Chapter 63: Philosophical Issues Inherited for Thousands of Years
With Zhixiang's chess skills, how could it be possible for the fourth player to lose?
Everyone thought it was impossible to lose, except Xia Shang.
Xia Shang's prediction was exactly the opposite. He believed that Zhixiang would not win.
The reason is very simple. Based on the study of Go formula alone, Xia Shang's formula in his mind is the result of five thousand years of evolution. It is the final version that has been eliminated and changed from generation to generation in ancient formulas. But Zhixiang mastered it.
It is the most original preliminary version of the formula.
Moreover, the people who can play against Zhixiang have different levels of chess skills. Maybe there is no really powerful person around, so she has never seen what a real Go master is like.
Xia Shang is different. On the modern online Go platform, you can directly face opponents who are equal to your own chess skills and continue to improve. And this amateur five-dan is really no joke. It was definitely outstanding in ancient times.
The game between the two is like three books playing against one in the game, with artillery blasting infantry. They are not on the same level at all.
After only forty moves of chess, Zhixiang felt something was wrong, and the four-man advantage at the beginning was instantly wiped out.
Everyone was watching the chess game, and everyone was stunned by the situation.
At first, I felt that Xia Shang always played chess irrationally, but later I found out that these strange moves were very powerful, and Zhixiang had to be extra careful in dealing with every move.
But Xia Shang made every step very quickly, seemingly without thinking.
In fact, after walking a few steps, Xia Shang knew Zhixiang's chess prowess. He was just an amateur chess player. In modern times, he would probably be about the same as an entry-level student who had studied for two or three months.
To deal with her, Xia Shang conservatively estimated that he could play ten at the same time.
The fundamental reason is that the study of Go in ancient times was still in its infancy, and there were no professionals to guide and discuss it. Each school relied on its own exploration, and progress was naturally very slow.
It didn't take long for Xia Shang's chess skills to be terrifying. People around him who knew chess were all sweating like Zhixiang.
I just feel that the person on the other side of the chessboard is not a person, but a monster with insight into people's hearts, weaving a huge web to make people fall step by step!
"I lost……"
In the seventy-eighth move, Zhixiang finally gave in under the strong pressure of Xia Shang.
Looking at the few chess pieces on the chessboard, I was so defeated that I couldn't even say anything.
In front of Xia Shang, Zhixiang felt like a child. She didn't know where she had the pride to claim to be able to play chess.
"Mr. Zhixiang's chess skills are the only ones he has seen in his life. Even if he is afraid of a national player, he is nothing more than this. Zhixiang is convinced!"
The scene became quiet. Girls, you look at me and I look at you. No one expected this to be the case.
Sister Zhixiang, one of the "Seven Shows of Jiangnan", competed in the four arts of piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and lost two games.
Sai Jiangnan Rushuang's eggplant drooped her head, but several of her best friends opened their eyes wide.
This young and handsome gentleman is personable and full of knowledge. I wonder if he has a wife at home?
Mrs. Sai was also extremely surprised, she did not expect this gentleman to be so capable.
Go is a way of arranging troops. This person has such attainments in Go. I think he is a resourceful and decisive think tank.
Xia Shang was very interested and asked Xiang Jiangnan with a smile: "Good student, what's the competition next? Is it writing or painting?"
There is no need to compare when writing.
Sai Jiangnan has seen Xia Shang's handwriting. Even though he hates him, he has to admit that this guy's handwriting is very good. Sister Zhixiang probably still can't win.
It would be unreasonable to compare it to painting if it is not better than writing a list.
"Playing, chess, calligraphy and painting are of no use. Let's compare strategies! The gentleman is a man, and he should have strategies in his mind. Strategies should not be an issue."
"Okay, okay, I'll leave it up to you today. Let's see when you are convinced. That's the strategy, let's come up with the question."
Jiang Nan looked at Zhixiang and whispered: "Sister, you're welcome, you come up with the question first."
Xue Zhixiang thought for a while and asked: "Sir, everyone in the world likes to use things to express their feelings. The green bamboos here are surrounded by bamboos, which means they express their feelings. Some people use plums, pine and other things to express themselves. Zhixiang thinks this method is too cumbersome. If the heart
If you have something to hold on to, why do you need to express your ambition through things?”
"That's wrong!" Xia Shang pointed to the green bamboo, "I have always believed that heaven and earth have no intention, and all things are true. Whether it is the perseverance and relaxation, the tall and colorful green bamboo, or the winter plum that proudly announces the spring,
They all grew up in the cold weather, and their spirit of not being afraid of the severe cold is the strength we should absorb to stay young and happy forever...
A person living in this world does not rely on things to express his ambition. If there is such a kind of strength to support you to face any difficulties, even if the front is full of thorns and the wind blows from east to west, what does it matter? "
"..."
There was no words in the room.
Some powers cannot be expressed in words but need to be felt.
Everyone present needed time to digest, and this period of silence was appropriate.
After a long time, everyone came to their senses. No one judged the quality of Xia Shang's answer. They just looked at Xia Shang with a hint of doubt and confusion in their eyes. They didn't know what kind of man he was. He was so young.
Why are you speaking so deeply?
"Ahem...is it my turn to ask the question?" Xia Shang coughed, attracting everyone's attention back.
Zhixiang smiled lightly: "Excuse me, sir."
"My question is very simple. Girl, which came first, the chicken or the egg?"
"..."
For a moment, the scene became cold again.
What kind of problem is this?
Policy, policy, discussion!
Isn’t it necessary to ask some questions that are deep, connotative, and meaningful?
Which came first, the chicken or the egg?
Sai Jiangnan stamped his foot: "Sir, what kind of questions are you asking?"
Xia Shang said seriously: "Don't underestimate this question. This is a topic that humans have studied for thousands of years. It is a very profound philosophical question! Let's wait for one of you to answer it first."
Sir, you asked such a childish topic!
Simply unforgivable!
A group of women felt that their IQs had been challenged, and they didn't care much anymore, so they gathered together to discuss.
A group of people discussed half a stick of incense and finally came to a conclusion.
This is simply an unsolvable question!
The gentleman is clearly trying to trick people.
Faced with doubts, Xia Shang was very calm: "You don't know, but it doesn't mean that others don't know. Since there is such a question, there must be an answer. Once you have figured out this question, I will open the door to new knowledge for you."
"
"Oh, I don't know what you are talking about. Please tell me which came first, the chicken or the egg. If that makes sense, I will obey you!" Sai Jiangnan scolded and raised her waist.
Xia Shang smiled and looked back at Mrs. Sai: "Madam, do you have any insights?"
Mrs. Sai quickly took two steps back and shook her head repeatedly.
Xia Shang then said: "The question is very simple! Which came first, the chicken or the egg? The answer must be the egg. As for why? There were already birds in the sky before the chicken appeared, because chickens and birds are similar, and chickens
It evolved from birds. Before chickens appeared, birds already had eggs."
"The eggs laid by birds are not chicken eggs."
"Attention, Mr. I didn't say it was an egg. The question is which came first, the chicken or the egg, not the egg!" (To be continued)
