Cheng Zhong is a junior, and naturally holds the white chess pieces first, while Li Muxian holds the dark green chess pieces and walks later.

Cheng Zhong likes the "head cannon" layout the most, but since he learned to play chess, he has been influenced by adult chess friends about "chess etiquette".

felt that it was a little rude to use "as the first cannon" in the first game of chess with the elders, so after a little consideration, he made up a "phase" first.

The traditional culture of the Chinese can be described as broad and profound, which is manifested in the small aspects of every thing, and there are special particulars.

If you don't understand, if you are small, people will think that you are uncultivated, and if you are big, you will be seriously rude and make the other party unhappy.

Let's play chess, for example.

If the two players are of different generations or have a difference in age, the first game must be played by the junior or the younger first.

It would be rude for juniors or juniors to insist on letting their elders or seniors take the lead.

Therefore, Cheng Zhong did not push or give in, and naturally took the first step first.

This first step is also exquisite, if you come up to set up a "cannon" or arch "pawn", showing that the player is belligerent and likes to use knives and guns, there is a suspicion of impoliteness.

It doesn't matter between peers, but if it's to the elders, it's a bit rude.

Therefore, Cheng Zhong would rather give up his advantage of being accustomed to attacking with "head gun" and get out of the infrequently used flying "phase" game.

"Hehe, young chess players rarely play the 'flying phase' game, don't lose because you are too polite, I won't let you!"

Li Muxian saw Cheng Zhong's thoughts at a glance, and she said with a smile while setting up the "head cannon" with her back hand.

"Chess is ever-changing, and no matter how you take the first step, you are still far from winning or losing!"

Cheng Zhong replied calmly as he stepped on the horse.

The two of them let go of their hands and feet, you came and went, and fiercely "killed" around the two-foot chessboard.

Li Muxian really has rich experience in the game and is very familiar with chess, and he can find the most secure move for every move of Cheng Zhong, maintaining the tightness of his own formation, making Cheng Zhong impeccable.

If you talk about the level of chess power before Cheng Zhong entered the wolf domain, if you want to challenge Li Muxian, there is no chance of winning, and it is almost impossible to play a game of draw.

But providence allowed him to see "Erlang God" and "Roaring Heavenly King" playing chess in his dream, although it was only a game, but it made him reflect and understand many subtleties later.

In fact, due to his extraordinary understanding, his chess strength has made a qualitative leap since then, but because he has no time to play chess, he is not aware of the changes in his strength.

Cheng Zhong has always been good at offense and weak at defense, so he often chooses the "head gun" layout.

This game of chess restricts the attacking routine because of the consideration of etiquette, so that his punches and kicks cannot be deployed effectively.

After the twenty moves were taken, Cheng Zhong only had one "horse" to cross the river, Li Muxian only had one "cannon" to cross the river, and the other sub-forces were all kinked in the area of the boundary river, forming a stalemate.

The more Li Muxian went down, the more secretly frightened he became.

She never expected that the little Cheng Zhong would have such a transparent understanding and accurate calculation in chess, and her chess style was sharp and steady, so that she could not find a way to "enter the game" to win.

Cheng Zhong also encountered such a powerful opponent for the first time, and Li Muxian's bottomless chess purpose made him secretly admire in his heart.

It turned out that deep down in his heart, he was never very optimistic about ladies playing chess, because he felt that women's logical thinking ability was naturally weaker than men's.

This does not mean that he has a tendency to "favor sons over women", he just instinctively believes that men and women have their own strengths, and women's strengths are not in logical thinking, nothing more.

And Li Muxian's superior performance on the chessboard can be regarded as a lesson for him, which completely shattered his mindset.

After about thirty hands, the two admired each other's strength even more, and their moves were more cautious.

After playing to about fifty hands, after a large-scale exchange, Cheng Zhong's offensive force was left with one "horse" and one "pawn", and Li Muxian's offensive force was only one "rook".

Both sides were "soldiers" and "looks", and neither could kill the other, and finally shook hands and made peace.

Both of them were very happy with this ending!

If you're not a chess enthusiast, it's hard to feel that way.

Through chess vs. "killing", they not only understand the strength of their opponents, but also reflect their own strength through the strength of their opponents.

At this time, the opponent becomes a "mirror" to know himself.

The opponent's intelligence and strength just reflect his own intelligence and strength.

That's why chess is also known as "hand talk".

In fact, although the two-foot chessboard is small, it contains profound truths about life in the universe.

Through the game, you can first examine the intelligence of the opponent, and at the same time, you can also see the character of the opponent.

When encountering an evenly matched situation, whether or not you can make a decision, give it a go, and strive for victory can show a person's courage and decisiveness.

When encountering disadvantages, whether a person can fight against the odds, look for opportunities, and win in defeat can show whether a person has tenacious willpower.

In the case of superiority, whether one can face it calmly and control the situation until victory can show a person's mind and bearing.

If you don't have enough open-mindedness, you may also be carried away by the temporary victory in front of you, and get out of defeat, but you will incur the consequences of losing all the games.

In short, the actions of both sides of the game are a concentrated embodiment of their intelligence and conduct.

The reason why Cheng Zhong and Li Muxian were very satisfied with the first game of the draw was that they both felt that by chance, they had found such a powerful ally, and they would have more confidence to do anything in the wolf world in the future.

The so-called "chess opponents, will meet good talents" is the true reflection of their thoughts at the moment.

The two just looked at each other with satisfied and appreciative eyes, and no one spoke.

This is called "hand talk", all communication has been done in the game, and it seems that everything is superfluous.

After a short break, Cheng Zhong rushed to set up the chess pieces again, and quietly waited for the second game to be "killed" with Li Muxian.

"Okay, okay, Cheng Zhongxian's nephew, let's sit for too long now, we should be active, and it's time to have dinner soon."

When we get to sea at night, we still have time to play chess!"

Li Muxian saw that it was getting late outside, so he stood up, stretched his arms and yawned, then twisted his waist and walked back and forth on the animal skin.

Cheng Zhong had no choice but to stand up, and asked while moving his hands and feet:

"Auntie, isn't it time to tell me about the origin of this chess set?"

Li Muxian remembered what he had said earlier, and said with a smile:

"Oh, you remember quite firmly, this game of chess was given to me by a master of the 'Land of Wolves'. ”

"Is there a chess master in the 'Land of Heavenly Wolves'?"

"The 'Heavenly Wolf Country' is so vast, it occupies almost half of this planet, and there are more than 100 million human races alone, how can there be no masters?"

"Auntie, please wait a minute, your words remind me of some questions, please allow me to ask you for advice first, okay?"

Cheng Zhongjue, Li Muxian's words contained a lot of information that he cared about, and he hurriedly stopped her words and said.

"What's the problem?"

Li Muxian turned his head and looked at Cheng Zhong with a smile and asked.

Looking back and smiling, the six palaces have no color. ”

Such an ancient poem suddenly popped up in Cheng Zhong's mind, and he was instantly stunned.

Then, he felt that it was really rude for him to fantasize about an elder like this, and he was ashamed in his heart, and his little face was slightly red.

"Good aunt, I want to know, what kind of society is the 'Land of Heavenly Wolves' in the West?"

Cheng Zhong asked as if he was covered.

Li Muxian didn't know why the little boy's face suddenly turned red, and he was about to think about it, but he didn't expect him to ask such a profound question all of a sudden.

This question about social formation is further proof of the maturity of Cheng Zhong's thinking, which seems to have nothing to do with his actual age.

Li Muxian felt that it was also difficult for him to answer this question accurately.

I saw her raise her hand to stroke her forehead, and said slowly while thinking:

"Are you asking about the social form of the wolf country?

This question is complicated, and it is difficult to explain it clearly in one sentence or two.

The dominant form of society should be regarded as a slave-owning society. ”

"Oh, it's already a slave-owning society.

That...... Does it mean that compared to the Eastern Hemisphere, it has been a whole era ahead of it?"

Cheng Zhong looked up at Li Muxian's eyes and asked.

"Exactly.

The society over there is indeed more advanced than here, but it is also a hundred times more cruel than here, and they are simply two completely different worlds. ”

Li Muxian continued to answer while thinking.

She seemed to feel that she was too tired to stand and talk like this, so she bent her legs softly and sat down on her knees again.

Cheng Zhong still stood in place and asked:

"Auntie, in addition to wanting to know the social form of the wolf country, I also want to know what kind of relationship the human race there maintains with the wolf race. ”
