Chapter 107: A Step of Life and Death

In this wilderness, the jade slip flickered near and far, flickering and flickering, until more than ten breaths later, before she appeared in front of Han Shi and was grasped by him.

At one point, the jade was simplified into a curtain of light, appearing in front of Han Shi, and countless numbers were arranged in it.

Seven into four, three on the left into six, and two back.

The third from the right is one back, and then the sixth from the right.

Retreat four into nine, right seven left four, and then three.

.........

Similar numbers, densely packed, each row, represents the path that needs to be completed to take a step forward.

Han Shi's pupils contracted slightly, and he looked at the old man, this method of travel is extremely precious, but this person did not hesitate to send it out, but he didn't know what it meant, this matter is very unreasonable, and there must be a plan.

"Xiaoyou is so cautious, presumably a delicate person, in this jade slip, it is recorded that the old man went all the way to the path of ninety-nine zhang, but the old man decades ago, one wrong step, all the previous efforts were abandoned, and he was beaten back to the position of more than twenty zhang.

Under the old man's careful inspection, he found that the path ahead had completely changed, and this jade slip was useless to the old man, so it was better to give it to Xiaoyou. The old man's expression was as usual, and he said slowly.

Han Shi's face showed a look of emotion, staring at the lines of numbers for a long time, and bowed slightly towards the old man, although this nine-step Lost Heaven Array was extremely complicated, but for him, it was not a desperate situation, otherwise, his first deduction would end in failure.

It's just that every step of derivation will consume a lot of his time, and what he lacks is time.

He was sure that this nine-step Lost Heaven Array was inextricably linked with the Forbidden Extreme Void ------ the Three Techniques of the Formation Dao, just because what he used when he deduced it was the Forbidden Extreme Void Void Formation Technique.

And the success of this first step also made Han Shi's hanging heart relax a little.

After a long time, Han Shi took the second step, and this step, he still relied entirely on his own derivation, moving forward six steps and then taking one step to the right, and then retreating three steps backwards, and then taking one step forward.

After Han Shi stood still, his position was one step closer to the stone tablet.

This second step, the direction he stepped on, was the same.

Han Shi's eyes swept away, and he soon found the corresponding number in the jade slip.

Enter six right one, retreat three into one.

Han Shi groaned slightly, and his gaze fell on the next number.

Retreat four to the left six, retreat three to seven, and then two to the right.

After he glanced at the old man, he did not hesitate to step out in succession as the number remembered, and at the moment when the last step fell this time, the position where Han Shi was located was closer to the stone tablet than just now.

Ten lines of numbers in a row, Han Shi chose to believe the record in the jade slip without the slightest deduction, but the facts proved that the old man's record was not a trace of error, omission or falsehood.

In this way, there is no need to deduce, just follow the numbers to show that the speed of Han Shi's progress has increased greatly, but in a few days, he has walked out of thirty zhang, almost level with the old man, and between him and the old man, there is still a distance of four or five zhang, between each other, there will be no contact, which also makes Han Shi a little relieved.

"Thank you for the gift of your predecessors, keep it in mind, if you can get out of here, you will not dare to forget the great kindness of your predecessors!"

In the past few days, without the help of Jade Jian, I am afraid that it would have taken years to walk, and in the past few days, he saw that the old man had only taken one step after thinking hard, and compared to this, his speed could already be called a meteor.

"Little friends don't have to be polite, you and I are both fallen people at the end of the world, why should we have ever met, the old man gave you a jade slip just a gesture, it's nothing, you and I can meet here, it's also fate.

The old man will give you a word, black, it is white, yes, yes and wrong!"

With that, the old man closed his eyes, as if in meditation.

Han Shi's eyes were strange, he thought about it for a long time, seemed to have an understanding, looked at the numbers in the jade slip, and took another step......

Han Shi rubbed his eyebrows, looked at the last four lines of numbers in the jade slip, and did not step out, but chose to derive, this is due to his usual caution, he knows very well that if he completely believes in this jade slip, he may fall into the situation set up by the old man.

The weakness of the human heart, after many verifications, does not notice mistakes, and then stops thinking, but relies on inertia, so that it is very likely to fall into mistakes without knowing it.

For these figures, Han Shi is not unbelieving, but he is by no means fully convinced, roughly every three or four, he will stop and deduce once, which is not only a verification, but also does not completely let go of the proficiency of deference.

In this regard, the old man did not say a word from beginning to end, and did not open his mouth to stop it, which made Han Shi have a faint fog in his heart.

He can't see through the fog!

According to Han Shi's assumption, if the old man had a plan, he would definitely speak out to stop his deduction, but the fact is that this way has come all the way, until the last four lines of numbers, each line of numbers is not false.

As a result, Han Shi felt a little confused in his heart, could it be that this old man, as he said, just wanted to help Han Shi.

His face softened slightly, but looking at the stone tablet outside Zhang Xu, his eyes were still as calm as ever.

For so many years, he has been alone, and the things he has experienced are all strange, which has already sharpened his heart like ice, so that he is always calm while being strong.

Seven days later, Han Shi's figure disappeared in place, and after ten breaths, after reappearing, the position was exactly the distance to take a step.

After another seven days......

Seven days later......

Han Shi stood at the position of ninety-nine zhang, only one zhang away from the stone tablet.

"Xiaoyou be careful, the old man has deviated from this position, so that his previous achievements are wasted, I hope Xiaoyou will take it as a warning!" The old man's voice came from behind Han Shi.

Han Shi's face froze, he looked at the place in front of him, his mind was completely restrained, and he began to deduce.

In the jade slip, there is still the last line of numbers left, which is what the old man left after the deduction mistake that day.

The first seven and the last six, the left three and the front two, the right six and the back four.

He didn't look at this line of numbers, but deduced them first, he didn't want to leave a preconceived impression because he looked at the numbers, which would affect the accuracy of the derivation.

Ten days later, Han Shi slowly opened his eyes, which were covered with bloodshots, this time the deduction, he consumed a lot, fortunately, the deduction finally had a result.

With a flip of his right hand, a jade slip appeared again, and there was a blank in this jade slip, and after Han Shi wrote down the method of deference in the jade slip, he looked at the jade slip from the old man.

His eyes showed extreme shock, just because his deduction was no different from what was recorded in the old man's jade slip.

The first seven and the last six, the left three and the front two, the right six and the back four.

He deduced this number no less than ten times, and each time, it was the same result.

And as the old man said, the reason why there was a mistake was because of that last number.

Last 4 ......

And just as Han Shi was thinking, the afterglow swept across the ground in front of him, and he suddenly had a feeling of breaking through the boundary, as if he could get out of the current nine-step Lost Heaven Array as long as he took a slight step.

It was a kind of strangeness and warmth like a new birth, just a stone's throw away, within reach.

This thought was irrepressible, mixed with the other two thoughts, and occupied Han Shi's mind.

"The old man's numbers are all true, only the last one is difficult to distinguish between right and wrong, and if what this man says is true, it means that my deduction is wrong.

If this man has a bad heart and takes advantage of my lack of doubt about him, it proves that this man has a great plan, but why does this man leave the same number as I deduce?

Whether this number is true or not, but it is precisely because of this that I have doubts, and in confusion, I fall into this person's calculations.

Should I believe the old man's words, or should I believe my own deductions, or should I believe in the feeling that suddenly came to me? ”

Han Shi couldn't see it, behind him, the old man's mouth showed a meaningful smile, very faint and faint.

The old man's plan lies in his lack of strategy!

He guided Han Shi forward step by step, the more wary Han Shi was, the more he could find that the numbers in the jade slip were all wrong and missing, and just like that, it didn't show his scheming, the last line of numbers was not fake, it was still true.

In this way, in this last step, Han Shi will be confused, from believing in himself, to believing in him, to doubting him, and finally returning to believing in himself.

And once Han Shi decides to believe in himself, it is equivalent to believing the numbers he left.

What Han Shi didn't know was that he repeated this last step eight times and failed eight times.

According to his thousands of years, he has deduced many times, if it is repeated for the ninth time, it will cause a violent backlash of the formation, causing him to be destroyed, for this reason, he has waited here for countless years, waiting for a chess piece, to complete this ninth repetition for him.

He believed that after the ninth repetition, the exit of this maze would be revealed, and the secrets and chances on the stone tablet would be in his hands.

And the chess piece he has been waiting for thousands of years is none other than Han Shi.

For a while, Han Shi's heart was in turmoil, he had gone through a lot of hardships all the way, and finally came to this point, this close step made him feel difficult to choose for the first time.

One step to live, one step to die.

In his eyes, there was gradually a layer of mist, and the mist was gray, just like the color of the withered trees in the Twin Tree Garden, and his eyes were dry, which meant that his heart was gradually withering.

His breath, too, in this indescribable withering, gradually fell silent, like a dead tree.

The old man's eyebrows were tightly locked, with his cultivation, he could hardly detect the breath of this person, could it be that this person was dead?

He has been trapped here for countless years, and finally found a useful chess piece to explore the way instead of him, how can he die easily, the old man grabbed and pushed the void in front of him with both hands, and suddenly a pure spiritual power appeared, and went straight to Han Shi.

Although that spiritual power was extremely majestic at the beginning, in this nine-step Lost Heaven Array, every step of distance it passed, it was weakened a lot, and when it landed on Han Shi's body, it was already like a breeze.

The old man shook his head slightly, revealing undisguised disappointment, and sighed deeply, this son has a very good mind, he had great hopes, but he couldn't imagine that he would die like this, and the next time he waited for a chess piece of this level, he didn't know when he would have to wait.
