Location is relative.

People from different perspectives will have different perspectives on the same thing due to their own perspectives and limitations in obtaining information.

For example, in the recent Beitang River, many major events have happened one after another, all of which are shocking and far-reaching.

But for the lives of the people in the city, the legendary giants are too far away from them, so they become mysterious, and they are just moved to the table and used as after-dinner conversations.

How can the world's hidden and truly amazing connotations be seen through by the world, and why should the world care about this?

The people who don't know the truth are always just spectators who join in the fun.

The Sage Yang Xuanji forcibly broke into Xiling Academy, and the Confucian Sage Dong Zhongshu was injured and fled, and the world unanimously praised the Sage of the Pluto for being too strong, but they didn't understand that in fact, there was a Mojia giant hidden at that time.

Not only ordinary people, but even those great cultivators with transcendent status, have no way of knowing, the most important significance of this battle is not the victory or defeat, but the Yin and Yang family Liao Rushen, who has been imprisoned for many years, quietly re-entered the world.

Subsequently, the Confucian saint was in the east of Xunyang City, and failed to break through the territory at the head of the city, and the sword saint ascended to the south mountain in the west, destroying the celestial induction furnace. No matter how shrewd an outsider is, as long as he doesn't know the truth about the Heavenly Furnace, he can't connect the two things.

In their view, the master's edict was nothing more than a crusade against the sworn enemy who had destroyed the foundation of Confucianism, and by the way, to vent the anger of the failure to break through the realm.

And what they don't know is precisely what matters. It was from this incident that the master and apprentice were separated, and the roots of division within Confucianism were provoked.

Later, the sword saint suddenly descended on Qiuyu Mountain, and joined forces with the sword madness Pei Lin to issue a sword head order, to carry out a long-awaited crazy battle in the sword mound of the sloping valley, and invite the world's heroes to the alliance.

This matter, which seems to be the simplest one, is actually the most complicated. Because it is inextricably linked to what has happened before, and it is the focal point that brings all the contradictions together in one place.

On April 15, it was obviously just a duel between two people, but when it broke out, it was enough to ignite the entire Northern Tang River.

The authorities are clear, and the bystanders are confused.

Only a very small number of conspirators in the game can vaguely feel that a huge storm is coming.

……

……

Far above the clouds.

Ethereal a lonely peak.

The clouds and mist are shrouded, and the artistic conception is ethereal.

Under an ancient tree on the mountainside, a smooth white jade boulder lies horizontally.

There is a chessboard on the rock, and an old man sits on each side. Next to the chess table, a child squatted in the middle, holding his cheek with one hand, and fiddling with the chess pieces boredly.

After a long silence, the silver-haired old man tilted his head slightly, stared at the black and white chess moves, and couldn't help muttering: "What a fucking weirdness! ”

Old man Yang sat on the top, although his eyes couldn't see Liao Rushen's expression, he also knew that his face was full of doubts now, and he couldn't help but laugh: "Is there a chess game in the world that the absolute master can't understand?" ”

Liao Rushen didn't bother to pay attention to this mean ridicule, frowned and thought hard for a long time, and the chess pieces twisted between his fingers kept knocking on the rock surface.

"Who's playing chess? Could it be that Gu Jiantang is also your pawn? ”

As he spoke, he glanced deeply at Old Man Yang.

The Yin and Yang family united with the Mo family to rescue the demon of the Zongheng family, which is clearly a chess posture of combining hundreds of schools to resist Confucianism. So, these days, he's been walking around lobbying and trying to form alliances with other declining factions.

But he didn't expect that a deposed Sword Saint who only had four realms would be able to make a bigger move than him, first ascending to the south and then entering the sword abyss, with a great posture of controlling the overall situation.

This made him very unhappy and puzzled, how many gambling forces were still hidden in this game of chess in front of him.

Old man Yang said: "You are wrong, he is not my pawn, and he is not acting according to our plan." On the contrary, we should be his pawns and assist him in playing chess. ”

"Why?" Liao Rushen sneered: "Just with his cultivation in the Four Realms, he also wants to override the heads of so many powerhouses?" The old man is not convinced, and he will not set up a stage for his role, I want to see how he ends! ”

Old man Yang was not angry, and laughed, "I know, how can you not understand, to put it bluntly, you still want to put on a big shelf, and you don't want to bow your head and submit to softness." ”

Liao Rushen snorted and said disdainfully: "Use yourself as bait, first go to Zhongnan Academy to provoke Confucianism, and then go to Qiuyu Jianyuan to collude with Pei Lian, and end up with the sword path of the alliance, this kind of trick can't even fool me, and you still want to win Yuan Benxi?" ”

As he spoke, he threw the sunspot back into the chess box and said indifferently: "It's too naïve to rely on a few pieces of scrap copper and rotten iron in kendo to want to end up killing chess." No wonder he was tricked into being sent to death......"

When Old Man Yang heard this, he restrained his smile and said, "It's not as simple as you think. Li Mubai will listen to him, and I will listen to him, not only that, but there is a force hidden behind him, which is why I am willing to let him play chess. ”

Liao Rushen was slightly stunned, "What do you mean?" Isn't the Yunyao Sect already destroyed? Who else wants to stand up for him? ”

Old man Yang raised his head, faced Liao Rushen, and said in a deep voice: "After playing chess for so many years, don't you still understand?" The chess pieces on the bright side are always a cover. What is hidden behind the scenes is the knife that really kills. ”

Liao Rushen was speechless.

Old man Yang got up and said quietly: "What I'm most worried about is the old fox who wants to reap the benefits......

……

……

"Yuan Fang, what do you think?"

In the imperial city of the Northern Tang Dynasty, in the pavilion, a pair of men and women were also playing chess, but they were playing chess.

As soon as this game entered the middle game, the red and black sides were bloodied, and only the remnants of the defeated army remained. The outside of the plate was piled with eaten sacrifices, like a hill, and the bones were heavy.

The middle-aged empress raised her head and carefully looked at Yuan Benxi's square face, trying to interpret some emotions from the eyebrows and eyes of the world's number one think tank.

Yuan Benxi knew that she was looking at herself, and felt a little uncomfortable, and said with a wry smile: "Your Majesty, can you not look at it?" ”

"Can't," the empress smiled faintly, stroking the black warrior in her own nine palaces, her eyes were loving, "You are my confidant and the second gentleman of Confucianism, so anyone can not watch this game of chess, but you can't, you have to watch it." ”

Hearing this, Yuan Benxi sighed, stared at the besieged red chariot on the chessboard, and said, "It is precisely because of my complicated identity that I don't want to be caught in the middle and be in a dilemma. In fact, with Your Majesty's chess strength, where do you need me to give advice......"

The empress was noncommittal, "I care more about your attitude than victory or defeat." ”

Yuan Benxi was silent for a moment, and then he replied after considering the wording: "In my opinion, the teacher will definitely enter this game, not only to prevent the kendo alliance and resurrection, but also because he is very angry, angry that someone dares to calculate and harm him." Killing the enemy is his consistent style. ”

The Empress nodded, "I think so too." How would you like to help your teacher? ”

Yuan Benxi wanted to speak and stopped, hesitated for a while, but couldn't help but ask: "Your Majesty wants to go all out, or does he plan to sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight and reap the benefits of the fisherman?" ”

The empress's expression was slightly awe-inspiring, and she took a step casually and said, "Although I really want to see how many pythons are hidden in the rivers and lakes of the Tang Dynasty, the master must be protected." You can do your best to eradicate the remnants of the party, and you don't have to worry about my opinion. ”

Hearing this, Yuan Benxi breathed a sigh of relief, got up and saluted the empress to thank him.

The teacher has something to do, the disciple obeys his work, Yuan Benxi respects the teacher, and wants to help the master, but he has not been able to figure out the emperor's intentions, afraid that she will be jealous of the master's monstrous power in her heart, and is ready to take the opportunity to weaken him by the hands of the enemy.

Now that he has received an affirmative answer, he can free his hands and feet and concentrate on planning this game of chess.

"Judging from the current situation, Yang Xuanji and Li Mubai have already come to the stage, so the teacher and the senior brother must also enter the game, and the top ten are comparable, so that the balance of power can be regarded as equal."

Speaking of this, he paused slightly, his face worried, "However, the confrontation between these two sets may be unpredictable. As far as I know, the teacher seems to have been injured a lot, and the senior brother has been acting a little strangely lately, which is incomprehensible......"

He didn't go on.

These two sentences obviously refer to the recent changes in Xunyang and Zhongnan. Yan Yuan connived at the Sword Saint to enter the academy and let him retreat, these intriguing details of course couldn't hide from his eyes.

The empress blinked, and said leisurely: "If there is really a day in the future, which side will you stand on?" ”

This sentence has a deeper meaning, and with Yuan Benxi's mind, he categorically will not make a clear statement, and quickly replied: "It depends on which side Your Majesty is on." ”

The empress smiled and teased, "Since that's the case, I'll send you to the valley as well." If that happens, I will give you full discretion to see how you see the wind and steer the rudder. ”

Unexpectedly, Yuan Benxi decisively refused this time, shook his head and said: "Shixiang does not leave the palace, Your Majesty needs someone to protect him." It's enough to have him go, I can't leave the capital. ”

The empress was surprised and asked, "Why?" You should know very well that you are most needed to preside over the overall situation in the valley. ”

Yuan Benxi frowned, pondered for a long time, and then said: "I have a hunch that this game of chess is not just as simple as the Xiegu Alliance......"

……

……

In Jinling of the Southern Jin Dynasty, on the Cheng Terrace, there happened to be a game of chess going on.

Emperor Chen Xuanba sat in front of the table, but his eyes looked at the vast imperial city in the distance, and he didn't care about Li Fengshou, who was caught in the long exam opposite.

"The little guy's chess strength is slightly stronger than I thought."

Hearing his emotion, Li Fengshou came back from his contemplation and was slightly stunned, only to realize that this was evaluating Ren Zhen, so he echoed: "Indeed, I didn't think that his second move would involve so many forces. ”

The emperor smiled faintly, and after the old man Li played chess, he raised his hand to hold down the pawn, and took a step forward again, obviously thinking about the back hand for a long time, and was waiting for the old man Li to enter the palace.

"Tiger fathers have no dogs. There will be chaos in the North Tang River, and he finally didn't disappoint me. In this way, it is no longer good for us to stand by and watch his liveliness coldly. ”

Old man Li understood and got up to listen to the emperor's will.

"Tell me to go down, and get ready to go."
