Chapter 488: Cracking the Endgame
In the confusion, Luo Yan didn't know if Qingyu and Mu Yan'er were still waiting for him in the Tianmen Mountain village outside, and he even began to worry a little about whether he could leave here alive.
In addition to studying chess games, he occasionally thinks about some mortal things.
The situation of being bullied by Huang Yuntao in Hongmu Village, the picture of Shangguan Feiyu helping him, the scene of Huyan Peiqing's silent dedication to him, and the playful smiling face of Mu Shanshan, Bai Xiangyi's charming charm, Feng Haixin's eyes when he said goodbye......
These experiences made him feel happy and gave him the motivation to persevere.
I don't know how many years have passed, and the aging Luo Yan can only crawl on the ground to watch the chess games on the last shelf.
Now, after each practice, he can only stand up on the bookshelf and go to get the next one.
In all these years, the voice he encountered when he came in was never heard again, and there was nothing left in the entire secret room except for the chess game, chess pieces, and chessboard.
He watched day and night, practiced, endured loneliness, and honed his mind.
When he finished reading the last book, he let out a long breath, and then countless chess pieces appeared in front of him, each chess piece seemed to have a spirit sense with him, and as his mind formed a different chess game in the air, the mind flickered, and the chess game also changed.
At this point, he also became a scruffy old man, with his eyebrows, beard, and hair on the ground, intertwined.
The white robe he wore when he came in was worn out, and his two skinny arms were exposed, crawling inch by inch towards the stone door of the secret room.
After seeing the endgame again, he pointed his finger at the lower end of a black piece and put the white piece on it.
Then I looked at the chess board, and all the chess pieces turned into monks in black and white robes, each holding a magic weapon, fighting fiercely.
The black-robed monks each held long knives in their hands, and their moves were fierce, as if they wanted to kill the white-robed side.
The white-robed monk on the wall first divided a part of the people to block the perimeter, and the rest formed a large array, giving birth to a white phoenix from the array.
As soon as Bai Feng appeared, he immediately screamed and swallowed the black-robed monks one by one. Eventually, it took off and flew around the chamber before burrowing headlong into the wall next to the stone door.
The originally closed stone door, after the phoenix entered the stone wall, made a "creaking, creaking" sound, and then slowly opened.
Immediately after that, a dazzling white light shot in, and the moment it hit Luo Yan, his body floated up and flew out.
After a period of dizziness, Luo Yan found that he was still sitting opposite Qingju, one arm was still in mid-air, and the surrounding environment had not changed.
However, the experience of the secret room seemed to be a dream, but he felt that this dream was too real, and the chess games he had seen were still clearly in his mind.
Qingju apologized embarrassedly again: "I'm sorry, Childe, I patted your arm to comfort you, but I didn't expect to touch the chess pieces, otherwise you will pick it up again?"
Luo Yan retracted his arm and said, "Don't regret falling into chess, it's time for you to fall into the sunspot." ”
Qing Ju smiled and placed a black piece next to the white piece he had just landed.
Luo Yan picked up another white chess piece without hesitation and put it down.
When Qingju raised the black chess piece again, her face changed greatly, and the great advantage she had established had become vanished after this white chess piece fell, and now it seemed that only one step away, most of the black chess pieces in the board would become dead chess.
She weakly dropped the black seed in her hand, and then Luo Yan put down the last white child in her hand and said, "Qingju Fairy, do you know how to leave this misty peak?"
Qingju said: "This peak has steep walls, thousands of cliffs, and in the forbidden place, if you want to leave from the outside, I am afraid it is difficult to climb to the sky, the only way is to see this chessboard in front of you, in the next congratulations to Gongzi for winning this game, and got the opportunity to use the chessboard once." ”
After saying that, she put the chess pieces on the board into the box next to her, then turned the chessboard over, put it on the ground, and pointed to the square in the middle, and a blue light immediately appeared around the chessboard.
Qing Ju pointed to the chessboard that had changed, and said to Luo Yan: "Childe still doesn't stand up?"
Luo Yan followed her instructions and stepped into the chessboard in the blue light, and then saw the chessboard slowly rise and fly towards a mountain peak in the distance.
Luo Yan only felt that he was on the spirit boat, and the whistling mountain wind was blowing in his ears.
In the depths of the valley, in that quaint hall, the white-robed old man with his ears and shoulders hanging down said dissatisfiedly:
"This kid is too lucky, so that he can get through, it's too unusual, and then this level has to be more difficult, so that he can retreat. ”
As he spoke, he also struck a golden light into the void.
On the peak where Luo Yan flew, there is an elegant courtyard, next to the rockery in the courtyard, a woman in a yellow dress with her hair in a high bun is grinding ink, and there are a few freshly written text panels on the desktop next to it.
At that moment, a golden light flew from the void and disappeared into the center of her eyebrows.
Then the woman frowned slightly, looked at the flying chessboard, and before it could fall, she reached out a little.
The chessboard, which was originally flat and stable, was clicked by the woman, and immediately flipped in the air, and then flew back.
Luo Yan fell from mid-air and landed in the pond, breaking off several lotus flowers.
And the splash of water splashed on the woman in the yellow dress, and a scream spread throughout the mountain.
Luo Yan, who fell down, crawled out of the lotus bushes covered in water, saw his embarrassed appearance and the yellow robe splashed on the woman's body, and hurriedly apologized:
"Fairy atonement, in the process of getting off the flight, for some reason, the chessboard under your feet suddenly broke down and fell here, frightening you, I will leave quickly. ”
The yellow-robed woman's apricot eyes widened, and she snorted: "I damaged my golden lotus, I just want to leave like this, how can there be such a cheap thing in the world." ”
As she spoke, she struck out with a palm, knocking Luo Yan, who had just turned around, to the ground, and then grabbed it back, carrying Luo Yan back like a cloth bag.
Then he was imprisoned on a stone pillar in the courtyard, no matter how Luo Yan struggled, he couldn't break free.
After doing all this, the woman in yellow went back to the back room to change into a robe, and then returned to the courtyard to continue grinding ink.
After that, she picked up the brush next to her, wrote the word "check" in the air, and then pushed it forward.
The golden font immediately flew towards Luo Yan, submerged into his body, and came to the dantian.
Luo Yan found that after his Yuan Ying saw this word, he became frightened, his body began to tremble, and he immediately shrank to the innermost part of the dantian.
Fortunately, the golden word "check" stayed in the dantian for a while and then dispersed on its own, which made the frightened villain breathe.
In front of this woman whose cultivation was much higher than herself, Luo Yan knew that any resistance would be futile, and the result would only bring more pain to herself.
He settled down, and when he looked at this woman again, he found that she looked exactly the same as Lan'er and Qingju before, which made him a little hard to believe.
However, with the misunderstanding with Qingju last time, he didn't take them for granted anymore, but asked cautiously:
"Have you heard of Lan'er and Qingju?"
"I don't know. The yellow-robed woman in front of her replied coldly.
"Then what should I call a fairy?" Luo Yan asked tentatively again.
The yellow-robed woman suddenly smiled mysteriously and replied, "Xin-Zhu, but no one who knows my name has left here alive, are you satisfied?"
Luo Yan's back was cold when he heard this, and he secretly thought in his heart, why was his luck so bad, how could he be brought to such a strange environment when he climbed the stairs, and he also met such three women with the same appearance, all of whom were unfathomable in their cultivation, and controlled themselves in the palm of their hands.
"Fairy Xinzhu, you imprisoned me here, how do you plan me to compensate your Golden Lotus?" After thinking for a moment, Luo Yan asked again.
"You can choose to be my scholar and grind ink for me for 10,000 years, or you can choose to defeat me and leave on your own. Xinzhu looked at him.
"Thank you fairy for your love, it's a pity that there is something to do, I'm afraid I can't stay here for too long, so the matter of being a scholar for ten thousand years can't be as you want for the time being.
And with my current cultivation in the early stage of merging, it will be difficult to defeat you to ascend to the sky, is there a third way to choose?"
"The third way is that I will make you into flower fertilizer and bury you under this pond forever. This time, Xin Zhu replied expressionlessly.
Luo Yan didn't speak again, but he was unwilling in his heart, and quickly thought about how to escape, and finally he thought of the Heavenly Demon Venerable in the Soul Cultivation Furnace and the Shangxian Yiqing who met in the Nameless Sea.
So, he separated a divine thought, first entered the soul cultivation furnace containing Yi Qing, told him about the situation outside, and then transmitted all the information he saw to him.
Yiqing smiled mysteriously after seeing it: "My soul is seriously damaged, I'm afraid I won't be able to help you this time, Jiren has his own natural appearance, woe, blessing rests, blessings, misfortunes." You go out, don't give up is the best outcome. ”
Luo Yan didn't seem to understand his words, but he knew that he would definitely not be able to count on him this time.
After leaving Yiqing's place, he went to the soul cultivation furnace where the Tianye Demon Venerable was located, and told the Tianye Demon Venerable about the situation outside and the phenomena he saw again.
The Heavenly Karma Demon Venerable's soul recovered much better than expected, and after hearing this, he laughed, patted Luo Yan on the shoulder and said:
"I didn't see that my apprentice still has such a blessing, I'm afraid this is unique in the Nether Realm!
It's just that you Terran monks are too cumbersome to do, like us demons, no matter what you do, you are straightforward and straightforward. When I'm fully recovered, you'd better go to the Demon Clan with me!"
Luo Yan said: "Demon Venerable senior, I can't even get through this level in front of me now, what are you talking about in the future, you said so much, do you want to help or not?"
Demon Venerable laughed again, "You kid go back and face it yourself, with your wisdom, you will definitely be able to find a way to leave, and I won't get involved." ”
