The ten-year trace of the soul of chess

The shooting at Genko-an in the morning seemed to consume too much energy. In the afternoon, on the way to Liuliguangyuan, the light seemed to be hollowed out, and it was uncharacteristically quiet.

During the first half of the drive, Guang kept his back hunched, his gaze vacantly out of the window.

Liang was a little afraid to see such a light.Whenever Guang showed such an expression, he didn't know what Guang was thinking.

He hesitated, squeezed his bare hands, and asked softly, "Are you tired? Do you want to sleep for a while?"

Guang finally turned around, held his hand back, shook his head lightly, and then turned his gaze out of the window.

He is fine and not tired.

I was just thinking about what Nishimoto had said to him when he was at Genkoan.

——I hope you can remember the feeling when you were shooting just now. Although the pain will wear down your will, it will also make you stronger.

What exactly is that person trying to say?

Guang snorted coldly in disdain, but had to admit that he had no reason to refute Nishimoto.

Liuliguangyuan is named for the moss and greenery in the courtyard and the colorful lights and shadows in the courtyard.

Among them, "Liuli Pavilion" is the most famous.

However, when entering the courtyard, everyone did not go straight to the "Liuli Pavilion", but walked through the vestibule to the backyard.

The further you go, the fewer tourists there are.

After walking for a long time, a corridor of maple suddenly broke into everyone's sight unsuspectingly.Large areas of orange-red blocks are as straight as Van Gogh's intensely colored oil paintings, covering the entire bluestone road layer by layer under thick maple leaves.Perhaps few people care about it, but the maple leaves are still full and fresh.

Nishimoto didn't know what he said to Mika and Igarashi, they nodded slightly, then took out two big bags from their bags, and began to bend down to pick up the maple leaves on the ground.

Just as Guang was about to step forward to help, he was grabbed by Eriko and grabbed aside to touch up his makeup.

Hikaru stretched out his hand to Liang as if asking for help, but found helplessly that while he was being "hijacked", Chiho Kuriyama also took Liang aside, untied the hair tie on his head, and held Liang a little bit with a straight iron. The imprinted long hair is straightened again.

Seeing Chiho Kuriyama's fingertips gently gliding across Ryo's hair, even though he knew it was necessary for work, Hikari still felt a little uncomfortable.

His eyes kept monitoring Kuriyama Chiho's every move, until Eriko's voice sounded in his ears: "Shinto-kun and Taya-kun have a really good relationship!"

"Ah? What?" Guang was obviously taken aback.

Eriko burst out laughing with a "puchi", and while sweeping the last layer of makeup powder on Hikari's face, she said, "Because you have been looking at each other since just now. It's not just Shinto-kun, you— Don't think I didn't see it! Even Taya-kun has been looking at us, but you can't see him with your back turned."

But I can feel it.Guang said in his heart, but there was only an ambiguous answer in his throat.

Fortunately, it was inconvenient to talk when putting on the makeup powder, so Eriko didn't ask any more questions afterwards.

When Eriko's side finished all the arrangements, Igarashi's side was also ready to call for the two of them to come over.

As soon as Liang and Guang walked back to the corridor, Igarashi and Meixiang walked over with bags, signaling them to grab a handful of maple leaves each.

Guang and Liang looked at each other, and just about to say something, Xiben had already walked up to the two of them and explained to them the follow-up shooting process in detail.

When everyone arrived at the Liuliguangyuan, the sun had gradually sunk to the west.

At this moment, the sun setting in the west is no longer as scorching as in the morning, and it falls obliquely on the bright light, as if using a reflector, so naturally casts a soft light and shadow.

Xiben stood a few meters away, looking at the two teenagers standing opposite each other in the camera, and with a wave of his right hand, a grand rain of maple leaves was staged in and out of the painting at the same time.

The time in the camera seems to have been deliberately set a few frames behind by someone.

The orange-red maple leaves spun down like a butterfly dance, swept the young man's hair, slid down the young man's shoulders, and then slowly fell to the ground.

In the small square viewfinder, in the rain of maple leaves one after another, the boy with golden bangs raised his head slightly, revealing the beautiful outline of his profile.

The palms of his hands are facing up, as if trying to catch the fallen leaves in mid-air.

Lips and teeth fluttered, full of uncontrollable excitement and exclamation: "Taya, look!"

But the long-haired boy next to him was always smiling, quietly looking at him, and only when a maple leaf fell, he took a step forward and gently picked off the fallen leaves that fell on his hair...

After everyone's filming in the Maple Corridor came to an end, the daily temperature dropped a little.

At this time, when I returned to the "Liuli Pavilion", there were no tourists like weaving just now, but it showed a bit of coldness.

But it was under the cold sunlight that the polished and polished floor on the second floor was like a huge mirror, reflecting all the gorgeous scenes of the ink painting outside the courtyard on the floor of the Japanese room.

The illusion of pink in red and green inlaid in pink is like an enchantment extending in all directions. The bright light sits in the middle of it and plays chess, as if blending into a scene in the painting, frozen in the light and shade constructed by the shadows It is two slender silhouettes.

The shooting at Liuliguangyuan was not as labor-intensive as it was in the morning.

In a short time, the whole day of filming was completed.

At the end of the day's trip, on the way back to the hotel, Igarashi pre-sent the question papers for tomorrow's joint interview to the two of them - all the scenes for tomorrow's day will be filmed at Jiguang Temple.In the morning, there was a three-time rapid chess match specially arranged for the two of them.After the lunch break, there will be an exclusive interview with "Chess" magazine on the two of them.

The content of the exclusive interview includes two parts, one part is a joint interview and the other part is an individual interview.

The questions that may be involved in the joint interview have all been listed in the question draft given to the two by Igarashi, and the two can prepare in advance at night; and the single-person interview, because the questions are relatively life-oriented, and will be interspersed with the degree of understanding of each other Therefore, they did not inform the two of the questions in advance.

Back in the room, Liang was looking at the question paper that Igarashi had given them, when suddenly he felt a warm heat approaching him, and when he looked up, he saw that Guang was looking at him faintly with their mobile phones.

Like a small animal, a little cautious but eager to try.

"What are you thinking about again, huh?" Liang put down the question draft in his hand.

He was too familiar with this expression of light.Every time I just look at myself this way, it means that I am brewing some "new idea".

Sure enough, the light came closer, and he clicked on the interface of his mobile phone: "I'll show you something!"

On the mobile phone interface, there is a recently popular SNS social platform. After registering and logging in, users can upload text and photos with a limited number of words to record their daily activities.

Although I heard He Gu talking about it before, Guang usually doesn't pay attention to this kind of software. It was Eriko who strongly recommended it this afternoon, which finally opened the door to a new world.

"I went up and looked around just now, and unexpectedly found that Hegu, Yijiao, and even Ogata Fox—cough, Mr. Ogata is also using this platform!" Guang said more and more vigorously, and rubbed against Liang again, "Look! This is Hegu's latest status!"

On the screen, a user whose account is Zelda sent a photo of six or seven shopping bags with the text: My leg is about to break/laugh and cry.jpg

Liang couldn't help laughing, and while listening, he turned sideways and put him in his arms: "Well, what then?"

At this moment, Guang is fully focused on the "New World" he discovered, and he lay down in Liang's arms very naturally, and then said: "Then, I also went up and registered one! This is it!"

As he spoke, he shook his hand and showed Liang the latest achievement he had just made.

"A ramen lover... Honinbo?"

"Well, how's it going? Isn't my user name very handsome?" Guang took the phone closer again, "Take a closer look?"

Liang took another closer look, and when he saw it clearly, the corners of his eyes suddenly curled up.

——It's an avatar.

The photo used by Guang is the one he took yesterday in the ramen alley.However, I edited it a little bit, and on the basis of keeping the whole bowl of ramen, I only showed the corner of my shirt.

Knowing that Liang had discovered the mystery in the avatar, Guang raised his chin triumphantly at him, and then stuffed Liang's mobile phone into his hand: "I've already registered, so hurry up!"

He showed a somewhat embarrassed expression.

Later, I was so worn out by the light that I had no choice but to circle the light and create a new account under his supervision.

After entering the user name, it must be reviewed by Guang: "So, is it okay?"

Guang glanced roughly, frowned dissatisfiedly, took Liang's phone directly to modify it, and returned the phone to Liang after a few minutes.

"The back wall of Honinbo?" Liang looked at the revised user name on the screen, and was speechless for a while.

Light seems to be born knowing how to appreciate himself.Even if he didn't get Ryo's affirmation, it still couldn't reduce his bursting self-confidence: "How is it? Doesn't this ID sound much better than 'Honinbo's full-time housekeeper'?"

Liang kept staring at the new username for a long time before slowly nodding his head.

Guang seemed to feel something, and leaned against Liang's chest for a moment of silence, then sat up and turned to look directly at Liang: "Taya, you have never been my housekeeper."

He said: "I just want you to be my back. When I turn around, I can see you."

Light's expression and tone were extremely serious, for a moment, Liang didn't know how to respond.

He kept looking at the light like this, and after a while, he finally held the light's hand and said softly, "I've always been here."

It was on this night that Liang posted the first text in his account.

—Although it is a bit late.Happy [-]st Anniversary, my Mr. Honinbo.

Compared with the intensive shooting in the first two days, the shooting in other places of interest in Kyoto on the third day was relatively easy.

After two days of getting along with each other, everyone soon discovered that Taya chess player would speak more appropriately when there was Hikari Shinto.But as long as the Jinto chess player walks away, he will return to his indifferent state.It's not difficult to approach, but no matter how difficult it is to get into the eyes of the smile on the lips, it seems that Hikari Shinto is the only medium for him to integrate with the world.

Eriko noticed the way Taya looked at Shinto several times.

It seems to be like this all the time—the pair of long and narrow eyes clearly didn't show a trace of a smile one second, but the next second, it seemed that the ice that hadn't melted for a thousand years suddenly melted, and so gently put that figure into the dark green irises , placed properly.

The three-day filming was over by noon on the fourth day in Beijing.

Since the return flight is scheduled at 11:[-] noon on the second day, apart from the time on the way from Kyoto to Kansai Airport tomorrow morning, there is still plenty of free time for Guangguang.

Liang originally had some doubts, why he didn't take the same day's flight and return directly to Tokyo until he separated from the staff of the magazine and followed Hikari to the Kyoto Imperial Palace.

"So, did you premeditate?"

"Yes, do you have any objections?" Guang said while handing an appointment slip to the staff at the door.

The Kyoto Imperial Palace was the residence of successive emperors before the Meiji Restoration moved the capital to Edo.

Although Liang had heard of it, it was the first visit.

The two entered through the gate of Qingsuo, followed the signs and walked all the way in.

The chrysanthemum tiles that symbolize the royal family and the mortise and tenon building structure, even though they have been destroyed by fire 7 times, the courtyards and palaces in the Kyoto Imperial Palace still exude majesty and solemnity soaked in history.

When walking to the Changyu Palace where the emperor usually lived, Hikari suddenly stopped, as if listening to something, and closed his eyes.

"What are you listening to?" Liang asked.

Guang still closed his eyes: "Listen, the sound of chess playing."

Crack - clap - resounded so crisply throughout the entire hall.

For no reason, Liang had a strange idea in his mind.

He asked Guang: "Who's next?"

Hikaru slowly opened his eyes, and said in a voice that only each other could hear: "Sai."

Sawai Fujiwara, the chess player who once instructed the emperor to play chess in the Heian era, did he also live here, playing Go happily every day, until another chess player told the emperor that only one Go instructor is needed, until He was denounced in public and lost the chess game, until he was expelled from the capital and sank in the lake...

The time of being a human being stopped forever on that day.

Finally told Taya the story of Sai in its entirety, without reservation, while Hikaru let out a sigh of relief, he also faintly felt unwilling.

"Obviously he is a real person who once existed, how come there is no record at all?" Guang murmured repeatedly, as if he was competing with himself.Although I know that history is always written by the victors, I still feel uneasy after all.

After learning about Sai's life for the first time, Liang also fell into a long silence after being shocked. After a long time, he said, "Maybe...Sai came back to this world just to let us meet."

Guang looked at Liang with some astonishment, and then smiled in relief: "Maybe."

Up to now, he has no way of knowing what kind of mood Sai was in before he disappeared, but just as Liang said before, he is the successor of Sai, and all he can do now is to let Sai play the game of Go that he has been thinking about all his life. More people know and pay attention to...

"Hey, Taya, do you think Sai has become a Buddha now?"

Liang thought for a while, and said truthfully, "I don't know."

Guang cursed secretly in his heart that "a rotten wood cannot be carved", but he quickly let go of it. Wasn't the clumsy and sincere person in front of him the one he chose?

The author has something to say:

Today is the first anniversary of the publication of "Traces of the Decade".

Well, there are too many things I want to say, after thinking about it, let's wait until the day this article is officially finished.

In fact, I just wanted to write a small essay of 15 words, but I didn’t expect that the battle line would be too long, and I haven’t finished writing it for a year. Well, I will try to finish it before the end of this year.

This article is updated very quickly, it may not be very easy to read, and there are a lot of mistakes in wording and sentence making.

Thank you for your company this year.

Thank you also for still staying here everyone.

Liang said, I have always been there.

I said that the next update will continue.
