I will bury the gods

Chapter 231

Early autumn, night.

Gong Yu stood by the window, listening to the mournful chirping of insects coming from the cold wind. Wudandan is dotted with towns and villages, thousands of houses are lit up at night, and it is very quiet. This is the birthplace of the world’s orthodox tradition. Impressed by his ears and eyes, he will raise his palms and solemnly say "Fusheng Wuliang Tianzun".

She stood by the window for a long time.

She likes to stand by the window, not because she likes to watch the night outside, nor because looking out from the window helps her recall, but because she turns her back, Lin Shouxi will occasionally watch her quietly, as if recalling something.

For hundreds of years, she has already stood on the top of the world's ascetics and is admired and loved by the world, but this feeling of being quietly stared at is unique. She always has an illusion that she is still the same seven-year-old girl as before. A little girl who is [-] years old, the master who is ten years older than her stands behind her, watching her gently but sternly, and accompanying her to grow up slowly.

This kind of imagination is unthinkable to her.

For hundreds of years, in the bloody killings and lonely monastery, she has felt the terrifying power of time, and her heart has long been as cold as iron. Although the memories of her childhood are engraved in her heart with the arrival of the day of breaking the wall, they are only engraved in her heart. That's all, 300 years later, when she recalled the past, she often felt that she was just watching other people's stories with a cold eye.

She was devoted to the Tao, and just when she thought that one day her heart would turn into real ice, she went to the Three Realms Village, where she saw the most terrifying demon in her childhood memory, and also met her 'master' who should have been shattered.

These were two unparalleled sharp swords, which pierced into her heart unexpectedly, making her uneasy and unsteady, causing cracks to appear in the ice in her heart, and began to disintegrate.

Before she could think about everything clearly, her mother's letter came. This was the third sword, which surprised and confused her. For many moments, she even felt that this world was false.

Gong Yu couldn't figure out how long it had been since his heart was in such a mess.

The way Lin Shouxi looked at her was also different. He seemed to be thinking about something. Many nights, Gong Yu woke up from a dream, staring at this handsome young man, and couldn't restrain the desire to transform into a god. She entered the body and searched for his memory, but she held back, searching for the soul was done by evil ways, and she could not betray her own way because of selfish desires.

So she gradually fell in love with the feeling of being watched. She seemed to be expecting him to remember something, but she was also worried, if he really remembered, how would she face it?

Gong Yu didn't dare to think about it.

The lights outside are getting weaker and weaker, and they are going out one by one, like fireflies dying on an autumn night.

She turned away at last.

Lin Shouxi was meditating and had closed his eyes. There were still countless scars on his skin, which were the marks left by punching for a month.

"You seem unhappy again?"

Gong Yu walked to his side, sat down with a smile on her face, leaned her body slightly, crossed her slender jade legs, casually picked up a blue and crystal clear grape, and put it between her bright red lips.

In the past two months, she likes to laugh very much. She doesn't know what is so happy about it, but she always smiles, laughing more than in the past 100 years.

"Do you have to participate in this martial arts conference?" Lin Shouxi opened his eyes and asked.

"You don't want to go?" Gong Yu asked.

"I don't feel good." Lin Shouxi said seriously.

"Really? I think you just want to go back to the Taoist school." Gong Yu played with the little grape between his fingers, and said, "You are so eager to return to your heart. Could it be that you had a crush on some senior sister when you were young? If you want to take a concubine after you get back, you will be punished."

"Master, I am serious."

Lin Shouxi didn't know how to persuade him, but felt restless.

"Do you think this martial arts conference will be dangerous?" Gong Yu asked.

Lin Shouxi nodded, he had always been keenly aware of danger.

Gong Yu's expression did not fluctuate. She has absolute confidence and even conceit in terms of realm strength. She said: "It is much better for danger to surface than to hide under water. I want to see who wants to see it." To bring disaster to the world."

Lin Shouxi wanted to persuade him a little more, but Gong Yu said abruptly: "Shaolin will also participate in this martial arts conference. It is said that among the disciples representing Shaolin, there is also a little girl who is called the Holy Bodhisattva."

Gong Yu smiled seductively. She admired Lin Shouxi's slightly surprised expression and asked, "If you really want to go back to Taoism, tell me now, and we will leave immediately."

After Xiaohe left Guangning Temple, Gong Yu met her once.

At that time, Xiaohe was riding a big white tiger and wandering aimlessly in the world. Many officers and soldiers heard about it and thought it was evil spirits, so they wanted to send someone to arrest them. Lost in spirit, hissing endlessly, unable to get close at all, in desperation, he had to report the matter to the Taoist sect.

In the end, Gongyu 'surrendered' the two white tigers.

Meeting an old acquaintance in a foreign land, after seeing Gong Yu, Xiaohe's eyes turned red unknowingly, and she buried her head in Gong Yu's arms and cried for a while, as if her daughter who was bullied outside saw her mother.In the past, Xiaohe seldom cried. She experienced so much suffering when she was a child, and she only cried secretly when she was in extreme pain, but since she met Lin Shouxi, she seemed to squander all the tears saved in her childhood.

She told Gong Yu about the matter between Lin Shouxi and Chu Yingchan, and Gong Yu was also very surprised when she heard it. She never thought that the good apprentice she had carefully trained would do such a thing. He promised that when he returned to the mountain next time, he would help her vent her anger.

But Xiaohe refused, Gong Yu asked the reason, she said, it seemed that she was not magnanimous enough, Gong Yu couldn't help being angry when she heard this, and asked, after all this, you still think about her?Seeing that Xiaohe still bowed her head and said nothing, Gong Yu became even angrier, wishing to beat up the little girl in front of her to vent her anger.

Gong Yu asked Xiaohe again, asking how the relationship between Lin Shouxi and Chu Yingchan was ambiguous, Xiaohe shook his head, expressing that he didn't know, Gong Yu was even more confused, and asked Xiaohe, don't you want to know?Xiaohe replied, saying that she wanted to know, Gong Yu asked her why she didn't ask, Xiaohe faltered, and finally said that she dared not listen, she was afraid that she would be moved by their stories.

After hearing this, Gong Yu couldn't help pushing others and imagining herself as Xiao He, so the more she thought about it, the more angry she became, wishing to press this soft-hearted and annoying little girl on her knees and suck her butt to pieces.

Gong Yu volunteered to tell Xiaohe that she would meet Lin Shouxi and teach her a lesson.In fact, Gong Yu knew in her heart that this was just an excuse. She really wanted to see Lin Shouxi again, this young man who was suspected to be the reincarnation of her master.

If he was really the reincarnation of the master, she might have to call Xiaohe and Chu Yingchan the teacher's wife. Thinking of this, she felt very strange.

Xiaohe agreed after hesitation. Xiaohe respected this senior with a high level of Taoism, and asked her what he should do.

Gong Yu has been alone for 300 years, and her best friends have already married and established businesses, and she has raised a beautiful daughter who is enough to top the list of goddesses, but she has never had the idea of ​​getting married, so she has no actual experience in this kind of thing , but in the face of the little girl's question, she still appeared to be prudent and mature, and answered without shame.

She said that as the saying goes, the head of the bed fights at the end of the bed, so the conflict between husband and wife is usually just a fight. The more serious the conflict, the more intense the fight needs to be resolved.

Xiaohe looked at her suspiciously, her cheeks flushed slightly, wondering if this really meant what she said?

Gong Yu decisively helped her make a decision.

The following martial arts conference is a very good opportunity. Although Gong Yu didn't discuss it with Xiaohe in detail, she knew that Xiaohe would definitely go.

"No need, this disciple is willing to go to the banquet with Master." After hearing this, Lin Shouxi changed his words immediately, and his attitude was firm.

"Well, what a good disciple, come, master reward you—" Gong Yu picked up a grape, gave it to Lin Shouxi's lips with his fingertips.

Lin Shouxi was sitting upright, and when the master smiled so charmingly, he was not at all like a Taoist fairy in Yunkong Mountain, but more like a big fox who had practiced Taoism for a thousand years, seductive and ecstatic.How dare he open his mouth, he immediately closed his lips to prevent the grapes from entering.

"Don't you want to eat?" Gong Yu's expression changed slightly, and he said lightly: "If you don't want to eat, I will tell Xiaohe about Master Zushan."

Shizushan... Lin Shouxi's heart tightened, so he could only open his mouth and let the sweet grapes enter his mouth.

Lin Shouxi didn't understand, he obviously won that battle, and according to the worldly perspective, he took advantage of the sky, shaking Shizu Mountain, which had never swallowed the wind and moon for 300 years, but now he was caught The handle was frequently threatened by the master.

"That's good." Gong Yu smiled slightly.

Lin Shouxi always felt that she was going to play tricks on him, so he took the initiative to change the subject, "Master, I have always had a question."

"You said."

"What is the reason why the master came all the way to this world?" Lin Shouxi asked.

The smile on Gong Yu's cheeks faded away, her expression was cold, and a daze flashed in her eyes, she only answered two words: "Guardian."

"Guardian?"

"Well, this is the wish left by my parents." Gong Yu said.

"The gate of another world? Where is it? Is it hidden in the Taoist gate?" Lin Shouxi asked another matter of concern.

"The door to another world..."

A smile appeared on the corner of Gong Yu's bright red lips. She stretched out a finger, waved it in front of Lin Shouxi's eyes, and said with a giggle, "It's far away in the sky, but it's close in front of us."

……

The fox-like charm of last night seemed to be an illusion. When Gong Yu woke up in the morning, Gong Yu put on a white silk dress and put back the draped gauze. A cold fairy, awe-inspiring and inviolable.

In the past, she lived in the Taoist sect and seldom went out. Even such a magnificent streamer phantom was rarely seen by the world. Today she appeared in Wudang Mountain, where thousands of people were empty. Although her true face was hidden by the fence, but Anyone who sees the fairy face will be astonished as a heavenly being.

Lin Shouxi, who was walking with him, also attracted countless gazes. The young man's bright eyes and white teeth, handsome and delicate, beautiful and almost demonic, formed a stark contrast with the bright fairy spirit of the master of the Taoist sect.

Of course, there is also contempt in these gazes.

This is contempt for prisoners.

Since the battle of the ancient Zhen sect, everyone in the world knew that Lin Shouxi, who was famous all over the world, had been captured by the head of the Taoist sect. Some people admired him, while others despised him, saying that he was shameless and violated the justice of the world.

Lin Shouxi ignored people's gazes and just followed Gong Yu to Wudang Mountain.

As soon as he reached the foot of the mountain, Lin Shouxi stopped.

He meets someone.

A haggard young man with blazing eyes.

The young man didn't look much older than him. He stood at the entrance of an alley with his sleeves rolled up. The alley was already crowded with many people, but now with the arrival of Lin Shouxi and Gong Yu, it was even more crowded.

Lin Shouxi didn't recognize this young man, but after he arrived, the young man's eyes fixed on him.

"Do you recognize me?" The young man took the initiative to come to him.

"You are..." Lin Shouxi really didn't remember him.

A gleam of sullenness flashed in the young man's fiery eyes. He stared at Lin Shouxi for a while, and after confirming that he was not lying, he said coldly, "My name is Gu Shicai, and I was number four in the world for three years."

Ranked No. [-] in the world in three years, for most young geniuses, this is enough to stand out from the crowd, but the young man in front of him didn't have the slightest arrogance when he said this. On the contrary, he seemed ashamed.

Lin Shouxi really didn't know him. In the past, he didn't even know Ji Luoyang's name.

"Are you number one in the world now?" Lin Shouxi asked.

He, Mu Shijing, and Ji Luoyang all went to another world, so according to the arrangement of the Yun Dian Ranking, the former fourth should become the first.

"I'm No. 30 II in the world now." Gu Shicai replied.

Lin Shouxi frowned, wondering why he fell so badly.

Gu Shicai seemed to see his doubts, and took the initiative to answer: "I practiced hard day and night, rarely slept, read all the mental methods I could see, and ate all the treasures I could get. My realm has risen, and the three of you will always be above me. Since I was young, I wanted to be number one in the world, but I felt hopeless in this life, so..."

"So I stopped practicing and changed to another path. I want to change to another path and go farther than everyone else on that path!"

Gu Shicai's words were forceful, and while he was speaking, he stepped aside, revealing the alley behind him.

There are nine chessboards in the alley behind them. They are nine chess games that are going on at the same time. The chessboards are criss-crossed and black and white are distinct.

"I'm a chess player now, the number one chess master in the world." Gu Shicai finally showed a hint of pride.

In the martial arts conference, there are many heroes coming together, and there are many masters in chess among them. Now the nine people sitting in this alley are all famous chess players. The list of everyone's names is extremely scary, but now Gu Shicai invited nine of them to fight at the same time, in order to prove his title as a chess master.

He was originally obsessed with chess, but Lin Shouxi suddenly came, so he lost interest in chess, he abandoned the chess pieces, and immediately came to Lin Shouxi.

"Congratulations." Lin Shouxi didn't know what to say. Although the young man in front of him had practiced martial arts and was almost bewitched, in any case, he was much better than Ji Luoyang who had really fallen into the bewitching way.

Facing Lin Shouxi's congratulations, Gu Shicai didn't care. He stopped in front of him and blocked his way to Wudang Mountain.

"You want to fight with me?" Lin Shouxi saw what he meant.

"Yes." Gu Shicai said seriously: "I practiced chess to defeat you, but after my mastery of chess, the three of you disappeared at the same time. I was saddened for a long time. More than a month ago, I heard that you were still alive. I searched everywhere, and the day before yesterday I heard that there was going to be a meeting in Wudang, after I got the invitation, I rushed here day and night, and I have not slept for two days."

Lin Shouxi looked at his bloodshot red eyes, saw that he was so infatuated, and couldn't bear to refuse, but he also showed a look of embarrassment, and said, "I'm not proficient in chess."

"It's okay, I can wait for you for ten years or a hundred years." Gu Shicai looked resolute and his words were sonorous. If he didn't know the truth, he might think it was a confession.

"Playing chess is not difficult, don't say you are not proficient, even if you learn it now, you won't lose." Gong Yu watched this scene quietly, and suddenly spoke.

"What did you say?" Gu Shicai's expression was shocked, and he looked at the master of the Taoist sect, his eyes were like swords, and he was not afraid of the majesty of the master at all, "I know that the master of the sect is invincible, but this is only in the realm of cultivation. Let’s just go, isn’t it too arrogant for the sect master to comment on chess like this?”

"What's the arrogance? In the final analysis, chess is nothing more than a word of calculation. Lin Shouxi's realm is far higher than yours, his sea of ​​knowledge is wider than yours, and his computing power is deeper than yours. How can you win?" Gong Yu asked.

"Calculation is just a part of chess. It would be too mediocre to attribute all chess moves to one word of calculation!" Gu Shicai argued hard.

"What else do you rely on if you don't count?" Gong Yu asked back.

"Feeling! Some chess pieces don't have a clear reason, and they fall on the chessboard, relying on feeling." Gu Shicai said firmly.

Gong Yu shook her head lightly, not bothering to argue with the younger generation.

Gu Shicai looked at Lin Shouxi.

"I'll fight with you." Lin Shouxi stopped arguing and simply agreed.

Gu Shicai was overjoyed.

"I'll finish the nine innings first," he said.

Gu Shicai turned around and went back to the alley. With God's help, he made his moves like flying, almost without any thought, while his famous opponents were either caught in the long test, or they were afraid to make a move, and they just gave up and surrendered. They left the field one by one. , An hour later, all nine games of chess were played, and Gu Shicai won with one against nine.

This is something that has never happened before in the chess world, and it is destined to be written as a legend, but Gu Shicai doesn't care about it, he just wants to confront Lin Shouxi and win the battle.

The two of them set up the chessboard. Lin Shouxi held the white pieces, and Gu Shicai held the black pieces. The pieces landed on the chessboard with a crisp sound. This chess game that is likely to become a famous game began in this way.

The chess record was quickly copied and spread, and the major gambling houses also competed to start the game, and the grand occasion was unprecedented.

At the beginning stage, no one could figure it out clearly. Lin Shouxi didn't know enough about chess. In order to avoid losing money, he directly imitated Gu Shicai. In many cases, playing imitation chess is a shameful thing, but Lin Shouxi and Gu Shicai didn't care. Just focus on playing chess.

The chess pieces are slapped one by one, forming the beauty of black and white entangled shapes.

After the fighting at the corners, the occupation expanded to the side, black and white were fighting or forcing, the battle line was getting longer and longer, gradually moving closer to the middle.

Lin Shouxi's chess is very strange, his chess is too simple and direct, there are no memorable moves, and there is no amazing skill, his chess is too simple, so simple that it makes people feel clumsy.

The few chess players who brought the chess records to the people gave Lin Shouxi a large number of special criticisms for his chess, and they almost called him a stinky chess basket. There is no way to be number one in everything.

This battle is not suspenseful in the eyes of the beholder.

But Gu Shicai's moves were getting slower and slower.

Before facing nine people at the same time, he was very energetic, but now he was abnormally caught in the long exam.

Lin Shouxi waited quietly at the side.

He was just the opposite of Gu Shicai. He played slowly at the beginning, but then became faster and faster. The reason is very simple, the more pieces on the chessboard, the less space there will be, and the calculation will be easier.

As Gong Yu said, he has not learned any formulas, he only knows the rules, and his only way of thinking is calculation.

At the time of the layout, he can only calculate roughly, but after the fierce battle in the middle game, when it is near the end, he can calculate almost all the changes.

Gu Shicai is worthy of being the number one chess master in the world. Facing the disparity in computing power, he insisted on relying on years of experience and tenacity. The possibility of winning first-line is retained, but when manpower is exhausted, in terms of his current state, it is almost a matter of time before he collapses.

As Gu Shicai entered the long exam, the chess lecturers were also relieved. They criticized Lin Shouxi all the way, but now they clicked their eyes and found that Lin Shouxi was not only not behind, but was actually ahead!
This... what's going on here?Didn't he lose money everywhere, how could he win if he loses?
Everyone was dumbfounded, as if they saw the magic, they only felt that they had been in vain for decades.

The crowd also regained their composure, and after being shocked, they ridiculed these few chess masters, saying: "How can you mediocre people understand the best chess in the world?"

Those who talked about chess were blushing, hoping that Gu Shicai would not make some magical move and turn defeat into victory, but the more they counted, the more desperate they felt. Although Gu Shicai's chess was smart and beautiful, the more they played, the more they felt like they had hit a copper wall and an iron wall , can't be used at all.

Half an hour later, the chess game really entered the final stage.

However, Gu Shicai seemed to have lost his soul, he hadn't settled down for a long time, and there was only sadness in his heart.

"Even this can't beat you..." He trembled.

"You are already very strong." Lin Shouxi comforted.

Gu Shicai didn't speak, his expression was in a trance, and the hand holding the chess was trembling.

"Finish it." Lin Shouxi said.

"There's no need to bet, I've done the calculations, and I have no chance of winning." Gu Shicai shook his head, ready to give up and admit defeat.

Lin Shouxi stared at the chessboard seriously for a while, but said firmly, "There is still a chance."

"Is there a chance..." Gu Shicai chuckled, and said, "Since you have already won a big victory, why would you lie to me for fun?"

The fiery light in Gu Shicai's eyes had disappeared, and he looked at this game of chess as if he had seen his own life.

Just when Gu Shi was about to leave, a slender and graceful hand suddenly fell into the chess basket next to the chessboard, picked up a sunspot, and landed lightly on the chessboard.

Gu Shicai was stunned.

He stared at this sunspot, and suddenly felt a resurgence.

He originally thought that this was an unreasonable move, but after he thought about it seriously, the more he thought about it, the better it became. It was like seeing the flowers blooming and the willows darkening after the end of the mountain, which made people tremble with excitement.

Why didn't I think of this move?
who is it?Who played chess?
Gu Shicai raised his head in shock, and saw the girl's delicate face.

The girl was wearing Buddhist robes with a cold face. She reached into the chessboard again, picked up a piece, and said to Gu Shi, "You can't beat him... It's time to finish, let me do it."
