Chapter 217: Life is like chess

These clips are like an introduction to the small town of Russ, and they seem to tell the story of the city, and what is the purpose of the story

Qiu Xiaobai turned sideways slightly, and Wang Defa and the others seemed to be surprised by the changes in front of them, and they all stood in front of the stone statues, with a puzzled look in their eyes. Baidu search literature network, more good free reading.

Earlier, it was clear that the military camp had come into view, so why did it become a mountain peak when it got closer

Yun Ruyan also looked surprised, stretched out his little hand to touch the round stone statue, closed his eyes and felt everything in front of him.

There is a stone platform in the center, with two stone piers on opposite sides, and on the stone platform is a chess game, with a number of black and white pieces.

Wang Defa said curiously: "Xiaobai, come and see here"

"This is" Yun Ruyan frowned slightly, thought for a while, and then looked at the surrounding stone statues and the sky.

As soon as he saw Yun Ruyan leaning over to inquire, Wang Defa retreated to the side for no reason.

"Could it be that this game of chess has not been finished before," Qiu Xiaobai asked.

There are more than 100 chess pieces on the chessboard, which is carved directly on the stone platform, and there is a chess box that has been sunk into it on the right hand side.

Ordinary Go Qiu Xiaobai is naturally involved, so he also has a sense of the method of deciding the outcome of the game, he looked at it, and found that the black has accounted for half of the intersection points of the whole game, and the white chess has been few, it seems that there is no need to continue, but this chess game is placed here, it means that the chess is not finished, there is some kind of deep meaning

"Look at how many sunspots there are," Qing Liu'er nodded with a deep understanding, pointing to the chessboard.

"There are ninety-eight of them, and there are only ten of them white." Wang Defa counted it carefully and replied.

"The outcome of this game of chess should not be determined by a simple victory." Qiu Xiaobai looked at the carved chessboard and chess pieces in front of him, and said thoughtfully.

"How do you say that?" asked Wang Defa.

"I just roughly observed the arrangement of the stone statues, let's count them again, and see how many people are in the main attack." Qing Liu'er showed a wise look.

There are not many people who are mainly attacking and killing, and there are few people with weapons in their hands, Wang Defa scratched the black hair on his head, and he was really puzzled.

"If you look at these stone statues carefully, those with fierce faces or weapons in their hands are classified as sunspots, and we will divide them into two sides and count them in the middle." Qiu Xiaobai smiled and explained.

"Okay, let's meet in the middle." Wang Defa nodded knowingly.

Where there is no sunlight, there is darkness. In many cases, hypocrites who use underhanded means to seriously injure others are even more terrible than the enemies who come directly at them with a sharp blade, because they are often so well planned that you cannot be caught off guard.

After a little bit of Qingliu'er, Wang Defa really saw many small details that he had ignored before, those hidden under the pine tree, the movements of the elegant sleeves, and they were shown one by one, he saw the three or two relatives and friends talking eloquently, the fists clenched tightly in the sleeves, and the violent anger on the faces of the people who turned around.

Qiu Xiaobai closed his eyes, feeling the flow of grass and trees on this land, he was suddenly very grateful to the person who carved the stone statue here, he could live here for a long time, stay out of the matter, is the master who really sees everything and has no quarrel with the world

When he came back to his senses, he quickly ran to the center chessboard, and sure enough, Qing Liu'er was already waiting there early, standing on her toes and looking forward to it.

"I'm sorry, I'm distracted, there are a total of forty-seven people hiding murderous intentions on my side." Wang Defa said apologetically.

"There are fifty-two of them on my side, and strangely enough, even I can't believe that the women and children with children in their arms are fierce." Qing Liu'er shook her head lightly and said with an incredulous expression.

"This kind of thing, who said it clearly" Qiu Xiaobai said with a smile: "But our Qingda beauty is Bing Xue smart, and she guessed well, so it adds up to exactly ninety-eight people." ”

The chess pieces on the chessboard are not lost at random, but are closely related to the statue at the top of this peak, so where is the key to solving the chess game?

Qiu Xiaobai crossed her arms and looked at her with interest, what to do next

Of course, these stone statues were to be used as chess pieces to land on this chessboard. Baidu search literature network, more good free reading.

The two looked at each other and smiled, figuring out the key point.

The black chess pieces and the mountain in the chessboard, and the white chess pieces should also be hidden in it.

On this peak, there are one hundred and fifty-seven stone statues, and there are fifty-nine left, excluding the marked ninety-eight who advocate killing.

There are only ten white pieces on the chessboard, black and white are opposed, and white is advocating defense, which means that it is necessary to carefully investigate in these 59 stone statues and find a symbol that can prove their identity.

The two decided to go together, and if they met someone who couldn't be decided, they could discuss it together.

In addition to the marked, it is relatively easy to find, Qing Liu'er's eyes are like torches, and many things have been said in a word.

The sensitivity of his meticulous observation of things is that Qiu Xiaobai is concentrating and waving his hand again and again, admitting that he is not his opponent.

Although Wang Defa vented his hatred last time, he was still worried about Yun Ruyan in his heart, and when he took turns thinking about it this time, he unconsciously walked with Yun Ruyan.

And the progress of Qiu Xiaobai and the two here is also very efficient, and the people who advocate defense are still relatively easy to find, and they soon find something strange.

Although these people are dressed differently, but their cuffs are more or less exposed, these people have a dinner guest, a groom pulling a cart, a vendor selling sugar gourds, and an old man listening to a small song, the two guess that this is a gang organization, these people have expressions of enjoyment, should only be happy, should not intervene in this war.

In addition to the country warriors who were determined to be defensive, civilians in cloth clothes, and a few childish children, two stone statues were finally screened out, which need to be studied.

Both of these statues are larger, and the hidden content is much richer.

One is a stone statue of a fisherman casting a net, the fisherman's face is scarred, his eyes look at the thatched house with green smoke in the distance, his face seems to be sad and happy, standing on the light boat, the half-open fishing net in his hand has not yet entered the water, and a heavy firewood knife is tied to the wood pulp, and the blood stains on the firewood knife have not dried. There was a middle-aged man lying on the hull, the man was unconscious, and at this moment the blood on his left arm was dripping to the surface of the water, staining it red for a small half a square hour.

The other depicts a young man in Tsing Yi, wearing a hat and holding an iron sword in his arms, sitting at the head of the bridge. At the head of the bridge are written three big characters, the sky is raining lightly, the sky is also shrouded in a trace of mist, he seems to be waiting for someone, his eyes are staring at an uninhabited alley ahead, there are two withered oil lamps hanging on the wooden ridge of the alley, and the mask is wrinkled.

These two stone statues are extremely large, and Yi Shan Yi noticed it at the beginning, Rao is he meditated hard, and still did not know the information hidden in the stone statues.

There was a middle-aged man lying on the fisherman's boat, the man was unconscious, but his face was calm, he did not receive treatment, and there was a bloodstained firewood knife pinned to the wood pulp on the side, and the human and material evidence was there, this was simply the scene of the murder.

In another picture, the boy is sitting on the Nai He Bridge with a sword in his arms, still motionless in the rain, just waiting for the people coming from the alley across the Nai He Bridge

What does this mean, but there are only ghosts walking on the bridge

Qiu Xiaobai looked at Qing Liu'er, and saw that she was staring at the stone statue in front of her anxiously, her cheeks were quiet and natural, her eyes were bright, and she was extremely moving.

"I thought about it." She smiled and looked at Qiu Xiaobai, very happy.

Shan Qiu Xiaobai bent down and bowed respectfully to her, deeply impressed, and then made a gesture of listening to her.

"Look at this picture, the net in the fisherman's hand has not yet been spilled, and there is already a person lying in the boat, indicating that the person was rescued by him first, and the blood on the hands of the unconscious man is not stopped, and the color of the blood is painted with a black background, is it not a poisonous color, and the left hand is much more swollen than the right hand, I am afraid that it is caused by the bite of a poisonous snake, and the fisherman must have seen the poison in the coma, so he used a firewood knife to cut a hole in the injured man's arm, and the wound hung down to force out the poisonous blood. Looking into the distance, the thatched house was his home, and his eyes were mixed, revealing his mood at the moment. Although it is a good thing to save people, he is worried that he will take this person back rashly, lest his wife at home worry, so his expression is so complicated. Qing Liu'er took Qiu Xiaobai to the stone statue and pointed them out one by one, confirming her observations.

"Awesome." Qiu Xiaobai suddenly opened up when she heard it, and praised her with a thumbs up.

There is also this picture, the young man bends down to sit at the head of the bridge of the Nai He Bridge and waits for others, which means that he has an appointment with someone in advance, and this bridge is called the Nai He Bridge, and the opposite side of it is the road that indicates the return of the soul. In the empty alley, the sky is not dark but there are two oil lamps burning, indicating that the visitor has arrived. The sword in his hand is light and flashy, the sword shape is graceful, it should be a woman's sword, and he seems to hold it in his arms casually, which has already pointed out that the young man attaches great importance to this sword. This person is duplicitous, and he is still willing to wait for her here, and his face is calm, on the one hand, it is enough to show that the young man loves this deceased woman, and on the other hand, it also means that the young governor is reasonable and does not want to mention revenge again. Qing Liu'er trotted all the way and hurried to another stone statue.

"This young man in Tsing Yi has no evil thoughts in his heart, but he is holding a woman's sword, which shows his attitude." Qing Liu'er continued.

Qiu Xiaobai's height in the game is one meter eight, and Qing Liu'er is half a head shorter than him, plus the distance is already close unconsciously, looking up at him like this, he only feels that his eyes are facing each other, and he is close at hand.

When she arrived, Qiu Xiaobai saw her turn her head sharply, shrinking her neck, and her ears were red.

"This young man is holding a sword in his arms, which means that he is in a defensive posture, and he is naturally acting as a defender." Qiu Xiaobai smiled speechlessly in her heart, took her words and quipped: "Miss Qing is very smart, so I admire her, but this level of shyness, I'm afraid she has to practice diligently." ”

He laughed, and what he said made her a little puzzled.

"What is shyness," she asked, bowing her head.

"Who do you say is too reserved" Qiu Xiaobai made a strange voice and shook his head with a smile.

It turned out that this was the case, and she suddenly woke up, and her cheeks suddenly flushed, and the sudden intimacy made her stay where she was, and she didn't know what to do.

It was Qiu Xiaobai who relieved the embarrassment, and now all the ten whites have been found, and the next step is the decisive method of this game of chess.

It's just that I don't know whether the person who is playing this big game of chess advocates the style of killing, or advocates non-aggression and love

If it is according to the current situation, I am afraid that if I take a few steps, the one with the black in his hand can drive out the white son; If you try to protect the white child, you really need to use your brains.

Life is like chess, one wrong step will make a wrong step.

This person is elegant and indifferent, with a unique mind, in this world, in such a large-scale chess game, his intentions are elusive, and it is really difficult to speculate on what he thinks in his heart.

The two of them know the truth here, so they must be foolproof before they can do it.

This may be the only way to get out.

"Everyone is so tired, why don't we sit here and eat something"

After a busy day, the sun slipped down the mountain again.

Looking at the several stone benches in front of him, Qiu Xiaobai beckoned everyone to sit down, and then proposed: "Let's sit on this stone bench, maybe we can also figure out the mood of the chess players at that time." ”

His words were full of concern, and he was clearly so approachable, but Qing Liu'er was still a little shy.

His cheeks flushed for no reason, so he had to nod and sit on the stone bench obediently, watching him take out the food from the package and hand it to his hand.

These beef jerky are taken in the full bloom of flowers, and the food settings in the game are not specific, and the current role is only to be edible, but it does not provide any attributes.

"Eating can properly replenish energy and promote the functioning of the brain." Qiu Xiaobai explained with a smile, "What we have to do is to work steadily and find a way to break the game." ”

Wang Defa and the others also took out some dry cakes from their respective packages, for this kind of thing, they have always been very well prepared, Yun Ruyan also had a group of brothers take out the dry food in their arms, handed it to her, and then sat around a relatively shady place to rest.

Qing Liu'er didn't know what she was thinking, and she didn't speak, just looked at him and nodded.

"I think we'll look for it again in a while, and keep an eye on it." Qiu Xiaobai bit the dried beef, thought about it, and said, "Look at what the original owner left behind." ”

She was staring at the chessboard in front of her, slender jade holding half a dry cake in her hand, and there was a little bit of scrap on the corner of her mouth, which was fascinating.

"Hey, what do you want" Qiu Xiaobai straightened up, unceremoniously gave her a gentle brain collapse and said: "Concentrate on eating, don't think nonsense." ”

Qing Liu'er was in pain, and suddenly came back to her senses, blinked Shui Ling's eyes, and snorted dissatisfiedly.

I saw Qiu Xiaobai take out her water bladder from the package and pour it into her mouth unceremoniously.

"I know you have a lot of food, and I still have it here." Qiu Xiaobai wiped her mouth naturally with one hand, and saw her staring at herself, just as if she hadn't eaten enough, so she handed over the dried beef packed with oiled paper with one hand.

"I, I don't have a lot of food, why do you drink my water" Qing Liu'er was a little puzzled, and then dissatisfied. Who cares about the amount of food?

"If you are thirsty, drink what kind of water" Qiu Xiaobai asked pretending to be puzzled after dealing with the scene with a sluggish action.

"Don't drink my water" She took three steps and made two steps, pulled one out of the package, and drank it in a big gulp against the scorching sun, as if this was enough to relieve her hatred, as for drinking, yes

The sun shines on the satin-like long hair, the face is beautiful, the lips are red and the teeth are white, wearing a yellow silk dress, there is a trace of naughty hair blowing with the wind between the ears, there is a domineering spirit in the delicate, the flowers and branches are showing, and the beauty is amazing.

"Yo, you want to take advantage of me, Xiao Nizi, you are too rough like this, people like it." Qiu Xiaobai was joking, covering her cheeks and pretending to be shy.

He didn't drink water to his mouth just now, so he was just talking, relieving the nervous problem later, and it wouldn't be so boring.

The appearance of the chivalrous man with two swords on his back is already handsome and extraordinary, and the fingers covering his cheeks intentionally or unintentionally pinch out the appearance of orchid fingers, and his eyes blink between the opening and closing of his fingers.

In Qing Liu'er's eyes, this appearance is only afraid that it is more charming and charming than the woman who is showing off in the spring breeze in March.

She wanted to laugh, but she couldn't.

The sun was shining, and she just stared straight at him.

When Qiu Xiaobai asked her again after the victory, her eyes were bright, the stars were shining, and she said with a smile: "When you have the opportunity to go to Lanling, I will definitely introduce you to Zuichun Tower."

Drunken Spring Building may be a place where Goolan women haunt, but what Qiu Xiaobai is puzzled about is her words and her expression.

At this moment, looking at the stone statues on the top of the peak, I only feel that this is a battle, the top of the stone statue is full of clouds and shadows, and the wind is surging, which seems to render this silent battle into thick smoke, and the sound and color are complete.

There is too much information hidden by the stone statue, and Qiu Xiaobai can only use his hands to remove the grass and branches and leaves that are covered, and observe carefully in case he misses the clues.

"Ahh

"That's it, scare you like this" Qiu Xiaobai ran over quickly when he heard this, and after seeing it clearly, he suddenly felt a little speechless.

On a tender green branch, a lazy cyan caterpillar is on it, wriggling proudly.

"Then who knew there were caterpillars here." Qing Liu'er argued.

"You are beautiful, you have the final say" dizzy, thinking that there was something dangerous, Qiu Xiaobai nodded helplessly, it's okay.

Finally, the two of them searched for it, and found important information engraved on the edge pinnacles of the two sides.

The south side is as follows: the big does not attack the small, the strong does not insult the weak, the many do not steal and the widowed, and the deceit does not deceive the foolish.

The north is: the noble is not arrogant, the rich is not arrogant and the poor, and the strong are not old. It is a country in the world, and it is not necessary to harm each other with water, fire, poison and blades.

The intention of advocating the equality of all beings is already so obvious.

"So what are you waiting for?"

On the chess game, the fighting spirit is awe-inspiring.

Qiu Xiaobai rubbed his hands, his expression was irrepressibly excited, his eyes were full of war, and he stood firmly on Bai Zi's side, next to the edge of Fang Qinghan's stone pier.

What made Qiu Xiaobai dissatisfied was that when he finished saying this, Qing Liu'er just nodded, without any discoloration, showing a calm and calm demeanor that was enough to stabilize the position of the boss.
