Chapter 46
Chapter 46
Until Nanye Shuichi sat in front of the hot pot, he felt quite disillusioned.
His little friend Kuwahara Kazuma is a delinquent boy with short orange hair. Even now that Kuwahara Kazuma is about to graduate from university, he dresses and speaks a lot more decently... He looked at the boy kneeling beside Natsume, still I feel a little unacceptable.
Is it just that the child's breath is a little familiar?
He's seen it before?Where is it?Where, where, where, where, where, where... ah! !
In the supermarket, they took a fancy to the same package of bacon! !
Minano Hideichi couldn't help laughing, it's really fate.
Eating hot pot was really crowded and there was an atmosphere. Naturally, Kuwamoto Inbo was sitting on the main seat, and next to him was Shiba Shizuka. At this moment, Kuwamoto Inbo was using tea instead of wine.
"I've been wanting to thank you for so many years." Kuwamoto Inbo looked at Jingji Chang with a smile, "Thanks for taking care of Asama and teaching Asama so well, I'm so happy!"
Yes, such a good grandson belongs to the Kuwahara family, of course he is happy!
Zhang Jingsi had a shallow smile on his face, "No, no, you are welcome, Asama is a good boy, and we didn't bother much."
Didn't take much effort?Kuwamoto Inbo sipped his tea, smiled in his heart, pretended, I let you pretend!
The two foxes, one big and one small, looked at each other with smiles, and Hideichi Minano, the real demon fox, looked at the two of them and smiled without saying a word.
But Kuwahara Asama, who was sitting between his grandfather and Natsume, ignored others at all, but lowered his head and discussed Yahara's fun places with Natsume.
"Yes! There is a thousand-year-old tree in the depths of the forest. That tree demon has been occupying the spring of Jiuquan. It used to keep people away from it. It's too stingy. When do you think we will find time to steal some?"
Natsume laughed, ignoring the excited cat teacher with wide-eyed eyes beside him, and cruelly vetoed, "No, your careful Mr. Chang is angry, you are underage, you cannot drink."
"It's not bad to steal it for grandpa! It's the night bamboo wine collected by the dryad! The bamboo shoots that have just sprouted in the early spring are paired with the good wine made from the spring that gushes out of the full moon. It's no problem for grandpa to drink a glass!! Kuwahara Asama spoke plausibly, "Besides, I also want to honor my cousin!"
Natsume said angrily, "Now you know Mr. Chang who bribed you? Your health is not good, and you still eat this kind of indigestible food. No wonder Mr. Chang is angry!"
Kuwahara Asama curled her lips, "I don't know if my cousin is coming back today! Didn't he say he was going to Tokyo to handle branch affairs? Why did he come back suddenly?"
"It's not because of you!" Zhang Jingsi interrupted abruptly, making up nonsense without blinking, "If you hadn't brought all the chess records here, why should I invite Mr. Nanye to come to Yayuan?!"
Kuwahara Asama raised his eyebrows, he looked at Nanye Shuichi, "Mr. Nanye can also play chess?" His eyes lit up suddenly, "Would you like to play the next game?"
Nanye Xiuyi was taken aback, he looked into the boy's shining eyes, and said dumbly, "Sorry, I don't know how to play chess."
Kuwahara Asama was very surprised, "Then why do you want chess records?"
"Asama!!" Chang Jingji stared at Kuwahara Asama, "The chess record is not yours."
Kuwahara Asama flinched, and muttered, "I still want to play chess for grandpa..." He said with a heartache, "Okay, tell me which volume it is? I'll get it for you."
Nanye Xiu frowned, a little puzzled.
Natsume explained next to him, "Asama is a professional chess player. He passed the exam last year, and now he is in the second dan." He added, "Asama's grandfather is the contemporary Honinbo!"
"...Honinbo?!" Minano Shuichi looked at the old man sitting at the top in surprise. If he remembered correctly, Honinbo is the title game with the longest history in the Go world, right?
Kuwamoto Inbo was smiling, looking extremely proud.
Nanye Xiuyi understood, no wonder the young man's expression became distorted when he heard that he wanted to get the chess record.
Speaking of which, if I remember correctly, the one who left the chess record is probably the willow tree demon from the bandit group back then, right?
Willow Demon's strength is not high, but his mind is very good, especially in terms of layout calculations, he is almost on par with him. If it wasn't for the low strength of Willow Demon and Huang Quan's occasional disruptions, I am afraid who will be the leader of the bandit group? Not necessarily!
Since it is the chess record left by the willow tree demon, there may be hidden secrets in it.
But he doesn't know how to play Go, so what's the use of Willow Tree Demon leaving him such things?
While thinking, Kuwahara Asama came over with the chess record.
When Nanye Xiu turned his head, his pupils suddenly shrank.
The things of monsters have always been haunted by monster power, especially after the death of the big monster, it is even more hostile. It is not uncommon for monsters to linger for hundreds of years and not dissipate, but Kuwahara Asama dared to hold the chess record directly with his hands !
Even if he read it correctly, the light gray hostility emanating from the chess record will dissipate for no reason when it touches Kuwahara Asama's hand!
this kid...
Kuwahara Asama reluctantly handed the shogi record to Minano Shuichi, "No, is this the volume? This is the only one with the willow leaf mark next to the footer."
Minano Hideichi silently accepted the chess record, yes, this evil spirit is indeed from the Willow Demon.
But even though they were only one step away, he still didn't feel anything strange about Kuwahara Asama.
It's just that the sense of disobedience in my heart... is getting heavier and heavier.
He smiled, brother, "Thank you."
"Forget it, just like what my cousin said, it wasn't mine in the first place." Kuwahara Asama quickly regained his composure, and happily ate the meatballs in the bowl, "Come and try the fish paste, this is my family style God Heitiao do it yourself!"
Minamino Hideichi had just put away the game record, when he heard this, he looked at the black shikigami who was sitting on the side helping Yoshina Kuwabara Asama, and felt a sense of powerlessness in his heart.
Use shikigami to make fish slide...
He sighed involuntarily, only to find that someone else did the same thing.
He turned his head and saw that it was Zhang Jingsi.
Jingji Chang: I didn’t give him shikigami to make fish slides! !
Minano Hideki sneered, gloating.
The host and guest enjoyed a meal, it was getting late, Chang Jingsi got up to say goodbye, and Natsume was planning to go home.
"I wonder where Mr. Nanye plans to live?"
Unexpectedly by Nanye Shuichi, Kuwahara Asama actually tried to persuade him to stay, "If you have no place to live, just live here!"
He looked at the chess record in Nanye Xiuyi's hand, a little embarrassed, "Well, I want to show the score to my grandpa at night..."
Chang Jingji narrowed his eyes slightly, he looked at Natsume, then at Kuwahara Asama, and sighed in his heart, forget it, he should send some people to watch Yaohu's mother and stepfather and stepbrother.
Minano Hideichi looked at the expectant boy, and smiled involuntarily, "Then I won't bother you!"
At night, Yayuan's starry sky is extremely bright.
In the moonlight, Kuwahara Asama and Kuwahara Inbo sat on the corridor, with a chessboard in front of them, and the round chess pieces landed on the chessboard, making a crisp sound.
The roses in the yard exude a faint fragrance. Under the moonlight, the roses are covered with a layer of silver light, which makes the branches more graceful. There are frogs croaking by the small river separated by the wall, and the trickling river flows by. Little fireflies, the breeze blowing, listening to the vibrating wind chimes on the corridor, Minano Hideichi sat on the corridor with a soft smile.
He ate the watermelon on the plate, shook his fan lightly, and closed his eyes slightly, as if he had fallen asleep.
Well, this place is really nice, maybe next time I can take my mother and stepfather on vacation.
Just as he was enjoying himself, Kuwahara Asama, who had been posing all the time, suddenly spoke.
"It's this piece that breaks here, with nine twists and turns, and with a gentle momentum, it stops the waves." Kuwahara Asama sighed, "The person holding the black is indeed very powerful, but he probably didn't expect that even if the white piece She is weak, but she also hides her murderous intentions."
Kuwahara Inbo pondered for a long time before saying, "This is a battle of life and death."
"Although the background of the chess game is not clear, judging from the way of the game, Heizi is full of murderous intent, and Baizi is reluctant to deal with it, but..." Kuwahara Asama said softly, "Baizi broke this move in the end and completely entangled Heizi to death. It can be called a miraculous move, but I don’t know if Heizi will become angry if he loses..."
"No." Kuwamoto Inbo pointed at the chessboard, "He used hang instead of point here, which shows that the opponent is a very confident person. Looking at the chess moves, he is full of murderous intentions but is upright. I think that since Heizi lost, I'm afraid Then you won't trouble Bai Zi."
Minano Hideichi said abruptly, "But he's still dead."
Kuwamoto Inbo nodded, "That's right. Judging from the way the chess is played, the white pieces are extremely reluctant to deal with it. Even if they win the game in the end, they will probably lose too much."
Kuwahara Asama fell silent.
"Yes, according to what you said, Baizi's moves are gentle and gentle, which is the characteristic of willow trees." Nanye Xiuyi sighed, "He is my former partner, a willow tree demon, if he is still alive, he will not Leave a last word to give me something."
Kuwahara Asama tilted her head, "So that's it, is it a willow tree? No wonder you can play such a chess..."
"Stay!"
Kuwamoto Inbo praised, "Youkai... Tsk tsk, what an interesting existence."
Nanye Xiu raised his eyebrows and asked curiously, "Oh? How should I say it?"
"Human beings are transformed by things, but even adults are always interpreting their own essence and true meaning with their lives." Kuwamoto Inbo looked at the chess board and sighed sadly, "I really want to play a game with him."
Kuwahara Asama also agreed, "Yes! It's a pity that we can't play against each other."
Minano Hideo stared blankly at the old and young people in front of the chessboard, and remained silent.
The small nineteen paths allow the willow tree demon who passed away hundreds of years ago and the present human beings to know each other, even if they have never met each other, they can get to know each other through Go.
The past and present, humans and monsters, are connected with each other through Go.
In the world of Go, there are no racial distinctions and cognitive prejudices, no barriers of time and space, and no gaps in time and history. There is only love and devotion to Go.
Minano Hideichi suddenly understood why the head of the Changyi Sect was tolerant of Kuwahara Asama so much.
As a demon exorcising master, looking at humans and crazy monsters in the dark every day, I feel depressed and heavy, but when I see humans chasing dreams like this, with bright souls, my heart will become bright and firm.
In order to protect such human beings, they kill monsters. Even if they are resented and hated by monsters, they will not regret it.
Just like himself who was moved by his mother's love.
