In the depths of the bamboo forest, the spring water of the mountain stream, trickling down, the wind blowing, there is a sound of sizzling, the sound of running water, the sound of the wind, the sound of birds, and the sound of leaves are intertwined, just like a poem.

Farewell to the prosperous world and return to the mountain bamboo forest.

The fragrance of flowers accompanies the left and right, and the birds are singing.

Li Cai followed the teacher Nie Whirlwind and walked in slowly, for fear of breaking this quiet and peaceful scene.

In the distance, I saw a house, and a person outside the door was leisurely watering the flowers.

Li Cai and his teacher Nie Whirlwind took a closer look, only to find that the person who watered the flowers was Master Wu Qingyuan who they were going to visit.

Li Cai and the teacher Nie Whirlwind hurriedly greeted the master.

The master waved his hand to signal not to be so restrained, then put down the kettle in his hand and said to the master and apprentice, "Come in and sit." ”

Entering the house, Li Cai took a look, it was very simple, there was nothing, and most of the items in the room were related to Go.

After the master and apprentice sat down with Master Wu Qingyuan, they saw a person come out of the inner room, it was the master's spouse, Mrs. Wu Hezi, who brought three cups of tea, and then went to the inner room again, so as not to disturb the conversation between the three of them.

After greeting for a while, Master Wu Qingyuan spoke: "Xiao Nie, you have a very good eye for accepting apprentices, and you are even more powerful than your Go level! Especially your little apprentice Li Cai, I watched his chess in the finals, and I am very pleased, and I feel that in the new Go of the 21st century, he will lead an era!"

Listening to Master Wu Qingyuan's words, Nie Whirlwind was not angry, but said happily: "I also think that Xiao Cai is the most proud of my many disciples, but I think he doesn't understand the layout in the finals and semifinals. ”

Master Wu Qingyuan smiled and said, "You! Only pursue a gorgeous and majestic chess style, and would rather lose than follow a vulgar move, it is too rigid, and Li Cai's layout is very suitable for the new theory I put forward - Liuhe chess." ”

Liuhe is a theory of Go proposed by Master Wu Qingyuan on "Go in the 21st Century".

Nowadays, many professional chess players compete for the victory or defeat of Go, completely forgetting the original idea of yin and yang in Go.

He didn't pay attention to the study of Go theory at all, and only after the appearance of Alpha Dog and the defeat of Liuhe Chess learned by Alpha Dog did he pay attention to the new theory proposed by Master Wu Qingyuan.

And Li Cai made a new layout ahead of schedule, which will bring a new revolution to the Go world.

When the alpha dog appears, the Go world will not lose as badly as in the previous life.

Neither Master Wu Qingyuan nor Nie Whirlwind could convince anyone. Therefore, the two of them kept silent about it.

Master Wu Qingyuan said to Li Cai: "Come, child, play a game of chess with you, let me see your new layout." ”

When Li Cai heard this, he immediately became happy. After all, that was the purpose of his visit to the master.

Master Wu Qingyuan looked at Li Cai, who was only eight years old, and sighed: "There are talents from all generations of the country, and each has been leading the way for hundreds of years!"

After finishing speaking, I couldn't help but fall into memories, thinking that I was also famous at a young age, known as the "Go prodigy" at the age of 11, invincible in China at the age of 13, and the neon country at the age of 14, 19 self-innovative layout, from the age of 25 to 42, defeating all the world's first-class masters at that time, known as the "Showa Chess Saint", and the uncrowned throne of "the first in the world" in his life. Although not as demonic as Li Cai, he won the world championship at the age of eight and innovated his own layout.

However, after his retirement, Master Wu Qingyuan devoted his whole life to promoting the development of Go in China by promoting the internationalization of Go, and also put forward a new theory of Go - Liuhe Chess.

Seeing that Master Wu Qingyuan was stunned, Li Cai was not easy to disturb, but soon Master Wu Qingyuan came back to his senses and motioned for Li Cai to go down first.

After Li Cai got the system reward, he had the passivity of the Alpha Dog Go game theory, and after comparison, Li Cai himself also had a new idea, although it was not very mature, but it was just used to consult Master Wu Qingyuan.

As a result, Li Cai started with Tian Yuan, which surprised both the teacher Nie Whirlwind and the master Wu Qingyuan.

After all, in the current 21st century Go, it is said that the golden horn and silver edge grass belly, the same empty, the chess piece is the highest efficiency in the corner, followed by the edge, and finally the center. So, now it's all about taking the corner first, occupying the edge, and playing chess like the center.

But Li Cai's first song was on the Tianyuan in the center, which made the teacher Nie Whirlwind next to him very incomprehensible, but Master Wu Qingyuan was only taken aback for a moment and continued to play chess.

After all, when Master Wu Qingyuan was young, he also had a new layout that was not understood by the world.

As the layout deepened, Li Cai didn't occupy a single corner, but just played chess around the center, which made Master Wu Qingyuan feel incomprehensible.

However, after arriving in the middle game, the big appearance formed by Li Cai's layout appeared, which made Nie Xuanfeng, the teacher who was watching the chess next to him, and Wu Qingyuan, the master of the game, feel suddenly enlightened.

When the master Wu Qingyuan entered Li Cai's big appearance, there was a deviation in the calculation, and Li Cai slaughtered the big dragon and lost the game.

After all, after the grandmaster's car accident, the level of Go is much worse than before, and it is normal for computing power to decline.

Li Cai just sighed that it was a pity that he couldn't learn from the masters at his peak!

During the review, the three of them discussed and studied the layout just now, and Li Cai also said his thoughts, as well as some about the Alpha Dog Theory.

I gave the teacher Nie Whirlwind and the master Wu Qingyuan a great touch.

When doing something selflessly, people forget time.

Seeing that the sun was about to set, the three of them knew that so much time had passed.

Although the master tried his best to keep the master and apprentice, saying that he was not going to eat after dinner, he still didn't want to disturb the master, after all, the master was old and needed a lot of time to rest. And there is still a lot to do in the country.

The master and apprentice hurriedly returned to the hotel, took their luggage, and the Kobe beef that Tohi Enji promised Li Cai was also ready, and someone was specially sent to send it over.

It can be said that Li Cai's trip to the Fujitsu Cup has brought him a lot of gains.

Honor, food, and new insights in the realm of Go have all been gained.

After returning to China overnight, Li Cai went directly to the teacher Nie Xuanfeng's house to sleep.

After all, the teacher said, there will be an award ceremony and a celebration for yourself tomorrow.

The next morning, at dawn, Li Cai was woken up by the teacher.

"Hurry up, I'm going to the chess academy, and there will be an award ceremony to award you the honor of the ninth dan later. ”

Li Cai could only struggle to get up and followed the teacher to the Huaguo Chess Academy.

As soon as I came to the Huaguo Chess Academy, I saw many reporters, Li Cai's senior brothers and sisters also arrived early, and many older generation chess players and leaders in the Go world came, just waiting for Li Cai, the protagonist, to arrive.

Because there were too many reporters at the front door, Li Cai had to follow the teacher Nie Whirlwind to enter through the back door.
