0974. Play Chess

On the fourth day after Li Mu arrived at the Dao Palace, the day he was led to meet the Lord of the Dao Palace and the Sword Master of the Hidden Sword Sea, the cold season of the chaotic world finally arrived.

Overnight, the entire world was covered in white snow.

Except for places covered by immortal trees, the wilderness has entered a state of extreme cold. Even the martial arts masters in the Shanghuang Realm will freeze to death if they stay in the wilderness for too long.

The Wuwei Mountains where the Dao Palace is located has a total of five World Trees of different sizes, with the one on the Huanglao Peak in the middle being the largest. It is distributed in a five-star pattern and emits green fluorescent light at all times, covering the entire mountain range. .

The martial arts masters on Huanglaofeng are naturally not too afraid of the invasion of wild beasts and monsters, but not everyone can resist the extreme cold. During the cold season, the existence of the World Tree is very necessary.

The Immortal Tree is really a very wonderful plant. Outside the energy coverage of the tree, it is extremely cold to the point where it is difficult for living things to exist. However, within the coverage area, it is as warm as spring and feels a little chilly.

Under the leadership of Qing Niu, Li Mu came to a small thatched courtyard at the highest point of Huanglao Peak. It was quite poetic. There was a plaque on the bamboo door with three elegant characters written on it -

Moral Palace.

To be honest, it is difficult to associate such a courtyard with the so-called palace, especially when Li Mu saw that there were several free-range chickens in the yard, as well as a doghouse and a yellow and white Chinese pastoral dog Lazy. Lying proudly at the door of the kennel, when he saw Li Mu, he ignored him, let alone barked and bit him.

Is this the Huanglaofeng Morality Palace, known as the No. 1 martial arts temple in Wuwei Prefecture?

Li Mu was stunned and speechless.

He looked back at Qingniu and asked, "Are you going the wrong way?"

Qing Niu smiled slightly and said: "The master is inside, you can go in by yourself."

All right.

It seems that we are not heading the wrong way.

Li Mu stood at the door of the bead fence, paused, and pushed the door open.

Squeak!

The sound of the bamboo door attracted the attention of the chickens in the yard. One of the three-colored orange, red, and black roosters suddenly raised its neck and stared at Li Mu. His eyes were full of vigilance, as if he was afraid of Li Mu. Just like he was fighting for territory and hens, the big yellow and white dog didn't even open its eyes, still looking lazy, as if everything was none of my business.

"This dog is lazier than General Husky."

Li Mu sighed.

Everything has a rustic feel.

For such a dazed moment, Li Mu thought he was back in the Deneng Temple Village on Earth.

"I entered Li Mu at the end of my studies and met the master of the Taoist Palace."

Li Mu came to the door of the bamboo house and saluted with his hands in hand.

"come in."

A clear and clear voice came from inside.

Li Mu stepped up the steps and pushed the door open.

The room is well lit, bright and spacious.

An old man with white eyebrows and beard was sitting on a bamboo chair in the living room, playing chess with a middle-aged man opposite who smelled of alcohol. To Li Mu's surprise, the chess they played was exactly Chinese chess... Well, to be fair, how old is the master of the Dao Palace and how old is the Chinese chess player? The years don't match up.

That middle-aged man smelling of alcohol should be the Hidden Sword Sea Sword Lord that Qingniu calls him.

On the way here just now, Li Mu asked a few questions and found out that this sword master was a big shot. His sword energy spread across the wilderness, and the light of his sword chilled nine heavens and ten earths. It was said that he had the most murderous aura and the strongest sword intent in the human race for thousands of years. A powerful giant, just because in the past hundred years, this sword master felt that the murderous intention in his heart was too much, and the sword edge could not hide it, so he often came to Huanglaofeng to cleanse himself with the inaction energy of the Taoist Palace. The murderous sword intention and blunting the edge of one's own sword can be regarded as a kind of self-correction and practice.

The middle-aged man raised his eyelids and glanced at Li Mu.

Li Mu felt as if the hairs on his hair stood up all of a sudden. Those eyes were like two peerless swords, piercing Li Mu's body and soul at once, making him feel as if he was being picked up in mid-air by something sharp. It felt like my heart was suddenly overwhelmed by the fear of death.

Just a glance.

Li Mu had no doubt that if this middle-aged man had murderous intentions towards him, he could be doomed with just one look.

terrible.

On the contrary, this old man with white beard and white eyebrows has a burly figure and a strange face. He gives people a kind and gentle feeling without any oppression, just like a carefree grandfather in a nursing home.

"I've met two seniors."

Li Mu bowed and saluted.

"Haha, you should know how to play this kind of chess, why don't you come over and have a look." The old man turned back and glanced at Li Mu with a smile.

Li Mu walked over as instructed.

His chess skills were not very good, that is, they were at the level of ordinary passers-by. He originally thought that he would not be able to tell what was going on in front of these two big guys, but who knew that as soon as he took a look over, three drops of sweat would flow from his forehead.

This is...you're kidding me.

Are you playing me?

Li Mu's first reaction was that these two martial arts masters from the chaotic world were joking with him, but after watching for a while, he was finally sure that these two were really not acting, but real people.

Two stinky chess baskets!

It's about the same level as myself.

In addition to comparing the two, the master of the Dao Palace has slightly higher chess skills.

Li Mu was a little confused at that time. No, isn't it said that a strong martial artist has a mind like lightning, a wisdom like the sea, and insight into every detail? Why are these two people so bad at chess? Shouldn't they be able to instantly kill the chess masters on earth after just a few moves?

"Hahaha, it's a draw, old guy, your chess is getting better and better, and you can even compete with me, the number one chess player in the Hidden Sword Sea..." The drunken middle-aged man said, Suddenly he laughed and raised his hand to disrupt the chess pieces.

ha?

Li Mu was so shocked that he almost bit his tongue.

What is this operation?

This middle-aged drunken man is clearly about to lose. He even swept away the chess pieces. This is... a shame. At this level, he still has the nerve to claim to be the number one chess player in the Hidden Sword Sea and the sword of the Hidden Sword Sea. Immortals generally don't know how to play chess, or have the sword immortals actually made this sword master afraid to beat him?

But the master of the Dao Palace was obviously used to it and didn't take it seriously.

Li Mu had no choice but to wipe his forehead.

The boss is so willful.

"Well, Sword Lord's chess skills have indeed improved." After finishing speaking, the master of the Dao Palace looked at Li Mu and said: "I think my little friend is also a chess player, why not come and play a game with Sword Lord? Sword Lord is so powerful. In the world, besides swords, chess is the best thing, and making friends with chess is the joy of the sword master's life."

ah?

let me?

So, you two bosses, you called me here just to play chess?

The sword master smiled, quite pleased with himself, and said: "Okay, you old guy, you will no longer be my opponent soon. It would be good to find a new chess friend. Come on, little guy, let me see your chess prowess." ." Pointing to the bamboo chair for Li Mu to sit on, he showed no airs of seniority at all.

Li Mu thought for a while and was about to take a seat when he heard the master of the Dao Palace suddenly say: "Wait a minute, how can there be no luck in the first game of chess? What if Li Xiaoyou wins?"

"Can this kid beat me?" The sword master took out a jar of wine from nowhere, drank it all in one gulp, and laughed, "If he can beat me in a round, I will choose him in the [White Sword Sutra]." Teach him one move, hey, if he has this ability, then I will dare to teach him all seventy-two moves."

"Is this true?" The face of the old man in Daogong also showed a look of shock: "I remember that your three descendants have not yet received the true inheritance of the [White Sword Sutra]? Are you willing to do so?"

The Sword Lord drank another jar of wine, became very excited, and said: "I've never spoken before. Besides, if this kid wants to get the Sword Scripture, it depends on his ability. After all, if he wants to win my chess game, where can I say it?" It’s that easy.”

The old man from Daogong remained silent, nodded, and glanced at Li Mu again.

Li Mu felt very strange.

Are you helping yourself?

It seems like he is digging a hole for Sword Lord.

However, no matter which aspect you look at, this is a good thing. The Sword Lord is the top giant in this world. To be able to sit opposite the master of the Dao Palace, I am afraid that he is at least an emperor-level figure. The "White Sword with a Bright Head" in his mouth Sutra], it must be an imperial sutra-level martial arts canon.

How about winning seventy-two games in a row?

Li Mu sat on the bamboo chair and began to feel secretly happy in his heart.

However, he himself is also a bad chess player. He didn't dare to say anything, but he was 100% sure of defeating the Sword Lord.

How to do it?

Li Mu's head turned and he suddenly remembered a joke he had seen in his previous life on earth.

So, he took out a mobile phone from the storage space, adjusted the screen generously, turned on the music player, and said: "When I play chess, I like to play some familiar music..."

Sword Lord said: "You also have this thing? I've seen it in the hands of that bastard Zhong Dajun, the Beast King. It's called a mobile phone, right? It's just a useless trick... That bastard is addicted to this thing, playing with it, losing his mind, and playing chess. It’s extremely smelly and vulnerable.”

Beast King Zhong Dajun?

Li Mu laughed a little when he heard this name, but he also had a mobile phone? Could it be that this person also came from the earth? He kept an eye on it and wrote down the name so that he could investigate it later.

"Senior, please go first," Li Mu said.

The sword master was not polite and directly held the red chess piece. The first step was to become a sergeant.

Li Mu played with his mobile phone and played chess.

Before it was time for a cup of tea, Jianjun was dumbfounded.

Lost.

"Are you... so strong?" He stared at Li Mu with wide eyes.

Of course, this time there was nothing as terrifying as the soul-piercing glance that Li Mu had when he first walked in. He looked more like a living person with seven emotions and six desires.

The Lord of the Dao Palace said: "Old man, you lost a move."

"I didn't expect that you, kid, would be so accomplished in chess. Okay, I'm going to take it seriously... let's play another game." Jianjun quickly rearranged the chessboard.

"Senior, please." Li Mu said.

After a cup of tea time.

"Come again." Jianjun said unconvinced.

After that--

"Come again."

"Come again."

"Come again."

Within an hour, the world-famous swordsman lost twelve games in the hands of Li Mu, and he lost every game cleanly. Li Mu moved the chess like flying. Once the sword master made a move, he would move as he pleased. Chess, on the other hand, was the sword master himself, scratching his head and thinking about it for a long time.
