Chapter 204 53: Presentation
Opposite the chess table, Li Chan sat on the futon, saw the words on the paper, and raised his eyebrows, "Senior?" He picked up the tea bowl as if nothing had happened, and smiled, "Which senior?"

Li Guanqi wrote: "Your Excellency and I played chess. When the layout was played, the chess strength was a little mediocre. Every time it came to the mid-game fight, but the skillful hands were played one after another. It was different from before. If it wasn't for someone behind the scenes, I really can't think of any other explanation. .”

Li Chan thought to himself that something was wrong here, praised her cleverness, and then looked away: "Hongyao, what time is it now?"

Hong Yao said: "It's not long since the fasting bell of Daxiangguo Temple rang."

"It's getting late." Li Chan said as she got up from the futon.

And Li Guanqi saw that Li Chan was talking about him, so he hurriedly wrote some more words and handed them to Li Chan.

"If there is a chance, I would like to face-to-face with that senior."

Li Chan glanced at the words on the paper, "You're only here to play chess, since it's just to play chess, what difference does it make if you don't see people?"

Li Guanqi shook his head seriously, and wrote sternly: "Naturally there is a difference. The spirit of playing chess is not only inside the chessboard, but also outside the chessboard. If you can't face each other, how can you see the spirit?"

What a serious temper, Li Chan murmured in his heart, smiled and said: "If he wants to see you, he will see you. As for today, let's come here first." After finishing speaking, he left the chess table.

Li Guanqi pursed his lips, obviously a little unwilling, but said nothing, and walked out of the main house with Li Chan.

It was snowing outside the house, and it was already noon.Today's chess game was a bit stalemate, and it took a lot longer than usual.Li Guanqi walked towards the gate of the house, pondering over the chess game just now, keeping his eyes on the ground as usual.When I walked to the chess pavilion today, my heart skipped a beat, and I walked over.

Li Chan looked back and saw Li Guanqi walking into the chess pavilion, looking at the chessboard in the pavilion.

The chessboard is full of white stones, and there is only one sunspot on Tianyuan.Since Xu Da learned chess, he always told the monsters that this end game is very extraordinary.But what is the secret of this endgame, even the countless pulses of reading can't tell.At this time, Li Guanqi looked thoughtful towards the endgame.

Li Chan waited for a while, but Li Guanqi was still in a daze, so Li Chan asked with great interest, "Have you found out anything?"

Li Guanqi just lowered his head, as if he had realized something.Li Chan waited for a while, then stopped disturbing the young man and left the chess pavilion.

Outside the pavilion, there was endless wind and snow, and smoke rose from the kitchen. Occasionally, some little monsters hid behind the wall and peeped curiously at the chess pavilion.The boy stared at the chessboard in a daze for a while, and looked up at the sky for a while.

The sky was gray and gray, but he remembered watching the stars at night in the Sitianjian recently.There is a demon star dotted among the stars in the sky, which is inexplicably similar to a sunspot falling among the 360 ​​white diamonds.

Suddenly a voice came from the side, "Can you understand this chess game?"

Li Guanqi turned his head, and a man in white dark clothes appeared at the east side of the chess pavilion at some point, pointing to the chessboard and asking questions.Li Guanqi nodded subconsciously, then shook his head again and again.

The man in white asked again: "Then what are you looking at?"

Li Guanqi hesitated for a while, pointed to the sky with his index finger, drew a circle, and tapped three times in the circle.

The monster peeping outside the pavilion pondered the meaning of the gesture, and saw Mr. Bi nodded and said two words: "Tianxiang."

He praised: "The savvy is very good, no wonder the chess skills have improved so fast, Yuan Shuo has taken in a good apprentice."

Li Guanqi listened to the tone of the man in white, as if his master knew him a long time ago.He hesitated for a moment, and asked with gestures: "Your Excellency?"

Bi Jundao: "Although you and I have never met, we have played chess for many days."

Li Guanqi was startled, and bowed respectfully with his sleeves rolled up.

Mr. Bi asked: "You come here, who told you to come?"

Li Guanqi shook his head and pointed to himself.

"Oh?" Bi Jun said, "Is it just a whim?"

Li Guanqi nodded.

"It's fate that you can come here by yourself." Mr. Bi looked at Li Guanqi. This young man had just recovered from a serious illness, and recently he was concentrating on playing the chessboard. Compared with when he first came here, he looked much more haggard, " However, the Spring Examination of Qianyuan Academy is coming soon, you should take a rest."

Li Guanqi shook his head quickly, he came to play chess every day, although it has been ten days, but he just got excited, how could he just stop like this?
Bi Jun smiled, "You look like your master. I haven't played chess with anyone for many years, and my hands were itchy for a while, so I played a few games with you. I didn't plan to show up, but it made you feel unstable. It doesn’t matter if you don’t show your face. If you want to play chess, you can play chess in the future, so why rush?”

Li Guanqi looked down at the chessboard, unmoved.

Mr. Bi shook his head and said with a smile: "It is a good thing to be competitive, but although I can beat you, I have the suspicion of being bullied by the big. In terms of seniority, you should call me a master. If you lose to me in chess, you can't beat me." It’s not a loss.”

Li Guanqi was taken aback for a moment, staring blankly at the man in white in front of him.His teacher, Yuan Shuo, is the current Qianyuan Academy Jijiu, and he is one of the best supernatural beings in the world.Back then, Yuan Shuo not only practiced in the Qianyuan Academy, but also visited the temples of the two religions.Speaking of uncles, the bachelors who practiced together with Yuan Shuo in the Qianyuan Academy were considered uncles, and the fellows in the Xiaodao temple where Yuan Shuo was practicing in seclusion were also considered uncles.But I don't know which uncle this white-clothed man is.

But Mr. Bi is still saying: "I haven't seen the sun for many years, and I have forgotten the etiquette. You came here, but you don't even have a meeting ceremony." He took out a brand new booklet from nowhere, "Take it here. .”

Li Guanqi took the booklet in a daze, and turned a page, it turned out to be a chess record.

Bi Jundao: "This game book is called Dragon Searching Book. First, layman Heji went out to sea to find the real dragon. As a result, the boat was blocked by wind and rain for three days. He met an old man on the boat and played chess with him. After a game, the old man disappeared. , I saw dragon scales diving in the water. The game between Layman Heji and the old dragon is this game record. Your master asked me for it several times back then, and you just came, so I will give you this game record .”

Li Guanqi closed the game record and crossed his hands to express his thanks.

Mr. Bi nodded, smiled and said: "Go, go back and have a good rest."

Li Guanqi bowed his hands to say goodbye, put the game record in his arms, and left the chess pavilion.

……

When Li Guanqi left the Li residence, a meow came from behind him. Li Guanqi turned around and saw the white cat on the wall.Crow Chitose also flew over at this time, saying goodbye silently.He showed a silly smile, beckoned, turned to leave, and breathed a sigh of relief to Fengxue. During this period of time, his heart was full of black and white chess pieces. Get out of the mud.

He got into the carriage, walked across the street, and passed Daxiangguo Temple.In the past ten days, he passed by here every day, until today he heard the sound of yelling and selling.

The cries were quickly thrown to the rear of the carriage.The carriage drove up the Yunqiao, and it was the coldest time of winter, but there were more literati in the Feilou than in the past, and peddlers selling mansions wandered around, shouting the latest news. ,
While the carriage was bumping, Li Guanqi opened the curtain, "The emperor has entered Qizhou, the emperor has entered Qizhou!" The voice of shouting came into his ears.

The emperor was about to return to the capital, and the accompanying officials were also coming back, Li Guanqi thought of an octogenarian figure, wondering if the master's body could withstand the bumps during this trip to the west?He took out the "Looking for the Dragon Game" in his bosom, and thought again, that master's background is mysterious, and he wondered what his master's reaction would be when he saw this chess game book.
