Soon, on a stone table under the stone wall, two children laid out the chess pieces on the chessboard. The four corners of the chessboard were also interlaced with black and white seats.
(Here is a brief explanation of what a seat is.) In ancient times, black and white chess pieces would be placed at the four corners of the chessboard. They were called "potential pieces" or "seats". Modern Go did not have them. The ancients believed that by placing a "seat", they could not rely on each other to defend themselves, but could only advance. It was just like how the warlords would fight for the Central Plains and would never settle down in a corner.）
As they chatted, Mr. Gui Zi and Chu Feng sat on both sides of the stone table. Everyone surrounded the stone table and looked around. The green-robed woman was standing beside Chu Feng.
"Please!"
Mr. Gui Zi raised his hand, and Chu Feng did not stand on ceremony. He picked up a white piece and pointed down. Mr. Gui Zi then picked up a black piece and pointed down. The two of them began to play chess.
Although Chu Feng was the first to go with white, after a dozen moves, the first move advantage was gone. After another dozen moves, the first move advantage had already turned to Mr. Guizi's side. After a dozen moves, the white chess piece had already been pressed down.
Those who were skilled in chess could tell that although Chu Feng's chess skills were high, he was still far from Mr. Guizi. However, Chu Feng's adaptability was surprising. He had a clever hand from time to time, and it was unexpected.
Down to more than a hundred hands, the situation gradually became more urgent, the chess game began to show the black and white two big dragons entrenched momentum, at this time, Mr. Guizi suddenly played two clever hands, unexpectedly at the same time to capture Chu Feng's two white pieces, Chu Feng was shocked, if these two white pieces were captured, the white dragon immediately scattered, immediately lost the game.
Chu Feng picked up the white chess piece and pondered for a few moments, but he couldn't pick it because Mr. Guizi's two points were too exquisite. The azure-robed woman suddenly said,""Divide into two forces, Xuansu leads the two!”
Chu Feng's eyes lit up, and he picked up a piece and pointed at the 22nd road.
"Miracle Hands!" Someone exclaimed in admiration," One son can solve the double problems, and the problem can be solved by the problem. This move can be compared to Gu Shiyan's God-subduing Head that defeated the Prince of Japan!”
(Let's also talk about the God-subduing Head here.) During the reign of Emperor Xuanzong of Tang Dynasty, the prince of Japan came to see him. The prince was good at Go. Emperor Xuanzong of Tang Dynasty ordered Gu Shiyan, the first national player at that time, to play Go with him. Two people down to more than 30 hands, Gu Shiyan was captured by Wang Zishuang, temporarily trapped in a difficult situation. Master Gu said that he was afraid of insulting the king's life. He sweated and thought for a long time before he dared to play. Finally, he played a piece to solve the double signs, which was called the head of the town god. The prince widened his eyes and retracted his arms, surrendering.）
Moreover, Mr. Ghost was greatly surprised when he saw Chu Feng's ingenious move. However, he also had a clever way to deal with it. He immediately put down a piece and blocked the white piece. The green-robed woman read out again,"Earth Splitting Four Dimensional Move, command the two formations!”
Chu Feng then placed his move on the 4th and 2nd lane. With this move, the white chess piece was no longer in danger. Everyone couldn't help but heave a sigh of relief. They secretly looked at the green-robed woman and whispered to each other, guessing who this green-robed woman with the green veil crown was.
In terms of chess, Chu Feng was indeed not as good as Mr. Gui Zi, but the green-robed woman would always secretly help him, and Chu Feng would occasionally come up with some strange ideas, so he was not at a disadvantage for a while.
Down to more than a hundred moves, Mr. Ghost once again made a clever move, quietly attacking the white chess pieces in the middle, trying to cut off the white chess big dragon in one fell swoop.
Chu Feng was in a difficult situation again. The green-robed woman opened her mouth and said,"Nine years of repeated incantations, the four seas are floating.”Chu Feng understood and immediately placed his 94th lane, preparing to receive two white pieces. The black pieces did not allow him to receive them and immediately flew over.
The green-robed woman read again,"Leaving a poem of a thousand years old crane, sending off guests in a carriage of five clouds."”
Chu Feng immediately pointed at the fifth and fifth lane, and the black piece immediately cangue, tightly binding the white pieces on the side lane. Chu Feng once again sank into deep thought, but the green-robed woman chanted,""There's room in the middle, why bother with the sides?”
With this thought of hers, Chu Feng suddenly felt enlightened. That's right, there was nothing in the middle, so why should he be trapped by the flanks? He immediately picked up a piece and pointed at it. Not only did his hands widen the white piece's vision, but he also trapped a black piece.
Mr. Gui Zi thought for a moment and pressed down on the white chess piece to forcefully cut it off. The green-robed woman immediately read out,"When you have the power, you will swallow the people far away. When you are in danger, you will rob and win!"”
Chu Feng knew that she wanted him to take the opportunity to pick up the black piece, but this time he did not go along with the move. He looked at the chessboard and thought, Removing the black pieces could indeed temporarily solve the problem, but the white pieces were still in danger of being cut off.
Everyone looked at him strangely, and even the green-robed woman shifted her gaze from the chessboard to him. The best response was to use the grapes to solve the problem. What was he thinking?
Chu Feng pondered for a while and finally picked up a piece. However, he did not remove the black piece, but tapped on the upper right corner.
Foolish move! Foolish move!
Everyone frowned. It was clearly a stupid move. The white chess piece was about to be cut off.
Mr. Guizi was about to cut off the white chess piece when he suddenly paused and slowly withdrew. He stared at the chessboard and pondered. Everyone felt strange for a moment. They really couldn't see what was so good about Chu Feng's stinky hand that actually made Mr. Gui Zi hesitate.
"Surround Wei to save Zhao?" The azure-robed woman suddenly said in surprise.
Some people had also noticed something. It turned out that Chu Feng's move contained thousands of variations. If Mr. Ghost had cut it off rashly, the black chess pieces in the upper right corner would have been trapped by the white chess pieces.
In the end, Mr. Gui Zi did not cut off the white chess piece. Instead, he picked up a piece to make up for it. Chu Feng's white chess piece grew out, the black chess piece twisted, the white chess piece retreated, the black chess piece connected, and the white chess piece also connected. These changes were extremely exquisite. The black pieces covered up the black pieces in the upper right corner, but the white pieces were also calmly connected, and there was no danger of cutting them.
"It's really besieging Wei to save Zhao! Wonderful!" Everyone couldn't help but marvel at the azure-robed woman's meticulous observation of the game.
The chess pieces became more and more complicated. Although there was no fierce and dangerous close combat, danger lurked everywhere, making it difficult for people to breathe.
Down to two hundred moves, a shocking scene appeared. The black and white dragons on the chessboard intertwined with each other, forming a life and death battle!
The life and death tribulation was a great tribulation of the world. It concerned the survival of the entire chess piece on both sides. A slight mistake could result in the loss of the entire game. Now, both sides were treading on thin ice. They were extremely cautious. In a single step, it was either you die or I die. It was simply suffocating.
After a dozen moves, the life and death battle continued, but Chu Feng was getting more and more dangerous. He had even fallen into a desperate situation. He raised his chess piece several times and withdrew it several times. With this move, he would either escape the tribulation or die. However, no one could predict whether he would survive the tribulation or die. He kept calculating the changes in the chess game, but how could he calculate all the complicated chess pieces!
He suddenly remembered the old Taoist priest's words." The way of chess is ever-changing. One moves to life, and the other moves to death. Life and death are unpredictable. You can only use your intention, not your form!”
Just as he was thinking, the azure-robed woman, who had been silent for a long time, softly said,"There's true meaning in this.”
When everyone heard this, they were stunned. There were no numbers or hints in the poem.
Chu Feng's heart moved, she was telling him not to be obsessed with the chess pieces, which was exactly what the old Taoist said.
He took a deep breath and slowly calmed down. Although his eyes were looking at the chessboard, the chess pieces gradually disappeared, leaving only the chess pieces. Then, the chess pieces disappeared as well, but they slowly appeared in his mind. In the midst of black and white, he suddenly picked up a piece.
Before this piece was placed, no one could see that the white chess piece had the possibility of resolving the tribulation. However, after this piece was placed, the chess situation immediately changed subtly.
Mr. Ghost pressed the chess piece, pulled the white chess piece, closed the black chess piece, opened the white chess piece, broke the black chess piece, and jumped the white chess piece. He passed through the thrilling battle.
Someone exclaimed," It's the Carefree Tribulation. The Life and Death Tribulation has become the Carefree Tribulation. Wonderful!" Wonderful!"
It turned out that Chu Feng had actually silently resolved the life and death tribulation into the carefree tribulation with a few moves.
The Carefree Tribulation, as the name implied, meant that this tribulation had no effect on both parties. Therefore, Carefree could be said to have survived from a desperate situation!
Just as everyone was applauding Chu Feng's moves, someone exclaimed,""Not only that, the black chess pieces have been blinded by the white chess pieces and can't play!”
Everyone took a closer look. Sure enough, the white piece had broken the black piece.
Someone asked softly,"Then isn't the black chess piece going to lose?"”
Someone replied," We might lose. We can't do the eye surgery. How can we not lose?"”
"Mr. Gui Zi is the number one Go player in the world. How could he lose?”
"Sigh, even the number one Go player in the world has times when he fails miserably in a ditch!”
"But this is just a brat who still smells of milk?”
"This is called blind punching an old master to death!"
Just as they were discussing, Mr. Gui Zi calmly pointed to the lower left. This move could be called a ghost hand. It seemed to be casual, but with this move, the white stone's eye position was also broken, and there was no way to do anything.
This unexpected turn of events had left both the black and white chess pieces unable to move. It was extremely dangerous, and neither side had any confidence in who would be able to destroy the other party's entire chess piece. Even the green-robed woman became nervous, and her green veil fluttered.
White lead, black touch, white attack, black pull, white press, black counter-press…A series of moves made people breathless, each step was shocking.
However, as he continued to play, a calamity appeared on the chessboard. Before this calamity disappeared, another calamity appeared, followed by two calamities. It was a series of four calamities. The black and white chess pieces actually became a rare series of four calamities!
Four consecutive tribulations were extremely rare! The rarest of the rarest! No matter if it was black or white, they would never go to eliminate the tribulation. Because no matter who went to eliminate the tribulation, they would be giving away a piece of chess to the other party. Who would be so stupid? Therefore, both parties could only continue to rob in a continuous cycle. What was even more amazing was that this cycle of the four tribulations was formed by both sides throwing themselves into the chess pieces, it was truly marvelous!
Someone sighed." I've heard of the Four Tribulations Consecutive Tribulations many times, but I've never seen it before. Today, I'm actually able to witness it with my own eyes. My life has not been in vain. My life has not been in vain!"”
Someone else said," This old man has been playing chess for dozens of years. I was lucky enough to witness three consecutive tribulations once. Today, I've actually witnessed four consecutive tribulations. Wonderful, wonderful!"”
Once the four consecutive tribulations appeared, they could only draw. Mr. Gui Zi raised his head slightly and looked at Chu Feng, as if asking him if he wanted to fight. The green-robed woman beside him didn't say anything else. Clearly, she also thought that they could only draw.
Of course, being able to make peace with Mr. Gui Zi was enough to shake the world. Just when everyone thought that Chu Feng would take the opportunity to make peace with Mr. Gui Zi, Chu Feng did something that made everyone dumbfounded: He actually picked up a piece and did not continue to rob. Instead, he took the initiative to eliminate the tribulation!
Everyone was dumbfounded. Even the green-robed woman let out a cry of surprise. Mr. Guizi was stunned, but he would not be lenient. He tapped the black piece and took away a piece of the white piece.
How could he still play after losing a piece?
Chu Feng's white piece grew, the black piece caught, and the white piece flew, silently surrounding the black piece's dragon head. Someone had noticed Chu Feng's intentions. He actually wanted to kill the black dragon head!
Of course, if he could cut off the dragon's head, not only would he be able to offset the chess pieces he had just lost, but he could even turn the tables. But was that possible? Taking the initiative to give up dozens of chess pieces to surround the black chess head, it was undoubtedly putting himself in a dead end. The danger could be imagined!
Of course, Mr. Gui Zi would not let Chu Feng succeed. Hei Zi immediately added, wanting to pick up Black Dragon Head. The white chess pieces rushed, the black chess pieces pointed, the white chess pieces broke, and the black chess pieces reversed. The chessboard was instantly soul-stirring, and the two men were clearly holding knives and fighting at close range.
Everyone stared at the chessboard in fear. They did not dare to make a sound or breathe. Beads of sweat dripped down!
Bai Zihu, Hei Zi squeezed, Bai Zi flew, Hei Zi flew, Bai Zi pressed, Bai Zi clamped, Hei Zi carried. Down here, Hei Zi's head had already connected with the dragon's body safely. However, it was only at this moment that everyone realized that Chu Feng's encirclement of the black dragon's head was actually just a bluff. He had already silently surrounded dozens of empty spaces in the middle and kept them all in his pocket.
"We're building a plank road in the open, but we're secretly crossing over!"
The green-robed woman's tone revealed a hint of amazement. Mr. Ghost nodded with approval in his eyes. Everyone heaved a sigh of relief. The final victory would depend on the ending.
Mr. Gui Zi and Chu Feng did not place any more pieces, because it did not matter who won or lost. This was because the subtle changes in this game and their understanding of chess were enough to make anyone sigh endlessly.
However, there were still some busybodies who did a careful calculation. In the end, there were two more black stones than white stones on the chessboard, so Chu Feng ultimately lost to Mr. Guizi by two stones.
Chu Feng stood up and bowed." Senior's chess skills are profound and unfathomable. I admit defeat!"”
Mr. Gui Zi laughed and said,"Good!" Good! It has been a long time since this old man has played such a satisfying and soul-stirring game of chess. Giving away dozens of chess pieces to actively eliminate the tribulation, what boldness! What spirit! Heroes really come from young people!"
"Senior, you're too kind. If it wasn't for someone giving me pointers, I would have lost long ago."”As he spoke, he stole a glance at the azure-robed woman.
The green-robed woman suddenly said," I heard that the Japanese use numbers to determine the outcome of a chess game. If we follow this method, the white chess piece will not lose!"”
(This is also about what numbers are.) The number was the Japanese rule, which was to see how many eyes the chess pieces surrounded. Counting pieces was the traditional rule of the Chinese Empire. It depended on how many pieces one side could survive on the chessboard. The difference was that the number method also considered the eye position as an eye, and the eye position could be calculated. However, the number of children method is that the eye position cannot be used as a child, and cannot be calculated into the number of children.）
Mr. Gui Zi stroked his beard and said to the green-robed woman,""Young Lady, do you think that the way of playing chess should be about numbers or chess pieces?”
The azure-robed woman could not answer.
Mr. Guizi said," Playing chess is based on a living chess piece. Although the eye position is on our side, it is used as a living chess piece. How can it be occupied and calculated?" The game of chess was created by the ancestor, the Yellow Emperor, and passed down to Japan. Japan did not understand the way of chess and took the surrounding area as the foundation. They did not know that the living child was the foundation. They arbitrarily tampered with it, but they did not know that they had lost their foundation!”
The green-robed woman pondered for a moment and bowed deeply.""Teacher's words enlightened me, and I finally understood the way of chess!”
Mr. Gui Zi nodded with a smile.
"The old Taoist priest also said that the way of playing chess is to live!"”
Mr. Guizi said,"The way to play chess is to be clear of the spirit, to meet the mind, and to focus on the form." Little brother, you've also gained a little of his spirit. In time, you'll definitely become a great person! I wonder if little brother is willing to take this old man as your master?”
When everyone heard this, they were greatly surprised. Mr. Gui Zi had been famous for decades and had never accepted a disciple. They did not expect him to favor this somewhat silly blue-robed youth in front of them so much today.
Chu Feng bowed and said,"Thank you for your favor, Senior!" However, I still like to roam the world with my sword!”
Everyone could not help but shake their heads and sigh. Mr. Gui Zi also looked disappointed, but he did not force it. He casually picked up two chess pieces, one black and one white, and handed them to Chu Feng."
"Take these two chess pieces as a gift from this old man to little brother. Remember! The world was like chess. Black and white were clearly defined on the chessboard, but the world was often unclear. The Dao of Chess, the Dao of Humanity, and the Dao of Heaven were interlinked. Life Tribulation, Death Tribulation, Heavenly Tribulation, and Tribulation were connected! Remember! Be careful!" Date:07 10 2019 5:47PM
