Cherry blossoms fell like rain, the fragrance of tea filled people's hearts, and beautiful women gathered to play chess.。。。。
Two hundred years ago:
Li Yi: " Bai Zai, what do you think will happen if the other five pieces are not led by this 'Owl Chess'?"”There was a hidden meaning to this sentence. According to the rules of chess, if the other party ate this 'Owl Chess', he would be the winner.
Bai Zai: " Chess is different from reality. If you lose the commander in chess, you will be completely annihilated. However, in reality, if the Emperor was missing, someone else would take over the position.”Bai Zai understood what Rii meant.
"Yeah, there are rules to playing chess."。。However, reality was different. Naturally, no one would follow the rules of the game in this world. It was said that gaming life had its meaning.。。”
Bai Zai replied,[But in reality, there is the same fate as the chess game.]”
Riyi: " Sacrifice the child to protect the master. That's right, this is the fate of scattered chess pieces. But I... However, she did not want to be like San Qi, who was so sad that she did not resist and was at the mercy of others. The path was created by oneself, so it must be decided by oneself. Don't you think so?"
Recalling the scenes at that time, Bai Zai couldn't help but sigh and say to himself,""However, even so, I'm not sure if you're willing to do so. You were also willing to give up this resistance for him. In order to protect the family you care about...。。。。”
As he spoke, he looked at the small and exquisite brocade bag placed beside the chessboard. The pattern of golden flowing clouds made of gold and silver threads was inlaid with snow-white silk brocade cloth. It had been stored for a hundred years, but it was still exquisite and delicate. Bai Zai held the item in his hand, afraid of losing it.
What should come will come
。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。
The scene in the office of the Tenth Division was exactly the same. The silver-haired young man was still working hard on the heavy documents, and the vice-captain had disappeared.
At this moment, a member of the team reported the visit of the 13th Division's Vice Captain Xiu Mu. Dong Shi Lang immediately stopped writing and looked outside the door.
"Come in."
Lucia pushed the door open and entered politely.""Captain Hitsugaya, my elder brother, no, Captain Xiu Mu of the Sixth Division, asks you to come to the garden in the Xiu Mu Residence at 2 PM sharp. Captain Xiu Mu has something important to discuss with you.”
When Dong Shi Lang heard this, the pen in his hand fell onto the white paper, and an expression of disbelief appeared on his face.
Xiu Mu invited me to his mansion to discuss important matters? And it was a must? What was going on? According to common sense, Dong Shiro felt that the probability of him going to Xiu Mu's house to drink tea was almost twenty percent. Even if his teacher and the captain of the Sixth Division were lovers and childhood sweethearts, it didn't mean that he had anything in common with this " Captain Iceberg ", who was also known as the Soul Realm. The two of them simply had a mutual benefit relationship. This time, it was as if the sun had risen from the west when he sent Lucia to invite him to his house for tea.
Around two o'clock in the afternoon:
Alright, Dong Shilang was speechless and depressed on the way. Could it be that the punishment for yesterday's 'mistake' was too light, so he was punished severely? But according to his personality, he wouldn't do that either.
Along the way, Dong Shi Lang did a lot of thinking work. It could be said that he came to the banquet with an uneasy mood. He himself did not like the luxurious atmosphere of noble families. He felt an indescribable sense of boredom.
Under Lucia's lead, Fuyunshiro walked through the magnificent palace. If it were an ordinary person, they would be moved by the grandeur and scenery of this aristocratic house. They would definitely be amazed and forget about it. However, Captain Hitsugaya was the opposite. His mind was filled with how to deal with this tea party.
"Captain Hitsutani, we're here."”
They were led to a quiet cherry blossom forest. Looking around, he saw Chief Xiu Mu, who was dressed in a normal kimono, sitting in the tea pavilion in the middle, as if he had been waiting for his arrival.
Dong Shi Lang tried to maintain his calmness as he sat opposite Bai Zai. The servants filled their cups with tea, and Lucia took her leave. Only the two of them were left. The place was frighteningly quiet. They looked at each other speechlessly, causing the already awkward atmosphere to become much more rigid. Toshiro finally understood what it felt like to sit next to two people who usually spoke very little.
"Captain Xiu Mu, you didn't look for me just to have a cup of tea, did you?”Dong Shi Lang couldn't hold it in any longer. Instead of staying silent, he might as well ask first.
Only then did Xiu Mu calmly take out a square box the size of a chessboard and place it between the two of them. He slowly said,"Next game."
"Ah?" Upon hearing this, his mind went a little blank. It was rare for him to be in a state of power failure.
Did he hear wrongly? He had asked someone to come all the way here just to play chess?？
Dong Shilang couldn't believe it. He looked at Bai Zai as if he was looking at a stranger. Heavens, of all people, he had to be chosen. It was not that he had never played it before. Oh, no, he had never seen it before. He remembered that he had watched Rii play a few times before, and he could still vaguely remember the basic rules of the game. However, this did not mean that he had completely mastered it. At that time, Riyi wanted to teach him some zither, chess, calligraphy, and painting, but she had run away. It wasn't that he couldn't learn it himself, but that he didn't have the interest at all.
Xiao Bai: " You've found the wrong person. You should find Floating Bamboo or Jingle to play with you." I'm a complete layman, let alone playing 'Six Gambles Chess'.”
Bai Zai: "It's good to be safe. There's a reason why I specially asked you to come here. As for what it was, he would know in the next game.。”Since you're here, you should take it easy? What medicine was rotten wood selling in his gourd? Dong Shi Lang was puzzled, but it was not appropriate for him to leave in this situation. She had no choice but to play the next game with him. Dong Shi Lang even suspected that Bai Zai was very drunk today, or that he was still dreaming.
Bai Zai opened the expensive and ancient board made of red wood. Although Dong Shilang did not have much experience in appraising cultural relics, he could tell from the workmanship and material that this chessboard was worth a lot. It was even a national antique.
Dong Shi Lang was a little speechless when he saw this. This was too…Wasn't it a little extravagant…
However, in the next moment, a chaotic memory flashed through Dong Shi Lang's mind. He suddenly felt dizzy, and the things in front of him began to blur and even overlap. His head suddenly hurt so much that he felt like he would faint at any moment. Gradually…He began to hallucinate. He only knew that there was a voice echoing in his heart. It was clearly his own voice, but it was so unfamiliar to him.
"I'm sorry, but I'll be controlling your mind for a while. It won't be long.”
Who was it? Who was speaking? Lend my spirit to him temporarily?
At this moment, Dong Shilang fell unconscious. However, he immediately raised his head. It was as if nothing had happened. Bai Zai, who had been sitting opposite him, seemed to be waiting for something.
Immediately, his emerald green eyes turned into a cold silvery-white color. The pure white light scattered down like snow and lit up his pupils. It was as if he had turned into snow water, and his pupils returned to their original green color. However, he had already changed into a different person, no, a different soul!
Dong Shi Lang's expression was even calmer than before. He handled things calmly, without any hint of helplessness. Bai Zai knew that the person sitting in front of him was no longer the captain of the Tenth Division that he knew, but another him who had finally woken up from his deep sleep--the second prince of the Northern Kingdom, the descendant of the Sage King--Hitsugaya Toshiro!
Dong Shilang smiled calmly, breaking the heavy atmosphere. He said unhurriedly,"Long time no see, Cousin."
"Have you woken up, Your Highness?"”Bai Zai didn't seem surprised because of this. These things seemed to be under his control, but his tone became much more solemn and respectful.
"You must have a lot of questions." But don't worry, I'm not another soul. I'm just a carrier of 'my' lost memories. I was one with the other memories, but I couldn't accept it now.”As she spoke, she picked up her teacup and took a sip of tea. Her movements were elegant and natural. Those who didn't know the inside story would think that Dong Shilang had made a 360-degree change. Then, he added,"That's why I can only control my main body for a certain period of time, just like now." But after a while, it would be given back to other memories to dominate.”
"Your soul now belongs to the memories left behind when you were a prince.”
Xiaobai: " That's right. The one in front of you now is the Hitsugaya of the past. They were just sealed memories.”
[Bai Zai: Your memories have been unsealed, but your memories are unable to completely fuse with the current him.] Please let him maintain his current life. Otherwise, what happened a hundred years ago would repeat itself. You've been...”
"I know. It's because of the two of them that my memories were unsealed. This was also that person's goal. His ambition to obtain the Spirit World Key had not been extinguished.。。”
"For your own sake, it's best for you to withdraw from this dispute and live a normal life.”
Xiaobai: " It's too late. I can't retreat just because I want to. Once the two memories collide, there will definitely be a connection! Now, the frequency of me dreaming and recalling those things is increasing. Even if I don't want to, it's only a matter of time before I fuse with another part of my memory. I will return with the memories of revenge and fear.。。。”
"Then what are your plans for the future?" Won't you just sit there and wait for death?"
"Since we can't change the current situation, we can only fight to the death, just like the scattered pieces of the Six Bucks Chess. He wouldn't be a sacrifice for Owl Chess.”As he spoke, he picked up a loose chess piece from the chess box. "Oh, right. That Seven Star Constellation should also be with you, right? Cousin Riyi should have given it to you for safekeeping.”
Bai Zai took out a necklace in the shape of the Big Dipper and handed it to Dong Shilang.
"I'll leave this sacred relic of the country to you to protect."。。”
Dong Shi Lang held the necklace of the Seven Stars Constellation and stared at it."This might also awaken the memories of the descendants of other clans as soon as possible. Right now, I have to ally with Xi Zhu and the others. This is my only choice.”
"I won't stop you, but you have to guarantee your own life.”
"I will." Back then, Cousin Li Yi passed away to protect me. Now, it was time to make Yamiya Ying pay with her blood.。。。”As soon as these words were said, Dong Shilang's expression became sharp and cold. Although he was calm as usual, the flames of hatred in his heart arose spontaneously.
"I still want to remind you.”Bai Zai stood up." Don't move around with your current body. This would only arouse suspicion. You were the one who did the last part of the sword fight yesterday, right?”
Xiao Bai: " Ah, I'm sorry. It was just a spur of the moment. He hadn't competed with Xi Zhu for a long time, but that kid was still the same as before.”Dong Shi Lang paused for a moment and then remembered something."By the way, brother-in-law, do you know that lively girl with short black hair?”
Bai Zai: " You're referring to Natori Amagasaki. She's Isshin Amagasaki's daughter. She's only a human with a very high spiritual pressure now.”
"Is that so…" She and Mayo…They really look alike…" After saying this, Dong Shi Lang's eyes turned silvery-white for a moment before returning to normal. After looking around for a long time, he realized that Bai Zai was still sitting in front of him and drinking tea leisurely. Could it be that the headache just now was also an illusion? Dong Shilang was a little nervous and suspected that he should really give himself a long vacation to rest for a few days. He had been feeling very abnormal these days. Could it be due to insufficient sleep and excessive fatigue?
He looked at the chessboard again. Heavens, when did this game start? Seeing the scattered chess pieces falling irregularly on the board, he realized that this was already an " endgame." The one in trouble was his white chess piece. Although the black chess piece was not inferior, it was still a few steps behind the other party. It could be said that White won by a narrow margin.
Could it be that he had played this game while sleepwalking? He even won? He had no impression of it.
Dong Shi Lang stared at the chessboard, his heart filled with questions and depression.
"You've already won, Captain Hitsugaya. Your Go skills aren't as bad as you think.”Bai Zai's voice interrupted Dong Shilang, who was in a state of confusion.
"Excuse me..." How long have we been down there?"
Bai Zai said,"About ten minutes, it's fast chess."”
What was that? Fast chess? Although he knew that Liu Bo was not as time-consuming as Go, how was it possible that he did not have any impression when playing fast chess? She was starting to suspect that she had amnesia or something.
"Do you still want to play?"
"Ah, no." I still have some documents to deal with in the team, so I should go. Thank you for your invitation.”After Dong Shi Lang finished speaking, he quickly left when he saw Bai Zai Ying's head.
Actually, that game of Go was played by Dong Shi Lang and Bai Zai while they were discussing things before he turned back. After that, Dong Shi Lang wore the Seven Stars Constellation and cast a spell on the necklace. No one could see it, and it felt like it was hanging in the air. Other than his memory, no one else could see him (including his own body).

"Oh..." Eating afternoon tea and desserts can really improve your mood ~"
Luan Ju was sitting on a wooden chair, holding a glass of ice cream with strawberry and vanilla sauce. As soon as he put the first spoonful into his mouth, his face immediately showed an unparalleled sense of happiness.
Sitting beside her were Jing, Xia Li, and Qi Xu from the Eighth Division. Of course, they were all here to accompany her.
Each girl was holding a different dessert and enjoying it on a bench under the bright spring sun.
" Miss Luan Ju, it's not summer yet," Qi Xu said." Eating ice is bad for your health."”Qi Xu, who was sitting at the end, couldn't help but remind him.
" What does it matter?" Luan Ju replied." The princess is also very happy."”
The mirror held a sorbet with chocolate mocha sauce in its hand and enjoyed the delicacy very much.
" Your Highness," said Qi Xu," it's best to eat less of these things that are too cold before summer."”
Jing nodded with a spoon in her mouth. Next to her was Charley, who had just finished eating. Charley put down her fork in satisfaction. The mousse cake on her plate had already been eaten by her.
Mirror: " It's quite delicious. I didn't expect the food in the real world to be completely different from ours." I still don't know what this black sweet sauce is.”
"That's chocolate. Many people like it."”
"Chocolate?" What a strange name."
"Then what does the princess eat in the palace every day?"”
Mirror: The food in the East was mainly seafood, but they usually ate traditional dishes from the Heian era.”
"Wouldn't that mean you're a vegetarian every day?" It was said that in ancient times, even nobles could not touch meat.”
(During the Heian Era, Emperor Tenmu ordered a ban on cattle, horses, dogs, apes, and chickens. During the Nara period, Emperor Shengwu banned the consumption of cattle and horses. Therefore, during the Heian era, people had developed the habit of not eating animal meat. This habit was maintained until the Meiji Restoration period. I feel that the ancient Japanese are quite pitiful. They might as well become monks.）
"Hehe, don't misunderstand." The spirit world doesn't have the same customs as the ancient humans. What I mean is that the style of cooking is archaic. However, there was still meat, especially delicacies from all over the world.”
Xia Li heaved a sigh of relief. She had thought that the royal family's food was not even as good as theirs.
Mirror: " But there are so many rules for eating. Why would they be so casual?" Actually, I'm quite envious of you."
"Even eating has many rules?"”
Mirror: " Yes, you have to wrap it up like a dumpling every day. How to hold chopsticks and rice bowl, and how to sit is etiquette.。。Even eating a meal was done according to the rules. It felt like everything they ate was done according to the rules.”
At this point, everyone laughed. Charlie was a little glad that she wasn't born into an ancient noble family. Otherwise, she would have gone crazy. When she chatted with Mirror, she didn't feel like a high and mighty princess at all. She only felt like an ordinary girl who was bound by her aristocratic upbringing.
Mirror: " Ah, Xia Li, do you know what Dong Shi Lang likes to eat?”
"He likes to eat sweet natto, but he's not used to other sweets."”
"Sweet natto?" It felt like…It looks like the food that old people like to eat."
"You think so too?" said Charley."They say he's old, even the food he eats is the same."”
While the girls were gossiping, Dong Shilang, who was on his way back, sneezed loudly.。。
Heavens, who was talking about him again?
