At that moment, Xie Yixiang, Deyizi and Yan Sidao followed behind Xing'er and walked all the way to the stone cave on the mountain wall. Every seven or eight paces, an oil lamp hangs on the rock wall next to the cave for lighting.

It is said that this cave is not too deep, four people have passed six oil lamps one after another, the front is already the end of the cave, it is a relatively wide place, there are about two zhang high, five or six zhang square, four Changming oil lamps are hung at the four corners respectively.

Xie Yixiang looked closely, only to see that at the end of the cave, there was a boulder the size of a grinding plate, and the shape and the ground of the cave were originally one, but the surface was smoothed and smooth, and vertical and horizontal lines were carved on it, which was obviously a chessboard of Go: on the edge of the chessboard, there were two jars of black and white chess pieces. Behind the chessboard, near the rock wall of the cave, there was a thick screen sewn with a thick pale cyan cloth, which was so dense that it was impossible to see what was hidden behind the screen.

Except for the chessboard in the middle and the screen at the back, the end of this cave is already clear at a glance, and there are no other decorations, only some daily miscellaneous items piled up in the corner, which looks extremely empty. Xing'er led the three of them all the way to the chessboard in the middle, then went to the corner to fetch four straw futons and put them around the chessboard, and respectfully invited the three of them to take their seats. Then she took four clean porcelain bowls, filled them with a jar of water, and invited them to drink, and then placed a plate of dim sum on the chessboard, but it was a stack of cold baked cakes.

Xie Yixiang and his entourage naturally had no intention of eating and drinking, and after sitting down on the futon, all six eyes looked at the pale cyan screen behind them. If Mr. Aota is here at the moment, then it is obvious that he must be hidden behind this screen, and he has not yet appeared to meet the three of them.

I saw that after Xing'er arranged the water and baked cakes, he respectfully came to the screen, bowed to the screen, but did not speak. After a while, she nodded slightly, and replied as if she were talking to herself, "Yes." Then he stood up straight and smiled at the three people present: "The teacher said that the mountains are deserted and the cave dwellings are simple, so you can only use these vulgar things to entertain distinguished guests, and I hope the three of you will not dislike them." ”

Xie Yixiang couldn't help but wonder a little, so it seemed that Mr. Qingtian was really behind this screen, so he was able to explain this statement to Xing'er, but why didn't she hear a word?

Could it be that Mr. Qingtian has already reached the realm of transcendent sanctification, freed from the confinement of the mortal womb of the flesh, so he cannot be felt by himself like ordinary people? Fortunately, she has traveled all the way here, and she has already experienced it along the way, knowing that the "distinguished guest" that the other party really wants to invite this time still has to be a son and Yan Sidao, and she is just a foil at best, but she doesn't have to rush to get ahead, just wait and see what happens.

Sure enough, hearing Xing'er's words, Yan Sidao, who was sitting on the left side of the chessboard, suddenly smiled, picked up the porcelain bowl in front of him, drank a large sip of water, and smiled at the screen behind him: "The tea is strong, and it is originally a product for fame and reputation; Only this clear water that is neither born nor destroyed, is not dirty, is not impure, does not increase or decrease, is the wonderful thing of the emptiness of all laws. Mr. Qingtian treats guests with clear water, and the style of a famous family can be seen!"

After that, he took another piece of baked cake from the plate, and said as he ate it: "As for food, it is only used for the stomach, but there are worldly people who waste their time in this way, and do the act of putting the cart before the horse, in order to 'live for food'; Although it is just a plate of baked cakes, it can see Mr. Aota's ambition and understand the true meaning of life, which is really admired by the younger generations. ”

His two touting remarks were naturally putting on a high hat for Mr. Qingtian behind the screen, but where the words fell, there was silence behind the screen, and there was no movement. Instead, Na Xing'er slowly came to the chessboard, knelt down on the futon opposite, and then smiled at Yan Sidao, and replied respectfully: "The teacher said that Mr. is too predescribable, and he really doesn't dare to be an old man." Mr. Secret, over the years, the teacher has been in retreat and pondering, and often gathers a few of our unsuccessful disciples here, trying to learn from the past and compile a ballad that can predict fortune for future generations, so as to get a glimpse of the things of the future. Therefore, these baked cakes and water here are actually just the diet of a few of our disciples on weekdays, and they can't afford to be praised by Mr. ”

Seeing Xing'er open his mouth to answer, Yan Sidao couldn't help but have a trace of doubt between his eyebrows, but he continued to look at the screen behind him, and smiled again: "In the past, there were two masters of Yuan and Li who peeked into the heavens and made sixty drawings until they pushed their backs. Unexpectedly, after the two masters of Yuan and Li, Mr. Qingtian actually had a second Yaxing, and planned to compose a song to predict the fortune and pass it on, which is really a glorious and blessed move for all generations, which is really admirable!"

Who knew that this time it was still the star on the other side who answered, and said respectfully: "The teacher said, Mr. is talented, unparalleled in the world, if this ballad can be guided by Mr., it is undoubtedly an honor." It's a pity that the ballad has not yet been compiled, and I really don't dare to show ugliness to the three distinguished guests, so as not to laugh at the generous family. After a pause, she smiled again, and added to Yan Sidao: "The teacher also said that since Mr. has this Yaxing, he can stay here to compile this ballad together, and his old man will definitely greet him and sweep the couch to remember Mr.'s merits." I wonder what Mr. thinks?"

Yan Sidao was stunned for a moment and did not answer. Xie Yixiang was also shocked when she saw this scene, judging from this situation, could it be that Mr. Qingtian, who was hiding behind the screen, didn't plan to show up, but just let a girl like Xing'er pass the word for him?

If this is the case, and he never heard a sound coming from behind the screen, and he didn't even feel that there was someone behind the screen at all, then this star said "the teacher said" one by one, is it that Mr. Qingtian used a magical power like "sound transmission secret technique" to communicate with her, so others can't hear it, or is it simply this fifteen or sixteen girl who is impersonating here and bluffing the three of them in the name of Mr. Qingtian?

Seeing that Yan Sidao was dumbfounded by the other party's question, De Yizi, who was sitting on the right side of the chessboard, immediately sneered, stared at the screen behind him with a pair of gray-white pupils, and asked slowly: "Could it be today's matter, Mr. Qingtian is planning to hide behind the screen all the time, and refuse to show his true face?" But listening to Xing'er on the other side, he took over the conversation and said with a smile: "Please forgive me." It's not that the teacher is deliberately neglecting, but the teacher's current situation is indeed a bit special, and he is worried that he will frighten the three distinguished guests, so it is inconvenient to show up to meet him, but let the little woman speak for his old man's house. ”

De Yizi didn't even glance at Xing'er out of the corner of his eye, and continued to sneer at the screen behind him: "Worried about frightening us, if it was really Mr. Qingtian who was hiding behind the screen, how could he make up such a ridiculous excuse?"

Yan Sidao on the left also echoed: "Miss Fang Cai Xing'er once mentioned that if a person only has a part of his soul and part of his body left in the world, then whether this person is alive or dead? Therefore, I would like to invite Mr. Aotian to show up, maybe I can share Mr. Aota's predicament and do my best. ”

The words of the two of them were obviously decided, and Xing'er seemed to be a little difficult to deal with, so she had to look at Xie Yixiang who was sitting in the middle. Xie Yixiang was slightly stunned, hurriedly stood up, and said respectfully to the screen behind her: "Xie Yixiang, the daughter of the younger Xie Fengxuan, also received Mr. Qingtian's ear mention when she was young. This time, the younger generation came to visit, and I hope that Mr. Qingtian will appear in the face of his late father, so as to dispel the doubts in our hearts. ”

Seeing that Xie Yixiang also had the same attitude, Xing'er had to stand up from the futon and said with a smile: "The teacher said that after the same old man, Miss Xie San's words and deeds are really different from that of Miss Bi Er that day. He was very fond of this old man, and he was very envious of General Xie's successor. ”

As he spoke, Xing'er had walked back to the pale cyan screen, and stood with his head bowed, as if listening to Mr. Aota's instructions behind the screen. After half a ring, she turned to look at the three people present again, and said with a smile: "Since the three insist on meeting the teacher, his old man can't bear to touch the heart of the distinguished guest." It's just that before his old man shows up to meet, he has to bother Mr. Fuxu and Deyizi Daoist to do a small favor, otherwise his old man really doesn't dare to meet the two. ”

Hearing this, Yan Sidao and De Yizi were stunned at the same time, and when they looked at each other, they all saw a trace of doubt in the other party's eyes. Then he asked, "I don't know what Mr. Qingtian commands, as long as we can do it, we should do it." ”

Xing'er's eyes suddenly showed a mischievous look, and she said respectfully: "Please two distinguished guests, then take off the clothes you are wearing." ”
