Chapter 978: Do it yourself or I will help you
After a fierce discussion, they unanimously agreed that the four holes in this stone chamber must be related to the chess game on the chessboard in front of them. But now the problem is that Lin Tao knows nothing about the chessboard at all.
Dong Wan'er looked at the chess game and frowned and said, "This is an ancient type of chess killing. After each move, there are four different moves. Each of the four different moves has four more. There are sixteen types in total, then sixty-four types, two hundred and fifty-six types, and so on."
Lin Tao pondered and said, "Is it true that solving this game of chess is the key to getting out? Then which path should we take?"
At this time, Sun Chen, who had been silent, spoke: "Since this is set up here, why don't you just tell us the answer? Why do you have to set up a chess game? Is it just for fun?"
Dong Wan'er thoughtfully said, "It's hard to say that this stone chamber and maze are likely to have existed early in the morning. Later, someone discovered this place and happened to find the labyrinth passage, so he recorded the route. Maybe he wanted to joke with his descendants and turn this route into a chess game. Unfortunately, time has changed, and few people now understand this kind of chess game."
After hearing this, Lin Tao murmured: "If I could understand chess and Go, it would be too embarrassing for me."
He asked Dong Wan'er again: "Can you unlock this chess game?"
"I'm just guessing. I just know the rules of this kind of chess and am not proficient in it." Dong Wan'er said slowly.
"There is no other way now, you can just give it a try!" Lin Tao said with a smile.
Dong Wan'er stared at the chessboard for a moment, pondered and said, "The first step should be...here."
She picked up a stone from the ground and placed it on a chessboard.
Lin Tao looked around and said, "Then let's go this way."
They walked into the door in the direction of Dong Wan'er. Behind the door was a rugged passage, about five or six hundred meters away, and at the end of the passage was another stone chamber.
"What's going on?" Lin Tao and the others thought they had read it wrong, or had hallucinations, so they returned to the stone chamber just now!
When Lin Tao recalled the route just now, it seemed to be a straight passage without any turns or bends, which means that it was impossible for them to go around and return to this secret room.
Could it be that ghosts hit the wall? Lin Tao thought about it again. This is indeed very similar to ghosts hitting the wall, but those are all self-deceptions, or some magnetic fields that cannot be explained clearly. Is it the same here? Or, the stone chamber here is not the same as before, but it just looks the same.
Dong Wan'er confirmed his guess and said, "I clearly put a piece on the chessboard just now, why is it gone?"
"Because this is not the same place as the stone chamber just now." Lin Tao said in a deep thought.
"Did someone deliberately arrange the two places exactly the same?" Dong Wan'er asked.
"I don't know this. I don't think anyone will have such free time to make the two places exactly the same unless there is anything that cannot be explained by common sense." Lin Tao said.
"Well," Chu Gongyu has been thinking about the question in front of him since the beginning, and then slowly spoke: "I suggest that we walk back the same way to see if it is the stone room we came to."
So everyone turned back the same way and returned to the stone room just now. A new piece fell on the chessboard, which was exactly what Dong Wan'er put on not long ago.
It seems that the two stone chambers just look the same, and there are probably many stone chambers like this in the entire cave. The best way to prevent them from getting lost is to mark each stone chamber. In this way, they will know that one has walked through and that one has not walked through.
This time, Lin Tao and others went to the second stone chamber again, preparing to put two stones on the chessboard and make marks. They speculated that each stone represents a stone chamber. If this speculation is true, they will easily understand this complex underground world.
However, as soon as they arrived at the second stone chamber, they found that there was a fucking stone on the stone plate here!
Several people looked at each other. After a long time, Lin Tao asked, "We didn't go the wrong way, are we?" He could no longer tell whether they were in the first stone chamber or the second stone chamber.
At this time, the direction they had just arrived suddenly came a subtle voice. Lin Tao and the others were familiar with this voice, just the ghost brothers chasing them. Lin Tao and others' faces changed.
The sound was getting closer, as if it was only one or two hundred meters away from them.
"Brother, how do you know that Lin Tao and the others are heading in this direction?" The person who spoke seemed to be one of the ghost brothers, but Lin Tao did not know which one was.
"Looking at the chess piece, one is newly put on." This is the voice of the old man from the white ghost.
Lin Tao said in his heart that it was terrible. He winked at the others and whispered: "Put it a stone and mislead them, and we will go another way."
Dong Wan'er was worried, "But, we haven't solved the game now, if we go the wrong way..."
Lin Tao interrupted her, "Now there is no time to solve the chess game, the Demon Sect will arrive later. If there is no time, choose any way."
Dong Wan'er as she said, put a stone casually, and then they chose another stone door and drilled in.
As soon as they left, the voice of the ghost brothers came from behind. They had arrived at the stone chamber. If they delayed for a moment, they would have become dead at this moment.
Walking four or five hundred meters, it was still a familiar passage. They entered the stone chamber again, exactly the same as the one before. Behind them, the voices of the ghost brothers gradually disappeared. It seemed that they had walked through another door and had temporarily escaped.
Then, they chose another door, and behind that door, there was another stone chamber. After four or five stone chambers in a row, the same was true. If they had not found that there was more than one stone chamber here, Lin Tao would have thought he was spinning in place.
Finally, for the last time, they returned to the origin, the first stone chamber they set out, Lin Tao recognized this place because there was a door leading to the outside world, which was the direction they came.
"Is there any way to crack this chess game?" Lin Tao asked Dong Wan'er.
"I'll try, I don't know much about this kind of chess," Dong Wan'er stood in front of the chess game and fell into deep thought, "If so..."
Lin Tao and the others were anxious, but they all held back and did not urge Dong Wan'er. They wanted to give Dong Wan'er enough room to think.
"If so..." Dong Wan'er murmured, "It should be possible."
After a while, Lin Tao asked, "How is it?"
"It should be almost done," Dong Wan'er let out a long sigh. There were seven or eight new pieces on the chessboard in front of her, which she had just left behind.
Lin Tao looked at the chessboard and couldn't understand it, but it didn't matter as long as Dong Wan'er knew it. "Disrupt the chess game and let's go."
Dong Wan'er wanted to speak but stopped and called Lin Tao, "I have something, I don't know if my guess is right."
"What's the matter?" Lin Tao stopped and turned around and asked.
"When I was working on chess, I suddenly had an idea, as if those chess pieces did not represent stone chambers, but represented directions." Dong Wan'er was not sure about this conjecture.
This attracted Lin Tao's attention, and he also noticed this problem. If the chess piece represents a stone chamber, then there are many things that cannot be explained in this maze. However, if the chess piece represents the direction, which corresponds to the four doors of each stone chamber, one in the east, south and north, it will be clear.
"I agree, what do you think?" Lin Tao asked the others about their opinions, and they all accepted this assumption more.
Dong Wan'er said: "I believe that the senior who left the chess game didn't think too much about it. The direction of the move corresponds to the direction of the four gates, so the correct answer should be left, top, right, top, left, top, left, bottom."
Half an hour later, they walked out of the last stone chamber and came to a low hole with only one exit.
"It seems that this is the exit here." Chu Gongyu said.
None of Lin Tao and the others responded, and they couldn't say what strange situation they would encounter later.
"You'll know when you go and take a look," Lin Tao said for a moment of silence, and then he got into the exit first, and others followed behind and entered one after another.
After they came out, they looked around for a moment and found that it seemed like a Dead Sea, which was very similar to the Dead Sea they came to, but there were some subtle differences, proving that the two were not the same sea area.
Lin Tao and others took a breath, "This is..."
They came to the center of the Dead Sea. Strangely, there was an upward buoyancy here. Standing in the center, their bodies naturally floated up.
What appeared before them was a large Dead Sea, and further away, there were many nameless islands.
Lin Tao looked at these small islands and felt familiar. He suddenly thought that this was the area where he and Ma Lao passed by when they went to the Tibetan Sea. From this, this is not far from the Tibetan Sea!
They did not dare to stay for a moment and rushed straight to a black sea like the Dead Sea. This place was exactly the same as when Lin Tao left, but compared to the last time they came here, Lin Tao had experienced a lot of things and felt like he suddenly had a dream.
"Let's go to Ma Lao's palace now!" Lin Tao was about to enter the sea when he heard a whistling in his ears, and several sharp explosions burst into the air. He immediately turned his body and barely avoided the attack.
Lin Tao turned over and stood in the air, looking coldly at the dozen people opposite him.
"We have been waiting for you for a long time. Take us to see Ma Yinxi's hiding place." The young man in colorful clothes standing in front said lightly.
Dong Wan'er, Qin Hongxiao and others stood behind Lin Tao, waiting for it, while Chu Gongyu seemed to know this young man in colorful clothes, with a grim expression.
"Oh, by the way, I seem to have forgotten to introduce myself," said the young man in Caiyi as if nothing had happened. "Was Xing Caisha under the command of Sect Master Xia Lu, he was ordered to take some of his lives. Do you think he should do it yourself or should I help you?"
