Sun Simiao is really right, this is indeed the first bowl of rice that Mei Zhenyi has served with her own hands after waking up, and she has never done these things before. Mei Zhenyi said with a guilty face: "Teng'er knows that she has misbehaved, she was too extravagant and extravagant in the past, and she is very ashamed in front of the master. ”

Sun Simiao looked at him and nodded: "In the smoke of the world, if you can't see through, you can't go further in your cultivation, so most of the masters in the world will be born to cultivate." ”

Mei Zhenyi asked, "Master, is this suggesting that I be born and cultivate, and go to the mountains to stay away from wealth and luxury?"

Sun Simiao shook his head again: "The step of being born and cultivating is inevitable in practice, but the step of entering the world is even more inevitable in practice. No matter if you are poor or luxurious, if you have never been lost, how can you realize it? If you have never dreamed, how can you wake up? It is not possible to achieve a state of detachment by blindly escaping the world. ”

Mei Zhenyi frowned: "What does Master mean?"

Sun Simiao: "Your daily words and deeds, as a teacher, have always been in the eyes, some things are not broken, just to see if you can have a heart of self-reflection." If I had met you in the early years, I might have taken you on a journey through the world, but now I don't have to. I will teach you everything I can teach you, but Master will not always be by your side to remind you from time to time, and your introspection is very important. You didn't disappoint me, and Mr. Cheng Xuanhu from Chang'an didn't disappoint you either, did he?"

Sun Simiao never took the initiative to interfere in Mei Zhenyi's private affairs, but Mei Zhenyi's every move was seen by the old people, and he put a lot of effort into this disciple. Sun Simiao said that if he had met a successor like Mei Zhenyi in the early years, he would have taken him to the world to travel and practice, but now he can only teach Mei Zhenyi for a year, and he needs to solve many other things by himself. Coincidentally, Mei Zhenyi had already had twenty years of experience in the world before crossing over, and she knew very well what the old man meant.

During this time, Mei Zhenyi also often went to Jingwu Villa to ask Cheng Xuanhu for advice, although he did not formally apprentice, but he also treated him respectfully and respectfully, at least in the eyes of the next people, Mr. Cheng did "teach" the young master very well. As for what is going on, I am afraid that only Cheng Xuanhu and Mei Zhenyi know it in their hearts, Cheng Xuanhu has a very good impression of Mei Zhenyi, at least this young master knows his intentions but is no longer embarrassed, so that he can please both ends.

The peaceful days always don't last long, and soon things change again, and things come from Chang'an. In the blink of an eye, in the autumn, two major events happened, one was the good news from the border pass, Pei Xingjian won a complete victory in the crusade against the Turks, and the second was that the disciples of the Miaofa Sect in the Kunlun Wonderland came to the door.

Nanluhou Mei Xiaolang's speculation when he left Chang'an was not bad at all, this time it was a blessing or a curse to demote the Jingshi, and it was an opportunity to retreat, it would not take long to win the battle, and he could also return with meritorious service. Now the time is less than a year, although the army has not returned to the division, but the battle report is just around the corner, and there are many military meritorious people this time, and even Cheng Xuanhu, who is far away in Wuzhou, can have something to do with it.

At that time, the rebellion had already been destroyed, and the remnants of the Western Turks, Ashina and Ashde, returned to the Tang Dynasty, and were crowned Khan according to customs, and changed Yunzhong Mansion to Dadu Protectorate. The imperial court was very appeased, and the two were capricious and repeatedly rebelled, and they raised troops to plunder at every opportunity. Pei Xingjian and Mei Xiaolang divided their troops into two routes, Cao Huaishun, the pioneer on the left, and Cheng Wuting, the pioneer on the right, and Cheng Wuting was Cheng Xuanhu's distant cousin.

Cao Huaishun was the first to encounter the battle array, and was defeated by the Turkic Khan and the leader of the Ashina tribe, Fu Nian, who used a deceptive surrender strategy, abandoned the army and fled to the rear of the enemy army rolling in pursuit. At this time, Pei Xingjian led the Chinese army to the mouth of the Great Wall, and when he heard that the army in front of him was defeated, he defended himself and sent an envoy to send gold silk to Fu Nian, form an alliance with him, and persuade Fu Nian to attack the Ashide Department together. Fu Nian saw that Pei Xingjian's army had no chance to take advantage of the defense, so he collected the gold silk and returned to the army, and Pei Xingjian secretly ordered Mei Xiaolang's right army to make a detour to attack, cutting off the back road between Fu Nian and the Ashide Department, and the vanguard Cheng Wuting captured the grain and grass baggage and his wife in the rear of Fu Nian.

There were defenders in front, the back road was cut off, and the grain and grass wives were captured, Fu Nian had to send an envoy to beg Pei Xingjian again, and Pei Xingjian said that he would take down Wen Fu, the leader of the Ashid department. At this time, Mei Xiaolang led the army to attack from the flank, and Pei Xingjian also set up a camp to pursue, forcing Fu Nian to be cornered, and sent a messenger to express his willingness to offer Wen Fu to the front of the army within a time limit. The Ashide Department was blocked by Mei Xiaolang's army, and had not yet received news from Fu Nian, and fell into the counter-plot, Fu Nian suddenly led the army to kill and was caught off guard, and the leader Wen Fu was captured, and was tied up by Fu Nian to Pei Xingjian's army to surrender to Cheng.

This battle was a complete victory, except for the defeat of Cao Huaishun, the vanguard of the left road, the rest of the Tang army's losses were very small, mainly designed to force the Turks to attack themselves, the leaders of the two divisions were captured, and the army was clearing out the remnants of the enemy. Hearing the news of the border pass, Pei Yu'e was both happy and depressed, happy that her husband was about to return from meritorious service, and depressed that the Mei family would be rewarded after returning, and even Mei Xiaolang's son was likely to be knighted, and Mei Zhenyi's little cub took advantage of it in vain.

The days when Cheng Xuanhu was sent to Wuzhou were not short, and there were constant letters to return, and the Mei family's fields, servants, and account receipts and expenditures in Wuzhou were almost checked. The eldest young master was indeed extravagant and spoiled, and he was spoiled by his subordinates, but under Cheng Xuanhu's training, he had become obedient. It's just a thirteen-year-old child, it's easy to clean up, that's what Pei Yu'e thinks in her heart.

At this moment, her mother's Pei Mansion came to inquire about the Mei family's situation in Wuzhou, and the focus was on the relationship between Qi Yunguan and Mei Zhenyi, the eldest young master of the Mei family. What's going on? It's complicated --

As mentioned above, in that era, dragons and snakes in the world were mixed, people and demons were mixed, and gods and goddesses loomed. 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. The major families that are famous in the world have a little relationship with the various cultivation sects, or they support the cultivators at home, and their relationships are intertwined and can always implicate those immortal masters in the Kunlun Wonderland who do not ask about the world.

Kunlun Wonderland is a legendary place, it is said to be the place of ascension after the completion of the Taoist Dharma of the human monks, where it is vast and boundless, and it is the blessed land of heaven. When the elders of various sects and sects reach the realm of flying heaven, they often go far away to Kunlun, wave goodbye to their disciples, and ascend to the fairy realm. There are also people who are not cultivated enough to fail to ascend and fall on the spot, and the world calls it a catastrophe.

Kunlun Wonderland is not the same as the world, its fairy spirit is full, and it does not need to be chiseled and built, and everywhere is equivalent to the immortal cave in the world. Moreover, there is no burden of ordinary and mundane things, Qionghua and different grasses are everywhere, the treasures of heaven and earth are wild, the rare and strange beasts are widely distributed, the territory is vast, and there are the predecessors of the previous dynasties who have ascended to live here, it is another new world after detachment. Cultivators who have ascended to this level will naturally devote themselves to cultivation in order to attain the ultimate path, and most of them have no intention of returning to the world.

Are these masters really ascending to immortals? Actually, no, but at least after cultivating to become a real person, they can reach the realm of rebirth, and they can fly to the sky before they can come to Kunlun Immortalland. Since ancient times, it has been the best place for people of all factions to cultivate their great powers. It is not impossible for the laymen in the world to say that they have ascended to immortals, and the masters who can go to the Kunlun Immortal Realm are almost the same as immortals in the eyes of mortals.

Cultivators come to the Kunlun Immortal Realm and devote themselves to cultivation just for the true ascension to the boundless mystical Fangguang World, which is commonly known as the Immortal Realm. There are also real immortals in the Kunlun Immortal Realm, some of whom have reached the cultivation of immortals, but have not ascended to the immortal realm for various reasons, and some who have reached a higher realm of golden immortals and returned from the boundless mystical world, staying here for various reasons. In short, this place is different from the world, and the people who come will rarely go back to meddle in mundane things.

However, this situation changed during the Wuhu Rebellion, when the world was in turmoil, and that turmoil was very special, involving all ethnic groups and tribes in Kyushu, and many groups of different faith lineages were fighting each other, and most of the various sects of practice were involved in disputes. Although the previous elders of each faction have flown to the Kunlun Wonderland and do not ask about the world, they still left relatives and friends in the world, and these heirs were involved in disputes, and they also sent masters to fly to the Kunlun Wonderland to ask the previous teachers to return to the world to help.

There is the first one who comes back, there is a second one, Kunlun Wonderland is gradually no longer just a blessed place for the birth of Qing cultivation, it has simply become a base camp for the masters who shuttle back and forth, the immortals fight mortals suffer, and the lives in the world are very chaotic for a while. It was not until the Sui and Tang dynasties established the country and the world was unified that this kind of chaos gradually stopped. Li Tang claimed to be a descendant of Lao Tzu, believed in Taoism, and had the support of a large number of forces in Kunlun Wonderland during the founding of the country.

During the Zhenguan period of Tang Taizong, the world was stable, and at this time, Guanzi Bodhisattva came to the world from the boundless mystical and wonderful world, and ignited the holy monk Xuanzang to go west to seek the law, and crossed the soul of the dead in the killing of the founding of the Tang Dynasty, and ended a heart disease of Tang Taizong. As a result, Buddhism and Taoism were revived in the world, and Taoism was respected, which was also very clear to the Tang law at that time.

At that time, there were not only two Buddhist and Taoist schools in the world, Zoroastrianism, Manichaeism, Nestorianism (belief in God), Islam (belief in Allah), shamanism, etc., which could be seen in modern society at that time, and those that had disappeared in modern society could also be seen in Chang'an at that time, and each set up a dojo to gather believers. During the reign of Tang Gaozong, the major prominent families were often somewhat involved with certain forces in the Kunlun Wonderland.

For example, Prime Minister Pei Yan's family, the ancestor was once a disciple of the Miaofa Sect in the Kunlun Wonderland, and to this day, the Pei family's disciples still worship the ancestor of the Miaofa Sect. Who is the ancestor of the Miaofa Sect? It is the legendary Queen Mother of the West! The Queen Mother of the West has long since ascended to the immortal realm, but her Taoism still remains in the Kunlun Immortal Realm and the world. The magic weapon used by the liar Taoist priest Lu Chunyang, Feiyunxiu, was the thing that the Mystic Method Sect had lost to the world.

As mentioned earlier, Lu Chunyang once saved a seriously injured and dying monk, and obtained the Dharma transmission device Feiyunxiu and a volume of Taoist cheats. This monk was not a disciple of the Mystic Sect, and these two things were also obtained by accident, a master of the Mystic Sect died in the battle and was left behind. Later, the disciples of the Miaofa Sect found clues and sought two things from the monk, but the monk was reluctant to hand over the conflict, and fled to the world with injuries and met Lu Chunyang.

Last year, Mei Zhenyi abolished Lu Chunyang's cultivation, took away his book, and drove him down Qi Yunfeng and no longer called his original name, since then this Lu Daochang has disappeared and can no longer be found in the world. The people of Wuzhou only knew that Lu Chunyang had made a great merit, left here and traveled all over the world, spreading praise everywhere.

That volume of cheats naturally fell into Mei Zhenyi's hands, and it was not about the cultivation of the foundation Dao, but how to refine and use invisible weapons, Mei Zhenyi couldn't use it for the time being, and gave it to Zhang Guo very generously with Feiyunxiu, and this old goblin got a big bargain.

And the heirs of the Miaofa Sect have not given up the pursuit of the secret books and magic weapons in the door, and not long ago they found a clue, a Taoist priest named Chunyangzi saved the monk, and it is estimated that what he was looking for fell into the hands of Chunyangzi. Since the world has stabilized, the true disciple of the Miao Fa Sect has not walked out of the Kunlun Fairy Realm to the world for a long time, and this time in order to find the relics of the master, a female disciple with the Dharma name Zhiyan was sent out of the mountain.

When Zhiyan came to the world, he first recruited the heirs of the Miaofa Sect who stayed in the Taihang Mountain to ask for news. At that time, Chunyangzi was praised by the people of Wuzhou, and had left Qiyunguan and his whereabouts were unknown, but Qiyunguan was a dojo enshrined by the Mei family, and Mei Zhenyi, the eldest young master of Meifu, had been living in Qiyunguan since Chunyangzi left.

Zhiyan immediately rushed to Wuzhou to find Mei Zhenyi, but was dissuaded by others, and someone suggested going to Luoyang to ask the Pei family about the situation. So Zhiyan took Mingqin, the head of the Miaofa Sect, and the Dharma Protector Caiqin and Suqin, and the four masters to Pei's Mansion together. As soon as Pei Yan saw the immortal chief in the Kunlun Wonderland, he came with the head of the world of the Miaofa Sect, of course, he received it carefully, and immediately sent his nephew Pei Chong to Chang'an Mei Mansion after asking about the situation.

Pei Yu'e was also very surprised when she saw her cousin asking about the situation, and she didn't expect Mei Zhenyi to be involved in such a thing in Wuzhou.

She thought for a long time and said to Pei Chong: "My family has indeed enshrined an immortal trombone pure Yangzi, and this person has left Qiyun Temple. According to the letter from Wuzhou, the things left by this Lu Immortal are all in Teng'er's hands, and I wonder if the objects that the Immortal Master of the Miaofa Sect is looking for are also among them? You can bring this letter to Luoyang to the masters of the Miaofa Sect, and let them take it to Wuzhou and hand it over to Teng'er in person. ”

There is no flaw in these words, and there is no sinister intention, even if it reaches Mei Xiaolang's ears, he can't find a big problem. Pei Chong left satisfied, but Pei Yu'e secretly said in her heart: "Mei Zhenyi, Mei Zhenyi, this time it's you who caused the trouble yourself, no one else's blame!" She had long heard that the immortal family masters were moody and unpredictable, if Mei Zhenyi couldn't take out something or something in her hand but was reluctant to take it out, it would be difficult to say the consequences once the Flame Fairy became angry, and she even vaguely looked forward to such a result.

The question of how far the people's hearts will slip once they go astray is a very complicated question. Under normal circumstances, Pei Yu'e at most looks at Mei Zhenyi unpleasantly and wants to maintain her son's status in the Mei Mansion, which is somewhat human. Pei Yu'e would not personally murder Mei Zhenyi, and Mei Xiaolang also saw this very clearly.

But what if the situation has changed unexpectedly, for example, someone may hurt Mei Zhenyi, but Pei Yu'e's first thought at this time is not to help him and protect him, this is the difference between a thought. Many people usually don't take the initiative to harm the other party when they usually don't like the person they don't like, but when they see something happening to the other party, their first thought is to gloat, rather than to pull a hand.

That letter was nothing, but Pei Yu'e didn't send someone to report to Mei Zhenyi first, but handed it to the Zhiyan Fairy herself, which means that she didn't plan to notify Mei Zhenyi in advance of this incident.

Coincidentally, at this juncture, Mei Xiaolang sent a message from the front line to recruit Mei Yi and Cheng Xuanhu, who were far away in Wuzhou, to rush to the military camp outside the Saiwai. When the messenger came to Wuzhou, Mei Yi was also very puzzled, he had just brought his family to Wuzhou, and he was already preparing to spend a good time in Wuzhou, and the meaning of the Hou Ye who sent him before was to let him stay in Wuzhou for a long time to protect the little master, why did he suddenly have to be transferred to the front-line barracks? Could it be that the war was tight? At this time, Wuzhou had not heard the news of the great victory at the border pass.

Mei Yi was puzzled, so he went to ask the young master, Mei Zhenyi thought about it and said with a smile: "Uncle Yi don't have to worry, I don't think it's that the border war is tight, but that it is about to be won." If the battle is unfavorable, will the hundreds of thousands of troops lack the strength of you alone? It is precisely because the triumph is in sight that my father will transfer you to the barracks, so that you can leave a mark in the book of military merits and seek a ready-made merit. This is sympathetic to your hard work in Wuzhou and specially takes care of you. ...... That Mr. Cheng Xuanhu was also recruited as the secretary of the march, I am afraid that this is also the reason. ”

Mei Zhenyi's guess is not bad at all, Mei Xiaolang recruited Mei Yi to join the army at this time is this purpose, Mei Yi is loyal to him, and he also has to think about Mei Yi, this is the way to control people. As for recruiting Cheng Xuanhu, the reasons are similar, but there is another layer of intention.
