Chapter 255: White Horse Chess
At the foot of Shenmu Mountain, in front of the 908-step bluestone steps, two trains of horses came slowly, and the first two big flags were waving in the wind, and the hunting sounded.
On one of the flags, there is a big "Tang" character written in red letters on a white background, and on the other flag, there is a black luan jumping on it, and the eyes of the black luan are black and white, just like a pair of black and white chess pieces, looking at each other from afar.
This is the flag of Shengyou College.
For this cultural meeting, both Shenmu Mountain and the entire country are quite important, in this regard, Shengyou Academy has also given enough face, not only the leader of the chess university scholar Kang Mingshan, but also the two national players of the Tang Kingdom, a group of more than 30 people, came in a mighty way.
Walking to the foot of Shenmu Mountain, soon a student from Hongming Academy came forward and said respectfully, "You are the senior brothers of Shengyou Academy?"
As soon as a white horse walked slowly from the middle of the group, the person on the horse turned over, arched his hand towards the other party, and said, "Shengyou Academy is invited by Lu Sheng to come to discuss the Tao. ”
The man was dressed in a pale cyan robe, a black crown, and a size-long ink pen hung from his waist. He was generous and decent, and he was not dissatisfied at all because of the low rank of the person who received him.
After receiving the confirmation, the students of Na Hongming Academy immediately bowed down and smiled, "Lu Bansheng is already waiting for you in front of the mountain gate. ”
Hearing this, there was a commotion in the crowd, obviously many of them had heard of Lu Sanjiao's name, this time when they came to Shenmu Mountain, Hongming Academy actually let Lu Sanjiao wait in front of the mountain gate, which made everyone feel a little flattered.
Many students have unconsciously straightened their waists, and their faces are full of pride.
The man in Tsing Yi also looked quite surprised. Wen Yan immediately tidied up his clothes, raised his hand to hold the crown on his head, and turned around and said, "This meeting." You all represent my Shengyou Academy, and between your words and deeds, you must not lose your courtesy. ”
Everyone agreed, turned over and dismounted, and soon gathered at the foot of the mountain with the man in green clothes as the center.
In this way, this man in Tsing Yi should be the leader of this trip to Shengyou Academy. Kang Mingshan, a university scholar, stood on his right hand at this time, there was a middle-aged man and an old man, it seemed that they should be the two national players of the Tang Kingdom.
It's just that. Who is the young man in white next to Kang Mingshan's left hand?
The young man in white looked like he should be sixteen or seventeen years old, and the look on his face looked a little lazy, and he didn't know if it was due to fatigue all the way.
"This is Shenmu Mountain, doesn't it seem like a big deal? ”
The voice of the young man in white seemed rather lazy, and his eyes revealed a little disappointment. Immediately, Kang Mingshan reprimanded: "Cheer up." After a while, I entered the mountain gate, don't say that!"
The young man in white shrugged his shoulders, pouted and said, "If you don't say it, you won't say it." ”
However, as soon as he stopped for a while, the young man in white came to Kang Mingshan's side again and said in a low voice: "Before I came, I heard from Old Man Fei that Su Wen is also in Shenmu Mountain?"
Hearing this, Kang Mingshan suddenly felt a headache, he really didn't know how Fei Bansheng could teach such an apprentice. Then he said inwardly: "I warn you, this meeting is not trivial. This is Shenmu Mountain, not the Hidden Valley! If you dare to do anything wrong, no one will be able to save you at that time!"
The young man in white spread his hands and said helplessly: "Lao Kang, I'll just ask casually, don't be so nervous." ”
Kang Mingshan was unmoved by the young man's defense, glared at him fiercely again, and then stepped forward and stepped on the long bluestone steps of Shenmu Mountain.
Who would have thought that after a few steps, the young man in white stuck up like a kraft candy again, and kept asking: "By the way, Lao Kang, you should tell me, what kind of heart did Hongming Academy invite us over this time?"
"If it seems to me that this Weiguo doesn't know how to play chess in the first place, isn't he trying to steal a teacher from us?"
"It is said that the tea saint Lu Yu has a modest style, but he knows the face and does not know the heart, you said that if we go up the mountain like this, if we are detained by others at that time, and we want to blackmail our academy to use chess games to redeem people, then we will not become sinners of the academy?"
"Besides, you said that this is a cultural meeting, they are doing the tea ceremony, and we are good at chess, so what can we exchange and learn from each other? When the time comes, when you sit there, no one knows what the other party is talking about, what kind of way is this?"
Kang Mingshan walked in front with a pale face, ignoring the chatter of the young man in white along the way, presumably he has been used to such a scene since this journey, and now he is too lazy to take care of it.
But the young man in white didn't show any discouragement, and continued: "Take 10,000 steps back, even if this Hongming Academy doesn't have the idea of deducting people from books, but after all, this literary meeting is organized by others, what if they propose to conduct a literary test at that time? If you want to say that I am not afraid of playing chess, even if Lu Yu personally plays the game, but if it is a poetry or something, then Su Wen is a poetry saint!"
"Lao Kang, when the time comes, it will not be you and me who will lose face, but the face of our academy......"
Kang Mingshan finally stopped, and the young man in white thought that the other party was finally moved by what he said, and he couldn't help but show a smile, but he didn't think that Kang Mingshan said directly: "Then why did you follow me in vain?"
The young man in white was stunned for a moment, and then said righteously: "Aren't I worried that Lao Kang will suffer a loss, with your character, if you are not careful, you have to help others count the money if you are sold!"
Kang Mingshan took a deep breath, and finally suppressed the anger in his heart, and kept reminding himself in his heart that he must not let the people of Hongming Academy see the joke here, so he quickly quickened his pace, and swept the nine hundred and eight bluestone steps at the fastest speed, and came to the front of the mountain gate.
As the students of Hongming Academy under the mountain said, Lu Sanjiao has been waiting here for a long time.
The two national chess players of the Tang Dynasty and the young man in white followed closely, and they also saw the majestic white jade mountain gate and the lifelike flying birds above the mountain gate.
"Presumably this is Mr. Kang from Shengyou Academy?"
A feminine smile appeared on Lu Sanjiao's face and stepped forward.
Kang Mingshan hurriedly bowed and saluted, and said, "Kang Mingshan has seen Lord Lu. ”
Lu Sanjiao smiled and helped Kang Mingshan up, then swept his gaze to the three people next to him, and said with a smile: "These three must also be the proud sons of the Heavenly Sons of Shengyou Academy?"
Kang Mingshan hurriedly introduced: "These two are not from my academy, but my country's chess masters. ”
"Zhou Feng has seen Lord Lu. ”
"In Xialuyou, I hope that Lord Lu will see more teachings. ”
A hint of surprise flashed in Lu Sanjiao's eyes when she heard this, and she frequently bowed her head and said, "Thanks to the two of you for coming to enjoy the light, it really makes my Hongming Academy shine." ”
The chess masters of the Tang Kingdom, even if they look at the entire Shengyan Continent, are probably among the strongest in chess skills, but most of these chess idiots are obsessed with chess and have nothing to do with other literary skills, which also makes their literary position not obvious, and they are often just a tribute or a scholar.
Lu Sanjiao did not despise these two people because of their literary positions, but felt very honored, so it seems that whether it is Shengyou Academy or the Tang Kingdom, they all attach great importance to this article.
After seeing the two national players, Lu Sanjiao's eyes naturally fell on the young man in white at the end, but he had already guessed the identity of the other party in his heart.
At this moment, the most nervous person is Kang Mingshan, he is afraid that this kid will make some trouble at this time, which will anger the Half-Saint Venerable, and both sides will not be able to step down at that time.
Who would have thought that the young man in white, who had always been open-mouthed, was extremely respectful at this time, and his eyes also swept away the previous laziness, and he bowed down and said: "Student Yumo, I have seen Lu Bansheng!"
Lu Sanjiao patted the young man's shoulder with satisfaction and encouraged: "Sure enough, you are a hero and a young man, presumably you will have a place on the list of talents after a month!"
Yu Mo continued to maintain a bowing posture and said modestly: "Lord Lu has praised it falsely, and the student is ashamed. ”
Such an answer made Kang Mingshan on the side stunned, if he hadn't understood this Yu Mo's temperament, he would have really been deceived by him, and he really thought that he was a humble gentleman who was neither humble nor arrogant.
In such a short time, the students of Shengyou Academy also came to the front of the mountain gate, Lu Sanjiao did not put on a half-saint shelf, but greeted everyone one by one, which immediately made these students feel a great honor in addition to panic.
After a moment of greetings, Lu Sanjiao walked through the mountain gate with this mighty group of dozens of students and climbed towards the top of Shenmu Mountain.
When they were halfway up the mountain, the students in charge of receiving Hongming Academy led everyone to a small building in the woods as a resting place for Shengyou College these days.
After simply ordering everyone to rest on the spot, Kang Mingshan and the two national players did not stop halfway up the mountain, but followed Lu Sanjiao to continue to walk towards the top of the mountain.
After all, as the leader of the Shengyou Academy this time, I still have to go to visit the Tea Saint.
Yu Mo originally wanted to follow, but was categorically rejected by Kang Mingshan, although Yu Mo's behavior was quite decent before, but Kang Mingshan was really afraid that he would expose his true nature again, so it would be safer to leave him here.
But what Kang Mingshan never expected was that less than a quarter of an hour after they left, Yu Mo quietly got out of the small building in the forest and walked towards the mountain path.
"Old fellow, if you don't take me to play, don't I have my own feet?"
Saying this, Yu Mo didn't have the consciousness of being a guest at all, and swaggered to the tea ceremony on the mountainside, and walked towards the top of Shenmu Mountain.
