The day after Sun Siyan left, I received my first assignment from the department. Instead of going to the northeast immediately to find the whereabouts of Master, I was sent to an old house on the outskirts of the city to find someone.
This person was angry and weird, and he used to be a member of the department, but later he left the department for unknown reasons, and people from this sect were placed in the suburbs of the city. I can't leave or walk around at will. In fact, to put it bluntly, I am imprisoned and imprisoned. This time, the department was willing to lose face because it had no choice.
But these people didn't want to come, so they pushed me out.
As the saying goes, newborn calves are not afraid of tigers, anyway, I don't know people of this school. For the sake of Master, I agreed without even thinking about it.
I was accompanied by Uncle Black Eagle, which I did not expect. After a few incidents, I really couldn't get close to Uncle Heiying, but I understand that there are always departmental rules, and it is impossible to change just because of me alone. I don't agree with the department's approach, and the department is also very dissatisfied with me. If it weren't for the imminent matter of Master, they would not have let me join the department easily.
Speaking of which, my ability is not enough to get in touch with the inner core of the department. Even so, I am now the last hope in the department. They still tried to find Zhou Yang, whom they had always respected, through me.
Depart early in the morning, drive for about an hour, and get off at the place. Walking to the door of the old house, staring at the plaque in the middle of the house, the red paint on it is very worn out, and the gold-plated characters also have the experience of wind and rain. Uncle Heiying stopped the car and called me, "Xiaojin!"
I glanced back at him, and Uncle Heiying walked up to me in a few steps, "It's not convenient for me to enter this place, and the higher-ups hope you can convince him! With his help, you might be able to relax a bit."
I nodded and replied, "Understood!" I looked up and looked at the four gold characters on the plaque, "Liuyun Zhaifang" took a deep breath, and raised my hand to knock on the door.
At this time, the door opened involuntarily.
I poked my head in, but no one was there. Two feet stepped into the door, and with a sound of "pop!", the door was tightly closed again. I have learned Taoism with my master for so long, and I have seen many ancient monsters, but there are no ghosts here, even if there are, there is only Su Muyan who has been staying in the blood soul jade.
I don't think this door has anything to do with ghosts, I'm just curious, what kind of mechanism is set up for this door, and it can still close automatically. Even in the stone chamber under the celestial burial platform in Sera Monastery, the stone gate there was ingeniously designed, but it still required human power to move it.
This door is really amazing!
I didn't have time to figure it out, so my eyes were attracted by the chessboard on the stone table in the yard.
There was no one around, and the door was closed tightly. I turned around and didn't know where to go. I yelled a few times, except for the occasional birds flying overhead, the cicadas on the trees gave me some responses.
I rubbed my head, and in the end I could only sit in front of the chessboard and stare at it.
My master and I have learned a lot of Taoism, but we are really not very proficient in Go. Except for a few times when I was a child and the old bus in the village, I never touched him again.
Lao Ba is really a stinky chess player, and he is not particularly good at chess. He is also very good at chess. All the children in the village were caught by him to play chess with him. Naturally, I'm no exception, but I always play indiscriminately, which makes him angry. Later, no matter how old Qi Yin was, he was unwilling to play chess with me.
Thinking of that time, I couldn't help a smile from the corner of my mouth.
I feel that time goes by like a white horse, and it is too late to say goodbye when I slip away in a hurry.
Suddenly a sense of nostalgia stuck in my heart, and the days I was away were far more than when I was at home. I missed those neighbors and my family very much.
After I sat down, I took the white chess pieces, stared at the chessboard, and started to play wildly according to some Go games that old Bashi told me in my memory. It's boring anyway!
Su Muyan stood behind me, put one hand on my shoulder, and watched quietly. When there are no outsiders, she will always stand by my side. I like her like this and enjoy her time by my side.
I played chess by myself, and after a while, the door on the left suddenly opened, and a little boy came out, wearing a white robe, and said in a childlike voice, "Where did you come from, you don't know the rules!"
I smiled and looked at him, that chubby little face was somewhat similar to that of Er Pang when he was a child.
"My child, where is the owner of this house?"
The little boy was very upset when he heard me call him that, puffed his cheeks and said angrily, "The old man will be 100 years old next month, who are you calling a child!"
"One hundred years old?" I walked in front of him, half a body taller than him, and couldn't help laughing, "Hahaha, do you think I'm an idiot? I said kid, it's not good to lie and deceive people! "
Su Muyan pulled me from behind and whispered in my ear, "I heard that the holy boy of Liuyunmen is very talented. The child who was selected as the holy boy was given a special drug since he was a child. The purpose is to prevent their bodies from growing up and have more emotions and desires. Maybe what he said is true, and the person you are looking for may be him!"
I raised my eyebrows and carefully looked at the little boy in front of me. He was about ten years old, not tall, with bright eyes and a bright red face. Is he the weird old man that Uncle Black Eagle mentioned
I can't believe that such a small child is almost a hundred years old. If my master is like that, I can still believe that his face is not old because of practicing Taoism. But such a child...
Hearing Su Muyan's words, the little boy also glanced a few times, showing a little surprise, "You just experienced a ghost disaster?" Then he looked at me again, "Ghost marriage? Or two women? Hehe, when does the department work? Are you so bold?"
The little boy rubbed his chin and turned around in front of us, "Huh? I think I've seen you before, when did I see you?" The little boy thought for a long time, then suddenly patted his forehead, "Ah, I remembered. , you are Zhou Yang's fiancée! Zhou Yang brought you here to ask to see my master, but unfortunately, you are from the department. I didn't expect you to die! Then who are you?"
The little boy turned his gaze to me, "Although you are very similar to Zhou Yang, Zhou Yang is a man, you are not Zhou Yang, right! Who are you?"
Su Muyan said softly, "Mr. Xiao has a really good memory. Hearing what you said, I also have some reflections. But that is all in the past. Today we are here to ask Mr. Xiao for help."
The little boy refused without thinking, "I'm sorry, we Liuyunmen don't like to get involved in worldly affairs, please go back! Tell the people above that we Liuyunmen don't have much ability, we are just ignorant sects, Let them find another talent!"
Hearing Su Muyan's explanation of his purpose, the little boy turned around angrily and went back to the room, closing the door tightly with a snap.
I was a little baffled. As soon as the door on this side was closed, the door on the right opened again. It was the little boy just now who came out and asked, "Where did you come from, a wild girl who doesn't know the rules!"
I froze for a few seconds and realized something was wrong.
He looked at the closed door on the left, and then at the little boy in front of him, "How come they are exactly the same? Are they the same person, or are they twins?"
Su Muyan also shook her head, "I don't know, but it seems a bit weird! Be careful!"
I answered the same question as before, and the little boy repeated the same question and answer as before. I didn't sit down on the stone pier until he also closed the door. Something was wrong!
It's just that I sat down, and the door facing me opened, and the little boy just came out again, "Where did you come from, you wild girl, you don't know the rules!"
Now I didn't have the mood to talk to him, so I asked directly, "Who are you?" But in my heart and in my mind, I obviously wanted to say this sentence, but the exit came out, "Child, this house Who is the owner of?"
I hurriedly covered my mouth, a little surprised. What I said was not controlled by my own brain, and the exact same answer seemed to be copied by someone else.
Su Muyan's answer was the same.
I took a look at Su Muyan, she shook her head slightly, and I thought to myself: What a hell, but there is no ghost here!
"It shouldn't be some kind of ghost. It's very likely that we were caught when we came in!" Su Muyan also answered my question silently in her heart.
There are three doors in total, and now they are opened and closed one by one, and there is no movement.
I touched the chessboard on the stone table with one hand, stared at the chess pieces on the table in a daze, and suddenly understood.
"There is a problem with this chess!"
The arrangement on the chessboard is like this courtyard, surrounded by black pieces on three sides, and gathered white pieces on one side, where there are black pieces, the white pieces are swallowed up, just like three gates, blocking the white pieces.
"Can you play chess?" I asked.
Su Muyan nodded, "Knowledgeable, not proficient!"
"No matter how proficient you are, it's better than me, a 250-year-old layman! Why don't you come here!"
I made room for Su Muyan to sit down, but as soon as Su Muyan got the chess pieces, he immediately threw them away, and a golden light suddenly appeared on these chess pieces.
There was a red mark on Su Muyan's palm, and I held her hand in distress, "How could this happen?"
"It should be a chess piece made of ox bone. It has absorbed sunlight for many years, and the sun energy is too heavy! Now, you come to play, and I will tell you how to play!"
I touched Su Muyan's hand and nodded, "Alright!"
