C98

As the ground rose, we once again returned to the palace on the surface, and Ning Tieyun was still very happy as he said: "Everyone, this old man thanks you once again. It is already late, so I'll have to inconvenience everyone to stay for the night.

Indeed, it was almost ten o'clock, and it was time to go to bed.

Ning Xian brought us to the garden that we went to just now, and went to the room on the left, and we all stayed in one room.

Ning Xian also left, but I was unusually insomniac. Normally speaking, my sleep was very regular, and now that I'm half a night deep, I should be able to fall asleep, probably because what I saw and heard today violated my common sense, so I couldn't help but think about these things.

I got up from the bed and looked at the living items around me. There wasn't much difference between our world and ours, and it seemed even more advanced. It seemed that it was different from what I had imagined.

The room's light barrier was extremely effective. The starlight outside was very bright, but once the doors and windows were closed, it would be pitch-black inside the room. Only a single bead embedded in the roof would give off a weak glow so that I could clearly see the road without having to touch the dark.

I opened the door, and the starlight outside started to lessen. The later it was, the more Floating starfish would return to the sea.

Walking in the garden, he saw the game again. Curious, he walked over to the left side and sat down. Looking at the game of chess, he realized there was some moss on it. It seemed like no one had used it in a long time.

Although I don't understand chess very well, but I can see the dominant style on the board. Blackie, the Red Team only has one Huang and one Cannon, three small soldiers, and two horses.

No matter who won, they should be able to win such a game. It was very strange why no one moved. I reached out to move Blackie, but a sharp cry stopped me.

My hand stopped in midair and looked in the direction of the voice. In between them, Ning Xian stood there, let out a scream, and immediately ran over. She looked at the chess board carefully, and sighed a breath of relief.

"Ning Xian, why are you so nervous about this game?" I asked curiously.

Ning Xian looked at me with a little anger and said: "You can't touch this chess game.

"Why is that?" I asked

Ning Xian spread out her hands and said: "I'm not too sure about this either. When I was young, I wanted to go and touch it too, but dad would always scold me and never let me touch it."

Ning Xian seemed to be in a good mood as she continued, "I also felt that it was strange. After asking around and hearing a few versions, the guards said that there were ghosts on top of the board. Once they moved, the ghosts would take over their bodies. Furthermore, there is another way of putting it that the citizens of Haixin City know about this game of chess. The citizens say that when this game existed, Haixin City's first master and a major power played this game of chess. Ning Xian became excited talking about these things, as though she was an expert at solving cases. She kept on deducing things, looking at her mature appearance, but her heart was very innocent. She would be infatuated with these things, as though children would always ask about some kind of strange things.

After saying that, she suddenly looked at me. There was a trace of craftiness in her eyes as she slowly approached me. I hastily crossed my hands over my chest as I asked, "What are you trying to do? I'm not a casual person that's like a demon or god."

In a flash, she said, "What are you thinking about? Who's interested in you? I'm not interested in men under 1.7 meters."

Kacha! The sound of porcelain breaking could be heard.

Ning Xian asked: "Did you hear the sound of something shattering?"

It was my fragile young boy's pride that was broken.

Ning Xian continued to ask me: "Ling, looking at you, are you a man who doesn't follow the rules, has a sense of justice, and has courage and decisiveness?"

He immediately ignited the Light of Hope once again and stuck out his chest that did not have any pectoral muscles, saying, "This is so embarrassing. You found out about this."

Ning Xian's head was filled with black lines as she said, "Then how about the two of us sneakily play this game?"

My heart went cold. This black-skinned girl is waiting for me here. If I knew earlier, I wouldn't have cared about her face. After all, coming to someone's house and messing with their taboo was very rude.

Ning Xian looked at my hesitant expression and said: "Alright, forget it. I knew that I had to find a real man in order to be brave enough."

He directly sat down without a second word, but the moment he sat down and saw Ning Xian's satisfied expression, he regretted it. How could I be so easy to control?

When Ning Xian saw that she had sat down after winning her plot and that she was about to reach out her hand to touch the chess piece, I couldn't help but find it funny. It was just like how a little friend didn't dare to go to those rural, legendary haunted houses by himself and brought along groups of people to go, but once they arrived at the gates of the ghost house, they became scared. Ning Xian was really childish.

Ning Xian's hands were clearly trembling with excitement as they made contact with the chess piece. Just as they were about to make contact, two heavy coughs sounded out, and Ning Xian accidentally fell backwards, letting out a miserable cry.

Ning Tieyun walked out with a darkened face. He did not say anything to me, he only walked over to help Ning Xian up, who had fallen down. Then, he sighed and said: "String'er, why are you so mischievous.

Ning Xian immediately hugged onto Ning Tieyun's arm, and started to act coquettishly. As expected, the technique worked, and Ning Tieyun was rendered speechless by his daughter.

Ning Xian then said to Ning Tieyun, "Father, I am already 18 years old. You said before to tell me the story of this chess game."

Ning Tieyun said: "I also plan to tell you then, this is not a secret, in fact many people know, it is not a big deal, tomorrow I will also decide to hold your coming of age ceremony."

Ning Xian said in shock, "How is it happening so quickly? Isn't my birthday in December?"

"Didn't the Little Friend send back his Tripterygium wilfordii for us? This is a huge matter, tomorrow I will announce to the entire city. At the same time, I will also bring forward your bar mitzvah. Ning Tieyun said happily.

Ning Xian rebuked me with a glance. Putting all of them together, why did it seem like I had done something wrong? Another person came to congratulate him, and another person sent him a gift. Why was she so unwilling?

Ning Tieyun continued, "Little Friend, sit down and listen."

I said, "Isn't this a secret? It's not good for an outsider like me to hear it. "

"Haha, that was just to prevent Ning Xian, who was young, from being mischievous and destroying the game, and to find someone to deceive her, I never thought that she would still remember it." Ning Tieyun laughed out loud.

Ning Xian, who was at the side, was holding back her anger. Her cheeks were puffed up as she looked at her father in a blaming manner.

Ning Tieyun immediately stopped smiling and said: "Actually this game has already existed for a few thousand years, it is said that when the Haixin City was just formed, at that time, the youngest daughter of the City Lord met a stranded fish on a shallow beach when she was out, it was actually either a different fish or a Sturgeon that was just born. The girl brought it back home and healed its injuries, before returning it back to the Blue Sea.

"After so many years, that little girl grew up. It's said that she was very pretty, although she didn't have a fairy-like appearance, she could still be considered pretty among the ordinary people. At the age of 24, she was engaged to a young warrior of the city. And that day, a strange man appeared. Even though he couldn't walk steadily, he could still feel a powerful aura from his body. "

"As the people in the city have frequently come in contact with the auras of the young people that they recognized from the Sturgeon, the mayor brought people out to welcome them. Aside from a few unique races, the only beast that can transform into a human is that young man, who can't even walk steadily, is a Immortal-ranked Ranker."

"In the conversation, the young man directly stated that he was the Sturgeon that the girl saved. At this time, everyone became even more shocked. What kind of monstrous talent was this, a Immortal-ranked practitioner who was not even thirty years old. Originally, Sturgeon would definitely be able to reach the Immortal-ranked before they are fifty years old, but there is also a limit to the number of Sturgeon that can be reached at most in Blue Sea. There can only be three Sturgeon, and each newly born Sturgeon can only be born after the death of another Sturgeon. "

"Furthermore, when Sturgeon leave the vicinity of Blue Sea, they would not possess the strength of Immortal-ranked. Ever since he saved her, he had fallen in love with her. Every day, he would put in all his effort to cultivate, and the moment he reached the Immortal-ranked, he would immediately transform and come ashore. The girl just thought that she saw a friend of hers from the past and happily took him for a tour around, even though he couldn't walk very steadily. "

"That day, the two of them came to this garden, and coincidentally, there was a chessboard here, so the girl took him to play chess. In the beginning, it was always the girl who won because he still didn't know the rules, so after he figured it out, the girl would be at a disadvantage. The two of them played another game of chess. At the start, the girl's fiancé walked over, and the girl happily explained to him about her fiancé. "

"At that time, his heart was broken, but he could not show it. Even though killing the man in front of him was an easy task for someone like him who was a strong Immortal-ranked expert, looking at the girl's blissful appearance, how could he make the girl feel sad? "He endured the pain in his heart and even smiled as he played chess with the girl. The girl was at a disadvantage everywhere, but the boy said he was going to leave when the girl was thinking about how to play."

"The girl said why didn't she leave after that? He said that he had matters to attend to and would return today next year. At that time, they had already left. And so, after a year, he really did come back, and at this time, the girl was already married and pregnant, and the two of them started playing chess again, but they had only gone one step, and the girl didn't know how to continue walking, so he got up and gifted the girl two fish. It was the Tripterygium wilfordii, he said that it was the embodiment of the heart of the sea. "

"After that, every year he would come up and play chess with the girl. They could actually play it all at once, but if they did, he wouldn't have an excuse to visit her every year. At first, the girl could not think of a way, but later on, she visited all the master teachers to learn chess. However, every time, she would only take one step, and the two of them would take another. Her husband had died that year, but the Sturgeon of the Immortal-ranked Warriors were still very young. That year, the girl was already more than 80 years old, and as an ordinary person, she had already reached the end of her life. The girl didn't know if she had fallen for a man, but when she had that feeling, she was already married. She couldn't betray her husband, and all she could do was play with someone every year. "

Ning Tieyun sighed and continued: "In the last year, he painfully endured. On that day, he came and saw the old her, and with the support of her son, he arrived in front of the chess board. Her son has watched the two play for a long time. That time, after she finished his last move, she fell on the chess board. The man in Sturgeon form helped her up and asked her softly, "Did you love me?"

"She said something to me

When they met by chance, Shao learned how to know when he was young.

How can you know that the fragrance of a flower only follows the wind when you love a butterfly.

The last part of the book says that one day, there will be someone who will come to complete this chess game, and the chess game will also be preserved. No one has moved the game for a thousand years, and although it is only a legend, no one will want to destroy a beautiful legend. "

After hearing this story, Ning Xian felt that it was a pretty good fairy tale, and when Ning Xian heard it, she also enjoyed it, feeling that it was still fresh in her heart. She pestered Ning Tieyun, asking him questions about whether Sturgeon found a wife or not.

Ning Tieyun didn't want to be entangled with his daughter anymore, so he said a sentence: "Enough, Xian'er, you're about to proceed with the bar mitzvah now, don't be so rash anymore." With that, he left.

After hearing this, Ning Xian's face became full of anger again.

I curiously asked: "Why do you seem to hate bar mitzvah?"

Ning Xian said angrily: "Of course, because the traditional city lords' female bar mitzvah s compete more in the Groom Search Competition." As she spoke, he stomped her foot in anger.

My mind jolted. "This is my chance to take advantage of this."

She looked at my face and immediately said, "What are you thinking?" Just as he was about to leave, he turned around and revealed a crafty smile once again. As soon as I saw this, I knew there was nothing good to do.

Ning Xian said: "Tomorrow, you will also be participating in the competition. If you win, you will have to tell my father not to marry me, and that you want the treasures.

I happily agreed before she happily left. After she left, I chuckled. "If I won, the one deciding would still be me. The raw rice has already been cooked into cooked rice, hehe."

Suddenly, he felt like he was an idiot with a black belly.
