Nothing to say all night, no, in fact, the two talked a lot last night, and that's it.

Of course, no one came to attack at night.

Early the next morning, Xu Xingkong and Lin Xiaofeng had a little contact with Ruyi in the small garden, and the people of Xuan Dao and Director Zhang appeared with a smile.

"Good morning, two distinguished guests, how are you resting?"

Xu Xingkong nodded, Lin Xiaofeng was supposed to salute the Xuan Dao people, but she now has an identity that is not public, but everyone recognizes it, so the husband and wife follow, she followed Xu Xingkong, nodded lightly to the Xuan Dao people, and the Xuan Dao people smiled.

"The two of you seem to be earlier, the environment here is beautiful, and Director Zhang has bothered."

Director Zhang smiled even happier:

"Haha... It is my pleasure to have two distinguished guests satisfied. ”

Xu Xingkong tugged at the corners of his mouth, he didn't feel anything about this kind of official talk Xu Xingkong, it was just Director Zhang's habit, he didn't think Director Zhang dared to perfunctory himself.

"The two of you arrived early in the morning, could it be something?"

The Xuan Daoist glanced at Director Zhang, turned sideways slightly, and motioned to Director Zhang to speak, Director Zhang cleared his throat and said a little more seriously:

"That's the case, today I want to invite Elder Xu and Chief Lin to visit the Baiyun Temple, I don't know what the two of you think?"

Although Baiyun Temple is also a line of Taoism, but Baiyun Temple belongs to the power of the government, this phenomenon is not unique to this dynasty, but as early as five hundred years ago, Baiyun Temple and Longhu Mountain are somewhat similar, all take the official route.

Of course, Director Zhang did not invite Xu Xingkong and Lin Xiaofeng to go to Baiyun Temple to play, it is estimated that it was a formal meeting with the government, and the reason why he chose Baiyun Temple instead of here is to convey a message to Xu Xingkong and people from the outside world that this contact is informal.

Of course, there must be other intentions in this, which will not be clear until the White Cloud Temple.

Xu Xingkong groaned slightly and said:

"This arrangement is not indispensable, but the purpose of me and Xiaofeng coming to Beijing is to accompany He Yan, and He Yan also has other arrangements today."

Director Zhang smiled and looked at the Xuan Dao people, who took a half step forward and said:

"Don't worry about this matter, in Shanghai because there is the Bai family and the Broken Knife Society, all the security must respect them, so our people can only be arranged on the periphery, but in the capital it is different, Director Zhang has handed over all the security matters to us, and the poor Dao will arrange sufficient manpower to protect Miss He Yan, you can rest assured."

Xu Xingkong nodded when he heard this, since the Xuan Dao people have spoken, Xu Xingkong still has to give this face, besides, in fact, in the same city, Xu Xingkong's long-distance spell casting is enough to protect He Yan's safety.

Moreover, now that the three forces have already moved, and they are all clear about Xu Xingkong's ability and attitude, now He Yan's security situation is not so dangerous, of course, it cannot be completely ruled out that some people take risks, but as long as it is not a deliberate plan by the big forces to raid, there should be no problem with the protection of people arranged by the Xuandao people.

"Since the Dao Leader has all been arranged, my little Feng will naturally comply, and the Dao Leader will also go with me?"

The Xuan Daoist smiled slightly:

"I'm going to see the world-famous Baiyun Temple."

After breakfast, the group got on the bus again, although the distance of Baiyun Temple is not very far, but because of the influence of traffic conditions, the time when they arrived at Baiyun Temple was close to noon.

Baiyun Temple was originally impossible to build in the urban area, but with the rapid expansion of the urban area of the capital, Baiyun Temple was careless, it became a place in the downtown area, plus Baiyun Temple is an incense view, the pilgrims who came to the incense were endless, it was like a downtown in general, the car passed in front of the main gate of Baiyun Temple, Xu Xingkong looked straight and shook his head.

Director Zhang also introduced helplessly:

"Originally, Baiyun Temple also had plans to move, but the location of Baiyun Temple was very heavy, and the two of them should be very clear, and they can't move easily."

In fact, Director Zhang's words have something to say, the location of Baiyun Temple must be related to the city magic circle, but moving away Baiyun Temple is not a problem, question four Baiyun Temple is gone, who will manage the magic circle nodes here, the land in the capital is a real inch of land, if you really want to vacate such a large piece of land, I am afraid it will be another competition for interests.

It can also be seen from this that the official power is not monolithic, and the struggle for power and interests is omnipresent.

In fact, it is not surprising at all that Yushan Yuzhai is faintly divided into various factions in such a sect, let alone such a large country.

The car deliberately circled in front of the gate, of course, to let Xu Xingkong and Lin Xiaofeng visit and see with their own eyes, it is said that with the status of Xu Xingkong and Lin Xiaofeng, Baiyun Temple should be open to the middle door, and the viewer personally greeted the guests, but now the objective conditions do not allow it, so I have to ask Xu Xingkong to go through the back door.

When the car arrived at the back door, tourists were not allowed to enter, and there were no other visitors and activities arranged today, so it seemed a little deserted, only a group of Taoists standing under the back door steps, and the scene was slightly solemn.

As soon as the car stopped, a Taoist with gray hair, wearing a navy blue Taoist robe and a carefree crown greeted him, and everyone in the car rushed down, and Director Zhang immediately smiled and introduced the Baiyun audience to Xu Xingkong.

Xu Xingkong was greeted by the Baiyun Temple's view of the real person, of course, the title of this 'real person' was self-styled, and the Daomen did not recognize it, similar to the title of 'Heavenly Master' of Longhu Mountain, and now the government will not officially give them titles, but these two families are very conscious of following the old practice, and the head of the family and the master of the temple are honored.

There are few people in the rivers and lakes who are more serious, and those who know it will laugh at it, and those who don't know are inconsequential people.

Everyone greeted each other, a few words of greeting, Miao Zhi Zhenren enthusiastically welcomed Xu Xingkong and his party into the view, Xu Xingkong was as he pleased, and saw that Director Zhang and Miao Zhi Zhenren were not in a hurry to talk about business, so they took themselves around to visit Baiyun Temple.

Unlike tourists, what Xu Xingkong wants to see is of course not the immortals worshiped by Baiyun Temple, he sees the inheritance and history of Baiyun Temple, of course, Xu Xingkong can also make some observations on the city's magic circle and the spirit of the magic circle in the capital through the important node of Baiyun Temple, which Director Zhang and Miao Zhizhen don't know, otherwise they won't do this stupid thing to lure wolves into the room.

From the outside, the overall area of the Baiyun Temple is not very large, but after walking around inside, I found that in fact, the area of the Baiyun Temple is very large, but the outer circle hides the real core part of the Baiyun Temple.

While everyone laughed and talked, they came to a very spacious place, this courtyard was very empty, except for a high platform on the left and right sides of the entrance, the rest of the place was a square paved with bricks, and the square was empty of nothing, except for a circle of walls and trees around it.

It looks like a square or a martial arts training ground, but if you look closely, you can see that there is no powerful magic circle enchantment around it, and the venue is not particularly reinforced.

Miao Zhizhen led everyone up to the high platform, standing on the seven or eight meters high platform overlooking the entire square, looking down, you can find that the color of the square bricks is a little different, these different colors of the square bricks constitute the shape of a grid, Xu Xingkong saw this and Lin Xiaofeng exchanged a look, smiled and asked:

"Could it be that this is the world-famous 'chess academy'?"

Miao Zhi Zhenren nodded with a smile and said:

"It's the chess academy, it's just a place to practice games, and it's famous all over the world for being the same way and loving it."

Xu Xingkong asked with a smile:

"I've heard that this chess academy is very interesting, so you might as well introduce it a little bit."

In fact, this chess court is an enlarged Go chessboard, and the two sides of the game each occupy a high platform, and then use their own means to play the game."

"To each other?"

"Yes, both sides of the game can use various means to cover the board surface, so that the opponent cannot master the board, or cannot fully grasp the situation of the board, and on the other hand, they must also try their best to break the opponent's shielding methods."

Xu Xingkong looked carefully at the real person, and the corners of his mouth hooked:

"I see that there seems to be an arrangement under the masonry and masonry of this square, so it must not be so easy to cast spells here."

Miao Zhizhen's eyes narrowed slightly, and he nodded with a smile:

"Elder Xu Gao sees that the masonry and magic circle here are indeed set up to increase the difficulty of spellcasting, the magic circle has the effect of isolation and absorption, and the masonry is a haunting spirit stone."

"Haunting Spirit Stone? I see. ”

The corners of Xu Xingkong's mouth showed a hint of disdain, the so-called lingering spirit stone is actually a kind of spirit stone that will emit irregular yuan spirit fluctuations, which can be seen without knowing that the real person said Xu Xingkong, under the real vision, the extremely chaotic halo of fluctuations in this square is clear at a glance.

Of course, Xu Xingkong can see much more than that.

"How? Is Elder Xu interested in trying out a game? ”

Xu Xingkong glanced at Director Zhang, who was smiling, and then looked at the Xuan Dao people, who also smiled faintly.

"It's interesting, but is there anything else in this?"

Mi Zhi Zhenren smiled and nodded:

"Yes, there are a few old rules for playing chess here, one is that you can't use spells that attack directly, and you can't interfere with and affect the pieces that have already fallen; The second is not to make a sound or use bright light to blind, etc...."

I know that the real person explained the rules carefully and unhurriedly, in fact, to put it bluntly, you can only use illusions or masking spells, and you can't directly interfere with the board and the opponent.

In the end, he knew that the real person looked at Xu Xingkong with great meaning:

"Finally, there is a rule that is not a rule, that is, not to play vegetarian chess?"

Xu Xingkong was stunned when he heard this:

"Vegetarian chess?"

Although Xu Xingkong doesn't know how to play chess, he also knows that this word doesn't seem to be a proper chess term.

At this time, Lin Xiaofeng, who had not spoken much, suddenly explained:

"Suqi is a game without a lottery, and the viewer means that you have to win or lose when you play chess here, or bet on winning or losing."

Xu Xingkong smiled when he heard this, and immediately understood what Director Zhang and Miao Zhi Zhenren wanted to do, and looked at Miao Zhi Zhenren with some playful expression:

"That's interesting, so what does the viewer want to bet with me?"

Miao Zhizhen looked at Director Zhang, and said with a smile as usual:

"How about a bet on a promise?"
