Qian Qingjian originally planned to go early and leave early, as long as he found Zhang Zhongjian's cave, even if he completed the things entrusted to him by Li Tianran, and then left as soon as possible, so that Yuan Chengzhi could not find them, he could alleviate the incident. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

If this matter can be delayed until the beginning of next year, when Li Zicheng's troops burn and rape and plunder, these two thousand taels of gold will not be a problem. Although there are a few people in the Huashan faction who act recklessly, they will never be willing to be such a lackey of the king.

In addition, he really needs Zheng Zhilong to follow him into the mountain, just because although the area of this Rotten Ke Mountain is not large, it also has a radius of more than 3,000 acres, and it is always faster for many people to find that cave than him alone.

Although Zheng Sen was dissatisfied, in the end, Zheng Zhilong still obeyed Qian Qingjian's wishes and accompanied him into the mountain. Ever since he met Qian Qingjian at sea, Zheng Zhilong has held the idea that this person must be a great talent, and has accommodated him again and again, how can he be angry for a meal?

Zheng Zhilong got up and followed, but Zheng Sen said that he had no intention of entering the mountain, at this time it was already sunset and twilight, and he didn't know what to do in the mountain, did he feed the mosquitoes when he was full?

Unexpectedly, Qian Qingjian said: "You don't want to go into the mountain, but you can't stay in Jingyan Town and wait for us, there is a Shiliang Town on the other side of the mountain, you all go there." ”

"Why?" Zheng Sen was already furious. The subtext is that you are the oldest, why should you interfere with my actions?

Zheng Zhilong looked at Qian Qingjian, and then at his son, he didn't know what to say, but he heard Qian Qingjian say: "I don't have time to explain to you, it's up to you whether you go or not." Then he turned and went into the mountains.

Zheng Zhilong sighed and said, "Fusong, it's not for you to go up to the Sword Mountain and go down to the sea of fire, what if you change towns to rest? ”

It was difficult to disobey his father's order, Zheng Sen had no choice but to obey his fate, but he was not convinced: "If he is really reasonable, what will he do if he goes up the sword mountain and goes down to the sea of fire? The child is not the person who is greedy for life and afraid of death, but he is ......."

"Okay, okay, you guys, follow me to accompany Mr. Qian into the mountain. Zheng Zhilong knew that his son was right, but it was not good to point out that Qian Qingjian was not in front of his subordinates.

Rotten Keshan, also known as the stone room. According to legend, it is the root of Chinese Go. In later generations, many modern countries have used "Rotten Ke" as a synonym for Go, and even Chinese chess is also associated with it, and the famous chess score "Rotten Ke Shenji" is a powerful example.

Qian Qingjian had never been to Langke Mountain before, and this time he was commissioned by Li Tianran, but it was not the first time he had heard of this mountain in Li Tianran's mouth. When he was in the fairy world, Mrs. Li San once gave him the thirty-six caves and seventy-two blessed lands in the mortal world, and he wrote them down and knew that Rotten Keshan was ranked eighth in the cave heavens.

This time, on the waterway, when he asked the boatman surnamed Wang about this mountain, the boatman told him some legends about the Langke Mountain.

The first legend says that the woodcutter Wang Zhen of the Jin Dynasty went into the mountains to collect wood, and when he saw two immortals playing chess, he stopped to watch the battle. When the game was over, he looked back and found that the axe handle he was carrying was rotten, and he hurried home, only to see that his home had long been completely changed, and he knew that the world had passed a hundred years. Later, I learned that the two immortals who played chess were Red Songzi and Red Whisker, and after an epiphany, they returned to the mountains and became immortals. The original meaning of Rotten Ke is the meaning of the rotten handle of the axe, from which the name of Rotten Keshan comes from.

The second legend is that another woodcutter in the Tang Dynasty, unknown name, entered the mountain and found that the two of them were playing chess here, and after stopping to watch a game, he returned home and found that he was already an old dragon clock, and his family seemed to be the same as when he entered the mountain, and his family did not know him anymore, until the comparison of various past events was correct, they recognized each other, and the family was afraid to cry, saying why only one meal of kung fu, you have become like this? Later, some people said that the two people who played chess were Tie Guan Li and Lu Dongbin, who practiced the fairy road here. And because this woodcutter had done evil things, he was robbed of his life by Xianshan as a punishment.

This second legend is completely consistent with the story told by Li Tianran, who once said that the reason why his master Qiu Bearded Ke came to settle in Lankeshan was to find Tie Guan Li and Lu Dongbin to compete, just because they had won the battle at sea in the first place. But the bearded guest seems to have come a step too late, since he settled in Lang Keshan, he has never met Tie Guan Li, Lu Dongbin and others, but has heard some legends about Li Lu and others, saying that they have succeeded in cultivating immortals and have soared to the immortal realm.

The magical legends render the Rotten Ke Mountain extremely mysterious, and these legends are passed down from generation to generation by the people near and far, but those who have done evil things such as cheating, abduction, and stealing, do not dare to step into this mountain in their lives.

Qian Qingjian walked into the mountain with the support of a pirate, he was blind on the outside, but in fact, it was a martial soul to open the way, and he was covered by a martial soul, and he was also worried about himself in his heart, and he thought that he had done a lot of things in this life, although the fundamental purpose was not to harm people, but after all, it was not done by a righteous gentleman, and I don't know if this fairy mountain would punish him.

As if to confirm his shame, that is, the so-called fear of something, as soon as he entered the mountain, he immediately felt abnormal, his heart was huge, and he pushed the robber who was holding him to a stumbling side.

There was no warning of this change, everyone was stunned, and Zheng Zhilong even asked, "Mr. Qian, what's wrong with you?"

But I saw that Lao Qian's face was solemn, his lips were closed, as if he was listening to something, and at this time, there were only summer insects chirping and mosquitoes and flies buzzing in the mountains, so what other sounds could there be?

Everyone is puzzled, just because they are not Qian Qingjian.

What did Lao Qian feel? He felt that there was an infinite pressure slowly pressing towards him, and this pressure came from the mountains and rocks, from the grass and trees, from the sky, and from the surrounding space.

This pressure is like gathering thousands of martial arts masters from the past and present on his body, and at the same time sending him a terrifying palm, this boundless palm power is not fast, but there is no way to deal with it, no way to disassemble, no to resist!

He didn't have time to answer Zheng Zhilong's question, but he was shouting aggrieved in his heart, this immortal mountain is really unusual, but these pirates around him are all people with blood on their hands, why is this mountain only attacking me?

The power that is enough to crush everything in the world is getting closer and closer, such a situation, there is no escape, despair gradually occupies his heart, is this the real immortal mana, is this the highest power in the world?

Remorse ensued. The universe is so big that there are no surprises, and the former self was too arrogant to think that the magic power of the immortals was not enough. I even think that there is no danger on this earth and I can do anything about it, can I say that it is only because I have always despised the gods that I have been punished like this?

I don't want to, I don't have time to explore these causes and effects anymore, he spends his last life remembering every wife.

Beautiful faces flashed in his mind, well, I just hope that in this last career, let me remember my woman again, and not leave a single one behind......

In the last moments, his state of mind became extremely relaxed, extremely natural, extremely open, without joy, anger, sorrow, sorrow, and fear, only peace.

Suddenly, his mind was combined with his martial soul, and the martial soul's perception and insight became extremely clear, and he found that one meter in front of him on the right, there was actually a vacuum space!

The so-called vacuum here is not that there is no air in the usual sense, but that the space seems to be free from pressure!

The instinct to survive made him think about it, and he lifted his right foot and took a diagonal step towards the safe space, but he found that the space disappeared immediately, and the outstretched leg had no place to stay.

Trick me? Qian Qingjian was angry and angry, if he wanted to kill, he would kill, Lao Tzu had lived for hundreds of years and could be regarded as earning, so why did he play me?

Anger was born, but the martial soul sensed that there was a similar space in front of the left, this time he didn't have time to retract his right leg, and directly kicked his right leg horizontally, kicking towards that space, one is to fight for speed, and the other is also out of anger, I let you play me, I will kick you!

Unexpectedly, this step was kicked out, and it really kicked into that space, he entered with his right foot, followed with his left foot, and the whole person entered this space.

At this moment, the martial soul could clearly feel that the place where he was standing just now had been crushed into a void by the boundless pressure, and it seemed that even the air had been squeezed out, which ...... What kind of demon is this? It's so weird!

At this time, the night had fallen, and in the haze, Zheng Zhilong and the others were all puzzled, what kind of mystery was this blind man playing, playing tai chi? It was not like ah, he didn't have any movement in his hand, only dangled his right leg for a long time before taking a step, but it was almost like sleepwalking.

Then they saw Qian Qingjian move a step to the left and asked, "Are you all okay?"

Zheng Zhilong couldn't cry or laugh, and replied: "Of course we're all fine, but, Mr. Qian, what are you doing?"

Qian Qingjian had just gained a moment of respite, and was about to make up some reason to explain his behavior, but suddenly felt that the overwhelming pressure hit again, and the safe space he had just found was no longer safe, so he suddenly couldn't speak, and concentrated all his energy in the martial soul to perceive the space of existence.

Fate always seemed to give him a chance to live, and space appeared a third time behind his right back, and this time, he tried three times before retreating to safety with his right leg.

After this clumsy escape, he seemed to understand something, the pressure between heaven and earth did not seem to take his life, but forced him to perceive a strange law, what is this law?

After several dodges and retreats, he finally realized that this law was actually a kind of Shinno's footwork and body technique!

In the tossing and turning of this footwork and body style, his martial soul became more sensitive, his thinking became more keen, and he finally realized that at this time, he was using this footwork to dodge the pressure that was enough to destroy everything step by step, as if he was fighting a fierce game of Chinese chess with this mountain, stone and forest!

The earth is a plate, he and the mountains and rocks and trees around him are all chess pieces, he sometimes advances like a pawn, sometimes he tramples in all directions like a war horse, and sometimes he rampages like a chariot.

In his understanding, he seemed to see the vast array of mountains and seas in the ancient wilderness, and he seemed to see the fierce battle and strangulation between the alien arrays. Suddenly, those armor, chariots, and horses slaughtered themselves again.

This chess game is very peculiar! The opponent's side will have all kinds of rooks and horses, and although he is alone, he can pretend to be a chariot and horse commander to deal with it, and when he attacks, he will be a chariot and horse pawn, and if he moves, he will be the commander of the army.

In this chessboard-like battle array, or rather, in this chessboard-like battle array, he became more and more proficient, and the more he walked, the more confident he became, and he no longer had to fear the danger of being squeezed and killed.

It's just that when will this game of chess end?

PS: According to legend, Chinese chess originated from Shun, and there were no three kinds of chess pieces before the Song Dynasty: "Shi", "Xiang" and "Cannon".
