As he was talking, there was the sound of footsteps outside the door, and a middle-aged monk came to the abbot's room, with his head drooping, his face calm, his shoulders hunched, his back hunched, and he looked like a defeated rooster.

Seeing the appearance of this monk, the eyebrows of the Zen Master moved in the sky, and the look of surprise on his face flashed, "Zhiguang, aren't you also successful?" He asked in a deep voice.

"The disciple is incompetent, please punish the master." The monk named Zhiguang replied in shame.

"Amitabha, victory and defeat are common, even if you do your best, how can I blame you. Go down and rest. "Singing the Buddha's name, the empty Zen master sighed lightly, and ordered the middle-aged monk to leave, and the middle-aged monk put his hands together to give a salute, and then dragged his heavy steps out of the abbot's room, and his back looked very depressed.

Dare to ask the seniors, what does the so-called victory and defeat refer to? Is it related to the woman who played chess in front of the temple? Tan Yi's heart moved, and he hurriedly asked.

was asked by Tan Yi, Rao is empty Zen master has practiced for many years, and the Dharma is profound, but his face is slightly stagnant, showing a little embarrassment, but this expression is only a flash, if it is not for Tan Yi's careful observation, it may be difficult to find.

"Hehe, so you've seen the woman outside the temple gate?" Monks don't talk about it, and those who are monks can shut up and be dumb, but they can never lie and deceive people, and the empty Zen master smiled, and quickly returned to the sanctimonious appearance just now.

"Yes. But I don't know what the woman came from, why did she dare to set up a stall in front of the mountain gate? Tan Yi nodded and replied - that kind of pomp, except for the blind, who would not see it?

"Alas. If only I knew. "The empty Zen master sighed lightly, "Three days ago, the woman came to the temple, claiming to be the distant niece of Li Feixiong, the owner of Xinglong Silk Village in the east of Wutai County, that Li Feixiong is also a very famous Yilin master, nine wins in ten battles, rare enemies, the year before last Wutai County County Commander's father died, the poor monk went down the mountain to preside over the ceremony, after the ceremony, and Li Feixiong played six games, four wins and two losses, a slight advantage, the so-called Wutai first master's false name, is obtained at that time. The woman had come to Wutai County not long ago to visit relatives, and when she heard about this, she was not convinced, so she came to invite me to fight. The poor monk is a person who has turned into an outsider, and he has long looked down on the false name, and the other party is a young woman, how can he be willing to care about it, so he persuaded him to leave, but he expected that the woman was very stubborn, and the invitation to fight could not be successful, so he set up a chess game outside the temple gate, sat quietly and waited every day, and forced me to fight with one. The poor monk did not care, but the people in the temple were dissatisfied, several disciples went out to fight, who knew that although the woman was a weak female stream, the chess skills were very wonderful, the temple went out to fight with the disciples, no one was its opponent, not to mention that there was a chance to win, and even no one could support a hundred moves. The Zhiguang you just saw is the four disciples of the poor monk, who has been practicing with the poor monk for more than 20 years, and has the true biography of the poor monk, and only then did he learn that the woman came to the temple to invite the battle, and he was angry for a while, regardless of the persuasion of the poor monk, and went out to fight with him, but he didn't expect it, alas, "A long sigh, a trace of helplessness appeared on the face of the empty Zen master

I didn't expect it, I didn't think of anything? Isn't it that his most proud disciple was actually defeated by that woman? After more than 20 years of practice, he has done his best, in other words, the strength of the monk Zhiguang should be almost the same as that of the empty Zen master, since Zhiguang was defeated by that woman, the empty Zen master may not be sure of victory, right? Huaguang Temple has returned from all the masters below the empty Zen master, and the woman is still aggressive, refusing to accept it when she sees it, and if it goes on like this, the empty Zen master probably can't make a move - he must shoot, but he has no confidence to win, known as the first master in Wutai County, if he is defeated by a young woman, even if he has already seen through the red dust, he doesn't care about the world's fame and fortune, and he is afraid that he can't get over it, right?

Anyway, who let himself run into it, the friendship of the ancestors, he met and didn't help, after going back, if he was known by his grandfather, wouldn't he be scolded and scolded for not understanding the world?

Thinking of this, Tan Yi smiled slightly, "Heh, seniors don't have to worry about such trivial matters, juniors would like to meet that woman for a while and see how capable she is." “

"Oh? Would you like to go to the woman? Listening to Tan Yi take the initiative to ask for help, the eyes of the empty Zen master are lit up - although Tan Yi is not very old, he is still a weak-crowned boy, but the children of the family, the family history, his ancestor Tan Ziqiang chess is in the second grade, and the chess power is unfathomable.

"In front of the seniors, how dare you make a mistake, and ask the seniors to assign a master to lead the way, and the juniors will go to meet the woman." Tan Yi replied respectfully.

"Hehe, okay, good, then there is Lao Gongzi. Zhiming, take Tan Gongzi to meet the woman. He was in a good mood and immediately instructed the monk who had brought Tan Yi to the abbot's room.

"Yes, host." Together, the monk Zhiming took Tan Yi out of the abbot's room and walked towards the temple gate, Tan Yi's two entourages heard the things inside clearly outside the door, and learned that Tan Yi was going to fight against the woman, the young face was excited, and he wished there was a lively scene, although the older one felt that the young master was a little nosy, and he was looking for troubles, but the words had been spoken, and he couldn't take it back, so he could only follow behind, thinking in his heart, and finding an opportunity to persuade the young master when he rested at night.

At this time, it is already three poles on the sun, and there are many more pilgrims who worship the Buddha than Fangcai, and the crowds are crowded, the sound is noisy, and it is more lively than the county and city market.

Out of the door, the chess stall is still there, the woman in white is sitting safely, the maid is holding a cup of tea, the woman takes the teacup with one hand, lifts the veil with the other hand and sipps gently, the action is extremely elegant, when the tulle rises and falls, but the lips are red and white, the skin is delicate, and the blow is broken.

Monk Zhiming walked towards the chess stall, Tan Yi and two entourages followed, pilgrims, and vendors soliciting business outside the temple gate saw that the monk came out of the temple again, knowing that it was for the woman who set up the stall, and they all came over to see the excitement.

How could the woman not notice such a big movement? When I looked up, I saw a monk coming with a few people, handing the teacup back to the maid, and sitting there quietly, waiting to see what the other party was going to do.

"This female benefactor, the poor monk is polite." Monk Zhiming clasped his palms together on his chest, bowed down and bowed, and the number of salutes was not sloppy at all.
