[Comprehensive] Goddess Event Book

Japan is a country that is always very contradictory. It insists on tradition almost stubbornly, and it is the easiest to abandon the past.

The country with the most centuries-old stores in the world is Japan. They emphasize the spirit of craftsman, emphasize that many generations of a family do the same job, and emphasize the many ancient crafts that have been handed down, and make them survive in modern times.

However, as an island country, Japan naturally has a more sense of crisis than mainland countries.Under the pressure of survival, it is very easy for them to absorb foreign advanced culture, and then transform their own civilization - they have done this kind of thing many times in history, from the comprehensive transformation of Tang Dynasty in ancient times, to the modernization of leaving Asia and entering Europe ...

This is also reflected in their name on the 'month'.

After modern times, probably in order to become more European and American, the Gregorian calendar was implemented and the lunar calendar was abolished.Unlike China, in order to enter the mainstream of the world, China has also promoted the Gregorian calendar, but China implements the Gregorian calendar and the lunar calendar in parallel.

However, even the calendar has changed. In the original lunar era, the names of the months according to the climate, time of day, and festivals have been retained... China is gone...

However, the ancient names of these months are quite nice, for example, March is called Yayoi, June is called Mizunazuki, August is called Red Dye Moon, Geese Moon and so on.

Anna tore off a new calendar and exclaimed, "Ah, it's Kannazuki!"

Kannazuki also has nice names like Chushuangyue and Shiyuyue. As the name suggests, it is a month without gods.Because in Japanese myths and legends, Japanese gods will gather in Izumo during this month.Therefore, during this month, there are no gods in other parts of Japan. At the same time, the Izumo country is specially called "Kamiyuki" this month.

As far as Anna knows, this month Takatahara will hold a god meeting, which is also one of the activities of Kanna Moon, and it also includes meeting old friends and gatherings... Don't think too much about the gods, at least Japanese gods don't, They are also going to have a year-end party.

In this regard, they are a bit like the Greek gods. Gathering together is often drinking, food, and love...

"My lord, the Chess Academy is calling! It's about the commendation meeting." The black-haired boy in sportswear stretched his head, as if he wanted to see what Anna was looking at.

"Got it! I'll call back later." Anna quickly put the torn calendar in the trash can.

Time always flies by inadvertently. The cicadas in summer seem to be just yesterday, and then it entered October.Even in October of the Gregorian calendar, the weather has become very cold.

In the past summer, on the stage of the Go world, the master-student Taya Yukihiro and Anna staged a double meeting.The final result also makes people talk about it - No.1 in the Japanese chess world won the chess holy war, celebrity battle, and throne battle, while Anna won the two titles of Honinbo and Tianyuan. .

Everyone always likes to watch wars that are evenly matched. Whether it is the old generation completely suppressing the newcomers, or the waves of the Yangtze River pushing the waves ahead, it seems that it is not so perfect-although everyone knows that this balance of power cannot be maintained for long. It is very clear that the replacement has arrived.

The end of last year's chess game, the start of the new semester, and the trivialities in life, all in all, it seems that Kannazuki will be here when Anna comes back to her senses...

During this period, Foxnosuke came twice, once with a rib and a sword.This is Nanwei Toshiro and Umaru who have been summoned. In fact, these two are already very familiar in Honmaru. It was Nanwei who came to tell Anna Kiin the phone number.

The second time I also came to deliver knives, and what I gave was a Taidao and a short knife.The origin of the Taidao is very big, Suzumaru Kōji, even with Anna's superficial knowledge of sword collection, recognized it - this sword has a very high status in the Japanese sword family!

There is a saying in Japan of the so-called Five Swords of the World, which are Tsukami Tsukami, Suzumaru Koji, Doji Kiriyasuna, Odeno Taikoyo, and Onimaru Kunizuna. Each sword is a top-notch existence of casting technology and historical connotation behind it.

Suzumaru Koji is one of them, and unlike other knives, it has a special feature when it is delivered, that is, a string of Buddhist beads is wrapped around the knife.It is said that this knife was once owned by the famous monk Bailian in Japanese history, so there is such a 'decoration'.

It was also for this reason that Anna didn't even enshrine him in front of the shrine in Daguangjian.Although Japan doesn't seem to care much about it, it's better not to mix Shintoism and Buddhism together, it always feels weird.

This knife is specially placed in the small hall on the third floor. It is usually the place where the swordsmen who do copywriting work work in shifts, and Anna often goes there.This is neither deserted nor particularly noisy—at least Anna thinks it may be more in line with this character.

As for the dagger, it is now hanging on Anna's waist.Although she doesn't recognize him, many people in Honmaru do...that's right, another member of the Toshiro family.

By the way, the Fujishiro family is really talented.This is not irony, it is true.Not all swords can give birth to the sword Fusangshen, and Toshiro's success rate is so high, I really want to ask the old Mr. Awataguchi in the long river of history how he did it.

Anna returned the call from the Qiyuan, which informed her about this year's commendation conference.The so-called commendation meeting is the promotion meeting. Anyway, the good people and good things in the Go world in the past year will be summarized at this time.

In fact, Anna knew that she would get those awards even without this phone call. This kind of official award is actually useless. Chess players must still value chess titles.But there is one thing worth noting, Anna has been promoted, and it is an exceptional promotion, directly promoted from the third rank to the eighth rank.

How should I put it, people who don't know it may think that the conservative Nippon Kiin is very courageous this time. Seeing Anna's unconventional results, they gave her the unconventional rank.However, for an insider to see, this is actually quite ridiculous.

Regarding the promotion of chess players, in fact, there are unscientific aspects in China, Japan and South Korea, but the root cause lies in Japan.Because both China and South Korea have learned from Japan in the way of promotion. There is no way. In the middle and late twentieth century, Japan was strong in Go. Since others are strong, let’s learn from them.

The promotion adopts the big hand match, anyway, if the victory comes, it will naturally be promoted.It was fine in the early stage, but now there is a problem that cannot be ignored, that is, many young people's chess skills are not worthy of their strength. The seniors are very afraid of these young people.

As for many veteran chess players who have come up with qualifications, their chess skills are often not worthy of their ranks. They just have been in the chess academy for a long time, and their ranks will naturally rise. In fact, they don't have that strength at all.

Anna is definitely a newcomer among the newcomers in Nihon Kiin. It is embarrassing to say that she was actually a beginner chess player when she confirmed that she won the Honinbo title.This is also the first time this has appeared in the Japanese Go world-the Honinbo in the first stage, is Honinbo so worthless!

Then after that year's commendation meeting, Anna was promoted to the third dan. In fact, judging from the situation of Dashouhe, she should have been promoted to the second dan. It sounds better.However, the reality is that the third-rank Honinbo is no better than the second-rank Honinbo.

In fact, up to now, many chess players have realized that there is a problem with the promotion system, but some people don't say it, and some people just say it.For example, the young Korean chess players, they have always been the representatives of youthful vigor and sharp edge. Last year, a newly entered chess player announced that he would never participate in the promotion game.

The Korean chess world was very embarrassing for a while, but there was nothing to do. After all, he couldn't be taken away as a professional chess player just because the opponent didn't participate in this game.The pinnacle of embarrassment is that this year this chess player has won a domestic title and an international championship, and his performance in other games is also remarkable.

If such a chess player has always carried the title of "first stage"...the picture is so beautiful that I dare not look at it-outsiders may find it quite interesting, but to the official organization, it is a slap in the face.

The Korean chess world is now studying whether to set up a special case, and if the player's record is good enough, he will be included in the ranks of promotion.In fact, this kind of practice has long been practiced in China, and China is always more flexible in some rules.Throughout the 90s, with the increase of international Go competitions, China is a country that attaches great importance to international competitions, so many players who have achieved good results in the international arena have taken care of their promotion.

After Anna's wonderful performance this summer, she finally won the overall recognition of the chess world... In fact, the chess academy can't hold her down anymore. If she is promoted according to the normal way, her rank this year will still not be very good, with two titles on her head , the top-ranking tycoon of the Japanese Ki Academy, but a low-rank player, it doesn't look good in the world!

So it was directly promoted to the eighth stage.

But for Anna, this is something she can't let go of.Now that we have already decided to set this precedent, why not simply do it all at once and take out a nine-dan?Maybe Honinbo Kentengen is not worth more than Kudan in Japan?

However, just thinking about it, Anna and her generation of chess players don’t really care much about rank—except for China, because the rank of Chinese chess players is linked to their professional titles, and Go players are also staffed by athletes, so they are not treated with a lot of treatment. will be relevant.

However, apart from China, there is another world. Originally rank only represents chess strength. Everyone knows that you should be more nervous when you meet a high-ranked player.However, nowadays, when rank is no longer representative of strength, naturally more and more new generation chess players no longer care about this.

Anna put down the phone, and as she walked up the corridor outside, she tore off the hair tie on her head and tied her loose hair back up.

When she looked up at the sky, Yingwan, who was drinking tea on the porch, raised her teacup: "Is my lord coming to drink tea... Who is that in the sky?"

Ying Wan also noticed the situation in the sky. In the eyes of ordinary people, it is very likely to be a UFO.But in the eyes of these people, the greater possibility is the creatures from the other side.

Anna narrowed her eyes: "It should be the gods who are going to gather in the Izumo country after the meeting of the gods..."

Yingmaru let out an 'oh', and leisurely finished it again, holding hot tea: "That's really good, but if the gods gather, won't the lord go?"

"I won't go." Anna also sat down and took an empty teacup. Yingmaru very cooperatively lifted the round teapot to refill her tea.

If it was Anna before, maybe she would really go to Izumo country.There are more and more mysteries about her, and she wants to figure out what happened to herself.However, the successive warnings from the assistant officer and King Yan Mo above the Yulan Basin Festival made her suddenly understand that she had to find the answer by herself, and if she asked these people, no one would tell her.

When there is no idea of ​​wanting to inquire about the news, the gathering of the gods of the Izumo Kingdom is meaningless to her.In fact, most of the time, Anna is not conscious of God.

"What am I going to do there?" Anna's face was facing the faint light at dusk, with a strange indifference.She still thinks that she does not belong to Gao Tianyuan God, but what makes her even more unwilling to think deeply is that maybe he does not belong to the human world either.

Ying Wan ran out of tea in the teacup, put down the teacup, and heard the rustling sound of clothes rubbing against each other.Anna was suddenly hugged by Yingwan, Anna turned her head subconsciously, and buried herself in Yingwan's tea-scented clothes.

Daojian Fusangshen's chuckle spread into Anna's ears: "...Little girl, don't be too depressed, this will make us subordinates feel that we are too useless, and we can't even serve the lord!"

"Yingmaru Temple! Let's go!" The voice of someone who was doing the task today came from the door.

"Got it - I have to go first!"

Umaru let go of Anna, half-kneeled in front of Anna, looked at her eyes, then picked up the teapot and poured a cup of tea into his empty teacup: "Ah, if the tea leaves stand upright, it will bring good luck... I put the good luck Give you half."

Speaking of which, Umaru stood up with a smile, took the body knife that was put aside, and rubbed Anna's head with the other hand: "Please be happy... this is our most important request. "

After speaking, he smiled and turned around to go out to solve today's "task". At the time of the devil, it is convenient for them to solve the so-called "monsters and monsters".

Anna was startled, and suddenly smiled, although it was small and fleeting, but it was indeed a smile.

Looking at the sky again, another god is driving in the direction of Izumo country—Izumo country... Are the gods gathering?

The gods of the Izumo Kingdom are indeed gathering. Originally, the original intention of this month was that many gods would gather and have fun in the Izumo Kingdom.However, as things in this world become more and more complicated, it is impossible to play.This month, which was originally used for fun, turned into a gathering of everyone to discuss the affairs of the year, summarize the past, and arrange the future.

But it's impossible to really not play at all, which is impossible for Japanese gods who want to be loose.

So most of the things are resolved on the gods. The so-called Izumo country gatherings are generally purely for fun.

Belonging to the site of the gods, a large number of gods sit on the luxuriant grass, in the maple forest with red maple leaves, and beside the gurgling stream.Surrounded by Meijiuhe delicacies that can be taken at any time, there are gods who are good at music and dancing to perform, the music is fluttering, and the dance is beautiful!

In terms of analogy, it is completely like Gao Tian's original version of Jiuchi Roulin, and I can't feel the majesty and kindness of the gods at all-but Japanese gods sometimes have this style, and they can't be expected to do anything meaningful.

There are many gods who come, and everyone has their own small groups, so there are not many people in each gathering place.

A group like the Seven Lucky Gods made their debut, bah, they are famous, and they have a very good relationship, so of course they are together.But this year, the God of Poverty, Ebisu Xiaofu, also came, and Yato, who applied for the right of residence in Gao Tianyuan, they obviously entangled the Seven Lucky Gods.

"Ah! You bastard!" Da Heitian, who appears to be fierce and ferocious on the surface, is actually the most generous and kind person.However, when facing Xiaofu, he would automatically back away, and when Xiaofu came over, he was like a frightened rabbit—he held a little white rabbit in his hand.

"Hey, Dahetian-chan!" Xiaofu would not let him go easily, and the two gods had already circled around and chased after everyone.

"You bastard! You stole Yebisu's name, right, and your artifact pirated mine——if you get closer, I will definitely ask Gao Tianyuan to punish this kind of copyright issue..." Dahei God is going crazy.

If I have to say it, it's probably because the aura is not right, he really can't get too close to Xiaofu.

As for the colleagues and friends who were watching, they were probably fake, they already only knew 'hahahaha'.

While it was bustling here, a bigger bustle broke out outside.Ye·First time to Izumo country party·Rumbo boy·Dou curious: "What are you doing?"

"Affiliation Cards Affiliation Cards! Don't you know this, Yato God?" Bishamonten, who had always been at odds with Yato, let out a 'hehe' and brought a large pile of wooden cards.

At this time, Xiao Fu finally let Daheitian go, picked up a wooden sign and threw it on Yato's back with a smile: "Hehe, Xiao Yato, this is a fate card, do you want to try it?"

Yato also picked up a marriage card out of nowhere: "Try what?"

Only then did Xiaofu explain: "The fate card is a kind of god card. As long as the names of a pair of human beings and men and women are written on it, during the Kannazuki period, many gods will create opportunities for them to be together. Destined Encounter, romantic encounter... this is the so-called 'God's will'."

"Although I don't know if it will be useful to the gods, but Xiaoyato, do you want to write the names of yourself and Xiao Hiyori?" Xiaofu smiled with a 'huhuhu' and narrowed his eyes.

"What!" Yato broke away from Xiaofu with a huge reaction, as if he had heard the news of the destruction of the world.

However, this is of no use. Xiaofu seems to be confused, but he has a very precise intuition.

Fortunately, everyone didn't care about Yato's reaction, gathered in Izumo Country, wrote down the names of the people they wanted to match up on the matchmaking cards, and then everyone worked together to find a way to make them match up.This was originally a fun game for gatherings in the Izumo Kingdom, a game that brought great joy-yes, Japanese gods are so unreliable.

Glancing left and right, Yato finally succumbed and sat down: "Then...then what, it shouldn't be useful to the gods, right?"

"That's not sure." It was Yebisu who didn't expect to answer, he was very serious: "Because no one has tried it yet."

Hearing this, Yato looked curiously at Ebisu's matchmaking card: "Who are you going to write about?"

On the left side of Ebisu's affiliation card, the place where the man's name is written has been written - 'Ebisu'.

Yato touched his chin and nodded: "Well, do you have a believer named Ebisu? You are a good guy, and you have not forgotten to fulfill the wish of the believer at this time. But will the believer really come to you for marriage? , isn’t that appropriate—wait, Ebisu—"

As if being trampled on the neck, Yato turned his head and looked at Ebisu: "Could it be you who wrote it yourself?"

Ebisu didn't feel that he had done anything extraordinary, so he nodded very naturally.

In fact, he did a very remarkable thing, because this is what Yato wanted to do but was afraid to do... In fact, he really wanted to write a piece and give it a try.

"Huh? Is Xiao Ebisu planning to write about Anna?" Xiao Fu was the quickest to hear the voice.

She was indeed amazingly accurate in some intuitions, Ebisu nodded without hesitation.However, this is obviously beyond Yato's cognition, he seems to know Ebisu again: "You, you, you, and Anna!?"

"En." Ebisu responded in a low voice, but he never wrote Anna's name on the other side of the fate card, and finally the fate card was put away by himself.

Without Xiaofu's entanglement, Daheitian has much more leeway.Noticing Ebisu's situation, he patted him on the shoulder cheerfully: "You have a good eye! Although I don't know her yet, friends who know her say she is great—but if you and Ebisu It should be very difficult for her to become a divine marriage."

As if thinking of something, Daheitian turned his head and asked Bishamonten: "Does she know her situation, or keep it a secret according to Amaterasu's order?"

Because Bishamonten is a top-level Valkyrie who is often monsters in the Shihua District, he has had some business contacts with Anna, so he knows a little more about the situation.Shaking his head: "Anna Palace doesn't know yet... About this matter, Amaterasu thinks it's not the best time yet."

On the contrary, Daheitian didn't take it seriously: "There is no suitable time at all, maybe it's better to explain it earlier."

At this time, Bishamonten was able to look at this issue more objectively.

"It's not that simple. If Anna Dian told her everything when she didn't know anything at the beginning, she would not be willing or able to bear it. During this time, Anna Dian has actually grown a lot and changed a lot. Maybe it won't be long. , Amaterasu ordered them to feel that Anna Dian can bear those things."
