Chapter 278 Entering the Chessboard World

There are many elders in Lanke Temple, some are in charge of the Buddhist monastery, and some are in charge of precepts. However, whenever one mentions the elders in this ancient temple, there will always be only one person that the world will immediately think of, and that is Master Qishan.

Master Qishan is the person with the highest seniority in Xuankong Temple and the entire Buddhist sect. He is even half a generation older than the head teacher of Xiling, Xiong Chumo. Except for the master and the master, most people in the world want to be disciples in front of him. gift.

Therefore, the opportunity to get master Qishan's doubts is what practitioners look forward to most, so every time the master comes out, many practitioners, especially those wild practitioners, will flock to Mount Washan.

But this place is a quiet place of Buddhism after all, so from many years ago, Lanke Temple has established a rule that only practitioners who have passed the three-way chess game can finally get the qualification to meet Master Qishan before arriving at Donglu.

However, these rules can restrain ordinary people, but they can't control those top practitioners in the world, such as Ke Haoran who ran up the mountain alone with a sword decades ago, or Guo Yu who just overwhelmed the entire Xiling Temple not long ago.

After Lanke Temple heard the news of his arrival, the abbot, several elders, and Guan Hai, the closed disciple of Master Qishan, all came to the foot of the mountain to greet him in person, and welcomed Guo Yu and his party into the temple with a feeling of trepidation.

The terrain at the top of Washan Mountain is extremely open and gentle, as if the entire mountain was cut off from it. It naturally forms a huge stone flat, on which stands a huge stone statue of Buddha.

However, because the stone statue of Buddha is too tall, the stone surface looks a bit small, just like a tile under the feet of Buddha.

Accompanied by the abbot of Lanke Temple, Guo Yu and his party detoured along the mountain road for a while, and then saw a dilapidated Lumen under the huge left heel of the Buddha statue.

At this time, the autumn is already slanting, and the shadow of the Buddha statue in Washan almost covers the entire foothill of the back mountain. The cave is at the foot of the Buddha statue, and it is extremely quiet, and the green vines between the stone walls seem to have turned into black. thick line.

Master Qishan was standing in front of the door right now, his face looked very old, but he had already put on a thick cotton monk's robe in the beginning of autumn, and he seemed extremely afraid of the cold.

But even wearing such thick clothes, he doesn't look bloated. You can imagine how thin his body is under the monk's clothes, and seeing his mental fatigue, he seems to be sick, or has been sick all the time.

During the floods in the south, Master Qishan spent a lot of effort in his cultivation to save the common people. After contracting a serious illness, he fought against the turbulent waves for a whole night, and his cultivation was almost completely abolished. This disease has lingered with him for decades. Time has not healed yet.

"The master is polite!"

After the two sides approached, Guo Yu bowed his hands solemnly. Although the old monk in front of him had already lost his cultivation, he was the only one who was worthy of the title of True Buddha in the world. A person deserves the respect of all.

Master Qishan politely returned a Buddhist ceremony, then stared at Guo Yu with his old eyes, and said with some doubts and worries: "Sir, today I came to see the old monk for... "

He has been retreating in Donglu for these years, basically seeing no outsiders, and even teaching his closed disciple Guan Haiseng Buddhism on weekdays, it is through the cave.

It was not until today that he heard the news of Guo Yu's visit that he had no choice but to leave the customs, because Guo Yu's reputation in the practice world is really not very good now, and it is not an exaggeration to say that he has a fierce reputation. The catastrophe of that year happened again.

Seeing this, Guo Yu shook his head with a wry smile, saw his concerns, and explained: "Don't worry, Master, I don't have malicious intentions when I come here next time, but to ask for something."

Master Qishan was taken aback, and said: "Sir, please state clearly, if this old monk can do it, I will definitely help you with all my strength."

Guo Yu watched everyone in Lanke Temple look at him curiously, coughed lightly, and said bluntly: "To tell you the truth, Master, I need to enter the Buddha's chessboard world with my real body to think about something. Can I agree?"

Master Qishan first looked at Guo Yu in surprise, then frowned for a moment, then nodded slightly and said, "Okay, the old monk agreed to your request."

After finishing speaking, he gave instructions to the monks of Lanke Temple, and took Guo Yu and others into the cave where he lived behind him, and sat down under the rattan porch. Then he went into the room and took out the chessboard and placed it on Guo Yu. in front of him, and handed him a green pear.

"Thank you, master!" Guo Yu bowed again to Master Qishan, then gently waved his sleeves, a pile of books suddenly appeared in front of him, and said, "These are some Buddhist scriptures that I have read before. Give the gift of thanks to the master."

Master Qishan briefly flipped through these Buddhist classics, his old face suddenly showed a deep shock, and his body trembled slightly, he looked up at Guo Yu in disbelief, and said tremblingly: "These scriptures... "

Seeing this, Guo Yu couldn't help but smile a little, and said, "These scriptures are written by some eminent Buddhist monks in the secluded world, and they may be different from the current Buddhist teachings. If the master is interested, you can study them."

Master Qishan took a deep breath, suppressed the excitement in his heart, bowed to Guo Yu, and said solemnly: "Thank you sir, the old monk has the audacity to accept this gift."

If it was other gifts, Master Qishan might refuse to accept it even if it was precious, but these scriptures are different, they are really too important to Buddhist disciples.

The books that Guo Yu sent were copied from memory on the way here. They are all kinds of Buddhist scriptures he has read in several worlds, and even include some Buddhist practice methods in the world of Jade Immortals.

The reason why he did these things was not only to repay favors, but also to entrain the thought of perfecting Master Qishan. With the help of these classics, perhaps this Buddhist virtuoso can truly embark on his own path to becoming a Buddha.

Seeing Master Qishan carefully move the books into his room with the help of several monks, Guo Yu smiled, turned to look at Cheng Ying behind him, and said softly: "If I return the books within ten days If you haven't come out of the chessboard world, you don't have to wait for me, I will go back by myself after I understand the matter."

Then he said a few words to several apprentices respectively, then picked up the green pear in his hand and bit it lightly. The pear was very sweet, with a lot of juice inside, it melted in his mouth, and he swallowed it completely in two or three bites.

Then facing the chessboard made of unknown materials, his expression was indifferent. With the help of Master Qishan, with the emergence of clear Buddha light, a passage composed of Buddha light appeared in front of him.

Without hesitation, Guo Yu took a step forward slowly, and his body suddenly disappeared in place, officially entering the chessboard world.
