As Di Yu finished speaking, the scene in front of Fan Li changed!
A majestic city, faintly exuding the aura of a king.
Fan Li immediately realized that this should be Yangcheng, the capital of Emperor Yu!
He saw an honor guard with banners waving, beating gongs and drums, heading towards Yangcheng from the outer suburbs in a lively manner.
The city gates are wide open.
The drum music to welcome guests sounded, and Emperor Yu personally went out of the city to welcome the guests with great ceremony.
"I am the emperor, but Zhu Dan is Yao's son, so even I must show courtesy."
Di Yu's voice came again in Fan Li's mind.
In addition to the majesty of the emperor, his tone also revealed a burst of helplessness.
really!
I saw that Zhu Dan's honor guard team was not only huge in number, but also of extremely high standards.
A gold-rooted chariot with six horses.
There are also five auxiliary chariots, all driving four horses.
The attendants participated in the rides, belonging to the thirty-sixth chariot.
Fan Li recognized it at just one glance. This was the specification of the Emperor's Dajia, Fa Jia, and Xiao Jia recorded in ancient books!
So, Zhu Dan used the Emperor's ceremonial guard to see Emperor Yu?
When approaching Yangcheng, Zhu Dan's subordinates shouted in unison: "Zhu Dan pays a visit to Emperor Yu!"
An audience?
Fan Li had a strange expression.
Visiting is also considered an honorific and is mostly used when younger people pay respect to their elders.
But Emperor Yu is the supreme emperor, and Zhu Dan can be considered a prince at most. We don't use words such as court meeting or meeting, but use "visit"?
That's not all.
Di Yu stood at the gate of the city, but Zhu Dan stood on the car without getting out of the car. He bowed directly on the car and saluted.
In this way, Zhu Dan was so superior that Emperor Yu still had to look up to him?
This is simply...very traitorous?
Fan Li's face turned red.
To be honest, he had no comradeship towards Zhu Danke at all.
The scene changes!
Di Yu and Zhu Dan entered the palace and sat facing each other from north to south.
Between the two of them, there was a square gift box covered with white silk.
Zhu Dan uncovered the white silk, revealing a large square inside that was as red as blood.
wrong!
It’s a square chessboard!
Fan Li's eyes widened because he almost immediately recognized that the blood-red chessboard was exactly the same as the huge chessboard covering the sky above Nanchao!
Nineteen vertical and horizontal rivers still look like nineteen rivers.
The black and white chess pieces are all shaped like mountains.
It's just that the chessboard Zhu Dan put out was only of normal size, and it was far enough to cover the whole world.
Zhu Dan began to explain chess, and Di Yu listened with great concentration.
Gradually, Di Yu began to take the initiative to ask questions and ask for advice, with a respectful and pious attitude, like a student thirsty for knowledge asking a teacher for advice.
"well……"
Fan Li heard Di Yu's sigh.
"With the nineteen paths, how many people have been confused?"
"Zhu Dan taught me the way of chess. I was at a bottleneck in my practice at that time, and I actually gained some enlightenment from the way of chess."
"I was extremely happy at that time, thinking that as long as I continue to learn from [chess], I will definitely be able to break through in one fell swoop!"
"I was blinded by greed, and for a moment I forgot Zhu Dan's viciousness."
"Zhu Dan was the son of Yao, and Shang Jun was the son of Shun. The two were extremely close, but Zhu Dan had the heart to kill Shang Jun."
"However, in order to ask Zhu Dan for advice on chess, I completely let down my guard and asked him for advice."
"As a result...I fell into Zhu Dan's trap..."
Fan Li remained silent.
As for the way of cultivation, he has not yet reached the realm of golden elixir. Especially as a time traveler, he does not have such a crazy desire for cultivation.
Fan Li had limited understanding of Di Yu's hope for a breakthrough.
In the picture, Zhu Dan talks eloquently to Emperor Yu.
"His Majesty."
"The [Chess] I created is based on the country. Your Majesty can completely regard the chessboard as a miniature country."
"The way of an emperor is to control the country and have the country in mind."
"Your Majesty, might as well use [chess] to practice cultivation, deduce the gains and losses of the country, temper the emperor's will, and prove the Supreme Way of the Emperor?"
Hearing what Zhu Dan said, Di Yu was very moved.
"Of course I'm willing to try."
"But, I heard Aiqing explain that the way of chess must be played by two sides."
"Even if Aiqing offers [Chess] to me today, I can't practice alone, right?"
Zhu Dan nodded.
"To understand the art of chess alone is like trying to master the game behind closed doors."
"Even if a person exhausts his or her efforts, he or she can only sit in a well and watch the sky, which is far less effective than playing chess with a master."
Di Yu was extremely smart. He immediately thought that one person could understand the art of chess and exchange experiences with the two of them. As expected, the effect of the latter was excellent!
"In this case, please spread the knowledge of chess to the world so that the world can learn from it."
"I want to play chess with the world's best players and gain insights."
After Di Yu finished speaking, he stared at Zhu Dan nervously and defensively.
He was worried that Zhu Dan would use the excuses he had prepared to reject him.
Intuition told Di Yu that Zhu Dan presented [chess], there seemed to be a conspiracy?
"My lord, I obey the order."
Di Yu was very surprised to see that he agreed readily.
Even Fan Li, who was watching, looked at Zhu Dan in confusion.
What about the conspiracy?
How not?
"well……"
Another sigh came out, and Di Yu's voice came faintly.
"I really underestimate Zhu Dan."
"An ordinary person may undergo a huge change after encountering any experience."
"What's more, Zhu Dan?"
"He has great ambitions and is not willing to live in a small place like Tang."
"For this reason, Zhu Dan did not hesitate to kill Shang Jun and dedicated the [chess] made of Shang Jun's bones and blood to me to gain my favor and trust."
"Zhu Dan had such dark intentions, but I was attracted by the way of chess and ignored the danger."
"What happened?" Fan Li couldn't help but ask.
Di Yu didn't answer, but the scene in front of Fan Li jumped again.
Time flies.
In one year, five years, or ten years, wise men continue to learn chess and become good chess players.
Emperor Yu did not play chess with chess players, and he won and lost.
During this period, his cultivation reached a great level. Emperor Yu was so happy that he even rewarded Zhu Dan heavily for his chess presentation.
However, on Di Yu's eleventh thought of using chess to gain enlightenment, he once again faced a bottleneck.
This bottleneck is even more terrifying than the previous one.
Because he has defeated all the famous chess players in the world, and those people were all defeated by Di Yu!
Di Yu could not continue to improve his level by playing against weaker players.
"The second bottleneck brought me more pain than the first time."
"I am anxious, depressed, and irritable. I can't eat during the day and can't sleep at night!"
"I long for an opponent who can help me understand a more profound way of chess. However, I really can't find an opponent...except him."
Zhu Dan!
Fan Li thought of Zhu Dan immediately!
In the fast-jumping scene of ten years, Zhu Dan is like a loyal servant, spreading the art of chess around the world and cultivating opponents for Emperor Yu.
Zhu Dan himself, because of his unfathomable chess skills in teaching, was respected as the 'Chess Saint' by all his disciples!
The chess master must be the best in the world in chess!
Emperor Yu defeated all Zhu Dan's disciples, but he never played against Zhu Dan.
"Finally one day."
"I can't bear it any longer and solemnly invite Zhu Dan, who is giving lectures abroad, to return to Yangcheng to play chess with me."
In Fan Li's ears, Di Yu's voice gradually became painful and regretful...
