Tiandao Library

The place where Taoist Sanxu lives is not too far away. After walking for half an hour, they saw a thatched cottage with a small yard, which was out of place with the surrounding tall buildings.

In a city where every inch of land is expensive, such a large courtyard has not been demolished, just like some courtyard houses in the imperial capital. This alone can deter countless hungry people who come to ask for trouble.

Did not come to the front, a voice sounded in the yard.

"Senior's chess skills are superb, but this one is far inferior!"

"Although you can't play chess well in a few moves, overall, you're pretty good. With logistics and learning, you should have a chance to surpass me..."

An old voice sounded.

"Thank you senior for your guidance..."

"Squeak!"

The courtyard door opened, and a young man with a face like a crown jade came out, his face was full of annoyance, followed by attendants, his body flashed, he walked past Zhang Xuan and the others, and then disappeared in the long hall of Yehui City. in the alleyway.

"Because Senior Sanxu is very skilled at chess, there are many existences who come to challenge him every day, and this one should be one of them!"

Qi Linger explained, smiled slightly, came outside the door, and the voice passed in: "The Qi family in the imperial city, Qi Linger, come to visit Senior Sanxu, and see you!"

"The seven or eight families have nothing to do with me. I don't want to see them either, so go back!"

The old man's voice continued to ring.

"Senior, don't refuse, I'm not using the Qi family to suppress people, but come to visit and ask for something! I also hope that the senior will meet..." Qi Linger hurriedly said after being stunned for a moment.

If it were someone else, if they mentioned the Qi family in the imperial city, they would definitely catch up immediately, for fear of offending, but this one in front of him directly refused, not afraid of offending anyone at all, his temper is really weird.

However, although the Qi family is powerful, this place is not in the imperial city, and it is impossible to blame for such a trivial matter, even if the other party refuses, there is nothing they can do. .

"It's just idle clouds and wild cranes. I don't have much ability, and I definitely can't help you. Let's forget it..."

The old man in the courtyard seemed unwilling to mess with the Qi family, and continued.

Frowning, Qi Linger was a little displeased.

Taking a step forward again, just as he was about to continue talking, he saw Zhang Xuan wave his hand and said: "Senior, next time Zhang Xuan is a casual cultivator and has a lot of research on chess skills. I want to play a game with senior. I don't know if it is possible! "

"You are also proficient in chess?" After a moment of stunned, the old man seemed a little moved, and said: "Today's three games are over, you can come back tomorrow!"

"Three innings?"

"I am crazy about playing chess, but in order not to delay other things, it is stipulated that I only play three games a day. The young man just now is the last game of today. He wants to play a game with me and come back tomorrow!"

The old man said.

"Tomorrow is too late, I might leave Yehui City today..." Zhang Xuan shook his head.

Arriving here so fast, I definitely don't want to wait a day.

"I don't care if I leave or not!" The old man snorted, as if he was too lazy to see each other.

"Senior, don't be so anxious to open your mouth. Since you are playing chess, you must win or lose. How about we make a bet?"

Zhang Xuan was not in a hurry, and smiled slightly: "I am conceited that I have some chess skills, and there are not many who can win in the world. How about this, as long as you can win the next game, I can promise you a request. As long as it does not violate morality, anything is fine. Okay. Of course, if I can beat you, I will also make a request to you... how about it?"

"Any request is fine?" I didn't expect the speaker to be so arrogant, and the old man frowned.

"Not bad!" Zhang Xuan nodded.

"Then I want the animal pet behind you!" said the old man.

Although the other party didn't come out, he had already seen Zhang Jia behind Zhang Xuan and recognized his identity.

Otherwise, it would be impossible to chat so much with a young man.

"I'm sorry, although this is my pet, it's also my brother and friend, so I can't bet on it, please make another request!" Zhang Xuan waved his hand.

"Master..." Zhang Jia's eyes turned red.

I thought, the owner would definitely bet on it, it's just a beast pet, it doesn't matter... I never dreamed of saying this.

The owner didn't treat it as a pet, but as a friend and brother...

From now on, for the sake of the other party, they will go through fire and water, and they will not hesitate.

"Oh?" The old man didn't expect him to answer like this, he was stunned for a moment, and said: "Then you don't have what I want, so there is no need to bet!"

"Nothing you want? That's not necessarily the case!"

Zhang Xuan smiled faintly, flicked his fingers, and a phantom appeared in front of him. In the image, a figure was sitting next to the alchemy furnace, making alchemy in the furnace, flying his five fingers, and the technique was extremely mysterious.

"Senior, I am good at alchemy, I don't know if my alchemy technique can enter the eyes of magic?" With a hook of the finger, the phantom disappeared, as if it had never appeared before.

"Your method of alchemy..."

The old man's voice was full of surprise.

The phantom just now, others can't see anything, but he is proficient in alchemy, one can tell at a glance that it contains a set of extremely exquisite alchemy techniques, which are even many times better than his method.

"come in!"

After a while, the courtyard door opened with a "squeak!"

An old servant came up and made an inviting gesture.

With a faint smile, Zhang Xuan walked in first, followed by Qi Linger and others.

Through reading the book, I know that the alchemy technique of the God Realm is similar to that of the famous teacher Dalu. He has learned all over the world, and even here, the alchemy technique has reached the peak level. It is nothing to use it to attract the other party.

The yard is not big, and an old man is sitting in front of the stone table in the middle, with three strands of beard fluttering in the wind, giving him a sense of immortality.

"let's start!"

Too lazy to talk nonsense, the old man picked up the chess piece and looked at the chessboard without raising his head.

He didn't talk about the previous bet, nor did he refine the alchemy method.

"Smiling slightly, Zhang Xuan came to the front, just about to sit down, suddenly froze for a moment, and frowned.

When I heard playing chess, I thought it was the same as that played by Master Master Dalu, but I didn't expect that the chess style here is completely different.

He has read countless books about the chess of the famous teacher Dalu, and he can definitely be regarded as the most peak existence, but now the chess style is different, and the way of playing must be different. If you don't know the rules, how can you win?

"how?"

Seeing him stop, the old man frowned.
