Chapter 325: Things Underground
It was night, the night was as cool as water, and the sky was full of stars.
After nightfall, Yanjing City gradually became quiet.
Although many places of fireworks and entertainment were still brightly lit, at this late hour, most people in the city had fallen asleep.
Lu Heng and Jiu Mie sat on the roof, with a chessboard made of spiritual energy suspended in the middle. A monk and a wolf dropped a piece from time to time, but their eyes never looked at the chessboard, but quietly stared at the huge city under the night sky, without saying a word.
They had already seen Gu Yin who was attacked by the evil demon, but they did not find anything special.
They could only confirm that the evil demon also came from outside the country, not the evil spirits under the Qingming Cave.
Such a situation puzzled Lu Heng.
Now that the Dragon Soul is about to appear, it is understandable that the Qingming Cave evil demons gather in Yanjing City, but why are these evil demons from outside the country also joining in the fun? They should not know the news of the Dragon Soul appearing, right?
The biggest possibility is that there is something else in Yanjing City that attracted the demons to come...
"Why don't we let Tianxie Zun show up and go to the demons to talk about the news."
At a certain moment, Lu Heng, who was holding up the white piece, suddenly spoke, breaking the silence on the eaves.
The old monk glanced at him and said, "Be careful not to get the news, and lure Nian Cangqing here first... That woman knows about the dragon soul, maybe she is in Yanjing City now."
"Friend, if you make too much moves, lure her here... But you promised that Gu Yin that you would help him take back his master's complete body."
Jiu Mie emphasized the word "complete".
After listening, Lu Heng sighed helplessly and said, "Then let's continue playing chess."
After speaking, Lu Heng's white piece fell on the chessboard. On the aura chessboard pattern, as Lu Heng's white piece fell, strands of earth spirit energy spread around.
The chess game played by Lu Heng and Jiu Mie was not an ordinary game, but an ancient magic that Lu Heng learned from "Divine Art".
[Chess of Heaven and Earth].
With mountains and rivers as the chessboard, the spiritual energy of the earth veins as the chess path, and supplemented by the original true qi of top-level cultivation, it can be transformed into an unparalleled formation to protect one side.
Before, for the sake of safety, Lu Heng used the terrain near Yanjing City as the chessboard and set up a great formation of heaven and earth to suppress the evil spirits when the demons attacked the city.
But now that he realized the critical situation in the city, he had to set up another chess game to protect the many creatures in Yanjing City.
At least, he could protect more creatures from death when the demons were dancing wildly.
However, such a chess game consumed a lot of energy for Lu Heng and Jiu Mie. The monk and the wolf both lowered their heads, and they were too lazy to say a word, looking very tired.
Just dropped a piece from time to time.
Time, constantly passed.
The dark night became deeper and deeper.
The huge Yanjing City gradually quieted down.
Even those places of fireworks for fun and entertainment gradually quieted down in the late night.
In the courtyard below, Shen Wuyou and Shen Wuyu were sleeping soundly in the house, snoring constantly.
Today, Xiao Ai took them to stroll around the city. The prosperous scene of Yanjing City was simply not something that the brother and sister who came out of the deep mountains and old forests could resist.
Both of them were extremely excited and played until they were exhausted.
After returning, they fell asleep directly.
Xiao Ai stood under the tree, closed his eyes and meditated, without saying a word, silently waiting for the wolf god playing chess on the eaves.
Above the sky, the huge floating island slowly sank and the light of the holy fire in the Fire God Temple could be clearly seen even in such a deep night.
On the roof, the chess game between Lu Heng and Jiu Mie reached a critical moment.
However, at this time, the two of them swept away their previous laziness and their expressions became solemn.
Every time they made a move, they were a little nervous, staring at the aura chessboard and the spiritual energy veins on it.
This time, the chess game of heaven and earth was based on the entire Yanjing City, and the Fire God Temple had been notified in advance, so it was impossible for anyone to hinder the game.
But as Lu Heng and his team continued to play chess and the formation unfolded, some huge obstacles began to appear.
Every time Lu Heng and his team made a move, it was more difficult than the last time.
Even though the two of them had strong cultivation, they were still slightly frightened.
There must be something wrong underground in Yanjing City!
Under the moonlight, a monk and a wolf on the eaves looked at each other with serious eyes.
If the chess game of heaven and earth had not been based on Yanjing City, this matter might not have been detected.
But now the chess game of heaven and earth has completely touched that strange thing and stimulated it.
——Perhaps this thing is the source of many evil demons!
Lu Heng and Jiumie looked at each other and understood each other's thoughts.
Jiumie, who was holding the black pieces, looked at the chessboard with a faint golden light, the chessboard pattern that represented the spiritual energy of the ground veins of Yanjing City, and the chess formation, and slowly shook his head.
Seeing that the chess game was coming to an end, only the last three pieces were needed to make the game of heaven and earth.
But Jiumie shook his head and gave up, and no longer made any moves.
Under the moonlight, Lu Heng looked at Jiumie's solemn expression and understood what his friend meant.
If this chess game was forcibly launched and completely stimulated the thing under the ground, that thing would definitely appear in advance!
Through the chess game, Lu Heng and Jiumie could vaguely feel that the thing under Yanjing City was a divine object of the same level as the dragon soul that was about to appear.
With the current situation of the gathering of demons in Yanjing City, once the divine object appeared, blood would definitely flow like a river!
Jiu Mie, who was holding Heizi, slowly lowered his hand and dispersed the spiritual energy Heizi in his hand.
Seeing Jiu Mie giving up, Lu Heng couldn't help but let out a long sigh and also scattered the white seeds in his hand.
When the two men dispersed the chess pieces in their hands, the aura chessboard suspended in front of them also dispersed, and the lines representing the aura of Yanjing City's earth veins silently dissipated into the void.
Under the night, a light cool breeze blew in Yanjing City, and spiritual energy surged.
However, most people who were sleeping in the dream did not notice the shaking of the spiritual energy, and just turned over slightly in their sleep.
And even practitioners who can sense the dispersion of this spiritual energy would never imagine what kind of exquisite divine magic this dispersed spiritual energy represents.
The moonlight was cold and silent. Lu Heng stood up and said, "Go and take a look underground?"
Jiu Mie clasped his hands together and said, "That's what I mean, friends."
"please."
The two people who were blocked in the game did not shirk. As soon as they finished speaking, they took a step forward and fell into the courtyard below.
It sank silently into the dirt of the courtyard.
Xiao Ai frowned slightly when she saw this scene. The words Lu Heng left behind made her mood freeze slightly.
"Call out the Heavenly Tribulation Sword and alert the surroundings."
The Wolf God's order made Xiao Ai slightly shocked - he actually needed to use the Heavenly Tribulation Sword? Could it be that Lord Wolf God discovered something?
While thinking in his mind, Xiao Ai pointed the sword in his right hand towards the sky.
In an instant, a ray of green light flew out from behind her and hovered directly over the courtyard.
The dim sword is hidden in the night, hanging high in the sky, and can be unsheathed at any time.
And Yanjing City under the scabbard is deathly silent...
