Dimension Paradise, I am a summoning apostle

Chapter 519 Fixing the Stars to the Mysterious Sea

"That's strange, why am I always just a little short?" Chu Danqing wanted to turn the five Five Elements Domain Summoning Skills into professional skills, but he just couldn't complete them.

It's like being just one step away from the goal but unable to take it through.

According to his plan, it should have been completed by this time.

After studying and researching, he is now able to use these five skills to set up the Five Elements Elemental Spirit Array.

Putting everything else aside, I've already mastered it to perfection, but I'm stuck on the very last step.

With the blessing of Li Qingying's Wonderful Sound Celestial Maiden Martial Form, the Prajna wisdom of the Precious Pearl Arhat Relic continuously increases.

"Is it possible?" Li Qingying offered Chu Danqing some ideas from the side.

She was well-versed in various schools of thought, so naturally she was also familiar with martial arts related to the Five Elements.

Despite repeated discussions, the two still couldn't come to a conclusion.

"Let's talk about it later. We've arrived at Dingxing Mountain, let's go up the mountain," Chu Danqing said after Li Qingying finished speaking.

These things can't be rushed. He's not Xiong Zhigang. Although his aptitude has improved, he's still not as good as those outrageous humans.

"It's deserted and quiet, there's hardly anyone around." Li Qingying looked around and saw that there were no people.

They traveled for ten days by carriage to the nearest town, disposed of the carriage, and stayed at an inn for the night.

Today is the eighth day of the lunar month, which is the time for the invitation to the Lan Ke Ju game, so I walked here early this morning.

Along the way, apart from a couple of woodcutters and hunters who made their living in the mountains, they didn't see any other martial arts figures.

"Maybe they haven't come yet, it's so early in the morning," Chu Danqing said, and the three of them continued up the mountain.

The road was indeed difficult, but fortunately Chu Danqing could fly, while Da Bao carried Li Qingying uphill, making the whole process relatively easy.

As you climb up to the top of Miaohai Peak, you'll see a simply dressed old man making breakfast.

This person was none other than Mu Yehu, who was also taken aback when he saw Chu Danqing.

I didn't expect anyone to arrive so early.

"Are you two young heroes here to participate in the Rotten Chess Game?" Mu Yehu asked, snapping out of his reverie.

"Yes, I'm here on behalf of Chong Sheng Temple." Chu Danqing said, taking out an invitation and a small gift: "I'm new here and don't know the rules, so please don't find me unpleasant."

The other party refused the gift after reading the post.

"This invitation is for the endgame, so there aren't many formalities. Please take your things back." After saying this, Mu Yehu asked, "Are you two young heroes from the Nanzhao royal family?"

"No, I encountered Prince Duan being besieged by the Crown Prince of Linjiang of Donglin Kingdom on the way. I helped him out and then he dared not attend the meeting again, so he gave me the invitation and asked me to come on his behalf." Chu Danqing was telling the truth, but he was hiding some details.

Kinoko fell silent upon hearing this; so that's what it was all about.

It makes perfect sense; their whereabouts have been exposed, and if they don't leave now, they'll really die.

"This is something I failed to consider thoroughly." Mu Yehu had never expected that Chong Sheng Temple would actually send someone over.

Sending an invitation to Chong Sheng Temple was originally just a courtesy gesture.

Unexpectedly, this led to an accident.

Fortunately, no one was hurt, otherwise it would have been a big problem for Muye Fox.

"Please have a seat, both of you. The time for the Rotten Axe Game is not yet here." After saying this, Mu Yehou asked, "Have you two had breakfast?"

"I already used it when I came," Chu Danqing politely declined.

The breakfast they cooked looked pretty good, but they had already eaten it.

"Then I'll go have breakfast first." After saying that, he continued cooking on his own.

Chu Danqing observed carefully and realized that the other person seemed to have cooked a portion for two people, not just one.

"The sense of déjà vu is getting stronger and stronger," Chu Danqing suddenly muttered.

Hearing this, Li Qingying asked curiously, "What do you mean by déjà vu?"

"The Ingenious Chess Game," Chu Danqing replied.

Upon hearing this, Li Qingying was also somewhat puzzled: "Brother Chu, do you mean that there is another peerless master here who is about to die and wants to choose a successor to pass on his life's skills to him?"

Li Qingying had heard Chu Danqing tell the story of the Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils, which was indeed somewhat of a coincidence.

“I think the possibility is too small,” Li Qingying said. “It’s not even as likely as finding a divine skill by jumping off a cliff.”

"Actually, that's true. If Duan Baiyu hadn't met us, he would have jumped off the cliff and found the divine skill." Chu Danqing complained.

Li Qingying said speechlessly, "The Six Yang Melting Snow Skill of Chong Sheng Temple is no less powerful than the Heavenly Mirror Divine Skill."

"He just doesn't want to learn, not that he doesn't know how."

Chongsheng Temple and the Nanzhao royal family are one entity, forming a high-end military force within the Nanzhao Kingdom.

"Ah, that makes sense." Chu Danqing also felt that it was most likely a coincidence, since it seemed plausible but was not.

The two chatted back and forth, but Mu Yehu didn't hear them. After all, he was far away, and Chu Danqing and the other person were speaking in hushed tones.

After he finished cooking, he didn't know where one portion was sent, but he ate the other portion himself.

It can be confirmed that there are indeed two people here.

It's unclear who the other one is.

After they finished eating, Mu Yehou then entertained them.

"Young hero, the time is not yet ripe. Why don't we have a game?" With that, Mu Yehu took out a chessboard and chess pieces.

Chu Danqing felt dizzy after reading it. He knew how to play Gomoku, but he really didn't know how to play Go.

And why would there be something like Go in another world?
He had a lot of complaints in his mind, and then looked at Li Qingying, as if to say, "Can you do that?"

But then I thought again, Li Qingying's mind is full of martial arts, what kind of Go does she know?

Thinking this through, Chu Danqing made a decision. [Silent Poem: @Brutal Beast·Son of the Cave (Wu Dabao), Dabao, go over there and start a Go game, then select the highest difficulty. I'll take a screenshot, you follow the moves, and after the computer finishes, take another screenshot and send it to me.]

Da Bao checked the team channel, then quietly found a spot, took out his tablet, and started playing Go.

Chu Danqing's intention is to let people in ancient times know why Alfa has the word "dog" in its name.

"Brother Chu, don't you know how?" Li Qingying understood what Chu Danqing meant.

"I know a little, not much." Chu Danqing did know a little, but he only knew about the belly of the golden-edged silver-horned grass, and that was it.

Mu Yehou wasn't surprised, since Chu Danqing had been asked to come on her behalf halfway through the journey, so it was unlikely that she would do it again.

They're just participating.

“I know how, I’ll play a couple of rounds.” Li Qingying, finding it amusing, happily agreed.

Chu Danqing decisively stepped aside, and Da Bao also packed up his tablet and ran back.

“At home, the only game my grandma allowed me to play was Go,” Li Qingying said. “My grandma was very good at it, and I always lost.”

"Later I found out that it wasn't that my chess skills were insufficient, but that my grandmother's chess skills were too strong."

"I wonder who she trained with," Li Qingying said, before starting a game of Go with Mu Yehu.

The two players took turns placing pieces, moving very quickly.

Chu Danqing couldn't understand it, so he pretended to be a true gentleman who observes chess in silence.

Before long, Li Qingying lost.

It's not surprising that she lost, after all, she's only sixteen years old, and it was just something she played casually to relax.

"Not bad, not bad." Mu Yehou stroked his beard and said with a smile, "In another ten years, I will no longer be your match."

"You're quite the young talent! Shall we play another round?"

Upon hearing that she could continue playing, Li Qingying readily agreed without hesitation.

However, this game wasn't as fast as the last one.

During this time, Mu Yehou was instructing Li Qingying, probably because he valued her talent.

Time passed second by second, and then an old monk led a group of monks up the mountain.

"Please wait a moment." Mu Yehu stopped the game, said to Li Qingying, and then stood up to greet her: "Master Huiying has arrived, please take a seat."

"Please excuse the simplicity of this place."

The old monk in the lead, known as Huiying, also put his hands together and replied, "Shifang Zen Temple is also a place of arduous cultivation. How can it be considered simple? As long as you have the will, you can do it."

Chu Danqing sized up the group. He had heard of Shifang Zen Temple, a Buddhist sect.

What the other party said was true; this sect was just a small sect, and it did indeed focus on ascetic cultivation, making it an anomaly among the major sects.

They call it a sect, but it's more like a temple.

They do own farmland, but they cultivate and harvest it themselves.

The dozen or so monks they brought were probably all their disciples; it was a good opportunity to bring them out and broaden their horizons.

There are fewer people, so there aren't as many disputes or conflicts.

As for the intelligence report, it only mentioned briefly that it wasn't very valuable.

However, if you are willing to endure hardship but lack sufficient strength, this sect can serve as a transitional option.

After all, it's just a small sect, and it doesn't have any powerful inherited skills.

However, there are also drawbacks, namely that the criteria for accepting apprentices are quite strict.

They don't look at aptitude or comprehension, but only at character and conduct.

This is precisely why Shifang Zen Temple has not made much progress.

Shifang Zen Temple is not far from Dingxing Mountain; it takes only two or three hours to walk there.

His gaze swept across the group of monks, and then he spotted an ugly monk.

His nose was flat and droopy, his ears protruded, his lips were very thick, and his appearance was ugly.

However, his fellow disciples did not find it offensive; on the contrary, they seemed to be enjoying themselves immensely.

It can only be said that monks who can remain in ascetic practices generally have no problem with their character.

Therefore, no discrimination or similar situations occurred.

This ugly monk was about twenty years old, but he looked like he had just started practicing martial arts.

I don't know what's going on.

Chu Danqing temporarily identified him as a potential target for Yaksha.

If there isn't anyone uglier than him, then he'll be the one.

As for the so-called three calamities, they are probably inseparable from this "Rotten Chessboard Game".

After finishing his reception, Mu Yehou returned to play chess with Li Qingying once again.

Curious monks also gathered around to watch.

However, most of these people didn't understand Go. Like Chu Danqing, they were just watching the spectacle and couldn't comprehend the actual game's progress.

Mu Yehou didn't mind at all, and instead continued to play chess and give pointers to Li Qingying.

As time went by, more and more invited martial arts figures arrived.

Miaohai Peak also became lively.
