Chapter 42: Lotus Terrace
Looking at the back of Bai Shu and the four of them leaving, Uncle Lancang sighed heavily. This farewell, I don't know when the next meeting will be.
When Baicao Bannong saw it, he said with a smile, "The child's path always has to go by himself, and it is also a good thing to let the child go out and wander, not to mention, the situation over there is not as bad as we imagined, at least for us cultivators, it is a good place over there." ”
Uncle Lan Cang nodded and didn't say anything more.
"Instead of thinking about it, help them delay some time. After a moment of silence, Baicao Bannong said, "These people are also about to wake up." The half-farmer pointed to the sleeping men.
"Why did Mr. Baicao help us for a while?" Uncle Lan Cang asked a little puzzled.
"Hehe, in order to return the favor. Baicao Bannong said lightly.
The four of Bai Shu kept walking forward, and in about half an hour, they walked out of the square square of Tianxuan Illusion Realm. So the road narrowed, and the sky darkened, and they crossed the winding stone path, through a sycamore forest, and over a small bridge, and at last there was a clear sight before them.
What catches your eye is a huge square chessboard, with lines crisscrossing and intertwining into chess sockets. Each route is a stone-paved path.
"Is this the Tianxuan Maze?" Bai Shu stared at the huge chessboard, the roads on it were staggered, such a complicated road, even if there was a map, it was difficult to walk through, Bai Shu was a little surprised, "No wonder it's called Tianxuan Maze." ”
"I am a witness to what a real miracle is today. Zhao Yu looked at the chessboard with a shocked expression, "I always thought that the legend was fictional, but I didn't expect to see it with my own eyes, it was really jaw-dropping." ”
Hu Yuting nodded, smiled and said, "Yes, it is a kind of luck to be able to see these wonders, and it can also be used as some good memories and talking points in future life." ”
"Brother Bai Shu, how can we get there? This kind of road is a headache to think about. Bai Jing said with some complaints.
Bai Shu was silent for a while, and then said, "Since it is a chess game, then the chessboard will only run if we step on the chessboard, so let's go up and take a look first, and then take one step at a time." ”
Bai Shu also told the truth, no one had ever touched these things between them at all, so it was obviously impossible for them to see the clues at once, and besides, the chess game had no opening at all now.
"Hmm. The four nodded.
So, Bai Shu led the four of them onto the chessboard.
Buzz, buzz, buzz, buzz. A strange sound.
Suddenly, the sky over the chessboard turned into a starry sky. The chessboard glowed, and the chessboard was surrounded by a curtain of light.
"Tianxuan maze, Kai. An old voice came from the starry sky.
Bai Shu frowned, "Is it already on?" Looking around, Bai Shu said secretly, "It seems that we won't be able to get out without breaking this chess game." ”
When Bai Shu and the four stepped on the chessboard, a star fell in front of them and turned into a white chess piece. There was a wave of spiritual power from the chess piece, and an energy body condensed by spiritual power appeared, and the energy body waved its fist and blasted towards Bai Shu and the others, Bai Shu's eyes widened, and he immediately mobilized his spiritual power and blasted out with a punch. Defeat the energy body.
"Huh?" Seeing this scene, Bai Shu was secretly surprised. "When the stars fall and turn into chess pieces, they will even turn into energy bodies to attack. ”
"Young people. It's your turn. At this moment, an old voice came from the starry sky.
Bai Shu and the others were a little stunned, they didn't know how to summon the stars and turn them into chess pieces.
"May I ask senior, what should we do?" At this time, Bai Shu looked at the sky, hugged his fists and said.
After a moment of silence, the old man's voice sounded again, "Where the heart goes, what the chess moves." Activate spiritual power and summon the stars. ”
"Thank you for your advice. Bai Shu hugged his fists and said.
"I have a rough idea of what the rules are. Bai Shu said to the other three, "The chess game must be Go, although I don't know how to do it, but at least I know not to be surrounded by it." Moreover, the chess pieces that fall in the chess game will form a force of energy to attack us, and we need to use spiritual power to summon the stars to serve as our pawns. Break it with this. ”
"So, I use my spiritual power to summon the stars, and Jing'er, you are responsible for resisting the attack of the chess game. As for Lao Zhao and Yu Ting, you can hide behind us and help me observe the situation in the chess game. ”
The other three nodded.
"Where the heart goes, the chess moves. So, that's the location. Bai Shu muttered. Immediately, the spiritual power was activated, wrapped in a star, the star fell, turning into a sunspot, and at the same time, the four people were also wrapped in light, flew and moved, and stood on top of the sunspot.
It is not an easy task to transfer spiritual power and mobilize the stars, if it weren't for Bai Shu's practice of the water style, his control of spiritual power is extremely accurate, I'm afraid it would be difficult to say where the stars fell.
"Good. The old voice came. So, a white child fell in front of their eyes. The energy body reappeared, attacking with both fists, Bai Jing struck out with a palm, and the energy body collapsed again.
After doing this for more than half an hour, the black and white chess pieces landed on the huge chessboard, and Bai Shu and Bai Jing had already consumed too much spiritual power at this moment.
"It's really a Tianxuan maze. Bai Shu said with a sigh of relief. Ordinary chessboard, at a glance, can clearly see the four corners, the center, and this chessboard is too huge, they don't know where they are, so Bai Shu and they can only randomly enter the chessboard and play games.
The white chess pieces fell again, and Bai Jing once again defeated the energy body.
"Eight steps east. Zhao Yu shouted.
So Bai Shu's next sunspot landed eight steps to the east.
"Five steps north. ”
The sunspot fell again.
"West Three. ”
"North Four. ”
......
Zhao Yu and Hu Yuting shouted, they couldn't help much, they could only observe and observe the situation.
One by one, the chess pieces fall, the black and white chess pieces you chase me, you escape and I block, one after another energy bodies appear, and fierce confrontations are staged.
An hour later, the surrounding light dimmed, and the pieces on the board disappeared.
The starry old voice came again, "With your strength, being able to hold on for more than an hour is considered the limit, so you have cleared the customs." Then you continue north and into a cave where you will reach your destination. ”
Then, the starry sky vanished, replaced by a sun.
"Thank you seniors. Bai Shu hugged his fists.
Bai Shu, Bai Jing's face was pale at the moment, obviously because he had consumed too much, so after swallowing a pill, he immediately closed his eyes and sat up to breathe, recovering the consumed spiritual power.
Zhao Yu and Hu Yuting were waiting silently on the side, they were thinking about everything just now, which was completely beyond common sense.
Half an hour later. Bai Shu and the others opened their eyes. His pale face also became rosy.
"Are you recovering?" Zhao Yu asked when he saw the two of them open their eyes.
"Almost. Bai Shu and the others nodded, and then Bai Shu said, "We've spent too much time here, and I just felt that there are other people playing against Tianxuan Maze, so in order to avoid long nights and dreams, let's hurry up." ”
Nodding, they continued north.
Gradually, the sound of gurgling water came, and a crystal clear stream flowed slowly. On both sides of the creek, the grass is delicious and the fallen flowers are colorful. The peach trees are full of pale red peach blossoms, the petals dance with the wind, one after another fall into the stream, but they are ruthlessly carried away by the stream.
Looking at such a beautiful scene, Bai Shu and the others were also amazed, and for a long time, they didn't know what to do next.
"Brother Bai Shu, have you seen it, here, it seems to be the legendary Peach Blossom Spring. Bai Jing said.
"yes. Bai Shu also nodded, "Tao Yuanming said and wrote, Jin Taiyuan Zhong, Wuling people, fishing for business, edge of the stream, forget the distance of the road, suddenly meet the peach blossom forest, hundreds of steps between the bank, there are no miscellaneous trees, the grass is delicious, the falling flowers are colorful, and the fishermen are very different." Moving forward again, I want to exhaust the forest...... It seems that we are going to be fishermen again today. ”
The four of them walked along the stream, and gradually a stone arch bridge appeared in front of the four of them, and at the head of the bridge, two stone lions were lifelike and majestic.
After passing by the stone arch bridge, a village with flat land, strange traffic, and houses appeared in front of the four people, with green tiles and white walls of the houses, and there is a taste of Jiangnan, but the strange thing is that there is no vitality in the village, except for the breath of the wind, there is no breath of others.
But in front of each house stood at least one human-shaped stone statue, with different expressions, joyful and sad, and faintly, as if they could hear their whispers and whispers.
"Brother Bai Shu, how do I feel a little scared. Bai Shu said cautiously.
The other two also nodded, feeling that the stone statue was too real, as if it could come to life at any time.
Bai Shu was secretly startled, and he also felt panicked in his heart, and he always wanted to leave this place quickly.
So Bai Shu silently thought in his heart, "Don't disturb the demons, and the deceased rest in peace." Don't disturb the demons, rest in peace for the deceased!"
The four of them continued northward, and gradually, the four of them left the village, and at this time, the eyes of the stone statue in the village suddenly lit up, but the four of them had already left the village, so they did not know.
Finally, the four of them came to a cave, after a careful look, the four of them walked into the cave, along the long path of the cave, the dark cave made people feel a little palpitations, but, because of the large number of people, so they were not too afraid, and they didn't know how long they walked, suddenly, the eyes of the four people lit up, and a huge lotus platform appeared in front of them. The lotus platform is engraved with a small seal with the word Tianxuan.
"Finally, I found it. Bai Shu looked at the huge lotus platform, took a deep breath, and then smiled.
