"Senior, is he a chess master?" Ye Zhenyu asked tentatively.
"What's wrong with being a senior? But if you want to pass me, you have to play a game of chess with me first." The old man said clearly and calmly.
Ye Zhenyu came and sat down opposite the old man. Xuanyuan Youlan, Lan Ji, Avalokitesvara Buddha, and Dou Shenzhen Buddha stood on both sides.
"Are you the chess master Ma Suiming?" Ye Zhenyu asked again.
The old man had a wisp of beard and said with a smile: "It's the old man!"
Ye Zhenyu stood up and bowed: "Greetings to Senior Chess Saint!"
After Ye Zhenyu finished speaking, he waved his hand and several bottles of happy water appeared in the air. With a push of his hand, they floated towards Chess Master, Guanyin Buddha, Dou Shengfo, Xuanyuan Youlan and Lan Ji respectively.
The chess master took the wine bottle and asked doubtfully: "This is?"
Ye Zhenyu smiled and said: "Senior, please have a taste of the immortal brew in the world!"
The chess master raised his head and took a sip. A refreshing feeling spread throughout his body, and he was ecstatic: "Yeah! It tastes good! It tastes good! But don't try to bribe me with this thing. You have to show some real skills."
I won’t show mercy! You are a junior, so I’ll let you go first!”
"Senior, accept!" Ye Zhenyu held the black piece and dropped it onto the chessboard. It looked like a small chessboard. When the chess piece fell, it seemed as if he had entered another void world. The chessboard became extremely vast, and the strong wind roared.
Thousands of troops and horses. Ye Zhenyu calmed down, circulated his true energy, resisted the pressure of the saints from the chess master's side, and dropped a word.
The chess master picked it up at his fingertips, and without much effort, he easily landed a piece, one black and one white. To outsiders, Ye Zhenyu and the chess master were just playing an ordinary black and white game. Only Ye Zhenyu knew the mystery of this black and white chessboard.
It is a world of its own. Each chess piece is an army. The troops are arranged in formation. Outside the game, it is calm and unruffled. Inside the chess game, it is indeed earth-shattering and the battles continue. Although Ye Zhenyu’s cultivation level is higher than that of the chess saint Ma Suiming, for
However, his chess skills are not as sharp as those of the chess master, and his use of Confucian and Taoist techniques is not as good as that of the chess master. Therefore, in the duel, the winner cannot be determined for a while.
In the blink of an eye, the four corners were covered with flags. Ye Zhenyu was at a disadvantage and there were beads of sweat on his forehead. Every time he dropped a flag, Ye Zhenyu had to consume a lot of Qi. With his strong Qi, he could defeat all methods with one force. In the middle game, Ye Zhenyu
As he became proficient in chess skills and understood Confucianism and Taoism, he gradually regained some momentum and became evenly matched with the chess master.
Xuanyuan Youlan, Lan Ji, and Guanyin Fozi also saw the clues of the chess game. Entering the chess game, only Dou defeated Fozi's impatient personality that kept him from entering the game and unable to see through the mystery of the chess game. But looking at Ye Zhenyu's
In this state, I knew that this chess game would not be simple, so I watched silently and just kept scratching my head with my hands.
In the chess game, every time a piece falls, Ye Zhenyu and the chess master are fighting with their mental strength, chasing and intercepting each other to their best ability. The game has reached a fever pitch, and beads of sweat have begun to appear on the forehead of the chess master. Ye Zhenyu is secretly frightened.
He thought that he was worthy of being called a chess saint. Not only was he superb in chess skills, he was also mentally powerful! What Ye Zhenyu didn’t know was that the chess saint himself was just a primordial spirit. When the primordial spirit cultivated to the realm of a saint, it was completely formed by the gathering of spiritual energy.
Ordinary people cannot distinguish between the virtual body and the physical body. Ye Zhenyu became a saint in the physical body. Although his spiritual power is also very powerful, there is still some gap compared with the saint who fully cultivates his spiritual power.
The game lasted for three full days. Ye Zhenyu and the chess master spent a lot of money, and only the core territory competition was left in the game. Ye Zhenyu was at a disadvantage in the four corners, and he could only win the game by taking advantage of the territory in the middle. Ye Zhenyu was still under great pressure.
It is large, and the territory in the middle is more difficult to occupy and defend than the corners. If you are not careful, you will lose everything.
Ye Zhenyu's moves are getting slower and slower. On the one hand, he consumes too much energy, and on the other hand, he has become more cautious. He has to repeatedly calculate the gains and losses of each piece, and at the same time, he has to resist the interference of the chess master's energy.
Finally, Ye Zhenyu caught the chess master's rare negligence and dropped a piece. The heaven and earth shook. The fog in the chessboard world dissipated. The murderous spirit receded. The old chess master's voice sounded in his ears, seemingly unwilling and somewhat admiring: "I lost."
!I am so convinced of my defeat that I will be afraid of future generations!"
Ye Zhenyu slowly stood up, bowed and saluted: "Senior, I accept my offer!"
As a heroic laughter sounded, both the chess master and the chessboard disappeared out of thin air.
The melodious sound of the guzheng came from the mountain, and Ye Zhenyu looked for the sound. The stone steps spread upward, and the Buddha was connected to the sky. He only heard the sound of the piano, but no one was playing it. Ye Zhenyu looked at the stone steps that reached the sky, so he had to sit cross-legged and take the medicine.
A pill, meditation and breath adjustment, restored his true energy. In order to break the chess game, his true energy consumed too much and was almost exhausted.
One morning later, Ye Zhenyu felt that his true energy had recovered to 80%. The sound of the piano on the mountain changed from melodious and gentle to a little urgent, as if he was urging Ye Zhenyu and his party. Ye Zhenyu, Xuanyuan Youlan, and Lan Ji looked at each other and smiled, stood up and walked quickly to
Walking up the stone steps, Guanyin Buddha, Dou Shengsheng Buddha followed closely behind, and a group of five people walked up the stairs.
After climbing more than 200 stone steps, the sound of the piano was getting closer and closer, and an invisible pressure was revealed in the space. As the sound of the piano rose and fell, the pressure rose and fell. Every step forward felt very difficult.
.
"What a powerful sound! Could it be the fourth level of Qin Sheng playing?" Ye Zhenyu thought to himself. Looking at the other people, he found that they were all struggling. Ye Zhenyu said: "Sit down and adjust your breath first. Qin Sheng
The test has begun."
The five people were sitting cross-legged on the stone steps, circulating their true energy, absorbing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, and restoring their true energy. Suddenly, from the corner of his eyes, Ye Zhenyu spotted a clan of crystal orchids exuding among the dead leaves under the big trees on both sides of the stone steps.
Crystal white light. Unexpectedly, there are so many rare spiritual herbs in this Confucian world!
The whole body is pale, living in the dark night, emitting crystal white light in the darkness. Clusters of white plants in the dark woods emit little bits of fluorescence. They are like small bells dancing in the wind, making people feel chilly. According to the legend
Is the Crystal Orchid a "flower of the underworld" that heralds disaster, or a resurrecting fairy grass that brings the dead back to life? In appearance, the Crystal Orchid is different from ordinary plants. It does not have bright red flowers and green leaves, but is pale and does not appear to have any
A little life. Moreover, where crystal orchids grow, the ground is usually full of dead branches and leaves, and even dead birds and beasts are buried. It makes people curious and more awe-inspiring, so many people call them "the underworld".
"Flower of Death" or "Flower of Death". Of course, there are also people who believe that Crystal Orchid is crystal clear and emits an alluring white light in the dark. It looks otherworldly. In the world of cultivation, it is a magical medicine that can "bring back the dead to life". It is the same as the Flower of the Other Side.
, Datura flower and poppy flower are also known as the four flowers of the underworld, and they all have magical medicinal effects.
Ye Zhenyu is very clear about the medicinal effects of crystal orchids. It is not only very helpful to the physical body, but also very helpful to mental strength. Looking at so many crystal orchids, Ye Zhenyu thought in his mind, can he refine a few? Ye Zhenyu tried it.
Then he picked a crystal orchid from the forest and found that there was nothing strange about it. He immediately dragged the crystal orchid into his palm and activated his true energy to start refining it.
Soon, a crystal orchid was refined and absorbed by Ye Zhenyu. Ye Zhenyu felt refreshed, breathing smoothly, with abundant spiritual energy, and the pressure was instantly relieved. Ye Zhenyu picked a dozen more crystal orchids from the woods next to the stone steps.
Distribute it to the remaining four people for refining.
