It is a pity that there are not many good chess players in the entire Taixuan Capital. Most of the time, this great scholar who was once the director of the Imperial College can only entertain himself by playing left and right.

There was a guest in his house today, and it was Li Shen who was very close to him.

Li Shen frowned and looked at the flying elephant crossing the river on the chessboard, wondering what the meaning of studying the endgame was.

"It's not as cold as one day's freezing.

As early as the last spiritual tide, the sea dragons of the five directions had already begun to sacrifice blood to living beings.

It's just that... at that time, the sea dragons in the five directions did suffer heavy casualties due to the spiritual tide conflict. After the Holy Lord spoke harshly several times, those clues disappeared.

But I never thought that blood sacrifices would have already come back."

Li Shen frowned, his eyes full of disgust.

This great Confucian who was proficient in running script was just like his words, free and unrestrained but also tough.

Lu Jing returned to Xuandu from Hezhongdao, Aojiuyi in the East China Sea, Fengzhu in the South China Sea, and the head of the family in Hezhongdao went to court to question Lu Jing, and Li Shen's words directly targeted the head of the family.

Ji Yuanzhi sighed and deliberately moved the "general" on the chessboard one step forward.

The hardness in Li Shen's eyes suddenly melted away, and he let out a long sigh.

"The battle for the spiritual tide... I don't know how many people's energy has been sapped."

"General, the handsome spirit is not so easy to wear away.

It's just that their sharpness has changed." Ji Yuanzhi raised his head and mentioned Lu Jing again, his tone full of curiosity.

"Speaking of which, Taichong Longjun went to Qingyun Street to meet Lu Jing, but Lu Jing stayed behind closed doors... This was a bit beyond my expectation.

He cultivated a fearless sword and a body that would rather break than bend... When he was weak, he was unwilling to surrender in the face of certain death. How come now that he has become the Duke of the country, he has become timid and even dared not see Taichong?

A glance at Mr. Long?"

Li Shen didn't think it was surprising.

"Lu Jing has cultivated the Fearless Sword Spirit. He has a rich and unparalleled foundation and an unyielding spirit. However... he is not an impulsive person. There is an Eighth Level Heavenly Dragon in front of him. Since he can't defeat him, why bother to take that beating?

?”

"Taichong Longjun doesn't dare to kill Duke Jing, but he can teach Duke Jing a lesson. It's not difficult to do given his cultivation level.

It's a pity that Dafu now needs such an Eighth Realm Heavenly Dragon."

When Li Shen said this, he gritted his teeth again, his eyes extremely dissatisfied.

Ji Yuanzhi finally looked away from the chess game, looked at Li Shen and said with a smile: "You are a prodigy in reading, and your understanding of knowledge is beyond my reach.

Because I am older, people in the world always rank my name before yours.

But I know that when it comes to knowledge, I am not as good as you."

"If you can go one step further and cultivate your soul with knowledge, and wait until the spiritual tide comes, and make your soul open its eyes with a single thought, then there will not be at least one less sage in this world, but there will be one more great scholar who truly speaks the Constitution of Heaven.

.”

"For an old man like me, I can only say that my vision is more vicious than yours."

Li Shen was a little puzzled.

Ji Yuanzhi said with a smile: "Since Lu Jing dared to do that trick on the ground, he would never dare to see him in Taixuanjing because he is afraid of Lord Taichong Long."

"When autumn comes on September 8th, I will kill hundreds of flowers after they bloom!"

"Lu Jing has the courage to kill all the flowers after they bloom like me, so how can he hide behind closed doors and see an old celestial dragon?"

Li Shen was puzzled: "If Lu Jing is not afraid, why does he stay behind closed doors?"

At this moment, three more guests came to Ji Yuanzhi's mansion, which could not be called luxurious.

The three guests are each different.

Among them, the one walking at the front was a man holding two chess pieces in his hands. He was not tall but had a very upright face.

"Sui Han, the two famous swords of Song and Bai, Yu Bai's family?"

When Li Shen saw the visitor, he stood up in a hurry, with a sincere smile on his face.

He had always liked Zhong Yubai, the governor of Anhuai Kingdom, but he was finally not appointed by the Holy King and went to the Northwest Road. In the blink of an eye, it had been more than a year.

But he didn't expect to see Zhong Yubai in Ji Yuanzhi's house today.

There are two other people behind Zhong Yubai.

Although one of them, Li Shen, could not be called familiar to him, he had met him a few times.

"Chu Shenchou has met Yuan Zhi and Shen, two great scholars."

On Chu Shenchou's wrist, a heavenly wheel was not tightly attached to his wrist, but was slowly rotating.

"Chu Daxiu." Li Shen also saluted Chu Shenchou.

Ji Yuanzhi stood up with difficulty. Even though he was old, he still adhered to etiquette and saluted the three of them.

When his eyes fell on the third person behind Zhong Yubai, his eyes suddenly changed.

His pupils were condensed and he looked at the man deeply.

Li Shen naturally noticed the clues and asked Zhong Yubai seemingly casually: "I wonder who this person is?"

Zhong Yubai smiled and said: "The saying of my little friend who has forgotten his age has been spread all over the world."

"Of course there are people in the world who will kill me after the flowers bloom. The three of us will go back to Taixuan Capital, just like Lu Jing, and wait for the immortals from heaven to come and wear those golden armors."

Li Shen was a little puzzled: "Brother Yu Bai is a member of the court..."

Zhong Yubai smiled and said nothing.

Li Shen suddenly opened his eyes wide and thought of a possibility.

Chu Shenchou on the side said: "Brother Yu Bai has been in charge of the Northwest Road for one year. Although the Northwest Road is still poor and in short supply of food, the demons in it have been eliminated... After removing the position, there should be no big troubles in the Northwest Road.

storm."

"Brother Yu Bai really resigned from office?"

Li Shen stood there, and after a long time, he finally sighed and bowed deeply to Zhong Yubai.

"Now the three of us here, all of whom have no positions, are just in time to take a look at the majesty of the West Tower with Lu Jing."

Zhong Yubai laughed loudly.

Li Shen on the side reacted immediately. He glanced behind Zhong Yubai again and said, "Brother Yu Bai returned to Xuandu and didn't go to see Duke Jing?"

Zhong Yubai frowned and shook his head: "I went to Kongshan Lane, but Lu Jing was not in that courtyard. I searched several places, but there was no trace of him.

I have no choice but to come to brother Yuan's house as a guest for the time being."

Until this moment, Ji Yuanzhi seemed to have realized something. He raised his head and looked at the rolling mountains outside Taixuan Jing.

There are mountains at the end of the mountains.

"Speaking of which, last night, not far from the South China Sea, a faint light suddenly lit up."

"It's just that the glimmer of light stopped suddenly...it seemed to have been intentionally covered up."

"I just wonder if that glimmer of light has anything to do with Lu Jing?"

Zhong Yubai was puzzled: "How does the South China Sea... have anything to do with Lu Jing?"

Li Shen smiled bitterly: "Brother Yu Bai just arrived in Xuandu. I don't think I know the recent turmoil in Xuandu."
