God-tier Farm - Chapter 2254
[Chapter 2206 is actually playing chess?]
Old Bai couldn’t help raising his eyebrows, staring at Hongyu like a sharp sword, and said, “What do you want to do?” In the
previous few competitions, most of Hongyu’s choices were board games that have been passed down in the spirit world for a long time. Only once was a chess game that appeared in Lingxu after the spirit world was broken, but the rules were also born out of the previous spirit world chess games, so Lao Bai was able to quickly become familiar with the rules and routines.
Even so, Lao Bai still lost eight times in a row.
This time Hongyu actually chose Lingxu chess game again, and Lao Bai knew that he had never been exposed to this kind of board game before just hearing a few words from him.
Every time the Lingxu monks explored the ruins of the Qingping Realm, compared to the time in the ruins, the interval reached five hundred years. God knows how long Hongyu has been studying this kind of chess. Under such circumstances, Lao Bai himself is not sure that he can win against Hongyu, let alone his chosen spokesperson for the Nascent Soul Stage.
Hongyu smiled and said: “Old Bai, our agreement is that I will choose the method of the competition. The rules of the chess game I chose this time are complete and strict. Although it is not a long-standing tradition in the spirit world, it does not violate the rules. You cannot object Yes!”
Old Bai snorted coldly, and said, “Hongyu, you have already gained the upper hand. If you are aggressive again, won’t you be afraid of my death?”
“You have said this countless times!” Hongyu didn’t care He said with a smile about Lao Bo’s weak threat, “Besides…it’s really unknown who will win this time. I just think this kind of chess is more interesting, and it can make our competition more fresh! I can use my own I swear by my soul, I only discovered it by accident in the last few years, and the time I have really studied this kind of chess is definitely not more than three years, if there are false words, I will burn myself to death!”
Lao Bai’s expression moved slightly, It is not a joke for a monk to swear with his soul. If he really breaks the oath, he may not retaliate immediately, but he will definitely form a demon. When he breaks through, the oath is very likely to be fulfilled.
Therefore, Hongyu should not have lied.
Of course, two or three years of research on a board game can already be studied very deeply for Hongyu, who has a strong soul, and Lao Bai is still at a disadvantage.
It’s just that it’s much better than he expected. If it’s a board game he’s never heard of, and Hongyu has been studying it for five hundred years, then today’s competition can be skipped.
Therefore, Lao Bai decided to listen to the rules before making a judgment.
He said lightly: “Let’s talk about the rules first!”
Hongyu said with a smile: “You will be interested too!”
Lao Bai complained in his heart: If it wasn’t for the competition, I would not be interested in playing chess Woolen cloth! Nothing can attract me!
Ruby reached out and wiped the wooden table, and a chess and card transformed with vitality appeared on it, as well as sixteen chess pieces from each of the red and black sides.
If Xia Ruofei was here, his jaw would drop in shock—the red jade transformed into the Chinese chess on earth, and the words in the middle of Chuhe Hanjie are directly Chinese characters.
The monks in the Shenzhou cultivation world have never entered the Qingping world ruins before, so Hongyu’s chess record must not have been obtained from the Shenzhou monks.
In fact, Hongyu found a chess record from the storage magic weapon left by the Lingxu monk who was picked by Lao Bai last time, which recorded the basic rules of Chinese chess and some famous games.
To be precise, there is only more than half of that chess book, and some endgame analysis content has been lost.
The source of this remnant book is no longer known, but the monks of Shenzhou are also active in Lingxu, so there is a possibility that the monks of Lingxu can get the chess record.
Moreover, this chess record also has a translation of the common language of the spirit world. Obviously, the Lingxu cultivator who got the chess record before really studied it for a period of time.
Old Bai frowned and looked at the chessboard in front of him. It was indeed a board game completely unfamiliar to him, and he had never even seen the text on it.
Hongyu smiled and said: “Old Bai, the rules of this kind of chess are not very complicated, but there are many changes, and it coincides with the method of marching formations, which is very interesting…”
After finishing speaking, Hongyu gave Lao Bai explained the meaning of the words on each chess piece, and then began to explain the basic rules of chess.
After listening to the introduction of the rules, Lao Bai couldn’t help feeling a little interested.
He has studied various chess games for these years, so he can hear the mystery of this chess at once.
“Old Bai, do you want me to play two sets with you, so that you can feel it?” Hongyu asked with a smile.
Lao Bai has no objection to Hongyu’s proposal. If he wants to teach the spokesperson chess skills, he needs to study it himself first, and actual combat is definitely the fastest way to understand the subtleties of this kind of chess changes.
Of course, Lao Bai also knows that Hongyu will definitely not show his true skills, and he will not even use his usual style to play against him. After all, he will play in person in tomorrow’s competition, so he definitely can’t. Let Lao Bai figure out his way first.
“Okay!” Old Bai nodded and said.
Hongyu grinned and made a gesture of invitation, and said, “You understand the basic rules. Red comes first and then black, and you play first!”
…
Lao Bai and Hong Yu were playing chess between the branches of the treetops, but Xia Ruofei was still in the corridor groping forward, as if there is no end at all.
Xia Ruofei always had his heart hanging, and kept a high level of mental vigilance. He didn’t know that he would not encounter any danger in the tunnel, and no matter which road he chose at the fork, he would end up with the same goal in the end.
He walked forward step by step. Although he was anxious, he still forced himself to remain calm, because impulsiveness had no effect on getting rid of the current predicament, and might lead to danger instead.
At this time, Xia Ruofei suddenly found that there were water ripples on the corridor wall in front of him. He stopped quickly and looked at the front with extreme vigilance. ready to go.
The water ripples gradually stabilized, and an old face appeared on the wall of the corridor. His eyes were calm with vicissitudes, and just glanced at Xia Ruofei, making Xia Ruofei feel as if his soul had been seen through.
“Little friend, this old man has invited you here, and I have something to ask you!” Old Bai’s transformed face cut to the chase.
In fact, the old cypress is playing chess with Hongyu at this time, but within the range of this Longya cypress, the old cypress can easily transform into thousands, and it is even easier for him to be distracted.
Xia Ruofei was vigilant, and asked tentatively: “Excuse me, senior…is this inside Longyabai? Is the tree spirit senior?
” Tell me! Every time the Qingping world opens, I will choose a monk from the Lingxu to help. This is a repertoire. My friend, I don’t know if you are willing? If you don’t want to help, the old man will choose someone else…”
Xia Ruofei secretly said in his heart: It may be true to choose someone else, but I must not survive, right?
The tree spirit of the dragon tooth cypress made him feel as if he was looking up from a high mountain, and now he was still inside the dragon tooth cypress. It could be said that he was completely fish on the chopping board. The other party wanted his life, it was not too simple!
For Xia Ruofei, rejecting the other party’s words, the best result is that he still has time to hide in the Lingtu space, and the Lingtu picture scroll can withstand Long Yabai’s attack.
Even so, he would undoubtedly be trapped to death in the space.
Therefore, Xia Ruofei just changed his mind slightly, and said with a wry smile: “Senior, I have come here, do you still have a choice? Can you tell me what you need me to do?”
There was a smile on Lao Bai’s face, and he said: “It seems that Xiaoyou is a smart person, so it will be easier for us to talk! I need Xiaoyou to represent the old man in a battle. If he can win, the old man will naturally save Xiaoyou.” Send it out, and also send a thank you gift…”
Lao Bai didn’t say what would happen if he failed in the competition, and Xia Ruofei didn’t ask, because it was self-evident.
The focus of Xia Ruofei’s attention is that he came to compete on behalf of the tree spirit. What does this mean? If it was an opponent that even the tree spirits couldn’t deal with, wouldn’t he lose faster? And if the opponent’s strength is mediocre, why didn’t the tree spirit make a move himself?
This confused Xia Ruofei, he couldn’t help but asked: “Senior, can you tell me the content of the competition?”
“Of course I will tell you, and the old man will give you some guidance.” .
He was very satisfied with Xia Ruofei’s performance. This young monk saw the situation very clearly, and he didn’t need to waste his time talking. This is a good start. After all, time is very precious, and the game will start in a day.
Old Bai continued: “Little friend, you need to represent the old man to play against the opponent, and your task is to do everything possible to win. Now I will explain the rules to you…”
Play chess? Xia Ruofei couldn’t help feeling absurd in his heart.
He thought that representing the tree spirit in the battle would be a competition of Taoism, combat skills, or formations. Anyway, he would never have dreamed that the content of the competition would be to play chess.
The most important thing is that Xia Ruofei doesn’t know much chess, and his chess skills can only be said to be very general.
Although after becoming a monk, his memory has also been greatly enhanced because of his strong mental power, so he should be better at playing chess than before, but chess still requires talent. It has been enhanced, but the enhancement is actually very limited.
What’s more, Xia Ruofei felt that in the ruins of the Qingping Realm, the chess games played by the two sides must not have been learned before. After learning the rules temporarily and then going to the competition immediately, Xia Ruofei felt that the possibility of winning seemed infinitely close to zero!
Old Bai didn’t care what Xia Ruofei was thinking, he directly transformed a chessboard on the corridor wall, and then began to explain it as he learned it – he also just learned the rules of chess from Hongyu.
When Xia Ruofei saw the familiar “chariots and cannons” and “Chuhe Hanjie” appearing on the corridor wall, his eyes widened, and he couldn’t believe what he saw.
An old tree spirit who has stayed in the ruins of the Qingping world for countless tens of thousands of years, even knows the Chinese chess of the earth? And there is also a competition with this chess.
Although Xia Ruofei didn’t know what this competition meant, he knew it should be very important to the tree spirit.
Xia Ruofei naturally knows the rules of chess. When he was a soldier, he often played several games with his comrades in his spare time. Although he learned that the content of the competition was chess, which he was relatively familiar with, Xia Ruofei still didn’t feel the slightest bit of relief, but secretly smiled bitterly.
Because when he was in the army, he was called a stinky chess basket by his comrades. Even when playing chess with his comrades, he was defeated repeatedly.
At my own level, now I want to represent this tree spirit to compete with others in chess?
Lao Bai was talking about “Elephant walking in the field” and “Horse walking in the sun”, explaining the basic rules of Chinese chess to Xia Ruofei little by little.
Xia Ruofei naturally knew these rules, but he didn’t dare to show it at all. Now he had one thought in his mind: we must not let the tree spirit know that I know how to play chess, otherwise his expectations will definitely be higher. The opponent’s anger will be even greater.
If you just compete as a beginner, even if you lose, it is reasonable. I don’t know if the tree spirit will be lenient… Xia Ruofei said in his heart.
The basic rules of chess are not complicated, so Lao Bai quickly finished the explanation.
Then he began to introduce some basic routines—this was something he had just learned. When he played chess with Hongyu, he didn’t understand these routines at first, but after all, he was proficient in too many chess games, so he learned Huaxia Chess The speed is also very fast.
At least he quickly grasped the basic principles such as “starting at the head and jumping on horseback”.
The content of Lao Bai’s speech is basically covered by Xia Ruofei’s skills-although he is bad at chess, he has learned to play chess since he was very young, and he basically relies on chess and poker for boring days in the army. It’s to pass the time, so the basic things are not difficult for him.
After Lao Bai finished speaking, he said: “Little friend, did you understand what I just said?”
Xia Ruofei nodded and said: “Basically understand! Senior, what level is my opponent? The junior is only starting now. Learn, will you…”
“The other party hasn’t been studying for long, so you don’t have to worry too much, just try your best!” Lao Bai said with a wave of his hand.
Xia Ruofei gave him a hehe in his heart, of course he should try his best now, if he loses, he might have a different attitude.
Lao Bo then said: “Since my friend already understands the basic rules and routines, let’s play a few games and try it! You have one day to get familiar with this game, and you will officially start the competition tomorrow!”
“This…” Xia Ruofei hesitated After a while, he nodded and said, “Okay!” The
old cypress’s old face disappeared on the wall of the corridor, replaced by a huge chessboard, on which were re-arranged chess pieces from both sides.
“Just use your mental power to drive the chess pieces!” Old Bai’s voice echoed in the corridor, “Red comes first and then black, you go out first…”
