Volume 1 The Vessel of Hao Chapter 6 The Origin of Chess

There are many interesting stalls around the Beast Spirit Pagoda Square, but Zhang Haotian has never been interested, after all, what he has encountered in the past few days has really made his mood uneasy. As Zhang Haotian walked, he found that the road in front of him was blocked by a group of five or six-year-old children.

He turned his head and found that the children were surrounded by a storyteller, who seemed to be telling about the charmer, these five or six-year-old children naturally liked the charmer, myths and legends, etc., and it was not surprising that it was so popular with children here, since it was impossible to go, then listen to it for the time being.

“...... And said that the evil emperor made the Dao world miserable, a miasma, the barbarian patriarch naturally could not let the evil emperor behave recklessly, the barbarian patriarch and the big apprentices opened the rune school, widely accepted disciples, with the six runes as the body, granted people runes, ascended to heaven and earth omnipotent, since then the rune master in the Dao world is prosperous and prosperous, but also with the six colors of the Dao rune yellow, blue, blue, white, red, purple will be divided into six levels, each level is divided into three levels of entry, Baixiao, Niantong, a total of eighteen steps. Needless to say, the Purple Rank Niantong Talisman Master is a rare leader under the throne of the Barbarian Yuan Patriarch.

"There are just five purple-level Niantong Talisman masters, and the Barbarian Yuan Patriarch taught the five people and the Five Elements Bagua Great Array, and the Northern Evil Emperor Valley and the Evil Emperor launched a shocking battle, crying ghosts and gods, the smoke and ashes of that war covered the sky and the sun, and the northern region did not grow a single inch of grass for a while, and the land is desolate and barren so far. This ended with the suppression of the evil emperor by the Five Elements Great Array, and the beings in the Dao realm broke free from the clutches of the evil emperor and regained their vitality. You will also one day, touch the runes, worship the sect, enter the runes, and experience the glorious future of a runeman.

"The rune master was at his peak for a while, so he formed the Holy Dao Division to manage the six domains of the Dao realm, and the Holy Dao Division is composed of thirteen rune families, divided into five families and eight families, among which the upper five demon exterminators Zhang family, and the lower eight families are the frequent visitors of the Beast Spirit Tower Conference behind us. In the future, if you make a name for yourself in the Dao Realm, you will be able to get the respect of these families and rise to prominence.

Hearing this, Zhang Haotian couldn't help but smile bitterly, if he was an incompetent person, even if he was born in these families, he was just a waste chess piece that was discarded casually. Zhang Haotian didn't want to listen to it anymore, so he squeezed into the pile of children, trying to squeeze to the opposite side.

"There are six major sects in the Dao world, the world is called Dongyuan Stone, West Qingcheng, South Dinghai, North Wilderness, Handing Tongtian, and the world is sleepy. This is the Six Domains and Six Sects, each based on one side, and it is the most desirable place for Dao Realm Talismans......"

Zhang Haotian finally squeezed out of this group of five or six-year-old children, the storyteller seemed to be talking endlessly, but Zhang Haotian had no patience to listen, these things were things he had seen in the family library, after being despised by so many people in the family, Zhang Haotian had tried to find a solution to his inability to perform spells from the book, after trying to understand those complex and profound words again and again, Zhang Haotian finally understood the fact that there is no so-called way to let unqualified people cast spells. Perhaps feeling the judgment of fate on him, Zhang Hao was a genius who blindly hid in the world of the chessboard.

He looked up and looked ahead, it was almost time to return to the family's viewing platform, but he swept a glance at a small stall with four spirit chess, which seemed to be a chess game. At this time, there was a little girl of eight or nine years old crouching in front of the chessboard, and the confused expression on her little face could be seen that she seemed to be helpless to play chess.

Judging from the Dao robe on her body, she should still be a talisman and come from a certain family. Her long orange hair was braided into a twist with a green silk hairband and hung down her shoulders, waist-length and flat, and she looked a kind of down-and-out and generous quiet, like a deep boudoir, and her purple pupils kept staring at the chessboard.

Maybe it was the attraction of the Four Spirits Chess game, Zhang Haotian unconsciously walked to the little girl's side, looked at her next move, only to see her pick up the Spirit Breath Chess, pushed forward two squares, Zhang Haotian couldn't help laughing, this laugh immediately made the little girl unhappy, I saw her angrily puffing back and glaring at Zhang Haotian: "What's wrong?

"No, don't you know how to play chess?"

seemed to be said by Zhang Haotian, she was a little annoyed and angry, and still said stiffly: "I will!"

Zhang Haotian felt a little funny, this obviously didn't even know the way to move the chess pieces, but she was still hard-mouthed, but her stubborn expression was a little cute, and the contrast with Miss Wenjing's dress was interesting, Zhang Haotian smiled and said: "But Lingxi chess is the head of chess, you can't go like this, even if you can go like this, if you go to this position, the next move will be completely lost." ”

"Alas, little girl, can you learn if you don't know how to play chess? The old man who set up the stall was also a little helpless, he just wanted to have fun today, and he wanted to catch a few good chess players to try his new exquisite chess game, but he didn't expect to catch a little girl who couldn't play chess. The old man reached out and put the spirit breath chess back into its place.

The little girl wilted all of a sudden, muttering, "I want to learn, but my family doesn't want to teach me, saying that it's delaying my cultivation......"

"Then your family isn't looking at you now, right?" Zhang Haotian asked.

The little girl's clear eyes immediately stared at Zhang Haotian and replied, "No, I sneaked out, anyway, it's my brother who came to participate in the Beast Spirit Festival today, and it's not me, how boring it is to stay with adults." ”

"Then I'll teach you. Zhang Haotian didn't know why he said these words, maybe it was just impulsive.

"Really?" The little girl's eyes lit up, very surprised, her excited little face was about to come to Zhang Haotian, this was also the first time Zhang Haotian was so close to a girl he didn't know, and he could feel her snort. Zhang Haotian was embarrassed for a while, took a step back, and reached out to wipe his face a few times.

"Really, I'm going to play chess with my grandfather, you can watch from the side and see how we play chess?" Zhang Haotian said, squatting down in front of the chessboard, gearing up, as if he was about to face not a game of chess, but a big battle.

"Forget it, forget it, if you can play a game of chess, this chess game will be set up later. The old man seemed to want to think that Zhang Haotian wanted to play a game of chess directly with him, but when he was about to set up the chessboard, he was stopped by Zhang Haotian reaching out.

"No need, old man, just this chess game, I have thought of a way to break the game. ”

Just seeing Zhang Haotian's sharp eyes, the old man knew that the ten-year-old child in front of him was by no means casually boasting about Haikou, after all, it was an eye that could only be sharpened after experiencing many chess duels, focused and fierce, full of desire for chess.

"Okay, then come on. ”

"By the way, the reward I won, count it as hers. ”

Zhang Haotian knows how to break this chess game, because he once went through the same game of chess with Xi'er, but the execution is just the opposite of now, but Zhang Haotian thought that he could win the first sentence against Xi'er, but he didn't expect that in the end, Xi'er's chess style twisted, and he survived the game and reversed the chess momentum to win the chess game.

Zhang Haotian concocted it in the same way, using Xi'er's path to deal with this chess game, and the old man's playing method was exactly the same as Zhang Haotian at the beginning, Zhang Haotian knew that he had won, and the corners of his mouth were unconsciously raised.

The old man gradually fell into a disadvantage, and with each move, the more difficult it was to move the next move. When Zhang Haotian's victory was decided, and the old man had no children to move, he had to admit defeat.

"I lost, I didn't expect that the exquisite chess game I was thinking about was broken by a ten-year-old child, it seems that it is really useless. ”

"Grandpa, it's just a fluke for the younger generation, I once played the same game of chess with others, but at that time I used the old grandfather's chess, and I was the one who was beaten to pieces, and now I just learned from her, so I just repeated the trick. ”

"The person who plays chess with you must be a very good person," the old man should not have expected that Zhang Haotian would win by a small maid, "You who can remember chess games are also very good, I can't remember so many chess games." You will be very promising again in the future. ”

Zhang Haotian smiled decently, he knew that he had no future, and when he heard this compliment, he didn't have half a joy in his heart.

The old man took out a box of woodcarved four-spirit chess from behind his back and handed it to Zhang Haotian: "Take it, this is the four-spirit chess carved by the old man himself, and it should be regarded as a prize for winning my chess game." ”

Zhang Haotian stretched out his hand and shook it, and then pointed to the little girl behind him: "I said, if you win, it's her prize." ”

For Zhang Haotian, there is no point in having an extra pair of four-spirit chess, if she wants to play chess so much, it would be good to give it to her. The little girl took the Four Spirit Chess and looked at it as carefully as if she were holding a beautiful work of art, and the smile on her face increased.

"Thank you, old man. The little girl thanked the old man well, although she would have a little temper, but she was still a nurturing child at heart.

"Thank him, he won it. ”

After the old man said this, the little girl slowly turned her head to look at Zhang Haotian, and said squirmingly, "Thank you." ”

"Hmm. Zhang Haotian didn't know that it was good to respond like this, but he just snorted.

"What's your name? My name is Eryan. ”

"Zhang Haotian, alas?" Zhang Haotian's reaction was half a beat slower before he realized that the girl in front of him was Eryan, the crazy girl who didn't know where to run.

"Why are you stunned? Didn't you say you were going to teach me how to play chess? Who can learn just a few steps just now? Seeing Zhang Haotian stunned in place, Er Yan stared at Zhang Haotian in annoyance.

"Hmm...... Oh...... Good. Zhang Haotian was a little confused, in fact, he should have understood Er Yan's identity a long time ago, after all, the family robe of the Ba Fu Er family on her body was so obvious, I don't know why I ignored it just now, is it her face that attracts her compared to her clothes?

In fact, compared to Zhang Haotian, the old man was the most frightened, and it wasn't until the two in front of him reported their names that the old man understood that one of the people who came to play chess with him was the daughter of the son of the family, and the other was the son of the Zhang family. The old man didn't realize that what he was witnessing was not only the miraculous friendship of the younger generation of the Zhang family, but also the beginning of a distorted marriage.
