Chapter 82 Difficulty
After Li Xiuyuan went down the mountain, he directly ordered Wu Fei and others to go to the cottage to get 10,000 taels of silver. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
Fortunately, he really did the fake drama before, he really transported 100,000 taels of silver to Wangchuan Mountain to redeem people, and left 10,000 taels of silver in Dahu Village to improve the lives of the villagers, and now there are 90,000 taels left.
"Immortals also want money?" Wu Fei couldn't help but widen his eyes after hearing the order.
Li Xiuyuan said, "Whether he wants money or not, as long as he is willing to exchange 10,000 taels for an elixir to heal my father, it is enough, go and return quickly." ”
"Yes. Wu Fei responded, took a few men and left quickly.
It was a full two hours before they came with a hard time carrying a box of silver.
10,000 taels of silver, hundreds of catties, but it's not so easy to carry.
"Help me carry me up the mountain. Li Xiuyuan said.
Several people answered, and carried the heavy box up the hill.
After walking and resting, it took another hour to reach the top of the mountain.
"Old man, I brought you the 10,000 taels of silver you wanted, I don't know where the elixir is?" Li Xiuyuan gave a salute and said.
The old man with a white beard was still sitting under the pine, playing chess comfortably.
"I see, you are a child of a rich and noble family, and this 10,000 taels of silver is not difficult for you. The old man smiled: "But the old man didn't say that after you completed this condition, the old man will give you the elixir." ”
"Are you playing tricks?" Li Xiuyuan immediately became a little angry.
"Hehe, naturally it's not a trick, cultivators never speak, so let's do it, there is still a rabbit skin blanket missing in my wooden house, if you can hunt twenty hares for me, I will consider giving you the elixir within three days. The old man said.
Li Xiuyuan held back the anger in his heart, and arched his hand and said, "Why do you need three days, just one day." ”
After saying that, he turned around and went down the mountain without hesitation.
After descending the mountain, he said, "Are there hares in the cottage?"
Wu Fei touched his bald head and said: "I caught a few when I was hunting in the mountains, and I threw them in the valley to raise, and now there are hundreds of them in the valley." ”
"Very well, go get twenty. Li Xiuyuan said.
"Master Da, this won't be another problem for that immortal. Iron Mountain said.
Li Xiuyuan shook his head and said, "I don't know, and he is not an immortal, he is a spirit who has attained the Tao, and his Taoism is very high, and it is not an exaggeration to say that he is an immortal, but I don't think he is a person who can give medicine sincerely, but whether he is sincere or not, I have to try, but I don't have so much time to spend here with a spirit, if I can't do it, I can only find another way." ”
He was anxious, but it was useless to be anxious at the moment.
Soon, Li Xiuyuan went up the mountain again.
This time he took twenty hares with him.
"Young man, I told you a long time ago, the elixir is not so easy to ask for, but don't be discouraged, this is a test of the gods for you, a test of your sincerity, if you can sincerely complete the test of the gods, maybe there is a chance to get a little reward." ”
Halfway up the mountain, the old woodcutter said with a smile.
Li Xiuyuan glanced at it, didn't speak, just went up the mountain by himself.
"Hehe, the young man is just impetuous, and he told you a long time ago, if you don't have the sincerity to ask for immortal medicine, you can't ask for the elixir. The old woodcutter laughed and continued to chop wood and make alchemy.
Soon.
Li Xiuyuan came to the top of the mountain and said: "Old man, I brought the twenty hares you wanted, I don't know if you are satisfied with this old man? My father is critically ill, and the time will not be delayed for long, so I ask the old man to send medicine." ”
"You are indeed a very blessed person, gold and silver, hares are difficult to bear these two tests, it seems that God wants me to give you this elixir, but ......" said the old man with white hair and beard with a smile.
"But nothing. Li Xiuyuan asked.
The old man with white hair and beard pointed to the game of chess in front of him: "If you can win the old man on this chessboard, the old man will have nothing to say, and this elixir will be given to you." ”
Play chess?
Li Xiuyuan immediately shook his head and said: "I am not very good at playing chess, and I am in a hurry, so I have no intention of playing chess, so I asked the old man to change to another request." ”
"You are a smart person, how do you know that you can't win if you don't play? Lao Yu has been playing chess here alone for decades, and he has never played with anyone else, maybe after you play, you will know that Lao Yu is not so difficult to win. The old man with white hair and beard smiled.
Li Xiuyuan walked over, sat down in front of the chessboard, and said seriously: "If I can't win against the old man, will the old man never give me the pill?"
"Not necessarily, maybe the old man will give you the elixir as soon as he is in a good mood. The old man with white hair said.
When Li Xiuyuan heard this, he had to hold back the urgency in his heart and his dissatisfaction with this old man, and played chess with this old man.
As a scholar, although he is not proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting for more than ten years, he knows a little bit about it.
Go, he can also play.
It's just that he's not proficient, after all, Li Xiuyuan has spent most of his time practicing martial arts.
But playing chess is about a state of mind, and now Li Xiuyuan is concerned about his father's illness and is upset, how can he calm down and play chess.
After a while, the old man with white hair and beard laughed and said, "You lose, let's do it again." ”
Li Xiuyuan was silent, so he had to continue to play chess with the old man.
After another half an hour, he was naturally not an opponent at all, and lost another game.
The old man with white hair and beard was happy: "Your chess skills are very rough, you should learn more." ”
Li Xiuyuan still didn't speak, still just playing chess with this old man.
Ten in a row, each of which was lost by Li Xiuyuan.
In addition to the reason for being upset and irritable, he is a mortal, and his chess skills are just beginners, how can he win this cultivator who has been studying on the chessboard for decades.
Every time he wins, the old man is happy and laughs happily.
"Since the old man is in a good mood, can he send a pill to Zaixia, after treating his father, he is willing to accompany the old man to play chess here for a month. Li Xiuyuan saw that this old man was in a good mood, so he spoke.
The old man with white hair and beard shook his head with a smile and said: "No, no, no, you haven't won the old man, you have won the old man, and the old man can give you the elixir." ”
"Didn't the old man say before, if I'm in a good mood, I can also give me a pill?" Li Xiuyuan said.
"Hehe, the old man just said that there is this possibility, not necessarily, young man, don't be so impatient, the elixir is not so easy to ask for, come, come, come, let's go on. The old man with white hair and beard smiled.
Li Xiuyuan was furious in his heart, and when he heard this, he almost pulled out his waist knife and stabbed it, but this old guy, this old thing is sincerely playing tricks on himself.
However, he thought of his father and endured it.
Another game of chess begins.
Li Xiuyuan, who held back the anger in his heart, exhaled slightly and calmed down.
"However, the old man should know that I can wait for the pill, but my father can't wait, he needs the pill to save his life. Li Xiuyuan said seriously.
The old man with white hair and beard said: "The fate of mortals has its own destiny, if your father's life does not deserve to die, you can naturally get the elixir from the hands of the old decay, if the qi is exhausted, then it is the meaning of the heavens, the old decay is powerless, whether it is a human being, or an immortal can not go against the sky." ”
"Click~!"
Hearing this, a chess piece in Li Xiuyuan's hand couldn't help but crush it directly because of too much force.
A good sentence is exhausted.
"Old man, you have to test your patience and sincerity, I hope the old man also has to grasp a measure, can't joke with my father's life, I have completed your two requirements before, 10,000 taels of silver, said to send it, twenty rabbit skins are also less than half a day to take up, as for you want me to accompany you to play chess, I have been with you for more than a day. ”
"I've been here for at least four or five days, and I want the old man to give me an explanation. ”
Li Xiuyuan stared at him and said.
"Young man, speak politely, if you have such an attitude, you should not ask for this elixir, go down the mountain. ”
The white-haired old man stroked his beard and smiled, pointing to the path leading to the bottom of the mountain.
Obviously, he was very dissatisfied with Li Xiuyuan's attitude, and he had the intention of driving people away.
Li Xiuyuan sat on the stubborn stone and stared at the old man for a long time before picking up one again and falling down.
"I've been observing you for a long time, old man, and I've been thinking about what kind of Daoist you are, whether you are a master of cultivation and a mountain spirit who has been a good person for a long time. ”
"Oh, you still have this eyesight? Well, the old man is so interested, tell me, what is the way of the old man. ”
The old man with white hair and beard drops at will, but each son hides a mystery and has the essence of chess.
