Chapter 42 Righteousness
In May, under the shade of willow trees on the bank of Jingshui, an old man and a young man played against each other.
The old man was dressed in a light-colored ramie robe, and the young lake-blue silk shirt was unbuttoned, flying in the breeze.
"You're going to lose." The old man's voice was full of energy, not like a dying man.
The young man looked at the white chess piece in front of him, and a smile hung on the corner of his mouth: "I still have a son, and the victory or defeat can only be determined when my chess piece falls." ”
"There is only one chess piece, and everywhere it falls, it will die." The old man's face was filled with joy.
"You've lived for hundreds of years, and you still care so much about winning or losing, your Taoism is not enough." The boy buttoned up his shirt and a sneer tugged at the corners of his mouth.
"It is the old man's wish to win a game against you." The corner of the old man's ramie robe flew up.
"I'm really embarrassed to win you again." The ripples in the young man's eyes were deeper than the water.
"So, you're letting the old man go?" The old man looked at the chess pieces in the young man's hand and said lightly.
He looked at the overall situation, he had already won, and the young chess pieces were dead chess pieces no matter where they landed.
"The world says well, "When you go to the end of the water, sit and watch the clouds rise", the most difficult time is also the most turning point. The young man looked at the old man with a smug image that the victory or defeat had been decided, and shook his head.
"You and I have played chess for 200 years, I have never won, and I must win this time." The old man said firmly.
"And Tiandou, you know the consequences." The boy plays with the white chess pieces in his hand.
"Isn't it enough for a god to choose to kill himself and change the way of heaven with a little warmth?" The old man must have his hair flying.
"Not enough." Two words burst out between the young man's teeth, and the buttons of his lake-blue shirt unbuttoned themselves, and a touch of cyan melted into Jingshui, and Jingshui was slightly flooded.
"What do you want!" The old man was visibly angry, his eyes widening slightly, and a fine light shot out.
"It's not what I want, it's that the way of heaven cannot be changed." The white chess piece in the boy's hand glowed with crystal.
"The fact is that the Dao of Heaven has begun to change, so the cause of Wu Qi's death has already arisen, and it is not something that you and I can control." The old man's ramie clothes shattered and fell, dazzling like a meteor.
The white pieces in the boy's hand also lost their color. Slowly cracks, shatters, and turns into powder.
"You actually exchanged your cultivation for my son!" The young man gritted his teeth, apparently distressed by the destruction of the piece.
"Take what you give." The old man said weakly, leaning against the willow tree to rest. After the ramie clothes on his body were destroyed, a white undershirt was very eye-catching.
"It's all idiots." The young man glanced at the old man and said.
Even God will sacrifice for his own ideals. And it's a human being with feelings. The old man's voice was soft.
"Your two apprentices admit death because of you." The young man glanced at the old man, "This god allows you to stay in the world, whether you can see the ending you want to see depends on the creation of the world." ”
"I still won your game after all." The old man gasped.
"Is it worth it?" The boy said as he watched the old man age rapidly.
"There are always things to do." As he spoke, the old man fell asleep.
"If a god falls into such a situation, he is also convinced."
The young man raised his hands behind his back, and a green smoke was lost in the sky in an instant.
.......
"This old man is so weak." Liu Qingyun saw the old man resting on the willow tree at first sight.
"Yes, grandpa should be hungry, we still have dry food, let grandpa eat some first." Liu Jin stroked the old man's forehead and said.
"You help the old man, I'll feed him water first, Runrun." Zhou Yu looked at the old man's chapped lips and said.
Chen Long took out all the water and food carried by the four of them and handed them to Zhou Yu.
The four of them overheard Qi Ran talking about the strange thing of Jingshui backflow, so they clamored to come to Jingshui to see, Chen Guo May is the most beautiful season, Qi Ran gave them a long day off, let the four of them go to Jingshui to check.
The four of them rode fast horses along Jingshui, did not find anything special in Jingshui, and were about to return, when they saw someone sleeping under the willow tree from a distance, so they came to take a look.
Unexpectedly, an old man fainted. Without thinking, the four of them set out to rescue.
After feeding the old man water and eating dry food, he still didn't wake up, Chen Long took a pulse and found that the old man's pulse was weak, "This old man won't get better for a while, let's take him back to a doctor first." ”
"The boss often says that saving someone's life is better than building a seventh-level floating slaughter. Although this old man is not very good, we can't see death without help, so let's take him back first. Liu Qingyun agreed.
"Then what are you waiting for, bring it back quickly." Zhou Yu picked up the old man on the horse and went home.
"Zhou Yu is surprisingly enthusiastic today." Liu Jin watched Zhou Yu hug the old man on the horse without thinking, thinking that this was different from his usual style.
"You have a lot of eyes. Let's have a good kung fu foundation now. Liu Qingyun turned over and said.
"Could it be that he used the formation to protect him for fear of the old man jolting on horseback!" Liu Jin screamed.
Zhou Yu's recent practice of the formation is to forget to sleep and eat, and he will not waste this long holiday?
"It's possible." Chen Long looked at Liu Jin who was confused and said.
Zhou Yu didn't say much when he heard the conversation between the three of them, so he just beat the horse and moved forward. He had already cultivated the magic circle for a small time, and when he saw the old man, he found the inexplicable Zhou Tian, although this Zhou Tian was very weak, but he was dignified and upright.
Ordinary people who cultivate Haoran righteousness will also become Zhou Tian by themselves. Now this old man is righteous and awe-inspiring, but Zhou Tian is very weak, Zhou Yu judged that this old man is a great Confucian like Fang Zheng and Yan Ming.
Zhou Yu has always respected gentlemen, especially those who cultivate Haoran righteousness, so he put the old man on the back of the horse without thinking about it, and hurried back to his residence.
The four of them are now living in the Yijia Manor.
After the old man was placed in the quiet room, Zhou Yu went to the Jockey Club to find Qi Ran to come and see the old man, wanting to bring something suitable for the old man to eat and drink.
......
Qi Ran was very unhappy when he heard that Zhou Yu had brought someone from unknown origin into the Yi family manor.
"As I said earlier, don't bring strangers to that place, I don't have a long memory, right?"
Qi Ran was very annoyed, these four children took his advice as a deaf ear.
"The old man has the aura of Haoran, and he is a righteous gentleman." Zhou Yu protested that he didn't think he had done anything wrong.
Qi Ran was not allowed to bring strangers into the manor, he was suspicious, the old man was upright, and he was not within the scope of his fortification.
"You've got a lot of ability, right?" Qi Ran didn't expect him to carry it with him, and his heart was on fire.
"The boss is afraid for the safety of your four children. Don't take kindness as a donkey's liver and lungs. You Ran heard the two arguing from a distance and rushed over to say.
"I can still tell the difference between right and wrong." Zhou Yu protested, tears still welling up in his eyes.
He was enthusiastic and hoped to be praised by Qi Ran, but he didn't expect that as soon as he said that the person he rescued was reprimanded by Qi Ran in Yijia Manor, as if the four of them were idiots.
You Ran saw Zhou Yu crying and knew that Zhou Yu was wronged.
"Boss, let's go over and have a look first, it's a virtue for the four to be helpful."
Although You Ran also thinks that the children are sloppy, their virtue of saving the weak and helping the poor is still worthy of appreciation.
"They are helpful and should have brought people to the Jockey Club first, directly to the Yijia Manor, how dangerous it is."
Qi Ran knew that the cultivators couldn't find the Yi family brothers and sisters, and often spied on the Yi family's manor.
Four children live in it, and it is not safe. But because Zhou Yu set up a magic circle and he blessed it, if the cultivator wants to enter the manor, he will definitely attract his attention, so that he can ensure the safety of the children.
The four of them brought strangers in, and if this is a game, the other party takes advantage of the innocence of the children, and they have nowhere to investigate, and the consequences will be very serious.
"Boss, if I don't know anyone, you can punish me. Now I'm going to find Sister Xiaoyu and ask for some delicious food for grandpa. Zhou Yu cried aggrievedly and figured it out.
Qi Ran reprimanded him for the safety of the four of them, and to prevent fraud, he should indeed bring the old man to the Jockey Club first.
Of course, Zhou Yu did not forget his original intention of coming to find delicious food.
"This kid has the wisdom to understand people, he cares about the old man so much, the old man should be his respected senior, let's go and see with him." You Ran watched Zhou Yu come out of the kitchen with a pack of delicious food.
"He's here to rob? Xiaoyu is so refreshing? Qi Ran looked at Zhou Yu and said with a big bag.
"When did you start to be petty. Boss Qi. You Ran stepped forward to take the big bag and put it on his mount.
"That's it, Sister Yanran is the most picky, she doesn't bring this." Zhou Yu said with a grin.
Xiao Yu filled him with all the freshly made flower cakes, and he was in a very good mood now.
