Tomorrow night is the biennial Hundred Ghosts Ceremony in Zhao Rang City. Although it was already evening when we came out of Rong’s Sword Stove, the streets were still very lively. Xie Yingzhou felt lazy and didn’t want to cook, and a few people had dinner at the restaurant outside before going back home. Home.

Walking on the dark blue streets of Zhaorang City, the summer night wind blows slowly, Xie Yingzhou looked up and saw a round of bright moon hanging high in the sky ahead, the dark sky was covered with bright stars, they emitted The quiet light is like a layer of tulle, gently covering everyone.

In the past few days, she has been immersed in the conspiracy of Changliu Zhufeng plotting against herself. As an "ignorant" traveler, the most powerful person in this world is plotting against herself. Xie Yingzhou can't think of any There are other ways out, so in the past few days, she has either cultivated to become stronger or tried to calculate the next path that she and Ye Wujian can take next, and she rarely has free time to enjoy such beautiful scenery quietly.

Of course, even if the other party is the most powerful person in the world, Xie Yingzhou will not give up the revenge she wants to carry out, but her revenge timeline will be very long, and she needs to become stronger and more careful cautious.

Fortunately, after she ate Jushang, it was not as difficult to avoid being hunted down as before. She just had to forge her identity and turn into another face, and Ye Wujian could also hide her identity with Wugou , but this matter needs to be carefully planned with Ye Wujian. Their initial plan is to go to the imperial capital Zhenyang, where the population exceeds 100 million and there are mixed fish and dragons. It is a very suitable place to hide. At the same time, Xie Yingzhou also wants to see Take a look at what the most prosperous city in the world looks like.

"It's a good night..." Qin Yue's voice suddenly came from the little bell.

"Didn't you see it every day in Yuedao?" Xie Yingzhou asked.

"It's a matter of playing games!" Unexpectedly, Qin Yue immediately followed up with this sentence.

Xie Yingzhou suspected that her ears had misheard. Doesn't the game of chess refer to gambling? Is this what an ancient literary and artistic young woman said?

"I don't know, Wujian, do you play games?" Xie Yingzhou asked Ye Wujian who was walking quietly, and the latter shook his head, with a look of bewilderment on his face, not understanding why Xie Yingzhou asked this suddenly.

"There's a sundry shop over there. Buy a pair of playing horse chess and go back to play. I can teach you guys. I haven't played for a long time!"

Xie Yingzhou recalled what she saw when she accidentally entered the Zhao Rang Casino. Those two little girls from the past were happily playing a chess game that looked like modern flying chess. Hearing what Qin Yue said at this time, Xie Yingzhou was even more sure of her The identities of the two girls I saw, the tall one who always smiles should be Qin Yue when she was a child, and the shorter one is Yin Ya's mother, Chang Liu Zhu Feng.

"No!" Xie Yingzhou refused maliciously.

"I am your teacher, I order you to buy!"

"Not buying!"

"...This is one of those ten requirements."

"Okay, I'll buy it."

"Smelly girl with a belly full of bad water!"

Xie Yingzhou laughed triumphantly, took out her small purse, and walked to the grocery store not far away.

When buying horse chess, Xie Yingzhou realized that it was actually a game that could be played by five people, and she couldn't help becoming interested, because she, Ye Wujian, little tiger, lamb, and Qin Yue happened to be five.

After transmigrating into this world, Xie Yingzhou seldom relaxes herself. The only entertainment is probably reading and shopping, but she also does these two entertainments with a strong purpose.

And Ye Wujian Xijing was not very interested in entertainment. After arriving in Zhaorong City, the demonic energy in her body was suppressed by unknown forces for some reason, but she was in the stage of mental fasting, and her heart was still unable to move. When I calm down, I completely lose my appreciation for entertainment that I would do before, such as listening to books in a tea house.

It doesn't matter if you're an adult, but Yinshan Jun and Jiuying are still children at heart. Children from the neighbors will occasionally come to play with them, but there are too few entertainments in this era. They are bound in the Taoyuan and rarely go out alone. Life is boring.

But mainly because they don't like to go to crowded places.Xie Yingzhou, a dereliction of duty parent, defended herself in her heart.

After buying a pair of playing horse chess and a copy of "The Book of Playing Horse", which introduces the various rules and games of playing horse chess, everyone went home.

"I didn't expect this book to still be sold after so many years." Qin Yue said with emotion.

"what happened?"

"This book was published when I was 9 years old."

"I was addicted to gambling at such a young age," Xie Yingzhou taunted, "A girl addicted to gambling."

"Shut up, this is a game only smart people can play, watch me beat you to pieces, oh, come on, just play under the gourd stand." Qin Yue urged eagerly.

"No hurry, let me study how to play first."

"I'll go get some snacks." Ye Wujian looked at Xie Yingzhou and Yin Shanjun Jiuying who were all excited, and walked to the kitchen.

"There are dried meat and candied fruit in the hanging bamboo basket." Xie Yingzhou reminded, and began to look down at the rule book seriously.

Playing horse chess is similar to modern flying chess, that is, the player has a number of chess pieces. The chess pieces start from the starting point, and the players roll the dice one by one.

But there are only two destinations for playing horse chess. The five players take these two destinations as the common goal and rush to the destination first. The biggest difference is that the players playing horse chess have more chess pieces. Xie Yingzhou according to Qin Yue Opinion, choose a game called "Yi Jing Ma", each player has as many as [-] chess pieces, these chess pieces are made of fine copper, very exquisite, with a horse hoof raised high carved in the middle , and on the horse, that is, in the middle of the chess piece, a small square hole is carved out, which gives these chess pieces a name: horse money.

On the front of the horse money, some horse names are written, such as Zhuifeng, Juechen, Tayue and so on.

Xie Yingzhou looked at the rule book and simulated the moves in her mind. She felt that with so many pieces moving on a chessboard with only 91 grids, it would definitely feel like a galloping horse.

However, the most difficult rule of playing horse chess is the meaning of the dice points. Three twelve-sided dice, the points on six sides are from one to six, which are solid points, and the points on the other six sides are the same. It is one to six, but these six sides are distinguished by dots.

This makes the throwing of the dice very complicated. Xie Yingzhou looked at the complicated color samples printed on the "Da Ma Tu Jing", and the points that appeared in each type of dice almost had their names, which also represented Different moves, such as throwing three virtual dots at the same time, called full pot of stars...

"Let's watch while playing." Qin Yue couldn't wait any longer. She looked at Xie Yingzhou, a little white tiger, and a kid goat. The three of them put their heads together, and were silently memorizing "The Book of Horse Fighting", a little speechless. Yes.

Forget it Xie Yingzhou, she didn't expect the little white tiger and the little goat to be so competitive. Even though they are still very young, they can bear to read such a complicated rule book of horse chess. This is probably the so-called object follows the master's form.

Ye Wujian took a plate of dried meat and a plate of candied fruit to the low table under the gourd stand, and while putting it down, sat down next to Xie Yingzhou, and looked down at the book on playing horses in her hand. She used to play horse chess when she was a child. Watching Ming Huanshan's other disciples play, although she has not participated in it, she has also looked for the rule book in private, unlike Xie Yingzhou and the others, her eyes are smeared.

"Don't worry." It's fun to play, Xie Yingzhou intends to read the rule book before starting, and she doesn't want to lose so casually.

Qin Yue had no choice but to wait for them to finish reading the rulebook before dividing up their share of horse money. She couldn't wait to say that she would drive first, and Xie Yingzhou would do it for her as for the dice throwing.

……

On a summer night, the Taoyuan center is brightly lit, and under a gourd stand where green vines have regrown, Xie Yingzhou's soft voice can be heard from time to time, mixed with a childish and energetic voice.

"Sister Wujian, can you not go here?"

"Ah."

"Aww! Master, don't move this pawn!"

"it is good."

……

Qin Yue "watched" dumbfoundedly at the young man with curvy horns and short soft gray hair who put the last horse money in his hand into the finish line.

After a game of horse chess, Nine Shadows is first, Qin Yue is second, Yin Shanjun is third, Xie Yingzhou is fourth, and Ye Wujian is last.

"I haven't played for a long time, my hands are rusty, let's play another game." Qin Yue suggested again.

"Don't play, don't play, I have other things to do, the little tiger is faster than me, don't let Wu Jian's sister let you." Xie Yingzhou said boldly, and began to pack the horse money scattered on the low table. .

"Aren't you the same? Nine Shadows will play another round tomorrow, and I will definitely beat you." Yin Shanjun sent an invitation letter to Nine Shadows with certainty.

"You can't win." I don't know who gave Mr. Yinshan confidence, No.3 dared to clamor to win No.1, Jiuying helped Xie Yingzhou pack the horse money, his face was full of complacency.

"What else do you need?" Ye Wujian asked, she looked up at the sky, at this time the moon was in mid-heaven, it was not too early.

"Teach Teacher Qin to recognize the sundial in our world, I said it this morning."

"Play another game! Otherwise, I won't admit it."

"Admit it, or I won't play with you anymore."

"...a girl with a belly full of bad water!"

The evening wind blows, and the ginkgo trees in the courtyard of Taoyuanju make a rustling sound, like the murmur of the river. Fireflies flew out of it flickeringly. They shone with faint yellow light and shuttled among the slender grass leaves, making the blooming orchids in the courtyard also reflect a layer of mist. The whole Taoyuan Residence seemed to be in a scene In a beautiful dream, quiet, soft and safe.

The author says:

[The game of playing horse chess in the Song Dynasty is borrowed from the game of playing horse chess in the Song Dynasty (with my own imagination and understanding). The author of "The Book of Horse Playing" is Li Qingzhao. I didn't expect this master to be so good at gambling...but this It doesn’t matter if it’s a novel. In the world in the book that Xie Yingzhou travels through, the description only refers to the humanities, people’s life and entertainment of some dynasties in history in some background settings. I refer to it, and it should mostly be the Song Dynasty or the Ming Dynasty (including but not limited to )]
