Chapter 1259 The Chess Game, Black and White Pieces
Qi Yun sat outside the carriage as the driver, while the Moon-Accompanying Immortal, Lord Xie, sat inside. Song Chunxue even thoughtfully set up a chessboard for them.
"Master, junior brother, and your disciple, farewell. I won't see you off." Song Chunxue stood at the crossroads and bowed.
"Well, until we meet again. Go back now." The Moon-Accompanying Immortal nodded and placed a chess piece on the chessboard.
Lord Xie simply stared at Song Chunxue, not looking away for a long time, until she was out of sight.
He seemed unwilling to say "see you later".
Qi Yun called out to her with his back to her, "Master, just six months, only six months, we will definitely come to find you!"
"Hmm." Song Chunxue took a few steps, looking at the clear tire tracks on the yellow earth, and felt a little sad, but not reluctant.
That's good; she seems to be getting used to separation.
For her in her past life, those two words were like having her bones torn out and her flesh cut off.
But for her now, it's just like autumn leaves falling, natural and in accordance with nature.
Inside the carriage, the Moon-Accompanying Immortal held a white chess piece and said to Xie Zheng, "It's your turn to make a move."
Xie Zheng casually placed a black piece, and where he couldn't see it, the black piece rippled across the chessboard.
The ripples on the water grew larger and larger, sweeping across thousands of miles.
The Moon-Accompanying Immortal slightly curved his lips and raised his hand to place the second white piece.
"Thump."
The sound was very soft, yet it created a wave of air outside the carriage, with ripples spreading outwards.
While Song Chunxue was lost in thought, she suddenly felt a gust of wind carrying yellow dust towards her face.
The moment she raised her elbow to shield herself, something seemed to sweep across her heart, refreshing and cool, soothing and invigorating.
Qi Yun watched the carriage descend the steep slope and muttered to himself, "Why did the wind suddenly pick up?"
With a "thump," Song Chunxue, who was standing in front of the new house, suddenly felt her heart skip a beat, and for a moment she felt as if she had lost weight and fallen into the void.
She suddenly clutched her chest and sat down on the nearby stone steps, letting out a soft "whoosh."
She tried to calm this sudden, strange feeling.
"Thump!"
The next moment, as the white pieces fell from the carriage, Song Chunxue felt a dull pain in her heart.
She suddenly gripped her clothes tightly, held her breath, and was at a loss for what to do.
As the black stone fell, the wind and waves grew stronger, and a tornado swept down the ditch.
"Thump!"
Once again, Song Chunxue's head throbbed with a dull pain, and her temples throbbed. She wondered if she had said something she shouldn't have to her master and the others. Why was she suddenly like this?
She was in so much pain that she was sweating profusely and gasping for breath.
The surrounding poplar trees were swaying violently in the strong wind. A gust of wind swept across the courtyard and headed straight up the mountain.
The dogs in the yard were barking wildly and were restless. Song Chunxue had never encountered such a situation before. The next moment, she realized that she needed to calm down and concentrate.
On the carriage, the Moon-Accompanying Immortal watched as the carriage circled the mountain road and went to the other side of the mountain. He thought to himself: I have nothing to give my disciple, so I will give her an opportunity so that she can find her direction in her next cultivation journey and go further and deeper on the path to the Great Dao.
The road ahead is long and arduous; her journey is still very long.
Stay true to your original aspiration, and you will achieve your goal.
I hope she can be mindful of her thoughts and actions when alone.
...
When Song Chunxue opened her eyes, she found that the sun was already setting in the west, and it seemed to be afternoon.
Li Dazui sat under the apricot tree in the distance, looking utterly bored.
The stubborn donkey was nestled to her left, and the wolfhound to her right.
Song Chunxue smiled and reached out to pat their heads.
When Li Dazui saw that she had woken up, he immediately sprang up from the apricot tree root. "You're finally awake, you little devil! You scared me to death. I thought you were about to pass away."
"Pah! Can't you speak properly? Why would I suddenly want to die?"
"Pah, pah, pah, you misspoke. You're about to become an immortal." Li Dazui quickly corrected himself. "The thing is, you weren't even breathing just now. I've never seen anything like this before, so don't be angry."
Song Chunxue raised an eyebrow, "Gone?"
Yes, a gust of wind blew by, and she suddenly closed her eyes and lost consciousness. I don't know if she entered a meditative state or fell asleep.
It is true that when you enter a meditative state, you will stop breathing, just like you are dead.
Over the years, she has come to know that this is normal, but what about those three sounds? Was she hallucinating?
"Oh, by the way, look at your horse, it's so intelligent. When I came, it had just come down from the mountain with something in its mouth, playing with it like a cat playing with a mouse, picking it up and putting it down. It looked like a stone, or a piece of white jade. I couldn't even take a look at it, it almost kicked me to death."
Li Dazui sighed, "If I hadn't been lucky, I would have been kicked to death by your horse just now!"
Is that so?
Song Chunxue used her divine sense to ask Wuyou, "What happened?"
[The stubborn donkey found it on the mountain; it's probably some kind of jade or something. He's very good at finding things.]
Where did those three noises I heard earlier come from?
Your master has put in a lot of effort to help you achieve enlightenment and cultivate. Although you've already made quite good progress, he's still worried and has given you three divine strikes. What you awaken depends entirely on your destiny.
Song Chunxue felt a surge of warmth in her heart. "Thank you, Master."
Li Dazui stared blankly at her, then took a few steps back. "Are you alright? Have they all gone back?"
"Yes, they've all gone back." Song Chunxue snapped out of her reverie. "Why are you here now?"
“I arrived a long time ago. I didn’t even have lunch. I found some leftovers in your kitchen. My wife was terrified when she saw you like this. I told her I would stay by your side, and even if something happened, I wouldn’t be afraid.”
Song Chunxue sighed helplessly; it seemed that she really had stopped breathing at that time.
"Then you should go back. Don't let your wife worry." Song Chunxue stood up. "I'm terribly hungry. I'll go find something to eat."
Li Dazui nodded, "Then I'm going home."
He carried an old shovel, his hands behind his back, and slowly walked out.
"Wait a minute," Song Chunxue said, taking out a roast chicken, "to make it a little nicer."
"I can't accept this!" Li Dazui hurriedly ran out. "I really can't accept this. You gave me a lot of good things last time."
"Hey you, thank you for saving my life."
"No need, no need, you saved many of us." Li Dazui waved his hand. "You eat by yourself, my stomach has been growling several times."
Song Chunxue smiled and sat back down, seeing the stubborn donkey place a transparent stone in her palm.
"What's this? It's quite pretty. Is it for me?"
The stubborn donkey, fearing she wouldn't recognize its value, put a piece in its mouth, chewed it up, spat out the larger part, and chewed the bitten off itself, making a crunching sound.
"..." Song Chunxue understood that the stubborn donkey meant that it should eat it just like him.
But can people eat this?
Song Chunxue tossed a small piece to the wolfhound, which quickly snatched it into its mouth, chewed it once, and swallowed it.
This dog is gobbling it down; it probably didn't even taste anything...
The next moment, Song Chunxue's eyes widened. The dog in front of her seemed to have become younger, regaining its appearance from its prime a few years ago.
"The Rejuvenating Stone?"
Song Chunxue picked it up and headed to the kitchen.
You should at least wash it before eating; this is what a stubborn donkey chewed up.
