Chapter 34: The Mystery Begins to Emerge
"I don't know, I don't know what to do? For the first time, against his father's wishes, he didn't want to gather to the base of his tongue, and swallowed again...... "The elder brother lay on the tile, his hands crossed and his head rested, staring intently at the night sky. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
"Poor brother! I always don't get what I want, and I do what I don't want to do. But why shouldn't I? I longed for my father to place me as an apprentice in Ai's shop from an early age; longing for the days when you don't have to read books and break books; the desire to meet all sorts of people and sell what they need; longing to sit on the threshold and enjoy the warm sunshine, holding your cheeks, watching passers-by; I want to be like my brother, fly with Edgeworth, hoe the strong and help the weak......"
"I'd give you everything if I could!"
……
The bleak time is always far away and long. A nightingale flew by, as if the heart had been frozen for thousands of years......
It wasn't until a shout from my father that all these barriers were finally eliminated.
Under the prosperous exterior of the Ai family, the huge power buried in the ruins of an ancient ruin that has fallen into disrepair is gradually revealed......
"Yang'er, Cheng'er, come with me!"
"Yes, father."
My brother and I, following in my father's footsteps. After bypassing six or seven corridors, three or four annexes finally stopped. Resting in the courtyard where my father's and mother's bedrooms were.
I saw my father walk forward alone, and after climbing the pavilion in the southeast corner of the courtyard, he stared at the stone table in the pavilion for a while.
"Come up." Father suddenly shouted.
Come up, where do you come up? Do you stand on that gazebo? I didn't understand what my father meant, so I just looked at my brother and nodded and motioned for me to hurry up to the gazebo.
The father slowly sat down on the stone bench next to the stone table. On each side of the stone table, there were two stone benches, one east and one west, facing each other, and my father was sitting on this stone bench on the east side.
The carvings of the two stone benches are ups and downs, although they are not gods, but they are placed on the stool and this contemptible, and they are wrong to be ordinary. On the contrary, the stone table in the middle has a stone carved Go game on the table, and the chess pieces have a strange layout; Two stone carved chess bowls, the sunspots in the bowls reflect the moonlight that is obliquely shining down, emitting bright points of light, like spars. Under this light, Baizi is like a bowl of sparkling clear spring, dazzling.
"Cheng'er, Yang'er, which of you will accompany me to play a game?" My father sat precariously as if this chessboard could really be played.
"I don't play, I only moved a piece when I was five years old, and I never moved it again. And this chessboard is seen from time to time and sometimes from time to time, so strange. Obviously, the chess pieces and the chessboard are a whole, and the chessboard and the stone table are a whole. What about the chess pieces that I moved when I was a child, and another time the stone table was empty, and the chessboard and chess bowl on the table were gone. It must be my father who is teasing me, and I won't go down with you. "The more I talked, the more pitiful I became, as if I had been greatly wronged.
"Hahahaha! The only person in the world who can discover this secret is you. You little clever ghost, you used to come to this yard to pretend to sit on the stone table and play when you wanted to escape. As everyone knows, I have already seen your careful thoughts through the window paper. It's no wonder you can put the change in this gazebo to the point. You! You! Shall I praise my son for his cleverness, or shall I reprimand you for your stupidity? Haha......"
My father said to himself, probably thinking of that naughty me, and he couldn't help but laugh.
was told by my father that I was so angry, scratched my head, and laughed shyly: "Hehe! ”
"Come to Yang'er, let me see how your chess skills have grown."
"Yes, father."
My brother and father played against each other while I stood and watched.
In just three moves, my father's black chess piece captured my brother's three white pieces. The chess pieces on this table, like ordinary chess pieces, can be moved at will, and the same is true in the chess bowl.
"Huh? It's a 'sad yin chess game', is there really such a coincidence? "Another thirteenth son, my brother thought about it for a long time at the last step. I finally found out that what was placed on this chessboard was the "Sad Yin Chess Game" that I had already memorized.
With sadness, joy, harmony, and separation, the corresponding yin, sunshine, circle, and deficiency have achieved the four major chess games of sadness, joy, harmony, and separation. It is also the four chess games that my father has memorized by me since I first came into contact with Go.
"Cheng'er, you look up. Tell me what you see? ”
My father suddenly asked me to look up, and I did so for some reason. At the top of the hollow gazebo, a round bead shines in the shade of the day.
"A bead, a bead as bright as the moon." I answered my father's questions succinctly and clearly.
I saw that the moment my father heard my words, my eyes didn't have time to move down, only the light swiped. He casually picked up a black piece from the chess bowl on the right hand and landed straight in the middle of the whole chess game.
"Didn't my father wait for my brother to have two sons in a row?"
This sudden hand didn't even give me a chance to think, and next to a pond of water under the stone steps on the south side of the pavilion, the sound of a waterfall falling into the abyss suddenly sounded.
In those ten years, a pool of lotus water was inexplicably seeping into the ground. Immediately afterwards, the entire pavilion swayed with the seepage of the pool water.
My father faced everything calmly, as if he was not surprised by what had happened.
The water of the pond dries up, and two smooth stone slabs emerge from the bottom of the pool, and the stone slabs open wider and larger from the initial palm-wide gap, gradually becoming a pavilion-sized hole in the ground. The two stone slabs were also retracted into the walls of the pool.
And the pavilion that kept shaking did not stop because the hole at the bottom of the pool was opened.
A large pavilion, a heavy object carved out of a single piece of stone, was moving towards the entrance of the cave with visible speed in the pupils.
In addition to his father, it seems that only his brother can face everything in front of him smoothly. Because I was so frightened that I squatted down and clutched the stone table with both hands.
As the pavilion sank at his feet, the roof of the pavilion also sank into the ground. Another identical gazebo slowly rises from the ground in its original location, taking its place and becoming the unchanging decoration of the courtyard. It's just that the new pavilion has the same stone table and two stone benches, but the table is empty.
If I had been around, I would have been surprised to find that this pavilion was the one I had seen before without a chessboard or a chessbowl. It's the pavilion that has changed, not the chessboard, as I think, has changed......
The stone pavilion slowly sank, and a dungeon from dark to light, from narrow to wide, gradually appeared in front of me.
The mystery of Jiuding, which has been sealed for a hundred years, is about to tear off the old disguise, and the nine prosperous palaces will surely gilt for the new king.
The blood oath of the ancestors of the Ai family, the inevitable fetters of fate for the ninth generation, and the bright ......
