In the thirty-second round, Empress Dowager Meng entered the meditation and cultivated the real Shen cherry to drive the monkey into a soldier

It is said that the three of them were walking on the road and suddenly saw a military horse galloping towards them. Seeing the three Empress Dowager Meng, the military horse stopped. An official stepped forward to speak, and the horse behind him was Meng Kui! I saw the official Ma shouting: "It's the Empress Dowager Longyou who came in front?" The next official is Liu Shuang, the commander of Yushan County, who led the army to welcome the Queen Mother! ”

It turned out that that day in the small hotel in the village and town under the mountain, seeing the three of the Empress Dowager Meng, Meng Kui said secretly: "Who is this old woman, why did the female general call her an immortal master?" He pretended to go to the back, but sneaked back and looked at the three men. I saw the female officer lying on the table and sleeping. The male officer fell to the ground and was reprimanded by the old woman. When Meng Kui heard this, he was taken aback, and said secretly in his stomach: "It turns out that the old lady is the queen mother!" But he didn't say anything, and sneaked back behind. After the three of them left, Meng Kui went to the back to lead out a horse, carried a black red thick wooden stick, found another shortcut, hurried to look at Yushan, and reported to the county government. When the county commander Liu Shuang heard the report, he was shocked, and immediately led the two heads and Meng Kui, ordered 200 native soldiers, and hurried to escort them.

Liu Shuang took the Empress Dowager Meng to Yushan. Empress Dowager Meng knew that it was Meng Kui who reported the news and attracted Liu Shuang to greet her, so she praised Meng Kui's cleverness. As the saying goes: But do good deeds, don't ask about the future. It is often the good deeds that have a good future. Meng Kui did good deeds and won the favor of the Empress Dowager Meng, and since then she has had good luck and soared to the sky. This is a later story, so let's put it aside for the time being, and I'll talk about it later.

The next day, Liu Shuang sent Empress Dowager Meng to Raozhou Mansion. After resting in Raozhou for a day, Huang Wengong, the prefect of Raozhou, sent Empress Dowager Meng to Longhu Mountain. Longhu Mountain was formerly known as Yunjin Mountain, and the peaks stretch for dozens of miles. Legend has it that ninety-nine dragons gather here, the mountain is like a dragon plate, like a tiger, the dragon and the tiger compete for power, and the momentum is not compatible; Shangqing Creek floats in from the east distance, walks slowly according to the mountain, turns the peak around the mountain, seems to take a break, seems to love the scene, crosses the beach and is white, meets the pool and is green, or whispers elegantly, or meditates quietly. Ninety-nine peaks, twenty-four rocks, take the softest water; The stream that turns around the mountain and the peak, and the masculinity of the ninety-nine dragons. Shandan water is green, full of spirituality. Later, Zhang Daoling Heavenly Master took his disciples into the mountain to refine the pill, refining the Nine Heavens Divine Pill, and the dragon and tiger appeared, so it was renamed Longhu Mountain.

Enter the Dragon and Tiger Mountain, and first look at the Qing Palace. But see: the regiments are all high mountains and mountains, and the mountains are surrounded by streams, and there is only one road in the middle, leading to the halfway up the mountain. Halfway up the mountain, I came to the Shangqing Palace, only to see the real person of the abbot and the attendants of the Taoist Tong, leading the Empress Dowager Meng into the Shangqing Palace. Inside and outside the hall, many Taoists rang bells and drums, incense flowers and candles. The prefect accompanied the Empress Dowager Meng in front, and Ju Zhixun and Cherry followed, all of them except for the armor and the blade. The armor and blades of the two people, the prefect asked someone to pick them out, and they followed behind. The abbot glanced back at the cherry and couldn't help but be secretly surprised. Seeing the abbot looking at her, Cherry didn't know what he meant.

Entering the Shangqing Palace, the abbot taught the Empress Dowager Meng to stand in the center, and Huang Zhifu, Ju Zhixun, and Cherry stood on both sides. The abbot led a group of Taoist priests to kneel on the ground to worship the Empress Dowager Meng, and said: "Zhang Chongwang, the abbot of the Shangqing Palace, leads the Taoists of the Shangqing Palace, and meets Xi Weiyuan and Miaojing Immortal Master!" Empress Dowager Meng smiled and said, "Daoist, please get up." The old body is still shallow in learning, and he has a false reputation, but he is not a true immortal master. Zhang Chongwang knelt on the ground and said: "The immortal master knows and does the unity, and he has obtained the deep meaning of the Tao, and he is a true immortal master!" Empress Dowager Meng said: "Tell the Taoist to laugh and get up." ”

Zhang Chongwang and the Taoist priests worshiped Huang Zhifu, turned to the cherry again, and asked, "Dare to ask this real person's honorable name?" "How could Cherry have seen such a formation! For a while, I was inexplicable, and I didn't know what the abbot meant, so I didn't answer. Empress Dowager Meng said: "This is Shen Cherry, and He Xiangu is also a true disciple." Now that Wu Shengjun is in office, the old body wants her, and she comes to Longhu Mountain with the old body. Zhang Chongwang listened, and hurriedly knelt down with the Taoist priests, and bowed: "Meet Shen Zhenren!" Cherry exclaimed: "Daoist Mobai, the little woman can't stand it." I am a general of the Wusheng Army, not a real person. It's just a coincidence that I met He Xiangu by chance, she passed on a lotus pod to me, but never taught me any Taoism. And the lotus pod has been handed over by the saint, and I have no lotus pod. Zhang Chongwang said: "Where the fate is, the Tao has followed." Shen Zhenren has the true inheritance of He Immortal Master, and he is also a person in my Dao! Cherry had to look at the Empress Dowager Meng and begged for help: "The Empress Dowager save me." I don't know what the Taoist said. Empress Dowager Meng smiled, and slowly chanted a few lines of poetry in her mouth: "I don't know if I have immortals, and I have a dream of picking Huazhi for ten years." The autumn wind moved the yellow clouds and twilight, and returned to Songyang to find the old teacher. When Cherry heard this, she didn't understand it even more, so she just shouted: "What did the Queen Mother say?" Don't play tricks on little girls! Empress Dowager Meng said: "This is a poem by Li Shangyin in the Tang Dynasty, and the title is called "East Return". Cherry said, "Really?" Don't coax me! If I had known that, I wouldn't have come. ”

Ju Zhixun only said that the abbot was flattering Cherry, but ignored him, and he was quite unhappy in his heart. Empress Dowager Meng turned to Zhang Chongwang and said, "The old man is here to find the place where Zhang Tianshi is alchemizing. I don't know where the place of Heavenly Master's alchemy is? Zhang Chongwang said: "The place where the Heavenly Master alchemy is in the Zhengyi View. Empress Dowager Meng said: "Is there a legacy?" Zhang Chongwang said: "Yes." In the Zhengyi view, there is a Heavenly Master Alchemy Room, which is the remains of the Heavenly Master's alchemy. There is also a library with many Taoist classics. Empress Dowager Meng said: "Very good, not only to visit the relics of the Heavenly Master's alchemy, but also to recite Taoist classics." Where is the Righteous View? Zhang Chongwang said: "It is in the mountains after this." "It turns out that the Shangqing Palace is a place for burning incense and practices, but Taoist priests mostly live in a positive view.

Empress Dowager Meng moved to the offering table and burned incense and candles. Zhang Chongwang led the Empress Dowager Meng out of the Shangqing Palace and climbed the mountain to another peak. But see: the green mountains are green, and the clouds are piled up. The two cliffs are divided into tigers and dragons, and there are apes and cranes crying around. Looking at the top of the cloud-covered mountain, watching the sunset hanging on the treetops. The flowing water is murmuring, and the sound in the cave is singing jade pendant; Feiquan Waterfall, the cave faintly plays the yaoqin.

When Empress Dowager Meng saw it, she was very happy and praised: "This fairyland is also! "Climb up the mountain, only to see an ancient temple on the top of the mountain, but see: gray tile white wall, simple and elegant, majestic, fairy bones proud, the door forehead inscription "is a view". Entering the temple, a slip side hall on the left is the alchemy room of the heavenly master, and a side hall on the right is a place where Taoist priests learn the Tao and cultivate the truth. There is a temple in the middle, and the book "Library Pavilion" is written. There are several houses and dozens of rooms behind the temple, but it is the residence of Taoist monks. Empress Dowager Meng visited the relics of the Heavenly Master's alchemy, entered the library pavilion, saw many classics, and said: "The old body wants to live here, I don't know if it is convenient?" Zhang Chongwang said: "If the immortal master lives here, it is a great fortune to look at it!" Empress Dowager Meng said: "Please ask the Taoist chief to come and explain the Taoist classics to the old body." Zhang Chongwang said: "I am willing to recite for the immortal master." The immortal master will know what it means when he listens to it, and there is no need to explain it! Empress Dowager Meng said: "It's okay to talk about it, listen to everyone's opinions." Zhang Chongwang said: "The immortal master is right. Then he instructed the Taoist priest to clean up three clean rooms and teach the Empress Dowager Meng to live in them. The three of them purified their bodies, put on Taoist robes, and settled down in Zhengyiguan. The prefect led a group of people back to Raozhou,

At this time, it was December of the third year of Jianyan, and the weather was cold. Empress Dowager Meng was at home every day, listening to Zhang Chongwang tell about the old things of the Heavenly Master, talking with Zhang Chongwang about the scriptures and Taoism, and borrowing Taoist classics from the library to read back to the house. Ju Zhixun was respectful and waited beside the Empress Dowager Meng. Cherry was bored, only listened to the old things of the Heavenly Master, but did not know how to talk about the scriptures, and walked out of the temple. I saw many trees around the temple, and a group of monkeys came from the trees, chirping, jumping and foraging. The cherry jumped up to the tree for a moment. At this time, he was bold and not afraid of people, and when he saw the cherry jumping up the tree, he actually came to play with the cherry.

When several Taoist priests saw the noise on the trees outside the temple, they came to see cherries and monkeys frolicking on the trees. A Taoist priest had already come to the Empress Dowager Meng's room to find Abbot Zhang, and reported: "It's strange and strange! That Shen Zhenren jumped on a tree outside the temple and frolicked with the monkey. Empress Dowager Meng smiled: "Don't be strange, she is such a monkey." On that day, 2,000 gold soldiers came to kill the old body, and she carried the old body and jumped to the tree to hide for a long time. The old body evaded the golden soldiers, but he followed her as a monkey! Zhang Chongwang praised: "This is a real person!" ”

A few days later, Huang Wengong, the prefect of Raozhou, heard the news and went up the mountain to report to the Empress Dowager Meng. Huang Wen said respectfully: "Gu Lijia, the general of the Jin Kingdom, led 2,000 horse troops to attack the Queen Mother, but was killed by Yang Zaixing. The lord will be beheaded, lose his sharpness, and the west is mountainous, which is not conducive to the march of the horse army. Today, the Jin soldiers and horses have returned to Hangzhou. Empress Dowager Meng said: "This old body is known. Do you have any holy news? Huang Wengong said: "Hangzhou has been lost, and the saint has gone to Yuezhou." Cherry interjected, "How is General Han Shizhong?" Huang Wengong said: "General Han was defeated and fled to Jiangyin. Although the generals Zhang Jun, Liu Guangshi, Han Shizhong, and Yue Fei were defeated, they were still fighting with the Jin soldiers in their respective headquarters. Cherry Qi said: "Didn't Zhang Jun win?" Huang Wengong said: "I just won the first battle, but in the end I was not as strong as the Jin army." ”

Cherry heard that General Han was defeated, and she was depressed. I went to the queen mother's house every day, and listened to Zhang Chongwang talk about the old things of Zhang Tianshi, so I went out to an open space outside the temple, first practiced a stick, and then went up the tree to play with the monkey. After some time, there were more and more lynxes, and every day there were forty or fifty crocoons to make noise with the cherries. While the cherry was dancing the stick, the monkey jumped down the tree and watched from the sidelines. One day, when the cherry danced the stick, a monkey jumped into the circle, but the cherry waved the black iron rod to hit, the monkey was frightened, hurriedly jumped away, the black iron rod hit a big stone, only to see the big stone "boom" shattered, bluffing all the monkeys jumped to the tree. Naturally, all the monkeys are afraid of cherries, and cherries are the monkey kings. Another day, Cherry picked a few pine cones from the pine tree, got down the tree, and sat down on a large rock. Pick up a small stone, smash open the pine nuts, and eat the nuts. When they saw it, they came to learn one after another, picking up small stones and throwing pine nuts to eat. The monkey ate nuts, scratched his ears and cheeks, and couldn't help but be happy. He was very convinced of cherries, and followed them every day, foraging and frolicking in the woods by the temple.

On this day, Cherry lifted the black iron rod and went out to take a look, but saw Ju Zhixun holding an iron gun and followed out. Cherry Qi said: "Commander Ju, why don't you serve in front of the Queen Mother, but come out of the temple." Ju Zhixun said: "The Queen Mother is unwell today and has rested." I took the time to come out to practice my gun, but I didn't use a gun for more than ten days, I'm afraid I'm going to be a bad person. With that, he fired a shot in the clearing. Cherry saw it, became interested, and praised: "Good marksmanship, I'll accompany you to practice!" He lifted the black iron rod, jumped into the circle, and fought with Ju Zhixun. But see: back and forth, up and down. Coming and going, like a dragon playing in deep water; One up and down, but it seems to be half a rock fighting for a tiger. The wild monkey was angry, and the black iron rod only looked at the top door and flew away; The commander is angry, and the iron gun is not centrifuged. The good hand is in the middle, and the red heart is won in the heart. Cherry and Ju Zhixun fought for a long time, and when the fight reached more than forty times, Ju Zhixun sold a flaw, and taught Cherry to look at the top of the black iron rod, but he jumped to the left side, dodged the black iron rod, and then shook the heart of the iron spear to the cherry. Cherry didn't look good, and hurriedly rolled to the left, dodging the muddy iron gun, but lost the black iron rod. Cherry rolled out of the circle, got up and praised: "I lost, Ju Commander is good marksmanship!" Ju Zhixun put away the gun and praised casually: "Accept." General Shen is a great method! ”
