Chapter 1: The road meets the old man who plays chess

"Grandma, I asked Erhu to go to school together, and I'm leaving. ”

"Go ahead, be careful on the road. ”

My name is Wang Le, and I have lived with my grandmother in this Wangjia Village since I was a child. Growing up, I had no memories of my parents. I only occasionally know from my grandmother's words that my father's name is Wang Jiuling and my mother's name is Yannan. As for the more, there are only a few books left by my father at home, but most of these books are some idle books such as chess scores and music scores, and I can only infer that my father is a good person.

The continent we live in is called the Xuanzong Continent. The reason for this name is that legend has it that tens of thousands of years ago, there was a Xuanzong-level person on this continent.

In this continent, there are very few people called monks, they have the ability to cultivate immortals, and their lifespan is very long, even long. The reason why they are so rare is because the entry conditions are very harsh, that is: fairy fate! Yes, it is this kind of ethereal, unclear things that no one can say are often the most demanding.

Because they are scarce, every monk, everywhere, is very popular. Every monk is admired by ordinary people like us.

"Wang Le, don't go quickly. I've been waiting for you for a long time. "A little boy in a tiger hat shouted to me in the distance. His name is Erhu, he is a good friend of mine, and he has always worn such a tiger hat since he was a child. I heard him say that this is a hat that his mother specially made for him in order to make him safe for the rest of his life.

"It's coming, it's coming. ”

"I'll tell you, we'll go faster after school, and we'll go to the mountains to play, and I've heard that there's a real tiger on it. My two uncles went up to see him, and we went to look for him after school. Erhu said excitedly.

"Tiger, how is it possible, such a small hill used to be said to have a real dragon. I think your second uncle is starting to go crazy again. I don't want to go. ”

"If you don't go, then I'll go by myself, and when I find the baby, I won't give it to you." ”

"Don't think about these ethereal things every day. Read well. ”

"Don't believe it, maybe I can also cultivate immortals. Maybe you can too, yes! I asked my second uncle to see you before, and he said that you have an immortal fate, and he said that you can also cultivate immortals, and it will be very powerful!"

"Come on, your second uncle, that madman still said that he could cultivate immortals, but now, he is delirious, and he is still talking all day long. Hurry up, you're going to be late!" I don't believe what Erhu said, I don't know myself yet? From the beginning to the end, I'm a 15-year-old person, except for growing taller, I really can't see any difference from others. Why can't I see that I can?

Erhu also knows that if he continues to talk about it, I won't believe it. It's better to go faster.

After walking for more than ten minutes, Erhu finally couldn't bear it anymore and said, "Wang Le, look, there is an old man, is he playing chess there?" ”

I was also attracted by his words, and looked in the direction of his finger, "It seems to be, but how can he play chess alone?"

"Just go and see, let's go. Erhu said a little impatiently, and as he spoke, he had already run over.

"Wang Le, come and see, what kind of chess is this, why haven't I seen it. Erhu suddenly shouted to me.

I walked over unhurriedly. It wasn't the game we played, there were only black and white, but black and red. Each piece is also marked with the words "horse", "elephant", and so on. "It's chess, it's a kind of chess that mimics battle. It's just for some idlers to play when they're fine. Let's go."

"Young man, do you know this kind of chess?" the old man suddenly raised his head, his face full of smiles, and the smile was all over his thin face, where his cheekbones could be clearly seen, and although he was full of gray hair, he was neatly groomed, and looked very energetic.

"Of course I know, but I haven't played much either, I just learned about it from books, made a pair of my own, and played with it occasionally. ”

"Then let's have a hand, hehehe. The old man began to smile a little obscenely.

"Come on, you don't have enough chess pieces, they are not complete, they are all missing a horse, how to play." As I spoke, I pointed to the empty spot of the "horse".

"You just get down, I'll let you have a horse. Hahaha. ”

"Old man, do you still look down on people? Wang Leshang, teach him a lesson. Erhu said indignantly.

"Okay, don't cry if you lose, you're so old, I'll say we're bullying you"

"Hahaha, don't be afraid, don't be afraid, just come, just come"

......

"Uncle, look carefully, I'm going to eat you. ”

"No, no, I didn't see it clearly just now, I regret making a move, you're going to lose soon. The old man said a little panicked.

"Hey, how many times has it been uncle, you have regretted five or six times of chess, and you will not be able to finish playing chess if you regret it again. Erhu said a little sarcastically.

"Okay, good, the feng shui here is not good, boy, you go to my house with me, I don't believe I can't win you. The old man looked at Wang Le, his eyes were not only full of unconvincing but also a little surprised.

"No, what if you kidnap me later, I'm so handsome, what if you covet my beauty." ”

"That's not up to you. I said I had to go. ”

Before I could answer, the old man, grabbed the chess pieces on the table with his left hand, carried me with his right hand, and flew up with his feet upward, as if he had lost gravity.

Erhu rubbed his eyes a little confused, and flew up? How did you do it? Immortal? That old man is an immortal. Is it really an immortal? Erhu only cares about the aftertaste, but forgets to care about Wang Le's safety.

"Stop, old man, hurry. Wang Le's face turned white at this time, like a bird that had broken its wings all the time, wanting to land, but he was afraid of falling to pieces.

After a moment's pause, the old man finally stopped.

"It's here, it's here. What catches your eye is a simple, but not simple, courtyard. "Follow me, you won't be able to get out when you get lost. Don't think about going back, it's so remote here, no one can find you, and you can't go back. ”

"There's something wrong with you, old man. What are you pulling me here for, I don't even know you. Although he said this, Wang Le still unconsciously followed.

"Chess, of course. The old man replied a little impatiently.

"I won't go down, you have to go down yourself, I'm leaving. At this time, Wang Le was very scared. Wang Le is not a small person, but in the face of the scene in front of him, no one will be afraid. In Wang Le's memory, this kind of monk immortals are very powerful, they can kill people in an instant.

"It's coming, it's coming, it's not going down. You can answer me a question first, who did you learn this chess from? You can also see that I am not an ordinary person, and killing you is enough in an instant. The old man said these words a little casually, but his face was still full of smiles, and in his words, he felt that he was a casual murderer.

"I learned it from books. Wang Le finally mustered up the courage and replied loudly.

"It's still a little courageous, book, what book?" the old man looked at Wang Le with a little surprise.

"I can't remember what it was called, but it was a book my father left me. ”

"Your father, then your trick of losing the car is also from your father's book?" the old man looked at Wang Le with a little surprise.

"Yes, the book also says that those who want to achieve great things are not informal. ”

"If you want to achieve great things, you don't have to be informal. If you want to achieve great things, you don't have to be informal. If you want to achieve great things, don't be informal......" The old man repeated this sentence.

"Is there a problem? No problem, I'm leaving, you can send me back. I just flew away, Erhu must have told my grandma, my grandma must be in a hurry. Wang Le said a little anxiously.
