Mu Ranwu's group also had no choice. Mu Ranwu's eyes rolled around, then turned to ask his disciples: "Which gate do you think is best to go to?"

Whatever the disciples could say, they would naturally listen to their master. Mu Ranwu smiled and stood still, not seeming to be anxious.

At this time, the Taoist friends who showed their abilities in the Eight Immortals Crossing the Sea also chose the gates to enter the formation. However, people entered from the west and east gates, but no one entered from the gate in the north. This was because the gate exuded a thick black aura, and from time to time there were sounds of monsters roaring inside, which was really gloomy.

Su Yishui also turned around and asked Ran Ran: "If it were you, which one would you go to?"

Ran Ran blinked and thought for a while, then pointed to the north gate: "This is it!"

Su Yishui raised his eyebrows and asked, "Why this?"

Ran Ran's answer was straightforward: "The God of Wealth, Wang Suizhi, once said that if I go north, I will make a fortune! I guess it's right to listen to him."

Although Wang Suizhi deliberately raised his voice to change the subject because he noticed Mu Ranwu coming, but God of Wealth Wang is always right in pointing out the way to wealth!

Qiu Xier shrugged her shoulders weakly: "My little junior sister, if we die and find a coffin, that would be considered a fortune! How can we listen to a businessman's words about such an important matter as breaking the evil formation?"

Unexpectedly, Su Yishui nodded after hearing this, pointed to the north gate and said: "There shouldn't be any idle people on this road, it's quieter, let's take this way..."

The remaining disciples had not expected that their master's reason was even more crude and hasty. They just wanted to have a quieter environment with fewer people, and their expressions fell.

But they had to obey the master's order, so the rest of them followed Su Yishui into the North Gate. Mu Ranwu also chose the North Gate without hesitation and followed Su Yishui and the others.

She had servants around her who could rival Su Yishui, so she was not afraid of him turning against her for the time being.

Compared with those unreliable famous families and the strange people in the Alien House, Mu Ranwu is more willing to believe in the choice of Su Yishui and her sister in the previous life.

So the two groups entered the most dangerous north gate one after the other.

The moment they stepped in, the ground in the center of the formation where everyone was standing suddenly collapsed and fire rose up.

It seems that what Shen Kuang said is true. If he hesitated for a moment longer, he would be trapped in the sea of ​​fire.

After entering the north gate, we entered a closed barrier, which was not as scary as it looked from the outside.

This place seemed to be a dark and damp cave. There seemed to be a faint light ahead, but when everyone got closer to the light, they couldn't help but take a few steps back.

It turned out that there was a stone chessboard right in front of me, but the huge creature sitting next to the chessboard and playing chess didn't look like a human at all!

Although he has a human face, his body looks more like a giant flea that has sucked enough blood...

Ran Ran vaguely guessed that the main enemy in the barrier they had broken into should be the human-faced flea among the Five Evils.

It is said that this man-faced flea was the first person to use the Seven-Shape Evil Curse. Back then, he was Duntian's best friend, but he also fell in love with Duntian's wife Rong Yao.

After Rong Yao chose Duntian, his personality changed drastically and he turned to the way of evil. In the end, he went astray and used an evil spell by mistake, and merged with a flea. From then on, he was half human, half insect. In the end, he became an evil spirit and was used by the Demon King and merged into the Five Evils Formation.

It is said that this man is a very good chess player, and he and Rong Yao fell in love because of chess. This obsession has not changed even after he became a demon, and he has turned out a chess game in this formation to entertain himself.

"I was having a lot of fun, but here come you annoying bastards... Well, I haven't sucked human blood for a long time, and with you I can have a good meal..."

As the man-faced flea was talking, he suddenly laughed strangely. At the same time, the aura in the cave changed. The air suddenly became thick, making it hard for people to breathe.

Everyone who entered the cave had already accumulated Qi in their Dantian. In this situation, it was like entering water and they automatically held their breath. However, the thick air here seemed to consume a lot of Qi. It was difficult to set up a spiritual shield when fighting while holding their breath.

But at this time, countless large fleas continued to attack, and everyone could only swing their swords to chop them. But when Gao Cang cut off a flea, the green liquid of the big insect splashed onto his clothes, burning his clothes and making him scream.

The same happened to several other people. The only one who was not splashed was Ranran. Because when the insect fluid splashed over, Su Yishui pulled her into his arms and protected her tightly. The insect fluid splashed onto his back. Ranran looked up at his frowning eyebrows and knew that he must have been burned very painfully.

Bai Baishan was accidentally bitten by a bug, and his right arm became numb instantly, and he couldn't even hold the sword.

The fleas kept coming one after another, seemingly endlessly. If I didn't kill the bugs, I would be bitten and my whole body would be numb. If I killed the bugs, they would inevitably spurt out terrible insect fluid.

By then, there will be no need for those insects to eat them, the splashing insect fluid alone will corrode their bodies.

This north gate is so dangerous. Mu Ranwu hid behind the two servants who seemed to be insensitive to pain and cursed angrily: "Xue Ranran, look at what you have done. You actually chose such an evil formation!"

Xue Ranran actually wanted to roll her eyes at her. It wasn't her who tricked Master Mu into coming in. It was Mu Ranwu who followed her eagerly, yet she started to complain about others.

Ran Ran knew that this was not a solution, so he shouted at the man: "You are still playing those lousy moves? I am so ashamed for you!"

As soon as these words were spoken, thousands of giant fleas suddenly made noisy angry noises, making people's ears numb.

Then the insects stopped making sounds. When the insects retreated like a tide, the man-faced flea raised his head, waved his paws, and said sinisterly, "Little girl, you actually said that my chess skills are not good?"

Xue Ranran nodded, pointed at Su Yishui and said, "My master is a master at chess. Do you dare to compete with him?"

The human-faced flea glanced at Su Yishui with contempt, and suddenly laughed strangely: "Okay, I haven't played chess with anyone for a long time! If you win, I will let you out, but if you lose... I will suck you all into a whole piece of skin!

Ran Ran turned to look at his master and said with certainty: "Master, it's up to you from now on!"

But Su Yishui looked at her strangely and whispered, "When did I learn to play chess?"

At this point, the rest of the people were a little bit excited. Bai Baishan couldn't wait to say, "But Master, you are really good at chess. You always set up the chess pieces in the study!"

Su Yishui had a grim expression. Although he found chess pieces in his study, he had no memory of playing chess.

Ran Ran squatted down in frustration. She guessed the reason. Su Yishui must have learned the chess skill from Mu Qingge in his previous life. Unfortunately, he completely forgot this skill that could save his life at the critical moment.

After asking around, I found out that except for Xue Ranran who had read the chess records collected by her master in the library and had played a few games of chess with Su Yishui before, no one else knew how to play.

But at this time Shen Kuang said: "I do know a little bit about it, why don't you let me do it."

But the big flea refused to do it. It jumped up high and said in a sinister tone, "Didn't you say to let that pretty boy go? You can't change him on the spot!"

The most handsome man among the people who came in was the one with the cold face. The human-faced flea hated pretty boys the most in his life.

It would be really nice to see this man being beaten to a pulp!

Thinking of this, he waved his paws and a huge chessboard appeared. He smiled sinisterly and said, "Playing chess is boring. Let's use humans as pieces and play chess!"

After saying that, he took the lead and commanded a flea to jump onto the huge chessboard.

Qiu Xier was so annoyed that she shouted, "How can we play this? You have countless giant bugs, but we only have a few of us. Won't we run out of chess pieces?"

The human-faced flea shouted so loudly that it made people's eardrums numb: "I don't care! You guys figure it out! If you don't even have this little ability, why would you want to play chess with me?"

Su Yishui stood beside the chessboard, his face was as stinky as a chess piece. Ran Ran used voice transmission to say in secret: "I don't know that Master forgot to play chess, how about making a few moves first, I will tell you the position of the chess piece, but this chess piece..."

There were no usable stones in the cave, so Ranran thought about it and raised his hand to hand Su Yishui a shoe he had taken off in the morning.

Who says we must use people? Isn't it the same to use things? As long as there are chess pieces on the chessboard, it's fine.

But as soon as the shoe landed on the chessboard, it suddenly burned up, leaving nothing behind.

The human-faced flea laughed strangely: "This chessboard is made of evil spirits. If someone with insufficient cultivation enters it, he will turn into ashes. What do you think? If you can't win, just admit defeat. I will suck you up nicely and keep your leather mattress!"

At this moment, Gao Cang rushed over and said, "Master, let me do it. Where should I stand?"

After he asked this, Su Yishui also looked at Ran Ran, but Ran Ran did not dare to give advice easily. This chessboard is too weird. What if the eldest senior brother goes down and turns into ashes? And as the third senior sister said, they are limited in number. Even if Mu Ranwu and his group are added, they can't hold on for too long. Once there are no chess pieces available, won't it be considered a loss?

But now he could only delay it. Gao Cang had seen his master play chess before, so he at least knew the tricks of the first three moves.

So he jumped off the chessboard first and landed on the left side of the flea.

At this moment, the flea-faced man seemed to think that the game was not exciting enough, and added: "I like fast chess in my life, and I hate procrastination. If each move takes more than half a cup of tea, then the people who fell on the chessboard before will be invaded by evil spirits and turned into fleas! No regrets on your move! No regrets on your move!"

After saying this, it laughed strangely again.

This thing is really not a good thing. Gao Cang didn't tell the rules until he got off the chessboard. Gao Cang, who jumped off the chessboard, was also dumbfounded. In other words, if the master can't win within a few dozen moves, once there is no more moves to make, all the people who jump off the chessboard will become half-human and half-ghost!

How short is half a cup of tea! Seeing that the time was almost up, Qiu Xier became anxious and shouted, "Master, hurry up, I'll jump second!"

At this critical moment, the usually timid Qiu Xier actually rushed to jump second. She didn't want her senior brother to turn into a stink bug!

At this moment, Su Yishui heard Ran Ran's secret voice: "The intersection of the third and fourth lines on the left..."

So Su Yishui followed suit and said it out loud. After Qiu Xier counted, she quickly jumped down. Then people around her shouted, "Qiu Xier, you jumped to the wrong position!"

It turned out that she had miscounted the lines in a hurry and had jumped to Gaocang's side. This move was the same as not making a move at all.

Qiu Xier was also stunned by her own stupidity, and looked at Gao Cang with tears in her eyes. However, Gao Cang took her hand and comforted her: "You don't know how to play chess, so it's normal to make some mistakes."

The human-faced flea was so amused that it burst into laughter: "You useless idiots, just wait to be turned into human skin!"

Just as it was directing another flea to fall into the evil chessboard, a melodious singing voice suddenly rang out from the side. It turned out that Ran Ran was humming a minor tune.

This is really confusing. Even Mu Ranwu sneered and mocked: "Xue Ranran, are you also scared silly? Do you think that you can disturb people playing chess by singing?"

Ran Ran seemed not to hear the ridicule, and continued to sing, and her voice became louder and louder. Perhaps even Master Su Yishui did not remember that the song she was humming was heard in the secret cave of Tianmai Mountain.

She was able to subdue Zhuque with this melodious and gentle song. According to Shen Kuang, this human-faced flea was once a good friend of the great shield sky and also loved Rong Yao.

So Ran Ran was at his wit's end and was prepared to test it with Rong Yao's song to see how the human-faced flea would react.

The man-faced flea who was about to make a move suddenly raised his head, his expression becoming dazed and excited.

If it hadn't been for Mu Ranwu's taunting reminder, it would have almost missed the time to put down the chess piece. So when it put down the chess piece, it immediately asked impatiently: "You...how can you sing this song? Shut up! Stop singing!"

How could Ranran care about him? Its agitated look was exactly what Ranran wanted, so she jumped in third without any warning.

Su Yishui did not expect that she would jump down without hesitation. When he wanted to reach out and pull her, it was too late.

He slowly covered his chest with his hands, and felt his heart skip a beat, as if it had stopped. What kind of spell had this little witch cast on him? He actually had the illusion that his chest was about to explode.

But the singing became louder and louder.

The face of the human-faced flea was completely distorted, and he looked dazed and confused, as if he was trying his best to endure something, and reluctantly put down another flea.

This time, Su Yishui jumped down and landed next to Ranran.

Ran Ran didn't expect that he would jump down as well. He was a chess player, so how could he fall off the chessboard and become a chess piece?

But Su Yishui whispered, "Focus more and don't stop singing!"

Ranran quickly calmed her mind and continued singing, but her hand couldn't help but hold the big hand beside her.

She didn't know if she could get out of this fatal chess formation, but before she died, she must hold his hand tightly...

The big hand she held hesitated for a moment, then slowly tightened its grip on hers. Ran Ran calmed down and continued to hum calmly.

Just as the human-faced flea put down the chess piece in a slightly impatient manner, Bai Baishan pulled the dazed Shen Kuang and said, "I have been down the mountain for several months. My cultivation is not as good as yours. If I play chess, I am afraid I can't withstand the evil spirit. You go next!"

As the saying goes, there is an order of seniority, and they, the apprentices, will take the lead first, and then let the uncles and others take the lead. When there is no one left, they can only leave it to fate.

However, Bai Baishan's cultivation level is the lowest now and he can't catch up with Qiu Xier, so he let Shen Kuang jump first.

After Shen Kuo was stunned for a moment, he followed his senior brother's instructions and jumped down.

Ran Ran's singing never stopped. At first, the big flea frowned and endured it, trying to concentrate on playing chess.

But the girl's singing voice was so similar to Rong Yao's! Even the vibrato at the end of the song was exactly the same. When I looked up again in a trance, I saw Rong Yao in the past, dressed in pink, smiling sweetly...

It was a pity that Duntian was only interested in seeking the truth, but ended up causing her to lose her soul. If she had chosen him back then, even if he became a demon, he would never allow anyone to hurt her in the slightest!

Thinking of the uncontrollable anger, and seeing the girl's hand holding the man beside her, I was suddenly reminded of the moment when I lost my love.

At that time, she also left without looking back, holding Duntian's hand... When he placed the chess piece again, he couldn't help but delay and even exceeded the specified time.

In an instant, all the fleas on the big chessboard screamed and turned into ashes.

At this time, most of the people in Xishan stood on the chessboard, and even Baibaishan, who was not very skilled, was the last to leave the field. In other words, they were almost out of moves and had to admit defeat and die.

But now, the human-faced flea violated the rules he set and won the game automatically. The evil spirit in the entire evil array gradually dissipated, the big chessboard also turned into nothingness, and people felt that the oppressive and solidified air seemed to dissolve.

Just when the formation was about to break, the human-faced flea suddenly jumped in front of Ran Ran, stared at her in a daze and said, "Who are you? Why are you singing Rong Yao's song? Could it be... you are her?"

He wanted to ask more, but the evil spirit had dissipated, and his form could not be maintained for too long. When the gate to the battlefield opened, the demon fleas in the battlefield had disappeared without a trace, and only the painful screams of the demons could still be vaguely heard in his ears: "Rong Yao, why did you choose him and not me..."

When they stepped onto the slightly hot ground again, the Five Evils Formation was already behind them.

Ranran let out a long breath, feeling a little melancholy in her heart. The despair in the monster's slightly crazy eyes was unbearable to watch. If there was any other way, she didn't want to sing the song of his lover and bring up his painful memories.

The word "love" in this world can really turn people into demons. She couldn't help but look at Su Yishui. She was confused about what would happen between her and him in the future. It was okay if he didn't remember her. In that case, when her true energy was exhausted, would he accept it calmly instead of exchanging half of his life for her like in his previous life?

As she thought about it, Ran Ran felt a little sad for some reason. But then she realized that she had been holding Su Yishui's big hand...

Of course, Qiu Xier also held Gao Cang's hand tightly and went out of the battle.

Just looking at it like this was even more embarrassing. Qiu Xier quickly let go of her senior brother's hand, and at the same time, she glanced at Ran Ran holding her master's hand.

What's going on? Has the master been possessed by a spirit again? Why is he dragging Junior Sister down like this?

Ran Ran also wanted to let go, but Su Yishui didn't seem to have the intention to let go. Instead, he pulled her over and said in a sharp voice: "Don't be so self-willed next time. Why did you jump down without saying anything? Don't you know that the chessboard is a condensation of evil spirits and is extremely dangerous? How about it, do you feel uncomfortable?"

Before Ran Ran could answer, Qiu Xier muttered quietly, "Master, it was obviously Senior Brother who jumped first. Do you want to pay attention to Senior Brother first?"

Gao Cang was completely stunned and didn't notice the ambiguity between his master and his little sister. He patted his chest and said to Su Yishui, "For my master, I will go through fire and water. It's okay. I'm in good health!"

After the couple's jokes, Su Yishui slowly let go of Ranran's hand, but his eyes were still staring coldly at the self-willed girl.

Ran Ran had no choice but to take advantage of the time when his fellow apprentices were discussing the situations of the other people in the formation and whispered, "Okay, I was wrong. I will definitely listen to Master's orders next time... But Senior Brother Yue Sheng hasn't come out of the west gate yet. I don't know how he is doing..."

At this time, Mu Ranwu also came out of the maze.

She was also confused by Xue Ranran's method of breaking the formation just now. How could Xue Ranran break the formation just by moving his mouth and singing a song?

In her previous life, every time she practiced meditation, she was always far behind her elder sister. The master favored her elder sister. If her elder sister had gained enlightenment, he would not explain more and would only let her sister teach her in return.

And now, watching Xue Ranran break through the formation so easily, the feeling of frustration that he could not catch up no matter how hard he tried came over him again.

When she died together with her sister with the life-changing ancient jade she had obtained by chance, she stuffed the ancient jade engraved with her and her sister's names into her sister's hand. At that time, she clearly saw her sister looking at the ancient jade in surprise, then she smiled with relief and held it in her hand.

Mu Qingge knew clearly what it was, but he was calm and didn't care at all.

Mu Ranwu recalled the information she had sent someone to inquire about in Juefeng Village, saying that when Xue Ranran was born, she had a mark on her hand that looked like the character "Ran", so the carpenter couple named her "Ranran". Now that she thought about it, the birthmark was the character "Ran" imprinted on the ancient jade.

This is also the proof that she, as the younger sister, deliberately stole her sister's luck and cultivation.

But this reborn girl still lives so comfortably, not caring at all that her talents and skills have been stolen by others, and at the same time she easily wins the love of those around her.

This carefree attitude of spending all his money and making it back again did not make the thief Mu Ranwu feel any joy at all, but rather inexplicable inferiority and regret.

Because Mu Ranwu finally realized that no matter whether the pretty figure in front of her was Mu Qingge or Xue Ranran, she could never catch up with them...
