"Lee, do you know Zuo Wei? Is there really such a person in Chinese history?"

Li Qing is an international student at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Lee is his English name, and when he heard someone call him, he turned his head to see that it was his roommate and best friend. It is a very rare thing to meet a roommate who "smells like" in a foreign country.

"Zuo Wei?" Li Qing muttered, his roommate's name was Justin Barne, abbreviated as JB, since he knew the meaning of the word in Huaxia, his roommate no longer let him call him by his abbreviated name.

Bahn's Chinese was not good, Li Qing didn't hear it clearly for a while, they had just finished class, so Barn wrote the name in his notebook for Li Qing to see.

However, Li Qing shook his head, he didn't remember any famous person named Zuo Wei in Chinese history. Barn put away his notebook and said to Li Qing as he walked, "Don't you know?

"Huang Longshi, who is that?" Li Qing looked at Bahn suspiciously, he didn't know why Bahn suddenly asked him these names.

"A chess player, I heard that he is very good at playing Go!" Barn described to Li Qing, "There is also a person named Ben Yin Fang Xiuce, who also plays Go, but from the island country, do you know?"

"I don't know much about Go......" Li Qing shrugged, "Then again, why did you suddenly become interested in Go?"

From Barne's description of his eyebrows dancing excitedly, Li Qing realized that it was the roommate's idol, the porter master, who drew a cartoon related to Go. He also likes comics, and it is precisely because they both share the same hobby that they can "smell like each other". Anime festival for the past two years. They all went together.

But. He's been busy lately, so he doesn't have time to read comics, so he doesn't know that there are new comics. And Barn is not a professional with him, and he has not been busy lately.

"How good is "Chess Soul"?" Li Qing became interested, Go is synonymous with boring, stubbornness, and old man in his eyes, it is better to think of chess, etc., which is simple and clear, and backgammon is more interesting than that. This kind of game is only popular in Asia, here in the United States. It's simply a Go desert, and there is no market at all.

What kind of story can make a person like Barn, who does not know about Go and cannot like this boring game at all (Li Qing knows Barn very well about his temperament), become interested in Go?

"It's super interesting! I just realized that Go is also so interesting! You can also take a look! In other words, Huaxia is obviously the birthplace of Go, why don't you, as a Chinese, even know about your own country's Go celebrities?"

Barn suddenly gave Li Qing a disdainful glance.

"......" Li Qing was speechless, if he wanted to talk about a Go celebrity, he knew one.

Li Changgao. Although he has the same surname as Li, this person is a stick. It can be said that he is the first person to play Go, and has won the championship of any world-class Go competition, and has truly achieved the "Grand Slam" of the World Go Championship.

The most important thing is that he is very young, and the news and advertisements about him are overwhelming, even for people like Li Qing, who are completely uninterested in and do not understand Go, they also know that Li Changgao is a very NB Go master.

As the birthplace of Go in Huaxia, the only Go celebrity he knows is a stick, and I have to say that this is a very sad thing.

So he simply didn't bother to say the name.

The two went to buy vegetables first, and then drove to the dormitory. Li Qing knows a little home-cooked food, and when he goes out, he has eaten enough of those "shoddy" foods, so that Li Qing, who has never cooked before, is also forced to learn a few hands. After Barn tasted it once, he completely immersed himself in Chinese cuisine, so he didn't know how to cook, so he shouldered the task of buying vegetables and washing dishes.

However, since he can eat these delicacies, he is also very happy with this little thing.

After stir-frying a few dishes casually, the two solved the stomach problem, from beginning to end, Barne's mouth never stopped, and he spoiled Li Qing at length for the recent comics, among which the most talked about was "Chess Soul", which was only serialized for a short time.

Li Qing can't wait to stab this guy to death, doesn't he know what a bad act spoilers are?

Not long ago, didn't there be a bloody case caused by "spoilers" in the island country? It seems that he spoiled Conan to his friends, and then he was almost killed by his friends who couldn't bear it.

even let "Conan" enter the legal news again, and some people clamored to ban "Conan". It's a pity that the power of the masses is great, and the serialization of "Conan" has become a part of many people's lives so far, and such a move is obviously unpopular. And the island country is an electoral system, and the career of the person who clamored to ban "Conan" may also be worrying.

However, according to the grapevine, this person seems to have made such a statement because his wife fell in love with Kidd and Shinichi, so he ate the vinegar of a virtual character.

Thinking about it this way, it is not surprising that he made such a move.

After eating at the fastest speed in his life, Li Qing put down the bowl, and the rest of the work was Barn's, he returned to his room, closed the door hard, and the world was finally clear.

After so many spoilers, he already has a rough idea of the story. In short, it is a story about the soul of a chess addict who is obsessed with Go, possessed by a child who can't play Go at all, so let this child start the road of Go.

It's really simple and cliché to say, but the Great Demon King has the ability to turn decay into magic, making this very boring story for other people to write and draw into a wonderful story.

The three people Barn asked him about, one was the name of the ghost of the chess idiot, and the other two were the first two people possessed by the chess idiot. After reading it, Li Qing went to search for these three names.

He Chen added an extra name here, that is, Huang Longshi, a very famous chess saint in Chinese history. He has been smart since childhood, talented, reciting over and over again, never forgetting for a hundred days, especially for Go is even more talented, when he was a teenager, he was known as Jianghuai with his superb level of Go.

The young Huang Longshi was not satisfied with being in a corner, and in order to pursue the development of chess skills, he was determined to visit famous artists all over the country. Since the third year of Kangxi, the 13-year-old Huang Longshi went south and north with his father, and after the tempering of the chess scene in the capital city, Huang Longshi's chess skills have become better and better. At the age of sixteen or seventeen, he was invincible and had a brilliant record, and was known as the "victorious general". When he was 18 years old, he played against the famous leading national player in Beijing who had been galloping in the chess world for more than 50 years, and won seven victories in seven battles. The victory over Shandayou marked that Huang Longshi reached the pinnacle of chess skills in the early Qing Dynasty and established Huang Longshi's status as a "chess saint".

The reason why he used this person was that in addition to the ambition of "exporting Chinese culture", He Chen also had his own considerations.

First of all, this person's age is nearly two hundred years earlier than the age of Ben Yin Fang Xiu Ce - Zuo Wei has been wandering for a thousand years, it is impossible that only one Ben Yin Fang Xiuce has picked him up, right? Adding this person can further highlight Zuo Wandering Millennium's deep attachment and love for Go.

Secondly, this person has the same background as Honinbo Hidesaku - both have the name of a child prodigy, and both have already made a name for themselves in Go at a very young age (when Honinbo Hideharu was eighteen years old, he won the name of "Brainy Skill" after playing against Inshuo in Osaka). After reading the chess game, Zhang He was shocked by the genius of one hundred and fifty years, compared with the chess saint Dao Ce one hundred and fifty years ago).

all have the setting of "being possessed by Zuo will be so extraordinary".

Thirdly, although the details of the two are different, they both have the same characteristics, and they are both good at layout. Huang Longshi's game is light and changeable, his thinking is clear, the situation is open, and his spirit is magnificent.

There is a self-preface in his book "Yi Kuo", which is a summary of his practical experience, with incisive insights and thought-provoking, which reads: "Breaking through the territory and opening up the universe, there is nothing outside, the danger is the capital, and the concise is the starting point. This is to talk about the layout of the hand, to occupy the main points of the game, to "make the capital" and "to make the fortress", so that the chess has a basis and attack and defend the fortress; it is necessary to think from the local idea to the overall situation, and from the starting point to consider the future development.

In the end, this is also a description of Zuo Wei. Zuo Wei pursues the "god hand" of Go, and does not stick to the old-fashioned style.

In the original work, when I first came, I played against Ta Ya Liang, and Ta Ya Liang described in his heart as Jin Fuji Hikaru (Zuo Wei), the chess style is simple, and the oldest Xiu Ce Ding Shi is used, if it is based on the rules of the year, it will be a good move, but now the rules have changed, and this move is very ordinary.

However, in the subsequent chess games, Taya Liang felt the change in the style of chess, "as if Xiuce was learning modern Dingshi", which shows that Zuo Wei has always been improving.

Wandering for thousands of years, the times are changing, the rules are changing, and Zuowei is also changing.

However, the only thing that remains unchanged is indeed the heart that loves Go deeply.

The story has not changed much, so to speak, only an extra story has been added to the dialogue. However, this insignificant stroke can add a thicker layer of historical flavor to Zuowei. The general history can also make people feel more and more deeply Zuo Wei's persistent heart of seeking the truth, and lay a deeper emotional foreshadowing for Zuo Wei's change and departure in the future.

Years later, Hua Bin came to Ping'an City again, but he didn't come to play chess with him.

“…… He Chen, is there really a Zuo Wei in your body? This "Chess Soul" you painted, could it be said that it is an adaptation of your real life and real story?" Hua Bin looked at He Chen strangely.

He Chen's terrifying speed of progress was really unforgettable for him. Therefore, when I saw the comic "Chess Soul", I unconsciously connected it with He Chen. Not only that, if He Chen's matter is true, then the historical Huang Longshi and Ben Yin Fang Xiuce ......

When people are old, they always like to think crankily.

"I said yes, do you believe it?"

"Faith!"

“……”

He Chen was speechless. (To be continued......)
