Nothing is to blame

Chapter 631
An abandoned garden.

There are more than ten ancient trees, half dead and half prosperous.

There is another pool of water, whose color is turbid and yellow, as if mixed with sand.

A piece of brown ashlar five or six feet long was barely cast into the shape of a table.

There are two people here, one sitting and the other standing.

The bodies of these two people are chaotic and indeterminate, which seems to give people the illusion that countless insects and dust are spliced ​​together. The whole body is covered with this illusory graininess, which completely loses its delicateness and roundness.The only exception is the cheeks, which look unusually flat and smooth, no different from ordinary people.

The person sitting by the stone table has a gray-black body and fair skin; the person standing more than ten feet away has pale clothes, but his complexion is the most translucent sallow.From the perspective of those who teach Taoism with a clear heart, although the two have hidden unfathomable and insightful atmosphere, but the head and body are divided into two parts, one is ethereal, and the other is close to others, and they are completely divided into two parts.

The one sitting next to the stone table held a shallow wooden cup and sipped carefully.

But the person in the light white robe a little far away came under a ten-foot-high tree with withered upper part and luxuriant lower part, bent down, and the rustling sound came gradually.

It turned out that he was holding a small shovel in his hand and was struggling to dig a hole under the tall tree.

The man in black poured himself and waited.

On the stone table, there is another white stone chess pier, which is as clear as jade, about five inches thick, but there are no chess pots or chess pieces.On the edge of the stone table is a white jade jug with a shallow, thin and high neck.Apart from the wooden cup in the palm of the man in black, there are two more cups on the stone table.

One of the cups stopped on the opposite side of the chess pier, half-drunk.This cup is next to a pair of wooden clogs, but the person who excavated it was wearing a pair of straw sandals, obviously changed before going to the ground.It can be seen from this that this cup belongs to the man in the gray robe holding the spatula.But in the third extra wooden cup, the wine was overflowing, and there was still a trace of heat, and the temperature had not dissipated, so it seemed very redundant.

The white-robed man dug two feet deep, finally took out two copper pots under the tree, threw the shovel aside, shook his sleeves, returned leisurely, and put on his clogs.

There was a "snap" sound that shook the eardrums, and two copper pots were thrown on both sides of the stone table.The copper cover on it shook open like a carp kicking upright. As expected, it was two boxes of chess pieces.

The man in the light white robe stretched out his hand, picked up the full wine glass, and stared at it for a long time; then he gradually approached his lips, as if he was about to drink it all in one gulp——

But at the next moment, he sighed slightly, and with a flick of his wrist, he finally threw the glass of wine completely, drawing a bright arc, which was very decisive.

With a backhand throw, he threw the wine glass into the turbid pool water in the distance, causing a series of splashes.

Then the man in the light white robe lifted the jug again, poured the wine into the old cup in front of him, and drank it down in one gulp.

After Liang, the man in white robe said quietly: "The chessboard is very big. If the flames of war stretch for tens of millions, one person's power will be limited after all. It's just... when it comes to some critical links, it's inevitable that there will be something stuck in the throat." His voice was very hoarse , it just so happened that this most unadorned voice concealed vigor and stagnation, making it impossible to tell the age.

The man in black said lightly: "The power of sweeping all things and raising and lowering the five elements; and the meaning of indifference and keeping one's heart calmly and in the middle way are inseparable. Why cherish a ladle of living water when enjoying the infinite scenery and quietness? From a technical point of view, water It's going down, it's pervasive, and it's not a single person's strength that can resist it; it's just that my holy ancestors pointed out that there is no way to avoid it. Now avoiding its sharpness, it is inevitable that my disciples will doubt their confidence."

Qianbaipao said humanely: "These trivial matters, if you think about it, the rites and spiritual songs will be settled properly."

A quarter of an hour ago, the incarnation of the master of the Yin-Yang Dao was not just divided into two in the Yin-Yang Cave, as Gui Wujiu saw.In fact, he was divided into three parts. Not long after he left, the projection of the avatar that he put the most effort into landed here.The extra glass of wine was prepared for the master of the Yin-Yang Dao.

It's just that the master of Yin Yang Dao didn't drink it, leaving only one sentence.

The choice of the next yin and yang Taoist master is determined by the number of days and cannot be avoided.As long as the Holy Cult of the Ancestral Court does not take the initiative to attack her, Yin Yang Dao will not take the initiative to be an enemy of the Holy Cult of the Ancestral Court in view of the past friendship.

But anyone with a discerning eye knows that Qin Menglin will definitely accompany Gui Wugui.If the soldiers rise again in the future, there is no doubt that this will be a stumbling block for the Holy Family.

The discussion between the two was based on this.

After the person in the light white robe was seated, the two of them seemed to close their eyes and meditate for a while.Finally, the man in black said, "Let's begin."

The man in the light white robe nodded slowly, then reached out and grabbed a chess jar in unison.

If anyone was watching here, they would probably take it for granted that the two of them were going to have a hand-to-hand conversation.

But what happened next was nothing short of amazing.These two people each grabbed a chess jar, not dropping pieces, but pouring all the chess pieces in the entire chess jar onto the chess pier, forming two hills, one black and one white!Then the eyes of the two fell on the two chess pieces and stared at them for a long time.

It was only then that one could see that the quality of those two pools of chess pieces was really worrying.

No matter whether the sunspots or whites are round and flawless, and the shape is full and plump, at most no more than [-] to [-] percent.The rest are either cracked or uneven in shape, and some are even cut off like a dog gnawing on them.All in all, most of them are crooked melons and cracked dates.

But the gray runner looked at the two piles of chess pieces, but his face was full of relief.

The black robe said humanely: "This competition that shocked half the world, I accidentally made a mistake. The way to deal with the aftermath is nothing more than to restore the prestige with vigorous and resolute means, and implement this strategy of 'hanging a sharp sword'. Thank you for your help."

The gray-white robed man shook his head and said, "What kind of politeness is there between you and me?"

He sighed again: "Other people all know that even if my ancestral court of the holy religion has a spare, the number is bound to be small; how can they know my true background?"

The man in black asked, "How much do you use?"

The man in the gray robe hesitated for a moment, and said: "Leave six of the best quality for emergencies, and put in all the rest."

The man in black nodded slowly.

As the man in the gray robe stretched out his hand and waved, dozens of black and white chess pieces floated up in the air, spinning slightly in mid-air.After careful inspection, it is true that among the hundreds of chess pieces, those with better quality will be screened out in nine out of ten.

These dozens of chess pieces seem to have a sudden induction, one black and one white, corresponding one by one, glued together!
The moment this action was completed, a huge phenomenon immediately appeared.

Originally, these black and white chess pieces looked really simple.Looking at its appearance, it is quite inferior to the chess pieces made of jade, agate, shells, amber, ziying and other materials used by princes and nobles. It seems to be roughly similar to the rough wooden painted chess pieces.But when the black and the white meet in pairs, an indescribable mystery arises spontaneously involving the power of space.

A pair of chess pieces form a world.

The gray-white robed man waved his sleeves, and dozens of chess pieces shot straight into the sky, spreading the endless void, as if he had traced to the end of Ziwei's great world!
Ordinarily speaking, even though this gray-white runner has a heaven-reaching cultivation, he cannot move around a world with his mind and mana alone, like an arm and a finger.It’s just that the chess pier in front of the two seems to have a mystery—at this time, its stone body has almost disappeared, leaving only nineteen abstract vertical and horizontal black lines that exist alone, walking unsteadily in the void, somehow connecting the scattered numbers. Ten pieces.

It seems that many moves that are unfathomable and require an incredible amount of mana have been prepared in advance through this chess pier.Now, it's just a matter of invoking means, four or two.

……

Among the yin and yang caves.

Gui Wujiu and Qin Menglin exchanged pleasantries with Teng Jing, Xie Miao, Pu Cao and other descendants of the big clan in turn.It's just that these families are in places where the power of the hidden patriarchal clan can't reach, so they only scratch the surface, that's all.Afterwards, the two got together with Ma Yuan, Kong Xuan, Shen Tuhong, Zhen Shi and other four people, and briefly discussed the current situation of the clan, the current situation of the clan, and the trends of friends and enemies.

After discussing for a while, Gui Wujiu suddenly found out that Zhishi of the Fu clan here really is an extraordinary person.The feeling of "wonderful enlightenment" hidden in him is very similar to the feeling given to him by Kong Quan, the peacock clan.However, compared with Kong Quan, Zhen Shi's "skilledness" and "consciousness" in using his own abilities are far superior.

Dou Zhan's ability is of course important, but it is also of great help to have such a person who understands the mystery join.

Although the first impression was very good, Gui Wujiu thought to himself, what kind of situation the other party is facing, how sincere he is, how much profit he has, he needs to be invited to the Yinzong, and then discuss in detail.

While thinking about it, voices suddenly sounded from all around.The entire space within the Yin-Yang Cave seemed to suddenly brighten a bit.

Gui Wujiu, Qin Menglin, Ma Yuan, Kong Xuan and others raised their heads together.

Dozens of stars sway, from north to south, falling in the sky.

If it is the image of a "meteor shower", it is not similar.Because those dozens of stars seem to be able to actively adjust their orientation, and soon they become one after another, like a string of extremely long candied haws.The star at the top seemed to be smashed into the cave of Yin and Yang in an instant!
What's even more strange is that all the stars are half-dark and half-bright, with one side emitting a translucent brilliance, while the other side is dark and unpredictable.

Qin Menglin took a closer look, but said: "This is not something that happened in the Yin-Yang Cave, but an external situation, manifested by the 'True Macro Dual Image Instrument'."

Before the words were finished, the first star was already overwhelming like Mount Tai, and suddenly the meteorite fell from the sky, falling with a bang.

But the next moment when everyone exclaimed, they realized that no one was injured, and it seemed that the falling of the "meteorite" was just an illusion.At the same time, the entire blue sky suddenly split into two, showing two picture scrolls!
In the left half of the picture scroll, Chishui Guzhou, six mountains and cliffs merge.Guard one place.On the top of the mountain, there is a dark hole, and it is unknown where it leads.But those with more sensitive minds, recalling the entrance to the Tianchi Lake where they stood, felt that the two were somewhat similar.There is a vague answer in my heart.

On the right half of the picture scroll, there is a Changchuan Waterfall, with a width of more than hundreds of miles and a height of thousands of feet.The water curtain is like a curtain of hundreds of millions of beads hanging, the mist, sky and light are mixed and stirred together, accompanied by the sound of rumbling water, creating a broad and secluded implication.

People in this environment are all well-informed people who don't know how many beautiful scenery they have enjoyed.But this huge waterfall, which is really huge, can't help but make them feel "open-minded".

Shen Tuhong's complexion changed, and he said in a low voice, "The first boundary marker in the northern border!"

Gui Wujiu asked in surprise, "Fellow Daoist Shentu, do you know where this waterfall belongs?"

Shen Tuhong's eyes were a little erratic, and he said in a low voice: "This is an important point in the extreme north of our Chimei Clan, which is about the border with the four clans. This waterfall was created by the great supernatural powers of our clan. The boundary markers of the isolated border."

Gui Wujiu nodded slowly, thinking that there must be something to say next.

Sure enough, in just a few breaths of time, everyone in the world felt a strange feeling in their hearts.

Liuhe Gufeng on the left, and Changchuan Hanging Waterfall on the right, the weather of the two is not connected at all. It seems that the sky is separated by two points, like a split mirror.But in a trance, it seems...these two worlds have become connected!

The ends of the world are like neighbors, but that is the case.

Taking a closer look, there is suddenly a clear and shining "disc" in the middle of the waterfall, and then it seems to chisel out the void, connecting to the distance!

Just when everyone was guessing, the second flying star fell from the sky!

The scene in the sky naturally changed accordingly.

On the left-hand scroll, there are thousands of isolated peaks towering above the dark still water, and there are caves in the belly of each peak, like a labyrinth; on the right-hand scroll, it is a flaming mountain that stretches for three thousand miles. Among them, tall trees can be clearly seen to be shaded, which seems to be especially emerald in the fire.

One is extremely cold and quiet, and the other is extremely blazing. At a glance, the weather is very different, just like participating in business.

However, after waiting for a few breaths, the familiar feeling of "communication between the two worlds" came as promised...

This cycle goes on and on, and every time a star falls, these scenes are repeated again and again.

"Xuanwu Yuanshan..."

"E Cang Road..."

A whisper came into Gui Wugui's ears.Just like the "First Boundary Monument in the Northern Territory" of the Red Meizu, more and more places have been recognized.Obviously, these are very prestigious and iconic land boundaries for their respective races.

After a while, Kong Xuan suddenly whispered: "Wudian Tower..."

Gui Wujiu looked up, in the picture scroll, there was a vast desert of yellow sand, with thousands of ninety-nine-story white jade towers flowing freely in the sand.

Feeling moved in his heart, Gui Wugui asked, "Is it close to the secret place of the Peacock Clan?"

Kong Xuan shook her head and said: "It doesn't count. This is the habitat of the 'Wudian Clan'. The western border with my Peacock Clan is still separated by the Blood Crow Clan."

But Kong Xuan thought for a while, and added: "However, the territory of the Blood Crow Clan is a long and narrow line. If you cross it directly, the distance is not too far. So if you can connect to Wudian Tower, the distance from my Peacock Clan is about [-] minutes." Not very far. Just certainly no transgression; not even adjacency."

Kong Xuan had obviously guessed what this meteor vision represented.

Gui Wujiu nods his head secretly, judging from the tricky selection of points, the Holy Family has long planned.

For a long time, the "yin and yang cave" of the holy religion's ancestral court, in the eyes of outsiders, has been a means of integrating internal forces and connecting strongholds.Although this thing has greatly improved the combat power projection of the holy family, but it has not given people the most urgent sense of crisis when it is used for internal management.

No one expected that the Holy Church's ancestral court's means to restore the defeated situation would come so swiftly and violently - protruding to the elbow and armpit, like a thorn on the back.
