Chapter 912: Chapter 58: Old Pei Sixâs Otherworld Journey (Part 2)
Pei Laoliu stepped over the obstacles on the ground and came to the door, intending to go out and take a look at the situation outside.
Itâs still a bit early to talk about teleportation and such, after all, itâs not certain that youâre in another world, right?
What if Iâm still on Water Blue Star?
Itâs just a remote, abandoned mountain village, which is nothing to someone who knows Sword Control Technique.
However, just as he was about to walk out, he suddenly slapped his forehead, remembering something.
âRight, that letter seemed to mention that he left some kind of opportunity here?â
Pei Laoliuâs eyes sparkled, and the thought of possibly having some good things related to cultivation here made him excited.
After all, itâs cultivation weâre talking about.
Even though that brat said there are no cultivators on Water Blue Star.
But as mentioned earlier, this doesnât necessarily mean weâre still in the original world, so having cultivators around wouldnât be surprising, right?
Although Master Liu isnât as determined in the pursuit of cultivation as Ye Cang, as half an insider, he still yearns for it.
He immediately started searching in the rundown little wooden house, wanting to see if he could truly harvest some opportunities.
Half an hour passed.
Pei Laoliu plopped onto a small wooden stool.
Just as he was about to catch his breath while rubbing his legs, the old and neglected stool couldnât withstand his weight and collapsed with a crack.
âWhat rotten luck. This place is so small; where is there any damn opportunity? Could it be a scam?â
His face was full of frustration as he grabbed a sheet of paper nearby and examined it carefully twice.
The content wasnât much, and he already remembered it by heart.
It was nothing more than a couple of lines resembling a will, with no mention of the opportunityâs location.
After pondering for a moment, just as Pei Laoliu began to doubt whether he had been deceived, his eyes unintentionally glanced over a spot on the paper, and he paused abruptly.
âHuh? This seems⊠like a slanted inscriptionâŠ?â
With a look of realization on his face, he quickly followed the format of the article, reading diagonally from right to left.
âBeneath my array stores opportunities!â
âBeneath my array stores opportunities! Doesnât that mean something is hidden under that array!?â
Pei Laoliu couldnât hide his excitement and hurried to the side of the array he had previously broken into pieces, reaching out to search beneath it.
He first checked if there were any hidden compartments or the like on the ground, but found nothing unusual.
Next, he turned over the pieces of wood on the ground and indeed saw something different on the back.
âThese patterns⊠could they be the opportunity he mentioned?â
Pei Laoliu was puzzled.
Earlier, when he was examining these pieces of wood, he noticed some human-carved patterns on the back.
He hadnât paid much attention initially, thinking it was just random doodles, with his focus entirely on the Tai Chi Diagram on the other side.
Now, combining it with the words on the paper, Pei Laoliu made a guess.
This thing might very well be the opportunity he was looking for!
He immediately began the restoration work.
Beside him, Da Hei tilted his head, a bit unclear about what his owner was doing, just sitting quietly, watching him busily working.
Itâs hard to say whether Zhang Jianâs drawing skills were too poor, or the patterns on the wood pieces were too chaotic. Without the Tai Chi Diagram on the other side as a reference, Pei Laoliu felt he couldnât have guessed how to piece them together properly.
Finally, the pieces were assembled. Although many traces on it were already blurred, he could still make out a little.
âIs this a mapâŠ?â
Pei Laoliu looked puzzled at the uneven wooden puzzle in front of him, feeling that this was the only explanation that somewhat made sense.
âHow could this unlucky thing be a map? Does that mean the so-called opportunity still requires Master Liu to go treasure hunting?â
He was quite frustrated, not expecting that after spending so much effort, he ended up only finding a clue.
He instinctively looked up at the surrounding environment, inwardly exclaiming âgood grief.â
This is an unfamiliar place with such a shoddy, nonsensical puzzle; where am I supposed to find anything?
Pei Laoliu clicked his tongue, expressing disappointment with the result.
But since he was already there and had assembled the puzzle, he figured he might as well record it. It might come in handy some day.
He opened the Star Network Terminal, snapped a few photos of the wooden fragments on the ground, and recorded the map.
Photography and illumination were among the few functions he knew how to use.
He had considered using the wristwatch to call Zhang Xiaoman to confirm whether he was still on Water Blue Star.
However, after trying to dial, the computer informed him that it couldnât connect to the Star Network, and the call wasnât successful.
Although Master Liu felt a bit disappointed, he didnât entirely confirm that he had left Water Blue Star because of this.
After all, as an old charlatan who had told fortunes for half his life, he couldnât comprehend what neutrino communication was, nor did he understand the technology involved.
He simply thought it was like a regular mobile phone call, losing signal once you got to mountainous areas.
