Chapter 19 The same frame in the century
"Strange, so weird!"
When Yang Xueli heard Da Jinya say this, she said anxiously: "Master Jin, what's strange?"
"This endgame is a bit strange. Although it may have been very exquisite in the past, with thousands of years of research, there have been chess recipes that have cracked this tableware."
Zhao Shucheng nodded and said, "It is true. Although this endgame is exquisite, it depends on the dynasty where it is located. In the early Tang Dynasty, this Go had just determined the dominance of the nineteen chess boards, and it had even spread from the palace to the people. However, at that time, most of the people who knew Go were activities monopolized by the gentry, so not many people who studied Go, so not many people who were proficient in Go."
"But with the vigorous development of Go after Emperor Xuanzong of Tang and even the system of Hanlin Gambling and waiting for the imperial examination, Go has become professional and professional. Therefore, Go has entered a golden age. With more popular people, there are naturally no shortage of talented people who study the game, so there are more exquisite Go records."
"I discussed with Master Jin. As long as the black piece landed in this place and ate the piece of white flag, the black piece will definitely win."
The others said excitedly after hearing this: "What are you waiting for? Just make a move, right? Is this?"
Zhao Shucheng took the chess piece and did not fall down. Instead, he looked at the others and said, "It is because we can win easily that we feel strange. Li Chunfeng is also a Go master. He cannot not know that this endgame should be a problem that is easy for future generations to solve, but why should it be placed here?"
Yang Xueli also frowned and said, "This is not right, it can't be that simple, right?"
Hu Bayi also said: "Not bad, it's too simple!"
Zhao Shucheng smiled and said, "It seems that you have noticed that since Li Chunfeng is a Feng Shui master and a Go master, it is so simple, aren't you really worried that future generations will come here to rob tombs? Think about the traps along the way, it's not simple, but it actually contains mystery. If we weren't careful, we would have encountered danger long ago."
"This was the case with the armillary sphere before, and the soul hanging ladder, and even the coffin rush was slightly stirred, so that we could enter here. It was too simple and too easy."
Zhao Shucheng looked at the coffin, looked at the chess game again, and said, "I can't win this game or lose. It seems that only equalization is the best solution."
Yang Xueli nodded and said, "Yes, this reminds me of a story, that is, Jia Xuan plays chess with Song Taizong. Jia Xuan is a Go genius in the Northern Song Dynasty and was even named a chess attendant. Every time he plays against Song Taizong, he always loses only one son, which is called "All the way" at that time, in order not to let the emperor lose his chess. Jia Xuan's chess skills are more than one better than the emperor, and Song Taizong also knew that he was given up. At first, he was quite satisfied with it and did not point it out. However, over time, Song Taizong gradually lost interest in this "everyday victory", and he always won unknown, so he felt even more uncomfortable.
One day, he made up his mind to let Jia Xuan show his true skills to fight with him. After hearing the holy intention, Xiao Xiaoqi's assistant refused, but Song Taizong had another trick - deliberately let Jia Xuan have three sons. However, even so, Jia Xuan lost the game with an accurate difference. Song Taizong was disappointed and immediately asked for another game and warned Jia Xuan that if he lost again, he would be dismissed from his official position.
The second game started, and when it was played to the middle game, there was a "three-tribulation cycle". Neither side could give in and should be judged as a chess according to the rules. Faced with this result, Emperor Taizong of Song asked for another third game, and also increased the warning - if Jia Xuan wins, he can be given a garment (the gift of a garment is a great honor in the Song Dynasty). If he loses, he will be thrown into the mud and turbid water.
As a result, the third game was still chess. Because Jia Xuan was forced to give up three sons by the emperor, he lost. However, after he was thrown into the lotus pond by the guards, he suddenly shouted again. It turned out that Jia Xuan still had a son in his hand and was not counted! Seeing this, Emperor Taizong of Song couldn't help laughing, and then gave him a garment."
Zhao Shucheng smiled and said, "Miss Yang is indeed knowledgeable and knowledgeable. I think so. As a senior, Li Chunfeng is unreasonable if we win, and if we lose, we will die here. Therefore, the best choice is also a game of chess. The owner of the tomb hopes that this is the case, so he sets up such a game of chess."
"I discussed it with Master Jin and finally found that as long as I put the chess piece here, there will be a four-tribulation cycle. No matter how both sides make arrangements, they will only be able to bring chess to the end."
As he said that, Zhao Shucheng took the chess piece and landed in the place he just said. As Zhao Shucheng made a move, others were a little nervous, but they saw that the surrounding walls began to fall, and many antique goldwares with priceless places appeared on the walls.
Fatty Wang saw so many good things, and couldn't help swallowing and said, "This Li Chunfeng is not a Feng Shui master, why do you have so many good things?"
Fatty Wang saw that there were not only porcelain, gold, silver, and many ancient jade, ornaments, and even short sword Buddha statues. If they were all from the Tang Dynasty, they would be of great value. If there were objects from the Western Zhou Dynasty, they would be even more valuable.
Zhao Shucheng smiled and said, "Fatty, you are underestimating the role of a Feng Shui master. Li Chunfeng's Taishi Ling may not have a high official position, but he is a famous prime minister in the world. If you can ask Taishi Ling to see Feng Shui fortune telling for your family, you must be a high-ranking official. Even if what they can give, even if it is not priceless, is a rare treasure."
"Then won't we send it this time? What are you waiting for?" Wang Kaixuan was so excited that he was about to get the treasure.
Zhao Shucheng asked Hu Bayi to stop Wang Kaixuan and said, "Fatty, don't be excited first, don't forget why we are here."
Fatty Wang was stunned when he heard this and said, "Why? We are for... the Dragon Bone Heavenly Book? But where is this Dragon Bone Heavenly Book? Why didn't I see it?"
Zhao Shucheng shook his head and said, "Don't read it. This 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 he will default to having a deal, and naturally he will not see the Dragon Bone Heavenly Book."
"What's more, you won't think that if we play a game of chess, Li Chunfeng won't pursue the tomb robbing? There are so many treasures in front of you, and a slightly greedy person will definitely not be able to control himself and sweep the treasures. The mechanism will be activated at that time, and everyone will die here."
Hu Ba nodded and said, "Yes, the structure of this tomb is the same as that of Qimen Dunjia. These eight walls correspond to Xiu Sheng and Du Jing's death and opened the eight gates."
Yang Xueli said: "What do you mean is that you have to unlock this mechanism before you can see the Dragon Bone Heavenly Book?"
"good!"
Wang Kaixuan said, "I understand the Eight Gates, it is the Life Gate and the Death Gate. Lao Hu, it will definitely not be difficult for you. Just find the Life Gate."
Hu Bayi said: "It's not that easy. Those who know a little can find the Gate of Life, but that will definitely fall into his trap. Judging from the mechanisms we have been going along, although the tomb owner will not let us die directly, he will never give us any way to live. The tomb owner has a test for us and will not easily let people take away the Dragon Bone Heavenly Book. If you want to crack the mechanism, you need to find the corresponding treasures of the Eight Gate."
When Shirley Yang heard this, she asked in confusion: "I know a little about the Nine Palaces and Eight Gates, but how can these things be matched with the Eight Gates?"
Zhao Shucheng said: "In fact, it is difficult to say, and it is simple to say. The eight gates actually come from the Nine Palaces, and they also correspond to the Eight Trigrams. Two and four are shoulders, six and eight are feet, three on the left and seven on the right, nine on the right, and one on the fifth bureau."
Now Hu Bayi and Yang Xueli understood, stood in the center and looked at the eight walls, and said, "Nine Palaces are the nine directions referred to by the numbers of the Nine Books. Put the eight gates in Qi Dun Jia in the nine palaces, the first palace of Xiumen Kan, the second palace of Death Gate Kun, the third palace of Shumen Zhen, the fourth palace of Dumen Xun, the fifth palace of the fifth palace of the Central Palace, the six palace of Opening the door, the six palace of Jingmen Dui, the seven palace of Shengmen Gen, and the nine palaces of Jingmen Li."
"But there is no saying that there is the Life Sect or the Death Sect. How do we know the location of the Eight Sects?" Yang Xueli looked around and couldn't see any tricks, so she asked.
"This is also simple. Generally speaking, the head of the coffin is facing the door, as the saying goes, Dai Jiuluyi, that is, Jingmen and Xiumen. If you find this, you can analyze the Death Gate and Shengmen." Zhao Shucheng said relaxedly.
Fatty Wang asked curiously: "What are the corresponding objects?"
Zhao Shucheng smiled and said, "This is also very simple. The Eight Gates correspond to the Eight Trigrams, and the Five Elements of the Eight Trigrams are natural. Kun represents the earth, Zhen represents thunder, Li represents fire, Dui represents rain and ze, Qian represents heaven, Xun represents wind, Kan represents water, and Gen represents mountain."
Hu Bayi nodded when he heard what Zhao Shucheng said, then looked at Zhao Shucheng, went to the wall together, searched for the corresponding bright weapon according to the corresponding Bagua and Eight Gates, and then began to rotate.
When Da Jinya saw Hu Bayi against a bronze statue, she suddenly stopped him and said, "Master Hu, have you made a mistake? You didn't say that Kan is water, it corresponds to water. Why can't this bronze statue stand? "
"Kan is water, water is just an appearance, Kan is in the meaning of the hexagram..."
When Hu Bayi explained to Dajinya and the others, Zhao Shucheng had already found several other corresponding bright weapons, namely:
Death Gate Kun, correspondingly, the item is a piece of blood jade.
The wounded door shock corresponds to the wind, and the golden nanmu miniature screen.
Dumen Xun, corresponding to thunder, cloud thunder pattern, Western Zhou Li Gui.
Open the door and dry, corresponding to the sky and cloud pattern box.
Jingmen Dui, corresponding to Yuze, is a sheep bottle.
As these items rotated, the mechanism began to start, and the ground of the tomb suddenly cracked, and there was an abyss below.
"Old Hu, Mr. Zhao, have you made the wrong decision? Why do you have mechanisms?"
"That's right, this is a timer. We must find the corresponding items of the eight gates before the mechanism is started. However, time is completely too late. After all, only the items of Shengmen and Jingmen are left, one is the jade dog, and the other is the Suzaku Candlestick. Lao Hu, one is one for each person!"
With the actions of Zhao Shucheng and Hu Bayi, the eight pieces that were cracked on the ground did not retreat, but returned to their original appearance. As the eight walls suddenly rose slowly.
Zhao Shucheng had no obsession with cleanliness. He took advantage of the mechanism to rotate and directly used his long sword to follow the bottom of the item, cut off the contact with the mechanism, and took down the Ming weapon.
After seeing Zhao Shucheng's actions, Wang Kaixuan couldn't help but feel a little regretful. Why didn't he think of this? If he thought about it, could he get more treasures?
After seeing Zhao Shucheng's actions, Yang Xueli couldn't help frowning, but after looking at the others, she couldn't say anything.
As the sound of the rotation of the mechanism stopped, all the eight walls were withdrawn. Instead, the sound of the mechanism turning came again when the chessboard was originally placed.
Yang Xueli and others looked over there nervously, fearing that there would be some mechanism and would have to go through the test.
However, after the chessboard fell to the ground, it rose up with an ancient box.
Zhao Shucheng walked over directly, opened the box, and saw that there was a tortoise shell inside, which seemed to be the Dragon Bone Heavenly Book.
"The Dragon Bone Heavenly Book?"
Zhao Shucheng looked at the door of the tomb and said to the others: "Stop reading, take the dragon bone heavenly book and Minggui, let's leave here immediately. Li Chunfeng is not that easy to talk to. We took the things but didn't leave, and we were thinking about opening the coffin. Maybe we would really leave us here."
Wang Kaixuan originally wanted to open the coffin to see what treasures were in the coffin. Now that he heard Zhao Shucheng say this, he knew that the situation was extremely dangerous in the future, so he could only give up this idea.
Wang Kaixuan was still thinking about holding the box containing the Dragon Bone Heavenly Book, but Zhao Shucheng refused. Yang Xueli only took away the Dragon Bone Heavenly Book, and the box continued to stay here.
The others were a little puzzled when they saw Zhao Shucheng's actions, but when they saw that Zhao Shucheng had no intention of explaining, they hurriedly prepared to leave the tomb. They also felt that there seemed to be some danger, so they quickly followed.
After Zhao Shucheng and the others walked out of the Nether Palace, they saw that there were many people gathering outside the Nether Palace at this moment, and their faces were very bad.
"Master Zhao, it seems that we are going to have a big fight here today. I just don't know if we can all go out then. If we can't go out..."
When Zhao Shucheng saw Hu Bayi as he was about to give his last words, he snorted and said, "Master Hu, what do you mean? Go out and tell people that I haven't lived enough. I haven't thought I'd buried deep underground so early. Miss Yang, walk in front, take out the Dragon Bone Heavenly Book, and get closer, let's go!"
Yang Xueli was also a little puzzled at first, but when she heard Zhao Shucheng let her walk ahead, and there was also the Dragon Bone Heavenly Book, she walked forward tentatively, but found that the people had no attack on their faces and did not attack, but instead took a few steps back.
