"Twice?" Yun Qingwu's eyes flashed with disbelief when she heard this. Then, she shook her head gently and said, "361 intersection points. Two attempts would mean that you have to deduce 180 possibilities. It's a little too much. Normally, it should be impossible."
"You don't believe me? How about we make a bet? "Fang Zhengzhi smiled.
"Alright, what do you want to bet?" Yun Qingwu seemed to have guessed that Fang Zhengzhi would say this. She was not too surprised and nodded.
"Let's bet on the remaining eight Maps of Access to Heaven. If you lose, you have to tell me where the remaining Maps of Access to Heaven are. How about that?"
"What if you lose?"
"I'll give you the Blazing Qilin Spear. You know that the Blazing Qilin Spear is one of the ten greatest treasures of the Great Xia Dynasty. It has an extremely powerful attack power." Fang Zhengzhi looked as if he had gained a huge advantage.
However, Yun Qingwu smiled when she heard this.
Her pale face seemed to have turned red. That was how the saying went, "She could charm hundreds of people with a smile and topple a nation with a smile."
Although the Blazing Qilin Spear was an ultimate treasure, it was not very useful to Yun Qingwu.
Most importantly …
The Blazing Qilin Spear was her weapon.
Fang Zhengzhi used the Blazing Qilin Spear to make a bet with Yun Qingwu. Apart from the value of the two weapons, his shamelessness was already admirable.
"I want the" Guangling Painting ". If you lose, you have to give me the" Guangling Painting "." After Yun Qingwu finished laughing, she did not waste any time and stated her conditions immediately.
"No, the" Guangling Painting "was made up of 28 Maps of Access to Heaven. It's too much of a loss to use it to bet on the whereabouts of the other eight Maps of Access to Heaven." Fang Zhengzhi rejected her directly.
"But I was the one who made the" Guangling Painting "."
"I saved your life earlier on, so we're even now."
"Shameless." Yun Qingwu spat and said, "Then let's bet on my father's Black-Golden Wings."
"That won't do either. I think it's quite useful, I can't give it to you." Fang Zhengzhi shook his head again.
"So, you're afraid of losing?"
"I will be afraid …" Fang Zhengzhi immediately realized that Yun Qingwu was trying to goad him into action. Unfortunately, would he fall for it?
The answer was obviously …
He will.
"Alright, I'll bet the Black-Golden Wings with you. Do you think I'll f * cking lose?" Fang Zhengzhi agreed to Yun Qingwu's request.
Yun Qingwu's eyes lit up when she heard this.
Bet on the Black-Gold Wings?
Could it be that Fang Zhengzhi was confident that he could deduce the location of 'Heavenly Yuan' with just two attempts? That was impossible!
How did he do it?
Yun Qingwu was a little confused because she knew very well that Fang Zhengzhi was not better than her in terms of deduction. However, Fang Zhengzhi looked very confident.
"Alright, let's begin." Yun Qingwu did not understand, but Fang Zhengzhi's actions had piqued her curiosity. She wanted to see how he did it.
Fang Zhengzhi did not hesitate at all.
After agreeing on the terms, it was time to show off. Of course, the prerequisite was to find the connection points to the other chess pieces.
Fang Zhengzhi felt that it would take at least some time and he could use this time to observe the surrounding environment and the layout.
However, he miscalculated.
That was because he had Yun Qingwu beside him.
With Yun Qingwu's intelligence, it was not difficult for her to find something amiss in a forest and find the connection points along the lines of these amiss points.
After 15 minutes, Yun Qingwu pointed at a row of nine caves in the forest and nodded at Fang Zhengzhi.
"This should be the tunnel that connects to the other chess pieces." Yun Qingwu was very certain. Then, she looked at Fang Zhengzhi and said, "Which one should we enter?"
"The first one is to try. Let's enter any one." Fang Zhengzhi looked at the nine caves in front of him, then looked at the trees that blocked the entrances and sighed in his heart.
F * ck … This girl was really good at finding!
Without Yun Qingwu, it would be very difficult for him to find such a hidden place.
At the very least, he would need to spend a lot of time.
Indeed, with Yun Qingwu by his side, everything became much simpler. This was one of the benefits that Fang Zhengzhi received for risking his life to save Yun Qingwu.
"Alright, let's choose this one." Yun Qingwu nodded. She did not seem to be suspicious of Fang Zhengzhi's "randomly choosing one". Instead, she casually chose the cave that was closest to her and entered it.
Fang Zhengzhi smiled and quickly followed behind Yun Qingwu into the cave. It was a little dark and damp, but it did not seem to be dangerous.
After a while, he saw a light in front of him.
"We're here." Yun Qingwu's voice could be heard from the spot where the light shone. Evidently, she had already left the cave and entered another chess piece.
"Hmm." Fang Zhengzhi nodded his head and stepped out of the cave.
The world in front of him was still a fairyland. The scenery, forest, and flowers were not much different from where he was previously.
In fact, he could even hear the sound of flowing water not far away.
If he guessed correctly, there should be a pool there, and the place where the pool was connected to should also be the mountain that he came from.
Therefore, the next step was to "deduce".
"The sound of the water came from the southwest … That means that the first chess piece that Yun Qingwu and I entered was in the southwest direction …" Fang Zhengzhi pretended to look at his surroundings. Then, he used his hand to make a random mark on the wall of the cave and started to think quickly.
Yun Qingwu seemed to be deducing too.
However, as compared to Fang Zhengzhi, Yun Qingwu's deduction was obviously more orthodox. Not only was she listening to the direction where the sound of the water came from, she was also drawing something on the palm of her other hand.
Fang Zhengzhi took a rough look at it. It seemed to be a formation.
However, he could not see clearly what it looked like. After all, Yun Qingwu did not draw the formation in her palm as a real line. Instead, she just kept pointing at it.
"Have you figured it out?" After drawing for a long time, Yun Qingwu stopped and looked at where Fang Zhengzhi was.
"Hmm, I have already figured it out, follow me." Fang Zhengzhi straightened his back and said confidently.
"So fast?" Yun Qingwu looked even more confused, but she did not say anything. Instead, she looked at Fang Zhengzhi with an extremely strange gaze.
She thought that she was extremely talented and knowledgeable in deduction and calculation.
However, Fang Zhengzhi said that he was faster than her?
Did she believe it?
Yun Qingwu did not believe it, but it was not that she did not doubt him either. She nodded calmly and quickly looked for the tunnel that connected to the other chess pieces.
With the experience from the first time, she was much faster this time.
In less than 15 minutes, the two of them arrived at another location with nine caves. The number and layout of the caves were almost exactly the same as the previous one.
36 Heavenly Stars Formation.
Using the chessboard as a game and all the mountains as chess pieces, these chess pieces would naturally be almost the same. There wouldn't be much difference between them.
"Which one should we choose?" Yun Qingwu asked.
"Of course the second one." Without hesitation, Fang Zhengzhi pointed to the second cave out of the nine caves and walked in with big strides.
"The second one?" Yun Qingwu frowned slightly. Based on her deduction, the chances of the seventh, eighth, and ninth caves were much higher.
Why did he choose the second one?
Did she make a mistake?
Yun Qingwu became more and more confused, but she did not question him. After all, she was not 100% confident.
She could only continue to follow Fang Zhengzhi.
Soon, the two of them passed through the cave and arrived at the location of the third "chess piece". It was the same mountain and the same sound of flowing water.
The only difference was that the direction of the flowing water was in the southeast direction.
"…" Fang Zhengzhi's eyelids twitched when he heard the sound of flowing water. If he did not hear wrongly, he seemed to have chosen the wrong cave.
After all, this was a very common knowledge.
When he entered the second chess piece, the sound of flowing water came from the southwest direction. If he chose the right location, the sound of flowing water would most likely come from the southwest direction.
That was a little awkward.
He was too unlucky.
However, Fang Zhengzhi did not mind at all. He had to choose one out of nine. Under such circumstances, it was normal for him to choose the wrong hole.
If he chose the right one …
That would be a real ghost.
"You seem to have gone the wrong way." Yun Qingwu evidently noticed the direction where the sound of flowing water came from. She turned to look at Fang Zhengzhi and asked.
"That's right." Fang Zhengzhi shook his head and confirmed.
"The sound of flowing water came from the southeast direction, and we should have been in the southwest direction previously." Yun Qingwu told him the basis of her judgment.
Fang Zhengzhi blushed.
Damn it!
Yun Qingwu was indeed very intelligent. She could tell that he had chosen the wrong cave immediately. What should he do now?
Stay calm!
Fang Zhengzhi was very calm and did not panic at all.
"What does it mean to enter the southeast from the southwest?" Fang Zhengzhi did not answer Yun Qingwu's question immediately.
"What does it mean?" Yun Qingwu asked.
"This means that the first chess piece we were on was in the South-East direction. We made the wrong move on the second chess piece and went to the South-West direction. Now, because of my correct judgment, we have found our way back to the South-East direction and are one step closer to 'Heavenly Yuan'. Do you understand?" Fang Zhengzhi explained seriously.
"…" Yun Qingwu's lips moved. Then, she fell into deep thought and nodded. "Hmm, then let's continue moving forward."
"That's right. Trust me, I'm right." Fang Zhengzhi patted his chest confidently.
On the other hand, Yun Qingwu did not say anything else. Instead, her lips were mumbling something and her fingers were tapping on her other palm.
After a while, Yun Qingwu's eyes lit up.
"She probably figured it out after three tries?" Fang Zhengzhi guessed when he saw the radiance in Yun Qingwu's eyes.
It seemed like it was time to get some information out of her.
Fang Zhengzhi's mind was racing as he thought about how he could get information out of Yun Qingwu. However, he did not stop moving.
Soon, both of them arrived at the edge of the pond.
"I see that you are sweating. Why don't you take a bath and I'll wait for you at the side?" Fang Zhengzhi pointed at the pond and said with concern.
"No need, Nangong Mu should be able to find the location of 'Heavenly Yuan' soon. I can still hold on." Yun Qingwu shook her head and rejected.
"Alright, let's speed up." Fang Zhengzhi did not insist.
"Hmm." Yun Qingwu nodded and gritted her teeth as she followed.
Not long after, the two of them found another nine caves.
This time, Yun Qingwu was obviously much calmer than before. She did not take another look at the nine caves as though she was "already occupied".
"Did you figure it out too?" Fang Zhengzhi looked into Yun Qingwu's eyes and tried to find the answer from her eyes. However, to his disappointment, Yun Qingwu did not even look at the caves.
"More or less." Yun Qingwu nodded calmly.
"More or less? Does that mean you don't have an accurate answer? How about this, I'll be kind and compare my answer with yours. This way, we can verify if you can really figure out the way after three tries, "said Fang Zhengzhi immediately.
"Compare my answer?" Yun Qingwu was a little surprised.
"Yes, you know that I'm helping you." Fang Zhengzhi blinked at Yun Qingwu and said, "You have to be grateful for helping you improve."
"Thank you, I don't need it." Yun Qingwu's lips curled upwards and she wanted to laugh. However, she suppressed it and shook her head to reject Fang Zhengzhi's "kind intention".
"Sigh … you don't have the heart to learn, looks like you can only stop here." Fang Zhengzhi could not help but sigh when he heard Yun Qingwu's rejection.
Of course, in his heart, he felt like cursing.
F * ck!
She did not fall for his trick?!
She did not fall for his "brilliant" acting skills?
What the hell!
Indeed, Yun Qingwu was not easy to trick. In order to trick Yun Qingwu, he had to be more realistic. Such exaggerated acting skills did not work.
Fang Zhengzhi felt a little bitter.
However, it was too difficult to think of a way to trick Yun Qingwu in such a short period of time. It was inevitable that he would exaggerate once in a while.
So, the problem now was …..
Which cave should he choose among the nine caves in front of him?
Forget it.
He would just randomly choose one.
Hopefully, he would be lucky enough to choose the cave where the sound of water came from.
