"Guan Gong, what's wrong with Tianyuan?" Du Kang said sincerely, "I really don't know how to play Go!"
"The opening move of Tianyuan is basically regarded as a handicap. Brother, you are quite confident in your own chess skills." Guan Gong stroked his beard and sighed.
Du Kang's face was ashen, and he felt that he had no thoughts about the future of his life. This kind of precision stepping on mines felt like playing minesweeper and the first one exploded... It was really unlucky!
As for the fact that Guan Gong called him Xiongtai, Du Kang didn't care at all. Anyway, everyone called him his own, and he had always called himself subordinate, so he just got used to it.
"It turns out that Xiongtai really doesn't know how to play Go, so why don't we play a different kind of chess?" Guan Gong was very considerate, "We will play whatever kind of chess Xiangtai knows how to play. If Xiongtai beats Guan,
Every time you win a game, Guan must be given a good gift."
"Is this true?" Du Kang suddenly became energetic after hearing this.
"Guan never breaks his promise." Guan Gong said with a smile.
Du Kang was excited.
Although it was mentioned in the novice guide that there is no way to bring any physical objects back, but at this moment, what is in front of me is Guan Gong!
This is a real god, the kind with so many titles that you can't even count them. The martial sage Guan Gong who is "literary Confucius, Wu Guangong", looking at the history of thousands of years, there is only such a person!
Just pick up some martial arts secrets, practice techniques and the like, just write them down and practice them after you go back, wouldn't it mean that you can just take off from the same spot?
Du Kang doesn't even look forward to what he did this time - the salary that Bai Lao wants to open has not yet been "negotiated", and Guan Gong's gift is the most important!
But the premise is that you must be able to defeat Guan Gong in the chess game.
In this case, it is possible to at least choose a type of chess that you are good at...
"Guan Gong, let's play backgammon, okay?" Du Kang looked at Guan Gong seriously.
"Go-bang chess," Guan Gong stroked his beard and nodded, "the simpler the game, the more the game will be tested. Of course, it is possible, so I asked my brother to take the black piece first."
Du Kang was not surprised that Guan Gong knew about backgammon. He only found out about it when an "omnipotent book friend" pointed it out to him when he was writing. It is said that backgammon was invented by Huangdi Xuanyuan more than 4,000 years ago during his time.
The emperor invented Go even earlier, and it was not what many people think - it was a product of modern times because there were too many people who couldn't play Go.
"Then, I would be disrespectful to refuse."
Regarding the rewards promised fairly, Du Kang would naturally not be humble at this time, and would simply re-enact them with his own hands. Anyway, Lord Guan Gong would not care about this if he had a lot of them...
There was a moment of silence in the hall where the candlelight was transparent, and the young man could hear his breathing, holding his hand, raising his hand, and falling down, making a crisp sound.
Luozi, Tianyuan!
…
On the road in the middle of the night, with only the waning moon in the sky casting a thin veil of light, an old man who looked to be at least sixty or seventy years old was walking in one direction anxiously with a brisk pace that was completely inconsistent with his age.
And go.
After entering the gate and passing through the courtyard, the old man came to the front of the main hall. He was anxious and expecting, but involuntarily slowed down and walked to the front of the main hall step by step.
Getting closer, the old man heard a series of crisp sounds coming from the hall. For a moment, he didn't quite understand what was going on inside. He didn't dare to disturb him, so he stayed outside and waited. He didn't dare to look in, for fear of disturbing the people inside.
Similar.
"The person Guan is waiting for has arrived." A calm and neutral voice came from the hall, calling, "Baishan, come in."
"Yes, villain Bai Shan, come in now..." Bai Lao walked into the main hall respectfully and cautiously. He finally saw the situation in the hall clearly, and then his figure swayed and he could hardly stand.
The first person to attract attention is naturally the one with a face as heavy as jujube, lips as greased, red phoenix eyes, and silkworm eyebrows... Isn't this the Wusheng Palace that he has been cleaning for decades to enshrine the true master, Guan Gong?
Also, isn't the person sitting opposite Guan Gong the immortal sent by the Immortal to "step in" for him, Mr. Du?
And between the two of them, there is a chessboard and chess pieces that are obviously carved directly on the ground... The two gods are playing chess!
"The villain has received the kindness of Guan Gong for saving his life. He has nothing to repay. He can only kowtow to express his gratitude!" As Bai Lao said, he was about to kneel down and kowtow. But as soon as his legs were bent, he could no longer kneel down, as if there was an invisible force.
The strength seemed to support his legs.
"You did good deeds to save the hungry people. If you die because of this, Guan will not be able to see it in this world. This is because you see things are unfair and draw your sword to help. There is no need to thank me." Guan Gong stroked his beard and said.
"In addition, Guan Mou has thought of you wholeheartedly and has been sincerely cleaning up this place for many years. He is also kind-hearted and wants to wait for Ruyang to die and accept you to serve in this temple. What do you think?"
"It's natural to do this. Thank you, Guan Gong! Thank you, Guan Gong!" Boss Bai was overjoyed and knelt down to kowtow again. This time he succeeded, but after three times, he could no longer be lifted up by the invisible force.
Du Kang paused for a moment and slowly exhaled. He was racking his brains just now. He could clearly hear the conversation between Guan Gong and Bai Lao, but he had no time to interrupt... In comparison,
Of course, the rewards mentioned by Guan Gong are more important!
"Well... Guan lost this game again," Guan Gong glanced at the chessboard, waved his sleeves, separated the black and white chess pieces, and then looked at Du Kang, "So, brothers and sisters defeated Guan together.
Three rounds.”
"That's what Guan Gong said." Du Kang looked at Guan Gong with expectant eyes.
Three rounds, three whole rounds!
Du Kang no longer wants to think about how he won these three games... all he can think about now is rewards!
"Guan has always kept his promises. Since there are three games in total... then let's use this as a gift to my brother!" Guan Gong stroked his long beard, turned his right hand over, palm facing up, and a ball of light emerged. As Guan Gong flicked his finger,
It actually disappeared directly into the center of Du Kang's brows, "I'll let you know what it is specifically. I'll let you know. Brother, I'll know it in the future. I hope you can examine it carefully and study it."
"Thank you Guan Gong! I will obey your orders!"
Du Kang was very excited. Although he didn't know what he was giving, the person who gave the gift was Guan Gong. Just giving him something small would be enough to last him a lifetime. Plus he checked and studied...could it be some kind of cultivation technique?
"So, that's it for now. Guan still has business to attend to and is about to leave. If you see me again in the future, please remember to bring some wine with you." Guan Gong stood up, stroked his beard and said with a smile.
"If I have the chance, I will definitely treat Guan Gong to drink the best wine!" Du Kang nodded repeatedly.
"Very good, very good!"
After the sound, the hall fell into silence. Du Kang and Bai Lao looked around, but there was no sign of Guan Gong. Looking at the statue of Guan Gong again, Guan Gong's eyes had been closed. The previous "golden bodies" had long since disappeared, except for a few scratches.
Outside, the entire hall actually looked the same as before.
[Newbie guide:
1. End of substitute shift: The return or death of the client will be regarded as the end of substitute shift.
2. Countdown to return: After the shift ends, you can stay for different times depending on the length of the shift and other factors. The countdown to the remaining stay time can be viewed as you wish]
After Du Kang checked the two novice instructions that suddenly popped up, with a thought, he saw a countdown appear - 00:01:00.
Du Kang: "???"
Just give me a minute?
My salary here has not yet been "negotiated"!
Although receiving a gift from Guan Gong is equivalent to winning a big prize by buying a lottery ticket, the salary you get from working is also deserved and cannot be ignored!
"The Immortal..."
"Where is this place?" Du Kang directly interrupted Bai Lao and asked.
"Where...is it?" Bai Lao was stunned, not quite understanding what Du Kang meant.
"Place name, what is the name of the place here? County? Prefecture? State? County?" Du Kang looked at the countdown that passed by one minute and one second. He was very anxious. The only thing he could ask now that might be valuable was this. He was so anxious.
He didn't have time to ask clearly what system the administrative regions here are divided into.
"This is Guizhou, Zigui County..." Bai Lao's answer was like a bomb detonating in Du Kang's mind.
Du Kang instantly recalled the long passage that Guan Gong had said before, and now he seemed to understand why it felt familiar at that time.
A guess came to Du Kang's mind.
If this conjecture is true... Du Kang can only give a two-word evaluation - crazy!
After coming back to his senses and looking at the countdown with only ten seconds left, Du Kang decided to do an experiment.
"Do you remember, Mr. Bai, what I said before, the remuneration for substitutes?" Du Kang asked.
"Of course the villain has never forgotten it." Mr. Bai lowered his head and said.
"I would like to ask Mr. Bai to write a composition about this matter and hide it here, Your Highness. Remember it, remember it!"
"This is easy. I will ask someone to write a book and write a biography about this tomorrow and submit it to the Immortal Chief for review. What do you think, Immortal Chief... Immortal Chief, Immortal Chief?"
Bai Lao couldn't wait for the "immortal chief"'s reply. He raised his head in confusion, but he was the only one left in the hall, and there was no trace of anyone else.
If it weren't for the traces still on the bronze statue, Bai Lao would have almost thought it was just a dream.
PS: Shared house diary↓
After a week of fussing, I finally managed to drag Ashue out and go to the gym.
Speaking of gyms, we have to mention applying for a card. In order to save money as much as possible, I conducted a "bidding" style bargaining.
That is, the two gyms go back and forth to see the environment (even if they like it very much, don't show it), then ask for prices and bargain, but don't make a decision (no matter how much the price is reduced).
I told the manager of one gym that I was looking at another gym, and the other gym offered a lower price. After a few rounds of back and forth, I directly cut off a lot from the initial price offered by one gym. Of course, the manager must still earn a commission, which is acceptable.
Yes, but you can't be ripped off as a traitor.
Everything went smoothly so far. After completing the formalities, we started exercising directly, but I overlooked a serious problem - I had previous experience in weightlifting and did not need a personal trainer, and Axue had never been here before.
.
As we all know, applying for a card is only the entry fee for the gym, and most of the money is spent on personal training... I don't need personal training, but Axue...
When I realized this, Ashue was gone.
When I found Axue, Axue had already signed a personal training contract...
Another day I’m sorry for Ashue
(Speaking of which, I was the one who brought Ashue here. Is it reasonable for me to get a commission from a personal trainer?) (Wonderful.jpg)
