Xu Hao asked people to find a jujube board with a thickness of inches, as well as a brush.

The onlookers were starring, and they also wanted to know what was the difference between the fighting beast chess and the stream beast chess, and what kind of connection it had.

Qin Mo saluted Xu Hao with his fists, then took the brush from his master's hand, and ran the [Pen as a Knife] star in the Wen Palace, and the literary power entered the pen through the arm and condensed on the pen.

The pen is like a sharp blade ready to fire, flashing with cold light.

An onlooker exclaimed: "It's so powerful [using the pen as a knife], the distance is so far, the old man can still feel the chill brought out by the pen, and the double-armored boy is really extraordinary." ”

Someone chimed in and said: "Yes, just this skill, Qin Shuangjia is no longer inferior to the average calligraphy talent." ”

These two were not guests of Song Xi's banquet, and the matter had already spread in the morning, and by the afternoon the trial had reopened, and there were many more onlookers, in addition to scribes and literati, there were also many common people.

In fact, even if it is a guest of Song Xi, there are not many people who can insist that the Xi Beast Chess was created by him at this time.

Song Xi's forehead was covered with sweat, of course he didn't want Qin Mo to make the so-called beast chess, so that he would lose his reputation, plus the fact that he was removed from the title of Lisheng before, he didn't want to have a chance to turn over in this life.

Qin Mo took a deep breath and raised the brush in his hand to scratch the jujube board.

As we all know, jujube wood grows very slowly, and the density of wood exceeds that of ordinary tree species, so it is not difficult to cut it.

Swish!

A glimmer of light flashed, and the two-foot-long plank was split in two.

Qin Mo chose the jujube board on the right and cut it into eight pieces in the same way, each one inch square, and the size was extremely standard.

Then he erected the wooden blocks, arranged them neatly in a row, and used the pen as a knife again.

With the light of the pen, the wooden block splits in two from the middle to sixteen, all of the same thickness.

Another onlooker scribe praised: "No wonder he can become a double-class boy, he has only been admitted to the county Wendao Academy for more than a month, and his strength is already so strong, let me wait for shame." ”

"I heard that Qin Shuangjia is going to take the government exam in a few days, and I bet he will definitely be able to pass the exam. ”

"To be honest, from the beginning I didn't believe that the beast chess was created by Song Xi, and now it seems that he must have stolen it from Qin Shuangjia, and he also cheekily named it Xi Beast Chess, which is simply Sven scum. ”

The onlookers were obviously divided into two camps, one side supported Qin Mo and the other side supported Song Xi.

But the side that supports Song Xi is obviously weak, and many people choose to be silent, if it weren't for the invitation of the Song family, they have to stand on Song Xi's side, I believe that many people have already fallen to the other side.

Song Xi was resentful in his heart, how could any good thing have anything to do with Qin Mo.

At the same time, he also regretted it a little, if he knew that the beast chess was related to Qin Mo, he would never have a crooked mind, the official investigation during the county examination had already made him lose his name, and the lesson was not a big one.

But the matter has come to this, he can only face it hard, and he can't give up until the end.

Qin Mo placed the finished wooden blocks neatly in front of him, and began to write with a pen dipped in ink: elephant, lion, tiger, leopard......

Song Xi's eyes lit up, and he said in a mocking tone: "I thought that Qin Shuangjia would make innovations, but I didn't expect that in the end, I still borrowed from the Xi Beast Chess, not only the number of chess pieces is the same, but even the content is the same." ”

Qin Mo turned a deaf ear to this and continued to concentrate on writing.

Gu Meng couldn't tolerate such ridicule, and said sharply: "Song Xi, you still don't want to repent of it, as a student of the county academy, stealing the achievements of others and not admitting it, aren't you afraid of being spurned by others?"

Song Xi regained his previous self-confidence, and took Gu Meng's accusation seriously at all, and retorted: "Dr. Gu, it stands to reason that students should respect you, but you slander students without evidence, is this what you should do as a teacher?"

Gu Meng was not lightly angry, and Song Xi continued: "No matter how you coerce and lure, the students only have one sentence, the Creek Beast Chess is indeed created by me, not to mention facing the county lord, even when you go to the Nanjing City Government, the students also say the same." ”

Gu Meng said angrily: "Qin Mo returned to Muyang Town half a month ago, and the Creek Beast Chess appeared ten days ago, and you did go to Muyang Town thirteen days ago, is this a coincidence?"

Song Xi sneered, and said in a tone that was neither humble nor arrogant: "What can the three times you mentioned illustrate? The Creek Beast Chess was created by me a long time ago, and it was only announced ten days ago, could it be that because Qin Mo went to Muyang Town before the students, it can prove that this chess was created by him? Dr. Gu's theory is too far-fetched, I'm afraid even a three-year-old child can't be convinced." ”

Gu Meng was not lightly angry, and snorted: "You wait, Ziyi will come up with evidence, and Dr. Ben will definitely make you look good at that time!"

He had already made the decision to clean up the portal, and a person with a bad mind like Song Xi was not worthy of continuing to stay in the County Wendao Academy.

Now that he has torn his face, Song Xi is not afraid of offending Gu Meng again, and said-for-tat: "Okay, the student is waiting." I want to see if Qin Mo can come up with a beast chess that is different from the Xi Beast Chess, whether I steal it or he plagiarizes it, it will soon come to light. ”

Xu Hao didn't speak, he was waiting for evidence.

As a magistrate, he does not jump to conclusions until he sees the evidence.

At the same time, Qin Mo completed the writing of the entire set of chess pieces, using two types of scripts, regular script and official script, to show the difference.

Next, he began to make the chessboard, because the remaining jujube wood board was too small, he asked his master to bring a thicker piece of rice paper and draw the chessboard with a brush.

As the horizontal and vertical lines jumped on the paper, everyone immediately saw the clues, and the original difference was on the chessboard.

Bestiality is a four-by-four checkered board in which the pieces are placed face up, and both players must turn over the pieces before they can move down.

The new chessboard drawn by Qin Mo is a rectangle of seven times nine, with a total of sixty-three grids.

Song Xi couldn't help frowning, thinking that there were only sixteen chess pieces, but there were sixty-three chessboards, how could he play?

Not only him, but even Gu Meng, who has made great achievements in chess, can't figure it out.

Then everyone was surprised to find that the chessboard had not yet been completed, and Qin Mo continued to write and draw on it.

First, he writes on the square in the middle of the first and last rows of the chessboard: Beast's Den.

Like the font used for the chess pieces, the two "beast's dens" are written in regular script and official script, respectively.

Then, he used the corresponding font to write the word "trap" on the beast's den, on the left, and on the right.

Everyone was confused, not understanding what "beast den" and "trap" meant, only Xu Hao could still keep calm.

Qin Mo dipped the brush in ink again, and the tip of the pen fell on the paper.

The old showman who had praised him before spoke again and said, "Could it be that the new chessboard is related to the way chess is played?"

It dawned on everyone that chess meant that there were more squares on the board than on the pieces, but the difference was that the chess walked at the intersection of the lines, not in the grid.

This time, Qin Mo chose three rows of grids in the middle of the chessboard, leaving the three columns on both sides and the middle blank, and drawing water ripples in the remaining two two-by-three areas to represent the small river, and the three blank columns were for the small bridge.

Lao Xiucai's eyes lit up involuntarily, and said: "Sure enough, it is related to chess, and the two water wave areas are similar to the Chu River Han Realm." ”

Someone next to him immediately asked: "Brother Qi has seen the way to play chess, hurry up and tell us about it." ”

Lao Xiucai blushed, shook his head and said: "Old and talented, I just see the connection between the chessboard and chess, as for the method of chess, I haven't understood it yet." ”

The crowd looked disappointed.

Qin Mo put away the brush, took out the eight chess pieces written in italics, and then placed four chess pieces on the horizontal row next to the river, including elephant, wolf, leopard, and mouse, with a space between each chess piece.

Then place two chess pieces in the second row, the cat and the dog, which correspond to the three squares vacated in the previous row with the trap above the beast's den.

Then, two chess pieces, the tiger and the lion, are placed on the squares on the left and right sides of the last row.

Finally, he placed eight more pieces on the other side in the same way.

At this moment, the beast chess is all completed.

Song Xi gasped, there is really a beast chess!

Although everyone still doesn't know how to play chess, just from the arrangement of the chessboard and chess pieces, Fighting Beast Chess and Xi Beast Chess can be described as one heaven and one underground.

Everyone is not stupid, and they quickly have a conclusion in their hearts.

Qin Mo can make more complex beast fighting chess, and the rudimentary thing of beast chess is not a problem.

Facing dozens of suspicious glances, Song Xi panicked, but he still said stiffly: "What's so strange about this, Qin Mo improved on the basis of the Xi Beast Chess, and then obtained the method of Fighting Beast Chess." Even if the fighting beast chess is better than the brook beast chess, it can't be separated from the inspiration brought by the brook beast chess......"

"I'm going to introduce you to the rules of Colosseum. Qin Mo interrupted Song Xi's words.

If he chooses to refute, he will inevitably fall behind.

He's so smart, of course he chooses to grab everyone's attention in other ways.

"The method of chess is very simple, each piece can make one square at a time in an area that represents the land. The big beast eats the small beast, the mouse can eat the elephant, and the same chess pieces can eat each other, that is, they will die together. He spoke eloquently, and picked up the chess pieces for demonstration, no one cared about Song Xi's previous arguments, but listened carefully to the rules.

"Lions and tigers can jump horizontally and vertically over rivers and directly capture the opponent's chess pieces in the corresponding position. ”

"Only rats can enter the river, and they can walk one block at a time in the river, and when two rats meet in the river, they can eat each other. ”

"When there are rats in the river, lions and tigers cannot jump over it. ”

"There are two ways to win, one is to eat up the opponent's pieces, and the other is to attack the opponent's den. Before entering the den, you must first pass through the trap, and the pieces that enter the trap can be captured by the opponent with any piece, regardless of size. ”

"If the piece that enters the trap is not captured by the opponent, the next step is to enter the beast's den. ”

As the words fell, he put the "tiger" chess in his hand into the beast's den.

Swish!

Sixteen chess pieces emitted light at the same time, and everyone was caught off guard and closed their eyes one after another.

Someone exclaimed, "This ...... This is the manifestation of the Holy Stone of the Throne, which means that the beast chess has passed its approval and has become a new chess skill that can be used by scribes!"

Everyone was in an uproar, and all eyes converged on Qin Mo.
