"Lust secretly consumes kidney essence!" Meixi lay on the bed, remembering what the teacher said in class.

He just had a dream that felt very cool and very funny, and he couldn't help but admire that his imagination was really rich enough, this kind of messy dream was made, and the dream was like this-

Meixi is wearing a Tibetan golden robe, the purple qi and blue light are circulating all around, the high hairpin is scattered and the bun is draped, and the colorful auspicious clouds stand above the heavens. Right now, it is a boundless and mysterious world, the golden light in Hongmeng, the chaotic Kairui fog is sprayed thousands of times, and the divine light in Meixi's eyes is open and closed at a glance.

I saw the Bodhisattvas, Arhats, King Kong, Jialan, Ming Mu, Feitian, and Xiao Han looming in the glass; the emperors, heavenly officials, stars, gods, fairies, and jade maidens, and the Danxi treasure platform took refuge; there were all kinds of psychic beasts, demon kings, spirits and strange monsters, and Qishu Yao flowers were established; there were also unknown totem gods and goddesses of all parties, or the round light on the top of their heads, or the dazzling sun with scales, or the colorful feathers volleying in the sky, and it was difficult to count the myriad states.

However, this immortal scene and the world of Fahua seem to be dissipated, with Sumeru Peak holding the remnants, seeing that the Ruizhu Palace is missing, and the steaming murderous aura has not yet dissipated. Countless gods, Buddhas, immortals, and saints all looked in one direction with awe on their faces at this time—Mei Xi and the immortals and demon gods behind him who were holding magic weapons.

Hearing a cry, a golden haired giant ape turned over and followed Dou Tengyun and landed not far away, the big red robe on its body was already tattered and there were traces of smoke, and the monkey hair on the back of the head was also burned, and he pointed at Meixi with a golden hoop iron rod in his hand and said: "Mei Zhenren, you instigated this catastrophe of the heavens, broke the cause and effect of the heavens and people, and the Jade Emperor Great Heavenly Venerable Xuanqiong High God has been knocked to the dust, what else do you want?"

Mei Xi smiled slightly: "We and other people who preach the Tao have transcended life and death, not fighting for the sake of war, and now the overall situation has been decided, and it is just in response to the discussion of the heavens, and Mei's main alliance has been decided." ”

At this time, there was a long howl, and a gold-armored god in the distance rose up, his eyebrows and eyes were round and majestic, but the golden armor on his body was broken, and the three-pointed and two-edged soldiers in his hands were also half missing. He asked in a loud voice: "Mei Zhenren, how do you ask the heavens to discuss with each other? Now the plan, if you climb the Lingxiao Treasure Palace, it is okay, please do not start another catastrophe to hurt the heavens and peace." ”

Mei Xi laughed loudly: "Defeat a Jade Emperor God, and I will be the Jade Emperor God again? Isn't this tantamount to beating myself, this is simply ruining my Dao and doing meritorious work! If you want me to say, no matter what kind of Tao you cultivate, what kind of religion you follow, and no matter how heavy the words of each family are, this boundless mystical recipe is called the fairy world, the pure land, or the heavenly kingdom, and I only designate one as 'heaven'. ...... Demolish the Lingxiao Treasure Palace, set up the rooftop, and list the heavens on it, I want to seal the sky!"

At this time, the Sanskrit sound sounded and the lotus platform appeared, and a beautiful and dignified woman came to the front. This woman has a graceful face, but she is an undressed Bodhisattva, with a brocade around her waist and no Yingluo, her clothes are messy, her bare feet and her arms are exposed, the bottle of pure dew in her hand is missing, and the willow branches inserted in the bottle are also half scorched. She looked a little embarrassed, but she couldn't see anything unusual at all, she asked: "May I ask Mei Zhenren, what kind of heavenly rules do you want to make, and what is the sealing of heaven?"

Mei Xi smiled and said: "It's not that I set the heavenly rules, but the heavenly immortals and Buddhas have set the heavenly rules together, and the so-called sealing the heavens is the demarcation." ...... Contemplating yourself, you receive the most incense in the world, and you must first make it clear to you...... Qingdi, what do you say?"

A man in a silver silk feather coat walked out behind Mei Xi, stepped forward to stand side by side with him, and said loudly: "Don't pretend to be your own heart, don't deceive the faith of others and confuse sentient beings, and don't appear in the world and claim to be a god." ——These three articles are the heavenly rules drawn up by us. As soon as these words came out, there was an uproar in all directions, and Meixi's tongue thundered thousands of miles, and the voice said: "And quiet!"

"What is quiet? Everyone in the dormitory is sleeping well, and you are smiling and talking in your dreams! I'll get up and go to the toilet, and I'll startle you!" Meixi shuddered on the head, and the voice of the fourth dormitory elder sounded in his ears, and he suddenly woke up and found himself lying on the bed, which turned out to be a dream.

The time was more than four o'clock in the morning, the sky was not yet bright, the surroundings were quiet and dark outside the window, but Meixi couldn't sleep. How could I have such a dream? Did I read too many fantasy novels on that second-hand broken computer last night? Or did I remember that my grandfather wanted to teach me a spell?

Meixi's grandfather, Mei Taigong, is a strange person in the rivers and lakes, and once said that when Meixi reaches the age of twenty, if he can pass the investigation, he will teach him real spells. At this time, Meixi thought that today is November 14, 2008, the twentieth birthday of her solar calendar.

Mei Xi, male, born in 1988, 1.79 meters tall and 72 kilograms in weight, is a second-year undergraduate student majoring in traditional Chinese medicine at Beijing University of Chinese Medicine.

His eyebrows are slightly thick, his eyes are not big, his eyes are a little deep, the bridge of his nose is straight, and the lines at the corners of his lips are slightly tight when he purses his lips. But when he smiles, there is an inexplicable affinity, which makes people involuntarily have a sense of trust, and such a smile is the signature of his eating since he was a child. Explain, he doesn't eat soft rice, but walks the rivers and lakes, speaking of Meixi, in fact, he grew up eating hundreds of meals.

......

Meixi grew up in a village called Meijiayuan on the south bank of the Yellow River, surrounded on three sides by rolling hills, and in front of the village there is a Meigong River that meanders north into the Yellow River. There are two sources of the Meigong River, which originate in the mountainous area south of Meijiayuan, one east and one west are called Chuxi and Zuxi respectively.

These two streams flow around Meijiayuan, and converge into the Meigong River in the north of the village, and Meijiayuan is surrounded by continuous hills and Meigong River, and the thousand-year-old war in the Central Plains has magically not affected this place, almost a legendary paradise. And the residents of Meijiayuan do not stick to this piece of poor mountains and thin waters, and almost all the residents of this Zhuangzi from their ancestors to the present day are artists who walk the rivers and lakes.

The oldest, longest, and most prestigious of the Mei family was Mei Taigong, who lived in the Wumei forest on a small high slope outside the village, and the courtyard was very quiet. Some people say that Mei Taigong is one hundred and twenty years old, and some people say that Mei Taigong is more than two hundred years old, and Mei Taigong once personally told Mei Xi that he was born in the Republic of China for four years, and by 2008 he was ninety-three years old, which is not as exaggerated as the legend.

Why did Taigong tell Mei Xi this? This most mysterious old man in the Mei family knew almost all the secrets of Mei Xi, because Mei Xi grew up beside Mei Taigong. Why does Meixi live with his father-in-law? What about his parents? Alas, the child has no mother, and it's a long story.

In 1988, there was a major flood in the area, and the Mui Gong River overflowed. One night, Mrs. Mei heard the cry of a baby in her sleep, sat up from the bed and listened carefully, and found that the sound came from the entrance of the village in the north, and she couldn't help but be shocked.

In fact, Lao Hai (a person who is proficient in the art of rivers and lakes) knows that it is not necessarily a good thing to smell a baby crying outdoors at night, especially when it is in the suburbs. There are often three possibilities for such a situation: the first is that someone abandons the baby, but the general parents abandon the baby often choose to be in a crowded place, so that it can be found in time, and it is very rare to abandon the live baby in the wilderness. The second is that it is enchanting and seducing, Mei Taigong is not a staunch materialist, and it is normal for him to believe in ghosts and gods, according to the explanation that some people now attach to "science", this is a hallucination in a specific environment, and it is dangerous to go into the wilderness without being conscious.

The third possibility is to encounter the underworld of the rivers and lakes, for example, there are now some gangsters who put recordings of babies crying outside people's windows, trick people out of the house at night to check, take the opportunity to beat the sticks and rob the house, etc., people who live alone should be careful when encountering this situation, and most of these underworld methods are also learned from the old society.

The baby's cry always made Mei Taigong feel uneasy, but he did not go directly to the river, but came to the village and knocked on the door to wake up a few families, and asked a few strong men to go to the Mei Gong River with flashlights. The muddy waves of the flooded Meigong River were rolling, and everyone picked up a baby boy by the river.

This baby is white and fat, naked and undressed, and he has just been born about 100 days old. It is likely that the child was washed down by a flash flood and washed ashore in the shallows, and strangely enough, the child had no scars on his body, and the only item on his body was an ornament hanging around his neck.

This ornament looks like a green leaf, with a vein-like texture on the surface, about an inch in size, but much thicker than ordinary leaves, and a yellow string is attached to the leaf pendant hanging on the baby's neck, which looks like a small jade pendant that modern people often wear. The strange thing is that the feeling of this thing in the hand is not gold or jade, and if you look closely, you can find that there is no perforation between the yellow string and the blue leaf, but it is connected into a whole, just like a leaf growing on a ring of thin vines, even if Mei Taigong is well-informed, he can't recognize what the texture is. This baby is Meixi, and this strange little pendant he has been wearing close to him since he was a child, and it is the only relic left to him by his unknown parents.

When Mrs. Mei held the child in her arms, someone next to her said a line similar to that in Stephen Chow's movie: "This child has strange bones, clear eyes, and full of energy, and he is so strange that he must be very human." ”

Mei Taigong said: "It doesn't matter who he is, it's also a small life, I'll take him in first and wait for his family to come and find him, maybe it was washed down by the flood, you go to the police station tomorrow to say it." ”

After the flood receded, no one came to look for him, and the villagers speculated that the child appeared on the river beach and was not injured, and it was estimated that he was washed down with his elder relatives, and his relatives struggled to protect the child in the flood, and finally pushed the child up the shallow at the confluence of the Meigong River, and he was swept away by the flood with all his strength. This is really a poignant and sympathetic story, reminiscent of the legendary life story of Yue Wu Mugong. Whether this speculation is true or not, it is still a reasonable explanation, and the child stayed in Meijiayuan, was adopted by Mei Taigong, and settled in the local township government and police station.

The day before the child settled, Mrs. Mei gathered all the people who went to the river beach that night to hold a family meeting, and Mrs. Mei said to everyone: "This child will not die and come to our Mei family, it is his life, and it is also the fate of all of us. ”

Then everyone discussed naming the child, since it came from the stream, the uncle's opinion was called Meizuxi, and the second uncle's opinion should be named Meichuxi, no matter how it sounded, it was like "no interest". Later, Taigong made a decision and removed the word in the middle, anyway, no one knew which stream the child was washed down from, so he simply named it Meixi. It sounds like the nickname of an Argentine star, but after going to school, classmates often laugh and say "no play", which is probably something that Mei Taigong didn't expect back then.

Mei Xi grew up in Meijiayuan like this, ate thousands of meals and wore hundreds of clothes, and lived in Mei Taigong's separate courtyard at night, and he could be regarded as meeting a group of well-wishers. Mrs. Mei also sent him to school, this child is very smart, he has been through primary and secondary school, and he was admitted to a university in Beijing, which is the first college student in the Mei family.

In 21st century China, it is not too difficult to go to university, why did Mei Jiayuan not produce his first college student until 2007? It is not that the locals are reluctant to spend money to send their children to school, nor that the local children are not smart enough, but that the children here have been accustomed to the wilderness since they were young, and they are neither willing to sit in the classroom honestly, let alone take those headache exams, and their parents do not care much about this, which is completely different from the atmosphere in modern cities.

Meixi was adopted by Mei Taigong, and many people in the Mei family were his "relatives", so what are the people who have taken care of him since childhood?——

Meixi's uncle is named Mei Zhengqian, and he is a master of Taoism, the one who said that Meixi's bones were strange by the river. In his early years, the uncle was a fortune-teller who went to the rivers and lakes to set up stalls, and his footprints were all over the scenic spots in the north and south of the river, and later he became a professional Taoist priest in a Taoist temple in a tourist area near Meijiayuan. When I first joined the Taoist temple work, the chief of the main road had a desk with an incense case in the corner of the main hall, and his mantra was "Donor, please stay!"

Once there are tourists staying, within three minutes will be a heaven and earth mysteries auspicious and evil fortune to be stunned, the main road chief will send this destined person a yellow silk cinnabar charm, tell the destined person to go home after a certain auspicious day, what kind of place outside the building to burn, in order to have the effect of eliminating disasters and disasters. The spirit talisman is given for free without money, and then the Taoist chief will open a golden booklet with red edges, and he will have a sesame oil money with a fateful person, and he promises to personally light the lamp and pray for the fate of the person in front of the Sanqing patriarch, and the booklet is written with a row of names and amounts, and the lamp oil money with the least fate is also two hundred and eighty-eight yuan.

In this case, are you embarrassed to give less? There are so many people's eyes watching you! The donor who stayed behind wants to regret it, and I am afraid that it will be after signing and returning home. Therefore, I would like to remind you a little here, if you enter a temple or Taoist temple in the scenic area, and see a monk with a solemn immortal wind or treasure face, he will wave to you with a kind smile and say, "Donor, please stay!" If you are not very rich in your pocket, it is best not to stay respectfully.

The image of the long skeleton Qingqi of the main road is excellent, and the business ability of going south and north in the early years is superb, and he is very moisturized in the Taoist temple, and later became the master of the Taoist temple. Uncle Mei Zhengqian is a Taoist priest, but the uncle's son is not, his son is the current director of the village committee of Meijiayuan.

Meixi's second uncle is named Mei Shenshou and has a variety of expert and scholar titles. In his early years, he was a charlatan, focusing on Zhu Youke, and he was very good at treating bruises, and by the way, he also sold homemade strong pills and secret recipe medicinal wine. Later, when he was older, he returned to his hometown, lived in a nearby county town with his son, who was in the medicinal herb business, and often made a special guest as an expert and scholar in radio programs, and occasionally pretended to be middle-aged and elderly patients with various chronic diseases, called radio and television stations, and praised the miraculous efficacy of a certain product in the program.

Meixi's third uncle is named Mei Zhengxin and is a folk artist. The third uncle's family Ding Xingwang is a folk opera troupe, acrobatic troupe and circus. Meixi and the third uncle's family are the closest, when he was just carried back to Meijiayuan, the third aunt had just given birth to a child with enough milk, and fed him milk for a few months. When Meixi was a child, she followed the performance troupe of her third uncle's family to many nearby venues, mainly helping with some drama work, and also learned a performing art - playing monkeys.

Children in modern cities may not have seen traditional monkey tricks. The monkey man beats the small gong and sings the opera, and the big monkey and the little monkey wear flower clothes, holding all kinds of special small masks, and make movements and somersaults along with the monkey man's words and shouting. After entering the new century, the team of the third uncle's family no longer played monkeys, and interspersed with folk performances of folk art on folk stages all over the country.

In the old society, tricks must be skillful, Meixi practiced martial arts with his third uncle when he was a child, although it is a crop style, the effect of strengthening the body is also good, and he also learned a stunt - beating the monkey whip. It is said that it is difficult to learn this set of juggling whips completely, and the third uncle's own son has not learned it all.

The cousin of the fourth aunt's family is named You Zuming, who is an archaeologist. The fourth aunt married to a neighboring village not far away and gave birth to a cousin, and the cousin set up a small kiln factory, which produced not bricks, but high-tech craft ceramics, and used various means to make the old with the signatures of various dynasties and generations. They are not responsible for sales, and there are always all kinds of antique dealers who come to buy them.

The fourth aunt's family is relatively wealthy in the local area, although married to other villages, but the Mei clan's good tradition is still there, and the children have to support themselves when they become adults, and the cousin's son You Chengji went to Beijing last year and used to do electronic products business in the Zhongguancun area. He often scans the pedestrians on the street with a pair of pure eyes, and wastes no time in stepping forward to ask: "Sir, do you want a piece of life?" Some time ago, because of the strict management of the Olympic Games, business was not good, and he went to the Panjiayuan antique market to look after the stalls for others, which can be regarded as accumulating professional knowledge for inheriting the family business.

Meixi's fifth uncle is named Mei Zhengjin and is a geographer. The fifth uncle is a well-known feng shui master, and there was a time in the past when he was not very good, and once went south to work in several decoration companies, but in recent years it has developed. Within a radius of 100 miles, whether it is the selection of land for Jianyin Mansion or the foundation laying of Jianyang House, the opening of the company, the decoration of commercial buildings, etc., he will ask the old man to take a look at the number of feng shui qi and the placement of objects. Before going to university in Meixi, the fifth uncle went to Hong Kong to carry out "academic exchange" activities, and after coming back, he no longer went out to see feng shui in person, and these businesses were handed over to his son to take care of.

Meixi's sixth uncle is named Mei Zhengqi and is a qigong master. The sixth uncle used to be prosperous in the 80s, and held many training courses and study classes all over the country, belonging to the group that got rich first, and then this kind of business was not easy to do, so he changed his career to do health care business in the city with the second uncle and his son.

Meixi's seventh aunt and seventh aunt husband and wife are both interdisciplinary postdoctoral supervisors. They issue various certificates to all parts of the country, undergraduate, master's, doctoral and even post-doctoral, covering all the country's well-known universities. And the types of certificates not only include diplomas and titles, as long as you order through the channel, the birth certificate to the death certificate can be provided, the price is fair, the variety is complete, and you are satisfied.

These people are Meixi's relatives, in addition to doing "business", they also farm in Meijiayuan, but here is densely populated and narrow, although the scenery is good, but the mountains and rivers are thin, so most of the time they still go to the rivers and lakes. It's these people who help each other to pull Meixi up, Meixi has been diligent since she was a child, once she is free or on vacation, she doesn't go to cram school to do exercises, but follows these relatives to go out to buy and sell, start or occasionally do a trust or something, and I have learned a lot of handicrafts.

What kind of child will grow up in this environment? It is reminiscent of the Jiang Xiaoyu cultivated in the Valley of the Wicked in Gu Long's novel "The Peerless Twins", don't look at Meixi's young age and old Jianghu, he definitely has the ability to sell people quietly, and the sold person can still smile and help him count the money. However, Meixi has never done this kind of thing, and capable people don't have to do bad things, just like most masters with stunts are not murderers, Meixi asks herself if she still wants to be a good person.

He, an "abandoned baby" of unknown origin, was raised as an adult, not only did he have no worries about food and clothing, but he could also be admitted to university, and in Meixi's eyes, the villagers were all good people. But Meixi is not a fool, she has experienced a lot of things when she grows up, and she also knows what her relatives are doing - the good people in this village are also a nest of typical liars outside!

This idea had been hidden in his heart for a long time, but it was difficult to say it openly, which made him feel very confused for a while. Mrs. Mei is an old man, of course, she saw what Mei Xi was thinking, and took the initiative to talk to him. Therefore, Meixi knew that the original villagers still had their own special dealings, which could be called the eight gates of the rivers and lakes. And the eight gates of the rivers and lakes, in ancient times, were not all the methods of cheating money in the rivers and lakes today, and each of them had unfathomable true skills.

It was one day during the summer vacation after graduating from Meixi junior high school, and I had just learned the monkey whip taught by my third uncle, and I was going to go to high school in the city in two days. In the afternoon, after helping Taigong chop firewood and pick up water, he cleaned up the yard, and Taigong beckoned: "Meixi, don't be busy, go to the river and scoop a big bowl of river sand for me." ”

Meixi asked very strangely: "What does the master want sand for?"

Mrs. Mei smiled a little mysteriously: "Get a plate of appetizers, let you accompany the grandfather to have a drink, don't ask, go to the river to scoop sand." ”

Fill a bowl of river sand as a snack and drink? Mei Taigong is often very strange in his work, but he is never inexplicable, what will he do? Mei Xi was also curious in her heart, and trotted all the way to the river with the big sea bowl in her hand.
