At the moment when the Buddha's light was shattered, 100,000 miles away, in the Cangwu Continent Xiao Zen Sect, which was separated from Linhai Prefecture by the west of the vast Qingyin Continent, Master Jingxu paused with his hand holding the black chess piece.

Playing against Master Jingxu was a middle-aged man with a majestic figure, his long black hair was meticulously groomed, and a simple pineapple crown was inserted with an unpretentious agarwood branch, as if a branch was plucked from the agarwood at will, but it was as dazzling as a crown.

This middle-aged man has a very elegant face, his expression always has a faint smile, and his slender eyes are deep and dark eyes like night, but the dark eyes seem to reflect the starlight in the sky. His nose was like a hanging gall, and his stupidity was extremely thin, like two sharp blades, which made his elegant and faint smile have an aura of non-anger and self-authority.

Master Jingxu's fingers only paused slightly, and then as if nothing had happened, the sunspot landed steadily on the chessboard. Even, Master Jingxu had an inexplicable smile on his face.

The middle-aged man smiled faintly, as if he hadn't noticed the abnormal movement of Master Jingxu just now, and calmly fell, as if he spoke casually: "Master, what's wrong?" ”

His voice was gentle, but there was an indescribable confidence, as if everything in the world was held in the palm of his hand. He knows everything, he knows everything, he knows everything, so he is confident.

Master Jingxu smiled without saying a word, and glanced at the middle-aged man lightly, the look in his eyes was quite meaningful.

"Oh?" The middle-aged man was slightly stunned and said with a smile: "It is actually related to Ye?" That's a little curious. Could it be that something happened to Ye that I don't know about? ”

Master Jingxu put down the chess pieces, folded his hands and said: "Ye Jushi, the ancient saying must not be revealed, and my Buddhism also has the saying of 'unspeakable', which shows that this matter of fate is extraordinary and unspeakable." ”

The middle-aged man smiled, shook his head slightly, and said with a smile: "The master is fighting with Ye again, so it's okay." If you don't know, you don't know. As the master said. Fate is such a thing, knowing in advance, but it is not interesting. He smiled and returned to the chessboard. It seems that he doesn't care about the previous curiosity when he waves.

Master Jingxu said, "Amitabha." Ye Jushi really has a wise heart. It's hard to come by. ”

The middle-aged man surnamed Ye smiled even deeper, and after dropping the chess pieces in his hand, he said lightly: "Master." You lose. ”

Master Jingxu's eyes fell on the chessboard, and after looking at it for a long time, he sighed with great pity: "Ye Jushi's chess skills are becoming more and more profound, and the old man is willing to bow down." People say that chess games are like life, and each of us is like a chess piece, standing on this invisible chessboard, being manipulated by the hand of fate at will. But there are always some chess pieces who are not willing to be the fate of chess pieces, and always want to rush out of the chessboard and control their own lives. There are even some chess pieces who not only want to manipulate their own lives, but also want to be the chess players who manipulate other chess pieces. Ye Jushi, which category do you belong to? ”

That Ye Jushi smiled slightly, glanced at Master Jingxu with deep meaning, and said lightly: "Master, if the world is like chess, and everything is a chess piece, then we monks are the kind of chess pieces that the master said want to control their own lives." This kind of chess piece belongs to going against the sky, against the rules of heaven, against the reincarnation of fate, and is not conducive to the kind of hand in the dark to operate the entire chessboard, so it will be sent to the heavens, so it is extremely difficult and dangerous in life, so it will die without a place to be buried. As long as these restless chess pieces are eliminated, the whole chess game can be carried out in an orderly manner, and finally the final victory can be truly won. ”

"As for some of the pieces that have broken out of the shackles and want to manipulate other pieces, why not? With the strength of a chess player, there will naturally be the heart of a chess player, and how can a monk of my generation be afraid to operate current affairs when he goes against the sky? ”

Master Jingxu nodded again and again, and sighed: "Ye Jushi really has great perseverance and perseverance, using all things as chess pieces and current affairs as chess games, do you want to be the hand of fate and talk about a game with the hand of Heavenly Dao?" ”

Ye Jushi smiled faintly: "Ye is arrogant and arrogant, so the master laughed at it." ”

Master Jingxu shook his head again and again, and sighed: "Amitabha, Ye Jushi is too humble. However, the old man didn't understand a question, and he hoped that Ye Jushi would solve the old man's doubts. ”

Ye Jushi leaned over slightly: "Master, please speak." ”

Master Jingxu looked up at him and said, "As Ye Jushi said, you are playing against the Heavenly Dao, are you losing or winning now?" ”

When Ye Jushi heard this, a trace of confusion flashed in his eyes, and then he returned to clarity. He smiled and said, "Why did the master say this? My generation of monks is playing against the Heavenly Dao all the time, and if they lose, they will die, and if they win, they will be able to go further on the path of seeking the Dao. Since Ye is still alive, it proves that Ye has not lost, and Ye has been winning. ”

Master Jingxu didn't seem to be willing to let him go easily, and planned to break the casserole to ask to the end, and continued to ask: "Will there be such a game, Ye Jushi obviously thought he won, but in fact he didn't win?" The reason why this is the case may be just a volt planted by the Heavenly Dao, and when the time is right, a game will be overturned? ”

Ye Jushi did not answer immediately when he heard this, but looked deeply at the Jingxu Master opposite, the Jingxu Master's eyes were as clear and bright as a baby, and there was no deep meaning in them. The middle-aged man frowned, he always felt that Master Jingxu's words contained a deep meaning that he didn't know, what was it? What does this old monk want to say?

"The world is like chess, and it is impermanent. If there really is such a situation as the master said, then what? I, Ye, have been a soldier since I came to block the water and cover the earth, if the sky kills me, I will punish the sky. Ye Jushi snorted coldly, his thin two lips pursed tightly, and his face was solemn.

"I see, the old man knows Ye Jushi's answer." Master Jingxu saluted the middle-aged man and whispered.

"Senior brother, Master Jingxu." A woman walked in through the door, and before anyone arrived, the voice had already arrived.

A gust of incense blew into the meditation room, and the woman's figure appeared, and the gloomy meditation room seemed to brighten up at this moment. The woman was extremely beautiful, dressed as a woman, with long black and bright hair coiled up, three or two flying phoenix hairpins inserted, a touching sweet smile on the goose egg face, and a pair of autumn-like eyes as if she could speak. Unpredictable.

At this time, she walked leisurely behind the middle-aged man, looked at the chessboard, and smiled sincerely: "Senior brother, why did you win again?" Anyway, let Master Jingxu win once or twice, if this continues, Master Jingxu is not willing to play chess with you. ”

The middle-aged man smiled, looked at her dotingly, and shook his head slightly.

Master Jingxu laughed when he heard this, and said to the woman in a cool voice: "Lu Jushi, you are here to make fun of the old monk again. It's not a hero. ”

The woman surnamed Lu smiled coquettishly and said, "Master." Could it be that the little woman doesn't look like a woman so much that your old people can't tell that the little woman is a daughter, but she is not a hero in your mouth. ”

"Good, good." Master Jingxu said as if he was forgiving: "Your senior brother is a hero, you are a good man, right?" ”

The woman surnamed Lu smiled: "That's pretty much the same." Then he casually asked, "Senior brother." Guru. What were you talking about so much fun about? ”

Master Jingxu smiled: "It's just casual chat." Lao Qu is a monk. Monk, eat when it's time to eat, and sleep when it's time to sleep. What can be the matter? ”

The woman surnamed Lu rolled her eyes, as if she was very dissatisfied with Master Jingxu's remarks, and smiled at the middle-aged man beside her: "Senior brother, we've been out for a long time, it's time to go back, right?" ”

The middle-aged man nodded and stood up, and when Master Jingxu saw this, he also stood up.

"Thank you for the master's fragrant tea, he has a free day, come to visit the master again, and listen to the master's opinions." Ye Jushi bowed to Master Jingxu and said.

Master Jingxu hurriedly returned the salute: "Just a cup of tea, I can't afford to say thank you." The two donors walked slowly, and the old monk wanted to be lazy to sleep, Shenxiu, and send off guests for the old man. ”

Outside the Zen gate, a young monk with clear eyebrows walked out and stood outside the meditation room and stretched out his hand to the middle-aged man and his wife to ask: "Two laymen, please." ”

"Hahaha." The man surnamed Ye laughed and said, "The old monk wants to sleep, and I, Ye, don't dare to disturb it." Goodbye, Master of Silence. ”

"Ye Jushi walks slowly, and the road donor walks slowly."

Shenxiu kept sending the middle-aged man and his wife out of the Xiao Zen Sect before saying goodbye and turning back, and went to the outside of the Jingxu Master Zen to reply: "Presiding over Qiqi, I have sent Ye Jushi and his wife out of the temple." ”

"Well, what did the two of you say?" The voice of the Master of Silent Void came from the room.

"No, Mr. and Mrs. Ye did not speak." Shenxiu said respectfully.

There was silence in the meditation room for a while, and then Master Jingxu continued: "Shenxiu, do you want to go out for a walk?" ”

Shenxiu's face did not change at all, and he put one palm on his chest: "If the host has instructions, the little monk should share the worries of the host." ”

"Okay, you go down first, and I'll let you know when it's time to leave." Master Silent Void said.

Shenxiu bowed down and retreated.

The middle-aged man surnamed Ye is called Ye Tiancheng, and the woman surnamed Lu is called Lu Lingxi, and the two are Taoist couples to each other. Ye Tiancheng is the head of the Shuixie Xiangting in one of the two factions in Cangwuzhou, and Lu Lingxi is the head lady of the Shuixie Xiangting.

Ye Tiancheng's cultivation is already at the peak of the sixth layer of the Yuan Infant, and the monk of Lu Lingxi is also the second layer of the Yuan Infant Stage, not only that, but Ye Tiancheng has replaced the original Lu Tianyong, the old head of the Water Pavilion Xiangting, and has become one of the seventeen elders of the Heavenly Dao Alliance.

As one of the two sects and one sect of Cangwu, Shuixie Xiangting has a long inheritance of strength and profound heritage, and in today's cultivation world, its strength is also one of the best in the Three Realms. It stands to reason that Ye Tiancheng, as the head of Shuixie Xiangting, is also a peak cultivator in the middle of the Yuan Infant Period, and he is also one of the seventeen elders of the Heavenly Dao Alliance, so there should be nothing that can move him.

At this time, he still had a faint smile on his face and a serene look in his eyes. However, as his Taoist companion, Lu Lingxi, who has been with him for hundreds of years, can see at a glance that her senior brother has something on his mind.

"Senior brother, what's the matter?" She asked with concern.

Ye Tiancheng put away the smile on his lips, shook his head and said lightly: "I don't know, it's just that the old monk said something just now, which made me a little uncertain." ”

Lu Lingxi smiled disapprerovingly: "That old monk loves to pretend to be a ghost, and he is always witty in his words, and he can't hear half of the truth, why should senior brother take his words to heart?" ”

Ye Tiancheng thought for a while, shook his head and said: "Otherwise, although the old monk always talks half-cut and half-intercepted, this person's Buddhism is profound, and he seems to be able to foresee the past and the future, and he never wants to say half a lie." Since he said so, there must be a reason for saying so. I don't know what is the reason for this. ”

Lu Lingxi's expression also became solemn, and after thinking about it, he said, "Why don't I go back to my father and let him calculate?" ”

Ye Tiancheng thought about it for a while, and said lightly: "My father-in-law is in retreat, preparing to impact the Transformation Realm, so there is no need to disturb his old man for some trivial things." If there is a cause and effect, I would like to see what the cause and effect are. ”

Lu Lingxi took Ye Tiancheng's hand and smiled softly: "Well, I also want to see what the old monk is pretending to be." ”

As the two spoke, their figures disappeared into the air without a trace.

……

As soon as the Buddha's light on the thirteenth floor of Tsing Yi broke, Mrs. Qin did not immediately enter the thirteenth floor of Tsing Yi, but waited for Wang Ping to cover the sky with the cold knife qi, and then stepped into the thirteenth floor of Tsing Yi.

Wang Ping followed closely behind her and said disdainfully: "Mrs. Qin, this thirteenth floor of Tsing Yi is already a turtle in an urn at this moment, why should you worry so much." ”

Madame Qin glanced at him lightly and said in a deep voice, "Elder Wang, in just a short period of time, seven disciples of the foundation building period I sent to attack the thirteenth floor of Tsing Yi have already died, which is not normal. You and I joined forces to quickly push the thirteenth floor of Tsing Yi, so as not to have too many dreams at night. ”

Wang Ping said indifferently: "It's just the last dying struggle, since you want to destroy the door, it's worth paying some price." My Huayin Sect has also had nine Foundation Building Stage disciples dead. But so what, the other party must have died more monks. ”

Mrs. Qin was just about to speak, but her face suddenly changed drastically, and she exclaimed: "No, my Yijian Sect has a total of fifteen disciples from the foundation building period, and now eleven of them have their lives shattered. Three of them were broken at the same time. I think it must be An Yun, the owner of the thirteenth floor of Tsing Yi, who made a move. ”

"Hahaha." Wang Ping laughed out loud and said in a sinister manner: "Okay, since she made a move, the old man will meet her." Mrs. Qin went by herself, and the girl was left to the old man to deal with. ”

Madame Qin glanced at him deeply, her figure flashed, and she went to the direction where the remaining few disciples of the foundation building period were. She already regretted it a little at this time, the price she paid for attacking the thirteenth floor of Tsing Yi this time was too heavy, even if she bulldozed the thirteenth floor of Tsing Yi in one fell swoop, the strength of Yijian Gate also doubled, and it was really worth the loss.

However, it has come to this point, even if she regrets it, there is no reason to give up halfway.

At this moment, several silver rays of light suddenly appeared in front of her, blocking her path. (To be continued......)
