……

The peaks and peaks are stacked, and the clear water is like a mirror.

The mountains with clouds exposed are suspended in clusters like islands, from south to north, from west to east, and they do not know their distance or depth.

To the east, there is the highest mountain, and from a distance you can only see a knife-like dome, carrying milky white mist and sunlight.

This mountain peak is Tianguang Peak.

The master of words lives here.

On Tianguang Peak, walking along a winding and rugged path, Xu Mu and Jiuxian came to a house embedded in a mountain cliff.

The wooden door was hidden, and under the eaves, the wine fairy turned around and whispered to Xu Mu:

"You wait a minute, I'll go in and see what Senior Brother is doing."

Xu Mu nodded, did not speak, as the wine fairy entered the door, soon there was a subtle sound of speech from inside, one was old, the other could not hear the age, and there was no tone when he spoke, but just listening to this voice, Xu Mu's head automatically appeared in the image of a Taoist sitting on the nine heavens, clear as jade, holding an immortal whisk.

He is the elder brother of the wine fairy.

Xu Mu stood under the eaves and lost his mind, then suddenly came back to his senses, and quickly turned his back to prevent himself from hearing the conversation in the house.

Turn your back and you'll see the cliff.

The waterfall rushed down, the roar of the earth cracking filled Xu Mu's ears, and there was a crane flying between the clouds, and there seemed to be someone riding on it, and before disappearing, he suddenly turned his head and looked at this side.

Xu Mu bowed his head in silence.

Came to the Taoist Temple for three days, this is already what he has encountered, I don't know how many domain masters it is, in the Baiyun Taoist Temple, this kind of Five Realms monks seem to be everywhere.

The old way that can make the wine fairy call his uncle has also met no less than three, and these three are not on the list.

This means that the foundation of the Baiyun Taoist Temple is far more powerful than what they show, and among these endless green mountains, I don't know how many Taoists above the Five Realms are hidden.

In front of these people, he was as weak as an ant, and now that this ant was going to meet a Taoist priest who was more powerful than those people, he began to get nervous for the first time.

In the world, there may be tens of thousands of domain masters, and there may be more than 100 half-step human kings, but there are only nine human kings.

These nine human kings determine the pattern of power in the world and check and balance each other, but not long ago, there was another human king in the Baiyun Taoist Temple, which shocked the world and made many forces such as the Demon Exterminator and the Golden Horde Court jealous.

Now, that human king is in the house in front of him, and he is looking for Xu Mu by name, but Xu Mu doesn't know what the other party wants to do with him, but he has heard that his computing power is amazing, and he can calculate the birth of the holy relic across half of the continent, and calculate that words will become his apprentice, so the wine fairy will go to the domain of the strange night.

So Xu Mu didn't know if the other party had calculated his secrets, such as Charles hiding in the Holy City, such as his heart, and the gray pupils that lived in retreat in his mind.

These were his biggest secrets, and no one knew about them except himself, but Xu Mu didn't dare to guarantee that the one in the room didn't know.

"Come in."

After thinking for a long time, the conversation in the room ended, and the wine fairy pushed open the door and looked at Xu Mu with a tired face, as if he had suffered some kind of torture.

"Whatever the senior brother asks you, you can say anything, don't lie."

Hearing the wine fairy's words, Xu Mu couldn't help but smile bitterly and nodded, and then walked into the hut apprehensively.

"Crunch—"

The wooden door was gently closed, Xu Mu walked into this simple room, took three steps forward, and soon saw a cloth curtain.

Behind the curtain, there seemed to be a figure sitting in front of a futon, not knowing what to do.

"Come in."

Just as Xu Mu hesitated to open the curtain and walk in, there was a calm sound behind the curtain, so he took a deep breath and walked in with his legs raised.

Then, he saw a man of Gao Dao with crane hair coiled and a clean smell all over his body, sitting cross-legged on a futon, looking at the chessboard in front of him and thinking.

On the opposite side of the chessboard, there is also a futon.

"Sit."

When the Taoist fell, he spit out a word, so Xu Mu understood, took off his shoes and sat opposite the Taoist nervously.

The Taoist did not speak, but concentrated on playing chess.

There was no imaginary bloody storm, Xu Mu slowly regained his composure, and then he also paid attention to the chessboard, and found that the Taoist played Go, one step to hold black, one step to hold white, but the strange thing is that white chess has an absolute advantage, although it did not eat many black chess, but it has become a situation of encirclement and gathering, and it is a matter of time before he wins.

Xu Mu knew that he played chess with himself, and his chess strength was equal, and there would never be such a chess game, and the only possibility was that before he came, the black chess was played by someone else.

There is no one else but the Brewmaster.

Xu Mu couldn't help but be dumbfounded, when he cultivated to the level of a wine immortal, his computing power was almost on par with the balance, but he was still defeated by this Dao person in such a short period of time, so how strong is this Dao person's computing power?

"Checkmate." After a moment of silence, the Taoist suddenly spoke, his brows furrowed slightly, he looked up at Xu Mu and asked, "Within three moves, the black chess will lose." ”

"If it were you, where would you do it next?" Hearing this, Xu Mu looked at the chessboard in front of him, and after analyzing the situation for a short time, he found that although black was behind, it was not a game of death, at least he thought that he could not die within three moves.

But where's the next?

Xu Mu thought for a long time, and then said:

"If it were me, I wouldn't do it."

"Because I won't choose to play chess with you at all, I won't win."

When the Taoist heard this, he didn't speak, but silently threw the white chess pieces in his hand back into the pot.

Xu Mu sat opposite, a little apprehensive, he didn't know if there would be anything wrong with his answer like this, but he said it, and it could only be like this.

The Taoist put away the chess scales, shook his sleeves, looked at Xu Mu indifferently and said:

"Looking for you, there are three things."

"First of all, I want to know your background, who your parents are, and where you were born."

When Xu Mu heard this, he shook his head with a wry smile: "I guess you also know that I am an orphan who has been abandoned in Daxi Mountain since I was a child, if I hadn't been rescued by Wu Kui from Fengqing Village, I would have died a long time ago, how could I know who my parents were." ”

"It's just that even you can't count my background?"

Xu Mu asked a little stunned, he had always been curious about his background, but he couldn't find it, firstly because of his lack of ability, and secondly, because he didn't have time.

But he didn't expect that even the king of Baiyun Dao Temple, who had the computing power of the sky, couldn't find it.

After listening to Xu Mu's answer, the Taoist was silent for a moment, and then looked at Xu Mu and said:

"It doesn't hurt to tell you, I've actually figured it out."

"Western Continent, Holy See, when that Pope raised the scepter of God and tore the canopy of heaven, you were born in that square."

"So I suspect that you are the son of the Pope."
