Chapter One Hundred and Fifty Two
Near dawn, the Xinghe Sect's expedition team set up camp on the road after dark. Except for the soldiers on patrol, the rest of the soldiers were still sleeping. Gu Xifeng fell from the sky at night. After the soldiers on patrol checked him, he walked in alone.
In the temporary camp.
After Gu Xifeng made some inquiries in the camp, he found the camp where the head coach Chen Yaoguang was located. After the soldiers of the Pojun Camp on duty outside entered the camp and announced, Gu Xifeng was allowed to enter the camp.
This tent is no different from other tents in the camp. It is very ordinary both from the outside and from the inside. At this time, Chen Yaoguang did not fall asleep, but stared at a chessboard alone in a daze. The chessboard was filled with chess pieces.
Anyone who knows chess will know at a glance that this is a rare chess game, called embattled on all sides.
When Chen Yaoguang saw Gu Xifeng come in, he waved to him and said, "Xifeng, you are back, come and see how to play this chess game?"
Gu Xifeng has studied with Sun Zheping since he was a child, and he is quite familiar with the art of chess. At that time, he had a few games with Lu Feidi, the top scholar in Ningguan City, and he gained a lot. Now he is not proficient in chess, but
Nor is he a layman.
This embattled situation is so famous that even a kid who is just learning chess knows it.
This chess game was created by a chess fanatic who was almost a saint hundreds of years ago. This chess game is extremely unfair to the two pieces of black and white.
If you know how to play chess and hold the black chess piece, you can beat the chess master.
This kind of situation is impossible to occur in normal chess games, except when a layman plays against a chess master. It is very unlikely that such a situation will occur until the chess master has laid out his plan for a long, long time.
Gu Xifeng had only briefly read the chess record of this embattled chess game before, and did not study it seriously. Now he carefully observed the chess game. The two of them did not speak for a long time, and time passed bit by bit.
Gu Xifeng carefully observed the chess game and after deducing it in his mind many times, cold sweat began to break out on his face.
Gu Xifeng asked in confusion: "What was the purpose of that chess fanatic in creating this chess game? Is it just to let us latecomers admire his chess skills?"
Chen Yaoguang stroked his beard and said calmly: "It is recorded in the ancient books of Xinghe Sect that this chess idiot once said that whoever can solve the chess game will be the chess immortal. Now it seems that he means that if he has it, he can break the game.
With his chess power, it only takes a thought to transform him into a saint."
Chen Yaoguang picked up the white piece and tried to make a move, but he quickly took back the piece. He smiled bitterly and said: "This chess idiot has never solved this chess game in his whole life, and he has never stepped into the realm of chess saints until his death.
The fact that everyone can’t solve it shows how difficult this chess game is.”
"I don't know how many chess masters have studied this game over hundreds of years, but no one has ever been able to truly solve the problem."
Gu Xifeng raised his head, glanced at Chen Yaoguang, and asked, "Master Headmaster, can this game of chess really transform you into a saint? I always find it a bit unbelievable to become a saint by relying on your skills."
Chen Yaoguang just nodded slightly and did not answer the question. Instead, he continued to stare at the chessboard with all his concentration, his face becoming increasingly serious.
Gu Xifeng suddenly realized that the headmaster was not studying the art of chess. This situation of being surrounded on all sides was clearly the dilemma facing the Xinghe Sect today.
Nowadays, Taichu is surrounded by powerful enemies, and these enemies may even have colluded together. Emperor Taichu is controlled by the enemies, and Lin Chuhe's million-strong army has no time to come back to help. Any action taken by the Xinghe Sect may lead to an irreversible situation.
Gu Xifeng fell into deep thought. He found that both the chess game and the situation facing the Galaxy Sect were almost dead ends, unless...
He suddenly interrupted Chen Yaoguang's thoughts and said: "Master Headmaster, I have a way to end this situation of being besieged on all sides."
When Chen Yaoguang heard this, a strange look flashed on his face and he said, "Come and tell me!"
Gu Xifeng said seriously: "Since we can't break the game, it's better to give up this game and start over!"
Chen Yaoguang looked as if he was like this, and sighed softly and said: "Giving up is easier said than done. If you start over, will this chess game be the same as before? Besides, your opponent will not allow you to admit defeat until you lose the whole game."
Gu Xifeng was silent. He didn't know how to answer the question for a moment.
Although the two people were talking about the chess game, they both knew that they were talking about more than just the chess game.
"Forget it, don't worry about this chess game." Chen Yaoguang waved his arm and the chessboard disappeared out of thin air. Gu Xifeng was not surprised. He knew that this was the Galaxy Sect's secret treasure, the Universe Bracelet. Back then, he had seen Huang Xinxin take away the Universe Bracelet.
Passing the body of the dragon on Moyun Mountain.
Chen Yaoguang smiled and said: "It seems that this chess game is not something you and I can solve. Let's do what we can. How is the situation in Kaiyuan City?"
Gu Xifeng carefully told Chen Yaoguang the information he had discovered. When it was mentioned that the Qinghe people had the help of saints to take action in the palace, Gu Xifeng observed Chen Yaoguang's reaction while talking.
Chen Yaoguang didn't look shocked at all, but said with some regret: "It seems that the Taichu Nine Swords Formation has indeed been defeated. I don't know if Xing Lan can survive."
He paused and said in deep thought: "But I don't know who the saint was who defeated the Taichu Nine Swords Formation. I have never heard of a saint appearing in Qinghe Kingdom."
Gu Xifeng thought in his mind and said: "Master Headmaster, could it be the saints from Xinhan or Dongxia who took action? I didn't find any traces of the saints in the palace. Maybe my strength is too low to notice.
Feel the breath of a saint."
Chen Yaoguang shook his head slightly and said seriously: "The saint is most likely not in the palace, otherwise you will not be able to escape the saint's induction with your concealment skills. Xifeng, you are taking too much risk this time. No saint can underestimate you!"
Gu Xifeng felt ashamed and said, "It was the disciple who rushed in."
"I don't blame you for this. Even I have never met many saints. It's normal for you not to understand. However, you must be cautious when dealing with saints, otherwise you won't be so lucky next time." Chen Yaoguang said seriously.
said.
Gu Xifeng saluted respectfully and said, "Disciple, please obey the teachings."
Then he said again with some worry: "Now that we know that the Qinghe people have the help of saints, the sect should take a long-term view on whether to attack Kaiyuan City this time."
Chen Yaoguang heard this and said proudly: "It's just a saint. Our Xinghe Sect has our own means to deal with it. We will drive these Qinghe barbarians out of Taichu tomorrow, and even the saint can't stop them!"
These words made Gu Xifeng feel reassured. He was a little tired after a hard night's work. He said goodbye to Chen Yaoguang and left, finding the tent where everyone in the Seven Kills Camp was staying to rest.
After Gu Xifeng left, Chen Yaoguang said to himself with a heavy look of worry: "Qinghe, Xinhan, Dongxia and possibly Xiyao. This is the man behind the chaos in the world who has appeared again, and his target is Taichu."
? Or there is also the Galaxy Sect..."
At ten o'clock noon on the third day when the Qinghe army occupied Kaiyuan City, the black eagle that had appeared the day before hovered over Kaitian City again. This time it was daytime, and soon a Qinghe master discovered it.
Even though Seiwa Shikigami can float in the air, the Shikigami cannot be too far away from the Master, and the high altitude where Black Eagle is located cannot be reached by ordinary Shikigami. After the appearance of Black Eagle, it attracted the attention of a large number of Seiwa's defenders.
The black hawk slowly lowered down as if provoking. As the black hawk got closer and closer to the ground, the god master finally couldn't help it any longer.
"Shikigami: Ghost Infant Bird!" With a chant, a shikigami with two wings soared into the sky and headed straight for the Black Eagle.
The strength of this shikigami is about the late stage of Jinjin. Although it has wings, it has the face of a baby. This face is not as pink and kind as a baby, but is extremely cold and ugly. It can actually stay away from the emperor.
The Master flew high into the sky.
A short, child-like divine master above the ground snorted and shouted: "Send the spirit!"
Then a beam of light appeared around the divine master, and she lost consciousness.
The shikigami that originally made a piercing cry of a baby suddenly stopped making any sound, and that ugly face stared at the black hawk coldly with disdain.
"Baby ghost cry!" Shikigami ghost baby bird said coldly, and then a sharp and terrifying baby cry came from Shikigami's mouth. Gu Xifeng was a little better. Ye's body froze obviously after hearing this terrible sound, and he almost almost
Fall down.
Under Huang Xin's training, Gu Xifeng's ability to withstand various blows was extremely strong, and small sonic attacks could not cause any real damage to him.
Seeing that Ye could not resist the sound wave, Gu Xifeng immediately activated the protective form of Ye's armor, and Ye immediately returned to normal.
Seeing that the attack failed, the ghost baby bird immediately galloped towards Ye. Its speed was not slow, and it quickly arrived in front of Ye. Naturally, it had already discovered Gu Xifeng on Ye's back, and it naturally knew that Gu Xifeng was talented.
It was the target that should be killed first, and it was heading straight towards Gu Xifeng.
"Ghost Flying Crane Slash!" Its two wings were covered with a layer of black sharp edges and it slashed towards Gu Xifeng.
Gu Xifeng's two war-stopping daggers fell into his hands from his sleeves and easily blocked the attack of the Ghost Infant Bird.
"Shikigami: Ghost Riding Bird! Send the spirit!" A Qinghe woman stood next to the child-like divine master and suddenly chanted.
Another shikigami with wings soared into the sky and soon appeared in front of Gu Xifeng.
The appearance of this shikigami is much better than that of the ghost baby bird. It has a bird head, similar to that of a crane. Except for the arms that turned into wings, it has the body of a woman. It is dressed in plain gray cloth.
It doesn't look scary.
The attack methods of the two bird shikigami are similar. They both use their wings to turn into blades to attack the enemy. This ghost chariot bird is also in the late stage of Jingjin realm.
Gu Xifeng struggled a bit with one against two, but the situation was still under control.
This air battle lasted for a long time, and many Qinghe soldiers couldn't help but look into the sky. At this time, a large number of soldiers and cavalry suddenly appeared in the north, and the Xinghe Sect army had arrived!
The Qinghe Army, who were still peeking at the aerial battle, immediately became alert, "Enemy attack, be on guard!" Someone kept shouting loudly. These enemies immediately attracted the attention of the Qinghe Army. Everyone was ready to prepare, and a large number of Qinghe masters also rushed to the Qingding Gate after hearing the news.
At this time, the city gates were closed tightly and the suspension bridge on the moat was retracted. The Qinghe army had a geographical advantage.
When the Xinghe Sect army approached Kaiyuan City, a large number of giant eagles and cranes appeared in the sky. The Qinghe army's attention was focused on the cavalry and soldiers. These birds and spiritual beasts were not discovered until they had begun to fall. It was too late to stop them.
Yes, several people fell directly from the sky and landed in the city or on the city wall.
