Chapter 2134 Draw

"Strange, so strange!"

When Yang Xueli heard what Big Jinya said, she said anxiously: "Master Jin, what's so strange?"

"This endgame is a bit strange. Although it may have been very sophisticated at the time, with thousands of years of research, there have been chess records that have cracked this tableware."

Zhao Shucheng nodded and said: "That's true. Although this endgame is exquisite, it also depends on the dynasty. In the early Tang Dynasty, Go had just established the dominant position of the nineteen-way chessboard, and had even just spread from the court to the people. But At that time, most people who knew Go were an activity monopolized by nobles, so there were not many people who studied Go, so there were not many people who were proficient in Go.”

"But as Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty vigorously developed Go, and even set up a system for Hanlin chess to be ordered, this made Go professional and professional. As a result, Go entered a golden age, with more people popularizing it, and naturally there was no shortage Some talented people study chess games and have more exquisite Go records.”

"I discussed it with Mr. Jin. As long as the black piece falls in this place and captures the piece of white flag, the black piece will definitely win."

Others excitedly said after hearing this: "Then what are you waiting for? Just make a move, right here?"

However, Zhao Shucheng held the chess piece and did not drop it. Instead, he looked at the others and said, "It's just because we can win so easily that it feels strange. Li Chunfeng is also a Go master. It's impossible for him not to know that this endgame should be for future generations." It’s an easy problem to solve, but why is it still placed here?”

Yang Xueli also frowned and said, "There's something wrong with this. It can't be that simple, right?" '

Hu Bayi also said: "Yes, it's too simple!"

Fatty Wang couldn't help but swallowed when he saw so many good things, and said: "This Li Chunfeng is not a Feng Shui master, how come there are so many good things?"

One day, he made up his mind and insisted on letting Jia Xuan show his true skills to fight with him. After hearing the holy will, Xiao Xiaoqi repeatedly declined the imperial edict, but Song Taizong had another clever trick - deliberately giving Jia Xuan the third son. But even after all this effort, Jia Xuan still lost by a precise margin. Disappointed, Song Taizong immediately asked for another set and warned Jia Xuan that if he lost again, he would be dismissed from his official position.

"Not bad!"

Zhao Shucheng looked at the coffin, then at the chess game, and said: "You can't win this game, and you can't lose it. It seems that the best solution is to have an equal score."

"I discussed it with Mr. Jin, and finally found that as long as the chess pieces are placed here, a four-catastrophe cycle will occur. At that time, no matter how the two sides plan, they will only end up with a draw."

As he said that, Zhao Shucheng took the chess pieces directly and landed them where he just said. Following Zhao Shucheng's move, when others were a little nervous, they saw the surrounding walls begin to fall, and many priceless antique gold items appeared on the walls.

Zhao Shucheng shook his head and said: "Don't look at it. The Dragon Bone Heavenly Book is not among the treasures that appear now, but is hidden. If someone is greedy and takes away a treasure, then it will be acquiesced that a deal has been reached, and naturally I can’t see the appearance of the Dragon Bone Book.”

But Fatty Wang saw that there were not only porcelain, gold and silverware inside. There are also many ancient jades, ornaments, and even dagger Buddha statues, etc. If these were all from the Tang Dynasty, they would be extremely valuable. If there were items from the Western Zhou Dynasty among them, they would be even more valuable.

"Then we won the prize this time? What are you waiting for?" Wang Kaixuan was so excited that he went to get the treasure.

At the beginning of the second game, a "three calamity cycle" appeared in the middle game. Neither side could give in. According to the rules, it should be judged as a draw. Faced with this result, Song Taizong asked for a third game, and he also intensified the warning - if Jia Xuan won, he would be awarded the robe (being awarded the robe was a great honor in the Song Dynasty). If he lost, he would be Being thrown into the muddy water.

Zhao Shucheng asked Hu Bayi to stop Wang Kaixuan and said, "Fat man, don't get excited yet. Don't forget why we are here."

"The armillary sphere was like this before, the Soul Suspended Ladder was like this, and even the coffin surge was a little stirred, and it was too simple and easy for us to enter here."

Zhao Shucheng smiled and said: "It seems that you have also noticed that since Li Chunfeng is a Feng Shui master and a Go master, but his settings are so simple, don't he really worry about future generations coming here to rob tombs? Think about this journey The traps that come here always look simple, but actually contain hidden secrets. If we hadn’t been careful, we would have been in danger long ago. "

Fatty Wang was stunned for a moment after hearing this, and said: "Why? We are here for... the Dragon Bone Heavenly Book? But where is the Dragon Bone Heavenly Book? Why didn't I see it?"

Hu Ba nodded and said: "Yes, the structure of this tomb is the same as that of Qimen Dunjia. The eight walls correspond to the eight doors opened by Xiu Sheng and Du Jingsheng."

Yang Xueli said: "You mean, you still have to unlock this mechanism before you can see the Dragon Bone Book?"

Yang Shirley nodded and said: "Yes, this reminds me of a story, that is, Jia Xuan played chess with Song Taizong. Jia Xuan was a Go genius in the Northern Song Dynasty, and he was even named a chess player. Every time he played chess with Song Taizong Taizong always lost only one piece in the game, which was called "all the way" in order not to disappoint the emperor. Jia Xuan's chess skills were more than one step ahead of the emperor, and Song Taizong also knew that he was being given up. At first, he was quite satisfied with this and did not criticize it. However, as time went by, Song Taizong gradually lost interest in this kind of "constant victory". In addition, his victory was always unclear, which made him feel even more uncomfortable.

Zhao Shucheng said with a smile: "Miss Yang is indeed knowledgeable and knowledgeable, and that's exactly what I thought. As a senior, Li Chunfeng can't be justified if we win, and we will die if we lose, so the best choice is a round and a draw." Chess. The owner of the tomb also wanted this, so he set up such a chess game.”

As a result, the third game was still a draw, because Jia Xuan was forced to give up three pieces by the emperor, so it was considered a loss. But after he was thrown into the lotus pond by the guards, he suddenly started shouting again. It turned out that Jia Xuan still held a coin in his hand that he hadn’t counted yet! Seeing this scene, Song Taizong couldn't help laughing, and then gave Wei Yi. "

Zhao Shucheng said with a smile: "Fat man, you have underestimated the role of a Feng Shui master. Li Chunfeng's Taishi Ling may not have a high official position, but he is a world-famous fortune teller. How can you ask Taishi Ling to read Feng Shui and tell fortunes for your family? Only if they are high-ranking officials and nobles, the things they can give are rare treasures, even if they are not priceless. "

"Besides, don't you think that just because we played a game of chess, Li Chunfeng won't pursue us for coming to rob the tomb? There are so many treasures in front of you, and a slightly greedy person will definitely not be able to control himself and sweep away the treasures. When the time comes, the agency will It will start and everyone will die here."

Wang Kaixuan said: "I know a little bit about the eight gates, which are the gate of life and the gate of death. Lao Hu, I won't be able to trouble you. Just find the gate of life."

Hu Bayi said: "It's not that easy. Someone with a little knowledge can find the living door, but that will definitely fall into his trap. Judging from the agencies we have along the way, although the tomb owner will not let us die directly, But we will never let anyone escape easily. The owner of the tomb has put us to the test and will not let anyone take away the Dragon Bone Book easily. If we want to crack the mechanism, we need to find the treasures corresponding to the eight gates."

After hearing this, Shirley Yang asked with some confusion: "I also know a little about the Nine Palaces and Eight Gates, but how can these things be compared with the Eight Gates?"

Zhao Shucheng said: "It's actually hard to say, but it's also simple to say. The Eight Gates actually come from the Nine Palaces, and they also correspond to the Eight Diagrams. Two and four are shoulders, six and eight are feet, three on the left and seven on the right, and nine shoes are worn. "Fifth Bureau Central."

Now both Hu Bayi and Yang Xueli understood. They stood in the center and looked at the eight walls and said: "The nine palaces are the nine directions indicated by the number of the nine books. Put the eight gates in the Qidun Armor into the nine palaces. Hugh The first palace is Menkan, the second palace is Kunmen, the third palace is Zhenmen, the fourth palace is Dumenxun, the fifth palace is in the middle, the sixth palace is Kaimenqian, the seventh palace is Jingmendui, the eighth palace is Shengmengen, and the ninth palace is Jingmenli. "But it doesn't say where the Gate of Life and the Gate of Death are. How do we know the location of the eight gates?" Yang Xueli looked around and couldn't see any clues, so she asked.

"This is also simple. Generally speaking, the head of the coffin faces the door. As the saying goes, Dai Jiuluyi means Jingmen and Ximen. If you find this, you can analyze the door of death and the door of life." Zhao Shucheng said easily. .

Fatty Wang asked curiously: "What are the corresponding objects?"

Zhao Shucheng said with a smile: "This is also very simple. The eight gates correspond to the Bagua, and the Bagua naturally corresponds to the five elements. Kun represents the earth, earthquake is thunder, Li is fire, Dui is rain, Qian is sky, Xun is wind, and Kan is water. , Gen is a mountain.”

Hu Bayi nodded when he heard what Zhao Shucheng said. Then he and Zhao Shucheng looked at each other, walked to the wall together, searched for the corresponding bright weapon according to the corresponding Eight Trigrams, and then started to rotate.

When Da Jinya saw Hu Bayi preparing to attack a bronze statue, he suddenly stopped him and said, "Master Hu, are you mistaken? Didn't you say that the ridge is water, which corresponds to water? Why is this bronze statue so different?" Can’t stand it?”

"Kan is water, water is just an appearance, and Kan is the center in the meaning of hexagram..."

While Hu Bayi was explaining to Da Jinya and the others, Zhao Shucheng had already found several other corresponding weapons, namely:

Death Gate Kun, correspondingly, the item is a piece of blood jade.

The door shakes, corresponding to the wind, the golden nanmu miniature screen.

Du Menxun corresponds to thunder, and the cloud and thunder pattern is the Western Zhou Li Gui.

Open the door to dry, corresponding to the sky, the moiré box.

Jingmendui, corresponding to Yuze, is a sheep vase.

As these items rotated, the mechanism began to activate, and the floor of the tomb suddenly cracked, revealing an abyss below.

"Lao Hu, Mr. Zhao, are you looking for the wrong person? Why is there still an agency here?"

"That's right, this is a timer. We have to find the items corresponding to the eight gates before the mechanism is activated. But there is no time. After all, only the items of Shengmen and Jingmen are left. One is the Jade Dog and the other is Suzaku. Candlestick. One for each person, Lao Hu!”

Following the actions of Zhao Shucheng and Hu Bayi, the eight cracked pieces on the ground did not retreat, but returned to their original appearance. Following the eight walls, they suddenly slowly rose.

Zhao Shucheng didn't have any mysophobia. He took advantage of the mechanism's rotation and used his long sword to run along the bottom of the object, cutting off the connection with the mechanism and taking down the visible object.

After Wang Kaixuan saw Zhao Shucheng's actions, he couldn't help but regret it. Why hadn't he thought of this earlier? If you think about it, can you get more treasures?

After seeing Zhao Shucheng's actions, Yang Xueli couldn't help frowning, but looking at the others, she couldn't say anything.

As the sound of the mechanism stopped, all eight walls were retracted. Instead, the sound of the mechanism reappeared where the chessboard was originally placed.

Yang Xueli and others looked over there nervously, fearing that there would be some mechanism and they would have to pass the test.

However, after the chessboard sank into the ground, a simple box rose up.

Zhao Shucheng walked over directly, opened the box, and saw a piece of tortoise shell inside, which seemed to be the Dragon Bone Book.

"Dragon Bone Book?"

Zhao Shucheng looked at the door of the tomb chamber and didn't know when it opened. He said to the others: "Don't look at it. Take the Dragon Bone Book and the Mingqi. Let's leave here immediately. Li Chunfeng is not that easy to talk to. We haven't returned the things after we took them." Let’s go and think about opening the coffin, maybe we’ll all be left here.”

Wang Kaixuan originally really wanted to open the coffin to see what treasures were in the coffin. But now that he heard what Zhao Shucheng said and knew that the next situation would be extremely dangerous, he had no choice but to give up this idea.

Wang Kaixuan still wanted to hold the box containing the Dragon Bone Book, but Zhao Shucheng refused. Yang Shirley only took the Dragon Bone Book, and the box continued to stay here.

Others were a little confused when they saw Zhao Shucheng's behavior, but when they saw that Zhao Shucheng had no intention of explaining, and instead hurriedly prepared to leave the tomb, they felt that there seemed to be some danger, so they quickly followed him.

After Zhao Shucheng and the others walked out of the Hades Hall, they saw that many people with dark faces had gathered outside the Hades Hall, and their faces suddenly became very ugly.

"Master Zhao, it seems that we are going to have a big battle here today, but I don't know if we can all go out by then. If we can't get out..."

When Zhao Shucheng saw Hu Bayi about to give his last words, he snorted and said: "Master Hu, if you have anything to say, go out and tell people yourself, I haven't lived enough, and I didn't want to bury it in the ground so early. Miss Yang, you go ahead, take out the Dragon Bone Book, everyone come closer, let’s go!”

Yang Xueli was a little puzzled at first, but when she heard that Zhao Shucheng asked her to step forward, and there was also the Dragon Bone Book, she took a few steps forward tentatively, but found that the black-faced beasts did not attack, but took a few steps back.

"How is this going?"
