Brother Xie, he is too popular. What should I do?

Ling Jiaojiao performed a magic gesture and washed the spiritual fruit with water.

He took out another handkerchief and wiped the spiritual fruit.

Finally, I ate it with great care.

These spiritual fruits were given to Xie Yunhe by Ling Jiaojiao when she visited him before.

Unexpectedly, Xie Yunhe kept it and did not eat or sell it.

A few days ago, when Xie Yunhe suddenly took out this basket of spiritual fruits, Ling Jiaojiao was really shocked.

Only she herself knows what she feels exactly.

"This was originally given to me by Senior Sister Ling. There's nothing to thank me for."

It was when Xie Yunhe saw Ling Jiaojiao's pale and weak appearance that he remembered that he had kept the spiritual fruit given to him by Senior Sister Ling in his storage bag.

He still remembered Senior Brother Mei's evaluation of these spiritual fruits.

What about the Glazed Fruit that costs thousands of spirit stones, the Jade Sea Fruit that costs three thousand spirit stones each, and the Purple Yao Fairy Peach that only bears fruit every thirty years...

After he knew the value of these spiritual fruits, he collected them all and planned to return them to Senior Sister Ling when he had time.

I didn't expect this matter to have been delayed until now.

But isn’t this just right now? Senior Sister Ling is injured and just needs some spiritual fruits to replenish her body.

and……

Thinking of the big plot that might happen later, Xie Yunhe frowned.

If that plot hadn't been dropped by the butterfly.

The best way to deal with these valuable spiritual fruits is to eat them as soon as possible, otherwise they will likely be wasted.

So these days, Xie Yunhe has been urging Senior Sister Ling to eat the spiritual fruit and let her recuperate at the same time.

"Fellow Daoist Ling, are you feeling better?"

Hearing the grunting sounds Ling Jiaojiao made while eating the spiritual fruit, Chen Qixing spoke gently.

Ling Jiaojiao is a female cultivator after all, and also Yun He's trusted senior sister. Unfortunately, she failed to advance to a higher realm, so she really needs to take good care of her body.

But this doesn't mean that Chen Qixing has no opinion about her.

Eating spiritual fruits is fine, but what does it mean to deliberately eat them in front of him every time?

Did she want a blind man like him to feel the joy she felt when eating the spiritual fruit?

"Hey, maybe I need to recuperate for a while."

Ling Jiaojiao spoke with a little guilt.

One spiritual fruit a day, and they are all high-level spiritual fruits.

Even a pig can be fattened up, let alone this minor injury of failing to get promoted.

She had a very strong physique to begin with, and with the spiritual fruit to assist in her treatment, as well as her physical and mental well-being, her health improved even faster than she had imagined.

Ling Jiaojiao's body has almost recovered.

But, cough cough...

It feels so good to be taken care of by Junior Brother Xie.

She couldn't help but be sick for a day or two longer.

So when Chen Qixing asked about it, he couldn't help feeling a little guilty.

Chen Qixing didn't say anything, just sneered softly.

He had already seen that the other party was almost fully recovered.

When Ling Jiaojiao failed to advance before, Chen Qixing took a look at her and found that the water and fire auras in her body were indeed very disordered. The balance between the two mutually restraining attributes was broken, and the fire aura had the upper hand.

Chen Qixing guessed that Ling Jiaojiao still needed to find some water-related treasures in order to be promoted successfully.

After resting for a few days, the balance in her body has been restored, so she should be fine.

But Ling Jiaojiao still looked pale and weak, and Chen Qixing knew that she was probably pretending.

He was too lazy to say it out loud, as the other party wouldn't be able to pretend for many days anyway.

Xie Yunhe didn't know what his two good teammates were thinking.

He reminded the two of them to grab his sleeves and prepared to push open the iron gate.

"Squeak-"

The iron door made the familiar sound of opening as always.

It was still pitch black behind the door.

But this is the scene that can be seen behind every iron door.

The three of them had gone from being surprised at first to being used to it.

This iron gate looked just like the ones they had entered before.

The three of them stepped through the iron gate, passed through the dark barrier, and arrived at a new place.

After a brief period of darkness, the scene before my eyes suddenly lit up.

This is a bit too bright. Xie Yunhe couldn't help but cover his eyes with his hands.

Xie Yunhe and the other two were in a dim cave before, and they couldn't adapt to such a bright environment all of a sudden.

Where are they going?

Could it be another place like the grassland?

The scenes inside the stone chamber may be caves, grasslands, forests, houses, etc.

Xie Yunhe once curiously asked Senior Sister Ling, are the things in these scenes real?

Ling Jiaojiao said that some of these were true and some were false.

The monsters and plants are real, but part of the scene is fake.

For example, the scene where Xie Yunhe and his companions encountered the Cloud Tiger King was a grassland, and there was a sun in the sky above the grassland that looked real and fake.

That should be a fake sun created by humans using illusion, combined with the widened interior of the stone chamber, it created an extremely realistic grassland.

So, did the three of them come to the grassland again?

Xie Yunhe waited until he had adapted to the brightness before moving his hand away.

After seeing the scene in front of him clearly, his eyes widened.

This is a place like a fairyland.

The sun is warm, there are springs and waterfalls, and green grass and trees.

The three of them were standing on a cloud.

Yes, above a cloud!

No wonder he felt it was dazzling, as the three of them were not far from the sun at this moment.

The fairyland-like environment is actually at their feet.

And this cloud continued to fly forward, no one knew where it would take them.

Xie Yunhe realized that they had entered the big plot of that secret realm.

"What's going on? Are you Junior Brother Xie?"

A strange voice came from beside Xie Yunhe.

The voice is very neutral, ordinary, and it is difficult to tell whether it is male or female.

Xie Yunhe looked at the two people beside him.

At this time, the two people beside him were no longer dressed as the girl in red and the young man in green.

Instead, they were two monks wearing conical hats and black robes.

The voice came from the man in black on Xie Yunhe's left.

Xie Yunhe recalled that Senior Sister Ling was on his left.

"Is that Senior Sister Ling? I'm Junior Brother Xie. The one on the right should be Seven Stars, right?"

Xie Yunhe revealed his identity and asked the man in black on his right.

The first person to answer was the man in black with a bamboo hat on Xie Yunhe's left:

"It's me, Junior Brother Xie... What's going on? Why are you dressed like this?"

Ling Jiaojiao asked hesitantly.

After passing through the iron gate, the sunlight was dazzling, and Ling Jiaojiao also covered her eyes, but as soon as she opened her eyes, she found that there were two people dressed very unfamiliarly beside her.

She was secretly alert in her heart, but Ling Jiaojiao's guard was dispelled as soon as that person spoke.

This familiar feeling, this is Brother Xie!

The man in black with a bamboo hat on Xie Yunhe's right also spoke:

"What happened? Are you Yunhe and Ling Daoyou? Why are your voices..."

Chen Qixing was the most confused person in the whole place. In his opinion, he was just walking through an iron door in an ordinary way.

Unexpectedly, a stranger's voice sounded beside me.

Could it be that the iron gate separated the three of them?

Chen Qixing couldn't help but guess in his heart.

When he heard the familiar tone, he finally felt relieved.

It seems that there are two familiar teammates beside him.

So what is the situation now?

Xie Yunhe looked down at himself and found that he was still dressed as before, with the blue Tianjian Sect inner disciple uniform on the outside.

But from the perspective of the two people next to him, he should also be wearing a conical hat and black clothes.

"Xie Junior Brother, do you think I'm also dressed in a black hat?"

Ling Jiaojiao had come to her senses a little and asked Xie Yunhe.

"Yes, Senior Sister Ling, not only your appearance, but also your body shape, height and voice are the same."

Xie Yunhe told what he saw now.

After a brief discussion, the three of them knew what was happening.

"This should be the effect of some kind of illusion, disguising everyone except myself."

Ling Jiaojiao summarized the current situation.

When the three of them look at each other, they will find that except for themselves, the other two people are dressed exactly the same, making it impossible to tell who is who.

"But there is a little difference."

Xie Yunhe pointed to the number behind Ling Jiaojiao in black clothes - ninety-eight.

Since they couldn't see their own numbers, the three of them checked with each other and found that their numbers were as follows:

Ling Jiaojiao, number ninety-eight.

Chen Qixing, number ninety-nine.

Xie Yunhe, number 100.

The number is marked on the back of the shirt.

"Have we entered a special stone chamber? Does this chamber require disguised human physical features?"

Chen Qixing began to analyze based on the current situation.

He made everyone except himself dress uniformly, have uniform voice characteristics, and wear uniform hats to cover their faces.

This is intended to make it impossible for anyone involved in the stone chamber to distinguish who is who.

At this time, the three of them were still on the clouds, continuing to fly forward.

Gradually, they could see that there was not only one cloud but also other similar clouds floating over.

There are three, two or one people in black clothes and wearing conical hats on the clouds.

It seems that there are more monks coming to this special stone chamber than just these three.

"At least a hundred people."

Ling Jiaojiao spoke solemnly.

This was inferred based on the numbers on the three of them.

The sun is shining, white clouds are floating, the weather is clear, and the mountains in the distance are shrouded in mist, creating a fairyland-like scene.

The three people standing on the clouds did not feel relaxed. It was like the calm before the storm.

Before the storm comes, no one knows what level of storm they will encounter.

The target of all the clouds is one place, which is a huge platform floating in the air.

From a distance, it looks like a square shape, and you can vaguely see the crisscrossing lines from the platform.

The platform looks a bit like a... chessboard?

The cloud landed on the platform and disappeared, and the three of them stepped onto the platform.

Xie Yunhe looked around and saw that there were many people dressed in black and wearing similar hats around them.

These men in black clothes and conical hats should also be monks who were sucked into this special stone chamber. Many monks were carefully observing the surrounding environment.

There were also some monks talking to each other and exchanging information.

This square platform seemed to have boundaries when viewed from a distance, but when they stepped on it, they found that it was ridiculously large and the boundaries were not visible at all.

There are more people here than Senior Sister Ling initially estimated, nearly two hundred people.

The three of them did not dare to separate too far and held each other's sleeves.

He was worried that his teammates would accidentally join the team of the man in the black hat, and it would be difficult to find them.

"Look over there."

Ling Jiaojiao tugged at Xie Yunhe's sleeve.

Xie Yunhe looked up and saw that the place directly opposite them, which had been shrouded in white fog, was now revealed.

Another group of people appeared... in white clothes and bamboo hats?

In contrast to the men in black clothes and conical hats on Xie Yunhe's side, the monks over there were dressed similarly, the only difference was that the black clothes were replaced by white clothes.

The number of people is also close to two hundred.

As a result, there were almost three hundred to four hundred people on the field.

What is this for?

"Everyone is here? Then let's get started."

A lively and lovely child's voice came from the sky.

Just like a little boy of seven or eight years old, his tone was filled with the innocence and playfulness that are unique to children.

With his voice, the entire platform shook.

Xie Yunhe felt as if his feet were hooked by something and he was thrown to a place all of a sudden.

The feeling is a bit similar to the feeling of space transformation when you first enter the secret realm.

Looking closely, I found that I was already standing in the middle of the platform.

He was currently in the middle of a square grid that was five meters long and wide.

Ling Jiaojiao and Chen Qixing were no longer around.

I guess it was teleported to some other place.

The situation of the squares connected to it in front, behind, left and right is similar, with a monk standing in each square.

Xie Yunhe tried to lift his foot, wanting to leave the square.

I found myself unable to move at all, as if I was welded to the ground.

An invisible force bound him, preventing him from moving or speaking.

Any monk who comes here would probably be frightened by this scene.

After all, I was out of control all of a sudden and couldn't even leave this damn place.

But Xie Yunhe was very calm, obviously prepared for this situation.

It seems that even if the plot was lost a little by his butterfly, the necessary plot will still be there.

This is the story of Qin Yu’s inheritance in the secret realm.

The essence of this inheritance plot is not complicated, it is very simple.

The essence is still fighting, that is, a ring match.

As for the child's voice, it should be the spirit of the legendary Gulan Secret Realm.

Sure enough, the sound came from the sky again.

"Hehe! This is the Tianxia Chess Game. Anyone who comes in has to play chess with me!"

Although he is a spirit who has lived for who knows how long, his voice sounds as innocent and cute as a child.

"There are a total of... three hundred and fifty-eight, three hundred and fifty-nine, three hundred and sixty... a total of three hundred and sixty chess pieces!"

Jing Ling counted carefully and figured out the number of monks present.

Are you going to use them as chess pieces to play Go?

A quick-witted monk thought so.

The monks with superb chess skills were secretly happy, as this was their opportunity.

I didn’t expect to encounter this in the Gulan Secret Realm!

Time has come and the opportunity has arrived!

"The rules of chess are... the rules are..."

"Oh, I suddenly realized that I don't know how to play chess. I only know Gomoku, and that has way too many pieces... Oh, what should I do..."

A voice in the sky sighed in distress.

"Then have a fight. Whoever wins gets to stay and be a chess piece, and the loser has to leave the secret realm!"

Jing Ling felt that he was really smart!

They figured out a solution so quickly!

There are too many chess pieces, so why not just move some of them off the board?

whee!
