Xiyun rested one night in the Wu Clan, and Wu Tianbao personally led the team to send Xiyun to the Zhan Clan early the next morning. On their way to the Zhan Clan, their convoy also passed by the Dou Clan's territory.
"That's the territory of the Dou clan."
On the carriage, Xiyun opened the curtains and saw the gate of the Dou Clan's territory.
"Yes, Young Master." Sitting opposite Xiyun is a maid temporarily assigned to Xiyun by Wu Tianbao. She is only responsible for serving Xiyun on the way to the Zhan clan. The maid said while pouring tea in her hand.
"Clan leader!" Xiyun shouted forward, and then the motorcade stopped. Wu Tianbao rode his horse to Xiyun's carriage.
"What's the matter, young master?"
"That's the territory of the Dou Clan. Why don't we go visit the leader of the Dou Clan first?"
"Don't stand for that guy with me."
"Does the clan leader have any quarrel with the clan leader of the Dou clan?"
Wu Tianbao's anger immediately rose when he mentioned the leader of the Dou Clan.
"That boy who doesn't know the heights of heaven and earth doesn't take us seniors seriously anymore just because he has the backing of secret magic. Without his secret magic, he wouldn't be able to be the leader of the tribes of the three tribes in the East. He became the leader of the tribe. Forget it, that kid actually tried to merge the three tribes. The three tribes have been passed down for thousands of years. Although they are of the same clan, they also have different totems. Which tribe's totems were not forged by thousands of years of blood and tears? He actually tried to destroy the totems of the other two tribes and merge them into his. Under the totem of the Dou Clan, it’s ridiculous!”
"The three clans come from the same origin, but just like a family, brothers also have their own branches."
"exactly."
"The heritage of this lineage is built by our ancestors and cannot be handed over to others."
"Our three tribes in the Eastern Region have not interfered with the change of secular dynasties since ancient times, but that boy from the Dou tribe has great ambitions. He even attempts to unify the three tribes and fight against the two great empires of the north and the south."
"Could it be that he still wants to establish the Eastern Empire, and in the end he still wants to unify Muyang Prefecture?"
"If people's hearts are not enough, what will happen if they are not protected?"
"Could it be that the leader of the Dou Clan still claims to be noble? I, an outsider with a token, must first defeat the two chiefs of the Wu Clan and the Zhan Clan before I can qualify to see his Dou Clan leader?"
"He set the rules." Wu Tianbao glanced disdainfully at the word "Dou" on the gate of the Dou clan's territory, "Sir, let's go to the Zhan clan first."
"good."
The convoy continued to set off, and finally arrived at the gate of the War Clan's territory. Wu Tianbao said a few words to the Zhan clan people, and the Zhan clan disciples went in to report without stopping. After a while, a gentle-looking man came to the gate of the Zhan clan territory.
"Old Wu, what kind of wind brings you here?"
"I'm not interested in coming to see you. I just sent the young master here holding the Lord God's Token." Wu Tianbao said and motioned to his disciples to ask Xiyun to get out of the car. Xiyun got out of the car and came to the two clan leaders.
"Zhan Qianqiu, I will leave this Mr. Lu to you." After Wu Tianbao said this, he saluted Xiyun, and Xiyun returned the salute. Wu Tianbao got on his horse and took the convoy back to the Wu clan. Xiyun watched Wu Tianbao and his convoy leave, then took out the token and handed it to the opposite Zhan Clan leader Zhan Qianqiu. Zhan Qianqiu was wearing a green suit, his eyes were slightly closed, and he had long black hair. He really had the aura of an outsider.
"Sure enough, it is the Lord God's Token." Zhan Qianqiu returned the token to Xiyun, "I see that the young master can get the Lord God's Token without a trace of spiritual power fluctuations in his body. I think there must be something special about him. I usually In addition to dancing with swords and sticks, my favorite thing is the art of black and white. I have integrated the swordsmanship I have learned all my life into the art of chess. If you don’t mind, please play a game of chess with me. If you win, I will The key to the war clan is handed over to you. "
"Then please."
"please."
Zhan Qianqiu led Xiyun to his home. In the backyard of Zhan Qianqiu's house, Xiyun and Zhan Qianqiu were sitting opposite each other, while two or three maids were serving tea and water.
"please."
Zhan Qianqiu made the black move, and his first hand directly occupied the center of the entire north side of the chessboard. Xiyun may have seen Zhan Qianqiu's intention, and his first move landed on the center of the entire south side of the chessboard. Xiyun and Zhan Qianqiu were sitting on the north and south sides of the chessboard respectively. It seemed that the two of them were going to have a battle of the century as if they were commanding two armies.
As time goes by, the two go back and forth between black and white, alternating offense and defense.
"Chief Zhan's chess skills are indeed superb. Every move seems to contain the meaning of the sword. His offensive is fierce."
"Young Master's chess skills are not bad either. Every piece is soft yet strong, and both strong and soft. He easily defuses every killer move he makes and then fights back easily."
"That's ridiculous."
As there are more and more black and white pieces on the chessboard, the gap between the two is always so small.
"Can't see through, can't see through..." Zhan Qianqiu carefully watched the changes in the black and white pieces on the chessboard. He couldn't actually see where Xiyun's real killer move was. Although the two of them were going back and forth, attacking and defending each other, it was obvious that Xiyun was more defensive than offensive, as if he was always following Heizi's offensive and seemed to be suppressed by Heizi's fierce offensive.
"What!"
After a long time, I saw Xiyun drop a piece, and the situation on the entire chessboard suddenly changed. It was as if all the previous offensives of the black piece were to accumulate for the white piece, just to counterattack for the piece that just fell. preparation. What Zhan Qianqiu saw at this time was a huge battlefield. Behind him was an army of 100,000 people in black clothes, and in front of him was an army of 100,000 people in white clothes. The war drums sounded, and the two armies fought. The black-clothed army was overwhelming. Seeing that the white-clothed army was about to collapse, a man came to the battlefield like a god of war and instantly regrouped the scattered and undisturbed white-clothed army, launching a counterattack against the black-clothed army. Under the leadership of the God of War, the black-clothed army was instantly defeated.
"Good move!"
Zhan Qianqiu kept admiring as he looked at the battle situation on the chessboard.
"I'm afraid there won't be anyone else in the world who can play such a good chess game."
"Clan Chief Zhan deserves the award."
"Hey, Young Master's chess skills are indeed better than Zhan's. Zhan thinks that his chess skills are unparalleled in the world. Today, he lost to Young Master. It seems that I have to work hard to improve myself." Zhan Qianqiu picked up the teacup and Xiyun saw Zhuang also quickly picked up the teacup.
"please."
"please."
The two toasted to each other.
"Someone is coming."
After putting down the tea cup, Zhan Qianqiu ordered someone to fetch the wooden box with the key, and then handed the wooden box to Xiyun. Xiyun opened the wooden box, and inside was the same green jade pendant of the Wu clan.
"Thank you, Patriarch."
"You're welcome." Zhan Qianqiu picked up the teacup again, and the maid beside him had already filled it up. "If you don't mind, Master, you can stay with our Zhan clan for a few more days. We can have a lot of exchanges on chess skills."
"The clan leader extended a warm invitation, so Xiyun would rather be respectful than obey."
"Very good, very good."
Under Zhan Qianqiu's arrangement, Xiyun rested in the Zhan clan for ten days. During this period, in addition to practicing chess with Zhan Qianqiu, he also often exchanged swordsmanship with Zhan Qianqiu.
"Sir, your chess skills are even better now."
"The patriarch was born for this way of Go."
In ten days, Zhan Qianqiu's chess skills improved rapidly, and finally surpassed Xiyun. In these ten days, Xiyun's attainments in kendo also improved a lot.
"There is no yin and yang in the great road of heaven and earth. Only with me in you and you in me can the black and white players play this unique game that contains the great road of heaven and earth." Zhan Qianqiu couldn't help but sigh while looking at the battle situation on the chessboard.
"The purpose of playing chess is not to win or lose, but to learn from each other's strengths and make progress together, so that we can explore the real secret between black and white." Xiyun agreed. Zhan Qianqiu nodded to express his agreement with Xiyun.
"Thank you, Master. I have gained more in these short ten days than in the next life of exploration."
"Although the patriarch has seen through fame and fortune, he just hasn't seen through winning or losing."
"Yes, winning or losing is just temporary. Only when you let go of winning and losing can you truly win the world." Zhan Qianqiu said, "Young master is indeed a capable person with a mind of heaven and earth."
"What do I know about the great ways of heaven and earth? I just learned these from my master."
"If I could meet the young master earlier, Zhan would have avoided many detours."
"you flatter me."
"Young Master, you don't have to be polite. Please rest in our group for one more night. I will personally send you to the Dou Clan tomorrow."
"Then there is Patriarch Lao."
Early the next morning, Zhan Qianqiu set off with his convoy.
"Lao Wu? Why are you here?"
As soon as Zhan Qianqiu gathered his convoy and prepared to set off, Wu Tianbao arrived at the gate of the Zhan clan's territory.
"Today is the day when you send Young Master Lu to the Dou Clan. That boy from the Dou Clan promised that today he will defeat the arrogant people who are trying to get the artifact, take back the key to our two families, and unify the three tribes in the East."
"Just him?"
"What are the two patriarchs talking about?"
Zhan Qianqiu and Wu Tianbao were chatting with Xiyun and left.
"Master Lu."
The two clan leaders saluted Xiyun, and Xiyun returned the salute.
"It's getting late, young master, please get in the carriage." Zhan Qianqiu asked Xiyun to get on the carriage, Xiyun got in, and the convoy set off. Zhan Qianqiu and Wu Tianbao accompanied him as guards.
Three or four hours later, the convoy stopped outside the gate of the Dou Clan's territory. At this time, outside the gate of the Dou Clan, a young man in black was leading a dozen Dou Clan disciples in black in the Dou Clan's territory. Waiting outside the gate.
"Sir, we are here." Zhan Qianqiu went to ask Xiyun to get out of the car, and then he and Xiyun brought Wu Tianbao to the front of Dou Zhanlong, the leader of the Dou clan.
"Junior Xiyun has met Chief Dou."
"Um."
Xiyun saluted Douzhanlong, but Douzhanlong just nodded in response.
"Arrogant and ignorant of etiquette." Seeing Douzhanlong being so rude, Wu Tianbao summoned his sword and pointed it at Douzhanlong.
"Clan Chief Wu, are you going to make an enemy of this chief because of an outsider?"
"Shit Chief, I've been unhappy with you for a long time!" Wu Tianbao said and the power in his body exploded, and Douzhan Long was not used to exploding power in return.
"Lao Wu!" Zhan Qianqiu on the other side also burst out with strength to try to mediate the confrontation between Wu Tianbao and Douzhan Long. At this time, I saw the dragon-shaped patterns on Xiyun's wrist guards flashing with a golden light. A golden dragon-shaped armor puppet with golden light all over its body landed from the sky between the two people and horses, directly fighting, fighting, and fighting. All human power was dispersed, de-escalating the confrontation.
"The secret skill of puppets, it seems that the young master is really extraordinary." Zhan Qianqiu couldn't help but admired when he saw Xiyun's puppets.
"It's not worth mentioning heresy." Xiyun was very humble, but Douzhanlong was just pushing the envelope.
"It is indeed some heresy. Let's solve it quickly. I still have many things to deal with."
"Huh?" Xiyun didn't seem happy either.
"I'm just being modest. It's better for you to push your nose and face. It seems that I want to give you some color."
Xiyun thought in his mind and directly controlled the puppet to attach to his body, stimulating all the puppet's energy to directly increase the puppet's power to the level of the Immortal Sect.
"Good guy!"
Wu Tianbao obviously felt that Xiyun was much stronger at this time than when he fought with him. He thought that Douzhanlong was going to be embarrassed today, and then motioned to Zhan Qianqiu to stay away. Wu Tianbao and Zhan Qianqiu retreated to the rear, and the battle between Xiyun and Dou Zhanlong was about to begin.
