the place, and the inn is relatively more popular for watching dishes and dishes, and he actively recommends a few local delicacies.

Chen Pingan went out together with Pei Qian, who had made up for the sleep, and brought a copy after breakfast. He did not return to the house, but at the door of the inn, he told Pei Qian to bring the food to Cui Dongshan and the others, and asked her to tell him They were going to stay in the county for two days, and he wanted to walk around alone. Naturally, Pei Qian was happy to rest for two days. There was no need to hurry, which meant no boring six-step walking, which was very beautiful.

When Chen Pingan was wandering alone in the county, Cui Dongshan and the four of them took the breakfast that Pei Qian had brought back, and they met for dinner. Cui Dongshan was grateful and said that this was the husband who was helping the students to check for omissions and fill in the vacancies. Where can I find a gentleman who is generally considerate of students.Pei Qian didn't dare to talk back, but only dared to slander her. It's obvious that she doesn't trust you in doing things, okay?

After eating breakfast, Cui Dongshan was in a good mood, and smiled at Pei Qian: "Would you like to have a little gamble on Five Men Connect, if you win or lose, it's just a copper coin, how about it?"

Pei Qian had played five-piece renju, it was a little trick Lu Baixiang taught her, the rules were simple, Pei Qian often pulled Wei Xian, borrowed Lu Baixiang's pier pieces, and fought on the chessboard in a dark and dark way. Back, compared to the dull and boring game between Lu Baixiang and Sui Youyou, Pei Qian and Wei Xian played very lively. When they made moves, they crackled one by one, full of momentum, and wished to smash a hole in the chessboard. Lu Baixiang regretted it.

Playing against Wei Xian, a stinky chess basket, Pei Qian wins more than he loses, and he likes to get carried away when he has the upper hand, and regrets the game when he loses. Fortunately, Wei Xian doesn't care much about the outcome and the quality of the game.

Now when Cui Dongshan said that she wanted to play chess, Pei Qian shook her head vigorously, she was not stupid, even though Cui Dongshan said that she wanted to learn how to play chess from Lu Baixiang, but Pei Qian is really really good at such a by-the-top path like five sons junju I don't have the confidence to win money. After all, there are very few fools with elm bumps like Old Wei in the world.

Cui Dongshan smiled and said: "We play chess, you and I, as the disciples of the master, of course we can't hurt the slightest peace, whoever loses wins the money"

Pei Qian's eyes lit up, he could win a penny after losing a game of chess, there is such a beautiful thing in the world

So in Pei Qian's house, Lu Baixiang brought chess sets, and Cui Dongshan and Pei Qian, a pair of classmates who hadn't clearly distinguished their seniority for the time being, played five-son renju, which was suspected of ruining the chessboard.

The four picture scrolls watched the chess with a tacit understanding.

Pei Qian made random moves, and the two chess pieces were separated by hundreds of thousands of miles.Cui Dongshan also played without rules, sometimes following Pei Qian's buttocks, and sometimes one each in the southeast and northwest, playing some rough entry-level Go patterns, it seemed that Pei Qian had a greater chance of losing, but it was just that When the space on the chessboard became narrower and narrower, Pei Qian was both distressed and surprised to find that it was getting easier and easier for her to play five pieces in a row. When the chessboard was full of jagged black and white pieces, Pei Qian actually won. The heroic scene of five sons in a row.

Just like this, he lost a penny in such a grievous way, Pei Qian regretted his intestines, and wished he could eat the chessboard, regretting the chess.She just glanced at Cui Dongshan, who was eating melon seeds with his legs crossed, and she didn't dare to play tricks.

Cui Dongshan squinted at the chess game, and said regretfully: "I lose one move, and I lose one move. It seems that my luck in gambling is slightly better than yours. Otherwise, if we play again, if you dislike a chessboard, you will not be able to show your chess skills to the fullest. We can add one, two or three more chessboards, but every time you add a pair of chess, you have to add a copper coin to the bet. As for me, as long as I win a chess game, I will pay you out of my pocket immediately, but you can add chessboards at will until As long as you lose and win, it’s fair.”

Pei Qian hesitated and said, "But there's no room for two chessboards on the table."

Cui Dongshan pointed to the ground, "Let's play chess on the ground, what are you afraid of, there are too many chessboards, you can go down to the corridor outside the house, right? Anyway, the more chessboards, the more money you win. I know you have a good memory, so do I. Let’s make do, let’s ask Lu Baixiang or Sui Youyou to borrow two pieces of charcoal from the inn, then I will use charcoal to draw the chessboard, so we don’t need chess pieces, and if anyone remembers it wrong, it will be regarded as a loss.”

Pei Qian turned his head and glanced at Old Wei. Wei Xian probably felt that this way of begging to lose was too crazy, so he left directly, and Zhu Lian even rolled his eyes and left the room.

On the contrary, two chess masters who used to be Ouhua Blessed Land's national players, Lu Baixiang really went to borrow charcoal and returned, Sui Youyou looked indifferently standing aside, and the two of them stayed in the room patiently, accompanying the master who was squatting on the ground One big and one small in the same door are messing around.

Pei Qian has a good memory, and Chen Pingan and the four of them have already known it well, which can be said to be outstanding. This kind of innate talent, whether it is Chen Pingan, or Lu Baixiang, who is excellent in chess and familiar with replays, is ashamed of himself. Not as good.

So after using up the two boxes of chess pieces, Pei Qian and Cui Dongshan competed not only for who was more shameless, but also for memory.

Two other chessboards have been drawn with charcoal on the ground. If Pei Qian didn't add another one, he would still win, so he had to ask Cui Dongshan to draw another one.

Lu Baixiang left the room silently, followed by Sui Youyou.

In the corridor, Sui Youyou asked, "Can you see the depth?"

Lu Baixiang shook his head and said, "Five Men's Connect is too simple, and if you draw ten more chessboards, Pei Qian still can't test the strength of this person's chess."

Sui Youyou asked: "If you stop hiding and choose to do your best, how far is the gap between us?"

Lu Baixiang smiled and said: "To be honest, you probably can't make me play Tejin chess."

The so-called Tesuji refers to the clever moves on the chessboard, which are often produced in evenly matched and fiercely fought chessboard situations. Solving orphans and slaying dragons are prone to such immortal moves.

The implication of Lu Baixiang's words is that he only needs to follow the steps step by step, "laying chess" all the way like a bricklayer, and he can win Sui Youyou steadily.

On the right side of Sui, there is no anger of feeling humiliated. The level of chess strength on the chessboard is really determined there. During this journey, he often plays chess with Lu Baixiang. The right side of Sui is either a pusher or a thrower. He is the world's best Go player , almost never say "I lost", but pushing the scales and throwing the ball are two kinds of silent surrender.Although Sui Youyou was very determined to win or lose, she regarded it as a leisurely way to talk about it. Winning or losing would not affect the way of swords far more than chess, so Sui Youyou could still afford to lose.

Moreover, according to the "Chess World of Later Generations" that Zhu Lian accidentally talked about, all countries in Ouhua Blessed Land are waiting for edicts and top national players. There will still be some differences among modern chess masters of various schools, but if the top three are selected from the history of Ouhua Fudi, Lu Baixiang will definitely have a place.It can be seen that Lu Baixiang has a high reputation on the chessboard.

The remaining two people, one is Wang Jiyuan who is known as the eternal chess master, and the other is "Huang" who was later confirmed to be a banished immortal. Relying on the great prestige of his sect and his invincible chess power, this person abolished the seat system, which created a watershed in the chess world of Ouhua Fudi. From then on, it was divided into the ancient chess school and the new chess school. Wang Jiyuan was 60 years younger than Huang. , Huang disappeared when he was seventy years old, so the two never had a chance to talk about a hand-to-hand game. Regarding the superiority and inferiority of the three-player chess in different eras, the later generations of chess masters quarreled fiercely. Lu Baixiang is undoubtedly The pinnacle of the ancient chess school, Wang Jiyuan is the pinnacle of the new chess school. He is not qualified to sit on an equal footing with the ancient chess sage Wang Jiyuan, but the chess master who has studied the ancient chess records has threatened that as long as Lu Baixiang is familiar with the new chess school for three or two months, before he goes to play against Wang Jiyuan, it is nothing more than an extra bow. In short, there are different opinions. Since there has been no national player with roughly the same chess strength as the three of them, and no one has given a fair evaluation that is enough to convince the public, it is destined to become a fruitless debate on the level of the three of them. unsolved case.

Sui Youyou suddenly said: "Don't lose to that person."

Lu Baixiang smiled slightly and said, "Let's wait and see."

In Pei Qian's house, Cui Dongshan was squatting on the ground eating melon seeds, Pei Qian was wrinkled and wanted to cry.

She's about to lose six coppers.

Cui Dongshan comforted: "The charcoal pen is still enough, the outcome is uncertain, just draw another one, the big bet wins big."

Pei Qian raised her arm and wiped her eyes, took out the sachet that Aunt Gui gave as a money bag from her sleeve, and took out seven copper coins from it. These were all her hard-earned money. Standing up hesitantly, he put it lightly on the table, looked at the guy surnamed Cui pitifully, hoping that he would show his fairy demeanor and walk away, never thought that Cui Dongshan walked to the table with a smile, stretched out his hand, and the copper coin disappeared Now, Cui Dongshan walked towards the door of the house, turned around and reminded with a smile: "Remember to return the chess set to Lu Baixiang, and wipe off the traces on the ground, otherwise, if Chen Pingan finds out that we gambled money, it will be too late." Call me bloody, and then let you copy books until you break your arm, as for the money, I am willing to bet, Chen Pingan will not help you get it back."

Cui Dongshan clasped the back of his head with both hands, and walked away swaggeringly, "Today is really a good day, I earned money and went out to buy candied haws."

Pei Qian stood by the table, crying miserably.

Cui Dongshan suddenly backed away, leaned back, stuck out his head, and said with a smile: "Pei Qian, I want to learn how to play chess from Lu Baixiang, just to make a good omen, every time you call me a chess fairy , I will give you a penny."

Pei Qian's eyes lit up, and he ran out of the threshold, Pidianpidian followed Cui Dongshan, and called out Chess Fairy attentively.

In less than an hour, apart from returning the chess set to Lu Baixiang and calling Chess Fairy over and over again, Pei Qian was already hoarse, and the two returned to her room, Pei Qian was babbling, she couldn't say a word, she She stretched out her hand to ask for it with a bright smile on her face. Seeing that Cui Dongshan didn't respond, she quickly wrote a number on the table.

Cui Dongshan smiled and said, "I'm lying to you. You really believe it."

Pei Qian collapsed, unable to speak, and could only bark his teeth and claws.

Cui Dongshan narrowed his eyes, and reached out to poke Pei Qian's eyes, "Talk on, you will not only become a little dumb for a while, but you will also become blind. No matter how angry Chen Pingan is, he can't beat me to death as a student, but you What a pity, I became a little blind man, what hope is there in this life, isn't that the reason?"

Cui Dongshan stood up, pretending to be blind and reaching out to fumble around.

Pei Qian's face was dark, her lips were pursed, and she didn't dare to pick up the trekking stick and beat this bastard to death. The more she thought about it, the more desperate she became, her expression was dull, she sat down on the edge of the bed, her heart was ashamed, and her tears were like rain.

Cui Dongshan suddenly took out something in the shape of a silver ingot from his sleeve, and lightly tossed it to Pei Qian, "Seeing how interesting you are, I will lend you a few days to play. If I succeed in learning chess, maybe I will give it to you when I am in a good mood. But when I play chess with Lu Baixiang, remember to pay me back first."

Holding the heavy silver ingot in both hands, Pei Qian burst into tears and laughed.

Cui Dongshan left again.

Pei Qian put the big silver ingot on the table, looked horizontally and vertically, left and right, never tired of watching it, and was thinking about how to keep this silver ingot in her hand in a different way, when she suddenly widened her eyes, and saw " "Silver Ingot" started to wriggle, and then turned into a snow-white grasshopper. It jumped towards the window and disappeared. After Pei Qian came back to his senses, he immediately climbed up the window and jumped down. , I began to search hard for the "silver ingot" in the backyard. I searched for half an hour in the weeds, the roots of the wall, and the gaps in the stones. Finally, I began to dig the ground with my hands. Pei Qian was exhausted and sat blankly in the mud, this time he didn't even have the energy to cry.

When Chen Ping returned from the Confucian Temple and returned to the inn, he saw Pei Qian's sad and thin back, and she didn't respond to several calls.

Chen Pingan had no choice but to jump out from the window sill. Pei Qian turned his head stiffly, and when he saw Chen Pingan, he drooped his head and clutched the corners of his clothes tightly with both hands.

Chen Pingan sighed, went back to the house, went directly to Cui Dongshan, stood at the window soon, and shouted to Pei Qian: "Seven copper coins, if you have the ability, you can win it back yourself, if you can't win it, you will admit defeat, but Cui Dongshan You can play with Dongshan’s silver ingot called Chongyin, but whenever he says he wants to take it back, you still have to do it.”

Although Pei Qian was still heartbroken, Ma Liuer stood up, climbed onto the window sill, jumped on the ground, cupped his hands, and carefully took the "worm silver" that had returned to its silver ingot shape.

Chen Ping grabbed Pei Qian by the ear, and carried her to the table, "I'm promising, I'm going to gamble with others."

Pei Qian tremblingly sat at the table, covering Chongyin tightly with both hands.

Chen Pingan asked: "I like to gamble so much, then I will give you the treasure box in the bamboo box. Anyway, your family is quite rich now, and you and Cui Dongshan can gamble many times. I will get it for you, or you go on your own"

Pei Qian looked flustered and shook his head vigorously.

Chen Ping patted the table, "Go get the treasure box, I will carry it on my back later"

Pei Qian turned his head fiercely, with a straight face, neither crying nor begging for mercy, nor looking at Chen Pingan nor listening to him.

Chen Pingan was very angry.

Pei Qian gritted his teeth and threw the silver ingot out of the window.

Chen Ping stood up, went to the next room to open the bamboo box, turned out the treasure box, returned to Pei Qian's room, threw it on the table and left.

Unexpectedly, a moment later, just as Chen Pingan drank the medicinal wine in the house, Pei Qian rushed in holding the treasure box, stuffed the treasure box into the bamboo box with lightning speed, and then ran away.

Chen Pingan took out the treasure box again and went to the next door, but Pei Qian had already bolted the door of the house.

Chen Pingan became furious, wishing he could kick open the door and throw this guy and the dropbox outside the inn.

Chen Ping stood outside the door for a moment.

Inside the door, Pei Qian, who had bolted the door, pressed his back against the door, raised his two slender arms, and covered his charcoal-like face with the back of his hands.

On the roof of the inn, the culprit boy in white was lying on his back with his head resting on his arms, with a faint smile.

Lu Baixiang devoted himself to writing notes in the house.

It is very famous in Haoran Tianxia, ​​Caiyun Ten Game, all kinds of chess records derived from it, some people specialize in "hand cutting" Caiyun Game, some people only delve into the exquisite life and death of Caiyun Ten Game, it is said that this game, I don't know how to support it How many wild chess masters who run around the rivers and lakes.

As far as chess is concerned, Lu Baixiang is already invincible in Ouhua Blessed Land. When he first came to Haoran Tianxia, ​​he thinks highly of himself when it comes to chess.The more you delve into it, the more you realize the profound chess strength of both sides of the game. Not to mention the Lord of Baidi City, who is "the first chess player in Fengrao", only an expert who is qualified to play against this giant of magic in the colorful clouds. I lost a lot, but I didn't look at every "backhand" of Baidi City, and I came up with this master's layout alone, every step was wonderful, and I would teach all future generations to feel that there were gusts of wind and thunder. The paper, blowing against the face, makes people suffocate.

So much so that Lu Baixiang worked hard to search and collect most of the chess games played by this expert, and finally came to a conclusion that this person's chess skills can be called "flawless and short-cut". The evaluation is very high, and there are roughly three points. First, it breaks the existing conclusions of the golden horn and silver-edged grass belly with the vision of harming the local situation and seeking the overall situation. However, on the whole, this person deserves the praise of "dilute the spirit and charm, try to be subtle and lofty". The third is that this person created many wonderful ideas such as the big avalanche and the world's first small tip, although after a hundred years, Most of them have been deciphered one by one by chess masters, or they were seen through by the city lord of Baidi City directly in the first ten games of Caiyun. Thinking about it, it feels like this person is not playing the same kind of chess as all the chess players in the world.

The reason why Lu Baixiang lost to the city lord of Baidi City can only be said that his life was at an untimely time, and he happened to meet such a monster who had never been seen before or since, and it was because the latter "already got the way".

Lu Baixiang studied this book over and over again, after much deliberation, he probably could only describe this notorious Confucian master as "no wrong hands, no foolish tricks".

Lu Baixiang once said with a smile to Chen Ping'an that the greatest hope in this life is to visit Baidi City, but deep down in Lu Baixiang's heart, the person he most wants to play chess with is not the Lord of Baidi City, but the former literary sage The "Cui" of the first disciple, Mr. Cui Da.

Lu Baixiang put down the chess record and sighed.

It should be possible to go to Baidi City, sooner or later, but it is quite hopeless to be able to talk to Cui Shou for ten rounds.

Although Cui is now the national teacher of the Dali Dynasty where Chen Pingan's hometown is, but looking at people with chess, one can roughly see that this person has a high spirit. Even if Lu Baixiang sees Cui's face, it is extremely difficult for him to win talk.

Because Lu Baixiang knew that his chess skills were not enough.

It's just that later generations ruined chess because of people, especially Tongyezhou and Baopingzhou, and deliberately lowered the evaluation of this Mr. Cui Da's chess ability a lot.

Lu Baixiang was fascinated by the three heroic words left by this man to future generations.

"It doesn't matter how you go first."

"Official Bureau is to clean the battlefield, whoever says that official is invincible, it's just ridiculous."

"Black chess learns from that horse beating, white chess learns from my Cui, let Ziqi learn from the city lord of Baidi City, those who learn horse beating can learn seven or eight points, those who learn Cui can learn five or six points, and learn from the city lord of Baidi City , Learning is in vain.”

Lu Baixiang took a deep breath, glanced at the chessboard on the table, and was about to get up and look for Cui Dongshan. It is estimated that two out of three games would be the best way to try out this person's strength.

When Lu Baixiang walked out of the house, he found Wei Xian walking back to the house with a strange expression.

Lu Baixiang turned around the corridor and knocked on the door of the room a little further away. Wei Xian stood at the fork and asked, "Looking for Cui Dongshan."

Lu Baixiang nodded.

Wei Xian waved his hand and said, "There's no need to go, this guy also made a bet with Zhu Lian, he has already left the county seat, Sui Youyou followed."

Lu Baixiang wondered, "What are you betting on?"

Wei Xian said: "Cui Dongshan said that he would fight Zhu Lian, as long as Zhu Lian wins, he will give Zhu Lian a present, if Zhu Lian loses, he will give Cui Dongshan supper every day from now on. "

Lu Baixiang smiled and said, "Zhu Lian actually agreed."

Wei Xian hesitated and scratched his head, "Of course Zhu Lian didn't agree at first, after all, Pei Qian was trapped so badly, and Zhu Lian was also afraid of following in the footsteps, but Cui Dongshan said he could stand still. Zhu Lian still didn't nod." , the guy said that he didn't move his hands or feet. Zhu Lian asked him if he was an immortal sword cultivator, and Cui Dongshan said that he was definitely not a sword cultivator. So Zhu Lian agreed, and Sui Youyou followed to watch the excitement."

Only half an hour later, Cui Dongshan returned to the inn with a playful smile, followed by the strange Sui Youyou, and of course the disheveled Zhu Lian.

Zhu Lian went straight to his own room and slammed the door.

Lu Baixiang, who was sitting quietly in the room, didn't ask any more questions. Sui walked into the room on the right side, sat opposite each other, and said to Lu Baixiang: "Cui Dongshan said that he will come to learn chess with you soon."

Lu Baixiang asked with a smile: "How did Zhu Lian lose? Didn't he sneak up and join the Eighth Realm Martial Arts not long ago?"

Sui Youyou said helplessly: "That guy really didn't move at all, it's just that this person has a lot of magic weapons. From the beginning to the end, Zhu Lian couldn't get within ten feet of him, just like walking a dog. It was me who met this person. Also not much better than Zhu Lian."

Lu Baixiang poured a cup of tea for Sui Youyou, but Sui Youyou didn't drink any tea. He shook his head and said, "You guys play chess, I won't watch it."

Lu Baixiang asked with a smile: "Why, I think my chances of winning are not great"

Sui Youyou stood up, "I don't think this person is very good at chess, I just believe in one thing, as long as he bets with others, he seems not likely to lose."

The thing that chilled Zhu Lian the most was that this person stood in the same place and controlled the magic weapons that "emerged endlessly and dazzled" one after another. An ant like you, Zhu Lian, who follows my husband, really only has to cook.

And the thing that made Sui Youyou almost draw a sword was that the guy had said about Zhu Lian, and then squinted at her from the corner of his eye, saying that you are a little better, after all, you are still pretty, my husband might sleep every night. is facing to the right.

Lu Baixiang fell into deep thought, and habitually flipped through that volume after Sui left.

Not long after, the young man in white came to the door in a dawdly manner, eating melon seeds all the way. After entering the door, before he sat down, he saw the chess record that Lu Baixiang had just put in his hand, and said in a daze: "Just look at this thing , learn life and death, chess tendons, fixed formulas and chess theory"

Lu Baixiang asked back: "What's wrong?"

Cui Dongshan sighed, sat down opposite Lu Baixiang, and said with a sad face: "Forget it, I won't learn chess from you."

Lu Baixiang frowned, twisted a chess piece on his fingertips, and asked, "Why?"

Cui Dongshan held the melon seeds cheated from Pei Qian in one hand, stretched out an index finger with his idle hand, pointed at Lu Baixiang casually, then raised his thumb and pointed at himself, "You still follow me!" Let's learn chess."
