Since he hadn't yet walked to the wine shop, it was already raining and the sky was clear, Wang Yanqing understood that the fate of seeing the old gentleman had not arrived, so he was not in a hurry to go to the wine shop, but walked slowly along the official road, listening to the book "Jiazi Mountain and River Travels" that Chunshui was reading, nodding occasionally with the same expression.

The book "Jiazi Mountains and Rivers Travel" held by Chun Shui was written by a down-and-out reader, who had traveled through mountains and rivers all his life, his realm was not high, his knowledge was not high, and even the level of writing articles was not high in Wang Yanqing's opinion. It's just that the feelings between the lines are sincere, but it is a good book, and in the end, even the name of the reader has not been handed down, there is only such a book to circulate in the world, Emperor Yanling loves this book very much, otherwise he would not personally pick it out and let the spring water take it away from the palace for Wang Yanqing to read.

After reading the last sentence of this book, he was not busy opening the new book, but went to find a water bladder, and after a few sips, he smiled softly: "Mr. seems to be in a bad mood these days, if it is said that the heavy rain before disturbed Mr., but now that the rain has passed, why is it still like this, is it possible that Mr. has some other plans in his heart." ”

Wang Yanqing smiled calmly: "I have been blind for many years, I can't see it when it rains, and I can't see it when the rain is clear. ”

Chunshui said softly: "Mr. also plays chess with himself, isn't it quite boring?"

When Wang Yanqing heard this, he just smiled slightly, and didn't say much, even the Yanling national player was not his opponent, where could he find an opponent in this dynasty who could match his chess strength, and who could he go down with if he didn't play with himself?

It's just that in addition to reading, the only hobby is to play chess, and the reader really wants to find an opponent with equal chess strength to compete.

But it's hard!

The carriage crossed a wooden bridge, and a pavilion appeared in front of it, and after walking for a long time, thinking that the horses were also tired, the groom turned his head and asked, "Mr. Wang, there is a gazebo in front, do you want to stop and rest for a while?"

Wang Yanqing nodded and agreed, "That's very good." ”

The carriage stopped next to the gazebo, Chunshui helped Wang Yanqing out of the carriage, came to the stone table in the pavilion and sat down, Wang Yanqing looked unwavering, stretched out his hand to comb his sideburns, since he was blind, this kind of thing to tidy up his sideburns can only rely on feeling, as for whether it has been sorted out, he actually doesn't know, after a while, Wang Yanqing turned his head to look at Chunshui with interest, and asked with a smile: "Can I get by with this face?"

Chunshui stretched out his hand to pin a few strands of mess on his forehead to the back of his ear for Wang Yanqing, and said with a smile: "Mr. is the best-looking person Chunshui has ever seen." ”

Wang Yanqing chuckled and said, "But how did I hear that the most beautiful man in our Yanling is in Luoyang City, haven't you seen it?"

Chunshui's face was slightly red, and he said in a low voice: "But Mr. looks the best when he laughs." ”

Wang Yanqing's face was slightly red, and he didn't say much.

The groom, on the other hand, simply went farther away, to find some fodder for the horse, and not to pay attention to what was going on in the pavilion, lest he be hurt.

But when the groom came to the river, he saw an old fellow standing in the distance, looking at him with a smile.

The groom was startled, and was about to speak, when he found that the old fellow was hanging in mid-air with his feet on the ground. The groom is not a monk, but he is also a figure that many monks deal with all day long, so he was not directly frightened, but just thought that there was such a water ghost in this small river?

He asked aloud, "Where are you a mountain spirit?"

In this way, he just wanted Wang Yanqing, a monk in the Taiqing Realm, to know what was going on.

The old guy stood in the distance for a while, ignoring this stupid groom, walked into the pavilion by himself, came to Wang Yanqing, put the things he was holding in his arms on the stone table, sat down by himself, and stared at Chunshui on the side, but the old guy didn't care, and he didn't pay attention to Chunshui's surprised expression, and said with a calm smile: "Wang Yanqing, how about you, the Yanling national player, talk to me about a game?"

Wang Yanqing "looked" ahead, his expression was a little dazed, in his perception, apart from this voice, he didn't know that there was another person in front of him.

The old guy waved his hand and said, "The old man is out of the body, how do you perceive this realm? On the contrary, it is not as good as an ordinary person, at least you can see the old man with your eyes open." ”

Out-of-body fugue!

Wang Yanqing quickly smiled with relief, such a senior who could get out of the fugue, where could a Taiqing Realm monk like him figure it out, he thought for a moment and said, "Presumably Mr. is the old gentleman in that wine shop, and the killing of the monks in the Northern Military Mansion before was the work of Mr."

The old Confucian who got out of his body by getting drunk smiled, "It turns out that the old man is not mistaken, your Wang Yanqing is now not only the first national player of Yanling, but also the worship of the Yanling Criminal Department, why, do you want to talk to the old man about reasoning?"

Wang Yanqing spread out the chessboard on the stone table and said with a smile: "What kind of reason does the old gentleman talk about in such a cultivation, it is only whether he can see whether he can make Mr. worry about it on the chess path." ”

The old Confucian pushed Bai Zi in front of Wang Yanqing, and said with an angry smile: "You Wang Yanqing really think that you are the first national player of Yanling?"

Wang Yanqing was noncommittal, but asked, "Mr. is in charge of black?"

The latter snorted and put a piece on the board.

Although Wang Yanqing said that he was blind, every time he played chess, someone told him the position of the other party, and then he memorized the positions on the chessboard of these chess pieces in his mind, and then he said that he was playing chess, but now there was only Chunshui next to him, so after the old Confucian put down the chess pieces, Chunshui quickly lowered his head and told Wang Yanqing the position of the sunspot.

After that, Wang Yanqing whispered, and only then did spring water put white seeds on the chessboard.

The old Confucian asked with a smile: "Wang Yanqing, this time out of Luoyang City, is it to track down the pair of young girls?"

Wang Yanqing said calmly: "His Majesty the Emperor's will is like this. ”

The old Confucian nodded, put down a sunspot, and then said: "The old man doesn't lie to you, the young man and the girl are in that wine shop, but the old man really can't let you take these two people back to Luoyang City." ”

Wang Yanqing's expression was calm, and he said, "I would like to hear the details." ”

The old Confucian smiled with satisfaction, the last thing he wanted in his life was to reason with unreasonable people, since this Yanling national player was willing to reason, he would reason with him.

"That girl is very big, it's not easy to provoke, of course, you Yanling has a school palace behind you, it's not that you don't dare to provoke at all, but if you really kill this girl, maybe the one behind you won't be so willing to reason with you like an old man. However, this is not a reason for you to give up, but the old man also knows that Yanling is really unreasonable. As for the young man, the old man had to protect him. ”

Wang Yanqing frowned and asked, "Why is this?"

The old Confucian smiled bitterly: "Seven years ago, when I was in the demon land, I met Chao Qingqiu. ”

Chao Qingqiu, as soon as these three words came out of the mouth of the old Confucian student, Wang Yanqing unconsciously held his breath and condensed, it was really because this name was too loud, if the names of other saints in the mountains and rivers were to make other monks feel admired, Chao Qingqiu's name was to listen to it and feel the need to be awe.

This sword immortal's killing qi is the first in the world, just killing people is enough to stand on the top of this mountain and river, the twelve saints in the mountains and rivers plus a few big demons of the demon land, who does not frown when they encounter the sword qi of this sword immortal?

The old Confucian said calmly: "The old man owes him a favor, so he silently decided in his heart to protect the descendants of this swordsman for him, in the past seven years, the young man is the first swordsman the old man has met, so he naturally has to fulfill his promise." In fact, in the case of Luosang River, this kid is only in the first realm, and he should not have a chance to make a move. ”

Wang Yanqing fell down and said with a calm smile: "It's okay, there is an old gentleman here, in fact, Wang Yanqing can't do anything." ”

The old Confucian was surprised and said, "It's so easy to talk?"

Wang Yanqing said calmly: "When I went out of Luoyang City, His Majesty the Emperor's will was very clear, do your best, if you can't stop it at the border, forget it, you don't have to chase it, and now there is an old gentleman to escort it, even if Wang Yanqing gives up his cultivation, he can't stop it, so what else can he stop, but the old gentleman's words, Wang Yanqing didn't dare to believe it, so he still wanted to see the young man's side." I wonder what the old gentleman thinks?"

The old Confucian nodded, but soon grimaced.

Wang Yanqing no longer let the spring water fall, and said with a smile: "It seems that although Yanqing's realm cultivation is not as good as that of the old man, his chess strength is still better than that of the old man." ”

The old Confucian looked ugly, in the chess game in front of him, the black man's side was killed, and the white man seemed to have not done his best.

The old Confucian praised from the bottom of his heart: "What a Wang Yanqing!"

——

At the end of the hand-to-hand talk in the pavilion, the old Confucian left alone, and Wang Yanqing returned to the carriage and asked the groom to drive the carriage to the wine shop.

Chunshui never knew why the strange old gentleman had come, and why he had disappeared now.

Wang Yanqing didn't say much, although the monks under the world are divided into three sects, and there is a line of swordsmen, but in fact, the realm is roughly the same, and those who have the ability to get out of the body and iQue show that they are at least monks in the twilight realm, since they are monks in the twilight realm, then he Wang Yanqing actually says a lot, and the truth can make people take it for granted, in fact, it is useless, reasoning is usually a matter of high realm to low realm, but now this situation, it is obvious that he Wang Yanqing is in the low realm, and the truth is always in the hands of the old Confucian student。

Driving the carriage to the liquor store, Wang Yanqing stepped out of the carriage and came to the dilapidated liquor store, sniffled, and asked with a smile, "Is there any wine?"

The middle-aged woman standing in front of the counter glanced at Wang Yanqing in surprise, and soon found that this good-looking man was actually blind, and she replied softly: "Yes." ”

Wang Yanqing didn't know the situation in the wine shop, walked a few steps, came to Li Fuyao, who was getting up, and said with a smile: "The rain has stopped, but can you please ask this son to stay for a while?"

Li Fu frowned and asked, "Why?"

Wang Yanqing said calmly: "There is one thing that needs to be asked by the two of you. ”

Without waiting for Li Fuyao to speak, Wang Yanqing said solemnly: "In Xia Wang Yanqing, now it is the Yanling Criminal Department to worship. ”

Li Fuyao's heart tightened, looked at this criminal department worship, and did not speak.

Forget Yanqing asked calmly: "On the bank of the Luosang River a month ago, more than a dozen monks of my Yanling died on the bank of that river, but did the two of them, or one of the two?"

Qinghuai frowned, and was about to step out, according to this person's idea, he was about to start fighting.

Li Fuyao grabbed her arm and replied calmly, "Yanling offended my Great Zhou, as a Zhou person, Fuyao naturally wanted to make a move, not only a dozen monks, but even the commander of the Chen State was killed by me." If Mr. wanted to investigate this matter, Fuyao would not have been able to sit still. ”

Wang Yanqing said with a smile: "It is reasonable to fight for the country. ”

Li Fu frowned and asked, "What does this move mean?"

Wang Yanqing didn't say what it was good or bad, but just asked Chunshui to take the game of chess, put it on the wooden table, and after sitting down, he said calmly: "The next game of chess, after playing, I will let you cross the border of Yanling, and I will go back to Luoyang City." ”

Li Fuyao sat down without hesitation and said a good word. For these Confucian monks, in fact, in his heart, some can be called scholars, and some can only be called monks, but it just so happened that he felt that the man in front of him was a real scholar, and he was the third scholar he met after meeting Huang Jin and the old Confucian students!

Before playing chess, he asked a question that Wang Yanqing had also asked before, "Mr. Black?"

Wang Yanqing shook his head and said very seriously: "No one in my chess power Yanling can beat it, if you are black, I am afraid that you will not last long." ”

Li Fuyao also said seriously: "But I like Baizi." ”

Wang Yanqing smiled and didn't say much, just asked Chunshui to take the sunspot and put one on the chessboard.

Then Li Fuyao thought for a long time before putting down a white piece on the chessboard very seriously.

Chunshui looked at Li Fuyao strangely, and then whispered something in Wang Yanqing's ear, who smiled dumbly, and was silent for a moment before going down.

This time, Li Fuyao thought about it for a long time before putting down the second white seed.

After Chunshui whispered something to Wang Yanqing's side for the second time, this time Wang Yanqing's expression became extremely strange, he shook his head and said softly: "This game of chess is not playable." ”

Li Fuyao raised his head, looking surprised.

The old Confucian stood up and came to watch the chess game, and found that Li Fuyao's play of these two moves was extremely unreasonable, and he didn't understand anything at all, and the old Confucian laughed angrily: "Li Fuyao, Wang Yanqing is the national player of Yanling, the first in the world in Yanling, and you are also the first, but the penultimate first!"

Wang Yanqing, who felt bored, stood up and sighed: "The most boring thing in the world is to play chess with the stinky chess basket. ”

Hearing this, the old Confucian laughed.

The corners of Qinghuai's mouth are hooked up in an arc.

The middle-aged woman had a smile on her face.

Li Fuyao reluctantly put down the chess pieces in his hand, he didn't say that he could play chess.

After a game of chess, Wang Yanqing walked out of the wine shop, but before stepping out of the door, the criminal department of Yanling said to the middle-aged woman: "The border is not very peaceful, if you are in peace and defend yourself, Wang Yanqing will naturally make it clear to the Northern Military Government and try his best to ensure your safety, but the premise of all this is on the premise that you are in peace and self-control, otherwise I will come out of Luoyang City again." ”

The middle-aged woman looked at the gentle-looking scholar, nodded and promised, "Okay." ”

Walk out of the wine shop, get into the carriage, and embark on the journey back to Luoyang City.

Chunshui sat in the carriage, looked at Wang Yanqing, and asked strangely, "Sir, why did you decide to go back to Luoyang City after playing a game of chess?"

Wang Yanqing said meaningfully: "Because he is a stinky chess basket." ”

Chunshui frowned, thinking to himself, sir, what is the truth of this?

——

In the wine shop, the old Confucian waved his hand impatiently and said: "Li Fuyao, don't ask too much, the old man is too lazy to tell you about this thing, you really want a reason, you can understand that the little girl next to you is really your nobleman, but in fact, the old man also believes that as long as this little girl wants to leave, she can't stop it, Wang Yanqing estimates that she can kill you by touching it." ”

Li Fuyao was speechless and choked.

The old Confucian rubbed his head and said with a smile: "Go to that sword mountain, the old man can't wait to see if you, this little guy, can one day make the old man feel that this hand is worth it." ”

Li Fuyao made a salute, and Qinghuai was about to leave, Qinghuai hesitated for a moment, and said to the old Confucian student: "My father mentioned that there is an old guy in this mountain and river, who has not read for a few days, but he always likes to walk around, the realm is not good, the wine is inferior, and the speech is unpleasant, but the only thing that is commendable is that this person is okay." ”

The words were clueless, and Li Fuyao was confused when he heard it.

The middle-aged woman was even more in a trance.

The old Confucian stood for a long time before he came to his senses, looked at the backs of these two little guys in the distance, and laughed quietly: "Your father's wine is really not very good, but the realm is high, and it makes sense to say anything." ”

After a long time, the old Confucian turned his head to look at the middle-aged woman, and suddenly smiled: "Shopkeeper, after eating that pill and healing the old wounds, go to the demon land, the old man has been in this wine shop for a long time, and the scenery of this mountain and river has not been finished, so you have to walk around while you are still moving." ”

The middle-aged woman said angrily: "It's okay to go, settle the wine money!"

The old Confucian said helplessly: "Shopkeeper, can you be reasonable, the old man has solved such a matter for you, and you are embarrassed to accept my money for those jars of wine?"

"How many jars?"

The middle-aged woman clasped her hands around her chest and said with a smile: "You can remember, that's sixteen jars of wine, a whole three hundred taels of silver! If you can get this silver now, I will let you go immediately!"

The old Confucian covered his forehead with his hands and muttered, "That's it, bring a few more jars of wine." ”

The middle-aged woman smiled and said, "What, you have money?"

The old Confucian said arrogantly: "No money, owe it first!"

The middle-aged woman tugged at the corners of her mouth, she had never seen such a matter of taking credit for granted.
