Chapter 80: A Game of Chess in a Hundred Years of Life

(Floating life is like a dream, and a thought is only in a moment.) The heroes are everywhere, and only fragments of history books are left for thousands of years. The willow eyebrows and red lips are as beautiful as jade, and the boy in green clothes and thin shirts is like an orchid - someone sings for nine days in troubled times. Now that the smoke has reappeared in troubled times, the storyteller sipped tea and talked about it: looking at the smoke of the beacon, they all sighed at the fate of this life. )

Men with lofty ideals cherish the short days, and people are sad to know that the nights are long.

The wizard told Su Qin when he was seven years old, 'If you don't eat enough, you won't give up your work.' (Note 1) At that time, Su Qin didn't understand the meaning of this sentence, and asked the wizard, who shook his head and sighed lightly and explained, "Time is like an arrow, time is like a shuttle, this life is just a game of chess in a hundred years, the victory or defeat of the black and white twins is not in the will of heaven, it all depends on the person who throws the son, you will understand it in the future, don't waste time." ”

Although Su Qin, who was ignorant at the time, nodded although he didn't understand, from childhood to adulthood, the wizard has always been very strict with Su Qin, and used all kinds of inhumane methods to 'torture' Su Qin, just like in the summer, the wizard asked Su Qin to stand under the waterfall and hit Su Qin's body with the snow water that poured down, and when winter came, the wizard would let Su Qin stand on the cold snow only wearing a thin shirt - in order not to freeze to death, Su Qin had to exercise desperately, because in this way his body would warm up and not be frozen to death.

The most impressive time in Su Qin's memory was that the wizard let himself cut down a big tree that two people were hugging together, and then the wizard cut off the trunk, and found a trunk that was a few inches longer than Su Qin's head to hollow out the middle, not hollow, just digging a gap the size of a person's body, after doing all this, the wizard asked Su Qin to take off only a piece of underwear to get into, and after Su Qin got into the trunk, the wizard put the big tree in a pit prepared in advance, and the pit was just enough to fit into the big tree, and Su Qin in the trunk was buried in the pit by the sorcerer with his feet down and his head up。

Through a fist-sized gap above his head, Su Qin knew that the top of his head was at least four inches away from the cutting surface of the tree trunk, and at least a foot from the ground, he didn't know what the wizard was doing this for, and when he saw that he couldn't see the wizard's face, he called the wizard, but the wizard didn't say anything, just took some branches and put them on the dirt pit.

This is the most difficult time for Su Qin, it is dark all around, it is impossible for his body to turn around in the trunk, only some thin air comes from the top of his head, less than half a cup of tea, Su Qin feels that his chest is full of breath, he wants to wipe the sweat beads on his forehead, he wants to bend over, he wants to lie down, he even uses his fingers to hollow out the few inches of tree trunks above his head!

"You imagine what you'd do when you woke up and were sealed in a coffin. When Su Qin felt that he was about to go crazy, he heard the wizard's voice, "The space of the coffin is larger than this, but there is no air, this trunk space is small, but there is air, although it is thin." Speaking of this, the wizard paused, "Remember, keep your heart, I will come to see you in three days, I hope that you will not be suffocated or crazy by then, otherwise, in such an environment, if your will is not strong enough, you will tear your skin piece by piece with your fingers." ”

After listening to the wizard's words, the first thought in Su Qin's heart was whether the wizard wanted to harm himself, but there were many ways to kill people, and there was no need for a wizard to go through such a big effort.

Su Qin, who calmed down, did not curse the wizard, he remembered what the wizards had done to him in the past, and knew that this might be another test for the wizard.

Alive.

This is a word that pops up in Su Qin's mind.

There was no water, no food, and even the body could not move...... Su Qin slowly closed his eyes, fantasizing that he was lying on the bed, fantasizing about the birdsong in his ears, and fantasizing about the sunlight quietly sprinkling on his body, slowly, Su Qin's breathing stabilized......

"What happened later?" Qi Luoge couldn't help but interrupt Su Qin's words when he heard this.

Time always slips away from between his fingers unconsciously, Su Qin, Qi Luoge, Bai Qi and others have come to Guangqi City in a blink of an eye It has been almost a month, Su Qin's life is very regular in this month, he goes to bed on time and gets up on time, after getting up in the morning, Su Qin first sits on the bed to regulate his internal breath, this is a habit he developed many years ago, the wizard taught Su Qin a set of exercises when he taught him to read and write, the name wizard didn't say, just said don't let others know that you practice secretly, and added a sentence When do you feel that there is a surging air flow in the seven seas, I will tell you how to do it, but Su Qin has practiced for more than ten years, he still didn't feel the slightest fluctuation of air flow in his body.

After getting up in the morning, Su Qin adjusted his internal breath according to the method he had learned in the exercises in the past, and then got out of bed and went to the study to read, there are many books in Meng's mansion, such as surgery, etiquette, etc., and there are also some books about Qimen Dunjia and the like, although this kind of strange books are all about fur, but Su Qin still reads it with relish, he is very envious of the book that says that the Qimen Dacheng has the ability to move mountains and reclaim land into inches, in addition, there are many military books in the study, Su Qin has recently read these books again, a "Liutao" and a "Wei Yu" (Note 2) Su Qin has been watching for nearly half a month, whether it is the Eight Formations, Dibao, or the military situation, and Su Qin has an understanding, and begins to understand that marching and fighting is not just about the two armies charging, just like the strategy of employing people, the strategy of using soldiers, and the war tactics, environment, weapons and formations in Leopard Tao and Tiger Tao, etc., Su Qin felt that he benefited a lot from this period of injury in Mengfu.

Before coming to the bookshelf, Su Qin wanted to find out the "Wei Yu" he read yesterday and then look down, but at a glance, he found that the book in the study had been touched - after Su Qin finished reading "Wei Yu" last night, he put it in a conspicuous position in the middle of the bookshelf, but this morning the book was not found, Su Qin's eyes searched the bookshelf, but still did not find "Wei Yu", knowing that "Wei Yu" was probably taken by whom, who would it be? Su Qin thought in his heart and picked up a book called "Walking on the Sword" When I read the book, I couldn't calm down anymore.

The records in "Treading the Sword Xing" are all legends, but it gives a detailed interpretation of the famous ancient swords that have appeared from ancient times to the present, this is not a surprise to Su Qin, after all, when Su Qin was in the mountains, he heard the wizard talk about those divine weapons, but the name of a person was mentioned in the book, the name Su Qin is not unfamiliar, called Mo Li, although there are only a few words, but it has shocked Su Qin enough, Mo Li is the nominal disciple of the Sword Sect?

Sword Sect, Qi Sect, Buddhism, Taoism, as well as the Heavenly Punishment Sword and Wood Spirit Beads, who is the strongest person on this continent? Su Qin couldn't figure out the slightest clue in his heart.

With these questions, Su Qin ate quickly when he ate, he wanted to go to the study again to find the records of the Sword Sect, he had seen Meng Kuang, the city lord of Seven Crystal City, make a move, Meng Kuang was a master of Qi control, and it was rumored that only the Sword Sect could be compared with the people of the Qi Sect, but the Sword Sect seemed to have no heirs, and Mo Li turned out to be a person from the Sword Sect? Although he was a nominal disciple, Mo Li should know some things about the Sword Sect, but Mo Li was dead, who could he ask?

Just when Su Qin walked towards the study with these questions, he saw a familiar figure, it was Qi Luoge, Su Qin was a little surprised, because Qi Luoge did not live in the Meng Mansion during this period of time, he hadn't seen Qi Luoge for a while, I didn't know what she had been doing recently, looking at Qi Luoge who was walking towards him, Su Qin saw the "Wei Yu" she was holding in her hand, Su Qin guessed that Qi Luoge was estimated to be back last night.

"I heard Lang Zhong say that your body is almost fine?" Qi Luoge looked at Su Qin, who was not on crutches, with some shock and a hint of doubt on his face, Su Qin's physique is so good, and he healed in less than a month after being so seriously injured?

"The flesh wounds have all healed, and as for Childe's broken ribs, if they don't suffer any more serious injuries, it's no big deal. Bai Qi, who followed Su Qin, looked at the doubts on Qi Luoge's face, and repeated what the Lang Zhong that Qian Duoduo was looking for.

"What is the reason for this?" Coming to the study, Qi Luoge asked Su Qin, "What elixir have you taken or what exercises have you practiced?"

So Su Qin told about being constantly tested by wizards when he was a child, and when he heard Su Qin say that he was still in the heart of the tree for three days, Qi Luoge grew his mouth in surprise, if the wizard let Su Qin be hit by the waterfall in order to increase the body's ability to resist pressure, and was placed in such an environment...... If ordinary people had died a long time ago, of course Su Qin hadn't died, otherwise she wouldn't be standing in front of her now, so she was anxious to ask Su Qin what happened later.

"That's it, I was hungry for three days, and I was almost fainting from hunger when I was carried out of the trunk by the wizard. Su Qin said lightly, but Qi Luoge didn't think so, locking a person in an empty dark room, a slightly weak mind is estimated to go crazy in a few days, not to mention that it is still such a small space, not to mention anything else, what if Su Qin wants to be convenient? But Qi Luoge couldn't ask this, she saw that Su Qin didn't want to dwell on this issue, so she didn't say anything, this time she went back to Mengfu because she had something to ask Su Qin, but she didn't know how to speak for a while.

Su Qin didn't pay attention to Qi Luoge's expression, he also had a lot of questions to ask Qi Luoge in his heart at the moment, his eyes fell on the book "Treading the Sword", Su Qin thought about the language and thought of the wording, but just as he was about to start the topic, there was a knock on the door outside.

"Oh no, something big is going to happen to Guangqi City. Qian Duoduo saw Su Qin open the door, wiped the fine sweat on his forehead and said. He has been staying in Guangqi City these days, and even Qi Luoge doesn't know why Aunt Sun didn't call him back.

"What's wrong?" Qi Luoge frowned.

"Lu Tianyu sent troops to surround the City Lord's Mansion, and the reason is said to be that Li Haoran secretly hid the members of the Dark Fragrance Squad. ”

Hearing these four words, although the expression on Su Qin's face did not change much, it set off waves in his heart, not because the four words of the dark incense team represent disobedience, but because Su Qin clearly knew at the moment that the so-called members of the dark incense team who were traitorous and traitorous in the eyes of outsiders were originally a family with him.

"This is not a big deal, Lu Tianyu has long seen Li Haoran unpleasantly, and now surrounding the City Lord's Mansion is just a power struggle, rest assured, Li Haoran will be fine, Lu Tianyu is not stupid enough to force Li Haoran to jump over the wall, it is estimated that he just wants to embarrass Li Haoran. Qi Luoge has secretly found a lot of things these days, and after thinking about it for a while, he analyzed.

"The question is...... Lu Tianyu also sent troops to surround the Hanging Temple. Qian Duoduo said and turned his head to look out the window, as if Guangqi City was about to change the sky, "And I heard that the National Teacher is also on his way to Guangqi City." ”
