The start of the Shuangyuan Fighting Skills Challenge promptly dilutes people's attention to the "Chengfu" hanging plaque.

After the previous rounds, the talents and combat strength of the contestants were fully revealed. The ranking announced by the academy was widely recognized, and only a few people would challenge it.

No one challenged Lin Duzhi, so his duel with Yuan Xiasuo was scheduled to be the finale of the literary test.

After the five competitions of painting, anti-poetry, essay writing, and math problems, the rankings of Nanyuan students did not fluctuate greatly, and they kept six of the top ten. They just waited for the icing on the cake and won the championship in one fell swoop.

In that case, Nan Yuan's essay test this year will surpass his performance in the past ten years, and it can be considered a complete success.

During the literary examination, Xu Ran practiced swordsmanship and Lin Duzhi played chess records.Gu Xuejiang continued to predict the outcome, bet to earn money, and began to write the second volume of "Gossip about Nanyang".Although he had a hot potato-like invitation card in his arms, he was still a idler with a pipe, letting the grand banquet draw closer.

Cheng Qianren went to the library to read the Jiange Sword Manual.The old deacon saw that his face had changed, and he dared not take a nap every day, for fear that this man would cause some trouble again.

Wood, stone, painted paint, rockery, flowers and trees were continuously transported into Cheng's mansion, and Cheng Qianren would take a look at the progress in the evening.Just in time for the workers to leave work, if there is any problem, you can explain it to the foreman in time.It was also in time for the opening of the flower building, and many nobles in brocade clothes haunted Wensi Street. When they met him, they dismounted from their horses and sedan chairs, and greeted him like an old friend.

The repair process went smoothly and unbelievably smoothly. It seems that when your status changes, many things become easier, and resources are quietly tilted, giving people the illusion that the whole world makes way for you.

A desperado who picks up corpses, a conscientious accountant, and a cautious Nanshan student.

Nanyuan's first genius, under the age of 20 in the state of concentration, the upstart of Nanyang with the theme plaque of the princess.

Gu Xuejiang was worried at first, but it turned out that he was worried too much.Cheng Qianren adapted very well, as if he had an innate talent. No matter where he stood, he was always awake and clearly knew what he was doing and what he was going to do.

When Cheng's pavilion first took shape, the literary test ushered in the final battle.

Lin Duzhi had already memorized all the chess records of Yuan Xiasuo that were circulated in the market, but he did not dare to underestimate the enemy.

"He calculates chess based on Taoist yin and yang divination techniques, and I rely on Buddhist supernatural powers such as 'Sky Eyes' and 'He Xintong'. I don't know who is better."

Gu Xuejiang probably wanted to rub him, but Lin Lu nimbly avoided it: "So don't gamble anymore, it will put pressure on me!" What if I lose?

Gu Er agreed with all his mouth, and rubbed him quickly while he was not prepared.

Cheng Qianren patted Lin Lu on the shoulder: "Just give it a go, and leave the rest to fate."

Cheng Qianren thought of the world before time travel. Humans have created Go artificial intelligence, endowed it with the optimal algorithm, and will continue to learn and evolve during training.

But the duel of chess masters in this world is obviously far beyond his inherent cognition, and has become some kind of competition between divine sense and method.

Xu Ran's knowledge in this aspect is not as good as his, and he doesn't know the basic rules at all, so he is trying to listen to Lin Lu's explanation.

They were walking in a lush bamboo forest at this time, the stone path was winding and secluded, and the green bamboos on both sides were connected to the sky.The surrounding fields are extremely quiet, only the wind blowing bamboo leaves and the chirping of insects and birds, everyone can't help but lower their voices when they speak.

Playing chess requires peace of mind on both sides, and it is not suitable for a large audience in the Qinxue Hall, so the academy is arranged in the "Zhuli Pavilion".It used to be a small building where Chunbotai students played the piano. Now martial law has been imposed outside the bamboo forest, and the inspection team is strictly guarding it. The audience can only wait outside the cordon for news.

20 people from each of the northern and southern courts can enter the forest to watch the battle.The Nanyuan Four Idiots are now considered celebrities, so of course they occupy four places.

Walking around the forest and wearing bamboo, I suddenly saw a figure shaking not far away, a few words "there is no absoluteness, yin and yang are opposite", "the game is the constitutional rule, the chess method is yin and yang, the way is the longitude and latitude, and the square is wrongly arranged".

Gu Xuejiang: "It's really early."

Lin Lu explained to Xu Ran: "This is what their Yin-Yang school of Taoism said. It believes that there are four things in a chess game, yin, yang, emptiness, and nothing. Black pieces are yin, white pieces are yang, points that can be placed are 'empty', and points that cannot be placed are 'empty'. The point of falling is 'nothing', emptiness and yin and yang are two pairs of contradictions on the chessboard, and there are thousands of changes in it..."

Xu Ran bit the bullet and pondered: "I still...don't quite understand. Play hard, and win the one with the surname Yuan."

"When the chessboard has not yet fallen, yin and yang do not exist, but emptiness and nothingness already exist. Therefore, they believe that emptiness and nothingness are absolute, while yin and yang are relative..."

Lin Lu knew that she didn't understand, so he just kept explaining to relieve his tension, and didn't realize that he was speaking Penglai dialect.

While speaking, the stone path came to the end, and the vision suddenly widened. Three or four bamboo buildings were located in the forest, and four or five deacons stepped forward to lead the way.

Students in Beilan uniforms gathered outside the dormitory and chatted softly.Most of them were born in Shiqu Pavilion, and they are experts in chess theory.Seeing Cheng Qianren and others appear, they all stopped talking, and the scene was silent for a moment.

Yuan Shangqiu was imprisoned for fighting in groups, and Fu Keji didn't like to join in the fun.Yuan Xiasuo and Qiu Bei came together, and the two parties met Li, but didn't say much.

Lin Duzhi was usually indifferent to outsiders, he just nodded to his friends, and under the watchful eyes of a group of students, he walked into the bamboo house with Yuan Xiasuo.

The interior of the house is simply furnished, with finely woven bamboo mats on the floor, making it even colder in late autumn. The green smoke from the incense burner mixed with the scent of bamboo leaves is reassuring.

There is no wall on one side of the room, and it is transparent to the outside world. There is a one-way sound insulation array, so the conversations between the people in the room can be transmitted, but the noise from the outside world cannot be heard. It is open and prevents the players from being disturbed.

The two sat on their knees facing each other, separated by a low table, and saluted again.A few chessboards and two baskets of clouds are said to be in the private collection of the vice president, Mr. Hu.

Teachers, there is a seat in the building, and all the students stand outside the building, consciously keeping a respectful distance, and it is enough to see the moves on the chessboard clearly.

Gu Er found a protruding rock with a higher terrain, sat down on the ground, lit his pipe, and said, "This game lasts for two or three hours, and the game can't be finished."

Xu Ran sat down politely: "Anyway, I don't understand, so I'll just look at the deer."

Cheng Qianren came here out of curiosity.Holding the sword in both arms, he leaned on Xiuzhu.

The ruling reaffirmed the rules and stepped aside.The bell rang, and the birds in the forest flew away.

The hour has come.

No need to guess first, Yuan Xiasuo, as the challenger, goes first with black.

The sound of falling is crisp, accompanied by the gurgling sound of the rockery and flowing water landscape in the house.The autumn wind blows through the forest, the mist drifts, and everything looks peaceful and quiet.

Yuan Xiasuo even started gossiping with Lin Duzhi.

"I'm from Qingzhou. I forgot to ask earlier, where is Brother Lin from?"

"overseas."

"Is it very far? I have also traveled to the sea by boat, and traveled all over the Luofu Islands, and the farthest I have been to is Yingzhou..."

Lin Duzhi: "It's farther than Yingzhou."

The onlookers were influenced by them, talking and laughing in a relaxed mood.

"A master's move, the beginning is no different from ours, it's all about taking corners and taking sides..."

"It's the first time I've seen Nanshan playing chess at the top of the list. His field of expertise seems to be medicine."

Xu Ran: "That's it? The next three hours?"

Gu Xuejiang said: "Lin Lu has no chess records handed down to the world, and Yuan Xiasuo has no way of finding out his chess moves, so start cautiously and wait."

Cheng Qianren released his consciousness to feel the changes in the aura inside and outside the bamboo building.

The two sides' respective layouts are gaining momentum, black and white are intertwined, and undercurrents are surging.

At some point, Yuan Xiasuo stopped talking.The sound of falling chess became more and more rapid and clear, like a rainstorm beating on a tile eaves.

Many spectators tried to substitute themselves into one side of the game, inside and outside the building, and fell into complex calculations together.

Xu Ran heard someone exclaim and bumped into Gu Er: "What happened?"

Gu Er: "The corners are finalized, the middle game is melee, Yuan Xiasuo takes the lead in 'opening robbery'. It's okay, Lin Lujie is rich in talents, so I'm not afraid of him."

Cheng Qianren stared at the chessboard, and saw black and white dragons strangling each other, one ebbing and the other ebbing.For a while, the sunspots are continuous, like nightfall, and for a while, the white spots are like cranes, killing a way out of the net.

Although he was born in the Department of Mathematical Classics, and heard Mr. Hu mention a few words about "Deduction Technique" in the library, he knew that he was far from being able to complete calculations of this level, so he concentrated on using his spiritual sense to perceive the aura.

The two of Yuan Lin kowtowed alternately, their expressions as calm as before.Outside the building, there were already students bending over with the help of bamboo, dripping with cold sweat.

"Annoyance in the chest, dizziness, blurred black and white on the chessboard."

Seven or eight people fell down one after another, and several deacons stepped forward to persuade them: "The computing power is insufficient, and we should wait and see the chess board. Don't force it, or it will hurt your nerves."

Xu Ran: "What's going on here?"

Cheng Qianren frowned slightly: "Use your true energy to protect your body first."

As far as the consciousness could see, the spiritual energy in the bamboo forest that was originally as clear as rain gradually became violent and manic, gathering from all directions and rushing towards Yuan Xiasuo at a high speed.That person's face was still gentle, but a vortex formed behind him, like a bloody mouth, waiting for an opportunity to choose someone to devour.

The five-needle pine potted plant closest to him suddenly lost its vitality and withered and withered.

Lin Duzhi's son was neither ill nor slow, and the breath in his body was like spring wind turning into rain.

The chess situation changes and the stalemate remains.

As the temperature in the bamboo house became colder, there was a soft sound, cracks appeared in the rockery, and the sound of water flow stopped abruptly.

The collision of such a large burst of spiritual energy has already alarmed the practitioners present, and ordinary people feel that the air is thin and stones are pressed against their chests.

Mr. Xi left the meeting and went out of the building under the escort of the deacon. Some people came forward to ask for instructions. The latter said that when they played chess, they used supernatural powers, and their spiritual energy overflowed, which was not considered a violation.

Cheng Qianren's long sword was turned upside down, the tip of the sword sank into the ground with a muffled sound, and the barrier rose from the ground, covering Xu Ran Gu'er.Everyone behind them also felt much better.

Xu Ran: "It's just overflow? It's so uncomfortable for us to watch chess. How much pressure does Lin Lu bear when playing chess?"

Cheng Qianren: "Looking at the board and the aura, he still has at least three points left."

Yuan Xiasuo gave the ruling a gesture and began the long exam.

According to the rules, he has two quarters of an hour.

When the leaks were gradually exhausted, a voice sounded in Lin Du's sea of ​​consciousness.

"Baohua Temple on Penglai Xiandao. Why do outsiders come to dabble in the world of mortals?"

It is the opponent's sound transmission technique.

Lin Duzhi didn't answer.

He didn't try to hide his secrets, and it was expected that he could see the clues.

Yuan Xiasuo asked the question, the answer was not important, it was just to convey a meaning: I already know your origin, and I am not afraid of you.

The ruling said: "The long exam is over."

Yuan Xiasuo raised his hand, and Heizi was about to be placed in the market.

"Wait a minute—" Deacon Nanyuan hurried downstairs, "Mr. Hu has something to say, this is a four-kalpa cycle game, and I ask you two, is it a draw?"

Everyone was shocked, and there was an uproar outside the building.

If you look closely, the chain of kalpas, single-chip kalpas, worry-free kalpas, and life-and-death kalpas are really four kalpas in a cycle.

Four kalpas appear on the chessboard at the same time, which is rare in ancient and modern times.

The husband obviously thinks that it is useless to play any more, and he should draw.

Someone asked: "The vice president is here?!"

The deacon pointed to the second floor and waved his hand again, indicating that there is no need to salute.

Cheng Qianren followed him to look, thinking that Mr. Hu was overlooking the whole situation from above.I don't know what kind of mentality I have, watching the juniors play chess.

Lin Duzhi was noncommittal.

Everyone waits for the original Xiasuo attitude.

If there is a draw, the opponent's challenge is not counted as a success, and the top spot in the fight between the two courts will not change, and the goal of this battle has been achieved.

Yuan Xiasuo has always been rational, but now he chuckled and said, "No."

Since you meet your opponent in chess, you can't decide whether to win or lose, and you must regret it for the rest of your life!

Beilan students applauded in a low voice.

"Now the black board has at least a five-eye advantage!"

"If you see blood when you come out of the sheath, you will never draw!"

The deacon went upstairs again and brought back Vice President Hu's opinion.

"The two of you are limited to closing the disk within half an hour."

Lin Duzhi nodded.The sound of falling sons reappeared.

The two of them stretched out their skillful hands, not giving an inch.

The students retreated farther away to prevent being affected by the raging aura.

Gu Xuejiang sighed: "Now even if there is a landslide, tsunami, thunder and fire, they will not stop."

This game of chess was too long, Xu Ran was so hungry that his chest was pressed against his back, and he was afraid that Lin Lu might make a mistake, so he focused his attention on it.

The coldness around the bamboo house is gradually deepening, as if facing severe winter.

Cheng Qianren guessed that Yuan Xiasuo used some method of borrowing the aura of heaven and earth in order to improve his computing power in a short period of time and break through the peak state.

Looking at that terrifying vortex, I'm afraid that if I draw my sword at this moment, and slash him with the move of 'Yun Lian Tian Mo', I will be backlashed by the violent aura around him.

Lin Duzhi was in the center of the storm and remained motionless.

The shadow of the sun moves westward.Yuan Xiasuo frowned, Lin Duzhi gave up his calamity and retreated to advance, which caught him off guard.

He was about to fetch a son when his arm stiffened suddenly.

The chess basket is empty.

Looking up, he saw his opponent's expression was normal, neither sad nor happy.

Yuan Xiasuo's face turned pale, he jumped out of the square inch, and looked at the whole situation, the more he watched, the more frightened he became.

There was 360 points on the board, but the grapes repeated, and the chess went 360 nine moves.

When the water subsides and the rocks emerge, see the picture with a poor dagger.

All tricks have been exhausted, and all calculations have come to an end.

He stared at the chessboard for a long time and sighed deeply.Pick up clothes and get up.

Everyone outside the building was sitting or standing, seeing his movements, they couldn't help standing up straight.

Xu Ran regained his energy: "Why is he standing up? He doesn't want to hunt deer, does he?"

Gu Xuejiang: "It's over."

Verdict: "Dim—"

"No need to click, I lost."

Yuan Xiasuo passed by Lin Duzhi before going out, and his footsteps were a bit late: "The calculation of a man is not as good as that of a Buddha. I have learned the lesson."

Everyone was immersed in his sentence of "Buddha's calculation", and couldn't return to their senses for a long time.

Cheng Qianren and the others had already rushed into the building, and saw the man sitting quietly in front of the desk, and the five-needle pine potted plant in the corner came back to life at some point, and the greenery was verdant.

Under the radiance of the setting sun, half of him is in shadow, half in golden body, his eyes are benevolent, and his face is solemn.

It was very strange.

Gu Xuejiang moved closer and called softly: "Duzhi?"

Lin Lu turned his head slowly, "Help me up, I have a headache."
