449. Chess game
Even if all the legends are true, even if the tomb is buried with the King of the Golden Trick and the nine thousand dead soldiers who accompany him for burial, even if he has the Golden Recipe Token to summon the nine thousand Yin soldiers, and even if the current technology can really resurrect all the people who have died in the tomb for thousands of years, what use can it be? With only 9,000 dead soldiers and a token, can they beat the Lord's country back after changing it several times?
It's a joke, a joke from the first number one of the days.
Therefore, logically speaking, the idea of resurrecting King Jin Jue and his 9,000 dead soldiers to recapture Jiangshan Sheji does not make sense at all. Even if there were people in the world who had remained loyal for thousands of years, and who had sworn allegiance to King Jin Jue for generations, they would never think that there was a foolish hope of recovering the country after learning about the technology and weapons of the 21st century.
It also excludes careerists with ulterior motives.
No one with a normal brain would think that as long as they find the tomb of King Jin Jue, as long as they get the ghost order of King Jin Jue, as long as they resurrect those nine thousand Yin soldiers, they can do whatever they want to be the king and dominate.
So, there seems to be no solution.
But if the tomb of King Jin Jue is really as meaningless and worthless as we analyzed, then the tomb robbery between Yin Saburo and Su Mosen five years ago seems to be meaningless, but think about it the other way, how can Su Mosen and the people of the Yin family do meaningless stupid things, not to mention that it is still such a dangerous action, I heard that several people died, and Yin Saburo fell out with his family to get into that big fight.
Thinking about it this way, the conclusion is reversed: there must be absolutely important value in the tomb of King Jin Jue, which can make many people go down and steal it at the cost of their families and even their lives!
It's just that we really can't figure out what that value is.
Returning to the puzzle in front of him, Xia Dongyi claimed that there were 81 paintings, but in fact there were only 36 paintings, plus the lawyer's house there were only 37 paintings. Therefore, it is reasonable to think that he did not really hide important clues in the painting, but only pretended to do so, in order to achieve the goal of elicit those who have the greatest interest in the ultimate goal of the clue and will do whatever it takes.
All of Xia Dongyi's behaviors are in the layout, whether people or things are just props or chess pieces in his hands.
He's luring the snake out of its hole.
Those one or two "snakes", that is, the two buyers who have been desperately buying his paintings over the years, are very important to him.
But we began to get confused again, Xia Dongyi took so much effort to lure out the two "snakes" hidden in the shadows and had a fanatical passion for his paintings, what the hell did he want to do.
Thinking back in this way, the ultimate goal of the clues in the painting is really likely to be the legendary tomb of King Jinjue.
I thought that my brain was about to explode, if Xia Dongyi was in front of me, I guess I wouldn't be able to control my fists.
What the hell are you doing?
Xiao Hai sent Qiao Lanxiang upstairs to rest, and then moved the tables and chairs in the dining room with Lao Lazy, vacated a vacant space, and went to the study to get a few pieces of blank paper, cut them to the same size as the photos, write the missing numbers, and rearrange them with the photos, this time the photos were mixed with white paper, nine rows and nine columns, from one row to eighty-one, densely spread on the ground.
Then we racked our brains to try to decipher this inexplicable clue of drawings, numbers, sequences, and hidden hollow circles, and we couldn't think of a reason, and the lazy thought that something must have been overlooked, and the most basic elements were missing. So I went and took the painting out and examined it, and looked at it over and over again.
Xiaohai and I didn't help, we still stood in the restaurant and looked down at the pile of debris on the floor that I didn't see for a long time.
Looking at it, my brain pumped, I grabbed the marker and squatted down to draw a circle in the center of each white paper used to replace the photo, because there is this circle in one of the original paintings, and we have to consider that there are also more than 30 other original works, it may be a circle, or it may be a square, or it may be some other shape, all in all, it is absolutely the most important, otherwise those buyers only need to get the photo or imitation, why bother to spend a lot of money to buy the real thing.
At this time, Xiaohai suddenly asked me, "What is there that is made up of lattices and circles?" ”
My mind was clogged, and when I thought about it, I thought of chess, where the pieces are round, and the chessboard is full of squares. The same goes for chess. In short, it's chess, and you can't think of anything else. I understood what she meant as I answered, she was wondering if this whole puzzle would be a chess game, and if you want to finally crack the secret, you have to put the chess game out first.
If this is really the idea, then the most likely one should be Go, because the chess pieces of Xiangqi have words, and Xia Dongyi does not write the words in the circle, so there is no way to express the meaning. In Go, there are only black and white pieces, and he can completely use a hollow circle instead of a white piece and a solid circle instead of a black piece, and each painting represents a grid.
But the problem is that the chessboard is not right.
I've never played Go, but if I think about it on my knees, there are more than eighty-one squares on the board.
The lazy man heard my discussion with Xiaohai, and felt that it was a reliable direction to think, so he threw away the painting in his hand and said that he drove out to buy a pair of Go and came back to study, I scolded him for being stupid, took out his mobile phone and came to Baidu to Baidu A picture of the Go board, three people met head to see, row by row, column by column, and the final conclusion was three hundred and twenty-four grids, which was completely inconsistent with the number "eighty-one" set by Xia Dongyi.
Just when I was a little desperate and wondered if I had made a mistake at the root, a new way of thinking immediately popped into my head.
The entire board of Go is square, with four adjacent grids forming a slightly larger grid, and eight smaller squares forming a larger grid.
In this way, it is logical that the whole chessboard is exactly eighty-one squares with a large grid made of four adjacent squares!
So the idea of Go is probably right.
The problem is that the idea is completely useless, because we only have one authentic work in our hands, and we don't know whose hands the other thirty or so have fallen. Moreover, even if he got them all, it would be completely useless, because Xia Dongyi only painted thirty-six paintings, plus the rainbow waterfall that he painted after being released from prison, there were only thirty-seven paintings in total, which was more than half of the total.
So it's a problem that can't be solved.
is still the previous sentence, Xia Dongyi didn't plan to really express anything or convey any information through painting, he was purely using this as bait to fish, and those plots such as drawing down the things he had experienced before because of his bad memory were all his performances, in order to let those people hidden in the shadows completely fall for him.
And we just need to figure out the possible meaning behind this, and there is no need to waste time on cracking the information.
So that's the end of my research on painting.
The next thing is to find a buyer, I told the lazy to take this real painting in my hand early tomorrow morning to find a connoisseur in the circle to explore the love line, pay attention to hide the identity, don't be in a hurry to sell the painting, and wait for the highest, most ruthless and fierce, the big buyer who has to ask for this painting appears and then sit down and talk.
I'm going to talk to them in person, face to face.
I also want to see what kind of fairy or demon Xia Dongyi has been fishing for so many years and attracting snakes for so many years.
Everything was packed up, and it was already past ten o'clock in the evening, and the three of them finally realized that they were hungry, hurried to get food, and prepared to go out tomorrow.
Because I was going to get up early the next day and go to Jiangcheng to talk to He Zhiqin about wanting to get medicine for Qiao Lanxiang, I was ready to go to bed after seeing the time. I couldn't sleep because I was lazy, so I went to the study on the second floor to read all kinds of materials. Xiao Hai walked outside to the courtyard to make a call, although he couldn't hear the content of the conversation clearly, but judging from the tone, the other end of the phone must be Bai Yafeng, and the relationship between the two people is closer than before, Xiao Hai's voice is as gentle as the wind in this night.
She talked about the phone for a long time, I gradually fell asleep, there was a lazy upstairs, there was a small sea outside, I felt very secure, I didn't know how solid I slept on, and I slept until dawn when I was woken up by the sound of birds outside the window, and I didn't even have a dream.
Ever since I learned that I had minerals in my room that had all sorts of weird effects on my body and also hurt my brain, I hadn't been back to my bedroom, either sleeping on the couch or on the floor. On this day, I slept on the sofa, facing the TV, and when I woke up, it was not long after dawn, because the curtains were not opened, the living room was still dark, and the lamp next to the coffee table was on, so I could see the picture on the black TV screen clearly, and the screen reflected the furniture and people in the living room like a mirror.
Early in the morning, my brain cells hadn't woken up yet, and when I suddenly saw such a strange picture, I was frightened on the spot, and I jumped up, and when I saw that it was Qiao Lanxiang and remembered that she had lived in my house for several days, she was about to become a family member emotionally, and quickly apologized. While apologizing, he slapped himself on the head, and then rushed to the bathroom to take a shower, thinking that this day was really messy.
At breakfast, I said to Xiaohai: "Jiangcheng, I'll go by myself, it's nothing big anyway, just talk to He Zhiqin, you don't have to follow me, I'll send you to the hospital in a while, you go to see the old man, if he is not in a good condition, he will take care of him in the hospital for a few days, and if he is okay, he will take a taxi back to take care of Lanxiang." ”
Xiao Hai nodded in agreement.
Qiao Lanxiang didn't agree, and said, "You don't have to worry about taking care of me, I can take care of myself, you just need to be busy with you." ”
I smiled at her and said, "I know everyone is fine, but I just think that I have to ask a few words when I go out, otherwise I don't seem to be serious." ”
I said this as a joke, but my heart was very sad, because I don't know what's going on, since I got involved in these things, I always have a sense of ominous, I feel that I may die at any time, so every time I say goodbye, there is a sense of goodbye, I have to be solemn, in case I really die suddenly, so what is left for them in the end is a serious face.
