If people are unlucky, they will stuff their teeth with cold water.

I naively thought that Yuan Miao was very talkative, so I followed him to the camp tent, but as soon as I entered, Yuan Yao pressed him to the ground.

Yuan Xin took the lead, and these three people took turns to ask me for a long time, although the questions were still boring questions such as "where did you come from" and "what are you doing", just deal with a few words, but I was depressed about the fat man's affairs, and I didn't want to deal with them at all, so I just said a word, sent me to the other side of the river, and I told them everything.

Probably because of my perseverance, Yuan Xin finally compromised and stopped pressuring me, but instead of doing what I said, he turned around and asked Yuan Yao to tie me up and send me to the rear of Black's pieces to meet their master.

Such a fuss, let alone saving the fat man, even I can't protect myself.

The more I thought about it, the more anxious I became, and I couldn't wait to see the master of Yuan Xin's gang, and stabbed the old guy first to vent his anger.

But when I really saw the old Taoist priest named Yuan Hongzhi, all my anger disappeared without a trace, and was replaced by infinite emotion for "no coincidence is not a book".

I know this Yuan Hongzhi, he is the guy who came to my new home to see feng shui when I was in junior high school.

What's even more coincidental is that Granny Zhang is also with this old way.

When acquaintances met, some things were naturally easy to say, and the old man first told me a lot about the past of his Yuan family's ancestors and grandparents, and then begged me to help him cross the river with tears in his eyes, so that he could die by the side of the Yuan family's fathers.

I really don't know where the old Taoist priest's father died, but I look at the "check" chess piece that occupies the black square of the chessboard. It is estimated that the place I want to go after crossing the river is the "handsome" chess place.

This request is not comparable to the request made by the monk of the Ten Directions, and it is not something I can decide at all, and I have to ask Mr. Li for advice.

But even if Granny Zhang made a guarantee, Yuan Hongzhi and his apprentices still didn't believe me, and didn't agree to let me go back, afraid that I would never return.

And I said that I would take them with me to solve the problem, and the gang was worried that there would be a trap and that I would kill them. Because Granny Zhang found that after entering the underground palace this time, she jumped into the river to find her death and couldn't return to the ground at all. I can't go back to the ground. It means that life is in danger. Yuan Xin's five people wanted to accompany their master to the last leg of the road, but they didn't want to stay in this place forever with their master. Until they are sure that they will make it out alive, they will definitely not let their master die.

To put it bluntly, the initiative is no longer in Yuan Hongzhi's hands. It's all up to Yuan Xin and how the five people decide.

At this point, the matter is deadlocked.

And such a stalemate. It was twelve o'clock that night. The moment when the game resets.

When playing chess with the big guy, I reset the game or something, and I go again, and all the pieces are arranged according to the position and reflected in the actual situation. The game reset in this dungeon is much more automated than on the chessboard.

That's right, it's still a big flood shock, and the sky and the earth will be changed.

It was the first time I had experienced a chessboard reset in the dungeon, and standing on the gate tower of the proposed city built in the dungeon, I saw an endless flood wash over me, submerging everything I could see.

All the surviving soldiers on the battlefield retreated to the downstairs of the "general" city, and it was also at this time that I saw all the people who entered this underground palace.

In fact, the forces here are not as complicated as I imagined, there are only three groups of people in total.

The surname Yuan and Granny Zhang are a group, a total of six people.

Li Chenglong and Wu Ya, who had a relationship before, are together, and there are six of them on their side.

Huang Turnian was with another group of guys I had never seen before, there were quite a few of them, but most of them were blocked outside the tower, and only three people could walk in and stand with us.

The three parties are clearly distinguished, and this is not the first time they have met.

I don't know what happened between them before this, but one thing is for sure, there must have been some agreement between them that led to this game of chess.

And my arrival seems destined to add something different to this game of chess.

Taking advantage of the "monstrous flood" outside, Yuan Xin took the lead and led me, Yuan Laodao and Granny Zhang to the pavilion on the highlands of the safest city, and then he turned his head and beckoned to the other two people, and several people with the main voice immediately came out.

Soon, ten people gathered in the small pavilion, and in the ensuing mutual introductions and arguments, I finally figured out what was going on between them.

First of all, let's talk about the current situation. Among the people present, the first to enter here was the Yuan family, who had been in the underground palace for almost five days. At the latest, the group of policemen led by the so-called Xu team had been in the place for three days. Sooner or later, they all have the same problem now, that is, they can't get out after coming in. Even if you seek death by yourself, after experiencing a period of consciousness gap, you will eventually return to this city in the position of "shogi".

Therefore, the key point that can bring them together is to find a way out of here.

I can understand their feelings a little, because when playing against the big guys, I tried to die in battle and not leave the board, and the result was to stay in the scrap pile as a captured piece, waiting for the next game to reopen.

That is, for some special reason, everyone became part of the game. Death doesn't solve the problem, so we can only see if winning chess can give them a way out.

The second is the origin of these people. All of them entered the palace from various special locations in a city, and their identities were varied. I have seen and talked about Yuan Xin, Yuan Tiangang, Granny Zhang, and Huang Fantian, so naturally there is no need to say more. Among the remaining six people present, the only one I had a relationship with was the captain "Team Xu" in Wu Ya's mouth.

Team Xu is a criminal police officer who specializes in investigating and tracking tomb robbery cases, and this time he is leading a team to arrest a tomb robber codenamed "Cross Snake". He has his own team members. There is also a helper assigned to him by the local police, and a suspect who was brought along the way during the investigation.

The helper's name is Wang Jun, and this Wang Jun is the "big brother Wang Jun" that I often heard Hu Hai mention when I was in the ghost village.

The suspect's name is Lin Xueqiang, and he is a bald monk, which corresponds to his apprentice whom the monk of Shifang mentioned to me before. It was also from Lin Xueqiang's point of view that I guessed that the monk of Shifang was the "cross snake" that the Xu team was going to hunt. The thin and withered old monk pretended to be a monk, but he didn't expect that he was rushing to rob the tomb behind his back. Maybe the wine gourd he gave me to drink, or even the wine in the wine gourd, was stolen from that ancient tomb. No wonder they keep saying that the wine is thousands of years old.

understood the identities of these people in Team Xu. Then the identities of the two people around Huang Futian are very understandable. Lian Deli and Nomura, these two names were mentioned by Huang Futian when he told him about the reason for entering the underground palace, one is Japanese-Chinese, and the other is a native of Japan.

Their identities have been figured out. The contradictions between them naturally surfaced.

Yuan Laodao regarded this underground palace as a miracle left by his ancestors. Outsiders are certainly not allowed to get involved. What's more, it's from the stories he told me before. Yuan Laodao's father died at the hands of the Japanese army invading China. He may be a little more tolerant of a few Chinese when he comes in, but the Japanese can't bear it when they come in. I reckon if he hadn't been in a position to do now. Maybe he would have rushed up and killed the Nomura guys with all his might. Presumably when I met Yuan Xin and they were hanging around in the underground palace before, they were actually ordered by the master to clean up the Japanese.

Yuan Laodao and Nomura, this is a pair of irreconcilable contradictions, feuds!

And there is another pair of contradictions in the underground palace, that is, Team Xu and tomb robbers. Team Xu originally came here to chase down tomb robbers, but with Lin Xueqiang, he was afraid that when he was investigating the case, this person would run away. And when he and Huang Futian met, Li Chenglong explained how could Team Xu let this person go. China's local tomb robbers Xu team will not let go, and the Xu team will not be able to treat Lian Deli and Nomura from afar.

Team Xu and the tomb robbers, this is a contradiction between friend and foe, and if you want to solve it, you can only live and die.

Of course, Team Xu and Yuan Laodao have common enemies, which does not mean that they can live in harmony with each other. As a national public official, Team Xu must be almost the same as Li Chenglong ideologically, that is, he must find a way to report everything in the underground palace to the state for management. And Yuan Laodao and Granny Zhang, as outsiders, have no problem abiding by the laws of the country, but it is not something they want to see if they want to make their secrets that have been passed down from generation to public to the public.

Team Xu and Yuan Laodao, this is a pair of contradictions in ideology and consciousness, which are not easier to solve than the other two pairs of contradictions.

It is precisely the existence of these contradictions that has given rise to the current situation in which the tripartite forces have formed.

I joined it, I couldn't intervene, but I had to face it.

The last thing to talk about is the purpose of these people, which is more complicated than the contradictions between them, but there is a feeling of different paths.

Yuan Laodao was bent on death, and recognized that the "handsome" position on the other side of the chessboard on the other side of the river was his destination, so he wanted to win this game of chess.

Granny Zhang wanted to see the true face of Guqiu's tomb, she had no choice but to give up when she didn't know how to cross the river, but now that she knew the role of the organ in the underground palace, she had the idea of exploring the truth, so she naturally wanted to go to the other side of the river to see it. If you want to see it, there is only one way, to win chess.

Team Xu came to hunt down the tomb robbers, but the ultimate goal of chasing the tomb robbers was to keep the ancient tomb protected and handed over to the state management. The purpose is clear, but if you want to achieve it, you must first be able to get out of here. How to get out, at present, the only way is to win.

Wang Jun came here to help Team Xu hunt down the tomb robbers, but in the course of the operation, he found that this underground palace was linked to a problem that had plagued him for more than ten years. He wanted to find out the reason for Hu Hai and Xu Lang's disappearance, and insisted in his heart that the answer he was looking for was hidden on the other side of the river in the chess game's underground palace. Rush over, win the game, and everything will fall into place.

Lin Xueqiang was brought into the underground palace by Team Xu, but even if there was no Team Xu, he himself would have to enter here sooner or later. I listened to him tell what happened to him, his daughter disappeared ten years ago, and the only clue he had over the years to find her was the underground palace that the monk of the Ten Directions told him. I don't understand how the monk of Shifang fooled him, and made him form an obsession like Wang Jun, obsessively wanting to go to the other end of the chess game and win this game of chess.

Huang Futian is the most indifferent of all people, in his consciousness only needs to find a few valuable treasures is enough, as for what Gu Mound Tomb, the legend of Yu Wang Ding, and the secret of exploring the formation of the underground palace, he doesn't care at all. But until now, he hadn't gotten anything of value at all, and the few bronze medals he had stolen earlier had been given to others because of the situation. For a tomb robber, if there is no treasure in the tomb, this trip is in vain, and it is a wise choice to stop as soon as possible. But helplessly, he wanted to stop but couldn't get out, so he could only follow the crowd to win this game of chess with this kind of person and find a way out of here.

The rest of Lian Deli and Nomura, their purpose seems to be irrelevant, these people are running for Yu Wang Ding, but they haven't even seen Yu Wang Ding's hair, and they have already become turtles in the urn. If it weren't for the fact that they needed to act as cannon fodder in this game of chess, I guess I wouldn't be able to see these two people now.

Everyone's goal can be summed up in the word "winning", and now they are pinning their hopes on me.

They were right, and no one knows the game better than I do.

But what they don't know is that the reason why I'm here is actually to deal with them.

At the beginning, before Mr. Li started the practical class, he talked about what was the key to the end of the course, which was to win chess.

But this winning move means that we win, we win, which means that these people are going to lose.

How does it feel a little ridiculous that they put their hopes of winning on someone whose goal is to make them lose?

At this moment, the flood was still raging outside the city, and I stood in the middle of the pavilion, looking into the distance.

The first time I stood in the position of "general", I realized that "general" turned out to be able to view the whole game of chess, no wonder I was an outsider to watch the big man play chess, the dog was able to easily give instructions to other chess pieces.

Maybe when the water recedes outside, I can see the chess pieces on Mr. Li's side, right? )
