Chapter 968 Game
The words of the old woman Zihuo made people a little confused about her thoughts, Nan Songzi frowned, and said nothing, as if she was not interested in the Yao Immortal Hall at all.
"How about you and I make a bet? Win this Yaoshan and let the people of your Yuehe Sect search, and even my old guy can lead everyone to exit this place and never step into it again, but if you lose, you must help the old man open the prohibition on the door of the Yaoxian Palace, this deal, whether you win or lose, you have nothing to lose." ”
There was a ghostly light flickering in the cloudy eyes of the old woman of Purple Fire, and she looked at Nan Songzi and said unhurriedly.
Nan Songzi hesitated for a moment and asked softly, "How to bet?"
When he asked, the seeping smile on the face of the old woman of Zihuo resurfaced, and she raised her hand and flicked her fingers forward, and saw black and white lines outlined vertically and horizontally in the void, and in a blink of an eye, a chessboard was formed.
didn't stop, as the old woman Zihuo's withered fingers connected the dots, the black and white light spots on the chessboard flickered, quickly filling the vacancy on the chessboard, that is, counting the time, the originally empty chessboard covered one hundred and eighty-eight chess pieces, half black and half white.
"This endgame is the old body from an ancient chess game rubbing, it seems ordinary, in fact, it is a step by step killing machine, black and white wins and loses five or five each, but if you take a wrong step, you will fall into the situation of nine deaths and one life, Nan Songzi, do you dare to play a game with the old body?"
Nan Songzi's eyes fell on the chessboard, roughly swept it, and did not see anything strange, it was not that his chess skills were not good, but that this endgame was indeed ordinary at first glance.
You must know that as a grandmaster-level figure of the formation ban, in addition to studying the formation ban, he will also study the chess art on weekdays, although the two are not necessarily connected, but the chess art can open up people's logical thinking, making the arrangement of the forbidden formation more thoughtful.
can enter the Tao with a ban, Nan Songzi's chess skills are not to say that they are at the peak, but they are also at the master level, the old woman of Zihuo proposed a game, and she really has some meaning of playing a big knife in front of Guan Gong, but she can cultivate to this point, her mind is already like a demon, how can she do a loss-making business.
Nan Songzi's eyes were hesitant, thinking about what the old woman of Zihuo was doing, but she heard Su Zhen pointing to the chessboard and saying.
"Uncle Shi, this endgame is a bit weird, you see these chess pieces are connected together, a bit of the shadow of ancient prohibition, and this chess piece, that is the central node, if we move this chess piece, then the other chess pieces will move with it, and the endgame will immediately change greatly, from dead chess to live chess. ”
Su Zhen has traveled abroad all the year round, and he has a deep fortune, and he has accidentally learned many ancient forbidden formations, and even ancient prohibitions, such as the ancient eight forbidden forbidden voids that crushed the old man with red eyebrows before.
Looking at the endgame in front of him, the more Su Zhen looked at it, the more he felt a bit of the meaning of the ancient prohibition, and quickly deduced various moves in his mind, only to find out in the end that this endgame was not fixed, at most five steps, at least one step, it could make a big change in the situation.
Nan Songzi narrowed his eyes slightly, listened to Su Zhen's words, and went to observe them carefully, and sure enough, in his mind, those seemingly unrelated chess pieces were put together, and there were dozens of changes, and the original ordinary endgame was instantly transformed into a dangerous situation of killing step by step.
"How about it?Nan Songzi, do you dare to play a game against the old man?"
Everyone didn't expect that in this short moment, the situation turned around all of a sudden, it was originally Su Zhen's three questions, inviting the old man with red eyebrows, but now it was the old woman of Zihuo who asked two questions and invited Nan Songzi to play.
Although the latter was just playing chess, because of the identities and cultivation of the two, everyone inside and outside Yaocheng couldn't help but get nervous.
"Haha...... , why don't you dare!" Nan Songzi didn't think too much, and directly raised his head and laughed, and responded.
This kind of extreme self-confidence, no matter what tricks you play, I will catch it when it comes.
There was a gleam in the eyes of the old woman of Zihuo, and the whole person seemed to be more than ten years younger, and said in a low voice: "Okay, then let Daoyou Zhibai go first, how about it?"
"No, let's be fair. Nan Songzi spoke indifferently, and then raised his right hand to a boulder that rolled down from the mountain in the distance, and suddenly the boulder was torn apart and shattered into pieces of rubble the size of a chess piece, black and white.
Nan Songzi and the old woman of Zihuo shot at the same time, and as soon as they flicked their sleeves at those gravels at will, hundreds of gravels were ingested.
The two looked at each other, the old woman of Zihuo opened her palm first, revealing a round and black gravel, Nan Songzi smiled slightly, spread out her right palm, and took a closer look, just eleven stones.
The old woman of Zihuo's face suddenly sank, pinched the stones, and said in a low voice: "That is the case, the old body is black, and the Taoist friends should go first." ”
Nan Songzi relied on guessing first to get the first opportunity, so naturally he would not be polite, his eyes swept across the chessboard several times, and he was not in a hurry to fall, but closed his eyes and fell into contemplation.
This kind of endgame is unpredictable, and it often has the impact of deciding the outcome of the first hand, so it should not be hasty.
Of course, the old lady of Zihuo also knew this, so she didn't mean to rush it, and also closed her eyes and thought about it.
Time passed slowly, and in a blink of an eye, half an hour had passed, Nan Songzi had not left the first son for a long time, not that he didn't want to, but that he didn't have absolute certainty, in his mind, he had deduced more than 800 ways to move, at most three steps at a time, he would inevitably face variables, and this variable did not count the fall of the old woman of Zihuo, so people really didn't know how to choose.
Another half an hour has passed, and everyone in Yaocheng has long lost the nervous mood just now, some yawn and look drowsy, some whisper to each other, and some staring intently at the chessboard hanging in the sky, thoughtful.
At this moment, Nan Songzi finally opened his eyes, his eyes showed decisiveness, and he stretched out his hand to the chessboard, and saw a flash of light on an empty seat on the chessboard, and a white dot suddenly appeared.
"Interesting. The old woman of Zihuo slowly opened her eyes, looked at the white child that Nan Songzi had just fallen, and whispered hoarsely.
Her gaze swept across the endgame several times, and there seemed to be purple flames jumping in her eyes, and soon she pointed out that a sunspot fell on the chessboard.
At the moment when the sunspot fell, the spiritual light on the chessboard flickered continuously, and it seemed that everything was as usual, but those lines were strangely staggered, and the black and white chess pieces seemed to be alive, shifting and transforming, and in the blink of an eye, the situation had changed greatly.
Nan Songzi's expression was quite calm, his dark pupils reflected the step by step of the change of the chess pieces, this time he didn't think too long, and waited for the chess game to be completely still, raised his hand a little higher, and then landed a white piece.
The purple fire old woman's cloudy eyes suddenly showed a bright light, nodded and said slowly.
"It turned out that he had seen through the changes in the first three steps of the chess game, and he was worthy of the ban on entering the Tao, and he was able to push it to this point in just one hour, and the old man admired it. ”
As soon as she finished speaking, her fingertips moved, and a sunspot fell on the chessboard, and then, the chess game was unpredictable, and soon it was different from just now, but Nan Songzi's gestures did not stop, and when the chess game was still changing, the third son fell directly.
The old woman of the purple fire pulled her face, and a hoarse laugh like a stone rubbing came out of her mouth, which was extremely harsh, and the third sunspot fell at the same time.
Seeing through the three-step change is already the limit, which involves countless deductions and calculations, especially the position of each step of the old lady of Zihuo, which is indescribably difficult.
At this moment, the monks who know the art of chess and the prohibition are all at a loss, and they don't know the law of change in the chess game at all, and they only feel that every step of the way, no matter where they go, it is a dead end.
And those who don't understand, let alone those who don't understand, are completely like reading the book of heaven, and don't understand the danger of the gods fighting.
Nan Songzi swept the chess game at a glance, kept it firmly in his heart, and closed his eyes again to deduce.
This time it took three hours, and he still only saw through three steps, and he fell steadily, and the old woman Zihuo seemed to have expected every step of Nan Songzi, followed by the sunspot.
After these three steps, the situation is so complex that even Su Zhen can't understand it, you know, this is not a simple game, it also involves ancient prohibitions.
Nan Songzi's expression gradually became no longer calm, but solemn, he closed his eyes again, and there seemed to be countless figures falling in his mind, and every time he fell, the figures would dissipate, representing that this was a dead end.
Time flickered, and eight hours had passed, plus the previous time, this game of chess had been played for a whole day unconsciously, and the two of them had lost six sons each.
It can be seen that the complexity and difficulty of this game of residual chess, coupled with the fact that the old lady Zihuo has studied this residual chess for many years, the deduction of various paths must be more in-depth than that of Nan Songzi, so she doesn't need to think too much about it, but the further she goes, the more it changes, and the old woman Zihuo gradually fell into contemplation and began to feel struggling.
At this moment, none of them noticed that a group of three people came to Yaocheng, and except for a woman wearing a white gauze hat at the back, the other two were all stunning enough to fascinate all beings.
The two men, a man and a woman, walked side by side on the slightly empty street, looking hurried, their eyes sweeping around, as if they were looking for something.
It was in Wutai that they received the news and rushed to Xiao Qingyun and his party.
"Hmph, I think you're too worried, that boy Qiao is very capable, has many means, and is even more bold, even I am not sure to take him down, this is just a scattered city, how can someone be his opponent. ”
As he was walking, the woman wearing a white gauze hat at the back suddenly snorted coldly, and a cold voice came out.
Xiao Qingyun was extremely worried about Qiao Yuan on the way here, but for some reason, after coming to this Yaocheng, he was not so worried, at this moment he had a charming smile on the corner of his mouth, and turned to say to Lian Yue, who was wearing a white gauze hat and covering his true face.
"You have a high opinion of my little brother, no wonder you want to rush to push your beautiful apprentice to him, it's a pity...... What a pity!"
"What is a pity?" "Rei Yue's eyebrows, hidden under the white veil, furrowed slightly, and asked in a cold voice.
"It's a pity that my little brother doesn't know how to enjoy the blessings of Qi people. ”
The corners of Xiao Qingyun's mouth hooked up a wicked smile, and as he spoke, he first took Nangong Yuxuan's little hand on the side, then paused again, and stretched out his left hand towards Lianyue, wanting to pull her jade hand.
"Shameless!" Lian Yue's cold eyes flashed with murderous intent, and she snorted coldly, and took a step back to avoid it.
Nangong Yuxuan's face turned red, she bit her lip and lowered her head, and said with some shyness: "Senior Brother Yun, how can you be like this?"
"Just kidding. Xiao Qingyun showed a doting smile on his face, first scratched Nangong Yuxuan's cute little qiong's nose, and then looked at Lianyue before speaking.
"Isn't it interesting to be with an interesting and handsome man like me every day, don't deny it, you see you don't shoot directly now. ”
With Lianyue's character, how could anyone dare to speak to her like this before, let alone move her hands and feet, if it had been a few months ago, she would have slapped Xiao Qingyun to death without hesitation.
But after this period of getting along, she found that every time she did it, not only could she not get a bargain, but she was also eaten tofu by Xiao Qingyun many times, so that now that Xiao Qingyun took advantage of some mouths, she scolded and gritted her teeth and endured it.
Slowly, Lianyue unconsciously changed a lot, which she didn't even notice herself, for example, whenever something happened, she had to ridicule Xiao Qingyun with words, which was in the past, she would never move her mouth if she could do it.
Lianyue's entire delicate body was trembling by Xiao Qingyun's words, she clenched her silver teeth, and shouted angrily: "If the deity can beat you, in this life and this life, you will be better off than dead." ”
When Xiao Qingyun heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he said with a gentle and affectionate expression: "In this life and this life, do you want to be with me in this life and this life?"
Lianyue's real name is Jiang Wanlian, this name was only called by her master back then, and now that Xiao Qingyun called out, Lianyue's whole person seemed to be about to collapse, the anger in her heart erupted, and she couldn't suppress it anymore, a coercion in the early stage of the soul suddenly burst out, from under her feet, the thick ice began to condense, and in the blink of an eye, this street was completely frozen, including the pedestrians on the road and the birds in the sky.
This change suddenly drew everyone's attention from the Nan Songzi and the Zihuo old woman who were playing at the foot of Yaoshan Mountain.
At the north gate of Yaocheng, the faces of countless people changed greatly, and when they looked back, Su Zhen, Lian Jingshan, Ling Ruyuan, and others were also shocked, and Nan Songzi immediately opened his eyes, his brows furrowed into a Chuanzi, and his gaze fell to the position of Yaocheng South.
The purple fire old woman's stiff back also stood up suddenly, her face was solemn, and she looked at Yaocheng, her heart shook.
"Xiao Qingyun, you give me death!"
A woman's voice that was so cold that it pierced the bone marrow suddenly echoed throughout Yaocheng, but when I saw a cold light rising into the sky and hanging on the top of Yaocheng, it was still noon, and everyone seemed to see a bright moon rising into the sky.
The light emitted by the bright moon made everyone's whole body tremble, and the cultivation in the body actually showed signs of solidification, and the weak cultivator was directly frozen into an ice sculpture.
"Senior Sister ......"
Nan Songzi couldn't help but shudder, his eyes widened, revealing incredulity, although he knew that Lianyue had a bad temper, it was the first time he saw her so angry, and at the same time, he wondered in his heart, how could she come to this Yaocheng.
