There's nothing wrong with it

Chapter 153 The Ancient Chess Game
"Okay, okay." Chu Xiu said impatiently, "You can stay outside and wait for us!"

Fortunately, senior brother Xiuwen has long been familiar with things like spells. Chu Xiu, relying on the impression of the general's tomb in Zigui's mind, teleported the two of them into the tomb in an instant. "Fortunately, your memory is still very detailed, otherwise we might be buried in the mud." Chu Xiu sat down leaning against the sarcophagus as he spoke. Sure enough, there is a very powerful barrier outside the tomb. It takes a lot of power to break through that barrier.

"It seems to be the same as when I came here before." Zi Gui himself conjured up the light ball lighting and said, the faces on the wall are still so creepy.

"Could there be any secret passages or secret doors that we haven't discovered?" Chu Xiu climbed up with one hand and combed his hair, and said.

"If we can all find it, then wouldn't the tomb robbers have found this place long ago?" How can it be so easy to find it?

"Even if there is a secret door, if you can't break through the barrier surrounding the tomb, you won't be able to enter here." Chu Xiu said with a sigh.

"Huh?" Zigui suddenly noticed something strange, "It's so strange here."

"what happened?"

"It should be a closed space inside, but there is enough air. If there are some ventilation holes, then the things inside should be oxidized, and may even be eroded by rainwater. It is impossible to preserve it so well. Zigui quickly glanced at the wall made of human faces, rubbed his arms, and said, "Tell me, will this tomb be the same as the cave we found?"

"You mean someone used some kind of magic to stop the time here 2000 years ago?" Chu Xiu said in surprise.

"Isn't it possible?" she asked back.

"It's not completely impossible..." Chu Xiu pondered for a while, noticed the words on the sarcophagus, and said, "There are some words engraved here too."

"Well, I read it before. I thought it was an epitaph or something to record the deeds of the tomb owner's life. After reading a part, I found that it is not." Zigui replied.

"Then what did it say? Just like the stele outside, is there any feeling of reluctance?" Chu Xiu asked.

"No." Zigui didn't quite remember the specific content, so he squatted down and looked at it carefully, and said, "It's written like the way to play Go, and there are some chess games and so on."

"There is no chess record." Chu Xiu said.This girl doesn't think he doesn't understand anyway and wants to deceive him, does she?
"It's not for drawing." Zigui hurriedly explained, "It's for writing."

"Written in...?" This is the first time I heard that the chess game is written in words!
"Yeah." Zigui nodded and said, "I don't know much about Go, and I don't understand the meaning of many technical terms."
Chu Xiu frowned puzzled, and said, "But why did you carve so many chess records on the sarcophagus? Is there any meaning? Could it be that King Gui described the battle fought by General Zining as a chess game?"

"So complicated?" She disapproved, "It doesn't need to be so troublesome at all. Even if the stories about General Zining are handed down, most of them say that he was brave and good at fighting. Even if he clearly wrote down every battle he won, it's nothing!"

"Then what reason did you say?" Chu Xiu sat back on the ground and asked back.

"Perhaps Gui Wang simply wanted to record these chess games," she said.

"Why write down these chess games?" Chu Xiu asked again, "Are these chess games more important than General Zining's life story?"

Her fingers carefully traced the incisions on the sarcophagus, and said slowly: "Maybe for King Gui, it might be that way."

Chu Xiu didn't speak, just looked at her and waited for her to continue.

"General Zi Ning and King Gui grew up together, and he was also King Gui's Go teacher." She told Chu Xiu, "From what I know about General Zi Ning's past, King Gui seems to miss his childhood and General Zi Ning very much. The days together. It is very likely that he engraved all the chess games he played with General Zining here."

"Looking at Huangfu's cool appearance, I didn't expect him to be very emotional in his previous life." It's just that there is something wrong with the way of expression.

"What are you talking about? Brother Huangfu is also very emotional now." She said strangely.The Huangfu Lv she knew was not only very emotional, but also very intense, even though he looked very cold.

"Well, it seems to be." Chu Xiu agreed vaguely, "The records of these chess games alone can't provide any clues, let's take out the embroidery and have a look."

"Okay." She took out the embroidery that showed the map from her backpack, and said, "But we can't even read the map, so what secrets can we discover?"

"Not necessarily!" Chu Xiu scoffed.There is no reason why Xiuwen can see something, but he can't find anything.

Zigui couldn't be bothered to care about his childish temper, as long as she tried to ignore the gloomy faces on the wall, she could still observe the tomb with a relatively calm mood.By the way, she can take this opportunity to put the blue stone back, so as not to be arrested for suspected tomb robbery in the future.She removed the blue stone hanging from her phone—this stone had saved her several times, and although Gray Fleece kept telling her that the stone had dangerous powers, she felt that the stone was like a part of her body Just as kind, I really feel a little bit reluctant.But she still decided to "return things to their original owners".Maybe General Zining was also saved by this stone back then, so he tied it to his armor?Putting together the known past of General Zi Ning, it seems that the reason for the appearance of this blue stone is completely lost.Where did General Zining get such a stone?
She wanted to tell Chu Xiu to leave here first if she couldn't find any clues, but seeing Chu Xiu staring at the embroidery as desperately as the map, she was sure that if the chopstick didn't find anything, don't Want to tell him to leave here and go out.She looked at the words engraved on the sarcophagus boredly, and suddenly thought, if all the chess games engraved on the sarcophagus were drawn as chess records, would there be any clues? If you let others find it, and you don't plan to find it again, you will definitely not leave any clues or mechanisms for others to have a chance to find it.So what does this map mean?Is it just to mark the location of General Zi Ning's tomb?If it was Gui Wang, who she once thought was a tyrannical and stupid king, he might still do such boring things, but she gradually discovered that in the memory of General Zining, Gui Wang was a very assertive person who had nothing to do with "faint" The person with the means, the mysterious antique appraiser Yin Hui who helped her lie several times in front of her cousin Qi Huai even said that King Gui killed General Zi Ning to save General Zi Ning.Alas, she really couldn't figure it out more and more.

Xiuwen sat leaning against the tombstone of the general's tomb, leisurely admiring the stars in the night sky.

"You seem to be in a good mood!" said a sour voice.

"Because the stars are beautiful." Xiuwen replied very naturally, not caring that the other party didn't show up at all.

"Hmph, are you in a good mood because the stars are beautiful?" the voice said disapprovingly.

"Can't you be in a good mood because of the beautiful night view?" Xiuwen asked back with a smile.

There was a "rustling" sound from the nearby bushes, and a boy in white came out and stared at him angrily.The white clothes were stained a deep gray among the dark bushes, but those star-like eyes were extraordinarily bright. "You are quite a human being." The boy raised his chin and said.In this kind of place, you only hear voices but don't see people, yet you are not afraid at all.

"Hi, Xueyun, are you here for an outing?" Xiuwen waved to the boy and greeted him with a smile.

"Who are you?" Xue Yun looked at him warily.

"Who? Ordinary people!" Xiuwen said with a smile that seemed puzzled.

"You know my master, right?" Xue Yun glanced at him and said.

"Of course!" Xiuwen replied without thinking.

"Sure enough...!" Xue Yun took a step back in surprise and fear.

"Because I know there is such a person." Xiuwen said with a smile.

Ah...ah?Xueyun was stunned, and shouted: "How can this be considered acquaintance?!" Looking at Xiuwen's smiling face, he gritted his teeth and said, "Are you kidding me?"

"Because you played Zigui before, I was just reciprocating courtesy." Xiuwen smiled lightly and said indifferently.

Xueyun didn't approach, he instinctively felt the danger from this man named Xiuwen. "What are you doing here?" Xueyun asked.

"I should have asked, right? This is near my house." Xiuwen laughed.

"I don't know who you are, but don't try to hinder the master's plan!" Xue Yun warned first.

Xiuwen smiled and said, "What plan? If it's something that hurts Junior Sister, even someone like me will stop it to the end."

"Hmph, do you think you can do it?" Xueyun raised her chin and said.

"Since you think I can't do it, why warn me in advance?" Xiuwen asked with a smile.

"Hmph." Xueyun glanced at him and disappeared in front of him.

Xiuwen leaned back on the tombstone as if nothing had happened, "The stars tonight are really beautiful." Suddenly, he frowned, and he stood up "Whoosh", "Junior Sister...!" At this moment, a silver light flashed However, Chu Xiu suddenly appeared beside him—but his face was very serious. "Xiao Xiuxiu, what's wrong?"

"Zi Gui disappeared." Chu Xiu said.

"Little Xiuxiu, what are you talking about disappearing?" Xiuwen asked puzzled.

"Zigui disappeared from the tomb." Chu Xiu repeated.

"Sure enough..." Xiuwen whispered.

"What are you talking about?" Chu Xiu asked without hearing clearly.

"It's nothing." Xiuwen smiled lightly, "Then we're going to find Junior Sister now?"

Chu Xiu took a deep look at him.It's strange, usually in this kind of situation, he would at least ask what happened - although Xiuwen's weird behavior is not uncommon, but for the junior sister he cares about, his reaction seems to be too indifferent.

Zigui looked at Chu Xiu who was sitting on the ground.The enchantment surrounding here is really powerful, and the chopsticks that have been looking amazing all day are tired like this.To stay here until he recovers?It's really boring, why don't you take a look at these games to pass the time.Gui Wang and General Zi Ning grew up together and have so many memories, such as playing ancient football. Why did they pick a Go game and engrave it on the sarcophagus?
