Chapter 59: Fighting with Demons (Part II)
Towering and stretching for miles of snow-white peaks, the four-color flag dancing wildly against the wind in the sky.
This is the Western Great Xia Chess Palace.
The Chess Palace has always been sparsely populated, dominating a vast territory, with a vast territory of thousands of miles, and the environment in the western frontier is harsh, and there are many fierce beasts. And this ancient organization, which is older than the history of the three holy places, is really not a human being, but a great demon who has cultivated to the extreme.
If demonic characters are used to describe the peerless young geniuses among human cultivators, then those children in the Western Xia Chess Palace who have gone deep into Jian are the real demons.
Born as a demon, practice to become evil.
These real demons reside on the eight-foot mountain, the highest peak of the Chess Palace.
Since the Fengting City Sword Drinking Party, the nine great chess princes of Western Xia have been killed by the white-robed vassal king, and four vacant seats have been vacated at this moment, and many young chess princes are vying to take away the vacant position of the big chess princes, and they are intriguing with each other, but they are hindered by the rules of the chess palace and cannot kill each other.
While the reincarnation of those big demons has not yet come, the competition for the position of the big chess prince has become more and more intense.
And under the turbulent undercurrent, there was an edict from the Chess Palace, ordering all the young chess princes to come to the Four Holy Palaces as soon as possible.
The Four Holy Palaces on the Eight Feet Mountain are brightly lit and bright as day.
Stacked figures appeared behind the screen of the main hall, reflecting a blurred appearance.
Inside the main hall, it is extremely peaceful.
A figure stood quietly behind the screen, his face uncertain.
He silently listened to the voices of the five great chess players outside the screen.
The four saints enshrined on the eight-foot mountain are the great demons who have been in the world since ancient times.
And in this life, the heavenly atmosphere came, and the four great demons successively chose the reincarnation, wanting to rule the earth.
It's a pity that the conditions for successful reincarnation are too harsh, if you want to save the step of cultivating into a human form, you must choose the container of being born as a human being, in addition, you must also be strong enough to withstand the reincarnation intention of the big demon, and before the big demon awakens, the reincarnated person can practice to "that step" alone.
"Shangguan Dragon Elephant ......"
The young man with an uncertain face whispered the name he had heard for the first time, subconsciously put him and Xuanwu together, and then crossed a place in his mind, the list of the four saints.
In the main hall, the voice of a big chess prince was low: "Shangguan Longxiang has an accident." ”
The big chess prince had a gloomy face and said: "He went to Luoyang on this trip, and originally planned to fight by war, but it seemed that he met an unexpected person, and he was forced to awaken the Xuanwu body in advance and reincarnate early. ”
"Waking up early isn't a bad thing. The big chess master squinted, looked at the young chess masters behind the screen around him one by one, and then said, "But just now, he crushed the teleportation scroll. ”
Everyone was stunned at first.
Then several incredible voices came from the main hall, and immediately became noisy.
The young man with an uncertain face was slightly stunned at first, and then a little confused.
He subconsciously touched the ancient sheepskin scroll in his arms, recalling the strange expressions of those old monsters when he first entered the chess palace, when he handed him the scroll.
As everyone knows, the old palace master of the Chess Palace has already surpassed the nine grades, and the feat of the empty city of Fengting City in an instant happened to come from the hands of this old man.
How terrifying is it to drag the entire space within a radius of several miles of Wind Court City with one hand?
And the teleportation scroll that this old man left for the Chess Palace with his own hands contains the terrifying domain intent in terms of space, which is enough to cross the void, break the rules, and rescue people from the place of death.
Such a precious teleportation scroll, even if the young chess masters who live on the eight-foot mountain, as a life-saving use, each person only has one scroll.
It cannot be used unless it is a life-and-death crisis.
The real demon reincarnated by Xuanwu, Shangguan Dragon Elephant.
Crushed a teleportation scroll?
The voice of the old chess man above the main hall followed.
"And that scroll...... Something went wrong. ”
The slightly confused young man raised his head and looked through the screen.
"What went wrong with that scroll is unknown. Da Qigong paused and said slowly: "Xuanwu's current location should be in the Northland. And one thing is certain, he was seriously injured, and the soul of the reincarnated host Shangguan Dragon Elephant suffered great trauma, and it was not far from falling. ”
The big chess master moved his gaze to all the young chess masters present.
They were hidden behind the screen, already holding their breath.
"You ...... If you want to win the position of a big chess player, it is nothing more than for better cultivation resources. The big chess master, who was already a little rickety, said softly: "If you can gain the favor of Xuanwu and reshape your body after reincarnation, you will directly become a real demon, which is countless times stronger than the false name of a mere big chess master." ”
"Shangguan Dragon Elephant is destined to fall. He coughed slightly, and his voice was low: "If any of you find him, bring this body of the little King Kong back to the Chess Palace." ”
The old man said and paused slightly: "Chess Palace, there is a reward." ”
After the old man left.
Behind the screen came a cacophony of voices: a voice as shrill as a pin, a deep roar, strange and even beastly sounds.
The hall is full of monsters!
At the moment, they were talking in their own language.
These monsters have been cultivated into human shapes, but they still retain some of the characteristics of demon beasts, or the third vertical pupil, or the bloodthirsty sharp teeth, or the iron blue complexion, when they whisper, their eyes wander slightly, but they stay on a person from time to time.
This action still stayed at the young man who was stroking the scroll in his arms through the placket of his clothes, and his face was complicated, feeling the coldness, contempt, and serenity contained in these gazes.
In the wrong box.
They were born as human beings, and they were born as demons.
And the most important point, his cultivation is too low, walking in the chess palace is like walking on thin ice, if it is not for the rules of the chess palace not to kill each other, I am afraid that when he drives his horse to the foot of the eight-foot mountain, he has already become the mouth and stomach of these humanoid monsters.
There was a sudden silence in the hall.
These monsters subconsciously silenced and cast their eyes on a figure in unison.
There is awe, greed, undisguised admiration and fascination in these eyes.
A soft voice came from the place where he looked.
"The surname is Gu. ”
Gu Shengcheng subconsciously returned his face to a calm appearance, turned his head, and looked at the woman with a strange temperament but who was also a human being.
Wearing a plain white wide robe on the ground, this woman was born like a lotus flower, not stained with red dust, not vulgar or charming, with a crescent moon mark on her eyebrows, and her eyes as clear and moving as a pool of water.
The four killers of the younger generation of the chess palace.
Translucent.
Qiushui glanced at Gu Shengcheng slightly, and saw Gu Shengcheng's subconscious action of covering up his broken fingers, and said slightly: "The surname Gu, if you want to make a splash, you might as well go to the Northland, if you can bring back that little King Kong physique, then there will naturally be a place for you in the chess palace." ”
Gu Shengcheng looked at Qiushui.
Then he turned around and looked at the monsters that had cultivated in human form all over the hall.
He saw the salivating appearance of these monsters when they looked at Qiushui, and saw Qiushui's silent expression.
It seems to recall the expressions of these young chess masters when they look at themselves, which are different from when they look at Qiushui, but they are also the same.
Gu Shengcheng smiled softly, then shook his head.
"Northland?"
Gu Shengcheng slowly left the main hall, and his voice was cold: "If Gu leaves Bachi Mountain today, I'm afraid he will already be a dead man." ”
After leaving the main hall, Gu Shengcheng did not go anywhere else.
He went to the top of the Eight Feet Mountain, his own pavilion of Shaoqigong.
Standing at the top of the pavilion, Gu Shengcheng silently squatted down and lowered his head.
In front of you is the top of the snow-white peak, July is still cold, the wind and snow in the west are not as good as in the north, but there are a little more frozen bones.
Gu Shengcheng stretched out the five fingers of his left hand, looked at the snow scene under the snow-white mountain top through the end of his tail finger, and laughed at himself, the wind was too cold, maybe it was the reason why he broke his finger?
Then a sudden sound came from the air.
"The surname is Gu!"
The autumn water swept to the eaves of the pavilion, gritted his teeth and said to the man who spread his five fingers and admired the snow scene: "You are really greedy for life and afraid of death!"
Gu Shengcheng ignored her and lay down on his back lazily.
He was already accustomed to a person's life, even if he entered the chess palace and was excluded and suppressed everywhere, he didn't feel uncomfortable at all. On the contrary, it is this annoying woman who pesters herself every day, never ignores her, and always jumps away in anger, and always comes back the next day, every day, never bored.
Qiushui was unusual, instead of chattering like the sun, he found a place next to Gu Shengcheng, brushed away the snow, gathered his robe, and squatted down.
She said softly, "This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, if you have the heart to grasp it, I will escort you to the Northlands, and if you encounter danger, you can crush my scroll to escape." ”
Gu Shengcheng was slightly stunned and turned his head to look at this woman.
Qiushui said lightly: "There are few demons in the chess palace, so they just support each other." ”
Gu Shengcheng still said coldly: "I don't want to go to the Northland, I'm not interested." ”
Qiushui finally couldn't hold it back, and said slightly angrily: "Do you know how difficult it is to survive in the Chess Palace? Can the false name of a young chess man keep you for a while, and can it keep you for a lifetime? Once those old monsters wake up, what is the difference between a young chess man with an empty name and no cultivation and those ants under the mountain?"
Gu Shengcheng sighed, simply closed his eyes and ignored the woman.
"Gu Shengcheng!"
Qiushui said word by word: "You haven't thought about competing with those demons?!"
Compete with demons?
The young man lying on his back on the roof slowly opened his eyes.
His expression was a little complicated.
It seemed to flash the figure of the young man who summoned three thousand soul swords from Wind Court City.
That person appeared in Luoyang.
Could it be him who forced out the Xuanwu body?
Then Gu Shengcheng shook his head fiercely in his heart, and couldn't help laughing at himself.
It's only been a few dozen days since we last met, and a person who doesn't know how to cultivate, no matter how talented or desperate he is, can't reach that step.
Gu Shengcheng said calmly: "I thought about it before. ”
Qiushui watched as the man stretched out his right hand and stroked the severed finger of his left hand.
This man, who was once like a mad dog, seems to have been worn out in the days of the Chess Palace, and only the depression remains.
He closed his eyes and said softly, "Now, I just want to survive." ”
