In the immortal world, the alliance leader of Hongmeng was in the pavilion, looking at the chessboard in front of him, frowning.
However, there are only nine pieces on the chessboard.
Among them, there are five white pieces and four black pieces.
Although the number of black chessmen is small, four sunspots surround five white chessmen.
In his hands, there were two pieces.
One black, one white.
It seems to be thinking about where these two pieces should be placed.
At this moment, a burst of laughter suddenly sounded in his ear: "ha ha, I have heard that Taoist friends have wonderful ideas and know everything, but now I am facing a game of residual chess. How can I be a little hesitant!"
The leader of Hongmeng alliance was not surprised by the sudden sound. He didn't even raise his head. He still looked at the chessboard and said faintly, "do you know chess?"
As his voice fell, a figure appeared out of thin air on the empty stone chair opposite him.
The man is a middle-aged man with a bronze face and a smile, which gives people a simple and honest feeling.
The middle-aged man smiled and waved his hand and said, "I'm a rude man. I can't compare with my Taoist friends. Where can I have leisure to ponder this elegant thing."
"Don't understand!"
The man just glanced at the chessboard. As expected, he stopped looking and turned his eyes to the leader of Hongmeng alliance.
At a glance, he immediately restrained the smile on his face and said in surprise: "I haven't seen you for a few days. How come you are a little old, and your temples have turned white."
"Taoist friend, listen to my advice. It's OK to play chess once in a while. But it won't pay to play chess with your life."
The leader of Hongmeng suddenly stretched out his hand. Instead of dropping the sunspot in his hand, he took a white one from the chessboard.
The middle-aged man asked, "Taoist friend, can you tell me what kind of chess you are playing?"
"Now, the white boy has the advantage and the black boy has the disadvantage. How can the white boy lose a son now?"
The leader of Hongmeng shook his head and said, "this son has been abolished. Although it is still in the chess game, it has no effect. Instead, it will affect my judgment of the chess game, so I naturally want to take it away."
Listening to these words, the middle-aged man's face showed a thoughtful color. Immediately, he looked at the palm of the Hongmeng alliance leader and said, "why don't you dare to drop the black-and-white son you hold in your hand?"
The leader of Hongmeng alliance looked at the chess pieces in his hand and said in a deep voice: "these two chess pieces are not afraid to fall, but cannot fall."
"Because I am not sure whether they have entered the chess game."
"Since you are not sure, if you blindly drop it, you may disturb the whole chess game!"
The middle-aged man raised his eyebrows and said, "this is really new."
"As a chess player, you don't even know whether a piece has entered the chess game?"
The leader of Hongmeng finally raised his head slowly, looked at the middle-aged man in front of him, and said calmly, "I'm not the only chess player."
"Taoist friends are also chess players."
"You and I should play this game together!"
"Hahaha!" The middle-aged man looked up to the sky again and laughed and said, "yes, yes, I almost forgot. I also participated in this chess game."
"Since you and I play chess together, that friend doesn't need to be hesitant and frown."
"You and I join hands. In this world, except for those who have disappeared, no one is our opponent at all."
The leader of Hongmeng shook his head and said, "it's good for Taoist friends to have confidence, but the reality may not be what they think."
"Now, we may even lose this game of chess."
"Oh?" The middle-aged man's face showed interest. He reached out and pointed to the chessboard and said, "put aside other things. I really don't believe that we will lose this game."
"Let me study this chess game and see how to win."
"By the way, Taoist friends, please give us some advice. Are we black or white?"
The leader of Hongmeng alliance didn't laugh at the other party because the other party didn't even know that he was a black man and a white man. Calmly, he turned his eyes to the chessboard and said, "white man!"
Just now, the leader of Hongmeng alliance took away a white child, so now, the number of white children and sunspots on the chessboard is equal.
The middle-aged man grinned and said, "even if it's four on four, we are sure to win!"
The leader of the Hongmeng alliance suddenly smiled and said, "whether I can win or not depends on my friends."
"What do you say?" The middle-aged man held out his hand to the chessboard in high spirits, and tried to take a piece and said, "Taoist friend, is this the next step for me?"
"Yes!" The leader of Hongmeng nodded and said, "there is only one left of my son."
"The other three are all held by Taoist friends!"
"As long as Taoist friends don't touch my son, other white boys, you can go anywhere!"
The words of the leader of Hongmeng alliance were the palm of the middle-aged man's hand, which was fixed in the air.
After a while, he slowly raised his head, looked at the leader of Hongmeng and said, "Taoist friends, I don't have so many pieces."
The leader of the Hongmeng alliance pointed to his white hair on his temples and said, "I used my life to play chess. If I don't even know how many pieces my Taoist friends have, my life is not too valuable."
At this point, the leader of Hongmeng suddenly laughed at himself, shook his head and said, "boast, boast."
"My life is really worthless. In fact, I can't be sure how many pieces Taoist friends have."
"Therefore, the chess piece should be left to Taoist friends, who will decide whether to drop it."
As he spoke, the leader of Hongmeng gently put the white child he had been twisting in his hand in front of the middle-aged man.
The middle-aged man didn't look at the white boy at all. His hand, which was frozen in the air, pointed to the four sunspots on the chessboard and said, "you can be sure of these four sunspots?"
The leader of Hongmeng alliance nodded, raised the only sunspot in his hand and said, "except this one, other sunspots can be determined."
The middle-aged man narrowed his eyes slightly, pondered for a moment, and then continued to say: "two of the four sunspots should be counted as one?"
The leader of Hongmeng nodded first, then shook his head and said, "yes, it's not!"
The middle-aged man nodded and said, "OK, even if it is the four sons, but Taoist friends think that these four sunspots can really compete with our four white sons?"
The leader of Hongmeng stretched out his hand again, gently clicked the whole chessboard and said, "this is the chessboard of sunspots, so it is still possible!"
The middle-aged man stared at the chessboard and fell into silence. But just a moment later, his face suddenly changed slightly. He stretched out his hand and took another white child from the chessboard.
"This son has been abolished!"
On the chessboard, there are three Baizi and four sunspots!
The middle-aged man said softly, "Taoist friend, I said, I don't know how to play chess."
"So, let's just say, what are we going to do to win this game?"
The leader of Hongmeng alliance also fell into silence. When the middle-aged man was about to lose patience, he slowly said: "it seems that Taoist friends really want to win this game."
"However, I think Taoist friends should take a longer-term view, rather than just staring at the chess game in front of them."
The leader of Hongmeng suddenly stretched out his hand and pressed the remaining three Baizi on the chessboard.
When he raised his hand again, the three white sons were crushed by him.
The leader of Hongmeng alliance took back his palm and said word by word: "my idea is to sacrifice these three pieces and lose this game."
"However, we can take advantage of the loss of this game of chess to win a bigger game of chess!"
"Of course, the precondition is that we should ensure that the other party will not fall off the chessboard!"
"I can't help it. I don't know if there is any way, Taoist friend."
