Part 2: Matching
In the forty-third year of the Tianyuan calendar of Shenzhou, it rained on Fengyun Mountain. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
Located in the north of the vast territory of Shenzhou, Xiushan is rarely visited, and only the mountain worship meeting of the ancestor of the Fengyun Mountain Dojo on his birthday decades ago is unprecedented. Nowadays, although the Fengyun Mountain Dojo is not as prosperous as it was back then, its name is still there, and many ordinary people simply settle here, and after a long time, it has gathered into a small mountain village.
There was no reliable shelter built around the mountain village, but the mysterious death of an old farmer a few years ago made the simple people of this mountain village panic inexplicably. It was the spread of panic that led to the birth of the current earthen wall in the mountain village.
The earthen walls were so thick that they surrounded the entire mountain village as a fortress. Although it was for safety, the main road into Fengyun Mountain also happened to be blocked. The cultivators of the dojo had no choice but to enter and exit from the mountain village, and simply included this border village in the protection scope of Fengyun Mountain as a place for daily purchase.
With the shelter of the blessed land of Fengyun Mountain, there are also some characters in the village and growing stronger, and some elders borrowed the name of Fengyun Mountain to give it a name - Linyun Village.
It's a hot summer, and the rain comes at the right time. For the people, the dry summer rain is the most valuable. For cultivators, this rain drives away the restlessness in the mind, and mental tranquility is beneficial to practice.
But this rain did not drive away the heat in He Zudao's heart.
As the north peak of the Fengyun Mountain Dojo, he thinks that he has a lot of attainments in both Taoism and chess, but it is not an exaggeration to describe this game of chess in front of him as a stagnation between left and right.
The opponent plays white chess, which not only occupies a vast area, but also has an aggressive chess style, which makes him a little scrambling. Besides, the other side was only a fifteen or sixteen-year-old boy, how could this not make him feel unconvinced.
"Lao He! Don't be impetuous, loose in front and tight in the back, you can think about this move for half an hour. In my opinion, it's better to vote early and admit defeat. The young man leaned on the square stool and played with seven or eight sunspots in the round box with one arm; his face was a little sickly pale, but his starry eyes shone with a strange look, and he was dressed in a green cloth robe, no different from an ordinary Taoist child. At this time, he was slightly curling his sword eyebrows, carefully tasting He Zudao's meditative demeanor, and turned his smugness into a shallow mockery.
"You bastard, it's not over yet. I still have a lot of land on the right side, so don't get too complacent. As long as this is the base, you will be able to make a comeback! Look at me!" He Zudao finally decided to play chess after holding back for a long time, his face was a little red, and he was already in a hurry.
This move was longer than half a century, and He Zudao's mind wavered, and finally slowly dropped the chess piece. Although the sound of falling children is not simply pleasant, it can be like a lifesaver for the teenager.
"This move can be regarded as breaking through the decline in the middle game, and I have a way to deal with it no matter how you go. He Zudao was very satisfied with this move, and a smile appeared on his face unconsciously.
The young man looked at the chessboard and changed his comfortable posture, and said meaningfully: "Lao He, there are no regrets about falling into the field." Otherwise, I don't know when this game of chess will go, huh!"
"Bang!" Before the young man could respond, he immediately made a move. This white piece falls in an inconspicuous corner of the upper right of the board, and at first glance has no connection to the whole game.
He Zudao's face was even more happy when he saw this, and the speed of playing chess also accelerated: "You kid also makes mistakes! This stinky chess move is lone and deep, it can be said that it is an ambush on all sides, and there is no life in nine deaths." Hahaha..."
The young man turned a deaf ear and still fell quickly, as if He Zudao was in his hands every step of the way. In less than twenty moves, He Zudao's chess momentum was slow, and for some reason the stinky chess hand of the young man in front of him became important after these few moves, and with his many years of experience in the game, this feeling of entering a swamp and moving forward was not a good sign.
"No matter what, as long as the middle and upper are connected, all your land will be lost, and it's useless to measure your kid. ”
Although it feels a little weird, He Zudao still has a deep insight into his own chess path. As the saying goes, there is giving and giving, not to mention that this only son can't go wrong. So he still focused his energy on the grappling near Tian Yuan.
"A spark can start a prairie fire. He Lao Dao, you lost again!" the young man said as he took a step.
This wonderful move made the only son who fell into the upper right position of He Zudao live, and actually destroyed the fundamental place on which he relied for survival from the inside out.
At this time, even if He Zudao wanted to desperately pull out the thorn in his eye and then try to Dongshan, it was only the end of the crossbow.
He Zudao quietly raised his head and glanced at the young man, who was also staring at He Zudao, and before He Zudao could make a move. The young man hurriedly protected the chessboard and shouted, "He Laodao, don't regret it again! I can't let you destroy the chessboard this time." ”
He Zudao was stunned for a moment, and then laughed: "Hahaha... You kid also call me 'old', but this nature really doesn't know how to respect the old and love the young. ”
The young man bent down and responded: "How can it, Master He is in the prime of spring and autumn, and he is still far from the word old." ”
"Flim tongue, I don't know who to learn from. Although He Zudao scolded vigorously, his eyes were full of love, "It's a pity..."
The young man didn't care about the pity in He Zudao's mouth, but his face was full of expectation: "I don't think it's a pity, He Laodao, you have to show me the "Asking Mood Chapter" for a day, and I am willing to lose the bet!!"
He Zudao smiled dumbly: "You bastard can see everything." As for the book, take it. After speaking, He Zudao took out an ancient book with yellowed leather pages from behind him, and the words "ask" written on the seal of the ancient book must be this thing.
The boy took the book and repeatedly touched the folds on the cover, and couldn't put it down.
He Zudao shook his head: "If there are a few disciples in the sect who are as studious as you, the future of the Fengyun Mountain Dojo will not still rely on us old things." ”
"The disciples in the dojo are all selected, Yi Chenjun and Ding Yiyun are all geniuses. These books may have been rolled into their chests for a long time. ”
"They're pretty good. He Zudao paused for a moment, and then said, "But if you comprehensively refer to the current level of Beifeng, it is still far behind." ”
The young man refused to make more excuses with He Zudao, and consciously walked out of the door a long time ago, and when He Zudao turned around, he had already stepped out of the door: "Master He, time is too precious, I won't accompany you to chat, go first." Before the words fell, the wind under the young man's feet ran into the distance.
He Zudao's outstretched hand stopped in mid-air, then shook his head and hung down again.
...
...
...
The moon stars are scarce.
He Zudao stood on the north peak and asked, shaking the dust on his body at the top of the cliff, and then the irritability of losing chess earlier added a little dullness to him, and for some reason this feeling in his heart has never disappeared recently.
He Zudao pinched the four horizontal stripes on his fingers and counted a few times, thoughtfully.
"It's not a catastrophe, but it's full of uncertainties. What the hell is going on. He muttered under his breath, "Could it be..."
He taught the way, his face was full of sadness, but it was not a good look. ”
A greeting interrupted He Zudao's thoughts. If it were someone else, He Zudao would definitely be angry. Because he is most taboo to visit at night, disturbing his cultivation. But at this time, He Zudao unexpectedly showed a smile on his face, and turned around and said: "Lu Bin! I don't know how strong the northwest wind is tonight, but it blows you; no wonder I smelled a fascinating aroma of wine in my nose just now." ”
"Hahaha... Your nose is much more than Dao Fa Ling. What's the matter? You haven't seen me for many days, and you don't think I'm not? Otherwise, why are you so sad? Lu Bin fell to the ground, carrying a wine gourd in his hand.
He Zudao approached the shoulder of Lu Bin, and looked like a rogue in the market: "I won't say much else, but I've been thinking about your wine for a long time." A fine wine has passed through the intestines, and it has been practiced for a few years?"
"I know you're hungry for wine, and I've brought you the old wine I've treasured for many years, and you smell it. Lu Bin uncorked the wine as he spoke, and a rich aroma of wine instantly overflowed.
He Zudao hurriedly covered the mouth of the gourd with his hand and said in a low voice: "Let's go, let's go in and talk." ”
The two walked side by side, came to the inner courtyard and sat down, and poured a bowl of wine. By the moonlight, it does have a unique flavor.
"Lu Laodao, what is the matter with you coming today?" He Zudao swallowed a few sips of wine, and this question was just right to blend into the intoxicated look of the wine tasting, and it did not make people feel abrupt and blamed.
Lu Bin is the law enforcement of the eastern peak of Fengyun Mountain, and he has lived in the east peak for a long time, and he will not come to the north peak to visit him on ordinary days.
Lu Bin pondered for a moment: "Well, there is indeed a matter, but it is not a big matter. ”
"Let's talk about it. ”
He Zudao has some urging meaning, he likes to get straight to the point, and his eloquent words have always disgusted him.
Lu Bin asked slowly, "Do you know that the door has not been at peace recently. ”
"I know this, it seems that there are people in the Xuan Realm who have come to make trouble. But isn't it all blocked by the door owner, is there anything to follow?"
Lu Bin pretended to be mysterious and said in a low voice: "After all, the dojo is not as good as before, and the ancestor has traveled and practiced for many years and has not returned. The Xuan Realm wanted to take advantage of the situation to include the Fengyun Mountain Dao System in his bag. ”
Lu Bin's words made He Zudao's heart tremble, the Xuan Realm and Fengyun Mountain are separated by thousands of miles, and the things that the two agree on are very different, why do they want to move the Fengyun Mountain Dao System back to the Xuan Realm? What's more, this Dao System is the foundation of the Old Ancestor Mountain Gate, how can they just give it. So he took a sip of wine and didn't respond.
"I heard that it's because of Dao Ancestor's thing. Lu Bin tapped his index finger on the table, as if he wanted to attract He Zudao's attention, "You tell me quietly, do you know where that thing is?" Old Ancestor lived in the North Peak back then, and you were always with you, so you must know best." ”
He Zudao pondered for a moment: "You and I should know that we can't talk about this matter." Besides, that was many years ago, even if the ancestor occasionally mentioned it.... How can I remember so much... Come, drink. Before he could finish speaking, he pushed back the empty wine bowl in front of him.
"You old thing, it's not interesting. Back then, everyone who knew about this was already dead, except for you and the ancestors, and if it really had something to do with that thing, you would have become a living treasure. Lu Bin was not angered by He Zudao's non-cooperation, but laughed and scolded a few times, lifted the wine gourd and filled He Zudao with a bowl of wine.
At the end of this conversation, both of them fell into a long silence, but the wine was bowl after bowl, and after three or five rounds, the whole pot of alcohol was divided.
"You also drank the wine, and I asked about it. However, this matter in the Xuan Realm is not over yet, and the debate between the two factions in the door has intensified recently, so you should also stand in line early, so as not to be isolated and helpless when you get it. Lu Bin held the wine bowl obliquely, poured the last drop of wine, and said lightly.
“... Thanks for the reminder. For some reason, Lu Bin's words made He Zudao suddenly think of the game of chess in the morning.
"It's not too early, it's true that I'll rest early tonight with wine. Lu Bin said, "Then I'll go first." However, if He Zhudao remembered where that thing was, he should have let me know earlier. Remember, remember. ”
"That's nature. Lu Lao, it's not far away. He Zudao gave off the guests lukewarmly.
"Since you have entered the rivers and lakes, you should know that many things are involuntary. Neither you nor I have the right to covet something that doesn't belong to you. So sometimes even knowing or protecting becomes a sin, and you have to do it yourself. Lu Bin seemed to be unsatisfied, he looked at He Zudao deeply for a few moments, and then bowed and bowed: "Farewell." ”
After speaking, Lu Bin's figure sprung up, like a shadow falling into the night, and disappeared in an instant.
He Zudao stared at the heavy twilight with a complicated expression, the night wind gradually rose, and the long night was wrapped in strange fluttering sounds and the friction of minions, which made him even more restless.
Although Lu Bin's words were plain, they fell into He Zudao's ears like a sharp blade, the blade was not opened, but the sword qi was already shocking. The powerful relationship must be unbearable for a small person like him, and for a while, He Zudao actually had some fearful emotions, and he was speechless for a while, and finally he could only return to the house in a huff, and took out a few large pots of wine out of nowhere.
The sound of gurgling drinking kept ringing, and he wanted to forget all the past...
