Looking at the ceiling, after some hard thought and meditation, Hanye Xuan had a flash of inspiration.

"Yes, why don't you use that look, it's guaranteed to surprise everyone."

Hanye Xuan showed a bad smile.

He fell asleep satisfied.

......

......

The cold rain continued all night, and the sky was as clear as if it had been washed the next day.

Today's chess academy is still very lively.

Since the announcement of the Dragon Seat Team Competition, the chess world has once again entered a state of excitement and started a new round of involution.

This year's event is unprecedentedly luxurious, not only with the bloody gimmick of fighting on the sea, but also with the most affordable prize money being much higher than before.

Although everyone is talking about the second in the competitive industry, no one will remember the second, but this is just what everyone says, and it is implemented at the practical level...... Not to mention the second, even the third and fourth are excellent, and having a bonus is a victory.

In this Dragon Throne Battle, there are a lot more sponsors than before, and the investment is also greater, and the most direct impact is the crazy rise in the total prize money.

And these rising bonuses did not pour into the championship trophy, but were distributed downwards to the lower rankings, so that more players could enjoy the bonuses.

"I hope to have a banquet that belongs to everyone, not just the champion." Mr. Hanno said with such relief.

As long as you pass the qualifiers and successfully enter the main tournament to qualify for the cruise ship, you will get a prize money, which is a great temptation for most chess players.

Although everyone's salary is not low, the concept of bonus is different, and it contains an element of glory, which is more attractive than a salary of the same price.

By the way, the prize money for the championship of this year's dragon throne battle remains unchanged from the previous one, which is still 180 million yen.

As long as you don't touch the property, it's a huge amount of money.

Although this huge amount of money has nothing to do with most people, it is.

But there are still people who try their luck with the mentality of lottery, such as ...... Hug up to the thighs.

"Fail! I was left behind from the beginning of the layout! ”

"The officials are terrible! Go buy two more exercises and do it! ”

"You can't, you're not qualified to join our team at all!"

In the center of the training hall, the bamboo knife forging sent home one after another the players who wanted to hug their thighs.

"Who's next?" The bamboo knife forging said sharply.

As a result, no one responded, and they retreated.

In the corner of the chess courtyard, Narita Shunji frowned and said: "Damn, I originally thought that he could calm down for a while after being sanctioned by Kejiguang in the battle of famous generals, but who knew that after the dragon seat battle was suddenly announced in the form of a team battle, this person became even more energetic." ”

"If you can't beat it, join it, I've learned this trick, and I'll do it next time." Noriyuki Sasahara was also beeping quietly.

An Yongxin also nodded and agreed: "That's it, it's just too much than me, at best, I'm praising my opponent, who would have thought that this person would join directly, optimistic about how to use this thing as material between black and white." ”

The three of them have officially announced their team, and the other two are Yamaoka and Soma Yae, and they are the standard ones who don't want to compete for many places, but only want to get on the boat.

Speaking of which, they are all members of Ke Zhiguang's second-tier family and friend group.

Hearing the sound of controversy coming from all directions, the bamboo knife forging has been in a state of hard fists.

Although he was hammered by Ke Zhiguang, in his subconscious, he and Ke Zhiguang were on the same level, and the two sides were rivals, so he happily took on the role of backbone.

As a result, it is embarrassing now, and "join if you can't beat it" has become a meme for him.

Of course, what embarrassed him even more was...... Now the whole team, he is the only one who is seriously recruiting teammates, and the other two are like dropping.

Especially on Ke Zhiguang's side, suddenly there was a sentence that I would take a test to suppress the shock, and then there was no one.

He also made a point of emphasizing that after the exam, he might have to spend a day or two to celebrate.

This..... It's just devastating.

Maybe this is "Ke Zhiguang on Vacation", the joke shines into reality.

"Well, I want to join the team too, can you test me?" An unfamiliar voice came.

This voice sounds weak, and it feels like another rookie who has come to try his luck and see if he can sneak into the team.

But the moment he saw his face, the bamboo knife forging was stunned.

A terrible memory of what had once been dominated flooded back.

......

......

At the same time, Ke Zhiguang has also fast-forwarded to the entrance of Inoue Shrine with one click.

After thinking about it last night, he decided to go straight to the ground and test the wave first, so he sat here with a ticket from Tokyo.

Trains from Tokyo to Osaka are very dense, departing almost every 20 minutes, and tickets are always available during this time of year when the season is not a tourist season.

And the local area is so large, Ke Zhiguang is ready to go home tonight, and he didn't bring any luggage.

"This is Inoue Shrine......," Kojimitsu said to the entrance of his destination.

Unlike the imaginary shrine built in the deep mountains and old forests, this shrine was actually built in the middle of the lake.

It is built on a wooden platform rather than land, and it seems to float on water, full of fairy spirits.

Vermilion torii gates rise above the water, and a narrow wooden bridge crosses under the torii to the misty shrine.

The wooden bridge connects to the landing site, and there is also a torii gate, which is counted as the first gate.

In front of the torii gate stands a stone pedestal of a komachi dog, similar to a stone lion in front of the government, and it is usually placed at the entrance of the shrine, either a komachi dog or a fox.

Considering that the god enshrined in this shrine is a dog god, it is natural to swing the dog.

But the Komachi dog here, this hook-shaped eyebrows...... A stupid and cute sense of déjà vu.

No matter how you look at this thing, it's Dingchun! It's too dramatic!

The immortal qi value here suddenly dropped a lot.

So the question is, according to Kiyonuma Ragsaki, the god of quantum mechanics behind him has dog ears, so is it the same type as this dog god?

"Hey, is this you?" Ke Zhiguang asked to his side.

There was no silence beside him.

After spitting out, Kojimitsu also calmed down, and stepped into the door of the first torii gate.

"Guest, please stay, you have not made an appointment." The voice of Xing Yao suddenly came from his head.

It's like entering her realm.

"I'm Ke Zhiguang, can I come in?"

"Oh? It's Mr. Light, long time no see, congratulations on winning another title. Xing said gently.

"Thank you very much for your guidance from the last Snow Maiden incident...... So can I come in now? ”

"I'm sorry, but even you have to make a reservation in advance." Xing said mildly.

Ke Zhiguang had heard of this, even if Jiudan wanted to enter this place, he needed to make an appointment in advance, in short, there were a lot of strange rules.

"Then if I make an appointment now, how long will it take to get me?" Ke Zhiguang asked.

"About a month and a half later, as the Dragonseat War is about to begin, things suddenly become very busy here."

Ke Zhiguang did not complain that a month and a half was too long, but asked directly: "Can I ask what it is?" ”

"If you don't pray well, a lot of bad things will happen."

Because of the Dragon Throne War, it is necessary to increase the workload of praying for blessings, as if the Dragon Throne War has affected fate.

But if you think about it, there is nothing wrong with it, after all, the weather in Hokkaido a few months ago was affected by this.

"Is it a prayer to the dog god?"

"No, it's to pray for a more majestic being, maybe it's fate, but Lord Inugami will guide me on how to pray for it."

"The way to pray for blessings...... Is it chess? For example, the last time you guided me to defeat the Snow Maiden, you also want to defeat a certain opponent? Ke Zhiguang asked.

"No, it's not like that, my main way of praying is to listen, to listen to the instructions of the dog god on the chessboard, I just need to land the chess pieces it indicates on the chessboard, and the task is completed."

Listening to this description, Ke Zhiguang suddenly felt very familiar.

God's instructions on the chessboard are, to put it bluntly, God's hand.

That's simple, this thing has been in batch production recently, and I can't wait to brush more than a dozen hands a day, envy Zuo Wei and Chu Win.

In a word, I can do the work of this witch!

Of course, this is just a joke, and his intuition tells Ke Zhiguang that things shouldn't be so simple.

"I'm here this time, in fact, I want to invite you to join my team, to participate in the Dragon Throne Battle, and directly end the source of karma." Ke Zhiguang said.

The other party was silent for a while before saying, "I'm sorry, I'm afraid I can't agree to this." ”

"Is it because of Ling Zun, Mr. Inoue Shomen is on Koshikawa Ryuji's side?" Ke Zhiguang asked.

"My father is just one of the reasons, but the more important reason is ..... I couldn't leave this place for long. She was embarrassed.

"Is it because once you leave, there is no one to do the blessing work?" Ke Zhiguang paused before asking tentatively.

"That's one of the reasons, in short...... It's going to be complicated, isn't it, but why do you want me to join your team, Mr. Hikari? You should have more and better options besides me, right? ”

Ke Zhiguang thought for a while: "I also got a revelation from God, God said that you are the best candidate for the team, and it just so happened that I thought the same, so I hit it off." ”

I don't know if the other party can understand the meaning of this god in his mouth.

It is very likely that it is the same god as the other person is serving.

At the very least, it's the same type of god.

"That's right...... It's a reason to be free, but I still want to say sorry, I can't say yes, I can't go with you until the gods on my side say yes. ”

"Then if the god over there agrees, will you agree to my application for teaming?" Ke Zhiguang vaguely got this feeling, and had some tacit understanding with the other party in the title of god.

"I guess so, I spoke to you last time, and your ego and confidence are really moving, and ..... Xingcai also often talks to me about you, and she has a very good impression of you. ”

"Got it, I'll try to make your head on the other side of the gods."

If nothing else, the final solution to the matter will still fall on the side of Xingcai.

The chat continued, but the topic was no longer about work, but about some entertainment fields such as comics and TV series.

originally thought that the other party, as a clergyman who stayed at home, should not know much about these things, but he didn't expect the other party to talk about these things quite smoothly.

It makes people wonder if she is the kind of shrine maiden who is often seen in other works, serving the gods (×), and walking in game comics (√).

"That's what Xingcai told me." She explained with a smile.

As the sun was about to set, Kojiko also embarked on the return journey, a ticket back to Tokyo.

It was already eight o'clock in the evening when I arrived in Tokyo, and the day passed at the speed of light, and there was no sense of travel around the city at all.

This one-on-one approach did not solve any practical problems, but there were more problems, but the overall feeling was unexpected.

Learn more about the god of quantum mechanics.

There are many gods, and even if it is the god of Go, I am afraid that it is not just a single existence.

It is very likely that the god of quantum mechanics also exists in the form of complex numbers, and there is a large family.

The gods of quantum mechanics are among the eldest, and it is worth thinking about.

At nine o'clock in the evening, I finally arrived at Taohuazhai.

It turned out that the Taoist friends were all gathered in the lobby of the entrance, looking towards the training room, as if there were strange people sitting inside.

"Hey, what's going on?" Kojiko patted the hill.

"A strange person came, who passed the entrance test of the bamboo knife forging this morning, and is now waiting for you to inspect the goods." Yamaoka said.

"Passed Brother Forging's test?"

The test of bamboo knife forging is quite demanding, requiring him to win two games in three games in rapid chess mode.

Ke Zhiguang felt that he did such a quiz, in fact, it was not that he wanted to find out the hidden powerhouse, but he simply wanted to get over the hammer addiction.

And even then, someone passed the test?

Pushing aside the crowd, entering the training room, and seeing the other party's appearance, Ke Zhiguang was stunned.

The slender young man, dressed in a clean white shirt, sat quietly and imposingly in front of the chessboard.

His face is also quite gentle and delicate, and he is a weak herbivorous man.

However, his hairstyle betrayed him, and it was immediately clear that he was a Go master.

Bareheaded!

It's either Mediterranean-style baldness, or a monk-like bald head.

Since there is a precedent for a stone heart, this hairstyle is therefore quite intimidating.

Ke Zhiguang sank.

Hairstyles are only one aspect.

The main thing is...... The other party's body does exude an aura similar to that of Shixin.

The monk-like young man also noticed Ke Zhiguang and smiled.

"Mr. Ke Zhiguang, good evening, the little monk's Dharma name is Shiquan, and he passed the test of the seventh stage of the bamboo knife this morning, and became a member of your team to jointly conquer the Dragon Throne War." Shi Quan made a Buddhist gesture of twisting his fingers, which was quite professional.

"Stone Spring?" Ke Zhiguang heard the keyword, stone.

Closer and closer to the key elements.

"In addition......."

Shi Quan took a step forward and said in a very low voice: "The little monk is a closed disciple of Master Shi Xin's sitting, please give me a lot of advice." ”

Gotcha, real hammer.

"You..... Is it a disciple of Shixin? Looking at the other party's face, Ke Zhiguang was full of doubts.

I always feel that this matter is not so simple.

"Below, it's a disciple of Shi Xin, named Shi Quan"

A bald head,
