Chapter Seventy-Seven: The Game on the Chessboard
What is the justice you seek?
Even if you trample on the lives of the losers and carry the sins and resentments of the deceased, you must fight for the people you love.
Since he made up his mind to protect Mulan, Lu Yu has relied on this belief to come all the way to the present.
But he gave very little thought to the meaning of justice.
"If the justice you have been pursuing is told that you are wrong one day, then no matter how powerful you are, you will eventually fall into hell."
This was his last words to Lu Yu when he was separated from Li Bai in front of the restaurant.
The Pursuit of Justice......
Looking at the distant sky, Lu Yu fell into deep thought again.
......
In the depths of the crowded and noisy market, there is a remote and quiet courtyard full of bewitching peonies.
Extremely incongruous with the hustle and bustle of the outside world, this courtyard is quiet like a paradise, and the atmosphere of indifference and indisputability alone gives people a very peaceful and peaceful feeling.
However, if the mind is deeply immersed in it, it will be confused by a mysterious aura and it will be difficult to extricate itself.
"This is the place where the bite gold said."
Looking at the sandalwood gate in front of him, Di Renjie frowned tightly.
As soon as he stepped into this place, he felt an unprecedented palpitation from this isolated place.
And this inexplicable palpitation, but with the lingering shadow in the dream, quietly merged, a mysterious and terrifying vague figure, floating in his mind.
What is that?
Why, do you feel so scared?
Di Renjie wanted to force himself to calm down, but the throbbing in his heart not only did not subside, but became more and more intense.
"Yo, isn't this Lord Di, the sheriff?"
When the gate was opened, the fragrance of the peony and the ...... came Those breathtaking pupils.
The bewitching face looked directly at him like this, but the smile that seemed to be absent made Di Renjie feel uncomfortable.
"You are Ming Shiyin?"
The sudden voice broke the nightmare a little, and he forcibly held back the throbbing in his heart, Di Renjie's face returned to a little normal, and he said in the tone that he had always interrogated prisoners.
"I'm Ming Shiyin."
Listening to the voice, it was obviously a man, but his uplifted smile was as charming as a woman.
Moreover, what made Di Renjie care more was the mysterious magic weapon on Ming Shiyin's chest, which emitted a faint purple light.
"What is this?"
"This is the treasure I use to observe the good and bad of the stars."
After that, Ming Shiyin also gently caressed the magic weapon on his chest, and the strange purple light reflected his bewitching face.
"Good luck and bad ......"
Snorting disdainfully, Di Renjie said lightly: "Then let me ask you, how is my auspicious and evil image?" ”
Di Renjie has never believed in these mysterious things, in his eyes, only himself is the one who can decide his fate.
There was not the slightest fear of Di Renjie's majestic voice, Ming Shiyin just smiled lightly.
"In the hexagram, there is never an absolute good or evil, just like ...... There is no such thing as absolute justice. ”
The bewitching eyes became more and more confused, and the strange purple light seemed to be melting the bottom line in his heart step by step.
Looking at the leisurely Ming Shiyin with cold eyes, Di Renjie felt the illusion of a headache for the first time even more than when he faced Li Bai.
He is obviously a security manager who makes all the criminals in Chang'an fearful, but at this moment, facing Ming Shiyin, there is no way at all.
But the desire to find out the mystery in his heart burst out like his unyielding spirit.
"Ming Shiyin, since I'm coming from afar, you have to let me go in and have a look, right? Maybe...... We can still play a game of chess. ”
Looking at the bewitching and terrifying eyes, Di Renjie said calmly.
"Glad to ......"
A relaxed smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and Ming Shiyin bowed slightly, inviting Di Renjie into his courtyard.
Entering the courtyard, Di Renjie suddenly felt a sense of elegance. But the strange thing is that even in the season of flowers, the peony in the courtyard is still blooming with a bewitching light, making people feel like spring.
"Master Di."
When he came to the chessboard, Di Renjie saw a young man who was a little shorter but had a good look.
The young man was very polite, as if he had already known about Di Renjie's arrival, and greeted him respectfully.
"His name is Yixing, and he is my disciple."
Ming Shiyin introduced.
"Oh? You are the legendary boy who defeated the Fuso envoy in the chess game at that time? ”
Unexpectedly, this genius chess player was actually Ming Shiyin's apprentice. This surprised Di Renjie a little.
"Master Di praised it falsely, what inhabits the chessboard, in addition to winning and losing, there is also yin and yang. I'm not just winning or losing, I'm winning in the infinite universe on the chessboard. ”
He didn't seem to like to laugh, and when Yixing spoke, his voice was very cold.
"It seems that you have taught a good disciple."
It turns out that there are still many strange people around Ming Shiyin.
Looking around, Di Renjie also found that in the corner, there was a pipa, and on the ground, there were still a few red leaves.
Red......
"Master Di, didn't you say that you want to play a game of chess with me?"
Interrupting Di Renjie's thoughts, Ming Shiyin said lightly behind him.
"Hmph, let the horses come."
So, the two of them spread out the chessboard.
The small chessboard suddenly became a place of fierce soldiers on the battlefield at this moment.
The game on this chess game is a matter of life and death, but it grinds their souls.
Beside him, there was the silent gaze of Peony and Yixing.
The moment the pieces fall, it is not until the sun slowly sets that the winner or loser is announced.
However, this time, Di Renjie, who usually terrifies criminals, has been defeated on the chessboard one after another.
Putting down the chess pieces in his hand, Ming Shi asked with a faint smile: "My lord, do you want to play another game?" ”
Di Renjie threw away the chess pieces and said coldly: "It is said that Her Majesty the Empress allows, if the hexagram changes, you can enter the palace at any time?" ”
"Not bad."
"I'll watch you."
"My lord didn't understand what he said."
Di Renjie's bright eyes, like an eagle falcon, looked firmly at the smiling Ming Shiyin.
"What are you asking for? Not only your ambition on the chessboard, but also your so-called hexagram, is it unjust and evil? ”
"But even if you keep it under your breath, that's okay. I'll keep an eye on you, always. ”
Dropping the last warning, Di Renjie waved his sleeves and left.
"That's really ...... I can't ask for it. ”
Looking at Di Renjie's departing figure, the corners of Ming Shiyin's mouth showed a sarcastic sneer.
"A justice-seeking sheriff? Hehe...... Soon, you'll be like that drunkard, completely losing yourself. ”
