Chapter 348: There is another mystery
The roads stretched from under his feet, Su Mai was in front, Lu Yunxi followed closely behind, and he looked forward aimlessly after a step.
Between heaven and earth, except for this huge chessboard, there is nothing else, no mountains, no water, no grass and no trees, and nature has no direction to speak of.
Su Mai is okay, since going down the mountain, he has repeatedly encountered all kinds of strange things, before falling into the gap of reincarnation, alone in the dark I don't know how long, that feeling, than in front of him, is more desperate.
And Lu Yunxi grew up in Nanting Mountain since he was a child, as a famous star, and a genius disciple of the sect focused on training, in fact, there are very few opportunities to get involved in danger, for more than ten years, traveling down the mountain, most of them are ordinary, and rarely encounter a real threat, that is, something really happens, Nanting Sect disciples are all over the world, and she can also seek support in a short time, so this road is mostly smooth.
But coincidentally, over the years, several crises she has encountered have been related to Su Mai.
A few years ago in Ningzhou Cuiyun Mountain, inadvertently pursued the King Kong League, saved the Qingyi, but was injured by the Yin Jiu's Seven Demon Circles, if it wasn't for the old monk suddenly passing by, I am afraid that it will be difficult to be good, at that time, Su Mai was also one of the witnesses, but at that time he was just a worldly boy, hiding next to him to make a scene.
After that, in the Silkworm Mountain in Qianyuan City, the three of them bravely fought the soul demon, and the harm point was calculated, but fortunately, Su Mai stopped in front of her in time and saved her life.
Not long ago, on this Futu Island, it was a critical moment for Su Mai, who used the escape technique to help him escape, and finally ended up here.
Thinking about it this way, it seems that with Su Mai, I have never encountered anything good!
Lu Yunxi looked at the vast world, recalled these encounters, and couldn't help but smile bitterly.
"Su Mai, do you have a plan?"
"No ......"
"Between heaven and earth, there is nothing but these grids, it seems that if you go on like this, you won't be able to get out of this chessboard!" Lu Yunxi stopped and sighed.
"Miss Lu, why do you say we are here?" Su Mai was silent for a long time and suddenly asked.
"Naturally, it was sucked in by the chessboard!" Lu Yunxi replied, such an obvious question, but he didn't know what Su Mai meant.
"When we touched the black and white chess pieces before, there was only an illusion, but after you used your spiritual power, you were sucked in, I think there must be something strange in this!"
"What's so strange?" Lu Yunxi still stood up, his eyes on the sky in the distance, and replied in a casual voice.
"Perhaps, we are not sucked into the chessboard, everything in front of us is an illusion!" Su Mai replied suddenly.
"Hallucination?" Lu Yunxi frowned, looked around, but shook his head again.
"Could it be that we are already out of the realm?"
Lu Yunxi was secretly frightened, and then pinched her palm, and the real pain came, which made her frightened.
If this is the case, then the body of the two of them is outside the stone pavilion, wouldn't it be extremely dangerous, that strange person has a deep body, not good at walking, in this chess game, I am afraid that it is the game he set up, deliberately causing the two to fall into this.
"Su Mai, we may have been fooled!" As soon as he thought of this, Lu Yunxi suddenly felt frightened and shouted urgently.
"Why?" Su Mai heard and jumped up.
"This chess game, I'm afraid that the person deliberately made it, the purpose is to trap us!" Lu Yunxi replied, and then said: "You think, since that garden, that person has only had a voice, but he has never been hidden in the ground."
Show up, now that I think about it, he probably won't be able to show up!"
"You mean, he's a soul demon?" Su Mai suddenly remembered the Han family soul demon in the monkey cave, and thought of what the people in this garden had done, it seemed that there was indeed a bit of similarity.
However, after a while, it felt wrong.
"If it is really a soul demon, with Hua Buyao's cultivation, he will definitely try to bring him down, and he will not let him harm people again, and besides, thousands of years have passed, he has not been annihilated, then it is not difficult for this cultivation to reshape his true body, take a step back, if you want to get out of trouble, you can just find a physical body, why make so many famous halls and deceive us to come here?"
"Then according to what you said, what did he do if he let us into this water moon mirror sky?" Lu Yunxi did not agree with Su Mai's words, so he asked again.
"I don't know!" Su Mai shook his head and smiled helplessly at Lu Yunxi.
"Let's try to get out there. ”
When Lu Yunxi heard this, she sighed, although what Su Mai said was also reasonable, but she still couldn't let go.
Su Mai nodded, but when he looked at the sky chess, he was dumbfounded.
"How do I get out?" sighed in my heart, I can't see anything in this hellish place, and I really have no clue if I want to get out.
"Supposedly, if this ground is really a chessboard, there are only nineteen horizontal and vertical paths, why have we walked for so long, but we have not reached the end?"
Lu Yunxi saw Su Mai's sad look, and said suspiciously.
"Perhaps, we are looking in the wrong direction!" Su Mai was stunned for a long time, and then said suddenly.
"Directions?"
Lu Yunxi looked dazed, this place doesn't distinguish things, how can there be a direction?
"Since this chess game is boundless, it also means that there is no fixed chess grid, so we will take the previous foothold as the Tianyuan and try to finish the endgame on the stone pavilion. Su Mai said anxiously as he walked back.
"We've been around for a long time, and every square on this ground is no different, how can we find the place where we landed?" Lu Yunxi asked.
"Come with me......" Su Mai raised his hand, then slashed horizontally and vertically on the ground with his sword, and after thinking for a while, he raised his leg and turned back.
Lu Yunxi followed him suspiciously, and in less than a moment, she found the game of chess that she had drawn with her sword earlier.
"Su Mai, how did you find it?" Lu Yunxi was a little puzzled, and saw that Su Mai was turning around, and he didn't know how to recognize the way.
"The number of the nine palaces!" Su Mai smiled, and then said: "I saw that the chessboard was square, and when I was bored, I took the number of the nine palaces all the way and looked forward, not wanting to be unintentional, so I found the original way." ”
When Lu Yunxi heard this, he couldn't help but laugh a little, in this predicament with no way out, Su Mai still had the heart to count the nine square grids, this heart was really big.
"Then should we hold black or white?" Lu Yunxi stood on the position of Tianyuan, counted it silently, and then asked Su Mai.
"Naturally, it's black!" Su Mai replied.
"Why?" Lu Yunxi was puzzled, if he held white, it would naturally be Hua Buyao's game, at a glance, White had the upper hand, why did Su Mai abandon it and do the opposite.
"I suspect that what the people of the garden say is not true!" replied Sumai.
"You mean this game?" Lu Yunxi thought for a moment and replied.
"That's right!" Su Mai looked up at the sky, with a sword pillar on the ground, and then looked far away, and said slowly: "According to that person's words, Hua Buyao has abolished half of his body cultivation for this game of chess, if he wants to recover, he is afraid that he will have at least ten years of work, although I don't know why."
So, but at such a price, there will definitely be something he cares about, I remember that he once said at the time, this is not chess, but life, but the two of them played against each other, Hua Buyao cultivated to almost a celestial man, and was seriously injured, but that person did not seem to be affected, and said that Hua Buyao is still trustworthy, so thinking about it, there must be another mystery in this!"
When Lu Yunxi heard this, he was silent for a long time, and then he heard him say: "Could it be that there is another person who is playing against Hua Buyao?"
"I guess that the owner of the garden was not an opponent at that time, but a person who assisted, and the trustworthiness in his mouth should be what Hua Buyao promised him at the beginning, and then kept his promise, if he didn't guess wrong, Hua Buyao was only afraid that it was not the first time to come here, and it was for this chess game to come. Su Mai nodded and said unexpectedly.
"Hua Buyao came here for the chess game, how many times did he come?" Lu Yun was stunned, like falling clouds.
"At least twice!" Su Mai stretched out two fingers, shook them, and then said: "I guess he opened the passage of this ancient battlefield, not out of curiosity, but because he knew the secret of the bottom of the lake at that time, since the owner of the garden said that this stone pavilion existed before he came, it is very likely that Hua Buyao also knew about it from some channels, so he came here!"
"In this chessboard, is it any wonder that there are still secrets hidden?" Lu Yunxi was also very curious, with Hua Buyao's cultivation and status at that time, what could be so attractive to him?
"I don't know, but I can guess a thing or two!" Su Mai smiled mysteriously and continued.
"Let's hear it!" Lu Yunxi saw his unfathomable appearance and glanced at him lightly.
"Miss Lu, in your opinion, Hua Buyao was already the first person in Shenzhou at that time, whether it was cultivation, fame or even power, it was the choice of the moment, even your Nanting Sect, and you also lost the limelight, what do you want?"
"Monks cultivate immortals, what they seek is the way of eternal life, and compete with heaven and earth for longevity, but mortals are born in the world, that is, they live for a thousand years, and eventually they will inevitably disappear. For ordinary monks, being able to come and go freely between heaven and earth and live for hundreds of years is the extreme, but if you use Hua Buyao's talent and cultivation, then ascending to the immortal is not impossible to peep, so if you say that there is a request, I am afraid that it will be here!"
"That's right!" Su Mai nodded, and continued: "I remember that when I was just rescued by that phoenix bird, in a valley, I happened to meet Sister Shui, and she mentioned to me that the Tianyin Stone Drum had said that the monks suffered the most, but it was hopeless. ”
"Hopeless?"
Lu Yunxi was also curious, what does it mean to be hopeless?
"She said, the higher the cultivation, the more lonely it is, and the more you ask, and if you can't ask for it, it will be hopeless!" Su Mai said about this hopelessness, and he didn't realize it at the time, and when he thought of Hua Buyao's matter at this moment, he was quite emotional.
Lu Yunxi was silent for a moment, and then sighed: "The higher the cultivation, the more hopeless it is, how can ordinary monks like us understand the loneliness of those powerful heavens!"
"In this way, in this chess game, could it be that there is some peerless skill hidden in it?" Su Mai suddenly asked when he heard this.
"The road leads to the sky, different paths lead to the same end, and in the end, they all return to the basics, and every grass and tree can be used for their own use, and the exercises are of little meaning to them. Lu Yunxi shook his head lightly, not approving.
"In addition to the exercises, there can be something that can attract Hua Buyao, it is rumored that he entered Qingluo Mountain with Wanzang, isn't it just for the countless exercises in the Vajra Alliance?" Su Mai thought about Hua Xiang's words, and was a little puzzled for a while.
"This, only he knows, cultivation to this level, what he thinks is beyond our reach. ”
