At the end of the banquet, Su Musha was placed in an exquisite garden to rest. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Yu Youju and his party arrived in Gusu first, and they have been properly placed in this courtyard by the county guard.

The next morning, it was just dawning.

After taking a nap, Su Mu covered his long coat and practiced in the garden, and when he was holding his breath and concentrating, he heard the sound of the temple walkers playing iron cards and knocking on the wooden fish.

Su curtain followed the prestige, standing in a corner of the garden, in the faint morning light, there is a temple tower not far from the wall, octagonal nine floors, brick body and wooden eaves, hidden in the shade of green trees.

Su Mu turned his head and saw a tree blooming in a corner of the garden.

The flowers are sprinkled, and the small white flowers are full of branches, poking their heads out of the green leaves, and a faint fragrance is emanated.

Su Mu folded two or three branches, ready to make hairpins for the little senior sister.

He returned to the pond and prepared to continue his morning class, but after the dawn was over, the quiet city of Gusu suddenly became lively.

The hawkers walked the streets and alleys, selling breakfast along the streets, and the tea soup was fragrant, which was also mixed in the morning air, so that Su Musha could no longer calm down.

Su Musha pushed open the small door of the back garden and appeared in a deep alley.

The alley is straight, flanked by high white walls, and outside is an avenue. At the mouth of the alley, there is a tea soup stall.

The morning fog had not yet lifted, and the tea stalls were surrounded by smoke.

Su curtain covered the pace of the past, out of the alley to see next to the temple tower temple gate, the original garden and the temple tower only one lane apart.

The temple gate is not big, and there are three big characters on the book, "Bao'en Temple". There is an ancient tree growing in front of the temple gate, which is lush and green.

The table of the tea stall was set up all the way there, and at the end of the seat was an old monk playing against the woodcutter.

Su Musha asked for porridge and rice, and ordered steamed pear dates, yellow cake moose, and steamed cakes, and sat next to the monk to watch the two play.

At first, he didn't care, and after bowing his head and taking a sip of porridge, when he looked at the chess game again, Su Musha saw the fame.

The woodcutter holds black, and the monk holds white.

At the beginning of the chess game, black chess was losing and retreating, and losing was inevitable, which was why Su Musha didn't care.

But when Su Musha lowered his head, the black chess, which was originally a quick loser, played a wonderful move to the peak.

not only revitalized the overall situation in one fell swoop, kept the declining trend, and even turned defense into offense, approaching the monk's vital point.

Su Musha thought that his chess strength was very strong, and it was difficult to meet opponents, but he couldn't play this move.

The old monk was also stunned, he stared at the chess game, his eyes were motionless, he was holding a chess piece in his hand, and kept rubbing it.

Su Musha also stopped his chopsticks and thought hard.

In the middle of the night, the woodcutter threw the chess pieces into the rattan chess cage, stood up and said in a chic manner: "Old monk, you think slowly, I have to fetch firewood." ”

He turned around and went to the stall to pack a few snacks and said with a smile: "Don't forget to settle the money." ”

The old monk turned a deaf ear and just stared at the chess game.

After another half of the day, the number of pedestrians on the street gradually increased.

A regular customer with a tea and soup stall saw the monk contemplating his eyebrows and said with a smile: "The old monk must have lost to the firewood again." ”

The old monk ignored them, pinched out a chess piece from the chess cage, and landed solemnly on the chessboard.

"No, no. Su Mu couldn't help but interject when he was on the side, "If you fall here, those few dead chess pieces will be alive, and if you live, you will be defeated like a mountain." ”

He picked up a chess piece, "It should land here." ”

The old monk shook his head, "It's not possible, his chess seems to be defending, but it implies an offensive, if it falls here, all the pieces below me will be taken." ”

The two argued, and tried four or five moves in a row, but they couldn't cope with the woodcutter's move.

To the east of the street, the sun slowly rose, dyed the blue tiles and white walls, and fell on Su Musha.

Su Musha came to his senses, hurriedly swallowed the cold tea soup, and asked the stall owner to pack a few snacks, then turned around and went back to the alley.

"This is also tempting ......," the old monk said, seeing that no one answered, he looked up and saw Su Musha walking towards the alley.

He shook his head, took the chess game, and said, "Check out." ”

The stall owner smiled: "Monk, the little brother just now has already ended." ”

The old monk was unexpected, "He is also an interesting person." ”

When Su Musha returned to the small building, Ye Qiudi and Shuyu were sitting in the garden pavilion with breakfast.

Seeing that he was still unsatisfied, Ye Qiudi asked him, "Who did you play against in the morning?"

"At the entrance of the alley, I met a monk playing against a woodcutter. Su Musha said, and put the picked flowers on the bun of the little sister and Shuyu.

The maids sitting on the side snickered, Su Musha threw it casually, and a flower was inserted on Huiyin's bun.

"Yikes. Huiyin laughed even more, and said with squinted eyes: "Thank you for the reward." ”

Su Musha shook his head, handed Huiyin a piece earlier, and then drove her out of her position.

He sat down and said with great interest: "I don't know whether the woodcutter's chess strength is strong or weak, but there is a trick that is wonderful......

Su Musha didn't have much interest in, and Ye Qiudi and Shuyu were also happy to say it, so they just happened to eat.

After cleaning up in the morning and entrusting the mother and son of the male loser to Yu Youju, Su Musha and his party went out.

There was a small dock in front of the door, and sure enough, by the time they went out, there was already a boat moored on the pier.

The boatman arched his hand and said, "Mr. Zhang of the Perch Pavilion invites the son to a gathering at the house and talk about the wine." ”

Su Musha nodded, "It's hard work." ”

They sailed westward, passing by stone bridge from time to time, and the pedestrians on the bridge were continuous, and the smoke from the cooking on both sides of the river did not disperse.

On the wharves on both sides of the river, fishermen are already sorting their nets.

When he was about to arrive at Taihu Lake, Su Musha stood at the bow of the boat and saw that the captain led a group of soldiers to surround a mansion, which attracted a lot of discussion among the onlookers.

Of course, Su Musha couldn't hear it, and Du Wei didn't notice Su Musha.

The boat slowly sailed into Taihu Lake in the sound of the boatman's rocking water.

The vast Taihu Lake, surrounded by mountains and rivers, the mountains wrap around the shore of the lake, and there are mountains in the lake.

Standing at the bow of the boat, looking at the blue, you know the insignificance of "parasitic mayflies in the heaven and earth, a drop in the sea".

The lake is still and there are no waves, and small boats are walking on the water, as if walking among the clouds.

Su Musha turned around and asked the boatman, "I heard that Taihu Lake was sealed a few days ago?"

"Oh, it's all a scarlet boy. The boatman shook the oar and said, "A few days ago, he gathered the bandits from all over Taihu Lake, sealed Taihu Lake, and looked for something. ”

"Looking for something?" Su Musha had some guesses in his heart, but still asked.

"The treasure of the legendary ancient Yue Kingdom. The fisherman said.

"Now that Taihu Lake is calm, could it be that those water bandits have succeeded?" asked Su Musha.

The boatman shook his head, "Not really. It was the scarlet-clothed boy who left because of something, and these bandits couldn't be found, so they slackened. ”

Ye Qiudi chuckled, "This scarlet-clothed boy is very powerful, and he can actually command the heroes of Taihu Lake." ”

"Not really. The boatman shook his head, "The boy in scarlet clothes fed the Taihu bandit leader with poison that pierced the intestines, so many people didn't dare to disobey his orders." ”

Su Musha and Ye Qiudi smiled knowingly, so it seems that the scarlet-clothed boy who won the dragon tripod on Dragon King Island should also be this person.

The boat traveled among the white clouds, and after a few miles, a small island appeared in front of it.

There are mountains on the island, and along the slopes of the mountains, there is a small village, hidden in the smoke of cooking, green forests and water mist.
