Section 300: A residual game
Section 300: A game of chess
The Mo Family Immortal Island is very large. Outside, there is only one mountain that looks like a sky sword. In fact, there are actually thirty-six large and small peaks. However, from the location where Shi Yan climbed the island, the other peaks were covered by the main peak that looks like a sky sword.
The island composed of thirty-six mountains is already a huge island.
The chess house that Shi Yan was going to this time occupied the twelve peaks, which is enough to prove the Mohist emphasis on these chess generals.
Let Zhu Xie and Thietuo and the other two pack their luggage, follow Mo Youfeng to climb the steps, and go to the mountain where the main hall of the chess house is located.
Because it is an island, the oncoming wind has a damp and fishy smell, which makes it uncomfortable. Fortunately, there are many unknown small purple flowers planted on both sides of the road, and the rich aroma of the flowers dilutes the smell of the sea breeze.
Although the Mo family is a puppet family, they are not as uber-like as Tie Sen City. Compared with the hardness of Tie Sen City, the Mo family fairy island is softer.
On the way, Shi Yan carefully opened the [Sense of the Wild Vein] to detect the direction of the Mo Family Immortal Island, so as to accurately figure out the inner distribution of the Mo Family Immortal Island. However, halfway through the exploration of the spiritual power, it was blocked. It was not because of things like barriers, but because the inside of these peaks was empty!
This discovery made Shi Yan's heart shocked. Such a huge island had been hollowed out inside! Shi Yan walked quietly on the mountain road, looking around carefully.
"The scenery on my Mo Family Immortal Island is not bad, right?" Mo Youfeng said with a smile.
Shi Yan nodded vaguely and praised: "Among the islands I have seen, the Mo Family Immortal Island can rank among the top three."
Mo Youfeng smiled and said nothing, and continued to lead the way. Shi Yan continued to look at the Mo family fairy island. He found that the patrol of the puppet birds in the sky was intervals, patrolling every ten minutes, with only two minutes of alternating time. In other words, if you want to break into the Mo family, it must be completed within two minutes, otherwise you will be discovered by the puppet bird. Of course, you can also choose to destroy the puppet bird, but Shi Yan did not have a deep understanding of the puppet and did not know what would happen after destroying the puppet bird. This change was abandoned behind his mind.
It's actually more practical to land on the island in two minutes.
The mountain road is curved, with flowers and ancient trees planted on both sides. The ancient trees are strange in shape, but exuding a strange beauty. Walking past the mountainside, an old man attracted Shi Yan's attention.
Under a huge and ancient tree, an old man in a sloppy yellowed robe was facing a stone chessboard in a daze.
Shi Yan was curious and came forward to watch. It turned out that this sloppy old man was actually playing chess. However, Shi Yan watched for a long time, but he didn't expect the old man to take the next step.
Gradually, Shi Yan discovered that there was something strange about this game of chess. Speaking of which, this game of chess has ended, and Bai Zi has no way to follow, and it is already a game of dead chess. But how could an old man think so focusedly in a game of dead chess? Shi Yan continued to read and deduce the way of chess. Shi Yan couldn't help but admire that both of them were all peerless, and at least worthy of being the name of a five-star chess player. The ending seems to end, but it makes people feel that the path of chess is still unresolved. It seems that there is a hidden way of chess in it, and although he thinks about it, it still doesn't work.
At this time, the sloppy old man seemed to have found Shi Yan standing aside, raised his head and cursed: "Get out, get out of here, don't you see me thinking about something?"
"Master, this is the newly recruited chess player from Master. His name is Xu Yan. He doesn't understand Master's taboos, so he rashly disturbs Master and asks Master to atone for his sins." This sloppy old man in yellow is actually Mo Youfeng's master!
Mo Youfeng quickly apologized and pulled Shi Yan away, but Shi Yan seemed to have roots and could not pull it. Mo Youfeng immediately looked at Zhu Xie, Thomas, Akiko, and Taihao with a wry smile, hoping that the three of them would help. But how could the three of them disobey Shi Yan's meaning? He had to smile bitterly and shake his head.
"Hey, this game of chess is interesting." Shi Yan's eyes lit up and he praised.
The sloppy old man in yellow who was about to curse suddenly heard Shi Yan's praise. He was stunned at first, and then asked ecstatically: "Hmm? Do you understand chess?"
"Of course, otherwise what will I do in the chess house?" Shi Yan thought the old man's question was ridiculous. Is it fun to watch if he doesn't know what kind of chess you can watch?
"No, there are guys in the chess house who don't understand what chess is." He shook his head, talked about the extremely disdainful people in the chess house, and looked back at Shi Yan, saying, "Since you understand chess, what's the game with me?"
"Okay!" Although Shi Yan doesn't like playing chess, it's because when he was learning chess, the group of people under the teacher was too weak and boring, so Shi Yan doesn't like playing chess. However, when he saw an interesting chess game, he still felt itchy and couldn't wait to sit down.
However, the game of chess in front of him was very interesting. Shi Yan was fascinated by the fact that he was a little reluctant to leave, "Or what if we continue this game?"
The old man was a little surprised. Over the years, Shi Yan was not the first person to watch this endgame, but Shi Yan was the first person to continue the endgame.
This is a game of 361 pieces, with black and white. It was set up by him and a generation of five-star chess players fifty years ago. Black and white have the advantage, and Bai Zi is trapped in the cage. It seems to be a foregone conclusion, but he refuses to admit defeat. He always feels that Bai Zi has a way to go in this game, not a dead end. He thinks that it will take fifty years, and everyone thinks he is crazy. Some people laugh at him and some scold him, but he has always been determined that he has not lost. White chess must have a living path.
In the past fifty years, Shi Yan was the first person to ask for this and the only one.
The old man in sloppy yellow asked, "So I play this game? Didn't you realize it's a dead game?"
Shi Yan smiled and said, "There is no life or death in chess, but in people."
"Hahaha, what a chess is not alive and dead, it's really wonderful!" The sloppy old man in yellow smiled, "Then let's continue this game, are you holding a black or a white one?"
Shi Yan thought for a while and said, "The greatest pleasure of playing chess is to win in adversity, not with a stable victory. If I play chess, I find fun. If there is no fun at all, then what else can I play? Of course I am holding a white piece."
"Okay, as you wish, I will hold the white son!" The sloppy old man in yellow nodded and said, "The end of this game is a black son, so white son will go first. Please."
Shi Yan nodded, raised a son and put it down.
The sloppy old man in yellow was slightly surprised. He studied chess in this life, especially the sloppy game under the tree. He didn't know how many years he thought about it and could not make a thousand times. But every time he didn't think about it for a long time before he made a move. However, the man in front of him came up and made a move. He suddenly felt a little angry and secretly guessed that this man actually didn't understand chess? But in the past fifty years, he was the first person to play chess with him. The sloppy old man in yellow didn't want to miss this opportunity and played chess patiently.
An hour later, looking at the white chess piece that had fallen on the chessboard, as usual, the white chess was still in an irreversible dead end.
The sloppy old man in yellow sighed slightly, looking dim.
In the chess hall, Mo Zihao ordered his disciples to wait for the hall to express his importance to Shi Yan, but an hour passed, but Shi Yan still did not arrive.
Shi Yan should have arrived at the Mo Family Immortal Island one hour ago, from the entrance to the chess house, only a quarter of an hour was gone, but now an hour had not arrived, which made the brothers and brothers in the hall dissatisfied.
"This Xu Yan is too arrogant!" Someone said dissatisfied.
"Yes, in order to welcome him, we were waiting here for an hour."
"Maybe he hasn't arrived at the Mo Family Immortal Island yet?" someone asked.
"No, the third senior brother had already seen him land on the island."
"Is he lost his way?" Yue Shuangxuan laughed and said, "This kind of person can actually enter the chess room and we still have to welcome him. Master is too much of a problem."
Mo Zihao sat on the head seat, looked at Yue Shuangxuan with his eyes open, and said nothing.
At this moment, a little boy came running and said while running: "Master, Master, Senior Brother Youfeng said they were stopped by the monster old man on the road!"
The hall suddenly burst into laughter, and someone joked: "Is that weird old man pulling Xu Yan to find his way to survive?"
"Maybe it's just flattering the crazy old man." As soon as this sentence came out, he burst into laughter.
"Master, why do you have to wait for such a person who doesn't keep up with time?" Yue Shuangxuan asked.
Mo Zihao glanced at him lightly, and did not speak, but slowly stood up and walked out of the hall.
Seeing Mo Zihao walk out of the hall, even though he breathed a sigh of relief, he immediately scattered into birds and beasts.
However, Mo Zihao said, "Come with me."
Everyone looked at Mo Zihao in surprise, and was so surprised that they couldn't speak. After a while, someone asked carefully: "Master, are you asking us to come and greet me?"
But no one answered him.
Everyone was curious about Xu Yan who was about to come. Who was he?
Only Yue Shuangxuan blushed. The senior brother and the chief of the chess house actually wanted to go to welcome a newcomer in person! How could she be willing to do this!
The group came to the hillside in a mighty manner, and there were two figures under the huge ancient tree.
When Mo Youfeng saw his master come in person, he was surprised to let him go aside.
Mo Zihao stepped forward and watched the chess game, frowned slightly. This was clearly a dead game. Xu Yan was just struggling hard, but the result was still unchanged.
Even the sloppy old man in yellow thought so. He shook his head regretfully and said, "This game is over."
Everyone under the ancient tree had such an expression, smiled and shook their heads. Looking at the sloppy old man in yellow, he had no respect at all, but was a little contempt. When he looked at Shi Yan, this contempt was even more serious. I really don't know what is the flattering spirit that even a crazy old man wants to flatter. Everyone is worth greeting in person.
"Hey, it's not easy for you to do this, but you can only stop there." The sloppy old man in yellow shook his head regretfully, "You took the path I never thought of, but it still doesn't work."
The mountainside was quiet, and the atmosphere between the venue became a bit weird.
However, at this moment, Shi Yan suddenly clapped his hands and said happily: "It's interesting, this chess is really interesting!"
As he said that, he grabbed a piece and placed it on the chessboard.
Chapter completed!
