With nothing to do, Li Jingsi played chess alone in the courtyard.

The little scholar Qiudong had lunch with the eagle warrior Zhao Gan, and he didn't know where to wander for a long time, maybe he was fishing by the river in the east of the village, or maybe he followed Uncle Li to the mountains to chop wood.

Li Jingsi couldn't control them, and he didn't bother to care about them.

Since the eagle head Xu Cheng lived in Ergou's house, his temper has been much gentler, and he even helped Aunt Li sweep the yard.

At first, when the Li couple saw a few distinguished guests coming to their house, they were sincerely terrified, for fear of neglecting a few distinguished guests.

But then, the husband and wife found that they didn't have a shelf at all, they were easy to get along with, and they never disliked their own coarse tea and light rice, so they felt a lot more at ease.

After lunch, Aunt Li saw that Master Li, who had the same surname as her husband, was playing chess in the courtyard, so she didn't dare to disturb, so she went out with a bamboo basket.

In a poor and remote place like theirs, fruits, melons and vegetables are generally self-sufficient, and few people go to towns dozens of miles away to buy them.

Even a few villagers with very wealthy families rarely go to the town to buy vegetables, but give some money to the villagers and go to the fields to pick them themselves.

Ergou's family also planted half an acre of vegetables, and now they are just ripe, so Aunt Li thought about going to the field to pick some more and come back, and cook a hearty meal for them in the evening.

Xu Cheng finished cleaning the yard and sat opposite Li Jingsi.

On a hot summer day, fortunately, there is a grape trellis overhead to provide shade.

"Master Li, what kind of chess are you playing? It doesn't seem to be Go. ”

Xu Cheng had already discovered that there were only blacks on the chessboard, but no whites, and he couldn't help but be a little curious.

Li Jingsi said slowly: "The chess on the chessboard is too rigid, and going down is nothing more than some inherent formulas. Chess outside the chessboard is interesting to play. ”

The more Xu Cheng listened, the more confused he became, and he opened his mouth, but he didn't know what to say.

He couldn't help but smile bitterly in his heart: Master Li, I can't take what you say.

Fortunately, Li Jingsi changed the topic elsewhere and asked, "What news is there from Zhenlong Mountain recently?"

After entering Yunzhong County, Xu Cheng secretly transferred more than a dozen eagles from the Spirit Vein Realm to monitor the situation in Zhenlong Mountain and its surroundings day and night.

He had indeed received a very important piece of news just now, so he replied, "Wei Huan, the sect master of the Extreme Bliss Sect, has died, and it is said that he was killed by a Yuanying Realm monk who had been dormant here for many years. ”

"Heh, as I expected, since Old Sword Immortal Chen ascended, some old Wang Ba, who had been dormant for a long time, began to sit still, and they all wanted to come to Zhenlongshan to make some cheap. ”

Li Jingsi smiled, took a chess piece out of the chessboard, and put it into the jade jar on the stone table.

Xu Cheng glanced at the jade jar that was as black as ink, and found that it was full of spiritual energy, and it was a good container for warming chess pieces.

It's just that his mind is not on the jade jar, but on the chess piece that has just been taken down by Li Jingsi.

Only then did he understand what Li Jingsi meant when he said, 'Chess outside the chessboard is interesting to play'.

It turned out that Wei Huan and several other waves of people who went to Zhenlong Mountain were all chess pieces outside Li Jingsi's chessboard.

"Any other news?" asked Li Jingsi.

Xu Cheng pondered for a moment and continued: "After that Yuanying Realm cultivator killed Wei Huan, he used Wei Huan's disciple as a bridge and entered the Mountain Protection Array of the God Slaughter Sect. ”

"However, that Yuanying Realm monk was killed by Chongyang, the great demon who had been famous for a long time. ”

Li Jingsi frowned and asked, "Chongyang, is that the sword immortal who destroyed the two demon sects by himself?"

"That's right, it's him. ”

"I heard that this sword immortal has always been erratic, why did he suddenly appear in Zhenlong Mountain this time? Could it be that he wants to take advantage of Chen Da Sword Immortal's ascension and destroy the first demon sect of the Northern Confucian Kingdom in one go?"

Xu Cheng's expression was a little strange, and he coughed lightly and replied: "Uh, Lord Li, this Chongyang Sword Immortal is the apprentice of Chen Da Sword Immortal, he rushed back to Zhenlong Mountain this time, not to destroy the God Slaughter Sect, but to protect the God Slaughter Sect." ”

Li Jingsi gasped.

This powerful character who suddenly appeared seemed to disrupt some of his plans.

However, the situation is quite controllable, no matter whether the God Slaughter Sect is destroyed or survived, it will not affect the final result.

Li Jingsi was silent for a moment, then pinched out a white child from another jade jar as white as mutton fat, and pressed it on the chessboard with a 'snap'.

White is surrounded by blacks.

He looked at the situation on the chessboard and muttered to himself, "That's how it's fun." ”

————

Zhenlong Mountain, Huangque Peak.

Chongyang made a fishing rod with his bare hands and sat on the edge of a stream to fish leisurely.

I just sat dry for a long time, but I didn't see the fish take the bait.

To be honest, there are not a few fish in the stream, and there are even several large and fat fish around the rods.

But Chongyang can't catch any fish, which is a bit too unreasonable.

Behind him, a woman who had been standing for an unknown amount of time covered her mouth and said with a smile: "Childe, you have to be sincere when fishing, let alone the fishing hook, you don't even have a fishing line tied, how to get the fish to take the bait? Could it be that you want the fish to jump to the shore by themselves? This is good, saving Childe a lot of effort." ”

This woman is not human, but she is not a ghost, so Chongyang has a good impression of her.

He turned around and smiled slightly, and replied, "Let Sister Huangque laugh, in fact, Chongyang is sitting here, not fishing for fish in the stream." ”

It's fishing for a yellow finch.

It's just the second half of the sentence, Chongyang didn't say it, otherwise he would definitely die a miserable death.

This is not an exaggeration, offending this fairy sister, he will really die.

The woman named Huang Que blushed slightly and said, "Hmph, I think you are just idle and panicked, so you came here to waste your time." ”

Chongyang smiled and said, "Chatting with Sister Huangque, Chongyang is extremely happy, how can it be a waste of time?"

Huang Que snorted coldly, "Say, what is the matter with coming to me this time?"

Chongyang was also interested, so he didn't continue to go around the bend with her, and said straight to the point: "Some time ago, I visited the famous mountains and rivers of Northern Confucianism with a master of Taoism, and by the way, I won a peachwood sword from him. But he didn't think about it, the master and his old man suddenly broke through the barrier and soared, so he hurried back to help the junior brother sit in the sect, so as not to be bullied by those shameless guys. ”

"It's just...... I was in too much of a hurry along the way, and I didn't have time to find out how many shameless guys wanted to come to Zhenlongshan to take advantage, so I wanted Sister Huang Que to tell me one or two. ”

Huang Que sneered: "Heh, how did I hear that someone was nosy on the border of Yunzhong County and helped a pretty widow named Xiu'er solve a lot of troubles?"

Chongyang looked embarrassed, and quickly changed the topic: "Sister Huangque, look at this stream, it is long and wide, just like a fish in the water, big and round. ”
