"It's a burial place for bones, and it has a stone monument, so I guess it's not too far away."

Ai Xiaozhou nodded thoughtfully, obviously agreeing with Chu Yunqing's point of view.

"Does Gang Leader Chu want to see the bones of seniors?" Luo Qianqian asked in surprise: "Isn't this too disrespectful?"

"If the bones are really buried, wouldn't it prove the authenticity of this soul-nurturing formation?" Chu Yunqing said: "And the bones of the seniors who have transcended the tribulation and ascended to the throne should be different from ordinary people."

Luo Qianqian said quickly: "But he is a senior after all, and his soul is still alive. Digging up his bones is not a human son!"

Chu Yunqing couldn't help but look at her one more time.

"Why are you looking at me like this?" Luo Qianqian's heart was pounding.

"You know a lot of words." Chu Yunqing stood up and stopped worrying about digging up bones.

He was just slightly curious, but he wouldn't really dig up any dead people's bones.

On the other hand, Ai Xiaozhou walked a few steps next to the stone, and then kicked the stone over with Luo Qianqian's exclamation.

"What are you doing?!" Xie Lingzheng looked over suddenly.

This young man had been a little distracted, so he entered the cave and seemed like a normal person. At this time, his voice was urgent and startled, which immediately startled Lu Shaoqing and others.

Ai Xiaozhou said calmly: "It's just a piece of broken stone, what are you talking about?"

"I..." Xie Lingzheng gritted his teeth.

"This is a monument after all." Ke Fang whispered.

The stone was overturned, and the bottom was extremely wet, with mud and moss green.

On the side, Chu Yunqing and Ai Xiaozhou seemed to have a clear understanding of each other, and their eyes met for an instant.

Opposite them were Luo Qianqian with her eyes slightly lowered, and Xie Lingzheng with a gloomy expression.

They both seem to feel something for each other, but no one has broken the barrier between them.

At this moment, Lu Shaoqing, who was standing in front of the stone wall, was suddenly stunned.

He was looking in the direction of the pool in front of him, or rather the pool of water surging in the mountain spring. He didn't know what he saw, but his anxious and even impatient eyes suddenly brightened.

He almost used Qinggong and hurriedly stepped on the water to the center of the pool, where the gurgling mountain spring water was.

"Senior Brother Lu?" Wen Ting called, a little confused.

Chu Yunqing and others also looked over.

Lu Shaoqing stood in the water. The water was up to his knees. He half-bent, looked down, and then put his hand into the water, as if he had caught something.

His face was a little red, and there were some blue veins on his forehead. In everyone's surprised eyes, with the sound of clattering iron chains, he actually pulled a chessboard out of the water!

It's just like the stone-carved chessboard placed on the stone table in the garden pavilion, except that this chessboard is covered with moss and rust, and is pulled by iron chains, with supporting stone pillars and bases underneath.

The height is almost at the waist level.

"What is this?" Ke Fang asked in surprise: "Is it the mechanism of the formation?"

Lu Shaoqing's face was excited, but fortunately he did not lose his reason.

But before he could make any move, Luo Qianqian said in surprise: "Look!"

When everyone heard the words and looked around, they saw the light and shadow of a somewhat fluctuating chessboard appearing on the stone wall in front of them like a projection.

Lu Shaoqing looked up and then looked down at the chessboard, unable to conceal his surprise.

"Because of the light illuminated by night pearls and some method of using the water surface to image." Ai Xiaozhou judged as he looked at the clear and sparkling water surface.

"So what does this mean, playing chess?" Luo Qianqian asked doubtfully.

They noticed that there was a white stone and a black stone on both sides of the chessboard, which were embedded in the chessboard like other chess pieces.

Lu Shaoqing subconsciously wanted to dunk it.

"Don't move!" Zhi Honghu shouted.

Lu Shaoqing almost touched the chess piece with his finger, and trembled suddenly when he heard this.

"It's not me!" He quickly took a few steps back. When he looked at the chessboard, a bit of panic appeared on his face, "I didn't want to move!"

Everyone's hearts sank.

"Senior Brother Lu, what do you mean?" Wen Ting asked.

Lu Shaoqing was a little flustered, "I didn't want to move the chess piece, my hands didn't obey me."

"Wait, what is that?" Ke Fang suddenly pointed to the base of the chessboard.

Lu Shaoqing subconsciously looked down, his expression suddenly changed, and he used Qinggong to jump out of the pool without thinking.

"No, it's miasma!" Xie Lingzheng covered his mouth and nose.

The turquoise mist escaped from the bottom of the chessboard into the water, and then the water surface was dyed with a layer of faint green. The mist surfaced and began to fill the cave.

"Let's go!" Chu Yunqing said nothing and was about to return the way he came.

"No, it's already here!" Luo Qianqian shouted.

This sound immediately stopped Lu Shaoqing and Zhi Honghu, who were also thinking of retreating. There was also a look of struggle in their eyes.

Boom!

"What sound?" Wen Ting was stunned.

Chu Yunqing's expression changed. He ran the most decisively, so he saw the gate falling suddenly in front of him.

With Fei Yunzong's lightness skills at this time, he could get out, but for some reason, his steps slowed down and he watched helplessly as the stone door fell, crushing the stones on both sides and cutting off the water flow.

And this mechanism is really vicious. The gate is more than ten feet away from the water pool, and the momentum of falling is like a huge force. Unless there is someone like him who possesses superb Qinggong and is determined to retreat as soon as the poisonous miasma appears, Otherwise, it will be too late to run away if you try too late.

Chu Yunqing's face couldn't help but look a little gloomy, and he walked back to the edge of the pool.

"It's the Broken Dragon Gate, the road is blocked," he said.

Ai Xiaozhou pursed his lips and walked forward, "I'm sorry, I just..."

She was very apologetic. Previously, she had been thinking about the opportunity to raise the soul. She even thought that the chessboard was a mechanism to guide the place, but she did not expect that what appeared was a poisonous miasma.

When Chu Yunqing subconsciously said hello, she had not yet recovered. The most important thing was actually her own unwillingness and greed.

Ai Xiaozhou couldn't help but blame himself.

Chu Yunqing shook his head, "I should have held you."

He couldn't explain why he didn't leave just now even though he could.

Luo Qianqian glanced at him inexplicably.

Xie Lingzheng frowned and said: "Since it is the Broken Dragon Gate, I think it is really going to cut off our retreat."

The miasma had begun to spread, and everyone held their breath, but they did not forget to look around for possible solutions.

"Even if we are not poisoned by the miasma, we will be suffocated to death." Zhi Honghu leaned against the stone wall, not showing the high fighting spirit he had when he first came here to look for opportunities.

"There is no perfect path for everyone." Chu Yunqing said: "Never give up until the end."

Zhi Honghu was stunned for a moment and looked at him in surprise.

Xie Lingzheng also said: "There is always a glimmer of hope in the formation. I will calm down and look for it carefully. Don't panic."

Wen Ting looked miserable, "I don't want to die yet."

Lu Shaoqing's face turned pale, "Be quiet!"

At this time, Ai Xiaozhou looked at the stone wall and said: "If it is just to activate the mechanism of Dragon Breaking Gate, why use this chessboard? And this projection method is too complicated and redundant."

Luo Qianqian's eyes lit up, "Yes, this may also be a trap to be broken!"
