Chapter 6 Chess Players
In a blink of an eye, five years have passed.
Kuwahara Asama finally started to twitch. After years of recuperation, his face is no longer as pale as it was at the beginning. He lives in the field of a family all the year round. He wears loose white bathrobes most of the time, and he will be thinner. His body was covered, and he looked barely a normal child.
However, compared to his thin body, his fingers were white and slender, extremely flexible.
After five years of training, Kuwahara Asama can now draw two basic talismans in three seconds, one for defense and one for repelling. In the future, even if he is used as a stake for monsters to chew on, he will still be able to draw it before his spiritual power is exhausted. A sturdy wooden stake =v=
All the symbols need ink, although he carries special ink with him, but according to the words of the field Jingji...
"Actually, your blood is full of spiritual power, and it's the most suitable medium to use."
——So Kuwahara Asama, in order to heal the wound on her fingertips, learned the first talisman that healed.
However, Kuwahara Asama still likes to play chess compared to the practice on the demon-eliminating talisman.
Maybe he really inherited the keenness and intuition of the Kuwahara family in chess. Although the chess played by Asama Kuwahara is unremarkable, there is always a sudden sound of thunder in silence, making people sweat on the back and hard to guard against.
The Hibiscus flower demon has gone from being the sixth son at the beginning to the third son now. Mujin has witnessed Kuwahara Asama's growth with her own eyes, and she is really moved with emotion.
This is a human being with infinite wonderfulness and unknowns, maybe this child really fulfills her wish.
In the past few years, Kuwahara Asama has not only learned chess from Mujin, but also played chess with his grandfather whom he has never met.
The grandfather and grandson still make one piece a week, and each side makes two pieces a month. It even took them three and a half years to finish the first game of chess.
After the chess game was over, Kuwamoto Inbo sorted out the game records.
This is an obvious guiding game, but anyone who sees this game record will be shocked by the movement of the white pieces.
Starting from the first move, it can be seen that this is a person who has not been in touch with Go for a long time. The first move is a bit thin, the second move seems to want to encircle the ground, but it is full of aggressiveness, followed by the third move, the third move The four sons all had some minor problems. It can be said that the initial layout was full of loopholes.
Gradually, when the trend entered the middle game, the taste of the white pieces changed, not to mention fewer and fewer mistakes, and he also played several wonderful moves, especially the move that the white piece gave up, not only stopped the black's offensive, He also left a glimmer of life for himself, so that black chess had to give up the follow-up offensive.
In the middle of the game, Bai Zi played steadily, he could no longer see the naivety at the beginning, and each step was thicker than the previous one, like a towering mountain, gradually growing, firm and silent, deep and calm, this wordless calm It gives people a strong sense of oppression. If you can't bear this kind of persecution, you will make faint moves, leading to final failure.
But Kuwahara Inbo's black chess did not show the slightest sign of defeat. If Kuwahara Asama's chess is a mountain, then his chess is water, and the sunspots turn into streams of water, which infiltrate the newly emerging mountain peaks into mud , and finally after the end of the official game, White lost three eyes.
Three eyes...
Kuwamoto Inbo laughed out loud. He had always thought that the world of Go had become a stagnant pool, but now seeing his grandson's chess, it was as if he had seen a glimmer of life.
"It seems that the old man will firmly occupy this position!"
It would be the most wonderful thing for him if he could face his grandson as Honinbo and play chess together in Yugen.
"Hey, boys who hit the Honinbo Tournament this year, are you ready to meet the enthusiasm of the old man?"
"Jie Jie Jie Jie~~~"
"Remove the curse?!" Kuwahara Asama repeated Chang Jingsi's words in a daze, "Cousin, you mean my eyes... can restore their light?"
Seeing Kuwahara Asama's face changing drastically, Dechang Jingji found it interesting. Over the years, his cousin has become more and more stable, and he has almost never seen him change his face. It is rare to see him like this now.
"Yes, five years have passed now. After these years of recuperation, your body should be able to withstand the backlash of the sealed curse." Chang Jingsi said softly, "It's just that the curse was sealed, Asama, that monster back then also I can find you exactly."
Kuwahara Asama was taken aback, and he understood a lot of things in an instant, such as why he was suddenly asked to learn the art of exorcism, for example, why Shizuji taught him everything... I see.
He took a deep breath and laughed, "It's okay, cousin, seal the curse!"
Kuwahara Asama got up, walked to Chang Jingsi and sat down, he took his hand, and said with a smile, "Finally, one day, I can protect my cousin too!"
"..." Zhang Jingsi stared blankly at the smiling child in front of him, his heart was complicated, and after a while, he said, "It will hurt a lot."
"But I want to see what my cousin looks like!" Kuwahara Asama didn't care at all, he shook Chang Jingji's arm, "What should I do? Is it going to be long? I can really see things ?"
Zhang Jingsi smiled unconsciously, and said softly, "Yes, I can see everything."
He made up his mind that he must succeed this time.
To curb or even lift the curse, the easiest way is naturally to kill the cursed monster.
But it's a pity, that monster was too cunning, and he still slipped away under the siege of Dechang Yimen, but even if he slipped away, Dechang Jingsi left a lot of souvenirs on him, Dechang Jingsi reckoned at least It should be fine in 20 years.
Kuwahara Asama's eyes were blinded by the curse. Although he couldn't kill the monster now, he could use another reverse curse to reverse the effect of the curse.
Chang Jingsi flipped through the family's collection of books, thought it over and over again, and finally decided to leave the family and go to the family's other courtyard in the Eastern Forest for a while. The Eastern Forest is near Yayuan. There are many monsters living there, or he can find what he needs.
"Monster hunting?" Nanase frowned, "Go to that kind of country?"
Zhang Jingsi smiled slightly, "Because it is the countryside, the monster's hostility may be more pure. Recently, some people in the family have too many thoughts, so I just need to clean it up."
"Fighting poison with poison?" Nanase was thoughtful, "Then why don't you hold a party for exorcising demons to attract everyone's attention?"
Zhang Jingsi nodded, "Okay, anyway, we have to wait for the rune materials, so we can just put a bait."
"Master Asama..."
"Let me take care of it. Although there are many people at the Demon Eliminator Party, he will be more dangerous if he is with me."
"Yes, I understand."
Even though he knew that his eyes could be restored, Kuwahara Asama didn't take this matter to heart, and he didn't notice that the atmosphere in Chang Yimen was tense, and he didn't care when Chang Jingji told him that he was going on a long trip.
If he is a blind person who has never seen anything, he may be uneasy about this, but he has traveled all over the world in his previous life, so what is there to be uneasy about?
So he played chess with Mu Jin very calmly, and even took out the latest weekly Go magazine that his grandfather sent yesterday and flipped through it.
Mu Jin lay beside him, and read out to him the game of the latest Honinbo round-robin game according to Go Weekly. Asama Kuwahara made the score silently in his heart, discussing the game with Mu Jin while writing the score.
"The Zama Throne seems to be affected by the Throne War, and this game started a little conservatively."
Hibiscus agreed, "Speaking of which, the battle for the throne last time was very fierce, Taya Yukiyo is indeed very strong." Her eyes were shining brightly, "I didn't expect that there are so many good players in the Go world. If the master is still... ..."
Mu Jin's voice dropped, Kuwahara Asama somehow comforted Mu Furong.
After so many years, he already knew that the previous owner of Mu Furong was a powerful chess player. This chess player was very eager to play chess with others, but because his chess strength was too strong, he was still unable to have a smooth battle. I can play chess with myself.
The black moves first, and the white follows closely. He played year after year. One day, there was an intersection of 360 points on the board, and there were exactly 180 black stones and 180 white stones. Harmony has really reached the realm of the legendary Tao.
The chess player smiled, and he sighed, "It's a pity that all the chess players in the world, I'm the only one who made this game."
Then he closed his eyes and passed away.
When Mu Jin cried and told this story of the past, Kuwahara Asama only had the word shock in her heart after hearing it.
For the first time, he understood what Mujin meant by the way of black and white.
In a game of chess, the black and white chess pieces made no mistakes in one move, the rhythm of the chess stretched long, peacefully and meaningfully, and together they achieved such a perfect game. The sunspots had an extra eye because of the first move, and this kind of chess game was completed by one person with two colors. For famous chess players, how desolate and lonely would this be?
"Go belongs to two people..."
Kuwahara Asama unconsciously touched the chessboard, as if feeling the loneliness and solitude of countless sages.
"So at that time, you asked me if I could play chess. In fact..." He tilted his head and asked softly, "Actually, do you want to play chess?"
"I want to play chess!!" Mujin looked at Kuwahara Asama choked with tears, "Master has been playing chess alone... how much I want to tell him that I can play chess with him, that I can play chess with him. Discuss the chess game, replay the game together, play chess together..."
"But the master can't see me!!" Mu Jin burst into tears, "I'm a monster!"
——Why can't the master see me?Why am I a monster?If I am a human being, can I play chess with my master?The master will not die of loneliness and can play chess freely?
——I want to play chess, I want to play chess with human beings, it seems that this way I can redeem the regrets of the year, it seems that my breathing will not be so painful.
——Can you play chess?Even if not, I can teach you.
——Go belongs to two people.
——Let's play chess together, shall we?
