Chapter 326: Where did the young wife captured by the boss go?
East Desert, Hong Town, suburbs.
In the pavilion, Shen Shu, dressed in a red cassock, was playing chess with branch leader Xue Qing. Both of them were people with powerful cultivation.
But for some reason, Xue Qing looked particularly haggard tonight, with a pair of panda eyes, a pale face, and even the hand holding the chess piece was shaking slightly.
However, Shen Shu, who was playing against him, stared at the chessboard with sharp eyes and was in a very good mental state.
Finally, Xue Qing couldn't bear it anymore. After putting down the last black chess piece, he lost his balance and fell off the stone bench to the ground. He lay on the ground, breathing heavily, as if he hadn't breathed for a whole day and night.
"Master, I, I won't go on any more. I won't go on any more. If I continue, I will really die."
Xue Qing could never have imagined that this small game of Lan Ke chess could contain such great power.
In reality, she is the chess player, and the black pieces on the board are the chess pieces.
But when she really made her move, it changed, everything changed. She became a chess piece, a black piece in the encirclement of the white pieces, unable to move, see, or even breathe.
The only thing she could do was to feel that every time a black piece was eaten by a white piece, her vitality would instantly be reduced by a hundred years.
From last night to tonight, a whole day and night, Xue Qing couldn't remember how many years of her life she had lost. She only knew that if another black piece was eaten, she would really die in this chess game.
terrible!
You know, he is a Mahayana cultivator. As long as he doesn't meet those extremely abnormal and powerful people, he can almost walk sideways in the Nine Realms.
But now, an "ordinary" game of Lan Ke chess could actually cost him his life.
At this time, a very ruthless voice rang out from inside the pavilion.
"Cai Chicken!"
"You can't play chess, but you say you can play a little bit."
"If it weren't for the fact that you and I both work for the Demon King, I would have nailed you to the chessboard long ago."
Xue Qing knelt down and kowtowed upon hearing this, "Thank you, Master, for not killing me!"
"But Master..." She changed the subject and expressed her confusion, "I do know how to play chess a little bit, but I didn't expect that the game of Lan Ke you mentioned was so strange. It actually uses the lifespan of the players as chess pieces. It's totally unheard of."
Shen Shu twisted a white piece, and said with a hint of admiration, "Because Wei Juzheng is not only a scholar, but also a chess master. Even I dare not easily join his chess game."
“Once you enter the game, whether you are a chess piece or a chess player is not something I can decide alone.”
Xue Qing was not sure: "So, this game of Lan Ke was created by him alone?"
Without waiting for Shen Shu to reply, Xue Qing blinked curiously and said, "That's not right. From what you said, Master, this pavilion was built by Wei Juzheng, and this chess game was set up by Wei Juzheng. Wasn't he the previous state teacher of the Southern Dark Territory? Why did he come all the way to the Eastern Wasteland to do such a laborious task?"
"A strenuous thing? Ha!" Shen Shu sneered and smashed the white piece in his hand on Xue Qing's head. Blood immediately flowed out, but Xue Qing did not dare to make any move to stop the bleeding.
Because Shen Shu hadn't finished his words yet. If he moved at this moment, not only would he not be able to stop the bleeding, he would also lose his life.
Shen Shu stood up from the stone bench and looked down at the entire chessboard. After he and Xue Qing both put down their chess pieces, the "Lan Ke chess game" returned to its original state.
Looking at the intricate black and white pieces on the chessboard, at this moment, Shen Shu's eyes seemed to be filled with a black dragon and a white tiger fighting and biting each other, "He would never do such a meaningless thing."
Xue Qing asked curiously, "What exactly does he mean by this?"
She is the branch leader of Donghuang, not the branch leader of Nanming Territory, so she cannot understand some of the higher-level things in Nanming Territory.
Shen Shu glanced at Xue Qing, whose face was covered in blood, and asked, "You have been playing chess for a whole day and night, didn't you realize that this game is..."
"It's incomplete, or rather, it's not finished." Xue Qing added promptly.
After all, he is a Mahayana monk, so it is impossible that he is not smart.
Shen Shu nodded and said with a smile: "Yes, Mr. Xue is quite intelligent. Stop the bleeding. If the blood drips onto the ground, the pavilion will be stained and I will have to clean it up."
Xue Qing quickly wiped the blood off his face and said with a flattering smile: "Thank you for the compliment, Master Shenshu."
"Then Master, since the game of chess has not been completed, and Wei Juzheng has built a pavilion here, he is waiting for someone to finish the game, right?"
Shen Shu's smile deepened: "Not bad, not bad, very good! It's a pity that Mr. Xue didn't come to our Great Leiyin Temple."
Xue Qing blinked and guessed, "Is he waiting for you, Master?"
This was the first time that Xue Qing, the intelligence chief of Donghuang, had heard of such a strange chess game. Now, hearing Shen Shu's tone, it seemed that he knew everything clearly, so Xue Qing naturally had this guess.
Shen Shu shook his head, "No."
Xue Qing was surprised and asked, "It's not you, Master. Then who is the person that Wei Juzheng is waiting for?"
Xue Qing knew that although Wei Juzheng was not very famous in the Eastern Wilderness, he was the number one person in the Southern Dark Territory five hundred years ago. It was so terrifying that he could make the number one person wait!
At this moment, the sound of frogs suddenly rang out outside the pavilion.
"Quack! (Monk, why don't you go to the town to cause trouble instead of coming here to play chess?)"
Xue Qing looked in the direction of the sound, and saw a four-legged golden toad as big as three... no, a small hill, lying there a hundred meters away from the pavilion.
Xue Qing knew a little about this four-legged golden toad. Shenshu told her that it was the river god of the Cangli River and also the patron saint of Hong Town.
Shen Shu looked at the four-legged golden toad that kept sticking out its tongue, and asked with a smile, "Why is King Cangli not staying in your Dragon Palace but coming here? Could it be that you know that I am itching to play chess with you?"
"I can't play, but my boss is very good. When my boss comes back, I will let him accompany you to play enough."
The four-legged golden toad stuck out its big tongue and croaked twice: "Quack~ I came here to look for someone."
"Monk, I see that you seem to have been here for a few days. I want to ask you, have you seen a little mermaid running over here?"
(I have searched the big river in Yaowang Valley and found nothing.)
(Now the only thing left is the Mountain Range of Ten Thousand Beasts, but there are two of my mortal enemies here, so it’s not easy to search.)
(Looking at the appearance of this dead monk, he has probably been here for several days. It would be better to ask him and save some time.)
