Who is Yuan Zhi? Sounds familiar.

Zhou Xuan pondered this name repeatedly, thinking about which friend around him also called this name. Kobayashi went to the study, brought a delicate silk bag, opened it carefully, and gently poured out the contents.

It is a fragment of some stone, mottled gray-brown, revealing the atmosphere of ancient vicissitudes, with shallow lines and dots on it, which is a broken chess game.

"Those are those two words." Kobayashi Shoichi took out a small fragment from it and handed it over.

The two words that are very clear, in regular script, are Yuanzhi. Suddenly, a name appeared in Zhou Xuan's mind, Xu Shu, the character is straight!

Zhou Xuan's heart set off turbulent waves, the character of Xu Shu, he had heard his master mention it many times, and he once served as the imperial historian in the imperial court, and his official position was not high, but his talent was immeasurable.

Xu Shu once had a close relationship with Zhong Xuan, who was the originator of regular script, so Xu Shu admired regular script and thought that it was more convenient to write. It's just that he didn't get Zhong Xuan's support because of this.

Later, Xu Shu died in Pengcheng, and the master also took Zhou Xuan to the memorial service, and saw that the feng shui of his grave was very strange, and after careful inspection, he laughed.

Zhou Xuan looked puzzled, but the memorial sage laughed loudly, which was a violation of benevolence and etiquette. The master said that Xu Shu had good means, he must not have died, and the golden cicada came out of his shell, perhaps living in seclusion on a certain immortal island, which was enviable.

"The fruit is washed, let's eat it together." Bae Seung-nan brought the fruits picked from the island and invited everyone to taste them as a thank you.

Zhou Xuan had a flash of inspiration, and recalled that the small island with excellent feng shui that he passed by before should be the place where the chess game was discovered, could it be that Xu Shu lived there in seclusion?

It is very likely that Xu Shu will definitely choose a place with good feng shui, as for where he went later, it is unknown.

"Mr. Zhou Xuan, have you ever remembered anything?" Kobayashi Shoichi's words pulled Zhou Xuan back from his memories.

"Nope!" Zhou Xuan didn't tell the truth.

"By the way, there's one more thing!" Kobayashi Shoichi went to the study again, and when he came out, he was holding a small triangular black flag in his hand.

"This thing is together with the chess game, I think, it should be a kind of herald flag in ancient times!"

Of course, it's not a herald flag, it's clearly a formation flag, and the lines on it are runes. Zhou Xuan already has two array flags, and now that a third one has appeared, how can he not be excited? After taking over the formation flag, I looked at it repeatedly and couldn't put it down. This array flag is still a little different from the previous two, the runes on it are more complicated, and the lines of the traditional Chinese style can be faintly seen.

"Although I don't know what this is, I can be sure that it is something from ancient times in our country." Zhou Xuan said.

"Why don't you give these to Mr." Kobayashi is a one.

"No, it's precious!" Zhou Xuan waved his hand.

"I'm old, it's useless to keep it, give it to you, and it will be returned to its original owner!" Kobayashi insisted.

"I admire the realm of the gentleman." Zhou Xuan wanted it very much, not to mention the chess game, but this array flag was something that could be met but not sought, in the dark, it seemed that someone guided him to collect the array flag, presumably there must be a shocking secret hidden behind it.

"I'm still a calligraphy lover, I wonder if I can get a pair of calligraphy treasures from Mr.?" Kobayashi asked tentatively, he also knew about Zhou Xuan's inscription for Linhai University.

"Of course, I don't know what Mr. needs to write?" Zhou Xuan agreed.

"Great, thank you very much!" Kobayashi Zhengyi first thanked him, and then said: "I like your country's "Tao Te Ching", just write a sentence for me, I have three treasures, one is Ci, the second is Jane, and the third is not the first in the world." ”

"Please bring pen and ink!" Zhou Xuan said.

Kobayashi Zhengyi hurriedly brought a large roll of rice paper, and was about to cut it with a knife, Zhou Xuan waved his hand, indicating that it was not necessary, drank a few more sips of wine, and wrote with a pen.

"The Tao is good, the Tao is very good, the name is famous, the name is not ......"

This time, Zhou Xuan was slightly drunk, but he still carried his pen like flying, and wrote 5,000 words of the Tao Te Ching. However, this time he did not use the standard Han Lishu to write, and his font was more flexible, between Lishu and Xingshu.

Kobayashi Zhengyi, who was watching from the sidelines, was so excited that he couldn't speak, and they all said that Zhou Xuan had great talents, and he really understood today.

"This is a special font, to use a poem of your country, to describe it horizontally, it looks like a peak on the side of the ridge, and the distance and the height are different." Kobayashi Shoyi praised sincerely.

"Please sir, smile!" Zhou Xuan didn't bring a seal, but he signed his name carefully.

Kobayashi carefully put the ink treasure aside, only to realize that it was already midnight, and time passed so quickly, and he still felt unfinished.

The pieces of chess and the formation flag were put into a silk bag, and Kobayashi Shoichi personally handed them over to Zhou Xuan, and then they went back to their rooms to rest.

No need to be on the floating sailboat, Zhou Xuan and the three of them slept very sweetly, but Kobayashi Zhengyi had insomnia, looking at the words repeatedly, the mystery contained in it was like playing chess, which was worth slowly experiencing and savoring.

Before dawn, the translation officer came to visit and said politely to Zhou Xuan: "Mr. Zhou, I am very sorry to disturb you at this time, please leave the island with me." ”

"Good!"

Zhou Xuan agreed, his pause and departure were related to the other party's sea activities, and he also wanted to leave as soon as possible. Pei Shengnan and Guan Qing both shouted that they hadn't slept enough, and Kobayashi was waiting outside the door, and when he saw Zhou Xuan, he handed him a large bag of food, "I hope it will be useful to you." ”

"Mr. Kobayashi, thank you so much!" Zhou Xuan said sincerely.

"You're too polite, it's just a farewell today, and I don't know when we'll see each other."

Kobayashi Zhengyi was reluctant and insisted on sending Zhou Xuan to the seaside, and the sailboat set sail in the wind, and the old man could be seen waving goodbye far away.

After sending Zhou Xuan all the way to the abrupt island, the other party's ship left.

"Wow, there's chocolate!" Pei Shengnan couldn't wait to pull the bag of food, and exclaimed, "Haha, there are dried fish!" ”

"Is this a bamboo shoot, you can eat it for a long time." Guan Qing also squatted next to him and watched with interest.

Zhou Xuan didn't care about eating, what he was most happy about was that someone had filled up the fuel again, although it hadn't consumed much before.

After bidding farewell to the island, life on the sailboat returned to peace, but the news about Zhou Xuan began to spread widely.

The low-key Japanese Go master suddenly appeared in the public eye, accompanied by the enigmatic chess game and the sprinkled "Tao Te Ching"!

The Go world and calligraphy world are naturally sensational, but Zhou Xuan, who has a star temperament, soon became the idol of the new generation of young people, forward and forward! Zhou Xuan has made all kinds of headlines, and in this Internet era where speed wins, it has also appeared in the media headlines in his country.

At the same time, the Tao Te Ching has also become a hot book, and careful people have found that there are discrepancies in the content of the contemporary standard version. As a result, the "Supplementary Analects" jointly published by Zhou Xuan and Yan Pingchuan was hotly discussed, and everyone speculated whether this was the updated "Tao Te Ching".

When he opened his eyes in the morning, Yu Jiangzhou was shocked when he saw the news, why did Zhou Xuan suddenly appear on the island of Japan?
