Chapter 67: Chess in the Old Courtyard
The first literary test, there is no doubt that Xilin Xun heard the ink. Xun Wenmo's literary talent has been famous in Kyoto many years ago, even when his senior brother Li Chengjun was still participating in the Great Dao Sect performance, Xun Wenmo was already the first in the literary examination.
In other words, since Xun Wenmo participated in the Great Dao Sect performance, he has never won the second place in the literary examination. The second is the canopy of the candle shining on the starry mountain, which is also expected by everyone.
The third is Tan Rusu, and the fourth is Su Mu. Chi Yue Zhenren in the Guanyun Hall smiled. Qionghua Yushuang said that he had never seen such a gaffe Chi Yue.
The ranking of the essay test determines the next battle. One-on-four, two-on-three. Su Mu, after all, met Xun Wenmo, the strongest person on the star list.
Countless people had been waiting for a battle for a long time, especially after Ye Xiu lost to Su Mu in that way. ...... Su Mu walked to the Dharma platform.
Xun Wenmo's Confucian shirt was very surprising, because his dress was not suitable for the next battle.
He wears a square scarf on his head, his body is on the thin side, and his appearance is only middle-class. His gaze is soft, with kindness in it, giving people a very friendly feeling.
His steps were steady, and his clothes were extremely clean. He saluted Su Mu very seriously, but it was the same as when he fought with everyone in the past, including the degree of bending down and the angle of raising his hand, which was the most standard etiquette, even if the gentleman with the best etiquette in the palace came, he couldn't find the slightest fault.
Su Mu looked at the other party, if he didn't know that Xun Wenmo was the number one star and had a strong cultivation. Looking at it like this, he will treat the other party as a thin scholar.
Because, Xun Wenmo looks too much like a scholar in the traditional sense, and he will never have the slightest change in etiquette, just like some Confucian scholars can never take off their robes.
Of course, Su Mu felt the other party's respect for him. He also returned the salute as seriously as possible, but no matter how many times he did it, it was impossible for him to be like Xun Wenmo.
The two sat down. Enter the Realm of the Illusionary God. In the precedent guessing link, Xun Wenmo wins. Many Xilin disciples were very happy when they saw this scene.
Even if they believed in Senior Brother Xun very much, they had seen the battle between Su Mu and Ye Xiu.
To be able to get the geographical advantage, of course, is excellent. It's just that Xun Wenmo didn't choose the location immediately.
"Senior Brother Su, I saw you a few months ago on Xiuyun Mountain, I wonder if Senior Brother Su can remember?" Xun Wenmo's tone was like the ink in his name, dripping into the clear water, slowly drifting out in the water, very beautiful.
"Remember," Su Mu didn't know why the other party mentioned this, but guessed that he didn't agree to the other party to play chess at that time, maybe the other party wanted to know the reason, so he explained: "There was really something important at that time, so I politely refused Senior Brother Xun." Of course, Xun Wenmo now knew what he was talking about.
The battle in Dali Temple is not only famous in Kyoto, but now the entire Great Zhou knows it. At the beginning of that scene, he became the Supreme Elder of the Fire Cloud Sect, and returned to the death of the Dao Realm powerhouse Tu Luo.
I also know, Su Mu's friend, don't hurt easily. Otherwise, it is likely to cost lives.
"I understand," Xun Wenmo said, "So in today's battle, I want to choose a different way with Senior Brother Su." "Speaking of which.
Everyone also knows why Xun Wenmo wears such a dress. It's just that understanding doesn't mean understanding.
Especially the disciples of Xilin. Senior Brother Xun is the best at calligraphy, followed by swordsmanship. Although chess is also one of the Xilin courses, Xun Wenmo has not practiced much, and only this year has they often seen Senior Brother Xun appear in the chess room.
On the other hand, Su Mu played a game of chess with the real person on Xiuyun Mountain. Although he was defeated in the end, he was also a real person who was refining fire.
This is clearly fighting the strength of others with one's own weakness.
"How could Senior Brother Xun make such a decision?"
"Doesn't the dean, just care?" Naturally, the dean said that it was Mei Li.
"I think Senior Brother Xun must be too benevolent, he must have considered the battle between Su Mu and Ye Xiu, although he won, it also consumes a lot, he doesn't want to win, Senior Brother Xun is always like this." And while everyone was talking.
Xun Wenmo saw Su Mu who was thinking about it, and said again: "If Senior Brother Su thinks it is inappropriate, I must understand, and I apologize to Senior Brother Su for my abruptness." "The Dao Sect performance itself does not restrict the way of Dao warfare, just like Gu Lin'an and Xilin Xun of the Liantai Immortal Sect before they learned the Tao with paintings.
In countless dao battles, in addition to the way of drawing the dao, the way of music and rhythm has also appeared many times, and the same is true of chess.
As long as both sides are willing, the imperial court does not object.
"It's not that I disagree," Su Mu said, "But I have a question I want to ask Senior Brother Xun." ”
"Please," Xun Wenmo was really polite at all times.
"If I don't agree, Senior Brother Xun is dressed like this, is he confident that he can beat me, or does it matter?"
"Whether it's a contest in Taoism or a game in chess, it's my honor to be able to compete with Senior Brother Su," he said very seriously, it really didn't look like the words on those scenes,
"Every competition, I take it seriously." I dressed like this, and I definitely didn't mean to despise you.
Su Mu looked at Xun Wenmo's eyes, he didn't have Mo Qianhe's magic eyes, but Xun Wenmo's eyes were very sincere.
"Please," Su Mu was like Xun Wenmo just now. Xun Wenmo understood what he meant. He chose the old Confucian courtyard.
This is the place where the most holy teachers of Confucianism gave lectures when they were founded. The bamboo forest is not big, but whether it is in Xilin or in the whole world, this place is not small, and choosing such a place may also represent Xun Wenmo's respect for Su Mu.
The wind blows through the bamboo forest. The greenery is full of vibrant bamboo leaves swaying between the branches. The slightly cool breeze, in the middle of it, seems to be able to whisk away all the tiredness, and people can't help but calm down.
Especially for people like Su Mu and them, who are constantly fighting in the Great Dao Sect Performance, they have a clearer experience.
The sky shines into the forest. The bright light sprinkled on a quaint chess table, and the chess pieces in the chess game next to it were round stones.
The two of them sat down. Xun Wenmo said that Su Mu went first, and there was no need to guess first. Su Mu saw that he was proposing a chess battle because he wanted to give Su Mu this choice.
However, Su Mu did not agree. Xun Wenmo is obviously not a person who likes to bypass these. And this time the guess first, Su Musheng won.
So he took the lead in black. Many people in the building outside saw this scene and completely recognized the reality.
This is the battle they have been waiting for for a long time. Whether it is the rising star of Shushan who is indomitable, or Xilin who continues to occupy the top spot.
Now, after all, there is no result. Now, they just want this chess battle to be more interesting, more intense, and more shocking than they imagined.
Inside the Cloud Viewing Hall. Whether it is the real person of Chi Yue in Shushan or Mei Li or the writer of Xilin, they are all very calm.
For Chi Yue, Su Mu and Xun Wenmo are better than Daofa and chess battles, and the latter's winning rate is obviously higher, so he is naturally happy to see it.
As for Dean Mei Li, he just opened his eyes a little wider when Xun Wenmo proposed a chess battle to Su Mu, and other than that, he didn't have any other demeanor, and he didn't know whether he was sure that Xun Wenmo would win or lose It didn't matter.
However, the Elder of Shenwu Mountain, who was quite famous among the ten holy places in the formation path, was the most expected. ...... In the bamboo forest of the old courtyard.
There is the chirping of thrushes one after another. Click. In the midst of the sound, Su Mu dropped the first chess piece.
It didn't start very much, it just landed on the stars very usually. Although it is said that above the beginning, unless it falls directly to Tianyuan, the rest does not seem to be too shocking.
But when they saw it, many people couldn't help but be a little disappointed. After all, it is also human nature to eat melons.
Xun Wenmo was also very conventional, and said: "Actually, I didn't expect to play chess with you at the Great Dao Sect Performance. "The implication is that I'm surprised that you've been here.
