In the sword pool of the Great Xuan Sword Sect of Taixu Mountain, there are nearly 100,000 hidden swords, which are famous all over the world, and they are called the East Xuan Sword Pool whenever people in the rivers and lakes mention it.

After Mu Linchun left Kunlun, he was not in a hurry to return to Tianxi City in Taiqingzhou, but took his sister Mu Youzhi and Yueyao to take a Qilu snow sedan chair and rushed to Taixu Shandong Xuanjian Pond non-stop.

The three of them came to the foot of the half-section peak, Mu Linchun looked at the Great Xuanjian Sect in front of him, and sighed in his heart, the rivers and lakes all said that the Eastern Xuanjian Pool and the Red Lotus Sword Sect were not comparable, but until this moment, he knew that his own sect was far inferior to the grandeur of the sect in front of him.

Countless attics are lined up one after another, and the cornices poke out of the pines and cypresses, row by row, surrounding half of the peak. Five miles away, there are nine peaks in the sky, the aura of the nine mountains seems to gather here, Zhong is sensitive and beautiful, unique, the air is full of vitality, and it makes people feel refreshed and happy.

When Mu Linchun saw the East Building of the West Gate again, he obviously felt that the tall figure of this twilight old man seemed to be much more rickety.

The old man was not very surprised when he saw Mu Linchun, he instructed his grandson Ximen Feilong to lead Mu Youzhi and Yueyao to tour the scenery inside and outside the sect, but he took Mu Linchun to the halfway peak.

On the top of the peak, not far from the huge sword pond with strong sword spirit, there was an ancient pavilion, in which an old man in white and a young man in black sat opposite each other, playing chess.

Mu Linchun knew that young man, it was Su Chenyang, the young master of Full Moon Village, and he saw him holding a black chess piece in his hand, his brows were tightly wrinkled, thinking about it, but he didn't know how to settle it.

The gray-haired but extraordinarily generous old man on the opposite side did not show impatience on his face, he picked up the tea cup on the table and took a sip of it, and glanced at the West Gate East Building and Mu Linchun by the way, but he didn't care, and a pair of eyes quickly returned to the chessboard.

Su Chenyang's expression changed, completely immersed in the chess game, and he was unaware of the arrival of the West Gate East Building and Mu Linchun.

Mu Linchun was a little curious, turned his gaze to the chess game, and when he saw it, he suddenly became interested. He was frail and sickly since he was a child, and he could not practice martial arts, but he had a lot of research on piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. Since Emperor Taizu expelled foreign races and recovered the Central Plains, he changed the tragic situation of being unique in the world, and Go has returned to people's field of vision, and it has been vigorously developed in the astronomical years of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and there has been a situation of a hundred schools of thought, and many chess saints have been born, and many schools have been formed.

Mu Linchun was calm and concentrating, secretly figuring out the situation on the chessboard, on the black and white chessboard, Su Chenyang's sunspot was chased and intercepted all the way, without the power to resist, at this time it seemed that he had fallen into a desperate situation, if he made a mistake, he would inevitably end up losing the whole game.

Looking back at Baizi, although it is simple and clear, it is actually a strange layout, in a peaceful place, and with a murderous aura that is about to come out, it seems to be ordinary, but in fact, there are traps everywhere, virtual and real, making people have no idea where to start.

Mu Linchun frowned slightly, he knew the game style and moves of the popular Go genre well, and he could rearrange the "bad game" chess that he had watched and make a good move. But no matter which faction, chess is played with chess quality, but the chess game laid out by the old man in front of him is extremely strange by unscrupulous means, and it is very different from the current schools.

After thinking about it for a while, he had vaguely guessed the identity of this dashing old man, and he was secretly shocked in his heart.

Thirty years ago, there were only 17 vertical and horizontal paths on the chessboard, and it was a stunning martial arts master who changed the chessboard to 19 vertical and horizontal paths, a total of 361 paths, imitating the degree of Zhou Tian. However, those literati and scholars scoffed at this, and no one was willing to buy the account of this martial artist. In a fit of rage, the man flew into the mansion of Zhuge Ye, who was recognized as the national player of the Great Zhou Dynasty at that time, and carried him to the Fengbo Building to compete in chess. The two talked about ten rounds with their hands, and the next thrilling game was quite a match.

And this was later called the "Ten Storms" wonderful chess game, and it was repeatedly deduced and speculated by countless people in the chess path. Since then, the Nineteen Ways have prevailed in the world overnight, and the name of the person who played against the great power Zhuge Ye has also been remembered by the world, that is, Cai Lanting, who is known as the first knife in the world and occupies half of the sword list.

Mu Linchun, as the young master of the Red Lotus Sword Sect, naturally studied Cai Lanting, a chess saint from the rivers and lakes, and once spent three hundred taels of silver to buy a copy of Cai Lanting's "Theory of Trickery", so he had a deep memory of this self-contained chess style of the world's first sword.

Although he guessed the identity of this person, there was no wave on his face, and he couldn't help but chuckle.

Su Chenyangtu, who had been hesitating, was about to put the chess piece in his hand into the box, but suddenly heard laughter, he looked sideways, couldn't help but be stunned, and hurriedly got up and said hello to the West Gate East Building and Mu Linchun who were standing on the side.

Su Chenyang looked at Mu Linchun and said respectfully: "Brother Mu, why are you here?

"Yes, thank you Brother Su for your concern. After Mu Linchun finished speaking, he bowed to the old man opposite Su Chenyang and said, "It turned out to be Mr. Cai, it's really disrespectful!"

Cai Lanting hadn't seen Mu Linchun, he only thought that the old fox had told him his identity, and said expressionlessly: "Boy, why did you laugh just now?"

Mu Linchun said respectfully: "Mr. Cai's chessboard layout, exquisite, eye-opening, Mr. left five ways out for Brother Su, but all of them are dead ends to lure the enemy deep, although Brother Su failed to find out the real way to live, but there is no plan, the younger generation is too fascinated to see it, and only laughs on a whim, where it is offended, look at Mr. Cai Haihan." ”

Cai Lanting narrowed his eyes and said with a smile: "You kid can also play chess?" You just said that he didn't find a real way to survive, could it be that you can find it?"

Mu Linchun said calmly: "The younger generation has studied chess a little, and I am even more fortunate to get a chess game written by Mr. Cai, so I also know a little about Mr. Cai's peerless skill......" After speaking, he glanced at the East Building of the West Gate.

Ximen Donglou smiled and said: "Mu boy, if you have a way to turn this game of dead chess around, you can give it a try, don't worry about saving Xiao Cai's face, if you can really win him, it's too late for him to be happy." ”

Mu Linchun smiled, didn't speak again, picked up a sunspot from the chess box, and slowly fell under the gaze of the West Gate East Building, Cai Lanting and Su Chenyang.

As Mu Linchun's chess piece fell, the sunspots on the entire chessboard, which were originally in a desperate situation, instantly revived, and everyone's faces changed.

Su Chenyang said happily: "Wonderful! It's really wonderful! I didn't expect Brother Mu's chess skills to be so high, I really admire and admire!"

Although this move was not made by Su Chenyang himself, in recent days, he has always been crushed by this invincible second master in the world on the chessboard, and every time he makes the first move, he has never won a game.

Mu Linchun just smiled and didn't answer his words.

Cai Lanting's face finally had an expression, and he sneered: "Don't be too happy. As he spoke, he picked up a white piece and landed on the chessboard, and the situation that seemed to have just been reversed was once again dangerous.

Mu Linchun's expression was calm, and he bent down and took out a sunspot from the box and settled again.

The two of them stood one by one, and they dropped dozens of seeds respectively, each time they fell to the peak, and they were also mentioned several times, which can be described as thrilling and praised.

A playful smile appeared on the face of the East Building of the West Gate, and he looked at Cai Lanting with gloating eyes.

The speed of the two players played chess very fast, almost without thinking, and they had no regrets, and in the end, it ended in a draw, and no one could help anyone.

Cai Lanting's eyes were shining, and he couldn't help but look at the thin young man in front of him again, and asked with a smile: "Your surname is Mu, the people surnamed Mu who can walk on this half of the peak are probably only the descendants of Old Man Mu, right?"

Ximen Donglou smiled, and said: "That's right, this son is Mu Linsen's eldest grandson, called Mu Linchun, how about it, Xiao Cai, are you convinced?" After speaking, he laughed heartily, and when he saw Cai Lanting's chess opponent for the first time, his heart was also very happy.

Cai Lanting nodded and said: "Sure enough, there are talented people in the country, and the future is terrifying! However, since you are the grandson of Old Man Mu, how can you seem to have no martial arts at all? But your body is ...... Shouldn't that be?"

After Cai Lanting finished speaking, he looked at the East Building of the West Gate with an inquiring gaze.

Ximen Donglou sighed, "Although Old Man Mu's martial arts are not as good as you and me, but they are enough to laugh at the rivers and lakes, why did he die young? ”

Cai Lanting thought for a moment, his heart was shocked, but his face was very indifferent, he looked at Mu Linchun again, and sighed secretly in his heart.

The East Building of the West Gate glanced at Mu Linchun, who was a little pale, and said, "Mu boy, Chenyang, you two go down first, I have something to tell Mr. Cai." ”

Mu Linchun and Su Chenyang arched their hands to the two old men and turned to leave.

It wasn't until the figures of the two disappeared that the West Gate East Building suddenly said: "Xiao Cai, I have to ask you to help me set up a formation this time." ”

In front of this centenarian who was also a teacher and friend of himself, Cai Lanting no longer concealed his emotions at all, and he said coldly: "Ximen East Building, have you thought about it, do you really want to do this?"

"What's worth it, I'm at this age, how many years can I live? The love I owed to the old man Mu back then, I should ......also pay it back," the West Gate East Building walked to the edge of the ancient pavilion with his hand, looked at the peak in the distance, and said lightly: "In my life, I have seen the ebb and flow of the rivers and lakes, and I have also witnessed the change of dynasties. ”

Cai Lanting didn't get up, looked at the chess game in front of him, and said in a deep voice: "I look at this face, it is the fate of Fu Ding to suppress the dragon, if you once gain power, it will be like a dragon going to sea, and the rivers and lakes will be alive, but aren't you afraid that the world will be turned upside down when the time comes?"

Hearing this, the West Gate East Building laughed, "Haha...... Xiao Cai, Xiao Cai, you only have this point that the old man can't get used to, no wonder you stop at the way of heaven, because you follow the way of heaven, so you can't break the cage of the way of heaven, Sun Lao Wei can see more than you, and the old man can see more than you. ”

Cai Lanting was silent.

Ximen Donglou smiled, "This matter is so decided, how long will it take for you to set up the formation?"

"Three days is enough. ”

"Okay, three days later, I broke the shackles in Mu Linchun's body, fulfilled the last wish of the old man Mu before his death, and also repaid his love, so that he can also be blind under the nine springs, I don't owe anyone ...... in this life."
