C370 Xiangxi Corpse King
Deep in the mountains, in the woods, in the thatched pavilion;
The night, the autumn wind, and the cold moonlight.
A stone table, two stone stools, and an old man.
"Greetings, Senior. " Lin Yuhan bowed. "May I know why senior brought junior here?"
On the other hand, after Lin Yuhan went to the inn and arranged everything, he had just laid down. Not long after, a dart broke through the window and flew straight towards him. Lin Yuhan immediately jumped up and caught the dart.
"There is a reason for everything. " The words on the dart instantly attracted Lin Yuhan's attention. What did it mean? He still did not understand. It was just that this word was written with vigorous strokes. Being arrogant and domineering, one would know that he is not an ordinary person at first sight. Moreover, if Lin Yuhan was not mistaken, these words should have been forcefully carved by that person using his inner energy. There were only a handful of people in the martial arts world who could have such a cultivation base.
Who was the person who wrote? What was he trying to say with these words? Just as Lin Yuhan was puzzled, he suddenly saw a black shadow flash past the window. Such speed was rarely seen in this world. Lin Yuhan immediately followed. From dusk to sunset. They followed them all the way to the outside of Jiang City. In the old forest, next to this unknown thatched pavilion. . .
"Have a seat. " The old man raised his right hand slightly and gestured.
Lin Yuhan didn't say anything. He just cupped his fist once again and bowed. After that, he slowly walked into the pavilion and sat opposite the old man.
The old man ignored him and didn't speak again. He minded his own business and brushed away the fallen leaves on the table. After that, he slowly got up and placed his hand on the table to carefully blow away the dust on the table.
His clothes were ragged and his face was withered. He was skinny and hunched. There was a gourd hanging from his waist, and a gourd was tied to his head. There was also a gourd tied to the top of the cane. Who would have thought that this old man in front of him would be so old? The old man who never worried about the future was actually someone who could make people tremble in fear in the Pugilistic World. The Xiangxi unmarked common graves's Sect Master, "Xiangxi Corpse King" Ke Nanxing, whose expression had changed due to his words.
It was still the same, after only a few breaths, he was already tired to the point of gasping for breath, coughing a few times in a row. Finally, he had no choice but to sit down. He looked at Lin Yuhan, "Young Master Lin, you don't want to help me?"
Lin Yuhan looked at Ke Nanxing, then at the walking stick next to Ke Nanxing. It was such an ordinary walking stick. It had actually stabbed into the limestone floor under his feet, and there were no cracks around it.
Lin Yuhan did not say anything. He raised his hand and slowly brushed it. Suddenly, he felt a gust of wind. The dust and dirt behind his finger were swept up inch by inch, and not a single grain fell down.
"Buzz!" Lin Yuhan waved his sleeve. The dust and dirt immediately drifted away in the air and scattered in the cold autumn night with the wind.
After the dust settled, a chessboard appeared in front of Lin Yuhan.
"I wonder if Young Master Lin is interested in playing the next game with me?" Ke Nanxing said and coughed a few times.
"Junior's chess skills are poor. I'm afraid I'm not worthy to spar with senior. "
"That means I'm interested. "
"Unfortunately, I don't have any chess pieces"
"That's easy. " Ke Nanxing slowly raised his arm and pointed at the chessboard. A black dot the size of a chess piece appeared on his fingertip. "Please take one. " Ke Nanxing waved his hand.
Lin Yuhan looked at Ke Nanxing and did not say anything. He also lifted his right hand and extended his index finger. He gently pressed on the chessboard. When Lin Yuhan raised his finger, a circular groove appeared on the chessboard. It was neither too big nor too small, just the size of a chess piece.
"Young Master Lin is good at martial arts. " He lifted his arm again and made a black dot on the board.
"Not as good as senior," Ke Nanxing said. Lin Yuhan said and pressed another notch.
"It's a pity. " Ke Nanxing said, "If Young Master Lin plays like this, this chessboard will be destroyed in the future. "
"Anything that should not be destroyed should be destroyed. We have to do our best to eliminate the root of the problem. "
Ke Nanxing froze when he heard this. He raised his head and looked at Lin Yuhan. "Young Master Lin, what do you mean by something that shouldn't be there?"
"There is no summary. For example, the rat poop in chicken soup is something that shouldn't exist. "
"Humph!" Ke Nanxing smiled coldly and said, "If you dare to ask Young Master Lin, how do you know which part of the soup is chicken and which part is rat poop? Have you tasted it yourself? Cough! Cough!"
"I don't need to taste it. As long as it's a person, you'll know at a glance. " Saying so, he added another piece.
"Good chess, good chess. This move is really overbearing. " Ke Nanxing said and took off the wine calabash at his waist. He took out two wine glasses from his arms and placed them on the table. He filled them up one by one. Then he stood up and slowly pushed one glass in front of Lin Yuhan. "I hope Young Master Lin remembers what he shouldn't have, so he should destroy it. He spared no effort to get rid of the roots. "
Lin Yuchen was stunned. He looked up at Ke Nanxing and asked, "What do you mean?"
"Young master naturally knows that rat poop is rat poop after all. No matter who he is or what his background is, Ke Nanxing said. " As he spoke, he raised his wine cup. "I wonder if I have the fortune to have a drink with Young Master. I hope you can treat me equally and not dislike me. "
"This?" Lin Yuhan was stunned. He looked at Ke Nanxing, then at the wine glass in front of him. His eyes were dull and expressionless, and he didn't say anything for a long time.
"I'll drink it up first. " As soon as he finished speaking, he drank it all in one gulp. After putting down the wine cup, he dropped a piece.
Lin Yuhan also dropped a piece. At the same time, he also picked up the wine cup. In the blink of an eye, a cup of wine had already entered his stomach.
"Young Master Lin, you are really brave. " Once he finished speaking, he lifted his finger. A wave of wine flew out from the gourd and fell straight into Lin Yuhan's wine cup. "There are not many people in this world who dare drink with me. "
Lin Yuhan did not speak. He picked up the cup on the table again and drank it all in one gulp.
"What a good alcohol tolerance. " Ke Nanxing once again poured another glass for Lin Yuhan in the same way. "Young Master Lin, are you not afraid that this wine is poisonous?"
Before Ke Nanxing could finish, Lin Yuhan drank another glass of wine.
"Humph!" Ke Nanxing sneered. "Looks like I don't have this kind of appetite. However, this was originally the Sword Sect's wine, so it should be drunk by the people of the Sword Sect. " After saying that, he added another cup.
After a while, the pot of wine was finished. As for the chess game in front of him, he had already played dozens of moves. The overall situation had been decided. Ke Nanxing had an obvious advantage. He weaved and weaved in a complicated manner, like a huge net covering the chessboard. As for Lin Yuhan's chess style, it was scattered all over the world, and he was trapped by Ke Nanxing to the point of being aggrieved.
"Looks like I won this game. " Ke Nanxing smiled and said, "Although young master's chess skills are high, you have fallen into my trap. No, it should be said that young master has jumped into my trap. "
"Puff!" As soon as Ke Nanxing finished speaking, Lin Yuhan spat out a mouthful of blood.
"Young master, please don't misunderstand. " Ke Nanxing said, "The wine is not poisonous. I have admired young master's courage for a long time. Today's game of chess is true, and drinking with young master is also true. However, it is also true that I want to kill you. " After saying that, he slowly stood up with the crutch in his hand.
