Interstellar Miner

Chapter 347
When Mo Xuan came to the special area of ​​the Chess Academy, he saw that it was empty, there were not many people, but the stalls were still there.

Most of the stalls are lined with wooden chess pieces. The rare and expensive torreya wood chessboards on this earth are completely cheap goods on the street, and they are placed on the ground without anyone watching them.

Speaking of the torreya wood chessboard, Mo Xuan only saw the real torreya wood pier in one go exhibition match, and it smelled delicious from a long distance away. At that time, Mo Xuan wanted to reach out to touch it, but it turned out that He was severely reprimanded by the adults watching the scene.

This torreya tree, also known as Torreya torreya, is a famous tree that has matured for thousands of years. It is generally born on the top of a mountain at an altitude of 4000 to [-] meters. A good material for high-grade chess sets.When the chess pieces are cast on it, the sound is like pearls falling on a jade plate, crisp and sweet, and the chess pieces attached to the plate are as stable as Mount Tai. Its elegant and gorgeous posture is highly respected by the Go world on the earth.

The torreya trees used to make chessboards are generally more than 250 years old, and many old torreya trees are listed as cultural property and logging is prohibited.Torreya trees have been known as "jewels in the mountains" since ancient times, and their prices are worthy of the name of gems. A piece of high-quality Torreya wood costs millions, and a piece of chess pier made of it costs tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands.

Mo Xuan's mouth was flat, and he was muttering in his heart at that time, what's so great, when I grow up, I will buy one and put it at home to touch every day.

Mo Xuan remembered the cowhide he played when he was a child, he smiled, and went to Taobao Street to buy a good chess pier when he returned home.Here, not to mention the small trees of thousands of years on the hills with a height of tens of thousands of meters, there are also big treasure trees of tens of thousands of years on the peaks of hundreds of thousands of meters!Of course, the price of such chess pier is definitely not cheap, and it can even be said to be priceless.

Mo Xuan wandered around casually, and found that the chess pieces here are even more high-end.

The best chess piece on earth is Yunzi, also known as "Yunbian" or "Yunyaozi".

The texture of Yunzi is fine and smooth, the color is crystal clear and soft, firm but not brittle, sinking but not slippery.

Black and white yunzi have their own characteristics: Baizi is warm and moist like jade, soft and opaque, with a slight yellowish or emerald green color; sunspots "look like jasper when looking up, and like lacquer when looking down", dark and moist, but translucent when viewed against light. There is a kind of emerald green or royal blue luster around the pieces.

Yunzi is exquisite in workmanship, regular in size, visual experience, sound of placing on the plate, and hand feeling, who really knows who uses it.Mo Xuan had only seen it, but had never touched it, and his eyes were very greedy.

And the chess pieces here are almost all made of real agate, jadeite, diamonds, etc. on the earth. They are really durable, and they are not comparable to Yunzi and clam stones that are easy to age!
In fact, the chessboard and chess pieces are only secondary, and the real chess skills are superb!Back then, when there were no chess pieces on the chessboard, Mo Xuan used branches to draw a chessboard in the mud, and then used round stones as black stones and sharp stones as white stones, so he could play the same way, squatting all afternoon. !

Huh!A small stall in a corner caught Mo Xuan's attention. There was an endgame on a solid wooden chess pier. There were two futons. One futon was clean, while the other futon was covered with a thick layer of dust.

This is not an earth with severe air pollution. There may not be much dust on the futon after a few months. It seems that no one has sat on this futon for at least three to five years.

Mo Xuan walked over curiously and took a look, tsk tsk, this endgame is really unusual, both the black and white pieces obviously have very unusual chess skills, but from the endgame, the white piece is obviously at a disadvantage.It would be fine if Heizi's strength was mediocre, but obviously Heizi's strength is not inferior to Baizi's at all, so it's not easy to get back to the inferior position.

Mo Xuan watched it for a long time without knowing it, but didn't have a clue for a while.

At this time, the area gradually became more crowded, but the college students who had finished the round-robin competition came over to chop vegetables, gearing up for lunch.

The students are all raised by the Chess Academy with good food and drink, and at the same time provide sufficient cultivation resources, they can almost cultivate into heavenly immortals smoothly, and the treatment is quite good.

Therefore, the college students don't set bets or anything, they basically compete with others for free, and there are also some who claim to be high-level to play guided chess with others for a fee.

A chubby courtyard student sat in his booth, and saw Mo Xuan meditating on the mess on the stall with a green head, so he greeted him, "That fellow daoist, don't look, no one can solve the mess at all!" Got it."

Can't break it?Not necessarily so.Mo Xuan glanced at the courtyard student, ignored him, and continued to meditate on the endgame.

The fat courtyard student smacked his lips and said speechlessly: "Don't believe me, I have witnessed the mess for more than 500 years, and no one has ever been able to solve it and turn defeat into victory."

Mo Xuan asked in surprise, "Is it that good at setting up a stall?"

"His strength is average. I can chop him whatever I want, but he has been immersing himself in this endgame. None of our students can beat him in this endgame."

It turned out that Xiaopang was a student in the courtyard. Mo Xuan walked over curiously, and saw a 21-way torreya wooden chess pier on the stall.

"I'll let you eight sons, let's play a game." The fat courtyard student greeted, seeing you so stunned, I accidentally lost a game today, and I'm in a bad mood, so I'll let you chop the vegetables!

Let me eight children?Mo Xuan sat opposite the fat courtyard student, and said with a smile: "I don't need to give way, let's go first and last."

Hey, hey, this stuff is pretty cool, and if you want to be ranked first in class with me, the top students in the second class, then I'll be rude!The fat courtyard student smiled happily, and bowed to Mo Xuan, please.

Mo Xuan casually grabbed a handful of white stones, and the fat courtyard student picked up a black stone.

Mo Xuan put a handful of white stones on the chessboard, counted them in twos, ten pieces, an even number.The fat courtyard student then pushed the chess jar with sunspots to Mo Xuan.Mo Xuan put the white piece back into the chess jar, and pushed it to the fat courtyard student.

This is the sequence.

Mo Xuan took the black first, and the first move was the opposite Xiaojiao.

The fat courtyard student smiled slightly, he has a strong desire to attack, an eye for an eye, I'll fuck your little corner too.

Mo Xuan made another small corner.The fat courtyard students occupy the last small corner.The chess pieces are formed.

Kill!Mo Xuan kept making moves, and the fat students also responded to Mo Xuan's attack. Both sides moved very quickly, which was equivalent to playing fast chess.

After a while, we reached the middle market.The fat courtyard student frowned, feeling that his white piece was not very good, this stunned green chess player is really not weak.But it's nothing to be in the middle game, the middle and late stages are the stage when chess skills burst out, look at me!

Why?Why?Why!The sweat beads on the fat courtyard student's forehead gathered more and more densely, this...this...isn't it? !Why did the battle suddenly turn one-sided?
Hey, oh... the fat courtyard student opened his mouth wide, staring at the chess game in a daze, this... Bai Zi is completely useless to play!The fat courtyard student secretly swallowed his saliva, subconsciously wiped the sweat from his forehead with his hands, and felt the sweat on his hands, only then did he realize how far he had been forced.

"Oh, it seems that this game is not good. I accidentally lost in the round-robin match. I'm not in good shape right now. Let's try another game." The fat courtyard student said calmly.

"Okay, little fat." Mo Xuan smiled slightly.

Why did I become chubby just after playing a game of chess? Why am I also a fairy, with a good name like Si Junxian?Fat courtyard student Si Junxian pursed his lips, looking at Mo Xuan, he should be Xuan Xian, but everything in Go can be explained by chess skills, when I win the next game, I must tell him my good name!

In the second game, Si Junxian, a fat student, took the lead and tried his best, but he still lost. Oh, what happened today, why is his condition so bad!Si Junxian hit his thigh, come again!

Oh, what's the situation, why do you feel like you're losing faster than one game after another?
Mo Xuan smiled slightly. After all, he was serious about playing chess with college students, so he played more cautiously at the beginning.

After the two rounds, Mo Xuan already had a full understanding of the chess strength of Fat Yuansheng, so he hurried to make a move. The level of the previous endgame was not at the same level. In the third round, he became more frightened and won easily.

"I didn't sleep well last night, I'm very out of shape today." Si Junxian forcibly argued.

Mo Xuan groaned, and said, "Then I'll let you two take care of it."

What?How dare you belittle me so much!It is tolerable or unbearable!Si Junxian gritted his teeth, this is what you said, let the two sons, then don't blame me for being rude!

Uh... how is it possible?How did I lose again?Si Junxian couldn't figure it out, the one who allowed the two to easily beat him couldn't be an amateur chess player, at least he must have a third dan!Si Junxian looked at Mo Xuan in a daze, and asked, "Senior, you are also from our Chess Academy?"

"No, it's my first time here, and I came here specially to watch the Millennium Chess Game." Mo Xuan replied truthfully.

I go!real or fake?But if it is really a professional chess player, it is an honorable status, there is no reason not to admit it!It seems that this is a top expert in the amateur class!Si Junxian gritted his teeth secretly, since he is an amateur chess player, there is a way to deal with him!

"Let's play chess." Si Junxian suggested.

One-color chess? Mo Xuan smiled and said, "Whatever, I'll let you four."

You are too contemptuous of people!Si Junxian gritted his teeth for a while, if he can't even win the one-color chess with the four pieces, then I'm still in the Chess Academy!Hurry up and pack up your bags and get the hell out!I fight with you!
The so-called one-color chess refers to chess pieces that are all of the same color on the chessboard, such as all white and all black, so that they are all of the same color on the chessboard.

Mo Xuan used to play blindfolded chess with Gao Shan and the others in the early days, how could it be difficult for a small one-color chess to beat Mo Xuan.

With blue veins popping out of Si Junxian's forehead, he fought bloody battles with Mo Xuan, taking advantage of his fourth son's advantage to continuously attack and seize the territory.

In the middle of the game, Si Junxian still had a big advantage, but as the battle continued, Si Junxian gradually became unable to hold on, and kept losing ground. This guy is really amazing, I will fight with you !
Si Junxian's eyes were red, he gritted his teeth, and fought Mo Xuan to the end, before he knew it, he had reached the end stage.In the end who won?Si Junxian was still not sure about this, at least it seemed that he still had a slight advantage in the situation.

For the final count, fill the opponent's chess pieces back into the open space surrounded by the opponent, Si Junxian watched Mo Xuan fill the open space one by one with the black pieces of the second party, uh... In the end, all the open spaces were almost taken away. Filled up, the last count, a total of only pitiful seven eyes.And Mo Xuan obviously still has a large open space, let's judge!

Ouch!Si Junxian burst into tears, and said nothing, you are awesome!
I won't go to the head office with you!Si Junxian didn't clean up the chessboard anymore, he just stood up and rushed towards the Chess Academy with a dark face. He wanted to chop vegetables, but was chopped instead. That's so depressing!

Mo Xuan chuckled, pulled the white pieces together, and put them into two chess jars.The biggest advantage of One Color Chess is that it is very convenient to collect chess pieces, just draw and pull them.

Mo Xuan wandered around and played a few games with a few college students. He felt that the chess skills of the college students were slightly stronger than Gao Shan's junior brother and the others in the Taiyuan Academy.

Feeling a bit boring, Mo Xuan went back to the endgame, which was still more exciting.Mo Xuan erected the dusty futon, patted it to shake off the dust, took another breath, put it back on the ground, sat on it, and carefully pondered the endgame.
