The bell rang, which means that Zenzi and Duke Heguo had arrived at Qipan Mountain.

Duke He walked to the top of the mountain railing and looked at the green forest below, as if he was thinking.

He is the host of the Mei Society, and even if he has everything in mind, he has nowhere to ask for help, because the Zen master did not show up at all.

The Zenzi rests in the Sanqing Temple halfway up the mountain.

The great masters of the Buddhist sect rest in the Taoist temple. This matter is a bit strange no matter how you look at it, but the Duke of Heguo knew that the Zen master didn't care about these things at all, so he naturally wouldn't say much.

Duke He looked at the palace in the distance and said to the official standing beside him: "Then let's start."

The bell rang again, and the Meihui chess battle officially kicked off.

In the green mountains, countless monks began to move and walked towards the pavilion that had long been viewed.

Looking from the top of the peak where Duke Heguo is located, it is like a chess piece moving on the chessboard, and naturally gives rise to a feeling of marching on the battlefield.

Whether it is the monk standing in place or walking, they are still paying attention to the movements in several places.

Of course, the most popular one is the baby face, and people want to know who he will choose as his first opponent.

Or would he choose an empty pavilion as casually as Mei would have been in the past few times?

The movements of masters such as He Zhen, Que Niang, Gu Yuanyuan, Shangjiulou were also very concerned, and many eyes were still on Jing Jiu by the stream.

Tongyan stood alone on the cliff, watching the clouds passing by in front of the mountain, but still not moving.

He Zhen also drank wine with the little girl on the upper reaches of the stream.

Que Niang, Shangjiou and Gu Yuanyuan moved, and walked into the pavilion that he had already chosen.

Seeing this scene, some monks' expressions changed slightly.

If they still fail to select a chess pavilion in the end, they will be assigned to an empty pavilion by the host.

It can be imagined that the pavilion between Que Niang and the three people will definitely be empty all the time.

No one wants to encounter such a powerful enemy in the first round of the Meihui.

Chess is a matter of elegance. If you run and chase in the mountains, it will seem too rude, but those practitioners move significantly faster.

They walked towards the pavilion elsewhere.

Not long after, most of the monks who participated in the chess battle sat in the pavilion.

Someone noticed that Jing Jiu was still sitting on the grass by the stream.

"Is this imitating the young master of baby face?"

A monk laughed and said, "It's really ridiculous."

Someone said, "He Zhen didn't choose a pavilion."

The monk sneered and said, "Who is He Zhen? Who is he?"

...

...

Chess battles in some pavilions have begun.

There is a dedicated person outside the pavilion to record chess scores, nominally preserving materials. In fact, everyone knows that these chess scores will be sent down the mountain continuously. Today, there are countless princes and nobles in Chaoge City waiting for these chess scores and are willing to pay a huge price for them. Since the court cannot stop them, it is good to earn some funds from them.

There are also many pavilions where there is only one monk sitting.

Some people were expressionless, while others were muttering to themselves, hoping that the young face would not come here.

He Zhen walked back, stood beside Jing Jiu with a wine pot, and asked, "Do you want to come?"

Jing Jiu said, "I won't drink."

He Jun said, "But you play chess."

Jing Jiu glanced at him.

He Jun said: "If you want to win the face of your child, you must pass my level first."

Jing Jiu understood what he meant.

Zhao Layue and Senior Sister Cui were a little surprised.

Seser looked at the half piece of grilled fish in his hand and felt that he should be thrown to the ground, but he felt a pity.

She had never eaten such delicious grilled fish.

Even if he has the ability to grill fish, He Zhan seems to be the second best in the world.

Many people noticed the movement here and were surprised to hear He Zhan’s invitation to fight.

Only then did they realize that He Zhan had never chosen a chess pavilion because he had this idea.

Will Jing Jiu accept it?

...

...

Jing Jiu said, "No, I have an appointment with others first."

He Zhan didn't expect that he would be rejected, so he raised his eyebrows slightly and said, "Who?"

Jing Jiu did not answer his question again.

He left the stream and walked towards somewhere.

There was an uproar.

It’s not because he rejected He Zhan’s invitation to fight, but because... his face moved!

Almost as Jing Jiu took a step, he had been standing by the cliff for a long time, turned around and walked towards somewhere.

Countless eyes moved with Jing Jiu and the baby face.

Even those monks who had already started playing chess subconsciously stopped moving and looked over there.

People were getting more and more shocked, and even He Zhan opened his mouth.

Jing Jiu and Tongyan seemed to be walking towards the same place.

Everyone's walking is a line left between heaven and earth. As long as it is not parallel, they will always meet.

The place they will meet is not by the cliff, not by the stream, or by the plum blossoms.

It is very secluded, with dozens of clusters of alien wild plums growing, and a short pavilion is hidden in it. If you don't pay attention, it will be difficult to find it.

...

...

He Zhan understood.

Everyone in the mountains also gradually understood.

The most popular game of chess in this year's Meihui chess game is of course the battle between Jing Jiu and Tongyan.

In a sense, this game of chess represents the dispute between the Qingshan Sect and the Zhongzhou Sect, and is another battle between the leaders of the Taoist cultivation.

His Majesty the Emperor suddenly decided to watch the chess game, probably just to watch this game of chess.

In the eyes of many people, if Jing Jiu wants to meet Tongyan, he needs to win at least a few games before he can meet Tongyan several days later.

If he has this strength or luck.

Who would have thought that they would meet at the beginning of today's chess battle.

This is certainly not accidental.

It turns out that from the beginning to now, they have never thought about going to another pavilion.

What they want to play is the first game of chess.

...

...

He Guogong stood at the top of the peak, looked at the picture below, and was speechless, waved his hand and said, "I'm informing the palace quickly."

If His Majesty the Emperor cannot see this game of chess, he will not be able to lose anything.

...

...

Nanwang took Qingshan disciples to the west mountain residence.

Many disciples still had suspicion after hearing the news.

...

...

The Zenzi withdrew his gaze at the mud statue of the Taoist temple, looked at the Taoist priest who came to report the news and asked, "Who will take the initiative?"

The Taoist priest said, "When I left, I was guessing first."
