Chapter 50: Totem Lock

After Shangguan Yi left, he naturally didn't go home, he didn't know how long it was, so he could only race against time.

He chose to go to the ancestral hall to find out, no matter what, it was the core of the village, and there should be some key information hidden in it, even if it was taken away, there should be some clues left.

It is said that his injury is not yet healed, so he should follow what Fu Changan said, lie in bed today, start to do a little recovery exercise tomorrow, and slowly heal the injury. But the situation is critical, and he can't give so much time, besides, Shangguan Yi feels that he has eaten the Creation Pill, and his recovery power is simply invincible, as a man who has been drugged, he will not have a problem dealing with a person who is a double heaven now.

Don't ask, asking is that the artist is bold, even if he forcibly drives the duck to the shelf, it is also the art master bold!

Yes, don't look at what Shangguan Yi said, what has a chance of winning, you can get the people over there, leave the tunnel to me, and give you an answer within three days. In fact, they all slapped their swollen faces and became fat, pretending to be full of confidence, and stabilized Lin Xiao to make him die.

It seems a bit too insidious and ruthless to say this, but Shangguan Yi is indeed for Lin Xiao's good, he is just tempting Lin Xiao to make the best choice at the moment. He is not like himself, he really can't do it, he can still be cheeky and eat soft rice with a little white face, hugging Fu Changan's thighs and begging for a cover.

In fact, the position of the two people is the same, they both want to solve the conspiracy of the Demon Sect and send them all to Hades. So Shangguan Yi first drew a big cake for him, told him the price of eating the cake, and let the hungry Lin Xiao think about it, as for how to make the cake, it depends on Shangguan Yi's ability.

Quietly avoiding the patrol on the road, Shangguan Yi specially picked up a remote path to walk, and after making many turns around N times, he finally entered the ancestral hall cautiously. This place is a good place for ambushes, and it is also a good place to make dumplings, for people like him, whether it is an enemy ambushed inside, or there is any noise, disturbing others, and then being dumpling, it is quite a dangerous thing. He had to be very careful.

In fact, this ancestral hall is a bit like a temple, but it is much simpler and rude, the main entrance is the main hall, and before the main hall is a long table, some dried fruits and other things, which seem to hint at its role. It's just that I don't know what I've experienced, and now it's a mess on it, and even the ground is a bit of a mess, as if it has been looted.

"You did it that night, right? A low, magnetic voice sounded from above Shangguan Yi's back.

In normal times, Shangguan Yi may still have the leisure to guess whether the owner of the voice is as good as this beautiful voice, but until now, he is only full of horror.

With a "bang", Shangguan Yi directly drew out his short sword, turned around and looked over vigilantly, the moonlight shone from their side, he could only see his handsome half of his face, but I believe that the other half of his face must be just as good-looking. The sword eyebrows shrank, a pair of eyes stared straight at Shangguan Yi, he stood on the wall of the ancestral hall, looking down at him condescendingly, his right hand on the knife at his waist, as if ready to strike at any time.

"Be careful of the very handsome guard in the Zhen Dynasty's forces, who is about twenty years old. ”

Lin Xiao's reminder echoed in Shangguan Yi's ears, he never thought that the person who he just knew to pay attention to during the day would have already met him at night, and looking at it like this, there was a fight to fight, and it should not be very likely to win.

"If I just want to ask you a few questions, can you answer me truthfully? He suddenly said this, as if he was convinced.

"There is no such thing as a free lunch, and it is so simple to know the truth. Shangguan Yi sneered, and his posture was a little higher.

"Then you say a condition?" he was not surprised, and said this sentence naturally, and it seemed that he had already guessed this result.

"It's very simple and fair, you ask me a question, I ask you a question, and both sides tell lies. Shangguan Yi put forward conditions.

"Okay, this condition is acceptable, you can ask first. The man replied cheerfully.

"Why are you here?" Shangguan Yi was not embarrassed, and directly asked what he wanted to know.

"This question, to make a long story, is as simple as more than one problem to explain, so I'll cut it short, it was an accident, I just happened to find you, so follow up and take a look. "He's also smart, explaining a problem leads to more questions, and Shangguan Yi doesn't know if he can trust him, such a coincidence?

"It's my turn, what is your role in this. He asked, the question is a bit sharp, and it's critical, knowing that you can get a lot out of it.

"Gamebreaker. Shangguan Yi said proudly, and he was not afraid of cowhide blowing.

"So, you're the same as me. His eyes lit up.

"It's my turn, so there's no comment. I want to know what you're looking for me for. Shangguan Yi's eyes were sharp. During the day, when he heard that this person was inciting the masses to find him out, he felt a little puzzled, even if he killed two people, it was not their person, and if he died, he would die, and the enemy of the enemy was a friend, understand?

"I just want to find a breakthrough from you, and to tell you the truth, I want to live, and I have a reason why I have to live. He came down from the wall, gave up his guard against Shangguan Yi, and spoke sincerely, which made people involuntarily want to believe him.

"You just stand there, don't play tricks, who wants to die if you can live, find a breakthrough from me? I don't have a breakthrough myself!" Shangguan Yi said angrily, and his vigilance against him was not less at all, but more.

He naturally saw it, smiled helplessly, and said, "Looking at your appearance, you are also a cautious and cautious person, and your martial arts cultivation is not so high, so you definitely suffered a lot of injuries when you killed those two people." I don't know what medicine you're taking, and I don't know how you're doing now, but I don't think you're at least at your peak. ”

"Are you threatening me?" Shangguan Yi also smiled, sneering, although he was masked, it was not very obvious.

"I didn't mean that, I just wanted to say that if you can let a cautious and cautious person run out of a safe place and come to look for clues with injuries, you can see something. You know a lot, time is running out, and there may be something very important here. These are the breakthroughs I want, I can swear by my personality, we can be comrades-in-arms, and there is a lot of strength, with me joining, I want to have a better chance of coming. This time, he can be said to have said all the words in his heart, and Shangguan Yi was a little confused.

"I can't trust you. Shangguan Yi hesitated for a moment and said.

"I understand. He was a little lost, but he also knew Shangguan Yi's concerns, casually believing in a stranger, or this kind of juncture, it was easy to fall into a desperate situation that could not be turned over. He straightened his clothes and said, "Then I'll let you go, come on." Finally, if it's possible, give me a boost, thank you. ”

He said this very reluctantly, almost gave up hope, and the last glimmer of hope was pinned on the charity of others, with his temperament, this was simply unacceptable, but he did it anyway. If you can't really give up, how can you fall into the dust?

The lonely look he turned around touched Shangguan Yi, and he remembered that his former self, or Shangguan Yi in the past, was also so helpless.

"I'm not done yet, I can't believe you, but if you dare to believe me, just take this pill. There are five in the bottle, you eat one now, then you don't feel well and you eat the second one, and so on. These five are enough for you to survive this incident, and I will give you the antidote when it is over. It would be better if you could tell me by the way why you want to live so much. Shangguan Yi took out an ordinary small bottle, put it in the palm of his hand, and said lightly.

Yes, he relented and took risks.

"I believe in you. He smiled slightly, walked over and took the bottle, opened it and poured out one, ate it directly, and then carefully put away the rest. Finally, he frowned and said, "What is this? Why does it taste a little strange, no, it's very strange." ”

"Oh, I forgot, this thing is made a little... Hahaha, not a big problem. Shangguan Yi scratched his head and said inexplicable words, yes, this is not a poison, but a seven-heart glazed antidote given by Lin Xiao.

"After eating, your body will be a little hot for a while, restrain yourself, don't make any trouble, this is the doctor's order, I just forgot to say it. "Shangguan Yi looked back on the matter, and when he talked about the precautions, it was actually the effect of Fanghua being drunk.

He nodded and said, "Okay, I remember." As for why I want to live, I can only say that I am burdened with a sea of blood and hatred, and the enemy is high, and I have to live forever and always to be able to find a chance to take revenge. ”

When he said it, he didn't grit his teeth, nor did he show it, so he said it plainly, but it was even more terrifying.

Shangguan Yi believed it for no reason, nodded, and said, "Then don't hold me back, we don't have many opportunities." I'm here to find a blueprint for the village, and I guess it's here, it's important. ”

"Then let's get started, start with the yard?" he is also a doer, and he is about to start when he hears the goal of the mission.

"You search the yard, I search the inside, it should be unlikely that the yard will be searched, and I will search again after a while, so as not to miss it." Shangguan Yi did not hesitate and directly said the plan.

"Okay, let's get started. After he finished speaking, he went up and down a few times, went to a corner, and began to investigate little by little.

Shangguan Yi also entered the main hall and began to search inside, under the tablet table, near the statue, on the door, and in various corners.

After some time, he came in from the courtyard and said, "You can find a mechanism in the four corners, it looks like it makes no difference, I suspect that the secret door is opened, and it may or may not have what you want in it." ”

Shangguan Yi rushed to the tablet table, looked at it little by little, touched it, and said in his mouth: "Don't go in the secret door first, there may be a lore inside, and we are looking for the design drawings for this." ”

He hesitated for a moment, and just wanted to say something, but saw Shangguan Yi press down the base of a tablet, and then there was a slight movement in the hall.

The two of them followed the sound around the back of the statue, only to see a small rectangular secret door protruding there, and then moving upward, a chessboard extending horizontally, and above it was an endgame, the meaning of which could not be more obvious.

It's just this game of chess...

Shangguan Yi looked at this quaint wooden chessboard, the chess pieces on it were carved vividly, and they were the totems of Miao Jiang.

Totem chess!

One of the most bizarre and mysterious props in Miao Jiang, in the hands of the high priest of Miao Jiang, he can even deduce the heavenly machine. Of course, this is just a rumor, and no one knows whether it is true or not. It's more like a kind of chess, but it's harder to play. At least Shangguan Yi doesn't know how to play this kind of chess, but he has only seen it in books.

"Totem locks. Looks like you found the blueprint. Look at this wood, the texture is clear and has just the right amount of wood, which makes people feel refreshed. The quality of this game of chess is not low, but I don't know what the legendary game of heaven in the hands of the high priest looks like. He said with admiration.

"Unfortunately, I don't know how to play totem chess, and none of the people who brute-force the totem lock will survive, and there have been no exceptions since ancient times. Shangguan Yi's face was a little ugly.

"Since you can't, then it's my turn to do my part, Xiaosheng is not talented, and a game of chess is still okay. He smiled faintly, walked over to the game, and paused to ponder.

Shangguan Yi stepped aside to stand guard, waiting for him to untie the chess game.

After a while, he said, "Come here, I have something to tell you about this game." ”

Shangguan Yi walked over and saw him pointing to a chess piece, which was carved with a vivid spirit snake red flame, surrounded in the middle.

"If no other piece appears, it will die. If you take away the Vermilion Bird Fruit and don't eat it, you can still survive for a while. He said solemnly, and pulled out a golden chess piece.

As he moved, a gap of the same size opened under each piece, and when he put the pieces away, he put the golden piece into it, and the board was pulled open to the sides, revealing the sight inside: empty, nothing.

"What! this..."The faces of the two changed drastically, exchanged glances, and Shangguan Yi said helplessly: "I'm afraid that if it wasn't taken away, it was probably the Demon Sect." ”

"Actually, I just saw some textures on the back of the table in the courtyard, which is kind of like a map, but I can't really see it. He shook his head, drove out the disappointment, and told what he had found.

"Go check it out, I've got a fire fold. Shangguan Yi took out the fire fold and shook it in his hand.

The two of them got under the table and studied it carefully.

"Eight, nine, ten, this is the plan of the village. So, what is hidden in that place?" Shangguan Yi was a little curious.

"I can't guess, now is not the time to care about that, find this, and then?" he asked.

"It's not early, I have to go back, you take the opportunity to act, help Lin Xiao first, he is in the same camp as us, he is an old fritter, you deal with it yourself, if you have anything to ask, ask him." Also, let him rub this map tomorrow and meet in the old place. Dropping this sentence, Shangguan Yi hurried back, his identity is not suitable for being discovered, while the night is still thick and the sky is not yet bright, it is better to leave early.
