Su Ci has always disliked staying up late to practice, but this time he took the initiative to choose to stay up late to practice.

The result was that he finally entered the first realm of the return of ten thousand rivers.

When the rooster broke dawn, Su Ci didn't feel very sleepy, and after some washing, he had a simple breakfast with Lu'er and continued to practice.

On Mount Cebu, Wu Lingxiu taught the Taichu Chu Method, but along with the Tai Chu Chu Method, there was also a set of body techniques and two sets of martial arts.

The primordial cloud step, the primordial realm and the primordial finger.

After going down the mountain, he was also very busy, and he didn't have time to go to enlightenment, and now Kong Ling didn't allow him to go out, just to cultivate, and to prepare for the Yushan chess meeting the day after tomorrow.

didn't go to see Old Man Yi, Su Ci only let gradually Wushu take the words to the Baizi Academy.

Then he started practicing in the courtyard, and when he came back, he was directly pulled in as a sparring partner.

In this way, Su Ancestral Hall spent two days in a boring and boring practice.

Gradually, Wushu was also ruthlessly dragged by him for two days of cultivation life, only Lu'er was really relaxed like a deer in the forest, Su Minmin read books every day, and then asked Lu'er to go shopping.

In the past two days, many people from all over the county have come to Baizi County to participate in the Yushan Chess Club, but in the past two days, Su Ci has not heard anything outside the window, so he doesn't know.

On the third day, the Yushan Chess Club officially began.

Because Su Ci had already rejected the owner of the Baizi Academy, there was no need for him to follow the students of the Baizi Academy early in the morning.

It wasn't until the first day of the year that Su Ci slowly got up and began to wash.

But gradually Wushu had urged him several times, and he was not in a hurry at all.

"A big man is still so verbose, no matter how you clean it up, you can still make a flower, and it's not a blind date," as soon as he went out, Su Temple was gradually lost in the book.

Lu'er was snickering on the side, Su Minmin looked at him with a light smile and said, "My brother has been practicing penance for two days, and he should sleep more today." ”

Su Ci rubbed her head and said affectionately: "It's still my sister who feels the most sorry for me." ”

Gradually, Wushu glanced at him and said, "Even if he is also a penance, he doesn't dare to poke the thistle terrestris when he practices a primordial finger." ”

Su Ci didn't want to pay attention to him and said, "It's good if you're happy." ”

"Hmph,"

"Lu'er, today I'll take you to Yushan to enjoy the plum blossoms," he grabbed Lu'er's hand and walked out of the house.

......

Yushan was three miles west of the city, and Su Ci directly bought a carriage and soon arrived at Yushan.

Looking up at the mountains, you can vaguely see pedestrians walking on the mountain road, the weather is excellent today, the morning breeze is slightly cool, the morning sun is rising in the east, and the sky is clear.

The emerald green mountains are dotted with flowers and colors, and there is a river at the foot of the jade mountain, and the mountains and rivers are parallel, as if the soul has been washed by the flowing river.

At this time, the chess club has already begun, but because it is open-ended, there will be a steady stream of people.

However, with the Xilin people coming here to preside, few people will be late.

As we all know, Xilin people attach the most importance to etiquette, and no one wants to offend a Haoran Wenshi of Wanxian Realm.

Surrounded by a plum forest, there are many literati and scholars standing in the middle, or in piles of three or five, or in a single figure, some around the central chessboard, and some on the periphery to watch the painter's painting.

The plum blossom is in full bloom, the fragrance is overflowing, the flower color is white and red, and the petals are smooth and transparent, like a valuable pearl.

Plum blossoms bloom early and late, and even on the same plum tree, you can see a variety of forms.

This plum grove is halfway up the mountain, and the terrain here is open, so it is not a problem to accommodate four or five hundred people.

Between the plum groves are a number of white jade tables with chessboards carved on them, and two stone statues holding chess pieces on either side.

At this time, someone has already sat down and started to play, outside the plum forest, dozens of steps up the mountain, full of greenery, vines climbing, there is a cloister ancient pavilion.

One of the ancient pavilions stood on the cliff, and there was a gray-haired old man who dropped the chess pieces in his hand and said, "Hasn't the Su Temple arrived yet?"

The scholar behind him said, "Not yet." ”

Playing against him was a middle-aged man with a face like a crown of jade and a scarf on his head.

He took a long test before dropping the chess pieces in his hand.

"My little uncle wants to give the old man a dismount," the white old man touched his long white beard and smiled, as if he was joking.

Everyone didn't expect that this time the imperial court sent the largest academy in Zhaonan Prefecture, and Bai Xiuxi, the dean of Tiannan Academy, came to preside over this Yushan chess meeting.

Tiannan College is the largest college in Banan and even in Nanzhong, if Yuyuan College does not have Gu Fen as the dean, then it may not be comparable to Tiannan College.

Bai Xiuxi is only one generation lower than Su in Xilin, as an old scholar who is dedicated to studying the science of Xilin, not only the people of Xilin respect him, but also many people of Donglin will not speak ill of him.

Perhaps this is why the imperial court sent such a person here, after all, the seniority of the Su Temple is really too high.

The middle-aged man said, "The disciples of the Holy Master will definitely not be like this, I think there is something delayed." ”

Bai Xiuxi's laughter was a little hoarse, very affectionate.

Without thinking too much, he dropped the chess pieces in his hand and looked at the center of the plum forest at the foot of the mountain.

An old man and a young man are playing against each other on the central chessboard, and the old man is the old man who played chess in the last Yushan chess meeting, his face is a little haggard, and the blade of the years is also vividly expressed on his face.

The withered fingers picked up a white chess piece, then glanced at the young man opposite, and sighed softly: "The young man is a hero." ”

"Counting this year, Liu Lao has participated in the Yushan Chess Club for the tenth time," the middle-aged man introduced to Bai Xiuxi: "Since the chess meeting nine years ago, Liu Lao has won the chess championship three times in a row, and I don't know if this year can continue to be brilliant." ”

Bai Xiuxi smiled and asked, "That young man is from Jiang Nanxiang's family, right?"

"Yes, his name is Xiang Wanyun," the middle-aged man replied, "Although it is not in the same vein as the old lady, it is also the orthodox bloodline of the Xiang family, and it should become a strong competitor to the next head of the Xiang family." ”

"Having such attainments in the chess path at a young age is already a superior asset," Bai Xiuxi praised: "But his cousin was only recommended to Kyoto by the Yiye School Palace, and he is even more outstanding in cultivation talent, I heard that the old lady Xiang loves his only grandson alone, if this young man really has the heart to compete for the position of the head of the family, I am afraid it will be extremely difficult." ”

The middle-aged man knew very well that Bai Xiuxi was telling the truth, and set his eyes on a painter on the side.

These painters are equipped with a Tianyantong, and each of the white jade chessboards in the Merlin below also has a Tianyantong, and with this thing, the painters can see the situation on the chessboard.

So that they can be drawn and given a look at chess, which can also be used as a chess game later.

At this point, the game is at the end of the game, but the people around them are only in the middle game at the moment when they are playing chess almost at the same time.

The middle-aged man said: "This kid is quick to think and thinks very quickly. ”

Bai Xiuxi said with a smile: "He has taken the initiative since he fell into chess, and he has not taken the long test once until now, but Liu Xian has taken the long test several times, and he is under a lot of psychological pressure now." ”

The rules of the chess club are very simple, each player does not have a specific position, as long as they come here, they can take the initiative to challenge whoever you want to challenge.

Xiang Wanyun is exactly like this, when the chess meeting started, he went directly to Liu Xian and took the initiative to challenge.

Liu Xian won the chess championship three times in a row, and his reputation has long spread out of Zhaonanzhou, and the chess players in the entire Nanzhong region are even more well-known.

In Xiang Wanyun's opinion, as long as he defeats this old Mr. Liu, then the chess championship is basically a sure thing.

This was the first time he had participated in the chess meeting, because the family elders provided the championship reward for this chess crown, not only the magic weapon Nebula chessboard, but also the opportunity to enter the palace and enter the inner court.

The family learned from the court that His Majesty was looking for a young chess player to enter the palace, and I heard that His Majesty wanted to play chess, but he disliked that people who were too old could not talk to him, but the young chess skills were too poor, so His Majesty set his sights on the Yushan Chess Club.

When he learned that the person presiding over it was Dean Tiannan, he was even more convinced of this.

Although the Xiang family is a big family, since the old lady Xiang returned to his hometown from the court, his strength in the court has been greatly weakened, and it has even reached the verge of collapse.

In order to compete for the position of the head of the family, if he can enter the inner court and serve His Majesty, then his hope of competing for the position of the head of the family will be even higher.

Although the old lady Xiang loves Xiang Wanfeng alone, the rules of the Xiang family are like this, the head of the family needs to be elected within the family, but Xiang Wanfeng's talent in cultivation is too outstanding, which makes many people think that Xiang Wanfeng will inevitably become the head of the Xiang family.

He studied Liu Xian's chess games every time in Yushan, and his chess game was centered on stable characters, and he was good at taking steps as a camp and advancing slowly.

And he did the opposite, the sword went sideways, the road was dangerous, and he always fell where he least thought it would, which made Yoo Xian, who was known for his stability, always confused to think about whether he had a deep meaning.

There were quite a few people who were watching chess on the periphery who suddenly fainted to the ground, and then were carried away, like an ordinary plum blossom falling, and no one cared.

In the course of practice, there are many people who enter the Tao with chess and practice chess.

Most of the people who can come here are also such people, and it is definitely a good thing to watch Liu Xian's chess, and his chess path is very stable and not easy to hurt.

But Xiang Wanyun's next few moves were indeed dangerous, and his edge was exposed.

It can be said that Yoo Hyun was still on par with him a moment ago and was in a stalemate, but after he fell a few chess, Yoo Hyun had already lost the upper hand.

Click.

Without any thought, it seems that it has been clouded by the cloud.

"Poof!" Suddenly, one of them spat out a mouthful of blood, and then fell to the ground.

Bai Xiuxi's voice suddenly came from above: "The road of cultivation is long, don't force it, force it into chess." ”

The three of them just arrived, and they were smelling the fragrance of flowers, but suddenly blood was sprinkled in front of their eyes, which was really a bad scenery.

Lu'er was even more shocked.

"Who just started with such a big battle. ”

Su Ci walked outside the plum forest with the three daughters, and many crowds surrounded a painter.

"Who is this?" asked Su Ci directly.

The man was very disgusted by Su Ci's impolite behavior, and then said, "Mr. Liu and the son of the Xiang family. ”

Su Ci was slightly shocked, but who is this Xiang family's son?
