At this time, the black feather had already opened the curtain and let Wang Xiang and the others into the house.

Wang Xiang took the lead in the hand, Fu Jun followed behind him, and before anyone entered the door, he heard someone laughing loudly in front of him, and said: "Mr. Canglang is visiting, and I will shine brightly in the Water Pavilion." As he spoke, a short and thin figure walked over, Fu Jun looked at it and saw that it was an old man in his fifties, wearing a bamboo blue robe, his hair was slightly gray, his face was white, and his eyes were sharp.

As soon as Wang Xiang saw the visitor, he immediately smiled and said, "Brother Ziye, don't come unharmed." ”

Fu Jun also followed behind and bowed down, knowing that this person was Ding Mu, the mountain chief of Meishan Academy.

Ding Mu took a few steps forward and pulled Wang Xiang and said, "Come, come, let's go to the back hall to talk." He said to Wu Yu again: "You go and soak two pots of Junshan eyebrows, and then go yourself." ”

Wu Yu bowed down and retreated out of the house. Ding Mu pulled Wang Xiang and went straight to the back hall, seeing that he was really enthusiastic.

However, Fu Jun knew very well that Ding Mu's enthusiasm was not true.

When he was talking, although Ding Mu had been laughing, the muscles at the corners of his eyes were very tight, and the corners of his mouth drooped slightly, all of which showed that he was unhappy at the moment. Especially when he saw Wang Xiang, Ding Mu's lips closed extremely tightly for a moment, which was a sign of anger.

Fu Jun didn't know what the relationship between Wang Xiang and Ding Mu was, but it was obvious that Ding Mu did not welcome their arrival.

Sure enough, as soon as he entered the back hall, the smile on Ding Mu's face immediately disappeared. He shook Wang Xiang's hand and went to sit down at the chess table.

Wang Xiang's face showed a little helplessness, and he followed and lowered his voice: "There is Brother Lao Ziye to help." ”

Ding Mu snorted and said coldly: "I know that you won't come if you have nothing to do." ”

Wang Xiang sighed, sat down across from him, and said, "Then you should also know that I don't come often, but it's for the sake of your academy." ”

Ding Mu paused when he heard this, and a trace of inexplicable emotion crossed his eyes, and then. The anger at the corner of his mouth gradually faded. He flicked the sleeves of his robe, took a chess piece from the chess table next to him, held it in his hand, and raised his eyes to look at Wang Xiang.

Wang Xiang smiled on his face, sat up straight and said, "Black." ”

Ding Mu stretched out his hands. On his thin and powerful palm, a crystal black spot lay quietly, and he snorted coldly: "You are lucky." ”

Wang Xiang said "concede", and then took all the sunspots on the chessboard, and Ding Mu also put the white seeds into the jade bowl in front of him. Wang Xiang took the lead in black, and the two of them started to play chess.

Fu Jun has also learned to play Go in the past two years, although his chess skills are not proficient, but he can finally fight with Wang Xiang.

Wang Xiang's chess style is the same as his own, sparse and open, free and casual, at first glance it seems to be disorderly, but the killing moves are hidden in it, which is really unguardable. Because of his superb chess skills, Wang Xiang and Fu Jun play chess very quickly, and often Fu Jun wants to lose a son in half a day. But Wang Xiang didn't even think about it, so he left it casually.

At this moment, watching the two of them play chess, Ding Mu seems to be also a fast chess master, although he and Wang Xiang are silent, the momentum of their hand talk is aggressive, which makes Fu Jun can't help but think of the unhappiness on his face.

It seems that he has also brought his emotions to the chessboard, and every drop is like an angry declaration of war.

And looking back at Wang Xiang, he did not show weakness, and he responded very quickly. In just a few minutes, the two of them have already made dozens of moves each. I saw that the black and white on the chessboard were staggered, strangling and fighting, which dazzled Fu Jun.

At this time, he heard the door curtain ringing softly, and Fu Jun turned his head to look. I saw Wu Yu walking in with a black lacquer tray in his hand, and on the tray was a set of teapots and teacups with bamboo leaf patterns painted with green and eastern porcelain, which were not precious, but simple.

Wu Yu unhurriedly put the tea set on the low table beside him, flicked the carbon in the carbon basin again, and then bowed slightly to Fu Jun and Xu Niangzi. He quietly retreated.

After the door curtain closed behind him, Wang Xiang put down the chess pieces, stood up and said to Ding Mu: "Let's get here first." I'm going, Maudeke? He asked Mr. Tian, and Mr. Tian's single name is a Xun character, the word Maode.

Ding Mu rolled his eyes and said coldly: "You ask me, who do I ask?" ”

Wang Xiang seemed to be extremely accustomed to his bad attitude, and he didn't get angry when he heard the words, he only shook his head, then turned to Fu Jun and said, "You come with me." ”

Fu Jun and Xu Niangzi followed, but saw Wang Xiang walk to the west wall, and gently pushed to a certain place on the wall, and a secret door opened on the wall, and he walked in first. Xu Niangzi followed Fu Jun, and the two also walked in.

Behind the secret door is a small regression, according to Fu Jun's visual measurement, the area is about five or six square meters. To their left was a stone table and bench with candles and lanterns, and in front of them was a long stone staircase leading to the ground, and there was a black hole in it that could not be seen.

Wang Xiang was afraid that Fu Jun would be timid, so he leaned down and comforted her softly: "Sister Tang, don't be afraid, just follow your grandfather." ”

Fu Jun said obediently: "With my grandfather with me, my granddaughter is not afraid." ”

Wang Xiang nodded with satisfaction, then took a white silk lantern from the stone table, lit a butter candle next to it with a flint, and then placed the candle in the lantern, and said, "Let's go down." ”

Fu Jun answered, Xu Niangzi stepped forward to hold one of her arms, Wang Xiang held the lantern to the head, and the three of them walked down the stone steps.

The door behind him closed at some point, and in the secret passage, there was only the light emitted by the lantern in Wang Xiang's hand, and there was no light on the side.

Fu Jun walked while feeling the flow of the air around him.

I don't know who built this secret passage, but it is quite a coincidence, although it is extremely narrow, the air circulation is very good. Fu Jun walked down a long step and walked on the flat ground for a while, his breathing was still very smooth, there was no peculiar smell at the end of his nose, and he could even smell the faint fragrance of plum blossoms.

Fu Jun's sense of direction has always been excellent, and after a little calculation of the distance and direction, he knew that they should be near the eastern foot of Meishan at the moment, and the fragrance of flowers in the air must have come from the mountain.

Wang Xiang saw Fu Jun quietly following behind him, his expression was very calm, and he couldn't help nodding secretly, and then a glimmer of hope rose in his heart. Looking at her granddaughter's calm appearance, maybe she can really help today.

The three of them walked silently across a stretch of flat ground, followed by a sloping staircase, and the further they went, the fainter the scent of the flowers became. When they finally reached the end of the trip, there was no lingering fragrance in the air, but a damp rush into their noses.

This place must be near the water, Fu Jun thought secretly, while following behind Wang Xiang, stepped on the last step.

The place where they were at this time was almost exactly the same as the scene behind the secret door of the Zhaoshui Pavilion. It is also a regression, a stone table and a stone bench, and there are also lanterns and candles on the stone table. Wang Xiang put the lantern in his hand on the stone table, took a step forward, and tapped a few times on the stone wall in front of him.

As soon as the sound of his tapping fell, a slight "squeak" was heard, and the stone wall opened in response, and a bright light poured in. (To be continued.) )
