Chapter Ninety-Six: The Strange Chess Room
A day later, in a rather remote and ordinary valley, Xun Qiu and Wei Jun stopped.
After finding this place according to the location recorded on the treasure scroll, Xun Qiu found that this place was completely featureless, but in the wilderness, and it was not allowed to come once if someone had not seen it for hundreds of years, and if it were not for the map in hand, they would never have thought that there would be any treasure of the witch clan in this place.
"Although this place looks ordinary, if you look closely, there is still a slight trace of fine-tuning in the energy flow. After Wei Jun investigated, he said sincerely, to be able to achieve such a subtle and subtle level of energy circuit, at least he must be a fairyland powerhouse.
Xun Qiu nodded, his gaze rolling around, as if searching for something. After a while, he said affirmatively: "Yes, although it seems to be quite ordinary here, the qi of heaven and earth is relatively abundant, and the most important thing is that it is very balanced, which helps the construction of the formation and long-term stability, it is a good place to hide things, and the treasure of Wushan is hidden in it." ”
"Boss, did you find the entrance?"
"Not yet. ”
Wei Jun's gaze also circled around, but he didn't see any suspicious locations. With a flip of his wrist, Wei Jun had already held the leather scroll in his hand, and after a while, he shook his head and sighed: "Boss, I can be sure that the place we are where we are now is the center point of the map, but it is not easy to find the hidden treasure in this environment." ”
Xun Qiu smiled slightly, he stretched out his hand and pointed to the right. Wei Jun looked in the direction of his arm, where at the end was a stone wall in the valley.
Wei Jun looked at it suspiciously, and after a while, his eyes lit up, and he said in surprise: "Boss, I seem to have seen it too." ”
At first glance, there may not seem to be anything unusual about the stone wall, but if you look closely, you can see that the stone wall here is somewhat smooth, and it is clear that it is not natural. However, this difference was not obvious, and if it weren't for the reminder of Xun Qiu, Wei Jun might not be able to easily find this difference from this huge valley.
Xun Qiu's eyes were full of magic wheels, and from behind the stone wall, he could vaguely see a hollow.
Xun Qiu stretched out his hands and pressed them flat against the stone wall, the energy in his body slowly entered the stone wall, and slowly his face showed a different look. This stone wall seemed to be very ordinary, not much different from the surrounding stone walls, but when the energy in his body was infused into it, he realized that this thing was far from being comparable to ordinary stones.
"Isn't this the place?"
Xun Qiu smiled dumbly and said, "It must be here." ”
But having said that, the stone in front of him actually had an extremely strong effect of absorbing energy, and Xun Qiu could feel that this stone wall spread the absorbed energy to the entire valley in a teleportation array situation. In other words, if you want to open this place with brute force, you need to have the strength to break through the entire valley, and Xun Qiu believes that with his current cultivation, he can still do this.
However, Xun Qiu will not act blindly, because this wall or the space behind the wall is connected to the entire valley, once the entire valley is broken, everything will be destroyed, then he will not have to find any treasures.
Just when Xun Qiu was helpless, he suddenly felt a force in the Qiankun bag wake up, Xun Qiu wanted to open the Qiankun bag to take a look, but only to see a flash of light in the Qiankun bag, and the spirit puppet had already jumped out.
"Where did the puppet come from?" Wei Jun was startled by the puppet that suddenly came out, but what surprised him was far from over.
After the spirit puppet appeared, the stone wall slowly trembled, and then with a squeak, the stone wall cracked out a gap one person wide from it, and the spirit puppet directly turned into a black shadow and rushed in.
Wei Jun's eyes widened, his gaze lingering on the cracked stone wall for a moment, such a strange thing was indeed unheard of.
"Let's go in and have a look. Xun Qiu got in, and Wei Jun followed behind Xun Qiu.
Entering the stone wall, there is a dark red cave, the reason why it is called dark red, that is because there is a skull placed at the two ends of the cave a few steps away, and the two eyes of the skull are like two flames, emitting a faint red light. A gust of wind blew out of the cave, which made people feel even more creepy.
Xun Qiu and the two glanced at each other, not knowing if there was any danger here, and they were a little apprehensive in their hearts.
Taking a slight breath, the power of the Buddha Gate in Xun Qiu's body quietly flowed, expelling the gloomy aura around him, and then he and Wei Jun entered the cave one after the other.
They cautiously probed around, not sparing the slightest abnormality. Their steps were very slow, and the ground inside the cave was unexpectedly flat for the two of them, obviously specially groomed.
Along the way, neither of them spoke, and the rendering of the dark red atmosphere around them made people feel a little creepy. The atmosphere was quiet and scary, as if a needle could be heard clearly when it fell on the ground.
At this time, if a scream suddenly sounded, it should be able to scare the souls of Xun Qiu and Wei Jun out.
On this road, the two do not know how long they walked.
"It seems like we're coming to an end. The light in front of them was slightly transmitted, and Xun Qiu reminded them that when they came to the end of this section of the road and turned the corner, there was a sudden light in front of them.
Finally, the light ahead suddenly lit up. The two looked at each other, and they knew that they had reached the deepest part.
There is indeed a cave here, and above the head, there is a huge crystal sphere, this huge unknown object emits a faint white light, illuminating this place similar to the inside of the temple.
In this square space, there are three passages around it, and directly opposite the passage where they enter is a wall, and the wall is depicted with hieroglyphs that are not incomprehensible at all, as well as some strange, even hideous, pictures. There is a road on the left and right, which leads to other unknown places.
His eyes swept over the two passages, and Xun Qiu immediately pointed to one of them and said, "It's weird here, let's act together, let's go here first." ”
The two walked along the road, and this time it didn't take long for them to reach the end of the road without a hitch.
At the end of the cave is still a hall like a cave, but the entire cave is built in all directions, like a normal person's room. There is nothing superfluous here, just a stone bed, a stone table, and two stone benches.
Xun Qiu and the two looked at each other suspiciously, and stepped forward to the stone table.
There is a lot of dust in the room, but the strange thing is that there is not the slightest dust falling on this stone table, and there is a chess game carved in the center of the stone table, and on both sides of the stone table are bowls containing black and white chess pieces, and the chess game on the stone table is not finished.
At this moment, Xun Qiu had a feeling, as if there were still people playing here in the last second, as if they had something important, and suddenly left.
When staring at the chess game seriously, Xun Qiu seemed to be able to see how these chess pieces were placed one by one, and the order in which these white pieces were placed seemed to be connected into a strange trajectory. The mystery of this trajectory seems to be incomprehensible even to the current Xun Qiu.
But in addition to this mystery, it seems that the chess game in front of him stopped at the most important place, so that the mysterious trajectory in Xun Qiu's heart has no follow-up. Xun Qiu believed that if this chess game was finished, he would definitely be able to learn something important from the trajectory formed by Bai Zilian.
With this discovery, Xun Qiu looked at the black chess piece again. After checking, Xun Qiu found that he had guessed correctly, and there was also some kind of mystery in the placement trajectory of these black chess pieces, but it was also lost at the most important moment.
Wei Jun stretched out his hand and touched the chess piece, Xun Qiu had time to stop it, but Wei Jun's fingers didn't pick up the chess piece after touching it.
"What's going on?" Xun Qiu looked at Wei Jun's expression and felt that he didn't seem to be joking.
"Can't pick it up!" Wei Jun looked stunned, and Xun Qiu then tried it with half a doubt, and found the same situation.
The pieces appear to be placed randomly, but they are connected to the surface of the stone table, and cannot be moved in the slightest. With Xun Qiu's current strength, even a stone the size of a room can be easily lifted, but he can't hold a chess piece in front of him.
Xun Qiu tried to increase his strength, intending to pick up one of the pieces, but it still didn't work, and then he withdrew his palm and took a long breath.
"Let's go, this should be left by some ancient power, with our current cultivation, we can't understand it. Xun Qiu looked at Wei Jun and said helplessly.
Wei Jun nodded, surprisingly easy to speak, although his cultivation in the Ninefold Flying Ascension Realm was already quite high, but since entering this room, he felt as if he was being watched by a pair of eyes at any time, and in that gaze, he felt a vague and powerful force, so strong that he felt as weak as an ant.
Where a powerhouse of the Ninefold Ascension Realm can feel this way, how could he be willing to stay any longer.
Subsequently, Xun Qiu and Wei Jun exited the stone room the same way, and for some reason, when they withdrew, both of them were cautious, as if they were afraid of disturbing the gods here. It's like there are really two people playing in front of the stone table, but the two of them can't see each other. The two of them watched for a few minutes before quietly exiting.
When the stone chamber was quiet again, it was as if nothing had happened and no one had come. The chess game was still quietly placed there, waiting for the original person to come back and continue the unfinished game.
