In the wine shop!
The old beggar chatted with Zhong Qing.
As the saying goes, a thousand cups of wine is too little to meet a close friend, and half a sentence is too much to talk without speculation.
Although the two met for the first time, they chatted extremely well.
“Little brother, can you play chess?”
“You can have a good time without chess if you have wine.”
“Would you like to follow me around and have a good time together?”
The old beggar was obviously drunk.
I think of it as soon as it comes out.
Zhong Qing has heard that good wine goes with good food.
Beauty in hand, wine in mouth.
I’ve never heard of wine paired with chess.
But seeing the enthusiasm on his face, I didn’t want to disturb his interest.
In addition, it was rare to meet a drinking buddy that I could chat with, and I happened to have nothing to do at the moment, so I immediately agreed.
The two left the wine shop.
After passing through several alleys, we finally came to the bank of a river of willow trees.
The river is fast and has willow trees on both sides.
The gentle breeze brought a bit of coolness to the somewhat hot day.
“Come on, come on, the old beggar will show you some treasure!”
The old beggar took Zhong Qing to a willow tree about ten feet in diameter, and immediately began digging soil under the tree.
After a while, something wrapped in oilcloth was dug out.
He took out the package and opened the oilcloth, revealing an exquisite chessboard and chess pieces.
The old beggar placed the chessboard on a smooth stone next to the willow tree like a baby.
Then Zhong Qing was invited to sit cross-legged on the big stone.
“Little brother, how are your chess skills?”
He holds a white piece in his hand.
Be the first to fall.
After five, when Zhong Qing and his five sons formed a line.
“I won!”
The old beggar began to doubt his life.
“How did you win?”
“How do you know you won?”
Zhong Qing: “…”
I thought you were playing backgammon with me, and I thought you were playing Go with me.
He really doesn’t understand the game of Go!
Zhong Qing had a thought.
“Well, how about I teach you another new chess game?”
“What new chess game?”
The old beggar was obviously interested.
“Let’s go, let me take you to find some ingredients first!”
Zhong Qing thought of chess in his previous life.
In terms of playability, chess is much simpler and easier to play than Go.
And its unique rules of chess are often more fascinating.
The two came to the city gate.
Zhong Qing selected some stones of different shapes and good quality.
Then he took out a carving knife and started making stones.
The knife is obtained as a sign-in reward from the system.
The quality is good, and it’s just easy to cut through gold and jade.
As for his knife skills, with his cultivation level, it is natural that he can carve and sharpen some stones.
Soon, the stones with different rules were transformed into uniform, round and smooth chess pieces under the carving of his knife skills.
Zhong Qing looked around and saw a big stone under an old locust tree.
Just enough to make a chess board.
Now he was processing the big stone again.
Soon, a complete chess board was completed.
Zhong Qing explained the rules to the old beggar.
The two tried two sets.
The old beggar was quickly conquered by the charm of chess.
“Little brother, this chess is very interesting!”
It was as if he had discovered a new world.
He stared at the chessboard with bright eyes.
Chess can be said to embody the essence of the wisdom of ancient people in past lives.
In terms of influence, it is no weaker than Go.
In the previous life, in the park and along the river bank, you could see some old men playing a few games from time to time.
In terms of audience size, it is even greater than Go.
Zhong Qing was not surprised that the old beggar had this reaction.
The two played many games.
They all ended with Zhong Qing’s victory.
However, the old beggar was not discouraged, but became more courageous with each defeat.
There is a strong drive to face difficulties and never admit defeat.
Under the locust tree, two figures, an old man and a young man, looked extremely harmonious, as if they were integrated into the nature of heaven and earth.
It has become a beautiful landscape.
Time always passes quietly and unconsciously.
In a blink of an eye, it was already sunset.
“Okay, that’s it for today!”
Zhong Qing looked at the sky and realized it was time to go back.
The old beggar had a look of reluctance on his face.
But he knows that everything is done in moderation.
He just said: “It is really a great blessing in life to meet my little friend today.”
“The old beggar lives near here. If you have free time next time, you must come and find me.”
“Let the old beggar compete with you again and tell the difference.”
“no problem!”
Zhong Qing smiled.
“In that case, I’ll leave first!”
“See you someday!”
…
When Zhong Qing returned to the Xianjiang Sect, there was an extra guest on the Shogunate Peak.
It is Xuanyuan Hong, the leader of the Xianjiang Sect!
“Sect Master, why are you here?”
Zhong Qing was a little surprised.
“You
you! ”
Xuanyuan Hong said with a helpless smile.
“The Seven Peaks Competition is a grand event for our Immortal Jiang Sect.”
“Shogun Peak won first place, it’s time for you to show your face.”
“But at the critical moment, I couldn’t find anyone.”
“Sect Master should know that I never like that kind of occasion!”
Zhong Qing spread his hands and shrugged.
Xuanyuan Hong: “There’s really nothing I can do against you!”
“I came here this time just to tell you.”
“Shogunate Peak won the first place in the Seven Peaks Competition!”
“In seven days, you will represent our Immortal Jiang Sect at the Eastern Region Immortal Dao Conference.”
“You should prepare well during this time.”
“If you need anything, you can ask it. If I can satisfy you, I will try my best to satisfy you.”
Facing Xuanyuan Hong’s caring heart, Zhong Qing smiled and said: “Thank you for your concern, sect master, but I’m just going out for a trip, there’s nothing to prepare for.”
Good guy!
These words made Xuanyuan Hong’s eyebrows twitch.
Is this the Immortal Emperor?
Always have infinite confidence in yourself.
Also, in front of such existence, what kind of big scene has I never seen?
In comparison, the Immortal Dao Conference can only be called a small event, and naturally it cannot attract too much attention and attention.
But he seemed to be making a fuss out of a molehill.
It can be said that Zhong Qing’s successive performances, even accepting two elders of the Wuji Sect, made Xuanyuan Hong convinced of his identity as the Immortal Emperor.
Not only him, but also the senior officials of Xianjiang Sect at this moment.
No one has the slightest doubt about Zhong Qing’s identity as the Immortal Emperor.
Even the two great elders of the Holy Land were able to accept him submissively.
If this wasn’t the Immortal Emperor’s unique method, they wouldn’t even believe it!
As for all this, Zhong Qing still doesn’t know.
“Okay, if that’s the case, I won’t stay any longer.”
“Anyway, be careful when going out.”
Xuanyuan Hong said a few words and then left in the night.
As for Zhong Qing, he didn’t take the Immortal Dao Conference too seriously from beginning to end.
In his opinion, this trip was just to take his two apprentices to gain knowledge and relax.
It’s no different than going on a long trip.
For the next period of time, Zhong Qing’s life was the same as before.
His focus was on alchemy again.
It is said that where there is a will, there is a way.
Needless to say, after such a long time, his strength in alchemy finally made a breakthrough.
