Chapter 051: The Chessboard World
Just as Qing Ming closed his eyes and felt the coolness, a gust of hot wind instantly woke him up. He opened his eyes and found that the place where he stood was no longer the cavern at the bottom of the waterhole, but an endless desert, with the scorching sun shining in the sky and streams of heat rising from the ground.
Qing Ming didn't understand what was going on for a while, he was still in the cave just now, how could he come to this place as soon as he opened his eyes. He carefully recalled all the previous details, and found that it was the chessboard that made the ghost, when he came into contact with the chessboard, he could deeply feel the coolness from the chessboard, maybe it was when he touched the chessboard, it changed, and this change happened to teleport Qing Ming to this ghost place.
Qing Ming looked at the sun suspended above his head, his body felt the hot wind blowing around him, and his brows couldn't help frowning.
It's really a wave of unevenness, and the embarrassment that was chased and killed in the water just now has not yet eased up, but now it is like staying in a furnace, scorched by the heat around it.
Now he really understands what the two heavens of ice and fire are, isn't it just that he has found a place to break through the martial realm, how can he still lead to so many things!
Qing Ming can only look up to the sky and sigh now, what can he do, he is also helpless.
Walking on the blazing sand step by step, looking around, there was a vast sea of sand, and there was not a single shadow of a plant. He struggled over a sand dune, and when he stood on the sand dunes and looked down, the sight in front of him made his heart shrink, because he saw that under the hill was an oasis, and the oasis happened to be located in a low-lying place, surrounded by large and small sand dunes on all sides.
No wonder Qing Ming never noticed its existence, it turned out that it was blocked by these sand dunes.
Qing Ming's heart was excited, and after rubbing his eyes again, after confirming that it was not a so-called mirage, he walked briskly towards the oasis.
After a while, he entered this oasis, this oasis is small from a distance, and when he really immersed himself, he realized that it was actually not small, but compared with the vast sand sea around him, the area seemed small.
Most of the low shrubs around the oasis are distributed, some plants grow very strangely, Qing Ming can't call their names, it is the first time he has seen these plants, only to see them covered with thorns, criss-crossing roots, and leaf veins are also very clear, not at all like the plants unique to the desert.
After walking a few meters, Qing Ming found a black stele half-hidden under the gravel, Qing Ming walked in, and saw two big characters "Fang Tian" written on the stele, he opened the part of the stele hidden under the gravel, and the word "stele" came into front of Qing Ming's eyes.
Qing Ming looked at this word, as if he had entered the tide of time through the ages, for some reason, he felt a little sad in his heart, life in the world, everyone will come to an end, he suddenly felt that he had lived for eighteen years, he had no success, the whereabouts of the master were unknown, the people around him were repeatedly hurt, and he could not protect his most beloved things, he felt that his life was wasted, and he failed to live up to his master's expectations, a trace of inferiority complex haunted his heart, this life is boring, it is better to repay the teacher's kindness in the next life.
Just as he was about to march in the direction of the dead end, the Blue Immortal Sword in his hand suddenly vibrated and let out a soft roar. Qing Ming noticed the change in his hand, and suddenly regained his senses, cold sweat broke out on his forehead, and the Qing Ming Sword had reached his neck at some point, as long as his hand retracted, then he would disappear from this world forever.
The black stele in front of me is too terrifying, it can make people lose their minds, control people's psychology step by step, and kill people invisibly.
Thinking of this, Qing Ming couldn't help but take a step back.
"Fang Tian Monument!"
Three big characters appeared on the stele, for some reason, Qing Ming always felt that this stele was very weird, and his back was still in a cold state, in this hot desert, especially in front of this stele, Qing Ming was covered in cold sweat, as if standing in front of him was a strong man from ancient times, and the strong oppressive force made him breathless.
"Buzz ......"
There was a vibration in his ears, and Qing Ming found that the Qing Ming Sword in his hand had emitted a trace of cyan aura at some point, and the blade was constantly shaking. After a while, the oppressive force on Qing Ming's body disappeared without a trace, and Qing Ming couldn't help but sit on the sand.
The pressure disappeared, and the Blue Stygian Sword returned to silence.
Qing Ming understood that all this that happened just now was saved by the cyan sword in his hand, it seems that this Qing Ming sword is really not simple, and it can compete with the strange Fang Tian Monument in front of him. Qing Ming stood up, glanced at the black stone tablet again, and no longer lingered, bypassing him far away, and entering the depths of the oasis.
Qing Ming walked in, the more abundant the plants inside, and even the figure of an arbor appeared, and after a while, the sound of the stream came from Qing Ming's ears.
Is there still a stream of water that can't be flowed?
Puzzled, he continued to walk in the direction of the current, and not far away, he saw a small stream flowing from the oasis in the distance. Qing Ming walked in and saw that the water flow here was crystal clear, not much worse than the mountain spring water.
A burst of thirst came, Qing Ming couldn't care so much, he held the stream water with both hands and drank a few sips, the stream water was cool and dry, after replenishing the water, Qing Ming looked up, and saw an ancient tree next to the stream, and a figure under the ancient tree was sitting with his back to him.
Qing Ming secretly screamed in his heart, he didn't know when this person appeared, and when he approached here, he didn't find any breath.
"Senior, please forgive me for inadvertently entering your territory!"
Qing Ming said respectfully to the black back, but the figure did not respond to him, Qing Ming repeated again, still did not respond. So he cautiously approached the ancient tree, and when he came to the ancient tree, he realized that the black back was actually a human skeleton.
In front of the skeleton is a chessboard with a piece in each of the four corners, two black and two white, and a white piece in the middle. Qing Ming is horrified, isn't this the chess game I saw in the cave!
Could it be that the skeleton in front of him is the so-called chess player, but the opposite side of him is empty, only a stone bench.
Who is he gambling with to the point of dying?
Just as Qing was thinking for a moment, the skeleton in front of him suddenly moved, and then he saw two blood-red rays of light suddenly appear in the skeleton's empty eyes. As if the skeleton had come back to life, a bony hand jerked forward, trying to grab the green underworld.
Seeing that the situation was not good, Qing Ming frantically urged the power in his body to flee backwards.
