At this time, Xie Shu was slightly surprised when he heard the old man say that this was a game between him and his friend, but in his opinion, this other party was indeed not like most old people in this era, who gave him a kind of divine light and inner beauty. Feel.

Therefore, there was no hesitation on Xie Shu's face.

His gaze was still on the chess game, and after a while, Xie Shu's pupils focused on one point, and then he said: "Thank you for not giving up, the junior will give it a try."

Hearing this, Jiang Hong let go of his thoughts for the time being, narrowed his eyes, and stared.

At this time, Xie Shu had already held a white piece, and slowly dropped his fingertips towards one place: "Old man, look, you can just move this white piece here."

Jiang Hong frowned slightly, a little puzzled. It is very important to know that there are several rules in Go, such as pressing the strong and not pressing the weak. Attack the other weak side.And when the chess game turns to the prologue, one should be on guard against the opponent's grabbing the position of the mid-belly dragon, because both sides move towards the mid-belly, and the sooner the better, the better.

But Xie Shu's move was neither to break through from the top, nor to resist the sunspot's attack on the dragon, but to continue down.

Wouldn't this be disregarding the general situation?

However, at the moment when Xie Shu dropped the ball, Jiang Hong's already old eyes shone brightly, and he said a few good words again and again, but he never thought that the bottom would be so wonderful. "!"

In offense and defense, when Heizi occupies a few more lanes in the middle abdomen according to the conventional method, the opponent is equally empty. Therefore, it is not that he has no room for maneuver, but is limited everywhere.But Xie Shu actually found a place where the point and angle change, not only just connected to the bottom, but also took into account the big dragon in the center, this is a piece of chess!

Jiang Hong couldn't help sighing: "This chess is wonderful! If it weren't for my little friend, my white chess would have been trapped here, but I don't know if my little friend can tell me why I thought of making this move?"

Hearing this, Xie Shu smiled slightly and said: "The younger generation is just playing the finishing touch. In fact, the key lies in the old man's previous foreshadowing. You laid down the white pieces in the corner two or three times one after another. Seeing that the black pieces couldn't work, they attacked the middle abdomen, but the lone piece was gone. On Rooting Day, even if Heizi Dalong is in sight, Baizi has the power to fight back, so this junior thought of the word 'neutralization'."

"neutralize?"

Jiang Hong suddenly understood that the unexpression of joy, anger, sorrow and joy is the medium, and the medium is peaceful. This is why Xie Shu can look down so calmly in such a situation.

At this moment, Jiang Hong's mind was full of thoughts, recalling all kinds of things in Beijing. If he had also adhered to the way of neutralization at that time, he might not have come to this point.

But for Jiang Hong, he didn't understand the truth, but how to implement it, but Jiang Hong quickly dismissed his distracting thoughts. The other party's words just now made him feel very good now, and he looked at Xie Shu even more. I appreciate it.

Of course, this is not enough for Jiang Hong to directly accept him as an apprentice. Besides, how can he be the first to propose the apprenticeship?

Jiang Hong stared at Xie Shu and said slowly: "My little friend's exquisite chess skills are admirable. Yesterday, my little friend gave me a house, and today I have a little gift of chess, but I don't know your name yet."

When Xie Shu heard this, he realized in his heart that the old man was a good friend of the abbot of Qixia Temple, who was one step ahead of him and Mr. Lang yesterday, that's why he lost a house.

Seeing that the old gentleman spoke so politely, Xie Shu replied without hesitation: "My surname is Xie Shu, and the old gentleman can call me Xie Shu."

Jiang Hong said with a smile: "I think you are young and weak, haven't you taken the word yet?"

This is the first time Xie Shu was asked this question. In ancient times, there was a saying that a man with twenty crowns had a character, and only the elders could get the character. The original body naturally had no characters.

Xie Shu looked at Jiang Hong's wise and clear eyes, as if he had insight into something, Xie Shu said with a natural attitude: "The younger generation won the crown not long ago, and the parents have passed away. If the younger generation is studying at home tonight, there are no mentors and friends, so there is no word yet. "

Speaking of this, Xie Shu was actually a little helpless.

Before, Xie Shu also told the prefect Wan Linming that he was studying at home. At that time, Wan Linming's reaction was the same as that of most people, who thought that he had underestimated the academy, so Xie Shu inevitably had to explain something.

But the old man said with a reasonable face: "So that's the case, but your Jinling school is indeed a bit inferior, and you are suspected of misleading your children. Of course, the same is true for most of the schools. Although the scriptures and scriptures are based on the Four Books and Five Classics, they are the last branches. Therefore, even if the people in the state capital can get fame in the local rural examination, they will not escape the fame when they enter Beijing and enter the general examination.

Today's scientific examination strategy is no longer the same as in the past, "only seek the text, not the reason", "only discuss the chapters and sentences, not govern the way", only knowing the past and present, and understanding the chaos, is what the country needs. Dongliang, don't you hear the sage's words, the four-character truth that is used in the world?Only by studying the foundation of politics and religion can we reach the source of ritual and music..."

Where did Xie Shu expect to hear such penetrating words from the old man?The other party seemed to be very familiar with the way of imperial examinations and the current affairs of the dynasty. What shocked Xie Shu even more was that when the other party mentioned the word "Holy One" in his words, he still had a calm demeanor.

We must know that the ancients were in awe of the imperial power, but this old man is different. This shows that he either has a lot of poetry and books and has far-sightedness, or he once lived in a high position and has an extraordinary realm.

But it's also possible to have both.

With a respectful expression on his face, Xie Shu said politely, "Mr.'s elegant words are like enlightening my ears. Please enlighten me."

Seeing Xie Shu like this, Jiang Hong couldn't help showing a bit of satisfaction in his eyes, but Jiang Hong didn't speak directly, he pondered for a moment and said: "I don't dare to teach you, I only know a little bit, I can explain your doubts. "

At this time, Jiang Hong changed the subject again: "However, I still have an appointment with my friend today, how about this, we will meet here tomorrow on Pingdan, do you have time?"

Pingdan time?

Xie Shu's ordinary time refers to the time when the sky is just dawn, that is, Yin time, 3-5 in the morning, this time is too early for Xie Shu.

However, Xie Shu didn't ask anything, just gave another salute and said: "The younger generation will remember the words of the master."

Jiang Hong waved his hand casually, and waited for Xie Shu's back to disappear before looking at the chessboard again with a smile on his face.

When Xie Shu came down from the mountain, it was already daylight, so he went back the same way he had just come.

When he came down, he happened to meet an old monk wearing a red cassock. Most of the monks here were dressed in khaki robes, but he was dressed differently. Xie Shu guessed that he was Xuanzhen, the abbot of Qixia Temple.

Seeing him showing a smile, Xuan Zhen clasped his palms together and said, "Thank you benefactor, did you come down from this cliff just now?"

Seeing Xie Shu nodded, Xuanzhen asked again: "Then have you ever seen an old man on it?"

Xie Shu knew why he asked this question, so he had no choice but to say: "You are talking about an old gentleman? He is studying the chessboard, and the younger generation dare not disturb him."

Xuanzhen got the answer, so he didn't say any more, just let it go, and secretly laughed in his heart, how come Jiang Hong hasn't improved much in chess in the past 20 years, and his ability to play tricks is too great, yesterday he just made an excuse that it was late, but this morning it really is Let's play chess secretly here.

I don't know what way to break the situation this night!

Xie Shu didn't go to other places in Qixia Temple, and went directly back to the previous meditation room.

The few maids in the courtyard were gone, and the entire courtyard was extremely quiet, even the chirping of birds in the morning was gone.

Xie Shu guessed that Mr. Lang wanted to rest alone, so he dismissed them, and he gently pushed open the closed door.

The door creaked slightly and was covered by the rustling of clothes. Xie Shu closed the door and went to the inner room. He happened to see the man sitting half-sitting under the plain curtain. Lace up.

His trousers were rolled up very high, his snow-white calves were exposed, and he rubbed the medicine bit by bit with a wrinkled face.

He felt someone coming, and immediately raised his head, and the crow's sideburns slid down his shoulders.

His eyes were wet, and the red mole at the corner of his eye was so charming.

Xie Shu remained silent for a long while.
