94 Where the Blessed One lives, visit Jiazi Peak at night
At night, they played five consecutive games of chess, but neither Mu Qian nor Chi Si could figure out why.
It also gave Mu Qian a serious crisis of confidence. Although she was not a good chess player in the past, she was trained well by the old master.
He is obviously a young expert who has fought against all his brothers and never lost, but he has been defeated by this man again and again.
And it's not that they were defeated like a mountain, they only lost half a cent every time. They were about to win, but were ruthlessly killed.
Mu Qian has never been a competitive person, but this man only beat her by half every time, which made her really dissatisfied.
"Did you do this on purpose?" Mu Qian stared at the man beside her.
She felt humiliated. This man was teasing her like a cat teasing a mouse.
Chi Si did not answer her words and walked slowly in front of her. Even on the rugged mountain road, he walked very smoothly, as if he were walking on flat ground.
"Only when people can see hope will they strive to move forward." He said slowly.
Heng Li, who was behind the two of them, understood what the man meant. If Miss Mu Qian was completely defeated in one go, she might lose interest after a few times in a row.
The husband has controlled this speed very well, no more, no less, just enough to win half the time. This is the hope for the current lady.
That's why she can become more courageous and keep moving forward.
In order to avoid the people on the road, they went directly through the cliff at the back. There were few people here, and the common ones were lower-level spiritual beasts.
Jiazi Peak and Yihui Peak are connected together. Because they are sealed as forbidden areas, formations are set up below starting from the way up the mountain.
From Wangyue Peak, where Chi Si lives, one can move as fast as possible by relying on the teleportation spell, but the rest of the way can only be walked on their feet.
"Wait here." Chi Si told Heng Li to wait nearby.
The latter obediently hid in the trees and waited for them at the foot of the mountain.
The place Mu Qian and Chi Si could reach using the talisman was on the cliff near the front of Jiazi Peak. If they used spiritual power from here on, they would be sensed by the formation, so they could only walk on their feet.
There is an iron chain suspension bridge here, which is the closest road connecting the two peaks. However, because no one has passed it all year round, no one has repaired it.
The iron chains are already mottled with rust, and are only enough for one person to walk across. They are supported by four iron chains, and the wooden boards underneath have corroded and fallen off, becoming sparse.
It seems really dangerous to just walk there.
Mu Qian stretched out her hand and tried the iron chain. As she shook it, the whole chain made a sound that echoed throughout the valley.
Looking down from here, it's really pitch black with no end in sight, and it's already night. The temperature difference between day and night in the mountains is huge, and now fog has begun to fill the air.
The field of view was directly shortened to less than five meters. In such a harsh environment, the bridge was still swaying in the wind.
Anyone who sees it will feel scared.
"How about you go over and I'll wait for you here?" Mu Qian looked at the man behind her.
Chi Si raised his eyebrows lightly. The man's face was extremely handsome under the moonlight, but it was also coated with a layer of indifference by the moonlight.
"What do you think?" he asked back.
After hearing such an answer, Mu Qian gave up the idea completely and still had to go together.
"If you're scared, tie your hands with this." Chi Si handed over a rope.
What he meant was that their wrists were tied together so that if something went wrong, they would be able to save each other.
With this thought, Mu Qian took the rope, wrapped it around her waist, and then wrapped the other end around Chi Si's waist.
"Are you planning to die with me?" The man looked at her movements and chuckled.
Mu Qian tied the knot very hard, "There is no way. If I can't just walk over with my spiritual power, of course I will be scared, so I have to have peace of mind."
If she wants to die, both of her must die together, otherwise she will be mentally unbalanced.
Chi Si walked in front of her. As soon as he stepped on it, the entire suspension bridge started to shake. Mu Qian grabbed the iron chain on the side with both hands and followed him forward carefully.
There is a lot of humidity in the mountains. This bridge is right on the cliff. Looking down, you can see the abyss. After standing on it, you can feel the cold wind blowing from all directions. This uncontrollable fear is frightening.
Chi Si took every step very steadily. Just after walking two meters, he felt the stillness of the people behind him as he moved forward.
Looking back, I saw people holding the rope and stretching their legs to test it one by one.
"You usually look very brave. Even if you fall, you still have spiritual power to support you, and you can still fly. What are you afraid of?" Chi Si said this with a bit of helplessness.
Mu Qian let out a long breath. She had just walked a few steps out, and she had already stepped on a rotten wooden board and been suspended in the air several times.
Although she can fly, it is a different feeling than flying with spiritual power, so she must be given some time to adapt.
Chi Si didn't rush her, and slowly led her forward step by step.
Now that they are in the formation, if they use spiritual power, they will definitely be noticed by the people above. In this case, they have to walk across the suspension bridge step by step, and then use the concealment spell to hide their aura before moving forward.
"If you're scared, just sing in your heart. If you sing a few more times, you won't be scared anymore." Chi Si said kindly.
Mu Qian finally managed to mentally prepare herself, tried her best to ignore the abyss below, and took the time to reply to Chi Si.
"I don't have enough time to sing."
After finally walking halfway, when the two of them were getting closer and closer to the mountain on the opposite side of the rickety bridge, a gust of wind passed by.
Mu Qian slipped and almost lost her balance. When she felt the rope being pulled back, Chi Si turned around and helped her with one hand.
"be careful!"
Mu Qian saw the sharp arrow behind him coming through the clouds and mist with air-piercing energy.
Chi Si stepped sideways to avoid it, and Mu Qian quickly leaned back, her whole body bent upwards, and three arrows passed above her.
The suspension bridge swayed even more as the two of them moved, and there was a sound of breaking from the wooden board Mu Qian stepped on with her left foot.
She didn't have time to check the situation before she fell completely. With quick eyesight and quick hands, she stretched out one hand and hooked the chain and hung it in mid-air.
The sharp arrows were still being shot over there. Chi Si was very agile and could avoid them time and time again. He was even able to step on an iron chain without wooden boards and feel as if he was on the ground.
He also has to pay attention to controlling the distance between the two from time to time, not too far.
Mu Qian felt a little unable to hold up. The iron rope had been covered with moss in the valley all year round and was very slippery.
"Don't be afraid."
Chi Si quickly avoided an arrow and took the time to calm her down.
If she couldn't use her spiritual power, her current situation would be very dangerous.
With this thought, Mu Qian glanced at the man with vigorous movements, took out the dagger with one hand, and pointed it at the rope around his waist.
Chi Si happened to see her movements when he turned around, and his eyes were pierced.
"Don't!!"
Mu Qian cut the rope connecting the two of them, and the rope that had been holding their waists broke, and the two of them had great freedom of movement.
Mu Qian grabbed the chain with both hands and exerted force. Just when he didn't know how to exert force, Chi Si turned around and fished the person out.
This time she moved much faster, quickly bypassing Chi Si and moving forward, and finally jumped directly to the opposite cliff.
She held her waist and gasped, and almost couldn't help but move the formation. Fortunately, she successfully came over.
The person following behind grabbed her wrist and pulled her over. Mu Qian felt that he was a little excited and blinked.
"What's wrong with you?" He looked unhappy.
"Why cut the rope?"
He lowered his head, his dark eyes like deep lake water unable to see his emotions clearly.
But it reveals a deep whirlpool that can draw people into it.
"In case you die, you don't want to drag me down." The girl said confidently with her hands on her hips.
But in the scene just now, the most dangerous person was clearly not him, but Mu Qian.
Her whole body was already hanging in the air. Once she fell, she would take him with her. Although both of them had spiritual power to protect them from death, they were still in great danger.
Chi Si knew exactly why she cut the rope.
"Why are you looking at me like this?" Mu Qian apologized very seriously, and patted his shoulder easily, making a promise, "I will definitely not abandon you next time, don't worry."
He squeezed Mu Qian's wrist tightly and kept looking down at her without moving.
"Let's go quickly, it will be dawn soon."
Mu Qian dragged the person forward with her backhand. Jiazi Peak is the highest among the seventy-two peaks. It is located in the east and is surrounded by formations on all sides.
Apart from animals, there are no traces of other biological activities. Going over the ropeway nailed to the cliff is not much easier than going over the suspension bridge.
Finally, when she saw the strangely shaped roof under the moonlight, Mu Qian was finally able to take a good breath.
The two of them had long since changed into clothes that could move their muscles and bones, and they had also put on Sundanese masks that allowed them to change their appearance.
In the dead of night, a few lights were sparsely lit in the entire courtyard, and the lights illuminated the scene in the courtyard.
The two of them entered from the south and the north respectively. Mu Qian gently raised his hand and released the tracking spell, and the subtle spiritual power turned into small flying mosquitoes and scattered in the yard.
Mu Qian felt something was wrong from the moment she entered this courtyard. The further she walked in, the more familiar it seemed to her.
The furnishings of this place are very similar to the Qingyuan where her master, the old man, lives in Suoling Pavilion.
Generally, if it is a place where artifacts are stored, there will be very strong spiritual energy pouring out. For example, the place where extremely powerful artifacts like the Qiankun Ring are sealed or suppressed.
The breath of the artifact is still there, and the huge spiritual power is still there. Others can feel the powerful spiritual energy even if they walk here.
But there is a lifeless feeling here, even a bit sinister.
Going in one by one from the south wing to investigate, Mu Qian stopped in the study closest to the inside.
The pen, ink, paper and inkstone were spread out on the desk, and there was some dust under the white jade paperweight. Mu Qian frowned.
The area next to the paperweight was wiped clean, which was clearly the result of the careless cleaning.
But this also proves that this paperweight has not been moved for a long time.
Mu Qian searched in the study for a while, but couldn't find any mechanism or useful information. When he looked up, he saw a scroll on the top of the bookcase.
She hooked it off and spread it out. Her eyes widened after she saw clearly what was inside the scroll.
At the same time, there was a rush of footsteps outside the door.
"Someone broke in!!"
"Search!"
Mu Qian put away the scroll and raised her hand to release the formation. Almost as soon as the pursuer opened the study door, she disappeared into the room.
The whole courtyard was suddenly brightly lit, and the footsteps of people coming and going were chaotic.
Mu Qian sat on the tree, with the words he just saw in his mind.
She couldn't admit it, it was the master's handwriting.
She was taught by her master step by step from the first word she wrote. In fact, the old man's handwriting was not very good. He was far behind the elders in the pavilion. However, he refused to admit defeat and prided himself on being elegant and elegant.
Later, after he gave her the position of Young Pavilion Master of Suoling Pavilion, he confidently left all the affairs in the pavilion to be handled by her. In his free time, he just wrote and played chess.
The most I ever did was to send a picture with inscriptions to all the disciples in the pavilion, saying it was a gift, and very solemnly ordering that every disciple must hang it in the room.
And the calligraphy just now must have been written correctly by the master.
"What are you thinking about?" Chi Si sat down next to her.
Mu Qian came back to her senses and looked up at him, "Did you find anything?"
Chi Si shook his head, "Not here."
And he could even conclude that there was probably no one living in that courtyard.
"After I noticed something strange, I used my spiritual power, but it took such a long time for someone to notice it, which means the person who set up the formation was not here." Mu Qian thought.
She always felt that this yard was very weird, but she couldn't tell what was weird about it.
Even though no one was living there, it was still kept clean.
Obviously nothing important was placed, but numerous formations were set up to block it.
"If this is where the World Honored One lives, why is it so deserted?" Mu Qian bit her fingers and thought.
Moreover, according to rumors from the outside world, the spiritual power of the World Honored One is above the top ten spiritual masters, and he is already a top-level existence.
With such a perceptual ability, she wouldn't have sensed it ten minutes after she deliberately used her spiritual power.
"If it's not here, it's in Dean Fu's hands." Mu Qian lowered her head and thought.
"Let's go." Chi Si and others prepared to leave.
Mu Qian jumped down from the tree and was about to leave when she turned around and saw a small insect flying from a distance.
A series of glowing fireflies are connected in series and change into the form of small animals in the air.
Chi Si felt the body of the person next to him trembling. He put his arm around the girl's shoulders and looked down at her.
"What’s wrong with you."
The firefly kept changing its shape in front of the two of them, and when two long ears finally appeared, Mu Qian suddenly broke free from his hand, turned around and ran back.
Chi Si looked at the freed palm and chased after him.
The person who sensed something strange at Jiazifeng and was assigned to investigate was Yue Mi.
The formation sensed someone intruding, and Jiazifeng was an absolutely forbidden area.
Dean Fu won't be out of seclusion until the next day, and there are not enough manpower in the hospital, so he was naturally arranged to come over.
But after leading the people into the courtyard, he searched for a long time but couldn't find anyone.
Yue Mi stood in the garden, preparing to arrange patrols in batches. When the rest of the people withdrew, she looked up and saw the people standing on the roof.
"There's someone there!!"
The person behind him raised his hand and pointed at the person standing on the roof against the light. The moonlight behind her was extremely bright.
Yue Mi could see clearly that there was a red gardenia pattern on the left side of her face...
