Taoist world

In the Immortal Realm, the leader of the Hongmeng League was in that pavilion, looking at the chessboard in front of him, frowning.

However, there are only nine chess pieces in total on the chessboard.

Among them, there are five white chess pieces and four black chess pieces.

Although the number of black pieces is smaller, the four black pieces surround the five white pieces.

In his hand, there were two chess pieces.

One black and one white.

He seemed to be thinking about where to place the two chess pieces.

At this moment, a burst of laughter suddenly sounded in his ears: "Haha, I've heard for a long time that fellow Taoists have wonderful plans and know everything, but now facing a game of incomplete chess, why are they a little hesitant!"

The leader of Hongmeng did not feel the slightest surprise at the sudden sound. He did not even raise his head. He still stared at the chessboard and said calmly: "Do you know chess, too, fellow Taoist?"

As he finished speaking, a figure appeared out of thin air on the empty stone chair opposite him.

This man looks middle-aged, has a bronze complexion, and the smile on his face gives people a simple and honest feeling.

The middle-aged man waved his hands with a smile and said: "A rough guy like me can't compare with fellow Taoists. How can I have the leisure and leisure to think about such elegant things?"

"Do not know do not know!"

The man only glanced at the chessboard, and sure enough, he stopped looking at it and turned his gaze to the Hongmeng leader.

At first glance, he immediately suppressed the smile on his face and said with a look of surprise: "I haven't seen you for a few days. How come my fellow Taoist is so much older now, and his temples are already turning white."

"Fellow Taoist, please listen to my advice. Playing chess is okay for fun and entertainment occasionally, but it's not worth it if you play with your life."

The Hongmeng leader suddenly stretched out his hand, and instead of dropping the black stone in his hand, he took away a white stone on the chessboard.

The middle-aged man asked in confusion: "Fellow Taoist, can you tell me what kind of chess are you playing?"

"Now that the white man has the advantage and the black man has the disadvantage, why is it that now, the white man has lost a son?"

The leader of Hongmeng shook his head and said: "This piece is useless. Although it is still in the chess game, it has no effect. On the contrary, it will affect my judgment of the chess game, so it is natural to take it away."

After listening to these words, the middle-aged man's face showed a thoughtful look, and then he looked at the palm of the Hongmeng leader and said: "Then why don't you dare to let go of the two black and white sons you hold in your hand?"

The leader of Hongmeng looked at the chess pieces in his hand and said solemnly: "It's not that these two chess pieces don't dare to fall, but that they cannot fall."

"Because, I am not completely sure whether they have entered the chess game."

"Since we are not sure, if we blindly drop it, it may mess up the entire chess game!"

The middle-aged man raised his eyebrows and said, "This is really new."

"As a chess player, you don't know whether a certain chess piece has entered the chess game?"

The Hongmeng leader finally slowly raised his head, looked at the middle-aged man in front of him, and said calmly: "I am not the only one who plays chess."

"Fellow Taoist, you are also a chess player."

"This game of chess should be played by you and me together!"

"Hahaha!" The middle-aged man looked up to the sky and laughed again and said, "Yes, yes, fellow Taoist, I almost forgot that I also participated in this game."

"Since you and I are playing chess together, my fellow Taoist will no longer need to be indecisive and frowning."

"You and I join forces. Except for those who have disappeared, no one in this world can be our opponent."

The leader of Hongmeng shook his head and said: "It is good for fellow Taoists to be confident, but the reality may not be what fellow Taoists think."

"Now, we may even lose this game."

"Oh?" A look of interest appeared on the middle-aged man's face, and he pointed at the chessboard and said, "Put other things aside, I really don't believe that we will lose this game of chess."

"Let's do this. I'll study this chess game and see how to win."

"By the way, fellow Taoist, please give me some advice. Are we holding on to the black pieces or the white pieces?"

The leader of Hongmeng did not laugh at the opponent because he didn't even know that he was holding a black piece and a white piece. He calmly turned his eyes to the chessboard and said: "White piece!"

Because the leader of Hongmeng just took away a white stone, now, the number of white stones and the number of black stones on the chessboard are equal.

The middle-aged man grinned and said, "Even if it's four versus four, we'll definitely win!"

The leader of Hongmeng suddenly smiled slightly and said: "Whether I can win or not, it doesn't count now. It depends on fellow Taoists."

"What do you say?" The middle-aged man extended his hand towards the chessboard with great interest, pretending to pick up a chess piece and said, "Fellow Taoist, do you want me to take the next step?"

"Yes!" The leader of Hongmeng nodded and said, "I only have one son left."

"The other three are all held by fellow Taoists!"

"As long as fellow Taoist don't touch my piece, you can do whatever you want with the other white pieces!"

The words of the leader of Hongmeng made the middle-aged man's extended palm freeze in the air.

After a moment, he slowly raised his head, looked at the Hongmeng leader and said, "You're kidding, fellow Taoist, I don't have so many chess pieces."

The leader of Hongmeng pointed at the white hair on his temples and said: "I played chess with my life. If my fellow Taoist doesn't even know how many chess pieces there are, wouldn't my life be too worthless?"

Having said this, the Hongmeng leader suddenly laughed at himself again, shook his head and said: "You're bragging, you're bragging."

"My life is indeed worthless. In fact, I still can't determine how many chess pieces my fellow Taoist has."

"So, this chess piece should be handed over to fellow Taoist, and it is up to you to decide whether to drop it or not."

As he spoke, the leader of Hongmeng gently placed the white stone he was holding in his hand in front of the middle-aged man.

The middle-aged man didn't even look at the white stone. His hand fixed in the air pointed at the four black stones on the chessboard and said, "Fellow Taoist, can you be sure about these four stones?"

The leader of Hongmeng nodded, raised the remaining sunspot in his hand and said, "Except for this one, all other sunspots can be confirmed."

The middle-aged man narrowed his eyes slightly and pondered for a moment before continuing to speak: "Among these four sunspots, there are two, should they be counted as one?"

The leader of Hongmeng nodded first, then shook his head and said: "Yes, and no!"

The middle-aged man nodded and said: "Okay, even if it is the fourth son, but do you think it is really possible for these four black ones to fight against our four white ones?"

The Hongmeng leader reached out again, lightly tapped the entire chessboard and said, "This is Heizi's chessboard, so it's still possible!"

The middle-aged man stared at the chessboard and fell into silence. But just a moment later, his expression suddenly changed slightly. He reached out and took another white piece from the chessboard.

"This son is already dead!"

On the chessboard, there are three white stones and four black stones!

The middle-aged man said softly: "Fellow Taoist, I told you, I don't know how to play chess."

"So, just tell me, what should we do so that we can win this game?"

The leader of Hongmeng also fell into silence. It was only when the middle-aged man was about to lose his patience with waiting that he slowly said: "It seems that fellow Taoist really wants to win this game."

"However, I think fellow Taoists should take a longer-term view, instead of just focusing on the game in front of them."

The leader of Hongmeng suddenly stretched out his hand and pressed down the remaining three white stones on the chessboard with one palm.

When he raised his hand again, the three white stones were crushed to pieces by him.

Only then did the leader of Hongmeng retract his palm and said word by word: "My idea is to sink the boat, sacrifice these three pieces, and lose this game."

"However, we can use our loss in this game of chess to win a bigger game of chess!"

"Of course, the prerequisite is that we must ensure that the other party does not drop the chessboard!"

"I can't do anything about this. I wonder if my fellow Taoist can do anything about it?"
