Ruan Zhen was startled, hurriedly supported his mother, and asked puzzledly: "Mother, what did you say? I forgot to collect firewood today, and when I went out in the morning, I saw two people playing chess on the side of the road.

"Son, is what you said true? You went up to the mountains to collect firewood last year, and after a whole year, my mother thought that you had met a tiger in the mountains, and you were so unfortunate that your mother almost cried blind in her eyes!" said his mother.

At this time, the neighbors heard that Ruan Zhen was back, and they came to visit, and after everyone said it, Ruan Zhen believed that a year had really passed, and when he thought about it again, he realized that something was wrong, the young man gave himself a stone-like thing, and he ate it himself, and he didn't feel hungry until now, but in the past, he was already hungry at dusk, and the axe was not right, how could it be rusted to that shape in a day, and even the axe handle was rotten.

When the old master heard about this, he also rushed over, this point has been lit, the family is not rich, only an oil lamp is lit, in the bean lantern, everyone listened to Ruan's narration, fell silent for a while, the wall and the ground, the figure swayed, all for Ruan Zhen's experience is incredible.

After a while, the old master sighed: "I used to see in the book, there are immortals in the world, a year in the mountains, a year in the world, I thought it was the imagination of the ancients, I don't want to really be in this matter, you met the immortals, the immortals gave you the same thing as a stone, I also read it in a book of legends, it seems to be called Baishi, it is the food of the immortals, eat a piece, you can not be hungry for several years, probably the immortals see you a mortal, afraid that you are hungry, so they give you food." ”

Saying this, Ruan Zhen understood that he was very hungry at the time, and he was still thinking about why he was hungry again after breakfast, and after eating the white stone, he immediately felt no longer hungry.

"Do you remember the chess tricks played by the immortals?" asked the old master again.

"Remember!" replied Ruan.

"Wait a minute. The old master went out directly, and came again after a while, but he brought chess and two candles, probably because the oil lamp was not bright enough. After lighting the candles and setting up the chessboard, Ruan Zhen restored the chess step by step, and with each step, the old master fell into contemplation, and then applauded, and recorded the score with a pen.

When everything was finished, Ruan Zhen said: "There is one last step, but I don't know where it is, as soon as the middle-aged immortal falls, the whole chessboard is turned into powder, and I don't know where that step will be." ”

"That's enough! Good chess, sure enough, only immortals can play it, what is this chess game called? Immortal game, too vulgar, by the way, your axe handle is rotten, it's called a bad game!" The old master finally named it the bad game game, and this score later spread.

Shao Yan and Yuchen Daojun looked at each other, this game of chess was played for a year, and in the end, it was actually this result, Yuchen Daojun sighed: "Maybe it's really the will of heaven! How about this game of chess as a draw?"

"Judging from the plate, Daojun should have some advantages, but it has to be like this!" Shao Yan is not polite, he and Yuchen Daojun are enemies after all, although some things are true, but they are also good for themselves.

"Daoyou, don't leave it at that!" Yuchen Daojun arched his hand, turned into a touch of blue light, and rushed away.

Shao Yan rose under his feet, and also returned to the cave of Huozao Mountain, this year of playing chess, for him, it was like in this year, he comprehended the avenue over and over again, and there was a person who continued to show Shao Yan the way of his comprehension, not only to make up for the imperfect and imperfect places one by one, but also to the next level, before there was a rough idea of the level of returning to the void, and now the level of returning to the void is clearly presented in front of him, just waiting for the body and mind to polish carefully, and fit with it, within ten years, Shao Yan has been sure to enter the level of returning to the void.

Another point is that he has an in-depth understanding of Yuchen Daojun, if he talks about Taoism alone, Shao Yan can't do it, but Shao Yan is not afraid, at least in this world, due to the existence of restrictions, it is impossible for the other party to exert an attack that is stronger than the gods, which Shao Yan is also strange, according to Shao Yan's comprehension of the Great Dao, the limit of the world should not be like this, it should be that Dao-level monks can exist in the world and can exert their power, Shao Yan can only think of this as the role of a seal.

Shao Yan returned to the cave and sat down in the main hall, except for the deacon disciples, everyone else came, and everyone finished saluting. Lin Yunrou asked, "Master, where have you been for more than a year, why is there no news at all?"

Shao Yan smiled and said, "I have played chess with Yuchen Daojun for a year. ”

Everyone is puzzled, you and Yuchen Daojun are not enemies, why are you idle and have nothing to do, but you are looking for him to play chess, and it is a year, how many games are played, is it that Yuchen Daojun is also idle and has nothing to do, play chess with you.

Shao Yan saw that everyone was puzzled, so he started with Wuyin inviting him to go to sea, talking about Zhong Shaoyan becoming a god monk, and then meeting Yuchen Daojun, the two competed in chess, each using their own means, the speed of time and space was different, Shao Yan was around him, the outside world was a year, but Yuchen Daojun was around for decades, and everyone was dumbfounded, it turned out to be like this, no wonder the master said that he had played chess with Yuchen Daojun for a year, and it turned out that the two of them competed in Taoism and other aspects.

After listening, Lin Yunrou asked: "Master, which one won between you and Yuchen Daojun?" Shao Yan didn't say whether he won or lost, Shao Yan smiled: "If according to Taoism, Yuchen Daojun won, but there was a little accident, and in the end it was barely a draw, which is really a big advantage for the teacher! ”

Shao Yan waved his hand, a transparent chess game appeared, and the white and black hands fell, Shao Yan even simulated the momentum of the original fall, and everyone in the hall was not Ruan Qian, which means that chess skills, will and Taoism can be distinguished one by one, as the weakest Wei Susu's face turned pale, and her soul body was unstable, Lin Yunrou gently patted her shoulder, and Wei Susu calmed down.

Everyone realized in it, when the last white piece fell, the whole chess collapsed, Shao Yan's simulation ended, Lin Yunrou closed her eyes, played it back in her mind, and muttered: "If only I had been there to watch the game!" opened his eyes and said to Shao Yan: "Master, through this game of chess, I have understood that I want to retreat for a period of time, and I feel that the time has come!"

Shao Yan nodded and said, "Ming said that you will start the retreat, not only you, but also I will retreat, I have already understood the way to return to the void, and in the next few years, I will retreat and verify, so that I can enter the realm of returning to the void." ”

Everyone said in unison: "I wish the master (ancestor) to become a monk soon!"

Shao Yan moved his gaze to Wei Susu, and when he saw him standing behind Lin Yunrou, he asked, "Susu, are you still used to coming here?" Yes, the foundation has been solid this year, and it should be about to end the ghost pill, right?"

"Master Xie cares, the disciple has entered Master Lin's door!" Wei Susu replied.

"Well, Yunrou's realm is more than enough for you, practice well, in a few years, when Xiao Sisu is older, you will take her up the mountain, that little girl, born with eyes, on the way to practice, especially the use of supernatural powers, has an innate advantage!" Shao Yan nodded and commanded.

Wei Susu responded, Shao Yan took out the green mud, white stone and chrysanthemum water collected in Tianmen Mountain, rewarded some of them to everyone, and let Kou Zhen put away the excess, and said to Kou Zhen: "You take some of the green mud and chrysanthemum water and give them to the deacon disciples, this thing can not only not be hungry for several years, but also improve the monks' physique, which is beneficial to them!"

Kou Zhen responded, and Long Muxian said: "Master, these things are so precious, it's not of much use for us to eat, so it's better to hand them over to the head of the house together and let him arrange them in a unified manner." ”

Shao Yan smiled and said: "Mu Xian, you have this heart, and you are very happy for the teacher, but a cultivator, whether foreign things are precious or not, he is treated equally, regardless of superiority, these things and ordinary diet are not regarded as treasures because of its preciousness, nor will it be ignored because it is ordinary, cultivation lies in the heart, not in external objects, you can eat it like ordinary cabbage!"

"Thank you master for your advice, disciple understands!" Long Muxian thanked Shao Yan.

Shao Yan then took out a few sealed immortal chrysanthemums, which were originally harvested by the Jushui Creek, and asked Kou Zhen to instruct his disciples to plant them, which was not only a fairy flower, but also a rare elixir.

He also took out the books and magic weapons and magic weapons obtained in the undersea cave mansion, and handed them to Kou Zhen, and then said: "Just now, everyone saw me playing against Yuchen Daojun, I think everyone has an understanding, and there is one thing, master, you prepare a blank jade slip, and engrave the picture I am going to display into the jade slip for future disciples' reference." I was invited by the five yin real people this time, into the East China Sea submarine demon road cave house, five yin to get the devil road inheritance, there are fifty reliefs on the wall of the cave, Zhong Shaoyan because of this relief and enter the god in advance, this is the essence of the demon gate avenue, in my door, except for Zhong Shaoyan, are not cultivating the devil's way, but the avenue is the only one, the stone of other mountains, you can attack the jade, you also take a closer look, take a good view, it is beneficial to practice!"

After Shao Yan finished speaking, one by one the images appeared in the air, everyone stared intently, Kou Zhen when Shao Yan showed one, he carved this one into the jade slip, Shao Yan was like this, all the fifty reliefs were shown to everyone, as for how much everyone can comprehend, it depends on each person, it took more than an hour to display the fifty reliefs one by one.

Shao Yan also observed the situation of everyone in the meantime, the overall situation satisfied him, Lin Yunrou comprehended the most, and the others all comprehended to varying degrees, especially Wei Susu was beyond Shao Yan, maybe the demon path and the ghost path were similar, Wei Susu comprehended a lot, in Shao Yan's eyes, not only the soul body was further condensed, but the important thing was that between the tumbling breath, some special runes appeared, obviously some ghost or demon powers.

After Shao Yan finished the demonstration, he asked Wei Susu: "Susu, I found that you have learned a lot from these fifty pictures, what do you understand?"

"Master, I seem to have discovered an unyielding cry of life, how to go through hardships step by step, to a higher level of life, in the process, showing a heavy spirit, out of all kinds of skills, I seem to understand better, some things go deep into the heart, can't say, as if instinct can be used. Wei Susu thought for a while, said something, and then stretched out his hand, and a blue flame appeared in the palm of his hand, without a trace of warmth.

"I didn't expect you to realize the Nine Nether Fire, this fire attacks things, and the inside of the thing becomes ashes, but the appearance does not move, and it can burn people's souls, it is a weird yin fire, which can be used as a killer weapon for you!" Shao Yan was also a little surprised, many Demon Dao Yuan Infant masters could not cultivate the Nine Nether Fire, but a ghost cultivator in the foundation building period did it.

Shao Yan asked everyone again, although they were not as good as Wei Susu, but they also realized some special things from it, of course, the deepest comprehension was Lin Yunrou, if she was allowed to cultivate the Demon Dao, she would also be able to have smooth sailing, after all, the comprehension was here, but for her, these were only circumstantial evidence of the path she was currently taking, and through it, she could see the road ahead of her, Shao Yan even had a feeling that she could even achieve the Yuan Shen and become a god-transforming monk within five years, and now her accumulation is enough, just waiting for the opportunity.

Shao Yan gave an order, and handed over the puppet to everyone, so that everyone had time to study it carefully. Then let the crowd disperse, and he himself prepared for retreat.

The next time, Shao Yan walked out of the cave and entered his cave in Huozao Mountain, he did not retreat in the cave, but in the original cave, because he had to face the wall.
