The great elder of the Wu Clan was much more easy-going than Zhang Hao expected, at least much gentler than the village chief Zhang Hao had met before.

"Two guests, this village is full of country people, they haven't seen the world for a long time, so they are neglecting the two guests. I hope you two won't laugh."

The Great Elder appeared in front of Master Zhang Hao and Jingci with a smile, and his face was as kind as a spring breeze.

"No, our sudden visit is causing trouble for you, Great Elder. In fact, we are here today to find out more about Shiwandashan. We are not interested in the internal affairs of the Wu clan."

Before Zhang Hao could speak, Master Jingci answered first.

"The Hundred Thousand Mountains? It is indeed a mysterious place, but it has gradually declined over the years. Even our Witch Clan is trying to find a way to leave this place, so why do you need to come to know about it?

I know the identities of you two. If you really want to find some artifacts, you might as well go to Kunlun Mountain. The magic of Kunlun Mountain is even worse than that of the Hundred Thousand Mountains.

And since ancient times, I have never heard of the disappearance of mysterious phenomena in the Kunlun Mountains. "

The great elder still had a spring-like smile on his face, but his words contained a sense of rejection.

He kept silent about Shiwandashan. Both Zhang Hao and Master Jingci could hear that he wanted them to leave this place as soon as possible.

"Great Elder, why are you so decisive? We are here just to learn about Shiwandashan. If there is anything related to your Wu tribe, you don't have to say anything."

Master Jingci spoke again, his tone so sincere that even the great elder didn't know how to reject him for a moment.

"Hey, why are you doing this? The Hundred Thousand Mountains have been declining since more than 20 years ago. This place is about to become an ominous place. Even if you know the secrets of the Hundred Thousand Mountains, So what?"

The Great Elder sighed deeply. He suddenly closed his mouth and walked forward silently. Zhang Hao and Master Jingci looked at each other, a little confused, but they followed behind the Great Elder silently.

Soon the great elder stopped at a step.

Zhang Hao and Master Jingci looked up the steps and saw an altar placed on the hundreds of steps. The stone statues enshrined in the altar were the same as the stone statues Zhang Hao and the others had seen in the cave before. Exactly the same.

"The stone statue of Dayi, so the altar in the cave is modeled after the gods worshiped by your tribe. Great Elder, do you think there are really gods in this world?"

Zhang Hao asked pointedly.

"Is it important whether there is a god? This altar has been built here for thousands of years, and people have been worshiping him. We haven't seen him bless us. Instead, he is hiding in this hundred thousand mountains, and some troubles have continued to happen for thousands of years. .

Young man, look at the clear and clear sky, why don't you play chess with me? "

The great elder kept saying something here and there, which made both Zhang Hao and Master Jingci a little confused.

The scene fell into silence for a while, but the Great Elder didn't seem to want to maintain the current situation, so he spoke again.

"Young man, come and play a game of chess with me. As long as you can beat me at chess, then no matter what you want to know from me, I will tell you the truth."

This was an irresistible condition, and Zhang Hao immediately agreed.

I don't know much about Zhang Hao in Go, but I have played a few games with the old man. Although I can't say he is proficient, he can definitely be considered a master among civilians. After just twenty steps, Zhang Hao once forced the great elder into a desperate situation.

"Young man, don't be so hasty when doing things. If you are so anxious to attack, it will cause you to only focus on what is in front of you and not see the surroundings. Winning or losing in the moment means nothing."

The great elder looked like an elder and casually made a few more moves on the other corner of the chessboard. He who had been in despair suddenly came back to life.

The great elder is really a good trick, but if you remind me like this, aren't you afraid of losing in a while?

Zhang Hao looked at the Great Elder with a smile. If he had not reminded Zhang Hao, Zhang Hao would not have noticed the chess pieces arranged by the Great Elder.

But now the great elder not only reminded Zhang Hao, but also blatantly placed the chess piece on that side. Now Zhang Hao can turn his gun to deal with the chess piece in that corner.

"I have said it before, young people should not be obsessed with the victory or defeat in front of them. A temporary defeat is not a shame, and a temporary prosperity is not a glory. Throughout the ages, many princes and generals have been defeated again and again, but in the end it was them. Writing history, don’t you think?”

The great elder smiled slightly and played a few more chess pieces on the other side. Zhang Hao was dazzled by his unorganized moves.

"It seems that, Great Elder, your chess skills are much higher than I thought. Boy, I may not be able to beat you today."

Zhang Hao still has an advantage in the situation where Zhang Hao just closed it on the chessboard as soon as he saw it was good. If he chooses to draw now and the great elder agrees, they can count as a draw.

"Although it's a bit reckless, I finally know how to advance and retreat. Well, if you want to know anything, just ask."

The great elder laughed twice and took back the chess pieces, then turned back to the house, took two pots of tea and walked to the altar.

"Great Elder, I heard from Qingxuan that energy has been flowing out of the Hundred Thousand Mountains for more than 20 years. Haven't you thought of some other ways to solve this problem in the past 20 years?"

After hearing this, the great elder glanced at Qingxuan standing next to Master Jingci strangely, and then slowly said

"This kid really doesn't treat you as outsiders. He will tell you everything. The energy of the Hundred Thousand Mountains has indeed passed away for more than 20 years. We have tried some methods, but to no avail.

Speaking of which, your senior came to Shiwanda Mountain to help us solve this problem, so we were able to survive in Shiwandashan for more than 20 years.

If I guess correctly, you have already visited Shiwanda Mountain a few days ago and removed the mountain-holding stone from under the Millennium Cold Water Pond, right? "

There was no emotion on the Great Elder's face, and Zhang Hao couldn't tell for a moment whether he was pretending or really so calm.

"I did take the mountain-holding stone. According to the genealogy of our lineage of mountain walkers, that thing is quite important to us.

Boy, I am the last successor of the mountain walker lineage, so in order to prevent these skills from being lost in the future, my mission is to retrieve all the lost treasures.

When the old man handed over the genealogy to me, my uncle had disappeared for more than 20 years. There was not much detail about the whereabouts and usage of the Zhenshan Stone. We can only guess that it was in the 10th century through the special method of our mountain walker lineage. This is Wanda Mountain, so I dared to come and take it away. "
