Chapter 259 Playing Chess
thunderbolt--
The dazzling lightning flashed across the gloomy sea of clouds, and the raindrops as big as beans rolled down, hitting the mud, gathering into the stream, shaking away the turbid mud, revealing the old man in a cloth robe, and a bronze old sword inserted beside him.
Why haven't you died yet...
Old Lu was covered in blood, lying in the muddy ground, looking at the dark sky, with deep confusion in his eyes.
When he was young, Lao Lu felt that he was favored by the way of heaven. God wanted him to do something big, so that he could get rid of danger in desperate situations.
But now that I am old and have a weak body and my mood is ruined, I don’t want to practice swords anymore. I still don’t die when I deserve it. God let him live but he doesn’t give him a way to survive. What does it mean?
Don’t you want to be free so easily?
Lao Lu thought about this and recalled the past that was so beautiful that he had never dared to think about for him, but he thought that he was not a thing the more he thought about.
The surrounding area was shaking, but there was no disturbance from outsiders, nor was there any difference between day and night. I don’t know how long this thought lasted until the sound of flapping wings came from a distance.
Puff puff puff —
Old Lu Yuguang looked at a white bird, flying from the rain curtain, landed on the hilt of the Huangquan Sword, lowered his head and looked at him with his bright eyes, "Jiji!" and shouted. Although he couldn't understand the bird's singing, he could roughly understand the meaning:
"Birds and birds are looking for you everywhere, but you actually sleep here. Do you know how far the birds and birds fly? Ah?"
Under the rain, the yellowish wings of the dumpling disguised as white again, like wet white chickens. Although I felt that the old man couldn't even eat enough, I still opened my beak and asked for the errands with the idea of giving it a try.
Lao Lu used the earth-shaking sword in Huoka Valley, which had already squeezed the last trace of his body's energy without reservation. Even if no one helped, he would have to recuperate for several years afterwards. What's more, he was exposed to the range of attack with the momentum of breaking jade. At this time, his injuries were so serious that he even felt tormented when he breathed.
However, compared with mental torture, physical pain is nothing. After walking alone for a lifetime, Lao Lu has long been accustomed to these things. He slowly sat up and looked at the bird at the top of the hilt of the sword. After thinking about it, he took out a wild fruit with rich spiritual energy from his sleeve and threw it to Tuanzi.
Tuanzi's little dissatisfaction just now disappeared. After performing three mouthfuls of fruit, he pointed his wings south and signaled Lao Lu to go over.
With a little spiritual bird around him, Lao Lu completely broke free from the torture of his soul and looked at the surrounding heaven and earth.
Where he is located is the shore of a large lake, and the towering mountain peak can no longer be seen; the lake surface is in the shape of a yin and yang fish, with a stone embankment in the middle, which is obviously artificial. You can also see some broken walls and ruins of ancient buildings by the lake, including a small temple.
What the hell...
Lao Lu is not very old in the Tao of Practice. In the eyes of Shangguan Yutang and other ancestors, he is actually the leader of the young generation in contemporary times, just like Zuo Lingquan and Shangguan Lingye. However, after all, he has been in Zhongzhou for half his life and has been to every corner. He doesn't remember that there is such a place in Zhongzhou.
When I was young, I traveled around and missed to many secret realms, but it was indeed the first time I saw it.
After scanning for a week, Lao Lu staggered to the fairly complete ruined temple on the lakeside with his sword as his crutch. He looked up and found that it was exactly the same as the peak where Zuo Lingquan was located, and a large horned deer was worshipped.
Tuanzi felt that Quanquan was boasting his mouth with the wet nurse, so she was not in a hurry to go back. She landed on the head of the big horned deer, spreading her wings to form a phoenix spreading her wings, which roughly means:
"Birds also want to make such a statue. Do you think it's appropriate?"
Tuanzi was blessed by the way of heaven, and even the ancestor Shangguan could not see the details at a glance, let alone Lao Lu.
As a native of Central China, Lao Lu recognized the statue in front of him as the god, and raised his hand gently and said:
"Come down quickly, this is the statue of the Lord of Central China. If you stand on the old man's head, you will jump around. I will be furious."
Tuanzi was not even afraid of the Lord of Zhongzhou. How could he be afraid of a big stone that had long lost its spiritual consciousness? However, when he saw Lao Lu respectful, he still flew down.
Lao Lu's five elements are close to the earth. The immortal sword Huangquan in his hand is the immortal weapon embryo that buried countless years under the earth and gave birth to the sword spirit. In order to cultivate a serious immortal weapon, Lao Lu once traveled around and was looking for magic weapons related to the Five Elements Land. He had a lot more knowledge of this than ordinary monks.
Lao Lu walked around the dilapidated temple and gradually saw the tricks of this place from some strokes and ancient words.
I remember that when I first obtained the Huangquan Sword, in order to find the treasures related to the Five Elements Land, the first thing he thought of was the local god Qilin in Zhongzhou.
I once searched and read ancient books everywhere. In the ancient books in the Caiyi Kingdom Palace in the north, I found a book called "Mountain and River Miracle Catalog", which records various messy legends, including records about Qilin.
It is said that it was the sea of sand in the Middle Kingdom in ancient times, or an oasis, transformed into the lord of the Middle Kingdom who transformed into the seven-colored deer, using it as a nest and was worshipped by the incense of all people.
Colorful deer, like ordinary deer, can change its horns, but it only changes once every thousand years.
The seven-colored deer antlers are of the same grade as the wings of the stolen elixir and the dragon scales in the east. The dragon scales and wings can refine immortal weapons, such as the Xuanwu shield and dragon scale skirt that the ancestor Shangguan accompanied him, which is the opportunity to find the gods to ask for. The special thing about the antlers is that they can also be used medicinal.
The five elements earth master carries it, and it is not an exaggeration to use the deer antlers of the Zhongzhou Lord as medicine to temper the body. The effect is not an exaggeration; if it is refined into a natal object, it is one level lower than the Dragon King of the Four Seas, the five beasts of the Great Heavenly Official, and the natal earth is directly perfect, so you won’t have to worry about it anymore in this life.
After seeing the records, Lao Lu naturally came to the sand sea to search for it with great enthusiasm. Unfortunately, the oasis that changed for thousands of years had long become the Dead Sea. Later, from some mouth-to-mouth stories, he learned that the Lord of Zhongzhou was always disturbed and moved, leaving only an empty nest, which was called the "Qilin Cave".
It is not a bad thing for the Lord of Central China to leave. At least the monks don’t have to worry about entering rashly and being trampled to death by the gods. Maybe there are still some treasures in the nest. Not to mention deer antlers and deer whips, even if they leave a deer hair, it is also the deer hair of the Lord of Central China. It is not easy to refine a magic weapon.
Unfortunately, no one has found any trace for thousands of years. The legend has become nonsense. Lao Lu did not find it in the end, and he thought it was a random rumor.
But the place where you are now is very similar to the Qilin Cave recorded in the legend.
Old Lu held the hilt of the sword with both hands and looked at the gradually shattering world outside the temple, and unexpectedly said:
"Isn't this Qilin Cave Heaven?"
This sentence was like talking to oneself, and I didn't expect to get a response from the dumpling.
But the dumplings are very polite and answer questions. "Jiji." Two sounds, as if they were saying: "In the past, it is now the territory of birds."
Lao Lu was confirmed and was quite excited, but after a moment, he shook his head and sighed:
"If you are willing to plant flowers but not bloom, you willows and willows willows and shade them. What can you do if you find the antler? If you continue your life for another five hundred years, you will not suffer another five hundred years of sin."
"Ji~" Tuanzi opened his bird's beak and signaled that you should not find it for the birds to eat.
Old Lu thought about it, and he also had an incompetent disciple who was called "Battle of the Two Poles of the Barren Mountains" with the Lord of the Barren Mountains. He should not leave this opportunity to his descendants. He could not ignore the matter of bent down and picking up something.
Thinking of this, Lao Lu pulled up the broken hat on his back, covered it with the dumplings, and stepped into the dark world where the rain was pouring.
As for where to go, Lao Lu did not have a clear direction. It is always like this to find opportunities. If you have good luck, you can meet them. If you have bad luck, no matter how many theories you have, it will be in vain. When you arrive in such a place, no matter how high the realm is, you must follow your feelings like Xie Qiutao.
As a small world created by the gods, Qilin Cave is not as vast as the small world that Qinglong pulled Zuo Lingquan into, but it is also larger than the artificial small world like the Tielu Cave. Just by visual observation, it may be thousands of miles in radius.
Old Lu was seriously injured and walked unhappily, but no one dared to come in easily, so he was not in a hurry. He walked and looked at the clues of the Qilin's nest.
But the people outside are afraid to come in for the time being, which does not mean that there are only a few living people here.
After walking with Tuanzi for a while, Lao Lu came to a collapsed hill.
The hill seemed to be smashed from the sky by something falling from the sky, and the original appearance could no longer be seen, but among the soil and gravel, many weathered sand particles and branches of peach trees that were only found in the desert.
"Lin Zifeng?"
Old Lu's expression changed slightly. He held the hilt of the sword and came to the front, quickly exploring the collapsed hill, and finally found a round pit between the ruins.
There were some rags and blood on the bottom of the pit, but the body that should have been lying in it was gone...
——
Slap sex-
The rain grains were like soybeans, hitting the thick stone wall, making a crisp sound like jade beads falling from the plate.
Zuo Lingquan and Shangguan Lingye sat outside the broken building that should have been the main hall of the sect, leaning against the corridor columns, looking at the magnificent picture outlined by lightning in the sky.
The ancient sect built on the mountain was originally quite a small one. After Tuanzi left, Zuo Lingquan and Shangguan Lingye walked around the sect together, thinking about searching for a few lost ancient objects and other things.
Unfortunately, even the traces that people can leave cannot withstand the erosion of endless years. This is the case with formations and books. The only thing that can prove that they were once glorious is these broken stones that can be seen everywhere.
Some of the buildings in the sect can still be identified, such as the Zangjian Pavilion, the Zushi Hall, etc., but they all collapsed, leaving only the roadbed. The objects of practice that can be found are just blocks that cannot be seen in their original appearance.
After walking around, the two of them got nothing and lost interest. They chose a place to shelter from the rain and waited for the world to return to stability.
As the sky collapses and the earth sinks, the spiritual energy changes strangely, and the world is in chaos. The random mobilization of the spiritual energy of heaven and earth is likely to bring about an immeasurable chain reaction. For safety reasons, the two of them do not need to sit cross-legged and practice Qi. What they can do now is just drinking and chatting together to pass the not-too-long boring time.
Thunder and clouds are covered with thunder and clouds, like thousands of thunder dragons parading in the sea of clouds; heavy rain is like a waterfall, and the crisp crackling sound becomes a music played by the world. Under this scene, the artistic conception is very suitable for drinking.
A small wine case with mahogany texture is placed between two pillars, with a black and white chessboard above it.
A red carpet was spread on the ground, disguised as a disguise, and the beautiful woman in the phoenix dress who had changed back to a gorgeous palace dress, lazily supported her side face with her hands, leaned against the small table, pinched the white zi in her hand, flipped and played with it between her five fingers.
Zuo Lingquan finally pulled off his beard that was inappropriate to lick Wanwan, and returned to the gentle and elegant nobleman. He held a black piece in his right hand and a wine bowl in his left hand, and sat next to the wine table. His eyebrows were full of bamboo and his chest, and he fell a piece on the chessboard.
Bang-
"Five sons, the concubine, you lost again."
After saying that, he looked at the palace beauty opposite with a smile.
Shangguan Lingye had a three-point red cheek, and his eyebrows were slightly frowned, and he looked a little dissatisfied. He stared at the chess game for a moment and threw Bai Zi into the chess basket:
"It's boring. The way of playing chess is profound and profound. You can see the nature of people in the sect. It is one of the compulsory courses in the sect. But the sect will not teach such things that children can play. If you have the ability, let's have a real game?"
Zuo Lingquan has been practicing martial arts since he was a child. To put it nicely, he is devoted to the swordsmanship, and to put it bluntly, he is not good at doing his job. He is not good at playing chess, calligraphy and painting. How can he be Shangguan Lingye’s opponent in real chess? He said seriously:
"A person in the practice of cultivation should be willing to accept the loss. The Empress takes the initiative to play chess and pass the time. I said to play Gozi chess. The Empress agreed, and said to add some lottery and take off one piece of clothing at a time. The Empress also agreed confidently. Now she wants to break her promise?"
“…”
Shangguan Lingye showed a three-point reluctance in his beautiful eyes, but he did not make any mistakes in the end. He bent his legs slightly, and his hands reached under the hem of his skirt, rustling.
Zuo Lingquan's eyes were not mixed with any evil thoughts, and he stared at Shangguan Lingye's skirt seriously. Unfortunately, Shangguan Lingye was unhappy when he lost and didn't want to show it to him. The skirt was covered tightly. After a moment, he took out a rolled black stocking and threw it on his chest:
"continue."
Zuo Lingquan took the black stockings with the warmth and fragrance, resisted the impulse and didn't smell it, and put it next to him casually, shook his head and said:
"The Queen Mother, I promised to take off one piece of clothes at a time. You should take off your shoes first, and then take off your socks..."
Shangguan Lingye raised his eyes: "Have you ever said you can't take it out? There are so many things, and if you are not happy, you won't be able to finish it."
"Hey, that's not what I mean, keep going."
Zuo Lingquan swept the chess piece into the chess basket, with a smile inexplicably in his eyes. After all, both socks were gone, and if he lost, he would take off the flower carp or the underwear that was very little material. He wanted to see where Shangguan Lingye dared to start.
To be continued...
