Chapter 219 Lingzhu Daoyun, Leisure Time
"Old Doctor Chen, to be honest, my disciple and I are not traveling this time. We are actually being hunted by someone..."
Fang Tao truthfully told Doctor Chen about the difficulties they were facing.
"... Doctor Chen, I don't know when those Liuyun Sect disciples will catch up with us.
But they are not good people. If they chase us to the Taoist temple, it might implicate you, old doctor.
So if possible, Doctor Chen, it might be better for you to leave earlier."
“I didn’t expect that Master Fang and you would have gone through such a tragic event. However, it is windy and rainy outside, and the road is flooded and muddy. I am afraid that our carriage will have difficulty moving. Even if we leave now, we won’t be able to go far.
Besides, since they are here, we should make the best of it. Since Liuyun Sect is a major sect in Yunzhou, I don't think they will be so unreasonable. We have no grudges against them, so even if they really come after us, we shouldn't be angered. Master Fang doesn't need to worry."
After listening to Fang Tao's story, the old doctor did not show any panic, but instead comforted him.
Dashi, who was standing by, could not help but say, "Old Doctor Chen, you don't know that although the Liuyun Sect claims to be a prestigious and upright sect, it actually acts in a very domineering manner.
In Yunzhou, any family or small force that does not comply with their wishes will be beaten as a warning at best, or even robbed and annexed at worst.
You should not have too high expectations of their character."
"The Liuyun Sect is so domineering. Don't you have other sects in Yunzhou that can check and balance them?" Lu Qing asked curiously.
Fang Tao sighed and said, "In our Yunzhou, there are three first-class sects, among which the Liuyun Sect is the strongest. It is said that there is more than one Xiantian Realm ancestor in the sect, so even if it acts domineeringly, other forces can't do anything to it."
"I see." Lu Qing nodded.
"So, Doctor Chen, we have offended Liuyun Sect. It is hard to say whether it will implicate you. I hope you will be more careful." Fang Tao said sincerely again.
"Okay, we'll leave after the rain stops." The old doctor nodded.
Fang Tao opened his mouth, what he meant was that he hoped the old doctor could leave as soon as possible.
But when he looked at the rain outside, he felt that it was not very realistic. He couldn't let him drive his benefactor into the wind and rain.
So in the end he just shut his mouth and stared at the sky outside in a daze with worried look on his face.
Seeing him like this, Magu felt amused.
These people would never have imagined how powerful the person in front of them is.
It’s no wonder, the Lu Qing brothers and the old doctor are so good at hiding their breath.
What the two of them have shown now is only the cultivation level of Qi and Blood Realm. Among their group, the most powerful ones are still him who has achieved great success in the Bones and Tendons Realm and Zi'an who has achieved minor success in the Bones and Tendons Realm.
This level of strength is totally insignificant for a large sect, so it's no surprise that Fang Tao feels worried.
However, Fang Tao was not a bad person. He was not the kind of person who would repay kindness with enmity, so it was not in vain that he helped them.
Due to the silence of Fang Tao and others, the atmosphere in the hall became a little dull.
However, Xiaoyan and Xiaoli did not have such worries. Feeling bored, they took out the beast chess from their luggage and started playing after obtaining Lu Qing's consent.
The old doctor also took out a medical classic and began to read it leisurely.
Even Lu Qing, Ma Gu and others were busy with their own things.
For example, Lu Qing simply immersed his mind into the acupoint between his eyebrows and silently refined the Earth Spirit Pearl.
Although he had left his own mental imprint in the Earth Spirit Pearl before, he recognized this treasure as his master.
But he is still a long way from completely mastering it and needs to constantly cultivate his mind.
Moreover, as the most precious treasure of the earth element, the Earth Spirit Pearl itself carries the charm of Tao.
During the process of sacrifice and refining, he was also comprehending the rhymes of Tao.
Lu Qing had a hunch that if he could comprehend some truth from it, it would be of great benefit to him.
Just like that, after Lu Qing and others stopped talking, the hall became completely quiet.
However, the ticking sound of chess soon attracted the attention of Fang Tao and others.
At first they thought that Lu Qing and the others were playing chess, but when they turned around, they saw Xiaoyan and a small black beast sitting there. As they played chess seriously, their mouths slowly opened wide.
They still had some impression of Xiaoli, the little black animal, because they could see that it spent most of its time lying in Xiaoyan's arms.
However, they all thought that it was just Xiaoyan's pet.
After all, judging from their clothes, the old doctor and his family are probably not from an ordinary family.
It's not too normal for wealthy families to keep pets.
But now Xiao Li was playing chess with Xiao Yan very seriously, and Fang Tao and the others all felt confused.
A little beast that can play chess? They had never seen it, let alone heard of it!
"Please don't be surprised, Xiao Li has been Xiao Yan's playmate since childhood. They are used to playing around. If they are making too much noise for you, I will ask them to keep their voices down."
The old doctor who was reading a medical book looked up and saw the stunned expressions of Fang Tao and others, and explained.
"No, it's okay." Fang Tao waved his hands quickly.
But he couldn't hide the curiosity in his heart.
"Doctor Chen, this little beast, can it really play chess?"
"Its name is Xiaoli. Because it is very intelligent, it has learned some things about us humans through what it has seen and heard." The old doctor explained.
Fang Tao and the others were immediately amazed.
I never thought that a small animal could be so intelligent. Legend has it that in some famous rivers and mountains, there are some smart monkeys that can communicate with humans. This black little animal is probably no worse than that.
Out of curiosity, several people involuntarily came to Xiaoyan and Xiaoli and watched them play chess.
Then, after a few more glances, they were surprised again.
Because they discovered that the chess game played by Xiaoyan and Xiaoli was something they had never seen before.
"Miss Xiaoyan, what kind of chess are you playing? Why are there tiger and mouse?"
Dashi looked at it for a while and finally couldn't help but ask.
"Beast chess, it's fun!"
Xiaoyan answered happily, then made a move and ate one of Xiaoli's leopards.
The black little beast's eyes suddenly widened, as if it had not expected this step.
"Beast chess?"
Fang Tao and his companions were even more confused, as they had never heard of this kind of chess before.
"This is a chess game that I figured out when I was bored. The rules are simple, and it's for Xiaoyan and the others to play with. It's not worthy of being played in formal occasions, so I'm sorry to embarrass you all." The old doctor said with a smile.
"I see."
Fang Tao looked at it for a while and found that it was indeed true. The rules of this beast chess were not complicated.
It’s simply the big eating the small. You don’t need to learn anything to master it.
No wonder even an alien like the black beast could learn it, it turns out to be such a simple chess game.
Fang Tao shook his head with a smile.
He was actually a little scared just now, thinking that Xiao Li really knew how to play those advanced chess games. In that case, his intelligence would be too scary.
However, although the game of Beast Fighting Chess was simple, Dashi and the other young men still watched it with great interest.
On weekdays, they spend most of their time practicing martial arts and don't have access to much entertainment. When they saw this new thing for the first time, they actually found it very interesting.
Just as Lu Qing and others were leisurely waiting for the rain to stop in the Taoist temple.
In a dark cave hundreds of miles away from them, a figure with disheveled hair was looking at the scattered stones in front of him, a little crazy.
