On the second day, Ah Dong's health improved a little, and he was so bored staying in the house, Ah Bei went out with him for a walk. The two walked around the boulevard and saw the white stone chessboard. Ah Bei touched his head and said, "Brother , why don't I play a game of chess with you to relieve boredom?"

Wangchuan Palace is located on the Wangchuan Peak surrounded by mountains. Most of the palace people live on the mountainside, only Ling Jiuzhong lives on the top of the peak. At that time, climb from the mountainside to the peak, where the clouds and mist are shrouded, like the place of immortals.It's a pity that Ling Jiuzhong is not some extraterrestrial expert, he is just the leader of the Demon Cult that everyone in the world can punish.

And this white stone chessboard is set at the fork in the road from the bottom of the peak to the halfway up the mountain. The ancient trees cover the sky and the sun is blowing, and the cool breeze is gentle. It is a good place to enjoy the coolness and relieve boredom in summer.There are often elders in the palace who come here to play chess. Many years ago, occasionally Ling Jiuzhong came down from the peak and passed by here to play chess with others.

Now that Ah Bei said so, Ah Dong just nodded lightly, and the two sat down. Ah Bei was a rough man who had no chess skills, so he just walked a few steps indiscriminately. , no matter where he goes or who he sees, he always keeps his head down, unless someone asks him a few words, he only raises his head to answer, otherwise he always looks cautious.Ah Bei couldn't remember when he first met Shisan, but in his impression he had just been picked up by Li Su, so he seemed to have this number.Later, I also heard others say that the Shisan family has been the palace people of Wangchuan Palace for generations, the status of the parents is lower, and both of them are handymen. In the past, he only did some chores in the palace. Lu Yifan appreciated him, and saw that he had the ability to never forget, so he made an exception and promoted him to the cabinet, and renamed him Thirteen.

Ah Bei and Shisan are acquainted because he has made several appearances for Shisan.This man has no martial arts. In Wangchuan Palace, where the weak prey on the strong, he will inevitably be bullied by the people in the palace. Everyone in the pavilion has a good appearance, but Shisan is extremely ordinary, and he doesn't dare to talk to others. As a servant, you have to suffer some hardships.

At this time, Ah Bei saw Shisan, very excited, and shouted at him:

"Thirteen, come here!"

Shisan raised his head and was naturally happy when he saw it was Ah Bei. He was even cautious about being happy, only nodded slightly, and walked over quickly.

Ah Bei gave up his seat and said:

"You have read so many books, you must be better at chess than me, do me a favor, play a game with my elder brother, I really can't hold it anymore!"

Thirteen couldn't help laughing:

"What's the point? What's the relationship between reading and playing chess?"

Ah Bei clutched his stomach and told the truth:

"Okay Shisan, help me, I'm going to the latrine, I'll be here in a moment!" As soon as the voice fell, the person disappeared.

Thirteen looked at the direction he was leaving, and slowly retracted his gaze. Without thinking about it, he only made one pawn, and brought the whole chess game back to life.

A Dong was not surprised, he made another move. Shisan was obviously not thinking about the chess game. He took out a small package from his arms and handed it to A Dong: "Go back that day, I took the medicine according to the prescription, you go Afterwards, fry it every day, take it once in the morning and evening, and it should improve."

A Dong shook his head:

"It's terminally ill, it won't get better."

Shisan raised his eyes and looked at him. This time, his eyes no longer showed cowardice and humbleness. They still looked normal. His facial features were dull, but his eyes were full of dazzling brilliance. His eyes flickered and he looked A Dong up and down for a moment. Lowering his eyes, he said in a voice that only the two of them could hear: "Your life is not long. You know you shouldn't provoke me, so why take the risk? Some people, once infected, will die."

A Dong lightly lowered his hand and said:

"I'm not afraid of dying, I'm afraid he will be sad."

Thirteen gave a rare sigh, lightly, as if silently:

"Just a few nights is enough to ruin your life. You have to think about it. You have been passionate since ancient times, but you have been ruthless. After you die, who will miss you and go to your grave every year to burn incense? These medicines are for life. You go back on time. Drink it, don't act rashly."

Thirteen gave birth to his last child, and then he said goodbye and left. A Dong looked down and couldn't help but smile bitterly. He walked five steps in total, and each step was wonderful. Now he is like a bereaved dog, unable to return to heaven.

Ah Bei came back at this time, probably physically and mentally liberated, and very happy. He quickly approached Ah Dong, but he did not see Thirteen, but only his elder brother. I played chess with you, but I ran away halfway." Looking closely at the chess game again, I couldn't see any subtleties, but there were five more pips, so I said again: "It took only five steps in a long time? I really found a mistake I'm dead." Seeing that A Dong had already got up and had no intention of staying any longer, he also stood up immediately and looked at the chess game. For some reason, he felt that it was quite an eyesore, so he moved two pieces at will, and felt that the whole thing looked much better. Only then excitedly followed A Dong, clamoring to go see A Xi together.

Not long after the two of them left, a human voice came from the mountain road in the distance. After listening carefully, it turned out that it was Lu Yifan of Yunzong Pavilion who was talking, with a respectful attitude: "There has been no movement in the Tianyi Sect in recent days. Some close followers went to find the Blood Knife of the Western Regions, and after a fierce battle, the Blood Knife of the Western Regions couldn't hold on and died on the spot."

The other person remained calm, so Lu Yifan didn't dare to say any more. The two slowly descended from the mountain path, followed by many hidden guards of Yunzong Pavilion, who were hiding and did not show their faces.

When he passed the white stone chessboard, Ling Jiuzhong paused. He hadn't come down for many years. If something big happened, the other road was steeper but faster.Unexpectedly, there would be such a scene, he glanced at Lu Yifan, and the other party's eyes were full of panic: "Today, when the subordinates went up to meet the lord, they passed by this place, this... This chess game is just as normal as usual. "

Ling Jiuzhong was rarely silent, and he held his breath. This sudden line of sight might make him uneasy, as if he was walking between the sky and the earth, but he had to keep calm, he was afraid that he would go crazy and startle the snake, and he was even more afraid that he would end up in a panic. Liang Yi's dream came to nothing.

Ling Jiuzhong looked at Lu Yifan again. The other party was wiping his sweat while hesitantly trying to say something. His chess skills are not bad. In Wangchuan Palace, if Ling Jiuzhong was looking for someone to play against, it would probably be him.But today's chess game, he really can't understand it, the twists and turns are true, but the last two pieces are simply failures, I don't know if someone did it on purpose, or it was a coincidence, and they walked out of the current situation on the chessboard at will.

Lu Yifan was very confused. If those two sons hadn't been manipulated like that, he could almost be sure that this was a rare game of masters.

Ling Jiuchong also hated those two seeds, they woke him up, and he instantly regained his usual decisiveness, and the tenderness in his heart was swept away: he would never leave like this, just like Wangchuan Palace. Even if he was a ghost, he wouldn't bother to look at this filthy place, let alone stepping here alive, it would be a dream come true!
