It has to be said that one Qionghua Banquet almost brought in all the literary and military talents in Kyoto. Just songs of the level of Mountains and Flowing Waters, four or five songs appeared in succession at the Qionghua Banquet.
But just when everyone was about to vote for the winner, a woman in white came out carrying a piano.
The woman in white moved coldly, knelt down on the ground, then raised her bare hands lightly, and slowly unfolded the song "Birds Facing the Phoenix". Unexpectedly, in this dark and cold winter, a strange bird flew out of the forest and circled around the top of the guqin.
Even Shen Ling'er, who was immersed in eating longan, was stunned by this scene. It took a while before she came back to her senses and continued to deal with the crystals on the plate.
a long time.
The meaning of the music gradually weakened, and so did the birds. One by one they fell down and rested next to the phoenix.
The lingering sound lingers around the beams, and hundreds of birds chirp, making you forget to leave.
After this song, no one dared to leave the show.
"The technique is close to the Tao, and this piece of music is already close to the Tao." His Majesty the Emperor smiled and nodded: "The Tao of Qin is led by this girl Chen Yu. Do you have any different meanings?"
"It should be so." The approvals came one after another. Even Liu Xiu shook his head and sighed softly, feeling ashamed.
Since then, there has been no controversy over Qindao Qingkui.
"Since you are a Qingkui, you should be rewarded." His Majesty the Emperor waved his hand and said leisurely: "I think your Fengqin should be an imitation of Fengqiqin, so I will reward you with Fengqiqin. I hope you will
Don’t let this piano gather dust.”
"What! Fengqi Guqin! Your Majesty just rewarded it like this?" Someone who also belongs to the Qin Dao opened his mouth slightly, with a look of disbelief on his face.
Liu Xiu also opened his eyes in astonishment and remained silent for a long time before sighing slightly.
"I will live up to His Majesty's expectations." A hint of joy appeared on Chen Yu's delicate and cold face. After bowing to the emperor Yingying, he took Feng Qiqin and returned to his seat happily.
His Majesty the Emperor nodded lightly and continued: "Now that Qingkui of Qin Dao has appeared, next is Chess Dao. However, considering that the game takes too long, it is not suitable for a large-scale competition in this banquet, so I have set up multiple endgames here.
, only those who solve it will be qualified to compete for the top spot in chess, and the time limit is half an hour."
As soon as His Majesty the Emperor finished speaking, several eunuchs immediately laid out chess pieces and placed them in the center of the banquet.
"Gentlemen, please."
As the eunuch in charge put down the chessboard on the back left, he saw that the chessboard was immediately surrounded by people swarming in. The large number of people made many martial arts practitioners feel confused... Could it be that chess is the way to go?
So popular?
In fact, the chess course is not like other courses. It only needs to understand the most basic rules to play chess reluctantly. And if they were allowed to play chess directly, there might not be so many people, but if they just solve the endgame... they can't solve it.
Isn’t it too much to watch the fun?
Seeing that even Elder Qi Gu came forward and joined in the fun, Nie Yun touched his chin and felt a little itchy for a moment: "Ling'er, why don't we go and have a look too."
"Huh? Master, do you know how to play chess?" Shen Ling'er's hand stretched out towards the jade plate paused slightly, and a hint of surprise flashed through her eyes.
"Uh... I guess I know how to do it. I learned a little bit from your master." Nie Yun scratched his head. In fact, he just wanted to join in the fun. Since entering the university hall, he has never touched Go.
Touched it.
"Then what are you waiting for? Let's go." Shen Ling'er's eyes suddenly lit up, and she instantly put down the crystal in her hand, then pulled Nie Yun's sleeves and squeezed in towards a mess.
"Hey, hey, what's going on? Don't squeeze!"
"Where did this girl come from? She doesn't know the rules!"
Shen Ling'er's barbaric intrusion immediately aroused a lot of dissatisfied voices, and they all started talking.

"Hey, look, you've been standing here for a long time and you haven't figured it out yet. You don't understand each other, so you got out of the way." Who is Shen Ling'er? She immediately crossed her arms and fired back with disdain.
Shen Ling'er's map cannon immediately caused everyone around the chessboard to explode, their faces all turned red, and they all cast their angry gazes at this ignorant girl, but they couldn't refute for a while, because at this time
Real chess masters have already solved the rest of the game.
"You...if you are good, you can figure it out!"
I don’t know who called out this sentence, but it instantly aroused everyone’s response.
"Humph, that's not a small problem." Shen Ling'er was not afraid at all. She raised her white chin slightly, then tugged on Nie Yun's sleeve behind her and said, "Master, look at you!"
"Huh???" Nie Yun's eyes widened slightly, and he felt the angry gazes coming towards him almost instantly, and the corners of his mouth twitched twice.
I've heard of people cheating on their parents, but I've never heard of people cheating on their masters...
"Ahem... Then let me take a look." Nie Yun faced dozens of looks, gritted his teeth, followed the path that his "good disciple" had opened up for himself, and reached the edge of the endgame, working hard
Observe.
On the chessboard, black stones and white stones are criss-crossed. The black stones are like a formation, and the white stones are like a dragon. The white dragon has already entered the formation, and the black stones are ready to slay the dragon.
Ask, what is the meaning of Bai Zi?
How to explain...As long as you are not blind, you can see that this white dragon is about to be slaughtered after no more than ten heads. How to explain...
Feeling the increasingly unkind eyes around him, Nie Yunwei secretly wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, and his heart skipped a beat. He had been pushed to this point, and he had to do it even if he couldn't.
"Master, come on!" Shen Ling'er also whispered to encourage Nie Yun.
"you shut up..."
Nie Yun didn't even look back, carefully studying the chess game.
Since it is the endgame set up by His Majesty, there is a solution after all!
Nie Yun's brain was spinning rapidly, simulating the big white dragon's breakouts again and again.
"no."
"no!"
"Or not!"
It seems that no matter how Bailong breaks through, he cannot escape the fate of being cut off by Heizi in the end!
Nie Yun's brows furrowed even more tightly, and he could faintly detect a familiar smell from this chessboard.
Yes!
I seemed to have experienced a similar situation during a game with my master!
In that game, when the master gave me more than ten moves, I almost cut off the master's dragon. What did the master do at that time?
Nie Yun frowned, then slapped his thigh suddenly, his eyes bursting with light.
"You guy, you can do it if you can, but you can't do it if you can't. Why are you just trying to scare people?" Nie Yun's sound of slapping his thighs startled others so much that their heartbeats skipped a beat, and they couldn't help complaining.
But Nie Yun didn't have time to care about this at this time. Instead, he excitedly said to the eunuch in charge: "I've solved it!"
Nie Yun picked up a white chess piece and slammed it outside the black flag formation. It was not connected to the white dragon, but it vaguely echoed it from a distance.
The onlookers were not said to be proficient in chess, but they still knew a little bit about chess. Looking at this move, they all frowned slightly.
"What solution is this? Abandon the dragon and ignore it?"
"Sir, what is the explanation for this?" The eunuch in charge showed a hint of surprise in his eyes, carefully checked the chess records in his opponent's hand, and then said respectfully.
The solution in his hand was the only flaw in Bailong's grasp of Heizi, and he escaped from the trap just before he could be killed.
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
From then on, he traveled all over the world, and Nie Yun's method... From his perspective, it was somewhat wrong.
However, there are no absolutes. There are more variables in Go, so he does not dare to make rash judgments.
"Just give it a try." Nie Yun smiled slightly and made a gesture of invitation.
The eunuch in charge was stunned for a moment, then he picked up a sunspot and slashed towards the dragon according to the planned trajectory.
As soon as the two men moved, the chessboard was quickly filled up, and the big white dragon was about to be cut off.
"Sir, I'm afraid you are helpless." The eunuch in charge mentioned a sunspot, with a trace of doubt in his eyes. After killing the dragon, the situation was one-sided, but Nie Yun didn't seem to pay much attention to it.
"Haha, I said it a little early." Nie Yun smiled slightly, crossed his right index finger and middle finger up and down, clamped a white chess piece, and dropped it towards the chessboard.
In an instant, golden light seemed to burst out from the chessboard, and the white chess pieces arranged outside the black formation actually formed a small dragon, echoing the big dragon!
It is foreseeable that if Black wants to completely cut off the big dragon, he will be bitten crazily by the little dragon, causing his own formation to collapse, and the big dragon will destroy itself without moving!
"I'll go, wonderful!"
At this time, some of the people on the side finally saw this, their eyes lit up, and they clapped their hands violently.
"That's not right. As long as the black chess piece doesn't take the initiative to cut off the big dragon, the small dragon can't attack the black chess piece. This should be a stalemate." Some people frowned slightly and said in confusion.
"Stupid, the big dragon can't be trapped for a long time! As long as black doesn't dare to cut off the big dragon, when the big dragon and the little dragon successfully collude, they will be completely defeated!"
The eunuch in charge who was able to be here naturally saw this, and then sighed helplessly, grabbed two black stones and threw them on the chessboard, thus surrendering.
"My lord is so careless."
"Hey, luck, just luck." Nie Yun's lips curled up slightly, and then gradually widened. It must be said that the greatest joy of chess is to find a little hope in a desperate situation, and then turn defeat into victory.
"Wow! Master, you actually figured it out!" Shen Ling'er, with bright eyes, hugged Nie Yun's arm and said with a sweet smile.
"...Do you think I can't figure it out?" Nie Yun was keenly aware of the loopholes in Shen Ling'er's words, and then twitched the corner of his mouth slightly, suddenly realizing that his disciple was so sinister, he couldn't help but said angrily:
"Are you worthy of all the longan I gave you???"
"Uh... no, I mean, the master is the best!" The smile on Shen Ling'er's face suddenly froze, and then she hugged Nie Yun's arm and acted coquettishly, trying to get through.
"Haha." Nie Yun rolled his eyes: "Spit out all the longan I peeled."
"...It's not impossible." Shen Ling'er's smart eyes rolled around in a circle, and she felt like vomiting.
"I'll go!" Nie Yun subconsciously jumped back two steps. Seeing Shen Ling'er who was nauseating in front of him, he finally waved his hand helplessly: "You...forget it, I'll punish you later."
Master peels longan."
Shen Ling'er straightened up immediately, hugged Nie Yun's arm and said with a smile: "Hehe, no problem, master!"
"...Then let's go back." Nie Yun shook his head and sighed, but as soon as he lifted his steps, he was stopped by a feeling arm.
"Wait a minute, sir, if you break the end game, you have to participate in the Qingkui competition in chess." The eunuch in charge said helplessly.
"Ah..." Nie Yun patted his forehead. He was so excited just now that he forgot that there was such a thing: "Can you admit defeat..."
"This... Sir, you have to talk to His Majesty personally."
