067: Broken chess
The two looked at each other and stood up at the same time, is it really about to appear?
Chu Haokun smiled and said: "Zheng'er, it seems that the monster here is really eyeing you, this is the third night that the young master came in and stayed, and this thing didn't appear, it seems that you are very lucky!" ”
Si Xinjun rolled his eyes: "Since you are so envious, this luck is good for you." ”
"Don't worry, with the young master here, no matter what luck you have, it's all in your way." Chu Haokun pulled a few sword flowers from the sword in his hand, looking informal.
The two raised their vigilance and stood for a while, the wind began to blow stronger and stronger, Si Xinwei was a little unsteady, and was actually carried out a few steps by the wind, Chu Haokun hurriedly grabbed her, and stood in front of her to block the wind.
The mountain wind blew more and more violently, Chu Haokun held Si Xinwei's hand tightly with one hand, and held the sword in front of him with the other, cold sweat broke out on his forehead, his ice blue eyes were deep and cold, and the usual unrestrained color on his face was completely gone, and it was full of seriousness and condensation at this time.
Most of the area is a small rolling dirt slope, and there is not a single tree, so there is no shelter from the wind.
"Zheng'er, no matter what happens, don't let go of my hand!" Chu Haokun said loudly, and as soon as he said it, he was blown away by the wind.
Si Xinjun is very bad now, the wind is too strong, and when he opens his mouth, he is filled with the wind with sand, and it is difficult to even take a breath, and he can't answer Chu Haokun's words at all, and his two little hands grasp his hand tightly to signal that she heard.
Both of them held their breath, and a gust of wind blew over, blowing the two of them out more than a dozen steps away, and scraping Si Xinwei to the ground, Chu Haokun was startled and was about to pull her up, but Si Xinjun pulled his hand and motioned him to squat, Chu Haokun understood what she meant, squatted down, and sure enough, the pressure was much lighter.
Just when they thought they could breathe a sigh of relief temporarily, the hurricane began to form again, blowing more violently than one another, Chu Haokun protected Si Xinwei under him, and the two of them were completely lying on the ground.
Bursts of strong hurricanes roared like hideous demons, as if they were about to tear the world apart.
Layers of sand fell on them, and there was sand in their mouths, noses and eyes, but they couldn't take care of these anymore, their four fingers grabbed the ground, Si Xinwei felt that all ten fingers were worn out, but the two of them were still blown away by the hurricane again and again.
"Whew... Whew..."
A bigger hurricane rolled over again, and the two were blown up again at the same time, Chu Haokun hugged Si Xinjing tightly, and rolled away about half a mile with the hurricane, and finally rolled under a hill, Chu Haokun grabbed a stone with his hand before stabilizing his body.
"Zun'er, how... How's it going? Chu Haokun shouted hard.
Si Xinjing shook his head, indicating that he was fine, and waved his little hand not to let him speak, saving some effort.
The two of them lay at the foot of the hill, and after another two or so moments, the hurricane seemed to be getting smaller and smaller, and the whistling sound gradually stopped, and both of them had a feeling of the aftermath of the catastrophe.
After a long time, Chu Haokun said: "Zheng'er, the wind seems to have stopped, let's get up!" ”
Si Xinjing moved, and the two of them sat up at the same time, and a thick layer of soil on their bodies fell down with a clatter.
"Ahem! Ahem..."
Both of them were choked on the sand and coughed violently, Chu Haokun was a little better, and after a while, Si Xinwei raised his eyes and looked around, his face changed again, and he grabbed Chu Haokun's hand with one hand and said, "The tornado is here again, run!" ”
Chu Haokun also saw it, and the two of them were about to run, but it was too late, at the moment when the tornado enveloped them, Chu Haokun hugged Si Xinjing tightly, and the bodies of the two were instantly swept into the air and disappeared into the weird night.
"Ahem! Ahem..."
Si Xinjin felt dizzy, and her throat was very dry, she coughed a few times, slowly opened her eyes, and saw Chu Haokun's enlarged face staring at her, she sat up in shock.
"Zheng'er, you're finally awake!" Chu Haokun breathed a sigh of relief.
Si Xinjing looked around and found that they were in a grand hall, and asked, "Where are we?" ”
Chu Haokun shook his head and said, "I just woke up for a while, and when I opened my eyes, I found it inside." ”
Si Xinwei stood up, thinking that they had lost consciousness after being swept away by the tornado before, could it be that the tornado sent them here?
"How did we end up here? Have you already left the Valley of the Crouching Devils? ”
Chu Haokun shook his head and said: "I tried to use spiritual power just now, but it was sucked away in an instant, it seems that we are still in the Crouching Demon Valley, and this hall has no door at all, and we are trapped in it again." ”
Si Xinjing also checked the entire hall when he heard this, and sure enough, not to mention the door, there were no windows, there were walls on all sides, the roof was very high, and there were two large stone pillars in the middle.
"It looks like someone brought us here on purpose, what is this person's purpose for us?"
"It's a blessing or a curse, it's a curse that can't be avoided, if we really have what this person wants, he will appear sooner or later." After Chu Haokun finished speaking, he began to knock around on the wall with his sword, hoping to find an exit.
As she walked around the temple, trying to get Fluttershy out to help investigate, Fluttershy's voice came into her head, "Master, since entering this valley, Fluttershy hasn't been able to find any news. ”
Si Xinwei sighed slightly, the chain fell off at the critical moment, and she also tried her spiritual power, but it still didn't work.
She turned on the Divine Pupil Technique, a pair of pupils instantly turned red, and her eyes swept every corner of the entire hall like a scanning machine, Chu Haokun was still concentrating on knocking on the walls and corners of the ground, and did not notice her abnormality.
Si Xinjing's gaze finally stayed on the roof, there was a square in the middle of the roof, and he couldn't see it at all if he didn't open the magic eye, and looked carefully again, it turned out that this was a chessboard, but it was not a simple chessboard, and it was like a formation, could it be that this formation trapped them?
Chu Haokun felt tired of knocking, turned around and wanted to rest for a while, and saw that Si Xinjing was still looking up at the roof, Chu Haokun noticed her strange appearance, and also went to her side to look up, but he didn't see anything after looking at it for a long time.
"Zun'er, did you find anything?"
Si Xinwei nodded and said, "Well, a formation, it seems that if we want to go out, we have to break this game of chess." ”
"Formation? Breaking chess...? ”
Chu Haokun was stunned when he saw her red pupils, but then he thought that she might have cultivated the eye technique, including herself, didn't she also practice the eye technique!
Si Xinjing suddenly pointed to a place and said to Chu Haokun, "You might hit that groove next to you with your sword?" ”
Chu Haokun also opened his eye, looked in the direction she was pointing, and also saw the groove clearly.
"I'll give it a try, you leave the point first, you can't use spiritual power, you may not be able to shoot once."
Si Xinwei nodded and walked aside, Chu Haokun pulled out his sword and threw the scabbard upwards hard, this time he really let him hit.
"Click!"
With a bang! The ground where Chu Haokun was standing suddenly moved, he was startled and hurriedly ran to Si Xinjing's side, the two stared at the ground, and saw that there were two floors on the ground that were slowly separating to both sides, about three square meters or so, and a square stone slowly rose from the ground, rising about one meter above the ground and stopping.
Si Xinjing and Chu Haokun glanced at each other, feeling that it was getting more and more weird, and after a while, the surroundings fell silent again.
"Zheng'er, I'll go over and have a look first!"
Chu Haokun saw that there was nothing else unusual, so he walked to the stone table, and Si Xinjing also followed.
"It's this dead game, exactly like the one on the roof, see if you can solve it?"
Si Xinwei touched her chin and looked carefully at the chessboard, suddenly her face changed, she saw the murderous aura permeating the chessboard, under the eyes of the technique, the entire chessboard seemed to come alive, as if she was fighting on the battlefield.
Chu Haokun also looked at the chessboard and was pondering, and suddenly, he felt the blood and qi in his body surging, and quickly withdrew his gaze, closed his eyes, and clicked a few acupoints on his body.
But it was still late, a trace of blood overflowed from the corner of his mouth, Si Xinwei was startled, and hurriedly put his fingers on his pulse, his heart was slightly relieved, he couldn't use spiritual power to run the medical Dao exercises to heal him, so he had to take out a soul rejuvenation pill and a spiritual power pill for him to take.
"The meridians were reversed, fortunately, the acupuncture points were not seriously injured in time, otherwise! Even the gods can't save you, I didn't expect such a heavy murderous aura hidden in this game of dead chess! Si Xinjing said coldly.
Chu Haokun took the pill, and after a while, he felt that his qi and blood were much more comfortable, and he asked in surprise: "Zheng'er, how can you have a six-grade soul rejuvenation pill?" As far as I know, in the entire mortal spirit realm, no one has yet been able to practice the six-rank elixir. ”
Si Xinjun glanced at him and said, "Isn't there one now?" You used it and still so much nonsense! ”
Chu Haokun grinned and said, "Aren't I curious! Zheng'er, is there any six-grade soul rejuvenation pill? Give me another one! ”
"This is the only one, and you know that no one has been able to practice it yet? It's hard to find medicinal herbs. Si Xinjing refused, there are indeed not a few soul rejuvenation pills, and now Xiaobai has fallen into a coma again, and it will be difficult to use the pill in the future.
Chu Haokun had no choice but to say, "Okay! If you refine it again next time, remember to leave me one, and when the time comes, I will show it off in front of those old men, so that I can envy them to death. ”
Si Xinjing supported his forehead, feeling that this Chu Haokun must be a darling who has been praised to the sky, and he can still maintain this innocence when he is so old!
Ignoring him anymore, he opened his eyes, avoided his edge, and carefully watched the remnants of the game.
Chu Haokun walked up to her and also turned on his eyes to watch, "Zheng'er, if I guess correctly, this should be a game of ancient chess chess, I once saw this chess in an ancient chess book. ”
Si Xinjing was slightly shocked when he heard this: "Ancient dead chess? So the people who play this chess here are also ancient people? What does this man want to do? ”
Chu Haokun said quietly: "Judging from the chessboard, no matter which move you take, it is a dead end, my master once let me watch a few games of the most famous dead chess, and some chess fans have never left the chessboard for even a few years." ”
Chess fan? Obsessive! Obsession?
Si Xinwei's eyes lit up, chess players generally have obsessions, if they still play chess according to the original idea, they can't solve it in another 100 million years, what if they do the opposite?
Holding a white chess piece and gently placing it in a position, the chessboard changed in an instant, and then put another one, Chu Haokun was overjoyed: "It's broken, the ancient dead chess piece has been broken, abandon the dead road... And open up another way out... Wonderful! How did you do that? Why didn't I think to take a step? ”
