Chapter 569: The Chess Game of the Afterlife

"The deep valley on the east side of the Waiyu Peak is called 'Death Terrace'. Who would have thought that the 'Death Terrace' would be the name of a valley? That valley was the last place we looked. Hua Qingyu introduced. In the process of flying over the swamp, she had already recounted the grievances of the Zhen family to her companions in a concise and concise manner.

Regarding the mysterious master surnamed Yuan, Hua Qingyu asked Ye Linglong. Ye Linglong didn't know, she recalled Xu Yu and said: "If you want to say that the formation master of the Chixi Domain, the most famous one is, of course, the Chixi Great Emperor Ji Yuqiu, followed by my grandfather. Among the people who used to interact with our Ye family, there were indeed many who were good at formations, but grandpa had said more than once that the only people who could be called masters of formation were him and Emperor Ji. If that Yuan senior had been living in the Death Stage, with the methods of our Ye family, Grandpa would not have known about it. Grandpa once said that the owner of Zhen Zhuang of Jianlin Village is a kind-hearted person who is worthy of deep friendship, but I have never heard him mention the formation master surnamed Yuan. Among the friends who knew my grandfather, there didn't seem to be a single surnamed Yuan...... I estimate that the Yuan senior's time in the retreat of the rebirth platform should not be long. ”

"Maybe he's a very low-key guy, that's why your grandfather doesn't know. Ruan Jingsha guessed, "The masters of the hidden world almost all have a strange problem of 'hating being disturbed', and it can be seen from the seclusion he chose that his 'problem' is probably very serious." If it is known that there is a formation master living at the bottom of the valley of the Death Terrace, then the people who come to apprentice must not annoy him to death?"

Hua Qingyu also recalled what the old man surnamed Yuan had said that day, and retorted: "What you said is not right. He mentioned at the time that in the period before Zhen Tuhai's death, his own life was difficult to protect and he did not dare to show his face on the rivers and lakes. Judging from this, he should have been caught up in the grievances of the rivers and lakes, and someone was chasing him. Sister Linglong, I don't know about this, did your grandfather mention one or two?"

Ye Linglong smiled helplessly: "Grievances abound in the rivers and lakes, the relationship between the rivers and lakes is complicated, and the disputes in the rivers and lakes arise one after another, how to remember ...... clearly"

"That is, if he is chased and killed, he must be fleeing for his life all over the world, and he is not necessarily a person from the Red Domain. Besides, you have to be incognito to escape for your life, don't you? His 'Yuan' surname doesn't know if it's true or not!" Gu Wanxing said.

A thought suddenly flashed in Ye Linglong's mind, and she hurriedly asked, "Sister Qingyu, hurry up and describe to me the appearance of that master!"

"Hmm...... He is very tall, thin, his beard and hair are white, his spirit is strong, his face is ruddy, and his body is straight...... "Hua Qingyu said with a gesture.

"And what about his eyes?

"Eyes...... It's very clear, not as muddy as the old dragon clock. ”

"Oh......" Ye Linglong couldn't hide the disappointed look on her face.

"What, isn't it like your grandfather?" Hua Qingyu asked.

Ye Linglong shook her head: "My grandfather is fat, he doesn't have a beard, and he doesn't have white hair...... It seems that it should not be. ”

Gu Wanxing said: "The fat and thin, bearded hair you said is not the key, anyway, you can see him in a while, won't you know when you see it with your own eyes?"

"Actually, my grandfather...... I'm blind. Ye Linglong said melancholy, "In order to protect me, my grandfather was injured in the eye. ”

"Uh...... Then, Miss Ye can ask him, maybe he knows your grandfather's whereabouts. Gu Wanxing didn't know how to persuade him.

"Hmm!" Ye Linglong squeezed out a smile, "As long as grandpa is still alive, then someone must know his whereabouts." ”

The swamp that stretched for more than 700 miles swept swiftly below, and the four of them flew into the mountains. Hua Qingyu pointed ahead: "The gray peak in the distance is the Rain Peak." ”

The fog in the Furou Mountains was heavier than the swamps, the sky was gray, and the ground was foggy, and it was noon, but the sky and the earth were as dark as the end of dusk.

"In this way, the name 'Rain Peak' is really interesting, which means to remind you that when you get here, you have to wave your sleeves to wipe the rain. Gu Wanxing kept wiping the raindrops that fell from the clouds to his face with his sleeve. This time, he learned shrewdly. I didn't forget to take out a handkerchief and handed it to Ruan Qinsha, who was next to him side by side.

Ruan Qinsha listened to his joke, "fluttered" for a while, and happily reached out to take the handkerchief.

At this moment, a white shadow suddenly flashed in the dark clouds close in front of him, Gu Wanxing's eyes were quick, and he shouted "Be careful!" and pushed Ruan Qinsha at the same time. But he didn't have time to withdraw his hand, and was hit by the white shadow in the arm, and fell off the sword with a scream. Without the Edgeworth, Hua Qingyu and the Fairy Sword also fell together and fell into the woods.

Gu Wanxing pushed very hard, Ruan Jingsha shook it several times before she could barely stabilize the fairy sword, and Ye Linglong behind her almost fell, and the two of them broke out in a cold sweat, if Gu Wanxing hadn't reacted quickly just now, the white shadow would have collided with Ruan Jingsha head-on. Looking down, the two of them, the fairy sword, and the white shadow were nowhere to be seen, only the handkerchief slowly fell in the air.

"What was that just now?" Ruan Jingsha clutched her chest, shocked.

"It's so fast, I can't see it clearly. Don't talk about this yet, hurry down and find them!" Ye Linglong anxiously glanced at the woods.

Ruan Jingsha hurriedly whereabouts.

In the warm spring months, the woods are already very thick, and weeds and thorns cover the forest floor. This is the saddle between the two hills, and the terrain is relatively gentle.

"Hey, Flower Girl, Gu Gongzi!" Ruan Jingsha clasped her hands around her mouth and shouted loudly.

Ye Linglong hurriedly stopped: "Shhhh Entering the woods is to find people and to hide. It's good for her to open her throat and roar like this, I'm afraid that several nearby mountains can hear it clearly.

In fact, it is not difficult to find someone, in the case of a straight fall, that is, that little range. Ye Linglong glanced at it casually and found the two of them. "Well, on the branch over there!" she pointed to Ruan Jingsha. Fortunately, the altitude of the Edgeworth's flight was not high, and the two of them each held a thick branch, and it seemed that they didn't suffer anything

Injure.

Ye Linglong had just taken two steps in the direction of the tree trunk, but found that Hua Qingyu was shaking her head vigorously, and Gu Wanxing was also waving her hand frequently. "There is a situation!" Ye Linglong hurriedly pulled Ruan Jingsha to squat down and hide in the grass.

"Tong, Tong, Tong!" came the sound of heavy footsteps in the distance.

Ruan Jingsha opened her mouth wide in surprise, what was the sound of footsteps on the dirt so loud? On the tree branch, Hua Qingyu quietly held the sword in her hand and hid it behind her back.

A tall white figure appeared behind the tree. He was the one who suddenly burst out of the clouds just now! He can be said to be a human being, and he may look too strange. He was about a foot tall, with broad shoulders and a round waist, and a snow-white body. It's really "all over", whether it's skin, clothes, pants, shoes, even eyebrows, eyes, and lips are pure white. He had no hair and wore a strange round hat. The skin was smooth, and after being stained with the mountain mist, the face reflected the light. He had no weapon in his hands, and he was bare-handed. Although his steps were steady and powerful, they appeared rather stiff, as if he was deliberately "stomping his feet". His hands and feet were surprisingly large, and his clenched fists were almost up to the wine jar.

"So, what kind of monster is that?" Ruan Jingsha was very nervous, turned her head and asked Ye Linglong, her voice trembling. She had never seen anyone so white, not even the slightest blackness of his eyes, and it was this suffocating whiteness that made his body and clothes fit together, as if they had been carved.

Ye Linglong's palms were covered in cold sweat, staring intently at the white figure. The white shadow seemed to have spotted the two of them, and walked towards the hiding place of the two without hesitation.

Now that they had been discovered, Ye Linglong and Ruan Jingsha simply stood up from the grass, and the two of them stood in battle with swords in hand. The white shadow walked in front of the two and stopped, the huge figure full of oppression. Ye Linglong looked up at the giant, the giant's face did not move forward, but his eyes slanted down, staring at the two of them condescendingly.

"Who are you, and what do you want?" Ye Linglong asked.

The white giant was silent, motionless, like a sculpture.

"Don't talk nonsense with him!" Ruan Jingsha swung her sword and slashed over.

The white giant didn't dodge or dodge, and watched the fairy sword fall.

There was a crisp sound of "ding", and the white giant was unharmed. Ruan Jingsha was a little stunned, the force she used with the sword just now was not light, but it felt like it had been slashed on a hard stone, which shook the tiger's mouth. But the white giant clearly didn't wear hard things like armor. After being slashed, he was not angry, but remained silent and did not move.

Gu Wanxing and Hua Qingyu jumped down from the tree, and the four of them surrounded the white giant.

"Who the hell are you, why did you attack us?" Ye Linglong asked again.

Except for silence and silence.

Gu Wanxing rubbed his shoulders: "Actually, it's not a sneak attack, he fell down after he came out of the clouds, not towards us." To be exact, it was we who bumped into him. ”

"Even his arm was almost broken, and he still said good things for the enemy?" Ruan Jingsha said angrily, "If it wasn't for you just now, I would have to be hit on the head by him and bleed!"

"That's right. I thought it was hit on a stone," Gu Wanxing said, "This brother, are you really not wearing any treasure armor?"

The white giant has always been "deaf" and deaf.

"Hey, could he be deaf?" Ruan Jingsha thought of this, and then raised her palm and shook it in front of the white giant's eyes.

"Then what are you trying his eyes for?" Gu Wanxing couldn't cry or laugh.

"Let's see if his big eyes are blind and he turns a blind eye to a few of us!" Ruan Jingsha said. As a result, those eyes kept moving with her hands.

Hua Qingyu burst out: "He may not be human." As soon as she stretched out her hand to touch the white giant, there was a sudden loud "boom" behind her, which frightened the four of them in unison.

When they looked back, the four of them were shocked, and just a few feet away, another giant actually appeared! That giant was exactly the same as the white giant in terms of size, appearance, and attire, except for one thing that was completely different -- the new giant was completely black, ridiculously black.

Obviously, the black giant also fell from the sky, and the loud sound was the sound of him landing. A pit appeared in the ground, and the black giant stood straight in the middle of the pit.

The white giant, who had been standing for a long time, moved, and he turned around and met the black giant's eyes. However, that's all, both giants have become "sculptures".

The four of them looked at each other inexplicably for a long time, thinking of the same question in their hearts: "What are the two of them doing?"

Just when the four of them were confused, "boom", there was another loud bang, and a few feet to the right of the white giant, there was an additional companion of his. The new companion was exactly like the White Giant, a sculpture, and a sculpture carved out of the same mold.

At this time, the four of them dared to reach out and touch the giant, the giant's body was cold and slippery, and it was definitely not **.

"I think everyone should hide first, in case a giant falls again, it's not a joke to be hit. Gu Wanxing said. But no one knows where the giants will fall from and where they will hide.

Ruan Jingsha was still in a hurry: "You don't have to go anywhere, it's right next to the giants, they won't fall on top of their companions' heads, right?"

After a while, more than twenty giants had fallen from the woods one after another. After observation, the four of them found some characteristics: first, the giants fell in the order of white, black, white, and black; second, the distance between the giants seemed to have a special rule, for example, the nearest distance was about five zhang, and within these five zhang, no more giants would fall. After discovering this, several people no longer had to stand close to the giants, as long as they were within five zhang between the two adjacent giants, it was a safe area.

However, the time interval between the giant's fall is long and short, which is unpredictable. For a long time, I didn't see the giants fall for a long time, but for a short time, they were one after another.

The giant fell more and more, and when it fell, it did not move, and the four of them were bored to watch. But I don't know when this strange thing will happen

will stop.

"It's not an option to wait like this, I think I should rush out of the woods while there's a gap. Ruan Jingsha was impatient.

"I think so too. Gu Wanxing, who had just been healed by Hua Qingyu's arm, agreed.

Ye Linglong said: "Then wait for a slightly longer time interval, everyone will use their skills to rush out of the woods, and then quickly take off the sword and fly away from this mountain." ”

Unexpectedly, after the next giant landed, the group of "sculptures" moved again.

A dozen black giants took the lead, and this time it was not as simple as walking, they actually waved their huge fists and fought with several other white giants. The beaten white giant also began to fight back, both sides punched and kicked, and the "Ping Pong Pong" fight was so lively that even the surrounding trees were knocked down several times. Every punch was loud, and every kick was full of debris, but strangely, it was only these twenty or so giants who were fighting, and the other giants on the periphery remained motionless.

Under the siege of the superior black giants, the bodies of the white giants gradually crumbled, and they were really like stones, and there were more and more fragments until they were "shattered". The black giant was not "without a single casualty", and also lost two people, and several people were "injured" to varying degrees.

"Seeing that their companions were being bullied, those white giants actually stood by and watched the excitement, and they didn't go up to help!" Ruan Jingsha had forgotten the "sneak attack" that happened in the air, and instead became angry at the "dead" white giants. It's also interesting to say, because the contrast between black and white is so stark that several people take it for granted that the giants are divided into colors.

Ye Linglong laughed three times: "I guessed what's going on!"

"I know it too!" Hua Qingyu also smiled, "We strayed into this battle, we should find a way to remind us." ”

"It's easy. A moment later, Ye Linglong set up an offensive formation around the giants. No matter how hard the giant's skin was, it couldn't withstand the onslaught of the attacking formation, and the two black giants who had been "wounded" were shattered into slag.

Ruan Jingsha still didn't know, so "What are you doing here?"

Ye Linglong explained: "We are already in a huge magic circle. I just warned the people who set up the formation, and I believe they will appear soon. ”

"Them?"

Hua Qingyu said: "Haha, of course it's 'them'." How boring it would be if there was only one person who laid out this kind of magic circle!"

Ruan Jingsha looked at the smiling faces of the two of them, and felt inexplicable, until Gu Wanxing suddenly realized and exclaimed: "Hey, it turned out to be a game of hand talk!"

Sure enough, the voice of the arranger came from the air: "Who dares to destroy the 'Death Chess Game'?"

Ye Linglong said loudly: "Seniors, juniors have strayed into the chess game, please ......."

"That voice is ......" Hua Qingyu happily interrupted Ye Linglong's words and shouted, "Senior Wei Chi, it turned out to be you!

"Yu Chi?" Ye Linglong reacted instantly, the person who set up the formation was actually the Wan Ming Left Envoy of the Demon Clan's Insect Sect - Yu Chi Feng! In fact, when he was in the Wan Ming Forest, Ye Linglong had heard Yu Chifeng's voice, but at that time, Yu Chi Feng was seriously injured and weak, and his voice was quite different from his voice at this time.

"Oh? It turned out to be an acquaintance. Two figures descended through the foliage and landed in the forest. One of them was none other than Wei Chifeng. At this time, his complexion was much better. The sturdy old man with white hair next to him must be a master surnamed Yuan who is cultivating in the afterlife platform.

Ye Linglong's gaze never took off the old man, her eyes were full of tears, and her body trembled with excitement: "Master...... Grandpa!"

The old man was also very excited, stretched out his arms and shouted, "Yu'er, grandpa has finally seen you!"

Yu'er is Ye Linglong's nickname, which even Xiao Tianhe doesn't know.

The grandfather and grandson hugged each other, and Ye Linglong cried loudly: "Grandpa, why did you lose weight like this? And your hair...... Why is it all white?"

"Worried day and night, how can you not lose weight? After worrying for many years, how can your hair not be white?" Ye Yuansheng burst into tears.

"Oh, that's interesting. Yu Chifeng said with a smile.

It may take a while for the two of them to calm down. Hua Qingyu bowed his hand to Yu Chi Feng and said, "Senior Wei Chi, didn't you recuperate in Wanming Forest, how did you come here?"

"I'm a man, I can't be idle. Besides, I have been in retreat and cultivating the formation for several years, and the level of the formation has reached a bottleneck, so I don't want to study the formation anymore in the near future. But just staying in the forest to recuperate is too boring. No, I heard that there is a formation master here, so I came to him to learn from him. ”

Hua Qingyu pursed her lips and smiled: "Is that a competition? ”

Yu Chifeng said: "Don't underestimate this game of chess, the two of us take the rain peak as the center, and each place a chess game in eight directions, holding four games of black and white hands, and playing eight games of chess at the same time! Besides, this game is also different from ordinary Go, and it is necessary to have a chess game to kill the child! The child who is eaten does not necessarily 'die' happily, and the son of the siege does not necessarily 'retreat from the whole body', which contains complex variables, and the battle of the driving force can all rely on the skill of the formation. You don't know, it's a lot more fun than staying in the forest to recuperate!"

"Eight games of chess!" Hua Qingyu exclaimed, "Then can your demon power support it?"

Wei Chifeng looked at Ye Yuansheng: "It's all Brother Yuan, by the way, it should be said that it's 'Brother Ye', it's all up to him to set up a chessboard array, and I just need to take care of the chess pieces I make, although it consumes some demon power, but it's okay." It just so happens that I am on the same level as Brother Ye's chess skills, and we have been fighting for more than three months in this game of chess, and we still haven't decided the winner. In fact, we knew it as soon as you entered the battle today, but I thought that the misguided entrant would be scared away after seeing the black and white chess pieces, who knew that you had the audacity to destroy my two black pieces, heh!"

Hua Qingyu apologized: "Sorry for disturbing the chess of the two seniors, but we came to find Senior Ye for important matters." ”

Ruan Jingsha and Gu Wanxing also saluted Wei Chifeng. When they heard about his identity, the two became more respectful.

Yu Chifeng saw that the emotions of the ancestors and grandchildren over there were a little calmer, so he smiled and said, "Brother Ye, you have to thank me well!"
