Legend of the Gu Demon

Wearing black robes and black clothes, we came walking on the snow,

Ningchen's figure slowly appeared outside the gate of the village. He was dressed in black clothes and a black robe, with the corners of his clothes dancing gracefully.

Ningchen returned to Guyue Village, came to the market, and randomly found a shop.

After all, pig bones and wild boar tusks are popular commodities among the cottages, so don’t worry about the unevenness of the broken Yuan stones.

"Boss, tell me how much these are worth?"

Throwing the backpack on the stall, the bang made the equipment shake. The boss opened the backpack and was immediately shocked by the number of tusks and pig bones inside.

"This...there must be at least dozens of pairs of tusks. How many wild boars have to be killed! It seems like we are going to lose money today."

The butcher shop owner couldn't help but feel pain in his heart, but he still forced a smile and said, after all, the owner who can kill so many wild boars is not a soft persimmon.

"Well... these are probably worth ten yuan stones."

This made Ning Shichen slightly shocked, and he immediately completed the transaction and sent the newly obtained Yuan Stone into the Calabash Grass.

"I didn't expect this thing to be worth so much money, but the efficiency is still so low! Well, it can't be said to be low. It's just that I am too eager for quick success."

Ningchen laughed dryly and kept walking. Unknowingly, he came to the only wine shop in the village.

Smiling softly, he opened the door curtain and walked in.

"Eat your horse!"

Bang~ The chess piece smashed onto the chessboard, which meant that one piece on the chessboard was captured.

"Hey, boom your foal!"

Bang~ The chess piece flies out in one step and lands accurately to capture the opponent's chess piece.

This step must be heartbreaking, just like an ordinary person losing a calf.

This is "killing chess". The originally hierarchical chess is now killing the enemy camp involuntarily.

As soon as Ningchen stepped into the wine shop, he heard the shouts from the chess table nearby. He couldn't help but smile knowingly and walked away.

"Hehehe~, I just wanted to come here to have a meal, but I didn't expect there would be chess to watch."

"I think back to the beginning, I, Ningchen, also loved playing chess with Pinlao! It was so pleasant!"

Fragments of memories from past lives appeared in Ningchen's mind like bubbles in water.

In his previous life, before Ning Chen had become a great figure in the Demonic Way, and even before he devoted himself to the Demonic Way, he still loved to play chess, and even listed chess as a goal second only to his spiritual practice.

Ningchen not only loves chess, but is also good at it. He makes good use of the "immortal guide" move. His chess style is fierce and vigorous, and he can always come back with a big victory.

Every time he faced a "killing game", his interest rose, but he could win a big victory every time.

Ningchen squeezed through the crowd surrounding the chess table and rushed to the front. Only then did he get a clear look at the two people playing chess.

The man holding the chess piece is an old man with a goatee and a snow-white beard. His cloudy eyes show a kind of vicissitudes of life. With a rough hand full of cracks, he can add a piece to the end of the game by gently moving the chess piece.

The Xie Shogi player is a burly man with a stubble on his face. He is full of bravery. Looking at his chess moves, he also has an oncoming fierceness. With a big hand, he can attack the enemy's camp like a bamboo.

Both of them are experienced chess players, and the whole chess game seems to have an inexplicable sense of being natural and self-satisfied, which makes people on the sidelines marvel.

"What a good game of chess!"

"Yes, both of them have their own factions but are equally matched. It's really curious to see who wins the most!"

"I wanted to come and have a few glasses of wine, but I didn't expect that I could get some chess to watch!"

Everyone was talking and having different opinions, but the two people at the center of the discussion were not disturbed at all and just sat there quietly,

With his brows furrowed and thoughts abounding, the bearded man's eyes lit up, he grabbed the 'cannon' chess piece and smashed it forward, directly reaching the opponent's hinterland.

"Hahaha, general!"

"Hey, I'll eat it!"

The old man laughed strangely, causing his goatee to tremble slightly. A hint of cunning flashed through his cloudy eyes. He laughed twice and looked at the other party.

And the bearded man's face was extremely ugly, and he lost another 'cannon', as if an ordinary person had lost an arm, and his heart ached.

Upon seeing this, Ningchen shook his head slightly. There was almost no suspense about the outcome of the chess game.

In chess, the "horse" and "cannon" are so important. They are the key to victory. How can they be missed? Looking at the chess game, the bearded man lost one cannon and one horse. It is really heartbreaking.

"Hey hey hey, if you want to follow me, you'd better be a little greener. Go back and practice more before you come again!"

The old man with the goatee laughed strangely and looked at the other party with a slightly playful look, showing his unparalleled confidence.

"Oh, that move just now was really a bad move!"

"The advantage created by the killing power just now has been flattened by this one."

"Oh, it's so uncomfortable to have one less cannon."

The bearded man's face was extremely ugly, his knuckles were turned white from the clenching, and the noisy comments of the people next to him reached his ears, and he suddenly looked at the cloudy eyes with a smile,

"It's okay, keep going."

After saying that, he picked up another piece and moved forward. Ningchen sighed softly when he saw this, feeling even more disappointed. He turned around and left the chess table and walked to the empty table next to him.

"Waiter, take your order."

Calling softly to the waiter in the restaurant, a figure emerged from the back kitchen and trotted to the front of Ningchen.

"Hey, it's you again, what do you want to eat?"

"Still the same."

"Okay."

...

Ningchen sat quietly at the table. The dishes were already served, but his eyes were vaguely drifting to the chess table aside.

As time went by, there were fewer and fewer people around the chess table, and finally only the two players were left.

As expected, the old man with the goatee won in the end.

"Alas, we lost again."

"Hahaha, you are still a little green! Bring the things."

But when I saw the bearded man handing the old man opposite a bag with an annoyed look on his face, it looked quite heavy.

The old man weighed the bag and showed a satisfied smile.

"When you still want to do it, remember to come to me!"

"..."

The big man didn't reply, he just walked out of the wine shop silently.

Ningchen looked thoughtful when he saw this, picked up his chopsticks, and started eating one bite at a time.

"If I read it correctly, the bag of Yuan Stones that I just thought was supposed to be there. It seems that there is no resistance to this kind of small gambling in the village."

"But this is normal. There are really few entertainment venues in the village, so small gambling is quite enjoyable."

"But for a simple bet between two people, the chips are too small. If dozens of people can be attracted to gamble, the winning Yuan Stone can be obtained at a time of more than ten or even dozens of yuan."

"But this is still a conservative estimate. If it were the group of collateral disciples in the school, then the number would only be higher! Hahahahahahahaha."

Ningchen let out a silent chuckle. He was just a first-level Gu Master. He had no family power or strength. He also had C-level qualifications and just needed resources to practice.

Therefore, Yuan Stone is always too little for Ningchen, but as a first-level Gu master, how can he obtain a large amount of Yuan Stone?

This problem has never been solved. We have always tried to quench our thirst by drinking poison, which cannot solve the root cause.

Today, Ningchen learned about a sustainable way to make money.
