The chivalrous spirit is fickle

Shen Yue raised her eyebrows slightly, then put away the Strange Stone Order with a smile on her face. When she was about to get up and leave, she heard Wan Ye calling her softly.

"Miss Shen, can I...can I ask a question?"

Shen Yue looked back and saw that Wan Ye was still with his head down, no longer as arrogant as before.

"I want to know why Miss Shen started playing chess?"

After Shen Yue heard this, she thought about it seriously, then smiled and said.

"When I was a kid, I was trapped in a very small place. The yard was very small. Looking up from the bottom, there was only a square sky."

"At that time, I was lying in the yard, looking at the stars in the sky, and I liked to draw the sky as a chessboard and the stars as chess pieces."

"But I didn't know how to play chess at that time. I just wanted to fill the chessboard up because I thought there should be a star in those places where there were no stars."

After saying that, Shen Yue skipped away with the full set of strange stone orders in her arms, not trying to hide her happiness at all.

Everyone looked at Shen Yue's back, thinking about her previous answer, and smiled knowingly. This little girl was so innocent and lovable.

Wan Ye stared at Shen Yue's back in a daze, thinking about her previous answer, with a glimmer of longing in his eyes.

The crowd dispersed quietly, no one laughed at Wanye. Shigu might never care about other people's ridicule, but Xuanmingsi was obviously not like that, so naturally no one dared to say anything more.

Wanye sat in front of the chessboard, looking at the chess game that he had disrupted. He reached out and picked up the chess pieces on the board one by one and put them into the chess box.

Perhaps he had long forgotten that playing chess was supposed to be fun.

Win or lose, the meaning of playing chess is that the game should be interesting to both parties.

Suddenly, a figure appeared in front of Wanye. Wanye was startled and turned his head to look, only to see Su Xun standing behind him, silent.

Wanye's body trembled uncontrollably. He lowered his head in shame, not daring to look up at Su Xun, and said in a guilty voice.

"Master, I have embarrassed you."

"Master, please punish me."

Hearing this, Su Xun frowned slightly, raised his hand high, then gently lowered it, touched Wanye's head, and spoke softly.

"If you lose, you lose. Just admit it."

"Just do your best."

Wan Ye's body trembled, and he looked up at Su Xun in surprise. However, Su Xun had already turned around, with his back to Wan Ye, and walked away. Only his voice fell into his ears with the sound of the wind.

"I, your master, am not the best in the world, so why should I force my apprentice to be the best in the world?"

As he spoke, Su Xun suddenly stopped, looked at the peach blossoms falling all over the sky, sighed softly, and spoke slowly.

"You're a smart kid. You know I don't like your temper."

"But if I hate you, how can I accept you as my disciple?"

After saying that, Su Xun walked away, leaving only his back. Wan Ye looked at Su Xun's back with a complicated expression. He bowed deeply towards Su Xun's back and murmured in a low voice.

"master……"

Chapter 59: Charity House (I)

"Master! Master!"

Shen Yue was holding a full set of strange stone orders. As soon as she stepped out of the chess path, she bumped into Shi Gu. She didn't care about the pain on her forehead and excitedly showed Shi Gu the strange stone order in her arms. She said happily.

"Master, I won!"

Seeing this, Shi Gu smiled gently, stretched out his hand to touch Shen Yue's little head, and praised softly.

"My girl is really amazing."

These words, which were like coaxing a child, were very helpful to Shen Yue. She narrowed her eyes, smiled, and even stood on tiptoe, wanting Shi Gu to touch her head.

Shi Gu wanted to take the strange stone order from Shen Yue's arms, but Shen Yue gave him a cold look. Then she ran away quickly with the full strange stone order in her arms.

"Master, I will go tell Xiaoxue the good news."

Shi Gu looked at Shen Yue with a strange expression. He felt like a fisherman who had caught a big fish, but did not keep the fish away, but had to hold it in his hand for everyone on the street to see.

Su Xue was on the calligraphy path, but Shen Yue chose the longest way and went around in a circle. Seeing this, Shi Gu shook his head slightly, then turned and walked out of the crowd.

With the breeze blowing on his face, Shi Gu walked slowly in the peach garden, slightly raised his eyebrows, and looked at the crowd from afar.

The cup of poisoned wine that Su Xun had drunk was just like clear water. After passing through his body, it disappeared into thin air.

The crowd was surging, and the competition of music, chess, calligraphy and painting was still going on, but Shi Gu did not step forward, nor did he have any intention of stepping into the crowd. He just looked at the crowd, as if he was looking for someone.

Shi Gu needed some help, some help he could trust.

However, Shi Gu searched the crowd for a long time but still couldn't find the person he was looking for. He frowned slightly and was about to turn around and leave Taoyuan.

Suddenly, a gaze swept over and fell on Shi Gu. Shi Gu frowned and looked back.

I saw a handsome young man in white clothes, with sword-like eyebrows and bright eyes, striding towards Shi Gu.

Yulin League, Shen Zhui.

Shen Zhui's face was gloomy and extremely ugly. In today's chess battle, he thought Wan Ye would win and teach Master Shi Gu a lesson. Then he would come out and humiliate them.

But he didn't expect that Wan Ye actually lost, and lost so miserably. The most important thing was... he saw the intimacy between Miss Fo Jiu and Shi Gu.

The most beautiful woman in the world, the most beautiful woman in the world, Shen Zhui can say a lot of praises about these beautiful women in the world, and he has also seen many beauties.

Since childhood, those beauties would take the initiative to greet him, but Shen Zhui had never been moved.

Beauty is like a knife. Shen Zhui believes that he has a destiny and has never stopped for women. He walks through a sea of ​​flowers without getting hurt by a single leaf.

The world is full of mediocre women, and no one is worthy of him.

The stunning beauty was nothing but a skeleton in disguise. He found her boring after just one look.

He always thought so until he met Fojiu for the first time.

No matter how many years have passed, Shen Zhui still clearly remembers the scene when he first met Fo Jiu.

It was snowing heavily at that time. Fojiu was wearing a light blue monk's robe, holding a Zen stick, walking on the snow, chanting scriptures softly.

Under the white snow, there were dead bones everywhere, and the resentment was as solid as substance. Fo Jiu just chanted scriptures and walked through the snow mixed with the resentment of the dead bones.

The Buddha's light shines everywhere, and lotus flowers bloom everywhere.

The filthy resentment was swept away by the sound of chanting, and the dry bones hidden under the snow turned into countless golden butterflies, which emerged from the snow and danced around Fo Jiu.

At that time, Shen Zhui watched the vast sea of ​​grievances being swept away by the Buddha's light. A lotus blossomed, and a fair, beautiful little face appeared in his pupils, surpassing all other colors.

From that moment on, Shen Zhui swore to himself that he must get Fo Jiu.

Anyone who dares to stand in his way will die.

Step, step, step.

Shen Zhui stopped and looked at Shi Gu who was so close to him. His eyes were as fast as lightning and swept over him coldly, as if he was looking at a corpse.

He put his hands behind his back and spoke in a condescending and cold voice as he always did.

"I don't know what despicable means you used to make Wanye lose so miserably."

"But I want to remind you that Miss Fojiu is a different person from you. If you dare to get close to Miss Fojiu again, I would rather break the rules than give up the Dragon Rock and Phoenix Branch, I will tear you into pieces!"

Shi Gu looked quietly at Shen Zhui in front of him, examining him carefully, examining his eyebrows and eyes again and again. After a moment, he shook his head and spoke softly to Shen Zhui.

"You are not worthy of Xiaojiu."

Shen Zhui's expression became even uglier. He took a step forward, grasping the hilt of the sword with his right hand, and spoke in a cold voice.

"I'm not lying. Someone as filthy as you shouldn't be around her."

"I don't care what happened to you in the past, but from today on, I won't allow you to get close to Miss Fo Jiu again."

The murderous aura filled the air, and Shigu could sense that Shen Zhui was not lying, he was serious. In addition to the overwhelming murderous aura, there was also a crazy possessiveness and jealousy that was about to solidify into substance.

Shi Gu sighed, without even looking at Shen Zhui, turned around and left, leaving only a few words in a strange tone.

"You are so obsessed. You really love yourself."

Shen Zhui's face changed slightly, and when he was about to catch up, he found that among the scattered peach blossoms, there was no trace of Shi Gu.

……

At the same time, in the alleys of Huiyin City, Xiaojiu, wearing a light blue monk's robe, holding a Zen stick, with his chin slightly lowered, his right palm upright in front of his chest, constantly fiddling with a string of black Buddhist beads.

Xiaojiu's lips moved slightly, but she kept chanting Buddhist scriptures. The scriptures were obscure and difficult to understand. Every word and every pronunciation was impossible to understand.

However, on the road where Xiaojiu walked, petals were scattered. The petals were as thin as gauze, and seemed to be just an illusion, hazy and not like the real thing.

It's strange to say, Xiaojiu's appearance is extremely beautiful, and today she is not wearing a veil to cover her, but no one looks at her, as if she is just an ordinary passerby.

Amid the clamor, no one could hear Xiaojiu's chanting, so she just walked slowly.

The sunlight fell, casting a shadow behind Xiaojiu. That shadow was mixed with the shadows of others and could not be distinguished.

However, from a perspective where no one could see, ghosts emerged little by little from the footprints that Xiaojiu had left, gathered together, and finally drilled into Xiaojiu's shadow.

Those ghosts have no evil thoughts or hostility, as if they are just a trace of regret left in the world.

Not knowing what he heard from the ghost's remnant, Xiaojiu turned the Buddhist beads, his eyes slightly strange, and walked step by step towards the charity cemetery in Huiyin City.

Chapter 60: Charity House (Part 2)

There are no immortals in the sky, and there is no underworld underground.

Xiaojiu remembered that when she was little, Shigu once told her that most of the legends in this world were false, the sky was a boundless starry sky, and the entire human world was just a grain of sand in that starry sky.

Similarly, there is no underworld underground, but there is reincarnation.

Deep underground, there is a sea of ​​fire that never goes out. In the sea of ​​fire, there is a huge stone called the Sansheng Stone.

When all living beings die, they will go to the Three Lives Stone and be reincarnated again, but just like a clod of earth will drop sand, the three souls and seven spirits will also leave residues in the mortal world.

The soul of a living being will continue to wear out. When the soul is damaged too much, it will not be able to reincarnate. Only a few remnants will remain, wandering the world, without any heart or feeling, and eventually completely annihilated.

Before annihilation, the remaining images of those souls become ghosts.

Xiaojiu took light steps and chanted scriptures, with countless ghosts following her in a trance.

Countless noisy and hoarse voices echoed in Xiaojiu's ears, chaotic and crazy, as if the devil was whispering in her ear, ready to pull her into the endless abyss at any time.

Xiaojiu has already reached the ninth level of martial arts, but he cannot underestimate the chaotic and crazy whispers. He can only hold his breath and concentrate to keep his mind clear.

A moment later, Xiaojiu, surrounded by countless ghosts, arrived at the charity cemetery in Huiyin City, but saw only ruins and broken walls.

Seeing this, Xiao Jiu frowned slightly, looked at the ruins, and chanted scriptures in a low voice again, trying to attract more ghosts.

However, there was a fierce murderous aura lingering here, and the ghosts were terrified and did not dare to approach. Even those heartless and insensitive ghosts would resist instinctively.

Xiaojiu's brows furrowed more and more. She stuck the Zen stick on the blue brick and clasped her hands together, trying to forcibly summon the ghost.

From last night's reunion, Xiaojiu guessed that Shigu was doing something secretly. She had been with Shigu for many years and could see that he was worried.

But Shi Gu didn't want to say it, so Xiao Jiu didn't ask. She knew Shi Gu's temper. As long as he didn't bring it up, she wouldn't get the answer no matter how much she asked.

Therefore, Xiaojiu could only use the secret method of Buddhism to summon ghosts and find out the truth.

The murderous aura lingering on the ruins of the charity cemetery was actually very faint, but it was that vague murderous aura that made all the ghosts dare not approach. No matter how Xiaojiu tried to summon the souls, it was ineffective.

Half an hour later, Xiaojiu slowly opened his eyes and sighed, but still found nothing.

Xiaojiu was a little unwilling. She wanted to do something to help Shigu and prove that she had grown up.

With this thought, a gleam of determination flashed in Xiaojiu's eyes. She strode towards the ruins of the charity cemetery, sat cross-legged in the mess, and quickly formed seals with her hands. Her fingers were like flowing light, leaving intricate traces.

Gradually, golden light particles floated up and lingered around Xiaojiu. Xiaojiu, who was sitting cross-legged, slowly closed her eyes, as if she was in a trance, while her body slowly floated up and suspended in the air.

In the golden light, Xiaojiu's body did not move, but his soul slowly opened his eyes, and the pupils in his eyes reflected a golden color.

The moment Xiaojiu opened her eyes, boundless darkness quickly enveloped her, swallowing up the world in her eyes.

The Ten Mantras, an extremely strange practice, can allow the living to see the world after death through their souls.

The world after death is not the underworld, but a corner of the world that can only be seen by the soul, which is called the soul world in Buddhism.

In the boundless darkness, there was chaos, without a trace of light, and it was chillingly cold. However, the pupils of Xiaojiu's soul were glowing with golden light, and he was able to see things without light.

Xiaojiu raised his eyes to the sky above the ruins of the charity cemetery, only to see a lingering blood-red murderous aura that transformed into a long sword. Just one glance at it made people feel cold all over. Even though Xiaojiu was already at the ninth level of martial arts, he still shuddered in his heart.

"Such pure murderous aura... Who left this behind?"
