"Never heard of it …"
However, the old man's expression did not change at all. He continued to play chess while responding to Qin Fang's question in a flat tone.
But was this really the case?
Obviously not!
Qin Fang had already noticed that when the old man heard the name of Qian Men Go, his hand trembled a little.
"It really is you …"
The old man concealed this subtle change very well, but there was no way to avoid Qin Fang's attention. It immediately allowed Qin Fang to determine the old man's identity.
From the moment Qin Fang saw this strange old man, he had been paying attention to him. It was not that he was interested in chess, but it was entirely because he had almost reached the peak of the advanced detection skill, but there was still no way to detect the identity of this strange old man.
This was a very unusual thing … Qin Fang hadn't met many people whose information he couldn't detect until now. But it turned out that almost every person like this was not simple.
Qian Men was a very large and mysterious sect. It was impossible to understand the vastness of such a sect if one was not a member of it.
After thousands of years of reproduction, the original branches of Qian Men had become more and more. Although no one publicly carried the banner of Qian Men, it was impossible to deny the fact that they were branches of Qian Men.
And within the Thousand Gates, there were many different kinds of strange people. Every famous person had their own unique skills or had some special hobbies.
For example, the Qian Men Go that Qin Fang mentioned just now was one of them …
Qian Men Go was born in one of the branches of Qian Men, Qian Men Dun Jia Sect. What he learned was the art of Qian Men Dun Jia. However, this person was very fond of Go, so he integrated his lifelong learning into Go. In addition, he was not young, so he had the name of Qian Men Go.
Qian Men Go, in terms of strength, might just be an old man who looked like he had one foot in the grave. However, if anyone dared to laugh at such an old man, then they would definitely die a very ugly death.
The Qimen Dunjia Sect was a very monstrous sect within the Thousand Gates. This sect was proficient in the Qimen Dunjia Technique, and their mastery of various array formations was particularly profound.
In the history of Long Province, the most famous Zhuge Kongming, whose intelligence was close to that of a demon, was actually born in the Qimen Dunjia Sect. His Eight Front Formation almost shocked the world.
Qian Men Go might not be able to catch up with Zhuge Kongming in terms of formations, but he had integrated a lot of illusory formations into his chess skills. When playing chess with him, just looking at the moving chess pieces would make people unknowingly fall into an illusory world and be unable to extricate themselves …
If one fell into it for a short period of time, there wouldn't be much of an impact. However, if one was unable to extricate themselves for a long time, one would eventually be completely lost in this illusion until one's mind completely collapsed, and one would commit suicide …
This was not a joke. It was the truth.
There were many illusory arrays in the Eight Front Formation that trapped many of Sima Yi's soldiers. In the end, they all died at the hands of their own people …
If Zhuge Kongming's lifespan wasn't nearing its end, the Eight Front Formation would definitely be able to turn Western Shu's defeat into victory …
These were all legends in history. Whether they were true or not, at least Qin Fang couldn't verify them. There was no need to investigate further. However, Qin Fang had heard of this person, Qian Men Go.
He had the Qian Men Talisman in his hand and obtained some information about the Qian Men from the swindler surnamed Li. That was how he knew the name of Qian Men Go.
At first, Qin Fang was just a little curious. He wasn't very sure of the old man's identity. He just thought that he was a chess fanatic who liked to play chess.
However, when the old man invited Qin Fang to play chess and really began to appreciate the peerless chess skills of the old man, Qin Fang finally confirmed the old man's identity.
The seemingly ordinary chess game was actually filled with hidden murderous intent.
Outsiders would feel a little overwhelmed after looking at the chess game for a while. As one of the parties involved, Qin Fang's pressure at this time could be imagined.
Almost every step was equivalent to entering an illusory array. If he couldn't break out in a short time, his mind was likely to be lost.
Therefore, Qin Fang was very cautious and careful with every step. He didn't dare to make any mistakes for fear that he would fall into the old man's illusory array.
However, the old man himself wasn't relaxed. Every step that Qin Fang took seemed useless, but it also had the effect of reversing the situation.
The illusory array that was originally targeted at Qin Fang had an instant reversal under every step that Qin Fang took. Those illusory arrays seemed to have surrendered to Qin Fang and immediately turned to deal with him.
Although he was an array master and was very proficient in chess, in the face of such a young man with such a high level of skill, even if he was known as the Thousand Gate Chess Master, he had to be careful at this time.
This was a confrontation between thousands of techniques. It was very thrilling and very violent, even though outsiders couldn't see the slightest bit of intensity in the fight.
But in fact, both sides didn't dare to relax at all …
Because if either side relaxed, the other side would have an opportunity to take advantage of. If they were careless, they would immediately fall into the trap …
Qin Qing also felt that something was wrong, but when she saw Qin Fang's serious look and the old man's solemn expression, she couldn't say the words that were on the tip of her tongue.
She wanted to see how the chess game was going, but she really didn't know much about chess and couldn't see anything. Those illusory arrays naturally had no effect on her.
Tang Feifei, on the other hand, was extremely nervous. From the moment she realized that the Go game was not ordinary and Qin Fang specifically mentioned the name "Thousand Gate Chess Master", she already knew that the old man in front of her was not simple.
The chess game was still going on, and the two people were still fighting fiercely. Qin Fang's forehead had already begun to sweat a little, and his back had also begun to become wet.
Although it seemed to be a competition of brain power, in fact, it was also a considerable consumption of the body.
The use of the Thousand Technique also required the support of a medium, but this medium was very illusory and was a mysterious thing that was difficult for humans to understand.
Qin Fang was also quite fortunate. His Thousand Technique skill was now extremely close to the intermediate level, but he had the Thousand Possibilities Ring in his hand, which could increase the level of the Thousand Techniques by one thousand, which meant that Qin Fang now had an advanced Thousand Technique skill.
In addition, Qin Fang had the detection skill, which was a demonic skill similar to the Eye of Truth. He could make the most accurate analysis of the illusory arrays on Chessboard Mountain.
In this way, Qin Fang would not make a wrong move and cause himself to fall into an illusory array.
But at the same time, he was also studying these illusory arrays, hoping that while he was not fooled, he could also trick the old man.
However, it was obvious that this was not a very easy thing to do.
The old man's identity, if Qin Fang guessed correctly, should be the Thousand Gate Chess Master, who was famous for his chess skills in the Thousand Gate Chess Master.
Not only was this old man's level in illusory arrays very high, but his chess skills were also very high.
He integrated the illusory array into his chess skills, which made playing chess an extremely dangerous thing. If one was not careful, one would suffer a disaster …
Both of them were very skilled, and Qin Fang was just a half-baked apprentice. Even if he had a lot of help, it would not be so easy to trick the old man.
"Checkmate!"
It was obviously impossible to trick the old man and let him suffer the consequences of his own actions. However, Qin Fang's level of chess skills was still very good.
After seeing through the old man's tricks, Qin Fang was also thinking about the direction of his chess moves while guarding against the illusory arrays. Finally, after dozens of moves, Qin Fang suddenly changed his move …
"Er …"
The old man saw Qin Fang's checkmate this time, but in terms of chess moves, it was not a sure-kill game, or it was completely useless.
But —
"Good, good, good …"
The old man threw away the chess piece in his hand and jumped a few times on Chessboard Mountain. Suddenly, the illusory arrays attached to the chessboard were all broken immediately.
"Sure enough, heroes come from the young … I admit defeat!"
The old man looked at Qin Fang with admiration. The admiration in his eyes was undisguised.
Even at this point in the game, the losses of the two people were extremely limited. No one was at an advantage, but the old man immediately threw in the chess piece and admitted defeat.
Perhaps the two people were still fighting very fiercely just now, and they wanted to kill each other with one sword, but no one was able to do anything to the other.
"Sir, you're too kind. You're old but strong!"
Qin Fang also responded politely.
This old man was basically certain to be Qian Men Go Master. He was an elder with a very high status in Qian Men. Although he was not at the level of an elder, it was only because this old man was not keen on that kind of power.
In fact, the two people did not have any grievances. The reason why they were in a stalemate just now was that that kind of chess move stimulated the two people who were also very proud.
Now that the two people had abandoned that kind of thought, naturally, they did not have to fight to the death anymore and could get along peacefully …
"I'm Song Qianqiu. What's your surname, little friend?"
The old man clasped his fists. While he reported his name, he did not forget to ask for Qin Fang's name.
"This kid is Qin Fang …"
Qin Fang also reported his name politely. Although he also had the title of a disciple of Qian Men, in fact, he was just a nobody in Qian Men.
Compared with Song Qianqiu, the Qian Men Go Master, he was thousands of miles away.
Perhaps it was because of the chess game just now, but the old man and the young man, who were dozens of years apart, seemed to be of the same age at this moment. They actually seemed to be friends, which made Qin Qing and Tang Feifei, who were at the side, rather speechless.
Although they were not quite sure what happened just now, it was obviously not as simple as what they saw on the surface …
