Chapter 3428: A match between fellow disciples, worthy of Haoran

A wisp of spring breeze blew by, and a middle-aged man wearing a white scholar's shirt appeared in the attic. His expression was bleak, his temples stained with frost, his deep and intelligent eyes looked a bit tired, and his face was elegant and gentle. Ruyu, a humble gentleman, his eyes are calm, as warm as the sun, giving people a feeling of spring breeze, his eyes fell on the face of the thin old man, and he said softly.

"Elder brother, long time no see!"

When Cui Zhang heard this familiar voice and saw this familiar figure, the expression on his face changed continuously. His eyes were sometimes cold, sometimes warm, just like changing his face, and finally he became expressionless, as if he was speaking calmly like an ancient well.

"Junior Brother Qi, I didn't expect you to come here. Why are you interested in this game of asking questions? You want to place the pieces on the chessboard and have a game with me!"

Qi Jingchun flipped his sleeves and with a move of his right hand, a huanghuali carved dragon chair fell in front of the table. He did not rush to answer Cui Han, but walked to the chair, sat down slowly, and reached out to pick up the teapot on the table. He helped Cui Cheng fill the teacup in front of him. When it was full, it overflowed. The tea overflowed from the cup and flowed on the table.

Cui Han's face changed slightly. Ever since Qi Jingchun appeared, he seemed to have lost his calmness and his mood fluctuated greatly. He took a deep look at the filled tea cup and said with a sneer.

"Junior Brother Qi, don't overfill the tea. Don't you understand this rule?"

Afterwards, Qi Jingchun did not respond, but turned his eyes to look at Zhou Jue who was smiling, nodded, and poured tea for him. The tea was only seven-percent full. Obviously he understood the principle of not being too full of tea. He wanted to use This kind of behavior tells Cui Chang that when the water is full, it overflows, and when the moon is full, it will lose. Don't calculate everything and leave no room for anything.

In the end, Qi Jingchun poured himself a cup of tea, which was only seventy percent full. He slowly picked up the teacup, signaled to Cui Han, took a sip, and said.

"Since senior brother knows that the tea should not be too full, he should know that everything must not be done to the full. Why do you plot against Chen Ping'an again and again? He is also Mr.'s student and our junior brother. You always make things difficult for him. Could it be that Don’t you care about the friendship of the same family at all?”

Cui Han sneered, reached out to pick up the overflowing teacup, and drank it all in one gulp. His narrow eyes were like lancets, with sharp cold light shining on Qi Jingchun's gentle and gentle face. Countless thoughts flashed through his mind. Memories of the past, the two studied together under the old scholar, traveled the vast world together, experienced all kinds of things in the world, and finally parted ways and became strangers.

"I am no longer your sect member, I have betrayed the literary saint lineage!"

Qi Jingchun's face remained as usual, and he put down the tea cup in his hand very calmly. His movements were neither hasty nor slow, and every move showed the beauty of etiquette. It was obvious that his cultivation level had improved during this period, and he had reached the point where he could do whatever he wanted without going beyond the rules. This was already It is comparable to the realm of Confucian sages, not weaker than old scholars and others.

"Then why didn't you object when I called you Senior Brother just now? Why do you still call me Junior Brother Qi?"

"Sir has never publicly said that he would expel you from the literary saint lineage, so you are still my senior brother from the literary saint lineage!"

When Cui Chan studied under the old scholar, his knowledge was not consistent with what the old scholar taught. Cui Chan majored in the theory of meritorious service, which was the avenue in his heart. Due to fundamental differences in knowledge, Cui Chan and the Wen Sheng lineage were destined to part ways and take a different path.

In order to prove his theory of meritorious service, Cui Chan could not continue to stay in the lineage of literary saints. He chose to leave and go to Aquarius Continent, the smallest place in the world of Haoran, where he served as a national advisor in the then very weak Dali Dynasty and promoted his theory of meritorious service, thereby proving to Confucianism that his knowledge was the most suitable for the secular world of Haoran. Dynastic.

Of course, another reason is that for the sake of stability in the world, the old scholar took the initiative to admit defeat during the March 4th Movement and imprisoned himself in Gongdelin. This also implicated Cui Yi and intensified his break with the literary sage lineage, which ultimately led to his He rebelled against his master.

Cui Chang chose a lonely and difficult path in order to pursue his own ideals and pursue his own theory of meritorious deeds. He did not hesitate to bear the infamy, bear the burden of humiliation, and made every possible plan to lay out his plans for the world.

However, the literary sage lineage never took the initiative to remove Cui Chan from the outside world. Even after the old scholar walked out of the meritorious forest, he never said that Cui Chan was a traitor and still regarded him as his student and disciple.

When Cui Zhang heard this, his right hand holding the tea cup trembled slightly, and then he covered it up. There was no expression on his face, his cold eyes stared at Qi Jingchun, and he said in a cold voice.

"Whether Xian Wen Shengcheng admits it or not, I have betrayed the school. We are no longer brothers in the same school. Chen Ping'an doesn't need to care about that incense love!"

When Qi Jingchun heard this, his expression was as usual, unmoved, as if he had no emotional fluctuations in Cui Han's abandonment of old feelings. He said nonchalantly with a faint smile on his weathered and elegant face.

"Since senior brother said so, junior brother can only stay with me until the end. How about we talk about it again?"

Cui Han is one of the top three great players in the world of chess. His chess skills make Lu Baixiang in Ouhua Blessed Land regard him as his idol. Cui Dongshan can easily defeat Lu Baixiang with only three or four points of his chess skills. This shows that His chess skills are so high that few people in the world can match him.

Back then, the chess game between Cui Han and Zheng Juzhong in the sea of ​​clouds above Baidi City was earth-shattering. It was regarded as the pinnacle game by all chess players in the world. The process of the game between the two was compiled into the "Colorful Cloud Spectrum", which was spread all over the world. Countless chess players regard it as a treasure and study it carefully.

Cui Zhang's layout, every step is wonderful, the momentum is like wind and thunder, seeping through the paper, rushing towards the face, suffocating people, the chess skills can be called flawless shortcuts, the charm is diluted, the subtleties are high and far-reaching, there are no wrong moves, no faint moves, it makes people feel Extremely shocking and amazing. In the end, although he lost to Zheng Juzhong, the lord of Baidi City, it can only be said that he was born at the wrong time. He happened to meet Zheng Juzhong, an unprecedented great chess player, and he had already achieved great success.

Just like when Zheng Juzhong met Zhou Jue, it was not that the master of Baidi City was not good at chess, but that Zhou Jue was beyond the world and definitely not from the world. How could a person on the top of a mountain compete with a person in heaven?

Although Qi Jingchun is an unprecedented Confucian genius, he broke the shackles of the sage master, merged the three religions into one, condensed his three original names, and entered the fourteenth realm. He is still one of the top beings in this realm, and is known as Although he has the qualifications to be the ancestor of the ancestral clan, if he only talks about his chess skills, it would be difficult to beat Cui Han, a great player.

"It seems that Junior Brother Qi's chess skills have greatly improved and he is now confident to play against me!"

Cui Han's expression moved slightly, and his cold gaze was like a sword piercing Qi Jingchun's body, as if he wanted to cut his body to pieces to see what he was thinking inside.

In their early years, Cui Yi and Qi Jingchun studied together under the old scholar. The old scholar was particularly fond of Qi Jingchun, a young disciple, and took care of him in every possible way. Cui Yi also felt a bit jealous, and he often tortured Qi Jingchun in the chess game to vent his inner feelings. Some resentment.

"Elder brother has superb chess skills and is more skilled than Taoist. Naturally, I am no match for him. But this time the Shujian Lake Wenxin Game involves the future of my junior brother Chen Ping'an. Even though I am overestimating my abilities, I want to ask my elder brother for advice. !”

Qi Jingchun blinked, picked up the tea cup in front of her again, took a sip, her faint smile was like the spring breeze, dispelling the bleakness and chill of late autumn. She looked towards the lake, looking at Gu Gu, whose arrogance was comparable to that of a prince in a secular dynasty. Can, the smile on his face faded, shook his head slightly, then focused his eyes and looked at a corner of Chishui City. The straw sandal boy in the past had grown up, had some achievements, and was in full bloom, which was very gratifying.

"Senior Brother, I am actually very curious about how my junior brother will choose when faced with this question of heart. Whether he can break the shackles, stick to the truth in his heart, make progress, and make further progress!"

Qi Jingchun has high hopes and confidence in Chen Pingan, and does not seem to worry at all that Chen Pingan will be ruined and his road will be cut off.

"In that case, I'll wait and see if your chess skills have improved over the years?!"

Cui Han pondered for a moment, then nodded and agreed to Qi Jingchun's request for a hand-to-hand discussion. His thin face shone with confidence. He was sure of victory and full of confidence.

Zhou Jue watched with cold eyes the reminiscing between the two senior brothers after a long separation, with an interested smile on his face. Hearing this, he clapped his hands and said with a smile.

"Interesting, interesting!"

"It's a once-in-a-lifetime showdown between two of the most famous disciples of an old scholar. Why don't you let me be a witness?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhou Jue raised his right hand, put his two fingers together, and used his fingers as a sword. The sharp sword energy puffed out at his fingertips, making a hissing sound, piercing the void. Then he flicked his right hand, and the sword The air shot out, roared past, and landed on the open space in the room. The void twisted and expanded, and a small world enveloped the entire top floor.

The three towering mountains are like pillars of heaven, straight up from the ground, drilling into the ninth level of the sky. There is a plain in the middle of the three mountains, which is vast and endless as far as the eye can see. Thirty-eight sword energy fell from the high sky, and fell into the sky. Nineteen ravines were carved out on the flat land, forming a clear black and white chessboard.

Zhou Jue, Qi Jingchun, and Cui Han were sitting cross-legged on the top of a mountain. Looking across the sky, an extremely solemn atmosphere condensed. The situation in the sky and the earth changed. The black clouds pressed down. Cui Han twisted his fingers. , the dark clouds turned into black chess pieces. It landed on the chessboard, and the strong wind swept across it. When it passed by Qi Jingchun, it turned into white chess pieces and fell on the plain. The black and white chess pieces were like soldiers on the battlefield, fighting back and forth, blood flowing. The river formed, extremely tragic.

Zhou Jue stared coldly at the brothers who were fighting on this heaven and earth chessboard. Cui Han's chess skills were domineering, his moves were wonderful, and his momentum was like wind and thunder. It penetrated the paper and rushed towards your face, making people feel suffocated. It was a flawless shortcut, and the charm was diluted. , be as subtle as possible and achieve great heights, with no wrong moves or faint moves.

Qi Jingchun deeply understood the true meaning of Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism. He should remain unchanged to cope with all changes, and should fight without fighting. The spring breeze turned into rain, moistening things silently, and quietly resolved a series of Cui Han's killing moves. If he does not fall behind, he can also be called a great player in the chess world.

A gentleman can bully someone. When Cui Chan set up the test in the small town, for Chen Pingan, there were more external temptations and it was not pure enough, so Cui Chan lost so miserably. In the final analysis, he underestimated a young man from a mean alley. Since Chen Ping'an was selected by Qi Jingchun, he was naturally outstanding. Cui Zhang became more cautious and set this test based on his true heart.

The most interesting part of the Qinxin chess game Cui Chan set up this time lies in the word "heat". The complexity of the truth lies in the fact that when one goes to the countryside and does as the Romans do, it is dispensable. The truth can be said or not. Between the laws and principles, one place The law and its own principles can all be confused.

Shujian Lake is a lawless place. Secular laws do not apply, let alone the teachings of sages and sages. Even the rules established among the many Shujian Lake islands will not apply. Here, big fish eat small fish, small fish eat shrimps, people eat people, and people don’t regard people as people, but as prey and food. Everything is done with fists. Almost everyone is killing and killing. Once they are trapped, , no one can be an exception.

These principles can all be valid reasons for Chen Pingan to take a step back to seek peace of mind. Cui Chang deliberately gave Chen Pingan leeway. He did not directly force Chen Pingan into a desperate situation, but gave him countless possibilities to choose from. , avenues, and forks are all laid out at Chen Pingan's feet, and no one will stop him.

In this way, Cui Zhang can make Chen Ping'an feel that there seems to be no logical truth in the world. For the sake of Gu Can, he has to choose to deny himself and accept the world's attitude that there is only one position and no right or wrong. Damn theory.

If a good and reasonable person encounters a world that believes in fists at heart and only talks about reason, then this good person will become bloody, tie his own hands and feet, and draw the ground as a prison. In this way, how can Chen Pingan talk about disappointment and peace in the end? Hope is truly wonderful, so wonderful!

Zhou Jue understood all of Cui Han's calculations in a single thought, and couldn't help but be amazed by Cui Han's calculations and scheming. People's hearts have been killed by him. He can only rely on himself in this game, no one can help him. Chen Ping'an, otherwise it will make him feel defective and cut off his path.

This is why Qi Jingchun was not worried at all when Cui Han saw Zhou Jue. He was sitting firmly on Diaoyutai and had a sure chance of victory. If Chen Pingan wanted to break the situation, he could only rely on himself, and he had to break his own inherent cognition and inner truth. , has been persisting, this can almost be said to be more difficult than climbing to the sky.

"Gu Can's mother, Chen Ping'an felt that she was a life-saving benefactor to him. He has as much affection for Gu Can as Liu Xianyang, and treats Gu Can as his biological brother. Even that loach. , it was handed over to Gu Can by Chen Pingan himself. "

"Chen Ping'an believes in the four words on the archway in Lizhu Dongtian Town. Don't ask for help from outside. Although the reasons for those who died in vain can be explained, once he chooses to give in and escape, there will be no peace of mind. "

"It won't work if Chen Pingan pretends that he can't see it, because Chen Pingan has lost the most precious and rare innocent heart. Moreover, if Chen Pingan really can't see it, it doesn't matter. Cui Chan will find someone to remind him ”

Zhou Jue kept thinking about it. All the disciples of Wen Sheng's lineage are extraordinary and have extremely high achievements. In the future, the weeping of the sky will come, the barbaric world will invade the vast world, all living beings will perish, and the people will be robbed. Wen Sheng's lineage will step forward to save the sky and make people Marvel.

"The old scholar used the combination of Yin and Shen to dominate the world, shattering the three continents, and preventing the wilderness from invading his destiny. However, he himself suffered inhuman torture all the time."

"The eldest disciple, Xiuhu Cui Chun, had countless strategies and was very scheming in the world. He later helped the Great Li Dynasty annex other dynasties and unified the Aquarius Continent. When the vast world was being robbed, he used the power of one continent to hold back the sky and died. remove."

"The second disciple, each with a sword, guards Tongyezhou. The third disciple, Jun Qian, returns to the vast world and asks the gods and demons outside the world. The fourth disciple, Qi Jingchun, combines the three religions into one, can be called the ancestor, and helps Cui Chan suppress Zhou Mi. , Sacrificing one’s life for righteousness is admirable.”

"Chen Ping'an, the closed disciple, combined half of the Great Wall of Sword Qi to suppress the wild world and become neither human nor ghost!"

"The lineage of literary saints is worthy of Haoran, but Haoran is ashamed!"

Zhou Jue sighed and looked at Cui Chan's old figure. His eyes softened a bit. The reason why he didn't take action in the game of asking the heart this time was, on the one hand, to use Cui Chan's game to temper Chen Pingan and help him. He washed away all his troubles and made further progress. On the other hand, he also admired Cui Chan's future feats and was unwilling to embarrass this great disciple of the literary sage lineage.

The boat on the lake slowly docked. The boat was so majestic and huge that the Young City Master Fan Yan and others on the shore of the ferry could only raise their necks to look at it.

At the bow of the ship, Gu Can, who was wearing a dark blue python robe, jumped off the railing. Senior sister Tian Hujun patted the python robe for him naturally. He seemed to be benefiting from it, but Gu Can's eyes were clear, without any trace of addiction, and he still remained calm and awake. , must not really treat him as a young man.

Jiejiang Zhenjun Liu Zhimao once said with a smile at a celebration banquet that only Gu Can could inherit his mantle best. He even looked around the disciples in the hall with sadness and admitted that the future owner of Qingxia Island would only be Gu Can. No one should try to fight for it, otherwise without Gu Can doing anything, he would clean up the door himself, and the corpses would never go to waste.

It can be seen from this that Gu Can's wisdom is by no means simple. No wonder he can achieve such a big name as the Prince of Jianghu.

Gu Can got off the boat, and surrounded by a group of people including Fan Yan, the Young Master of Chishui City, the group got into several luxurious and extravagant carriages and drove towards the city with rolling wheels.

On the busy streets of Chishui City, a thrilling siege took place. An eighth-level sword cultivator, an eighth-level far-reaching martial artist, and a golden elixir level master who has set up the formation are enough to kill Gu Can.

The result was surprising. The carriage of the second carriage exploded, and a woman wearing a veil appeared. She stood in front of Gu Can, allowing the Eighth Realm Sword Cultivator's natal flying sword to pierce her heart. She punched the Far Travel Realm warrior who flew over to her and killed her. She held a heart that she had cut out of her chest in her hand, opened her mouth wide, and swallowed it in one gulp. Then she caught up with the sword cultivator and punched him on the back, dug out another heart, and hovered in the wind, allowing the cultivator's golden elixir to escape.

This graceful woman was the little loach from the beginning, a dragon in the Nascent Soul Realm, and her combat power was comparable to that of a Ninth Realm warrior plus a Nascent Soul cultivator.

The little loach returned to the first carriage and chewed the taste of the Eighth Realm Sword Cultivator's heart carefully. It was difficult to eat such a delicious meal in Shujian Lake.

Gu Can, who was wearing a dark green python robe, jumped off the carriage, walked to her side, stretched out his fingers, helped her wipe the corners of her mouth, and complained.

"Little Loach, how many times have I told you not to eat in such an ugly way! Do you still want to eat at the same table with me and mother in the future?!"

Little Loach smiled shyly and turned his head away, a little embarrassed, but this scene made everyone shudder.
