After seeing off Chen Ming, Xin Ran went back to Shaolin Temple. When he arrived at the mountain gate, he saw the Zhike monk waiting. When Xin Ran came to him, he put his hands together and said, "Amitabha, benefactor Xin, I've been ordered by the abbot. I'm waiting for you to go there with me. "
" what's the matter with master Abbot Xinran listened to Zhike monk and asked.
The Zhike monk said, "I'm just ordered to take you to the abbot. I don't know anything else. When you arrive, please ask yourself. "
so they went to the Abbot's room, led by the Zhike monk.
When Xin Ran came to the Abbot's room, he saw the master and master Miaowu sitting in the room. When Xin Ran came in, he asked him to sit down.
Miaowu Chan Master then said to Xin Ran, "Amitabha, young master Xin, I want you to come here today to tell you about the Dragon stick."
"Master abbot, please give me your advice. I'm all ears." Xin Ran said to master Miaowu.
Master Miaowu said, "I've told you all about the Qiulong stick. It's really treasured in our temple. But when Taizu handed it over to our temple, he once said: this person must be able to pass the three examinations set up by Shaolin before he could hand it over to you."
”I don't know what the three examinations are? "Asked Xin Ran.
Master Miao Wuchan said: "when Xin Ran took a look at this assessment, he saw that the left side of the array seemed to be a little loose in defense. He was lucky and went straight to the two monks on the left side to stab them. He knew that just after entering the array, he saw the array shaking, and the two monks suddenly disappeared. At the same time, two groups of monks came straight from behind with sticks.
Xin Ran was shocked and thought: this array is really not simple.
Xin Ran turns around in a hurry, wields the sword and uses the four ways in the three unique swords to protect the dragon. He guards his whole body and shakes away his stick with his internal force. Looking at this array again, it is quite different from before. The monks dance their sticks around Xinran in turn. Xinran feels that there are stick shadows all over his body, like a boat rolling up and down in the waves of the sea.
After all, Xinran had extraordinary skills. After a while of confusion, he suddenly remembered that master once said that any kind of array has an array eye. As long as the array eye is broken, the array will naturally break itself.
After careful observation, it seems that a group of monks in the southwest corner of the formation has not moved, while the other groups are all around this group. Xin Ran estimated that this place should be the eye of the formation, so he pretended to attack a group of monks in the northwest corner, and then suddenly waved his sword straight to the group of monks in the southwest corner. Sure enough, the monks saw Xin Ran attacking the group of monks in the southwest, and had a good array In the southwest corner of Xinran, when the group of monks resisted their swords with sticks, they suddenly used their left hand to point the acupoints through the empty space and fell to the ground.
In this way, the eye of the array was broken. For a moment, there was no command in the array, and Xin Ran took the opportunity to break the array.
At this time, Xin Ran found that he was covered with sweat. When master miaokong saw that Xin Ran had broken the array, he said: "Master Xin has not only excellent martial arts, but also profound wisdom. I really admire him for being able to see the eye of the array."
Xin Ran said in a hurry: "thanks to the care of the old Zen master, I can get away with it."
”Now that the first level has been broken, Master Xin will follow the Zhike monk to the back for the second test. "Miaokong said to Xinran.
Xin Ran said goodbye to master miaokong, and then the Zhike monk took him to the Sutra Pavilion behind.
On the second floor of the Sutra Pavilion, there is a table in the middle of the second floor, on which there is a game of go, which has been played several times. On the top of the table sits an old monk with white hair and beard. The Zhike monk introduces that this is the Sutra pavilion's selfless master.
After listening to the introduction of Zhike monk, Xinran hurriedly went forward and said, "I've met master Wui. "
" you're welcome, benefactor. I've been waiting for benefactor for a long time under the order of the abbot. Please see, this chess game is a remnant of ancient times. I'm a chess maniac. I haven't known how to get rid of the siege of sunspots after decades of research. I heard that benefactor Xin has both wisdom and courage. Please help me solve this puzzle today. "Master Wuwo said to Xinran.
Xin Ran has studied chess with his father since he was a child. He is no stranger to it. After listening to master Wuwo, he takes a closer look and sees that in the end game, the white man has been surrounded by the black man, and it seems that there is no way out. Xin Ran can't solve it for a moment.
Xin Ran suddenly remembers that the art of war has a saying: to be put to death and to be born later. So an idea, pick up a white into a white surrounded by sunspots.
”Wonderful. Sure enough, a newborn calf is not afraid of tigers. Once this move is made, the sunspot can only come back to save himself, and naturally the white man will get out of trouble. It's really wonderful. "Master Wuwo said after seeing Xinran give birth to the white man.
Seeing that master Wui said so, Xin Ran said with a smile, "I'm also taking a chance. Master Wui's skill is what I admire. "
master Wuwo is the martial uncle of Shaolin abbot. He only studies Buddhism and chess, and says very little. Seeing that Xinran broke this situation, he would not talk to him any more. Instead, he asked the Zhike monk to leave with Xinran.
