Cold ice can't break the water, and dead wood can meet spring again.

My heart was very confused, just when I was at a loss, suddenly I realized something, I suddenly remembered what Wang Ningshuang said, I pondered, and the answer flashed in my brain. I looked like I was about to find it, but it was a little bit short.

Suddenly, there was a noticeable change in my expression, it turned out to be like this!! I finally found the key to it, and the unintentional conversation became the key to solving the puzzle. I looked at the shattered 'stone box' on the ground, and the answer was already in my heart. I looked up at the blue sky with a smile on my face.

"Cheng Yin, you are here. We've been looking for you for a long time. The two people who came up were Cui Li and Lin Yun.

"That's it, you don't know how long Cui Li and I have been looking for you." Lin Yun muttered on the side.

"I just wanted to confirm something." I will tell them the ins and outs of the "stone box".

"I thought that the 'stone box' that I finally got was empty, you said that Wang Lao was not angry, obviously he opened the 'stone box', took the contents away, and pretended to give it to Cheng Yin, I think he just recognized us and became the target of the public, and then he can really get the treasure in the 'stone box'." Cui Li became angry when he heard this.

"The broken stones on the ground are 'stone boxes'?" Lin Yun picked up a stone and observed it carefully.

"What's there to see, it's all empty anyway, that old man Wang can't be where to laugh with the baby!" Cui Li kicked a stone at his feet far away. "Lin Yun, you don't know, if it weren't for us, it would be impossible for Elder Wang to leave the palace, but he used an empty 'stone box' to trick us. It's really angry. ”

"You see, this 'stone box' is engraved with the !! of the 'Battle of the Three Generals'" Lin Yun said suddenly in shock, but I don't think so, if it weren't for these words on the back of the stone box, I would never have such a valuable 'stone box', of course, now I know that it is actually not so valuable.

"Humph!! This is clearly misleading us, and the 'battle of the three generals' has nothing to do with it at all. Cui Li said angrily.

Mislead? The battle of the three generals?

Suddenly my head hurt again, and it hurt so much. It felt like there was a force pulling me out of this plane.

"Focus, kid, don't be distracted while playing chess!"

My vision began to blur, and the voice of a middle-aged man kept repeating in my head.

After a while, I felt like I could open my eyes, and in front of me was the table-style chessboard, on which were scattered with black and white chess pieces---- Go.

By the bright light, I saw a middle-aged man sitting across from me, with a serious expression that didn't seem to smile, wearing a striped shirt and a mechanical watch in his right hand.

The familiar scene appeared in front of me again, and I knew it was no coincidence. It's a guide, and the answer I want is in this game.

The middle-aged man had never played chess, and the chess pieces were picked up in his hand and put back in the chess box.

Picked it up again...

Put it back again...

Over and over again until the pieces finally land on the board. The nervous look on his face suddenly relaxed.

"Kid, what are you thinking, remember that all you have in mind is the game right now." The man said suddenly, in a low and powerful voice.

I watched myself drop pieces on the board unhurriedly.

The middle-aged man was also very calm, he first dropped a sunspot behind the enemy's chess piece, and then both sides lifted the piece, and no one cared about the situation of the sunspot.

Suddenly, the middle-aged man's expression suddenly hesitated, and his eyes fell on the sunspot, but he quickly shifted his gaze, and the expression on his face returned to his usual calmness, although the middle-aged man's subtle expression changed only for a short moment, but it did not hide from the child's eyes, and suddenly the right hand came down, and I could clearly see that the expression on the middle-aged man's face had changed significantly.

"This hand is very decisive." The man regained his composure: "But sometimes it's not a wise choice to care too much about the gains and losses in front of you." The middle-aged man didn't care about the situation of the sunspot, but continued to expand his strength elsewhere. Instantaneously, black was empowered and quickly took the initiative throughout the game.

It seems that the middle-aged man deliberately left the black piece to mislead the child, suddenly I think this black chess is so familiar, my ears suddenly remembered the words of the middle-aged man--- sometimes too concerned about the immediate gains and losses is not a wise choice.

The game between the two is still very exciting, but I don't care about the trend of the game.

"Good." The man began to sort out the chessboard, "Although I was a little anxious at the beginning, I was very good at this hand, and then I played more and more calmly. ”

I knew I would soon be back to reality......

"Sure enough, three-and-a-half, you won. By the way, how many games have you won since you learned? ”

I didn't speak.

"Remember children, life is like chess, and strategizing can win a thousand miles!"

My head began to ache again, and I slowly opened my eyes, and Cui Li's appearance appeared in front of me, and I could see that his expression was more nervous than mine.

"How? Cheng Yin, is there any good way this time? "Cui Li no longer cares if my head still hurts.

I didn't answer Cui Li's question right away, but looked at the fragments of the 'stone box' on the ground in a daze. Suddenly, the middle-aged man's black chess piece appeared in front of my eyes.

Wait, if this 'stone box' is the same as the black piece that is used to mislead us, then maybe the real answer may not be what we think.

The puzzle in front of us suddenly became complicated again, and the answers we thought were all wrong. It's all wrong!!

"Cui Li, we were wrong!! We were all wrong!! I suddenly shouted.

"Cheng Yin, what are you talking about? Are we wrong? Cui Li still didn't understand what I was saying.

This is the strange array set up by Mr. Ouyang Yu, which is incomprehensible, originally thought that he was already on the edge of the labyrinth, but who knew that we were still in the most central position, we had not been there all along, just standing still. We are always waiting for the image to appear, waiting for the real self to appear in front of us. But we were all wrong! It's all wrong, and only the answers you're constantly looking for are the real answers.

"Cui Li, I have always had a mistake, that is, we have never doubted whether there really is a 'stone box'!!" I said, staring at the debris on the ground.
