Chapter 18 Mortal life is like a dream, and I suddenly wake up
"Hey, master, isn't this the handkerchief you just tied, why did you come here again? Shen Mengsoul pointed to the handkerchief hanging on the branch and said in surprise, "I don't know if the teacher is not either, this forest seems to be a little weird." Jiang Mengsheng thought slightly, "Ah, what should I do, master, will we die here?" Shen Mengsoul hugged his little head and panicked.
"You kid, say something unlucky. Jiang Mengsheng heard that his apprentice was so unconfident that he would not be angry.
In the surrounding woods, Xuanxuan was hiding in it with the little monkey, looking at Shen Mengsoul's appearance, Xuanxuan couldn't help laughing, the little monkey also jumped up, the violent beating made the surrounding leaves rubble, Jiang Mengsheng instantly sensed, and threw a black chess piece from the sleeve cage to shoot through the layers of tree trunks and shoot straight to Xuanxuan's hiding place, "boom" smashed a deep hole in a tree in the distance, and the leaves were scattered in the stream under the trail, drifting down the mountain.
Not far from the tree where the chess pieces penetrated, Xuanxuan was standing on the branch, the little monkey was on her shoulder, Xuanxuan knocked on the little monkey's head, "Little apple, it's all you, the movement is too big to be discovered." The little monkey seemed to apologize, standing on his shoulder and bowing his head motionless, "Okay, okay, okay, I don't blame you, you go to the agency to change the direction of the path." Xuanxuan touched the little monkey road, and the little monkey suddenly came alive again, jumping up and down the vines and jumping into the woods.
"Master, why did you suddenly make a move, it scared me. Shen Mengsoul stood in place and seemed to be frightened by the sound of the explosion just now, Jiang Mengsheng didn't answer Shen Mengsoul, but the corners of his mouth raised, as if he knew the strangeness of this forest, there was really someone secretly doing something behind his back.
"Dream Soul, I'm tired after walking for so long, you and I can rest here for a while and then figure out a way. Jiang Mengsheng said, Shen Mengsheng nodded, and sat on the ground with Jiang Mengsheng, Jiang Mengsheng closed his eyes and meditated.
After the little monkey changed the mechanism, he changed the direction of the trail again, Jiang Mengsheng sat on the trail, suddenly opened his eyes and said, "This is it." Shen Mengsoul looked at the master and was suddenly startled and puzzled, only to see Jiang Mengsheng muttering to himself: "It's so quiet here, no matter how still, there should be a slight change, whether the wind blows or the trees move, there should be changes, but except for the stream under the bridge, the silence is too unusual.... Dream Soul, jump with me. "Master, why don't you jump down if you don't have a road, we don't have a change of clothes, what can we do when we get wet?" Shen Mengsoul said reluctantly, "Hurry up, where is so much nonsense." Jiang Mengsheng picked up Shen Mengsoul, Shen Mengsoul didn't pay attention, the little felt hat fell to the ground, Jiang Mengsheng jumped down from the trail fence, Jiang Mengsheng's body was smart, like a swimming crane, lightly touched the stream, and landed on a stone in the stream, he looked up and saw that the secret path was really like this, the bottom of the trail was like a dense gear chain, which was slowly rotating and stretching at the moment, and the trestle was changing the direction of progress at a slow speed, no wonder he would walk around and return to the same place.
"Let's go, Dream Soul, follow this stream, and you should be able to pass. Jiang Mengsheng pointed ahead and said, "Hey, master, my hat." Shen Mengsoul pointed to the bridge, "Go back, and the master will buy you another one." Jiang Mengsheng said.
Shen Mengsoul followed Jiang Mengsheng and walked forward along the gravel beach by the stream, and disappeared from sight after a while
.......
"Heck, they seem to have passed through the Bridge of Death, so let's go down there and wait for them. Xuanxuan stood on the trestle path, picked up Shen Mengsoul's little felt hat, jumped and disappeared on the bridge, and the little monkey also swung around and followed.
......
"You see, the master is right. Jiang Mengsheng and the two walked along the gravel beach, and sure enough, they walked through the woods, and out of the woods, in front of them was an empty meadow, all kinds of gorgeous and colorful flowers were blowing with the mountain breeze, so comfortable, Shen Mengsheng forgot the sulking feeling with the master on the way when he had just dropped his hat, and rushed to the grass and lay down, "Master, master, come quickly, the grass here is so comfortable." Shen Mengsheng shouted, Jiang Mengsheng shook his head, but it was time to take a break after walking for so long, Jiang Mengsheng walked to Shen Mengsoul's side and sat down and rested.
The surrounding air was so sweet, the grass mixed with the scent of various flowers, and the gentle wind made him feel that his eyelids became heavy, and a trace of sleepiness welled up in his heart.
.....
"Husband, husband, wake up, the master called us to go to dinner together. In a daze, Jiang Mengsheng was woken up by a voice, and opened his eyes in a trance, only to see a beautiful and lovely face against his face, with big watery eyes, extremely smart, "Pity.." Why are you here..."Jiang Mengsheng's head seemed to be a little swollen, and he quickly got up and pushed the woman away, "Husband, why are you like this, didn't Xin'er marry you a long time ago, did you drink too much with Senior Brother Meng last night, why did you forget this." Mercy said aggrievedly.
"Senior Brother Meng?Meng Fansheng?!Meng Fansheng is still alive?" Jiang Mengsheng stood up from the bed, "Yes, who else can drink so much besides Senior Brother Meng." Lian Xin smiled, Jiang Mengsheng waved his hand again and again: "Impossible, impossible, Senior Brother Meng has obviously been killed by the Three Evils of the South China Sea, and you..." It's been three years since they all disappeared.... How is it possible..."Before the words were finished, a hearty laugh came from outside the house: "Hahahaha, Senior Brother Jiang, isn't it too interesting for you to curse your little brother at noon." As soon as the words fell, a handsome young man walked in, very energetic, "This... Bro.. You. Jiang Mengsheng was surprised, looked at Meng Fansheng, rushed up and hugged each other, Meng Fansheng smiled and said, "Senior brother, why are you different from usual today, why are you so crooked." The mercy on the side also covered his mouth and chuckled: "Maybe your Senior Brother Jiang drank too much yesterday... Don't hug you, the master is still waiting for the two of you to have lunch. Lian Xin remembered that he had come to ask Jiang Mengsheng to see his master, and said.
Jiang Mengsheng let go of Meng Fansheng's shoulders and said suspiciously: "Master, Master Ling?", Meng Fansheng and Lian Xin smiled and said nothing.
The three of them walked out of the door, Jiang Mengsheng immediately found that the surrounding scenes were so familiar, isn't this the Xingluo Qizhuang? The three of them walked through the corridor to the main house, only to see a middle-aged man in an embroidered robe with his back to him, the man turned his head, looked at the three of them, looked at the familiar faces, Jiang Mengsheng couldn't help the thoughts in his heart, his legs bent, knelt on the ground, and tears couldn't help but flow, "This, mortal, mercy, Mengsheng, what's wrong." The middle-aged man hurriedly stepped forward and helped Jiang Mengsheng up.
"I don't know, my sister-in-law can't figure out how he did it, maybe it's because the master is going to Taishan to make an appointment, and I can't bear the master, I drank some wine last night, and I'm a little uncomfortable." Meng Fansheng rubbed his nose, saying that he didn't understand.
"Okay, okay, husband, don't cry, wait for me to let the kitchen pass the lunch, after eating, the master is going to Mount Tai to make an appointment, with the master's ability, it's not a hand-to-hand capture, Daojun, what is the Sword Emperor, the master is the best." Lian Xin smiled.
"Even if you have a small mouth and can speak, you are also blessed to marry you. Ling Wusi smiled.
Mercy grimaced and walked out of the house to serve food in the kitchen.
"Master... Lian Xin said that you want to go to Mount Tai for an appointment?" Jiang Mengsheng said puzzled.
Ling Wusi looked at the painting hanging in front of the hall, and said with a long sigh of relief: "Yes, it is time for me to meet with Liu Changsheng and Lian Xinghe at the meeting of Mount Tai." ”
"What, Master, you heard the disciple say, can you go to this meeting of Mount Tai? Jiang Mengsheng thought that after the meeting in Mount Tai, the master returned with a serious injury inexplicably, and he couldn't go out of retreat from then on, so he persuaded him.
Ling Wusi frowned, "Mengsheng, this is not like your style, I have taught you for the teacher, the way of chess is like humanity, and there is no regret when you fall, since you have already promised the Sword Monarch and the Sword Emperor, then this appointment must be accepted." ”
Meng Fansheng also smiled: "Yes, senior brother, with the master's ability, you may not necessarily lose to those two, you have to have confidence in the master." ”
"But...," Jiang Mengsheng seemed to persuade him, "But what is it?" She walked in with the food.
"Okay, Mengsheng, don't talk about it anymore, this Xingluo Qizhuang will depend on you and Fansheng in the future... Let's start with dinner. Ling Wusi said.
The four of them sat at the table, and Lian Xin kept serving Jiang Mengsheng vegetables, but Jiang Mengsheng had no appetite at all when he thought of the fact that it was happening again, and a pair of chopsticks kept rubbing on the table.
At this time, a little boy suddenly came running in from outside the door, holding a letter in his hand, and handed it to Ling Wusi, Ling Wusi opened the envelope, his brows furrowed slightly and relaxed.
"What, master, has something happened?" Meng Fansheng asked, "Hahaha, I was really fulfilled by your Senior Brother Jiang's wish, Liu Changsheng and Lian Xinghe didn't know what happened, and suddenly asked to cancel this competition, it's a pity" Ling Wusi seemed to be a little disappointed.
"Really? That's wonderful, master. When Jiang Mengsheng heard the news, he excitedly dropped his chopsticks and jumped up on the table.
Ling Wusi looked at Jiang Mengsheng, shook his head and said with a smile: "That's not all, these two people directly claimed that they lost this battle, and they are willing to admit that I am unparalleled in the world." ”
"Okay, okay, master, then wouldn't you become the supreme martial arts master, then wouldn't I be the wife of the supreme disciple of the martial arts. Lian Xin clapped his hands and smiled.
"Come, come, celebrate, I'll go get the good wine I've stolen. Meng Fansheng smiled, turned around and walked out of the room.
Just when everyone was extremely happy, Jiang Mengsheng finally breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, if the master didn't go, he wouldn't be seriously injured, and Senior Brother Meng wouldn't go overseas to find cherished herbs to help Shizun recover, nor would he be killed by the Three Evils of the South China Sea, and Senior Sister Lianxin wouldn't have collapsed and left Xingluo Qizhuang because of Senior Brother Meng's death and the master's serious injury..... It's great that it didn't happen.
"Come, taste my treasured wine. Meng Fansheng walked in with a wine jar.
The four of them raised their glasses, and the joy was very ....
A year later, Xingluo Qizhuang was respected as the first mountain villa in the world because of its prestige, and there were countless people who came and went to visit the teacher, Tan Lin's junior brother, Zongming's junior brother, and a group of descendants all seemed to have not changed and appeared one by one according to their fate.
On this day, Jiang Mengsheng was taking the new chess boy to visit the village, Jiang Mengsheng led the chess boy to the main courtyard of the village, and met the oncoming Meng Fansheng, Meng Fansheng congratulated him: "Senior Brother Jiang is really enjoying the blessings of Qi people, my sister-in-law is pregnant and is about to give birth, so I will congratulate my senior brother here in advance." ”
Jiang Mengsheng smiled kindly, as gentle as ever, "Senior Brother Meng is polite, Senior Brother is also waiting to drink Senior Brother Meng's happy wine, Senior Brother Meng has to work hard." When Meng Fansheng heard that he was facing a great enemy, he hurriedly said goodbye and ran out, Jiang Mengsheng shook his head and said with a smile: "This junior brother, he is still afraid when he mentions getting married, and he must be enlightened and enlightened another day." ”
Thinking in his heart, he turned around and continued to take the children to familiarize themselves with the courtyard, "This is the main courtyard of our Xingluo Chess Village, and other places have been introduced almost as well, you can go away first to familiarize yourself with the road just now, and then return here to gather after an hour." ”
The children dispersed happily, Jiang Mengsheng remembered that he was just as little as them, standing in the courtyard, looking at the old tree in the yard, as if he had been there before the village was built, looking at the old tree, a strange mood came to his heart, should there be something under this tree? How do you feel empty, the thoughts in my heart are getting stronger and stronger, and suddenly a void silhouette slowly emerges under the tree, Jiang Mengsheng was surprised, wiped his eyes, but found that the outline of the phantom was becoming more and more condensed, slowly showing a human figure, and the color of the figure became more and more abundant, and suddenly a child with a felt hat stood under the tree, looking at himself unconvinced and stubborn.
Jiang Mengsheng only felt that his lips were dry: "Dream... Dream Soul..." The felt child heard someone shouting himself, and happily ran towards Jiang Mengsheng, Jiang Mengsheng also stretched out his hands excitedly, just when the two were about to meet, Jiang Mengsheng suddenly found that the air around him seemed to be still, like glass shattered, he stood in the void, looking at the glass fragments floating around him, the fragments reflected himself and Meng Fansheng and the master, and the time with the merciful sister, I couldn't help but start to be confused, at this time, Meng Fansheng appeared in front of him, stretched out his hand and said:" What's the matter, Senior Brother Jiang, come back with me, Senior Brother is finally getting married, how can you not come and have a drink. Lian Xin also suddenly appeared in front of him, covering his pregnant belly with a loving face and said: "Husband, I feel that I am about to give birth, I am so scared that you are not by my side, come back and accompany me quickly." Ling Wusi on the side also suddenly appeared: "Why haven't you come back, you still can't take care of this Zhuangzi, it's really disappointing for the teacher." ”
Jiang Mengsheng looked at the three of them, only to feel that he had a headache and swelling, hugged his head and shouted: "Ahhh,,,h
The three people around him suddenly floated away like bubbles, and a light came from a distance, and he seemed to see Shen Mengsoul stretching out his hand towards him, and he also stretched out his hand....
