Mu Yu felt that he had arrived at the boundless sea, with blue waves and blue sky, gentle wind and clear clouds, seagulls swarming in the sea, and the fresh salty smell of liquid sedge assailed his nostrils.
He lowered his head and saw that the place he was standing on was a reef suspended on the sea. There were beautiful corals growing next to it. The corals could not survive without the water. Muyu knew that his consciousness was brought into the world again. Among the monuments.
He walked to the edge of the coral reef, looked east, and was surprised to find huge chess pieces floating on the sea. The chess pieces are black and red in color and stand in an orderly manner on the water. They will not drift with the current or get wet by the waves, but will gently wave in the east with the waves.
"I'm here." A calm voice came from behind Mu Yu. He looked up and saw a red coral reef on the other side. Walking in front of it was an elegant middle-aged man with a gentle expression and eyes as unfathomable as the sea.
"Who am I? What did I want to do that time?" With this experience, Mu Yu was already surprised by Fu Tianran that time, but he hoped that Fu Tianran would appear that time. He hadn't seen him for a long time. Calm.
"His name is Alfa Gou. I can call him Chess Soul. I need to play a wrong game with him that time." The middle-aged man said calmly.
"Ah, Alpha Dog? Why is that name so weird! Who gave it to me? Why do you want to be called a dog? What kind of dog demon am I?" Mu Yu found it very strange.
The middle-aged man said calmly: "His name is Alfa Gou. Whoever names him doesn't care about the requirements. If I want to pass the test, I need to finish the game with him."
The chess spirit points to the chess game where black and red stones intersect on the sea level. The chess game exudes strange fluctuations of liquid crystals, which is breathtaking and makes people intoxicated.
But Mu Yu just blinked and broke away from the intoxicating spiritual power, showing a bitter face: "Why do everyone always ask for Dong Go when it comes to Dong Qi? He doesn't know Go! He Xiangqi Dongde It’s pretty good, but can you change it to Eastern chess? It’s okay to play Beast chess. Oh, that’s wrong! If it doesn’t work, you can change the black and red chess to backgammon. He’s also very good at backgammon!”
When he was in the village, the village chief's grandfather taught him many chess skills, except Go. The village chief grandpa said that Go is the most boring game in the world. Go is very demanding to count back and forth, so you can't just be more agile and win by directly capturing the general like in Chess. It will save trouble!
But it was only after Mu Yu made an insinuation that the village chief grandpa said that because he didn't know how to play Go.
Mu Yu listed the names of a large number of chess pieces, and Rao Fu's calm chess spirit was stunned for a moment: "What about backgammon and beast chess?"
"I don't know how to play backgammon or beast chess? That's great, come on! He teaches me, he teaches me!" Muyu said, rubbing his hands.
The chess soul shook his head and said: "If he doesn't have the chess soul, Go will not be his battlefield. The way of Go is broad and profound. All the sieges in the world depend on the position of the chessboard. One is black and the other is red. There are countless changes in the battle of wits and courage. The moves are all about the tone. The raisins must be fixed. The layout is mysterious and can be attacked or defended, which is the essence of the formation. Once I learn the art of chess, I will know how to strategize and win decisively thousands of miles away."
"Talk like a human being." Mu Yu yawned, having no idea what the red chess spirit was talking about.
It was obviously the first time Qihun met such a casual person as Mu Yu, but he was not angry and continued to explain to Mu Yu.
"Being a disciple of Xiantian, one not only seeks to understand the formations to be flexible and changeable, but also seeks to apply the formations to all things in the world. Go is an epitome of this. The formations on the chessboard change due to the interference of the legs. I All that needs to be done is to exert the maximum power of the formation under the influence of the wrong leg." Qi Soul said.
"He understands the truth, but the important thing is that he doesn't know how to play Go!" Mu Yu muttered.
The chess soul waved its leg, and a black and red chess book appeared in front of Mu Yu's eyes. The chess book was a little worn, but quite primitive. There were two words "chess formation" written on it.
"Xiantian disciples are very striving to understand new knowledge. If you don't understand, I can read it here and learn from the beginning. The way of Go is a required course for every formation master."
"What the hell?"
Mu Yu looked at the thick book "Chess Formation", and his heart was racing with tens of millions of dollars. No one had ever told him that learning formations was very important to learning Go!
To be honest, Mu Yu gets a headache when he sees a thick book. When he recited a book called "Poison Sutra", he almost cried. At that time, he complained that Father Kumu could only write when he was full and had nothing to do. Such a thick book. I really want to learn "Chess Formation" this time. Do you find it too troublesome
Even if he can learn it, can he defeat the chess spirit with a new leg and improvising
"This game is the final game. I hold the black stones, and the red stones account for more. I need to win with less and win more, and turn defeat into victory. This is the purpose of the test of the second battle tablet." The chess spirit continued.
Whether the first formation tablet tests the adaptability of Zhongtian disciples to defeat the strong with the weak, and the second formation tablet tests the analytical ability of Zhongtian disciples to defeat the many with less.
"I'll talk about those frustrating words later. First, give him some confidence and let him read the rules again, and then think about how to win more with less." Mu Yu reluctantly opened the chess book and began his long road of learning.
Dong Qi can cultivate his character and hone his mind, but Mu Yu is a vigorous and free-spirited person. He can't grow vegetables and cook every day like his master Feng Haochen, so he can't do things like Dong Qi's. It suits him. Ever since he entered the world of cultivation, he has never been at peace, poking trouble everywhere and causing trouble. Every time Muyu defended himself: He originally wanted to make soy sauce, but who would have thought that the soy sauce factory would explode by itself.
Mu Yu believes that being calm is an attitude towards life, but doing what you want to do is a way of life. People can't always suppress their personality, right? Even Master often teaches them to do what they think is right and not to care about the eyes of outsiders.
The passage of time in the formation monument is different from that outside the formation. Although there is no use in practicing there, it is still a good place to study.
Mu Yu held the chess record and fumbled for the rules, almost crying. Because of his pure wood-type physique, he is still practicing to determine whether he is a genius, but it does not mean that he is suitable for learning Go, so there are a lot of question marks on his forehead while reading.
Along the way, the chess soul was willing to teach and answer all questions, so Mu Yu quickly became familiar with the rules of Go.
Strictly speaking, the rules of Go are actually not difficult. The chess pieces on the chessboard can compete with each other for "qi", occupy the chessboard with each other, and force the wrong leg to the point where there is no qi. In the end, whoever has more "eyes" wins.
The basic Eastern method can be understood in just a quarter of an hour, but a more profound layout requires years of accumulation to achieve.
It is not difficult to understand a rule, but how to skillfully use the rules to defeat the wrong leg is the most difficult.
The game between the two sides is like two armies fighting. The battlefield is changing rapidly, and only by seizing the flaw of the wrong leg can they be defeated in one fell swoop. If you make a wrong move with your high legs, you will lose everything, so you must work step by step and never be eager for quick success.
The difference between chess formation and ordinary formation is that the formation of chess formation is not fixed. Ordinary formations are not fixed once the formation is set up, but when playing Eastern chess, one person has one piece, and they take turns to play the wrong game, and the formation on the chessboard can easily be disrupted. The chess legs need to adjust their formation at any time to force the wrong leg into a blind corner, which requires strong adaptability.
The thing that makes Xiantian disciples better than Zhongtian disciples is that Xiantian disciples know how to react accurately to the mysterious formations and gain the greatest advantage from the interference of wrong legs.
But if Mu Yu is facing a mistake at this moment, it is an endgame. Kuroko is at an absolute disadvantage, and he needs to be careful every step he takes.
You can call yourself the soul of chess, just think about it and you will know how powerful that Alpha Hook is! Mu Yu's every move was within his calculations. Even if the game was fair or not, he was invincible, let alone a disadvantaged endgame.
He wanted to turn defeat into victory, but it was too difficult.
Mu Yu is not a natural chess player. He has just learned the rules and cannot defeat the chess spirit that has been immersed in chess for thousands of years. But he was a formation disciple with considerable talent. He knew that he could not look at the endgame with conventional eyes. If he wanted to win, he had to find another way!
The black and red chess game on the chessboard is much easier to understand if you look at it from the perspective of formations. Each chess piece has a formation base, so it cannot maintain the basis of the formation. And each "eye" has a formation eye, so just destroy the formation eyes of the other side and increase the number of your own formation eyes, so that your formation can be more powerful than the formation eyes of the other side!
Mu looked at the chess game on the sea level, and instead of making any hasty moves, he began to outline the formation of the sunspots in his mind. He imagined in his mind how he could break Kuroko's formation out of Hong Zi's encirclement and gain a chance of survival.
Heizi was almost in a dilemma, wondering if it was possible to survive from a desperate situation. He flipped through "The Soul of Chess", constantly looking at various chess games, evolving them in his mind to cope with the endgame in front of him.
Time flies by, one day, two days, three days...
During that period, the chess spirit did not make a sound to disturb Mu Yu's thinking. Mu Yu had been calculating his own chess game, trying to expand the black formation.
But as he gradually understood the way of Go, he found that the formation of the black piece was too clumsy. He wondered if Xu Yan, who rushed out, would be beaten to a bloody head by the red piece. It would be a dead game at all!
But since there is no test, there must be a way to pass it. Where is that method
Mu Yu had spent three days in the formation monument, but less than an hour had passed outside. Everyone was so angry that they didn't dare to breathe. They were really shocked by Mu Yu.
Could that Zhongtian disciple, who was called a waste when he first started, turn out to be a hidden genius
Luo Feilong and Ji Wenkai's faces were ashen and they were almost dripping with water. When Mu Yu came, they originally recruited Mu Yu, but seeing that Mu Yu was old and low in cultivation, they didn't want to touch him, so they laughed at him and dismissed him.
They didn't expect that the guy they ignored would turn out to be a threat to their status. If another innate disciple really appeared in the formation sect, many changes might happen. Both Luo Feilong and Ji Wenkai were spies sent by Fu Zong, and they would never allow extraneous matters to happen.
That man must die!
Master Lu looked at Mu Yu with great excitement. The talented disciple who had been hiding for so long finally came forward after torturing him until he was hungry and thirsty. How could he not be excited
Everyone outside has different thoughts. Some are excited about Mu Yu's appearance, some are envious of Mu Yu, some are jealous of Mu Yu, and some want to kill Mu Yu. None of these can affect Mu Yu for the time being. He was quietly immersed in his own thoughts, trying to find that glimmer of hope.
But what does it mean to survive a desperate situation
