Zhao Defang's road to the virtuous king

Concubine Di looked at Defang, "Emperor Taizu knows that the old man's chess skills are extraordinary."

"Yes, Taizu didn't feel right after losing two games in a row. At this time, he knew that he underestimated the enemy, and the old man's formation was very strange. He had never seen it before. In desperation, he could only smile awkwardly, and calm down. This is the third game."

"The concubine conjectures..."

"Madam guess what?"

"Emperor Taizu must have been very cautious in the third round, but if the brave Taizu suddenly behaved like this, he might have fallen into a passive position, and he would have lost even faster in the third round, right?"

"Hahaha, ma'am, it's really amazing. Taizu still lost this game of chess here." Defang said with a smile, "Taizu was angry and anxious, thinking that he had never been defeated before. Is he really going to lose three times in a row today?" Unable to complete the game? So he took a few deep breaths to calm himself down. As soon as the third game started, Taizu was very careful, slowing down every step, and cautious with each move, but he fell into a predicament after a while. At this time, the old man only held one Zishou Wuyuzi said: "Young master, old man, I will drop one more piece, and the game will be decided. Hearing this, Taizu looked at the chessboard carefully again. You can retreat, you have to abandon your son and admit defeat."

"Taizu lost three rounds in a row, should he be very angry?"

"I was really angry when I lost the second game, but after losing the third game, Taizu immediately stood up and bowed his hands and said: Daoist Master is a master of chess, if there is any disrespect before the game, please apologize to Daoist Master here, Also invite Daoist Haihan. As he was about to kneel down, the old man stood up and supported Taizu's arm and said: "How dare the old man kneel like a son, let alone ask for crimes." After Taizu thanked him, he asked: Dare to ask the surname of Chang Gao Big name? I have benefited a lot from playing three games today. The old man replied: My surname is Chen. Looking at the old man, the old man said with a smile: Young master, why do you look at me like this? Taizu asked: Chen Tuan... Could it be that the Taoist priest is the famous Fuyaozi?"

"My lord, what fuyaozi?"

"Madam, I think Xian'er knows this person best."

"Why?"

"Xian'er is very fond of Taoist affairs, and this Chen Tuan is a very famous Taoist hermit. Chen Tuan's name is Tunan, and his name is Fuyaozi. He is from Qiaojun. It is said that he has few talents and economics. Research, high theory shocks vulgarity, eats little food and thinks little. However, when the Jinshi was not ranked first, Gege was everywhere, so he disappeared, and he practiced Qi and wrote "Zhixuan Pian". Chen Tuan not only understands alchemy, but also He also took the essence of Buddhism and Confucianism and combined it with Taoism, and was called "Chen Tuan Patriarch" by the world. It is heard that he sometimes sleeps for three to five years, so some people call him "Sleeping Immortal". He first hid in the nine rooms of Wudang Mountain. It is said that he was born in the 12th year of Xiantong in the Tang Dynasty, so he was at least nearly [-] years old when he met Taizu."

"It sounds like this, Chen Tuan looks like a fairy family." Concubine Di said, "I remember that in the ninth year of Taiping Xingguo, that is, the second month after you were named the Eight Sage King, Chen Tuan once went to Beijing to face the saint. , Your Majesty also bestowed the title Mr. Xiyi on him."

"Ma'am is right, but last month, 22**** passed away, so Chen Tuan is actually 110 years old."
