The cliff is steep and there is no road ahead, only a giant chessboard suspended in the air.
On both sides of the chessboard, there are black and white chess pieces.
Although the giant chessboard was suspended in the air on the cliff, it was completely silent, with no breath leaking out.
At this moment, in addition to Ye Qiubai and the others, two men and one woman came here.
When he saw Ye Qiubai and the others, a handsome man in the lead was slightly surprised, and then said with a smile: "I didn't expect to meet you here."
Ye Qiubai is the only one recognized by Remnant Soul.
So any prodigy who has entered the ancient battlefield can recognize Ye Qiubai.
I saw the man clasping his fists and saying: "Ancient Star Territory, Zixiao Sect Fang Yan." Then he pointed to the other two people and said: "Peng Shiwu, Tong Xu."
After saying that, Peng Shiwu and Tong Xu also bowed their hands.
Ye Qiubai also returned the gift with his hand.
Immediately, Fang Yan asked: "Brother Ye, have you discovered anything?"
Ye Qiubai shook his head and said: "Not yet, but if we don't solve this chessboard, maybe we will have to take a detour."
Fang Yan smiled and said, "Brother Ye, you can't even see anything? Then let's go up and try?"
After saying that, Fang Yan took the lead and stepped onto the chessboard.
Seeing this scene, Shi Shenghan smiled and said: "Why isn't he afraid of any traps? He looks quite generous."
Mu Fusheng frowned slightly and said, "No, most people would not easily walk into an unknown place like this. What he did... seemed a little too deliberate."
Having said this, Mu Fusheng turned to look at Song Xiao and asked, "Brother Song, do you know the origins of these people?"
Song Xiao also understood what Mu Fusheng meant. He spread his hands and said, "I know about the Zixiao Sect, but these people have never heard of it."
"This is normal. There are so many geniuses in the world, and I can't possibly recognize them all."
Mu Fusheng nodded, keeping an eye on it.
When Fang Yan stood on the chessboard, nothing unusual appeared.
But Ning Chenxin was staring at the chessboard tightly and frowned slightly.
Hongying on the side noticed the abnormality in Ning Chen's heart, so she asked: "What's wrong? Did you find anything?"
Generally speaking, Ning Chenxin would not show such an expression.
Ning Chenxin nodded and said, "I have some guesses, but I need to try them."
After that, Fang Yan jumped down.
Just as he was about to say something, Ning Chenxin walked up.
Everyone looked over curiously, and Fang Yan and the other three also looked at Ning Chenxin with strange expressions.
After all, Ning Chenxin has no breath, and at the same time, he has no sense of existence. He is the most inconspicuous person among Ye Qiubai.
But when Ning Chenxin stood on the chessboard.
Everything has changed.
The chessboard seemed to be shaking!
A low roar sounded from the chessboard!
As Ning Chenxin sat cross-legged on the right side of the chessboard and closed his eyes, a stream of Confucian and Taoist auras came out of his body! These Confucian and Taoist auras condensed into a giant hand behind Ning Chenxin.
I saw a giant hand holding a black stone, and then it landed in the center of the chessboard!
At this moment, opposite Ning Chenxin, among the horrified eyes of everyone, an elegant man wearing a blue Taoist robe slowly emerged.
With a smile on his face, the man said with a smile: "It's been a long time since we played chess. I hope you can make me enjoy myself."
Ning Chenxin looked calm and nodded slightly: "Do your best."
Seeing this, the man held a white piece and attacked the black piece. At the same time, he said: "What do you think of Tao?"
When a child falls, a word is spoken.
The surrounding air seemed to condense, and a mysterious air turned into a breeze blowing on the chessboard!
Ning Chen turned a blind eye and silently picked up the sunspots and dropped them, "At first, I thought that the Tao was to let nature take its course and rule by doing nothing. If too many rules and constraints are imposed on people, it will restrict their freedom. The Tao is to follow the flow. Its natural way.”
The man smiled, raised his hand again, and said, "But you are talking about the beginning, so what about now?"
Ning Chen had no hesitation in his heart. Just like his mood at the moment, he was decisive and resolute. He picked up the sunspot and dropped it.
"What I hear in my ears, what I see in my eyes. Interests, power, breaking the rules and provoking wars for these countless people. This also overturns my idea. Letting nature take its course is just the birth of cowards to excuse their evasive behavior. Idiom." With this move in Ning Chen's heart, he expanded his territory and seemed to want to swallow up all the men's white sons!
“Without certain rules and moral principles, the world will be chaotic and disorderly. If you want peace, you must establish rules!”
As soon as he finished speaking, white light shone on the chessboard. These Confucian and Taoist spirits seemed extremely peaceful before. Now it is like a sharp knife, sharp and full of murderous intent!
Ji Qianyao, Jin Wuwu, Jiang Qingluan... and even Fang Yan were all shocked when they heard these words.
They didn’t expect that this seemingly ordinary scholar would have such courage!
Dare to change the whole world and redefine the rules for the whole world!
What kind of courage is this? !
The man was also slightly moved, and then smiled again. This time there was no defense, but an active attack! He wanted to stop killing with killing and break Ning Chenxin's killing power!
"Establishing rules means breaking the existing rules. Since you want to break and re-establish...this is often what the winners and the strongest do. Since your purpose is different from other ascetics who break the rules, Same, how are you different from them?" The man's words were just like Bai Zi's, like a sharp knife, piercing deeply into Heizi's heart!
“The road to the top is full of corpses. So, your words and your path of Confucianism and Taoism, can I consider it as hypocrisy?”
Ning Chen’s heart fell into silence...n-/o..v./E))l()b--I.)n
Master once discussed similar topics with him.
What did he think at that time?
Coupled with the preaching process over the years...the words the man said are indeed unavoidable.
This also caused Ning Chen to feel hesitant, and the chess pieces that kept falling were also hesitant, sometimes defending, sometimes attacking...
I don’t know how long it took.
Perhaps half a day? Or maybe one day?
The man looked at the black and white pairs on the chessboard, sighed slightly, then raised a white piece and said: "It's time to end..."
Suddenly, Ning Chenxin said: "The purpose is the same, but the process and results are different."
The man's eyes were slightly bright, and he looked at Ning Chenxin, gesturing for him to continue speaking.
“Nothing can have the best of both worlds. Although this road may be full of hypocrisy, as long as you continue to do it, reach the top, and never forget your original intention, then resetting the rules will be enough to complete this unrealistic ideal.”
Speaking of which.
Ning Chen’s heart dropped!
Forced living pieces, the chess situation was suddenly reversed!
The man laughed when he saw this: "Shan! There is no perfect solution in the world, but since you have embarked on this path, the most important thing is to have clear thoughts!"
“My name is Emperor Luan, you can take up my mantle!”
