205 times, Xiao Shenjun threatened Wuzhou, and Di Liang Gong released Peng Ze

Zhong Liquan finally concluded: "Mei Danzuo and his people may be hiding in the wilderness of Kunlun Wonderland to heal, as for the Buddha Heart Relic he stole away, it may be hidden somewhere in the boundless Mysterious Fang Vast World, so Wei Tan, who guarded the Buddha Heart Relic in his previous life, cannot be found. ”

These two people are like they have discussed in advance, you and I complement each other, and deduce the whereabouts of Medanzo and the Buddha's heart relics. But this conclusion is not of much value, with the vastness of Kunlun Wonderland, if Medanzo deliberately hides it, it will be more difficult to find him than to find a needle in a haystack.

After hearing this, Mei Zhenyi thought for a long time, and said in a deep voice: "Maybe I know the origin of Mei Danzuo, and I can guess where he hid the Buddha's heart relics. ”

Qingfeng was slightly moved: "Oh, Wei Tan can't find it, but you can find it, tell me where the Buddha's heart relics are?"

Mei Zhenyi: "I'm just a little guess, I need to do some verification, and I don't dare to speak casually now." ”

Zhong Liquan and Qingfeng glanced at each other, their eyes were a little strange, as if they had done some private communication, and then turned their faces and asked Mei Zhenyi: "Disciple, how can you confirm it?"

Mei Zhenyi: "Don't say it, don't say it, at least wait until I achieve the Immortal Dao." ...... Master, can I ask you an old question?"

"But it doesn't hurt to ask. Zhong Liquan looked at his apprentice with a look of approval in his eyes.

Mei Zhenyi: "Mei Danzuo is not a disciple of Buddhism, how did he go to the immortal world of Buddhism?" This question is a bit redundant, the reason is that Mei Zhenyi does not know, Qingfeng is not a disciple of Buddhism, I think Mei Zhenyi saw Qingfeng go to the Putuo Mountain Dojo of Buddhism in the entry view.

Zhong Liquan didn't think he was asking too much, and replied very seriously: "It's very simple, first, one must have the cultivation of transcending life and death and entering the boundless mystical world, and second, you must have heard of Buddhism and understand the transcendent way of Buddhism's practice, whether you take refuge or not, and have something to verify in your state of mind. Medanzo knew Miaoyin Garan. You may have heard her explain the Dharma. ”

"As far as I know, Medanzo didn't hear about the Dharma from Myayin Garan, otherwise how could she have deceived her into taking herself to the Spiritual Mountain? He had heard about Nagarjuna's puja in the Bamiyan Valley of the Western Regions. Mei Zhenyi quietly threw out a "fierce material".

Qingfeng's face changed slightly, and he asked, "How do you know?"

Mei Zhenyi: "Legend has it that hundreds of years ago, Nagarjuna once preached on the upper, middle and lower grades of Huayan in the Bamiyan Valley, and cried three times at the wall of the skyscraper. At the time of **, there was a thirty-six-winged god listening to the lecture in the clouds. ...... I was once taken hostage by Zuo Youxian to Atami in the Western Regions, and I happened to hear the gossip of the foreign soldiers in the military camp about this matter. I don't know if it's true or not. ”

Zhong Liquan: "Folk word of mouth has been passed down to now, it is difficult to distinguish between the true and the false and the original face, if there is such a thing, then the god who listens to the law may be Mei Danzuo." ...... But this matter does not help to find this person now. ”

"The disciple understands, but solving this confusion will help to find the Buddha's heart relics in the future. ...... Qingfeng Fairy, I heard that the cultivation of the Moon Holding Fairy of the Nine Heavens Xuannu Palace has suffered a great loss. Your portable artifact was also left in the Nine Heavens Xuannu Palace because of this, how can I help her recover her cultivation as soon as possible?" Mei Zhenyi suddenly diverted the topic of Mei Danzuo and asked about another matter.

Qingfeng: "Then it depends on when you can refine the real Nine-Turn Purple Gold Pill, which is the Daluo Achievement Pill you said." ”

Mei Zhenyi shook his head with some regret and said: "There is no such ability now, and the way of refining medicine is not refined." It's that the cultivation realm is insufficient. I also want to ask Fairchild, when will I be able to break it?"

Qingfeng: "How many years have you been practicing?"

Mei Zhenyi: "Thirteen years. ”

Qingfeng: "Then let's come here for another twenty-three years, thirty-six years of cultivation to the end of the world's law and earth, which can be regarded as a speed of improvement." ”

Mei Zhenyi: "Can you calculate so accurately?"

Zhong Liquan interjected: "Qingfeng is not to extrapolate your cultivation. It's about deducing the chances you encountered, and how to cultivate is your own business, so is there any problem?"

Mei Zhenyi bowed and saluted: "Thank you Master and Xiantong for your advice, I have nothing else to do." ”

Zhong Liquan waved his fan and said: "You go back, someone will come to you soon, no matter what your future plans are, the things in front of you still have to be done well." ”

Mei Zhenyi said goodbye and left, and the yang god disappeared in place. After a long time, Qingfeng quietly said with a speechless Guanyin technique: "Your disciple's words are very good, the Yang God opened his mouth and issued it with divine thoughts, and all those in Wuzhou who heard the wisdom and supernatural powers heard it, including those who secretly snooped on him." ...... And you, who cooperated well with him, said everything he wanted to promote. ”

Zhong Liquan also said quietly: "He just wanted to use this question and answer to spread those words. He spoke. I knew the intention, after all, it was my apprentice. The conversation between the two immortals turned into a secret whisper in private at this moment-

Qingfeng: "Will he deceive people?"

Zhong Liquan: "You and I are both people who keep their promises. He is my heir, of course he can't cheat, but he must be scheming. ”

Qingfeng: "The first time I went out of the mountain three years later, I came to such a show, and it seems that his mood has not sunk in addition to being sad. ”

Zhong Liquan: "He Yougu is dead, it doesn't mean that Mei Zhenyi is stupid, he will never give up when he comes to his senses, and the most important thing this kid lacks is scheming, see how he uses it." In the past, he tried to avoid entanglement, and just wanted to practice in peace and stability, but today, he took the initiative to involve himself, lest he be implicated. ...... It seems that the tragedy in Hejiacun touched him a lot. ”

Qingfeng: "If he can't confirm the origin of Mei Danzuo, and he can't find the whereabouts of the Buddha's heart relics, but it is equivalent to killing all the immortals and Buddhas in the sky, this is not a small courage!"

Zhong Liquan: "He didn't say that he would definitely be able to confirm it, but he just said that it would be possible to confirm it after achieving the Immortal Dao." ...... Besides, after those events three years ago, can he have a good impression of the Heavenly Immortal Buddha? Medanzo is the first evil, but everyone who made the attack has a share, including you, and even himself, he not only wants to seek revenge on Medanzo, but also wants to trace the source of cause and effect. ”

Qingfeng sighed: "Although I did my best, I have no debt in my heart, but there is also a debt in what I do, after all, I did not guard the outside of Jingting Mountain." If he has a grudge against me, I will leave this place. ”

Zhong Liquan: "Why should Xiantong think so? He is dissatisfied with the Heavenly Immortal Buddha. It doesn't mean a specific person, and it doesn't mean that there is any complaint against you or about any bodhisattva himself. ”

Qingfeng: "He is ingenious, and he wants to destroy Mei Danzo first with all his heart, and then he will not have any scruples because of the whereabouts of the Buddha's heart relics." ...... It's right to think about it, what does the Buddha's heart relics have to do with him? He just wants to kill Medanzo!"

Zhong Liquan: "The Buddha's heart relics have nothing to do with you and me, and they have nothing to do with Mei Zhenyi. For Buddhist disciples, the Dharma is there, and the inheritance is there. It is equivalent to the immeasurable light shining on the spiritual mountain, but the symbolism is different. ”

Qingfeng: "If you want to kill Medanzo, you have to settle the rest of the matter, and the price is not small." ”

Zhong Liquan: "Mei Zhenyi is not afraid to pay this price, but he is not stupid, so he needs Da Luo Chengdan, to keep the Dharma Body Furnace of himself and the people he helps." ”

Qingfeng: "He still needs time to do his own thing, and he doesn't want so many masters to be involved intentionally or unintentionally." These twenty-three years are time. Can you deduce what Mei Zhenyi will have in twenty-three years?"

Zhong Liquan: "By the time he refines the Great Luo Achievement Pill, Zhiyan and Zuo Youxian have become immortals, Zhang Guo should not be underestimated, and the ten demon kings of Longkong Mountain have also become arm helpers." Among them, there may be a few people who have become immortals, and even that little ghost has been reborn to become an earth immortal. Qingyi Three Caves have been completed, and it is not so easy for anyone who wants to move him again. ”

Qingfeng: "You apprentice. It's really an outlier for thousands of years, you didn't think of it beforehand, did you? It was at this time that you could deduce so clearly, and I didn't know it very well a moment ago. But the deduction just now did not involve Mei Zhenyi himself, but he was afraid that the tree would be quiet and the wind would not stop. ”

Zhong Liquan: "It's that I can't deduce his cultivation clearly, and he is always in chaos, and Mr. Sui must have felt this way back then." So I left the mirror of the demon. ”

Qingfeng: "You will also become a golden immortal, if you have something to tell Mei Zhenyi to explain, then go back to Qing Xiu, go through the transformation of the heavenly tribulation, Wuzhou has me, and I will live in the town for the time being." ”

"Thank you Xiantong Di Ji Yan first!" Zhong Liquan stood up and waved his head, blinked his eyes and said again: "Back then, you left Wuguanzhuang and played Kunlun Wonderland. is also a person who is not afraid of poking a hole in the sky. ”

Qingfeng spread his hands: "Yes, it's a pity that I don't even have the golden hit now." ”

Zhong Liquan said that someone came to find Mei Zhenyi. Qingfeng said that the tree wanted to be quiet but the wind did not stop, and it was not long before someone came to the door. also carried a letter from Mei Xiaolang and another elder, this elder was Peng Zeling Di Renjie, who had just been demoted from Luoyang. Mei Zhenyi, the person who sent the letter, had also seen it, and it turned out to be the bangs that had fought Jin Toad outside Pengze City.

Zhang Guo and Xingyun Shi have not yet returned, and Zuo Youxian has not yet rushed to apprentice, why did Zuo Youxian's outcast Liu Hai come to the door with Di Renjie and Mei Xiaolang's handwritten letters?

After Emperor Wu ascended the throne, the things to be done have changed, the previous primary task was to remove all obstacles on the way to the throne of the dynasty, now that the wish has been realized, the primary goal has become to rectify the government and consolidate the country. Either wearing a dragon robe and sitting on the throne is the emperor, nor is it holding a knife to make people obedient to sit firmly, Emperor Wu knows this well, although she is a woman, but compared to many emperors in history, she is an excellent politician.

The appointment of cool officials can purge the political enemies of the DPRK and China, but it cannot govern the country and bring peace to the peace, and after some purging of the former ministers of the DPRK and China, it is urgent to promote a number of middle- and upper-level officials who are truly capable of governing the country. Emperor Wu in the first year of longevity (692 AD) changed the Yuan Jiaen, issued an edict to the world to recommend talents, all the recommended people are assessed and talented, regardless of the original background.

In later generations, some people said that Wu Zetian loved talents, and some people said that Wu Zetian was promoted regardless of the foolish and virtuous, in fact, this was a screening process in the early years of her ascension to the throne, and there were many upstarts in and out of the court, and some people were quickly eliminated. It has always been rare to be handsome and good-looking, and some people stand out, recommended by Mei Xiaolang, and Emperor Wu appointed Di Renjie as the local official and the servant of Tongping Zhangshi, and entered the cabinet to worship the prime minister.

Where there are people, there are rivers and lakes, and the same is true in the court, and today's courtiers can be mainly divided into four factions: one is the martial family, represented by Wu Chengsi and others, no matter who comes to power, this aspect of the force is indispensable. The second is the meritorious deceased ministers, represented by Mei Xiaolang and others, who are an important force in maintaining the stability of the country. The third is a group of cool officials, represented by Junchen and others, who were the tools of Emperor Wu to purge political enemies. Fourth, a group of newly promoted ministers who govern the country, represented by Di Renjie, are the basis for consolidating their rule and governing the country.

Among these four factions, there is a lot of collusion between the samurai relatives and the cool officials of the court, and there are also all friendships between the meritorious ministers and the newly powerful ministers. There is a rivalry between each other. Lai Junchen and the sons of Zhuwu were very dissatisfied with Di Renjie, the new powerful people in charge of the central government, and always wanted to get rid of them according to the usual way of dealing with political enemies, but they did not know that the situation had changed.

In the first month of the second year of longevity (693 AD), Junchen took the lead in attacking as soon as the New Year came, fabricating charges to involve Di Renjie in a rebellion case, accusing him of colluding with the same party to oppose Zhou Futang. and implicated the courtiers Ren Zhigu, Pei Xingben, Pei Xuanli, Lu Xian, Wei Yuanzhong, and Li Sizhen.

There is a clause in the "Tang Law" that "those who admit to the contrary will be commuted to death if they ask a question", which is "leniency in confession and strictness in resistance", and the crime can be reduced by one degree if you take the initiative to admit guilt. When Lai Junchen interrogated, Di Renjie said very simply without waiting for the torture: "It's true." ”

He pleaded guilty, and Lai Junchen asked him how to collude with the courtiers to rebel, Di Renjie asked rhetorically: "Lai Jun said that I am against it, and if I don't oppose it, I am also against it, so why bother? As for how to rebel." It's hard for you to wait. ”

When the others saw Di Renjie say this, they also pleaded guilty, and only Wei Yuanzhong opened his mouth to argue. When Lai Junchen saw this situation, he could not ask anything and could not move the punishment, so he could only take them into custody. Wei Yuanzhong was tried alone, and there is no need to mention the torture.

As the weather got hotter, Wang Deshou, the judge who visited Di Renjie in prison, sent his cotton clothes back and asked his family to remove the cotton wool and replace them with jackets. And the secret letter of redress of grievances is sandwiched in cotton wool. Di Renjie's son Di Guangyuan got the blood book and went to the court to sue him, and the blood book fell into the hands of Emperor Wu.

Emperor Wu ordered Zhou Lin, the general secretary, to inquire, and Lai Junchen handed over the confession of Di Renjie and others written by himself, and said: "The minister has not been sentenced, and Renjie and others are comfortable in prison, if there is no ghost in his heart, why should he confess to rebel?"

At the right time. Mei Xiaolang entered the court, and Emperor Wu handed him the confession and Di Renjie's blood book, and asked: "What does Nanlu Gong think about this, why did Di Renjie confess his guilt first and then secretly write the blood book?"

Mei Xiaolang knew that this martial emperor was easy to say anything, that is, he hated people the most and rebelled, so he immediately replied: "If you let the Junchen ask questions, no one in the world is not a thief, Your Majesty is wise." Why don't you ask in person? Not a person's handwriting. Seeing that Emperor Wu was silent, he said again: "Your Majesty is a wise king. knows the way to govern the country, Di Renjie can be the prime minister, and can the likes of Junchen be the prime minister?"

Emperor Wu recruited Di Renjie and other seven people into the court, and interrogated them face to face, Di Renjie and others cried out together, Emperor Wu asked them why they retracted their confessions, Di Renjie replied: "If this is not the case, how can there be a chance to see the light of day again?"

Emperor Wu personally asked that there was no evidence for the rebellion, and ordered them to be allowed to go home. Lai Junchen's conspiracy failed to go to Wu Chengsi to discuss, Wu Chengsi launched a joint concert with the same party in the DPRK and China, and invited Di Renjie and other seven people, and the court was very happy to fight for land. Qiu Guanlang Zhongxu Yougong couldn't look past it, and went out to play: "Your Majesty has a good life and great virtue, and Junchen and others can't be beautiful, and persuade Your Majesty to be a tyrant, what does it mean?

Emperor Wu said: "Don't argue, I have my own opinions." He immediately announced his retirement from the DPRK.

The next day, a decree was issued in the palace, and all seven people involved in the case were demoted out of Luoyang, and Di Renjie was demoted to Peng Zeling. Soon after, he issued an edict to remove the position of the left minister of Wu Chenghe, the king of Wei, and the turmoil was calmed down, but the Liang Zi of Di Renjie and Wu Chenghei was completely settled.

Before Di Renjie left Beijing, he went to the Nanlu Mansion to bid farewell to Mei Xiaolang, and Mei Xiaolang comforted him: "Your Majesty will release you, it is a talent to cherish the king, and now the dispute between the court and China is fierce, this is also a move to save your life." Let's go to Haozhou, and wait until the court is settled, I expect that Your Majesty will recruit you to return to the court. ”

Di Renjie: "Your Majesty knows my intentions, let me leave Beijing to save my life." As the saying goes, if you don't fight a snake, you won't die for fear of future troubles, and in Beijing, Wu Chenghei and Lai Junchen and others will not let me go. But when I went to Pengze, it might not be easy. ”

Mei Xiaolang said with a smile: "Brother Huaiying, why do you compare yourself to a snake? If someone in Peng Ze secretly makes trouble, you can go to Xiao'er Zhenyi for help, he is a cultivator, and he has some means." ”

On the way to take up Peng Ze, Di Renjie encountered many robbers and killings, but fortunately, the guard Li Yuanzhong was superb in martial arts and escorted Di Renjie to Peng Ze all the way. After arriving in Pengze, he was still not at peace, and the county government was often disturbed at night, and all the things that came were goblins and ghosts, and he knew all kinds of magical spells, and Li Yuanzhong was also injured.

Di Renjie ordered an investigation, but he heard that someone had spread rumors in the Pengze area in advance, saying that Di Renjie was going to demolish the obscene shrine here and eradicate the witch style. As mentioned above, the land of Jingchu has been prevalent in witches since ancient times, especially in the area of Pengze in Haozhou, there are many obscene shrines between the mountains and wilderness, worshipping all kinds of spirits, Mei Zhenyi had encountered it when he traveled.
