Yang Xiao set a time for the Tianlong chess game to start, and more and more people rushed to Yujing City.
Nowadays, there are more extraordinary people coming from Dongzhou in Yujing Mansion, and countless practitioners from Yujing City have gathered outside the mansion.
They are all waiting for the day when the Tianlong chess game starts. At that time, they will also go to the chess peak to watch chess.
Liu Zong has not arrived yet. Some people claim to have seen traces of him in Yujing Mansion, but they do not know whether it is true or not. The first person in the descendants of Xihua Holy Mountain has an unpredictable behavior.
In addition, news of the arrival of Ye Futian, the master of the Holy Land Palace in the Holy Land of Huangzhou, also spread, causing many people to talk.
Many people felt a little sad and slightly sympathized with Huangzhou.
The master of the Holy Land Palace came in person for the chessboard left by the saint. This was certainly not a glorious thing. Other Dongzhou Holy Lands were attended by juniors and practitioners. Wherever there would be someone with the sect master level in person, that was a saint.
Only the land of Huangzhou, which is the weakest and the holy land has no saints, would be like this.
Moreover, I heard that the prince and palace master was extremely talented, but in order to stay in the chess palace, he went to play chess in person, and his chess style was extremely bad, which was even more embarrassing.
Jiuzhou and Huangzhou exist in name only. The Holy Land orthodoxy may not exist for many years before it will be banned. However, the Palace Master of the Holy Land of Huangzhou can now put down his dignity and walk out of Huangzhou, which is somewhat admirable. At least it can be seen that this princely palace master He is working hard for Huangzhou, but it is a pity that even though his talent is extraordinary, his level is still low, and it is probably impossible to reverse the decline in a few years.
… …
At this time, in the courtyard where Ye Futian was in the Yujing Mansion, there were many books and jade slips in front of him, all about chess. Many of them were even dragged down from the Chess Saint Villa on the mountain by Jiu Gongzi for Ye Futian to borrow.
The Chess Saint is the number one player in chess in Kyushu, and there are a group of people with extremely superb chess skills gathered in the Chess Saint Villa. Over the years, some of the chess master's chess skills and special chess formations have been carved into books or jade slips for preservation. It can be passed down from generation to generation in the future without being lost.
As for these practitioners, as long as they are recognized by the nine disciples of the Chess Saint, they can freely borrow them. However, there are very few people like Ye Futian who are willing to spend time on this. They generally just take a look at those extremely Famous chess records, learn from them.
But Ye Futian, no matter what books he has, as long as they are about chess, he will read them all.
This was a habit he had developed in the thatched cottage. He had been reading crazily in the cave in the thatched cottage. When the teacher taught him, he also asked him to read and practice spells, and practice all spells, no matter how difficult or easy. In the end, it was proved that the teacher That's right. You will see its meaning after reading the book a hundred times, and the same is true for practicing.
Now, Ye Futian's mind is full of chess games, as if there is a set of chess records imprinted in his mind that can't be removed, probably because these days are so crazy.
Learning new things is a very interesting thing, especially when Ye Futian perceived the extraordinary qualities of chess from the chess game, so he became even more addicted to it.
At this time, a figure came up, threw a volume of books in front of Ye Futian, and said, "Are you planning to read all the books in Qi Sheng Villa?"
This figure is none other than Ninth Young Master. He followed his teacher to practice chess, but he was never as crazy as Ye Futian. He had only read a small part of the books.
"If you are born weak, you will have to make up for it the day after tomorrow." Ye Futian said with a smile: "Thank you for your hard work."
Fortunately, practitioners are different from ordinary people. Mortal people are far less energetic and spiritual than practitioners, so learning is naturally difficult. But for a sage at Ye Futian's level, he can understand it at a glance and only needs to think about how to use it.
"It's not hard, it's just that I haven't gone to Qingyu Tower to see my beauty these days." Ninth Young Master was a little depressed: "If I had known better, I wouldn't have brought you here."
"It's too late to regret now." Ye Futian said with a smile.
The Ninth Young Master shook his head helplessly: "What kind of person are you, the Palace Master of the Deserted State Holy Land? Are you lustful and shameless? Or are you diligent and studious?"
When this guy was in Qingyu Tower, he definitely looked like a romantic young man. Who knew he would be so eager to learn at that time.
"Me?" Ye Futian said with a smile: "Of course I am the handsome young man with unparalleled talent in Yushu Linfeng."
"Show some shame." Ninth Young Master was speechless. This guy was too thick-skinned.
"Seriously, the time is coming soon. Are you a little sure that you are still the only person I recommend to join the house? After all, I have senior brothers and sisters here. I don't need to worry about these things at all. I just need to be a quiet dude. , I didn’t have much hope for you before, but now that you are so eager to learn, is there really a chance?"
The Ninth Young Master looked at Ye Futian with a strange look in his eyes, but then he laughed at himself and shook his head: "Why am I so confused with you? The second senior brother invited Liu Zong, and Zhou Zichao, Han Jing and others, even if you How can it be possible to break the Tianlong chess game before them with such rapid progress? Or maybe, none of you can break the chess game."
After saying that, he shook his head and left, thinking that he would have such a ridiculous idea.
"This young man is quite interesting." Wan Xiang Xianjun said looking at the direction in which the Ninth Young Master left.
"He is indeed a wonderful man. He ranks last among the nine disciples. He is naturally carefree and free and easy." Ye Futian said with a smile. He was also well cared for in the thatched cottage.
"How are you feeling recently?" Wanxiang Xianjun asked.
"I feel like I can deduce the chess game on my own. Of course, I'm still not that good at what my uncle said. I seem to be more inclined to predict the chess game based on my feelings." Ye Futian said.
"Everyone's perception of practicing the same thing is different. You don't need to be the same as me." Wan Xiang said: "I didn't know much about chess before and I broke six games. Now I will accompany you to read these chess books. , can be regarded as proficient in chess skills, and can calculate the overall situation more specifically, and form a changing chess game in my mind. If I play again, I conservatively estimate that I should be able to break eight games, and the possibility of breaking all nine games is also very high."
Wanxiang spoke.
"I will integrate what my uncle taught me and what I have learned, and try the Nine Chess Game tomorrow." Ye Futian said.
"Okay." Wanxiang Xianjun nodded: "You can try different methods. For example, reverse the chess path. You can calculate the possible positions of the opponent's moves, but let nature take its course to see if it is the same as you thought, and then watch the changes in the chess game. No matter what, you don’t have to win.”
"I understand." Ye Futian nodded.
"Listening to you talking about chess all day long, I can be considered a master of chess." Zhuge Mingyue and Gu Dongliu came over with smiles. They had read some chess records at random these days, but they felt that it was a bit energy-consuming, so they still put their time on In practice.
This kind of thing that relies on talent should be left to the junior brother.
"Second Senior Sister, Third Senior Brother." Ye Futian shouted.
"Junior brother, I don't understand the way of chess, so I can't help you. However, the ways are connected. The way of chess is also the way of spiritual practice. Chess battles are also like martial arts battles. Every move is about offense and defense. If you want to defeat your opponent, then you must defend yourself against the opponent. To counterattack with an attack, or to launch a stronger attack than the opponent, on the chess battlefield, what you have to do is to control the overall situation, therefore, the strength of mental will is also particularly important in the chess battle." Gu Dongliu said.
Ye Futian nodded slightly: "I remember what Third Senior Brother said."
"Don't let yourself get too tired." Gu Dongliu said softly. These days, Ye Futian didn't even rest. Practice should not be done in isolation. Chess is extremely draining of mental energy, and naturally it is even more so. After a long time, he will be very tired.
Ye Futian smiled and nodded: "Don't worry, senior brother, I have some interest in chess itself."
Gu Dongliu nodded without saying much.
In the early morning of the next day, Ye Futian went up to the chess peak. The nine chess games were still there. There were even some people sitting cross-legged on the boulders on the chess peak. They had been studying and challenging the chess games at the chess peak, in order to continue the chess game. Prepare for the coming battle of Tianlong chess game.
Although they also know that there is little hope, since they are here, they have to give it a try after all. Moreover, they can also meet the top talents in Dongzhou, which is also an experience.
When Ye Futian stepped onto the first chess game, the old chess guard looked at him and said, "You have already broken six major chess games before. You can start directly from the seventh chess game without repeating it."
He was very unhappy when he played against Ye Futian that day.
Ye Futian couldn't help but smile when he saw the old man's expression: "I still want to start over, please give me advice from my seniors."
"Okay." The old man nodded impatiently, then waved his palm, and suddenly the chess piece formed by the condensed power of the rules fell down with a loud noise.
Ye Futian watched the movement of ideas freely, allowing himself to see more clearly, as if he were on the chessboard, directing the chess battle. He also waved his hand and the chess pieces fell without any hesitation.
The old man made consecutive moves, and Ye Futian followed suit. Soon the old man glanced at Ye Futian in surprise.
This time, Ye Futian did not use the extremely unbearable chess strategy as before.
However, this level of chess skills is too bad.
There are more and more chess pieces on the chessboard, and a chessboard seems to appear in Ye Futian's mind. This chessboard is the projection of the chess game in front of him, and it is constantly evolving. This is calculation and deduction of the chess game.
Waving his palms, Ye Futian made a move, but his eyes were fixed on several other positions. He felt that the old man's next move should be in one of these places. He even looked directly at one place. Sure enough, the next moment, the old man's chess pieces were heavy. As it fell, a majestic force formed, and the treasure tripod crazily crushed Ye Futian's mental will, trying to crush him.
After a while, Ye Futian was defeated, but he did not leave. Instead, he said: "Old sir, let's have another round."
The old man frowned, but continued.
"Old sir, continue." Next, Ye Futian kept repeating, and the old man said angrily: "Why are you wasting your and my time here if your chess skills are so bad?"
Ye Futian didn't care and asked to continue with a smile. Through actual combat, he was confirming what he had learned these days.
On the chess peak, many people looked at Ye Futian. This guy... didn't know how to play chess at all. It was indeed a waste of time. It should have been the old man he was traveling with who guided him that day to break six games in a row!
