Snapped!

A chess piece carved from mutton-fat white jade fell heavily on the chessboard made of thousand-year-old ancient pine. The two fingers like dead branches holding the chess piece seemed to be reluctant to part with the warmth of the chess piece. They stroked it several times before reluctantly parting.

Land taken back.

Old Man Tianhai's face glowed red, he smiled happily and said: "As soon as this one falls, everything will be alive. Master Ziyang, I'm afraid you are going to lose this game again!"

Master Ziyang looked solemn, holding a black stone in his hand. He pondered for a long time, and then he touched the white chess piece in the air, and then said with a smile: "Brother Tianhaidao is very good at chess, I admire you, I admire you!"

Although Master Ziyang is old, his hands are like jade, warm on the inside and moist on the outside. This is not the result of maintenance, but the effect of Taoism that goes against heaven.

As soon as Ziyang Zhenren made this move, Tianhai's long eyebrows immediately jumped. He stared at the chessboard and pondered for a moment, then smiled and said: "Although your move is extremely dangerous, it is not the right way to go in the wrong direction. This game.

I think it is hopeless to make a comeback in chess. Playing chess is like practicing Taoism. A little difference can make a world of difference! Haha, Taoist brother Ziyang, although your chess skills are not much different from mine, but after a few days of playing, you have lost nine out of nine battles.

This is evident from this!”

Master Ziyang was not at all ashamed of nine defeats, he just stroked his beard and smiled, saying: "What Taoist brother Tianhai said is true, there are many similarities between spiritual cultivation and chess skills. The secret method of Yunzhongju is unpredictable, and it is the best in the world.

Reason, this is what I have always longed for.”

Old Man Tianhai smiled from ear to ear, and refused to drop a white stone in his hand, saying: "Brother Ziyang is too modest. The three pure secrets of your sect were left behind by Guangchengzi when he ascended to immortality. They are no better than the Xuanhuanglu I sent."

It’s bad. It’s just...the young disciples taught by your sect are not very good at attaining the Dharma. Too many disciples are just too many. If they are not good enough, what’s the use?"

As soon as he said this, Yuxu, Taiwei and other real people who were watching the chess on the side suddenly looked a little ugly. In fact, in the past few days of the exam, the young disciples of the Daodezong and Yunzhongju sects were competing with each other. It has long been a secret known to everyone.

How could these Daodezong disciples, including Ji Bingxian, be defeated? How could these real people not know? In the past few days, although Daoist people and old man Tianhai stayed at home and played chess here day and night, this was too moral.

Although the palace is huge, how can what happened escape their spiritual consciousness?

In fact, real people are very discerning. There is no need for a real competition on Taoism. I have only met the three disciples of Yun Zhongju, and I know that none of them can pass the test of Gu Qing.

However, this time the few masters held back their words. Old Man Tianhai looked around with a smile, and then the white piece fell down with a snap, completely sealing Master Ziyang's retreat.

Master Ziyang stroked his beard and smiled, picked up a chess piece, and pondered for a long time, but couldn't put it down. He raised his head and smiled at the old man Tianhai and said: "There are many outstanding disciples in Yunzhongju. Brother Tianhai must have put a lot of thought into it. Especially, especially

Gu Qing is so young, but his Qi is already integrated with the heaven and earth. It seems that he has a chance to become a flying immortal. For such a person to overwhelm me, a young disciple of the Taoism Sect, it was originally a matter of time. It seems that the rise of Zhongzhong is just around the corner.

Look forward to it!”

Bang, Ziyang Zhenren’s sunspot fell.

Old Man Tianhai didn't even look at where Master Ziyang was going. He couldn't help but laugh out loud: "That's right, that's right! It does take some luck to accept Qing'er, a child like me, into my cloud residence. Haha,

Haha, ahhahaha!”

He smiled happily, but his mind was no longer confused. After the smile fell, he tightened Ziyang's anger a little more, without giving any chance.

Old Man Tianhai didn't notice that the faces of the other real people watching the battle were a bit strange, as if they were suppressing laughter.

Master Ziyang picked up another chess piece and put it down in no hurry. He smiled slightly and said calmly, "I wonder how old Gu Qing is this year?"

"Just twenty!" Old Tianhai said proudly.

Master Ziyang nodded and said with a smile: "That's great! We are of the same age, both have good character, and we get along very well. Our sect is also a good match. It is rare for Brother Tianhai Dao to come here with his disciples, but it has made a beautiful thing." Thing! Taoist brother Tianhai is highly respected, but Taoist brother is a few years older and can still make some decisions for the younger generation. In my opinion, it is my right way to take advantage of this auspicious day to settle the marriage between my young disciple and Gu Qing as soon as possible. A great event.”

Old man Tianhai was shocked. He stared at Master Ziyang for a long time, and then said angrily: "What are you talking about, Brother Ziyang? What about Qing'er's marriage? Qing'er has never gone down the mountain in fifteen years, so what does it have to do with your apprentice?" ?Don’t even think about such a dirty idea!"

Master Ziyang didn't take it seriously at all, and casually dropped the chess piece in his hand while saying: "Although Gu Qing has not been out of the clouds for fifteen years, he obviously has some predestined relationship with his apprentice. When she saw her apprentice in Taiqingchi that day, she Now that you have come to me, you want to refer to my Taoist sect. Pindao thinks that although the two sects of Gui and I have had a deep understanding of each other for thousands of years, Qing'er and Xiaotu are both talented people. In this chaotic world, these sects may not be so different for a while. Put it aside. So Pindao allowed her to freely access any collection in the Tao Te Sect."

Old Man Tianhai shouted and immediately jumped up and pointed at Master Ziyang. His face turned red and he was speechless for a moment. Just then Master Ziyang had already proposed marriage. As he is in charge of the Daode Sect, it can be said that everyone Every word you say is like being carved in stone, no joke. In today's world, the skills of each sect are kept secret. It is unique that such a big exam as the Taoism Sect is allowed to be watched. Therefore, Gu Qing said: As a disciple of Yun Zhongju, it was an extremely polite request to ask for a copy of the Taoist Sect, but Master Ziyang actually got it right!

This betrothal gift is a bit large.

Old Tianhai glared at Master Ziyang for a long time. Seeing that he looked calm and showed no signs of joking, he sat down again, threw down a piece of paper, and said in a low voice: "Then what are Qing'er doing these days?"

Master Ziyang immediately responded and said with a smile: "She has been practicing and reading scriptures at her disciple's place for the past three days, and she is very happy with her. The poor Taoist saw this, so she made this abrupt request to Taoist brother Xiang Tianhai. Your Majesty. If our two factions share the same spirit, there will be many benefits. Brother Dao is a man of great wisdom, so there is no need for me to say more about this."

Old Man Tianhai remained silent again and started playing chess. This time, he made many mistakes and ruined the good situation.

From the moment he entered Tao De Sect, old man Tianhai was separated from his three disciples and only played chess with a few real people of Tao De Sect day and night. He was confident and knew that Shi Ji and others could do without any worries if he was not present. , let go and acted. Sure enough, the three beloved disciples lived up to his high expectations and killed the younger generation of Daode Sect disciples in an understatement.

But he never expected that it would end like this!

If this marriage really happens, it will indeed be a big event that will cause a stir in the righteous way. But Yun Zhong Tianhai has changed from coming to challenge people to sending people up the mountain. Not only will he leave a smile on his face forever?

But when Gu Qing just went to Mogan Peak, why did he become so entangled with Master Ziyang's disciple? A long-standing relationship? Believe it or not!

Old Man Tianhai left the Taiqing Palace with murderous intent, and in a blink of an eye he arrived at the residence of Gu Qing and the other three. At this time, the night was falling and the cold stars were hanging high. Before he even stepped into the courtyard, he could hear the sound inside the courtyard. There were quarrels.

"You go to Ji Ruochen's residence every morning early in the morning and return late at night. How unbecoming is that? You have lived in the clouds for thousands of years, how can you die on Mogan Peak like this?" Chu Han's tone was stern, and he sounded a little excited. .This is an extremely rare thing for him who is known for his concentration.

"Yunzhongju's reputation is not tied to me, senior brother, I'm serious." Gu Qing said calmly.

"No matter what, you are not allowed to go to Ji Ruochen's residence tomorrow!" Chu Han shouted.

At this time, Shi Ji seemed to feel that the atmosphere was not right, and hurriedly interjected: "Senior Brother, why are you angry? Junior Sister Gu must have other intentions..."

Before Shi Ji finished speaking, Gu Qing interrupted her, and there was a hint of coldness in his indifferent voice: "Senior Brother Chu Han, what you said just now will not be too late until you take charge of the Yunzhongju sect! "

"You!..." Chu Han was speechless for a moment.

Old Man Tianhai snorted loudly and stepped into the main hall.

When Gu Qing, Chu Han and Shi Ji saw Tianhai arriving, they all saluted and greeted him. Gu Qing remained indifferent, Shi Ji always smiled lightly, unable to see clearly what was on his mind, and Chu Han looked slightly happy.

Old Tianhai sat down in the middle, staring at Gu Qing with real eyes. He was silent and his face was like thunder. After staring at a stick of incense like this, Old Tianhai said slowly: "You three Have you been staying at that place where Ji Ruochen lives all day?"

"yes."

"Did you ask Master Ziyang for a reference to the Daodezong Canon?"

"yes."

"Then tell me, what have you read in the past three days?"

"I'm short of time, but I just read a few articles of Sanqingzhenjue and Taiqingjue."

"Three Pure Secrets?!"

Old Man Tianhai gave a loud shout and slapped the iron-core wood-carved turtle chair under his seat hard! The palm fell silently, but the seat, which was impervious to water and fire and stronger than fine steel, disappeared without a trace. It's like it has never appeared in the world before.

The few strands of old man Tianhai's hair were dancing in the wind, and he said word by word: "I have countless secrets in the clouds. Which part of Xuanhuang Baolu is worse than the Three Pure Secrets? Do you want to read the Taoist sect's collection? Do you know that people Master Ziyang takes this as an offer today and has already proposed marriage to me!!"

When Shi Ji heard this, he couldn't help but cover his lips and let out a soft cry. Chu Han's expression also changed in an instant.

Gu Qing smiled lightly and said, "Then agree."

A rustling sound, like the sound of nibbling leaves in spring, passed by, and the glorious three-story main building of Shuixie Pavilion suddenly turned into pieces of fine sand, drifting away with the night wind, leaving nothing behind, not even the sapphire floor and basalt foundation. All of them disappeared completely. For a while, only a large pit more than two feet deep was left in the center of the Waterside Pavilion.

The old man Tianhai was sitting in the air, still maintaining the posture of clapping his hands downwards. Gu Qing, on the other hand, stood with his hands behind his hands in the air, facing each other calmly, his plain clothes as clean as dust and spotless.

After a long, long time, the old man Tianhai exhaled a breath of turbid air. This breath roared like thunder in the middle of the night: "Although I can't control you, I can still take you back to the mountain. I will tell Master Ziyang early tomorrow morning. Say goodbye and set off back to the mountain in the afternoon!"

In the early morning of the next day, Ji Ruochen, who was worried, watched Gu Qing walk into the courtyard with the first ray of morning light as he had done in the past three days.

The feeling of these three days is really hard to describe and cannot be explained.

On the first day, Ji Ruochen still subconsciously didn't dare to look at Gu Qing, maybe because of her enigma, or maybe because of her penetrating gaze.

After he finally overcame this problem and was able to look face to face with Gu Qing, he was able to discover Gu Qing's majestic appearance. It's just that she was too majestic, so majestic that it was as if there was a universe in her chest. In her In front of him, Ji Ruochen only wanted to shrink back, not feeling surprised at all.

During the past three days, Gu Qingzhen accompanied him to study hard and study the true meaning of the Great Dao. Ji Ruochen knew that she was similar in age, but whether it was astrology, divination, alchemy talismans, or immortal legends, mysterious and mysterious When Ji Ruochen was drawing talisman or sitting quietly for a while, Gu Qing would occasionally tidy up Ji Ruochen's place, and he would see Ji Ruochen's behavior. Terrified.

Ji Ruochen was not afraid that Gu Qing would discover any secrets when he was tidying up the room. Since she knew that she had the Dissociation Art, what other secrets could she not know? He just really didn't know why Gu Qing would condescend to him. , tidy up the room for him.

Seriously speaking, her relationship with Gu Qing was just a casual encounter at first, so her actions were even more puzzling. Thinking of the possible meaning behind these actions, even Ji Ruochen himself found it incredible and impossible.

When he first heard from Gu Qing that Master Ziyang allowed her to check the scriptures, Ji Ruochen was still suspicious. Firstly, the real people were playing chess with Old Man Tianhai at that time, and he could not find Master Ziyang. Secondly, Gu Qing followed the promise the next day. When she came to the door, there were already three ancient scrolls in her arms, namely Taiqing Sage, Gaosheng, and Taisheng Three Scriptures. These three scriptures can only be obtained from the Scripture Collection Hall. Only then did Ji Ruochen know that she could indeed read them at will. Sutras, including the Three Pure Secrets.

During these three days, Ji Ruochen gained nothing from his Taoist practice. Every night at midnight, he would sit quietly and meditate. When he meditated and fell into concentration, Gu Qing would quietly leave and meet the first ray of morning light the next day. Arrive. But even if she has left, Ji Ruochen always feels that those clear eyes are watching him, so how can he calm down? Naturally, there is no progress in Tao Xing.

In the early morning of the fourth day, Gu Qingyi walked into the room as if he were entering his own courtyard, walked directly into the study room, and sat down on the main seat behind the desk. Ji Ruochen smiled awkwardly, and had to sit in the same room as he had done the previous few days. I sat down in the guest seat with trepidation.

Gu Qing came from the sky like a dragon, and as soon as he appeared on the scene, he caught the clue that he possessed the Immortal Dissociation Technique. From now on, whether she wanted wind or rain, how could Ji Ruochen not obey?

Gu Qing stared at Ji Ruochen and remained silent. Ji Ruochen was used to being stared at by her and could bear it, but under that clear water gaze, he seemed to be unable to keep any secrets. In fact, this feeling was still... Unspeakably uncomfortable.

"Brother Ruochen, can you let me see your hands?"

Facing the snow-like slender hand that Gu Qing stretched out in front of him, Ji Ruochen couldn't help but be stunned. He hesitated for a moment, even though he thought it was extremely ridiculous. In this situation, he should have changed roles with Gu Qing. But Ji Ruochen knew that he was different.

Having no choice, he still had to raise his right hand and place it in Gu Qing's snow-white palm.

The two hands were gently placed together.

Gu Qing pondered for a moment and then said: "Brother Ruochen, we have only met for a short time, and it's time to say goodbye. As soon as noon passes today, I will go back to my home in the clouds."

Ji Ruochen was immediately relieved and let out a sigh of relief.

Gu Qing couldn't help but smile softly, which instantly made Ji Ruochen's eyes light up.

She turned her slender hand, patted the back of Ji Ruochen's hand gently, and said softly: "Brother Ruochen, in today's world, the industry is in chaos, and you and I are facing extremely severe calamities. I see that your determination is as strong as steel.

You know how to be patient and perseverant, and your hands are full of blood and murderous intent. It is not difficult to kill with force, but if you want to survive the disaster in this life, it is not enough. You are gentle and patient, but you are not strong and courageous.

Ruochen, you are a dignified man of seven feet, you can't just think about forbearance and conspiracy all the time, you should be a brave man with ten battles and ten battles!"

Ji Ruochen was startled when he heard the words. All the past events suddenly came to his mind at the same time. He saw Gu Qing's gentle demeanor for the first time. For a moment, he only felt a roar in his ears. His thoughts were confused and he could no longer think clearly.

Gu Qing sighed softly, patted Ji Ruochen's hand, stood up, spread out the paper and studied ink in front of the desk, and wrote a new word in an instant. Look at the handwriting, silver hooks and iron strokes, with the edge hidden,

It has the implicit meaning of embracing heaven and earth.
