Chapter Forty-Nine: The Clothed Grave
"This way. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info "Aunt Yang led everyone to avoid the tourists who took pictures everywhere, walked from a path all the way in, I don't know how long I walked, and finally saw a thatched house under a cliff from a distance, and a small courtyard was rudimentary with wooden planks around it, and the tables and chairs in the courtyard were decayed, and even crawled with moss and creeping plants, but it was a novelty.
An old man with a very stiff body, with his back to the crowd, was alone on the table, and he heard him say without turning his head: "I smelled the smell of the abyss from afar, and you brought that kid here?"
Aunt Yang's fourth sister and brother didn't dare to slack off, so they immediately made a big salute, greeted the master, and then talked about the cause and effect.
"The four of you have really worked hard over the years, and all of you are no longer young......," the old man sighed, "But let's stay in the future......
The old man turned sideways with difficulty, glanced at Su Jibei and the group of young men and girls behind him, and said, "That kid surnamed Su, come here." β
Su Jibei immediately stepped forward, and was just about to salute, when he was suddenly restrained by an invisible force.
"Don't worship me, your master and I have not liked each other since we were children, he doesn't like me, I hate him, I love the house and Wu, and I don't like his disciples, you don't have to worship me. Come here. The old man said coldly.
Su Jibei walked to the table and was shocked-the left half of the old man's body had already decayed to the point of being inhuman, and the palm on the table seemed to have grown together with the moss-covered table, and the old man was still alive!
The old man motioned for him to sit down: "Do you see this game of chess in front of me? This game of chess is the game he played with me back then, he went up to another mountain in the starry night, and asked me to help him, but I refused, so he offered to play a game of chess with me, and if I couldn't win him, I would do him this favor." β
"I couldn't go on until White 79, but I refused to admit defeat. He thought he had won, so he hurried back to the imperial capital to apologize for his disciples, and was killed by Ling Chi at the noon gate, and I have been here for a long time since that day, but I still haven't thought of a way to win him......"
"I know why you and the children you brought to Beishan, everything has a price, so you solved this chess game first, and then we will talk about other things. β
Su Jibei was surprised, this old man who was not good-looking was actually in a chess game for more than 40 years, and his body had decayed in this long chess game, and the people in the game were no longer there, and he was still insisting here, as Aunt Yang said before, her master was a competitive and undying guy.
He looked at the chessboard - sure enough, it was the teacher's consistent way, the first 78 hands, the sunspot fell like a shadow, the enemy machine was the first, and all the considerations of the white son were broken, which caused the greatest psychological pressure on the opponent, so after 79 hands, no matter where the white son chooses to play, he will be shocked by the maggot-like chess path of the sunspot's tarsal bone, and fall into the suspicion of the long test of thinking about it but not daring to fall down.
And the teacher calculated that he was a competitive senior brother, no matter what, it was impossible to admit defeat, and it was impossible to continue to be led by his nose in the game, so in the end, the teacher won without winning, and the teacher lost with undefeated.
Su Jibei looked at the endgame, and said with a deep sigh: "Your white son is too fierce, he fights for success or failure everywhere, and his form and meaning are scattered, naturally he has a shape but no power, and he can't advance and retreat together......"
He directly picked up the white child, and "snapped" and fell: "Don't fight! β
The old man was stunned when he looked at the endgame, and smiled as if he understood, laughing: "The old man is not as good as you kid!"
"Master, he's not young, he should be over seventy years old according to his age, much older than our four senior sisters and brothers......" Lao Wang Huishan still didn't forget to complain.
"That's it!" The old man's depression was unexpectedly untied so easily, and with a stroke of his right hand, the chessboard and chess pieces were instantly knocked out.
Just when everyone wanted the old man to be careful about his body, they saw the old man suddenly close his eyes and chant a few words silently, and a faint light began to appear on his seal hall, and the light points slowly cracked, turning into threads, and finally turned into a huge ball of light, devouring the old man's body.
"Division... Master!" Everyone who didn't know what was going on tried to get closer while blocking the bright light, but they were instantly shocked out by a strong wave of air.
In the smoke and clouds, a pair of immature feet jumped down from the chair, only to hear a milky voice say, "That's it, boy, from today onwards, I will leave you to practice on other mountains." β
"Division...... Master!" Everyone was completely stunned by the sight before themβthe old man, who had just decayed like a mummy, had suddenly become a little baby more than two feet tall!
"This is what Master said in legend...... The art of returning to the child!" Lao Wang was the first to cry.
"What a fuss about! yelling there!" the little baby frowned in disgust, but it was very cute.
If the teenagers who watched too many super hero movies and anime on weekdays were more or less psychologically acceptable, then what is happening in front of them now is completely beyond their imagination.
"Too... Great! What is this? Is it a primordial baby?"
"Is this the kind of martial arts that Tianshan Tong Mama?"
"It's amazing! Can we learn this too? I really want to change back and make my skin better!"
The master, who had become a little baby, didn't want to pay attention to them, and jumped lightly on Su Jibei's shoulder: "You all stay here, I'll take this kid to the back." β
Aunt Yang and a few people hurriedly responded.
Su Jibei followed him all the way to the path behind the mountain and walked in, until he entered a valley, but saw flowers blooming everywhere, lush bamboo forests, and a cemetery in the middle of the valley.
"This is your master's graveyard. The baby jumped to the ground and pointed ahead.
Su Jibei walked to the tombstone step by step and knelt down with a plop.
"It's just a well-dressed mound, and he buried some of the used things he left in other mountains back then. The baby said lightly, "I was actually against him returning to the imperial capital back then, because I didn't think he had any reason to confess his guilt and surrender to the law. β
But he smiled and said that killing anyone would not solve the problem, and he would pave the way for future generations or something. The little baby continued, "Hmph, I looked down on him because of this back then, there were only the two of us left in the mountain, I was not interested in anything, I sat and ate on the mountain gate and waited for death, I slept and ate every day, who I ate, but he was there all day long talking to me about great ability and responsibility, what all living beings, what was born to save people, I ...... it."
"Because of this, we fell out that year, and had a big fight on another mountain, I continued to guard my other mountain, and he went down the mountain to Jiangcheng, founded Asuka School, accepted seven baby apprentices, and began his road to save the people from fire and water, and to help the building to fall......"
"Hehe......" The little baby suddenly snorted coldly, "He assisted Emperor Chengzu to drive away the western countries, recaptured the world, and saved the people who were slaughtered in the war......
"Is this what he wants......"
Su Jibei respectfully kowtowed three times in front of the tombstone, and then got up: "Everything started because of me, so I can only end it, so please ask my uncle to help......"
"That's why you took these kids up to Beesha?"
"Yes. I will rebuild the Strategy Bureau, use this group of children as a starting point, and build my own Strategy Bureau......"
"You still have to follow your master's old path?"
"No, what you just said is right, the teacher's path is impassable, there are too many constraints in the world, even the teacher is powerless to resist, but I have the responsibility that I must bear, so I will continue to walk, but it will be my own way. β
"You have to know that your current situation is actually more difficult than back then, Shen Huainan let the imperial court open the door of ability all over the world, which is more destructive to the empire than war, and soon you will see an empire that is about to collapse, and your enemies will be stronger than one another. β
"At least they're still humans, aren't they?" Su Jibei suddenly smiled faintly, "We and that one are going to meet in the future, right......?" If even humans can't defeat it, won't it be a joke to face that one in the future?"
The little baby suddenly looked at him with a meaningful look: "Okay. Anyway, the old man happened to be bored on this other mountain, so I'll make trouble with you. β
