Li Yundong knew his own family affairs. He went to a university, but in fact he learned nothing except spiritual knowledge and kung fu. It can be said that the university was basically wasted for several years, and all his time and energy were devoted to game novels and
Although he has been in the small world of Burning Finger Bowl for many years and has read some chess records, when it comes to his level of playing Go, he really dare not say that he is a master.
When he heard that Zhang Tianshi actually wanted to play Go with him, he was a little unsure and complained secretly, but his face remained calm and there was no sign of surrendering on his lips. He asked Zhang Tianshi how he would play with the sky as the chessboard.
method, but in fact, he was rapidly calculating the odds of victory in his heart.
Li Yundong knew that this kind of fighting could be regarded as a literary fight, not a physical fight.
Although literary battles are not as earth-shattering as martial arts fights, nor are they as dangerous and unpredictable, literary battles are actually more likely to lead to upsets, because the rules of literary battles are the most difficult to grasp, and whoever poses the literary battle questions basically has no choice.
That's more than half won.
This principle is just like Chinese Sanda and Muay Thai PK. Although no one agrees with the other, when it comes to PK competition, the first thing to fight for is not the skill of the fists and kicks, but the rules of the game. Whoever can fight for the rules of the game basically determines the overall situation.
decided.
Because no matter how powerful the Muay Thai master is, if he plays according to the rules of Sanda, the end result will be one word: lose! No matter how good the Sanda master is, if he plays according to the rules of Muay Thai, the end will be the same: lose!
This iron law has been verified many times in the fighting competition between China and Thailand.
Li Yundong is a grandmaster-level expert in both fighting and art-fighting. Naturally, he knows that when two parties are close in strength, whoever comes up with the methods and rules of the art-fighting first will win more than half.
Although he is a master of Jinxian, the reason why Wen Dou is so popular is that Wen Dou has many rules and regulations, which can smooth the strength gap between the two to the greatest extent.
Li Yundong secretly admired Zhang Tianshi's good plan, but he had to accept it.
Zhang Tianshi expected that although Li Yundong knew that his chances of winning were extremely low, he would never give in, so he said loudly to Li Yundong: "Master Li, look up!"
Li Yundong looked up and saw that the sky above Longhu Mountain was densely covered with clouds. Stripes slowly appeared in the clouds, dividing the clouds into grids and turning them into a huge chessboard.
Li Yundong's heart moved, and he suddenly understood. He knew that Zhang Tianshi wanted to play a game of chess in the sky using the sky as a chessboard and the clouds as chess pieces.
This kind of literary fight not only requires extremely strong magical power, but also requires the practitioner to have profound Go skills. For a practitioner, it is impossible for a practitioner to achieve this without the integration of heaven and man, and a great master with both civil and military skills.
People are on the ground and chess is played in the clouds.
Li Yundong took a deep breath. After hesitating for a moment, he readily agreed and said, "Okay, but who will take the lead?"
Zhang Tianshi laughed and said: "Master Li, I am old and old, and my cultivation level is not as good as yours. How about you let me go first?"
Li Yundong secretly smiled bitterly in his heart: This Celestial Master is so cunning. He actually lowered himself so low and admitted in front of his disciples that his cultivation is not as good as mine. How can I refute this?
If a person's status is too high and his reputation is too great, sometimes it is not a good thing. Li Yundong originally thought that since Zhang Tianshi had proposed the rules and regulations of the fight, he would have the upper hand, but he did not expect that Zhang Tianshi would actually
He was so shameless that he took away the advantage of having the upper hand. He was so thick-skinned that it was beyond the reach of ordinary people. At least he felt ashamed of himself.
Li Yundong's eyes widened and he lost his voice: "Master Zhang, you are not even willing to give me the first move?"
Zhang Tianshi seemed unable to hear the hint of sarcasm hidden in Li Yundong's words. He smiled and said: "Guests do as they please. It turns out that Mr. Li is a guest, so of course he must follow me, the host, what do you think?"
Well, you can say this kind of thing so grandly!
Li Yundong secretly cried out in his heart: You are careless, you are really careless. As the leader of the Zhengyi sect, Zhang Tianshi is such a scoundrel. How can he win?
Li Yundong thought for a moment and quickly came up with an idea. He sighed and said in a somewhat shaky tone: "Since Master Zhang said this, please let Master Zhang go first."
Zhang Tianshi perked up and said, "Okay, then I won't be polite!"
As he said that, Li Yundong looked up and saw a white light in the cave that shot straight into the sky, pierced through the clouds with a swish sound, and pierced a hole in the center of the chessboard, just like a sunspot was dropped in the middle of the chessboard.
When Li Yundong saw where the black man was, he was so horrified that he took a breath of air-conditioning and said with great shock: No way? The first subordinate Tian Yuan?! Is Zhang Tianshi crazy?
There is a saying in Go called "golden corners, silver edges, grass belly", which means that on the Go board, the four corners are the most valuable, followed by the area next to the border, then the middle, and the least valuable
It is the Tianyuan position in the middle.
Since ancient times, Go has been like the art of war. Although the Central Plains is a land of wealth and kings, it is also a battleground for military strategists and a place for hundreds of battles. Moreover, it is surrounded by empty areas, with no support, and flaws everywhere. There is no danger to defend, and there is no way to defend it.
For example, a corner has at least two sides that cannot be attacked, while a silver edge has one side that can be relied on, but the middle can be attacked from all directions. It can be said that it is impossible to defend and cannot attack.
If someone plays Tianyuan first in Go, there are only two possibilities. The first possibility is that he is an unparalleled genius, and the second possibility is that the opponent does not know how to play Go at all.
Although Li Yundong is not a national Go player, he also knows that Wu Qingyuan, "the strongest national Go player in ancient and modern times at home and abroad" in the history of Go, has never played Go like this.
Wu Qingyuan was born in Fuzhou, Fujian. At the age of 11, he went to Duan Qirui's mansion to support his family with his chess skills. At the age of 13, his chess skills reached their peak, defeating all the invincible players in China and seeking defeat alone.
Since the pinnacle of Go in the world was in Japan at that time, Wu Qingyuan could not find an opponent in China, so Wu Qingyuan went to Japan at the age of 14 to start his career as a professional Go player. At the age of 19, Wu Qingyuan challenged Hideya Honinbo, Japan's number one national player, and dominated Japanese chess for the next 20 years.
Altar, sweeping through thousands of armies, without encountering an enemy.
Especially when Wu Qingyuan was invading China during the Japanese military government, Wu Qingyuan single-handedly achieved unprecedented success. He defeated seven of Japan's top seven chess players in ten battles and demolished them all!
Even the defeated Japanese had to respectfully address Wu Qingyuan as "Showa Chess Master" when they saw him!
Such a great master of Go who has never been seen before or since has never played Tianyuan with his first move, but it happened that the leader of Longhushan Zhengyi Sect, Zhang Tianshi, played Tianyuan with his first move!
This is either a provocation, or he is deliberately humiliating because his Go strength is much higher than that of Li Yundong, or... Zhang Tianshi doesn't know how to play Go at all!
But the problem is, Zhang Tianshi, who has always been intolerant and practiced the "coward" technique, took the initiative to invite Li Yundong to a Go battle. Would he not understand Go? Are you kidding!
As soon as Zhang Tianshi used Tianyuan's first move, Li Yundong felt an unparalleled air of pride rising up. This seemed to be the proud, unruly and arrogant air that had been passed down for thousands of years by the Longhu Mountain Zhengyi Sect.
Without absolute confidence, I would not take this step!
Although Li Yundong thought he was not very good at Go, he was not a rookie who could be manipulated by others. When he saw Zhang Tianshi being so arrogant, he couldn't help but feel frightened and angry. After taking a breath of air, although he was furious, he suppressed his anger and calmed down.
Come and think about countermeasures.
Zhang Tianshi's first subordinate in Tianyuan was equivalent to swinging his sword straight to the middle palace with his first move, provoking him with his sword, with extraordinary momentum and amazing courage. At this time, Li Yundong had to face two choices: the first is to be patient and honest.
Really occupy the corners, lay out the momentum, play the "three three" or "star" positions, make the corners thicker, and make the force stronger. When the time comes, when the time comes to fight Zhang Tianshi's chess pieces in the middle game, the chance of winning will increase.
greatly increase.
But there are also weaknesses in this. Li Yundong will be inferior to others in terms of momentum. In many cases, whether it is Go, fighting, or fighting method, the battle is about momentum!
Once the momentum is lost, you will basically lose more than half of it. The three armies can seize their commanders, but one man cannot seize his will!
Therefore, Li Yundong has another way to deal with it, which is to face Zhang Tianshi's menacing challenge, head on, and fight with swords!
Li Yundong was also an arrogant person. After thinking for a moment, he raised his hand and waved his finger in the sky. His fingertips drew a circle in the air, and a white piece was drawn on the cloud chessboard. The white piece was on the chessboard.
The lower right corner position.
Deng Yu and Deng Jiao didn't understand Go, so they just looked up at the sky blankly, but some of the other disciples of the Zhengyi Sect in Longhu Mountain also noticed this scene, and they all exclaimed, raised their heads, pointed, and whispered to each other.
Ziyuan, who was waiting at the peak, also noticed something was wrong. When she looked up, she was shocked.
At this time, Li Yundong and Zhang Tianshi refused to give in to each other. Faced with Li Yundong's menacing pull, Zhang Tianshi did not hesitate to break the move. The two men's chess pieces were entangled at the beginning, forming a fighting situation.
The chess game in the sky was not as fierce and thrilling as the battle between two people, but it was still thrilling. Ziyuan saw Li Yundong and Zhang Tianshi fighting for each other, not giving in to each other, and the black and white stones were close to each other. Soon,
This formed the most thrilling and unpredictable "big avalanche" posture in Go.
Ziyuan was shocked and thought to herself: I once heard my master say that Zhang Tianshi is good at playing music, chess, calligraphy and painting, and Go is even more like a saint. Although Li Yundong is powerful in fighting skills, Go is not his strong point. He fights hand-to-hand with Zhang Tianshi like this.
Going into a "big avalanche" posture again, this is really asking for death! No, I have to help him! Otherwise, he will definitely lose!
Thinking of this, Ziyuan's figure swept away and rushed towards the main peak of Longhu Mountain.
