In this way, a practitioner should not only save his own body, but also observe all things in the world. All kinds of past lives are actually the experiences of all beings in the world, the experiences of different eras, different worlds, and different identities. Mei Zhenyi said with emotion.

Zhong Liquan's eyes lit up: "Yes, your words actually broke the meaning of 'previous life'." ”

Mei Zhenyi: "What did the master say, is this what the so-called 'previous life' means?"

Zhong Liquan's eyes widened: "Then what do you think is the purpose of cultivators talking about 'past lives'? is to look at all living beings in the world, not only in previous lives, but also in 'future lives'. ”

Mei Zhenyi: "Master, don't always stare at me. ”

Zhong Liquan: "It's not okay not to stare at you, you are very smart and can figure out a lot of things and truths, but the words that can be said are not really confirmed in practice." ”

Mei Zhenyi: "My cultivation is still far from being supernatural, but when I hear what Master says, I am not afraid of this test at that time." ”

Zhong Liquan glared at him again: "No one will be afraid of cultivating so far! The key is whether you can get by." ...... Zhiyan has been wandering in the past three years, and he is looking at all things in the world, otherwise he will not be able to break through the pass and achieve supernatural transformation, so it is a test and a blessing. ”

Mei Zhenyi: "Master, do you think Zhiyan will be in danger?"

Zhong Liquan: "Nonsense, it's in danger." ”

Mei Zhenyi: "Can you help her?"

Zhong Liquan: "I can't help now, I have to rely on her, we can only let her not be disturbed, what the master can really do is to ignite her breakthrough, and if she fails in the tribulation, she will try to remedy it." ”

"What's the name of this catastrophe?" Mei Zhenyi's worried expression was overflowing.

Zhong Liquan: "Before the Heavenly Punishment, the number of calamities in the world of cultivation varies from person to person. So there is no name, I heard that you like to name it, so let's make a name. ”

Mei Zhenyi thought for a while: "To borrow the words of Buddhism, how about calling it 'Bitter Sea Tribulation'?"

Zhong Liquan stroked his beard and said, "Delusion, vacuum, sea of suffering...... The names you have given to these spiritual calamities are very vivid and appropriate, so that's how they are called. ”

Mei Zhenyi: "Such a simple thing, why was it unknown before?"

Zhong Liquan: "It's not nameless, it's nameless." Each sect has different sayings, and each person's experience is also different, such as the vacuum tribulation, it is difficult for Mei Yi, but it is very easy for you, this trip to the Danxia faction has been exhausted, and there is no sense of deliberateness at all. The prayer whip is sent and withdrawn, and the calamity is over. This also has to do with the fact that you rarely rely on supernatural mana to act on weekdays. ”

The implication of this dialogue between master and apprentice is that Mei Zhenyi has passed the test of the "vacuum tribulation". Mei Zhenyi smiled bitterly: "Master doesn't look at who I deal with? I can't compare to relying on supernatural powers! This calamity seems to be easy, but in fact, the difficult part is not when I do my work." ”

Zhong Liquan smiled and said, "This is the beauty of the world's cultivation calamities, which varies from person to person. Although it is a natural calamity, it is also called a human calamity. Disciple, let me ask you, if Zhiyan knew that going to the Danxia Summit with you would be the result. If she goes back in time again, will she go again?"

Mei Zhenyi: "I think she should still go, and what she does is what she wants." ...... Master, if we talk any longer, it will be dawn, don't you still want to teach the Fa?"

Zhong Liquan habitually waved his fan and struck him: "Stinky boy, you are asking this and that, and you are urging me...... Now I will pass on the recipe of 'Nine Turns Golden Pill Zhizhi', and I can pass it on in an hour." But there are still a few words to be made clear in advance, you should shut up and listen, and you are not allowed to interrupt again. ”

Mei Zhenyi is already a real person, who has just experienced a vacuum catastrophe, and at this time, according to the concise words of the doctor, he has entered the path of rebirth. However, Zhong Liquan wanted to teach him the "Nine Turns Jindan Zhizhi" mental method and mantra, but it started from the beginning of cultivation and foundation building, and ended with Jindan Dacheng. The world's canonical transmission of the heart method is only a real person. Further up the practice is often a combination of one's self-realization and the enlightenment of the teacher.

"Nine Turns Jindan Zhizhi" has nine levels of realm. They are: Yiyangsheng, Ladder to the Sky, Yuanshenxian, Sanhuaju, Yaoguiju, Shenqihe, Hualu Ding, Jiuhuanzhuan, Zijindan (Dacheng Zhenren). Mei Zhenyi already has the realm of Dacheng real people, and Zhong Liquan can directly make a heart seal. Passing on all the mental methods and mantras at one time is different from teaching ordinary disciples.

Zhong Liquan told Mei Zhenyi that just like the vacuum tribulation, he should ignore that he was already a real person for the time being, and began to practice the "Nine Turns of Jindan Zhizhi" from the foundation building, which corroborated what he had learned before. Don't be anxious and complacent, don't worry about the calamities you have experienced before, and the realm of confirmation should be fast.

On the one hand, Zhong Liquan's learning was different from Sun Simiao's, and he hoped that Mei Zhenyi's foundation would be more solid so that he could continue to teach the Fa. On the other hand, there are very few people with Mei Zhenyi's experience and qualifications, Zhong Liquan hopes that he can be inclusive, and in the future, he will not only be an immortal master, but also a generation of grandmasters. - But Zhong Liquan didn't say this sentence in his heart.

When the glow rose in the sky, Zhong Liquan had finished teaching the Fa, got up and said: "The Dan Jue has been passed on, I want to go to Taigao Peak to help Donghua Gate dig Taigao Spiritual Realm, this is not a day's work, if you have something, go to Taigao Peak to find me." ...... By the way, can Master ask you something?"

Mei Zhenyi: "Master has something to do, why use the word 'ask', even if he tells him." ”

Zhong Liquan looked a little embarrassed: "To dig a cave in the world, it is not enough to only have the mana of the immortal family, and the manpower, material and financial resources required in the world are also very large, which is a little difficult for Donghuamen." ”

Mei Zhenyi: "Master doesn't need to say more, please wait here, the disciple will come when he goes." He walked into Qiyun Temple.

After the time of the two pillars of incense, Mei Zhenyi returned to Qiyuntai and said: "There are five hundred taels of scattered gold here, of which one hundred taels is Princess Yuzhen's filial piety to your old man, three hundred taels is the Mei family's income when Zhang Guo disposed of the war last year, and the other one hundred taels are misappropriated by me in the family assets." Although the Mei family in Wuzhou is rich, they can only take out so much at one time. ”

Zhong Liquan smiled: "I will accept Princess Yuzhen's money, I understand the girl's thoughts." Zhang Guo took your private money, and I was emptied. As for the last 100 taels of gold, you haven't been in charge yet, so it's not appropriate to embezzle such a large amount of family assets, right?"

Mei Zhenyi: "I heard that the imperial court has sent a decree that the Qincha has set off. I will soon arrive in Wuzhou, this time not only will I enter Beijing, but also a reward of one hundred taels of gold, and I will make up for it when the time comes. ...... This money is already a huge wealth for ordinary people, but the scale of the ether prison peak to dig a cave heaven dojo is probably far from enough, master and go, let the disciple think of a way. ”

Zhong Liquan: "You take out so much at once. I am already very grateful for being a teacher. The construction of the dojo cave heaven and earth is the work of the disciples of the past generations for hundreds or even nearly a thousand years, and you can't be counted on alone. ”

Mei Zhenyi: "If you can think of a way, you can think of a way, in short, try your best, Master doesn't have to worry about me." ”

On the third day after Zhong Liquan left, Empress Wu sent Di Qincha to arrive, a monk with the Dharma name Zhi Xu. This Zen master is a disciple of the five ancestors of Zen Buddhism, Hongren. Some people may not have heard of his name, but he has two junior disciples who are very famous, one is Beizong Shenxiu, and the other is the Sixth Ancestor Huineng. If you haven't even heard of these two, then Zhixu before worshipping under the Hongnin. There is another master you must know, it is Tang Seng Xuanzang.

Zen Master Zhixu does not cultivate the body, and his appearance looks similar to his actual age, and he is an old monk who is too old. His eyebrows are already half white, his eyebrows are kind and peaceful, and he always smiles when he speaks. But looking at him walking, sitting and lying, he didn't show the slightest old state, Mei Zhenyi's first impression when he saw him, he felt that this old monk's cultivation was beyond his own calculation.

Empress Wu sent Qin to Wuzhou this time, not only to preach the holy decree but also to announce the decree, so he sent such a Taoist monk.

Led Wuzhou Assassin Shi Meiyi led Wuzhou officials. and the captain Mei Zhenyi, who received orders in Wuzhou Mansion. The queen of heaven issued an edict to reward Mei Zhenyi with one hundred taels of gold, a jade belt, and two pearls, and choose a day to enter Beijing to face the saint. Mei Zhenyi had known about these news for a long time, but unexpectedly, there was another holy decree that she didn't know in advance.

When the queen heard that Cuiting'an had flown into the city overnight, she was very happy, thinking that it was a bodhisattva's manifestation, and she made another holy decree. It is said that there are only nunnery nunnery in Wuzhou City, but there is no temple for monks to practice. Zen Master Zhizhi built a temple in the blessed land in Wuzhou City, and the royal pen inscribed "Jiulin Zen Temple".

Zen Master Zhixu is responsible for site selection, supervision, and recruiting monks to make offerings. Before the abbot of the new monastery is not selected, Zen Master Zhixu will temporarily take the abbot of Jiulin Monastery, and the Wuzhou government should fully cooperate. It seems that Zhixu will not be able to go back for a while and a half, at least for a year and a half in Wuzhou.

After the decree was delivered, the officials got up, greeted the Qincha and took a seat, offering tea and chatting. Mei Zhenyi asked for Mei Yi: "May I ask the master, you are building the Jiulin Zen Temple in Wuzhou City, where do you want to choose the site, and what do you need me to do?"

Zhixu: "This matter is not urgent, Wuzhou has beautiful mountains and rivers and extraordinary terrain, I want to investigate the mountains and rivers nearby for a few days, and then choose a site in the city." ...... However, the old monk wanted to ask Mei Gongzi, although the holy decree did not limit the time for you to enter Beijing, but it is not good to be lazy, please ask when you plan to leave. ”

As soon as these words came out, Mei Zhenyi was secretly surprised, this high monk not only cultivated unfathomably, but also proficient in feng shui and earth lines. Build a temple in the city, why go to the mountains and rivers outside the city to investigate, others may not understand, Mei Zhenyi is an expert who knows the mystery when he hears it.

The temple can be different from ordinary buildings, often has the effect of calming feng shui and earth, it depends on who built it, how it was built, I don't know what impact it will have on the Jiulian Mountain leyline Lingshu? Thinking of this, Mei Zhenyi replied: "The order should have set off immediately, but the master's affairs in Wuzhou and my Mei family should also try their best to help, and I will leave when the master chooses a blessed site." ...... By the way, the master still has a decree to enshrine the god of Jingting Mountain, when will the altar be opened?"

Zhixu: "It's okay at noon tomorrow, please make a little preparation in Wuzhou Mansion, and the old monk will go by himself, and there is no need to be accompanied by many people for such rituals." I heard that Jingting Mountain is the Mei family's industry, and the Green Snow Shrine is also established by the Mei family, so I invite Mei Gongzi to also be there. ”

Mei Yi instructed: "The master declares the decree to seal the mountain gods, and does not want to be disturbed by the laity, so all the colleagues here do not have to go tomorrow! ”

The proclamation of the decree to seal the mountain god has never been seen before, and the officials of Wuzhou want to go to the ceremony, but Mei Yi opened his mouth and ordered to prevent everyone from going with official authority, and all the officials present were disappointed, but Mei Yi didn't care about everyone's dissatisfaction.

The Empress Wu is really the ground, what kind of Jingting Mountain God is a good one? Lu Xue is okay to say, but Mei Zhenyi has already given Jingting Mountain to the fairy child Qingfeng to make a dojo. Although Qingfeng didn't say anything after knowing the news. But if Zhixu was announcing the decree in the mountains, the breeze appeared and caused any chaos, it would really not end well, so I had to be cautious.

On the same day, a vegetarian banquet was set up in the post house to entertain the Qincha and the accompanying monks, and after the banquet, a quiet courtyard was arranged for the Zhixu Zen Master to rest. At nightfall that day, Zhixu was preparing to rest, and Xiao Shami came to report: "Master, Wuzhou Commander Mei Zhenyi asks to see you." ”

Zhixu smiled slightly: "Sure enough, it's here." Say back, and I'll go see him. ”

Mei Zhenyi was waiting in the front hall, only to hear the sound of footsteps, Zhi Xuan walked in in a plain monk's robe, he hurriedly stepped forward: "Visiting late at night, disturbing the master's rest! There are some things that are inconvenient to say in the state capital today, so I have to explain to the master in private." ”

Zhi Shu smiled and waved his hand: "Don't be polite, the old monk knew that Mei Gongzi would come." Are you here to become a god tomorrow? Please sit down and talk slowly. ”

After taking a seat, Mei Zhenyi got straight to the point: "The master is a master of the Tao, there is no need to hide some words, Jingting Mountain is my family's property, and I have given this mountain to a fairy child as a dojo." When the gods are sealed tomorrow, if that fairy child appears, don't be surprised. ”

He kept watching Zhixu's reaction as he spoke. The old monk kept smiling and did not look surprised, nodded slightly and replied: "Before entering the city, the old monk once looked at Jingting Mountain from afar. The clouds are extraordinary and unpredictable, there should be a master of the immortal family stationed there, I thought it was green snow, but I didn't expect it to be someone else, what is the origin of this person?"

"Smell the drunken mountain breeze. When Mei Zhenyi said these five words, he saw that Zhi Xu was slightly startled, and he asked, "The master has also heard of this person?"

Zhixuan: "It's not that I've heard of it, but I've seen it." At that time, there was also a bright moon fairy child by his side. ”

This time it was Mei Zhenyi's turn to be surprised: "Yes, yes, Mingyue is also in Jingting Mountain, it turns out that the master and them are old acquaintances?"

Zhixu: "I had a meeting many years ago, and since they are here, I just happened to go to visit them after finishing my business. Mei Gongzi rest assured that the old monk was ordered to seal the mountain god this time, not to embarrass anyone, nor to seize anyone's private land. You will give Jingting Mountain to Qingfeng to settle down. It has nothing to do with the old monk's business. No matter who is the god of the mountain, Jingting Mountain is still your home place. ”

Mei Zhenyi: "In that case. You can rest assured in the next place, master, please rest early. Tomorrow afternoon, I will greet the Dharma at the Green Snow Shrine of Jingting Mountain. ”

In the first year of the Tang Dynasty, on February 15, at noon, in the valley south of the main peak of Jingting Mountain, in the open space outside the gate of the Green Snow Shrine, the ceremony of "the mountain god was sealed" was being held. The Green Snow Shrine is not large and the space is limited, so the altar is placed outside the door, and the sight passes through the open double courtyard, and the statue of the Green Snow God can be clearly seen after standing on the altar.

In February, on the open ground in the bamboo forest, naturally lay down a layer of withered yellow bamboo leaves, it is very dry and plain and clean without special sprinkling, there is a clear spring flowing out of the mountain rock behind the shrine, passing through the bamboo forest, the mountain breeze is slight, the sun casts a mottled and swaying bamboo shadow in the open space, based on here refreshed.

Mei Zhenyi didn't look at the scenery, he stood behind Zhixu and kept looking at the statue of the green snow, and he could sense that the green snow didn't come. If the main lord is not present, what is the significance of this "god sealing ceremony"? It is just a secular ritual, so a holy decree is enough, why should a monk like Zhixu come to hold the ceremony in person?

Zen Master Zhixu didn't pay attention to what Mei Zhenyi was thinking, and didn't seem to care whether there were gods attached to the statue, and held the ceremony step by step. Unfold the "decree" of heaven and earth to read, and then cast a spell to hang the decree on the altar, wave the sleeves of the robe, and incinerate it with the power of true fire.

The decree was written on the yellow silk with a red pen, and when lit with a real fire, it emitted a pure golden flame, but there was not a trace of smoke or ashes. As soon as the decree began to burn Mei Zhenyi, he suddenly felt that something was wrong, because his divine sense sensed that Lu Xue was "coming".

It wasn't the green snow that appeared, but the statue suddenly "opened up", and the green snow consciousness attached to it. It seems that Zen Master Zhixu also summoned Lu Xue when he ignited the decree of the law, and directly let her sit on the altar, his technique is much more clever than the "Summoning Ghosts and Gods" technique that Mei Zhenyi can perform.

Even more amazing things are still to come, with the burning of the decree, Mei Zhenyi can sense that the spiritual qi of the mountain is actually moving, converging towards a certain place, this place is not the Green Snow Shrine, but an unknown place in the deep mountain valley. Mei Zhenyi reacted suddenly, that should be where the Green Snow Plain took root.

When the decree is burned out, the ceremony of "the mountain god is enshrined" is over, and the earthly qi spirit of this mountain has completely converged in the green snow original body, corresponding to the earth divine consciousness in which she is attached to the god statue, and it is inseparable! What does it mean? To put it bluntly, at this time, the earth green snow has become a real mountain god, and this mountain is her mountain god dojo!

Mei Zhenyi was dumbfounded, not only him, but even the fairy child Qingfeng, who was standing on the top of the mountain and looking at the valley, suddenly had a look of surprise on his face, and he looked dumbfounded!
