Chapter 291 The Little Demon Girl
Yeyue is hidden in the long sea of clouds, not showing her true face, causing the sky to be dark.
At this time, the sky was only dark and dark, covering the surrounding fields.
The flying sword moved forward at high speed in the night.
“No!”
Jiang Shouzhong suddenly spoke up.
The two women who were chatting were stunned and asked in unison: "What's wrong?"
Jiang Shouzhong looked solemn, lowered his head and looked down, focusing on the vast desert terrain below, and said in a deep voice :
"Logically speaking, at this speed, we should have reached the border, but we haven't flown out of this desert yet, and looking at the terrain... it seems that some places are very familiar."
< br>After Jiang Shouzhong's reminder, the two women also noticed something was wrong.
Qu Hongling lowered the sword to a lower height, without the clouds blocking it, he could see more clearly below.
“Hey, it seems like I’m back to my original position.”
Li Nanshuang said in surprise.
Qu Hongling wanted to drop the long sword to the ground, but Jiang Shouzhong said: "Don't go down, keep flying higher."
Qu Hongling naturally obeyed Brother Xiao Jiang's words, and the girl urged Using his magic technique, he slightly tilted the tip of the sword upwards and flew higher into the sky.
Jiang Shouzhong subconsciously hugged the girl's waist tightly.
The blazing white flying sword got higher and higher, passing through the heavy clouds.
When Qu Hongling reached a certain height, it was obvious that he was beginning to struggle, and beads of sweat appeared on his thin white forehead. There seemed to be a sticky force around, dragging the flying sword.
“What is this?”
When the clouds and fog cleared, Jiang Shouzhong looked down.
As far as the eye can see, the undulating sand dunes vaguely form a shape similar to the Bagua diagram.
“Ecstasy!”
Qu Hongling lost her voice.
Jiang Shouzhong frowned and asked: "What is the ecstasy formation?"
The carefree Li Nanshuang also frowned and explained: "This is the formation of the Wanxiang Divine Sect. No surprises. If so, we are now in the realm of the Wanxiang Divine Gate.”
Wanxiang Shenmen...
Jiang Shouzhong felt that this sect was very familiar.
He suddenly remembered that when he escorted Yelu Miaomiao to Fengcheng, the incident that happened in Muling County involved people from the Wanxiang Shenmen.
It was just that the master of the Wanxiang Divine Sect at that time was killed by the Demon Lord.
“Three fellow Taoists, what are you doing flying so high? Since you are here, why not come down and have a drink with me?”
At this moment, a deep voice floated over.
The next moment, the long swords under the three people's feet kept ringing and began to tremble uncontrollably, making it difficult to control.
The edge of the sword sank slowly, with the intention of abandoning its master.
Qu Hongling’s jade face suddenly changed, and she tried her best to concentrate on stabilizing the crumbling sword.
However, even though she tried her best, she could not stop the fall.
Soon, the three people's figures dropped sharply.
The moment the sword was about to touch the ground, Qu Hongling quickly adjusted his posture, hugged Jiang Shouzhong tightly, tapped his toes lightly, and used the last bit of support from the sword body to land lightly.
Li Nanshuang, who landed first, originally planned to catch Jiang Shouzhong, but when he saw Qu Hongling helping him, he instead protected them in front of them.
"Brother Xiao Jiang, are you okay?" Qu Hongling asked with concern.
Jiang Shouzhong shook his head and looked up.
I saw a simple wine shop appearing in the desert.
The appearance of the wine shop is inconspicuous, built of a few rough logs, covered with rough animal skins and cloth curtains, swaying gently in the wind.
An old man sat at a small table, drinking alone.
The old man was wearing a Tai Chi yin and yang suit made of black and white fabrics. He had gray hair and a long beard hanging down. He had an air of immortality.
“What the hell is this?”
Li Nanshuang, who almost fell to the ground, was holding back her anger and slashed at the old man with her knife.
The strong energy erupted from the blade fell on the wine shop, but disappeared without a trace.
The old man looked at the tomb knife in Li Nanshuang's hand with a smile, and said with a smile: "It is not good for a girl to carry a tombstone all day long, it will bring bad luck."
"It's bad luck for you. Uncle, are you playing tricks on this place?"
Li Nanshuang asked.
Qu Hongling looked at the old man carefully with her beautiful eyes, and with a thought in her mind, she said softly: "If I guess correctly, you should be the peak master of the sixth peak of the Wanxiang Shenmen, Tian Duanjiang, right."
The old man stroked his beard and said with a smile: "Sect Master Qu has good eyesight."
"Cut the river with one palm."
Li Nanshuang's expression changed.
There are twelve peaks in the Wanxiang Divine Gate, and each peak owner is a monk with extremely high cultivation level.
Among them, some of the most famous ones include Tian Duanjiang, the master of the sixth peak, whose realm is at the peak of sainthood. It is said that the man, as his name suggests, can really cut off the waves of the river with the power of a palm.
Jiang Shouzhong asked calmly: "Why do you want to stop us from leaving?"
Tian Duanjiang smiled and said nothing, just pointed to the stool in front and made a "please" gesture.
The three of them did not move.
Tian Duanjiang said leisurely: "It's easy to leave this place. Play a game of chess with me, and if you win, you can leave. I keep my promise and keep my word."
"You big-headed devil, you must be sick."
Li Nanshuang was about to raise the knife and chop again, but the old man reminded him with a smile, "Girl, are you sure you want to waste your time? Looking at your anxious looks, you should There must be something important."
Li Nanshuang stared at Shuiling, and finally did not swing the knife.
She turned to Jiang Shouzhong and said, "I can't cook noodles and play chess."
Li Nanshuang, who usually calls himself a chess master, did not show off shamelessly this time. After all, she couldn't cheat when playing chess with such a powerful old man.
Jiang Shouzhong hesitated for a moment and was about to step forward when Qu Hongling reached out to block him.
"Brother Xiao Jiang, let me come."
Qu Hongling walked forward, walked slowly into the wine shop, and sat down on the stool opposite Tian Duanjiang elegantly.
The girl lightly tapped the table with her finger and said in a crisp voice: "Master Tian Feng, I heard that you like to play the end game the most. How about we play a game of end game?"
"I wish you all. .”
Tian Duanjiang smiled and waved his sleeves gently.
In an instant, light and shadow intertwined on the table, and an exquisite chessboard appeared out of thin air, as if it had drawn its real form from the void.
The pieces have already been placed on the chessboard, and it is an endgame.
Qu Hongling holds Bai Zi.
Tian Duanjiang holds Heizi.
Judging from the situation on the chessboard, White has a great advantage. As long as White moves cautiously and moves step by step, he can basically win the game.
Li Nanshuang, who was humble just now, saw the chess game and said angrily: "I can do this, I should have known I won."
Tian Duanjiang narrowed his eyes, half-smiling, and stared at The charming and charming girl in front of her said in a leisurely tone:
"Sect Leader Qu, I thought you were a girl, so I asked you to hold the white position. Whether you can win or not depends on your ability."< br>
Qu Hongling smiled as brightly as a flower: "Thank you very much, Master Tian."
Jiang Shouzhong looked at the heroic girl sitting in front of the chessboard, his mind was slightly confused, and he felt an inexplicable strangeness. There seems to be an indescribable feeling lingering in my chest.
The weak and crying girl before seemed to be a different person now, with a kind of awe naturally exuding from her body, and a hint of unruliness between her brows.
Is such a charming woman really the lively Hong'er from before? Snap!
Qu Hongling dropped the chess piece.
Tian Duanjiang had a faint smile on his face, almost without any pause, and drew an arc in the air with his hand, like a snake winding, and a sunspot fell steadily.
Qu Hongling thought for a moment and made another move.
And Tian Duanjiang also followed Luozi at an extremely fast speed.
As the chess game progresses, White, who was originally in a good situation, begins to lose ground. Hei, who has reversed the situation, presses and suppresses him step by step. It seems that he is about to lose.
Qu Hongling frowned slightly and began to hesitate.
Even Li Nanshuang, who was a bad chess player, realized that the situation on the chessboard was extremely unfavorable to Qu Hongling.
She opened her mouth to remind him, but was afraid of disturbing the other party, so she simply slowly grasped the handle of the knife.
I thought that if the old man didn't let them go, he wouldn't understand the restrictions on him and try his best.
"Sect Leader Qu, do you want to play again?"
As Tian Duanjiang made the winning move, the situation completely turned upside down.
Qu Hongling has almost no chance of making a comeback.
The old man smiled broadly and stroked his beard: "It seems that the three little friends want to stay here with me, the old man."
"Not necessarily."
However, Qu Hongling, who was originally worried and helpless, slowly relaxed his brows at this time.
The corners of the girl's lips are slightly raised, her pretty face is glowing again, and her voice is gentle, like an oriole singing willow: "There are three major formations in the ecstasy formation, namely Liuhe Complex, Bagua Lihe, and Qiyao Reverse.
Now the formation we are in has a Liuhe countercurrent, so that what is above is below, what is left is right, what is in front is behind, and what is behind is in front. The Qi of the five elements also reversed accordingly.
In other words, the formation we are in now is the Qiyao Inversion Formation..."
The girl's parallel fingers are used to form a formula, which looks like an orchid blooming in the beginning. Her left hand is like a breeze blowing on her face, on the chessboard. With a tap, the chessboard suddenly changed.
The layout on it was magically reversed.
Tian Duanjiang's expression suddenly changed and he stared at the chessboard in disbelief.
The girl raised her voice and said: "Heaven and earth are in harmony, and the true chapter is revealed in the upside down world. The hexagrams are complicated and the order is chaotic. Only through silence can a glimmer of life be seen in the chaos.
One If the piece falls in the 'Kun' position, you can use the momentum of 'Qian' to affect the overall situation..."
As he spoke, Qu Hongling held a chess piece between his two long fingers, which was heavy in one place. The space falls.
One child determines the outcome!
In an instant, the chessboard glowed with white light, and the black chess pieces on the chessboard turned into nothingness like smoke.
Big win!
Li Nanshuang looked dumbfounded.
Only then did she realize it, clapped her hands and said:
"It turns out that the chess game was upside down at the beginning. On the surface, it seemed that the little tear bag had the advantage, but in fact it was at a disadvantage. It's just that the little one was at a disadvantage. Teabag deliberately showed weakness and confused the other party.”
Qu Hongling looked at Tian Duanjiang, who had an ugly face, and said with a sweet smile: "Master Tian, I accept the concession. In fact... your level of chess is not high at all."
Qu Hongling is not Deliberately belittle the other person.
Tian Duanjiang just relies on formations to confuse the opponent. Once the formations are seen through, his true level will naturally be revealed.
Tian Duanjiang stared blankly at the chessboard for a moment, and sighed: "I am quite clever, but I am mistaken by my cleverness. Sect Leader Qu is indeed powerful. I am willing to admit defeat, you can go."
After that, he smashed the chessboard into pieces with one palm.
The surrounding space seemed to shake, and a restriction could be vaguely felt disappearing slowly.
“But I still want to remind you.”
Tian Duanjiang suddenly said, “The reason why I stopped you is not because you have broken into the realm of the Wanxiang Divine Gate, but because someone Inform me that you will be stopped here.”
“Are you from the imperial court?” Jiang Shouzhong asked.
He remembered that although Wanxiang Shenmen belonged to the Jianghu sect, it was completely dependent on the imperial court.
It is not an exaggeration to say that he is a lackey of the imperial court.
Tian Duanjiang shook his head and said: "I can't reveal too much. Anyway, you should leave as soon as possible. To be honest, I could have used force to keep you here, but since I lost, I must keep my word.< br>
I will give you a stick of incense. If you still stay here, I will not show mercy any more.”
Jiang Shouzhong handed over: “Thank you Lord Tian.”
< br>One stick of incense is enough time to leave this area.
But, is this old man really willing to let them go?
Jiang Shouzhong looked at Qu Hongling and winked.
The girl returned a reassuring smile and saluted the old man: "Thank you, Master Tian. Since Master Tian is willing to let us go, can you close the ecstasy circle?"
< br>Tian Duanjiang frowned: "Didn't I close it?"
Qu Hongling smiled and narrowed her crescent eyes, and a small pear dimple bloomed on the side of her cheek: "A fire is made in the lake, and in the fire Zangze... Master Tian Feng unlocked the inner formation, not the outer formation.”
Hearing this, Jiang Shouzhong and Li Nanshuang's expressions changed.
Li Nanshuang scolded: "Smelly old man, I thought you were kind enough to let us go, but it turned out to be a trick!"
Seeing that he was discovered, Tian Duanjiang stopped pretending and sneered:
"It seems that Sect Leader Qu is very familiar with the formation, but this outer formation is the main formation of the sect. I have no power to close it. You have to find a way to solve it yourself."
Li Nanshuang's face was full of smiles. Angry face: "Aren't you cheating?"
Tian Duanjiang said coldly: "I am not breaking my promise, I just promised you to leave and will not take action against you. As for whether you can get out of the ecstasy array within a stick of incense, it depends on your ability."
Qu Hongling There was a hint of cunning in her eyes: "In this case, the little girl can only be offended."
As the girl's voice fell, the table where the chessboard was previously placed was suddenly lifted by an invisible force and floated up. .
Immediately afterwards, several delicate swords pierced the four corners of the table.
The tabletop cracked with fine lines, forming a Bagua pattern.
The Bagua pattern rotated, and the ground around the wine shop suddenly responded. Purple light pillars burst out of the ground, rising up like a fountain from the wine shop, trapping Tian Duanjiang inside.
In an instant, a small sword array was formed.
Tian Duanjiang was startled, then laughed angrily: "Humph, you want to trap me with just this little trick!?"
After that, the old man swung towards the sword array sleeve.
However, what surprised him was that no matter how he attacked, he could not shake the surrounding sword formation even a bit.
The old man was horrified: "What did you do?"
Qu Hongling put his hands behind his back and stood on tiptoe slightly. His smile contained a bit of playfulness and a bit of pride: "Master Tianfeng, I'm just using it temporarily. Your formation is here to trap you.”
It turns out that Qu Hongling had already seen through the enchantment formation.
The formation eye is under the chessboard table.
It was just that during the game of chess, he secretly placed the Phoenix Sword in the center of the formation.
During the previous game of chess, Qu Hongling frowned from time to time. On the surface, he seemed to be thinking about the chess game, but in fact, he was deliberately delaying time and quietly seizing control of the formation.
She knew that the other party would not keep them without any reason, let alone let them leave without any reason.
So set the trap in advance.
Use the opponent's formation to temporarily hold the opponent back.
At this time Tian Duanjiang already understood that he had been fooled by the yellow-haired girl because of his negligence and contempt. He was shocked and angry: "The little demon girl is so cunning and scheming that she dares to cheat!"
As a monk who has reached the holy realm, he was tricked by a little girl from the Tianhuang realm. It is simply a shame. It's also my fault that I have always paid attention to these three people.
Qu Hongling ignored him and took out his long sword and said to Jiang Shouzhong: "Brother Xiao Jiang, let's leave quickly. I only temporarily controlled the formation to hold him back. I can't hold on for long."
Jiang Shouzhong and Li Nanshuang no longer hesitated and raised their swords.
The long sword dragged the sword light and flew towards the distance at high speed, quickly disappearing from Tian Duanjiang's sight.
