Sword Knocks The Gates of Heavens

Chapter 968 Chang Shou, the man who lives in the sky

“Here it is.”

I don’t know how many steps I climbed, and Chang Xiao Little Monk finally stopped.

Everyone looked up.

A stone platform shrouded by a vigorous ancient pine tree appeared in everyone’s sight.

Looking from below, the stone platform is like a pair of hands reaching out from the cliff, holding up the vigorous ancient pine tree.

Obviously, this should be where the first set of Heavenly Dao ends.

“Ding!  …”

The metal trembling sound of the copper bowl being knocked sounded from the stone platform, which made the players who had just arrived here couldn’t help but fight. shivered.

This sound was like a welcome to them, like a warning to them, more like a report to an invisible person.

As if to say: They are coming.

Everyone immediately followed Little Monk, stepping on the suspended stairs one by one, to the stone platform.

It’s not the same as when looking down, the stone platform is very spacious, and the ancient pine tree is also very large, with strong branches, almost completely covering the sky above everyone’s heads, and sunlight can only come from the gaps in the branches. fall.

On the stone platform, a monk sat on the ground against the cliff, holding a string of rosary beads in his hand, his eyes closed, and he recited scriptures in a low voice.

Obviously, it was him who knocked on the bowl just now.

Little Monk seemed unwilling to interrupt the monk’s chanting, but stood by with his hands clasped together and said nothing.

Seeing this, all the chess masters stood silently aside without saying a word. They just rolled their eyes one by one and began to look at the monk carefully.

This monk has sunken eyelids and sunken cheeks, and his whole body is as thin as a skin wrapping a skeleton, making that gorgeous cassock look extremely ill-fitting.

He sat on a futon that was washed a little white, with a small desk in front of him, a scroll of scriptures on the left side of the desk, and a Vajrapani Pestle on the right side, in the middle There was a copper bowl with thirteen sticks of incense burning in the bowl.

And further ahead, there are thirteen chessboards in turn.

Maybe it’s been a long time, one square stone chessboard is already covered with moss and vines, and the chessboard is covered with pine needles. If you don’t look carefully, it is difficult to find that it is actually a chessboard.

The line of sight goes up with the mountain, and it is another section of stone steps embedded in the cliff, and there is no doubt that the top of this section of stone steps will be

“Ding! …”

Another crisp knocking sound of the copper bowl sounded.

This sound directly drew everyone’s attention back and landed on the skinny monk again.

“Amitabha…”

The skinny monk folded his palms and opened his empty eyelids.

Although there was nothing in the eyes of the monk, the chess masters standing in front of him had a kind of unease in their hearts, and they began to frown.

However, Xu Youyou was very calm, she also put her palms together in a decent manner, and smiled at the monk.

The skinny monk seemed to “see” this smile, and also nodded lightly to Xu Youyou inadvertently.

“Changshou Senior Brother, these are the chess players who came to watch chess this time.”

At this time, Little Monk Chang Le spoke.

“You are here for Junior Brother.”

Chang Shou nodded, his voice was extraordinarily old and hoarse, and the speed of his speech was more like stirring paste.

“Everyone, please sit down, the chessboard is in front of you, and you can sit at will.”

“Thank you, Master.”

“Thank you, monk.”

……

While thanking everyone, they chose a chessboard to sit on. Down.

Xu Youyou and Dongfang Yu chose the adjacent chessboard. When they were seated, they looked at each other and smiled, and then they both seriously looked towards the chessboard in front of them.

“You can watch the chess first, don’t rush to write.”

At this time, the monk Changshou spoke again. While he was speaking, he stretched out his hand and flicked forward lightly. .

With this lightly waved, the fallen leaves and weeds on the chessboard were swept away.

But to everyone’s surprise, there are no chess pieces on the board.

“Why are there no chess pieces?”

Hongguang Sha Zan Hongwen couldn’t help but ask.

“pa ta!”

Just as he finished his words, a sunspot seemed to be born out of nowhere and landed on the star position in the upper right corner of his chessboard.

Not only him, but other people also had a black spot on the chessboard.

“This game of chess is complicated, I’m here to review it for you first.”

“Pa ta!”

The voice of Monk Chang Shou sounded again , and at the same time as his voice sounded, a white stone landed on the small star position in the lower right corner of the chessboard.

“In this case, let’s go up and down the chessboard.”

This is Blue Cloud Sect Yan Yu suddenly opened the mouth and said.

In fact, her words expressed the aspirations of many chess players present.

In their opinion, it is better to play another game of chess on their own to have a better chance of winning than to continue playing on the previous endgame.

“If you still have this idea after watching this endgame, this poor monk can restart the chess game with you.”

Monk Chang Shou answered peacefully, as if it was too early. I expected half of these people to ask this question.

While his colleague was talking, another black gas “pata” landed on the small eye in the lower left corner of the chessboard.

Everyone, look at me, I look at you, and finally choose to watch this endgame.

“In this round, Heavenly Dao will play black, and ten state cultivators will play white.”

“pa ta.”

Monk Chang Shou said, Continue on the other hand.

In the silence, a piece of old-fashioned black and white chess pieces appeared on the chessboard and quietly landed in the criss-crossed chess path.

I don’t know if it’s an illusion.

Xu Youyou only felt that every piece on this chessboard, even if it was a piece of the same color, looked similar at first glance, but looked very different at first glance, even the scratches on that piece, It also has a subtle meaning, just like the lines on the palm of a person.

But soon, her attention was drawn to the increasingly complex chess game.

In this game, the initial moves are all set, and there is nothing special about it.

This made everyone, including Xu Youyou, question the Heavenly Dao endgame.

But from the time White’s sixteen moves against a black spire in the lower right corner and the next tiger, the game suddenly becomes dangerous.

A number of cultivators, although seemingly calm on the surface, couldn’t help applauding the hand of the human cultivator in their hearts.

But immediately after the black qi’s nineteen-handed wrench, he directly poured a spoonful of cold water on everyone’s head.

This begins, and every move that follows turns into a brutal fight between black and white chess pieces.

As the chess game progressed, everyone only felt that they were in a slaughtering battlefield.

Although this killing battlefield is extremely violent and brutal, but it also makes people intoxicated in horror, as if admiring a perfect incomparable, but it is a picture drawn with blood , In this picture scroll, even killing has become a way of existence of beauty.

In this game of chess, White has always been at a disadvantage, but every time the mountains and rivers are exhausted, there will be an amazing move.

Obviously, this is a new cultivator joining the game.

And it is one human cultivator who is trying to turn the tides one after another at the juncture of crisis, so that this game of chess begins to truly become an existence beyond the human world.

As the monk Changle landed on the last black piece and forced the white piece into a desperate situation again, the chess players in front of the chessboard had been shocked by the chess game in front of them for a long time.

At this moment, they finally understood why the countless ancestors did not start another game, but chose to continue to complete this game.

Because there is no second chance other than gathering the power of ancient and modern chess masters, together with Heavenly Dao, complete this perfect chess game.

After watching this game of chess, the word “eternal” appeared in the minds of many chess players.

For a cultivator, immortality is eternity.

For chess players, eternity is an irreplaceable move on the chessboard.

In the endless river of time, on the criss-crossed chessboard like the stars in the sky, the word eternity is almost equivalent to a lie.

But after watching this game.

They discovered that every piece that fell on the board would represent eternity.

They can even believe that even if time passes and the Star River falls apart, this game of chess will remain in this world forever.

How could such a perfect game of chess be rejected by any chess player in this world?

At this moment, including that Blue Cloud Sect Yan Yu, the thought of another round has been completely extinguished in his heart.

They even started to feel ashamed and ashamed for having had that thought earlier.
