Chapter 469 Cosmic Flow

The next day, Ma Xiaochun, with two huge dark circles under his eyes, yawned all the way to meet his teammates in the lobby.

The two team leaders were puzzled by this. Ji Xiuwen, who lived in the same room as him, seemed to be in good spirits just now, and they were worried that this "chess fairy" didn't have enough time to rest.

"Don't mention it, I suspect that Ji Xiuwen secretly practiced some spells, otherwise what's the point of getting up and reading after only sleeping for a few hours?"

Ma Xiaochun said that he would never sleep in the same room with Ji Xiuwen in the future, because he had just fallen asleep and Ji Xiuwen had already woken up.

"My health is not good. I have been weak and sick since I was a child, but my spirit has always been good. I don't need to sleep anymore after sleeping for two or three hours."

When Ji Xiuwen said these words, his tone seemed to be talking about a trivial matter.

This made everyone wonder whether to complain or express envy. In the end, they could only sigh: This may be a genius!

Since Ji Xiuwen is not troubled by fatigue, there is nothing to worry about in today's game.

The current Japanese Go world has been frightened out of its wits by Ji Xiuwen, blood was seen in all three games in a row, this is not just horror.

After the Chinese Go team arrived at the scene, they learned from the Japanese players that Norio Kudo, who went crazy yesterday, was still in a coma until this morning, which made Masaki Takemiya, who was about to play against Ji Xiuwen, lack confidence.

Masaki Takemiya did not have the confidence to defeat Ji Xiuwen, but he still expressed his desire to defend the dignity of Japanese Go before the game.

But what makes people speechless is that Takemiya Masaki actually used Lu Xun's words to cheer himself up-"A real warrior dares to face the bleak life and face the dripping blood. I am not afraid of the same blood splashing on this chessboard."

Masaki Takemiya kept smiling when he said these words, but in fact, he is more cheerful and open-minded than Norio Kudo in character.

Before starting the battle, Nie Weiping wanted to talk to Ji Xiuwen, but Masaki Takemiya was his old friend.

But he hesitated for a moment when he spoke and gave up, because there is no mercy on the chessboard. If this merciless move leads to the loss of the game, it will be too late to regret.

Ji Xiuwen also respects Masaki Takemiya, but not for his chess strength, but for his personality and persistence.

Masaki Takemiya, as one of the "Six Supers" in the Japanese Go game, has won the Honinbo Championship five times so far, and is known as one of the greatest Go players of the 40th century when he was less than 20 years old.

But the "Six Super Leagues" are also divided. Takemiya Masaki has the least number of champions among the six players, and his competition results are also the worst among the six players. Many people even feel that he is not worthy of the "Six Super Leagues". title.

This kind of evaluation is naturally unfair. The number of champions does not necessarily match the actual strength, especially when Masaki Takemiya persistently chose a particularly difficult way to win: cosmic flow.

Let's put it this way, Takemiya Masaki is a recognized romanticist in the Go world. In his eyes, winning is second and cosmic flow is first.

If it is described in the language of 30 years later, it is "art"!

Masaki Takemiya is the "art brother" in the field of Go. Others put victory and defeat first, but Masaki Takemiya's exploration of his own Go universe on the chessboard is more important than winning or losing. The evidence to prove this is Masaki Takemiya's When it is black, the unshakable underground three-star start.

This kind of opening came to a conclusion after the advent of AI: every time Masaki Takemiya uses three consecutive stars to start, the winning rate will drop by about 5 points.

But even in the era without AI, everyone can analyze that this kind of opening will have a great disadvantage, but Masaki Takemiya is unmoved, he just insists on his own artistic method.

In Ji Xiuwen's eyes, this kind of "cosmic flow" is actually a majestic style of chess, who is good at fighting with big appearances, especially with his unique skill in playing chess with the middle belly.

But the problem is that Ji Xiuwen likes the opponent to play this kind of chess the most, because this kind of gorgeous game requires extraordinary computing power to control. To put it bluntly, when the opponent's chess strength is higher than yours, then your cosmic flow is in the opponent's eyes. It's full of loopholes.

Takemiya Masaki's chess skills are naturally the best among human players, but Ji Xiuwen's chess skills, after intensive training with AI, are still not comparable to AlphaGo in 2025, but they can face human players of this era On the contrary, it is more like an AI.

When Ji Xiuwen came to the scene, he immediately attracted everyone's attention.

The two-day game has already made him break the circle. Even many people who don't know how to play Go know the miraculous deeds of him making his opponent vomit blood and even go insane for three consecutive games.

Today, he changed into a Northern and Southern Dynasties-style cloak. The style was slightly changed from the previous one, and the main color was changed to blue.

In addition, he also changed the hairstyle to loose hair, which is basically the same hairstyle as Mei Changsu before entering Beijing, and the sense of elegance of the ancients is even stronger.

These changes are not very big compared with yesterday, but some people will look very different in the same clothes as you. Ji Xiuwen's small change is enough to make people feel refreshed.

Chess players from the two countries now have a common feeling towards Ji Xiuwen, that is, in terms of appearance, figure, and temperament, they really have a sense of humility.

Adding the gap in "chess talent" at this time, it's really embarrassing, ashamed!

Today when the two of them were guessing, Takemiya Masaki said in a tone of self-deprecating, whether it was a joke or a self-deprecating tone after saluting: "Mr.

Before the chess game officially started, there was a reporter's radio microphone not far away next to the two of them, so when Masaki Takemiya uttered his prestige-destroying words, all the chess players and audience were surprised!

"Mr. Takemiya...how can he be so inferior?"

"This, this is too much to lose my prestige!"

"How could Takemiya Masaki do this? He represents Go in Japan!"

"..."

Japanese chess players and fans were surprised by Masaki Takemiya's words at first, and then felt that it was too embarrassing for Japanese Go, because he is one of the "Six Supers"!

He also represented Japanese Go today, how could he be inferior to others before the game started?

What's more, I think these words have completely lost the glory of Japanese Go!

But at this time, Masao Kato, the only one who hadn't played yet, just changed his face slightly. Although he didn't expect Masaki Takemiya to say such a thing, but thinking about Ji Xiuwen's previous three games, he can actually understand why Masaki Takemiya would go first. Destroy your own prestige.

However, what made the Japanese audience even more annoyed was that Ji Xiuwen didn't react when he heard the words. He nodded simply, without even being polite, and directly made a gesture of invitation, signaling that Masaki Takemiya could Choose first.

Masaki Takemiya saluted again, and sure enough, he sat on the side of the white chessboard, and he didn't feel that he was losing face by doing so.

But the Japanese chess fans at the scene booed a little, they thought it was more humiliating than losing to Ji Xiuwen!

"It seems that Mr. Wu Gong wants to fight today!"

Hiroshi Yamashiro was the least injured, and he didn't think it was embarrassing for Masaki Takemiya to do this, because with Ji Xiuwen's terrifying calculation power, if Masaki Takemiya still held black and started with the cosmic flow, there was almost no possibility of winning.

"That's right. Everyone in the world only sees Wu Gong's three-star opening, but few people notice that when he does not use this opening, his attack power will be much higher than usual!"

Taiping Shuzo was also deeply afraid of Ji Xiuwen's chess strength, and didn't think there was anything wrong with Takemiya Masaki's doing so.

Many people actually know this point. When Masaki Takemiya is playing black, he will start the game with three consecutive stars, but he is not so paranoid when playing white. Only at this time can he have the opportunity to display his full chess strength.

Masao Kato also nodded. Ji Xiuwen has fought three times in a row. Although he won another quick victory last night, he still didn't have enough rest time. Today's state will definitely be affected. Masaki Takemiya went all out to give it a chance.

The three of them clearly put Ji Xiuwen's chess skills above Nie Weiping's in their hearts. Even though he had only shown the world three games of chess, three games of chess were enough to tell a lot in the eyes of experts.

Besides, Ji Xiuwen's three games of chess can be described as shocking. In fact, these three games alone are enough to be recorded in the annals of history. Who can't see that Ji Xiuwen is obviously a once-in-a-century genius in the Go world!

Ji Xiuwen really surprised everyone again, he actually used the "three consecutive stars" move that everyone is very familiar with at the beginning of the game!

"What, start with three consecutive stars?"

"This... is this going to go down the cosmic current?"

"What does he mean? Does he really feel that he is invincible?"

"It's unreasonable! It's so arrogant!"

"..."

Japanese chess fans saw that Ji Xiuwen actually used Takemiya Masaki's cosmic style to start the game, and all of them gritted their teeth in anger, thinking that the opponent was humiliating them!

Masaki Takemiya also stared blankly, his heart might not be full of anger, but he calmed down quickly and concentrated on dealing with the unprecedentedly powerful opponent in front of him.

Ji Xiuwen couldn't help shaking his head after starting the game with three consecutive stars, because it was indeed the most unfavorable layout for him to win from the very beginning.

If the opponent seizes the four corners of the field first, and uses the trench flow to play with his big dragon, then this kind of first five-hand chess will drop his winning rate to 40%, and it will be difficult to regain the disadvantage when facing opponents of the same level. .

The reason why Zhao Zhixun became Masaki Takemiya's life is because he and Masaki Takemiya have completely opposite chess styles.

Every time the two played against each other, Masaki Takemiya's cosmic style was magnificent on the surface, while Zhao Zhixun's sewer style was in a state of embarrassment.

But if you keep going, you will find that Zhao Zhixun has almost snatched all the territory outside the middle abdomen.

Takemiya Masaki was able to be "magnificent" in the first half of the game, but in the end it looked like a pile of garbage on the chessboard, because the opponent's dragon could not be killed at all, and at the same time there was not enough space, so the game naturally lost.

Masaki Takemiya also knew the disadvantages of his method, and used Zhao Zhixun's "digger" to target Ji Xiuwen's cosmic flow at the beginning.

This made a lot of Japanese chess players dumbfounded, including Zhao Zhixun, who came to watch the match today, was so annoyed by the ingenious opening of both sides!

"This game of chess has a chance. Mr. Wu Gong's experience in dealing with cosmic flow is probably more experienced than Zhao Zhixun's dealing with himself!"

"Yes, he is dealing with himself!"

"This kid is too arrogant. He actually wants to use Wu Gong's tactics to defeat Wu Gong. He is killing himself!"

"..."

The chess players and fans at the scene saw the opening of the two, and they didn't know who they were mocking.

Ji Xiuwen is indeed the layout of the cosmic flow today, and he built a majestic appearance at the beginning.

At this time, Takemiya Masaki did not prevent his black chess from forming a big shape, but lowered the chess and drilled down three ways, regardless of how he managed it in the middle ground.

This made the Japanese chess players laugh even more happily. Masaki Takemiya, who represents "idealism" today, is actually using outright "realism" to deal with an opponent who is using his own tactics to play against him. Isn't this the most ironic thing?

After the first forty moves of the two were completed, Ji Xiuwen constructed a magnificent figure, and the shape of the sunspots was even more magnificent and beautiful, just like a work of art!

Masaki Takemiya, on the other hand, took advantage of the opponent's big appearance in the middle abdomen, and took out all the four corners of the chessboard as if he was greedy for snakes. Obviously, he was planning to use this as a foundation to find an opportunity to dig into the opponent's lair in one fell swoop and make a big fuss with one hand. .

At this time, Zhao Zhixun was sitting on the seat not far from the Chinese Go team, and he said something that he didn't know if he deliberately let others hear it. He smiled and said to Lin Haifeng beside him: "This Mr. Ji Xiao is very courageous. All the corners were given away, and what I got in exchange was a magnificent appearance, just like the Old Summer Palace on a chessboard!"

Lin Haifeng laughed immediately when he heard the words: "It's a pity that this garden will be snatched up by Mr. Wu Gong soon!"

The conversation between the two naturally changed the expressions of the Chinese chess players, and they couldn't help casting angry glances!

But now the situation of black chess and white chess is indeed very different, one is crazy to build a big shape in the middle of the abdomen, and the other is desperately trying to catch the air on the side, or it is simply robbed.

At this time, what Japanese chess players and chess fans were looking forward to was when Takemiya Masaki broke through the air, broke into the Old Summer Palace built by Ji Xiuwen, burned, killed and looted in one fell swoop! ?

However, Takemiya Masaki didn't dare to act rashly, because although the big image constructed by Ji Xiuwen was beautiful, but at this time there was already a kind of black cloud monstrous aura, which not only made people daunting, but also made people feel a little frightened!

This stalemate lasted until more than sixty hands. Masaki Takemiya saw that if he did not make a move, Ji Xiuwen's black cloud would be the first to overwhelm the situation. The best garden in the world.

When White reached the 64th move, Takemiya Masaki finally rushed into the big universe constructed by Ji Xiuwen with the momentum of failure or success, and then tried his best to find the opponent's weak link, so as to empty out this piece of chess. Insane work of art.

"Mr. Takemiya, please don't be surprised that things backfire, because this universe is much bigger than you."

Ji Xiuwen faced the white chess that fell like a divine soldier, not only could he handle it with ease, but he also had a smile on his face, and he still had the heart to say this very heartbreaking sentence.

Masaki Takemiya's heart sank when he heard the words, but at this time he was not as relaxed and comfortable as Ji Xiuwen. Not only did he not have the energy to think about the verbal counterattack, he even had no time to listen carefully to what the other party said.

At this time, Takemiya Masaki completely immersed all his energy on the square-inch chessboard, because after entering the black chess formation, he immediately felt a kind of majestic heroism, and the ensuing power that seemed to be able to swallow the world infinite variety.

Takemiya Masaki's calculations are not inaccurate, and his sense of insight into the crisis is not insensitive, including the fact that the first seventy moves are not insignificant at the periphery. At this time, the white chess occupying the four corners is like being tied with a rope. The four white horses are in the posture of trying to dismember the black chess in the middle from four directions.

But when Takemiya Masaki really went in, he found that he started to get lost, just like breaking into Zhuge Liang's gossip formation, he couldn't find a chance to hollow out the other party, and he couldn't even find where the exit was?

At this time, the chess players who watched the game also discovered that the original white chess was attacking from all sides, and invaded the black chess in the Central Plains from four directions at the same time!

But after the black and white pieces fought hand-to-hand, they found that as long as the white piece stepped into the forbidden area in the middle abdomen, it was like breaking into the fog. The one who attacked from all sides turned out to be surrounded by all sides, and the fierceness of black's counterattack was beyond everyone's expectations.

The two fought ten moves in the middle battle, and every move made the spectators, especially Takemiya Masaki, feel thrilled, because everyone knew that in such a situation, both sides would lose everything if they were not careful. .

It stands to reason that it is also difficult for Ji Xiuwen to grasp such a magnificent appearance. He should also be dancing on the wire, with layers of sweat dripping from his forehead.

But in the face of Takemiya Masaki's fierce attack, Ji Xiuwen's easy-going posture not only did not change, even a few drops of sweat did not flow from his forehead.

But every time he drops a ball, Masaki Takemiya will feel even more frightened, and his self-confidence will also be reduced by one point.

This reduction is not only due to the lack of momentum, but also because the gap in calculations has begun to appear.

After the two played eighty moves, Takemiya Masaki was shocked to find that all the white pieces he had scored were ruthlessly strangled by Ji Xiuwen's strong opponent, and the black's chess strength naturally became stronger.

The Japanese chess players were secretly screaming in their hearts that something was wrong, and Masaki Takemiya hastily brewed a second wave of stronger offensive.

But after white entered the formation again, it was like encountering a black hole that could swallow everything. Not only was it still unable to make achievements this time, but the stronger black chess finally began to counterattack.

At this time, Takemiya Masaki was not only sweating on his forehead, but his back shirt was already soaked with sweat, because Ji Xiuwen's counterattack was like a raging tide, and once he launched an attack, he would not be given the slightest chance to fight back.

Ji Xiuwen's first wave of offensive aimed at the two upper corners of the white chess, and saw that the black chess, relying on the magnificent mid-belly plate, swept upwards as soon as it was born, as if it wanted to swallow the white chess wherever it went. All the chess pieces were swallowed into the belly.

Takemiya Masaki's white chess was prepared, but it still swayed left and right like a boat that could not withstand the blow of a raging tide.

After he reacted, he wanted to encircle Wei and save Zhao, but at this time, Bai Qi was already unable to shake the belly of the black flame.

This is the most embarrassing situation for Takemiya Masaki, because after occupying all four corners, not only can't connect vertically and horizontally, but there are signs of being broken one by one.

"Since it was given to you, you can take it back anytime!"

Ji Xiuwen didn't say this, otherwise Takemiya Masaki's mentality would collapse immediately.

But it’s not much better now. Japanese chess players are all sweating for Masaki Takemiya at this time. Everyone knows that this kind of duel will test their overall chess strength, but Ji Xiuwen not only has more sophisticated calculations, Once Tesuji's strength erupts, it is even more difficult to parry.

This time Masaki Takemiya's white chess is not only attacking black, but even self-defense has begun to struggle.

Masaki Takemiya said that it was more than just a struggle, the white chess above him couldn't resist Ji Xiuwen's overwhelming attack, and was soon slaughtered mercilessly by the black chess, and lost half of the ground he had occupied at the beginning of the game!

When the two of them reached a hundred moves, not only the chess players of the two countries, but even the chess fans at the scene could see that White's defeat was settled, and even when White failed to break the empty space for the first time, it was already a big defeat. game over.

Takemiya Masaki's face was already full of loneliness, after weighing for a while, he still decided to abandon the upper white stone, and prepared to rely on the two big horns below to fight stubbornly.

Ji Xiuwen didn't give him a chance to procrastinate, a group of subtle combinations of Tesuji who had been ambushing for an unknown number of hands made it in one go, and didn't even leave the opponent a chance to breathe, directly provoking the battle of the dragon that Takemiya Masaki had to take over.

But this decisive battle is likely to be over before it even started. At this time, the central land managed by Ji Xiuwen is filled with black clouds, and in the vast black formation, it is difficult to see the way for White chess to survive.
