The courtyard is quiet and empty.

The sycamore trees planted in the courtyard are luxuriant, leaving a shaded area within a radius of a few feet.

Under the tree is a round table, surrounded by several low mounds. A masked man in a wide robe is playing against himself on a chessboard. Today is a beautiful day.

The man sat there clearly and uprightly, but it made Mu Yu feel an inexplicable sense of loneliness, perhaps because of the rendering of this scene.

"Lord of the Building, I brought you the person you wanted." Chang Mowu landed on one knee and said respectfully to the man.

When the masked man heard this, he picked up a chess piece and fell, just at this moment, the chess piece landed exactly where it should have landed, the wide lips under the man's mask rose slightly, and his voice was full of majesty: "You go down first, let me have a good talk with this girl." ”

"Yes." Chang Mowu clenched his fists and left.

Leaving Mu Yu alone and standing there a little dazed, quietly observing the masked man, listening to him, he seemed to be in the prime of life. I saw the masked man turn sideways, put one hand on his thigh, and the other arm propped up the table, and a pair of eyes as sharp as goshawks looked at Mu Yu quietly through the dark golden mask on his face.

After waiting for a long time, when Mu Yu had already wandered out of the world, the man said coldly: "Mu Yu? He chewed it slowly and methodically, and laughed: "You shouldn't be the wooden fish beaten by the monks in the temple, right?" ”

"......" The corners of Mu Yu's mouth twitched, but he didn't expect the landlord to look very mysterious and cold, and as soon as he opened his mouth, Mu Yu tilted his head and looked at him suspiciously.

This is not a routine at all!

"Lord Huilou, the name of the disciple means that the tree is a forest alone, and the flaws are not concealed, not the wooden fish knocked by the monks in the temple."

"I think the wooden fish knocked by the monk is also good, the monks in the temple beat the wooden fish in the morning and evening, chanting the scriptures and visiting the Buddha, the purpose is also to keep themselves awake at all times, don't be disturbed by the worldly thoughts, you say that the role of the wooden fish is not very great?"

“...... Also, the landlord is right. ”

The masked man laughed at himself: "Hehehe...... The name is just a foreign object, no matter if it is not entangled, it is not entangled, it is not brought by life, and it is not taken away by death, not to mention, once the body is destroyed, our spirit will also disappear, and those so-called consciousnesses and souls will all dissipate and never appear again, and the existence of you and me is accidental. His tone was full of loneliness and desolation, as if he had seen through all the ups and downs of life and death, prosperity and decline.

When Mu Yu heard this, she felt a sense of sadness, powerlessness and despair from the inside out, and even breathing made her feel laborious and luxurious.

Her mind tightened, her face tensed, and said: "Lord Lou, I think it, although people will eventually die, but some people die well, for a hundred years, but some people die in obscurity, worthless, and even stink for thousands of years, only try our best to live, work hard to give full play to our own abilities and talents, and make some achievements, so that the people of the present world and even future generations remember us and praise us, that is to prove the value of our existence with actions." ”

The masked man pondered for a long time and said, "You're right, this is what ordinary people think, but there are even better. ”

"Is there anything more valuable than making an achievement that the people praise?"

"Absolutely. Ordinary people in the world always want to achieve fame and fame, but there is another kind of people, they do not seek fame and fortune but have done great deeds. ”

"You're talking about ......"

"They are transcendent and virtuous, and are not bound by mortal dust, though they are alive and dead." The masked man stood up and paced slowly.

Mu Yu clenched his fists: "The disciple is taught." ”

The warm breeze is rising, the leaves of the sycamore trees in the courtyard are swaying with the wind, and the greenery of the courtyard is fresh and pleasant.

Although these leaves cannot survive forever, the passage of time will send them into the cycle of birth and death, and they will also exist in different ways and carriers.

Time does not stand still because of the death of a living being, it dominates the death and growth of all life, washes away all obstacles and deceptive dirt, and presents the truth or absurdity in front of everyone. Time is fair, but it is also cruel, and it does not tolerate deception.

The doubts of the centuries have been left behind for thousands of years, which are all witnesses given by time.

"Miss Mu Yu, you have to listen to the task I will give you next, I will not repeat it a second time, I hope you can do it well with your ability!"

"Your Excellency, please speak."
