Chapter 31: Chess Opponents (4)

"How many more stones?"

Lee Yun-rin said that there was only one round stone left that could be used. Liu Dehao put it in the fifth column, kicked it out, and the stone rolled quickly, except for the first "car" that could not trigger the mechanism, the other nine pawns all caused the two walls to squeeze in opposite directions. This also proves Liu Dehao's conjecture that pairing in pairs is the condition for triggering the mechanism.

"Go over and follow me as I say, that's the only solution."

Several people walked through in a team and successfully passed the pass under the leadership of Liu Zhangzun. However, the difficulties behind it are even more unimaginable.

"Everyone, keep up!"

"Be careful." Wang Fugui took You Xiu's hand and walked up the steps.

Liu Dehao carefully measured this huge sarcophagus, with double dragons surrounded by clouds, vermilion lacquer, and jade dragon's eyes, like two red dragons hovering in the air.

"Finishing touches." Liu Dehao muttered.

Wu Nian asked what the finishing touch meant.

"A carving technique in which the body of the dragon is first outlined with hollows and engravings, and then the dragon's eyes or horns are decorated with gemstones, which was rare in the Han Dynasty. However, this dragon coffin also just shows that the main owner of this coffin is not a general, but a prince. ”

"Isn't this chess king very powerful? How to use the second dragon coffin? After all, it is the princes and kings with such high merit. ”

Liu Dehao said: "It is said that the chess king has lived much longer than ordinary people, and there is no specific record in the history books when he died. However, it is rumored that this person practiced immortal Taoism in his later years and lived for more than 100 years, which can be regarded as a Taoist ascending immortal. And Emperor He died young at the age of twenty-seven, that is, when the chess king died, Emperor Han He had already died. Of course, the chess king can't enjoy too much glory and wealth. What's more, this person acted mysteriously, and the funeral naturally wouldn't be too fanfare. ”

Wang Fugui said to Liu Dehao: "You have to think so, the gold and silver saved by the chess king during his lifetime are also indispensable, so there may not be any good treasures in this coffin!"

"Our minds are full of treasures, and we rob tombs, not just for money, but also to study their value."

"But now our most important task is for money! Time is very urgent, and we have to raise military funds quickly in order to meet Tong Wen and rescue the emperor. ”

"That's right, but do you think there's probably no mechanism in there?"

Wang Fugui nodded: "Yes, that old guy said that he wanted to play chess with us, and we only passed a level."

You Xiu reminded: "Don't call the owner of the tomb 'old guy' or anything like that in the tomb, otherwise you may be the next one in the middle of the tomb."

"Many offenses, many offenses." Wang Fugui bowed to the coffin twice.

At this time, Li Runlin didn't know what mechanism he had touched, and the entire tomb was illuminated, and the murals on the wall and the eight burial coffins around him were particularly conspicuous. In particular, the murals, whether they are shaped or colored, can be called amazing.

"I know, this painting must be the exploits of the tomb owner, the chess king, during his lifetime." Wang Fugui pointed to the mural and said: "Look, this is the chess king who helped Emperor Han and Emperor Han to wipe out his relatives, led a large army to surround the imperial city, and fought bloodily. This is his retirement from the rivers and lakes, practicing chess, looking at these paintings, most of them are depicted chess, and most of his life is dedicated to chess. ”

You Xiudao: "Could it be that Your Majesty is the chess king alive?"

"Wang Fugui, you have finally grown a little bit today." Liu Dehao said: "You look at this picture, the portrayal is particularly detailed, the background is sad, it seems that you can see the different moods of the two people, at this time it should be in the period of Emperor An of the Han Dynasty, foreign rebellions, and the war lasted for 11 years. Emperor He of Han ascended the throne at the age of 9, and when he was a teenager, he was already ambitious. In this mural, the Liu family, which the chess king had worked hard for half his life, gradually declined, and the chess king who was declining was even more heartbroken, so he finished the last game of chess and began the road of cultivation. The frescoes in the future, without mentioning chess, are a few paintings, and they complete the last part of the life of an old prince. ”

Wu Nian said: "Love for chess and loyalty to the royal family. But I had to give up, and letting go was a relief. ”

"Not good! This is ......" Liu Dehao frowned and looked at a prototype altar.

Everyone couldn't see anything special, but Liu Dehao's face had changed, it was not a circular altar, but a wellhead, but the top was covered. Liu Dehao lifted the lid, took a sharp breath into the well, and said with a solemn face: "It's broken, this is a stagnant well...... Run! ”

Just when everyone wanted to run back, I didn't know what mechanism was set off, and the original first mechanism was restarted, and the walls on both sides closed to the middle, blocking everyone's way back.

Liu Dehao twisted his bow and arrows, ready to attack, and Wu Nian and others also drew their swords. Wang Fugui didn't take a weapon, but casually touched a short stick in the burial pit.

After a silence, Wang Fugui first broke the awkward atmosphere: "Why are we doing this?"

"Is there a mountain here?" Liu Dehao asked.

"Yes."

"Is there living water here?" Lee Yun Rin asked.

"The Hoop River is living water."

"Then why is this well stagnant?"

"It's not connected to the underground river." Wang Fugui said: "Is it man-made......?"

Li Runlin asked, "What is there without mountains and water?"

Everyone suddenly understood the secret: "There are mountains and no water, a place to raise corpses!"

Liu Dehao said: "This chess king is really crazy, in order to guard his tomb, he does not hesitate to sacrifice feng shui to raise his corpse." He pulled out some yellow charms, as well as a small peachwood sword.

"What is this?"

"For warding off evil spirits, raise corpses, raise zombies, ordinary zombies, paste charms to suppress them." Liu Dehao looked at the top of the well, there was a hanging candle stand, there were nine candlesticks, he took out the compass: "The well is water, the hexagram is the sky, the hexagram is the sky, the hexagram is the upper and the lower hexagram is the overlap of different hexagrams, the big murderer."

Wang Fugui said: "It's over, it's over, it's a bad omen!" If the zombies come, we're dead! ”

Liu Dehao threw the peachwood sword to him: "Demon suppression artifact, take it." A few of you come over too, and each of you will take a yellow charm. I'll go and post the talisman, and rest assured that we can change the hexagram of the great murderer. ”

"Change? Hexagrams? ”

"There is a bad omen here, we must change the hexagram, go into the water for the kan, if you can fill in the soil, the kan hexagram becomes the kun hexagram. Upper and lower Kun...... Slow down...... The upper and lower hexagrams are still overlapping, and the signs of the great murderer still can't be changed. ”

Wu Nian took the yellow talisman, held the sword, and looked ahead: "I already feel a trace of murderous aura...... Don't panic, even if it's a zombie, we can defeat it. ”

"How can this hexagram be broken?" Liu Dehao was anxious, and was raising his head, when he suddenly understood: "Nine candlesticks, I understand!" If the Qianqian hexagram becomes a detached hexagram, the upper hexagram is separated from the lower hexagram, and the water and fire are both good and half fierce and half auspicious, which is the only way to solve this difficulty. ”

"What the hell are you talking about, we don't understand." Wang Fugui said: "Tell us the method, what should we do now?"

"Dividing the hexagram is fire! Light the nine candles on it, and dry it away. Wang Fugui, where are you standing...... Yes, bend down, very good, do me a favor, don't move, stand up! ”

Liu Dehao started running, jumped up with Wang Fugui on his feet, grabbed the candle lamp, and swayed in the air.

"Oh my waist!" Wang Fugui was trampled on and covered his waist.

"Wu Nian, throw the torch up!"

Liu Dehao took the torch, lit the nine candles, jumped down, and accidentally smashed it on Wang Fugui's body, Fugui's waist should be completely wasted.
