Chapter 17: Salute, Chess

A cold glint appeared in Ah Dao's eyes, and his body subconsciously flashed away, and at the same time he glared at Luo Zi'an with a vigilant expression.

There was an eerie silence in the room, and except for Xiangyu, the eyes of the rest of the people were on Ah Dao.

Luo Zi'an grabbed the air with his hand, looked at Ah Dao, who was tense all over his body, his face was stunned, and he said after a while: "My brain is not turning fast, but my body is quite smart." ”

After speaking, a faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

Ah Tao was afraid that she was dazzled, and she saw from Luo Zi'an's smile that he agreed with herself.

Luo Zi'an walked to the couch and sat down, and glanced at Ah Dao, who had already stood up on his own, out of the corner of his eye: "In the end, it is a lowly wild ghost born in the land of pickles, and he hasn't even learned all the etiquette, thinking that if he changes his red skin, the pheasant will become a phoenix, do you know what big mistake you made just now?"

Finally got to the point.

Ah Tao breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and hurriedly replied: "The slave is stupid, I really don't know, and I ask the second son of Luo to show it." ”

Luo Zi'an shouted in the direction of the door: "Yin Heng!"

A purple figure instantly moved in from outside the door and stopped in front of Ah Dao, it was Yin Heng, the purple-clothed ghost master who had briefly appeared in the ghost courtyard that day.

Yin Heng bowed to the ground in the direction of Xiangyu, and then bowed to the three sons of the Luo family in turn, and smiled faintly at Ah Tao at the end.

Ah Tao hesitated to kneel down and bow to Yin Heng, but Luo Zi'an on the side suddenly asked, "Why did Yin Heng bow to us and others?"

Ah Tao was stunned, and he paused, but he still didn't know.

"The reason for the flat salute is because he is a noble son of the clan like us, and even more so, because he is a son of the son. Luo Zi'an replied.

Ah Tao was a little surprised, but he didn't expect that Yin Heng, who was a ghost deterrent, was also a noble son.

"He only bowed to the jade prince, do you know why?" Luo Zi'an asked again.

Ah Tao thought for a moment and replied: "Gongzi is supreme and noble, and he deserves the most generous gift. ”

Luo Zi'an gave Ah Tao a look that you are not hopelessly stupid, and then asked, "Then you just came in, why did you also bow to me?"

Ah Tao was stunned, and suddenly realized in a trance that he had made a big mistake!

In this Yin'an, the only one who can receive his own bow is Xiangyu.

He is no longer an ordinary wild ghost, his master is the first noble son of Yin'an, and the supreme and noble person who is even more noble than the Son of Heaven.

He just came in, but what he did to Luozi was to bow down, which was really insulting to his master Xiangyu.

Ah Tao understood the origin, and immediately showed a look of remorse, she turned to the direction where Xiangyu was, and bowed to the ground: "Childe, the slave is vulgar and ignorant, and has made a big mistake, please punish Childe!"

Xiangyu, who had been quietly admiring the swaying green bamboo outside the window, didn't seem to hear the movement in the house, his body was immovable, still looking at a swaying bamboo tip.

After a while, he finally withdrew his gaze, but did not turn back, his eyes moved to the chess game on the table, which had been decided to be a success or failure, and said lightly: "Who can say the chess intent contained in this incense?"

Everyone else in the room was silent, and Yin Heng quietly retreated at some point.

Luojun Xuan said loudly: "There is no regret in the fall, only fast and not broken in the world, the fastest person who plays chess is from the time he falls the first son, he has insight into the overall situation." ”

The sound of the bamboo wind outside the window gradually prevailed, and everyone in the room also fell into meditation for a while......

Ah Tao was thinking about the deeper meaning of chess, when she suddenly heard the sound of clothes and fabrics rubbing against her and quickly approached, accompanied by a sound of slow and leisurely footsteps, a white jade-colored figure was already standing in front of her.

Ah Tao smelled the familiar aroma of light tea.

"Look up. A sound like jade striking elixir came from above his head.

Ah Dao's heart suddenly jumped inexplicably, and the whole person suddenly became nervous.

She slowly raised her head, and suddenly crashed into Xiangyu's inky eyes.

Those eyes are very beautiful, clear and bright, but there seems to be a thin layer of smoke and mist in them, and there seems to be hidden in the deep and mysterious depths......

Lonely.

This was the first time Ah Tao had seen Xiangyu so closely, and she could even see clearly the dark eyelashes on those eyes, long and curly, born on such a delicate face, just right.

There are such good-looking people in the world.

"Look stupid, right? It turned out to be a female pervert, shameless!" A sarcastic cold voice came from his ear, and Luo Zi'an stretched out his palm to block between Ah Tao and Xiangyu, isolating Ah Dao's gaze from Xiangyu's face.

Ah Tao was seen to be on her mind, and her face was suddenly a little embarrassed, and she quickly turned her gaze away.

Luo Zi'an stared coldly at Ah Dao's reaction, becoming more and more displeased, he stretched out his hand, and was about to pull Ah Dao's collar again, but was lightly glanced at by Xiangyu, and suddenly stopped in fright.

Luo Zi'an's expression was a little frightened, and his voice was slightly tight: "The subordinates have exceeded the rules, and the son is angry......"

"Stand down!" Xiangyu couldn't hear any specific emotions in his tone.

"Yes!" Luo Zi'an quickly got up and stepped to the side, no longer seeing the previous recklessness, but when he looked at Ah Tao again, there was a little more unclear thought in his eyes.

Xiangyu looked at Ah Tao again and said slowly: "Tell me, what is the chess intent contained in this incense?"

A strong and oppressive extravagance came straight to her, Ah Dao's body tightened, but she did not flinch, she calmly said another layer of interpretation of chess intent in her heart.

"The slave was born in the countryside, he knows that he is vulgar, and he can't say the ancient Zen principles as profound as the eldest prince of Luo. ”

In fact, what Luo Junxuan said was not much different from what Ah Tao realized, but she couldn't say it, she knew her own identity.

Ah Tao continued: "But the slave is the sacrifice of the son, naturally it cannot be completely impermeable, with the contempt of the slave, if the chess game is compared to life, the incense is the end of life, and the death of a person is like incense." The slave doesn't know what the chess-like life of other people's ghosts is, but the slave knows himself. ”

Ah Tao raised his head to meet Xiangyu's deep gaze, and said firmly and sincerely: "For the slave, in the slave's chess game, the beginning and end of the slave's life are given by the son, and the end of the slave's life is when the embers of incense are extinguished, which is the meaning of the child's life given to the slave." ”

The people in the room, except for Xiangyu, all showed surprised expressions.

Luojun Xuan's eyebrows were slightly raised, and his eyes suddenly became a little sharper, staring at Ah Tao with a deep sense of insight.

Ah Tao continued: "The end point of the slave is to be sent to the altar, the chess game has been decided, the slave only needs to be a good chess piece, the son starts and falls, how to move every move, is decided by the chess player, the son!"

This is the chess intention of a stick of incense for the slave. She said sincerely, word by word.

Ah Tao is using this chess trick to show her determination and loyalty as a sacrifice to her master.

There is no flattery, no deliberate belittling of oneself, knowing what one is in, realizing what one wants, and then calmly accepting it.

This kind of open-minded state of mind is quite similar to the style and bones of the famous people who are attached to the mountains and rivers, not to mention ghosts, even among human beings, it is extremely difficult to find people who have realized such artistic conceptions.

After all, in the mortal world, who does not die.

Everyone looked at Ah Tao with shocked faces at this time.

Luo Junxuan's eyes showed an extremely obvious look of appreciation.

Even Luo Zi'an, under the deliberate difficulty of Ah Dao, the recognition in his eyes unconsciously increased from three points to seven points.

Compared with his two brothers, Luo Yuanzhi was much calmer, after all, he had seen the special features of this ghost before.

It's just that Xiangyu is the only one......
