Chapter 460
On New Year's Day 2050, a "Zhenlong" was released on the website of the Spring and Autumn Palace and the Chinese Chess Academy, just like Zhenlong cracked by Xu Zhu from the Tianlong Ba Ministry. If anyone can crack it independently, he can become an outer disciple of the Spring and Autumn Palace.
Anyone who thinks he has cracked it can send an email to the China Chess Academy. After the certification of Jiudan chess player Tan Xiao, he will go to Kunlun Mountain for further tests. The travel expenses and loss of work will be paid by the Chunqiu Palace. If he fails the test, he will be given a kilogram of Linggu. If he passes the test, he can join the Chunqiu Palace and become an outer disciple.
Moreover, the website also said that the outer disciples of the Spring and Autumn Palace are not inferior to others, but their skills are relatively low and they need to be improved to a certain level before they can become inner disciples.
Some people were curious and stared at Zhenlong for a long time, but they couldn't see the mystery.
China has a population of 30 million, and many Go enthusiasts think this is both fun and weird.
Logically speaking, no matter how complicated Zhenlong is, whether it can be cracked in the end depends on the chess player's chess power. The chess power is related to the time when he invades the board. Is this method reliable by cracking Zhenlong to select disciples?
However, the Zhenlong set up by Qin Di is actually a simple maze array that ordinary people cannot see through, and they even don’t know how many pieces there are on the chessboard! So a strange phenomenon occurred. Even the Go teenagers from the Chinese Chess Academy gathered together to study Zhenlong, and they were still the ones who said that the mother had the right reason, because everyone saw different positions of the chess pieces, and they could not discuss them at all.
Only some people who have used their intelligence can see the real Zhenlong, and the difficulty of cracking is not too great.
The Spring and Autumn Palace sponsored the Chinese Chess Academy with 200 million yuan, and asked the nine-degree master Tan Xiao for preliminary review, because Tan Xiao had visited Kunlun Mountain and Qin Di had a relationship with him. He knew that he had a secondary spiritual root. Although the spiritual root was relatively poor, he could see through Zhenlong's layout.
The 200 million yuan is purely a drizzle for the Spring and Autumn Palace, and it is still exciting for the Chess Academy.
But there are too many emails coming! And 99% are wrong! Many people think they have cracked it, but they can't even see the position of the chess piece clearly. How can they crack Zhenlong?
Tan Xiao was so tired that he was like a dog. He wanted to ask someone to help him, so he told the students of the chess academy the correct way of walking the first two steps and asked them to help review it. He did not say the subsequent steps because he was afraid of being leaked outside.
A young student helped him, after the first step of review, he could cut off 95% of the emails, which relieved Tan Xiao's pressure.
Despite this, Tan Xiao couldn't help but complain: "The Chunqiu Palace is too bullying. The 200 million yuan is really not easy to make. I would have known that I shouldn't have taken this job."
The young man below asked: "Teacher Tan, this Zhenlong is so weird. I am also a second-level professional, but I am confused. Every time I see it, it is different. What's going on?"
Tan Xiao said: "This is the special method of Mr. Qin, a chess saint. Please help me record the people who took the previous steps. If they are eliminated by the Spring and Autumn Palace, they can also be recruited to our chess academy."
"What are you recruited to the chess academy?"
"I want to advise the dean to set up a 'chess school gate', and maybe playing chess can increase his cultivation. In the past two days, I have been staring at Zhenlong, and gradually felt that my hands and feet were getting hot, as if they were the legendary Qigong."
"Teacher, you are going to become a cultivator too? I wonder if you can become an immortal?"
"I want to ask Mr. Qin and ask him to give me some advice."
"I heard that Mr. Qin lives in seclusion in Kunlun Mountain, which is difficult for ordinary people to see."
"Yes, Jiudan like me is like a primary school student in front of Mr. Qin. Not to mention me, he has given three sons to the past."
"Oh, why is the gap between people so big?"
Half a year later, Tan Xiao met Qin Di in the Spring and Autumn Palace and said respectfully: "Sir, after so many days, a total of 325 people were selected. These people took the right four steps; there were only 28 people who took the right seven steps; there were only two people who took the right seven steps."
Qin Di said: "Thank you. Please notify these 28 people and come to the Spring and Autumn Palace for the second round of test."
Tan Xiao asked: "I want to ask sir, can playing chess become a way to practice?"
Qin Di nodded: "Yes. There are chess immortals outside the domain, and there is a great way hidden on the chessboard."
Tan Xiao bowed deeply: "I would like to give me some advice, I am grateful to you."
Qin Di smiled slightly and said, "Do you understand "Go Youminglu"?"
"I don't understand very well, I can only understand some of the fur."
Qin Di took out a booklet and said, "This is the "Basic Building of Chess Immortals" I compiled recently. Take it and take a look. If you are lucky, you may be able to embark on the road of cultivation. If one day you can complete the foundation building, you can come to the Spring and Autumn Palace and become an inner disciple."
Tan Xiao took the booklet, his heart thumped "bang" and said excitedly: "Thank you, sir."
He is already 48 years old. He thought he had passed most of his life, but he didn't expect that there would be a turning point suddenly. How could he not be excited?
He bowed to Qin Di repeatedly, then returned to Shangjing, and went to retreat to study "The Foundation Building of Chess Immortals".
At the same time, 28 people who cracked 7 Bu Zhenlong came to Kunlun Mountain one after another.
After testing, two of them became outer disciples, seven became servile disciples, and the rest received a pack of Linggu and went home.
The two young men who walked ten steps, one was Gu Kun, the fifth generation grandson of Gu Shuiru; the other was Wang Heng, who was said to be descendants of Go master Wang Jixin.
Qin Di felt a little surprised. Wang Jixin was a Go master in the Tang Dynasty. Even if he had spiritual roots, how could he continue to last for dozens of generations?
However, the law of nature is unpredictable and many things cannot be considered.
Both of them have good Go foundations and are almost at the level of entering the profession.
Qin Di taught them "Basic Building of Chess Immortals" and allowed them to come here once a year to ask for advice...
The book "The Foundation Building of Chess Immortal" was also given to the five errand disciples, but it was difficult for them to see Qin Di.
Three years later, Tan Xiao came out of seclusion and began to recruit disciples in the chess academy. However, because his own strength was limited, even if he had good disciples, he would switch to the Spring and Autumn Palace.
Although Tan Xiao didn't care, the president of the Chess Academy cared very much, because at this time, the Chess Academy had applied to establish a sect. If the masters could not stay, how could the Chess Academy continue to operate?
In the subsequent "Sectarian Consultation Conference", the president of the Chess Academy proposed to "restrict the transfer of disciples".
This suggestion has received support from many sects because no one wants the disciples he has worked hard to transfer to his sect.
Regarding this issue, many sect leaders discussed and studied it and formed specific regulations.
For example, you can transfer within five years of entry, but you will not allow it for more than five years; external disciples can transfer, but inner disciples are not allowed; some sects with little hope should allow their disciples to transfer, and the top sects restrict their transfer; if you really want to change the sect, you need to pay high transfer fees...
No matter what, these things have no big impact on the Spring and Autumn Palace. It is natural for the strong to be strong.
