Fortune Teller

"We are destined to meet each other. Your Excellency has come from afar, so why not drink a glass of wine?" The young man smiled and shouted, "Yue Xin, heat up a pot of wine. My husband wants to entertain guests from afar."

The woman took the child to the side of the palace, and when she came back a while later, she already had a jug of water and wine in her hand.

"Please sit down!"

The young man waved his hand, and a stone table appeared in the hall. Twenty-nine longitude and latitude lines were engraved on the tabletop. The marks left by the chess pieces falling on the table could be vaguely seen. There were chess pots on both sides.

The wine pot was tilted slightly, and the colorless wine fell into the porcelain cup, making a clanking sound.

"I cherish my life and have met my seniors."

Gu Xiuyun bowed and sat opposite the young man.

The black-robed young man in front of him didn't have any spiritual power fluctuations around him, but he was able to cover his entire mind into an illusion, which showed that his strength was extraordinary, and he was at least a true master.

"My dear friend, can you play chess?" the young man in black robe asked with a smile.

"I occasionally read a few chess books."

There are a lot of miscellaneous stories in Zuo Daoxing, and there are also many records of chess records. In the past, when Gu Xiuyun had been practicing for a long time and felt depressed, he would read such books to relieve his mood.

"That's good, come with me for the next game."

The young man grabbed a white piece and dropped it gently.

Gu Xiuyun held the sunspot in his hand and settled down.

Not long after, the tabletop became black and white, covered with chess pieces, and the wine in the wine bottle was empty.

"My dear friend, you are good at chess. In this game, if we just go by the chessboard, you and I should be considered a draw."

The young man smiled and passed his palm across the stone table.

In an instant, the appearance of the palace changed drastically. The two of them seemed to have arrived in the endless void. The stone tables were endless and laid out. There were countless vertical and horizontal lines with no end in sight, but this was just the beginning. The vertical and horizontal lines were superimposed layer by layer to form a three-dimensional form. It even changes over time.

The chessboard in front of you has four dimensions.

One vertical, one horizontal, one vertical, and there is also the dimension of time hidden in it.

"An old ghost once said that chess is like life. As fate changes, so does the chessboard." The young man's eyes were as dark as water. "Any living being has an infinite future, so its destiny is endless, such as this chess piece."

The void trembles slightly.

A chess piece at the bottom flew into the sky, and vaguely, you could see a figure deep inside the chess piece. It was supposed to be a mortal, but it was noticed by the venerable and took him under his sect.

"Life is like chess..."

Gu Xiuyun's eyes were dull, looking at the vast chessboard in front of him, he was inexplicably shocked.

Endless vertical and horizontal lines span hundreds of millions of years. From ancient times to the present, the chessboard is changing every moment. The chess pieces are high and low, as if they represent every living thing.

Mortals stand at the bottom, struggling for food and clothing.

Practitioners stand on high places, study Taoism and secrets every day, search for elixirs and rare treasures, and strive to pursue immortality.

The venerables are aloof and seem to have mastered a large number of chess pieces, but in fact they are still sinking into it and have never escaped from their fate. The great road is like a chess game, trapping all living beings.

Looking at this scene, Gu Xiuyun's heart trembled.

Countless chess pieces rise and fall along the vertical and horizontal lines, and invisible and immaterial rules are contained in them. There is just a chess game in front of you, but it explains all the avenues of the world.

The five elements, wind and thunder, time and space are the chessboard, and the living beings are the chess pieces. The entire chess game is the complete embodiment of the road of destiny.

He even had a feeling that if he could fully understand the chess game in front of him, he could transcend it.

All the venerables and true venerables are just chess pieces!

But what he saw at this moment was a real chess game between heaven and earth.

The void fluctuated endlessly, and the young man in black robe had left at some point. Only Gu Xiuyun was left in front of the huge void chessboard.

time flies.

No one can tell how long has passed.

The cyan figure stood in front of the void chessboard, staring for a long time, trying to integrate all the changes into his mind, but he was unable to carry the huge power. In front of the void chessboard, the true artistic conception seemed extremely weak.

"This is the avenue, the true avenue of destiny."

"As long as I understand the entire chess game, I can master the path of destiny. But there are too many chess pieces and the chessboard is too complicated. How should I understand it?"

Gu Xiuyun frowned and thought deeply.

After a long time, his eyes fell on one of the chess pieces.

The chess pieces were filled with blood, and the pure white jade color was also dyed red, and even faintly blackened. However, no matter how many disasters it experienced, the chess pieces always moved towards heights without giving up at all.

Gu Xiuyun immersed his mind into the depths of the chess pieces. The moment the two merged, he saw a long and endless line of destiny, stretching out from his body to the distant past.

Deep in the line of fate, reincarnation comes from life to life.

Each life is in the land of China. It can be as short as ten years or as long as twenty or thirty years, before it is completely destroyed and re-enters reincarnation.

"That chess piece turned out to be myself."

Gu Xiuyun was shocked.

This was the first time he saw his past.

Life after life, they are all members of the Destiny clan. No wonder there is only one person in each generation of the Destiny clan, because from the beginning to the end, the same person is reincarnated.

Countless years and countless reincarnations, the shackles of fate have always bound him.

"Why is this happening?"

Gu Xiuyun tried his best to look into the distance, looking for the source of the shackles of fate.

Finally, he saw it!

At the top of the vast void, a woman in palace attire holds a long sword with her back to all living beings. The sky is covered with calamity clouds, which is far more terrifying than Feng Lei Yuan.

That is the second disaster of the three disasters and nine disasters - the karma of cause and effect.

After surviving this calamity, one can become a world lord, truly free from the world, and live forever.

Below the calamity cloud, a woman in palace clothes walked in the air, the sword in her hand filled with wind and thunder waves, and a jade plate half a foot square hanging at her feet.

After a long time, the calamity cloud finally took shape, and the endless frenzy fell, completely engulfing the land billions of miles away...

"Is this my predecessor? A woman who seems to be the real one?"

Gu Xiuyun looked confused.

For hundreds of millions of years, countless True Lords have failed to overcome tribulations and reincarnated. The rules of heaven and earth have never targeted anyone, and there is no True Lord like him who can possess the divine power of destiny in every life.

What on earth did his predecessor...do!

Gu Xiuyun tried to observe the more distant past, but suddenly his mind trembled, and his whole body dried up at an alarming speed.

Before he knew it, his energy was exhausted.

The cyan figure disappeared, and the void chessboard was also annihilated.

…

Within the Tianzhen Sect.

The cyan figure opened his eyes and looked around, his excitement gradually calming down.

"It turns out that my predecessor was a True Master. I don't know what she did to make the rules of heaven and earth so jealous?"

Gu Xiuyun shook his head slightly.

Suddenly, his expression suddenly changed.

The weeds around him were exactly the same as before he fell into coma, without any change, as if only a moment had passed.

Gu Xiuyun quickly pinched his fingertips to calculate the time of unconsciousness.

"It really only took a moment, but I clearly remember drinking and playing chess with that mysterious man of unknown origin, and then understanding the void chessboard. It was at least three or four months ago!"

Three or four months passed in the blink of an eye, and even a glimmer of time in Bai Kongze couldn't do it.

As his thoughts flashed, the memory in his mind gradually faded, and even the appearance of the young man in black robe could not be clearly seen.

Only the empty chessboard envelopes my heart. The abyss is unpredictable, but it is always revealed.
