The First Demon of the Chan Sect

Chapter 335: Chapter 24 Plotting a Marriage, Ao Luo’s Daughter Comes of Age

Above East Kunlun Mountain, the sky stretches clear for thousands of miles, faint sounds of immortals play, as immortal cranes soar freely through the high skies.

Laozi and Li Qingming sit opposite each other, silently staring at the chessboard placed squarely in the middle.

Li Qingming picks up a white stone and gently places it in the corner to complete the encirclement.

Laozi frowns slightly, contemplating for a long while, and says, “Qingmingzi, this move of yours appears to seal and block, yet it has the posture of a wolf driving a tiger to devour!”

“Ha ha ha, Master! If I don’t press hard, wouldn’t I be eaten by your big dragon?” Li Qingming laughs heartily.

Laozi tosses aside the black stone in his hand, and with a helpless wry smile, says, “You rascal, can’t you let this old man win for once?”

“Master jokes! Life is like a game of chess, every move should be for the win! A single mistake leads to an endless string of them! Even if giving way, what can one do?” Li Qingming shakes his head, seemingly helpless.

“It seems you are determined!” says Laozi, with his eyebrows playfully arched and a smile asking.

“No choice, Netherworld River Daoist always sticks to his old ways, if we don’t drag him into this game, sooner or later he will be calculated by the Western Two Saints!” Li Qingming spreads his hands and says, “It’s just poor Uncle Tongtian’s ox!”

Laozi waves his hand nonchalantly, and says, “Forget about their having not yet met; even a match made in heaven can face twists of fate!”

“Ha ha, Master is right! It was the disciple who was too concerned!” Li Qingming responds with a light laugh.

Laozi thinks for a moment, then says, “Well, this old Tao agrees! It’s just that Fu Xi is Nuwa’s elder brother after all, we still need her consent.”
