"In addition to the first round of 'Qian' is a combination of the two heavens, from the second round onwards, the 'Jiji' hexagram is water and fire, the 'salty' hexagram is Ze and Mountain, the 'Yi' hexagram is wind and thunder, and the final 'no' hexagram is heaven and earth. It only took four wooden signs to collect all eight basic hexagrams, although it is uncertain whether this has anything to do with the outcome of the duel. But because of the uncertainty, the richer the cards in your hand, the better. ”

Xiang Nanxing thought like this, and began to examine the cards in his hand according to the same standard. The first round of the "Weiji" hexagram is also a combination of water and fire. The second round of the "Kun" hexagram is two lands. These two rounds belong to the stage where both sides are still working on the numbers, so the focus is on the future.

In the third round, he chose the "constant" hexagram, a combination of upper shock and lower Xun, thunder and wind;

Then in the fourth round, he chose "devouring knock", a combination of upper and lower shock, fire and thunder;

In this recent round, he chose the "well" hexagram, one is water and the other is wind.

is also five hexagrams, and the opponent's side can be regarded as a complete set of gossip plus a separate "Qian", but Xiang Nanxing's side is equivalent to the "leave", "kan", "shock", "" and "" of the gossip

Xun and Kun each took a pair, but the three hexagrams of "Dui", "Gen" and "Qian" did not have one.

If the judgment method of the game is similar to the rock-paper-scissors hexagram and the mutual restraint between the hexagrams, Xiang Nanxing's situation at this time is like holding a pair of scissors and rock, except for the lack of cloth. Although the opponent has as many cards as him, he has all three cards. If the competition starts now, Xiang Nanxing's side is undoubtedly in absolute passivity.

Thankfully, he's only halfway through the drafting phase, and he still has five rounds left to turn the tide around.

"Hexagram 41, 'loss'."

This time, he chose the upper "Gen" and the lower "Dui", which is a hexagram with both mountain and Ze attributes. From this point on, he followed the pace of his opponent and wanted to complete the hexagrams, so in the next round he took the twenty-sixth hexagram "Big Animal", and obtained both "Qian" and "Gen". The "夬" hexagram is the forty-third hexagram, and several of his cards are too close, but because it has both "dry" and "dui", Xiang Nanxing hesitated again and again, and still took it off in the eighth round.

It was only at this time that the eight hexagrams he possessed could be disassembled into two complete sets of eight trigrams, which finally reached the ideal state of equilibrium.

It's just that in these three rounds, he is just catching up with the opponent's previous strategy, and he has been one step slower in time. What's even worse is that he found that he couldn't see what the law of the other party's three choices was.

In the sixth round, the young man chose the "Tai" hexagram of the eleventh hexagram, which is just the opposite of the "no" hexagram he had previously chosen, which is the form of Shangkun and Xiaqian. Even if it's for collecting hexagrams, it's a bit strange to take the two wooden signs next to each other in two consecutive rounds.

It's just that this strange thing continues, and in the seventh round, he followed the choice of the eleventh and twelfth hexagrams in the previous two rounds, and won the "same person" hexagram of the thirteenth hexagram. This is a combination of "dry" and "separate", that is, heaven and fire, but at this time, counting this, the young man already has four hexagrams in his hands that contain the "Qian" hexagram, considering that the "Qian" hexagram in the sixty-four hexagrams is actually the two gossip trigrams put together, then the number of Qiangua in the young man's hand has reached as many as five, which can be regarded as reaching a state of serious imbalance.

"You have a lot of trigrams in your hands, and you still want to keep doing this?" Xiang Nanxing asked tentatively halfway. However, the other party just smiled and did not hesitate to hold down the "same person" hexagram in his hand. "I love the word 'doujin.'" He laughed, and the answer was clearly a joke.

Although you can't see through your opponent's thought process, you can use your actions as a reference. Faced with this practice of obviously hoarding the hexagram, Xiang Nanxing could only guess that this hexagram might be the key to determining the outcome of the victory, so he not only picked up the "夬" hexagram in the eighth round, but then chose the same hexagram with the Qianqian hexagram in the ninth round, the 44th hexagram, the "concubine" hexagram of Shangqian and Xiaxun.

On the other hand, young people are indeed showing that what they say is true. In the second half of the eighth round, he immediately selected the 25th hexagram after Xiang Nanxing won the "夬" hexagram, which is both the "Wu Vain" hexagram of the Qian hexagram and the shock hexagram, and then the "lawsuit" hexagram of the sixth hexagram, which presents the upper and lower hexagrams, which is a combination of heaven and water.

In the last round, according to the principle just now, Xiang Nanxing should have won the tenth hexagram, the "fulfillment" hexagram of the upper and lower hexagrams, so that the opponent could no longer choose the hexagram on the top of the Qiangua. But at this moment, he suddenly had a vague feeling, as if he had been led by the other party all along.

How about doing something that he didn't expect? He secretly raised his eyes to look at his opponent, whose face remained as calm as water.

After some hesitation, Xiang Nanxing finally chose the fifteenth hexagram, the "humble" hexagram of Shangkun and Xiagen. Anyway, the last two choices were just for him to fold, and it didn't matter what he picked up. If you can disturb the other party's thoughts, you can count it as earned.

And his instincts were right. In the last round, the young man did not take the "track" hexagram left by Xiang Nanxing, but chose the 34th hexagram "Da Zhuang" hexagram, which is also a combination of the Qian hexagram and the Zhen hexagram, but this time it is the upper shock and the lower Qian, this arrangement is just the opposite of the "Wu False" hexagram he won in the eighth round.

But Xiang Nanxing only noticed at this time that with the addition of the "Da Zhuang" hexagram to his hand, the opponent at this time was equal to holding two pairs of opposite combinations of hexagrams at the same time. The "Wu False" hexagram and the "Da Zhuang" hexagram just mentioned are one group, and the other group is the "No" hexagram and the "Tai" hexagram won in succession in the fifth and sixth rounds. On the other side, Xiang Nanxing has no similar combination in his hands.

"Oops, there's still this usage!" Xiang Nanxing suddenly realized that he had made a mistake again. As in the middle rounds, he was too passive to chase the opponent's strategy, and what he could observe and think was inevitably limited. However, the opponent seized the opportunity and continued to disguise his true intentions with a series of seemingly purposeful moves, as he did at the beginning of the second round.

The opponent frantically chose the hexagram with "Qian" for several rounds in a row, but in the end, he collected another pair of hexagrams with opposite shapes in addition to the "no" hexagram and the "Tai" hexagram that he had received before.

With these two pairs of special hexagrams in his hands, it is very likely that they will become killer features that will eventually have the ability to end the game. The reason for this is very simple, just like the size of the number, if you lose a card with a small number first, it means that the game is a big win, so the card with a large number in your hand can be safely left until the critical moment to win.

As for why he had two sets of cards, it was because he needed to experiment with the first set of cards and set aside one set for backup. For example, in the example above, if all goes well, he will have two cards with a high number to use after the rule of winning with big, but if the law behind him is to win with a small number, his two cards with high numbers will be void.

That way, he has at least one small number card to use at a crucial moment.

Of course, the game Xiang Nanxing and the others are facing at this time is not necessarily as simple as guessing the size of the number, but no matter how complex it is, it is limited. There is so much information on the wooden sign, if it is not a serial number, at most it is to use the above hexagram to compare, consider the relationship between mutual growth and mutual restraint. The latter has more dimensions of thinking, but as long as the law is found, the previous line of thought can undoubtedly be followed.

"Forget it, don't think about it. Next, be careful not to be led by the nose. Xiang Nanxing clenched his fists and secretly encouraged himself.

At this time, of course, he knew that he was not only lagging behind, but also had no chance to reverse the disadvantage. The card selection stage is over, and the only thing you can do at this time is to adjust your mindset and face the next official battle. Fortunately, neither side is clear about how to decide the winner, so even if they take the initiative in the card selection stage, they may not really have the advantage.

And the host Takuma Higayama also announced with a calm face at this time that he had entered the next link.

"Now, please pick two more wooden signs out of the ten wooden signs selected and set them aside in order to indicate abandonment." He repeated in an emphatic tone, "Note that the two pieces are chosen one after the other, and 'do not repeat'. ”

"Don't repeat?" The young man opposite frowned. This sentence is a bit redundant.

To this, Higayama only shrugged his shoulders and responded, "The rules specify that this sentence should be said." ”

"And the ones that are thrown away in turn, does it make any difference? It's boring. Xiang Nanxing pretended to complain, but in fact quietly tried it.

It's just that Huang Lao's rules are kept secret so well that even the host in charge of this game can only see some of the rules, and it is even more difficult to get a glimpse of the whole picture. Facing Xiang Nanxing's questioning, Long Shan pondered his shoulders and emphasized again with an expressionless face: "That's what the rules say, I'll just read it out." If you ask me, I don't know what's going on. It's just ......"

His face suddenly had an expression that seemed to be smiling, and his voice became sharp, and his whole temperament was completely different. "I suggest you think about this, maybe the key to breaking the rules of the game is here, huh." He sneered a few times, and then quickly added, "But I can imagine that many people still can't figure it out until they die in this game. Will you be one of them? ”

His sudden change of face, like a personality change, had appeared very briefly in Liang Jingmo's previous game, and it was just a self-question and answer at that time, and it changed back again, which felt a little scary. At this time, when you look at it up close, you feel even more frightening and crazy. It's like being soaked in the madness of the game he just hosted, and finally those madness is going to cause a lesion in him.

Xiang Nanxing's back suddenly cooled, and he just wanted to say something to refute but subconsciously paused. When he finally adjusted his emotions, Changshan pondered and returned to the cold appearance he had just now.

"Make a decision." He reminded.

Xiang Nanxing sighed, thought for a while, and finally decided to discard the last two wooden signs according to the original plan.

It's no secret which cards both sides will give up at this point. For Xiang Nanxing, after the first eight rounds, he has already gathered two complete sets of Bagua hexagrams, and at the same time has the second hexagram and the sixty-fourth hexagram, two numbers close to the extreme, no matter whether he wants to compete with the content of the hexagram or the size of the serial number, he has the strength to fight. So the two choices in turns 9 and 10 were originally planned to deal with this weird fold in the rules.

When he set aside the "Qian" and "Ji" hexagrams in the reverse order they had just drawn, his opponent discarded the two extra wooden signs, as he expected. In the first five rounds, he made up enough of the "Qian" hexagram with the first serial number, plus a complete set of eight trigrams, and this part will definitely not move. The "Tai" hexagram and the "Wu Delusion" hexagram and the "Da Zhuang" hexagram in the sixth round were three of his two opposite sets of cards, and they would definitely not be thrown away. In this way, the hand is also full.

Therefore, the two wooden cards discarded by the other party are the "same person" hexagram and the "lawsuit" hexagram.

Xiang Nanxing looked at the situation here, but suddenly noticed a movement somewhere in his field of vision. He found that even during the discarding session, the camera in charge of filming the situation on the scene would move the camera to accurately follow the discarded wooden signs.

"What's the use of folding?"

He was puzzled when the door of the venue opened, and the two hosts who had just gone out came back one after the other, each carrying a small medical kit in their hands.

"Good, just the right time."

As he spoke, he took out the black box containing the blood of both players.

"One last step before the cards are played: Now let's start explaining the 'Trials of Blood' part."
