In front of the chessboard, Zhang Gong and Zhu Gong began to reason about the chess steps. With the repetition and failure again and again, just when they were dazzled and ready to give up, Qin Gong and Ma Kai's ground exploration work ended, and Ma Kai shouted in the corridor: "Professor Chen, the secret room of the Tibetan organ has been determined, you come and take a look." ”

There was no need to call, and everyone walked to Ma Kai's side. Seeing that everyone was coming, Qin Gong took the notebook and gestured to Professor Chen: "Professor Chen, now it has been determined that the hidden hole behind the first stone gate mechanism, the machine crossbow mechanism and the second stone gate mechanism has been determined. The entrance is the area in the middle, and I've seen it, and the gaps in the stone walls in this area are also vertical, and the gaps I cut out were filled with stone powder in the original gaps, and they were used to cover up the entrance to the mechanism. ”

Professor Chen looked at the filling in the gap, took out a magnifying glass from his backpack, looked at it, sniffed it again, and then licked it and said: "Well, it is made of ordinary stone powder and glutinous rice, first use this as a binder to build the stones, and then use the stone powder to smear on the outside, so that it looks more real, and at the same time dig out the traces of the gaps on other stones that need to be camouflaged, making people look like the stones are built by mistake with each other, in fact, this is also the place without three hundred taels of silver, this ancient tomb built in the mountain, The structure of the mountain is also relatively simple, except for the passages, the temple of the underworld is excavated from the mountain, and there is no need to build it with stones. ”

Zhang Gong grinded the filling cut out of the gap and participated: "That's not what I said, this wall made of stones is a continuation of the passage, which is a reinforcement, extending to cover the opening of the mechanism, the design is very ingenious, on the other hand, since it has reached this position, the mechanism is of little value, and it is the same thing under proper cover-up." ”

Ma Kai looked at Professor Chen, and saw that he was not ready to give instructions for the next step, so he took the initiative to ask, "Professor Chen, what should we do next?" ”

"Take a picture of the archive, then use a marker pen to mark the location and order of each stone, and you're up to you."

"Okay, then let's dismantle it according to the marking procedure, you guys are busy, I'll leave it to me."

After speaking, Ma Kai took out a camera from his backpack to take pictures and record the stone wall, Feng Weiguo saw that Ma Kai had started his work, so he explained the work to the local staff, and arranged all of them to be under Ma Kai to do the dismantling work.

Continuing the reasoning of the endgame, everyone had completely lost their direction, Qin Gong had no interest in chess, and he couldn't help much, and the progress of the work stalled. Professor Chen looked at everyone's emotions and thought about it and said, "No, please ask for foreign help, first ask Zhijun, he knows a lot of people in society, and see if there are chess masters among his fox friends and dog friends." ”

After speaking, he dialed Chen Zhijun's phone: "There is something to see if you can help." ”

"Professor Chen, don't be polite, if you have something to say, even if you really can't do it, I want to do it for you!"

"I don't talk to you poorly, do you know anyone who is good at chess?"

"Yes, professional chess gamblers and tournament players all know, why, do you need their support?"

"There is an endgame, I will shoot it for you on WeChat now, you send it out to see, how this chess path changes, the result is two, black chess wins and draws."

"Okay, please."

After Professor Chen posted the endgame picture on WeChat, everyone gathered around the huge stone statue to watch.

This stone carving is about 3 meters, a mighty general, with his left hand crossed at his waist, his right hand holding a sword, and his eyes are round and looking ahead.

Zhang Gong looked at the stone carvings that everyone was concentrating on, but not at the nine-palace diagram under his feet, and asked a little anxiously: "What do you think when you look at the nine-palace diagram, everyone brainstorms and talks about your thoughts." ”

Qin Gong glanced at Zhang Gong and said, "This is your strength, don't ask us." ”

"I can only know that this is my strength, but how to break this game, you guys will participate."

"If the nine-house diagram is represented by numbers, it is 4, 9, 2 from the top, 3, 5, 7 in the middle, and 8, 1, and 6 below, whether it is horizontal, vertical or diagonal, the result adds up to 15, but what should be the result of this design now, this is a question."

Seeing that Qin Gong was involved in the topic, Feng Weiguo also continued: "Didn't Professor Chen say it just now, it may be related to the four elephants on the door, if that's the case, how should this be broken?" ”

Qin Gong shook his head and denied: "Such a nine-palace diagram should result in 15, according to the posture of the four elephants on the door, it is 1, 7, 9, 3, and the result of four numbers is 20, it shouldn't be like that." ”

"Maybe we've overlooked something, maybe we've misinterpreted what the door suggests?"

"This may be possible, now let's look back at the four elephants on the door, on the left is the green dragon and the red bird, the direction is east and south, the right is the white tiger and the xuanwu, the direction is west and north, the red bird flies to the north, the lack of the middle, it can be explained," Qin Gong suddenly opened his mind, and said quickly and excitedly: "The result should be the south of the red bird, the east of the green dragon, the west of the white tiger, and then the middle of the white tiger and the Xuanwu is the northwest, the number corresponds to 1, 7, 3, 4 four, the result is still 15." ”

Zhang Gong didn't react, and asked Qin Gong: "Why is it not due north, but northwest?" ”

"Suzaku's head is facing the top, not the middle like the other three, which means that it should go to the north, if you really don't want the north position, that is, Xuanwu, then there is no need to carve it out, Xuanwu is also head to the middle, indicating that it is used, that is, through this I guess it is northwest."

Lao Zhang looked at Professor Chen, who was still thinking, and asked, "Oh, I see, then try it?" ”

Without waiting for Professor Chen to answer, Professor Chen's mobile phone rang, and when he saw that the number was from Chen Zhijun, his intuition told him that the chess game could be solved!

Sure enough, after answering the phone, Chen Zhijun said: "Old man, the chess game is a master to solve, he said that this endgame is not the result of the active attack, is the result of white chess luring the enemy deep, if it has to correspond to the real battlefield, that is, the black chess side was attacked by someone, and then chased out in an ambush, but both sides have serious losses, the key is that the sneak attack of the white chess side is actually a tiger away from the mountain, people are desperately trying to kill your lair, so they have been secretly leaving a few inconspicuous soldiers to continue to advance." He doesn't know much about history, but he understands the chess game, white chess moves first and black chess will lose, and if the master duels against him, black will only draw the game and will not win, he sent me the steps and results, and I will give it to you now. ”

As soon as I hung up the phone, Professor Chen's WeChat rang, and when I opened it, I saw two pictures: one was a draw diagram of the endgame, and the other was a scribbled chess trend.
