Two treasure maps

Ever since Mo Yan returned to his quiet Mo Residence, he has been immersed in deep thought about the current situation like an ascetic monk. The situation is like an intricate jigsaw puzzle, each piece seems to have its own position and shape, but there is always a piece missing, making the whole seem incomplete, and there are always some unclear places.

He sat quietly in front of the window. The wind outside the window blew gently, bringing a little coolness, but it could not blow away the fog in his heart. He reached out and took the chessboard from the desk beside him. He held the black chess piece in his left hand and the white chess piece in his right hand. The black and white chess pieces seemed to represent the duel between him and Jiangshan, and also symbolized the doubts and explorations in his heart.

With his amazing memory, he began to review the match with Jiang Shan. His fingertips gently slid across the chessboard, and each move was like the doubts in his heart, unfolding bit by bit. As he moved the chess pieces, his brows slightly frowned, as if he had discovered something. That flaw, like a crack, quietly appeared in his originally perfect chess game.

It turned out that Jiang Shan was not telling the truth. Mo Yan recalled the scene at that time. Jiang Shan's eyes flickered and his tone was hesitant. At that moment, his Tao heart was already in chaos. Tao heart is the foundation of a cultivator. Once it is in chaos, it means that there are untrue words in his heart.

He recalled their conversation, which was about him wanting to use the spiritual energy in Li Jing'an's secret realm to make up for the missing spiritual energy in the Red Dragon Pond. It was a seemingly simple and feasible plan, but why did Jiang Shan hide it? Why did his Tao heart become unstable at that moment?

Mo Yan sat silently in front of the chessboard, thinking for a while, and finally thought of a possibility. Jiang Shan said that he had been to the Red Dragon Pond and saw the Sin Dragon, maybe it was just a lie. Someone might have told Jiang Shan about the little red dragon's condition under the Red Dragon Pond, and that person was probably the East Sea Jade Dragon. But why did the East Sea Jade Dragon target Guo Lingli? What role did Guo Lingli play in this matter?

Mo Yan stopped moving his chess pieces. He picked up a white chess piece representing the Jiangshan chess game and played with it gently in his hands. His eyes were deep and complicated. He knew that this chess game was much more complicated than he had imagined, and he had to take every step carefully to find the truth.

Since the key to the matter seemed to revolve around Li Jing'an, Mo Yan sorted out all the situations of Li Jing'an in his mind. The old site of Li Jing'an on Panshan Mountain is now a solemn Buddhist temple - Wansong Temple. There, Buddhist practitioners practiced peacefully and lived in harmony with the world.

Mo Yan pondered, if the Buddhists knew nothing about the existence of Li Jing'an's secret realm, if they accidentally broke into it this time, wouldn't they lead the Buddhists into this secret realm? If the secret realm was occupied by Buddhists, Li Jing'an, a Taoist cultivator, would not sit idly by and would definitely investigate the matter. And by then, in addition to Jiangshan, he, the supervisor of the land, would also be blamed, which would be a loss.

Thinking of this, Mo Yan couldn't help but frown. Who was behind Jiang Shan's actions? What was their purpose? Did Jiang Shan not consider the stakes? Or did he know it was impossible but still did it, and wanted to use this as an excuse to force those immortals who were once in the immortal class and now retired to the Taoist mountain to come out?

Mo Yan's hand fell gently, and a white piece landed steadily on the chessboard. He didn't know whether he was thinking too much or not thinking carefully enough. As the heir that the Jade Emperor had focused on training, Jiang Shan should not make such an obvious mistake. Or, is he really a hidden Taoist? Although he would not do such an extreme thing as killing his wife to prove his truth, he is definitely not a simple character that can be seen through at a glance.

Mo Yan fell into deep thought. This matter seemed not as simple as it seemed. Jiang Shan deliberately leaked the news. Was it because he couldn't break the deadlock, so he wanted to use external forces to break the deadlock? And he might be the external force he was looking for.

Thinking of this, Mo Yan showed a determined look on his face. He knew that what he had to do next was to change the situation and get everything back on track.

Now, the situation has become complicated, with Buddhists, demons, mortals, and the Heavenly Master Sect all involved, each with their own agenda, trying to seek their own interests in this dispute. How easy is it to find a reasonable solution to such a chaotic situation?

Mo Yan sat in front of the chessboard, his eyes sharp. He gently picked up a black piece and slowly dropped it on the densely packed area of ​​the white pieces on the chessboard. This black piece, just like his current situation, was tightly surrounded by the various conspiracies and calculations of the white pieces, and it was difficult to break out. However, the black piece was not without life. It only needed to find a suitable opportunity to break out.

Mo Yan had a plan in mind. He knew that to break the deadlock, he needed to use some influential local events or legends. After all, didn't the other party use the legend that Little Red Dragon was the son of Ao Bing and had a deep grudge with Nezha who caused trouble in the sea to provoke the crisis in Li Jing'an's secret realm? He also had to find a legend to fight against this legend and defeat magic with magic.

Mo Yan knew that he needed to use the psychological beliefs of mortals to defeat this legendary connection. After all, in this world, the power of belief is extremely strong. As long as he could find a legend that could resonate with mortals, he could use it to break the existing situation.

However, it is not easy to break the game. Mo Yan's thoughts fell on the chessboard again, and he began to ponder the game between the black and white pieces in his mind. If the white piece wants to be eliminated, what should it give up? What should it occupy? These questions circled in Mo Yan's mind. He knew that he had to make the right choice to win this game.

As time passed, Mo Yan's expression became more and more serious. He knew that every decision he made could affect the direction of the entire situation. However, he did not back down, but instead strengthened his belief. He believed that as long as he persisted, he would be able to find the key to breaking the situation.

Mo Yan did not show any anxiety in the face of what others saw as trouble. Instead, a glimmer of excitement flashed in his eyes. He knew very well that situations that were clear at a glance and not challenging often failed to inspire his thinking. However, the dispute before him seemed to contain a deep mystery, which gave him a strong desire to explore.

He closed his eyes and began to assume that he was Jiang Shan. If he knew that he would cause chaos between Buddhism and Taoism, what would he do in the first place? Mo Yan pondered and gradually came up with the answer in his mind. Jiang Shan, the once powerful being, might choose to pretend to retire in order to conceal his true intentions and secretly observe the development of the situation.

And what about Qingyue Tianshi? Mo Yan couldn't help but frowned when he thought of him. Qingyue Tianshi was originally a member of the Heavenly Court, but at this moment he seemed to be in trouble and it was difficult for him to return to the Heavenly Court. It seemed that they had already made a desperate plan and were determined to promote this dispute at all costs.

So, what kind of behind-the-scenes mastermind is pushing them to do this? Mo Yan's heart is full of doubts. This behind-the-scenes mastermind seems to have killed three birds with one stone, not only causing big trouble for himself, but also making it impossible for the Heavenly Court to stay out of it, and successfully provoking a war between Buddhism and Taoism. What is their purpose?
