The young novice monk said to Li Qingqing: "Donor Li, please wait here. Donor Zhao, come with me!"
Chen Xiaodao was worried that Zhao Xu would be in danger, so he said to Zhao Xu: "Master, let me go with you!"
The young novice monk said to Chen Xiaodao: "Donor, please be patient! The expert said that only Donor Zhao is called. Therefore, you cannot be allowed in."
"This..." Chen Xiaodao had a worried look on his face.
No one knew which master was inside summoning Zhao Xu. Whether there is an expert or not is still unknown.
If Zhao Xu went alone and encountered danger, he would regret not hasting it.
Zhao Xu frowned and saw that the young novice only asked him to go in alone. Finally, he comforted Chen Xiaodao, his wife Li Qingqing and others and said, "Just wait for me here!"
"But Master, what if..."
Zhao Xu interrupted Chen Xiaodao and said, "I have my own sense of discretion!" After saying that, he left with the little novice monk.
Behind the temple, there is a Zen room with a closed door.
Shao novice brought Zhao Xu to this Zen room and said, "Donor Zhao, this master is inside. You can go in by yourself!"
Zhao Xu nodded and walked slowly towards the Zen room.
After pushing open the door, I saw two people sitting on the futon playing chess.
Seeing Zhao Xu coming, an old abbot stood up and said to another person: "Donor Liu, I will play chess with you later!"
"Master, you are busy!" The man named Liu saluted the old abbot.
When the old abbot passed by Zhao Xu, he nodded slightly to him.
Zhao Xu's eyes fell on the man on the futon in the Zen room.
The man is about sixty years old, but his hair is completely white and there is no beard under his chin. Just a head full of white hair, showing the vicissitudes of life.
"Are you here?" the man asked Zhao Xu, and then said: "Close the door!".
I don't know why, but when Zhao Xu saw this man, he felt respect in his heart. After he entered the house, he closed the door behind his back.
"Sit down!" The man pointed to the futon in front of him and said to Zhao Xu.
Zhao Xu imitated the men and sat down on the futon cross-legged.
He first glanced at the chess game on the ground and saw that the two of them were playing chess. On the green side, only two pawns crossing the river and one rook were killed, but the pawns and elephants were all intact. The opponent's red pieces also have rooks, horses, and cannons, but the defensive chess pieces only have one official and one elephant.
The red stones have an advantage in the chess game, but the green stones are in a bad situation, and there is a risk of defeat at any time.
The man in front of him was wearing a gray cloth cardigan. Apart from his white hair, he had thick eyebrows and big eyes. His appearance was majestic, giving people a feeling that he did not dare to blaspheme. There are only two sleeves, one of which looks empty. Only then did we realize that the man had lost an arm and only had one arm left.
Zhao Xu was sure that he did not recognize the person in front of him 100%.
"May I ask, Sir, what do you want from me? Who is Sir?" Zhao Xu asked the man.
The man raised his eyelids, glanced at Zhao Xu, and said, "It's not important who I am. What's important is knowing who you are. Originally, you were supposed to come here a week ago. It's just that something happened with the Xiao family in the middle. This matter has been delayed.”
I heard the man mention "Xiao Family" and knew his itinerary. Zhao Xu was shocked when he heard this, and asked the man warily: "Who are you? How do you know so many things about me?"
The man smiled and said, "Didn't I tell you just now! Who I am is not important. What is important is that I know who you are. I also know, what is the thing you want to do most urgently right now?"
"What is it?" Zhao Xu asked the other party.
The man said: "You have lost your inner strength, and the most urgent thing is to restore it. And you have been looking for the master on the God List!"
Zhao Xu stared at the other person and asked, "Who are you? Why do you know about me?"
"What about me? I'm a fortune teller, my surname is Liu."
Zhao Xu blurted out and exclaimed: "Are you Liu Wuque, Mr. Liu?"
This time it was Liu Wuque's turn to be surprised. He looked at Zhao Xu and asked, "How could you recognize me?"
Zhao Xu said happily: "I heard Mr.'s name from the Ye family in Yangcheng. I didn't expect that I would meet Mr. today. Mr. Liu is the superior, and he is the younger generation of Zhao Xu."
After learning Liu Wuque's true identity, Zhao Xu knelt on the futon and bowed respectfully to Liu Wuque.
Liu Wuque did not stop Zhao Xu from saluting him.
Zhao Xu didn't expect that Liu Wuque had a broken arm and his hair was all white.
"Mr. Liu, how did you know that I was in Su City? Did Ye Zha tell you?" Zhao Xu asked Liu Wuque excitedly.
Liu Wuque shook his head and said, "Your father came to me and asked me to give you some advice!"
"My dad?" Zhao Xu was shocked when he heard this. He didn't expect that his father, Zhao Xiaotian, also knew Liu Wuque.
Liu Wuque explained to Zhao Xu: "Your father and I met three years ago. At that time, I calculated that you would be expelled from the Zhao family. Moreover, you would encounter natural barriers along the way to learn martial arts. Obstacles! However, the willows will be dark and the flowers will be bright, and the dead trees will be in spring."
"Mr. Liu, what do you mean by this? Does it mean that with my internal strength, will there be experts on the divine list to help me?" Zhao Xu asked excitedly.
Liu Wudi nodded and said, "Actually, this master is already in Hangzhou. It's just that your fate has not arrived yet and you haven't met him yet."
Upon hearing this, Zhao Xu asked anxiously: "Mr. Liu, can you tell me where the expert is now?"
"Well! The time is not yet ripe for you to meet. Don't worry, you will meet soon."
This Liu Wuque is a descendant of Liu Bowen.
Liu Bowen is a man who claims to have known things for five hundred years before and five hundred years later. He was the first military advisor in the Ming Dynasty. Since Liu Wuque is a descendant of Liu Bowen, even if he cannot learn all Liu Bowen's skills, he is still a famous outsider in the contemporary era.
Zhao Xu saw that Liu Wuque had a broken arm and only had one arm. He asked curiously: "Mr. Liu, who injured this arm in your hand?"
Liu Wuque said: "We divination practitioners reveal too many secrets, and people in the world say we are missing a skill."
"What does this mean?" Zhao Xu asked with a frown.
"If one door is missing, there will be evil in one's life. But this evil cannot be resolved. It is all the retribution brought by revealing the secret of heaven. It can either harm one's parents, children, wife, or have an unruly fate. I, Liu Wuque, I've leaked too many secrets in my life, and only one of my arms was broken, so I'm lucky!"
Zhao Xu didn't expect such a thing to happen. But seeing that Liu Wuque's attitude was quite optimistic, he felt relieved.
Zhao Xu asked Liu Wuque: "Mr. Liu, can I ask you a few questions?"
Liu Wuque said: "Don't rush to ask questions yet! Can you play chess?"
"Know a little!" Zhao Xu replied.
Liu Wuque pointed to the endgame of chess and asked Zhao Xu: "In this chess piece, there is only one rook and two pawns crossing the river. Do you think there is a solution?"
Zhao Xu saw that Liu Wuque's board contained a rook, a horse, and a cannon, while the green chess player only had a bicycle. Winning the red chess piece is more difficult than reaching the sky.
"The green chess has little chance of winning!" Zhao Xu said to Liu Wuque.
Liu Wuque smiled and said to Zhao Xu: "How will you know if you don't try! Come on, you hold the red chess, I will hold the green chess, and we will continue to finish the game. It's your turn to go!"
Zhao Xu didn't understand what Liu Wuque was going to do, so he patiently played chess with him for a while. As a result, what surprised Zhao Xu was that Liu Wuque held the green chess piece and moved with two pawns. Taking advantage of Shi Xiangquan's defense, he actually used a bicycle to kill his horses and cannons one after another. In the end, he actually won Zhao Xu's red chess with a slight advantage.
Zhao Xu's chess skills could only be regarded as average, but the red chess pieces were dominant, and Liu Wuque killed them completely.
Liu Wuque put down the chess pieces and said with a smile: "Life is like a chess game. It seems like a bad chess game. But as long as you find the opponent's loopholes, you can turn the crisis into safety and make progress step by step. If you hadn't made the wrong move with the knight just now, neither would I." Win your chance. Just like your current situation, it seems that you are surrounded by enemies on all sides, but a blessing in disguise is not necessarily a bad thing. Once you seize the opportunity, you will come back."
Only then did Zhao Xu realize that Liu Wuque was preaching to him through a chess game. He suddenly understood and said respectfully: "Thank you, Mr. Liu, for teaching me! By the way, when I entered Lingyin Temple to count the Arhats, I counted To the thirty-eighth Arhat, there is a poem called: Don't be afraid of the waves, the depth of the ocean, don't be afraid of the bumpy road. Please only look at those who smile charmingly. Honey in the belly and sword in the mouth hurts people more. Mr. Liu, how do you interpret this poem? ?”
Liu Wuque smiled and said: "It means that if you understand the natural way of heaven and earth and understand the world, you can live peacefully in the dirty world or when disaster strikes. A wise person will not be burdened by fame and fortune, and will have peace of mind. People can enjoy blessings and fortune. As for why there are toads, it is nothing more than a sign of the Dharma."
