Lanke Chess Edge

Ze's parents were buried together in one grave, while his grandfather was buried alone, and most of the other graves were also buried in the same way. There is no favoritism in the offerings, there are in front of every grave bag. With the help of Jinxiu, A Ze put the lit sandalwood and candles in front of each grave, and worshiped in front of each grave bag.

"Uncle and Aunt Chang, I'm Aze, and I'm here to see you on behalf of Aaron..."

"Uncle Qian, I'm here to see you on behalf of Ani..."

"Uncle Li, Grandma Li...I came to see you on behalf of Agu..."

...

Aze bowed to every tomb, kowtowed to each tomb, and finally returned to the graves of his parents and grandfather again.

"Aze, I have learned to ask the gods to send the gods, and I will help you send the qi of the offerings to the underworld."

While Jin Xiu was talking, he was casting spells, and a series of obscure lights circled the graves. Both A Ze and Ji Yuan could see the incense burn of sandalwood circling over a dozen graves.

Inviting God and Sending God away are relatively widely spread spells, and they are not limited to immortals, let alone "gods". Things can be regarded as a kind of spell of communication nature, and it is also called "inviting and sending spells" in immortals.

Of course, there is no comparison between inviting the gods and restraining the gods in this kind of spells. I just squeezed together with a crowd of fans and yelled at a celebrity to invite him to come over. Yes, it is only used here, which is quite convenient.

"Look, Ah Ze, the incense didn't disintegrate directly, which means someone in the Yin Division took it, don't worry!"

Aze was obviously happy when he heard the words, and he also looked at Ji Yuan, who nodded, indicating that Jinxiu's words were correct.

"Great, are parents and grandpa still there? Can I see them?"

"It's definitely possible. Mr. Ji is here. Even if he doesn't have the token of the head teacher, they dare not stop him."

Jin Xiu lightly patted Ji Yuan's horse, and when he turned his head to take a peek, he saw Ji Yuan shaking his head and smiling, and was immediately overjoyed, feeling that the horse had been photographed in place.

Aze's village is called Miaodong Village. Since the whole village was slaughtered by soldiers and bandits more than two years ago, it has been completely abandoned, and even the surrounding cultivated land has not been cultivated. Not only Miaodong Village, but also the two nearby villages are in the same situation. The relatively remote place has completely become a dead place.

Ji Yuan didn't fly this time, but took Aze and Jinxiu on the ground to make it easier to observe the world in the cave in a down-to-earth way.

Of course, ordinary people have weak feet, and Ji Yuan couldn't really let everyone walk slowly. Instead, he cast a spell in a subtle way, so that the three of them would walk like flying without knowing it when they passed some uncharacteristic places.

Passing through the other two villages was also silent, and the stale smell mixed with the stench of corpses lingered, followed by a long and barren mountain road. It seemed that there was not even a living person in Aze's hometown, except for birds. The beasts and Ji Yuan are the only living people left.

This feeling is very depressing, at least for Aze and Jinxiu. The former is heartbroken, while the latter is a little shocked by seeing the tragic scenes of the villagers, so it also affects his mood. This also caused the two people who had been chatting constantly in the sky before to be relatively silent now.

"No matter where you are, looking back at history, disputes are themes that can never be avoided. Some disputes are like quarrels, and some disputes have serious consequences. Kindness and resentment will continue to spread. As long as everyone is not a sage, all this will not happen. Disappear, even if we can't fight together, the resentment is still in my heart, so all this can only be avoided as much as possible."

Ji Yuan said and looked at Jinxiu.

"You have been cultivating on the mountain, and you rarely see cruelty in the world, but if you think about it carefully, there must have been something in the teacher's Taoist collection, but it is not yet time for you to understand it. In the future, if you have the opportunity, go out more."

"yes!"

Jin Xiu hurriedly saluted Ji Yuan, Aze could treat Ji Yuan like an elder, but as a disciple of Jiufeng Mountain, she didn't dare, she knew very well what a master Mr. Ji is, listening to the master's teachings, etiquette must never be forgotten.

As if he just recovered from what Ji Yuan said before, Aze kept walking and looked at Ji Yuan.

"Sir, you said that disputes will not disappear and can only be avoided as much as possible, so how can we avoid them?"

"Good question!"

Ji Yuan was walking with one hand behind his back, and his right hand was moving forward. In the eyes of A Ze and Jin Xiu, Mr. Ji drew many lines back and forth horizontally, and many lines back and forth vertically. In the end, a grid shining with fluorescent light appeared in front of Mr. Ji, and it would also move forward with the footsteps of the three of them.

"What's this?"

"checkerboard."

A Ze and Jin Xiu looked at each other, and they both saw each other's doubts.

"checkerboard?"

Is playing chess the way?

Ji Yuan looked at the chessboard in front of him, narrowed his eyes and said.

"Let me ask you, what is the key to supporting a game of chess?"

A Ze frowned, Jin Xiu was also thinking hard, and although the latter was a monk, his heartbeat was faintly faster. This was very similar to an expert preaching. If he got any advice from Mr. Ji, he would definitely benefit a lot.

After thinking about it, the two almost had some answers, and they spoke directly.

"Chess pieces, chess board?"

"The chess players, and the chess skills of both sides?"

Ji Yuan smiled.

"You are all right, but the most important thing... is the rules of this chess game! Only on this basis can we evolve various chess tactics."

Ji Yuan has a look at this cave.

"Without rules, there is no circle. The sages understand human nature and establish rules to bind them. The kings use the principles of the sages to refine them into laws, intimidate them, and govern the people according to them. Although it is beneficial, it is also protection. The rules apply not only to humanity, but also to all things, even this piece of heaven and earth.”

While speaking, Ji Yuan stretched out his hand and pointed forward, pointing out "star positions" on the chessboard, and then faintly revealed the chess moves, and then the whole chessboard gradually faded away, and the fluorescence disappeared in front of his eyes.

Aze stared blankly, then asked again suddenly.

"But we obviously have a country and rules. Why are people in the village still being killed, and why are other countries attacking us?"

"Well, maybe the rules are not properly maintained, or the rules are wrong, or... the rules are too small!"

When answering the doubts of the two, the three of them had crossed a long distance without knowing it. The green farmland had already appeared, and at this moment, Ji Yuan's footsteps slowed down.

After walking for another quarter of an hour, the three of them finally saw a new living person. It was an old farmer who was busy pulling weeds in the field, wearing coarse cloth and a bamboo hat, with a hoe on his shoulders, bent over and stretched out his hands to sweep the field. The weeds in the garden were uprooted one by one and thrown to the side of the road.

Ji Yuan could feel that Aze, who saw the living person, let out a sigh of relief.

The old farmer over there straightened up and saw the three people passing by the roadside. He saw that they were neatly dressed and did not look like people from poor families. Come here, are you not afraid of being robbed in this troubled time?

The old farmer didn't speak, but Ji Yuan stopped and spoke.

"This old man, the front should be the city of Beiling County, right?"

"Oh, yes, it's the county town after crossing Beishanling, but it's not a peaceful year. If you want to cross Beishanling, the three of you should go to a nearby town and wait for a while. If there are more people, it's better to go on the road together."

The old farmer looked at the road behind Ji Yuan and the others, but saw no chariots and horses accompanying him, and then looked ahead, the road stretched into the distance.

"Uh, where did the three come from?"

Aze replied immediately with a little excitement.

"We came from Shannan. There are several villages there. My family lives in Miaodong Village. Have you heard of it, old man? Have you ever seen or heard of people fleeing from there?"

There was obvious expectation in Aze's tone. Before Jinxiu's sister told him that in the event of a military disaster, it might not be the only five of their partners who escaped. Qingtian Mountain just fled to other places.

"Shannan?"

This area is close to the Qingtian Mountains. Even if you don’t count the Qingtian Mountains, there are many hills separating the people’s habitats, and the villagers are scattered in these places. The large land and sparse population are the true portrayal of this place. But some place names and roads are known to the locals. The old farmer subconsciously looked to the south, and then looked at the cloudy day today. He seemed to think of something, his body trembled, and his face was a little bit wrong.

"Uh... Well, that's never seen before... I, I still have work to do, work to do."

After speaking, he buried his head in taking care of the field, and his speed was much faster. Leaving the position on the side of the road, his body seemed to be buried in the crops of the field.

"Old man..."

A Ze still wanted to speak, but Ji Yuan shook his head at him.

"The old man, you are busy, we are leaving!"

Ji Yuan saluted lightly, and led the two of them to walk quickly in the direction of Beishanling.

When the sound of footsteps could no longer be heard, the old farmer who was busy pulling weeds carefully stood up from the crops, but the three of Ji Yuan could not be seen from the front and back. He pulled his eyes away and saw the road to the north There are three dots in the distance.

The old farmer was stunned for a moment, and then his body shook violently a few times, only to feel the cold air constantly rushing through his body.

"Hey, I have to go back early today!"

The people on the Shannan side had all died a long time ago. How could such three Shannan people come out of nowhere?

With this bad idea in mind, the old farmer pulled some more weeds, glanced at the field casually, walked to the field ridge, put on straw sandals, and hurried away with a hoe on his shoulder.

"Mr. Ji, that old man seems to be quite afraid of us?"

The Taoism of Jinxiu is too shallow to be observant, but it can also be seen that the attitude of the old farmers towards them has changed.

"Well, we are regarded as ghosts, so it is too late to avoid us."

Ji Yuan looked at A Ze and said.

"Aze, in order to avoid trouble when talking to others later, if you really want to mention Shannan's affairs, just say that you escaped and escaped a catastrophe."

"Well, I remember."
