160 times, the peony garden whispered, and asked Xiaoqing outside Luoyang City

So there are a lot of rumors in Luoyang City, some people say that the white peony disappeared because of the robbery, some people say that the white peony eloped with the treasure and the lover, and some people swore that they saw the white peony leaving in a carriage outside Luoyang City, and there was a noble son in the car.

The results of Mei Xiaolang's secret investigation, the rumors are not credible, and the white peony disappeared so inexplicably. He immediately sent someone to Wuzhou to send a message to his son, although he didn't understand what was going on, but he felt the need to tell Mei Zhenyi. At that time, it was the early spring of the first year of the Tang Dynasty (689 AD).

Mei Xiaolang's message has not yet been sent to Wuzhou, and the fairy child Qingfeng has already gone to Luoyang, and entered the Qingjing Garden without alarming anyone, but in the garden, he met Mr. Sui, who arrived first. After Qingfeng returned to Jingting Mountain, he told Zhong Liquan and Zhiyan, who were waiting in the bamboo forest, that Bai Peony was hiding in the backyard of the Nanlu Mansion, but the situation was not good, and he and Mr. Sui had no other way.

At the Oiran banquet that year, Qingfeng and Mr. Sui were also there, and they each opened their mouths to chant poems and say a proverb. What Mr. Sui said was: "Such a fate can't be eliminated, and the poor dream is too hasty." And Qingfeng said: "Enlightenment is a fantasy, and it has worked hard in the world for hundreds of years." It alludes to the fact that it is difficult for the white peony to become a heavenly cultivator, but the tone is different.

Although Bai Peony knew that the identities of the two people in front of him were unusual, he was shocked at the time, but he was very calm afterwards, and told Mei Zhenyi a story about the fortune teller on the streets of Luoyang who would die. Mei Zhenyi also figured it out afterwards, the identity of the person who spoke was different, and it was inevitable that the perspective was different, in the eyes of Jin Xian, didn't the world have a dream in a hurry? Even if it was a person like Bai Peony, if he didn't succeed in cultivation, wouldn't he have worked hard for hundreds of years? Isn't it still alive, isn't it still cultivating?

This is how all beings in the world live, and the tone of these two people's speech, especially Mr. Sui's tone, made "people" feel very uncomfortable. But the two didn't come together in vain. Qingfeng left Zi Shizhi, Mr. Sui left a jade bone fan, Zi Shizhi can continue his life, the jade bone fan can cover his body, and the white peony may be able to help if he is in trouble in the future, which can be regarded as a follow-up method.

When something really happened to Bai Peony, Qingfeng and Mr. Sui went to take a look, but when they came back, Qingfeng said that the situation was not good, but they couldn't help it. Could it be that the quiet garden carefully prepared by Mei Zhenyi could not accommodate the white peony? Even the golden immortal said so. It seems that things are really difficult to handle.

Zhiyan told Mei Zhenyi what had happened, and finally said: "Qingfeng went, because he also intervened at the beginning, and the master knew that you would definitely go, so I will accompany you to Luoyang." ”

Mei Zhenyi was not surprised when she heard Zhiyan say that she wanted to go to Luoyang with her, so she took her hand and got up and said, "We will leave tomorrow and go back to Master first." ”

Zhiyan: "Master and Tiyo are on the top of the mountain. Let's go. ”

At the top of Chengshu Peak, Zhong Liquan waved a banana fan and said: "You go to Luoyang, I am here in Wuzhou." ”

Ti Yuzhuan also said: "You can go with confidence, there is still me in Wuzhou, and everything will be taken care of." In fact, I also want to go to Luoyang to meet the legendary white peony. ”

"You are indispensable for everything!" Zhong Liquan fanned Tiyo aside, and said to the two of them: "It won't take much time for you to go, if there is anything, go back to Wuzhou to discuss." ”

Mei Zhenyi and Zhiyan went down the mountain and left. Zhong Liquan looked at the direction they were leaving, sighed, and then floated over and asked, "Why did the Immortal sigh?"

Zhong Liquan: "I, an apprentice, have the best qualifications and understanding, but I don't act like a person who cultivates immortals. Regardless of whether it is or not, this is the fate of the sea that he has endured, and everyone has his own fate. ”

Ti Yu turned curiously and said, "Why can't I understand? Mei Gongzi wants to save Bai Peony." It was arranged several years ago, and it was well thought out. If this is also called a strong thing that cannot be done, then what can I say about Mr. Sui and Qingfeng leaving Zi Shizhi and Jade Bone Fan?"

Zhong Liquan drew a circle with a fan towards the empty valley under the mountain: "Look at this mountain full of grass and trees, and then look at the cycle of life and death of everyone in this world, I have Jindan Dao, can I make people who have no fate become immortals?...... Mr. Sui and Qingfeng are just casual fate, and they will not and cannot forcibly reverse life and death, but what I have to do in vain. It is to do everything possible to save the white peony. Even he didn't know if it worked. ”

Ti Yu asked puzzledly: "It's not wrong for Mei Gongzi to save the white peony?"

"Who said he was wrong? No one can say he was wrong!" Zhong Liquan's expression was unusually excited. Then he asked, "Do you know what immortals are most likely to hate mortals?"

"I don't know. ”

Zhong Liquan: "Mei Zhenyi will definitely try all kinds of ways to save Bai Peony, even if it is impossible to succeed at all, I know too well the temper of my apprentice." But Mr. Sui, Qingfeng, including me, all know that Bai Peony can't be saved, and he won't do it reluctantly, if he tells Mei Zhenyi clearly, isn't it annoying?"

Ti Yu was a little dazed, he didn't come back for a long time, and finally only said: "It's useless for you to tell Mei Gongzi, I'm just a little strange, that white peony is just a famous prostitute in Luoyang, and I have only met Mei Gongzi once, is there really any charm that fascinates Mei Gongzi? It's okay to charm Mei Gongzi, why should Zhiyan Fairy follow?"

Zhong Liquan amused it: "What kind of charm can charm my apprentice? When he was so young, I turned stone into gold to tempt, but it made him lose a lot! As for the origin of the white peony, it is indeed a bit strange, I believe that Zhenyi will explain it clearly to me after he comes back." ”

"Mei Gongzi has hurt you? I haven't heard of this, Shangxian tell me about it. "The spirit is coming again.

Zhong Liquan and Ti Chuan Zhuan, the immortal ghost, stayed on the Chengshu Peak. The next day, Mei Zhenyi and Zhiyan left Wuzhou and flew to Luoyang hand in hand, and left clouds outside the city to enter the city and went straight to the Nanlu Mansion. The people in the Mei Mansion were startled when they saw that the eldest young master suddenly came, and he brought a fairy-looking woman.

Nan Lu Gong did not return to the court, but Mei Gang knew Zhiyan, and hurriedly welcomed the two to the inner hall. Without too much gossip, Mei Zhenyi asked him to order all the underground people to exit the backyard and come to the quiet garden with Zhiyan.

This is a garden within a courtyard, and the scale is naturally not too large. It is only three zhang square, no one has come in for several years, it looks very desolate, there is a Fufeng tree in the southeast and northwest corners, and the ground is full of fallen leaves but there is not a single weed.

Mei Zhenyi said: "This garden is full of peonies, and there is a fairy circle to cover, you can't see it." ”

Zhiyan nodded: "I heard that Guanzi Bodhisattva once left a drop of pure dew, the magic circle of the Qingfeng Fairy Child's own hand, and the peony was planted by you." And the white peony has a jade bone fan with the gift of Mr. to cover her body, except for the three of them, only you can see her, I will wait for you here. ”

Mei Zhenyi: "No need, I have a way for you to enter the circle together." A bracer flew out of Mei Zhen's sleeve and buckled it on Zhiyan's wrist, and the figures of the two disappeared into thin air.

In the eyes of outsiders, the two of them have disappeared, but in fact, they are still standing there without going anywhere. At this time, the scene in the garden has changed, and there are peony bushes all around, which are very lush because no one prunes them. The branches have sprouted, and there are many small buds on the flowers, but not a single one has yet opened.

At first glance, the peony garden is very lush. But if you feel it carefully, it is obviously lacking in vitality. The white peony was wearing a long tunic skirt, the skirt was dragged to the ground, and a high bun was pulled. With the jade bone fan as the hairpin, he stood under a cluster of flowers and trees with Zishizhi in his hand, and his fair face had a strange redness.

Mei Zhenyi and Zhiyan suddenly appeared, Bai Peony raised her eyes, bowed and said, "Mei Gongzi, you are finally here, who is this girl?"

Mei Zhenyi: "She is my authentic companion Zhiyan." ”

Bai Peony looked at Zhiyan and smiled a little weakly. The words were said to Mei Zhenyi: "Mei Gongzi has such a fairy couple, why bother to be here with mercy?"

Zhiyan took the initiative to speak: "White Peony, you may have misunderstood, he is a descendant of the medical family and always has the heart to help the world, since he is fated to not be able to see you in trouble, he specially rushed to help." Your situation doesn't seem to be very good, and you and I have different practices, and it's hard for me to help you. But Zhenyi may have a way. ”

Mei Zhenyi: "Let me cut the pulse for you." ”

White Peony smiled bitterly: "I am a flower essence." Can you cut the veins of plants and trees?"

Mei Zhenyi: "My housekeeper Zhang Guo of Jingwu Villa is also the essence of Wumei, and I can also cut his veins." Sun Zhenren taught me the technique of self-preservation can cut the veins of spiritual beings in the world. ”

White Peony still shook her head: "I have no pulse." ”

Zhiyan looked at Mei Zhenyi with questioning eyes, Mei Zhenyi waved his hand, and the bracer that was buckled on Zhiyan's wrist just now flew out, and then buckled on Bai Peony's left forearm, and then his face sank, and blurted out: "White Peony, how can you be so weak?"

Bai Peony pointed to the surrounding flowers: "I am the flower god of Luoyang peony, where the peony in the city takes root, is where the vitality of my land is, and now only these three zhang square circles are left, how can I not be weakened? ”

Mei Zhenyi sighed: "Then why are you like this, aren't all the buds and flowers blooming in the West Garden?"

White Peony: "Do you know how those flowers bloom? It's not that the god of flowers serves his life, but that there are flowers and no gods." ”

Empress Wu ordered the flowers to open, is to transfer the earth's qi with the best force, and at the same time got the help of the emperor's seal, the flowers will open without gods, but Luoyang has a peony flower god, and most of the original bodies are not disturbed by this outside the Xiyuan earth. Theoretically, the white peony can also make the peony flowers in the West Garden bloom and please the Empress Wu, but she didn't do that.

She finally said: "Although I am in the dust, the god of flowers has the dignity of the god of flowers, and if I do that, it is not my cultivation." ”

Zhiyan nodded: "I can understand this, if it were me, I would choose the same as you." ...... Zhenyi, is there any way you can help the white girl?"

Mei Zhenyi frowned and thought for a long time: "It's not a way to go on like this, you should leave here." ”

White Peony: "You know that I can't do without it, and now only this small garden can accommodate me until the end of the year." ...... Mei Gongzi, thank you for building for me the last place in this world, under the roots of these peony trees, there are gold, silver and jade that I have accumulated over the years. I heard that Mei Gongzi built a dojo garden in his hometown, and the merchants gathered funds, as long as he took this money, it was enough, and it could be regarded as a little gratitude from a little woman. ”

Mei Zhenyi shouted softly: "White Peony, are you crazy? If you want me to pull up these flowers and trees to dig up treasures, do you still have a life? I am here to save people, not to seek wealth, how many pearls and jades in the world." I can't change your life!"

Bai Peony lowered her head, her shoulders trembled slightly, and her expression was a little like crying: "Today I finally understand that you are really helping me and asking for nothing else, but I don't understand why you are doing this? Is it just because of that Xiaoqing's story, I have already told you that I am not Xiaoqing." ”

Mei Zhenyi interrupted her: "Don't talk about this yet, it is difficult for you to recover from a serious injury at the moment, even if you move the flowers in this garden all over the mountains, not to mention that these flowers will wither when you leave the small garden." Unless you get out of the flowers. ”

White Peony: "Get out of the flowers? This is impossible, I am these peony flowers, the needle and stone decoction in the world are useless to me, and no matter how high your medical skill is, you can't cure me." The fairy child breeze came over, saying that I am in the situation at the moment, and even the Heaven and Earth Spirit Root Magic Method is useless. ”

"Zhenyi, what do you think this is?" Zhiyan asked, taking out a bunch of red coral fruits out of nowhere.

Mei Zhenyi glanced at it a few times. Suddenly surprised: "Immortals don't leave fruits, where did you pick them?" The thing in Zhiyan's hand was one of the several elixirs that were missing in the Nine Turns Purple Gold Pill, although Mei Zhenyi had not seen it with his own eyes, but Qingfeng had explained the physical properties in detail. Recognized at the moment.

Zhiyan: "You have searched everywhere but you can't find it, but you don't know that this elixir is around, and the place where it grows is not far from Jingwu Villa, in a mountain field by the Jushui River. ”

Mei Zhenyi took this string of immortals and left no fruit. Chong Bai Peony said: "I have a way to maybe cure you, I have been refining the Nine Turns Purple Gold Pill for the past few years, and now there is only a lack of two elixirs of the Pur Rayo Rama Flower and the Thousand Chinese New Year's Eve Ming Sand, and the Thousand Chinese New Year's Eve of the Ming Sand is in the Kunlun Wonderland Longkong Mountain, I heard you say that the Poro Rama Flower God also went to the Kunlun Wonderland, I will go to the Kunlun Wonderland to find it, if the Nine Turns Purple Gold Pill is refined, it may be able to help you get out." ”

White Peony: "Nine Turns Purple Gold Pill? How can it help me get out?"

Mei Zhenyi: "It is an elixir for cultivators to change the furnace ding." In that case, you may no longer be attached to the vitality of these peony flowers, and you will have a new furnace to get out. Your situation is special, and I can't say what the consequences will be, but you can always give it a try. ”

Zhiyan also said on the side: "This is also a way, although the consequences are unpredictable, but it is better than nothing." ...... It will take time to find the elixir and refine it into the elixir, white peony, you can still accommodate yourself in this quiet garden. Then wait here. ”

The white peony stretched out his hand to cover his face. I couldn't see what the expression was, and said softly: "The world has been reading for hundreds of years." Whether it is life or death, I am already waiting at the moment, and I can't leave this small garden. It's just that...... You don't have to be like this for me. ”

Zhiyan: "If it's not for you, Zhenyi also has to refine the Nine Turns Purple Gold Pill, if the Dan is more than enough, it is impossible for him to save you without this pill, so the white girl doesn't have to say that it doesn't have to." ”

Mei Zhenyi took back the demon king buckle, glanced at Zhiyan gratefully, and asked in a low voice, "When will I go to Kunlun Wonderland?"

Zhiyan: "I'll go with you, I'm not in a hurry to find people and collect medicine in these days, since you have arrived in Luoyang, you should still accompany your father for a few days." Then go back to Wuzhou to report to the master to settle everything at home, and then we will go to Kunlun Wonderland to take the Chinese New Year's Eve Ming Sha, and try to find the god of flowers in Bororoma. ”

Mei Zhenyi: "You're right, let's go see my father together, okay?"

Zhiyan shook his head: "You go first, I want to talk to the white girl alone here, and you will come back tomorrow to pick me up." ”

Bai Peony lowered his hand, raised his face and asked, "What does the Zhiyan Fairy want to talk to me about?"

Zhiyan: "I also want to hear the story of Xiaoqingdi, and the various kinds of land at the Oiran banquet, I don't ask Mei Lang but I just want to ask you." ...... Zhenyi, you go first, don't listen to my private conversation with the white girl. ”

The Zhiyan Fairy had heard about Mei Zhenyi's occupation of the Oiran in the Peony Workshop back then, but she didn't know the details of what happened. Today, I heard Bai Peony say the sentence "I have already told you that I am not Xiaoqing", Zhiyan also became interested, sent Mei Zhenyi away, and wanted to talk to Bai Peony alone. Although she is a fairy, she also has the thoughts of her daughter's family.

Zhiyan and Bai Peony stayed all night, and Mei Zhenyi didn't know what they said. The next day, Mei Zhenyi went to Xiaoyuan to pick up Zhiyan and saw Mei Xiaolang and everyone in the family again. Nan Lu Gong saw that his son brought back the Zhiyan Fairy to see him, of course, he was happy to close his mouth, and after two days in the house, Mei Zhenyi and Zhiyan returned to Wuzhou.

As soon as he flew out of Luoyang City to the clouds, Zhiyan asked faintly: "Zhenyi, who is the little green girl? Since you and I are Taoist couples, can you tell me the ins and outs of this story?"
