Chapter 352: Venerable Chess, Proverbs Guiding the Way
On this hill, in the elegant and delicate bamboo building, two monks played against each other, while the other two lower-ranking monks held the Buddha rituals and stood aside, silent, not knowing what was waiting for.
Venerable Jueyuan can keep his state of mind, as a monk in the Arhat realm, he has been practicing for many years, and he is able to endure loneliness. Needless to say, he waited here for a while, even if it was three days and three nights of meditation, he was not ambiguous.
Moreover, Venerable Jueyuan's gaze fell on the chess game, and then looked at the dust that was pestled to the side like a piece of wood, but he couldn't help but show a smile in his eyes.
Although watching chess here is boring, it is not all for nothing, but I don't know if this little guy can perceive the mystery of this chess game.
On the side, Lichen wanted to cry without tears, since the two of them entered the bamboo building, the chess game between the two masters did not know how many changes had gone through back and forth, but there was no end to it.
Seeing the unpredictable black and white two sons on the chessboard, Lichen's eyes were full of confusion, perhaps in the eyes of those chess saints, the strangeness in this chess game is quite mysterious, but whether it is the dust before the crossing, or Chen Liang after the crossing, they don't know anything about this way.
Therefore, seeing the unpredictable chessboard, although Lichen is not drowsy, the whole person is obviously a lot sluggish.
However, at this moment, he sensed a sense of vibration, which seemed to echo in his soul, setting off waves in his sea of consciousness.
Looking inwardly at the spiritual platform, there were indeed waves in the sea of knowledge, and an invisible force shook his soul, as if it wanted to remind him of something.
Lichen's face froze slightly, and his expression was obviously much more solemn. He had already sensed that the invisible power was not manifested out of thin air, but came from the ancient scroll suspended above the sky in the sea of his spiritual platform.
The ancient scriptures that radiated the light of divine power only had a change in the illusionary realm, and since he walked out of it, this ancient scripture seemed to have fallen silent, and it never revealed any miracles.
However, at this time, an invisible concussive force rippled from the ancient scroll, waking him up from the chaos, as if to remind him not to miss the opportunity, what can alarm this ancient book obviously cannot be mortal.
Lichen suddenly returned to consciousness, and once again looked at the chessboard suspended between the two monks, his eyes were already much more solemn.
Slightly separated from the corner of his eyes, looking at Uncle Jueyuan who was standing next to him, but he accidentally saw the light in Uncle Jueyuan's eyes that seemed to be smiling but not smiling, as if he noticed the dust looking, and the long-bearded Venerable even glanced at him slightly.
Receiving the hints from his uncle, coupled with the changes in the ancient scriptures in the sea of knowledge, Lichen's eyes were already extremely focused. Obviously, Uncle Shi also sensed the magic contained in this chessboard, otherwise he would not have reminded him so much.
And the two Zen masters have not spoken since the two of them stepped into this bamboo building, but they are just holding a game against each other, and with the characters of these two Venerables, it is inevitably too abnormal.
Observing the volley suspended chess game again, Lichen had already integrated all his mind into it this time, although the changes of the black and white sons were still quite strange, but gradually he saw some rather strange doorways from it.
Although there was a fall in the hand of the abbot Zen master, but there was no half of the chess piece in the huge square circle in front of him, such a strange appearance, even the dust who did not know the way of chess also noticed the abnormality.
Lichen's complexion changed slightly, looking at this chess game, he seemed to be slightly familiar, as if he had seen it somewhere before, but that wisp of familiarity was so ethereal that he couldn't grasp it for a long time.
However, at this moment, Master Kongyan raised his hand to absorb the chess pieces from the chess cup, and when Venerable Jueyuan heard the prestige, he saw that the chess pieces in the hands of the old Venerable had been exhausted.
Without his reminder, Lichen also noticed the empty chessboard. Only then did he remember that although the two Venerables were playing chess, they had always been holding on to the chess, and they had never seen each other, and the two of them had taken defeat from this chessboard, which was too strange for a chess game.
Where did all the chess pieces that His Holiness had fallen? Could it be that he could not be swallowed by this chessboard?
Seeing that the chess pieces in Master Kongyan's hand had been exhausted, the abbot Zen master who was doing the opposite showed a smile, raised his hand and took out a white piece from the chess cup, although he did not speak, but obviously this was also the last chess piece in his hand.
Master Kongyan shook his head slightly, and folded his hands to bow to the abbot Zen Master in front of him, the deep wrinkles had completely covered his eyes, making it difficult to see what deep meaning was in those cloudy old eyes.
Seeing this scene, Jueyuan seemed to understand something, looked at the last chess piece in the abbot's Zen master's hand, and then looked at the dust that was tightly browed, as if he was thinking about it, and couldn't help but sigh slightly.
Obviously, this game is coming to an end, and it seems that the dust still has nothing to do with it.
However, in his meditative thoughts, Lichen didn't notice the change in the expressions of several masters, his eyes seemed to only have the chessboard suspended in the air, and even the appearance of the three Venerables seemed to have dispersed in his eyes, only the black and white two sons in the chess game stirred up the world.
In the sea of knowledge of the dust, the ancient scrolls of the scriptures suspended in the air seemed to be affected by the thoughts of the dust, and the tightly sealed scrolls seemed to open a gap slightly, and a deeper golden light seeped out of it, and a line of Sanskrit slowly manifested, becoming clearer and clearer, and more and more crystal clear.
[Buddha views a bowl of water, 84,000 insects, if you don't hold this mantra, it is like eating the flesh of all living beings. 】
When this line of proverbs manifested from it, it was as if a burst of invisible mana rippled out of it, and in an instant, it swept through the golden ocean in the sea of dust.
Lichen's body suddenly stiffened, and when the invisible mana swept through the sea of his consciousness, he felt a little in his heart, although he didn't really comprehend it too much, but at that moment, his soul seemed to be purified, and everything in front of him became clearer and clearer.
If he had looked at the sea at this moment, he would have been able to find that the ocean that had originally emitted golden light seemed to fade away at this moment, but the whole ocean seemed to be so crystal clear.
It's as if the dust has faded and been reborn.
Looking at the chessboard again, Lichen felt that the fog that had been shrouded in front of him all this time seemed to be blown away by an invisible divine power, and the unpredictable black and white two sons were getting slower and slower in his eyes, as if they had also derived a real trajectory.
It was as if in the midst of a misty mountain path, an immortal raised his hand and pointed out a path to the Mystic Law.
