Volume 1 Sheng Mingyue Chapter 44 Chess is used to play
The three of them turned around and were about to leave, and after a two-day delay in this city, it could be regarded as a rest, at least the empty package on Xu Chang'an's back had begun to bulge.
So the next step is to keep going.
"Three donors, please stay. ”
A voice came from behind, there was nothing special, and there was no sense of compassion, it sounded just ordinary.
The three of them turned around at the same time, and were suddenly startled when they saw the man.
If you want Xu Changan to describe this person, one word is the most appropriate. That is obscene, so obscene that it can be compared to a certain man in Sifang City.
The monk trotted all the way, and he didn't care about putting his hands together, his eyes lit up as if he had seen three living Buddhas, and his smiling face was smiling.
Except for a bald head, I can't see anything like a monk, the new stubble on my head has been faintly frost white, and a faded monk's uniform is even more forced by him to wear a feeling of begging.
"Amitabha, I have seen three donors. The monk came to the three of them, quickly restrained his smile, folded his hands and saluted.
Yang Hejiu stood in front of him with his left hand and saluted him.
Xu Changan and Lin Ying stared at the monk, neither opening their mouths nor saluting, and their expressions were all writing, 'What are you going to do?'
"The poor monk came from the Tang Dynasty in the East and went to the West ......"
Perhaps thinking of the man who picked up the flat burden through the obscenity of the monk, Xu Changan's impression of him was not much better, so he quickly waved his hand, motioned to the monk to stop, and said directly: "We don't care where you go, just say what you want to do when you stop us." ”
"The poor monk wants to go with the three of them, and he has a good idea along the way. The monk said without embarrassment.
"Then don't think about it, we don't believe in Buddhism, and we don't need to take care of it. Xu Changan turned to leave, stretched out a hand above his head and waved it.
Compared with that ordinary monk, he already has two big Buddhas in his line, and he still needs you to take care of it? Xu Changan doesn't think that this monk can be so powerful, it feels like he wants to go with him to cheat and cheat.
The monk licked his lips, gritted his teeth and said, "The kid who took the sword just now, I'll help you solve it!"
Xu Changan's ears trembled, and he hurriedly retreated, with a smile on his face and said harmlessly: "This monk." ”
"Master, master. The monk folded his hands and reminded him.
"This master, can you participate in the entrance test at your age?" Xu Changan asked as he looked the monk up and down.
The requirements for the entrance examination are young talents, whether it is Wu Qitu or the kendo man just now or Lin Ying, although they are a few years older than Xu Changan, they still do not go beyond the category of teenagers, but the monk in front of him is obviously already a young man, even if he is a middle-aged man, I am afraid that some people will believe it.
You think you can help us deal with the sword-wielding fool on the entrance test?
The monk gestured with one hand on his neck and smiled grimly: "We can give him halfway..."
The three of them were speechless, turned around and were about to leave, feeling more and more that this monk should have gone mad by chanting scriptures.
"Wait, wait, the poor monk is joking. The monk hurriedly followed.
Yang Hejiu frowned slightly, glanced at the monk up and down, his eyes stayed on his shoes and said: "The Tang Kingdom is thousands of miles away, if you come all the way from the Tang Kingdom, the wear and tear of the shoes should not be so shallow. ”
The monk thought for a moment and explained, "Newly bought. ”
The three of them naturally saw that this was a lie and didn't bother to pay attention to him.
The monk said bitterly: "The relationship between the State of Qi and the State of Chu is tense, and the next trip will inevitably be dangerous, so please allow the poor monk to go with the three donors." ”
Xu Changan thought of the war horses outside the Sifang City, perhaps thinking that it would be a little dangerous, and asked, "What's your name?"
"Lee... The poor monk is called Wusheng. ”
Xu Changan's ears leaned forward, "What's coming from Li?"
"It's just a common name, it's just a common name, and it's a monk's own name. The monk grinned.
"Raw, raw. That's an interesting word. Xu Changan muttered to himself.
"Can you really enter the building and try to level the one who just held the sword?" Xu Changan then asked.
"You don't understand this, scholars are afraid of Taoist priests, Taoist priests are afraid of monks, this is called praying mantis catching cicadas and yellow finches behind. The monk said proudly.
"I've never heard of any crooked reasoning. Lin Ying pouted.
Xu Changan cast an inquiring glance at Yang Hejiu.
Yang Hejiu nodded, signaling that it was okay.
The four of them returned to the inn to lead the horse and prepare to go on the road, the monk looked at Lin Ying's white horse, his eyes lit up, swallowed his saliva and said, "I feel that this horse should be mine." ”
Lin Ying looked at the monk like a neuropath, too lazy to reason with him.
Xu Changan asked with a puzzled expression: "Why do you feel like this?"
Master Wusheng shook his head, "I don't know, but that's how I feel. ”
......
......
Spirit Academy, Heartlake.
The dean sat casually cross-legged by the lake, with an empty chessboard in front of him.
The middle-aged gentleman sat on the opposite side, panicking, for fear that a sudden gust of wind would blow the two of them down in the lake, and couldn't help but persuade: "Teacher, why don't we change places." Besides, it's cold now, and sitting by the lake all day is not good for your health. ”
The dean took out a chess piece from the chess jar, gently pinched it with two fingers, stared at the empty chessboard and found that there was no place for his own pawn, and said hesitantly: "Emperor Zulong dropped his chess piece on the Moon God Order, and all the countries have all landed on this entrance test. Ju An, where do you think my chess piece will fall again?"
Ju An smiled and said, "The teacher is not a chess piece, so there is no need to drop a piece." ”
The dean nodded, put the chess pieces in his hand back into the chess jar and whispered: "I am not a chess player, and I am not a chess piece, and there is no place for me on a huge chessboard, and it is ridiculous to live a lifetime." ”
stood up and looked at the autumn water of the lake, and said to himself: "I'm not as good as Xiao Jiu." ”
Ju An got up and stared at his teacher's lonely back and persuaded him: "The student thinks that the teacher may also consider accepting another student." ”
"I asked Xiao Jiu to take in a student in the hope that he could find something to do, so that he would not think that he was useless like me, so that he would not be able to think about it and commit suicide by throwing himself into the lake again, as for how I could meet my own student again. ”
Ju An frowned slightly, and was about to open his mouth to persuade something, when the girl in red happened to pass by, staring at the chessboard in front of the two of them with some puzzlement: "That's not how chess is played. ”
The dean turned around, looked at the girl in red and nodded, "Then how to get down?"
"Chess is chess, passing the time, two people face each other. The girl in red rubbed her eyes and said.
Both of them smiled at the same time, and the dean asked, "Where did you go today?"
"I went to the palace and stole something, but it didn't work. The girl in red said casually, as casually as if she had taken a few books from her own house.
Ju An smiled dumbly, this girl in red had done too many things that he couldn't imagine since she came to the Spirit Academy, and she was already surprised, but she still admired her normal appearance.
The dean nodded, not feeling that there was anything wrong, and said, "It doesn't matter whether this city or the things in it, you just need to remember that there are two places in this world that you can't go, and there are a few things you can't touch. ”
The girl in red flipped a few pages of a stolen history book at random, and then threw it into the lake and asked, "Which two places, which things?"
The dean stared at her clothes and said, "Chang'an City and Wangshu Tower, these two places are not to be visited, and those five heavenly swords are not to be touched. ”
"Why?" asked the girl, puzzled.
Lord Dean shook his head, "If you know the purpose of Wangshu Tower's existence, you will know why you can't go. ”
The girl in red frowned slightly, and always felt that the eyes of the old man in front of her seemed to have seen through everything, and her eyes turned and asked, "What about Chang'an City?"
Ju An lowered his head and smiled, and the dean didn't explain much.
"It's boring to pretend to be mysterious. The girl in red pursed her lips and got up to leave.
After the girl in red left, the middle-aged scholar asked with some hesitation: "Teacher, the student is a little puzzled, why can't she go to Wangshu Tower, and why can't she touch the five heavenly swords." ”
Dean Fang Cai said two places, but Ju An only asked about Wangshu Tower when he asked now, which showed that he knew what was hidden in Chang'an City.
The dean shook his head, signaling that he didn't want to explain, but said softly, "It's for her good, and it's for the good of many people." ”
"What is the purpose of Wangshulou's existence?" Ju An said puzzled.
Since the establishment of Wangshulou, no one knows what the purpose of this sect's existence is, and they only promise to ignore the affairs of various countries. Even if he participated in the rebellion of the Chu State hundreds of years ago, it was because the Chu State provoked trouble first, if it weren't for the iron hooves of the Chu army stepping on Taiyin Mountain and Wangshu Tower, they wouldn't have paid attention to these at all.
The purpose was not clear, the motive for its establishment was not clear, and the world suddenly found itself ignorant of this sect.
The dean said casually: "The purpose of Wangshulou can only be known by Wangshulou, how can I be clear." ”
Ju An frowned slightly, "Teacher, do you know something?"
The dean scolded: "What does Lao Tzu know, but what does he care about your?"
Ju An smiled bitterly, "Yes, yes, the students naturally can't care about it." But I feel that the teacher likes this girl very much, should you consider taking her as a student?"
The dean's face twitched violently on one side, and it was naturally impossible for him not to admit in front of his student that his idea had long been rejected by the girl in red, and the reason for the refusal was still boring, boring This kind of strange-looking words.
The dean of the Spirit Academy wanted to accept a girl as a student, but was rejected by the other party without thinking about it, and if this kind of thing spreads, I'm afraid that people will laugh off their big teeth.
The dean blinked his old eyes, and said with some abruptness: "Ju'an, why are you so verbose?"
Ju An hurriedly changed the topic, "It's almost the Chinese New Year, Xiao Jiu should have arrived in the Qi State, the Qi State and the Chu State have always had tense relations because of the territorial issue, and I am worried that he will be used by someone with a heart." ”
"If you use it once, can you use it a second time?" said the dean, unhappily.
The corners of their mouths twitched at the same time, and they said in unison: "Not necessarily." ”
