Chapter 78: Breaking into the Mei Family's Four Courtyards
Ula croaked in pain, bent down and cried out "ouch, ouch", so that he didn't look in pain.
Peony Yong hurriedly pretended to be concerned, and while blocking the gaze of Songba Weng and Zhu San Gongzi with his back, he squeezed his eyebrows at Ula and said, "Do you have stomach pain again?
Because he heard Song Ba Weng say that his father, Prince Zifeng, was also here, he was a little panicked.
The way is that the speaker has no intention, but the listener has a heart.
He didn't want to see his father or Grandpa Wang before he finished his mission. It's really thanks to Song Hachion who ran out to meet them, and inadvertently sent a message to the ventilation. Otherwise, if we meet unintentionally, the famine will be unbearable. You say you admit it, but you don't, and you don't recognize it. That's not a problem! He'll have to find a way to avoid it.
Ula quacked and looked at the little prince who was so anxious that he crooked his eyebrows, how he didn't understand. When he heard that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was coming, he was also thinking about it. Looking at the whole thing now, the little prince deliberately delayed for a while, and then said, "Ouch, I, my stomach hurts, for a while." I, I, I, I... I can't hold it back at this time... Ouch. ”
Seeing this, Zhu San Gongzi hurriedly said to Ula Quack: "You go to the back of the main hall, and you will see the place of Gong." ”
Watching Ula croak, holding her stomach with her hands, she looked back as she ran. After thinking about it, he said to Peony Yong: "Yifei, you should go with him, in case there is anything, you can take care of it." We'll go in first, and you'll come back to us later. ”
"Ah, yes, master. Peony Yong agreed, turned around and followed behind Ula Quaqua, and also ran to the back of the main hall.
The two of them turned around the corner, and they both turned around and peeked behind the corner. I saw Song and Zhu standing in place and discussing for a while, then they climbed the stairs one after the other and walked into the main hall door.
Ula turned around and asked, "What should we do?" His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has come down, and we can't be fooled." Why don't we run away?"
"Escape?" said Peony Yong, "thanks to you for coming up with this attention." The 'Ruyi Rope' is still in Merlot's hands, if we don't get it, how can we make a difference, how can we go back to Yaotai Garden. ”
"So what do we do?"
Peony Yong said decisively: "Let's go, let's go to the Fourth Courtyard of the Mei Family! Anyway, we also know how to use the mechanism, we have to find the grandson of Merlot and get back the magic weapon we have to find." Only in this way can we see people openly. ”
"Okay!" Ula slapped the wall with his palm exaggeratedly, and because he didn't control the force well, he grinned in pain, but muttered and complained: "You pinched me so hard just now, it hurts." ”
"Did you shoot yourself?"
"I don't have pain myself. ”
"Cut!"
While arguing, the two of them left "Meixue Xiangxuan" and re-entered the plum forest in the back mountain. They quickly passed through the pink, white, and green flowers, and because they were familiar with the path, they soon came to the "Washing Eyes Spring".
When they stood here in person, it felt completely different from the impression they had when they hid in the woods and watched.
At this time, the "Washing Eye Spring" trickles sound, the spring water beads gushing turbulently, clear and transparent, in the dusk of the setting sun, it is even more refreshing and pleasant.
A casual glance at the flat mountain in the mountains, although it is not vast and expansive, but the small square against the backdrop of flowers and trees is enough to make people linger and relax.
In particular, the pearl pond in the northeast corner, the gentle waves rippling, the gently hanging willows on the embankment swaying in the wind, the flickering almond railings hidden in it, and the small pavilions hidden in the depths, all exude a kind of alluring charm that makes people want to sit and enjoy it.
However, at this moment, the peony Yong and Wula quack, there is no more time to appreciate and enjoy the beautiful scenery here.
They hurriedly came to the front of the three-star stone, Peony Yong pressed his hand to the word "Lu" in the three-character stone that resembled "Fu, Lu, and Shou", only to see a crack quietly opened from the top of the spring, and in a moment, a road appeared in the middle of the mountain.
Peony Yong and Ula quacked each other excitedly high-fived, and then they both leaped in. The mountain closed silently behind them, and there was no sound.
Ula looked back at this scene and said with some horror: "Wow~ There is no way back now." ”
Peony Yong "shh The two men quickened their pace and crossed the passage very quickly, and suddenly, a spacious cave suddenly appeared in front of them.
The two men stopped at the entrance, cautiously inspecting the situation in the cave.
I saw that this cave was as big as a few houses, the ground was smooth, the mountain stones on the cave wall were hideous and mottled, and the top of the cave was as high and deep as the sky, and it was dark and misty to see clearly.
However, one thing is certain here, the cave is closed, i.e. there is no sky visible and no sunlight shining in. But the strange thing is that the inside is as fresh and bright as the outside, and I don't know where the light source comes from.
At this moment, the cave was quiet, there was no human figure, and no sound could be heard. Only on the opposite side of the cave wall, a hundred meters away, there were three purple-black gates tightly closed. So, if you want to continue to enter the four courtyards of the Mei family, you must open which of the three doors is possible.
Ulla croaked, seeing that there was nothing left here except the three doors, and ran towards that side with his legs raised.
Peony Yong stretched out his arm but did not hold him, and suddenly saw some stone carts, horses, elephants, and small stone figures suddenly appearing on the ground of the cave. Among them, a stone horse galloped in front of Ula Quack, raised the horse's hooves and kicked it, Ula Quack couldn't dodge, screamed, and was kicked back.
Peony Yong held up Ula who fell over and said, "Look at the ground!"
Ula endured the pain of being kicked in the ass, and when she looked closely, she saw faint spots of light on the ground, which formed one horizontal bar after another in an instant. Oh my god, it turns out that there is a mystery on the ground.
Peony Yong squatted down, looked sideways to carefully observe the direction of these lights, and then said: "The combination of these lights is very similar to a chessboard. ”
He stood up and carefully examined the positions of the parked carts, horses, and small stone figures, and then said with certainty: "Ula quack, I think this is a chess endgame." The position you just stepped into by accident happened to be on the horse's feet. ”
Ulla croaked and stood up in pain. At this time, the light on the ground gradually became clearer, and he could see that the chessboard was composed of nine straight lines and ten horizontal lines, forming ninety intersections. And now, those stone-made carts, horses, cannons, etc., are placed at these intersections.
He understands that these are the rules of chess. The place where there is no straight line in the middle of the chessboard should be the "river boundary". So, he said, "Childe, then let's run over from this "boundary river", shall we?"
"I'm afraid not. Do you think, if it can be passed so easily, then what's the use of setting up this bureau?" said Peony Yong seriously while looking at his feet.
"Yes. So what are we going to do?" asked Ullah.
Peony Yong looked back at the cave wall behind him, and saw that there was a place where he could barely stand on his feet, so he pulled Ula Quack and walked over, let him be used as a support frame, and he barely stood up on his shoulder.
He was not tall enough, so he could only use the height of the cave wall to check where the chess pieces were placed. It took him a long time before he jumped down and said, "I think this endgame looks like 'a thousand miles alone'." Red has four sons, one rook, two pawns, while Black has eight sons, including a handsome, a knight, an elephant, a soldier, and a pawn. ”
Ula croaked: "But it's weird again! Where are there any red and black seeds, aren't they all gray stones?"
"Cut, don't you see the difference between red and black on the helmet on the head of the little stone man?
"Oh-hey, hey. Ula smirked twice convincingly, and muttered: "What the hell is this Mei family doing, it's so complicated, it's like it's unsightly." ”
"yes, it's so mysterious, it's like there's a big secret. Peony Yong also pouted and said: "Now the two of us join hands and use our strength to urge the red chess pieces, if we can win this game of chess, we should be able to pass." ”
"Are you sure?"
"How do you know if you don't try?"
"Yes. Ula was also eager to try.
"Then listen to my command, and we will work together. Peony Yong said, stood in a row with Ula Qua, raised his arm and said, "Come, first, the car is five and two - go!"
He and Ula Quack waved their palms together to launch a spiritual power, only to see a laser directly reach Hongzi Che Wu's body. However, the red car still did not move on the five lines.
The two men looked at each other in disbelief, stood more firmly on their feet, and then worked together again, and the result was still the same. It seems that it is impossible to drive the chess pieces with their existing skills.
