Just after opening the directory, Xingboxiang mistakenly thought she was dazzled.
"strangeness……"
She found that the serialization order of "Chess Soul" was placed at the back. According to Phoenix Company's previous practice, their new serialization should be placed first, but this time it was very late. Could it be that it was because there were too many words and was afraid of affecting readers' reading sense?
Although strange, Xingboxiang didn't care much about this little thing. She turned over the previous comic and found "Soul of Chess". The first impression of this new comic made Xingboxiang feel very good. The homepage is a color picture cover with several characters and plot introductions.
This time the protagonist is unexpectedly young. He is a sixth grade primary school child named Xiaoguang. His hair color on his head is different, giving people a very distinct feeling.
The introduction of "Soul of Chess" is very simple. In order to make some pocket money, Xiao Guang ran to his grandfather's house to look for treasure and accidentally found an old chessboard. The moment he touched the chessboard, the soul of the ancient chess player possessed in the chessboard entered Xiao Guang's body...
Xing Boxiang had already learned the introduction in advance, but when she actually opened the comic, she was still surprised. It turned out that she thought the introduction would be the content of the first chapter. However, unexpectedly, He Xi made Xiaoguang walk into the abandoned warehouse in the first scene at the beginning, and only a few pieces of paper were used to tell the plot of the introduction.
"So fast!" She was startled. "The Soul of Chess" started straight to the theme, which was surprisingly fast. However, under his superb painting skills, it was not abrupt at all. Instead, it was full of courage and instantly inserted into the readers.
"And...his painting skills have improved again!"
Xing Boxiang reached out to touch the pages of the book. The pages were the scene of the chess player appearing. He appeared above the chess board and was very well-drawn, with long hair and wide robe, plain clothes and high hats. He could make people fall in love with this beautiful man-like character at a glance.
"The Soul of Chess" has a few pages, and three characters appear, Xiaoguang and one of his childhood sweethearts. Then there is this ancient chess player. There are not many characters, but each of them is very vivid and the environment is extremely exquisite. This new comic is impeccable in the quality of the picture.
No wonder "Chess Soul" is popular. Just this picture makes people want to buy it home and put it on the bookshelf to collect it.
"If you have a single book, you must buy one."
Xingboxiang thought this way, and at the same time she was a little happy and worried. Her bookshelf contained more and more He Xi's works, and the single-line version of "Chess Soul" was released again. She had to consider moving away other cartoonists' comics - He Xi's level is different from other cartoonists.
Although I was distressed, I was more happy with good comics. Xingboxiang continued to read them.
After the chess player was attached to Xiaoguang, Xiaoguang had a dream and led Xingboka to reveal his identity as a chess player. He was a genius chess player born in the extreme east area for more than 800 AD. He was framed and committed suicide. However, his enthusiasm for Go still existed after his death, so his soul was attached to the chessboard. This chess player woke up once in the past and possessed him by Honinbo Hidese (Torjiro)...
"Wait, Honinbo Hidese?"
Seeing this, Xingboxiang stopped, and she felt that the name was familiar.
Although she is not a professional historian or a Go player, Xingboxiang is also a knowledgeable person. When she saw this name, she felt familiar. It seemed that there was indeed such a person in history.
"Isn't it totally fiction?"
Xingboka was a little surprised. She put down the comics first and checked them on the computer. Sure enough, Honinbo Hidese (1829-1862), a Go player in the mid-19th century, was also a famous player in the history of Chinese Go. Many people consider it the strongest chess player in the extreme east.
Even now, many people highly praised him, believing that he could rank among the top three in Go strength in the past two hundred years. However, this is mainly because Honinbo Hidesho's era happened to be in the golden age before Go decline, and shortly after him, the Go world began to decline.
"Teacher He Xi is so bold!"
Joeboka had to sigh that this setting was unexpectedly bold. Honinbo Hidese was a famous chess player, but in the setting of "Soul of Chess", his real identity was actually this ancient chess player named Sae - it is not an exaggeration to say that it is offensive.
“The Go world is really open-minded.”
However, the person who cares about the setting of Honinbo Hidese should be the players in the Go world. The introduction page of "Soul of Chess" shows that there are several top chess players in the comic chess game, so it is obvious that Go players do not mind the offense of this setting.
They didn't mind, so there was no problem with Xingboxiang.
In fact, she thought this setting was very good. If it was just a fictional chess player, even if He Xi said he was very strong, it would be a bit untenable. But if he substituted for the identity of Honinbo Hideto, the chess player's chess power would naturally have an authority. No matter how powerful Sae was, it would not make people feel strange.
"Maybe more people will know about Honinbo Hidese..."
Xing Boxiang thought so and turned the comics into her hand.
The story of "Chess Soul" is a bit transcendent to reality. Ancient souls and possession will remind people of fantasy novels. However, in fact, it is not a fantasy novel, nor does it have martial arts or fighting scenes. After the previous plot, the comic immediately evolved into a very realistic story.
Zuo Wei did not snatch Xiao Guang's body. On the contrary, this is a very pure character. He only wants Xiao Guang to take him to play chess all day long, and he doesn't seem to be interested in anything else, but Xiao Guang is not interested in Go at all, so he ignores it.
The interaction between the two is full of fun and laughter. Xing Boxiang watched with a smile while secretly praising He Xi's description of the characters as if it was superb. Every storyline he wrote is meaningful, and no details that enhance the charm of the comics are missed.
Xing Boxiang did not expect that the opportunity for the two characters to intersect was a history exam.
During this elementary school student exam, Xiaoguang fell into trouble, but Zuowei gave the answer fluently. Xiaoguang was very happy. He relied on Zuowei to do the questions quickly, and then agreed to take Zuowei to play chess.
Xing Boxiang smiled bitterly. She didn't expect that the reason for playing chess was actually this, but it seemed very real and very consistent with the character's age positioning, fully showing Xiaoguang's childish side.
"But why is it a bit familiar..."
For some reason, Xingboxiang discovered a sense of déjà vu. She frowned slightly, and then suddenly thought of He Xi, the recognized number one comic artist in China. He is too genius, and sometimes people will feel that he has another soul.
