Chapter 225: Victory gained by returning to Senior Brother’s life
In Donggeng District, no one wants to play chess with Chen Changsheng.
And Chen Changsheng never wants to play chess with Gui Wuyan.
After all, no matter how good the skills are, they are afraid of being cheated.
At this time, No. 8, Donggeng District, Gui Wuyan's residence.
Several senior brothers and sisters are busy.
Lu Yang is busy cooking, and more than a dozen large pots are cooking simultaneously.
Xia Sijun is busy refining pills, and more than 20 pill furnaces are operating simultaneously.
Chen Changsheng and Gui Wuyan sit opposite each other, with a chessboard between them.
In the wooden fish space, Chen Changsheng's clone plays black chess.
In Donggeng District, Chen Changsheng's original body plays white chess.
Every time Gui Wuyan drops a piece, Chen Changsheng's clone in the wooden fish space drops a piece in the same position.
And every time the faceless monk drops a piece, Chen Changsheng's original body also drops a piece in the same position.
It is equivalent to Gui Wuyan playing chess with the faceless monk in the air.
Gui Wuyan stopped from time to time, the wrinkles on his old face trembled, and he waved to the left.
Over there, Xia Sijun immediately threw the longevity pills that had just come out of the oven.
Gui Wuyan poured the whole bottle of pills into his mouth, swallowed it whole, and immediately had a few more black hairs on his head.
Then, he counted with his fingers for a moment and placed a piece on the chessboard.
Half of the black hair on his head immediately turned white!
If you simply predict the various directions of a game of chess, you won’t consume so much life, or even no life at all.
But the game of chess that Gui Wuyan was predicting at this time involved too many causes and effects, and was related to the freedom of Zhang Wanzhi and others, as well as the mysterious wooden fish owner.
The bigger the matter involved, the more people there are, and the higher the level, even the smallest matter, you have to pay the price of life for divination.
For example, if he wanted to calculate the color of Pang Yuanfu’s underwear, he would definitely not have to pay any price, and he could calculate it with his fingers.
But if you want to calculate the color of the underwear of the supreme elder of Xianchen Sect, you still have to pay a little price.
After playing more than ten chess moves in a row, Gui Wuyan only had half of his black hair left on his head.
He waved to the right again.
Lu Yang immediately brought a bowl of noodles over.
"Just out of the pot, longevity noodles, eat while hot."
Gui Wuyan wolfed down a bowl of noodles, not even a drop of soup was left, and immediately there were more than ten black hairs on his head.
He calculated again with his fingers, and made a move...
In the wooden fish space, Li Xiuchang and the other two stood aside, not daring to breathe, staring at the situation on the chessboard.
Although the three of them didn't understand it very well, sometimes they couldn't guess what the intention was when a chess move was made.
There is a saying that "a true gentleman watches chess without speaking", so the three of them were shielded from their spiritual consciousness and isolated from the sound at this time, but this was completely unnecessary. Even if Li Xiuchang and the other three wanted to remind them, they didn't have the ability to do so.
However, the overall situation is not difficult to see. As the two sides continued to fight, the situation changed from tense to gradually clear, and Senior Brother Chen Changsheng began to gradually gain the upper hand.
In the end, this little advantage was transformed into a winning trend bit by bit.
Finally, the faceless monk on the opposite side surrendered.
Win!
"It's you, Chen Turtle!" Zhang Wanzhi shouted Chen Changsheng's nickname in excitement.
"Awesome!" Motu said concisely.
Li Xiuchang also gave a rainbow fart.
It's really awesome!
Chen Changsheng smiled, and the victory obtained by cheating didn't make him very happy.
Moreover, this victory was hard-won, but it exhausted the cook and his wife.
This is a victory that Lao Gui exchanged his life for!
Although Lao Gui used to do this kind of thing when he had enough life before, he would always calculate every time he played chess, and he never lost.
Later, he died soon because his life was not long enough, and he gave up the hobby of playing chess.
"You won." The faceless monk suddenly stood up and said.
He didn't even have facial features, and he didn't know how to say it.
"Then why are you still talking? Let's go to the next level!" Zhang Wanzhi said proudly.
However, the faceless monk looked at Chen Changsheng and said, "You are not here in person, and you are suspected of cheating. You will be disqualified from the second game."
After that, he waved his hand and Chen Changsheng was sent out of the wooden fish space.
Now there were only Li Xiuchang, Zhang Wanzhi, and Motu in the wooden fish space. In fact, sending Chen Changsheng away was equivalent to making Li Xiuchang and his team lose the help of the Donggeng District think tank, which was a heavy loss.
Zhang Wanzhi was furious: "Can't you afford to lose?"
The faceless monk ignored Zhang Wanzhi's fury and said, "The victory of the first game is still valid. Do you want to play the second game immediately? If you give up, the first game will be invalidated."
Motu said in a deep voice: "Continue!"
We can't let Chen Changsheng's hard-won game be invalidated.
It's been more than a month, and they won this time, and this is also the closest they have ever been to escape.
"The second game is a team game, which will test your tacit understanding and cooperation, as well as...luck!"
The faceless monk reached out and poured out all the chess pieces from the two chess baskets on the chessboard, and then put a black chess piece into one of the chess baskets.
He put the two chess baskets away, took them out again, and said:
"Only one of the two chess baskets has chess pieces. If you finally get the chess basket with chess pieces, you will win this game."
Zhang Wanzhi muttered: "Why is it different from the second game we played before?"
"The second game is a team game, and it will be adjusted at any time according to the situation." The faceless monk replied.
"But... is it that simple? Isn't this just a matter of luck?"
Both chess baskets were sealed, and the divine consciousness could not penetrate them. If you want to get the chess basket with chess pieces, you can only rely on luck.
"No, you can know in advance which chess basket has chess pieces, and you can choose a chess basket first, but your opponent will have one chance to exchange chess baskets."
"Opponent?!"
Li Xiuchang and the other two looked at each other, and then looked at the faceless monk: "Where is the opponent?"
"There are only three of us here, where is the opponent? You also captured others?"
The faceless monk shook his head: "There are more than three living people here."
After saying that, he looked at the beast bag on Li Xiuchang's waist, stretched out his hand, and two Yuanying flew out of the beast bag.
A skinny old man's Yuanying, a red-haired demon cultivator's blood-red Yuanying.
Li Xiuchang opened his mouth, wanting to say, why did you rob me? But in the end, he said nothing.
These two Yuanying are indeed two living people.
The faceless monk took off the soul-sealing talismans on the two Yuanyings, and the two Yuanyings immediately regained their ability to move, but they were confused for a while.
The faceless monk also told them the rules.
"As long as we choose the chess basket with chess pieces, we can leave here and regain our freedom?"
The two Yuanyings were overjoyed. They thought they would die, but unexpectedly, there was light at the end of the tunnel.
"We will participate!" The two hurriedly agreed.
Play! This must be played!
There is no loss if you lose, and you will win back a life if you win!
The faceless monk said to Li Xiuchang and the others: "Since there are only two people here, for fairness, you can only have two people on your side to participate in the game. You need to choose one person to go forward to check the chess basket. The person who is chosen will not participate in the subsequent games."
"Xiuchang, why don't you go." Zhang Wanzhi said to Li Xiuchang.
Mo Tu also nodded: "This game is actually a test of acting skills. After all, we are both old."
The implication is that the two are old, have lived a long life, have a lot of experience, have a wide range of knowledge, and are very cunning... In short, they are not comparable to Li Xiuchang, a young man.
Seeing the two brothers so confident, Li Xiuchang didn't know what to say, so he nodded and agreed.
Next, at the signal of the faceless monk, Li Xiuchang went forward to check the two chess baskets.
"Now, you can tell your two companions what you saw." The faceless monk reminded.
Li Xiuchang immediately sent a voice message to the two brothers: "There are chess pieces in the chess basket on the left!"
Immediately afterwards, Li Xiuchang was isolated by a layer of transparent barrier, which closed his consciousness and made it impossible to communicate with the outside world, but he could see and hear the situation outside.
How things will develop next is not something Li Xiuchang can participate in and control.
Li Xiuchang doesn't know how the two brothers will choose and how they will behave.
It was Zhang Wanzhi and Mo Tu's turn to choose the chess basket, and the two began to communicate through voice transmission.
At this time, the competition between the two sides had actually begun.
Every move of the two brothers will be observed by the two Yuanyings on the opposite side, and will become the basis for their next decision.
In the end, the two brothers chose the chess basket on the left.
And the two Yuanyings automatically got the chess basket on the right.
Next, the right to choose was in the hands of the two Yuanyings, and they had a chance to exchange chess baskets!
They could choose to exchange or not.
But after making the choice, everything was settled, and the party that got the chess piece would be free!
