Maoshan ghost hunter

Master Daoyuan opened his mouth, and just as he was about to speak, Ye Shaoyang waved his hand quickly and said, "Don't ask me what is Dao, and don't discuss Dao with me. It doesn't matter, anyway, my strength is still the same, and the celestial master is more down-to-earth, and it is easier to mix in the world. When I become an earth immortal, I am cautious in doing things, but I can't let go of many things. What's the point, brother, what do you think?"

Master Daoyuan nodded slowly.

Ye Shaoyang cupped his hands at him, and began to talk about business: "Brother, the snake demon you imprisoned, when I went through the catastrophe, I helped a little bit, he is my demon servant, he came here to find me , why did you arrest him?"

Daoyuan Daoyuan didn't wait for Daoyuan to speak, and then said: "Don't say anything about trespassing on the sect, I know that you are not such a petty person, brother."

Daoyuan Daoyuan rolled his eyes and scolded: "You are a good general! I locked up your demon servant, of course to lure you, to lure you, of course to fight!"

"Fighting skills?" Ye Shaoyang grinned, "No, brother, we are not martial arts sects, we are all Taoist disciples, what is there to fight?"

Daoyuan Daoyuan said: "Back then, Qingyunzi made an eight-year agreement with me, saying that he would come to me to fight with me in eight years, and the winner would be the leader of the Taoist sect. Now that the eight-year period has come, this turtle with a shrinking head has disappeared Yes, I have sent people to Maoshan to look for him several times, but I have avoided seeing him. I am guarding the Linglong Pagoda, and it is not convenient to find him. It happens that you travel the world on behalf of the master. As long as I defeat you, it is equivalent to defeating your master... "

Ye Shaoyang fainted as soon as he heard it, and he is the leader of the martial arts, the leader of Taoism, or something, and he is still competing in martial arts on behalf of his masters. This is such a vulgar stalk.Just as he was about to speak, Master Daoyuan waved his hand and said, "There is one more thing, if you can defeat me, I will tell you."

Ye Shaoyang shook his head listlessly, and said, "Tell me, how do you fight, literary or martial?"

"Let's combine civil and martial arts," Daoyuan Daoyuan said, "the old rules, you and I fight in divination, array, and seal three arrays, and two wins in three rounds."

Divination, array, and seal are all traditional disciplines of Taoism. Among them, divination is divination, and it also includes items such as helping the spirit to break the love. , the power varies greatly.

In addition to divination, array, and seal, there are also three techniques of talisman, medicine, and Kan in Taoism. The latter two are relatively professional and are not as good as fighting. one or more of the symbols.

Ye Shaoyang pondered and thought, it's a pity that this old guy doesn't want to fight with talismans, otherwise he would have a better chance of winning by relying on the magic talisman technique.As for divination... Ye Shaoyang can only hehe.

"Let's do divination first," Daoyuan Daoyuan said, "Let's each set up one object, cover it with another object, and each use spiritual skills to guess what the other party is pressing. What do you think?"

Ye Shaoyang shrugged and said three words: "I abstain."

For a moment, everyone present was stunned, including Zhang Wusheng and Xiaobai.

Xiaobai stepped forward and shook Ye Shaoyang's arm, persuading him: "Boss, cheer up, although he is older than you, you don't have to be afraid of him, at least you can give it a try."

Ye Shaoyang rolled her eyes and said, "What do you know? Divination is the worst thing I am good at. I only learned the basics. Why should I fight with him? Waste of time, abstain. I abstain from this test."

Master Daoyuan smiled and said, "Why not change it to something else?"

"Forget it, there is no absolute fairness in this thing, what about the second level, let's start."

"Follow me." After Daoyuan finished speaking, he turned and walked in the opposite direction.

Ye Shaoyang and others followed all the way to the bottom of a very old-looking pagoda. Ye Shaoyang looked up and saw that the pagoda was very high and became thinner as it reached the top, which inevitably gave people a feeling of towering into the clouds.

"I heard that this exquisite pagoda has 33 floors, which symbolizes the 33 heavens. Is it true that each floor is imprisoned with ghosts and demons who have been unable to transcend reincarnation since ancient times?" Ye Shaoyang asked curiously. When I was young, I didn't have much interest in Linglong Tower.

Master Daoyuan said indifferently: "I'm only responsible for guarding the tower, I haven't been there before, so I don't know."

Ye Shaoyang thought he would be invited into the pagoda by himself, but when he arrived at the Linglong Pagoda, Master Daoyuan led him to a stone table and asked Ye Shaoyang to sit opposite him on the stone bench.

On the stone table, there is a table with four vertical and horizontal lines.After Daoyuan sat down, he said: "Let's play a game of Jiugongge." After speaking, he asked Zhang Wusheng for two compasses.

Zhang Wusheng asked his disciples again, and quickly got two. Daoyuan Daoyuan took it and handed one to Ye Shaoyang. Ye Shaoyang smiled helplessly, and stretched out his hand and said, "Please."

Master Daoyuan took a copper coin and placed it somewhere in the nine grids, then Ye Shaoyang squeezed a copper bean and put it beside it.

The two of you, one for you and one for me, quickly filled up the small grid on the Jiugongge, leaving only one empty space.

Reverend Daoyuan looked at the chessboard, observed for a moment, stretched out his hand to pinch a copper coin near the bottom of the space, moved it up, and said in his mouth: "Shang Qian San."

Ye Shaoyang immediately pressed a copper bean on the left side of the space, moved it to the right, and said, "Right to four."

Xiao Bai looked at the two with a frown, and casually pulled a Taoist past him. It was the smart investor Xiong Shuai, and asked, "What are they doing?"

Xiong Shuai did not refuse, and enthusiastically explained: "This is called Jiugongqi. It is a formation game practiced on the Jiugongge. The two sides are just like the formation in reality, but they are controlled by chess pieces. No matter how the chess pieces move, There is always a space on the chessboard, whenever the space is up, down, left, or right, it is your own piece, and it is considered a win."

Xiao Bai blurted out, "What's the point of that?"

Xiong Shuai laughed and said, "Sister, you don't understand this. The rules of Jiugong Chess seem simple, but the actual game is very complicated, and it is getting more and more complicated. The test is the anticipation of both sides' deduction and changes in Bagua Yishu." Judgment and analysis, this is something you don't understand, because it is pushed and dialed, so in our Taoist school, it is called Tai Chi on the table."

Over there, Ye Shaoyang and Master Daoyuan moved the copper coins and copper beans on the chessboard back and forth. It seemed very simple and boring, just pushing and pushing.

But every step has gone through multiple deduction.

Chapter 6 and Eight of Nine Palaces Chess 2

Zhang Wusheng led a group of disciples to watch around, watching the changes on the chessboard one by one, calculating in his heart, and some even took out the compass to play.

After pushing dozens of steps.The movements of the two gradually slowed down, and before each step, they began to dial the compass.After some deduction, move the chess pieces.

"Shangkun Liujiaxuan."

"Zuokan Qidingtian."

When Xiong Shuai heard the star position reported by the two, he deduced it with a compass, then shook his head and smiled wryly, "It has been pushed from three pillars to five pillars, and we can't keep up at all."

Beside him, those brothers also gave up using the compass to continue deducing, only Zhang Wusheng was still deducing the compass, with a serious expression and a layer of cold sweat on his forehead.

"Why push the compass?" Xiaobai asked.

"It's the same as planning to check the information. It's all five pillars, just like a five-digit password. Without deduction, who can remember it?"

Xiao Bai frowned and said, "Then everyone can deduce it, so what's the difficulty?"

Xiong Shuai got excited, reached out and patted Xiao Bai's head, and said, "I said big girl..."

"Say it again." The little white tiger looked at him with a stern face, with blood in his eyes.

"Uh..." Xiong Shuai suddenly remembered that she is a snake demon, and she has at least a thousand years of Taoism. It's a bit exaggerated to call her a big girl and take advantage of her for 1000 years.

"Ahem, I think you look too juicy, a little... Hehe, to be serious."

Xiong Shuai coughed twice and explained:

"Using the compass to deduce, you can only deduce within one step. What I said before, why this chess becomes more and more difficult to play, because the easy number changes that need to be mastered at each step are the result of the addition of each previous step. , but also to master the laws of the five elements and four images, nine palaces and eight trigrams, so at the beginning it was one column, and then to the second column... Now it is five columns, and the compass can only be deduced within one step, but the previous easy-to-number changes, you You have to remember, so every step you take, the difficulty will increase exponentially."

Xiaobai was dumbfounded, and murmured: "It looks so simple, but I didn't expect it to be so complicated inside..."

Xiong Shuai laughed and said, "The simpler things are, the more complicated they are. Is Go simple? There are only black and white pieces, without any rules, but the more you play, the more complicated it becomes. The same goes for Jiugongqi."

At this time, Ye Shaoyang and Ye Shaoyang each walked more than ten steps. At this time, even Zhang Wusheng gave up the deduction. how many steps.

"78 steps, shit! It's almost breaking the record!" Xiong Shuai sighed in disbelief.

"How many records?" Xiao Bai asked.

"97 steps." Xiong Shuai talked eloquently, "Those immortals in ancient times didn't know about it, and we haven't seen it before. Anyway, in this world, there is only one record of being able to move Jiugongqi to 97 steps, and it is Patriarch Daoyuan and Xuankong. The battle between a celestial master I watched seemed to be ten years ago, and I also heard from my brothers."

When Xiaobai saw that there was a record to break, he immediately said excitedly: "Boss will definitely break the record!"
