Three young people of the same age in the Peace Hotel were drinking and talking......

"Chang Yu! Chu Mo seemed to have something very important to do, he had been away from the capital for a long time. ”

"Huh? It's normal. Chang Yu frowned, then stretched.

"Normal? It's normal to just leave quietly without saying a word? "I don't understand.

Yang Fei also cast an inquiring glance at Chang Yu at the right time.

At this time, Chang Yu picked up the goblet in front of him, shook it gently, stared at the wine in the glass, and was silent.

The tacit understanding between me and Yang Fei reached the highest level at this moment, and after glancing at each other, we also chose to remain silent.

“……”

"Do you believe that one day in the future, I will leave quietly?" After a long silence, Chang Yu finally spoke up: "Do you two believe that I will suddenly leave one day in the future?" ”

That doesn't sound like good news.

"Hahaha, of course I believe it." I picked up my glass and said, "Here!" Done!"

The three of them clinked glasses and drank them all. I noticed that Yang Fei's eyes seemed to show a hint of doubt.

I suddenly had a strong premonition: the two people in front of me would leave suddenly like Chu Mo. It's just that...... Where will they go?

I don't have a clue......

The dinner was over quickly.

"This is for you, you can come here to find me if you have something."

Before we parted, Chang Yu gave me and Yang Fei an address.

"It's ...... Where do you live? "Looking at that address, I was stunned.

"Who let you live there?" Yang Fei asked, unlike me, Yang Fei's performance was quite calm.

"Two friends recommended me to stay with them."

"What about them? ......I hurriedly asked, "Where are your two friends now?" ”

"I don't know, I just know that I have a room to live in."

I was silent, and I suddenly felt that something was holding me back from getting closer to the truth......

"Chu Ran, if you really want to know something, maybe you can see it next time?" Yang Fei looked at me who was silent and said, "You have to learn to find the answer by yourself." ”

"Okay." After listening to Yang Fei's words, my hunch became stronger and stronger, he must also leave.

……

After saying goodbye to Yang Fei, I walked alone on the little-traveled path, looking at the somewhat tortuous path and the evergreen trees on both sides, and a poem suddenly popped up in my mind: "The winding path leads to the secluded place, and the Zen room is deep in flowers and trees." ”

"Hahahaha." My whole body trembled: "Zen room? Could it be that I just want to become a monk? "I think it's highly likely.

……

Unhurried back to the rental house, I began to prepare the materials for tomorrow morning.

Early the next morning, before I went out, I sent the information to Yu Ying and asked him to help copy the information to the computer at my desk.

I came to the door of the company to brush my face and check in, and before I went to work, I hurried to the staff restaurant for breakfast.

"Master, let's have a bowl of meat, eggs, and rice rolls." I ate breakfast for both days, and it tasted pretty good.

If I want to sum up this staff restaurant in four words, I think it is appropriate to use "big, many, complete, and good".

The area is large, the number of meals is many, the dishes are complete, and the taste is good.

……

After eating to my heart's content, I hurried back to my workstation to continue sorting out the materials.

"Yu Ying, you help me see if there are any problems with these things, if not, I'll hand them in."

"Okay! Let me see. ”

……

After finishing my work, I decided to go to the Bamboo Forest Tavern to talk to Chang Yu about the tavern owner.

It's still a familiar environment, but at the moment my heart is not as calm as it used to be, and I desperately want to know something.

"Changyu, do you know where the owner of this tavern has gone? Well...... Is that the friend you call you? "I'm going to test Chang Yu's tone first.

"I really don't know." Chang Yu was a little helpless.

"And how did you meet?"

"This is a heavenly opportunity, and it cannot be divulged. But he should be half my master. ”

"Half? Why is it half a month? ”

"Because he doesn't like me, but that guy is crazy and loves to eat, and he accepted the apprenticeship I prepared."

"Can't look down on you? Accept your apprenticeship again? Isn't this sick? ”

"Do you know what the highest level of a madman is?"

"Is it so that others can't see that he's crazy?"

"Wrong! It is to make ordinary people think that he is a normal person, and let normal people in turn doubt whether they are normal. ”

"Huh?!And like this?"

"The world is so big, there are no surprises."

"That's true." I think so.

"Looks like you know it well." Chang Yu chuckled.

"Of course."

"That's good."

"Okay? At that time, I was really just a little bit close to seeing the 'Ten Palaces of Yama'. ”

"Hey, hey, hey! You sober up, you are still in the world, where did you come from the Ten Palaces of Yama?"

I was really moved to hear this, but I didn't dare to move right away.

Chang Yu continued: "You don't have such a high status, after you die, you should first be asked for your soul by black and white impermanence, and then see Judge Cui, and then you will be assigned to be a coolie, and you will also see the Ten Palaces Yama?" Lin Churan, do you think you deserve it? Hahahaha. ”

After taking a sip ......of my drink, I chose to remain silent.

"But your idea is good, maybe you will be able to achieve a fairly high social status in the future? Hahahahaha Chang Yu said and smiled again: "Ten halls of Yama? Hahahahahahaha......ha I can't do it, I'm going crazy laughing. ”

“……”

"No, Lin Churan, you have to compensate me, I'm about to laugh."

"......," I was speechless, "and make it up to you?" Do you think I'm like someone with that serious illness? ”

Chang Yu's laughter stopped abruptly, and then he looked at me seriously. After a long while, he said a word. It was this sentence that made me extremely sure that he was crazy, and he was completely crazy.

"Like! Very much like that! No, you're a patient! Hahahahaha...... "Chang Yu is really crazy: "Chu Ran, forgive me!" Believe me, I can't stand my weird laughs myself. ”

"Can't you stand it and won't shut up?" Maybe I was a little angry, or maybe he had laughed enough, and it really stopped at this point.

"Oh, it occurred to me that there were two things I wanted to show you." Chang Yu obviously had some hindsight, or did he laugh and lose his memory, and then returned to normal again, remembered? I don't know, and I don't want to dwell on it.

Soon, Chang Yu fiddled with a game of Go on the small square table.

"Go? I don't even understand the most basic rules, and you still let me watch the chess game, are you trying to mess with my mentality? "At the moment I have a lot of question marks in my head, big and small.

"How can you think of me like that? I don't know how to play Go either. Chang Yu seemed to be a little aggrieved, "It's my half master, that old foodie, old madman, who showed me, and I didn't understand it." ”

"You can't even read it, let me see it?" I don't even know how many times I've been speechless today.

"Uh...... I mean, maybe you're gifted in this area? ”

"Hahahahaha......ha If I had been so talented, would I still be here?"

"Huh?" Chang Yugan laughed twice: "That's right...... Hahaha. ”

"And if I have a very high talent in Go, it is estimated that when I die, I will not be worthy of the shoes that the Ten Palaces Yama will give me!"

What kind of sand sculpture argument of 'gentleman revenge, ten years is not too late', there has never existed in me, and it is generally revenge on the spot.

"Ten halls of Yama? When did I say that?" Chang Yu's expression was dazed, and obviously he began to pretend to be stupid: "Lin Churan, when did I say that?" If you do this again, I will sue you for slander. The more Chang Yu spoke, the more righteous he became, as if I had done something wrong.

"Hahahahaha...... Sue me for defamation? "Heaven is a good reincarnation, who does the sky forgive? I'm really going to die of laughter: "I advise you not to think about how to sue me for slander first; I advise you to go to the psychiatric department of the hospital to register and let the experts take a look. I'm afraid you'll be too late to go, and you'll be saved. ”

"......" Chang Yu was silent.

Chang Yu silently put away the game of Go, and then took out the Chinese chess ......

"You can understand this, right?" Chang Yu asked.

"I know the most basic rules of Chinese chess." I said truthfully, "I really didn't understand this game, or I didn't understand it at all." ”

"It doesn't matter if you don't understand it, on the contrary, it's normal, if you can see it now, I won't show it to you." Chang Yu said and took out two more chess games: "You take these two chessboards back and study them slowly." ”

When I looked closely, it looked like the two games I had just played.

"No, be careful, don't let the chess mess up." I watched Chang Yu's hands fiddle with the chessboard at will, and I was so anxious that I hurriedly spoke.

"It's okay, you see that each of its chess pieces has a fixed card slot, and you can fix the chess pieces on the chessboard." Chang Yu gave me a demonstration without hurrying.

"Okay!" I put the chessboard away.

……

At this moment, a young man walked into the tavern from the outside and walked towards us.

"Long time no see, Changyu." The man approached and greeted Chang Yu.

"It's a pleasure to meet you, Lin Churan." The man turned around and greeted me again: "Oh, by the way, my name is Chen Xin." ”

"Hello! How do you know me?" To be honest, I'm a little confused.

"Chang Yu introduced." Chen Xin explained.

"That's right." I saw Chang Yu nodding at me, and I instantly felt a lot more relaxed.

"I'm a temporary worker at the Bamboo Forest Tavern." Chen Xin said.

"Temporary?"

"More precisely, he's a temporary agent for this tavern." Chang Yu added.

"Agent?" I thought he must know something about the tavern's whereabouts, so he asked, "Where is the owner here?"

"I don't know." Chen Xin was also very helpless and helped to look after the store, but the boss didn't know where to go.

"Huh?" I don't understand.

"It's super convenient to find someone to help you with a phone call these days." Chang Yu explained to me, "That's the truth, right?"

"That's right, there's nothing wrong with it." Because that's what I do.

"Can you give me a copy of the phone number, I'll contact him myself."

"I may be going to disappoint you, I also thought about calling back, but it was a virtual number, and when I called, it was already prompted that it was empty." Chen Xin said.

I was a little lost, and my hope of getting closer to the truth was shattered again.

"It's okay, I'm used to being disappointed, not bad this time."

"Poof...... Hahahahaha...... "At this time, Chang Yu spit out all the drinks in his mouth.

Even Chen Xin couldn't help laughing.

Chang Yu wiped the corners of his mouth and asked, "What the hell is it that you are used to being disappointed?" Lin Churan, can you explain? Hahahahahaha......ha

"Yes! What do you mean to be disappointed?" Chen Xin asked.

"It's just a constant disappointment, isn't that weird?" I was puzzled.

"Hmm...... Generally speaking, it is not surprising. Chen Xin said: "But it's a little strange that this situation often appears in people of our age." Huh? Isn't that right? It's actually normal to be disappointed often. ”

"Yes, it's normal!" Chang Yu hurriedly agreed.

"Huh? Are you two alright? I looked at them with a puzzled expression: "Since you think it's normal, what are you laughing at?" ”

"Hmm... So, we suddenly wanted to eat something that looked very bitter, but tasted so sweet. Chang Yu replied with a very serious expression.

"You think. Isn't that what truth tastes like? Chen Xin said.

......" I now understand what it feels like to be exhausted: "I mean my emotions and memories, you tell me the truth?" Do you really think I don't know anything?"

"We definitely didn't mean that!" Chang Yu and Chen Xin spoke almost in unison.

I took a deep breath and held back: "You two really have that serious illness!" Hurry up and go to the hospital to have a look, otherwise it's really hopeless!"

"I can't talk about it this day...... I'll go back first, do you want to reflect on yourself? ”

"Howler! Young Master Lin, I'll give you a taxi. Chang Yu hurriedly picked up his mobile phone: "Young master, please wait for a while." ”

"You're less funny!" I looked at Chang Yu's appearance, and I couldn't cry or laugh for a while.

……

Not long after, the car arrived at the door of the tavern, and I picked up the bag containing the two chessboards, got in the car and left.

"Lin Churan!"

While waiting for the car to arrive, Chang Yu suddenly spoke: "Stick to what you want to insist on; Stay away from what you want to stay away from. ”

Chang Yu's words fell, and Chen Xin answered: "Don't indulge in the past, people should look forward, and memories will often become a fetter that hinders people's progress." ”

"Thank you." I looked at them calmly: "But at least now I feel that the things that people collectively call memories, for better or worse, are the forces that motivate me to look forward." ”

"Life is not long, but it is not short." I continued: "There must always be a few impulsive moments to add a little color to this sometimes dull life, right? And where do these colors come from?"

"I think it's when the good memories collide violently with the skinny reality." I paused and asked, "Am I wrong?" At this moment, my heart was very calm, just calmly looking at the two people in front of me, who were obviously already in a daze.

"Yes!" Chang Yu was the first to come back to his senses and said, "Then stick to what you are sure of." ”

"That's right! Whether it's our suggestion or someone else's suggestion. Many times advice is always just advice, and ultimately it depends on your own thinking and choice. ”

"I see, thank you." I suddenly realized, "You two are leaving, aren't you?" Going to a far away place?"

"Huh?" Chang Yu and Chen Xin were a little stunned when they heard this, and after the two glanced at each other, they regained their calm.

Because they both saw something called 'relief' in each other's eyes.

"The car has arrived. I'll go first. "There was already a white sedan waiting outside the door.

"Finally, I wish that at the moment of reunion after a long absence, we all have veritable pride in our hands." Chen Xin said.

"Okay."

……

"Chang Yu, why did you stop me just now?" Chen Xin looked a little dissatisfied.

"Because even if you continue to talk, Chu Ran may not be able to listen." Chang Yu explained: "His education from childhood to adulthood has always been based on 'truth, goodness and beauty'. And what will you say if you go on? ”

"Uh...... Nothing good to say anyway. Chen Xin scratched his head.

"Right? In that case, it is better to let him continue to believe in what he has long believed to be true. Chang Yu said.

"Maybe you're right." Chen Xin said: "It's just that you show him the chess game now, can he accept it after he understands it?" Even if he can accept it, how can he break the game? ”

When Chang Yu heard this, his brows furrowed: "You have too many questions." I'll just ask you, do you have time to wait? ”

"There's no time." Chen Xin was stunned for a moment, and then replied.

"Then there's no way around it." Chang Yu was also a little helpless: "What's more?" Who told you that he was the only one who broke the game?"

"You remember it's not him, it's them, it's a group, it's the most angry and courageous people in this society!"

"So, they're chess players?" Chen Xin asked: "Then we ......?"

"Just prepare to make the pieces in this chess game." Chang Yu said: "After all, if there are no good chess pieces, no matter how superb the chess player's skills are, it is still 'difficult for a good woman to cook without rice'." ”

"Alright. Hurry up and pack your things and go find that old fellow. Chen Xin proposed.

"Old fellow? Boy! He's half of our teacher, right? That's what you call him? Chang Yu said in a weird way.

"You come less! Don't think I don't know what you call him in private!" Chen Xin was a little anxious: "I'm afraid that compared with me, it's even more rebellious, right?" ”

"You talk nonsense! How could a person like me who respects my teacher do such a thing!" Chang Yu quibbled.

"The Teacher Said" wrote: There is no nobility and no cheapness, no growth and no less; Where the Tao exists, so does the teacher.

"Tell you to read more, you have to herd cattle!" Chang Yu chased after him relentlessly and sarcastically.

"You! I've seen skinless people, but I've never seen you so skinless. It's really talking nonsense with your eyes open, and you don't want to have a face at all!" Chen Xin shot back.

"That's good! Let's make a bet before we leave. Chang Yu said.

"Bet on what?"

"Lawsuit! I sue you for slander! You sue me for not being skinned! Let's see who wins!"

"You!" Chen Xin was completely anxious.

"Enough!" A voice reached the ears of the two of them. "For your little things, you can't even file a civil case! Hold on to mediation! As for the lawsuit? This is impossible in this life. ”

"Two naïve ghosts? At such an age, you can still do something that a ten-year-old child can't do!"

"Hey, hey! Senior Brother Chu Mo, we are called childlike beings! Chang Yu and Chen Xin are playing sloppy, mainly because they are afraid of being taught a lesson.

Chu Mo stepped out of the void and appeared in front of the two of them.

"Senior brother, this can't be a void projection, right?" Chang Yu was dumbfounded, he asked tentatively.

"This is my outer body." Chu Mo replied without being salty or indifferent.

"Cultivate your outer body to this point...... Chen Xin gasped: "Have you reached the tenth realm?"

"The Tenth Realm? That was many years ago. Chu Mo said: "Chang Yu! I have to warn you, the answer you want is likely to be in the Illusory Realm, and entering the Tenth Realm of the Illusory Realm is the most basic requirement!"

"Understood!"

"Remember! You all have to keep empowering yourselves!" Chu Mo's expression was unprecedentedly serious: "Only by unremittingly strengthening one's body can we protect oneself after the general trend comes!" In order not to be bewitched, and not to forget that you were born as a human being!"

"Understood." Chang Yu and Chen Xin's hearts were a little heavier.

"Let's go." Chu Mo continued: "Someone will take care of things here. ”

"Good!"

……

"After all, we're greedy. What we want is not the morning dew, but the bright light after the dawn! Or even ...... It's even more ethereal...... Eternity!" Chu Mo whispered.
