Let's say that Fang Guolian left Shiyan Village, because of the horses, the journey has been accelerated a lot, and the road is not so hard. Every time I think of the three-flavor jade soup and tofu feast, there seems to be an aftertaste in my mouth, and I sigh for several days, sighing that no matter what kind of skill in this world, if it reaches the level of supernatural beauty, it should make people feel different. Time flies, not long days into Hubei into Hunan, Fang Guolian inquired all the way, knowing that it was not far from Dongting Lake, Lianyun Mountain Tianyuan Temple was just around the corner, and he was a little nervous in addition to excitement.

On this day, Fang Guohuan traveled to a big town called Fengtai, and when he saw that it was getting late, he found an inn to stay. I put the package in the room first, and then I went downstairs, chose a table and asked for food, and used it at home. There were a few guests at the table who didn't know what they were talking about, and their interest was quite high, Fang Guolian didn't pay attention to it at first, and occasionally heard a person: "That surnamed Li's tone is too big, although he hasn't met an opponent for more than ten days, but he hasn't come out to win him yet, what do you think is the best in the world?" Fang Guochuan was stunned when he heard this, he was sensitive to the word "chess", so he listened carefully, and at this time he heard another person: "If people don't have great skills, do they dare to set up chess?" It is not known whether this person may be a national player. "Playing chess?" When Fang Guojian heard this, he was surprised in his heart: "There are people who set up martial arts competitions, but I haven't heard that there are people who set up chess fights, what is the purpose of this person to set up chess games?" Another one said: "Now there is a thousand taels of silver in the ring, and no one has been able to take it for more than ten days." Wang Xiucai in the east of the city was originally the highest chess player in Fengtai, but yesterday he was defeated by the man surnamed Li on the chessboard in the ring, and he really responded to the sentence 'all the plates, leaving no son'. When Fang Guochuan heard this, he was secretly surprised: "What kind of master will you be if you eat all the chess pieces of an opponent with a certain chess strength?" Fang Guohuan thought that he didn't have this ability at this time, because it was almost impossible.

The nature of a chess player, Fang Guohuan couldn't resist his curiosity, so he got up and came to the table, bowed his hand and said, "Everyone, please." When the few guests at the table saw that it was a strange teenager, one of them answered: "Little brother, is there something wrong?" Fang Guochuan said: "I heard you talking about one thing, and I felt strange below, and I couldn't help but want to know what was going on, so I bothered." The man said: "It seems that the little brother is a stranger passing by, and he doesn't know about this strange thing that happened in the local area, and the little brother wants to hear it, so I can tell you about it." There is a large family in our Fengtai City, and the owner is called Wang En. He has an elder brother named Wang He, who is a high-ranking official in the capital, and returned to his hometown half a month ago, and received a chess master named Li Ruchuan on the road. In order to satisfy his interest, Wang and the old man set up a chess game in the Tielong Temple, let Li Ruchuan challenge the chess masters of all parties, and set up a lottery of 1,000 taels of silver, a game to win or lose, if there is a winner of Li Ruchuan, you can take the silver and leave. It's a pity that for more than ten days, several good chess players have come happily and left in defeat, and no one is Li Ruchuan's opponent. Another person said: "This Li Ruchuan is very good at chess, and he often eats it all over the game without leaving a single son, which is really a big trick for chess players." Because there is no opponent in the chess game, yesterday the wind was released, saying that those who are on the chessboard but can have a surplus to occupy a piece of the field will be rewarded with 50 taels of silver, and if they occupy the land of 100 sons, they will be rewarded with 500 taels. When Fang Guohuan heard this, he was surprised, thanked the guests, and went back to the room to rest. Before Tianyuan Temple arrived, he met such a master first, and Fang Guolian already had the intention of going to the chess game tomorrow, and it was also a rare opportunity for the opponent, so he was really excited all night.

Early the next morning, Fang Guohuan left the inn and inquired all the way to the Tielong Temple. Because of the great influence of the chess game, many people gathered at the Tielong Temple like a temple fair, and Fang Guolian followed the lively flow into the temple. At this time, on the field in front of the Daxiong Treasure Hall of Tielong Temple, there was already a sea of people, and even the walls of the temple were full of people. In front of the main entrance of the main hall, a platform more than one meter high was built with wooden stakes, a red carpet was laid on it, and a high chess table was placed in the center, and two cans of chess pieces were placed next to it. On the right side of the platform is a row of bamboo chairs, and a table is covered with a red cloth of colored gold. Ten steps away, surrounded by low railings on three sides, more than a dozen stout family members stood and protected, and there was some momentum of their own, although it was set up as a chess game, it was really a chess field. Fang Guohuan finally squeezed through the gap in the crowd to the front, temporarily watched the changes, and waited for the opportunity to appear in the chess.

In the blink of an eye, the sun was halfway out. At this time, a housekeeper-like person walked up to the stage, arched his hand to the crowd, and then said with a grin: "Fathers and fellow villagers, there have been martial arts competitions since ancient times, and now my lord has set up a ring for Mr. Li Ruchuan to fight chess, and came to the field in order to lead out those good chess players to compete with Mr. Li, but unfortunately for more than ten days, none of them can get started with Mr. Li." At this time, someone in the crowd shouted: "Since Mr. Li is so powerful, why don't you set up a handicap?" It also made everyone look lively, and more people came to the stage to respond. When the housekeeper heard this, he shook his head and said, "Mr. Li's purpose in setting up chess is to see if there are any good players in the world who can come out of his appearance." Let the chess show that there is a difference in the strength of the two sides, and Mr. Li is not interested in it, and he does not disdain to play chess with such an opponent. Mr. Li's chess style is: eat it all and leave no son. If you can store a number of live chess pieces on the chessboard, and there are also rewards, I wonder if there will be a master on the stage to fight today? At this time, a person in the audience suddenly sneered: "What a big breath, 'eat it all over the plate, don't leave a son', really have such a great ability, what kind of fighting, what kind of chess, isn't it already high to the sky?" It's really bullying me, and there is no one in Hubei. As he spoke, a scholar came up from the crowd. When the housekeeper saw it, he couldn't help but rejoice: "This son is here to fight chess?" Can I register my name? The scholar sneered: "In Xia Jingzhou Lu Wenyi, go and call the chess master Li Ruchuan to come out, and this son will let him have three sons first." As soon as these words came out, the crowd was in an uproar. Fang Guohuan was also surprised, knowing that there was a master who should play chess. The housekeeper was happy at this time and said: "Mr. Lu is prepared, he must have a big means, so very good, Mr. Li can't wait for such an opponent to come, please wait." Then he turned and went into the temple.

The time is not big, and a group of people came out of the Daxiong Treasure Palace, headed by a man in Tsing Yi, outside his fifties, with a thin face and yellow beard, and a gloomy face, giving people a feeling of discomfort. Next to him was a fat man with a big belly who looked like an official, as well as several local faceable figures. The man in Tsing Yi walked straight to the chess table and sat down, this person was Li Ruchuan who set up the chess game. The fat man's name is Wang He, the official to the Ministry of Rites, on the way back from the capital to visit relatives, I occasionally saw Li Ruchuan fighting chess with others, invincible, and every time the opponent was defeated. Wang He knew that the current Wanli Emperor was good at chess, and Li Ruchuan was invincible in chess, and he would be of great use in the capital in the future, so he hired him with a lot of money. That Li Ruchuan had a gloomy and eccentric temperament, no one in his eyes, and he didn't pay attention to Wang He at first, but later saw that he was a Beijing official, so he followed. At this time, Wang He was accompanied by several local officials, wearing civilian clothes, and sat on a bamboo chair next to him to watch the chess. Wang He saw that although Li Ruchuan was arrogant and indifferent, he regarded himself as a national player, and had the meaning of being the first in the world, and he was really powerful in chess, he did not meet opponents, and he was domineering, and he knew that he had inadvertently invited this master chess master, and he would definitely make his official fortune prosperous and prosperous in the future.

At this time, when Lu Wenyi saw that Li Ruchuan was sitting next to no one, he didn't pay attention to himself, obviously being snubbed, and said with some annoyance: "Playing chess, when the three masters of chess today dare not do it, and Mr. Daming, I have never heard of it, and I have never heard of it, is it to grandstand by making this move?" Li Ruchuan glanced at Lu Wenyi and said coldly: "Don't talk nonsense, if Your Excellency has the ability, you can talk about it." A pair of cold triangular eyes suddenly burst out with a few points of cold air. When Lu Wenyi saw it, his heart froze, and he was already timid, so he arched his hand and said: "Lu Wenyi in Xiajingzhou, come to ask Mr. for advice." Li Ruchuan said coldly: "If you have the ability to go to the stage to play chess, you will go first." That Lu Wenyi was suppressed by Li Ruchuan's cold and domineering momentum, and no longer mentioned the matter of letting the first three sons, relying on his own chess strength, he wanted to thwart the other party, so he arranged the layout and responded first. Li Ruchuan responded calmly, and a game of chess was already on. At this time, the audience was silent, watching quietly, most of the people came to see this kind of unlively liveliness, and they all wanted to know that the prize money of one thousand taels of silver could be taken away by the master in the end.

Although Fang Guohuan squeezed to the front of the crowd, he was too far away from the chess table on the stage, and the chess moves of the two sides could not be seen very clearly, so he had to wait patiently for the result. After dozens of chess moves between the two sides, Lu Wenyi became a little irritable, and he looked surprised. And Li Ruchuan was sitting in a precarious position, with an expressionless face, Lu Wenyi thought for a long time before he could take a step out of chess, and Li Ruchuan dealt with it casually without bothering. Seeing this, Fang Guochuan was surprised in his heart: "This Li Ruchuan is very calm, he is really a master in chess, I am fortunate to meet him this time, and I can't miss the opportunity to ask for advice." When the chess reached the middle game, Lu Wenyi's chess strength seemed to be exhausted, and there was no way out, he stared at the chessboard with a stunned expression for a while, and then threw himself in defeat, shook his head and exclaimed: "Mr. is a master!" Such a big means should be ...... Be the best in the world! "I'm very impressed. Then, Lu Wenyi got up and wanted to leave, when he suddenly heard Li Ruchuan sneer: "Your Excellency's chess strength is extraordinary, and you have survived dozens of eyes, do you want a reward?" When Lu Wenyi heard this, his face was full of shame, he hid his face with long sleeves, jumped off the stage, separated the crowd, and went in a panic. The crowd immediately burst into exclamations, and Wang He, who was watching, nodded, becoming more and more proud.

Fang Guochuan in the audience was surprised in his heart: "That Lu Wenyi's chess strength does not seem to be weak, but he was defeated like this, it can be seen that this Li Ruchuan in this game of chess, although he has not reached the level of 'all-in-one, leaving no son', he is also surprisingly arrogant, and it is rare in the world." "I was convinced in my heart, and I was already aroused. At this time, seeing that there was a servant on the stage who accepted the chess pieces on the chess table, Li Ruchuan wanted to get up and leave, Fang Guochuan didn't have time to think about it, walked out of the crowd, came to the stage and arched his hand and said: "Mr. Li, please stay, the junior Fang Guochuan came to ask for advice." The crowd of onlookers was surprised when they saw that it was a teenager who appeared in chess. Li Ruchuan was stunned when he heard this, and when he turned around to look, he saw that it was a handsome young man, and he couldn't help but be surprised: "What? Does the little boy also know chess? Fang Guohuan said respectfully: "The younger generation is not talented, since childhood into the chess road, now see the predecessors of the chess profound, good opportunities are rare, so boldly chess, but also hope that the predecessors to teach." "Huh?" When Li Ruchuan heard this, he was taken aback, and when he saw Fang Guolian's extraordinary words, he was a little surprised, and looked Fang Guochuan up and down, seeing that Fang Guolian's heart was furious, because he saw that this person's eyes were cold and sharp, and he was unpredictable. After a while, Li Ruchuan nodded, and said coldly: "There is no distinction between young and old in chess, since the little boy dares to go on stage to play chess, he should have extraordinary ability, maybe he is a prodigy national player." The old man will remember that you are young, and make an exception to let you be the first of the nine stars, but if you can occupy the land of a hundred sons, you will win, and take away the prize money of 1,000 taels of silver, so as not to let the old man fall into the suspicion of bullying. There is disdain in the words. As soon as these words came out, the crowd moved, and some people who knew chess couldn't help but admire: "As long as this little brother has a few percent of his chess strength, let the first nine sons really take advantage of it." At this time, a young monk crowded to the front of the crowd, and was surprised to see a young man on the stage to play chess, so he watched from the sidelines.

Seeing that Li Ruchuan was so cold and arrogant and contemptuous of others, Fang Guolian's previous respect had diminished a lot, and it was also due to the nature of the chess player, so he shook his head at this time and said: "The younger generation is not talented, but he is also unwilling to give up chess with others. Mr. chess is rare, only by playing the opponent's chess, can you appreciate the style of Mr. chess masters, and benefit from chess, please also ask Mr. to give advice. "Huh?" Li Ruchuan was shocked when he heard this, and said secretly: "This kid has a big tone, maybe he has some background, but he doesn't know the depths, and he doesn't know what to do." His expression was already displeased, he snorted, and sneered: "The little boy also has some courage, so let's just take a game of opponent chess, let the old man learn your skills, go first." Fang Guolian sat down at the chess table. Fang Guochuan saw that Li Ruchuan had the intention of despising himself, and knew that he could only talk to him in chess, so he was calm in his heart, and said "concede", but he was also polite, holding a black child, and habitually falling Tianyuan.

Li Ruchuan suddenly saw Fang Guozhuan opening Zi Tianyuan, his expression changed suddenly, his eyes were fierce, and the murderous intent suddenly appeared, and he couldn't help but raise his left palm. Seeing Fang Guolian's innocent and focused expression, he squinted at the crowd of bystanders again, and Li Ruchuan's raised palm slowly lowered it again. Fang Guolian's move to start Tianyuan made the Zhishan monk of Fenglin Thatched Cottage misunderstood, and it was also Fang Guolian's rare encounter with opponents since he entered the chess path, and he relied on his high chess strength, resulting in a kind of preemptive momentum, and there was no intention of taking people lightly. There are people in the crowd who know how to play chess, and they can see the starting trend of the chess table here, and see the young man who took the stage to play chess, not only did not take advantage of the handicap chess, but also took the "deceptive" move at the beginning, and they were stunned. The young monk was also stunned in his heart, and secretly said: "Start to take the general trend of Tianyuan, this young man's chess must have extraordinary ability, unless he wins the chess master in the ring, otherwise there will be more than one luck, but ......" The monk suddenly said in his heart: "Even if you win this person, this young man may also have to worry about his life." Obviously, he found out that Li Ruchuan was provoked by Fang Guolian's son Tianyuan.

Li Ruchuan saw that although Fang Guochuan opened Tianyuan, he did not mean to tease people, he was even more surprised in his heart, and then said fiercely in secret: "The kid doesn't know whether he lives or dies, he is disrespectful to the old man, and he is so crazy in chess, is it not possible to be as good as the old man?" If you really have some ability, you will not survive today. The old man has been practicing chess outside the world for decades, and this time he came out to make the world famous with chess, and the chess shocked the world, how could you let this stinky boy play tricks. Let's try your chess skills. Thinking of this, Li Ruchuan raised his hand to lay a son in the lower left star position, and Fang Guochuan casually responded to the upper right star position. Li Ruchuan responded to the two-handed chess and walked into the "triple star" layout, and Fang Guochuan should be in the lower right "small eye" and "three and nine" road positions. Seeing this, Li Ruchuan didn't care, and went up and down the stars at the same point, while Fang Guochuan dismantled two from the top right and three from the bottom right. Both of them are in the general trend, and the chess game has already gone away. After the thirty-six moves of chess on both sides, Fang Guochuan has felt the unprecedented difficulty, although the cloth on the chessboard is sparse, but the opponent's white chess has taken advantage of the overall situation, and his own hand is not as smooth as before, he has regretted the carelessness of Kaizi Tianyuan, underestimated the opponent's chess strength, and was very cautious in dealing with the pieces. After fifty chess moves, Li Ruchuan was secretly surprised, and only then did he know that this young man was really extraordinary, not as vulgar as he had met before, and he couldn't arouse his own interest, so he restrained his expression and single-mindedly played against each other. Although the monk in front of the crowd was far away from the chess table, this person had extremely strong eyesight, and he actually saw the chess positions of both sides on the chess table clearly, and secretly exclaimed: "The two of them have a high chess strength, and they are a pair of chess opponents that are rarely met today, and such a chess game of master is rare." Li Ruchuan and Fang Guochuan were already fully focused on coping at this time, and the crowd in the audience watched with bated breath, but listening to the crisp and loud sound when the chess pieces fell, the "pop" rang out......

Li Ruchuan saw that although Fang Guochuan was a teenager, he was the highest person he had met in chess since he came out of the mountain for a few months, and he was surprised, but he was also happy that he could meet his opponent in chess, and thought: "This kid's chess strength is really not weak, and his young age has almost caught up with my ......decades of cultivation" Li Ruchuan suddenly felt a chill in his heart at this time, and a strange feeling flashed in his mind, and then he thought about it: "Although he is sure to beat him in this game of chess, he is also very hard, and he is looking for a subtle place to try him to see if he is ......" Thinking of this, Li Ruchuan looked for an opportunity to deliberately make a move to slow down his move. At this time, Fang Guochuan saw that the opponent's chess move was wonderful, and he elbowed himself everywhere, so that his chess momentum could not be expanded, and he felt that Li Ruchuan's chess strength was so high that it was really difficult to deal with. When he was in a predicament, he suddenly saw that the other party had a slow hand, Fang Guohuan was overjoyed in his heart, and he was busy with a son, and suppressed one of the other party's "big dragons", which gave him a slight advantage and gave him a glimmer of life. Seeing this, Li Ruchuan was shocked in his heart, and said in shock: "This chess hand is extremely delicate, non-top chess masters can't see it, this kid is really so powerful?" If I have this potential in chess, my future cultivation will be far better than mine, and if I am a strong opponent in chess, won't decades of hard work be wasted? Li Ruchuan was annoyed in his heart, and the murderous opportunity reappeared, but this person was very deep in the city, although he had a murderous intention, but the murderous light flashed away in his eyes, and he continued to play quietly. However, this subtle change in Li Ruchuan was captured by the monk who was watching, and his brows furrowed, and he looked uneasy.

Although Li Ruchuan took a slow move and was taken advantage of by Fang Guohuan to have a slight advantage, after several moves, Li Ruchuan made a wonderful move and still controlled the situation. As a result, at the end of the game, Li Ruchuan led the six sons to win Fang Guolian, but Li Ruchuan already felt that his chess strength seemed to reach the end of a strong crossbow, and the other party had a great increase in momentum. Fang Guochuan exerted all his strength in this game of chess, although he had the advantage of seizing the slow hand, but there was a mistake in the beginning of Tianyuan, so that he lost six sons, but he lost happily, admired, got up and gave Li Ruchuan a deep salute, and said respectfully: "The seniors' chess strength is unfathomable, they can be called national players, and the younger generations have the honor to ask for advice, although they are still honored, they have benefited a lot." That Li Ruchuan sat there calmly, his face became more and more gloomy, his eyes staring at Fang Guolian, and the cold aura of murder was evident in his heart. Seeing this, Fang Guolian's heart froze, and he suddenly had an ominous premonition, knowing that he needed to leave here immediately, he hurriedly saluted Li Ruchuan and said: "The seniors are invincible in chess, and the juniors are ashamed of themselves. After speaking, Fang Guohuan turned around and jumped off the stage, separating the crowd and hurrying away. The crowd of onlookers saw that Fang Guolian was defeated and left, and immediately discussed. An old man sneered: "The children can't tell the difference, and after learning a few moves of chess, they dare to come to Mr. Li and other masters to compete, and they don't know how thick the sky is." The other person looked at the delicate chess moves on the table, and said in confusion: "This kid is playing chess well, it seems that he has survived a large piece of land, and he should be rewarded, so how can he leave?" At this time, Li Ruchuan sat at the chess table, as if he had lost a chess, his face was pale, and his gloom became more and more terrifying.

Fang Guohuan left the Tielong Temple all the way and hurried, returned to the inn to get the package and horses, and galloped out of Fengtai City. After galloping for a while, Fang Guochuan collected his horse and walked slowly, seeing that there was nothing different behind him, his heart was a little calm, he shook his head and sighed: "This Li Ruchuan's chess strength is unfathomable, he is really a rare chess master, but I don't know why there is murder in his eyes, and he seems to have great hostility." Fang Guochuan thought hard for a long time, and he didn't know where he annoyed Li Ruchuan, thinking of Li Ruchuan's cold and vicious eyes, he was shocked. Fang Guochuan drove the horse forward again, because of the nervousness just now, the people and horses were tired, so they found a forest and rested temporarily. Recalling that Shicai was on stage in Fengtai City, Fang Guochuan sighed and said: "It's a blessing to meet such a master in chess, but it's just a pity that this person has a gloomy and strange expression, and it is a pity that he can't be friends with him." He shook his head, sighing, as if he had lost something.

Fang Guochuan rested for a moment, and wanted to get up and continue to hurry, but suddenly felt that there was a person standing in front of him, and when he looked up, his face changed greatly, and Li Ruchuan didn't know when he was standing in front of him, let alone how to catch up. Li Ruchuan put his hands down at this time, his face was gloomy, and he said coldly: "You ran so fast, the old man almost couldn't catch up." Fang Guohuan gasped, the chill was in vain, knowing that today was more auspicious, he already regretted playing chess, and had an accident for no reason, he stabilized his mind at the moment, got up and saluted: "The junior Fang Guohuan has seen the seniors, I don't know why the seniors are in a hurry?" Li Ruchuan looked at Fang Guochuan, shook his head and sighed coldly: "Since God gave birth to me Li Ruchuan, why bother to give you another Fang Guochuan?" As soon as the words came out, the murderous light appeared, and its murderous intention was clear. Fang Guohuan was shocked and said: "The seniors are invincible in chess, rare in the world, and the juniors are not opponents. Li Ruchuan said with a sneer: "The old man has been practicing chess for decades in seclusion, just so that one day he can be the best in the world with chess. Don't blame the old man for being ruthless, I really don't want to see you compete with the old man for fame in chess in the future, and if you go to your heart disease, the old man can feel at ease. As he spoke, he slowly pressed forward. Only then did Fang Guochuan fully understand that Li Ruchuan was afraid that his chess skills would surpass him in the future, so he became jealous and had the idea of killing. Although Fang Guohuan was in danger, he calmed down at this time, and said angrily while retreating: "Chess Ben Yayi, winning or losing is a common thing, is it impossible to kill people because of the battle between high and low?" Li Ruchuan, you are a person in the chess road in vain, and you have insulted the ...... of this kind of elegant art. Before he finished speaking, Fang Guohuan leaned against a tree as he retreated. Li Ruchuan saw that Fang Guochuan had no way to retreat, and said with a hideous smile: "It's no wonder that the old man is today, it seems that God doesn't want to make you a genius." As he spoke, his body leaned forward, his hand was like a hook, and he stretched out his ten fingers to grab Fang Guolian's throat.

At the critical moment when Fang Guochuan was about to be poisoned by Li Ruchuan, he suddenly heard someone announce a Buddha horn: "Amitabha! The donor dares to kill people in the daytime! Li Ruchuan casually felt that something was attacking behind him, and in a startled, he hurriedly gave up Fang Guochuan and jumped to the side. When I looked again, there was a monk standing a few meters away, and this person was the monk who was watching chess in the crowd of Tielong Temple. Li Ruchuan's heart was cold at this time, when there was an extra person behind him, he didn't even notice it, and immediately protected his predecessor with both palms, and said, "Monk, do you want to die too?" The monk shook his head and said, "Heaven has the virtue of a good life, but how can you find your own reason to die?" Winning and losing in chess is a common thing, why does Li Shizhu take it so seriously that he kills people? Li Ruchuan said coldly: "So what? The monk said: "There are people outside the world, there is heaven outside the sky, and there are people who become opponents with Li Shizhu and want to kill them, I am afraid that Li Shizhu will not be able to kill them in this life." Li Ruchuan was still on guard and said: "That's not necessarily, how much ability the old man has, he knows that in the future, except for this kid who can compete with the old man in chess, no one in the world is the opponent of the old man." When the monk heard this, he shook his head and said: "Master Li's chess skills are high, but it is difficult to find them today, but as far as the poor monk knows, there are at least five famous chess masters who can be equal to Master Li Shi, and this little donor is the only one who can become an opponent with you in the future." Li Ruchuan was shocked when he heard this, and then shook his head and said: "Although the old man has lived outside the world for a long time, he has practiced chess and martial arts for many years, and he is confident that he can compete for the first place in the world in chess." Don't bluff me, you monk, but you just want to save this kid's life, since you are nosy, and you will be killed together. As he spoke, he suddenly slapped his palm. The monk saw that Li Ruchuan was in a hurry, and knew that he was a master of inner cultivation, so he was surprised, and avoided his body, and then exchanged more than a dozen moves with Li Ruchuan. When the wind was stirring in the open space, the dust and grass were flying, and Fang Guolian was stunned.

At this time, Li Ruchuan and the monk suddenly jumped backwards, the monk stabilized his figure, shook his head and said: "Master Li Shi originally had two great masters of martial arts and chess, and he was a rare master in the world, but why is his mind so narrow, and he doesn't let go of even a young man?" As he spoke, he still looked calm. Li Ruchuan looked at the monk in horror at this time, he couldn't speak, suddenly his legs were weak, and he knelt on the ground, and then saw cold sweat oozing from his forehead, and his face was painful, and he was already restrained. The monk shook his head and sighed: "It's a pity that Master Li has a good kung fu, in order not to kill people out of jealousy in the future, the poor monk has abolished your skills, I hope Master Li Shi will remember this lesson and repent and reform himself." After speaking, he smiled at Fang Guolian, who was already stunned on the side, and said, "Little donor, is it okay?" Fang Guohuan came back to his senses, knowing that he had been rescued by a master, and hurriedly stepped forward to worship: "Thank you master for saving your life." The monk helped: "Don't be polite to the little donor, the poor monk has no law, because he saw that Li Ruchuan had a bad heart next to the chess game in the Tielong Temple, and he was afraid that it would be unfavorable to the little donor, so he followed." The chess path is elegant, and it is also necessary to choose people to play. Fang Guohuan said gratefully: "Fortunately, the master rescued me in time, otherwise I would have been killed by this person." "I have palpitations. Monk Fa Wu smiled and said, "It's rare for a little donor to be killed because of chess. It is inconvenient to stay here for a long time, and talk to the poor monk in front of him. Fang Guochuan glanced at Li Ruchuan, who was paralyzed on the ground, and asked, "I don't know how the master will deal with him?" Fa Wudao: "This person's chess strength is so high, it is also rare, his martial arts have been abolished by the poor monk, and leave him a life to repent, he can be relieved after an hour, don't care about him." ”

Monk Fa Wu led Fang Guochuan all the way forward, Fang Guochuan praised: "Escaping this catastrophe today, the master has the grace of recreation, I didn't expect the master to be able to restrain Li Ruchuan, it's really good kung fu!" Fa Wu said with a smile: "Some self-defense skills, but the little donor has superb chess skills, dares to play chess, and provokes Li Ruchuan to be jealous in chess, which is really admired by the poor monk." By the way, the little donor seems to be traveling alone, and he doesn't know where he wants to go? Fang Guojian said: "Thanks to the guidance of a friend, I went to visit Tianyuan Temple in Lianyun Mountain. Monk Fa Wu was stunned when he heard this, and hurriedly asked: "I don't know what the little benefactor is doing to visit Tianyuan Temple?" Fang Guojian said: "I heard that Tianyuan Temple is full of chess masters, I came thousands of miles away this time, in order to worship the masters in the temple as teachers and practice chess." "I see!" Monk Fa Wu was slightly surprised when he heard this, and then shook his head and said, "But as far as the poor monk knows, Tianyuan Temple is hidden in Lianyun Mountain, avoiding the world, and the people in the temple rarely come into contact with the world, and rarely pay attention to the people in the world. When Fang Guochuan heard this, he said with a hurried expression: "I came this time, hoping to get the advice of the master and make great achievements in chess." If Tianyuan Temple doesn't take me in, there is no other place in the world, how can this be good? Suffering for a while, Fang Guohuan couldn't help but shed tears. When the monk saw it, he said in his heart: "This person is talented and intelligent, and he is a young chess player, so he may be able to win the master's will." Then he said to Fang Guolian: "The little donor doesn't have to be too anxious, the poor monk might as well lead you to meet someone first, if you are lucky, you may be able to get your own wishes." Fang Guolian was overjoyed when he heard this: "I don't know who the master is?" Fa Wudao: "It is the master of the poor monk, his old man has a great relationship with Tianyuan Temple, if you fall in love with the little benefactor, it is not difficult to introduce you to Tianyuan Temple." When Fang Guochuan heard this, he was pleasantly surprised: "I don't know where this senior is now?" Fa Wudao: "The poor monk and the master happened to travel here, and his old man was resting not far ahead. Little donor and remember, this time to see the master, the master may want to try your hand at chess, you have to do your best. If you don't like it, don't go to the little benefactor of Tianyuan Temple, it's futile to go, this time it depends on your luck. When Fang Guochuan heard this, he knew that the master of Fa Wu Monk must be a master in chess, and when he was excited, he couldn't help but straighten his sleeves a little and saluted Fa Wu Shen: "Master is so gracious, I don't know when I will be able to repay him!" Fa Wu hurriedly clasped his palms and said: "The little donor is serious, the poor monk is just following the duty of the good way." ”

As he spoke, Monk Fa Wu had already led Fang Guolian onto the road, and after walking for about half an hour, he turned down the road and came to a deserted ancient temple. Monk Fa Wu said: "Master is temporarily resting here, I have been waiting for me for a long time, let's go in." The two entered the temple gate and came to the only remaining hall in the temple. But I saw an old monk sitting at the bottom of a Buddha statue, wrapped in a yellow monk's robe, with a white beard on his face, containing **, and was staring at a chess game drawn with silk cloth into a chessboard in front of him. Fa Wu stepped forward lightly at this time and said in a low voice, "Master, the disciple brought someone here, maybe the master is looking for him." "Oh?" The old monk looked up and replied, "Where is this person?" Fang Guohuan hurriedly stepped forward and saluted: "The junior Fang Guohuan has seen the master. When the old monk saw Fang Guolian, his heart couldn't help but move, and he secretly praised: "What a beautiful child!" Then he nodded and said, "Old man Kuyuan, the little donor is sitting." Fa Wu said again: "The disciple saw a rare game in the chess game in the Tielong Temple in Fengtai City today, and the game was played against two masters who were almost equal to each other, and one of them was this Fang Xiao benefactor. The disciple saw that Fang Xiao's benefactor was young and high, and he might be able to get the master's intention, so he brought him here. "Monk Fa Wu somehow didn't say a word about abolishing Li Ruchuan's martial arts to save Fang Guolian's life, as if it hadn't happened.

When Master Kuyuan heard this, he was slightly surprised and said: "The little donor can be valued by my disciples, it is not ordinary. Stretching out his hand and pointing to the chess game in front of him, the other party said: "This is a life-and-death endgame between Qi Xiangguan Zhong and King Qi in the Spring and Autumn Period, I don't know if Fang Xiao's benefactor can solve it?" Fang Guohuan knew that the other party was testing his chess skills, so he stepped forward to watch. A moment later, Fang Guochuan held a white piece and landed it on the chessboard. Fa Wu saw it, and nodded secretly. Master Ku Yuan didn't think so, but said: "The little donor's chess strength is really not bad. After speaking, he collected all the chess pieces on the chessboard, then counted ten black chess pieces, put them in front of Fang Guohuan and said, "How about asking the little donor and the old man to each pair ten sons?" Fang Guojian couldn't help but feel a little nervous when he heard this.
