Chapter 1694 – A Way to Turn the Tables
”These monks who came over from Magadha Kingdom actually like to play chess as well?”
Yan Zhong similarly sees the chessboard and says in surprise, then dives headfirst into the small kitchen at the side of the courtyard, rummaging around for a long time before finally finding dry food.
Huo Zaiwei and the others also walked into the temple one by one and looked around, Chloe poking curiously at the clay Buddha statue in the center while igniting a flame to light the red candles enshrined in the temple one after another.
Blizzard mixed in the gale, blowing the broken temple door creaking, a few strands of candle flame swaying in the wind, as if dipping this mud tattoo Buddha statue into gold.
”Everyone is starving after this journey, let’s eat something here before we set off.” Yan Zhong distributed dry food to everyone, “Otherwise if we really run into that monster body later, we’ll all be too hungry to fight.”
Lin Qiye was now a Hongmeng Spirit Foetus and didn’t need to eat, so he handed his dry food to Jia Lan:
”You eat it.”
As Jia Lan nibbled on his own dry food, he saw Lin Qiye handing over another one and first froze, then tentatively spoke, “Aren’t you going to eat?”
”I’m not hungry.”
Jia Lan took the dry food over with confidence, “First things first, treating me to a meal won’t buy me …… the job that I should find for me, I still have to find it.”
”Yes yes yes, don’t worry, can’t starve you.” Lin Qiye cried and laughed as he opened his mouth.
Calan ate two mouthfuls of dry food, as if he thought of something:
”Right, Lin Qiye.”
”What’s wrong?”
”Counting the time, those monsters should be coming for me again……. What should I do? This time, the Immortal Dan was eaten by me, so I can’t even destroy it if I want to.” Calan’s face collapsed, as if even the dry food in his hand didn’t smell good anymore.
”Don’t worry, with me here, they can’t capture you.”
Lin Qiye opened his mouth to comfort, but in his heart, he seriously pondered.
[Key of the Gate] knows that the Immortal Dan was eaten by Calan, so naturally it won’t stop, and as this situation develops, He will still send a steady stream of Migos over to hunt down Calan, and although as long as he accompanies Calan, nothing will happen to Calan, it’s not a solution to go on like this all the time. ……
How about hiding Jia Lan’s karma as well?
Lin Qiye’s eyes flashed with a shimmering light as he turned his head to look at Jia Lan, and in his field of vision, a thread of karma floated out from within Jia Lan’s body.
Hearing Lin Qiye’s assurance, Jia Lan was feeling a bit at ease when he saw him suddenly look at himself with a serious face and asked suspiciously:
”What’s wrong?”
”Nothing, you eat yours, I’ll just take a look.”
Lin Qiye stared intently at the fluttering threads of karma, his brows slightly furrowed.
Up until now, Lin Qiye had only managed to hide his own karmic threads, it was still unknown if he could hide others’ karma……. Garland had grown up in Yaochi since she was young and only served the Queen Mother, so she had very few karmic threads in her body, but the problem was that Lin Qiye sensed another aura within her body.
A pitch-black thread of causality, mixed in with Ca Lan’s causality, extended outward all the way to nothingness.
What kind of karma was that?
Lin Qiye followed the filament and eventually locked onto its source …… Immortal Dan.
Although the Immortal Dan is an item, as long as it exists, it also possesses its own causal filament, and the causality on this pill is far more complex than the one on Jia Lan by a hundred times, and on top of that dark causal filament, it is even tainted with a hint of the grammatical system.
How could the Immortal Dan …… have karma with the gram system?
Lin Qiye suddenly thought that he had previously heard the Great Summer God say that when the Spiritual Treasure Heavenly Father refined the Immortality Dan, he suffered a heavenly tribulation, and a thunderbolt descended from the sky and split the Immortality Dan in half ……
Heavenly tribulation?
Lin Qiye clearly remembered that he had also attracted that terrifying lightning strike after obtaining the [Unprovoked Cause] and [Established Fruit]……. However, that wasn’t some kind of heavenly tribulation, but rather, the [Key of the Door] was spacing out and trying to put him to death.
Then is it possible that what destroyed the Immortal Immortality Pill back then was not some heavenly calamity at all, but rather, the [Key of the Gate] was striking out across the long river of time, wanting to obliterate the pill?
The Heavenly Father back then shouldn’t have known about the existence of the [Key of the Gate], and misidentified that lightning strike as a heavenly calamity?
In that case, everything makes sense …… [Key of the Gate] realized that the Immortal Immortality Pill was in significant danger from the very beginning and wanted to directly destroy it, but with the interference of the Heavenly Sovereign, it only split it in half, and the [Key of the Gate] didn’t give up on it, and directly discharged the Migo to hunt down and kill the two pills, wanting to completely erase their existence.
No wonder, the karma of the [Key of the Gate] appeared on this Immortal Dan, so it was left behind by that lightning strike ……
Seeing that Lin Qiye was always staring at her seriously, Jia Lan was a bit embarrassed, and she was about to say something when Lin Qiye suddenly reached out and ruffled her hair ……
”You, what are you doing?” Jia Lan came back to her senses, her cheeks flashed two flashes of red quickly, and she couldn’t help but open her mouth.
”Don’t move.”
Lin Qiye’s fingertips stopped in front of Jia Lan’s hair and gently flicked something, and an invisible thread of karma was drawn away from him, connecting head to tail between his palms and gradually converging into the shape of a circle, and Jia Lan’s karma loomed up.
However, Lin Qiye’s frown grew tighter and tighter, and after a moment, he lowered his palm and sighed helplessly.
He could hide Calan’s karma …… but that thread of karma from the Immortal Dan, he couldn’t hide it. Perhaps it was because the Immortal Dan’s connection with the gram system was too strong, or perhaps he didn’t have enough control over the [Unwarranted Cause] and [Established Fruit].
But no matter what, this was bad news, even if he could hide Caran’s karma, as long as the Immortal Dan was still there, the [Key to the Gate] could still see here.
Jia Lan ruffled her messy hair at her temples, her entire face was already red, she couldn’t even understand what exactly Lin Qiye was doing, but for some reason, her heartbeat just inexplicably sped up.
”What’s wrong with your face?” Lin Qiye asked.
”Nothing …… nothing.” Calan viciously nibbled on dry food and gradually calmed down.
Lin Qiye didn’t ask more questions because now his thoughts were completely on another matter, he sat up from the ground and casually picked up the stone in the corner of the temple, placing it between his palms and playing with it carefully.
”What are you doing?” Seeing Lin Qiye’s actions, Chloe on the side asked suspiciously.
”Hiding karma.”
Lin Qiye’s eyes narrowed slightly, and as he flicked his fingertips, a stone’s karmic threads twisted together and coalesced into a circle, gradually hiding in nothingness.
His eyes grew brighter and brighter!
”I see.” Lin Qiye tossed the stone aside as if he remembered something, and violently turned his head to look at the chessboard in the courtyard, quickly walking forward!
Wow-!
He lifted up a chess basket and poured the black pieces in it all over the chessboard, a movement that immediately drew the attention of everyone else.
”What do you know?” Chloe grew more and more puzzled.
Lin Qiye lowered his head and looked at the chessboard filled with black pieces, his eyes as bright as stars!
”A way to flip the game!”
