Nightmare Era

Chapter 74 Backgammon

"Are we just going to chat here?" Xiaohuan looked at the two people standing outside the maple forest and asked.

"Um" Lin Yuanxi was stunned and said quickly: "It's really inappropriate to meet guests like this. Xiaohuan, take Young Master Yang to the living room first, and I'll go clean up."

"Okay!" Xiaohuan nodded, then stretched out his hand: "Mr. Yang, please!"

Lin Yuanxi's bamboo building not only looks simple on the outside, but also on the inside. It didn't use Jie Zixu Mi's tricks.

The furnishings in the room are also very simple, a bamboo table, no chairs, only cushions.

Instead, there was a scroll hanging on the wall, with a copybook on it.

After reading the content, Yang Ning immediately raised his forehead: The inscription on the humble room was written by Yang Ning!
"Young master, I've kept you waiting!" The immortal took a bath very quickly, but in just a moment, Lin Yuanxi finished washing and changed his clothes.

Yang Ning turned his head to look, and his eyes lit up immediately, because Lin Yuanxi actually changed into an orange-red long dress with phoenix patterns embroidered on it, coupled with Lin Yuanxi's long hair pulled up, and complicated accessories on top of her head, The whole person looks gorgeous and atmospheric.

He stood up quickly with an apology on his face: "Miss Lin, why are you like this? What I wear is very casual..."

He came to look for Liyuan, so naturally he couldn't dress up well, he came here in a white coat, but the girl came dressed up, and it seemed that he didn't respect this meeting very much.

"Young master, you don't like it?" Lin Yuanxi asked.

"That's not the case, it's just that you are too solemn, girl, which makes me feel frightened." Yang Ning said hurriedly.

If this bamboo building were replaced by a palace, it would really feel like a courtier meeting a princess.

"That's not bad!" Lin Yuanxi turned around, changed her clothes back to a simple Tsing Yi, and her hairstyle changed into a simple ponytail.

"This is good, this is good!" Yang Ning breathed a sigh of relief: "The clothes you just wore reminded me of when I was an official, once summoned by the queen mother, the concubines in the harem wore this one by one, and then a group of people surrounded me to look at it. , it’s like watching a monkey!”

"Really!" Lin Yuanxi blinked a pair of soft eyes, she knew about this matter, those concubines even made a proposition composition for Yang Ning, so Yang Ning wrote Qing Ping Le.

"But your metaphor is not appropriate. I have never seen such a handsome monkey!" Lin Yuanxi said with a smile: "And the young master is so talented that it is rare in the world. It is natural for them to be curious!"

"How can there be any talent, I'm just standing on the shoulders of giants!" Yang Ning smiled wryly, and pointed to the "Humble Room Inscription" on the wall: "You don't live in the bamboo building because of this, do you?" !”

"In the beginning, it was true. After living for a long time, I also felt the beauty of the bamboo building!" Lin Yuanxi said with a smile: "The environment is quiet and elegant, and it also gives people a very relaxing feeling, just like what you just said, I also hate palace gates, that kind of environment is really depressing."

"That's true!" Yang Ning nodded: "I don't like those red tapes either, so I stayed away from the royal city in the name of supervising the project after going to court a few times, until I found out that there are still immortals in this world. The official is relaxed and free!"

"Yes, if I hadn't cultivated immortality, I wouldn't have the freedom I have now!" Lin Yuanxi nodded with deep understanding, and suddenly looked at Xiaohuan: "Why are you standing there in such a daze? Why don't you serve tea when the guests come?"

"Tch, when you have a lover, you forget about your bestie!" Xiaohuan snorted, turned around and left.

Lin Yuanxi's face turned red immediately, and then she glanced at Yang Ning quietly. Fortunately, Xiaohuan's voice was low, so Yang Ning didn't seem to hear her?

She didn't know that Xiaohuan had taken off all her bottoms on the way here.

"Oh, by the way!" Yang Ning thought of something and quickly took out the storage bag, then took out a square wooden platform and two alms bowls.

Lin Yuanxi watched curiously as Yang Ning placed the wooden platform on the table and handed over an alms bowl.

She took a look and realized that the alms bowl was filled with white pebbles, but the shapes of these pebbles were very standard and round.

"I heard from Xiaohuan that there are only two of you living on the mountain, which is very boring. I also want to thank you for your help. I will give you this chessboard and chess pieces."

"Didn't I say that my magical powers won't help much!" Lin Yuanxi hurriedly said: "How can I accept your things!"

"It's just wood and stones, worthless!" Yang Ning said hurriedly: "Aren't you curious how to play with this thing?"

"Yeah." Lin Yuanxi was really curious. After all, there is no such thing as Go in this world.

"I'm here to teach you!" Yang Ning said with a smile: "Don't think there is only one chessboard with two colored chess pieces. In fact, there are many ways to play. I will teach you the simplest backgammon first, where five of your own chess pieces are connected together. If we win together, let’s play a game first!”

"Oh" Lin Yuanxi nodded, this seemed interesting?

Yang Ning went first with black, and Lin Yuanxi played a white chess piece next to the black piece.

Yang Ning went down diagonally, and Lin Yuanxi followed her up and down.

Yang Ning went up further, and Lin Yuanxi followed,

"Okay, I win!" Yang Ning put the fourth chess piece on the table.

"Didn't you just get four in a row?" Lin Yuanxi just said her doubtful words and realized why she lost.

Yes, he has already connected four of them, and it’s too late for me to block him!

Lin Yuanxi seemed to understand the rules of this game. Although five pieces were considered a victory, as long as four pieces were formed, the opponent would be unstoppable.

"Come again!" Lin Yuanxi became interested in backgammon.

Yang Ning nodded and asked again: "How about you go first this time?"

"Then I'll go first!" Lin Yuanxi felt that playing first did have an advantage. If he played second, wouldn't he have to follow behind and block?
Three minutes later, Lin Yuanxi looked at the black chess pieces that had been connected into four, with a blank look on her face.

That's not right, why did he connect himself even though he was blocking it?

"I'm going to be serious!" Lin Yuanxi calmed down. Originally, I didn't want to bully others based on my high level of cultivation. You forced me to do this!

At the eighth level of the physical state, the brain begins to be developed, and the consciousness can be born in the Qi refining stage. At this time, it is already a difference between immortals and mortals. The computing power of monks in the Qi refining stage is dozens or even hundreds of times that of ordinary people!
It’s just backgammon!

Watch six routes, listen in all directions, pay attention to all the chess pieces, and block them immediately if there is a possibility of connecting four!

Ten minutes later, Lin Yuanxi looked at the five black chess pieces that had been connected with a blank look on her face.

Why did I lose again?
"Miss, why don't you let me try?" Xiaohuan looked aside for a long time, and even the tea became cold.

When she was watching from the sidelines, she just felt that the lady was making mistakes everywhere. If it were me, I would definitely not lose so miserably!
"Come on, come on!" Before Lin Yuanxi got up, Yang Ning had already given up her position.

"Okay!" Xiaohuan and Lin Yuanxi were as close as sisters, and they didn't need to be so polite at home. They sat down directly in front of Lin Yuanxi.

Lin Yuanxi just wants to win, and it doesn't matter who the opponent is.

So, a minute later, Xiaohuan looked at the white pieces that had been connected together, with a confused look on his face.

No, you were obviously very good just now, how could you beat me so quickly?
