Chapter 29: The Battle of the Chu River

Piaoranzi walked in one direction and walked firmly. There is hope ahead, as long as you get out of the valley, find someone to ask for the path.

After he walked for a long time, he knew that his hope was about to be disappointed, and he saw two old men playing chess, an old Taoist priest, one with a red flame on his head, and looked up, on the cliffs on both sides, one side was a faint hole, and on the other side was a god and Buddha meditating with his eyes closed, with a red light on his head.

Piaoranzi sat on the ground weakly, and it seemed that the two old men had not lied to themselves. That's how it can be good.

Yes, he went out of the stream again! As soon as he jumped into the stream, he did not feel cold at all, but his body was too light, and he floated on the surface of the water and flowed down the stream.

I don't know how much I have passed, but there is no sign of going out. Suddenly, he vaguely saw two old men playing chess on the shore, hurriedly jumped out of the water, ran over, dared to open his mouth to ask for directions, and stopped - these two old men were the same two old men just now.

Piaoranzi looked up at the sky, gray, yes, along the cliff, fly up, there must be a way out. After thinking about it, he really began to climb the cliff, and with the divine light of the two eyes and the fluttering body of the Yin God, it was not difficult to climb the cliff and jump over the cliff.

With the strength of nine oxen and two tigers, he finally climbed to the top of the cliff, and he could see the grass above, and he was so happy that he jumped and slammed, and his body seemed to hit the iron plate, and he fell down into the deep ravine.

This time, I still fell next to the two old men, and the fall hurt a little.

"This young man, why is he so desperate? Let you play chess with me, you have to go out hard, what's the good of going out!" The old man with a fire on his head, his eyes not looking at the drifting, talked to himself while playing chess.

"Otherwise, say some kind words to the two old men and beg them to show them the way. Piao Ranzi thought about it, and came to the two old men: "Two old gentlemen, it's time to give a salute in the late life." ”

"Of course you are a late child, how about it, you can't get out by land, water and air, and you have come to beg us?" The old man with a fire on his head said.

"Yes, please also ask the two old gentlemen to show the way. Piao Ranzi clenched his fists and said.

"There is no road on the ground, but when there are more people walking, it becomes a road. The old Taoist priest smiled.

"Yes, there is no road in the world, and when there are many people who think about it, there is a road. The Flame Old Man laughed.

"You don't want to learn from others. Young man, who is your surname, where is your home, where did you come from, where are you going, why are you here?" asked the old Taoist priest.

"Hey, hey, why did he sue you?" said the flame old man.

"Because I can show him the way, can you?"

"I can't, how can you show him the way?"

"It's none of your business, young man, you haven't answered yet. The old Taoist priest smiled.

"Back to the old man, in Xia Chu Piaoran, the family lives in Nanzhan Buzhou Shuicheng Mansion, in the Pure Land of Bliss for a thousand years, today I want to go home, I entered the ancient cave, I can't find a way out, and I ask the old gentleman to make it clear. Piao Ranzi replied.

"Okay, I heard that the Pure Land of Bliss is a good place, why do you still want to go back?" the old Taoist priest asked.

"I was deceived by Amitabha, he let me live for a thousand days, who knew that he turned one day there into a year in the world, which is equivalent to a thousand years for me to live, I know the truth, of course I want to go back!"

"You only have this yin soul body left, it seems that you have suffered a catastrophe, do you recognize the god and Buddha on the cliff?" the old Taoist priest pointed upward.

"I don't know. Piao Ranzi's eyes shot a fine light, looked at it, and replied.

"Okay, I can show you the way out, but there is a premise, you play chess with me, when you win me, when I sue you. The old Taoist priest stroked his snow-white beard and said with a smile.

"Hey, hey, hey, you old man, aren't you embarrassed?!" shouted the old man of the flames. "With my old man's chess skills, he hasn't beaten you for more than a thousand years, how can he beat you?"

"I'm tired of your stinky chess. If it weren't for you pestering me every day, I wouldn't have bothered to take care of you. The old Taoist priest smiled. "How's it going, young man. ”

Piao Ranzi looked at the chessboard, they played chess, and their best game was Go, but there was no other way today but to give it a try.

"Yes, as long as I win a game against you, right?" said Piaoranzi.

"Yes. ”

"You can't go back. ”

"Poor Dao will never go back. ”

"Okay, you play red and move first. ”

"You are a guest, and you are a descendant, and the poor road will let you go first. ”

"Then thank you, juniors go first, you can't regret losing!"

"I said yes, I will never go back. The old Taoist priest smiled. Watching Piao Ranzi arch the seven road pawns, come to a "fairy guide the way" to start, nod, he is like flying in the middle palace, Piao Ranzi comes to a cannon two into three.

"Young man, the beginning is unconventional and unexpected, but the lone army is deep, and the follow-up is missing, which is a taboo. The old Taoist priest jumped up the screen horse, and the fluttering son arched the three-way pawn, completely suppressing the black chess.

"Okay, good, young man, this chess game is relieved to watch, how many games Lao Dao has won me, I didn't expect to go like this, it doesn't matter if you win or not, first suppress Lao Dao's arrogance for me, I'll be happy!"

"This is just the beginning, young man, which game are yours? The old Taoist priest frowned.

"Old man, this is my family's chess game, haven't you heard of it?" Piao Ranzi took a few more steps, completely suppressing the old black chess pieces in his own territory, looking domineering.

"The Wu family's chess score? Forgive the old and lonely and unheard, maybe it was created by a master in the past thousand years. The old Taoist priest calmly dealt with it, step by step, and gradually defused Piao Ranzi's fierce offensive.

Piao Ranzi wanted to succeed in a battle, decide the winner in one game, and defeat him, so that he could tell him his way out, so he attacked step by step and made all kinds of killing moves.

However, the old Taoist priest dealt with it calmly, always turning the danger into a disaster, not only was he surprised, but even the old man of the flame who was watching the chess on the side sighed, regretted, and sometimes couldn't wait for guidance.

At the end of the game, the old Taoist priest said while stacking chess: "Young man, your chess path is rushing to attack, and it is the biggest drawback that you have more than enough to attack and not enough to defend. ”

Piao Ranzi also stacked chess pieces, he lost this game, otherwise, he wouldn't have used to code chess pieces.

"Just now, the old man's trick was too powerful, it should be called Ming Xiu Plank Road Darkness Chen Cang. I only cared about guarding against your left chariot and horse, and I didn't see the double artillery sneak attack from the right side, miscalculated, miscalculated. After Piao Ranzi finished speaking, he played the second set, this time learning the lessons of the previous game, combining offense and defense, and playing steadily.

In the middle of the game, the old Taoist priest suddenly changed his steady chess style, used carts and horse artillery, combined strong attacks, broke through the defense line, and approached the middle palace, so that Piaoranzi, who was still fighting on the front line, could not be transferred back, so he had to obediently admit defeat.

"Young man, work hard! you have won this old way, give me a breath!" the old man of the flame patted Piao Ranzi on the shoulder, he felt extremely uncomfortable, and the fire was burning.

"Young man, you are full of energy!" said the flame old man in surprise. "You, the body of the Yin God, are full of strength, and the body you show is not inferior to the body of the Yang God. ”

"Looking at the essence light coming out of his eyes, it must have been nourished by treasures and absorbed some essence qi. Isn't that right?" the old Taoist priest asked.

"Yes, it's time for you to go!" Piao Ranzi secretly struggled in his heart, this game must be won. However, it backfired, this time, the old Taoist priest came to lure the enemy deeper, annihilated the invading enemy, and then counterattacked in a big way, killing the old handsome who was drifting, and it was good to play a game.

In this way, game after game, I don't know how many games have been played, and Piaoranzi has lost and won.

"Rest for a moment, young man, and think about it. The old Taoist priest smiled. "Your chess move, you have to beat him," the old Taoist priest pointed at the flame old man.

"You old fool," the old man of the flame disagreed. "There were a few games where I saw that he had a hope of winning, how did you turn defeat into victory after three turns and two turns?!"

"Mountain people have unpredictable opportunities. The old Taoist priest smiled.

After dozens of games of chess, dizzy and swollen, he came to the stream, picked up water, washed his face, and cleared his mind a little.

He looked at the misty sky, and saw the god and Buddha on the cliff, still meditating, playing chess with them by the stream at the bottom of the cliff, and ignored them. If it weren't for the red halo on his head, Piaozi would have thought it was a stone statue.

Suddenly, he had a flash of inspiration, hurriedly immersed his head in the stream, and then shook it, this time he was completely sober, there were a few games just now, and he could win him, but he was led by his nose to lose. This time, I must think of a foolproof strategy, win a game against him, ask for the path, and hurry down the mountain.
