Zhou Fang smiled casually and looked at Li Luo: "There is no need to hide in front of Mr. Zhuge. My opportunity is right in front of me, even if I have half a floor. If I have to look at Shu from a long distance, in the end the gain outweighs the loss."
Li Luo smiled and lowered his voice and said, "Since Brother Zhou said so, you and I should better experience the He family's Pinmei Club."
"It should be so."
Zhou Fang and Li Luo looked at each other and smiled, standing quietly in the plum blossom forest, calm and relaxed. The surrounding plum blossoms made them look even more extraordinary, and they felt a bit outstanding.
From time to time, people pointed at Li Luo and the two, and even the members of the He family frequently paid attention, with a hint of ardent expectation embedded in their kindness and kindness.
After breakfast, some among the crowd couldn't hold themselves back and hurried to break through the barrier.
Not long after, a burst of whispering came from the plum blossom forest not far ahead. Li Luo and Zhou Fang were stunned and confused, and walked over looking for the sound. They saw a group of people gathered around and talking before the second gate closed.
One after another. Although the calmer ones in the crowd looked solemn but still calm, there were also some people who were quite excited, angry and dissatisfied, with disappointment evident on their faces.
Zhou Fang inquired for a while, but when he heard the reason, he was stunned and said with a wry smile: "It seems that I have to stop at this pass."
"Hey, why did Brother Zhou say this?"
"Just now a fellow martial artist said that the gatekeeper in front of this gate is no one else. He is the junior fellow student of Mr. Zhongqi, the famous Tianya Four Friends in the martial arts world. The test is about chess skills. Hey, I am not very good at chess skills.
It’s not that I don’t know anything, but it’s not much better. It seems like my luck is really bad.” Zhou Fang shook his head and laughed, and he didn’t expect that the first person he met in Wanmeiyuan would be Mr. Qi’s junior brother.
"Mr. Chess." Li Luo was startled, and remembered the old man in white he met under the agarwood tree by the Qinghe River when he and Concubine Yun went south that day. In a chess match, Li Luo played a trick, and luckily won a move. From then on
I have never interacted with this Mr. Qi again, and I never thought that today when I arrived at Chaomu Mountain in Meishan County, Wangmei Prefecture, Qinzhou, I would meet Mr. Qi’s fellow junior.
"Exactly, Mr. Qi's chess skills are superb, and he doesn't think twice in the world of Da Gan. Although this senior gatekeeper is not as famous as Mr. Qi, he has the same friendship with Mr. Qi, and his chess skills must be different.
Normally, if you want to break through the barrier, you must be careful." Zhou Fang said softly, almost extinguishing the thought of breaking through the barrier in his words, so he simply let go like this to avoid feeling unwilling.
"Brother Zhou, it's too early to say that there is no hope of breaking through the barrier. You and I will take a look before we talk." Li Luo said with a smile.
Zhou Fang looked normal, nodded, and stood outside the crowd with Li Luo, looking at the scene before closing the door. There was a low table in front of the white stone wall, burning incense and meditating. There were three chessboards in the middle, and two chessboards on the
A lot of black and white pieces have been lost, and there is no piece left on the chessboard. There is an old man in gray sitting behind the table. His face is old and his body is thin, but he has a stubbornness that would rather break than bend. He seems to be extremely stubborn. At this time,
He looked at the chessboard on the table solemnly.
Li Luo heard some comments from the people around him. This old man's name is unknown. People in the world call him chess crazy. He is so addicted to chess that he almost forgets to eat and sleep. This old man's chess skills are indeed extraordinary. He can be called a national master. In the chess art,
Very few people can match the depth of his attainments.
Among the people traveling together this time, some people know something about the secrets of the Wanmei Garden Plum Appreciation Party. In previous years, most of the chess players guarded the level after the fourth level. They are the only ones who guard the second level like this. You must improve your chess skills.
There are very few people who can beat chess madness. Even if there are people who are proficient in chess skills, they may not be able to beat this old man. In this case, they can only stop here. Some people secretly slander the He family for being stingy. I am afraid that this plum tasting meeting will be
It's just an appearance. The He family was worried that there would be too many opportunities to give away at the plum tasting event held every five years, so they came up with this strategy to block everyone from the second level of Wanmei Garden.
The onlookers were talking incessantly, but there were also people who looked cold and proud, obviously confident that they could compete with the chess masters in chess skills. Even though they were a little solemn, they did not mess up their mood and lose their fighting spirit.
The chess game is clearly black and white, with intertwined teeth. People who are proficient in chess skills are gathered in twos and threes, pointing at the chessboard. However, no one has broken through the game rashly for a while. It seems that they are planning to make a decision before moving on. Although Wanmeiyuan has broken through the game and has not
There is no limit to the number of times, but it is not a shameful thing to fail in front of the heroes of the world. However, those who know nothing about chess can only stare with big eyes and small eyes. If there is no family member here, I'm afraid
Most of the time he will yell and curse.
He Shanxue was not among the crowd. He and an elderly man with a handsome face entered the gate of Wanmei Garden first. Before leaving, Li Luo glanced at him from a distance. He Shanxue's appearance was somewhat similar to that of He Shanxue. He asked
After asking Zhou Fang, it turned out to be He Yi, the head of the He Mansion. Before the two left, they looked humble and said that they would welcome all the fellow Jianghu people after closing the door. Looking at the appearance of everyone now, I am afraid that they have already begun to curse He Mansion secretly in their hearts.
It’s different.
Li Luo had no desire but a need. He looked intently at the two pieces of the game in front of Qi Dian. After a few glances, he couldn't help but let out a light sigh.
"Master Zhuge, what's the secret?" Zhou Fang asked in a low voice.
"This chess game is a bit weird. It doesn't seem to be about winning or losing."
"If you don't seek victory or defeat? What would that be?"
"I dare not say for sure. It seems to be a technique for seeking changes in the chess game. It is slightly different from ordinary chess games. The vertical and horizontal opening and closing of the layout also has a different artistic conception. Maybe my chess skills are not good and I cannot see the mystery." Li Luo pondered.
road.
Zhou Fang glanced at Li Luo. Li Luo had a reputation for talent in Zhuocheng. Music, chess, calligraphy and painting were also compulsory courses for princes and princes. Li Luo was no stranger to chess games, but he just didn’t know the depth of his attainments and whether he could break the chess game.
If Zhou Fang had known that Li Luo had had a chess match with Mr. Qi among the Four Friends of Tianya, and that although he was slightly inferior in chess, he was still victorious in adapting to changes, he would not be so worried now.
Li Luo glanced at the people around him. Several people in the crowd had sneers on their faces, as if they had a plan in mind. Obviously, there was a secret in defeating the game with chess, and it didn't necessarily mean that they must be better than chess players in terms of chess skills.
Just as Li Luo was thinking about it, he suddenly heard someone beside him whisper: "I didn't expect that Senior Qi Dian would hold on to this level this year. It's indeed a bit unexpected."
"Brother Yang, I heard that my uncle came here five years ago. I wonder what the situation was like at that time?"
"I'm ashamed. Brother Yu also heard a few words from my father. However, my father once said that everyone's opportunities are different. What I heard last time may not be what I see this time, so I can't say it accurately."
