There are nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine stone steps in the Immortal Land, which are 10,000 meters high. The top of the mountain is also the legendary place where the Soul Sacrifice Realm can lead to immortality. Because of this, since records began, all those who are nearing the Soul Sacrifice Realm have come here.
This, disappeared here.
"Are they really all immortals?"
Xue Chen looked up at the top of the mountain, wondering what the scene was like on the top of the mountain. It was not just him, it should be said that everyone was like this. However, except for the Soul Sacrifice Realm, no one could reach the top of the mountain, not even the peak of the Danhua Realm.
Will not work.
The Land of Immortality has its own rules. The higher the realm, the stronger the pressure. Because of this, all those who enter the Land of Immortality are the best in the early stage of the Danhua Realm.
At this time, the last eight people have reached the eight thousand stone steps. Without exception, the climbing speed has become very slow, as if it has become a slow motion. Sometimes it takes a minute to take a step.
Climb the stone steps.
Especially the people in the front are under greater pressure, so their speed naturally becomes slower and slower. Slowly, the distance between them and the people behind becomes smaller and smaller.
After Xue Chen and Qu Yan climbed for a while, Qu Yan sped up and took the lead.
After Qu Yan learned about all the blessings that Xue Chen had received, he was shocked. He felt that Xue Chen's luck was too good. Otherwise, how could he have gotten so many incredible blessings? Obviously, the same luck was extremely good.
It is definitely not a smart move for good people to get together, because it is very likely that the good fortune that belongs to them will be taken away.
Seeing Qu Yan speeding up his pace and hurried away, Xue Chen didn't pay much attention or think too much. His thoughts in his heart were very simple. It was enough to be yourself. There was no need to worry about other things.
"So tired."
After walking through eight thousand stone steps, the pressure from the top of the mountain increased again, making Xue Chen feel very strenuous. It was like carrying two mountains on his shoulders. Each step required strong resistance with his own laws of heaven and earth.
OK.
Because of this, when he saw a pavilion appearing in the forest next to the stone steps in front of him, he had a strong impulse to walk over and sit down to have a good rest. He never stopped from beginning to end.
The pace is already very tiring, both physically and mentally.
When he arrived at the pavilion, he stood there and looked around. It was a very simple-looking pavilion, just built with a few bamboo poles and some wormwood. It could barely keep out the wind and rain, and it had a wooden table.
and two wooden benches.
It may not matter who built a pavilion here. Xue Chen walked in and sat down on the wooden bench. At the same time, his eyes fell on the table. There was a chessboard engraved on it, and there were already black and white chess pieces.
If it falls on top, it's a broken game. It seems that the situation between the two sides is even.
Xue Chen is not very proficient in hand talks, so he can barely get started. Of course, he is compared with Dan Hua realm who are proficient in this way. If compared with ordinary people, just relying on powerful mental calculations, he is the top
Professional players cannot compete with it, because there is an essential difference between the two, just like the most common computer today can calculate faster than the most advanced computer twenty years ago.
After carefully looking at the entire endgame, he thought about it for a moment, then picked up a black chess piece and dropped it.
The breeze swayed, and a white chess piece flew up out of the air, and then landed on the chessboard.
Xue Chen's expression remained the same, he was not surprised at all. It was normal for anything to happen in the Immortal Land. He had experienced it deeply before.
He picked up another black chess piece, thought for a moment, and dropped it again.
This was repeated, and after less than ten moves, Xue Chen felt that his chess was already losing. It was obvious that the invisible opponent in front of him was much stronger than him. It was a complete crushing, and the gap was huge.
big.
Sure enough, after a few moves, he was killed and his armor was thrown off. He was in such a state of embarrassment.
He had no choice but to give up. He just took a rest and felt much better, got up and walked out of the pavilion.
When he looked back, he found that the pavilion had disappeared, as if it had never appeared.
However, a figure appeared on the side, it was Monk Yuanding of Faxiang Sect.
"Almsgiver Xue." Monk Yuanding said hello very kindly, and then asked if he had just seen a pavilion and went in to play a game of chess?
"That's right, but I'm not very good at talking to opponents. I lost quickly. I thought I had some luck, but unfortunately I got nothing. So, you saw it and went in to play chess?"
Monk Yuanding also said frankly that he was right, and he also said that he also lost, but after playing thirty-two pieces of chess, he lost. When he left, there was an extra object on the chessboard, which he took out.
Xue Chen opened his mouth and understood. Sure enough, the chess game in the pavilion just now was a blessing. However, his chess skills were really bad. Monk Yuanding fought with his opponent for a while before losing. It was considered an honor to lose.
, and thus obtained good fortune.
It is very likely that everyone passing by will see the pavilion and enter. It seems that this fate is destined to belong to those who are good at playing chess.
"It seems that if I have a chance in the future, I will have to study the chess records." He rubbed his chin and smiled bitterly, feeling a little depressed at the thought of missing out on a good fortune like this.
After separating from Monk Yuanding, Xue Chen thought back to the experience of playing chess in the pavilion. Monk Yuanding also received good fortune even if he lost. What if someone wins? I'm afraid it will be the greatest good fortune.
However, this possibility is very slim. Obviously, all those things were left by a person from the Soul Sacrifice Realm. Winning that game of chess is not an easy task.
Soon, he put aside the matter of losing in the chess game just now. Since he lost, he lost, and it was over. There was no need to continue thinking about it, because he believed that there would be other fortunes waiting in front of him.
As if to confirm his guess, after passing more than 200 stone steps, an ancient well appeared on the left side of the stone steps in front, with a few pieces of bluestone simply paved around the wellhead.
Seeing this well, Xue Chen's eyes moved. Naturally, he would not just pass by it. When he came to the well mouth, he saw that there was nothing special around him, so he naturally looked into the well mouth.
The water in the well is very clear. The surface of the water is about a foot away from the well mouth, but you can clearly see your own reflection.
Without warning, someone suddenly pushed him from behind. Unprepared, he fell directly into the mouth of the well. It was as if a force imprisoned him, making him unable to resist and falling directly into the well.
It sank into the well water.
"Ahem."
After a violent cough, Xue Chen suddenly woke up, opened his eyes, and looked around.
"Damn it, you had a nightmare, why are you sweating all over your head?" A round head poked up from below.
"This is...a university dormitory?"
Apparently he was having a hot chat with a certain girl.
Wang Dong was standing beside the bed, staring at him.
Xue Chen reached out and touched his face. His face was indeed covered with sweat. The wind outside blew in, and he felt a little more comfortable, and his head was much clearer.
"Hey, are you Sandman stunned? Or a ghost is pressing down on you, why don't you say anything?" Wang Dong came over and reached out to pat his arm.
Du Tao chuckled and said without raising his head: "Even if it is a ghost, it must be a female ghost, and a beautiful female ghost, just like Nie Xiaoqian, right?"
"Are you dreaming?" Xue Chen stretched out his hand and rubbed his head. He felt that it was muddy and filled with broken pictures. Those pictures looked strange, as if they were related to some kind of spiritual practice.
At this time, Wang Dong urged him to go wash up quickly. He was covered in sweat, so be careful not to catch a cold due to the wind.
"Oh." Xue Chen responded vaguely.
After washing off the sweat on his body and changing into a set of clothes, he went to the balcony beside the bed and asked Zhao Tiekai for a cigarette.
"When did you learn to smoke?" Zhao Tiekai asked.
"Just learned it." Xue Chen responded vaguely, because he didn't know it himself. He took the cigarette from Zhao Tiekai's hand and took a deep breath, "I'm leaving school soon."
Now that I have graduated, I will be leaving in half a month.
"Well, let's go to my hometown for a while." Zhao Tiekai asked.
Xue Chen shook his head and suddenly saw a healed scar on the back of Zhao Tiekai's right hand and asked him how he did it.
"Didn't I tell you earlier? It was left behind from a fight with someone before." Zhao Tiekai smiled, turned around and returned to the dormitory.
Standing alone on the balcony and finishing his cigarette, Xue Chen frowned more and more. For some reason, he always felt that something was wrong with his life, but after thinking about it carefully, he couldn't figure it out.
"Xue Chen, let's go to the cafeteria to eat." Wang Dong shouted.
Du Tao chuckled at the right time: "Dongzi, you'd better go with me. Xue Chen has a master now. He will definitely have dinner with Sister Luo. He might even light two candles."
"Alas, the world is declining, and sex is more important than friends." Wang Dong shook his head and walked out the door.
Luo Bing...
Thinking of this name, Xue Chen's heart palpitated, and a pure face that was both angry and happy appeared in his mind, which made his inexplicably irritable heart suddenly feel relieved a lot.
He remembered that he had indeed made an appointment with Luo Bing to go out for dinner together in the evening and meet at the east gate of the school at five o'clock in the evening.
When he went downstairs to the first floor, he saw the dormitory administrator sitting on a chair, fanning himself to cool off, and smiled and nodded to him.
When he saw the dormitory supervisor, he paused for a moment, but thinking that it was almost the appointed time, he hurriedly walked towards the east gate of the school.
There was still some distance, and from a distance, he saw a beautiful figure standing under the tree at the door, with a smile on her lips, and waved her arm towards him to signal. (To be continued)
