048 times, this way can be passed on and cannot be accepted, first there is a real person and then true knowledge

Zhong Liquan took a sip of wine, shook his head, and his expression was a little inscrutable: "She bought you with a bottle of Shengyuan Pill?" It seems that you have a good impression of her...... Cultivation seeks longevity and detachment, but this 'life' is not the other 'life', but the body exists in the world. Cultivating to her kind of realm, she is by no means a person who is greedy for life and afraid of death, it is funny to say, immortality begins with rebirth, but if there is a trace of greed and fear in her heart, she will not be able to cultivate rebirth. ”

At this point, he took another sip of wine, and then said: "Boy, are you a person who is greedy for life and afraid of death? Say that you are, you once dared to smoke even me, say that you are not, if I am not here today, even if you don't want to, I am afraid that you will have to swallow your anger and give them something, whether it is reasonable or not?"

"Of course I don't want to die or hurt needlessly, and if something really has to be decided, I won't back down. But here today, I still have to take care of the entire Qi Yunguan and all the subordinates of my Mei family, I don't want to and can't be rash. As for the whip at your old man that day, it was because I knew that you had the mind and cultivation of an immortal, and it was impossible for me to hit you, and it was impossible for you to deal with me, a child. Mei Zhenyi opened her mouth to explain, and quietly gave Zhong Liquan a high hat.

Zhong Liquan smiled: "You are a person who has not yet been born, you have concerns in the world, and you can also take your own responsibility for this concern, which is very good! With my support today, you have no intention of taking advantage of my power to bully others, which is also very good! Your ability is limited now, and what will happen when you have great achievements in the future?"

Mei Zhenyi: "What will happen in the future, I will talk about it in the future." ”

Zhong Liquan smiled and nodded: "Okay, okay, what I want to find is someone like you, and I finally didn't look away...... Zhang Guo, don't kneel, go to the kitchen and ask someone to get two more dishes, I want to have a few more drinks and have a good chat with your young master. ...... Mei Zhenyi. Poor Dao is in a good mood today, if you have anything to say to me, you just have to speak. "I don't know if he has drunk too much wine or if he has an appetite for food, so he is interested in sitting here.

Zhang Guo got up and went out, and after a while, a few more specialty dishes were prepared in the kitchen, and only Zhong Liquan and Mei Zhenyi were left in the room. Since he was allowed to speak, Mei Zhenyi thought for a while and asked, "I don't know if the Knowing Flame Fairy failed to retrieve Feiyunxiu, how can he return to the master to recover his life?"

Zhong Liquan replied without raising his head: "The Queen Mother of the West has big rules. The rules of the Dao system she left behind are strict, and Zhiyan can't go back to the Kunlun Immortal Realm to recover her life, so I'm afraid she can only wander outside for a scattered cultivation. Why, your heart hurts? This person has been practicing in the mountains for a long time, but she lacks real experience, and this is also her creation, and you may be able to see her again in a few days. ”

"Will she come again, looking for me? ”

Zhiyan has already said that he will not ask for Feiyunxiu anymore. Speaking naturally counts. As long as there is a realm of Dacheng Zhenren, it is true inside and outside, whether it is good or evil, Buddha or demon, it is a person who does not regret his words, which has nothing to do with the "good or bad" of a person usually referred to. If you like to be treacherous, you can't have this kind of cultivation.

Cultivation is cultivation, "cultivation" and "for" are one, Mei Zhenyi's master Sun Simiao has become a real person. He knows very well what such people do. In this sense, dealing with "real people" is much simpler than dealing with mortals.

Zhong Liquan shook his head and said: "She didn't come to you, she came to find Zhang Guo, have you forgotten, she hasn't done anything yet, she just passed on the precepts of Zhang Guo's wonderful method, and it is estimated that she will come in a few days." Zhiyan only knows the cultivation and doesn't understand the rest, and Na Mingqin is selfish. Instead, you and I have set a precedent in the cultivation world through the ages, and if it spreads, it may not become a common practice in the future. He explained to Mei Zhenyi in detail-

Since ancient times, the Taoist inheritance of various sects and sects not only has mental formulas, but also corresponding precepts. "Keeping the precepts" itself and "cultivating" are one, and each sect has its own particulars, and if you only know the mental law but do not know the precepts, the practice of supernatural powers may not only harm others but also harm yourself.

To use a similar analogy. Prescribing a dose of medicine can cure the disease. But at the same time, it is also necessary to list the contraindications of taking drugs, otherwise not only may it not cure the disease. It is also possible to accidentally turn a good medicine into a poison. Therefore, Zhiyan gave Zhang Guo two choices, either to worship under the Miaofa Sect, or to disperse to cultivate, and it was not completely unreasonable, at least in her simple and direct thoughts, it was taken for granted.

After Zhong Liquan and Mei Zhenyi were reconciled, Mingqin persuaded again with selfish intentions, and Zhang Guo only received ordination and did not need to enter the apprenticeship. In Mei Zhenyi's opinion, this is the most reasonable, Zhang Guo just inadvertently got the Feiyun Secret Book, you can't force him to worship his subordinates, and you can't take it upon yourself to disperse his cultivation.

Spiritual lineages are often taught by the master to take in the disciples, who first enter the school and then receive the ordination. This situation like Zhang Guo is a special case, it is very rare, if it weren't for Feiyun Cheats and Feiyun Xiu being outcast, even if he quietly learned the Mystic Method, I'm afraid no one would look for him. Zhang Guo's matter seems to be solved very simply, but it has set two precedents in the cultivation world since ancient times.

The first is to take the ordination and not formally worship the teacher. In this special case of Zhang Guo, what should I do if I have received the Dao Dharma but is not taught by my master? I can keep the precepts of whoever I learn the magic, and I can't force him to worship under the door, and I can't let him act in vain.

The second is to generalize, from another point of view, if in the future, there are some Taoist sects that do not exist in the world, but the mental formulas they practice are still circulating in the world for various reasons, and there is no longer a teacher to receive ordination, then what should the practitioners who learn these mental formulas do, isn't it that no one cares about playing casually?

This situation did not appear in the Tang Dynasty, but in the 21st century before Mei Zhenyi crossed over, Taoist classics and all kinds of magical skills that did not know whether they were true or false** were all sold casually on bookstalls. If there is no teacher in practice, when you have supernatural powers, you should also abide by the precepts of the world, and if there is a law to pass on the world, you should have the precepts of the world.

Zhong Liquan explained why Zhang Guo's matter opened a precedent in the cultivation world, and other cultivation disciples may not understand it, but Mei Zhenyi, who came through for the later generations, completely understood it. He blinked his eyes and thought about it for a long time, feeling that it made sense, but there was also a problem, and he frowned and said, "Senior Zhongli, when you talk about the earth, I vaguely feel that it contains a major mystery. But it's not very thorough. The precepts of the various sects and sects in the world are different, or if the practitioners do not know where they have learned and inherited, how should they keep themselves?"

Zhong Liquan: "It doesn't matter if you can't understand it for a while, in fact, I haven't understood it either, if you have this question in your heart, you can do it, what you want to do, please start with me, push yourself to reach others." ...... Brat. Zhang Guo's matter is over, now it's your turn. What happened last night, was it a cultivator or did you take the wrong medicine, and you actually talked to the Zhiyan Fairy like that, are you looking for a beating?"

Mei Zhenyi could only smile bitterly when she heard this, bowed her head and said: "Since my predecessors asked, it's not good for me not to tell the truth, in fact, I recognized the wrong person." The reason why that's the case is related to your predecessors. He mistook the dress he saw Mingqin and the others last night, mistook it for Zhong Liquan's change and seduced him, and told the inside story that he got into trouble as a result of joking.

Zhong Liquan laughed, and the cups and plates on the table of laughter trembled. Laughing and laughing, he suddenly paused, glared and said, "Boy, how old are you, no matter how smart you are." It's impossible to think in advance that I would use the ** method of hooking to test you. Explain to me what's going on!"

This is a bad dish, seeing that it is going to be a goof, how could a thirteen-year-old child think of this in advance? Mei Zhenyi blinked and said: "That's the case, I usually read the biographies of the ancients and immortals, and the immortals used to say this, but at that time, my head was confused, and I misunderstood. ”

Zhong Liquan: "I don't think you're confused. You are a disciple of Sun Simiao, it is impossible for the master not to teach you, think about it, do you know where you are wrong?" The tone of this sentence was different from just now, it was no longer a joke but rather solemn, and with the words, there seemed to be a divine thought directly forced into his mind, like a deep blow.

Zhong Liquan mentioned Sun Simiao, and Mei Zhenyi's mind flashed. Like being woken up in a dream. - His mistake is not that he recognized the wrong person. It's not that the misunderstanding has become a temptation for Zhong Liquan, but because it violates the three sentences that Sun Simiao once taught him!

The first sentence is, "You don't care if he is an immortal or an ordinary." It's up to him to deal with you. "Then the women last night, whether they were masters of cultivation, mountain spirits and ghosts, or visions of Zhong Liquan's changes, came to greet him, and there was no other out-of-the-ordinary manners, Mei Zhenyi opened her mouth frivolously and hidden, first of all, she was wrong, and violated the master's teachings.

The second sentence is, "Keep the way of understanding in your heart, and don't be strange." "Then when he saw Mingqin and the others dressed enchanting last night, he thought about it at the first thought, the other party didn't do anything he played tricks first, where did he look like a person who cultivates and enlightened? Even if it is Zhong Liquan's temptation, he is also strange, and he has lost the heart of sticking to himself.

The third sentence is, "There is no difference between the presence and absence of the Guru." If Sun Simiao was on the spot, would Mei Zhenyi be like that? Of course not! This sentence can be understood from another angle, if it is not Zhong Liquan's temptation, but a woman passing by and asking, can Mei Zhenyi be like that, and will not! In this way, Mei Zhenyi did not do a single word of Sun Simiao's three teachings.

Sometimes you can fully understand the truth of a sentence, but you may not be able to do it anytime and anywhere, and you can consciously abide by it unconsciously. When Master gives you the truth, it doesn't mean that you have "attained enlightenment", and this is often the case with ordinary people's problems. There's a term called "knowing the usual," and if you can't do it, you're not yet in the realm of cultivation!

This can also confirm what Zhuangzi said: "The way of the husband is affectionate and faithful, and there is no action and intangibility, which can be passed on but not acceptable, and can be obtained but not seen." ”

At this time, it has been two months since Sun Simiao left, and Mei Zhenyi's cultivation of the Lingshan Heart Method has been slow to break through the realm of "like a god", and the reason is the same.

The reason why Mei Zhenyi is wrong is because she is too smart, or too smart. He relied on the legendary experience he had heard before crossing over, and broke Zhong Liquan's temptation spell three times in a row, and he did it again on the fourth time, and as a result, he played big and planted. In fact, he didn't have the ability to foresee the future, but he just relied on the memory of the legend before the time travel, but he really thought he could foresee it.

After he first met Zhong Liquan, Sun Simiao once said: "You are not confused by his magical powers, not because you can break through delusion and confusion in your current cultivation, but because you have already noticed it, so you didn't go in at all!" At that time, his old man said it very thoroughly, but Mei Zhenyi did not wake up immediately.

A thought flashed and thought of so much, the spiritual platform was clear, Mei Zhenyi stepped forward and bowed down with the teacher: "Thank you seniors for waking up, otherwise the juniors will not know that they are in a dream." Please bow down to me. ”

Zhong Liquan looked at him with a look of relief on his face: "Very good, in this thought, your cultivation has already benefited, since you worship me as a teacher, you must have already known my intentions, why do you call me senior instead of calling me master?" He finally couldn't hold back and took the initiative to say the words of accepting apprentices.

Mei Zhenyi: "The ancients can become a teacher with one word, the teaching of the predecessors." I should bow and thank you as a teacher. But when I officially apprenticed, I still had two doubts in my heart. "Don't tell lies in front of real people, Mei Zhenyi really still has a pimple in her heart. Thinking that Sun Simiao opened his mouth to accept the apprentices, he bowed down without even thinking about it, but today in front of Zhong Liquan is not like this.

Zhong Liquan smiled and said, "Oh, you put up the shelf, let's say, what other doubts do you have? Aren't you qualified to be your spiritual teacher?"

"No, no, there is still something in the hearts of the juniors, the first time I met the seniors was outside the door of Wanjia Hotel. To tell the truth, what the predecessors did in the Wanjia Hotel, the disciples were very unhappy in their hearts. He finally told the truth in front of Zhong Liquan. and also told what he said to Sun Simiao later.

Zhong Liquan sighed softly: "The apprentice hasn't started yet, so I've taught the master first, it's rare! It's not like I've done it for nothing. If the world hears about the Ji family and understands it, it will not be in vain for me to make a point. ”

Mei Zhenyi was slightly taken aback: "Senior, do you also know that the Ji family is enough to toss? You originally wanted to use this to enlighten the world, but with the Ji family as a chess piece, their mother and son did not offend your old man." ”

Zhong Liquan smiled slightly: "Are they unlucky? No, you appeared, and this is the harvest." You have your gains, I have mine. The world has the harvest of the world, except for those who are obsessed and unenlightened, and the Ji family is not unlucky, do you still want to blame me?"

Mei Zhenyi: "What the predecessors said and did is secretly in line with the mysterious avenue, since I understand, I naturally will not have any resentment." But if other supernatural masters in the world don't know, if they see their predecessors acting like this, they will compete to imitate them. I'm afraid it's not a blessing in the world. ”

Zhong Liquan nodded: "What you said also makes sense." But I don't care about other people's affairs, and this has been the case since ancient times. So be it. You worship me as a teacher, learn the Jindan Avenue, and then ask for the way you understand in your heart after you have great achievements in the future. Do you have any doubts?"

Mei Zhenyi: "I already have a practicing guru Sun Simiao, if you want to respect another guru, you should ask Sun Zhenren for instructions." ”

Zhong Liquan: "This is the right ground, you respect the teacher, I like it too, everyone likes to accept such disciples." But Sun Zhenren is not here, are you going to see him in Guanzhong?"

Mei Zhenyi: "You don't have to travel far, I have my own way to meet the master and ask." ”

Zhong Liquan looked at him with a questioning look on his face, and said with a little disbelief and some expectation: "Oh, do you have this cultivation? If so, try it, and when you ask Sun Zhenren, I will come to you." Today's dish is good, thank you!" Yan Bi picked up the wine gourd and floated out of the door, and when Mei Zhenyi turned around, he was gone.

Zhong Liquan said that Zhiyan would come to Zhang Guo again in a few days, and Mei Zhenyi specially explained to Zhang Guo, and immediately notified herself as soon as she saw Zhiyan. He didn't blame Zhong Liquan for being troublesome, but he was always a little unhappy about what happened to Zhiyan and wanted to talk to her. However, Mei Zhenyi was not waiting for the Zhiyan Fairy first, but the reward from the imperial court.

Luoyang passed the decree, Nanlu Hou Mei Xiaolang made meritorious contributions, was crowned as the right servant shot, and entered the Duke of Nanlu, not only reverted to the phase, but also the power was better than before. His eldest son, Mei Zhenyi, was shaded and given the rank of Captain Yun, and he had the status of a seven-rank commander at a young age, which can be regarded as a special favor from the imperial court.

Of course, Mei Xiaolang, the Duke of Nanlu, was not the only one who was rewarded this time, Cheng Wuting was crowned as the Duke of Pingyuan County, and Pei Xingjian was crowned as the Duke of Wenxi County. The first war sealed the three dukes, and everyone seemed to be happy, but everyone who understood it felt unusual. Pei Xingjian is the boss, why is the reward obviously thin? This is more or less the ghost of Prime Minister Pei Yan.

The army also went to Luoyang to face the saint, the first thing above the Qianyuan Hall is the military merit of the court, it is said that the greatest credit should be the commander Pei Xingjian, but Pei Yan said: "General Pei led the left army and horses to lose the first battle, and the second battle and stuck to the Great Wall and did not form an alliance with the enemy with gold silk, and Mei Xiaolang led the right army to attack and cut off the Turkic rear road, and the vanguard Cheng Wuting robbed the enemy's baggage, and laid the foundation of a complete victory. ”

His remarks were clearly suppressing Pei Xingjian, and praising Mei Xiaolang and Cheng Wuting, especially Cheng Wuting. Pei Xingjian is an upright person, not good at forming a party for personal gain, he has always kept a distance from Pei Yan, everything is a business-like attitude, and now he has made great contributions to the court, if he does not try to squeeze out the ground, Pei Yan's position as the first assistant may not be guaranteed.
