As he went deeper into the Shenhe Sect, the mysteries in Zhang Xiaofeng's heart gradually increased, but these were actually irrelevant. He had only one purpose for coming. As long as he asked the questions, he could leave immediately and not stay for a long time.

Just when Zhang Xiaofeng was wandering around and had a headache, he found a figure appearing in a somewhat empty house. Since the door of the house was not closed, Zhang Xiaofeng took a look and saw that the house was extremely empty. If it had been properly decorated,

If it were, it would be desolate. And among the entire compound, there was only a stone table in the center. At this moment, an old man with white hair was sitting on a stone chair under the stone table.

Now that the old man was facing him sideways, Zhang Xiaofeng could only see the side of the other man clearly, but Zhang Xiaofeng could imagine the face of the old man just from the side. The white and scattered hair was as short but not long as a pile of dead grass.

Scattered on the head. The face is extremely thin and shriveled, and the frame of the bones is exposed. He is wearing a very light blue robe. I don’t know whether it is because of his thinness or the fact that the robe he is wearing does not meet the size. The robe is now hanging down.

It's like hanging on an old man's body.

At this time, the old man was concentrating, staring at the stone table, completely unaware that Zhang Xiaofeng was watching him outside the yard.

"Well……"

Zhang Xiaofeng originally thought that the other party's strength should be lower than his own. After all, he was testing the opponent like this, and the other party had no idea. But because of this feeling, Zhang Xiaofeng tested the opponent's strength. It would be better not to test, but under the test

, you can't tell the other party's strength at all, which means that the other party's cultivation level is far higher than yours.

"Young man, don't stand outside, come in and sit down!"

Just when Zhang Xiaofeng was surprised, a message suddenly entered his mind. Now that there was no one around, Zhang Xiaofeng obviously knew that the message came from the old man in the yard. From this point of view, the other party might have

Zhang Xiaofeng had discovered his existence a long time ago. Now that he had been discovered, Zhang Xiaofeng stopped hiding and moved away.

When Zhang Xiaofeng came to the stone table, the old man still didn't raise his head, his eyes continued to stare at the stone table, his brows furrowed, as if he was thinking about something.

"Young man, don't stand there stupidly. There are chairs here to sit on." After a while, the old man finally raised his head, glanced at Zhang Xiaofeng and said kindly.

"Uh, senior, I'm sorry to have disturbed you!" In this world where strength is respected, Zhang Xiaofeng certainly knows some rules and regulations. After all, he offended the other party by unintentionally investigating, so he should apologize.

.

"Oh? Haha! Did I say I wanted to blame you? It's just that you came at the wrong time and I was in a serious situation, so I didn't talk to you right away!" The old man asked Zhang Xiaofeng in an interesting tone.

"A serious situation? This...?" Zhang Xiaofeng obviously couldn't understand when he heard this.

"Just playing chess!" the old man responded simply.

"Play chess? Where is the chess here?" Zhang Xiaofeng looked at the table. Not to mention the chessboard, there were not even chess pieces, so how could he play chess?

"To play chess, do you have to have chess pieces and a chessboard? As long as you have chess in your heart, there will be chess, and my chessboard is in my eyes!" the old man explained.

"Oh! So what's the situation now? Is there any opportunity?"

When Zhang Xiaofeng heard this, he was immediately relieved. If it was like this, didn't he often do this in the past? But in the past, what he simulated in his mind was not chess records. Most of them were used to discuss formations, so he often set thousands of restrictions on himself. Now

The old man's method is similar to his own, but it is used to play chess. No wonder the old man has been concentrating on it.

"Haha! It didn't exist originally, but after you came, it was broken!" the old man said with a smile.

"Could this broken machine have something to do with me? Senior, if possible, can you let me have a look at the situation?" Zhang Xiaofeng felt that there was something in the old man's words, and it was far from being as simple as the surface meaning, so he asked curiously.

"Young man, do you also know how to play chess?" The old man heard the sound, his deep eyes sunken in his eye sockets couldn't help but light up, and then he asked overjoyed.

The old man looked at him like this, as if he was seeing a treasure. Zhang Xiaofeng couldn't help but tremble in his heart. So Zhang Xiaofeng said: "This junior only knows a little bit about it, but I can't say that I understand it."

"Well, I have been thinking about this mystery for tens of millions of years and have never solved it. Now it has been solved, but I would like to see if you have other insights." The old man said happily, and then

As soon as his eyes blinked, a chess game flashed on the table.

"Well……"

It was said to be a chess game, but Zhang Xiaofeng didn't look at it like a chess game. After all, it was just a square with two black dots on its empty surface.

The chessboard must be in a traditional format, and the chess pieces should obviously be similar. But where has Zhang Xiaofeng seen such a chessboard and chess pieces? At best, it is just two black dots drawn on a white board. From another perspective, the situation Zhang Xiaofeng sees now is still

It's like two spots accidentally dropped on the white paper.

"Is the phone broken?" Seeing Zhang Xiaofeng's stunned expression at this moment, the old man couldn't help but asked curiously.

"This... haha! Seniors, please don't make fun of me. Don't mention any clues. This junior can't even understand what kind of chess this is." Zhang Xiaofeng touched his forehead, feeling extremely embarrassed, and told the old man truthfully.

"Young man, chess does not really require chess pieces on the board. If you think chess should be like that, then you will never get out of the game." The old man said still gently.

As soon as he said these words, Zhang Xiaofeng was suddenly shocked. The old man's words seemed simple and ordinary, but they were just like the supreme meaning of the universe. In the dark, everyone in the world is like a chess piece, subject to the mercy of God's fate. If people are chess pieces,

Then God is the chessboard, and the chess pieces cannot escape from the chessboard no matter what. The situation is like the fate of the chess pieces, that is, the fate of people is controlled by the situation.

Although Zhang Xiaofeng was not sure why he was so shocked by the old man's blunt words, and even thought of them so much, he had to say that the old man's blunt words were very important to him. It was not so much a reminder that he should not dwell on the past when watching chess.

Among them, after all, the things I think about are all deep-rooted things left over from ancient times. For example, a cup should look like a cup, and the sun and moon should be round. Only by breaking these restrictions and constraints

, only then can you see the farther heaven and earth, the farther world.

"Senior, your words have reminded me of countless things. I really don't know how to be grateful." After Zhang Xiaofeng digested his experience, he bowed respectfully.

"You understand?" The old man was just stunned for a moment when he saw Zhang Xiaofeng. Could it be that he understood what he meant?

"Yeah! I understand!" Zhang Xiaofeng nodded and responded truthfully.

"Then what do you understand? Tell me quickly." Hearing this, the old man stood up excitedly and stared at Zhang Xiaofeng as if he was going crazy.

Seeing the old man so excited, Zhang Xiaofeng was a little surprised at the moment. So he asked doubtfully: "Is it important to understand this?"

"Of course it is important! Look at the chess game on the table now. It is actually an eternal puzzle set up by the founder of our Shenhe Sect. The previous sentence is the ancestor's reminder of the chess game. It was not created by me, but all

The disciples of the inheritance are all looking for an opportunity. I have studied for countless years, and now I have an epiphany about the opportunity when I meet you. You have just seen it, and there is an opportunity. Aren't I excited?

"The old man informed Zhang Xiaofeng.

"ah……?"

When Zhang Xiaofeng heard this, he couldn't explain the surprise in his heart. He didn't expect that what he just realized was the key to the chess game. In other words, he had solved the chess game without any reason.

"Ah what? Don't be in a daze, tell me quickly!" the old man said with obvious urging.

"Senior, before I speak, senior, would you like me to tell you your opinion on this chess game? After all, I am just confused, I can't say I really understand it!" Zhang Xiaofeng followed.

"Well, that's right!" Hearing this, the old man seemed to be mentally balanced. After all, he had been studying for countless years, and all the disciples of the Shenhe Sect had been studying, and they had never come up with a reasonable solution. Now the boy in front of him only

He saw through it after just one glance. That couldn't be justified. To put it another way, wouldn't it be that all the disciples of the Shenhe Sect were inferior to the person in front of him?

"This chess game is not a traditional chess game. It seems that the intention of the ancestor is to let us not stick to the old rules. From another perspective, this chess game can actually be regarded as our Shenhe Sect. And the two black points in the chess game

The dots falling on the chessboard can mean two people. Because they are black and invisible, I don’t know what the black dots are. I couldn’t understand them in the past, but now I understand.” The old man said his

Express your thoughts.

"Then what is this opinion?" From what the old man said, Zhang Xiaofeng seemed to think that these two points were related to him, but he couldn't express it clearly so he asked.

"For thousands of years, our Shenhe Sect has been a holy land. No one has ever come here. It is like a blank chessboard. Now, two strangers have entered, but haven't they applied for two points on this chessboard?

From this point of view, the chess game left by the founder of the mountain is to predict the future, that is, today. Whether it is a disaster or a blessing, I don't know why." The old man explained sanctimoniously.

"Uh, high, really high! Just one chess game can predict the future of all eternity!" Zhang Xiaofeng was speechless at the old man's analysis. It sounded like he was just looking for excuses to solve the puzzle.

It’s the same as above. Although the old man’s analysis is not unreasonable, do the two points on the chessboard really refer to himself and the woman in white? After all, such an analysis is obviously unreasonable.

In Zhang Xiaofeng's view, this chess game is not a chess game at all. In addition, the purpose of the founder's instructions is indeed to make the younger generations not to stick to the old rules and to look further. But something more profound is the Shenhe Sect.
