Chapter 102, Jin Xian is still a guest at home, so why should the master preside over profits?
Chapter 102, Jin Xianshang is a guest at home, why not?
One sentence reminds the dreamer! Since Princess Yuzhen wants to become a monk, why do you have to be a nun? It’s okay to be a female crown? There is Qi Yunguan in Wuzhou, and Mei Zhenyi lives in Qi Yunguan. Do you need to find another place?
Taoism flourished in the Tang Dynasty, but it was different from other systems and closely organized religions in the world. Although Taoism's thoughts were derived from Taoist doctrines and entrusted to Lao Tzu as the ancestor of Taoism, Taoism and traditional Taoism were two different things. Taoism was numerous and precepts were different. In the Tang Dynasty, Liguan was officially recognized and could be called a Taoist priest after receiving the talisman.
At that time, Wang Chongyang had not founded the Quanzhen Sect in the later generations. Taoist priests received rituals and entered the meditation to practice, and were called monks, but they could also marry. For example, Sun Simiao, he married a wife and had children. Taoist priests were different from ordinary families. There was no matchmaker's engagement, and the courtesy of literary decisiveness was recorded in the place where the ritual was received instead of ordinary household registration.
There are also some Taoist people who are not monks who practice meditation. Although they call themselves Taoists, they are no different from ordinary people without wearing Taoist robes. That is different from Taoist priests who have officially become monks.
The female Taoist priest who formally entered the meditation practice is called the female crown. What is said above is for men, but women are different. Male Taoist priests can marry a wife, but the female crown does not marry a wife. There is no other reason, because the secular laws of the world are unequal status between men and women. A wife belongs to the husband's family and must be a lay family, while a female crown is a monk, so a female crown does not marry.
Women are not married, but they can make friends with Taoism. The so-called Taoism couple is different from husband and wife. They make friends with fate, and do not be bound by secular sects, and do not live together as family members. Some sects prohibit sexual desire, so the Taoist couples do not even have a matter between men and women, which is mutual verification of practice. What is going on depends on what precepts they receive and what wishes they do.
In a word, in ancient times, the Taoist system was very complicated, and it was not easy for modern people to fully understand it. Just know so much about Yuzhen.
Princess Yuzhen was stunned when she heard Tiliuzhuan telling the imperial edict that was being drafted in the palace and the "private" discussions by Mei Zhenyi and others, and her mind was blank and she could no longer think about anything else. Zhang Guo said in front of Tiliuzhuan, "The princess can pretend to be a call from the Bodhisattva's dream and call her to Cuiting Temple." Tiliuzhuan tells truthfully, and the princess immediately came to Cuiting Temple.
The princess was confused, but Master Xingyun, an outsider, was very sober. When she heard the reason and understood the princess's intentions, she also felt sorry for her and defended her. She told Princess Yuzhen privately that the best way was not to be a nun in Cuiting Temple. Instead, go directly to Qiyun Temple to receive the talisman as a female crown - wherever she came!
Princess Yuzhen stopped crying, and the tears on her face were not dry. She blinked and said, "Master is so careless, why didn't I expect it?"
Master Xingyun: "If you are concerned about yourself, you will be in trouble, and you haven't thought about it carefully."
Princess Yuzhen calmed down and began to think: "Master Master can think of it, how could Mr. Mei and others not think of it? Why only talk about Cuiting Temple's plan to become a monk?"
Master Xingyun smiled bitterly: "They only know the holy intentions of the palace and cannot be sure of the princess's intentions. They just talked privately. As a member of the Mei family, some words cannot be expressed. As long as the princess is smart, can't she understand it?"
That's right. The queen of the emperor wants to give marriage to the Southern Lu Gong. She is still a princess who is as beautiful as a flower. As the son and slave of the Southern Lu Gong, can she take the initiative to destroy the master's good deeds? It's said that she is unfaithful and unfilial. It sounds very unpleasant. I can only use this method to remind Princess Yuzhen, it depends on what the princess thinks.
The princess thought of another question: "If I want to become a monk, the Mei family cannot stop me, but I am afraid it will not be easy to do it before Qi Yunguan becomes a monk and then rush to issue the imperial edict."
Master Xingyun: "In the Wuzhou territory, you can do it as long as Mr. Mei nodded. If you insist on doing this, Mr. Mei will make you as you wish. The child is very soft-hearted and has the means. I understand."
The princess has now regarded Master Hsing Yun as a savior in her life, and involuntarily stepped forward and pulled her lichen sleeve and said, "He should understand my wishes. If he causes this, he will accept it?"
Master Xingyun shook his head gently: "These are two things. If Mr. Mei does what you want, it is a choice to respect you. I may not be interested in you. Let go of other things for the time being. Don't you say that you have enough wish to be with him? As for that kind of intention, let's talk about opportunities in the future. If you really want to become a monk in Qiyunguan, you should..."
She whispered and finally said, "The Poison Ni is a monk and shouldn't have said these things, sins, sins, Amitabha, Amitabha..."
Zhiyan and others were outside Cuiting Temple. When they saw the princess's tears before she went out, she looked happy and looked a little strange. Yu Zhen stepped forward and bowed, "Thank you for your help, fairy, please give me another help, can you send me back to Qiyun Temple?"
After Princess Yuzhen left, Master Xingyun stood in the backyard of Cuiting Temple, looked up at the Xingyun in the night sky, and said to himself: "Mei Zhenyi, Mei Zhenyi, you boy, don't speak, but you asked Poni, the monk, to say this... Oh, okay! I won't help you anyone, but the princess is so intent. I think what you do in the future?"
Princess Yuzhen ran back and forth today, and was very busy slid around there. Zhiyan took Princess Yuzhen into the city. Then it slipped to Wuzhou Prefecture and reported to Mei Zhenyi what happened in Qiyunguan.
When Mei Zhenyi heard that the princess had fallen to Qi Yuntai, she felt nervous. Zhang Guo said on the side: "Sure enough, something happened. If there was no expert to save him, he would have lost his life! The princess's mind was indeed firm. What would the young master plan to do?"
Mei Zhenyi sighed: "Since that's the case, Wuzhou Prefecture, hurry up and prepare for the princess's rituals, and it will be done within two days."
Mei Yi was not used to the role of the governor of Wuzhou, so he didn't react for a while. He slipped around and interrupted, "General Mei, the young master is calling you!"
Mei Yi then realized that he was talking about himself and asked in confusion: "Didn't the princess go to Cuiting Temple? How did the young master say that he was receiving the talisman?"
Zhang Guo slapped his forehead at this time: "Mei Yi, we are not as smart as the young master. Master Xingyun will not take in the princess. She will definitely persuade the princess to go to Qiyunguan to become a monk, so she is not receiving certificates but receiving talismans."
Ti Liuliu and spinned beside the three of them and asked, "What's going on? What are you talking about? The princess is going to Qiyunguan to become a monk again?"
Mei Zhenyi smiled helplessly: "Old Zhang, you know Master very well!...Uncle Yi. Be prepared. The prince will become a monk. Wuzhou Prefecture must go through the procedures. The sooner the better! Qu Zhen will come tomorrow morning. If he comes, you can do it. Don't say anything else."
Zhang Guo said: "Young Master, when will you deduce the secret of heaven?"
Mei Zhenyi: "What else can you deduce? If things happen, you can think of changes."
Tucked around: "Mr. Mei, I still don't understand. What are you talking about?"
Mei Zhenyi looked stern: "Take it around, why did you tell the princess the matter we discussed? As soon as you go out?"
Ti Liuzuo said embarrassedly: "You didn't tell the princess either. I think it's very important to the princess. Of course, I have to tell her that in Wuzhou, except for Mr. Mei, I am the closest Prince Yuzhen."
Mei Zhenyi: "Then you will know when you go back and ask the princess? Go quickly. If something big happens, there should be someone around the princess who can make decisions. If you are close to her, you have to go and watch it."
Ti Liu turned around. Mei Yi frowned and said, "You can't tell the inside story about this."
Mei Zhenyi: "Don't worry, Uncle Yi, Master Xingyun will remind Yu Zhen to let him go."
Zhang Guo looked at the young master and smiled strangely: "Young master. Princess really became a monk in Qi Yunguan, you plan..."
Mei Zhenyi stood up and walked out the door, saying as she walked: "Jinxian is still a guest at home, so why not be with the princess?"
Zhang Guo raised his thumbs from behind: "Okay, Master, you are so good, so detached!"
Early the next morning, Qi Yunguanguan's leader Qu Zhensheng came to the city with a horse. He didn't know the whole story. Yesterday, Princess Yuzhen found him after dark and wanted to become a monk in Qi Yunguan. The matter suddenly happened, and he didn't know what to do. He should have reported to Wuzhou Prefecture first, but after thinking about it, he would go to Jingwu Villa to find Mei Zhenyi first, but he didn't expect Mei Yi was here too.
When Mei Zhenyi saw Qu Zhensheng, she stepped forward and patted his shoulder and said, "We have already known your purpose. Wuzhou Prefecture is ready. Do it as fast as possible... Congratulations to you, Master Quguan. You are going to get rich!"
"Behave inaction, be weak in action. Behave in a gentle manner. Do not move first. Can you do it?" This was at noon the next day. In the Xuanyuan Hall of Qi Yunguan, Qu Zhensheng was presided over the ceremony of Princess Yuzhen becoming a monk and taking the precepts. There was a princess kneeling in front of him. The young little scepter couldn't help but feel a little nervous, but standing there with his chest straight, he really had the temperament of a scepter.
Princess Yuzhen knelt in front of the Taoist statue and replied, "I wish to do it."
Qu Zhensheng: "Doing nameless, doing tranquility, doing all good deeds. Can you do it?"
Yuzhen: "I want to do it."
Qu Zhensheng: "If you do not have any desire, you will know how to stop your actions, and if you do it, you will give up your words. Can you do it?"
Yuzhen: "It should be done."
Qu Zhensheng took a golden plate from the Taoist boy beside him. On the plate was a Taoist garment, a Taoist crown, and a Buddha dust. He stepped forward and said, "Yu Zhen, if you put this Taoist garment on your body, you will no longer be a princess in the world. I will give you the Dharma name Jiying... Taoist garment is Jiying, please get up and receive clothes and talismans."
At this time, the princess changed into Taoist clothes and officially became Taoist Master Jiying. General Mei Yi, the governor of Wuzhou, Mei Zhenyi, the governor of Duqin, Mei Yunguan, and Qu Zhensheng, the head of Dongxuan, came forward to celebrate and congratulate. In such an open occasion, all the words of congratulations on the ascension to the immortal talisman.
Mei Yi, on behalf of Wuzhou Prefecture, said a practical sentence: "The princess received the talisman here, but she did not have a female crown in her sight. I may be inconvenient. How should she place it more appropriate?"
Qu Zhensheng glanced at Mei Zhenyi and bowed and replied, "There is only a temporary setting up Qingjing Villa to let Taoist Jiying practice, and ask Lord Duqiwei to send more women to take care of him."
Mei Zhenyi quickly continued, "It should be so. Qi Yunguanzhong will temporarily set up a separate courtyard to let Taoist Jiying practice. I will send unmarried women from my family to serve him. Wuzhou Prefecture asks me to report to the court. After the etiquette arrives, we will make arrangements...Master Jiying, do you think this is OK?"
They pretended to talk about things here. Ji Ying glanced at Mei Zhenyi with beautiful eyes, lowered her head and said with a slightly red face: "Ji Ying has no objection."
Things were settled like this. The temporary dialect of other courtyards was just to others. Princess Yuzhen still lived in the past, and nothing changed from top to bottom. It was just that Princess Yuzhen changed to Taoist Master Jiying. This was the result of Yuzhen's desire. Now that she has achieved what she wants, she has nothing to be dissatisfied with.
The word "Zhiying" can also be understood as meaning that your wishes can be filled with the ground. Qu Zhensheng's Dharma name is very particular, and he is not a fool. When he comes to his senses, he understands what the princess is going to become a monk.
The princess became a monk and became a woman's crown. Wuzhou Prefecture was very shocked. The governor Mei Yi sent someone to ride a fast horse that night and reported it to Shendu for 800 miles. She became a monk for no reason. There must be an explanation. The princess has a memorial, which reads-
"Yu Zhen was a sinful person. He lived in Bazhou and thought about his mistakes. He did not want to be robbed by demons. He wanted to sacrifice his life for his country, but he was fortunate to meet with a master to save him. Before the war, Wuzhou climbed the city and did his best for the country. Seeing that the soldiers died and bleeding suddenly became compassionate. The Queen of Heaven issued an order to order Yu Zhen to temporarily live in the Mei family in Wuzhou. He was ordered to live in Qiyun Temple to celebrate the ceremony and pray for blessings for the Queen of Heaven and the Celestial Empire.
On the New Year's Day, I suddenly heard that there was a fairy music in the sky. A fairy called herself green snow, and led a pair of golden boys and jade girls to come from Jingting Mountain. He said that Yu Zhen prayed for blessings and was sincere. He was destined to the Tao, and left after he finished speaking. He was moved by his traces. Yu Zhen wished to go there, and he wished to become a monk in Wuzhou to become a woman's crown and wish the queen of heaven forever."
As for whether this memorial was written by Yu Zhen himself or whether Master Xingyun secretly explained the land, others were not sure. Wuzhou Prefecture also had an urgent report, which also showed auspiciousness. It said that Princess Yu Zhen prayed for blessings and fasting for the queen in Qiyun Temple, and was sincerely moved by the sky. Another miracle occurred in Qiyun Temple. A fairy in green clothes came from the sky with a golden boy and a jade girl, saying that the princess and Tao were destined to be together.
The master of Qi Yun Temple, Master Dongxuan Qu Zhensheng and dozens of Taoist people in the Temple all saw it with their own eyes, lamenting the kindness and power of the queen. The princess became a monk in the Temple the next day and received the talisman as the Taoist Master of Jiying. Wuzhou Prefecture did not dare to be negligent and reported to Shendu today.
Princess Yuzhen’s memorial and Wuzhou Prefecture’s urgent report were sent to Wenchangtai four days later. The officials of Wenchangtai did not dare to be negligent and immediately sent it to the palace to Chengxiu Yuling. Empress Wu was stunned for a moment when she saw this thing, then laughed and said, “This is worry-free!”
The Emperor Wu didn't care whether Princess Yuzhen became a monk or not. What she cared about was whether these royal children would form cliques in the court to oppose her. It was also a matter of winning over the marriage to Mei Xiaolang. Princess Yuzhen was really worry-free. Empress Wu didn't like Princess Yuzhen very much. This time, because she had to reward her for her great contributions to the position. Since the imperial edict for marriage had not been issued, it would not damage the royal face. That's all.
The three imperial edicts that were originally intended to issue have now changed and have been issued separately. On the Lantern Festival, the palace issued an edict and was given the title of "Master of the Three Scenery of Shangqing Xuandu" by Taoist Master Ying, and rewarded a hundred taels of gold and a purple silk ribbon. The edict was sent to Wuzhou Prefecture, and the silver in the Kujiu built a Yuzhen Temple at the foot of Jingting Mountain. For the place where Master Zhiying practiced, he allocated three hundred acres of imperial fields to provide support. He also ordered Wuzhou Prefecture to add silver to repair Qiyun Temple and appreciate the main guest of the temple.
After the imperial edict was passed to Wuzhou, Princess Yuzhen received the money and asked for the land. Wuzhou Prefecture also allocated silver to cultivate the Yuzhen Temple. However, Princess Yuzhen did not live in the Yuzhen Temple at all. She had been living in Qiyun Temple in the name of visiting Taoism, and was accompanied by Gu'er, Sui'er and Ti'er. The Emperor of Heaven was far away and could not care about her, and no one was full and had nothing to do to do to deal with such idiots.
The amnesty of Yu Zhen Temple was later added to the cake. The trouble was solved successfully when the princess became a monk. Princess Yu Zhen's daily life has not changed much compared to before, but she is destined to be unable to marry Mei Zhenyi according to her wishes, unless she returned to the secular world until Empress Wu returns to heaven, and Mei Zhenyi has no wife and is willing to marry her.
But Yu Zhen was already very satisfied. She was able to live in the place she liked, everyone treated her well, and could accompany her beloved people. This was hundreds of times better than living alone in Bazhou.
After the matter was over, Mei Zhenyi still practiced every day and often chatted with Princess Yuzhen in the study of Qiyunguan East Courtyard. The princess's eyes were gentle and water dripped out. Gu'er and Sui'er often covered their mouths and smiled secretly. At first, it was inevitable that they were a little embarrassed, but later Mei Zhenyi felt relieved and just do whatever she should do.
He felt pity for the princess. What kind of emotion was this? Letting a modern person travel to the Tang Dynasty to talk about the relationship between men and women may have a completely different feeling in that era. If aristocrats in the Tang Dynasty could not recite a few poems at the banquet, they would be embarrassed to say that they were scholars. Similarly, if there were no romantic affairs, they would be embarrassed to go out and be famous.
In such an environment, with Mei Zhenyi's identity, how can he deal with the relationship between men and women? He is destined not to marry only one woman. If others don't say it, Gu'er and Sui'er have already clarified the identity of their future wife, and these two people cannot abandon each other in this life. Then, no matter how many confidants such as "Zhiying Taoist" are nothing, they are willing to do so.
However, Mei Zhenyi did not have any romantic affairs in Qi Yunguan. Don’t forget that Zhongli Quan made a precept for him, which is a precept for lust. He has not allowed him to break the precept yet. Gu'er, Sui'er knew about this, and Princess Yuzhen had also heard about it.
What is love? Mei Zhenyi occasionally thinks about this question, and there seems to be no abstract answer at all. While meditating alone, the shadow of Fu Xiaoqing in front of him flashed in front of him, which was the first woman in his life. However, the person who appeared the most in front of him was Qu Yimin.
It seems that she has been a long time ago, as if it is a memory of her previous life, but Qu Yimin's every frown and smile is becoming more and more vivid in his mind. Mei Xi, who had traveled through time, was still very ignorant in terms of emotions. It was not until now that Mei Zhenyi had come back to her. At that time, he seemed to want to avoid closer contact with Qu Yimin, but in fact he was already moved without realizing it.
Unfortunately, it seemed a bit late at this time, or it was too early, more than 1,300 years earlier!
On the afternoon of the Lantern Festival, he sat alone on Qiyun Temple but did not practice martial arts. He was thinking about his thoughts, and inexplicably thought of Qu Yimin, and felt very emotional. At this moment, someone behind him said, "Disciple, are you in a little confused?"
It was Zhongli Quan's voice, Mei Zhenyi quickly stood up and said, "Master, when I was thinking about it alone recently, my mood was indeed a little confused. I was very ashamed. I shouldn't have been like this."
Zhongli Quan took a sip of wine with the gourd and said with a smile: "Is it because of Princess Yuzhen?"
Mei Zhenyi said the truth: "It's related, but not entirely because of her. It's very complicated, and the disciple himself can't explain it clearly."
Zhongli Quan: "You did a very straightforward job in Princess Yuzhen. It's such a good way to steal the sky and change the sun. I remember when I saw the princess kneeling in front of you with tears in her eyes, I had already expected that there would be today's result. You should be able to see through it, right?"
Mei Zhenyi: "Of course I can see it openly. This matter is just the origin of the confusion of my mind. I have achieved success in practicing the mind method, and there are no distractions in my mind. I don't know why this has been the case in recent days."
Zhongli Quan: "It's not that your cultivation level has declined, but it's precisely because your mental method has improved. This step is inevitable for anyone. I think your timing is almost the same. Even the Heavenly Strike and Thunder Tribulation have been pointed out at you. This level should not be the most difficult for you."
Mei Zhenyi: "Is this level that Master mentioned is a love level?"
Zhongli Quan: "In practice, there is no such thing as love. When you encounter problems, you only talk about your mind and nature. Everything can mess up your mind and nature. It depends on how you do it yourself... Boy, you can do it!"
Mei Zhenyi: "Why did Master praise me?"
Zhongli Quan: "I won't talk about Princess Yuzhen. There is a fairy who lives in your house during the Chinese New Year."
Mei Zhenyi: "Do you mean Zhiyan? Live in my house? Oh, I understand. She must live on Chengshu Peak in Qingyi Sanshan. There is a ready-made house there. It was moved by Qingfeng Fairy Child last time."
Zhongli Quan: "Then do you know what she is intended to do?"
Mei Zhenyi: "I have something to say to her first, and I will give her Feiyunxiu three years later. Now the three-year period is over. Master, you should also officially hold an introductory ceremony for me and give me a weapon to finish this matter."
Chapter completed!
