Chapter 1457 Chess Game
"Yuandu, it seems to be the Dao name of a strong man. I have seen it in ancient books by chance countless years ago, but the age is too old, and I really can't remember the others." Wei Changkang frowned and thought, stroked said with a long beard.
"Yuandu Zhanzun..." said a soft voice.
"I have also seen it in ancient books, it should be this name."
It was Zhong Wan who spoke, and when she noticed that everyone else was looking at her, she immediately lowered her head and said.
"Who is his identity?" Huang Daohua asked.
Zhong Wan shook his head.
"These are not important, as long as you get the immortal inheritance from this strong man, you will naturally know." Huang Daohua said excitedly.
As he said that, Huang Daohua gently pushed the stone door with his hand, without moving.
He nodded to an old man with a scar on his face beside him.
The scarred old man took out a blood-red broadsword with a late-stage cultivation, and slashed fiercely on the stone gate amidst the surge of spiritual power.
"Boom!"
There was a dull and loud noise, a great deal of dust was made, and surging spiritual energy swept away.
A gust of wind blows, and all the smoke and dust drift away with the wind.
The scarred old man stood in front of the stone gate with a blood-red long knife in his hand, but the stone gate was as smooth as a mirror, and there was nothing there.
The old man with the scar was incarnated at the peak cultivation level, and the power of the knife just now was enough to split the mountain in the outside world, but he didn't even leave a mark on the stone gate.
Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay.
Huang Daohua shook his head, stepped forward two steps, and punched out.
The Void Return Realm can mobilize the aura between heaven and earth to attack. Huang Daohua's fist attracted seemingly endless and powerful aura, condensed into a point, and hit the stone door heavily with his fist.
"boom!"
The platform under several people's feet shook violently.
But Shimen remained unmoved.
"Let me try." Ye Tian stared at the stone gate for a long time, and finally said.
Huang Daohua hastily stepped aside.
Ye Tian raised his hand and lightly placed it on the door.
Shimen has been silent in the darkness for an unknown number of years, and it is covered with dust. When Ye Tian touched it lightly, he felt that Shimen was extremely hot.
Even Ye Tian's silent immortal body has this feeling. If other people make the same movements, their hands will be destroyed immediately.
Seeing Huang Daohua's attack on this Shimen, coupled with the observation of Shimen and the exploration of spiritual consciousness, Ye Tian has already determined that this Shimen will completely isolate the spiritual energy.
Reiki is the spirit of the weather, the root of the world. But this stone gate can be completely isolated, which means that it is definitely a higher-level existence than aura.
Then there is only Xianyuan.
Ye Tian put his hands on the stone gate, and gently poured a very weak trace of immortal energy into the stone gate.
The four big characters "Yuandu Dongtian" above the stone gate instantly lit up!
In an instant, the entire space in front of the stone gate was illuminated.
Everyone subconsciously took a step back.
In silence, the stone door slowly opened.
"Senior really has a way!"
Several people, including Huang Daohua, showed excitement in their eyes, and saluted Ye Tian.
Ye Tian nodded slightly, called Nan Xueyi over, and stepped into the cave first.
The people behind followed suit.
The cave really looked like a place to live. There was a bluestone path at the foot, and at the end of the path was a dry river, above which was a delicate bridge.
Opposite the small bridge is a small courtyard. In the courtyard is a completely dry tree. There is a stone table and several stone benches under the tree.
In the front, there is a three-story wooden carving building, but it looks completely decayed and dilapidated, and an ancient atmosphere blows over.
Immediately, people couldn't help but feel the loneliness of this small courtyard that has been deserted for tens of thousands of years.
Huang Daohua and the others obviously longed for the inheritance of the Immortal Dao. When they entered, they were overjoyed to see the scene in front of them, and hurried up the bluestone path.
At this time, the door behind him began to close silently and slowly.
Everyone hastened to speed up, and all came in before closing.
The moment the door closed, Ye Tian found that the ancient and decaying atmosphere began to dissipate rapidly!
On the dry land beside the bluestone path, verdant green grass grows at a speed visible to the naked eye, rising steadily.
The big dry tree in the front yard quickly sprouted new shoots and began to grow green leaves, and it became lush and lush in a short while.
The clear water flowed in and filled the river channel in a short while.
Those decayed and dilapidated places on the small wooden building also become new with breathing, and there are even brand-new soft window screens swaying slightly in front of the windows when the breeze blows.
After the stone gate was closed, it seemed that the small courtyard had come back to life in an instant, returning to the state it had been thousands of years ago.
"This is the ability of a fairy," a disciple murmured.
While being amazed by all these changes, everyone passed the bluestone path, crossed the small straight bridge, passed through the courtyard, and entered the small building.
When passing by the yard, Ye Tian even saw that on the stone table under the tree, the stone teacups were half filled with tea, which was still slightly steaming.
At the first moment, Ye Tian felt that this should be just a fantasy, but he immediately denied this possibility. The exuberant vitality revealed by all this is absolutely real, and cannot be imitated by any fantasy.
Ye Tian observed very carefully, and together with the cautious Wei Changkang and Nan Xueyi who was walking beside Ye Tian, they fell to the rear.
When the three of them came to the front of the small building, some disciples had already walked around the small building and ran out.
His eyes were full of disappointment: "It's empty, there's nothing there!"
Ye Tian walked into the small wooden building and found that there was nothing inside except the most common tables, chairs and benches.
A few disciples gathered around those tables, chairs and benches trying to take them away, but they couldn't fit them into the storage bags.
They seem to think that since this is the cave of an extremely powerful immortal, these ordinary and simple facilities are used by immortals, so they must not be simple.
The first disciples who rushed out were to take those stone cups and stone tables in the courtyard.
But in Ye Tian's view, although those are real, they are just the most common things. They may have been cultivated for countless years, and there is a little spiritual energy preserved on them, but they are still far from being valuable.
Wandering around, Ye Tian came to the top floor, walked through an empty room, and saw an open terrace in front of him.
On the opposite side of the terrace is the back of the small building. There is actually a lake here, with a radius of several miles, and in the distance are countless green and low mountain peaks.
Standing on the terrace and looking out, there is a scene of lakes and mountains.
Since coming to this abyss of sin, this is the first time that such a beautiful and comfortable natural scenery has appeared.
The simple facilities on the terrace have also been removed by several disciples, only a short chessboard was fixed on the terrace, so it did not encounter poisonous hands.
Zhong Wan was kneeling quietly in front of the chessboard, looking at it carefully.
There are chess urns on both sides of the chessboard, and there are also some black and white chess pieces on the chessboard, which seem to be fixed on the chessboard.
These chess pieces form an endgame, and the white chess seems to be exhausted. At a glance, no matter how it moves, it will be completely slaughtered by the black chess.
If it was played by Ye Tianlai, it would not be here at all. The white chess is more than ten moves ahead, it is time to throw the ball and admit defeat.
But in this chess game, the person holding the white chess seems to have persisted for a long time until the current situation was formed before stopping.
Zhong Wan stretched out her small hand and reached out from the chess urn, but after trying for a long time, she couldn't get out the chess pieces. The urn and the chess pieces inside seemed to be fixed.
She tried to push or slide the pieces on the board, but she still couldn't do it.
In the end, Zhong Wan had already used his spiritual energy, but he still couldn't do it, so he gave up.
"This is not a chess game." Ye Tian looked at it for a long time, shook his head and said, "This is a sand table."
Zhong Wan raised her head to look at Ye Tian, this was the second time Ye Tian saw her face clearly.
But Zhong Wan just glanced aside in a hurry, looking up at Ye Tian, it seemed that she was just responding to Ye Tian's words, she heard but didn't know what to say. It went down again.
However, Wei Changkang became interested because of this. He just glanced over and found that the white chess was completely hopeless, so he stopped looking at it. At this time, I heard Ye Tian say that the chessboard has other meanings, so I turned around:
"Sand table? Deduce changes in the situation? But what is deduced?"
Ye Tian shook his head and said, "I don't know."
Wei Changkang also tried to move the chess piece, but he relied on the powerful cultivation of the Daoist Realm. Even if this small building is built on a mountain, and the chess piece is connected to the mountain, Wei Changkang can move it up the mountain .
But it was still impossible to shake these pieces.
Looking at the lake and mountains in front of him, Ye Tian murmured: "If we know what this sand table is deducing, maybe we can know what happened to the owner of this cave."
"Knowing his experience, there is no way to find the way out of the Abyss of Sin." Wei Changkang looked around the simple building and said, "That man built his cave in the deepest part of the Abyss of Sin, but he just wanted to look at it from here." Playing chess with scenery, why bother?"
Ye Tian raised his eyebrows slightly.
"Looking at the scenery and playing chess..."
"Is there any problem? Did Fellow Daoist Ye Tian discover some mystery?" Wei Changkang asked with a boost of energy.
"Maybe," Ye Tian nodded, and said, "I just said that the chessboard is a sandboard. If it's correct, the situation it simulates is actually the mountains on the opposite side of the lake! That's why the chess pieces can't move. "
Looking at the countless low peaks in the distance, and combining the two, I realized that these peaks are really similar to chess pieces.
"The immortal who used to play chess here is in such a superb state that he can easily move distant mountains with chess pieces."
"But our own strength is not enough, and we have been suppressed in this abyss of evil, so we can't do it. Then maybe we can try the other way around, and change the position of the chess pieces here by moving the distant mountains."
Wei Changkang looked at the chessboard and said, "But this white piece is exhausted, and it is definitely irreversible. No matter you move the black or the white piece, the outcome of the game is a foregone conclusion. It seems that moving the pieces is meaningless for the chess game of!"
Ye Tian turned his gaze back to the chessboard, and said: "Although I don't know what the use of moving the pieces will be, there is no other place where you can do anything other than this. I think it's worth a try."
While talking, the rest of the disciples, including Huang Daohua and Wu Heng, explored this small building, and came here without gaining anything.
Hearing Ye Tian's words, Huang Daohua and Wu Heng stood up without hesitation, willing to move those mountains.
"But where should the chess be played?" The middle-aged monk looked at the chessboard and asked curiously.
Ye Tian thought that Zhong Wan was studying this chess game at the beginning, and her talent for formations might be helpful to see through this chess game.
Looking up, everyone was gathered around the chessboard, and Zhong Wan, who was in front of him at first, had been squeezed to the edge of the terrace.
Ye Tian waved his hand to let Zhong Wan come over.
Seeing Ye Tian's actions, everyone present hastily stepped aside.
Zhong Wan walked over with his head down.
"Where do you think the chess should be placed?" Ye Tian asked.
Zhong Wan said: "Someone who left such a chess game here must want to save the white chess, and it should be the white chess that needs to move in the next move."
After pondering for a while, Zhong Wan pointed to a location: "If I were to play, I would play the white chess here, but no matter how I play, the white chess will lose, which is different from just losing more and losing less."
Ye Tian nodded and said, "Then get down here."
Looking up at the distance, Ye Tianfa saw that there were many mountain peaks in disorder on the left and right sides of the current lake.
His eyes fell on the chessmen on both sides of the chessboard, and he saw the white ones on the right and the black ones on the left.
It seems that the mountain peak on the right side of the lake represents the white chess pieces. With Huang Daohua as mentioned earlier, the two figures disappeared on the terrace in an instant.
The next moment, the two appeared on a low mountain on the right side of the lake.
Ye Tianfei flew into the sky and confirmed the location that Zhong Wan had determined. Huang Daohua controlled a giant hand with spiritual power to lift the mountain.
Following Huang Daohua's movements, the chess piece that Wei Changkang, who had just asked about it, could not take out with all his strength, unexpectedly flew out of the chessman automatically and slowly.
With the speed of Huang Daohua moving the mountain, they flew towards the chessboard together.
"boom!"
There was a loud noise from a distance, and the mountain peak fell heavily on the ground, causing waves in the lake.
At the same time, the white chess piece landed on the chessboard with a soft bang.
But nothing happened.
Ye Tian took Huang Daohua out on the terrace.
"Do you want to continue?" Huang Daohua asked with a frown.
"Then let's finish this game of chess, and it will be finished in a few words." Ye Tian said with a smile.
Huang Daohua nodded, and was dragged by Ye Tian to fly to those mountain peaks.
Zhong Wan has already pointed out the point where the black chess needs to land.
With the roar of the rising and falling of the mountain from time to time, the white and black pieces began to gradually fill up the remaining blank space.
As time went by, Zhong Wan was slower and slower to determine the position of the chess pieces.
An hour later, Zhong Wan fell silent.
At this time, there is only one vacancy left on the chessboard.
