Chapter 470 The God of Go is born, with a strong initial luck and the first orange luck

Between heaven and earth, there are only black and white.

Xing Luo dropped the chess piece in his hand, emitting a dazzling light. He recalled the moment he first came into contact with Go.

At that time he didn't understand what it was.

Duke Li stood in the square, without any airs of a duke, and explained to everyone what Go was.

"Go is a microcosm of the ultimate truth of heaven and earth."

"Although this chessboard has only 19 lines, it contains countless variations."

"The two sons of black and white are like the yin and yang of heaven and earth, opposing each other, yet complementing each other."

“The essence of Go lies not in attacking, but in layout, strategy, and making choices.”

"This chessboard is like the four corners of heaven and earth, the four corners are the foundation, and the center is the vast plain."

"The way of chess is like the rise and fall of a country."

"Anyone want to give it a try?"

Duke Liguo's voice was very gentle, and the nobles present all showed hesitation. They wondered if it would be disgraceful for them to go on stage.

Everyone found it difficult to make a choice for a moment.

Xing Luo quickly raised his hand and shouted:
"I, I'll do it!"

He was originally an inconspicuous poor boy in Beijing, but the moment he saw the game of Go, he was fascinated and raised his hand incredulously.

The other nobles all frowned and scolded:
"Why did this poor boy come to this place?"

"Guards, get him out of here."

When Duke Liguo came out to talk about chess, naturally there were many nobles who came to support him. No matter what he talked about, someone said that Duke Liguo wanted to have fun with the people and invited many citizens, including this young man in sackcloth.

If the poor man stood quietly on the stage and listened to the lecture, these nobles might still accommodate him. But he jumped out and seized the opportunity that originally belonged to the nobles, which made the nobles immediately dissatisfied.

Duke Liguo immediately waved his hand and said:

"Everyone be quiet."

"This time we are here to promote Go. No matter if you are a noble or a commoner, everyone is qualified to learn and master this technique."

Duke Li Guo showed a gentle smile:

"Young man, come up."

The Xingluo boy swallowed his saliva, mustered up his courage, walked onto the platform, and began his relationship with Go.

Duke Liguo played two games and showed a surprised look:
"Young man, you really have never learned Go?"

Xing Luo shook his head:

"Sir, I just think these chess pieces are beautiful."

Duke Li Guo's eyes flashed with surprise, and he said softly:
"Then you are born to play Go."

"I will train you to become a great chess player, as long as you keep working hard."

Xing Luo was confused at the time and blurted out:
"But I still have to work in the workshop."

Duke Li Guo smiled and said:
"no need."

"From today on, you will live like a local tycoon, no, even like a noble."

……

"The champion of the first Tianyuan Chess Tournament, Xing Luo!"

"He fought fiercely with Mr. Mo Lin for seven days and seven nights, and finally won the championship with a difference of half a point!"

"He is only seventeen years old now, a true young genius!"

Duke Li Guo was amazed at the disciple he had carefully trained.

He defeated the spirit with his mortal body and achieved incredible achievements, as if there were ghosts and gods protecting him from behind.

Xing Luo said with some stuttering:
"I, I'm just lucky."

"If Mr. Molin had been more careful, I would have been the loser."

……

The 2nd Tianyuan Chess Tournament

Duke Li Guo stood on the stage, looking at the legend he was forging, and shouted loudly:

“Another great victory.”

"Xing Luo defeated [Daoist Master Tianyi] of the Tiandao Sect and became the defending champion."

……

The 10th Tianyuan Chess Tournament.

Duke Li Guo once again presented the award to Master Xing Luo, and he felt sincerely happy about the growing chess academy, the increasing number of chess players, and the cohesion of chess.

"As the champion of the Tianyuan Chess Tournament for ten consecutive times, he will become an eternal legacy."

"I am very honored to present the award to Dr. Xing."

"The saint has issued an edict, conferring upon Xing Luo the title of chess saint."

Xing Luo looked at the people in the audience, including earls, marquis, viscount, and many children who admired him and became chess players.

No one called him a poor boy anymore. The dignitaries all liked to interact with him, using him as a symbol of culture and to establish a relationship with Duke Liguo.

Compliments from nobles and admiration from disciples, life is like this, what else could one ask for?
He began to indulge in the nobles' invitations, banquets, and guidance.

Any noble who wanted to invite him to play a game of chess had to prepare a fee of at least 10,000 taels of silver, and countless people wanted to send their children to him and make him their disciple.

He has money to learn martial arts. Even if he has no talent for martial arts, he can still become a master of Yuandan realm by relying on the accumulation of resources.

Until that day, he defeated his apprentice Liu Wenxuan with great difficulty.

Although he won, Xing Luo felt lost.

Because his chess skills had declined, too many banquets, too many social interactions, and a life of luxury and luxury made him no longer obsessed with playing chess.

wrong!

Xing Luo saw his chess piece, and there was no light.

That day Xing Luo suddenly burst into tears.

He ignored the opposition of Duke Li Guo, gave up his past glory, and went far away to seek the pinnacle of chess.

It’s just that the lost luck in chess can never be regained.

Originally, he had monopolized the chess fortunes of the human race, and was expected to achieve the power of ghosts and gods with a mortal body, but he gave up halfway and lost the protection of humanity.

The dragon vein of the human race will never belong to just one person.

When you are lazy and slack, you are like a swordsman who no longer practices swordplay, and the Sword God will no longer favor you.

Until his death, he was unable to regain the favor of chess.

The last three words Xing Luo wrote on the chess book were - I'm sorry.

He sincerely confessed to Qidao. This unwillingness and self-blame made Xingluo wake up again across time and meet Chu Wujiang.

Xing Luo seemed to have condensed into a physical entity, and whispered to Chu Wujiang:
"I thought that God's grace would allow me to return to the pinnacle of chess."

"But I was wrong. God wanted me to witness and cultivate the true God of Go."

Chu Wujiang placed a white piece and said softly:
"Master, chess is played by two people."

"Mr. Shenmo already has top-notch strength, and with the ability to predict the future, he is even more extraordinary."

"But she's not a real chess player."

Shen Mo sat on the armchair with his legs dangling in the air, his fair little feet swinging restlessly.

As she wandered around, she peeked at the birth of the God of Go.

As a result, when Chu Wujiang said this to him, Shen Mo's cheeks couldn't help but puff up like a meat bun.

angry!

But she continued to look at the Yantian Mirror.

Chu Wujiang didn't care whether Shen Mo was angry or not, and said softly:

"One cannot reach the pinnacle of chess alone."

Xing Luo showed a bitter smile:
"Yes, it's such a simple truth, but I have been confused for hundreds of years."

"Although Shenmo and Miss Ming are not true chess players, their chess skills have touched the highest realm, which is why the Marquis can break through in one fell swoop."

"If I had trained more disciples earlier, why would I have waited until today?"

Chu Wujiang smiled and said:

"That's enough for now."

The two men placed their pieces lightly, and the moment the pieces fell, an astonishing light flashed.

This is the light of chess.

The chess players in the living room were very excited when they saw the light.

Especially Liu Wenxuan, he suddenly shouted as if he had an idea:

"teacher!"

Everyone subconsciously wanted to break into the private room.

Chu Wujiang waved his hand, and his voice reached outside the door:

"You don't have to crowd. The chess match between me and Master Xing Luo will be broadcast live."

"Wait outside the door."

Chu Wujiang’s vital energy was so vast that he directly formed a huge chessboard in the living room, just like the chess game explained on TV in his previous life.

Shen Mo quickly sent a message and said:

[Champion Hou, I will make the arrangements for you, all you have to do is focus on the competition! ]

Chu Wujiang nodded and said:

[Okay! Please inform Duke Liguo on my behalf.]

【Tell him to be careful of Fengya Pavilion’s movements.】

[The God of Go is about to be born. 】

As Chu Wujiang spoke, he released his vitality. Shen Mo picked up the mirror, held his breath, and used the formation to form a chess game, explaining it to the chess players.

The chess players looked at the chessboard in the living room, watching the chess pieces fall one by one, and the chess pieces emitted dazzling light.

Suddenly, Liu Wenxuan knelt down, followed by Jiang Hao, Dong Ying, and even Liu Xinqi and others.

No one asked them to do this.

They looked up at the chessboard with an expression of reverence, not even daring to breathe.

The chess players were afraid of disturbing the other players' game.

The chess pieces are intertwined, and the momentum is as strong as a rainbow.

Chu Wujiang's white pieces advanced steadily, like a solid fortress, leaving no chance for the enemy.

However, Xing Luo's black spots were like kites, agile and changeable. The dragon-slaying sword of the past had become a fast sword, vaguely gaining the upper hand.

Master Xing Luo smiled:
"My Lord, teaching and learning go hand in hand."

"These days, I have been learning, especially the decisive battle between you and Mr. Shenmo."

Every move made by Master Xing Luo has been honed to the peak. Hundreds of years of thinking, continuous mutual learning, and regaining the favor of chess luck have made his chess skills have a qualitative leap.

Chu Wujiang also smiled:

"I am not like the master who has devoted himself to the way of chess."

"But my fortune is flourishing."

The Princess of Wei was defeated in the battle, her luck collapsed, and her chess luck was transferred to Chu Wujiang.

Not only that, the [Seven Apertures Exquisite Heart], [One Mind, One Hundred Uses] and other related fortunes in Chu Wujiang's body are all running at high speed.

The reason why Chu Wujiang was able to reach the pinnacle of Go in such a short period of time is because he has all the skills.

The transition between offense and defense was a matter of millimeters.

Both of them rehearsed hundreds of chess moves in their minds, and pictures of chessboards appeared in their minds.

They don't care how devoutly other chess players worship them; they just want to achieve the purest victory.

boom!
Chu Wujiang can always find the opponent's flaws at critical moments.

However, Xing Luo relied on his keen sense of chess and used agile moves to counterattack Chu Wujiang.

Mutual exchange.

The two sides were biting each other tightly.

Everyone outside the living room was stunned.

If every move made by Chu Wujiang made them feel flawless, then every move made by Master Xing Luo gave them hope of victory.

Each chess player is racking his brains, trying to keep up with the other's thinking.

A chess player suddenly fell down and his body began to twitch due to over-exerting his brain.

Liu Xinqi hurriedly ordered:
"Quick, get the tranquilizing pills!"

Originally, Liu Xinqi had been prepared, but she did not expect that just watching the game would be so unbearable for the chess players.

The maids hurriedly fed the fallen chess player elixirs.

"Carry him down."

The chess player shouted excitedly:

"No, I'm not leaving!"

"Even if I die, I will die here."

Jiang Hao couldn't help but scold:
"Keep your voice down!"

It is impossible for normal chess players to pay full attention when watching a chess game. They will compete in a relaxed manner.

Now these chess players are fully committed to it.

As long as they can understand the game, their chess skills will increase significantly.

If you just watch how the two of them play, naturally there won't be much pressure.

These chess players put themselves into both sides, think about each move, and then the two of them give the answer.

Every chess player's brain is working rapidly.

thump.

A chess player fell down, and the maid quickly fed him medicine.

One, two, three, four...

The chess players who were watching fell down one after another.

Only the powerful Yuanshen and Liu Wenxuan and others were left. They also felt heart failure and dizziness when looking at the chess game.

They will never forget the chess game in front of them for the rest of their lives.

Chu Wujiang and Master Xing Luo jointly performed the highest level of competition for the human race.

The situation gradually became clear.

Chu Wujiang is better in calculation ability, while Master Xingluo is more sensitive in chess sense.

The auras of both sides were heightened to the extreme, and Fengya Pavilion in the Duke Liguo Mansion was shaking violently.

The last moment is coming.

Chu Wujiang took a deep breath and placed the most crucial white piece onto the chessboard.

Boom!

Hear thunder in a silent place.

Infinite light illuminated the entire room. Even the unconscious Princess Wei could see a beam of light from the chess path.

The sky of victory has tilted.

Master Xing Luo's face changed. Both parties have calculated all the steps to come.

Lock the ending.

Master Xing Luo said in a deep voice:
"This game of chess will end in two hundred and eighty-five moves."

"White won by half a point, so I lost."

Along with Master Xing Luo's sigh, the chess luck contained in Fengya Pavilion was completely transformed, and the huge purple chess luck was condensed at this moment.

Orange chess luck emits a dazzling orange light.

In the original way of chess, purple luck was the limit, but now the competition between the two has stimulated the improvement of chess, and Chu Wujiang's last move was the finishing touch.

Fang Fusheng didn't care about being exposed, he shouted hurriedly:

[Master Demon, please act quickly. 】

This Demon Lord suddenly lost his voice.

damn it.

What an unreliable guy.

[I am the son of the prime minister, and Duke Liguo dare not kill me.]

【Don’t miss this opportunity! 】

Fang Fusheng's face changed. After being beaten repeatedly by Chu Wujiang, his desire for power finally seemed to overcome his reason.

Fang Fusheng quietly released the demon seed, intending to possess the newly born God of Go.

This is the body of a ghost, the only chance for it to parasitize.

At this moment, Duke Liguo suddenly shouted:
"Youngest son of the Fang family, what are you doing?"

what are you doing!
The roar of the powerful Yuanshen contained a pure yang aura, and Fang Fusheng's demon seed was instantly shattered to the ground.

puff!
Many people vomited blood tonight, and Fang Fusheng was no exception.

At the critical moment of his parasitism, he heard the roar of his soul and almost lost his soul.

[This demon lord is totally unreliable! ]

【He lied to me! 】

A trace of ruthlessness emerged on Fang Fusheng's face. He quickly used his vital energy to severely damage his intestines and stomach, causing him to vomit three liters of blood!

This most dissolute playboy in the capital was quite resourceful. When he saw that his plan had failed, he quickly injured himself severely to cover up his actions.

"Fang family kid?"

Duke Liguo was shocked when he saw this. It would be terrible if he died in the Liu family mansion.

He quickly activated his magic power to protect Fang Fusheng's heart meridian, and at the same time covered the entire Fengya Pavilion, not allowing anyone to approach!
At this time, the chess luck that Duke Liguo had cultivated for many years was finally about to transform into a ghost and possess Chu Wujiang.

Chu Wujiang can choose to become a ghost, like the Goddess of Witches, and transform into a spirit between heaven and earth, unable to interfere with reality, but able to accept the worship of the world.

Only the devil agrees!

Chu Wujiang felt the call of the God of Go and had no intention of transforming into a ghost or god. He was not interested even in high-level ghosts and gods like the God of Killing and the God of War, let alone the mere God of Go.

This is too small and cannot accommodate Chu Wujiang.

He chuckled and said:
"Master Xing Luo, this game of chess has not yet determined the winner."

"You said that I won, but that was because I used the current method. Black had to pay 7.5 points."

"In fact, if Black gives 7.5 points, White will have a higher chance of winning."

"If we use the old method, the black handicap is 6.5 points, and the grandmaster will win by half a point."

Go is not about equal advantages, the advantage of going first is too great.

If the player plays black first, he has to give white pieces a bonus of 7.5 points to maintain the winning rate for both sides.

But this winning rate is still unfair and does not reach the 50% effect.

For example, in the eyes of artificial intelligence, the number of handicap points affects the outcome to a certain extent.

Black has a handicap of 7.5 points and an initial winning rate of 40%.

Black has a handicap of 7 points and an initial winning rate of 48%.

Black has a handicap of 6.5 points and an initial winning rate of 56%.

Chu Wujiang now also agrees with this calculation, which is the same as his physical feeling.

Chu Wujiang chuckled and said:
"So it wasn't the master who lost to me, but he lost to the rules."

Master Xing Luo couldn't help but smile bitterly:

"My Lord, this is a chance to become a god."

“No matter how many people beg for it, it won’t come true.”

"If I can become a ghost or god, I won't be immortal, but as long as the incense is still there, I can continue."

Chu Wujiang smiled and said:

"Those are ghosts and gods, not people."

"I don't need it. I'm afraid Master Xing Luo doesn't like it very much either."

Master Xing Luo pondered and said:
"I would rather pursue the art of chess as a seeker than become a ghost or god."

"There are a hundred ways to play chess, but I only know seven."

Master Xing Luo is a ghost god, but he is a ghost god formed by years of belief and unwillingness in the chess world. He is different from the God of Go who controls the entire chess world.

He also doesn't want to become a ghost.

The spirit of the God of Go felt aggrieved.

It wants to possess the two most outstanding chess players.

As a result, both of them became disgusted with it.

Chu Wujiang smiled and said:
“But this is an opportunity.”

"If we don't merge with the ghosts and gods, they will develop their own will and waste a lot of luck."

"Hasn't Master Xing Luo always wanted to repay Duke Li's kindness?"

"I have already said that chess is played by two people."

"Without Master Xing Luo's help along the way, the God of Go could not have been achieved."

Master Xing Luo was now convinced by Chu Wujiang. He nodded slightly and said:
"I will pass this fortune on to the Marquis and the Duke."

Master Xing Luo closed his eyes and chose to accept the divinity of the God of Go.

The good fortune in Fengya Pavilion finally found an outlet and all concentrated on Master Xingluo. These initial good fortunes that constitute the God of Go made the entire room emit infinite light.

A large amount of chess luck was integrated into Master Xingluo's body, turning him into a god. From then on, chess had a clear object of prayer.

Then Master Xing Luo divided the orange luck into two parts. He did not leave any for himself. He gave one part to Chu Wujiang and the other part to Duke Li Guo.

Chu Wujiang accepted this fruitful result, and Master Xingluo directly sent him a huge amount of orange luck, causing the corresponding words to quickly appear in the heavenly book.

[800 points of orange luck detected. ]

[Note that this is the initial orange luck, and the best effect can be achieved by using it as a whole.]

Go is a minor sport and its development has its limits.

For example, Chu Wujiang remembered that if he wanted to become a killing god, he needed to activate the silver luck to have a chance to become a killing god. (Note: Chapter 434)
It is much easier to become the God of Go; you can become one with orange luck.

But Chu Wujiang still won't underestimate this force.

Since they are the original orange destiny, they must be earth-shattering.

However, Chu Wujiang was not in a hurry to improve his chess luck. Instead, he looked at Master Xing Luo and asked:
"Master, how do you feel?"

Master Xing Luo smiled and said:

“It feels really good.”

"I can draw the power of the earth veins and form a chess vein in Fengya Pavilion."

"From today on, the chess veins can continue to generate chess luck, and then share it with the Marquis and the Duke."

Chu Wujiang certainly didn't think that he should swallow up all the luck in chess. Duke Liguo promoted Go for hundreds of years and built large formations to gather the luck in chess, which led to the birth of the Go tradition.

The chess veins have to revolve around Fengya Pavilion to absorb the earth veins, just like the cultural veins of the Imperial College.

A smile appeared on Chu Wujiang's face:
"This is an advantage for me."

If Chu Wujiang had not existed, these good fortunes would have continued to accumulate, and one day the God of Go would have been born, and humanity's exploration of the way of Go would have continued.

But Chu Wujiang's move greatly advanced the birth of the God of Go.

If he knew the Demon Lord's plan, he would immediately understand that the Demon Lord intended to let Fang Fusheng swallow the chess veins. Even if they were not as good as the dragon veins, they were still a great tonic.

All great ways have the same origin.

The chess vein is also considered a branch of the dragon vein.

It’s a pity that Master Xing Luo turned into a ghost and controlled the entire chess line, and the best opportunity has been missed.

Master Xing Luo also smiled and said:

"I still want to play chess with you, Lord Marquis."

"It's just that my victory now is unfair. I will discuss chess with you later after I have separated the two."

Chu Wujiang nodded with a smile:
"no problem."

Just as the two of them agreed to continue playing chess in the future, the Princess of Wei couldn't help but utter a groan. Chu Wujiang immediately separated a wisp of his devilish thoughts, knocked her out again, and put her into the Qiankun Gourd.

This vicious woman is from the Sima family. She must have many secrets. Let’s catch her first.

As for Sima Ying, he was still in a coma and could not save his aunt.

Master Xing Luo saw all this and decided to remain silent. He said softly:

"My Lord, I don't have much time left."

"After I became a ghost god, I can no longer appear in front of the Marquis..."

Ghosts and gods are spiritual beings, and every time they appear, they have to pay a heavy price.

Master Xing Luo gave all his luck in chess to Chu Wujiang and Duke Liguo, and was in a weak state.

"Master!"

Prince Liu finally couldn't help but knock on the door.

Master Xing Luo relied on the last bit of his physical body to appear in front of Master Liu.

Prince Liu's eyes suddenly filled with tears, and he quickly bowed and said:
"Master, I am incompetent and cannot keep the title of Chess Saint."

In fact, in terms of single-round Tianyuan tournament championships, Prince Liu has five more than Master Xingluo, but he has not been able to win the Tianyuan chess tournament championship for ten consecutive times like Master Xingluo.

This has always bothered him.

Master Xing Luo smiled and said:

"Wenxuan, you need to be yourself and stop imitating your teacher."

"Even if you win ten championships, or eleven or even more, can you surpass me?"

No.

As an early pioneer with historical significance, Master Xing Luo defined and improved the way of playing Go. Most of the fixed patterns and moves were created by him.

No matter how hard Liu Wenxuan tried, he could not catch up with his master.

Master Xing Luo said soothingly:

"Just be yourself. You still have Champion Hou as your mentor. You should consider him as your teacher."

Now not only Liu Wenxuan, but also the masters of Tianjing chess world shouted in unison:

"We respect the Champion Marquis as our master."

Master Xing Luo then left with great satisfaction. He was about to turn into a ghost, and he just wanted to see his old friend again before disappearing.

……

Liguogong Mansion, Fengya Pavilion
Master Xing Luo said softly:

"My Lord, long time no see."

Seeing an old friend again, Duke Liguo showed a hint of excitement on his face:
"I knew you would become the God of Go."

"I accept the chess luck you sent me."

Master Xing Luo shook his head and said:
"All this is thanks to the help of Champion Hou."

It's you again.

When Fang Fusheng heard that this matter was related to Chu Wujiang, he became so anxious that he fainted.

Master Xing Luo continued:

"So I control this part of the chess vein, and I am willing to hand over a part to the Champion Marquis, and the other part to the Duke."

Duke Li Guo nodded and said:
"No problem, I agree."

Master Xing Luo smiled and said:

"Thank you, Your Excellency the Duke."

After Master Xing Luo finished speaking, he disappeared into Fengya Pavilion, transformed into a ghost, and became the God of Go.

Duke Liguo looked at Xing Luo's disappearing figure and said softly:
"The initial luck of chess, I finally got it."

"But it's too late. Ten years too late."

Duke Li said something incomprehensible, then grabbed Fang Fusheng and walked towards the secret room in the Duke's Mansion.

……

Master Xingluo has disappeared. Chu Wujiang can still communicate with the God of Go through the luck of [Go Soul] in the future, but he can no longer squander it as recklessly as before.

The legendary night seemed to be coming to an end.

Chu Wujiang sat in front of the chessboard and muttered silently:
[Book of Heaven, improve my chess rank.]

[All your luck is put into it. ]

This time, Chu Wujiang gained a full 800 points of orange chess luck, and it was the most special initial chess luck.

Normally, Chu Wujiang expected that the orange chess luck would produce chess luck like [Chess Saint], [Stone Buddha], and [Robber God].

These moves represent the highest level of Go.

But the initial chess luck is obviously not that simple.

Chu Wujiang will put all his effort into it this time.

As expected, 800 points of orange chess luck turned into a dazzling chess luck seed. The original chess luck seed was much dimmer than the equivalent luck.

This time, the orange light was the only one Chu Wujiang had ever seen in his life. Under the entire orange light, there was a faint silver luster.

If they go one step further, they will transform into silver luck.

Boom!

Chu Wujiang's sea of ​​consciousness vibrated violently, which produced a strong resonance with Fengyating.

Three options slowly emerged from the Heavenly Book:

[Trance (Orange)]: [With no distractions in mind, the player forgets himself in the game and becomes a ghost or god, becoming the true god of Go.]

[God's Move (Orange)]: [Inspiration surges, as if with divine help, the player seems to be guided by the God of Go in the game, and every move is like a stroke of genius, gaining the greatest advantage.]

[Winning by Half a Move (Orange)]: [A desperate situation is reversed, and the chess player breaks out of the game. When facing ghosts and gods, he unleashes his unlimited potential and challenges the limits of the gods. With the wisdom of a mortal and the difference of half a move, he subverts the gods.]

Chu Wujiang looked at these three options and couldn't help but sigh. It was indeed the initial luck, extraordinary.

He began to analyze subconsciously:

[The first destiny, becoming a god, I just rejected it, there is no reason to agree. ]

[The second luck is to get divine help. Master Xing Luo is my friend. I don’t need any more.]

[The third destiny, challenging the gods, is very much to my liking.]

So I choose the third one.

Chu Wujiang wanted to be the emperor of men and use humanity to fight against the unpredictability of nature, so naturally he had to [win half a step over nature].

(End of this chapter)
