Volume 1 A Troubled Boy Chapter 1 The Beginning of the Story Section 15 True Spirit Chess Realm

When Luo Bei and the woman walked to the top of the high platform, they happened to be standing behind a stone chair.

The stone chair opposite was empty, and after looking at the black and white pieces scattered on the chessboard, the two of them noticed a person sitting on the stone chair next to them almost at the same time.

In a confined space, there was no exit, not even food and water, and even the air was getting thinner and thinner, and suddenly found that there was a third person.

This discovery, Luo Bei was naturally frightened.

He almost fell off the stone platform, but the woman quickly regained her composure after being startled.

grabbed his arm, otherwise he would have fallen from such a high stone platform, and he might have been seriously injured without waiting to die of thirst and starvation.

If you look a little closer, you will see that the person is wearing an outer coat, but it may have been too long ago and has completely shattered in the air.

Luo Bei was frightened by the sudden appearance of the person, but when he calmed down, he found that the person had actually remained sitting all the time, not moving.

Unexpectedly, the woman was much bolder than him, and after calming down a little, she came to the man, and stretched out her hand to lift the big curtain covering the man's head.

Luo Bei felt a sudden chill all over his body, and goosebumps all over his body.

At this time, the appearance of the seated person finally appeared in front of them, and it turned out that the person could no longer be called a human.

Because the muscles on his body had completely corroded and disappeared into thin air, there was only one skeleton left in his body.

The skeleton sitting on the stone chair was not very tall, and the clothes on its body had rotted and broken over the years, leaving only a few fine pieces to pieces.

The skull, where it should have been an eye, has become two black holes.

There was not a trace of light penetrating in, and the two black holes seemed inexplicably deep in Luobei's view.

At the same time, there is an indescribable darkness and breathtaking.

The skeleton rested one hand on the stone table, the other on the leg bone, and held an emerald green flute in his hand.

The flute was also covered with a lot of dust, but it still looked bright and conspicuous.

Although this man has been dead for many years, and now only a dry bone remains, judging from the fragments of clothes all over his body, the fabric and weaving process are all exquisite, and if it is ordinary, I am afraid that it will turn into dust in the course of time.

From this point of view, this person must have been an extremely delicate person back then.

The jade pendant worn on the skull must also be a very valuable thing.

The woman looked at the dry bones very carefully and told Luo Bei that this person was physically crippled back then, because his leg bones were too thin, which was obviously a degeneration caused by the disability for too long.

And the soles of the feet are slightly buckled, and there are two well-balanced broken marks on the kneecaps.

It's hard to imagine what kind of person this person would be when he was alive, maybe he was a prince and general, or he might be a martial arts master, but in the end, he could only stay in such a deep and closed cave, let the years erode and turn into a pile of dry bones.

Therefore, in life, the most pondered is fate, but in the end, no one can escape the palm of fate.

At this time, the woman was staring seriously at the emerald flute held in the skeleton's hand.

After she bowed deeply to the dry bone, she carefully took off the green flute in the dry bone's hand and put it in front of her to examine it carefully.

Luo Bei saw that the light in her eyes was a little strange, and he didn't know if there was anything valuable about this flute or what?

I saw that the woman suddenly stretched out her hands in front of her chest, and then raised them above her head, and knelt down in front of the bones again, and began to bow and worship.

Luo Bei was puzzled, even out of respect for the undead, he had never seen such a ceremony.

After the woman worshipped, she stood up again.

She wiped the dust off the emerald flute with the white clothes on her body, as if she had obtained some incomparably valuable treasure.

The woman's white fingers gently stroked the flute, and after wiping off the dust, two quaint seal characters were revealed on the flute.

The woman closed her eyes, her body trembling slightly, judging from her emotional fluctuations, it was like finally finding the relics left by her long-lost relatives.

Seeing that the woman was excited, Luo Bei didn't know how to comfort her, so she had to ask, "Hey, ...... Are you alright......"

The woman opened her eyes, carefully put away the flute, and then said with a slight tremor in her voice: "I don't call Hey, my name is Toad Moon ......"

"Toad Moon ......", Luo Bei silently read the woman's name.

This is the two of them who have just known each other's names after getting along for so long, Toad, listening to this name is like a cool moon like water in the Guanghan Palace, Luo Bei looked at the woman in front of him, and felt that this name really matched her temperament.

But when she thought about it, she hadn't told herself what her name was for so long, why did she suddenly say it? Could it be that even she had given up hope of going out? Will the two of them die here slowly like this skeleton, and after they die, they will become a dry bone under the erosion of time!

Luo Bei was a little desperate, sighed and said, "My name is Luo Bei......"

I don't know if the woman saw the despair in Luo Bei's heart, and said seriously: "If you want to get out of here, you need to find a way to break the formation first, and the way to break the formation is likely to be on this skeleton and chessboard......"

Luo Bei's heart moved when he heard her say this, and then he didn't make a sound, but waited for her to continue.

"That flute is called the Phantom Moon Flute, and it should be a sacred object kept by the Holy Maiden in an ancient sect many years ago......"

"Ancient sects?"

The woman shook her head, this was the second time she had mentioned this "ancient sect", judging from her performance, she should know something about this ancient sect, but since she didn't say it, Luo Bei wouldn't continue to ask, because he didn't care what sect it was.

"Could it be that this skeleton is a saint?"

The woman shook her head again and said, "It shouldn't be, it is said that the saint has an outstanding figure and is unparalleled in the world, so naturally she will not be a disabled person, maybe there is only some connection between the two......"

After saying that, Toad Yue didn't say anything more, but carefully walked around the chessboard on the stone table, and then sat down on the stone chair opposite.

"The above should be an unfinished game, maybe you can find a clue by solving this endgame......"

After speaking, she took out a white handkerchief from her arms and carefully wiped the dust off the chessboard, for fear of moving the chess pieces on the chessboard.

Just as she was about to finish wiping the dust off the chessboard, she noticed a line of small letters engraved on the edge of the chessboard.

True Spirit Chess Realm......

Life is like chess......

Chess is like life......

The one who solves my endgame......

You can know what is going on in the world......

Can you know the past......

If you want to get out of this situation, there is no other way but to give it a try.

Everything is gone...... Just wait for someone who is destined...... Those who are disabled and determined are free to write.

After looking at it, Luo Bei felt that the "Xiaoyao" who left these people was not only an interesting person, but also an extremely powerful character, as if he could predict the situation that the two of them encountered at this moment.

"If you want to get out of this situation, there is no other way but to give it a try......"

Luo Bei looked at Toad Yue with some embarrassment and asked, "You...... Do you know how to play chess?"

Toad Moon shook her head, then raised her head again, and looked at the chessboard quietly.

The black and white sons are intertwined with each other, just like the front of the two armies, and a sense of killing arises spontaneously.

The chess spirit penetrates the hearts of the people, and the entanglement of the chess pieces is the manifestation of the meaning of the heart.

The black and white are like the black and white in the world, entangled and avoided, but it is certain that the killing battle in front of them has not yet been decided in the chessboard.

Toad Yue looked at the chessboard for a long time before she said, "Maybe only by solving this chess game can you find a way out......"

Luo Bei was also watching the trend in the chess game, and when she said the same, when she was in distress, Toad Yue said, "Let me try ...... first"

Luo Bei's outstretched hand stopped, he naturally knew that he didn't understand the game at all, since Toad Yue wanted to try it first, maybe she could understand it.

......

Toad Yue sat on the stone chair, picked up a white piece in her hand, and looked at the chess game.

Luo Bei naturally didn't know, in fact, Toad Yue didn't know anything about the game, the reason why she wanted to try it first was because she knew that to solve the chess game, it was not just how deep the knowledge of the chess game was, but more likely a chance.

What's more, there may be some hidden formations or killing opportunities in this chess game, and if it can't be cracked, it is likely to be counterattacked.

Then her cultivation is much higher than that of Luo Bei, and she may still be able to resist it, not to mention that she still has treasures to defend herself.

But when she carefully observed the chess game, she found that the raised white son had no way to start.

She focused all her attention on the chess game, but for some reason, there were illusions in her eyes.

At first she was steady, knowing that they were just illusions from a chess game, but as time passed, she could barely take her eyes off the board.

The huge chessboard is like a picture of the rivers and mountains in an instant, and the deep traces between countless squares of different shades have become undulating mountains and streams, and the water of rivers is rushing bravely in the ups and downs, and she herself is in it, like an ant between heaven and earth, unable to find a way out for a while, and falling into confusion......

The scenery in front of you suddenly changes to the top of a high mountain.

The clouds are like mist, passing through the stream under the feet, the wind blows thousands of trees, and there are bursts of light mist, like a drizzle.

In the distance, the back of a green shirt stood at the highest point of the mountain, his long hair swaying in the wind, just by a glance at the back, he was occupied by the outstanding posture of the whole body and mind.

The man in the green shirt held an emerald green flute and blew on the top of the mountain, and his voice was insignificant, and there was a kind of arrogance with a thousand mountains as the scenery and heaven and earth as the backing.

But in the wind and rain, the sound of the flute gradually fell silent, as if telling a deep helplessness......

Heaven and earth are confused in the end, even if they swim all over the sea, they can't always resist the instant of the red face at the snap of their fingers......

Toad Yue listened to the sound of the flute, her always calm and indifferent heart seemed to be broken inch by inch, and in an instant, tears were pouring like rain.

She wanted to get closer, but no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't reach half a point......

In the dark, fate is slicing it apart.

Suddenly looking back, a familiar and unfamiliar face appeared in front of me.

At that moment, Toad Yue felt like she had fallen into the abyss.

However, she didn't understand why that face was so similar to the young Luobei, obviously ...... They should have nothing to do with each other, should they?

Toad Yue sat in front of the chess game, and the whole person was already in the chess, but the chess piece between her fingers never fell.

Luo Bei saw that there seemed to be confusion in her eyes, but she stared at the chess game without blinking, and her chest kept rising and falling.

The tears in her eyes seemed to be more than the raindrops in the sky, dripping down, and the sadness could not be increased.

He hurriedly stepped forward and tried to wake her up, but he didn't know that she was deaf.

After a long time, Toad Yue came back to her senses in a trance, and the voice in her ears gradually became clearer, and then she realized that Luo Bei was shaking her shoulders vigorously and shouting her name loudly.

Toad Yue took a few deep breaths before calming down a little, and she looked back at Luo Bei, as if she was looking at someone again.

Luo Bei let go of his hand, and when he saw her looking at himself so seriously, he was a little embarrassed, and he didn't know if his helpless actions just now offended her.

Toad Yue didn't seem to care at all, she still habitually didn't say much, stared at Luo Bei for a moment before retracting her gaze, and sighed: "There seems to be a magic in this chess game...... I'm caught up in it...... Thanks to you for waking me up."

Luo Bei smiled at her and turned his face away, because through the tulle, he could vaguely feel that there was still a bit of crimson on Toad's fair face.

"Why don't I try it......" Because he had no confidence, Luo Bei's words were a little timid.

Toad's face changed slightly after the veil, but she finally couldn't help but say nothing, and walked down from the stone chair.

Luo Bei jumped on the stone chair, he had never seen Go, let alone know how to play, at this time it was just a dead horse as a live horse doctor, he took a deep breath, to be honest, thinking of Toad's performance just now, he was really a little nervous.

A kind of nervousness that is really indescribable...... Just like a playful afternoon, the moment he is about to enter the house, he will also feel nervous when he thinks of the ring ruler in his father's hand......

There was still a hint of temperature on the stone chair, Luo Bei glanced at Toad Yue who was standing beside him, and saw that Toad Yue lowered his head and seemed to be thinking about something, so he sorted out his nervousness and began to watch the chess game carefully.

On the chessboard, the sunspots have occupied all sides, surrounding the whites, and the whites can hardly find a way out.

When he picked up a white seed, it was the same as Toad's moon at that time, and there was no way to leave it.

He watched the game intently, as if he saw a face, full of smiles, and long eyelashes flapping like butterfly wings.

Time stayed in the dusk of the first meeting, the girl in the aqua green dress slowly turned back in the sunset, and the smile on her face at that time was the most beautiful smile Luo Bei had ever seen in his life.

High mountains and dangerous peaks, under the cliffs, is a bay of bottomless lake.

A small boat rippled on it, and a man sat on the edge of the boat.

Surrounded by birds, countless bees and butterflies fluttered, but he was concentrating on playing a guqin.

The sound of the piano was infinitely amplified in Luobei's ears, like the pouring seawater.

In the distance, countless ripples spread out faster and faster, and he could vaguely see a resolute big red figure plunging into the water, and he wanted to call for help to the man in the boat, but the man had been playing the piano so intently that he couldn't seem to hear him at all.

In an emergency, he wanted to jump into the water to save people, but at this time, he realized that the man on the boat was just a reflection.

A man with gray hair and eyes full of vicissitudes refracted on the calm lake, and the moment the man raised his head, he faced him with a smile, as if saying goodbye.

In the farewell, the man finally went away, and even the ripples in the water gradually disappeared, and everything would eventually go away......

Luo Bei's heart was still in sharp pain, as severe as when he woke up that afternoon.

The chessboard in front of me is gradually returning to its original appearance, and everything is just an illusion......

Luo Bei was still holding the chess piece in his hand, and at this moment he decided to put the chess piece down, regardless of the result.

At the moment when the chess pieces fell into the chessboard, countless chess pieces began to rotate rapidly in the chessboard, just like the desert and the yellow sand did some kind of irregular movement when the storm came.

He didn't even know how he thought of the yellow sand, but the moment he thought of the desert, at the very center of the chessboard, a pinch of yellow sand suddenly gushed out.

Next, the sand kept pouring out from the chess game, and seeing that the rolling yellow sand was about to drown itself, Luo was shocked, and he wanted to dodge, but when he looked around, he found that he was trapped in a sea of sand.

The temperature of the sand is slightly hot, and it is said that the desert is unforgiving, but there is even a familiar feeling in Luobei here.

He looked up and saw that the cave in his memory was long gone.

The dome overhead became a night sky like a sea of stars, like a great river, and the seven stars on both sides of the long river were the most shining, which were the seven ancient stars that had hung in the northern part of the starry sky since ancient times.

Once on the banks of the Luoshui River, he had seen the Big Dipper in the night sky countless times, but he had never seen such bright seven stars.

Strangely, the North Star, which was supposed to be the brightest, kept twinkling in the dim.

The next moment, the starry sky spun like a rapidly rotating compass, and the twinkling North Star suddenly disappeared in front of his eyes, turning into a five-colored glow and falling down.

The light finally fell in front of Luo Bei's eyes, and then turned into a sword wrapped in five-colored light, the sword fell in front of him, and he was frightened and retreated suddenly, and at this moment, the five-colored sword qi scattered away.

By the time he saw it in the dazzling light, the heavens and the earth had become dim.

As the sun sets, the sky is as red as blood.

The sword was stuck in the desert, and the boundless yellow sand, like waves in the setting sun, was blown by gusts of wind and caused countless ripples.

Looking up, a fiery figure in the sea of sand was walking towards him step by step.

In the desert, like a flying wild goose, it turns into a poignant and melodious song.

In the sea of sand, quicksand rolls, gathering sand into mountains, and between the rift valleys that appear when the mountain beams converge and collapse, countless big characters are written across the world.

If you look closely, it looks like a strange and inexplicable long poem:

"Bright moon,

Reading a Thousand Mountains,

By whom chases the light shadow,

secluded and weak water,

Before the end of the day,

A red veil is misty among the clouds,

Yangshu Ridge

Two or three pieces

Xuanji is holding each other

Yingying Sushou,

Both sides of the galaxy

Whispering

The sound of the flute was remnant

Jade Weight

Yellow sand

Look at the red rain from afar

Figures fluttering

What year is it?"

The singing gradually became softer, but Luo Bei was already full of tears when he heard it.

In the midst of grief and distress, he tried his best to see the appearance of the woman in red, but the woman's eyes became more and more blurred in his eyes, until there was a picture of the red sky in front of him.

Everything is just a pity.

He felt like he was laughing maniacally, and at sunset, everything began with parting, but he didn't know when he would be able to say goodbye.

Everything in his eyes will be lost and lost, is this an illusion or a reality, and if it is so real, the real let himself be trapped in it and unable to extricate himself.

The chess game is like the game of life, and it is also like the game of the world.

The unpredictable fate may have left a clue between black and white.

Just when Luo Bei was sad and inexplicable, he suddenly felt a slightly cool, silky and delicate hand holding his trembling hand.

The voice was soft, but it was full of tenderness at this moment, and it said in his ear: "Don't be afraid, I will always be with you......"

It was such a voice that made the countless illusions that appeared in front of Luo Bei's eyes disappear.

Then, a picture reappeared, in which the earth began to crack rapidly under the swirling sky, and a rushing torrent was flooding the village and the land not far from the parched land.

Heaven and earth turned into countless screams and roars.

Suddenly there was the sound of horses' hooves ahead......

Luo Bei was struggling powerlessly with hundreds of people, and somehow suddenly grabbed a white child and threw it into the thousands of torrents in front of him.

Then, everything seems to freeze in an instant.

Then, heaven and earth go away, and all things become one.

Luo Bei opened his eyes in a breath, his trembling body was in Toad Yue's arms, I really didn't expect that she was such an indifferent person, and her arms were so warm at this moment.

Streams of hot tears still poured out of his eyes like a flood, soaking Toad's clothes.

But she didn't move, just hugged the crying boy tightly.

......

......
