The Smiling, Proud Wanderer, Becomes a Disciple of Yue Buqun

Yue Buqun can play chess and he also likes playing chess, but there were very few people in the original Huashan Sect who knew how to play chess.

Ning Zhongze did know a little bit. Yue Buqun had played chess with Ning Zhongze several times before, but Ning Zhongze was impatient and a terrible chess player. She would often stare at the chessboard with a serious face in the middle of the game, so Yue Buqun didn't dare to beat her.

As for the disciples of Huashan Sect, there is no need to mention them. Later, when Jiang Ning grew up, he also learned some chess skills. In addition to practicing and reading, he would occasionally play chess with Yue Buqun in the chess pavilion.

It's just that Jiang Ning's chess skills were not very good, not as good as Yue Buqun's. In addition, Yue Buqun was a bit cunning when playing chess. Every time Jiang Ning made a move, he would fall into several ambushes and be killed. Over time, Jiang Ning was unwilling to play chess with him anymore, so this place became vacant.

Fang Zheng smiled when he heard this and said, "No need to trouble those kids, we can do it ourselves."

Seeing Fang Zheng say this, Yue Buqun had no choice but to follow the guest's wishes, and the two of them followed the path down to the chess pavilion.

The chess pavilion is suspended in the air on three sides, and there is only one road leading to it.

The road here is also a dangerous road in Huashan, called Yaozi Fanshen. It is difficult for ordinary people to climb, but in the eyes of Yue Buqun and Fang Zheng, two of the world's top masters, it is as easy as walking on flat ground.

Walking on the steep and winding road, Yue Buqun looked relaxed, as if he was strolling in a garden.

Although Fang Zheng was short in stature, he was very relaxed.

The two of them walked all the way to the chess pavilion, where they saw a chessboard placed on the chess table with two boxes of chess pieces on both sides.

At this time, the chess table and chessboard were covered with dust.

Fang Zheng came to one of the stone benches and sat down, not paying any attention to the dust on it. He looked at the dusty chessboard and waved his hand to brush away the dust. The dust on it disappeared, but the dust on the ground seemed to have become thicker.

"Master Yue, please."

Fang Zheng looked at Yue Buqun with a smile and stretched out his hand to make a gesture of invitation.

Yue Buqun chuckled, then sat down, looked at the dust on the ground around him, thought for a moment, and waved his hand. A slight internal force vibrated and swept into the pavilion. Not long after, there was no dust at all in the pavilion.

Fang Zheng's eyes flashed when he saw this.

Although Yue Buqun seemed to have just waved his hand casually just now, he saw that the dust on the ground seemed to be picked up by an invisible wind and dispersed outside the pavilion.

"Master Yue has made great progress in martial arts recently. I am ashamed to say that I am not as good as him."

Fang Zheng smiled.

Yue Buqun laughed and shook his head: "Master, why do you have to tease me? How can my humble Taoism be compared with yours?"

"Master Yue is still too modest."

Fang Zheng seemed to be just joking, and then he opened his own chess box with a look of surprise.

"Oh, it seems that I am lucky. I will make a move before Sect Leader Yue."

Fang Zheng got a chess box full of black chess pieces, while Yue Buqun got a box full of white chess pieces.

Yue Buqun smiled and signaled Fang Zheng to make his move.

Fang Zheng picked up a black chess piece and looked at the chessboard, his eyes seeming to be thinking about what to do next.

After a while, Fang Zheng made his move and said, "I wonder what Sect Leader Yue thinks about the Five Mountains Alliance Leaders Conference next June?"

Yue Buqun, who was about to make a move, paused after hearing Fang Zheng's words, and then made his move.

"Does Yue have any idea?"

Yue Buqun asked with a smile.

At this time, Fang Zheng picked up another chess piece and looked at the chessboard with a pensive look, as if he was thinking about the game.

"Alliance Leader Zuo will not give up if he fails to merge the two factions this time. I'm afraid he will cause trouble again at the next Alliance Leaders Conference. Isn't Sect Leader Yue worried?"

Although Zuo Lengchan said yesterday that he was not interested in being the leader, everyone treated his words as nonsense.

Fang Zheng knows Zuo Lengchan well. He will not passively respond and will definitely take the initiative. He just doesn't know what Zuo Lengchan's next move will be. At least he can be sure that next year's alliance leader conference will be very exciting.

Upon hearing this, Yue Buqun smiled, said nothing, and picked up the white chess piece and placed it.

Seeing his expression, Fang Zheng said, "I think Sect Leader Yue can strive for the position of the leader of the Five Mountains."

"Oh?"

Yue Buqun raised his eyebrows and asked with a smile: "Why do you think so, Master Abbot?"

Fang Zheng spoke as if it were just a casual conversation between good friends, "Compared to Alliance Leader Zuo, Sect Leader Yue is kind-hearted and will not make any move to annex the other three sects. This is a good thing for the three sects of Mount Tai and Mount Heng."

At this point, Fang Zheng sighed, "In fact, what I, Shaolin, hope most is that all martial arts sects can live in harmony and reduce disputes and fighting. However, Alliance Leader Zuo wants to develop the Songshan Sect, so he wants to attack your sect and the other three sects. I see it, but I can't stop it."

"Now that we have the opportunity to re-elect the leader, I believe that Sect Leader Yue's martial arts skills are no less than those of Leader Zuo. We should strive to win the position of leader at the Five Mountains Leader Conference next year. This will not only stop Leader Zuo's intention to annex us, but also return the position of leader of the Five Mountains to Huashan Sect. Isn't that killing two birds with one stone?"

What Fang Zheng said had almost the same meaning as what Tianmen Taoist said, except that Tianmen Taoist sincerely hoped that Yue Buqun would defeat Zuo Lengchan and become the leader of the Five Mountains, while it was hard to say how much sincerity and how much falsehood there were in what Fang Zheng said.

Upon hearing this, Yue Buqun lowered his eyes, looked at the chessboard and thought about the situation, then made his move after a moment.

"The Huashan Sect is now small and cannot withstand any turmoil. Yue only hopes to pass on the Huashan Sect. As for the position of leader, Yue lacks the talent and virtue, so let Brother Tianmen compete with Leader Zuo."

Fang Zheng looked at the chessboard with a frown on his face, as if he was annoyed that the game was not in his favor. Then he began to play chess seriously.

After a while.

Fang Zheng let go of the chess piece, looked up at Yue Buqun, and a smile appeared on his face.

"Master Yue, I'm grateful for your kindness."

At this point, the board is full of black pieces.

……

"Amitabha, Young Master Jiang, what a coincidence."

At this time, Jiang Ning was taking a walk and saw an old monk walking towards him.

"I am Fangsheng, nice to meet you, Young Master Jiang."

Jiang Ning was also a little surprised. He just went out for a walk and met Fang Sheng, but he still bowed and said, "Junior Jiang Ning greets the master."

"hehe."

Fang Sheng smiled kindly and said to Jiang Ning, "Since I have met Young Master Jiang, it is fate. How about taking a walk with me? I have just arrived at Huashan and I don't know where the scenery is better. I would like to ask Young Master Jiang to take me to appreciate the scenery of Huashan."

Jiang Ning narrowed his eyes slightly, then smiled and said, "Master, please."

Chapter 253: Zhenwu Emperor

Chapter 253: Zhenwu Emperor

There is no such thing as a chance encounter without reason in the world. If there is, it must be carefully planned.

Jiang Ning didn't know what Fang Sheng was going to do when he found him, but he planned to act accordingly and see what he would say.

"The master also came here when he climbed Mount Hua, and he must know that this section of the road is called Laojun Ligou."

"It is said that a long time ago, the Jade Emperor passed by Huashan and saw that there was no road here, so he used his mount, the green ox, to pull out a ditch here, so there was this road for people to go up and down the mountain."

Along the way, Jiang Ning led Fang Sheng to visit the special attractions of Huashan, and explained the stories about these scenery, like a tour guide.

Fang Sheng nodded with a smile all the way, and except for occasionally asking some questions about these attractions, he didn't say anything else.

Jiang Ning smiled and said, "In fact, this place was originally called Laojun Ligu, which is the place where Laojun left the mortal world. However, because the terrain resembles Pear Valley, and there is a legend about Yuntai Peak being the place where Laojun hung a pear, people in later generations also called this place Laojun Ligou."

Fang Sheng looked around the place from top to bottom, and nodded from time to time after hearing Jiang Ning's words, saying, "I see. When I passed by here yesterday, I just thought it was steep and winding, and I never thought there would be such an allusion."

Jiang Ning just smiled. After passing here, Jiang Ning took Fang Sheng to visit other places.

"Master, please look there."

At this time Jiang Ning and Fang Sheng came to another place, and Jiang Ning pointed in a direction.

Upon hearing this, Fang Sheng looked in the direction he was looking in. He saw a strange stone in that direction and immediately became curious.

"Oh? This stone looks a bit like a frog."

A strange idea came to mind.

The huge rock he was looking at at this moment really looked like a frog sitting on the ground.

"Master is right."

Jiang Ning smiled and nodded, saying: "This stone is called Frog Stone because it looks like a frog."

Fang Sheng laughed when he heard this: "Could this stone have some story behind it?"

"good."

Jiang Ning nodded, then looked at the stone and said slowly, "Legend has it that a frog became a spirit and came all the way to Huashan Mountain, where it settled. Later, it transformed into a human form and saw the gods being worshipped by the people in Huayang Palace. It became envious and wanted to be worshipped by the people too. Later, it heard that a new temple was built on Yuntai Peak, so it wanted to become the god of the new temple."

"But in fact, this temple was built for the Great Emperor Zhenwu."

Listening to Jiang Ning recounting the stories and legends here, Fang Sheng also became curious and asked, "What happened next?"

Jiang Ning continued, "Later, the two generals under the command of the Great Emperor Zhenwu, the Turtle and the Snake, saw through the frog spirit's intentions while on patrol, and restored it to its original form, turning it into a stone frog and permanently fixing it here."

After saying that, Jiang Ning turned to look at Fang Sheng and said with a smile: "But this is just a legend. As for whether it is true or not, Master, just listen to it and treat it as a myth."

"I see."

Fang Sheng nodded, then looked at Jiang Ning and said with a smile: "I didn't expect that a stone frog would have such a legend. Donor Jiang is really knowledgeable and talented. I admire him."

Jiang Ning laughed and said, "I just grew up in Huashan and am familiar with these places. Besides, this knowledge is just some miscellaneous knowledge, not erudite."

Fang Sheng just smiled, then looked at the stone frog again, his eyes seemed to be in a trance, and after a moment he murmured: "I wonder if there is really a fairyland in the world, and whether there is really a way to become an immortal forever?"

Ordinary people worship gods and believe in Buddhism simply to ask the gods to bless them, but monks, Taoists and other religious people hope that they can also ascend to heaven and be reborn in paradise. It's just that although there have been countless legends about immortals over the past thousands of years, no one has actually seen one, nor has anyone heard of anyone who has truly ascended to heaven. Even whether Zhang Sanfeng, the founder of Wudang, ascended to heaven a hundred years ago is still shrouded in mystery.

Although Fang Sheng shaved his head to become a monk and had no white hair on his head, his face was covered with white beard and wrinkles. He was no longer young and was getting closer to death.

Although monks should see through life and death, Fang Sheng doesn't seem to let go.

"Throughout the ages, countless kings, princes, and generals have pursued immortality, but who in the world has really seen a god? And who has truly achieved immortality?"

Hearing Fang Sheng's mumbling, Jiang Ning smiled and said, "Eternal life is too elusive for people like us. Life is only a few decades long. Instead of pursuing immortality, why not think about how to make your short life wonderful and meaningful?"

"If you are not happy, immortality is useless. If you are happy, living in the morning and dying in the evening is enough."

Although Jiang Ning himself came from another world, he didn't worry too much about whether there were gods in the world or whether there was immortality. It was not important whether there was immortality or not.

For him, life is actually meaningless, but as long as he is alive, he can always find something meaningful.

After hearing Jiang Ning's opinion, Fang Sheng turned to look at Jiang Ning and said with a smile: "Mr. Jiang is not only a martial arts master at a young age, but also knowledgeable and talented. He also has such an open-minded character. I admire him."

Jiang Ning shook his head and smiled, "I'm sorry for the shallow views of this junior. Master, please forgive me for making fun of you."
