Chapter 90: The Zen Chess Game
Ji Feng, who is in charge of the elder sect, is dressed in beige white, while the disciples in the peak are dressed in green clothes.
Compared with the grandeur of Lingfeng, Xuan'er prefers the tranquility and tranquility of Jifeng, which makes people's minds calm, and this place is more suitable for meditation and cultivation.
The people who came and went on the peak all saluted respectfully to Elder Ji, and they even took the opportunity to see how this beginner disciple who had been vigorously defended by the Sect Master Heavenly Master, and even took the opportunity to see how this person, the focus of everyone's discussions, looked like.
Xuan'er looked indifferent, ignored the comments of others, and followed Elder Ji to Tingyuzhai.
The house is spotless, the windows are bright and clean, and the four walls are only decorated with calligraphy and paintings, and there is nothing impetuous about it. On the table, the scrolls are stacked, and wisps of smoke and willows float out of the hollow of the smoker.
"Sit. ”
Xuan Er retracted his gaze, walked to the pit platform, and sat opposite each other.
"Where are you from?" As he spoke, Elder Ji slowly took the pot and poured a cup of tea for Xuan Er, which was fragrant and fragrant.
Xuan Er bowed, and under the gesture of Elder Ji Da with his palm, he held the cup in one hand, and gently held the bottom of the cup with one fingertip, tasting the fragrance of tea, which was full of aroma, and it was even more fragrant and delicious and refreshing in the throat.
"Mellow and sweet, bitter but not astringent, back to sweet and shengjin, this tea is very wonderful. Xuan Er couldn't help but take another sip, the tiredness slowly dissipated, and said bluntly with a comfortable smile: "Forgive the disciple for being blunt, I don't know what happened to Elder Ji looking for me when he went out this time?"
Elder Ji drank seven points for her, his eyes were indifferent and a little warm, and he said leisurely: "A pot of tea, one person, tasting tea is like tasting people, it is enough." ”
"Little girl, do you know how to sit in seclusion?"
Elder Ji pressed the circle in the pit table, the tea tray was firmly opened, the black and white game plate rose, and the tea tray fell.
"A little bit of it. "Forty thousand years ago, when the master had nothing to do, he would play against himself, but he always disliked it.
Therefore, Xuan Er's impression of sitting in the hidden place is only to lose, and not to win once.
After he picked up the chess pieces and fell to the corner, Xuan Er picked up the white chess pieces lightly and landed in the corner.
Since then, black and white have occupied one corner, and the surface is peaceful, but in fact, the dark tide is turbulent.
The two of them went down seriously, no one knew that Qi Mo and Zhu Kefu had come with the doorman, and the doorman wanted to pass it on, but Qi Mo raised his hand and waved his hand and withdrew silently.
At the end of the game, Xuan Er was defeated, but he smiled and did not disagree.
Elder Ji twisted his beard and looked at her carefully, and his eyes skimmed to the two who came.
Xuan'er raised her head, and smiled after being surprised, "Master, Kefu." Then he got up and stepped aside.
"She's having fun, are you at ease?" Qi Mo sat down slowly and glanced at Zhu Kefu.
Zhu Kefu came back to her senses in a daze and smiled awkwardly.
Qi Mo picked up the last white flag and slowly put it down, and the chess game turned around in an instant, and then he saw what to look at Xuan'er.
Xuan Er was slightly stunned, quite weak-hearted.
Elder Ji twisted his beard, picked up the black chess, carefully studied the overall chess game, slowly put the black chess pieces back into the clay pot, and said with a smile: "Sect Master Heavenly Master can find a good disciple, congratulations." ”
"Bad kids. Qi Mo Wen met Elder Ji's gaze.
Elder Ji said indifferently: "In this case, how about letting her cultivate with the old man?"
Xuan Er thought that he would flatly refuse, but it can be seen that he groaned and chuckled in his heart.
Zhu Kefu also frowned slightly, and his face was burnt.
After pondering for a while, Qi Mo shook his head and said, "She is not the best candidate for Elder Ji. ”
"Why?" Elder Ji's eyes narrowed, obviously unwilling to give up.
Qi Mo looked at the chess game, "Cautious, able to see the overall situation, talented, but-"
"But how?" Elder Ji's eyebrows sank slightly, and his voice was a little deep.
But she is not a pawn in this game. As he spoke, he picked up a white chess piece and handed it to Zhu Kefu.
Zhu Kefu was stunned, took it easily, and was full of questions, "Master?"
After a game, Xuan Er roughly understood the meaning, but there were some doubts in his heart.
Zhu Kefu sat opposite Elder Ji at the signal of Qi Mo, but his brows were furrowed.
Elder Ji was suspicious for a moment, looked at Qi Mo, and Qi Mo said leisurely: "This Heavenly Master's vision has always been very good. ”
"That's nature. Elder Ji's eyebrows were relaxed, and he turned to look at Zhu Kefu, and said indifferently: "Please." ”
Zhu Kefu understood what they meant, and when he saw the master nodding, he started to pick up chess.
The two of them played chess, and there was nothing to do with others, Xuan Er followed Qi Mo out to listen to Yu Zhai, along the way, he didn't say anything, Xuan Er couldn't help but have a question in his heart, just about to ask, Qi Mo stopped, and handed a blue bead to Xuan Er.
Xuan Er took it, the beads seemed to have a faint light, but they disappeared in the blink of an eye, and they couldn't help but look at the beads a few more times, the blue beads contained aura, but I didn't understand the meaning of his gift of beads, so I was surprised.
"Every beginner disciple will be given something as a teacher, and you don't need to be surprised. ”
"Master Xie. Xuan Er hung the blue spirit bead around his neck, Qi Mo glanced at it deeply, and suddenly said, "What is the last move?"
Xuan Er said truthfully: "Although the disciple didn't know Elder Ji's intentions, it can be seen that he was malicious, first with tea and then sitting to hide me, he had a little idea in his heart, but he didn't dare to confirm it categorically, but he always wanted to avoid suspicion and trouble, so he deviated. ”
"And what do you think now?" said Qi Mo with a deep smile.
"The disciple is stupid and can't think of it, besides, the master doesn't already know the chess game. "Ear to ear.
"How?"
Xuan Er met Qi Mo's gaze, and instead of answering directly, he asked, "Master, how many sides are there in this chess game?" ”
"Quartet. After that, Qi Mo turned around and walked away, but a word came from before he went: "Kefu is only short, why do you need to worry, but you make her worry a lot, some roads are destined to go, why should you worry too much, the world is deep and shallow, ups and downs, everything has a fixed number, and it is well understood." ”
Xuan Er listened to the words that echoed in the air, and couldn't come back to her senses for a long time, and the words seemed to be talking about Kefu, and they seemed to be talking about her.
Looking at the thick fog lingering in the distance, Xuan Er shook his head.
"Sister, are you Sister Xuan'er?"
Suddenly, a crisp and immature voice came from behind her, Xuan Er turned around, her eyes fell, and then she squatted down and looked at the girl who was not up to her waist, the girl's face was slightly pale, skinny, and weak.
Although it was autumn, the weather was just right, and it was not cold, but she was wrapped in a cloak and put on a hood.
Xuan Er involuntarily held her hand, a coldness.
"Are you Sister Xuan'er?" Seeing that she didn't answer, the girl called again, and Xuan'er came back to her senses and looked at the girl and nodded.
"I am, may I ask who you are?" Xuan'er shuddered when she saw her, and brushed her cloak for her.
"Great! The girl's eyes flashed with excitement, and she took her hand, smiled softly, and her words were full of joy.
Not long ago, Jing Kefu talked about Elder Wei and mentioned Wei Yuan, and I wanted to go to the Vermilion Bird Sect to find Wei Yuan, but Elder Ji suddenly came, and I had to delay the matter, and now suddenly a weak little girl came, Xuan Er couldn't bear to brush her excitement, but she hadn't told her name yet.
Xuan'er let her cold little hand hold her, skillfully shuttling through the corridor, and suddenly there were exclamations and anxious calls in the distance on the left.
A mother-in-law, who was about 50 years old, walked with an anxious face and a panicked expression, and when the little girl saw her, she hurriedly hid behind her, her cold little hands trembled slightly, and she was very panicked.
