Xuanying Niangniang was hit by the bad news of Wankong's death, her face completely aged, and she no longer regarded herself as the noble emperor and queen of the gods. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

She planned to explain the rules for Shui Ling'er to enter the Emperor God Palace, but Shui Ling'er could sense that she was obviously suppressing the pain in her heart and forcing a smile.

He couldn't bear it, and wanted to comfort her, but he really didn't know what to say, so he thought that it would be good to listen to her start talking about this chessboard, at least it would be able to divert her attention and help her grief, so he stopped talking and began to listen carefully.

Xuanying stood in the middle of the chessboard, pointed to his feet and said: "Elephant play, also known as drama soldiers." When the ancient Yellow Emperor fought, he took the beast as the array, and the elephant was the beast male, so it was also called the elephant play. ”

Shui Ling'er nodded, he had learned this from Yan Xian.

Xuanying continued: "The content in the phantom talisman can be simple or complex, and how to set it depends on how much talent the caster has in his belly. In order to prevent the south wind from harming us, the Son of Heaven designed the secret language of the solution as this game of elephant play, as long as the chess player wins, he can crack the chessboard array and dissolve the illusion talisman. At that time, the gate of the Imperial Palace will appear.

"To find out the gate of the Emperor God Palace, it is not by martial arts, but by playing chess in the cultural fight......" Shui Ling'er was dumbfounded.

Xuanying just lowered his head to explain, but didn't notice the strange look on his face.

"The Xiangju chessboard has eleven roads and thirty-four chess pieces, divided into two armies. The chess pieces contain six pawns, one for generals, one for partials, and one for pigs, and two for elephants, rooks, horses, and cannons. Both armies occupy each end of the board, with the dividend and black side. The chess pieces are located at one hundred and twenty-one intersections, and the chess pieces can land along the line according to the rules of marching. The chess player must stand on the chess table, push the chess pieces to move with internal force, and must not step on the intersection point, otherwise he will fall into the grid, and the person will turn the chess on his back, and there will be no way to live. ”

As soon as she finished explaining the rules, she heard the sound of a "creaking" iron tool turning under her feet, which sounded like a large metal mechanism was activated under the chessboard.

Immediately afterwards, the chessboard that was still empty just now, the huge bony chess pieces were like a round platform, one after another from the bottom of the board drilled up, the effort was not large, and the black and red chess pieces were already in place.

The chess game is set.

At this time, Shui Ling'er was not only nervous, but also layers of cold sweat were constantly breaking out on his forehead.

"Which of the black and red sides am I?" he asked, shuddering.

Xuan Ying noticed that his voice was trembling, raised his head and looked at him puzzled, and replied: You can choose between red or black, but once you choose a side and stand on the chess piece, you can no longer regret it, otherwise you will take the initiative to admit defeat and give up the right to move. Black and red end the game with one side winning, and the losing side is beheaded when the winner lands the last one.

"Beheading? What did Niangniang say, beheading?" Shui Ling'er heard these two words, a jade face had turned earthy gray, pointed to the chess pieces and asked: "Who are the two main generals in this game?"

Xuan Ying said: "The chess ideas of the two sides, the Son of Heaven has been set according to his chess score. So if you choose to play the red player, he is the black player, and the game will be played according to Black's settings. ”

"This ...... In case, if the loser is me, won't I be beheaded?" Shui Ling'er's scalp was numb, and her legs were soft.

Xuanying Niangniang had been observing his expression, and had already sensed that something was wrong, and now when she heard him say this frustrating words, she suddenly became anxious, grabbed him and said: "You can't lose! Ling'er, if you lose, it means that the spell of the illusion talisman will be completely destroyed, not broken, and we will all die here, and there will be no chance to get out!"

"I ......" he froze, his gray face turned red again, and he longed to hit the chess piece headlong and die of it.

Once Zhuyue and Yanxian had the heart to teach him elephant opera, but he just didn't care, he always thought that playing chess was like playing, wasting time, instead of spending a lot of time pondering how to fiddle with the dozen or so particles, it was better to study the Nine Palaces Spiral Astrolabe.

But I never thought that there would be such a day when this skill became a nirvana, not only did it need to be used, but once it lost, it would have to take your life. He really regretted not being at the beginning, and at the same time vainly hoped that the inkstone immortal would suddenly appear in front of him.

Seeing that he was so embarrassed, Xuanying Niangniang had already guessed the clue, and exclaimed: "Ling'er, don't you understand elephant opera?"

"No, no, I understand...... Ling'er understands ......" He didn't dare to tell her the truth, so he could only be perfunctory, and at the same time thought helplessly: "I still remember some chess rules, so I can only bite the bullet." The only hope now is that this Demon Exterminator is not very proficient in chess, and it would be better if he was a half-like me!"

Thinking about it, he gritted his teeth and stomped his feet, and jumped onto the "general" of the red side.

As soon as he stepped on the platform, the entire chessboard ground trembled violently, and the seventeen blacks on the opposite side of the red side let out a neat low roar, each of them waiting for the red character to be killed.

Xuanying Niangniang had jumped out of the chessboard at this time, leaving the battlefield to Shui Ling'er.

She stood on a small platform, staring at him worriedly, her eyes full of suspicion. (To be continued.) )
