I have a role in the heavens

Lu Baixiang looked at the handsome young man in front of him with a red mole on his eyebrows, frowned, and said confusedly as he didn't understand the meaning.

"It doesn't really matter who learns chess or teaches chess."

Lu Baixiang was one of the strongest Go players in the history of Ouhua Blessed Land. He had a strong intuition in his heart that he might play a peak game today.

Cui Dongshan stepped on the stool with one foot, bent over, and rested his chin on his knees. This was completely different from Lu Baixiang's upright posture. He stretched out his arm, lightly brushed his fingers on the edge of the chess pot, and said lazily.

"You haven't decided on a date yet, right?"

Lu Baixiang laughed dumbly. His mood was not disturbed by these words, and he nodded and smiled.

"When I first came here, I really didn't have a rank."

"According to secular rules, a chess player must first play three games with a nine-dan chess player named Daizhao. The newcomer will be given three, two, and one pieces respectively. Of course, the outcome does not affect the final decision. It is more of a kind of Jie Enrong, your luck, Lu Baixiang, is much stronger than your chess skills."

In fact, in the world of Haoran, what really determines the rank of a newcomer is the tie games with fourth- and fifth-level chess players. Cui Dongshan's words contained contempt for Lu Baixiang's chess skills, and his condescending attitude made them frown and feel dissatisfied.

Cui Dongshan raised his head, with a delicate red mole between his eyebrows, and his eyes were like a vast ocean, unfathomable. He seemed to be aware of Lu Baixiang's inner voice and spoke.

"Maybe you will think that in the next game, you have a chance to play the best game, but I might as well tell you that this is just your illusion. Of course you are definitely not convinced, then I will reverse the order, one, two, three, and give up one piece first. , let you know your true balance, how about it? As for whether it is a seat system or an empty draw, it is up to you."

The seat system is a form of Go game. Under this rule, two black and white stones are staggered at the four corner stars of the chessboard before the game starts, in order to maximize the advantage of going first. It is also stipulated that the white chess moves first, and the head must be returned, and there is no sticking point. If either side gets 181 pieces, it will be considered a winner.

An empty start means starting from scratch on a brand new chessboard without chess pieces, and both sides have an equal opportunity to show off their chess skills.

In Go, every move is crucial, so an empty opening means that both sides have unlimited possibilities and opportunities to create their own chess game, which also reflects the fairness and competitiveness of the game. Regardless of the previous record or reputation of both sides, at the moment when the game is empty, everything starts again, and the outcome depends entirely on the performance of both sides in the current chess game.

"You don't need to give in. Even if I lose, I have to lose clearly and know the difference in chess skills between you and me!"

As one of the strongest national players in Ouhua Blessed Land, Lu Baixiang also had his own arrogance. He shook his head slightly and refused Cui Dongshan's offer.

"I just like your blind arrogance that you are not afraid of anything! I have long guessed that you will not agree to the handicap. Then we will start with an empty hand, but if you don't guess, you, Lu Baixiang, will take the black Go first."

Cui Dongshan had an expected expression, his smile became more playful, and he said again.

"How many lines should be posted?

Lu Baixiang did not refuse this time. The chess jar in his hand happened to contain black stones, so he took the lead in making moves.

Cui Dongshan had an impatient look on his face, leaned back slightly, and said casually.

"Get off first and then talk!"

Tiemu is a term in Go, which means that due to Black's first mover advantage, a certain number of items or pieces must be deducted from the final calculation to balance the strengths of both sides and ensure a fair game.

Lu Baixiang has the best tip in the world, with black one, three and five occupying the corner, black seven guarding the corner, and black nine tip. It is both indestructible and contains a faint murderous intention. A storm is coming.

The small tip is a move that is both offensive and defensive. It can not only stabilize one's own power, but also accumulate strength to counterattack the opponent's approaching pieces. In actual combat, small points are often used in contact combat to prevent the opponent from passing through and avoid the opponent's solidity. At the same time, they are also commonly used in defense and capture.

Cui Dongshan was unmoved, his moves were normal and unremarkable. He seemed careless and didn't care about Lu Baixiang's moves at all.

Lu Baixiang fell into concentration like an old monk, immersed in the chess game and completely forgetting himself. But Cui Dongshan was a talker and started talking about this, as if he was teaching Lu Baixiang how to play chess.

"Actually, the seat system is more fun. Of course, starting with an empty balance has its own advantages. It will make the chessboard bigger. But if you are not strong enough, you will use up all the ingenious formulas of the sages in the prologue. It looks like a flowery place, but in the middle game , that is, it is so unsightly that people go in and out wrongly, old farmers dig into manure pits, mad dogs bite people, and people catch loaches in smelly ditches. It is so boring that everyone watching the chess game will fall asleep. "

"When people today comment on the seat system of the ancients, they prefer to belittle the prologue and only admit that the battle in the middle of the game is very exciting. In fact, it is still not quite right."

"Lu Baixiang, your intuition about chess shapes is pretty good, but it's just not bad. As for the theory of chess, it's like, well, you haven't even seen the shirt on Sui's right, let alone touched it. "

The chess game had just entered the middle game. Cui Dongshan, who was chattering, reached out to cover the chess pot and stopped making moves.

Lu Baixiang raised his head, looked at the boy with the red mole in astonishment, and asked in confusion.

"Mr. Cui, what are you doing?"

Cui Dongshan was slightly stunned when he heard this, his eyes fell on the chessboard, and he said matter-of-factly.

"Don't you see that this game is over? You lost, only thirty moves at most."

Lu Baixiang frowned, his eyes fell on the chessboard, and he continued to make moves without seeing the outcome.

"Then continue."

Cui Dongshan was noncommittal, took away his palm, casually twisted a chess piece, and landed it on the chessboard.

When Lu Baixiang plays chess, he has an outstanding demeanor. Whether he reaches out to twist the pieces, leans over to make a move, or examines the chess game, he is all elegant.

But Cui Dongshan was different. He was careless and his moves were flying. After the white stones took root on the chessboard, he waited boredly for Lu Baixiang's next move, which seemed very boring.

"In fact, there is no advantage or disadvantage between the chess game and the empty chess game. Nowadays, chess players are fighting over this and that. In the final analysis, their views on the chess game are not deep enough and broad enough. In fact, besides Caiyun's ten games, there should have been more In the eleventh game, as for the chessboard, it’s not just nineteen vertical and horizontal lines, it’s too small.”

Cui Dongshan seemed to be a little impatient with waiting, and started chattering non-stop again.

Lu Baixiang's heart tightened, his brows furrowed, and he paused for a long time, staring at this uncomplicated chess game. Cui Dongshan has no powerful killing move, no clever exchanges, and no so-called sharp slash of the demon sword. She just played neatly and easily with him for half a game of chess, waiting patiently for him to admit defeat.

With a heavy heart, Lu Baixiang saw clearly the situation on the chessboard, placed two chess pieces in the lower right corner of the chessboard, and surrendered.

"I told you earlier, don't worry about whether it's personal or not. Next, how about I give you a son?"

Cui Dongshan put the white pieces on the chessboard back into the chess pot, yawned out of boredom, and said lightly.

"How about Mr. Cui letting me have two sons?"

This time, Lu Baixiang restrained all his arrogance, realized the gap between himself and Cui Dongshan in chess skills, and asked calmly.

"He who knows the current affairs is a wise man. It's true that I taught you this game of chess. You have made some progress!"

Cui Dongshan laughed when he heard this, looking very pleased, and nodded in agreement with Lu Baixiang's request.

Lu Baixiang smiled bitterly and was speechless. After calming down, he began to collect the sunspots, took a deep breath, and then started playing the second game of chess.

Facing Lu Baixiang who was going all out, Cui Dongshan still seemed very relaxed. He made no mistakes in every step and took flawless shortcuts. He was confident that he could win completely.

After reaching the middle of the game, Lu Baixiang had to think for a long time after every move made by Cui Dongshan before he made a move with great dignity.

Cui Dongshan didn't urge him, he just got some melon seeds from somewhere, and while eating the melon seeds, he looked around without any sense of nervousness.

After Lu Baixiang dropped a piece, he frowned, looked at Cui Dongshan in confusion, and said with some uncertainty.

"Every step is correct?"

"The gap between our chess skills is really huge. You can't read or understand the chess pieces I dropped casually. Then for you, it means that every step is perfect!"

In this game of chess, Lu Baixiang dragged it to the final stage, but the final result was still to surrender.

Cui Dongshan finished eating the melon seeds, clapped his hands, showed some interest on his face, and said to Lu Baixiang with a smile.

"How about we do some luck in the third round? I can give you three pieces!"

With the lessons learned from Pei Qian and Zhu Lian, Lu Baixiang was full of vigilance when facing Cui Dongshan's gambling fight and said decisively.

"Two games are enough!"

Cui Dongshan had a look of disappointment on his face. Lu Baixiang didn't fall for the trick, which made him feel a little bored.

"Hey, it's not difficult for your chess skills to become a strong ninth-dan player in Aquarius Continent. Although it's only equivalent to the ordinary ninth-dan player in the Middle-earth Divine Continent, it's still not good. If you learn more chess and play more scores, you'll be a master there in the future. Is it possible for you, Lu Baixiang, to occupy a place in Yilin, the divine continent of Middle Earth, so that none of your three sons dare to do so?”

"Can Mr. Cui's chess skills rank among the top ten in this vast world?"

Lu Baixiang had clearly realized that there was a huge gap between the two in their chess skills. He settled the chess game unmoved, with some thoughts on his brows, and asked curiously.

"Can Mr. Cui's chess skills rank among the top ten in this vast world?"

"Go is just a minor skill, so what if you get into the top ten? There are some upper five realm monks from the Yin Yang family and Shu family, all of them are proficient in this art, and then, aren't they beaten to the point of crying by the monks in the same realm?"

Cui Dongshan rolled his eyes, not caring about his own chess ranking, with a bit of sarcasm and disdain in his tone.

"I dare to ask again, how big is the gap in chess skills between Mr. Cui and the Lord of Baidi City?"

Zheng Juzhong, the lord of Baidi City, was the best in the world. He had never lost a single game for hundreds of years and was the best player in the world. Lu Baixiang regarded him as the highest in the chess world.

"It must be a horse that takes the lead in black."

There are three most famous great players in the world, Zheng Juzhong, the lord of Baidi City, Cui Chan, the state master of the Great Li Dynasty, and the former disciple of Wensheng lineage, and the last one is Ma Lei.

"The black chess piece learns from the horse beating, the white chess piece learns from me, Cui Zhan, and the handicap piece learns from the Lord of Baidi City. Those who learn from the horse beating style can learn seven or eight points. Those who learn from Cui Zhuan can learn five or six points. Learn from the Lord of Baidi City." , Learning is in vain.”

This is a sentence once said by Cui Chan, which is widely circulated in the chess world. From this, we can know how powerful the knight is when he takes the black lead.

Compared with Zheng Juzhong, Cui Dongshan's chess ability is one less than that of a horse who holds black first. From this, we can see how high Zheng Juzhong's chess skills are. No wonder he has not lost for hundreds of years.

Lu Baixiang glanced at the "Caiyun Pu" on the table, couldn't help his curiosity, and asked again.

"How big is the gap between Mr. Cui and Cui Han, the great master of the Great Li Kingdom?"

Cui Dongshan rolled his eyes and stood up angrily, unwilling to answer the question.

"I'm rude!"

Lu Baixiang cupped his hands and clasped his fists, with a hint of apology on his face, and said very sincerely.

"Forget it, I won't argue with you!"

"After playing two games of chess, what do you think?"

Cui Dongshan looked down at Lu Baixiang sitting at the table and asked with a bright smile.

"I have benefited a lot, and even though I lost, I am honored."

Lu Baixiang was not a person who couldn't afford to lose. He bowed sincerely and said calmly.

"What qualifications do you have to say the last four words!"

Cui Dongshan shook his head. Lu Baixiang's chess ability was pretty good, but there was still a huge gap between him and his. He was not his opponent at all, and he didn't need to deal with it seriously.

Lu Baixiang did not show any dissatisfaction. He knew the facts Cui Dongshan said. The other party's chess skills were unfathomable. He only got a glimpse of the other party's iceberg.

Cui Dongshan turned around and walked towards the room on Sui's right. When his figure was about to disappear from Lu Baixiang's sight, he stopped again, turned to look at the graceful Lu Baixiang, and said in a deep voice.

"Actually, there is a great player in the world who can be called the best in the world. The Lord of Baidi City once had a game with his player and suffered the first defeat in his life!"

As soon as these words came out, Lu Baixiang was shocked, stood up suddenly, with an incredible expression on his face, and asked quickly.

"Who is the best player in the world?"

Cui Dongshan took steps again. When his figure disappeared from Lu Baixiang's sight, and when the other party was very disappointed, a voice suddenly came.

"Sword Qi Great Wall Zhou Jue is the number one swordsman in the world. Chen Pingan is very familiar with him!"

"It turned out to be him, the Great Sword Immortal of the Fourteenth Realm!"

Lu Baixiang had heard of Zhou Jue's name, and it was this person who taught Chen Ping'an the Mountain Shaking Fist, but he did not expect that Zhou Jue was actually a great national player and had once defeated the lord of Baidi City.

"Sister Sui, are you here? I've already finished learning chess from Lu Baixiang. How about I learn swordsmanship from you?"

Cui Dongshan reached out and knocked on the door, with a lewd smile on his face and shouted loudly.

Sui Youyou did not open the door to Cui Dongshan. Even if Cui Dongshan could improve her swordsmanship, sword intention, and even kendo by three feet, giving Sui Youyou an extra fairy sword embryo in vain, Sui Youyou still did not waver. .

Cui Dongshan stood outside the door, rubbed his chin in distress, and began to change his strategy. He asked Sui Zuoyou if he wanted to see the true swordsman in the world.

Sui Sui's right side was still indifferent, sharpening the Chixin Sword on a dragon-slaying platform in the house. She bought the dragon-slaying platform from Chen Pingan. It was only as thick as the palm of her hand. It was Chen Pingan's Flying Sword in the first grade and the leftovers in the fifteenth. Down.

The Infatuation Sword is originally a fairy magic weapon forged by monks, and its quality has the potential to be improved. However, it is a pity that it is not a natal flying sword bred by sword cultivators. It is a dead object that needs to be polished with effort and cannot be swallowed by itself. tower.

The blade of the sword was sharpened by the Dragon-Slaying Platform, with fire splashing everywhere and colorful sparks shining, making it mysterious and mysterious. The Dragon Slaying Platform is known as the most precious sword sharpening stone in the world. During the process of sharpening his sword on the Dragon Slaying Platform, Sui Youyou benefited greatly. The exquisite and subtle sword energy circulated like clouds gathering and dispersing, erratic, and images appeared on the blade. The vivid lines are fleeting and sharp.

Cui Dongshan is a little troubled. He has met not a hundred but dozens of sword-mad people who are passionate about swords. They have the simplest temperament. To put it nicely, they have sincere intentions. At worst, they are just one muscle and cannot bend around. Beautiful The name is, the way of the sword follows its own course.

The boy in white often saw Sui Youyou Wen Nian's sword energy. What he really wanted was the sword's power. He intended to change from a martial artist to a practitioner of sword energy, and determined to become the top swordsman in the world. But why didn't he agree to his request to learn swordsmanship? .

Cui Dongshan was rejected and had no choice but to leave indignantly. What a smart person like him is most afraid of encountering is a stubborn person who is not greedy, immune to temptation, and has a heart as strong as iron, which is the most annoying and annoying thing for him.

A pure martial artist, a pure swordsman, this kind of person, in Cui Dongshan's eyes, is like a stone in a pit, smelly and hard, leaving people helpless.

At the highest point of the Sword Qi Great Wall, strong winds roared, blowing clothes and making hunting noises. Zhou Jue was dressed in a green shirt, with flying green silk threads, piercing the void, absorbing the spiritual energy between heaven and earth, Tao charm, and deep eyes. A picture scroll appeared everywhere, slowly unfolding, and traces of many characters emerged. He looked at the vast world, and with a feeling in his heart, he locked onto the figure of the young man in white, with an incomprehensible look on his face, and spoke quietly.

"Cui Yi, you regard Chen Ping'an as a pawn. If you want to complete your plan, some of your calculations are too much!"

"Shu Jianhu asks about the inner situation? Huh, toying with people's hearts is already on the wrong path, not the right path!"

Cui Dongshan returned to his room, sat cross-legged, and solemnly took out a scroll. The scroll opened, and the pictures flowed, like a gurgling river of time. One picture after another, it was like the most realistic picture in the world. people and things.

The character cut off from the long river of time in the scroll is clearly Chen Pingan. From the time when his parents died when he was young, struggling to survive, to achieving little success, practicing boxing and swordsmanship, he is shown one by one.

This magical picture scroll, which uses the flowing water of time as rice paper, is called the "Zooming Horse Picture" by the immortals on the mountain. It is extremely precious. Only those who have majored in the Ascension Realm or are proficient in the ancient mysteries of the Immortal Realm can use great magical powers to successfully create them.

The Immortal Mountain Sect, which has a deep foundation and no shortage of financial resources, will use this object to secretly protect the reincarnation of the founder of the mountain sect. It is a horse-drawn plan, costs a lot of money, and involves Taoist cultivation, which is very rare.

Every word and action, every move, every cry and smile, every hurdle and disaster, every mood and emotional ripples of the characters in this picture will be recorded completely on the scroll.

Cui Dongshan looked at Chen Pingan on the picture, who was gradually transformed from a child into a teenager, and fell into deep thought for a while.

When Cui Dongshan was closing the town, he found that the time and water of Lizhu Cave Heaven had been thinned by someone's great magical power, which showed that the other party should have enough in his hand to support a longer timeline of water scroll.

"Who is so rebellious?"

"Lu Chen, Ruan Qiong, or old man Yang? Or Zhou Jue!"

Cui Dongshan carefully put away the scroll and hid it in the nearby object, frowning and sighing.

"Damn it, I, Cui Dongshan and Cui Luo, are no longer the same person. These people are not easy to mess with. Let Cui Luo worry about it himself."
