"A new trick?"
Upon hearing Chu Qinghe's words, not only Dongfang Bubai and Shuimu Yinji, but even Qu Feiyan and the other two women who were practicing swordsmanship stopped drawing their swords and tilted their ears slightly.
Chu Qinghe said slowly, "You'll find out soon enough."
As he spoke, Chu Qinghe gestured to Dongfang Bubai.
Seeing that Chu Qinghe did not explain, Dongfang Bubai was curious but did not ask any further questions.
He picked up a black chess piece from the chess box in front of him and placed it on the chessboard.
Seeing this, Chu Qinghe also picked up a white piece and placed it on the board, but the position of this white piece was far away from Dongfang Bubai's black piece.
Seeing this, Dongfang Bubai knew perfectly well that Chu Qinghe was about to play a game of Gomoku, not the usual game.
After glancing at Chu Qinghe with a hint of doubt, Dongfang Bubai continued to place his pieces.
A moment later, as more and more black and white pieces appeared on the chessboard, Dongfang Bubai's pace of placing pieces gradually slowed down.
On the other hand, Chu Qinghe's pace of placing pieces remained unchanged from beginning to end.
It was as if every move Dongfang Bubai made was exactly what Chu Qinghe had anticipated.
Even their expressions and movements give off a lazy feeling.
Gradually, Dongfang Bubai needed to think for nearly thirty breaths before each move.
A moment later, as the black piece landed on the board, a wisp of special energy flowed through it, and a white piece from the chess box beside Chu Qinghe was drawn to his fingertips by this energy, landing precisely between his middle and index fingers.
"despair!"
However, the instant the sound of the chess piece landing on the board was heard, a surge of true energy instantly flowed into the chessboard as the piece fell.
In an instant, the entire chessboard, including the chess pieces, seemed to ripple like water.
In Dongfang Bubai's vision, the chess pieces on the chessboard glowed with a special magic, drawing his consciousness into another scene.
Then, under the watchful eyes of the jellyfish Yin Ji, Dongfang Bubai, who was holding a chess piece in one hand without moving, gradually darkened his expression.
Not only that, as time went on, crimson true energy began to emanate from Dongfang Bubai's body and swirl around him.
Along with that, killing intent began to emanate from Dongfang Bubai.
But Dongfang Bubai seemed completely unaware of all this, continuing to observe the game as if he were watching a chess match.
The surging true energy fluctuations and the ever-increasing killing intent emanating from him were so obvious that even Qu Feiyan and the other women beside him couldn't help but stop what they were doing and came over one after another.
After glancing at Dongfang Bubai, whose expression was now icy and whose killing intent was palpable, Qu Feiyan and the other women turned their gazes to Chu Qinghe, their expressions carrying a hint of inquiry.
Facing the gazes of Qu Feiyan and the other two women, Chu Qinghe said casually, "Let's talk about it when she's sober."
Upon hearing Chu Qinghe's response, Qu Feiyan tiptoed to Shuimu Yinji's side and asked, "Sister Dongfang, weren't you and the young master playing chess just now? Why do you suddenly seem so bewildered?"
Upon hearing this, Jellyfish Yin Ji shook her head and said, "I don't know, my eldest sister suddenly became like this."
As she spoke, Jellyfish Yin Ji glanced at the chessboard on the table.
No matter how much Jellyfish Yin Ji looked at it, she couldn't see anything strange about the pieces on the chessboard.
Seeing that Shuimu Yinji also didn't understand, Qu Feiyan could only wait quietly with Xiao Zhao and Lin Shiyin.
A quarter of an hour later, as Dongfang Bubai's body trembled slightly, his eyes, which had been somewhat dazed and empty a second ago, instantly regained their luster.
The moment he regained consciousness, Dongfang Bubai looked at the chessboard in front of him again, but could not see anything unusual.
After letting out a long breath, Dongfang Bubai looked up at Chu Qinghe and asked with some uncertainty, "An illusion?"
Chu Qinghe nodded and said, "The Exquisite Heart-Questioning Game, also known as the Exquisite Chess Game, can lead people into illusions, making them confused without realizing it."
Linglong is originally a term used in chess.
It generally utilizes techniques such as divination, life and death, tactical maneuvers, and killing intent to influence the entire game and captivate the player.
The game of chess can contain hidden traps and psychological threats.
If one can break through the illusion, one can achieve the effect of refining one's mind and spirit.
The Zhenlong Chess Game in the Deaf-Mute Valley of the Great Song Dynasty is actually a type of Linglong Chess Game.
Similarly, one can be subtly drawn into a mental illusion through a game of chess.
Finally, Chu Qinghe said, "This thing refines the mind and spirit. If you play a few rounds every day, it can temper your mental strength and improve your mental state. It works quite well."
Upon learning that Chu Qinghe could lure people into an illusion through a game of chess, Qu Feiyan, who was standing nearby, leaned closer with a look of curiosity.
"Young master, shall I give it a try?"
Upon hearing this, Chu Qinghe smiled slightly, then waved his right hand lightly. With a burst of energy, the black and white chess pieces on the chessboard fell into the chess boxes on both sides in an orderly manner.
Chu Qinghe has always been responsive to Qu Feiyan's self-inflicted suffering.
A moment later, just like Dongfang Bubai before.
Perhaps knowing that Chu Qinghe's chessboard could be used to confuse the mind, Qu Feiyan was already on guard when playing chess with Chu Qinghe.
Therefore, as the number of chess pieces on the board began to increase, Qu Feiyan would glance at Chu Qinghe from time to time, looking wary.
