Shangguan Peining was not happy when she heard this: "What kind of nanny? How dare you take advantage of me!"
Chai Yan hurriedly changed his words: "No, no, no, I mean, I am also the one who provides nutrients to the Tongtian Treasure Tree, why can't I take a look?"
"Okay! You've seen it many times, can you leave?" Shangguan Peining immediately issued an order to expel the guest.
Chai Yan immediately protested: "No, you are too inhumane... Do you know how cold it is on the ground outside? If I can't stand the cold when I go out now, my secret will definitely be exposed, and I won't be able to do it even if I stay there for a while.
?”
Shangguan Peining thought for a moment, put on an expression that said the sacred territory is inviolable, and said seriously: "It's not impossible to stay for a while, but I'll tell you the ugly things ahead, so stay here and don't move forward even an inch! Otherwise,
I will let you out immediately!"
"Ah?" Chai Yan said disappointedly: "It would be too boring to just stand there!"
Shangguan Peining was unselfish and refused to accept his words at all.
"Okay, okay, that's it, I'm not going anywhere, okay?"
Chai Yan had no choice but to compromise. It was much more comfortable here than lying on the ground outside.
Next, Shangguan Peining slowly and silently landed on the ground. With a wave of her left sleeve, a futon appeared out of thin air on the ground beside her.
Immediately, Shangguan Peining walked in front of the futon and sat down cross-legged.
Shangguan Peining raised his eyes slightly to look at Chai Yan, then lowered his eyes. At the same time, he placed his hands flat on his Dantian and began to meditate with his eyes closed.
Chai Yan couldn't hear the sounds from the outside world, so he said: "Hey, don't fall asleep. You have to keep an eye on what's going on outside!"
"Nonsense! You, the body of this palace, are also involved, why do you need to remind me of this matter?" Shangguan Peining suddenly opened his eyes.
"Okay, I feel relieved with your words!" Chai Yan said.
Just like that, Chai Yanqian stood looking around, Shangguan Peining meditated quietly, everything was quiet.
Chai Yan felt bored after standing for a long time, so he asked: "Master Shangguan, don't you have something to do to pass the time? If you can't find a chess game, you can play it? I'm so idle...
..."
Shangguan Peining slowly opened his eyes and said disdainfully: "Vulgar!"
Chai Yan didn't care and continued to ask: "Go, chess, checkers, flying chess, as long as it is chess..."
"I have never heard of what you said, how could it be possible?" Shangguan Peining asked.
Just when Chai Yan felt disappointed, Shangguan Peining said: "But I can make it now!"
"Made now?" Chai Yan said in surprise: "Master Shangguan, can you still do carpentry?"
"Carpentry?" Shangguan Peining suddenly frowned and asked, "Why do you need to know carpentry?"
"Uh..." Chai Yan was stunned for a moment, then quickly waved his hand and said: "It's not important... Just tell me how to make it now..."
Shangguan Peining said seriously: "Think about what you want to do as carefully as possible. I have my own way!"
"good!"
Chai Yan stopped talking and quickly closed his eyes to think back.
After a while, Shangguan Peining suddenly nodded and said: "Oh, this is it! I know it, keep an eye on it!"
Chai Yan immediately opened his eyes and looked at Shangguan Peining to see what she was going to do.
Shangguan Peining's lips moved slightly, as if silently reciting something, and then he waved his sleeves, and a chess board and a pile of chess pieces suddenly appeared on the ground in front of him.
"Let's take a look. Is there anything wrong?" Shangguan Peining asked.
"Wow! That's amazing! This is not doing anything, this is called change!"
Chai Yan was amazed and walked to the chess, picked up the chariot, horse, artillery, pawn and other chess pieces and placed them in the corresponding positions one by one.
When they were all finished, Chai Yan immediately clapped his hands and shouted: "That's right, that's right, not a single one is missing!"
Not to mention, the chess set "freshly made" by Shangguan Peining is quite high-quality, heavy in the hand, and must be very enjoyable to play.
Shangguan Peining asked: "You won't be bored anymore, right?"
"No, no, no, let's do it... Hey, why are you meditating again?"
Chai Yan just wanted to ask Shangguan Peining to kill a round, but found that she had closed her eyes and continued to meditate.
Shangguan Peining was unhappy. She stared at Chai Yan and said, "I have already made a chess set for you, why do you still bother me?"
Chai Yan was speechless for a moment, then he helplessly spread his hands and said with a slight grievance: "My great monk Shangguan, chess needs two people to play it!"
"Two people?" Shangguan Peining immediately frowned and refused: "Not interested!"
"It doesn't matter, I can teach you..."
Chai Yan immediately interpreted the meaning of "not interested".
Shangguan Peining said decisively: "This is not necessary!"
Chai Yan had an idea and said in a casual tone: "Oh, I know, you are afraid that you are not smart enough to learn, right...Okay, okay, in that case, I won't embarrass you...
....You meditate, you continue to meditate..."
After that, Chai Yan just started playing with the chess at hand.
As expected, Shangguan Peining couldn't stand the excitement and immediately floated the futon in front of Chai Yan.
"How dare you say that I don't have enough IQ!" Shangguan Peining stared at Chai Yan angrily.
Chai Yan smiled slightly and said calmly: "Is it enough? Just give it a try?"
Shangguan Peining said with a sullen face: "Tell me, how to get off?"
"Listen clearly, there is a formula for this! Ahem..."
Chai Yan cleared his throat, pointed to the chess pieces on the chessboard and said: "The general will not leave the nine palaces, and the soldiers will follow each other and will not leave the official position. The elephant will fly to the four corners of the square camp, and the horse will rush forward with each step. The cannon must hit every piece, and the chariot will move forward.
The straight road goes from west to east. But the soldiers can only take one step, and cross the river to advance and retreat without leaving a trace!"
After reciting the formula, Chai Yan looked at Shangguan Peining proudly and asked: "How is it? Do you remember it?"
"What are you talking about?" Shangguan Peining told Chai Yan that she didn't understand at all.
Chai Yan couldn't help but rolled his eyes and complained: "I said, have you read a book? You can't understand such a simple sentence?"
Shangguan Peining flicked his sleeve angrily, and the chessboard and chess pieces in front of him immediately disappeared.
"Hey, hey, why are you in such a hurry..." Chai Yan quickly apologized and said with a smile, "Can't I explain it to you step by step? Chess, chess, chess, hurry, hurry, change back...
..”
After saying a lot of good things, Shangguan Peining changed his chess skills.
Chai Yan began to explain the rules of each chess piece one by one.
"Wait... why does the horse walk sideways? Have you never ridden a horse? The horse obviously runs straight, okay!"
Before he finished speaking, Shangguan Peining raised a question.
"Uh...that's how the knight in chess moves..." Chai Yan was stunned.
Shangguan Peining continued to ask: "Also, why can't the general come out of this grid? Why can the soldiers only walk diagonally? Why can't the elephant fly across the river?"
Chai Yan was speechless when he was asked. How could he answer these questions? This is how chess has been played since ancient times!
"What are you talking about? Why don't you say anything? You can't answer these questions, and you still have the nerve to say that I don't have enough IQ?" Shangguan Peining suddenly became powerful and aggressive.
Chai Yan suddenly regretted choosing chess. If he had known this, he should have chosen something simple and easy.
Chai Yan looked up at Shangguan Peining: "How about... let's play another chess game?"
"What to change?" Shangguan Peining asked.
"How about flying chess? The rules are simple and fun!" Chai Yan said.
With that said, Chai Yan closed his eyes and recalled the drawings and chess pieces of the flying chess.
Soon, Shangguan Peining conjured up a pair of flying chess pieces.
Chai Yan immediately placed the chess pieces, grabbed the dice and asked, "What color do you like?"
Shangguan Peining looked at the red, yellow, blue and green chess pieces and said without hesitation: "Of course it's red!"
"Yes, there's no need to ask! You like blood the most, so of course you choose red... Well, red is yours..."
After that, Chai Yan turned the chessboard paper and moved the red chess piece in front of Shangguan Peining.
