Chapter 5 On the Drum Mountain
Walking along the mountain road, after a while, Long Tao came to a mountain stream, there is a bamboo pavilion on the side of the bamboo forest, and two young men dressed as villagers sat in the pavilion.
When the two men saw Long Tao, they got up to stop him and kept signing and talking.
Su Xinghe calls himself "Mr. Smart Debate", but the nickname given to him by the world is "Deaf and dumb old man". Just because he was forced by Ding Chunqiu to pretend to be deaf and dumb, all the disciples he received were stabbed deaf and dumb, and he created a deaf and dumb door, and these two people should be the disciples who guarded the mountain gate for him.
Long Tao made a few random gestures, and he didn't even know what he meant, and the two naturally couldn't understand it, one of them took out a pen and paper and handed it to Long Tao, signaling him to write his name.
Long Tao wrote with a pen: Gan Guanghao, a disciple of the Infinite Sword, asked to see the old Su seniors of the Xiaoyao Sect.
As for how to apprentice, Long Tao has been thinking for a long time, and he has a plan in his heart.
It is not easy to make up an identity, pretend to be a ghost, and try to fool two shrewd old guys, and once it is discovered, it will be life-threatening.
Long Tao decided to reveal his identity directly and worship the mountain in the name of Gan Guanghao, because he had a complete memory of Gan Guanghao in his head, and even if he was asked about his identity, he could answer correctly.
Of course, a disciple of the Infinite Sword, Su Xinghe must not be too lazy to take care of it, so Long Tao deliberately added the words "Xiaoyaomen people" at the end.
In today's world, the Xiaoyao faction is extinct, and there are very few people in the world who know the Xiaoyao faction, and even fewer know that he Su Xinghe is a Xiaoyaomen person, so Long Tao expects that Su Xinghe will be curious to see him if he is revealed to be a "Xiaoyaomen person".
Sure enough, after the disciple left with the paper, he rushed over after a while, bowed to Long Tao, made a gesture of please, and then led the way in front.
Long Tao followed him all the way to a valley where pine trees were planted, and there were three large wooden houses in the clearing, and a short, thin, shriveled old man stood under the big pine tree in front of him.
Long Tao stepped forward and slammed it to the ground, and said respectfully: "Gan Guanghao greets Su senior!" ”
Su Xinghe didn't answer, he squinted at him coldly, and suddenly slapped his palm on Long Tao's chest.
Long Tao was startled, dodged to dodge, Su Xinghe changed his palm into a finger, and continued to attack, Long Tao had to instinctively parry with the immeasurable sword martial arts that Gan Guanghao had learned.
After three moves, Long Tao was difficult to resist, Su Xinghe attacked non-stop, Long Tao couldn't do anything, he used Ling Bo microstep, and it was difficult to avoid two moves.
Su Xinghe was shocked, stopped attacking, found a pair of paper and pencils, and wrote: "How can the disciple of the Infinite Sword Ling Bo Weibu? How do you know I'm from Xiaoyaomen? Why? "It turned out that he only used three moves to try out that Long Tao was indeed from the Infinite Sword Sect.
Long Tao secretly scolded in his heart: This little old man is pretending, obviously not deaf or dumb, he has to communicate with a pen, let me write to you one by one, don't die in a hurry!
"Back to the old-timers." Long Tao slammed to the ground again, and said directly: "Ling Bo Weibu was inadvertently obtained by the junior in a cave in Wuliang Mountain, which was left by a senior of the Freedom Sect, and with it is the essence of the Northern Spiritual Skill. ”
Su Xinghe's eyes widened suddenly, and he was obviously surprised, and then his face was suspicious, as if he couldn't believe it.
Long Tao took out the magic scroll and offered it with both hands, Su Xinghe took it and opened it, only glanced at it, his face changed greatly, and he hurriedly turned to the back of the wooden house with the scroll in his hand.
Long Tao secretly wiped a cold sweat, Su Xinghe was willing to show the scroll to Wu Yazi, his plan was a successful first step.
After a while, Su Xinghe came back, but the scroll in his hand was gone, thinking that it was left in the wooden house.
He stared at Long Tao, his face softened slightly, and the hostility in his eyes was a little less, and he pointed to the paper with his finger, "How do you know that I am from Xiaoyaomen?" ”
Long Tao replied: "That senior left a word at the end of the scroll, so that the destined person could kill all the disciples of the Xiaoyao School after learning the divine skills, and there was another book outside the scroll, which stated that the old predecessor Su was loyal to the master and endured humiliation and unyielding, which was very rare, and he could not be killed, but Ding Chunqiu deceived the teacher and destroyed the ancestor, and his line must be killed completely." The younger generation learned that the senior was a Xiaoyaomen person. ”
"It's a pity that the book was unfortunately lost when the younger generation died in the world." Long Tao added and sighed, of course, this kind of fabricated thing must be destroyed immediately.
Su Xinghe stroked his beard, nodded, as if he had believed eight points, and then pointed to the "Why did you come?" ”
Long Tao was secretly happy in his heart, and continued: "It's a shame to say that our sect suffered a catastrophe, and the younger generation was on the way to escape, but fortunately got the magic secrets of the seniors in the cave, learned a few steps of Ling Bo Weibu, and escaped the catastrophe several times with it, which is considered to be fated to receive the great kindness of the senior, the grace of dripping water, and the spring reciprocates, and the younger generation naturally has to complete the things explained by the senior!" ”
Long Tao sighed and said: "It's a pity that the younger generation has dull qualifications, and the cultivation of the Northern Shengong has always been unable to get started, and after thinking about it, he finally decided to risk death to ask his predecessors for advice, if he is lucky enough to practice the divine skills, he will definitely kill the thief Ding Chunqiu to repay the great kindness of the seniors." ”
Su Xinghe stared at him closely, as if he was discerning the truth of Long Tao's words.
Long Tao's face did not change, and he was calm. He really said this from the bottom of his heart, if he succeeds in his divine skills, he will definitely clean up Ding Chunqiu in the future, but the predecessor he wants to ask for is Wuyazi, not Su Xinghe.
Su Xinghe finally nodded, and wrote on the paper: "Northern Shengong, I won't either." ”
Long Tao thought to himself, of course I know that you won't, isn't there still your master. saw Su Xinghe continue to write: "What is the great disaster for the Infinite Sword Sect? ”
Long Tao said: "The Shennong Gang was instructed by the Ethereal Peak Vulture Palace to attack Wuliang Mountain, our faction was defeated, and it has surrendered to the Vulture Palace, the kid escaped by luck, but became an outcast of the Infinite Sword Sect, and was hunted down. "This is a mixed bag, anyway, the Infinite Sword has indeed surrendered, and it is still chasing itself, so there is nothing wrong with saying this.
After saying this, Long Tao vaguely heard a sigh from the wooden house.
Wuyazi naturally knew that the owner of the Vulture Palace was his senior sister Tianshan Tong, and he also knew the purpose of her attack on Wuliang Mountain, thinking that he remembered the past love and hatred with his senior sister and sister, and couldn't help but sigh.
Su Xinghe turned around and went to the back of the wooden house, and after a while, he walked out with a big bluestone in his hand.
The bluestone was almost as tall as him, at least two or three hundred catties, and he was a short and thin old man holding it in his hand, as if nothing had happened.
"Bang!"
Su Xinghe put down the bluestone, and Long Tao saw that there was a chessboard carved on the stone surface, crisscrossed by sunspots and whites.
This should be the Zhenlong chess game without cliffs!
Long Tao's heart tightened, the plan finally succeeded in the most critical step, it seems that Wu Yazi is willing to give him a chance, to test his qualifications, whether he is enough to be his disciple.
Su Xinghe waved his hand, and the two small stone benches slid to both sides of the big bluestone, and he sat on one of the stone benches by himself, waved his hand, and motioned for Long Tao to sit on the other.
Whether it's Long Tao or Gan Guanghao, they don't know how to go!
Long Tao pretended to be confused, sat down obediently, and Su Xinghe handed him a bowl of white seeds, pointed to the chessboard, and smiled kindly at him.
"Life and death, in one fell swoop! It's time to show off your superb acting skills. ”
Long Tao turned his heart sideways, staring at the chessboard that was no different from gibberish in his eyes, and pretended to think deeply.
