Taoist Myth: I am the last true immortal in the world

Chapter 36 Guan Mou reads Spring and Autumn Period
The starry sky seemed to dim as the tiger roared.

The fishy smell in the strong wind made people want to feel sick.

But Chen Yun didn't have that thought at the moment, and his whole body was tense.

If you encounter a tiger alone in the wild, it is very likely that the tiger has become a spirit. In addition, you are unarmed, and you are very likely to be killed by the tiger!
Chen Yun couldn't help but touch the Zhong Kui Talisman and Huo Zhezi on his inner sleeve.

Perhaps, Zhong Kui's Talisman is the only way he can save his life tonight.

Just when his nerves were tense, the strong wind suddenly stopped.

Seeing this, Chen Yun took out the Zhongkui Talisman and the fire folding piece, and blew the fire folding piece on fire.

Once he really encounters a situation, he will immediately light the Zhong Kui Talisman.

Sa Sa, Sa Sa.

It seemed like something was stepping on the dead branches.

Chen Yun's heart beat violently, and his eyes were fixed on the source of the sound.

The next moment, a majestic white-fronted insect with shining white eyes, as big as a buffalo, appeared!
Chen Yun's pupils suddenly shrank, and his whole body couldn't stop trembling.

According to the memories of previous lives, even the Siberian tiger, the largest of the tiger species, has a theoretical maximum weight of only [-] kilograms, and the behemoth tiger in front of us is estimated to be at least a thousand kilograms!

Finished!

Gonna die tonight!
Chen Yun was so shocked that his legs were a little weak.

But the desire to survive did not make him lose his mind.

His instinct was to light the talisman on fire.

An amazing scene happened.

The big tiger with big eyes and a white forehead glanced at him "coldly", and then "sneered" disdainfully.

Yes, Chen Yun was sure that the tiger showed these expressions!
At this moment, he was finally sure that this was a tiger spirit, or a tiger spirit with spiritual intelligence.

The next moment, the tiger confirmed Chen Yun's guess.

I saw it say: "Young man, don't wander outside in the dead of night, go home quickly."

After saying this, it sprayed out a red light from its mouth and shot straight towards Chen Yun.

Before Chen Yun could even have a thought, the red light enveloped the injured part of his arm.

A strange itching came from the wound.

He looked down and was surprised to find that his wound was healing at a speed visible to the naked eye.

In the blink of an eye, the arm that was originally bruised and bleeding had completely recovered.

If Chen Yun hadn't seen the faint scar with the help of starlight, he might have thought that he had not been injured!

Chen Yun immediately knew that the tiger spirit meant no harm, and quickly bowed and saluted, "Thank you, senior, for treating my injury."

"Your injury was caused by me, so I will heal it for you."

The tiger spirit didn't look at him again and just moved forward in the direction of Zhongnan Mountain.

Chen Yun wanted to say something else, but suddenly found that the tiger spirit had completely disappeared as soon as he finished speaking.

"Huh, you almost scared me to death."

He wiped the cold sweat from his brow.

Precisely because of being frightened like this, Chen Yun did not dare to delay anymore and hurriedly headed towards Zhongnan Mountain again.

……

Zhongnan Mountain, at the foot of the mountain.

When Chen Yun arrived here, it was already half an hour later.

I am preparing to go all the way back to the Taoist Temple.

Suddenly, he saw the tiger spirit who had been treating his injuries just now.

At this time, the tiger spirit seemed to be asleep, lying softly under a large locust tree.

And under the shadow of this big locust tree, two men were sitting.

The two men were sitting facing each other on the ground, and there seemed to be something placed in the middle.

Chen Yun took a closer look and saw their faces clearly.

The middle-aged man facing north has a dark face and a thick beard, wearing an iron crown. There is an iron whip on the left side of his body, and a black tiger is lying on the right side.

Sitting facing south was also a middle-aged man. Due to the angle, Chen Yun could only see his side face.

But just looking at the profile, he couldn't help but cheer secretly.

it is good!
What a majestic man!
This big man has a jujube-colored face, phoenix eyes, three teeth and beard, a long beard measuring one foot and eight inches, a sky blue scarf, a bright red court dress, a jade belt, and soap boots. He sits there, showing no anger and self-respect.

Chen Yun stood there and looked at it for a long time. He originally wanted to continue on his way and look back.

Who would have thought that those two people seemed to have discovered themselves.

The big man with a heavy-faced face suddenly said: "You young man is really ignorant. If Guan didn't tell me to go home quickly, why did you follow me all the way here?"

Uh?
You want me to go home quickly?
Didn't the tiger spirit say that?

Chen Yunxin asked whether this senior was transformed into a tiger spirit, right?

Perhaps he was a little surprised, but he didn't have time to reply in time.

The middle-aged man with a dark face and a thick beard smiled and said: "Brother Guan, he is a worker in the Taoist temple. Looking back now, he is not following you here."

"Oh, I was wrong."

The big man with a heavy face didn't even raise his head, and his hand seemed to be hesitant to pick up something from the front.

Chen Yun originally wanted to say goodbye, but he thought that "Senior Guan" had just been treating his injuries. After a little hesitation, he walked towards the location of the two tigers.

Come to the shade of the big locust tree.

A cool feeling came.

This kind of coolness has nothing to do with the cold weather. Chen Yun feels it is more like the cold wind blown by the evil ghost when he followed Lin Chen and others down the mountain to drive away ghosts some time ago.

The only difference is that there is warmth in this coolness, making people cool but not cold.

Although he couldn't understand what was going on, Chen Yun still bowed heavily to the big man like Chongzao, "Thank you, Senior Guan, for healing my injury just now."

Senior Guan waved his hand, "Nothing, please don't disturb my chess game with Brother Zhao."

Although Senior Zhao looks majestic and fierce, his temper seems to be quite good.

He said with a smile: "Little guy, there is no need to be polite to him. This guy is a rough guy and has an arrogant temper. The more polite you are to him, the more he will get angry with you."

Senior Guan Danfeng narrowed his eyes and hummed: "Guan, who studied in the Spring and Autumn Period, why is he a rough man? Play your chess!"

Guan studied Spring and Autumn Period?Chen Yun was startled, thinking that this man with a face as thick as a jujube could be Mr. Guan, right?

While the two were talking, he raised his head and saw clearly that there was a stone chessboard between the two people sitting opposite each other, with some stone chess pieces and wooden chess pieces on it.

The chess pieces are made of different materials, seemingly to distinguish between ourselves and the enemy.

Somewhat like chess.

It's just that this chessboard has nine horizontal and nine vertical paths, and there are relatively few chess pieces on it.

Chen Yun glanced at it and found that there was no dividing line between Chu and Han, and there were no cannons or other chess pieces.

There are only six types of chess pieces on the chessboard, namely the king, general (elephant), military counselor, chariot, Tianma, and Liujia (infantry).

In addition, there is a dice next to the chessboard, but I don’t know what it is used for.

The next moment, Chen Yun knew.

I saw Senior Guan pick up the dice and throw it, and he rolled a six.

He burst into laughter immediately, "A certain chess piece can make six moves."

After saying this, he took the Pegasus forward six steps.

Senior Zhao also picked up the dice and threw it, but it was a pity.

His originally dark face instantly became more gloomy, and he took a step forward without saying a word.

Chen Yun looked at it in confusion and thought, "What are you playing at?"

The two of them turned a blind eye and played chess, paying no attention to Chen Yun's intentions.

Perhaps he was too curious about what the two were playing, so Chen Yun simply stood there and stared.

In a short while, Senior Zhao and Senior Guan had already played three or five chess games.

Chen Yun also vaguely saw some clues and learned that the chess the two played was most likely early chess.

In addition to winning one game at the beginning, Senior Guan lost three or four games in a row and was ridiculed by Senior Zhao.

No, Senior Guan's face was a little confused, but his skills were indeed inferior to others, and he couldn't refute Senior Zhao, so he turned his head to Chen Yun and said angrily: "If you don't go back to the Taoist Temple to sleep in the middle of the night, why are you staying here? Did you see Guan’s joke?”

"Haha." Senior Zhao was in a good mood because he had won consecutive chess games. He laughed and said, "Brother Guan, you don't need to vent your anger on the Zhongli family if you lose badly, right? You really can't afford to lose!"

Senior Guan was too lazy to pay attention to him, and just waved to Chen Yun repeatedly, "Let's go! Let's go! Don't continue to watch Guan's jokes anymore."

Everyone was chasing him away, so Chen Yun had absolutely no reason to stay any longer.

He bowed and said goodbye: "Senior Zhao, senior Guan, and junior Chen Yun will say goodbye first."

Senior Guan didn't reply to him at all.

Senior Zhao, on the other hand, smiled and nodded, "Well, say hello to Zhong Liquan for me."

"Dare you ask the senior's name?" Chen Yun asked, "I can let the ancestor know."

Senior Zhao smiled broadly, "I am Zhao Gongming, and this guy who can't afford to lose is called Guan Yunchang. He is the Buddhist Protector Jialan Bodhisattva, and he is also the Ghost King. He has a high status. You must not offend him."

what?
Zhao Gongming and Guan Erye?
Chen Yun was really surprised.

He remembered that these two had become gods long ago, why did they appear here?
When he thought about it carefully, he understood the reason.

Zhao Gongming Dojo is located in Zhongnan Mountain, so it is not unusual to see it here.

As for why Mr. Guan is here, he probably has a good relationship with Zhao Gongming and came here specifically to see his friends.

Chen Yun still has a question. According to Zhao Gongming, Guan Erye has not yet become a Taoist god, but is just a Buddhist Jialan and a ghost king. Why is he related to the tiger spirit?
Although he couldn't understand, he saluted again, "I have seen Marshal Zhao, Guan... Guan Bodhisattva."

Well, this time I used two sacred priestly titles.

Zhao Gongming smiled and nodded.

Guan Yunchang seemed a little unhappy when he heard the word "Bodhisattva", "If Guan hadn't been born very late when the Sui Dynasty unified the world, he wouldn't have been left with only one Buddhist Jialan. Forget it, wait until the next time he is conferred to see if he can enter the Taoist priesthood. Young man, go back to the Taoist temple."

Chen Yun was a little baffled by what Guan Erye said.

Could it be that the act of enthroning gods is not a spontaneous act of the people and the emperor, but does it require the efforts of the gods?
And according to Mr. Guan, Taoism is more popular than Buddhism in this world?Or has a higher status?
But now is not the time to think about this, these two saints are driving me away.

To be honest, if it were the other two people in front of him, Chen Yun would definitely turn around and run away without saying a word if others drove him away.

But sitting in front of me were Zhao Gongming and Guan Erye!

Zhao Gongming was fine.

What Chen Yun cares about most is Mr. Guan.

In his previous life, which man had not read "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms"?Who doesn’t know the power of the second master?

Chen Yun really wanted to know more about Mr. Guan.

It's just that people are chasing him away, and he can't seem to find a reason to stay.

But Chen Yun really has a way to get close to these two saints.

He blinked his eyes and said: "Marshal Zhao, General Guan, junior, do you think you are playing an elephant game?"

Initially, chess was not called Xiangqi, but Xiangxi.

Perhaps seeing that Chen Yun hadn't left yet, even Zhao Gongming felt a little dissatisfied that he talked too much, so he just said a faint "hmm".

Perhaps the word "General Guan" makes Guan Yunchang feel more comfortable listening than "Guan Bodhisattva".

He was not as eager to drive Chen Yun away as before. On the contrary, he raised his head and said with a smile: "It's an elephant show, what?"

Chen Yun saw that Guan Erye was interested and knew that the opportunity to get close to the two saints had come.

He took the initiative and said: "The elephant play is too crude and cannot reflect the military capabilities of the two men. I know a way to play it that can better reflect the military capabilities."

"Oh?" Guan Yunchang became interested, "Is this true?"

Zhao Gongming also came with great interest.

Chen Yun nodded, "Seriously."

Guan Yunchang may not want to continue losing.

He stretched out his hand and said: "But please tell me carefully. If the gameplay you mentioned is indeed a better reflection of military capabilities than the one played by Brother Zhao and I, Guan will be very grateful."

Zhao Gongming teased: "You are not here in person, but Yin Shen Yufeng comes to Zhongnan Mountain. What kind of thanks can you give Chen Xiaoyou?"

Guan Yunchang said: "You care about me? Guan said thank you very much and thank you very much!"

With that said, he looked at Chen Yun again, "Young man, please come."

As soon as Chen Yun heard that there would be a reward for satisfying Master Guan, his eyes suddenly lit up and he said, "Okay."

Naturally, he had in mind a game that reflected military capabilities more than the elephant play played by Zhao Gongming and Guan Erye.

Yes, it is perfect chess!
