Ancient streets, riverside, cool breeze...

Ye Bei is wearing a white gown and looks like a boy of seventeen or eighteen years old.

Raising your hands, brushing your sleeves, lifting your clothes, and putting them down, every movement is extremely elegant and smooth.

As each piece falls, an invisible 'qi' seems to be in the chessboard!

Either block, close, fly, jump, or suppress...

From the very beginning, he has been in control of the overall situation, and every move has developed with Ye Bei's layout.

Wang Xiu, wearing a gray cloth shirt and a face full of ravines. At the beginning, every move was very easy. But as the number of pieces on the chessboard gradually increased, he had to think for a long time about every move he made.

"Old Ancestor! With your chess skills, I'm afraid Yingchun is no match for you! There are no flaws at all!"

Holding a chess piece, Wang Xiu thought hard for a long time, but couldn't make a move, so he shook his head and sighed softly.

Ye Bei's eyes were calm. When he looked at Wang Xiu's helpless expression, an old friend faintly appeared in his memory.

Thousands of years ago!

A teenager and a boy were walking slowly along the field path.

The young man is dressed in white and looks like an immortal.

The boy, dressed in cloth, jumped step by step and followed closely behind.

The snow covering the fields gradually melted and turned into light water stains. Under the dark red sunset, the fields were dyed into a beautiful scenery.

The two of them walked to a river bank and saw only black and white stones all over the ground.

The young man said on a whim: "How about we use the sky as a chess piece and the earth as a piece to play a game?"

"I will obey the immortal's wishes!" The boy stopped and instantly changed from an unruly child to a mature one and replied respectfully.

"Okay!" The young man raised his hand, and the sky changed dramatically.

The sky is the chessboard and the earth is the pieces.

The two of them sat on the ground by the river bank, playing chess, using chess to observe their hearts, and using chess to communicate about the major events in the world.

"Immortal, your gaming skills are too strong, I am no match for you!"

After a long time, the boy was defeated and took the initiative to admit defeat.

"The general trend of the world is that if it unites for a long time, it will divide, and if it divides for a long time, it will unite... If it wants to be passed down through the ages, it must be like this chess, step by step!"

Ye Bei put away the chessboard and said softly.

"Yes!" The boy nodded in agreement if he understood something.

Later, the young man left, and the boy passed on this "game" to the world and let the world learn from it.

The boy has reached middle age. He recalled that game and decided to leave something in this world. So he ordered Xihe to calculate the calendar, establish the four seasons of adulthood, and issue farming orders to the people.

The vernal equinox, summer solstice, autumnal equinox, and winter solstice were determined.

Set up a drum for remonstrance and let the people of the world do what they say;

Erect a tree of slander and let the people of the world attack his faults.

His surname is Yi Qi and his nickname is Fangxun.

He was highly respected and loved by the people, and was called Emperor by the world! And he also had another name: Yao!

In the ancient street and by the river, Ye Bei's thoughts slowly came back, and his eyes fell on Wang Xiu inadvertently... There were still people playing chess! But, the people had changed... The surrounding scenery had also changed.

"Three glasses of wine for personnel matters, and a game of chess for the fleeting years!"

Ye Bei opened his mouth and spoke softly.

Wow...

Reach out and move on the chessboard, and all the chess pieces will be disrupted and return to chaos.

"Ancestor... don't you want to play another game?" Wang Xiu put down the chess pieces. Seeing the messed up chessboard, he reached out and carefully separated the black stones and white stones. The cool breeze blew, and he was wearing a cloth that could not protect him from the cold, and his body was slightly

tremble.

Ye Bei looked at Wang Xiu...

Under the dim light, this old man had a dim look on his forehead. When he was playing chess just now, his shrewd eyes quickly became older and even darker than before.

"No!"

Ye Bei was silent for a long time. When he saw Wang Xiu separating all the black and white children, he spoke lightly.

"Ancestor, where are we going now?" Wang Xiu's voice became older and a bit hoarse.

Ye Bei did not answer, but asked softly: "Aside from Wang Gu... Yingchun, do you have any contact information for future generations?"

Wang Xiu was sitting on a stone chair. Hearing these words, his body stagnated slightly, but then he regained his composure: "Parting between life and death is a common thing. Yesterday, I still had many things I couldn't figure out, many regrets, and even vain plans.

I want to live forever, but now, I feel that I am completely relieved...I have let go of everything. This person is alive, has done what he should do, and can always pursue what he loves, and that is enough!"

"It'll be good if you realize it!"

Ye Bei put one hand on the stone table, tapped it gently, and asked calmly.

swish swish...

The sky that was originally filled with stars just now suddenly had layers of dark clouds, and silky spring rain fell from the sky.

Falling on willow vines.

Falling into the clear river water...

Falling on the bluestone...

The tourists who were strolling around before covered their hair with their palms, quickened their pace, and trotted quickly...

Ye Bei and Wang Xiu, on the other hand, sat under the willow tree by the river, watching the tourists passing by in a hurry, without being affected at all.

When the light rain appeared and moistened the world, Wang Xiu's dry face suddenly showed a touch of ruddy color: "Ancestor, I'm afraid I won't be able to see Agu's last face... Please give me a message to welcome the new year.

Give him the word!"

After hearing this, Ye Bei said softly: "I will tell him that you are just going on a long trip!"

"Thank you, sir!"

Wang Xiu grinned, revealing a smile and some scarce teeth. At this moment, it seemed as if he had returned to eighty years ago.

It's a pity that as soon as he finished speaking, his withered hands were resting on the stone table... His aging body stood up with some difficulty, bringing everything back to reality.

Ye Bei was still sitting, looking at the drizzle of rain, his eyes calm and unruffled.

Wang Xiu stood up and gradually looked away from Ye Bei. His old pupils reflected the unique scenery in the spring rain. He had his hands behind his back and his steps were staggering, like a reclusive master.

He walked into the crowd...

He allowed countless tourists to shuttle around him, and even though some people touched the corners of his clothes and shoulders, he didn't care and walked towards the gallery alone.

Willow tree, in front of stone table.

Ye Bei didn't look at Wang Xiu again...

His eyes were all focused on this beautiful scenery.

Time passes quietly.

It's getting later and later...

On the river bank, there are already a few tourists, but there are more women selling umbrellas, riding a white umbrella, wandering along the river bank, selling sales to everyone they meet.

The ancient streets and the shops on the roadside are all hung with red lanterns... The red light, refracted by the raindrops, looks extremely dazzling. Unfortunately, Ye Bei is the only one to enjoy this scene.

"For ten years, I dreamed of Yangzhou and was buried in a handful of loess!"

After a long time, Ye Bei stood up and murmured softly.

On the river bank, the woman selling umbrellas has left, and the tourists have returned to their residences to rest long ago!

The spring rain has stopped.

The sky is twinkling with stars again...

Ye Bei was dressed in white, walking on the bluestone road by the river with his hands behind his back, walking quietly.

The Spring Equinox has finally come quietly!
Chapter completed!
