Chapter 23: Irresistible

"You are?"

Looking at the old man standing behind him, the corners of Jing Yifan's mouth trembled, and he quickly swept the doors and windows, not to mention people, even if it was a fly all the time, it might not be able to fly in.

"You're the one from the chess club?"

Frightened, he took a few steps back, until he reached the corner of the wall, and after touching the wall, he felt a little more realistic. With no way out, Jing Yifan could only grit his teeth and look directly at the old man in front of him.

It was none other than the strange old man who had been playing against him in the chess club for a day today. The old man's late-night visit really made Jing Yifan a little unbearable.

Did anyone come into someone's house without a sound?

"Man is like this flame, which can be faltered by any external factors, and if it cannot overcome these factors, it can only be extinguished, but the flame that is about to be extinguished can continue to burn strongly, and the flame will grow stronger. People are like this, as long as they don't give up, they can be like this flame, burning more and more. ”

The old man's mouth never opened, but the words just now sounded in Jing Yifan's ears, and the words were imprinted in his mind and engraved into his heart. It's like a Sanskrit sound, and it keeps hovering in my mind.

It seemed that everything was still, and the fear in Jing Yifan's heart was reduced, and there was completely that small flame in front of him, watching every move of the flame, Jing Yifan was confused, as if he had caught something, but as if he had caught nothing.

"People are like ...... Flames...... Don't give up...... The more you burn, the more you burn, the more prosperous it gets......"

I don't know how long it took, Jing Yifan's heart finally became clear, he finally figured out what the old man's words meant, and understood the truth. The appearance of the old man was not accidental, it was deliberate, to help him get out of the predicament.

He has not failed since he came to this world, and this defeat can be described as a huge blow to him, and it is exactly what happened. The old man's words woke him up and gave him back his lost self-confidence.

"Senior...... Uh......"

After waking up, Jing Yifan was full of gratitude to the old man, but at this time, he found that there was still an old man in the house, it was empty, and it seemed that nothing had happened.

"How is that possible?" Jing Yifan looked at both rooms, and the old man was indeed gone. "Is there anyone who can't disappear into thin air and won't see hell, right?"

He didn't believe it, and the fact that he was able to regain himself from his decadence proves that everything just now was not illusory, but it is difficult to explain it for the time being.

"Three Mile Pavilion outside the city!"

Just when he was worried about this matter and couldn't understand it, a voice sounded in his heart again, very clearly, it was the voice of the old man. Jing Yifan stood up excitedly and ran into the inner room to take a look, it was empty, and there was no one at all. The voice just now was by no means a fantasy, it was heard very clearly in his mind, and it was indeed the voice of the old man.

After looking around and still finding no trace of the old man, Jing Yifan planned to go outside the city, and he knew that Li Ji took him to Sanli Pavilion. When I opened the door, I found that it was still the third pole and the third watch of the month.

"No matter what, how do you have to find out what happened?" went back to the house, put on a dress, picked up the lantern and headed for Sanli Pavilion......

Sanli Pavilion, as the name suggests, is three miles away from Yuerong Castle. The distance of three miles is not far at all, and it can only be during the day, but at night, the distance of three miles is not a simple matter.

The cold wind howled, blowing on the face and causing pain, like a knife slashing across the face. The lights in the lantern were already invisible, as if they were going to be extinguished at any moment.

Fortunately, the road of Sanli Pavilion was not too rough, and it took a long time, and on the eve of dawn, Jing Yifan still arrived at Sanli Pavilion.

Sanli Pavilion is just a stone pavilion. It can accommodate more than a dozen people at most, and there is a stone table in the middle, but a chessboard is depicted in the middle of the stone table, it is not difficult to see that the Hongtian Dynasty attaches great importance to chess art, and even such a remote resting place is full of strong chess atmosphere.

The stone pavilion is not big, and you can see the whole picture at a glance, and the old man seems to be ...... Not there?

It was pitch black, and not a single bird or beast could be seen, let alone anyone. In the middle of the night and the silence around, the cold wind blew, and I didn't realize it when I walked just now, but I stopped at this time, and I felt that a cold air was spreading on my back.

"Senpai!"

"Senior, where are you?"

Jing Yifan didn't believe that he was so unlucky, and he would be called to this place where birds don't for no reason to play tricks on himself.

The silence of the night was shattered by his shouting.

A minute passed, and the old man did not appear.

Three minutes passed, and he frowned slightly, but the old man still did not appear.

Ten minutes passed, his heart sank to a low point, and the old man did not appear.

The night slowly dispersed from the distant sky, the dawn quietly fell, half an hour passed, this time he didn't want to believe it was useless, he was really being tricked.

The old man never appeared, and sighed, he lost the mind to stay. If you run to this barren mountain and mountain without sleeping at night like a fool, even if you are not a fool, you will be considered sick by others.

"Yes, I was able to stay for so long, and I didn't disappoint the old man!"

Just as Jing Yifan was about to leave, someone suddenly spoke in the stone pavilion. I don't know when an old man was sitting in the stone pavilion, and even if he wanted to break his head, he didn't know when the old man entered. He glanced around just now, but didn't find any figures, the old man seemed to appear out of thin air, which made him hesitate a little, and he didn't dare to take the initiative to step forward for a while.

"Former ...... Senior, how are you ...... Go out...... Here?" said weakly, the old man has always been like this, and the dragon has never seen the end, which makes his little heart a little unbearable.

"Yes, it seems that you have regained your self-confidence, the old man has read countless people in his life, and he can surpass you, but only a few fingers. ”

The old man didn't answer Jing Yifan, he still looked at him carefully, and from time to time a strange light emanated from his eyes, as if he had seen a rare treasure, which made Jing Yifan's whole body cold for a while, and goosebumps instantly spread all over his body.

"This news is really true, if such a talent is born in the Star Boundary, even if it is the pride of the Star Boundary, it is difficult to compare, although it started late, but it is still malleable, if you cultivate it well, it will also be an optimus in the future. "It is not by chance that this old man suddenly appeared in Yue Rong this time, it is precisely for Jing Yifan to come.

Sixteen-year-old chess masters, the entire continent is extremely rare, for a dynasty, maybe a sixteen-year-old saint can only attract attention, for some special existence, it is a rare treasure. With such a talent, how many people can be found in the world.

Although Jing Yifan was only famous for a while, he was still favored by people with a heart, such as the old man in front of him.

"Boy, you've been at the peak of the Holy Hand for a long time, right?

If he had said this to Jing Yifan a day ago, he might have been very happy, because breaking through Tian Yuan was his goal. But looking at the smile on the old man's face, no matter how he looked at it, he felt that the old man was playing tricks on him, treating himself as a weak little sheep.

The old man seemed to see what he was thinking, his face remained unchanged, and his smile became even brighter. "Actually, I can let you reach the Tianyuan stage within a month. ”

This is an irresistible temptation, and Jing Yifan is a little moved. He had been in the Holy Hand for months, and even though he felt like he could break through recently, he was still stuck in the doorway, as if this was a step he could take at all. Is it absolutely impossible to stay in the stage of the holy hand in your life, is it possible to be reborn once, you can only live in obscurity like this, and you can't even reach the peak of chess skills.

He was not reconciled!
