Chapter 82 Chapter 24 Lunar Eclipse

Albert searched all over the bamboo forest but couldn't find the bones of his ancestors, so he thought it might be on the small island in the lake, so he said that he wanted to go up and find out.A group of us walked towards the island from the raised stone with high hopes. The raised stone is not wide, like walking a tightrope.A few times I almost fell into the lake, but luckily escaped.If there was something harmful on the island, wouldn't he panic and fall into the lake when he escaped from the island, leaving no bones left? Before we finished thinking, we set foot on the island.The island is completely natural, and there is no trace of artificial carving.The pyramids are all made of metal, but it is not gold, and it feels extremely cold to the touch.The tower was completely sealed except for a small door looming on the golden wall.This pyramid is slipperier than a loach, and there are no fixed objects. The gap in the door is so small that no paper can fit in. We all worry about how to open it.

Suddenly, Xu Shaode shouted from the side: "Brother Wanzang, come quickly and have a look, there is table chess here!" I was surprised, how could there be chess in this ghost place?Everyone ran over to have a look, and found that there was really a stone table with a game of Go on it.I have a little familiarity with the art of chess, and at a glance, I know that the white piece is destined to lose, and there is no way to recover.Unexpectedly, there was a row of unclear ancient texts on the dusty stone table.Taking a closer look, the above means that as long as the chess game is cracked and the white pieces beat the black pieces, the pyramid will automatically open.

After reading this lettering, everyone immediately became discouraged.Although I know a little bit about Go, I'm only playing with beginners. I don't know how to solve this difficult game even if I want to break my head.I asked everyone, but no one knew how to solve it. Xu Shaode was full of bad taste, and he was even clueless about Go. "Don't underestimate me, do you know what this is? Can you name this chess game? I just know it's Go, let you learn more, it's called a lunar eclipse game!" Xu Shaode said proudly, spitting A little fell on the gray stone table.

I guessed that Xu Shaode only knew how to eat and drink, but didn't know how to play Go, so I let him be quiet.Everyone's impression of Xu Shaode has long been formed, and like me, they think he is talking nonsense.Unexpectedly, Xu Shaode found that he did not receive the effect of praise, so he hurriedly explained what the lunar eclipse was. Xu Shaode explained it fluently. He said that this lunar eclipse happened when Jianzhen went to Japan and met a Japanese monk.The name of this monk can no longer be verified. This monk liked Jianzhen from the east very much, so he talked at night by candlelight.That night, there happened to be a lunar eclipse.They played a game of Go, and it was still hard to tell the winner at dawn.Jianzhen saw that the monk was gradually becoming demonic, and he only cared about the outcome, so Jianzhen deliberately let his white son perish, lest the monk continue to be obsessed with the outcome.Even so, Jianzhen cleverly left a way for Baizi to return to heaven, but he admitted that he lost.

After Jianzhen left, the monk wanted to show off that he had won the eminent monks in the East, so he showed off everywhere.Unexpectedly, there is also a chess master in Japan, and it just so happens that the master saw the chess game where the monk showed off his victory.The master smiled slightly and pointed out the mystery. The monk was shocked immediately and shut the door.For several years, the monk has been studying how Baizi can turn the tide, but to no avail.Finally, the monk put down his face and went to look for the chess master, hoping to find the answer.Unexpectedly, when he found the master's residence, that person happened to return west with a crane.When the master was dying, he left a message, saying that if a monk came to find him, he would tell him that attachment is not a good thing, and that he should let it go.

But the monk didn't understand the meaning, and died in depression. Before leaving, he sent the chess game back to Jianzhen, hoping that he could burn the cracked game to him under Jiuquan.At that time, in 758 AD, Emperor Koken, who was the main supporter of Jianzhen, lost power in the court struggle and was forced to pass the throne to Emperor Junren.Correspondingly, Jianzhen was also excluded.In that year, Emperor Junren issued a decree, in the name of "irritating political affairs and not daring to work for the old", dismissed Jianzhen from the post of "big monk capital" and granted the official residence of the former crown prince Daozu Wang who was defeated in the court struggle. Give Jianzhen.In the following year, Jianzhen's disciples built a temple in the official residence, and Chunren bestowed the name "Tangzhaoti Temple", and Jianzhen moved here from Todaiji Temple.

The chess game, which exhausted the unknown monks, was sent to Tangzhaoti Temple. Sensing the persistence of the monks, Jianzhen broke the chess game and incinerated the chess game that night.Coincidentally, that night, there was another lunar eclipse.Jianzhen's disciples saw the ingenuity of the chess game, so they copied it secretly. After Jianzhen's death, the chess game was reappeared.But until now, no one has been able to solve this chess game. His disciples had recorded how to solve the book, but that record was lost in the chaos of the war, and no one knew where it was. Because both the chess and the broken chess were played on the night of the lunar eclipse, this chess game was called the "lunar eclipse game" by Japan, but now only a few people who are well versed in Go know this eternal mystery. The "Eclipse Bureau" is also hidden in Tangzhaoti Temple because it is under Jianzhen. It is the treasure of the temple in the temple and cannot be seen by ordinary people.

We listened to Xu Shaode's bragging, and we were so surprised that we forgot to close our mouths. We didn't expect that he, who was thicker than me, knew this story!I found it strange, so I questioned him why he knew the ins and outs of the lunar eclipse.He smirked, and it turned out that his grandmother was a Japanese, who happened to be the daughter of a lay disciple presided over by Toshodaiji Temple.Because of World War II, he stayed in China and met his grandfather.I had never heard that Xu Shaode had a Japanese grandma in his ancestors, and now I was quite surprised to hear him say that.These stories were told by his grandma to his grandpa, his grandpa told his father, and his father told him again.

Xu Shaode struggled to explain, and I felt a little dizzy, but I finally understood the essence.Fan Li is very proficient in Go. When he was still in college, he often played against master players and often beat them.Those people asked him to participate in the competition, but he was unwilling, and he was very indifferent to fame and fortune.Now he is watching the situation with a frown, but he doesn't know how to turn Bai Zi's situation around.Albert is not a Chinese hand, and he doesn't understand what this chess game is talking about. I thought, this Bai Zi must have no power to return to heaven, could it be that this is really a lunar eclipse.Perseveringly, Jianzhen has passed away for many years, otherwise we can ask him to explain the doubts in our hearts.But I changed my mind, the people of Yelang came out of the Tang Dynasty nearly a thousand years earlier, so this chess game must have been a thousand years earlier, so how could it be a lunar eclipse game.However, this chess game has the same characteristics as the lunar eclipse game Xu Shaode said, so it is not an exaggeration to call it that.

"Hey, do you know how to solve it?" Seeing that Fan Li was frowning, I turned to Xiao Guang. I thought she was a know-it-all and could talk to beasts, but she shook her head and said that she still didn't understand the mystery of the situation.I looked at the stone table again in annoyance. The dust on the chess board was already so thick that the white pieces were almost turning gray. It must be that this chess game has not been cracked for thousands of years.I'm not very impressed with the ingenuity of the chess game, but the line on the table, saying that only by cracking the lunar eclipse game can the pyramid be opened. If this mechanism is true, it should be the number one mechanism in the world.All of us who study architecture dream that we can build this thing, but we don't know why.

The pyramid is completely sealed, and the outside cannot be opened. It seems that it can only be opened from the internal mechanism.However, none of us half-baked players or chess masters can crack the lunar eclipse. I am afraid that the pyramid will never be opened unless an atomic bomb is used to blow it up.Fan Li seemed to be in a magical way, he kept staring at the chess game, but couldn't relax his eyebrows.He said, this baizi must be a big loser, how can he turn around the win or loss, he really can't figure it out. "Didn't you say that your grandma is Japanese? Did she say how to solve the lunar eclipse?" I patted Xu Shaode on the shoulder and asked. "Why is grandma not grandma? Why do the words from your mouth sound like swear words? My grandma passed away a long time ago. She only said that there is this problem, but she didn't say how to solve it!" Xu Shaode replied unconvinced. "That's difficult. Although I often play Go, this game really can't be reversed. It's impossible for Baizi to win." Xiaoguang also affirmed. Albert saw that we were all fussing over a game of Go and felt bored, so he wandered around the island looking for the remains of his grandfather.We were all focused on the lunar eclipse, so we didn't have the time to talk to him, so we let him cool off.I once heard that a person who wrote a book designed a kind of Zhenlong chess game, if he committed suicide with his own pieces, he would be able to return to heaven and kill the sunspots.So I explained the matter to everyone, but Fan Li and Xiao Guang said that there is no such thing, this lunar eclipse is different from the one who wrote the book, and Bai Zi who committed suicide is like adding insult to injury, it is useless at all.Xiaoguang still thought I was wordy, she said she had thought about such an idea a long time ago, so why should I remind her. I'm not good at chess, and I don't have much patience, and now I'm so tired that I'll be paralyzed after standing a few more times, so I asked Xu Shaode and me to sit on the ground, and wait for these two chess masters to crack, and then we will take the fisherman profit.Xu Shaode and I chatted about the east, west, north, south, looking forward to the future, thinking whether the times will go backwards in the future, and one person can marry all the beauties in the world, and the mouth is drooling all over the place.Albert finished wandering around the island, but found no remains. It seems that we are the first people to set foot on the island for thousands of years.It's the same when you think about it, there are two-headed rhinos and those mysterious villagers guarding here, so how could anyone get in. Looking at the bamboo forest outside the lake, we gradually became dazed, because we had nothing to say, and we were too sleepy to open our mouths.Looking at it, I suddenly found that the water in the lake was slowly rising. The stone path we stepped on was only ten centimeters above the lake.If the lake overflows the stone road, what can we use to cross the lake? This is an electric lake, and there are no bones in it.As soon as I was in a hurry, I immediately asked Fan Li and the others to think of a way.Life is the most important thing, if you really can't break this situation, don't think about it.No matter what the game is, if your soul is taken to the Hall of Yama, it will be in vain if the game is broken. Just now, when we were chatting, we didn't touch anything. How could the lake rise?Looking at the stone path, there is no water mark. I think this is the first time the lake has risen in thousands of years.I was really afraid of what would happen. I was just thinking about how to cross the lake if the stone path disappeared. I didn't know that the lake would rise. My urgency made them even more unintentional to break the lunar eclipse. Could it be that it is God's will that we can't find Gu Yelang's treasure and secret?I didn't know this urgency, but something reminded me that it is actually very easy to crack this lunar eclipse!
