Chapter 43: The White Horse Approaches
There is a huge cave formed naturally in a mountain forest far away from Yangjiang City, named Lingxiao Rock, the scenery is extremely majestic and magnificent, and it is called "the first cave in the south".
There is a group of buildings located in Lingxiao Rock, the style is very simple and ancient, it has a history of 100 years, it is called "Hanmo Villa", and Wenqu Villa, Yulin Valley and called the three elegant places of martial arts.
In a certain house in the depths of the villa, Li Shuming held a white seed in his hand, looked at the chessboard in front of him and fell into thought, but Xu Tianying on the opposite side was not idle, staring at the chessboard firmly like him, and deducing the next chess path in his heart.
He wasn't in a hurry, and the longer his opponent thought about it, the more sure he became.
"Snap" was unexpected, and there was no regret. Li Shuming's move made Xu Tianying lose all the games, sighed, threw the sweaty sunspot in his hand back into the chessboard, and knocked his head in annoyance, "It's okay to lose to your 'book saint' in calligraphy, but I didn't expect that the chess strength is far inferior to you, Xu Mou is really 'careless'." ”
Li Shuming said with a smile, "Brother Xu doesn't have to blame himself, in terms of chess strength, the entire Wenqu Villa only loses one person in the game." ”
Xu Tianying didn't think about it, and asked curiously, "Oh, who is it?"
Li Shuming looked at him with a wicked smile, "Brother Xu, do you know why you and I are only one or two tricks?"
"Oh? ”
"Because Brother Xu, you don't want to think about it when you encounter something. ”
"Huh?"
"Brother Xu, do you think, if my chess strength is the first in Wenqu, then isn't the name of this 'chess saint' also mine?"
Xu Tianying reacted immediately, knocked his head with an embarrassed expression, and said with a smile, "My brain...... Of course, the chess strength that surpasses Brother Li is the 'chess saint' Mr. Bai. ”
While speaking, the two of them took back the black and white pieces on the chessboard, and after a while, the empty chessboard was restored, Li Shuming was about to play again, but Xu Tianying had already stood up, "I am not good at playing chess, and there are still affairs to deal with in the village, so I won't accompany Brother Li." ”
"Don't. Li Shuming hurriedly pulled his sleeve, "Brother Xu, why are you so stingy, why are you still angry when you laugh at you?"
Xu Tianying waved his hand again and again, "Brother Li's words are serious, and there are important things to do, unlike Brother Li, who has no worries." ”
"Brother Xu is laughing at me when he says that. Since I entered this Yangjiang, the poor people of every household have lined up to see me, and I have taken all this bit of entanglement to the pharmacy......
Xu Tianying smiled knowingly and called a disciple in, "Go and get a hundred taels of silver." ”
Seeing that the disciple ran away without looking back, Li Shuming hurriedly said, "Brother Xu, what are you doing, I didn't come to ask you for money." ”
Xu Tianying smiled helplessly, "Brother Li, don't meet with me." And this silver, is what Brother Li deserves, the inferior thief caused the disaster of breaking his hand a few days ago, fortunately Brother Li was diagnosed and treated, this hundred taels is just used as a medical fee, to express his heart. ”
As he spoke, the disciple came with a tray carrying ten ingots, and Li Shuming was very embarrassed and said, "This, this, this...... This is too much, I deserve it, how can I be embarrassed to let Brother Xu spend so much......" As he spoke, he put the ingots on the tray into his money bag, and after speaking, the silver was also finished.
"Brother Li, you really have something to do here, please take care of yourself. ”
Just about to leave, he heard Li Shuming say, "Slow down, Brother Xu." ”
"Brother Li, what's the matter?"
Li Shuming held a folding fan in his hand, slowly paced in front of him, and said meaningfully, "Brother Xu, the fight between several of your senior disciples and Nangong disciples a few days ago was a young man's nonsense, and I ask Brother Xu not to worry about it." ”
Xu Tianying knew that his visit this time was not so simple, and sure enough, the purpose was here, and he smiled and said, "Brother Li is too worried, he is not a stingy person, but whether this matter is stopped or not, it is not up to you and me to have the final say, let the young people settle the accounts themselves." All I can do is to prevent them from causing trouble for no other reason. Right or wrong, just leave it to the Martial Arts Conference a month later to slowly settle the score. ”
At this point, Li Shuming couldn't say anything more.
"Report!" Outside the door, a disciple ran quickly and said to Xu Tianying, "Tell Master, Nangong disciples Mu Fan and Fu Jianyin have come to the door." ”
"Hmph, that's really what you said. Xu Tianying snorted coldly, waved his hand and said, "Let them wait outside the door." ”
They obviously came to make amends, Xu Tianying's approach was just to embarrass them, Li Shuming knew it, although the gas was a little smaller, but this was also reasonable. After all, Na Mu Fan cut off one of Xu Tianying's beloved hands, and he had already stated just now that he would definitely not be able to beat him when he met, and it would be considered out of anger to let them stand at this time, and Li Shuming would not be able to persuade him again.
"Come, Brother Li, I'll play another game with you. ”
This is obviously for himself, Li Shuming sat back in front of the chessboard with tears and laughter, and picked up a white piece.
Xu Tianying was about to leave his son, and when he saw that the disciple was still here, he said strangely, "Why don't you go yet?"
The disciple replied, "That...... That Mu Fan said, 'If the master of your house asks us to wait, ask him what is the matter.' ’。 ”
Xu Tianying sneered, "He is self-aware. When you tell him, you just say that I have a lot of business to do and I don't have time to see him. As he spoke, he fell behind, and was thinking about the future chess path, but he caught a glimpse of the disciple still standing there, "What?"
The disciple was a little embarrassed, and his face was full of embarrassment, "Master...... Na Mu Fan also said, 'If the master of your family says that he has something to do, let him open the door first and let them in, how can such a big Hanmo Sword Gate be such hospitality!'"
He relayed it vividly, and even his tone and demeanor made people feel that Mu Fan's kid was there.
Xu Tianying's face changed slightly, and he blocked his throat in one breath, and said, "You tell him that I am sleeping, and you don't dare to disturb me, so let them stay honest!"
As soon as he glanced at the chessboard, he said impatiently, "Don't leave yet?!" But looking at this disciple's twisting appearance, he obviously has something to say, "What did he say again?!"
"Disciple...... The disciple didn't dare to say. ”
"You say! That's what he said, it's none of your business! I'd like to see what else he can say!"
"Yes...... He said, 'If the master of your house says he's sleeping, then I'll laugh, he's so happy, and the apprentice has broken his hand, and he can still sleep in broad daylight?'"
Xu Tianying's face turned like a pig's liver, "I still don't believe it, this person can really predict the prophet? You just say that I am sick! I am already sick and faint!"
He ...... He really thought of it, 'If the master of your family says that he is sick, let Mr. Li, who is proficient in medical skills, treat him well, and if he can't be saved, let him die, you call Mr. Li out, we are mainly here to find him!'"
"How can this be reasonable!" Xu Tianying was furious, and the case was slapped, and Li Shuming on the side was about to laugh out loud, he wanted to give him a dismount, but he didn't expect to be rectified without a temper, and he also wanted Li Shuming to see Mu Fan's joke, but he didn't expect it to become his own joke, "How can he know everything?
The disciple wanted to speak and stopped, Xu Tianying's eyes widened, "What, he even expected this?!"
"No, no, no...... It's just that the female disciple named Fu Jianyin also asked the same question as the master, and Na Mu Fan replied with a very strange word. ”
"What?"
"He said, 'That's how the villains in TV dramas play. ’”
"TV series?" Xu Tianying was stunned, "This person has been talking nonsense all day long, I didn't expect that the dignified Southern Fairy would find such a fool as an apprentice!" As he spoke, he looked at his apprentice and said with a sneer, "You have a good memory." ”
The disciple blushed and scratched his head in shame.
Li Shuming couldn't help but smile, "Brother Xu, since he expected everything, and Brother Xu, if you don't have any other excuse, it's better to let them in." ”
Xu Tianying was angry and said directly, "You tell him that I am angry, and let them stay outside just to punish him, let him wait if he wants to wait, and if he doesn't want to wait, go back to Longquan Mountain!"
This is a very straightforward statement, without a trace of reason or excuse, but it is also the most difficult to refute.
The disciple finally had nothing to say, bowed down, turned his head and went out to report back.
"Hehe, Brother Xu, this Mu Fan is really different. ”
Xu Tianying knew that he was laughing at himself, so he didn't have a good temperament, "It's just an arrogant boy, he thinks he is smart, and he is arrogant, I will definitely want him to look good at the Martial Arts Conference!"
Li Shuming knew that his lungs were about to explode, and he usually scolded him with one sentence and one sentence, who knew that this Mu Fan expected every sentence of his, "Brother Xu, this is not an ordinary little clever." This is the deduction technique of 'one step down and three steps' in the game. He only lost one son, and he has already deduced every move of Brother Xu, such a smart person, his chess strength must not be weak. If you have the chance, you'd like to play against him. ”
Xu Tianying's face was extremely bad, and he unconsciously crushed the sunspot in his hand, "Even if he can deduce, now if I don't follow the routine, he won't be able to fight back!"
Indeed, if they were playing against each other just now, then the last sentence would be equivalent to forcibly capturing all the opponent's chess pieces, and leaving a sentence of "I just like to play like this, you can play if you want, and if you don't want to play, you can roll!"
I have to say that such an approach is really insulting.
As he was talking, the disciple came back, and Xu Tianying asked, "How is it, what else does he have to say?"
He said...... If Master doesn't let them in, you will definitely regret it. ”
Xu Tianying slapped the table, "Arrogant! Too arrogant! He still dares to threaten me! I want to see what he can do to me!"
The disciple then said, "Master, Bishop Ding is here. ”
"What?" Xu Tianying was stunned and didn't react, "When did you arrive?"
"Just now, when the disciple went to reply, it happened that Bishop Ding also came to visit. ”
Xu Tianying's face immediately changed, "Don't care about that arrogant kid for now, follow me to meet Bishop Ding!"
"That...... Bishop Ding has come in. ”
Xu Tianying had already expected it, and hurriedly took the disciples out to greet him.
When he came to the school field outside the gate, he saw Bishop Ding followed by Bai Ma Xiao and Fu Jianyin, and actually followed a beggar-looking person, Xu Tianying was wondering why the disciples guarding the door let them in, so he heard Bishop Ding say angrily from afar, "Xu Tianying, you are so bold, you actually dare to turn away the apostle saint of my sect?!"
Xu Tianying didn't know what was going on for a while, but he clearly felt regret.
