Chapter 494: The Hanged Ghost at the City Gate
It can be seen from the neatness of the lines on it that this chessboard is obviously carefully carved, and it is not familiar with such shoddy things.
The only thing that puzzles me a little is when exactly this chessboard appeared here.
I've been into this chamber several times before, but I haven't seen this chessboard. If it had been here all along, it would have been visible to anyone who wasn't blind, but could it be some kind of mechanism in the tomb?
With this in mind, I walked slowly towards the chessboard. I've been around most of the tomb before, and I'm not worried about any other mechanisms in this tomb, not to mention that the ghost lady lying in the bronze dome has no ill will towards us, if there is any danger, she should have warned me a long time ago.
I looked up at the top of the bronze dome again, the edge of the bronze dome was empty, I couldn't see anything, and I couldn't hear any conversation coming from inside the bronze dome.
If the ghost boy is really the nephew of the ghost lady, then the two aunts and nephews will definitely have something to say when they meet again after more than a thousand years, which can't help but make me feel a little curious.
That being said, I didn't mean to eavesdrop. Since the ghost lady doesn't want me to hear the conversation between the two, it means that the conversation between the two must be very secretive, and I am not the kind of person who has a strong desire to peep, even if I am curious, I will not want to eavesdrop.
What's more, I don't have the courage to eavesdrop on anything, if I anger the ghost lady because of this, I'm afraid that I won't be able to eat and walk around, and maybe I will cause some unnecessary trouble.
Retracting my gaze, I focused on the chessboard behind the bronze dome. Previously, because there was still some distance from the chessboard, I didn't see the chessboard too clearly.
At this time, when I got closer, I realized that this chessboard was really exquisitely made. Not only is the texture on the surface of the chessboard straight and smooth, but even the edges around the board are carved with many exquisite patterns, and each pattern is also carved vividly.
In addition, I also noticed that the black and white pieces on the board are also a bit special, and they are not as simple as ordinary chess pieces.
I took a closer look, and saw that the black and white chess pieces placed on the chessboard were carved very roundly, and when the light of the flashlight shone on them, there was still some crystal clear feeling, which was obviously polished with jade.
Seeing these black and white chess pieces, I couldn't help but be a little surprised, the owner of this ancient tomb is really extravagant to a certain level.
Ordinary white jade is not uncommon, and most of the golden jade clothes we saw before are made of white jade.
But these white jades on the chessboard are different, and they can be regarded as the top white jades. Even after more than a thousand years, these white jades on the chessboard still haven't changed color in the slightest, they still look as white as snow, and they can even vaguely feel the chill emanating from the white jade chess pieces.
Take the golden jade clothes we saw earlier as an example, most of the color of those white jade pieces has turned yellow and dark, and very few of them can retain the original color of the jade pieces.
Jade that retains its original color after a long period of more than 1,000 years does not need to be thought about to know that it is the best jade, and it is basically a rare thing.
To say that although these white jades are relatively rare, they are relatively easy to see, but the black jade used to polish them into chess pieces is really a rare thing, and its preciousness is far higher than those white jade chess pieces.
After a few glances, I didn't think much of it. Regardless of the value of these black and white pieces, they don't really have much to do with me, and I don't want to take them for myself.
Now I am most worried about Li Huiyan's safety, compared with Li Huiyan's safety, other things are not so important.
Besides, there are countless priceless things in this ancient tomb, if I am really so greedy, I am afraid that I will not be able to finish it if I am tired, it is better to save energy and find a way to leave the ancient tomb.
Later, I took a closer look at the layout of the black and white pieces. To be honest, I didn't know anything about Go, but I used to remember that the old director of the orphanage liked to find someone to play Go, and I would go to see it a few times when I was fine, and I still didn't understand the way until several years later.
I don't know if it's because Go is too complicated, or if my brain is not very good, but when I see the pieces on the board, I can't help but feel a little headache.
The situation is similar at the moment, after I looked at the chess pieces on the board a few more times, I also began to become a little dizzy, and even when I closed my eyes, my mind was full of chess pieces, and I couldn't shake them off.
Even though I didn't know much about Go, when I saw the pieces on the board, I could still vaguely feel that it was a very complicated game.
I couldn't help but wonder what this chessboard was here for, could it be that the owner of the tomb was also a chess fan and wanted to play chess with those of us who entered the tomb?
Naturally, things can't be so simple, not to mention that even if the owner of the tomb really thinks so, we don't dare to really play chess with him.
Imagine a person who has been dead for more than a thousand years and suddenly sits across from you and wants to play chess with you.
However, since this chessboard and chess game appeared in the tomb, it proved to be of some use, and it was probably the mechanism that led to the depths of the tenth tomb.
Looking at the complicated pieces on the chessboard, I couldn't help but sigh to myself, with my clumsy head, I couldn't solve the mystery anyway.
If Li Huiyan didn't have an accident, she could have come to see this chess game, and with Li Huiyan's intelligence, she must have an understanding of Go, and maybe she could see something.
It's not that Li Huiyan is smart enough to play chess, but because she knows more about the various mechanisms in the ancient tomb, she may be able to see what kind of mechanism it is from this chessboard.
Looking at the chess pieces on the chessboard, I hesitated again and again, but in the end I still did not reach out and move those pieces.
Until I understand the specific role of this chess game, I still don't dare to move any of the chess pieces indiscriminately, in case I touch some kind of mechanism in the tomb, and then it will not be a joke.
Out of boredom, I thought of Qin Gong again, and I didn't know if he had any knowledge of Go and whether he could see the secrets of this chess game.
Time passed minute by minute, and there was still no movement in the bronze giant ding, and the silence in the tomb looked a little terrifying.
As I stood in front of the chessboard, I could faintly hear a few conversations coming from the ancient well, which made the tomb look less gloomy.
I don't know if it's an illusion, but I can clearly feel that the temperature inside the tomb is slowly dropping. The temperature dropped slowly, but I still didn't feel wrong.
Not only that, but this drop in temperature is unlike anything we've encountered before, not like the temperature in the burial chamber itself, but a feeling from within.
Just like now, I can clearly feel a slight chill coming from my exposed skin, as if something is burrowing into my body.
After a little thought, I immediately understood why this was the case. Originally, this ancient tomb was built in the land of nine yin where the yin qi is the strongest, and it belongs to the feng shui pattern of the land of yin.
And when we entered the ancient tomb, we didn't feel that this ancient tomb was too gloomy, all because of the effect of the Netherworld Grass that could suppress and absorb yin qi.
But now, the Netherweed has been plucked by the Ghostface Spider and placed in my kit. Without the suppression of the Nether Grass, the Yin Qi in the Land of Nine Yin was slowly returning to its normal level, and it was only natural that the ancient tomb was beginning to become ghostly.
I know very well in my heart that the yin qi in the ancient tomb is slowly increasing, and it will not be of any benefit to those of us who are in the ancient tomb.
Although there is more yang energy than yin energy in the body of ordinary people, it does not mean that yin energy does us no harm.
You don't have to think about it to know that when the yin qi in the ancient tomb is thick to a certain extent, none of us can bear it, and our bodies will become weaker and weaker, and even die in the ancient tomb.
This is also what worries me the most now, especially Li Huiyan's current physical condition is worrying.
Originally, she was weakened by the scorpion venom, and she had no power to resist in the face of the yin qi in the ancient tomb, if the yin qi in the ancient tomb continued to increase, even I didn't dare to guarantee whether Li Huiyan could hold on until the moment she woke up.
At this moment, the short figure of the ghost boy appeared again at the edge of the bronze giant tripod, and the ghost lady appeared at the same time.
At this time, the corpse spirit flower on the back of the ghost lady's hand had disappeared, and it was estimated that it had returned to the back of her hand again.
Mrs. Ghost's right hand is holding the ghost boy, and she looks very doting, obviously Mrs. Ghost has already recognized the two aunts and nephews of the ghost boy.
This is naturally very good for us, and if we can use the relationship between the Ghost Boy and the Ghost Lady to help us open the mechanism that leads deeper into the tenth tomb, it will undoubtedly save us a lot of effort.
I only felt a gust of wind blowing beside me, and the next moment the ghost lady and the ghost boy appeared on my left side at the same time.
If it weren't for the psychological preparation that he had already known the identities of the ghost boy and the ghost lady, this alone would be enough to scare ordinary people out of heart disease.
"Are you watching this chess game?" The Ghost Lady asked directly.
"Just look at it, I don't understand it, can you tell me what this chess game is for?" I replied honestly.
"There's nothing you can't say, it's a life and death situation." Lady Ghost said. Please search for this site
