The reality has deviated from the plot. Bai Suzhen seems to only want to repay her kindness and end her fate, and will not follow the plot of the TV series.
Xu Xian needed Bai Suzhen's help, but he couldn't take the initiative to speak. He could only try to get back to the familiar plot so that he could predict the future and start looking for a boat at the ferry.
The West Lake in Piaomiaojie is not in the area, but in the city. It is bustling with tourists. There are more than ten small boats lined up at the ferry. The rowers are mainly middle-aged people, but there are also young people, but they have not been seen. What an old man?
Xu Xian looked around and saw a small boat slowly approaching from a distance. Judging from the speed, the person rowing the boat was most likely an old man.
Because middle-aged people or young people will not row so slowly.
Xu Xian's guess was confirmed. There was really an older man on board.
Although the old boatman was found, because there were too many ferries, Bai Suzhen had no excuse to board Xu Xian's pirate ship even if she really wanted to stay on a rainy day?
Xu Xian pondered for a moment and planned to get on the boat first. As for what excuse Bai Suzhen would find to get on the boat, that was Bai Suzhen's business, not Xu Xian's time to think about it.
With this thought, Xu Xian walked towards the old boatman's boat.
"Old man, I want to go back to Qiantangmen. Is it convenient?"
The old boatman glanced at Xu Xian, shook his head and sighed:
"Today's young people don't know how to respect the old and love the young. There are so many boats at the ferry, but they insist on torturing my old bones.
It’s really a declining world and people’s hearts are not as old as they used to be! "
Xu Xian looked at the old man. Although his head was full of white hair, his face was red and energetic, with a faint hint of elegance and scholarly spirit.
Xu Xian knew that the old boatman was not a simple man. He might be a strange person who played in the human world. He smiled and said:
"Old sir, my purpose is to enjoy the scenery along the way. I am not in a hurry. I am more optimistic about the speed of the old gentleman's rowing."
Hearing this, the old man said with a smile:
"Since you're not in a hurry, little friend, why don't you accompany me to fight for a round first?"
After finishing speaking, the old boatman opened the secret compartment on the boat and took out a chess set.
Xu Xian muttered:
"It's been many years since I've played chess, so I just want to try my hand at it."
After placing the chess pieces, the old boatman waved his hand and said:
"My friend, please go first."
Xu Xian cupped his hands and said:
"Being respectful is worse than obeying orders."
After finishing speaking, Xu Xian took a step forward.
The old boatman looked at the leading man on the chessboard and was silent for a while, then said:
"Have you really not played chess for a long time? Not many people make good first moves."
Xu Xian smiled and said: "Shouldn't we let the leader go first? It would be dangerous for us to steal the limelight from the leader."
"Where are you?"
The old boatman asked puzzledly, pondered for a long time, and took a step forward in an orderly manner.
An ordinary move, but it contained a great truth. What Xu Xian saw was not just the chessboard, but also a faint glimpse of the murderous battlefield behind the chessboard.
There is only a thin line between reality and illusion. A faint stream of clear water passes through Xu Xian's sea of consciousness. The illusion disappears and Xu Xian takes another step.
Being able to keep the Lingtai a little clear on his chessboard indirectly confirmed the old boatman's guess that Xu Xian was indeed not a creature of the pond.
The old boatman took the second step that was ordinary.
Xu Xian's heart was as clear as ice, his spiritual platform was clear, and he took a step slowly.
Soon after, the smile on the old boatman's face turned into an angry look.
Xu Xian used the old boatman's taxi to kill the old boatman's generals, and said with a smile:
"Accepted!"
The old boatman asked:
"Can a horse do the field sign?"
Xu Xian said:
"Because mine is a thousand-mile horse."
The old boatman suppressed the anger in his heart and asked:
"Can your soldiers move backwards?"
Xu Xian said:
"Don't tell me that I am a well-trained special soldier. Even an ordinary soldier can walk backwards?
This is a trick to lure the enemy, wouldn’t you fall into the trap? "
The old man said:
"Your elephant can still cross the river."
Xu Xian said:
"My elephant is like Dumbo, who has opened his spiritual wisdom and realized the Dao. Don't cross the river, he has a slight chance of attaining enlightenment and ascending."
The old boatman stood up and said:
"In this way, the cannon can be fired without a spacer, or it can be fired with more than two spacers.
Can the car turn the corner? "
Xu Xian said:
"The shells seem to be fine at long range or short range.
Can't your carriage turn corners? "
The old man took a deep breath, suppressed the anger in his heart, and said:
"What you said makes sense, but you actually used my taxi to kill my general. Isn't this too outrageous?"
Xu Xian smiled and said
"Sorry, I sent your taxi here specially as an undercover agent!
A soldier never tires of deceit, so am I not allowed to use spies? "
The old man said:
"The chessboard has its own rules, which are different from those in the real world. My little friends may not understand it. I'll wait for the old man to explain the rules to you in detail."
Next, the old man introduced the rules of chess to Xu Xian in detail.
Xu Xian said:
"What's going on in the world of chess?
There were swords, guns, swords and halberds, and thousands of troops. It was a real battlefield. "
The old man laughed and said:
"That's my way. When you go to high and deep places, you can transform thousands of small worlds."
Xu Xian said:
“Since there is a real world in your chessboard, you shouldn’t have so many rules that are divorced from reality.
The carriage can obviously turn, right? "
The old boatman's eyes lit up, as if he had some realization, he clapped his hands and shouted:
"Yes, soldiers can obviously walk backwards, and soldiers can also be spies!"
After finishing speaking, the old boatman arranged the chess pieces again and started playing chess with his left and right hands.
Xu Xian watched for a while, and at first he could see the battlefield and heard shouts of killing.
After a while, the chessboard disappeared, the chess pieces disappeared, and the world disappeared. Only the shadow of the old boatman's palm was as fast as the wind, and the thunder and lightning.
"After all, you have no spiritual roots. You can only see the surface, but not the way of the chessboard."
Xu Xian sighed secretly in his heart.
At this moment, a raindrop fell, the system interface flashed, and nine colors of light flashed in Xu Xian's eyes.
The raindrop quickly magnified in Xu Xian's eyes, and finally turned into a huge pet, falling suddenly into the old boatman's chess world.
Click!
The world in the chess game collapsed and turned into a phantom falling towards the West Lake.
The old man was horrified, and cracks spread on the chessboard.
That is the Taoist heart of the old boatman. If the Taoist heart breaks, will the old boatman be wiped out?
"Who exactly are you? Why?"
The old boatman looked at Xu Xian with eyes full of fear, confusion and confusion.
At this moment, the system interface flashed again, and another raindrop hit the chessboard.
This drop of rain is like a spring rain that nourishes all things. The cracks in the chessboard disappear and the old boatman's broken Taoist heart quickly recovers.
Xu Xian said:
"The young man's surname is Xu, his given name is Xian, and his courtesy name is Hanwen."
"I really met an immortal, but I didn't have enough understanding and didn't seize the opportunity, so I almost died."
With a sigh, the old man said:
"I don't want to mention my old name anymore, you can call me a chess idiot.
It's raining. Let me take my little friend to Qiantang Gate first. "
It did rain, and Bai Suzhen used the trick of retaining people on rainy days.
Xu Xian waited for Bai Suzhen's next step.
