The secret of the "Book of Heaven" has been passed down for hundreds of years, and whoever obtains the Book of Heaven will conquer the world!
Everyone in the martial arts community dreams of obtaining the Book of Heaven and becoming the most powerful person in the world. However, there are only legends about the Book of Heaven. In the past many years, there have never been rumors of the Book of Heaven in the world.
The younger generation present had never heard of Yingxiongzhuang, but the elders hidden behind the younger generation had investigated and learned from various documents and knew some secrets about the "Book of Heaven".
Before, none of these young people understood why their elders asked them to participate in this election. Only now do they know the reason. It turns out that the legendary "Book of Heaven" is hidden in Heroes Village.
Some people may have doubts about the authenticity of the "Book of Heaven" in the hands of the old Taoist, but no one who knows Yingxiong Zhuang Huihuang will doubt it.
Why can a small manor in the city of Suzhou become the focus of people in the world? Why did Yingxiongzhuang once have the supreme status in the world? And why did Yingxiongzhuang decline inexplicably?
Now it seems that the answer is obvious. It is nothing more than a volume of "Book of Heaven". This is a bloody period!
It's just that everyone is surprised that a treasure like "The Book of Heaven" is actually in the hands of the old Taoist. Aren't they afraid that everyone will come to snatch it?
Facing everyone's astonishment, the old Taoist was very satisfied with the current atmosphere and sneered: "Looking at it now, some of you should pay more attention to it. Then I will talk about what to do next. Heroes Village has always been chivalrous and generous.
Virtue is the foundation, and all the owners of the past dynasties are young talents with both ability and political integrity. Regardless of the strength of martial arts or literary talent, they are all tested in many aspects. Therefore, there will be many competitions in today's test. As for the total number of questions, I will decide
The final say. Do you understand?"
"clear!"
Everyone’s answers this time were much more energetic than before.
"This first question is the Zhenlong chess game that has not been solved for a hundred years."
After that, someone came into the house carrying a heavy chessboard. On the chessboard, there were black and white squares, and a chess game was on it.
The first question is a chess competition?
Xia Shang and Nangong Chu looked at each other and smiled, saying nothing.
It turned out to be a competition of chess skills!
What else could Xia Shang be more confident about?
Jiang Gan, who claimed to be the most prodigy in Jiangnan, was also overjoyed. It seemed that he was also confident in his chess abilities.
At this time, another old man next to him said coldly: "Juniors, don't underestimate this game. This Zhenlong chess game was set up by the chess sage Mr. Qingyuan a hundred years ago. Mr. Qingyuan is an unparalleled genius, twenty years old.
He never lost a game after he was 18 years old. However, in his twilight years, Mr. Qingyuan fell into a dream in the mountains and played chess with an immortal in his dream. The immortal laid out this precious chess game. After Mr. Qingyuan woke up from his dream, he spent his whole life never cracking it. It has been passed down to this day.
It has been more than a hundred years, but no one has been able to solve it. In the past hundred years, countless geniuses have tried to solve the mystery, but they have all failed and failed."
"If no one can solve it, why give it to us?"
The old man said: "The owner of the hero village has always been afraid of doing what others don't think. He doesn't have the ability to go against the will of nature. How can he be recognized? However, this problem must be solved by you. As long as you can
It only takes a few moves in my hands. The chess game has already begun, who will try it first?"
The seven young people stepped forward together and gathered around the chessboard to observe.
Xia Shang was also nearby, feeling disdainful, secretly wondering whether "Dragon and the Eight Parts" should be staged? Xia Shang, who has studied modern Go for many years, knew very well that the Zhenlong chess game in the novel did not exist, and it was just for the needs of the plot.
It's just a fictional plot. As long as it's Go, as long as the pieces are placed according to the rules, there will always be a winner or loser on the chessboard.
But when Xia Shang saw the chess game, he was shocked.
This game of chess is truly littered with corpses, and there are five or six battles, large and small, among which the most serious and most life-and-death one is the fight between black and white in the upper right corner. There is no way for both sides to retreat. If they die, they will almost declare defeat.
The fight was extremely complicated, and those with average chess skills could not tell who was better or worse.
But after Xia Shang took a quick look, it seemed that the white piece was in possession and the black piece was in danger.
To resolve the chess game, you need to help the black piece reverse the defeat.
After Xia Shang saw this, he was not sure that he could crack the chess game, or it might be said that it was impossible.
After seeing it, Jiang Gan was eager to give it a try, but held back.
Probably because he was afraid that others would see his tricks.
The remaining players seemed to have weaker chess skills, and they had no clue after looking at it for a long time.
The old Taoist waited for a while and then spoke again: "What's going on? Who will make the move first?"
Ye Xiaoyun couldn't bear it at first, took out one and dropped it.
The old Taoist looked at it, shook his head with a smile, and held his hand in vain.
When everyone saw it, they also laughed: "There is no need to go down, you will die on your own."
Ye Xiaoyun didn't believe it: "Don't interrupt, it's me!"
With that said, another piece fell.
The old man responded again.
After two more moves like this, Ye Xiaoyun found that his chess piece was completely dead, and he couldn't help but blush and stepped aside.
Next, Zhang Cheng, Xiang Tiange, Zuo Jinwen, and Chi Chan successively tried to make moves, but the best player only stuck to five moves.
Xia Shang watched it for a long time, and he became suspicious. How could this apparently intractable chess game end up with white being the dominant one? Is there really a so-called Zhenlong chess game in this world?
In doubt, Jiang Gan asked Xia Shang: "Master Xia, why don't you try it first?"
Xia Shang shook his head: "Young master, please come first."
Jiang Gan couldn't help but asked the old man: "Senior, are you trying to see who can persist more?"
The old man nodded.
"I'm confident that I can match senior's ten moves of chess."
"There are very few people who can play ten moves of chess in the Zhenlong chess game. If you can really do it, your chess skills are certainly not weak."
Jiang Gan was overjoyed when he heard this and made the move first.
Jiang Gan looked at it for a long time and already knew it in his mind. He made quick moves and soon reached the ninth move.
The old Taoist looked at it and nodded repeatedly. He didn't try it now, but simulated it countless times in his mind. He must be so sure that he knew it well.
Xia Shang was also surprised when he saw this. Jiang Gan was very good at calculations. When dealing with the big dragon fight between the black and white sides, this kid calculated very accurately and could find the key points just right every time.
In ancient times, this was the first time that Xia Shang encountered someone with such strong chess skills.
But after the tenth move, Jiang Gan was no longer so calm when it came to the eleventh move.
The moves rise and fall, and it becomes more difficult to make a decision when faced with more critical situations.
But Xia Shang saw that no matter how Jiang Gan responded, Heizi would definitely lag behind Bai Zi when the dragon fought.
Before, Jiang Gan's moves were error-free, but in the end he still couldn't kill the white chess piece.
This shows that the most complicated battle above is the death period of black's chess. No matter how the stone is placed, black's chess will die.
Sure enough, after Xia Shang made his decision.
When Jiang Gan lost his thirteenth son, he also found himself in a dead end...
"Why!"
Jiang Gan sighed and said to himself: "I tried my best."
The old Taoist didn't show any emotion and said calmly: "The next one."
At this time, Jiang Gan suddenly said: "Senior, wait a minute, I have something unclear."
"Speaking."
Jiang Gan pointed at Xia Shang: "What if he copies my method?" (To be continued)
