Loss of rhythm

"I choose the thirty-second hexagram, Heng."

As soon as the words came out, his voice trembled slightly, and Xiang Nanxing knew that he was actually panicking. This reflection did not give him any new understanding of the situation in front of him, but only wasted some time and made his emotions become anxious because of indecision.

This is a matter of course, and no one can guess the rules of their comparison before the official use of wooden cards in the duel, just by the process of selecting wooden cards. This stage of card selection is originally a process that relies on the intuition of victory and defeat. At first, the size ratio is a reasonable guess, but once you want to jump out of it, there are thousands of possible scenarios.

Xiang Nanxing just thought too much, and although the young host opposite was silent, he always gave him an indescribable special pressure, making him anxious to gain an advantage in the early stage. The advantage of having a first move is that you can get the desired card one step earlier, but the disadvantage is also obvious, that is, every step of thinking can be observed by the one who comes later, giving him an extra reference when choosing. This is tantamount to forcing him to keep the right choices all the time, which is undoubtedly impossible.

The result of this thinking is to choose the thirty-second in the middle of the sixty-four hexagrams. On the surface, this seems to be a middle-of-the-road insurance choice, but Higayama Takuma secretly shook his head in his heart. He knew that this preference for middle numbers showed that Xiang Nanxing had never been able to firm up in one direction, and was still thinking about taking into account the possibility of both size and size. Greedy thoughts show that he has not thought clearly about what he wants to do, if he still hesitates after some thought, the frustration will not bring a small blow to the psyche, once the mentality is unbalanced, it is easy to make mistakes.

And the expression of regret that flashed after Xiang Nanxing finished speaking just now was enough to show that he regretted saying the number of the hexagram. Although after the first two rounds of selection, the thoughts of both sides are no longer secret, but the information exposed can be as little as possible, and reporting the numbers at least shows that they are still thinking about the numbers, and this may become the intelligence of the other party.

"Then I'll choose the thirty-first hexagram, salty."

The young man quietly took another sign. He also reported the number of the hexagram, but his expression was calm, which made people wonder if there was any misleading means hidden in it. Compared to Xiang Nanxing, who was thinking again, this person's face had obviously calmed down, and he didn't hesitate at all when he took this wooden sign.

Obviously, when Xiang Nanxing was thinking, he was also thinking, the difference was that he already had a plan for what he was going to do next.

Xiang Nanxing also felt this. Compared with him, who had difficulty in choosing after thinking hard for a while, the other party was confident when he won the "salty" hexagram, and almost immediately said his choice after getting the "Heng" hexagram here. That calm attitude and unhurried choice are invisible pressures, urging him to hurry to the next round of choices.

Since thinking is useless, it is up to intuition. Xiang Nanxing said to himself.

He took a deep breath and looked at the nearly sixty wooden signs that were still dazzling, and looked at them so hard, as if he wanted to turn his gaze into a sword and dig out the secrets inside. Now that he had made up his mind, he quickly found his sight, and the obstructive patterns faded into his eyes, until only the numbers on the lower half of the wooden plaque remained.

"Hexagram 21, devouring." He said.

This time, he took the position of one-third of the sixty-four hexagrams. If you win by small, this number is enough to suppress two-thirds of the choices, but the way of thinking is still modest. In the eyes of Jiushan Pondering, this choice can be seen as choosing a middle number that is biased towards small numbers, and the pattern is still too small.

The good thing is that Xiang Nanxing chose decisively this time, and the whole person faintly exuded a feeling that the demons had been removed. If you can keep this state all the time, even if you don't have the advantage of the hand, you may not have the power to fight.

After he finished choosing, the other party also reacted quickly. This time, he chose the "Yi" hexagram of the 42nd hexagram, which was just twice as many as the 21st hexagram, and almost two-thirds of the entire 64th hexagram.

Seeing his choice, Xiang Nanxing suddenly frowned. The situation in front of me is really annoying, like playing Go and meeting an opponent who specializes in imitating chess, no matter how this side falls, he only needs to be in the corresponding position on the opposite side of the board. The process doesn't require thinking, just imitation, and the result is pretty much the same.

Fortunately, imitation itself does not bring advantages, and Xiang Nanxing does not mind entering the card game with the opponent in a basically fair state. So he thought about it for a while, and then won the "well" hexagram of the forty-eighth hexagram, which was mathematically ranked three-quarters of the way, and the idea chosen was essentially the same as in the previous round.

In fact, not only this round, Xiang Nanxing has already planned, after the third division, it will be divided into four equal parts, and then it will be divided into five equal parts and six equal parts, until ten are full. He was going to get through the previous part like this, and he believed that his opponent was thinking the same way.

So when he saw the opponent's choice in this round, he was a little stunned for a while.

The young man chose the "no" hexagram of the twelfth hexagram. Xiang Nanxing's first reaction vaguely remembered that the meaning represented by this hexagram was extremely bad, and the "no" in the idiom "No Ji Tailai" was the hexagram it referred. At the same time, however, he calculated that the "twelfth" was not even one-fifth of the sixty-four, let alone a quarter of what he had expected.

The imitation was suddenly broken off for no apparent reason in the selection of this round.

"Is it a miscalculation? Or do you have another idea? Xiang Nanxing thought quickly in his heart.

The possibility of miscounting the numbers was the first to be quickly ruled out by him. Although the opponent does not have a self-registration number, but the person who can participate in this kind of game is definitely not an ordinary person, at least it should always be a host above the intermediate level, and it is simply impossible to expect this kind of person to miscalculate the number - not to mention that the whole process of his hexagram name and wooden sign is calm, and everything is normal until now, and there is no sense of chagrin that should occur after making a mistake.

Then it can only be done with other intentions. Xiang Nanxing also thought that the other party might expect him to start the fifth in the next round, so he took the hexagram in the fifth position first, trying to disrupt his rhythm. However, the problem is that even if it is such a calculation, if it is rounded off after the fifth division, it should be the "thirteenth hexagram". This "twelfth hexagram" can only be regarded as sticking to his next choice in advance, but he doesn't see any significance......

"Wait." Xiang Nanxing was suddenly alert.

In his thinking just now, he has been using serial numbers to refer to the hexagram chosen by both parties, and at most he uses the name of the hexagram, but that is also just a title. However, at this moment, he suddenly remembered the name he used to disguise his true purpose in the first round selection. Elements such as the upper and lower barriers, fire and water, and so on, which directly reflect the content of the hexagram, were subconsciously dismissed by him as useless information just because they were used as a cover statement at the beginning!

But what if that's where the other person's focus is? Xiang Nanxing thought about it, and only felt a chill down his spine. If you want to imitate the choice according to the law of numbers, the corresponding position of the "salty" hexagram should not be the "salty" hexagram of the "thirty-first hexagram", but the "escape" of the "thirty-third hexagram".

Although the number of the 42nd "Yi" hexagram is twice that of the "devouring" hexagram he chose, if it is rounded off after being divided into thirds, the corresponding serial number of the "devouring" hexagram should be the "夬" of the 43rd hexagram!

Because the numbers were too close, and Xiang Nanxing's attention was completely focused on his choice just now, he couldn't find any unreasonableness in these rounds. He thought that his opponent was imitating his own strategy, but he didn't expect that people had already escaped from the cage of numbers and walked on another road.

"Then, to look at his hand, you should focus on something other than numbers, which is ......"

Xiang Nanxing stared at the desktop in front of him. Although the wooden plaques have been taken away by the other party, fortunately, the tablecloth itself is a drawing indicating the sixty-four hexagrams, and the patterns, names and serial numbers corresponding to the hexagrams are still left on those vacant places.

Xiang Nanxing skipped the last two items first and directly observed the pattern. According to the name of the first round, he rearranged the hexagrams selected by the opponent in these three rounds.

The first is the "salty" hexagram of the third round, and the pattern is the upper and lower gen, which means "ze" and "mountain" respectively;

Then there is the fourth round of the "Yi" hexagram, which is the upper Xun and the lower earthquake, "Xun" represents the wind, and the "earthquake" represents the thunder;

The "no" hexagram in the fifth round is easier to identify, with the three long bars at the top representing the heavens, and the three short bars at the bottom, representing the earth's "kun......

"Oops!" Xiang Nanxing's face turned pale and cast his eyes on the position of the sixty-third hexagram "Jiji". This is the hexagram chosen by the opponent in the second round earlier. Its pattern is similar to Xiang Nanxing's "Weiji" in the first round, but it is just the opposite. Although the two are also water and fire, this side is the opposite arrangement of the upper and lower levels.

But with the same elements, that's enough. In just a few seconds, Xiang Nanxing repeated and confirmed the elements of these four groups of hexagrams in his mind. He figured it out, but his face turned blue at the same time.

Just as he had been keeping an eye on the numbers, the other party had already begun to collect other elements that might come in handy. Starting with the second round of "Jiji", to the end of the "no" just now, he picked what he really wanted while covering with plausible numbers in the last three rounds.

In the end, right under Xiang Nanxing's nose, he quietly collected all the eight basic hexagrams that made up the sixty-four hexagrams, that is, "Qiankun Zhen Gen Likan Dui Xun"!
