Chapter 51 Life is like chess, and red dust is a game

The vicissitudes of Wuling, after the baptism of years and frost, the streets and houses are stained with mottled traces.

As soon as he entered the city, Zhuo Chuan felt a strong atmosphere of the old city coming to his face, and he had the illusion of walking in the picture scroll of time, as if the years were reversed at this moment, and the heavens and the earth were returning to the state of ancient times.

For a moment, his heart trembled, and countless memories of the past came to mind......

The majestic rain at night outside Yue Village, the cold and biting cold that he climbed out of the low mountain, and the confusion of looking around.

Then the appearance of Wu Haoran, the cultivation of Ziyang Cave, the Enlightenment Cliff, the martial arts field, the green peak and beautiful water, the Linghe Jade Rabbit, just like the dust cave of the fairyland, not stained with red dust and trivial world.

The Three Immortals Meeting was held, and several major cave monks met together, pulled elixirs, picked strange fruits, were chased by snakes, and fought with tigers.

Subsequently, the appearance of the Night Emperor's Palace should be the voice of Shitai......

All the things he has experienced in the past six months have quietly emerged at this moment, from the moment Zhuo Chuan approached Wuling City, and quickly turned over in his mind.

In just a few breaths, Zhuo Chuan seemed to have experienced those things again, which was a very peculiar feeling that surprised him.

After he recovered, he suddenly felt relaxed all over his body, and the confusion and hesitation left in his heart, panic and helplessness were all released at this moment, as if he had suddenly let go of the burden of his whole body, and his heart was relaxed.

Kiss!

Zhuo Chuan seemed to hear a soft sound in his darkness, as if some obstacle had been broken, the mana in his body was surging, and the god appeared, and his cultivation was even more vigorous and pure than before.

"The Skyclave Realm is finally complete at this moment, and I have stepped into the Split Mountain Realm!"

Zhuo Chuan was surprised, feeling a little unreal, the bottleneck that had trapped him for so long had quietly broken under such circumstances without warning.

"Is this the magic of the Changming Mountain Range?" He knew that the reason why this was all due to the kind of memories he had just fallen into from the past, which made the hidden dangers he had left behind disappear and his cultivation could be a matter of course.

At the same time, Su Ze, who was standing beside him, was also surprised, there was a strange look on his face, he also entered that strange state, and benefited a lot.

"Is this really the place of God's favor, as they say?" he muttered to himself, unable to think of any other words to describe what he had just experienced.

Wuling City is very prosperous, with a lot of traffic, the cries of all kinds of vendors are endless, and the houses and buildings on both sides of the street are old, at least one or two hundred years ago.

The long black street is intricate and leads in all directions, and it is easy to get lost once you enter.

"It is forbidden to fight in Wuling City, it is forbidden to fly wantonly in the city, if there is a violation, it will be expelled from the city, and the sacrifice road will be killed!"

This is a notice in front of the city gate, reminding the monks who enter Wuling City!

"In fact, not only Wuling City, but also the other two ancient cities, no fights are allowed in the city, even if it is a life and death enemy, they must leave before they can do it, otherwise they will be punished by the law enforcers. ”

An old man came up and told Zhuo Chuan about these things.

"Looking at the two of you, it should be the first time to see the Ming Mountain Range, right?" He was on crutches, his body was slumped, he was very old, and his skin was wrinkled like old tree bark.

The old man is also a monk, but his qi and blood have long since begun to dry up with age, and his cultivation realm has fallen, and he can't see what kind of strength he is.

Zhuo Chuan and the two nodded, they were indeed coming to the Changming Mountain Range for the first time, and there were many things they didn't understand that they needed to know.

"The younger generation came here for the first time, and I didn't know the rules of Wuling City, and I still hope that the seniors will tell me a thing or two. Zhuo Chuan and Su Ze supported the old man and slowly left the city gate.

"There are no rules in Wuling City, only prohibitions. You must not fly freely, you must not fight, you must not destroy the buildings of the ancient city......"

As the old man spoke, the three of them walked into the depths of the street, bustling with pedestrians, most of them monks, but there were also quite a few mortals.

"Also, remember the most important thing, the monks in Wuling City are not allowed to kill ordinary people who have not cultivated for any reason, otherwise they will be imprisoned in a black prison. ”

The two nodded, this kind of regulation is available in many ancient cities, in order to ensure the safety of ordinary people, after all, the monk is strong, if he deliberately commits murder, almost no ordinary person can escape from it.

Zhuo Chuan remembered that Yelan Town, outside the ancient ruins, seemed to have such a rule.

"I don't know what the old-timers call it?"

"Zhaohua!"

"Zhaohua...... How does it feel so familiar, where have I heard it?" Zhuo Chuan frowned, he seemed to have heard this name, but he couldn't remember it for a while, and his memory was a little unclear.

Su Ze on the side was stunned when he heard this, and the expression on his face changed again and again.

Zhaohua one, they have indeed heard of it, and not long ago, not even a day has passed.

The master of the Ye family's brothers and sisters, the ancient saint of Zhaohua in the eastward move!

"Senior ......" He didn't know what to say, but the two of them met such a big man when they entered Wuling City, which made him feel unreal.

Su Ze would never suspect that someone was pretending to be an ancient saint.

Because, every saint is majestic and majestic, and if he offends, it is a great sin, and no one in the entire Daze Prefecture can afford it.

At this time, Zhuo Chuan finally remembered the name, and his expression froze suddenly.

According to rumors, the Zhaohua Ancient Sage is one of the few surviving sages in this world, who has participated in the wars of the border desert and guarded the territory, whether it is strength or prestige in the world, almost no one can match.

"Some people even say that the Zhaohua Ancient Sage is the strongest person in the entire five states and three rivers, standing at the peak. Zhuo Chuan couldn't calm down in his heart.

The secret realm has border passes and deserts, barren and uninhabited land, as well as the five states and three rivers where they are now, which together constitute this small world.

Dazezhou is one of the five states, close to the border pass, and is not prosperous compared to the other four states and three rivers.

The old man seemed to know what the two of them were thinking, smiled indifferently, shook his head and said: "I am that Zhaohua, nor is it that Zhaohua, in a sense, I am him, and he ...... Not me. ”

He walked ahead and motioned for the two to follow.

"The younger generation doesn't understand ......"

Su Ze and Zhuo Chuan looked at each other, not understanding what the old man said, what is yes and no, a Zhaohua ancient saint, is there still two people?

"If you don't understand, you don't understand, and if you do, it's not a good thing. The old man sighed leisurely, and did not explain much to them.

There are a lot of pedestrians in Wuling City, and most of the houses and buildings on both sides of the street are mainly black, with a calm and ancient charm, but it will also make ordinary people feel a little depressed, and there is less red dust in ordinary towns.

Zhuo Chuan and the others didn't ask much, since the seniors didn't want to talk about it, there was naturally a reason.

The old man Zhaohua has a rickety figure, which is very different from the rumored image of the ancient saint, and he does not have the majesty of the sky and the earth at all, but like an ordinary old man, the kind that will be submerged in the crowd, and he will be overwhelmed by everyone.

The three of them kept going, and soon after, they arrived at their destination.

This is a quaint old building, surrounded by lush foliage of old trees, compared to the place along the way, this place is very secluded, at a glance is full of unknown vegetation and strange rocks, only a few small buildings are scattered in it.

The old man opened the door and walked in, Zhuo Chuan and Su Ze glanced at each other, and then followed in.

To the surprise of the two, as soon as they stepped through the door, the scene in front of them changed instantly, and in an instant, the tables, chairs, stairs, etc. in the original small building disappeared, replaced by a piece of greenery.

The small stream on his side flows, the sound is crisp and pleasant, and the flowers are blooming in the distance, and the trees are verdant.

The fragrance of the mountains and wilderness is blowing on the face, the air is fresh, making people feel calm, not far away, two golden-horned spirit deer are playing, next to them, several arrogant white cranes treading water and pacing, glancing at the two of them and then turning away.

This is a small valley, the aura is so abundant that it almost turns into mist, and there is an endless mist of steaming between the mountains and rocks, and the sky sometimes blooms with glow, dyeing the whole sky.

Zhuo Chuan was surprised, they just walked into a small building, but in an instant they came to another world, where the mountains and wilderness were spiritual, like a paradise.

This reminded him of the scene where he once left the small heavy domain, and it was also a step out, and the world changed!

On the opposite side of the stream there was a stone table, two stone benches, on which was placed an unfinished game of chess, on which the black and white pieces fell on the chessboard, and it was impossible to see who would lose and who would win.

The old man Zhaohua was sitting next to the stone table at the moment, holding a black chess piece in his hand, and his eyes fell on the chessboard, but he didn't make a move for a long time.

The old man was separated from them by a small stream, and there was a wooden bridge downstream from which he could pass, but it was a long way from them, nearly a hundred feet.

The stream was not wide, only two or three meters, and with the strength of the two of them, they only needed to take a step to cross it.

Zhuo Chuan and Su Ze looked at each other and smiled, they had two choices, cross the bridge or cross the creek directly......

"What do you say?" Zhuo Chuan glanced at the wooden bridge downstream, feeling a little far away, and didn't want to waste more time to make a detour.

Su Ze thought for a moment and said, "You don't need to be in a hurry, let's take the bridge." ”

As he spoke, he walked downstream, after all, sitting opposite was the Zhaohua Ancient Sage, and he needed to have a heart of awe.

But Zhuo Chuan didn't move, he glanced at the old man Zhaohua who was focused on the chessboard, and then at Su Ze who was walking towards the wooden bridge, pinched his nose, raised his foot and stepped over from the creek to the other side.

If you can directly cross the past with your own ability, why do you have to follow the rules and take a detour?

This is Zhuo Chuan's thoughts, and he doesn't think that Su Ze's choice is undesirable, it's just that the two have two different views on the same thing.

After a while, Su Ze came to Zhuo Chuan with a look of surprise, and he guessed from what the latter asked before that Zhuo Chuan didn't want to go over the bridge in his heart.

The two came to the stone table side by side and bowed to the old man Zhaohua.

"I still don't know how to play this chess. The old man looked at the two of them and smiled lightly, and put back the sunspot in his hand that had not fallen for a long time.

"I don't know the seniors...... Who did this game of chess come to this point?" Zhuo Chuan asked boldly, he didn't know much about black and white Go, but he could roughly see from the old man Zhaohua's long-standing thoughts that this game of chess had reached a stalemate.

Su Ze next to him is also a person who doesn't know chess, and he is also confused when he looks at this chess game.

"Life is like chess, and Hongchen is a game...... In this game of chess, I am playing against this vast world. ”
