[Chapter 2208 Gathering of Seven Stars]

Hongyu nodded indifferently. In the previous competitions, Lao Bai always asked to try the next round first, and this time he was not surprised at all.

“No problem! Follow the rules!” Hongyu said with a smile.

Then, he stretched out his hand to touch the space, and on the huge smooth chessboard, sixteen huge red chess pieces suddenly appeared on the side of the ruby, but the words on them were all black.

The chess pieces are crystal clear, and each piece is the size of a millstone. When the chess pieces appeared, Xia Ruofei felt that his Nascent Soul almost came out of his body. The breath from the chess pieces alone was enough to make the Nascent Soul jump for joy.

If Baili Wuya were here, his jaw would definitely drop.

Because these sixteen chess pieces are all made of soul jade essence, and the quality of soul jade essence is extremely high, a random chess piece is more expensive than what Luoxing Pavilion has consumed in the past few thousand years. There are even more Soul Jade Essences.

Hongyu smiled, and said to Lao Bai: “It’s your turn!”

Lao Bai didn’t say a word, and waved his hand from the air, and sixteen green chess pieces appeared on Xia Ruofei’s side of the chessboard. Of course, The words on the pieces are red.

When the sixteen chess pieces appeared, Xia Ruofei suddenly felt a strong breath of life began to diffuse in the cave, and his body also began to spontaneously absorb the breath of life.

Just the escaping breath of life has already made Xia Ruofei feel that his physical body is constantly strengthening.

The muscles became tighter, the meridians became tougher, and even the bones began to be strengthened…

These sixteen chess pieces were made from the most precious and core core of Longya cypress. In the past eight competitions, Lao Bai lost almost the same number of tree cores. Under the ebb and flow, Hong Yu’s strength has grown a lot, while he has been weakened a lot. If he still loses this time, it will be difficult for Lao Bai to last until the next five hundred years. I’m afraid that before the next batch of Lingxu cultivators come in, the dragon tooth cypress will be swallowed up by the ruby.

Hongyu looked greedily at the sixteen chess pieces on the opposite side, and then smiled and made a gesture of invitation to Xia Ruofei, saying: “The red chess pieces go first, come on!”

Xia Ruofei looked at the old man not far away. cypress.

Old Bo nodded slightly, and said: “You are already familiar with the rules of chess. During the competition, you must not touch the chess pieces. You must use mental power to drive them. Let’s start!”

In the environment of this cave, the spiritual power of a monk is will be suppressed to a certain extent.

Therefore, if the mental power is not strong enough, even driving the chess pieces will be very difficult.

The reason why Lao Bai chose Xia Ruofei was that besides relying on his first impression, there was another very important reason, that is, Xia Ruofei’s mental strength was very high.

The highest cultivation level of the monks who entered the ruins is the late Yuanying stage, so their mental powers are generally not too high. Most of them are in the late stage of the spirit transformation state, and very few have reached the holy spirit state.

Xia Ruofei’s spiritual power broke through the Holy Spirit Realm early on. If it is just a comparison of spiritual power, he is definitely the best among the group of monks who entered the ruins.

There are also reasons why Lao Bai chose Xia Ruofei.

After all, the mental power is strong enough, at least it will not be affected when driving the chess pieces. If the state of mental power is relatively low, and it takes effort to drive the chess pieces, how can you concentrate on thinking about the chess game? What’s more, if something goes wrong when driving the chess piece, and the chess piece doesn’t fall to the position you want, it will be tantamount to disarming and surrendering directly.

No regrets, Hongyu will not show affection in such a crucial chess game.

Xia Ruofei nodded, and tried to release his mental power to touch the chess pieces, and then he probably had a bottom line in his heart.

Of course, he was only able to move the chess pieces normally, as for chess skills… let alone!

Xia Ruofei thought about it, and used a well-regulated start. With mental strength, he moved the cannon on the right side to the middle, and took the lead!

Hongyu has always been smiling, and he has not seen any movement. On the opposite chessboard, the horse directly got up, which is also a well-regulated defense.

Then the two of you came and I went underground.

Xia Ruofei doesn’t know how Hongyu’s chess style is, so he is more cautious, but after the opening stage, his shortcomings in chess skills are reflected. Although his current brain capacity is enough for him to think about many moves, playing chess is not only It only needs to be good at calculation, otherwise the Hongyu Yuanshen on the opposite side is so powerful, and the calculation must be even more powerful. In fact, playing chess is still a test of creativity. Facts have proved that Xia Ruofei is indeed very good at chess creativity.

Entering the middle game, Xia Ruofei began to lose the wind.

Hongyu’s chess style also showed a sharp side, she didn’t hesitate to exchange pieces, and she played decisively and decisively. And every time after the exchange, Xia Ruofei found that his situation was even more unfavorable.

The two played for less than an hour, and Hongyu called the general on the vault. Xia Ruofei looked at the chessboard and found that a dead chess had been formed.

He showed a wry smile helplessly, and said, “I lost…”

Hongyu laughed, and said, “You should have just learned it today! It’s pretty good to be able to go down to this level! It seems that the old cypress teacher It ‘s a pretty good game…”

The old cypress on the side had a bad face. Although he was mentally prepared, he still didn’t expect Xia Ruofei to lose so easily. Except for the opening stage, the whole game was a stalemate for a while. It’s all Hongyu who takes the initiative.

It cannot be said that Xia Ruofei does not work hard, but this is the gap in chess skills.

Hongyu’s performance level is higher than when he played against Lao Bai, which is not beyond Lao Bai’s expectation.

As for Xia Ruofei, Lao Bai could see that he had tried his best, and it was precisely because of this that he felt even more desperate.

Hongyu said with a smile: “Old Bai, I have also tried the chess test, can we start the formal competition now?”

Old Bai frowned slightly, and he also knew that it would be useless to delay now. He lamented in his heart: Maybe the sky really wants to kill me!

He nodded dejectedly, and said, “Let’s get started!”

“Okay!” Hongyu replied cheerfully.

Then with a wave of his hand, the chess pieces on the chessboard flew up one after another, and then fell to their corresponding positions.

Lao Bai glanced at the chessboard, couldn’t help frowning and said, “Hongyu, what do you mean?”

Xia Ruofei’s eyes also fell on the chessboard, and found that Hongyu didn’t follow the normal opening of chess. Only fourteen chess pieces were left, and the rest were stacked aside.

These fourteen chess pieces are seven for each of the red and black sides.

Among them, the black side has four pawns, one rook, one bishop, and one general; the red side has three pawns, two rooks, one cannon, and one commander.

Three of black’s pawns have pushed into red’s old camp, trapping the red commander in the center, and two of red’s pawns have pushed into black’s old camp, and the other red rook is on the same line as his own commander.

The more Xia Ruofei watched the chess game, the more familiar it became.

At this time, Hongyu smiled and said: “I decided to use this endgame for the official competition today. Old Bo, this seems to be my right?”

They both agreed that the chess game for the competition was selected by Hongyu, and the competition method It is also up to him to decide.

So Hongyu chose chess this time. As long as he followed the rules of chess, he chose such an endgame, which was completely in line with the rules.

Although Lao Bai just learned chess today, his chess strength is already much higher than Xia Ruofei, so he can naturally see the danger of this endgame.

It can be said that if it is a normal game, even if Xia Ruofei’s level is a little worse, he can persist for at least half an hour to an hour. And if it is played with this endgame, if the response is slightly improper, it may be completely lost in two or three moves.

Although there may be no difference in the final result, Lao Bai is still very unwilling. After all, Xia Ruofei is poor at chess, and it is even more difficult to deal with this endgame, and since Hongyu chose this endgame, he must have studied it for a long time, and Xia Ruofei just started learning chess today—at least in Lao Bai’s opinion. Like this—he must have never seen such an endgame, and he faced such a dangerous endgame in the official competition when he first came up, and the result can be imagined.

However, as Hongyu said, the rules were agreed upon by the two of them, Hongyu did not break the rules, and Lao Bai had no way of objecting.

Old Bai couldn’t help looking at Xia Ruofei…

At this time, Xia Ruofei frowned slightly. This endgame gave him a strong sense of familiarity, and he felt that he must have encountered it before.

Scenes of the past flashed through his mind quickly, and a memory gradually became clear…

In the barracks of the Lone Wolf Commando, Lin Hu pulled Xia Ruofei and said happily: “Ruofei! I saw a very interesting endgame at the chess stand, so I’ll show it and let’s take a look!”

During that time, everyone’s training tasks were not very heavy, and they still had a lot of spare time. Besides playing poker, what they played the most was Chess, so although Xia Ruofei’s level is not high, he is quite addicted, and he became interested immediately when he heard it.

So Lin Hu took out chess from the drawer, picked out fourteen chess pieces, and said as he put them together: “In this endgame, the red and black sides each have seven chess pieces, so there is a very nice name called the Seven Star Gathering.” , It is said to be a very famous Jianghu endgame, known as one of the top ten famous games!”

Lin Hu put the chess pieces up one by one, the distribution of the chess pieces on the chessboard, and the distribution of the chess pieces on the huge chessboard in front of Xia Ruofei now overlap little by little… …

Seven Star Gathering! Xia Ruofei finally remembered the name of this game.

No wonder he thought this endgame looked so familiar, because he and Lin Hu had been studying this endgame for a long time at the beginning, but later everyone’s training tasks became more and more heavy, and the time for playing chess became less and less. Keep studying, and as time goes by, this memory will naturally become weaker and weaker.

Fortunately, after Xia Ruofei practiced, not only her memory has improved a lot, but also many memories that were vague before can be recalled a lot as long as she recalls them a little.

In fact, many people think that they have forgotten, but they are actually just hidden in a certain corner of the brain, and the memory can still be awakened under certain conditions.

Practicing spiritual power is also beneficial for awakening dusty memories.

Xia Ruofei slowly recalled the details of how he and Lin Hu studied this chess game. Of course, he couldn’t remember all the details of the research on the endgame, but he could remember the general situation.

However, just because he remembered a lot of content, his face became even uglier.

Because this chess game is too dangerous, and there are so many changes in the later stage, some folk masters of chess often lose their halberds by accident.

The endgame of the Seven Stars Gathering is very famous. Many ancient chess records are included, and it is known as one of the top ten famous games. There are also chess records that list this endgame as the first of the four famous games. Even the first China Chess International Invitational Tournament was named “” Seven Stars Cup”, which shows the great reputation of this endgame.

With such a famous endgame, there are naturally many people who study it. After deduction by many chess masters, the best result for the red side in this endgame is to strive for a draw. Of course, this is under the condition that the black side responds properly and does not make mistakes in every step. If the black side makes a careless move, the situation will immediately reverse, and the red side also has a chance to win quickly.

The endgame of the Gathering of Seven Stars often appears in street chess stalls.

The chess games that are favored by Jianghu chess stalls all have an obvious characteristic, that is, no matter the red side or the black side, it seems that they may be able to checkmate the opponent by one or two moves, and even the odds of winning are extremely high on the surface, because only Only in this way can people who don’t believe in evil continue to be challenged, and stall owners can make a lot of money.

At the same time, this kind of chess game has another characteristic, that is, there are so many traps, and it seems that the victory is about to be won, but in fact there are hidden murderous intentions. They often fall into the trap unknowingly, and lose out in a daze.

These two characteristics of the Seven Stars Gathering are very obvious, and the trap is still hidden deeply.

Xia Ruofei and Lin Hu were also interested in it, so they found a chess record and studied it for a period of time. It is far from being thorough, and it is impossible for him to recall the details of every step now, so for Today’s competition still has no effect.

Maybe he could rely on his memory to deal with the first few moves steadily, but after the sudden increase in the subsequent changes, the test is still chess skills, and this kind of endgame has very little room for error, as long as he makes a wrong move, he will basically fail.

Therefore, Xia Ruofei’s face became even uglier.

If it was a normal game, he might still have such an extremely slim chance of winning, but if it was the endgame of the competition, especially the endgame of this seven-star gathering, he might not even have this chance of winning.

Lao Bai is looking at Xia Ruofei, and Hongyu is also looking at Xia Ruofei with a smile.

Just when Xia Ruofei felt that he might really want Barbie Q this time, a flash of inspiration suddenly flashed in his mind, and he thought of a past event…
