Chapter 379: The Unfinished Game of Chess



Hearing Chongxuan Zhenren's words, Huangfu Yuyin couldn't help but look at Lin Xiu in surprise several times.

This old Taoist priest actually has such a high opinion of him! She thought in shock.

Her master commented that she was already a once-in-a-century genius, so couldn't this Lin Xiu be a once-in-a-thousand genius?

Lin Xiu didn't have much reaction to Chongxuan Zhenren's words, because the old man had already said something similar to him at the beginning.

The old man said to Lin Xiu that as long as Lin Xiu worked hard enough, with Lin Xiu's talent, his future achievements would definitely surpass his.

Although Lin Xiu was skeptical of the old man's words at that time, as time went by, his confidence in himself became more and more sufficient.

The realm he has reached along the way to martial arts has become a top existence among his peers. He believed that the old man had not deceived him, not the kind of mere words of encouragement.

The achievements that a person can achieve, in addition to being related to innate conditions and talents, are also inseparable from acquired efforts.

If talent is seen as the limit of what a person can achieve, then acquired struggle is another necessary condition for determining how far one can go and how close one can get to the limit.

It's not terrible that a person is not talented enough, but what I am afraid of is that I don't have talent and don't work hard.

Those who are talented and hardworking will be further and further away from you. Until the end, you can't match it.

Lin Xiu has always worked hard, and he has never been complacent. There is a Chinese proverb that says to live and learn until you are old. Lin Xiu has a supreme talent, but he still keeps this sentence in his heart. He knows very well that he still has a long way to go. The long road of life is far away and has an end, but the path of cultivation in the great world is never-ending.

Therefore, now that he heard Chongxuan Zhenren's support for himself, Lin Xiu's heart was not very excited.

If this is the first time, he may still have some mood swings.

"The Taoist has praised it, and in front of the Taoist Chief, I am just like this." Lin Xiu replied modestly.

In the face of seniors, it is still necessary to maintain due respect. Besides, this Chongxuan Zhenren is still a virtuous and respected senior, not the kind of predecessor who has no moral character and only knows how to rely on the old and sell the old.

"You're very modest!" Huangfu Yuyin heard Lin Xiu's reply, and couldn't help but pout.

She used to feel that Lin Xiu's strength was higher than herself, probably because Lin Xiu was two years older than herself, so she practiced for two more years.

Now hearing Chongxuan Zhenren's words, it seems that it is not as simple as she thinks, but because Lin Xiu's own talent also surpasses her.

She has been called a martial arts genius by her master since she was a child, and she can be said to be the proud daughter of the sky, and she has always thought that she is difficult to meet among her peers.

Unexpectedly, when he came back this time, he would lose when he met Lin Xiu, and Lin Xiu still had a deep grudge with her family, which made Huangfu Yuyin feel very uncomfortable!

Chongxuan Zhenren looked at Lin Xiu and said, "Poor Dao has never been clumsy, speaking of which, when you were still in infancy, Poor Dao saw your future talent. ”

Hearing Chongxuan Zhenren's words, Lin Xiu couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, and said with some surprise: "The real person knows me?" ”

Chongxuan Zhenren smiled and said, "Of course I know, Mr. Lin's grandson, how could I not recognize it?" Before Mr. Lin took you out of Yanjing, he settled here with me, and asked me to calculate a hexagram for you! So, when you came in just now, I actually recognized you a long time ago, but I didn't make it clear. ”

Regarding this, Lin Xiu didn't expect that he would be visited by the old man when he was a child and met Chongxuan Zhenren.

"That real person, have you ever fought with my grandfather?" Lin Xiu couldn't help but ask curiously.

Chongxuan Zhenren nodded and replied, "Yes." ”

"The result?" Lin Xiu continued to ask.

He was very curious about the result of the battle between his old man and Chongxuan Zhenren.

"No results." Chongxuan Zhenren said.

"Tie?" After Lin Xiu heard this, he asked again.

Chongxuan Zhenren shook his head and said, "If there is no result, there is no meaning of comparison, when time was pressing, Mr. Lin hurriedly took you away." Speaking of which, I still have that game to this day. ”

"Playing chess?" Hearing this, Lin Xiu couldn't help but be stunned.

"yes, why don't you try that game of chess?" Chongxuan Zhenren said with a smile.

Lin Xiu shook his head and replied, "No, presumably the chess game that the real person played with my grandfather is definitely not an ordinary chess game." With my current strength, I'm afraid I don't have the ability to continue this game. ”

Lin Xiu still has this self-knowledge, more than 20 years ago, his old man and Chongxuan Zhenren played chess as a competition between the two, so this game of chess is definitely not the kind of chess game in the ordinary sense, it is estimated that it is the most essential game of internal cultivation and internal strength.

As for the depth of the level of chess itself, I'm afraid it's secondary.

Therefore, Lin Xiu knew very well that with his current strength, he did not have the ability to continue this unfinished chess game.

If one day, he can be on par with the old man, then there is some possibility to continue this game of chess.

Well, it's too early.

Chongxuan Zhenren said: "Then wait for you in the future, when you want to continue this game of chess, Poor Dao will accompany you at any time." ”

Back then, he didn't finish that game of chess with Mr. Lin, and he also felt very regretful.

In this blink of an eye, more than 20 years have passed, Mr. Lin has never come to Yanjing again, and he doesn't know when he will be able to meet his old man again and finish this game of chess.

However, now that Lin Xiu is here, as the grandson of the deceased, if Lin Xiu completes this game of chess, it will be a good thing, and it can even become a good story!

"Okay, that's settled. In the coming day, I will finish this game of chess. Lin Xiu nodded.

Unexpectedly, following Huangfu Yuyin here, he had some unexpected gains.

Huangfu Yuyin was also depressed in her heart, originally she wanted to see what Chongxuan Zhenren's strength was, but she didn't expect to make a wedding dress for Lin Xiu.

Obviously, she wanted Lin Xiu to help her, but this was good, but it fulfilled Lin Xiu.

"Gone, gone, I'm sleepy." Huangfu Yuyin said to Lin Xiu, then turned around and walked out of the room.

"Dao Chief, let's take our leave." Lin Xiu hugged his fist towards Chongxuan Zhenren and said.

Since Chongxuan Zhenren is the old man's old man, then he naturally respects him even more.

The old man has never told him about Chongxuan Zhenren, and he must ask next time he has the opportunity.

"Feel free to come back." Chongxuan Zhenren said with a smile.
