When a man and a woman approached, the tall man looked at the two of them carefully for a while, the man was majestic, the woman was delicate, both were young, they were not dressed locally, their eyes were indifferent, and they didn't look like a big traitor, so they took the initiative to say: "The two of you should have come from afar, could it be something?"

The young man smiled calmly and said, "Tu Tielin, aren't you going to invite the two of us back to the camp and prepare a few bowls of thin wine?"

was called out by a stranger with his real name, Tu Tielin was slightly stunned, and then sneered: "Tu's wine is only drunk to confidants, never to people I don't know, sorry, the wind is high tonight, it's better for the two of you to come and go." ”

Tu Tielin ignored the two of them anymore, turned around and left.

The young woman looked at the black knife behind his back and said with a faint smile: "If there is really a father, there must be a son, and he will be the same as your son." ”

At the mention of his son, Tu Tielin suddenly stopped, and when he looked at the two of them again, he was already vigilant in his heart, and asked in a low voice: "Isn't it boring to make such an unreasonable request even if you know that you are slamming the door?"

The woman smiled slightly and said, "When he was in Chaotian Mountain, Xiao Jiansheng owed our senior brothers and sisters a drink, since he met his father here, shouldn't his father invite him to this drink?"

Tu Tielin was confused and didn't know how to answer, so he tried to ask, "Should I invite or not?"

Suddenly, the man smiled and said, "Let me tell you this, the two of us can't drink this wine tonight, and you can't give this face." ”

Tu Tielin glanced at the man who spoke carefully, he couldn't feel any realm, and faintly gave people an unfathomable premonition, thinking that it was time to employ people, he thought about it carefully, and suddenly smiled heartily: "Tu has always been hospitable, so please do it, but the two of you are not going to leave a name?"

The young man said calmly: "Son-in-law Lu." ”

The young woman smiled and said, "Su Qianqian." ”

Tu Tielin thought for a moment and said with a smile: "Immortal couple, this face is worth a meal." ”

Immediately, the three of them walked towards the camp in the distance.

......

The night covers all four fields.

On the top of the stone, the two elders of Shoutiannu frequently fell on the ground, but there was no chessboard at the place where the children fell, and the black and white children were all suspended on a plane, even subtle.

Xiao Jiansheng and Ma Fu each squatted on one side, watching intently at the two of them silently, Xiao Jiansheng knew chess but was not profound, so he naturally couldn't see the exquisite layout of the period, but he knew that this game of chess had some special significance, so he memorized while observing, and firmly remembered the direction of each black and white piece in his mind.

But Ma Fu is different, she has been proficient in qin, chess, calligraphy and painting since she was a child, especially this kind of chess that symbolizes the method of yin and yang, and she likes to specialize.

In the middle of the night, this game of chess seems to have reached the most subtle point, the two elders of Shoutiannu are calm down, frequently out of danger, the chess falls silently, but every time a piece falls, there will be a ripple on the empty chessboard, as if the chess pieces fell into the water.

After a stick of incense, it seems

The second old man was already tired, and the speed of the falling son slowly slowed down, and finally this slowness became a simple no longer falling down, so far, there is no winner or loser on the chessboard, just when the white-robed old man was about to fall with the black son in his hand, his hand suddenly stopped, and smiled at the black-robed old man opposite: "That's it?"

The black-robed old man nodded slightly, "Let's stop here." ”

Immediately, the second elder got up and stretched, and then looked at the thick night.

"The old man is old, I wonder if the new man can be up to the task?"

"The son-in-law is okay, but he is a little capricious, and I hope he can sharpen it. ”

"I forgot to tell you, the son-in-law said that he had found the most suitable piece. ”

"It's good to find it, it's gratifying. ”

"Don't you want to know who this person is?"

At this moment, the black-robed old man glanced at Xiao Jiansheng, who was looking down and thinking carefully, and laughed in a low voice: "White ghost, what is this guy doing?"

The white-robed old man laughed and said, "Others are easy to guess, but this guy is difficult to guess." ”

At this time, Xiao Jiansheng and Ma Fu were still silent in the chess path, and seemed to be a little regretful, after all, this game of chess has no beginning and no end.

Because they were too immersed, they didn't hear the conversation of the two elders of Shoutiannu at all, I don't know how long it took, Xiao Jiansheng realized that this was a game with no ending at all, he got up and wanted to ask why the second elder had no ending, what was the meaning of a game of chess, but just when he was about to ask, he found that the surroundings were empty, and the second elder had been gone for a long time.

Xiao Jiansheng glanced at Ma Fu, Ma Fu glanced around, and said, "There is no beginning and no end, maybe the ending is too vague." ”

Xiao Jiansheng sighed slightly: "Maybe." ”

Ma Fu got up, looked at Xiao Jiansheng and asked, "Remember?"

Xiao Jiansheng glanced at the black and white children suspended in the air, nodded lightly, and said, "Remember." ”

At this moment, Ma Fu suddenly stretched out his hand and grabbed a piece, and then after a little thought, it fell gently, the chess piece also levitated, stirring up a circle of ripples of halo, Xiao Jiansheng was about to ask what this son was here to mean, only to see those black and white pieces suddenly tremble, and in an instant they broke away from the void chess line, and all the chess pieces suddenly shot into the night sky, turning into dazzling stars in the night sky, these stars turned into chess pieces are more twinkling than those real stars, like a bright lamp.

Xiao Jiansheng looked up at those flickering places, and suddenly felt that the aura of this heaven and earth had changed, and it became a little intriguing, he looked at Ma Fu and said in surprise: "What happened just now?"

Ma Fu shook his head and said, "I don't know if you can see it, just now the second elder of Shoutiannu deliberately left the next step for the two of us." ”

Xiao Jiansheng shook his head and said, "For chess, I only know the surface, and it is difficult to find the true meaning. ”

Ma Fu was surprised: "But I fell into the second elder's will, why did the prohibition of this world disappear?

Xiao Jiansheng frowned and whispered, "Maybe they want to involve the Ma family, otherwise."

The two of us alone can't cope with the next situation, and there are always people standing behind us to support us. ”

Ma Fu smiled bitterly: "I knew this, I held back my curiosity, now it's okay, the team of 1,000 people will be on the road without hindrance as soon as the sky is bright tomorrow, they must be determined to put you to death on this trip, it's really incomprehensible, what does the second elder Shoutiannu mean at this time?"

Xiao Jiansheng didn't know, he shook his head bitterly, smiled faintly, looked at the flickering lights in the distance, glanced at another direction, and said bitterly: "How far do you guess Ma Xingkong has fused the basic nine-day suicide note?"

Ma Fu looked at Xiao Jiansheng quietly and sneered: "Are you very afraid of horses?"

Xiao Jiansheng hummed and said with a smile: "I shouldn't say I'm afraid, I'm worried that he will disrupt my plan." ”

Ma Fu smiled: "That's still afraid, if you are confident that your strength can make him retreat, you won't be afraid." ”

Xiao Jiansheng nodded and became silent.

Under the night dome, on the top of the stone, the two of them stood on one side, each thinking about their own thoughts.

Xiao Jiansheng fell on his back on the edge of the stone top, his two feet stretched out outside the stone top, shaking silently, his eyebrows were locked, his lips moved slightly, as if he was whispering something, Ma Fu was quiet in which game of chess was unfinished, and thought about every detail of the second elder of Shoutiannu over and over again, when the sky was about to dawn, she turned her back to Xiao Jiansheng and said excitedly: " Among the nine days of suicide note, there is one related to chess, although this kind of book is not in the scope of practice, but at that time it was the most intense one, the Ma family was afraid that people would search for hundreds of years, and in the end it was fruitless, as for who the book fell into in the end, I'm afraid no one knows. ”

Xiao Jiansheng suddenly opened his eyes and said suspiciously: "Do you also think that this game of chess left by the second elder Shoutiannu has another meaning?"

Ma Fu muttered: "It turns out that this book has already entered the pocket of the second elder, no wonder it has not been born since it disappeared." ”

Xiao Jiansheng said disappointedly: "It's a pity, my chess skills are superficial, otherwise I will comprehend it more deeply." ”

Mafu got up and said, "What if the two of them work together?"

The next time, Xiao Jiansheng and Ma Fu began to get busy, the two began to sketch on the top of the stone by the night, when it was almost dawn, a complete game of chess was depicted on the top of the stone, when the black and white pieces were suspended, the range of the fallen pieces was small, the two of them completely regarded it as a game of chess pieces, once they jumped on the top of the stone, the vertical and horizontal chess lines gradually became clear, and the black and white children appeared in the minds of the two people as if they were special symbols, connecting all the symbols, that is, all the meridians in the human body, this meridian map was all-encompassing and complex, when Xiao Jiansheng followed those symbols and then compared the position above the bodyWhen he dragged the Yuanyang Qi in the sea of qi and injected them one by one, he suddenly found that the body was ethereal, and there seemed to be a sign of breaking the ancestral realm, but it was slightly different from the breaking realm.

I don't know how long it took for Xiao Jiansheng to get out of that complicated emotion, he looked at the sun rising in the east, and relaxed his body and mind happily.
