Chapter 167: An Inexplicable Game of Chess

Nothing will happen, right?

Zhao Tian was a little worried, and was about to open his mouth and call the husky back.

However, he glanced at the old man surnamed Lu who was sitting under a grapevine trellis in the distance, looking intently at an ancient book, and still gave up this plan.

After all, this old man is so unfathomable, he must know more about Xiao Xiang's physical condition, since he didn't stop it, it shouldn't be an accident.

"The young man's name is Zhao Tian, right?

Would you like to play a few games of Go with the old man?"

When Zhao Tian came over, the old man surnamed Lu suddenly put down the book in his hand and smiled calmly.

Zhao Tian was stunned for a moment, countless thoughts flashed in his mind, and finally he smiled brightly and sat down directly.

"Since the old gentleman invited, the younger generation is better than obeying his fate.

However, I only know a little about Go, and I ask the old gentleman to be merciful. ”

"Let's get started!"

The old man surnamed Lu shook his head with a smile, but his old eyes were still quiet, like the vast and endless night sky.

So, in a small courtyard in the corner of the city, under the trellises of dark green and withered yellow grapevines, an old man and a young man began to play chess leisurely.

On the other side of the yard, a slightly thin little girl and a big black and white dog were chasing each other, playing happily.

"Hee-hee!"

"Wang, Wang, Wang..."

With the sound of laughter like silver bells, and the barking of dogs from time to time, everything seemed so harmonious.

In the mountains and forests more than ten kilometers away from the city, birds and birds are chirping, and beasts are roaring, which is a scene of deep mountains and old forests.

Even though it is only more than 10 kilometers away from the city, it was just a piece of farmland just over two months ago, but now it has truly become a veritable deep mountain forest.

"The changes caused by this great change in heaven and earth are really big!"

The mountain forest, which had been noisy, suddenly fell silent, and became extremely silent, as if the roaring beasts had never existed.

A young man with a face like white jade, with an extremely leisurely expression, walked step by step into this mountain forest.

He wore a lupine scarf, wore a Hanfu, and dragged a quaint compass on his left hand, dressed very similar to a certain figure in the Three Kingdoms period.

Walking slowly, the young man walked calmly between the mountains and forests, stepping on streams and rivers, and turning over undulating ridges, as if he wanted to measure every corner of this mountain forest with a pair of feet.

I don't know how long it has been, but in front of the entrance of a deep valley, the young man stood tall, and a faint smile rose from the corner of his mouth.

"Where the earth steam engine gathers, the netherworld qi is self-generated, so choose this place. ”

Putting away the compass in his hand, the young man was about to enter this canyon, but suddenly stopped and turned his head to look at the other side.

In the forest, a middle-aged man in a wide robe with big sleeves and a high crown in ancient clothes strolled over and appeared in front of the young man.

"Brother Zhuge is one step ahead of me. ”

"Brother Guigu is also here, I'm really a little surprised.

It's just that every time I see Brother Guigu, it seems that his face is a little more mature, could it be that the cultivation techniques of the legendary Guigu lineage will really make people age early?"

The young man known as Zhuge smiled, and waved the black and white feather fan in his hand gently, looking thoughtful.

"Brother Zhuge doesn't want to make fun of him, but since we all have the same plan, why don't we work together?"

Although he was ridiculed by the other party, he looked like a middle-aged man, but he was actually only in his 20s, but he was not angry, but just smiled lightly.

The two looked at each other, and they both saw the smile in each other's eyes.

...

In the small courtyard, a game of Go has ended, and the black and white chess pieces are being rearranged.

At this moment, there are no longer Erha and Xiaoxiang in the small courtyard, and I don't know where they have gone now.

Zhao Tian's face was full of strangeness, and while retracting the black chess pieces, he looked at the old man sitting opposite, looking like he wanted to say something.

"Bang!"

Another game of Go restarted, and the old man surnamed Lu dropped a white piece on the chessboard, and there was a crisp collision sound, which was wide and far away.

As if guessing what Zhao Tian was thinking, the old man surnamed Lu suddenly smiled and said calmly:

"Don't be surprised, it's normal for me to lose.

Actually, I started learning Go yesterday, but this thing is really interesting, black and white yin and yang, heaven and earth chessboard, it can be said to be all-inclusive.

What do you think, young man?"

As if he had sensed something, there was no reason, Zhao Tian thought that his previous judgment might have been wrong, the old man in front of him was by no means an old-timer who devoted himself to cultivation and did not care about the world, his true identity and origin were like a mystery, revealing unusualness everywhere.

Nodding, he was silent, a black piece in his hand fell, and he continued to play the game of Go.

...

In front of a luxury hotel, two dark-skinned, stocky young men, carrying large bags of luggage, raised their legs and wanted to enter.

"Sorry, we don't welcome two of you here. ”

However, the two were stopped by a security guard and unceremoniously tried to drive away.

Putting down the black hoe he was carrying on his shoulder, Tao Menglong took out a crumpled note from his arms and handed it to the security guard opposite.

"We had already booked a room in this hotel. Tao Menglong explained seriously.

I took the note and opened it to see that it was indeed the hotel's phone number and two room numbers, but the security guard was still skeptical.

He looked the two of them up and down suspiciously, his eyes stayed on the two black hoes for a long time, no matter how he looked at them, the two young people in front of him did not look like they could afford to live in a luxury hotel.

found that his brother didn't seem to be able to handle it, Tao Chengjie, who was silent with a black face, had to stand up.

Finally, more than ten minutes later, after solving a series of problems with the security guard, the front desk, and the service staff, the two brothers Tao Menglong and Tao Chengjie finally lived in the room they had set.

"I said that since we are here to participate in the Wendao Conference, we shouldn't bring these things, don't we still look like Sven people!"

Throwing the big bags and small bags on the table, Tao Chengjie put the black hoe on the table casually, and collapsed on the sofa weakly, with a depressed face.

"It's okay, it's also a little bit of the old guys at home, we can't live up to it!"

Tao Menglong smiled, didn't care at all, but looked at the various furnishings in the room with great interest.

I have to say that although the room booked by the two this time is not the legendary presidential suite, all kinds of decorations are very exquisite, giving people a very tasteful feeling.

Tao Chengjie, who was lying on the sofa, rolled his eyes and complained angrily:

"That's right! I'm speechless.

Who let our ancestor be Tao Yuanming!"

In the vast wilderness, a majestic and tall ancient city is filled with the inexplicable atmosphere of time.

The people here live and work in peace and contentment, everyone is gentle and kind, the road is not forgotten, the night is not closed, and everywhere is a happy land.

"Haha!

"Wait for me!"

A group of children, mischievous and playful, chased each other past in front of Zhao Tian, leaving behind a string of joyful laughter.

Zhao Tian stood in the middle of the road and tried to look around, but his face was dazed.

"I seem to have forgotten something?

Where is this?"

He whispered to himself, the doubts in his heart getting thicker and thicker, and he always felt that something seemed wrong.

I don't know how long I roamed in this city, but finally one moment, when Zhao Tian came to a small courtyard, he saw a young man who looked seven or eight points similar to himself and an old man playing Go, and he couldn't help but be stunned.

Heaven and earth freeze at this moment, and the colors gradually fade, as if the black and white photographs of other colors have been lost.

It's terrifying!

A hint of clarity flashed in Zhao Tian's blank eyes, and he finally remembered who he was!

"What the hell is going on?"

His heart was furious, but Zhao Tian was still calm, and he wanted to do something as soon as his body moved.

However, in the next moment, the entire solidified black and white world shattered inch by inch with a click.

When he came back to his senses, Zhao Tian found that his back was soaked in cold sweat, and he couldn't help but be shocked.

At this moment, he was still sitting there, with a black and white chessboard in front of him, but the mysterious old man opposite was looking at him with a smile.

Looking at the old man's eyes as deep as the night sky, Zhao Tian's mind turned, and he quickly guessed what had just happened.

Just like when he saw the sixth grandfather playing chess with Elder Qin in the Tang family, there was an extremely profound truth between black and white, which affected his spirit.

And the old man in front of him was even more terrifying, obviously he had just learned Go, but he had made rapid progress in just a few games, and he was already a master of this way.

What's even more terrifying is that the old man actually built a virtual world through this small chessboard, which completely made Zhao Tian's spirit fall into it.

Zhao Tian estimated that if it weren't for the old man on the other side who had no intention of trapping himself, he might have broken free from that illusory spiritual world.

"What the hell is this!

With a bitter smile in his heart, Zhao Tian could only bite the bullet and continue this game of Go.

Finally, after more than ten minutes, this game of Go was completely over, although there was no problem with the spirit after that, but Zhao Tian couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief after the end.

It's scary!

I don't know when, the old man surnamed Lu has already left, Zhao Tian frowned and thought about what happened today, but there was still no gain.

But one thing he was sure of was that the old man had no ill will towards him, but more like...

Zhao Tian shook his head, looked at the sky, and found that it was already past noon before he knew it.

Mentally exhausted, Zhao Tian simply gave up his plan to go out, ate something at random, and went back to the room to sleep.

Later in the afternoon, a flying machine landed in a barracks near the city.

A group of people walked out of it with serious expressions, no one spoke, silently and quickly walked towards the vehicle that had been prepared in the distance, very depressed!

It wasn't until he got into a car that Liu Xing suddenly opened his mouth and broke the silence:

"It's been more than ten days since the Protector Divine Beast appeared here.

Is it necessary for us to continue looking here now?"

"At least so far, there is no evidence that Xiaohong and the Protector Beast have left here. ”

Duan Xue, who was sitting next to her, glanced at her boyfriend helplessly, and could only pray in her heart that she could successfully find the Protector Divine Beast this time.
