186 times, relatively has reached a speechless place, and the flowers and rain have sent advice

In the backyard of Nanlu Mansion, in the quiet garden, the peony flowers have new leaves, and there are flowers on the branches, but at a glance, there is a sign of depression and decay, which is completely different from the feeling of peony flowers in the mountains outside the city. The white peony stood in the shadow of the tallest cluster of flowers and trees, still using the jade bone fan as the hairpin, and the purple Shizhi in his hand was already gray and white.

"White Peony, how can you be so weak?" As soon as Mei Zhenyi saw White Peony, she stepped forward and grabbed her wrist, and asked with a drastic change in her face.

Bai Peony's smile was very faint, as faint as a cloud of smoke that was about to disappear: "I kept the last breath of vitality, I just wanted to see you, you are finally back." ”

Mei Zhenyi grabbed her shoulder: "Things shouldn't be like this, I saw a mountain full of peony flowers outside the city, and when I entered the city, I heard that Luoyang peony was pardoned, what happened?"

Bai Peony was a little unsteady by his shaking shoulders, gently leaned on Mei Zhenyi's chest, pointed to the peony bush and said: "The peony flowers in the mountains outside Luoyang City are blooming, I have also heard the news from the outside world, this matter has nothing to do with the peony being pardoned, but I used all my mana and the remaining vitality of this life to move the peony flower out of Luoyang City and break the ground in the mountains, don't forget that I am the god of flowers, and I can still do this." ”

Mei Zhenyi's voice was already a little choked: "White Peony, why are you so stupid? What are you doing this for, I can obviously save you, just wait for another two years!"

Zhiyan was speechless on the side, she also saw the situation clearly, now don't say that there is no Nine Turns Purple Gold Pill, even if there is a Nine Turns Purple Gold Pill, it will not be able to save the white peony at this time. The cultivation of White Peony I has been dispersed, and the flower god who remains in the small courtyard now is just a weak and dying remnant form god.

Bai Peony looked up at Mei Zhenyi's face in his arms, and asked softly, "Mei Zhenyi, what are you saving me for?"

Mei Zhenyi: "No why, I just don't want you to die." ”

White Peony: "I don't want to do it either. I just don't want Luoyang peony to become extinct. ”

Mei Zhenyi: "Luoyang peony is extinct, there are still peonies in the world, but what about yourself?"

White peony: "I am the Luoyang peony, you can save me, but can you save the Luoyang peony? Last time the peony in Xiyuan was not opened, I told you that the god of flowers has the dignity of the god of flowers, and you should also understand that the god of flowers still has the wish of the god of flowers." I'm not going to be alone. Now I will go, but Luoyang peony is still there, this is my wish. ”

Mei Zhenyi: "Why don't you wait for me?"

White Peony: "Actually, it's no wonder to others, and it's not even to blame the Empress Wu, Qingfeng Xiantong and Mr. Sui saw it last time, and my days are approaching." ...... Let me ask you, will you be able to become an immortal if you practice in one lifetime?"

Mei Zhenyi: "There are many cultivators, but there are few immortals. But there is always hope. ”

White Peony: "If you don't become an immortal, what will you do?"

"Re-enter the cycle. Mei Zhenyi's eyes were already a little blurry, but she tried her best not to shed tears.

Bai Peony: "Even if you refine the Nine-Turn Purple Gold Pill, let me get out of the flowers, can I jump out of the cycle of life and death? It's nothing more than to let me live like a mortal for a few more years, but the Luoyang peony will be extinct, if you are me, how should I decide?"

Mei Zhenyi hugged her: "Don't say it again." ”

White Peony: "No. I must make the last words clear, the reason why you are sad is that you don't want to see me leave, but you have to see this scene in the world after all. After all, you have not become an immortal, you have not yet detached from the state of mind, practice with fate, and tie with fate, the cycle of life and death of all living beings. It can't be forced. You only see me in front of you, have you forgotten the reincarnation of beings outside this small garden?"

Mei Zhenyi: "You have not become an immortal." ”

White Peony: "Yes, I haven't become an immortal yet, this is just a little insight before I die." ...... Mei Zhenyi, I have been in the dust for hundreds of years, and I have never seen a person like you, and the things you have done for me are not because of the peony country. I don't know whether to be disappointed or happy? Mei Gongzi's kindness can only be repaid when he has a fate in the next life. ”

What happened to White Peony. That's a long story. There are successes and failures in cultivation, and there are few who have achieved success, and it is better than the separation of Kunlun Wonderland, and the cultivation of the gods and the cultivation to the end of the world's law, and still fall in the heavenly tribulation, not to mention other monks in the world. Although the white peony has been reborn and cultivated for hundreds of years in the world, its life span has also come to an end.

Last time at the Oiran banquet, Qingfeng and Mr. Sui saw it and told her bluntly that her life was coming to an end, and Bai Peony knew it herself. Later, when he was alone with Mei Zhenyi, he told the story of a fortune teller on the streets of Luoyang, which can be regarded as a hint.

However, an unexpected thing happened at this time, and the Empress Wu demoted the peony from Luoyang, which was equivalent to cutting off the foundation of the flower god's cultivation and most of his mana. Fortunately, Mei Zhenyi was prepared and made such a quiet garden in the backyard of Nanlu Mansion, so that the white peony had a place to hide, because of his local relationship, Mr. Sui, Qingfeng, and Guanzi Bodhisattva all intervened to renew the life of the white peony.

It is not an accident that the white peony is approaching, and the extinction of Luoyang peony is an accident. The god of flowers has the dignity of the god of flowers, when the Empress Wu issued a decree in Xiyuan, the peony flowers just don't bloom, but the god of flowers also has the wish of the god of flowers, she doesn't want to see herself leave, Luoyang peony has since disappeared.

So Bai Peony made a decision, dissipated all the remaining mana and vitality, and at the same time used up the germinal qi in Zishizhi, and broke the ground in the mountains and fields outside Luoyang City to become a peony flower, which is the special magic power of the flower god, and it is the last time she will use it in her life.

Of course, she has another choice, which is to hide in the quiet garden and wait for Mei Zhenyi to come to her rescue, if the Nine Turns Purple Gold Pill can be replaced successfully, although the white peony has lost most of her cultivation mana, she can leave this place and live like a mortal for another few decades. But White Peony didn't choose so, she chose someone to stay.

As for the peony flowers blooming in the mountains and fields outside Luoyang City, it happened to be the time when Emperor Wu granted amnesty to the world, it was just a coincidence, because the white peony couldn't wait any longer, her mana was constantly fading, and if she waited any longer, she would not be able to let the peony flower break the ground outside Luoyang City, so she made a decision not long ago.

At that time, the peony flowers in the middle of the Xiyuan did not open in advance due to the decree of the Empress Wu, and now the peony flowers outside Luoyang City are open, which has nothing to do with Emperor Wu's accession to the throne. This is the state of mind that a flower god like her pursues.

Bai Peony's words reminding Mei Zhenyi are also very thorough - you are not an immortal, even if you are an immortal, you can't let all the people close to you become immortals. Even the Buddha couldn't help it, you had to face life and death in the world.

Mei Zhenyi was speechless, holding the white peony, wanting to cry but holding back, her body trembling slightly. Zhiyan's eyes were slightly red, and the person was quite calm, so he stepped forward and said softly: "White Peony, what else do you have to explain?"

White Peony: "There are two things I hope Mei Gongzi can promise me." ”

Mei Zhenyi: "Say it." I listen, if I can do it. ”

White Peony: "It's not that you want to do it, but that you don't want to do anything." First, don't grudge with Emperor Wu because of me, although you have cultivation, you are not an opponent, not to mention that there is still your Mei family in the world. Second, I want you to close your eyes and turn away, I don't want you to see me gone. ”

Mei Zhenyi couldn't answer. Zhiyan gently stepped forward to help Bai Peony up, and pushed Mei Zhenyi, making him turn around. I saw the long black hair of the white peony under the flowers slowly floating, gradually turning into a gray color, and her face was like a flower withering in an instant. Then the figure dissipated like smoke, and the petals in the small garden fell all over the ground like rain.

The petals fell on Mei Zhenyi's head, face, and body, and when he turned around and opened his eyes, the white peony was no longer alive. All the peony flowers in the garden withered, and the purple Shizhi fell to the ground and turned into powder, leaving only a jade bone fan full of residual flowers in the dust.

Mei Zhenyi couldn't help but fall to the ground anymore, tears came out of her eyes, and Zhiyan also half-knelt down and hugged his head. Mei Zhenyi came from sadness and cried loudly in Zhiyan's arms. The cry could not be heard outside the small garden, the flowers and branches in the small garden withered, and the peonies outside Luoyang City bloomed in the mountains.

Since the crossing. Mei Zhenyi cried twice, the first time in front of the two armies, and the second time in the quiet garden, coincidentally Zhiyan was present. The first time Zhiyan came to save him, and he was fighting with Zuo Youxian, and the second time Zhiyan was already his Taoist companion, holding him in his arms. Tears had wet Zhiyan's clothes, and she persuaded softly: "Zhenyi." Don't be too sad. The white peony has entered the reincarnation. ”

Spiritual pursuit is to transcend life and death, and to see life and death thoroughly. But this does not mean that he is cold-blooded and ruthless! After all, he has not become an immortal, and even an immortal has a time to cry. There is not much personal relationship between men and women between him and Bai Peony, but there is such an inexplicable and inseparable concern. He also knew that the white peony still had an afterlife, and there would be a Fu Xiaoqing in the world at least 1,200 years later. But the more he thought about it, the more he couldn't stop crying.

It is inevitable that there will be places that cannot be seen through in the bureau, before he went to Kunlun to collect medicine, Qingfeng once said: "I knew that you would go, there may be some twists and turns, if you want to save the white peony, you can do your best, if you really can't do it, don't be too disappointed." "With Qingfeng's cultivation as his eyesight, he saw that the white peony geocentricity was more thorough than Mei Zhenyi's, and he had long expected this ending. Even the Zhiyan Fairy beside Mei Zhenyi may be able to guess that there may be this result.

But these people did not stop Mei Zhenyi's efforts to save Bai Peony, on the contrary, they were still trying to help. Deduction is only a means, not an end, and only by doing your best can you leave no regrets.

Mei Zhenyi cried in the garden all night, and he also figured out many things, but he was still sad and wanted to cry.

People's ideas will change, for example, Mei Zhenyi met He Yougu for the first time, just to want her to suffer as little as possible from illness in her lifetime. When the higher his cultivation, the higher his expectations, refining the Nine Turns Purple Gold Pill is expected, and he also began to want to change the furnace Ding for her. There is nothing wrong with this, but there is one point, no matter how great Mei Zhenyi's ability and means are, he is not omnipotent, he can only do his best in trouble.

Leaving Xiaoyuan the next day, he went to see his father with red eyes, Nan Lu Gong was also taken aback when he saw his son's appearance, and Zhiyan whispered to him: "The white peony is gone, Zhenyi is very sad." Mei Xiaolang didn't ask any more questions, but left his son to stay in the house for two more days, and went home every day to chat and drink with his son. Mei Zhenyi's mood has been very low.

They stayed in the Nanlu Mansion in Luoyang for about ten days, and before leaving, Nanlu Gong said to his son: "You are already over 20 years old, and you should give the word for the crown ceremony. ”

In ancient times, the crown ceremony was to have the presence of elders, and there was a ceremony to give words. Modern Chinese has been confused, but in tradition, "name" and "name" are two different concepts. Liu Boshu's protégé Di Renjie was in Beijing and also participated in Mei Zhenyi's crown ceremony. Give the word "put as".

After this ceremony, even if he can stand up as an adult on his own, the surname Mei Zhenyi is put as, because he once refused to be a court official, and at the same time he is a person who cultivates immortals, this word is still very appropriate. The words and names of the ancients are related, not taken casually, and Mei Zhenyi's name and words are from an allusion in "Chu Ci Fisherman".

After the crown salute. Mei Zhenyi and Zhiyan left Luoyang, walked outside the city, and saw the peony trees dotted in the mountains and fields, and he couldn't help but stop with regret. Zhiyan said: "Zhenyi, there are still two years before the flowers bloom, since you have stayed in Luoyang for these days, you should also go back to Wuzhou to visit your family, and then go to Kunlun Wonderland to pick up Bian." ”

Mei Zhenyi nodded and said, "It should be so." But I want to sit here all night. ”

Zhiyan: "Okay then, I'll accompany you." ”

They sat down under a bush of peony flowers, the evening breeze blowing through the flowers, and there was a faint fragrance in the mountains. When the sky was full of stars, Mei Zhenyi stood up and looked back and forth at Luoyang City in the distance. Zhiyan sighed and said, "Do you want to break into the palace?" Bai Peony begged you not to do this when he was leaving. ”

Mei Zhenyi: "I just feel panicked." I want to question Emperor Wu face to face. ”

Zhiyan: "If you can't break in with your cultivation, even if you can see the Martial Emperor, what do you want to do?"

That's right, Mei Zhenyi even saw Emperor Wu. What can you say? Do you say that Emperor Wu can't make an order to let Xiyuan flowers bloom? Or can't she degrade the peony out of Luoyang? Even if she shouldn't belittle, now that she has been pardoned, this kind of thing is very common as an emperor. Even if she is not an emperor, in terms of human law, how can she be investigated?

If there is something unusual, it is that there is a flower god white peony in Luoyang. The white peony limit has arrived, and it is not the responsibility of the Martial Emperor, but if this incident does not happen. The white peony may enjoy the end of the day, and the Luoyang peony is not extinct. The consequence of Emperor Wu's move is to let the white peony disperse in advance when the deadline comes, and let the peony flower break through the ground in the mountains outside Luoyang City. Emperor Wu may not know about many things, but Bai Peony knows but chooses for himself.

Mei Zhenyi thought about it, and always felt that something was wrong. As the emperor of the world, Emperor Wu has supernatural powers, and he is in charge of the artifact of the human emperor seal. With the divine power of the Holy Decree. The nature of one's actions has changed, and the actions of the world cannot be measured by the laws of the world. There was a hazy thought tangled in his mind. I couldn't figure it out for a while.

Zhiyan reminded on the side: "If you really want to go, you must not show your true face, otherwise it will affect your Mei family." ”

Mei Zhenyi subconsciously replied: "That's what I thought, so I left home and went out of the city first." As he spoke, he waved the Divine Whip, and the whip turned into white mist and took away a few peony flowers in front of him, and then the white mist rolled around him and retracted into his sleeve. Look at Mei Zhenyi's face with many weird patterns, even the clothes have changed, and the color of the clothes on her body is covered with petal-like lines.

Not to mention other people, even Zhiyan was almost unrecognizable, so she sighed and said, "What about me? ”

Mei Zhenyi: "You don't have to go. ”

Zhiyan: "Although I don't approve of you breaking into the palace to question Emperor Wu, if you must go, I have to go." If there is no Zidian and Qingshuang joining forces, you won't be able to escape by yourself when you want to. ”

"Amitabha, good, good! Although the two Taoist friends have the divine sword in their hands, they can't escape if they want to, and there is no difference between going to one person or going to the two, Mei Gongzi looks down on the Martial Emperor too much. Not far away, the sound of the Buddha's horn suddenly sounded on the hillside, and an old monk in gray came over while talking.

Mei Zhenyi and Zhiyan were shocked, and immediately showed the purple lightning and green frost swords, and looked at them fixedly, the person who came was an acquaintance, that is, the "sand monk" Zhixu who had been ordered to Jingting Mountain to be a god. Mei Zhenyi and Zhiyan didn't notice that there was anyone nearby when they were talking, because Zhixu's cultivation realm was far higher than the two of them.

As soon as Zhi Xuan saw them show off the magic weapon, his right hand swiped in the air, leaving a residual shadow of light, which changed into a crescent moon treasure shovel, stood still a zhang away with a shovel in one hand, and saluted: "Master Mei, we meet again, is this your authentic Monk Zhiyan Fairy?" The old monk did not intend to eavesdrop on your conversation, and he was passing by, and happened to hear the two of them wanting to break into the palace, and saw Mei Gongzi hiding and hiding, so he deliberately appeared to dissuade him. ”

Mei Zhenyi stepped forward and saluted back: "Master Zhixu, I don't want to encounter you here and now. I just had the idea of entering the palace, and I didn't have any rebellion, and I had nothing to do with anyone else. Now that the master has heard this, what does he think? Do you want to go to the palace at this moment to tell the truth, or do you just take me down here?"
