Zhang Guo got up first, helped Xingyun up, coughed and lowered his head and said, "Xingyun, Xiantong's words are very clear, ......what are your plans?"

Xingyun interrupted him: "I want to pay tribute to my parents, and I also want to pay tribute to Chu Henan Gong." She has changed her name to Chu Suiliang as Chu Henan Gong, so the parents in her mouth refer to Liu Hong and Yin. Liu Hong died in prison and didn't even know where the tomb was, and the Yin family committed suicide in Chang'an, Chu Suiliangke died in Lingnan, and Xingyun wanted to go to pay tribute, I am afraid that this road will have to go a long way.

Zhang Guo: "I really want to go with you, but the young master punished me for being a gardener in Songju for half a year and chiseling a cave garden." ”

Xingyun: "I'm not in a hurry for half a year, since you and I are Taoist couples, I will accompany you to build a cave garden here, and after half a year, you will ask Zhenyi to travel far away, okay?"

When the two spoke, they were only a foot away from each other, but they both lowered their heads and looked at each other's toes, Xingyun's tone was very light and light, and listening to Zhang Guo's ears was tantamount to a heavenly sound, because of the sentence "You and I are Taoist couples". Zhang Guo's wish was actually a fait accompli, of course, he couldn't wait to agree to Xingyun's request, and he almost jumped up with joy, wanting to hug Xingyun and cheer loudly, but he only replied softly: "Okay." ”

Xingyun and Zhang Guo chiseled and built the Dongtian Garden together, and half a year later they were going to travel far away to pay tribute to Xingyun's parents and Chu Suiliang, Mei Zhenyi was of course happy, called Zhang Guo to congratulate him, and asked him to do one thing. He asked Mei Yi to get a marching atlas of the Guanzhong area, pointed to a place and said to Zhang Guo: "Elder Zhang, if you pass by the south bank of the Yellow River and go here by the way, I will ask you to buy this place and reclaim the countryside." ”

What is the place where Mei Zhenyi wants to buy? It is the valley where the Chuxi and Zuxi flow into the Meigong River, that is, the original location of the Mei family before the crossing, in the Tang Dynasty. It was still a wooded wilderness. Zhang Guo is a loyal old family member of the Mei family, and he nodded without asking a superfluous word, and he will do it seriously.

Mei Zhenyi also explained. All the costs of building the pastoral field are withdrawn, and they are designed by the Xingyun Master. Without further ado, after Xingyun and Zhang Guo traveled around and returned to Qingyi Three Mountains, they did not live in Tingsongju to receive guests, but lived together in the Baibao Grass House where Zhang Guo usually practiced, and Xingyun had a separate courtyard. And after Master Nebula came back, she had already grown up—she was still vulgar.

Mei Zhenyi wants to buy the wilderness around the Meigong River Valley. It doesn't cost much, mainly because of the cost of building gardens and cultivating fields, but it is far from breaking the cost compared to the chiseling and construction of the three mountains of Qingyi. Mei Zhenyi's purpose in doing this, on the one hand, was to have a special affection for his hometown 1,300 years later, and on the other hand, he also wanted to give Zhang Guo and Xingyun Shitai, who had taken care of his elders since childhood.

Zhang Guo and Xingyun both have the ability to fly to the sky and the sea of suffering has been experienced, and it is very easy to fly to and from the sky to supervise the construction of the countryside. After the pastoral was completed, Mei Zhenyi went to see it, and at this time, he couldn't see the scene of crossing the former Mei Jiayuan, and Xingyun Shitai designed it according to the pattern of a private manor. There are houses on a hillside surrounded by Umerlin, and gardens, farmland, and fish ponds in the fields between two streams. Many tenants and servants already lived, forming a small village.

The location of the master's house in Wumeilin is exactly where the small courtyard of Mrs. Mei was located back then. Mei Zhenyi sighed secretly and didn't say anything. Zhang Guo said on the side: "Young master, the scale of the countryside here has been completed, and it is another industry of the Mei family outside Wuzhou, who will the young master send to take care of the business?"

Mei Zhenyi smiled: "Elder Zhang." I can tell you about it today. This property is a congratulatory gift from me to you and Nebula. Don't shirk. My parents weren't around me when I was a child. It's you who take care of the place where you grew up. Nebula is also my enlightenment teacher. It's nothing at all. ”

Of course, Zhang Guo excused himself. Mei Zhenyi insisted that he accept it. In the end, he gave an order in the tone of the young master. Zhang Guo had no choice but to obey. Mei Zhenyi said again: "This is the place where An Xingyun was built. I think you'll be satisfied. In the future, if you stay bored in the three mountains of Qingyi. You can also go to your own countryside to relax. I can also be a guest. ”

Zhang Guo and Xingyun got a pastoral industry. And they planned and built it with their own hands. Naturally, it was overjoyed. Zhang Guo is not often here. I begged the young master for a favor. Transfer Mei Wu to be the big housekeeper here. Mei Zhenyi agreed. This is also a peripheral foundation of the Mei family. The owner is Zhang Guo.

Stay until the first year of longevity. Emperor Wu appointed Di Renjie as the assassin of Weizhou. The area around Pengze has long been calm. Liu Hai also came to Qingyi Sanshan as promised, met Mei Zhenyi, and returned the golden black and black wood sword. Mei Zhenyi smiled when she saw him: "Zuo Youxian should have explained it to you." I want to take you as a disciple. If you wish to be ordained, come to my door. This golden ebony sword can be regarded as a teacher's gift. ”

Bangs certainly do. Kneel down on the spot with the teacher's salute. A few days later, the official introductory ceremony was held. He is a disciple of Mei Zhenyi. It is located in the Five Lakes Villa. Liu Hai asked Master for advice on how to practice. In the past few years, his cultivation has become more and more profound. But I always find it difficult to go further. Mei Zhenyi did not pass on the Dan recipe first. Instead, he was taught to refine the toad light dissipation. And with the toad light scattering to lead the bangs into the delusional realm.

Several times in and out of the delusional realm. The bangs are also broken. Mei Zhenyi taught him the twenty-four cave heavenly pill recipe from scratch. Confirm the gains and losses with the previous practice. He was very satisfied with this apprentice. Zuo Youxian cultivated in Kunlun Wonderland. Every three years. Bring some fairyland, heaven and earth treasures to come to meet to show the number of courtesies. Mei Zhenyi also gave back a lot of elixirs.

During this period of time, there was another thing in Wuzhou, that is, the Nestorian Christians wanted to build a temple, named Jingfu Temple.

In the Tang Dynasty, all religions in the world were popular, and this place in Wuzhou was lively enough, first there was Cuiting Nunnery into the city, and then there was Jiulin Zen Temple to build a temple, and now even Jingjiao also came. The construction of this temple is nominally an edict, but the government only allocated a vacant land in the city, allowing believers to build the temple on their own without allocating money and food.

Nestorianism is a branch of Christianity, which is somewhat different from the three major denominations of Catholicism, Orthodoxy and Protestantism, and is even called heresy by traditional Christians, until 1994 when the Catholic Church officially withdrew the heretical name of Nestorianism.

The founder of this sect was Archbishop Ristori of Constantinople during the Northern and Southern Dynasties, who advocated that Christ had "two natures and two natures and two oneness". The most distinctive interpretation of traditional Christian doctrine is about Jesus and his mother Mary, Ristori believes that Mary gave birth to Jesus only in mortal flesh, and Mary is only the biological mother of Jesus but not the Virgin, and Jesus was inspired by God, guided by the road to heaven, awakened the power and virtue of God in his heart, and became Christ.

This explanation is interesting. Think of it as an ancient Reformation, and then the idea that everyone can receive God's call with reverence and answer Christ's call. Awaken the power in your heart and open the door to heaven for eternal life.

This is not substantially different from the fundamental doctrines of the Christian denominations, but his exposition of the duality of Christ, man and God has been denounced as heretical by other denominations.

Ristori was dismissed as archbishop, but the sect spread to ancient Persia and from Persia to the Tang Dynasty. Zhenguan years. There is a Jingjiao monk Aroben with Jingjiao scriptures to Chang'an dedicated to Li Shimin, Taizong was very happy with this "four Yi guest clothes" move, ordered to build a national Jingjiao Temple in Chang'an, later called Daqin Temple. At that time, Chang'an was definitely the world's largest metropolis, the center of economic and cultural integration, and there were many people from the Western Regions who did business or lived in Chang'an City, including many Nestorian Christians.

During the reign of Wu Zetian, the Wu family worshiped Buddhism, and there were many disputes between various religions, and Jingjiao was also impacted. At this time, there was a Nestorian monk who was also a wealthy merchant in the Western Regions. His name was Arosha, and he raised a huge amount of money to build a scripture building in Luoyang City and engraved the Gospel on it. And engraved with "the Mandate of Heaven to the Great Zhou" and other praise words, named "Great Zhou Song De Tianshu". At the same time, he enshrined the ancestors of the martial arts family who had been posthumously crowned by the Wu clan in the Jingjiao monastery.

Emperor Wu Fengyan was delighted, and issued an edict affirming the legal status of Jingjiao and allowing it to build temples in the seat of each state capital.

The Empress Wu worshiped Buddha and was known to the whole world, and Jingjiao wanted to gain political status. There have been subtle changes in the packaging of many doctrines and in the way they are preached. For example, it does not object to the worship of ancestors. You must know that in a powerful country where filial piety is the priority, if you preach that you can only worship God and not your ancestors, you will be stoned to death by a bunch of villagers with hoes when you preach in the countryside, and the government may not care.

On the other hand, the biggest change in Nestorianism is that it has made a similar packaging to Buddhism, for example, the Nestorian monks also call themselves "monks", and they also eat vegetarian food like monks, and the dojos they cultivate are not called churches but "temples", and the translated classics also absorb a lot of traditional Chinese philosophical terms. At the same time, it also borrowed from the authentic Taoist scriptures that were circulating at that time. For example, the title of "God" is "Aroha Great Heavenly Venerable".

Modern people can do all kinds of research on the Nestorian teachings and how to become "hereticals." However, the common people of the Tang Dynasty did not know this, and only knew that this was a kind of Hu religion spread from the Western Regions, preaching the great heavenly venerable Aroha and saving the suffering Christ, believing that it could be redeemed and go to the kingdom of light. The so-called "jing" is the meaning of light in Chinese.

This change in packaging and in the way of preaching was a change of skill in the circumstances, and it was necessary to preach to the common people who could not read a word and had never heard of Christ in a way that they could understand and accept.

However, from a bystander's point of view, although the school of Nestorianism is different from today's Catholic school, its doctrinal core has not changed, it is still God is the only God, believe in me for eternal life, obey the call of Christ to be redeemed, and sin will be punished by hell. At least in the eyes of "God", there is no substantial difference in their beliefs.

During the Zhou Wu period, Jingjiao was in various state temples, and naturally came to Wuzhou. To build a temple, you must not only have land but also money, and monks can turn their fortunes into fate, and Jingjiao monks will engage in fundraising. If you want the people to believe and be willing to pay money, you must first preach and preach, and follow the local customs, which is also called the Nestorian Puja. During this period of time, the Jingjiao Festival in Wuzhou City was very lively, many ordinary people came to see the strangeness, and there were many small merchants and vendors carrying burdens and pushing carts to do business nearby.

Among these small traders and vendors are also fruit sellers, and among them is a beautiful and dignified Miss Guan. The dojo of Gyeongbokgong Temple is in the northwest corner of Wuzhou City, a high slope clearing, on this day, Mei Zhenyi and Zhiyan also changed into casual clothes, mixed in the common people to watch the Jingjiao puja. At a glance, they saw Miss Guan who was setting up a stall outside the venue to sell fruits, and there was a young man standing behind the fruit stall, looking at the temporary podium with an indifferent expression.

This young man is Fairy Child Qingfeng, he didn't speak, but he could guess that he might be communicating with Miss Guan in private. Mei Zhenyi was slightly surprised to see them, and the Golden Immortal and the Bodhisattva also had the leisure to join in this excitement? It's normal to think about it, didn't Mei Zhenyi and Zhiyan also come? Moreover, this is the same as the "competition shed" of the Jianghu people, and it is impossible for the Guanzi Bodhisattva in the Wuzhou Municipal Dojo not to come to see who the other party is.

There was also a big man in coarse cloth clothes standing in the crowd, who turned out to be Wei Tan, the boatman. Looking around carefully, Mei Zhenyi now has several people that his divine sense can't easily peep on. He hadn't seen it before, and it seemed that there were a lot of high-ranking people from all walks of life.

With so many high-ranking people coming to a not-so-remarkable puja, it seems that the person who came to the altar to speak must be quite remarkable. Maybe there is an earth-shattering cultivation power. Mei Zhenyi was thinking to herself, and heard the sound of gongs and drums on the stage, which was a signal that the festival was about to begin, and the people in the audience were quiet, and some people were still doing the salute with their hands.

"If there is no desire and no action, then there is no seeking and no action, and if there is no seeking and no action, then you can be pure, and you can be pure. If you can understand and prove, you will be able to understand and prove, then you will be able to shine all over the light, and you will be able to live in peace. Around the podium, more than a dozen Nestorian believers began to chant sutras, according to the ritual of the puja, which is the mat scripture for the person to be greeted on the altar.

After Mei Zhenyi heard this, she was a little confused, and remembered the funny "mantras" such as "East please Dongshuo, west please West Shuo" when He Xiangu ascended the altar.

At this time, this passage of scripture recited by the Nestorian Christians has nothing to do with the "Bible" that Mei Zhenyi understands and the relevant Christian scriptures, and some of the words seem to be adapted from the Taoist "Tao Te Ching", and some seem to be borrowed from the "Diamond Sutra" and "Great Light Sutra" of Buddhism. He thought for a moment. I smiled with relief.

This is not really a serious scripture, but it is just a means to compile such a passage and read it out. It seems to integrate the scriptures and meanings of Buddhism and Taoism, ordinary people usually hear about it but seem to understand it, and they can fool people, and the atmosphere seems to be unfathomable, which makes people unconsciously awe - the means of the rivers and lakes are baskets, and anything can be loaded into it.

In a mysterious and solemn atmosphere. The preacher took the stage to preach, this is a man about forty years old, with a Chinese character face, Zhou Zheng, and a very tall figure, wearing a trimmed robe with brocade silk hanging on his chest, looking lively and a little majestic. Mei Zhenyi was slightly taken aback when she saw this person, and couldn't help but glance at Zhiyan.

They don't know this person, which is not strange, the key is that this person does not see any abnormalities in his divine consciousness, which is not the same as the feeling he feels when he sees the breeze and the golden immortal and bodhisattva. Mei Zhenyi's divine sense couldn't spy on the breeze. As long as the breeze reins in the spirit. He couldn't even sense the presence of Qingfeng and see this person. I couldn't detect the fluctuation of his aura either.

But the man on the stage, Mei Zhenyi's divine sense can sweep over him, and the other party is standing there, you can't see anything different from ordinary people, and you can't detect any peculiarities and flaws. If you meet him somewhere else, you will not attract special attention and vigilance. Could it be that this person's cultivation is higher than that of Qingfeng, and he has already reached the realm of thorough Taoism and nature?

Seeing Zhiyan's eyes, she had exactly the same reaction as Mei Zhenyi, and she didn't see any abnormalities in the people on the stage.

At this time, Ti Yuhuan came over from the crowd and said with a divine thought: "Mei Gongzi, I inquired, the person who will meet today is actually a local from Wuzhou, his surname is Jiang ......."

The man on the stage is called Jiang Quanju, Chinese New Year's Eve and 7 years old, a native of Nanji County, Wuzhou, who followed his merchant father to the area outside Yumen Pass since he was a child, mainly doing business with people from the Western Regions, and also believing in Jingjiao. The Nestorian wanted to establish a temple in Wuzhou, and he volunteered to return to his hometown to preside over it, and felt that it was profitable with the smell of a merchant.

For example, Jiang Quan's first batch of "believers" in Wuzhou Zhan was his hometown, such as three aunts, six mothers-in-law, seven uncles and eight uncles and other relatives, and dragged these people to Wuzhou City to set up an opening ceremony to collect Dharma meetings, and preach while collecting donations. This Jiangquanju has recently accepted a few concubines, and if he said anything, he would take refuge in Aluohe Datianzunyun

Tiyo muttered for a long time, and then went to inquire again. Mei Zhenyi secretly shouted: "There are a lot of immortal masters here today, if you can't spy at will, you should stay here honestly and listen to this Mr. Jiang." ”

He talked about two "scriptures" today, one is "The Legend of the King of the West and the Barbarian Wilderness", and the other is "The King of Horses Says the Gospel of Saving Suffering". If Mei Zhenyi is not mistaken, these should be the "Exodus" in the Old Testament and the "Gospel of Matthew" in the New Testament.

But Jiang Quanju said it well! The mouth is like a river wonderful, with a storytelling style of subdued and frustrated, no wonder so many ordinary people are willing to come to see the excitement, more popular than the monk's lectures, almost all the stories can be understood without much brain. After finishing the scriptures, Jiang Quanju appealed emotionally on the stage: "What to dedicate to you, Aroha Great Heavenly Venerable!"

Then someone held a small bamboo basket and began to raise donations around the field, and the people also paid money one after another, Wuzhou is rich and the people are simple, and the story on the stage is so exciting, even if you listen to the commentary, you are embarrassed not to give a reward, not to mention in the name of "Arohe Great Tianzun".

There were several people who held small bamboo baskets to collect money, and one of them walked around in a relatively large circle and walked to Miss Guan's fruit stall. Qingfeng didn't know what to say to Miss Guan secretly, Miss Guan smiled slightly and took out half of the copper coin, gave half of it to Qingfeng, and when the person who collected the money came over, they each put down two hundred and fifty Wen.

These two people gave a lot, and the aunt who received the money stopped and said excitedly: "Pious and loyal people, Arohe Tianzun will definitely bless you...... As long as each of them offers 500 texts, they can be baptized with holy water and bathed in the glory of heaven, which is more effective than the pure bottle of nectar of the Bodhisattva who is at ease. ”

Guan Xiaomei's face did not change and she couldn't see her joy and anger, but Qingfeng looked at the sky, and waved her sleeves indifferently, which clearly meant that she was saying: "The reward has been completed, don't be too talkative." ”

When the person who was holding the basket and collecting the money left, Qingfeng took out a piece of gold ingot and threw it to Miss Guan, and Mei Zhenyi saw this scene in her eyes. It turned out that Qingfeng borrowed change from Miss Guan as a reward, and then returned her a gold ingot. Where did Qingfeng get the money? I think that Mei Zhenyi found Wei Tan in order to thank him, and left three hundred taels of gold in Jingting Mountain.

This fairy boy has also learned to go into the city to spend money, but it is really rare for him to spend money like this, and he is unwilling to put the gold ingot in the basket, so he used it to exchange it for two hundred and fifty copper coins to Miss Guan as a reward. That gold ingot was worth at least 25,000 wen, and Miss Guan accepted it without saying anything. Mei Zhenyi was pondering these two masters, the festival over there was not over yet, and it opened again - summoning miracles!

Jiang Quanju re-ascended the stage, reviewed the various miraculous deeds of Christ in the "King Ma Said the Gospel of Salvation", and finally said: "Fellow villagers, as long as you awaken the piety and loyalty to the Great Heavenly Venerable in your heart, there is no miracle that cannot be created, and no suffering cannot be overcome. ...... Keep your eyes open and witness the miracles together!"

"I almost thought I was choreographing! Mei Zhenyi, you take your time and watch the excitement, I'm leaving. Mr. Sui's voice suddenly sounded in his ears, Mei Zhenyi turned around and looked at it, but there was no one, presumably he had left.
