Chapter 1804 Entering Chess Mountain
"What is the origin of that baby?" Zhou Wen asked with a complicated expression.
"Then I don't know. Anyway, your father didn't bring the baby when he entered Qizi Mountain." Jing Daoxian laughed.
"So, little junior brother, you are probably not a human being?" Liuyun said, staring at Zhou Wen with eyes wide open.
"You are not a human being." Zhou Wen said depressedly.
Zhou Wen knew very well that Jing Daoxian was saying this now in order to make him more resolute in his determination to enter Chess Mountain. Whether it was true or not was hard to tell.
Even if it was true, the baby Zhou Lingfeng held out would most likely be Anjing, not him, Zhou Wen.
Of course, this also has a premise, that is, Zhou Lingfeng did not lie, he and An Jing were indeed exchanged.
But Zhou Wen thought again and felt that something was wrong.
In the past, the old principal Ouyang Ting often praised him as a genius, and even said that there are two kinds of geniuses in the world, one is other geniuses and the other is Zhou Wen.
But although Zhou Wen was indeed very talented at that time, he was not as good as this.
Now that we know that Ouyang Ting and Zhou Lingfeng had entered Chess Mountain together, and Ouyang Ting also knows that Zhou Lingfeng had brought a baby out of Chess Mountain, then the old principal's words of praise for Zhou Wen are somewhat intriguing.
"What is the truth?" Zhou Wen felt confused and didn't know which one was the truth.
"You don't have to say all this. Since I promised to go into Chess Mountain with you, I won't go back on my word." Zhou Wen said as if he didn't care.
"Whether I speak or not is up to me, whether I listen or not is up to you." Jing Daoxian said no more and walked in front to lead the way.
The path that Jing Daoxian led was completely different from the path Zhou Wen usually took to enter Qizi Mountain. It bypassed the mountain wall where small flowers grew and came to a ditch.
The three of them crawled into the ditch like rats, and crawled into a narrow square passage, where they could only crawl on all fours.
Zhou Wen had played the Chess Mountain dungeon countless times in the game, and he was a little surprised that he didn't know there was such a secret passage into Chess Mountain.
"It seems that the real Chess Mountain is indeed very different from the game dungeon." Zhou Wen muttered to himself, "This has never happened in other dungeons. At most, there are some subtle differences. It seems that Chess Mountain is indeed different from other dimensional realms."
Because he didn't go to the front mountain wall, Zhou Wen didn't know whether Xiaohua left as Jing Daoxian said.
Jing Daoxian had already reminded them in advance that they could not use any abilities on this section of the road and must restrain all fluctuations of their own vital energy, so the three of them climbed very slowly.
After more than an hour, the three people finally climbed out of the passage. The exit to the sea was a pool made of jade.
It looks like the passage they crawled in through should be the sewer of the pool.
Zhou Wen looked around. He had never seen this place in the game copy, which made him wonder if there was another copy in Qizi Mountain.
"Why is this pool so strange?" Liuyun looked around and noticed something wrong. He pointed at the edge of the pool and said, "Why are there so many small containers there? Such small containers shouldn't be used for showering, right?"
"Alas, silly grandson, I usually tell you to read more books, but you insist on reading those messy things. Haven't you even heard of the world of wine and women?" Jing Daoxian sighed.
"Is this the legendary wine pool?" Liuyun said with some disbelief, "Why don't I smell any alcohol? Instead, I smell a faint smell of blood along the way."
"Hehe, do you think that the wine pool and meat forest are really filled with ordinary wine and meat?" Jing Daoxian sneered.
"What else could it be other than ordinary wine and meat?" Liuyun asked in confusion.
"Think about it yourself." Jing Daoxian said as he climbed out of the wine pool and looked around as if he was searching for something.
Soon, Jing Daoxian walked towards a stone wall and pushed it with his hand. The stone wall slowly opened, revealing a half-artificial and half-natural passage.
Led by Jing Daoxian, the three entered the passage. As they walked, Liuyun suddenly vomited with a "wow" sound.
Zhou Wen also looked a little unhappy. On both sides of the passage, there were mummies hanging everywhere. Each one looked like moldy and hairy bacon, and they were as densely packed as a dense forest.
"Could this be the legendary meat forest...the wine pool..." Liuyun muttered to himself halfway, and then vomited with a "wow" sound.
"There is a reason why Shang Tang fell." After a while, Liuyun wiped the stains from the corner of his mouth and said.
Jing Daoxian ignored Liuyun and just walked forward slowly.
After passing through the passage, there was a huge stone chamber. In the center of the stone chamber stood a metal object several meters high. It looked like a furnace and a tripod, and was covered with black oily mud.
"This should be the torture instrument for burning people alive with fire, right?" Zhou Wen said as he looked at the metal device.
"You could also call it an alchemy furnace," Jing Daoxian said, narrowing his eyes. "The ancients were obsessed with alchemy, believing that to achieve immortality, they had to increase their lifespan. And the best way to increase lifespan is naturally to replenish the body with like."
"In other words, the so-called punishment of burning people alive with fire is just an excuse. They are using humans to make elixirs?" Zhou Wen really couldn't imagine what an absurd and ignorant era that was.
These places are not found in the game copies, but they have some overlap with history and are completely different from the game copies of pure myths and legends.
"Where are we going?" Zhou Wen couldn't help but frown when he saw Jing Daoxian walk around the metal object and head towards the stone gate on the other side.
We have been in Chess Mountain for such a long time, but we haven't seen a single alien creature. This seems a little strange.
"We'll be there soon." Jing Daoxian pushed open the stone door and walked in without further explanation.
Zhou Wen glanced at Liuyun and saw that he also had an indifferent expression. It was obvious that he didn't know much more than Zhou Wen.
Since we have come this far, there is no reason to retreat now. We have no choice but to follow Liuyun.
"Big Brother, are you really Jing Daoxian's grandson?" Zhou Wen said to Liuyun who was standing beside him.
"It should be." Liuyun said with a wry smile.
"I heard that the old guy made an enemy of the entire Federation for a woman, and I never heard that he got married. How come he had a son and a grandson?" Although Zhou Wen lowered his voice, how could Jing Daoxian in front of him not hear it? In fact, he was saying this to Jing Daoxian.
Qizi Mountain is such a dangerous place, but Jing Daoxian actually brought Liuyun with him. This made him very suspicious that Liuyun had also been deceived by the old man Jing Daoxian.
If he really was my grandson, and he was my only child, who would be willing to bring him to such a hellish place?
"We're here." Jing Daoxian ignored Zhou Wen and stopped in front.
Zhou Wen and Liu Yun looked along the well path and saw a temple-like building in front of them. It was built entirely of stone. The stone door was open and a jade statue carved out of white jade could be seen inside.
