Next Chapter

There are three mountains and twelve ridges in the hinterland of Da Yue Kingdom, each with its own magical legends, such as the towering Broken Sky Mountain, where it is rumored that there were heroes who shattered the void; Among the three mountains, there is a Changle Mountain, formerly known as the Immortal Mountain, because some people say that there is an immortal spring in the mountain, people can drink it to get immortality, later the generalissimo of the soldiers and horses of the Great Yue State Shen Tukong resigned and lived in seclusion here, this mountain was renamed the Broken Army Mountain, symbolizing the great military exploits of the Generalissimo, and for another three years, the Prime Minister of the Great Yue Kingdom Zhao Pu returned to hide here, because of the old Prime Minister Zhao Youyun: "Three meals are simple, clothes are often cotton, there is a place to live, and the people are happy, peace of mind", this mountain is called "Changle Mountain".

Said to be a retreat, the two elders are not not not eating the fireworks of the world, they build a academy here, teach civil and military affairs, dignitaries, royal relatives, country pawns, as long as the children of the family are indeed talented, the two adults are not refused, so, this Changle Mountain's academy, not only is not a cold place, but every day in front of the bustling, there are more market restaurants, in addition to no government office, this place is already a small street town, there are scholars who come and go, there are those who want to join the army for reimbursement, those who recommend themselves, those who vote for fame, every day is not lively.

There are teaching and training in the academy, both civil and military are superior candidates, some are not in the official career and are invited by the boss, and some are not famous in the literary name to come here to boil up the qualifications, in a word, the land of Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, maybe it seems that there is no real kung fu gun and stick teaching, it was once a fierce general who took the head of the general in the army. Even the old servant who was sweeping the door, maybe it was an ancestor-level figure of the martial arts sect, who thought of Changle Weng's old feelings and came to sweep the courtyard.

Marshal Shen Tukong and Prime Minister Zhao Lao did not actually live in the academy, they hid in the mountain behind the academy, taking the name of the head of the academy, and from time to time the academy showed their faces, encouraging the students, and promoting the younger generations, and there were still a few students in the academy who could really enter the back mountain.

The mountain behind the academy, the courtyard is quiet, the old pine is breezy and breezy, three or two big stones, and there are three people playing chess leisurely.

On one side are two old men with white hair, Ge clothes are fluttering, not angry and self-assured, and the burly man is Shen Tukong, with a cyan robe, a high crown and a belt, and a kind face is the old prime minister Zhao Pu. At this moment, the two of them did not change their faces, but secretly transmitted their voices.

"If you go down this step, you will lose at least three sons, but you have to admit defeat in the middle of the game!" Shen Tukong said unwillingly.

"That's not necessarily, your three apprentices went to the Fountain of Immortality to catch the ice carp, and they are about to come back, the ice carp is ventilated at three o'clock in the afternoon, and it melts when it sees the light, and it will die when you go ashore with a stick of incense, your three apprentices Fang Geng has practiced well, these dozens of miles, you should be able to catch half a pillar of incense and go back, you look at this day, it's fast, drag it first. Zhao Pu passed the sound and smiled and dropped a white piece on the chessboard.

On the opposite side, a fifteen or sixteen-year-old boy, dressed in white and plain robes, but a fairy spirit, as if he had never eaten the fireworks of the world, the face was handsome, his eyes were like stars, the corners of his mouth were upturned, and a black chess piece was sandwiched between his slender fingers, but that hand attracted people's attention, and the hand was holding the chess piece, and slowly sent it to the place where the white child had just fallen, leaning on the white child, and whispered to himself: "Here is a sticky son, and there are fifteen hands behind, one hundred and seventy-four changes, the teacher should lose five sons in the third hand, the eighth hand is full of destruction, and the fourteenth hand has no children to play." ”

The old prime minister who was smiling and stretching out his hand to twist his beard just now was stunned when he heard the words, looked down at the chessboard silently, unconsciously used his fingers, and "his---sed" A white whisker was torn off, and the old marshal was also full of redness, and just now he also lost three sons, and as a result, people ate two more sons within three steps, and the comparison of chess strength was simply miserable.

Zhao Pu endured the pain and transmitted: "Old man Shentu, didn't you win the Emperor Xiaoren of Chu in front of the 200,000 army, and let his army retreat?

"Fart, no matter how powerful Lao Tzu was back then, did you Zhao Lao Qi block all the chess edicts in the Chess Edict Pavilion of the Hanlin Academy for three days and three nights, and forced the first emperor to abolish the chess Dao Jinshi to act domineeringly?"

"Nonsense, think about it, if you lose this game, you will lose one hundred and eight consecutive mid-game losses, and we have made a bet!" Zhao Pu said angrily.

"This Fang Geng, why hasn't he come back, what kind of flying guest Fang Geng, it's just a turtle shell that is slow!"

"Two teachers, let's admit defeat. The boy rubbed his fingers and chuckled.

"Don't worry, Go is broad and profound, although the old man and the two can also be called masters of this way, but there is still a big gap from the peak realm. Zhao Pu seemed to be emotional, amiable, but he sent a message to Shen Tukong, "This time, I am afraid that Wuwuer is determined to leave, and it is estimated that all the back roads have been blocked by him, and I am afraid that it will not work if I don't give up and admit defeat." ”

"Of course, the teacher's chess strength is not the peak, but I have already been in the sky for a long time. The boy shook his hand gently.

"How many chess games have been played throughout the ages, and there are countless masters ----"

The young man raised his hand proudly, "I can see chess masters throughout the ages, but with one hand," he flipped his hand over and shook it hard, "It's not enough!"

Zhao Pu said dejectedly: "I know that you have mental abilities, but you can interpret the universe in the depths of your dream soul, but ----"

Shen Tukong raised his head, stared at the young man opposite with tiger eyes, and said in a deep voice: "Li Wuwu, are you really determined to go down the mountain?"

"Definitely. ”

"Are you really willing to give up these two old bones, we raised you with a handful of and a handful of urine!"

"When the teacher adopted me, although I forgot everything in the past, I had good self-care skills, and I never faked my daily life. ”

"Hey, the ice carp in the Fountain of Youth, the bearded badger in Changle Mountain, and the long-tailed pheasant in the Wind Canyon----"

"Yesterday, I have taught the third senior brother the water, fire, ice carp method, and the fifth senior sister is good at managing animals and birds, in the past ten years, the cooking method I have created has been passed on to the people in the academy, although the taste is slightly worse, you can deal with it, you can eat it. ”

Zhao Pu hurriedly spoke: "Worry-free, you should know that the old man didn't keep you for the sake of appetite----

"Well, I have passed on the method of Changle drunken brewing to the sixth senior brother, he is the most patient, the eighteen procedures should be good, I also left three vasks of aging, it should be enough to save drinking, and I don't want to come back." ”

The atmosphere was a little awkward.

Li Wuwu pondered for a while and said: "When the third senior brother was leaving, I told him that the ice carp came out of the water for a moment, sealed it with nine yin true qi, and roasted it with nine yang fire, as a peerless delicacy, this method is not false according to my speculation, water and fire are blended, there should be chaotic vitality, the most important thing is to make up for the void, but Rao is the third senior brother has entered the realm of the grandmaster, in this moment of true qi transformation, nine yin gives birth to nine yang, it is also difficult, not to mention that I also told him that water and fire are not tolerant of the wind, and on the way back, he should protect the grilled fish with his true qi, it doesn't matter if the speed is slower, don't take advantage of the heat." ”

"Don't worry," seeing that there was no place to relax, Zhao Pu also showed the demeanor of an old prime minister, "You are the smartest person I have ever seen and heard, and the old man and the two can be taught by you as a disciple, which is also a blessing to invite heaven, however, although you have read all the books in this world, the reason is also clear, it is the Tao, and it is also understood, but the things in this world are not so simple." ”

"So I'm going to go to the red dust to experience. Li Wuwu replied categorically.

"The red dust is chaotic, how can you be at ease in this Changle Mountain, what can you learn when you go down the mountain? Where have you not been to the place where the books in the world have been taken, it is some ancient etchings, bells and drums, haven't you also studied them thoroughly? Do you want to take the top prize? Your heavenly son's name is much louder than the champion!" Shen Tukong said dissatisfiedly.

Li Wuwu was silent.

Zhao Pu stretched out his hand, flicked his fingers, and asked in a deep voice, "How long?"

Li Wuwu closed his eyes, opened them again, and said with a wry smile: "The twelfth day is two o'clock and a quarter sharp." ”

Shen Tukong couldn't argue anymore, and frowned: "Wasn't it only the eleventh day a few days ago?"

Li Wuwu put the chess pieces in his hand into the box, slowly stood up, looked up at the sky, only to see the white clouds, he stretched out his hands, opened his mind, took a deep breath, and closed his eyes: "Teacher, your flick of your fingers, in me is the twelfth, count your fingers, you have been with me for ten years, but I have lived in this Changle Mountain for 100,000 years, tired, tired." ”

At this moment, it was Zhao Pu, the old prime minister who had been in charge of a country, and Shen Tukong, who did not change his color in front of the million-dollar army, also showed a strong sense of powerlessness.

After being silent for a while, Zhao Pu pondered: "If you really want to leave, the old man won't stop you." Shen Tukong stood up, Zhao Pu waved his hand and signaled, "You are wise and close to demons, but you are not in the world, you are a pedantic man, but you are unwilling and unable to practice martial arts, it is really a moment of crisis, your name as a heavenly son may not be able to save you, if you go down the mountain, I will send Fu Bo to accompany you, but you have to promise me one thing." ”

"What?"

"I use the secret of the master to seal your memory, and your life should not be affected, but the books you have read, the things you have thought about, I don't know how much you are capable of, and once it is sealed, I can't unlock it even if it is an old man, until one day, you break the seal yourself. However, if I seal you, your headaches and the pain of a thousand years of dreams will be relieved. ”

"The teacher has a saying, and the disciple has nothing to do. "Li Wuwu bowed to the ground" The time for the disciples to teach in the academy has arrived, go now, when there is a beginning and an end with the disciples of the academy, tomorrow morning, ask the teacher to seal, and then I will go down the mountain. After speaking, he saluted again, turned away, and the two white-haired old men who dominated the world were silent.

After a long time, Shen Tukong asked, "Old man Zhao, have you thought about it, this sealing technique is not a joke. ”

Zhao Puyan said: "I naturally know, but I think this is also an opportunity, Wuwu'er can't be like this for a lifetime, I sealed him, and when his seal is broken, maybe his illness will be cured." ”

Shen Tukong sighed: "You said it easily, and when he breaks the seal, I don't know if he will complain about you or miss you." ”

"At that time, the old man will not care so much. ”

There was a faint fragrance wafting in the wind in the distance, accompanied by the voice of the third senior brother: "Master, the little junior brother asked me to make the Jiuyang Ice Carp, it's really fragrant?

Changle Mountain, the Fountain of Immortality, and the ice carp have had a bad fate since then.
