Zhao Layue and Jing Jiu were originally the center of people's attention, and today this situation is even more obvious, because many people have heard that Jing Jiu wants to challenge Tong Yan in a chess battle.There are all kinds of emotions in his gaze, some laugh at him for being incompetent, some sympathize with him, some worry about him, and so on.If people's eyes can really shine, Jing Jiu, who is watched by so many people, must be particularly bright.Zhao Layue remembered what Jing Jiu had said before—the sun was mentioned in that sentence.In countless sights, the four of them walked towards the depths of the chessboard mountain.Cersei held Zhao Layue's hand and gossiped, Zhao Layue had a cold temperament and would occasionally reply, but Cersei was still very happy and chattered non-stop.The Hanging Bell Sect's Senior Sister Cui explained to Jing Jiu with some apologies: "In the sect, Miss Cui rarely has someone to talk to. ”Jing Jiu nodded and said, "It's also a fate." ”Senior Sister Cui smiled gratefully and said with concern, "Which pavilion are you going to choose?"
”Jing Jiu said, "I don't understand what you mean. ”Senior Sister Cui was a little surprised, thinking to herself that since you are going to challenge Tong Yan at the Mei Meeting, haven't you made some preparations in advance, at least know some rules?
The rules of the Meihui chess battle are very simple - those scattered pavilions among the green mountains are the places of chess battles, and the cultivators who sign up for the chess battle can choose a pavilion to sit in at will and wait for others to challenge themselves, of course, you can also choose those pavilions that have already sat in the other party to challenge each other.Anyway, there is only one winner in the end of the chess battle, and it doesn't matter how far you can go, and you don't need to care about the lottery and the opponent.Zhao Layue heard their conversation and asked, "What if someone sits in the pavilion and no one challenges them?"
”"Before the start and after each round, the presiding officer of the Mei Club will seal the pavilion to ensure that everyone has an opponent."
Cersei smiled slyly and said, "Wouldn't it save a lot of energy by picking the weakest guy and then slowly delaying it until the end?"
”If you do this, you can play a few fewer games, and you don't break the rules, it's just a little ugly.Senior Sister Cui said with a smile: "The game is an elegant thing, with the teacher and the legendary predecessors watching, who can afford to lose this person?"
”Cersei pursed his lips and said, "If you have a advantage, you don't take advantage of it, where is the demeanor, it's stupid." ”………… The selection of pavilions in the Meihui chess battle is a very particular thing, for example, cultivators who believe that they have a strong Taoist heart often choose the pavilion closest to the waterfall.- He himself is not affected by the sound of the waterfall, but his opponents are not necessarily so determined.But no matter what Cersei thinks, in the eyes of the vast majority of cultivators and mortals, playing chess is first and foremost an extremely elegant thing, even above calligraphy, painting and piano.When the monks participating in the chess battle choose a pavilion, they often pay more attention to whether the environment of the pavilion is charming, such as whether there is a bamboo shadow falling, or whether they can hear the pine waves?
Qipan Mountain is guarded by a formation, not to be disturbed by rain, snow, ice and frost, and no matter how strong the wind enters the mountains, it will become a gust of breeze.In the breeze and birdsong, the chess viewer can walk freely in the mountains, watch the chess game at will, except that there is no restriction on not talking to interfere with the game, even if you want to drink, it is not harmful, quite a bit of a winding water.Which pavilion will Jing Jiu choose?
Both Cersei and Senior Sister Cui were a little curious, and the cultivators who were watching him from a distance were also very concerned.Zhao Layue thought to herself, he should choose a pavilion that can get the sun?
Jing Jiu led the three of them through the bamboo sea and pine forest, walked past the waterfall, and continued to walk towards the mountains, meeting some people on the way.Some sect disciples who were good friends with the Qingshan Sect hurriedly stepped forward to salute, and some small sects in the south were even more respectful.Some sects that are good friends with the Xihai Sword Sect and the Kunlun Sect arch their hands at will, often accompanied by a cold snort.Those sects that were good friends with the Zhongzhou faction were calm on the surface, but the eyes of Jing Jiu and the others were a little irritating, because the mockery and banter in them were too obvious.............
"I'm not happy. ”Zhao Layue's face did not show any emotion, but her eyes were a little cold."
Why?"
Jing Jiu didn't understand why he was angry at the ridicule and contempt of others.He believed that Zhao Layue was also a person like himself.So he didn't understand why she was upset.Zhao Layue said: "I know you can win, but I alone know that you can win, this feeling is not good." ”Jing Jiu said: "More accurate?
”Zhao Layue thought for a while and said, "It's not brocade night walking, it's not another word, I can't think of a suitable description." ”Se Se said quietly: "It seems that it is indeed a very complicated emotion. ”Senior Sister Cui was listening to this conversation, thinking that the Taoist friends of the Qingshan Sect were really dedicated to cultivating the Tao and didn't know much about other things.How easy is it to win a chess battle at the Mei Meeting?
Not to mention defeating that child-faced boy, even if Jing Jiu wanted to meet the other party, according to the probability, he would have to win at least five or six games of chess first.The question is can you win?
Jing Jiu once won the first place in the chess battle of the Four Seas Banquet, but how can the Four Seas Banquet be compared to Mei Hui?
In the eyes of many cultivators, the Four Seas Banquet is just a clumsy imitation of the Mei Hui by those nouveau riche in the West Sea, and the truly well-established monastic sects have rarely participated, as for the results......
In the past, the winners of the Four Seas Banquet Chess Battle often couldn't even get into the top 30 at the Mei Meeting.Senior Sister Cui was very worried that Jing Jiu didn't understand these things, and wanted to remind him that there were many opponents besides Tong Yanmei who were difficult for him to defeat.At this time, they happened to walk past a field of wild flowers, and came to a clearing between the cliffs, surrounded by several pavilions, for some reason there were few people here, and they felt a little deserted.Senior Sister Cui introduced to Jing Jiu: "Her name is Que Niang, the third generation of disciples of the Mirror Sect, and her inheritance in the chess path is a continuation of the former Asaga. ”A round-faced girl stood in front of the pavilion, her breath was quiet, and her face was full of freckles, which added a bit of agility and cuteness.She smiled at Jing Jiu and Zhao Layue and saluted, "I've seen two uncles. ”The relationship between Jingzong and Qingzongshan was good, and Jing Jiu and Zhao Layue nodded in greeting.The four of them continued to walk forward, and there was a scholar standing in front of the pavilion in front of them.The scholar was dressed in an old robe and washed to white, holding a book in his hand, and he didn't know whether it was a scripture or a chess game, and he was shaking his head and reading it silently.Senior Sister Cui lowered her voice and said: "Yimaozhai disciple is still in the old building, and the level of chess is extremely high, and last time Mei Hui lost to Tong Yan's third son. ”Listening to the footsteps, the scholar raised his head and said, "I have chosen this pavilion, you go somewhere else." ”This is very blunt, if it weren't for his somewhat wooden expression, I'm afraid it would be even more irritating.Cersei said unhappily: "Why?
We can challenge you too!
”The scholar glanced at Jing Jiu and said, "If you want to lose back to Qingshan earlier, it's up to you." ”"Not bad."
A flirtatious voice came from not far ahead.There is a big tree there, and there is a pavilion in front of the tree, and the sun is difficult to reach, and it is very quiet.A childish young man stood in front of the pavilion, looked at Jing Jiu and said with a sneer: "I heard that you are going to challenge Tong Yan, we have specially found your chess game in the past two days to see it, it is really ugly, if you want to live more time today, don't stay here, the farther away from us, the better, otherwise you will die more ugly than your chess." ”()
