Chapter 206 Chess Piece
When the system prompt sounded in his mind, Wei Changtian almost instantly understood many things.
Ning Yongnian.
He handed over You Jia, but also robbed Ning Yongnian of his luck.
This undoubtedly shows that You Jia and Ning Yongnian have a very close connection.
In the original book, there is only one such character - Longque!
You Long, Jia Que You Jia is the fucking Long Que!
Although this discovery cannot completely answer the doubts in Wei Changtian's mind, it is definitely the most important thread in this tangled mess.
If we follow this clue, perhaps everything can be solved!
“Swish, swish, swish!”
He used the Fuyao Step to its full potential, and in less than ten breaths he had crossed the entire Sun and Moon Lake and arrived under the high platform.
The system mall was always open in his mind, ready to buy the "Divine Strike" or the "Pure Jade Pendant" at any time. Without slowing down, he stepped on the nearly vertical wooden frame and jumped onto the platform in a few flashes.
The cold night wind blew by, and the place was empty without a single person in sight.
Have you left? He looked around, walked to the wooden table in the middle, and reached out to touch the exquisite purple clay teapot.
The tea was warm, with even a wisp of steam rising from the pot's spout.
“Bang!”
At this time, another figure floated onto the platform.
Qin Zhengqiu looked at Wei Changtian who seemed to be thinking about something, then looked at the exquisite teapot and teacup on the table, and asked in a deep voice:
"Changtian, what's wrong?"
“.”
Wei Changtian pondered for a while, shook his head and asked softly: "Grandpa, have you met the emperor before?"
Qin Zhengqiu didn't know why Wei Changtian suddenly asked this, but he answered truthfully: "I have seen him, but it was many years ago."
"That"
Wei Changtian asked seriously, "What kind of person is Ning Yongnian?"
The change in title from "Emperor" to "Ning Yongnian" made Qin Zhengqiu stunned.
He seemed to have guessed something, and after thinking for a while, he slowly said:
“I may not be the greatest emperor of all time, but I have an ambition that will last forever.”
“.”
At first glance, this sentence seemed to be equivalent to not saying anything, but after Wei Changtian heard it, he thought about it silently for a long time.
“Bang!”
“Ding ding ding!”
"Ah! Don't kill me!"
The sound of fighting could be heard from afar; the battle at the Sun Moon Lake was drawing to a close.
After being interrupted by the Folian Temple, the fight continued. More than a hundred Liu family warriors had all been killed, and one of the three third-grade masters had also died. The remaining two seemed to want to break through, but even they themselves knew that it was impossible...
It has to be said that the view from this platform is excellent. Just by looking up, you can clearly see all the movements of the entire Sun Moon Lake.
A picture suddenly appeared in Wei Changtian's mind.
The man in casual robes sat here, planning and strategizing, drinking tea and overlooking the drama below, his face full of the calmness and mockery of a superior.
Shen Ran, Su Wu, Liu Zongliang, Yan Shuyuan, and the wandering monks of Folian Temple All of them are like actors who are trying their best to "perform" on the stage, acting out a plot that has already been predetermined.
Including myself.
So. Is this what it feels like to be used as a pawn?
Wei Changtian narrowed his eyes slightly and clenched his hands into fists.
He didn't know if he had the planning ability like Ning Yongnian, nor did he know if he had the strength to support a huge layout.
But one thing is certain, that is -
I may not be a chess player, but I will never become anyone's chess piece again.
"Grandpa."
Turning his head to look at Qin Zhengqiu, Wei Changtian said softly: "Take a break for a while, we still have something to do later."
An hour later.
Xiaozhu Mountain is at the border between Shuzhou and Anzhou.
The abandoned mountain temple was in a dilapidated state. The arrival of the group startled several birds that were sleeping on the branches.
Daning established Taoism as the state religion hundreds of years ago. Although there was no explicit ban on people believing in Buddhism, Buddhism naturally declined as one religion grew stronger while the other grew weaker.
Therefore, ancient temples like this that have been abandoned due to lack of worship are not uncommon throughout Daning.
"Who is it?"
In the dilapidated main hall of the temple, several merchants who were resting overnight heard the noise, immediately picked up various weapons around them, and walked out of the hall carefully.
However, when they saw that the people coming were a group of bald wandering monks, they all breathed a sigh of relief.
When spending the night in such a desolate mountain area, the thing I fear most is encountering a young and beautiful woman, followed by monsters, and then bandits.
As for those in the Buddhist sect who follow strict precepts, they should be the least dangerous situation.
"Please don't blame the senior monks."
One of the men smiled, put away his weapon, and said with a salutation, "We came to this mountain on our way to trade, and happened to stop by the temple to rest. We just heard some noise and came out to check it out."
"Are you monks planning to stay here overnight? Why don't you go into the temple and warm yourself by the fire?"
"Thank you, benefactor."
Jingyuan smiled and nodded, then followed the merchant into the main hall.
There was a bonfire burning in the hall, and the flickering light of the flames illuminated several tattered Buddha statues.
The temples were abandoned, so naturally these Buddhas did not have a good end.
Not only are the arms and legs missing, but the surface is also full of pits and holes, and the golden clothes that once covered the body are no longer visible.
Some of the Buddha statues even have no heads.
"Don't be sad, sir."
Seeing Jingyuan staring at the headless Buddha statues in a trance, a merchant couldn't help but comfort him, saying, "Those who stole the Buddha heads will be punished sooner or later."
"Amitabha."
Jing Yuan uttered Sanskrit and sighed to himself, "Alas, it is obvious that this scene makes me feel sad."
"Dear donors, could you please help me?"
"help?"
Several merchants looked at each other and asked tentatively, "Exalted Monk, please tell us for a moment?"
“It’s very simple actually.”
Jing Yuan turned his head to look at the few people, clasped his hands together and bowed slightly.
"I would like to borrow your heads to make up for the lack of these headless Buddha statues."
"Dear donors, this is a great merit."
“.”
"Chirp! Chirp!"
It was a dark and windy night. The birds that had been scared away flew back into the temple and chirped greedily towards the main hall.
All the Buddha statues have been "completed", with blood flowing down the Buddha's body. Although there is no "golden robe", there is a "red robe".
"Amitabha."
Jingyuan stood in front of several "human-headed Buddhas" and performed Buddhist rituals respectfully, then turned around to look at the woman who was lying limp on the ground.
The fire flickered, illuminating You Jia's beautiful face and calm eyes.
Anyone who saw the scene just now would probably be scared to death, but she seemed not to care at all, and there was not even a trace of fear in her eyes.
Or rather, no emotions at all.
There is no struggle, no despair, no regret, no remorse. Because Youjia knows it very well.
From the moment Wei Changtian chose to hand herself over, she had become a discarded pawn.
A chess piece abandoned by the man she loves most.
Since he is an abandoned child, what does life or death matter? (End of this chapter)
