Sangsang took the green pear and lowered his head to eat it. He found that the pear was very sweet, with a lot of juice inside. The strangest taste was very strange, and it felt like it melted in the mouth. He couldn't help but be stunned.
She raised her head, handed the remaining half of the pear to Ning Que, and said, "You eat it very sweet."
From childhood to adulthood, they both got used to eating any delicious food, and they would eat it separately. Ning Que didn't care about the saying of dividing pears. He took half of the green pear and swallowed it in a few bites.
Master Qishan didn't seem to have expected that even an ordinary green pear would be eaten separately. He couldn't help but be stunned, then shook his head and said, "Let's start."
Sangsang still chose black chess.
Under the vineyard in front of the hut, the square chessboard was made of some materials. It looked like iron and had a cold and hard smell, but when the chess piece fell on it, there was no sound.
Just as Sangsang's fingertips left the black chess piece, something strange happened.
Her eyes suddenly became a little confused, and then her eyes slowly closed.
Her eyelashes didn't blink, and she seemed to fall asleep like this!
...
...
Ning Que's pupils shrank slightly, and every hair on his body stood up.
The cool autumn wind was walking through his hair, stimulating his mind like ice.
He stared at Master Qishan's eyes, his right five fingers gradually gathered, and he clenched into a fist in mid-air, which could just fit into a knife handle, and his tail finger was trembling at a very small amplitude and was always ready to pull out the Pu behind him.
knife.
"Don't be nervous." Master Qishan said: "She is just tired, so she goes to the dream for a while."
Ning Que sensed Sangsang's situation and found that her breathing was very smooth, even more smooth than usual. Apart from this, there was nothing unusual, and it seemed that she was just asleep.
"What's going on?" he asked in a cold voice.
Master Qishan smiled and said, "This will be good for her body."
Sangsang, who fell asleep bizarrely, seemed to feel really comfortable. His eyebrows, which were often slightly frowning due to pain, were very relaxed and he did not cough. Ning Que put his hand on her wrist and found that the cold and cold breath in her body also became very
Calmness is not as often as usual, I feel a little relieved.
But in the end, there is no way to feel completely at ease.
He stared into Master Qishan's eyes and asked again: "What's going on."
Master Qishan looked at the chessboard in front of him and said, "You should have heard of the legend of Lanke Temple. The chessboard you see now is the chessboard used by the old monks in the legend that they used to play chess."
Ning Que said: "Who stayed this chessboard?"
Master Qishan said: "Buddha."
Ning Que felt suddenly nervous when he thought of that legend.
"Why did Sangsang play chess with this chessboard? I only knew before that the end of the three games of Washan was hosted by Master Dongming. At that time, this chessboard was definitely not used."
Master Qishan said: "You should treat it as the Buddha's test on her."
Ning Que said: "We are here to treat diseases, not to seek Buddha's attention, so why do we need to be tested by Buddha?"
Master Qishan said: "If only Buddha can cure her illness. Then do you ask for it or not?"
After Ning Que was silent for a long time, he asked, "Is she in danger?"
Master Qishan said: "There is no danger."
Ning Que suddenly thought of some possibility and said in a slight voice: "But she will be in pain."
Master Qishan said: "If she is in pain, you can naturally feel it."
Ning Que asked, "What should I do next? Can't I play this game of chess?"
Master Qishan looked at the lonely black chess on the chessboard. He took out a white chess from the chess jar next to him and gently landed in the position facing the black chess, saying, "This game of chess has begun."
.”
...
...
Time gradually passed, autumn gradually moved westward, and Washan Cave House was shrouded in a tense and mysterious atmosphere. No one knew what was happening on the chessboard, so why Sangsang only lost one son.
Have a dream.
Ning Que almost lost his patience several times. He just thought about the respect and trust Sangsang showed to Master Qishan before making a move. He forced himself to suppress his anxiety and continued to wait silently.
There are still only those two pieces on the chessboard.
Ning Que did not look at the chessboard, but just looked at Sangsang's face, paying attention to whether she showed a discomfortable expression. Has her breath changed and whether her body showed abnormalities.
He looked at it very seriously, carefully and attentively, his eyes never blinked, and he did not miss the slight tremors of every eyelash on Sangsang, although those slight tremors were all blowing by the autumn wind in the mountains.
Mo Shanshan stood outside the Lumen Gate and quietly looked at the expression on Ning Que's face. She looked very carefully and attentively. On the stone bench next to the mountain road, the Prince of Nanjin stared at Mo Shanshan's beautiful side face with a focused expression.
, occasionally showing obsession and depression.
If the world is a big chess board, and everyone is a piece on the chess board, then no one can escape and they all want to watch the other person they want to watch unless you no longer have any attachment to the world.
The flower cynic Lu Chenjia looked at the people inside and outside the cave hut in silence. A sarcastic smile suddenly flashed on the dull and indifferent beautiful faces. Then she left the cave hut and returned to the Buddha statue on the top of the mountain.
The Buddha's stone statue is very tall, even if it is just a toe, it is much bigger than her.
Lu Chenjia stood on the tail finger of the Buddha statue, gently tidied his fluttering hair behind his ears, looked upwards, and was shook by the autumn sunny, and his eyes narrowed.
The Buddha's face appeared faintly in the clouds, looking at the foot of the mountain silently, not looking at a specific individual person, but looking at everyone struggling in the world, so he seemed supreme compassion.
Lu Chenjia looked at it for a long time before retracting her gaze. She saw a small white flower in a small crack at the front of the nails under the Buddha's stone statue, and then lowered her body and picked it down.
...
...
Sangsang stood on a mountain in a daze.
There is a small town at the foot of the mountain. You can vaguely hear the sound of children playing and playing inside. You can see the waterwheels by the stream outside the town. Just at noon, you can smell the fragrance of food.
She knew that this was not the real world, because in this world, there was no Ning Que around her, but she could not confirm whether this world was the world on the chessboard, because she was looking at the world itself, and there was no chessboard.
When she found herself standing on this mountain, it was late at night. When the smoke from cooking was rising in the morning, she went down the mountain, walked around the town, and then walked back to the mountain again, found a tree, and continued to stare blankly.
She was not going to leave because she was far away and she didn't know if she could find her way back. If Ning Que wanted to come to this world to find him, she should stand there waiting for him.
This was when he was very young. Before Ning Que went out to hunt or do something else, he would always repeatedly remind her that no matter what happened, he would not leave the place, because that would make him unable to find her.
.
At that time, Sangsang would confirm it every time: Will you definitely come back to find me? Ning Que said of course, so Sangsang felt relieved and stood there in a hurry as he asked.
...
...
Sangsang stood for a long time, and for a long time she had forgotten how long she finally had. She only remembered that the sun set and the birth had repeated countless times, the rain, snow, frost and wind had rotated countless times, and the sound of firecrackers celebrating in the town had also sounded many times.
These people seem to have many happy events to do. Sangsang thought to himself, Ning Que has not found herself for so long, and she can't be happy even if she listens to the firecrackers. Time continues to pass, Sangsang is still waiting, her feet are sore when she stands
She sat down and rested for a while. When she was sleepy, she leaned against the tree for a while.
There were two nests of ants under the tree. Sangsang and Ning Que were really bored, so they started watching the ants moving or fighting. After watching them many times, the members of the two ant nests had changed a few hundred times.
She finally discovered these ants or moved some interesting places.
The two nests of ants crawl at the same speed, and the distance from the tree is exactly the same. The place where honey is overflowing on the tree is different every time. Sometimes one nest of ants can go straight, while the other nest of ants must bypass the water.
The ants that go in a curve can collect honey first.
The shortest straight line between two points.
Sangsang thought silently that this is the rule that the world wants to tell itself.
There are towns in this world, there are people in towns, there are mountains, there are beasts and trees in the mountains, there are birds on the trees, there are water, winds and clouds, there are suns and nights, and there are rules in nature.
Sangsang never went down the mountain, but because she had too much time to see and think, she gradually mastered many rules in this world, such as the light was warm and the night was cold, which was very meaningless.
Some rules are even more sad.
In addition to setting off firecrackers during weddings, firecrackers will also be set off at funerals. Sangsang stood on the mountain and watched the children in the town gradually grow old, become sick, and then die, disappear without a trace with firecrackers.
The ashes of firecrackers were swept up by the wind, floating from the graves outside the town, and kept moving forward around the mountains until they gradually faded. Sangsang noticed that every time the wind came from a place, the ash smoke floated.
The direction of the journey is exactly the same, as if an arrow is directing it, always moving forward.
She understood that this was the rule of time.
Time goes forward, no one can stop.
...
...
Sangsang is still on the mountain.
There are woodcutters going up the mountain to chop wood, and children going up the mountain to grazle sheep. For countless years, many people have walked by the trees, but no one can see her. There are even three generations of yellow cows tied under the tree, but no object can touch her.
She really exists in this world. In addition to being unable to influence each other with this world, she is still bound by the rules of this world, so she will be tired, tired, cold and hot.
Of course, there are some rules that cannot be restrained - she has never eaten, but she has never been hungry.
She remembered the legend of Lanke Temple that Ning Que had told her - the woodcutter named Wang Zhi ate a steamed bun, so she spent a hundred years next to the chessboard under the tree, but she had never been hungry.
Sangsang didn't eat steamed buns, but she just ate a green pear.
Then she understood something, walked to the edge of the cliff, and jumped down.
