Chapter 96: Tian Yuan's Son
A gentle breeze blew through the quiet bamboo forest, and only the rustling sound of bamboo leaves echoed around. Occasionally, a few birds chirped, which seemed very elegant.
Xia Yu woke up slowly from his sleep. When he opened his eyes, he saw the lush green bamboo forest all around.
There was no other sound in my ears except the sound of wind and bamboo leaves.
"What the hell?"
Xia Yu sat up suddenly and looked around in astonishment. Where was this? Wasn't he sleeping at home just now?
The atmosphere in the bamboo forest was weird, as if no one had ever been here. Looking at the bamboo forest, Xia Yu was silent.
Did he travel through time? But where is this?
After thinking for a moment, he still had no idea. After all, he didn't buy any strange jade pendant, nor did he perform any strange luck-changing rituals. How could he suddenly travel through time?
Could it be that during the time he was asleep, he was killed by a star destroyer that fell from the sky? That was too outrageous.
Xia Yu shook his head. He had no idea after thinking about it over and over again. He decided to go for a walk around the area. Perhaps he could gather some clues.
There was still no special change in the bamboo forest, but when Xia Yu observed carefully, he suddenly found that there seemed to be a road in the bamboo forest.
A path leading into the bamboo forest.
Hmm, it's suspicious, but it seems this is the only way to go.
Without thinking too long, Xia Yu followed the path and walked in. Not long after, a stone table and chessboard appeared in front of him deep in the bamboo forest.
The moment he saw the chessboard on the stone table, he subconsciously walked over...
Only when he got closer did he discover that there was an old man wearing a bamboo hat sitting in front of the stone table. The old man's face was hidden in the shadow of the bamboo hat, with only half of his bearded face showing.
“You’re here…”
An old voice sounded from the old man's mouth. Looking at this scene, Xia Yu suddenly had a sense of déjà vu. Why did it look so familiar?
A fate related to chess?
"Excuse me, who are you?" Xia Yu asked, looking at the old man in front of him.
"You can call me Zhang San." The old man replied.
Outlaw?
However, looking at the old man's appearance, Xia Yu suppressed the title that inexplicably emerged in his mind, and asked instead: "Excuse me, where is this place?"
"You can call this place Ghost Valley."
Guigu? Zhang San? He traveled to the world of Guigu Bahuang?
The stone table, the chessboard, and the old man Zhang San, isn’t this the beginning of the game of Guigu Bahuang?
Although it was just a brief opening scene when I first played the game, this scene is still more or less recognizable.
As if noticing Xia Yu's gaze lingering on the chessboard, the old man named Zhang San suddenly explained: "This game of chess has been played for three thousand years. It has no beginning and will never end... You can also call it the 'Map of the Eight Desolate Mountains and Seas'."
"Forehead……"
Xia Yu was stunned when he heard the old man suddenly explain. He hadn't asked anything yet, so why did you answer it yourself?
However, this also confirmed to him that this was the real world, and the old man in front of him was not the kind of NPC who would only answer one question at a time.
Seeing Xia Yu's stunned expression, Zhang San laughed and said, "My friend, do you have any questions?"
Hearing Zhang San's question , Xia Yu rolled his eyes in his heart. He then had many doubts, such as why he traveled through time and why he traveled into this game.
Wait, could it be that the time traveler was able to travel through time because of his innate luck?
Xia Yu suddenly thought of a setting in Ghost Valley of Immortals. In this game, players can choose three innate destinies before starting to play. He chose the innate destiny .
Could it be that it was this innate destiny that allowed him to travel through time?
Thinking of this, Xia Yu took a breath of cold air. Guigu Studio was so terrifying that if you chose a time traveler, you would really travel through time. It was outrageous!
So he traveled through time and space and became the protagonist of the game he controlled?
Looking at the old man named Zhang San in front of him, Xia Yu thought about it and decided to follow the lines in the game. After all, looking at the current situation, he probably has no other choice, and other choices may not be as good as the current one.
"Who am I? Where do I come from? Where am I going?"
As soon as the three philosophical questions were asked, Zhang San burst into laughter as if he had heard some key words.
“Hahaha, good question, good question!”
"Who are you, where are you from, where are you going? My friend, how about we play a game first? I can give you a move."
After saying that, three streams of light suddenly flew out from the chess basket and hovered in front of Xia Yu.
Looking at the three artifacts in front of him emitting different lights, Xia Yu's breathing became heavier. These were the three artifacts that could be selected at the beginning of the game, namely the Haotian Eye, the Pisces Pendant, and the Demon Refining Pot.
The Haotian Eye is one of the ancient Hongmeng treasures. It can allow the user to see farther in the universe. It also possesses various abilities such as perspective, recognition, and comprehension. It can even trigger the protection of heaven when in crisis, allowing the user to escape. However, all of this requires charging with spirit stones.
According to legend, in ancient times, Emperor Jun used this object to observe the human world, and all things in the world could not escape the sight of Haotian.
The Pisces pendant can allow the owner to be reborn as long as the points are possessed. Moreover, this item can be divided into two and given to another person. Both parties can work together and protect each other.
Legend has it that when Pangu created the world, the chaotic breath in the universe gradually turned into the energy of heaven and earth, and the Pisces Pendant was a treasure derived from this process!
At the same time, the Pisces Pendant also contains the laws of nature that no one can comprehend, and no one knows its specific effects.
The last one is the Demon Refining Pot, which is also one of the ancient Hongmeng treasures. It can collect demon beasts in it to refine their ferocity and make them gain intelligence for the user to command .
This item was a magic weapon used by Yuanshi Tianzun before he attained enlightenment. It can refine monsters for his own use.
Looking at the three artifacts floating in front of him, Xia Yu thought silently. The meaning of letting one child come was to choose one out of the three. He wanted to say that he wanted them all, but for the sake of his own life, he held back and said this.
According to the beginning of the game, he can only choose the Pisces Pendant, and the other two artifacts cannot be obtained before the unlocking conditions are met.
But this is not a game, so at the old man's suggestion, Xia Yu can choose any one.
However, although he can choose at will, Xia Yu still prefers the Pisces Pendant, not only because the Pisces Pendant can allow the owner to be reborn after death, but also because the Pisces Pendant contains the laws of heaven.
You may not be able to see the difference in the early stage, but in the later stage, the Pisces pendant will definitely have a greater effect.
Moreover, the birth of the Pisces Pendant is not comparable to the Haotian Eye and the Demon Refining Pot. The Pisces Pendant is a treasure automatically derived from the Breath of Chaos, while the other two artifacts are produced through refining.
Of course, the main reason is that the Pisces Pendant has no usage requirements, the Haotian Eye needs spirit stones to charge, and the Demon Refining Pot requires the user to capture the monsters and refine them himself.
This was too difficult for a handsome man like him who was weak as a kitten. Not to mention catching monsters, he didn't even have any spirit stones.
The Pisces Pendant comes with nine points, which is equivalent to nine lives. How can you not choose this life-saving weapon?
