Dusk Returns to the Ruined Building

Playing a chess game is not enough to show wisdom, and plucking a string is not enough to show sorrow.

In a villa in Jianying Holy City, there is a pond, a mountain and a long pavilion. There are three people in the pavilion, one is playing the piano, one is playing chess, and one is gazing into the distance. The piano sounds sad, the chess player is thinking deeply, and the figure is lonely and isolated.

"Have you heard of the two heroes of Qihui Mountain?"

Ji Xuanyan in black lowered her head and played the piano with confused eyes.

The old fortune teller was stunned when he heard this. He had been holding the chess pieces in his hands, floating in the air for a long time. His arms were a little numb, but he still didn't know how to break the deadlock.

"Hidden in order, the chess pieces of the world are hidden; between the mountains and rivers, the game of the world is laid out. Hundreds of years have passed, and I still cannot fulfill my master's long-cherished wish. I am not as good as you!"

The old fortune-teller took back the chess piece in his hand, his expression and tone were somewhat lonely.

"It seems that you have not only heard of them, but also seen them. How much do you know about them?"

Ji Xuanyan in black actually sounded a little lost.

Shen Jinfei, standing alone, was a little dazed. She couldn't understand the chess game, nor could she understand the piano music. It wasn't that she didn't know about the piano and chess, but that she didn't know the meaning hidden behind the chess game and the piano music today.

"In my master's memory, Xuantian Pavilion also has a chess game. The chessboard is called Xingluowangyou, the chess pieces are called Wuluqi, and its owner is called Guiguhou. I'm afraid he is the only one in the world who can defeat you on the chessboard!"

The old fortune teller was still watching the confusing chess game, and he seemed very unwilling to give up.

"The two heroes of Qihui Mountain have been to the Dark Realm. Since you're unwilling to say more, I presume you've been there too, right?"

Ji Xuanyan in black frowned more and more deeply, and she finally felt that she was also in the chess game. This feeling was a little vague and ethereal, but at a certain moment it was so real!

"Marquis Guigu has been missing since before the battle between good and evil a thousand years ago. My master left Xuantian Pavilion to use the art of divine secrets to find him. Marquis Guigu was the master's advisor, and his disappearance was inexplicable and without any warning!"

The old fortune-teller was telling Ji Xuanyan in black that one of his goals in traveling through mountains and rivers for hundreds of years was to find Guigu Hou.

Shen Jinfei shook her head. She couldn't understand what the two of them meant. They seemed to be talking about different things.

"All the secret passages leading to the Dark Realm in this world are guarded and sealed by the Xuantian Sect. Could it be that there are secret passages and seals that the Xuantian Sect doesn't know about?"

Ji Xuanyan in black seemed to be asking, but she was very sure in her heart, because the Snow Chan Mountain of the Ancient Buddha Sect was one of them, and the Xuantian Sect probably didn't know that the Snow Chan Mountain was the seal leading to the Night Realm.

Then the old fortune-teller and the two heroes of Qihui Mountain probably entered and exited the Dark Realm from places like this. However, Ji Xuanyan in black didn't understand, how could they escape unscathed after entering the Dark Realm?

"There's a chess demon in Wulang Academy. If you lose to him one day, that person should be Gui Guhou!"

The old fortune teller still didn't say anything, and his brows were even furrowed.

Shen Jinfei couldn't bear to listen any longer, so she turned around and said:

"Didn't you two say you wanted to find Shen Yichen? Are you going to find him like this?"

Shen Jinfei looked at the old figure of the fortune teller. She herself didn't know why she didn't leave. The fortune teller could no longer restrain her.

The reason Shen Jinfei gave for staying behind to look for Shen Yichen was that the old fortune-teller could find Shen Yichen, but she herself would probably find it difficult to find him. This was also the reality, as the two people really intended to look for Shen Yichen.

"You're looking for Gui Guhou because you want to find the way to Xuantian Pavilion, right? I helped you, but now you have no cultivation at all. How can you return to Xuantian Pavilion?"

Ji Xuanyan in black turned around and looked at the old fortune-teller. For some reason, even though the old fortune-teller's cultivation had dissipated, she still couldn't see through this person.

This is not normal!

And since the fortune-teller had been to the Dark Realm, how could he choose such a bad strategy as dissolving the power of the ghost veins in his body? Since he had been to the Dark Realm, the fortune-teller must have a way to restrain the power of the ghost veins!

"The Xuantian Sect inherited the Xuantian Pavilion, but that wasn't the Xuantian Pavilion after all. Of course, there are many things that the Xuantian Sect doesn't know about. Furthermore, the Xuantian Sect's power is probably far inferior to that of the Xuantian Pavilion back then. Over the past thousand years, the seals on the spirits in this world have gradually become unsustainable!"

The old fortune-teller admitted that there are still many paths to the dark world that the Xuantian Sect does not know about.

However, there is one thing that Ji Xuanyan in black is certain of, that is, these unknown roads must be in a sealed state like Xuechan Mountain, otherwise the Xuantian Sect would not have no reaction at all, because once there is any movement in the Ming Realm, the Xuantian Sect's world star map will react, and the Ji family has indeed never heard of any movement in the Ming Realm.

Ji Xuanyan in black thought of what happened at Xuechan Mountain. It was obvious that someone was trying to break these seals. It was impossible for the Ancient Buddha Sect alone to know these things, nor was it possible for them to have the power to open the seals.

"Could it be that there is a road leading to Xuantian Pavilion in the Dark Realm?"

Ji Xuanyan in black stared at the old fortune-teller, she wanted to know something from his expression.

However, the old fortune teller's expression did not change when he heard this, and his brows were still tightly furrowed.

After a long time, the old fortune-teller turned to look at Ji Xuanyan in black and said softly:

"The ghost vein power in my body comes from Ji Lingtian, the Grand Elder of the Ji family. This ghost vein power is different from the power within the Night Realm. It contains a pure Saint Emperor's true essence and another pure ghost vein true essence. I can't dissolve it because of the existence of these two pure true essences!"

Ji Xuanyan in black was stunned when she heard this. For a moment, she didn't know whether to believe it or not. This statement was really a bit far-fetched!

But at this moment, the fortune teller had no reason to deceive her, and this was the second time the fortune teller mentioned it. If the fortune teller had been to the dark world, then he would definitely be able to dissolve the power of the ghost veins in his body at any time, otherwise he would not have been able to come back alive.

After a long time, Ji Xuanyan in black smiled slightly.

"I promise you, I will help you test the chess demon of Wulang Academy. This person must be extraordinary. The Ji family has never heard of him!"

Ji Xuanyan in black knew that no matter whether she believed it or not, she owed the old fortune-teller a favor, and the fortune-teller's meaning was very clear, that is, to let Ji Xuanyan repay the favor with the news of Gui Guhou!

"I don't know. I went to Wulang Academy but couldn't find this person. I only learned this name from the Dark Realm!"

The old fortune teller finally admitted that he had been to the dark world.

"What's going on with the two heroes of Qihui Mountain? Why are they following Shen Yichen all the time?"

Ji Xuanyan in black sat on the other side of the chessboard. For some reason, she thought of Ji Qingyun at this moment, because so far, the only person who could play chess with her and remain undefeated was Ji Qingyun!

In fact, there is another person, that is Ji Xuanfeng, but Ji Xuanfeng has never been revealed.

"It was the two of them who saved me. To be more precise, it was more like we saved each other. The name of the Two Heroes of Qihui Mountain was given to us by Wan Ning!"

The fortune-teller's answer brought Ji Xuanyan in black back to her senses.

Ji Xuanyan in black really didn't expect that the name of the two heroes of Qihui Mountain would come from Wan Ning's mouth!

"Speak clearly, I want to know everything about them!"

Upon hearing this, the old fortune teller stood up and walked to the railing, looking at the remaining clouds in the distant sky.

"About thirteen years ago, I accidentally entered the Dark Realm. Not only did I fail to find the path to Xuantian Pavilion, I almost died. It was Wan Ning and the other two who saved me. Wan Ning was only three years old at the time, but those two mysterious people obeyed her orders. It seems that the three of them had been in the Dark Realm for a long time. Moreover, the people in the Dark Realm were very afraid of them and did not attack them!"

The old fortune teller paused, as if he didn't want to say anything, but he still spoke!

"The strangest thing is, among the three of them, only Wan Ning had human consciousness. The two men holding a sword and an axe were like mindless puppets. But when the three of them met me, Wan Ning insisted on following me. The consciousness of the other two seemed to have awakened at that moment. It was as if my appearance made them recall something. To this day, I still can't figure out what happened. Perhaps it was the meeting between people that made them realize that they were human, not souls from the night world!"

The old fortune teller looked solemn and his eyes were deep.

Ji Xuanyan in black was holding two chess pieces, one black and one white, and kept fiddling them between her hands. She was thinking deeply and she was doubting.

This is the secret of the old fortune teller, but it is only one side of the story!

"Where did you enter the Dark Realm? And where did you exit the Dark Realm?"

Ji Xuanyan in black had already guessed that the place where the fortune-teller left the Dark Realm was probably Qihui Mountain, but she didn't know where Qihui Mountain was!

The old fortune teller did not respond directly, he seemed to be very conflicted inside.

"Why, it's hard to cover up your lies to me, isn't it?"

Ji Xuanyan in black smiled coldly, pinching the black chess piece between her fingers!

"Return to Longshan! Back then, someone accidentally touched the seal, and I was forced into it. The place where I emerged was Qihui Mountain in Manghuang. The exit was found by those two people. After I emerged, those two people completely regained their own consciousness, but that consciousness was upside down, and it wasn't fake!"

After the fortune-teller finished speaking, he shook his head. More than ten years had passed, and he had never seen the two heroes of Qihui Mountain again. Moreover, during this period, he and Wan Ning had returned to Qihui Mountain in Manghuang, but they did not find the two men.

"Back to Longshan? Thirteen years ago. Hum, should it be almost fourteen years?"

Ji Xuanyan in black turned around and came to the side of the old fortune-teller. She finally heard something that interested her, and that was also the mystery of the Ji family.

Upon hearing this, the old fortune teller sighed inwardly. He really didn't want to say it just now, and even wanted to lie, but it was too difficult to deceive the woman in front of him!

"I don't know what happened in Huilong Mountain back then. I just sensed the fluctuation of the aura and wanted to go to Huilong Mountain to find out what happened, but I accidentally entered the Night Realm!"

The old fortune teller was telling the truth. He really didn't see what happened at Huilong Mountain, nor did he see anyone!

"Hehe, do you think I will be satisfied with this answer?"

Ji Xuanyan in black's tone was full of dissatisfaction and disdain.

"I heard the dragon's wail, and I also sensed its aura. I also sensed the auras of the Xuantian Eight Paths, the Demon Sect, and the Youzhou Murong Clan. Of course, there was also the aura of the Saint Emperor Technique!"

Upon hearing this, Ji Xuanyan in black was shocked and said in a cold voice:

"Impossible! You should know that not just anyone can enter Central Continent!"

"Believe it or not, no one from the Ji family stopped me at that time, which means the Ji family didn't set up defenses outside Huilong Mountain. As for why, I don't know. I entered Zhongzhou from the Ancient Miao Territory. Huilong Mountain is nearby, and the Ancient Miao Territory doesn't have any defenses at the border. Isn't what you said strange?"

After the old fortune teller finished speaking, his expression slowly returned to calm!

After so many years, the old fortune teller had long figured out that a shocking event must have occurred in Huilong Mountain that year, and all the forces in the world were involved. As for what it was, he really didn't know.

"You two are sick. You don't think about the present, but think about the bad things that happened thirteen years ago. Take me to find Shen Yichen!"

Shen Jinfei roared, but she didn't understand and didn't want to listen.

Ji Xuanyan in black and the old fortune-teller looked at the angry Shen Jinfei at the same time and said at the same time:

"Shen Yichen disappeared in Huilong Mountain thirteen years ago!"
