It was already the morning of the second day when I saw Master Jingkong.

Mu Yuan got up early habitually, and after the exercise, the monks in the temple just finished their morning class.After changing clothes and eating breakfast, a monk came to pass the message that Master Jingkong was waiting in the meditation room.

Mu Yuan took Tian Yuan into the meditation room, and there were two monks sitting and standing in the meditation room.

The one who sat was older, about 40 years old, in good spirits, with kind and wise eyes, and felt like an eminent monk.The young one was in his early twenties, standing respectfully behind the older monk, with a calm expression on his face.

Needless to say, this sitting eminent monk must be the presiding master Jingkong of Lingyin Temple.

After Mu Yuan entered the door, he saluted first, and said straight to the point: "This junior has met the master, and Muyun Qiantang came to pay homage to the master at the order of his father."

Master Jingkong said: "Last night, a disciple from the temple told the deceased's son to visit him. Because it was getting late, we didn't meet each other. Please, little benefactor, I have been waiting for a long time."

Mu Yuan said humbly: "Don't dare. It's the younger generation's fault to come here rashly to bother you. This is my father's handwriting, so I ordered me to hand it over to the master."

Master Jing Kong took the envelope, opened it and looked at it. The letter was not long, so he read it quickly.

Master Jing Kong laughed and said: "It turns out that it is little benefactor Mu, such a good-looking talent, it turns out that the tiger father has no dogs. I haven't seen you for many years, I wonder how brother Qianzheng is doing?"

Mu Yuan said: "My father is fine, thank you Master for your concern."

The two exchanged pleasantries for a while, and then went straight to the topic.

"Brother Qianzheng said in the letter that Mu's little benefactor, Yu Yizhi, has a long history of research. Recently, due to a chance meeting, his chess power has greatly improved, but he wants to try his skills?" Master Jing Kong asked.

Mu Yuan cupped his hands slightly: "I'm here to ask the master for advice."

Master Jing Kong smiled slightly. The young man in front of him had a humble attitude, firm eyes, and a calm and confident expression, without any shyness.I don't know how good chess is, if it can be made, I might as well lend a helping hand.

Thinking of this, Master Jingkong flipped his right palm: "So, how about we talk about it first?"

"Thank you, master, for your enlightenment." Mu Yuan sat down while speaking.

The young monk standing behind Master Jingkong quickly took out the chessboard and set it up, placed a seat on the four-pointed star position, and then retreated.Tian Yuan also stood quietly behind Mu Yuan.

Master Jingkong thought about it, and said, "For the first game, let's guess first. What's Mu Xiaoshi's idea?"

"It's up to you." Mu Yuan nodded.

Master Jing Kong, as an elder, should let him grasp the child.

Mu Yuan casually said "order".

Master Jingkong spread out his right heart and saw that there were four chess pieces in it, but he failed to guess correctly.

Therefore, the master of clean space will execute the white first.

Master Clearance hit Xiaofeihang in the upper left corner.

Because of the existence of the seat, it is basically doomed that the four corners of the opening are only the star formula.At the same time, because of the monotony of the layout, it is doomed to decide the outcome in the middle game, and because of this, the battle in the middle game is extremely fierce.Many modern chess players are amazed by the powerful combat power of the ancient chess player.

For the Xingding style, Xiao Feigua is an extremely tough move, and it is also the most common move.The so-called "starting with three or six, the best attack angle".This line of thinking seems to be consistent regardless of ancient times and modern times.Among the chess games played in the past month, Mu Yuan has never seen a move that was not made by Xiao Fei whenever the opponent held the White.

Mu Yuan responded with a big fly.

White splits two, and black also splits a move in the lower right.

Then White played Xiaofei in his hand.If you follow the thinking of modern chess players, considering the strength and thickness of the chess shape, you will be more willing to play chess in a wider area, so you generally choose to hang the corner on the other side instead of the inside.But in ancient chess players, such a move is not uncommon, and it probably has something to do with the ancient rules.

The characteristics of the ancient Go rules, in addition to the seat, there is also "returning the head".The so-called "returning the chess head" means that at the last count of the chess pieces, every time the opponent breaks an extra piece, the opponent must return one more piece, that is, two eyes.Conversely, that is, every time one more piece of chess is broken by the opponent, one's own interests will be greater.The ancient chess style was aggressive, to a large extent, it was actually determined by the rules.

Facing White's inside hook, Black chose to take off first, and hang White's corner from another direction.

White also chooses to take the lead.

Black continues to hang the corner, and white flies away.

The situation at this time is quite interesting for both sides.

The first collision occurs in the lower left corner.

White started the battle with a set method, and after several confrontations, White gradually became tense.At this time, Mu Yuan expected that the white chess would make a charge, but the white chess did not charge, but chose to grab and capture at another position.

Seeing Master Jing Kong's move, Mu Yuan was a little surprised, and his intuition told him that it was wrong, the sunspot between his fingers did not follow the trend, but started to calculate.Soon, Mu Yuan saw the intention of the opponent's move. If he followed the trend, the final result is very likely that his piece of chess will be completely wrapped in the white chess. This is an absolutely unacceptable situation for black .

Mu Yuan continued to think for a while, and decisively broke his move. While the white piece was still useful, he beat it and ate it first.After that, several moves were exchanged, and the situation of this chess was two points at the time of the pause.White has gained a strong position on the periphery, and black has a solid field on both sides, which can be satisfied by both sides.

Then it was black's turn to move first in the lower right corner. The first few moves were almost a replica of the left side, but after black's repeated pulls, white made a little change.White didn't play at the [-]rd and [-]rd corner first, but chose to be at the [-]nd corner, so Black had to make a move.Maybe White had his intentions, but the changes in the next few moves proved that no matter what his intentions, such an exchange was not worthwhile.Black used White's move to secure the ground, but White lost the ground.

At this point in the chess game, Master Clearance is no longer as relaxed as it was at the beginning.In the battles so far, he didn't take advantage of it. Instead, he let the opponent seize his weakness and seize the ground first.

This young man is not easy!

Master Jingkong pondered for a while, and instead of hitting with a backhand, he directly punched in from below, making the piece that black dismantled earlier became a lone piece.

The so-called "don't run away from the orphan", Mu Yuan was also very calm, and didn't think of a way to meet the orphan, but directly cultivated a hand here.

Master Clearance's original intention was that if the opponent wants to escape or work on the spot, he can take the opportunity to occupy the ground or gain external momentum, no matter what the result is, he will not suffer.In fact, if the opponent wants to keep this piece, no matter what he does, it will be within White's calculations, so for this situation, this is an absolute master.But the opponent shouldn't, so White has nothing to do, he can only make a move there.

There is no better way to deal with this piece of chess for the time being, so Mu Yuan cleverly chose to take the lead, and made a move next to the white piece in the upper left corner, and the battlefield shifted to the upper left corner.Black's intention is obvious, to make white's strength thicker and thicker.

However, Master Jing Kong is worthy of being a master of the prince, who can compete with the Imperial Academy Chess Master. Naturally, he will not just follow the black chess's wishes, so his choice is to take off first, three-three corners.

Mu Yuan cheered up, this was the first chess player he met in this era who could be called an opponent.The high-level duel has inspired his fighting spirit. The so-called "you meet your opponent in chess, and you meet your confidant in wine", after all, Go is played by two people.Only evenly matched opponents can jointly create a wonderful chess game. If the opponent is too weak, even if you win, it will not be refreshing enough to win.

Starting from this corner, white gradually searched for the root of black, and then responded to its previous move, gaining an advantage on the ground, but black also took advantage of the trend to thicken its own piece.It can be said that such a conversion is acceptable to both parties.

Afterwards, Mu Yuan took the first and only long test of this game of chess before making a move. After the long test, Mu Yuan did not continue to play chess at the top, but made a move at the bottom.For this inexplicable one-handed master, Master Jingkong looked at it for a long time and couldn't see what effect it had.However, judging from the opponent's series of skillful moves during the duel just now, it can be seen that this calm young man is not simple at all. In addition, the opponent only made this move after the long test, so Master Clearance would never naively think that this was just a random move.Since you can't see the intention, you can only take advantage of the trend and see what happens next.

The battle returned to the upper left again, Master Clearance came aggressively, and first moved the black chess into a stupid shape.Mu Yuan didn't have the so-called elegant bad habits of some Japanese chess players, and it didn't matter if he lost in order to ensure the beauty of the chess shape.Go is not only an art, but also a battle.Winning or losing should be the first consideration.Within the scope of his ability, Mu Yuan is also willing to play beautiful chess moves, but when life and death are threatened, he doesn't mind playing stupid moves that are not good-looking.

Although he was made into a fool, Mu Yuan also completely played this game.

When this piece of chess is completely thickened, the previous hand length begins to play a role.Mu Yuan's loose one-handed flying, combined with the previous move, posed a great threat to White and made White feel uncomfortable.At the same time, because of that skill, black has been able to respond to the previously placed soliton first.

Only then did Master Jing Kong fully understand the meaning of Mu Yuan's move.At this time, surprise could no longer explain Master Jing Kong's mood, he should be said to be shocked.The changes from that one-hand length to the subsequent changes all reflect the opponent's profound calculation power and ingenious layout ability.This is something Master Jing Kong has never seen before, and the other party is still so young!

Master Jing Kong felt cold sweat dripping down his face.

This game of chess was played from dawn to dusk. After that, although Master Jingkong tried his best, he only caused some resistance to Mu Yuan when he was treating the orphan on the upper right, but Mu Yuan's few Tesuji completely resolved the situation. Threatening.There were no twists and turns in the subsequent situation.

When the two reached 220 and the third hand, they had basically finished fighting for the contestable ground, and then they only needed to close the officials.So far, among the number of pieces that can be calculated, black has nearly 50 pieces, and white has only more than [-] pieces. Counting that black has one more piece than white and needs to pay back two pieces, black also wins a net of [-] pieces more than chess.

The previous game had already shown Master Jing Kong the strength of Mu Yuan. With such far-reaching computing power and strong layout, Master Jing Kong didn't think that the opponent would make too many mistakes in the official game, so in this game, he had already lost the game. Certainly.

Master Clearance has the demeanor of a master. Since he lost, he didn't make much trouble, and just threw the ball to admit defeat.

Master Jingkong laughed: "Master Mu is really impressive. He has such skill at such a young age. I am ashamed of myself. I admire him!"

Mu Yuan stood up: "Master has accepted!"
