Tianwei Chapter 324: Starry Chess Game (3)

The blood spurted out like a fountain, with a faint sound of wind, and I could even see a sea of blood in front of my eyes. Some people say that when an artery is cut, the higher and farther the blood spurts out, the healthier your heart is. This is a strange way of testing, and now I understand it.
I don’t know if it was pain or numbness, but a mixture of cold and warm feelings burst out in my throat.
I heard the chess master shouting something angrily, but I was too weak to look at him.
It was getting darker and darker in front of my eyes. The starry sky was no longer as brilliant as before, but blurry and dim.
I couldn't see the old Taoist priest beside me, nor could I see Fanran in the distance; everything gradually disappeared in the darkness.
My consciousness was becoming increasingly faint, as if I was about to fall asleep.
Suddenly, I felt my feet were empty, as if I had fallen into an abyss in my sleep. The panic of falling from a high altitude made me open my eyes suddenly.
Before I could see everything clearly, I heard a familiar voice say in a surprised tone: You're awake.
I looked in the direction of the voice, and was surprised to see Banran standing in front of me with a worried look on his face.
You... I looked at her and subconsciously turned around to look around. To my surprise, I was still standing in the same room as before.
Have you been there too? His face was filled with worry.
Yes. I nodded, and then I saw the old Taoist priest, Wei Qingcang, and Gamu standing next to me. They were still the same as before, but they all closed their eyes and were silent.
I immediately understood that the three of them were still trapped in the star realm and had not escaped.
While I was worried, I felt a little happy and a little disappointed.
I was happy that I actually broke out of the Star Luo chessboard, but I was disappointed that I had finally mustered up so much courage but only managed to break the Star Luo chess game.
Is there any way to wake them up?
I looked at the big rock next to me that was emitting a dim light, and couldn't help shaking my head and saying: I guess only they can solve it themselves. This thing can't be broken by external force. By the way, how did you get out?
This question made me extremely curious. Among the crowd, Fan Ran can be said to be the weakest except me. I was able to come up with that method to break the situation by accident. But what about her? In terms of wisdom, she is not as good as Wei Qingcang. In terms of bravery, she is not as good as Gamu. In terms of determination, she is far inferior to the old Taoist.
But such a person is now the first to crack the Star Chess Game, which is hard to understand.
Me? He stared at the big stone angrily and said: I knew at a glance that they were all illusions. He wants to play chess, so I will destroy all the chess pieces and see how he plays with me!
And then you came out? My mouth dropped open.
yes.
How did you destroy it?
Beat them to death one by one, there are so many people, I am so tired.
I was speechless. This girl was just as violent as I imagined. I was worried about whether she would do this, but I didn't expect that she would not only do it, but also break out of the situation one by one.
It seems that there is more than one way to break the Star Chess game.
Or, like me, let one of the players die.
Or do what she did and destroy all the chess pieces.
There is no game without chess, and of course there is no game without chess pieces.
The power of the Star Chess Game is unimaginable, but its weakness is also fatal. It must be said that this is a shortcoming.
What makes me curious is, what would happen if I couldn’t get out and was trapped to death in there?
The Taoist priests and the others seemed to have lost consciousness. It was obvious that only the soul entered the chessboard. The soul has consciousness and memory. In a sense, the soul is a person.
But the soul is useless because it is the materialization of thought and cannot do certain things like the body.
It is for this reason that the Eight Ropeways are useless in the Star Chess Game, because I only have thoughts, but no medium to communicate with heaven and earth.
Come up with a solution quickly! Fan Ran's anxious shout interrupted my contemplation.
I looked at her and said helplessly: I have no choice but to wait, hoping that they will be as smart as you...
call……
As he was speaking, he suddenly heard a breath from the side. He turned around and saw that it was Wei Qingcang who opened his eyes.
He looked at us with a look of surprise and confusion. I knew his confusion, so I said directly: We have all been tricked. This stone can't go back to the past, but it has trapped us in a chess game.
Wei Qingcang was a smart man, and he understood it immediately. He nodded and said with some emotion: I didn't expect that obsession would become a trap. The man surnamed Liao is indeed a character, and I fell into his trap without knowing it. However, you two came out so quickly, I really didn't expect it...
It was just a coincidence. I told Fanran and I how to break the impasse. Wei Qingcang looked at Fanran in surprise and said: So you also thought of this method.
She didn't think of it, her brain was full of muscles, it was completely accidental, I said.
You have all the muscle in your head! You also have duck meat, pork, and toad meat in your head! Suddenly he yelled at me.
Hahaha... Wei Qingcang laughed and said: Luck is also part of strength. It's good that you can get out.
But did you come up with a solution while you were there? I asked curiously.
Wei Qingcang hummed and was about to speak when he heard another exhalation next to him. I turned around and saw that it was the old Taoist who woke up this time.
After he opened his eyes, he looked around and then fixed his eyes on us. He looked a little surprised, as if he didn't expect to come out after us.
He screamed in surprise and joy, his ears were almost deafened by the noise.
Stop yelling, or the wolves will come and take you away!
You are the wolf! You big pervert! He suddenly spat at me.
I rolled my eyes and said, "How dare you say that your father is a pervert? Go and tell your mother about it!"
How did you break the impasse? Wei Qingcang asked over there.
Fanran and I immediately stopped talking, both of us were very curious about what the experienced man should do.
The old Taoist looked at us and then said lightly: Play chess.
Playing chess? Wei Qingcang was stunned for a moment, then asked: Did you win?
The Taoist priest looked at him and said nothing. This was obviously a stupid question. How could he come out if he didn't win?
But this is even more shocking. The Xingluo chess game is a game of chess that traps people. As the chess master, his chess skills must be superb. It is obviously extremely difficult to break the game by winning the game.
But the old Taoist walked all the way to the end along this most difficult road.
Really...
At this time, among the five people, only Gamu had not woken up. Wei Qingcang frowned, as if he was talking to himself, and as if he was asking: Strange, I clearly lured out his soul, how could he fall into the trap?
Liao Xianer. The old Taoist priest spoke.
Liao Xianer? Wei Qingcang turned and looked at him.
I made a rule with the chess master: if he answers a question of mine, I will give him a piece. The old Taoist said.
I couldn't help but feel ashamed, and Fanran immediately asked curiously: How many questions did you ask him?
Four, the old Taoist priest replied.
This is even more embarrassing, that the four of them were able to win... However, from this point we can also see that the Taoist's inner confidence is incredibly strong and is simply impeccable.
Liao Xian'er's power comes from witches. Although we don't know what kind of witch she is or where she is from, we can be sure that she is at least different from witch doctors. The old Taoist said: The power of witches can drive ghosts and gods. When Huangdi and Chiyou fought, the witches used magic to drive the dead soldiers back to their hometowns. The corpse-driving lineage in Xiangxi was transformed from this.
Do you mean that Liao Xian'er used witchcraft to control the soul? Wei Qingcang asked.
Yes. The old Taoist nodded and said: Witch power is the most bizarre and difficult to detect. That is why we fell into the trap. He had already planned it. If you don't want to damage the Heavenly Corpse Vein, I won't make it difficult for you, so Liao Xian'er appeared after we asked about the so-called truth.
Wei Qingcang was stunned for a long time before he shook his head and sighed: I should have killed him directly if I had known.
He was so accurate in his calculations and had a perfect grasp of people's hearts. The old Taoist said: I suspect that the body might not be real either.
Oh? Wei Qingcang was even more surprised.
Clone? I interrupted.
The old Taoist was slightly stunned, then nodded and said: It is possible.
Why do you doubt this? I asked.
We were all careless. There was a flaw in his plan, and it was the only flaw. However, we didn't notice it and ignored it.
What's the flaw? Fanran asked curiously, blinking his big eyes.
Wei Qingcang was also a little confused. Neither of us could think of any flaws in this plan.
It was that body. The old Taoist said: He had taken the immortality elixir, so even if he was injured by you, the wound should have healed automatically. But from beginning to end, his injuries did not change at all. None of us noticed this.
You put it that way... Wei Qingcang hesitated for a moment, then said: It seems to be true. After catching him, we were all a little proud and relaxed our vigilance, so we didn't have the energy to check carefully.
So this is his only flaw. The old Taoist said: The body that has taken the immortality elixir is too important to him. So much so that he dares to take risks with his soul, but not with his real body. This is his only flaw, although it is not big...
But we didn't notice it after all. Wei Qingcang sighed and said: He still won, and the winner has nothing to say and is convinced.
What victory! Fanran stood aside and curled his lips: I don't think he won. We all came out and didn't die in there. He got nothing, okay?
Having said this, we couldn't help but look at Gamu.
He still didn't move, and Wei Qingcang frowned even more. I walked over and asked him in a low voice: How is Gamu's chess skill?
The corners of Wei Qingcang's mouth twitched slightly, and he uttered four words: Rotten beyond repair.
Then... I was asking what to do, but I swallowed the words back because this question was meaningless. Now, we can only wait and wait for Gamu to break the impasse himself. There is no other way.
But... I couldn't help but look at the big rock.
Did Mr. Liao take such a big risk just to trick us into going in for a spin? What the chess master said might be true. If we all lose, our souls will be trapped and die in there. However, Mr. Liao must have taken many unexpected factors into consideration, such as his experienced chess skills and our carelessness.
So, is this really the only function of the Star Chess Game...
