I don't know how long it took, I felt my mouth wet, opened my eyes, Ni Kun knelt in front of me, pinching my face, she took a deep breath, an anxious and sad face, was about to go down, I wanted to accept this "stability", but she saw that I woke up, actually stopped, exhaled that breath, and sat on the ground: "But scared me to death, you!" ”

I struggled to get up, and saw that the parts on my body were still there, not far away, the eagle man and the hazy moon were meditating, and the three-eyed Lin Jiao was lying weakly in a straight line, with a big mouth, panting heavily, it seemed that they had all been hit hard and were healing.

The purple light was still shining around, and I looked up at the sky, the purple cloud was still there, but Ling'er couldn't see her anymore, and I didn't know if she was swallowed up, digested, or temporarily "imprisoned" by the clouds.

"How long?" I asked Ni Kun, his throat was very dry, as if he had just been burned by fire.

"Three minutes." Ni Kun said.

"What about Ling'er? See? I asked again.

Ni Kun pointed to the top of his head: "It should still be on it." ”

"What the hell is going on?"

“…… How do I know! Ni Kun frowned, she is a human being, and it is estimated that she does not know as much about the Tribulation as I do.

I slowed down, and was about to go over to ask the eagle man, suddenly, the purple light above my head became dazzling, I looked up again, only to see that the clouds in the position where Ling'er had been sucked away before opened a hole, and a middle-aged woman in a strange costume floated down from it, carrying a broken gong or something in her left hand, and holding a small hammer in her right hand.

"Hey! Did you take my friend away? I asked out loud, not knowing who she was, so I wasn't so afraid of her.

However, the "fairy" who descended didn't pay attention to me, she squinted slightly, and landed on the side of the Hawkman and Haoyue, at a height of one meter from the ground, her feet were suspended in the air, her body was fixed, and then, she opened her mouth and said a few words to the Hawkman Man.

It sounds like Manchu, and I kind of remember the middle-aged woman's outfit...... Shamans?

After listening to this, Huo Di flapped his wings, as if he was very angry, and replied a few words, also in Manchu.

The middle-aged woman was not in a hurry, and after saying a few more words, the eagle man was stunned and nodded slightly.

In this process, Haoyue has been standing in place, lowering her head, not daring to speak, her status with the Eagle Man, the judgment is high, I am like, maybe the Eagle Man always likes to fly around to inspect Changbai Mountain, is it because it is the leading brother of the entire Xing'an Demon Clan? Or the eldest sister who takes the lead - its gender, for the time being, can not be determined.

After the middle-aged woman finished speaking, she slowly flew up again, I didn't dare to squeak again, and waited until she flew into the purple auspicious clouds, and then I ran over and asked the eagle man and Haoyue: "What's the fat matter?" Is Ling'er there with her? ”

Haoyue nodded: "The shaman ancestor wants us to exchange." ”

"Exchange Ling'er? With what? I quickly asked.

"Chess."

"Chess?" I'm confused, what do you mean?

"She will lay out a game of chess, and if we can solve it, she will let Ling'er go." Hazy Moon asked in disappointment.

"This is your human game," the Hawkman man said in human language, "Moreover, it is a chess game set up by the Dao Sect Immortal to the Shaman Patriarch, it must be difficult to solve, it may ...... We can't get Ling'er back. ”

"What does it mean that you can't get it back?" I asked, "Yes...... Dead? ”

Haoyue shook her head: "That's not true, it's just that the shaman patriarch stayed by his side and became an attendant, which can be regarded as a Taoist cultivator." ”

"! Didn't you tell me, being a talent is what your demon clan wants! It's not a cultivator! I grabbed Haoyue's shoulder and shook it vigorously, "Find a way again, you guys!" Hurry up and change Ling'er back! ”

"What can the Shaman Patriarch do to take charge of all the Xing'an Demon Clan's Tribulation Cultivators?" The eagleman sighed, "Forget it. ”

"What a count!" I wanted to shake its shoulder again, but it was too high for me to reach, "Isn't it just a game of chess, then come on, in case I can solve it!" ”

At this time, I noticed that the purple clouds had begun to move towards the east, and it seemed that the shaman patriarch was going to bring Ling'er back!

"Hey!" I hurriedly shouted into the sky, "Stop! Lao Tzu is playing chess with you! ”

"Don't be rude!" Hazy Moon kicked me.

"She was rude first!" I ignored it, and continued to shout to the sky, and then it became a curse, the scolding was very ugly, and the grass and the like came out, and finally, the patriarch "changed his mind", and the purple cloud floated back again, and the middle-aged woman reappeared, and quickly flew down with an angry face, hovering in front of me, and said a bunch of words.

"What did she say?" I asked Haoyue if she had to have an interpreter.

“…… She's scolding you, and it's worse than what you just scolded her......" Haze Moon explained with a dark face.

I nodded: "It's okay, you tell her that I'm going to play chess with her." ”

The middle-aged female patriarch actually understands Chinese, otherwise she didn't know that I was scolding her just now...... Not necessarily, maybe in the clouds, Ling'er translated it for her, no matter what, Haoyue relayed my words respectfully, and the patriarch woman snorted coldly, said something, and flew up again.

"What did she say?" I asked.

"Prepare you to break the game."

Did she say if ...... What happens if it can't be broken? "I asked very cowardly, won't you take me in?

"That's not true, let's stand on the sidelines." Haoyue asked me to stand on the side, she and the eagle man, holding the tail of the three-eyed Lin Jiao, also pulled it to the side of the big stone, just moved out of the way, Ziyun split down the lightning again, this time one after another, in an instant, the air has become white, like electric welding, I can't open my eyes at all!

A burnt smell came, and it was fragrant.

When the lightning stopped, I opened my eyes, only to see that on this big stone, the original uneven ground, has been "cut" flat by thunder, the three pine trees are gone, I took a closer look, the ground is not only flat, but also a lot of vertical and horizontal deep ditches, and then, the clouds began to throw things down, it is chess pieces, one after another to throw down, each has the size of a grinding board, clattering to different positions on the chessboard, with the names of the corresponding chess pieces, general, handsome, rook, horse, soldier, pawn, etc., There is also a distinction in color, red and black.

"Ah Kun, how is your chess level?" I asked Ni Kun quietly.

"I ...... I won't go down! Ni Kun frowned and said, "You shouldn't be able to, and you won't play, right?" ”

The two of us are human beings, so we can understand this thing, the big man of the human eagle walks around in Changbai Mountain every day, how can this be, not to mention Haoyue, most of her knowledge and academics are still given to her when I was a child, which is equivalent to the level of primary school education, and I haven't taught her chess.

"I'll be a little, but not great." I said, grandparents can play chess, they often play in the yard, I just watched on the side, and I learned one or two without a teacher, and then slowly became proficient, and began to play chess with my grandparents, grandma let me, I always win, grandpa is not used to me, I keep losing, the last game of chess in my life, if I remember correctly, is with the stupid pillar next door, I think he is a fool, definitely can't play me, but I didn't expect that he killed me to the ground, since then, I haven't touched this thing - this is my levelIt's too embarrassing.

"Then you'll have to try it, it's all on the table." Haoyue had the attitude of a dead horse as a live horse doctor.

Bang, a chess piece moved to the right, it seemed to be red, which means that she went first?

I entered the "chessboard" and circled twice, this chessboard is too big, and each chess piece is very high, about one meter five, I can see this, but I can't see what is next door, I haven't even figured out the current layout!

I had an idea and turned to the eagleman: "Big guy, take me to the sky to take a look." ”

The eagle man nodded, took off, grabbed my shoulders, and carried me into the air, flying up for nearly fifty meters, looking down, I can see the whole situation clearly, sure enough, Master Zu is a red chess, after she goes first, she will kill me in one step, that is, unless I continue to kill her army until I kill her, or I kill her car and pawn who are about to kill me, it is considered a victory.

I studied for a long time, and there was only one word that could take the first step in her, that is, the left horse entered the palace, put herself at the feet of the soldier, and let her eat, and the other chess pieces could not form a great leader, that is, this was the only possible move.

"Horse seven into five." I say.

"What do you mean?" The Hawkman asked me.

“…… It's a chess term, horse seven into five! ”

The Hawkman thought about it, but still didn't understand.

"Oops, Hazy Moon!" I rushed down and shouted, "You go into the chessboard and look for the dark horse...... It's not that, it's another dark horse, yes, move it a block forward...... That's the back, the front! Yes, move two more squares to the left, okay, this is it! ”

It's a lot of work!

Fortunately, Haoyue took the first step, the Great Commander, as expected, Master Zu immediately used a soldier, and the soldier dropped my horse - that is also her only way to move, if she doesn't eat, she will die, it seems to be a very dangerous chess game.

After taking the first step, I began to think about the second step, I can only continue to be the commander, but this time, I have two choices, one is the commander of the cannon, which is also a method of sending death, and the other is the commander of the pawn, this will not die, and it seems that it will make the other party embarrassed.

But on this basis, I thought about it two more steps, and I completely fell into a dead end, and I couldn't go any further.

Therefore, if this way of moving doesn't work, you can only go with guns!

"Haoyue, move the cannon...... "I command Haoyue again, and continue to lead with cannons.

The ancestor in the clouds, it is estimated that he has been down many times, and without hesitation, he trampled my cannon with his horse, and the cannon, as well as my black horse that was eaten before, disappeared.

The third step, you have to continue, this is difficult, just now it was two choices, and now, because her horse's position has changed, suddenly it has become five choices.

I thought about each way of moving separately, but I couldn't decide whether it was right or wrong, and my head was going to explode when I thought about it!

Suddenly, the woman's voice came from the air.

"What did she say?" I asked the eagle man.

The big guy said, "Let you hurry up." ”

"What's the hurry! I can't even think about it! ”

I continued to think about it, but it still didn't work, the more I thought about it, the more chaotic it became, hey, wait!

"Ah Kun!" I shouted down, "That satellite phone of yours, can I get internet?" ”

In order to maintain communication, before leaving, Ah Kun got a satellite phone.

“…… Okay, what's wrong? Ni Kun took out the phone suspiciously.

"Can you shop online?"

"Yes."

"That's okay, big guy, let me down, I've thought of a solution!" I laughed.
