What Xu Guangling was going to teach Xu Tonghui this time was no longer a secret method or something, but a "miscellaneous study".

What is miscellaneous? All items that have nothing to do with one's major are miscellaneous. For cultivators in this world, they are either cultivators, or miscellaneous studies.

After thinking about it, the first thing Xu Guangling taught Xu Tonghui was chess.

In the past life, there were many types of chess skills, and it was more worth mentioning that it often appeared side by side with chess, but it was actually Go.

However, Go is about yin and yang, and to a higher point, it is chaos, and if it is bypassed, it is the "Tao Te Ching" in the article.

If you just learn chess, there is no difference between chess and Go, they are all things that children can learn.

But if you want to comprehend or feel something from chess, then for a cultivator of Xu Tonghui's level, Go is far inferior to chess.

The seven chess pieces, the chariots, horses, artillery soldiers (soldiers) used for attack, the elephant (xiang) soldiers used for defense, and the generals (handsome) who stick to the camp.

General, just set it as the county guard of this life.

Higher, Xu Tonghui didn't know.

Under the command of Xu Guangling, Xu Tonghui returned to carpentry, cut and carved some small pieces, which were the same as the chess pieces in his previous life, and then the first small wooden block, Xu Guangling asked him to engrave two words on it, "County Guard".

With the county guard, then there was the "steward" (shi), and the "guard" (elephant).

Then it was the turn of the chariot and horse gunners.

In the previous life, there was also an interesting saying about the pawn, "Life is a chess, and I am willing to be a pawn." Slow to move, but who ever saw me take a step back. ”

It sounds nice, but it's actually a rule.

pawn can only advance, not retreat.

Moreover, progress can only go further, and the so-called compliance with rules is restricted everywhere.

On the chessboard, although there are also many scenes where the winner is decided by one pawn, more often than not, the pawn is just cannon fodder.

Therefore, the pawn is set as "condensation".

Xu Tonghui has just broken away from this level.

Then, the cannon is set as "Tongmai", and the horse is set as "Kaishuo".

In fact, on the chessboard, it is difficult to distinguish between guns and horses, the opening game is better than the horse, and the endgame is better than the gun, but it doesn't matter, they follow different rules of chess.

Finally, it is the turn of the most important piece, the "rook".

No car ten son cold.

In the case of a country, this is the artifact of the town, similar to the nuclear weapons of the previous life.

Therefore, in the setting, the car is not a higher-level "bleed-in", but directly set as a "ground level".

The chess pieces are carved, and the chessboard is also carved.

Although Xu Tonghui still didn't understand what he meant, looking at the small logs engraved with the words "condensation", "vein", "enlightenment" and "ground steps", as a cultivator, instinctive excitement had already risen in his heart.

"Uncle Xu, come, come, come. ”

Xu Guangling commanded Xu Tonghui to sit opposite, and then between the two, the chessboard was in place and the chess pieces were placed.

In this life, there is no chess, of course, there is no word "chess", so Xu Guangling simply didn't introduce what it was, just do it!

Explain the rules briefly, and then the two of them play against each other.

The rules of chess are actually very simple, and with Xu Tonghui's current brain, it is simply overkill to remember this small rule, so although it is the first time to play this thing, he is still quite eager to try, and he really wants to compete with the other side, so that the young master can see that he also has two brushes.

Of course, the facts quickly taught him how to be a man.

Xu Guangling didn't bully him too much, but after ten games, he withdrew the game.

Although he lost ten battles and ten defeats, and the defeat was very bad, Xu Tonghui was still in high spirits.

Xu Guangling was not interested in playing more with a rookie, but just said to him: "Uncle Xu, you can pull others to play." Well, it's a gadget that you can teach, anyone can teach. ”

Xu Tonghui was the first to teach, Tian Hao.

Tian Hao had just come back from Tongfu Building, and before he had time to catch his breath, he was pulled by Xu Tonghui to sit in front of the chessboard.

Xu Tonghui has a smart brain, and Tian Hao is not a vegetarian. If you exclude the factor of cultivation, if you talk about it seriously, Xu Tonghui is estimated to be not enough to see in front of Tian Hao.

Then, watching the two rookies pecking each other remotely, Xu Guangling shook his head and smiled.

In the afternoon, the two played against each other until cooking, and in the evening, after the evening exercise, the two actually fought for a while.

That momentum.

It's like a little boy just getting his hands on a fun toy.

It's like a little girl who has just received a whole big box of clothes and jewelry.

In the city, Xu Tonghui is very popular now, and invitations from all over the world have long filled his schedule. And within a few days, this new gadget was almost all over the county.

The county watchman's house.

The county guard Xu Yishan played against Xu Tonghui, and played against the housekeeper Xue Shouyi.

Xue Shouyi played against his men again.

It didn't take long for even the little maids in the house to start playing this game.

Tongfu Building.

Tian Hao brought this game into Tongfu Building.

It didn't take long for Tongfulou to play this game.

The barrier to entry for chess is not high.

In other words, there is no threshold at all, and if you only talk about getting started, the entry difficulty of chess will not be much higher than that of backgammon.

From Tian Hao to the chef, from the chef to the assistant chef, from the assistant chef to the helper, from the helper to the customer, soon, in the county, there was such a scene in many Tongfulou stores:

"This condensation, you can't lose it, right?"

"Tongmai, hit, hit!"

"Lying ...... Lying in a big groove, the ground steps, the ground steps can also be suffocated?"

......

Juxing Tower.

Not to mention this place where the Four Seas Gate is dedicated to attracting cultivators and gathering guests.

The little dolls who came here with their elders when they were only a few years old, and the big ones who were high-level or elders of the Four Seas Gate were at least a hundred years old, either two people sat opposite each other, or they were in groups of three or five, or the two of them sat in a big circle around the periphery......

All are playing chess.

As soon as this new thing appeared in this county town of Annam, it began to spread like a virus.

Almost everyone has tap water.

The word of mouth is so good that it explodes.

Of course, some weak controversies are also emerging:

"Condensation...... The condensation isn't that weak, is it?"

Saying this, most of them are cultivators who condense qi, some are still teenagers, and some are already gray-haired, especially the old man's generation, they are quite angry, "I don't think this is reasonable, condensing qi...... It's tragic!"

It's like empathy.

It is difficult for the Qi Condensation (pawn) to move on the chessboard, and any chess piece of the opponent can be destroyed at will, which is really too uncomfortable for those Qi Condensation cultivators.

Of course, this discomfort does not affect their love of chess.

And their game instinctively deviated a little bit from the earth in their previous life, that is, they paid special attention to condensation, five condensations, and they were reluctant to give up any of them.

There are also people who are more skinny.

That is, at the beginning of the chess game, the first player continuously used the Tongmai (cannon) to hit the opposite Kaiqiao (horse), which is regarded as the exchange of cannon horses.

Then, the end of the round.

"Hey, how did I lose?!!!"

"It doesn't make sense!"

"I used the pulse to change the opening technique, obviously it is a big profit!"

Many enlightened cultivators were silent and thoughtful about this situation.

And Xu Yishan that day, he lightly flicked the chess piece engraved with "County Guard", and asked Xu Tonghui with a smile: "Tonghui, I, the county guard, can only walk in this small frame?"

This question, for a while, actually stumped Xu Tonghui.

However, the current Xu Tonghui is not the same Xu Tonghui in Qingshui City a few months ago, just a little attention to the chessboard, Xu Tonghui quickly responded: "Senior brother, the county guard is you, and the ground level is also you." ”

And this answer, for a while, actually made Xu Yishan fall silent.
