Why are we always BE

"I was beaten by you for no reason, and you made me suffer several times." Jiang Shu quickly moved the horse away and said.

"It would be fine if I just wanted to beat you up, but unfortunately I want more than that."

In the later stages of the game, chess becomes nothing more than a game between two parties, with each party gaining something and losing something.

In the end, the chariot in the Poison Witch's hand defeated the general, and a soldier stood between the chariot in Jiang Shu's hand and the Poison Witch's general.

"It seems that I won." said the Poison Witch.

"This kind of endgame where both sides suffer losses is a bad move," said Jiang Shu.

"What have I lost? Is there anything I cannot lose?" said the Poison Witch.

"Does it make sense?"

"I know my actions are just like an ant trying to shake a tree or a moth flying into a flame. But since I have survived, how can I give up? The Eternal Evil King is my belief, and chaos is what I seek in my life. Someone wants me to be a grinding stone for you to ascend to the throne, how can I be willing to be just a grinding stone? Since I have survived, I will never be content to be mediocre."

"You worked hard, it seems you won. What about Jiang Yue, the taxi driver standing in front of me, what's going on with her?" Jiang Shu asked.

"She was originally a failure, but I didn't expect someone could revive her. It's simply God's help to me." The poison wizard picked up the pill and said while playing with it in his hand.

"..."

Jiang Shu's thoughts drifted to the day when she confronted Jiang Yue during the training in Shennongjia.

"Why should I promise you?"

"You don't have to agree to me. I hate her more than anyone else. If nothing unexpected happens, she will completely take away my body after I leave Shennongjia. By then, her spirit will completely suppress my soul. Jiang Shu, you experienced it last time. Under her control, you have no power to fight back."

"That's because she drugged me that day. It was so despicable." Jiang Shu complained.

"You don't think she won't do anything despicable to you next time, do you? What's more, if it's just a simple duel, you really can't beat me." Jiang Yue asked back.

Jiang Shu was silent for a moment, then asked, "Then what can you do?"

"I don't want to be regarded as a traitor and die at your hands. As long as you can give me a chance to wake up, I promise you that the blade in my hand will never be pointed at you." Jiang Yue said.

"I hope so."

Thinking of this, Jiang Shu raised her eyes and asked, "You called me here not to let me play this stupid chess game with you, right? What do you want to do?"

"This chess piece is just an admission ticket prepared for you. I'm free now, so let's talk about something else." The Poison Wizard said leisurely.

Are you idle? But Jiang Shu is not idle.

Before coming to the Red Lotus Sect, Jiang Shu took the injection given by the Eye of God, which was both an antidote and a poison.

The Poison Witch had been struggling for more than half an hour.

If Lu Rou is not found in time, this poison will become his death.

"But I'm not here to chat with you. Where did my brother and Lu Rou go?" Jiang Shu asked.

"Aren't you worried about Su Qing?" the Poison Witch asked back.

"What do you mean?" Jiang Shu frowned and asked back.

"Su Qing, this is the most convenient time for me to find out his information in thousands of years. After the fire in Zuixiang Tower during the prosperous Tang Dynasty, he disappeared from then on. Especially in the Song Dynasty, there was no more news of the imperial tutor in the entire court. Can you guess why?" The Poison Wizard asked back.

Jiang Shu remembered what Su Qing had said when she introduced Zhang Zeduan to her, so she pretended to be calm and said, "He just went into seclusion, what's the big deal?"

"Because he has a demon in his heart." said the Poison Witch.

The chess piece in Jiang Shu's hand fell onto the board and she lost her mind for a moment.

"Tsk! You messed up the chess game, and Su Qing didn't even tell you?" said the Poison Wizard.

Jiang Shu had this thought in mind, but she also knew how terrible the impact of inner demons on cultivation was.

So as long as Su Qing didn't say anything, Jiang Shu would just think it was a blind spot and secretly pray that he had just reached a bottleneck in his practice.

"I wanted to attack you when you returned to Zui Xiang Lou, but I was about to change the Gu worms at that time. When I recovered, Zui Xiang Lou had been burned to pieces." The Poison Witch held his chin and said, "Later, I made inquiries and investigations from many sources and finally found out what happened. I can't say that I hate missing the opportunity to torture you again, but I have regretted it for a long time."

Jiang Shu stared at the Poison Witch, trying hard to suppress her emotions.

"However, my chance soon came. Do you know how excited I was when I learned that Su Qing had an inner demon? During the Song and Yuan dynasties, I searched for your reincarnation more diligently than Su Qing did, just to make you live in a dilemma." said the Poison Witch.

Jiang Shu stood up, took out the blood bone flute and put it against the poison witch's throat.

"What's wrong?" The poison wizard looked up and asked in pretended confusion.

"I'm sorry, I don't have the time to chat with you here. Let's end this quickly. I just want to kill you as soon as possible." Jiang Shu said.

"If you have the ability, then..."

Before the Poison Wizard could finish his words, he realized something was wrong and retreated immediately.

But there was still a bloody mark on the neck.

"What's going on?" The Poison Wizard covered his neck and said in surprise.

"You are dragging your feet with me because your Red Lotus Chess is poisonous." Jiang Shu put away the Blood Bone Flute and continued, "Before I came here, the Eye of God formally introduced you to me. You are a genius Gu Master who is seen once in a thousand years. You were originally trained as a Gu child. After being rescued by the Eternal Evil King, you became the only mortal adjutant beside him. It is true that you are a genius, but they have lived for tens of thousands of years and have seen countless geniuses. The reason why Jiang Yue was sent to Shennongjia was to trouble several poison immortals living in seclusion in Shennongjia to develop an antidote based on the Gu poison in Jiang Yue's body. You dare not do anything with the Black Lotus Chess because it is easy to alert the enemy if you poison me at the beginning. Even if I don't know, the gods behind me know it. I am afraid that you will die before I make a move, so you can only make a move with the Red Lotus Chess. It's a pity that your calculations failed this time. I got the antidote before I came. I won't give you the opportunity to play tricks again."

The poison witch stood up and said, "I underestimated you."

"No, you underestimate the gods in the divine world. You think they can't interfere in human affairs, so they can't control too much. But you forget that gods exist to save the world. They are better than anyone else at playing with the butterfly effect and playing all kinds of tricks with the way of heaven." Jiang Shu said.

The poison witch stood up, jumped out of the pavilion and said, "It seems that I have to rely on force to solve it. My poison can only be cured by poison. I guess the antidote you mentioned is just a stronger poison. In the end, you should rely on Lu Rou to save you, right? Let me guess, how much time do you have left, one hour? You have to kill me and find Lu Rou to save her. Is it enough time for you?"

"enough."
