Thirteen gentlemen from the academy sat together, looking at the Buddha chessboard in front of them, all frowning for a moment.
After Li Manman brought the Buddha chessboard back to Chang'an, he tried to release Wang Gang.
It's a pity that the chessboard is the ultimate magic weapon left behind by Buddha when he passed away. It contains a complete world. Even Haotian and Master can't get people out of the chessboard.
Later, the chessboard was placed in the back of the academy for the gentlemen to study and try to find a way to open up the chessboard world.
It's a pity that everyone studied it for half a month, and Ning Que killed Xiahou and ran back from the Buddhist Kingdom, but no one came up with any results.
Ning Que still dared not tell Li Yu that Wang Gang was trapped.
"Elder brother, can't even the teacher save my second brother?" Ning Que tried many methods, but couldn't destroy the chessboard at all.
Li Manman said helplessly: "This chessboard is a magic weapon created by the Buddha to deal with Haotian when he entered Nirvana. Once a person is taken in, there is no other way unless the Buddha releases the person."
Ning Que was speechless and said: "Is it possible that the Buddha is still alive and hiding in the chessboard?"
"No, Buddha has practiced practice for thousands of years and has transcended the boundaries of life and death." At this time, the master came over with a pot of wine.
"Don't worry too much. With Wang Gang's cultivation, he can escape from the chessboard. There must be a reason why he hasn't come out yet." The master drank a drink and then said to Yu Lian:
“With wine and no food, it’s still a bit boring.”
"I'll make two dishes to go with the wine right away." Yu Lian said respectfully.
Ning Que was sweating profusely and said, "Teacher, you are still in the mood to drink. My second sister-in-law is waiting for my second brother to come back, and she is almost dying of anxiety now."
"I can't eat hot tofu in a hurry." The Master pinched his beard and said, "This is an opportunity for Wang Gang. If he can understand the rules of the chessboard world and get out of trouble, he will not be far away from being without rules."
Ning Que was shocked and said in surprise: "Can my second brother reach the teacher's state of no rules?"
The master smiled and said nothing, but urged that the food and wine be served more quickly.
…………
In the chessboard world, Wang Gang and Liansheng Thirty-two sat face to face in a small town restaurant. There were two plates of barbecue on the table. Wang Gang's mouth was full of oil after eating, but Liansheng Thirty-two didn't move.
"Don't you want some?" Wang Gang took a bite of meat and asked Liansheng Thirty-Two.
"We have been trapped here for a year, don't you want to escape?" Liansheng Thirty-Two didn't even look at the meat on the table, but just took a sip of water.
"What's the point of being anxious? This world is an illusory space specially created by Buddha to trap Haotian. Unless Buddha personally lets us out, there is nothing anyone can do."
Liansheng Thirty-Two Qi said: "Since you know this is an illusory world, you still eat it so happily. These meats are all fake."
Wang Gang said with a half-smile: "False is also true and sometimes true is also false. Who can tell clearly what is true and what is false? Just like you have thirty-two lotuses, who knows whether it is true or false."
Liansheng Thirty-Two looked stunned, but soon returned to normal, and his temperament turned illusive.
"When did you find out?" Liansheng Thirty-Two said calmly.
"I only discovered it half a year ago." Wang Gang sighed, put down his flesh and bones, and said, "You pretended to be Liansheng Thirty-Two, and I was deceived before. It wasn't until half a year ago that I figured it out."
Liansheng Thirty-Two's face suddenly twisted and instantly transformed into another person.
The person he transformed into looked exactly like the Buddha in the temple.
"Buddha, you finally showed up." Wang Gang said with a smile.
The man clasped his hands together and said with a grimace: "Buddha has reached nirvana. I am neither him nor him. You can continue to call me Liansheng. The name is just a code name and has no meaning."
Wang Gang pouted and said, "It's really tiring to deal with monks like you. If I don't meditate, will I die?"
Liansheng said: "If the donor is tired of staying here, he can leave on his own."
Wang Gang was half lying on the chair and said with a smile: "I don't want to leave now. After living here for a year, I think it's quite good here. There is wine and meat, and you, a great monk, chat with me."
Liansheng's fingers trembled slightly, and the expression on his face almost stopped.
"Donor, please leave! There are people out there who care about you and have been trying to open up the chessboard world."
Wang just smiled and said: "Master monk, you seem to be eager for me to leave right away! This is not the way to treat guests."
Liansheng's expression was slightly bitter, and he said: "It was just an accident that the donor was sucked into the chessboard world. The person I want to accept is Liansheng Thirty-Two."
Wang Gang laughed and said, "Let me guess, do you want to be reborn in Liansheng Thirty-Two's body?"
"The donor is so smart." Liansheng clasped his hands and said, "Haotian is no longer Haotian. Naturally, I also want to transcend life and death and return to the human world."
Wang Gang sneered: "I thought Buddha had transcended life and death, but it turns out you are still greedy for life and afraid of death!"
Liansheng said with a bitter face: "If the Buddha really transcended life and death, why would he need to go into Nirvana and hide in this false world?"
Wang Gang said: "Since you already know about the moon-making plan, let's open the skylight and speak openly. I deliberately fell into the chessboard world just to invite you out and build the moon together."
Liansheng shook his head and said: "I don't have the realm of Master. The person who created the moon can only be Master. Your appearance has disrupted the original timeline."
Wang Gang's eyes lit up and he said, "You really know a lot of things."
Liansheng said: "Before Buddha entered Nirvana, he used his clairvoyance to browse the long river of time and predicted countless possibilities for the future, but he missed you."
Wang Gang asked: "Do you know why I came to this world?"
Liansheng took a deep look at Wang Gang and said: "There is a great terror hidden in the soul of the donor, and even the Buddha cannot see it."
Wang Gang's eyes lit up and he asked: "Since you can see the problem with my soul, can you help me solve it?"
Liansheng's face suddenly changed drastically, his brows furrowed into the character "Chuan", and the Buddha's light all over his body was transformed into a ten-foot-long golden body, breaking through the roof.
Wang Gang quickly retreated and found that Liansheng had turned into a giant Buddha and was getting bigger, becoming bigger than a mountain.
The sky in the chessboard world turned into gold, exuding immeasurable Buddha breath, but Wang Gang still felt the calmness of the world around him.
"Get out quickly, the great terror in your soul is constantly devouring the origin of this world!" The giant Buddha spoke with endless fear.
Wang Gang's expression froze and he asked: "I can't feel anything!"
The giant Buddha opened his mouth and said: "The realm of what is in your soul is far beyond the eighth realm without rules. Not even you, even Master may not be able to detect it."
"If it hadn't been devouring the luck of the chessboard world, I might not have noticed it. Please, leave quickly! Don't harm my world, the Haotian world is more delicious!" The giant Buddha spoke with a hint of crying.
Wang Gang discovered that the giant Buddha stopped growing when it reached a hundred feet, and the original gold paint on its body was peeling off piece by piece, revealing the clay sculpture inside.
"Come on, hurry up, this world is about to collapse." The giant Buddha slapped Wang Gang, as if he wanted to knock him out of the chessboard world.
Wang Gang jumped up and came to the giant Buddha above the nine heavens and asked: "How can I get rid of the terror in my soul!"
"It has become one with your soul. Unless you reach nirvana, hovering between life and death, it will not leave." The giant Buddha cried.
He felt that more than 70% of the luck in the chessboard world had been swallowed up, and the Buddha was about to truly die!
With a stern look on his face, Wang Gang tore through the void and jumped out of the chessboard space.
The master was waiting outside the chessboard, playing chess with his apprentice. When he saw Wang Gang, he asked, "Have you felt that power?"
Wang Gang said with a gloomy face: "It makes me go through reincarnation again and again, just because it wants to swallow the world's original destiny through me?"
The goddess of heaven flashed and said: "After I awakened Haotian consciousness, I realized that the origin of the world was being swallowed by your soul. To Haotian Kingdom, your appearance is a greater threat than Master!"
"I want to get rid of this power." Wang Gang said seriously.
"It's useless. Even if you die, it will just start another reincarnation. Unless you understand the Buddha's Nirvana state, you will always be on the edge of life and death." The master sighed.
