Chapter 42: The Chessboard
When Jiang He was sucked into the secret realm, her brain seemed to be slammed, and she was in a trance for a moment, and when she regained consciousness, she found herself swooping in the sea of clouds, and below her was a huge chessboard.
"Chessboard?" she frowned and thought, is this the inside of the secret realm?
If you look closely, this is originally a checkerboard grid style continent, and the mountains and rivers are evenly divided into small pieces by white thin lines, each of which is dotted with different colors by green plants and rivers, which is very beautiful.
Jiang He couldn't figure out the situation, so he could only remember everything he saw in front of him as much as possible.
As she got closer, she saw that each grid was surprisingly large, the thin white lines were a strange mist, and the lattices were almost the size of a small town.
Free-falling in the air, she had no control over where she fell. Just as she was about to close her eyes and accept the embrace of the earth, she suddenly felt that she had rushed into a pile of cotton and fell lightly to the ground.
Judging by the judgment of her fall, she should be at the edge of the southwest corner of the whole large chessboard, and it is not known what led her to this place, and as she fell, she vaguely saw one or two monks also landing in the southwest corner, but it seemed to be a few squares away from her.
The Xuanzhen Secret Realm is opened once every ten years, and each time there are different rules, which cannot be inferred from common sense, and I don't know what is going on this time.
Jiang He was confused, began to explore the surroundings, after walking through it herself, she probably had an idea of the size of each grid, these grids just looked separated in the air, in fact, the monk could pass through the fog and move freely between each grid, Jiang He spent a small half a day wandering and exploring, after walking a few grids, she probably figured out the surrounding area, and finally, in the evening of this day, Jiang He met other monks, none other than her old friend, Yang Yong, the god operator.
The moment he saw Yang Yong, Jiang He wanted to turn his head and leave, either because he was afraid, or he simply didn't want to look at him, as an ordinary person who was not smart or even a little silly, Jiang He hated Yang Yong's eyes that looked at everyone like a stupid look.
But Yang Yong was very happy, "Yi Daoyou, we are really destined to meet thousands of miles away" After speaking, the thousand machine locks in his hand turned into a fan of sassy bags in a flash.
"It's really fateful, Yang Daoyou. Jiang He saw his posture, and secretly said that he couldn't dodge, so he immediately took the initiative to talk about the chessboard.
"Can Yang Daoyou see the rules of this secret realm?" she asked.
Yang Yong shook his fan, his eyes changed, "I guessed some, but I can't be sure." What about you?
Jiang He suspected that he was satirizing himself, and she Jiang He could see the riddle that even the gods couldn't see? This wronged Yang Yong, Yang Yong was not sarcastic, but really believed that a certain type of person had the intuition of a beast, and it was obvious that he thought that "Yi Kai" was this kind of person.
"I don't know either, but I feel like if we don't find the answer tonight, something very dangerous is going to happen. Jiang He's feeling was very strong, she watched the sun gradually set, and the anxiety in her heart slowly piled up.
"Then let's go together?" Yang Yong proposed, Jiang He thought about it, two people are indeed safer than one, and agreed to this suggestion.
The two of them explored the secret realm together, and found that there were no demon beasts and very few spirit plants in the secret realm this time, it was almost an ordinary mortal continent, and they didn't encounter any danger when they trekked through mountains and rivers, it was like they were on vacation.
The sun had completely set, the moon had not risen, and there was a hollow darkness between heaven and earth.
The two of them tried to illuminate with luminous magic weapons, but there seemed to be something in the air that absorbed light, and even if it emitted light, it was very faint, like fireflies in the night sky, unless a large number of magic weapons were lit at the same time, it had no effect.
"Yi Daoyou, are you afraid of the dark?" Yang Yong's voice was a little strange.
Jiang He glanced in the direction of the voice, "Don't be afraid." ”
I heard Yang Yong suddenly swallow a mouthful of saliva and then said weakly, "I'm afraid of ......"
“......”
Jiang He didn't know what to say, but his eyes widened, and he was speechless for a long time, Jiang He keenly heard Yang Yong's increasingly fierce heartbeat next to him, "Young Master Yang, you can lean over and put your arm on my shoulder." Yang Yong moved, moved to Jiang He's side, and then remained motionless.
As time passed, the two of them suddenly noticed that something appeared in the sky, some stars! some stars that suddenly appeared! The stars were arranged in the shape of a hand, and the giant hand took shape and made a strange pose.
"What kind of law is that?" Jiang He was a little confused.
"It's not a legal decision, it's a chess game. Yang looked at the giant hand in the sky with bright eyes, and muttered, "Sure enough, sure enough, quick! Let's follow the direction of that hand, the place where it landed is the key to this secret realm!"
Jiang He also had some understanding, and immediately rushed in the direction of the giant hand, Yang Yong himself belonged to the brain tank talent, and he was not good at running long distances, but at this time, he stared at the hand in the sky tightly, as if he was bewitched by something, the speed was surprisingly fast, Jiang He couldn't run continuously for a long time with his body alone, and he couldn't keep up with him at all.
When Jiang He arrived at the place later, he bent over and couldn't stop breathing, and when he came to his senses and looked up, he saw that the giant hand outlined by the stars fell lightly in the air near the two of them, its index finger and middle finger seemed to be pinching something, hesitated for a long time, and then fell slowly, as if it had touched some invisible barrier in mid-air, and then with a bang, there was a big circle ripple in the air, which was like the effect of a chess piece falling to the ground. Jiang He was stunned.
What kind of huge chess game is it and who is playing the game! What happens to the grid of chess? What is the place in which the chess is played? What is the place in which the chess pieces are put down? In the dark night, nothing can be figured out, so we can only wait quietly for the dawn.
Calming down and observing the surroundings, Jiang He found that there were not only the two of them around, but also at least thirty monks who hurried here, these should all be monks who were close or in a hurry, and it was estimated that there would be people arriving one after another after a while, and the appearance of this hand was like blowing the first horn of assembly.
After a long wait, the sky finally dawned.
But the bright thing was the surroundings, and it was still pitch black in the grid the size of the town they were in.
Something suddenly flashed in Jiang He's mind, and she rushed towards the border, and with a bang, she hit an invisible wall, and there were monks like her in all directions at the same time, and it was all the result.
Not only near the ground, but also above the sky seemed to be covered with a large cover, no one could fly out, and the monks who had taken off the sky were in vain.
Jiang He vaguely thought about it, but he couldn't say anything, Yang Yong, who touched the edge of the lattice, suddenly said in a hoarse voice, "Kangjiao wings, sunspots go first, the east starts, this is a game of life and death!" He stood at the edge of the lattice Ming's appearance, his eyes were amazingly bright, and after speaking, the thousand machine lock in his hand turned into a large pen, waving it quickly in the air, drawing the entire chessboard in his breath, and then dotting a place in the lower left corner of the chessboard, " The chess player landed the first sunspot here, and we are now among the sunspots!"
Jiang He suddenly realized, looked up sharply and looked around, and found that there were suddenly many pairs of eyes in the darkness, those eyes were fierce and cruel, flashing with cold blood, making people's hairs stand on end, she secretly said in her heart that it was not good, when she saw that Yang Yong was still drawing something in the air next to her, she immediately dragged Yang Yong and ran along the grid, "Don't forget it! There are many demon beasts suddenly appearing in this grid, we must fight with others as soon as possible to have a chance to live! Run!"
