My Years in the Folklore World

Chapter 110: Chess of Life and Death

"Playing chess?"

The Onmyoji and the Wild Swordsman looked at each other.

Some people don't understand what Jiang Xinghuo means.

Jiang Xinghuo waved the chess piece in his hand and nodded:
"That's right, let's play chess. Since you don't want to play, then let's decide the winner based on chess skills. As long as you two beat me, whatever you say goes."

As he spoke, Jiang Xinghuo walked to the big tree next to him, placed the chess piece on the big rock, and then sat cross-legged.

The Onmyoji pondered for a moment, then walked over and sat opposite. He stroked the chess piece with his fingers, but did not sense any abnormal energy on it, and he breathed a sigh of relief.

"Maybe he really is a chess lover..."

An idea flashed through Onmyoji's mind. In his country, Go and chess are very popular, and there are many people who are obsessed with them.

But they didn't know that Jiang Xinghuo had already used the Five Desires Method to secretly stir up their emotions.

No matter what you say, as long as it is not too outrageous, they will believe it and find a suitable reason for themselves.

Little did he know that he had fallen into Jiang Xinghuo's trap.

Look at the chess in front of you.

Jiang Xinghuo's mouth curled up into a smile

Life and Death Chess (rare item), forged with ingenious craftsmanship in the underworld, contains a faint law of life and death. If you use it to play against others, if you win, you can plunder ten years of the opponent's life. If you lose, you can give ten years of life to the opponent. Therefore, it is called Life and Death Chess. There is no way to cheat or regret the game. "

This is the treasure he got from under the Baishui River underground palace. As long as he wins a game, he can plunder ten years of his opponent's life.

Sometimes, killing someone doesn't require using a knife or a gun.

Jiang Xinghuo holds the black pieces, and Yin Yangji holds the red pieces.

The two began to fight on a chessboard that was less than two feet square.

Jiang Xinghuo now has the ability of photographic memory and the ability of divine movement. His brain works extremely fast. For every step that the Onmyoji takes, he can calculate his next move in his mind.

It can be said that the entire chess game was under his control, but Jiang Xinghuo did not take down the Onmyoji as easily as cutting melons and vegetables.

Instead, it was like a frog in boiling water, and even fell into a disadvantage at one point, but finally cleverly turned the game around.

In the end, Jiang Xinghuo won the first victory by using the transformation of the earthworm subduing the dragon.

"I lost……"

The Yin Yang Master looked at the chessboard and shook his head, saying, "But you only won by a narrow margin. If I hadn't made that wrong move, I would have won."

As he spoke, Jiang Xinghuo noticed that there were a few more wrinkles at the corners of his eyes, as if he had suddenly aged ten years.

But he himself didn't seem to notice it at all.

Jiang Xinghuo was also secretly shocked. This chess game of life and death was indeed very strange. It took away ten years of the opponent's life out of thin air without anyone noticing at all.

As for where the stolen lifespan went, Jiang Xinghuo didn't know. He only knew that a very small part of it went to himself.

Perhaps those years were taken away by the inventor of the chess of life and death.

"Another game!"

The Onmyoji, unwilling to believe in evil, rearranged the chess pieces, wanting to compete with Jiang Xinghuo again, his eyes filled with the desire to win.

The Wild Swordsman at the side also said, "We will definitely not lose this time."

Jiang Xinghuo thought that the game of life and death chess was weird, and the Five Desires were no less evil, which directly aroused the desire to win and the thoughts of greed and anger in both of them.

The two continued to fight on the chessboard.

as predicted.

In the end, the second game ended with Onmyoji's defeat, still just one move away, and he ended up losing the whole game.

The Yin Yang Master's face had aged a bit, and there were a few strands of white hair on his temples, but neither he nor the Wild Swordsman noticed. "Let me play this round!"

The wild swordsman could not hold back any longer, so he pushed the Onmyoji's shoulder and sat opposite Jiang Xinghuo.

The two took turns, and more than ten rounds passed quickly.

At this time, it was already completely dark.

The Milky Way in the sky shines brightly, and tens of millions of meteors fly out of the Milky Way and fall towards various parts of the Earth.

Soon.

There were continuous loud noises coming from Qingxiu Mountain, and the Onmyoji and the wild swordsman finally woke up from their dreams.

But when they came to their senses, it was too late. The two had already become gray-haired and trembling, and their lives had come to the end.

"What's going on here? (Japanese)"

"How did we become like this! (Japanese)"

The two looked at each other, then suddenly turned their gaze to the chessboard, and stared at Jiang Xinghuo.

"It's your fault!"

The wild swordsman drew the katana from his ribs and wanted to kill Jiang Xinghuo, but his sword energy was too powerful, and his weak body was unable to control this power at all.

Countless streams of blood gushed out of his body, and his entire body was covered with cracks, like fragile porcelain.

There was no sound anymore.

The shadow of a katana flew out from the Wild Swordsman's body. It was the Wild Swordsman's inherited relic. Jiang Xinghuo, who had been prepared for it, reached out to grab it, but he caught nothing and it was directly taken back by the game.

"pity……"

Jiang Xinghuo secretly said what a pity, and looked at the Onmyoji next to him. Now with only his last breath left, he picked up the katana beside the wild swordsman's body and slashed at the chessboard.

As long as we destroy this strange chess set, maybe everything can turn around!
With this mentality.

Onmyoji made the final blow!
clang!
But Jiang Xinghuo would never let him get his wish. The Qiankun Stick just happened to block the blade of his sword. Then he swung it lightly, and the Yin-Yang Master's body flew backwards, following in the footsteps of the wild swordsman.

A Shikigami token slowly floated out of the body.

Jiang Xinghuo tried to catch it again, but failed again. The Shikigami Order and the Shikigami inside it were all recovered by the game.

Fortunately, the two people’s storage bags were not recycled. Jiang Xinghuo opened them and took a look, and thought that there were indeed some good things.

But I have no use for it at all, so I can only put it away for the time being.

At the same time as the Onmyoji's life came to an end, Rashomon began to shake violently, and the stripped-off space merged back with reality.

The scene around returned to normal.

Jiang Xinghuo waved his hand to put away the chess piece of life and death, and picked up the Rashomon door. At the same time, Lin Tianshou also brought his men over.

"Team Leader Lin, we meet again."

Jiang Xinghuo greeted with a smile.

Lin Tianshou sighed and said, "It's really not a good thing to meet here."

"Hey, a gift for you."

Jiang Xinghuo pursed his lips and said, "These two people are from the island country. They said they had a personal grudge against you and wanted me to deal with them when I met them. I don't know what kind of evil skills they used to turn into such a ghost. I was almost beaten to death by them."

Lin Tianshou looked at the two bodies, then at Jiang Xinghuo's clean and tidy clothes, and couldn't help being speechless.

If I really believed your lies, I would no longer be a team leader!
