…
Those who were familiar with Song Qianqiu knew that the old man's temper wasn't very good. It could even be said that he was quite eccentric, the kind that made people unable to get close to him.
Not to mention the younger generation, even the old men of the same age as Old Master Song were rarely able to get along well with him.
It was really because although Song Qianqiu came from the Qimen Dunjia Sect and his status in the sect was quite high, his hobby was still the way of chess.
This was also the reason why he fused the Way of Formations and the Way of Chess. Only by fusing what he had learned and loved together could his life become colorful — at least, that was what he thought.
Loving chess was no big deal, but being obsessed with chess was a bit of a problem. In the words of some old men, he was a bad chess player who couldn't afford to lose!
Song Qianqiu loved to play chess, but purely on the level of chess, he really wasn't very strong. He could barely deal with ordinary people, but against a master, he would definitely die. It wasn't a problem to say that he was a bad chess player.
People who loved to play chess naturally didn't like to lose all the time. Once or twice was no problem, but losing every time in a row was very unpleasant.
Old Song was unhappy, so he began to play tricks when playing chess … He integrated the way of formations into the chessboard, and the opponent playing chess with him would suffer if they were careless.
Once Old Song played tricks, then the game wasn't a real game anymore. It lost its flavor and became boring. In this way, no one was willing to play chess with him.
This was also the reason why when Qin Fang met Song Qianqiu for the first time, Song Qianqiu played his own game on the chessboard instead of finding an opponent to play with.
He finally met Qin Fang, a chess friend. In terms of chess skills, Qin Fang should be better than Old Song, so Old Song didn't want to lose, so he could only play tricks.
As soon as the illusion formation appeared on the chessboard, Old Master Song would always be able to kill the enemy easily. However, when he encountered Qin Fang, the situation was not right. Although Qin Fang's level in Qian Shu was not as good as Song Qianqiu's, when the two of them combined, he was almost as good as Old Master Song.
In the past few days, Qin Fang's level of dealing with illusion had improved, but Old Song's level of formations was much higher than Qin Fang's. He also constantly increased the power of the formations on the chessboard. At first, it was limited to low-level illusion formations, but gradually added high-level illusion formations, and even maze formations, killing formations …
In short, the process of the two people playing chess was actually the process of competing with each other. It was a little dangerous, but both sides' control was quite good. They were the kind that stopped when it was appropriate.
Qin Fang's horizons were broadened. His level of formations was still very low. At most, he was only in contact with low-level illusion formations.
For example, Qin Fang had used Flower Substitution, Plum Substitution, and so on. They were all relatively simple low-level illusion formations … Some Dark Crossing Chen Cang, Stealing the Sky, and Sun Swapping were considered high-level illusion formations.
When Qin Fang and Ye Huan gambled, they used the prop box to cheat. As a result, the old referee thought that Qin Fang used Stealing the Sky and Sun Swapping. He was shocked at that time!
In fact, Qin Fang's level of formations wasn't at that level at all … He couldn't do it then, and he still couldn't do it now!
Qin Fang estimated that he would have to wait until his Thousand Arts level reached the intermediate level. With the advantage of the Thousand Chance Ring + 1000 Arts skill, it would be equivalent to reaching the advanced level of Thousand Arts. Perhaps then he would be able to use the Stealing the Sky, Swapping the Sun.
Qin Fang couldn't use it, but Old Master Song was familiar with it. From time to time, he would play this trick on Qin Fang, which made Qin Fang quite depressed.
Fortunately, Qin Fang could always figure out a way to break it. This was why the two sides had been in a stalemate.
So Qin Fang's level was rising, and Old Master Song's formations were also rising. These two were rising at the same time. Qin Fang was always in a state of being on par with Old Master Song.
Both of them enjoyed this leisurely friendship. No one was willing to break it … It was just that some things were not as easy as they imagined.
On this day, Qin Fang and Old Master Song still made an appointment to play chess at Chen's Roasted Goose Restaurant.
The old man was a frequent customer here. It was said that he grew up nearby when he was very young. He grew up eating Chen's Roasted Goose.
He had been running around outside for decades. Now that he had returned here in his old age, he wanted to return to his roots. On one hand, he wanted to reminisce about the lost years. Only this Roasted Goose that hadn't changed much for decades could have such an effect.
Therefore, Old Master Song Qianqiu always came here to eat Roast Goose every few days and studied Go skills alone … until he met Qin Fang, a very good Go friend.
Today was originally the same as before. The two sat down, ordered a Roasted Goose, and began to play chess. Relatively speaking, they were quite engrossed in the game.
Old Master Song enjoyed the process of playing chess, and Qin Fang cared about improving his level of using the Qian Shu, as well as some small skills that couldn't be learned by training alone.
Old Master Song was a senior of the Qian Shu. He had been studying the Qian Shu for decades. This experience was far from Qin Fang's. A little skill that he casually revealed was enough for Qin Fang to ponder for a while.
Therefore, these two were actually taking what they needed when playing chess. They both had their own gains …
It was just –
Today, Qin Fang seemed to have forgotten to look at the almanac when he went out. He didn't choose the right day. It was destined that today would not be so peaceful.
Squeak ~ ~
Just when the two were seriously engrossed in playing chess, a series of sudden braking sounds came. It was quite harsh. Even these two couldn't help but frown.
However, the two didn't care too much. This Chen's Roasted Goose Restaurant's Roasted Goose was very famous. There were many customers here. There were almost all kinds of people.
When there were more people, naturally, there would be a mix of good and bad people. No one could guarantee that they would all be polite. Even if they were a little unhappy, they couldn't say anything. Who asked them to choose this place?
After the emergency braking, they heard the car door open. Many people got out of the car. Some of them were gangsters dressed very strangely, while the other group was wearing black suits and sunglasses. They looked like bodyguards. Such a scene was really strange.
What was even more surprising was that these people were actually together. Obviously, they were all gangsters. Some of the customers in the store couldn't help but want to slip away.
"What do you want to eat, guests?"
When the owner of the Roasted Goose Restaurant saw these gangsters appear, his face suddenly became bitter. He quickly came over to greet them, fearing that they would annoy these people and smash his store.
"It's none of your business … Who is Qin Fang?"
He only saw a gangster who didn't look like a good person. He seemed to be the leader of this group of gangsters. He didn't even bother to look at the store owner. He gently pushed him away and directly roared at the customers in the store. Suddenly, many customers were scared …
Hearing someone call his name, Qin Fang was also slightly stunned. At this time, his hand that was about to play chess paused slightly. He couldn't help but look over here, as if he wanted to see who was looking for him.
"Could it be Brother Sanshui?"
Seeing that the people who came were all gangsters, Qin Fang couldn't help but have such a thought in his mind, although he expressed considerable doubts about it.
"Play chess, play chess …"
Old Master Song on the side seemed to not care about these gangsters at all. When he saw Qin Fang pausing, he immediately urged him unhappily.
"They're coming, they're coming …"
Old Master Song was unhappy. Although Qin Fang felt that it was a little strange, he didn't particularly care. No matter what these gangsters' intentions were, Qin Fang was too lazy to pay attention to these gangsters. He continued to play chess and placed the chess piece where he wanted to place it just now.
And just as Qin Fang and the others continued to play chess, the gangsters outside automatically opened up a path. They saw a rather formidable looking young man walk in.
He glanced inside the Roasted Goose Restaurant and didn't seem to find the target. The main reason was that there were too many customers in the restaurant. Now that there was such a commotion, it wasn't easy to find the target.
"All unrelated people, leave …"
This young man only said one simple sentence. His voice wasn't loud, but it was sonorous and powerful, resolute and decisive … The gangsters beside him also automatically opened up a path for him.
Those customers all immediately walked out of this path as if they had been pardoned. They didn't even dare to delay paying the bill and hurriedly left.
It was just that the owner of the Roasted Goose Restaurant had a hard time. He didn't even receive the bill and all the customers left. It was a huge loss …
But to let him express his dissatisfaction with these gangsters?
Obviously, he didn't have the guts to do so!
Looking at these gangsters' posture, he didn't need to guess to know that they were from Xin 'an. Those small gangs didn't have the guts to do so.
Xin 'an was the largest gang in Hong Kong. It was said that they had tens of thousands of people. He was just the owner of a small Roasted Goose Restaurant. How could he dare to offend these guys? He could only shrink his neck and keep quiet.
Not long after, most of the customers in the restaurant left. Basically, except for the owner and the staff, only Qin Fang and Old Master Song were still sitting there.
They were still playing chess, as if they didn't know what was happening around them.
At this time, there was no one else around. Qin Fang, an old man and a young man, were particularly conspicuous. It was hard not to notice them. The restaurant owner originally wanted to walk over and remind the two customers to leave.
But before he could move, he saw the strong man walk over. Looking at the way he walked and the strong aura released from his body, the restaurant owner couldn't help but feel his legs go soft.
This person was not just anyone. It was Wang Hu, who was sent by Master Long to deal with Qin Fang.
Xin 'an was the largest gang in Hong Kong. It had many underlings. It was too easy for them to investigate Qin Fang's whereabouts. Therefore, Wang Hu chased him to this restaurant.
"You are Qin Fang?"
Wang Hu walked up to Qin Fang and looked at the old man and the young man who were still playing chess. Finally, his eyes fixed on Qin Fang and his tone was very firm.
Although he used a question, in fact, he had already confirmed Qin Fang's identity.
"Yes …"
Although he didn't want to pay attention to this person, his strength was quite good. He was at the master level, and his murderous aura was restrained. He was much stronger than Zach. His combat strength was almost comparable to a mid-stage master like Tang Nan.
But now, he was at a critical moment in his chess battle with Elder Song. He couldn't afford to be distracted. Therefore, in response to Wang Hu's question, he just snorted softly. He didn't even move his head or look at Wang Hu.
"Huh?"
Who was Wang Hu? He was one of the four King Kongs under Master Long. He was a powerful figure in Xin 'an, the largest gang in Hong Kong. He had always been a person who ran amok. He had never been ignored like this.
In the face of Qin Fang's rudeness, although he knew that Qin Fang also had a good cultivation, such an attitude still made him furious.
"You are courting death …"
Anyway, Wang Hu didn't come this time to treat him politely. He came to catch him.
If Qin Fang could be honest, then he wouldn't bother to spend so much effort. But now, Qin Fang was very unappreciative, so he didn't have to be polite.
Wang Hu flew into a rage. His sturdy palm immediately turned into a tiger claw and directly grabbed at the hand of Qin Fang who was holding the chessboard …
Wang Hu was known as the White Tiger. The tiger's claw on his hand was quite powerful. If he grabbed it and squeezed it gently, it would be a light punishment. Bones and tendons would be broken, and it might even be completely crushed …
However, Qin Fang didn't seem to feel the danger at all. At this time, he frowned and was thinking about how to solve the chess game in front of him. Why would he care about Wang Hu's sudden attack?
Of course, as a powerful martial artist, when Wang Hu's tiger claw approached, he also immediately felt the boundless danger. Almost instinctively, he wanted to dodge or fight back.
But at this time, sitting opposite Qin Fang, the seemingly weak Elder Song suddenly shook his arm slightly. A black shadow suddenly flew up and went straight to the fierce tiger claw.
Puff ~ ~
Elder Song Qianqiu didn't know how to move, but he saw a black shadow fly out quickly and hit the back of Wang Hu's hand. The tiger claw was very powerful, but under this collision, the tiger claw was almost completely unable to resist and directly hit the back of Wang Hu's hand. Wang Hu's face also changed drastically in an instant.
This time, the attack didn't succeed. Wang Hu also immediately retreated. Only then did he notice the hidden weapon that fell on the ground. It was …
A chess piece?
Seeing this hidden weapon, Wang Hu's face couldn't help but change.
Qin Fang and Elder Song were playing chess. Wang Hu's eyes were fine, so naturally, he could see. But to use a chess piece as a hidden weapon and be able to cause harm to him, such an expert was definitely not an ordinary person. Even he, one of the Four Great Vajras under Master Long, couldn't help but change his face.
