Bang!

The whole cave began to shake violently.

This cave is not as bright as words, but it still reveals a dim blue light, and the white stars are roaming freely in it, and there are two people sitting on the stone platform here, quiet, overwhelming here, lonely and terrifying.

The two of them are old men, with gray hair, but they can't see the old man's downturn at all, probably because of the relationship between the cultivation, the spiritual qi of the two people is visible to the naked eye, because their backs are straight and straight, and the shoulders are also loose, and a huge stone chessboard is presented squarely in the middle of them, knocking on the chess pieces, even a snap makes the empty place here also have the sound of the world.

Don't say lonely and lonely earlier, this chess game is like this, quiet, even if you wait for a long time, hold back a good move, and make a big god board, you are also happy.

But, apparently, one side is a little more patient, scratching his head.

"You old fellow!" Holding a black chess piece in his hand, he sat slightly tilted, glanced at the old man who was leisurely fanning the fan opposite, he smashed the black chess piece on the chessboard in a bit of anger, pouted and said, "There is such a big movement outside!" You want me to play chess here?! ”

"Tomorrow and autumn...... Your move...... ......The old man on the opposite side shook his fan lightly on his chest, and took out the white chess pieces from the chessboard with some disgust, and carefully looked at the situation on the chessboard.

Black and white intersect, nine turns and folds, it is difficult to give up, the black chess piece was smashed in the position of the opening, it can be seen that he wants to end it early, and even has taken the initiative to give up, but it is not easy to say, it is just a flaw that is sold very casually.

This old man is wearing a green coat and white sleeves, and the clouds and cranes are flying on it, so leisurely and elegant.

He has a very small white beard, and the wind of the fan blows his temples gently, if it weren't for his age, such a smooth face would be a handsome man.

"Aoyama...... You wouldn't know something big was going to happen today, would you? And invite me to play chess...... It's not sinister...... You'll have to punish yourself with three cups! Don't cheat! Tan Mingqiu looked at him and couldn't wait to pick up the black chess pieces, as if he had already figured out where to go.

Anyway, it's a loss...... It doesn't matter where you go......

"When the time comes...... Let's talk about ......" Xiao Qingshan put the white chess pieces in the palm of his hand, his eyes carefully observed on the chessboard, and he didn't make a move, just watched.

"You step! It's a stinky ......."

Xiao Qingshan was still angry, and even a little annoyed.

"Stinky chess...... There is a stinky way to move chess...... Tan Mingqiu leaned sideways and placed the chess pieces next to the stone plate: "I have always been like this...... You know...... When I play chess with you, I always lose more and win less, and I don't play any strange tricks with you...... Stupid and panicked......"

"Uh-huh...... Then you shouldn't just open the gates...... Let my soldiers go in...... This is not an empty city strategy, in chess, there are more soldiers and fewer soldiers, but the side with more soldiers will win......" Xiao Qingshan grabbed Tan Mingqiu's chess mistake and didn't let go, as if Tan Mingqiu's careful thinking had already been understood, the white chess pieces held in the palm and index finger were just delayed......

"This is also something that can't be helped, if one soldier can kill him seven in and seven out, why do you want to fight? I must have surrendered straight away...... Who cares about more soldiers and fewer soldiers......" Tan Mingqiu scratched his head with his little thumb again, and simply stopped looking at the chessboard, looked at the tea on the side, took the teacup, knocked the tea bowl and the lid of the cup, and blew air into it to make the water not so hot.

This space is so silent, as if their random movement can be earth-shattering.

"Okay...... The dignified Bailing Mountain Grand Administrator...... I even thought about surrendering to a strong enemy for the first time...... If this is reported to the saint, the five horses should not have to run......" Xiao Qingshan compared the white chess pieces on the chessboard, moved it gently, touched his index finger, and gently took it back, it was difficult to go down.

The feather fan shook slightly, frowning and bowing his head.

"If there really is such a character who is seven in and seven out, not a friendly army, he can't be persuaded to surrender, he can only be an enemy, then it doesn't matter if he kills tens of thousands, if he can't be killed, I will definitely not let my men go to death one by one, or they will be ruined, and they will not ......be compromised" Tan Mingqiu chuckled, looking at Xiao Qingshan, who was tangled, and didn't care so much about the word saint.

He cleared his throat and said, "I'm so old...... To be dead is to be dead, it must not matter...... The two of us, our wives and children have already gone, and we don't have any worries in this world, death is death, but it's still the children of the younger generation who are suffering......"

"That's why you're back in charge of the Sycamore Division? I remember...... Haven't you gone into hiding? Xiao Qingshan went around and around, but still played the white chess next to the black chess.

"Retreat...... Well...... How so? I was angry with the little girl on Bailing Mountain...... Otherwise...... I'm really going to grow my tea...... Where can I be here for seven years......" Tan Mingqiu grabbed the black chess, and played another place, very casually.

"Huh! How did you mess up! Look where I've gone! Xiao Qingshan took the black chess piece and put it aside.

He only stared at the chess, not at Tan Mingqiu's reaction.

"You definitely have something to hide from me today......" Tan Mingqiu picked up a black chess piece again, and now, he looked at Xiao Qingshan, who was a little anxious, with a relaxed look, and also laughed evilly, and quickly found a position, and sent the black chess piece in the place where black and white were handed over.

"You ......" Xiao Qingshan was helpless at this moment...... He could only shake it lightly and said, "Hey...... Is...... Play chess well...... It doesn't matter...... Even if I have something to do, if I don't say it, I naturally don't think it's important...... Good chess is gone...... What a pity......"

"Tell me, what are you hiding from me? Outside...... What's really going on now? Tan Mingqiu quickly grabbed a black chess piece, as if the black chess piece was about to fall on the stone plate soon.

"If there's a big deal...... Where would I play chess with you so leisurely? You still can't trust me? Xiao Qingshan touched his beard and took out the white chess pieces.

Thinking about it, I stopped for a while.

"No, no, no...... If it had been before, I would have listened to you...... But now for so many years...... I can't understand you anymore...... It's better to keep my doubts......" Tan Mingqiu gently tapped the stone plate with his chess pieces, making a small clattering sound.

And just a small sound like this is enough to resound throughout the place.

"What about chess...... If you have other things on your mind...... It's really stinky and rotten......" Xiao Qingshan was still talking about chess, putting the white chess pieces in front of him, but he couldn't go down.

"You're ...... this time You should really believe me for once...... When I say it's okay, it's okay...... No matter how big the movement is, it's fine, even if the sky falls, it's fine...... There is no need to worry......" Xiao Qingshan shook the fan, the feathers swayed gently, the breeze was blowing, he still lowered his head, looking at the two bad chess pieces, full of flaws, as if waiting to be eaten, put them there...... It really makes the heart muscle infarction of those who know chess.

"That's obvious, it's a big deal......" Tan Mingqiu followed Xiao Qingshan's words, and then stared at Xiao Qingshan carefully, seeing that he was not in a hurry at all, he naturally chuckled: "Qingshan...... You also know that you have something on your mind...... Why do you say that I have something in my heart? ”

"Yes?" Xiao Qingshan frowned and placed the white chess pieces next to the two black chess pieces.

"Huh...... It's all old...... Pretending to be like a stunned blue...... It's really a vain life......" Tan Mingqiu put the black chess piece down at the opening without hesitation.

Xiao Qingshan snorted, leaned back with a hideous face, and looked at the four chess pieces with some unbearable eyes......

"I didn't lie to you...... There really isn't anything big going on...... I tell you so, and you should understand it too...... There must be no need to lie to you......" Xiao Qingshan didn't go to take the white chess pieces again, but raised his head to look at Tan Mingqiu who was smiling evilly, and said indifferently: "If you really want to talk about something, there is something to hide from you...... That's ...... I just stole a box of Erhai from you in the study...... I put it on my nightstand......"

"Oh, the prime minister...... would do such a thing of stealing chickens and dogs...... If it is known by the Holy One...... It must be impossible to escape the punishment of beheading...... After all...... It's too embarrassing......" Tan Mingqiu looked at Xiao Qingshan with disgust, and took a sip of tea with some comfort: "You want tea...... I'll give it to you...... Why steal? I've been in Bailing Mountain all day...... How much Erhai tea do you want, how much Erhai tea...... You're just going to ...... I guess I can take it to the court for you to drink...... I'll just plant it again......"

"No......" Xiao Qingshan shook his head, and the feather fan also shook, the wind blew his beard, but the beard was obviously not as light as the temples, only moved slightly twice, and then it was stiff and straight.

"What's wrong?" Tan Mingqiu also touched his mustache, looked at Xiao Qingshan even more proudly and said, "You just said panic?" It can't really be a big deal, right? You old clever ghost also miscalculates the day? ”

"No......" Xiao Qingshan continued to shake his head lightly, and said to Tan Mingqiu with wide eyes very seriously: "I think ...... The prime minister wants you to be in charge...... The word steal should not be used...... It should be called Na...... Or rather...... Borrow, anyway, the prime minister's business...... How can you say stealing? You're right? ”

"Damn!" Tan Mingqiu scolded lightly, lowered his head and drank tea: "You won't just do this, and then aspire to be the prime minister since you were a child, right?" That's really a misfortune for the world......"

"You can't say that, our year of heaven and ...... Now we're the only ones left...... Really want to talk about it...... The prime minister should be mine, hahahahahaha. Xiao Qingshan also held the teapot in one hand, and the lid on the teabowl seemed to know that the tea was coming, so he gently opened a big hole with the teacup, attached to the side of the teacup, and let Xiao Qingshan pour half a cup of the teacup.

Close it gently.

"Hey...... Jealous of talent...... Those who are really powerful...... He didn't live as long as we did...... It's really a loss for the empire......" Tan Mingqiu also began to feel a little sad, the tea roared, bitter, but the aftertaste was sweet.

"If only they were still ...... I don't think we've had anything to do with it for a long time...... I can really go to my little yard again...... Feed the chickens, feed the ducks, hoe the ground...... Variety of tea ...... Not to mention how much you have to be at ease......"

"At the beginning...... If you hadn't gone up to this Bailing Mountain...... It may not be like this...... That was a hundred years ago......" Xiao Qingshan nodded, and naturally responded: "I still remember that you were urged up the mountain by your mother at that time...... You're crying about asking for directions...... I see you...... Don't mention how embarrassing it is......"

"Huh...... I didn't want to come in the first place...... My family is poor, and I am missing, and I am less of me doing farming...... It's really hard for my parents...... Ay...... I thought...... I can help my parents pick up ears of rice in the field, and it's better than coming to this Bailing Mountain to pay for accommodation......" Tan Mingqiu touched his face: "Now...... It's been so long...... I really don't know how to describe us in that era...... You say naïve...... There are more than 99 little ones in my heart, you say that the scheming is complicated...... A few big men can be good friends when they fight......"

"Do you miss the past? Tomorrow autumn? Xiao Qingshan put down the feather fan and picked up his tea bowl, the tea bowl and the lid of the cup clicked together, he blew, and there was a slowly rising water vapor churning in the heat wave.

"It's useless to be nostalgic...... We're all about to go to the ground...... Miss...... Scold...... Tut. Tan Mingqiu continued to drink tea and snorted.

"Almost all the talented people we knew in our time are gone...... It's our turn, too...... Isn't it? Xiao Qingshan shook his head with a chuckle.

"Sort of...... But our current identity is not something that can be said to be gone...... As long as there are people who are not greedy enough to swallow elephants, even if we want to go...... Can't go either...... Not to mention...... With our strength, how can we say that we can go...... It's hard to die without dying...... Who knows where the focus of our lives lies...... Maybe next year...... It's also possible that tomorrow ......."

Tan Mingqiu's words made Xiao Qingshan obviously stunned for a second.

"It's not right...... Xiao Qingshan touched his beard, grabbed a white chess piece, and placed it on the chessboard very seriously, as long as this chess piece is played, this game of chess is almost over.

"Oh~ what's wrong?"

"Of course not...... Whatever you may say...... We're still alive...... As long as you are alive, you can't think about death...... Whether it's next year, or tomorrow, it's not important, it's ...... What we need to do, have we done it seriously......" Xiao Qingshan shouldn't have sighed.

But he let out a long sigh.

This made Tan Mingqiu also a little stunned.

"Future...... Maybe we really can't participate...... But, no matter what...... We still have to trust our young people...... They are also the pillars of the future...... No matter how young they are...... That's what we've been through...... It's like in our day, when people believed in us young lads...... The same is true now...... At that time, there were many people who didn't believe in us, if you really want to count it...... We are the people of the past...... It's kind of a fun thing to do......"

"Hmm...... I'm listening......"

Tan Mingqiu took a sip of tea.

"The most important ...... It's still a young man's anger......"

"yes...... We're old......"

Tan Mingqiu coughed.

He said.

"Where we are now...... Want to die...... Maybe it's not that simple......"
