Chapter 1400: Tianyuan Yishifa and Daxie Dingshi, the "God's Move" That Countless Chess Players Pursue Throughout Their Lives
Emperor Yan: "I remember, Heaven and Earth Great Harmony, Heavenly Demon Great Transformation!"
Emperor Yan: "Is he a Go player?"
Xiao Yan subconsciously said the two names that were most familiar to him from the depths of his memory.
Ordinary group leader: "Go is indeed Go, but Heaven and Earth Great Harmony and Heavenly Demon Great Transformation belong to Jiang Liuer and Hei Mu."
Ordinary group leader: "Can you confuse Go Boy and Go Soul?"
Su Yunqing was certainly familiar with the name Fujiwara Sawa. Although Go Soul is an anime with a sense of age, it is also quite exciting, and like Captain Tsubasa and Slam Dunk, it is the kind that you want to play after watching it.
Before she traveled through time, someone had remade Go Soul, which was also very popular.
Su Yunqing also thought it was normal for Xiao Yan to know Fujiwara Sawa, because the anime of Go Soul came out very early, before Xiao Yan traveled through time, and it was not surprising that he had seen it, but Su Yunqing did not expect that he could confuse Go Soul with Go Boy.
Ordinary group leader: "Yeah, with Xun'er by my side, how can I have time to recall the anime of my past life."
Ordinary group leader: "It's amazing that I can remember that Fujiwara Sawa was a Go player."
Emperor Yan: "Ahem."
Xiao Yan touched his nose awkwardly. After all, he had traveled through time for a long time. In addition, there was Dou Qi in Dou Qi Continent, a cultivation system that did not exist in his previous life. It allowed people to have powerful strength. How could he have time to recall the anime of his previous life? It was normal for him to get confused.
Fujiwara Sawa: "Excuse me, what are Heaven and Earth Great Harmony and Heavenly Demon Great Transformation?"
Fujiwara Sawa: "Is the Go boy a world?"
Fujiwara Sawa: "Are Heaven and Earth Great Harmony and Heavenly Demon Great Transformation the two fixed patterns?"
Originally, Fujiwara Sawa was a little confused after receiving the information instilled by the chat group in his mind. He didn't understand how a ghost who just wanted to play chess suddenly joined such an incredible place;
But the next second when he saw the Heaven and Earth Great Harmony and Heavenly Demon Great Transformation mentioned by Xiao Yan and Su Yunqing in the chat group, his confused eyes lit up instantly, and his face showed excitement and curiosity.
The chat group is good. After joining the chat group, he can play Go with people from other worlds. Are Heavenly Demon Great Transformation and Heaven and Earth Great Harmony the two fixed patterns for people from other worlds to play Go? It sounds so amazing.
I really want to play chess with them. I really want to know the principles of these two fixed patterns.
Ordinary group leader: "Well, how should I put it."
Ordinary group leader: "Heaven and Earth are one is an ancient chess game, originally named Tianyuan Yishifa, which was first created by Du Ling, and the first move is to play at the Tianyuan position."
Ancient chess games are all seat chess, that is, black and white pieces are placed diagonally, usually directly hanging corners or occupying edges.
There are very few ways to play Tianyuan, which is easy to fail, so Du Ling's move is quite shocking, which means that no matter how the chess game evolves in the future, Tianyuan can play a supporting role, just like the whole world belongs to the king, so it is Heaven and Earth are one.
Ordinary group leader: "Tenmo Taika is actually the Osaka-style pattern, which was created by Honinbo Jōwa of the island country. It is said to have thousands of variations, and there are countless tricks and traps in it. If you are not careful in dealing with it, you may suffer losses or collapse."
Ordinary group leader: "Because it is said that people who study this pattern tend to be obsessed with it later, just like the inner demon is stimulated. The so-called demon is born from the heart, and its changes are endless, so it is Tenmo Taika."
Ordinary group leader: "However, it has been strengthened a bit among the young Go players, giving people a feeling that as long as you use it, you will definitely win."
When Fujiwara Sawa heard the name "Honinbo Jōwa", his eyes revealed a hint of understanding. He knew this name. It was a Go master in the late Edo period who was born after his death. He was known as the "later saint" and a legendary figure in the history of Go who stood side by side with the "former saint" Dosaku.
When he possessed Tojiro, he learned about his chess skills. Even he admired Jōwa's chess skills. He was a powerful chess player. Every move he made was full of power and determination, which could not be underestimated.
He naturally knew about the Osaka-style fixed pattern, but he did not expect that this fixed pattern also existed in other worlds. Is it the Great Demonic Transformation? It is really an appropriate name.
However, compared with the Osaka-style fixed pattern, he was more curious about the Tianyuan Yishifa mentioned by Su Yunqing. Although he had never heard of this name, he could feel the special nature of this fixed pattern from the description.
With Tianyuan as the position, no matter how the chess game evolves in the future, Tianyuan can play a supporting role. This concept made him curious. It was hard for him to imagine what kind of fixed pattern could do this.
Fujiwara Sawa's love for Go made him feel extremely excited. If the two were in front of him, he would probably be eager to invite them to play a game of Go to see if the "Heaven and Earth" formula was really so magical, and to see the achievements of Honinbo Jō, the "later saint" who rose after his death.
It's just a pity
Fujiwara Sawa: "I'm already dead."
Fujiwara Sawa's eyes flashed with loneliness, and he sighed softly. Death was not a terrible thing for him. He had spent so many years as a ghost, chasing the "God's Hand", and he had become accustomed to this posture.
The only thing that made him feel sorry was that he could not touch the familiar chessboard again, and could not experience the joy and excitement of playing chess in person.
He recalled the crisp and pleasant sound of the chess pieces falling on the chessboard. It was a melody that he would never get tired of hearing in his life. The round and smooth feel of the chess pieces seemed to be engraved in the depths of his soul. Even if he was dead, he would never forget that touch.
Fujiwara Sawa's face showed his infinite attachment and love for Go. He wished he could experience the feeling of playing chess again, feel the heavy weight of the chess pieces in his hands, and listen to the pleasant sound of the chess pieces falling on the chessboard, but all this could only become his eternal memory.
Kasumi Shiko: "Dead?"
Kasumi Shiko: "Does that mean you are a soul now?"
Kasumi Shiko: "Are you in the underworld?"
Kasumigaoka Shiyu didn't know Fujiwara Sawa's feelings, but was a little surprised that Fujiwara Sawa was already dead. From the words of the group leader and Fujiwara Sawa just now, it is not difficult to see that his world should be an everyday world, or a world dominated by Go.
After all, the members invited by the chat group all have extremely high luck in their worlds. They are either the protagonists or important supporting roles. She doesn't believe that a member who is so obsessed with Go, if his world is not dominated by Go, she will not believe it.
When Uchiha Madara joined the chat group, he was also in the form of a soul, but the existence of the underworld in the Naruto world is not surprising, but Fujiwara Sawa, a world dominated by Go, actually has the underworld, which surprised her a little.
Fujiwara Sawa: "The underworld? I don't know."
Fujiwara Sawa: "After I died, I was attached to a chessboard until now."
Fujiwara Sawa didn't know whether there was a underworld in his world. After he died, he was attached to a chessboard for some reason and wandered in the world for a thousand years until now.
Kasumigaoka Shiko: "Possessed on the chessboard?"
Kasumigaoka Shiko: "After you died, did anyone see you possessed on the chessboard, and then for a series of reasons, they became your apprentices and finally became a Go master?"
Kasumigaoka Shiyu felt that this plot seemed a little familiar, as if she had seen it somewhere.
Fujiwara Sawa: "Apprentice? Torajiro didn't become my apprentice."
Fujiwara Sawa: "On the contrary, I am very happy to meet Torajiro, which gave me another chance to play chess."
Fujiwara Sawa shook his head slightly when he saw Kasumigaoka Shiyu's words. Although he helped Torajiro in chess, he was not Torajiro's master. They were confidants, good friends, and partners who trusted each other. The 26 years he spent with Torajiro were the happiest days after his death.
He held the chess piece in another posture, and listened to the sound of the chess piece falling in another posture. Being able to play chess with chess players in later generations, every day of those 26 years was extremely wonderful for him, just like a dream.
Kasumi Shiko: "It's a script similar to Entei but different."
Kasumi Shiko: "But is Torajiro an illusion? Why do I feel like I've heard this name somewhere?"
Kasumigaoka Shiyu murmured the name. She always felt like she had seen this name somewhere.
Osaka-no-Tetsu, Honinbo Jōwa, Go
As if she had thought of something, Kasumigaoka Shiyu picked up her phone and started searching. Three seconds later, she looked at the message on her phone with a surprised expression on her face.
Kasumigaoka Shiko: "The Torajiro you're talking about is not Honinbo Shusaku, right?"
Fujiwara Sawa: "Do you know him?"
Fujiwara Sawa was a little confused.
Kasumigaoka Shiko: "How could I not know him? That's Honinbo Shusaku!"
Kasumigaoka Shiko: "The greatest Go player in the golden age of Go, together with Honinbo Dosaku and Honinbo Jōwa, they are known as the three saints of Go."
Kasumigaoka Shiko: "Even if I'm just a student, I've heard of such a person."
Kasumigaoka Shiyu said excitedly.
Rather than saying that she knows him, it is better to say that many people in the whole island country know Honinbo Shusaku. Even if they don't know Go, they have heard of his name to some extent.
He learned Go from his mother since he was young and showed amazing talent.
At the age of 6, he beat all the players in the village and was hailed as a child prodigy; at the age of 7, he was invited by the lord of Mihara Castle to participate in the game, and his Go skills were recognized and he was given the surname "Yasuda".
Later, he worshipped the abbot of Takehara Hosenji Temple, Master Baozhen, as his teacher, and learned Go, Chinese and Confucian culture.
He obtained the first-level certification at the age of 11, was promoted to the fourth dan at the age of 15, and was given the word "Xiu" at the age of 16 and changed his name to Yasuda Shusaku.
He created legendary records such as undefeated with black and 19 consecutive wins in the Go game.
Umaru-chan: "I remember now. If it's Honinbo Shusaku, I've heard of this name too."
Umaru-chan: "People in the Go club once said that Honinbo Shusaku's Go attainments can be ranked in the top three in the island country."
Umaru-chan also remembered what Kasumigaoka Utaha said. Although she doesn't play Go, there is a Go club in her school. She has heard the name Honinbo Shusaku from the people in the Go club.
Ordinary group leader: "After all, it's normal for historical figures to exist."
Ordinary group leader: "But Honinbo Shusaku in Hikaru no Go is not the same as in your world."
Ordinary group leader: "Because the chess played by Honinbo Shusaku in Hikaru no Go is basically played by Fujiwara no Sawa."
Ordinary group leader: "In the Heian period, Fujiwara no Sawa committed suicide by drowning because of being framed, but because of his love and persistence for Go, his soul attached to a chessboard and spent a thousand years."
Ordinary group leader: "Then he met Torajiro, and possessed Torajiro when he was young, becoming his hands and playing for him."
Ordinary group leader: "The Honinbo Shusaku you know is actually Fujiwara Sawa to some extent in the world of Hikaru no Go."
Ordinary group leader: "But neither of them is chasing fame, they just want to play chess, and the other is conquered by his chess skills, knowing that he will never be able to surpass him in this life, so he is willing to be his hands."
Torajiro has a high talent for Go and a high love for Go, but he is much worse than Fujiwara Sawa.
It is also because Fujiwara Sawa's enthusiasm and persistence for Go, as well as his superb chess skills, that conquered Torajiro, so he willingly became Fujiwara Sawa's hands for playing chess, allowing Fujiwara Sawa's chess skills to be fully utilized.
Ordinary group leader: "You will know the details after I upload the memory copy."
Ordinary group leader: "When I watched Hikaru no Go, I thought that Hikaru Shindo would show his power in front of people in Go with Fujiwara no Sawa. Although he did show his power, it was somewhat different from what I imagined."
Ordinary group leader: "However, how can a person who loves Go refuse the feeling of playing chess in person?"
Ordinary group leader: "The awakening of Hikaru Shindo and the disappearance of Fujiwara no Sawa are also expected to some extent."
Ordinary group leader: "A move of God"
In the setting of Hikaru no Go, Fujiwara no Sawa wandered in the world for a thousand years in order to complete a mission, that is, to let Hikaru Shindo see and understand a key game of Go. When this mission is completed, Sawa's existence loses its meaning.
Sawa passed on his Go skills and love to Hikaru Shindo, and as Hikaru Shindo gradually grew into an excellent Go player, Sawa also completed his mission in the world.
He spent his whole life pursuing the "God's Move", but in the end he never made it. Instead, as a bystander, Hikaru Shindo discovered the God's Move while enjoying the game.
This also made Fujiwara Sawa realize that he had waited for a thousand years just for this moment, so that Hikaru Shindo could see and understand the God's Move.
Before disappearing, Fujiwara Sawa showed a calm acceptance of fate. He knew that he could not stay in the world forever, nor could he have eternal time to continue to pursue the ultimate in Go.
Therefore, he chose to leave calmly at a moment he could still control.
On a sunny Boy's Day, Fujiwara Sawa disappeared while Hikaru was taking a nap.
