"Oh?"
Seeing Mo Xia's piece landed in the middle of the chessboard, Jiang Beiran put the white piece he had just taken out back into the chessboard, and began to think seriously.
'Hoo... hoo...'
Seeing how his senior brother was thinking seriously, Mo Xia could clearly feel that his breathing had become more rapid, and his fists had already been clenched.
"Mo Xia."
"Yes!" Hearing his senior brother calling him, Mo Xia immediately sat up straight and replied.
"Your hand is becoming more and more superb, not bad."
The so-called inlaying the hand is a deliberate move in the stage of setting, which looks clumsy, but actually contains tricks, laying traps, and tempting to be taken.
Jiang Beiran knew that Mo Xia used to use his underestimation of the enemy to set up traps, but he told him once.
I thought he would give up this method, but I didn't expect him to use it better.
Hearing this compliment, Mo Xia didn't know whether to be happy or sad for a while.
The happy one is naturally praised by the senior brother, but the sad one is that since the senior brother praised his inlay hand, it means that he has seen through the game he set up.
"..."
'As expected of senior brother... I really don't know how far he can see. '
"Seventeen out of thirteen, flails."
With a "snap", Jiang Beiran dropped the white piece in his hand, covering Mo Xia's zixu within his sphere of influence, preventing him from breathing or escaping.
"Amazing!"
Seeing the senior brother take this step, Mo Xia couldn't help shouting.
"It's your turn." Jiang Beiran raised his head and said.
"Yes!" Mo Xia hurriedly looked down at the chessboard.
'Although the shackle of senior brother is indeed exquisite, there is still a glimmer of life for me. While thinking, Mo Xia took out a sunspot and dropped it.
"Snapped!"
After more than 20 rounds of offense and defense, Mo Xia, who was pressed by his senior brother every step of the way, was almost out of breath, but he was sure that his formation was not messed up, as long as he resisted this round of offensive, his chance would appear !
After struggling for another five rounds, the opportunity Mo Xia was waiting for finally arrived!
'That's it! '
Looking at the shining [Emergency] on the chessboard, Mo Xia instinctively dropped the chess piece on it like a drowning person grabbing driftwood.
But just when Mo Xia was about to withdraw his hand, he found that the corner of his brother's mouth was slowly raised.
'Oops! '
Mo Xia, who was directly shocked and broke out in a cold sweat, immediately understood why the senior brother laughed.
Because that step just now was precisely the hand of the senior brother.
"I... I admit defeat."
Mo Xia clenched her fists and lowered her head, trying her best not to shed the tears in her eyes.
After more than a year, the senior brother is still so strong and invulnerable. I have to use all my strength to complete the first move, but it is like a child playing in front of the senior brother. The backhand educates myself in a more clever way.
'It's too strong... why is senior brother so strong. '"
"You played very well. You really did not live up to my expectations." Looking at Mo Xia who was trembling slightly, Jiang Beiran poured a cup of tea and handed it to him.
Feeling the fragrance of tea blowing towards his face, Mo Xia raised his hand to catch the teacup, and replied with a vibrato: "Many... Thank you, brother!"
"More of this kind of unwillingness will make you improve faster, how about it, do you want to have another game?"
"Yes!" Mo Xia replied firmly and forcefully, while quickly picking up the chessboard with both hands.
'If this xinxing is used in cultivation, the future of this child is probably limitless. '
It wasn't until the morning that Mo Xia left the senior brother's hut with so much reluctance. He walked one step at a time and turned his head three times. When he found that the senior brother really didn't intend to accompany him to the next game, he had to open the door and leave.
Seeing the door being closed by Mo Xia, Jiang Beiran couldn't help stretching and yawning.
'It's really a dreadful young man'
Mo Xia's chess skills are indeed improving very fast. Even without a teacher or an opponent, his strength is still growing at an astonishing speed, so fast that even Jiang Beiran feels that he will soon be unable to hold him down.
Yawning again, Jiang Beiran found that this night was really exhausting. After all, mental competition is often more tiring than physical competition.
After swallowing a chewing gum pill, Jiang Beiran lay down on the couch and fell asleep.
"Little girl, are you really not afraid of me!?"
"We are all ghosts, why should I be afraid of you?"
"Okay, I'll give you one last chance, let me eat you or not!"
"Anyway, I'm already dead, you can't let me die again, don't let me! Just don't let me die!"
"Hahaha, little girl, I think you haven't been dead for long, whoever told you that you can't die again after death, if I eat you here, you will never have the chance to be reincarnated, I know you are afraid If so, get out of my way!"
"No, I won't let you, I won't let you hurt my good uncle!"
"you!"
…
Hearing the sound of quarreling, the sleeping Jiang Beiran slowly opened his eyes, only to see two ghosts, one big and one small, floating in the air.
The large female ghost is a very classic female ghost image, with fluttering white clothes, disheveled hair, a pair of bloodshot eyes and a mouth with two corners torn all the way to the ears.
The female ghost in the trumpet turned her back to Jiang Beiran, unable to see what she looked like.
At this time, the female ghost realized that Jiang Beiran had woken up, and no longer cared about the small female ghost's obstruction, she came to Jiang Beiran in an instant, stared at Jiang Beiran with scarlet eyes, and said in a voice that seemed to come from Jiuyou.
"I hate it so much!"
"What do you hate?" Jiang Beiran scratched his sleepy hair and asked.
"I… "
The female ghost was stunned. She has scared countless people in her life. She has frightened people to the point of fainting, and she has also frightened people to the point of feces and urine. Among them, the most satisfying time was that the person did not escape or pass out after being frightened. It was kowtowing again and again, begging for mercy.
This is her favorite to watch.
And it was the first time she saw someone like Jiang Beiran asking her back.
'Could it be that you haven't woken up yet? '
The female ghost who made a guess controlled her eyes to leave a line of blood and tears, and at the same time twisted her limbs strangely, staring at Jiang Beiran in a terrifying posture with her body facing up and her limbs on the ground, and shouted again: "I want to curse you!"
Jiang Beiran's drowsiness disappeared immediately after hearing this, and he sat up and said, "Oh? You can still curse, yes, you have some skills, come on, come on, even though I've been cursed by a ghost, I haven't been cursed by a ghost yet."
"you… "
The female ghost is dumbfounded. She has been in the ghost world for decades, and she has never seen such a person who does not follow the routine. In normal times, even those cultivators would be scared out of their hands by her. This one is so calm.
"Curse it?"
When the female ghost was in a daze, Jiang Beiran asked.
Finding that the other party didn't seem to be a normal person, the female ghost stopped scaring him and rushed towards Jiang Beiran after making a piercing cry.
"return to."
Just when the female ghost was about to get into Jiang Beiran's body, she suddenly felt a powerful spiritual force attacking her phantom-like body and writhing wildly, as if she was about to disappear.
"My lord, spare me, my lord, spare my life!"
The female ghost begged for mercy again and again, feeling that she was going out of her wits.
At this moment, another little female ghost flew to Jiang Beiran and asked, "Good uncle, are you not afraid of ghosts?"
'Um? Why is this kid so handsome? '
Looking at the little girl's delicate face, Jiang Beiran asked, "Why is uncle afraid of ghosts?"
"Everyone is afraid, there is no one in this world who is not afraid of ghosts."
"That's good luck for you, you met one today."
When one person and one ghost were talking, the female ghost was crawling out quietly, and the man in front of him was not only intimidating, but also had such a strong spirit that he was hardly human.
"Let you go?"
As soon as Jiang Beiran opened her mouth, the female ghost felt the world spinning again, as if someone had rang a clock in her mind, causing her brain to tremble.
Knowing that she couldn't leave, the female ghost quickly turned around and kowtowed repeatedly: "The little ones don't dare, the little ones don't dare, your lord has a lot, so please spare the little ghost, I promise I won't come to harass you again .”
Ignoring the female ghost's begging for mercy, Jiang Beiran looked at the other small female ghost and said, "Come on, tell uncle who you are and why you are here?"
"My name is Qingqing! I am seven years old this year! I followed all the way here because I wanted to protect my uncle."
"Then why do you want to protect Uncle?"
"Uncle, I saw what you did at Lanruo Temple yesterday! My younger brother and I were killed by those big liars, so I'm very happy to see my good uncle speak out for us, oh yes, I should thank uncle first."
After Qingqing finished speaking, she bowed and saluted, "Thank you, uncle."
Nodding his head, Jiang Bei, who understood where the little ghost came from, looked at the big ghost again.
"And you. What do you want me for?"
"I... I was just passing by, and suddenly wanted to scare someone to have a good time, so I ran into you, please don't remember the villain's mistakes, please let me go... ah!!!!"
As soon as the female ghost was halfway through her words, she felt a sword piercing her brain, and it was still stirring inside.
Withdrawing his mental strength, Jiang Beiran looked at the female ghost whose color had faded a little and asked, "I'll give you another chance. If you don't tell the truth, it's not just pain."
The female ghost now fully understands that she has met the Great Immortal, and if she does not want to continue to be tortured, fully cooperating is the only thing she can do.
"Climbing up from the ground with difficulty, the female ghost replied: "My master sent me here, saying that I want to scare you and don't let you meddle in your own business. "
"What's the matter?"
"It's... the matter of Lanruo Temple."
"Oh~" Jiang Beiran instantly understood that the group of monks in Lanruo Temple really had a backer, and they came here so quickly.
After looking at the female ghost interestingly, Jiang Beiran suddenly showed curiosity.
This look made the female ghost tremble for a while, and she couldn't help protecting her body and took a few steps back.
"Your master can control you?" Jiang Beiran asked.
"Yes, yes, yes." The female ghost nodded vigorously, "He ordered me to scare you, and I can only do so."
It was the first time Jiang Beiran heard that someone could control ghosts, so he became more and more curious: "How did he control you?"
The female ghost sighed, "The master can raise ghosts, and all the ghosts he has raised must obey him."
"Raising ghosts?"
After hearing the new vocabulary, Jiang Beiran found things interesting. It was the first time he heard that there were ghost raisers in Xuanlong Continent, which sounded more evil than Gu raisers.
Seeing Jiang Beiran's surprised look, the female ghost asked strangely: "Could it be that the king can't raise ghosts? Then why is there such a powerful soul power?"
Hearing the soul power in the female ghost's mouth, Jiang Beiran guessed that it should be spiritual power, which means that raising ghosts is most likely related to spiritual power.
After learning this important information, Jiang Beiran stepped forward and said, "Take me to your master."
"No, no, no." The female ghost kept shaking her head, "If I take you to find the master, the master will kill me."
"If you don't take me, I'll kill you right now."
"..."
Looking at the silent female ghost, Jiang Beiran said again: "Don't worry, I guarantee that your master will not kill you, or if you are really worried, I will kill him first before leaving and give you back your freedom."
Listening to Jiang Beiran's tone as if killing a chicken, the female ghost thought that she would be dead anyway, so it's better to fight!
"Then you are my new master! See master." The female ghost crawled up to Jiang Beiran and kowtowed.
"I don't have such an ugly servant as you, get up and take me to your master first."
Seeing that she failed to seek refuge, the female ghost sighed, floated to the door and made a gesture of invitation: "Please come with me, my lord. I will take you to find the bully who forcibly controlled me."
'It's too quick for you to change your mind. Hey! '
Can't help complaining in his heart, Jiang Beiran walked out with the female ghost.
An auspicious cloud blew out, and just as Jiang Beiran was about to go up, he saw Qingqing floating beside him.
"You want to go too?" Jiang Beiran asked.
"I'm going to protect my uncle!"
Looking at Qingqing's raised head and chest, Jiang Beiran was quite moved by the conversation he had heard in a daze before associating.
"Okay, come with me."
Led by the female ghost, Jiang Beiran soon came to an inaccessible swamp, and landed in front of a seemingly dilapidated thatched cottage.
"Your Majesty, this is it." The female ghost saluted courteously.
Using mental power to detect someone in the house, Jiang Beiran directly kicked the door open.
The people inside were obviously stunned for a moment, then quickly condensed a cloud of red profound energy, and pulled out two silver talisman papers from their waists.
But before he saw who was coming, he felt that his hands were completely controlled.
With a "bang", Jiang Beiran pressed the man against the wall.
"Don't move."
The Tiange people who were captured were stunned. No one knew where he was hiding, and the only ghost who knew could not betray him. How did this person find him!
Unwilling to sit still, Tian Ge struggled twice more, but the sound of continuous bone fractures responded to him.
"what!!!"
Hearing Tian Ge's screams, Jiang Beiran whispered in his ear: "Don't move around, or next time I will only crush your other parts."
Tian Ge, who was in so much pain that he couldn't speak, could only nod his head, knowing that he had encountered some evil today.
"I heard you can raise ghosts?" Jiang Beiran let go of Tian Ge, sniffed his nose twice, and found bloody smell all around.
human blood.
Hearing that the other party knew even his biggest secret, Tian Ge panicked and didn't know how to answer for a while.
