Chapter 294: The Chessboard
Climb the mountain and view the tomb of King Ji.
Fan Li once went to the Mausoleum of Emperor Qin and saw the magnificence of the underground palace and the majesty of the twelve golden men, not to mention the magnificence of the Afang Palace and the mystery of the pseudo-immortal realm of the emperor's mausoleum!
He has also read in books, those Han Emperor Mausoleums that were stolen by Dong Zhuo are also amazing and magnificent masterpieces.
The emperor is raised by the world.
When he was born, he was extremely noble, and after death, he was extremely honored.
But the tomb of King Ji in front of him is a completely different scene.
Barren.
Lonely grave.
Rotten tombs.
Broken coffin.
Yes, even the emperor's coffin was broken.
Fan Li and his party did not dig up the tomb and open the coffin, and when they approached the tomb of King Ji, they found that the cemetery had not been sealed at all.
"This ...... Grave dug up? Bai Nineteen wondered.
Outside of chess, her knowledge is not much better than that of ordinary women.
Without waiting for Fan to leave, Huang Longshi shook his head and said, "It shouldn't be, there are no traces of robbery in the tomb, it's more like a ...... It's like ......"
He didn't know how to go on.
The tomb of King Ji never looks like it has ever been sealed.
In the grave, the coffin is parked and exposed at random, and even if you look closely, you can see that the coffin lid is not very tight, as if it was barely covered.
Everything in front of me is incredible.
The tomb of King Ji is no more than ten meters long, no more than five meters wide, and only about three meters deep.
If it weren't for the monument erected in front of the tomb, and it was in such a fierce place, even Fan Li didn't believe that this was really the tomb of King Ji.
Such a shabby, leaky, and dilapidated cemetery turned out to be an emperor's mausoleum, and it couldn't even be completed and sealed?
Boom?
No matter what happened before him, after his death can be described as desolate and bleak, without the majesty of the emperor.
The three of them observed the tomb and found that in addition to a broken coffin, there were several sets of bones lying horizontally and vertically outside the coffin.
The years eroded.
In an unsealed tomb like this, after thousands or even tens of thousands of years, the bones of mortals should have turned into dust.
However, the bones are largely intact.
Fan Li speculated that this said at least two things:
1. The deceased had good cultivation in front of them, and their bones could withstand the corrosion of time more than mortals.
2. Nanchao has been in an absolutely closed state for a long time, and no humans, birds, or beasts from the outside world have ever arrived here. For example, the beast bones that Fan Li saw in the sea of fog, probably never a beast had ever walked out of the sea of fog alive.
"Or ......"
Bai Nineteen hesitated, and her gaze occasionally turned to the tomb of King Ji, full of disgust.
"Let's take a look around? Maybe it's a fake tomb, a suspicious grave or something? ”
"Anyway, how could the king's tomb be so shabby?"
Bai Nineteen's words failed to move the two men around him at all.
Fan Li carefully observed the tomb and refused to let go of any detail.
Seeing that he was silent, Bai Nineteen gradually became annoyed and irritable.
"Hey!"
"What the hell do you mean?"
"Didn't you hear me? I really don't want to be here for a moment, but we're still ......."
Bai Jiu didn't finish his words, but he saw Fan Li jump into the tomb.
She was stunned and hesitated to shut up, neither wanting to leave alone nor going down with Fan Li.
Huang Longshi did not hesitate, and immediately followed into the tomb.
"Jin Gong, what did you find?" Huang Longshi asked in a low voice.
"Look."
Fan Li pointed to the coffin that had not been fully covered, and then to the bones that had fallen sideways next to the coffin.
"These bones should have died first, and they were brought to the grave and placed in the tomb."
"Then the body of the owner of the tomb entered the coffin."
Huang Longshi nodded again and again when he heard this.
"Exactly."
"No matter which dynasty or generation in ancient times, or what kind of customs, the mausoleum was dug first, and then placed the burial people, objects, and sacrifices."
"Finally, the tomb owner entered the coffin and sealed the soil."
As Huang Longshi spoke, he suddenly felt that something was wrong.
"Sealing the soil?"
"Why don't you seal the soil?"
"Digging up the mausoleum, placing the burial companions, and putting the tomb owner in the coffin, all these things have been done, why not do the last step and let the deceased rest underground?"
Bai Nineteen listened to the grave and felt that this topic was really boring and worthless to discuss.
"What's so strange about that?"
"Maybe Ji was a faint king, and the people at that time hated him, and deliberately did not seal the king's tomb and let him die in the wild?"
Bai Nineteen was confident in his reasoning.
Hum!
Since Nanchao is a prisoner country, and Ji is buried in the Jedi, it is not a good thing to think of him.
No matter how glorious it is in life, it is natural to be spurned after death.
However, Bai Nineteen found that Fan Li had an undisguised look of contempt on his face after listening to her remarks.
Even the thin Confucian Huang Longshi trembled at the corners of his mouth, as if he was disdainful, but he didn't dare to show it.
"What? I'm not right?! ”
Bai Nineteen was very annoyed.
If it weren't for Fan Li being her inner demon, she would have slapped it a long time ago.
"Not really." Fan Li said lightly.
"Good!"
"I'm listening, what does the Duke of Jin have to say!"
Bai Nineteen sneered.
She didn't believe that Fan Li was so young and his cultivation was so low, his insight could be better than her own?
"First of all."
"Since we entered the South Nest, we have repeatedly encountered the ruins of the ancient country."
"There are farmlands, houses, city-states."
"Although the ruins of the ancient kingdom of Nanchao have gradually blurred due to the passage of time, we can still see the orderly and social stability of the past."
Fan Li paused slightly, and Bai Nineteen snorted coldly.
Be in apple-pie order?
Social stability?
So what, it's not the destruction of the country.
"Look at the tombs again, there are people buried after death."
"The mourners were either their companions, or their princes, or their citizens, whatever their status, they were all moved into the grave after their deaths. It can be seen that these people's hearts before their lives should be willing to accompany the funeral of King Ji. ”
"After all, if you are not willing, even if you are alive, you will never be able to serve the king underground after death."
Bai Nineteen couldn't refute it, so he continued to be silent.
It's just that she was disdainful in her heart, thinking that Fan Li said these nonsense, what does it have to do with being retaliated against after Ji's death?
"Ahh Xiaosheng understood! ”
Without waiting for Fan Li to continue, Huang Longshi had already come to his senses.
Fan Li glanced at Huang Longshi appreciatively and motioned for him to talk about it.
"King Ji was imprisoned in the south nest, and the people followed him here."
"In the last years before the death of King Ji, no matter what happened, he must have let the people of the royal family survive a period of smooth weather and peace for the country and the people."
"Therefore, the people of Nanchao will not be jealous of King Ji, and are even willing to be buried after death."
Hearing this, Bai Shijiu already understood that Fan Li was right.
She was red-faced, but she couldn't accept this reality anyway.
It's not the reality that King Ji is loved by the people, but the reality that Fan Li is more knowledgeable than her, and even Huang Longshi is smarter than her.
How is this possible?
He is the holy master of chess in the Daci Dynasty!
There are only two stinky men around, and they are both better than themselves?!
"Good!"
"Good, good!"
The more Bai Nineteen thought about it, the more angry he became, and he had to die to the end!
"Then you explain and explain, why is the tomb not sealed by the tomb of King Ji, who is loved by the people?"
"What about his people? What about his ministers? What about his concubine? ”
"All dead?"
"No one has sealed the mausoleum of his beloved majesty?!"
Bai Nineteen's question actually made Fan Li silent.
Seeing that he couldn't answer, Bai Nineteen finally felt a little angry.
Hehe!
Fan Li is nothing more than that!
"Holy Lord, maybe you're right."
After a while, Fan Li spoke.
Bai Nineteen's face was confused: "What? Anything right? You make it clear. ”
Fan Li sighed and said slowly: "Perhaps, it is because the people of Nanchao have died that no one has sealed the land for King Ji. ”
"Poof!"
Bai Nineteen was stunned for a moment, and then laughed out loud.
"Hahahaha!"
"The more you talk about it, the more ridiculous it gets!"
"Fan Li, listen to what you're talking about?"
"Because all the people are dead, and there is no one to seal the land for the king?"
"Then this seat asks you, if all the people of Nanchao are dead, who will dig the grave for King Ji? Who carried the burial for the king? Who is it that buried the body of King Ji in the coffin?! ”
After Bai Nineteen finished speaking, there was another smug laugh.
Fan Li was calm.
He didn't get angry because of the ridicule of the chess master, and his emotions were out of control.
Even, he looked at Bai Nineteen's calm gaze, as if he was sighing silently, sighing that this woman was so shallow and stupid.
"Perhaps...... Did the king do these things himself, and then lie in the coffin until he died? ”
Huang Longshi cautiously spoke, and Bai Nineteen's laughter stopped abruptly!
The air, as if frozen, also froze.
On the barren mountain, there is no wind, but the chill is biting.
Bai Shijiu swallowed a mouthful of saliva with difficulty, wanting to refute, but her intuition told her that Huang Longshi ...... No, Fan Li was right.
But!
In the whole world, there is such an unbelievable thing?
Ji, a generation of ancient kings, is so desolate?
He digs a grave for himself?
He placed the funeral goods for himself?
He buried himself in a coffin!?
"I ...... You...... He ......"
Bai Nineteen opened his mouth and stammered three words, but he couldn't speak.
Her mind was disorganized, and she didn't know what to say.
Fan Li said suddenly: "Holy Lord, the tomb of King Ji has been found, how to find out the chess game next?" It's your mission, right? ”
"Got it."
Bai Nineteen's face was gloomy.
She took out a white jade box, the size of a palm.
The jade box opened, and inside it was a white cloud of Go.
"What is this?" Fan Li asked knowingly.
With his Jindan realm cultivation, he could also clearly feel the faint spiritual power on the white clouds.
So, this is Yunzi in a certain pair of Go Lingbao?
Wrong!
Fan Li looked at Yunzi more carefully, and found that its otherwise round surface had many tiny pits.
Every Confucian scholar in the world is a professional connoisseur of cultural relics.
Fan Li, who had inherited the original owner's knowledge, almost immediately recognized that the potholes were not recent.
They are all traces of time!
This is the wear and tear that has accumulated little by little over the endless long years!
Fan Li couldn't help but ask, "Could it be the ...... of King Ji?"
Bai Nineteen nodded: "This chess piece can be determined to come from the King of Arms chess game." ”
"How to use?!" Fan Li couldn't wait to speak.
It's a pity that Bai Nineteen didn't know.
"This pawn got this piece by accident."
"The chess pieces and the chessboard are born with a pair, and this seat is guided by the chess pieces to lock the position of the South Nest."
"Therefore, this seat is determined, and the chessboard of the King of Trees is in the South Nest."
"It's just that the closer you get to the South Nest, and even after entering the South Nest, the more blurred the perception of the direction of the chessboard becomes."
Bai Nineteen said, his face showing confusion.
She wasn't lying.
With the guidance of the chess pieces, Bai Nineteen came to Nanchao for the first time, almost thinking that he was about to obtain the Ancient Secret Treasure.
As a result, when she crossed the sea of fog, she completely lost her perception of the direction of the chessboard.
If it weren't for that, she might not have invited Fan Li to come with her.
Bai Nineteen had a faint intuition in his heart that the mysterious chess game left over from ancient times would never have been able to appear without the presence of the first person in the world.
Perhaps, she is not worthy?
Thinking of this, the hatred for Fan Li in Bai Shijiu's heart was inexplicably a little heavier.
The first person in the chess world, it should have been her.
"Fan Li, what do you think is in the coffin of King Ji? Will it be accompanied by a funeral chessboard, chess games and the like? Bai Nineteen asked with some expectation.
It turns out that she doesn't even know this?
Fan Li glanced at Bai Nineteen with a strange expression.
"White Holy Lord, with your and my identities, is it too rash to go here lightly for an ancient relic who doesn't know anything?"
Bai Nineteen's face froze!
She wanted to say, if it weren't for you Fan Li becoming the demon of this seat, why would this be so?
It's just that the relics of the ancient emperors, how many people in the world can resist their temptation?
"I feel that it is necessary to open the coffin and check it." Bai Nineteen forcibly changed the subject.
The more noble the woman, the better the face.
After she finished speaking, she didn't wait for Fan Li to answer, but strode to the coffin of King Ji.
"Wait ......"
Fan Li was shocked and was about to dissuade him.
This woman's arrogance was beyond his imagination!
Where did she get her self-confidence, her lack of reverence for ignorance?
It's too late.
When Bai Nineteen held the chess piece in his hand and stood almost close to the coffin of the King of Ji, a sudden change occurred!
The chess pieces flew away from Bai Nineteen's palm almost instantly, emitting a strange purple light, soaring into the sky, flying towards the rolling sea of angry thunderclouds in the sky of Nanchao!
"This ...... What's going on? Bai Nineteen muttered.
No one answered her questions.
Because as the chess pieces flew into the sea of clouds, an even more spooky picture appeared!
The sea of angry thunderclouds that covered the entire Nanchao sky disappeared.
But instead, the whole sky becomes a huge chessboard!
A bloody chessboard!
On the chessboard, there are nineteen vertical and horizontal roads, and there are nineteen long rivers.
The clouds that have fallen on the chessboard are even more mountains!
Fan Li clearly saw that the cloud that flew into the sky from Bai Nineteen's hand gradually manifested and became extremely huge.
Finally!
It also became a giant mountain and landed firmly on the chessboard!
The country is chess!
Fan Li was deeply shocked, this was the first time since he had crossed over that he felt the true miracle of this cultivation world beyond the mundane!
In his ears, there was Bai Nineteen's trembling and excited voice.
"I ...... I...... Can I get this chessboard? ”
Fan Li turned his face and looked at her with a retarded gaze.
This look clearly says: Are you worthy?
Bai Shijiu was stunned for a moment, and immediately understood that Fan Li was despising himself!
She was annoyed and angry, but she was helpless!
It's just that Bai Nineteen is absolutely sure that if he has such a chess treasure and comprehends the endless mysteries in it, he will be able to immediately break the demons in his heart.
Even, cultivating to surpass the eldest sister and ascend to the immortal realm on the ground, it is not a problem!
The code words are close to 10,000 per day, and half of them are deleted, deleted, and modified.
I can't live this life anymore, I really can't live anymore...... I want to break off, I want to hit the wall.
