The Peach Blossom Valley is a paradise on earth that is isolated from the outside world and cannot be entered by ordinary people, because it is surrounded by four steep peach blossom peaks with a height of two hundred feet. If this person were not a person who has been famous in the world for a long time and has excellent martial arts, other people would not be able to enter. It is said that if you go in and know this place, I am afraid that no matter which side of the Peach Blossom Peak you want to climb, it will be difficult to reach the sky.
But in such a place unknown to outsiders, a huge villa that is difficult to describe in words has been built. Its name is "Yuluo". Just on the front, there are three amazing beast-headed gates. It is said that it is It is a villa, but it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a city. If the storytellers in the teahouse and restaurant knew about it, they would definitely praise it even more.
Yuluo Villa.
Fengxiao Pavilion.
Although it is not as grand as the main entrance of the villa, which is like a city, and it will make people feel shocked at first sight, but it is very beautiful, with beautiful mountains and rivers, and splendid spring scenery. At a glance, it is the scene of spring outing in the south of the Yangtze River. style. But the most beautiful thing is still not as beautiful as the century-old peach tree in the middle of Yuanxin Lake.
At this moment, two figures were sitting under the peach blossom tree.
One of them was wearing green boots, a green shirt, and a yellow jade belt. He exuded a strong aura of a young man from a wealthy family, but his movements were lazy, and he was leaning lazily on the mahogany chair made of a thousand gold coins. It's not like the posture of someone who looks like he's in his twenties.
The other one has a white beard and is wearing a white robe with a faint air of immortal righteousness. But the strange thing is that the immortals are not all old men in their seventies or eighties as mentioned in the fairy tales. Although they have silver hair and beards, their faces look like middle-aged people.
The young man in green shirt is named Xiao Chunqiu, and the silver-haired middle-aged man is also named Xiao, Xiao Lingchen.
At this time, the two were sitting opposite each other and playing chess.
Suddenly Xiao Chunqiu lazily yawned, raised his finger and pointed at the jade chessboard made of ancient blue jade, and said: "Sir, half an hour has passed. Do you want to play this chess or not?" ?”
The two of them have been playing this game of chess for three full hours. Xiao Chunqiu is holding the white piece. He is definitely a master because of his advanced chess skills. It can be seen that in this game of chess, Xiao Chunqiu is far better than Xiao Lingchen in both offense and defense. With one chip in hand, now all it takes is one more piece, and then this game of chess will definitely be a winner or a loser.
However, Xiao Lingchen, who was holding the black piece with a confused expression, knew that the outcome of this chess game was decided, but he just refused to accept it. He just wanted to find a flaw to turn defeat into victory, so that he has been in a stalemate for three hours now.
In the end, even Xiao Chunqiu, who seemed to have no energy, started urging him.
Seeing that Xiao Lingchen, who was busy on the chessboard with their eyes crossed, ignored his words, he was not impatient. He reached out and picked up a glass of Sangluo wine that had been poured aside and drank it.
Then, he poured another glass leisurely and drank it by himself.
Soon, another stick of incense passed. Xiao Lingchen finally showed a smile on his face. He put his index finger and middle finger together and waved forward gently, and a sunspot flew steadily. Falling on the ancient sapphire chessboard.
"You brat, don't be anxious. You have to play this chess step by step to show your pride, hahaha..." Xiao Lingchen looked at the chessboard and touched his beard with satisfaction. Suddenly his voice changed and he pointed at Xiao Chunqiu and cursed, "But you brat, I haven't seen you for a few months, and your chess skills have improved a lot. Do you still want to live?"
But Xiao Chunqiu turned a blind eye to the middle-aged man's insults as if he had long been used to it. He slowly drank a glass of Sangluo wine and said, "But just now I remember that I gave you two moves in this chess game. How could this happen?" Can’t survive?”
"Okay, you stinky boy... No, I have defeated the old man and me in seven games in a row today. I can't win anymore." The middle-aged man's face was a little confused for a moment, but suddenly his expression changed, and he looked like a rogue. He raised his eyebrows at Xiao Chunqiu: "Give in again, give in, hehe..."
Seeing this funny scene, the young man remained unmoved and said unceremoniously: "As the saying goes, there is no father and son on the battlefield, and it is even more so that it is just a game of chess. How can one give or not?"
After saying that, he picked up a white stone and threw it away casually.
Although he just dropped it casually, it was just a chess piece dropped so casually, but Xiao Lingchen, who was begging for help, was killed in pieces by the sunspots, and there was no way he could recover.
There will only be one result in the end.
lose!
As the outcome was determined with one move, the expression on Xiao Lingchen's face froze for an instant, as if a thunderbolt struck him from behind.
Not long after, he raised his head and looked at Xiao Chunqiu with a pitiful look, thinking to himself, I can't believe that the brat he worked so hard to bring up would now treat me like this, an old man, and wouldn't even let me play a game of chess. Oh, really. yes....
But Xiao Chunqiu had no interest in paying attention to it. He still had that lazy look, minding his own business, drinking Sanluo wine one cup after another in a leisurely manner. It seemed that he was not the one who won the chess game before, but rather like a spectator. of others.
When Xiao Lingchen saw the brat in front of him, he still had the same indifferent expression. His heart was filled with anger, and he couldn't care less about the shame. He immediately leaned back and fell to the ground, imitating the three-year-old child's behavior. He poured out, and kept complaining: "Oh, I lost again, lost again, uh uh uh... forget it if I lose, but I also lost eight games in a row, and I lost eight games in a row. Forget it, but still..."
Fortunately, the two of them were sitting cross-legged on the ground playing chess, and the Fengxiao Pavilion was relatively spacious. Otherwise, with Xiao Lingchen rolling like this, it would have been a matter of time before he fell into the lake.
However, Xiao Chunqiu seemed not to be surprised by the somewhat unpleasant scene in front of him. Although sometimes it would make him speechless, but fortunately there was no one else here. If there was a third party, he would definitely be embarrassed to death, and maybe he would even pretend not to know him.
However, when faced with this situation, Xiao Chunqiu naturally had his own unique opinions.
That is, pretending to turn a blind eye.
So, after Xiao Chunqiu drank the last glass of Sangluo wine slowly, he straightened his sleeves, stood up, and walked towards the hanging flower door. He didn't even glance at Xiao Lingchen, who was rolling and acting on the ground.
The road from Fengxiao Pavilion to the outside of the lake is not long, only three hundred steps away. Ordinary people can walk out of Yuanxin Lake without even needing three hundred steps.
But Xiao Chunqiu had to walk more than two hundred steps to reach only half of the distance, and there was no trace of impatience on his face.
But the next moment, he suddenly stopped, his brows furrowed, and his eyes looked impatiently at the eastern sky.
Because there was a sound in the direction of the sky: "Bang! Bang! Bang!" The sound came one after another. It was none other than someone digging into the mountain there.
At this time, even Xiao Lingchen, who was rolling on the ground, was also attracted to him. There was obviously impatience on his face, even more so than Xiao Chunqiu.
As if he still hadn't gotten over the sadness of losing eight games in a row, he pointed to the sky in the east and started to curse: "You guys, are you bothered? Why do you come to my place every day? I don't know what I lost, old man." Are you sad, Qi Zheng? If I couldn't get out of this peach blossom valley, I would have dealt with you long ago."
After scolding him, he unintentionally dropped the losing piece on the chessboard. His face gradually turned into a cry, and he fell to the ground and began to splash again.
Naturally, Xiao Chunqiu knew the "group of people" Xiao Lingchen was talking about.
It is said that it was sent by a large chamber of commerce in the real estate business in Cangyuan City to build a huge mansion and garden in this mountainous area. Unfortunately, the one to the east of Peach Blossom Valley Peach Blossom Tree Peak is also within the plan of the big chamber of commerce.
No, this is the state of being in a state of ruin after being driven for more than thirty days in a row, but not even a stone was blown down.
Even those who are born with an exquisite heart may be annoyed by having explosive things made of gunpowder open for more than thirty days in a row.
What the Chamber of Commerce doesn't know is that the entire Peach Blossom Valley, including Peach Blossom Mountain to the east, is protected by a formation called Sifang Hidden Fall. Although outsiders cannot see it, they can still see the mountain peak.
At the same time, that mountain peak is also one of the four formation eyes of the Four Directions Hiding Formation. If you want to explode the mountain peak, you must first break the formation.
People outside cannot see what's going on inside, but people inside know what's going on outside. This is the subtlety of the Sifang Yinluo Formation. But the only drawback is that they can't go out, otherwise the two of them wouldn't have let the group of people outside bomb the mountain for more than thirty days.
"Bang! Bang! Bang!"
Loud explosions kept coming from the east, and the explosions today seemed to be more violent than the previous few days. The birds and beasts in the Peach Blossom Valley were frightened and ran around, and some even hit the peach blossom trees and fainted.
Even Xiao Chunqiu, who was usually not interested in anything, had a hint of annoyance on his lazy face at this moment, and he couldn't help but curse in his heart, why is there such a thing as bombing a mountain every day.
As he spoke, he gently brushed his sleeves.
Then, he couldn't take any more interest in taking another look, withdrew his gaze, returned to his lazy look, and walked straight towards the Chuihua Gate.
But suddenly, another voice forced him to stop again.
It was a very thin and crisp sound, as if something was breaking. Xiao Chunqiu frowned slightly and thought: "Is this... is this... the formation... broken?"
But the three words "The formation is broken" overlapped with another voice, it was Xiao Lingchen.
I didn't know when Xiao Lingchen had jumped to Xiao Chunqiu's side. He no longer looked like he was rolling around, but had a serious attitude, but also with a bit of anger.
Xiao Chunqiu was not surprised by the middle-aged man who suddenly appeared next to him, but looked in the direction of the sound together with Xiao Lingchen.
Just look, the looming turtle shell covering half of the sky to the east of Peach Blossom Valley is cracking at a speed visible to the naked eye. It was slow at first, but the cracking speed became faster and faster. Within a few breaths, most of the eastern sky was covered with cracks glowing with golden light.
The two looked there quietly for a while, and found that the trend was obviously not going to stop, and was still spreading to the entire turtle shell.
"You bunch of rats, don't think that people are easy to bully." Xiao Lingchen shouted loudly, his toes touched the ground lightly, and a white shadow shot straight into the air. His sleeves were waving, and his true energy flowed out like a stream. Dao Zhenqi poured straight into the cracked barrier.
He knew in his heart that once the Sifang Yinluo Formation was broken, it would not only be as simple as Yuluo Villa reappearing in the world, but many things would happen one after another, and it would even cause some unnecessary trouble.
Therefore, this formation cannot be broken.
However, it was already too late. There was only a clear and huge cracking sound of "bang". The entire turtle shell shrouded in the Peach Blossom Valley instantly shattered into tens of thousands of fragments, scattered to the ground, and then disappeared without a trace. trace.
Seeing this, the middle-aged man also stopped in the air. His sleeves and robes shook, and his true energy dispersed like a stream. He stepped into the void and sighed for a long time. After a long time, he turned around and fell back to Xiao Chunqiu leisurely. : "Chunqiu, go out and take a look, and you will find out who is causing trouble. The thing that can break the old man's hiding place in all directions must not be the explosive gunpowder."
"Yes, Grandpa." This time, Xiao Chunqiu did not ignore the weird old man in front of him, because he still had to pay attention to what he said in a serious state. Moreover, he also felt that there must be something fishy in it if a small amount of gunpowder could not break the formation.
Xiao Chunqiu answered and walked out of the Weeping Flower Gate, but the process was still slow.
It wasn't until Xiao Chunqiu's figure disappeared from sight that Xiao Lingchen stretched out his hand to pick up a peach petal, looked up at the sky, sighed and said, "After so many years, is it finally here?"
