Chapter 327 A Game of Chess in Deyun Temple
"Elder Shichen, there is no need to panic."
Seeing that all the tribesmen from Gao Qiao Cave had come out, Li Chu transformed himself and returned to his original form.
"Oh..." Elder Shichen was relieved, "So it was Taoist Priest Xiao Li who transformed it. No wonder this tree is so handsome..."
Halfway through his speech, he suddenly felt something was wrong.
"etc……"
"Master Xiao Li, it's only been one night, and you can already transform freely?"
Thinking of this, Elder Shichen was shocked beyond words.
It’s like I’ve spent more than 20 years finally arriving in Rome ahead of everyone else, only to see that someone’s delivery room was built just one step before my finish line.
"I can't say I'm very comfortable with it." Li Chu frowned and said, "I've been trying to make my tree trunk a little more ordinary, but I can't do it. No matter how ugly it is, it's still..."
He shook his head, feeling helpless.
Being an extremely handsome man is tiring enough, but I didn't expect that turning into a tree would also give me this kind of pressure.
and……
The most important thing about change is that no one can recognize it. If a tree stands out from the crowd, anyone with a discerning eye can see that there is something wrong with it. What use is it?
"I have never encountered this difficult problem before..." Elder Shichen stroked his beard and thought.
But.
How come I'm not proud at all?
…
Kunlun in the West and Baiyujing.
The ancestral home of Taoism in the world has gone through several ups and downs since ancient times, and finally became today's Baiyujing. Although today's Baiyujing has lost its status as the leader of Taoism, it still has the inheritance of the endless Taoist canon. Whether in terms of power or reputation, it is still the well-deserved number one among the twelve immortal gates.
The headmaster of this generation, Tong Zhiyang, is also recognized as the strongest fighter in the world and is known as "Tong Invincible".
Later, he became as famous as Jiang Yirong, the natural born Buddhist son of Yunfu Temple in the Pure Land of Southern Heaven, and was the pinnacle of both Taoism and Buddhism.
On the top of Baoshu Peak in Baiyujing, the peak is empty, with only countless formations and talismans surrounding a brilliant tree.
The tree is tall, with luxuriant branches and leaves. The most amazing thing is that it seems to be carved out of gold and jade. From a distance, the colored glaze, white jade, gold, silver, agate... on it is clearly a work of art that is so ingeniously crafted.
But the roots deeply rooted in the ground and the falling bright silver leaves seem to indicate that it is not that simple.
This is a sapling that Bai Yujing’s ancestors brought out from the Shenxu. It is the only fairy tree in the world.
It took hundreds of years to grow to this size.
Early in the morning, a little Taoist boy came with a small bucket to clean up the fallen leaves from the precious tree as usual.
The fallen leaves of this precious tree are extremely valuable treasures whether used as medicine or for refining weapons, so every leaf must be carefully collected and handed over to the sect.
It's a pity that this precious tree has only grown leaves since it was placed in Baiyujing, and has never bloomed or borne fruit...
Huh? The little Taoist boy was thinking this when his eyes suddenly stopped.
In the direction where his eyes were looking, a colorful glass flower was shining brightly under the sunlight and morning dew...
"this……"
The little Taoist boy took a deep breath, and even without bothering to pick up the bucket in his hand when it fell, he turned around and ran outside, shouting as he ran.
"It's blooming, Sixth Elder, the precious tree is blooming!"
"Sixth Elder, bloom!"
…
When Li Chu and Lao Du returned to Deyun Temple, they unexpectedly ran into Yu Qian'an and Li Maoqing fighting with each other in a bloody battle.
That's right.
These two people are playing chess.
There was a Go board on the stone table, with two people sitting on each side.
The little fat dragon supported his chin with his short paws and watched with great interest.
It's just a little uncomfortable to sit on the stone bench, because its feet can't reach the ground, and when it stands up, it's not high enough. Its short legs kick around, but it doesn't stop it from being fun to watch.
Li Chu went out and picked up two bricks and put them under its feet.
When he looked up again, he found that Lao Du next to him had a serious face and a frown on his face, as if he had seen some extremely horrifying scene.
He asked curiously, "What's wrong?"
Dulanke shook his head and turned his back, his chest heaving. After a long while, he said in a deep voice: "This Grandmaster and the Imperial Master... are simply... two lousy chess players!"
"Haha." On the other side of the chessboard, Yu Qian'an mocked, "The chess skills of the Imperial Master seem to be a little lacking."
"He has no rules when starting, no plan when making moves, and no thoughts when facing an enemy. This is clearly a sign of extreme immaturity."
Li Chu hadn't even looked at the chessboard yet, and when he heard that, he thought that his master had the upper hand.
Then Yu Qian'an continued, "I was able to win two out of ten games. This is a great shame and humiliation."
Li Chu: “…”
Dulanke: “…”
Faced with Yu Qian'an's words, the disciples and their great-grandchildren all felt a strong desire to complain.
Who is more shameful when using such words to belittle others?
This terrible game of chess lasted for two hours, with the two men still fighting back and forth.
During this process, Lao Du looked at it and left because he couldn't bear to look at it. Wanli Feisha looked at it and left because he couldn't bear to look at it. The fox girl and the little koi came back from school and looked at it and left because they couldn't bear to look at it.
Only the little fat dragon was still guarding there.
This child probably developed a psychological disorder from studying recently. As long as he is not reading, he finds everything interesting.
After a long while, Yu Qian'an suddenly raised his head and asked Li Chu, "Disciple, do you have something to ask me?"
"Hmm?" Li Chu nodded and said, "There is indeed something I would like to ask the master to take a look at."
Yu Qian'an smiled at Li Maoqing and said, "Master Imperial Master, I'm sorry. My disciple has something to ask me, how about...this game be a draw?"
"Humph." Li Maoqing refused, "We've been playing for so long, and you just realized that your apprentice is looking for you? I have such a big advantage, how can I draw with you? Master Yu, don't cheat!"
"Well... forget it." Yu Qian'an looked around and patted Xiao Feilong's head. "You've been watching for two days. You can play this game for me."
"Master Yu?" Li Maoqing obviously did not expect this.
"Hmm?"
Little Feilong was also stunned.
…
Li Chu looked at the little fat dragon who was sitting on the table in a daze with bricks under his feet, and felt that his master was a bit shameless.
But I still have to ask.
He took out the black gem from his bosom and said, "I got this from an evil spirit who practices fear. I wonder what it is?"
"This thing..." Yu Qian'an took the pearl and rubbed it in his hand. "Could it be the spiritual magic pearl in the devil's land?"
"Psychic magic beads?"
"The four great immortal hiding places are different. The Divine Ruins is vast and unpredictable, but devoid of life. Ghosts are rampant in the Ghost Valley. Dragon Abyss is full of dead species... and in the Demonic Land, there are many crazy monsters living."
Yu Qian'an handed the beads back to Li Chu and said:
"These monsters have been fighting each other for eternity, just like raising poisonous insects, and only the strong ones survive. The function of this magic bead is to summon monsters from the demon land to fight for you. However... this bead seems to have a flaw, and it should only be able to summon once a day."
Said a few words quickly.
Yu Qian'an glanced and saw that the chess game over there was over, so he hurried over.
He patted Little Feilong on the shoulder and said, "It's okay, kid. It's normal to lose the first time you play chess. Just keep trying. Come, I'll show you an example."
"Hey, hey!"
Little Fatty Dragon raised his head and pointed across.
"Master Yu..." Li Maoqing pursed his lips and said with a complicated expression: "I lost."
