Meeting a madman was already the limit of what Hongdie could imagine.
Who could have expected that she would meet two at the same time
At that moment, Hongdie was speechless for a long time, looking at Jianchou, not knowing what to say.
There was only a strange and surging murderous intent in Jianchou's heart.
What a wonderful change
In the past, she regarded Xie Buchen as the love of her life, but now the love is gone and she is left with a heart full of hatred. And today, Fairy Red Butterfly actually told her that Xie Buchen still loves her
ha…
There is nothing more ironic in the world than this.
Jianchou's eyes slowly passed over the plain scabbard of the Human Emperor Sword, and he said, "Although it is not the sword of the past, it is the person of the past. Fairy Red Butterfly, thank you very much."
… Thanks
Hongdie gave a rare bitter smile, only looking at the chessboard in front of Chou, and said, "Why bother? You are missing four parts of your soul and three parts of your spirit. You will die if you question your conscience. There is only one realm between the Golden Core, the Nascent Soul, and the Out-of-Body. With your talent, you can only survive for a hundred years. Is revenge really more important than your own life?"
After all, he was a person that Hongdie liked. She couldn't bear to see such a person disappear in this world, so she couldn't help but sigh a few more times.
What she said was absolutely correct.
A person with a defective soul is an incomplete person. After leaving the body, the cultivator changes from cultivating the body to cultivating the mind. The so-called "heart" does not refer to the "heart" of the five internal organs, but the spiritual and soul realm.
How can a person with an incomplete soul cultivate his mind
That’s why it is said that once you examine your conscience, you will die without a doubt.
Jianchou's cultivation is now approaching the middle stage of the Golden Core. It took only two years from Qi Refining to the middle stage of the Golden Core.
Even though practicing in the future would be quite difficult, one could reach the out-of-body state within a hundred years.
What should you do after you reach the state of leaving your body
The red butterfly sighed, unaware of the sorrow it felt.
Who doesn’t value his own life
No one wants to face the fear of death.
Jianchou's eyelids moved slightly, and he lowered his eyes, but he smiled: "I cherish my life, but I have to practice. In this world, everything is precious. Although life is good, it can't stop me from pursuing the obsession in my heart."
"Obsession?" Hongdie wondered.
Jianchou nodded, but his eyes were still on the chessboard.
"Obsession is not hatred in my body or in my heart, but I don't understand. Regardless of whether the heaven and earth are affectionate or not, humans are different from the heaven and earth. Do we have to conform to the principles of heaven and earth to prove the great way of this world?"
"… "
Hongdie suddenly fell silent.
Jianchou didn't care about her silence: "Perhaps in the eyes of the fairy, my cultivation is insignificant and I still don't know what I am pursuing. But why should I think so much now? I just want to prove that his way is not the right way."
Why think so much...
Among all the cultivators in the world, who doesn’t think about what path he wants to take
Many people even have ideas and concepts at the beginning, and then they follow the route they have set.
This was the first time she saw the "unrighteous monk" speak of his "unrighteousness" so righteously and without any guilt at all.
But it was at this moment that Hongdie realized: this is what it means to be sad.
Even though she had been in the Nineteen Continents for a long time, she had never thought about how she could become an immortal. Everything was just like water flowing by, taking advantage of the situation...
The camera moves, and the heart is like a blank sheet of paper.
road
There is no Tao now, but the Tao will appear in the future.
A feeling of trance suddenly struck Hongdie's heart.
She was stunned, and actually had a vague feeling of enlightenment, but she couldn't tell where this feeling came from.
"I suddenly became curious... What will you look like in hundreds of years..."
A tone that was almost an exclamation.
When Jianchou listened, he suddenly remembered the "Jianchou" who appeared in the air at the Kunwu One-Man Stage Party in the past.
Then, everything suddenly became clear...
Why should we continue to practice if our soul is incomplete
If you leave your body you will die, so why not stop moving forward
Life is short, why waste it
…
There are so many whys, but in the end they are no match for these two words: scenery.
Only by climbing high can you see far.
The scenery in the world is so beautiful, how dare she stop
Then, a smile suddenly appeared on his face.
Jianchou's expression softened a little, and he just bowed to Hongdie and said, "I will always remember the fairy's care and guidance."
This is ready to go.
The confused Hongdie only saw the clarity in Jianchou's eyes, as if he had thought of something or figured something out.
But she couldn't ask.
Seeing Jianchou bowing to her, she also slightly turned sideways, nodded and smiled: "There are three thousand worlds in the mortal world, and each world is a thought. There is no doubt in your heart. I shouldn't have asked you to enter this calamity, so I will use the sky as a chessboard and the stars as pieces. When a piece falls, a lamp will light up. When the chess game is over, it will be time to light up the thousand-foot lamp in this mortal world. Daoist Jianchou, please."
She had no doubts in her mind, so she was not invited into this disaster, but the chessboard and chess pieces were prepared
The sky is a chessboard and the stars are the pieces. When a piece falls, a lamp lights up.
When Jianchou listened, a strange look suddenly appeared in his eyes.
Star, as a son
A huge chessboard, with longitude and latitude lines crisscrossing and shining, was spread out in the void and on the mountain path in front of her.
The moment her eyes fell on the chessboard, there seemed to be a subtle force of attraction coming from the intersection of each line, trying to absorb her gaze and her thoughts, like a chaos of black and white.
In just a blink of an eye, her entire mind was completely immersed in it.
It is a wonderful state.
How insignificant are humans in front of the great chessboard of heaven and earth
However, Jianchou just stood there quietly.
Hongdie was standing behind her, also looking at her in the same way. Her enchanting eyes revealed a little insight and wisdom.
Without looking for long, Hongdie lowered her head, looked at the little mouse in her palm, gently tapped it with her fingertips, and chuckled.
"You don't quite understand it any more than I do, do you?"
The little mouse chirped twice and turned around in her palm.
The red butterfly didn't care much. She just sighed softly and then disappeared. Only Jianchou was left standing there.
The mountain breeze is blowing.
The long mountain path seemed to have no end. One green lamp after another stretched out from in front of Jianchou, slowly extending into the distance, all the way hidden in the clouds at the end.
Jianchou stared at the chessboard, at Tianyuan's position. At that moment, an indescribable emotion surged out of him -
She raised her finger.
At that moment, countless bright stars gathered from the horizon under the blue sky and condensed at her fingertips!
In the blink of an eye, it turns into a shining chess piece!
“Bang!”
The hand rises and the piece falls!
Towards the very center of the chessboard...
***
"Um?"
Before he could make his move, Xie Buchen was the only one left in the wind and rain corridor.
He stood tall, his blue shirt soaked through, with a look of indifference and gentleness between his brows. For the first time, his originally calm face was tinged with a hint of surprise.
Yes.
surprise.
There was a little bit of bright light condensed between him, like the light of water condensed from this world of wind and rain, and each chess piece seemed like a lake of water.
The highest good is like water; it contains all things and changes according to circumstances.
However, before this chess piece could even land on the ground, someone had already placed a piece on the huge chessboard in front of him.
"Tianyuan..."
With his brows slightly furrowed, Xie Buchen knew without looking back that the incarnation of the red butterfly had disappeared.
Tianyuan is the very center of the chessboard and the only position on the entire chessboard where no symmetry point can be found.
Generally speaking, the person who plays chess first will take advantage of the situation in order to win. However, if he plays chess on the "Tianyuan", he will undoubtedly give up the opportunity and give the initiative to the next person.
In Go, those who play in this position are almost always beginners who are not very sensible.
But, could the person on the other side of me in this chess game be a beginner
Xie Buchen narrowed his eyes slightly, and a thoughtful gleam flashed across his eyes.
A beginner? Or someone who doesn't care about winning or losing and is impartial
or…
The other party thinks that it’s okay to let him take a hand
Unable to judge.
He even didn't know who was playing chess with him.
When a person is in the thousand-foot lamp of the mortal world, he is in the trap of the Red Butterfly Fairy. He can see what he is thinking and feel everything he feels.
It can be said that this game of chess is by no means as simple as the ones he usually encounters.
Xie Buchen held the chess piece formed by the mist and rain around it, curled the corners of his lips slightly, then reached out his hand and gently let it go.
“Pah.”
It is the sound of a drop of water falling into the lake.
It was also the sound of a light nearby suddenly lighting up.
When the chess piece fell under his fingertips, ripples appeared on the entire chessboard, spreading out from where he placed the piece.
Under the wind and rain corridor, a green lamp was dimly lit in the drifting mist and rain.
The position of this move is close to Tianyuan.
Next to the white piece on the chessboard that seemed to be made of condensed starlight, there was a black piece that was made of condensed black water. For a moment, black and white were pressed against each other, and a tit-for-tat momentum suddenly emerged!
The feeling at that moment is hard to describe...
Xie Buchen's fingers, which had just been lowered, felt strangely stiff. He just hung them by his side, staring at the chessboard, not knowing what he was thinking about...
***
"Damn woman..."
The handsome boy's face turned pale. He put on his clothes that were wrinkled by someone and looked at the sea of flowers in front of him with a look of almost grinding his teeth.
The red butterfly has disappeared, and only in this sea of flowers, her enchanting and complacent laughter seems to still remain.
Opposite sexes are attracted to each other, but to some extent...
When the handsome boy met the red butterfly, he met a fellow human being.
He walked out from among the flowers, step by step, towards a plain green lamp in the sea of flowers, and smiled with his eight white teeth showing his coldness as he walked: "Don't give me another chance to find you, or I will strip you naked!"
“Bang!”
With a flick of his fingers, a cluster of fire shot towards the green lamp.
In the blink of an eye, the green light was on!
Phew.
A flickering flame shot out from the lamp, and a flickering spark, accompanied by the dancing flame, actually spread in all directions.
Ruhua Gongzi was startled and subconsciously thought that something was wrong.
The next moment, he suddenly opened his folding fan, his teeth clenched, his face icy, "I've fallen into the trap again!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the spark quickly fell onto the surrounding sea of blooming flowers.
It was like a spark that fell into a vast dry grassland and suddenly set the whole prairie on fire!
Almost immediately I heard a loud "boom" and the entire sea of flowers suddenly caught fire!
Standing beside the green lanterns and in the sea of flowers, the handsome young man was immediately surrounded by the blazing fire...
***
"Do you really know me?"
She was a very young girl with two pigtails, a white face and blood-red eyes. She looked innocent yet made people feel a little scared.
Her chubby little hand gently rested on the corner of Xiahou She's blood-stained red robe.
Xiahou She stood at the bridgehead of the village, next to the lit green lantern, looking at the little girl with some surprise.
The more I look at it, the more familiar it feels...
When his dark red pupils turned and met the girl's gaze, that strange feeling of familiarity suddenly reached its limit!
"Who are you… "
At that moment, Xiahou She's pupils dilated slightly!
The village behind is quiet and beautiful, connected to a huge town.
On the village road, there were woodcutters carrying firewood, village women following the crowd, some sitting by the river weaving nets, and some leaning on the bow of a boat drinking...
But, without exception, they are all different from ordinary people.
Some people have bloodshot pupils, some have dark blue faces, some have only one leg, and some have fiery red tattoos on their bodies...
So familiar!
That feeling is so familiar!
Xiahou She stood in front of the village, on the bridge, looking at the world that appeared after he lit the green lamp. He felt like he was dreaming:
It's an instrument!
He inherited the will of the existence in the back mountain, possessed tens of thousands of weapons, and was the master of all weapons!
And these in front of us...
Even this little girl with pigtails is his "tool".
Famous instruments have spirits...
Perhaps because she saw that the young man in red didn't say anything, the little girl pulled him again.
Xiahou She looked down.
"I don't want to live in a tomb anymore. I want to get out."
The sound is soft and sticky, with a sweet taste.
The girl pouted and pulled him to talk like a spoiled child.
Under the bridge, a small boat slowly passed by.
The man leaning on the boat drinking, watching the scene on the bridge with a smile, squinting his eyes in fascination, just gently threw the wine pot into the river, and sighed: "The Lord of Ten Thousand Armies..."
“Crash!”
A huge wave rose up out of nowhere and instantly turned into a long dragon, heading straight for Xiahou She who was standing on the bridge!
***
The white fog is vast.
There is a smooth road ahead, with no obstacles.
After Lu Xiangleng said goodbye to Hongdie and walked along the way, all he saw was this white mist and nothing else.
It's like walking into a maze. If you are not careful, you won't be able to tell the front, back, left and right.
fine.
The green lights before her, one by one, moving forward, pointed her in the direction.
Lu Xiang frowned, thinking about the conversation between herself and Hong Die, and walked forward step by step.
She walked at a fast pace, but would only stop and light a lamp when she saw one.
One lamp, one lamp, and another lamp.
…
Soon, the road she came from was brightly lit.
The green lights formed a line, extending towards the direction she came from.
only…
It's no longer clear.
Lu Xiangleng looked back and felt that something was wrong.
She didn't think too much about it for the time being, she just kept moving forward and continued lighting the lamp.
After a while, the fog in front of us seemed to have come to an end.
To be more precise, the row of green lights before my eyes seemed to have come to an end.
A lotus lantern as big as a bowl stood in front of Lu Xiangleng. She was dressed in white and her skin was as white as snow.
When a person stands in front of the lamp, a small ball of purple-gold light appears on his fingertips, and just with this background, there is a sense of transparency into the mundane world.
The lamp before her was the last one she could see.
As long as she lit this lamp, she seemed to be able to go out and have a chance to get Master Buyu's "Forty-eight Records of Qingfeng Temple", which was the most complete record in the history of the Nineteen Continents.
About "Nine-bend River Map".
Lu Xiangleng felt that she should have lit this last lamp without hesitation, no matter what happened after it was lit.
But...
At this point, everything has been so smooth that it's hard to believe.
Lu Xiangleng became a little suspicious, and the light at her fingertips began to flicker.
To click or not to click

"I'm going to die, I'm really going to die!!!"
Zuo Liu was standing in the Eighteen Bronze Men Lane, panting, and finally remembered a word that people often said: club.
He feels like a fool now!
"I'm warning you, I'm now a disciple of Yashan. If you dare to hit me again, I'm going to turn against you!"
Zuo Liu pointed at the "person" in front of him with trembling hands and threatened him with harsh words.
But before he could finish his threat, the bronze man punched him!
"ah!"
Poor Zuo Liu never thought that the opponent would actually attack him actively. He was hit unexpectedly and a fist landed on his relatively straight nose. Blood gushed out immediately!
Blood was flowing out of both nostrils, and he looked extremely miserable.
He was so angry that he was shaking. He wiped the blood with his hand, not caring whether it was wiped clean or not. He bent down, and jumped suddenly when the bronze man attacked him again!
Wow!
This jump is more than three feet high
Zuo Liu almost rushed up to the sky!
He barely avoided the arm swung at him by the third bronze man, and was so angry that his teeth were itching.
"I knew that the woman in red had no good intentions! Pretty women are always deceiving! Especially those who are so alluring and voluptuous! Ahhh, I'm so pissed!"
"If a tiger doesn't show its might, you think I'm a sick cat, right?!"
Zuo Liu was so angry that he started to show his fangs and claws.
No matter who doesn't want to come in, but is forced to come in and be tempered by the Eighteen Bronze Men Formation, they will be skinned alive even if they don't die!
Zuo Liusheng is a hooligan, but he just can't stand the suffering of being a hooligan.
He was in mid-air, looking at the emotionless bronze men below, and calculated the time for his own fall - in this formation of bronze men, all light-weight skills were useless.
“Pah.”
With a flip of his finger, the jade scroll that had been kept in front of Zuo Liu was opened by him at the moment when he was in danger of falling!
"disease!"
A word came out of his mouth!
Zuo Liu pointed his finger in the air, and a strange circular seal appeared from his hand and was imprinted on the golden and red seal on the jade folder!
“Bang!”
The circular seal disappeared, but the golden-red seal glowed brightly.
Zuo Liu just felt his mouth dry and stared closely.
Brush...
A jaw-dropping scene appeared -
A gold-painted paper fan actually stretched out from the golden and red seal. There were a few gorgeous flowers painted on the fan, and it exuded a strong scent of powder that could be smelled by both men and women.
Then, there was a chuckle...
At that moment, even Zuo Liu himself was horrified!
The fan in the seal became clearer and clearer, and it actually stretched out from the seal. In the blink of an eye, a complete young man condensed out from the seal!
He came out, but seemed not to see Zuo Liu. He just waved the gold-sprinkled fan lightly downwards.
"boom!"
A terrifying force swept across.
Zuo Liu clenched his fists excitedly, waiting for the incarnation seal of Ruhua Gongzi to show its power, and swept away all the bronze men below with a fan...
Unexpectedly…
The embroidered pillow is a bag of grass!
A seemingly terrifying gust of wind blew out, but just when it was about to reach the bottom, it suddenly dissipated!
Zuo Liu felt as if he was hit in the chest and almost vomited blood: "You cheated your father!"
It turns out that any seal talisman that has never been tried is nonsense!
No one knows whether the Dao Seal he copied from Mr. Ruhua was too bad or his own level was not good enough.
The only thing Zuo Liu knows is...
It's bad luck!
There was a terrifying suction force coming from the ground below, as if pressing down on his shoulders and forcing him to sink.
The power of flying in the air that one possesses in the Jindan stage is useless here!
"ah!"
Zuo Liu completely lost control of himself and fell downwards again!
"Your grandma!"
He started shouting and cursing loudly, and at the same time tried every possible means to find a cure, refusing to believe that he was so unlucky.
If the first seal doesn't work, then the second one won't work either?!
“Bang!”
At the critical moment, he poked his finger on the jade fold again!
Zuo Liu was delighted, and the smile on his face just bloomed, but before it could take shape, it froze the next moment...
It was a golden-red seal, still flickering with light.
He only had two seals of this quality, one from Jianchou and one from Xie Buchen...
“Oh no!”
Wrong click!
The one he wanted to poke was the very reliable Senior Sister Jianchou, not this seal of Xie Buchen!
It’s over!
Zuo Liu fell from a high altitude, and his heart sank instantly!
It was about to crash headfirst into the bronze arm of a bronze man and be shattered to pieces.
"go!"
An indifferent voice suddenly exploded in Zuo Liu's ears!
In his field of vision, the eighteen bronze men in the alley that were getting closer and closer suddenly collapsed the moment this word was uttered!
"Crash..."
It was like being swept away by a strong wind, like withering dry trees and rotten wood.
The arms of each bronze man were broken like branches!
"… "
I was dumbfounded.
Zuo Liu fell to the ground with a bang, grimacing in pain, but he couldn't help the shock that was almost fearful in his heart.
Lying in the ruins of the Eighteen Bronze Men, he turned his head with difficulty, only to see a figure that had faded to the point of being almost invisible.
Thank you for your phantom...
In the blink of an eye, the wind blew and the figure disappeared like smoke and sand.
“Pah.”
The golden-red seal, which was shining brightly, dimmed in an instant.
The emerald jade folder flew back from the air, as if it had a soul, and fell directly on Zuo Liu, but he did not react at all.
Only the fear and shock in his eyes continued to grow.
The incarnation seal is a random replica of the power of a certain seal of the blood owner...
However, the power of this word "Xie Buchen" had never been revealed in his many previous battles with Senior Sister Jianchou.
"Words come out... and the law follows?"
Zuo Liu was a little dazed, not sure whether what he perceived was correct.
But the next moment, he immediately climbed up from the ground, not even caring about the pain in his body.
Xie Buchen still has a killer trick up his sleeve!
This bastard!
If Senior Sister Jianchou meets him earlier, it would be terrible!
"We must do it before they meet..."
At that moment, Zuo Liu was sweating coldly. Without hesitation, he grabbed the jade scroll and rushed forward!
***
“Pah.”
Another piece falls.
Every time the chess piece hits the chessboard, there is a sound of a star stream exploding, as if something in the heart is exploding as well.
Then, the green lights on the long path lit up one after another.
The starlight was condensed on Jianchou's fingertips, as if it was pulling the light of billions of stars together on the chessboard to form a round chess piece.
The first move was to place the piece at Tianyuan, but it actually had no effect at all.
It’s not that Jianchou doesn’t know how to play chess, but when the starlight gathered on her fingertips, she really found it difficult to control herself.
The sky is a chessboard and the stars are the pieces.
When making a move, of course it should be in the most central position.
There was a smile on her lips, and her thin eyebrows were not drawn, but they were also lightly dark blue, like the green mountains in the distance, making her whole face carry a sense of distant meaning.
It was like he was laughing at his own useless move, or like he was recalling the feeling at that moment of playing chess.
Raise your hand and make the move calmly.
Jianchou's gaze swept across the gradually complete chessboard, and his eyes were shining with brilliance.
The person who plays chess with her is definitely a perfect opponent.
There are thousands of lamps in the mortal world. Lighting a lamp at random is just one of the three thousand mortal worlds of Red Butterfly.
Although he didn't know where the chessboard in front of him came from, Jianchou thought that the opponent opposite him should not be Hongdie.
So decisive, so meticulous, so murderous.
From the moment she made her first move, Tianyuan, this person took advantage of the opportunity she had given up without hesitation, moving closer with one move and then pressing forward step by step.
The opponent is like a falcon hovering high in the sky, overlooking the overall situation and waiting for an opportunity to strike.
He was neither hurried nor slow, even with a kind of leisurely elegance...
This style of chess...
Jianchou's brows suddenly frowned.
The next moment, a black chess piece appeared out of thin air, as if someone was sitting opposite Jianchou, raised his hand, and gently pressed down a chess piece.
The black chess pieces, as if condensed from lake water, fell slowly and slowly with a natural roundness and transparency.
On the long mountain road, there were bright lights behind Jianchou.
The chessboard was illuminated by the light, with a bright and lustrous luster shining through, and the scattered light sprinkled on the chess pieces bit by bit.
In the whole world, the only sound is the mountain breeze blowing past my ears.
“Pah.”
The sound of a chess piece falling, carried in the mountain breeze, was like a drop of water falling into a lake, creating ripples.
What a clear voice!
What a shocking sound!
At that moment, Jianchou looked at the chess piece and the layout around the chessboard, and unexpectedly felt that the vague sense of familiarity just now had become difficult to look at in the blink of an eye!
This is an extremely risky move as the enemy is alone and deep in the enemy's territory!
Few people would dare to take such a risk...
It can be seen that sorrow is fleeting.
Her chess skills, mostly from Xie Buchen, were not sophisticated, and were even very superficial.
When playing chess with Xie Buchen, he was often the one who dominated the game, winning and losing one game at a time, but he never played a third game.
Jianchou naturally knew that the victory and loss did not mean that she really had the ability to defeat Xie Buchen, but that he deliberately let her win.
In fact, she had never won in her game with Xie Buchen.
The world of mortals is three thousand feet...
It was another familiar move, which was always effective in a certain situation.
If she remembered correctly, all six of them were thrown into those green lamps, and they were probably all having different experiences.
There was no one on the other side of the chessboard, only a void. Through that void, one could only see a mountain path stretching out, and it seemed that it would soon reach the top of the mountain.
Amidst the mountains, everything at the end seemed to become clear.
It can be seen that Chou's heart began to be confused.
She looked across the chessboard, as if she was looking through the game of chess at the nonexistent opponent behind the board.
Since the beginning of cultivation, the soul spirit will grow accordingly with the growth of cultivation.
The mind is more sensitive, the thinking is clearer, and the thoughts are more transparent...
All the monks have computing abilities far beyond those of ordinary people, so some things that are popular on isolated islands in the human world are rarely touched upon in the Nineteen Continents.
The same goes for chess.
A powerful monk can calculate all the chess moves just by looking at the chessboard. How can there be any suspense in this game of chess
But for the current sorrow...
Not yet.
The cultivation is not enough, and the cultivation of the "heart" is not enough either.
When she looked at this game of chess, she felt half clear-headed and half confused.
It’s not that she is too weak, but that her opponent is too strong.
Fairy Red Butterfly, what is your intention
Jianchou stared at the chess piece dropped by his opponent for a long time without making any move.
The entire mountain road seemed to be shrouded in a layer of dusk.
The starlight gathered and dispersed at the fingertips of Jianchou, like the grains of sand in the Ganges, gathering and dispersing, entwining around her fingers, as if sensing her thoughts.
After a long time, she finally concentrated and frowned, and gently placed a piece next to the black piece.
“Pah.”
A very light and subtle sound.
It seemed that the billions of stars were also entangled in Jianchou's eyes, constantly twinkling and shining.
A green lamp beside him lit up, and the huge floating chessboard also moved towards the mountain path. Jianchou put his hands behind his back, took a step forward, and climbed up.
The chess game is halfway done, and the mountain road is also halfway done.
Each lamp was dimly lit, becoming brighter in the gradually falling dusk.
