"Young man, are you willing to have a game with me?"

In the hazy night, Wang Ge saw a ray of light from afar. Before he could see anyone, he heard the sound first.

He limped and saw an old man who looked very energetic was sitting upright at the stone table, holding a chess book in his left hand and a "car" in his right hand, playing chess with himself.

Because the weather was dark, the old man specially found a fishing lamp and placed it on the stone table to illuminate it. A plate of mosquito coils was lit at his feet, and smoke was curling. There was an exquisite wooden food box under the stone table, which should have something to eat.

A cool breeze blew, and the old man's white hair and long white beard moved with the wind. Through a layer of misty mosquito cigarettes, he faintly exuded a flowing and free temperament, like a fairy-like paradise.

"General!"

The old man spoke with a strong voice and ate the taxi opposite with his car.

Wang Ge limped to the opposite side of the old man and sat down on his own: "Old man, isn't it boring to play chess with himself?"

The old man was shocked by Wang Ge's injuries. He had to insist on taking the test even if he was so injured. This young man was so in love with Qingqing! He instantly looked at Wang Ge with admiration.

"Oh, young man, you're hurting so hard, why is one leg complete?"

"It's okay." Wang Ge waved his hand disapprovingly and continued to ask: "Can you pass the test if you win?"

"Win me? Haha..." the old man shook his head and chuckled, "You don't need to beat me, you just need to hold on for thirty steps in my hand and I will lead you up the mountain!"

"Okay, old man, I don't play chess much, you have to let me do it!"

The old man nodded, secretly praising the young man in his heart for being modest and polite, which is not bad!

"What's your name?"

"Wang Ge."

Wang Ge... The person with destiny that the prophet said should be him. However, to get the heirloom of my Tang family, you must pass the test.

This is a rule. Even if the prophet gives it, it must pass the test before it can be given.

The old man picked up the wooden food box under his feet and put it on the stone table. He smiled kindly and kindly, and asked, "Are you hungry? Do you like to eat lily crisps?"

"I haven't eaten it before, it looks delicious!"

Wang Ge's eyes lit up when he saw the food box. This was the first time he had seen such a delicate food box.

The food box looks a bit old, with traces of time on the surface, like an antique. The whole is a rectangular structure with two layers on the upper and lower sides. The main body is finely carved, and a few lilies are carved vividly and full of vitality.

The old man opened the food box, took out a plate of pastries, and handed it to Wang Ge.

"Take it and tell me what is added."

This is Lily Crisp? What a beautiful pastry! Wang Ge was amazed in his heart. He couldn't wait to pick up a piece and taste it carefully.

"There are winter melon candy... candied dates... sesame... peanuts, and red beans?"

"You are sure you have eaten red beans!" The old man looked surprised. He had eaten this pastry for a lifetime, but he never tasted the red beans. It is said that only those who are destined to be in the Tang family can taste the taste.

Ancient poem says that red beans know lovesickness. The ancestor of the Tang family who created this pastry was named Tang Qing. She spent her whole life waiting for someone until she was old and never got married.

Before she died, she said that one day her favorite person would come back to find her. The person who can taste the red beans in lily crisps is the one she is waiting for.

Five hundred years have passed, and the ancestors have passed away, but those who are destined to appear. Unfortunately, it is five hundred years late.

However, since he had eaten the red beans, it meant that Wang Ge passed the test. He had to admit that the prophet's magic tricks were clever.

"very good!"

The old man nodded meaningfully, then silently began to re-set the chess game.

"Young man, do you choose a handsome guy or a general?"

"I'll choose the best."

The old man nodded, it’s good to choose a general! It’s great to choose a general! The supreme commander of the alliance is called “wise general”, while the commander of the twelve mortal gods is called “straight commander”.

As an elder, he asked Wang Ge to come out first.

Wang Ge took the first step to make up for his soldiers, then jumped on the side of the horse, flew on the side of the elephant, rushed into the army, and walked upright with cannons...

The old man's eyes lit up, and he had an orthodox start-up arrangement, which shows that the young man is steady and calm in his work.

"Young man, your horse is here, but I'm going to eat it in my car. Do you want to regret it?"

"No, there is no regret for making a move."

The old man has a higher evaluation of Wang Ge. The young man is responsible and responsible in his work, which is good! Not bad!

He ate Wang Ge's horse, "General!"

"I lost."

Wang Ge thought for a while, but there was no way to crack it, so he had to admit defeat.

He walked 18 steps in total.

"Come again!" The old man made a chess game again.

In the second game, Wang Ge took twenty-five steps.

The old man nodded and praised: "Young man is good, you have made progress, come again!"

In the third game, Wang Ge took twenty steps, and was still ten steps away from the 30th step.

The old man felt some pressure and finally became serious. In just a few games, Wang Ge's chess moves became more and more mature. He had never seen anyone's chess power grow so quickly.

Could it be that this kid was hiding his strength just now? The old man guessed in his heart.

He then shook his head and denied his idea. It should be impossible. He has played chess for decades, and no one can play tricks in front of him.

Wang Ge lost ten consecutive games.

In the eleventh round, he finally reached thirty-five steps.

At this time, he had already understood the old man's chess path almost completely. He had already established a basic data model in his mind. Almost every move the old man took was in this model, and everything was under control.

He has already gained the upper hand.

"General!" Wang Ge's car suddenly rushed to the old man's old coach, General!

"Nee~" The old man looked at the chess game carefully and found that he was careless. The horse just now was a bait, and he deliberately let him eat it in order to drive his car to facilitate the general.

A very deep plan, being able to take this move means that the young man had already started planning. From which step did he start to make arrangements? The old man began to deduce it back and try to review it.

Hiss ~ He took a breath of air again, and he found that the young man had already started to make arrangements since the fifth step, and each step was calculated extremely accurately. It seemed that every move he took was in his control.

How is this possible? Start from the fifth step, and continue to the 35th step! What a high level of overall view and deduction ability. Without decades of chess skills, how could this plan be made?

The old man no longer dared to underestimate Wang Ge, and he became more cautious and meticulous in his chess game.

"You general, I'm Luo Xiang!" After careful consideration, Luo Xiang blocked Wang Ge's car.

"Power again!" Wang Ge moved the cannon to the general.

Hiss~ The old man frowned. He didn't expect that Wang Ge had a backup plan. This step was so exquisite!

He took out his cell phone and took a picture at the chessboard. He wanted to go back and review it.

"I'll vault!" The old man vaulted his horse and blocked Wang Ge's cannon.

"I'll do it again!" Brother Wang vaulted the horse, his horse and the old man's horse were on the same chess road.

The old man's horse cannot move now. If he vaults and eats Wang Ge's horse, he will be killed by Wang Ge's cannon.

He can only move the old coach now to avoid Wang Ge's general.

But if he moves to the old coach, his horse will be eaten by Wang Ge's horse.

"That's great, this step is great!"

The old man patted his thigh and praised him repeatedly. It took a long time since no one forced him into such a desperate situation.

He moved the old handsome man and waited for Wang Ge to eat his horse.

"I'll put it again!"

Wang Ge moved another car and pointed it at the old man's handsome guy.

The ultimate kill! The old man is inseparable!

Step 37, the old man lost.

"This is impossible! This is impossible!"

The old man couldn't believe that he would lose. He was the level of a special master and had participated in chess competitions on behalf of the Chinese team!

"I'm giving in!" Wang Ge stood up and saluted, wanting to ask the old man to take him up the mountain.

The old man grabbed Wang Ge's hand and refused to let him go: "This game doesn't count. I was careless just now, so I will have another game."

"Okay, then let's have another game. No matter what wins or loses, you have to take me up the mountain!"

Wang Ge sat back on his seat and began to resume the chess game.

The old man was always on chess at this time, nodding casually and perfunctorily, not hearing what Wang Ge said clearly.

Start again, the old man leaves first.

At the 38th step, the old man was killed again. His eyes were covered with blood, and he stared at the chessboard for three minutes without saying a word.
