On the seventeenth floor of Babel Tower, on an open-air balcony with a small bridge and flowing water, two people were playing chess.
Sitting on the left is a middle-aged man with an elegant face, about forty, with long hair tied into an ancient bun, and a rather handsome appearance.
He was looking at the chessboard intently, and after a long while, he gently landed a piece.
The person sitting opposite him was a young man in his thirties with a shaved head.
Compared with the middle-aged man, his sitting posture is much more casual. One foot is resting on the stone bench, and his robe is half open, vaguely revealing the T-shirt underneath. The combination is very weird.
The short-haired young man had a look of impatience on his face. Seeing that the middle-aged man finally made a move, he breathed a long sigh of relief and followed up with a move.
"Changqing, when will you get rid of this frizzy habit?"
The middle-aged man shook his head, "I have told you a long time ago that playing chess is not just playing chess. It is just like studying. It is meditation. If you continue like this, when will you be able to find the path?"
"Third Senior Brother, I have changed a lot."
Liu Changqing waved his hand indifferently, "I can sit here and play chess with you honestly. Don't you think it's 'three days of farewell'?"
The middle-aged man was speechless for a moment. He didn't think about it again this time and quickly said, "You lose."
"Three games have passed, can I be relieved?" Although he lost, Liu Changqing seemed very happy. He pushed the chessboard, fell back on the chair, and fell asleep.
"Speaking of which, how did you do when the teacher asked you to recruit apprentices?"
Shi Dingyan didn't care about Liu Changqing's attitude. He collected the chess pieces on the table one by one and asked at the same time.
"Third Senior Brother, can't you talk to me about some pleasant topics? It's like this every time..."
Liu Changqing complained and sat up, "I still don't understand what teacher means. Do I think I can teach others? Damn..."
Seeing Shi Dingyan frowning, Liu Changqing shut up and yawned.
"It's okay to ask me to accept a disciple. I have to set tens of thousands of conditions. This is not allowed and that is not allowed. I am not allowed to choose in the academy, and I am not allowed to go to a key middle school. I am not allowed to accept a disciple. female……"
"I can't live this life!"
"Anyway, I feel cold this time. It's okay. I'm mentally prepared to go back to the bottom of the tower and continue to face the wall and think about my mistakes. Three years is all it takes!"
Looking at Liu Changqing, who was sighing with a look of reluctance on his face, Shi Dingyan said thoughtfully, "You should understand that the teacher wants you to take a real road..."
"Among the eight people, only you and Second Senior Sister can take this path. The teacher will not be wrong."
Seeing Liu Changqing wave his hand and lie down again, Shi Dingyan couldn't help but ask again, "Are those schools you went to really so bad, without even a single good seedling?"
"That's it. It's not a bad thing, but it's still far behind the lowest level of the academy. I've tried my best, but I guess the possibility of a miracle is still low."
Liu Changqing rubbed his eyebrows, suddenly felt something, and sat up again and turned around to look.
On the glass walkway leading to the balcony, Wu Hongxu hurried over holding the hem of his long-distance running game, "Sixth Senior Brother, it turns out you are at Third Senior Brother's place. I have been looking for you for a long time!"
"What's the matter?"
"There is someone down there who is looking for you, saying that he was entrusted by Shen Qian to ask for your help. Did you see him or not?" Wu Hongxu said, "I think he looks quite anxious..."
"Shen Qian?" Liu Changqing frowned.
"Know?" Shi Dingyan asked.
"Well, he's just a student from No. 7 Middle School. He has a decent temperament, but the rest is just average." Liu Changqing waved his hand, "No, let him go back."
"oh."
Wu Hongxu didn't say much, turned around and left.
"Wait a minute, did he say why he was looking for me?" Liu Changqing thought for a while and called Wu Hongxu again.
"I don't know about this, but before I came up, I saw that the man had been talking about seven orifices and eight orifices. Brother Jingwen asked him, and he said that Shen Qian told him, saying whether Shen Qian had seven or eight orifices, he was afraid If you forget, just keep reading and reciting..."
Before Wu Hongxu finished speaking, he found that he had been lifted up, and the one holding his collar was Liu Changqing with stern eyes.
"Tell me what the hell you are talking about?"
"I don't know either. I came up to you in a hurry and didn't even finish listening."
"Next time, remember to focus on the front!"
Liu Changqing took a deep breath, resisted the urge to hit, and threw Wu Hongxu aside with a flick, and his figure disappeared like the wind.
Wu Hongxu blinked innocently, looked at Shi Dingyan next to him who had a thoughtful expression on his face, and asked blankly: "What does third senior brother, sixth senior brother mean?"
"Haha." Shi Dingyan came back to his senses and smiled softly, "Just wait, maybe your sixth brother will hold a big banquet in a few days."
"Ah?" Wu Hongxu said in surprise, "Is it possible that Sixth Senior Brother... is finally getting married?"
Shi Dingyan glanced at Wu Hongxu, and then couldn't help but sigh, "You and Wei Yun should study less and go out more when you have time. Don't make yourself stupid by studying..."
Wu Hongxu scratched his head, looking even more confused.
Seeing this, Shi Dingyan shook his head and said no more. He sat back beside the stone table and waved, "Just in time, come and accompany me for the next round."
…
In the square outside the Bronze Tower, Wang Yangming was wandering anxiously.
That Wu thing had been up there for an hour, and then he seemed to have disappeared and never came out again.
The despair in Lao Wang's heart was like waves, one after another.
When he was thinking about whether to ask Teacher Liu for help, a figure appeared in front of him unexpectedly.
The strong hurricane blew up and caused Wang Yangming to tilt. Fortunately, someone came to hold him in time and he did not fall down the steps.
"Are you Shen Qian's classmate?" Liu Changqing asked directly after Wang Yangming stood still.
"It's me, are you..." Although the person in front of him was disheveled and not very serious, Wang Yangming felt that he seemed to be a strong man, so he asked cautiously.
"Liu Changqing."
"You are Liu Changqing...ah, great, I finally found you." Wang Yangming clenched his fists excitedly.
"What did Shen Qian tell you? Repeat his exact words to me word for word." Liu Changqing asked, staring at Wang Yangming.
"He suddenly called me in the middle of the night last night, saying that he was in big trouble and asked me to come here to find Liu... It's about your help. Then he said something I couldn't quite understand, but he said you can definitely listen. I understand." Wang Yangming recalled.
"What are you talking about?" Liu Changqing was impatient, but still held back his temper and asked.
"He said he has seven orifices and will not let you down."
Wang Yangming repeated what Shen Qian said on the phone, although he himself felt that this sentence was very confusing. Don't everyone have seven orifices...
"Did he really say that?"
A fiery light burst out from Liu Changqing's eyes, which stung Wang Yangming's cheeks.
Seeing Wang Yangming nodding repeatedly, Liu Changqing was about to leave, but suddenly remembered something. He stopped and asked suspiciously, "Then why did Wu Hongxu say "eight orifices" and what does that mean?"
"This..." Wang Yang was obviously in a dilemma.
"Since he is in big trouble and you are still so hesitant, why don't you want to save him?" Liu Changqing narrowed his eyes.
"What Shen Qian said to me was, if seven orifices can't impress you, then I'll tell you that he has eight orifices. Thinking about it, that should be enough..." Seeing this, Wang Yangming had no choice but to tell the truth under the intimidation of Liu Changqing.
It's really because Lao Wang didn't understand what the seven orifices and eight orifices meant, and he wasn't sure how to impress Liu Changqing, so he just said it all in one go.
Liu Changqing took a deep breath, looked up at the sky, and was speechless for a long time.
Just when Wang Yangming was anxious and wanted to ask, Liu Changqing finally asked, "Where is he?"
"He said he was in some martial arts bureau, do you know..."
Wang Yangming stopped talking, because Liu Changqing had disappeared without a trace just as he came.
