As soon as the old man heard Jiang Qian say this, he nodded appreciatively, he didn't expect Jiang Qian to be able to analyze the situation with a clear mind even in this environment, not to mention that he had just experienced the invasion of a demon.

He stroked his beard with the old man, and then said to Jiang Qian: "You are very good, very interesting, more interesting than I thought before." Then the old man continued: "Alright, let's continue to play chess." ”

After speaking, the old man waved his long sleeves again, and the black and white chess pieces returned to their respective positions as before, and then Jiang Qian and the old man each held a color chess piece and continued to play.

After playing these dozens of games of backgammon, Jiang Qian still lost a mess, but now Jiang Qian's mood is much better, even if he loses, he will not be irritable, but will summarize by himself where he made a mistake in this game of chess, how to dismantle the moves, and so on.

The same is true for the old man, smiling and Jiang Qian to set the number of ways in this game of chess, and then to the next game, now Jiang Qian completely forgot that he wanted to win three games of chess, and now he is just playing chess purely, without distractions.

Later, it was a cycle of losing chess again, and finally this time Jiang Qian's black piece fell on this chessboard and the four characters were connected into a line, and there was no white chess piece of the old man at both ends, even if he didn't have to play the fifth chess piece, Jiang Qian also won.

Jiang Qian's eyes lit up, and then a smile appeared on his face, from winning two games in a row at the beginning, to the third game of chess, and then to Jiang Qian's loss all the way, and finally Jiang Qian won this game again.

However, the old man glanced at Jiang Qian, still landing his chess piece on the chessboard, and then looked at Jiang Qian, motioning for him to finish this last step.

Jiang Qian could feel this strong sense of ceremony, so he also solemnly dropped his last black chess piece, and at this time, the five sons were connected, and Jiang Qian finally won the game.

The old man stroked his beard at this time and said with a smile: "Okay, you finally won three games, how do you feel now?"

Jiang Qian scratched his head with a smile, and then said: "When I desperately wanted to pursue victory at the beginning, I couldn't get victory, so then my mentality became more and more impetuous, and more and more irritable, and finally I was taken advantage of by the demons in my heart. Later, after you woke up from the demons in my heart, I devoted myself to playing chess, and then I forgot about the agreement to win three games or anything else, and just played chess with you. ”

"How do you feel after your state of mind has changed?" asked the old man with a grin.

Jiang Qian replied: "I don't know how to say this, but I always feel that I have no distractions, and I don't care that everything becomes pure after winning or losing, but I actually won this game, and I didn't come with the mentality of wanting to win at the beginning, I just tried my best to complete this game." ”

The old man nodded approvingly, and then said: "These chess pieces are not in vain, you can feel that so much is worth it, okay, you can now ask me the questions you want to know." ”

Jiang Qian couldn't help but swallow his saliva after hearing this, and then said: "Senior, am I dead now? Where is the void and pitch black place I was in just now? Is it the underworld, and who are you, where are you now, why didn't I go to the underworld, or did I say that there was no place at all?"

Jiang Qian said all his previous questions in one breath, and then looked at the old man expectantly, expecting him to answer his questions.

And the old man laughed again, and then said: "Then let me tell you one by one, it is difficult to say whether you are dead or not, the place where you stayed before is not the underworld, but the entrance to the underworld, if you completely disappear your self and consciousness there, then you will really die, and then you will be gathered to the underworld." ”

When Jiang Qian heard this, he said excitedly, "Then you mean that I haven't died yet?"

The old man shook his head, and then said, "I said, whether you are dead or not is not yet determined, and we will talk about this question last." Do you remember when you exchanged for a Bian Que Soul before?"

As soon as the old man said this, Jiang Qianbian remembered that when he was researching the production base, he had exchanged a Bian Que soul in the merit system in order to refine the detoxification pill for Baili Xuan, and the value of this Bian Que soul was also very high, and it was not necessary to be cheap for the soul of the fire god Zhurong.

Thinking of this, Jiang Qian nodded, and then said, "Naturally remember." ”

When the old man heard Jiang Qian's recovery, he pointed at himself with a smile, and then said, "Then who do you say I am?"

As soon as Jiang Qian heard the old man's words, he was a little surprised at the moment, although the soul of Bian Que that he exchanged at that time was a soul body with himself, but because it was a soul body, Jiang Qian didn't care what this soul body looked like, and at that time, the soul body seemed to have only one outline, and there was no appearance.

"Are you Mr. Bian Que?" Jiang Qian asked incredulously.

The old man nodded, and then said: "Yes, I am Bian Que, do you remember what we said at that time? At that time, the merit system gave you a chance to heal your whole body, but now your body is too badly injured, if I make a move now, I am afraid it will be equivalent to robbing people with Lord Yama, which is not in accordance with the rules, so there is actually a trial waiting for you." ”

Jiang Qian was shocked in his heart when he heard what Bian Que said, it seemed that he still had a chance to survive, but what was this trial? So Jiang Qian asked, "Mr. Bian Que, what is the trial you are talking about?"

"The chessboard array is in this chessboard, but with your previous situation, if you go in and accept the trial directly, I am afraid that it will be more auspicious, so I will help you get rid of the demons in your heart and stabilize your consciousness, after all, it will be of some help to you to break into the formation, if you go into this chessboard array and come back safely, I can bring you back to life, and at the same time, you can also subdue the strange fire of the witch clan." ”

Jiang Qian's eyes couldn't help but light up when he heard this, not only could he come back to life, but he could also subdue the strange fire, which was definitely a great benefit for Jiang Qian, but at the same time, Jiang Qian was not carried away by this surprise, since he could get such a big benefit, it meant that this chessboard array must be very dangerous, and it was definitely not something that ordinary people could break through.

However, Jiang Qian has no other choice, if he directly chooses not to break into this chessboard array, then he will have only one end, that is, a life, at least this chessboard array is still a hope.
