Chapter 147 Tea ceremony, chess ceremony
The fox fairy took a sip of tea, looked at me again, and continued:
"Actually, you can see it even deeper. In addition to life, take a closer look at this tea, you can also see the boat on the water, thousands of sails crossing, masts stand in a forest, drums and horns sound in unison, the flag covers the sky, and then open wide, this piece of tea is the universe of stars, as vast as a sea of smoke. One leaf and one boat, you can see the boat traveling in the sea of stars, rain and fog, each leaf from curled up to stretched, from tight to relaxed, is the growth and aging of life. ”
"It's watching tea from the big universe. In the West, there is a knowledge of divination through tea. Kitsune said lightly, "But Sen no Rikyu has already understood the cosmology and returned to the far point." He transcended the universe and returned to his original heart. ”
"From the perception of life to the universe, in the end, it finally returns to the hearts of people. The fox fairy paused for a moment and continued, "No matter how bitter the tea is, after it is brewed with plain water, it will gradually be assimilated. Life eventually returns to silence. Everything goes to the extreme, and it finally returns to the original point. ”
Speaking of this, the fox fairy smiled at me and gave me a peaceful and warm smile, she gently held the teacup, shook it, and said:
"When you look down and taste tea, the only thing you can see from the water lines is yourself. That's when you've regained your heart. This is the ultimate tea ceremony, back to basics. ”
At this point, the fox fairy was silent, and I knew that her speech had finally come to an end.
She picked up the cup, and after playing with it three times in her hand, she tilted her head slightly, her throat squirmed, and silently drank the tea in small sips.
I, on the other hand, looked down at the cup of tea in my hand in front of me, and fell into a long contemplation.
The water vapor diffused with the fragrant tea fragrance that filled the house, blurring a piece, and the boundary between light and shadow had lost its meaning.
In this undulating space, the graceful and perfect figure of the fox fairy also began to change slightly.
The fox fairy's long black hair, her round shoulders, her smooth jade neck, and even every inch of the looming skin surface on her body began to slowly rise a trace of white smoke.
The white smoke mixed with the unique fragrance of the fox fairy, the white smoke rising from the fox fairy's body swirled around her body, and with this wisp of white smoke rising, the fox fairy's faint figure gradually began to look hazy.
"Fox fairy, ...... you" I looked at the amazing changes on the fox fairy in astonishment, but I couldn't speak.
The silk white gas rising from the fox fairy's body is like a fairy silk crawler swirling and deflecting in the air, staggering into thousands of clouds, undulating and drifting, little by little, filling my bedroom.
I looked at the fox fairy in amazement, but the fox fairy looked at me casually, as if she had expected this scene, she gently stroked the black silk on her shoulder, and her eyes fell on my face steadily.
"Oh, it's almost time coming. In a few hours, I will be gone. The fox fairy sighed softly, and her words were full of deep emotion and sarcasm, the kind of sadness that penetrated the depths of my soul, and my heart became extremely desolate. "Unexpectedly, I finally got to this point. ”
It wasn't until this moment that I really realized.
Fox fairy, really leaving.
"A few more rounds. ”
The fox fairy looked at me and said quietly, then took down a game of Go and a box of chess that I had placed there from the bedside table next to me, and lifted the Go boxes one by one, and gently placed them in front of me.
"Is it a hierarchical chess, or is it a game of Go where all beings are equal?"
The fox fairy knelt in front of me, his hands on the chessboard of chess and Go, and on the back of each hand, there was a gossamer-like white gas slowly emanating from the back of each hand.
Seeing that the 36,000 pores on the fox fairy's body all exuded white gas, my heart was like a knife.
My heart is dripping blood.
Thinking of the days with which this woman had spent less than 100 days, and of those days that were not very cheerful, but always felt full and colorful, I suddenly felt a heart-rending pain.
Although short-lived, I ...... But I felt like I had spent my life and life.
"Let's go it. Go is quiet, chess moves, and chess is too murderous. I suppressed my trembling voice and said my choice.
"Then Go. The fox fairy's black eyes blinked, slowly bowed his head, and his wide sleeves were raised, and he easily pulled the nineteen-way Go chessboard on the right hand side, and spread it out between me and her.
The fox fairy's long eyelashes were half-hung and half-open, and a white jade hand gently caressed the square chessboard, and after a while, she pulled the chess box and handed the box containing the black chess pieces to my right hand, and the box full of white chess pieces was placed on her right head.
"You go first. The fox fairy gently exhaled a ball of fragrant fresh air, and looked at me with bright eyes. "Look at your chess skills. ”
"Shall I land first?" I couldn't help but raise an eyebrow. The so-called preemptive strike, in terms of probability, the side that goes first has a better chance of winning, although it is not necessarily, when Huangmei Seng and Duan Yanqing play against each other, it is not unreasonable that he is willing to cut off his toes for the next son.
"You first. You are holding on to black. The fox fairy looked at me steadily, and said indisputably, on her thin incense shoulders, there was a steady stream of white gas rising discretely, and compared to before, the white gas on the fox fairy's body was a little stronger, and in contrast, the fox fairy's figure seemed hazy, and her intact and beautiful figure was like a luminous cup that could pass through the moonlight at this moment.
This woman dared to let me settle first, naturally she was full of confidence, thinking that my chess skills were not as good as hers, which was somewhat a bit of a superior to guide the way.
On the innocuous point of who landed first, I didn't want to pursue anything, looking at the trace of neon white gas on the fox fairy's body, I didn't have the heart to play chess at all.
Actually, if you really want to talk about it, I am also full of confidence in my chess skills, starting from a small start, playing chess, chess, or Wumu, Junqi or Liubo, after I have learned the rules, I have never been defeated.
"Don't use mind reading. I raised my head and gave a warning to the fox fairy, then grabbed the chess pieces with the fingertips of my index and middle fingers, and gently placed the pieces on the intersection of the upper right corner of the board
"Since I let you hold the black, you naturally know the rules. The fox fairy said indifferently. Then her gaze fell on my grape's hand, and a hint of approval flashed in her eyes, "The grape's technique is decent." ”
"It's not just decent, it's real. I looked at the gradually fading figure of the fox fairy, pursed my lips, and squeezed out this sentence.
After that, the fox fairy straightened out the green silk, and her delicate face was slightly heavy, a little more condensed and cautious.
The fox fairy raised her sleeve slightly, and this woman with a white hand poked out of her sleeve, her five fingers were slightly deflected, her thumb and index finger were fitted, and she made a flower finger shape, and she twisted up a white child, fluttering lightly like a leaf of wandering on the chessboard, and the left was attached to Tianyuan, but it did not occupy Tianyuan.
"Since Emperor Yao Shun made Go, there have been many celebrities in the past dynasties, and the wise men have been one after another, and each title is coquettish. Especially in the Three Kingdoms, the two Jin Dynasty, and the Kangqian era were prosperous, and a package of chess saints was produced. For example, Gao Tao's light and agile Huang Longshi, who took the abandonment as Fan Xiping, the dense and strict Shi Ding'an, and then there were Dongying Teng and the fickle Taoist policy, the anti-Ge Zhanghe, the peaceful and leisurely Xiu Strategy, the alert and unrestrained Xiufu, and the Xiu Rong of the modern trade-offs, and Wu Qingyuan, the six of yin and yang. Although I don't know who is in charge of the world of Go today. But chess is a way, which contains Zen and Taoism. ”
"In ancient times, it was said that you can meet friends with chess and know people by playing chess. Strangers who are familiar with their lives, sit opposite each other, do not say a word, do not write half a word, only play chess, you can see the wind and clouds in the hand talk, and the number of people is high and low. It's the power of chess. If tea tasting is a sprinkling life with the flow, playing chess is a difficult process of fighting with the sky, the earth and people. ”
The fox fairy spoke slowly, her eyelashes were low, her eyes were like twilight, and she was very distracted.
Her face is like a leisurely stroll, with butterfly-like sleeves rising and falling, falling with her hand, happy and free, in one go, like mountains and flowing water, venting the flow smoothly, without the slightest stagnation and condensation.
This woman still has room to gossip, which shows that she still has a lot of energy to spare.
I frowned, glanced at the fox fairy, lowered my head, and observed the fox fairy's path.
In terms of chess paths, the fox fairy's chess path is relatively scattered, and at the beginning of a few moves, I can't see the depth.
The next ten sons, the fox fairy and I didn't speak again, sometimes frowning between us, sometimes mentioning, sometimes thinking, sometimes enlightened, but in general, they were all very silent, silent to the point of dead silence.
Even with it, the whole bedroom was cold, and the subjective temperature dropped to almost minus nine degrees Celsius, which is the most suitable for freezing corpses.
After almost half an hour of stalemate, I finally saw a flaw in the fox fairy's chess grid, and at that moment, I almost forgot that the fox fairy was about to dissipate, and I couldn't help but smile for a moment.
Although the three white pieces that surrounded me by the fox fairy were pressing step by step, forming a tiger's mouth, but throughout the whole chess game, the fox fairy revealed a fatal flaw, allowing me to take advantage of the weakness and win the counterattack.
"Pounce, take off first, three or four lines, under the small eye, I mentioned. I looked at the fox fairy, smiled a little apologetically, and then placed a black piece on the periphery of the fox fairy's white chess piece and ate the fox fairy's two pieces.
Looking at the two extra vacancies on the chessboard, I only felt a moment of indulgence, but I didn't feel any comfort, and what was deeper was a deep sadness.
I glanced up at the fox fairy, but found that even though I had two children, her face was still calm and unchanged.
So the game continued.
Two minutes later, the fox fairy suddenly spoke:
"You can't escape from the door. I mention this son, poor king's life. The fox fairy lifted his hand slightly, took away my six sunspots, and then raised his head, and a shallow smile that was difficult to hide appeared on his snow-like jade face.
From that smile, I could see for the first time in the fox fairy's face the overcomer's teasing.
And the opposite of the fox fairy, when the fox fairy ate my six sons, my whole body fell into a petrified state.
"Impossible! I calculated all the next fifteen possible moves...... How is that possible?" I looked up and looked incredulously at the woman in front of me.
