Chapter 25 Capture the Island - Chess Array

☆☆☆

Under the stone slabs behind Teng Chuliang and Hong Qili, two stone slabs popped out to the left and right. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Chris thought to himself: This is Brother Dragon, Brother Dragon, like an open butterfly knife.

The two stone slabs were folded backwards and placed diagonally upwards on the opposite platform. And the dragon body that folded down suddenly raised its head, and a sandwich stone slab stretched out from the top of its head, folding one by one to form several layers of folded corners, like a staircase on the opposite platform.

Only then did the two slowly walk upwards and easily reach the opposite side.

After reading it, Chris knew that excellent psychological quality is the key to passing the test.

She applied for a second round of bridge crossings and asked if she could travel with three people. got a definite answer from Teng Chuliang, and she invited the Qin officials to cross the bridge with her and Xiong Daiying.

Walking on the folding bridge is really scary. Chris made the right move, and found that the bridge under his feet was actually very strong, of course, he was afraid of it when it changed. She looked out at the abyss, thought about the flying repeater, shrugged, and moved on.

Finally reached the other side of the abyss, and she felt relieved.

After crossing the bridge, Chris was pleasantly surprised to find that the exit from their second left actually corresponded to the platform on the penultimate floor. The top floor in the center of the circle is visible, and if you walk around the platform, you can look around the three floors below.

At this time, Ning Yifei, Yin Chen, and Yue Yu'er had also come over under the guidance of Teng Chuliang and Hong Qili. Chris praised them for their composure and crossing the bridge. She suddenly remembered that she didn't know how Ruoshui crossed the bridge, and turned her head to look, but she didn't see any trace of him.

Just in the next round, it was a group of three martial arts people. Walk to the first corner, one person passes, the two dragon's mouths are wide open, the first person needs to go further, and the last person needs to take a step back to let the dragon's mouth close. When the second person passed, the third person saw the dragon's mouth coming, and in a panic, he actually stepped back and took a wrong step.

Before the onlookers could exclaim, the dragon's head of the first dragon fell down rapidly, and the man fell down with a wail, while the whole stone slab of the second dragon slowly flipped to one side, and the first two people stood on it, and when they thought that the slate would stand up, they were afraid to die, and rushed straight to the stone slab in front of them, not caring at all about stepping on any gossip directions. This time it was even worse, the dragon turned faster, and one person was thrown straight into the air outside, and he listened to the "whoosh" crossbow fire, ten thousand arrows pierced the heart, and he was shot alive into a hedgehog and fell down the cliff; the last man happened to use a pair of iron claws, and he grabbed the stone slab by the iron claws and hung it in the air.

Teng Chu said in a cool heart: It's really a wrong step. stepped on the wrong side at the first corner, and changed the meeting to respond to the four sentences in the dragon shaking formula: "The head of Tianyi Taiyi dragon falls, the dragon line is just like water surging, the Tianguan arsenal faces on both sides, and the left and right come from the dragon to greet each other."

Sure enough, seeing that the dragon brothers appeared from the tail of the dragon, they each went to the female dragon body, and with a "snap", it was really like a folding knife, and the hanging person was slapped to pieces, and he didn't even scream.

Seeing that all the people on the other side of the strait showed frightened expressions, Teng Chuliang thought to himself: There is actually a way to save the people who took a wrong step at the first corner, and if they took a wrong step at the second corner, the five dragons would really be hopeless!

Hong Qili asked: "If something happens now, I don't know how many people will die in the back, I wonder if we can carry them over?"

Teng Chuliang said: "I don't know, then let's try?"

The two of them crossed the bridge according to the gossip steps, picked up the two women, and tried to walk a few steps on the folding bridge, but they didn't see anything unusual, and the two of them crossed the bridge with confidence. Looking at it now, those old men who don't dare to cross the bridge by themselves are not afraid that they can't pull off their faces, and they are begging the two big men to take them across the bridge.

After everyone had passed, the Shangguan brothers and a few other martial arts people were willing to walk over by themselves.

Everyone arrived at the disk platform in the Organ City. This fourth level of platform is not very large, with only one building at each corner. Teng Chuliang tested it and said that there was no mechanism found, so everyone dared to walk around.

After a while, someone exclaimed as they circled to the other side of the fan-shaped disc.

Wang Shu and Chang Yutong walked over and asked, "What's the matter?"

"I see the old castle master!" said the man, "on the bottom floor." ”

The old man with the green beard looked again, but there was no sign of anyone.

"I really saw it!" he went into the house. ”

There was indeed a dense pile of houses on the bottom floor.

Changyu Channel: "It may be true, and there are others who have arrived here before us." ”

Wang Xuan nodded, and said to the old man with the green beard: "The other female Dao Masters may already be here, let's find a way to meet them." ”

Chang Yutong looked at the ceiling and asked, "The question is, the top layer is still some distance from the top, how can we get out?"

"That's a problem!" Wang said, "Anyway, it's all up there, let's go to the top to find out." ”

Teng Chuliang and Hong Qili had already reached the edge of the platform on the top floor at this time, and they shouted to the crowd below: "The two rooms on the left and right are the way up!"

When Wang Shu and the others heard this, they immediately walked to the corner of the room.

Yin Chen took out the double flying and hung a single one on the edge of the upper platform, the two layers were only five or six zhang apart, and he saw that there was no crossbow arrow flying out, and one flew on the platform. Teng Chuliang saw that he had made double flights several times, and he already knew that this person was probably not "Zhang Changbei".

As Chris and Xiong Daiying walked from the other side of the room to the top floor, a figure emerged from the shadows.

Chris fixed his eyes on it, Zhang Ruoshui didn't know when he changed into a martial arts person's dress, and he must have crossed the bridge in the crowd just now.

Zhang Ruoshui said softly: "Master, the situation here seems to be very inappropriate, you have to leave as soon as possible." ”

Chris nodded and said, "Well, I also think something is wrong with this city!"

"There is no hidden arrow mechanism on this disk, the red shadow has come up from the lower level! he has something to say!" Zhang Ruoshui waved his hand, and the red shadow also appeared from the shadows.

This is the first time he has seen the red shadow, and his tone is calm, and he said, "If there is something, say it!"

"That Lord Li is not dead!"

"What?" asked Chris, confused.

"Lord Li did not die after being slapped by the Hong gang leader. "After the hall collapsed, the blood shadow and I fell together. Suddenly, there was a sound in the dark, and a sarcophagus fell from mid-air into the ruins, and I and the blood shadow saw it with our own eyes, the sarcophagus opened, and Li Qi stood up solemnly, he was indeed injured, but it was not fatal. The two of us followed him into this city, but neither of us noticed and lost it!"

"It doesn't matter if he's Li Qing or Xi Ying," Chris said softly, "Can't let him escape!

"Master Ma has clamped down on the water master, and he has taken control of Shamen Island!" Zhang Ruoshui said, "Yun Zhuqi, who was told by the master, is also on the island!"

"Oh?"

"Don't worry, master, there is a stone shadow staring at her! she took so much trouble to let the beggars go to the island to disrupt Shamen Island, I guess she seems to have some deep hatred with that 'Lord Li Yan', and naturally she won't let him run away. ”

Chris nodded, thoughtfully: According to Ruoshui's meaning, staring at Yun Zhuqi, Li Qing can't run.

Xiong Daiying coughed lightly, suggesting that outsiders were coming from behind.

Red Shadow snorted coldly at him before he stood up and hid in the shadows.

Zhang Ruoshui no longer hid, pretending to be an ordinary martial artist.

The three of them walked out, and there were a pair of stairs on each side of the two half-fan roundhouses, and when they saw that many people had gone up to the topmost roundhouse, they followed.

His instincts told Chris that this was supposed to be the last hurdle to get out, but the situation was quite unexpected.

I saw that this big round room had a brazier lit, and the fire was bright and bright, and the room was brightly illuminated. The house is divided into two floors, the upper floor is a circle of viewing platforms, which are circular in shape, and the lower level is a strange square chessboard.

In the center of the chessboard is a square with two small fish made of stones; in the four corners of the chessboard there are four smaller squares, and on the route that connects them diagonally with the large square in the middle, four circles are drawn, and a bird is drawn in each circle; in the middle of the four sides of the chessboard there are ten "L" shapes drawn upside down, opposite to it, and the four sides of the central square are four inverted "T" shapes; there is a recessed chamber on the north and south sides of the chessboard, in which six rectangular huge stones are placed.

Some of the people who came first looked around the circular platform to the chessboard below, and many more gathered in the middle of the south viewing platform.

The more Chris looked at the chessboard below, the more familiar she felt, and she always felt that she had seen it somewhere, she suddenly patted her head, pointed to the chessboard and shouted, "Liubo (4)!"

Wang Shu came out of the crowd of people, looked at Chris with raised eyebrows, and said, "You actually know about Liubo Chess?"

Why does Chris know about Liubo chess? Because when she was studying industrial design in college, the teachers always asked students to go to the Metropolitan Museum of Art to copy masterpieces and find inspiration from art varieties around the world. She remembers that the commentary app on her mobile phone said that Liubo is the ancestor of a type of chess with arms, such as chess, flag chess, shogi, etc., but its rules have long been lost.

She walked towards Wang Xu, and it turned out that there were really two portrait sculptures sitting opposite each other in the crowd, a rectangular table, with six game chess sets placed on one side of the table, a chessboard in the middle, and a game game of throwing chopsticks on the other side.

Wang Shu joked: "You don't know anything else, do you know anything related to drinking and gambling?"

Chris pouted dissatisfied, and said, "I only know that it's called Liubo, and I don't know how to play it!"

At the Metropolitan Museum, she had only seen clay dolls and chessboards sitting on chess, but she had never seen the entire set of chess sets. Looking down carefully, there were many squares in the square lacquer box, large and small, rectangular squares, and in her right hand were twelve large rectangular blocks, which she knew should be chess pieces. But why are there ten smaller rectangles on one side?

She pointed to the small cubes and asked, "What are these twenty cubes?"

Wang Shu said: "Twelve large pieces are chess, twenty small pieces are called elephant direct food, six bamboo baskets used in the game, twelve long and thirty bamboo baskets are used to calculate the chips for eating fish." There is also the 18-sided cocktail, which is now commonly known as the dice. This place in the center of the chessboard is called water, and two fish are placed in the water. One side has six chess, chess is everywhere, and eating fish in the water is the way to play in later generations, and it used to be to kill the opponent's 'owl' chess to decide the winner!"

She was puzzled and interrupted Wang Xu: "What does it have to do with how we get out of these six games?"

Wang Shu raised his finger and said, "I'm afraid I still have to ask Brother Teng!"

Chris looked around and didn't see Teng Chuliang and Hong Qili.

After a while, the two of them walked in from outside.

Teng Chuliang said loudly: "I have already inspected it below, on the north side of this top layer, there are three layers of copper platforms stacked together, which should be able to extend out one by one, extending the distance of three layers, just to reach the top of the mountain on that side, and we can go out!"

Wang Shu said: "Could it be that the mechanism is connected to the chessboard, and it is necessary to win three games before making a number?"

Teng Chuliang nodded and replied, "The three-layer copper platform is controlled by a set of gears and mechanisms, and it needs to be rotated three times before the platform can be stretched out. ”

Hearing him say this, everyone talked a lot, played three games of chess, and then left, everyone was overjoyed.

"How the hell is this six-game chess formation broken?" asked Chris impatiently.

Wang Shu said: "It must be under the small chessboard first, and the big stones on the big chessboard will move with it!"

"Lord Wang's guess is right, you must be very familiar with the Liubo formation, and you still need your help in this chess game!"

Wang Shu shook his head and said, "This official is familiar with the formation of the platoon, but there is nothing he can do about the Nabo Bureau!"

Chris couldn't understand what the two were saying, so he asked, "What kind of arrangement, what game?"

Wang Shu explained: "According to legend, these six games of chess originally originated from the military formation used by Wu Cao (5) to practice the arrangement of troops, once won a battle, when celebrating, he put down the military formation, and his subordinates debated the victory or defeat, the mood was high, the atmosphere was hot, Wu Cao saw this, so he changed the art of Bo Lu into a 'Xiang Opera'. Elephant play is a war play, and chess pieces are also called chess. The elephant is the 'elephant' of the number of elephants, and the chess should be made according to the easy reasoning and the gossip. ”

Chris asked, "How is this chessboard related to gossip?"

"It is easy to have Tai Chi, which is to give birth to two rituals, two rituals to give birth to four elephants, and four elephants to give birth to gossip. Wang Shu said, "Look at the chessboard, is there a hidden gossip map, the two small black and white fish in the central water represent the two yi, these four dots represent the four elephants, there are eight directions around the side to represent the eight trigrams, the four corners are yin, the four sides are yang, and the center is Taiji." If you look at whether these four dots are connected to each other as a circle, the outer square and the inner circle, isn't it just a chessboard? On this chessboard, it is said that there are 12 curved roads, but there are also the doors of life, death, calamity, and blessing. One hexagram turns into eight trigrams, eight eight and sixty-four hexagrams, and each hexagram turns into six hexagrams, a total of three hundred and eighty-four hexagrams. However, Wucao used "Three Changes" to arrange his troops, that is, three gossip changes. (To be continued.) )
