Guarding a reservoir? I am guarding the river of time!

Su Mu came to the river bank and looked into the dark waters.

Boom——

That dull voice continued to ring in his ears, appearing very clear.

Looking closely, he saw a piece of black driftwood on the water downstream, floating against the river in the direction of Su Mu.

After getting closer, I found a figure standing on the driftwood. He was holding a round gong in his left hand, and he was beating the gongs and drums with his right hand, making a series of rhythmic dull sounds.

Su Mu waved his hand and blew away the thick fog floating on the river at night. The wide driftwood also stopped at a distance of less than 20 meters from Su Mu. With the dim light, he could see The figure's appearance was clear.

The figure was wearing a purple Taoist robe, with gray hair, and although his eyes were cloudy, there was a little glint in his eyes. He had an ordinary face. From the looks of it, he looked like an ordinary old man.

The moment the two people's eyes met, Su Mu suddenly froze on the spot, his brows furrowed, and he felt familiar. It seemed that he had seen this old man before, but he couldn't remember it for a while.

"Who is coming?" Su Mu put his hands behind his back and asked the old man on the driftwood.

"It seems that your Excellency is a noble man who forgets things. We have met before." The old man put away the gong in his hand and took out a white whisk from his cuff, looking like a fairy.

Hearing this, Su Mu began to recall in his mind. He seemed to have a little memory, but he couldn't remember the details.

Mou——

A cow brayed, and the old green cow didn't know when he came to the river bank and cried to the old road on the driftwood.

Su Mu could tell from this voice that Old Qingniu seemed to know this veteran.

At this time, Su Mu caught the key point and thought of something.

A few years ago, Su Mu got drunk once, and while he was drunk, he happened to meet a man crossing the river.

Moreover, he seemed to have beaten the other party hard.

From that day on, Lao Qingniu began to follow him, so the identity of the other party became clear, and he was Lao Qingniu's former master.

After hearing the cry of the old green cow, the old Taoist smiled and said nothing, still looking at Su Mu calmly.

"I remember, you were probably preparing to cross the river. I was drunk at that time, and I didn't strike you lightly or harshly. Did I beat you up?"

Su Mu asked the old Taoist.

"It seems that you still remember me." The old Taoist replied.

"I was drunk at the time. I'm really a little sorry. I'm not like this on weekdays. I treat all people crossing the river equally. As long as you don't cause trouble, I will only charge you a toll to cross the river and I will let you pass."

"However, you have to cross the river at night. During this time, you have to pay extra."

Su Mu said slowly to the old Taoist.

Hearing this, the old Taoist smiled and shook his head and said: "It's okay. I don't blame you. On the contrary, you also helped me unintentionally."

“I came today and didn’t intend to cross the river.”

After saying this, Su Mu was stunned.

Helped you?

What?

Do you have masochistic tendencies?

"Then what are you doing here at night?" Su Mu looked puzzled.

You can't cross the river, so what are you going to do if you keep banging a gong back and forth at night?

Come here for a fight?

"I want to play a game of chess with Your Excellency." The old Taoist voice echoed, and it was very obvious on the quiet river.

Hearing this, Su Mu also waved his hand and said, "Go back, I don't have time."

Crazy?

Come to play chess with yourself late at night?

"Wait." Seeing Su Mu about to leave, Lao Dao hurriedly said: "If you can beat me, I will give you a gift."

Without waiting for Su Mu to speak, the old Taoist continued: "I know that your Excellency does not lack any treasures."

"But this treasure I gave you is definitely what you need."

Hearing these words, Su Mu also became a little interested and said: "Before dawn, regardless of whether there is a winner or not, I will spend one night with you at most. I don't have that much time to play with you."

Su Mu is busy earning favor points now and doesn't want to waste a day.

"One night is enough." The old man said with a smile.

"What if I lose?"

Su Mu asked, it's impossible for the other party to come to him for no reason, there must be conditions.

"If I win, I would like you to do me a small favor." Lao Dao replied.

"What small favor?" Su Mu frowned and said, "First tell me what favor you want me to do."

What if the other person's lion opens his mouth?

So, you have to ask in advance.

"Don't worry, Your Excellency. It's just a little effort for you. If you are not satisfied, you don't have to help." The old Taoist said with a smile.

After thinking for a moment, Su Mu agreed: "Come ashore."

Hearing this, the old Taoist waved his hand and said: "I can't go ashore yet."

"Just get off here."

After saying that, the old Taoist looked at the water in front of him, running his skills, and the majestic spiritual power burst out, and a one-meter-sized chessboard appeared in the water in front of him.

Immediately, the old Taoist waved his hand, and a drop of water gathered on his fingertip, turning into a chess piece. As his finger fell, it landed on the Tianyuan position on the chessboard.

Seeing this, Su Mu was also a little surprised.

Use the river water as a chessboard and use the water drops to drop the pieces?

interesting.

Su Mu also thought lightly, and without even waving his hand, a water droplet left the water, turned into a chess piece, and landed on the chess game.

In this way, the two began to play chess.

After half an hour, the two were tit-for-tat, neither of them gave in, but the opponent's chess skills were very strong, causing Su Mu to be unable to resist.

A trace of fine sweat was also oozing out of the old Taoist's forehead, because he used the waters of the long river of time as a chessboard and the water drops of time as chess pieces, which consumed him greatly.

He could only open up a "one-meter-sized" area of ​​water as a chessboard, which was the limit for him now.

Unlike Su Mu, who could stop this section of the water area of ​​time with a wave of his hand, and could also perform various operations.

After an hour, Su Mu had fallen into a disadvantage, his face was solemn.

And the old Taoist was not having a good time either. He kept controlling drops of water of time, and the consumption was too great. If he continued to drag it on like this, the opponent would not win, and he would not be able to hold on first.

So, he had to make a quick decision and could not drag it on.

For today, he had been planning for too long, and he must not fail. Once he failed, he didn't know how long it would take for the next time.

Every move of the old Taoist priest was approaching step by step, hiding murderous intentions, ready to end the chess game as quickly as possible.

Facing the fierce offensive of the old Taoist priest, Su Mu also showed his true strength, countering the opponent's moves and resolving the opponent's attacks again and again.

At this time, the old Taoist priest's eyes lit up, caught a perfect flaw, and made a god-like move!
