Just when Gui Wujiu and others are still on the last step from the teleportation array, there is another story on the other side.
Twelve years ago, the entrance to the Yin Yang Cave Heaven Martial Arts Land was more than 700 miles southwest.
The light was bright and the sky was like a wash. A giant bird with six wings and four legs, about seventy or eighty feet long from head to tail, was slowly flying in the sky.
The wings of this giant bird change from black to white from the tips of the wings, and the color gradually becomes lighter. The back, body, head, neck, and feet are all the color of gray stone, simple and lacking in sharpness. There is no sharpness in the eyes.
The sharpness of ordinary birds makes it impossible to see the difference between the pupils and the whites of the eyes, which are chaotic and dull.
It is difficult to say what species this bird is; however, its flight speed is very slow, probably no more than two to three hundred miles per hour.
At this speed, it would take two or three hours to escape for a mere 700 miles.
In the middle of the bird's back, it carries a semi-open cyan loft, which has an ancient appearance and its own style.
Looking closely, you can see that although the attic is only two or three feet high, it is divided into two floors. On the uppermost floor, there are simple tables, chairs, and a pavilion. In the middle is a square pool. In the middle of the pool, there is a red silk thread.
There are nineteen vertical and horizontal buckles, obviously turning it into a larger chessboard.
On the east and west sides of the pool, there were two people sitting there, their eyes focused on the pool, their eyes bright and their manners serious.
After about ten breaths, the man in the east seat stretched out his hand and took out a "chess piece" the size of a steamed bun from a pottery urn about five or six feet away, and dropped it into the pool.
Vertical and horizontal places.
But the strange thing is that as soon as the "chess piece" fell into the water, it was like a honey ball that melted in the mouth and immediately fell into pieces.
Looking more closely, this chess piece did not turn into juice and spread out, but transformed into a ball the size of a mustard seed, like an insect egg.
A mere chess piece can be scattered into thousands.
If you look closely at the "chessboard", you will see that it is not a hundred and ten chess pieces that are clear and black; instead, there are countless dust particles, intertwined with each other, wandering and fighting in the water. If there is any loss, they will fall to the bottom of the water like mud chips and will never be seen again.
What's even better is that the thousands of fine eggs that each "child" turned into before have subtle differences in the color, speed, and even the frequency of attenuation of battle damage when the two armies confront each other. They are not all the same.
Worlds, full of wonders.
This type of chess game, called the "Recording Method of Military Exercises", is a chess game that is popular among many ethnic groups in the southeastern part of the world.
It can be said that in the human realm, no matter in the world of immortals, the two armies are deduced by playing chessboard, and the confrontation between the two countries can be said to have its origins and has a long history.
Among them, the most conventional method is to use one chess piece to represent a thousand people, reduce the units, and display them on the chessboard.
However, as a result, the total number of chess pieces on both sides is only a few hundred, and there are inevitably many subtle and mysterious changes that cannot be accurately and truly presented.
This "Recording Method of Military Exercises" came into being. With the help of an insect egg called "Siye Insect", not only one son can be transformed into a thousand, but also one soldier and one soldier, and even strong soldiers, weak soldiers, surprise soldiers, and ambush soldiers.
, the characteristics of strong soldiers can also be simulated one by one, which can be said to combine battle situation deduction and game theory to the maximum extent.
The man in the east seat has a majestic appearance and is as gentle as jade. However, his complexion is slightly darker, and the bridge of his nose seems to be slightly straighter. If he were to cross the line by a point or two, he would inevitably look a little sinister; but he is wearing a emerald-feathered green robe, with a pair of robes resting on his knees.
A feather fan, rich clothes, and a calm expression. In the end, his mental state was not stripped back and turned from yang to yin.
The sunspot just now fell from him.
The man opposite to the west is a middle-aged man with a square face and short hair. He should make the move at this time.
Although the situation in the chess game was very complicated, the middle-aged man didn't seem to think about it for too long. He immediately took out a piece from another pottery urn, dropped it into the interlaced threads of the pool, and turned into thousands of soldiers, occupying the key points.
.
Looking at the situation of the chess game, although the black and white sides are actually similar, there is no doubt that black has taken the initiative.
Taking advantage of the situation where White's big dragon has not yet finished its life, there is no need to forcefully slay the dragon, just step by step, push forward, and use the threat that threatens White's main force to search and nibble enough benefits, and finally win in one fell swoop.
After not waiting for long, the young man in the east seat showed his ease again.
When the child fell into the pool, the situation suddenly changed.
It turns out that the young man did not follow the seemingly best threat of expulsion, a distant attack plan, and a concise closing move; instead, he sent a thousand strange soldiers into the key points where most of Bai Zi's survival was, blocking the door and shockingly.
Want to fight to the death.
Slay the dragon.
This is an extremely risky move.
According to common sense, White was already at a disadvantage. Now Black does not choose to win steadily, but intends to slay the dragon. Instead, it gives White a chance. This should be what the middle-aged man holding White would like to see.
One hand.
But what was unexpected was that after seeing this hand, the middle-aged man's eyes suddenly flashed with light, as if he had expected it; he immediately closed his eyes, as if he was in a dream, thinking over and over again like savoring a delicacy.
Finally, the middle-aged man raised his hand, took a deep breath, and said loudly: "Good!"
"Dongshan was finally able to get a glimpse of the master's mastery of this move and the changes in his mood deduced from it. It's really... a sight to behold."
The young man smiled slightly.
In terms of cultivation, the young man in the east seat holding the black one is only at the Nascent Soul realm; while the middle-aged man sitting opposite the white one is equivalent to the realm of the transformed spirit.
But the middle-aged man called the young man his teacher, which was really strange.
The young man's name is Zhenshi, and the middle-aged man's name is Dongshan. They are the blood descendants of a demon clan called the "Lifu Clan" in the far east; they only often appear in human form and do not reveal their true colors.
Just now, Zhenshi and Dongshan were not really playing chess, but were deducing a story with the help of "actual recording of military exercises".
In terms of cultivation level, Zhenshi may not be able to beat Shen Tuhong and Zong Zhengsi of the Red Mei Clan, let alone Ma Yuan and Kong Xuan, who are among the top five of the Monster Clan; but he has his own advantages, among his own clan
’s position can be said to be of great importance.
The emerging talents of each family, apart from Gui Wujiu, who adheres to the Peacock Saint Ancestor's entrustment of "obeying the advice" and has a very important status; the rest, whether they are Xun Shen, Lu Chengwen, Xi Zhenzi, Master Li, or the demon clan Ma Yuan,
Although Kong Xuan, Shen Tuhong and Zong Zhengsi have extraordinary qualifications, their cultivation is still low and it will take some time before they can take charge of the overall situation.
Their time is coming, but it is not now.
But the young man in front of him, Zhen Shi, is not only blameless, but also another person who has the absolute right to speak for his family and clan in the current state.
Moreover, unlike Gui Wujiu who relied on the authority of the Peacock Saint Ancestor, this Admonition Stone relied on his own special abilities to establish his prestige in one major event of his clan in the past hundred years.
It’s a long story.
For millions of years, the Lifu tribe and a race called the "Xiaogu tribe" have been at odds with each other and have been fighting constantly.
When it comes to the divine channeling skills of a single clan member, the Xiaogu clan is actually slightly better; but when it comes to careful planning and clan layout, the Lifu clan’s long-term methodical arrangements have the upper hand. In the end, the battle took place twenty years ago.
Successfully, it completely annihilated the Xiaogu clan and absorbed most of the Xiaogu clan’s heritage.
Nowadays, although the Lifu Clan is not among the Eight True Five Wonders, their strength has expanded to a quite astonishing level. At the time when the Monster Clan is finalizing its products, there may not be any chance of soaring into the sky.
Among them, the final battle to annihilate the Xiaogu tribe is particularly commendable; its situation is just as shown in the "actual recording of military exercises" on the chessboard.
After more than 100,000 years of long-term planning, the Lifu tribe has clearly gained an advantage in terms of their own heritage and comprehensive strength. According to the plan of the elders of the tribe, several lines were launched at the same time, and the force of embezzlement was like a torrent that could not be hindered.
The so-called cannibalization strategy to swallow up the stubborn enemy, which is best known as a conspiracy, will definitely defeat the Xiaogu clan in hundreds of years, swallow them up, and accept them.
It's just that it may take a little longer to do this, like a slow simmer.
But Zhenshi raised objections.
The strategy he proposed was to use surprise troops to stand out, penetrate deep into the enemy's rear, and finally cooperate with the inside and outside to achieve a successful battle. Within a few years, the Xiaogu clan could be wiped out in one fell swoop.
This strategy is very bold. It should be noted that although the clan's background has improved, but in a head-on confrontation and hand-to-hand combat, with the Lifu clan's ability, there is no absolute chance of victory.
In the end, after careful consideration, the Lifu clan leader adopted Zhenshi's suggestion.
Achieve success and fame in one fell swoop.
The advantages and disadvantages between the two strategies are not just about the length of time. Due to the sudden nature of this strategy, the Xiaogu clan’s original plan to retreat was hidden deep in the background, and the secrets of many clans that intended to make a comeback were not properly arranged, but they were eliminated.
The complete capture of the Fu clan greatly enriched the strength of the Fu clan.
If we use cannibalism, we can guarantee victory, but if the opponent continues to resist and clear the country, the final gain will be much less.
The head of the Lifu tribe and the elders of the tribe are all mature people; it takes courage to finally trust the opinions of a young man - even though this person is a leader in the clan and has the best hope for the future.
In the Taoist sect, when the various tribes of humans and demons make the final decision, in addition to the struggle of intellectual calculation, they often rely on the way of heaven, that is, calculation and deduction.
For example, when Gui Wujiu traveled to the Peacock Clan, he gained a lot of knowledge in this way.
No matter how high your intelligence is and how profound your calculations are, the evolution of the human world can be said to be full of twists and turns, and the severity is so different that it is difficult to describe it with common sense. When the situation changes, looking back, the world has changed. Therefore, it is related to the general trend, "wisdom" and "wisdom".
Calculating the path is not enough to rely on. You have to get a glimpse of the secret before you can take reassurance.
However, Zhenshi is good at a mental method, which is able to observe changes in the situation based on human calculations. It is known as "human calculations can defeat heaven", which is the most remarkable. This is also the reason why he can win the trust.
The individual strength of the Xiaogu tribe is superior to that of the Lifu tribe. This is a view that has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people for thousands of years. Even the leader and elders of the Lifu tribe cannot shake it in the slightest.
However, Zhenshi was able to discern mysteries and boldly use equal forces to go deep behind the enemy's rear and complete the feat of defeating the enemy with one blow. Afterwards, others seemed to enjoy talking about it and found it interesting; but at that moment, it was his thoughts
The feat of calculating paths, breaking through knowledge and prejudice, and seeing through changing trends.
If the mind can break through the limitations of existing experience, it will reach a wonderful state.
It is said that there is no priority in learning, and those who have mastered it are the teachers. Dongshan is now a middle-aged man in the realm of gods. He happens to be a rare person among the Lifu tribe who has some talent for the method of "mental arithmetic and observation of situations", so he worships under the Zhenshi Gate.
, he will also be a pillar of the family in the future.
The deduction of the "actual recording method of military exercises" in the pool simulated the battle of the Lifu tribe to annihilate Xiaogu, and cultivated Dongshan's instantaneous grasp of the situation based on "mental arithmetic".
Seeing Dongshan enter the situation, Zhenshi seemed very satisfied and nodded slowly.
Neither of them made any move. After waiting for a while, Zhen Shi waved his hand, and two young women on the hanging ladder at the bottom of Fei Pavilion slowly stepped forward, each presenting them with fine wines.
The two masters and apprentices, whose cultivation levels were at a disadvantage, drank from each other.
In this duel between the two people in the human realm, as the guests invited by the ancestral court of the Holy Cult, the direct descendants of each Nascent Soul Realm are trying to explore the reality, thinking that they are outposts. Although they can collect a lot of information, in the end the family has made a plan.
, it still requires someone from the Heavenly Mysterious Realm, the Demon King Realm, or even a deeper level of cultivation within the sect to make the decision.
The only exception is the Lifu Clan's Zhenshi.
He was not only the one who participated personally, but also the one who made the final decision.
Moreover, what he saw was deeper and further.
After a while, the middle-aged man Dongshan said: "Those two people in the human world, no matter how heroic they are, have nothing to do with our clan. They are just watching the fun; but it is said that they are like the Peacock clan, the Chimei clan, the Tianma clan, etc.
More than half of the demon clan, ranked among the thirteen families of the Eight Immortals and Five Wonders, are here to attend this meeting. When the time comes, with my master's vision and ability to calculate the path, we will be able to see clearly whether our Fu clan is worthy of being among them.
"
Zhenshi drank a cup of red fruit pulp and said calmly: "Why bother to explore this matter? After swallowing the owl valley, our clan's current strength will definitely rank among the top 13 among the hundreds of powerful demon clans."
Dongshan was stunned at first, and then he was greatly surprised and said: "Seriously?"
Thinking that after the Monster Clan is finalized, the Lifu Clan may be able to seize one of the Eight Immortals and Five Wonders. With this race flourishing, a burst of blood can't help but appear on the face of Dongshan.
But when he took a closer look, Zhenshi's face was expressionless, and it was difficult to distinguish between sadness and joy. For a moment, he only felt astonished and incomprehensible.
After more than ten breaths, Zhenshi sighed, pointed to the pond in front of him that looked like a chessboard, and said lightly: "For example, in the middle of a game of chess, if you are half a piece ahead, can you applaud and celebrate?"
Dongshan frowned and pondered, "Mid-game? Middle-game..."
"Master means..."
Zhenshi said lightly: "There are still at least hundreds of years before the dust settles. Do you think that this product-definition battle will end calmly?"
"So, if you think of the mission of this trip as 'exploring the real and the real, and distinguishing between superior and inferior', then you are falling into the trap of common sense, and it is actually completely meaningless."
Dongshan thought thoughtfully and said: "What the teacher means is to go one step further and join forces to lay the foundation for the next battle..."
Zhenshi smiled slightly and said: "Let's take advantage of the situation and see if it works...it's already here."
Just when Dongshan was slightly startled, a voice came from a distance of twenty or thirty miles directly in front of the six-winged bird: "Meng Lun, a high-ranking lineage of the holy religion, please pay attention to me, fellow Taoist."
The sound is like the essence of the dome, the reflections are intertwined, and every detail is revealed, just like the cultivation of the Tianxuan realm.
ps: It’s not all good yet. But I really couldn’t wait any longer, so I decided to persevere even though I was sick. It may be hard to get used to it at first, and the text proofreading may not be in place. But with practice, I believe it will get better.
