Guiguzi: the Master of Xuanmen Chess Determines China

Guiguzi Wang Xu was an extraordinary person and a descendant of ancient Taoism. He was in charge of the "Wordless Tianshu" heavenly book. He possessed the six skills of Dao, military, strategy, divination, medicine, and fortune-telling. He lived for more than three hundred years and hid in the Guigu Valley of Yunmeng Mountain. He did not seek refuge from the world, but used "the nine states of China as chess, the princes of the seven countries as sons, and the pawns of hundreds of families as pawns" to deduce the unification of the world. He does not accept disciples as disciples, but only chooses "those who defy fate to change fate" to teach his skills. His disciples are all chess pieces for him, but they all think that they control their own destiny. Throughout the whole process, they will fight with wits, manipulate behind the scenes, and control the game from a distance. Fighting and killing are just embellishments on the chess path. "The Man Controls the World" is hidden in the mountains but controls hundreds of years of disputes during the Warring States Period. His disciples all over the world are his chess players, and the princes and emperors are manipulated by him. Hundreds of schools of thought contend to build momentum for his chess game. In the end, he unifies Qin with an invisible hand, but does not retain any credit or fame, becoming the most mysterious "Xuanmen Chess Master" in the history of China.
