The second match began after drinking a cup of tea. It was already the time when the sun was slowly setting in the west.
A hint of sleepiness appeared in Tian Ming's eyes, but he seemed to be forcing it away.
"Little friend Ziming, how about we fight again tomorrow?”Xun Zi looked at the tired Tianming and asked kindly.
" Thank you, Master Xun, but there's no need for that." Tianming smiled." Today's matter shall be settled today."”
"What a good 'today's business, today's business!”When Xun Zi heard Tianming's words, he praised," Little friend Ziming is indeed not an ordinary person. His words 'today's matter, today's matter' makes me think.”
"Master Xun, you flatter me. Ziming is just a speck of sand in the vast sea of people.”Tianming replied," I'll go first. This round, the Headmaster will be in black.”
"Then this old master will not refuse." Xun Zi said as he took the black piece, and Tianming also moved the white piece in front of him.
Xun Zi was set in the upper left corner, and Tianming was set in the lower right corner. Xunzi set the star position in the upper right corner, and Tianming followed suit and set the star position in the lower left corner. The following steps were the same. Every step was exactly the same as Xun Zi's.
Was this kid determined to follow him to the end? Xun Zi thought for a moment, then shook his head and continued to place his piece.
After another dozen pieces, Xun Zi frowned. No, this won't end. I can't be led by the nose like this. Xun Zi was another son, and he was directly at the Heavenly Yuan Rank.
Seeing that Xun Zi was at Sky Origin, Tian Ming smiled in his heart. Could it be that he had been following Xun Zi Luo's chess pieces just for a draw? Of course not!
He didn't need to use too much of his brain power to play chess with Xun Zi. He only needed to pay attention to the fact that there weren't any particularly big pits waiting for him to jump into. It was basically safe. Under such pressure, Xun Zi had to constantly think about how to break open Tianming's heel and what to do after breaking open the heel. During this period of time, Tianming would have more time to study Xun Zi's moves in this game and the number of moves to follow.
Xun Zi's piece landed on the Sky Origin Stage, and Tianming's piece followed closely behind. Xun Zi pondered for a moment before placing his piece, but Tian Ming immediately followed up with another piece, and each piece hit Xun Zi's sore spot.
Xun Zi let out a sigh of relief. He calmed himself down and looked at the chess game seriously. He no longer acted on impulse. Every piece fell into his eyes. He simulated the next move in his mind.
Bang! Xun Zi's son landed, and Tianming followed closely behind. After more than ten steps, Xun Zi successfully defended the pain points that were attacked one by one, and he wanted to counterattack. However, Tianming's next move stopped Xun Zi's counterattack. The smile on his face seemed to be within his control, and even Xun Zi felt a trace of pressure.
The Go board was gradually filled, and finally, it reached the point where there were no more chess pieces to play.
The sky was already dark, and the boy had already lit a few oil lamps. He was already sleepy at dawn. Yan Lu also stretched lazily, but he was called by Xun Zi to count the chess pieces.
After picking the chess piece, Yan Lu looked at Tianming with a hint of resentment in his eyes. It was unknown if Tianming's slightly narrowed eyes had seen it.
"How did it go?"
Facing Xun Zi's question, Yan Lu said respectfully,""Martial Uncle, it's a draw.”
"It's the same!" Xun Zi looked at the black chess pieces in his chess pot. Losing two rounds in a row." Xun Zi shook his head. "But did little friend Ziming really only learn Go for a month?”
" Probably…" Yan Lu thought for a moment." What he said is correct."”
" Wake him up." Xun Zi shook his head." I still owe him a request."”
"Ziming, Ziming." Yan Lu nudged Tianming's head and woke him up.
"What's wrong? Why?" Tianming opened his eyes in a daze. When he saw that it was Xun Zi, he immediately pulled himself together, but his voice was still sleepy. "Did I win or lose?"
"You win." Yan Lu said unhappily.
"Oh, oh!" Tianming was still a little confused, but he immediately widened his eyes." Master Xun, you've let me win!”
"It should have been a draw, but Martial Uncle Xun saw that you were holding a white stone, so you won.”Yan Lu said.
"Master Xun is noble and upright, and his chess style and virtue are like a high mountain. Ziming is really impressed!”Tianming stood up and cupped his hands in salute to Xun Zi.
"I should be the one to say this. Little friend Ziming is really talented and intelligent. In just a month, he has learned such chess skills. I'm afraid this old man can't compare to him.”Xun Zi said seriously.
"Master Xun is too modest. Ziming is only talented in chess. Speaking of which, I fell asleep in front of you just now. It's really rude.”Tianming still refused.
"Little friend Ziming's body really doesn't look like it's going to fall asleep! Can I take your pulse?" Xun Zi asked softly.
"Thank you, Master Xun." Tianming said as he sat down and stretched out his hand in front of Xun Zi.
Looking at Xun Zi frowning as he took his pulse, Tian Ming said,""This happens every time I overuse my brain. I feel sleepy every day. It should be because I've been practicing Go for a long time recently, so this happens.”
Xun Zi looked at Yan Lu. Yan Lu also said,"Although I don't know if it's because I'm overusing my brain, but it's true that Ziming would feel drowsy every morning, or even fall asleep directly. Every day at noon, he would go to Shopkeeper Ding's inn to drink a cup of bitter tea before he could relax and attend his afternoon classes. He also slept the same as the other disciples. It should be as Ziming said.”
Xun Zi nodded." I observed Ziming's pulse. His pulse is steady and heavy. Indeed, he doesn't look like a drowsy person. It's just as Ziming said. However, if this is the case as Ziming said, then it's better for little friend Ziming not to use his brain too much in the near future. When the time comes, there will be a limit to one's strength. Such a strong learning method will probably cause too much damage to one's mental health.”
" Thank you for telling me, Master Xun." Tianming bowed.
"Little friend Ziming, it's already late today, so I won't keep you.”Xun Zi looked at Tian Ming." But before I leave, I would like to ask you a question.”
"Master Xun, please speak."
"Little friend Ziming went down to the middle plate, and after the long test, he placed that piece. Forgive me for being stupid, but I really don't know the meaning behind it.”Xun Zi cupped his hands and looked at Tian Ming." Please enlighten me."”
Tianming was stunned at first, but he immediately came back to his senses. After thinking for a moment, he began to spout nonsense,"Master Xun is overthinking."
"Roar?"
"It's just a psychological attack." Xun Zi was stunned. Tianming continued," If you want to attack others, attack your heart first. Attacking people is the worst, attacking the heart is the best. I wanted to ask if Master Xun had seen my move, but he had been thinking about it in the first round, but he didn't know? Even the second round was more or less affected. Master, am I right?”Tianming seemed to be smiling. Looking at Xun Zi's expression, he thought to himself, Acting tough is a success!
"Haha!" Xun Zi laughed out loud. Little friend Tianming, I didn't expect that I would still fall into your trap despite all my defenses. Sigh! I'm getting old!" Master Xun seemed to have relaxed quite a bit.
"Who asked Master Xun to be so strong? I didn't have the confidence to win, so of course I had to play some tricks!”Tian Ming shrugged." Who asked me to be saved? I have to pay back."”
To return the favor? However, it was also good. After receiving a drop of water from others, he would repay it with a spring. Ziming's integrity was worth rest assured. However, the condition of losing was probably not easy to return! Xun Zi thought about it and was already prepared to bleed.
"Martial Uncle, we'll be leaving now." Yan Lu tidied up the chessboard and walked towards the door.
"Then, Master Xun, I will take my leave first. As for the conditions, I need Master Xun to accompany me tomorrow.”Tianming said and left with Yan Lu.
He looked at the bamboo board that Zhang Liang had left in his arms and threw it away.
This chapter was 2500 yuan, and the remaining 500 yuan would be added together with tomorrow's chapters.
