Chapter 24: The Game
"Oh, my good disciple is going to marry a daughter-in-law, I'm very happy to be a teacher, come and tell me what kind of gift you want?" After Yi Xi returned to Meng Po's mansion, Meng Yao greeted him with a wicked smile and said.
Yi Xi was a little upset by King Qin Guang's words, and ignored Meng Yao's jokes. I thought that if it was really the evil ghost released by King Yama who hurt the lives of himself and his parents, would he and Bao Yu'er be happy even if they got married?
"Did Lord Qin Guang tell you something? What happened to King Yama?" Meng Yao saw Yi Xi's solemn face, and he didn't joke anymore, and asked Yi Xi softly.
Yi Xi nodded, Meng Yao patted Yi Xi's shoulder, and said in an enlightening tone: "Don't think about this, I heard the previous generation of Meng Po say that although the king of Yama let some ghosts who died unjustly return to the world, he will also send a pair of black and white impermanence to follow, otherwise the world would have been chaotic a long time ago." ”
Yi Xi thought about it, even if King Yama was too sympathetic, he shouldn't have made that kind of low-level mistake, could it be that King Qin Guang deliberately wanted to distort my vision?
Yi Xi glanced at Meng Yao, Meng Yao had already gone to bed and slept, Meng Yao had always been very good to herself, like her sister. Yi Xi smiled and whispered, "Thank you." ”
Yi Xi spent more than ten days very plainly, on this day, Yi Xi was helping to deliver Meng Po soup in Meng Po Pavilion, and saw a guest in the Ghost Judgment Hall from a distance, King Chujiang.
"I don't know that King Chujiang is coming, it's all Jiang's fault, and I hope to forgive my sins. King Qin Guang greeted, and King Chu Jiang smiled and said, "King Qin Guang is polite, how dare I punish your crimes." ”
"King Qin Guang is well governed, and the ghost gate is well organized. ”
"With King Chujiang living in the second hall behind me, which ghost dares to make a mistake?"
Both men laughed hypocritically, and then began a vicious cycle of touting each other.
"Okay, don't fake it, I'm here to meet the son-in-law of King Yama, let him come and meet me. King Chu Jiang broke this cycle and walked into the Ghost Judgment Hall and said to King Qin Guang. King Qin Guang called a one-horned ghost and said, "Let Yi Xi come here." ”
Then the two went to the back garden, and after a while, Yi Xi arrived, only to see King Qin Guang and King Chu Jiang sitting opposite each other, the two were playing Go, Yi Xi leaned over, saluted and asked, "Two adults, what do you call me?"
"Yi Xi is here, King Chujiang, let's talk about things first. King Qin Guang saw Yi Xi coming over and said to King Chu Jiang with a smile. King Chu Jiang nodded and said indifferently, "Can King Qin Guang please ask you to avoid it?" King Qin Guang smiled and left the back garden directly.
"Come, sit down, and accompany me to the next handful. King Chu Jiang let Yi Xi sit down, and then emptied the chessboard, and then Yi Xi didn't think too much, he sat down, and he only had a slight contact with Go, but in school, even the teacher couldn't play him, and he was still a little confident, but in the face of King Chu Jiang, should he play a gentleman's chess.
"My lord, I won't be able to get down, I'm ugly. Yi Xi arched his hand and said, it won't be too embarrassing to lose like this. King Chu Jiang snorted coldly and said, "If you lose, I will chop off your hand, anyway, if you lose one hand, you won't die." ”
Yi Xi's eyes were solemn, King Chu Jiang should not be the kind of person who jokes casually, but would he provoke King Yama for this move, after all, he is also the son-in-law of King Yama, or is he actually trying to pass the test of King Yama, will he lose a big loss because of a small one. Yi Xi decided to do his best, and he would win a son!
"Let's go, I'll go first. King Chu Jiang said, and then a black seed fell, Yi Xi followed by a white son, the two of you come and go, from noon to afternoon, King Chu Jiang's palms are a little sweaty, at present, Yi Xi is a son before him, and he has always been a son before him, is it a coincidence?
"Your Excellency has arrived, are you still down?" Yi Xi reminded in a low voice. King Chu Jiang nodded, and another son fell.
Yi Xi had already guessed the chess routine of King Chu Jiang, and he was not sure that he would not make a move, but he was completely different, he took the path of killing 10,000 enemies and losing 8,000 by himself.
"Aren't you two tired?" At this time, King Qin Guang walked to the back garden, saw that the two were still playing chess, walked over and asked, and then glanced at the chess game by the way, and smiled with some surprise: "Haha, the handsome King Chu Jiang was actually lagged behind by others, it is a strange story through the ages." ”
"You're annoyed, are you ready for the food and drinks, I'm staying here today. King Chu Jiang said with an irritated expression. King Qin Guang smiled and said, "Let's go and prepare, okay, I'll call you." Then he went down and got ready.
After eating, the two continued to start the game, and accidentally went down in the evening, Yi Xi was still ahead of the king of Chu Jiang, and the king of Chu Jiang was still in a good state of mind and did not get angry.
"Lord Chu Jiang, do you want to stay tonight?" asked King Qin Guang when he walked over again.
"Stay!" King Chu Jiang's eyes never left the chessboard for a moment, and Yi Xi couldn't support it anymore, but King Chu Jiang was indeed a good opponent, and with his status, it was impossible for King Chu Jiang to admit defeat.
On the third day, the chess game was still burning, and King Qin Guang came again, and asked tirelessly, "King Chujiang ...... tonight?"
"I won't leave if I'm done!" King Chu Jiang said angrily. King Qin Guang spread his hands helplessly, turned around and walked out of the back garden.
Yi Xi still doesn't care, after all, this game of chess is very important, to make King Chu Jiang recognize himself, and to make him happy.
There are still ten days before Yi Xi and Bao Yu'er, but Yi Xi is still playing chess with King Chujiang, and after another seven days, Yi Xi feels that it is almost over, and if he continues, it will be too late to go to the Yama Palace to complete the marriage.
"Are you sure you're here?" asked King Chu Jiang. Yi Xi nodded confidently and said, "Lord Chu Jiang, you lost." Yi Xi gently picked out the sunspots on the chessboard that were surrounded by white seeds, and then let out a sigh of relief, pretending to be very tired.
King Chu Jiang sneered and said: "You are very good, you have been with me for ten days and ten nights, but ......" King Chu Jiang fell again, Yi Xi opened his eyes wide, and looked at King Chu Jiang's last move in disbelief, King Chu Jiang picked out the white son that was eaten, just better than Yi Xi's son.
"How is this possible!" Yi Xi got up very cooperatively and said, King Chu Jiang also got up, and said with a smile: "You are very smart, but you lack patience, come with me, you will get married in three days, I will send you to the Yama Hall first." ”
"Thank you, Lord Chu Jiang. Yi Xi bowed. Looking at the smug King Chu Jiang walking out of the back garden, he was a little worried, he could see clearly from the chessboard the level of a person's wisdom, King Chu Jiang deserved to be the first handsome talent in the Ten Palaces, I hope he will not be an enemy of himself in the future, otherwise he will have a headache.
"Yo, is King Chu Jiang still staying tonight?" King Qin Guang happened to meet King Chu Jiang, so he asked the same question again, King Chu Jiang shook his head, and then shouted at King Qin Guang: "I will never live here again!"
