Chapter 1400: Tianyuan Yishifa and Daxie Dingshi, the "God's Move" that countless chess players pursue throughout their lives

Emperor Yan: "I remember now, the heaven and earth are united, and the devil is transformed!"

Yan Di: "Is he a Go player?"

Xiao Yan subconsciously said the two most familiar names deep in his memory.

Ordinary group leader: "Playing Go is indeed playing Go, but the Great Unity of Heaven and Earth and the Great Transformation of Heaven and Demon belong to Jiang Liuer and Hei Mu."

Ordinary group leader: "Can you confuse Go Boy and Soul of Go?"

Su Yunqing is of course familiar with the name Fujiwara Sawa. Although Hikaru no Go is an anime with a relatively old feel, it is also quite exciting. And like Captain Tsubasa and Slam Dunk, it is the kind of thing that you would want to try after watching it.

Before she traveled through time, someone had remade Hikaru no Go, which was also very popular.

Su Yunqing thought it was normal that Xiao Yan knew about Fujiwara no Sawa, because the anime of Hikaru no Go came out very early, before Xiao Yan traveled through time, so it was not surprising that he had seen it, but Su Yunqing did not expect that he could confuse Hikaru no Go with Go Boy.

Ordinary group leader: "Yeah, with Xun'er by my side, my brain doesn't have time to reminisce about a mere anime from my past life."

Ordinary group leader: "It's remarkable that you remembered that Fujiwara Sawa was a Go player."

Emperor Yan: "Ahem."

Xiao Yan touched his nose somewhat awkwardly. After all, he had traveled through time for a long time. In addition, there was a cultivation system called Dou Qi in the Dou Qi Continent that did not exist in his previous life. It allowed people to possess powerful strength. How could he have the time to recall the anime from his previous life? It was normal for him to get confused.

Fujiwara no Sawa: "May I ask what is the unity of heaven and earth and the great transformation of the devil?"

Fujiwara Sawa: “Is the world of Go boys a world?”

Fujiwara no Sawa: "Are the great unity of heaven and earth and the great transformation of heaven and demons the 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 Xiao Yan and Su Yunqing talking about the unity of heaven and earth and the great transformation of the devil in the chat group, his confused eyes lit up instantly, and excitement and curiosity appeared on his face.

Chat groups are good. If he joins a chat group, he can play Go with people from other worlds. Are Tianmo Dahua and Tiandi Datong the two patterns for people from other worlds to play Go? It sounds amazing.

I really want to play chess with them. I really want to know the principles behind these two patterns.

Ordinary group owner: "Well, how should I put it."

Ordinary group leader: "Heaven and Earth is an ancient chess game, originally called Tianyuan Yishifa, which was first invented by Du Ling. The first move is to place the Tianyuan position."

Ancient chess games are all seated chess, where black and white pieces are placed diagonally, usually directly in the corners or on the edges.

There are very few moves that Tianyuan makes, and they are easy to fail, so Du Ling's move is quite shocking. It means that no matter how the chess game evolves in the future, Tianyuan's move can play a supporting role, just like all under heaven belongs to the king, so it is the unity of heaven and earth.

Ordinary group leader: "Tenma Taika is actually the Daisaka-no-Tateki, which was created by Honinbo Jōwa of the island country. It is said to have a thousand variations, and contains countless tricks and traps. If you are not careful in dealing with it, you may suffer a loss or collapse."

Ordinary group leader: "Because it is said that people who study this pattern tend to become obsessed with it, just like the inner demon is aroused. As the saying goes, demons are born from the heart, and their changes are endless, so it is the great transformation of the heavenly demon."

Ordinary group leader: "But it has been strengthened a bit in the Go youth, giving people the feeling that as long as you use it, you will definitely win."

When Fujiwara Sawa heard the name "Honinbo Jōwa", a hint of understanding appeared in his eyes. He knew this name. It was the Go master of the late Edo period that was reborn after his death. He was known as the "later sage" and a legendary figure in the history of Go, on par with the "earlier sage" Dosaku.

When he possessed Torajiro, he got to know the other party's chess skills. Showa's chess skills were so superb that even he felt sincere admiration for him. He was a powerful chess player, and every move he made was full of power and decisiveness, which could not be underestimated.

He naturally knew about the Great Slant Pattern, but he didn't expect that this pattern also existed in other worlds. Is it the Great Transformation of the Heavenly Demon? It's really an appropriate name.

However, compared to the big diagonal form, he was more curious about the Tianyuan Yishi method mentioned by Su Yunqing. Although he had never heard of this name, he could feel the special nature of this form 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 makes him curious, and it is difficult for him to imagine what kind of pattern can achieve this.

Fujiwara no Sawa was extremely excited by his passion for Go. If these two people were in front of him, he would probably be eager to invite them to compete in a game of Go to see if this "Heaven and Earth Harmony" pattern was really so magical, and also to see the attainments in Go of Honinbo Jō and this "later saint" who rose to prominence after his death.

It's just a pity
Fujiwara Sawa: “I’m already dead.”

There was a trace of loneliness in Fujiwara Sawa's eyes, and he sighed softly. Death was not a scary thing for him. Having spent so many years as a ghost, chasing after "God's Hand", he had become accustomed to this attitude.

The only thing that made him feel regretful was that he could not touch the familiar chessboard again and experience the joy and excitement of playing chess personally.

He recalled the crisp and pleasant sound of the chess pieces falling on the chessboard, a melody that he would never get tired of listening to in his entire life. The round and smooth feel of the chess pieces seemed to be engraved deep in his soul. Even after death, he would never forget that touch.

Fujiwara Sawa's face revealed his infinite attachment to 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. However, all this can only become his eternal memory.

Kasumi Shiko: "Dead?"

Kasumi Shiko: "So you are a soul now?"

Kasumi Shiko: "Are you in the underworld?"

Kasumigaoka Utaha didn't know how Fujiwara Sawa was feeling, she was just a little surprised that Fujiwara Sawa was already dead. From what the group leader and Fujiwara Sawa said just now, it was not difficult to see that his world should be an everyday world, or a world dominated by Go.

After all, the group members invited by the chat group all have extremely high luck in their world. They are either the protagonists or important supporting roles. She doesn't believe that for a group member who is so obsessed with Go, his world is not centered on Go.

When Uchiha Madara joined the chat group, he was also in the form of a soul. It was not surprising that there was underworld in the Naruto world, but Fujiwara Sawa was somewhat surprised that there was also underworld in a world dominated by Go.

Fujiwara Sawa: "The underworld? I don't know."

Fujiwara Sawa: "After I died, my body was attached to a chessboard, and it has been there until now."

Fujiwara Sawa was not sure whether there was an underworld in his world. After his death, he was possessed by a chessboard for unknown reasons and has been wandering in the world for a thousand years until now.

Kasumi Shiko: "Possessed on the chessboard?"

Kasumi Shiko: "After you died, did anyone see you possessed on the chessboard? Then, due to a series of reasons, they became your disciples and eventually became a Go master?"

Kasumigaoka Utaha inexplicably felt that this plot seemed a little familiar, as if she had seen it somewhere.

Fujiwara Sawa: "Become a disciple? Torajiro didn't become my disciple."

Fujiwara Sawa: "On the contrary, I am very happy to have met Torajiro, which gave me another chance to play chess with him."

Fujiwara Sawa shook his head slightly when he saw what Kasumigaoka Utaha said. Although he gave Torajiro some help 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 times after his death.

He held the chess piece in a different posture, listened to the sound of the chess piece falling in another posture, and was able to play chess with chess players of later generations. Every day of those 26 years was so wonderful to him, like a dream.

Kasumi Shiko: "It's a similar but different script to Entei."

Kasumi Shiko: "But is it an illusion, Torajiro? Why do I feel like I've heard this name somewhere before?"

Kasumigaoka Utaha murmured the name, she always felt like she had seen this name somewhere.

Osaka-style, Honinbo Jowa, Go.
As if she had thought of something, Kasumigaoka Utaha picked up her phone and started searching. Three seconds later, she looked at the message on the phone with a surprised expression on her face.

Kasumi Shiko: "The Torajiro you are talking about is not Honinbo Shusaku, right?"

Fujiwara Sawa: "Do you know him?"

Fujiwara Sawa was a little confused.

Kasumi Shiko: "How could I not recognize him? He is Honinbo Shusaku!"

Kasumi Shiko: "The greatest player of the golden age of Go, known as one of the Three Saints of Go along with Honinbo Dosaku and Honinbo Jowa."

Kasumi Shiko: "Even though I'm just a student, I've heard of people like this."

Kasumigaoka Utaha said a little excitedly.

Rather than saying that she knew him, it would be more accurate to say that many people in the entire island country knew Honinbo Shusaku. Even if they didn't know much about Go, they had at least heard of his name.

He learned Go from his mother since he was young and showed amazing talent.

At the age of 6, he defeated all the chess 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 a game, where his chess skills were recognized and he was given the surname "Yasuda".

Later, he became a disciple of the abbot of Takehara Hosenji Temple, Master Baozhen, and learned Go, Chinese and Confucian culture.

He obtained the first-level certification at the age of 11, was promoted to fourth-dan at the age of 15, and was given the character "Xiu" at the age of 16 and changed his name to Shusaku Yasuda.

He created legendary records such as being undefeated as black and winning 19 consecutive games in Go.

Umaru-chan: "I remember now. If it's Honinbo Shusaku, I've heard of that name too."

Umaru-chan: "People in the Go club once said that among all the Go players in the island country, Honinbo Shusaku's Go attainments can be ranked in the top three."

When Koumaro saw what Kasumigaoka Utaha said, she remembered it. Although she did not play Go, there was a Go club in her school. She had heard the name Honinbo Shusaku from the people in the club.

Ordinary group leader: "After all, they are historical figures, so it's normal."

An ordinary group leader: "But Honinbo Shusaku in Hikaru no Go world is a little different from yours."

Ordinary group leader: "Because the chess moves played by Honinbo Shusaku in Hikaru no Go were basically made by Fujiwara no Sawa."

Ordinary group leader: "During the Heian period, Fujiwara no Sawa committed suicide by drowning because of a frame-up, 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 hand substitute, playing chess for him."

An ordinary group leader: "The Honinbo Shusaku you know is actually Fujiwara no Sawa in the world of Hikaru no Go to some extent."

An ordinary group leader: "But neither of them is chasing fame, they just want to play chess. The other one is conquered by his chess skills and knows that she will never be able to surpass him in her lifetime, so she is willing to be his hands."

Torajiro has a high talent for Go and a great love for the game, but he is far inferior to Fujiwara no Sawa.

It was also because of Fujiwara Sawa's passion and persistence for Go, as well as his superb chess skills that conquered Torajiro, so he willingly became Fujiwara Sawa's hands in playing Go, allowing Fujiwara Sawa's chess skills to be fully utilized.

Ordinary group owner: "You will know the details after I upload the memory copy."

An ordinary group leader: "When I first watched Hikaru no Go, I thought that Shindo Hikaru would use Fujiwara no Sawa to show his power in front of the Go masters. Although he did show his power, it was somewhat different from what I imagined."

Ordinary group leader: "However, as a person who loves Go, how can I refuse the feeling of playing chess myself?"

Ordinary group leader: "The awakening of Shindo Hikaru and the disappearance of Fujiwara Sai were expected to some extent."

Ordinary group leader: "God's hand"

In the setting of Hikaru no Go, Fujiwara no Sawa's purpose of wandering in the human world for a thousand years is to complete a mission, which is to let Shindo Hikaru see and understand a key game of Go. When this mission is completed, Sawa's existence loses its meaning.

Sai passed on his chess skills and love to Shindo Hikaru, and as Shindo Hikaru gradually grew into an excellent chess player, Sai also completed his mission in the world.

He spent his entire life pursuing the "master move", but in the end he never made it. Instead, Hikaru Shindo, who was a bystander, discovered the master move while enjoying the game.

This also made Fujiwara Sawa realize that he had been waiting for a thousand years just for this moment, to let Shindo Hikaru see and understand the move of God.

Before disappearing, Fujiwara Sawa showed a calm acceptance of his fate. He understood that he could not stay in the world forever, nor did he have eternal time to continue pursuing the ultimate in Go.

Therefore, he chose to leave peacefully when he still had control.

On a sunny Boy's Day, while Xiaoguang was taking a nap, Fujiwara Sawa disappeared.
