"Really, I thought it would be endless training. In the end, it's just an inheritance. Wouldn't it have been better if I had given it earlier? Why did you send so many people to beat me? A test? I'm so tired! I'm so tired! "Shan Gu laid on the ground. Her delicate face under her mushroom hairstyle was filled with despair.
She had just received an inheritance that could only appear in myths.
It was called Gong Gong.
As a top student, Si Yin naturally had some understanding of ancient myths.
Gong Gong angrily crashed into Mount Buzhou.
Of course she knew about this myth.
But the problem was, she never thought that one day, this myth would be reflected in her real life.
She had actually attained this part of Gong Gong's legacy.
Actually, it was the same as how Shan Gu never thought that he would receive an archery inheritance named Hou Yi Shooting the Sun.
This group of people were full of doubt and confusion about what they had received.
Just thinking about it made them feel very strange.
Wasn't this a dimensional space?
Didn't they come here to earn some points for the school?
If someone told them that they would receive such an inheritance when they came in, no one, including Xiao Bai, would believe it.
Even the Child of Providence … Even the Providence Origin probably wouldn't dare to think about it.
This was something that they couldn't believe.
But it happened just like that.
And it happened without any warning.
Ji Chae Yi received the Eight Nine Mysteries, Shan Gu received Hou Yi Shooting the Sun, Si Yin received Gong Gong's inheritance, and Lin Zijin received the phoenix's inheritance … The myth had become reality.
What about Xiao Bai?
What was he doing now?
He was playing chess with the old Taoist.
Just like the others, he had entered this mysterious space without rhyme or reason.
Under an old pine tree, there was a stone chessboard. On the chessboard, there was an unfinished game of chess.
Yes, it was an unfinished game.
He didn't want to sit there and play chess.
What if after this game, dozens or hundreds of years had passed in the outside world? Wouldn't he suffer a huge loss?
After all, he was about to turn twenty, and Brother Lin would be eighteen in two years.
Wasn't it good to be together? Why must he make Zi Jin wait for him for several decades?
What he didn't expect was that the moment he appeared, an old man wearing a shabby Daoist robe appeared on the stone bench.
When he saw him, he even grinned at him. "Come, kid, play chess with me."
"I don't want to!" Bai Muye refused without any hesitation.
Were the tricks nowadays so deep?
I didn't take the initiative to sit there, and someone actually came out to seduce me?
I won't fall for it!
The old Taoist glanced at him, then smiled and waved his hand. Four images appeared in the air.
The scene changed.
Ji Chae Yi was fighting with the small blue snake.
Without hesitation, he jumped into the clear and surging river and swam forward with all his might like a fish.
The blue snake instantly froze the river, and the terrifying ice chased after Chae Yi.
Then, Chae Yi continued to swim downstream until she reached the terrifying waterfall …
Scene two.
Lin Zijin kept killing all kinds of fierce birds.
Seeing her get scratched by those birds, Shirō Makino's heart ached, and he frowned.
Scene three.
It was a figure standing on a mountain, shooting the sun with a bow …
Scene four.
Si Yin was surrounded by a group of huge creatures. She leaped high into the air and swung the hammer in her hand, striking the huge humanoid creatures in a frenzy.
Xiao Bai was a little confused.
He looked at the old Taoist. "This isn't some dimensional space?"
The old Taoist laughed and pointed at the chessboard. "Come and play chess with me! I'll tell you if you win! "
"This game of chess, don't tell me it's a hundred years in one go?" Shirō Makino's mouth twitched as he looked at the old Taoist.
"Haha, kid, you're so impatient. Is a hundred years very long?" The old Taoist looked at him with a smile.
"Of course it's very long. I'm only nineteen this year, okay? I still have to rush back to attend my brother's coronation ceremony at the end of the year! "Shirō Makino said with a pout.
"Only nineteen?" The old Taoist laughed and shook his head. "Don't worry, this game of chess won't take long. It's not like it's some immortal game … I'm just bored, so I asked you to play a game of chess."
"If you lie to me, I'll get angry." Shirō Makino sat down carefully and looked at the progress of the four scenes from time to time.
When he found that there seemed to be no problem, he relaxed.
Then, he looked at the situation on the chessboard and asked, "Do I play white or black?"
"Whatever." The old Taoist nodded and said calmly.
"Oh, then I'll play whatever." Xiao Bai said as he picked up a white piece from the side and placed it on the chessboard.
The old Taoist's mouth twitched, and the hand holding the black piece couldn't help but tremble. He looked up at Shirō Makino. "You don't know?"
Xiao Bai nodded calmly and said confidently, "Of course!"
The old Taoist: "…"
Why are you sitting down if you don't know?
Xiao Bai looked at the old Taoist with a pair of extremely pure eyes. His gaze was especially calm — didn't you ask me to play chess with you?
The old Taoist was also very speechless — but you don't know!
Xiao Bai: But you didn't ask!
The old Taoist:!!!
He thought about it and threw the black piece in his hand back. Then, unlike what Xiao Bai had expected, he didn't stop playing chess and chat happily with everyone. Instead, he took out a chess record from somewhere and threw it to Xiao Bai. "Read it. Play with me after reading it."
Xiao Bai:!!!
You can't do this, boss!
I still need to find my companions!
Look at Chae Yi, she … Okay, she's not in danger now. She actually obtained the Eight-Nine Arcane Art?
That's amazing. It seems like she will have 72 transformations after learning it, right?
Above the nine transformations, her magical powers are even more powerful … but does this thing really exist in this world?
It's quite amazing!
Chae Yi is not in danger. I have to find my girl!
Uh …
My girl doesn't seem to be in danger either. Those birds are no match for her at all.
Where's Shan Gu?
Tsk tsk … He is still watching that person shoot the sun on the mountain.
By the way, is that Hou Yi?
Where's Si Yin?
Uh, she is still playing whack-a-mole.
Okay, okay.
What a troublesome old man.
Xiao Bai picked up the chess record and read ten lines at a glance.
He flipped through it from beginning to end and felt like he could play.
He put away the white piece that he had randomly placed and rolled up his sleeves. "Come on, I'm already very powerful now!"
The old Taoist: Why do I feel like it was a mistake to play chess with this kid?
Clap!
Shirō Makino placed the white piece in another position.
The old Taoist's eyes suddenly revealed a trace of surprise.
He had just thrown the chess record to Shirō Makino, but in fact, it was just a joke.
After the vicissitudes of time, it was not easy to see a living being.
Furthermore, it was a human junior who came with the fortune of creation. It would be too boring if he simply gave away the inheritance.
Just like the four people in the picture, they were all confused and had no idea what was going on.
The old Taoist did not like this feeling.
Back then, he liked to guide the younger generation and was even especially good to some animals.
Not to mention the big green ox, he did not even do anything to the monkey that was jumping up and down in front of him, and even gave it a fortune.
Now that he was faced with such a handsome young junior, he naturally felt a sense of appreciation for talent.
As for the test … There was nothing to test.
From the moment Xiao Bai stepped into the dimensional space, everything about him had fallen into the old Taoist's eyes.
That was why he had pulled Xiao Bai to play chess as a prank.
In the end, the other party did not know how to play chess.
He had just jokingly thrown a chess record to the other party, but he did not expect that this kid … would actually learn to play chess in such a short time?
Moreover, he was playing well!
Although it was not quite the same as what he had in mind, it seemed to have given this endgame a fresh wave of vitality!
And wasn't this what they had been waiting for the most?
The old Taoist could not help but become serious.
A black chess piece fell.
Actually, it did not matter who won or lost this game.
What was important was who was playing against him.
Xiao Bai lost this endgame without any suspense.
"This small chessboard, some people compare it to the world's power …" The old Taoist smiled and placed the chess pieces back to the previous endgame state, looking at Xiao Bai and said.
"Chess is chess. Why are there so many sayings?" Xiao Bai, who had lost, curled his lips and looked at the four pictures again.
Chae Yi followed the cunning but ultimately inferior blue snake to worship the True Lord. Lin Zijin was accepting the Phoenix's inheritance. Shan Gu finally bravely shot an arrow at the figure. Si Xiaoyin had just stopped the whack-a-mole game.
"Then tell me, why aren't there any sayings?" The old Taoist asked.
"That's because the chess player is powerful. He has the world in his chest, so he can play the world on the chessboard. If the chess player is a country bumpkin without any vision, no matter how good he is, he is just a powerful chess player. "Shirō Makino said.
"That's a refreshing way of saying it." The old Taoist praised.
"How is it refreshing? How is it refined? That's what people have been saying since ancient times, "Bai Muye said straightforwardly.
The old Taoist laughed and messed up the unarranged chessboard. He stood up and said, "If you have any questions, you can ask them now."
"You don't need me to win?"
"You have already won."
Xiao Bai nodded. "I like the way you speak that I can't understand!"
The old Taoist could not help but laugh again. There was a hint of kindness in his eyes. He looked at Xiao Bai and said, "Do you think this is a dimensional space?"
Shirō Makino thought about it and said, "I thought so before. After all, the various living creatures found here are almost the same as the creature map of the dimensional space. Although some of them are missing, in general, this place still matches the characteristics of a dimensional space. But now, I don't think so. I have never seen a dimensional space as exciting as this place. Also … "
"Also what?"
"Also, it feels like these inheritances are waiting for us …" Shirō Makino said.
The old Taoist nodded and said, "These inheritances are indeed waiting for the future generations to inherit them. But it might not be you. But if you are here, then it is you."
"Do you have any more stories to tell me? I'm all ears. "Shirō Makino looked at the old Taoist and said.
His expression was also very serious and not frivolous.
The reason was simple.
Because whether it was the inheritances obtained by his companions in the image or the old Taoist in front of him, they all felt incompatible with the ancient civilization he knew.
It was closer to the ancient human myths he knew since he was young!
Chae Yi's Eight-Nine Arcane Art was the number one divine art of the Chanism. Erlang Deity used this divine art to dominate the world.
The person Shan Gu was facing was also famous. Hou Yi shot the sun in the myth, Hou Yi!
Zi Jin's inheritance was a little unfamiliar. But seeing the phoenix born from the fire, he also felt a sense of familiarity.
Si Yin's inheritance … Oh, he saw it, Gonggong!
The Gonggong who crashed into Mount Buzhou in anger!
This was also very impressive.
It seemed that Si Xiaoyin would specialize in the direction of a tank in the future.
But his body was not like a tank.
He had never seen such a cute tank.
As for what kind of inheritance this old Taoist would give him, or not, it was no longer important.
To Xiao Bai, he wanted to hear those stories.
"There are no more stories, just what you see," the old Taoist looked at Shirō Makino with a smile, "Some things can be done, but not said."
F * ck!
Boring!
Were all these ancient sages and almighty experts so senseless?
Thinking of Big Beauty and her unspeakable stories, Xiao Bai felt even more melancholy than Shan Gu who had watched Hou Yi shoot the sun a hundred times.
Can't say that you dragged me to play chess with you?
Can't say that you put on such a show?
What a scam!
The old Taoist looked at Shirō Makino with a pair of eyes that seemed to have seen through the vicissitudes of the world. "There are many things that you need to discover on your own. Otherwise, wouldn't this long life be very boring?"
"No, I like the feeling of having everything under control." Xiao Bai felt that he still had to struggle.
"I will give you the inheritance." The old Taoist changed the topic stiffly.
As he spoke, he reached out his hand.
And then — —
The Talisman Artist Grimoire on Xiao Bai's body flew out.
Xiao Bai's eyes slowly widened as he watched his Talisman Artist Grimoire fly in front of the old Taoist.
Hey, that was mine in the first place!
Oh right, that Quasi-Emperor old thing Shangguan Xiaolong's spiritual body is still sealed there. There seems to be that young Protoss too?
What was his name again?
Son of God Zi Guang?
Seems like it.
I haven't talked to him for a long time.
But there's nothing to talk about with that guy.
I've squeezed out almost all the information about the Protoss from him.
Eighteen vassal kings, one Protoss Celestial Emperor.
Oh, and thirty-six Sons of God.
There are thirty-five left, and Son of God Zi Guang is sealed in this grimoire.
The old Taoist glanced at the Talisman Artist Grimoire, his eyes revealing a faint sense of familiarity.
Xiao Bai looked at him and thought to himself, Don't tell me it's yours.
"I can't believe that this artifact that I refined on a whim is still in the human world and in your hands." The old Taoist seemed to be a little emotional. "Now that you've come to see me, this should be a kind of Heaven's will."
Although he thought of this possibility, Xiao Bai was still a little shocked.
"The Talisman Artist Grimoire … is it something you refined?"
The old Taoist smiled. "There are only some small details inside. By pouring energy into the talisman and using a special brush, ink, and paper to carry it, it can unleash power that surpasses one's own realm … It can also be regarded as a fighting method."
Did this mean that he had met a real ancestor?
Xiao Bai knelt in front of the old Taoist. "Disciple greets Master!"
The old Taoist was completely stunned.
This kid is so handsome, how can he be so thick-skinned?
In the past, only ugly people around me would be so thick-skinned, right?
For example, that monkey who came to ask for treasures and elixirs …
The old Taoist looked at Shirō Makino speechlessly. "Do you know how much karma you have to bear by calling me Master?"
"Everything I know comes from this grimoire. Since the grimoire was written by you and you personally refined this artifact, if you're not my Master, what are you?" Xiao Bai didn't know how much karma he had to bear. In any case, even if he didn't call him Master, the karma would probably not be small.
"Then do you know how terrifying your seniority would be if I were your Master?" The old Taoist looked at Shirō Makino and continued to ask.
Is there such a good thing?
Xiao Bai's face revealed a look of surprise. He suddenly had a bold idea.
When the old Taoist saw Xiao Bai's expression, he was instantly angered and amused.
He pointed at him. "Your mischievous look is somewhat similar to that monkey."
"You mean Sun Wukong? Am I not so much more handsome than him? "
Shirō Makino was instantly indignant. Of all people to compare with, he had to compare with a monkey?
"Forget it, this is the will of the heavens. Get up."
"You agree?"
The old Taoist nodded. "Since that's the case, you will naturally be my disciple after receiving my inheritance."
Shirō Makino heaved a sigh of relief and kowtowed to the old Taoist three times. He had to confirm this relationship!
Even though he was still guessing the old Taoist's identity, no matter what, he was definitely a supreme super big shot!
This was the real deal, alright?
Then, he stood up with a happy expression.
The old Taoist looked at him. "Since you've received my inheritance, I won't ask you to spread the Dao. I only hope that you can live well in this life. When the time comes, just have the ability to protect yourself."
The old Taoist's tone wasn't that serious, but Shirō Makino's heart sank. He raised his head and couldn't help but ask, "Master, now you are …"
"Neither alive nor dead." The old Taoist seemed to understand what he wanted to ask. He casually wiped the Talisman Artist's Tome and said, "Take it!"
The Talisman Artist's Tome flew back into Shirō Makino's spatial ring.
"That's … it?"
Shirō Makino looked at the old Taoist and thought to himself, 'Where's the artifact?
Vajra Ring, Eight Trigrams Furnace … Just give me any one of them!
If you really can't do it, you can also send your Senior Green Ox to protect me! '
The old Taoist laughed. "All the arts in the world have been written in this book. What else do you have to be dissatisfied with? Don't be like that monkey. He wanted everything, but in the end … Hehe. "
In the end?
Didn't he become a Buddha?
Shirō Makino looked at the old Taoist. Just as he was about to ask something, he suddenly realized that the old Taoist had disappeared!
The old pine tree in front of him had also disappeared.
The chessboard and stone bench under the old pine tree … Everything had disappeared.
"He left just like that? He's really … irresponsible! "
Shirō Makino looked at the scene before him and couldn't help but sigh softly.
The old Taoist actually didn't answer a single one of the questions he wanted to ask!
Wasn't he too cunning?
If that was the case, he might as well be like Zi Jin and Chae Yi. He didn't say anything and just went straight to the test and gave him the inheritance.
Why did he have to show himself to see this?
Was it necessary?
At this moment, Xiaobai was speechless.
He silently took out the Talisman Artist's Tome and used his mental power to check it. He was instantly stunned.
Because the content of this book had changed completely.
