Mei Wangchen walked more than 100 steps in this Shiqiao Cave Heavenly Realm, saw a hundred kinds of scenery, and finally found the right way again.

When he had reached one hundred and fifty-three paces, a third hut appeared in front of him.

He was about to push the door in, but found that it wouldn't open

"There's someone inside, you're waiting here. An indifferent voice sounded, Mei Wangchen turned his head to look, and saw a fat man wearing a Tsing Yi courtyard uniform appear on a big bluestone next to the thatched hut.

Presumably it should be a student of Hidden Mountain Academy, Mei Wangchen bowed slightly to that person.

The fat man in Tsing Yi is naturally the student in charge of this thatched hut, and he will deal with some emergencies, such as now, there are still people inside, and those outside can't get in, so he needs to come out and say a few words.

Seeing Mei Wangchen's respectful attitude and thoughtful etiquette, the fat man in Tsing Yi was slightly satisfied in his heart, "um", his foot stepped heavily on the big bluestone, and disappeared in an instant.

Mei Wangchen praised this phantom array in his heart, "It's really magical", then stretched his waist, looking at the sun at the head, a little happy. The weather is just right, and it's really good to stand in front of the hut and bask in the sun, thinking like this, my eyes narrowed slightly.

......

After a long time, Mei Wangchen was almost standing and falling asleep under the warm sun, and with a "squeak", the wooden door of the thatched hut was opened.

Mei Wangchen woke up and rubbed his eyes, wanting to look at the man.

The four eyes are facing each other, and the eyes are wide and small.

It was none other than Yun Xirou who came out of the hut. Presumably she came here because of Mei Wangchen's guidance before, but Mei Wangchen accidentally took the wrong road, so she was one step ahead of her.

Yun Xirou's good-looking Danfeng's eyes narrowed slightly, and her small chin was raised higher than the sky, as if she was laughing at Mei Wangchen for being slower than her.

Mei Wangchen was angry in his heart, thinking that if it weren't for you, Young Master, I wouldn't have taken the wrong path, and naturally I wouldn't have come so late.

Yun Xirou's face suddenly turned slightly pale, and she stretched out her right hand, her index finger and middle finger together, like chopsticks, as if she had picked up something in the air, and then leaned forward and pressed it slightly into the air.

Hey, are you playing chess? Mei Wangchen's head hurt a little.

Yun Xirou finished the action, didn't stop much, walked out in one step, and disappeared.

Mei Wangchen looked at the closed wooden door in front of him, and sighed slightly, it was too much trouble to play chess or something......

......

There is nothing strange about the third thatched hut, it is really an ordinary thatched hut, the thatched hut is covered with straw mats on the ground, and a low coffee table is placed on it, and there are a few tea sets scattered on the coffee table, and a wooden incense burner slowly blows green smoke, but this is not all, the most large part of the coffee table is a chessboard.

Qianmo is vertical and horizontal, black and white, this is a chessboard of Go.

On one side of the chessboard, there was already an old man with a white beard, he couldn't tell his actual age, but he looked very old on the surface, the old man's face was simple and unremarkable, his body was also very ordinary, his demeanor was dignified, and the most noticeable thing was his eyes. It is said that the old eyes are dizzy, but the eyes of this white-haired old man are as black and white as the chess pieces on this chessboard, and in the deepest part of the eyes seems to be a pool of clear water, occupying a lot of space, but it is deep and bottomless.

Mei Wangchen just glanced at the white-haired old man, and felt that his spirit was almost swallowed up by the old man's deep eyes, and the old man's eyes seemed to have a special magic.

"Sit down. ”

The white-haired old man's warm voice rang out.

Mei Wangchen clasped his hands into fists, bowed and saluted, and gently walked to the old man and sat on the ground.

The old man picked up two wooden boxes from the chessboard, put them in front of Mei Wangchen, and opened the lid, which turned out to be two boxes of matte chess pieces, one white and one black, without mixing.

"Catalpa chessboard, Yunfu chess pieces. The old man stared at Mei Wangchen and smiled and said, "The chess set is good, and the people who play chess will naturally not be bad, so what color do you want to choose?"

The old man's eyes exude a very comfortable light, making people have a very close feeling, it seems that the old man is an old friend who has known each other for many years, and now he will meet again after many years, drink a cup of tea, and talk about a game.

But Mei Wangchen's face was a little painful, and he said with a wry smile: "Can you not do it?"

"Why not?"

"The chess road is difficult, and the kid is really difficult to control. ”

The old man shook his head with a smile and said slowly: "It's just that I asked you to choose a color, and I didn't say that I must have it." ”

"Isn't the choice of color just for the sake of the child? ”

"If you choose color and don't fall behind, who can say anything about you?"

Mei Wangchen was rarely solemn, staring at the chessboard as if he was thinking about a very difficult question, "Do you have to choose, I don't like to choose, since no one is forcing me to choose, so why should I choose......?"

A chuckle popped out of the old man's mouth, and the darkness around Mei Wangchen receded, and he was finally able to temporarily relieve. In just a few moments, his clothes were soaked with sweat, as if they had just been fished out of the water.

"Heh, you say you hate choices, but in fact, you're sitting here today, isn't it a choice, you've actually made your own choice, haven't you?"

Mei Wangchen fell silent, his wandering eyes hovering back and forth among the black and white chess pieces, and after a long time, with a sigh, a chess piece was dipped by him.

"Snap"

The chess pieces were placed by Mei Wangchen in the middle of the chessboard.

The old man looked at the chess piece and began to be silent, and after a long time, a smile bloomed at the corner of his mouth, and there were seven points of curiosity, two points of doubt, and one point of indescribable regret.

"Hehe, I didn't expect you to choose Baizi. The old man sighed.

"The heart is like the abyss, the blood is as black as the abyss, and the world is white with long songs. ”

"I see. ”

"Since you let me hold the black, then why do you have to go down first. The old man's smile became more and more vigorous, and his eyes became brighter and brighter as he looked at Mei Wangchen.

Mei Wangchen smiled embarrassedly and explained: "I didn't lie to you before, although I know a little bit about chess, but my chess skills are extremely poor, and I don't bother to spend my energy on the chess table, or ...... Let's play backgammon. ”

"Backgammon, the old man has played chess all his life, and he has never heard of ......it," the old man frowned slightly.

"It's okay, it's simple, I'll teach you. Mei Wangchen thought to himself that backgammon was a product of the original world, and there were ghosts in this world when someone knew it.

"You...... Teach me?" the old man's deep eyes slowly widened, until they widened to reveal a bit of coquettishness, and he hadn't heard anyone teach him to play chess for many years.

......

One water, two tea, three and four are the essence, five and six are not bad, seven have aftertaste, eight have aftertaste, and nine and ten still have an aftertaste.

After four brews of tea in the thatched hut, it was the time of strong fragrance, but the chess game had already finished seven or eight games, after all, it was only a five-in-a-row game, and each game ended quickly.

"This kind of playing,It's also a little interesting.,It's just a simple thought.,Occasional games.,It's okay.,If you really want to go down for a day.,It's a little boring.。 ”

When Mei Wangchen heard this, he smiled bitterly, "You think it's simple, but I, who taught you to play chess, haven't won a single game." ”

The old man smiled, dipped another sunspot, and tapped it on the chessboard.

"Oops...... Lost again...... You're so old, so let me go a little bit......"

The old man shook his head, and was about to speak, but was interrupted by a knock on the door.

The knock on the door was so gentle that it seemed to be afraid that the people in the room would be upset. The old man sighed, "Come in." ”
