On a green hill in the school, there is a bamboo house on the mountainside, two old people sit cross-legged, in front of a chessboard black and white staggered, it is difficult to solve, chess is also called Fang Yuan, the plate is square, the chess is round, and the line on the chessboard is the rule, in ancient times, there was a chess game compared to the world only said, the superior is the national player, the middle is the chessboard, the inferior people are the chess pieces, and now this game of chess seems to have reached the end of the moment.

"Old Ghost Du, you lost again. Among them, the old man in white kept groping for the few chess pieces in the chess cup, and it was the old fairy standing under the big red door in the early morning, holding black chess in white, which really had a charm.

Du Lao was dressed in an inconspicuous solid-color robe, holding his chin with one hand, staring at the black and white chess game in front of him with wet eyes.

"If you don't go down, you know how to bully your own people, and you have the ability to go to Ling Tian Palace to find that person to play chess. ”

The old man in white twisted his long beard and laughed, his beard was white but he didn't show his old intentions, he deliberately didn't answer the other party's words, tapped the chessboard and said: "You lost three games to me, let's talk about it, then don't worry about Mo Xiuyuan." ”

"Hmph, Old Man Zhao, I don't care what tricks you want to play with Ling Tiangong, I, Du Changhe, am already a person who has one foot in the soil, there is nothing to be afraid of, I finally found a malleable talent, you want to break my mind in three games of chess, dreaming. Du Changhe stood up, his face flushed, and he didn't give the master of the academy any face.

The old man in white disapplauded, put a chess piece on the chessboard into the chess cup, and said softly: "They are all old people, what are they shouting, so that those juniors can hear what kind of system they have become." ”

"Physique, I don't even want my face, you and I mention the physiognomy of the body. Du Changhe grabbed the five chess pieces on the chessboard and threw them on the ground in a vent, and almost at the same time, the five lotus leaves on the clear pond sank into the water silently.

"If you do that, those kids won't last long. The old man in white frowned, and casually filled in two more pieces on the chessboard.

Du Changhe was unforgiving, and with a wave of his hand, there were ten less pieces on the chessboard, "I care about you so much, if you dare to rob my apprentice, I will let you not receive anyone this year." ”

The two old men who were the same age as the whole school were competing against a game of chess in that simple bamboo house, one withdrawing the chess and the other making up the chess, which seemed to be relaxed and casual, but it hurt Su Qian, who was unknown for hundreds of miles.

"Again. A candidate jumped up in surprise, only to see that the lotus leaves under his feet quickly submerged into the water, and even with more than ten lotus leaves on the side, there was no trace of them, and at the moment when the body fell, the toes suddenly tapped the water surface, and a swallow copied the water and floated in the air again, but there was no place to settle around, and he saw that he was about to fall into the water, and a lotus leaf suddenly appeared in the vacancy, which was spared.

It's a pity that the people next to him don't have such luck as him, the lotus leaves disappear weirdly, there is no order at all, like a big hand of nothingness all according to the mood to harvest in the field, before he can react, there is a large vacant area under his body, even if he can rely on the body to borrow two or three on the water surface, but it seems that God is against him, every time he is about to settle down, it is to sink into the water together with the surrounding lotus leaves, even if this level is to test the body method, but even if it is a reed rumored in Buddhism to cross the river, there is still a foothold after all, compared to splashing a big splash at this moment。

Su Wen tensed his nerves, and looked around stupidly, thirty or forty lotus leaves were missing in just half a breath, although there were also lotus leaves regenerated under the man's feet, but it was like pouring water into a leaky teapot to make ends meet, and sooner or later there would be a time when the leakage would be exhausted.

The splash of water, there are one and there are two, there are three, the splash of water falls on the lotus leaves, if it is said that the mushrooms after the rain are one after another long, then these lotus leaves are just upside down, even three or five after three or five Shen, Dao is different wide-eyed, muttering in his mouth: "Du Lao Ghost is crazy, how can he be more ruthless than me, at this speed, let alone two hours, there will be no one in half an hour." ”

In less than a quarter of an hour, the black and white lotus leaves that were still full of Qing Pond were already missing half of the country, and almost sixty people fell into the water and were eliminated, but instead of abating, such a crazy momentum did not decrease, but instead of sinking ten lotus leaves at a time before, it became fifteen, and if you were not careful, you might become a lonely boat.

Just when the lotus leaves plummeted to only one hundred and seventy left, the water surface suddenly calmed down, and after fifty breaths, one lotus leaf was not missing, but three more were born, and everyone's tense spirit was finally able to breathe for a moment.

In that mountainside bamboo house, there was an extra disciple in Tsing Yi beside Du Changhe, and it was precisely because the other party whispered a few words in his ear that the old man suddenly stopped the movements in his hand, looked at the other party in a daze, and asked in surprise: "This is true." ”

The disciple in Tsing Yi pondered for a moment and said cautiously, "That's what the teacher told me. ”

The old man in white looked at his old friend's face that was still angry at this moment, and he was over half a hundred years old, but he danced and laughed like an immature child, but after a while, he suddenly looked at the disciple in Tsing Yi coldly and said sharply, "Go back and tell that lewd thief, if he dares to lie to me, I will let him see a woman for the rest of his life and not be able to lift a leg." ”

The disciple in Tsing Yi hurriedly replied, recalling that when he entered the room just now, he saw the two most respected people in the academy blowing their beards and staring at each other, and he was uneasy in his heart, and then looked at the mansion master, and always felt that there seemed to be a strong hint of malice in his gentle smile.

The old man in white smiled indifferently, and the disciple in Tsing Yi was flattered, only to hear a word in his ear, "Little guy, can you play chess?"

————

Less than eighty people on the clear pond guarded the only one hundred and thirty lotus leaves, each lotus leaf was only enough for the weight of one person, only to see a candidate squeeze on the lotus leaf where the other person was in a panic, and then the two fell into the water together, I don't know if it was luck or the weird old guy in the bamboo house did it intentionally, the corner where Su Wen was located was calm in addition to the more than ten lotus leaves that were affected at the beginning, and the location of Mo Xiuyuan was also not turbulent, and the center of the entire clear pond was like Tian Yuan on the chessboard, and more than ten figures stood scattered around, and the stars held the moon, and these more than ten people are undoubtedly the existence that is closer to that one among the remaining one hundred and forty-nine people.

"Examiner, take the liberty of asking, how many people do you plan to leave behind in this scene. A young man dressed in a military uniform with a murderous aura asked in a cold voice, his location was closest to Mo Xiuyuan, and he was also the closest to the other party.

"Thirty. Dao Wei touched the beard at the corner of his mouth, slowly stretched out three fingers, and said Sen Ran.

After hearing this, the young man nodded thoughtfully, looked at the remaining eighty people in the field and shouted: "Everyone, I think everyone has heard the examiner's words clearly, since there are only thirty people, it is better to be frightened than to be scared here." ”

"Liu Huayan, what do you mean. A woman beside her said angrily, and from her jealous gaze, she had already guessed the second half of the other party's unspoken sentence.

"Qin Yulu, everyone understands people, since there are only thirty lotus leaves in the end, I don't want to lose in bad luck, not to mention the entrance examination of the academy, it should be the capable, I just let the incompetent see the reality earlier, and I didn't want their lives. Liu Huayan smiled gloomily, but those eyes full of murderous intent were not as gentle as he said.

Although these words suddenly made the surrounding atmosphere extremely depressing, everyone had a rod and scale in their hearts, and secret actions abounded, Dao nodded approvingly, and said softly: "In the end, it is a person who came out of the battlefield, and his courage and decisiveness are not comparable to ordinary people, although he is very reluctant to admit it, he is the only one who is barely close to Mo Xiuyuan among the candidates in this year." ”

The rest of the teenagers who are also wearing military uniforms open their mouths and agree, and every year the military will recommend a group of qualified seedlings to enter the government to practice, which can demonstrate the strength of the military and cultivate a group of more literate generals in the future.

"Brother Liu is right, I don't want to be eliminated without knowing it, so I'm sorry. ”

At this moment, Qingchi is faintly separated by a line, just like the difference between the bow and stern of the ship, the position of Mo Xiuyuan and the others is naturally a more deterrent party, and the rules that come out of their mouths only need to look coldly at the more than fifty people who were forced to a corner like Su Wen to compete for the only remaining lotus leaves, this world has always been fair, some people say that someone has to do it, and the reliance on the rules and regulations of these terms and regulations is called strength.

These legalistic truths have long been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, so soon someone will make a move, a beggar may not dare to look at the delicacies of the mountains and seas on the table of the landlord with thousands of dollars, but he will definitely fight for a steamed bun and another beggar to break the blood, and afterwards it is indispensable to be grateful to Dade, bullying the soft and afraid of the hard is not the characteristic of some people, but more people will be able to hide it better, but at some point, just a little temptation, it will be eager to come out, such as a lotus leaf, such as the opportunity to soar in the future, it seems that there is no reason to refuse。

Even in the chicken coop, you can pick out a few splendidly feathers that are not inferior to birds, but obviously Su Wen is not to say that it is a chicken head, even the butt is still a few lines away.

"Do you think I'm a bully?" Su Wen pursed the corners of his slightly dry lips and said with a miserable smile, his eyes quickly scanned the surroundings, and in just a few breaths, no less than three breaths stayed on his body.

Su Wen didn't know the content of the third exam, but he thought that there were always so many coincidences that were more like human talents, and others would envy you and say that you are really lucky, and he always thought that this was called luck, the first game except for the small hands and feet of the Qinglan Buddha House, his far superior mental power of the monks of the same generation was the finishing touch, and this second game was more like picking the most familiar one from Su Wen's barren ability.
