Chapter 19 Demon Sword Muramasa
"The old man is here to teach a game!" An old but loud voice suddenly sounded from a high place, and the tone 'Zhongzheng Renhe' contained a hint of domineering.
It turned out that the fierce game between Xiao Yi and Tian Feng just now not only attracted the attention of everyone in the hall to watch, but even many spectators walked out of the private rooms on each floor, and it was an old man in the private room on the third floor who spoke.
I saw that the old man was about sixty years old, with a resolute face, gray hair, thick eyebrows and a wide mouth, a straight nose, and a burst of worry in his bright eyes; The black Xuanniao robe on his body is spotless, two long sleeves fluttering like colorful butterflies, a jade belt is tied around his waist, and a long beard is sprinkled on his chest.
The noise in the hall immediately stopped, and everyone stared at each other, and the children of the family who were dressed in gorgeous costumes all bowed down at this moment, and their attitudes were extremely humble, obviously they had recognized the true identity of this old man.
"The young man is a good means, the old man's surname is Wang, and his home is in Luoyang City, please ask for a game!" The old man stepped onto the chess arena and said loudly, although the words were very polite, but the momentum of the superior raised in the court was extremely compelling, and the spectators under the altar were all suppressed by this aura and bowed their heads one after another, not daring to look up.
"Old man, please!" Under the pressure of the external environment, the killing and punishing aura on Xiao Yi's body was also stimulated, his waist was straight, and a pair of black and white eyes looked at the old man neither humbly nor arrogantly.
His eyes were as sharp as a sword, and although his voice was not high, he had the voice of Jin Ge Iron Horse, and after feeling the iron-blooded aura on Xiao Yi's body, the old man couldn't help but be slightly stunned, and glanced at it with admiration, "In recent years, there have been very few young people who can stand so steadily in front of him, except for those ...... in the palace."
"The game just now, the old man watched it, it can be called a dragon fight, the young man is really a good means, I don't know where the teacher is?" After sitting down, the old man was not in a hurry to start, but inquired about Xiao Yi's teacher.
"The kid came from a humble background, learned in the deep mountains and wilderness, and didn't dare to touch the elders!" Xiao Yi replied very modestly, as the so-called people are afraid of being famous, pigs are afraid of being strong! Luoyang is now an eventful time, and it is better to be low-key.
In this game, Xiao Yi held black, the old man held white, and the result of guessing was that black went first.
As soon as he got started, Xiao Yat immediately felt the unusual style of the old man's chess; In the majesty but in the middle of the peace, it can be said that it is a hidden needle in the cotton, which makes people unguardable, and is very good at using the momentum, and the position of the drop is very high, obviously the old man must have carefully watched Xiao Yi's chess style just now, and the countermeasures are very in place, at this time the white chess is like the cloud dragon above the nine heavens, majestic, high above; If Xiao Yi still uses the routine of the alpine avalanche, he will definitely lose, just ask, how can the highest mountain peak be higher than the cloud dragon in the sky?
Seeing that the old man's white chess was like a fairy, he soon occupied a large position in the middle of the abdomen, and the situation was very good, not only the low people were praised, but Xiao Yi was also attacked and frequently touched his chin, "It's really a traitor, the horse is slippery, and the chess player is older than a rabbit!" "If you want to face yourself and be the opponent of the old man, the only way to do this is to go off the rails...... since the other party is a cloud dragon, then what Xiao Yi needs at this time is a treasure knife that slashes the sky and slays the dragon, but unfortunately the 'dragon slaying knife' is still not born in Jin Yongda's novels in later generations, Xiao Yi does not have it in his hand, but there is a 'demon knife'.
"Muramasa Demon Knife" --- a famous killing move in the game of Go in later generations; "Take the big oblique style, and the small eyes are two high clamps outside", because the tricks are complex, the power is amazing, and it is difficult to control, often do not hurt others, first hurt themselves, so it is called the demon knife. This move was once admired and studied by countless masters in the Go world, and as a hardcore Go enthusiast, Xiao Yi naturally studied it carefully, and was finally taken out as a killer feature at this time.
As soon as the 'demon knife' came out, it was really powerful, and the situation on the chess game changed suddenly in an instant, and the white chess, which was originally like the Nine Heavens Cloud Dragon, was defeated and retreated by the 'Murazheng Demon Knife' in Xiao Yi's hand, and the middle abdomen was quickly lost, and the white chess retreated to a corner, while the black chess was pressing step by step, and there was a great tendency to slay the dragon in one fell swoop.
The old man holding the white chess immediately changed his face, and he could no longer see the original calm and calm look, "He is not afraid of losing chess; But you can slay the dragon, you can't! ”
It is no wonder that the old man was so out of shape for a while, you must know that in the hearts of the ancients, Go is not just an ordinary entertainment activity, but has been raised to the level of fate, such as Shi Zai, Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty likes to play Go very much, when he was still the prince, once played against the prince of Wu, seeing that a game of chess will undoubtedly be lost, Emperor Jing of Han was angry from the heart, evil to the side of the guts, and actually manipulated the iron chessboard, smashed on the head of the prince of Wu, smashed the opponent's brain, and killed him on the spot. Because at this time, in the eyes of Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty, what the two are fighting for is no longer the victory or defeat of a game of chess, but the ownership of the entire country.
Similarly, in the heart of the old man at this time, this is not a simple game of chess, but is linked to the fate of the country, the dragon, the fortune of the country, and with his status and authority in the court, he is indeed a figure who can decide the future of the country's fortune, so he never dares to ask someone to slaughter the 'big dragon' in his hands, and slaying the dragon is almost equivalent to destroying the country!
"Could it be that the national fortune of my Han is going to be like this white dragon, being killed by someone with a knife?" The old man's face was gray, the green tendons on his neck collapsed, and the sweat kept ticking down his ears and temples, pouring it on the ground, and even pouring it on the chessboard, and even the fingers pinching the chess pieces trembled slightly, "At this time, the other party's sunspot seems to be like an extremely sharp peerless demon knife, every time he swings, he will cut off a large piece of flesh and blood from his white dragon, and the mournful sound of the cloud dragon resounded for the nine heavens......"
At this time, not only the old man looked nervous, but all the spectators in the Tianji Building also pinched a cold sweat, fatalism is very marketable in this era, and now the country is declining, social turmoil, many people will inevitably speculate to the national fortune, but the situation has been irreversible, seeing that there are a few more moves, black chess will definitely kill the dragon; Unless......
looked at the form of the chess game, and then looked at the gray face of the old man opposite, Xiao Yi also roughly guessed what this game of chess meant in the other party's heart.
What's more, if you slaughter this dragon, you will be infamous through the ages, Xiao Yi doesn't want people to cast an iron statue for him a thousand years later, kneeling in the park, and being lined up every day to spit on; And there is a price list on the side:
Spit a dollar!
Spit thick phlegm for five yuan!
Still garbage ten dollars!
Still pooping ......,
Thinking of such a terrible consequence, Xiao Yi hurriedly shook his head, yes, then grabbed a handful of sunspots and threw them on the chessboard, took the initiative to admit defeat, got up and arched his hand: "The old gentleman is brave and loyal, the kid admires!" ”
At this time, the old man woke up from the boundless fright, let out a sigh, wiped the cold sweat on his forehead, also stood up, and respectfully replied: "Xiao Lang Gaoyi, the old man has thanked you!" ”
Seeing the old man so respectfully return the salute, there was an uproar in the audience, I didn't expect this young man in black to get such courtesy; Anyone who knows the old man knows that in the whole world, there are probably less than a palm of his hand to make him salute so respectfully.
But thinking that this black-clothed young man can give up the huge prize money at his fingertips, and the reputation of the holy hand of the chess country, this courage alone can't help but make people admire, and for a while the hall was thunderous, 'Through changes, know how to advance and retreat, it is difficult to move his heart!' Xiao Yat's move won their support from the bottom of his heart.
Although he failed to win this game of chess, the name of 'Xiao Lang' quickly spread in the circle of magnates and scholars in Luoyang, although he was defeated!
"Little friend, please follow me to the private room upstairs for a while!" The old man who had completely recovered began to show a strong appreciation for Xiao Yi, such an excellent young man is indeed worthy of his personal wooing, you know, if you can take this peerless demon knife of 'slaying the sky and slaying the dragon' for your own use, it will definitely be a blessing in the world! The court is very fortunate!
"The kid still has a few friends sitting below", Xiao Yi pointed to a table in the corner of the hall, as Xiao Yi showed his strength in the chess world, the big bull and Ma Liu in the audience were also extremely glorious, from time to time people came to give them all kinds of gifts at the same time, to ask them all the news about Xiao Yi, even Jiang Gan who was sitting on the side was also proud at this time, after all, he was also a meritorious guide!
"It's okay, since you are Xiao Lang's friend, please go upstairs and drink together!" The old man said very generously; As the saying goes, 'Those who are neighbors with tigers and wolves have good beasts!' In his opinion, the people who can become friends with Xiao Yat are by no means ordinary people, and they are worth making friends with him.
Hearing the old man's invitation, Jiang Gan was the first to run over, although he didn't know who the old man was, but after a long time in the Tianji Tower, he deeply understood that this was definitely a bright road to his career!
At the moment, in the countless envious eyes in the hall, Xiao Yi and the four of them followed the old man to the private room on the third floor, although the old man had the intention to win over Xiao Yi, in turn, Xiao Yi didn't want to understand through this old man, how deep is the water in Luoyang City......
