Chapter 133 Extra 2 That Year, That Month, That Peak (5)
Just like how Jiang Tingbai's pain in the past even shocked Ji Qinghong.
Yan Luoyue's outstanding ability in refining weapons also shocked Jiang Tingbai.
Out of the understanding of each other over the years, the desire to cherish talent and not wanting to see such a beautiful jade being hidden in the dust, the trust in Yan Luoyue's talent and ability, and the love from the bottom of his heart, Jiang Tingbai wrote a handwritten letter to recommend the young Yan Luoyue to Ji Qinghong.
At that time, Yan Luoyue was preparing to attend the Qianlian Conference.
So before leaving, Jiang Tingbai specially made three sword talismans for her.
In addition, when Jiang Tingbai gave the three sword talismans to Yan Luoyue, a thought flashed through his mind -
According to the schedule, Master and Luoyue should meet at the Qianlian Conference.
What he meant was, Master shouldn't be so bored as to block Luoyue on the road in advance and try to scare the child, right?
Regarding this point, Yan Luoyue, Wu Manshuang and Ling Shuanghun can all give a firm answer based on their personal experience:
Yes, Ji Qinghong is such a dog rabbit. He is the kind of person who would stop a child on the road, scare him, and give him a fine!
Senior Brother, you still trust Rabbit too much. When facing Ji Qinghong, you can't relax even a little bit!
Remember URL
…
With his full support, Jiang Tingbai finally had a smart, sensible, clever and cute little sister who seemed to be able to add a little color to the ordinary life of their sect.
Of course, the junior sister also recommended a junior brother to join, so this is not a big problem.
Jiang Tingbai, who came to this conclusion, will finally understand one day in the future: in their sect, all other beings are outsiders, and he is the only outsider.
However, at this moment, Jiang Tingbai still knew nothing about the identities of Yan Luoyue and Wu Manshuang as natural gods.
So far, the biggest trouble that the junior brothers and sisters have brought to Jiang Tingbai is that Junior Brother Wu is a bit stubborn.
After the incident in Shancha Town, Jiang Tingbai was reminded by Chu Tiankuo and noticed that Wu Manshuang was too nervous on weekdays.
After thinking about it, Jiang Tingbai took Wu Manshuang on a mission. It was during this mission that Jiang Tingbai gave Wu Manshuang a suggestion.
He said: "If you want to cultivate your sentiments, you can learn Go from Master."
Thinking of Master's chess skills and his chess character... Jiang Tingbai couldn't help but feel a little nervous.
He said nonchalantly, "Master should be willing to teach me if I have someone to play chess with."
Heaven and earth can see that the reason for giving this suggestion is not that Jiang Tingbai is playing a rare prank on people.
Jiang Tingbai only thought about Junior Brother Wu's character after carefully considering him. He thought that if he learned Go from Ji Qinghong, it would not only help Wu Manshuang relax, but also teach her how to lose and how to accept her loss.
Of course, perhaps due to some kind of influence from what he had seen and heard, Jiang Tingbai did not reveal the true level of Ji Qinghong's chess skills to Wu Manshuang.
…
So, Wu Manshuang went there completely unprepared, with a sincere desire to study.
He walked into Suyi Hall, met Ji Qinghong, expressed his desire to learn Go, and then watched Ji Qinghong take out a... um, extremely large stone chessboard.
Wu Manshuang: “!!!”
Is there something wrong with your chessboard?
Although Wu Manshuang doesn't know how to play Go, she has at least seen others play Go. A normal Go board shouldn't have so many squares, right?
Facing Wu Manshuang's doubts, Ji Qinghong remained calm and answered in a very dignified manner: "This is how I play chess."
At that time, Wu Manshuang, who was still very kind-hearted, really believed Ji Qinghong's lies.
——Misfortune, after Jiang Tingbai, another disciple was unfortunately deceived by Ji Qinghong's rabbit nature.
Then, Wu Manshuang was kept by Ji Qinghong and played Go with him for three days.
When Wu Manshuang came back, she happened to see Yan Luoyue and Jiang Tingbai eating barbecue together.
Hearing Wu Manshuang's footsteps behind him, Yan Luoyue picked out a bunch of perfectly roasted honey chicken wings that were crispy on the outside and tender on the inside and handed them to Wu Manshuang. He casually asked, "You have been learning for so long, how many games have you played in total?"
Wu Manshuang said frankly, "One plate."
"Huh?" Yan Luoyue asked in surprise, "It's just a game of chess, but it took so long?"
Generally speaking, don't beginners tend to give up quickly?
Wu Manshuang recalled for a moment and said seriously, "Master's chessboard is bigger."
Maybe it's too big.
So they played for three full days before the chessboard was filled up, and the two ended up in a tie...
After hearing Wu Manshuang's answer, Jiang Tingbai suddenly laughed.
Yan Luoyue asked curiously: "Big Brother, what are you laughing at?"
Jiang Tingbai said seriously: "Well, I remembered something happy."
He gently put the skewer aside and asked gently, "How did Master explain his oversized chessboard?"
Wu Manshuang repeated the story exactly as it happened: “Master said that this is because his chess skills are superior…” So the chessboard he used was also superior.
At that moment, Jiang Tingbai laughed again.
Yan Luoyue asked doubtfully: "Big Brother, what did you remember?"
Jiang Tingbai said calmly: "Nothing, I just remembered something happy."
Yan Luoyue frowned suspiciously: "The happy thing you mentioned before is the same as what is happening now?"
"Yes." Jiang Tingbai said nonchalantly, "By the way, Junior Brother, did you win in the chess game with Master?"
Wu Manshuang shook her head in shame: "It's a draw."
This time, Jiang Tingbai laughed so hard that he buried his face in his palms.
Yan Luoyue couldn't help but speak up for Wu Manshuang: "Big Brother, you have been laughing at Manshuang since just now, and you haven't stopped at all!"
"Hey, I'm not laughing at Manshuang." Jiang Tingbai tried his best to keep a straight face and waved to Wu Manshuang, "Come on, let's play a few more games on a normal chessboard... Well, I'll teach you a few moves."
That afternoon, Wu Manshuang was killed more than twenty times by Jiang Tingbai.
But after Jiang Tingbai's surprise training, Wu Manshuang was able to defeat Ying Ji Qinghong the next day.
“…”
Looking at the giant chessboard in front of him, and then at the other end of the board where the disciple looked respectful and serious, and seemed to be expecting praise, Ji Qinghong remained silent.
After a long while, he slowly said, "Are you going to play chess this time?"
Wu Manshuang was slightly stunned: "What?"
Ji Qinghong nodded and finalized the matter in an unquestionable tone: "--This time, the chessboard is yours."
Wu Manshuang: “?”
Wu Man Shuang only found out later that it didn’t count when playing chess against outsiders.
But when playing chess within the sect, no matter whether it is Jiang Tingbai or Mi Jichen, as long as they beat Ji Qinghong once, they have to make a new chessboard.
There's nothing special about this remastered board.
It was just a normal chessboard with 19 squares, but the chessboard that Ji Qinghong lost to each time was exactly one circle larger and had one more square than the previous one.
But it is conceivable that the more grids there are, the harder Ji Qinghong loses.
According to rumors in the martial arts world that are not guaranteed to be reliable, Ji Qinghong once lost more than 2,000 points in a game of chess, which can be said to have set a record in the world of cultivation.
Wu Manshuang, who later learned about this, said: "..."
Wu Manshuang was deeply shocked.
You know, the average person loses by dragging a one-game win situation to a best-of-three situation, and then dragging a best-of-three situation to a best-of-five situation.
And Ji Qinghong's... this way of not admitting his defeat is just too extraordinary!
Also, in the process of manually polishing the special super-large chessboard, Wu Man Shuang realized a truth.
——It turns out that sometimes, winning is also losing.
…
On that mountain peak, on an ordinary day, Wu Manyhuang, who had been practicing on the back cliff until midnight, was walking on a narrow path.
The moonlight was like frost, falling quietly on the peak.
Suddenly, Wu Manshuang looked up following the sound, and then noticed Ji Qinghong's lonely shadow in a corner of the flying pavilion.
His pure white hair seemed to melt in the moonlight. He bent one leg and let the other leg hang naturally over the edge of the eaves. He looked like a flying swan, drifting away in the moonlight.
Ji Qinghong lowered his head slightly, put a musical instrument close to his lips, and blew out one or two thin syllables from time to time.
Noticing Wu Manshuang's gaze, Ji Qinghong smiled slightly, his red eyes flashing, and then waved to him.
Ji Qinghong smiled cordially and said, "Have you been practicing till now? Come up and sit for a while."
This smile was like the shattering of glass and the rippling of water mirror.
The distant and almost desolate silhouette of Ji Qinghong just now seemed to have ceased to exist, melting into the cracks of time.
After Wu Manshuang sat down beside him, Ji Qinghong took out a musical instrument that was the same as his own, but smaller, from his storage bag and handed it to Wu Manshuang.
He smiled meaningfully and said, "You might as well learn a little bit. It's elegant, simple and natural. Little girls like to listen to it.
”
Wu Manshuang looked at the object in her palm, and because of her understanding of Ji Qinghong's character, she couldn't believe it.
"This is... a little simple, right?"
Ji Qinghong glanced at him slowly and said, "The truth is simple, and it is the ordinary that is moving."
He twirled the instrument in his hand, closed his eyes slightly, as if remembering a certain period he had experienced, and said with a smile: "Why, don't you believe it?"
Wu Manshuang hesitated for a moment, but still held the object in her hand tightly.
This musical instrument is extremely small and can be held in one palm. Now it is placed in Wu Man Shuang's palm, looking really cute.
Maybe... I would really like it? Wu Manshuang thought uncertainly.
Ji Qinghong said softly, "It's very simple. You can learn it in two or three tries."
Wu Manshuang asked, "Then may I ask, Master, are there any tricks to playing this instrument?"
What Wu Manshuang originally wanted to ask was about playing techniques.
But for some reason, Ji Qinghong's answer seemed a little irrelevant.
He hesitated for a moment, then quickly replied, "Be careful not to play to many girls at once, or you'll be more likely to get beaten."
That night, Wu Man Shuang mastered the use of this musical instrument.
The next day, Yan Luoyue rubbed his brows and pulled Wu Manshuang's sleeve.
"Manshuang, did Master act up again yesterday?"
Wu Manshuang tensed up all of a sudden: "Why do you say that?"
Naturally, this small change in expression could not be concealed by Yan Luoyue.
Yan Luoyue was slightly startled, and said incredulously: "No way, were you also in the disturbing sleep squad last night?"
Wu Manshuang touched Yan Luoyue's brow and smoothed her slightly furrowed brow.
He confessed: "That was Master teaching me—"
Yan Luoyue gasped on the spot.
"What are you doing? You're already in the cultivation world... He's still teaching you track and field events? What are you rehearsing for? Long-distance running or short-distance running? Four-person relay? Triathlon?"
This series of questions completely confused Wu Manshuang.
Wu Manshuang was stunned and said, "No, nothing... Why are you asking?"
Yan Luoyue said angrily, "You two blew the whistle all night long last night! Damn, I even thought someone was holding a military training drill in the middle of the night and asked all the trainees to march together!"
