Unknown valley.

The sun rose high, and the old man in the pavilion in the sackclothed robe opened his eyes.

In fact, not far from the pavilion, there is a grass house. There was a very comfortable bed in the cottage, at least that's what the old man in the linen robe thought.

The number of times the old man in the linen robe spent the night in the pavilion is really not much, the reason why he fell asleep in the pavilion last night was because he had an amazing discovery, and he was so excited that he forgot to go back to sleep.

Raising a hand, he wiped the small droplet of water that was about to run down his chin from the corner of his mouth on the right side. He raised his other hand again, rubbed his eyes, opened them, and ......

A green cow appeared in front of the old man's eyes.

It's not like a face-to-face exaggeration, but it's pretty much the same—the cow was grazing outside the pavilion.

The old man in the linen robe straightened up, looked at it fixedly, and immediately made a disciple salute to the green cow.

"I don't know if it's the arrival of the grandfather, it's a small sin."

"Come on, you! Your grandfather's feelings are like a cow, right? ”

Behind the old man in the linen robe, a figure flashed next to the big locust tree, which was the old man of the green cow who almost asked everyone in Nanshan to look around a few days ago.

The old man in the hemp robe looked at the old man and smiled embarrassedly, did not speak, and secretly complained in his heart: My teacher, if you really hide, I can guarantee that the person who can find you in this entire ancient land will definitely not exceed one hand.

The old man of Qingniu naturally couldn't hear the complaints of the old man in the hemp robe, and asked himself: "The scenery of this place is good!" Do you have a name for this place? ”

"Back to my ancestors, some time ago, there was a sage who traveled here, I asked him for a name, and he looked at my big locust tree, so he named this place - Huai Valley." No matter how you say it, you are also a teacher, and you still have to have the attitude you should have.

"Huai Valley? It's okay, but the name is a bit too banal. Which old bone is that sage you are talking about? ”

Old bones? Teacher, you are my own father, okay, there are some things that you can't talk nonsense!

"Master Zu, be cautious! He's your ancestor! ”

"Oh?" The old man of Qingniu quickly turned serious in surprise, "It is worthy of being a sage, this name is really exquisite, it not only points out the characteristics of this valley, but also uses a mediocre name to cover up the truth here, and highlights a trace of mystery." ”

"What Master Zu said is that this sage rarely shows up, and if you want to see him outside the palace, it will be even more difficult!" The old man in the linen robe secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

"School Palace?" The old man looked at the east, and for a moment, he saluted respectfully.

……

At the same time, in the depths of the school palace.

By the pond, an old man raised his confused eyes and glanced westward, and then the cat bent down to look at the empty pond, and at the empty hook, muttered a few times, hung his head again, and continued to doze off.

……

"Why do you call me Master Zu, I can clearly remember that I didn't start a sect."

"Although Master Zu has long since withdrawn from the world, your doctrine on the Tao has been continuously sought after by future generations, and gradually formed different schools, and you have naturally become the founding patriarch."

"It's better to call me teacher, Master Zu sounds too old."

The old man in the linen robe looked at his teacher's white hair, blinked his eyes a few times, and still responded: "Yes, teacher." ”

After speaking, he approached half a position behind the old man of Qingniu, raised his finger, and seemed to pass through layers of clouds and mist, through thousands of mountains and rivers, and pointed to a Taoist temple.

"That is the most famous Taoist temple at present, called the Southeast Taoist Temple, and the viewer is a free and easy person. This guy is very interesting. ”

The old man glanced back at him: "If you think it's interesting, it's really interesting." ”

When he retracted his gaze, the corner of the old man's eyes swept to the chessboard in the pavilion and froze.

Following the gaze of the old man in the green cow, the old man in the hemp robe explained: "Teacher, this chessboard was obtained by accident. Not only can you observe the situation, but you can also make some adjustments and deployments at critical moments, so as to change a lot of ...... Alas! Teacher! But don't touch it! ”

I saw that the old man of Qingniu was already standing by the chessboard at this time, holding a sunspot in his hand and about to fall, when he heard the shout of the old man in the linen robe, he stopped, looked up at him, and waited for him to explain.

The old man in the linen robe breathed a sigh of relief: "Teacher, you must be careful, there may be many known things that have changed, and there may be unexpected things that will happen." ”

The old man rubbed the black piece in his hand and asked, "I see that this chessboard is full of white chess, why don't you see black chess?" ”

The old man in the linen robe hesitated for a moment and walked to the other side of the chessboard, raised his left hand and stretched out a finger to point on the left side of the chessboard, "Ten years ago, there was a black chess tree here. ”

"There was a white piece here." Then he raised his right hand and also stretched out a finger to point in the middle of the chessboard, and in the reflection of the morning sun, the shadow of his right hand blocked his left hand.

"Then I came here." The left hand does not move, and the right hand joins the left hand.

"Then the black piece was gone, and the white piece moved a few squares to the side, and then the white piece did not move for ten years, during which time the black piece fell a few times, but then I also threw it back into the jar."

Then, the old man in the hemp robe pointed to a white chess piece near the middle, "Later, the white chess that hasn't moved for ten years has come here in recent days!" ”

The old man of Qingniu frowned and listened to the old man in the linen robe, did not speak at first, but threw the black son back into the chess jar, and then took out a white chess piece and asked: "Then what if I throw a white chess piece into this chessboard?" ”

"Out of nothing!" The old man in the linen robe had a heavy face, "That's a big taboo, please think twice, that will damage your luck!" ”

"Haha! Ha ha! Hahaha!" The old man's brows stretched out, and he laughed heartily: "I'm a waster!" How about adding a big boost to the Eastern Regions? ”
