Taoism moves mountains

Chapter 154 Nine Palaces and Eight Gates
  When the three of them turned their attention to Jiang Yang, it was hard for him to continue playing riddles.

"Since leaving the tomb, except for the black-faced turtle, the owner of the tomb has left us with ideas for deciphering in other institutions, and this chessboard is probably the same.

You see that there is only one black piece on the chessboard, which means that we are only given a chance to make one move.

This tomb owner does not want to kill us, but wants to compete with us. "

Jiang Yang continued to tell what he had guessed.

"Then you hurry up and play this chess!" Hong Guliang urged.

Her urging was not unreasonable. This tomb was sealed and had no vents. The braziers and torches were burning all the time. It was estimated that the oxygen would be exhausted before long, and then they would face the desperate situation of lack of oxygen.

"You are the only one here who can play Go, it's up to you!" Min Gushao also said seriously.

Hua Ling'er looked at him with a "I'm relying on you" expression.

Jiang Yang nodded seriously and then started to look at the chessboard.

"If you want to win this endgame, it's very simple. Just move the black stone to this position and capture the white stone next to it, and you'll basically win.

It's just that I feel that this chess game is not that simple. I am wondering if the tomb owner wants us to lose the chess game? "Jiang Yang pointed to an empty seat on the chessboard and said. After speaking, he looked at Hua Ling'er and the other three, asking for their opinion.

"Is there any difference between losing or winning?" Kurosuma Liang asked blankly.

"If you win, it's too easy. If you lose, it means flattery or lack of understanding, which is not in line with the tomb owner's previous thoughts.

The fact that we have broken through such a dangerous mechanism to get here shows that our talents can basically put us on the same level as the tomb owner. I guess the tomb owner has the intention of drawing a chess game. "Jiang Yang answered Russel Mushrooms.

"A draw?" Min Gushao and the other three were confused.

"Yes, it is not difficult to lose or win in this chess game. The difficulty lies in drawing." Jiang Yang explained.

"Listening to what you said, I agree with your idea. Let's play a draw." Min Gushao believed in Jiang Yang and expressed his support.

The other two daughters also nodded to Jiang Yang to express their support.

Jiang Yang responded, turning his gaze to the chessboard again and observing it carefully.

It didn't take long for him to see the draw situation in the three-jeopardy cycle, and he found the position of the next stone in the four-jeopardy cycle. Capturing one of the white pieces was the situation of the four-jeopardy cycle. In the four-jeopardy cycle, the chess game would only be a draw. The outcome of chess.

The owner of the tomb wanted someone to see the chess game that started the cycle of four tribulations after the cycle of three tribulations. This was the idea of ​​breaking the level. It was very consistent with the previous routines of the Armillary Sphere Mechanism and the Suspended Soul Ladder Mechanism, giving people a chance of survival!
  After Jiang Yang confirmed what he was thinking, he did not hesitate, picked up the sunspot and placed it at the next position in the cycle of four calamities.

With a "pop" sound, the chess pieces fell onto the board without regrets.

The next moment, the four of them heard mechanical sounds coming from around them!

The four of them looked around and saw eight stone walls slowly falling from the top of the tomb. There were many storage grids on the stone walls, and precious gold and jade items were placed in the grids.

Fine porcelain! Golden Buddha and Jade Guanyin!
  Deep sea blood coral! Pearl agate jade pearl!

Gold plaque, bronze sword, silver tower, blood jade wall!

They are all exquisite and priceless things.

Hong Guliang and Hua Ling'er were stunned, and even Jiang Yang was salivating.

He estimated that each item was worth one or two thousand super points. If he could take them all away, it would definitely add him to an additional hundred thousand super points. "Are these going to be given to us?" Russula asked blankly.

"Don't think too much, see if you have the Dragon Bone Book, and don't forget what we are here for." Min Gushao reached out and shook Rugu Liang's shoulder to wake her up.

Jiang Yang, who was standing next to him, came back to his senses when he heard Min Gushao's words and began to observe carefully.

So, the four people began to search these eight walls, but found that there was no trace of the Dragon Bone Book.

"Brother, have you noticed? The structure of this tomb is the same as the Qimen Dunjia Formation. The eight walls are just for the eight doors of Yingxiu, Sheng, Shang, Du, Jing, Death, Jing, and Kai. It is estimated that these eight doors must be unlocked. Only by using the Gate Dunjia Formation can we find the Dragon Bone Heavenly Book." Jiang Yang said as he walked.

After hearing Jiang Yang's words, Min Gushao looked around and felt the same.

"Is this going to test us again?" Hua Ling'er has now basically understood the tomb owner's thoughts. He has set up many traps just for people to crack them.

"That's right, so the gold and jade treasures on the stone wall cannot be touched easily." Jiang Yang answered her, and then smiled at her, showing a confident side and reducing her psychological worries.

"The sealing of the formation here is a foregone conclusion. It seems to be an arrangement of nine palaces and eight gates." Min Gushao said doubtfully.

Min Gushao is also very proficient in Yi Shu. The eight-door Dunjia Formation in front of him is not a problem for him at all, and he can also quickly see the related arrangement of the nine palaces.

"You're right! It's the layout of the nine palaces and eight gates. As long as we find the corresponding artifacts on the stone wall that correspond to the eight gates, we can crack this mechanism." Jiang Yang said, and after speaking, he walked back to the altar. .

"The Nine Palaces are the nine directions indicated by the number of the Nine Books. Corresponding to the eight gates are the first palace, Kan, in the north, the second palace, Kun, in the southwest, the third palace, Zhen, in the east, the fourth palace, Sunda, in the southeast, and the fifth palace, Kun, in In the middle, the sixth house Qian is in the west), the seventh house Dui is west, the eighth house Gen is in the northeast, and the ninth house Li is south.

In order to find the corresponding bright object, you must first know the location.

Two and four are shoulders, six and eight are feet, three on the left and seven on the right, nine shoes on one and five in the middle.

In the tomb, with the coffin facing the door, one wears nine shoes, that is, the head and tail are nine, and the feet are one. "Speaking of this, Jiang Yang pointed to the arrangement of coffins and said.

Hearing this, Min Guxiao, Hua Ling'er, and Hong Guliang all understood, and they also roughly understood the directions of the nine palaces and eight gates.

"Therefore, Jiu is Li, Jingmen is Li Jiugong, and Li is fire." After speaking, Jiang Yang looked at the stone wall facing him and pointed at a bright object and continued: "There is a red bird on the bronze candlestick, and the red bird is the four directions. The fire spirit represents fire.”

After finishing speaking, Jiang Yang pointed to another stone wall and said: "Kan is water, which is just an appearance. In the meaning of hexagram, Kan is the middle line. He sticks to the right path and maintains his original intention. He is the bronze Bodhisattva. His body is decorated with necklaces. Wearing the Vairocana crown, he is Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva.

There is a saying in the book, "Unless hell is empty, I will never become a Buddha." It is referring to Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva. This is consistent with the meaning of adhering to the right path and maintaining one's original intention. "

Gen Palace takes a jade dog. Jade is born from stone and is as immovable as a mountain.

The wood of the genus Xun is the wind, and a miniature screen made of golden nanmu is used.

……

(Heaven, earth, water, fire, wind, thunder, mountains and rivers correspond to the eight palaces of Qian, Kun, Li, Zhen, Xun, Gen and Dui respectively.)
  Jiang Yang found the objects corresponding to the Eighth Palace first, but did not start to move because he remembered to touch one of them, which was to start the countdown of the mechanism. At that time, it would be more difficult and accidents might occur.

Therefore, find the corresponding objects first, and then it will be easier to crack the mechanism.

When Jiang Yang pointed out the corresponding objects of these palaces and assigned tasks, each of the four people solved two palaces.

First, starting from Kanmen, Jiang Yang turned the bronze statue of Ksitigarbha, the mechanism started to activate, and the stone slab they were standing on began to retract toward the wall.

"This is just the countdown of the mechanism. Turn the corresponding weapon." Jiang Yang shouted loudly. After shouting, he jumped to the other door.
