This old ape was also free and easy. He didn't have the kind of arrogant arrogance. He was full of admiration for the "miracle doctor" mentioned by Xu Yuan.
It was just that Xu Yuan's heart moved slightly after hearing these words. She glanced at Chu Chen calmly and saw the grey-clothed youth standing silently beside Elder Yan. His expression was calm. His eyes were on his nose, and his nose was on his heart. It was as if he didn't want to get into trouble.
Xu Yuan immediately understood that Chu Chen didn't want to cause more trouble. She immediately smiled apologetically at the old ape.
"Senior, please forgive me. The miracle doctor has always been wandering around the world and his whereabouts are uncertain. Every time he takes the initiative to find me, so I don't know where to find him."
"Oh?" The old ape was slightly taken aback. A look of disappointment appeared on his face, but he quickly waved his hand freely.
"That's right, people with such peerless medical skills must not want to be burdened by the secular world. It's a pity that I have no chance to meet him. In this case, I won't force you. Let's play chess … I'll let you play 9 pieces first. "
Xu Yuan nodded. After thinking for a moment, she picked up a chess piece as white as jade and began to play.
The way of chess seemed very simple: a game of black and white chess on a chessboard. Whoever occupied a larger space and could surround the opponent's chess pieces would win.
However, the truth contained in it was broad and profound. A small space contained the secrets of all things in the world and the creation of yin and yang.
The way of chess paid attention to "one move first, step by step". The first move was very important.
As the saying went, "It's better to lose a piece than to lose a move first". In a normal chess game, 1 or 2 pieces was enough to determine the outcome of the whole game.
The old ape's chess skill was amazing. He actually dared to let the other party play 9 pieces first, which was really surprising. Therefore, Chu Chen frowned slightly when he heard the words. A dignified look suddenly appeared on his face.
Xu Yuan's chess skills were very exquisite. After 9 white pieces were placed in a row, the embryonic form of the Nine Palaces Formation was faintly formed.
Nine was the pinnacle of numbers, so this Nine Palaces Formation was also one of the most profound formations in chess. For ordinary people, once one party waited for the opportunity to set up this "Nine Palaces Formation", it was basically equivalent to determining the outcome of the game!
After seeing this scene, the old ape nodded with relief. He didn't have to think and directly took the black pieces next to him.
In the beginning, the arrangement of the black pieces was rather scattered. They were cut into pieces by the Nine Palaces Formation and didn't seem to be a big deal. However, when his sixth piece was placed down, the entire situation of the game changed drastically!
At this time, there were already 15 white pieces on the chessboard, and the Nine Palaces Formation.
However, the six black stones faintly formed an even more complicated array formation that surrounded the Nine Palaces!
"Reverse Six-star Formation!"
A look of shock appeared on Chu Chen's face. He had seen this unique chess skill once before. It was the mysterious green-robed old man in the back mountain of Biquan Xianzong.
This chess formation borrowed the structure of a beehive. Once it was established, the Six-star Formation would be endless. There was no way to stop it!
Sure enough, as time passed, more and more chess pieces appeared on the chessboard. The offensive of the Six-star Formation evolved from the black pieces gradually became stronger.
At first glance, the black pieces were like an endless black tide, and they emitted a murderous aura that soared into the sky.
The white pieces were obviously much more stable. They firmly relied on the Nine Palaces Formation that they had outlined to defend their position.
The two's chess styles were quickly revealed. The old ape's chess skills were extremely fierce and aggressive. Every piece was filled with majestic killing intent.
On the other hand, Xu Yuan's chess skills were very gentle and flexible. She relied on her advantage of having nine pieces first to firmly defend her position.
Under the elder macaque's relentless attacks, it was surprisingly tenacious. Although many chess pieces were eaten, the basic structure of the Nine Palaces Formation was stabilized.
Seeing this, everyone's reaction was different. Elder Yan was not very proficient in chess. He brought Xu Yuan here purely to play chess with the old ape. He did not care about winning or losing.
Lord Changsheng, on the other hand, looked rather surprised. He did not expect this girl, who had no cultivation base at all and looked so weak, to be so good at playing chess. She could actually hold on for so long under the old ape's attack.
Elder Yan's expression was a little thought-provoking. She frowned deeply. There was a hint of worry in her eyes.
It was obvious that Xu Yuan's chess skills were beyond her imagination. She seemed to be better than Huangfu Ying. She was very worried about whether Huangfu Yin could get this opportunity.
Hmm, it seems that Xu Yuan's chess skills are better than Huangfu Yin's … The corner of Chu Chen's mouth curled up slightly.
Although Xu Yuan's chess skills were good, she was still far from the old ape's. As the Inverse Six-pointed Star Formation occupied more and more areas, the original balance of power on the chessboard was finally broken.
After the time it took to brew a cup of tea, the black chess piece had completely broken through the Nine Palaces Formation that the white chess piece was defending, firmly gaining the upper hand.
"Senior Almighty, this junior admits defeat."
Xu Yuan shook her head and smiled bitterly. She cupped her hands and admitted defeat.
The old ape's chess skills were simply unimaginable. Even Chu Chen's eyelids twitched violently at this moment.
With this method alone, the old ape's chess skills were better than the green-robed old man in the back mountain of Biquan Xianzong.
"Haha, to be able to set up the Nine Palaces Formation to such an extent, you're one of the few chess geniuses I've seen." The old ape chuckled.
"You're quite likable. Regardless of whether you're the best chess player today, I'll give you a gift."
"Senior, I appreciate your kindness."
Xu Yuan looked indifferent and smiled. "I love chess all my life. After playing a game with you, I learned that there's always someone better than me and that the Nine Palaces Formation isn't invincible. I've learned a lot. How dare I ask for more gifts?"
"Hahaha … This girl is getting more and more sensible." The old ape was overjoyed when he heard that. He then waved his hand at Huangfu Yin. "Boy, it's your turn."
"Yes, senior." Huangfu Yin bowed respectfully and sat down slowly in front of the old ape.
It was still the first nine pieces, but this time, Huangfu Yin's chess was much more stable. Every move was carefully considered.
It took him half an incense stick's worth of time to finish setting up the nine chess pieces, but he still hadn't finished setting them up.
"I love chess all my life. After playing a game with you, I learned that there's always someone better than me and that the Nine Palaces Formation isn't invincible. I've learned a lot. How dare I ask for more gifts?"
"Hahaha … This girl is getting more and more sensible." The old ape was overjoyed when he heard that. He then waved his hand at Huangfu Yin. "Boy, it's your turn."
"Yes, senior." Huangfu Yin bowed respectfully and sat down slowly in front of the old ape.
It was still the first nine pieces, but this time, Huangfu Yin's chess was much more stable. Every move was carefully considered.
