Pagoda Immortality

"We Tianji people believe in fate the most."

"If I am destined to be imprisoned in the realm of the Mysterious Immortal, I may not be able to escape even if I go to the third heaven."

"But if fate dictates that I will not be trapped in the Mysterious Immortal Realm, then I will definitely be able to complete the mission before my life span is exhausted. Naturally, the Golden Immortal Realm will not be too far away."

He Yongnian was in an open-minded mood at this time. He firmly believed that it was fate that allowed him to complete his mission, and his future cultivation path would definitely be smooth, at least he would not be imprisoned by a mere fairy.

Lu Li didn't really agree with He Yongnian's remarks. In his opinion, it was better to carve out a future for himself than to believe in the illusory fate.

Of course, he would not refute He Yongnian.

Because this is He Yongnian's way, which may seem ridiculous to outsiders like him, but for people like He Yongnian, it is a guiding light.

After chatting for a while, He Yongnian and Wen Ting said goodbye and left.

Chan Bao had already disappeared.

When Lu Li walked out of the yard, he found Chan Bao fishing by the stream, so he called him over, gave him serious instructions, and then returned to the east room to start practicing in seclusion.

Come to the Temple of Time.

Lu Li was not in a hurry to understand. Instead, he sat down cross-legged and ran the 'Bingxin Concentration Technique' once to completely calm down his mind. Then he took out the Kongming Xuanjing and placed it in front of him, closing his eyes and comprehending it carefully.

Although Space Rules is the lowest among the ten ancestral ways, its cultivation difficulty is not low at all. Unless you are extremely lucky and suddenly have an epiphany, it is very difficult to achieve a breakthrough through normal cultivation. sky.

Fortunately, Lu Li was lucky. Not only did he have the Time Palace, but he also had Taoist treasures such as the Kongming Xuanjing to assist him. As a result, the progress was beyond the reach of ordinary people.

But on the seventh day of Lu Li's retreat, he was interrupted. Chan Bao told him that Yuwen Wen was here.

Lu Li had no choice but to stop temporarily and come out to meet Yuwen Wen. Yuwen Wenshu came to tell him about the sect's situation and future plans. After hearing this, Lu Li didn't have any objections. He simply said that he would just let Yuwen Wenshen make the full decision. At the same time, he told Yuwen Wenshu that after the sect stabilized, he would find a reliable person to help investigate. Here’s the news about Moon God Palace and Weiyue.

Only then did Yu Wenshu realize that Lu Li was practicing in seclusion, and he couldn't help but feel apologetic, and asked Lu Li if he wanted to arrange two more attendants for him, so that he could communicate with other people in the sect more easily.

Lu Li refused this time, saying that Chan Bao was here and there was no need for attendants for the time being. If Chan Bao went into seclusion, he would consider it later. In this regard, Yu Wenwen did not insist. After the two talked for a while, Yu Wenwen left.

Lu Li returned to his room and continued practicing.

However, what makes Lu Li depressed is that after only three years of serious training this time, someone comes to see him again.

The visitor was the middle-aged Taoist named Chang Tai'an, but because guards had been posted at the entrance to the forbidden area of ​​the Tiangong Palace at this time, Chang Tai'an could only go through first.

Lu Li thought for a while and decided to meet the other party.

After Chang Tai'an was released, he entered the forbidden area of ​​the Tiangong. He quickly followed the path by the stream to the outside of the small courtyard and said loudly: "Disciple Chang Tai'an, please see our ancestor."

Lu Li sat under the peach tree. Hearing this, he shook his head and said, "No need to be so polite. Come in and talk."

Chang Tai'an walked into the courtyard and quickly came to stand next to Lu Li: "Uncle Patriarch, I would like to ask you something. Is it convenient for you?"

"It's convenient, but...are you sure you want to ask me for advice?" Lu Li said with a strange expression.

"Disciple is sure."

"Ha! You should sit down first, but my cultivation is here. If you want to ask for some cultivation knowledge, I'm afraid I can't help you." Lu Li stretched out his hand to signal Chang Taian to sit down.

What a joke, let him, a late-stage True Immortal, teach the powerful mid-stage Mysterious Immortal, but he still thinks he doesn’t have that ability.

"I don't care about cultivation, but I would like to ask our ancestor to help this disciple resolve his knot." Chang Tai'an said with hope in his eyes.

"Heart knot? Tell me." Lu Li said in surprise.

Hearing this, Chang Tai'an did not directly express his feelings. Instead, he waved his hand and took out a yellowed chess cloth, and then took out two chess sets containing black and white pieces and placed them on the table.

Then he said: "I would like to ask my ancestor to watch a game of chess for me."

Lu Li frowned: "I can't play chess."

Chang Taian was stunned for a moment, then thought for a moment: "You don't need to step down, just watch."

Lu Li nodded: "That's fine."

Chang Tai'an smiled slightly, unfolded the chess piece to himself, placed the two chess pieces on the left and right, then picked up a black piece, considered it for a moment, and finally settled on it. Then he picked up a white piece, thought for a moment, and slowly dropped it.

Lu Li really didn't understand chess, he just felt that there were more and more chess pieces on the board, but then he saw Chang Taian drop a piece, and then he took out a few of the black stones from the chessboard.

I couldn't help but be stunned for a moment: "What did you pick it out for?"

"This is called a lift. At this time, the white chess blocks the black chess's air. The black chess inside is dead and needs to be lifted away..." Chang Tai'an looked thoughtful, and another piece fell while speaking. Go down.

Lu Li was confused when he heard it, but since he had no intention of playing chess, he didn't ask any questions and just watched quietly from the side.

What made Lu Li a little depressed was that Chang Taian's descent was getting slower and slower, and sometimes he couldn't even make a move for a quarter of an hour. He couldn't help but urge: "You, can't you go faster?"

"Grandmaster, you don't know that when playing chess, you can't just focus on the present, you have to consider the long term. Now, every move is the key to victory, so you can't be careless at all. As the saying goes, one wrong move will lead to a complete loss..." Chang Taian said slowly with a frown.

Lu Li was stunned when he heard this, and felt that Chang Taian's words seemed to have a deep meaning. He thought, is this guy instructing him in a roundabout way? So, he couldn't help but stare at the chessboard intently.

But the more he looked, the more upset Lu Li felt, because this guy always looked ahead and behind, sometimes putting it down and picking it up, and then putting it down again, and so on and so forth countless times, and it was difficult to make up his mind.

Lu Li rubbed his forehead: "It's getting dark, how long are you going to play?"

Chang Taian said: "Maybe one day, maybe one year, or maybe ten years."

Lu Li was dumbfounded, and said faintly: "That... I want to go to the toilet, it shouldn't affect your chess, right?"

Chang Taian said: "Grandmaster, please go."

"Hehe, then you play slowly, I will come to see you in a few years... er, not in a few days." Lu Li smiled, put oil on his feet, and went back to the east room in a flash.

Then he lay on the bed and buried his head in practice.

Just kidding, this guy doesn't know when he can finish this game, and he doesn't know chess at all, isn't it a waste of time to sit there.

In the following days, Lu Li was relatively quiet.

Chan Bao rebuilt a small wooden house across the stream and didn't come to disturb him at all. And Chang Taian also devoted himself to his own world. With concentration, Lu Li made very smooth progress in the space.

Spring goes and autumn comes, cold comes and summer goes.

In the autumn of the fifteenth year of Lu Li's retreat, Chang Taian finally finished this long game. He looked around, then walked to Lu Li's door and gently pressed the communication mechanism.
