Chapter 15: Testing (3)

After a period of dizziness, Xuan Zhuyi slowly opened his eyes.

"What is this place?" Xuan Zhuyi found himself lying in a sea of flowers. The blue flowers emitted a bewildering light, guiding Xuan Zhuyi to move forward step by step. The flower paved a road, and Xuan Zhuyi walked along the road with a blue light. There is a small pavilion not far away, and a woman in blue sits in the pavilion and pours herself a drink, and there is a game of chess on the table. Xuan Zhuyi stepped forward and arched his hand: "Girl." In this place, I guess the girl has something to explain to me, right? ”

"Sir is really smart. Can you sit down and have a few drinks with the little girl? ”

"It's better to be respectful than to obey." Xuan Zhuyi sat opposite the girl, picked up the wine glass, and drank it all.

"Sir? The little woman invited her husband to come so that he could solve my confusion. ”

"Girl, but it doesn't hurt to say."

"Sir, can you see the real identity of the little girl?"

"The real body? The girl's clothes are the same color as these flowers, so she should be the essence of the flowers, right? ”

"Haha~ Does that gentleman know what kind of flower this is?"

"I really don't know."

"It's forget-me-not. Don't forget me, lovesick tears, what you want, look at each other for a long time. ”

"What's so sad about that girl?"

"Forget-me-not means eternity. It is also known as the "love of flowers", so some people also call it an unwithered flower, also known as acacia grass. Young men and women give forget-me-nots to each other as a token of deep affection. After making forget-me-not into dried flowers, the color will not fade for a long time. I said the moral of it, and my husband may not understand it. The true meaning needs to be realized by the gentleman himself in the future journey. What the gentleman has to do now is to finish this game with me. ”

"Playing chess? But I ...... I don't know how to play chess! ”

"That's not up to you. If the gentleman wins, I can walk out from here, and if he loses, then the gentleman will accompany me for the rest of his life. ”

"Okay."

"But don't be nervous, sir. Since this chess game is determined by me, then this rule must also be determined by me. Please also enter this chess game with me. The woman waved her sleeves, and Xuan Zhuyi entered the chessboard with her.

On the chessboard, there are five chess pieces on each side. And in the chessboard, in front of the two are five living people.

"This game is a 25-grid "life and death chess", and the people standing in front of the two of us are the most important people to us along the way. Next, we need to move forward according to their ability, and if people from both sides meet during the march, they will attack each other, and the degree of attack depends on individual ability. If your own piece is out of the battle grid during the match, it will be considered a discarded piece. Whoever reaches the player's position first and subdues the player wins. During the whole process, the player cannot leave his position and can only use the pieces to win. Sir, do you understand? ”

"Understood."

"Good! Now you need both sides to report the identity of their chess pieces from left to right. On my side, my brother is not named, my husband is Luoyao, the eldest sister is not sorry, the younger sister is not forgotten, and my friend is a painter. ”

"My side is my friend. Shang Ling, Mu Zhixi, Mu Jinggong, Yu Cihe, Ouyang Ruolin. ”

"Good! Priority for guests. ”

Xuan Zhuyi thought for a while, and went out of the business spirit. The other party is out of the brother, don't be named. Xuanzhu Yi is out of Mu Zhixi's right one, and the other party is out of the little sister, don't forget to go up. Xuanzhu Yi is out of Ouyang Ruolin's left one, and the other party is out of the eldest sister on the second. Xuan Zhu Yi is on the left side of Mu Jinggong, and the other party is on the second side of the husband Jun Luoyao. Xuan Zhuyi ordered Shang Ling to go up to the right one, and the other party went out on the left one and two. The two sides enter the state of chess. A long sword appeared in front of Shang Ling, and a white-haired long whip appeared in front of him. Shang Ling struck first, quickly drew his sword, turned around to dodge, and swung his white-haired long whip at Shang Ling. Shang Ling jumped to the side to dodge the long whip, and stabbed at Beming again, who swung the whip around Shang Ling's long sword, and then flicked the whip backwards. Shang Ling clenched the long sword and landed smoothly with the long whip behind the right side of the name. Shang Ling held the sword and spun, wrapping around the nameless long whip, and the distance between the two quickly narrowed. Beming suddenly let go, sideways on Shang Ling's right side, quickly held the long whip in his hand and pulled it back, and then threw the whip around Shang Ling's neck, Shang Ling couldn't move. Just when the victory was about to be decided, Shang Ling held back Bename's back with one hand, and stabbed his heart with a long sword in the other, and continued to stab hard. Eventually, it pierced through the body and into the heart of the other name. The two then vanished.

"Humph! Fight like Kilkenny cats? That friend of yours is pretty good! It's a big deal to be able to compete with my brother. ”

"Passing the prize."

Xuan Zhuyi adjusted the chess game, making Ouyang Ruolin one on the left, and the other party's husband Jun Luoyao on the left. The two sides enter the state of chess. A long sword appeared in front of Ouyang Ruolin, and Luo Yao also had a long sword in front of him. Luo Yao took the first step and stabbed the sword behind Ouyang Ruolin, and Ouyang Ruolin dodged. Luo Yao once again took out his sword and held Ouyang Ruolin's sword. Luo Yao turned his sword violently, turned the sword to his other hand, and at the same time picked up Ouyang Ruolin's sword. Luo Yao immediately stabbed the sword in, and Ouyang Ruolin was wiped out.

Xuan Zhu Yi went out of Yu Ci Hyuk on the second, and the other party thought for a moment and decided to make Luo Yao against Yu Ci He, so Luo Yao left one and one on the other, and fought against Yu Ci He. Yu Cihyuk fights against Luo Yao, who holds the long sword, without a blade.

The woman laughed, "Your friend is really interesting. Fight against my husband empty-handed? ”

Xuan Zhuyi said embarrassedly: "Let's see what the result is." ”

Luo Yao once again struck first, and stabbed Yu Cihe with a long sword. Yu Cihe turned over and hid behind Luo Yao, shot at Luo Yao, and then took the long sword in Luo Yao's hand for his own use, and pushed Luo Yao out of line. Luo Yao immediately disappeared.

The woman was furious: "What is the origin of your friend! ”

Xuan Zhuyi arched his hand and said, "It's a girl who cultivates the Dao Method." ”

The woman said disdainfully: "Hmph! Good! Please gentleman to play chess. ”

Xuan Zhuyi is out of Mu Zhixi, and the other party is out of the eldest sister, and he does not hesitate to fight Mu Zhixi in the last pair. Each side holds a sword and stands in a cross. Mu Zhixi struck preemptively, stabbing with a sword, and did not hesitate to use a sword against him. When the two sides were at a stalemate, they did not hesitate to stab Mu Zhixi with a miniature poisonous needle in their left hand, Mu Zhixi jumped up to avoid the poisonous needle, and did not hesitate to hold the sword and reflexively stabbed upward, and Mu Zhixi swung his sword to block it. Don't hesitate to reach out and pull Mu Zhixi to drag him in the opposite direction, Mu Zhixi was thrown out of the battle grid by inertia. When he passed by, he reached out and took off a hairpin from his hair, and threw his long sword at him the moment he rushed out of the battle grid, and he didn't hesitate to swing his sword to block it. Mu Zhixi then threw the hairpin and plunged it straight into the heart. Both sides were in tatters.

Xuan Zhu Yi ordered Mu Jinggong to be on the first, and the other party was on the little sister, and not to forget the second on the right. Xuan Zhu Yi is on the right side of Yu Ci He, and the other party is on the top of his friend's painting division. Xuan Zhu Yi Yu Ci Hyuk left one up, the other party ordered the painting division to the right two to the right. The painter came out with a paintbrush, and Yu Tzu-hyuk threw away his long sword and took the whip out. Painting Si Yu paints his own ghostly vassal to attack Yu Cihyuk. Adacon Yu Tzu-hyuk whipped his vassals. However, the painting skills of the painting are superb and fast, and before Yu Tzu Hyuk can eliminate the ghost of the striker, a large number of reserve supplies will appear. Yu Cihyuk stared for a moment, put away the long whip, cut the blood on both hands, and then came to the ghost with his bare hands. As soon as the ghost of the painting comes into contact with the fresh blood, it becomes distorted and has no offensive power, and in a short time, Yu Cihyuk came to the front of the painting. She smeared the blood on the whip and let it wrap around the painting's brush. The brush was stained with fresh blood, and then the light was gone, and the painting was gone. Subsequently, Xuan Zhu Yi Ling Yu Ci Hyuk came to the front of the woman. The woman gladly accepted the fact of this failure.

"Good! Mr! It's me who lost! I didn't expect you to have such great friends. The woman waved her sleeves, and Xuan Zhuyi went out of the chess game with her. There was a crack in the chessboard on the table.

"Sir. You can go, this game is broken by you. ”

"Accept it, girl."

"We'll meet later, sir."

"There will be a date later." One by one, forget-me-not flew towards Xuan Zhuyi, carrying Xuan Zhuyi back to the bridge. The mother-in-law was still standing on the bridge and looking at Xuan Zhuyi. Xuan Zhuyi handed the blue lanterns to her mother-in-law, who took them with a smile and asked, "Now, do you know where they have gone?" ”

Xuan Zhuyi arched his hand and said: "Don't forget me, lovesick tears, what you want, look at each other for a long time." ”

The mother-in-law nodded and said, "Okay! Hope you really get it. But it's up to you to find out. ”

"The younger generation has been taught."

"Let's go!" The mother-in-law blew out the lamp, and the light of forget-me-not dimmed in an instant, and the surroundings fell into darkness, and Xuan Zhuyi also fell asleep grogily. The previous stone statue has also disappeared.

—— —— ——

Mu Zhixi stood in the sleeve of the white-haired old man, observing the movements around him. The fog in the sleeve was so thick that he couldn't make out the direction, and suddenly a white-eyed child sat on a stone in front of Mu Zhixi.

"Little friend? Are you here to test me? ”

The kid laughed, "Yes! Sister, I heard that you know the Tao of metaphysics very well? ”

"Just a little bit of it."

"That's good! Then I'll test you first! ”

"Listen up."

"Does my sister know the five techniques of metaphysics?"

Mountain, medicine, life, divination, and appearance. ”

And what is a "mountain"? ”

The mountains are divided into Xuandian, health, and Tantra.

"Xuandian" is to cultivate sentiment and self-cultivation. Known for studying ideas. "Health preservation" is to breathe daily for longevity and practice Dan Dao. "Cultivating secrets" means cultivating the word "secrets". Including: charms, suppression, star prayer, martial arts, etc. ”

"Hmmm! Sister, you know a lot! ”

"It's just scratching the surface."

"Then sister, can you explain to me "Sanxuan" and "Zhou Yi"? ”

The word "Xuan" originated from "Xuanzhi and Xuan, the door of all wonders" in "Lao Tzu". And "Laozi", "Zhuangzi", and "Zhou Yi" are also called "Three Xuan". "Zhou Yi" is the "Book of Changes", one of the "Three Changes", is one of the traditional classics, according to legend, it was written by King Ji Chang of Zhou Wen, including two parts of "Jing" and "Biography". The "Sutra" is mainly 64 hexagrams and 384 hexagrams, both of which are used for divination. "Zhou Yi" does not put forward the concepts of yin and yang and tai chi, and it is "Yi Chuan" that talks about yin and yang and tai chi. The Biography contains a total of 10 texts that explain hexagrams and epigrams, collectively known as the Ten Wings, and is said to have been written by the sage Master. ”

"Wow! My sister is really amazing! ”

"So what's the problem? I will do my best to answer the question. ”

"And one last question. Sister, can you answer that? ”

"I do my best."

"Good. This question is like this, all things in heaven and earth, the Tao is natural, then life and death are constant, and wealth is in heaven. Sister, do you think this sentence is correct? ”

"Hmm. Human beings are born with their own mission and meaning of existence. Fortune and misfortune always depend on each other, and the future can only be the destiny of each other. ”

"Then here's the problem. Sister, why are you here? ”

Mu Zhixi was stunned for a moment. The white-eyed child continued: "Since you said that everyone is sure about the future, then you have to settle your destiny. Since this is the case, life and death are impermanent, why do you want to come to Lingxian Pavilion? ”

"I'm here to practice immortal arts, find the truth, and avenge my clan."

"But since life and death are fateful, why are you obsessed with this?"

"I ......"

"Sister, don't you think this is contrary to the Dao Law?"

Mu Zhixi thought for a moment and said: "In "Lao Tzu", it was said: 'Taoism is natural. Lao Tzu believes that although the Tao grows all things, it is purposeless and unconscious, and it is "born without being, for the sake of not being ashamed, and growing without slaughtering", that is, it does not take all things as its own, does not boast of its own merits, does not dominate and dominate all things, but allows all things to develop naturally. He also said: "Man is the law of the earth, the earth is the law of the sky, the heaven is the law, and the Tao is the nature." It means that man is subject to the earth, the earth is subject to the sky, the sky is subject to the rules, and the rules are subject to nature. I think that's about going with nature. Man is a part of nature, and nature must be subject to it. However, fairness in the world is not absolute. The life and death of a natural person are all under the destiny of heaven, so if my revenge is successful, then the death of the other party is just a point of natural reincarnation. ”

"Good, good! My sister is really smart and icy! That sister has passed my level! ”

"There will be a date later."

"There will be a date later." Mu Zhixi took out the sleeve of the white-haired old man, and the stone statue on the boat became Mu Zhixi. The white-haired old man smiled and waved his sleeves to lead the boat to carry Mu Zhixi away.
