I Xiaoxing overnight, not a day arrived at the drum mountain, Mr. Su Xinghe is famous in the martial arts, I inquired, this afternoon, finally found the small valley where Su Xinghe is located, only to see the pine and cypress, a stream around a few old wooden houses, under the pine tree in front of the door, a big stone carved a chessboard, if you don't know earlier, I really can't believe that there is no cliff such a martial arts master living in seclusion in this simple place

I stepped forward to call the door and said loudly: "Late Zhao Qing, ask to see Mr. Su Xinghe"

After a while, a middle-aged scholar walked out of the opening of the banmen, looked at me vigilantly, and said: "Your Excellency is also a fellow martial artist, dare to ask what sect and faction it is, and what are you doing to find Su seniors?"

I bowed my hand and said: "Xiaosheng came from Shouzhou, he doesn't know martial arts, he is not a martial arts person, he only loves to play chess in his life, and he made a wish to visit the world's Go masters.

The scholar showed a look of surprise, suddenly his body shook slightly, and instantly arrived in front of me, this time it was really fast, originally he was still five or six meters away from me, but I only felt a flower in front of me, and I didn't even see his movements clearly, his left shoulder was grabbed by him, and half of his body was suddenly sore, and he couldn't move anymore

I was suddenly shocked, thinking that this is the strength of a martial arts master, it is really powerful, and just about to struggle, the scholar has already let go and retreated, and said: "You really don't know martial arts at all, are you really just here to play chess?"

I rubbed my sore shoulder and said, "Naturally, I came here to play chess, I have met countless chess friends, and no one has ever been so unkind as you have met as soon as we met."

The scholar looked apologetic and said: "There are many offences in the right talent, please don't be surprised, where did you know that Su senior's chess skills are exquisite? You must know that his old man has not been out of this valley for decades, let alone playing chess with outsiders, it is said that there are very few people who know, Su has a big opponent, insidious and vicious, and does everything, we have to be more careful."

I said casually: "I played chess with a white-bearded old man a few days ago, he told me, maybe he is an old acquaintance of Su's predecessors, by the way, I don't know the name of Mr."

The scholar said: "Under the surname Xue, the cursive word Muhua"

Why are Hangu Bayou also there, aren't they all expelled by Su Xinghe, I'm a little strange, and later I learned that Su Xinghe didn't really fire them, but he was worried that they would be harmed by the old monster of the stars, so he pretended to expel them from the school, because the old monster of the stars had not come to the Central Plains for a long time, so the eight friends of Hangu secretly took turns to come back to serve the master, but they were commensurate with their predecessors, and this time happened to be Xue Muhua and Fan Bailing on duty

Doctor Xue is a famous person in the rivers and lakes, and he is the object of countless martial arts people, but it is naturally nothing to me, a traverser, after Xue Muhua saw that he said his name, I didn't say anything special, and I became more and more convinced that I was not from the rivers and lakes, and said: "Senior Su is inconvenient to see guests at this time, but my senior brother Fan Bailing has followed Senior Su to learn chess since I was a child, although my chess skills are not as good as Su's seniors, but they are not far behind, Xiaoyou is willing to play a game with my senior brother first?"

Su Xinghe is really not so easy to see, even if it is in the name of chess, just like a nameless boy in reality who wants to go to Nie Weiping to play chess, it is naturally not easy, I also expected this situation, and it is not bad to prove his strength in the next game with Fan Bailing, so I said: "It is also an honor for the younger generation to play chess with Mr. Fan"

Xue Muhua shouted into the wooden house: "Senior Brother Fan, a young chess friend has come to visit, why don't you come out quickly?"

An old voice came out of the house: "What chess friend, don't you know that I haven't mentored junior chess players for many years, no, no, let him go back"

Xue Muhua said: "Senior Brother Fan, people are from Shouzhou all the way, it's not good for you to even see each other."

After a while, a tall black-bearded old man walked out of the house, thinking that it was Fan Bailing, who was the best at Go among the eight friends of Hangu, he looked me up and down, nodded and said: "Well, you are young, you can travel far away from your hometown for chess, this hard work is also rare, today I will make an exception and play a game of chess with you."

Fan Bailing led me to the chessboard made of big stones, placed three black pieces on the chessboard, picked up the white chess pieces himself, and said, "I'll play a game of chess with you to let the three sons guide me."

When I saw him so big, I couldn't help but feel angry, and said, "How do you know that you can give me three sons? I don't think the person who can make my third son does not exist in this world."

Fan Bailing said: "Young man, don't be too proud, maybe you are in your hometown of Shouzhou really rare opponents, but this is Henan Mansion, is the place where the East and West Erjing are located, the small place in Shouzhou is incomparable, ten years ago I played against your first master in Shouzhou, when I let him have two sons, I let you have three sons in this game of chess, if you can not lose, then as a young man is enough to be proud"

I said: "The so-called No. 1 master in Shouzhou you said, maybe it's just a vain name, it can't be counted, it's hard to say which of the two of us is strong and who is weak, let's take a look at the next game first."

Fan Bailing decided that I was not qualified to play chess with him first, and insisted on letting me have three sons, and the two sides could not play for a while, and finally Fan Bailing said: "You can play chess with me if you want to, but then you must have a lottery head."

Oh, I remember, ancient chess players are not the same as modern amateur chess players, most of them play chess, and each game has to make some bets, which is called Caitou

Fan Bailing said again: "If I am to guide the juniors, of course I don't need any lottery heads, but since you want to play chess with me on an equal footing, then the lottery heads are indispensable, how about we bet a hundred taels of silver in this game of chess?"

I don't even have ten taels of silver on me, I looked up and saw the strange smile on Fan Bailing's face, and I suddenly understood in my heart that he saw that I was dressed ordinarily and didn't look like a rich man, so he proposed such a high lottery to make it difficult for me

It's really a penny to suffocate the hero, just when I was embarrassed, Fan Bailing said: "If you don't prepare the lottery, then today's chess can only be done, young people should go back."

No, it's all here, how can I not even see Su Xinghe's face and be blocked by him, I was in a hurry, took off the ebony Buddha beads on my wrist, and said, "How much is this thing worth?"

Although my Buddha beads are inconspicuous in appearance, they are also things that have entered the Taishang Laojun gossip furnace, and its extraordinary, there should still be people in the world who can see it, right?

Fan Bailing picked up the Buddha beads and looked at them, and said disdainfully: "The knife work is passable, but this material is really poor, but it is the most common ebony bead, not to mention a hundred taels of silver, a hundred dollars may not be worth it."

"Wait, show me", Xue Muhua said, he snatched the Buddha beads and looked at them, touched them and touched them, and then sniffed them with his nose, his face showed a look of surprise, and said to me: "Young man, what is the origin of your Buddha beads?"

I said, "This is my family's ancestral heirloom, it's very old, and I don't know how it came about."

Xue Muhua's tone was a little excited, and he said, "Young man, do you sell this string of Buddha beads?"

After all, Xue Muhua is a miracle doctor, he has been making medicine all his life, studying various plants, others may not be able to find it, but he can feel a trace of Taiqing immortal qi contained in this wooden Buddha bead, thinking that this Buddha bead is regarded as some rare medicinal material, I guessed his thoughts, and took the opportunity to open his mouth, and said: "This Buddha bead is not for sale, but it can be used as a lottery to gamble, so it will be priced at 10,000 taels" "What? 10,000 taels of silver", Fan Bailing jumped up in surprise and shouted: "How can this be reasonable, a broken wooden bead, you make a price of 10,000 taels, you have lost your heart and is crazy." “

How do you know that Xue Muhua said: "No problem, this Buddha bead is indeed worth 10,000 taels of silver, Senior Brother Fan, you bet with him."

Fan Bailing shouted, "Where do I have 10,000 taels of silver?"

Xue Muhua said: "It doesn't matter, I'll make this color for you" As he spoke, he took out a stack of papers from his arms, counted out ten, and said to me: "These ten silver tickets, each worth a thousand taels, this game of chess, I will bet with you with Senior Brother Fan"

Damn, he really deserves to be a miracle doctor, he has no money and ten thousand profits, and he took out 10,000 taels of silver, and he didn't even frown
