"Oh, so it's Great Master Xuan Cheng." Su Xinghe was a little surprised. After all, Xuan Cheng's status was very high, and he really didn't expect him to participate.
Xuan Cheng smiled and said, "Could it be that there is a sect age requirement for those who participate in the Exquisite Chess Game?"
Su Xinghe shook his head, "No, Great Master, please." He was very clear why his master had set up the Exquisite Chess Game, and he had already said that there were no restrictions, as long as they could solve the game.
Xuan Cheng nodded and didn't say anything else. He picked up a white piece and started playing.
Su Xing He smiled faintly. He already knew every move in this game of chess by heart. His opponent's move was no different from the previous few, so he immediately responded with a black chess piece.
Xuan Cheng quickly made another move, and Su Xinghe had a whole new level of respect for him. He nodded and said, "Not bad, Great Master's move is very brilliant. Let's see if we can break through and open a path." He made a black move and sealed off the path.
Xuan Cheng made another move, and Su Xinghe smiled when he saw it. Chen Jialuo looked at him from afar and hurriedly said, "I'm afraid this move won't work!" He had made the same move just now, and almost pulled out his sword to commit suicide. His relationship with Shaolin Temple had always been good, and seeing Xuan Cheng make the same mistake, he couldn't bear it and hurriedly reminded him.
Xuan Cheng nodded at him, "Thank you for the reminder, Chief Chen. This poor monk knows his limits."
Su Xinghe glared at Chen Jialuo, "A true gentleman does not speak when watching chess!" The Exquisite Chess Game was related to his master's important matter, so he naturally didn't want other people to blindly interfere.
Chen Jialuo's face heated up. His actions just now were indeed ungentlemanly, and he awkwardly apologized, "Senior, please forgive me."
Su Xinghe snorted and ignored him, continuing to focus on the game.
In the distance, Song Qingshu secretly frowned, "Seeing how confident Xuan Cheng is, could it be that they already know the way to solve the Exquisite Chess Game?"
Xuan Cheng quickly made another twenty moves, and Huo Dou, who was watching from the side, sneered, "What's so great about that? Isn't he the same as me just now?"
Su Xinghe also revealed a look of disappointment, but he still said fairly, "There are still some differences. Just now, the little prince took a long time to make each move, but Great Master Xuan Cheng made each move very quickly." At this point, he felt a little suspicious. Why does it feel like the other party has memorized every move?
Li Qiushui also frowned and said, "This monk is a little weird."
Song Qingshu nodded in agreement. Suddenly, he asked curiously, "Do you know how to solve this exquisite chess game?"
Li Qiushui looked at Heaven Mountain Tonglao proudly and said, "Of course! When Wu Ya Zi and I became husband and wife at the foot of Wuliang Mountain, we loved each other so much that we played chess and swords for fun. Wu Ya Zi and I created this Zhenlong together. "
Hearing this, Heavenly Mountain Tonglao was indeed a little angry, "Nonsense! Wu Ya Zi is indeed proficient in zither, chess, calligraphy, and painting, but what about you? If we really want to play chess, you might not be able to beat me. "
Li Qiushui wasn't angry. "Senior Sister, are you jealous of the days Wu Yazi and I spent together? Sigh, it's really nostalgic."
Heavenly Mountain Tonglao was so angry that her face turned red. Unfortunately, she didn't know how to refute and could only spit, "Bitch!" Then she turned her head away and didn't want to see her proud face anymore.
At this moment, Xuan Cheng placed a chess piece on the board. Su Xinghe couldn't help but say, "Nonsense, nonsense. You killed a white chess piece on your own. How can you play chess like this?" He was already obsessed with zither, chess, calligraphy, and painting. Moreover, it was his master's painstaking effort. Therefore, seeing the other party act so recklessly, he was also angry and didn't even care about the reputation of Shaolin Temple.
Everyone looked over and saw that Xuan Cheng's chess piece was placed in a white chess piece that was surrounded by black chess pieces. This white chess piece originally still had a breath. Although the black chess pieces could eat it at any time, as long as the black chess pieces didn't have the time to eat it, there was still a chance of survival. He struggled bitterly because of this. Now, he had eaten his own white chess piece. In chess, there was no such thing as suicide. With the white chess piece dead, the white square was completely wiped out.
When Jiu Mozhi, Chen Jialuo, Duan Yu, Huo Dou, and the others saw this, they couldn't help but burst into laughter. "Isn't that a joke?"
Unlike their current state of mind, Song Qingshu's expression changed greatly. He understood that the key to solving Zhenlong's mystery was to fight back from the jaws of death.
As expected, Xuan Cheng said, "As the saying goes, if I don't go to hell, who will? This humble monk was inspired by the mercy of Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva and thought of this move."
"Is that so?" Su Xinghe saw that he spoke with confidence and did not dare to look down on him anymore. He took down a white chess piece from the chessboard and placed a black chess piece, intending to see if he was deliberately mystifying things. "Master, please!"
Xuan Cheng was calm and collected. He reached into the box, took out a white chess piece, and placed it on the chessboard. He placed it on the empty space that had appeared after taking away the white chess piece.
This move actually made a lot of sense. In these thirty years, Su Xinghe had thoroughly understood the hundreds and thousands of variations of this game of chess. No matter what the opponent did, they could not surpass the range of what he had already understood. But Xuan Cheng's suicidal move caused him to kill a large white piece, which went against the fundamental principles of chess. Anyone who understood chess principles would never make such a move. It was no different from raising a sword to slit one's throat, to commit suicide with a knife.
Who would have thought that after he made his move and killed a large piece of his own white chess piece, the situation suddenly became much better. Although the black pieces had a great advantage, the white pieces now had room to maneuver and were no longer tied up like before, unable to attend to one thing and lose sight of the other. This new situation was something that Su Xing He had never even dreamed of. After pondering for a long time, he decided to play black.
The surrounding people also noticed that something was amiss. They discussed the changes in the chess game in low voices.
Xuan Cheng placed his pieces on the 'even' position, the 39-pax, and the 28-pax. Previously, Su Xinghe had always been confident in his moves, while Duan Yu, Chen Jialuo, and the others would have to think for a long time before they placed their pieces. Unexpectedly, it was his turn to have to think for a long time before every move.
Following this, Xuan Cheng placed his stones on the 'go' position five, six, and took three of the black stones. The surrounding people cried out in alarm one after another. Turned out they had already realized that the white stones were steadily gaining the upper hand and were pressing forward. Everybody thought in their hearts, "I can also think of these moves. Everything is difficult at the beginning. Even the first strange move, I can't think of it. "
Xuan Cheng made a few more strokes before putting his palms together. "Amitabha. This little monk should be able to resolve it, right?"
Su Xing He was dumbstruck. He nodded his head and said, "My teacher set up this trap, and no one has been able to solve it for decades. I am very grateful that the divine monk has solved this trap …" He thought of his teacher's plan, but this person's martial arts skills were not lower than his teacher's, so he felt that it was strange.
But all of this was his teacher's orders. Since that was the case, it could only mean that it was the will of heaven. In the end, he still walked to the three wooden houses not far behind him and said, "Divine monk, please enter!"
Xuan Cheng nodded and walked straight to the wooden houses. With one palm strike, he created a large hole in the wooden house and was about to walk inside.
"Wait!" Song Qingshu called out to stop him. What a joke. He knew that Wu Ya Zi was inside. If he allowed Wu Ya Zi to impart all his skills to Xuan Cheng, Wu Ya Zi would immediately be at the end of his rope. Wouldn't the women around him go crazy? If that happened, Spirit Vulture Palace and Class One Hall would no longer be his.
