That night, the senior brother Yue Yunlong drove Xiao Yi and the others back to the hotel and made an appointment to meet the next day before leaving, because the next day was the old man's sacrifice day.

When he returned to the hotel, it was almost early in the morning, but Xiao Yi didn't feel sleepy at all, his mind was full of things about the old man and the guardian, and what the sentence "The forward eyes can't see the future clearly, but the backward eyes can see the past" meant.

Guardian, what do you have to protect?

If there has to be a reasonable answer to this question, then it is clear that the answer is an alien ability.

The only thing that makes Xiao Yi different is his extraordinary ability, which may be the meaning of the old man guarding himself.

The Jianghu file has its own name on it, and he has long placed himself on the opposite side of the eight major forces, that is to say, his position has long been set by Bo Changyuanzhi.

Why did he want to make himself an enemy of the eight major forces, could it be that he wanted to use his own hand to destroy the eight major forces to avenge him?

This is not very likely, he is already dead, even if he destroys the eight major forces that betrayed him, what good will it do him?

Or does he know that one day in the future, the eight major forces will harm the Quartet, and he wants to use my hand to eradicate them and restore stability in the world?

This possibility may be even greater, so that there is a reasonable explanation for why Bo Changyuanzhi wrote his name on the front page of the Jianghu archive and made that highly suggestive poem.

He was here to point out a direction for the eight major forces, because if they hadn't been chasing and forcing him to kill at the beginning, he wouldn't have been willing to wade into this troubled water, and he did it just to make the whole plan more foolproof and let himself take the initiative to go to the position he had arranged.

In this way, is this man's wisdom not close to the demon?

All this journey has been in his calculations?

It's horrible!

What kind of person is this?

Xiao Yi was drenched in cold sweat on his forehead, and his palms were subconsciously clenched tightly, this feeling of being treated as a chess piece was suffocated to the extreme, what made him powerless was that this was a game that people had laid out hundreds of years ago, he could only go hard, and he couldn't resist at all, even if he knew this, there would be no second choice, this was an unsolvable problem at all.

Someone once asked the question, which is more difficult to solve a difficult problem that no one else can solve, or the difficult problem to solve? If Xiao Yi chooses, of course, he does not hesitate to be the latter.

Thinking of the chess pieces, Xiao Yi suddenly remembered the conversation he had with Director Liu.

He ...... Why did you give up such a privileged life and choose to retreat to the mountains and raise me alone, an orphan? ”

"Because he wants to stop the person who is playing chess, he wants to hide your vital chess piece and make this game of chess a stalemate forever!" Director Liu stared down at Xiao Yi and said very seriously.

"Chess players?"

"Hmm!"

"Who the hell is that?"

"When mentioning him, the master only said that this person takes time and space as a plate and the common people as his son, and he didn't say much about the rest!"

Xiao Yi's brows furrowed tightly.

"Before he died, the master instructed us that the two things he handed over to you must be kept safe, and they can only be held in their own hands, and never trust anyone around you, even yourself!" Director Liu said solemnly.

Now it seems that the person who plays chess should be Bo Changyuanzhi, why did the master stop him?

If the master really wants to stop him, he shouldn't have guarded me, but should have killed me with a knife earlier!

From this point of view, the master should be on the side of Bo Changyuan.

But Director Liu made it very clear that the master just wanted to stop the people who played chess, and who was this person who played chess if he wasn't Bo Changyuan?

Wait a minute!

Playing chess is a game, and one person can't play at all, because playing chess is a matter for two people.

The master wants to stop another chess player, and that person is also Bo Changyuan's opponent.

As soon as he thought of this, Xiao Yi felt as if a knot had suddenly opened in his heart, and he was much more comfortable and brighter, but his gloomy mood was still a little dull.

Only now did he understand that the old man had only played the role of an auxiliary minister for so many years.

Auxiliaries and adoptive fathers are two very different concepts.

The former has to do this for some reason because of interests, such as those teachers who assist the prince, can he refuse?

The adoptive father and the master are different, this is out of pure feelings, he can not be your master and there will be no loss, the reason why he is your master is that he sincerely wants to teach you.

And now, probably because of the pivotal relationship of his chess piece.

If you want to keep the pieces on the board from becoming outcasts, you must make yourself useful at all times.

"Hoo ......"

sighed deeply, no matter what, it was the master who pulled him up for so many years, and there was hard work without credit, no matter what the purpose was, he should be grateful to him.

So the only doubt now is the identity of another chess player, this person can play against Bo Changyuanzhi is obviously not a mediocre person, so who is he?

If he is a pawn of Bo Changyuanzhi, then who will be the pawn of this chess player?

Eight major forces, nine people at the helm (because the Thousand Hands Gate was split into the southern and northern factions, and the guide zhì Guanyin and the Buddha both had different powers)?

That's right, it must be them, they must be the pawns of this person.

Just ask them to tell how they have magical powers, and they will be able to find out who this person is.

Xiao Yi opened his eyes suddenly, and his slender eyes were extremely bright.

"What were you doing?" The sound of the smoker came with the curling smoke.

"Think about something"

"I can see that you were so serious just now, I was embarrassed to disturb you, and the reason why I stayed was to hear what you were thinking"

"What would you think if I said that everything, whether it is the eight major forces, or you and me, is a game of chess, and we are all chess pieces on the chessboard?" Xiao Yi hesitated for a few seconds, licked his chapped lips, and said seriously.

The smoker rolled his eyes and said, "What do you think?" ”

"I mean, do you believe it?"

"Why don't you believe it?" The smoker spat out a thick puff of smoke at Xiao Yi.

Xiao Yi wrinkled the tip of his nose, quickly fanned off the smoke, and looked at the smoker with a solemn face: "You believe me?" ”

"Why don't I sit here and wait for you to finish?" The smoker rolled his eyes again.

Xiao Yi was silent for a while, and he was speechless.

"If I'm not mistaken, one of the players in this game of chess you mentioned is my ancestor Chang Yuanzhi, right?" The smoker snuffed out the cigarette butt and slowly raised his head.

Xiao Yi was extremely surprised: "You already guessed?" ”

"No, but I seem to understand something when you suddenly say that, after all, you also said why he pushed you to the cliff, indeed, it seems that he is the culprit who brought you to this point, so that a big reason for today's situation is because of him, so is he not a chess player, is it difficult to be a chess piece?" The smoker asked rhetorically.

Xiao Yi smiled: "You are right, he is one of the chess players, what we have to do now is to find another chess player, and the mystery of Yiqiē will be solved, but if you want to find him, you have to go to the helm of the eight major forces!" ”

"You're saying that their alien abilities have something to do with that chess player?"

"If you don't, do you believe it?"

"Do you believe it?"

"Faith!"

"Is there a reason for me not to believe it?"

The two looked at each other and laughed tacitly. (To be continued.) )
