Chess Soul's childhood sweetheart

Chapter 1 Wedge One
Nothing happens by accident, it happens for a reason.It's just that sometimes, the reason is not obvious and people don't find it.

In August 1004 (the Heian period), the handsome 8-year-old chess master Fujiwara Sakai had just taught the master how to play chess, and the chessboard had not yet been cleaned up.The people outside began to say, "Abe Seimei asks to see you."

Fujiwara Sawei hastily cleaned up the chess game, retreated to find a place in the garden, and continued to play.In addition to eating and sleeping, he plays chess with others every day, and also plays scores.Perhaps in the eyes of others, this day is a bit monotonous, but Sato Fujiwara feels very happy.

Seimei Abe, who is over 80 years old, is still in good health.Fujiwara Sawei heard it from the sound of his footsteps coming in.

After talking with the master for a while, Abe Seimei did not leave as usual.Instead, he turned around in the yard, and he immediately saw that Fujiwara Sakai who was writing music in the yard, and a few court ladies not far away from him covered their mouths with their sleeves, looking at the young man with a smile and affection. Chess player.

It's nice to be young.

After Abe Seimei sighed, he was about to leave.However, he suddenly turned his head and looked at the chess master again, his expression was different from the one just now.Although he was still smiling, there was already a hint of seriousness on his face.

He walked down the steps, walked to Sakai Fujiwara, and looked at him for a while.But the young chess master didn't notice him, because Fujiwara Sawei completely immersed himself in the nineteen-way chessboard.

It's been a long time since Abe Seimei stopped meddling in his own business. He looked at the dedicated young man in front of him, and suddenly felt a little unbearable in his heart.So, he sat opposite Zuo Wei.

Zuo Wei looked up and saw Abe Seimei, and then he subconsciously asked, "My lord, do you want to play chess?"

Abe Seimei was stunned for a moment, then nodded, and said, "Yes."

The two started a game.

About half an hour later, Abe Seimei conceded and gave Zuo a fan pendant.

Before leaving, Abe Seimei also said to him: "No matter what difficulties you encounter, remember to please take care."

Sawei Fujiwara didn't know why Master Abe said that, but he saw that the pendant matched his five-bone bat fan very well, so he just put the pendant on.

Abe Seimei, who returned home, met his eldest son Jihei.

"The Requiem Jade on Father's body..."

Abe Seimei looked at him and said, "I gave it away, I hope to..."

Ji Ping wondered who this person was, who could make his father give such an important requiem jade as a gift.The requiem jade, which I didn't even dare to ask my father for, is a soul-fixing treasure, which can prevent the soul from being infested by all kinds of monsters.Living people also have the ability to soothe the nerves and nourish the soul, it is not easy...

In short, it is right to be a baby.

Several people have forgotten about this matter.

In October, Sawei Fujiwara played against another chess player, Kentada Sugawara, and the winner will stay on as the master's Go instructor.

Both of them are chess masters of comparable strength. Fujiwara Sawei has also played against him a few times, so he knows that this person is good at chess.However, some of the methods he taught to play chess made him a little annoying.

Therefore, Sato Fujiwara also wanted to confirm his own strength through this competition, and get the opponent out of here.

However, what Fujiwara Sawei did not expect was that Sugawara would actually cheat.Not only cheating, but also blaming him for cheating.

Because of the interference, there is no way to concentrate on playing chess, which leads to losing the game.

Not only that, Fujiwara Sawei was also accused of cheating. He felt that he was ashamed of the family, and no one in the family should be able to accept him anymore.

And he had no other livelihood skills. Two days later, Fujiwara Sawei walked to the river in the suburbs of Beijing, took off his shoes, and walked slowly into the river.The icy river water soaked his clothes little by little until he was submerged...

No one noticed him, let alone a pure white owl hovering over the river...

When Abe Seimei heard the news, it was already a month later.He walked to the place where Fujiwara Zuowei threw himself into the river, with a sad expression on his face, and said "poor" several times before leaving.

In October 1005, this was the second time Abe Seimei made a special trip to the place where Fujiwara Sami threw himself into the river, but this time when he came, his body was a little weak, and it was his son Jihei who supported him.In addition, the servant behind him was holding a chessboard, which Zuo Wei usually used to play chess, but there was a faint purple light on it.

Abe raised the index and middle fingers of his right hand and put them by his mouth, then closed his eyes and read silently for a while.Afterwards, he opened his eyes, asked the servant to put down the chessboard, sat on the edge of the chessboard, and read silently to the chessboard for a while.

After that, he sat for half a stick of incense before leaving.

"Father, are you going to give him..."

Abe Seimei interrupted the eldest son's words and said: "I can't say it, I can't say it."

Half a month later, Abe Seimei passed away at the age of 84.And the moment he died, there was a sudden gust of wind blowing from the place where the chessboard was placed...
