Reborn as Murong Fu: This time I am the protagonist

People are like this, if something is there, you may not touch it. But when someone asks you and clearly tells you not to touch it, you will be tempted to touch it.

This is the case for Su Xinghe and Murong Fu.

When they were in Wuliang Jade Cave, the Zhenlong chess game was placed there. Murong Fu didn't even bother to take a look, and left with Wang Yuyan. But now when Wu Yazi told him not to worry about it, he became interested and must give it a try.

Su Xinghe didn't think so either: after all, he had spent nearly decades thinking about this game of chess, and he didn't see any problems in seeing each other day and night. Master spent three years setting up this chess game, wasn't it a good one?

On this day, after the two said goodbye to Wu Yazi, an old man and a young man came to the chess game together, determined to give it a try.

Zhenlong is the problem of Go. Often the masters deliberately set things up to make things difficult for others, and they were not the formations produced by two people playing chess. Therefore, it is extremely difficult to predict life, death, or disaster. Ordinary "Zhenlong" can have as few as ten pieces, and as many as forty or fifty, but this one has more than two hundred pieces. The game of chess is almost over. The so-called overall situation has been decided, so what else can I ask for.

There are calamities in this game of chess, including co-existence and immortality, some counterattacks, some retaliation, five flowers gather into six, it is extremely complicated.

Murong Fu didn't have very high attainments in Go, he was just a master. It was impossible to break the game with his calculation power. Originally, he didn't expect to be able to crack this chess game, but Wu Yazi's serious instructions aroused his interest.

If there were as many masters as there were in the original world, and both good and evil factions gathered together, he would naturally not take this risk. But now that he has been accepted as a direct disciple by Wu Yazi, and has recognized his marriage, when Wu Yazi's deadline comes, it will be the same whether he passes the mantle to himself or to Wang Yuyan.

It was said that there was no need for him to take risks in the chess game.

What really made him curious was the secret behind this game.

Wu Yazi's original intention in setting up this situation was to find smart and handsome young people to inherit his mantle. But this was originally a false proposition. Su Xinghe, the eldest disciple of Wu Yazi, was originally distracted from chores and delayed his martial arts. According to the logic of normal people, spending too much effort on Go will definitely delay the advancement of martial arts. Even if someone can solve the problem with superb chess skills, there is a high probability that he is just a chess madman who just wants to play chess. This is like saying that if you are good at math, you must also be good at sports, right? It's completely irrelevant.

Then there are the various strange behaviors of the people playing chess at that time. If it is said that Duan Yanqing was bewitched by Ding Chunqiu's evil power when he intended to commit suicide, what is the explanation for Murong Fu's actions?

At this time, Murong Fu was sitting in front of the chessboard, thinking hard, just trying to find the original move that Xu Zhu made, "Sixteen Sons Taking Off Boots". But no matter how he looks for it. He just couldn't find it. The cup of tea brought by the mute servant on the table had already cooled down, but Murong Fu even tried the stupidest method of trying one move after another, but he still couldn't find the key move.

The key to breaking the Zhenlong chess game is to commit suicide with sixteen stones and survive. From a metaphysical point of view, to break this game, you need to explore life and death and let go of your obsessions. Wuyazi's name of "living dead" is probably related to this.

At this time, the sun was setting in the west, and the two played more than ten rounds of chess together. However, no matter how Murong Fu started, he would inevitably lose the bet in the end.

However, there was no such thing as going crazy.

Another piece fell, and the white dragon was slaughtered, with no way to recover.

Murong Fu sighed heavily and threw a white chess piece back into the chess box.

"You can't play. This game of chess is too evil. The chess pieces seem to be moving. It's like something is leading you somewhere, and you are led astray unconsciously."

Su Xinghe was convinced. He had been thinking about this game of chess for decades, but before he got to the critical point, he always felt something tugged at his heartstrings, and in the end he always missed the move. He was puzzled when his master ordered him to act like this in the past, but out of respect for Wu Yazi, he did not raise any objection. Over the past few decades, countless talented people have failed here, and Murong Fu couldn't solve it. Also normal.

"Since this situation was set up by Master, why don't we ask Master?" Murong Fu said.

Su Xinghe shook his head helplessly: "Junior brother, you are joking. Master doesn't know how to solve this situation. In the past, I asked Master about it. But Master only said that to solve this situation, what is needed is not Chess skill is about the great wisdom of seeing through life and death. Master, it took him three years to set up this game, and nearly thirty years to break it. In the end, he got nothing."

Murong Fu thought to himself: "Why don't we go to Shaolin to find Xu Zhu and make him blindfolded? Anyway, he is the destined protagonist, so whatever he does is reasonable."

He smiled self-deprecatingly, knowing that he was joking. Everything in this world depends on chance, especially something with metaphysical meaning. Doing it deliberately will only make you laugh.

He remembered Wu Yazi's words, "I don't know what that is!" Didn't it mean that Wu Yazi spent three years putting it together? How could he not know what was his?

That's all, it has nothing to do with him anyway, just treat it as a joke that Wu Yazi made to the world.

He stood up and left his seat, taking one last look at the unfinished game. Then the two left together.

Leigu Mountain.

"Senior brother, do you and Master really not want to go back to Gusu with me?"

Murong Fu and Su Xinghe stood side by side.

Of course he wanted to take Wu Yazi and Su Xinghe back together. Regardless of anything else, if these two go to Shenhe Village to show off, who else can come and cause trouble in the future?

Su Xinghe smiled bitterly and shook his head: "Junior brother, Master has already said that he will die in this deaf-mute valley and never take another step in this life. And Senior brother, I should obey Master's wishes, not to mention."

This "what's more" has no further meaning.

Murong Fu vaguely guessed what Su Xinghe meant. Since the other party is not willing, he will not force it. But there is one thing that must be done.

"Senior brother, what do you think of what I mentioned last time about Xue Muhua and other senior nephews returning to the sect?"

At this time, in terms of seniority, Murong Fu was already far ahead of Doctor Xue and the others. Su Xinghe would refuse to show any politeness to him.

When Su Xinghe mentioned his disciples, a hint of warmth appeared on his face. In the past, he was frightened by Ding Chunqiu's lust and drove his eight direct disciples out of the door. This has always been a thorn in Su Xinghe's heart. Now that he knows that his time is running out, he misses these people more and more. I wonder if they have neglected their martial arts over the years?

Especially that Xue Laowu, huh, he was so angry that he was exchanging medical skills for other people's martial arts? How could he come up with such a bad idea! Is martial arts practiced like this? I really wish I could give him a beating right now! However, since he always cares about the sect and has attracted young talents like Junior Brother Murong to the sect, we don't care about him anymore.

He smiled and said: "These incompetent disciples are quite filial. Let's do this. Senior brother writes a letter. Junior brother, you can take this letter to find Xue Laowu and the others, and let them follow you in the future. Junior brother, you can be regarded as returning to the master’s sect.”

Murong Fu was overjoyed when he heard this: happiness came so suddenly.

Although he was accepted as a direct disciple by Wu Yazi and taught martial arts, which benefited him a lot. But these are benefits that will only show up after a while. After all, martial arts training does not happen overnight. From what Wu Yazi said, he seemed to prefer Wang Yuyan to inherit the mantle - this was actually within Murong Fu's plan, otherwise he wouldn't have mentioned it in front of Wu Yazi on purpose.

In his opinion, Wang Yuyan's martial arts talent is far better than his own, and she is a piece of jade, unlike himself. After some guidance from Wu Yazi, he even regretted learning the Six Meridians Divine Sword.

The most important thing is that with Wang Yuyan's feelings for her, there is no possibility of betraying her.

He originally just wanted to ask his senior brother for a few loyal mute servants, but he didn't expect that his senior brother would be so generous and directly give him all the eight disciples he had carefully trained.

This is not some Infinite Sword, a disciple of the Qingcheng Sect. Except for Doctor Xue among the Eight Friends, any one of the other seven has the strength of a mid-level sect leader. The strong ones among them, such as Kang Guangling and Wu Lingjun, are absolutely top-notch masters. Together, the seven of them can compete with the top masters several times. They can be understood as a high-end version of the Jiangnan Seven Monsters.

Martial power was secondary. The eight people's attainments that were at the pinnacle in their respective fields were also a big help. Let alone others, just the name of the fifth Xue Muhua, the miracle doctor, was definitely more powerful in terms of appeal than the false name of Nan Murong.

And he is absolutely loyal, there is no possibility of betrayal, and he is far more reliable than Deng Baichuan, that potential traitor. In the original world, after Murong Fu went crazy, he was reduced to sitting on the grave wearing paper clothes and hats, with only one person beside him. Little Abi. Duan Yu was kind enough to order his men to take five thousand taels of silver and send them over. Then I would like to ask how could the Murong family's huge family fortune be reduced to this situation? If the Eight Friends of Hangu can be used to replace the four generals, there is no need to worry about this.

Although Murong Fu was happy in his heart, he still had to be polite in order to save his face. However, his small thoughts were seen through by Su Xinghe at a glance: "Junior brother, don't say any polite words. Senior brother is not involved in martial arts, and his own martial arts and talents are only mediocre. So, I feel at ease in this deaf-mute valley. Junior brother, you are different. Although you are young and promising, but the trees are as beautiful as the forest, the wind will destroy them. Alone, it is easy to hide from open guns, but difficult to guard against hidden arrows. With the wisdom of the master back then My martial arts skills are good, alas. Anyway, senior brother entrusts these eight unqualified disciples to you in the hope that you will not make the same mistakes as your master in the future. Although my eight disciples have ordinary martial arts skills and intelligence, there is no need to doubt their loyalty. In the future, I will select a few loyal and reliable mute servants for you to take away. Senior brother is old and can only help you so much."

Although Su Xinghe's tone was calm, Murong Fu was deeply moved by what he said.

"Thank you, senior brother!"

Murong Fu bowed deeply and respectfully.
