Cultivation game, starting from the mouse

"Oh, after all these years, someone can still come in!"

At this moment, the voice of a vicissitudes of life old man suddenly sounded in Wei Xun's ears.

Turning around, I saw a bearded old man covered in white robes, sitting cross-legged on the edge of a chessboard with a sunspot in his hand.

"Who are you?" Wei Xun was stunned when he found someone in the tower.

"That's what you said!" The old man turned his head and glanced at Wei Xun, then smiled and said, "You came to my house and asked me who I am?"

"your home?"

After Wei Xun heard what the old man said, he was even more confused.

This old man has white hair, eyebrows and beard, and his face is full of wrinkles.

Although he looks very old, his eyes are very bright and he looks full of energy.

"What else?" The old man chuckled, stroking his beard, and then waved to Wei Xun: "It's a rare guest. Come over and play a game of chess with me!"

After hearing this, Wei Xun slowly walked to the chessboard and looked at it.

This old man is playing Go.

And the chess boxes containing white stones and black stones were placed in front of him. It seemed that he had been playing with himself before.

"Do you want black or white?" the old man looked at Wei Xun and asked.

"I can't play Go!" Wei Xun smiled awkwardly at the old man.

Unexpectedly, after hearing this, the old man couldn't hide his disappointment, but then he came back to his senses: "If you don't know how, I can teach you!"

"Uh!" Wei Xun scratched his chin, but he didn't really want to learn.

The old man seemed to have realized what Wei Xun was thinking, so he sighed leisurely: "Forget it, I'd better do it by myself!"

"Old sir!" Wei Xun asked curiously, "How did you live in this tower?"

"Live in?" After hearing this, the old man laughed and said, "Who wants to live in? I was imprisoned!"

"Defended you in?" Wei Xun then asked, "Who locked you in, old gentleman?"

"Oh!" the old man sighed: "That's a long story!"

Wei Xun saw that there was a story to listen to, so he also sat on the opposite side of the chessboard.

But the old man hesitated to speak, and instead raised his eyes to look at Wei Xun: "It's better not to say anything too long!"

"..."

Before Wei Xun could ask, the old man continued: "If you can play chess with me, I can tell you slowly!"

"Then I'll learn!" Wei Xun had no choice but to agree.

So the old man pointed at the black and white stones on the chessboard and slowly talked about the rules of Go.

Wei Xun was confused when he heard about Qi, Tizi, heaven, star positions, and various methods of attack.

The old man didn't care whether Wei Xun understood or not. He pointed at the chessboard and talked eloquently. After explaining everything, he was very satisfied with what he said.

"How is it? Do you understand?" The old man stroked his beard and looked confident.

"Uh!" Wei Xun smiled awkwardly: "How about you say it again?"

"A child cannot be taught!" Unexpectedly, the old man sighed angrily when he saw Wei Xun's poor comprehension ability.

"Old sir, don't be angry!" Wei Xun could only comfort him: "How about we play a game first and I can learn from it later?"

The old man had no choice but to nod his head: "That's okay!"

So the old man handed the blank paper to Wei Xun, and the two began to pick up all the black stones on the chessboard and put them back into their chess boxes.

Then the old man picked up a black piece and said: "Black plays first, be careful!"

The old man placed the black chess piece on a star in the upper right corner of the board, then looked up at Wei Xun: "It's your turn!"

Wei Xun followed the old man's example and picked up the white paper with two fingers. After a slight hesitation, he placed the white chess piece directly in the middle of the chessboard.

Seeing this scene, the old man was speechless: "How can you play Tianyuan?"

"Uh..." Seeing this, Wei Xun wanted to pick up Bai Zi, but the old man slapped him away with his hand.

"No regrets when you make a move!"

Hearing this, Wei Xun could only smile awkwardly.

Then the old man continued to make sunspots, which landed on one of the stars in another corner.

This time, Wei Xun picked up the white piece again, not knowing where to place it. He kept circling the chessboard with his finger, and then observed the old man's expression.

"Forget it, forget it!"

The old man was completely disinterested in playing chess due to Wei Xun's actions, so he threw the chess pieces back into the chess box and then leaned on the chair to sleep.

"Oh, old sir!" Wei Xun said with a smile on his face: "I'm really not good at Go. Why don't I play backgammon with you?"

"Huh?" After hearing this, the old man opened his eyes and asked, "What is backgammon?"

Wei Xun saw that the old man didn't know, so he immediately picked up the black and white stones and placed them on the chessboard.

"Backgammon is very simple. Whoever connects his pieces to five first wins."

Wei Xun explained the rules.

"It doesn't matter if it's horizontal, vertical or diagonal."

"What's so fun about that!" The old man shook his head.

"Give it a try! It's just free time anyway." Wei Xun tried hard to invite with a smile on his face.

Seeing this, the old man had no choice but to return to the chessboard with an embarrassed look.

"Then I will accompany you for a while!"

After putting it back into his chess box, the old man picked up a black stone and landed it directly on a position in the corner of the board according to his habit of playing Go.

Wei Xun continued to choose Tianyuan, who was in the middle.

Then the old man continued to make moves, still following the Go method and not paying attention to Wei Xun, who was making moves in the middle.

After a few steps, when Wei Xun placed a four-cylinder formation in the middle of the chessboard, the old man felt something was wrong.

Although he had never played backgammon, after hearing the rules, the old man finally placed the chess piece on the edge and wanted to block it.

But it was too late to read at this time. No matter where Wei Xun placed the chess piece, he could connect it with other chess pieces to form three.

After several steps of pulling, Wei Xun finally connected the diagonal line into four.

Now, no matter which end the old man blocks, Wei Xun can immediately land a piece on the other end, and then connect it to five pieces.

The old man realized that he had lost, and then he became interested.

"There is something wonderful about this backgammon game!" The old man smiled and stroked his beard: "Although the rules are simple, you still need to use your brain to play it!"

"That's for sure!" Seeing that Wei Xun had successfully aroused the old man's interest, he immediately patted his chest and said, "To be honest, sir, I was the runner-up in the backgammon competition at Shimen Yazi Primary School!"

"One more game!" The old man nodded after hearing this and immediately picked up the chess pieces from the chessboard.

When Wei Xun saw this, he could only cooperate immediately.

This time the sunspot still fell first.

However, the old man holding the black piece seemed to have seen the clues of backgammon this time, and directly pressed the black piece in the center of the board.

A dozen steps later.

Wei Xun looked at the old man's five sunspots and opened his mouth wide in surprise.
