Seeking the Tao in the Mortal World

Chapter 172: Like A Chess Game



The fact that no one challenged him did not mean that the conference was over. Qin Yi had to leave room for others, so he was kicked off the stage by Elder Wu soon.

Qin Yi did not dare to see Ju Yunxiu and left the mountain in a hurry, planning to meet the chess fanatic.

Qin Yi wanted to ask what he calculated for giving him the noble weapon, which happened to be so useful.

Or... this was initially to save his life, but he ended up using it differently.

"Master's Junior, please wait for me." Qing Cha followed behind him.

Qin Yi was in a good mood when he saw this little girl. "Don't you want to watch the competition? Why are you following me?"

Qing Cha said confidently, "What's the fun of a competition without Master's Junior?"

Qin Yi was delighted. "You have discerning eyes!"

Qing Cha said, "Of course. The first time I saw Master's Junior, I knew that you wanted to be my Master's Husband! You refused to admit it, but your painting had exposed everything just now."

"I..." Qin Yi didn't know how to explain to a fool, so he had to say, "So you chase me here just to make fun of me?"

"No! I'm just telling my uncle that Qing Cha is very powerful!" Qing Cha was very proud. "Isn't this the way of chess?"

"..." Qin Yi touched her head. "Yeah yeah, you're awesome."

Qing Cha was very happy and followed Qin Yi all the way to the main mountain. The chess fanatic lived at the mountainside.

Qing Cha was babbling all the way. "Zheng Yunyi is so nasty. He looks like a gentleman on the surface, but he actually hides such lewd things. It shows how filthy his heart is..."

Qin Yi's face turned red. He somehow felt as if every word was talking about him. He couldn't help but defend, "If it is true that he killed the perverted monk and kept his belongings as trophies, it doesn't mean that his heart is filthy."

Qing Cha said in an upright manner. "If he is really a noble person, he should have destroyed them at first sight. Only a wretched person will keep them."

"Some things are just for boudoir fun. It doesn't mean that one's mind is dirty. Don't take it personally..."

Qing Cha sighed. "I know Master's Junior is upright. You couldn't bear to see him lose and look disgraced, so you even speak up for him. In fact, it's not necessary. He is shameless anyway. If Master were you, she would beat up this filthy man."

"Yeah, I'm too upright." Qin Yi sat cross-legged on the handkerchief, looking ahead expressionlessly.

Why are the mountains so far away...

Fortunately, they arrived soon. Qin Yi descended and went straight to the chess fanatic house.

'Da', the sound of placing chess pieces came from the house. Qin Yi carefully looked around and saw that it was the chess fanatic playing chess with himself.

"Master's Junior..."

"Huh?" The chess fanatic said without raising his head, "Isn't the tao conference going on?"

"Today's conference is over. I'm here to ask Master's Junior why did you give me that noble treasure?"

"Huh? I just randomly give something to you. Is it not useful?"

Qin Yi said blankly, "That's it?"

"It's just a trivial matter. I just dealt with it casually. What else do you want?" The chess fanatic finally turned his head, but his eyes suddenly lit up. "Oh, tea girl, you are here. Have you decided to learn chess?"

Qing Cha shook her head quickly. "No, I followed Master's Junior Qin here."

The chess fanatic sighed. "True, you are too stupid to know how to play chess."

Qing Cha was unconvinced. "I've already read Master's Junior Qin's thoughts, so I'm not stupid."

Qin Yi covered his face.

The chess fanatic was startled. "You? You read his thoughts?" After a pause, he laughed dumbly, "That's strange. Even if we didn't conceal the heaven secret, Tian Jizi might not be able to predict him, let alone you?"

Qing Cha had a bulging face and said nothing.

Qin Yi said, "It's not that exaggerated. I once had a friend who was accurate with my divination. She was only at the perfect stage of the Piano Heart Stage at that time."

"It's probably the Celestial Pivot Heaven Palace. They can see the general outline, sense good and bad luck, and know destiny. They are indeed powerful, but they are not the same as Tian Jizi's scheming way. The general direction can be predicted, but it is difficult to predict one's mind. "

Qin Yi unexpectedly learned the difference between the divination of Celestial Pivot Heaven Palace and the divination of Myriad Tao Immortal Palace.

As for the divination of Myriad Tao Immortal Palace, it was not so much divination as it was the use of divination in scheming... There was absolutely nothing in common with Ming He.

The chess fanatic said again, "You... are full of weird ideas as if they are not from this world, so who can predict you? Even in another hundred years, Tian Jizi won't know that you will draw comic characters to attract children. Mo Linzi had never thought of the assembly lines too. If Qing Cha really read your thoughts, then it would be nothing more than a love affair.”

Qin Yi's heart skipped a beat, and he looked at the chess fanatic with a more solemn look.

He seemed to have seen through everything like a chess game.

He asked again to confirm, "So Master's Junior really randomly gave me this noble treasure?"

The chess fanatic said instead of answering, "The situation is like a chess game. In the game between us and Tian Jizi, he was 'breaking' before, but now we are 'pushing'. Do you know what is our next step?"

Qin Yi said blankly, "I only know the life and death rules of Go. These terms are too profound to me."

The chess fanatic made a triangle position and said with a smile, "Since you know the life and death rules, you know you can't play in the middle, right?"

"I know this."

"That's why this move is called 'Tiger'." The chess fanatic made a tiger paw gesture, "If someone comes, just open the bag and wait."

Qin Yi and Qing Cha returned to the mountain peak with dark circles in their eyes.

Although I don’t understand it, I think it sounds awesome...

By the way, can you immortals stop pretending?

In fact, the logic is very simple. This means that the opponent may use violent means to ambush me in the next step, and I can just counter-strategize and let the opponent fall into the trap himself.

That’s what it means.

But it’s like saying nothing. Time, place, people, nothing. It’s just a bunch of nonsense.

But it does count as a meaningful wake-up call...

Previously, I was affected by the peaceful atmosphere of Myriad Tao Immortal Palace. Even the competition is so not violent, but I really didn't think about the possibility of violence by the opponent. After all, chess calculation is not really about calculating everything, it is just about predicting the next step and taking precautions in advance.

This way of chess is really interesting... From the confrontation between the two sides to the big battle over the fate of the sect, chess is everywhere. And the conflict of sect is just a corner of the chess game. I wonder if these fanatics who live in the mountains can predict the future of the mortal world?

Maybe it's really possible. This Immortal Palace is unfathomable... At least I still don't know whether he gave me the 'Yin Yang Puzzle' intentionally or not.

They returned to Ju Yunxiu's house, but she hadn't come back yet. Many matches must have been finished over there. Qing Cha cleared the coffee table and muttered, "Grand Master's Junior looks down on me. He said that I can't predict, but I clearly predicted that Master's Junior Qin will purposely sit here to wait for Master..."

Qin Yi stroked his forehead, "Even a pig knows that I want to wait for your Master to come back. Do you think I will go back and sleep?"

Qing Cha disdainfully looked at him. "So you want to sleep with Master."

Qin Yi was so angry that he was speechless. He looked around and saw a pool behind the house, so he lifted Qing Cha up and planned to use her to make tea like Ju Yunxiu.

Qing Cha was lifted up, and her hands and feet were dancing wildly in the air, "Master's Junior Qin, stop it. It's dirty there..."

Ju Yunxiu just arrived at the mountain peak. When she heard such a sentence, she pushed open the door with widened eyes.
