022, the ancient tree is fine Zhang Guolao, and the mountain man is suspected to be Lu Dongbin
"Master, definitely a master! Why didn't I see it at all?" Mei Zhenyi was stunned. The housekeeper Zhang Guo is the person Mei Zhenyi feels closest to this world except for Sun Simiao, and there is a special reason, because Zhang Guo looks very much like Mrs. Mei. Mei Zhenyi is also very strange about what is going on, but he can't ask, he can't ask Zhang Guo more than a thousand years later. At this time, as soon as Zhang Guo showed his skills, Mei Zhenyi immediately discovered that he was still a hidden master.
"Why are you so nervous on a sunny day? What is coming? Sword qi and demon qi? You can't be mistaken, what Zhang Guo said turned out to beβdemon qi! Why didn't I see anything?" Just when Mei Zhenyi was in shock, a gray mist suddenly rose in the sky on the other side, and a golden light shot out behind the mist.
Zhang Guo's figure did not move a wave of his sleeves, and the flat ground flew sand and stones towards the gray mist, Mei Zhenyi's eyes were sharp, and he clearly saw a humanoid figure with teeth and claws in the gray fog in the sky. This person was blocked in the air, and the golden light behind him also chased him, only to hear a shout from the other side: "The demon is gone, let's die!"
The golden light hit the gray shadow and landed, just in front of Zhang Guo, Mei Zhenyi suspected that he was hallucinating and misunderstood. Just now, I clearly saw a person in the sky, but now there was a big scorpion more than a foot long lying on the river beach, nailed to the ground by a sword, and the sword body was still buzzing. Mei Zhenyi rubbed her eyes and opened her mouth to inhale, unable to speak for a while.
The golden light landed, and a person flashed on the embankment on the opposite bank, and he crossed the water river with a leap of volley, and before he could speak, he heard Zhang Guo exclaim: "Mei Yi, why are you?"
This person is Mei Yi, the general of the Mei Mansion from Chang'an, he is not young in terms of age, but he looks only in his early thirties, he is very short and very strong, with a strong figure, sharp facial features, and healthy bronzed skin. He was also stunned when he heard Zhang Guo's greeting, raised his eyes and hurriedly clasped his fists and saluted: "It turned out to be Mr. Zhang of Jingwu Villa, I rushed to Wuzhou on the order of the waiting master, and I was entangled by demons on the road, and I didn't want to meet you here." ...... "Mei Yi spent some time in Wuzhou in his early years and knew Zhang Guo.
Zhang Guo hurriedly said: "That's the eldest young master, why don't you come to see the ceremony?...... You frightened me, young master is frail, how can you afford to be disturbed?"
Mei Zhenyi came back to her senses and was about to speak, but she only smelled a faint fishy smell at the end of her nose, and felt a little nauseous, her eyes were dizzy, and she was about to fall down when her feet were soft. Gu Er Sui'er exclaimed in unison and hurriedly stretched out her hand to help, and at this time someone behind her said: "The demon fog has the poison to attack people, Teng'er is weak, send him back to the villa." It was Sun Simiao's voice.
Mei Zhenyi is also unlucky enough, the gray mist emitted by the demon scorpion was blocked by Zhang Guo's spell, and it was extremely faint to the back, the six Mei brothers were fine, and the two little girls Gu'er and Sui'er were also fine, but he, the eldest young master, was put down for the first time when he went out in his life, who called him sensitive and weak? Fortunately, there is no big problem, with a miracle doctor like Sun Simiao, it will be fine to return to the villa for simple conditioning. But when the young master was carried back with a dark face, everyone in the villa was frightened.
When Mei Zhenyi woke up, the housekeeper Zhang Guo, the family generals Mei Yi, the personal maids Gu'er and Sui'er, and Sun Simiao's medicine boys Qu Zhensheng and Qu Zhenming were all surrounded in front of the bed, most of them looking anxious and worried. Sun Simiao left after treatment, only asking the two boys to watch, he knew in his heart that Mei Zhenyi was fine, but the others were not as calm as Sun Lao Immortal.
As soon as Mei Zhenyi opened her eyes, Gu'er and Sui'er shouted softly in unison: "Young Master is awake, young master, how do you feel? If there is anything uncomfortable, go and invite Sun Xianren again!"
Zhang Guo in front of the bed also said: "Young master, you can frighten the old slave, if you have any three long and two short, this villa can't be explained, today's incident is the old slave's carelessness." β
Mei Yi nodded on one knee and said: "I am Mei Yi, a house slave in Chang'an Houfu, I came to Wuzhou to protect the young master on the order of the waiting master, and I was entangled by demons on the way, so I had to kill him, I don't want to disturb the young master, please punish me." β
These people spoke almost at the same time, it sounded messy enough, Mei Zhenyi coughed, struggling to sit up, Gu Er Sui'er hurriedly helped him up. He sat on the bed and waved his hand, everyone stopped, Mei Zhenyi looked at Mei Yi's eyes were a little straight, and said in a sloppy voice: "Don't talk first, I have something to ask, your name is Mei Yi, right? I have heard your name, and now I have two questions, answer me carefully - how can there be monsters in the world? How can you fly across the river in one step?"
He was indeed very confused, and at the same time shocked, it was not that he had not encountered supernatural events before crossing over, but those experiences were very ethereal. And today, in broad daylight, I saw a person soaring into the air and being killed by a flying sword, turning into a big scorpion on the ground, the Meifu general in front of him, flying sword and slashing demons, crossing the river in one step, is more legendary than the description in martial arts novels, it is simply the legendary sword fairy, how can he not be surprised?
When the crowd heard his words, they didn't react a little, as if they heard idiotic questions like why people eat and why dogs bark. For these people, this kind of thing has long been taken for granted.
But if you think about it from another angle, this kind of question is not idiotic at all, why do people eat and why do dogs bark? People often don't think about things that people take for granted, they seem to be just some simple common sense, and after feeling numb, they neglect to study it deeply. For example, children who are just becoming sensible often ask, "Who am I, where am I from, why did I come into this world?" but adults don't think about these questions anymore.
In the 21st century in which Mei Zhenyi once lived, there were no goblins rampant, and there was no sword flying fairy on the street. It was the housekeeper Zhang Guo who reacted first and explained to Mei Yi: "The little young master has been in a mess for twelve years, waking up before the moon, and today is the first time to walk out of the gate of the villa, and I don't know a lot about things in the world, so it's not strange to have this question." β
Mei Zhenyi turned her head and pointed at Zhang Guo: "Butler, since you know, tell me about it." β
Zhang Guo hurriedly replied: "The young master didn't ask about it before, so the people didn't talk about it much. There are not only people in this world, but if the living people of plants, trees, birds and beasts get the chance, they may know that I am psychic. ......β
Mei Zhenyi interrupted him and interjected, "What do you mean by 'knowing me psychic'?"
Zhang Guo frowned, thought about it and replied: "Those who can be alone in their bodies and reproduce in the world are all sentient beings." Sentient beings suddenly know what I am in ignorance, like waking up from a dream and thinking about change, which can be described as psychic. β
Even a normal person may not be able to understand these words, Gu'er and Sui'er, the two little girls, only blinked when they heard it, Mei Zhenyi frowned slightly and said, "I don't understand very well, you don't care about me, go on." β
Zhang Guo continued: "Psychic can be practiced, and if you are successful in practice, you can transform into a demon, become a monster, become a spirit, and the title is different, or live in the mountains and fields to cultivate, or mix in the world." β
Mei Zhenyi asked again: "I understand a little bit, why do those goblins become humans?"
This question seems to be difficult to answer, Zhang Guo groaned and said while thinking: "Man is the spirit of all things, the furnace has a unique full form of health preservation, and the qi and blood meridians are in line with the circulation of days, so the demon cultivation has become a multi-human form, and this is one of them." ...... The world is prosperous, and the way of cultivation is implied in it, and it is also seen in the inheritance of the sages of the past dynasties, which is unique among all sentient beings, so it is mixed with the practice in the world, which is also the second. β
Mei Zhenyi nodded and said to herself: "It turns out that there are monsters in this world, and they are mixed around us, do you all know it?"
Zhang Guo's face was a little bitter and hesitant to answer, Mei Yi said: "The demon has a successful psychic cultivation, and it turns into a human form and blends into red dust, which is often no different from ordinary people, and mortals don't need to know everything if they don't know it." There are masters who can distinguish between them, and if there are monsters as a disaster, they should take action to subdue demons and eliminate demons. His answer is very particular, meaning that everyone knows that there is such a thing, but ordinary people can't tell who is a monster.
Mei Zhenyi turned her head to look at Mei Yi and asked: "So that's the case, I know that there are monsters in the world, but I can't tell who is a monster?"
Mei Yi: "Monsters are not evil, what do I care?" I met a group of monsters on the way, and saw me riding alone, plotting the sword I was wearing, and blocking the road in the wilderness to rob and kill. ...... My horse was devoured by a monster, drew his sword and slashed the demon, the monster I saw today was the last one, and I dared to come to Jingwu Villa after I cut it all, so the road was delayed. ...... At that time, I was just chasing, and I didn't think that the monster would go to the southern suburbs of Wuzhou, and I happened to collide with you, young master. β
It turned out that this was the case, Mei Yi came south, and met a group of monsters on the way, and the matter was bad on the sword that Pei Yu'e gave him, this sword is also a precious magic weapon in the world, and the monsters are most interested in this kind of thing, and the leader of this group of monsters has the idea of greed. It shot and grabbed the sword, how could Mei Yi agree, he drew his sword on the spot and counterattacked, killing a few demons and the rest fled.
Mei Yi originally went to Wuzhou to protect the young master, and he was thoughtful, since he had made a feud with this group of monsters on the way, it was inconvenient to rush to Jingwu Villa immediately, otherwise it would bring danger to the young master if he led the enemy away. So he chased and killed all the monsters with his sword, and the scorpion spirit was the last one, and the collision with Mei Zhenyi was purely accidental.
After Mei Yi finished speaking, Mei Zhenyi still seemed to say to herself: "It turned out to be a robber who blocked the road and robbed, there are monsters who are robbers, and there are people who are robbers, and they look the same, it seems to be the same." β
Zhang Guo stretched out his sleeves and quietly wiped his sweat and said, "Young Master sees that this is indeed the case. ...... In fact, there is no need to worry, it is very difficult for monsters to become psychic and transformative, and there are very few people who mix in the world, so it is not very easy to meet. β
Mei Yi shook his head when he heard this: "Steward Zhang's words are not true, the monsters mixed in the red dust seem to be no different from ordinary people, but most of them have the power to practice, once they are a disaster to mortals, it is difficult to avoid it, so there are many Taoist masters in the world who are vigilant, but the mediocre people don't know it." β
Zhang Guo nodded again and again: "Yes, yes, Mei Yi's words are much more clear than the old slave." β
Mei Yi looked at Zhang Guo, there was a deep meaning in his eyes, and he still shook his head and said: "Why is Steward Zhang humble, the young master's question just now, you answered very exquisitely, and it is secretly in line with the Xuanji Dao, I can't answer my own questions, I'm afraid it's not Steward Zhang, you realize, right?"
