Chapter 182 Danger Was Coming (1/2)
Zhang Yunyan listened to the introduction of Turtle Elf and was puzzled. She couldn’t think of so many mysterious things in the Devil’s Cave. It was both terrifying and strange.
She had realized the truth of some of the previous mysteries, “So, in the Devil’s Cave, the shiny words of fate were written by the master?”
“Yes, Jiuyou Sage and the devils didn’t know any words at all. Facing the words of fate, they could only look at each other with confused faces. They didn’t know what character it was, or what it meant, so how could they engrave so many characters with different handwritings? Besides, this is a kind of work that needs effort, and you would only be paying out. There would be mainly monotonous irritability and no fun. Those devils wouldn’t kill time in other ways except hurting people for fun.”
Yunyan looked thoughtfully, and she said, “I think that those shiny words of fate were by no means written at random, and they must have certain intentions. It’s strange. Why did the master only wrote the words of fate? Why did he have to engrave so much?”
Turtle Elf shook his head and said, “I don’t know. It’s a bit strange. It’s a mystery that can’t be solved.”
Zhang Yunyan sighed. When she came here last time, she thought it was the devils who carved those words. She really overrated these devils who didn’t learn anything.
The person who left the writing was extraordinary. He was not only just a widely-read scholar, but also with profound inner strength and magical skills, which was admirable.
Yunyan couldn’t know which master left those words, and why he engraved so many words of fate with rich emotions.
She sighed with emotion, “Those words of fate are so amazing. They have a touching charm, and they are all different. It is not ordinary.”
Turtle Elf heard this and looked at Yunyan. It felt puzzled, “Is there a touching charm in those words? Why didn’t I feel it?”
Yunyan felt a bit strange, “Why, didn’t you feel it? No way, those words exuded a strong emotion, all of which were heart-touching, and you should have felt it.”
Turtle Elf shook his head. In its eyes, those words of fate were very common. They were just some words written on the rock and there was nothing special about them. It was impossible to have so-called feelings about them.
Zhang Yunyan listened to the words of Turtle Elf and was puzzled again. She felt the strangeness and extraordinariness of those words of fate. She clearly remembered that in the face of those shiny words of fate, she did not only have deep feelings, but also she saw that the words of fate were different, they were both magical and incomprehensible.
Why did those words make her so moved, while Turtle Elf felt nothing? Could they only touch the heart of humans and have no effect on elves?
It seemed that those words of fate must contain many unknown secrets which were hard to guess. These puzzles were too old, and there was really no way to solve them.
The master once lived here, but later no one knew where he went. It seemed that he was also a man who lived in the ancient past and had already passed away. Since he sealed the hole, there must be some secrets that he did not want to let people know inside.
Yunyan secretly sighed. How nice it would be if the master was still here, and he would not let Jiuyou Sage and the devils hurt people here.
Why didn’t the master return to his former residence to have a look? Did he really pass away?
Zhang Yunyan was full of doubts. She had a desire and also a prayer. She hoped that the master was still alive and right in this mysterious cave.
If he was not here, she hoped that he would come back immediately to eradicate these devils, save herself and Turtle Elf in danger, along with the poor man. They won’t be hurt by the devils anymore.
Yunyan sighed silently. It was a person from the ancient past. How could he live to the present? No one could detect the hidden secrets, and it was another mystery that cannot be solved.
Speaking of the person who left these shiny words, Turtle Elf sighed, “I don’t know who the person was, and I don’t know why he had to engrave countless words. He could leave so many mysterious things, so presumably he was a real superior. From all kinds of signs, this person was not only unbelievably powerful in martial arts, but also was a widely-read scholar.”
Zhang Yunyan nodded and agreed with it.
Turtle Elf was very emotional and sighed, “If the master was still living secretly in this hole, he would not let these devils be so arrogant and kill people everywhere. Well, he would not think that after leaving here, the cave would be occupied by a group of devils and become their den for them to hurt people. This treasured land has been defiled by the devils. It’s a pity and very sad.”
Zhang Yunyan was also very emotional. If the master still could know it after he died and see the former cave become the land of the devils, he must regret it. She hoped that his soul had been cultivated into the flesh again, and his skills were still unpredictably powerful so that he could come to the world to eradicate these devils.
She remembered the chess game that had not been finished, and understood that it was played by the reclusive masters in the leisure time. When the master was gone, he intended to fix the unfinished game with spells to prevent outsiders from moving the pieces.
In this way, the game might be intentionally set by the master. Was it that the chess pieces and the entire game also contained secrets that were unknown?
Or perhaps the whole game looked nothing special. It was a game that had not been finished, but it was still a doubt.
Thinking of this, she was more awed by the master.
Since Zhang Yunyan was adopted by her adoptive father Lin Hailong, she also learned chess. She often played with her adoptive parents and the three brothers and sisters. Her chess skills improved quickly and she was good at chess.
When she saw the game that was not finished, she was able to know about it generally even though she was very nervous at the time and couldn’t look at it clearly. At this time, she thought that the game was somewhat abstruse.
In her impression, the black and white chess pieces were tangled and very complicated. It seemed that it was one step away from the outcome, but she didn’t know where the pieces should be placed. She couldn’t see the correct chess path for a while, and it was difficult to guess the meaning of the game.
Yunyan no longer thought about those useless things. Looking at the sealed entrance, she suddenly thought of something and said, “Turtle Elf, since this sealed hole is so mysterious, will there be an exit to the outside?”
Turtle Elf was reminded, “Well, it is very possible. Perhaps there was a secret passage for the master to enter and exit the cave, so he closed it up. Yun Feiyan, your guess is reasonable. It’s very unusual. How did you come up with it?”
