My practice narration is weird.

Chapter 384: One Man Solves Two Problems/I Like You
It was still that dark secret room.

On the chessboard, the white pieces and the black pieces are fighting each other in a fierce battle.

The figure held a candle and kept making moves in the darkness.

At the beginning, everything was calm and relaxed, and every move was carefree and relaxed.

But as time passed, each move became more and more difficult, and he gradually became undecided.

Because in this huge chessboard, besides black and white, there is also a touch of gray.

Not controlled by others.

The figure stretched out his hand, as if to wipe the sweat off his face, then raised his head and looked towards the top of the secret room.

He pinched his fingers together and it was unknown what magical power he displayed.

The top of the secret room, which should have been dark, was now full of stars.

The reflection of the starry sky appeared at the top.

[Magic Power·Star Array]

It is said to be a magical power, but there is nothing special about it.

Those densely packed and complex star points are actually closer to some kind of strange formation.

Only this person can understand the changes on it.

"So this is the situation. Okay, I see it clearly..."

There was a hint of excitement in his voice, and he just turned around and was about to make a move.

A loud roar suddenly arose.

Then, in this secret room, some cracks began to appear between the brilliant star arrays at the top.

Click, click.

The cracks grew bigger and bigger, and the next moment, the entire secret room and the star array collapsed together.

As the rubble fell, the figure hunched over a bit, but he still did not dodge.

The sky was dark, but an illusory sun appeared in the sky, illuminating all directions.

A voice came with a smile.

"Old Taoist priest, I haven't seen you for thirty years. You are still as charming as ever, and your chess skills have improved."

Lu Qingshan stepped in the air, step by step, lightly descending.

The light shone into the originally dim secret room, and also illuminated the figure hidden in the darkness.

That is a person...

Or rather, half a person.

The two faces seemed as if they were stitched together, left and right.

On the left are the living.

The one on the right is the deceased.

One is the current Taoist leader who has been missing for a long time.

One was the Taoist leader who committed suicide in the Golden Palace thirty years ago.

Two generations of leaders.

The two people have different appearances, ages, and body shapes, so one shoulder of the figure appears to be higher than the other, and the figure cannot stand upright and is somewhat hunched.

He was wearing a tattered Taoist robe, and at this moment his eyes were looking at Lu Qingshan who was in front of him. He was silent for a moment, then smiled softly.

"It was you thirty years ago. Why is it still you now, Lu Qingshan? Are you still haunting me like this?"

Lu Qingshan didn't care about what the other party said. He just glanced around calmly, focusing slightly on the chessboard under his feet, and then looked forward again.

"Old Taoist priest, have you forgotten that it was you who called me out of the Luo River? Why are you blaming me now?"

These words made the old Taoist frown. He took a deep breath and finally asked.

"Lu Qingshan, how did you find me?"

"There were doubts thirty years ago." Lu Qingshan responded with a smile.

These words stunned the old Taoist leader, and his eyes showed extreme confusion.

Lu Qingshan explained.

"Thirty years ago, I had just stepped into that palace, but you immediately disintegrated on your own. This really surprised me."

"Rumors outside say that it was Lu who forced you to death, and the Taoist sect says that you knew the situation was hopeless and became disheartened."

"But I feel that's not right. From your experience, I don't think you care about Dayan, nor do I think that fake court can be valued by you so much."

The old Taoist sneered at this moment.

"Ridiculous, I have spent my entire life for Da Yan, even giving up cultivation, just for those tedious government affairs, Lu Qingshan, what right do you have to say that to me?"

Lu Qingshan was slightly stunned, then nodded and said without denying it.

"This is my arbitrary judgment. If I must say, it's just my intuition. After all, you are the leader of the Taoist sect. Is a court controlled by the sect really that important to you? Would it make you care? Would it make you die to prove your integrity?
Why do I have such thoughts? It's very simple, old Taoist priest, after all, in this world, no one cares about Dayan more than I do. "

As he spoke, Lu Qingshan flicked his sleeves lightly.

The surrounding scenery suddenly changed.

Dharma-like supernatural powers.

It’s not Tianlan City.

But the Great Yan Imperial City.

Just as Lu Qingshan said, his Dharma form is Da Yan.

However, in the past, there had never been such a huge energy to support him in using his Dharma image.

But what does it mean to use Da Yan as the Dharma image?
The old Taoist narrowed his eyes, looked around at everything, and sneered, which was regarded as his approval of Lu Qingshan's words.

"It's interesting. Anything else? Lu Qingshan, do you think there's something wrong with me just based on this?"

"Of course not only that." Lu Qingshan shook his head.

"Most of the Taoist seniors that Lu knows are very relaxed and carefree. Even when others are quarreling and fighting, they can remain calm and unmoved. They are too lazy to reason with others and just let things take their course."

"But you, old Taoist priest, are so devoted to maintaining a fictitious court that you even neglect your own practice. I really don't understand. In the Taoist sect, this is even a little unbelievable."

"When you saw me coming, you committed suicide. This made me guess that you were not defeated, but you were afraid that I could see something from you."

"That's why, after you died, I carefully investigated Dao Sect and did find something."

The old Taoist's eyes flickered slightly.

"What discovery?"

"Kung Fu, magical power..."

Lu Qingshan spoke.

"Taoism has a long history since ancient times. Everyone knows this. There are too many skills and magical powers in your Taoism that are puzzling."

"For example, there are no 'ghosts' in the world, but you have the law of ghosts and gods."

"The magic tools in the world have no spirituality at all, but you have the method of controlling spirits and the method of floating in the sky..."

“All of this seems incredible to me.”

"For example, I have studied the Jindan Baopu of your Taoist sect. It is divided into internal and external alchemy methods. The records are very detailed and precise. I can see it clearly. It is definitely not a fabricated method."

"This is completely different from the method used by today's practitioners to cultivate their spirits. If I must explain, I have read your ancient Taoist books and found the so-called method of Nascent Soul Transformation, which is somewhat similar to the methods used by today's practitioners."

“But these strange and bizarre methods are not practiced by anyone now.”

"Is it because all the people in the Dao Sect are useless? They all have no talent for cultivation? Of course not, it's just that no one can cultivate."

Lu Qingshan said calmly.

"These methods are no longer suitable for this world."

"This strange phenomenon was also caused by the Luo River. The origin of the Luo River seems to be even older.

Luohe happens to be located in the Great Yan Imperial City, and you happened to have stayed in the Great Yan Imperial City for many years.

So, I thought of you first.”

On the old Taoist's face, there were two expressions, half crying and half smiling.

The one crying is the current leader of the Taoist sect.

The one laughing was the former leader of the Taoist sect.

He let out a very strange laugh, and then sat cross-legged.

"That's right, Lu Qingshan. Those ancient methods are no longer usable, but there are still some techniques among them... like the magic of the gods that can still be used, as long as there is a small price to pay."

"The ancient saying often says that people have luck and destiny, but Lu Qingshan, have you ever thought about where these words came from? Just like the sayings of ghosts, how did they come down?"

"As the leader of the Dao Sect, why would I spend so much effort to become the Great Yan State Master, a thankless job? Tsk, isn't it just to verify the magical power of Qiyun?"

Lu Qingshan nodded.

"What's the result?"

"The result? The result, of course, is..."

The old Taoist sat cross-legged on the ground, scratching his cheeks with his hands, leaving red marks. Drops of blood flowed down his cheeks and fell onto the huge chessboard beneath him.

"Master Dao, I am done!"

The old Taoist smiled, then waved his hand. The entire chessboard seemed to come alive at this moment, constantly extending and expanding.

Both of them are now in the Dharma image of "Dayan Imperial City".

The chessboard expanded, covering the entire imperial city.

Lu Qingshan's Dharma image also continued to expand.

Every blade of grass and every tree, as well as every scene in Dayan, were reproduced one by one in this illusory Dharma image.

And the ground is the ever-expanding chessboard.

This was something that neither of them could do during their lifetime.

But now the two of them have infinite energy.

Lu Qingshan frowned slightly, and then his mind moved. The Dharma image that was originally expanding rapidly shrank at this moment, and the chessboard was crushed bit by bit under this extremely fast contraction.

But the old Taoist just laughed strangely, then clapped his hands to the ground.

"Let's play chess."

"Are you joking, old Taoist priest? It would be easy for me to kill you now."

"Lu Qingshan, this is not up to you, Yiwu!"

The chessboard suddenly changed, and at this moment it was able to forcibly hold up the shrinking Dharma image.

A weak and old voice was heard.

"Lu Qingshan, open your eyes and look at this chess game. Even if you destroy me now, it will be useless."

Lu Qingshan looked down.

The scenery changes and the surroundings keep rotating.

At this moment, Lu Qingshan only felt that he was no longer in Da Yan, but on a chessboard.

No.

He is not on the chessboard, but he himself is just a chess piece.

A bewitching voice came.

"Lu Qingshan, although you are dead now, don't you want to be truly resurrected? Don't you want to truly live?"

"Look back. Is that woman someone you care about? I know she is out of my control, but I don't have the heart to care about a useless abandoned person."

"As long as you stay here quietly, I can tell you clearly that both you and her can survive."

"But if you insist on being wrong, what can you do even if you destroy me? The game is already a foregone conclusion. I am only one side of the game. The other player is far beyond your imagination."

Lu Qingshan seemed to be slightly moved, and said with an interested look.

"How is this done? Is it really so mysterious?"

"This is the Luo River. The water of the Luo River has been flowing for thousands of years, which is beyond our comprehension. But as long as the Luo River regains a little vitality, the whole of Da Yan will be very different."

The old Taoist looked solemn at this moment, his voice was extremely serious, and even a little excited.

"There is a saying about a blessed land in the ancient books. After that, this borderland of Da Yan, which is ignored by the world, is a blessed land, better than any other land in the world."

"What do you think? What are you... motherfucker doing?"

Lu Qingshan is playing chess.

He made his move casually.

He looked thoughtful, as if he was really studying the chess game.

The two men seem to be equally strong, and the chess game is the old Taoist's Dharma image. Breaking the chess game is undoubtedly equivalent to breaking the opponent's Dharma image.

The old Taoist looked puzzled.

At this point, do you still want to be your enemy?

But how can I lose when playing chess?
【Supernatural Powers and Skills】

The old Taoist looked gloomy and threw a piece according to the instructions.

At only thirty-two years old, Lu Qingshan was already showing signs of decline.

A double-attack trend has formed on the chessboard.

It represents two crises.

Humans and monsters.

Qingqiu and Dayan?

"This is the final outcome, Lu Qingshan." The old Taoist's voice was extremely cold.

At the moment, Lu Qingshan does not have Tian Yan.

But he has unique skills.

The 42nd move.

Lu Qingshan raised his head.

There was a hint of a smile on his face, but it seemed a little helpless.

He met the old man's gaze, stretched out his hand, and pointed to a corner of the chessboard under his feet.

"The 43rd move is here."

He did not make another move, but instead walked up with light steps.

Lu Qingshan is not a chess player, he is just a chess piece.

The old Taoist narrowed his eyes, kept calculating, and finally was stunned.

But he immediately figured something out and chuckled.

"This is a good move. One move can solve two problems. But so what? Lu Qingshan, this is just a game of chess in the Dharma."

"You have lost Tian Yan, but I now have Jue Yi Tui Yan. Come on, continue playing. You will still lose in the end."

Play chess.

Lu Qingshan shook his head.

Then he stepped down heavily.

No more downloading.

Lu Qingshan directly overturned the chessboard.

The Dharma collapsed.

Then, facing the puzzled and bewildered gaze of the old Taoist, Lu Qingshan took light steps and then placed his big hand on the old man's head.

"You, why?"

"I said before, killing you is easy." Lu Qingshan said calmly.

"But, but, you couldn't get rid of my chess game before. If you could do that, why did you still deal with me..." There was shock in the old Taoist's words.

Lu Qingshan explained with a smile.

"As you said, I don't have Tian Yan now, so I have to borrow your unique skills to deduce some things. This game of chess just happened to make me see things clearly."

The old man was stunned at first, but as he felt the increasingly powerful aura from Lu Qingshan, a hint of fear and madness finally emerged in his eyes.

"This is impossible! Your realm..."

"You forgot that my realm was given by you." Lu Qingshan's voice was even a little gentle.

The gentleness was piercing, and he changed the subject with a smile.

"You gave too much."

With a slight force on his palm, the old man's body began to crumble at this moment.

One side was turned into powder, the other side turned into flowing blood.

Amidst the blood foam and powder came crazy voices.

“Lu Qingshan, you are crazy, you will regret it… You have ruined me, and you can’t change anything…”

"Oh, didn't I break your chess game?" Lu Qingshan responded with a smile.

"It's just a game of chess. Even if you can solve two problems with one move, what can you do?
If you destroy me, you will also disappear, so how can you make a move? "

Just as the old Taoist said, Lu Qingshan's body gradually began to turn into powder bit by bit.

Is it……

One piece solves two problems.

Lu Qingshan responded indifferently, not caring whether the other party could hear him or not.

"You are wrong. This one is not me."

Lu Qingshan ignored the other party and just turned around and walked forward.

The body began to disintegrate.

But his eyes remained calm.

His Dharma form is Great Flame.

The moment the chess game collapsed, he was in his own Dharma image.

Above the sky, an illusory sun gradually solidified.

The dazzling light illuminates the Great Yan Imperial City.

He stood on the steps in front of the temple, looking at the scenery that was as familiar as ever.

Just like the last night of life.

The scenery is still as gentle as it was in the past.

But there is no more bloody smell, no more complicated emotions, no more worries, only indifference.

This is the great flame in Lu Qingshan’s heart.

There was a figure on the steps in front of me.

The woman in iron armor didn't say anything. She just stood on the steps, beside Lu Qingshan.

Lu Qingshan looked at the scorching sun in the sky, and her eyes were looking at Lu Qingshan.

The bodies of the two people continued to dissipate.

Lu Qingshan finally turned his head slightly and looked at the person in front of him.

He spoke softly.

"Sister."

"What's up?"

"I like you."
