"Konishi, before I answer you, I want to ask you something." He finally spoke, and he had already given up his evasion, perhaps since the golden lotus was finally about to open, he had already understood that everything was also over.

Wen Xi said: "You ask. ”

Ming changed his posture, as if he was sorting out his mood, "You came this time, did you understand why you came?" ”

Wen Xi lowered his head slightly, "Monk, in the past, you played against my master, and after the battle on the chessboard, the abandoned pieces were piled up in a box, and you could tell the winner, but those chess pieces that had already ended the game had no chance." ”

Ming said lightly: "I understand, but you can't change it." "Throughout the ages, how many people have not been a pawn in the world?

Wen Xi said: "The fate of life, the person who plays chess is anyone, and it can be anyone who becomes an outcast on the chessboard, whether it is my master, or Prince Wei, or you, or me, anyone in the world, monk, I can't change it, if I live or wait for death, can I only be bound and defeated?" ”

Li Ming smiled lightly, and he said, "What can you do?" ”

This is just a question, but it reveals infinite sadness, Ming's tone is very flat, he asked such a desperate question with a little smile, what can you do?

The tea bowl in his hand had already cooled, and the sunset on the horizon had finally exhausted its last afterglow, and a lone lamp was lit, which could not illuminate the meditation room, only the two faces of him and Wen Xi.

"So I came to you, at first, I thought you could save my master, and maybe you could also untie the knot between Eastern Wei and Jinhua, which is getting tighter and tighter." Wincy now knew that he wasn't the one who rescued him.

But she knew very well that between Xu Changling and Luo Cheng, there would be a day when blood would flow in the killing field, and no one in this game would be the winner.

Li Ming picked up the pu fan and began to shake it gently, "You look down on the monk." ”

"Nope." Wen Xi's tone was suddenly solemn, and she said again: "The monk's ability, I'm afraid that non-Wen Xi can imagine, the world is vast, you can go anywhere, why do you want to come here?" There are thousands of people in the world, why do you want to make friends with my master? ”

Ming's breath was light and shallow, he didn't have the shocking state he had shown before, he was just a little pensive.

The light was too close, disturbed by his breath, and kept shaking.

"Konishi, you remind me of a person, a woman." Ming said softly.

Wincy was stunned and looked at him.

Liming chuckled, his expression became warm, and the candle flame reflected his eyes, which thought there was also brilliance.

"You will never know why there is such a woman in the world, it is not a character that can be depicted in a mouth, maybe it can only exist in a dream, a beautiful nightmare." Ming said, with a somewhat wry smile.

Beautiful nightmares......

This is a radical contradiction.

"Her beauty is far from imaginable unless you see it with your own eyes, she is fickle and unpredictable. When she opens her mouth, she is a lie, and with one look, she can arouse a conspiracy. ”

Wen Xi looked at Ming, sometimes frowning, sometimes smiling, he became like an ordinary man with a firework atmosphere, rather than a Buddhist monk in the cold mountains.

"Such a woman is always unstoppable." He finally laughed.

"I don't resemble the woman you call me." Wen Xidao, she is not smart, not beautiful, has no ability to play with people's hearts, and has never had the ambition to weave a conspiracy.

Liming shook his head, he said: "It's because of your eyes, do you want to know it, your eyes are very similar to hers, even among thousands of lies, I can see a touch of sincerity in them, in the face of such eyes, I can't refuse, and I can't deceive." ”

Eye......

Vincy never knew.

Liao Ming sighed, "I came from Jinhua, and I have shaved the worldly career of the past ten years, I have regarded it as the past, and it is difficult to recall, if you ask, I will not be able to answer." ”

"And after that?" Wency asked.

"After that...... Afterwards...... I always remember that when the golden lotus in the soup pool was opened, the back of the woman by the pool, for three days, she always came early in the morning and went at sunset, staring at the lotus flowers in the pool, and looking forward to the pond water, she thought that she knew her own beauty, and was good at using such beauty. On the third day, the prince Xu Changling came to the Buddhist temple to find an ancient scripture book, and the idle people had already avoided it, only her, wandering by the pool, which made people's hearts flutter and happy......"

Ming said, with some emotion and some sadness.

Wen Xi held his breath and finally suddenly realized, "It's you, help her meet my master!" ”

Liao Ming smiled a little faintly and sighed, "I said, I can't refuse her." ”

Wency couldn't help but ask, "Who is she?" ”

Li Ming shook his head and said: "I still can't tell whether it's a dream or a reality, who she is, it doesn't matter, people are always drawn by the obsession in their hearts, she is my obsession, but also Xu Changling's obsession, or the obsession of every person who is lost and depressed because of her expectations, I can't escape, presumably he is also sinking in it." ”

Wen Xi suddenly remembered the slightly distracted gaze when the master looked at her, the person in his heart...... I see......

Wen Xi felt sad, the kind of helpless sadness when facing the master.

But soon, she still cleaned up her mood, she didn't have much time to grieve, "Monk, have you been to Qin'an?" Wency asked suddenly.

Ming was stunned for a moment, and under the shadow of the lamp, his face was a little dark.

"When the monk came east, he still passed by Qin'an."

"Passing by......" Wen Xi shook his head, "You are not passing by, Qin'an Qiongshan Meridian Bridge, someone told me about this place, before I came to Muchuan, Fourth Brother Lin sent me this-" Wen Xi took out the letter sent by Lin Baiyan from his arms, in addition to his book and paper, there was another piece of paper in the envelope, which was not big, but it was a small rubbing, which was the word "Yan".

Fourth Brother Lin inquired, the meridian bridge is not a real place name, but with the change of the seasons of the place, there are several rivers in Qiongshan, countless bridges on the river, all kinds of large and small stone beasts on the bridge, spring, summer, autumn and winter, the seasons are different, the shadow of the stone beast at the bridge where the sun shines at the time of the meridian is also different on the bridge, I don't know who is ingenious in the mind, began to time with this, every year when the season is different, according to the shadow of the bridge at noon, call different bridges as the meridian bridge, And in an inconspicuous place on the stone railing of the Meridian Bridge at the time of the summer solstice, such a word is engraved. Although I don't know how to learn, it's just the monk's handwriting, and I still recognize it. ”

Wen Xi looked around the meditation room, and there were Ming paintings and calligraphy hanging everywhere.
