Sword Dao Alchemy

Xia Ruoxi rented an exquisite small courtyard in Chaoyang Courtyard, and paid all the rent.

Lin Yun didn't insist, Xia Ruoxi naturally wanted to entangle you.

For a little rent, not worth it.

Afterwards, the two of them sat around and exchanged a few innocuous words.

Lin Yun had a headache. He knew that Xia Ruoxi would not leave easily.

She could go on and on with such boring words.

Just when Lin Yun had a headache, a maid hurried over and whispered to Xia Ruoxi.

Lin Yun had no intention of investigating, otherwise, no matter how quiet his voice was, it would not be able to escape his detection.

After saying a few short words, Xia Ruoxi stood up and said to Lin Yun: "Lin Yun! I'm sorry, my mother is calling me. I can only leave first."

Then, she smiled sweetly and said, "How about... you come with me to meet me?"

"No! It's better for the princess to go alone." Lin Yun shook his head. caso.

"What? Do you think it's my mother's fault or my fault?" Xia Ruoxi asked.

"No...it's just that I feel a little uncomfortable going." Lin Yun didn't know how to answer.

Fortunately, Xia Ruoxi was also a little anxious and looked at Lin Yun with a shy smile.

"Then wait until you feel comfortable before going to see her..."

Then he drifted away and never looked back.

"What a troublesome person..."

Lin Yun sighed.

Looking at this beautiful little courtyard, I suddenly felt that there was nothing interesting about it.

"It's better to go out for a walk..."

"No matter what, it's good to get familiar with this place..."

Lin Yun left the small courtyard.

After taking a few steps, an old man with pale beard and hair came over.

The old man kept everything clean and tidy, and he was still a one-star martial emperor.

He is just a guy who has no hope of further cultivation and spends his days at home, drinking tea and chatting all day long.

"Young man, the princess of the royal family brought us here to live in such a nice place. It has a great background!"

The old man seemed to be speaking with a pinched voice, and his eyes when looking at Lin Yun were full of gossip.

"Ha! What's my background? It's just that they think I have a background..."

Lin Yun smiled faintly. Indeed, in this strange place, he should be just an ordinary person.

"Little guy... If you are still ordinary, then there are a few extraordinary people in Rising Sun City." The old man smiled mysteriously and glanced around.

Lin Yun followed his eyes and saw a lot of people staring at him and immediately looking away, pretending to be nonchalant.

"Ha! Then consider me extraordinary! Otherwise, I won't be sorry for this special care." Lin Yun didn't care.

"Young people... are very special... It's better to keep a low profile. So, why don't you go to places with a lot of trouble and just go to places with few people and deserted places..." The old man sighed and thought about himself. 's walked away.

Lin Yun didn't want to ask him any more questions. In short, such old men could not be encountered during adventures. They were everywhere in this comfortable place.

"But...his suggestion seems to be right!"

"As for me, I don't have any clear goals now."

"We can only wait passively."

"So, it's good to go to a quiet place with few people, calm down, and make preparations..."

Lin Yun thought to himself and walked along the street towards the place with few people.

As we walked, we were beyond the confines of Chaoyang Villa, and there was a large lake in front of us.

The scenery is not great, but it is quiet.

There are not many people playing here, and most of them are old men and women who have no desire to practice.

"Actually...this kind of quiet life is not bad..."

"Even in the eyes of some people, living like this for a year is more worthwhile than living a thousand years of hard work..."

Lin Yun sighed secretly and walked slowly along the ancient bluestone path by the lake.

When he walked to a secluded lake bay and saw the bamboos whirling and the green carpet like a carpet, Lin Yun couldn't help but stop and enjoy the quiet and cool feeling.

"Young man... why bother sighing in vain? How about coming over to drink with me and play a game?"

Suddenly a voice sounded.

Lin Yun was startled and looked towards the source of the sound.

I saw a trail hidden among the dense bamboos.

Lin Yun followed the path and could not walk more than a hundred feet, only to see an open space among the bamboo trees.

There is an ancient stone table and four stone benches.

An old man was sitting at the table, staring at the chessboard in front of him in a daze.

There is not a single chess piece on the chessboard.

Only in the middle, between the Chu River and the Han realm, was there strange power fluctuations surging.

When the light falls on the surging waves, you instantly feel like you have entered an ancient battlefield.

Thousands of troops and horses galloped to fight, rivers of blood and fire criss-crossed...

Lin Yun's eyes flashed slightly and he retreated from the image.

I know that this old man is a master of mental skills.

So he stepped forward and bowed respectfully and said, "Lin Yun has met senior."

The old man actually waved his hand and said: "If you want to play chess with me, then play chess. Where are all the red tape..."

Lin Yun knew that the old man was weird and invited him over to play chess, but he was so unreasonable.

For such unreasonable people, the best thing to do is to be straightforward.

Play chess!

Lin Yun sat down unceremoniously.

Without touching the chess pieces, he first took out his own wine, poured two glasses, one for himself and one for the other side of the old man.

The old man didn't refuse.

Throw an unknown spiritual fruit over casually.

But obviously the quality and value are not low.

Lin Yun took it and took a bite directly, not polite at all.

He took another sip of wine, the wine and the fruit complement each other, very satisfied.

"Hua La~~~"

The old man took out a bag and poured the chess pieces on the chessboard.

The chess pieces were already in their positions while rolling.

Lin Yun glanced at it and pushed another soldier casually, and the game began.

Since we want to be low-key, let's start with a soldier.

Moreover, the victory or defeat of a game of chess is not that important, right?

However, the old man did not think so.

He did not rush to move, but said slowly and quietly: "The victory or defeat of a game of chess may not be important to you, but to me it is like my life."

"I can lose, but I can't play a game of chess with a losing attitude."

"If it is to protect the most important thing to me, nothing else matters... This is my attitude."

At this point, the old man's dim eyes suddenly became bright.

He stared at Lin Yun and asked carefully: "Now... can you consider taking another step?"

"No need!" Lin Yun shook his head and said: "Chess can be played again, but what about the path of life?"

"So, just go like this!"

"Even if I lose, I can't lose the most important thing to me."

"This is also my attitude!"

Lin Yun's expression became solemn.

Now, the path of life and chess are tied together.

At least in his heart, Lin Yun has this attitude.
