Sword knocks the door of heaven

Chapter 967 Watching Chess
The next day.

early morning.

At the foot of Mount Ronke.

The faint Sanskrit sounds are like a trickle, flowing down from the dry mountain, making this stone mountain in the middle of the sand sea feel cool like green trees.

"Today is the first day of watching chess. When the senior brother on the mountain rings the bell, I will lead all the benefactors up the mountain to watch chess."

At the entrance of Shishan, the little monk often smiled and introduced today's itinerary to the chess masters in front of him.

"After going up the mountain, everyone remember not to whisper. If you have any confusion, you can tell the little monk to help you answer it now. If you can't answer, the little monk will go to the abbot master for advice."

He went on to add another sentence.

"Can little master often go up the mountain to observe the end of the heaven?"

Among the chess masters, a young man with a gentle appearance and red hair looked at Chang and asked with a smile.

"You are Yi Haoyan from Raging Fire Pavilion, Master Yi, right?"

Chang Xiao looked at the red-haired young man and asked with a respectful smile.

"Little master has a good memory. You were the one who led me to the island back then."

Yi Haoyan also nodded with a smile.

"Master Yi doesn't know something. The first precept of my monks in Lanke Temple is not to see the endgame of heaven."

Chang Xiao replied seriously.

"Not even the host?"

Yi Haoyan asked again.

"No."

Chang Xiao smiled and shook his head with clear eyes.

"But I heard that the ones who take the place of heaven are all monks in the courtyard."

Yi Haoyan asked curiously.

The monk he said was the one who made the chess on behalf of the heavens, referring to the person who sat opposite the chess master and made the chess when he solved the endgame of the heavens.

"The three senior brothers who have fallen on behalf of the sky are all blind due to illnesses in childhood. They may not even have seen the chess pieces."

Chang Xiao still answered seriously.

"It turns out that Yi was rude."

Yi Haoyan cupped his hands apologetically.

"Except for the little monk and your three senior brothers, is there anyone else who can take the place of heaven?"

Then another voice asked.

"It's Yan Yu from Cangyun Sect, Miss Yan?"

Chang Le asked with a smile.

"Ah."

Yan Yu nodded.

Hearing the name Yan Yu, Xu Youyou, who had been silent in the crowd, suddenly raised his eyes and looked over.

Although the domineering look on her face has subsided a lot, no matter her demeanor or appearance, she is undoubtedly the little girl she met in that small tea shop.

"You know him."

Dongfang Yu asked in a low voice.

"Played a game of chess."

Xu Youyou nodded.

"Only one of the three senior brothers who hold the son on behalf of the sky is born blind. They have to practice in the temple for at least ten years before they can communicate with the heavens and make the son on behalf of the sky. But there is no one else in my temple except the three of them. It can communicate with the sky and make a son on behalf of the sky."

At this time, the little monk's voice drew the attention of the two of them back.

After hearing Chang Xiao's answer, Yan Yu fell into silence.

"Under Hongguang Shazan Hongwen, I have a question I would like to ask my little master."

A young man with an elegant appearance, a tall and straight figure, and an extraordinary appearance came out at this time.

Seeing that it was Zan Hongwen who stood up, all the chess masters present all turned their eyes to him, wanting to see what the chess master who ranked first in the bad game list wanted to ask.

"Benefactor Zan is too polite. I dare not ask for advice. If I ask about chess theory, I dare not be a little monk."

Chang Xiao also showed some sincerity and sincerity at this time.

Hearing this, Zan Hongwen just smiled and didn't say much, then looked at little monk Chang Xiao very curiously and said:

"I heard that these three Heavenly Dao endgames were initially empty chessboards, and those chess pieces were filled in one by one by my ancestors from the ten states.

"So this player who is playing chess against the sky should be our ten state ancient and modern chess masters.

"However, there are so many chess masters from ancient and modern times who come to break the game, but very few can leave pieces on the board.

"So I want to ask my little master, what kind of chess moves will be left on the board? And who will decide whether the chess pieces can stay on the board?"

When he said this, Zan Hongwen's face was filled with deep confusion.

It can be seen that the question he just asked has puzzled him for a long time.

And similarly, chess masters including Xu Youyou and the others are also very interested in this question. After all, being able to keep their own chess pieces on the board is the greatest compliment to every chess master in Shizhou.

So all the people looked at the little monk in front of them in unison.

"I have also asked this question to several brothers who hold chess."

After hearing this question, the little monk rarely suppressed the smile on his face.

After thinking for a while, he replied:
"But the brothers only told me that every move that can stay on the chessboard is the most perfect move in the world."

"Who will judge whether this is the most perfect step in the world?"

Zan Hongwen asked further.

"I asked this question too."

The little monk smiled wryly.

"How did he answer?"

"Senior brother said that no chess master who has seen this game of chess will have such doubts."

The little monk replied very seriously.

Zan Hongwen also shook his head with a wry smile when he heard the words.

Obviously, he was not satisfied with this answer, but at the same time, he became more eager to quickly observe the endgame of the Heavenly Dao.

"Little girl, Shadowmoon Valley Wulu, I also have a question I want to ask little master."

At this time, a girl with a dusty temperament in a green shirt came out.

"Miss Wu Lu, but it's okay to ask."

The little monk clasped his hands together and nodded.

"In this endgame of the Heavenly Dao, if I can leave a chess piece on the chessboard, will I be able to get the legendary gift from the Heavenly Dao regardless of whether I win or lose?"

Wu Lu asked.

"It stands to reason so."

The little monk Chang Xiao nodded seriously.

In fact, among the ten state chess masters, there has always been a saying that if you can make a move, you win.Just like the chess sages Su Lingyun and Zhang Tianze back then, they only dropped one or two pieces on the chessboard, and no one has actually played a whole game of chess for thousands of years.

But the little monk immediately changed the subject and added:
"However, I heard from my brothers that the way of heaven is impermanent, and so are the gifts. Some people found the gift as soon as they left the mountain. It’s not a given that some people don’t discover their gifts until they die, and some people may not even discover their gifts in their entire lives.”

A sentence of impermanence in the way of heaven once again aroused everyone's curiosity about the endgame of the way of heaven.

Then the remaining chess masters also asked the monk some questions, and most of these questions were related to the endgame of heaven.

"East benefactor, Xu benefactor, do you two have any questions?"

Just after no one asked any questions, the little monk turned his gaze to Dongfang Yu and Xu Youyou, who had never spoken to each other at the end of the crowd.

And this sound made everyone cast their eyes on the two of them.

"I...I didn't."

Xu Youyou was stunned for a moment, then shook his head.

"I do not have either."

Dongfang Yu followed.

"OK then."

Chang Le nodded, with a bit of regret on his face. He actually wanted to take this opportunity to listen to the disciples of Sword God Li Yunsheng's views on this endgame.

"when!--"

At this moment, the bell on the stone mountain rang suddenly.

"All benefactors, please go up the mountain with me."

Hearing the bell, the little monk Chang Le immediately said to the chess masters with a serious look on his face.

However, the chess masters below did not move, but turned their attention to Xu Youyou and Dongfang Yu.

"Since Miss Youyou is Mr. Yunsheng's disciple, she should be the first one to go up the mountain."

Just when Dongfang Yu and Xu Youyou were confused, Hong Guang Sha Zan Hongwen suddenly raised his hand and made a gesture of invitation.

"No, you really don't have to be so polite..."

Xu Youyou waved her hands with blushing cheeks.

"Miss Yoyo, don't try to shirk, Mr. Yunsheng is kind to Shizhou. Since you are his disciple, we should do so."

The Shadowmoon Valley witch green also took a step back and made a gesture of please.

The rest of the chess masters echoed the words, even though Yan Yu was upset, she just lowered her head and took a step aside without saying a word.

"Let's go, or it will be endless."

Dongfang Yu lifted Xu Youyou's hand, and directly pulled her up the mountain.

……

In an attic at the foot of Ronke Mountain.

"Miss Ningshuang, can Mr. Yunsheng come?"

The host Chang Le looked at Mu Ningshuang with some hope.

"Sorry, I can't give you a letter of approval for this matter."

Mu Ningshuang also shook her head.

"We all want him to come, but in the past six years, except for the occasional communication with us through divine thoughts, we have never seen him once."

Chen Tai'a who was leaning against the window was also depressed.

"Ugh……"

The old monk Chang Le let out a long sigh.

"In the past six years, we have sent out all the disciples we could, but we have never found a trace of Mr. Taibai."

He smiled wryly and shook his head.

"Isn't your Rotten Keqi Club held only once every three years?"

Dongfang Li asked curiously upon hearing this.

"As long as Mr. Taibai is willing to come, the gate of my Lanke Temple is open at any time...but he didn't come after all."

Monk Chang Le looked helpless.

"For the past six years, Yoyo has often played chess with Taibai in her dreams, and her chess skills have improved at an extraordinary speed."

It was Mu Ningshuang who spoke again.

"really?"

The old monk Chang Le was overjoyed when he heard the words.

"Ah."

Mu Ningshuang nodded.

"Since six years ago, she hasn't played chess in the Territory of Too Illusory, and it's also because of this."

She then added another sentence.

"From this point of view, perhaps this is Mr. Taibai's arrangement, and it may not be certain!"

Old monk Chang Le's gloomy complexion completely brightened up this time.

"Rumble rumble—"

But at this moment, a muffled thunder suddenly exploded.

Waves of palpitating power, followed by gusts of wind, blew into the attic.

"It's still here."

Xiao Che, who had been silent all this time, came to the window.

"If there is no accident this time, all Moluos in the ten states will come in person."

Chen Tai'a also looked out of the window at this time.

I saw evil clouds rolling on the lake around the Wild Fox Island, and the originally blue water in the lake gradually began to glow red.

"Everyone, don't worry, I, Lanke Temple on Wild Fox Island, are not something these demons can get their hands on."

The old monk Chang Le smiled at everyone calmly.

After finishing speaking, he saw the Zen stick in his hand lightly touch the ground, and golden ripples followed like ripples.

In just a moment, the ripples spread throughout the entire island, and then enveloped the entire island like a layer of golden light curtain, completely isolating the turbulent evil clouds and blood waves outside the island.
