"There's nothing else to say. Just go and be busy with whatever you want. I'll continue to look at the sea." After a moment of silence, Gu Xun waved his hand to Mo Ya, indicating that he could leave.
"My subordinates, please leave." After hearing this, Mo Ya said goodbye and left. However, because of Gu Xun's strange attitude towards the sea, he took another look at the calm blue ocean before leaving.
Immediately, doubts emerged in my mind that I still had no clue about. No matter how you look at it...there's nothing special about it! After thinking hard to no avail, Mo Ya had to leave silently.
Gu Xun stood there, twisted his neck, and continued to look into the distance. A faint blue-purple light began to appear in his two black and white eyes, and gradually bloomed, turning into two beams of light spraying out of his eyes. out.
This is a unique children's art passed down from generation to generation in Jade Toad Palace. Blue Rabbit knew this child's art, but had not mastered it before Gu Xun Er Wean because it was too difficult and not very useful.
Whether it's improving eyesight, bringing in special effects, or the most useful ability to see through illusions, it doesn't matter to Blue Rabbit, but if you want to practice this technique, you need to be able to survive life and death to have a chance of success.
If you are worthy of life and death, you will naturally need to experience life and death. Blue Rabbit is not a fool to risk his life to practice a seemingly useless children's skill.
Gu Xun used to be very fond of this child's skill. He didn't care much about his eyesight and seeing through illusions, but he liked the special effects. After all, it didn't matter whether he was strong or not, as long as he was handsome.
I was young at that time! It's a pity that this thing is of little use and is expensive, probably because the training conditions are indeed quite harsh.
That is to say, only now that he has basically achieved financial freedom can he acquire such a luxurious skill. But at this time, this unique children's art provided a lot of help.
At the farthest end of Guxun's sight beyond ordinary people's sight, in the deepest part of the sea, where the sea and the sky meet, the gleaming light of the sea disappeared, replaced by a looming mist.
Probably the distance was too far. Even if Gu Xun could see quite far away in an unobstructed environment like the sea, he could only capture a hint of hazy mist.
Maybe it was really a fog, or maybe Gu Xun was just dazzled. The answer to this question requires Gu Xun to find a way to verify it. Fortunately... it's not difficult.
…………Xiaoshengxianzhuang, Houshan Bamboo Forest Chess Room. After nearly two hours of fierce fighting, the sun that originally hung in the south almost moved to the west, and the old and young chess game finally came to an end.
Master Xunzi held a white chess piece, stroked his beard with his left hand, and sighed,
"That's all, I lost!" Tianming was stunned for a moment when he heard this, because he didn't know how to calculate winning or losing in Go, but he immediately showed a smile and pretended to clasp his hands and said,
"Hey, Master Xun, give in, give in!" The game of chess was finished. If Zhang Liang hadn't remembered Zhang Liang's previous instructions, he would have jumped up and cheered.
Yan Lu, who had been watching the battle on the other side, breathed a sigh of relief and let go of his worries. Although he never fully understood how Zhang Liang guided Ziming to complete this game, he was actually relieved after the game started.
This kid played chess without any problem. But the relaxed mentality did not last long before it collapsed because of an unplanned accident.
After the chess game started, Yan Lu cracked half of Zhang Liang's tricks - he didn't know how his uncle made moves, but he relied on mirror reflection to guide his moves, shining the light on the chessboard-like crisscross pattern behind his uncle. corresponding position on the pane.
However, the weather was unfavorable. It was still cloudless this morning, but it became cloudy after noon. Not long after the chess game started, because the clouds happened to drift over and block the light in this area, the physics plug-in was lost at dawn and the computer went down.
This dumbfounded Tianming and Yan Lu. Fortunately, time comes and heaven and earth work together. The protagonist is the protagonist after all. After a while, the clouds drift away and the cheating is restored at dawn.
But if there is one, then there are two. There is obviously more than just that one cloud in the sky. As a result, the originally smooth chess game suddenly became like diarrhea and constipation, sometimes clear and sometimes blocked.
The embarrassment in the morning made Yan Lu worried. Xunzi had a bad temper, but he was good at cultivating his qi, so he didn't become impatient because of it. It was just strange.
How come this chess game is played every time? If Gu Xun were watching from the sidelines, he would definitely joke that Mr. Xun, your network card is stuck.
Even though Zhang Liang was always confident of winning, he couldn't help but shake his head outside. He also knew a little bit about the art of observing celestial phenomena. Yesterday, he judged that today would be a sunny day, but he was only half correct, which made him have to stop from time to time.
This chess game, which was expected to take less than half an hour to end, was therefore delayed intermittently to almost two hours. If it continued any longer, Zhang Liang would be unable to defeat the enemy!
It's a critical moment. Panasonic's nervous Yan Lu quickly took two steps forward, intending to end the chess game as soon as possible.
He was really afraid of another accident.
"Uncle, you are too modest." Yan Lu smiled and defended Master Xun.
"Although Uncle Master occupies less of the two-piece position, Black moved first and should have posted two and three-quarters of the pieces. Calculated, he still wins slightly."
"Huh?" Before Xunzi could say anything, Tianming glared at Yan Lu sideways - What nonsense are you talking about? How can you still be considered a winner when you have already admitted defeat?
Fortunately, Tianming's desire to win did not overwhelm his reason, and he just cursed in his heart without speaking out. Xunzi also glanced at Yan Lu at this time and said angrily,
"It's true that I'm your uncle, but you don't have to be so biased in favor of an old man like me. How will little friend Ziming think of me if you do this?"
"If you lose, you lose. There is nothing to argue with."
"Hehe!" When Tianming heard this, he immediately became happy again and nodded in agreement. After all, he had earned it by running for it.
Yan Lu didn't react at all after being scolded for a few words, and returned to his original position honestly. It's not like he doesn't understand that his uncle, who is very competitive, is not willing to take advantage of others.
If the opponent was an old man of his generation who was as old as himself, Master Xun was not sure how he would fight for victory, but facing an eleven or twelve year old boy, he would naturally have no choice but to admit defeat neatly.
Yan Lu stepped forward and said this, firstly to save face for his elders out of habit, and secondly because he hoped to interrupt Xunzi's thoughts to prevent him from noticing something was wrong.
After teaching his nephew a lesson, Xunzi turned his eyes back to Tianming, and his attitude suddenly became much kinder: "This is the first time I have seen this chess game, little friend Ziming. It has a unique opening, exquisite layout, interlocking links, and endless clever changes. , It’s really breathtaking, I admire you!”
"Although I never like to admit defeat to others, in this game of chess, I don't dare to claim to be victorious."
"Hehe..." Tianming chuckled and scratched his head, then clasped his hands in a pretentious manner and said,
"Um...well, Master Xun praised him, he praised him very much!" Yan Lu couldn't help but smile as he saw his uncle praising Tian Ming in a serious manner.
His smile was different, and Xunzi noticed it immediately. The old master glanced at him sideways and asked coldly,
"Yan Lu, why are you laughing?"
"Uh..." Yan Lu's mouth suddenly dropped, and he replied bitterly,
"It's nothing. My nephew just thinks that this game of chess is exquisite and he feels happy in his heart."
"Really?" Master Xun's tone was quite yin-yang-like. He could tell that when he was young, he often used yin-yang to irritate others.
"I thought you had some different opinions on what I said!"
"How dare you, how dare you!" Yan Lu could only lower his head and clasp his hands. Xunzi didn't seem to be satisfied with what he said, so he simply launched a ranged attack and wiped out all the people of Yan Lu's generation. He focused on Fu Nian and said, "You guys have always been role models for others. Every one of you is a good example." I look like the most knowledgeable person in the world, especially that boy Fu Nian!"
"What's the result? Playing chess one by one is worse than a teenager!"
"Can't you learn to understand me all at once?" Tianming's eyes narrowed with joy when he heard this, and he nodded repeatedly, wishing he could follow Xunzi and say Fu Nian's fault.
After all, he was punished by Fu Nian for more than half a month after he came to Little Saint Xian Manor. Although he accepted the punishment, he still had some complaints against Fu Nian.
Yan Lu, who was being scolded, naturally did not dare to talk back and nodded honestly.
"Uncle Master taught me this."
"Hmph!" Xunzi stroked his beard, and when he saw Yan Lu's appearance, he stopped scolding him. He turned to Tianming again and said with a suspicious look on his face: "Speaking of which, I do have a question that I would like to ask for advice. I wonder if little friend Ziming can help me? answer?"
"Uh..." Tianming rolled his eyes and said from the bottom of his heart. He didn't want to answer and just wanted to leave quickly. However, he took Zhang Liang's instructions into consideration and didn't dare to be too rude, so he could only smile stiffly. Nodded,
"Master Xun, if you ask, I... know everything I know."
"Thank you very much, little friend." Master Xun nodded and said with a smile.
"I see that most of the time when you play chess, your thoughts flow like a spring, and you flow like water. From time to time, you will get stuck in a long test for no apparent reason. And most of the moves, from my point of view, there doesn't seem to be any mystery, little friend. Can you shed some light on the mystery?”
"Ah, this..." Tianming's eyes widened slightly, and he scratched his head with one hand to hide his panic and embarrassment.
Yes, I often get stuck, but why? Tianming scratched his head and secretly took a look at Yan Lu.
Please help me, please tell me why! Old Yan Lu stood aside silently, not even saying a word, even pretending to be invisible to Tian Ming's eyes.
Why do you think so? It’s not my fault! Yan Lu actually wanted to help him, but he couldn't answer this question for Tianming!
In addition, Master Xun was right next to him, so Yan Lu didn't even dare to wink, otherwise he might get scolded again, so he had to pretend that he didn't know anything and didn't care about anything.
Now all the pressure is on Tianming players. As the saying goes, a dog will jump over the wall when it is anxious, and a rat will bite when it is anxious. When Tianming is anxious, his potential will be unleashed a little more.
Of course, this time it wasn't the feeling of burning on the back of the neck or the excitement of the brain's potential, but more of a surge of quick wit.
Yes, I really can’t tell you why, then I’ll be done with it if I don’t say no!
"That's it..." Tianming shook his head and said pretending to be mysterious,
"I think Master Xun, you should know everything, so you don't need me to say it again, right?"
"Oh..." Xunzi chuckled, stroked his beard repeatedly, and actually accepted Tianming's nonsense answer, and even praised him a few more times,
"My little friend is quick and thoughtful, and his attainments in the art of gaming are truly among the best in the world. I admire you, I admire you!"
"You're welcome, you're welcome..." Tianming was praised inexplicably. He had no idea why and could only agree with a smile.
Yan Lu on the side couldn't help but twitch his eyelids. It seems that the uncle really likes this kid, and can even accept this nonsense... In fact, Xunzi's thoughts are not enlightened, and he is adding chaos to Tianming. He just thinks that Tianming's behavior is psychological warfare, using sudden surprises. The Ku wait interrupts the enemy's thoughts while creating additional pressure.
This kind of guess can be regarded as the most reasonable guess about the behavior of Mo Ming, who is constantly disconnected.
Tianming's deceptive answer only further confirmed Xunzi's guess. Smart people think too much, so this is inevitable.
After receiving the answer, Xunzi stopped talking and got to the point.
"I know the rules of little friend Ziming. I lost this game and I owe you a promise. If you need anything in the future, just come to me."
"Thank you, Master Xun, thank you very much, Master Xun!" Tianming was overjoyed when he finally achieved his goal, and said goodbye to Xunzi half-bakedly.
Afterwards, Yan Lu and Tianming left the chess room. Xunzi, who was alone in the room, looked at the game of chess in front of him, and the more he looked at it, the happier he felt.
He was extremely satisfied with his opponent this time, Tian Ming. The entire chess game was something he had never seen before, but the subtlety of the layout and the depth of his thoughts were something he had never imagined.
In one word - enjoyable! The only flaw is...that child is weird. Not only his behavior was weird, but he also seemed... Thinking of this, Xunzi shook his head and didn't go into details any more.
He is just a chess friend who has been friends for many years. He does not need to know all the secrets of others.
At this time, a clanging sound suddenly came from behind Xunzi. He turned around to follow the sound and saw a round coin with a square hole rolling towards him from the window, and finally stopped next to his leg.
Xunzi picked up the big coin and looked at it in confusion, and then looked thoughtfully at the criss-crossed window panes behind him. His brows wrinkled at first, and then slowly relaxed.
At the same time, outside the bamboo forest, Yan Lu, Tianming and Zhang Liang met again. Tianming complained to Zhang Liang about the flaws in the other party's plan, and explained in detail how he dealt with Xunzi tactfully. Zhang Liang then deceived him into going somewhere else to cool off.
The two senior brothers were left, chatting about the chess game while walking towards the Little Sage's Manor. Yan Lu asked Zhang Liang doubtfully,
"I can see that you used the reflection of the mirror to guide Tianming's move, but how did you know from such a distance how Uncle Master made the move?" It couldn't be that Zhang Liang had already calculated where Xunzi would make the move.
Go is about layout. If you are familiar with the opponent's moves, it is not impossible to predict the opponent's moves in the second half of a game. However, firstly, the level gap between the two sides is not small. Secondly, it has to be in the later stages. .
When there are one or two chess pieces in the front, it is impossible for you to guess them all. Zhang Liang smiled warmly and asked Yan Ludao,
"Senior brother, have you ever heard of the term 'small hole imaging'?"
"Huh?" Yan Lu raised his eyebrows and shook his head hesitantly.
"I've never heard of it."
"Haha, this is a strange phenomenon mentioned in "Mozi Jing Shuo"." Zhang Liang explained with a smile.
