Chapter 8 The Sublimation of the State of Mind
The breeze blew, bringing bursts of coolness, Chen Chun sat quietly on the grass, the scorching sun was covered with dark clouds, and there were bursts of thunder from time to time. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
The originally lush green grassland became devastated because of Xiaobai and Chen Chun, and it would take half a year to regrow, which shows the fierceness of the battle.
As the thunder continued to resound, drops of rain fell from the sky, Chen Chun's eyes were blank, the rain kept beating on his face, and his clothes were soaked by the rain, looking embarrassed.
Chen Chun kept having scenes of fighting with Xiaobai in his mind, although he passed Xiaobai's exam, but Chen Chun didn't feel good in his heart, even if he burst out with more powerful strength than usual, but even Xiaobai's move was difficult to stop, Xiaobai's powerful Chen Chun could only be far-sighted, beyond people's reach.
At this time, Chen Chun's eyes were dark, and when he opened his eyes, an ancient old man appeared in front of him, he sat quietly in front of Chen Chun, and a chessboard suddenly appeared in the middle, only to see a black chess piece between the old man's fingers, and his wrinkled face showed a smile.
"Old Ancestor!"
Chen Chun is naturally very familiar with the old man in front of him, and Chen Chun still doesn't know the authenticity of that dream, but the old man gives him the feeling of being a real living person, not a fictional illusion.
As soon as the old man's hand fell, the black pieces fell into the encirclement of the white pieces, no matter how you look at it, it looks like a dead game, and the old man is obviously at a disadvantage.
Chen Chun couldn't help but wonder: "Old ancestor, what are you doing?" ”
"Play chess."
"Why?"
"How about playing a game of chess with the old man?"
Chen Chun's body moved unconsciously, landed on the seat, and involuntarily picked up a white flag with his fingers, although he was extremely surprised in his heart, he had already sat down, what reason was there to refuse to play.
On the chessboard, the white flag is mostly in the upper hand. Black is in the minority and is at a disadvantage. The white flag is straight and black is sandwiched between the two sides, and it can be seen that black is in a serious situation.
Although Chen Chun didn't understand what the old ancestor was going to do, his hand moved involuntarily, and as soon as Chen Chun's hand fell, he immediately surrounded the black chess that the old man had just played, and the black chess suddenly disappeared on the chessboard.
The old man did not have any emotional fluctuations, a black chess piece fell into the encirclement of the white flag along the old man's two fingers, and the black chess piece was like a sheep entering the wolf's mouth, and he would definitely die.
Chen Chun was very puzzled by the old man's method, which clearly meant that he was going to lose everything, and couldn't help asking: "Old ancestor, you will lose if you do this." ”
The old man shook his head and said, "Everyone is like chess, ever-changing, and the chessboard is the same, and the people who play chess are ......."
The old man stopped without finishing speaking, squinting his eyes, waiting for Chen Chun's next step.
Before the old man finished speaking, Chen Chun felt very uncomfortable, but it was inevitable that the old man would lose all the games, so it didn't matter where the next chess piece landed.
As time went on, the game came to an end, with white surrounding most of the black pieces, and outside the encirclement, black had a strange layout and looked very messy.
Chen Chun smiled: "Old ancestor, you're going to lose." ”
The old man replied, "Not necessarily. ”
When the words fell, I saw that on the chessboard, the positions of the black pieces changed one after another, and the form suddenly reversed, surrounding the white pieces, and the whole process did not exceed three seconds, and it was completed almost instantly.
Chen Chun couldn't close his mouth in surprise, and said angrily: "Old ancestor, you are cheating!" ”
The old man raised his hand and waved, and the chessboard suddenly disappeared, Chen Chun only felt that his eyes were dazzled, and the surroundings became very dim, and a faint firelight could only reflect the faces of the two people.
The old man closed his eyes and said slowly: "I'm not cheating, I said that everyone is like chess, ever-changing, and the chessboard is the same, and the person who plays chess just decides the fate of each chess piece, how can there be any fraud?" ”
"Qubble, it's a kid to lie to you so old."
The old man shook his head, his fingers fell to the place of the firelight, his fingertips pointed upward, and said: "The chessboard is compared to this dim sky, and we are chess pieces, and the chess player is called fate, will you change with fate?" ”
"No!"
The old man smiled slightly: "That's not the end, I'm just not going with fate, how can I talk about cheating?" ”
Chen Chun's heartstrings moved, the lock in his heart was opened, and a ray of light appeared in the originally dim sky, and the sky became clear, Chen Chun felt that the place he was stepping on was extremely gentle, and when he looked down, he found that he was stepping on the grass, and the temperature of the sun shining on his face was extremely real.
"Old Ancestor!" Chen Chun turned his head and found that the old man was no longer there, dissipating like air, without a trace, only in Chen Chun's mind.
Chen Chun suddenly raised his head and laughed loudly, and the laughter spread beyond the woods, echoing throughout the silent woods.
"Ancestor, thank you!"
Chen Chun originally wanted to feel the wonder of the recovery of all things after the rain to the flowers and plants, but his clothes were soaked by the rain, although Chen Chun could fight against evil things, but he was still a human being, so he had to go back to the dormitory early to take a hot shower to avoid catching a cold.
Time passed, and when night fell, Chen Chun pulled a chair and sat alone outside the sun watching the night sky, while waiting for Xiaobai's arrival.
Half an hour passed, and just as Chen Chun was about to sneeze, a shadow was reflected on the ground, and the sound of bones breaking came into Chen Chun's ears.
Chen Chun looked up and saw Xiaobai standing in front of Chen Chun, with a bone in his mouth, which made Chen Chun can't help but think of the last time Xiaobai appeared like this, and he couldn't help but want to laugh, but after thinking about Xiaobai's methods, he could only hold back.
Chen Chun pretended to be calm and asked Xiaobai: "Xiaobai, why do you eat bones again, don't you like fish?" ”
Xiaobai opened his mouth wide, swallowed only half of the bone in one gulp, and did not forget to lick his lips with his tongue.
"No way, I just feel a little tired of catching fish, and I found this bone directly from the cauldron of a shop outside, but what I didn't expect is that there are still some spiritual power fluctuations in the bones, and it's a waste not to eat it."
Chen Chunbai glanced at Xiaobai and said seriously: "Xiaobai, can you tell me what you are going to face?" ”
Xiaobai nodded, then jumped on Chen Chun's head, and patted the back of his head lightly, Chen Chun suddenly stood down from the chair, and in an instant, sweat was pouring out, looking very embarrassed.
Chen Chun gasped, and then said angrily: "Xiaobai, what did you do? ”
Xiaobai explained: "Before, your strength was too weak, and the master-servant contract was not used, so you couldn't share your memories directly, but now you can, close your eyes and explore my memories." “
Chen Chunshun Xiaobai said, closed his eyes, explored the memory in his mind, a vague scene appeared in his mind, Chen Chun could vaguely see that this is a village, "Liuke Village" three-character plaque attracted attention.
Xiaobai transmits the memory as far as the eye can see, Chen Chun also went to Liuke Village when he was a child, the Liuke Village at that time was no different from now, nothing has changed, the tiled houses all over the village seem to be very poor and backward, because it is late at night, the silence is dim, the scene moves quickly, and comes to a field with lush flowers and plants, because no one has built it, the messy grass has grown to knee-length length.
The grass is round, there is an ancient well in the middle, Xiaobai came to the side of the ancient well, only to see a burst of sound from the stone cover, Chen Chunxin couldn't help but raise his throat, only to see the manhole cover was suddenly lifted, and a black shadow jumped out.
The black shadow was revealed under the night sky, dressed in rags, with a hideous face, skinny and festering, and the two of them sounded in Chen Chun's heart.
"Zombies!"
I saw that the deep gaze of the zombie fell on Xiaobai, and rushed towards Xiaobai, Xiaobai was not ordinary, a dodge to dodge the past, Xiaobai's ghost-like figure kept moving, jumping to the tree in the distance, looking into the distance.
The prey escaped, the zombie roared, the lights came on in a room next to the meadow, and a middle-aged man walked out, because it was dark around, the man walked towards the source of the sound with a flashlight.
The flashlight shone on the ancient well, just in front of the zombie's face, the man was startled, the flashlight fell to the ground, and he just wanted to turn around and escape, but it was too late, the zombie's powerful jumping force jumped behind the man at once, grabbed the man, and opened to bite the man's neck.
The man didn't even shout, he died directly at the hands of the zombie, and the zombie was like a hungry jackal, eating the flesh and blood on the man's body, and the scene was very bloody.
The memory ended here, Chen Chun opened his eyes, his eyes were full of fear, and he sat on the chair blankly.
Xiaobai smiled slightly: "How is it?" ”
Chen Chun gasped and said angrily: "Xiaobai, why didn't you go to save people?" ”
Xiaobai disagreed, shook his head and said: "This is a hundred-year-old zombie, I can naturally deal with it, but it will cost a lot of money, especially now that my strength has not recovered, why would I waste my strength for someone I don't know?" ”
Chen Chun suddenly stood up, knocked over the chair, and said angrily: "It's just a waste of strength, why!" ”
Xiao Bai frowned and said, "Now I can still stand in front of you and talk because a drop of your essence blood has not dissipated in my body, if I use the only remaining strength, it will accelerate the loss of essence and blood energy, and then I will disappear forever." ”
Chen Chun snorted coldly and replied, "Then I'll give you the essence blood to restore your strength." ”
Xiao Bai shook his head again and said, "Your strength is too weak, even if you drain the essence blood of your body, it will not be enough for me to recover one-third of my strength." ”
A heavy blow hit Chen Chun's heart, the spiritual power on Chen Chun's body skyrocketed, and the spiritual power was placed outside, at this moment, a cold spiritual power impacted, and the scorching heat suddenly turned into cold, Chen Chun's body couldn't help shaking, and he sat on the ground.
Chen Chun stroked his hair with both hands, sighed, and said, "Xiaobai, thank you for calming me down." ”
Xiaobai nodded disapprovingly, and then said: "According to the usual words, go straight away, something must have happened to you after that night, but that's your business, I don't ask." ”
Chen Chun's back appeared in his mind again, so he had to nod, the old man had already helped Chen Chun twice, although the old man was both true and false, but the gratitude flowed in his heart and could not be dispersed.
Xiaobai smiled meaningfully and said, "Are you still sure you want to go?" ”
Chen Chun's eyes were resolute, and he nodded and replied: "I have to go to both public and private, and then surpass you!" ”
Xiaobai smiled: "Set off on Saturday the day after tomorrow, get everything ready, and wait for you." ”
The words fell, Xiao Bai jumped back and disappeared on the balcony, at this time a sound came from the back door, Chen Chun turned his head to see that there was nothing strange about anyone.
After speaking, Chen Chun returned to the room, and after leaving, a figure walked out of the toilet......
