When the old man saw that it was a little girl, he said, “You little girl, don’t talk nonsense. Master Ling Xuan’s exquisite go game has stumped so many divine hands in Chang ‘an.”
Wei Yang said, “This go game is very easy to break.”
The old man said in disbelief, “Little girl, you’re not afraid of losing your teeth even if you talk big. In that case, I won’t charge you five cents. If you can break this game, I’ll give you fifty taels of silver.”
Weiyang knelt on the futon opposite the old man and placed the black piece on the star position of the chessboard. With one move, she turned the dead game of the black piece.
The old man looked at the position where Weiyang was playing and followed up with another move.
Weiyang calmly played another move.
All the chess lovers in Chang ‘an gathered around and looked at the game. Every time Weiyang played a move, everyone around cheered.
After about an incense stick, Weiyang said to the old man, “I won. Give me the Silver!”
