Jin Lingzong, Jin Lingzi asked seriously: "Brother Peng, I want to know, Old Man Chaos is Brother Ling..."
The black-winged roc glared at him and said decisively: "Of course not, that old man is quite nice. Brother Ling even played a game of chess with him."
We left Sanguan Temple and headed west to go to the Ghost Land. As we approached the Wanli Desert, the First World War attracted our attention.
The fluctuations in spiritual power are due to the war between the human race and the ghost race. The purpose of our trip is to use the ancient trees in the ghost domain. How can we just sit idly by and do nothing when this happens? We want to be a favor and help the ghost race. When the time comes, Ghostland is easy to talk to.
What he didn't expect was that Old Man Chaos was fighting with the masters of the Netherworld Cult of the Southern Tianling Empire.
Although the Nether Cult and the Ghost Realm both belong to the ghost clan, they regard each other as enemies and have irreconcilable racial hatred. Moreover, the demon clan and the Nether Cult have had an irresolvable hatred since ancient times.
"Did you help Old Man Chaos repel the Netherworld Cult?" Jin Lingzi asked.
Dapeng shook his head and said: "By the time we arrived at the scene, the battle was over, and the strong men of the Netherworld Cult took the initiative to retreat."
Jin Lingzi guessed: "They must have sensed you and stopped there."
"Who knows." Dapeng continued: "Old Chaos said that the Netherworld cult is getting stronger and stronger, and the human race will soon have a catastrophe."
"I jokingly said at the time, how could the human race suffer any catastrophe as long as you, senior, are here?"
"Old Chaos didn't say anything. He just looked at the swaddled baby. He seemed to have seen some clues, so he took us to the place where he practiced, and then solemnly presented a peerless skill to Brother Ling."
Jin Lingzi asked in confusion: "The strongest man in the human race met the arrogant Demon King, and there was no competition? He also took the initiative to give a peerless skill to each other?"
Dapeng said casually: "I'm also very surprised. I was still waiting to see them fight to see who was better, but they took the initiative to donate the skills. Obviously, the fight couldn't be fought, but they played a game of chess afterwards."
"How is the outcome of the chess game?" Jin Lingzi asked. Some masters can compete without using their hands, and some masters can determine the outcome with just their thoughts. The outcome of the game between the Big Demon King and the Old Man of Chaos should be determined.
Dapeng said awkwardly: "How can I, Lord Peng, stare at something as boring as playing chess?"
"I just remember that Brother Ling commented very regretfully that he knew that destiny was impossible to do but acted on it. I am afraid that the strongest man in the human race will fall soon."
Jin Lingzi sighed: "The strong men of Jin Lingzong, the defenders of Xianyang City and the strong men of the royal family pursued you all the way. They didn't find you, but they met Old Man Chaos."
"At that time, he had run out of gas. The powerful royal family concluded that it was the Great Demon King and asked everyone to continue chasing. Instead, they stayed. When we came back, the old man of Chaos was no longer there, and even the corpse capital didn't know about it. Where is he buried?"
Dapeng mocked: "They keep saying they want to kill demons, but they do shady things themselves. The death of Old Chaos is inseparable from them."
Jin Lingzi narrowed his eyes and recalled the taste carefully: "I heard that Old Man Chaos guarding the tomb is actually guarding a sacred object."
Dapeng nodded and said, "I know this. At that time, I asked Brother Ling if this sacred object could heal my nephew. Brother Ling shook his head and said that only the ghost tree was left."
Jin Lingzi said with emotion: "The death of a great master is unknown. If that sacred object is seen again, I don't know how much bloodshed it will cause."
"Isn't this just Jianghu? It is better to say that it is driven by grievances and hatreds. It is better to say that it is driven by interests." Dapeng said disdainfully.
The royal family keeps saying that they want to kill demons and do justice for heaven. Is he seeking justice? He is just consolidating the foundation of the royal family and gaining more benefits.
Jin Lingzi smiled slightly and said, "You can see clearly."
At Tianmen, Ye Yi calmed down his aura, and the explosive spiritual power fluctuations gradually stabilized. He approached Ling Han and asked, "You said you have been to Xuanhuang Palace?"
Ling Han said softly: "Yes, there is a stone tablet in the Xuanhuang Hall that records the deeds of the tomb guardians of the past generations."
"There is still an unfinished chess game!" The beautiful voice attracted everyone's attention. She walked slowly and gracefully, and asked Ye Yi in a beautiful voice: "Are you really the eleventh person?"
Old Man Chaos is the tenth generation of tomb guardians. If Ye Yi is his disciple, then he is the eleventh generation of tomb guardians.
Ye Yi flipped his wrist, and a chessboard with white edges floated in the air, with a yellow background and black lines, about the size of two palms, and several chess pieces on it were clearly black and white.
Seeing the chessboard in Ye Yi's hand, Sha Bao exclaimed: "This is the chessboard of heaven and earth!"
Mei Ruyu was stunned for a moment, then nodded and said, "It seems that you are indeed the eleventh person, but since the tomb is gone, you don't have to guard it."
The Heaven and Earth chessboard is a treasure passed down by the tomb-keepers of the Western Xia Dynasty. Old Man Chaos is the master of chess skills among the descendants of the past generations. Not only is his chess skills superb, but his cultivation is also unfathomable.
A hundred years ago, the old man Chaos stood on the top of the mountain with a chessboard of heaven and earth in his hands, defeating the powerful men of the three empires who came to challenge him one by one. As a poor scholar, he became famous in one battle when he first emerged from the world, making all those who came after him feel ashamed. He is recognized as the strongest person in the human race in the past thousand years.
Ye Yi said firmly: "But I want to find out the truth and fulfill my master's long-cherished wish!"
"Obviously, the Great Demon King is not the truth." Ling Han said with a slight smile. If it was true that Old Man Chaos was killed by the Great Demon King as rumored in the world, then the truth would have been revealed a long time ago. Just take revenge directly, so there is no need to investigate further.
Ye Yi didn't talk nonsense and was no longer hostile to Ling Han. He held his hands in front of him and said, "I'm sorry, Brother Ling. Although I don't know the truth, I can't completely rule out that it was the Great Demon King. Until I find out the truth, the Demon King will do it." The clan is still my enemy."
"I can understand, after all, this is the rumor in the world." Ling Han then asked: "Where do you start to investigate?"
Ye Yi asked seriously: "Brother Ling, do you still remember the endgame?"
Ling Han looked at him deeply, nodded slightly and said, "I probably have some impression."
Ye Yi flicked his wrist, and the chessboard on his palm slowly enlarged to look like a normal chessboard, and then said to Ling Han: "Brother Ling, please recover."
Ling Han closed his eyes for a moment to concentrate on his memories, put his fingers together and tapped lightly on the chessboard, and most of it was restored in a moment.
"You have a good memory, you remember everything clearly?" Mei Ruyu joked from the side.
The corner of Ling Han's mouth slightly raised, and he said softly: "I was not idle when you were playing against the Netherworld youth. I was always observing the chess game, otherwise I wouldn't have triggered the chess trap."
"Mechanism? General worship platform?" Ye Yi's face was a little heavy.
Mei Ruyu said: "The sacred object that you guard, the black and yellow mud seal, was sealed in the general worship platform. I don't know how this guy touched the mechanism. The general worship platform suddenly collapsed, and a black and yellow mud seal appeared out of the sky."
Ye Yi's breathing became very rapid, and his eyes were about to burst into flames as he stared at Ling Han.
Mei Ruyu said regretfully: "It's a pity that the black and yellow mud seal fragments disappeared and disappeared under our noses."
Ye Yi was slightly startled and felt relieved after hearing this. Ling Han didn't have any mood swings from beginning to end, and he concentrated on trying to recall the endgame of the chessboard.
He leaned slightly, and under Ling Han's careful manipulation, the end game was completely restored, and he said: "This is the chess game at that time."
Ye Yi stared at the chessboard carefully, constantly thinking about it, trying to interpret the changes in the chess game, his brows furrowed and he gradually fell into deep thought.
Ling Han and the three of them were silent, waiting quietly for him to get some information. However, for about a cup of tea, they still didn't see any movement from him. They were watching the chess game motionless like an old monk meditating.
"Let him study slowly here, and let's go out for a walk." Ling Han whispered to Mei Ruyu.
Mei Ruyu said softly: "Where are you going for a walk at night?"
Ling Han looked at Sand Bao with a half-smile and said, "Since the people behind the black market are here, why not see if this Sand Token works well."
Sha Bao smiled naively and said, "Okay, I'll just hand over the black market affairs to Tianmen."
Ling Han took Hua You and Yuan Jie out of the bed to accompany him, each wearing a mask to hide his face, and followed Sha Bao to the black market.
I thought the black market would be in a remote corner of Xieyang City, but I didn’t expect it to be in the center of the city and not far from Yuling Order. You must know that the black market and Yuling Tower are both trading places and compete with each other. Yuling Tower can actually Allow the black market to exist.
Sha Bao explained: "These two streets are the jurisdiction of the black market. The stalls are only open at night and are evacuated at dawn, leaving no trace."
At first glance, it’s very lively. One stall is next to another. Most of the stall owners are wearing wide black robes and masks, with an enigmatic look. The customers coming and going are single-person. Although it is not full, each stall has almost one person. A customer stopped.
Most of the stalls are all kinds of jade. After all, Xieyang City is famous for its ores in the mainland. Stones of all sizes are either exorbitantly priced scraps, or treasures are found and leaked, which often happens here.
There are also those selling the three treasures of monsters and beasts, spiritual herbs and elixirs, which are commonly used by spiritual masters, and there are also those selling various weapons, magic weapons, exercises, and spiritual skills. However, most of them are of medium and low grade, with a few of top grade items, and there are basically no top-grade ones. Soldiers, not to mention the heavenly soldiers that have a price but no market.
There were also some stalls selling various fine wines. When Ling Han saw the three words "Ghost Sees Sorrow" written on several jars of ancient wine jars, he immediately became happy, winked at Meiruyu, walked over, and said in surprise : "Hey, Guijianchou has a price but no market. I didn't expect to meet it here."
"Young master is really wise and discerning. This ghost Jianchou was obtained from the ghost clan. He spent a lot of effort and asked many friends to get it. It was just obtained with great hardships. Except for me, you can find it in the entire Xieyang City." Don't even think about buying it." The stall owner said a lot of words in one breath, patting his chest with utmost sincerity to ensure that the goods were genuine.
"How come I heard that the ghost clan no longer brews ghost sorrow, and drinking a jar is a jar less." Ling Han said, the stall owner hid his face, and judging from the voice, he was a middle-aged and elderly man.
The stall owner smiled and did not defend himself. He continued to recommend: "This wine is indeed brewed by the ghost tribe. If you like it, you might as well buy it back and try it."
Seeing that Ling Han's words were extraordinary, he was obviously not someone who was easily fooled, so he stepped back and stopped insisting that this wine was the best among the wines.
Ling Han smiled slightly. He knew the taste of Gui Jianchou very well. This wine was indeed brewed by the Gui clan, but it was not Gui Jianchou.
No longer caring about the fine wine, he turned his attention to the boxes next to the fine wine and saw something in them. Ling Han picked up a gray bead and looked at the beautiful jade in confusion.
Mei Ruyu whispered: "Soul beads are also goods traded between ghosts and humans, but most of them are at the grass level."
The stall owner clicked his tongue and said: "What this girl said is true. I have to say that this ghost tribe is really powerful. They can create such strange things as soul beads. One of them can make an ordinary person be promoted to the rank of a spiritual master. Although it is only Grassland, but this effect is incomparable even if it is a panacea."
