Chapter 1209: Epiphany Chess Game
readx;
As he went deeper into the Divine Crane Sect, the mysteries in Zhang Xiaofeng's heart gradually increased, but these were actually irrelevant, and there was only one purpose for him to come, as long as he finished asking, he could leave immediately and not stay for long.

Just when Zhang Xiaofeng was having a headache, he found a figure in a somewhat empty house. Since the door of the house was not closed, Zhang Xiaofeng looked at it, and the house was extremely empty, if it was decorated, it would be desolate. In the entire compound, there is only a stone table in the center, and at this moment, the white-haired old man is sitting on the stone chair under the stone table.
Now that the old man is facing him, Zhang Xiaofeng can only see the side of the other party clearly, but Zhang Xiaofeng can imagine the face of the old man just from the side. White and disheveled hair, short but not long, like a pile of dead grass scattered on the head. The face is extremely thin and shriveled, and the skeleton frame is visible. He was wearing a very light blue robe, I don't know if it was because of his thinness, or because the robe he was wearing did not meet the size, and this robe was now hanging on the old man's body.
At this time, the old man was concentrating, staring intently at the stone tabletop, not noticing that Zhang Xiaofeng was watching him outside the courtyard at this moment.
"Uh......"
Zhang Xiaofeng originally thought that the other party's strength should be below him, after all, he was so investigating the other party, and the other party didn't know it. But it was because of this that Zhang Xiaofeng tested the strength of the other party, it was okay not to investigate, under the temptation, the strength of the other party could not be seen at all, that is to say, the other party's cultivation was far above himself.
"Don't stand outside, young man, come in and sit!"
Just when Zhang Xiaofeng was surprised, a transmission disappeared into his mind. Now that there is no one around, Zhang Xiaofeng obviously knows that this transmission is coming from the old man in the courtyard. In this way, the other party may have discovered his existence a long time ago, and since it has been discovered, Zhang Xiaofeng will no longer hide it, and move straight away.
When Zhang Xiaofeng came to the stone table, the old man still didn't look up, his eyes continued to stare at the stone table, and he frowned, as if he was thinking about something.
"Don't stand stupid, young man, there are chairs to sit on. After a while, the old man finally raised his head, glanced at Zhang Xiaofeng, and said kindly.
"Uh, senior, I'm sorry to disturb you!" In this world where strength is respected, Zhang Xiaofeng knows some rules and regulations, after all, he has no intention of offending the other party, and he should apologize.
"Oh, hehe, did I say I want to blame you? It's just that now that you came at the wrong time, I was in a serious situation, so I didn't talk to you at the first time!" the old man asked Zhang Xiaofeng interestingly.
"Serious situation, ......?" Zhang Xiaofeng obviously couldn't understand when he heard this.
"It's just a game of chess!" replied the old man simply.
"Playing chess, where is there chess?" Zhang Xiaofeng looked at the table, not to mention the chessboard, there is not even a chess piece, how can you say chess?
"When you play chess, you have to have a chessboard, as long as you have chess in your heart, you have chess, and my chessboard is in my eyes!" the old man explained.
"Oh, what is the situation now?
When Zhang Xiaofeng heard this, he was immediately relieved. It's just that in the past, what I simulated in my mind was not chess games, but mostly used to discuss formations, so I often imposed thousands of prohibitions on myself. Now the old man's approach is similar to his own, except that he uses it to play chess. No wonder the old man has been concentrating.
"Oh, no, but after you came, there will be a broken machine!" the old man smiled.
"Could it be that this broken machine has something to do with me? senior, if the situation is okay, will it let the younger generation take a look?" Zhang Xiaofeng felt that the old man's words were far from being as simple as the surface meaning, so he was curious.
"Young man, don't you know how to play chess?" the old man asked, and his deep eyes, which were sunken in his sockets, lit up, and then asked with joy.
The old man looked at him like this, as if he had seen a treasure, and Zhang Xiaofeng couldn't help but tremble in his heart. Therefore, Zhang Xiaofeng said: "The younger generation just understands a little bit or two, and I can't say that I understand." β
"Well, the old man has thought about it for tens of millions of years, and the mystery that has not been solved has been broken, but I want to see if you have other opinions. The old man said happily, and with a blink of his eyes, a chess game flashed on the table.
"Uh......"
said that it was a chess game, but Zhang Xiaofeng didn't look like a chess game no matter how he looked at it, after all, it was a square, and there were two black dots on the empty surface.
The chessboard is certainly in the traditional format, and the pieces should obviously be similar. But where has Zhang Xiaofeng ever seen such a chessboard and chess pieces? At best, it is just two black dots drawn on a whiteboard, and from another angle, the situation that Zhang Xiaofeng sees now is really like two stains accidentally falling on the white paper.
"Is there a broken machine?" the old man couldn't help but ask curiously when he saw Zhang Xiaofeng's stunned expression at this moment.
"This ...... Hehe! The seniors don't want to make fun of it, let alone any broken machines, the younger generations can't even understand what kind of chess this is. Zhang Xiaofeng touched his head, very embarrassed, and told the old man truthfully.
"Young man, chess, you don't really need chess pieces on the chessboard, if you think chess should be like that, then you will never get out of the game. The old man still said gently.
As soon as these words came out, Zhang Xiaofeng was taken aback. This old man's words seem simple and ordinary, but they are just like the supreme meaning of the universe, and in the dark, everyone in the world is like a chess piece, at the mercy of God's fate. If people are chess pieces, then God is a chessboard, and chess pieces cannot escape from the chessboard no matter what. And the situation is like the fate of a chess piece, that is, the fate of people is in control of the situation.
Although Zhang Xiaofeng felt so shocked by the old man's outspokenness for some reason, and even associated it so much, he had to say that the old man's outspoken words were very important to him. It's not so much to remind yourself that you can't be nostalgic for the past, after all, what you think about is something left over from ancient times and deeply rooted. For example, a cup should be like a cup, and the sun and moon should be round. Only by breaking these restrictions and constraints can we see farther heaven and earth, a farther world.
"Senior, your words remind you of thousands of feelings. The younger generation really doesn't know how to be grateful. After Zhang Xiaofeng digested his experience, he immediately said respectfully.
"You understand?" The old man was only stunned for a moment when he saw Zhang Xiaofeng, could it be that he understood what he meant?
"Yes!" Zhang Xiaofeng nodded and responded truthfully.
"So what do you understand? When the old man heard this, he stood up excitedly, and stared at Zhang Xiaofeng Dao almost like crazy.
Seeing that the old man was so excited, Zhang Xiaofeng was a little surprised at the moment. Therefore, he asked suspiciously: "Could it be that this understanding is very important?"
"Of course it's important! You see that the chess game on the table today is actually a puzzle set up by the originator of my Divine Crane Sect, the previous sentence is the ancestor's hint to the chess game, not created by the old man, and all the inheritance disciples are all looking for a broken machine, the old man has studied for countless years, and now I have some epiphany when I meet you, you have just seen, there is a broken machine, am I not excited, old man?" the old man told Zhang Xiaofengdao.
"Ah......?"
When Zhang Xiaofeng heard this, how could he say the surprise in his heart. I didn't think that the things I just had an epiphany about were the broken machines of this chess game. In other words, for no reason, he has already solved this chess game.
"Ahh
"Senior, before the junior speaks, do you first tell me your opinion on this chess game? After all, I am ignorant, and I can't say that I really understand!" Zhang Xiaofeng said.
"Well, too!" When the old man heard this, he seemed to have a balanced mind, after all, he had studied for countless years, and the entire disciples of the Divine Crane Sect were all studying, and they had never had a reasonable breaking machine. Now the kid in front of him just glanced at it, and he saw through it, so it can't be said, from another point of view, isn't it that all the disciples of the Divine Crane Sect are not as good as the people in front of him.
"This chess game is not a traditional chess game, so it seems that the intention of the ancestor is to let me wait not to stick to the old rules. From another point of view, this chess game can actually be regarded as my Divine Crane Sect. And the two black dots in the chess, falling in the chessboard, can mean two people. Because it is black and invisible, it is not known what this black spot is. In the past, I couldn't understand it, but now I have an opinion. The old man said what he thought.
"Then what is this opinion?" Zhang Xiaofeng seemed to have two points related to him from the old man's words, but he asked because he couldn't say it clearly.
"For thousands of years, my Divine Crane Sect has been a holy land, and no one has ever come, just like a blank paper chessboard. Now there are two strangers entering, but don't they apply for the two points on this chessboard? In this way, it seems that the chess game left by the ancestor of the founding mountain is to predict the future, that is, today. It's a disaster or a blessing, the old man doesn't know why. The old man explained sanctimoniously.
"Uh, high, really high! Just a chess game, you can predict the eternal future!" Zhang Xiaofeng's analysis of the old man was speechless in his heart. It sounds like I'm looking for a reason to solve the puzzle. Although the old man's analysis is not unreasonable, but do the two points on this chessboard really refer to himself and the woman in white? After all, this kind of analysis is obviously not reasonable enough.
In Zhang Xiaofeng's view, this chess game is not a chess game at all, and the purpose of the founding ancestor's last words is indeed to let the younger generations not stick to the old rules, and the vision should be more far-sighted. But something more profound, that is, the original intention of the founding ancestor of the Divine Crane Sect, may be what he thinks.
