Hearing Chaolu's words, Humpty and Fat and Tall and Thin were all stunned.

But considering that her request was not too much, the short and fat old man readily agreed without much hesitation, "Yes, girl, please speak." ”

So, Chaolu dictated according to Shumo's instructions, and the short and fat old man did it for him, which was convenient and trouble-free.

But after a while, the two old men showed surprised expressions on their faces, as if they had seen something terrible......

"What a wonderful move the girl has made!" The old man of the master stroked his long beard and couldn't help but admire, you must know that this chess game is set up by the wise man in the Xuanji Palace, and the woman in front of her is not very old, and she has solved this layer of chess games so calmly, it is really incredible!

And the short and fat old man who played chess was so surprised that he couldn't even close his mouth after playing the last hand, "This, this girl has successfully cracked the chess game and obtained the qualification to enter the Xuanji Palace!" ”

As soon as the voice fell, the audience was silent.

After a long silence, the entire venue was in a stir, and the people who were shouting for Chaolu to roll down just now looked at the stage with unbelievable eyes......

In the face of the swarming discussions, Chaolu stood up triumphantly and turned to the two old men, "Uncle, please lead the way!" ”

"This way, please."

The tall and thin old man stayed behind to preside over the overall situation, while the short and fat old man respectfully led Chao Lu towards the main hall.

Passing through the deep and winding corridor to the main hall behind the Tianji Pavilion, what catches your eye is an antique courtyard, cascading rockeries, lotus ponds, and water droplets splashed from the spring winding on the stone wall and falling into the small pool, ticking and ticking into a crisp and pleasant tune......

"Girl, the old man can only send you here, and then go to the Xuanji Palace." The short and fat old man stopped by the temple door with a smile and pointed to the front to signal Chaolu to go alone.

"Well, I'm sorry for you." Chaolu nodded, said goodbye to the stocky old man, and continued to walk forward.

After entering the temple door, the vision suddenly changed, and the vision quickly darkened, and what appeared in front of him was a majestic bronze beast head, reflecting the flickering candle flame reflecting the sparkling cold light.

After all, she didn't rely on her own strength to crack the chess game and enter this Xuanji Palace, Chaolu raised her head with some confidence, and could vaguely see a vague figure sitting on the bronze platform, her heart tightened, could it be that the legendary Tianji Pavilion Wise Man?

"You, come here." A deep old voice resounded through the hall, causing her eardrums to tingle.

Chaolu was stunned for a long time, then raised her foot and took a few steps forward, waving her hand a little restrainedly, "Hi, hello wise man~" As soon as the words came out, she realized that her way of greeting was too dick and could not highlight her heroine temperament, so she smiled awkwardly and stopped speaking nonsense.

"You are Gu Chaolu?" The wise man's voice was calm and powerful, but the words that sounded like questions were in a very affirmative tone.

Hey, she hasn't introduced herself yet, how can she be known by others? Chaolu was stunned and froze in place, after all, he had suffered too many losses in the past two years, and he was a little timid when he heard people say his name so bluntly, and he had a profound attitude that he couldn't hide anything.

“…… Don't be afraid. ”

At this moment, Shu Mo's calm and indifferent voice came from his mind.

She was shocked, and then she remembered the little dragon man with facial paralysis who had been staying in the back basket without saying a word, oh, I almost ignored this guy! Originally, only one person was allowed to enter the Xuanji Palace, but the two old men considered that it was not easy for Chaolu to take a child as a "single mother", and there was no need to guard against this child who was only two or three years old, so they specially allowed her to bring someone in.

I don't know why, although she still can't let go of this little dragon man in her heart, but when she thinks that the other party is by her side, she feels extremely relaxed, and even the mood that has been uneasy since entering the door has instantly improved a lot.

So he took a deep breath and calmed down, raised his head and faced the blurry black shadow - "That's right, I'm Gu Chaolu." ”

"If you want to ask any questions, just say it."

Ahh

Originally, I thought that the wise man would continue to babble incomprehensibly for a long time, but I didn't expect the other party to get straight to the point as soon as he came, which made the prepared Chaolu a little overwhelmed.

Thinking about it carefully, although there are many things she wants to know, what she is most concerned about at the moment is the red-eyed golden crow that she couldn't find out after all her efforts! So without much hesitation, he asked: "Wise man, I want to know the whereabouts of the red-eyed golden crow!" ”

"Oh?"

The wise man's tone rose with a little doubt, "Are you sure you only ask about this and not consider other more valuable things?" ”

Something more valuable?

For example, what kind of rare divine weapons and supreme martial arts did the big man say? Chao Lu smiled secretly in her heart, although these things are good, she has to admit that she wants them very much, but compared to Chen Yao's life is more important, you have to be kind and righteous, En'en~ "Okay, since you only want to know this......"

Seeing Chaolu's resolute little eyes, there was a hint of a smile in the wise man's tone, "The red-eyed golden crow, there is only one left in the world." ”

"Ah, it's only one?!" Chaolu was dumbfounded, the world is so big, where is she going to find this broken bird?

"The red-eyed golden crow is also known as the golden-winged Dapeng, and there are different records of physical appearance and form in different periods, you just need to remember that the bird likes to eat poisonous snakes, so it's right that you look for the most poisonous snakes in the most frequent places."

Where poisonous snakes are abundant......

What is the difference between Nima's saying this and not saying it? The world is so big, does she have to go all over the mountains and rivers to find them one by one? So I couldn't wait to continue to ask: "Can you go into more detail?" ”

"No, according to the rules, you can only ask one question." The wise man's voice was unfazed, but with a sense of oppression that could not be disobeyed.

“……”

Okay, even if she made a mistake, I knew that I would have asked directly just now, "Please tell me the specific coordinates, longitude and latitude of my red-eyed golden crow"~ Helplessly, there is no way to undo it, so I have to find a place rich in poisonous snakes to take a look, and I don't know if I can take a shit to catch the bullshit bird.

"Okay, now that I've answered your question, it's my turn to ask you a few questions, right?"

Eh, what did he just say?

After being dazed, Chao Lu raised his head with a puzzled look on his face, and hesitated: "Then, what do you want to ask?" ”

……

At the same time, far away from the Valley of Heavenly Machines.

Towards evening, the sky was shrouded in a fiery red glow, and the little bit of bright color that remained was about to be lost in the thick of the night, but the magnificent palace hidden in the mountains was brightly lit, in stark contrast to the secluded night scene around it, and at first glance it looked as illusory as a mirage in the mountains.

The night pearl inlaid on the throne of the empty hall emitted a hazy shimmer like mist, a bright red lazily leaned in front of the desk, the gauzy light outlined the delicate and beautiful facial features of the man, and the overly fair complexion was like a ghost in the night.

The red-clothed Hua Tingye stared at the chessboard on the desk with a smile, her slender fingers elegantly holding the jade chess pieces, her narrow phoenix eyes closed slightly, and she sighed and said to herself: "This game of chess has reached a wonderful time~" The words slowly fell.

“…… Deadend. ”

He stared at the chessboard for a long time, silent for a long time.

At this moment, there was a fluttering sound from the lampholder not far away, and Hua Tingye turned her head slightly to the side, and saw the shadow of a moth that had entered by mistake through the lampshade.

Indifferently watched the flaming moth fall straight down after touching the flame heart, and returned to tranquility, "Knowing that it is a dead end, do you still rush forward without hesitation?" Oh......" His eyes fluttered over the lamp and looked out the window at the vast night, his clear pupils stained with a layer of confusion, "And why do you want to break into this chess game that has nothing to do with you?" ”

There was silence for a long time, until the woman in purple behind her stepped out of the shadows and heard the sound of small footsteps.

"See the palace master."

Hua Tianye didn't turn around, his gaze fell on the distance without focus, "Have you found it all clearly?" ”

“…… There are not many people in the world who have anything to do with that incident twenty years ago. The purple-clothed Yin Linghua's eyes drooped, as if she was hesitating.

"As long as you don't die, then it's fine," Hua Tianye smiled softly, supporting her face with one hand on the cushion, her slender figure draped in red stood out against the dark background, "So, what about Xi Chongshuo?" ”

"Pavilion...... No, Xi Chongshuo has been brought back to the Shadow Pavilion by the October of the Shadows, "The habit that the undercover agent has cultivated for many years in the Shadow Pavilion has made Yin Ling a little unable to change her mouth for a while, and in the face of Hua Tianye's smiling scrutiny, she lowered her head in some panic, "But no one knows where he is placed." ”

"Really?" Hua poured her eyes into the ripples and sighed softly, "After all, he is also a pathetic person......"

"But the palace master," Yin Linghua hesitantly raised her head to look at the handsome man in red, "Now the dispute between the various factions of the Central Plains Martial Arts and the Shinrikyo seems to be calming down, although Helian has summoned all the eight ambassadors, but almost no one among the four protectors obeys him, so with his current strength, it is not easy to deal with the various factions in the Central Plains, I am afraid it will not be easy to ......."

Hearing this, the smile on the corner of Hua Tianye's mouth deepened, and he raised his right hand to take out a sunspot from the chess box, "So, he doesn't want to fight for the time being," a slight ripple appeared in the eyes of Jing Ru Stagnant, and the chess pieces in his hand slowly fell on the chessboard, "It's a pity~ This battle has begun, no matter which side you have, you have to persevere to the end, until the death side rests......" After speaking, he looked back at Yin Linghua, "Do you say, Linghua?" ”

"Linghua is willing to go to the soup for the palace master, and she will not give up!" The bell flower prostrates to the ground.
