The next day, Xu Yeyu came to the mission hall.

He looked at the commission area down the mountain and wanted to take two commissions at close locations at once.

But Xu Yeyu looked around and couldn't find any suitable commission.

In fact, most outer disciples would keep an eye on commissions that were located close to each other, and would take them away as soon as they found them.

Who wouldn’t want to go down the mountain to complete two commissions at once and then return to the sect?

"Looking for two commissions with close locations?" Liu Qingfeng walked up to him and asked.

Xu Yeyu nodded.

"These commissions have been snatched away by other disciples, but I have two commissions in similar locations." Liu Qingfeng patted his shoulder, "Are you interested?"

Xu Yeyu was delighted and was about to express his gratitude, but was interrupted by Liu Qingfeng.

"Of course, there is a condition." Liu Qingfeng's eyes flickered with a hint of amusement, "You have to play a few games of Go with me."

Xu Yeyu was stunned. He had only heard of Gobang but had never played it.

He said somewhat awkwardly: "Elder Liu, I don't know how to play Go..."

Liu Qingfeng interrupted Xu Yeyu before he could finish his words.

"You just need to play a few games with me. Even if you don't win, I will entrust these two to you. What do you think?"

"it is good."

Xu Yeyu had no reason to refuse. He could get the commission he wanted by just playing a few games of chess.

No matter how you think about it, it doesn’t hurt.

The two walked to a table nearby. Liu Qingfeng waved his sleeves and a chessboard appeared on the table.

On one side of the chessboard, there is a pot of chess pieces that are as white as snow.

On the other side of the chessboard, there is a pot of chess pieces as deep as ink.

"We take turns placing the pieces, and we can only place them on one empty spot at a time. Once a piece is placed, it cannot be moved to another location."

"You win if you have five of your own pieces in a row, either horizontally, vertically, or diagonally on the board."

Xu Yeyu nodded. This rule was indeed quite simple.

The rule that Elder Liu mentioned has another meaning. If the chessboard is filled and no one can form a series of five pieces, then it is a draw.

After Xu Yeyu left, Liu Qingfeng looked at the black and white chess pieces on the chessboard and fell into deep thought.

They played four games, Liu Qingfeng won two and Xu Yeyu won one.

In the first game, he won after playing five consecutive moves with only a dozen moves, but in the second game, he won after half of the game was over.

The third game was played with a full board and ended in a draw.

But in the fourth game, halfway through the game, he lost.

Liu Qingfeng could tell from the first game that Xu Yeyu really couldn't play Gobang.

But when it came to the third set, he felt the pressure and lost the fourth set directly.

Liu Qingfeng doesn't play chess often, but he is a cultivator in the fifth realm. The higher the cultivator's realm, the stronger his computing power will be.

He could not understand why a disciple who did not know how to play Go could beat him in the fourth game.

A hundred years ago, there was a similar situation where a man who did not know how to play Gobang defeated him after a few games.

That person is the leader of Sunset Sect.

......

......

Two days later.

Xu Yeyu came to a small town. This was not the place where he came to do the commission. He just came here to find an inn to rest.

With his cultivation level at the Foundation Establishment Stage, he cannot fly with a sword for a long time.

Wandering through the streets of the town, he saw a stall selling fruit.

Thinking that he hadn't eaten oranges for a long time, he walked over.

A woman in brocade clothes ran up to him, panting.

"Is there anything wrong?" Xu Yeyu asked.

The woman stopped panting, took a deep breath, lowered her head and said, "Please help me find my daughter. She has been missing for a long time."

"Where did she disappear?" Xu Yeyu asked.

The woman still lowered her head, her voice trembling slightly: "She disappeared on the mountain road outside the town. I was holding her hand at the time, and when I walked out of the woods, I found that my daughter was gone."

The stall owner sighed and said, "Several people have disappeared on the mountain road recently. Why did you take your daughter out of town?"

"Young man, can you help me find my daughter? The reward is negotiable." The woman asked anxiously.

"Tell me the details and I'll try my best to help." Xu Yeyu replied.

Anyway, his two commissions were not in a hurry, and there was still some time before the agreed time, so it didn't matter if he arrived late.

"It seems like he was taken away by a ghost. Several people in the town said they saw a ghost on the mountain road." said the woman in brocade clothes.

"I've heard of this before. Some people have seen the ghosts of their deceased relatives or acquaintances with their own eyes, and they all still look the same as they did before they died."

The stall owner added, “Some people also said that the ghost even talked to them.”

Xu Yeyu nodded. He knew that this kind of ghost was a human-eating ghost.

This kind of ghost is not difficult to deal with. Ordinary cultivators in the Foundation Establishment stage can kill them.

It has a special ability that allows it to transform into the phantom of a dead person. It will become an old friend, relative or acquaintance that is vital to its prey.

People always miss their deceased relatives and always want to communicate with them, so it is easy for them to be fooled by white-haired ghosts and become their food.

"Boss, how much are these oranges?" Xu Yeyu asked.

The stall owner was just about to say that he wouldn't charge any money, saying that a few oranges were not worth much.

What's more, this young man also plans to help them investigate the situation on the other side of the mountain road. He still understands the ways of the world.

The woman in brocade clothes said hastily, "I'll help you pay!"

......

......

Xu Yeyu came to the location the woman in brocade clothes mentioned. Fog covered everything, making his vision blurry.

The outlines of the trees are looming.

Xu Yeyu moved forward step by step, holding Bixia in his hand, and he had already locked onto the ghost.

In a dark corner, a white-haired ghost quietly appeared.

Its body was as thin as a bone, the devil's face was distorted, and its eyes were as dark as the abyss, emitting a terrifying murderous light.

It had a pair of shackles on its hands.

Xu Yeyu thought to himself that perhaps it was because his spiritual awareness was too strong, and with the existence of Linghai and Xiaolan, the evil ghost could not steal his memory.

Ordinary cultivators who have broken through the foundation stage will have their memories stolen by this kind of ghost, and then become important old friends of the prey.

Even though many cultivators knew that the phantom transformed by the white-haired ghost was fake, they were unable to kill the ghost immediately.

Xu Yeyu put away his spiritual sense, and a woman in a light blue dress appeared in front of him.

The woman has a pretty face and a pair of clear eyes that reveal a kind of gentleness.

Her face was somewhat similar to Xu Yeyu. Xu Yeyu looked at the shadow of the woman in front of him. This was his deceased sister.

Just as he guessed, the white-haired ghost transformed into the appearance of his sister.

Xu Yeyu didn't make a move, not because he couldn't do it, but because he was waiting for her to speak, and was somewhat curious about what she would say.

"Xiaoyu, I haven't seen you for a long time." She looked at Xu Yeyu and smiled, "But I'm fake, let's do it."

The white-haired ghost let out a sharp howl, and Bixia pierced its body.

The white-haired ghost's body began to disintegrate, slowly dissipating into countless white spots of light, and the fog between the woods also disappeared.

Behind a tree, there was a little girl lying unconscious. She was the missing daughter of the woman in brocade clothes.

The white-haired ghost will not eat humans directly. It will first corrode their consciousness and then slowly taste them.

If it had been half a day later, the little girl would probably have been eaten, just like the people who had gone missing in the town before.

Xu Yeyu put the little girl on Bixia and walked towards the town.
