I was slightly stunned: "Uncle Shi, do you think so too?" ”

Huang Yixian turned his head to look at Bai Sanyuan, who was chatting with the fat man, put his index finger to his mouth, "shhhhhh Let's go in and have a look. ”

The two of us raised our legs and crossed the half-foot-high threshold and walked into Qiyunguan.

As far as the eye can see, the interior is a mess, with half of the roof collapsed, broken tiles and broken wood everywhere, and even weeds on the floor. In the center of the temple is a shrine that has been smashed, and there is almost nothing on the shrine except for a huge spider web. On the ground next to the shrine, there are some smashed Taoist statues.

I looked down, and suddenly, a statue thrown in the corner caught my eye.

Out of curiosity, I stepped forward and picked up the statue, which was a black clay statue, but strictly speaking, it was not a statue, because only a head and half of the upper body remained, which must have been smashed during the Cultural Revolution.

The statue looks quite special, it is actually a fierce and evil appearance, not like the statue of the Sanqing Patriarch that is common in ordinary Taoist temples, I wiped off a thick layer of dust on the statue, and took a closer look at it in my hand, feeling as if I had seen it somewhere, but I couldn't remember it for a while.

Huang Yixian came over, he glanced at the statue in my hand, and wondered, "How can there be such an ugly statue!" It's not like the Tao, it's like a demon. ”

Hearing Huang Yixian say this, my brain suddenly jumped, and I thought of where I had seen a similar statue before, that is, in the old house in Matou Town! At that time, after subduing the camel guarding the old house, we walked into the hall and saw such a fierce god and demon statue enshrined on the shrine in front of the hall, Wen Qingshan thought that it may be the totem god of the Black Demon Sect - the Black Demon God, if this is the case, then this Qiyun Temple is very likely to be related to the Black Demon Sect! Thinking that Li Zicheng may also believe in the Black Demon Sect, this seems to further confirm that there is indeed some kind of connection between Qiyunguan and Dashun Treasure.

Thinking of this, my heart was excited, and without saying a word, I immediately put it in my satchel.

Huang Yixian was puzzled and asked, "Stinky boy, what are you doing in your bag with such a broken statue?" It shouldn't be that I've been messing with Boss Wen for a long time, thinking that this is still an antique! ”

I told Huang Yixian what I had discovered, and after he heard it, he was so shocked that he couldn't speak for a long time.

The two of us searched inside the temple again, but found nothing else, and then Bai Sanyuan shouted outside: "Huang Daochang! Shi Yu! Have you finished reading it? I hurriedly replied, "I've read it!" Let's come out! ”

The two of us walked out of the Taoist temple, and Bai Sanyuan led the fat cow to wait outside the Taoist temple.

Seeing the two of us walking out of the Taoist temple, the fat man asked curiously, "Boss, what are you looking at inside?" How did you get in for so long? He asked, stretching his neck to look inside the temple.

I nudged him lightly and said, "Just break the Taoist temple, there's nothing to see!" Let's go and see the whole picture of Chessboard Valley! ”

Bai Sanyuan led us to the edge of the cliff, when we walked to the edge of the cliff, I only felt a gust of wind coming, which made my body shake slightly, I hurriedly stabilized my body, and then looked down at the cliff, and suddenly felt a dizziness, this is not an ordinary height, if you fall from here, you have to break your bones. However, the view knife here is excellent, and the entire chessboard valley is really unobstructed.

Bai Sanyuan pointed his hand to the valley and said, "Looking down from this Qiyun Peak, do you think the chessboard valley looks like a chess game?" ”

I squinted my eyes and stared at the chessboard valley for a while, not to mention, the entire chessboard valley is square, it is really like a huge chessboard, and the small hills scattered in the valley are like chess pieces, so it seems that the name of the chessboard valley can be described as veritable.

Huang Yixian turned to me and said, "Stinky boy, you still plan to watch the scenery here!" Why don't you take out your camera and take a few pictures, standing on the edge of this cliff is really terrifying! ”

Only then did I react, hurriedly took out the camera from my satchel, and took more than a dozen photos of the chessboard valley below the cliff. After taking the photo, we turned around and were about to leave, Bai Sanyuan said: "In the past, there were seven old houses in our village, which were built on seven hills. ”

said unintentionally, the listener had a heart, Huang Yixian listened, and suddenly turned his head: "What did you just say?" Seven chess pieces? When he said "seven pieces", he raised his voice and drowned out his voice.

I immediately understood what he meant, the endgame engraved on the inside of the lid of Li Zicheng's coffin, there were only seven chess pieces left!

Bai Sanyuan didn't expect Huang Yixian to react so much, he was stunned for a moment before he said: "I just said that it looks like, of course it's not a real chess ......."

Before he could finish speaking, Huang Yixian couldn't wait to ask: "Then do you remember which hills the seven old houses were built on?" ”

"Of course I do! That's it! And that ......" Bai Sanyuan pointed down the mountain, but we didn't understand which mountains he was talking about.

It's a pity that the photo hasn't been washed out yet, and there is no way to mark it, I was about to say that after the photo is washed out, I will ask him to help us mark it, after taking a look at Niu Fatman, but suddenly I have a new idea, I said to Niu Fatman: "Niu Fatman, can you draw the topographical map of Qipan Valley, and then ask Brother Sanyuan to mark the location of the seven old houses on the map?" ”

The fat man glanced at the bottom of the cliff and said tremblingly, "Draw ...... It's okay to draw, but ...... But looking down from here, I ...... I'm dizzy......"

"What is there to be afraid of! Aren't we all there for you! Let's draw it! ”

The fat man had to take out a pen and paper from his satchel, find a relatively flat stone to sit down, put the backpack on his thigh, and drew on the white paper with a pen.

This boy loves to paint, and has an unusual talent in this regard, although he is timid, but as soon as he picks up the brush, it is as if he has changed a person, the timidity on his face is swept away, his legs are not shaking, and he is engrossed in it.

He drew for nearly half an hour, and the topographic map of the chessboard valley was finally drawn, and when he showed it to us, everyone was dumbfounded, where is this topographic map, it is simply a landscape painting! It's almost the same as what we've seen.

I couldn't help but sigh, "Oh! I knew you could draw so well, why did I carry such a heavy camera! ”

Huang Yixian handed the topographic map to Bai Sanyuan and said, "Brother Sanyuan, you can mark the specific location of the seven old houses." ”

Bai Sanyuan took the picture and looked at it, thought for a while, took a pen and drew a circle on it, and after a while, it was marked, and handed the picture back to Huang Yixian, Huang Yixian held the picture and looked at it for a long time, suddenly patted his head, and said excitedly: "That's right!" That's right! That's the endgame! ”

Bai Sanyuan didn't know what Huang Yixian was talking about at all, and asked in a daze, "Master Huang, what endgame are you talking about?" ”

Huang Yixian realized that he had missed his mouth, and hurriedly said, "No...... Nothing, I ...... I mean, it looks like an endgame. By the way, you know how to play chess, right? He digressed from the subject.

Bai Sanyuan smiled: "We are people from Chessboard Valley, why can't we play chess!" Everyone in our village is a chess master! My dad almost never lost. ”

"Really! Then I will go down the mountain later, I must have a few games with Second Master Qi! Huang Yixian finally bypassed the topic, he carefully folded the drawings and put them in his satchel.

Because it was noon, and I had crossed the mountains and mountains along the way, my stomach was already grumbling with hunger, Bai Sanyuan took out the rice balls with rice dumplings he brought, although the rice balls were already cold, and there was nothing to eat, but I felt that it was extremely delicious, and I ate it in one go, and Huang Yixian and the fat man of the cow were also very happy.

After eating, our strength recovered a lot, and we sat down and rested for a while, and then walked down the mountain.

When a few of us returned to the village committee's residence, it happened that Seabeard and Cheap went to the village infirmary to take medicine, leaving Wen Qingshan alone at home.

As soon as he got home, the fat cow, who was already too tired, went back to the room and fell asleep.

Wen Qingshan immediately asked me for a camera, saying that I would rush to Sanyuan Township and wash out the photos as soon as possible, but before I could take out the camera, Huang Yixian said on the side: "Don't bother with that, the topographic map has been drawn." ”

He took out the topographic map of the chessboard valley drawn by Niu Fat Man from his satchel and spread it out in front of Wen Qingshan, Wen Qingshan looked at it, was slightly stunned, and asked, "Who drew this?" ”

Huang Yixian said: "It was painted by your stupid apprentice." ”

"The soldier still has this ability!" Wen Qingshan was a little surprised.

He held the topographic map and looked at it carefully for a while, then pointed to the mountains marked with circles on the map and asked, "These places are going to be circled?" ”

Huang Yixian said: "These mountains are circled by the circle, which is the location of the old Bai family house in the past, there are seven Bai old houses, distributed in seven mountains, it is said that a master of the Tao arranged a feng shui bureau according to the topography of the chessboard valley. Boss Wen, take a closer look, is this so-called Feng Shui Bureau familiar? ”
