Chapter 272: The Mystery of Chess

Bai Muyun directly ignored his arrogant attitude and continued his analysis: "And this tea is really superb for a long time. She lifted the teacup again, inhaled the lingering fragrance deeply, and sighed, "The power of wood and the power of water are really natural." ”

With a "snap", the tea clip fell directly from the young man's hand.

Bai Muyun was stunned by this sound, glanced at the young man's eyes that still didn't formalize himself, then put the teacup back on the table, stood up and said, "He Yun is bothered!" Then he turned around and was about to leave.

"This little nephew He, can you give the old man a face and stay for a while?" A slightly old voice sounded without warning, causing Bai Muyun's legs to freeze in place.

She turned her head slowly, looking behind her with a slight frown, and at some point, an old man in a green shirt and white hair appeared in the house. And the young man bowed his head respectfully and stood beside the old man.

The old man looked at himself with a smile on his face. Seeing that she hesitated, she continued: "The old man really admires the five elements attribute of this tea. ”

"Master, he's just a ......" The green-clothed young man heard the old man say the word "admiration", and hurriedly spoke, but was pushed back by the old man's eyes.

"This Immortal Venerable" Bai Muyun saw that the old man did not have any momentum around him, but he could make people have a sense of oppression like facing Mount Tai, and he was obviously an extremely peak master, and said respectfully at the moment, "This son thinks well, I am just a waiter, and my cultivation is also very low, so I am not worthy of drinking the tea here." Farewell. ”

The boy in green looked sideways, with an extremely angry expression, but was directly skipped by Bai Muyun. She knows. The same words that come out of his mouth and from himself have a completely different effect.

"He Xiaonephew, can you stay. Listen to the old man's explanation? The white-haired old man still said with a pleasant face, "This way of tasting tea has nothing to do with identity and cultivation, only ordinary people." Only those who are not yet enlightened will value this so much. And I think He Xiaonephew should have already surpassed this, right? ”

What a powerful word! Bai Muyun really nodded wildly secretly when he heard it! This is the criticism of education, buckled high hats, in one go, leaving no traces.

"Back to this Immortal Venerable, my cultivation is still shallow, but I have been cultivating for about five years, and I have not yet found my own 'Dao'. Completely ordinary people. Bai Muyun knew that this master really wanted to keep herself by saying this, so she couldn't hold up the guest's shelf too much. But just now, he must be the shortest, otherwise the young man in green will not be able to be the old man's beloved apprentice, and he will not be able to eat sooner or later.

"Huh. Even if I don't touch it, I think He Xiaonephew is not far from here. The old man's words seemed to be a pun, and there was a flash of light in his eyes, and he stretched out his hand and pointed to the futon opposite, "Please take a seat." ”

Bai Muyun no longer shirked when he heard this, sat down again, looked at the old man with a solemn expression and said, "Immortal Venerable, please speak, He Yun will remember every word." ”

"Hmm." The white-haired old man nodded and waved slightly. All the qiē on the table disappeared, "I don't know what the little nephew said about this tea just now?" ”

"It's fragrant and sweet, it's the best tea I've ever tasted."

With a "snort", the young man in green stood behind the old man, raising his chin, still not looking at her.

"Stand down!" The old man suddenly shouted.

"Yes...... It's Master. The young man obviously didn't expect the old man to suddenly get angry. He was so frightened that he couldn't help but tremble all over his body, and his speech was a little stammered. When even disappeared into this room.

Bai Muyun watched him leave, but he was a little puzzled. Although this young man's cultivation is high, he has not reached Shen Qingli's level. But how could he just disappear here? And the tea set, kettle, etc. on the table just now, how can they come and go as soon as they are called?

The white-haired old man obviously saw all her careful thoughts, but he still continued the topic of tea: "Then if Little Nephew He wants to name this tea, what will it be called?" ”

"Water willow tea, hehe. I can't think of any elegant names. Bai Muyun felt a little embarrassed when he said it. How can the name of tea be like this?

But who would have thought that the old man didn't have any intention of making fun of him, but asked very seriously: "Little nephew He, why do you use water and willows?" ”

"The mixture of water and wood, in my cognition, can only be reflected by the grace and unyielding of the willow tree. Willow is the most common in wood, and it is close to the mountains and rivers, the softness of the water, the elegance of the wood are interpreted very well, and at the same time, it is like the posture of the tea bent in the boiling water...... So, huh. ”

The old man's brows furrowed slightly, but he fell into deep thought. The room suddenly fell silent, Bai Muyun had just noticed that he couldn't hear the movement of the outside world at all here. Could it be that there is a ban here?!

With a "swish", a more complex set of tea sets appeared on the table after the old man's flick. The old man's movements were like flowing water, and within two breaths, he handed over a cup of teacup full of extremely rich and faint fragrance, and said solemnly: "Little nephew He, taste this tea." ”

Bai Muyun took the cup with a little trepidation, and suddenly felt as heavy as a rock. She understands that this is the old man's serious test of himself. Although he didn't know what he wanted, the deep refusal to admit defeat encouraged her to have a good experience.

After picking up the tea and observing it for a while, she closed her eyes. The faint smell filled her nostrils, but when she inhaled it, it seemed to turn into a warm airflow, warming her meridians......

After taking a sip, the feeling was even more obvious, and it was not only warm, but also gave birth to a trace of fiery power, as if it was about to ignite his dantian.

Slowly putting down the teacup, Bai Muyun pondered for a while before saying, "This tea is of excellent quality, but it is not as good as the one just now." But the power of fire within it is unprecedented. Strangely, this kind of fire is like being lit by firewood, and the temperature from the beginning instantly increases to an extreme, and then dissolves into a hundred remains, and dissolves into intangible. ”

The old man showed a surprised light in his eyes this time, and with a wave of his hand, he hid this set of tea sets, replaced it with another pair, and poured out a cup of tea for Bai Muyun after dividing it by two.

Bai Muyun was completely confused now. What the hell does this old man want to do? Could it be that there is no restriction on cultivation in this house, just to sell tea?

Knowing that her boring speculation was definitely not the truth, she still obediently took the cup of tea.

One comes and goes. Bai Muyun had already drunk six different cups of tea. These teas are either light or fragrant, which she has never heard of before, and each of them has some very strange combinations of five elements, which also allows her to experience the wonder of this tea handful. Compared with. At the beginning, the tea leaves of the power of water and wood were the most ordinary. Behind this is the power of fire and wood, the power of gold and wood, and the power of earth. There are even two that contain wind and thunder.

"Little nephew He" After the old man hid the tea set for the last time, he finally said solemnly, "You are really a very special person." ”

"Immortal Venerable, you can also see the special thing about this tea?"

"Hehe, don't you know that there are only five people in the world who can drink the power of the five elements from tea?" The white-haired old man gently twisted his white hair. Hehe laughed, "And these five people are all world-famous figures." ”

Bai Muyun frowned, and his heart was vigilant again. Although the old man had always been kind, why did he say that? Could it be that my tea tasting has revealed my identity?!

"Don't be nervous." The old man laughed: "The old man has been waiting for someone for more than ten years. I didn't expect to find it at the trade fair in this True Child City today, which made me happy before it was too late, so what would be the evil intention? ”

Bai Mu Yunqian lowered his head, and the feeling of being seen through was really embarrassing.

"Where my apprentice offended before, the old man apologized for him, hoping that He Xiaonephew has a lot of heart and does not have the same knowledge as him."

"Immortal Venerable. You say this, I He Yun really can't bear it! She stood up with a snort, took two steps back, bent down directly, and saluted, "He Yun came from a humble background, his mother died early, and his father never gave up." Only then did He Yun have the opportunity to walk the world like a normal person today. It was already a great honor for He Yun to be able to get the six cups of tea poured by Xianzun himself. Immortal Zun's 'apology' still hopes that Immortal Zun will take it back. ”

The white-haired old man could see at a glance that the white-clothed boy on the other side spoke from the bottom of his heart, without any adulteration and artificiality, and his heart warmed at the moment, he raised his right hand lightly, straightened Bai Muyun's body, and sighed deeply: "It is really rare for young people in this world to have such a heart. Alas...... Those with high talents are so ambitious, those with average talents are jealous, and even those with ordinary qualifications are only willing to rely on the side door to help the seedlings grow. ”

As if he had thought of something, the old man's expression repeatedly showed helplessness: "Refusing to accept teachings and being maverick in everything has become a common problem of the younger generation." In today's world where the aura of heaven and earth is so scarce, I don't know if I still have hope of finding the true successor of the mantle, alas. ”

"Immortal Venerable, don't say that, that son just now is a leader in cultivation, qualifications, and even temperament." Bai Muyun didn't know if the surroundings were being monitored, although there was some pretentious elements in these words, but at the same time, she also wondered, what kind of successor was this old man looking for?

"I don't know where the little nephew is?" The old man did not take Bai Muyun's words, and his tone returned to normal.

"Five Elements Gate." Bai Muyun was a little apprehensive, because she couldn't figure out the relationship between this Shi Yao Fairy and the Five Elements Sect.

"No wonder!" The old man suddenly realized: "The five elements are complete! And it's a rare mutation attribute...... But the physique is completely different from the body of the five elements, and I seem to be able to sense only fire and wood from your body......"

Facing the old man's soul-piercing eyes, Bai Muyun said calmly: "My physique is indeed very strange, so I was almost turned away at the beginning. ”

The old man paused, and after reacting for a while, he laughed and said, "No vision, no vision!" Haha, come, come, come, what little nephew, can you play chess? Accompany the old man to kill two sets. ”

Bai Muyun looked up in the direction: "Immortal Venerable, there are still people waiting for me outside......"

"Yuyang." The old man snorted softly.

"Yes, Master!" A mature, crisp voice came from the back of the house. Bai Muyun reacted for a moment, and then he was sure that this voice was the one he had heard called "Senior Brother" in the restaurant before.

"Go and inform Tong Xiaoshuang that Little Nephew He is a guest on the old man's seat."

"Yes, Master." From his words, Bai Muyun immediately judged that the green-clothed young man must be the most popular among these disciples, because he even called his master in a tone completely different from this senior brother.

"Tong Xiaoshuang will still give the old man a little thin noodles." The white-haired old man looked at Bai Muyun with a smile, and a bamboo chessboard appeared on the table at the same time.

"You...... Could it be a Dan? Bai Muyun suddenly thought of Tong Xiaoshuang's previous words, and was a little shocked and couldn't speak. From the first time she listened to Elder Fat talk about the elixir in Yueluofeng, she put the definition of the word "Dan" in an extremely lofty position in her heart. And she was later seriously injured in the battle of Yin Fire Hall and was rescued by the black-faced god, and she watched her magically save Nie Qinfeng, who had been almost burned to the point of losing people's hearts, and even left a little scar to completely heal it. This made her understand the word "Dan" more profoundly. And the kind old man in front of him turned out to be a Dan man......

"Haha, that's just a word for people who don't understand pills. There are so many profound things in this world, where can anyone become the one who truly controls the 'Dan'? It's just that it's all controlled by 'Dan'. If there is one person who can ascend to the Immortal Realm, then I really hope that he can grasp the essence of the 'Dan Dao' and refine his cultivation on top of it. ”

"Immortal Venerable will definitely succeed." Bai Muyun secretly glanced at the old man, and saw that when he said this, he didn't have too much melancholy, but was more excited. It seems that this person's mind has long exceeded his imagination.

"Come on! I don't know what kind of attainments he has in chess skills? ”

"Xianzun, Yun'er only played chess with her father when she was a child, she is really stupid, please give me advice." After all, she was not polite, and directly took the black first.

Time passed quickly in the game between the two.

Although Bai Muyun is not proficient in chess, when she plays chess with the old man, she can always have a faint feeling, as if he is not playing chess, but the relationship between the five elements. In particular, the "qi" of each white piece seems to form a special connection. This made her a little puzzled at first. But later, after slowly immersing himself in the relationship map of the five elements qi in his imagination, Bai Muyun actually had the feeling of a sudden opening.

Originally, her chess skills could not be compared with the old man, but she began to follow her own ideas, with the layout of the five elements plus wind and thunder, and successfully took away the old man's two chess pieces.

This made the surprise in the eyes of the white-haired old man even stronger, and while playing chess, he looked at Bai Muyun more carefully, and the color of love and talent in him lingered. (To be continued.)
