Sword knocks the door of heaven

Chapter 494 Iced Sour Plum Soup

A gazebo in the desert of Hongli City.

Two hours have passed since the end of the first game of chess.

This second game of chess was not resolved as quickly as Li Yunsheng wished.

And the city lord of that night city also grasped Li Yunsheng's mentality. From the beginning of the layout, he was firm and clear, and he was always unwilling to confront Li Yunsheng head-on.

Playing chess is the same as asking for a living. If you let go of your dignity, you can always live longer.

However, Li Yunsheng's patience also exceeded the opponent's expectations. He did not make a wrong move because he was in a hurry, and his moves were still accurate.

So when it came to the middle game, the City Lord of One Night City began to feel overwhelmed. Although he succeeded in delaying the time, the price was indeed facing the storm after Li Yunsheng's full layout was completed.

In the last half hour of this game of chess, the owner of the night city felt like a small boat in the ocean, constantly being torn and overturned in the storm.

Over the years, whether he wins or loses, he has always regarded playing chess as one of the greatest pleasures in his life.

But in this game of chess, he couldn't feel any joy except despair.

He couldn't see any possibility of winning at all. He felt that every black piece in the chess box beside him was wailing, and the chessboard in front of him was like an endless abyss. devour.

"Playing chess...is really boring."

Seeing his own black dragon being slaughtered cleanly on the chessboard, the Lord of That Night City sighed with dim eyes.

"Yes, it's not interesting, just a game to pass the time."

Li Yunsheng nodded in approval.

"Different."

The City Lord of One Night City shook his head.

"What's the difference?"

Li Yunsheng asked.

"You and I think the boring place is different."

City Lord Road of One Night City.

"What's the difference?"

Li Yunsheng asked while tidying up the pieces on the chessboard.

"I have always thought that the difference in chess power is at most between man and mountain, mountain and sea, sea and sky, no matter how big it is, it can always be seen. It is like practicing, the ladder from the realm of the master to the realm of the saint, no matter how far the distance is It can also give the cultivator some hope. But today I can’t see anything, which makes me very depressed, so I feel bored.”

The voice of the City Lord of One Night City was a little low. His emotions seemed to be infecting the surrounding environment. Just now, the sky was still in a trance, and suddenly the sun was covered by yellow sand. It seemed that in the depths of the desert, a sandstorm was accumulating energy.

When he said this, he suddenly raised his head and stared at Li Yunsheng seriously:
"But you are different from me. Your boredom is just because you have no opponent."

"Senior, can I ask the second question?"

However, Li Yunsheng seemed unwilling to dwell on this issue, and directly ignored the words of the City Lord of One Night City.

"go ahead."

The City Lord of One Night City didn't care too much, shrugged.

"If I kill Yan Jun now, what are my chances of winning?"

Li Yunsheng asked.

"Kill Yan Jun?"

This question seemed to be beyond the expectations of the City Lord of One Night City. He was stunned for a while before he realized it, and then laughed wildly:

"You boy, are you ignorant or fearless? Do you know? Even Xu Honghu dare not ask such a question!"

"What is the chance of winning? Senior, if he knows, please let me know."

Li Yunsheng ignored the sarcasm of the City Lord of One Night City, and continued to ask calmly.

As if infected by the seriousness on Li Yunsheng's face, the City Lord also suppressed the smile on his face that night, then frowned and thought for a moment before saying:
"It's the same as the difference in chess strength between you and me."

"Is the old man's judgment accurate?"

Li Yunsheng asked.

"Of course!"

The City Lord of One Night City showed no perfunctory expression on his face.

"With your talent and the divine soul bestowed by heaven, if it weren't for the rootless immortal veins, you might be able to fight against him if you devote yourself to practicing for a thousand years, but since you have embarked on the path pointed by Yuxuzi, you will also completely cut off this kind of path. possible."

He continued.

"Why?"

Li Yunsheng asked.

"This was supposed to be the third question, but forget it, I'll just give you a few words by the way."

The City Lord of One Night City first stared at Li Yunsheng with a slippery gaze, and then continued to speak:

"Yu Xuzi feels that every realm that a cultivator desires to break through is actually a shackle of heaven on the cultivator. The higher the realm, the heavier the shackles attached to the body. So in order not to be bound by the shackles of heaven, he wanted to cut It took more than half of his life to break the cause and effect of his own body and the way of heaven, and in the end he did not hesitate to waste his whole life's cultivation. And your current body is what he is looking for so hard."

Having said that, the City Lord of One Night City looked Li Yunsheng up and down meaningfully, but he immediately continued:
"But Yuxuzi's insights are not perfect. This body can help you get rid of the shackles of the heaven, but it also abandons the gifts of the heaven. The benefits of every breakthrough in the realm are self-evident, especially Cultivators who broke through to the Saint Realm ten or a hundred years ago, the benefits they get are enough to enable them to comprehend for thousands of years."

Having said this, he suddenly heard it, then looked at Li Yunsheng with a smile and said:

"If you want to know more, play another game."

He pointed to the chessboard between the two of them.

In fact, through the words of the City Lord of One Night City, Li Yunsheng had already guessed a little about the reason why he and Yan Jun were so far apart.

But I have to say that the hunchbacked old man in front of him still caused some waves in his calm state of mind. Although the other party kept saying it very lightly, behind this lightness, Li Yunsheng had already vaguely spied on a person he had no imagination. past world.

"it is good."

He nodded, glanced at the chessboard, then glanced at Zhou Liang and the city owner of the night city in front of him, and said:
"In the third set, which senior will play with me?"

"The person who played the third game with you is not me, nor Zhou Liang."

The City Lord of One Night City waved his hand, then pointed to the Nine Seals on his palm with a sly face and said with a smile:
"It's him."

……

In Hongli City, on the altar below the iron castle, a dozen or so refugees knelt in a row in shackles.

"These refugees are the remnants of Qiushui's party. A few days ago, they conspired to start an incident in Hongli City, but our city lord saw through it early, and finally wiped them all out, saving the people of Hongli City from a disaster."

The one who spoke was the old servant next to the previous city lord, Mu Qiulin.

Although his body and bones looked unusually thin, he was full of energy when he spoke, and his emotions were impassioned and contagious, which attracted applause from the unsuspecting people in the city.

But Qing Luo behind the crowd didn't have the heart to listen to his long speech, she looked at Beidou nervously and said:
"Are you sure that your father is not among these people?"

Beidou hesitated for a moment when he heard the words, then raised his head with a smile and said:

"Yeah! Without my dad, it would be a waste of my sister's trip."

"It's fine if you don't have it, it's fine if you don't have it, I'm scared to death by you."

She patted her chest and said.

"Sister Qingluo, there is no one in the shop, you should go back first."

Beidou Road.

"You can go back with me too, this killing and beheading is disgusting, it's nothing to look at."

Qingluo glanced in the direction of Iron Castle with disgust.

"I'll go to Jiulongzhai on South Street to buy two bowls of iced sour plum soup to cool off sister Qingluo."

Beidou laughed.

"It's still a little bit of a conscience, sister, I didn't love you in vain!"

Qing Luo patted Qing Luo's head with a happy face.

"Come back soon after buying!"

Probably because the weather was too hot, Qingluo didn't want to stay here any longer, so she waved to Beidou with a smile and left.

After Qingluo left, Beidou still stood there, until Qingluo's figure disappeared from his eyes, then he turned around and rushed into the crowd of onlookers.
