Xiao Hanxue sat down cross-legged at the tip of the "crescent moon" at one end of the soulless stone.
The chess piece on the stone was the unfinished chess piece played by Xiao Hanxue and Moon God before leaving the royal city.
At that time Luna was sitting at the other end.
The moon god held a chess piece and finally placed it not on the chess board, but in a black chess jar.
She said to Xiao Hanxue: When you return to the royal city, we will continue.
At that time, Xiao Hanxue also put the white chess piece in his hand into the chess jar and nodded.
At this moment, Xiao Hanxue stared at the unfinished chess game. Every chess piece on the chess board has not changed and is still the same. The chess game has also entered the final stage. The black and white chess pieces on the board are intertwined. In the end, who can win one move and win the game?
This game of chess is still unknown.
Xiao Hanxue remembered that when he was in Dayu, the Moon God asked the Dream Messenger to give him a message: Every chess piece on the chessboard, no matter what the opening, middle, and endgame it experiences, must eventually return to its original position. This is a
The constant cycle of reincarnation.
Xiao Hanxue understood the implication of these words: this is his destiny.
So he returned to the royal city.
Sitting here again.
But he was not willing to surrender to his fate.
Staring at the chess game, Xiao Hanxue's handsome face twitched twice, and then a warm smile broke out on his face, seeming to melt the cold snow around him.
Xiao Hanxue said to herself: Others are my chess pieces, but I am her chess piece. My life and my life have been in her hands from the beginning. My life is up to her, not me? My life is up to me, not her?
Xiao Hanxue sat on the soulless stone and looked at the chess game. He sat there for three whole hours like a man who had lost his soul. The wind and snow kept beating on him, making him look like a snowman in the end.
He remained motionless, like an old monk in trance, like he had lost his soul.
Finally, Xiao Hanxue picked up a white piece from the chess jar and placed it on a position on the chessboard.
His eyes were shining like diamonds, and he murmured to himself: No matter whether the pieces are black or white, the whole plate will be shattered!
…
One night twenty days later, it snowed.
Xiao Hanxue, the Demon Lord, the Two-Headed Demon Saint, and Youyou Painter stood in front of the temple.
Tonight is the day when the Moon God comes out of seclusion.
The Moon God will emerge from the Shenyue Temple on the top of the mountain and enter the temple below.
The four of them looked at the cold and tall temple in front of them.
There are eight giant pillars in the temple, and under each pillar stand two armored warriors holding moon-shaped halberds. These armored warriors are all tall and powerful. They stand still like stone statues.
As if they were real sculptures.
In the middle of the eight stone pillars is a tall and heavy iron door.
The two iron doors are engraved with a half-moon pattern.
The iron doors are open, and each door is a half-moon.
When the iron gate is closed, a complete moon is formed.
This moon is as big as the Eight Immortals Table, and it shines with moonlight. I don’t know what kind of material it is made of.
It gives people a feeling that is both sacred and mysterious.
Xiao Hanxue and the four of them stood at the foot of the steps in front of the temple. Snowflakes continued to fall on the four of them, and their bodies slowly turned white.
Because they were defeated miserably in Dayu, at this moment, they are like four sinners, waiting for the fate of the moon god.
After an unknown amount of time, the heavy iron door creaked open, and Lord Qingyue walked out of the door.
Lord Qingyue looked at the four people standing under the steps, and he said: "The Moon God has returned to the temple, and I have reported the truth to the Moon God. The Moon God was shocked. Now the Moon God summoned the Youyou Painter and the Two-Headed Demon Saint.
Please come into the palace, both of you."
Summoning the two of them first made both Youyou Painter and the Two-Headed Demon a little surprised.
The two were stunned for a moment, then climbed up the stairs.
After climbing more than a dozen steps, the two arrived at the entrance of the temple. A warrior with glowing white eyes signaled to the two of them, and the Youyou Painter and the Two-Headed Demon Saint took off their weapons and handed them to the warrior.
This is a temple rule and no weapons are allowed into the temple.
You must disband your troops and enter the palace.
This warrior with glowing white eyes has a strange ability. He can use his supernatural powers to sense who is carrying a weapon.
After handing over their weapons, the Youyou Painter and the Two-Headed Demon Saint entered the temple.
Lord Qingyue also returned to the temple, and the two iron doors glowing with moonlight slowly closed again.
The Demon Lord glanced at Xiao Hanxue and wondered: "Why didn't the Moon God summon you and me first? Who do they think they are?"
Xiao Hanxue whispered: "The Moon God summoned them first and asked them to report what happened in Dayu in detail. This way the Moon God can also make a guess about what happened."
The Demon Lord said: "Don't we both have mouths? We must let those two idiots do the talking!"
Xiao Hanxue whispered: "Perhaps the Moon God thinks that what they said is more credible than what we said."
After hearing this, the Demon Lord suddenly became angry and said: "Damn it, I can't trust us..."
As soon as the Demon Lord finished saying this, he immediately raised his hand to cover his mouth, because his words were irreverent. The Demon Lord glanced at the armored warriors standing under the giant pillar, and he lowered his voice even louder.
He said in a low voice: "Hanxue, do you think those idiots heard what I said?"
Xiao Hanxue whispered: "No. Don't talk anymore. Do everything as I say."
The devil just shut his mouth and stopped talking.
Xiao Hanxue and Demon Lord stood there like wooden piles, waiting for the moon god to summon them. The two suddenly felt that time passed so slowly. They stopped talking and occasionally communicated with their eyes.
After an unknown amount of time, the iron door opened again, and the Youyou Painter and the Two-Headed Demon Saint walked out of the temple.
The warrior handed the weapon back to the two of them, and they walked down the stone steps and arrived in front of Xiao Hanxue and the Demon Lord.
The pink head among the two-headed demon saint said: "The Moon God has finished asking us questions and has not punished us. Damn, I can finally sleep peacefully. Let's leave first. I wish you both good luck."
The Two-Headed Demon Saint and the Youyou Painter left first.
At this time, Lord Qingyue came out of the iron gate and said: "The Moon God summoned the Demon Lord."
Xiao Hanxue and the Demon Lord looked at each other, and then the two of them walked up the stone steps. When they arrived at the entrance of the temple, the warrior with white eyes motioned to the Demon Lord to hand over his weapon.
The Demon Lord took out the Moon Halberd and a short sword from his shirt and handed them to the warrior.
Xiao Hanxue has no weapons on her, so there is no need to go to such trouble.
Then Lord Qingyue led the two of them into the temple.
The temple is very large, with two blue flames burning on the two stone pillars in front of it, giving the temple an eerie and eerie atmosphere.
There are also several tall stone statues standing on both sides of the temple, each of which is two feet high and lifelike.
Lord Qingyue led the two of them through the main hall and to the inner hall.
In front of the stone door of the inner hall, stood an armored warrior.
His body is taller and more powerful. This warrior looks like he is in his forties. His skin is black and shiny. His nose is big, like a big tumor. His lips are very thick, like two sausages.
crowded together.
His eyes were as dark and cold as a temple.
This warrior is extraordinary. He is the leader of the Moon Guard. He is cruel and terrifying, and is called the Dark Lord by the people in Blood Moon City.
The Dark Lord glanced at Xiao Hanxue and the Demon Lord expressionlessly, then he stretched out his arm and pushed open the stone door of the inner hall.
His arms are as thick as the Demon King's thighs.
Xiao Hanxue and Demon Lord walked in.
Lord Qingyue didn't go in, he stayed outside the door.
