On the martial arts field, the trials of the inner disciples are in full swing.
Yi Xifeng was like chopping melons and vegetables, kicking an outer sect disciple with one kick, which was more than twice as fast as He Bu Chi. There was no way, the realm was too high, there was no suspense.
Soon, the top five were revealed. As for the last battle between Yi Xifeng and He Buchi, He Buchi was completely defeated.
As soon as he started to use his inner energy, Yi Xifeng caught his arm in a sneak attack. Then he lost without even drawing out his sword, which really shocked the group of inner disciples in the audience.
"Depend on!"
"Miscalculation."
"My silver spirit bead is my five years of savings!"
…………
"This inner disciple waist badge is made of good quality."
Yi Xifeng held the inner disciple waist badge of the Zhen Martial Hall in one hand and the waist badge of the Zhen Martial Dao Hall in the other. Surprisingly, the materials of the two were almost the same, but the pattern of the Zhen Martial Dao Hall was more outstanding. Compared with
For Zhenwutang, it is more delicate.
After He Buchi got the waist card, he threw it into a corner of the room without even looking at it.
Li Sansi counted the shining silver beads in the bag with gleaming eyes.
"Three hundred and one, three hundred and two, three hundred and three..."
After a final count, excluding the original 100, a total of 1,200 were "harvested". After dividing the accounts between 37 and 37, it was natural that Yi Xifeng would get the big one, and Li Sansi the small one.
Early the next morning, Yi Xifeng told Li Sansi to practice well, and he himself was going to Zhongyuan Hall to see the hall master.
…………
In the inner hall of Zhongyuan Hall, a boy in a robe hurriedly arrived and said to the study:
"Reporting to the hall master, Li Chengtao asks for an audience."
Then, I heard a voice coming from the door, saying:
"Bring him in."
"yes."
The little boy in Taoist robes left in a hurry, while in the study, the white-haired old man closed his book and silently read:
"Li Xiaoyou, you are finally here."
…………
Yi Xifeng straightened his clothes and slowly stepped into the inner hall of Zhongyuan Hall. The appearance here was still the same as a year ago. The only difference was that the evergreen trees in the courtyard were more withered and yellow than before.
"Maybe it has something to do with the recent weather changes." The fair young man thought.
Under the leadership of the little boy, Yi Xifeng entered the inner hall. In the hall, he saw an old man with white hair sitting cross-legged on a futon, holding black stones, preparing to play chess.
The fair young man was a little confused. He thought that only the elders of the Zhenwu Dao Hall liked to play chess. Why did the master of the Zhenwu Dao Hall also like to play chess? Is it possible that their skills were related to chess?
The white-haired old man didn't see Yi Xifeng's little thoughts, but dropped his sleeves and robe together and motioned for him to sit opposite.
The fair young man originally wanted to salute and greet him, but seeing that Hall Master Lu didn't care, he didn't bother with the red tape.
After Yi Xifeng sat down, the white-haired old man said:
"My friend is looking for the old Taoist, probably for the purpose of jointly fighting against the divine religion."
Yi Xifeng nodded and replied:
"exactly."
The white-haired old man nodded and asked:
"It is certainly a good thing to unite to fight against the divine religion, but if Han Sanli intervenes, wouldn't the alliance collapse at the first touch?"
Yi Xifeng's eyebrows stretched, he smiled calmly and replied:
"Hall Master, don't worry. I have made a decision regarding Han Sanli and he will definitely not take action."
Seeing that he didn't say anything further, the white-haired old man continued to ask:
"Even if he doesn't take action, if he loses, we can accept that everyone will be spared the death penalty but will not escape the punishment alive. But if we win, what can we gain?"
Just when Yi Xifeng was debating whether to tell him or not, Hall Master Lu took a sip of tea and then asked:
"I've asked so many questions before, but I still don't know what the purpose is for my little friend to work so hard to promote our alliance?"
Yi Xifeng frowned. This question involved his own secret. He would not reveal it to others easily. What's more, he didn't know Lu Chengsan well, so he naturally didn't dare to answer rashly.
When Hall Master Lu saw that the fair young man was speechless, he knew that the other party was thinking deeply and might not be able to express what was going on. So he changed the topic and returned to the chessboard.
Hall Master Lu picked up a black stone, put it on the chessboard, and asked:
"My friend, can you talk to an experienced player for a round?"
Yi Xifeng came back to his senses immediately and no longer thought about the problem. He first looked at the chess cup at hand, and then said:
"Um... Hall Master, I can't play chess. Can we try some other entertainment?"
The white-haired old man stroked his beard and laughed, and replied:
"My little friend's words are quite interesting. It doesn't matter if you don't know chess. You can just move the pieces as you like."
"Uh...okay."
Then, Yi Xifeng picked up a white piece and dropped it casually.
The white-haired old man was quite calm, following the chess game little by little. Then Yi Xifeng made another move, and the white-haired old man made another move. The sound of "pop" could be heard in the field. Soon, the white-haired old man made another move.
Then he killed Yi Xifeng and turned his back on his horse.
"I lost." Seeing that the overall situation on the chessboard was decided, the fair young man put down the white pieces in his hand and threw them back into the chess cup, admitting defeat openly.
The white-haired old man laughed and said:
"My little friend did not lose."
Although Yi Xifeng doesn't know how to play chess, he can still tell the difference between winning and losing. If he loses, he loses.
"But I did lose."
"It's just that the white piece on the chessboard lost. There is no winner or lose between you and me." The white-haired old man put away the chess game and replied calmly.
Yi Xifeng was stunned for a moment. Obviously, he did not understand what the hall master said. At this moment, he was thinking about the inner meaning of this sentence, and he thought to himself:
"He said that the white piece on the chessboard lost, but there was no win or loss between me and him. The chess pieces are chess pieces and the chess player is the chess player. Could he be reminding me that I am the chess player in this overall situation, and
Not a chess piece?"
The fair young man asked in an uncertain tone:
"The hall master means..."
"It is said that there are three major forces in this world. If you ask me to say, there are four major forces."
At this time, except for the four chess pieces on the chessboard, all the rest have been put into the chess cup. The four pieces are divided into three white and one black.
Yi Xifeng didn't know why, so he waited for the hall master to continue speaking.
Hall Master Lu dropped the three white stones in three places, forming a triangle.
"The three parties that understand this chess game are the Divine Sect, the True Martial Hall, and the Loose Cultivators, and the other side is this black piece."
The white-haired old man pinched a black stone with his finger and gently placed it between the triangles.
"The dark one on this side is you, Li Chengtao!"
The fair young man saw that Hall Master Lu valued him so much. Although he felt something in his heart, he sighed again when he said the words and said slowly:
"The hall master praises me too much. I am just a warrior in the Po Feng Realm. How can I be called a fourth-party force? What's more, with this seal suppressing me, I can't move despite my inner strength. With such a famous name,
I’m really ashamed of myself.”
The white-haired old man nodded.
"My dear friend, there is really nothing I can do about this seal issue, but..."
