Chapter 58: Being a Dog and Being a Man
"I didn't expect to see His Royal Highness the Prince here, which really made the little monk very happy. ”
Bujie came to Li Xiu's side and stood down, the smile on his face was extremely bright, which made the night bright.
It is a very happy thing to meet old acquaintances in a foreign country, and the same is true for Li Xiu, he reached out and touched Bujie's bare head, and explained: "Come and do something, and leave when you are done." ”
It's still a familiar feel.
The little monk narrowed his eyes, feeling very comfortable, and didn't ask anything, just stood quietly beside him, without saying a word.
This scene was seen by the people of the surrounding sects, and they were surprised, I don't know who that young man is, and he dares to make such a rude move to the Buddha of Wuliang Temple.
There were only three people on this trip to Wuliang Temple, one big monk and two small monks.
At this moment, the great monk sat on top of the golden lotus, sighed when he watched this scene, and said that Hongchen was hard to break and then ignored it.
After all, this was only a small episode, and everyone just glanced at it curiously and then ignored it, after all, the highlight of the day was the duel between the little chess master and the chess demon.
Another half an hour passed, and there was still no movement on the island below, and the people around them had already become more and more urgent, especially the big people on the cloud boat.
If you die early or later, you have to die, so what is the delay?
The group of Confucian students in the Sanqi Cliff stood on the white paper, their brows furrowed, and the first Confucian in a long robe stood in front of the white paper, looking down at the island below.
Then he lifted an ink pen and tapped it lightly in front of him.
Countless inks appeared in the sky in an instant, floating densely like raindrops on the 36-hole islands, hanging without falling.
He didn't speak, but everyone knew that this Wensheng Confucian of the Sanqi Cliff had run out of patience, and the meaning was obvious, either he would come out to play chess now, or he would die on the island.
There are still many people on the island, but after all, it is a great Confucian who shoots a sword, and no one will worry about being injured by him, even if the ink splashed in the sky will never fall on them, the onlookers.
"I haven't seen each other for hundreds of years, and you're still so impatient. ”
At that moment, a voice suddenly sounded from the deepest part of the island below, sounding full of air and not at all like it had been suppressed for hundreds of years.
The island where the thirty-sixth cave is located has produced countless black fogs, making the night between heaven and earth much deeper.
The black mist rushed into the sky and formed a huge mouth like a black hole, and the huge mouth was so large that it encompassed a radius of thousands of miles, as if it wanted to swallow all the cloud boats standing in the air into its belly.
The great Confucian of the Sanqi Cliff snorted coldly, and the countless inks hanging above his head shot downward, like a sword light that pierced through the huge mouth of the black hole, stabbing it out of countless holes.
Thousands of miles of black fog suddenly dispersed, and an old man in green clothes appeared in mid-air, his face was ruddy, his figure was a little rickety, and his short hair was sparse, he turned his head to look at the great Confucian, and showed a greeting smile that he hadn't seen for a long time.
He was missing several teeth in his mouth.
The chess demon is only more than five hundred years old now, and it is nothing among the five realm grandmasters, no matter how weak his appearance is, he will not lose a few teeth, which proves that Cui Wei, the master of the thirty-six caves, is not lying, he has indeed been suppressed and killed for hundreds of years, Rao is looking full of energy at the moment, but he can't hide that he has reached the point where he is about to run out of oil.
"Your life is big, but it won't be that big. ”
The great Confucian looked coldly at the chess demon in front of him who was full of red light but was about to die, he designed to kill hundreds of thousands of people in the pit, including more than 100 disciples of the Sanqi Cliff, this is a great hatred, and it cannot be repaid.
The chess demon raised his hand and touched his thin-haired head, and said with a smile: "The so-called scourge has been left for thousands of years, and the will of heaven is unpredictable, maybe I won't die today." ”
Da Ru held a brush in his hand, and the pen was amazing, but he did not make it.
"After this game, you're going to die. ”
"Who knows?"
The two of them looked at each other in the air, and the chess demon shook his head and came to Fang Liang's side, sitting down at the other end of the chessboard.
Fang Liang sat on the cloud boat, the chessboard was suspended in the sea of clouds, the clouds and mist had no shape and could not be focused, but the chess demon just sat cross-legged on the clouds and mist, looking at the young man in front of him for a long time.
"Thank you. ”
He said.
"Where's the thanks?"
Fang Liang replied.
The chess demon explained: "If you don't show up to fight with me, I'm afraid that in a few decades, I will really be ground to death by that person surnamed Cui." ”
I survived, and of course I have to thank you.
"I just want to play chess, your life and death have nothing to do with me, not to mention that you will still die after playing chess, let alone thanks. ”
"Those are two different things. ”
After that, he will die, that is a matter of later, and he is still alive now, at least out of the great array that trapped the dead.
The two of them sat facing each other, and a huge chessboard projection appeared above their heads, enough for everyone on the four sides of the cloud boat and the islands on the ground to see it realistically.
Fang Liang raised his hand and took out a net cover from his arms and threw it above his head, the net cover suspended above the heads of the two of them, sprinkling a light like a golden bowl of Buddhism, enveloping their bodies, isolating the two from this world.
There was no reaction on the faces of those people on the four-sided cloud boat, knowing that this was the quirk of the small chess saint Fang Liang when he was playing, and he used the magic weapon to isolate himself from the opponent, so that he was cut off from the outside world, neither the sound nor the movement would be revealed, and the people from the outside world could not see inside.
But every step the two of them walked, the reflection of the chessboard in the sky would emerge exactly as it was.
"I've heard of you. ”
The chess demon glanced at the illusion created by the isolation around him, and then smiled at Fang Liang.
"Am I supposed to feel honored?"
Fang Liang raised his hand and gestured, and said expressionlessly.
This is the meaning of letting the chess devil go first.
The chess demon did not refuse, raised his hand and picked up a sunspot and put it on the chessboard, and said: "These hundreds of years have been very boring, and what I have to do every day is to die as late as possible in addition to waiting for death, and I can't help but be curious about what has happened on the mainland in the past few hundred years, Cui Wei is not bad, and he is not stingy when he knows that I am about to die, and he will come to tell me something new every day, so although the old man is trapped here, the news is well-informed." ”
"I heard that more than 300 years ago, a country arose on the other side of the Green Sea? It seems to be called Tang Kingdom, the old man is too old to remember clearly, but Cui Wei said that the strength of this Tang Dynasty is stronger than the five major factions, but it is tired of internal and external troubles. ”
"Whatever, it's far away from the wasteland anyway, I heard that you don't have a teacher, and your cultivation has relied on your own luck so far, and even such a treasure can be owned, which is really amazing. ”
He stretched out his finger and pointed to the net cover above the two of them, praised it, then looked at Fang Liang with a smile, and continued: "I've heard of you, you should have heard of me, it's better to say if you win this game of chess, if you lose, it will be dead." ”
......
......
Fang Liang opened his mouth and said, "I won't die. ”
The speed of the two players is not fast, and it usually takes half an hour to lose a piece.
The chess demon thought he understood what he meant, and couldn't help asking, "Do you think you will be able to beat me?"
Fang Liang nodded, this was a normal thing, when it came to playing chess, how could he lose?
"Win or lose, I'm not going to die. ”
This is much more interesting, the chess demon knows that he has misunderstood what he meant before, so he said: "I want to kill you like pinching an ant to death, without much effort, so how are you going to live?"
"I think if I can live, then no one wants to die. ”
It sounds meaningful, as if it meant something.
The movements of the chess demon were a little slower, his eyes narrowed slightly, and he did not speak.
Fang Liang said lightly: "You have been trapped in the Thirty-six Caves for hundreds of years and refuse to die, this is the fear of death, if you still want to live from now on, then you have to promise me one thing." ”
"Can you keep me alive?"
The chess demon felt a little funny, not to mention the nearly 100 Five Realms Grandmasters standing on the nearly 100 cloud boats in the outside world, just saying that the Great Confucian of the Sanqi Cliff and the Great Monk of Wuliang Temple were not confident that they could escape alive.
It's not hundreds of years ago, and he's just regained his freedom, and I'm afraid he can only play about two or three points of his strength.
Fang Liang shook his head: "No." ”
But then he raised his hand and pointed behind him and said, "But he can." ”
The chess demon put the fingertip chess pieces on the chessboard, looked up at the place where his finger was, and Li Xiu was standing there.
Fang Liang explained: "Since you have heard of the Tang Kingdom, I will also explain it superfluously, he is the son of the Tang Dynasty, one person is above ten thousand people, you can live if you follow him." ”
This is a very straightforward truth.
But there was a sneer on the face of the chess demon: "A hairy boy who has not dried up, is he a dog?"
Fang Liang looked at him, his gaze calm, even in the face of the notorious number one demon for hundreds of years, he didn't have the slightest fear: "Aren't you just an old dog, why do you have to do it?"
The sneer on the chess demon's face disappeared little by little, and the face suddenly became extremely cold, a black mist appeared from all around, and the suspended net cover above his head began to shake.
Fang Liang didn't care, and said lightly: "Be a dog, die, two answers are in front of you, I don't think it's difficult to choose." ”
The chess demon is afraid of death, otherwise he will not hold out for hundreds of years in the 36-hole array, and he will not want to die if he is afraid of death.
If you don't want to die, you have to be a dog.
"It's not hard to choose. ”
A smile reappeared on the chess demon's face, and the black mist suspended around him also dissipated, and then said: "It's just that being a dog is also to be particular, it depends on the owner." ”
Fang Liang sneered, raised his hand and put down Bai Zi, and a scimitar was condensed on the chessboard, revealing its edge.
"A dog is a dog, even if you are dressed in luxurious clothes, it is still a dog, you are not qualified to look at the owner, and you are not qualified to pay attention to it. ”
This is a tough word, and he is also playing with his life, he is facing a murderous chess demon, as long as one is not careful, he will be crushed to death here.
But he won't die, because the chess demon doesn't want to die.
Only people who don't have a choice will go to be dogs.
"If you could put it another way, I would be happy to say yes. ”
The chess demon glanced at the chessboard, nearly an hour had passed, and the two had not decided the winner, but the balance had gradually begun to tilt.
Being a dog is hard to hear, but it would sound nice if you could replace it with words like following or helping.
Fang Liang asked, "Could it be that you will refuse now?"
The chess demon shook his head and said, "I will still agree now, but the promise is not happy, and I am very angry, I am not angry easily, once I get angry, the consequences are very serious." ”
"How serious?"
"It's serious. ”
The two men looked at each other, then looked away at the same time, focusing entirely on the chessboard in front of them.
"The name of the little chess saint is well deserved, and it is stronger than I imagined. ”
On the chessboard, the sunspot has begun to enter the defensive, and the arrows are a little unsupported, whether it is on the island or on the cloud boat, as long as the people who can play chess see the current situation, they are relieved in their hearts.
Fang Liang is going to win.
The great Confucian lifted the pen in his hand, and a bit of ink condensed on his chest.
The great monk of Wuliang Temple sat cross-legged on the golden lotus, his eyes open and closed.
Nearly a hundred cloud boats turned their direction, and there were extremely powerful energy fluctuations on the cloud boats slowly condensing, and the attention of many Five Realm Grandmasters began to move away from the chessboard, and the chess game would not be long before it ended, and that was when the chess demon body fell.
Before and after the chessboard, the chess demon glanced back at the first-class forces around him, and there was a faint sneer on his face: "What are you talking about supporting justice, how many people really want to support justice among these more than 100 first-class forces?"
The reason why these people came to kill the chess demon was purely because the chess demon would definitely die.
When the chess demon's strength was at its peak, how many dared to kill him?
Now come here to go through the motions, shout for justice, and make a reputation.
"The game was almost over, and I was curious how he was going to save me. ”
The chess demon looked up at Li Xiu, who was silent on the cloud boat, and asked out loud.
"It doesn't matter how he saves you, what matters is whether you want to be a human being after you live. ”
If the chess demon whose strength has recovered to the peak does not want to be a dog anymore, it will be interesting.
This is indeed a question, the chess demon's eyes flickered, he didn't answer, and he didn't know how to answer, because there is no restraint on this kind of thing, even if you make a poisonous oath to the Heavenly Dao, how can a big devil like him be binding?
Fang Liang took out a small box from his arms and handed it to him, and said lightly: "Put this thing in your mouth, and then you can go out and die, but he asked me to bring you a sentence, I hope you can remember it clearly." ”
"What?"
"If he can save you, he can kill you. ”
The chess demon's gaze fell on Li Xiu's face, and he looked at it fixedly for a long time, then fell silent, opened the small box, took out a pill inside, and put it in his mouth.
"Good. ”
The words fell, and he put down the last chess piece.
Then Fang Liang followed and put down a chess piece.
The white light on the chessboard shone brightly, and the net overhead swirled and flew back into his hands.
The bodies of the two were exposed to everyone's sight, and the victory and defeat were decided.
......
