Often, we don't know who we will meet next. To us, there are many faces that become familiar because we see them often, but we don't know each other because of that. Some people, when they meet, are destined to accompany each other for a while. Is this the so-called telepathy? Is it the so-called birds of a feather flock together?
Thinking about it carefully, the fate between humans seemed to be something that happened in the dark. It was very marvelous. Like what was written in the book Ghost Blows Out the Light, a rat and a poor man became rat brothers. The rat went out to fetch 2 - 3 copper coins for the poor man every day, while the poor man spent his days on copper coins and bought cigarettes to smoke with the rat. They spent countless days and nights peacefully in this peaceful state until one day, this peace was broken. That was because the rat had been scalded to death by someone else. This kind of Arabian Nights story revealed the secrets of fate.
The meeting between Qiu Jun and Wang Gao seemed to be the will of the gods.
That day, the clouds in the sky were as usual. The golden red color dispersed and gradually turned gray. Occasionally, there were planes flying in the sky, but they quickly disappeared without a trace. He did not know where the bird chirped from, but he looked around and could not find any traces of them.
Qiu Jun felt a desire in his nostrils. He lit a cigarette and took a big puff before slowly exhaling. The smoke slowly climbed from his mouth to his eyes. He casually turned on the computer.
After work, Qiu Jun liked to play chess online alone. It was a way for him to relax.
He was a master of Chinese chess. When he was young, his mother had spent a lot of money to find an expert to teach him how to play chess. Every time he practiced chess, the naughty pet dog at home was also very obedient. It would always lie beside him without barking or making a fuss. Its black eyes would also stare at Qiu Jun from time to time. Sometimes, it would move away from Qiu Jun, and sometimes, it would focus on Qiu Jun's face, as if it was afraid of disturbing its master's thoughts.
Animals were very human. After raising them for a long time, they could even understand what their owners said. Qiu Jun loved his puppy very much when he was a little boy. Just like how many children treated their favorite toys and playmates, he cared and caressed them. He often stroked the puppy with his gentle little hands and often put his little face on the puppy's face. Therefore, the puppy loved him too. It followed him all day long like a loyal bodyguard, inseparable. If Qiu Jun got into an argument with someone else, the dog would jump up and roar at the other party.
The mother said,"Son, study hard. Don't let the dog down."
The teacher smiled gently at the side and said to his mother," Your son doesn't have to worry. He will definitely become a talent."
The teacher wasn't just blabbering, because he realized that the young Qiu Jun had a photographic memory when faced with the Go manual and could easily memorize it. Within a radius of dozens of miles, there were countless teachers who had taught many people, but they had never seen such a bright child. His eyes were as clear as the night pearls on the sea, flickering with a strange light. This light could illuminate the hearts of people, but it was also unforgettable.
Of course, Qiu Jun didn't develop his chess skills later, but he met the strange Wang Gao.
However, he was very obsessed with playing chess. He could quietly indulge in that kind of competition because his spirit was released. If his opponent's chess skills were better, it could stimulate his brain to operate at a high speed, making his brain water fill up, copy, grow, and become more flexible. He felt that using his brain was a very satisfying thing. If he killed a thousand brain cells, ten thousand brain cells would be born. Therefore, he was not stingy with using his brain.
He often went online to find someone to play chess with, but the other party was defeated in less than two moves. The other party could not arouse his desire to fight. As he played, he felt that his mind was slowing down, as if he was stuck in a traffic jam. He stopped and moved, and he was not happy at all. Then he kept changing people. He always wanted to meet an expert, but it was not new. It was as if his opponent was always hiding in the distance and spying on him. It made him unable to enjoy himself and could not fully display his chess skills. From then on, the little fun he had was strangled. He decided to wash his hands of life. He no longer went online to seek spiritual comfort.
Quitting interest was like quitting smoking. It was not so easy to quit. Just like how people had many beautiful ideas, but it was not easy to do them. It was easy to think but difficult to do.
On that day, Qiu Jun, who was bored, looked up at the sky. It was blue, and the clouds were light. It was clean and clear, without any embellishments. As he looked at it, he saw a cloud floating over. When he observed it carefully, he felt that the cloud had turned into a picture of two people sitting opposite each other. There was a table between the two of them. It was as if one of them was holding Si Bang and thinking, while the other was holding a chess piece and placing it in the middle of the chessboard.
He thought, Why did the heavens let me see such a scene at this time?
He closed his eyes and pondered for a long time, but he couldn't think of an answer. He looked up at the cloud again and found that the picture had become two people shaking hands. He kept looking, hoping to see other pictures, but the cloud seemed to be motionless. The picture didn't change. He was tired of looking at it. When he lowered his head, the desire to play chess was quietly aroused. He felt that this must be a sign.
He turned on the computer, clicked the mouse skillfully, and entered the Go software. Soon, someone came to challenge him.
His opponent had made the first move, and it was as if he didn't need to think. He quickly responded with a move. It was only the third move, and his opponent's speed had clearly slowed down. He was getting impatient.
He thought to himself,"What level is this? It stinks."
His brows were locked together, and his side profile was still handsome and charming. If a girl looked at him, she would definitely be mesmerized.
The other party quickly retreated, and they hastily ended the battle.
He still changed his opponent without any hope. It could be seen how persistent he was and how unafraid he was of encountering disappointment.
When a new opponent appeared, he would let his opponent make the first move. He always had this attitude. The opponent's first move seemed to be a very normal routine. Qiu Jun was slightly disdainful at first, but gradually, he felt that his steps were difficult. If he was not careful, he would fall into the opponent's trap. The opponent made a move that killed two birds with one stone. He seemed to be forced to the edge of the cliff. He looked around and the knife cut the cold cliff. He shivered as if he had been injected with chicken blood. His pores opened. That eyeball-like luminous pearl. It was as if it was filled with energy and shot towards the screen.
"That's high!" He muttered to himself in a low voice, and his eyes sparkled. Even though he was facing the keyboard, his expression was still handsome and cool. His side profile was thin and tight, his nose bridge was tall, and his facial features were well-defined. The high lenses could not hide his sharp eyes. It was the first time he felt that his opponent was powerful, and it was the first time he felt that a shocking battle was about to begin. He was excited and his blood boiled.
He frowned and thought to himself,'God has sent an expert to confront me. This is a good opportunity for me to have a good fight.'
In front of his eyes, a sea of clouds appeared. The wind blew past Lin Xiao. The warrior stood alone on the top of the cliff. His saber rose and fell, and the smoke fell. The scene of unyielding might. A spiritual light suddenly passed through his head. His brain churned, and his thoughts flew. The moves surged in his mind. He responded meticulously. It was like Tai Chi using softness to subdue hardness. It was also like Tai Chi. He retreated first and then withdrew his fist in order to punch out more forcefully.
After making his move, he was secretly delighted. Presumably, the other party needed time to deal with it. However, contrary to his expectations, the other party responded quickly. It was almost as if lightning had struck. So fast? Qiu Jun did not expect his opponent to not only be ruthless, but also fast. To be precise, he was fast, accurate, and ruthless.
"F * ck! "When facing a god-like opponent, I can't let my guard down," he muttered coolly. Then, he pulled back his hand and struck fiercely like a sledgehammer, hitting the opponent's vital points. He picked up a chess piece and put it down heavily.
The other party became weak and powerless, and even his confidence was weakened.
Outside the window, the clouds were still clear and the sun was shining brightly.
The chess moves became slower and slower. The opponent was like an injured lion. His momentum weakened, but he resisted tenaciously. He counterattacked ferociously again, like a whale crocodile raising thousands of waves. Qiu Jun retreated to avoid it and counterattacked again. The enemy advanced, and the enemy retreated, and the enemy retreated. They were like warriors fighting at the edge of the world. Their might rose everywhere, and the danger was imminent. The flames of war continued. It was life and death. They ran out of ammunition and food. Both of them had the determination to persevere until the last bullet was fired. In the end, they both tied with serious injuries.
Because the other party had something to do and had to play, the chess match ended regretfully. However, they agreed on the next time they met online.
Qiu Jun thought,"Beautiful things are always short-lived."”
It was as if a soul and another soul had met by chance. This encounter gave birth to a kind of joy and a kind of desire. The joy was that at the moment they collided, the sparks of life jumped, and the desire was that they could meet again.
Not every encounter could give birth to joy. Some encounters could give birth to hatred, jealousy, sharp knives, and fear.
Qiu Jun couldn't forget that chess game with Wang Gao, because that joy was like seeing a bright light in the darkness.
The next day, Qiu Jun impatiently asked Wang Gao out for a second match online. This match was even more of a surprise for them because everyone valued each other and wanted to defeat each other. Every move they made was carefully thought out, so their chess speed was very slow.
Qiu Jun's first move made Wang Gao's heart twitch. This tactic seemed calm, but in fact, there were rapids and dangerous shoals hidden behind it. If he wasn't careful, he would be buried alive. Thus, Wang Gao had to be careful of falling into the opponent's trap. He had to be careful with every step.
Wang Gao took a step forward. Qiu Jun's cool brows furrowed. He was very surprised. The other's brain water was so explosive, and his thinking was far-reaching. He didn't leave any flaws, didn't leave any openings, and made him have no choice but to fight back.
The more it was like this, the more excited Qiu Jun became. His head was like a flying car on a highway, and the spectacular sight of the desert sand blowing appeared in front of his eyes. Gathering the Qi of Heaven and Earth, the wind was strong, and the Qi of Heaven and Earth gathered into a beam of light that passed through his brain from his fingertips. In an instant, it was like a laser on his brain, and inspiration burst out.
Qiu Jun made a fatal move. The other party immediately fell to the ground like a lion that had been stabbed. Then, he endured the pain from his wound and stubbornly counterattacked. The yellow sand swept up ten thousand winds.
Qiu Jun, who was feeling smug, was unexpectedly bitten by his opponent without any precautions. He faced off like a lion and a tiger in pain. Both sides were injured and blood flowed like a river. Victory would be obtained if he persisted until the end.
The two armies faced each other, and their qi pierced through the mountains and rivers. The iron horse and the ice river. The strong man died for victory. He was unyielding and died without regret.
Qiu Jun quickly jumped into the enemy's trench and fought to the death. The other party dodged left and right, stabbing the horse's back with a knife. The horse lost its front hooves, and the warrior fell off the horse. Another round of knife and spear exchange. After the short battle, both sides were already covered in injuries. They were so exhausted that it was as if the earth was shaking.
At this moment, Qiu Jun's mind was like a misty desert that was covered in sandstorms. He was dizzy and on the verge of death. He felt that he could not hold on any longer and was about to be killed by the enemy. When he was ready to fight bravely at any time, a voice sounded in his ear, ethereal but clear." In this world, the most absolute move is the no-move. It is to deal with all changes with the unchanging. It is better to win with the no-move."”
Qiu Jun picked up his last car with two fingers. Like a train with full horsepower, he stepped on the accelerator and rushed straight at his opponent. Even if the car flipped over and he was smashed into pieces, he still stepped on the accelerator resolutely. He scared the enemy with his vast momentum and won the final victory.
The game of chess took a full two hours of effort before Qiu Jun finally won. This kind of victory was not easy. Perhaps it was not the victory of chess skills, but the victory of endurance, perseverance, and mentality. Therefore, Wang Gao later admired Qiu Jun.
Just like that, they became chess buddies. Finally, Qiu Jun asked on the keyboard,""Which city are you from?"
"Wei City's."
" What a coincidence. We're in the same city, and we're destined to meet. I can't miss such a beautiful encounter." Qiu Jun felt a little happy.
" Hehe, the sky isn't just about fate. There's also planes."
"Let's exchange numbers. Come out for a drink when you're free."
"No problem."
Just like that, the two geniuses got to know each other.
