Chapter 4 Juniors

"Amitabha, it turned out to be the grandson of the old friend of the ancestor, so can you ask Tan Shizhu to rest in the side hall with the poor monk, and then arrange it when the poor monk reports to the ancestor?" Zhike monk said.

"The guest is as he pleases, and everything is a monk." The young man knew that today was the day of the people's incense, and many things in the temple needed to be handled by the abbot, so he didn't care, smiled and nodded in response, and then followed the monk to the backyard.

Turn left and right, soon came to a guest room, the monk invited the young man into the house, and called a little monk to entertain, and he took his leave to report to the abbot.

The little monk is not very old, it seems that he is only seven or eight years old at most, although he tries to pretend to be calm and serious, but the childishness on his face cannot be hidden, and it looks very interesting.

"Heh, little monk, is it okay to ask you something?" and others are the most difficult, the young man and the little monk quipped.

"The donor has something to say, please speak." The little monk replied.

"When I entered the mountain gate of Guisi just now, I saw two women outside the door setting up a chess table, and there was a sign of 'Master Teaching' hanging on the tree behind me, I don't know what happened?" The young man asked.

"Oh, the donor is asking about the two women. I know that. "When a child doesn't have a door, when he sees someone asking for advice from him, he feels a little proud in his heart, and he doesn't care if he should tell outsiders about things.

Ten years ago, the national player Tan Ziqiang traveled through Wutai Mountain, and the ancestor gave the third son to play ten games, the two sides were equally divided, which was rated as five products, since then there are often chess players who come to the temple to challenge the ancestors, and the same is true for the two women.

"Oh, it's not uncommon for people who play chess to travel the world in order to pursue chess, improve their strength, and meet friends with chess, but it's unheard of for a weak woman to behave like this, interesting, interesting. And what about later? The young man said with a smile.

"It's funny, it's not your trouble that those two women are looking for." The little monk pursed his lips, probably thinking that the young man was schadenfreude.

"Uh, hehe, little monk, don't get me wrong, I just think the behavior of the two girls' families is very special. Let's go on, did Zen Master Likong accept their challenge? The young man explained with a smile.

"Of course not. If they accepted, why did the two of them do that at the gate of the temple? The little monk glanced at each other, and his eyes looked like idiots.

"Uh, hehe, it makes sense, it makes sense, it seems that I am short-sighted, which makes the little monk smile. Then why didn't the Zen Master play against the woman? The young man was not angry with the white eyes of the little monk, but felt that the little monk was innocent, childish and cute.

"Well," the little monk stopped talking, probably realizing that this issue was an internal secret of Huaguang Temple, so he kept silent.

Looking at the little monk's reaction, he obviously knew something, and the young man was about to test it with words again, but he heard the sound of footsteps outside the door, and it turned out to be the monk who knew that he was back, "Master Tan, the host is invited." The monk said.

"There is Master Lao to guide the way."

The young man got up, the master and servant three followed the guest monk out of the guest room, through the hall around the pavilion, soon after came to the abbot's room, the door looked, there were three monks inside, the middle one was about seventy years old, dressed in a hundred monk's clothes, hanging one hundred and eight rosewood prayer beads around the neck, the face was ruddy, the eyebrows were white as frost, the ruler was long hair fluttering on the chest, the eyes were slightly closed, it seemed to be open, it seemed to be closed, the eyebrows were kind, and the appearance of a virtuous monk was standing, and there were two middle-aged monks standing behind him, with low eyebrows and letters, and he was very humble.

"Abbot, Lord Tan has arrived." The two servants stayed outside the door, and the monk took the young man into the house to report.

The old monk slowly opened his eyes, with a smile on his face, looking the young man up and down, the young man hurriedly took a step forward, folded his hands, and bowed, "Junior Tan Yi greets the senior." ”

The old monk smiled and nodded, and returned the salute with his palms, "Heh, I heard Zhimingyan say that the ancestor of Tan Shi had a relationship with the poor monk, but I don't know the name of Ling Zugao. ”

"Back to the words of the predecessors, the ancestor Tan Ziqiang, listening to his grandfather's words, ten years ago he visited Wutai Mountain, received the warm hospitality of his predecessors, talked about ten games, and the guests and hosts enjoyed themselves, and to this day, I still miss that time very much. The younger generation was ordered by his father, traveled the world, had a long experience, came here yesterday, remembered his grandfather's words, so he came to visit. The young man replied respectfully.

"Oh, it turned out to be Mr. Ziqiang's grandson, hehe, young, a talent, worthy of being a child of the family, okay, okay, come, take a seat." The empty Zen master stroked his beard and said with a smile, and ordered, and immediately a monk moved to the futon and asked Tan Yi to sit down.

"Mr. Ziqiang is a national player in the world, chess is in the second grade, chess skills are strong, when the hand talks about ten games, Lao Na benefited a lot, broke through the bottleneck, and got a glimpse of the boundary of the five products, but it is a pity that Mr. Ziqiang is in the official position, can not stay in Wutai for a long time, I deeply regret it, but I don't know how the health is recently, how is it doing?" After Tan Yi sat down, Zen Master Likong asked with a smile.

"Thanks to the blessing of the predecessors, the ancestor has always been strong, although he is over sixty years old, he is still deaf and clear-sighted, strong and healthy, and he gets up every morning to practice boxing, and ordinary three or five strong men can't get close to the three feet next to his old man." Tan Yi replied.

"Hehe, when I talked with your grandfather in Huaguang Temple, from him, I comprehended the profoundness of chess, broke through the bottleneck, and entered the list of five products, as a return gift, I gave the King Kong Fuhu Boxing boxing score, originally just a gift exchange, I wanted him to strengthen his body and bones, I didn't expect him to be diligent in practice, and he could learn something after the year. In contrast, since then, my chess skills have stagnated, and it took me ten years to stop at the realm of five pins without making any progress, which is really ashamed. The empty Zen master sighed - he began to learn boxing at the age of fifty, and at the age of sixty, he was able to fight three strong men alone without defeat, and such an achievement can be said to be quite difficult for ordinary people.

"Oh, when I was in the living room, I listened to Xiao Shami's words, the seniors within a radius of fifty miles are the first people, and there are often famous masters from all over the world who come to ask for advice, and the so-called fame is not a vain person, and the seniors are too humble." Tan Yi said with a smile.

"Hehe, ashamed, ashamed, the way of the game, the mystery is endless, where do the poor monks dare to call themselves masters. If it is said that ten years ago, it was also full of confidence in the county, thinking that chess to the realm, the world is difficult to meet opponents, until you have to meet Ling Zu, ten games after the end of the party to know that there are people outside, there is a sky outside the sky, my chess power, at best, is only a third-rate level, it is difficult to enter the eyes of high hands. What is the number one master within a radius of fifty miles, hehe, it's just a false name, it can't be true, it can't be true. Zen Master Likong smiled, although his mouth was modest, the expression on his face was obviously very enjoyable.
