Chapter 31 Chess Game
The situation has just opened up.
The audience was stunned.
After a moment of silence, one after another burst into cries: "Impossible!"
"Isn't he cheating?"
"But Jing Ling judged that he succeeded, and there must be nothing wrong."
"Just now when Xia Churan fell asleep, the picture was still, right? Could it be that the sky screen made a mistake, and the picture of the cracking process was not displayed?"
#夏初染 Which method is used to complete the problem against the sky? #Became a hot topic and pinned to the top.
Everyone was so curious that they scratched their hearts and livers, but they couldn't understand it.
"I don't believe there is anyone in this world who can open more than 400 compass arrays like Bai Xuan!"
"But obviously there wasn't even a disk just now! What method did he use, I'm so curious!"
"Is there any other way to solve the question just now?"
"Big brother relied on heaven-defying mental power to crack it violently. Maybe Xia Churan has other methods? When he comes out, you must ask him face to face!"
In the Xianmeng battle room, the World Honored One raised his eyebrows, "Do you know what method the kid used?"
The heads of the immortals could not tell whether the World Honored One's sentence was an interrogative sentence or a rhetorical question, so they all lowered their heads and dared not answer.
Besides, this is really hard to see!
Lu Zun has been thinking about it since just now, but he still shook his head, "I really can't think of a better way to decipher the directions of the stars except the compass."
"Of course, the compass array is used, but the number is not enough, but the speed of time can be used."
Hearing the words, the heads of the immortals thought of Xia Churan who had been sleeping all the time just now, and suddenly realized.
"However, the child didn't use any external force, he woke up by himself, and the timing of waking up was exactly." Lu Zun was a little incredulous, "Even I can't do it."
The World Honored One hummed, "There is something on that child."
Someone gasped and drank tea calmly, thinking what kind of monsters are the people of Wanxiang sect?Being able to come and go freely in the deep consciousness, you can rely on the difference in time flow to practice in the sea of consciousness, and the entry speed is much faster than others.
It's no wonder that the boy who can crush Qi Yuan who is in the Nascent Soul Realm with his Jindan cultivation base, is afraid that he will be the next "World Honored One" in the future.
When will the era when the Wanxiang Sect overwhelmingly dominates the Immortal League will be the end? -TAT——
Inside the Tianji Pagoda.
Xinghe disappeared, and in front of Qiu Wanxuan was an antique chess room.
"Congratulations for breaking into the fifth level."
The puppet did not show up, only the sound lingered in the small room.
Qiu Wanxuan was puzzled. Just now the fourth level was a grand universe, but the fifth level suddenly turned into a cramped room. Could there be more difficult questions here?
Mao Qiu lamented, "Based on my imagination, I can't think of any more difficult problem than the one just now. The fourth level is definitely beyond the difficulty limit of Tianji Pagoda."
"I seriously doubt that Jing Ling wanted to confuse you with the question just now, but I didn't expect you to be so perverted, maybe you have given up now."
Qiu Wanxuan shook her head, "Not necessarily."
The strange voice sounded again: "Within the time limit, take 180 pieces to pass the level, black moves first, and four pieces are posted."
"Play chess?" Qiu Wanxuan raised her eyebrows slightly. She was not interested in the previous checkpoints. Even when she challenged more than 400 compass arrays, she just wanted to test her own limit.
Only playing chess aroused his interest.
He happily stepped forward, lifted his clothes and sat down on his knees.
At the same time, since Xin Dao is going through the level independently, and must meet the difficulty of the fifth level, it is probably Jing Ling himself who is playing against him.
No one in the room answered, only a box of white chess appeared in front of him.
Qiu Wanxuan understood that this was for him to guess first, so she casually grabbed a handful of chess pieces and held them in her palm.
Vaguely, he seemed to hear the giggling of the puppet, which was fleeting.
The audience didn't expect to see a level like playing chess in the Tianji Tower, and they were stunned.
Someone was not interested in the chess game, so he said hi, "Playing chess? What's there to see here."
Compared with the visual feast of the first few levels, the chess game looks much more boring.
At this moment, two sunspots appeared in front of Xia Churan in the sky.
"Guess first?" This was said to Jingling, at the same time Xia Churan picked up one and put it on the board, indicating to guess the odd number.
He didn't know how many people passed the fourth level, if it wasn't Jingling, then it was someone who broke through the level.But judging from the difficulty of the fourth level, it would be too casual and easy for them to play against themselves in the fifth level.
I'm afraid that only Jingling who goes into battle in person can meet the difficulty level of the fifth level, he thought.
A black piece suddenly appeared on Qiu Wanxuan's chessboard, he hooked his lower lip, let go of the white piece in his palm, counted the number, and said to the empty seat: "Odd number, you go first."
On the other side, a box of sunspots appeared in front of Xia Churan.
At the same time, a delicate hourglass appeared beside the chessboard, and it began to flow after a few quiet breaths.
The pictures of the two chess rooms are projected on the sky, like mirror images.
The audience was taken aback.
"So that's how it is, Jing Ling asked the two of them to play chess!"
"Do they know it themselves?"
"I'm afraid they thought it was Jing Ling who was playing against them."
"Is it because Jing Ling can't come up with a more difficult game to deal with these two monsters, so they have to let them fight on their own?"
"What's that phrase called? Defeat magic with magic!"
"This coquettish operation is too bad!"
Xia Churan's first chess piece appeared on the other side's chessboard simultaneously.
Guan Ling and Xu Yan had just been sent out when they turned around and saw their chessboard on the sky.
"It's not fair! The last level was so rare and abnormal, and in a blink of an eye they went to play chess!" Guan Ling pouted at Ruzun as he said that, showing aggrieved look, "Master, why am I so unlucky? I can definitely win!"
They came out of the scripture hall, and they are proficient in all kinds of piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. Isn't it easy to play chess with those dull sword repairers?
Xu Yan grinned, "What if you were to play against these two monsters?"
Guan Ling was taken aback.
"Don't forget that neither of them has normal brains, and they calculated the nine-step Qimen Dunjia with their brain power alone," Xu Yan said, showing two fingers, "It's still for two people."
"Don't forget that just now Baixuan summoned more than 400 compass formations to deduce the stars, and Xia Churan didn't even know what method to use to crack them."
"Now it's just a game of chess. Do you know how they can count chess? Can you count against them?"
Guan Ling's face turned pale, his whole body trembled, he pressed Xu Yan's shoulder, and said with a palpitation, "Stop talking."
Xu Yan smiled triumphantly: "No matter what level appears in this tower, it looks so exciting, at least it is evaluated according to your ability, no matter how difficult it is, you can still give it a try. If it is them who are playing chess..."
"There's no need to try." Guan Ling interrupted with a lot of effort.
Ru Zun patted his apprentice's forehead with a smile, "You forgot, the level of the Tianji Tower level is adjusted according to the ability of the contestants. So in this game, the two of them themselves are the level difficulty of this game."
The two of them suddenly felt their hair stand on end with this sentence.
"Hehe." Guan Lingpi smiled, "It's indeed more perverted difficulty than the last round."
The three of them were on the second floor of the post house built by Wanxiangzong. There were crowds of people on the street downstairs outside the railing. Some onlookers exclaimed, "What's there to see about playing chess? I'm not a professional chess player."
"Walking around, I heard that there is a spirit treasure nearby, so it's important to seize the opportunity."
During the discussion, some people started to leave.
In the bustling canyon market, the originally crowded crowd gradually dispersed.
But the picture in the sky suddenly changed.
Just when Xia Churan's first sunspot fell into the star position, the scene changed instantly.
The chess room disappeared, and he was sitting in front of a cliff, but the chess table in front of him hadn't moved, and one step ahead was the abyss.
The abyss is densely covered with fog, and the bottom of the valley cannot be seen clearly. The bright blue aura above the abyss outlines a giant chessboard with a length and width of more than a hundred feet.
And on the opposite side of the abyss, hundreds of feet away, there is also a mountain peak, and a figure is sitting vaguely on the cliff on the top of the peak.
He used the pupil technique to look, and saw that the appearance of the person opposite had been camouflaged. He was wearing a white robe and a white mask.Even the high and broad crown of hair is white.
He looked down at himself, he was dressed in black, he touched his face, and he was also wearing a black mask.
The mask seemed to be cursed, and it couldn't be removed no matter how hard it was.
Likewise, he also wears a black crown.
Jing Ling, what kind of hobby is this?
Just when he was puzzled, the voice of the puppet reminded him: "You need to drive the chess pieces with spiritual power, otherwise the chess pieces will be invalid."
He pondered for a while trying to understand this sentence, then pinched the black stone on the chessboard and tried to inject spiritual power.
At this moment, on the giant chessboard cast by the spiritual light in the distance, a black sword-holding shikigami rose from the ground, and even because of its huge size and armor, the sonorous metal impact sound resounded through the valley with the movement .
That shikigami was standing on the star position where the sunspot had landed just now.
Qiu Wanxuan on the opposite side also received the same reminder.
He looked at the shikigami standing on the chessboard above the abyss with interest, "It seems that it is the opponent's chess piece."
Fuqiu yelled, "This Jingling is too interesting! Let me see what your chess piece looks like!"
Qiu Wanxuan nodded, picked up a white piece, and landed on the star position.
I saw a white shadow with a sword raised up from a giant chessboard. Unlike the black shikigami, who is burly and down-to-earth, the white shikigami is suspended, with a wide cloak covering his upper body to cover his body, as if submerged in misty clouds from the knees down. .
When the white shikigami appeared, accompanied by the light but clear sound of hem of clothes, it appeared silent and distant.
The two shikigami are about the same size, and both are more than ten feet tall.
One is wearing armor and dragging a knife to the ground, like a general of Zhonglang.One with silver hair scattered, pointing to the ground like a fairy in the clouds.
The picture in the sky is no longer split into two, but merged into one, playing the picture of a giant chessboard.
"Hey! So handsome!"
The onlookers didn't leave after seeing this, and stopped in place to watch the play.
Xu Yan spread his hands: "What did I say?"
Guan Ling stuck out her tongue, "Jing Ling really has no good intentions."
"I just don't know what the purpose of this chessboard is?"
Ru Zun smiled, took out the fan handle and patted the heads of the two of them one by one, "Use the insight technique to see."
Xu Yan was puzzled, and tapped the center of his eyebrows with two fingers to perform pupil surgery. When he opened his eyes again, the pupils of the pupils turned white.
After seeing the truth of the chessboard, his mouth slowly turned into a circle, "Damn."
"what?"
Guan Ling did the same, and saw that although the huge chessboard in the abyss was composed of auras, each aura was no longer static under the insight technique, but flowed like a river. The two sides extend to the two-person seat on the edge of the cliff.
"Is this chessboard driven by their spiritual power?"
"That's right." Confucianism said: "The more shikigami on the board, the greater the consumption of spiritual power."
"So what?"
Ruzun said quietly: "Those shikigami are all heaven-rank spirit bodies."
"..grass."
From the injection of spiritual power to the first chess piece, the chessboard in front of him is like a bottomless pit, continuously extracting Qiu Wanxuan's already suppressed spiritual power to an extremely low level, and before he counts his moves, the shikigami has already disappeared Flickering, almost gone.
"With your cultivation level during the Qi training period, it's enough to support a shikigami." Fuqiu licked his paw, "What should I do?"
This cannot be compensated by the sword state or spiritual power. Every heavenly spirit body needs a large amount of spiritual power supply. The longer the time, the more difficult the supply will be.
"Jing Ling is forcing you to reveal your true cultivation, so that you can be judged to have violated the rules and kick you out."
Qiu Wanxuan frowned and said, "What good will it do you if I get kicked out?"
Fuqiu froze his paw-licking tongue, and smiled awkwardly: "I'm sorry, sorry, I'm used to the mocking mode, so I won't stop it."
"You have to occupy half of the chessboard to pass the level." Qiu Wanxuan analyzed on her own, "There are dozens of chess pieces that can't do it."
"Dozens of pieces! Do you underestimate your opponent so much?" Maoqiu complained, "Do you think you are playing alone?"
Qiu Wanxuan shrugged, grabbed a handful of white pieces and dropped them into the palm of her hand, "Fifty pieces, no more."
Any more would have to break through the limitations of the Tianji Pagoda's cultivation.
Xia Churan on the opposite side also found the same problem.
"Master!" Qingluan blinked, "I can help you!"
The different fire is the spirit of heaven and earth, and its spiritual power is already abundant, which cannot be measured by human cultivation.
Xia Chu dyed his lower lip, "This test cannot rely solely on spiritual power. If the spiritual power is too abundant, it will trigger the warning line of the Tianji Pagoda. It is judged that the cultivation base is too high, and you will be thrown out directly."
"Ah." Qingluan sighed, "It's so troublesome."
Xia Churan reached into the chess pieces with his fingers and took them out, making a rattling sound, then took out a handful of chess pieces and put them aside, "That's all."
In the picture, the white shikigami flickered on and off, and someone finally discovered the clue.
"It's a heavenly spirit body that needs a lot of spiritual support!"
"Bai Xuan is doomed. He's only in the Qi training period, and his spiritual power has been exhausted with just this one."
Some people lamented that others gloated, "Finally there is a situation that he can't handle."
"But I still want to see him break into the highest level!"
"Hurry up! Go to the exit and wait for someone to snatch."
Hearing the discussion of these people downstairs, Guan Ling and Xu Yan both showed a trace of regret and worry. Yes, Bai Xuan's cultivation level...
Ru Zun blinked when he saw the expressions of the two, raised his eyebrows and pretended to be surprised, and said, "No way, no one really thinks that a guy who can cut mountains and seas with a sword, and whose mental strength is close to that of a god, will be a Qi training period, right? "
These words shocked the pupils of the two disciples beside him.
Guan Ling blankly pointed at the sky, looked at Confucianism and said, "Master, you mean him..."
Confucianism shrugged his shoulders, and said lightly, "Of course it suppresses cultivation."
After the words fell, the white shikigami in the screen no longer flickered, and immediately returned to a stable state.
Then the second white piece followed the black piece and fell into the plate almost without thinking.
Another white shikigami rose immediately.
Crowd: ?
As one piece after another fell to the ground, someone in the Xianmeng viewing room quietly sipped tea, "Finally no suppression?"
"I can't help it. I can't even play chess if I suppress it. I'm out of the game."
"Presumably Jingling also noticed it, and forced him to expose himself."
"The more chess pieces he uses, the longer the time will be. In the end, he will either expose his cultivation or surrender."
"That depends on how far that kid Xia Churan can push him."
"But speaking of it, isn't Xia Churan a Golden Core stage cultivation? He should be the first to surrender, right?"
"What you said seems to be sure that Bai Xuan's cultivation level must be higher than Xia Churan's."
The always silent World Honored One said, "Not only."
"But let's see if he will be expelled from the Tianji Tower."
Lu Zun was surprised, and didn't know which question to ask first, "Can Xia Churan force him to this point?"
That child's cultivation is qualified enough?
"No," another person said, "Bai Xuanxiu is so high?"
High enough to be expelled?
But after thinking about it, with this guy's performance in the previous rounds, no matter how high his cultivation base is, there is nothing surprising, but it is impossible for Jingling to let him into the tower.
The World Honored One shook his head, "I'm afraid this is what Jing Ling wants to know."
On the chessboard, two black shikigami were besieged into dead chess, holding up their knives to resist, while the surrounding white shikigami raised their swords to face each other, and for a while there was the sound of golden swords striking each other on the chessboard.
The white shikigami formed a sword array, several long swords rose from the sky, interweaved into a sword net and strangled away, while the black shikigami met with a horizontal sword.
The huge chessboard became a battlefield, full of spiritual light and smoke and dust.
Finally, the black shikigami was outnumbered, pierced by several sword lights, and then split into pieces and dissipated.
At the same time, the two sunspots on the chessboard of the two also disappeared without a trace.
Looking at the sky above the abyss, where the black and white shikigami are facing each other, the sound of golden swords can be heard from time to time, and chess pieces from both sides are wiped out one after another from time to time, fighting and fighting emerge in endlessly.
The audience did not expect to see the atmosphere of the battlefield after watching a game of chess, tense and exciting.So those people who were clamoring for the opportunity to grab the Lingbao did not leave, and stopped to watch.
Guan Ling chuckled, "You can always trust the methods of Tianji Pagoda Jingling to attract the audience."
Xu Yan also watched with great interest, "But it's really beautiful. Compared with the battlefield, I can't say that it has nothing to do with it, I can only say that it is exactly the same!"
Confucianism pursed his lips, "You are so busy watching the battle, have you ever noticed how many pieces are on the chessboard?"
Guan Ling was taken aback, and quickly stretched out his fingers to count, and suddenly let out a "hiss—"
Although the numbers are not the same, both of them have more than [-] chess pieces.
"That's not right!" Xu Yan counted again, "It's understandable for Bai Xuan to suppress his cultivation. What's going on with Xia Churan? Isn't he the Golden Core Stage!"
"Golden core can support so many shikigami? And it must have been a stick of incense since the beginning? This is at least a Nascent Soul Realm! Can't this kid just pretend to be in front of us for so long?"
Guan Ling was already numb, and said with a smirk: "Hehe, you can always believe in the unexpectedness of these two monsters."
Someone in the audience noticed this question and became excited, "Are they both hiding it?"
"Bai Xuan is a casual cultivator, but Xia Churan is a member of the Wanxiang sect. I remember that the five sects' grand competition is to test the cultivation level. It is impossible to fake it."
"And when entering the tower, the spirit will also be tested for a round."
"Didn't it happen before? There was a God Transformation Realm coveting the fairy-level rewards of the Tianji Pagoda. They suppressed their cultivation and tried to sneak in. As a result, they were expelled during teleportation before entering the arena. So it is impossible to try to deceive the Transit Spirit. "
They didn't know that Qiu Wanxuan entered the tower by relying on Xianjutu, so the test during teleportation didn't work for him, and suppressing his cultivation in the tower was also to avoid being discovered by Jingling.
On the other hand, Xia Churan has Qingluan continuously sending spiritual power, just like having a cheat in the game that can replenish the blue bar at will.
"Hey, don't guess, the cultivation of the two of them will definitely not exceed the Nascent Soul Realm Dzogchen, otherwise it is impossible to enter the pagoda."
"And judging from the current situation, even if they are both Nascent Souls, both of them will be out of the game. You don't even look at it. With this speed of spiritual power consumption, even Mahayana is not enough to play a complete game of chess."
People were discussing in full swing outside, while the two inside the tower were engrossed in the chess game.
Xia Churan's moves are fierce, using offense as defense.Qiu Wanxuan took every step at a time and fought steadily.
Although the chess moves are different, they are not evenly matched, and they are always evenly matched.
Fuqiu quietly poked a fluffy head that shrank to the size of a fingernail from the sleeve pocket, glanced at less than half of the chess pieces, and said, "Look, I said fifty pieces are definitely not enough, but Jingling is on the opposite side." , will it make it so easy for you to occupy the land?"
Qiu Wanxuan frowned, even if the chess game changes rapidly, even if she has the power to recover, with the current situation, if she wants to occupy half of the chessboard, she can't keep fighting with the opponent until the game is over.
Since entering the tower, he finally encountered a situation that made him stretched.
Either forcibly improve the cultivation level to hold more chips, or just use up the remaining chess pieces in this way, and it will end in failure.
No matter how you look at it, there is no chance of winning.
On the other side, Xia Churan was concentrating on the chessboard, and suddenly felt a sense of trance. This chess move seemed familiar, but he still couldn't remember when he saw it.
When he tried to recall, he felt dizzy for a while, and sporadic images kept flashing in his mind.
In the picture, he is also sitting in front of the chess table in the same way. A figure in a light gauze white robe is seated opposite him, but his appearance is only vaguely visible. The opponent's slender white fingers pinch a chess piece and land it on the chessboard.
A familiar yet unfamiliar voice resounded in my ears: "You are good at using offense as defense, remember to slow down when entering the realm, and take care of yourself when you attack."
The screen flickered a few times and then disappeared. Xia Churan felt a headache and pressed his temples involuntarily.
Whether it is the figure or the voice, it is very similar to Shizun, but he remembers that he has never played chess with Shizun.
Speaking of which, in my impression, I rarely play chess, but for some reason, when he picks up the chess pieces, the number of moves is natural, as if he has practiced countless times.
His intuition told him that he seemed to have forgotten something very important, but since he woke up from the dream in Ximeng Pavilion, his memory has never been lacking, so what exactly did he forget?
Just as his thoughts were flying away, Qingluan's anxious voice woke him up: "Master, what should we do? There won't be enough chess pieces."
He collected himself, put all the chaotic thoughts behind him, glanced at the handful of sunspots gathered alone, and nodded slowly, "Jing Ling is really difficult to deal with."
Qingluan sighed: "It would be great if the opponent is also a passer, then maybe we can discuss it."
This sentence made Xia Churan startled, and suddenly seemed to be awakened.
Does the opponent have to be Jing Ling?
From the very beginning, he was vaguely puzzled, why Jing Ling gave the title: take 180 pieces to pass the level, instead of the winner to pass the level?
It's just that his attention was all on the chess game before, and he didn't think deeply about this issue.
But now it seems that it is almost impossible to use the spiritual power that does not trigger the Tianji Tower's warning line to pass the level, but Jingling never arranges impossible levels.Because it has always been the most fair, even if it is almost impossible, there must be a slight chance of winning.
Maybe the key to breaking the game lies in this strange title.
As he thought about it, he held a chess piece and turned it around with his fingertips. Suddenly, he curled his lower lip, and his eyes became sharp.
Since it is a dead end anyway, it is better to break the boat and find another way.
So he ignored the situation of the needle point against the wheat awn on the field, voluntarily gave up the confrontation, turned his attention to the blank area on one side where there was no owner, and made a decisive move.
As soon as this fell, Qiu Wanxuan who was sitting on the opposite bank raised her brows first, then stretched her brows and eyes, and smiled.
Mao Qiu didn't understand, and said anxiously: "What are you laughing at? It's all over now, you're going to fail the checkpoint! Don't be in a hurry!"
Qiu Wanxuan suddenly relaxed, the previous tension was swept away, and she said calmly, "Who said you were going to fail."
"The situation has just opened up."
