Chapter 345 Game of Chess
Yuanshi Tianzun and Tongtian Jiaozhu came to Tongtian Jiaozhu's courtyard, sat in front of the stone table, and started playing chess.
At this time in the Biyou Palace, all the disciples were looking at Tongtian Sect Master's courtyard in confusion.
"Why did Master come to visit suddenly? If I remember correctly, Master has not been to the Green Travel Palace for more than a thousand years, right?"
"I do not know either!"
A few hours later, Zhao Gongming rushed into the Biyou Palace and asked the Golden Spirit Mother who was guarding the door of Tongtian Sect Master's residence:
"Senior sister, where is the master?"
"Junior Brother Gongming? Why are you here? Master is playing chess!"
"It's already this late, and Master is still in the mood to play chess. I want to go see Master!"
After Zhao Gongming finished speaking, he was about to walk towards Tongtian Jiaozhu's residence, but was stopped by Jinling Shengmu.
"Senior sister, what do you mean?"
Zhao Gongming looked at the Golden Spirit Mother in confusion and asked.
"Junior brother, Master gave an order before he went in that no one should disturb him, so no matter what you have to say, you have to wait until Master finishes playing chess!"
"No, Senior Sister, this is extremely urgent. We must see our Master immediately! Senior Sister, please let me in!"
Zhao Gongming heard what the Golden Spirit Mother said and spoke anxiously.
"No, Junior Brother. Master has specifically told me that if anyone breaks in and interrupts his game with Master, I will be in big trouble. So Junior Brother, I can't let you in!"
The Golden Spirit Mother said stubbornly.
"Sister, this matter is related to the Conferred God Plan and cannot be delayed. Once the Shang Dynasty's national fortune is damaged and Junior Brother Li falls into the Saint Realm, then everyone in my Jie Sect will probably be included in the Conferred God List!"
Zhao Gongming said anxiously.
"What? Junior brother, you didn't lie to me, did you?"
Hearing Zhao Gongming say this, the Golden Spirit Holy Mother immediately asked, and after seeing Zhao Gongming nodded very affirmatively, the Golden Spirit Holy Mother made a decision and said:
"Junior brother, since the situation is so urgent, I will not stop you. Go ahead. If Master blames you, I will take the responsibility alone!"
The Holy Mother of the Golden Spirit also knew the priorities of the matter. After hearing what Zhao Gongming said, she felt bad and did not dare to stop Zhao Gongming anymore, so she let him in directly.
"Thank you, senior sister!"
After Zhao Gongming thanked the Golden Spirit Mother, he walked towards the courtyard.
In the courtyard, Tongtian was playing chess with Yuanshi Tianzun. Tongtian played black and Yuanshi Tianzun played white.
"Haha! Brother, after not playing against each other for so many years, it seems that your chess skills have declined a lot. I have won five games in a row. Why don't we stop here? I have been winning all the time, and it seems that you are not paying attention to the chessboard!"
Tongtian said this as he looked at Yuanshi who was sitting absent-mindedly opposite him.
"No, there's no reason not to come after winning. I admit that I was distracted before. I have to concentrate on this game and give it my all!"
How could Yuanshi Tianzun let Tongtian go so easily? He looked at Tongtian with a cold face and said.
"Haha, fine then. I'll play another round with you. If you lose this round again, there's no need for us to play again!"
Tongtian looked at Yuanshi Tianzun's unyielding look and breathed a sigh of relief in his heart. After all, among his three brothers, the eldest brother Taishang Laojun was the best chess player, while he and Yuanshi Tianzun were on par with each other.
The two of them had wins and losses against each other, but Tongtian had always lost more than he won, so he was so happy about his victory over Yuanshi Tianzun.
The main thing is that he won not just once, but five times in a row. How could he not be happy?
Not long after, Zhao Gongming walked out of the entrance with his head down. Seeing this, the Golden Spirit Holy Mother immediately came forward and asked Zhao Gongming, who looked lost:
"Junior brother, why do you look like this? Could it be that Master is unwilling to help you?"
Zhao Gongming shook his head and said:
"I didn't see my master. Someone set up a saint barrier at the entrance. I can't get in!"
When the Golden Spirit Mother heard what Zhao Gongming said, her expression changed.
"Why? Junior Brother, if it really doesn't work, I'll go to Chaoge with you to see if we can solve the problem."
"Alas! Useless senior sister, let alone you, even if all the second-generation disciples of Jiejiao go together, they can't solve the problem. Haotian has an acquired treasure in his hand, which is only one step away from being promoted to a holy weapon. We can't defeat it!"
Zhao Gongming sighed and said with lifeless eyes.
"What should we do?"
"It's alright, Senior Sister. I'll stay here with you. I just don't believe that Master can play chess for ten days or half a month."
After Zhao Gongming finished speaking, he sat down and waited.
An hour later, in the courtyard, Yuanshi Tianzun looked at Tongtian with a smile on his face and said:
"Junior brother, thank you for letting me!"
"Humph! It's just luck. Come again!"
Tongtian lost this round, but he was not convinced. After all, he had won five games in a row against Yuanshi before, so he looked down on Yuanshi, which led to his quick defeat in this round.
The two started playing chess again.
Time flies, and two days have passed. Tongtian and Yuanshi have been playing chess. Ever since Yuanshi Tianzun has been focused, Tongtian has been winning less and losing more. This made Tongtian's unwillingness to admit defeat come up all of a sudden, and he kept losing battles.
At this time, on the wall of Qinglong Pass, Li Qing looked at Haotian who was shouting below with a worried look on his face.
"People from Qinglong Pass, you dare not fight, and you don't want to retreat. What's the logic? If I were you, I would just open the city and surrender. Are you planning to stay in Qinglong Pass like a turtle?"
In the past two days, Haotian has been clamoring outside Qinglong Pass, but there has been no movement inside Qinglong Pass, which made the soldiers and defenders of Qinglong Pass feel very angry.
"Master, let me lead the troops out to fight him. Even if I die on the battlefield, it is better than hiding in the city!"
A Qinglong Pass guard knelt in front of Li Qing and begged.
Li Qing shook his head slightly.
"Master, we can't stay in the city forever, right? I would rather die in battle outside than stay in the city and listen to provocations from others every day!"
"It's not that I don't want you to go out and fight, it's just that the time is not right. When the time comes, I will let you go out and vent your anger!"
After hearing what Li Qing said, the defending general shook his head helplessly and retreated.
After seeing the guard leave, Li Qing began to worry.
"Zhao Gongming has been gone for two days. With his cultivation level, he should be able to reach the Green Travel Palace in a few hours. He hasn't come back in two days. Could something have happened?"
Li Qing also began to get anxious at this moment. After all, he could clearly feel that the luck of the Shang Dynasty in his body had weakened a lot. If he stayed in the city and did not go out, he would fall from the saint realm within half a month.
At this time in the Biyou Palace, as time passed, Zhao Gongming became more and more anxious, pacing back and forth in the hall.
"Senior sister, which uncle is the master playing chess with in the courtyard?"
"It's Uncle Yuanshi who hasn't been to Biyou Palace for a long time!"
The Golden Spirit Mother answered truthfully.
"I was wondering why someone would set up a ban. It turned out to be him. No wonder. Goodbye, Senior Sister. I'm going back to Qinglong Pass!"
After Zhao Gongming got the answer from the Golden Spirit Mother, he immediately flew out of the Biyou Palace without looking back.
No wonder there was a restriction at the door. I guess my uncle must have guessed that I would come to my master for help, so he specially visited Biyou Palace and asked my master to play chess with him.
If I keep waiting here, let alone ten days or half a month, even if I wait for a year, my master may not come out.
Late at night, Zhao Gongming returned to Qinglong Pass and went to see Li Qing immediately.
"Brother, you are finally back. How is it? Did you borrow the Four Swords of Zhu Xian?"
When Li Qing saw Zhao Gongming coming back, he immediately asked anxiously.
Zhao Gongming shook his head, sighed and said:
"Junior brother, Master was tricked by Grandmaster Yuanshi into playing chess, and he also set up a ban. We can't even contact Master, so I'm sorry!"
Zhao Gongming looked at Li Qing apologetically and said.
"Oh! I knew it wouldn't be that easy!"
Li Qing heard this and sighed.
"Brother, what should we do?"
Zhao Gongming looked at Li Qing and asked.
“At this point, I am the only one who can defeat Haotian and Jieyin at the risk of falling into the Saint Realm. But Junior Brother, after I defeat Haotian and Jieyin, I’m afraid I will have to hand it over to you!”
