After reading it, Wang Quan laughed to himself.
"Are you trying to roast me over a fire?"
Look at the choice of words.
"Killed the leader of the Beggar Sect," "Beheaded the leader of Zhai Xing Lou," "Killed the Saintess of the Pure Heart Sacred House," "Killed the young master of the Demon Sect," "Killed the master of the Lotus Sense Temple."
Although the tone was not biased, the rhythm was flying.
Wang Quan used to write women's boxing novels, so he knew very well how to lead the rhythm in a seemingly objective manner.
However, in addition to the marketing accounts, the people who were better at leading the rhythm were the people who did mobile phone reviews.
And when the new car reviewers received money to advertise.
Da Zhou's Heaven List was considered a beginner. If a newcomer had written something like this during Wang Quan's interview, Wang Quan would not have let him pass.
The Heaven List was actually telling the world one thing.
"Wang Quan has offended too many people. He has at least offended two out of the Four Holy Lands of the Righteous Path. He has also offended the Demon Sect and the Beggar Sect."
Then, Da Zhou's Imperial Court used the excuse that Wang Quan had killed innocent people and assassinated an official of the Imperial Court to increase the bounty on his head.
130,000 taels of silver!
Actually, it had been lowered. It had originally been 100,000 taels of gold.
However, one shouldn't think that 130,000 taels of silver was a small amount. The taxes that Da Zhou collected in a year were only around 70,000,000 taels of silver.
Wasn't this very obvious?
He had used an ambiguous and seemingly neutral attitude to point out that Wang Quan had offended both the Righteous and Evil Paths. Then, he had spent money to tell the world that he had also offended the Imperial Court, so they shouldn't hesitate to kill him!
However, Wang Quan was strong enough that ordinary people wouldn't be able to kill him.
So … they were planning to use him as a scapegoat and throw him away after using him?
Wang Quan was amused. "Who gave the Emperor the courage? His father who died many years ago? "
Ah Jiu's face was expressionless. "Brother, I'll go kill him."
"That's a matter for the future." Wang Quan turned to look at Du Xiwen, the mountain elder of the Jinglun Academy. "Mr. Du, why are you looking for me?"
He wanted to see what the other party was thinking.
Based on the current situation, it seemed like someone was consciously using all the circumstances to gather the world's top experts to Chang 'an.
Wu's old friend and the others were all rushing to Chang 'an and would probably arrive in two days.
The second and third place Sword Gods on the Heaven List were already in Chang 'an.
According to Luo Xiao, the master of the Pure Heart Sacred House was also rushing to Chang 'an and would arrive in a few days.
The two Holy Lands of Buddhism and Daoism didn't seem to be involved, but their successors were already in Chang 'an. It was just that these two were traitors.
Someone from the Lotus Perception Temple had also come, but he had killed him.
Now, among the top experts in the world, only the Demon Sect's Supremacy and the number one on the Heaven List, Duan Zhige, were missing.
They all had their own goals, but they were all rushing to Chang 'an without prior consultation.
However, this was also in line with Wang Quan's goal.
He was waiting for them all to arrive.
Then … he would catch them all in one fell swoop.
Let's see who would have the last laugh, the person who caused all this, or him, Wang Quan.
Du Xiwen didn't speak first. He just looked at Wang Quan and Feng Ah Jiu from head to toe.
After a while, he smiled slightly. "Why don't we play a game?"
As he spoke, Su Zicheng had already set up the chessboard at some point in time. The black and white pots of flags were also placed separately.
He understood what the mountain elder meant.
The mountain elder had a unique skill, which was to see through a person's character through a game of chess.
This skill had been used hundreds of times, and it had never failed before.
The mountain elder wanted to see what Young Master Wang's character was like.
Was it the chivalrous air he displayed, or was it an act of someone who was extremely shrewd?
Wang Quan was silent for a long time. Then, the corners of his mouth curved into a √, and he sat next to the black pieces.
Du Xiwen immediately sat across from him, and then placed a seat on the corner of the chessboard. Then, he raised his hand and gestured. "Please."
He wanted to see if Wang Quan would leave.
"Then let me show you my Great Unity of Heaven and Earth. This is the first time this move has appeared in front of the world."
"Oh? There's such a move? Then I'd like to see it for myself! "
Accompanied by hearty laughter, Old Friend Wu's group of Heaven List big shots from the nameless organization walked into the courtyard one after another.
When they got closer, Old Friend Wu warmly patted Du Xiwen's shoulder. "Xiwen, long time no see."
Du Xiwen smiled and nodded. Then, he looked at Qi Bai, who looked much more radiant, and said with a smile, "Little Seven, it seems that leaving the academy was the right choice. You look much better now.
"You've found your target, right?"
Qi Bai smiled very elegantly. "Not bad. Senior Brother, have you found your target?"
Du Xiwen looked back at the chessboard. "Maybe I'll find it after this game."
Qi Bai and the other big shots became spirited. They all gathered around and stared at the chessboard carefully.
"Ah Quan, where's your Unity of Heaven and Earth? Come down and take a look! "Old Friend Wu urged Wang Quan.
Wang Quan held the black piece in his hand and was silent for a while. Finally, he put down the piece of Tianyuan.
Everyone looked confused.
Putting down the piece of Tianyuan … What kind of move was this?
Only three people did not react in surprise.
Ah Jiu was not interested.
Luo Xiao did not care.
Du Xiwen closed his eyes and pondered.
After a long time, he slowly put down the white piece and said, "There is a piece of Tianyuan that leads to the whole situation. This piece is in the middle of the chessboard, which means that the whole world is in your hands. I understand now."
The other big shots suddenly understood.
Wang Quan: "…"
What did you understand?
He then put down another piece next to Tianyuan.
This time, the big shots were stunned again, not understanding what he meant.
They turned to look at Du Xiwen.
Old Du did not say anything. He just frowned and thought carefully.
After a long time, he put down a white piece.
Wang Quan did not hesitate and put down another piece in a straight line.
By the fifth move, the five black pieces had formed a line.
Wang Quan said, "My apologies, it seems that I won by a bit."
The big shots did not understand.
Old Friend Wu said doubtfully, "This is only the beginning. Ah Quan, although your moves are … bold and unconstrained, you can't say that you've won yet."
Wang Quan said matter-of-factly, "Gomoku, gomoku, when the five pieces form a line, doesn't that mean that I've won?"
"Aren't you being unreasonable?" Old Friend Wu didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
He wanted to say more, but Du Xiwen had already admitted defeat.
He sighed. "Hah … that's right, I've lost."
Su Zicheng said hesitantly, "Mountain Elder, this …"
Du Xiwen waved his hand. Facing everyone's doubts, he began to explain:
"Don't think that it's only five moves. In fact, my young friend Wang and I have already played several rounds of chess."
He had even changed the way he addressed Wang Quan from "Young Hero" to "Young Friend".
Du Xiwen pointed at the chessboard and continued: "The first round is that I intend to use this game to observe my young friend's temperament. My young friend has also seen through this point.
"Therefore, his first move was to play Heaven's Origin. It was to tell me that he had already seen through my intentions. Moreover, playing Heaven's Origin was also a misleading move. He misled me into thinking that his character was the kind of person who could dominate the world alone.
"After that, I fell into a passive position. I could only deal with each move according to the situation. I used the white pieces to tell my young friend that even if a person can dominate the world, it's only for a short period of time. After a hundred years, nothing has changed in the world, and there's not even a hundred years left.
"When the five moves are over, my young friend has already told me the answer."
Du Xiwen pointed at the five black pieces and explained to the big shots around him. "Everyone, please take a look. The five white pieces are scattered around, but the black pieces are connected in a line. This is my young friend telling me that only by uniting different people can we achieve true liberation.
"These five pieces represent 'martial artists without power', 'businessmen', 'wealthy people', 'slaves', 'farmers', and 'hard workers' respectively.
"It requires a martial artist with the spirit of self-sacrifice to lead the other four types of people to have a chance of success. Because they are not people who enjoy the current Jianghu. "
As soon as he finished speaking, everyone suddenly came to a realization.
"So that's how it is! As expected of Du Xiwen! "
Old Friend Wu looked back at Wang Quan, his eyes full of gratitude and love. "You played well, Ah Quan!"
Wang Quan stared at him with dead fish eyes and complained, "No, it's because I don't know how to play Go at all …"
His knowledge of Go was limited to the rules.
Moreover, the rules here seemed to be different from his side. Why did they have to put down several flags in advance?
For him, this was equivalent to him only knowing that 1 + 1 = 2, but someone else asking him to solve calculus was nonsense.
He simply used the "Go Boy" protagonist Jiang Liuer's "Harmonious Heaven and Earth" opening, and then … amused himself by playing Gomoku.
Before he could finish saying "I don't know how to play Go", he was interrupted by Du Xiwen.
He had an "I understand" expression on his face. "Little friend, you don't have to smooth things over for me. I understand everything. Moreover, little friend's second purpose is the most amazing part. "
He continued to explain to the others Wang Quan's purpose. "What I thought just now is still superficial. The solution, little friend, has already said it."
Du Xiwen pointed to the chessboard. "That is to choose a different set of rules for Go. It's the same for us here. Why do we have to follow the model of the ancient dynasties? Can we choose a new path? "
The eyes of the big shots lit up, and Old Friend Wu blurted out, "Wonderful!"
Wang Quan: "…"
He really didn't think so much.
