Li Rulan reduced the force, allowing Ling Guan to maintain his shape.
Because of the sudden disappearance he mentioned, Li Rulan knew what happened.
"Black chess? Then, you are the white chess piece?" Li Rulan looked with interest at the black figure that had quickly retreated due to Li Rulan's attack. "You are strange beings, but you all maintain consciousness. What could have turned you into chess pieces?"
"Senior, it's that chessboard!" Ling Guan said, "Everyone says that the chessboard is an immortal treasure. If you win the game against the chess spirit, you will become the master of the chessboard! However, the chessboard is a strange object! If you lose the game, you will be absorbed by the chessboard and become a chess piece! But even if you win, you will only become a new chess spirit and cannot be freed!"
"Where's the chessboard?"
"...was taken away by three disciples from the senior sect."
"Why are you still here?"
"Senior, I really don't know!" Ling Guan's expression was anxious, "But the chessboard must still be there! Otherwise, we would be gone too."
"Did the three of them win?"
"We must have won, otherwise, we wouldn't be able to show up..."
"So you're going to capture them as chess spirits?"
Ling Guan was stunned, and then he didn't say anything, but just looked at Li Rulan nervously.
Li Rulan looked calm as he glanced at the black and white illusory figures that were sometimes hiding and sometimes appearing in the distance. He sighed and said, "It's a pity that I have something to do right now. Otherwise, I would have to see what the hell this chessboard of yours is."
After finishing speaking, Li Rulan raised his hand and pulled the four ghost painting female cultivators away.
Ling Guan regained his freedom and stared blankly at the direction where Li Rulan was going away. The shock in his heart could not calm down for a long time.
This senior actually ignored them! ?
After a moment's silence, Ling Guan turned to look at the black-robed female cultivator who had just reported him, and angrily asked, "Why did you expose me?"
The black-robed female cultivator sneered, "Fool, if I don't save you, how can you still talk to me now?"
After being reminded by the black-robed woman, Guan came to his senses and thought to himself that it was indeed so.
But he couldn't bring himself to thank the black-robed nun.
After all, black and white chess have never gotten along.
A white figure appeared and spoke loudly, "Have you noticed that since those three people disappeared, my consciousness has become clearer and clearer?"
"Is it because the chessboard was taken away?"
"I'm afraid so," a dark figure said, "but our new friend isn't having such an easy time."
Everyone looked into the distance and saw a black energy struggling continuously on the spot. Although it did not make any sound, the twisted swinging amplitude seemed to indicate the pain it was suffering.
"That senior didn't inquire about the whereabouts of the three young cultivators. This means that they are likely to reappear and return to their sect with the chessboard! If... they can succeed, then wouldn't we have hope?!"
"Not right! If this chessboard gets out there, who knows what kind of disaster it will cause!"
"Auntie, when the chessboard comes back, will you still be able to say this?"
"Then we have to leave them a message! After so many years, there are still outsiders here. We must not miss this opportunity!"
"Fuck it, what's going on outside is none of my business! I wish more people would come and crowd this chessboard!"
"Humph, evil cultivators are evil cultivators..."
"Ah, what's wrong? What's wrong with the evil cultivator? Why am I the white chess piece and you the black chess piece? Why did you and I end up in the same situation? You're so hypocritical!"
The ruins became lively.
Although these black and white shadows were noisy, neither side took the initiative to attack.
The middle-aged female cultivator who had spoken earlier also began to carve information on the ground.
…
Cangxia Sect.
Lu Qing and Yun Wan came up empty-handed.
Geng Qiaoer had gone out to look for materials, and in Qiaoer Valley, only Zhang Yixiu and a few strange creatures were left.
"Fellow Daoist Zhang, I have already conveyed your message to your clan. Do you have any message to take back?"
Zhang Yixiu was flattered by the word "fellow Daoist". He quickly performed all the necessary formalities and said, "Thank you, Sect Master Lu. Zhang Yixiu dare not ask for more! But..."
"That's fine. I have paper and pen here... Well, let's use the jade token." Lu Qing took out a jade token and handed it to Zhang Yixiu. "After you record it, I'll pass it on to you."
"Thank you, Sect Master Lu!"
Zhang Yixiu solemnly took the jade token, reported to Lu Qing, and walked aside to leave a message.
"Qi Renjia?"
"Here!" Qi Renjia also came over, also looking a little frightened.
"Don't panic. As long as you don't do anything bad, no one in our sect will bother you." Lu Qing said, "You've maintained your sanity despite being a strange being. That's truly remarkable. Geng Qiao'er is intelligent. If you can uncover the mysteries of the strange, it will benefit all of humanity and protect more cultivators from harm... It might even allow people like you to integrate into the world of cultivators..."
"Of course, even the conflicts between the various ethnic groups haven't been resolved yet, so it might be a little premature to talk about this." Lu Qing smiled again and asked, "This place is still a bit shabby. I don't know when Geng Qiao'er will be back. Is there anything you need?"
When Qi Renjia heard this, he quickly thanked Lu Qing and said that he needed nothing.
"I'll leave some things here. It shouldn't cause any impact, right?" Lu Qing turned and asked Yun Wan.
"Uh, it's too late..."
"Geng Qiao'er wouldn't think I'm meddling, would she?"
Lu Qing muttered to himself as he took out two beds and matching furniture, and even prepared tools such as pens, ink, paper, and inkstone, wondering if the two of them would have the leisure time to paint a picture or something.
