Liang Yan was amazed by the man in the bamboo hat. Since he couldn't see through the other person's cultivation level, he could only refer to him as "senior".
He did not dare to lose his etiquette, and bowed respectfully behind the man, and then said: "Senior helped me, and I am very grateful to this junior. Now that the North and the South are fighting, is it possible that my senior is also a member of the same camp?"< br>
Liang Yan had many doubts in his heart. Although he did not dare to directly ask the other party's origins and background, he still had to ask about his position.
Unexpectedly, the man sat still, with his back to the two of them, as if an old monk was in trance, without any response.
Liang Yan frowned slightly, and looked at Wu Xin, feeling a little strange.
"Senior?"
Wuxin also called out, but there was also no response.
There was silence for a long time, Liang Yan's face gradually darkened, and finally he took a step and walked towards the man in the bamboo hat.
After taking ten steps forward, Liang Yan suddenly discovered that there was a jade chessboard in front of the man in the bamboo hat, but it was blocked by him just now, and neither Liang Yan nor Wu Xin's consciousness could notice it.
On the chessboard nineteen vertical and horizontal, black and white are entangled, and it has reached the endgame!
"Huh?"
Liang Yan's consciousness was involuntarily attracted to the chessboard, and he automatically ignored the appearance of the man in the bamboo hat and looked straight at the chessboard.
I saw that the white chess was invading like fire, while the black chess was endless. Both chess positions contained great mysteries. They were not just interpretations of the chess game, but seemed to contain the evolution of heaven's destiny!
"Good chess, good chess"
The more Liang Yan watched, the more fascinated he became. Unconsciously, he substituted himself into the white chess. He only felt that there were infinite changes in every move, and he was completely suppressed in the situation. Black lives.
"This white piece has a great chance of winning!"
Liang Yan's face was excited, his eyes flashed, and he was immersed in the chess game both physically and mentally, secretly deducing the next move.
At this moment, he thought of more than a dozen ways to play, each of which could kill Black.
At this moment, the man in the bamboo hat, who had been sitting still, suddenly raised his hand and pointed to a certain position on the chessboard.
Liang Yan was a little excited at first, but when his eyes fell on the spot pointed by the man in the bamboo hat, he suddenly felt a chill running down his spine and couldn't help but widen his eyes.
"This, this is."
Liang Yan was speechless.
Because with the finger of the man in the bamboo hat, the situation of the chess game was reversed, and the white chess piece no longer had any chance of survival!
"How could this happen? Obviously"
Liang Yan wanted to say something more, but found that he was unable to organize the words, because all these changes seemed to contain the rules of heaven. White's defeat then It was due to luck, and even the subsequent evolution of the chess game had already been deduced by the chess player.
Cold sweat gradually broke out on my forehead!
"Impossible, impossible!"
Liang Yan seemed to be in a daze. He was immersed in the chess game, trying to find a way out for the white chess piece.
In a trance, the surrounding scenery is spinning, the mountains and rivers are changing, and the stars are moving!
He himself became a member of Bai Zi, fighting on this huge battlefield, all kinds of conspiracies, intrigues, intrigues, and the generous lament and iron-blooded clang
Billions of living beings use their own life movements to compose the magnificent struggle between the North and the South!
However, everything seems to have been decided.
As a chess piece, no matter how high your cultivation level is, it is just a dream.
According to the trend on the chessboard, this battle between black and white has only one ending, and that is the destruction of all white stones!
Liang Yan racked his brains, exhausted his calculations, and deduced hundreds of possibilities, but none of them could save the white chess piece. No matter how he planned it, it would be a dead end in the end.
I don’t know how much time passed.
Poof!
With a muffled sound, Liang Yan came to his senses from the chess game and fell to the ground.
"How could it end like this? How could it end like this? If this is the case, then what is the purpose of everything we have done so far?"
At this moment, Liang Yan Like an ignorant child, he unconsciously asked the confusion in his heart.
"Alas, the number has been decided and cannot be changed."
With a sigh, a familiar voice sounded in my ears.
Liang Yan suddenly woke up, raised his head, and looked up from bottom to top. This time he finally saw the face of the man in the bamboo hat clearly.
Although he had only seen this face a few times, it left a deep impression on him.
Linghu Bai!
"City Lord!" Liang Yan shouted out loud.
Wuxin was also surprised and hurried forward. After seeing Linghu Bai, he bowed respectfully.
"The little girl, Ni Jia Yunran, a descendant of the Yu clan, has met Lord Linghu!"
"You are very good"
Linghu Bai glanced at her, He nodded slightly, then pointed with his hand.
A pill the size of a soybean appeared out of thin air and fell into the mouth of the sky-swallowing insect. The latter's appearance changed rapidly, mysterious runes appeared on its body, and a pair of wings grew out of its back.
"The sky-swallowing insect has unlimited potential and is worth cultivating. If you want to take a further step in your cultivation, I'm afraid you have to rely on this alien insect." Linghu Bai said slowly.
Wu Xin was overjoyed.
She has heard about Linghu Bai's magical powers for a long time. Although she doesn't know what the other party gave "Xiao Yan" to eat, it must be something very beneficial. This is definitely a great opportunity!
“Thank you City Lord Linghu!” Wuxin said with cupped hands.
"There's no need to thank me. I helped you because of Liang Yan. But it's hard to tell you what to say next."
Linghu Bai's face was calm from beginning to end, without any disturbance.
As soon as he finished speaking, he waved his sleeves. He didn't see any strange phenomena. Wu Xin felt himself being blown up by the breeze and flying backwards uncontrollably.
About ten feet away, the breeze slowly dispersed, and Wu Xin's feet landed.
Looking further forward, I saw clouds and mist lingering under the locust tree, and there was nothingness wherever my spiritual consciousness passed, and I could no longer sense any breath.
Not only her, but also the Sky Swallowing Insect was confused.
Wu Xin showed a wry smile, held up the Sky Swallowing Insect with his hand, and murmured to himself: "Xiaoyan, Xiaoyan, it turns out that it wasn't you who sensed the person, but the person who was sensed by you on purpose. What a shame." Fool! "
In the mist, Liang Yan and Linghu Bai sat opposite each other.
"City Lord, didn't you participate in the battle of the saints in the 'Fallen Immortal Ridge'? Why did you appear here?"
"This is just a clone of my spiritual mind. I am still here. In 'Falling Fairy Ridge'."
"So that's it." Liang Yan looked astonished, thought for a while, and then said: "The city lord has great magical powers. Even if he is just a spiritual clone, he can break through Tianmu City in a flash. Please take action and help our army." Clear the obstacles."
After hearing this, Linghu Bai smiled slightly and did not answer.
He pointed at the chessboard between the two of them.
"Look at this chess game first. How should the white piece be solved?"
"City Lord, please forgive me for being stupid, but there is no solution to this chess game." Liang Yan said with great certainty.
"You mean, Bai Zi will lose?"
"Yes." Although he was very reluctant, Liang Yan still expressed his opinion.
After hearing this, Linghu Bai leaned back, and an indescribable complex expression suddenly appeared on his face.
There was a trace of unwillingness, a trace of loneliness, and a trace of relief in that smile?
"Heaven and earth are chessboards, and all living beings are chess pieces!" Liang Yan suddenly realized and asked hurriedly: "City Lord, what are you holding is a white piece?"
Linghu Bai nodded silently.
"Who is in charge?"
Linghu Bai said nothing.
"Is there really no way for Bai Zi to survive?" Liang Yan was still unwilling to give up, and said after careful consideration: "I mean, has the man who holds the black one really thought that he has no plan left, and there is not a single variable? ”
This time, Linghu Bai's eyes flashed.
"There is a way to survive."
Liang Yan was overjoyed after hearing this and asked: "Where is the way to survive?"
Linghu Bai didn't answer and raised his hand to take it. A white stone gently landed on the chessboard.
As this piece fell, most of White's pieces were instantly killed or injured!
Liang Yan's eyes widened. He couldn't believe that Linghu Bai's way of survival was actually like this.
"Kill!"
Linghu Bai slowly spit out two words. .
At this moment, the man in the hat in front of him was no longer ordinary, a terrifying power emanated from him, with a bit of decisive and chilling aura!
Ruthless, truly ruthless!
Liang Yan couldn't see a trace of pity or wavering in his eyes.
"City Lord, what do you mean?" Liang Yan blurted out.
Linghu Bai did not answer, but pointed to the chessboard in front of him.
Liang Yan looked at it intently and found that due to the large number of white pieces being killed, there were infinite variables on the chessboard. The outcome of the chess game, which could have been foreseen, actually became difficult to predict.
"Really It’s alive!”
Liang Yan had an expression of disbelief on his face.
White committed suicide halfway and actually managed to survive. Although Black still had the upper hand, his original plan was useless.
However, this kind of "living chess" is not what Liang Yan pursues.
"What on earth is Linghu Bai thinking? Could it be that he..."
Liang Yan stared at the chessboard in front of him, suddenly feeling frightened.
His clothes were soaked with sweat.
The breeze is blowing and the spring flowers are blooming around him, but he feels like he has fallen into an ice cellar!
In his opinion, the Linghu Bai in front of him became a little strange. Or maybe he had never seen this person clearly before?
"The battle between the North and the South is turbulent. All living beings are chess pieces, but there are only two people playing chess! Could it be that in order to win, he ordered Hu Bai to risk everything, even the lives of all living beings in Nanxuan?"
Think At this point, Liang Yan felt extremely depressed and couldn't help but ask: "So, the current war between the north and the south is actually meaningless? Our tens of millions of troops in Nanxuan are all cannon fodder? What is the purpose of asking these people to die? ?”
After hearing this, Linghu Bai was silent for a long time.
It wasn't until a breeze blew by that a few leaves fell from the tree and fell on his bamboo hat. Then he slowly said:
"You don't understand our opponent."
“I am I don’t understand.”
Liang Yan felt heavy and thought for a while before saying, “All saints are ants. In your eyes, I must be one of those thousands of chess pieces. Why do you say this to me? ”
"You are different." Linghu Bai shook his head, with an enigmatic smile on his face: "You are my most important chess piece."
At this point, he suddenly raised his hand, A gentle force enveloped Liang Yan.
Before Liang Yan could react, he felt his storage ring loosen, and then a ray of light flew out and fell on Linghu Bai's hand.
The rays of light dissipated, and a flag appeared, with the four characters "Order of Ten Thousand Monsters" written on it. It was the Ten Thousand Monsters flag that Liang Yan got from Xue Ju!
Linghu Bai didn't say much, and stretched out his hand to touch the Ten Thousand Monsters Flag.
He saw countless flashes of light, and he wiped the layers of restrictions into pieces!
Buzz!
The Ten Thousand Monster Banner shook violently a few times, then became motionless and lay quietly in his hand.
“Here you go.”
Linghu Bai handed the Ten Thousand Demon Banner back to Liang Yan and said, “The ban of the Demon Saint has been removed. From now on, you can control this Ten Thousand Demon Banner. ”
Liang Yan was overjoyed, but he thought about what Linghu Bai said just now, and there was always a cloud in his heart, so his expression was complicated, he took the Ten Thousand Demons Flag, but hesitated to speak.
"Don't think too much, you just need to act according to your heart."
Linghu Bai stood up, put his hands behind his back, and looked into the distance leisurely.
His gaze was extremely deep, as if he had passed through many mountains and layers of clouds, looking at someone from afar.
Liang Yan was confused and subconsciously stood up, following his gaze and looking forward, but he only saw chaos and blur.
"The white snake crosses the river and the golden bell appears, the purple clouds reflect the sun and shine on the spiritual mountain, the nine-layered clouds sing the fairy music, the dragon sings and the phoenix chirps and the universe falls!"
Suddenly the melodious voice of Linghu Bai rang in my ears.
“What do you mean?”
Liang Yan suddenly woke up and turned around to look, only to find that Linghu Bai was gone!
Only one remaining voice came from the clouds and mist:
"Remember these twenty-eight words of prophecy, and you are the most important, you must survive no matter what!"
"City Lord!"
Liang Yan's face changed slightly , running quickly in the direction of the sound.
He still had too many questions that needed Linghu Bai to answer, but the voice was getting farther and farther away and softer.
Liang Yan flew dozens of feet away, and the clouds and mist suddenly appeared in front of him. It dissipated, and then the fragrant wind blew in the face, and it actually collided with a soft body.
"You're out!"
The other party did not retreat, but hugged him.
"Yeah"
Liang Yan looked at Wu Xin in front of him, and then looked around. He saw such a wonderful scenery of mountains, streams, shady willows, and clouds and mist, except for the two of them. There was no one else outside.
“Have you seen the Lord of Linghu City?” Liang Yan still didn’t give up.
"No." Wu Xin shook his head and said, "After he sent me out just now, I can no longer sense your presence. Why, has Lord Linghu left?"
"Look Come or go." A trace of disappointment flashed in Liang Yan's eyes.
"What did he say to you?" Wuxin blinked and asked curiously.
Liang Yan did not answer.
He looked at the direction where Linghu Bai disappeared just now. The clouds were covered with fog and everything was so illusory, just like the current war between the North and the South, which always gave people a feeling that it was not real.
She was unintentional and not stupid. She believed that Liang Yan would not deliberately hide anything from her. If there was something he couldn't tell, it would be better if he didn't know.
"Linghu Bai is a saint who has reached the heavens. He has no plans left. What he just said must be related to the secret of heaven. If more people know about it, there will be more risks. I don't want to ask anymore."
< br>Thinking of this, Wu Xin smiled sweetly and said: "Forget it, if you don't want to say it, don't say it. But it's not suitable to stay here for a long time. Although the Lord of Linghu City has donated This area has been blocked, but there is no guarantee that the people from Tianmu City will not come back. The two of us cannot fight against the entire Beiming army. Let’s go back to the military camp first.”
“Well”<. br>
Liang Yan nodded, and the two of them made secret gestures at the same time, hiding themselves and flying towards the direction of Nanxuan Camp
