Chapter 120: The Flower of Withered
"Otherwise, I'll die for you." ”
Sounds like a joke.
But at this time, Gu Shengcheng understood that Yi Xiao was by no means joking.
If fate doesn't give you a chance to choose, there is always the right to choose, which he can't take away.
When Gu Shengcheng was cornered on the eight-foot mountain, he also thought about dying, and he did so.
So when a person is cornered and has no choice......
He could choose to die.
So Gu Shengcheng knew very well what Yi Xiao was thinking at this time.
He stood in the darkness and slowly withdrew his hand, and the yin wind in the aisle blew from outside the tomb, driving the bloody breath of the corpse of the pond fish, blowing his dark robe and sweeping forward.
Yi Xiao stared at Gu Shengcheng.
Time slows down and freezes at this moment.
Gu Shengcheng wanted to "kill" Yi Xiao, but it was not such a way to die.
He wanted to take away this hairpin, take away Yi Xiao's last reliance, and let him endure pain and torture in a tomb, and finally the soul sea collapsed and became a walking corpse like a wood devil.
But before he can do this, he needs Yi Xiao's lotus phase.
So when this hairpin, in a suicidal gesture, was held in Yi Xiao's hand, the scene returned to a short-term balance.
Yin Wind Hunt.
This balance won't be long.
Gu Shengcheng knew that if the sword qi of this hairpin returned, then he would bear the brunt of it as a "corpse" under Li Changge's sword qi, and he had already sat firmly on the winning side, and he would never allow the scales to tilt.
So he calmly said, "You only have a short time. Don't try to drag this hairpin until the sword qi returns, I won't give you this chance. ”
Yi Xiao smiled, he held the hairpin's left hand, and did not relax his strength a little because of Gu Shengcheng's words, but clenched it tighter, the fingertips of his right hand shrunk into his sleeve, constantly trembling, but his left hand was extremely stable, and the hairpin was pressed against the front of his neck, and the sharp front was faintly inserted into the skin.
Yi Xiao knew that her time was short.
As Gu Shengcheng said, he really wanted to drag the sword qi of the hairpin back, but he also knew very well that Gu Shengcheng would not give himself this opportunity.
If the time is almost up, then he would rather shoot.
So this opportunity to negotiate is precious.
Yi Xiao said weakly: "Since you have a way to crack it, why bother so much." ”
Gu Shengcheng in the dark said: "Deduction." ”
Yi Xiao lowered his eyebrows, and heard him say calmly: "It takes a lot of deduction, and I can do it alone, but the cost is very high." ”
Yi Xiao chuckled lowly.
Price...... It's huge.
He somewhat understood what Gu Shengcheng meant.
The so-called price is very high, in this tomb, the most precious thing is soul power, and a large amount of deduction, for Gu Shengcheng, the soul power that needs to be consumed is incomparably huge and irreparable, if it fails, it means that the biggest reliance is lost-
In this tomb, what is most needed is soul power.
The stability of the sea of souls.
At least, with Yi Xiao and Gu Shengcheng both alive, both sides need to ensure that they will "live" a little longer than the other party.
If you can't leave here, you will also see the other party's soul sea collapse first.
No wonder his fingers kept hanging over the board, but he kept holding back the impulse.
"It doesn't take a thousand years, a hundred years to break this chess game...... Not even for a year. ”
Yi Xiao gently repeated Gu Shengcheng's words, and said with a smile: "I understand what you mean...... Dry up and fish, if you don't succeed, you will become benevolent. If it fails, the soul sea can't bear such a huge loss, and it collapses, of course, it doesn't need a year, life or death, once...... That's enough. ”
Gu Shengcheng stood in the dark, looking at Yi Xiao, thinking of many complicated thoughts in his heart, but his expression did not show anything, he was silent for a short time, and gently spit out two words: "Yes." ”
Yi Xiao suddenly smiled.
"So you need a lotus. ”
"You need me to deduce it for you. ”
Yi Xiao leaned against the stone wall, and his right hand, which was shrunk in his sleeve, slowly rested on the stone wall, making his body look more stable.
He faced Gu Shengcheng, and his speed of speech gradually increased.
"How to break the game of mind-reading...... It takes a lot of deduction, a lot of calculations, you can do it, which shows that even if there is no lotus phase, I can do it, so the effect of the lotus phase is ...... It's nothing more than a better way to calculate. ”
"What if my soul sea collapses?
Yi Xiao suddenly paused and said, "You will be forced to use the so-called game method, even if you can't bear the huge attrition, so that the soul sea collapses, right?"
Gu Shengcheng looked at Yi Xiao calmly.
The wind condensed in the tomb became stronger and stronger, scraping from the stone wall in the distance, and the wind slowly intensified.
The black robe kept sweeping and falling.
"I've been thinking about a question while you're here. Yi Xiao said softly: "If you want to deal with the heirs of the mind-reading phase, what is the way?"
On the chess scale, if you can perceive people's hearts, what else is invincible?
The inheritor of mind reading is born to be the king on the chess scale.
"I've been thinking about this question for a long time, but I've never found an answer. ”
"I want to thank you for giving me a hint and allowing me to find the answer. ”
His Royal Highness pursed his lips.
He thought about those excellent chess players, Qi Liang, Northern Wei, the Eight Great Countries, and the South China Sea...... in this world, or elsewhere.
Bai Qi, Shen Zhixian, Qiu Jiwen, Yuan Daobing, the four great chess masters in Fengting City.
They're powerful, and there's something more powerful than them.
And how powerful it is.
But none of them are the opponents of Gongzi Xiaotao.
Because they're human after all.
As long as you are human, you will have your own ideas.
By the time mind-reading reads your thoughts, you've already lost.
How can you win against an opponent who knows everything about you?
Yi Xiao said softly: "The answer is very simple. ”
Gu Shengcheng stood in the dark, his eyes flashing with a complicated expression, like a slight emotion, relief, or some relief.
He looked at Yi Xiao and said, "The answer has always been so simple. ”
Yi Xiao chuckled under her breath.
In his mind, on the chess scale, the really invincible ones are not those great chess players who have spent their lives studying chess.
Even those great chess masters, when they were young, were already famous all over the world and extremely talented, and in the long years since, they have taken the study of chess as their lifelong goal, and worked tirelessly, and at the end of their lives, they have only reached the highest line of their own life level.
Their lives are limited.
The variations of the game are endless.
Countless great chess masters wanted to worship under the Nanhai Chess Saint, to seek a longer lifespan, to follow higher chess attainments, and there were almost no accidents, but they were all rejected by the Chess Saint.
Because the accumulation of what they do, boring and useless.
Wrong direction.
Even with infinite life, they would not be able to reach the higher level of chess.
In front of the mind-reading phase, these big chess players are just puppets who control the line and fail, and there is no suspense in the ending.
But it's a pity that Yi Xiao never thought that the most powerful thing on the chess scale was the inheritor of mind reading.
"I should have thought of it a long time ago...... he looked at Gu Shengcheng and said with emotion: "Is the mind-reading person very powerful, compared to the 'dog'?"
Gu Shengcheng couldn't understand what Yi Xiao said.
He frowned, not knowing what Yi Xiao meant by "dog".
Yi Xiao laughed to himself, his eyes burst out with the brilliance of enlightenment, he clearly understood that in that situation, the victory of those great chess masters might be higher than that of the mind readers.
And he has a lotus phase that can be deduced, which stores countless chess games, killing methods, and royal sons......
Yi Xiao laughed at herself and said, "It turns out that I am a dog." ”
He thought about it, raised his head, looked at Gu Shengcheng, and said, "But where can I compare to a dog now?"
Gu Shengcheng's brows kept frowning, he stared at Yi Xiao, not quite understanding the meaning of Yi Xiao's next few words, and then his pupils slowly shrank.
Yi Xiao, who was holding on to the stone wall with one hand, was covered in blood, some of them were other people's, and some of his own, because his limbs were in a state of weakness, he kept trying his best, causing him to tremble slightly, and even some of him was unstable on his feet.
There was a crisp sound smashing down.
Behind Yi Xiao's mind, a small soul pool appeared.
The soul pool, the bottom of the pool has been broken, cracked, on the eight-foot mountain, after overdrawing a huge amount of soul power, the entire lotus pond, the pool water has begun to decrease, and in the end, there is no longer a trace left.
A dry pond with no water in the slightest.
And that lotus flower, which was supposed to be a holy dharma in full bloom, withered at this moment, and the rhizome was pitch black, climbing like ink.
Yi Xiao smiled brightly.
"I figured out something. ”
"So I don't want to die, I want to live. ”
His Royal Highness held the stone wall, holding the hand of the hairpin, which was still very stable, and he said seriously: "The way to break the chess game of mind reading, even if you don't say it, I can think of it for a long time in the future." ”
Gu Shengcheng looked at him quietly.
Yi Xiao paused slightly.
"You say fate is unfair. Some people are born with a bad idea, some have no choice, and some are cornered. ”
"But at least...... Here, my fate and yours are fair. ”
In the broken lotus pond, the lotus flowers shook gently.
He didn't look back and said softly, "I only have one 'withered flower' left, and I'm almost out of breath, so I don't have an advantage that can give me an easy lead in this game......"
Gu Shengcheng stood at the only exit of the cave, and he looked at Yi Xiao silently.
A strong wind is coming.
Sword Qi came from afar.
Gu Shengcheng was ready to make a move.
Yi Xiao, whose back was not far from the chessboard, faced Gu Shengcheng and asked a question.
"That's fair, isn't it?"
After saying this, Yi Xiao suddenly retreated, and the whole person was like a flying bird, smashing on the void chessboard-
Gu Shengcheng stood in front of the only exit from the cave and never spoke.
The lotus robe was strangled into ashes by the chessboard of nothingness.
Yi Xiao, who was forced to a dead end, resolutely jumped out alone.
Then blood splattered at the mouth of the tomb.
Gu Shengcheng stood calmly and indifferently, watching countless sword qi roll in, flying away, rumbling like thunder, stirring around the top of the tomb, and finally stabilizing in one direction.
Gu Shengcheng replaced Yi Xiao's entrance.
He stepped forward, stood in front of the void chessboard, watched the heavenly light of the Heavenly Gate fly by, and finally, I don't know if it was a coincidence or deliberately, at his diagonal, a weak lotus-clothed figure slowly walked out.
Yi Xiao stood against the stone wall.
His soul sea, after the "death" just now, has lost a part of his soul power, and his physical body has no more power.
He looked at Gu Shengcheng.
Gu Shengcheng was also looking at him.
Between the two is the coffin of the Heavenly Gate.
There was an eternal dead silence in the cemetery.
Someone suddenly said, "Yes." That's fair. ”
