Chapter 292: Drum Mountain Chess Game
"Leigushan? Your master invited me? Who is your master?"
Li Bufu couldn't help asking.
He has been walking in this world for a long time, and although he has learned about the names of some masters from various sects such as Shaolin, Beggars' Sect, Yipintang, and Tianlong Temple, it is indeed the first time he has heard of Kang Guangling's name and his master.
Kang Guangling paused slightly and said, "My former master was Mr. Su Xinghe. Later, eight of our disciples were expelled from the master. But I believe we can rejoin his sect this time."
Abi reminded Li Bufu and said, "Mr. Su Xinghe is also called 'Mr. Congbian', and he is the martial arts elder of the previous generation."
Xiao Feng said: "Not bad! I heard of Mr. Congbian's name when I was a child. It is said that he has very good martial arts skills, and is proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, medical skills in the machinery, and Qimen Dunjia. However, he somehow later became a deaf and mute old man, which is a pity."
Li Bufu was even more confused. He really couldn't imagine what a deaf and mute old man would invite him to do.
Kang Guangling shook his head and said, "My master is not born deaf and dumb. There is a big reason for this. You will know after you ask Daxia Li to go."
Li Bufu looked at Xiao Feng and Abi again. Abi said, "Teacher is a good person and should not lie to you."
Xiao Feng also asked Kang Guangling: "I heard that this deaf and mute old man has lived in seclusion. He has not come out for a long time for many years. What is the purpose of inviting me, this virtuous brother?"
Kang Guangling said: "In short, it is a blessing, and it is a great blessing, not a disaster."
Li Bufu thought that Kang Guangling had just seen him, he bowed and kowtowed, and said that he had killed Ding Chunqiu and so on. He probably guessed it. So he said, "When will Mr. Congbian invite you?"
Kang Guangling said: "Young master will go anytime, and my master will wait anytime."
Li Bufu said, "Okay. When I send my elder brother away, I will go to Leigushan with you."
Kang Guangling said happily: "Thank you, the hero, for your promise. I thank you for your support."
The few people immediately cooked good dishes and drank them. Kang Guangling played several songs again.
In a few days, Xiao Feng and Azhu bid farewell to Li Bufu and went north to find the foundation of Xiao Feng's bloodline. Li Bufu also promised them that he would help him pay attention to the news of the "Yanmen Pass Battle" thirty years ago.
············
Leigu Mountain is in Henan, and there are deep valleys in the mountains.
The deep valley is called the Deaf and Earth Dumb Valley, which is the foothold of the "Deaf and Mute Gate" created by Su Xinghe.
All the disciples of the Deaf and Mute Sect were thorny and could not be heard of. When Li Bufu walked to the mountains, they were waiting long ago, and took Li Bufu as a seat to catch him, so they led him into the valley.
After Li Bufu entered the valley, he sat on the rope net and saw the pine waves and the breeze was refreshing. Although it was August, the sky was cool and the earth was fast, quiet and pleasant, and it was a wonderful place to live in seclusion.
Walking further deeper, I saw a short and thin old man standing in front of three wooden houses. There were two seats in front of him, and a large bluestone was found among them.
The shriveled old man bowed deeply to Li Bufu and said, "Mr. Congbian Su Xinghe pays homage to Li Bufu Young Master!"
Li Bufu heard that this man was a "deaf and mute old man", but now when he saw him, he could speak, and felt strange. But he still got off the rope net and said politely: "I dare not, don't dare."
Su Xinghe said: "Since Young Master Li killed Ding Chunqiu, the evil thief, then this worship must be fulfilled. If you return the gift, you will be punished by me!"
He then bowed deeply again, and Li Bufu was generous, standing there, receiving this bow, and no longer returning the courtesy.
Su Xinghe glanced at Kang Guangling and said, "You go back first."
Kang Guangling looked excited. He wanted to say something but didn't say it, but he just stepped down.
Someone placed the brewed tea on the big bluestone, and Su Xinghe and Li Bufu sat down one after another.
Only then did Li Bufu see that a chessboard was carved on the large bluestone surface, with nineteen vertical and horizontal distribution, evenly distributed, and the workmanship was quite exquisite.
Su Xinghedao: "Crispy tea in the mountains, laughing."
He picked up the tea and drank it all, and Li Bufu immediately served the tea and drank it.
Although he is not an expert in tea ceremony, he has seen more or less famous teas. This tea is fresh and is the best among the teas, which removes the vulgarity. After a little taste of it, Li Bufu felt a clear air on his lips and teeth without venting, which is very pure.
After Su Xinghe took a sip of tea, he said, "Young hero, you may ask, "Young hero, I'm neither deaf nor dumb, why do you call me "Deaf and dumb old man"? This matter is a long story. If the young hero has time, drink tea slowly and listen to me."
Li Bufu nodded and drank tea.
Su Xinghedao: "Ding Chunqiu, the leader of the Xingsu Sect, killed by the young hero, was originally my junior brother."
The first sentence he said was shocking, and it might shock the martial arts world.
"However, he lost all his conscience, deceived his master and destroyed his ancestors, joined forces with one of my uncles to secretly launch a sneak attack, and drove my master into the deep valley! After I arrived, I confronted him with Qimen Dunjia. However, the master had already entered the deep valley and did not know life or death."
Su Xinghe sighed and said, "Ding Chunqiu knows that I have various unique skills in my sect. I don't let him easily, and he doesn't allow me to spread it. Therefore, I promised him that I will live in the world as a deaf and mute person, so that I can escape his pursuit. In order to keep my eight disciples alive, I also drove them all out of the sect."
Li Bufu nodded, thinking about something.
Su Xinghe said: "The young hero killed Ding Chunqiu, which was really angered for our sect, and it also gave us a great harm to the martial arts world! Today I invited the young hero here, because I had an opportunity to ask the young hero to see it."
Li Bufu suddenly said, "If you want to use your sect's martial arts with me, there is no need."
Su Xinghe smiled and said, "With the young hero's martial arts, I believe he has another master, so he does not need his unique skills. This opportunity is far more than his unique skills."
After he said that, he didn't explain much, and took out two chess pieces, one black and one white, placed them one by one, and put them on them for about a hundred chess pieces before stopping. This was a strange chess game.
He then placed the white chess and held the black chess in his hand.
Su Xinghedao: "Is the young man good at chess?"
Li Bufu shook his head and said, "I know a little bit, but I'm not very proficient."
He had only heard people talk about the rules of Go. In the past, he occasionally saw Fang Zheng, Chongxu, Hongying, and Lu Liu playing chess. But it would be very difficult to let him play it by himself.
Su Xinghe smiled bitterly and said, "Young hero, you are so young and your martial arts are so skillful. You will practice hard every day and breathe. You will not waste your energy on these miscellaneous things like Lao Chen and others."
"But that doesn't matter. As long as you are willing to learn, I will teach you; if you can break this chess game based on what I teach, you will have a huge opportunity to send it to you. How good is it?"
Li Bufu said: "A great opportunity? What is it?"
Su Xinghe said seriously: "It is an opportunity left by my master. There is only one in the world, and it is unique!"
Li Bufu said, "Who is your master?"
Su Xinghedao: "He is called 'Wuyazi', and this sect is the Xiaoyao Sect. Maybe you may not have heard of it, but I can guarantee that if you get this opportunity, your skills will definitely make great progress, and it is not necessarily impossible to become the world's number one master!"
Li Bufu didn't care much about his words afterwards. Instead, the six words "Wuyazi" and "Xiaoyao Sect" in front made Li Bufu's heart suddenly move.
"It turns out that Ding Chunqiu is also a disciple of the Xiaoyao Sect. No wonder, this makes sense."
Li Bufu Zhuan immediately thought: "Senior Sweeping Monk asked me to find Wuyazi of Xiaoyao Sect, so that I could get the eternal Changchun Gong. I was worried that I didn't know where to go to find Wuyazi, but a disciple of Wuyazi came out here, but it took no time to get it!"
Thinking of this, he opened his mouth and asked, "Is your master still alive?"
Su Xinghe didn't say he was there, nor did he say he was there, but he just shook his head.
"Do you have the secret to Changchun Gong forever?"
Su Xinghe replied: "No. That is the unique method of a master of this sect."
Li Bufu was a little disappointed, but after thinking about it, he still agreed: "Okay, I'll learn from you for a while, and I'll break this game."
