Because the stone with the mark was not seen again. They indeed kept walking forward, but the valley seemed a bit too big. They walked for a long time before finally seeing the foot of the mountain.

"Should we go around the foot of the mountain and walk out, or should we go up the mountain?" She was a little uncertain about the setting up of this formation and its purpose. Generally speaking, they must go around the foot of the mountain and walk out. But , what if it does the opposite.

Han Wuying thought, "Maybe they also thought that we would think so, so they deliberately set it up like this. Let us take more detours, why not go around the foot of the mountain." The two of them disagreed, and Shen Lian was thinking. , Han Wuying could think of this, but the person who set up the formation might not have thought of it. Maybe, he deliberately led them in the wrong direction.

So, she was thinking, let's go up the mountain.

The two people had different opinions and thoughts, so they were deadlocked there. They couldn't just walk up the mountain while the other walked out around the foot of the mountain. In this way, they might get separated. In this kind of place, with the strange formation, they still couldn't It's better not to separate. Otherwise, once they are separated, they will be in danger, which will be bad.

So, the two of them continued to walk forward, and finally they made a decision. They would go up the mountain first. If the road was blocked, they would then return to the same place and walk around the foot of the mountain. Try both methods, and maybe there would be a solution. It worked. So, the two of them walked both roads. Finally, they walked around the foot of the mountain before arriving at the next place.

At this moment, what appeared in front of them was a solemn and grand villa. However, there was no plaque in front of the gate of the villa, and they didn't know what kind of villa it was. However, after they looked at each other, they decided to go in and take a look. Maybe. , could they find other people or things. Just like that, they walked in.

They walked for a long time in the villa and finally saw the living room. So they walked in and saw a person in the living room.

Yes, they saw a living person. This was the first time they saw a living person here. Shen Lian and Han Wuying became a little excited and walked towards the person. When they came closer, they I found that he was an old man with white hair and beard. However, he was sitting there with his body straight and not bent at all. It seemed that his body was quite strong.

Shen Lian asked, "Hello, senior, are you the owner of this villa?" After all, they saw no one else in the villa. He was the only one sitting here, so he must be the owner of this villa.

Han Wuying stood next to her, guarding her. As soon as the old man made any move, he would immediately unsheath his sword and protect Ying'er. The old man seemed not to see the sword in Han Wuying's hand. He still looked at them with a kind face and kind eyes. Hearing Shen Lian's inquiry, he also spoke, "Yes, I am the owner of this villa."

Sure enough, it was him. Shen Lian glanced at Han Wuying and continued, "Then, you must know how to get out? We have stayed in this formation for too long and want to get out. Can you give us some advice? One or two?”

The old man stood up and walked to the other side without saying a word. After a while, he came back again, holding a chessboard in his hand. He put the chessboard on the table and looked at them, "If you want to get out, Okay, you can play a game of chess with me, and if you win, you can get out." In other words, if you lose, you can only continue to play, otherwise you won't be able to get out.

That's what he meant, Shen Lian thought. Han Wuying came first, "I'll do it..." He asked himself, he was good at chess, so he came to try it first. Naturally, he lost. .Moreover, he lost quickly. Shen Lian was on the side and didn't even react. He didn't see the clue, so he lost. Han Wuying refused to admit defeat, so he tried again.

During the chess game, he glanced at her and blinked. Shen Lian then realized that he had tried to play chess several times just to let her see clearly. To let her see clearly, the old man's chess path was How about it? Only when you know yourself and your enemy can you win every battle. So, in the subsequent chess games, Han Wuying lost one game after another.

Shen Lian was on the side, watching without blinking. She was studying the old man's chess moves. After she figured out everything, Han Wuying lost another game. The old man put down the chess pieces, stroked his beard and said, " The girl is on the side. I have been watching it for a long time, and now I know it well. Why don’t you play the next game with the girl instead?"

She also had this intention, so it was Shen Lian who came to play chess with the old man. Han Wuying stood aside and continued to watch, studying something silently. But Shen Lian, every move was considered. She did not Not in a hurry, just rushing forward, but playing chess slowly, even thinking about another move before playing. In other words, how to make the next move.

She has considered every move she makes and is not in a hurry. This game of chess does not mean you can win if you are fast. On the contrary, you need to think about it again and again. As long as you win in the end, it will be fine. Even this move , she didn’t care if she lost. There was just one more game, so when they were playing chess, time passed slowly, faster than they imagined.

After an unknown amount of time, they finally defeated the old man, so the old man kept his promise and showed them how to get out. This time, they really came out, and at this moment, they were standing outside the town.

There were no woods there anymore, and it was exactly the same as the way he came. As soon as Shen Lian saw the familiar scenery, he felt completely at ease. "It seems that we have come out of this formation. When we came to the town, it was indeed This is the road we took, there are no woods." She looked around and looked again to confirm that it was indeed correct.

Han Wuying also thought this way, with a smile on his face. Great, they finally came out. But, who set up that strange formation. And why was it set up here to trap them? The test failed. Now, it seems that it has disappeared without a trace, and no trace of that formation can be found anymore.

Shen Lian said, "Maybe only those who are destined to see that formation and enter it. Ordinary people should not be able to enter, so others don't know."

"Anyway, as long as we get out, do you want to eat now? Why don't we go back to the town, go to the inn, and have a meal before leaving." Anyway, the closest things to here are the town and the inn. .I don’t know how far it will be on the road behind before I can see an inn or restaurant again. Shen Lian nodded, and they returned to the town together.

However, when they came to the door of the inn, they saw a waiter with a strange face. Hey, how long has this inn been? There has been a new waiter. Where did the original waiter go? The shopkeeper Why did she need to change the waiter? She remembered that the waiter was quite good. When they walked in, the new waiter immediately came up to welcome them to sit down.

"Where's your shopkeeper?"

When the waiter heard this, he smiled and said: "Shopkeeper, he is a little older, his legs and feet are not very agile, and he is resting in the back. Therefore, the younger one is responsible for everything here. Guest sir , just tell us what you want to eat, and let the chef cook it in the small kitchen."

The shopkeeper is a bit older and his legs and feet are not feeling well. Shen Lian is thinking, she remembers that the shopkeeper is indeed quite old, but he has a strong body and does not feel uneasy when walking. But, They were trapped in the formation for a day at most. The shopkeeper was out of sorts, and the waiter had also changed. It was so strange.

Just as they were talking, the shopkeeper came out. As soon as he saw the clothes, Shen Lian recognized it. "Shopkeeper, we are here again, do you welcome us?"

When he heard her greeting him, the shopkeeper looked over. However, he couldn't see clearly, and he vaguely felt that the girl looked familiar. So, he got closer and took a closer look before recognizing her. "It turns out to be Miss Ding. Ah, you are here again. This time you come to our town, but you have to stay for two more days. Thanks to your generous help for what happened a few years ago, our town has become much more stable in the past few years."

How many years have it been since? Shen Lian asked unclearly, "We were only away for one day, two days at most, how come it turned into several years?" They were trapped in the formation. Although they didn't know how long, but according to her guess, at most It won't be more than two days. After all, she is just a little hungry, not very hungry. How come it has turned into several years?

When the shopkeeper heard this, he was also surprised, "No, Miss Ding, you and Shaoxia Han have been away for three years. Look at the little old man, the waiter has been replaced, and the little old man's legs and feet are not very good. It's so neat. It's not two days, it's three years. Even if it's missing, it can't be missing two days." Three years, three years later, Shen Lian looked at Han Wuying in shock.

How could it be three years? He had obviously been in the formation for not long. Han Wuying was also extremely surprised and didn't speak for a long time. They were silent for a moment, and Shen Lian carefully confirmed again, "Shopkeeper, are you sure? It’s been three years since we last left?”

"Yes, it's not wrong, but the clothes you are wearing are exactly the same as when you left. It has been three years, and you haven't changed out of these clothes. In other words, you haven't thrown them away yet."

The shopkeeper's words were clear, but it was really hard to believe that this was true. Could it be that they had been trapped in the formation for three years? How could this be possible? They had starved to death for three years without eating or drinking. But, she I don't feel anything else at all except that I'm a little hungry now. No, the shopkeeper can't do what he says.

She had to ask a few more people, so she didn't bother to eat. Shen Lian took Han Wuying's hand and ran outside. They came to the street and asked others. However, after asking several people, the answer was only One. That is, it has been three years since that incident, that man in black. As the shopkeeper said, three years have passed.

There was also someone who recognized them, and when they met they said in surprise, "Two heroes, I haven't seen each other for three years. How are you?" It's been three years again, and it seems that they said the same thing, and that's right.
