The Path Toward Heaven

Qingniao looked at Jing Jiu.

Jing Jiu said, Don't look at me, it has nothing to do with me.

Tong Yan looked at the blue bird.

The blue bird said: Don't look at me, it has nothing to do with me.

Hearing these words, even Jing Jiu looked at Qingniao.

This is the illusion in Qingtianjian, and everything is related to you.

Blue Bird said: I am Jianling, not a rule.

There was some deep meaning in this sentence, she didn't explain it thoroughly, leaving it for Jing Jiu and Tong Yan to figure it out.

Jing Jiu didn't express any further opinions on this matter, and said to Tong Yan, Continue.

Whether it is to break the catastrophe or to overcome the catastrophe, face it or give up, it is Mo Gong's own choice.

When he dropped the black chess piece earlier, a bolt of lightning fell from the sky, and now it was Tong Yan's turn.

Tong Yan looked into the depths of the wind and snow, was silent for a while, picked up a white chess piece with three fingers and placed it on the board.

Jade Bird walked to the chessboard, picked up the white piece with its right paw, and corrected its position, and complained, Why are you still as stupid as when you were a child?

Tong Yan said expressionlessly: If I'm stupid, then what are you?

It was obvious that Tong Yan and Qingniao had known each other before and were still very familiar with each other, Jing Jiu didn't care, picked up a black chess piece and put it down.

Tongyanluozi.

Jing Jiu fell again.

Both hands kept falling.

The number of pieces on the chessboard gradually increases.

The blue bird walks among them with light steps, just like dancing.

This picture is very beautiful.

But practitioners outside Echo Valley and those in the real world can't see it. They also couldn't see the wind and snow falling in the palace, and the thunder and lightning that fell from time to time. They can only see what the blue bird sees. Obviously this was done on purpose by Qingniao, she didn't want outsiders to know about Mo Gong's encounter with Heavenly Tribulation, especially Master Bai.

Practitioners in the real world know that the situation in the capital of Chu State is tense. But in the past ten days, they have seen all the changes in the world in the Qingtianjian, the vicissitudes of the sea, the change of the king's flag on the top of the city, these things have hardly affected their mood, they just want to watch this game of chess.

They just occasionally heard a low and depressing rumbling sound coming from the depths of the screen, which made them a little curious why there was thunder in such a snowy day?

...

...

This game of chess between Jing Jiu and Tong Yan is different from the game on Qipanshan back then.

That game of chess was called a shocking game because the two sides were on the chessboard with awe-inspiring killing intent. Every time a piece was dropped, the heaven and the earth would respond, the wind rose and the rain fell, and thunder and lightning intersected.

There was wind, snow and thunder in the palace today, but the chess game itself was extremely stable and relaxed, it could even be called indifferent.

No one can tell what the water tastes like, and few people can appreciate the beauty of this game of chess.

Jing Jiu and Tong Yan were playing casually, and the people outside Echo Valley looked bewildered, completely unable to understand what they were doing.

Only Que Niang stared at the picture in the sky, her face flushed slightly, her body swayed slightly, as if she was drinking strong wine.

After a while, her face turned pale again, as if she drank too much wine and wanted to vomit.

She is number one in several Meihui chess matches in a row, recognized as the strongest in chess, only she can understand Jing Jiu and Tong Yan's chess.

She was shocked to find that Jing Jiu and Tong Yan's chess skills were far better than before.

Xiang Wanshu smiled wryly and was speechless, thinking that he was also a player who knew how to play chess, but today he could only judge the current situation based on Que Niang's reaction, which is extremely ridiculous.

Many practitioners also reacted. After Jing Jiu and Tong Yan played chess, they no longer thought hard in vain, but immediately looked at Que Niang.

Outside the Echo Valley, there are countless human heads turning back and forth between the sky and the bird girl. The scene is somewhat similar to the Meihui chess game back then, but it is more funny and interesting.

The chess game in the snow pavilion has entered the middle and late stages, Que Niang's reaction is getting less and less, and it is difficult for people to judge the situation from her expression.

She stared at the picture in the sky, her nose was slightly open, she was obviously extremely nervous, her face turned from pale to reddish again, and her eyes changed from bewildered to determined.

...

...

Those eunuchs are still waiting for news.

The dead men from Cangzhou outside the palace and the spies mixed in the crowd were also waiting for news.

The palace is strictly forbidden and empty.

In the snowstorm, Liu Shisui held an umbrella and looked at Mr. Mo in the square.

He didn't know what His Majesty told him to see, but since he was the only one in the palace, he would come and see.

The man in black is indeed very strong, and his realm is unfathomable. If he wants to harm His Majesty, he will not be able to stop him. He is afraid that he will be killed with two moves.

The question is, what are you doing standing in the snow? Isn't it an idiot?

Liu Shisui thought that he had forgotten many things and was considered an idiot, so he couldn't help feeling a little sympathetic to this person.

Of course Mo Gong is not an idiot, he is the highest level person in this world, and also the most intelligent and benevolent person in this world.

Wisdom is a very good thing, and benevolence and righteousness are also very good things, but with both, sometimes the choice becomes extremely difficult.

Mo Gong is now facing such a choice, which is why he has been silent for such a long time.

He came to the Chu Palace today at the invitation of Prince Jing's son, and at the same time he wanted to help Shaoyue.

The general trend of the world is initially determined, and the three kingdoms of Qin, Zhao, and Chu are the strongest.

If these three countries can maintain the current balance of power, it will be difficult to resume the war, and hundreds of millions of people will be able to live in peace. Qin and Zhao don't need to worry, the violent prince and the gloomy nine thousand years old will not make any mistakes, but the idiot emperor of Chu makes him a little uneasy.

He worried that the Emperor of Chu was not really an idiot.

Sure enough, when the state of Chu was at its most stable, the idiot emperor suddenly ordered Prince Jing's son to enter Beijing.

Does this mean taking advantage of the chaos to regain power at the risk of civil war?

Such a method can be said to be extremely bold and crazy, how can an idiot do it?

So, he came here with a snowstorm all over his body, and wanted to kill the emperor for the sake of the world.

Who would have thought that at this most critical moment, he suddenly realized a glimmer of secret.

At that time, the blue bird flew across the sky, leaving some messy paw prints on his heart and on the snow.

He looked up at the sky, and vaguely saw another world.

This gray, snowy sky doesn't seem real, as if... it can be cut with a sword?

The moment Mo Gong had this idea in his heart, Xuekong started to thunder.

He now faces a choice.

Draw your sword to the sky.

still.

Turn around and kill the king.

He knew that not far away, in the snow pavilion next to the hall, the emperor and Prince Jing were playing chess.

Thunder and lightning kept falling from the snow sky, and the loud bang was endless.

Some lightning bolts were like pillars, some were like silk, and fell around him. The snow was melted, and the exposed bluestone was charred and black, and stone chips burst out and cracks appeared.

Mo Gong held on to the hilt of the sword, his eyes gradually became determined.

Seeing this scene, Liu Shisui stopped staying, turned around and left.

...

...

The Xueting chess game has entered the final stage.

Liu Shisui held an umbrella and went back to the pavilion, shaking his head at Jing Jiu.

The wind and snow disappeared suddenly, and the thunder and lightning did not reappear.

Jing Jiu was silent for a while, picked up a chess piece and put it on the board, and said, I won.

Snow Palace was silent.

The same goes for Beyond Echoing Vale.

Tong Yan looked at him quietly, did not see any joy in his eyes, only a touch of tiredness and regret.

Jing Jiu rarely felt such emotions.

What is he tired of?

Who are you sorry for?

The shoes creaked in the deep snow.

Mo Gong walked into the palace gate.

Tong Yan sat in the wheelchair, silent, not knowing what she was thinking.

Jing Jiu looked at the chessboard and said something.

Everyone knows that he said this sentence to Mo Gong.

When you look back on the past later, I hope you will not regret your choice at this time.

(Every time I write an important plot, I’m always afraid that I won’t be able to write it well, and I don’t even dare to start writing, but as I write, especially after I cut off large sections of the plot in a non-stop and extravagant way, and then make adjustments, I will be satisfied in the end. I really like it when I write it.)
