gentle control

As a result, the wish failed.

Based on intuition, the chess game should be in a stalemate.

Often in this situation, the offense and defense are evenly matched, and it is difficult to easily determine the outcome in a short period of time.

Gu Yusheng didn't bother, turned around and was about to leave, but accidentally stepped on a pile of leaves.

Being in an open area, such a subtle sound could almost be ignored, but it was still noticed by the old monk.

Not long after, a smiling voice came from the bamboo forest: "The breaker has appeared. It seems that this is God's will."

Gu Yusheng was helpless.

She should have gone directly to Qianshan, maybe the ritual had just begun at this moment.

Return to the bamboo forest.

Zhou Zongyan turned his head slightly and saw that she was only wearing a thin sweater. He gave a gentle signal to her to put on her coat.

I was sweating all over, and the breeze was blowing on my face, sending a chill down my back.

Gu Yusheng couldn't help but sneeze. She looked up and met the man's doting and reproachful eyes. She smiled sheepishly.

"Can you play chess?" the old monk asked her.

Naturally.

Lao Gu is an expert in this field.

Ever since I was a child, I have been exposed to fighting on the battlefield with my father.

But she felt it was a trap and didn't want to answer.

However, the old monk eats fast and chants Buddha's name all day long, so what bad thoughts can he have?

Gu Yusheng pursed her lips and first glanced at Boss Zhou, who did not provide her with any hint of value, and then at the monk sitting opposite, who was sitting in meditation.

After thinking for a few seconds, she finally nodded.

She took two steps forward and took a closer look.

Ok?
It seemed to be different from what she expected.

It's not evenly matched, it's clear that the old monk's white chess piece has been eaten up by the black chess piece, leaving only scraps.

The situation is also very clear.

It’s already like this, why should we continue?

Gu Yusheng looked at the old monk resentfully.

The latter, however, looked incomprehensible. Anyway, he was just pretending to be confused and letting her do whatever he wanted. After all, he had to win.

People in Buddhism have a strong desire to win and lose.

She is embarrassed.

The tea beside him was getting cold, and the young novice monk came over to refill it.

The breeze was blowing slowly, and the girl stood quietly in front of the stone table. She turned her eyes slightly, not looking at the chess game on the table, but at Mr. Zhou who was drinking tea with his eyes lowered.

The timing is right.

While someone was distracted, Gu Yusheng picked up a white chess piece from the wooden bowl and clicked it somewhere.

When he looked back, the situation had completely reversed in an instant.

White's chess tore open the gap and found a way to survive among thousands of troops.

The old monk was so happy that he couldn't help but smile.

Zhou Zongyan's face was gentle, his eyes were smiling calmly, and there was nothing he could do to her.

sometimes.

What matters is the result, not the process or means.

There are things that the old monk cannot do.

But she can.

Before the game of chess was finished, it was time for lunch.

It was the first time that Gu Yusheng ate vegetarian food in the temple. It was light and plain, and the taste was no worse than the food in restaurants outside.

In the afternoon, Zhou Zongyan accompanied her to observe the remaining rituals.

Girls like novelty.

Things I have never seen before are always interesting.

Thinking of the undecided chess game, Gu Yusheng asked: "When will the next time we go up the mountain be?"

Zhou Zongyan spoke slowly and slowly: "Why do you think I will come again?"

"You're not one to put up with a mess," she said.

It's rare to hear such comments.

He expressed his willingness to hear the details.

Gu Yusheng walked in front of him, walking backwards with his back to the wind. His face was flushed, but his eyes were extremely bright, "You brought me here to relax, and it is not only mine, but also your own."

She said: "Mr. Zhou is used to strategizing everything he does. You will not allow things that are under your control to change, even if it is an escaped chess piece."

After that, she took out the stolen black chess piece from her coat pocket and raised her hand proudly, "But its whereabouts are unknown now, and you have no way of finding out."

Zhou Zongyan chuckled: "From your tone, you want to continue the counterattack with this tactic."

"Obviously I am an outsider, but I was tricked into the chessboard by the old monk. I am the most innocent one, okay." Innocent?

The old monk said that she was the game-breaker.

Zhou Zongyan was waiting for that day to see how the siege trapped in his heart would be broken by her.

The plan to stay at the Houshan Zen Temple failed to materialize.

Because she has a cold.

The most intuitive reaction is a sore throat and low-grade fever.

Gu Yusheng wanted to wait until tomorrow when she went down the mountain to get the medicine, but Zhou Zongyan's light eyes fell on her, making her not dare to struggle any longer.

Before leaving, I suddenly remembered that I had not found a wishing card for the big star.

It's already here, why not hang one up as well.

Holding the brush in hand, Gu Yusheng pondered for a moment.

After thinking for a while, he put the pen into Boss Zhou's hand and said, "I can't write well. Come on."

Zhou Zongyan asked her: "What to write."

silent.

The girl said without changing her expression: "Just write that everything goes well."

Obviously, this was not the result of her repeated hesitation just now.

Zhou Zongyan gave her one last chance.

Avoiding the man's gaze, Gu Yusheng said in shock: "Just write it as you want."

"What kind?" He was so busy.

"."

Just pretend you are.

Gu Yusheng angrily took the brush and scrawled seven words on the wishing card - Zhou Zongyan will live a long life.

Zhou Zongyan hugged her with a low smile, "Is this what I'm thinking about?"

"Who knows, it has nothing to do with me anyway."

How can it be all right.

He put his arm around her and took the wishing card and pen from her hand.

The fine hair tips are dotted with ink.

In the few blank spaces left, Zhou Zongyan wrote a line of regular script that was smooth yet vigorous.

Gu Yusheng read it silently and blushed.

She coughed lightly: "Can you express it more vaguely?"

I thought he was too straightforward.

Zhou Zongyan bent down and kissed the side of her ear, "I won't regret writing this."

No regrets are words.

Also people.

After finishing writing, she took advantage of her family's natural height advantage and hung the wishing card on a high branch.

While the sky was still bright, Gu Yusheng stood on the circular stone pier and stood on tiptoe to look through each one.

This is where the wind blows.

Zhou Zongyan refused to allow her to play any more and was about to take her away by force. The girl hugged her neck tightly and pointed to a wishing card swinging at a high place behind her, "Wait a minute, help me see if that is Wen Jin's." ."

She has intuition.

With the big star's unwillingness to admit defeat, he will definitely hang the sign in the most conspicuous position.

Seeing her persistence, Zhou Zongyan indulged her one last time.

He raised his arm and stretched towards the tree trunk, and the answer would soon be revealed.

Gu Yusheng stared at it without blinking and asked expectantly: "How is it, right?"

The wind seemed to calm down.

Zhou Zongyan's calm gaze passed over the words above. He didn't know what he saw, but a hint of coldness suddenly appeared in his originally gentle eyes.

Fingers release the wishing card.

The bent branches bounced back.

Lowering his head to meet the girl's clear eyes, Zhou Zongyan looked at her quietly for a while, then directly picked her up and strode down the mountain with an expressionless face.

No.

Gu Yusheng shook his legs and said confusedly: "Isn't it Wen Jin?"

The man's jaw was stiff and he didn't speak.

She asked unwillingly: "Is that true? Please give me your reaction."

"Zhou Zongyan, you-"

"If you like to bark, I'll let you bark as much as you want tonight."

"."
