After the order, Mei Zhenyi secretly rose a wave of anger in his heart: "This surname Lu is too much, Sun Simiao has worked tirelessly to treat me for twelve years, and he has never coveted anything...... It is not satisfied to occupy a Taoist temple and half of Qiyun Peak in vain, and now as soon as he opens his mouth, he wants the three mountains in Qingyi Lake, and uses the guise of accepting apprentices. ...... really treat me like an idiot child, I want to eat me and the Wuzhou Mei family in one bite, but I don't know that I am also an old Jianghu, if you really play tricks, maybe who will play whom. ”

scolded in his heart, but on the surface, he pretended that nothing had happened. Mei Zhenyi heard that the three mountains are indeed a treasure land, rich in all kinds of rare medicinal materials, and the Qingyi Lake surrounding the three mountains is the most abundant aquatic area in Wuzhou, with abundant fish and crab fat year after year. Lu Daochang's mouth is such a big appetite, Mei Zhenyi is of course not happy to see through it. Sun Simiao's reminder is right, no matter what kind of master Lu Chunyang is, what kind of immortal path he cultivates, for Mei Zhenyi, it depends on how he deals with people.

As for learning immortal arts, Mei Zhenyi is still a little tempted, after all, the person who heard the name is likely to be the legendary Lu Dongbin, so let Mei Yi go to find out the details. If Lu Chunyang is really an immortal, then it is not too late for Mei Zhenyi to have other ideas, anyway, he is not short of eyes.

Not long after, Mei Yi reported: "Young Master, I looked carefully, that Dao Master did have a bit of cultivation. ”

Mei Zhenyi waved his hand, asked the others to step back, and asked quietly, "Just look at it, how high is his cultivation, and how is he compared to the housekeeper Zhang Guo?"

Mei Yi smiled: "I'm afraid it's not as good as Zhang Guo, it's easy to show the bottom if he is not enough, if he is really a master of the immortal family, I can't see the details with my eyesight." ”

Mei Zhenyi asked again: "In this case, he is even worse than you, I mean the hand-to-hand fighting method." ”

Mei Yi: "He is a cultivator, if he is in the cultivation realm, he may not be weaker than me, but if he really does it, as long as he does not prepare any strange spells in advance, I am sure that I can subdue him within a few times as soon as I make a move." ...... Young Master, what do you mean by asking this? Even if you don't want to agree to his request, just find an excuse to prevaricate, there's no need to do anything to him, right? After all, the cultivation of a superior person has a transcendent status, and he has no evil deeds, and it is not a wise move to openly confess crimes. ”

Mei Zhenyi: "Uncle Yi is too worried, I just want to know in my heart, and I don't necessarily have to do anything, let's delay this matter first, and wait for the New Year." "Before the end of each year, Jingwu Villa will send Qi Yunguan the next year's offering of one hundred taels of silver, and Mei Zhenyi also wants to see with his own eyes what is going on with the three mountains that Lu Dao people want to occupy?

In front, Zhang Guo entertained Lu Xianren and his servants for lunch, and finally sent him away. Not long after this group of guests went out on the front foot, Zhang Guo was relaying today's detailed conversation to Mei Zhenyi in the small courtyard, and a servant came to tell him that there was a woman in front of the door, who wanted to see the housekeeper Zhang Guo by name.

The doorman who reported the news was a seventeen or eighteen-year-old boy, and when he spoke, he looked at Zhang Guo with a strange expression, and Mei Zhenyi asked: "If a guest comes to report, what are you doing?"

The little servant hurriedly said: "Young master, you don't know, I have never seen such a beautiful woman, I almost thought it was a fairy who descended to earth, and the eyes of the people in front of the door were straight." She was invited to come in but did not come in, but stood at the door, and asked the housekeeper to go out. Steward Zhang has been in the villa for all these years, and I haven't heard of him having any dealings with girls outside, so everyone is very curious. ”

Zhang Guo was also puzzled and asked, "Who does that woman say she is?"

Xiaowu: "I said it, I call myself Green Snow, from Jingting Mountain." ”

Zhang Guo's color changed when he heard this, and he waved his hand and said: "I know, I'll go right away, you guys do your own errands well, and no one should chew your tongue!"

After the doorman left, Mei Zhenyi saw Zhang Guo's expression was different, and couldn't help asking, "Butler, what's wrong with you?"

Zhang Guo hurriedly bowed down and said: "There are no outsiders here, the old slave doesn't dare to hide it, that green snow is not human, but a tea tree spirit that has grown for three hundred years in Jingting Mountain." ”

Today is really lively, yesterday just finished talking about the fairy goblin, in the morning Lu Xianren came to the door, and in the afternoon the tree spirit Luxue came to visit again. Mei Zhenyi rubbed her temples and said, "In this way, this Lu Xue is your kindred, and it's normal for her to look for you if she has something, why is it wrong to look at your expression?"

Zhang Guo: "The young master doesn't know, that Lu Xue incarnated into a spirit fifty-one years ago, it was because the Guanzi Bodhisattva appeared on Jingting Mountain, and he got this blessing by chance." ...... She is different from me, rooted in Jingting Mountain, moisturizing things and turning rain into the world, I have never heard of her walking out of Jingting Mountain in the past few decades. Suddenly coming to Jingwu Villa today, there must be something big happening. ”

Mei Zhenyi was also curious: "Then why don't you go quickly, listen to what's going on?" As long as you want, you can help as much as you want." If it has anything to do with our Mei family, then come back and tell me. ”

In the book, it is implied that what is the origin of this green snow? Speaking of which, she also has something to do with the Cuiting Nunnery in Jingting Mountain. Fifty-one years ago, Guanzi Bodhisattva somehow drove to Jingting Mountain, and was accompanied by a fairy child, who sprinkled a drop of pure dew with a willow branch in the Bodhisattva's bottle, and saved an ancient tea tree in the mountain that was about to die. This tea tree has this blessed fate, and it also realizes that it has become a spirit, and the incarnate woman is named Luxue.

When the Bodhisattva was about to leave in the mountains, he was seen by a group of woodcutters and immediately bowed down to worship. The Bodhisattva saw that he would no longer hide it, and the colorful Qingyun and the Baizhang Dharma Body appeared on Jingting Mountain, and all the people of Wuzhou shook and bowed. Later, Liu Boshu, the owner of Jingting Mountain, built Cuiting Nunnery, which was dedicated to the Bodhisattva of Guanzi, and the incense continued throughout the year. Lu Xue has been practicing in the mountains and has not entered the world, but Zhang Guo, who is also the essence of Wumei, has been taking care of the Jiushan industry for the Mei family, and he knows Lu Xue.

Zhang Guo greeted Jingwu Villa, and there was a woman in green standing outside the door, she waited quietly with an indifferent expression, as if she was blind to the curious eyes of the people in the villa. She looked to be in her early twenties, her complexion was like snow and jade, there was not a trace of flaw or the slightest bit of human fireworks, she was holding a high bun, and her bright yellow hairpin was decorated with jasper pendants. She has a slender figure and a beautiful face, standing there from a distance, looking close, looking close, the grass and trees in the winter outside the villa seem to add vitality, like the charm of the painting.

Zhang Guo saw her and hurriedly stepped forward: "Fellow Green Snow Daoist, if you have something to do, why did you go out of the mountain in person? Since you are here, why don't you go in?"

Lu Xue glanced at the gate of the villa: "The message is afraid of the catastrophe, so I came in person, Jingwu Villa has the aura of immortals and the aura of killing, and I dare not trespass when I am still shallow." ”

Zhang Guo: "There are indeed masters in the village, but it doesn't matter to you, please come in and talk." ”

Lu Xue: "I see, no wonder the ghosts in the city are not allowed to enter, and I am relieved." You don't have to go through the door, just talk here, and please leave the crowd behind. ”

Lu Xue was reluctant to go in, Zhang Guo was not reluctant, ordered the people to retreat into the door, Jingwu Villa closed the door, and saw that there was no one around, Zhang Guo cast a spell to cover the left near to prevent the sound of conversation from leaking, and then asked: "You just said that the ghost servants in the city want to enter Jingwu Villa, why didn't I notice it? What happened?"

Lu Xue: "Looking at this place, the complexion cannot be avoided naturally, and the demons and ghosts are served by the masters of the Left Dao, so it is naturally not easy for you to detect." ”

Zhang Guo was taken aback: "What did you say? There are Zuo Dao masters who make ghosts and gods spy on Jingwu Villa, who is so bold?"

"I only know that this person is doing things on the Flying End Peak, driving ghosts and gods, and what he is planning is not only Jingwu Villa, what he does will harm the lives of Wucheng. The Jingting Mountain where I live is the land of the Mei family, and the mountain is full of creatures to recuperate here, and I have to come to the door to inform when I hear this disaster. Lu Xue's expression has always been calm and without fireworks, but when she opened her mouth, she said something earth-shattering.

What is the big thing that can alarm the green snow that is not inhabited?

The person Lu Xue said is called Ming Chongyan, a Yanshi from Luozhou, who has Taoist skills to summon ghosts and gods, and is famous for his supernatural powers. Tang Gaozong summoned the officials, and the tired officials were promoted to the doctors and entered the cabinet to worship. This person is good at drilling camps, in recent years, the authority of the court has fallen into the hands of the harem, and he welcomes Queen Wu in everything and is his confidant. The emperor and the queen moved to the eastern capital, and the crown prince Li Xian stayed in Chang'an, which was fine, but Empress Wu wrote books such as "Filial Piety Transfer" and "Shaoyang Zhengfan" to the prince, and the book was quite reprimanded. How could the queen write the book herself, it was nothing more than instructing a group of henchmen to compile it, and Ming Chongyan also participated, knowing that the queen had other ideas in her heart.

The crown prince Li Xian, who is dignified and intelligent, has never forgotten when he was a child, and has acted very assertively, since the unexplained death of his brother Li Hong, he is the most suitable candidate to inherit the great cause of Li Tang among the princes. But Empress Wu didn't like him, or didn't like a very assertive prince to inherit the throne in the future. And the crown prince Li Xian is also quite dissatisfied with the queen's autocratic power, and the mother and son have a disagreement, and something will happen sooner or later.

So Ming Chongyan said to Empress Wu: "I am a master of physiognomy, and the prince is blessed and unbearable to inherit the national body, and the British Wang Zhe and the Xiang Wang Dan are similar to their fathers, and one of the two sons can succeed to the throne." He recommended the other two sons of Empress Wu, Li Zhe (also known as Li Xian) and Li Dan, who were different from their elder brother in that their temper was very similar to that of their father Li Zhi, who was very afraid of introspection and had no opinions. Ming Chongyan also saw that the prince the queen wanted was not the future generation of Ming Jun, just an obedient puppet.

Empress Wu moved the idea of Yi Chu, but the prince is known as a virtuous person, and there is no fault in his actions, and there are still a group of old ministers in the court who support him, and there is no excuse to abolish him, and he can't say anything in front of the emperor. Ming Chongyan took the initiative to ask Ying to go to Chang'an to inspect the prince's behavior, in fact, it was to find fault and find a fault so that Empress Wu would have an excuse to abolish the prince. Empress Wu nodded and ordered him to go west to investigate secretly, and act secretly when he saw the opportunity. Since ancient times, it is very dangerous to participate in the abolition of the establishment, but the benefits are also great, once the success is widely implicated, there will be more oil and water in it.

Ming Chongyan came to Chang'an, for a while did not find evidence of the prince's immorality, this day on the outskirts of the city on the hill to watch the East Palace Yunqi, the more you look at the more you feel that the emperor's qi has moved to Luoyang, it seems that he followed the Empress Wu to abolish the prince's choice is wise. At this time, the divine thoughts flickered as if they were disturbed, and when they looked up, the clouds in the south seemed to be a sacred birth, and the estimated location was in the Wuzhou area.

As mentioned earlier, at the same time, a boy named Qingfeng in Zhongnan Mountain also said to the girl Mingyue next to him: "I watched the sudden change in the clouds in the south from afar, and the world's spiritual centers gathered in Sidi, I don't know where the sacred world is, but there is a faint heavy killing atmosphere, like the emperor star and the killing star, and they are all plausible, so mysterious." (See the end of chapter 18)

That Ming Chongyan's cultivation is far inferior to that of Xiantong Qingfeng, and it can only be seen that there are extraordinary people born in Wuzhou, which may be the arrival of the emperor star, the reincarnation of the fall of the immortals, the birth of the holy child, etc., and he moved his selfish intentions at the moment, leaving Chang'an and secretly sneaking south into Wuzhou. Ming Chongyan came to Wuzhou to make an unannounced visit but did not know the essentials, the reason mentioned earlier was that he was looking for a newborn baby, and the change in Wuzhou's cloud qi was because Mei Zhenyi woke up, and Mei Zhenyi was twelve years old at this time.

But Ming Chongyan heard that Mei Xiaolang, the Marquis of Nanlu, was from Wucheng, and his eldest son Mei Zhenyi had been an idiot in Jingwu Villa in Wuzhou since he was a child.

If you want to get rid of the prince without leaving any troubles, the best way is to frame the prince for rebellion, but there are also masters in Chang'an City, and Ming Chongyan can't do anything by the prince's side, so he can only think of other ways. The Holy Emperor moved the eastern capital to stay in Chang'an, and the appointed Chang'an Stay-behind and Auxiliary Minister of the East Palace was Mei Xiaolang, if Mei Xiaolang was framed for a successful rebellion, he would definitely be able to hook up with the prince. Today's saint is gentle and generous, but he hates rebellion the most, and if the prince is implicated in the usurpation case, he can't care about the relationship between father and son.

How could Mei Xiaolang rebel? Ming Chongyan had his own vicious methods. He inquired that Mei Xiaolang's brother-in-law Liu Zhi was the governor of Ningguo County, and was also in charge of ordnance procurement, so he did it on the Feiqian Peak, gathered mountain spirits and ghosts, and made them steal a batch of heavily armored crossbows from the Ningguo County armory with the method of five ghosts, and then enforced the ghosts and gods to try to hide these prohibited materials quietly in Jingwu Villa.

Mei Zhenyi is just an idiot child who has just woken up, what is he doing with his private weapons? It must be that his father Mei Xiaolang has different ambitions. As long as the things are hidden, Ming Chongyan will appear openly again, and the edict of the Empress Wu will lead the Wuzhou officials to raid Jingwu Villa, then the evidence of the crime of rebellion will be confirmed. Then he went down the vine and found out that the prohibited ordnance came from Liu Zhijian and stole it, and others had to believe it if they didn't believe it.

Ming Chongyan thought it was very beautiful, but Jingwu Villa had the real Sun Simiao and the murderous master Mei Yi in charge, and the evil retreated, and the mountain spirits and ghosts he enlisted were so low in mana that they did not dare to enter, so the plan to plant the sham had not yet succeeded. Ming Chongyan came to Wuzhou from Chang'an on the ninth day of October, and he didn't know that Sun Simiao was here, nor did he know that Mei Xiaolang sent Mei Yi, the most powerful general.

Ming Chongyan did more than this one bad thing, he saw that he couldn't get hold of Jingwu Villa for the time being, and he hadn't forgotten where he came from, and other bad water came out. He also enslaved the ghosts and gods, and ordered them to steal all the babies born on the eighth, ninth and tenth days of the tenth month in the Wuzhou City area. He hadn't heard of the reactionary saying of the later generations, "I'd rather kill a thousand by mistake than let one go", but that's what he did, and since he couldn't find any clues to the birth of the holy child, he simply arrested all the suspects.

There is a tea tree essence green snow in Jingting Mountain, which has been rooted in Si for 300 years and has been practicing spiritually for more than 50 years. Of course, she is not as good as the master of the Left Dao, but the green snow was on the verge of withering fifty-one years ago, and it was revived by the pure dew sprinkled by the willow branches of the Guanzi Bodhisattva, and the spiritual root was pure and unstained with yin and evil. Ming Chongyan summoned ghosts and gods on the Feidu Peak of the adjacent Jingting Mountain, and the unique green snow in the surrounding area was not called by him. Naturally, she would not provoke Ming Chongyan, and she would hide her aura in the mountains from being discovered by him, but Ming Chongyan made the ghosts and elves do those things Lu Xue knew.

At the beginning, Ming Chongyan made the ghosts steal a batch of supplies, and wanted them to be quietly sent to Jingwu Villa, but he was unsuccessful. Lu Xue didn't understand so many complicated things in the world, and didn't care too much, and later Ming Chongyan forced the ghosts to steal the babies born in the Wucheng area, such a hurtful behavior Lu Xue couldn't stand it, and began to suspect that this person had another vicious conspiracy against Jingwu Villa.
