The blood bag swayed slowly from side to side on the weighing machine, and each time it reached a hundred milliliters, Yukihiko would quickly pull it out and replace it with a new one, a total of four bags before and after. Since each blood bag doesn't look too big, if you don't put it together, you won't feel too frightened to look at it.

After the four blood bags were drawn, Xue Yan took out a small test tube and took away ten milliliters, and then handed it to another host next to him, and the two players went out with a small test tube containing the player's blood, and they didn't know what to do.

Xiang Nanxing was glad that he was not a person who fainted blood. Although the burns on his body have not healed, fortunately, his body is still strong on weekdays, and the blood loss of several hundred milliliters will not make him feel too obviously uncomfortable, at most, he will feel a little dizzy when he gets up. He pressed the tampon on the pinhole tightly, and asked the host Higayama Takuma, "Okay, the blood is drawn, now should you explain the reason for this?" ”

Jiushan raised his hand and motioned for a while. He took out a pitch-black box, opened it, and then beckoned the two hosts in charge of blood collection to put the blood bag in their hands into the box, and then closed the lid of the box. Xiang Nanxing noticed that each blood bag held by the two was exactly the same in size and shape, and there was no label attached to it, so it seemed impossible to tell whose it was.

Aren't you afraid of confusion? He was thinking when he heard what seemed to be the sound of something turning in the box. The sound is a bit like the sound of a household washing machine, but it is much softer than the latter, probably for fear of breaking the blood bag inside. After a minute or so passed, Higayama pondered the button next to the box, and the movement inside stopped.

He placed the box containing eight blood bags on one side, and it seemed that he was not going to explain the meaning of it for a short time.

"Alright, that's the first step."

Long Yama clapped his hands, signaling that the two could start to choose. In this case, in order to avoid two people choosing the same hexagram, it is natural to determine the order of priority, and then take turns to take it. He originally planned to make a decision by guessing a coin or something, but he didn't expect the fair-skinned boy to speak first.

"The visitor is a guest, so please choose the other side first." He said.

Chang Changshan pondered "um" and turned to Xiang Nanxing's side: "The other party said so, what is your opinion?" ”

Xiang Nanxing thought for a moment and nodded in agreement. In most games, players will fight for a first move, but this doesn't seem to be too important in this game. Because at this time, all they have in front of them are these wooden signs engraved with hexagrams and serial numbers of unknown meaning, and it is impossible to judge which ones are better and which ones are worse without knowing the rules.

He guessed that the other party may have intended to see which ones he chose first, and then choose some that might be restrained. Fortunately, Xiang Nanxing's side has already figured out what brand to choose first, and getting this first move can just ensure that the one that feels more certain will be won. Although the two have different minds, they each take what they need at this time.

"Then it starts with me." He hesitated for a moment, and then said to himself, "Well, it's good to be incompatible with fire and water, that's it." ”

Long Yama pondered as he turned the disc and took down the wooden sign engraved with the hexagram "Weiji", his face was expressionless, but he was smiling secretly in his heart. The rules he had at hand didn't teach him how to judge the good or bad of a hexagram, it was the job of someone else in the background. However, Xiang Nanxing's thoughts at this time, he could see it clearly.

The "Weiji" that has just been selected is the last of the sixty-four hexagrams. Xiang Nanxing said that the upper and lower hexagrams, water and fire, etc., means that it is composed of the hexagram and the hexagram in the eight trigrams, the top is the hexagram representing fire, and the bottom is the hexagram representing water. Of course, the vast majority of people can't name the sixty-four trigrams, but there are not a few who can understand the gossip patterns, call out the names, and match the respective meanings. Xiang Nanxing is obviously one of them.

However, he just mentioned this not to show off, but to try to distract his opponent. Higayama knew that this person pretended to choose it because of the meaning here, but what he really liked was the serial number on this wooden sign. Sixty-four, which is the largest number of all the wooden signs here.

But this level of blinding will not work against this opponent. This round, as well as the choice of both sides in the next round, he can already directly foresee, but he still has to go through this process.

Higayama thought as he raised his hand to signal that the young man on the other side could start. The latter nodded. "Then I want this 'dry' hexagram." As he spoke, he took the wooden sign into his arms.

A hint of gloom flashed on Xiang Nanxing's face, but he immediately adjusted. He didn't expect this kind of small trick to fool a host, and the current result was naturally all expected. So in the second round of selection, he chose the "Kun" hexagram according to the schedule, and the other party unsurprisingly won the "Jiji" of the sixty-third hexagram.

Then, in the third round of selection, Xiang Nanxing fell into long-term thinking for the first time.

"What is this? Completely incomprehensible! ”

Chris in the lounge looked at Xiang Nanxing in the picture with a blank expression. He repeated this phrase throughout the viewing, with expressions that were sometimes dazed and sometimes frenzied.

Liang Jingmo's face on the side was not very good-looking. The filming on the scene was very good, in addition to not being able to touch those wooden signs with his own hands, what he saw and heard was also what Xiang Nanxing himself saw and heard, and if you want to talk about the amount of information, it is not much less than the latter. However, he has always had an outstanding ability to break the rules, and this time he can only admit that he can't understand the possible way of this rule.

"At the moment, most of the rules haven't been announced, but the part that has been announced has some details that seem to be quite meaningful, such as taking ten wooden tiles and discarding two tiles. In this case, both sides simply rely on guesswork and intuition to pick the wooden cards. Liang Jingmo said, "If you can't understand the choice made by the two of them just now, then I can explain it." ”

Chris's eyes widened. "Hurry up!" He said, "I can't understand the pattern of these long and short sticks of the sixty-four hexagrams, this is the culture of the ancient Orient, right?" Is there any meaning to this? It's water and fire. ”

Liang Jingmo smiled: "This is the category of metaphysics, it is said that these hexagrams can be used for divination, ask good luck or something, what Xiang Nanxing said just now, the upper and lower hurdles, water and fire, etc., are all the content of this science." However, the hexagram that the two of them had just chosen had nothing to do with this, and what he said was just a trick. ”

"It's the numbers." He said.

"As the host said in the introduction just now, the eight wooden cards left by the two sides are their hands, and then each round will be won or lost. But he didn't make it clear how to divide the victory and defeat between the two hexagrams, so that the first thing that came to mind should be to compare the size. ”

He stretched out his finger and gestured: "The 'Weiji' that Xiang Nanxing took in the first round is the sixty-fourth hexagram, which is the one with the largest number in it." If the rules really depend on the ratio of wins and losses, he is equivalent to getting a trump card. ”

"I see." Chris nodded, "In that case, although the other party is for observation, it is obviously a huge mistake to give up the first move." ”

"Not necessarily." Liang Jingmo said, "In fact, if you think about it this way, the difference between the first hand and the second hand is only that the first hand can take it according to its own guess, and the second hand can only passively choose the other one." The latter will be less psychologically stressful. In the second half of the first round, the wooden plaque that was taken away was engraved with 'Qian', which is the first hexagram, and if the rule is to win with a small one, this one is the strongest. The two of them each have a trump card, and the bet is to see whose side the rules are on. ”

He continued: "Then the draw of the second round is a complement to the first round. There are as many as eight rounds in the game, and a trump card can only ensure one victory, and it must be tested first to see the rules to prevent the one in your hand from becoming an ace. So the insurance measure is very important, and they aim for each other's second highest card under each other's rules, so that even if the bet is wrong, there is a small trump card to use. ”

"Therefore, the 'Kun' taken by Xiang Nanxing is the second smallest, and the 'Jiji' taken by the other party is the sixty-third hexagram, the second largest number. As long as these two don't happen to meet the two in the first round, they can actually be used as trump cards. And like I said, there are as many as eight rounds in the game, and the chance of just hitting them is not too big. Unless the opponent really has the courage to save the trump card for the end. ”

"So what else do you have to think about?" Chris doubted, "After taking the second, continue to take the third, and then look at the arrangement of troops and the means of deceiving each other in actual combat." ”

Liang Jingmo shook his head.

"No, what I just said is based on the premise that the rules of this game are simply to compare the size. But in fact, I think it's very unlikely. He said, "I have done so many tricks, and even used the sixty-four hexagrams, but the result is just a simple comparison of sizes, and such a game will only make people laugh at it." ”

He crossed his hands under his chin and squinted, frowning at the sight in front of him.

He knew that there must be something hidden behind all of this, and that every detail was meaningful. Why the Sixty-Four Hexagrams? Why is it mandatory to draw 10 pieces and then discard 2 pieces? Why is it not a cumulative win, but a final game to win? What does the Trial of Blood mean? There are a lot of other questions, when at least understand these questions, can be considered to be a real mastery of the game.

At that time, he may be able to solve the mystery that Danqing said before. "The most important thing to win the game is to know the rules as early as possible, but even if you know the rules before your opponent, you don't necessarily win." - He still couldn't imagine what kind of game could fit such characteristics.

"He's starting to choose!"

Chris's exclamation pulled him back from his thoughts to reality. He saw that Xiang Nanxing in the picture had just made the third round of choices, and was reaching out to pick up the selected wooden sign at this time.

However, the two people who were watching the picture intently at this time did not notice that at this time, the door of the lounge behind them was slowly opening......
