Chapter three thousand and eighteen bluestone chessboard
They have been in this space-time distortion zone for ten days. In these ten days, they have only walked 480 steps, almost more than 300 meters.
Originally they thought that this twisted zone would not be very big, but now it seems that the area of this twisted zone is somewhat beyond their expectation.
If this twisted zone is thousands of meters long, wouldn't it take them several years to leave?
"Look, time and space in front of you doesn't seem to be distorted anymore?"
Suddenly, Ma Yujie pointed forward and exclaimed.
Zhuo Wen quickly looked around, and sure enough he saw a normal passage appearing again about a kilometer away.
Seeing that they were finally leaving here, the four of them cheered up.
A month later, Zhuo Wen and the four finally left the space-distorted zone and arrived at the normal passage.
This normal passage is not long, and it only took the four of them two days to reach the end of the passage.
At the end of the passage is a small stone chamber.
There is basically nothing in this stone room. The only decoration is the bluestone chessboard in the center of the stone room.
The strange thing is that the chessboard is empty, without a single chess piece.
"This stone chamber is closed, which means that this is the end of the passage and there is no other way out!"
Ma Yujie walked around the stone room, frowned, and said slightly frustrated.
"Could it be that the void passages found in both directions are not the correct exit?" Jiang Qisheng said with a bitter smile.
Zhuo Wen observed the stone chamber and found that it was too ordinary.
But precisely because it was so ordinary, he was even more confused.
Why is such an ordinary stone chamber hidden in such a mysterious void passage, and there is also a space-time distortion zone in the void passage.
He had personally calculated that the space-time distortion zone was not formed naturally, but was placed there artificially, obviously to prevent intruders.
In addition, it was obvious that someone had entered the void passage before, but there was no trace of coming out.
Moreover, the traces of entry are still relatively new, obviously not more than a month ago.
In this case, when they arrive at the end of this passage, they should be able to see the latest monk who has entered this place. Even if the monk dies, there will always be a body left behind. There is no way there will be no traces at all.
But Zhuo Wen had observed that there were no traces of any monks either on the road or in the stone chamber. So where did the people who came in first go?
Thinking of this, Zhuo Wen's eyes fell on the bluestone chessboard in the center.
He found a hair in the southeast corner of the chessboard.
Picking up the hair, he brought it close to his nose and smelled it. Zhuo Wen smelled a refreshing fragrance. It was obvious that the hair belonged to a woman, and it had just fallen here not long ago.
The hair is here, but where are the people?
"Brother Long, I suspect there is something wrong with this chessboard!"
When Ma Yujie came to Zhuo Wen, she naturally saw the hair in Zhuo Wen's hand, took another look at the bluestone chessboard, and said in a deep voice.
Zhuo Wen glanced at Ma Yujie speechlessly.
The fat man definitely saw him picking up his hair, so he said this.
Because when Ma Yujie entered the stone room, he didn't even look at the bluestone chessboard.
However, Zhuo Wen didn't care about Ma Yujie's afterthought. Instead, he put the hair in the palm of his left hand, kneaded the formula with his right hand, and started to use the magic of heavenly calculation.
Speaking of which, after Zhuo Wen entered this place, he used the fortune-telling technique quite frequently. He already felt seriously that his body was weaker than before.
This kind of weakness is not physical, but the perception of one's own lifespan. After all, using the fortune-telling technique comes at the cost of one's lifespan.
Zhuo Wen knew that if he wanted to solve these lifespan problems, he could only continue to improve his cultivation level and gain more lifespan.
Fortunately, I had just been promoted to the Eternal Lord, and my lifespan had been extended a lot, so he just continued to use the art of celestial calculation.
"This hair belongs to Zhongli Hao Yan, and I have calculated that this is the real exit, and the key is indeed the bluestone chessboard." Zhuo Wen said.
"Will this chessboard help us get out of here? I don't see anything special about it!"
Jiang Qisheng circled the chessboard, his eyes full of confusion.
The fat man Ma Yujie, on the other hand, walked around three times in a leisurely manner, and then sat down pretending to be on the side, shaking his head and saying: "If my guess is correct, this chessboard should be the base of a formation."
"To be more precise, it should be the base of a teleportation array! And the chess pieces on this chessboard should be the key to activating the chessboard!" Zhuo Wen interjected.
"Chess pieces? But there are no chess pieces on the chessboard at all!"
Jiang Qisheng glanced at the chessboard, his eyes even more confused.
Yao Xiangjun was also puzzled. None of them understood the formation very well. Even if Zhuo Wen and Ma Yujie said it was a formation, they only had a partial understanding of it at most.
"I'm afraid the chess piece was taken away by someone who got here first!"
When Ma Yujie said this, he immediately cursed the person who took the chess pieces for being immoral.
Zhuo Wen also agreed with Ma Yujie's guess, and he had indeed deduced this matter during the deduction just now.
"Which of you has jade on your body? The higher grade the better!"
Zhuo Wen said to Ma Yujie and the others.
"Why do you want jade?" Ma Yujie asked in confusion.
"The chess pieces on this chessboard are made of jade. Now I plan to refining the chess pieces and arrange them on this chessboard to completely perfect the formation. Then we can use this teleportation formation!"
Zhuo Wen's eyes were calm. He had just seen a blurry figure activating the formation in front of the chessboard during his calculations.
Although he couldn't see the figures clearly, he could clearly see the positions of the chess pieces on the chessboard.
He speculated that if the calculated positions of the chess pieces on the chessboard could be restored, the formation restrictions existing on the chessboard might be restored.
"I have a lot of jade here!"
Ma Yujie quickly took out a pile of jade stones from the spiritual ring.
Seeing these jade stones, Zhuo Wen's face suddenly became gloomy, because the jade stones that Ma Yujie took out were all ordinary jade stones, the kind from the mortal world, which did not have much energy at all.
"Is there any creation-grade jade?" Zhuo Wen asked in a deep voice.
He felt that the formation of the chessboard was at least a creation level, so the jade used to make the chess pieces had to be at least a creation level.
"Creation-grade jade? Why don't you go and grab it? How could I have it?"
Ma Yujie put away the jade stones and said displeasedly.
"I know you must have it. Now it's crucial for us to leave here and go to the place where Gonggong's body is stored. Are you really not going to contribute some creation-level jade? Of course, if you don't want to, I won't force you!"
Zhuowen Tanshou Tao.
"hateful!"
Ma Yujie had no choice but to fiddle with the spiritual ring for a while, took out a bag of jade and handed it to Zhuo Wen.
Zhuo Wen took the bag with great satisfaction, opened the mouth of the bag, and found that the jade stones inside were all creation grade, crystal clear, like the brightest stars.
