Heirs of the Seven Swords of the Qin Dynasty

Chapter 1129 The Room of Chivalry
  There is a huge hole at the top of the cave, and bright white sunlight shines in from there, providing light for the two of them.

This illumination allowed Tianming and Chitaki to have extremely clear vision within the area at the entrance, but it was not possible to go deeper, and it was still dim and difficult to see clearly.

Now there is only one road in front of them, which is a long and narrow bridge facing the entrance gate. On both sides of the bridge are bronze figures as tall as two people, all dressed as soldiers, with axes in their hands. class of weapons.

Tian Ming did not rush in recklessly, but he still got close to the bronze statue at the bridge entrance nearest to him and began to study it.

Chitaki did not follow him, but went around to the side.

There is almost nothing on the entrance side, with the exception of a round, flat object.

Chitaki touched the thing and touched it. His hands were immediately stained with dust, but part of the true appearance of the thing was revealed.

A mirror, a huge mirror fixed in this position.

Since it was installed vertically, there was not much dust on the mirror. Chitaki simply cleaned it up and restored the mirror to its most basic functions.

But there’s no point in putting a mirror here, right?
  "Chitaki, what did you find?"

At this time, Tianming, who had had enough of seeing the giant bronze figures, came to find the goddess.

Chitaki turned his back to Tianming and replied absently, "Here is a mirror..."

"Ok?"

After responding to this sentence, Qiantaki also found a suitable idea, reached out and grabbed the edge of the mirror and pulled hard...

Sure enough, although the mirror is fixed in place by the base and cannot move, it can rotate.

But it can only turn up and down, not left or right.

Tianming had just come over and still didn't understand what was going on. Qiantaki had already begun to carefully move the mirror, trying to find a suitable position.

She felt that the mirror should be pointed upward, but she didn't know where exactly because she couldn't see the upper area clearly, so she could only try it bit by bit.

Fortunately, she was not an old hapless person, and she successfully found the position of the agency without spending too much time.

The incandescent sunlight projected from the hole on the top just shines on the mirror facing the sky, and is reflected by the mirror and then folded up at another angle.

At dawn, they couldn't see clearly where the light hit, but looking at the newly refracted light, they could roughly guess that it was a mirror - a second mirror.

Then the third mirror, the fourth mirror, the fifth mirror...

After dozens of rounds of repeated reflections, most of the cave cavity that was not covered by light was basically covered by rain and dew.

Of course, the lighting produced by this kind of operation is definitely not very useful, and it is far from bright, but it is somewhat effective and can prevent Tian Ming and his two eyes from going dark.

"Hey, you can see things now." Tianming looked at the much brighter cave and couldn't help but grin.

Qiantaki also nodded in agreement, "I didn't expect that the ancestors of the Mo family would think of using such an unconstrained method to collect light. It's really amazing."

"Okay, let's go!" Seeing that the light problem was solved, Tianming couldn't wait to rush further inside.

Qiantaki hurriedly grabbed him, "Tianming, don't be too anxious!"

"I don't know how many agencies there are here, we'd better be careful."

"Hehe, I know." Regarding the goddess, Tianming patiently explained, "But look, you can see the light here at a glance. There is nothing except the mirror. We can only go inside first."

"...Okay." Qiantaki couldn't object to this well-founded statement, but just warned, "Remember not to..."

"Don't move things, I know, I know." Tianming answered with a smile, "I promise to follow your command and never move anything." "Come on."

Chitaki smiled helplessly and could only step forward to keep up with Tianming who was walking in front.

The bridge was paved with floor tiles, which looked like trigger-type mechanisms. Chitaki was a little worried at first, but seeing that Tianming had walked a long distance without any incident, she felt a little more relaxed. .

Hmm... She didn't feel any dent when she stepped on it, so there was a high probability that it would be fine.

However, somewhere where the two children could not see, the gears of the machine had begun to turn silently.

………………

"Huh!?" Shao Yu looked at the chessboard, his eyes widened suddenly, and he smashed his fist in frustration, "It's broken, let it get a chance."

Turning his eyes on the chessboard, he saw that the white stones controlled by the mechanism were captured at this time... No, it should be said that he instigated a large number of Shaoyu's black stones, achieving a reversal in the number of chess pieces on both sides.

This is also the first time since the beginning of the chess game that Shao Yu has fewer black stones than white stones.

This made him a little annoyed, but he didn't particularly care.

It's just a temporary defeat, and it's normal for this to happen in a chess game.

It can only be said that the mechanism created by the Mo family surprised Shao Yu. It was smarter than he thought and could catch his flaws.

It doesn't matter, he will continue to strike, end the game, and win.

Just as Shao Yu was secretly regrouping, the heart-shaking sound of the machine's operation sounded again.

This time the sound came from both sides of Shao Yu's position.

A square hole suddenly opened in the walls on both sides, and with a pop, a square wall with dozens of spear tips inserted neatly from top to bottom, left to right.

The position of the two thorn walls was facing Shao Yu who was imprisoned on the chess table, and the goal was obvious.

Shao Yu looked around at the shimmering blade, with a few beads of cold sweat breaking out on his head.

"Careful in life and death...is this what you meant?"

"No way..."

The originally ambitious young master of the Xiang clan suddenly became depressed.

Just playing chess is fine, but it's different if you have to risk your life.

It’s too much fun!
  Shao Yu swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and when he stretched his fingers towards the chessboard again, he couldn't help but hesitate.

Speaking of which, the more dangerous and desperate the situation, the more calm he should be, the more he should be resourceful in a hurry, find a way out, and defeat the enemy.

But the reality is that once the threat of death hits a person's head, their sanity will inevitably be affected, and their brains will definitely have random thoughts.

What if you lose?
  Am I sure to win?

These doubts that will inevitably arise in the event of a loss will inevitably have a negative impact in a mental game such as chess.

Especially since Shao Yu is still in a situation where he is threatened but the sense of urgency has not reached its highest point, adrenaline may not be willing to help him.

In comparison, Shao Yu's opponent has no emotions or thoughts, and uses a machine that is always stable...
