Chapter 1423 Chess Game

I looked at the half-played chess game and the old Taoist priest in front of the stone table, my eyes full of astonishment.

"Is this... the interior of the boundless mountains and rivers?"

I turned my head and looked to the side, and saw that where I was at the moment was on a cliff, and not far away, the waterfall roared, and the mountains and plains were all green and full of vitality.

"Director Zhang, is there anything wrong?" Taoist priest Shi Feng looked at me and said with a smile.

I shook my head and said, "There is nothing wrong, but... this interior is a little different from what I imagined."

"Haha, even the world we see with our eyes is not necessarily real, let alone the world we imagine in our minds." Taoist Master Shi Feng stroked his beard and continued, "This world is filled with too many karmas and confusions. The pain and happiness you feel, even what you hear and feel, may be fake. It's like my inner world. You see mountains and water, but how do you know that others see the same thing? "What is it like? It is said that all conditioned phenomena are like dreams, illusions, bubbles, and shadows, like dew and lightning. We should view them in this way. Since we are born in this world and live in this world, what is the meaning of what we see as true and false? Perhaps even we... are just a part of someone else's imaginary inner world!"

This sentence shocked me directly. I raised my head suddenly and looked at Taoist Master Shi Crazy with a shocked face.

Taoist Master Shi Crazy's theory... really shocked me.

This inner world was constructed by Taoist Master Shi Crazy with his own spiritual power. Every blade of grass and every tree here are false. Then, what about the life here? Of course, they are all fake!

But the fake here is so real, so who can tell? Isn't the so-called real world another person's huge inner world?

My heart was greatly shocked. I took two deep breaths and calmed down before I said, "Master Shi Feng, are there really immortals in this world?"

"I don't know!" To my surprise, Master Shi Feng, who had just been mysterious and looked like an immortal, actually shook his head very calmly, saying that he didn't know.

"Maybe there are, maybe not, but what does it have to do with us?" Master Shi Feng continued with a smile and said, "Practice, practice, some people practice strength, and have unparalleled combat power, but some people practice mind, and have a calm mind. So what do you think is the element of becoming an immortal?" "

Is it... a calm mind?" I said with a suspicious look on my face.

"Yes, since he has no desires and no demands, would he still want to become an immortal?" The Ten Crazy Taoist shook his head: "So, no one knows what the immortal is. I have been practicing for more than 70 years. Until now, I always feel that the way of heaven is so illusory, and the so-called immortal... is even more out of reach and intangible!"

I didn't say anything after hearing this. What the Ten Crazy Taoist said seemed to be unintentional, but in fact there was a lot of mystery in it. It seemed to contain his insights from more than 70 years of practice, and it seemed to contain complaints about the great way of heaven and earth.

"Director Zhang, since you are here, then... let's finish this game of chess." The Ten Crazy Taoist pointed to the chessboard and said, "It's Director Zhang's turn to make a move."

I lowered my head and looked at the chess game on the stone table.

I am not an expert at chess, but as the saying goes, you have never eaten pork, but you have seen pigs run. So I saw at the first moment that this was a game of Go, and the white pieces I held were at the end of their rope, while the black pieces held by Taoist Master Shi Crazy had already formed a siege.

"Director Zhang?" Taoist Master Shi Crazy saw that I was hesitant to move, so he called me.

"Where is my friend?" I picked up a white chess piece and suddenly asked.

"Director Zhang, don't worry, your friend is very good, but it will take time to cut off the connection between your friend and the ancestral god."

As Taoist Master Shi Crazy finished speaking, the chess piece in my hand slowly fell on the chessboard after a moment of hesitation.

'Boom...'

As the chess piece fell, a loud explosion suddenly rang in my mind. The scene in my eyes also began to distort instantly, and finally, it completely changed into another appearance.

"Where is this place?" I was stunned, and saw a group of very illusory people appearing around me. I couldn't see their faces clearly, and I couldn't tell who they were, but I could vaguely hear shouting and killing in my ears.

"Is this a war? But these people are clearly wearing modern clothes!"

These people were all rushing in one direction, as if they had a common enemy. I hesitated for a while, and then quickly chased after them.

There were a lot of people, and it was very crowded, but I was like a ghost, moving through the crowd, and my body could not make any contact with them.

I don't know how long it took, but I finally passed through the crowd and saw the center of the battlefield.

"This is..." My pupils shrank.

I saw that in the center of the crowd, there was a woman.

But this woman was very strange. Her legs were broken directly at the ankles. Her feet had been cut off and disappeared.

The wounds were still bleeding, and her posture was also very strange. She was actually sitting in the void.

"No, it's not Lingkong sitting in the air!" I was suddenly shocked: "This posture... It's more like someone is carrying her on his back, but... Why can't I see the person carrying her on his back?"

I squinted my eyes, trying to see the woman clearly, but the distance was too far, and the woman was covered in blood. No matter how I looked, I couldn't see her clearly.

I could only see that the woman was holding a weapon similar to a spear, and her body was emitting a strong murderous aura. There were piles of corpses lying around. Obviously, this battle has been going on for a long time.

"Who is this woman?" I covered my forehead with my hand, because at a certain moment just now, I looked at the back of this woman and had a familiar illusion.

But that feeling was fleeting, and disappeared in the blink of an eye. When I looked again, I couldn't see the woman clearly.

"Why do so many people want to kill her? Why can't I see the person carrying her? I was just playing a game of chess, how did I end up here?"

My head began to ache, and at this time, I saw that all the people who besieged the woman suddenly raised their heads and looked up at the sky.

I followed their gaze and saw that two balls of light kept colliding with each other. As the two balls of light collided, everything around them began to become unstable.
