Chapter 1173
Outside the door, Xu Xiangbei took a brief look at the rules of the Phoenix City Go and Chess Tournament!

The Phoenix City Go and Chess Tournament was organized by the local Chinese. The content of the event was not complicated. The main purpose was for fellowship, and of course there was a lot of money.

After more than ten years of promotion, this competition is now well-known, and foreigners who are interested in this way often come to participate, which also adds a cultural landscape.

And domestic masters from all walks of life also come to participate in this competition. Xu Jiuzhi won the No.10 chess match three years ago, so he claims that his chess level is among the top ten in the world.

And this Phoenix City Go and Chess Tournament has an unprecedented scale, and many well-known chess players have been invited, including Xiaocang Health Care from Dongying Country, Bianchai Jia from Xingluo Country, and Pierre Hoffman from Apennines. Wait, we even invited Gu Shiyan, the No.1 Go player in the world today, from the Kingdom of Sam.

So this year's competition, not only was broadcast live on TV, but the winning prize also reached a million dollars!
When Xu Xiangbei was a child, he heard his father Xu Jiuzhi mention this master Gu Shiyan. It is said that this person is a master of Taoism. He was originally from the Central Plains. Defeated, known as a world-class chess master.

The reason why Xu Jiuzhi came here so eagerly was to witness the demeanor of this ancient chess master.

After completing the registration procedures, Xu Xiangbei and others stepped into the room and entered the venue.

At this time, the knockout round has not yet started, and all the spectators are busy finding seats to watch the game, and the contestants also use this time to relax and smoke.

The four of Xu Xiangbei also sat down. Before their buttocks warmed up, suddenly, a chatter from the side reached Xu Xiangbei's ears!

"Well, do you know? This year's competition is so exciting. Masters from Zhongzhou, Fusang, Dongying, Xingluo, Persia, and almost all the world have gathered together. It can be called a grand event in the chess world for a century!"

"No way, isn't the existence of Taishan Beidou like Chess Master Gu, only present as a judge? Could it be that he will also come to the arena in person?"

"Indeed, I heard that there are many rising stars in recent years. Even Master Gu is itching to test the abilities of the younger generation!"

Behind them, a group of reporters communicated in broken Chinese, which Xu Xiangbei could barely understand.

Xu Xiangbei smiled lightly, and began to close his eyes to rest his mind. Liu Qinhuai joked that both father and son should fight for a good ranking, enter the top eight, and go home to make dumplings.

On the host stage, the master of ceremonies appeared and spoke the opening speech in a gentlemanly manner.

Then Sima Yuan Fang, the veteran of the chess world, cut the ribbon and sounded the gong, announcing the start of the game.

"Before the start of the game, the old man will say a few more words." Sima Yuan Fang laughed, "First ask, have you ever said that ghosts and gods are entangled with pythons?"

"Ghosts and gods entangled with pythons? What is that?"

"I seem to have heard of it somewhere!"

"I have the impression that it is an ancient cage Go endgame in the Central Plains. It is said to be one of the five great endgames in the history of Yi Dao. No one can decide the outcome!"

"Oh, I see!"

The audience and contestants below were immediately whispering to each other.

"This is the situation where ghosts and gods are entangled with pythons, everyone can watch it first!" Sima Yuan Fang lifted the curtain on the electronic screen to display the endgame.

Everyone looked at the LCD monitor attentively, gesturing and trying to figure out, the higher the chess skill, the more dignified and serious the expression will be.

After an incense stick of time, Sima Yuanfang smiled again and said: "How about it, after watching it, everyone should know the difficulty of this endgame, and what I'm going to say next is related to this ghost and god entanglement situation!"

"We used a computer to simulate a similar game of ghosts and gods entangled with pythons!" Sima Yuanfang smiled and stroked his beard, and said, "If there is a master who can solve it with a unique way of thinking within half an hour, then he can get 30 A prize of ten thousand dollars!"

"$30?"

Hearing this, everyone immediately geared up, not only for the high stakes, but also for the honor.

It would definitely be an extraordinary honor to be the first to solve a problem in the competition.

Sima Yuanfang laughed and said, "Everyone can study the footwork ideas on the Internet to solve the problem of ghosts and gods entangled with pythons. With that set of ideas, you can easily solve this problem!"

Now that he reminded this point, everyone hastened to act and researched the ideas on the Internet to solve the situation of ghosts and pythons. Many of them had done relevant homework before, and now they are one step ahead, showing a determined smile on the corner of their mouths. .

"Ghosts and gods entangled with pythons, ghosts and gods entangled with pythons, found it!"

"I found it too!"

Soon, many people in the crowd cried out.

"It's amazing, it's really not a human mind to come up with such a solution!"

"The hand of gods, the hands of ghosts and gods!"

"What a ghost and god entangled with the python!" Xu Jiuzhi took the network diagram handed over by Concubine Bian Qing, looked at the moves above, his eyes glowed, and his mouth couldn't stop marveling.

Xu Xiangbei on one side closed his eyes slightly, and relaxed and closed his eyes to rest his mind, as if everything around him had nothing to do with him.

I solved this ghost and python trap half a year ago, and I didn't care about it after the incident, which was a boring work and a game in the taxi.

"Hey, this guy who unraveled the trap of ghosts and gods is named Xiejun Xu Xiangbei?" Xu Jiuzhi looked at the signed name again, his eyes straightened suddenly, and then he turned his head suddenly, looking at Xu Xiangbei. To the north, it seems to think of something.

Concubine Bian Qing was also a little stunned, she also covered her mouth and looked at Xu Xiangbei.

The evil king Xu Xiangbei, Xu Xiangbei, is this a coincidence?
"Xiaobei, don't tell me, this person is you?" Xu Jiuzhi looked at Xu Xiangbei and said suspiciously.

Xu Xiangbei stretched his waist, shrugged and said, "It's not me, who else?"

"I fall!"

Xu Jiu pointed to this veteran Jianghu man who was used to big battles, and almost slipped off his chair. Then he looked at Xu Xiangbei in disbelief, and stammered, "You, are you kidding me? It's really you , It was you who untied the trap of ghosts and gods entangled with pythons?"

"Hush, keep your voice down, I don't want to show off!" Xu Xiangbei raised an index finger to cover his mouth.

It can be said that Xu Jiuzhi's exclamation had already resounded throughout the venue. He used the Central Plains language, and there were many Chinese people in the venue, so many people heard his voice immediately.

There was an uproar!

The evil king Xu Xiangbei who untied the trap of ghosts and gods, is in this venue?

"I even wonder if you are my own son..." Xu Jiuzhi's eyeballs almost fell out.

He is good at chess, and also has an amateur third-dan level in Go. He also has a little research on the game of ghosts, gods and pythons, and he regards it as a god game in his heart.

In his opinion, the only one who can crack this kind of magic disk is Master Gu, who is a top-notch master. Maybe he changed his name to crack it for the sake of keeping a low profile. He didn't expect his son Xu Xiangbei to have such supernatural powers.

How could it be possible that my son Xu Xiangbei, who likes to cause trouble, is unruly and indulgent, and loves freedom, suddenly has his brain opened up, and he is able to master the mystery?

He thought it was just a fluke that Xu Xiangbei surpassed him for a short time when he taught him chess three days ago, but only now did he realize that it was simply a crush of strength.

"Xiao Bei, you are indeed my mother's proudest son! I knew that my parents' genetics would not be bad!" The mother on the side, Liu Qinhuai, smiled like a spring breeze, and it was more beneficial than eating ginseng.

Xu Xiangbei simply gave his mother another big gift, saying, "Mom, I will give you another 30 bonus later."

"Ah, haha! Why don't you make dumplings, go to the restaurant, let's have a big meal..." Liu Qinhuai laughed happily, and Xu Xiangnan's eyes couldn't help but shine.

Xu Jiuzhi also shouted excitedly, "You want to keep a low profile, Dad will help you, tell me the solution, Dad will go to receive the award, and show off, let Jushi Li and the others see my majesty, old Xu."

"Yes!" Xu Xiangbei smiled happily, then leaned to Xu Jiuzhi's ear, and whispered out his thoughts.

Xu Jiuzhi's old face was flushed with joy, and his eyes formed a line of laughter.

"Okay, the countdown is 5 minutes, everyone please prepare to solve the problem!" At this time, Sima Yuanfang announced the time to let everyone speed up.

Everyone was staring at the electronic screen tightly, but few people showed a smile, and they were still trying their best to solve the problem.

But at this moment.

"I'll be the first!" Xu Jiuzhi suddenly stood up and said loudly.

"What?" Sima Yuan Fang touched his gold-rimmed glasses, and when he saw Xu Jiuzhi stand up, he was a little stunned.

He was looking forward to it and surprised at the same time.

When they heard that someone had already solved the problem, everyone in the venue turned their heads in astonishment, and all the eyes of the audience were focused on Xu Jiuzhi.

The problem that hundreds of senior chess players in the audience were helpless, was actually solved by the old man who is over half a year old this year?

Sure enough, ginger is still old and spicy!
Sima Yuanfang and Master Gu on the rostrum looked at each other seriously, because even Master Gu spent a day and a night to solve this problem.

Is this old man stronger at chess than Master Gu?

Others may think that it is nothing special for someone to solve this problem, but they know it only after the event is held, and there are not five people in the world who can solve this mess.

"You come on stage to try?" Sima Yuanfang said in English, watching Xu Jiuzhi closely.

Concubine Bian Qing came onto the stage with Xu Jiuzhi on her arm. Xu Jiuzhi had a plan in mind, and when he went to the stage to play against the computer, the clouds flew like clouds.

Everyone in the arena, including Sima Yuanfang and Master Gu, were all engrossed in staring at his move, for fear of missing a move.

There were hundreds of people in the entire venue, but it was so quiet that one could even hear a copper coin fall on the ground.

It didn't take long for Xu Jiuzhi to complete the remaining 80 or so moves. Black conceded defeat in the middle of the game, and white succeeded in slaying the dragon!
He did it!
Everyone was dumbfounded, staring at the excited Xu Jiuzhi in the arena. Many people's mouths were big enough to fit a steamed stuffed bun.

Xu Jiuzhi smiled coyly, his whole body was refreshed, he was more proud than when he was young when he went to the Guandong and singled out the Eighteenth Lianhuan Village.

Sima Yuan Fang stared at the black chess played on the computer and conceded the defeat. He was also stunned for a while, then his eyes gradually turned respectful, and then he said to Xu Jiuzhi in a pious tone: "May I ask the master's name?"

"Thirty years ago, people in China called him Chuanxi Broadsword Xu, but now he dares to call him Xu Jiuzhi in China Street!" Xu Jiuzhi hurriedly expressed his humility. He knew that Sima Yuan Fang was a friend of Master Gu, and Master Gu was his idol in the chess world.

Sima Yuan Fang still respectfully said, "Master Xu, please wait a moment, I will ask someone to collect the bonus check!"

"Haha, it's okay, I have time!" Xu Jiu pointed out that in the past years, he ventured into the rivers and lakes and started a family business. In fact, hundreds of thousands of dollars were not in his sights, otherwise he would not have the capital to live in seclusion in Yinlong Manor Life.

And what Liu Qinhuai said earlier about taking bonuses to go to restaurants, etc., was also a joke.

Sima Yuanfang and Master Gu looked at each other, and said a little puzzled, "Looking at the master's moves, he is as agile as a god, moving freely, and his skill is even better than the ghosts and pythons before. Please enlighten me."

Everyone also stared closely at Xu Jiuzhi, pricking up their ears to hear the master's experience,

"Haha, in fact, the one who really solved the mess is not me, Xu Dadao, but my son Xu Xiaodao!" Xu Jiuzhi looked at the hundreds of year-old expectant eyes of the audience, knowing that he could no longer hide it, and regained his free and easy nature, and said frankly.

"Xu Xiaodao?" When Sima Yuanfang heard this, Monk Zhang Er was puzzled.

"That's right, my son's nickname is Xu Xiaodao, that is, the evil king Xu Xiangbei you mentioned!" Xu Jiuzhi raised his finger to Xu Xiangbei!
Everyone's gazes followed Xu Jiuzhi's direction like a TV remote control.
