The screen jumps.
In the Yangcheng Palace, Emperor Yu arranged an elegant and pure chess room specifically for playing chess with Zhu Dan.
Emperor Yu stood with his hands behind his hands, looking out of the palace gate.
He is waiting.
The edict issued yesterday sincerely invites Zhu Dan, who is giving lectures abroad, to come to Yangcheng to play chess with him.
It had been three days since the edict was sent out, but Emperor Yu had not waited for Zhu Dan.
The visitor is one of Zhu Dan’s students.
The young man knelt three times and kowtowed nine times, and was very respectful. It was obvious that Zhu Dan had trained him extremely well in etiquette.
"The teacher said that he discovered a rare chess genius. With fifty years of careful cultivation, he will surely become a new generation of chess master, and then he will be able to play with His Majesty."
When Di Yu heard this, he was stunned for a moment, then smiled.
"The Chess Master has good intentions. Go back and tell the Chess Master that I am very grateful to him."
Fan Li listened to Di Yu's words, but felt that he didn't mean what he said.
At this time, Di Yu's voice came in Fan Li's mind.
"I don't know since when, I no longer call him by his first name, but instead address him as 'Chess Saint'."
"Actually, I was so anxious that day that I couldn't even wait for the so-called chess master fifty years from now."
"All I want is Zhu Dan!"
really.
Only one day later, Emperor Yu issued another edict, inviting Zhu Dan to come to Yangcheng to see him.
Three days later, the people came.
Still not Zhu Dan, but his son Ling.
Ling said: "My father was slightly ill and was recuperating in Longshan. He was unable to come to see His Majesty, so he sent a minister to take charge of the crime on his behalf."
Emperor Yu had no choice but to comfort Zhu Dan and his son, and said that he had no intention of blaming the chess master, but he had not seen the chess master for many days and missed him very much.
"Zhu Dan spent ten years spreading his chess skills to the world."
"Ten years is a long layout that I have never experienced before."
"In ten years, I and everyone in the world will be in an urn."
"Only Zhu Dan deliberately tried to lure me into playing chess with him, but he could tolerate it for ten years. He even pretended to avoid playing chess with me even at the cost of irritating me."
"And I have already lost my patience."
Di Yu sighed and Fan Li looked solemn.
Zhu Dan, son of Yao.
The ten-year layout is indeed extraordinary.
"Finally, I issued an edict for the third time, forcing Zhu Dan to come out of the mountain."
"In order to ensure that I can see Zhu Dan, I not only issued an edict, but also sent an army to 'protect' Zhu Dan when he arrived in Yangcheng."
"This time, I finally saw him."
The screen jumps.
Di Yu, who was wearing a dragon robe and a majestic instrument, had a look of shock on his face.
Because what he was facing was an old and sick man.
Zhu Dan came, but he was carried.
Fan Li was also shocked.
Didn’t it mean that the layout would take ten years?
How come you are so sick?
Zhu Dan on the sick bed was like a candle in the wind, as if he might die at any time.
"Chess Master, I feel very guilty."
Obviously, Di Yu did not expect this situation.
Zhu Dan lost most of his hair, and his beard and eyebrows turned white.
His face was sickly, his skin paler than paper.
"Your Majesty's intentions... I know."
"But there is... a reason why I have been avoiding His Majesty."
Zhu Dan's voice was very weak, but what he said immediately aroused the curiosity of Di Yu and Fan Li!
"What's the reason?!" Di Yu blurted out and asked.
"Cough cough cough!"
Zhu Dan coughed and forced himself to sit up.
The way he was willing to answer the question without sacrificing his body made Di Yu panic.
Fan Li frowned and said, "Could it be that Zhu Dan is pretending to be ill?"
As expected, Emperor Yu's ghostly voice came to his ears.
"It's not pretending to be sick."
"If he pretends to be sick, there is no way he can hide it from me."
"With Zhu Dan's ten years of planning, I have already let down 90% of my wariness against him."
"As an emperor, I can never let go of this last layer of caution."
Fan Li nodded to express his understanding.
The emperor is the supreme in the world.
Just because he is the supreme person in the world and enjoys endless glory and wealth in the world, how can he not be coveted by others?
It is said that everything in the world is not the king's land, and the shores of the land are not the king's ministers. This is actually an empty talk.
Many people want to occupy the royal land.
Wang Chen, many people want to remove the word 'chen'.
The Son of Heaven is also called the King and Father, and the common people are also called the People.
The father is always suspicious of his son. What a funny reality is this?
"Di Yu, how did you let go of your last layer of caution?" Fan Li murmured to himself.
In fact, there was no need for Di Yu to answer.
The answer is right in front of him, that is Zhu Dan, who is half-dead on the hospital bed.
"I will always be suspicious of Zhu Dan, unless he dies."
"Zhu Dan is really smart and he understands that."
"So, he allowed himself to die without dying, and finally gained my trust."
"I... was completely deceived by him."
Di Yu's voice was filled with regret.
Fan Li's eyes widened and he stared at Zhu Dan on the hospital bed.
Self harm?
Only self-mutilation can accurately grasp the severity and torture yourself to this state.
"grandmaster!"
Di Yu's voice trembled because of nervousness, fear, and remorse.
But he still insisted on asking:
"Why has the chess master refused to come to see me for so many years?"
"I just want to discuss a game with you. Chess master, you should know that my chess skills are almost invincible in the world."
"Perhaps only you, Chess Saint, can help me take another step forward!"
Fan Li shook his head regretfully.
The emperor could not hide his thoughts and even admitted his desires outright.
It was obvious that Di Yu completely lost the initiative.
"minister……"
Zhu Dan spoke weakly.
At this time, his face was flushed, and he looked like he was burning the last of his life force.
But Fan Li felt that this might be due to Zhu Dan's excitement after his treacherous plan succeeded.
"I know that your Majesty is very talented and has great chess skills."
"Looking at the world, I am indeed the most suitable to be your Majesty's opponent...cough cough cough!"
"But, Your Majesty, I don't dare!"
Zhu Dan suddenly raised his voice!
His eyes were wide with fear and regret on his face!
"Your Majesty, I was wrong and guilty!"
"I...shouldn't have invented [Chess]!"
Di Yu was dumbfounded.
He wondered: "Why did the chess sage say this? I was taught chess by the chess sage, and my cultivation has improved to a great level in ten years..."
"No! No! No!"
Zhu Dan shook his head in pain and burst into tears.
"I have foreseen the end of the chess path."
"That's a terrifying scene. Anyone who wants to challenge the pinnacle of chess skills may pay a heavy price!"
"Your Majesty, I... If I put Your Majesty in danger, I will be guilty and deserve to die!!!"
When Emperor Yu heard this, he was surprised and then happy.
"is that true?"
"Chess Saint, please tell me, if I reach the pinnacle of chess, what level can I achieve?!"
Zhu Dan shook his head repeatedly, indicating that he would rather die than obey.
Di Yu was anxious!
After all, he cared about his own cultivation more than Zhu Dan's body.
"Zhu Dan!"
"I am the most respected one!"
"Now I order you to tell me the truth about the top of chess immediately!"
The command was extremely majestic.
Zhu Dan did not obey immediately, but looked pleading.
However, all he met was Di Yu's determined gaze!
"I... obey your order."
Zhu Dan's voice was extremely painful, but Fan Li didn't feel right about it.
The emotions are so precise, it's like he traveled back to the previous world and was filled with skilled voice actors.
Acting?
As soon as this word came into Fan Li's mind, he heard Zhu Dan speak slowly.
"The way of chess is the way to deduce the general trend of the world."
"The nineteen vertical and horizontal lanes are the game, and the chess pieces are the momentum. A master who controls the game with force will have the ambition and wisdom to dominate the country and dominate the world."
"So, the pinnacle of chess skills... is also the pinnacle that an emperor can reach."
"What is the peak of an emperor?!" Di Yu asked eagerly.
Zhu Dan raised his right hand tremblingly, stretched out his index finger, and slowly pointed to the sky.
"To rule the world is to be a human emperor."
"To rule the three realms is to be the Emperor of Heaven."
"The pinnacle of the emperor is the true supreme being who controls billions of living beings in the three realms, has boundless power, and is immortal for all eternity."
"I call him the [Great Heavenly Lord, Mysterious Sky and High God], which is the Emperor of Heaven."
Di Yu's breathing became rapid.
His face was flushed, and his complexion looked quite similar to Zhu Dan's.
If an uninformed person saw their appearance, they would definitely suspect that the two of them drank a lot of wine.
"Chess Master, I don't want to be just a human emperor, I want to be a heavenly emperor!"
After Di Yu finished speaking, he felt that he was too impatient, and forced an embarrassed smile on his face.
"I'm not just for myself."
"In today's world, except for me, I am afraid that no one is qualified to be the Emperor of Heaven."
"Chess master, are you right?"
Zhu Dan did not hesitate, and nodded with all his strength: "Your Majesty's brilliance, wisdom, and merit are unprecedented in history, and even the sages and emperors are far beyond their reach. I also believe that Your Majesty should pursue the path of the Emperor of Heaven."
Di Yu was overjoyed and thought Zhu Dan was moved by him.
Just listen to Zhu Dan continue: "But your Majesty... using chess to simulate the limits of the emperor, the price is very high..."
"For the sake of the Heavenly Emperor's Way, I am willing to bear no matter what the cost!"
Zhu Dan seemed to be moved by Di Yu's courage.
The two looked at each other for a long time.
Finally, Zhu Dan nodded slowly.
"Your Majesty is determined, and I already know it."
"In this case, I am willing to play chess with Your Majesty and help Your Majesty understand the great road."
Zhu Dan tremblingly took out something, which was still the chessboard made of Shang Jun's bones and blood.
Di Yu had not seen this thing for ten years. When he saw it again, he felt that the blood on the chessboard was a little thicker. The appearance of the black and white chess pieces had not changed much, but there was a faint sense of violence and violence.
Di Yu frowned unconsciously.
"If your Majesty can use the country as a chess piece and the destiny of the world as a bargaining chip, I can use the [Shangjun Chessboard] to start a battle at the pinnacle of chess!"
"The stakes in this battle are huge."
"If your Majesty loses, you will lose the world!"
"If Your Majesty wins, you will suddenly realize the Heavenly Emperor's Way on the spot. Although you will not immediately attain Heavenly Emperor, at least you will have a clear direction."
After hearing what Zhu Dan said, Di Yu suddenly stood up and took several steps back!
"Will I lose the world!?"
Di Yu's expression suddenly changed, and there was even a hint of murderous intent in his eyes!
His defensiveness towards Zhu Dan ten years ago was instantly awakened by these words!
Di Yu's first reaction was that this was Zhu Dan's conspiracy. How dare he persist in his evil intentions!
However.
Zhu Dan looked up at Emperor Yu on the sickbed. His eyes were frank and clear, as if he had a clear conscience.
Di Yu also seemed to come to his senses.
He looked Zhu Dan up and down. This man had been spreading chess skills for ten years and traveling around the world alone.
The tribesmen who followed Zhu Dan in the past were disappointed with his focus on chess and gradually left him.
Such a loner?
Such a lonely shadow and a dim light?
Why does he covet the throne of the Human Emperor?
The surprise in Di Yu's heart gradually dissipated. He took a deep breath. He originally wanted to relax, but first he smelled the strong scent of medicine in the chess room.
The scent of medicine seemed to cover up the deathly aura on Zhu Dan's body.
"He is already dying, why should I worry so much?"
Fan Li heard Di Yu's voice again.
"I will always remember that it was with such a mood that I chose to believe in Zhu Dan's loyalty."
"The destruction of the Daxia Kingdom is all my fault..."
The screen jumps.
Yangcheng Palace, square.
"Heaven and earth serve as a guide."
"I use my luck to start this chess game!"
"If we win, we will open the way to the Emperor of Heaven!"
"If I lose, I am willing to lose everything!"
Di Yu's expression was very solemn. There was a [Shangjun chessboard] in the middle of the square, and opposite him was Zhu Dan who had even carried out the entire hospital bed.
When Emperor Yu finished speaking, Zhu Dan also shouted in a hoarse voice: "Your Majesty is invincible and will definitely create a new height for the Emperor's foundation! I am willing to sacrifice my life to help your Majesty succeed!"
As soon as he finished speaking, [Shangjun Chessboard] erupted into a bloody beam of light that shot into the sky and went straight into the clouds!
The next moment, the color of the world changes!
In the sky of Yangcheng, the sea of clouds that was originally white and soft like snow, when the blood-colored light beam invaded, it was like blood dissolving in water, and it was instantly dyed bright red!
The game of chess begins.
Fan Li could see that Di Yu was fully engaged in the chess game.
Because he was so focused, he overlooked a major event: the passage of time.
When mortals play chess, a cup of tea and a stick of incense can end a game in half a day at most.
Chess masters play chess for three to five days, or for ten and a half months.
The legendary master of chess, who has been playing chess for many years.
A game of chess.
One year, five years, ten years?
However, as Fan Li watched the chess game of heaven and earth, winter turned to spring and ten summers and winters came in the blink of an eye.
ten years!
A whole ten years!
Di Yu and Zhu Dan were playing chess and had just finished their twenty-sixth move.
The chessboard is empty and there are only a few moves.
But something terrible happened!
Di Yu was covered in cold sweat, half of his black hair on his temples turned gray, his complexion was sallow and his lips were purple.
Looking back at Zhu Dan, he still looks old, but he has already stood up from the bed.
Zhu Dan stood with his hands behind his back, his back straight and his eyes sharp and lively!
He held black and raised his hand casually, and a black stone fell on the chessboard.
But the chessboard at this moment has covered the entire palace square!
Each chess piece is as big as a boulder.
"Your Majesty, it's your turn." Zhu Dan smiled.
Di Yu ignored him and stared at the chessboard.
"My Yongzhou was lost...Liangzhou was also lost..."
Emperor Yu once divided the world into nine states, namely Jizhou, Yanzhou, Qingzhou, Xuzhou, Yangzhou, Jingzhou, Yuzhou, Liangzhou and Yongzhou.
In the first ten years, there were twenty-six moves, and Emperor Yu of nine states in the world lost two.
"Your Majesty, there must be a winner or loser in a chess game. This is common sense." Zhu Dan said with a smile.
Fan Li discovered that while Zhu Dan was speaking, the hair on his head had become much thicker.
The new hair is also black.
"wrong!"
"Zhu Dan, why is my chess ability far inferior to yours?!"
"You spread the chess skills to the world. I have studied and practiced hard day and night, and I have already mastered them all!"
"Even when you were recuperating in Longshan, you only told the chess skills to the disciples around you. I also tried every means to get it."
"Why do you still have new chess moves that I have never seen before?"
"fraud!!!!!!"
Di Yu suddenly shouted!
"Zhu Dan, you deceived the whole world! You deceived me!"
