Another night has fallen, and the sea breeze from Tokyo Bay has blown away the heat, and the streets are bustling with people.

Dressed in formal attire, Ko Zhiguang arrived at the designated place and looked up at the building, which was out of place in the surroundings.

Chuo-ku, the residential area of Harumi 5-chome, is another place where every inch of land is at a premium, yet on this expensive piece of land, a four-story old building that is out of place with the surrounding area is inserted into it, like a historical artifact.

How can you say it from the appearance alone...... It's a bit like a nail household, which has single-handedly stuck the development of the entire area.

This is it, the residence of Mr. Hanno, the residence of the most respected man in the entire chess world.

There is no need to repeat the myth of Mr. Hanno, the half-truths and half-truths documentary, the rendering of the grapevine media, and the word-of-mouth statements of people have added a layer of unattainable mystery to this once dominant man.

Many people say that after Hanno-sensei faded out of the chess world, he lived a reclusive life on the southern islands, or lived in the mountains, but only a few people know that he lived in seclusion in the middle of the city, occupying an expensive piece of land and looking at the hustle and bustle of the city.

The reason why he was able to live in such a conspicuous place but not be noticed by everyone was probably because of the skills he used to keep ordinary people out of notice, just like the video store of Yaki Orochi.

After being mentally prepared, Ke Zhiguang rang the doorbell: "May I ask if Mr. Banye is here, I am Ke Zhiguang." ”

It didn't take long for the wooden door to be opened, and the lovely disciple who entered the room ...... Phew, Mugu Shengnaixiang appeared on the other side of the door.

"The teacher has been waiting for you for a long time, Ke Zhiguang Jiudan." Mugu nodded.

"This ...... Are there no other servants here? Ke Zhiguang subconsciously returned the salute.

"No, it's just me and my husband, as well as Mr. Mugu, and I'll handle a small part of the chores, and most of the chores will be handled by the mansion itself." Mugu said.

This..... I see.

This mansion also has a maid system.

As for the husband of Empress Mugu, Ke Zhiguang had also heard that in the words of more than 30 years later, he was called an ordinary male member.

Although in Japan, an ordinary member means a lifelong job at the civil service level, considering Kiko's status as an empress, she is a bit suspicious of marrying an ordinary member.

It should be true love.

The two also have children, but they have been studying abroad and have not set foot in chess at all.

When asked about this, Mugu said that his children did not have the talent for this, so he did not choose to let them learn chess.

But if Ke Zhiguang thinks about it, the real reason should be that the road to chess is too difficult, even if you have extremely high talent, you will have a hard time, and it will take a lot of time to temper and defeat other geniuses.

In Ke Zhiguang's previous life, many excellent chess players will not let their children work hard in the direction of their careers, as those who have come over, they know that this life is too hard, at best, it is to let their young children take the exam or something, and the rank is forgotten.

Ke Zhiguang entered this mansion full of ancient meaning, and the cool feeling of a fairy surged up.

【Wind Guardian】

【Summer Only】

The invisible wind moved through the corridors of the mansion, and if you close your eyes, you can hear the whispers of wind chimes.

Judging from the description of this summer-only one, there is a high probability that there are also winter-specific styles stored here.

Considering Hanno-sensei's overly rich experience in demon slaying and demon slaying when he was young, he can't overstate how many strange things he pulls out.

"It's amazing, this kind of power, in your experience, this kind of power is probably not the first time I've seen it."

"yes, I have a similar one in Hokkaido." Ke Zhiguang said.

This power is not the same type as the god of quantum mechanics, but is more inclined to the Snow Maiden Villa in Hokkaido.

"Mr. Hanno is looking for me tonight, what is the matter?"

"Nothing special, just just want to meet you, you are also the holder of the Dragon Throne Title, the hero who defeated Koshikawa Ryuji, and don't forget, Hanno-sensei is also a member of your team."

This..... I didn't expect her to even know about it, and thought that Mr. Hanno had sneaked out.

Mu Gu sighed: "In short, the teacher has a lot to say to you, about you, about the teacher's own, about the future of the chess world, and ...... About the senior brother. ”

With that, she stopped in front of a sliding door at the bottom and reached out to pull it open.

"Good evening, teacher." She nodded through the door.

"Good work, Ah Xiang." An amiable voice came from within.

At the end of the green tatami room, in front of the balcony, Hanno Ken is sitting in a wheelchair, looking at this side lazily, as if he has met a friend he hasn't seen in days.

The chessboard and chess pieces were also already ready, right in front of him.

The unexpected kindness makes people naturally unestranged.

"Hello Mr. Hanno, I thought you would still appear in the form of Shiquan." Ke Zhiguang walked over naturally and sat down on the empty seat opposite Hanye Xuan, while Mu Gu stepped back silently and closed the door with his hand.

"Oh? It turns out that I've already seen through it, and I'm going to suddenly reveal the truth to scare you. Hanye Xuan said with a smile.

"I don't know how I figured it out, maybe it has something to do with it, right?" Ke Zhiguang unfolded this door and generously presented the word chess saint.

"Roar, it turns out that this is in your hands, if I'm not mistaken, this is the fan that I signed to her with a lot of effort after Harishima Deer won the title of princess...... Then again, what about her? Didn't I come with you? ”

This...... How do you answer that?

Although she is not on the list of invitees, she is a little thick-skinned, and she can be forced in, and Harushima Deer does intend to be thick-skinned.

But last night, Xiong Sakura and Yingmei were also there, and the four of them met, and they recalled the happy mahjong time in Hokkaido at that time.

So I played mahjong all night last night.

It's okay just to rub mahjong, but the problem is that Xiong Ying didn't know where to take out a bottle of vodka, and after rubbing it, she poured it into everyone.

So everyone was unconscious, and they collectively lay down, and Ke Zhiguang relied on the anti-drunken value accumulated at some point.

Visually, it looked as if he had single-handedly taken the other three down...... Ahem, ahem.

All in all, it's fun to play mahjong!

Banye Xuan didn't bother much about this matter, but just held his head and looked at Ke Zhiguang with an interested look.

Ke Zhiguang also had the same expression, it was clear that the two of them had a two-month experience as comrades-in-arms, and they both had many old thoughts about talking to each other after the war, but when they really met each other, they couldn't come up with any good words, as if everything was silent.

Speaking of mixed chess, it's easy to get acquainted with some old friends, and the difference in age is not obvious in this field.

"Speaking of chess masters, what do you think would happen if you were compared to those chess masters in history?" Hanye Xuan spoke on the topic of chess masters.

"Needless to say, I must have hoisted them up and hammered them." Ke Zhiguang responded frankly.

"So arrogant? If they recorded it and sent it to the media, they would be excited for a while, right? Hanye Xuan couldn't hide his smile.

"This question must have been considered by most chess players, such as returning to ancient times with modern chess theory and technology, and beating an ancient chess player to the pinnacle of life." Ke Zhiguang casually pulled a common crossing routine.

One thing to say, this routine sounds so immoral.

"That's right, I also thought so, if I can easily defeat the ancestors with only the accumulation of technology with the difference in time, how much will it take, although it sounds like a lot of hard work, but this is really cool." Hanno Xuan issued a declaration of high morality.

Not...... This strange feeling of like-mindedness...... It seems that a young man with both virtue and art met a respected old man, and the two exchanged thoughts and morals with hatred.

Hanye Xuan said again: "But ah, if a modern chess player really goes back with modern theories, he may be in the limelight for a while, the game of Go is like this, you have a technology that is ahead of the times, and after a round of competition, others will also master this technique." ”

"So in the end, it became a boring game of competing for talent and hard work." Ke Zhiguang took advantage of the situation.

"Yes, the end result will be so boring, which is neither the original intention of the person asking the question, nor the answer that the audience wants to hear." Hanye Xuan also has a feeling that the more he talks, the more speculative he becomes.

He asked: "Even so, do you think that with the ancient chess saints, you must be able to defeat the opponent easily?" ”

Ke Zhiguang still replied quickly: "Of course, all chess players who are a little confident must think so, presumably Mr. Hanno, you must also think so, right?" ”

"That's right! Exactly! As if he had been poked in the center by a word, Hanye Xuan waved his fist excitedly.

"Huang Longshi, Shi Xiangxia, Fan Xiping, Dao Ce, Zhang He, Xiuce, in our opinion, they are all Er'er's generation!" The night sky outside the Chaoyang Terrace raised a sharp index finger, one finger every day!

As soon as the words fell, a bolt of lightning lit up the window!

Then came rolling thunder and heavy summer rains.

"Refreshments are ready, please slow down......" Mu Gugang's eyebrows twitched ugly as soon as he pushed the door open.

Both disappeared from the chessboard.

As if avoiding an earthquake, Hanye Xuan arched under the coffee table with his head in his arms, and his lower body trembled outside.

Kozhiguang apparently hid behind the curtains on the balcony, where a large area was bulging.

"Teacher, Kezhiguang Jiudan, may I ask where you are?" The back of Mu Gu's hand showed the veins that were about to start beating people, and the ghost knew what the old and young were doing.

Seeing that nothing was happening, Banye Xuan got out from under the coffee table: "We're ...... It's picking up chess pieces, and just now the chess pieces knocked over a large piece of ......."

Ke Zhiguang also calmly walked out from behind the curtains, coughing a few times to ease the atmosphere.

I almost forgot that this world is idealistic, and it often says what it says.

Unexpectedly, he said a few words about the ancient chess saint, and he really had an accident, and the thunder suddenly burst out.

It's just that the moment the thunder sounded, he and Hanye Xuan's reactions were exceptionally consistent - run!

What kind of nonsense such as an ironclad hammer blasting hammer and an ancient chess saint should have happened!

Mu Gu helped Hanye Xuan back to the wheelchair: "Don't play with the two of you, especially the teacher, you are a lot old, maybe a random stumble can kill you on the spot." ”

"I'm 99 years old, and it's normal to die, remember what I often say, when I'm 100 years old, I'm going to play chess, and at 200 I'm living in the universe, and I'll be able to fulfill this promise soon." Hanye Xuan said optimistically.

"It's great that you can think so, but if you're really gone, a lot of people will be sad." Mugu reluctantly exited the room.

After listening to such a conversation, Ke Zhiguang also had a feeling of returning to reality.

The old man in front of him is basically a hundred years old, no matter how young he feels, his life is about to run out.

Banye Xuan also saw Ke Zhiguang's concerns, and smiled heartily: "Okay, don't show that kind of expression, don't talk nonsense, let's ...... Let's play chess! ”

A chess piece was grabbed from the box by him and pressed against the board.

A scorching wave of air spread along the chess piece he was holding, and the air seemed to be ignited.

Hanye Xuan's momentum has completely changed.

His kind eyes swept away, and he turned into sharp eyes like falcons, and every inch of his joints seemed to usher in a new life, and steam-like battle intent leaked out of every gap in the gears.

Back, shoulders, waist, fingertips.

From sitting posture to eyes, from momentum to courage, it not only puts pressure on the opponent, but also makes the opponent respectful.

That's what it is...... The deterrent power of the chess god.

Although he has been teammates with the other party for two months, he has not played a game of chess with the other party, and the occasional game of chess between Hanye Xuan and Xingcai is played in the next room, so that Ke Zhiguang now does not know what the other party's symbolic spirit is.

But every time Hanye Xuan played chess, Ke Zhiguang could feel the majestic power from the next room, as if even time had slowed down.

"Then ..... Let's go! Ke Zhiguang also guessed excitedly.

Guess the order!

Guess - wrong!

The black chess pieces poked up from Hanno's chess box and landed on the chessboard like a storm.

The sound of the world suddenly disappeared, and there was not even the sound of chess pieces falling.

Light and darkness emerge together, and ink paintings overlap in all directions.

The moment he saw his surroundings clearly, Ke Zhiguang's fingers paused in the chess box for a moment.

The light of the starry sky radiated overhead, and the Milky Way seemed to burn.

And the foothold under your feet is the top of the tree.

At the top of the towering giant tree, the flourishing branches and leaves hold up the vast world, and the gorgeous fruits hang at the end of the branches and leaves.

Bizarre and shocking, it is like time going back to the wilderness, the wind from the north flows against the earth, and the cradle of life is gently shaken.

"Welcome to my world, Kojimitsu, let's have a good time...... By the way, I will tell you some interesting things in this chess game. Hanye Xuan said with a smile.
