Chapter 133: Karma Fire Chessboard
"Follow up, otherwise I'm not responsible for what happened." Xiao Xiao walked in front with a small lantern in her hand. The lantern emitted a bright blue light, dispelling the heavy miasma around everyone. Everyone was silent, or kept their heads down, or stared blankly at the passing trees in a daze, everyone had their own thoughts.
Xiao Xiao walked silently all the way to the end with Mo Qi, walking on this land that was once no longer familiar, the scenes of the past flashed in her mind, she looked up at Mao Mao's empty left sleeve, and her heart was sour. What the hell is wrong with a qiē......
The steep spring breeze blew through the lush trees, and the leaves made a dull roar in the wind, and the atmosphere around became more and more eerie. Zhiyan walked beside Shen Yuqing, looking at the blue light emitted by the lamp in Mao Mao's hand, and then looked back at the black miasma that had dissipated and gathered behind him, feeling nervous and apprehensive. She didn't know what awaited everyone in the unlit blue light, danger, hope, or despair.
As she walked, Mao Mao in front of her suddenly stopped, and she turned around, her pale face looked a little eerie under the blue light. She curled the corners of her mouth and a meaningful smile appeared on her face, "Alright, here we are." ”
"Arrived?" Zhiyan looked at Mao Mao suspiciously, this is obviously the same forest just now, and there are trees all around, no different from the previous journey. Is she lying to everyone?! This is not just the doubt of the obsession, but the doubt of everyone. Mao Mao smiled slightly, and quickly recited a strange spell in his mouth, "Open!" ”
With Mao Mao's cold snort, a silver-white light gate with a dazzling light suddenly appeared behind her, and everyone closed their eyes or blocked the strong light with their sleeves. When I opened my eyes, I found that Mao Mao was gone, and only the door was still quietly there.
"Damn, let him run!" Tianmo frowned a little angrily, "Who knows if the path she led for us is the right one!" I don't know what awaits us behind this door. ”
"It's from here," Ze Ran's eyelashes trembled slightly, "and a very strong aura of Yujiang's mana came out of the door." ”
"Without further ado, let's get in quickly." Xi Xin stepped forward excitedly, but was stopped by Ze Ran.
"Wait, none of us know what's going on inside. Although Yu Jiang will not hurt Yan'er, the others ...... But he doesn't necessarily let it go. After a while, everyone will follow me, so don't get separated. Ze Ran frowned, his eyebrows and eyes were full of stern expression, he summoned the Taihe Sword and held it tightly in his hand, stepping into the light gate, but the scene in front of him surprised him a little. As soon as everyone entered the cave, the door suddenly disappeared.
In front of them was a dimly lit cave, with only a lamp made of a human skull hanging from the stone wall on the right-hand side, and the flames jumped happily in the skull, but the light was extremely faint, illuminating only a small part of the cave.
But everyone could clearly see that on the ground was a huge chessboard, carved with all sorts of strange things. Xi Xin picked up the gravel from the side and carefully threw it on the "chessboard", only to see that a fire suddenly ignited where the small stone fell, and it was instantly turned into ashes.
"It's scary." Xi Xin clenched his fists and swooped behind Tian Mo.
"This is a unique mechanism of the Demon Realm, where each square on the chessboard is the contact point of a mechanism, and it can only be passed in a certain order. If there is a slight deviation, the soul will be burned by this red lotus karmic fire. If you fly directly through the air, poisonous gas will seep out of the cracks in the rocks, poisoning everyone here. Ze Ran frowned, he understood that Yu Jiang was not interested in such a thing, but he was afraid that Mao Mao was the one who deliberately brought them here. As for the purpose...... He turned his head to look at Xiao Xiao, and a little sigh flashed in his eyes.
Listening to Zeran's words, everyone's hearts couldn't help but raise their throats. It's so dangerous, and there's no hint of it, what should I do? Now that I can't move forward, and the door to get out is gone, do you want to die here?
Mo Qi pondered for a while, and said in a deep voice: "Zeran, this should be the enchantment under the white rabbit essence. Let's try it together and see if we can open it from the inside. ”
"This is actually Nishirainozawa."
"What?!"
"Although this is just an enchantment, I can't feel wrong about Ue's power. I've already tried, and with my current strength, I can't get out. I'm afraid that this enchantment was made by Mao Mao using the power of Yu Jiang. So, we now have only one way forward. ”
"And what's carved on the ground?" Tianmo asked with some curiosity.
"It's a kind of writing." Shen Yuqing paused, looked at everyone's surprised eyes, and continued to explain, "There is a treasure enshrined in the shrine of the Qi Palace, and that treasure will emit strange runes every night, which looks very similar to here. Some scholars in the court studied for a long time, and finally found that it was a very old script, and they tried hard for a long time, but they only deciphered a few words. ”
"Yuqing is right, there is indeed a kind of writing on this ground, which is the writing used by the creatures under the rule of Zhuan Xuan back then. And what is engraved here should all be the names of the medicines. ”
Drug Name...... Xiao Xiao's eyes widened suddenly, she hurriedly walked to the "chessboard", facing the entire chessboard, her eyes flashed with excitement and nervousness. One, two, three...... Eleven, twelve, thirteen...... Xiao Xiao carefully counted the lattices on the floor, and a bright light flashed in her eyes. Great, that's right, no more, no less, thirteen!
"Zeran, do you recognize these words?" She dragged Ze Ran a little excitedly and asked eagerly. Seeing Ze Ran nodding, she was so excited that she was about to burst into tears. Seeing Xiao Xiao like this, everyone was a little surprised. Her reaction made it seem as if she was expecting something, expecting something to be verified.
"That'...... On the first line, the second compartment of the floor is written...... Radix astragali? She looked at Ze Ran with wide eyes, her eyes full of anticipation.
"Yes."
"On the floor of the second row and the second block, is it atractylodes?"
"Yes."
"The first square of the third row, but the windbreak?"
"That's right."
"Great!" Before everyone could react to anything, Xiao Xiao jumped up and landed on the floor of the second grid of the first row.
"Xiao Xiao!"
"Senior sister!"
Xiao Xiao turned around and smiled lightly, looking at everyone confidently, "Don't worry, I think I know how to get through here." ”
