Liang Yan was amazed by the man in the bamboo hat. Since he couldn't see through the other person's cultivation level, he could only refer to him as "senior".
He did not dare to lose his etiquette, and bowed respectfully behind the man, and then said: "Senior helped me, and I am very grateful to you. Now that the North and the South are fighting, is it possible that I am also a member of the same camp?"
Liang Yan had many doubts in his heart. Although he did not dare to directly ask the other party's origins and background, he still had to ask about his position.
Unexpectedly, the man remained sitting still, with his back to the two of them, as if an old monk was in trance, without any response.
Liang Yan frowned slightly, and looked at Wu Xin, feeling a little strange.
"senior?"
Wu Xin also called out, but there was also no response.
There was silence for a long time, Liang Yan's face gradually darkened, and finally he took a step towards where the man in the bamboo hat was.
After walking ten steps forward, Liang Yan suddenly discovered that there was a jade chessboard in front of the man in the bamboo hat, but it was blocked by him just now, and neither Liang Yan nor Wu Xin's consciousness could notice it.
There are nineteen vertical and horizontal lines on the chessboard, black and white are intertwined, it’s the endgame!
"Huh?"
Liang Yan's consciousness was involuntarily attracted to the chessboard, and he actually automatically ignored the appearance of the man in the bamboo hat and looked straight at the chessboard.
I saw that the white chess was invading like fire, and the black chess was endless. Both chess positions contained great mysteries. They were not just interpretations of the chess game, but seemed to contain the evolution of heaven's destiny!
“Good chess, good chess”
The more Liang Yan watched, the more fascinated he became. He unconsciously put himself into the white chess piece. He felt that every move had infinite changes, and he had completely suppressed the black chess piece in the situation.
"This guy has a great chance of winning!"
Liang Yan's face was excited, his eyes flashed, and he was immersed in the chess game both physically and mentally, secretly deducing the next move.
At this moment, he thought of more than a dozen ways to play, each of which could kill Black.
At this moment, the man in the bamboo hat, who had been sitting still, suddenly raised his hand and pointed to a certain position on the chessboard.
Liang Yan was a little excited at first, but when his eyes fell on the spot pointed by the man in the bamboo hat, he suddenly felt a chill running down his spine and couldn't help but widen his eyes.
"This, this is."
Liang Yan was speechless.
Because with the finger of the man in the bamboo hat, the situation of the chess game was reversed, and the white chess piece no longer had any chance of survival!
"How could this happen? Obviously"
Liang Yan wanted to say something more, but found that he was unable to form words, because all these changes seemed to contain the rules of heaven. White's defeat was due to luck, and even the subsequent evolution of the chess game had already been deduced by the chess player.
among.
Cold sweat gradually broke out on my forehead!
"Impossible, impossible!"
Liang Yan seemed to be in a daze. He was immersed in the chess game, trying to find a way out for the white chess piece.
In a trance, the surrounding scenery is spinning, the mountains and rivers are changing, and the stars are moving!
He himself became a member of Bai Zi, fighting on this huge battlefield, all kinds of conspiracies, intrigues, intrigues, and the generous lament, the iron-blooded clank.
Billions of living beings, using their own music of life, compose the magnificent struggle between the North and the South!
However, everything seems to have been decided long ago.
As a chess piece, no matter how high your cultivation level is, it is just a dream.
According to the trend on the chessboard, this battle between black and white has only one ending, and that is the destruction of all white stones!
Liang Yan racked his brains, exhausted his calculations, and deduced hundreds of possibilities, but none of them could save the white chess piece. No matter how he planned it, it would be a dead end in the end.
I don’t know how much time passed.
Plop!
There was a muffled sound, but Liang Yan came to his senses from the chess game and fell to the ground.
"How could it end like this? How could it end like this? If that's the case, then what is the purpose of everything we have done so far?"
At this moment, Liang Yan was like a confused child, unconsciously asking the confusion in his heart.
"Alas, the number of days has been determined and cannot be changed."
With a sigh, a familiar voice sounded in my ears.
Liang Yan suddenly woke up, raised his head, and looked up from bottom to top. This time he finally saw the face of the man in the bamboo hat clearly.
Although he had only seen this face a few times, it left a deep impression on him.
Linghu Bai!
"City Lord!" Liang Yan shouted out loud.
Wuxin was also surprised and hurriedly came forward. After seeing Linghu Bai, he bowed respectfully.
"The little girl, Ni Jia Yunran, a descendant of the Yu Clan, has met the Lord of Linghu City!"
"You're fine"
Linghu Bai glanced at her, nodded slightly, and then pointed with his hand.
A pill the size of a soybean appeared out of thin air and fell into the mouth of the sky-swallowing insect. The latter's appearance changed rapidly, mysterious runes appeared on its body, and a pair of wings grew out of its back.
"The sky-swallowing insect has unlimited potential and is worth cultivating. If you want to take a further step in your cultivation, I'm afraid you have to rely on this alien insect." Linghu Bai said slowly.
Unintentionally overjoyed.
She had heard about Linghu Bai's magical powers for a long time. Although she didn't know what he fed "Xiao Yan", it was definitely something very beneficial. This was definitely a great opportunity!
"Thank you City Lord Linghu!" Wu Xin said with cupped hands.
"You don't have to thank me. I helped you because of Liang Yan. But what I said next is hard to explain to you."
Linghu Bai's face remained calm from beginning to end, without any disturbance.
As soon as he finished speaking, he waved his sleeves, but he didn't see any abnormality. Unintentionally, he felt himself being blown up by the breeze and flying backwards uncontrollably.
About ten feet away, the breeze slowly dispersed, and Wu Xin's feet landed on the ground.
Looking further forward, I saw clouds and mist lingering under the locust tree. Wherever my spiritual consciousness passed, there was nothingness, and I could no longer sense any breath.
Not only her, but also the Sky Swallowing Insect was confused.
Wu Xin showed a wry smile, held up the Sky Swallowing Insect with his hand, and murmured to himself: "Xiao Yan, Xiao Yan, it turns out you weren't the one who sensed the person, but the person was sensed by you on purpose. What a fool!"
In the mist, Liang Yan and Linghu Bai sat opposite each other.
"City Lord, didn't you participate in the battle of saints in the 'Fallen Immortal Ridge'? Why are you here?"
"This is just a clone of my spiritual thoughts, and I am still in the Fallen Immortal Ridge."
"So that's it." Liang Yan showed a look of surprise, thought for a while, and then said: "The city lord has great magical powers. Even if he is just a spiritual clone, he can break through Tianmu City in a flash. Please take action and help our army."
Clear the roadblocks.”
After hearing this, Linghu Bai smiled slightly and did not answer.
He pointed at the chessboard between the two of them.
"Look at this chess game first. How does the white piece break it?"
"City Lord, please forgive me for being stupid, but there is no solution to this game of chess." Liang Yan said with great certainty.
"You mean, white will lose?"
"Yes." Although he was very reluctant, Liang Yan still expressed his opinion.
After hearing this, Linghu Bai leaned back, and an indescribable complex expression suddenly appeared on his face.
There was a trace of unwillingness, a trace of loneliness, and a trace of relief in that smile?
"Heaven and earth are chessboards, and all living beings are chess pieces!"
Liang Yan suddenly came to his senses and asked hurriedly: "City Lord, are you holding the white piece?"
Linghu Bai nodded silently.
"Who is in charge?"
Linghu Bai said nothing.
"Is there really no way for Bai Zi to survive?" Liang Yan was still unwilling to give up, and said after careful consideration: "What I mean is, has the person who holds the black one really thought that he has exhausted all options and there are no variables?"
This time, Linghu Bai's eyes flashed.
"There is still a way to survive."
Liang Yan was overjoyed after hearing this and asked: "Where is the way to survive?"
Linghu Bai didn't answer, raised his hand to take a white piece, and gently dropped it on the chessboard.
As this piece fell, most of White's pieces were instantly killed or injured!
Liang Yan's eyes widened. He couldn't believe that the way out that Linghu Bai mentioned was actually like this.
"Kill cleanly!"
Linghu Bai slowly spit out two words.
At this moment, the man in a bamboo hat in front of him was no longer ordinary, a terrifying power emanated from him, with a bit of decisive and chilling aura!
Ruthless, truly ruthless!
Liang Yan couldn't see a trace of pity or wavering in his eyes.
"City Lord, what do you mean?" Liang Yan blurted out.
Linghu Bai did not answer, but pointed to the chessboard in front of him.
Liang Yan looked at it intently and found that due to the large number of white pieces being killed, there were infinite variables on the chessboard. The outcome of the chess game, which could have been foreseen, actually became difficult to predict.
"Really alive!"
Liang Yan had an expression of disbelief on his face.
White half committed suicide and actually managed to survive. Although Black still had the upper hand, the original plan was useless.
However, this kind of "living chess" is not what Liang Yan pursues.
"What on earth is Linghu Bai thinking? Could it be that he..."
Liang Yan stared at the chessboard in front of him, suddenly feeling frightened.
Sweat soaked through clothes.
There was a cool breeze blowing around and the spring flowers were blooming, but he felt like he had fallen into an ice cellar!
In his opinion, the Linghu Bai in front of him became a little strange. Or maybe he had never seen this person clearly before?
"In the battle between the North and the South, the situation is treacherous. All living beings are chess pieces, and there are only two people playing chess! Could it be that in order to win, he ordered Hu Bai to risk everything, even the lives of all living beings in Nanxuan?"
Thinking of this, Liang Yan felt extremely depressed and couldn't help but ask: "So, the current war between the north and the south is actually meaningless? Our tens of millions of troops in Nanxuan are just cannon fodder? What is the purpose of asking these people to die?
?”
After Linghu Bai heard this, he was silent for a long time.
It wasn't until a breeze blew by that a few leaves fell from the tree and fell on his bamboo hat, then he slowly spoke:
"You don't understand our opponent."
"I don't understand."
Liang Yan felt heavy, and after thinking for a while he said, "All saints are ants. In your eyes, I must be one of those thousands of chess pieces. Why are you saying this to me?"
"You are different." Linghu Bai shook his head, with an enigmatic smile on his face: "You are my most important chess piece."
Having said this, he suddenly raised his hand and a gentle force enveloped Liang Yan.
Before Liang Yan could react, he felt his storage ring loosen, and then a ray of light flew out and fell on Linghu Bai's hand.
The rays of light dispersed, revealing a banner with the four characters "Order of Ten Thousand Demons" written on it. It was the banner of Ten Thousand Demons that Liang Yan got from Xue Ju!
Linghu Bai didn't say much, and stretched out his hand to touch the Ten Thousand Demons Flag.
He saw countless spiritual lights flashing, and he wiped the layers of restrictions into pieces!
Buzz!
The Wan Yao Banner vibrated violently for a few times, then became motionless and lay quietly in his hand.
"for you."
Linghu Bai handed the Ten Thousand Demons Banner back to Liang Yan and said, "The restriction imposed by the Demon Saint has been removed. From now on, you can control this Ten Thousand Demons Banner."
Liang Yan was overjoyed, but he thought about what Linghu Bai said just now, and there was always a cloud in his heart, so his face was complicated, he took the banner of Ten Thousand Demons, but stopped talking.
"Don't think too much, just follow your heart."
Linghu Bai stood up as he spoke, put his hands behind his back, and looked into the distance leisurely.
His gaze was extremely deep, as if he had passed through mountains and layers of clouds, looking at someone from afar.
Liang Yan was confused and subconsciously stood up, following his gaze and looking forward, but he only saw chaos and blur.
"The white snake crosses the river and the golden bell appears, the purple cloud reflects the sun and shines on the spiritual mountain, the nine-layered clouds sing the music of immortals, the dragon sings and the phoenix chirps and the heaven and earth fall!"
Linghu Bai's melodious voice suddenly sounded next to his ears.
"What's the meaning?"
Liang Yan suddenly woke up and turned around to look, only to find that Linghu Bai was gone!
There was only one remaining voice, distantly coming from the clouds and mist:
"Remember these twenty-eight words of prophecy, and you are the most important, you must survive no matter what!"
"City Lord!"
Liang Yan's expression changed slightly and he ran quickly in the direction of the sound.
He still had too many questions that needed Linghu Bai to answer, but the voice was getting farther and farther away and softer.
Liang Yan flew for tens of feet, and the clouds and mist in front of him suddenly dissipated, and then the fragrant wind blew in his face, and he actually bumped into a soft body.
"You're out!"
The other party did not retreat, but hugged him.
"Um"
Liang Yan looked at Wu Xin in front of him, and then looked around. He saw such a beautiful scenery of gurgling mountain streams, shady green willows, and shrouded clouds and mist, but there was no one else around except the two of them.
"Have you seen the Lord of Linghu City?" Liang Yan still didn't give up.
"No." Wu Xin shook his head and said, "After he sent me out just now, I can no longer sense your presence. Why, has Lord Linghu left?"
"Looks like he's gone." A trace of disappointment flashed in Liang Yan's eyes.
"What did he say to you?" Wu Xin blinked and asked curiously.
Liang Yan did not answer.
He looked at the direction where Linghu Bai disappeared just now. The clouds were covered with fog and everything was so illusory, just like the current battle between the North and the South, which always gave people a feeling that it was not real.
She was unintentional and not stupid. She believed that Liang Yan would not deliberately hide anything from her. If there was something he couldn't tell, it would be better if he didn't know.
"Linghu Bai is a saint who has reached the heavens. He has no secrets. What he just said must be related to the secret of heaven. If more people know about it, there will be more risks. I better not ask."
Thinking of this, Wuxin smiled sweetly and said: "Forget it, if you don't want to say it, don't say it. But it's not advisable to stay here for a long time. Although the Lord of Linghu City has cast a spell to block this area, there is no guarantee that people from Tianmu City will not leave and come back.
The two of us cannot fight against the entire Beiming army, so why don’t we return to the military camp first?”
"Um."
Liang Yan nodded, and the two of them made secret gestures at the same time, hiding themselves and flying towards the direction of Nanxuan Camp.
