"Even if you kill the chess spirit, Zhao Yunxiang's obsession will not disappear. He can still overturn the underground river and prevent you from ever getting Bingdi Snow Lotus."
When Mr. Da said this, I felt a little embarrassed.
So, we have no other choice but to defeat Zhao Yunxiang in the chess game?
It's a pity that I know nothing about Go, not to mention that the opponent is a great chess master. How can we win?
Looking back, I saw Wei Nanshan standing behind me, looking at me expectantly.
"Young Cheng, whether you can get the Bingdi Lotus is related to the fate of the entire China. It all depends on you!"
Wei Nanshan's words made me realize that the burden on my shoulders is as heavy as a mountain. Apart from mustering up the courage to face difficulties, I absolutely cannot escape.
"Everyone, do any of you know how to play Go?"
Since I don’t understand Go, I can only turn around and ask for help from my friends.
"Xiao Chengzi, I've never been interested in these board games, you know that."
Lonnie said helplessly.
"I did learn Go for a while when I was a child, but it was only at an amateur level. I have almost forgotten it now. It is impossible to beat the master."
Liao Xian'er also waved her hands, not having the courage to play against the chess master.
As for Jing Jing Jing and the three Liaodong brothers, they have never been exposed to Go, so they can't be counted on at all.
In this way, I could only look at Bai Ze for help.
"I come!"
Bai Ze did not hesitate and stepped forward directly.
"After all, we are also a beginner chess player. If we can beat the chess master, we will be able to boast in the future!"
I asked in confusion: "Brother Bai, you are actually a professional chess player, why haven't I heard of you?"
Bai Ze chuckled: "Brother Cheng, although we are considered brothers, I am older than you and have experienced more things than you. You should know this."
"A few years ago, the inner fifth hall was not so turbulent. I had nothing to do, so I signed up for a Go class and studied for a while."
"Don't tell me, after I got the first dan rank, I represented the provincial team in several national competitions!"
I couldn't help but give a thumbs up and looked at Bai Ze with admiration. I didn't expect him to have talent in this area, but I didn't expect it.
Although he is only a first-level player, he is still considered a professional chess player. If he plays against Zhao Yunxiang, he may have a slight chance of winning.
"Brother Bai, if that's the case, then it all depends on you!"
Bai Ze nodded, didn't say much, and then walked towards the pavilion with his head held high.
We followed Bai Ze, and as we got closer to the pavilion, I finally saw clearly the true face of the chess spirit Zhao Yunxiang.
He is about sixty years old, wearing a white Tang suit, sitting cross-legged on the futon, looking at the stone chessboard under his feet, his expression extremely focused.
If it weren't for that somewhat illusory figure, at first glance, Zhao Yunxiang would be just an ordinary old man on the street.
After arriving at the periphery of the pavilion, we stopped, and Bai Ze jumped across from Zhao Yunxiang.
"Senior, I love playing chess. I'm here to ask you for advice on a game. Can you?"
"Come on!"
Zhao Yunxiang didn't even look at Bai Ze, he just pointed at the futon opposite him and said.
Bai Ze responded, and then Huo sat cross-legged opposite Zhao Yunxiang.
Zhao Yunxiang waved his wrist, and the messy chessboard was immediately cleared away.
At the same time, two boxes of black and white chess pieces appeared beside Zhao Yunxiang and Bai Ze.
"you first."
Zhao Yunxiang pointed at Bai Ze and said in a deep voice.
"Okay, you're welcome, junior."
Bai Ze knew that when playing against such a master, the side that moves first would have a great advantage, so he did not refuse, took out a black stone, and placed it in the center of the chessboard.
Almost instantly, a white stone flew up from the chess box next to Zhao Yunxiang and landed next to the black stone.
Bai Ze continued to follow his plan and kept playing black pieces, while Zhao Yunxiang almost didn't think about it and kept releasing white pieces to surround Bai Ze.
Although I couldn't understand it, I felt a little nervous from the solemn atmosphere around me. I could only pray in my heart that Bai Ze could win this game as soon as possible.
Not long after, most of the space on the chessboard was completely occupied by chess pieces from both sides. Bai Ze's chess playing speed became slower and slower. Every move he made took a long time to think about.
I even noticed that there was a thin layer of sweat on Bai Ze's forehead.
Obviously, playing against the chess master was also a huge drain on his mental energy.
On the other hand, there was no expression on Zhao Yunxiang's face, and every move he made seemed very relaxed. Under his pursuit and interception, the situation facing Bai Ze became increasingly difficult.
Suddenly, Bai Ze picked up the black stone he had just put down and put it in another place.
"I thought wrong just now, I hope senior won't be offended."
After making the move, Bai Ze said to Zhao Yunxiang with a smile.
"Those who regret it will be eliminated!"
Zhao Yunxiang didn't even look at him, and said in an extremely cold voice.
"Senior, you already have such a huge advantage, so what if you make me regret one move? Don't be so stingy..."
"Those who regret it will be eliminated!"
Bai Ze wanted to persuade Zhao Yunxiang through hard words, but Zhao Yunxiang didn't give him any face, and just repeated the same sentence in a cold voice.
"Those who regret it will be eliminated!"
Bai Ze wanted to continue arguing, but suddenly, Zhao Yunxiang shouted loudly, his body suddenly swelled, his eyes bulged, his mouth opened wide, and he turned into a hateful monster in an instant!
"Those who disrupt the rules of chess will die!"
Zhao Yunxiang roared and rushed towards Bai Ze.
Bai Ze turned pale with fright and quickly waved his hands: "Senior, wait a minute!"
"I was wrong, why don't I regret my move?"
As soon as he finished speaking, the monster that Zhao Yunxiang transformed into stopped instantly and sat back down, regaining his image as a chess expert.
Bai Ze took a deep breath, wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, and placed the chess piece in its previous position.
The scene just now shocked even me, because Zhao Yunxiang's change was too sudden, and the monster he transformed into was so violent that it permeated the entire pavilion, blocking our sight.
I have no doubt that if Zhao Yunxiang had taken action just now, Bai Ze would have been unable to fight back, and we would not even have had time to rescue him.
"Boy, follow the rules and don't make any moves outside the game. Otherwise, once the chess spirit gets angry, I won't be able to stop it!"
Mr. Da also warned solemnly.
Bai Ze didn't dare to say anything, he just nodded slightly and continued to play chess.
However, although Bai Ze has tried his best, I can see that the gap between his and Zhao Yunxiang's chess skills is too huge.
Coupled with the fact that he couldn't use some off-board moves, Bai Ze couldn't hold on any longer.
