The Path Toward Heaven

After Jing Jiu left, Tong Yan also left.

The Meihui chess battle has just begun, so naturally it cannot end here.

The winner of the chess game will receive the empowerment and baptism of Zen Zi together with the winners of the other four events, not to mention that this is a great honor.

But because of understandable reasons, no matter those real chess masters or simple enthusiasts are a little bit less interested and can't get any energy.

I'm leaving too. He Zhan tied the hip flask to his waist, and said to Sese: I have a chance to go to Xuanlingzong to play with you, and I will take you to the Daze next door to catch fish. The stewed fish heads in his family are extraordinarily fragrant, better than grilled fish.

Sese didn't pay attention to the second half of this sentence at all, and asked in surprise: You don't play chess anymore?

Yes. He Zhan was silent for a while, and then said, I won't go down from now on.

Hearing this sentence, many shocked and puzzled eyes fell on him.

Jing Jiu and Tong Yan have already left, so He Zhan is naturally the absolute favorite in Meihui's chess match.

Even if his mind was too shocked by the previous chess game, or he didn't want to take advantage of it and act like a celebrity, why did he say that he would never play chess again?

He Zhan's next words don't know whether to answer Thurse or to everyone in Qipanshan.

Even if I can't beat those two people in my next life, and I can't even touch their clothes, why bother?

...

...

Jing Jiu and Zhao Layue still broke up in Xinjiekou, just like a few days ago, everything was so ordinary, as if nothing happened today.

The eaves of Taichang Temple were washed by rain, black and shiny, looking like the horns of a black dragon.

Jing Jiu looked away, walked up the stone steps, opened the door and walked in.

The whole family sat in the flower hall, watched him come in, and got up together.

Why did you come back?

Brother Jing's attitude was more respectful than before, but his eyes were full of joy.

When Jing Jiu saw him, he remembered that he had forgotten one thing.

A few days ago, when he asked the other party to play chess, he said that he won the game. Today, he only played a game of chess and came back.

He said: How much you lose, I will make up for you.

Brother Jing said happily: It's okay, I'm betting on a single victory.

...

...

At Qipanshan, the rain stopped.

There is no sound outside the window, it is very quiet, suitable for sleeping.

Jing Jiu didn't fall asleep, thinking about something.

When he came to Chaoge City to attend the Meihui, the main idea was to see if that person would come to him.

But since Layue said those words, and he said them again when he was in his early teens, it doesn't matter to take part in the chess game.

It's just a game.

Just like what he said to Tong Yan in Qipanshan.

But is it really just a game?

He got up and went to the bookshelf to take down the set of Go, returned to the table, and replayed today's game.

He stood in front of the table, staring at the chessboard in silence for a long time.

The colors of the black and white chess pieces are so distinct, and the difference is very clear, but in the end it seems to become a whole.

He won this game today, but he knew that he won in some aspects that Tong Yan could not do.

He doesn't feel that the victory is invincible, but from the standpoint of Tong Yan, this is not a crime of war.

His current physical condition is exceptional, with near-infinite mental strength.

In the past, even if he had learned chess since he was a child, it would have been difficult to reach the level he is today.

Today, Tong Yan's chess is infinitely close to perfection, if not for the exhaustion of mental and physical strength in the end, the last seventh move is a bit too tough, and he has no way to find and seize the opportunity that will escape at any time. Or Tong Yan slowed down the speed of chess, turning this game into a long game of dozens of days, and the outcome of this game is still unknown.

So he can feel and understand Tong Yan's last pain.

You are still number one in the world.

Jing Jiu looked at the chessboard and said to Tong Yan.

When he stepped into that dark river in that mountain, he thought that his life would not change in any way this time, but now it seems that there will still be some differences, although very little.

Or was it because of being exposed to a field that had never been touched before, and was touched?

Jing Jiu wasn't sure about this point, the calculation of subtle changes in Dao Xin was too complicated, and he was already very tired now.

He walked to the window and looked at the quiet courtyard in the night, feeling a little confused for some reason.

This emotion, or rather all emotions, was something that rarely occurred to him.

Suddenly, the children's laughter and the woman's exclamation came from the front of the small courtyard, followed by some nervous hissing, and then it was quiet again.

Maybe it was the eldest brother of the Jing family who told his family what happened today and the gamble.

If Jing Jiu wanted to listen to them, he would naturally be able to hear them, but he didn't do that, and his mood gradually calmed down.

...

...

In the next few days, the Meihui chess game continued.

Gu Yuanyuan, who was enshrined in the Wind Knife Sect, lost to an unknown ascetic after struggling for two rounds because his spirit was too shocked that day. Shang Jiulou was also extremely exhausted, and finally failed to make it to the end, and left Qipanshan on the fifth day.

In the end, it was Jingzong's Que Niang who won the chess game.

The girl with freckles is indeed the object of Tong Yan's personal advice, and she was obviously affected by that game of chess, but she persisted until the end.

It was even heard that she seemed to have learned something from that game of chess, and that she had made progress in her chess skills.

That game of chess was naturally the game between Jing Jiu and Tong Yan on the first day of the chess game.

Not many people cared about the outcome of Meihui's chess game, and everyone was discussing that game.

The printing agency in Chaoge City printed thousands of chess records at the fastest speed, and then they were all robbed and sent to various houses.

The chessboard and chess pieces played by Jing Jiu and Tong Yan were sent to the palace on the same day, arranged as they were, and then shaped by Taoism. It is said that His Majesty watched it for a whole night.

Even the walkers and pawns who are not interested in Go are discussing this game with relish, but many details have changed, which is extremely miraculous.

...

...

Tong Yan left Chaoge City directly, actually gave up the most important Daoist battle, and began to retreat after returning to Yunmeng Mountain. It is said that the Zhongzhou faction was quite dissatisfied with this matter.

Everyone knows that the object of dissatisfaction of the Zhongzhou faction is of course not Tong Yan but Jing Jiu.

Jing Jiu became a real celebrity, and things related to him were naturally rediscovered and became the topic of conversation in the streets and alleys.

For example, his experiences in the Qingshan sect, and the story of traveling tens of thousands of miles with Zhao Layue, killing people everywhere, and of course the scenes at the Qingshan sword test meeting.

Only then did many people know that Jing Jiu was a swordsman who was specially trained by the Qingshan Sword Sect.

As the third-ranked disciple of Liangwang Peak, Gu Han is well-known in the cultivation world.

Guo Nanshan is the first disciple of Qingshan, who has broken through the realm of wandering, and is considered to be a strong young generation who may challenge Luo Huainan.

Jing Jiu had only studied swords in Qingshan for a few years, but he was able to defeat Gu Han and break Nanshan's sword? Although it was rumored that it was not a real contest, Jing Jiu seized the opportunity when Guo Nanshan withdrew his sword at the end. But how many people can catch a disciple of Wuzhang's initial stage when facing a strong player of the Wilderness stage, even if there is a chance?

Reminiscent of the chess game that shocked the mainland at the Meihui, Jing Jiu gradually has an image in the hearts of the world: a peerless and beautiful son who is good at planning.

But soon after, new news began to spread, which was said to come from within Qingshan.

——Jing Jiu may have been born in Guocheng Temple.
