The chess game of this last level is obviously not too simple, although Lin Yan is not sure about the comparison, but since he has come to this point, he can only bite the bullet.

He sat on the stone slab in front of the chessboard, and the nineteen vertical and horizontal lines formed this square chessboard, with black and white chess pieces on both sides, and then he was going to use this chess game to play a game against the legend of the trick of the year.

The first step in Go is to guess first, that is, one side will grab a number of white pieces at will, and the other side will guess odd and even, and now it is impossible to let Gong Lose himself here, so Lin Yan can only guess odd and even.

A trap arm appeared on the side of the chessboard, and then grabbed a handful of white pieces from the white chess box, and after thinking for a while, Lin Yan put down a black piece on the chessboard. The arm of the mechanism is spread out, and there are a total of nine white seeds inside, which is exactly an odd number.

Lin Yan took black first, which was a small advantage, but the real victory was just beginning, and even if he could continue to expand this advantage, he would need to subsidize White three and three-quarters of the discs at the end of the game, which means that black must have far more than half of the discs to win.

Under the rules, no matter who comes first, it is generally fair for both parties.

Before the chessboard, Lin Yan started the game with the predecessor of the Gong, and as time went by, there were fewer and fewer blacks on the chessboard, and more and more whites.

There is a basic rule in Go, that is, if there is qi, you will live, and if you have no qi, you will die.

At this moment, the sunspots are like the soldiers who are trapped in the enemy's formation, there is no food and grass, the back road is cut off, and it seems that there is only one way left.

On this small chessboard, there is too little room for Kuroko to toss and turn, and Lin Yan's brows are getting deeper and deeper, from the beginning he has adopted a defensive strategy after the defeat of the attack, and this is also the choice of most people in this situation, but the effect is not satisfactory.

At the beginning, the defense could still achieve a certain effect, and even reach the level of competing with Baizi at a certain moment, but as time went by, the situation got worse and worse, and later, it was almost cornered.

At this time, the voice of the public defeat came again: "Can you admit defeat? ”

Lin Yan shook his head and said, "Don't admit it!" ”

Joke! Since his debut, he has never given up halfway, even if he will lose in the end, he must lose with dignity, and he must not flee in a hurry like a defeated general.

The voice of the public lost continued: "Life is like this chess game, since you have reached a desperate situation, why not try to compromise, maybe it will be bright? ”

Lin Yan smiled and said, "Senior, to be honest, the younger generation really knows a little bit about this game of Go. However, maybe my personality is more stubborn, and I believe that one thing is to follow through! ”

"As you say, compromise may be an easy approach for most people, and perhaps it will turn the corner. However, this road does not work with me! ”

"For example, a county official who is upright but has no background catches a young evil who is forced to be a prostitute, kills people and sets fires, but the background behind the evil young is very large, if the county official turns a blind eye to it, he can rise to prominence, for some people, this may be the most rational and easiest choice!"

"But if he insists on judging the evil, then in the end, things may not be done, and he will lose his veil or even his life!"

"He chose to compromise, and what might greet him was a road to heaven; And once he chooses the persistence in his heart, then what awaits him will be a thorny road from which there is no turning back! ”

"I don't know if you can understand this, after all, it's not the predecessor himself here at the moment. I just want to say that I will not be comfortable compromising, that is not my way! ”

Looking at the chessboard at this moment, Bai Zi has occupied almost all the space, and in this absolute dead game, Lin Yan and his son fell, and Heizi blocked Bai Zi's last breath eye.

In an instant, the sunspot who was already a dead end was revived, this is the real "hand of God"!

After a pause, the voice of the public loser came again: "You have passed!" ”

Lin Yan was stunned when he heard this, he didn't expect that he would break the death situation brought to him by mistake, he was ready to find a way to rush out of here once the test failed, after all, he couldn't really fold here.

There was a flash of light on the chessboard, and then an illusory light and shadow appeared, it was a lean old man, his eyes were bright, and his heart was full of wisdom, as if he could see through people's hearts.

Appearing here, needless to say, Lin Yan has already guessed his identity, it should be the senior who lost the gong!

The old man said: "The world calls the old man 'Gong Lose', and later generations, I didn't expect that the years are long, and finally someone can reach here, it seems that the old man's inheritance has not yet reached the time of severance!" ”

"Chess is broad and profound, but people live in this world after all, they can't just be limited to the chessboard, and judge the victory or defeat with the black and white between these square inches, you can do this, it's very good!"

Lin Yan bowed, in fact, he didn't think about too complicated things in his heart just now, but his experience along the way and his adherence to the knife told him that he couldn't retreat, and sometimes he couldn't give in an inch, once he had the first compromise, the next thing would be infinitely poisonous!

He remembered Feng Lao's words: "Although there are tens of millions of people, I will go!" ”

Even if the road ahead is difficult, he must persevere, so that he will not lose himself. What's more, Lin Yan still has Qiu Lao, Feng Lao, Li Zongsheng and other teacher friends, as well as Ming Ya, he is not alone!

The illusory shadow of the public lost spoke: "Later, I sensed a familiar aura in you. ”

The phantom stretched out his finger and lightly touched the air, and then an invisible force emanated, and something flew out of Lin Yan's small cloth pocket, which was the bronze little beast Mu Mu.

The phantom of the public loss smiled and said: "I didn't expect to see you again, maybe this is fate!" ”

He continued to speak: "Later generations, it is also your chance that you can get it, and the nine divine birds left by the old man to guard the Fusang Sacred Tree can all be controlled through it. This scroll records some of the old man's opinions on the trick, so I'll give them to you! ”

As the words fell, the chessboard suddenly recessed, and then a dark grid rose with an old scroll, made of the skin of some beast.

Lin Yan turned it over, and his pupils shrank suddenly, this scroll is the inheritance that countless people dream of - "The Book of Instruments"!

He bowed and said solemnly: "Thank you seniors!" ”

With the help of this "Book of Instruments" and the Divine Bird, he has more hole cards in the face of the catastrophe, and the certainty of being able to spend it safely is a little more.

The figure of the public loss gradually dissipated, and finally turned into a point of light and disappeared, leaving only a faint voice to come: "Later people, keep yourself, don't forget your original intention, go!" ”

The surrounding scene changed for a while, and after a trance, it became stable again, and at this time, Lin Yan returned to the big tree again, and his palm still maintained the posture of imprinting on the tree.

"Is this a dream of Nanke? Is what just happened real or unreal? No one could answer Lin Yan to these questions.

He withdrew his palm, only to find a sparkling turquoise seed lying quietly in the palm of his hand.

"This is ...... 'Otogi no Spirit'?" Although he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, Lin Yan could feel the extremely strong vitality from the green seed in his hand, and it was easy to guess its origin.

At this time, the woman on the side spoke, "It seems that you have successfully passed the test and obtained the 'Otogi Essence'." ”

After receiving the woman's confirmation, Lin Yan also had a trace of joy in her heart, after all, the purpose of her trip was finally achieved. If you can successfully advance with the help of this "Otogi Essence", then you can truly have the power to protect the people you care about in the catastrophe.

Even if his combat power is extraordinary, he also feels great pressure when facing the powerhouses of the realm of heaven and man, and there is a certain truth in people saying that "there are ants under heaven and man"!

Lin Yan suddenly thought of something, and said, "If I take this 'Otogi Essence', will it cause damage to the Divine Tree Fusang?" ”

I heard what the woman said before, part of the reason why Gongyi put the "Essence of Otogi" here was to restore the vitality of the sacred tree Fuso, and if he took it rashly, would it affect some of the layout of Gongyi.

The woman said, "It's okay! Today, the Fuso Sacred Tree has basically returned to normal, and it does not need the continuous nourishment of the 'Otogi Spirit'. This space has its own domain, and you can rest assured that you can absorb and refine here. ”

Lin Yan nodded, he was not so hypocritical, since the other party had already said that it was okay, then the top priority was to refine it first, and then use this to break through!

Cross-legged under the big tree, Lin Yan swallowed the green seed into his stomach and began to refine his exercises.

……

There are no years in cultivation, time flies in a hurry, and in the blink of an eye, it has been more than three months.

On this day, Lin Yan, who was sitting cross-legged, opened his eyes suddenly, and a majestic aura suddenly burst out, soaring into the sky.

"After all, can't you cross that threshold?" Lin Yan stood up and slowly clenched his fists, feeling the strength in his body that was already countless times stronger, and felt a little regretful.

But he was soon relieved, it was already appalling that he had relied on the "Essence of Otogi" to reach such a point in such a short period of time, and he had to know how to be a man!

At this time, Lin Yan had directly crossed the late stage of the Innate Realm and reached the realm of the Great Perfection of the Innate Realm. In fact, it's still not accurate to say this, if you want to talk about pure strength, he can actually surpass some half-step Heaven and Human Realm powerhouses, combined with the means he has, the actual combat effectiveness may be even stronger!

It's just that compared to the martial artists of the realm of heaven and man, Lin Yan lacked some understanding after all, so he couldn't use this to cross that threshold and truly enter the realm of heaven and man!

However, Lin Yan was not entangled, in addition to the accumulation of years of martial arts, it was a flash of inspiration. Buddhism also has the saying that "an epiphany under the Bodhi tree", maybe when you will be able to think through and break through in one fell swoop!

Lin Yan saluted the woman next to the tree and said, "Senior, since this matter is over, the junior is leaving!" ”

The woman nodded slightly, and then said, "There is one more thing I need your help with." ”

Lin Yan said: "It doesn't hurt for the seniors to say, as long as they can do it, the younger generations will not refuse!" ”

The woman said: "The people of the Sea Clan respect the Divine Tree Fusang, in fact, from the root point of view, it is because they are the descendants of the Divine Tree, and they have a lot of relationship with me. ”

"The Divine Tree gives birth to grass and trees, and the exercises of this vein are especially suitable for women's cultivation, which is the mark of inheritance in the bloodline. It's just that the Sea Clan has been declining over the years, and there is not even a descendant with pure blood in the clan. ”

"There is a good clansman this time, I want to ask you to teach her the exercises of my clan, and it can be regarded as not letting the inheritance of this vein be cut off."

Lin Yan arched his hand and said: "The younger generation understands!" ”

At this time, he finally figured out why the clansmen in the villages and towns who communicated with the Divine Tree were all women, it turned out that this was because the ancestor of the clan had left an imprint from the bloodline, and the witch doctor was just an introduction, and what really determined the ability to communicate with the Divine Tree was the purity of the bloodline in the body of the Sea Clan.

The woman stretched out her finger, and a memory appeared in Lin Yan's mind, which was the exercise that the woman wanted to inherit.

Because of the restriction of the bloodline, he is not worried about Lin Yan stealing school, even if he sees it, it is difficult for him to practice.

Lin Yan himself didn't have this idea, this time it was just "entrusted by others, loyal to people", and it could be regarded as a love for the guidance of this woman before!

He said goodbye to the woman, and then stepped out, and when he reappeared, he had already reached the outside of the sacred tree, and the three divine birds were still in place, but there was no hostility in the eyes that looked at Lin Yan at this time.

Lin Yan summoned the bronze beast Mu Mu, stretched out his hand and pointed at the three divine birds not far away, and asked, "Mu Mu, can you control them now?" ”

Mu Mu tilted his head, as if thinking, and then nodded.

Lin Yan was overjoyed and said, "Then call them over, we should go out too!" ”

As the bronze beast gently raised its claws, the three divine birds naturally flapped their wings and flew in front of Lin Yan, not as fierce as before, with a well-behaved appearance that had been tamed.

Lin Yan stepped on the back of one of the divine birds, and then said, "Let's go!" ”

The bird fluttered its wings and flew towards the exit, leaving traces of strong winds on the sea......

In the Divine Tree Fusang, the woman looked at Lin Yan's departing figure and said to herself: "Perhaps, this young man is the variable!" ”

Her gaze seemed to penetrate the space, shooting straight out of the sky, and said, "The catastrophe is coming, and it's almost time to be born!" ”

……

Although Lin Yan did not have the lightning strike tree in his hand as the key to open the spatial crack, he could enter and exit the space at will after obtaining the "Otogi Essence".

It's just that the month that they agreed with the witch doctor has now passed more than three months, and the other party may not be waiting here.

Lin Yan walked out of the Divine Tree space alone and left the Divine Bird in it, after all, such a huge mechanism creation would undoubtedly cause a shock if it was taken out at will, and it still had to be taken out at a critical moment to play an unexpected role!

Moreover, with Mu Mu by his side, no matter how far away he is, he can easily summon the Divine Bird to come, so there is no need to bring it with him all the time.

He stepped on the sea, looked at the vast sea, and sighed in his heart: "How should I go back next?" ”
