Chapter 591: Rhetoric
The gameplay of this ancient chess is simple. Both sides have more than a dozen chess pieces. They can be arranged randomly on the chessboard to attack each other. Whoever's piece is killed and the last one is left will lose. Last time, we met in the black mountain range of the Lost Heart Valley.
When it comes to those two purple-skinned demons playing with stones, this is how they play.
It's just that the two purple-skinned demons used local materials. The chess pieces they played were all the same color and extremely rough. Unlike here, the chess pieces and chessboard here were carefully polished by these demons.
The chess pieces in the hands of the old demon man who played chess with Xiu Chen were all made of black stone. The chess pieces in Xiu Chen's hands had some red color, so that they could be distinguished. The old demon man didn't talk about martial arts, and he was very fast.
He set up a position on his side of the chessboard and took the first step.
"It's your turn, hurry up!" the old demon man said angrily.
Be the first?
At this time, Xiuchen's chess game has not been finished yet. Xiuchen has surrendered, does this guy want to show some respect? The chess game hasn't even started yet, so you make the move first? Is that reasonable?
Xiuchen leisurely placed the last two chess pieces in the most suitable place. He didn't want to cause trouble, so he ignored the old demon's unreasonable behavior. But when he was thinking about what he should do, the demons next to him
The tribe whispered:
"Is this kid okay? He plays the chess pieces so slowly and gives others the first move for free. Isn't this what a chess player should do?"
"I guess Xuan, he seems to be good at playing chess. I'm afraid he hasn't played it before."
"Impossible. What era is this? How can there be people who have never played chess? Maybe this kid is confident and deliberately gives the first move. Well, it's possible. I'm optimistic about him."
Hearing what the demons around him said, Xiu Chen understood and smiled bitterly in his heart. He was not letting go first. He didn't know that this was the rule of the demons playing chess. Whoever finished the chess move first would play first. Isn't this a joke?
Is it moral?
Oh, yes, the demons are indeed immoral and have never done so.
Fortunately, Xiuchen doesn't care about victory or defeat now, so just be shameless and do as the Romans do, that's the rule.
Taking a step casually, Xiuchen smiled and said, "It's your turn."
…
Xiuchen's purpose was not to play chess. After a few rounds of exchanges with the old demon man on the opposite side, Xiuchen suddenly said, seemingly casually:
"I've been playing this kind of chess for ten thousand years and it's boring to death. Is there no other way to play it?"
The old demon man sneered: "You can't play this kind of chess well, what else do you want to play? What are you wishing for!"
After conveniently eating one of Xiuchen's chess pieces, the old demon man continued: "I thought you were some kind of master, but after just a few moves, I've already eaten three of your pieces, and you still have the nerve to accuse me of my mistakes.
, can you play chess!"
Xiuchen said calmly: "Don't worry, this isn't over yet."
The current chess game is indeed not conducive to Xiu Chen, but if Xiu Chen gives in now, the surrounding demons will disperse, so Xiu Chen can only continue to pretend. It doesn't matter how the chess game is, he must have the style of a master.
Xiuchen seemed to say unintentionally: "Speaking of which, haven't you ever considered changing the way you play the game? Change the rules, or create another kind of chess."
"Change the rules? How to change it? Create another kind of chess, how to create it? If you have the ability, you can change it yourself, you can make it yourself." The old demon man complained unhappily, and when he made the move, he had no strength in his hand.
Much bigger.
Xiuchen innocently said: "I think about it too, but I can't figure it out."
"We can't figure it out either!" All the demons in the circle said in unison. Their voices were all a bit high-pitched, and together they were quite deafening.
The old demon man continued to say unhappily: "Are you stupid? The only people who can do these strange tricks are humans. Did we demons get this skill? Why create chess? You can understand this kind of chess.
Not bad.”
The more the chess was played, the more the old demon man felt that Xiu Chen was an amateur who didn't know anything and was playing randomly.
Xiuchen still said casually: "The human race is indeed very powerful in this aspect. I don't know when we can leave here and return to the paradise. It has been ten thousand years. The human race must have come up with more interesting games. I really look forward to it.
ah."
The old demon man cursed: "What a waste of expectations. Didn't you listen to what the little guys who came here some time ago said, we can't get out!"
"Can't we get out? But I heard that the Demon Ancestors are discussing breaking through the restrictions now. The Demon Ancestors have great powers, and they will definitely be able to take us out."
"Humph, want to get out? I can't tell you what year it is. Ten thousand years have passed since that person trapped us here. If we could get out, the Demon Ancestors should have taken us out long ago. Why do we have to wait until now?
?Hmph, that guy really doesn’t care about life even if he’s dead, he’s going to cause trouble for us even if he’s dead.”
As soon as "that person" was mentioned, all the demons here looked like they had eaten flies. They were obviously disgusted. Dao Ancestor, who was highly respected in the outside world, seemed to be more annoying than flies among the demons.
Xiuchen said cautiously: "Yes, that guy is really annoying. I don't know where he died. If I knew, I would dig his grave."
As soon as his words came out, the faces of the surrounding demons suddenly became weird. The old demon man who was playing chess with Xiu Chen said with a puzzled face: "That guy died in the Demon Realm, or in the middle of the Demon Realm. That place is now called Tianyun."
City, you don’t know? That guy’s grave is guarded by the three demon ancestors, Green, Green, and White. Do you want to dig into it?”
"Ah, this... I forgot, I'm sorry, I was joking just now, don't take it seriously." Xiu Chen cupped his hands and turned around as if to apologize. Now he finally knew where Daozu died.
, but it seems he can't go.
Three Demon Ancestors, how much did Dao Ancestor hate them? He has been dead for ten thousand years, and those Demon Ancestors are still showing him his grave. Even the most filial son in the world did not guard his father's grave.
Damn it, these demons are really enough.
"Speaking of which, why are the three Demon Ancestors Green, Green, and White guarding them? Don't the other Demon Ancestors need to take care of them?"
The old demon man threw the chess pieces on the chessboard and asked angrily: "What's going on with you today? Why do you always ask these questions that everyone knows? Why are the three demon ancestors green, green and white taking care of you? What do you think?
Doesn’t make sense?”
Of course Xiuchen couldn't figure it out, and he didn't know anything about the Demon Realm, so how could he possibly figure it out.
"This...why exactly?"
"Nonsense! Tianyue City is at the junction of the green, green, and white clans. Of course, it is for the three demon ancestors to guard it. Our Red Demon clan is so far away. Do we still want our Red Demon ancestors to guard it?
?”
Oh, that's it.
