The old monk smiled: "Sure enough, all the people in the academy are eloquent people. Then Lao Na will wait and see to see how Mr. Six will die and survive."
Just here, a shout came from under the pavilion: "I am the sage of Chu State Chess. If I want to go to the pavilion to watch the chess game, I hope the master can do it conveniently."
The old monk said: "Chu State Chess Saint? He seems to be a man who understands chess, Mr. Six, would you like to let him enter the pavilion?"
Zhou Fei shrugged: "It doesn't matter."
The old monk nodded: "Please come up."
Chu Guoqi Sheng jumped onto the pavilion.
When he saw the old monk in the pavilion, he was a little surprised.
This monk made him feel familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had seen him for a while.
The old monk looked at this pretentious Chu State Chess sage, and said, "What's your name? Who did you learn from?"
Because he couldn't figure out the number of stages of the old monk, Chu Guoqi sage restrained his pride and replied calmly: "The old man's surname is Zhong Minggui, and his master is Cao Rui."
"It turned out to be Cao Rui's apprentice, you might be better than your teacher now?"
"My teacher is old and my thinking ability is not as good as before. I can already beat it." Zhong Gui replied.
"Then you really didn't lie, you really know chess skills. Just stand by and watch." The old monk said lightly.
This made Zhong Gui very uncomfortable. He said that he understood a little but was only modest, but the old monk said that he knew a little too, which made it clear that he was ruining people.
As a chess sage of the Chu Kingdom, Zhong Gui has only admired two and a half people in his life.
One is the great wild chess saint who has disappeared for a long time, Ji Zixing.
One is Master Xinfan who passed away for many years in Xuankong Temple.
The remaining half is his teacher Cao Rui.
Except for these three people, none of the other chess masters can catch his eye.
The old monk was so arrogant, he actually took his self-effacement seriously, saying that he only understood a little.
If it weren't for the Hanging Temple, the other side's territory, Zhong Gui would really have a good theory with this old monk.
But there is a chance for a while.
Zhou Fei, this kid doesn't know chess at all, and he will lose this game soon. When he lost, he went to himself, and taught this old monk who didn't know the heights and earth, so that he could understand what he meant by a little understanding.
Zhonggui subconsciously
He looked at the chessboard and was stunned.
There was a sarcastic smile at the corner of his mouth.
Zhou Fei really didn't understand chess.
There is no such thing as a chess player in the world.
Self-defeating.
The old monk twisted his son and put it down slowly.
He has played this endgame for decades. It can be said that every move of chess has been engraved in his mind, even Zhou Fei’s move at this moment, he has made corresponding calculations, so without any hesitation, he fell. Made his own chess.
Zhong Gui praised to himself.
The old monk has something.
This move was extremely clever, and Zhou Fei would lose if he took three more moves at most.
Zhong Gui was no longer interested in the chess game, and his eyes fell on the old monk's face again.
That familiar feeling came up again.
After a while, Zhong Gui shook his whole body and almost knelt on the ground, saying in a trembling voice: "Master Xinfan, haven't you passed away long ago? Why are you still alive."
Master Xinfan was a little surprised, and looked up at Zhong Gui: "Do you recognize me?"
"There is a portrait of you in the master's study room." Zhong Gui's voice trembled fiercely, and then he knelt down with a bang. "There were so many collisions before the juniors, I hope Master forgive me."
"I don't know if it's not guilty, let's talk about collision." Master Xinfan said lightly: "Get up."
Zhong Gui stood up cautiously, opened his mouth several times, and closed it several times.
"What do you want to ask me?" Master Xinfan said.
Zhong Gui plucked up the courage and said, "Master, the outside world is rumored that you have passed away. What is going on?"
The master was silent for a long time, and slowly said: "More than sixty years ago, in addition to the Buddhism of the Xuankong Temple, the other world-famous is chess. Because the monks of the Xuankong Temple love to play chess, they even brought the surrounding towns to the temple. I became obsessed with playing chess. In the end, this chess hobby swept the entire Da Qin, and Qin was also turned into a chess country.
"At that time, the famous chess masters all came from the State of Qin, and the strongest chess masters were all in the Xuankong Temple. Later, a young man came to the Xuankong Temple and wanted to challenge the chess masters in the temple. Such things have long been commonplace in Xuankong Temple. , They did not turn this young man out, but selected a few monks with decent chess skills to play chess with him."
"The challengers in the past will be defeated at this level, but this young man does have a foundation.
Regardless, he didn't give the monks in the temple any chance from the first game. Every game was crushed, and the time was controlled within a stick of incense. So the temple began to pay attention to him, and the monks sent out became stronger and stronger, but they still couldn't play. "
"Finally, he stood in front of me. I played with him in seven rounds. The first six rounds were tied. By the time of the last round, three days and three nights had passed. And the last round was not so much a match. , It’s better to say that we are communicating. Because we both think that each other is a rare master, instead of spending energy on the battle, it is better to join hands to understand the endgame. So I took out the most famous endgame in Xuankong Temple and invited him Enlightenment together."
"Unexpectedly, I had a disagreement with him on a move, and the disagreement turned into a quarrel in the end. I was also more impulsive at the time and slapped the opponent in a hurry. Although I regretted it after the game, And apologized to him. But the young man refused to accept my apology and went down the mountain angrily. After that, I stared at the tragedy and thought for a long time, and found that I was wrong after all. Since then, I am not playing chess, but living in seclusion in the great sky mountain. , Confess the mistakes I made in the past."
Zhong Gui was dumbfounded.
He is extremely arrogant about chess. He believes that no one is his opponent when playing today, and only those who have disappeared in the long river of history can win him.
Now that Master Xinfan showed up, he was naturally convinced, but Master Xinfan said that he lost to another person that year.
Who is so sharp
Zhong Gui thought for a long time, his face suddenly changed.
He didn't dare to ask questions, after all, it was Master Xinfan's fault that happened back then. At this moment, if he mentioned the person's name, it would be a bit of a slap in the face.
"Master, since you swear not to play chess, why do you..." Zhong Gui changed the subject.
Master Xinfan smiled slightly.
it is more than words.
Zhong Gui also understood. He sat down quietly and watched the game without saying a word.
The game seems clear, but there are many changes. Whether it is white or black, it seems that there is a chance to reverse the game in the next second, and it may collapse in the next step.
At this moment, there is a balance of power on the board, and white and black can't help each other.
Zhou Fei's index finger and middle finger were twisting a chess piece, and the other hand was supporting his cheek, as if he had settled.
