Zongwu: Our Rivers and Lakes

Chapter 61 Delicate Chess Game
Wing room on the second floor.

After Long Peng briefly treated the injuries on his body, he woke up the sleeping "enemy of the king of hell" Xue Muhua.

"Um……"

Xue Muhua opened his eyes in a daze, looked around, and was surprised to see that Long Peng was wearing a bandage.

"Mr. Long, what are you doing in my room in the middle of the night? And... why did you get injured all of a sudden? What happened?"

"It's a long story, I'll tell you about it later, now you have to look at this first."

Long Peng pushed the poisoned food to Xue Muhua's side, "Master Xue, can you detoxify the food."

"poison?"

Xue Muhua was stunned for a moment, then inserted a silver needle, put it in his mouth and tasted a little, "Colorless and tasteless... this poison is rare."

Xue Muhua said so, his eyes were full of excitement, and he was delighted to see Lie.

"Well...Mr. Long, you give this old man some time to study it carefully."

Long Peng nodded, "Then it's all up to Divine Doctor Xue."

"By the way, Mr. Long, are you not poisoned?"

"Ha ha……"

Long Peng smiled, "It's not that I have a thick skin, but that I have deep internal strength, and the inner strength I have learned also has the effect of self-protection and invulnerability from all poisons, so although this poison is powerful, it has limited effect on me. "

Xue Muhua nodded in satisfaction when he heard the words, "Mr. Long is worthy of being the successor of our Xiaoyao Sect. It is really extraordinary. The old man just tasted it a little bit, and now it is difficult to mobilize his internal strength, but you are like a normal person. You really make the old man envious... "

"Hehe... let's not talk about this..."

Long Peng waved his hands, and said seriously, "Master Xue, tomorrow Long wants to trouble Doctor Xue to take Long to the Valley of the Deaf and Mute, to meet Master."

"This……"

Xue Muhua was stunned for a moment, stroked his goatee, was silent for a while, then nodded and replied, "It's okay to take you there, but those members of the Demon Cult..."

"Master Xue can rest assured, they are all poisoned, they are not a threat, and Long's trip here is considered a good deed."

"This... well..."

...

...

Sunset West Mountain.

Leigu Mountain, the Valley of the Deaf.

In the dim yellow valley, countless weeds grow wantonly, and there are few people.

A thatched hut stands quietly beside the mountain wall, and the evening is sinking.

Tee, Tee, Tee...

"Master, the unfilial disciple has brought someone to see you."

Xue Muhua stood neatly outside the door with a very respectful expression.

squeak-yah-

There was a knock on the door with some toothache, but a short, thin old man dressed as a famous scholar appeared slowly.

This person is Xue Muhua's master - "Mr. Congbian" Su Xinghe.

Su Xinghe walked out of the house, looked around, looked puzzled, but didn't speak.

Xue Muhua understood what he was worried about, and explained, "Master, there is no such old monster here, so you can rest assured."

"Um……"

Su Xinghe nodded when he heard the words, and said slowly, "I don't know what the so-called young man came here for?"

"At Xialongpeng, if I want to meet Senior Wu Yazi, I hope Mr. Su will make it easier for me."

Su Xinghe was startled, his dull eyes flickered for a moment, he looked sideways at Xue Muhua, asking him for an explanation.

Xue Muhua also didn't expect that Long Peng would make such a request, so he was a little surprised, but he quickly said: "Master, don't worry, this Young Master Long is proficient in the unique skills of the Xiaoyao School, and has a grudge against that old monster, so he is not someone with evil intentions." .”

Su Xinghe pursed his lips, stared at Long Peng's eyes, as if he wanted to see something, after a while, he said in a deep voice, "Where did you learn the martial arts from me?"

Long Peng looked as usual, and smiled slightly, "Dali, I learned it from a cave in Wuliang Mountain."

Su Xinghe was silent for a while, then said slowly, "Can the young man play chess?"

Long Peng was stunned for a moment, and said helplessly, "I have learned it before, but I am not proficient, so I dare not make a fool of myself in front of my husband."

"It's okay, let's talk about it first."

Long Peng nodded, "Okay, I'll accompany you to the next game."

"Please."

"Please."

Follow Su Xinghe into the cottage.

Long Peng quickly saw the chess game on the stone table in Lu Nei, "Is this the Linglong chess game laid out by Mr. Su?"

"Exactly."

Su Xinghe nodded, picked up the white piece, and said, "This is an endgame, if you can solve it, I will take you to see your tutor."

"Sigh...Mr. Su has a high opinion of me, but I really only know a little bit of superficial knowledge, not proficient."

Long Peng shook his head helplessly, and dropped a child.

Su Xinghe followed immediately, and said calmly, "Whether you are proficient or not, you still have to play it to know."

……

The two began to play chess, playing chess slowly and chatting, and played nearly a hundred moves in a short while, and they are still going on.

At this time, Xue Muhua seemed to have transformed into Shiqi Xiaosi, serving tea and water, and doing what he was asked to do.

He is old and obedient, and has long since lost the arrogance of a quack doctor.

a long time.

The twilight is suddenly gray, and the night is gradually falling.

"Oh... I lost."

Long Peng sighed, and the sunspot held between his fingers did not fall after all, "If you make a careless move, you will lose everything."

"Um……"

Su Xinghe stroked his beard, saw that the chessboard was almost covered, and said with a smile, "The young man clearly saw the defeat, why did he make the last move?"

"Ha ha……"

Long Peng smiled, "I am like this, I always want to give it a try."

"Too much obsession is not conducive to martial arts practice."

"The younger generation has been taught."

Long Peng clasped his hands slightly, and sighed, "It's a pity, if my sister is here, I might be able to solve this chess game."

"Her temperament, neither sad nor happy, is very suitable for playing chess."

"Oh……"

Su Xinghe was a little surprised, "I don't know where Sister Ling is now, can I invite her to solve this Linglong chess game."

"I'm afraid this won't work, my sister is too homey."

"Tai Zhai? What do you mean by that?"

Long Peng froze for a moment, then explained, "I just don't go out."

"Oh...that's an image."

Su Xinghe nodded with a smile, and asked again, "This old man feels lonely living here alone, the young man would like to accompany this old man for a while."

"I'm afraid it won't work."

"Um……"

Su Xinghe frowned, and said slowly, "Young hero doesn't have to push himself so fast, sometimes it's good to take it easy, otherwise what's the point of living in this world?"

Long Peng smiled, took out two medicine jars from his cuffs and pushed them over.

"Ok?"

Su Xinghe was puzzled, "Young hero, what does this mean?"

"Mr. Su is also a master of medicine, why don't you take a look?"

"Haha... Interesting and interesting..."

Su Xinghe laughed a few times, rolled up his sleeves, and began to investigate, his expression became agitated after a while.

"This thing... Could this thing be from the Vajra Gate of the Western Regions..."

"That's right, it's 'Black Jade Intermittent Ointment'!"

"I also ask Mr. Su to give this item to Senior Wu Yazi, and ask Senior if he would like to see me."

"This one……"

Su Xinghe hesitated for a while, then stood up, "Okay, the old man will go to ask, young man, please wait for a while."
