Chapter 2 The Language of Chess
It's easy to think about it in the seat, but it's hard to win or lose outside the game. A few cups of bamboo pavilion flower wine, a round of pine window daytime chess.
Before April, there were three stones on Guigu Island, Qipan Mountain, one big and two small.
In the morning, at the top of the mountain, clouds and fog.
Looking down, it was faintly visible that two people were there, and the old man Cangshou and the green silk teenager were actually playing chess.
"Old man! You have to keep your word this time. Don't be naughty!" A slightly childish roar came. Between the empty peaks, it was particularly loud. It seemed that it must be the sound made by the teenager.
"Ky! I'm your master!" A slightly unprefied voice came out, with a slight sense of vicissitudes. Do you still want to leave the island?
"Good... Master! You're so cruel!" The teenager was unconvinced.
"Hmm! You can teach!" The old man said with a "comfort" face.
Looking closely, I found that the teenager was actually Yun Yi, and sitting opposite him was an old man in white Hanfu. I only saw this person, with a childlike face and crane hair, and his eyes were not turbid, and he was a fairy style.
"Master, if I command thousands of troops and horses in the future, how can I be invincible and invincible?" Yun Yi asked confidently.
"I haven't given you the key to the vertical and horizontal pavilion. That key can let you defeat any army in the world!" The old man Gu Bo was not shocked.
"I have been able to understand all the military books in the cabinet. When can I leave the island?" Yun Yi suddenly rose up respectfully to the old man and said in a central voice. Yunyi can't help it. The "ghost" of Guigu Island is really not covered. The whole island is arranged with the skill of Qimen Dunjia. No matter how you row, you can't float on this ghost island. The key is that there is everything in the vertical and horizontal pavilion, that is, is there any martial arts secret book, and there is no coach to accompany me to practice martial arts. I often miss the golden stage of martial arts practice. I am worried that it will be difficult to make progress in martial arts, so I have been thinking of the island to experience.
"I have said before that if you can beat me in chess, you can leave the island at any time!"
"But my chess has surpassed you, but you say that the chess channel also refers to the way of Go to prevent me from leaving the island." Yun Yi asked with a resentful look on his face.
"Have you ever read the books in other rooms in the pavilion?" The old man changed the topic and asked.
"What do you do when reading other books?" Yun Yi said disdainfully, "Help the world, focus on using soldiers, just read military books!"
"Yi'er, you must not have such an idea! Those who have become great careers are all knowledgeable people." The old man sighed earnestly, "Otherwise, Zhao Kuo is your lesson!"
"The apprentice knows what's wrong!" Yun Yi apologized and said, "I will read more books in other rooms in the future!"
"Alas!" The old man's eyes flashed and sighed. He knew that although his apprentice admitted his mistake on the surface, he was definitely unconvinced. He sighed, "Yi'er, you have excellent qualifications, but you always lack a heart to be a handsome man. The way to use the army is with one heart. Let you study chess is to refine your heart. Chess is the way to kill, Go is the way to attack, and playing against you is to pass on the essence of your art of war.
This can't help but remind him of the first time he saw Yun Yi that day.

Jiangdu, nameless alley, vertical and horizontal chess club.
"Who is the shopkeeper here?" A handsome teenager in cloth walked into the chess club and shouted at the house.
"In the next Zhang San, I don't know what important is for this gentleman?" A middle-aged man in plain clothes and goatee came out of the inner hall and asked.
"Do you know this?" The teenager took out a transparent jade pendant and handed it to the boss to check. This is Yun Yi, who has worked so hard to come to Jiangdu to worship his teacher.
"This..." The shopkeeper looked surprised at first, and then recovered as usual. His face did not change as fast as he did. He said, "I want to go into the inner hall to ask for instructions!"
"You are the shopkeeper, who else do you want to ask?" Yun Yi said doubtfully. However, the "keeper" turned around and walked to the inner hall, leaving him with the back of his head.
After a while, Zhang San came back and walked straight. He said with no expression on his face, "The master said that the jade pendant was not the prince's property. Now it belongs to the original owner. Please come back!"
"What did you say?" Yunyi was completely confused. What about the matter of worshipping the teacher? Even if he doesn't accept me as an apprentice, he will give me a reason. Ten thousand steps back, if you don't accept me, at least give me some food and drink. By the way, I will give me a few hundred taels of travel expenses so that I can go to Luoyang.
"The jade pendant belongs to the original owner, please come back!" Zhang San repeated.
Dare to be good, come to worship the teacher, eat the door, and the jade pendants are taken back. Others have become Lanbo Bay (Number1) of the Tang Dynasty in a year or two. What do you want? Yunyi, an unlucky child, can't even worship a master. There is not much nonsense. After leaving the vertical and horizontal chess club and looking at the bustling market in Jiangdu, it seems that I have returned to the scene when I played with the two brothers in the past, and I have a lot of feelings. His feet involuntarily walked back to the former "Tangkou" (broken temple) of the three brothers. When they walked into the broken temple, they found that some of the original "trophies" had been looted, and even the bed board was not left.
At this time, it was night. Yun Yi took off his bow and arrow, found a temple pillar, sat on the pillar, and took out a book of "Art of Shooting Experience" from his arms. This book was given to him by Li Jing when Yun Yi and Li Jing separated. It is said that it records his shooting experience of the shooting skills of the Han and Hu clans, and he often took it out to read the exercises when he was on his way. The book is divided into three parts. At the beginning, it starts with the basic skills and writes: "The way of shooting art is in place, holding the bow in the left hand, opening both feet, aligned with the shoulders, sinking under the body..." Later, a series of actions such as arrows, buckle, pre-pull, arching, aiming, stripping, relaxation, etc. are also introduced in detail. The second article is about archery skills, in which there are three major parts, namely, single archery, double archery and three archery skills, (Why are there four arrows and five arrows? It takes a few more fingers to have enough. If you can shoot so many arrows, you still need to find a bow.) The third article is about riding and shooting, which is mainly aimed at how people can still maintain the hit rate in fast movement.
Looking through this book, I can't help but think of Li Jing's words. Subconsciously looking up at the eastern sky, the three stars in the Ziwei Palace are no longer in their original position. The two brothers' fate stars are together and shining more and more, while their fate stars move eastward, but they are still dim and disappear from time to time. Suddenly, my chest was cold, and there was a feeling of being abandoned by heaven.
"God the thief!" Yun Yi's heart was not flat, and for some reason, he suddenly took out the bow and arrow, took the arrow, buckled the string, started the work, and set the arrow in one go. A fiery arrow light bounced out, and the iron bow was swallowed up most of the red light and went straight into the night sky. The red light was like an angry fire dragon, releasing his anger without concealment. Yun Yi released the arrow, exhausting the true energy of his whole body. He knelt down on the ground and muttered with a weak voice, "Why? ... I don't believe in fate! I don't believe it! People will win the sky! Thief, my God! I will fight with you to the end!"
Yun Yi kept saying to himself, "I want to stand up, I want to stand up..." However, God seemed to punish Yun Yi's disrespectful words. A freezing rain suddenly fell down and knocked Yun Yi, who was about to get up, to the ground again. Yun Yi's true qi was exhausted. Coupled with the coldness of the winter rain, Yun Yi, who had no disease and painless since practicing the "Elong Life Secret", once again felt the severe destruction and turbid intention of acute typhoid. Knowledge began to invade his consciousness. At this time, Yun Yi, who was physically and mentally exhausted, really wanted to sleep like this and sleep forever.
Winter rain, vertical and horizontal chess club, inner hall, bright lights.
"Zhang San!" The old man in black sitting on the upper seat of the inner hall said, "How long do you think it will take for this son to light up this star (born star)?"
"Master, the little one is just an errand runner. How do you know this!" Zhang San, the shopkeeper of the chess club standing aside, smiled.
"You old man!" The old man also smiled and said, "I've been with you for more than 30 years, and you are still so slippery!"
"The doorkeeper wants to see the heart of this son!" Zhang Sandao.
"Hmm! This is also the first exam question to enter our door!" The old man answered, and his eyes were deep and bright, as if he could understand everything in the world, but there was a cynical smile on the corners of his mouth.
......
Unnamed island, stunning beauty, two virgins.
The stunning beauty looked at the two virgins coldly and said lightly, "I really don't understand your two incompetences (what incompetence?) Why can the gangster not only take away the treasure book (Jade Putuan?) under the eyes of Yu Wenji, but also make Du Fuwei disgraced (what did they do?), and now even the Haisha Gang makes you dizzy (two people P all?). Tell me! Are you wearing anything special? Indian divine oil?)
The two virgins looked at each other and stared at each other. He thought to himself, "How can this woman know everything about us? Does this woman also care about us...?"
Of course, the two virgins are our protagonists Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling, and the stunning beauty is Yun Yuzhen, the beauty master of the Giant Whale Gang.
Kou Zhong was also very moved, but he asked seriously, "May I ask your name, Miss Gao? Who is it?"
Yun Yuzhen said coldly, "Aren't I called a mother-in-law? Why do you become a lady again now?
Xu Ziling is a monk. He can't see women playing tricks. The more beautiful they are, the more they can't see. A shocking word came and said, "What's with so much nonsense? Do you fight or not? If you don't, I'll go back to bed.
Unexpectedly, the beautiful Yun Yuzhen not only did not get angry, but also put forward a promising cooperative development plan. This project has invested heavily in the top three door valves among the top 500 Sui. This plan is led by the Giant Whale Gang, with Dugu Valve as the behind-the-scenes director. Kou and Xu only need to invest with physical strength. Manpower, material resources, financial resources, technology and light power are all provided by the Giant Whale Society. The goal is to bid for the door valve account book and create a new door valve system in the Sui.
PS: The last part of this chapter is purely because the code words are too boring. You don't have to entertain yourself.
