Snow Moon City

In front of Sikong Changfeng was a warm and transparent chessboard, which seemed to be polished with fine white jade.He picked up a white piece, pondered for a moment, and slowly landed on the chessboard.Just about to turn back and pick up another sunspot.But there was a hole on the chessboard out of thin air, accompanied by the sound of jade being crushed.

Sikong Changfeng twitched Heizi's hand for a while, sighed, threw Heizi back into the chess box, and said, "If you want to play chess with me, sit in front of me and play seriously. Don't destroy me every time you play chess." A chessboard."

"You are leisurely." A voice came from the void, the voice seemed male and not male, female and not female.Suddenly it is close to the ear, and sometimes it seems to be far away in the sky, which is really hard to hear.

The man ignored Sikong Changfeng's complaint and said, "They're gone."

"Ah."

"Are you so relieved?"

Sikong Changfeng picked up a white piece again, twirled it between his fingers, and said, "Hanyi, you said that if you want to play a game of chess, the piece is more important than the player."

Li Hanyi was silent for a moment, then said: "If there are no chess pieces, there are people who are useless. If there are no chess players, the chess pieces are useless. What do you want to say?"

Sikong Changfeng shook the wine glass, put it in front of his eyes, looked at the rippling wine inside, and said leisurely: "Someone is playing a game of chess."

Li Hanyi immediately understood: "Are they chess pieces?"

"You and I too."

Li Hanyi was startled: "The entire Central Plains martial arts?"

Sikong Changfeng smiled, poured the wine in his cup, and said: "It's more than that. The 36 factions outside the territory are also among them. It's just that this game of chess has just begun, and the player and his intentions are still unclear."

Li Hanyi snorted coldly: "Arrogance."

"It's indeed arrogant, but I'm a little interested. Does this person have such a big appetite, and does he have the resourcefulness worthy of his ambition. After all, he picked the most difficult bone to attack."

"Wait and see what happens?" Li Hanyi asked.

Sikong Changfeng smiled and said: "Naturally, Xiao Se and that monk are top-ranked people, and I'm afraid it won't be long before you and I can get ahead of you and me. If they can't solve it, we may not be able to. In order to give us these Save some face for the old guy, and leave the young people's affairs to the young people."

On the official road, a group of six people sat in the carriage and hurried on the road slowly, without a sense of tension threatening danger, they looked like ordinary passers-by who went out to visit the mountains and rivers.The road ahead was dangerous. Although they were well prepared, they didn't rush to jump into the fire pit. None of them were fools, so naturally they could drag it out for a day.

Lei Wujie was sitting outside driving the carriage, looking back at the two figures, one blue and one white, in the carriage from time to time.He moved closer to Tang Lian who was sitting on the side, and asked in a low voice, "Brother, what are we going to do?"

Tang Lian looked at him amusedly, and asked, "If you don't know what to do, just follow along. What if you are asked to kill and set fire?"

"That's impossible." Lei Wujie waved his hand and almost blurted out, "If you say that the monk is ostentatious and narcissistic, I have no objection. But if you say that he will do such outrageous things, I will be the first to not believe it."

Tang Lian was a little dazed, and she was stunned for a moment before she nodded numbly and said: "That's true." At the end he added: "Actually, I don't know what their plans are."

Seeing him, Lei Wujie seemed to have found a confidant. He patted Tang Lian on the shoulder and comforted him, "Actually, it doesn't matter if you don't know. Xiao Se and Wuxin have always been like this. I'm afraid no one can guess it except themselves. What are they thinking. But after all, they are not ordinary people, we just need to follow them."

……

Seven days later, thirty miles outside Tianqi City, Fanruo Temple.

In the Buddhist hall, an old monk in a gray robe sits cross-legged on a futon, gently taps the wooden fish with his left hand, and twirls Buddhist beads with his right hand.Eyes closed, lips parted.There was a Sanskrit sound.

He was reciting scriptures to settle down, but suddenly his heart moved and he opened his eyes.Looking thoughtfully at the Buddha statue in front of him.Sighing, he said, "At this time, the last thing I want to see is you."

Wuxin paused, Shi Shiran came over, said with a three-pointed smile: "Uncle Wangchou's words really made my nephew so sad." After speaking, he was already sitting beside Wangchou.

"Could it be that my uncle also thinks that I killed Yan Zhantian?"

Wangchou turned around and sat opposite him.

"You want peace, but many people don't want you to be peaceful. If I were you, I would go back to Tianwaitian immediately. Across the desert and ice field, no matter how fearful the Central Plains people are, they can't get over it. Although you will never come back to the Central Plains , but outside the territory, let you feel free."

Wuxin shook her head and said: "I knew you would say that. But you should also know that although I don't care about other people's evaluation of me, I am not willing to be tricked by others. Your path may be a perfect solution, but I I won’t choose. Besides, the Central Plains is so interesting, I’m really reluctant to let me not enter the Central Plains.”

Wangchou said: "Then why are you looking for me now?"

Wuxin looked up at the golden Buddha statue, the Buddha always had that smile on his face, kind and lenient, compassionate and compassionate.Everything in the world is the same in his eyes. This is the kindness of the Buddha, but it is also the indifference of the Buddha.Wuxin raised a faint smile and said: "It's nothing, but although I don't want to be restrained by others, I also know that the journey is difficult and dangerous. You are my few elders in the Central Plains. So I thought I should come and see you .”

Wangchou paused for a while while twisting the Buddhist beads, looked up at Wuxin, shook her head and said, "After all, I'm still a young man. I still only have that one problem. You don't regret dying?"

Wuxin said word by word: "I don't regret it."

Wangchou waved his sleeves and closed his eyes: "Let's go."

Wuxin stood up, clasped his hands together, and performed a standard Buddhist salute towards Wangchou.After a long time, he brushed off his clothes, seeming to have swept away the last layer of shackles and scruples on his body, and restored that calm smile, and said

"Uncle, I don't want to say goodbye."

After leaving the gate of the temple, Xiao Se and the others were waiting at the gate. Seeing him coming out, they walked down the mountain together.

Xiao Se looked at Wuxin for a moment, then casually said: "Actually, you don't need to be in such a hurry. It won't be too late to pay a visit to your uncle after this matter is over."

Wuxin tilted her head to look at him, smiled, raised her eyebrows and said briskly, "That's right."

The six people got into the carriage and did not rush on their way.After finishing the unintentional private affairs, it's time to talk about business.

Xiao Se took out a piece of paper from his sleeve, spread it flat on the table, pointed to a dot on it, and said, "This is Ji Xue's reply letter. Yan Zhantian's body is in the yizhuang in Hongdu Town. She has rushed there Waiting for us." He rolled his eyes and looked at Ye Ruoyi, "This trip is dangerous, it's inconvenient for Ruoyi to follow, and I have more important things for you."

Ye Ruoyi's expression froze, and said, "You mean..."

Xiao Se nodded and said: "Yan Zhantian is my second brother's master, Tianqi City will never sit idly by when he was murdered by others. In order to prevent us from being caught off guard, I need you to help me keep an eye on the movement of the man in the palace." .”

His arrangement was reasonable, and among the few people present, only Ye Ruoyi's return to Tianqi at this time would not attract too much attention.

Ye Ruoyi nodded in agreement.

Wuxin smiled and said: "You have arranged it so well, it seems that I am a bit redundant."

Xiao Se squinted at him, put away the map on the table, and said coolly: "Excessive? You don't have to think so, the next thing we meet is all aimed at you."

Wuxin spread her arms, and said calmly: "It's okay, I can pass it three years ago, and I can pass it three years later. This kind of attention is something that I am used to. I just take this opportunity to let the people of Jianghu see what they say is the first chapter of the magic way." One case. Otherwise, the people of the Central Plains will really think that everyone in the Demon Sect in my world will be punished."

If these words were uttered from other people's mouth, it would definitely make people feel extremely arrogant.It makes sense to say it out of Wuxin's mouth.

After discussing the countermeasures, the six soldiers divided into two groups, and Ye Ruoyi rode straight to Tianqi.Lei Wujie still drove the carriage for the remaining five people, and they rushed towards Hongdu Town quietly.

Hongdu Town is a remote town in Beili, far away from the imperial city, surrounded by mountains, which is easy to defend and difficult to attack.There are many business trips, but few people in the martial arts world.

The carriage traveled unhurriedly for most of the day, the sun was setting to the west, and the sky was gradually getting dark.At the end of the path, there was a simple tea stand propped up with bamboo poles and rainproof cloth. Lei Wujie turned around and asked the opinion of the carriage.Pulling the reins, he slowly approached the tea stand.

Xu Shi was already at dusk, and Xu Shi had no pedestrians on the road.There are no customers in the tea stand.Only the wisps of white mist rising from the charcoal stove seemed a little depressed.

Five people ordered tea and sat around the table.

The owner of the tea stand is a little girl who looks only twenty-eight.A head of black hair was neatly tied back.Wearing a coarse white dress, her body looks a little thin, but her complexion is very ruddy.There was an aura of aura on the unpainted face, especially those eyes, which were sharp and sharp.

She carried a teapot and poured water for five people one by one. When she spoke, her voice was clear and bright like a lark.She asked: "Where are the guest officers going?"

Lei Wujie has always been an acquaintance. Seeing that the girl is pretty, she scratched her head in embarrassment, and replied: "We are going to Hongdu Town, girl, have you heard of it?"

"I haven't heard of it in Hongdu Town. But the road ahead, you can't go."

Xiao Se's face darkened, and he looked up at her.

Tang Lian also pinched the fingertip knife between her two fingers.Sikong Qianluo's fingers touched the Silver Moon Spear that was placed aside.

Only Wuxin still smiled unabated, and asked: "Oh? Why?"

The little girl didn't even raise her eyelids, and continued pouring water, as if she couldn't feel the dark tide around her.He said calmly: "Because the road ahead is not easy to walk, and it's getting dark soon. Once it's dark, you can't see the road clearly. If you accidentally slip your feet, you might fall into the water. "

Xiao Se took a deep look at her, and asked in a deep voice, "What if we insist on leaving?"

Auntie Liang was holding the pot, staring at him with a pair of dark eyes, and said with a smile: "If you all insist on leaving, I will naturally not stop you. But I have a suggestion."

"what?"

"Today is the first quarter moon."

----------

As Sikong Changfeng said, this incident was not just for Wuxin.You can guess who is playing chess. (No prize for guessing right)

The conversation between Tang Lian and Lei Wujie in the middle can actually be deleted, but I kept it because I think Tang Lian is a very conflicted person. The question seems to be asking Lei Wujie, but also asking himself.That's why he was in a trance for a moment afterwards.
