Chapter 607 Nine Palace Chess 1

Master Daoyuan unexpectedly rolled his eyes, and said: "I've been watching the old Taoist for so many years, but I haven't seen through fame and fortune. How old are you, and who are you fooling by saying such things?"

Ye Shaoyang smiled awkwardly, scratched his head, and said: "I was seen through by my brother. In fact, I don't want to be promoted to Earth Immortal. The most important thing is... I dare not take this step. I am still a little confused about the 'Tao', or rather, Haven't found my own path yet..."

Master Daoyuan opened his mouth, and just as he was about to speak, Ye Shaoyang quickly waved his hand and said, "Don't ask me what is Dao, and don't discuss Dao with me. It doesn't matter, anyway, my strength is still the same, and the celestial master is more down-to-earth, and it is easier to mix in the world. When I become an earth immortal, I am cautious in doing things, but I can't let go of many things. What's the point, brother, what do you think?"

Master Daoyuan nodded slowly.

Ye Shaoyang cupped his hands at him, and started to talk about business: "Brother, the snake demon you imprisoned, when I went through the catastrophe, I helped a little bit, he is my demon servant, he came here to find me , why did you arrest him?"

Daoyuan Daoyuan didn't wait for Daoyuan to speak, and then said: "Don't say anything about trespassing on the sect, I know that you are not such a petty person, brother."

Daoyuan Daoyuan rolled his eyes and scolded: "You are a good general! I locked up your demon servant, of course to lure you, to lure you, of course to fight!"

"Fighting skills?" Ye Shaoyang grinned, "No, brother, we are not martial arts sects, we are all Taoist disciples, what is there to fight?"

Daoyuan Daoyuan said: "Back then, Qingyunzi made an eight-year agreement with me, saying that he would come to me to fight with me in eight years, and the winner would be the leader of the Taoist sect. Now that the eight-year period has come, this turtle with a shrinking head has disappeared Yes, I have sent people to Xuanqing Mountain to look for him several times, but I have avoided seeing him. I am guarding the Linglong Pagoda, and it is not convenient to find him. It happens that you travel the world on behalf of the master. As long as I defeat you, it is equivalent to defeating your master... ..."

Ye Shaoyang fainted as soon as he heard it, and he is the leader of the martial arts, the leader of Taoism, or something, and he is still competing in martial arts on behalf of his masters. This is such a vulgar stalk. Just as he was about to speak, Master Daoyuan waved his hand and said, "There is one more thing, if you can defeat me, I will tell you."

Ye Shaoyang shook his head listlessly, and said, "Tell me, how do you fight, literary or martial?"

"Let's combine civil and martial arts," Daoyuan Daoyuan said, "the old rules, you and I fight in divination, array, and seal three arrays, and two wins in three rounds."

Divination, array, and seal are all traditional disciplines of Taoism. Among them, divination is divination, and it also includes items such as helping the spirit to break the love. , the power varies greatly.

In addition to divination, array, and seal, there are also three techniques of talisman, medicine, and Kan in Taoism. The latter two are relatively professional and are not as good as fighting. one or more of the symbols.

Ye Shaoyang pondered and thought, it's a pity that this old guy doesn't want to fight with talismans, otherwise he would have a better chance of winning by relying on the magic talisman technique. As for divination... Ye Shaoyang can only hehe.

"Let's do divination first," Daoyuan Daoyuan said, "Let's each set up one object, cover it with another object, and each use spiritual skills to guess what the other party is pressing. What do you think?"

Ye Shaoyang shrugged and said three words: "I abstain."

For a moment, everyone present was stunned, including Zhang Wusheng and Xiaobai.

Xiaobai stepped forward and shook Ye Shaoyang's arm, persuading him: "Boss, cheer up, although he is older than you, you don't have to be afraid of him, at least you can give it a try."

Ye Shaoyang rolled her eyes and said, "What do you know? Divination is the worst thing I am good at. I only learned the basics. Why should I fight with him? Waste of time, abstain. I abstain from this test."

Master Daoyuan smiled and said, "Why not change it to something else?"

"Forget it, there is no absolute fairness in this thing, what about the second level, let's start."

"Follow me." After Daoyuan finished speaking, he turned and walked in the opposite direction.

Ye Shaoyang and others followed all the way to the bottom of a very old-looking pagoda. Ye Shaoyang looked up and saw that the pagoda was very high and became thinner as it reached the top, which inevitably gave people a feeling of towering into the clouds.

"I heard that this exquisite pagoda has thirty-three floors, which symbolizes the thirty-three heavens. Is it true that every floor is imprisoned with ghosts and monsters who have been unable to transcend reincarnation since ancient times?" Ye Shaoyang asked curiously. When I came to Longhu Mountain, I was still young, and I didn't have much interest in Linglong Pagoda.

Master Daoyuan said indifferently: "I'm only responsible for guarding the tower, I haven't been there before, so I don't know."

Ye Shaoyang thought he would be invited into the pagoda by himself, but when he arrived at the Linglong Pagoda, Master Daoyuan led him to a stone table and asked Ye Shaoyang to sit opposite him on the stone bench.

On the stone table, there is a table with four vertical and horizontal lines. After Daoyuan sat down, he said: "Let's play a game of Jiugongge." After speaking, he asked Zhang Wusheng for two compasses.

Zhang Wusheng asked his disciples again, and quickly got two. Daoyuan Daoyuan took it and handed one to Ye Shaoyang. Ye Shaoyang smiled helplessly, and stretched out his hand and said, "Please."

Master Daoyuan took a copper coin and placed it somewhere in the nine grids, then Ye Shaoyang squeezed a copper bean and put it beside it.

The two of you, one for you and one for me, quickly filled up the small grid on the Jiugongge, leaving only one empty space.

Reverend Daoyuan looked at the chessboard, observed for a moment, stretched out his hand to pinch a copper coin near the bottom of the space, moved it up, and said in his mouth: "Shang Qian San."

Ye Shaoyang immediately pressed a copper bean on the left side of the space, moved to the right, and said, "Right to four."

Xiao Bai looked at the two with a frown, and casually pulled a Taoist past him. It was the smart investor Xiong Shuai, and asked, "What are they doing?"

Xiong Shuai did not refuse, and enthusiastically explained: "This is called Jiugongqi. It is a game of formations practiced on the Jiugongge. The two sides are just like the formation in reality, but they are controlled by chess pieces C. No matter how the chess pieces move , There is always a space on the chessboard, when the space is up, down, left, right, it is your own piece, it is considered a win."

Xiao Bai blurted out, "What's the point of that?"

Xiong Shuai laughed and said, "Sister, you don't understand this. The rules of Jiugong Chess seem simple, but the actual game is very complicated, and it is getting more and more complicated. The test is the anticipation of both sides' deduction and changes in Bagua Yishu." Judgment and analysis, this is something you don't understand, because it is pushed and dialed, so in our Taoist school, it is called Tai Chi on the table."

Over there, Ye Shaoyang and Master Daoyuan moved the copper coins and copper beans on the chessboard back and forth. It seemed very simple and boring, just pushing and pushing.

But every step has gone through multiple deduction.
