People are singing in the tide, but there is no crown

Ling An raised his claws gracefully and put the wailing bird back into the silent area of ​​the gourd.

It is impossible to fly by yourself, you can only sit there and cry like a bird of prey.

After all, summoning an afterimage of the level of the Screaming Bird in the outside world would not cause too much disturbance.

Most people would think that this was the sound he conquered.

If you were to come in person, the shock would be completely different.

The pavilion is located on a snow-covered hillside directly opposite the circular ruins.

Ling An looked up and saw a chessboard in the pavilion.

"I didn't expect you to come so quickly." Changli's voice came from behind.

She walked gracefully to Ling An and Chao Mei and smiled gently.

"How did you know we were here?"

Chang Li smiled sweetly, looked at Ling An and raised his eyebrows slightly: "With such a big commotion, I'm afraid it would be difficult for me not to know about it."

She knew who Ai Shengying belonged to.

Ling An glanced at her, and just as he was about to look away, he glanced at her again.

Noticing something was wrong, he quickly said, "Really? I think I've been very low-key."

His actions were naturally seen by Chang Li, who also teased him, "Patrol Officer Ling An, is there something dirty on me?"

Feeling the pressure from Chao Mei's eyes, Ling An explained calmly, "Nothing, I forgot to turn off the automatic enemy search again."

"Automatically search for the enemy?" Chang Li asked doubtfully.

"Well, my cat is naturally alert. It is well known that the Sound Trace of Resonators will react when they are in battle. As a residual elephant, it makes sense for me to lock onto the Sound Trace at all times."

Chaomei was just about to speak when she suddenly felt the sound mark on the back of her right hand move. She looked at her sound mark and suddenly the white fluffy Abu jumped out from the sound mark.

“I feel like I’ve missed a lot.” Abu stretched and said sleepily.

"Is this the little guy mentioned in the Huaxu Research Institute's report?" Chang Li looked at Abu and said.

Before Chao Mei could speak, Abu floated in the air with his hands on his hips and said proudly, "Yes, it's me!"

Then it sniffed gently and looked around suspiciously. When it saw Ling An, its eyes lit up instantly.

"Brother, brother..."

Ling An quickly jumped away, waved his hand and refused: "Don't come over, who is your brother?"

"Of course it's you!" Abu floated towards Ling An little by little, and said familiarly, "Brother, why do I feel like you seem to have become more fragrant? Hey, don't worry, I won't eat you."

Ling An looked alert: "Really? Then why is your stomach growling?"

"I'm just hungry after sleeping for too long!" Abu scratched his head and said with a silly look on his face.

"Then why are you drooling!" Ling An questioned his soul again.

"Well...of course it's because I'm hungry!" Before he finished speaking, Abu dived towards Ling An.

Ling An had anticipated Abu's action. He took a step back and a golden light came out of the gourd to block in front of him.

Abu squinted his eyes happily, feeling that he was hugging Ling An. He rubbed his head against him and spoke repeatedly.

“Brother, my little kitty brother…why does it feel like your skin has become rough?”

Ling An landed on the chessboard deftly, looked at Abu who was enjoying and dazed while holding the Power of Stepping Light, and replied with a smile:

"Really? I forgot to take care of it recently."

"Is that so? Then brother, why is your breathing so heavy?"

"I'm a little excited to be hugged by you."

"Brother, why is your beard so prickly?"

"I forgot to trim it recently, please be considerate."

"Hehe, brother, brother, why is your mouth so big..."

"wrong!"

Abu reacted immediately and opened his eyes.

The Power of Stepping on Light stared at it with its two big eyes as bright as lanterns, and exhaled bursts of hot air from its nose.

Roar! ! !

Abu was startled and quickly retreated to Chao Mei's side: "Oh my god, my brother has mutated!"

"Puff!" Two equally uncontrollable laughs rang out in the snow. Chao Mei and Chang Li looked at each other and said to Ling An who was behind Stepping on the Light, "Okay, let's get down to business."

Ling An chuckled and raised his hand to take back the power of stepping on light.

He looked at Abu: "How about it, do you like this little kitten?"

"call--"

Abu patted his chest with an anthropomorphic look on his face and said, "I wasn't scared at all. I could have eaten that monster just now with just one mouth. I was just too lazy to move my mouth."

With these two funny guys igniting the atmosphere, the snow seemed to become a lot warmer for a while.

Chang Li walked to the chessboard with a smile and said to Chao Mei: "I invited you here this time out of selfish motives. I hope you can forgive me."

Seeing Chao Mei waving her hand generously, she looked silently at the chessboard and whispered, "Do you still remember this black chess piece?"

Chaomei took a step forward, bent down and looked at it carefully.

After a long moment, she shook her head.

"Is that so..." A hint of loneliness flashed across Chang Li's eyes. She continued, "The legend of the secret method of immortality in Chengxiao Mountain, the old man just said it was not specific."

Without waiting for a response, she looked at the snowy scene and said to herself, "More than a hundred years ago, a cultivator met a strange man in Chengxiao Mountain. The two traveled together and became close friends regardless of age. They often played chess in the mountains..."

"Even a woodcutter passing by was attracted by their chess game and stopped to watch. The woodcutter was so fascinated that he didn't even notice that the rope of the backpack was broken, and accidentally disturbed the chessboard..."

As Chang Li spoke, he looked back at Chao Mei with a determined look: "And the stranger was not angry at the woodcutter's recklessness. Instead, he poured him a cup of tea, escorted him down the mountain, and protected him from the influence of time and lifespan. After that, the stranger disappeared..."

"Many years have passed since then. The practitioner at that time had already become a respected hermit. When he returned to Chengxiao Mountain in his old age, he met the strange man again. The two played chess again. It is said that the secret of immortality is hidden in this last game of chess."

Changli slowly stopped narrating, his eyes flickering, seeming a little sad, yet hiding a hint of joy.

Her words completed the beginning that Ling An and Chao Mei had not heard just now, and also told the complete legend of the secret method of longevity in Chengxiao Mountain.

"Could it be this game of chess?" Chaomei asked curiously.

Hearing this, Chang Li shook his head slightly: "Yes and no, this game of chess is just a reproduction of the chess record of that year. Time is always like this, making everything unreal, even the legend is the same, but there is a saying that is circulated in the chess record..."

At this point, Changli's eyes met Chaomei's and he said softly, "The chess manual says that this game may be able to resolve the chaos of the times."

"Interesting, I won!" A voice came from the chessboard, and it was Ling An who was speaking.

Chang Li was stunned and looked at Ling An: "Have you solved the chess game?"

Ling An looked confused: "What chess game?"

Opposite him, Abu was floating in the air with a look of dejection on his face, saying repeatedly, "No more playing, no more playing, I lost again."

Confused and shocked, Chang Li looked at the chessboard.

In his sight, Ling An was squatting in the black position. On the chessboard in front of him, five black pieces were connected in a straight line.

Ling An scratched his head curiously: "Isn't this Gobang?"
