Gu Anning has limited time and cannot stay in the mission for too long.

After targeting the Zhenlong chess game, he left the suburbs and went to look for the chess club Duan Yu was talking about.

The information given by Duan Yu was limited, so Gu Anning could only inquire about the news in person.

He took out a light yellow oil-paper umbrella to block the sun above his head, and stood lightly in the middle of the road.Occasionally, girls passing by would put their eyes on him, but Gu Anning ignored them all, and after staring blankly for a while, went to an elegant teahouse in the city.

There is a faint incense burning in the teahouse, which can be judged from the aroma alone, and the style here is not low.

There are several small rooms separated by a screen, and a high-quality lyre is placed next to the futon in the front. There are not many guests in the afternoon, and it is just placed there quietly without anyone playing.

Gu Anning put away the umbrella, looked around, and saw chess pieces scattered in the private room.

Just as he was about to pass by, the boy in the store came over first, "Is this the first time this customer is here? If you need anything, please just ask the boy."

Gu Anning nodded absent-mindedly, "Maybe you play chess here?"

"Of course it's possible, but..." The boy looked at his expression and confirmed that Gu Anning didn't come here to drink tea, and he was not familiar with this place at all, so he said tactfully: "Have you made an appointment with friends? Arrange a private room?"

"Only me." Gu Anning replied.

He finally noticed that there were not many people playing chess here, and most of them gathered in twos and threes to drink tea, and the excitement in his heart was half gone.

When you go outside, you are still playing chess with yourself. Compared with playing in the mansion, what is the difference?

The servant saw that Gu Anning was not in high spirits, so he quickly recommended, "Our private room has a quiet environment. Seeing that you are not like ordinary people, I really admire and respect you. If you are willing to go there, I will How about asking the shopkeeper to accommodate me and give you a plate of pastries?"

Gu Anning shook her head, "Do you know where Zhenlong Chess is?"

Before the servant could answer, a guest asked, "Do you want to try Zhenlong Chess Game?"

Gu Anning nodded.

The sound of cloth rubbing against each other was heard, and the next moment, a tall middle-aged man walked out from behind the screen.

He was wearing a gray robe, his hair was tied neatly, his lips were slightly bearded, and he had a gentle expression on his face.

The moment the middle-aged man came out, Gu Anning saw the scattered chess pieces on the chessboard through the gap, and couldn't help feeling a sense of sympathy in his heart.

"The Zhenlong chess game is presided over by the old man Congbian of Leigu Mountain. If you want to go, you might as well go directly to the Deaf and Mute Valley of Leigu Mountain." He said.

Gu Anning frowned, "Where is this place?"

The middle-aged man was stunned. He didn't expect that the young man who looked like a beautiful young man didn't even know this.

"Luoyang." The middle-aged man said, "My name is Fan Bailing, and I have gained a little in chess. If you don't dislike it, why don't you go to Leigu Mountain with me as a companion?"

"Very good."

Fan Bailing invited Gu Anning to his cubicle, asked the servant to bring a set of tea sets, and ordered two more snacks.

"The dim sum here is made from tea powder. It tastes good. You can try it." He said, "You don't know the name of the young master yet?"

After sitting down just now, Gu Anning, who was about to take out the good-looking funerary chessboard to show off, paused for a moment.

Not long ago, Duan Yu also asked this question, but he turned it back with a "forgot".

Do they all care about names so much?

"My surname is Gu." Gu Anning stopped holding the chessboard, recalling that Duan Yu once called him "Mr. Gu", he looked down at Yunzi on the table, "My name is...chess."

"Gu Qi, he lives up to his name." Fan Bailing said, "Do you want to play a game?"

Gu Anning smiled at him, "That's exactly what I mean. But the quality of the chess tools here seems to be slightly inferior, why not use mine?"

He was obsessed with chess, so naturally more than one chess set was buried with him.After the catalpa chessboard was given to Duan Yu, Gu Anning brought out another pair of Chinese torreya chessboard.

Fan Bailing looked him up and down, the chessboard was hard, and he could tell from his urine and feces, so he couldn't hide it on his body.Gu Anning doesn't even know where she is, her brain circuit must be different from normal people.

So what did he mean by what he said?

Before Fan Bailing could figure it out, Gu Anning took his contemplation as acquiescence, and unabashedly took out a chessboard about half the size of a square, and two jars of crystal clear chess pieces.

A chill emanated from the chess set, and Fan Bailing shivered for no reason.

However, he is also obsessed with chess skills. After seeing this high-quality chess set, he immediately understood why Gu Anning was unwilling to use the chess sets in the teahouse. How did Gu Anning bring such a large object here.

Fan Bailing stretched out his hand to touch the chessboard happily, "It's a good thing...it really is a good thing..."

Gu Anning also looked at her baby tenderly, "Nature is the best."

Two people who also love chess hit it off and were immersed in the game.

Gu Anning originally thought that after playing this game, the mission would be completed, but he never expected that although Fan Bailing loved playing chess as much as he did, his talent was not outstanding.His chess skill is a lot better than Duan Yu's, but compared to him, it's still a lot worse.

The chess pieces collided with the torreya chessboard, making the crisp sound of jade and stone hitting each other.

The sunspot held by Gu Anning fell, and the winner was already divided.Fan Bailing slumped his shoulders and exhaled heavily, "Brother Gu has outstanding talent, and he can reach such a level at such a young age. I really admire him."

Gu Anning didn't care about the inappropriateness of his sentences, except Go, other things could not attract his attention too much.He asked, "Can you solve Zhenlong's chess game?"

Hearing this, Fan Bailing showed an embarrassing and shy expression.

Su Xinghe, who presided over the Zhenlong chess game, was his master. Because of a series of tricks by his uncle Ding Chunqiu, Fan Bailing and several other brothers were expelled from the school, and they never saw Su Xinghe again.But they knew that the reason why Su Xinghe set up the Zhenlong Chess Game was just to accept apprentices on behalf of his masters and to inherit Xiaoyao School's martial arts.

The talents of the eight brothers Fan Bailing are not the best, whether it is martial arts or their hobbies.Fan Bailing, who has always been known as the "Chess Demon", although he has not personally tried the Zhenlong chess game, he has watched it from the sidelines.

With his ability, it is impossible to solve it.

Gu Anning's ability to perceive words and emotions was zero, and he couldn't see the embarrassment from his expression, but he still looked at the other party seriously, waiting for a reply.

Fan Bailing coughed softly, "I'm not skilled enough to crack the chess game yet."

Although he didn't want to admit it, Fan Bailing really saw a hint of surprise in the eyes of the young man in front of him.

Gu Anning said: "I will set off now, heading for Leigu Mountain!"

After speaking, he put away the chess sets on the table.

Fan Bailing finally realized what was special about Gu Anning, "Brother Gu's move is really clever, I can't see the mystery behind it."

"It's nothing more than a trick." Gu Anning didn't think about hiding her identity, but it was a bit difficult to explain.For ghosts and monsters, the tomb objects buried together are their belongings. Gu Anning's trick is indeed a basic operation.

Gu Anning originally wanted to bid farewell to Fan Bailing and go to Leigu Mountain alone, but Fan Bailing said that he was worried about him and remembered the past.The idiot had a high opinion of Fan Bailing's "Chess Demon", and had no reason to refuse, and agreed to his invitation.

After walking out of the teahouse, Gu Anning opened the oil-paper umbrella again to block the sun above her head.Following his movements, Fan Bailing realized that his cognition had gone wrong.

Gu Anning is definitely not as pure as he shows, this is a person full of secrets.

Since it is a secret, it is naturally impossible to tell it easily.

The two became friends because of chess, even though they look far apart in age, Fan Bailing has a lot of affection for Gu Anning.No matter how he lived most of his life, Gu Anning really likes to play chess.

Fan Bailing couldn't raise too much vigilance towards Gu Anning, he didn't ask about the abnormality on Gu Anning, but chose to see it with his own eyes.

Luoyang is not too far away from Leigu Mountain. Gu Anning looks like a weak scholar on the outside, but actually doesn't feel tired.All the way to Leigu Mountain, Fan Bailing found that there were many more secrets in Gu Anning than he imagined.

An ignorant disposition, a body temperature lower than that of ordinary people, and... Fan Bailing had never seen him eat anything.

The Deaf and Mute Gate is located in the valley of Leigu Mountain. The location here is remote, sparsely populated, and the scenery seems to be more beautiful than other places.

After Fan Bailing and Gu Anning arrived, the disciples of the Deaf and Mute Valley just glanced at them, bowed their heads as a gesture, and then led the two of them inside.

"They are all deaf-mute people taken in by Mr. Congbian." Fan Bailing explained, "Mr. Congbian can't speak either."

Gu Anning was not interested in these, he walked forward holding an umbrella, and saw the stone table not far away, and the chess game on it.

Deaf-mute Valley is plain and simple, the chess sets here are not as exquisite as Gu Anning's funerary objects, even the chess sets in the teahouse are not comparable.

But the moment Gu Anning saw the chess game, he couldn't remember anything.

There are 180 black pieces and 180 white pieces, half of which are already placed on the board.

Su Xinghe pretended to be "smart and debating", it was impossible for him to open his mouth to be polite.In order to avoid trouble, Fan Bailing did not come forward to meet each other, and the two nodded politely like strangers.

Gu Anning was so focused on the chess game, he murmured, "Is this the 'Ten Bad Things'? I didn't expect to see it here..."

After finishing speaking, Gu Anning dropped her hand, looked up at Su Xinghe expectantly, "Please do your best!"

Su Xinghe felt that Gu Anning was too arrogant, so he glanced at Fan Bailing who brought Gu Anning over without any trace.

Fan Bailing said, "Even though little brother Gu is young, his chess skills are very good. Even I can't guarantee that I can play a few rounds under his hands."

Su Xinghe knew his apprentice well, so he believed him tentatively.

He looked down at the chess game, and dropped a white piece, and all the black pieces held by Gu Anning died instantly.

Gu Anning's expression remained unchanged, calmer than anyone who came to crack Zhenlong's chess game.Su Xinghe couldn't help giving him a high look.

After a few rounds of you coming and going, Gu Anning dropped the black stone in Gu Anning's hand, and the situation suddenly changed, and the white stone fell into a siege, showing a declining trend.

At this point, there is no need to continue this game of chess.

Su Xinghe didn't show any negative emotions. On the contrary, he breathed a sigh of relief, stretched out his hand to stroke the beard around his mouth, looked at Gu Anning with a strange look, and showed an excited and satisfied expression for a while.

Mr. Congbian, who was rumored to be deaf and dumb, suddenly said, "Follow me."

Gu Anning frowned, and said dissatisfiedly, "There is still room for change in the chess game, why not continue?"

Su Xinghe sighed deeply and said, "Because there are more important things waiting for you."

"Is it related to this game of chess?" Gu Anning asked.

"good."

Fan Bailing retreated automatically, Su Xinghe led Gu Anning to a cliff, he made a few movements, and the stone door in front of the cliff opened wide.

"There is another person who set up this game of chess, he is inside, you go." Su Xinghe said.

Gu Anning didn't suspect him, and walked straight into the secret passage.

The door closed slowly, and it would have been impossible to open it from the inside without possessing strong internal strength.Su Xinghe could predict Gu Anning's choice.

The old man with white beard and hair suddenly paused when he turned to leave.

The light in the secret passage was dim, and a few candles were lit.But just now when Gu Anning passed by, it seemed that he...

There is no shadow.

Su Xinghe couldn't help thinking about the situation during the chess game. They were under the shade of a tree, and their shadows were not so obvious. No one paid attention to this when they were concentrating on the chess game.Now that I think about it carefully, there is indeed no shadow of Gu Anning!

Su Xinghe pressed the switch, reopened the stone door, and quickly entered the secret room.
