Walking out of the wooden house, Ye Haotian saw the three Confucians walking by the lake at a glance, so he hurriedly stepped forward and greeted: "Good morning, old gentleman!"

The three of them walked over with a smile.

Zhu Can said loudly: "You are really a divine dragon who can't see the end, how are you busy?"

Ye Haotian shook his head and sighed: "The demon man has become a big trend, and if you want to clear the demon atmosphere, it will not be an overnight effort." I had to take my time to get a chance. Speaking of which, he was a little anxious for the three old men, if he stayed in one place, no matter how good he was, he would get bored.

His mind was spinning rapidly, and he suddenly remembered something, and had to ask: "There is a question for the late student, I want to ask the old gentleman: Confucianism is very extraordinary, but why is Confucianism powerless?"

The three of them listened to you look at me and I looked at you, and after a long time, Kong Xiuwen explained: "There are five main levels of Confucian qigong, namely: 'sincerity', 'righteousness', 'cultivation', 'benevolence' and 'supreme goodness'. We Confucians also pursue physical fitness, but we put the cultivation of the mind in the first place, unlike Buddhism and Taoism, which place great emphasis on the cultivation of the personal body. Through moral cultivation, we can keep ourselves in a spiritual state of righteousness and uprightness, and our spirit will remain strong and vigorous. ”

Ye Haotian nodded and said, "I also understand these truths, but what I don't understand is where is the skill of Confucian cultivation? Isn't it in my body, but outside my body?"

Cheng Shouli nodded solemnly when he heard this, and said: "This question has reached the key! Confucian cultivation is, in the final analysis, condensed outside the body. 'Self-cultivation, Qi family, governing the country, leveling the world', those with low skill can only cultivate themselves and Qi family, those with high skill can govern the country and level the world, and the prosperity of the country and the people are our lifelong pursuit of the goal, and it is also the result of our hard work. Although there were many officials who were corrupt and perverted the law, most of them still contributed to the Li people, and it was precisely because of the hard work of many Confucian scholars that the Celestial Empire had today's grand occasion. ”

Ye Haotian heard this, but felt that his eyes suddenly brightened, and he couldn't help but say: "Is it possible to understand it in this way, cultivating truth is like planting flowers, the flowers that bloom in Taoism are 'divine pills', the flowers that bloom in Buddhism are 'Buddha hearts', and the flowers that bloom in our Confucianism should be 'Confucianism'! In this way, the current structure of immortals is unfair, and at least the standard of 'Confucianism' should be added!"

Zhu Can sighed: "Yes." The crux of the matter is that our Confucian skills are dedicated to the common people of Limin, and the skills of individuals are very low, so there is no weight in the heavenly realm to speak. The celestial realm worships divine power and the Buddha's heart, and the gods tirelessly pursue personal ability, and if they do not have strength, they will not be respected. ”

Ye Haotian nodded secretly when he heard this, although he didn't say anything in his mouth, he made up his mind in his heart: "If it is possible in the future, we will definitely strive to add the factor of 'Confucianism' to the immortal structure." ”

At this time, he remembered that Zhuqiu still had some dirt on it, which needed to be carefully trimmed, so he invited Zhuqiu out of the Qiankun bag.

The three old men looked at him curiously, not knowing what he was doing.

Ye Haotian briefly introduced two sentences, and then said while cutting: "I want to go to the palace to see what happened to the emperor and why the government is abandoned to such a point." I wonder if the gentlemen have any good plans to let me enter the palace smoothly?"

Cheng Shouli and Zhu Can shook again and again: "Although we have many disciples and close friends, we can't do anything. It's easy to say anywhere else, but not inside the palace, and no one is allowed to enter unless they are instructed to see it. ”

Kong Xiuwen couldn't help but sigh and said: "Our Kong family is respected as the home of saints, and every dynasty and generation is a great emperor and courteous. Today, the Holy Lord once sent a gold medal, saying that 'if you travel unhindered, you can avoid capital crimes'. Helplessly, the gold medal was searched by the Nine Yin Sect!"

Lan'er comforted him on the side and said, "Old gentleman, don't worry, let the emperor make up another one for you later." ”

A few people chatted for a while.

Zhuqiu has been almost tidied up, and there are still more than two feet high, and the radius of seven or eight feet is full of golden sea sand.

Ye Haotian has no experience and doesn't know how many artifacts these sea sands can refine. He put away the sea sands, then said goodbye to the three old men, took Lan'er's hand and rose into the air, and flew towards the capital with auspicious clouds.

Soon after coming to the capital Jinling, Lan'er was very happy to return home.

Although they have only been away from home for more than ten days this time, the sixth prince and the princess are just as happy to see them.

After a while, Ye Haotian asked about the changes in the capital and the actions of the imperial court.

The sixth prince was very angry and said: "The emperor has not been in the court for a long time, and the prince is sick again, and the ministers hope that a prince can come out to supervise the government." A month ago, the emperor finally issued a holy decree and ordered the eighth prince to temporarily take the throne. The eighth prince has a good reputation, but after becoming the regent, he colluded with the eunuch Wang Xi and the prince Liu Heng and did whatever he wanted. This month alone, three ministers have been beheaded by raiding their homes!" Speaking of this, he couldn't help but feel heartbroken, beating his chest: "Eighth brother, alas! Eighth brother! I watched you grow up, and in the past, you could still distinguish between right and wrong and be compassionate, but now you seem to be a different person?

It was the first time Ye Haotian had heard of an eighth prince, and asked, "Dad, do you have a good relationship with the eighth prince?"

The sixth prince sighed: "The eighth brother was born to Zhang Cairen, his mother has the lowest status among the princes, everyone looks down on him, only I have played with him since I was a child." I am five years older than him, and I have watched him climb trees and catch birds, pinch flowers and pull weeds, and when he is a little older, he still cares about and takes good care of him. So he put his heart on me, and asked me about everything. But I don't know when he started to get farther and farther away from me. Now it's like a stranger! Years of affection have disappeared without a trace. ”

Ye Haotian was surprised in his heart and asked, "Dad, when did you feel that he had changed?"

The sixth prince closed his eyes and thought for a long time before he spoke: "It's been about ten years. Once, when I was looking for him, I entered his house without letting anyone report it, and found him playing drums and music with a group of women, which was a little strange. Because he's never liked music before, and for some reason all of a sudden the drums are playing so well? He was very unhappy with his expression in a few words, and then he said to me, "Later, please let your subordinates report me." I was very upset when I heard this, and since then I have become more and more estranged. ”

Ye Haotian's heart was full of coldness when he heard this, and then asked, "Dad, what do you think has changed in the Eighth Prince?"

The sixth prince thought for a while and said: "He seems to be much gloomy than before, when his eyes are staring at me, I can feel a cold pressure, by the way, it is like practicing kung fu for decades." ”

Ye Haotian was shocked and shouted, "Dad! I'm afraid that he is no longer the real Eighth Prince! He may be a demon pretending!"

The sixth prince trembled when he heard this, and struggled: "No, it's impossible, people look exactly the same, how can they be pretended? Where can I find someone who looks so similar?"

Ye Haotian told Lu Zhan what happened to him, carefully described the appearance of the person Lu Zhan saw, and then said, "Dad, you look at me." As he spoke, he slowly moved his bones and muscles, and after a while, he changed into the appearance of the sixth prince.

The princess looked at it in amazement, she didn't expect that there was such a kung fu in the world! Slowly, she became scared in her heart.

But the prince sat on the ground with a thud, and cried with tears in his eyes: "Eighth brother, my poor good brother!

Lan'er was startled and hurriedly stepped forward to help her father.

Ye Haotian quickly changed back to his original appearance, and comforted the prince: "Dad, the eighth prince may still be alive, what is his name?" ”

The sixth prince wiped a handful of tears and said, "His name is Zhu Mao, the word Tianfu." ”

Ye Haotian took out the turtle mirror, pushed the turtle mirror to run with one hand, and wrote the name of the eighth prince on the turtle mirror with the other hand with the cold ice true qi. The tortoise mirror turned for a moment, revealing a pile of dry bones. Obviously, the Eighth Prince has been dead for a long time.

The sixth prince saw the tears flowing down "in a hurry", and said with a cry: "I'll go find that bastard and fight hard!"

Lan'er knew that she couldn't, so she grabbed her father to death.

The princess also stepped forward and grabbed the arm of the sixth prince.

Ye Haotian continued to inspect the soul of the Eighth Prince, but he didn't know where the soul was, neither in the underworld, nor reincarnated, just like those who died in the small mountain village where Zhu Can lived.

His heart was extremely heavy, his face was still as usual, and he quietly comforted the sixth prince: "Dad, everything has to be considered in the long run, the demons are extremely powerful, the whole world is controlled by them, and it is useless for your old man to work hard." ”

Lan'er was very scared and said, "It's so dangerous, that person didn't do anything to his father." ”

After a long while, the sixth prince gradually calmed down, and whimpered: "I have never cared about the government and politics, and I will not hinder their good deeds, it is no good for them to kill me, it is better to keep it as a shield." ”

Ye Haotian thought for a while and said, "Dad, I intend to enter the palace to see how the emperor's situation is, I don't know what to do?"

The prince stopped crying and said: "It's difficult, as long as you are a minister of the court, no one can see the emperor." Even I haven't seen him for half a year. I heard that he indulged in singing and dancing every day, drank alcohol, played the piano and played chess, and proclaimed himself 'the Emperor of Happiness and Boundless Leisure'. ”

Ye Haotian's heart moved when he heard this: "I don't know what happened to my identity as 'chess to be called'?"

In the afternoon, he left the palace and turned into a middle-aged scribe, and Shi Shiran came to the front of the Taifu Mansion.

When the janitor saw that it was him, he hurried in to report it.

The time was not long, Song Jiuling hurriedly came out to greet him, and said as he walked: "Mindful of sir, Mr. is here, please come in to serve tea!"

Ye Haotian followed him into the main hall, and after the guests and hosts sat down, he asked, "Taifu, don't come to harm?"

Song Jiuling replied: "Thank you Mr. for coming to the rescue, my daughter-in-law and little grandson are all right! Now there is a stick of incense in the house in the morning and evening, and I bless Mr. Smooth sailing." ”

Ye Haotian hurriedly waved his hand: "It doesn't have to be like this! I just happened to bump into it, and I can't see death without help." Then he changed the conversation and asked, "I don't know what the situation is with His Royal Highness the Prince?"

Song Jiuling said in a low voice: "The prince declared to the outside world, 'After taking the elixir that Master Dandao hugged Pusheng and stayed in the palace, although he can't cure the disease, there is no problem in living for another one or two years'." He followed the method you said, lying in bed every day, pretending to be weak, and sure enough, he hid from many people. Speaking of this, he paused slightly, and then said: "Yesterday, the Taishi passed the word that Mr. 'chess to be called' is a little difficult. The reason is that there is a rule in the palace that only the top three Go players can be awarded the position of 'Chess Waiting to be Called', otherwise it will be difficult to convince the public. ”

"Is there such a thing? So the Taishi is open-mouthed, and I promise that my 'chess to be called' is going to be in vain?"

"Not necessarily, Mr. has to go to the 'Go Cottage' to play with four national players, and as long as he can win two games, he can be awarded the 'Chess Waiting Call'. Taishi also said that the emperor already knows that you have recited the world's first Go long poem, and is very interested in you, as long as you can calmly walk out of the Go grass hall, you may be seen at any time. ”

Ye Haotian asked curiously, "I don't know which four Go national players they are?"

Song Jiuling said: "The number one is Huang Shilong, who has been in the chess world for 40 years, and has not tasted defeat since his debut, and is respected as the 'chess god'; the second is the young national player Xu Youxing, who only loses to Huang Shilong half a son in each chess game, and is respected as the 'chess fairy'; the third is Zhou Xijia, who is in the prime of life, and has won the second place in the chess god competition of the Holy Emperor for five consecutive times, but only because of Xu Youxing's rapid rise that he fell to the third place, but he is still respected as ' The fourth in line is the old man, the old man has average skills, and he calls himself a 'chess idiot'. If you are interested, there will be a 'grass hall chess meeting' in three days, and I can report your name. As long as you pass two levels in a row and defeat the defenders, you can invite a few national players. If you win two more national players, you can be seen by the Holy Lord!"

If Ye Haotian hadn't been unfortunate for his family, he would also be a young man who liked to be lively, so he couldn't help but be eager to try at this time, and said: "Please report the name of Taifu, I will definitely be there after three days." Prepare well for these two days. I heard that there are a lot of chess books in Guozijian's library, can Taifu do me a little favor and let me enter the library to take a look?"

Song Jiuling said with a smile: "Sharpen the gun in battle! This is a trivial matter, I will write you a note, you can take it." As he spoke, he wrote two lines of words with a pen and handed them to Ye Haotian.

Ye Haotian took the note and waited to leave.

Song Jiuling couldn't keep it, so he had to let him go.

After less than a cup of tea, Ye Haotian arrived at Guozijian's library.

The guardian saw the note in his hand and hurriedly let him in.

After entering the warehouse, Ye Haotian knew that the collection of books here was twice as large as that of Yuelu Academy, with a total of no less than two million volumes. Faced with a rich collection of books, anyone will feel their own insignificance.

Ye Haotian habitually focused his skills on the psychic treasure jade on his chest, carefully perceiving the changes in the treasure jade.

Sure enough, Baoyu quickly became hot.

Ye Haotian was happy in his heart: "It seems that there are not only a large number of books here, but also a lot of treasures!"

He walked up and down among the tall bookshelves, the temperature of the treasure jade on his chest constantly changing.

The first thing I found was a book of "The Sorrows and Joys of the Heavenly Gods", which told the stories of some well-known immortals, such as how the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl fell in love at first sight? Later, why did the heavens go apart? Why did the Cowherd's cow fly? It turned out that it was not an ordinary old cow, but a green ox ridden by Taishang Laojun when he sent a letter to Guguan!

Ye Haotian read it interestingly, and quickly put the content of the book into his mind. His real purpose is to judge the surname of the gods through these stories, and only when they meet in the future can they do what they like, and by the way, find a few helpers to fight against the gods.

Then he found a book called "The Maker". At first glance, he thought the title was a book about the methods of making tools among the people, but after reading it carefully, he found that the basic methods of making immortal tools were discussed. The author of the book is Gong Yi Han, I don't know what it has to do with the Gong Lose class?

Suddenly having such a good book, how could he not be overjoyed?

He couldn't wait to read the description in the book, and he had a feeling of cheerfulness! Unfortunately, the content of the book was too simple, and there was nothing to go into the slightest depth, and it was already incomplete, and he needed to figure out and guess for himself.

After reading the two books, Ye Hao remembered his intentions and began to look for chess books.

He easily found more than 20 chess proverbs such as "Dunhuang Chess Classic", "Thirteen Chapters of the Chess Classic", "Go Potential" and "Ten Tips of Go", as well as hundreds of chess games such as "Jian Shantang Yipu", and memorized many books and chess scores in his mind in less than two hours.

At dinner, the six princes and princesses only ate a little vegetarian food, saying that they would fast for ten days and pay tribute to the eighth prince with candles.

Ye Haotian sighed in his heart: "If they knew that the soul of the Eighth Prince was gone, I don't know what they would think?"

"But where is the soul of the Eighth Prince, hidden? Could it really be that the Yin and Yang Falun is doing the trick?"

He thought for a while, so he had to put it down for the time being, and wait until the time was ripe.

Back in the bedroom, he remembered the refining method he had just seen, and the more he thought about it, the more fun he felt.

Lan'er saw him smiling happily, and couldn't help asking, "Childe has only been out for half a day, what good things have happened?"

Ye Haotian said with a smile: "I got a book of refining, which is very funny! It is said that it corresponds to the four divine materials of 'Disumu, Haijinsha, Hanshui Stone, and Black Thallium Gold', and there are four different refining techniques, in order, 'Folding Plum Hand, Red Crisp Hand, Tablet Opening Hand, and King Kong Hand', don't you think it's interesting?"

Lan'er's eyes widened: "How can there be red crisp hands?

Ye Haotian said: "The red crisp hand is specially used for Haijinsha. The five elements of Haijinsha belong to the soil, and can be kneaded into various utensils after adding water. The red crispy hands are a faint red color, and 'crisp' refers to the soft divine power. It feels like burning bricks, you can't heat too much, you can't have enough. The book says that Nuwa used red crispy hands to create people! Come, let's try it too!" As he spoke, he found an iron bowl, grabbed a few handfuls of sea sand, poured in some water, and mixed it into soil that was neither hard nor soft.

Lan'er stretched out her slender hand, grabbed a small piece and pinched it casually twice, and found that Haijinsha was very delicate after adding water, and it was extremely malleable, and it was easy to pinch into various shapes.

Ye Haotian told her the exercise method of the red crisp hand.

Lan'er concentrated and calmed down, feeling a thin stream of true qi starting from the dantian, going up to the chest, over the shoulder blades, and stopping at the elbows, unable to move forward no matter how much she urged. It seems that her skills are still a little worse.

Ye Haotian approached and hugged her, his palm pressed against her vest acupoint, and slowly injected the warm Shaoyang True Qi in the spring breeze.

Lan'er was really angry, a warm current went straight to her elbows, her five fingers became very smart, and she had an uncontrollable urge in her heart, wanting to pinch something, but what should she pinch well?

She leaned on Ye Haotian's arms, looked up at Ye Haotian's jade-like face, her mind was confused, and her fingers couldn't help but take the initiative. After a while, when she looked down, she couldn't help but let out an "oops", and what she pinched out of her hand turned out to be a lifelike clay figure of less than two inches!

Ye Haotian held the clay figure in the palm of his hand, and looked left and right and felt that it looked very similar to himself, but it was too small. He suddenly remembered what the turtle mirror said, "The artifacts made by the four gods can be big or small", so he silently recited: "Long, long, long!"

I didn't expect the clay figure to really grow taller! It gradually grew as big as himself! Moreover, Haijinsha originally had two colors, red and yellow, and after refining it with red crisp hands, it was closer to the skin color of a person! Except that the clay figure could not move or speak, it was exactly the same as a real person.

Lan'er was stunned!

Ye Haotian didn't stop there. He devoted a little bit of his energy to the clay figure, trying to the clay figure's hands and feet, and let it speak. When the clay figure blurted out "red crisp hands, yellow vine wine, and willows on the city's palace walls", he smiled with satisfaction.

Lan'er's eyes widened, and her face was full of consternation!

At this point, Ye Haotian finally understood the secret of Nuwa's creation of people, and also understood the secret of the Buddha and Guanyin enshrined in the temple. The Buddha statue in the temple is not a clay sculpture and wood carving squatting, but a Buddhist Dharma body with feeling and divine sense, which is one of the thousands of incarnations of Buddha and Guanyin!

※※※

Ye Haotian's skills were improving rapidly, but the power of the Nine Yin Sect was also expanding rapidly. Every day that passes, worse news will come over, seeing that the Nine Yin Sect has almost the entire world in its hands!

Time is running out, Ye Haotian has to race against time. After the Caotang Chess Club was still three days, he could do something else in the past two days.

After careful consideration, he felt that there were not enough lapis lazuli. If you have enough lapis lazuli, you can use the turtle mirror to explore the treasure at any cost.

Early the next morning, he and Lan'er went out of the capital again and drove the clouds to Longhu Mountain.

Hundreds of miles away, he inspected the demonic situation of Longhu Mountain through the turtle mirror. Today's Longhu Mountain is innocent, without a trace of dark and dreary demonic atmosphere, and I don't know what happened.

Before coming to the Heavenly Master's Mansion, when I looked at it, I saw a ruin! The town where the Heavenly Master's Mansion was located did not leave a single complete house, and the original thousands of palaces had been reduced to nothing! There was a dead silence all around, and I didn't know where the original noisy people had gone.

With his feet all over the ground, Ye Haotian faintly saw the white bones buried under the broken wall, and he couldn't help but feel a pain in his heart, and his hatred for the Nine Yin Sect increased a little more.

Looking at the unbearable desolation scene, Lan'er's eyes flashed with tears.

Ye Haotian was silent, turned around and flew towards Xianshui Rock.

The stone wall of Xianshui Rock is still so tall, and there is no one in the cave where the lapis lazuli was collected before, and the mountain axe used by the predecessors is thrown everywhere. The deep cavern is very dark, and the further you go inside, the more eerie it becomes.

Lan'er didn't like this dark feeling, so she simply hid in the Qiankun bag to cultivate.

Ye Haotian picked up a mountain-opening axe from the ground, focused on the Tongling Jade on his chest, and slowly walked towards the cave. The Tongling Jade warmed up from time to time. Whenever Baoyu had a fever, he would stop and look carefully, and would often find lapis lazuli on the surrounding stone walls. Before I got to the bottom of the cave, I found fifty.

I thought that there would be piles of lapis lazuli at the bottom of the cave, but who knew that it would be empty! It seems that the people in front of him have opened the mountain too much and have entered the area where there is no lapis lazuli, so it is announced that the lapis lazuli is bright.

Ye Haotian turned around and walked out, and at the same time strengthened his ability to concentrate on the Tongling Jade, and after walking for dozens of zhang, sure enough, the Tongling Baoyu became hot again. In one of the directions, the heat was stronger, and he chose a good position to swing the mountain axe and cut it over, and the axe went down seven or eight feet. Soon came to the place where the Tongling Jade was guided, and found that there were dozens of lapis lazuli piled up together.

In this way, according to Baoyu's guidance, he worked hard to open the mountain, and collected more and more lapis lazuli, reaching six or seven hundred after an hour. At this time, he had no intention of stopping, and still kept looking up and down, left and right. After three hours, the lapis lazuli became less and less abundant, and it became more and more difficult to dig. In order to dig one, sometimes it is necessary to dig out more than ten zhang of stone wall. However, he still persevered, and would rather dig ten feet by mistake than let one slip through the net. After another two hours, the nearby lapis lazuli finally let him shine! A total of more than 2,000 pieces were mined.

Ye Haotian walked out of the cave and stood on the protruding stone wall, the cold wind of early winter was blowing in his face, and his whole body was very refreshing. With more than 2,000 lapis lazuli, he felt a lot more at ease.

Lan'er walked out of the Qiankun bag and wiped the sweat beads on his forehead distressedly, not understanding why he worked so hard. In her opinion, there are more than a thousand of them! But she has always admired Ye Haotian very much, since he wants to do this, there must be a reason.

However, what surprised her even more was that Ye Haotian refused to stop there, but changed directions and continued to dig. He carefully chose the direction of the excavation, striving not to damage the structure of the mountain, hoping to leave a place for the people to live in the future.

After being busy for two days and one night, he actually collected more than 8,000 lapis lazuli before he completely stopped. When he looked back, he had dug up the entire stone wall and crisscrossed it, like a spider's web.

His sweat and dust condensed together, like a zombie out of an ancient tomb, but his heart was extremely happy, and he couldn't help but stand at the entrance of the cave and look up to the sky and howl.

Lan'er was also really happy for him, and said softly: "Childe, let's go back, take a bath and change clothes, and have a good rest, and you will participate in the Caotang chess meeting tomorrow." ”

Ye Haotian nodded, and then proudly rode the cloud head towards the capital.

In the evening, the two sat comfortably on the Taishi chair, chatting while drinking tea.

At this time, Lan'er had time to ask: "Childe, how are you going to use so many lapis lazuli?"

Ye Haotian glanced at her and said with a smile: "Heaven and earth treasures, the more the merrier, where are these lapis lazuli stones enough? There will be more places to use them in the future! For example, after entering the heavenly realm, interstellar teleportation requires a lot of energy, it takes energy to push the turtle mirror, and we need energy even more to practice, and these lapis lazuli stones are not much." ”

Lan'er nodded: "Well, in this way, the more the merrier." ”

Ye Haotian continued: "Not only is it lazuli, but I also have to desperately collect all kinds of treasures. You know, cultivating the Divine Pill takes time, and no matter how diligent we are, it is impossible for us to catch up with others for a hundred years in a year! After all, the time for cultivating immortals is too short, and if we want to quickly improve our skills, we must use extraordinary means. Heaven stipulates that both the Divine Pill and the Buddha's Heart can be bought and sold, and I want to take the collected things to the Immortal Realm to sell, and then exchange them for some elixirs in order to quickly increase my power. ”

Lan'er had never thought about the treasure exchange, so she couldn't help but look at him again from head to toe, smiled, and said, "Isn't Childe going to be a Confucian Immortal?

Ye Haotian laughed and said: "Confucianism can't stick to the rules, it must judge the situation and continue to evolve." As the saying goes, 'horses have no night grass and no fat', if you cultivate immortals honestly, you have to cultivate for eight hundred years to become a little immortal, maybe the earth can only be cultivated to the Yuqing realm. It is impossible to cultivate immortals by self-cultivation, and there are many people who steal shortcuts! Chang'e secretly took the 'elixir' and flew into the Guanghan Palace, Zhang Guo skillfully ate the thousand-year-old Shouwu body and listed the immortal class, even the Daluo Immortals are not exempt from vulgarity, every time they go to the Queen Mother's peach festival, so many people compete to go, do you say that they are purely for the fun? Many of them go to the peach and the Ganoderma lucidum fairy grass!"

Lan'er smiled: "Childe has never been there, how can he know the thoughts of those people?"

Ye Haotian said unashamedly: "Take it for granted!" and then laughed: "Isn't it that I spend the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain?"

Lan'er said: "What Childe said may not be completely wrong. If I hadn't taken the elixir, I might not even have reached the real world. And now, they are all close to the fairy world!"

Ye Haotian was very happy in his heart, with so many lapis lazuli, he should be able to do a lot of things.

After laughing with Lan'er for a while, he took out the turtle mirror again, first ignited two lapis lazuli, and then said, "Brother Mirror, please help me find out the whereabouts of the Heavenly God Axe." ”

The turtle mirror became excited when he got the lapis lazuli, and swayed left and right: "Okay! I also want to know the whereabouts of the god axe boss, but unfortunately it takes five hundred lapis lazuli, are you ready?"

Ye Haotian patted Qiankun Tips: "It's done, but how can I give it to you? ”

Turtle Mirror said: "Don't be so troublesome, you put me in the Qiankun Secret Bag, and then throw ten lapis lazuli stones on the mirror every two hours, and then wait for the results." It is estimated that it will take at least four or five days. ”

Ye Haotian was overjoyed when he heard this, and immediately put the turtle mirror in the Qiankun bag, put ten lapis lazuli on the mirror, and saw the turtle mirror slowly rise, and at the same time it turned rapidly, and later, the mirror emitted an extremely strong arc light, through the Qiankun bag, and put it into the depths of the vast firmament.

Lan'er looked at it and volunteered: "Childe, leave the matter of adding lapis lazuli to the treasure mirror to me! ”

Ye Haotian nodded in agreement, stretched out his arm to take her into his arms, brushed his hair and kissed her on her red lips.

Lan'er closed her eyes shyly, her delicate body trembled slightly, and her white jade-like cheeks flashed with layers of sunset, and then lowered her head.

※※※

The next morning, Ye Haotian turned into a middle-aged scribe and walked towards the "Caotang Chess Club" that Song Jiuling said. The chess club is easy to find, next to the "Xinghua Building" on the first floor of the capital on the bank of the Qinhuai River. The courtyard is not large, but there are several tall main halls. The door is open, and above the door is a golden plaque given by the emperor, with the words "Caotang Chess Club" written on it. On both sides of the door is inscribed a couplet, the upper one is: "Heaven is the chessboard and the stars are the sons"; the lower one is "the thunder is the war drum and the electricity is the flag", and the aspect ratio is "the wind and clouds meet".

When Ye Haotian came to the door and reported his name, someone immediately welcomed him in, and shouted as he walked inside: "'Chess Confucian' Mr. Tian is here!"

Ye Haotian was stunned when he heard this, and couldn't help asking, "Why do you call me 'Chess Confucian'?"

The man smiled and said, "Mr. blurted out and recited the first long poem of Go, which has already spread all over the Beijing chess world. Everyone says that you are a Confucian scholar in the chess world, and you can chant poetry and show off elegance. If Go also has a imperial examination, you must be the champion of the well-read and strong memory, so you are given the nickname 'Chess Confucian'. ”

Ye Haotian thought that what he wanted to do was a Confucian immortal, and now a "chess Confucian" suddenly appeared, which was really ever-changing, so he smiled and said: "Which one dares to laugh at me for being elegant and flashy?"

Entering the hall, I saw that there were already many people sitting in the hall, not only Taifu Song Jiuling was present, but even Taishi Liu Heng also came.

Ye Haotian hurriedly stepped forward to greet the two.

Liu Heng beckoned him and said, "Master Tian, I have already explained your amazing actions to the current saint, but the saint said that the imperial court only has three chess seats to be called, so you must be better than two of the four national hands to be awarded the chess to be summoned to the palace saint." Now that several national players are here, let me introduce you: this is the 'chess god' Huang Shilong, the 'chess fairy' Xu Youxing, the 'chess saint' Zhou Xijia, and one is your owner, so I don't need to introduce you. ”

Ye Haotian raised his eyes to look, but saw Huang Shilong's white hair fluttering, immortal wind bones, Xu Youxing was young and stable as Mount Tai, and Zhou Xijia was in the prime of life, murderous. He knew that these people were all chess masters, so he respectfully stepped forward and saluted.

Huang Shilong just nodded slightly, as if he was used to seeing people who sold their fame and reputation, and there was a guy in front of him who was talking about it.

Xu Youxing's face was expressionless and silent.

Zhou Xijia snorted coldly, as if to say: "I don't know how much I can't do, I dare to snatch the seat of my chess to be called!"

Liu Heng looked up to the sky and said again: "According to the rules of the Caotang Chess Club, newcomers have to break through six levels in a row, first two protectors, and then four national players, and generally have to play chess for six days in a row." ”

Ye Haotian was impatient in his heart, and said: "The student's chess skills are not good, can he play with six masters at the same time? ”

Liu Heng looked at the four national players: "What do you say?"

Huang Shilong looked up at the sky, Xu Youxing bowed his head and was speechless, Zhou Xijia looked disdainful, and said sarcastically: "It's very arrogant! Where do you put our face? You dare to fight with six national hand cars!"

Song Jiuling had the heart to help Ye Haotian, and stepped forward and said, "Don't worry, wait for me and the two masters to play a game with Mr. Tian first, and see how his chess strength is." While speaking, three low tables were arranged in a circle, and he sat in the outer circle with the two guards, leaving the inside to Ye Haotian.

Ye Haotian bowed his hand to the three of them, and then sat down.

After guessing first, the game begins.

The two protectors were bent on showing their hands in front of everyone, so they used their whole body skills to fall quickly. Song Jiuling gave in with each other, played chess casually, and the move was also very fast.

Unexpectedly, Ye Hao was faster in the world, often as soon as the other party fell, he followed closely to put down his chess pieces. But I heard the sound of "popping" in the hall, just like stir-fried soybeans. He ignored the ferocious attacks of the two protectors, took the edge and occupied the corner first, and didn't care about the mid-abdomen, and in one of the games, he actually climbed eight steps in a row on the second road!

It was the first time that everyone had seen this kind of play, and some people thought it was funny and couldn't help but laugh.

Huang Shilong simply turned his head to look out the window, Xu Youxing was still watching silently, and Zhou Xijia said with a smile: "The seventh son will lose if he works along the side!"

At this moment, even Song Jiuling thought that Ye Haotian might not really be able to go down, and he couldn't help but feel sorry for him in his heart.

But in less than half an hour, after Ye Haotian climbed the corners, he began to crawl like morning glory from all sides to the midbelly, and those who couldn't climb fell directly in the midbelly.

It's only halfway down, and the two protectors admit defeat!

The eyes of the people around him widened.

Huang Shilong retracted his gaze to the chessboard, feeling that this person in front of him should not be underestimated! The two protectors are both good Go players, and admitting defeat in the middle game of two against one shows that Ye Haotian's chess strength is already good.

Zhou Xijia pouted and said, "The chess strength of the protector is too weak, where can he play chess?"

The two of them were so angry that their faces were flushed and they couldn't speak.

Song Jiuling was a different story. I saw that he fell casually, full of loopholes. Unexpectedly, Ye Haotian was also a stinky hand, endlessly, and complained while playing: "What kind of chess is this! Oops, it's wrong again!"

At this time, some people sighed that Taifu was unlucky, and some people saw that Song Jiuling gave up chess, but felt that Ye Hao's world was too bad. Huang Shilong was surprised, because winning and losing were extremely difficult to control between half a child, and these two people actually did it! And it seemed very natural, not a fluke.

Zhou Xijia snorted angrily: "Taifu, how can the master of your mansion be more powerful than the master?"

Song Jiuling was annoyed that he was rude and ignored him.

Ye Haotian said with a smile: "Taifu let me, I hope the big country won't let me!"

Zhou Xijia snorted: "If you don't win, what face do you have to stay in Jingshi?" said as he ordered someone to move the extra two dwarf tables, and grabbed a few in one hand for Ye Haotian to guess.

Ye Haotian knew the result as soon as he checked it, and said, "Single." ”

Zhou Xijia stretched out his hand and counted it, and it was indeed a single.

At the beginning of the chess game, Ye Haotian first put a white child in the middle of the abdomen. Zhou Xijia was stunned for a moment, and carefully placed a sunspot on the corner. Next, Ye Haotian put four sons in the middle of the abdomen, and the fifth son could not reach the world or the ground, floating in the air like a white rose.

Zhou Xijia couldn't understand it, and said to himself: "Golden horn and silver edge grass belly, I see how you get off!"

Unexpectedly, Ye Haotian stretched out his head from the middle abdomen to the side, and gradually split the sunspots like a net. Black is divided into four pieces, each of which is shrunk into a corner, not only unable to expand, but also constantly encroached upon by white. Later, there was a loophole in one corner, and he was pointed in the heart by a white chess piece, and died of anger.

Zhou Xijia stared at the dead corner for a long time, and suddenly became ashamed and angry, hiding his face and running out.

The onlookers were all surprised, everyone kept looking at Ye Haotian, they didn't expect that this person not only had an amazing memory, but also really good chess skills!

Huang Shilong was also attracted by his novel moves, not only admiring his dominating momentum, but also surprised him with his extraordinary calculations.

If you deduce from the chess theory, Ye Haotian's chess is really unreasonable, and it can even be said that he played randomly, but the result was to win, the key is that his mental arithmetic ability is super strong, others see three moves, but he can see through ten moves!

Up to now, Ye Haotian has been anti-guest-oriented, sitting firmly on the Diaoyutai and waiting for others to attack.

Xu Youxing walked over without saying a word, slowly sat opposite Ye Haotian, and didn't guess first, and directly put a white piece in the corner of the chessboard. Ye Haotian put a sunspot in the other corner. Then Xu Youxing surrounded the air silently, and Ye Haotian also quietly surrounded his own space. The two sides lived in harmony and had not yet taken a single piece from the board until eighty moves.

Everyone was amazed to find that this was another very interesting game of chess, and they all felt that today was really an eye-opener!

and down to one hundred and twenty hands, and still not a son was eaten. The two are like good neighbors, each building his own wall.

The people next to him couldn't help laughing, only Huang Shilong didn't laugh.

After playing until one hundred and fifty moves, Xu Youxing pushed the chess and stood up, and said the only sentence: "This chess is not played by people, I lost three sons in the first move, how can this be reasonable!" After speaking, he stepped aside and faced the corner sullenly.
