Colorful pieces of paper flutter in the brilliant sunset, beautiful, warm and romantic.

The falling and broken dreams, the poignant and broken beauty, are also unforgettable.

Xie Chenfeng couldn't stop it and said regretfully: "I finally know now why the works of the 'Holy Hand Scholar' Ye Xue are so rare and not sought?"

Ye Xue looked at the visitor with some confusion.

Xie Chenfeng said: "Deliberately striving for perfection is self-defeating, and regret and blankness are not endlessly evocative and wonderful." ”

Ye Xue sighed, "It is indeed true and insightful, and there are countless painters, how can Brother Tai know that he is under the name?"

It is rumored that Ye Xue only paints Tong Jingwen, and her painting skills are profound, and her skills are exquisite, which is unique today. Xie Chenfeng has always been concise and to the point.

Interpersonal relationships are extremely delicate, some acquaintances are strangers, and some people fall in love at first sight.

Ye Xue likes to talk to wise and witty people, which is interesting and hearty in itself. A feeling of hating each other suddenly surged in my heart.

"Come and don't be rude, can you let me guess the name of Brother Tai?"

"Okay. ”

Ye Xue seemed to glance at it intentionally or unintentionally, with the unique eye of a painter in his heart in an instant, this simple young man was wearing a blue-gray robe, the edge of the robe was incomplete, a large wine gourd was pinned to his waist, and a long sword was carved behind him, and a unique plum blossom was carved on the hilt.

Ye Xue's face couldn't help but show a rare slight smile, "Xie Chenfeng, the world-famous 'ruthless swordsman' is none other than Jun. ”

This time it was Xie Chenfeng's turn to be a little surprised, "What's the basis?"

Ye Xue imitated Xie Chenfeng's tone and said a little ridiculously: "Carrying the 'Infinite Sword' is drunk in the world, and it is unique today. ”

Xie Chenfeng still seemed to be unable to help but ask: "There are so many precious, could it be that you are judging the Infinite Sword?"

"Before the sword came out of the box, there was a faint lightning and thunder. ”

I don't have a chance to talk more than half a sentence, and I don't get tired of gossiping. It's a pleasure to talk to people who share your interests.

"Where did Brother Tai come from?"

Xie Chenfeng replied wittily and humorously: "From where you come to where you go." ”

"It is rumored that the sword of the 'ruthless swordsman' is fast, and I think the mouth of the 'ruthless swordsman' is faster. ”

The four eyes are facing each other, looking at each other. The two clapped their hands and laughed with affection.

Friends from afar are happy? Easily miss the person who is destined, isn't it a regret in life? Don't make the gold bottle empty to the moon, life has wine must be happy, stay in the sky like water and wine like the dome, who has the bosom friend gone with?

Ye Xue pointed to a simple farmhouse next to the East Lake not far away, and very sincerely invited Xie Chenfeng to his home as a guest.

It was late and he was also a free and easy person, Xie Chenfeng politely thanked him and agreed.

Walk along the lakeside for about two minutes to Ye Xue's residence. This is a "three-courtyard house" style farmhouse, with a two-compartment bungalow made of blue bricks in the front, thatched houses with fence walls on both sides, a yard with red soil exposed after hoeing grass and leveling the ground in front of the house, and flowers are planted in the corner of the yard with scarce vegetables and vegetables, and the surrounding bamboo fence walls are covered with dense branches and vines. The whole courtyard looks quaint and quiet.

This is a house without a hostess, Ye Xue casually explained, Tong Jingwen is currently just a dream lover that she can't reach.

The drunkard doesn't care about the wine, he cares about the mood.

People who really drink alcohol do not pay attention to the quality of the drink and the wealth of the food, or sadness or joy, they can express their feelings through wine.

It is a blessing to be accompanied by people who are in love with each other.

It's good to drink casually, Ye Xue didn't deliberately prepare anything, otherwise it would ruin the harmonious atmosphere.

It's all the existing things that go with breakfast on weekdays, fried soybeans, dried pickles, and fried peanuts.

Talking speculatively, they were naturally in a good mood, and the two of them drank freely, while chatting about the recent news on the rivers and lakes.

"'Useless scholar' Bai Tongshu is really unfortunate in the family, Bai Tongshu himself is a little crazy, and his brother Bai Tongli is crazy for some reason, which is really regrettable. ”

"Could it be that there is a family inheritance?" Xie Chenfeng asked.

"Nobody knows. Ye Xue said sadly, and then was silent for a long time.

The two of them drank a small jar of wine, and almost inadvertently their whole bodies were like a toppling wall on the table.

Tonight, the moon is sparse and the stars are scarce, and the scenery seems to be shrouded in a hazy green veil.

"Poppy Lady" Tong Jingwen and seven or eight followers quietly appeared in this farmhouse like ghosts. She instructed her entourage to change Xie Chenfeng into a new set of clothes from the inside out, and looted all the things Xie Chenfeng had with him (clothes wrapping and the Infinity Sword).

Everyone can be sure that the "Military Defense Map" is carried by the "ruthless swordsman", Tong Jingwen only adopts a foolproof method, and the stupid method is often the simplest and most effective.

She was kind enough to leave the enemy's life this time, but it was to repay Xie Chenfeng for the favor he had given to her mother-in-law and son Zhang Wei. Although she is on Tianhu Island, Tong Jingwen, as a mother, is secretly concerned and concerned about the growth of her son Zhang Wei all the time.

Xie Chenfeng didn't drink much wine, and he knew in his heart that he had eaten **, but he couldn't open his eyes, his body was weak and weak, and he could only be at the mercy of others like a mess of mud.

Ye Xue's condition is almost the same as eating the cartilage in the wine and being at the mercy of it.

The toxicity of cartilage powder cannot be lifted in a moment, not to mention that the antidote is on Tianhu Island. This whole set of unique drugs was purchased by Tong Jingwen with a lot of money from Hu Lijuan, the "Yin Yang Woman".

Tong Jingwen instructed her subordinates to carry Ye Xue on their backs, and the group quickly blended into the misty night like a green mist that came and went without a trace.

Light-headed and weak, the "ruthless swordsman" Xie Chenfeng felt as if he was in a different world, and dimly heard someone eagerly calling his name, and couldn't help but open his eyes in a restless mood.

Unexpectedly, he found that the person next to him was replaced by the "flying abductor" Yongshoukang, when he woke up, it was already three or four o'clock in the morning, there were still a few sparse stars in the sky, and the place was still the original "Sanheyuan" farmhouse in the old place, and all the furnishings remained unchanged.

Puzzled, he asked, "What the hell is going on?"

It turned out that in order to design this scam, Ye Xue temporarily rented this "triple courtyard" farmhouse from farmers.

The "Flying Kidnapper" told all the situations he had secretly seen truthfully and in detail, but he falsely claimed that he had inadvertently learned of the plan of the 'Holy Hand Scholar' Ye Xue, and when he rushed to inform Xie Chenfeng, he was a step too late. Yong Shoukang was indeed a step late, and the people of Tianhu Island took the lead in seizing the "Ming Military Defense Map", and he couldn't help but show a look of remorse.

Xie Chenfeng didn't know the truth, and was moved by Yong Shoukang's eagerness and righteousness, and blamed himself for not underestimating the other party before, and he began to be a little unconfident in his way of looking at people.

As the saying goes, 'people should not look good' is indeed a wise saying, Ye Xue's demeanor is elegant but dignified, and Yong Shoukang's appearance is sloppy but he is anxious for justice and righteousness.

His mind gradually cleared up, Xie Chenfeng wanted to stand up, but he couldn't stand up, and felt that his whole body was as weak as a sponge, and he couldn't help but panic and secretly complained to himself.

Xie Chenfeng has been wandering in the rivers and lakes for many years, and he has long heard that the Bai family of the poison sect has a kind of cartilage that makes people lose their martial arts but have no worries about their lives, and it is very likely from the symptoms shown by him.

The Bai family's poison has never been spread easily, and he is very puzzled about the way Tianhu Island got cartilage powder.

Yong Shoukang affirmed that Xie Chenfeng was hit by the Bai family's cartilage, but he didn't know the path taken by Tianhu Island.

"Alas-saving a life is better than creating a seventh-level Buddha slaughter, who made you and me so fateful, the antidote is wrapped up in me. Yong Shou Kang said half-truthfully. Only if it is possible for the "Ruthless Swordsman" to retrieve the "Military Defense Map" from Tianhu Island, and it is possible to steal it from Xie Chenfeng by deceiving Xie Chenfeng's trust.

The person who couldn't look down on him before turned out to be a friend worthy of life and death, Xie Chenfeng touched his eyes with his hand in disguise, afraid that tears would almost fall, and there was a sour feeling in his nose.

"Flying Kidnapper" said again: "I really don't worry about leaving you here alone, I want to entrust you to a friend's house and let him take care of him for three or four days, I will go to Bai's house to get the antidote so that I have no worries, I don't know what my brother wants?"

Now that he has nothing to worry about anyway, and there is no reason to oppose it, Xie Chenfeng readily agreed to this arrangement, and thanked him repeatedly.

When it was dawn, they hired an ox cart from a nearby farmer, and Xie Chenfeng and Yongkang rode the ox cart through the bumps of the country road.

The rural scenery along the way is elegant, with a leaf boat beside the stream, strange stones beside the trees, and green shade from the wine flags.

The fresh and simple scenery is like a Chinese painting with a timeless charm.

But he was no longer in the mood to appreciate it, and Xie Chenfeng seemed to have become more reticent after this painful lesson.

The friend mentioned by Yong Shoukang turned out to be the only "chess saint" who dominated the rivers and lakes.

On the way, Yongshoukang introduced the personality and preferences of the only line to Xie Chenfeng, so that the two could get along in harmony in the next three or four days.

The trick of being a person in the world is to do what he likes, and when playing chess, it is easy to get carried away, as long as he accompanies him attentively, the "chess master" can do a lot of things for the other party.

The ox cart made seven turns and eight turns into the village called Huqiaodu. Bluestone road, wooden plank bridge, miscellaneous forest, nameless flowers. The village has a beautiful artistic conception of willows and flowers.

On the road to the countryside, you will occasionally meet villagers who are preparing to work, or carrying farm tools or driving livestock or carrying baskets.

The ox cart turned into a fork in the alley and traveled a short distance, and the "flying kidnapper" asked the ox cart to stop outside the courtyard of one of the houses, pay the fare and let it go on its own.

The yard is not small. The S-shaped curved path connects the Shemen, the flowers and plants on the left side of the road are wonderful, the purple hibiscus flowers are soft and elegant, the anchovy chrysanthemum is handsome and beautiful, and the cactus is tough and vigorous. The right side of the road is lonely, with a small garden framed by messy granite and a few pomelo and date trees.

Yong Shoukang pointed to a house with flying eaves and corners and said that it was the residence of the "chess master".

Xie Chenfeng said with sincere envy: "It's really a paradise-like life. ’

Yong Shoukang smiled noncommittally, and there was a hint of teasing at the corner of his mouth.

Approaching the door along the winding path, the door is hidden, and the sound of falling chess pieces can be heard from time to time in the house.

"Flying Kidnapper" said with a fluttering eyebrow: "The only one can solve the chess game at home, and we can get food and drink today." ”

The kidnapper seems to be like a regular visitor here, Xie Chenfeng thinks it is very interesting; how can two stingy people get together? one is mean to himself and the other is mean to others.

Then there was a sad and lonely voice in the house: "A piece of spring sorrow is waiting for the wine to be poured, the boat on the river is shaking, the curtain is moving upstairs, the autumn Niangdu and the Tainiang bridge, the wind is fluttering, the rain is dashing, when to return home to wash the guest robe, the silver sheng tune, the heart word incense burns, the streamer is easy to throw people, red cherries, green plantains." ”

Yong Shoukang said teasingly: "The pedantic and sour problem of chess nerds has flare up again." He supported Xie Chenfeng and pushed the door in.

The interior of the room is unobstructed, with a shocking degree of rudimentary decay, except for a low table with a game of Go on it.

The ground was full of sizzling straw stalks, and the air was filled with a rich, musty smell.

An old man sat cross-legged, staring intently at the chess game on the table, meditating.

The first impression of the old man is that he is thin, and if the wrinkled and brown skin is removed, all that is left is a jagged and skinny skin. Abrupt cheekbones, sunken eye sockets, drooping eyelids, occasionally raised, Huo Ran will reveal sharp pupils in his eyes. A bunch of sparse and slender whiskers under the pointed shell adds a bit of spirit. Like an old goat.

The old man was covered with a gray robe, the material was rough, the robe could not completely cover the inside, the part from the knees to the ankles was exposed, there were no trouser legs, the rags hung down in all directions, the cloth was rough linen, and the patches were embellished one after another.

The old man is the only one of the "chess masters".

The outside looks glamorous, and life is poor.

Xie Chenfeng finally understood the meaningful smile of the "flying kidnapper".

He sighed, the only line was so poor that Yong Shoukang was embarrassed to come to eat and drink.

Yong Shoukang seemed to feel Xie Chenfeng's pity, and said with a grin: "Duxing is actually a rich man, and he opened the largest chess-style silver village in Nanjing. ”

It's really speechless, there is still such a miser in the world, miserly to the point of self-abuse.

Duxing loves face very much, and is unwilling to let outsiders see the real state of life. When the kidnapper brought an uninvited guest to his house without authorization, his face turned pale and annoyed: "Abductor, are you impatient? You embarrass me, and I will let you die without a place to bury." ”

"Flying Kidnapper" said confidently with a fearless face: "Don't bite Lu Dongbin - I don't know the hearts of good people, but I brought Xie Chenfeng, a rookie in the chess world." "Yong Shoukang lied about the military situation, and he was calling the other party again. He has been friends with the only line for many years, and he has long figured out the weakness of the other party, if you want to say that the only line has a nemesis, then it must be.

Standing alone and dangerous, it has been lonely for a long time. Duxing was eager to play against a real opponent, and his deep and bright eyes stared indifferently at Xie Chenfeng's fingers, appearing delicate and dexterous.

It is indeed like a pair of chess hands, ordinary and extraordinary hands, and the owner of the hand is by no means an ordinary person.

Duxing's gaze gradually moved up to the face of the uninvited guest, and he recognized it as a bystander who had clicked Go in the Drunken Immortal Building last time.

He couldn't help but turn his anger into joy, and there was a rare and long-lost smile on his face.

Yong Shoukang is good at observing words and feelings, and took the opportunity to flatter and say: "I specially brought him to play Go with you." ”

The only one was happy, "I am not to blame for your mistakes." ”

"We're still hungry, so prepare some good wine and food, otherwise, we'll leave." ”

The only line is usually stingy to the point of self-abuse. Yongshoukang asked for a treat, which was no less than heart-wrenching for Scrooge.

Duxing was so angry that his body trembled, his face was blue, he gritted his teeth, and his lips were almost bleeding because he bit his teeth.

Blackmail, the most odious blackmail in the world.

Stinginess and longing are fiercely strangled in the heart, and you can't have both fish and bear's paws.

Standing on the peak and looking at the mountains, this is the glory and sorrow of the only line, lonely for too long, bent on defeat, but no opponent.

The only line persistently believes that the opponent is among all living beings, and fate will naturally meet when it comes. Fate is like a meteor that passes away in a blink of an eye, eternal and short in life.

Fate needs to be cherished and grasped by yourself, and once you miss it, you won't do it again.

Perhaps, the uninvited guest is the long-awaited opponent.

Duxing made a decision that was almost like a strong man's broken wrist, and squeezed out a few words from between his teeth word by word: "I'm in for a treat, how about going to the Jinyuan Farmhouse Restaurant?"

Yong Shoukang's pupils revealed a hint of cunning, "Don't break the bank too much, just fifteen meat dishes are enough." ”

The words pierced the tip of the heart, and the goat of the "chess saint" trembled.

The only line loves face, and when you go out, you always have to change into that magnificent and gorgeous robe.

People want clothes, and Buddhas want gold. The radiant and graceful gentleman is back.

Killed no one believed in the true state of his life.

Too many people in the world tend to be inflammatory. Graceful and luxurious are respected, and ragged clothes are despised.

The three of them entered the beautiful environment of the 'Jinyuan Farmhouse Restaurant', and came back to play a game after being full of wine and food.

"Flying Kidnapper" explained the cause and effect, and after entrusting Chenfeng to the "Chess Saint", he took the opportunity to get out to get the antidote.

The only line deliberately took out the treasured ancient chess, the chessboard is antique, and the chess pieces are as warm as jade.

He spends a lot of money on hobbies.

Opening, fixing, robbing, containment, breaking through ......

Stretching out his hand to know if there is one, Duxing is very comfortable to feel that he has met a strong opponent, and he is secretly glad to have retained this hard-won fate.

Duxing said with emotion: "Your Excellency's Go skills seem to be deeper than that of the 'Holy Hand Scholar'. ”

The speaker had no intention of listening to the heart, Xie Chenfeng asked quietly: "Are you talking about Ye Xue, a famous court painter who moves the world?"

"How many 'holy hand scholars' are there on the rivers and lakes?" Duxing asked rhetorically.

"Mr. can see the person, I think it must be a master of chess, how about having the opportunity to introduce us to each other?"

Duxing said with some regret: "We used to have a close relationship, but this year we didn't come much. ”

"Why?"

"Addicted to women. ”

Xie Chenfeng said half-jokingly: "If you are overindulgent and easy to hurt your body, as a friend, you should be earnestly admonished." ”

Duxing said helplessly and regretfully: "Your Excellency is reasonable, if you just linger in the Qinglou, you can still be saved, but he is hopelessly infatuated with the 'poppy lady' on Tianhu Island." ”

Fortunately, all the women are saved, but there is no help.

Xie Chenfeng looked at Duxing inexplicably, thinking that he had said the wrong thing.

Duxing said a little angrily: "Ye Xue will die sooner or later at the hands of the sinister and vicious Tong Jingwen, it is rumored that she is cultivating the Nine Yin True Scripture of the Demon Martial Arts that has been lost for a hundred years, and she needs to absorb the blood of martial arts masters to enhance her internal strength. ”

Xie Chenfeng now thinks of Ye Xue's description and feels that what the "chess saint" said is true.

Time flies, three days have passed.

The Bai family's antidote to the poison sect is not easy to obtain.

Xie Chenfeng was silent, anxious, and his mouth was foaming.

The "chess saint" only persuaded him to be safe when he came, and hoped that the other party would play for a few more days.

He revealed a shocking secret to Xie Chenfeng.

The Bai family's poison is not a patent of the Bai family, and the "Yin and Yang Woman" Hu Lijuan also knows the Baimen poison, and the only one does not know whether there is a relationship between the two families.

However, he knew that the "Flying Kidnapper" was the biological son of the "Yin Yang Po".

It should be natural for a son to ask his mother for something, not to mention that it is just an antidote to save people from danger.

Hearing the words of the only line, Xie Chenfeng seemed to have taken a reassuring pill.

Towards the evening of the fourth day, Yongshoukang really took the antidote smoothly.
