Chapter 60 Invitations
A month later, in one of the courtyards of Usami's house, the two were playing against each other. With the deer wei set up in the court, 'click, click' slowly fell and rose up, and the chess pieces of the two also fell on the chessboard one by one. Leisurely, quiet and peaceful.
In reality, however, this is not entirely the case. Mo picked up the teacup beside him and took a sip of hot tea, and said slowly: "You have won twenty-three games in a row against me this morning." Anyway, I'm also the host's family, and you, as a guest, can you give me some face. ”
Huiyin, who was sitting opposite, picked up the chess pieces and landed on the chessboard, "The face in the game is to be earned by yourself." And you don't want to win or lose on the chessboard. Well, it's your turn. ”
Mo looked down at his almost 'big dragon' on the chessboard who had been strangled, and sighed lightly, "The way of chess can cultivate one's self and reconcile one's mood. But I don't think anyone can be calm and enlightened after losing 23 games in a row. ”
Having said that, Mo still left a shot, allowing his chess board to continue to survive for a while.
"That's how unheard of you are. In the previous generation, there was a chess master who lost 9981 games in a row, and he was enlightened, understood the Zen Buddha's heart, and finally achieved a generation of holy hatred. Hui Yin dropped another piece and chased directly around Mo's chess path, not intending to let him take more breath.
Mo looked up at the other party, "Are you talking about the 'Invincible Master' in the historical records?" If I'm not mistaken, he lost his life after losing a game of chess that was at stake. ”
"Isn't that just right, and he went to the Western Heaven Bliss early. For monks, it can be said that they have fulfilled their life's pursuit. ”
Mo was thinking about the chess pieces, and suddenly heard this sentence, and suddenly couldn't control his strength, and directly pinched the chess pieces between his fingers into powder.
Looking at the other party calmly holding the teacup and drinking tea, the corners of Mo's mouth twitched twice, and finally slowly spoke: "Sometimes I think you are quite humorous." ”
"yes, thanks for the compliment." Huiyin raised the teacup and gestured, "It's your turn." ”
Looking at the chess board where the defeat had been decided, Mo sighed, it didn't make much sense to continue, so he still admitted defeat.
Just then, a sound of footsteps came from outside the house. Soon, a figure appeared on the door screen and whispered: "Your Highness Mo, here is a letter of invitation from you." ”
Mo's eyes lit up, and then quickly reverted to his expressionless appearance, nodded and said, "Okay, you can come in." ”
Then he turned his head to look at Hui Yin, "Crow has something to report, let's wait a little before we start." As for this round......"
Mo's sleeves brushed over the chessboard, directly erasing the chess pieces on it, "It's a draw." ”
Ignoring the obvious contempt in Huiyin's eyes on the other side, Mo turned to look at the crow who pushed open the door screen and entered the room, "Crow, where did the invitation you said come from?" ”
The crow walked into the back of the house, and then saw Huiyin sitting across from Mo, and was stunned. Then he looked at Mo again, and saw that Mo didn't show any signal, so he half-knelt down and reported: "The other party didn't identify himself, just handed the invitation to the doorman and left." ”
"Oh? It seems that there is something special about this invitation? Mo Mi looked at her, didn't identify herself, and even just gave the invitation to the doorman and left. Such a move can even be said to be extremely rude. In general, in this case, the doorman will probably dispose of it directly as garbage, how dare he really send this kind of thing.
And now that it has been specially presented, it is clear that there is something special about this invitation or the person who sent it.
"Yes! Upon examination, the invitation appeared to have some kind of deceptive power attached to it. As soon as the guards received the invitation, they were affected by the forces from above, and they ignored the rules and submitted the invitation directly. and influenced many subordinates along the way, and presented it layer by layer. It wasn't until he was sent to his subordinates that he discovered the anomaly. ”
After speaking, the crow took out the invitation from his body and presented it with both hands: "This is the invitation, after the subordinates noticed the strangeness of this invitation, they did not dare to make their own opinions, so they specially came to report to His Highness." ”
"Hmm." Mo nodded and took the invitation.
From the outside, there is nothing special about this invitation. A light blue background, gold embroidered edges, and his name is written on it. But in the field of vision that ordinary people can't see, this invitation has a faint blue light on it, up and down.
This blue light is probably the wonderful power that affects those ordinary people. After thinking about it and perceiving it, Mo directly opened the invitation.
After reading the content of the invitation, the corners of Mo's mouth raised slightly, and then waved at the crow: "Well, no problem." This invitation was sent by someone I know. You've handled it well, step aside. ”
"Yes!" The raven saluted, and then withdrew.
Mo looked at the invitation card in his hand and thought about it, and then handed it to Huiyin on the side.
"May I?" Huiyin was stunned, and when she saw Mo's indifferent look, she also took the invitation and opened it.
There is not much content on it, it is basically some ordinary etiquette terms, Huiyin swept it directly, saw the last content, and then couldn't help but read out with a puzzled face: "Hot springs? ”
"yes, hot springs." Mo picked up the teacup next to him and took a sip, then frowned. Not...... It's already cold.
"It's a very famous hot spring mecca. Every winter, many dignitaries and dignitaries travel thousands of miles to enjoy the unique hot spring treatments. ”
"And it is said that the hot springs there are indeed very effective, and many people have been cured of their old diseases after soaking there."
Huiyin raised her eyebrows, looked at the invitation in her hand, and asked a little uncertainly, "Then where did this acquaintance of yours come from?" ”
"Well, sort of." Ink re-pour hot water into the teapot.
Huiyin played with the invitation card in her hand, then put it on the table, the corners of her mouth raised slightly, "You gave me this, does it mean that you are inviting me to go with you?" ”
Faced with Huiyin's question, the corners of Mo's mouth raised slightly, and said, "In the vast winter, walk with beauty." It's one of life's great pleasures, isn't it? ”
"Huh...... Come on, you're just worried that no one will be able to watch me after you leave. ”
Mo smiled and shook his head, then looked at Huiyin, "Do you want to go?" ”
"Of course I want to go, but I have one request!"
"Say"
"I'm going to take Ah Li with me. She's not in good health all along, and if the hot spring you're talking about is really that effective, let her soak in it. ”
She wasn't interested in any hot springs or anything, but she was sure she would love to check them out and try them. And if it can really help her body, it can also help Ah Li to adjust her body bones that have not been very good.
"Yes." Mo nodded, then looked out of the court. I saw that on the gray sky, white chips began to slowly fall.
Reach out and catch one of them, watch it slowly melt into water, and feel the cold touch on the top of your palm. Huiyin on the side let out a low sigh, "It's snowing." ”
"Well, yes, it's snowing."
