Film and Television: Starting with Using AI to Solve the Rare Chess Puzzle

"Oh! What a coincidence!"

Lu Ming, who was drinking in a tree not far away, paused, put down his wine pot, and looked at the scarred man in the distance, feeling somewhat surprised.

Unexpectedly, Wang Yuyan encountered an enemy of Mantuo Manor as soon as she stepped out. However, she did not make any move and just watched silently, waiting for things to develop.

"What?!"

Wang Yuyan couldn't believe that she had encountered her mother's enemy while simply riding in a carriage. The emotions she had been maintaining could no longer be contained, and her face showed fear.

"What do you want to do?!"

"What do I want to do?!"

The scarred man's voice was icy. After dismounting, he took a few steps to Wang Yuyan and reached out to grab her.

"Rip!"

Her clothes were torn, revealing glimpses of her skin. Wang Yuyan screamed in terror, and the scarred man's voice rang in her ears again: "Now you know what I want to do, right?!"

"Don't come any closer! Please don't come any closer!"

Wang Yuyan flailed her arms wildly, screaming desperately as she shrank backward, the chilling fear almost engulfing her.

"Today I'll have a good taste of Madam Wang's daughter to avenge the murder of my brother! ... I'm sure Madam Wang's expression will be quite interesting when she finds out."

The scarred man's bloodshot eyes were filled with only twisted vengeful pleasure and naked desire. He grinned maliciously, ignoring Wang Yuyan's harmless resistance, and reached out again, aiming directly at her snow-white shoulder exposed under her torn clothes.

"Get away! Don't touch me!"

Wang Yuyan's voice became shrill and distorted with extreme fear, tears streaming down her face as she pushed her palms towards the approaching scarred man.

"Hmm~!"

Wang Yuyan placed her hands on his thick arms, and the scarred man's expression changed drastically. He immediately sensed something was wrong, as his internal energy, which he had cultivated for many years, was flowing continuously out of those jade-like hands.

At this moment, the warm current flowing into her hands made Wang Yuyan realize that she seemed to know the Beiming Divine Skill. She quickly grabbed the arm in front of her and used the Beiming Divine Skill to absorb the scarred man's internal energy.

"Help me!"

As his internal energy continued to drain away, the scarred man felt his body growing weaker and weaker. He no longer had the strength to break free and could only look to his brothers behind him for help.

The henchmen noticed the scarred man's unusual behavior and quickly dismounted, rushing towards the two to separate them.

As soon as the henchmen placed their hands on the scarred man, they immediately felt their weak internal energy uncontrollably surge into his body.

These people's internal strength was originally cultivated through some superficial external skills, and it wasn't much to begin with. They could bully ordinary people normally, but if they encountered the Northern Darkness Divine Skill, they could only consider themselves unlucky.

"Clang!"

The weapon flew out of his hand.

These people then fell down, their strength completely drained, leaving them weak and powerless.

Wang Yuyan staggered to her feet, looking at the eight people lying on the ground with a bewildered expression. The fear on her face had not yet faded. Without bothering to pack her things, she used her Lingbo Weibu (a martial arts technique) to run into the nearby forest.

"You're still too naive!"

Not far away, Lu Ming shook his head helplessly, casually flicked his right hand, and eight leaves shot out like arrows, accurately slicing through the throats of the eight scarred men and ending their lives.

After retrieving Wang Yuyan's bundle from the horseless carriage, Lu Ming chased after them.

……

"Mom! I'm so scared!"

"Cousin! I'm so scared!"

"Grandma Yan! Youcao!..."

Wang Yuyan leaned against a tree, her arms wrapped around her knees, her head buried in her knees, sobbing softly. Her body trembled, and her stomach growled loudly.

After draining the energy of the eight scarred men, she panicked and ran until nightfall, only stopping when she was completely lost.

In the dark forest, only the cold wind howled, and there was no other sound. The silence was frightening. Fear combined with hunger and cold finally broke her down, and she curled up next to a tree and cried.

"Snap snap!"

She felt despair. The sound of leaves snapping echoed in the distance, so clear in the quiet forest.

"Who is it?!"

Like a frightened bird, she jumped up.

At this moment, her hair was disheveled, her face was streaked with tears, and her clothes were torn, barely covering her body. She held her tattered clothes with one hand and gripped a pebble tightly with the other, looking warily in the direction of the sound.

"It's me!"

A deep, powerful voice rang out, and Lu Ming, dressed in a blue robe, appeared quite imposing in the dappled moonlight. He carried Wang Yuyan's package in his right hand, which also contained two oil paper wrappings that emitted the aroma of food.

Upon seeing that it was Lu Ming, Wang Yuyan breathed a sigh of relief, her body went limp, and she sat down on the ground, her stomach growling.

"Eat up!" Lu Ming placed the package in front of Wang Yuyan and said in a deep voice, "Remember today's lesson, then wipe away your tears, rest for the night, and continue your journey tomorrow."

Wang Yuyan remained silent, the fear in her eyes still lingering. She silently picked up two oil paper packages, opened them, and gulped down the roast chicken and sesame cakes inside. Every now and then, she would pick up the kettle and take a few sips of water. She looked as disheveled as could be, with not a trace of the fairy-like aura she once possessed.

Seeing this, Lu Ming simply shook his head, gathered some dry firewood from nearby, took out a lighter to light the campfire, then leaned against a nearby tree, took out a martial arts manual and began to read it.

The martial art he was looking at was called the Dragon-Capturing Skill, and it was one of the few manuals among this batch that Lu Ming planned to practice.

The Dragon-Capturing Skill is one of the 72 Shaolin Arts. It is profound and difficult to master, but once mastered, it can transform true qi into an invisible hand, giving it the ability to manipulate objects from a distance. In the original novel, Qiao Feng was even able to control the direction of the Eighteen Subduing Dragon Palms' force through the Dragon-Capturing Skill, achieving an effect similar to the White Rainbow Palm.

There is another martial art called Crane Control, which operates on the same principle, but compared to the expansive and dynamic Dragon Capture, Crane Control emphasizes more precise manipulation. The two martial arts can be said to complement each other.

Lu Ming was drawn to the "telekinesis" ability of these two divine skills, which he believed had immense potential, hence his time dedicated to cultivating them.

After eating her fill, Wang Yuyan glanced at Lu Ming, who was quietly reading, before carefully taking out a new set of clothes from her bag, disappearing into the nearby woods, and soon emerging dressed neatly.

Compared to her previous ruqun (a type of traditional Chinese dress), she is now wearing a set of martial arts attire, clearly realizing that the ruqun is not suitable for traveling.

"I've calmed down!"

Lu Ming looked up for a moment, then looked away and said softly.

"Um!"

Wang Yuyan nodded, then sat down near Lu Ming, her head down, seemingly lost in thought. She had realized that Lu Ming had taken her away not to marry her, but for other purposes.

"Go to sleep! We have a long journey ahead tomorrow!"
