Chapter seven hundred and seventy fourth reckless husband
"Why should I decide whether to live or die?" Yu Sheng was very unconvinced, "If you decide, it will be a matter of life and death."
The old man smiled slightly and flicked his hand to the chessboard, "If it's a matter of life and death, is there any need to play chess? Can you succeed in this move?"
When he stopped his hand, a black cloud in the sky was dispersed, and a square starry sky appeared in front of the world, with stars twinkling.
Standing on the city wall, looking at the tidal army of mummies outside the city, the city lord was making preparations for the war. Yu Shiyu and many Jin Yiwei also noticed the strange phenomenon in the sky.
On this square starry sky, streaks of silver light appeared out of thin air, crossing horizontally and vertically to outline a chessboard.
Immediately, the city wall and the city, which had been noisy just now, became quiet, and everyone stared at this scene blankly.
"This, is this a chessboard?" City Lord Yan, who climbed up the city wall together, asked.
Everyone was silent. The city lord looked at the place under the starry sky with a worried look on his face. It was definitely not an ordinary immortal who could make such a big noise.
There is a bamboo pavilion above Yu Sheng's head, which cannot be seen.
He just glanced at the old man and saw the confident smile on his face. He couldn't help but blink and continued to look at the chessboard, muttering to himself, "Could it be that I can't see it?"
No, if you lose, you don’t lose!
Yu Sheng nodded, "Well, this hand is really good. The lines are straight, vertical and horizontal, and well-proportioned. It takes a lot of energy to do it, right?"
The old man stroked his beard proudly and said with a smile: "Young master, it doesn't take much energy to do it. It's just a matter of effort. Now you..."
Yu Sheng thought he was right, so he knocked on the chessboard, "Is it made of elm wood? Your skills are not bad, but what does it have to do with the battle of life and death?"
The old man's expression froze, and the pride on his face seemed to be mocking him for being so sentimental.
"Bang", the old man slammed the table, and the bamboo pavilion and shed above his head exploded to pieces. The old man didn't even raise his head and said angrily: "I'm talking about heaven!"
"Heaven", Yu Sheng suddenly realized when he looked at the sky, "Oh, you said this, you should have said it earlier, I would have understood it if you had said it earlier."
The old man's exposed hand is more than enough to kill him for the rest of his life.
Without waiting for the old man to speak, Yu Sheng pushed the chessboard and said, "Okay, you are great. You can talk, but I can't play Go. I can't do it at all."
Yu Sheng looked at the old man and said, "You have to be conscientious. I can't do it. You can't bully me, right?"
The old man was a little relieved from his anger and looked at Yu Sheng impatiently, "Then what are you talking about?"
If it weren't for the fear of being behind, the old man would have taken action to end the rest of his life, so there would be no need for such a big fight.
"Compared to chess." Yu Sheng said. When it comes to Go, Yu Sheng is only slightly better than Gouzi. The only chess game he is good at is chess.
"Chess?" The old man frowned, he had never heard of it before.
Now Yu Sheng's chances of winning were slim, "Yes, it's chess." Yu Sheng waved his hand, and a column of water flew over from the pouring rain.
By the time it landed on the stone table in front of them, the water had turned into ice cubes as square as a chessboard.
Yu Sheng drew traces on the ice and waved his hands, and circular chess pieces made of ice kept falling down.
"The horse moves on the sun, the elephant moves on the field, the chariot moves in a straight path and the cannon crosses the mountain, the soldier moves diagonally to protect the general's side, and the pawn never comes back once it's gone. This is chess." Yu Sheng pointed at the chessboard, "How about it?"
Seeing that the old man was silent, he smiled and said: "As for me, you know that I am not very smart. You are different. You are a scheming old ginger."
Seeing that the old man was still pondering, Yu Sheng held the oil-paper umbrella and said, "If you don't dare to take it down, I won't force you. Let's see the real seal directly in our hands. We just want to spread it out in the future. Hey..."
He sighed, "It's not good for your reputation. Don't forget that you want to become a man of heaven."
"Oh, don't provoke me." The old man looked away from the chessboard, "I was just trying to figure it out, now I understand it."
He waved his hand to the bamboo forest nearby, and with a "click", the thigh bones of several mummies were immediately broken, and they flew to the old man's side.
The white bones immediately turned into black chess pieces after passing through his hands, and he placed them one by one on the chessboard that he would draw for the rest of his life.
After arranging the chess pieces, the old man flicked his hand, and the chessboard in the sky was replaced by an elephant chessboard, with white chess and black characters, black chess and white characters, and thirty-two chess pieces ready for battle.
"You are young, please go first," the old man said confidently.
For the rest of my life, I murmured in my heart, as the saying goes, the old man is cunning, scheming, old and close to evil, old and not dead is a thief, this old man seems to be very sure.
"Wait a minute," he said, "let's make it clear. If you win, you will take it away according to the will of heaven; if I win, you let me go and return the mummy to the southern wasteland."
"It's a deal." The old man was confident.
"Swear to the Way of Heaven?"
"I swear by the law of heaven. If we violate this oath, we will be punished by the law of heaven." The old man smiled brightly.
Both of them had something to say, and they were all making small calculations, so they didn't realize the contradiction in the other's words.
"Okay, please", Yu Sheng's voice fell, "pop", a shot in the head.
The middle-aged man looked above his head and saw that the chess game in the starry sky had also changed. After the cannon fell under the starry sky, he saw ripples of starlight in circles.
The old man dealt with it calmly, and as soon as he dropped the chess piece, Yu Sheng without thinking, "pop", knocked out the old man's pawn with one shot that day.
In his previous life, Yu Sheng had superb chess skills and was known as a "strong general". This was not only a self-proclaimed title, but also a title given by others, which shows the ferocity of Yu Sheng's chess fighting skills.
Of course, the nickname that others gave him for the rest of his life was "The Fighter Who Regrets Chess." Not only did he often regret his chess moves, but he was also fierce when arguing about his chess regrets, and few others could compete with him.
In addition, Yu Sheng is also good at complicating the changes in the market, making things false and real, which not only confuses the other party, but sometimes Yu Sheng himself is also confused.
But the old man didn't know that he was frightened when he saw that Yu Sheng was making a sound move and was determined to kill, so he quickly calmed down and calmed down to deal with it.
On the Yangzhou city wall, what was first seen was a chessboard under the starry sky, but now it turned into an unknown type of chess, and everyone couldn't help but look at each other in shock.
"This is definitely Shopkeeper Yu's idea." Ye Zigao was sure.
When they saw a cannon hit the pawn, the black "pawn" immediately dispersed, erupting into fireworks-like starlight. The effect was very effective.
Yu Sheng killed another soldier with one shot. After being killed by the old man's car, Yu Sheng asked: "Old man, how old were you before you died?"
"Sixty to three", the old man stroked his beard. This kid was not that strong. "Why are you asking these questions?"
"I'm only ten or fifteen, do you think you have to give me some slack?" Yu Sheng said, trying to get back the knocked-out cannon.
"Hey, you have no regrets." The old man held him down.
"You old man doesn't know how to respect the old and love the young." After Yu Sheng said this, he no longer regretted his move, and fired another cannon.
"You don't understand either." The old man said angrily. The boy's mouth just now showed no respect for the elderly at all.
"Caring for children is a virtue", I will go all out for the rest of my life to suppress the situation.
The old man was not eager to attack at all, and moved his horses away, hoping to make Yu Sheng retreat before the difficulties.
But the name of a tough guy is not for nothing. Yu Sheng knocked off the opponent's horse with one shot.
This made the old man hesitate. Is this kid really trying to decide life and death? This is too arbitrary. In his opinion, cannons are more useful than horses.
He thought about it for a long time and felt that he would spend the rest of his life wandering away, so he used the cannon to stir up the cannon with hesitation.
As soon as he made a move, Yu Sheng's side hit him, and a cart hit directly next to his horse, clearly threatening the horse's life.
The old man used his car to protect him, and "pop", Yu Sheng knocked the horse away without hesitation, allowing the two cars to meet.
The old man couldn't help but look up at Yu Sheng, his mind wandering, feeling that this guy was either a reckless man or someone with a conspiracy.
But he didn't know that for the rest of his life, he didn't even realize that this game of chess could determine his life or death, so it didn't matter if he swore an oath to the will of heaven. He only said that he would sacrifice the will of heaven, but he didn't say that he would sacrifice his life.
After hesitating for a while, the old man carefully ate Yu Sheng's car.
