In the afternoon, the sun is just right.

Beiliang City was as noisy as usual, unaffected by last night's snowy night.

There are many business rangers who come and go, and although they have thick clothes to wear in autumn, they are far from enough compared to today's weather.

A snow made the shopkeepers who ran clothing shops in the city bend over, and they really made a lot of money.

Jiang Xiaoman and the three of them were playing all the way, but they didn't know that it was already noon, and they were really hungry at this time.

"Jiang Xiaoworm, what about the rouge chicken?" the little girl tugged at the boy's sleeve pitifully, and her big eyes blinked brightly in the sun.

"You eat the most in the morning, and you dare to shout hungry!" Jiang Xiaoman's fingertips pointed at Ji Xiaoyue's smooth head, and scolded with a smile: "Beware of becoming a little fat pig, you can't get married!"

"I hate it!" Ji Xiaoyue patted Jiang Xiaoworm's finger angrily, and pouted: "I'm so slim, I won't get fat no matter how I eat!"

Although she said this, the little girl's eyes involuntarily fell on her little belly.

She doesn't want to be called fat by this guy Jiang Xiaoworm!

Miss Xiao shook her head, covered her mouth and chuckled: "Little Moon is the slimmer, not fat at all." ”

"Really?" Ji Xiaoyue blinked her big eyes, quietly raised her hand and pinched her little belly, and muttered, "But how do I feel that I have gained weight for so long!"

Jiang Xiaoman rubbed the little girl's head and chuckled: "Okay! Don't get entangled, you're not fat at all, if you don't hurry up later, there will be no place in the Moon Tower, but you really can't eat the most authentic rouge chicken." ”

"I'm not entangled!" Ji Xiaoyue turned her head and whispered with a little weakness.

One side of the water and soil supports the other side of the people, and different regions also have different cuisines.

If you want to talk about the three states in the north, in terms of eating alone, the most famous is the famous three unique in the southern region.

This first must belong to the rouge chicken of Liangzhou.

And the rouge chicken cooked by the Moon Tower, which has only risen in recent years in Beiliang City, is the first in Liangzhou.

It is rumored that the chef in Mochizuki House is a pretty cook who covers her face with a thin gauze and never shows her true face.

There are scholars who have good things in Beiliang City, and they once referred to the three unique names in the north and also gave the pretty chef with an unknown surname in the Moon Tower a three-unique nickname.

said that there are three uniques in the Mochizuki Tower.

A rouge chicken, the chicken belly hides old wine, and the meat is fat but not greasy.

The second is called a pretty chef, with a graceful posture covering a light veil, and a peerless face.

Three said that the cook is half old, the charm still exists, if anyone can become a guest in his skirt, he can compete with the living immortals, even if he is a ghost.

It's a bastard, but the scholar named 'Yan Chi Ji' was once in high school, but in just three years, he has become an official and a powerful minister in the temple of Great Xia in the Southern Regions.

These three unique elegances have also risen with this 'Lord Yan' who is now proud of the spring breeze in Yandi City.

And the Moon Tower has become a golden signboard in Beiliang City.

Now, regardless of whether he is a traveler from the south to the north or a literati and ink traveler who travels to study, whenever he passes through Beiliang City, he must go to the Moon Tower to sit down, taste the rouge chicken, and take a look at the pretty cook who covers her face with a light veil.

If you are bolder, you will naturally have a big drama of 'My Fair Chef and Gentleman'.

Among them, there will naturally be the sloppy people who touch the chickens and teasing the dogs in the Beiliang City, but more of them are the famous high-rollers in the rivers and lakes and the jade-faced scholars who are full of wealth.

It's just that since the opening of the Moon Tower, in the past five or six years, I have never heard of anyone who can really succeed.

Two years ago, there was the notorious flower thief Yan Nanfei who was unparalleled in the world and attacked the Moon Tower at night, and on the second day, the Tsing Yi Xiao Er in the building carried the body of the severed head to the Yamen of Beiliang City.

One stone stirs up a thousand waves, Yan Nanfei is not an ordinary character, seriously calculated as one of the few ruthless characters in this world who can appear on the "Kyushu Dakou List" in the name of picking flowers.

has been famous for many years, and is the best at stealing incense and jade, and has been hunted down by the Great Zhou Wu clan in the Western Regions for three years, and there is nothing to be done.

But he didn't want to, just because he was curious, he lost his life in the Beiliang Moon Tower.

From this, it is not difficult to see that the pretty chef in this Moon Tower, who has set the 'Three Uniques of Beiliang', is not as weak as it seems, a demon flower with a deadly poisonous kiss.

Jiang Xiaoman led the two girls to the front of the Moon Tower, but before they entered the building, they were attracted by a slightly hoarse voice.

"This little brother is still here, I don't know if I can play a game of chess with the old man, and it is not too late to enter the Moon Tower. ”

Jiang Xiaoman turned around, only to see that the owner of the voice was an old man with a somewhat rickety head wearing a hat, squatting under the wall not far from the front of the building, unable to see his face clearly, and his silver hair was like snow, scattered over his shoulders through the dilapidated hat.

In front of the old man was a tattered chessboard with missing four sides.

On it, the two sons of black and white are intertwined with each other, and the stars are densely packed, outlining a strange endgame of a white python swallowing a black dragon.

"Old man, are you calling me?" Jiang Xiaoman looked at the little old man, and then at the tattered chessboard in front of the old man, and then pointed to himself with some uncertainty and asked softly.

"Ginger worm, let's go. Ji Xiaoyue seemed to be a little afraid of this old man who looked much like a beggar, so she hid behind Jiang Xiaoman, dragged the corner of Jiang Xiaoman's clothes, and whispered.

Although Xiao Ying didn't speak, her brows were slightly furrowed.

She is the master of the Chixiao Sword, and she has learned the Zen Zhiyang Gong method, and she has a body that is extremely yin and cold, so she is the most sensitive to the evil qi in the world.

Now, in this old man, Xiao Ying can obviously feel a breath that makes her extremely uncomfortable.

Even, this breath made her afraid and instinctively wanted to escape.

Chixiao, the divine sword in the sheath on his waist, trembled slightly, and he was restless.

"Jiang Gongzi ......"

Xiao Ying looked at the young man in front of him and stopped talking.

"Naturally, I'm calling you, little brother, otherwise who else could it be?" The little old man lowered his head, smiled, and said softly: "Little old man, little brother, the river of life behind you is as vast as a cloud, and there is a trend of purple qi coming from the east, which is unspeakably expensive." Come to think of it, it must be someone who I have been waiting for a long time to be able to solve this endgame, but I don't know if the little brother can accompany the little old man to finish this game, and it is not in vain that I have been waiting for the little brother for more than a month. ”

Jiang Xiaoman knew that the old man was not lying.

Because, he noticed that although the old man was squatting, the lower half of his body was completely buried in the snow.

Not only that, but the old man's head and coat were covered with a thick layer of snow.

Only the dilapidated chessboard did not have a trace of snow on it.

After a long groan, Jiang Xiaoman nodded lightly and said: "Since the old gentleman invited, he is a boy who can afford to look up to the kid, so naturally he doesn't dare to refuse, but it's a pity that the kid is only a little bit of chess, and he will disappoint the old gentleman in the future." ”

In the chess road, the '36 families of Kyushu' have a lot of involvement, and the four families of soldiers and Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism are the most.

Among them, the layout of the soldiers' chess is about sophistry and domineering, Confucianism is about righteousness, Zen Buddhism is about harmony, and Taoism is good at strangeness.

Although Lin Mei is the lord of the demon clan, she has been taught by Emperor Liu since she was a child, and she is extremely proficient in Confucianism and Taoism, especially like Go, and her own chess skills are mostly influenced by Confucianism and Taoism.

And Jiang Yao, when he was young, pursued Confucianism and Taoism, and later entered the border to command the army and held the method of the soldier, the chess style is naturally extremely domineering and treacherous.

When the husband and wife have nothing to do at home, they like to cook a pot of tea, sit in front of the lotus pond, under the old tree, and kill time with Go pieces.

Sometimes, a game of chess can be a day, but it is also quite interesting.

Jiang Xiaoman and Jiang Mo separated from the two, and they liked to sit in front of their knees on the left and right, and gradually learned good chess skills subtly.

Jiang Moli followed Lin Mei, was very good at layout, and was full of strange tricks.

As for Jiang Xiaoman, his chess style is more like Jiang Yao, domineering and deceitful.

It is humbling to say that he is not good at chess and has no art.

If you are really not good at chess, how can you see the endgame of the treacherous and abnormal 'white python swallowing black jiao' on the chessboard at a glance.

The little old man tightened the cloak he was wearing, straightened the hat he was wearing on his head, raised his head and said with a smile: "It's okay, you just need to follow your heart, you don't need to worry too much." ”

Jiang Xiaoman finally saw the old man's face clearly, which can be said to be extremely ordinary, with a square face and a big ear and a garlic nose.

There is only one pair of eyes, but it is hard to forget as long as you look at it.

It turned out to be like the broken chessboard in front of him, a gray color full of life, and there were no pupils.

In the gloom, there are two pale silver swirls hidden, as if a person can be ingested in them at a glance.

Jiang Xiaoman just glanced at him, and then felt a splitting headache, as if even the deepest hidden secrets in his heart were about to be seen through, and he quickly looked away.

This little old man is not as old as he looks, and his cultivation is not good, and he is by no means an idle person.

If it weren't for the certainty that no one in Beiliang City could hurt himself in the slightest, Jiang Xiaoman would definitely lead the two girls to run away at this time.

The old man has death hidden in his eyes, and if he can have such a terrifying pupil technique, he doesn't need to guess to know that it must be the demon path giant of this world, but he doesn't know what the purpose of waiting for himself here is?

As he said, just to play a game of chess, Jiang Xiaoman naturally wouldn't believe it.

Not even a three-year-old would believe it.

What's more, Jiang Xiaoman himself is not a three-year-old child.

"You don't have to be so nervous, you can see that the old man has no malice. The little old man seemed to have guessed the boy's thoughts, and stood up from the snowdrift, trembling and shaking off the snow, and his gray eyes returned to normal in an instant, and they were as clear as a child, without the slightest vicissitudes.

The old man smiled kindly, looked at Jiang Xiaoman and said softly: "Ming people don't say dark words, and many people like to call me a chess demon." In the eyes of the world, the exercises practiced by the old decay can be called demon skills, and the old decay belongs to the demon cult in the eyes of the world, but the people who have killed in this life are all the people who should be killed, and they have never killed anyone by mistake, nor have they killed anyone in vain. Seriously, the old man can be regarded as a pure and good person. The little brother and the two girls are both blessed and noble people, and the old man naturally has no intention of being an enemy of you, just to be able to play a game is enough. ”

"Chess Demon?" Xiao Ying's face changed slightly, and she couldn't help but lose her voice: "Could it be that you are the chess demon among the four flag masters of qin, chess, calligraphy and painting in this life of Hunting Immortal Mountain?"
