Chapter 1942 Chess Game
A stone pavilion appeared in front of Ye Chunyang. In the pavilion sat a white-haired old woman. In front of the old woman was a chessboard with a few chess pieces scattered on it.
On the other side of the old woman, Ding Ning was looking at him with surprise.
Seeing this scene, Ye Chunyang already had the answer in his heart.
"It's really surprising that the boy can pass through the black bamboo forest so quickly." Master Tianzhu looked at Ye Chunyang with a strange light in his eyes.
She had been paying attention to Ye Chunyang's every move in the black bamboo forest. She thought that even if Ye Chunyang could pass the test of the illusion of the black bamboo forest, it would take at least ten days and a half. Unexpectedly, he had already reached here in just a few days.
"Senior, is Master Tianzhu?" Ye Chunyang asked.
Master Tianzhu nodded, looked at Ye Chunyang with strange eyes and said: "Your performance has surprised me all the way, but what surprises me the most is that you can instantly break through the mystery of the black hole. Even if many people can find it, The black hole may not be known to be the exit of the secret realm of the Black Bamboo Forest.”
"Senior, thank you." Ye Chunyang said humbly.
He was actually a little surprised. He originally thought that the mysterious Master Tianzhu would be an old monk with an immortal spirit, but the appearance of this old woman was quite different from what he had expected.
"Can you tell me, how did you know that you can get out of the black bamboo forest by entering the black hole?" Master Tianzhu showed a smile. The person that the old guy liked was indeed extraordinary.
"I didn't know that there was the exit of the secret realm. I just relied on intuition." Ye Chunyang said calmly.
"Intuition?" Master Tianzhu was stunned, then shook his head and laughed: "So, your intuition is quite sharp, but do you know what the consequences will be if you make a wrong judgment?"
"I know." Ye Chunyang thought for a moment and said, "If you make a mistake in your judgment, you may be strangled by the storm in the black hole and end up with your body and soul destroyed."
"Since you know, why do you dare to break in?" Master Tianzhu asked, looking at Ye Chunyang with interest.
"I'm just betting."
"bet?"
Ye Chunyang nodded and said: "The black bamboo forest is an illusion. If you advance, you will live, if you retreat, you will die. Once you enter the illusion, there is no way out. In this case, why don't I give it a try?"
Master Tianzhu was really surprised.
She looked at Ye Chunyang and said nothing, because she felt that there was something different about this young man.
Ye Chunyang was also looking directly at Master Tianzhu, waiting for her to speak.
"Come and sit." After a long time, Master Tianzhu waved his hand and said.
Ye Chunyang glanced at the chessboard in front of Master Tianzhu, and then sat down opposite.
"Congratulations, senior, for passing the Black Bamboo Forest trial." Ding Ning congratulated from the side.
Ye Chunyang smiled and nodded.
Ding Ning looked at him, lowered his head apologetically, and said, "I have tried to intercede with Master before, but the rules of Tianzhu Island cannot be changed. Please forgive me, senior."
"It doesn't matter, it's not your fault." Ye Chunyang said with a smile.
He has never thought about relying on others. After so many years of practice, he has a deep understanding of the truth that nothing in the world comes for nothing. If you want to have what you want, you can only get it through your own dedication and hard work.
Although the trial in Black Bamboo Forest is dangerous, isn't it an improvement for oneself? Therefore, Ye Chunyang looked at all this with a normal heart.
At this time, Master Tianzhu stood up and walked to a pillar. She raised her hand to turn a mechanism. A mirror suddenly appeared on the pillar, and a ray of light was projected from it, showing the figures of Liu Yunfeng and Zhao Tong.
"Besides you, there are four other people who entered the Black Bamboo Forest this time. Two of them were killed by you, and there are two left." Master Tianzhu said in a hoarse voice.
Ye Chunyang's heart was slightly shaken, but on the surface he was calm as usual.
"Don't be nervous. I don't mean to blame you. Every year in this chaotic sea of immortals, many people come to my place and want to play chess with me, but in the end, only a few people can come out of the black bamboo forest. Those people are dead. If you die, you will die, each has his own destiny," Master Tianzhu said quietly.
Ye Chunyang secretly breathed a sigh of relief. He looked at Master Tianzhu, but he was a little surprised.
The other party did not have any spiritual power, and he looked like an ordinary person.
Ye Chunyang frowned secretly. If Master Tianzhu was really just an ordinary person, how did he control this huge Tianzhu Island?
Not to mention other things, this secret realm of black bamboo forest hides endless mysteries, which cannot be arranged by an ordinary person.
"I'm afraid these two people won't be able to come out of the black bamboo forest. Anyway, many people have died here. Let's give them a way to survive."
Master Tianzhu muttered to himself, walked to another stone pillar on the opposite side, and swung another mechanism.
A shocking scene occurred.
The space in the black bamboo forest was distorted. Liu Yunfeng and the two of them, who were struggling to resist the illusion, were suddenly drawn into a gap in space, and the next moment they appeared outside Tianzhu Island.
Ye Chunyang's pupils shrank slightly. Master Tianzhu looked like an ordinary person, but he could control the fate of two late-stage god-transformation monks at will. He could see clearly just now that if Master Tianzhu's mechanism changed slightly, the two of them could It's not just as simple as being forcibly teleported.
"Can you play chess?"
Just when Ye Chunyang was secretly shocked, Master Tianzhu sat back down in his original position and asked him with a smile.
Ye Chunyang looked at the chessboard in front of him, then at Master Tianzhu, and then nodded.
Master Tianzhu smiled and said: "Ding Ning has made my rules clear to you. I can indeed let you advance to the void state, but only if you can break my chess game."
Ye Chunyang's eyes fell on the chessboard.
I saw that the chess pieces on the chessboard were scattered and scattered, as if they were placed randomly. There was no chess technique at all. At first glance, it looked like a layman's game.
"This chess game is called Linglong Chess Game. It has been here for many years. Some people have cracked it, and some have been sitting here for hundreds or thousands of years without being able to crack it." Master Tianzhu said.
Ye Chunyang pondered for a while and asked: "As long as I crack the senior's chess game, I can get your advice?"
"Of course." Master Tianzhu nodded slightly, "But it's not my guidance, but your own opportunity."
"Junior doesn't understand." Ye Chunyang frowned.
"Of course you won't understand now." Master Tianzhu said lightly with an enigmatic smile.
Ye Chunyang stared at the chessboard, thoughtfully.
"You have enough time." Master Tianzhu poured himself a cup of tea and said nothing more after saying this.
Ye Chunyang sat calmly and carefully observed each chess piece for a while. He didn't know much about chess, he could only be said to be somewhat familiar with it. Although the exquisite chess game in front of him looked messy, he didn't look down upon it at all.
Because he knew very well that it was unusual for countless monks to rush here.
Ye Chunyang was thinking quietly like this, his thoughts rising and falling in the sea of consciousness, using all his wisdom to watch the chess game.
When he first watched it, Ye Chunyang felt that this chess game was actually very simple and could be solved by just placing a random piece.
But when he decided to do this, he suddenly found that once he made a move, he would immediately fall into a desperate situation, which made him become cautious again.
The deeper he looked, the more Ye Chunyang felt that this game of chess was wonderful. It seemed that there was always a way out, but in fact, it was surrounded by dangers. One wrong move could lead to death.
Unconsciously, the time of burning incense passed, and Ye Chunyang sat there quietly, still not moving.
Soon, an hour passed.
Ye Chunyang was still sitting there.
Two hours, three hours, five hours... one day, two days, three days... five days!
Ye Chunyang remained motionless.
Opposite him, Master Tianzhu sat with a calm expression, drinking tea from time to time, looking very patient.
Ding Ning looked at Ye Chunyang, who was staring at the chess game without saying a word, like an old monk in trance, with worry in his eyes.
Having been with Master Tianzhu for many years, she is very aware of the horror of this chess game. Some people sit here for many years. In the end, instead of solving it, they are trapped by their own inner demons and have never been able to get out of the shadow in their hearts.
She didn't know whether Ye Chunyang could crack the chess game, but it seemed that the difficulty of this move was already evident.
"If you can't crack it, you can give up. I will send you out of the island safely." Master Tianzhu glanced at Ye Chunyang and said with an indifferent expression.
She really wanted to see if this young man who made even the old drunkard look up to him could break the chess game, but she knew better how difficult it was. Most of the time, what was needed to break the game was not talent, perseverance, nor magical powers, but an opportunity. .
Things like chance are so elusive that no one can explain it clearly.
Ye Chunyang didn't answer, and still sat there calmly, motionless.
Master Tianzhu sighed and did not continue to say more.
Time passed by little by little, and another half month passed without realizing it. The stone pavilion was very quiet, and no one among the three people spoke. Only when the sea breeze blew around, deafening sounds came from the black bamboo forest from time to time. The sound of bamboo waves.
On the thirty-seventh day, Ye Chunyang stood up.
Ding Ning and Master Tianzhu stared at each other at the same time.
Master Tianzhu glanced at Ye Chunyang. He had not made a move. He had not even moved for more than a month. He couldn't help but sigh with disappointment and said: "Since you can't crack the chess game, I will send you out of the island." ”
With that said, some kind of mechanism was about to be activated.
"Senior misunderstood, this situation has been solved." Ye Chunyang suddenly said.
Master Tianzhu was startled when he heard this.
Ding Ning also looked over with surprise.
Ye Chunyang smiled, reached out and picked up a chess piece, and dropped it towards a certain position on the chessboard.
Master Tianzhu looked at his move, his expression suddenly changed, he frowned and said: "The move you are going to make is a dead end, have you really thought about it?"
Ye Chunyang smiled, and the chess pieces still fell into the chessboard.
Master Tianzhu frowned, and then shook his head in disappointment. No one who had ever been able to break the game had ever made this move.
