Chapter 1704 Twists and Turns

"The two of you brothers have the same mind, and you have prepared for countless years for Luo Tian's three games. Your chess strength is completely different from our clumsy method of using mental power to force exhaustion. I am looking forward to the two of you in Luo Tian's three games. Great performance." Jing Zimo also complimented the Lin brothers unceremoniously.

"Fellow Daoist is too self-effacing," the Lin brothers said with a smile.

Several people chatted with each other, and the pavilion was extremely lively and the atmosphere was harmonious.

"Although our brothers share the same mind, sometimes it is a benefit, but sometimes it is also a restriction." Lin Zhu, the elder brother of the two brothers, said with a sigh.

"Yes." Lin Yu, who had a scar on his face, nodded seriously.

Jing Zimo pondered for a while, then turned his eyes, and suddenly landed on Ye Tian.

"The two of us have been playing this game for several days, and the consumption is huge. Fellow Daoist Lin Mu hasn't made a move yet. In this case, let Fellow Daoist Lin Mu come and play the game with you two!" Jing Zimo said with a sincere expression. .

"That's right, the three people with the same surname are all casual cultivators, and it's a great fate to gather here again today," Jing Zimo said with Ji Xingchen's approval of his proposal.

Lin Zhu and Lin Yu looked at each other and pondered for a moment.

"If it's two against one, it will inevitably be unfair to Fellow Daoist Lin Mu. My brother's chess skills are slightly better than mine, so why not let him come." Lin Yu said with a slight bow.

"It depends on what Fellow Daoist Lin Mu wants," Lin Zhu looked at Ye Tian with a gentle gaze.

Ye Tianxin said that since he had decided to go to the Naluotian Conference to take a look, it was also necessary to get used to it in advance, so he didn't refuse and went forward to take a seat.

Clean up the previous mess between Jing Zimo and Ji Xingchen, and then proceed to the normal guessing.

In fact, it is definitely the most exhausting move at the beginning, such as Jing Zi, Mo Ji Xingchen, who relies on mental strength to make exhaustive moves.

The reason is simple, because there are fewer and more empty pieces at the beginning.

And as time goes by, when more and more pieces fall on the surface, and the space becomes less and less, the consumption will definitely become less and less.

Based on the previous observation of the match between Jing Zimo and Ji Xingchen, Ye Tian has already been able to deduce that when the cultivation base officially exceeds the peak of Wendao and reaches the level of a true immortal, the monk's mental strength is already enough to rely on exhaustive methods. Play the whole game of chess in an orderly manner.

If this is really the case in Luo Tian's three rounds, it will basically lose the difficulty for monks above the true immortal level.

Therefore, the actual three rounds of Luo Tian must not be so simple.

The exhaustive method should only be able to enter the game, but not break it.

As for the chess game in front of him, Ye Tian could easily completely crush Lin Zhu at the level of mental power simply by using exhaustive methods, so this game would be meaningless to Ye Tian.

It is impossible for Ye Tian to consume his mental power, wasting his mental power just to educate Lin Zhu once.

Therefore, after the start of the game, Ye Tian didn't mobilize his mental power to exhaustively, but started to lay out the layout according to the chess game formula and skills he knew.

In other words, Lin Zhu is actually playing chess with an ordinary person who knows how to play chess.

Therefore, Ye Tianluozi was very fast at first.

Usually, after Lin Zhu made a move after a long period of deduction and calculation, Ye Tian made a move within ten breaths.

So Lin Zhu continued to frown and think for a long time.

The two people in the game were like this, Jing Zimo and others who were watching by the side were full of surprises at first.

Ye Tianluo's speed was so fast that they mistakenly thought that this was Ye Tian's exhaustion and calculation speed, and the three fell into great surprise.

The three of them looked at each other, seeing deep surprise in each other's eyes.

"The speed at the beginning should be the slowest, but why is Fellow Daoist Lin Mu so fast! How is this possible?!" Jing Zimo said to Ji Xingchen and Lin Yu through voice transmission, and his unbelievable voice sounded in the minds of the two behind.

"This Fellow Daoist Lin Mu has been talking very little just now. Could it be that he is pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger?" Ji Xingchen frowned and said through voice transmission.

"It's very possible that I can't see through his cultivation level. He should be above my level. Fellow Daoist Ji Xingchen has the highest cultivation level. I wonder if you can see his level?" Lin Yu asked via voice transmission road.

"I can't see through it. I always thought that he deliberately hid his cultivation just to protect himself." Ji Xingchen said via voice transmission.

"You're asking about the peak, is it possible that fellow Taoist Lin Mu is already a true immortal monk?" Jing Zimo said via voice transmission.

"But in Xingluo City and the surrounding seven main cities, the real immortal monks all have names and surnames. I haven't heard of one called Lin Mu yet." Ji Xingchen said puzzled.

The three of them were full of thoughts, and Lin Zhu, who was playing chess with Ye Tian head-on, felt even more stressed.

Seeing another step that was calculated with great mental strength, Ye Tian made another step within ten breaths, Lin Zhu was already gritting his teeth secretly.

"It seems that I met an expert," Lin Zhu said expressionlessly, but deep fear had already arisen in his heart.

Dispelling all the thoughts in his heart, Lin Zhu focused all his mind on the chess game.

Ye Tianze still proceeded step by step at his own pace.

In fact, even if you don't mobilize your mental strength to use the simplest and boring exhaustive moves, Ye Tian's own chess strength is also extremely deep, no matter whether it is a routine or a skill, it is easy to come by.

For a moment, Ye Tian's leisurely and contented appearance also formed a very sharp contrast with Lin Zhu, who was staring at the chess game opposite him with bitterness and hatred.

Time passed slowly, from day to night, and after one night, the sun rose again.

Ye Tian's speed was very fast, but because of the fear in his heart, Lin Zhu played slower and slower. Up to now, he has only made more than forty moves, which means that the two sides have lost more than two dozen hands.

Among them, the time Ye Tian spent may not exceed half an hour in total.

Although this time is actually not too short, compared to the huge amount of time Lin Zhu spent in his long thinking, it seems to be as short as a white horse passing by.

But Lin Zhu, who was facing Ye Tian, ​​and Jing Zimo, who was watching, had already sensed that something was wrong.

During a night of watching chess, they finally overturned their initial views and began to change their attitudes.

"It seems that I was really worrying too much," Ji Xingchen shook his head lightly and said, "Friend Lin Mu's chess moves are scattered and chaotic, too arbitrary."

"Our exhaustion is to consider every spare point on the chessboard, think about the possibility of placing a piece on it, and then deduce the next step until the whole chess game is deduced. Among all the possibilities of placing a piece, look for The perfect step."

"But Fellow Daoist Lin Mu is not, so his move is very fast, so fast that we mistakenly think that his spiritual power has reached a terrifying level!" Lin Yu said, shaking his head slightly.

"So, Fellow Daoist Lin Mu shouldn't be pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger, and he's not a real immortal!" Jing Zimo said with a sigh.

"Let's look again, maybe there will be a turning point." Ji Xingchen said.

"It makes sense," several people nodded, and refocused on the chess game.

At this time, even Lin Zhu on the opposite side can see that Ye Tian's chess is not as perfect and orderly as if he used the exhaustive method.

But Ye Tian didn't change his way of playing, nor did he think about changing his way of playing.

In this chess game, he himself wanted to see his own chess strength, familiarize himself with the feeling of playing chess, and let himself start to devote himself to this matter.

Of course, Ye Tian didn't always settle so fast.

Sometimes, he will spend a long time thinking, but this kind of thinking has nothing to do with mental power, and it has nothing to do with the brutal exhaustion. The situation, come to find your own place.

To put it simply, suppose Ye Tian and Lin Zhu are calculating the height of a tower that pierces into the sky.

Lin Zhu was climbing up step by step, and then slowly added up the steps he had walked, and finally got a number.

Ye Tian, ​​on the other hand, has been standing at a very far place, watching the tower from a distance, and then using his own experience and skills to directly determine its height.

The former is from part to whole.

The latter, from the whole to the part

But it is very difficult for a mortal with superb chess skills to defeat a powerful monk who asks about the realm.

Slowly, as the number of pieces on the chessboard increased, Ye Tian seemed to be at a disadvantage.

Lin Zhu on the opposite side let out a sigh of relief and raised his head.

Although he has maintained a deadpan expression, his eyes were serious before, but now he is obviously relaxed.

The three onlookers saw that Lin Zhu had taken the lead in the situation, and they all relaxed.

After all, their moves are the same as Lin Zhu's, and their specific levels should be similar, while Ye Tian adopts different moves, playing as he pleases.

The difference between the two made the three of them subconsciously put themselves on Lin Zhu's side while watching chess.

If Lin Zhu really can't even play Ye Tian's game like this, doesn't it mean that their chess strength is not enough?

"Fellow Daoist Lin Mu's way of playing is still not enough. After this step, Fellow Daoist Lin Zhu's lead has reached the third eye, which is already a big lead. The characteristic of the exhaustive method is to fight steadily. There is no chance to keep the advantage." Jing Zimo said seriously.

"I'm really curious about the reason why Fellow Daoist Lin Mu chooses this method." Lin Yu folded his arms and said in a deep thought.

"No one chooses the weaker one when they know there is a better solution. I think the reason why Fellow Daoist Lin Mu didn't use the exhaustive method should be very clear." Ji Xingchen said slowly.

"In this way, isn't our previous guess just right? Fellow Daoist Lin Mu's cultivation is actually lower than imagined. He didn't pretend to be a pig and eat a tiger, and his cultivation was indeed deliberately hidden." Jing Zimo said.

"However, will Fellow Daoist Lin Mu find out that he is at a disadvantage and start mobilizing his mental power again? After all, Fellow Daoist Lin Zhu has already consumed a lot at this time, and Fellow Daoist Lin Mu is waiting for work at leisure," Ji Xingchen said suddenly.

"It's only used at this time, it's already too late!" Lin Yu said, a smile appeared on his face, in his opinion, Lin Zhu can already be said to have won.

Of course Ye Tian didn't have a way to change himself.

If a winning situation has started to emerge, what is the easiest response?

Ye Tian didn't have to think about it at all.

Destruction of course!

"Da!" Ye Tian took out a stick and landed in a position that no one else could have imagined.

This move hardly seemed to be made by Ye Tianxia, ​​his previous style of chess was arbitrary and full of beauty.

In the same way, it is not at all a landing point obtained by mobilizing mental power to exhaustively, because the chess laid down by exhaustive method is step-by-step, full of steady and boring feeling.

If one had to use one word to describe Ye Tian's move, it would be ugly.

Incomparably ugly, like a well-behaved human face, a horn suddenly grows outrageously, not only makes this face no longer beautiful and handsome, it is not even considered human, it becomes Yokai.

Lin Zhu on the opposite side also didn't expect Ye Tian to make such an ugly move, and he didn't recover for a while.

And the three onlookers were also stunned.

At this time, Ji Xingchen, who was still the most cultivated, saw some tricks, his face changed slightly, and he closed his eyes directly, and began to calculate this move in his mind.

"Using strength to break cleverness, this is how to break cleverness with strength." After half the salary, Ji Xingchen slowly opened his eyes, shook his head and smiled wryly.

"This may be the shortcoming of the exhaustive method. This method seems to be perfect, but it loses all possibilities and creativity. Fellow Daoist Lin Mu will choose his own method, and indeed he has some skills." After sighing , Ji Xingchen put away his expression, and slowly commented seriously.

"But it still can't change the result." Lin Yu said, staring at the chess game.

Yes, relying on this unexpected move, although Ye Tian successfully destroyed the previous situation, he led the advantage created by Lin Zhu's hard work to a complete situation.

However, under the steady and steady situation, Lin Zhu still slowly brought the situation back to the previous situation.

In the end, it took seven full days for this game of chess to finally end.

On the one hand, Ye Tian did cause Lin Zhu a lot of trouble, but Lin Zhu also seemed to know that if he continued like this, he would not be able to hold on to the end of the chess game, so he deliberately slowed down.

One hundred and thirty-three hands in the middle game, Lin Zhu won.

In fact, if Ye Tian could, he could have dragged on for more time. These more than one hundred steps and seven days had already pushed Lin Zhu to his limit, and he couldn't last any longer.

But Ye Tian thought that he had obtained what he wanted from this game of chess, so he took the initiative to admit defeat in the middle game.

This extremely difficult victory for Lin Zhu, for them, and for Jing Zimo and Ji Xingchen next to them, it was entirely through the object of Ye Tian that they brought out the correctness of their moves, so several people felt that they were right. Is quite satisfied.

Seeing Ye Tian's smile became sincere.

No one doesn't like a competitor who knows they are inferior to them.

Ye Tian didn't take this matter to heart, the chess game just now did open up his mind, and he had some new insights into the perfect control ability of Nanfeng, so his attention at this time was on In the sea of ​​consciousness, above the illusory ant nest.

In the eyes of Jing Zimo, Ji Xingchen and the Lin brothers, Ye Tian's appearance became the loss after defeat.

Therefore, several people spoke to comfort Ye Tian one after another, and against their will, they praised Ye Tian's chess skills as the strongest among them.

They were worried that Ye Tian would change his tactics during the Luo Tian Conference and use exhaustive methods in a down-to-earth manner. If he threatened them again at that time, he was very sincere in his words.

Ye Tian didn't have much intention to deal with these people, after chatting casually for a few words, he left.

As soon as Ye Tian left, the rest of the people said goodbye one after another, and went back to the small buildings arranged for them by Xingluo City.

After Ye Tian came back here, he directly entered the state of meditation.

This time, without thinking for a long time, Ye Tian opened his eyes.

In that chess game, Ye Tian basically relied on his intuition to make moves. In fact, this is similar to Nan Feng's perfect control.

The perception left by Nanfeng seems to be full of extremely complicated on the surface. Ye Tian spent a lot of energy to comprehend and think about it before, and wanted to transform those things into something that truly belonged to him.

Although there are some gains, they are still far from the realm of Nanfeng.

This made Ye Tian always think that if he wants to reach that step, he still needs a lot of time to grow and improve.

But in fact this has already begun to diverge.

Nanfeng's perfect control is due to its innate supernatural power, in essence, it is intuition.

Intuition is the fastest, the highest growth limit, and even the path that can reach an infinite level.

And through that game of chess, through thinking after the chess game, Ye Tian saw the possibility of transforming this control ability, the control ability he has achieved so far, which is only at the level of skill and brute force, into instinct.

Even, it has already started!

This also made Ye Tian look forward to the Luo Tian Conference in the future.

...

The day of the Luotian Conference really started. In the morning, Ye Tian and Nan Yao left the small building together, and rushed to the Tingyu Building that the deacon Lu Yuanzhou of Xingluo City had said that day.

The distance is not far, and it will come soon.

Tingyu Tower is not actually a building, it should be regarded as a relatively large pavilion, a stone platform about ten feet square, surrounded by four towering stone pillars, supporting the blue roof.

On the height of the front of the pavilion, there is a pair of plaques hanging, and there are three big characters written on it Tingyulou. At a glance, there is a sense of moisture.

Behind the Tingyu Tower is a strange and beautiful green mountain peak. When you walk around the Tingyu Tower, you can see a stone path behind it, leading to the cloud and mist on the mountainside.

Inside the Tingyu Building, it is empty, only a stone table and two futons are visited in the center.

A voice in a blue Taoist robe was sitting on one side of the stone table, with his back facing the front. All he could see was his stooped figure, white beard and hair, and his cultivation was about the late stage of a true immortal.

When Ye Tian and Nan Yao arrived, there were already many people in front of Tingyu Tower.

"Fellow Daoist Lin Mu is finally here," he was looking at the environment ahead, when he heard a laughing voice, it was Jing Zimo who greeted Ye Tian.

Beside him were Ji Xingchen and the Lin brothers whom he had seen before.

After coming in front of several people and greeting each other, their eyes all fell on Nan Yao.

"It turns out that Fellow Daoist Lin Mu didn't come alone," Lin Zhu said.

They were still speculating before, since Ye Tian was so weak that he didn't even use exhaustive methods, how did he pass the interception outside Xingluo City.

Now that they saw Nanyao, they immediately felt that they had the answer. They couldn't help but think that Ye Tianhe and Nanyao escaped from the attack outside Xingluo City together.

After all, there have been examples of the Lin brothers before, so it's hard not to think about it.

Ye Tian introduced Nan Yao to these people, and of course he mentioned Nan Feng's name, so they couldn't help but think of the monster named Nan Feng.

"Are we the only casual cultivators?" After getting to know each other, Ye Tian asked.

"Of course not," Jing Zimo knew that Ye Tian didn't even know Luo Tian's three rounds, so he took the initiative to explain: "It's only under the real immortals, just us."

"Those beings above the true immortals, if they want to come to the Luotian Conference, they have already been picked up by the strong men in Xingluo City." Ji Xingchen took the conversation, shook his head and said.

"As for the real immortals, all the existences except us should have been killed outside the city," Lin Yu said.

"For example, that one," Jing Zimo gestured for a location, where, surrounded by several people, there was a man in a green robe, and Ye Tian could see that his cultivation was at the early stage of a true immortal.

"His name is Zuo Yushan, and he is a famous casual cultivator within the Xingluo City." Jing Zimo said.

"There is also that one, named Xiang Song, who is also an extremely powerful swordsman, and he did not join Star Luo City."

"As for other strong men with names and surnames, Basic Mountain belongs to the disciples of Xingluo City and the surrounding seven main cities."

While talking, Ye Tian suddenly found an acquaintance in the distance.

It was Lu Yuanzhou who had met before and led Ye Tian and Nan Yao into Xingluo City.

At that time, Lu Yuanzhou claimed to be the deacon of the south gate of Xingluo City, and with a group of subordinates, he seemed to be bossy and arrogant.

But now Lu Yuanzhou's attitude is extremely respectful. His serious and gloomy face in front of Ye Tian and Nan Yao was full of apologetic smiles, and he cautiously followed behind a person.

Obviously, he was able to behave like this because of the man walking in front of him.

The man looked like he was in his twenties. He had a handsome face, and his cultivation had already reached the early stage of a true immortal. He was wearing a white Taoist robe with countless purple patterns painted on it, and he carried a sword box on his back.
