238 times, the old things are new into the dream of returning to the immortals, and there is no desire to discuss the cultivation

A white rainbow rose from the palace and turned into a white auspicious cloud at the feet of Zhenyuan Daxian, Zhenyuan Daxian waved the dust, and the auspicious cloud flew into the lotus platform under the throne of Emperor Wu. The Twelve Pure White Lotus Platforms were complete, strangely closed, and the Martial Emperor's figure disappeared into it, and then the Pure White Lotus Platforms were also gone, and the closed curls disappeared into another strange world.

Mei Zhenyi suddenly found that everything above the clouds had returned to "normal", and only heard a woman's soft voice coming from afar: "Thank you Zhenyuan Daxian for guiding the incarnation back to its place." ”

Looking up, I saw a one-body enchanting female body Bodhisattva, dressed in golden flames, holding a white lotus sitting on a pig and disappearing into the sky. Mei Zhenyi was not mistaken, the general trend of the Bodhisattva retracted his incarnation and appeared in the air, and the mount was a big fat pig with fangs.

When Mei Zhenyi lowered her head, she found that the sky above the clouds was empty, and almost all the masters were gone. As soon as his body flickered, he felt tiredness attack, and it was the first time that he had felt this way without making a move to fight with others. Only Lingzhuzi was still there, and he instantly helped him in front of him and said, "Mei Gongzi, your cultivation in this realm still can't be held for a long time, isn't it a little dizzy?" They are all gone, let me send you back to Wuzhou or Luoyang Nanlu Mansion?"

Mei Zhenyi shook her head: "Thank you, Shangxian please go by yourself, you don't have to send it away." As he spoke, a white rainbow flew out of his sleeve and fell from the sky, and an auspicious cloud also rose under his feet, and slowly fell into Luoyang City along the white rainbow.

This spell is not profound, that is, before he cultivated to the sky, with the help of the magic of the god worship whip to fly to the sky, it looks like the thaumaturgy that Zhenyuan Daxian just cast. Now that this technique is used again, the ingenuity is completely different, the hidden body is not noticed by mortals, and the spell is naturally almost unhindered, and it does not deliberately consume any mana.

After standing with all the masters on the clouds for ten months, Mei Zhenyi was not without gains. Lingzhuzi's eyes showed a slight look of appreciation and surprise.

"Great young master. You're back, the master is in a hurry!" The person in front of the Nanlu Mansion suddenly saw the eldest young master walk in, and then another flower appeared in front of him, and a red shadow flashed, and the Zhiyan Fairy greeted Mei Zhenyi.

"Zhenyi, you've been gone for nearly a year, why can't you find any news?" Zhiyan asked with surprise and joy.

Mei Zhenyi smiled bitterly: "I didn't go anywhere else." I only heard three Buddha horns on the clouds, and then I slowly told you about the twists and turns, and now I am going to see my father. ”

Zhiyan stepped forward to hold him: "You look so tired?"

Mei Zhenyi: "It's a little tired, but it's okay, it's hard for you to look for me everywhere in the past few months." ”

"Father, what do you think of Empress Wei's comparison with Emperor Wu?" Mei Zhenyi asked in the study.

Mei Xiaolang shook his head: "Empress Wei is far from Emperor Wu, and it is in vain to imitate his fur." Sooner or later, you will get into trouble by planting your own knives. ”

Mei Zhenyi: "Empress Wei took her own life but her anger is not exhausted, and now Zhang Cambodia and other five people are crowned kings, and they seem to respect and fear that disaster has come." There is a miasma in the middle of the court, and my father should seek a way to protect himself. It is better to forgive the words of unfilial piety, than to resign from the office. How about returning to Wuzhou to recuperate? Or follow Yang Yuanyan's example, borrow home and leave Beijing. ”

Yang Yuanyan, the general of Yulin, was also the hero who supported Li Xian's restoration of the Tang Dynasty, that is, the one who had conspired with Zhang Cambodia in the river, and was now named the Duke of Hongnong County. He saw Zhang Khan and other five people being crowned king and resigning. Wu Sansi used things in the court, and also had the heart to avoid trouble, and went to the Ming Hall to worship the Buddha's relics, praised the merits of the Buddha, and applied for resignation and cutting his hair as a monk.

Mei Zhenyi saw the affairs of the palace and the court clearly, briefly introduced the current situation to his father, and also advised Mei Xiaolang to protect himself.

Mei Xiaolang smiled: "My father has no supernatural powers, but he can also see clearly." Because of you, I have a bad relationship with Zhang Cambodia, which is known to all dynasties, and it can be safe. But after all, I'm different from you, I've lived in Guanzhong all my life, and I still want to spend my days in Chang'an, that's where I grew up. ”

Mei Zhenyi: "I understand, now that Emperor Wu has just died in Shangyang Palace, my father can ask for the coffin to return to Chang'an." This is a way to get out. I can't toss it for a few years after I think that Wei Hou will get power. I have one more thing to ask for. ”

Mei Xiaolang waved his hand: "Do you want to tie your hair as a Taoist in the future and stop attacking Duke Nanlu?"

No need to open your mouth. The father can also know his son's intentions, Mei Zhenyi nodded with some gratitude: "I am a cultivator, this Duke of Nanlu, sooner or later, let Zhenting inherit it." ”

Mei Xiaolang sighed: "What Yu'e wanted in her heart back then was this matter, so she found some trouble for you, but you didn't mean it at all." Zhenting will stay by my side, I beg you for one thing for my father, if I have the opportunity to comfort Pei Yu'e when I return to Wuzhou. ”

Why do you want to persuade Pei Yu'e? Li Xian succeeded to the throne and granted amnesty to the world, and many important ministers of the previous dynasty who were denounced and convicted by Wu Zetian were also pardoned, even including the late Chu Suiliang, which is equivalent to the current rehabilitation. But Li Xian alone did not forgive Pei Yan, which is normal, but Pei Yan ousted him from the throne at the beginning, and Tang Zhongzong hated Pei Yan deeply.

After Mei Zhenyi and his father talked about the affairs of the court, he returned to Wuzhou with Zhiyan, and then Mei Xiaolang took the initiative to ask for orders to stay in Chang'an, and first escorted the coffin of Emperor Wu to Qianling. Wu Zetian was cut off the emperor's title after his death, as "Zetian Great Sage Empress", and Li Zhi was buried together, and only a huge wordless tablet was left for her in front of the Qianling, which was left to be commented on by future generations.

When she saw Pei Yu'e again in Jingwu Villa, Mei Zhenyi had no trace of hatred, and only sighed and pity in her heart. Pei Yu'e was twenty-eight years old when Mei Xiaolang divorced his wife, and she was in the prime of her youth, with a bright face and a moving body. Now twenty years have passed, and there is still a faint shadow of the beauty of the year on her face, but she is haggard and old, and Shaohua no longer has gray temples. It's not that the maintenance is not good or Mei Zhenyi deliberately embarrasses her, but that she has not felt good these years.

Seeing Pei Yu'e, Mei Zhenyi can also feel the suffering of reincarnated beings, and it is just a hurry to be prominent or desolate in a lifetime. In contrast, he is much luckier, and Yuzhen, Gu'er, Sui'er and others are also much luckier than Pei Yu'e.

Mei Zhenyi didn't say much, just talked about the changes in the palace, Emperor Wu died, Li Xian ascended the throne, but Pei Yan was not pardoned. He advised Pei Yu'e not to be in a hurry, just wait a few more years, and take care of her health in Jingwu Villa with peace of mind.

Subsequently, from the second year of Shenlong (706 AD) to the seventh year of Kaiyuan (719 AD), Mei Zhenyi has been cultivating in the three mountains of Qingyi for thirteen years, during which he has only been out of the mountain once. It was at the end of the third year of Jinglong (709 AD). Someone went to Wuzhou to visit Princess Yuzhen.

The person who came was a man of nearly thirty years old, with a handsome appearance and a dignified appearance, surnamed Li Longji, the third son of Li Dandi, the king of Linzi. Now that he was ordered to enter the court, he took this opportunity to pass through Wuzhou to visit Yuzhen.

On the bright side, Princess Yuzhen still has to hide people's eyes, and only meets her brother Li Longji in the Yuzhen Temple, but Li Longji's main purpose in coming to Wuzhou is to see Mei Zhenyi. and told Yu Zhen in private, hoping that Yu Zhen would meet Mei Zhenyi secretly.

Li Longji is the king of Linzi, he passed through Wuzhou, of course the government must be careful, and the people around him will not leave for a moment, and there is a sense of protection and surveillance. Mei Zhenyi was also surprised when he heard the news, of course he knew who Li Longji was. Isn't it the Tang Xuanzong of later generations?

If the king of Linzi wants to see him, he just sends someone to invite him, why bother to meet in private through Princess Yuzhen? There must be some plan. The historical foundation of crossing the foreland is not good, but I also know that it was Li Longji and Princess Taiping who got rid of Wei, and Li Dan of Furuizong ascended to the throne. Then Rui Zongzen is located in Li Longji. Xuanzong ascended the throne to eradicate the party of Princess Taiping, and created the Anshi Rebellion after the prosperity of the Kaiyuan Dynasty.

But none of this happened, at least in Mei Zhenyi's eyes.

Mei Zhenyi saw Li Longji in the Yuzhen Temple, and only took Zhang Guo alone. General Dingyuan was about to salute the king of Linzi. Li Longji has already preemptively given the salute and called Mei Zhenyi "a brother".

This title made Mei Zhenyi stunned, the ancients were very particular about calling each other, with names and numbers, which were suitable for different occasions. The number is an honorific title, and the younger generation cannot call the name of the elders, and the surnames are mostly called among the peers, such as Li Longji calling Mei Zhenyi "Mei Zhenren", "Brother Mei", "Mei Gongzi", and "General Mei". In his own right. It is also completely normal to call him "Mei Zhenyi" by his name.

Only acquaintances with good personal relations are commensurate with each other, Mei Zhenyi's word "put", which was given by Di Renjie back then, but almost no one called him that. Zhiyan and Yuzhen and others only called him "Zhenyi", not disrespectful, but affectionate words that they had long been accustomed to.

As a prince, the first time they met, they called Mei Zhenyi "a brother". It's not just a knuckle and a handover gesture. And it's clearly in the set almost. Li Longji deliberately befriended Mei Zhenyi, not for anything else. came to his father Mei Xiaolang, and praised Nanlu Gong many times for his loyalty and great contribution to the country, and he was a pillar of the army and the DPRK.

Li Longji also said that he had heard Mei Zhenyi's "deeds" for a long time, and he had admired it for a long time, and he really felt close when he saw it, but his identity was inconvenient, and now the court situation is sensitive, so he met in private. He also thanked the Mei family for their "care" of Princess Yuzhen over the years, and almost called Mei Zhenyi "brother-in-law" directly.

Hearing the strings and singing and knowing the elegant meaning, Mei Zhenyi certainly understood what he meant - Li Longji intended to be in Chang'an. He is obviously befriending influential gate lords in the court, and I am afraid that he is preparing for Empress Wei and others. Mei Zhenyi's impression of Li Longji is not bad, this person has a good appearance and conversation, and he is quite graceful.

The king of Linzi said that Mei Zhenyi thanked him again and again, and also said that at the end of the year, he would send Zhang Guo to send Wuzhou to Chang'an, and privately conveyed the good intentions of the king of Linzi to his father.

Yuzhen is a Taoist priest, Li Longji also knows that Mei Zhenyi is a person of Taoism, and he also used the topic to express his feelings during the conversation, saying that after returning to Beijing, he would advise the emperor to change the style of worshipping monks and nuns in the world left over from Wu Zetian's dynasty. Mei Zhenyi kept smiling, and said secretly in her heart: "Mr. Sui must like this person." ”

In the second year after Li Longji left Wuzhou and returned to Beijing, there was an incident in the palace, Empress Wei and Princess Anle poisoned Li Xian, and helped the puppet young emperor Li Chongmao to ascend the throne, in an attempt to emulate Wu Zetian's imperial artifact. Only ten days later, Li Longji and Princess Taiping attacked in Beijing, punished the Wei family, and Li Dan ascended the throne.

Li Dan ascended the throne and granted amnesty to the world, and posthumously awarded Pei Yan Zhaoxue and posthumously awarded the title of Tai Lieutenant, and the edict was greatly praised. Li Dan's rehabilitation of Pei Yan was expected, Pei Yan ousted Li Xian from the throne back then, and it was Li Dan who helped him up, and they have always had a very close personal relationship.

Mei Zhenting sent someone to pick up her mother Pei Yu'e back to Chang'an, and Pei Yu'e died of illness in Chang'an a year later, and she finally waited for this day in her lifetime.

Since standing in Luoyang Cloud for ten months, I have seen enough of those dogs in the palace. Mei Zhenyi was indifferent to the chaos in the world, and only practiced in the three mountains of Qingyi, and his mana was extremely fast. His life looks like an idle cloud outside the world, but in fact, Mei Zhenyi knows that he will face a lot of troubles and calamities in his cultivation.

Time in a flash, it was the seventh year of Kaiyuan (719 AD), Mei Zhenyi cultivated and others were also cultivating, Zuo Youxian came to visit the year before and said that he was about to come to the catastrophe. Mei Zhenyi sent Zhang Guo to Kunlun Wonderland. Waiting in the Zuoyou Immortal Cave Mansion, if Zuo Youxian has gone through the calamity, Zhang Guo will temporarily take care of the disciples and wait for Zuo Youxian to come back.

Zuo Youxian has established a cave in Kunlun Wonderland over the years, and the scale has become larger and larger, in addition to the two Meiji Zuo Jinnu and Zuo Dannu, he has also accepted a group of apprentices. This time, it is no longer called Zuodaomen, but Taidaozong. Mei Zhenyi and Zuo Youxian are just private nominal masters and apprentices, and he has nothing to set up his own door in Kunlun Wonderland. Taidao is a little more than the Great Dao, and this Zuo Supreme is still crazy enough.

In addition to Zuo Youxian, the Zhiyan Fairy has also practiced the worldly law perfectly, and Mei Zhenyi watched her soar into an immortal on Fangzheng Peak through the Heavenly Punishment and Thunder Tribulation. After Zhiyan became an immortal, he went to visit the Yaochi Sacred Realm, but he did not stay in the Heavenly Court. Mei Zhenyi waited on Fang Zheng Peak until Zhiyan returned.

Zhiyan returned to the world and came to Mei Zhenyi, punched him in the chest, and then threw himself into Mei Zhenyi's arms and said, "I finally understand why every time I shoot." You have to rob the killing power, this is obviously your own karma, and you don't want to increase the power of my earthly calamity. You already knew about the Heavenly Punishment and Thunder Tribulation, right?"

Mei Zhenyi hugged her and smiled: "I did know for a long time that Qingfeng Xiantong deliberately told me, do you want to blame me?"

"I want to blame you, but I don't know how to blame you, now that your karma is deep, I am afraid that the heavenly punishment will be difficult to deal with in the future. Breeze Fairchild is really. Why do you want to tell you that?" Zhiyan's eyes were about to turn red as he spoke.

Mei Zhenyi stretched out her hand and scratched the tip of her nose: "Do you also want to leave immortal tears and help me refine the Da Luo Achievement Pill?" Qingfeng Fairy Child is kind intentions, and I have my own way, have you ever seen anything that stumped your Daoist?"

The two of them were talking, when they suddenly heard someone in their ears: "What are you two arranging for me? Zhiyan has achieved the Immortal Dao, but has learned to gossip behind his back? Mei Zhenyi, you come with me." I saw Qingfeng Fairy Child jumping from the direction of Wuhu Villa to the top of the Dharma Pillar Peak, beckoning to Mei Zhenyi and talking.

Mei Zhenyi patted Zhiyan's shoulder: "You have been punished twice and it is quite energy-consuming. Take a break. I'm going to see what happened to Fairchild. ”

Mei Zhenyi left Qingyi Sanshan with the breeze and floated along Jiulian Mountain. I came to the Qingyi River at the foot of Jingting Mountain and stood still. Mei Zhenyi stepped forward and said: "The fairy boy has not been out of the mountain for more than ten years, and today he suddenly called me here, why didn't he say a word?"

As soon as Qingfeng stretched out his hand, a long golden translucent whip slowly stretched out, and turned back and asked, "Do you recognize this thing?"

With Mei Zhenyi's cultivation as his concentration, even if the thunderbolt is in front of him, he will not change color and blink, but at this time, his face has changed a little, and he stood there and stammered for a long time before he said a sentence: "This, this, isn't this a monkey whip?"

What he saw in front of him was the monkey whip that Mei Xi got from Mei Taigong before crossing it, and the past that had been sealed for many years had no waves in his heart, but today he saw this thing at first glance, and the twenty years of experience before the crossing flashed in the spirit platform, just like the monkey whip that slowly rolled up in front of him.

Qingfeng smiled faintly: "Monkey whip? This is a good name, the whip method has the same name as the magic weapon, so it's decided! I took that dragon tendon and combined it with Pangu vine, and today I finally achieved this artifact." ”

"The wonder of this weapon is not as good as other artifacts that are difficult to use, even if you are not a beginner, you can use it as a long whip, the higher the cultivation realm, the more extensive the use. Mei Zhenyi seemed to say to herself, this long whip was not known to be an artifact in Mei Xi's hands back then, but now Mei Zhenyi witnesses its origin, but it is like an old friend who reunites many years later.

Qingfeng: "Yes, you only glanced at it and you haven't even started it, and you can already see the beauty of it." ”

Mei Zhenyi's expression was a little strange: "I've seen it, in the big dream of losing my soul when I was a child, the fairy child called me here, just to observe this newly refined artifact?"

Qingfeng looked at him sideways: "I have lost my soul and not woken up, but I have a big dream reincarnation?" Do you still remember the words that flew to the end of the peak? Now it is exactly twenty-three years. ”

Zhixu Zen Master set up Jiulin Zen Temple, the altar left a vacant seat for the monks to come to the abbot, and left the purple gold bowl as the town temple artifact. At that time, Mei Zhenyi wondered which monk Zhi Xue wanted to greet? And Qingfeng once said that only when this monk came, Mei Zhenyi could break through the realm of the Yang God Incarnation and transform the earth, and only then could her cultivation reach the end of the worldly law, and the time of prophecy was this year.

Over the years, there have been many changes in Jiulin Zen Temple, but Mei Zhenyi ignored it when she cultivated in the mountains.

After Zhi Shu left Wuzhou, he left his disciple Zen Master Chu Lin as the abbot, although Chu Lin is also a generation of monks, but obviously not Mei Zhenyi to wait for people. A few years later, Zhixu left Luoyang and entered Shu, passing through Wuzhou and taking away the silence, leaving a secret Zen Gate public case.

It is said that Wu Zetianxia asked the sixth ancestor Huineng to send the kapok robe to Luoyang, and Huineng complied. The kapok robe fell into the hands of Emperor Wu, and one day he gathered all the monks in the palace to choose a reward, and asked at that time: "Fellow sages, do you want to?"

Shenxiu and the others, who most wanted to get the kapok robe, replied: "No desire." Only Zhi Shu replied: "There is desire." Emperor Wu asked Zhi Xue again: "Why do you have desires?" Zhi Xuan replied: "If you are alive, you have desires." "Emperor Wu gave the kapok robe to Zhixu.

Zhi Xuan took the kapok robe to the south, passed through Wuzhou and recruited disciples to enter Shu together, since then the kapok robe has never appeared in the world, and also responded to the words of Hui Neng back then: "I received this robe is to practice Buddhism, if the way of epiphany has been preached, the clothes do not need to be passed on, and the name of Zen Buddhism is the end of the law." "These were all things before Zhixu passed away, and long before the death of Emperor Wu.
