When he became conscious again, he was surprised to find that he was lying in a carriage, the wheels of the carriage under him creaked, the carriage shook up and down, and the road was quite uneven, and he thought: "The car is so bumpy, I want to leave Lin'an and go to the countryside, where is this going?"

The carriage crossed a ditch and jerked, shaking Bai Yixue's mind with a sudden flash: "Yes, yes, I must be seriously injured and there is no cure, they are going to send me back to the Snow Mountain Suihan Villa, so that I can meet my teacher for the last time." Hehe, how many people can survive after being hit by the Blood Transformation Divine Knife?" Thinking of this, I couldn't help but be discouraged, and my heart was sad.

Suddenly, I heard a person shouting: "You drive carefully, if you break the uncle in the car, be careful that I take your dog's life." ”

The coachman said timidly, "Yes, yes!" His hands tightened his grip, and the speed of the carriage slowed down.

Bai Yixue listened, but she was surprised and delighted, the person who spoke was Mo Ling, and thought: "Sister Ling is going to accompany me to see the master, so that my master and apprentice can see each other for the last time, alas, it seems that my illness, even the imperial doctor of Ouchi, is powerless." In addition to all the thoughts, thinking that along the way, Mo Lingsha would always be by his side, he finally felt a little relieved. When he was thinking wildly, he suddenly heard Mo Lingsha shouting sharply: "You are so slow to catch the car, when will we be able to get to Baoshan?"

The coachman was in a dilemma, and he was very anxious, and said in a loud voice: "Yes, yes!" He raised his whip and urged the horse to gallop again.

Bai Yixue was surprised: "Isn't it going to Snow Mountain? What is that place?" When she was confused, she heard Ning'er say: "Miss, don't be too anxious, we are in such a hurry, it won't take long to reach Baoshan." ”

Mo Lingsha said "um", was silent, and after a while, said: "Master, your friends will not go out to travel, not in the temple, we ...... Let's go for nothing?"

An old voice said: "This friend of the old man has always been traced, and it is unknown if he is not in Taining Temple at this time." However, if the white donor is kind and good-hearted, he will get good results, and he will not be relieved. ”

Bai Yixue heard that the person was Lotus Pond, and couldn't help but be happy in her heart: "It turns out that Master Lotus Pond is still alive." Then he was shocked again: "Master Lianchi's breath is weak, obviously he has suffered extremely serious internal injuries, and it is difficult to recover for a while. Then he thought, "Listening to their tone, it seems that they want to take me to Taining Temple to find someone who can heal my internal injuries for me." "Thinking that Master Lianchi is a high-ranking monk in the world, and this friend of his, who must also be an ordinary person, may be able to heal the wound of the Blood Transformation Divine Sword, he felt great relief when he thought of this.

Mo Lingsha listened to Lianchi's words, and his heart was a little settled, but when he saw that his face was pale and his eyes were closed, he couldn't help but feel worried again, and asked, "Master, how does your body feel?"

Lianchi opened his eyes and smiled: "Don't worry, the old man's body is not a pity, let's hurry as soon as possible." ”

Mo Ling braked and said: "The master is seriously injured, and he also consumes his internal strength, and he helps him heal with 'Juezhao Yang Ronggong', I ...... I really don't know how to thank the master. At the end, his voice was choked. The white-clothed Xue Xin said: "It turns out that the one who healed me is the Lotus Pond Master. I heard from the master that if you are hit by the Blood Transformation Divine Knife, if you can't be healed in time, the cold qi will take root and solidify in your body, and within 72 hours, your blood will definitely coagulate and die. I have been able to support it until now, all thanks to Master Lotus Chi using his strong internal strength to fight against the yin poison of the Blood Transformation Divine Sword in his body. ”

Lianchi smiled slightly, closed his eyes and recuperated. Mo Lingsha didn't dare to disturb, huddled in a corner of the car alone, supported by his hands, staring at the white-clothed snow with his eyes unblinking, alone in a daze.

The horse's hooves are clattering, and the starry night is the road, but fortunately, there is nothing to say all the way. In the early morning of this day, in a cold haze, the group finally arrived at Lianwu Mountain. At that time, the heavy snow was at the beginning of the day, and the Foggy Mountains were covered with snow, and the thousands of peaks were lost in green, and thousands of trees were stiff. The mountain road became more and more rugged, Mo Lingsha and Ning'er got out of the carriage and walked through the snow.

After walking for more than an hour, I heard the sound of the bell chime of Qingyue, which came from Taining Temple in the distance. The empty mountain was silent, the Sanskrit sound was in his ears, and Mo Lingsha was anxious along the way, but at this time, he calmed down a little.

Mo Lingsha originally only said that Taining Temple was a magnificent temple, and when he came to the temple, the ancient temple only had a few rafters of the old hall, almost abandoned, and he couldn't help but be disappointed, and muttered in his heart: "The lotus pond said that the temple master here is a master outside the party, and the legal name is 'a catastrophe', how can the temple be so shabby?"

The coachman helped the lotus pond to get out of the carriage, he stood outside the temple gate, silently wished for a moment in his heart, and stretched out his hand to knock on the temple door. After a while, the temple door slowly opened, and a small novice walked out. Before Lianchi could ask each other, Mo Lingsha shouted, "Hey, little monk, is your abbot at home?"

When Xiao Shami saw her snowy skin, he was stunned for a moment, but when he heard her tone stiff, he immediately said angrily: "I don't know why the female benefactor is here? Why is the quiet place of Buddhism so noisy?"

Mo Lingsha saw that he was not very old, but he looked old-fashioned when he spoke, he couldn't help but be angry and funny, and was about to say a few words, when Lianchi trembled and walked up two steps and said, "Is it Tusheng?"

The little novice was Tusheng, and he recognized it as Zen Master Lotus Pond, and hurriedly stepped forward to give a salute. Lianchi replied, "Is the abbot elder in the temple?"

Tu Sheng replied respectfully: "The Zen master came by coincidence, and the abbot elder returned from a trip the day before yesterday. ”

Lotus Chi took a long breath, his expression that had been tense suddenly eased, and a smile appeared on his face, and he said: "Very good, please go and tell the abbot elder, just say that the old man is visiting, and there is something important to ask for." Mo Lingsha heard it clearly on the side, his heart stirred, and he thought secretly: "Dulang is saved." ”

Tusheng replied, "Yes." He led everyone into the temple and went straight to the guest hall. The monastery was silent, and the courtyard was covered with fallen leaves, rustling with feet on it.

When I came to the guest hall, there was a couplet outside the guest hall, the upper couplet said "The mountains are verdant and the monks are admitted to the hospital", and the lower couplet is "Songsheng Jingya and the guest talk about Xuan".

Tusheng served tea to the guests, and everyone entered the guest hall to rest. After Tu Sheng served tea, he went inside to report. Mo Lingsha took a sip of tea, but felt that it was unusually bitter, and it was really difficult to swallow.

After a long time, there has never been a catastrophe to come out, Mo Lingsha is respected as the current princess Her Royal Highness, who is used to directing the wind on weekdays, where has he been so neglected, he can't help but feel angry in his heart: "An old monk with a broken temple is really a big shelf." Just as he was about to shout loudly, he squinted and caught a glimpse of Master Lotus Chi sitting precariously with a respectful expression, and he didn't dare to make a mistake for a while.

She was restless, when she heard the sound of footsteps outside the hall, an old monk in a gray robe proclaimed the Buddha's name, stepped in, and said: "Everyone has come from afar, and you have come to our temple, and the mountain monk has lost welcome, sin, sin!" It was the abbot of Taining Temple who had arrived.

Lianchi and the others stood up one after another to salute, only Mo Lingsha nodded slightly to show that he returned the salute. Lianchi smiled and said: "The elder pushes the bright moon in the middle of the window, lies on a bed and breezes, and is really comfortable in this Shaolong Sanbao!

The eyes of a catastrophe swept over the faces of Mo Lingsha, Ning'er, and Duanmu Kemi, who escorted all the way, and said: "I haven't met for a long time, I want to come to the Zen master's chess skills and improve, it is not what it used to be, if it is convenient, you and I will talk about a game, I don't know if you are willing to give advice?"

Lianchi thought to himself that he was obsessed with Go, and he was very addicted to chess, and he was about to ask him for something when he visited him this time, so he opened his mouth to invite him to play a game of chess, how could he not comply? How happy it is for old friends to reunite after a long absence, and to sit opposite each other? It's just that the old man has not been in battle for a long time, and his chess skills are unfamiliar, and he hopes that the elders will show mercy to their subordinates. ”

Seeing that he readily agreed, the light in his eyes flashed, and he smiled: "It's easy to say, it's easy to say." The little novice was in the living room, setting up a pair of catalpa chessboards and two futons.

The lotus pond and a catastrophe sit facing each other. Lianchi smiled: "Since it is a game, if there is no gambling capital, it seems to be less interesting." ”

Yiqi was lowering his head to sort out the chess sets, and when he heard this, he couldn't help but look up at the lotus pond, then lowered his head again, and said lightly: "Listen to the respect." I secretly thought in my heart: "Lotus Pond is playing against me, losing more and winning less, this time I took the initiative to bet on chess, could it be that my chess skills have risen sharply recently, and I have no fear?"

Lianchi said with a smile: "In ancient times, Yang Xuanbao used Go as a tool to play against Emperor Wu Liu Yu and won the position of Xuanzhou County Guard, which is a good story. It's just that you and I are both monks, except for a bottle and a bowl, and we have no long things, so how can we bet? Don't hide it from the elders, the old man has taken the liberty to come this time, and he really has something important to ask for. In this way, you and I will make a bet on this, and if the old man can win by luck, I beg the elders to be favorable. ”

Yiqi secretly thought to himself: "The lotus pond has always been idle and wild, and rarely asks for people, since he said so, it must be very tricky to ask for something." He was originally a son of a rich family in Huiji, and when he was in his forties, he was destined for a tree, and one day he scattered all his wealth and left his family, and since then he has cut off the dust and escaped in the empty door.

After a catastrophe, he was shaved as a monk, and everything did not linger in his heart, and all the false names were seen very lightly, but the victory or defeat on the tattoo was his "death hole", which was very important. He knew that the matter entrusted by the other party was bound to be tricky, and when he heard the words, he couldn't help but feel a nameless fire in his heart, and said in a rough voice: "What if the mountain monk is lucky enough to win a son and a half eyes?

Seeing that he was already angry, and when he started playing chess for a while, he was inevitably impetuous, and he was secretly proud in his heart, but his face was silent, and he said: "The old man is willing to gamble and lose, I don't know what the old man has on his body, can he enter the elder's eyes?"

Yiqi said: "Your most precious thing is the self-created unique 'Juezhao Yang Ronggong' internal strength method, I will ask for it, see if you are willing to give it up?" said: "If the mountain monk is lucky to win the Zen master, I don't know if he can borrow the "Juezhao Yang Ronggong Mental Method" to take a look?" He stared at the lotus pond with blazing eyes, thinking that he must categorically refuse, but the lotus pond's face was as usual, and he smiled faintly, and said: "Excellent, excellent." If the old man loses to the elders, please take the "Juezhao Yang Ronggong Heart Method", and it will not hurt to return it to the old man in a year and a half. ”

He was taken aback when he heard this, he knew that Lianchi took the book "Juezhao Yang Rong Gong Mental Method" very seriously, and he was willing to take it out so easily as a bet today, either because his chess skills have improved by leaps and bounds recently, with a hands-on attitude, and he consciously won the game; or what he asked for was not trivial, and once he agreed, it would definitely take a lot of trouble to operate. But in front of everyone's eyes, how could the two of them repent, and if they had sworn in advance? He changed his mind and said with a smile: "Okay, a word is a certainty." The mountain monk's teeth have increased, and his brain is becoming more and more dull, which is not as good as before, and the Zen master is as he pleases, spare my second son, how about it?"

Lianchi was stunned for a moment, and thought to himself: "You will be clever and casual, how can I be easily fooled?" Shaking his head slightly, he said: "No, no! The old man is a guest from afar, and the elder is like this, how can he be hospitable? The elder should let the old man and his second son." ”

With a twist of his eyes, he said with a smile: "Then the Zen master let go first, how about it?" pondered: "Since you refuse to give in, it must not be that your chess skills have been greatly improved, but that the things you want are very difficult to do, and you don't want to fall into the hands easily." Thinking of this section, the melancholy mood suddenly turned to relaxation, and an imperceptible smile appeared on his face.

Lianchi waved his hand and said, "It's not proper, it's inappropriate, it's very inappropriate." I think that in the Jiangxin Temple, where the elders were stationed in Xi, although the elders were skilled, they also played a few games with the elders every day, so how could he ever be a little lazy? Today, the elders came from afar and ascended to the treasure temple for the first time, and the elders scrambled to be the first in every place, and they did not fall behind, so they really didn't know what the reason was? Aren't the elders afraid of the truth of bullying people?

The old man's face turned slightly red, and he immediately laughed and said, "Flat, flat!" is the fairest. Regardless of whether the lotus pond agrees or not, two black and white chess pieces are placed on the stars at the four corners of the chessboard. His skills were unbearable, and he didn't bother to think about what the lotus pond came from for a while, he just wanted to kill it first and then pay attention to it.

Mo Lingsha wanted to get straight to the point, and as soon as they met, they had to explain their intentions, but unexpectedly, after the two monks exchanged words, they exchanged words on the scale. Mo Lingsha was anxious, coughing lightly a few times, but the lotus pond was unaware, and the catastrophe was also deaf, and the two monks only buried their heads in the chess game in front of them.

Mo Lingsha reminded him several times, but it didn't work, and he thought that the lotus pond's move should have a deep meaning and was inconvenient to disturb, so he sat down honestly. She never thought that the two monks had not played against each other for a long time, this time they met, they were cautious in chess, this sitting was more than an hour, and the two monks frequently took long exams, and only played a few more than ten hands in total.

She was anxious and uneasy, the two monks competed in a corner of the chessboard, the two sides fell like flying, and played more than 20 hands in an instant, Mo Lingsha's heart turned from worry to joy: "In this way, within half an hour, the winner can be distinguished." Unexpectedly, the two monks reverted to their old state, and frequently took the test for a long time, but they had a sad face, shaking their bodies, sighing in their mouths, chanting words, as if the situation was bad, and they would vote at any time, but their hearts were unwilling, and they were hard to support, and the lotus pond sat upright like a stone Buddha, with a blank expression, not happy or angry, and from his face, he could not see the good or bad of the situation at all.

Mo Lingsha didn't understand Go, and when he saw the attitude of the two monks, he couldn't help frowning slightly, and scolded secretly: "The two old monks don't do serious things, but they only care about playing chess and having fun, which is really angry." Several impulses in my heart, I wanted to step forward and kick over the chessboard, but then I thought again, after all, I had to ask for someone, and finally endured it.

She was bored, sat for most of the hour, and the second monk only played four or five more chess, estimating that it was too early for the chess game to end, and Bai Yixue often fell into delirium all the way, Mo Lingsha was worried in his heart, so he stood up and walked out of the guest hall.

Outside the guest hall is quiet, the pine and cypress in the temple are towering to the sky, the walls are mottled, the scriptures engraved in the stone scriptures have long been diffuse, the Sanskrit sound in the ears is curling, the environment is very simple and quiet, so that most of the vulgar thoughts have been eliminated, and Mo Lingsha's irritable mood has calmed down a lot. She took a long breath and thought to herself: "Two stinky monks played a broken chess game, but fortunately they were not serious, they really me off." ”

She walked along the path in the temple, the steps were full of moss, the dead leaves were full of paths, and the soles of her feet were soft when she stepped on them, as if she was not strong. When I came to the car, I opened the curtain and saw that Bai Yixue was sleeping deeply, and reached out to the end of his nose.

After sitting quietly beside Bai Yixue for about half an hour, Mo Lingsha thought that the chess game of the two monks should come to an end, so he returned to the guest hall. As soon as he stepped into the guest hall, he couldn't help but cry out in distress, and the two monks sat facing each other, playing with all their hearts, and even the posture seemed to be the same as when they left before.

Ning'er had been quietly watching the battle, seeing that Mo Lingsha looked impatient, sitting on the chair like a pins and needles, she stepped forward and whispered: "Eldest Lady Shao'an is not impatient, they are already in the end, and the chess game will be over soon." ”

Mo Lingsha glanced at her and pursed her mouth, looking very annoyed. She looked at the two monks intently, but the scene in front of her frightened her: it turned out that in the game, Lianchi picked up the teacup beside her and put it between her lips, as if she had taken a sip of tea, and when she put it back, the tea was red, and it turned into blood! She thought about it for a while, and immediately understood that Lianchi had already been seriously injured, and the injury had recurred, and a stream of blood in the abdominal cavity suddenly poured into his throat.

Mo Lingsha's resentment instantly turned into nothing, and he said in a trembling voice: "Big ...... Master ......" instantly filled his eyes with tears.

Lianchi raised his head, smiled at her, and quickly picked up a white child, "click", and gently fell into the chessboard, causing the opposite side to can't help but make a soft "huh". It turns out that a catastrophe of chess has always been light and elegant, pay attention to the strength of each child, often in the game of magic and ghost hands, and the lotus pond is just the opposite, the style of chess is thick and calm, the chess pay attention to the play of thick potential, in the move can not help but seem a little slow, but this hand lotus pond does not think twice, the fall is like flying, forced in the black chess air of a catastrophe, and his usual dignified chess style is incompatible.

Yiqi buried his head lower, the tip of his nose almost touched the chessboard, and he thought hard about the white child who was surrounded by a sunspot: "The lotus pond has always been steady, and the board is not falling at this time, he put a solitary seed in here without thinking, could it be that there is a hidden means that I don't know?"

He thought about it for half an hour, and finally made up his mind: "Lianchi didn't want to think about it, so he made this move, it must be hidden tesudate, I must not be fooled by him." "Picked up a sunspot, raised his arm high, held it in the air, and after a long time, he put down his arm and landed the sunspot on the chessboard, but it was not a straight attack, but a solitary seed in the lotus pond.

There was an imperceptible smile in Lianchi's eyes, and he immediately picked up a white seed and cured himself in the black air. The grappling in this place, the style is very different from the two monks' ordinary chess, the lotus pond chess footwork is light and smart, the body shape is erviant, broken, touched, clamped, topped, crossed, sharp...... All kinds of tesufers emerge in endlessly, moving around, and the agility is abnormal, but the catastrophe is step by step, steady and steady. After dozens of hands, Lianchi won the robbery and successfully cured the orphan, and the white chess was no more and no less in the surging black momentum, just with two eyes.

On the third pole of the sun, the warm sunlight shone into the room, casting the shadows of the two monks on the wall, and the two of them buried themselves in a fierce battle. Towards the end of the game, Lianchi picked up a white disc and attacked a black piece that had not yet been lived. At this point in the chess game, the situation of the black chess has been very bad, after the lotus pond fell this white hand, he thought for a long time, and ignored his own lonely chess has not yet been clean, and took off the first in the thick wall of the white chess stabbing a hand, intending to disrupt the game. This is also the last winner he released in desperation.

A hint of surprise flashed in Lianchi's eyes, but it was fleeting, and he pondered for a moment, not to break his eyes, but to honestly make up for his own strength, and let go of white chess as a way out. After more than ten more games, black won without making trouble, always operated safely, and firmly transformed the advantage into victory. Seeing that there was no hope of turning the tables, he had to throw himself into a fool's errand, and said: "The Zen master is one chess high, and the mountain monk admires and admires." Mo Lingsha and the others were overjoyed when they saw that he finally pushed the table and admitted his defeat.

Lotus Pond was full of tiredness, looking extremely tired, and said, "The old man was lucky to win, ashamed, ashamed. ”
