Zhang Xuan smiled and said: "Mom, in addition to these, we two can also get some living money every year. You are a third-grade imperial wife, and you can get two thousand Sima coins every year. I am a first-grade official, and you can get five thousand Sima coins every year."
As he said that, he took out two official titles from his body, pointed at them and explained them to Ms. Xuan. He also took out two sets of official uniforms, handed one of them to Ms. Xuan, and said, "Mom, this is yours. If you have time, Try it on sometime."
Mrs. Xiao rubbed the splendid costume of Mrs. Gaoming and said with tears in her eyes: "Sir, you not only bring brilliance to my mother's face, but also bring brilliance to the faces of the ancestors of the Zhang family. It's you." The father who is sleeping underground will also feel the light on his face."
Zhang Xuan couldn't help but feel his heart sinking after hearing this. It would be great if his father, Zhang Daniu, lived to this day and saw their mother and son in such glory!
The next day, Baguio came to the official residence again, closed the door with Xiao and muttered for a while, and then left happily.
On the third day, a white-haired old man with an arrogant expression suddenly came to visit. He was the chess master who taught Zhang Xuan's chess skills. His surname was Bai Minglang. According to the arrangement of the royal family, he would teach Zhang Xuan's chess skills from that day on.
Zhang Xuan greeted Bai Lang, invited him to sit down, and made tea for him.
Bai Lang took out a chessboard from his backpack and said to Zhang Xuan who was sitting opposite: "General, this is the chessboard of Wanxiang chess. There are nineteen lines horizontally and vertically, forming 361 intersections. These The intersection is where the black and white pieces fall.”
After that, he took out two colored chess pieces from his backpack, one black and one white.
Seeing this, Zhang Xuan reached out to pick up the sunspot and said, "Mr. Bai, can we get rid of it?"
Bai Lang shook his head expressionlessly and said: "The secret of Wanxiang chess lies in the nine-square moment. When moving a piece, unless the first piece is placed randomly, starting from the second piece, every piece must follow the nine-square principle." The rule of moments, otherwise, the landed chess piece is very likely to be eaten by the opponent's chess piece. The outcome of Wanxiang chess is measured by the number of chess pieces that the player finally leaves on the chessboard. The number of pieces left on the chessboard The more there are, the greater the possibility of winning. Therefore, if you want to learn Wanxiang chess, you must first learn the Nine Squares, otherwise you will definitely lose."
After hearing this, Zhang Xuan realized that there is such a way to play Wanxiang chess, so he said: "Mr. Bai, according to you, is Wanxiang chess particularly difficult to play?"
"For beginners or stupid people, Wanxiang chess is really difficult." Bai Lang responded with a shake of his head, "But for talented people, it is just a game to spend a boring time. I Since my debut, I have fought against all the invincible players in the world, and I have been very lonely. Now that I have been invited by the royal family, I thought that I have nothing to do, so why not come and teach me some interesting jokes? Wouldn't it be fun to laugh at them?"
These words were so full of self-promotion and contempt for others that Zhang Xuan wanted to flip the table over on the spot, but he held it back.
Opposite me, the arrogant Bai Lang, who has defeated all the invincible opponents in the world with his skills, can be regarded as somewhat arrogant. Just like Zhang Xuan, who relies on his superb magical powers to conquer demons and eliminate demons, he is also a little arrogant in front of others, which is actually normal.
The key to the problem is that if you want to suppress someone else's arrogance, you have to become stronger than them so that they can't be arrogant.
Thinking of this, Zhang Xuan said calmly: "Well, what Mr. said is true. Everyone has their own unique talents, and we cannot force them to be the same."
"You can agree with what I said, which means that children can be taught." Bai Lang glanced at Zhang Xuan, nodded and said, "In that case, it's better to remember the formula of Jiu Fang Ju, and don't let me repeat it over and over again!"
After that, close your eyes and recite the formula one by one.
Zhang Xuan recited along and memorized it carefully.
This state reminded him of studying with Zhang Kuanren in school. The difference is that Zhang Kuanren often shakes his head while reciting, while Bai Lang remains calm.
There are about a thousand words in the formula of Jiu Fang Ju. Bai Lang was afraid that Zhang Xuan would not be able to remember it, so he recited it five or four times in a row, and Zhang Xuan also recited it four or five times.
Afterwards, Bai Lang opened his eyes and asked, "Do you remember everything?"
"I remember everything, sir!" Zhang Xuan responded crisply.
Under Bai Lang's suspicious eyes, Zhang Xuan took the initiative to recite the formula.
After hearing this, Bai Lang nodded and said, "Well, you have a good memory and you are very attentive. I am very pleased!"
Next, he began to explain the meaning of the formula, and while explaining it, he demonstrated it on the chessboard with black and white chess pieces.
After the demonstration, Bai Lang stood up immediately and said: "These days, you can carefully study the contents of the meditation formula. I will come back in ten days."
After that, he stepped forward and left.
Zhang Xuan respectfully sent Bai Lang to the gate, but Bai Lang walked away without even looking back.
"Oh, this is the conceit of a craftsman, hopeless!"
Zhang Xuan muttered as he returned to the mansion and asked Xiao, who had just come out of the back room, "Mom, is this what you were whispering to Baguio yesterday?"
Mrs. Xiao smiled and said: "I told Yaoyao that you agreed to learn the Six Arts, but I didn't expect that she would arrange it today. This girl is so quick at doing things!"
"I think she is just anxious to get married!" Zhang Xuan complained.
He originally thought that the six skills were not difficult to learn, but this new chess skill gave him a blow. It's just a game of chess, and there's no algorithm involved. It's just deliberately torturing people!
However, there is no turning back when shooting a bow. Now that he has started, he can only bite the bullet and continue to learn.
In the confusion, in order to find some shortcuts, he hid in his room, entered the Small Universe, and went to chat with Hongrui.
Hong Rui was taking seven little demons to watch the Huashan craftsman demon making craftsmanship. When she saw Zhang Xuan, she asked with a smile: "What, is there something troublesome again?"
Zhang Xuan smiled bitterly and asked: "Xiaorui, have you ever played Wanxiang chess?"
Hong Rui shook her head: "No! I was originally a demon, and we demons usually don't know how to play chess."
"You don't know how to play chess, so you haven't heard of Jiu Fang Ju, right?" Zhang Xuan continued to ask.
"I've never heard of it, what exactly is this Nine Square Moment?" Hong Rui asked while shaking her head.
The Huashan Craftsman Demon, who was concentrating on making craftsmanship, suddenly raised his head and said: "Master, I know a little bit about the Nine Square Moments you are talking about."
"Oh?" Zhang Xuan's eyes suddenly lit up after hearing this, and he squatted next to the Huashan Gardener Demon and said, "Gardener, can you also play Wanxiang chess?"
"No, never!" Huashan Craftsman shook his head decisively.
"Hey, you've never been down before, why are you here to join in the fun!" Zhang Xuan was frustrated when he heard this and planned to stand up.
But I heard Huashan Craftsman Demon say: "Although I have never been there, I know what the Nine Square Moment is."
After hearing this, Zhang Xuan squatted down again while standing up, and said, "If you have something to say, just say it clearly. Don't spit it out half-sucking!"
"Master, in order to learn craftsmanship, I often wandered around the world, hung out with various craftsmen, and met many people who played chess." Huashan Craftsman Demon responded, "During this process, I often heard them They were talking about the Nine Square Rules, so I asked them for advice out of curiosity. After listening to what they said about the Nine Square Rules, I realized that those formulas were very similar to the Nine Calculation Rules mastered by our craftsmen. Nothing unusual."
"Oh, according to you, the nine calculation moments of your craftsmen can be used to play Wanxiang chess?" Zhang Xuan asked.
"I'm not sure about this." Huashan Craftsman responded, "However, I think that many skills in the world have something in common. Anyone who can draw inferences from one example can achieve great success."
Well, there is absolutely nothing wrong with this. It seems that Huashan Craftsman Demon has some knowledge.
Zhang Xuan secretly praised Huashan Craftsman Demon in his heart, and asked Huashan Craftsman Demon to recite the Nine Calculations formula again, and couldn't help but smile.
