"Aren't you from the Nangong family?" When the old woman heard this, her eyes immediately showed horror, and she asked: "Where is Nangong Xiong?"
"It seems that the current situation is that you should answer our questions!" Li Yufei said with a chuckle.
"I am imprisoned here, who do you think I am? Besides being the mortal enemy of the Nangong family, what other identity do I have?" the old woman replied.
"Dead enemy?" Lin Haoming asked doubtfully.
"I have been locked up here for more than a thousand years. It is estimated that no one remembers me anymore. Even if I say my name, will you know it?" The old woman asked self-deprecatingly.
"Since we are mortal enemies, why are we just locking you up? And it seems like you are living a pretty good life!" Lin Haoming asked strangely.
"That's because Nangong Bo and Nangong Xiong want to get the same important treasure from me!" the old woman said disdainfully.
"What important treasure?" Li Yufei asked.
"If you let me out, I will give this treasure to you. After all, I don't have much life left, so it is useless to keep it. As long as you agree to me a condition by then!" the old woman sighed.
road.
"I don't know what the conditions are?" Lin Haoming asked.
"This... I want to find some of my descendants. I don't know where they are, so you may need to run around. As long as you can fulfill my wish, I can do what Nangong Xiong and Nangong Bo can't get.
Here you go!" said the old woman.
"Senior, do you like to play chess?" Lin Haoming asked, looking at the chessboard in front of her.
"I have nothing to do. If I don't find something to talk about, I'm afraid I will go crazy after so many years!" the old woman sighed.
"I also like playing chess. I wonder if I can play a game?" Lin Haoming said and sat down directly.
"Huh?" The old woman was a little surprised to see Lin Haoming behave like this.
"Don't worry, there is no one else here!" Li Yufei didn't know why Lin Haoming did this, but since he did it, there must be a reason for it, so he also explained aloud.
"Okay then!" The old woman hesitated but agreed.
"It's up to the host as you wish, senior, please invite me first!" Lin Haoming said, cleaning up the chessboard on the table.
"Okay, then I'll make the move first!" The old woman looked at Lin Haoming, then picked up a chess piece and placed it on the chessboard.
Lin Haoming was also able to quickly pick up the chess pieces and put them down. The two of them moved quickly, and it didn't take long for them to complete the layout and enter the middle game.
As the chess game progressed, the wrinkles on the old woman's already wrinkled brows became deeper. It was obvious that she was in a disadvantageous situation during the chess game.
This went on for a while, and the old woman finally sighed and said: "Sure enough, you are better than the old. You, a junior, are indeed extraordinary in chess skills!"
"Senior is joking, how about we play another round? This time I will give you four stars. If senior wins, I will let him go immediately!" Lin Haoming said.
"This..." The old woman was stunned for a moment, not knowing what the other party meant.
Lin Haoming didn't wait for the old woman to say anything, and directly placed four chess pieces on the four corners of the chessboard, and then he also made a move.
Seeing Lin Haoming like this, the old woman took back what she wanted to say and then faced the game again.
As the chess game progressed, the old woman who originally had the advantage due to the handicap soon found that her advantage was gradually losing, and her frown deepened. By the middle game, the situation was evenly matched, and by the end of the game, the old woman had obviously already lost her advantage.
No more support.
"This is the first time in my life that I've seen such a powerful chess player like you, a junior. I'm afraid that even if I give you five pieces, I may not be able to beat you!" The old woman put down her chess pieces, wiped the sweat from her forehead, and admitted defeat.
Lin Haoming also put down the chess pieces, and then smiled and said: "Twenty years ago, I met a Xuanxiu from Beilong Kingdom. He was obsessed with chess. We also met on the chessboard. After playing a few games, he
I take him as a close friend and he values me very highly."
"Playing chess to make friends is a beautiful story in the world!" the old woman said with a smile.
Lin Haoming stood up, shook his head and said: "I was very curious at the time, because to him, I was an outsider, a stranger. Why did he believe in me so much? He told me that humanity can be seen between the chessboards.
When you play chess with me, you lose more than you win, but when I play chess, most of them are fair and honest. Even if there are traps, most of them are conspiracy, so I am willing to have a heart-to-heart relationship with me. Although my old friend has passed away, his words are still fresh in my memory.
, After talking to people, I found that character and chess strategy are connected."
"Junior, what do you mean by this?" When the old woman heard this, her face became a little ugly.
Lin Haoming smiled calmly and said: "You wanted to let me go in the first game. You found that my chess skills were not low, so you stopped trying. But in the end, I lost. I set the premise in the second game, but you responded with all your strength. The chess moves were all over the place."
The traps are dangerous every step of the way, which shows that you are definitely not a kind person. If you said you wanted to repay me, at least I can't believe you!"
"How could you, a junior like you, say this from just two games of chess!" After hearing this, the old woman was angry and anxious, but she was not in a position to fall out with Lin Haoming.
Lin Haoming smiled and said: "Those people outside were arrested and tortured to a state of disgrace. But before, we found a room with a lot of zombie flowers placed in it. What is the fertilizer of corpse flowers? I think you are better than me."
It is clear that many of those people outside are used to test medicines. When they die, they become fertilizers for the corpse demon flowers. The techniques Nangong Xiong practices are very weird. At first, I thought that those corpse demon flowers were completely prepared for himself.
, but when we searched here, we didn’t find anything like elixirs refined from Corpse Demon Flowers. And there are so many Corpse Demon Flowers that it’s absolutely impossible not to have even a little bit of them. When I play chess with you,
, I thought of a possibility, that is, those pills are not only used by Nangong Xiong, but more likely for you. It is not Nangong Xiong who imprisons you when you are locked here, but you who imprison yourself. "
"What nonsense are you talking about? Why should I imprison myself?" The old woman became more and more excited after hearing this.
Lin Haoming sneered: "Because you have a problem, or once you are released, you may not be able to control yourself. Otherwise, you can cut your own finger and take two drops of blood to see."
"I was also experimented with drugs by Nangong Xiong. Everything I said before is true!" the old woman screamed.
Seeing how excited Lin Haoming was, a stern look flashed in his eyes. Without saying a word, he raised his hand and a bolt of lightning flashed instantly. A thunderbolt struck the old woman's neck. He actually used the thunder sword to cut off the old woman's head.
Seeing the old woman's head rolling down, and at the same time a corpse aura emanating from the old woman's body, Lin Haoming and Li Yufei immediately released their mysterious energy to protect their bodies to avoid problems. The poisonous aura emitting from the old woman's body was indeed exactly the same as Nangong Xiong's before.
