"That's how the rules of crossword chess are. It's simple, isn't it?"

Bai Jue was lying on the floor of the clean room, with his chin propped on his hands, his legs dangling lazily. Opposite him was Pei Tingyao who was sitting cross-legged.A piece of paper with grids was laid out between the two of them, and four small stones of different colors were placed on the paper.

This is a small game that Bai Jue played in Zhongzhou when he was a child. He taught Pei Tingyao Go for a long time just now, and the other party thought it was troublesome and didn't want to play with him, so he thought of this.

After explaining the rules of the game, Pei Tingyao finally nodded: "Oh, I see."

This chess is one person with two pieces, each person moves back and forth on the grid, whoever blocks the opponent's chess first will win.

Bai Jue is a veteran of this game, he blocked Pei Tingyao's chess piece in a dead end after a few casual moves, who knew that Pei Tingyao directly picked up his own chess piece and jumped over Bai Jue's, and landed in an empty space.

"Hey, hey, you fouled!" Bai Jue slapped his hand, but unfortunately the slap was in vain, and he caught the disobedient piece back to its original place, "You have already lost, there is no way out!"

Pei Tingyao pointed to the empty space and said, "Why is there no way to go, isn't this the way?"

"But my chess is here, you can't pass me, take two steps at a time."

"Why not?"

"Did you listen to my rules just now?"

"Yes, whoever blocks the opponent first wins. If you block me, I will come out. Didn't I get blocked?"

"Pei Tingyao, you did it on purpose!"

Outside the clean room, a group of people huddled together, stacked on top of each other, listening desperately with their ears pressed against the door. The one at the bottom was almost squeezed into meat paste, and they still asked in a low voice, "What did they say?"

"What are you talking about? It's blocked, it's a rule, it's like playing chess."

"What? Why is he in the mood to play chess now!"

The door was opened suddenly, and the eavesdropping monks rushed into the room like meatloaf standing upright and fell flat. The two people at the top raised their heads in embarrassment, looked at the person who opened the door, and found that this person they did not know. know.

The meatloaf hurriedly got up and changed back to human form, and some of them looked into the house beyond the person in front of them.

Pei Tingyao said coldly, "What's the matter?"

As soon as he opened his mouth, the temperature around him seemed to drop into a glacier. Brothers, look at me, I look at you, and then look up at the sky, and said with an embarrassed smile: "No, no, haha, come and see Senior Sister Song here not here?"

"Not here." Pei Tingyao was indifferent to their smiling faces.

"Then, don't bother me hahaha."

The monks were inexplicably intimidated by the person who opened the door, and they ran away without a trace.

Pei Tingyao closed the door and turned around, and when he faced Bai Jue again, it was as if he had performed a face-changing act.If Bai Jue had only just seen how he looked towards others, then seeing how he looked towards himself, he would probably be moved to the point of tears.

But Bai Jue didn't look at him at all, still lying on the ground with his head down and throwing stones: "Come on, let's play again."

Pei Tingyao sat back to his original place. This time he moved first, step by step, and behaved well at first, but then Bai Jue blocked one of his chess pieces in a dead corner again, and he picked up that chess piece again.

Bai Jue held down the open space where he wanted to jump with his hands, fiercely like a cat breathing: "Don't go here! There is no way here!"

"Oh." Pei Tingyao picked up Bai Jue's chess pieces and exchanged them, "Then you lose."

"Hey!!"

Bai Jue messed up the chess pieces, flipped the board upside down, and turned his back: "Don't play, don't play, you don't follow the rules at all."

"No way." Pei Tingyao argued, "Whoever is blocked will lose."

"That's a failure condition, not a rule of the game."

"Winning or losing is the rule, the rest depends on whether you want it or not."

Bai Jue slapped the floor, turned around and glared, thought for a long time, but couldn't think of how to refute.He actually felt that what Pei Tingyao said made sense.

Pei Tingyao, who had never played district chess before, was able to come up with so many tricks, and he was very clever.

Pei Tingyao sat opposite and fiddled with the chess pieces: "Are you really not playing anymore?"

"Hmph. Play by yourself."

Bai Jue lay on his back on the ground, his eyes fell on Wu Qingkuang involuntarily, and his thoughts drifted to the horizon.

Le Dao's method of using force to strike force is to rely on the spiritual weapon of musical instruments to gather external spirits, accept them for his own use, gather spirits in the dantian, and use the method of resonance to make moves.The heart law of kendo is the traditional cycle of movement. The two sets of methods are like two colliding chess pieces. There is only one way to go, so they are incompatible with each other.But what if he included the aura from the outside world as part of the celestial cycle?

It's as if an extra stroke is added to the grid to connect the dead end, so the chess pieces will be unimpeded?

He must not be the only one who thought of this method throughout the ages, but the most critical obstacle faced by the monks was the panacea in the body.How can the panacea pass through and accommodate external forces?Only outer pills like demon pills can do it.But the demon pill cannot be self-sufficient like the inner pill.

To accommodate external force, unless the spiritual power coming in from outside is not digested by the spirit pill, but that would not be able to use the sword moves taught by Pei Tingyao.Usually, some restoration spells use this method.

However, Bai Jue just hasn't produced the elixir yet, which means that the dantian is just a container and hasn't been locked yet.Perhaps it is possible to try two sets of rules in parallel.

But a good move should not have stages.Could it be that he will never form a pill for the rest of his life?It seems that it is not impossible, but that way of cultivation will definitely be much slower than others, and the gap will become wider and wider over time, so what's the use of a clever method.

Bai Jue can't think of a solution to the latter problem for the time being, but right now, he can try the circular method without a panacea.

Thinking of this, he jumped up from the ground like a carp, picked up Wu Qingkuang and ran outside.

"Pei Tingyao, I thought of a way. Do you want to come with me..." Bai Jue got stuck in the middle of his words. When he stood at the door and turned around, he found that Pei Tingyao was already lying on the ground, his face pale.

"What's wrong with you!" Bai Jue dropped his sword and came over quickly, but there was nothing he could do about Pei Tingyao who was in a spiritual state, so he had to cover Pei Tingyao's outline and worry.

It's not the first time he's seen Pei Tingyao like this. In fact, it happens from time to time in the past few days, but today it looks particularly serious.

There is not a single word in the "Handbook for the Prevention of Common Spiritual Diseases" that mentions what this disease is, so Bai Jue is helpless.

"Is the feng shui here not good? You said last time that you always felt that there was an external force involving you. Let's try another place." Bai Jue hurriedly picked up Wu Qingkuang and handed it to Pei Tingyao, indicating whether he should go back to the sword first. in.

However, Pei Tingyao shook his head: "It's useless. Even in Chanxi City, you will still feel this way. The influence of that power seems to cover the entire Xianshan Mountain."

"Then let's leave Mount Xian!" Bai Jue said decisively.

"Back to the sword, I'm afraid I will..."

"What will happen?" Bai Jue asked in a low voice, he stared at Pei Tingyao intently, afraid that he might miss any of his words.Will it disappear?But isn't he a sword spirit?

Pei Tingyao's voice became weaker and weaker, and Bai Jue heard it when he got closer. What he said was: "Lend me some spiritual power."

"Okay, okay, you take it...how can I give it to you?" Bai Jue touched his body in a panic, looked at Pei Tingyao helplessly, and said without thinking, "The Spirit Seizing Formation doesn't work either. Ah, I haven't formed a panacea yet, what should I do?"

Pei Tingyao's pupils dilated for a moment, and when Bai Jue realized what he had said, he stopped abruptly.

"You know, Seizing Spirit Formation?"

It was the first time they met, Pei Tingyao taught Bai Jue to draw, in order to take away his elixir.At that time, Bai Jue didn't know what it was.

"I saw it in a book later." Bai Jue said in a low voice.

So he already knew?Pei Tingyao was stunned on the spot, his face looked paler and paler.That being the case, it is absolutely impossible for Bai not to be unaware that a monk will die if the spirit pill is taken away.Then why did Bai Jue keep him by his side and even help him?

Bai Jue didn't seem to intend to explain this right away, and Pei Tingyao was also silent for a while, not saying how to borrow his spiritual power.Bai Jue became anxious, and urged him again: "How can I give you spiritual power? Tell me quickly."

Pei Tingyao groaned and covered his heart, looking precarious.

Bai Jue tried his best to grab his spirit body, but it didn't work after repeated several times. Suddenly, Pei Tingyao raised his hand to him, placed it on the back of his neck, and used the last of his spiritual energy to draw him closer. the area.

"Give it to me, use your mouth."

Pei Tingyao said weakly, and then their lips touched each other.

Bai Jue still couldn't reach him, the big living person in front of him was just a mass of shaped air to him, but he could feel his lips were icy cold, when he was brought over he put his hand on Pei Tingyao's leg, Then naturally it penetrated and pressed to the floor.But he still raised his hand to change a piece of land, avoiding Pei Tingyao's legs, as if he was afraid of crushing him.

Pei Tingyao opened his lips slightly against him, and Bai Jue felt the aura in his body running up, so he also gently parted his lips.

Like kissing a puddle of cold water.

*

A woman stood in front of Yejinmen.She looked very young, but she wore a high crown of hair, straightened her back, put her hands on her waist, and looked serious, as if she wanted to emphasize her majesty.

Several Luming Xiankes on duty were all there, and they lowered their heads apprehensively in front of her.

This woman is the head of the sixteen branches of the Chanxi Sect, and all envoys of the sixteen branches follow her orders.At her age, she was not even a few envoys, so she shouldn't have taken over the suzerain so early, but the previous suzerain lost his soul in the battle of immortals and demons 300 years ago, and passed away early. Take her for hundreds of years.

A heavy burden is on Mu Zhen, so she will inevitably act more vigorously, just like at this moment, she pointed to the gambling game between Han Chu and Bai Jue at the Jinmen Gate and frowned: "Remove this as soon as possible, and return all the money. Don't make such a big gamble, what are you talking about. There are also those few cloud books, which are unsightly."

Luming Xianke cautiously said: "Sovereign, it's okay to withdraw the bet, but Yun Shu is not good, you know, the degree of freedom of visiting the Golden Gate has always been very high, so I can't explain it to everyone."

Mu Zhen's attitude couldn't be distinguished: "Remove. You guys should be more cautious these days. Don't let the children make too much trouble, and encourage them to focus on their homework."

While Mu Zhen was not paying attention, one of the Luming Immortals quickly sent a message to Xue Liang through the sound transmission bird, telling her to come quickly to Jinmen to count the bets.Withdrew publicly, but continued privately.

They also couldn't figure out where the suzerain's sudden attack came from, so they quietly inquired with the people around the suzerain, saying that there was a mysterious guest who came to the Chanxi sect. On the one hand, so in the past few days each branch has received some rectification orders.

Today is finally the turn to pay homage to the Golden Gate.

"I don't know what is so sacred that the suzerain is so concerned?" Luming Xianke whispered behind him.

"Who knows, it's still so mysterious, and there is no public reception. If it weren't for our suzerain's daily affairs, I really wonder where the old man found a Taoist companion."

"Shh! Don't talk nonsense. I heard it was the guest's intention. He didn't want to make it public. He was going to Luoyang to discuss Taoism. He passed by our Chanxi Sect and stayed for a few days."

"To discuss the Tao? That should be a big man. But which big man does our suzerain have friendship with?" This is not what they mean to look down on their suzerain. Mendong Mansion has established a network of contacts.

"Don't look at our suzerain who is considered young among the heads of the immortal sect. She has always been neither humble nor overbearing to those seniors. What happened this time? She took it too seriously. Looking at her posture, I thought it was Lord Yadao Hongyuan who came in person. Woolen cloth."

Hongyuan is the official title of Sword Emperor, and Sword Emperor is just a folk title.

His partner smiled: "What are you thinking?"

The people on Yazhou Island are all alone, not even Beiman Jianzong, let alone their Chanxi Sect.The only joint activity of the immortal sect that Hong Yuanzun participated in was probably the Danxinlou discussion in Luoyang.That is an activity that the top ten immortal sects will go to, and their suzerains will also participate.But if Hong Yuanzun passed by Chanxi Sect and proposed to stay for a few days, that is absolutely impossible.

So no one took the joke seriously.

Mu Zhen pointed out a few more things that were wrong, and the Luming celestials wrote them down one by one, and wiped the sweat from their foreheads.

When he was about to leave, Mu Zhen suddenly asked, "Why did that Ling Yuzhang disciple named Bai Jue challenge Han Chu?"

Han Chu is a disciple of Jianmen who has heard about it. Every branch has some outstanding newcomers. Muzhen is very concerned about the cultivation of the younger generation.Even if she is the youngest among the masters of the sect, she understands that juniors need opportunities.She still encourages this kind of point-to-point communication between disciples, but the "communication" between Bai Jue and Han Chu does not seem to be equal.

Luming Xianke wiped his sweat again: "Uh, Bai Jue... seems to be in this style."

Mu Zhen didn't judge, nodded to his disciples, turned around and led his subordinates away.The Luming cyclists were puzzled behind.

Mu Zhen reviewed those cloud books just now, it's not that she didn't see the gossip, with her knowledge, it is naturally impossible to judge a person based on these catchy words, but she still feels that Bai will definitely lose.

Looking at the direction of the wind on the Golden Gate, if Bai Jue loses, he will probably be ridiculed by the whole sect.This is also a big blow to young people.

She sighed, and said to the people around her: "Take out two of the golden spirit stones I put in the basement, and after they fight, give them to Bai Jue in the name of Zhou Fengshi."

The people around her were familiar with her style, so they asked: "Tomorrow is the day for their appointment, does the suzerain want to go and have a look?"

"Well...it's okay if you're free." Mu Zhen thought carefully for a while, "It depends on His Majesty's mood. If he wants to visit the daily activities of our sect children, I will take him to see it tomorrow."

The people around couldn't help asking: "Sovereign, why did Hong Yuanzun come here this time? Do you just ask clearly? Do you really believe that he said he came to visit? His eldest son Pei Jin is also the same, just wait You don’t go out of the room you prepared, those servants come in and out every day in a hurry, it’s too weird.”

Mu Zhen glanced at him: "Even if there is no purpose, it must be a private matter. Help if you can. When I first took over, he also spoke for me in front of other sects. A generation of sword emperors, do you think he is useful? Are you playing tricks with me?"

The people around him hurriedly lowered their heads: "Yes, I have a villain's heart."
