Ning Yan pulled Shen Qiuning's sleeves and forced herself against the big man to squeeze out of the encirclement.
Shen Qiuning rarely moved away her hand, but just followed him step by step.
Seeing Ning Yan working hard to protect her, Shen Qiuning only found it interesting.
She has a great fifth-grade cultivation, when will it be the turn of a ninth-grade person to protect her like this?
[You used a little trick to destroy this woman's decades of cultivation. Seeing her trapped in the net you weaved, with an ignorant smile on her face, you have no sympathy in your heart. Anyone who bullies you You will all pay the price! You have been working hard for so long, it’s time to collect some interest from her...]
Ning Yan was stunned for a moment, then quietly turned her head.
What he thought was a hidden behavior could not be hidden from Shen Qiuning's eyes. He hurriedly put away the smile on his lips and stared back fiercely.
Ning Yan became disgraced and shrank his neck in grievance.
You bitch, you lied to me again...
After passing through the crowd of onlookers on the third floor and the third floor outside, the two finally saw clearly what was going on inside.
Ning Yan saw the novel look on Shen Qiuning's face and explained to her with a smile: "This is called breaking the three levels. It is not common in ordinary times. No wonder there are so many people."
The so-called three levels refer to guessing lantern riddles, matching pairs and solving the end game.
After all, people with certain cultural literacy are in the minority. Ordinary people can just guess a lantern riddle. Those who can get the right pair can be said to be one in a hundred.
As for solving the endgame, it’s even more exaggerated. Most people don’t even understand the rules of chess, so they can only join in the fun.
Breaking three levels not only places high demands on players entering the game, but also places low demands on stall owners.
Lantern riddles and pairs are easy to say, the most important thing is to understand chess skills, and secondly, you need to have good chess records, otherwise you will be killed until you lose your pants when you meet an expert.
That is to say, Yanliu Lane has been closed, otherwise you might not even see it even if you visit it for a month.
Ning Yan seems to have arrived late.
Three stalls were set up in the center of the crowd, and all the lantern riddles and pairs in the first two stalls were solved.
This is no longer an attempt to break through the three levels, it is purely to play with the stall owner.
In front of the third stall, a middle-aged scholar was sitting, looking at the chess game in front of him and deep in thought.
His facial features were unremarkable, and the gown he wore looked like it had been worn for a long time. It was almost faded after being washed, and it still smelled like cheap soap.
No matter how you look at it, he looks like the kind of depressed and down-and-out scholar.
However, it was such a presence that he managed to overwhelm all the scholars in the audience without making a sound.
Ning Yan picked up the notes left behind by the first two stalls, and saw that the handwriting on it was strong and powerful, with iron hooks and silver paintings, and he couldn't find anything wrong with the answer.
This guy is awesome...
Shen Qiuning asked quietly: "Do you think he can win?"
Ning Yan glanced around the field and replied: "It's hard to say..."
Because the stall owner is too calm.
There are three questions in each level. As long as you can solve the stall owner's nine questions, you will be considered successful. It stands to reason that this middle-aged scholar has rushed to the eighth question with great strength. No matter what, he will be nervous, right?
Unless the stall owner is sure, no one can solve the ninth question at the bottom of the box!
Ning Yan should not underestimate the world's heroes. Who has the stronger trump card between the two of them can only wait until they touch each other to know the result.
But he was a little excited about the prizes presented by the stall owner.
Especially the hairpin in the middle.
The white jade body is decorated with tassels, and the agate jewelry inlaid on the hairpin is just right, which can reflect the nobility without overpowering the guest.
"Do you like it?" Ning Yan asked, pointing to the hairpin.
Shen Qiuning obviously also noticed the hairpin. This kind of well-crafted and not tacky thing was very popular with her, but she looked at Ning Yan's face and swallowed her words in shame and anger.
"Then I like it." Ning Yan smiled, turned to the stall owner and shouted: "The first two stalls have been completely destroyed, and I want to break in again. How should I calculate it?"
The stall owner's eyes lit up and he came to give money again.
"As long as you can pass the third level, you will be considered successful, scholar, is that okay?"
The second half of the sentence was addressed to the middle-aged scholar. He recovered slightly and nodded to show that he had no objection.
The stall owner said happily: "This little brother, I have one tael of silver, thank you for taking care of me."
"Take it!"
Ning Yan threw over a couple of pieces of silver and walked to sit next to the middle-aged scholar.
The stall owner quickly put on a show, and then leaned aside as if watching the show.
"It seems that your lady is very fond of that hairpin."
The middle-aged scholar did not have any hostility towards the new competitors around him, but was polite and polite.
Respect... Madam?!
Ning Yan secretly glanced at Shen Qiuning not far away, and seeing that she didn't seem to hear, she nodded shamelessly.
"What about you, which thing do you like?"
"I'm not interested in those, I just enjoy the process." The middle-aged scholar bowed his hands to Ning Yan: "Fang Keji, nice to meet you."
Ning Yan hesitated and gave a pseudonym: "Yan Ning."
"Brother Yan, you have to hurry up..."
Later, Fang Keji said to the stall owner: "Fang has solved this problem, come on."
"Wait!"
As soon as these words came out, the audience's attention was drawn back to Ning Yan. He slowly raised his head and said firmly: "I have also solved this problem."
"It's impossible, impossible..."
"What the hell is this kid talking about!"
"He just took one look and it was over?"
……
Amid everyone's suspicious eyes, Ning Yan was still confident: "If you don't believe it, just give it a try."
The endgame in Go is also called a life-or-death problem.
It just so happens that Ning Yan was a master at answering questions in his last life, and his results in studying these are outstanding.
In order to cope with Party A's father's preferences, he once learned some weird skills, and Go was one of them.
He had seen this life-and-death problem in the "Xuanxuan Chess Classic" and it was called the Two Immortals Leaving the Cave Position. It was at a level that even amateurs could solve. Of course, it would not be a problem for Ning Yan.
Fang Keji's eyes lingered on Ning Yan's face for a moment, and then he said to the stall owner: "Let's get together."
The stall owner snorted coldly, and Da Ma Jin Dao sat across from the two of them, intending to fight one against two.
However, the lower he went, the more frightened he became. The two men's moves were exactly the same, and he was defeated within a few moves!
Fang Keji and Ning Yan seemed to have a clear understanding of each other, looking at each other at the same time.
Ning Yan saw a hint of surprise in the eyes of the other party, Gu Jing Wubo.
He was even more surprised!
"Xuanxuan Chess Classic" has a history of nearly a thousand years. Every life-and-death problem has been chewed over and over again by various chess masters before arriving at the recognized better solution. This middle-aged scholar figured it out in just one sitting, and his calculation power is so strong
Is it at this level?!
[This man’s thoughts are endless, and he is not inferior to me! Your murderous intention suddenly arises, you must not keep this child!]
It's just a game of chess, it won't end...
Ning Yan shook his head, trying to shut up the bitch and stop affecting his game.
"Even if you passed this question, the last question is not that easy!"
The stall owner's eyes changed, and then he played a weird chess game.
He accidentally saw this life-or-death problem from the fragmentary pages of ancient genealogy, and no one could solve it even after traveling all over the country!
