Dusk Returns to the Ruined Building

When black and white pieces are placed, life and death become mysterious.

In the vast twilight, Ouyang Zhiqing became the person watching the chess game. She didn't understand chess, but she knew that there was a chessboard in the Ji family's imperial city in Zhongzhou that could control the whole world, and it was in Yinyanju.

When heroes from all over the world enter the imperial city, everyone wants to walk into the secluded residence in the ginkgo forest, play chess, and ask about the world's situation!

When Shen Yichen and Murong Ruoxi were engaged, Murong Rongbo entered Zhongzhou and walked into Yinyanju, where he played a game of chess that he would never forget.

Murong Yanbo clearly remembered that when he walked out of Yinyanju, he fell at the door and could not stand up for a long time. Before he left, he also read the couplet:

There is order hidden in the darkness, hiding the chess of the world;

Between mountains and rivers, the world is laid out.

More than ten years later, he really embarked on this path, hiding himself from the world, entering the world, and planning for the world!

Murong Yanbo still remembered what Ji Xuanyan said to him back then:

"You failed because you didn't read the couplet at the door before entering!"

In the long pavilion in the twilight, Murong Yanbo felt as if he was in a chess game, just like he did back then. Moving forward was killing, retreating was killing, escaping was killing, and fighting to the death was also killing.

Every chess piece of Ji Xuanyan in black exudes murderous intent. Facing the murderous intent, facing the endless murderous intent, how could Murong Yanbo not be moved and confused? He can hold on to one, two, three pieces... but there will always be a time when he can't hold on.

Just like he did back then, Murong Lunbo finally didn't dare to reach out. He hadn't lost yet, and the chance of winning was even greater. However, he didn't dare to place the chess piece, and didn't even dare to put the chess piece on the board.

Ouyang Zhiqing was really shocked. Of course, she felt the fear emanating from Murong Yanbo, but this chess game was just normal! And Ji Xuanyan in black was still drinking tea leisurely. The tea she brought was still so fragrant and elegant.

Murong Yanbo sat quietly for a very long time, until the dusk faded away and the night entered the long pavilion.

"Senior, I am grateful to you for teaching me again!"

Murong Lunbo slowly stood up and watched the chess game as a bystander. He still couldn't see clearly and he couldn't feel where the murderous intent came from.

For some reason, Murong Yan Bojue's murderous intent came from his own heart!

"When playing chess in this world, the first thing to look at is the right time. When I taught you, I told you to read the couplets before you got started. What about you? You read the couplets after you got started, and you still used them more than ten years later. If you miss the right time, you are doomed to fail!"

Murong Yanbo was stunned when he heard this, and was really shocked in his heart. It was obvious that Ji Xuanyan in black saw through his real purpose of hiding in the world.

"Time waits for no one, I have no choice!"

Ji Xuanyan in black also stood up and looked at the waning moon and sparse stars.

"I won't beat around the bush when talking to you. I won't kill you today, but there are conditions!"

Murong Yanbo smiled slightly but did not respond. He seemed to know that he was not here to kill him today.

"I know that the people of Kongxu Mansion have been protecting you in secret, but you won't fight to the death with me, right?"

Murong Yanbo took two steps back in shock, but he quickly regained his composure and bowed:

"Senior, please speak!"

Ouyang Zhiqing looked at Murong Lunbo. Of course, she had never heard of the name of Kongxu Mansion.

"Lend me the same painting you got when you traveled to Yanquan when you were young!"

Murong Lunbo was stunned for a moment, because the condition seemed too simple. He did not respond, but just quietly looked at the back of Ji Xuanyan in black. He was waiting for Ji Xuanyan in black's exchange conditions.

"The Murong family's purple jade Xuan Ring is actually divided into two parts: the purple jade and the Xuan Ji Ring. The exchange condition is that I can tell you where the Xuan Ji Ring is!"

Murong Yanbo was stunned, because he really didn't know that the Purple Jade Mysterious Ring was divided into two parts.

This is not Murong Lunbo's fault, because when the Goddess Zixia left Youzhou a thousand years ago, she destroyed all the information related to her, including the Purple Jade Mysterious Ring!

Now Murong Yanbo always thought that the thing in the vast ocean was the Purple Jade Mysterious Ring.

"Senior, do you mean that there is a purple jade ring inside the vast sea?"

"I didn't say that. Do you agree?"

Murong Yanbo took out a painting from his storage bag and placed it on the chessboard.

Ji Xuanyan in black turned around, opened the painting, and a smile appeared between her eyebrows.

Those are two paintings, the inner painting is the painting entering the shadow, and the outer painting is the painting exiting the shadow.

Ji Xuanyan in black handed the inner painting to Ouyang Zhiqing, and then threw the outer painting out of the pavilion, floating in the air and constantly growing larger.

"Qing girl, smile at the painting, let me see!"

Ouyang Zhiqing didn’t know what Ji Xuanyan in black was up to, so she could only smile at the painting but didn’t take off her veil.

In the floating external painting, Ouyang Zhiqing actually did smile, it was as real as looking in a mirror!

Ouyang Zhiqing's face was filled with shock!

"Qing girl, take off your veil!"

Ouyang Zhiqing did not move this time, but her veil was still gone. Of course, it was Ji Xuanyan in black who did it.

"Not bad, not bad, I like this magic weapon very much. If you die, I won't return the Tongyinghua to you!"

Ji Xuanyan in black put away the painting. I wonder if she was joking with Murong Yanbo or was she speaking from her heart?

But Murong Yanbo didn't care, because the Tongying painting was of little use to him. He originally wanted to give it to Murong Ruoxi, so that he could take a look at her when he wanted to see her, and then forget about it!

Murong Rongbo has high hopes for Murong Ruoxi, so the two of them must enjoy solitude.

"Senior, it's your turn!"

"Xuan Jihuan is at Yanquan Chenlingdu!"

Murong Lunbo could only choose to believe!

After the black-clothed Ji Xuanyan finished speaking, she sat down beside the chessboard again and began to watch the game in silence. After a long time, she finally spoke:

"This is going to be a little difficult for you, but you will agree to it in the end, so don't be surprised!"

Ji Xuanyan in black was talking to Murong Lunbo, but the person she was looking at was Ouyang Zhiqing. Her intention was to ask Ouyang Zhiqing to stay calm. But Ouyang Zhiqing didn't understand. What did the transaction between the Ji family and the Murong family have to do with her?

Ji Xuanyan in black picked up the black and white chess pieces, placed them in her palms, and kept fiddling with them, seeming to be hesitating.

Murong Yanbo just waited quietly like that, without any emotion.

"Not bad, not bad. After being the head of a family for decades, your character has been well cultivated. I would like to borrow your daughter to help me do something. Of course, it is also to help yourself!"

This time Murong Lunbo's heart moved. It was obvious that this matter was very important, otherwise Ji Xuanyan in black would not be like this!

After Murong Yanbo pondered for a long time, he responded softly:

"Senior, please speak!"

"Your daughter has a face that is the most beautiful in the world, so her beauty should belong to all living beings. Three days later, I want her to dance naked on the top of Jianying Tower to welcome heroes from all over the world!"

Ouyang Zhiqing's expression really changed, and her mouth opened wide. If Ji Xuanyan in black hadn't greeted her in advance, she would have really screamed out.

Murong Yanbo's expression also changed, but the first sentence he asked was:

"The Tianji Pavilion has been in Yingzhou for nearly 500 years, and it actually belongs to the Ji family. Senior, this should be your move, right?"

"Ouch, I still underestimated you!"

Murong Yanbo sighed, turned around and looked at the waning moon and light clouds. His heart ached, his spirit was hurt, and his heart was desolate!

After a long time, Murong Yanbo sighed:

"How many pawns of the Ji family are there in Youzhou? For a thousand years, the Ji family has always been thinking about the world, but what about us? It's ridiculous, ridiculous, to fight over a small Youzhou!"

"Okay, I know you want your daughter to grow up as quickly as possible, but for a woman to grow up, it is far from enough to just experience life and death in the martial arts world. The love and hatred in the mortal world are also very important!"

Ji Xuanyan in black took a sip of herbal tea, smiled slightly, and continued:

"And don't you think my proposal is exciting? Ji Qingyun's daughter-in-law dances naked for the world, hahahaha... my blood is boiling. His son falls in love with your daughter, don't you want to see how this father and son will react?"

Ji Xuanyan in black looked at the black and white chess pieces in her hands, moving them back and forth constantly. She seemed to be very confused as well.

Ouyang Zhiqing had beads of sweat on her back and forehead at this moment, she was really terrified!

Ji Xuanyan in black actually attacked Shen Yichen, and the woman she loved deeply was hers. This was more painful for him than if she had attacked Shen Yichen himself!

The key point is, this is too sudden. Ji Xuanyan in black has always been very, very good to Shen Yichen. At this time, Ouyang Zhiqing finally knows what is behind the evil eyes of Ji Xuanyan in black?

Ouyang Zhiqing thought of herself again, because Ji Xuanyan in black had once looked at her with that kind of look!

"You, you, are you crazy? If he knew, would he forgive you?"

"Oh, Qing girl, the wine from Mugui Pavilion really made you feel emotional. But it's good to be emotional, maybe that's more interesting!"

Ji Xuanyan in black was fiddling with the black and white chess pieces in her hand faster and faster. She was asking Qi Yuxin, is there really a difference between black and white?

Ouyang Zhiqing staggered and held onto the pillar beside her. She understood that when she first met Murong Ruoxi in Furong Town, Ji Xuanyan in black had already planned everything, so she must be planning something when she approached her!

Ouyang Zhiqing decided that she must leave Ji Xuanyan in black, and it had to be tonight!

After Murong Yanbo pondered for a long time, he said softly:

"Since Ji Qingyun is still alive, Senior, I will help you in this game. You owe me a favor. No! You owe Xixi a favor!"

"Tsk, are you negotiating with me? Are you worthy? The woman in Ziyun Divine Pavilion is the reason why you must agree! Murong Yanqing doesn't dare to touch her, but the Ji family does. Either the drunk beauty dances naked for the world, or the woman in Ziyun Divine Pavilion enters the brothel alone. You can choose one of the two!"

"you……!"

Murong Lunbo suddenly turned around and looked at Ji Xuanyan in black angrily.

"Since you have chosen to leave Youzhou, you should understand that you cannot control anything. This is the Ji family's punishment for you, without any conditions!"

Ji Xuanyan in black turned around and looked at Ouyang Zhiqing, who was a little distraught, and said with a smile:

"Qing girl, have you discovered that sometimes living is more painful than dying? Revenge doesn't mean that the enemy must die, but that they must live in pain, and they must be strong enough to live in pain. Have you thought about it? I can help you, too!"

At the long pavilion in the twilight, Ouyang Zhiqing and Murong Lunbo were both plunged into endless darkness, feeling cold and lonely!
