Watching chess and losing

The reason why Qiu Zhiqing asked this was naturally not because he liked being abused.

It's because this process of rejuvenation is also a process of the Nine Transformations of the Golden Elixir.

Therefore, Qiu Zhiqing asked his ancestor if he could do it again.

These words made the three of them laugh so much that even Qiu Zhiqing couldn't help but laugh. He had forgotten that there are so many shortcuts in the world.

After laughing, everyone started to continue the discussion.

This is the most special Taoist discussion Qiu Zhiqing has ever seen.

It is normal for Chunyangzi and Zhengyangzi to talk for a while.

But what is rare is the intervention of a third person. Every time the two lose two pieces, Tieguai Li will make one for him, and he is the kind who specializes in causing trouble.

In other words, they not only have to guard against the opponent's chess pieces, but also guard against their own chess pieces causing trouble.

At first, Qiu Zhiqing just thought it was interesting to play chess like this. After all, he had never seen three people playing Go before, and this was his first time.

It turns out that Go can still be played like this...

Gradually, Qiu Zhiqing discovered the clues.

Both of them are building their own world of laws while attacking their opponent's world of laws.

At the same time, the existence of Tieguai Li also requires them to prevent destruction from their own world.

This has become a strange situation. Both sides need to constantly stabilize themselves while destroying the opposite world of rules.

The three of them were like this, slowly making moves, and Qiu Zhiqing watched with great interest.

It is indeed a high-end gameplay for the big guys. How come he couldn’t think of such a gameplay?

As he watched, he suddenly saw a woodcutter next to him. Qiu Zhiqing ignored it and just looked at it. However, Tieguai Li was kind enough and gave him a pill to eat as a jelly bean.

After all, he is also a spectator, so he cannot be allowed to die here.

Otherwise, they, a group of gods, tricked a mortal to death, and there is no way they can justify it.

The three of them moved slowly like this, under the gaze of the two spectators, but maintained a certain rhythm.

As time goes by, the sun rises and sets, the flowers bloom and fade, the cold comes and the heat comes...

Unconsciously, sixty years have passed by in a blink of an eye, and this game of chess has finally been played.

In terms of victory or defeat... there seems to be no victory or defeat. If we really want to say who wins and who loses, it might be more appropriate to say that Tieguai Li, the outsider who played chess, lost.

Because it can be said that he is specifically engaged in destruction, or he is destroying it from within.

The fact that the two of them can play chess shows that Tieguai Li's Taoism is worse than that of Chunyangzi and Zhengyangzi.

The three of them did not speak immediately, even Qiu Zhiqing was silently comprehending.

But it was the woodcutter's words that broke the silence of the bamboo forest:

"Oh~ my ax..."

At this time, the woodcutter saw that the firewood he had brought back had rotted into mud, and the ax he used to chop the firewood had long since lost its handle, leaving only a rusty iron axe.

This shows how ruthless and terrifying the passage of time is.

Qiu Zhiqing planned to attack this guy.

"It's normal. It's been sixty years, and there's still an ax head left in the axe. It's pretty good. Although it's rusty, it's not a big problem. It can still be used if you go back and sharpen it..."

"Ah... Oops..."

After hearing what Qiu Zhiqing said, the woodcutter screamed in disbelief.

Then, as if he thought of something, he threw away the rusty ax and ran down the mountain at full speed.

"Hahaha……"

The three of them burst into laughter again, and Qiu Zhiqing discovered that they all seemed to like laughing.

It made Qiu Zhiqing want to laugh a little.

"You little naughty boy, no wonder people say that you are not a good person because you hang out with the boys from Zhang Tianshi's family. It turns out that you are really bad and bad."

This is what Zheng Yangzi, Zhong Liquan, who loves to laugh the most, said.

Tieguai Li also smiled and said: "It's only been half a year, so you have to tease others by saying that it's been sixty years. Chunyang, you, my disciple, do have some of your demeanor back then..."

Huh?

Could it be that Grandmaster Chunyangzi was also the one back then?

Seeing Qiu Zhiqing looking at himself with this look.

Sure enough, Chunyangzi has a lot of face... and has weathered many hardships.

It's also a bit awkward.

"You boy, what kind of look is that? And you guys, don't talk nonsense. I think what Chong He said is right. It's been half a year outside, but he is really watching me waiting to play chess. He has been watching me for sixty years. What's wrong?

Is there any?"

Look, what you say makes a lot of sense.

Qiu Zhiqing just said it after sixty years, and he believed it.

But the key point is that Qiu Zhiqing didn't say where sixty years had passed.

"Yes, Xiaodao just kindly reminded him that it is normal for an ax to have some rust after sixty years, but in the end he ran away without asking anything..."

Qiu Zhiqing spread his hands and said that every word of the story was true...

The crowd burst into laughter again. They really like to laugh and are very carefree.

Unfortunately, this is not Qiu Zhiqing's happiness.

After being absent from work for more than half a year, he had to go back to work.

If he doesn't go back, he will be reported and kicked out of the team.

After bidding farewell to his ancestor and two seniors, Qiu Zhiqing went directly to Qiantang. After all, it had been more than half a year, and he didn't know how the arrangements were at Mu Zha's place.

Have you designed any plot for their Arhat?

After all, even if I return to the immortal world to consult the Bodhisattva, it won't take many years.

Naturally, Muzha had come back a long time ago, and he had come back a few months ago, with the latest plan given by the Bodhisattva.

Let Bai Suzhen serve in prison for a few more years. If this happens, even Fa Hai can't untie her knot and return to Lingshan with her meritorious deeds completed.

That's easy to handle, can't you think about it?

If you can't think about it, then stop thinking about it and go back and continue reincarnation!

Simple and crude, good for everyone.

Originally, he wanted to wait for Qiu Zhiqing to come back and plan together. Unfortunately, this guy went away for some reason. He was gone for several months and then came back on his own.

Judging from the fact that the body was covered with a layer of ash, this guy hadn't been back for at least several months.

If he hadn't come back in time, his body would have been buried by Xu Jiaorong.

It was also a coincidence that he came back. The neighbors were all pointing and saying that Mr. Qiu inside had not opened the door for more than a month.

Although there were times when the store was not open for a month and a half before, this is the only time it has been open for such a long time.

Everyone said that Mr. Qiu is probably dead, after all, he is so old.

I heard that back then, more than 20 years ago, he looked like this.

More than 20 years have passed and nothing has changed except that my hair has turned gray.

Everyone agreed that Mr. Qiu had gone.

They called Xu Jiaorong, who was also Qiu Zhiqing's student at that time, and called for the door. But it couldn't be opened, so they had to find a strong young man to climb over the wall and open the door from the inside.

Just when Xu Jiaorong was planning to find Li Gongfu to climb over the wall and get in.

Mu Zha is back, and his identity is Qiu Zhiqing's distant peer.

To be honest, Qiu Zhiqing took advantage. After all, Mu Zha was several thousand years older than him in terms of age.

However, this is not how the neighborhood talks about it.

So I came up with the identity of a distant cousin. Although it seems that the age difference is a bit big, it is not a big problem, let alone this era, even in later generations.

There are a lot of people of the same generation but with age differences of several dozen years.

There is also a young man in his twenties waiting for the birth of his uncle in the hospital.

When they saw Muzha, no one suspected anything and just let him climb over the wall and get in.

Not long after, Mu Zha opened the door and said that Qiu Zhiqing had gone out to visit friends, and wanted to send him away.
