At around one o'clock in the afternoon of October 8, 2008, I took the first step of "evolution" to abnormal humans in the office of the Spiritual College of Tiandao University in the ghost village.

I walked up to the big man, then bent down and, in a very respectful manner, shouted to the dog with his tail, "Big teacher." ”

"Wang. ”

"Well, big teacher, you gave me a lesson today, but you just played chess all morning, I don't understand what that means. Excuse me, can you explain it to me?"

"Wow ......"

The big man let out a low growl, walked slowly to the edge of the couch, stood upright, patted the alarm clock I had placed on the table with his front paws, and then turned back to his cage.

What does an alarm clock mean?

Is it for me to see the time?

Now it's one o'clock, and then the big teacher goes to bed, could it be that he told me to wait until two o'clock when the class starts?

Belch......

……

After more than half an hour, Mr. Li stood up from behind his desk, put the chessboard on the table in front of the sofa, and put a single-binding book called "Eyes Open and Look at the Sky: Wood Spiritual Eyes" next to the chessboard, and turned around and left the office.

Seeing this, I sat up straight from the couch and reached out to pick up the booklet and look at it.

But as soon as my hand was put up, a claw reached out from the spur, blocking my movements.

When I turned my head, I saw the big man stretching out his head and arching the chess box next to him, signaling me to put the chess pieces on the table.

Sure enough, it was playing chess with this dog again.

Although I don't understand why I don't want to read the textbook. But it made me look forward to it a little more than in the morning, and I hurriedly took out all the chess pieces and put them on one by one.

Xiangqi is one of the oldest gambling games in China, and there are many theories about the origin of this game, some even dating back to the Shang and Zhou dynasties.

I don't know much about the historical evolution of these special objects, but one thing I know very well is that the chess we play now must have emerged after the Han Dynasty. Because the "Chu River Han Boundary" clearly marked on the chessboard clearly tells the story of Liu Bang and Xiang Yu.

Chess is divided into two sides, each side has seven kinds of sixteen pieces, different types of pieces have different moves on the board, but the final decision is won or lost on the key "general, handsome" chess.

I put all the pieces in place as fast as I could. Then he turned to look at the big one. I saw it fly and jump onto the single sofa opposite, and then lowered its head and licked the "handsome" chess on the chessboard in front of it.

I know it's the same thing it did at the beginning of the morning. It is also after licking the "handsome" chess piece, the red pieces on the chessboard seem to come to life. Move yourself around the board. You don't need to touch it again.

Then. I guessed that what the big man was going to teach me was this special ability to teleport relics, but after a morning, I didn't know how it taught me.

This time, the big man licked the pieces and didn't start the game like before. Instead, he looked up at me with a pair of big eyes that seemed to have some encouragement in them.

My mind turned several times, and finally I asked tentatively, "Big teacher, ...... you You're not going to let me lick the pieces too, are you?"

"Wang!"

The big man screamed happily, which just confirmed my suspicion, but what did this Nima mean by licking the chess pieces before playing chess. Is it a ritual, or a pre-cast preparation?

I reached out and picked up the "shoji" chess in front of me, and struggled inwardly to put the chess piece to my mouth, and stuck out my tongue to touch it.

I only felt a bitter taste coming from the tip of my tongue, and I was so uncomfortable that I spit a few mouthfuls of saliva on the ground.

However, what I didn't expect was that at this moment when I was spitting, a voice suddenly popped up in my head.

"Chu Jun is brave, how can he be controlled by a yellow-mouthed child!"

This sentence sounded out of thin air, and the person who spoke was full of anger, like a general's lecture.

I'm sure there are no other living people in the whole room except me, and this can't be Mr. Li's voice, so the only thing that can explain the source of the sound is the chess piece in my hand.

I tentatively stuck out my tongue again and licked the edge of the chess piece, and the voice just now came as expected.

"Boy, don't waste your time, you're not a general at all. However, seeing that you are so persistent, I can allow you to be one of my soldiers!"

"Damn, is it really this chess piece that is talking? Big teacher, what's going on?"

I couldn't suppress the shock in my heart and looked up at the big man, but unfortunately the big man couldn't speak, couldn't answer my questions in the first place, but it tried to make me understand all this with action.

The big man wagged his tail and jumped off the couch, ran to the wooden cabinet behind his desk, and rummaged out a glass bottle from it and took it in his mouth.

It's like a canned bottle, the outer packaging has been torn off, and now it's just a label with "saliva water" written on it. The liquid inside was translucent, and you could see some juice hanging on the wall of the bottle when it shook it, and it was very viscous, like the saliva of some kind of creature.

The big man put the bottle in front of me, patted the chessboard again, and looked at me with a look of hope.

How could I not understand such an obvious action, just now I licked the chess pieces with my tongue, and now I brought the ready-made saliva, which must have asked me to wipe the contents of the bottle on the chess pieces.

In line with the principle of "not being afraid of getting dirty and tired in doing revolutionary work", I opened the cap of the bottle and went directly to my finger to get a little "saliva water" out, and then quickly applied it to the surface of the "shogun" chess piece.

I was prepared for something wonderful, but what happened next surprised me.

The viscous saliva quickly spread out on the black "sho" character carved on the surface of the "sho" chess, and when every corner was covered, the words on the chess piece and the water added into it merged into one, and then began to deform and increase. But in just a few seconds, a three-inch-tall villain grew on top of the log chess piece.

This man was all black, possessed by armor, holding a delicate halberd, stepping on a black horse that was majestic and powerful, and even neighed faintly.

"I started the army at the age of eight, and I have experienced more than 70 battles, and those who should be broken, those who are struck are served, and I have not tasted defeat, who dares to fight today!"

It was the roar of the general again, and I could clearly see the lips of the little black man growing in front of me squirming.

That's right, this guy was talking to me just now.

However, how can there be a living person living in the chess pieces? (To be continued......
