Chapter 154 The Secret of Chess Pieces

The next morning.

The three kids got up early and started the unfinished work from yesterday.

Because they had done it once, they were already familiar with it the second time and divided the work in an orderly manner.

Li Xuan had finished his work last night, and now he was basking in the sun and supervising.

He worked most of the night yesterday and still couldn't wake up.

Princess Ankang and Yu'er used water drops to carefully copy the words on the chess pieces, working hard.

Seeing Princess Ankang so serious and excited, Yu'er also worked hard.

Yu'er didn't know what the value of these words was, but being able to make Princess Ankang happy was worth a thousand gold.

There were 180 chess pieces with words on the eldest prince's Go set, one less than their original Go set.

Although it didn't seem like much, the process of dropping water on it to make the words appear was complicated, time-consuming and laborious.

Sometimes, if the dripping method is not right, the words on the chess pieces cannot be seen at all, and it takes several attempts.

It is a process that tests patience and meticulousness.

But Yu'er is very good at this, and Princess Ankang never urges her.

Even if it takes several drops to see the words on the chess pieces, Yu'er is not impatient, and Princess Ankang just waits quietly on the side.

And practice makes perfect, Yu'er has gradually mastered the skills, and later she can almost instantly illuminate the words on the chess pieces through water drops.

Li Xuan yawned, stretched, and enjoyed this rare tranquility on the side.

On weekdays, when the two girls get together, their mouths can't be idle, and they chatter non-stop.

Especially now that Princess Ankang's health has improved, she sleeps less and talks more.

Li Xuan prefers a low voice to a sharp tone.

Sometimes, the two girls at home talk too much, and Li Xuan has to close his ears and rest for a while.

Otherwise, he is afraid that his ears will bleed.

After a busy morning, Princess Ankang suddenly clapped her hands and shouted excitedly: "It's done!"

Hearing this, Li Xuan also got up and went to take a look.

Princess Ankang was holding a thick stack of calligraphy in her hand, and the last chess piece was also arranged on the calligraphy.

"Ah Xuan, Sister Yu'er, let's arrange these words in order."

The answer was in sight, only the last step was left, and Princess Ankang was very excited.

Li Xuan also went to help.

The three children arranged the calligraphy in order, and Princess Ankang took another piece of paper and wrote down the 361 words in order.

"One, two, three, four, five, six..."

One by one, Princess Ankang recorded the words according to the sequence, and finally gathered them into an article called "Stone Slinging Method".

"Stone Slinging Method?"

"What is this?"

Princess Ankang read it back and forth and asked in confusion.

Li Xuan also read the article and found that it seemed to be a strange method.

As soon as this thought came up, a hint naturally emerged in Li Xuan's mind.

[Stone Shooting Method: 0%]

"Is the martial arts recorded on the chess piece!?"

Li Xuan was shocked.

He had only read it once before, but the description of the Stone Shooting Method was very obscure.

With Li Xuan's cultural level, some parts were difficult to understand.

This was also the reason why Princess Ankang had such doubts before.

They all didn't quite understand the article.

But as the hint appeared in Li Xuan's mind, the obscure content was instantly integrated.

Every word in the Stone Shooting Method, every meaning expressed, appeared clearly in Li Xuan's mind.

"I am indeed gifted!"

This was the first time that Li Xuan understood martial arts through text.

Even he didn't expect the effect to be so amazing.

The obscure text that he couldn't understand at all was immediately integrated in his mind, as if someone had explained it to him word by word countless times.

The stone-slinging method, to be exact, is not a method, but a very special skill.

The entire 361 words include several techniques for throwing stones.

Of course, stones can also be replaced by anything else that fits the description.

It is not an exaggeration to say that the stone-slinging method is a complete set of hidden weapon techniques.

What is even more amazing is that the stone-slinging method does not require any cultivation.

You can learn it with your hands!

To some extent, this stone-slinging method technique is more practical than many advanced methods.

Because of this technique, in theory, you can use it from the realm of no entry to the first level, and it is still practical.

It's just that as the realm is improved, the power of the stone-slinging method will become more and more amazing.

Li Xuan couldn't wait to try it.

He first went back to the house and brought the chessboard.

Princess Ankang and Yu'er were still analyzing the recorded stone-slinging method, trying to understand the obscure text on it.

They both felt a little strange when they saw Li Xuan suddenly move the chess pieces.

"Ah Xuan, do you want to play Go?"

Yu'er stepped forward to take the chessboard and wanted to help Li Xuan put it on the table.

As a result, Li Xuan hurried forward to stop Yu'er and did not let her put the chessboard on the table. Instead, he pointed to the stone bench beside him.

"Huh?"

"Ah Xuan, what are you putting there?"

"Aren't you going to play chess?"

Although Yu'er felt strange, she still did it.

But Li Xuan was still not satisfied, and stepped forward to stand up the chessboard that was flat on the stone bench.

After waiting for a while, there was a sudden click on the chessboard, as if the mechanism was ejected.

"Awesome, this chessboard is awesome!"

This is also what is recorded in the stone-slinging method.

This Go board is not only a carrier for recording the skills, but also a prop specially designed for practicing the stone-slinging method.

Li Xuan tried and found that he couldn't push the chessboard standing on the stone bench.

"What a magical design."

Then he couldn't wait to ask Princess Ankang for a chess piece.

Although Princess Ankang was a little confused, she subconsciously believed in Li Xuan's judgment and took a chess piece that was still not firmly attached from a copybook.

Li Xuan wrapped the chess piece tightly with his little claws, and then ran to a place more than ten feet away from the chessboard.

He stood up, closed his eyes, and silently recalled the techniques of the stone-shooting method.

The stone-shooting method records many stone-shooting techniques, such as the stone-shooting method, the stone-holding method, the stone-rolling method, and so on.

Because of the limitation of the cat's claws, Li Xuan could only try the stone-holding method first.

He held the chess piece tightly with his cat's claws, and then pulled himself up from the ground and twisted his whole body.

A force began to be transmitted from his hind legs and smoothly transmitted to the front paws holding the chess piece.

Then there was a sharp sound of breaking through the air.

Princess Ankang and Yu'er on the side didn't see the chess piece clearly, and the next moment they heard a crisp sound.

The chess piece had already hit the chessboard, and it was even stuck on it.

At the same time, a red dot suddenly lit up at a position on the chessboard, and then went out again after a while.

"Exquisite craftsmanship! Exquisite craftsmanship!"

Li Xuan widened his eyes and looked at the chessboard on the stone bench in shock.

At this time, the chess piece that was originally stuck to the chessboard fell off powerlessly and fell to the ground.

"What is the principle of this?"

Li Xuan was dumbfounded and felt a little dazed.

In the 361 words of the whole piece of the stone-slinging method, more than 20 words were specially spent to explain the use of this Go.

After the chessboard is erected, it can be fixed for a period of time and it is difficult to shake.

When the chess piece is shot onto the chessboard with the force of the stone-slinging method, it will not only produce adsorption for a period of time, but also trigger the mechanism on the chessboard, light up the red dot, and mark the next target position.

To master the stone-slinging technique, you need to shoot the chess pieces at the chessboard, hitting every red dot that lights up, until all the chess pieces are hit. The chess pieces must remain attached to the chessboard, and no red dot can be missed.

The attachment time of the chess pieces is related to the stone-slinging technique power attached to the chess pieces.

Judging from the attachment time that Li Xuan showed just now, it is a long way from mastering it.

Moreover, it is extremely difficult to master the stone-slinging technique by using all the techniques to achieve the above results.

"What on earth did Emperor Yongyuan send?"

"This set of stone-slinging technique is probably not inferior to various unique skills."

"And this technique can be learned even by a physique like Princess Ankang."

Li Xuan couldn't help swallowing his saliva, feeling very fortunate.

"Fortunately, the stone-slinging technique was finally obtained by us."

"Otherwise, we would have missed this great opportunity."

Li Xuan was very excited at this time.

Princess Ankang and Yu'er were still confused.

"What on earth is going on?"

Yu'er picked up the chess piece that fell on the ground and looked left and right, but she couldn't see any difference at all.

She then picked up the chess piece and tapped it on the chessboard, but there was no red dot like before.

Instead, she found that the chessboard at this time seemed to have taken root and couldn't be moved.

"Ah Xuan, what on earth is going on?"

Now, even Yu'er's curiosity was ignited.

Li Xuan quickly jumped onto the table and gestured to Princess Ankang and Yu'er, using both hands and feet.

In the end, Princess Ankang reacted faster and guessed the mystery of the chess piece and chessboard.

"Ah Xuan, are you saying that the chess piece and chessboard are also part of this stone-slinging method?"

Princess Ankang has not yet figured out the meaning of the words on the stone-slinging method, and can only guess by looking at Li Xuan's movements.

Li Xuan quickly nodded, and then taught Princess Ankang the stone-holding method he used before.

Princess Ankang is very smart and learned the general idea in a few steps.

Li Xuan immediately pulled her and squatted in front of the chessboard, asking her to give it a try.

Princess Ankang followed suit and threw the chess piece out.

She was only about a foot away from the chessboard, and her strength was not quite standard, but she had already gotten the idea.

The chess piece broke away from her hand and fell on the chessboard.

The chess piece paused slightly, then fell freely, without even triggering the red dot.

But the abnormal pause of the chess piece was still noticed by Princess Ankang and Yu'er.

"It really works!"

Then Yu'er also tried it, and not only did she stick the chess piece on it, but she also triggered a barely visible red dot.

This surprised the two little girls, and they took turns trying.

Princess Ankang's body was still too weak. Although she had a better grasp of the stone-slinging technique, she was not as good as Yu'er's performance because of her poor strength.

But with Princess Ankang's physical condition, it was already very good to be able to shoot the chess piece out.

With some practice, Princess Ankang might be able to find a way to protect herself.

Although it is insignificant, given her usually fragile appearance, it might be effective.

Seeing Princess Ankang and Yu'er having fun, Li Xuan couldn't help but praise:

"This stone-slinging method is really good."

"The old emperor is very nice!"
