Nightfall Chapter 74: Waiting for you on the mountain


Sangsang took the green pear, lowered his head and ate it, and found that the pear was very sweet, with a lot of juice in it, and the strangest taste was very strange. It felt like it melted in the mouth, and he was stunned.

She raised her head, handed the remaining half of the pear to Ning Que, and said, "You eat it, it's very sweet."

From childhood to adulthood, the two of them were used to having any delicious food and would eat them separately. Ning Que didn't care about the pears, so he swallowed half a green pear in a few mouthfuls.

Master Qishan didn't seem to expect that even an ordinary green pear would be eaten separately by the two of them. They were startled, then shook their heads and said, "Let's start."

Sangsang still chose black.

Under the vine corridor in front of the Luqian, the chessboard was made of some materials. It looked like iron, with a cold and hard smell, but when the chess pieces fell on it, there was no sound.

Just as Sangsang's fingertips left the black chess piece, something very strange happened.

The expression in her eyes suddenly became a little confused, and then slowly closed.

She didn't blink her eyelashes, 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 ran through his hair, stimulating his mind like ice.

He stared at Master Qishan's eyes, his five fingers on his right hand gradually came together, squeezed into a fist in the air, just enough to insert a knife handle, and his tail finger trembled at a very small amount of high speed, ready to pull out Park knife behind him.

"Don't be nervous." Master Qishan said: "She is just tired, so she went to dream to rest for a while."

Ning Que sensed Sangsang's situation and found that her breathing was very smooth, even smoother than usual. Other than that, there was nothing unusual, it seemed that she was just asleep.

"What is going on?" he asked in a cold voice.

Master Qishan smiled and said: "This is good for her body."

Sangsang, who fell asleep bizarrely, seemed to be really comfortable. His eyebrows were often frowned from pain. He was very stretched and he did not cough. Ning Que put his hand on her wrist. I found that the cold air in her body had also become very calm, unlike the usual urge to move around, so I felt a little relieved.

But after all, there is no way to rest assured.

He stared at 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 the legend of Lanke Temple. The chessboard you see now is the chessboard used by the old monks in the legend to play chess." /

Ning Que said: "Who left this chessboard...?"

Master Qishan said: "Buddha."

Ning Que thought of the legend, and his mood was tense.

"Why do Sangsang use this board to play chess? I just knew it before. In the past, the final game of Washan's three games was presided over by the master of Dongming. It was definitely not this board at that time."

Master Qishan said: "Take it as the Buddha's test of her."

Ning Que said: "We are here to heal the disease, not to pray for the Buddha. Why do we need to be tested by the Buddha?"

Master Qishan said: "If only the Buddha can cure her disease. Then you ask or not?"

Ning Que was silent for a long time and asked: "Is she in danger?"

Master Qishan said: "There is no danger."

Ning Que suddenly thought of some possibility, and said with a low voice, "But she will be in pain."

Master Qishan said: "If she is in pain, you can naturally feel it."

Ning Que asked: "Then what should I do next, I can't play this game?"

Master Qishan looked at the lonely black chess on the chessboard, took out a white chess from the chess urn next to him, and gently landed on a position opposite to the black chess, and said: "This chess game It's already started."

……

……

Time is passing by, and autumn is gradually moving westward. Washan Cave House is enveloped by a tense and mysterious atmosphere. No one knows what happened on that chessboard and why Sangsang only lost one piece. . Then fell asleep.

Ning Que almost lost his patience on several occasions, just thinking about the respect and trust Sangsang showed to this Qishan master before he settled down. He suppressed his anxiety forcibly and continued to wait silently.

There are still only those two pieces on the chessboard.

Ning Que didn't look at the chessboard, but looked at Sangsang's face, paying attention to whether she showed an uncomfortable expression. Is there any change in her breathing, is there any abnormality in her body?

He looked carefully, carefully, and attentively. His eyes didn't blink, and he didn't miss the trembling of each of Sangsang's eyelashes, although those tremors. It was all moved by the autumn wind in the mountains.

Mo Shanshan stood outside Lumen, quietly watching the expression on Ning Que's face. She looked carefully and attentively. On the stone bench beside the mountain road, the Southern Jin prince stared at Mo Shanshan's beautiful profile face in a daze, with a focused expression, showing obsession and sadness.

If the world is a big chessboard, and everyone is a chess piece on the chessboard, then no one can escape, and you have to look at the other person you want to look at, unless you have no attachment to this world.

Lu Chenjia, an idiot, silently looked at these people inside and outside the cave. On the dull and beautiful faces, a mocking smile suddenly flashed. Then she left the cave and turned back to the Buddha statue on the top of the mountain.

The Buddha statue is very tall, even a toe is much bigger than her.

Lu Chenjia stood on the tail finger of the Buddha statue, gently arranging the fluttering hair behind his ears, raised his head and looked up, his eyes narrowed when he was shaken by the fading autumn day.

The Buddha's face is looming in Yunsi, silently looking down at the mountain, not looking at a specific individual person, but looking at all the people struggling up and down in the red dust, so he appears supremely compassionate.

Lu Chenjia looked at it for a long time before looking back. She saw a small white flower in a small stone crack at the tip of the nail at the foot of the Buddha statue, and she lowered her body and picked it off.

……

……

Sangsang stood on a mountain in a daze.

There is a small town at the bottom of the mountain, and you can faintly hear the noise of children playing inside, you can see the waterwheel by the stream outside the town, and just before noon, you can smell the fragrance of food.

She knows that this is not the real world, because in this world, there is no Ning Que by her side, but she cannot confirm whether this world is on the chessboard, because she sees the world itself instead of the chessboard.

When she found herself standing on this mountain, it was late at night. When smoke was rising in the morning, she went down the mountain once, walked around the town, then walked back to the mountain again, found a tree, and continued to be in a daze. .

She is not going to leave, because she is far away, she doesn't know if she can find a way back, and if Ning Que wants to find herself in this world, she should stand there and wait for him.

This was when I was very young. Every time before going out to hunt or do other things, Ning Que would keep telling her not to leave the place no matter what happened, because that would make him find Not her.

At that time, Sangsang would confirm it every time: Will you definitely come back to me? Ning Que said of course, so Sangsang was relieved, and stood still in place according to his request.

……

……

Sangsang stood for a long time, until she herself finally forgot how long, only remembering that the sun had set and had been repeated countless times, the rain, snow and frost, the wind wheel had rotated countless times, and the celebration of firecrackers in the town had also sounded a lot. Times.

These people seem to have a lot of happy events to do, Sangsang thought, Ning Que hasn't found himself for so long, and he won't be happy after hearing the firecrackers. Time is still going on, Sangsang is still waiting, her feet are sore, she sits down for a break, sleepy, she squints against the tree for a while,

There were two colonies of ants under that tree. Sangsang and Ning Que were really bored, so they began to watch the ants move or fight. I don’t know how many times, the members of the two ant colonies probably changed After hundreds of generations, she finally found these ants or when she moved house, something very interesting.

The crawling speed of the two colonies of ants is absolutely the same, and the distance from the tree is exactly the same. The place where the nectar overflows on the tree is different every time. Sometimes one colony of ants can walk in a straight line, but the other colony must Go around the puddles and follow the curve, so the nest of ants that follow the straight line can pick up the nectar first.

The shortest straight line between two points.

Sangsang thought silently, this is the rule the world wants to tell itself.

There are towns in this world, there are people in towns, mountains, beasts and trees in the mountains, there are birds on the trees, there are water, wind and clouds, day and night, and nature has rules.

Sangsang never went down the mountain, but because she had too much time to see and think, she gradually mastered many rules in the world, such as light is warm and night is cold. This kind of rule is very meaningless .

Some rules are more sad.

In the town, apart from setting off firecrackers on happy occasions, funerals will also set off firecrackers. Sangsang stood on the mountain and watched the children in the town gradually get old, become sick, and then died, disappearing with the firecrackers.

The ashes of the firecrackers, which were picked up by the wind, floated from the graves outside the town, and kept moving forward around the mountains until they faded away. Sangsang noticed that the wind came from one place every time. The direction of the gray smoke is exactly the same, as if there is an arrow directed, always facing forward.

She understood that this is the rule of time.

Time goes all the way, no one can stop.

……

……

Sangsang is still on the mountain.

A woodcutter went up the mountain to chop wood, and some children went up the mountain to herd sheep. For countless years, many people have walked by the tree, but no one can see her. The tree has even tied three generations of scalpers under the tree, but no objects can touch. To her.

She is a real existence in this world. In addition to being unable to interact with this world, she is still bound by the rules of this world, so she will be tired, tired, cold or hot.

Of course, there are some rules that can't restrain her—she has never eaten, but she has never been hungry.

She remembered the legend of Lanke Temple that Ning Que once told her-the woodcutter named Wangzhi just ate a steamed bun, so he spent a hundred years at the chessboard under the tree without being hungry. .

Sangsang didn't eat steamed buns, but she just ate a green pear.

Then she understood something, went to the edge of the cliff and jumped off.
