Chapter 45

In the 1000 years since the appearance of the red moon, most people have focused on the creation and cultivation of skills. It was not until 700 years of cultivation that they began to pay attention to the pills. It took another 200 years to pay attention to the refining of utensils. All the transactions between pills and utensils need to be completed with gold, so the status of gold is becoming more and more important.

But it's very difficult to get gold. Without one or two skills, you can only earn gold by working as a coolie. In order to improve your cultivation as soon as possible, the gold you earn will be converted into pills, so it's hard for ordinary people to save gold.

Unless he has a royal family like Qi run, or a younger martial brother like Xiang Yu, who is loved by his school.

Xiang Yu thinks that the registration fee of 50 Liang per person seems to be small, but in a small city like Dongchang alone, hundreds of people take part in the first test of choosing their son-in-law, and the calculated income is nearly 20000 Liang. If they come to the last round in other small cities, the total income will be more than 100000 yuan.

But Sima family's pay is only a young lady who does not even show her face. It's too easy to get the money.

Thinking of this, Xiang Yu and Gu Qingying have already come to the bone measuring stone. The strong man with a star or two congealed in the sky drops his blood essence on it and immediately shows the number of "25".

"Ha ha, it's so dangerous. I almost miss Fei." The strong man bared his teeth and laughed, totally unaware of the disdainful eyes of the people around him.

The son-in-law selection of thousands of people does not mean that they will be liked.

"I really don't know brother Gu's age."

"I'll know later. Brother Xiang shouldn't be more than twenty-five?"

"Brother Gu is so handsome. If he's chosen, it won't be a good end."

"Give it to brother Xiang at that time, but you look much whiter than a year ago. Have you taken any beauty pills?"

The two stood under the stage and bickered with each other. The tests on the stage were also carried out quickly. All of them were Yuefu and Yuening Jing. The highest was five-star Yuening, but they were also in their twenties.

Gu Qingying also jumps up. When she drips the blood essence, the number of "16" is displayed on the bone measuring stone. Her age is lower than Xiang Yu.

All around the people stare big eyes, 16-year-old four star moon Ning is the first time to see, this can be regarded as the gift of evil.

Before they recovered, the number of "17" appeared again on the bone measuring stone. It was Xiang Yu in the four stars and the moon. Then they jumped down together.

At this moment, the bottom of the pot can be exploded, the talent of the two people are very scary, but also a group, this kind of pressure is too big.

"Hum, it's only for self-cultivation. It's not a bumpkin."

Young master he stood in the distance and said contemptuously that he was 23 years old, and his cultivation only reached Sanxing Yuening, so he was far behind Xiang Yu. After Xiang Yu won the gold and talent, only his bright clothes were worth comforting himself.

Two hours later, after the test, more than 30 over aged people were asked out of the square, and the rest had to take a second test. What everyone didn't know was that when the bone test stone was lifted down, a blood red eye blinked on the stone.

A moment later, Sima de came to the high platform and yelled: "you Taoist friends, we are all people with high cultivation talents, but the young lady doesn't like mindless brats. In this second round of test, we have to eliminate half of them by playing chess. Of course, those who have been eliminated can still remain through one hundred taels of gold. "

Everyone immediately went up to draw the number. The two people with the same number needed to play a game to decide the outcome. What made Xiang Yu happy was that it was chess.

Xiang Yu has passed the test of Wandu Valley's endgame and has long been proficient in chess. This test should be unimpeded.

When Xiang Yu got the number of 87, Sima De, who was hiding in the corner, said with a sly smile, "it's the first player of Qinghua city who is playing against him. I don't believe that Xiang Yu won't be out."

Standing next to him was young master he. He was puzzled and asked, "I've heard of the first chess player, but it seems that he's over sixty years old, so that he won't show up?"

"ha ha, he is still too kind, age is not my has the final say, I will turn the 25 year old Xiang Yu to this year, he would not want to show up in front of Miss Fei."

Young master he gave a thumbs up in admiration. He could not help but feel lucky to have made friends with the housekeeper.

When Xiang Yu found that there was an old man with white beard on the opposite side, he was surprised and asked, "uncle, are you in the wrong place?"

The old man pulled off his goatee and said nothing with a smile, then glanced at the distance.

Xiang Yu followed the old man's eyes and found that it was Sima de who looked here with a sly smile. Then he understood everything, and the old man's chess skill was not inferior.

"He said that he could use two hundred taels of gold to avoid elimination. Why bother to invite you here?"

The old man finally said: "child, you don't know that people are dangerous. If you lose, he has a way to make you not use the gold."

Xiang Yu was shocked. The old man was right. Sima de was too cheeky. He had been defending young master he before. If he really lost, he would be eliminated. It would be difficult for him to enter Sima mansion for investigation.From what I said just now, we can see that the old man's chess quality is very high, so it's impossible to bribe the old man, and Xiang Yu won't do it in front of the chessboard.

"Then ask for advice." Xiang Yu made a gesture of invitation, and the old man picked up the red "gun" and put it in the middle.

The old man's attack was very sharp with his advantage. Fortunately, Xiang Yu resisted tenaciously and managed to hold on without losing. However, the old man was experienced and quickly turned the attack into defense. Xiang Yu was like a tortoise trapped in an urn. Every climb was futile.

Two hours later, everyone's game is over.

In fact, many people gave up playing chess and chose to use gold directly. When they found that an old man was sitting cross legged, they gathered around one after another.

"Isn't this old man the first chess player in Qinghua city? How can he come to choose his son-in-law?"

"Shh, keep your voice down. It's said that Xiang Yu has offended housekeeper De, otherwise he would not have such treatment."

After a short discussion, everyone understood Xiang Yu's situation and felt that he was not worth it. In fact, in front of the first chess player, it was good that Xiang Yu could hold on for two hours, but it was more difficult to win than to ascend the sky.

In fact, as they said, Xiang Yu's situation is really bad at this time.

Under the old man's step-by-step defense, Xiang Yu, who was worried in his heart, finally lost a key word "pawn" because of negligence. Since then, the long-standing offensive collapsed, and the old man immediately turned from defense to attack and defeated Xiang Yu's black side.

Xiang Yu's face was covered with sweat. Now they had been playing chess for three hours, and even the sky was getting dark. However, this situation should not last long, because the Red Army had surrounded Xiang Yu's base camp.

"It's over. It's lost."

"As expected, their chess ages are quite different."

However, when the red chessmen burst into Xiang Yu's headquarters, Xiang Yu showed a smile on his face.
