There's nothing wrong with it

Chapter 154 Another Secret Tomb

——No one is more important in the black and white world here. Every piece plays a role, so chess is so profound.

She remembered that King Gui said that this was what General Zi Ning taught him.Maybe these chess games really have some meaning in it.If you understand these chess games, can you also understand what Gui Wang is thinking?She squatted in front of the sarcophagus and began to study the chess game written on it.It's really hateful, in her previous life she was able to teach others to play chess, but now she only knows the rules of Go, and she doesn't understand the techniques that are too profound.She carefully read the writing on one side of the sarcophagus one by one.Finally found the "first game".She took out the small notebook she carried with her, and drew the game record in the notebook step by step according to the above.White wins the first game, then White wins the second game, and then White wins the third game...Huh? "One, two, three, four..." She counted, and there were a total of 49 chess games engraved on the sarcophagus, all of which were won by white chess?Why is the chess game that specifically picks white to win engraved here?The only go game she remembered that General Zi Ning played was that Gui Wang won. At that time, General Zi Ning used white chess.And after that chess game, King Gui said that General Zining lost to him on purpose, that is to say, in King Gui's eyes, General Zining's chess skills are much higher than his own, and it is absolutely impossible for him to lose.She still remembered the situation at that time, General Zi Ning and Gui Wang seemed to take the chess box very naturally, and they didn't seem to have re-decided who would use the sunspots.Could it be that every time they play chess, General Zi Ning will play white and King Gui will play black?Or did it just happen to be that way?Assuming that they always play chess with General Zi Ning holding the white, then wouldn’t all the chess games engraved here be games won by General Zi Ning?But why keep the chess game won by General Zining?Is it to show that General Zining is a victorious general?
"What have you been doing since just now?" Chu Xiu asked her.Seeing her walking around the sarcophagus and writing and drawing, what is she doing?
"Brother Chopsticks, are you familiar with Go?" she asked.

"It's okay. What's the matter?" Chu Xiu said, "Do you want to ask about the chess record above?"

"En." She nodded, "I just drew all the chess records here, look." She handed the notebook to Chu Xiu, "Is there any valuable clues in these chess records?"

Chu Xiu flipped through it briefly, and said, "Are these chess games all won by white?"

"Seems to be."

"The way of playing chess is very ancient." Chu Xiu said again.

"Nonsense, the technique of chess 2000 years ago was not ancient, so is the current chess technique very ancient?" She rolled her eyes at Chu Xiu, who was pretending to be profound.

Chu Xiu curled his lips and said, "Judging from the style of playing chess, the white side is more cautious, hidden and ready to go, while the black side appears sharp and even aggressive."

"Can you tell the character of a chess player from the style of playing chess?" she asked.

"Basically yes." Chu Xiu said, "Have you thought of anything?"

"Are all the white pieces in these games played by the same person?" She continued to ask.

Chu Xiu flipped through Zigui's notebook again, and said, "It looks like it is."

"Hey, Brother Chopsticks, your answer is really vague!" She said angrily.Like "it seems to be", "basically", "it seems to be", etc., even if you say something wrong, you can shirk responsibility!

"I really don't know the exact situation, so of course I can only give you a vague answer." Chu Xiu snorted and said, "If you know, don't ask me!"

This dead chopstick.Angrily, she turned her head away and did not talk to Chu Xiu.However, according to what Chu Xiu said, Bai Fang in these chess games is a cautious, concealed, and ready-to-go person, which is indeed in line with General Zining's personality. As for the sharp-edged and aggressive one, it is naturally the king.But is there any secret hidden in these chess games?She was just trying to pass the time by studying these chess games.

"Zigui, I didn't find anything, I think we should go out." Chu Xiu stood up and said.

"So fast?" she was surprised.

"Quick?" Chu Xiu said incredulously, "First of all, it is hard to say whether there is enough oxygen here, and secondly, there is no clue related to that map here, and——you are not afraid to stay for a long time, your Brother Xiuwen will be worried?"

Of course she didn't want Senior Brother Xiuwen to be worried, but... "We haven't checked anything yet." She returned empty-handed, she was a little bit reconciled no matter how she thought about it.

"Then how do you want to check?" Chu Xiu crossed his arms and asked, "Can you find any clues from these chess records?"

"That's what I think." She said, "But I don't know much about Go, so you can study it. I'll go and see if there is anything suspicious in the sarcophagus."

He just stuffed the notebook into his hand. "Didn't you read it last time?" Chu Xiu asked.

"I didn't look at what was under the armor last time." The most important thing is that she was in a hurry to go back to save Huangfulu, so how could she have the leisure to check the things in the sarcophagus?
"Be careful not to fall in and get out." Chu Xiu glanced at her and said.

"I'm not that clumsy." Sure enough, ivory would never come out of the chopsticks' mouth.She bowed outside the sarcophagus, "Don't blame anyone, don't blame anything." After speaking, she climbed into the sarcophagus.Standing inside the sarcophagus, she realized that the sarcophagus is wider than it looks from the outside, huh? "Brother Chopsticks, there seems to be some words engraved in the sarcophagus." She hurriedly called Chu Xiu to come over and have a look together.

"Wait, these chess games seem to have really left some information..." Chu Xiuxiu was busy looking at the chess records drawn by Zigui, "You write it down first, and tell me later."

She shrugged, "Okay." She looked carefully at the words carved on the inside of the sarcophagus.This seems to be a letter written by King Gui to General Zi Ning. From a general point of view, he knows that General Zi Ning loves the people like a son, treats the soldiers well, and is cruel and tyrannical. He just forced the historian to write it.Please, what's the use of writing clarifications in such a place where ordinary people can't get in at all?She was muttering to herself, and found that at the end of this paragraph, some words were written: "I have been crazy in this life, but Yu will always stand by my side. I feel that my heart is the same. I wish to bear the infamy of future generations, and I swear that Yu's soul will last forever."

It seems that in order to thank General Zining for his loyalty to him, King Gui wants to let General Zining's soul exist forever even if he is notorious.But why did King Gui say that?By the way, she remembered that Yin Hui said that the reason why King Gui wanted to kill General Zining was to save him.At this time, what her hand touched was the words in the sarcophagus, and there was a feeling of beating like a pulse along her fingertips as if alive! "this is……"

"Have you found anything? If there is nothing suspicious, let's leave here and study these chess games..." Chu Xiu stood up and said to the sarcophagus, "Zigui?" Where is she?

"Xiuwen, are you listening?" Chu Xiu shook Xiuwen's shoulder displeased.

"Oh, little Xiuxiu." Xiuwen nodded with a smile, "Of course I'm listening. What's the matter?"

Chu Xiu gritted his teeth and said with a sneer, "You're not listening at all, okay?" Otherwise, why would you ask him what's the matter?

"I feel junior sister." Xiuwen said hastily.

"Really?" Chu Xiu looked at him suspiciously and asked, "Then what did you feel about her?"

"I'm looking forward to it, but also a little scared." Xiuwen said.

"She seems to be still around here." Chu Xiu looked up at the dark woods around him.He could still vaguely feel Zigui's aura, but where did she go?He checked the inside of the sarcophagus, but he couldn't find any mechanism traps, and he didn't find any auras like magic circles or spells inside. Where did Zi Gui suddenly disappear to?
Where is she?Zigui conjured up a small ball of light to look around.This room seemed to be an airtight secret room, about the size of the tomb of the Clothes Tomb, but she was relieved that the walls were made of large city bricks, not the kind of distorted human faces.But how did she come here?She was obviously still reading the words in the sarcophagus just now, and then came here suddenly.what the hell is it?She lowered her head, and found that she was actually standing on another sarcophagus, and quickly jumped back from the sarcophagus to the floor of the secret room.She tried to breathe lightly, since she couldn't see any vents here, and she tried not to consume air before leaving here.This sarcophagus looks to be the same size and shape as the one she was in the tomb just now. I don't know what's inside.Could it be General Zining's funeral object, or another set of armor?She pushed the sarcophagus cover vigorously, thinking that it would remain motionless like a sarcophagus containing armor, but she did not expect that the sarcophagus cover was pushed open by a crack.Looking at the slit that was pushed away by her, a strange fear blocked the pores of her whole body. For some reason, she suddenly didn't want to know what was inside.But……

She bit her lower lip—maybe this is the location of the treasure hidden in the embroidery map. Some people can't find the place after trying so hard. Although it is inexplicable, she is probably the first to enter here Wouldn't it be a pity not to see what's inside the sarcophagus?She took a deep breath and put her hands on the sarcophagus lid.She didn't understand what she was nervous about, her ears were even filled with the sound of "plop, plop" heartbeat, she gritted her teeth, and pushed open the sarcophagus lid with all her might. With a "boom", the heavy sarcophagus lid lost its support and fell on the green brick floor of the secret room, stirring up a burst of dust. "Don't blame it, don't blame it." She bowed three times to the sarcophagus, and was mentally prepared to see something amazing before climbing up to check the things inside.

"This is...!" The thing inside the sarcophagus was beyond her expectation—there was a person lying in the sarcophagus!She had seen that face before, she had seen this face when she was looking at Qin Jing, but how could this be possible?Inexplicably, she felt that what was flowing all over her body was not blood, but ice water, freezing her whole body bit by bit.

The person lying in the sarcophagus turned out to be General Zining!Wasn't General Zining divided into pieces by five horses?Why are the hands and feet of the people lying in the sarcophagus so complete?
Although her heart was "pounding", she didn't step back even half a step, and she didn't take her eyes off the person in the sarcophagus.Although the man's face was pale, it seemed that he was just asleep.Her neatly disheveled hair was still black and shiny, and she was wearing a somewhat familiar dress—by the way, she had seen Gui Wang wearing this dress in her dream!Why would you wear it on General Zining?And the pattern of the buckle on the body is also familiar to her, because she also found the same buckle in another general Zi Ning's tomb.The ancient hierarchy was strict, and some people didn't even have their own surnames. General Zi Ning was a very general. Even if he was highly valued and a high-ranking minister, he couldn't just use royal items casually!Could it be that these two belt buckles, the clothes on the body, and the handkerchief are all just rewards from the king?However, would a king easily reward so many royal items to a courtier?Even if it is a reward, one is enough to make the courtier who received the reward look good for a lifetime.
