Chapter 41: Shi Lao's Apprentice - Helian An
"It's easy, and so will I. After hearing Lan Jun's explanation, the old man shouted, isn't it just a connection, this is much simpler than Go, "Lao Shi, you get out of the way, I'll come first." Come, apprentice, let's go down. ”
Shi Lao gave up his position with a smile.
Compared with Go, backgammon is short and precise, and it tests a person's reflexes and concentration more.
Jiu Lao's face was slightly bad, but on the other side was his apprentice, he couldn't beat or scold, but he couldn't let himself make a fool of himself, "Lao Shi, you come." ”
For this old man who has been immersed in chess for many years, playing chess naturally has endless fun, and it can best explore a person's heart, especially this new chess technique.
This game went on for a long time, although in the end Shi Lao still lost.
"Come again. Shi Lao said unsatisfactorily, only when you actually play will you experience the fun here, a kind of fun that is completely different from playing Go.
Feng Lanjun refused with a smile, "If there is a chance in the future, I will definitely fight with my predecessors in the chess game." ”
Feng Lanjun looked at the sun that was slanting to the west, the sky was full of red clouds, and with this emerald green bamboo, it made people feel relaxed and happy at a glance.
But no matter how beautiful the scenery is, she can't stay at this time.
She is destined to run on the road, destined to be non-stop, and only by moving forward can she know the way to go.
"It's time to say goodbye to the two seniors. ”
"What? You're leaving? I won't. The old man immediately jumped to his feet, the apprentice he finally recognized, although she didn't agree, but since he wanted to admit it, how could she not agree. He hasn't taught her anything, she wants to leave, how can it be done, run away, who is he looking for to cry, besides, she is still injured, although it makes him unbelievably good a little fast, besides, she is still a girl, to be pampered.
"I've decided. ”
"No, I don't agree. Seeing that Feng Lanjun didn't seem to want to pay attention to him anymore, the old man said slowly and boldly, "That... Then you call me Master Sheng, and I will send you down the mountain. ”
"I can find my way. ”
"That's not going to work either. If you don't call, if you don't call, you won't let you go..."The old wine chattered, made up his mind, and kept talking.
"Old man wine" Feng Lanjun shouted in a slightly cold tone, directly interrupting the old man's ramblings, "I forgot one thing. After Feng Lanjun finished speaking, he directly removed the mask on his face.
Feng Lanjun wore a human skin mask, how could this matter escape Jiuhe and Shi Tianxing, two people who have been wandering the rivers and lakes for so many years, but as elders, they naturally did not want to reveal it while she was unconscious, as for everyone to have secrets after that.
"It's you who stink...", the word 'girl' who wanted to be exported was suffocated back by the wine river, and he had to find it in the hinterland, the stinky girl who caused her whole body to turn green and lose face in front of her old friends was actually the apprentice in front of him who he wanted to recognize in every possible way, how could he not be a little depressed.
"Do you want to recognize me as an apprentice?"
"That's," said the words, how could they be taken back.
"However, I don't want to recognize you as a teacher. ”
"Why?"
"I owe you my life, farewell. Feng Lanjun simply waved his sleeves neatly and left.
"Wait a minute, you stop me, I..."
"Old wine," Shi Tianxing finally spoke, stopping the wine river that was about to be chased.
"What, I don't have time now, I'm going to chase my apprentice. ”
"If you chase you now, she will definitely be more reluctant to recognize you. ”
Jiuhe paused, "Why?"
"Feng Lanjun, this girl is really good, although it is a little cold, but she is a hearted one. ”
"Yes, my apprentice is good anywhere. Then you still prevent me from going to my apprentice. ”
"You, you haven't heard the rumors about this girl, the things she has to face are not simple, she doesn't recognize you in order not to pull you into the quagmire. From the past few days of getting along, it can be seen that she is an indifferent person, and the path she takes must be the Shura Road. ”
"Then I'm going to go even more, even you said that she was so cold, and she didn't recognize me now, won't she even more dismiss me in the future. ”
Shi Tianxing smiled incomprehensibly, "That's not necessarily, she's still different to you." ”
"Oh, what do you say?"
"Didn't you carry her healing elixir in your arms? ”
"Well, that's reasonable," Jiuhe took out the previous medicine bottle from his arms, as if he suddenly remembered something, and exclaimed, "This medicine can't be practiced by my apprentice himself, I heard that she cured the daughter of the owner of Baiyun Mountain Villa." ”
"You're an apprentice, it's really not simple. Shi Tianxing's attention returned to the chessboard.
"Hahaha, envy, tell you, it's useless for you to envy, go to your apprentice. ”
Shi Tianxing shook his head helplessly.
"What made Uncle Sommelier smile so happily, did Master Wine get the good wine from?" With a clear voice, a young man in an ice blue brocade robe walked in from outside, but seeing that this person was like a green bamboo, with eyes like stars, and a dignified appearance, giving people a gentle and elegant attitude.
"Hey, I really mean who is coming, Xiao An, come on, your master is looking for you. By the way, Xiao An, you just came, did you see my apprentice?"
"When did Uncle Sommelier have an apprentice?"
"It's been a few days, how Zhou, no. ”
"Absolutely. ”
"Anyway, do you see it? ”
"Uncle Sommelier, I didn't see anyone else when I came, and besides, I didn't know him even when I did, and you didn't tell me his name. ”
"That's right, forget it, I'm looking for my apprentice, and I'll find it. After saying this, the old man didn't pay attention to Helian'an, and went back to the room directly, first finding a place to hide the medicine bottle given by the apprentice.
Helian An, who was already familiar with the habit of old wine, was not surprised by this, and he would be surprised if the old wine did not do this one day.
Helian habitually sat opposite his master, in this bamboo house, where he sat most often, who told him that his master loved to play chess, and only he would come here often.
Helian An pinched a black piece, looked at the broken chess pieces on the table, for the first time his always smiling face was obviously stunned, and the hand holding the chess piece was also frozen in mid-air, "Master, why is your chess more and more stinky the more you play." ”
I don't know if Helian An's expression pleased Shi Lao, but he didn't care about his apprentice's ridicule, but said a little proudly, "I don't understand, this is not Go, it's backgammon." ”
His apprentice is good at everything, knowledge, vision, and ability, it stands to reason that there is such an apprentice who is proud to be a master and it is worth it, but he does make him proud, but sometimes it is also annoying, you say that he has such a hobby of playing chess, he can win anyone, why didn't he win against his apprentice. No, he won, of course that was when he first started teaching him chess.
This apprentice is too sleepy, and he is so sad to be a master, and he is too smart, and he has to worry about being a master.
"Oh, Uncle Sommelier's apprentice taught you. ”
"How do you know?" Shi Lao looked at his apprentice as if he was really like this, and he was really helpless in his heart.
"Master, tell me the rules, and I'll accompany you. ”
"Good. ”
An hour later, Shi Lao said with a bad face, "What are you doing here?" If it's okay, go back and stay quickly, those formations I taught you will be all right?"
One hour, three games of chess, one and two losses, Shi Lao began to drive people away.
"Of course, I've come all the way to see your old man, Master. ”
"I've seen it, let's go. ”
"I won't go back for the time being, and after two more days with you, I'll go directly to Jizhong." ”
"Jizhong?"
"Yes, the leader of the martial arts alliance issued a call to gather the five major sects, it is said that it is to specifically eliminate the cult, hey, as one of the five major sects, we have to go there. ”
"Oh?" Shi Lao felt a trace of confusion in his heart, clearing the cult, now?!
Helian An's expression was slightly straightened, "Master, you don't often go down the mountain, maybe you haven't heard of it, several sects have been suddenly washed in blood recently, and the summoning order issued this time may be because of this." ”
"Who's responsible?"
"The letter only said that it was a cult, but did not specify it. ”
"This matter should not be so simple, this time, you have to be more careful. ”
"Hmm. ”
"By the way, what about Ah Xin?"
"I didn't tell him about it this time, Ah Xin still stayed in the sect safer. ”
"Well, if he can't stay in the sect, let him come here, the rivers and lakes have been too turbulent recently, and his childish temperament is still more stable for me to look at. ”
"I'll send a message back. ”
Helian An put the chess pieces back into the chess box, and suddenly asked, "By the way, Master, who is Uncle Winemaker's apprentice?
"It's not just you, I'm afraid even he didn't think that he would find such an apprentice. Shi Lao was a little amused when he thought that his old friend for many years would fall in love with Feng Lanjun, an apprentice with a very different personality from him, could it be that what he said must be the opposite?!
"You've definitely heard of this guy lately. ”
"Oh?" Helian was intrigued.
"Feng Lanjun. ”
"Qingcheng Feng Family?"
"Not bad. ”
Helian was so unexpected, but he had always wanted to meet this woman who had made a splash.
"By the way, there is another point, Feng Lanjun has not yet recognized your uncle. ”
"Oh, it turned out that Uncle Sommelier wanted to admit it. ”
"Don't tell him about this again, I won't be able to repay you as a teacher at that time. ”
"Master, don't worry, maybe Uncle Sommelier still needs my help. However, this apprentice of Uncle Shi, I really want to meet that. ”
"This girl is really good. ”
"There are really not many people in this world who can be praised by you, Master, so it is even more necessary for me to meet them. ”
Of course, in the eyes of every master, there is no doubt that his apprentice is always the best.
