The wheels of the carriage rumbled, they travelled day and night time with out stopping.

Everybody roughly felt they’re travelling within the south-east path.
They travelled for 8 days, on the ninth day they travelled on mountain path early within the morning. As they travelled until afternoon, the terrain grew to become steeper and steeper, finally the carriage can not transfer up the steep slope. The disciples of XingXiu Sect ordered XuanNan and the remainder to exit the carriage. They stroll for an hour and got here to a dense bamboo forest, the surroundings is gorgeous and serene, there’s a big bamboo pavilion beside a mountain stream, the pavilion is elegant, a variety of effort and time should have been spent to construct it, the bamboo forest seems to be just like the pavilion, the pavilion seems to be just like the bamboo forest, unexpectedly its troublesome to distinguish between the bamboo forest and pavilion.

Everybody had barely seat them correctly within the pavilion when 4 individuals stroll hurriedly up the mountain path. The entrance two males are XingXiu disiciples, when the carriage cease they went on forward to scout or ship information. The opposite two younger males behind them wore nation peasant garments, they stroll in the direction of Ding ChunQiu, bow to pay their respect and offered a letter.
Ding ChunQiu unsealed the letter and took a glance, he sneered: “Excellent, superb. You continue to have but to confess defeat and want to struggle until loss of life, i’ll play with you.”
The younger man took a firework tube from his bosom, he ignited it, there’s a ‘Peng’ sound and the fireworks flew up into the sky. Unusual firework tube would have a ‘Peng’ sound, the firework will journey until mid air and there can be a ‘Pai’ sound, the firework would explode and scatter, however when this firework journey until mid-air, there may be three ‘Pai’ sound. Feng ASan whispered to Kang GuangLing: “Elder brother, this firework is made by our Sect.”
Quickly after a bunch of individuals got here up the mountain path, there may be round 30 individuals, all of them carrying nation peasant garments and so they appear to be carrying lengthy bladed weapons. As they obtained nearer, everybody noticed they didn’t carry any weapon however merely bamboo pole. Between two bamboo pole is a rope web, it enable somebody to take a seat on it.
Ding ChunQiu sneered: “The host is taking excellent care of holiday makers, everybody do not be shy, please sit on it.” Instantly XuanNan and the remainder sat on the rope web. Two males lifted every bamboo pole and so they shortly ran up the mountain path.
Ding ChunQiu took the lead, his huge sleeves fluttering flippantly as he travelled. Ding ChunQiu operating pace was not hurried, however he appears to be floating just like the wind as he travelled up the precipitous mountain path, his ft didn’t contact the bottom, right away he entered the bamboo forest up forward.
When Deng BaiChuan and the remainder obtained hit by his [Great Energy Dissolving Skill], they had been resentful, they felt this evil monster obtained fortunate and injure them, they didn’t assume they misplaced the struggle, however once they noticed his beautiful lightness martial artwork, its actually true talent and never some low-cost trick, they can’t assist however gasp with admiration and contemplated: “Even when he would not use his evil demonic expertise, i’m nonetheless not his match.” Feng BoE praised: “The lightness martial artwork of this outdated satan is really excellent, respect, respect!” as he stated this, the remainder of XingXiu disciples all competed with one another to reward, they stated Ding ChunQiu is peerless and the ultimate, an incredible grasp since historical occasions and even Damo fall brief in opposition to him, their flattery is absolutely intense and unprecedented.
Bao BuTong stated: “Hey you outdated chaps, the martial arts of XingXiu Sect is certainly higher every other sect or college, nobody has ever obtain it up to now and nobody will ever obtain it sooner or later.” The XingXiu disciples had been excited, certainly one of them ask: “In your opinion, what’s the finest talent from our Sect?” Bao BuTong stated: “There may be multiple, at the very least three.” The XingXiu disciples had been much more glad, they ask in unison: “Which three expertise?”
Bao BuTong stated: “The first talent is boot-licking talent. If this talent isn’t effectively educated, i’m afraid you will not survive for greater than 1 day in your Sect. The 2nd talent is horn-tooting talent, if you happen to do not brag and exaggerate the martial arts of your Sect, not solely would your Grasp despise you, your fellow apprentices would additionally despise you, you will not have any standing within the Sect. The third talent is shameless talent. In case you do not kill your individual conscience and be shameless, how will you grasp the divine boot-licking talent and divine horn-tooting talent.”
As he end his phrases, he knew the XingXiu disciples can be indignant and indignant, they’d all come and punch and kick him, but when he do not say it out loud its like having fish bone caught in his throat, his not glad except he spit it out, unexpectedly all of the XingXiu disciples nod their head in silence. One disciple stated: “Outdated chap you’re extraordinarily intelligent, you actually perceive the fantastic expertise of our Sect. However this boot-licking, horn-tooting and shameless expertise, its actually troublesome to coach. Regular persons are used to worldly life, they really feel some issues are good and a few issues are dangerous. In case you harbour ideas on good and evil, proper and unsuitable, you’ll put in twice the hassle however get half the end result when coaching the shameless talent, you’ll fail on the most important second. The inspiration to those 3 divine expertise is to distort the reality and be unable to differentiate proper and unsuitable.”
Bao BuTong was initially mocking and ridiculing them, he didn’t anticipate these individuals to treat their wrongdoing with equanimity, he had some doubts and can’t assist however really feel bizarre, he chortle and stated: “The divine expertise of your noble Sect is really profound and matchless, i actually admire it, i want to invite nice immortal to enlighten me.”
When the XingXiu disciple heard Bao BuTong handle him as ‘Nice Immortal’, he felt elated and smug, he stated: “You aren’t from our Sect, i can’t impart the secrets and techniques of those divine expertise to you. However i’ve some superficial ideas, there isn’t any hurt in sharing it with you. An important precept is to reward your grasp as if his a god. If he fart……”
Bao BuTong interrupted and stated: “then it should be aromatic. It’s important to inhale and exhale loudly, reward wholeheartedly……” the particular person stated: “Typically talking you’re right, however there are some minor flaws, you can’t inhale and exhale loudly, the proper means is to inhale loudly, exhale softly.” Bao BuTong stated: “Appropriate, right, nice immortal is right in pointing it out, if you happen to exhale loudly it reveals you dislike your grasp’s fart…..that his fart isn’t too aromatic.”
The particular person nod his head and stated: “Not dangerous, you’re gifted and have the innate expertise, if you happen to enter our Sect you’ll have appreciable achievements, its a pity that you simply took the unsuitable path and entered a heretical college. Though the talents of our Sect has infinite variation, however the basic expertise will not be too difficult, you solely want to recollect, kill your individual conscience and you’ll kind of obtain success.” As for ‘distort the reality and be unable to differentiate proper and unsuitable’ its troublesome to keep up when you’re alone within the exterior world, however once you be part of our sect you’ll robotically know its the correct factor to do and you will not discover it troublesome anymore.
Bao BuTong nod his head repeatedly and stated: “Only one sentence from you, its higher than learning for 10 years. I’m actually inquisitive about your sect, i can not wait to affix your noble sect, i’m wondering if nice immortal can suggest me?” the particular person smiled and stated: “If you wish to be part of our sect, its actually simpler stated than accomplished, there are quite a few difficult exams, i do not assume you’ll be able to face up to it.” One other disciple stated: “There’s too many individuals right here, it isn’t handy to inform him. The one surnamed Bao, if you happen to actually intend to affix our sect it’s important to wait till our Grasp is in an excellent temper, i can put in a couple of good phrases for you. Our sect recruits individuals from all over the place, your fundamentals will not be dangerous, if Grasp is benevolent and settle for you as his disciple, you’ll have some achievements sooner or later.” Bao BuTong stated earnestly: “Many thanks, many thanks! The benevolence of nice immortal, i’ll keep in mind it for so long as i dwell.”
Deng BaiChuan, GongYe Gan and the remainder heard him making enjoyable of those XingXiu disciples, they can’t assist however really feel glad and ridiculous, they thought: “There may be actually such shameless and despicable particular person on this world, he takes delight in bullshitting and boot-licking, its actually uncommon.”
As they saved speaking, the group entered a valley. The valley is filled with pine bushes, because the wind blew previous, the bushes appeared like huge waves. They travelled a couple of li contained in the forest and arrived at 3 wood home. In entrance of a home, below a giant tree, 2 males sat reverse one another. For the person sitting on the left hand facet, there are 3 males standing behind him.

Sitting on the proper hand facet is a brief, skinny and wizened outdated man, on the left hand facet is a younger gentleman. Bao BuTong acknowledge the younger gentleman as Duan Yu, his curiosity wane and he contemplated: “I’m at all times impolite to this younger chap, as we speak i met with a giant misfortune and stumble upon him, he will certainly ridicule and mock me.”
He noticed the chessboard was engraved on a bluestone, the black and white chess-pieces are all translucent and glowing, each facet made greater than 100 strikes. Ding ChunQiu slowly transfer nearer to look at the chess match. The brief outdated man grasp a black piece and made a transfer, instantly each his eyebrow narrowed, it appears he noticed the fantastic variation within the scenario.

All of a sudden, Kang GuangLing, Fan BaiLing and the remainder of ‘Eight Mates of HanGu’, all of them battle to face up from the rope web and so they transfer to inside a zhang of the bluestone chessboard, they knelt down concurrently.
Bao BuTong had a shock and stated: “What are you individuals doing?” as he end talking the reality hit him, this brief and wizened outdated man should be the Deaf Mute Outdated Man ‘Mr Clever’, his additionally the Grasp of the ‘Eight Mates of HanGu’. However his the arch enemy of the Outdated Freak of XingXiu Ding ChunQiu, since his enemy is right here how come his nonetheless leisurely enjoying chess? Furthermore, his chess opponent isn’t some necessary particular person however a bookworm who do not know any martial arts.
Kang GuangLing stated: “Senior you’re nonetheless wholesome and robust, the eight of us are extraordinarily glad to see you.” After being expelled by Mr Clever Su XingHe, the eight of them dare not handle him as Grasp. Fan BaiLing stated: “Grasp XuanNan from Shaolin additionally got here right here to see you.”

Everybody heard Xue MuHua narrate how their Grasp was compelled to be deaf and mute, unexpectedly Su XingHe spoke, it appears his decided to danger his life and struggle with Ding ChunQiu until loss of life. Kang GuangLing, Xue MuHua and the remainder can’t assist however flip their head and have a look at Ding ChunQiu, they felt excited and anxious.
XuanNan stated: “You might be too sort, you’re too sort!” he noticed how Su XingHe valued this chess match, he contemplated: “This particular person is slowed down by an excessive amount of stuff, portray, calligraphy, music and chess, no surprise his martial arts fell brief in opposition to his youthful martial brother.”
All of a sudden Duan Yu stated: “So be it, i’ll make this transfer!” as he end he made a transfer and place a white piece on the chessboard. Su XingHe was delighted, he nod his head, his expression beneficial, he made one other transfer together with his black piece, Duan Yu already ready the subsequent 10 strikes, instantly he made a transfer together with his white piece, Su XingHe made one other transfer together with his again piece, each of them made 10 strikes every, Duan Yu gave an extended sigh, shakes his head and stated: “Senior, your ‘Zhen Lengthy’ chess formation is extraordinarily profound and ingenious, junior can’t break it.”
It appears Su XingHe gained the chess match, however his expression was grieved and distressed, he stated: “Gentleman, you ideas are thorough and meticulous, these 10 strikes neared perfection, however you fail to assume one step deeper, what a pity, what a pity. Alas, what a pity, what a pity!” he stated ‘what a pity’ 4 occasions, it appears his remorse is absolutely heartfelt and real. Duan Yu took 10 white piece off the chessboard and place them right into a small wood field. Su XingHe additionally took 10 black piece off the chessboard. The chessboard confirmed the unique chess formation.
Duan Yu retreated to the facet, he gaze on the chess formation, he was in a daze and thought: “This ‘Zhen Lengthy’ is similar one i noticed at WuLiang Cave. Mr Clever should be associated to that fairy sister, afterward i’ll secretly ask him, i can’t let anybody hear it else they are going to rush to see the fairy sister, is not that blasphemous?” Fan BaiLing from ‘Eight Mates of HanGu’ is a chess fanatic, when he noticed the chess formation, he knew his Grasp was not enjoying chess with the younger gentleman, his Grasp deployed the ‘Zhen Lengthy’ chess formation and this younger gentleman tried to interrupt it however he failed. He couldn’t see clearly whereas kneeling, he stood up and stretch his neck, making an attempt to know the scenario.
Su XingHe stated: “All of you rise up! BaiLing, this ‘Zhen Lengthy’ is extraordinarily necessary and important, come over right here and have a look at it correctly, it is going to be fantastic if you happen to can break it.”
Fan BaiLing was excited, he stated: “Sure!” he obtained up and stood beside the chessboard, he focus his consideration on the chessboard.

It is a puzzle set by somebody, its not a chess match between two particular person, thus it usually troublesome to calculate when to assault or defend. Unusual ‘Zhen Lengthy’ have at the very least 10 chess-piece and at most 45 chess-piece, however this one have 200 chess-piece, the chess match is almost over.” GongYe Gang has restricted data on chess, he observe for some time and couldn’t perceive it, thus he didn’t hassle to have a look at it anymore.
Fan BaiLing analysis chess intensively for over 10 years, his actually an professional within the discipline, he noticed this chess formation had alternative to plunder, dwell, lengthy life, counter-attack, endure assault, escape of encirclement, its actually extraordinarily advanced and complex. His was roused mentally and concentrated, after a short while he felt dizzy and light-headed, he solely calculated the chance of survival for one of many white chess-piece on the decrease proper nook, however he felt his blood move rolling and clashing at his chest. He composed himself and concentrated once more, he calculated once more, initially he thought the white chess-piece on the decrease proper nook was lifeless but it surely truly had probability to outlive, however to do this he must kill the black chess-piece beside it but it surely entails quite a few strikes, he re-calculated once more, instantly all he noticed was darkness, he stick out his tongue and spurted a giant mouthful of recent blood.
Su XingHe have a look at him coldly and stated: “This chess formation is extraordinarily troublesome, your expertise is proscribed, though your chess talent isn’t dangerous however you won’t be able to interrupt the chess formation, furthermore there may be this evil traitor Ding ChunQiu utilizing his sorcery close by, his making an attempt to enchant and tempt your soul, its just too harmful, you continue to need to carrying on considering easy methods to break the formation?” Fan BaiLing stated: “Life and loss of life is pre-determined, disci…..i…..i….am decided to make an all-out effort.” Su XingHe nod his head and stated: “Then you definitely keep it up and slowly assume by.” Fan BaiLing gaze on the chess formation once more, his physique swayed and he spurted one other huge mouthful of recent blood.
Ding ChunQiu sneered: “Desperately in search of your individual loss of life, why hassle? This mechanism is made by that outdated thief, its initially used for tormenting individuals, it killed and injured many individuals, Fan BaiLing you’re strolling right into a entice.”
Su XingHe look askance, he look at Ding ChunQiu and stated: “What you handle your Grasp as?” Ding ChunQiu stated: “His an outdated thief, i name him an outdated thief!” Su XingHe stated: “Deaf Mute Outdated Man is not deaf and mute, you have to have recognized the underlying cause.” Ding ChunQiu stated: “Glorious! You break our pledge, your courting loss of life, do not you dare blame me.”
Su XingHe lifted a giant rock by his facet and place it beside XuanNan, he stated: “Nice Grasp please sit.”
XuanNan estimated this huge rock weigh at the very least 200 catties, Su XingHe is a withered, brief and skinny outdated man, he won’t even weigh 80 catties however he effortlessly lifted this big stone, his inside power should be outstanding, if he didn’t lose his inside power naturally he would have the ability to obtain the identical feat however he won’t have the ability to raise it so effortlessly and leisurely as if nothing had occur, he press his palms collectively and stated: “Many thanks!” he sat on high of the stone.
Su XingHe stated: “This ‘Zhen Lengthy’ chess formation is created by my deceased Grasp. Grasp spent 3 years of his life blood earlier than finishing this formation, he lengthy for a succesful particular person within the current age to interrupt the formation. I personally studied this formation meticulously for 30 years, however i can’t resolve the thriller behind it.” As he end talking, his gaze swept throughout XuanNan, Duan Yu and Fan BaiLing, he continued: “Nice Grasp XuanNan is proficient in Buddhism, the essence of Buddhism lies in enlightenment. Years of painstaking work and cultivation, you won’t be equal to some fated clever one that has a flash of enlightenment. The artwork of chess can also be the identical, 8-9 yr outdated child with overflowing expertise can usually beat a high rating professional in chess match. Though i can’t resolve the thriller behind the chess formation, however there are such a lot of proficient people below the heaven, it can’t be that none is ready to break it. My Grasp had a want when his nonetheless alive, if somebody can break this chess formation it might fulfil his want, though Grasp is not on this world, his spirit can be gratified if he is aware of of it.”
XuanNan contemplated: “This Mr Clever and his disciples, their habits appear to cross down, zither, chess, calligraphy and portray, all of them grew to become fanatic, they spent their lifetime of intelligence and knowledge on these irrelevant stuff, thus Ding ChunQiu ran amok with out obstruction and nobody can management him, that is regrettable.”
Su XingHe continued talking: “My youthful martial brother,” he pointed at Ding ChunQiu and continued; “he betrayed our sect, he trigger our Grasp to drown in hate and remorse and cross away, he injure me until i can’t retaliate. I ought to have killed myself to accompany Grasp, however i recall that Grasp had an unfulfilled want, if i can’t discover somebody to interrupt the chess formation i can’t account to Grasp when i die, thus i endured humiliation and survive till now. All these years, i abide by the pact made by my martial brother, i can’t communicate a single phrase, not solely did i develop into the Deaf Mute Outdated Man, i even drive my newly recruited disciples and followers to develop into deaf and mute. Sigh, 30 years, i achieved nothing, this chess formation nonetheless stays unbroken. This gentleman Duan, admittedly his good-looking, pure and unrestrained……..”
Bao BuTong interrupted: “This gentleman Duan isn’t essentially good-looking, pure and unrestrained is much more unlikely, furthermore, how is good-looking, pure and unrestrained associated to enjoying chess? His missing, his missing!” Su XingHe stated: “Its associated, very a lot associated.” Bao BuTong stated: “Outdated Mister your look, hei hei, i do not assume you’re good-looking.” Su XingHe repair his stare upon him for a brief time period, he gave a faint smile. Bao BuTong stated: “You should be considering that Bao BuTong is much more ugly and queer in comparison with you….”
Su XingHe ignored him and continued talking: “The ten strikes made by gentleman Duan, its already beautiful to the intense, i had monumental expectations, however he nonetheless lack 1 transfer and finally he misplaced.”
Duan Yu expression was ashamed, he stated: “My aptitude is low, i can’t repay the nice kindness proven by senior sir, i’m actually ashamed…..”
All of a sudden Fan BaiLing cry out loudly, he spurted recent blood violently and collapsed backward. Su XingHe raised his left hand, there was 3 ‘Chi’ sound, 3 chess-piece flew out and hit the acupoints on Fan BaiLing’s chest, this stopped him from spurting blood.
Simply as everybody was being startled, instantly there’s a slapping sound, a white grain flew in mid-air and hit the chessboard. Su XingHe have a look at the chessboard, he noticed a small pine nut, its a freshly shelled pine nut and it landed on the seventh row ninth column, that is the essential level in breaking the ‘Zhen Lengthy’ formation. Su XingHe raised his head, on the left hand facet of a pine tree 5 zhang away, he noticed the nook of a yellow gown, clearly somebody is hiding there.
Su XingHe was startled but glad, he stated: “One other succesful particular person has arrived, outdated man is extraordinarily glad.” As he was about to reply together with his black chess-piece, instantly he heard a delicate sound, a small black object flew from his rear and landed on the eighth row eighth column, it occur to be the place which Su XingHe was about to put his chess piece.
Everybody cry out in shock, they flip round however didn’t spot the shadow of the particular person. The pine bushes on the proper hand facet will not be tall, if somebody is hiding within the bushes he can be noticed simply, nobody is aware of the place his hiding. Su XingHe noticed the small black object was a small bark off the pine tree, its touchdown place extraordinarily correct, he was secretly astonished. After the black object landed, one other white grain flew out from the pine tree on the left hand facet, it landed on the fifth row sixth column.
One other ‘Chi’ sound and a black grain hover up within the sky, instantly afterwards it drop straight down and landed on the 4th row fifth column. The black grain flew up in a spiral, nobody knew the place it originated from, the black grain zigzag as much as mid-air and but it landed precisely, this talent in firing hidden projectile is really astonishing. All of the spectators can’t assist however admire it deeply and so they cheered.
The applauses had but to finish when a transparent and brilliant voice resonated from between a department and leaf of a pine tree: “Gentleman Murong, you got here to interrupt this ‘Zhen Lengthy’, please forgive junior monk for being daring.” The department and leaf rustled and there’s a cool breeze, a monk stood beside the chessboard. The monk is carrying a grey cassock, his face appears to be emanating gentle much like that of gems, his carrying a faint smile.
Duan Yu was startled, he thought: “The nice satan Jumozhi comes once more!” he contemplated once more: “Do not inform me the white grains are fired by gentleman Murong? This gentleman Murong, i lastly get to fulfill him as we speak?”
He noticed Jumozhi press his palms collectively, he bow in the direction of Su XingHe, Ding ChunQiu and XuanNan, he stated: “Junior monk acquired Mr Clever invitation card whereas travelling en route, i overestimated my capabilities and got here right here to fulfill specialists from everywhere in the world.” He stated once more: “Gentleman Murong, please reveal your self!”
There’s a clear and brilliant laughter, two individuals emerge from behind a pine tree. Duan Yu instantly felt his imaginative and prescient flip darkish, ears ringing, bitter style in his mouth, his whole physique like oven. The particular person’s determine is sleek, steps unhurried, he yearn for this particular person day and night time, its Wang YuYan.
Her face revealed admiration and love, she gaze longingly on the younger gentleman beside her. Duan Yu adopted her gaze and have a look at the person, the particular person is round 27-28 years of age, his carrying a light-weight yellow gown, an extended sword hanging by his waist, he floated over, his look good-looking, pure, unrestrained and chic.
When Duan Yu noticed him he felt half his physique go chilly, his eyes turned pink, his tears almost move down, he thought: “Everybody says gentleman Murong is a dragon amongst human, its actually a effectively deserved status. No surprise Miss Wang adores him tremendously. Sigh, i’m destined to endure hardship and calamity my whole life.” He felt remorseful, he sigh in despair, his unwilling to lift his head to have a look at Wang YuYan’s expression, however he can’t resist and secretly sneak a look at her. Her face is radiant and glowing, it appears as if her whole physique is smiling, he has by no means seen her so glad earlier than. The 2 of them stroll close to him however Wang YuYan ignored Duan Yu, she didn’t flip to greet him. Duan Yu contemplated: “She by no means had me in her coronary heart, beforehand after we had been collectively, she solely thought of her cousin.”
Deng BaiChuan, GongYe Gan, Bao BuTong, Feng BoE, all 4 of them rush ahead to welcome him. GongYe Gan whispered and reported the origins of Su XingHe, Ding ChunQiu and XuanNan to Murong Fu. Bao BuTong stated: “This bookworm is surnamed Duan, he would not know martial arts, he misplaced when enjoying chess simply now.”
Murong Fu mingled and paid his respects to everybody, his speech modest and amiable, he made buddies simply. The identify ‘Gusu Murong’ shook the whole world, everybody didn’t anticipate him to be such a sublime and noble younger man, everybody admired him, even Ding ChunQiu was well mannered and courteous in the direction of him.
Murong Fu met Duan Yu on the finish, he stated: “Brother Duan, how are you.” Duan Yu expression was distressed, he shakes his head and stated: “Your good, i…..i’m not good in any respect.” Wang YuYan cry out in shock and stated: “Gentleman Duan, your additionally right here.” Duan Yu stated: “Sure, i….i…..” Wang YuYan stated: “Gentleman Duan, you looking for Ah Bi? My cousin already despatched somebody to escort her again to Suzhou. There isn’t a one at dwelling to deal with issues and we actually fear about it.” Duan Yu responded weakly.
Murong Fu glared at him a couple of occasions and ignored him, he stood beside the chessboard, grasp a white chess-piece and made a transfer on the chessboard. Jumozhi gave a faint smile and stated: “Gentleman Murong, though your martial artwork is powerful, however i’m afraid your chess talent is peculiar.” As he end he made a transfer with the black chess-piece.

Murong Fu coronary heart was shaken, all types of emotions effectively up in his coronary heart, he saved eager about the 2 phrase: “You may’t even break free from my tangling across the borders, you continue to need to break by and try and seize the throne?”
His imaginative and prescient progressively turned fuzzy, the white and black chess-piece on the chessboard appear to show into generals and troopers, males and horses to the east and west, you encompass me, i encompass you, hopelessly tangling with one another and killing. Murong Fu hopelessly noticed how his personal white troops obtained surrounded by enemy black troops, he sprint to the left and proper however he cannot break by the encirclement, he felt increasingly more anxious and stated: “My Murong household exhausted its future and wasted all planning and schemes. I put in my utmost effort my whole life however every little thing is only a dream! My life is over, what else am i able to say?” instantly he shout loudly, he draw out his lengthy sword and slice throughout his neck.
In the course of the time when Murong Fu was in a daze, Wang YuYan, Duan Yu, Deng BaiChuan, GongYe Gan and the remainder all saved their eyes on him. When Murong Fu instantly draw his sword to commit suicide, no one anticipated this transfer from him, Deng BaiChuan and the remainder instantly scrambled over to save lots of him, however they already misplaced their inside power and was a step slower.
Duan Yu pointed his index finger and shouted: “You can’t do this!” instantly there’s a ‘chi’ sound, the lengthy sword held by Murong Fu flash, there’s a ‘dang’ sound and the sword drop on the bottom.
Jumozhi smiled and stated: “Gentleman Duan, what an excellent transfer from the [Six Meridians Divine Sword]!”
Murong Fu had a shock when his sword was taken away, his lastly snap out of his fantasy. Wang YuYan held onto his hand, she shake him repeatedly and stated: “Cousin! You may’t break the chess formation, however why so tense? Why commit suicide?” tears rolled down her cheek as she end talking.
Murong Fu stated blankly: “What is going on on?” Wang YuYan stated: “Fortunately gentleman Duan shot down your lengthy sword, else…..else….” GongYe Gan stated: “Younger grasp, this chess formation enchants and enslave your thoughts and soul, there should be some illusionary approach in it, Younger grasp please do not give it some thought anymore.” Murong Fu flip his head and stated to Duan Yu: “The transfer simply now, is it actually the sword transfer from [Six Meridians Divine Sword]? A pity i by no means see it, are you able to show one other transfer and let me broaden my data.”
Duan Yu gave a look at Jumozhi, his afraid that if he use one other transfer from the [Six Meridians Divine Sword] Jumozhi would come over and seize him, this sword play is unstable, typically it really works typically it would not work, if the evil monk actually assault he would have issues resisting, he was afraid and shortly transfer 3 steps to the left and keep far-off from Jumozhi, in between them is Zhu DanChen and the remainder of his guards, solely now did he reply Murong Fu: “I…..i used to be hasty, it simply occur by probability, its troublesome for me to execute it once more. You actually did not see it simply now?”
Murong Fu expression was ashamed, he stated: “My thoughts was muddled and half-conscious, much like being possessed.”
Bao BuTong shouted loudly: “Sure, it should be the Outdated Freak of XingXiu utilizing his sorcery, younger grasp it’s important to be extraordinarily cautious!”
Murong Fu gave a fast look at Ding ChunQiu, he stated to Duan Yu: “I fell prey to sorcery, i can not thanks sufficient for saving me. Brother Duan, you realize the [Six Meridians Divine Sword], are you from the Dali’s Duan household?”
All of a sudden a voice floated from a distant place: “Who’s from Dali’s Duan household? Is it Duan ZhengChun?” the voice is from ‘Overflowing with Evil’ Duan YanQing.
Zhu DanChen and the remainder countenance change. They heard one other voice, its like metallic rubbing in opposition to one another, the voice shouted: “Our boss is the real Duan from Dali, the remainder are all pretend.” Duan Yu gave a faint smile, he contemplated: “Ah, my disciple is right here.”
When the shouting of the ‘Crocodile Deity of Southern Sea’ ended, an individual got here up from the underside of the mountain path with fast steps, his physique motion is extraordinarily quick, the particular person is Yun ZhongHe, he shouted: “The 4 Nice Evils pay a go to to Mr Clever, we sincerely come to attend your chess meet.” Su XingHe stated: “Welcome” as he end talking, Yun ZhongHe already floated in entrance of them.
After some time, Duan YanQing, Ye ErNiang, Crocodile Deity of Southern Sea, all three of them arrive collectively. Crocodile Deity of Southern Sea shouted loudly: “When our boss acquired the invitation card his extraordinarily delighted, he postponed all his present affairs and shortly got here down right here to the chess meet, his martial artwork is unequalled below the heaven, his even higher than me Yue LaoEr. If anybody of you isn’t persuade, come over right here and play 3 strikes of chess with him. You individuals need to struggle one or one, or everybody merely come at us collectively? How, why aren’t you taking out your weapons?” Ye ErNiang stated: “LaoSan, do not speak garbage! We’re enjoying chess, not utilizing martial arts to struggle, why the necessity for weapons?” Crocodile Deity of Southern Sea stated: “You might be speaking garbage, if we do not use our martial arts to struggle, then our boss rush hurriedly over right here for what?”
Duan YanQing gaze steadily on the chess formation, his in deep thought, after an extended very long time, his left crutch prolonged into the small chess field and contact flippantly, the tip of the crutch appears to have some sort of suction drive because it attracted the white chess-piece, he place the white piece on the chessboard.
XuanNan praised: “The martial arts of the Duan household from Dali is absolutely unrivalled below the southern sky, your status is effectively deserved and never empty.”
Duan Yu knew Duan YanQing from the day he performed chess in opposition to the Yellow-Forehead Monk, Duan YanQing’s inside power is deep and profound and his chess talent is equally excessive, there is a risk that he may truly break this ‘Zhen Lengthy’. Zhu DanChen whispered to Duan Yu: “Younger grasp, allow us to go! Do not waste this chance.” However firstly, Duan Yu is to seek out out if Duan YanQing can break the chess formation, secondly, he lastly get to see Wang YuYan, even when the sky collapses he won’t ever depart her, he absentmindedly agreed to Zhu DanChen’s suggestion however he saved on strolling nearer to the chessboard.
Su XingHe already know by coronary heart all of the numerous modifications and permutation to this chess formation, he instantly responded with a black chess-piece. Duan YanQing thought for some time and made one other transfer. Su XingHe stated: “Sir, your extraordinarily sensible, allow us to see if you happen to can overcome this drawback and discover a means out.” He made a transfer with the black piece, it sealed off his path. Duan YanQing made one other transfer.
Shaolin monk Xu Zhu instantly stated: “I’m afraid this transfer will not work!” beforehand he noticed Murong Fu make the very same transfer, afterwards he continued enjoying and finally draw his sword and commit suicide. He feared Duan YanQing would comply with the identical path to his spoil, he can’t bear it and spoke out to advise him.
Crocodile Deity of Southern Sea was livid, he shouted: “Hey you little monk, you aren’t match to touch upon my boss chess transfer!” he gripped Xu Zhu’s again and drag him over. Duan Yu stated: “Good disciple, do not hurt this little grasp!” When Crocodile Deity of Southern Sea arrived, he already noticed Duan Yu, he felt actually awkward and embarrass, its finest if Duan Yu retains his mouth shut however finally he nonetheless blurted it out, he stated angrily: “So be it, i will not hurt him, why so anxious!” he dropped Xu Zhu on the ground.
Everybody noticed how this barbaric and ruthless Crocodile Deity of Southern Sea truly take orders from Duan Yu, he did not even refute when being handle as ‘good disciple’, everybody felt actually unusual. Solely Zhu DanChen and the remainder knew the underlying cause, they chortle inwardly.
Xu Zhu sat down on the ground, his having second ideas: “My grasp usually inform me, the cultivation technique cross down by our founder is self-discipline, calmness and knowledge. The < Shurangama Sutra> says: ‘Assimilate self-discipline in your coronary heart, self-discipline results in calmness, calmness results in knowledge.’ We’re blunt individuals, its troublesome for us to assimilate self-discipline in our coronary heart, thus founder Damo cross down a neater technique, he allow us to be taught martial arts to self-discipline out coronary heart, however you may as well use chess to self-discipline your coronary heart. Martial arts pay specific consideration to victory and defeat, chess additionally focuses on victory and defeat, however each of them are opposite to teachings on Buddhism, thus whether or not you follow martial arts or play chess you have to be sure that you don’t give attention to victory and defeat. Reciting scripture, consuming, travelling, its simple to overlook about victory and defeat, however competing martial arts and enjoying chess its extraordinarily troublesome to overlook about victory and defeat. In case you overlook about victory and defeat whereas competing martial arts or enjoying chess, then the match is already over. The < Dharmapada Sutra> says: ‘The winner feels hatred, the loser feels ashamed. You’ll be agitated whereas pursuing victory, you’ll be calm if you happen to do not not compete.’ My martial artwork is poor, my chess talent awful, when i compete martial arts with my martial brothers or play chess, i’ll endure extra defeat than victory, however my grasp reward me as i used to be not indignant and i didn’t complain, i do not actually care about victory or defeat. However how come when i noticed this Benefactor Duan make a unsuitable chess transfer, i fear that he’ll endure a defeat, i even spoke out and provides recommendation? Furthermore with my degree of chess talent, how am i able to even advise him? Though his chess strikes could also be much like gentleman Murong now, however afterwards it might be totally different, i do not perceive all these, as an alternative i simply blurted out and demand it will not work, aren’t i overestimating myself?”
Duan YanQing made one other transfer, he thought for some time, he made strikes after strikes, his taking a very long time to assume, he made a complete of 20 strikes and the solar is inclining to the west, instantly XuanNan stated: “Benefactor Duan, your first 10 strikes are right and orthodox, however on the eleventh transfer you begin to deviate from the proper path, you stray out of your unique path from that time onwards and now its troublesome to save lots of.” The muscular tissues on Duan YanQing’s face is stiff and inflexible, his expression wood and clean, a voice resonated from his throat: “Your Shaolin is a well-known orthodox college, base in your orthodox technique, how will you break this formation?” XuanNan sigh and stated: “This chess formation appears to be orthodox but unorthodox, it appears to be demonic but not demonic, you can’t break it utilizing pure orthodox technique, however if you happen to use pure unorthodox technique it nonetheless will not work!”
Duan YanQing’s left crutch hovered in mid-air, he trembled barely, he dare not put down the chess piece, after a very long time he stated: “There isn’t a path ahead, the troopers are pursuing on the rear, orthodox technique will not work, unorthodox technique will not work, that is actually troublesome!” the martial arts cross down by his household is the orthodox talent of Dali’s Duan household, however he finally deviated and have become evil and unorthodox, the phrases by XuanNan fire up his feelings and thoughts, unexpectedly he grew to become like Murong Fu, progressively he begin to hallucinate.
This ‘Zhen Lengthy’ has many modifications and fluctuates irregularly, its impact relies on the particular person, a grasping particular person will worry dropping his stuff, an indignant particular person will worry his anger interfering together with his work. Duan Yu was defeated as a result of he had an excessive amount of compassion, he refuse to desert his troops, Murong Fu was defeated as a result of he stubbornly held onto energy and affect, his capable of abandon his troops however he merely refuses to surrender energy and affect. The best remorse and hate in Duan YanQing’s life is his deformity, his compelled to surrender his orthodox martial arts, he needed to change and follow unorthodox and demonic expertise, he concentrated his consideration fully and this made it simple for exterior demons to invade, thus his thoughts entered demonic path and he can’t management himself anymore.
Ding ChunQiu smiled and stated: “Sure! Its simple for an individual to enter demonic path, however its extraordinarily troublesome to show over a brand new leaf, you whole life is doom to failure, failure, failure! Alas, what a pity, one unsuitable step trigger a thousand hatred, if you wish to flip again, i’m afraid you’ll be able to’t do it anymore!” his speech is full of pity and tenderness. XuanNan and the opposite specialists knew Ding ChunQiu harboured malicious intentions, his making an attempt to make Duan YanQing fire-deviate in order that he can get rid of a strong opponent.
Certain sufficient, Duan YanQing was expressionless and immobile, he stated in a distressed voice: “I’m the crown worth of Dali Kingdom, however as we speak i wander round and degenerated into such a state, i’m actually ashamed and can’t face my ancestors.”
Ding ChunQiu stated: “Even within the underworld, you continue to do not have the face to see your Duan household’s ancestors, since you’re ashamed why do not you commit suicide, its the correct conduct of hero, alas, alas! It might be higher to commit suicide, it might be higher to commit suicide!” his voice is light and nice, these with low inside power already grew to become drowsy and dazed once they hear his voice.
Duan YanQing mumbled to himself: “Alas, it might be higher to commit suicide!” he raised his metal crutch and slowly drive it in the direction of his chest. However he has extraordinarily deep cultivations, he faintly felt one thing was amiss, there appears to be an interior voice inside him that stated: “Flawed, unsuitable, you’ll be in serious trouble if you happen to proceed to drive downwards!” nonetheless the metal crutch nonetheless slowly transfer inch by inch in the direction of his chest. When he was exiled from Dali Kingdom and suffered severe accidents, he considered committing suicide, however he met a peculiar occasion and handle to tug himself collectively, however now his self-control faltered and his buried need to commit suicide floor once more.
There are numerous martial artwork specialists round, XuanNan is merciful, he wished to talk out and advise him, however to shock Duan YanQing out of his trance would require inside power equal to his, to be efficient the voice should be so loud that even the deaf can hear it, else not solely would it not be not helpful he might find yourself harming Duan YanQing, XuanNan was secretly anxious, his palms are tied and he can’t do something to assist. Su XingHe is sure by the principles set by his Grasp, he can’t help him. Murong Fu knew Duan YanQing is an evil particular person, its an excellent factor for him to fire-deviate and die and he would get rid of an incredible evil from the world. Jiumozhi rejoice in different individuals’s misfortune, he smile and look on with out lifting a finger. Duan Yu and You TanZhi each have deep and profound inside power, however they do not know what Duan YanQing is making an attempt to do when he lifted his crutch. As for Wang YuYan, though she is educated about martial arts of varied sects and faculties, however the evil approach employed by Ding ChunQiu to place Duan YanQing in a trance isn’t martial artwork, thus she would not perceive it in any respect. Ye ErNiang is incessantly oppressed by Duan YanQing, his extraordinarily impolite and bossy, she amassed the hatred for a very long time and now she didn’t hassle to save lots of him. As for Deng BaiChuan, Kang GuangLing and the remainder, they misplaced all their inside power, moreover they don’t need to intervene within the tussle between Outdated Freak of XingXiu and the ‘Quantity One Evil’.
Thus, solely the Crocodile Deity of Southern Sea is anxious, he noticed the crutch is only some inch away from his chest, in a couple of moments he would seal off his personal loss of life acupoint, instantly he grabbed and lifted Xu Zhu and shouted: “Boss, catch this monk!” as he end he threw Xu Zhu at Duan YanQing.
Ding ChunQiu push out together with his palm and stated: “Go away! Do not disturb this chess match!” the throwing drive by Crocodile Deity of Southern Sea is extraordinarily vigorous, Xu Zhu is shrouded by sturdy wind and he fly ahead swiftly, however the palm by Ding ChunQiu is gentle and versatile, Xu Zhu obtained redirected again and he bump straight on the Crocodile Deity of Southern Sea.
Crocodile Deity of Southern Sea caught Xu Zhu with each palms, he considered throwing Xu Zhu at Duan YanQing once more, unexpectedly Ding ChunQiu’s palm accommodates 3 wave of hidden drive, Crocodile Deity of Southern Sea instantly open his eyes absolutely, his compelled to retreat 3 steps, as he stabilizes himself the 2nd wave of drive arrive. Each his knees soften and he sat down on the ground, he thought it was over, who would have think about the third wave of drive crashing in. He can’t assist however somersaulted, however each his palms nonetheless held onto Xu Zhu, he press down on Xu Zhu and roll over. He thought the palm by Outdated Freak Ding accommodates one other 4th wave of drive, thus he shortly push Xu Zhu ahead to dam the drive.
However there isn’t any 4th wave of drive, Crocodile Deity of Southern Sea open his eyes and cursed: “Rattling your grandmother is highly effective!” he put Xu Zhu on the ground.
When Ding ChunQiu push out together with his palm, he obtained distracted and he consideration slacken a little bit, Duan YanQing’s metal crutch cease in mid-air and didn’t transfer anymore. Ding ChunQiu stated: “Its too late, its too late, Duan YanQing, i allow you to to commit suicide, simply commit sucide!” Duan YanQing sigh and stated: “Sure, what is the level in dwelling? Its higher to only commit suicide!” as he end talking his crutch transfer nearer by one other 2 inch.
Xu Zhu’s compassion flare up, in an effort to free Duan YanQing from Mara (demon of temptation in Buddhism), he knew he should disrupt the chess formation, however his chess talent is absolutely low, its unimaginable for him to interrupt this advanced and complex chess formation, he noticed Duan YanQing stare stupidly on the chessboard, his actually in a disaster, instantly he had a brilliant concept: “I am unable to break this chess formation, but it surely simple for me to deliberately mess it up, so long as his focus will get diverted he may be saved. If there isn’t any chess formation, the place is the necessity for victory and defeat?” he shortly stated: “I’ll break this chess formation.” He shortly transfer ahead and took a white chess-piece from the small wood field, he shut his eyes and randomly put the chess-piece on the board.
His eyes have but to open however he heard Su XingHe reprimand furiously: “Garbage, garbage, in your match of anger you killed a whole group of white chess-piece, who performs chess like this?” Xu Zhu open his eyes, he have a look at the chessboard and blush.
It appears when he closed his eyes and made a random transfer, he put the chess-piece beside one other white chess-piece which is already encircled by black chess-piece, there isn’t any room in any respect for escape. Initially the white facet and black facet are mutually surrounding one another, each side in a stalemate, if the black chess-piece transfer ahead the white facet can kill off all of the black chess-piece with a single transfer, if the white chess-piece transfer ahead the black facet can kill off all of the white chess-piece with a single transfer. That is scenario known as ‘dwell collectively’ or ‘two lives’, ‘i dare not transfer, my opponent dare not transfer’, each facet can’t transfer in any respect. Xu Zhu put his chess-piece inside this huge stalemate, he made the primary transfer and provided an enormous group of white-chess piece to his opponent, if his opponent do not take it, he’ll lose his black-chess piece, thus the black facet positively should take it. Within the artwork of enjoying chess, nobody ever accomplished this act of committing suicide. Now that the white chess-piece is lifeless, the white facet is about to endure full defeat and be fully worn out.
Juimozhi, Murong Fu, Duan Yu and the remainder, once they noticed this they can’t assist however burst out into loud laughter. XuanNan shakes his head and smiled. Though Fan BaiLing is feeble and weary from the blood loss, he can’t assist however stated: “Are you joking?”
Su XingHe stated: “My Grasp’s order, anybody can enter and play this chess. Though this chess transfer by little grasp is wild fantasy, its nonetheless a legit transfer.” He take away the white chess-piece which Xu Zhu sacrificed, then he made a transfer with the black chess-piece.
Duan YanQing gave a loud cry and snap out of his trance, he stare at Ding ChunQiu and thought: “Outdated Freak of XingXiu, you benefit from my precarious place and employed your evil scheme, i will not take issues mendacity down.”
Ding ChunQiu glared at Xu Zhu, his eyes full of venomous rage, he cursed: “Little bald thief!”
Duan YanQing have a look at the modifications within the chess formation, he knew he escaped mortal hazard all because of Xu Zhu help, he felt actually grateful, he knew Ding ChunQiu resented Xu Zhu and is about to assault him, he contemplated: “Shaolin senior monk XuanNan is right here, i do not assume the Outdated Freak of XingXiu has the center to hassle his disciple, but when this outdated rotten XuanNan is muddle-headed and fail to guard him correctly i can’t merely let this little monk die due to me.”
Su XingHe stated to Xu Zhu: “Little grasp, you killed your individual chess piece, how will you reply if the black chess-piece transfer in 1 extra step?”
Xu Zhu chortle and stated: “Junior monk’s chess talent is lowly, i randomly made a transfer simply to save lots of somebody. I actually can’t play this chess match, i hope senior will excuse me.”
Su XingHe expression turns grave, he stated solemnly: “My Grasp created this chess formation and respectful invited all of the specialists below the heaven to attempt to break it. It would not matter if it will probably’t be damaged, even if you happen to endure calamity its additionally your individual doings. But when somebody comes and deliberately mess up this chess match and taint the lifetime effort of my Grasp, though there are lots of individuals right here, hei hei, though outdated man is deaf and mute i’ll pledge my life and struggle until loss of life.” His know as ‘Deaf Mute Outdated Man’ however he’s neither deaf nor mute, presently his capable of hear and even communicate, however unexpectedly he nonetheless name himself deaf and mute, however when his talking his beard flare up, his expression fierce and ferocious, no one dare to make enjoyable of him.
Xu Zhu press his palms collectively and made a deep bow, he stated: “Outdated senior…..”
Su XingHe shouted loudly: “Simply play chess, why speak a lot? My Grasp’s chess formation is on your random amusement?” as he end talking he wave his proper hand and ship out a palm, there is a loud crashing sound, mud flew all over the place, a big crater appeared in entrance of Xu Zhu. The facility on this palm is incomparably violent and fierce, if the palm landed a couple of chi nearer, the tendons and bones in Xu Zhu would shatter and break, he would die a violent loss of life.
Xu Zhu was so frighten that he coronary heart thumped randomly, he shifted his eyes in the direction of XuanNan, he hope his martial grandfather will take the initiative and save him from this predicament.
XuanNan’s chess talent isn’t good, his inside power all gone, what concept can he give you? XuanNan stiffen his resolve and was about ask for leniency from Su XingHe, instantly Xu Zhu took out a white chess-piece from the wood field and place it on the chessboard. The tile he place it on is a brand new empty spot which appeared when the group of white chess-piece was sacrificed.
Unexpectedly, this transfer is logical and smart. For the previous 30 years, Su XingHe has seen the thousand variation and modifications within the chess formation, he memorize all of the counter-moves completely, it doesn’t matter what sort of strikes his opponent make, they can’t escape his foolproof counter. However Xu Zhu began the match by making a random transfer and killed a giant group of white chess-piece, it tremendously violates the fundamental basic of chess, anybody who has the slightest bit of data about chess would by no means make this transfer. The transfer is similar a drawing your individual sword and committing suicide. However unexpectedly, when Xu Zhu killed a giant group of white chess-piece the scenario truly grew to become optimistic, though the black chess-piece occupied a dominant place however the white chess-piece now have some leeway to manoeuvre, not like beforehand the place the chess items tangled with one another and have to protect in opposition to losses. Su XingHe by no means anticipate such a brand new scenario within the chess formation, he was startled and contemplated deeply for a very long time, he lastly responded with a transfer.
Beforehand, Xu Zhu was scared stiff by Su XingHe’s palm, his martial grandfather didn’t communicate out to assist him and he was at a loss, instantly a skinny and gentle voice entered his ear: “Put the chess piece on the third row ninth column!” Xu Zhu didn’t hassle to seek for the one that gave this recommendation, he did not care if the recommendation was right or unsuitable, he merely took a white chess-piece, adopted the instructions given and positioned it on the third row ninth column. When Su XingHe responded with a transfer, the identical voice entered Xu Zhu’s ear once more: “2nd row eighth column.” Xu Zhu place a white chess-piece on the 2nd row eighth column.
When he made this transfer, he heard Jumozhi, Murong Fu, Duan Yu, all of them cry out in shock. Xu Zhu increase his head, he noticed seems to be of admiration and shock on the faces of the group, it appears this transfer is absolutely beautiful, as for Su XingHe his expression was joyous and filled with admiration but his additionally fretful and anxious, his lengthy eyebrow saved shifting up and down.
Xu Zhu felt suspicious: “Why is he instantly so glad? Do not inform me i make a unsuitable transfer?” however he instantly had second ideas: “Who cares whether or not its proper or unsuitable, so long as i can reply with 10 strikes and above it reveals that i performed the chess match correctly and didn’t recklessly mess up the chess formation and dishonour his Grasp, after that he will not take offense anymore.” After Su XingHe responded with one other transfer, he adopted the instruction of the one that is secretly serving to him and made one other transfer. As he play chess, he saved a cautious look out to see if his martial grandfather is secretly instructing him, however XuanNan expression was anxious, it actually would not appear to be him, furthermore XuanNan by no means open his mouth to talk.
The voice in his ear is clearly base on [Transmitting Voice in Secret] approach which requires excessive degree of inside power, the speaker will use his inside power to ship his speech into the ears of one other particular person, even when there are bystanders close by they can’t hear the speech in any respect, however regardless of how gentle the voice is the speaker nonetheless should open his mouth. Xu Zhu furtively have a look at the lips of everybody, unexpectedly none of them are shifting however he nonetheless heard the voice transmit clearly: “fifth row sixth column and take the three black chess-piece!”. Xu Zhu adopted the directions, he contemplated: “This particular person can solely be my martial grandfather, nobody else. The remainder of the group isn’t associated to me, why would they assist me? From among the many specialists, solely martial grandfather didn’t participate, the remainder of them took half and obtained defeated. Martial grandfather has divine talent, he didn’t transfer his lips and but transmit his voice, i’m wondering when i can attain his degree.”
Who would have imagined that the particular person guiding him is the primary evil below the heaven ‘Overflowing with Evil’ Duan YanQing. Beforehand, Duan YanQing was too engrossed in enjoying chess and Ding ChunQiu took benefit of him, he fire-deviated and commit suicide, fortunately Xu Zhu disrupted the chess match and save his life. He noticed Su XingHe was very stern when reprimanding Xu Zhu, its very probably he has murderous intentions, thus he instantly transmit his voice and information Xu Zhu to assist him get out of hassle. Duan YanQing is expert in ventriloquism, he need not transfer his lips when talking, he use his inside power to transmit his voice to Xu Zhu’s ear, though there are lots of specialists round they didn’t suspect this underlying trick.
Nonetheless, after quite a few strikes, the scenario modified tremendously, Duan YanQing lastly grew to become conscious that the key to this ‘Zhen Lengthy’ is to make use of your individual white-piece to kill off a big group of white-piece, afterwards this can give rise to energy. The chess formation included the ideas of ‘Counter-attack and escape’, it’s important to intentionally sacrifice your individual chess piece and let your opponent take them, afterwards you’ll be able to obtain success, nonetheless individuals will sacrifice at most 8-9 chess piece in a match, nobody will sacrifice greater than 10 chess piece in a single transfer, this transfer ‘Squeeze your self to loss of life’ is absolutely bizarre and by no means seen earlier than all through all ages, even essentially the most sensible chess professional won’t ever dare consider utilizing such a transfer. For human, they at all times take into consideration easy methods to survive and dwell, no one will intentionally consider easy methods to die. If Xu Zhu didn’t shut his eyes and make this random transfer, even after a thousand years, this ‘Zhen Lengthy’ will nonetheless stay unbroken.
Duan YanQing has extraordinarily excessive chess talent, beforehand he performed chess with the Yellow-Forehead Monk at Dali, he dominated the match and the Yellow-Forehead Monk was unable to ward him off, presently, after eradicating a big group of white chess-piece the scenario reversed, he not wants to fret in regards to the life and loss of life of that enormous group of white chess-piece, his no lengthy blocked by his personal troops, as an alternative he can transfer round freely which is vastly totally different from earlier scenario the place he obtained trapped in.
Jiumozhi, Murong Fu and the remainder are unaware that Duan YanQing is secretly guiding, Xu Zhu chess strikes are fantastic and sensible, he captured two small group of black chess-piece in succession, everybody can’t assist however cheer.
XuanNan muttered to himself: “Initially, this chess match is tangled in good points and losses, victory and defeat, thus nobody can break it, when Xu Zhu made his transfer he did not care about life or loss of life, he did not care about victory or defeat, unexpectedly he handle to interrupt by this life and loss of life scenario and eventually free himself……” XuanNan comprehended the ideas faintly, nonetheless his nonetheless hesitant and not sure, he spent his whole life learning martial arts, nonetheless its totally different from the martial arts prescribed by Buddhism, instantly he contemplated: “Deaf Mute Outdated Man and the Eight Mates of HanGu indulged in miscellaneous expertise, ultimately their martial arts fell brief in opposition to Ding ChunQiu, beforehand i make enjoyable of them and say they deviate from their unique path. However i spent my whole life practising martial arts, i used to be not diligent in practising Buddhist meditation, i’m anxious about life and loss of life, i’m even worse and in addition deviate from my unique path.” As he considered this, his whole physique escape in chilly sweat.
Initially, Duan Yu paid shut consideration to the chess match, however afterwards he simply stare at Wang YuYan, he grew to become much more dejected as he have a look at her, Wang YuYan’s gaze by no means left Murong Fu. Duan Yu contemplated: “Its higher for me to easily depart, its higher for me to easily depart! I’ll solely endure extra distress if i keep right here, possibly i’ll even vomit blood.” However how can he willingly take his gaze off Wang YuYan? His in deep ideas: “I’ll watch for Miss Wang to show her head over to me, then i’ll inform her: ‘Miss Wang, congratulations in assembly your cousin, as we speak destiny introduced us collectively and we see one another once more. I might be leaving now!’ if she reply: ‘Okay, please depart!’ then i’ll merely depart. But when she reply: ‘There isn’t a hurry, i nonetheless have one thing to say to you’ then i’ll keep and watch for her instruction.”
Nonetheless in actuality, Duan Yu is absolutely conscious that Wang YuYan won’t ever flip round and have a look at him, she is going to by no means say: ‘There isn’t a hurry, i nonetheless have one thing to say to you’. All of a sudden, Wang YuYan’s head began shifting barely. Duan Yu coronary heart begin thumping madly: “She is popping her head over!” however she solely gave a gentle sigh and name out softly: “Cousin!”
Murong Fu’s consideration is concentrated on the chess match, he noticed the white chess-piece had gained the higher hand, its presently advancing ahead and urgent, he thought: “I can give you these few strikes simply. However the first transfer is at all times troublesome, the primary transfer is just too bizarre, i’ll by no means have the ability to consider it.” Unexpectedly he didn’t hear Wang YuYan calling him.
Wang YuYan gave one other gentle sigh and she or he slowly turns her head.
DuanYu’s coronary heart begin leaping madly: “She is popping her head over! She is popping her head over!”
Certain sufficient, the beautiful face of Wang YuYan flip and face him. Du Yan noticed she is barely depress, there may be hidden bitterness in her eyes, he contemplated: “After arriving with Murong Fu, her expression was at all times glad and joyous, how come she isn’t glad now? Do not inform me…..do not inform me she fear about me a little bit?” her gaze transfer to the proper and interlocked together with his, Duan Yu took a step ahead, his about to say: “Miss Wang, you will have one thing to say?” however Wang YuYan’s gaze slowly transfer away and have a look at a distant place, as soon as once more her gaze return again to Murong Fu.
Duan Yu’s coronary heart plunged, he felt endlessly agony: “She did have a look at me, however it’s 10 occasions worse than if she did not have a look at me in any respect. She have a look at me however she nonetheless ignore me. She have a look at me however i by no means registered in her coronary heart. She is barely eager about the affairs of her cousin, why would she even care about Duan Yu. Sigh, its higher to easily depart, its higher to easily depart!”
As for Xu Zhu, he adopted the directions of Duan YanQing and made one other transfer, trying on the present scenario, regardless of how the black chess-piece responds it can positively be taken by the white chess-piece, but when the black chess-piece takes a step again then the white chess-piece can rush out of this encirclement, at the moment the white chess-piece could have the whole discipline and the black chess-piece won’t be able to maintain up anymore.
Su XingHe contemplated for a very long time, he smiled and made a transfer. Duan YanQing transmitted his voice: “seventh row eighth column!” Xu Zhu adopted his instruction, though Xu Zhu chess talent is poor however he nonetheless is aware of sufficient and his conscious that the ‘Zhen Lengthy’ is already damaged, he clap his palms and smiled: “It appears its over?”
Su XingHe is smiling, he cupped his palms and stated: “Little divine monk is proficient and courageous, congratulations.”
Xu Zhu shortly returns the courtesy and stated: “I do not dare, i did not make this……” his about to say that he receives steerage from his martial grandfather, the voice transmitted into his ear once more: “You can’t reveal this secret between us. You might be nonetheless at risk, it’s important to be further cautious.” Xu Zhu thought it was one other instruction from XuanNan, he instantly stated: “Sure, sure!”
Su XingHe stood up and stated: “My Grasp prepare this chess formation, for over 10 years nobody is ready to break it, little divine monk lastly broke this ‘Zhen Lengthy’, i actually cannot thanks sufficient.” Xu Zhu do not perceive the underlying cause, he stated modestly: “Its simply an accident, its all due to the elders right here, outdated senior you actually flatter me, i do not deserve your reward.”
Su XingHe stroll to the entrance of the three wood home, he held out his hand to respectfully welcome the visitor and stated: “Little divine monk, please enter!”
Xu Zhu noticed these three homes are actually odd, there are not any doorways, he do not know easy methods to enter or what his suppose to do when he enters, he stood at his location and is undecided. All of a sudden the voice transmit into his ear once more: “You lastly open up a path on the chess match, its all because of a tough and painful battle. There isn’t a door on the wood home, simply use your Shaolin martial arts to forcibly create a path.” Xu Zhu stated: “Please pardon my offense!” he entered into horse stance, he increase his proper hand and strike his palm on the wood board.
His martial artwork is proscribed, beforehand Ding ChunQiu wave his sleeve and he instantly collapsed, the XingXiu disciples captured him simply, his scenario was actually fortunate and he handle to protect his inside power. However in entrance of so many martial artwork specialists, his palm power is absolutely insignificant and never price mentioning, fortunately the wood board isn’t sturdy, there’s a ‘KaLa’ sound and the wood board cut up open to disclose a small crack. Xu Zhu strike his palm 2 extra occasions and eventually handle to cleave open the wood board, however his palm already felt painful.
Crocodile Deity of Southern Sea burst into loud laughter and stated: “The laborious and robust talent of Shaolin is absolutely sloppy and peculiar.” Xu Zhu flip his head and stated: “Junior monk is essentially the most ineffective disciple from Shaolin, my martial artwork is superficial, but it surely does not imply the martial arts of Shaolin is awful.” All of a sudden the voice transmit into his ear: “Rapidly enter, do not flip your head again, ignore the bystanders!” Xu Zhu stated: “Sure!” he transfer ahead and shortly entered the home.
He heard Ding ChunQiu shout: “That is the home of my sect, little monk how will you enter with out permission?” instantly there may be two loud slamming sound, Xu Zhu felt a burst of sturdy wind coming at him, its making an attempt to pull him again out, however instantly after he felt two violent drive bumping his again and buttocks, he can’t assist however somersault straight into the home.
