There is no history to remember the ancient floods, and when Fuxi and Nuwa come out, draw the order of the gossip and the world, and determine the great Lun of the world, and the spirit of all things will spread out. These are the earliest legends, Fuxi is also known as the Green Emperor. Later, Emperor Yan Shennong and Yellow Emperor Xuanyuan fought for the world, the Yellow Emperor won, the various departments were integrated, and the people of Kyushu were called the descendants of Yan and Huang. The descendants of the Yellow Emperor enjoyed the country for a long time and passed it on to Qin. At the end of the Qin Dynasty, Liu Bang, the ancestor of the cloth cloth Han dynasty, won the world, and its origin cannot be examined, and the ancient lineage is inherited.

Human beings come out of the flood and wilderness, as if from chaos into the clear, so the saints look up to all things in heaven and earth, and each understands the mystery and establishes the Tao. At that time, the situation was quite different from that of later generations, because the predecessors had no learning to teach and no Tao to teach, and the enlightenment of the saints all pointed to clarity from the chaos, so its mysteries have been passed down through the ages. The details that are too long, Sun Simiao can't know everything.

There are not only people in the world, but also sentient beings. There is a way of cultivation in the world, and sentient beings may also practice, so there are cultivators and monsters. The so-called cultivation is to cultivate the origin and realize the origin, and to realize the path of transcendence. Due to the different Taoist systems in the world, different pursuits, and different methods, the origins of each sect and faction are intricate.

Sun Simiao talked about the way of self-cultivation of doctors, the five qi dynasty yuan, easy tendon and marrow washing, rebirth, and transcendence, which are no different from what Qu Zhengbo said, but it is not a legend from his mouth, but a real self-cultivation method. Sun Simiao himself is also a Taoist priest of alchemy, and he also talked about some of the exquisiteness of Taoist practice.

Taoism takes Lao Tzu as the ancestor, advocates the way of nature, cultivates immortality for a long time, and seeks to ascend to the Tao. Although the stages of the methods are different, the realm of cultivation is almost the same: practicing the form and retiring from illness to reach the entrance path of the five qi and the Yuan Fang; the easy tendons to wash the marrow and exercise the furnace ding, breaking through the delusion and not deluding and refining the mind; and then reaching the realm of the inner and outer body and mind as the true same, can be called a great person; the exploration of the entrance is like a new life, and you can have the pleasure of flying and be free; when the yang god appears, you will not be burdened by the shape of the furnace and the ding, and you will have the power of being out of the gods. This is the end of the worldly cultivation realm.

When people talk about ascension, there are two meanings, one of which refers to the ability of the cultivator to fly to the sky, and the mortal is called the flying immortal, which is a beautiful word. The real ascension to immortality is to point out that after the gods are transformed, all kinds of incarnations in the world are complete and unhindered, and they can be liberated from ****, and at this time it is the realm of true immortals. In this way, there is still a realm of cultivation after becoming supernatural, but Sun Simiao didn't say much.

Of course, there is more than one way to practice, for example, Buddhism starts from the state of mind and seeks liberation step by step, the method is different from Taoism, but the joints are similar. For example, if you are delusional and not confused, you can enter and exit the empty door inside and outside the body and mind without hindrance, which is called Luo Han Guo, and Taoism is called Dacheng Zhenren so far. Out of the supernatural detachment ****, the incarnation of the mysterious can cross the world, called the Bodhisattva fruit, still above the realm of true immortals. If you look into it carefully, there are all kinds of complicated stages of exquisiteness, and outsiders can't tell if you don't enter the cultivation certificate.

Speaking of this, Mei Zhenyi couldn't help but ask: "Is the so-called Dacheng real person in the cultivation path the same thing as the real person called in the 'Ancient Theory of Innocence'?"

Sun Simiao asked a little strangely: "How do you know the Yellow Emperor's Inner Canon?"

Mei Zhenyi didn't pay attention to this sentence before he felt that it was wrong, even if he was born to know it, he couldn't be so exaggerated, and hurriedly explained: "I once heard Zhenming and Zhensheng asking each other outside the door, and I was reciting the inner scriptures, and I remembered some when I heard them." ”

Sun Simiao nodded slightly: "I see! The so-called real person in the ancient naïve theory does not refer to the so-called Dacheng real person of the cultivator, if you really want to compare, then I am afraid it is already the realm of true immortals." ...... The so-called Dacheng real person refers to the purity of the internal and external purification of the body and mind, and the realm is not lost. ”

Mei Zhenyi: "Then this kind of realm, from the perspective of a doctor, what is the particularity?"

Sun Simiao smiled: "There are some things that can't be said, you have to verify it in person, and tell you the simplest, Dacheng Zhenren is said to have a three-yuan lifespan, get rid of the suffering of illness and misfortune, and be able to live all the days without decay." The so-called longevity of the three yuan, the reincarnation of one jiazi is one yuan, and the three yuan is one hundred and eighty years. ...... People with this realm may not all stay in the world within the limit of three yuan, but only a little talk, and the focus is on not declining throughout the day. It may also end up in a catastrophe, or it will go away by itself, or it may go further in order to ascend. ”

Mei Zhenyi: "I heard that before you were seventy years old, the world was already called Sun Zhenren, did you already have the realm of Dacheng Zhenren?"

Sun Simiao smiled again: "I studied medicine, I was frail and dying several times in my early years, and I realized a lot between life and death, and I felt that medicine and Taoism were the same, so I also participated in cultivation." Of course, the realm of Dacheng is a real person, but I am still a healer, and I do not seek immortality with the Tao, I only wish to heal the suffering of this world, which is also my real realm. Others may be puzzled, but you may be able to understand my thoughts later. ”

Sun Simiao is a scattered person who cultivates the Tao, but he does not seek to ascend to immortality, but just wants to use this to confirm the way of medicine and treat the suffering of the world, so he did not clear the Taoist method in the blessed land, but walked the rivers and lakes to help the world. Mei Zhenyi can understand this idea to some extent, and the traditional Chinese thought has the saying that "if you are not a good person, you will be a good doctor (Note 1), a good complement the temple, and a good doctor will cure the world", including the ancestors of the Chinese ruler Yan Emperor and the Yellow Emperor, who are also the ancestors of medical Taoism, and the medical classics are named "Shennong's Materia Medica" and "The Yellow Emperor's Neijing", which Professor Qu Zhengbo has said.

Then again, cultivation is not something that can become an immortal if you want to become an immortal, and its difficulty is no different from buying a lottery ticket and winning the jackpot for ordinary people, and even if you can get the teachings, it is not necessarily a blessing or a curse. Lack of qualifications, poor temperament, and unknown teachers are easy to go astray, and even never recover.

Mei Zhenyi's most concerned question was what kind of world he was currently in? After some conversation, he realized that this was a world where dragons and snakes were mixed, people and demons were mixed, and gods and gods were looming. Cultivators do not deliberately hide, they show their magical powers to intervene in human battles, and even some high-ranking officials and famous generals above the court are themselves masters of cultivation. On the other hand, the status of the cultivators in the rivers and lakes is transcendent, such as Lu Chunyang, who once went to Jingwu Mountain Villa to fight the autumn wind, was respected by the villagers of Wuzhou as Lu Xianren, floating above all living beings.

Hearing this, Mei Zhenyi asked again: "Do all these living cultivators you always said have real skills, and are they all as beneficial to the world as you are?"

Sun Simiao smiled bitterly: "Don't praise me, although you are smart, you are still young after all, and you don't understand the sinister world." Some people do have magical powers, but many more people are exaggerating and deceiving the world, and there are many people in the world. Even if there are some achievers, they may not be able to use deceptive means to enrich themselves. ”

Hearing what the old man said, Mei Zhenyi also smiled, the current world is not fundamentally different from the rivers and lakes after a thousand years, they all pay attention to "sharp" and "inside", the tip is a little real kung fu, and the inside is a trick to deceive people, and more people are purely charlatans. If there is any difference, it is that in this world, many people openly appear as immortals and holy Buddhas, and there are really demons and monsters living in the world, which is unimaginable in a civilized society after a thousand years.

He smiled and said: "My family also has an immortal, surnamed Lu Chunyangzi, what kind of person do you think he is?"

Sun Simiao shook his head: "I don't want to talk about the rights and wrongs of people behind my back, but you can tell by yourself everything, that person claims to be an immortal, it is his own immortal way, as for you, it depends on how he deals with you." ...... If my guess is correct, since you wake up, that immortal will soon come to the door, and you don't care if he is an immortal or a mortal, it just depends on how he acts. ”

After a long conversation in the middle of the night, Sun Simiao saw that it was getting late, so he asked Mei Zhenyi to go back and rest early. After talking for a long time, Mei Zhenyi didn't know the answer she wanted—why do the gods, bodhisattvas, demons, and monsters in this world openly run around? But in fact, it is equivalent to making the answer clear—no one has ever stipulated that they can't come out and walk around casually. There is one more thing that Sun Simiao guessed correctly, that Lu Chunyang Daoist really came to the door the next day.

The next morning, Mei Yi had nothing to do and was teaching the six Mei brothers martial arts in the open space in the back garden. He was originally ordered by the Hou Ye to protect Mei Zhenyi and teach the little master how to defend himself, but the young master's body and bones are not able to practice martial arts now, and Mei Yi thought of the six Mei brothers in a flash. These six people have known each other since they were children in Mei Yi, the Hou Mansion of Chang'an, and they have also learned some protective kung fu, their physical fitness and foundation are good, and they are also six good personal bodyguards if they are trained well.

The six brothers can learn from a swordsmanship master like Mei Yi, so naturally they can't ask for it, and no matter how hard and tired they are, they are also very interested. They practiced martial arts, and Mei Zhenyi also moved a backrest bed to sit on the side and watch, feeling that these six brothers had some foundations, but they were not as good as they were back then, but Mei Yi taught them very smartly. was looking at it energetically, and the housekeeper suddenly came to report that Lu Xianren from Qiyunguan came to visit and insisted on seeing the little master.

Sun Simiao has not said that the young master can meet foreign guests casually, if it is an ordinary person who comes, it is okay to say that he is weak and inconvenient, but this Lu Chunyang Daoist is different. As mentioned earlier, he enjoys the worship of the Mei family and the villagers of Wuzhou, and is known as the immortal, which is the magic power of the immortal family, and it can't be said that seeing him will be detrimental to the young master's condition, right?

Mei Zhenyi was stunned when she heard Lu Chunyang, she mentioned this person to Sun Simiao yesterday, and Sun Simiao didn't seem to be very interested in this person. If it was when he just woke up, as soon as he heard about Lu Dongbin's name, he wouldn't have been able to go to see him at a trot, but now the situation is different, he has somewhat understood the current situation of this world, and he has a little more doubts in his heart.

He remembered Sun Simiao's words, for this kind of person, it doesn't matter if he is an immortal or a mortal, it depends on how he deals with you, he thought about it and said: "Butler, just say that I am weak and inconvenient, and I will visit the immortal chief another day, but I will disappear today." You treat him well, you can arrange what you eat and drink, in short, you are a guest, just be polite. ”

Zhang Guo was a little embarrassed: "I have already said that the young master is weak and inconvenient to see guests, but the immortal chief thinks that I am deliberately embarrassed, he claims to be in Qi Yunfeng to pray for the Mei family's practices, the young master finally woke up unharmed, even if others can't see him, isn't he Lu Daochang?"

Mei Zhenyi frowned: "This Taoist leader has a big shelf, and the monk enters the Hou Gate, does he still have a strong view knowing that his master is sick? I'm just a teenager, I can just talk to you about Steward Zhang." ”

Zhang Guo smiled bitterly: "I'm afraid what he wants to see is you, the little young master, when he came, the pomp was very big, the two subordinates came to report first, the boy in Tsing Yi opened the road left and right, the sedan chair was carried to the door of the villa, and the person sent a law post before entering the door." I've read his post, and I'm afraid you won't be able to talk about it without seeing you. ”

Mei Zhenyi said curiously: "Oh? I also wrote a post, show it to me." ”

"Right here, young master, please take a look. Zhang Guo handed over an A4-sized post with a golden cover and red edges. As soon as Mei Zhenyi saw this post, he remembered the big uncle Mei Zhengqian before the crossing, and the Taoist chief pretended to be a ghost in the Taoist temple to deceive tourists of incense money, and the signed post on the table was also this kind of skin.

He was about to take it, but then he remembered that he was still "undeserved" literate, so he waved his hand again and said, "You read it to me." "The people of the Tang Dynasty loved to drag poems in everything, and the left page of the post was a poem-

Long leaning on the three mountains and sitting on the clouds,

Fly in the palm of your hand and drink a lake.

Fate leads the world to pine and plum friends,

The smoke came out of Xiu and entered the city.

A few lines of words are written on the right: "Practicing in the mountains, I saw the clouds surging in Wucheng, and the prince of Zhimei Mansion woke up, and the spell was not in vain, and the Taoist heart was very relieved." The little boy was born very, and he had a fate with the immortal family to get rid of the misery of the world, so he moved to the door and gave him the way of eternal life and eternal happiness. ......" This Taoist chief is clearly hinting that Mei Zhenyi's waking up is all due to his supernatural powers, and then he wants to accept the eldest young master of the Mei family as an apprentice, listening to the tone, it seems that Mei Zhenyi has been greatly blessed.

If a modern person who has crossed over heard that Lu Dongbin was going to take him as an apprentice, I am afraid that he would be happy to jump so high, but at this time, Mei Zhenyi was slightly shocked when he heard it, and felt that something was wrong. is not only because of what Sun Simiao said last night, but Mei Zhenyi has long known that there is a saying in the eight gates of the rivers and lakes that "the mage eats the apprentice", which refers to the fact that he is looking for a rich and powerful wronged boss to start, saying that he has a fairy fate, and he wants to be accepted as an apprentice by a destined person, and he is deceived by wealth, fame and fortune together, and the deceived person is often still in the dark and respectful to the liar. Mei Taigong has told a lot of such anecdotes, and it seems that this Lu Daochang may not have any good intentions.

Whether Lu Chunyang planned to do this or not, Mei Zhenyi didn't want to wronged a good person, so he thought about it and said, "Steward Zhang, you said that this is Sun Simiao's explanation from Doctor Sun, and it is inconvenient for me to see outsiders for the time being." No matter how big a Taoist priest is, does he dare to overpower Sun Lao Immortal? I don't think he will force him to see me again. Tell him that I'm an ignorant kid and that I might as well tell you something. ...... Mei Wu, Mei Liu, don't practice for the time being, go to the front hall with the housekeeper to wait, and listen to what the Taoist master wants to do?"

After a few pillars of incense, Mei Liu quietly slipped back and reported: "That Taoist is dressed in style, and it is really a fairy wind skeleton to sit there." He said that practicing in Wuzhou, the aura benefited one party, and the young master was also very happy to wake up now. He said that the young master has a lot of luck with the immortal family, and he is willing to pass on the immortal art to help the young master enjoy the blessings and prolong his life to ascend the immortal seal. ...... Young master, Immortal Lu took the initiative to accept you as an apprentice. ”

Mei Zhenyi remained silent: "It has been written in these posts, is there anything else, what does he want our Mei family to do?"

Mei Liu: "Daochang Lu also said that the scale of Qi Yunguan is narrow enough for the immortal family, and if the young master learns immortal art there, he will lose his identity." In Qingyi Lake, the three mountains of Chengshu, Dharma Pillar and Fangzheng are connected as a whole, strong as an immortal pen holder, and the immortal qi of the valley is full of immortal energy, which is a rare fairy blessed land. ...... He hopes to build a cave in the three mountains of Qingyi Lake, and does not seek Mei's private land, but only wants to spread the immortal origin in the four townships of Wuzhou, if the young master practices with him there, he can also get good fruits in the world. ”

Hearing this, and then thinking of the meaning of the words in Lu Daochang's poem, Mei Zhenyi somewhat understood in her heart, and said without changing her face: "I know everything, you go back and quietly tell Zhang Guo, let him tell Lu Daochang, just say that I have admired immortals for a long time, and I am very afraid that I can't treat guests when I am too weak to treat guests. ...... Uncle Yi, your vision is sharp and good at recognizing people, please go to the front hall to see how good that Taoist is?"

Note 1: "Not for a good look, willing to be a good doctor" is the remark of Fan Zhongyan in the Song Dynasty, there was no sentence in the Tang Dynasty, but its thinking is in the same vein, as a modern person who crossed Meixi thought of these, it is not a BUG.
