Chapter 115, Zhishen is ordered to burn gold, and the green snow is not expected to be received by the mountain god

"In this way, practitioners must not only save themselves, but also observe all things in the world. All kinds of previous lives are actually the experiences of sentient beings in the world, experiences of different eras, different worlds, and different identities." Mei Zhenyi sighed.

Zhongli Quan's eyes lit up: "Yes, your words have actually revealed the meaning of 'previous life'."

Mei Zhenyi: "What did the master say? Is this what the so-called 'previous life' mean?"

Zhong Liquan glared at his eyes: "Then what do you think the purpose of a practitioner talking about the 'previous life'? It is to observe all sentient beings in the world, not only in the past life, but also in the 'next life'.

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

Zhongli Quan: "You can't be able to not glar at you. You are very smart and can figure out many things and principles, but the words you can say are not truly verified in your practice."

Mei Zhenyi: "My cultivation is still far from being superb, but after hearing what the master said, I will not be afraid of this test at that time."

Zhong Li Quan glared at him again: "No one will be afraid of cultivation at this point! The key is whether he can pass it right... Zhiyan has been living in the past three years and has been observing all things in the world. If he doesn't do this, he will not be able to see through the barriers and achieve superb success. Therefore, it is a test and a blessing."

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

Zhongli Quan: "Nonsense, in danger."

Mei Zhenyi: "Can you help her?"

Zhongli Quan: "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 enlighten her to break through the barriers. If she fails in the disaster, she will try to remedy it."

"What's the name of this great disaster?" Mei Zhenyi's worried expression was beyond words.

Zhongli Quan: "Before the Heavenly Punishment, the many calamities of practice in the world vary from person to person. Therefore, it is nameless. I heard that you like to name, so just give it a name."

Mei Zhenyi thought for a while: "How is it called "Sea of ​​Pain" to borrow Buddhist words?"

Zhongli Quan picked up his beard and said, "The false mind, the true emptiness, the sea of ​​suffering... The names you gave these practice disasters are very vivid and appropriate, so that's good."

Mei Zhenyi: "Why is such a simple thing? Before?

Zhongli Quan: "It is not nameless, but nameless. Each sect has different preachings and people have different experiences. For example, the True Vacuum Tribulation is difficult for Mei Yi, but it is very easy for you. I have experienced the vacuum trip to Danxia Sect, and I don't even have any deliberate feeling. I sent it out and took it back, and this disaster has passed. This is also related to your daily actions that you rarely rely on magical powers."

The conversation between the master and the disciple implies that Mei Zhenyi has passed the test of the "Vacuum Tribulation". Mei Zhenyi smiled bitterly: "Master, don't see who I deal with? I can't compare with my magic power if I want to rely on my magic power! This tribulation seems easy, but in fact it is difficult, and it is not the time to practice the exercise."

Zhongli Quan smiled and said, "This is the wonder of the world's practice calamities, which vary from person to person. Although it is a heavenly calamity, it is also called a human calamity. I ask you, if I knew that it would be the result of following you to the Danxia Summit. I will go back in time and come again, will she still go?"

Mei Zhenyi: "I think she will go any further, and everything she does is what she wishes... Master, it will be dawn if we continue to talk. Don't you still have to preach the Dharma?"

Zhongli Quan habitually waved his fan and knocked him: "Boy, you asked this and that, and you still have to urge me!... Now I will pass on your magic trick of "Nine-Turn Golden Pills Directly" and I can pass it in one hour. But there are a few more words to be made clear in advance. Shut up and listen, and don't interrupt it anymore."

Mei Zhenyi has become a true master of great success. She has just experienced the true emptiness disaster. At this time, her cultivation is based on the simple statement of the doctor and has entered the path of transformation. However, the "Nine Transformations of Golden Elixirs" that Zhongli Quan wanted to teach him starts from the beginning of the foundation building of the practice and the end of the great success of the golden elixir. The worldly scriptures of the mind are only a true master of great success. Further upward practice is often a combination of personal enlightenment and enlightenment by the master.

"Nine-Turning Golden Pills Directly" has nine levels of realms. They are: One Yang is born, the ladder is up to the heaven, the soul appears, the three flowers gather, the medicine returns to the pot, the spirit is combined, the furnace is transformed into a furnace, the nine-turn, and the purple gold elixir (Da Cheng Zhenren). Mei Zhenyi has the realm of Da Cheng Zhenren, and Zhongli Quan can directly put the heart seal. He passed on the mind method and the mantra at one time, which is different from the situation of ordinary disciples in teaching them.

Zhongli Quan told Mei Zhenyi that just like experiencing the true emptiness, he would temporarily ignore that he had become a true person of great success. He started to practice "Nine Transformations of Golden Elixirs" from the foundation building, which was consistent with what he had learned before. Do not be anxious and satisfied. You don't have to worry about the various disasters you experienced before, and you should confirm the state quickly.

Why did he teach like this? On the one hand, what Zhongli Quan learned is different from Sun Simiao. He hoped that Mei Zhenyi's foundation would be more solid so that he could continue to preach the Dharma. On the other hand, there were few people with Mei Zhenyi's experience and qualifications. Zhongli Quan hoped that he could be inclusive and not only a master of immortals in the future, but also a master of his generation. But Zhongli Quan did not say this sentence in his heart.

When the sunset was rising, Zhongli Quan had finished teaching the Dharma and stood up and said, "The alchemy technique has been passed on. I want to go to Tailao Peak to help Donghuamen dig the Tailao Spirit Realm. This is not a day's work. If you have something to do, go to Tailao Peak to find me... By the way, can Master ask you for something?"

Mei Zhenyi: "Why do you use the word 'seek' when you have something to do? Just give me instructions."

Zhongli Quan looked a little embarrassed: "Digging a cave in the world, the magic power of the immortals alone is not enough. The manpower, material resources and financial resources are also very large in the secular world, which is a bit difficult for Donghuamen."

Mei Zhenyi: "Master, don't say much, please wait here, and the disciples will come." He walked into Qiyun Temple.

After two incense sticks, Mei Zhenyi returned to Qiyuntai and said, "There are 500 taels of scattered gold here, of which one hundred taels are the ones that Princess Yuzhen respects you. Three hundred taels are the income of the Mei family when Zhang Guo handled the war last year, and one hundred taels are the ones I misappropriated from my family's funds. Although the Mei family in Wuzhou is rich, they can only take out so much at the moment."

Zhongli Quan laughed: "I will take Princess Yuzhen's money, and I understand the girl's thoughts. Zhang Guo took your private money, and I plundered it. As for the last hundred taels of gold, you are not in charge yet. It is not appropriate to embezzle such a large amount of family resources?"

Mei Zhenyi: "I heard that the imperial envoy from the imperial court has set out. I will arrive in Wuzhou soon. This time, I will not only order me to enter the capital, but also give me a hundred taels of gold. I will make up for it at that time... This money is already a wealthy person for ordinary families, but it is probably not enough to dig the cave heavenly temple with the scale of Tailao Peak. Master, let me find a way."

Zhongli Quan: "You have brought out so much at a time. I am very grateful to you. The construction of Taoist temple cave heaven and earth has been a matter of hundreds or even nearly thousands of years of hard work for disciples of all dynasties. You cannot count on you alone."

Mei Zhenyi: "If you can find a way, you can find a way. In short, do your best. Master doesn't have to worry about me."

The third day after Zhongliquan left, the imperial envoy of the Wuhou sent him to arrive. He was a monk with the name of Zhishen. This Zen Master Zhishen was a disciple of Hongren, the fifth ancestor of Zen Buddhism. Some people may have never heard of his name, but he had two junior brothers, one was Shenxiu of the Northern Sect and the other was Huineng of the Sixth Patriarch. If you have not even heard of these two, then Zhishen had another master before he joined Hongren Buddhism. You must know that it was Xuanzang, the monk of Tang.

Zen Master Zhishen does not cultivate his body, and his appearance looks similar to his actual age. He is an old monk over 70 years old. His eyebrows are already half white, his kind eyebrows are kind and his eyes are peaceful, and he always smiles when he speaks. But when he sees him, he doesn't show any old look at him. When Mei Zhenyi's first impression of him, he feels that the cultivation of this old monk is beyond his ability to estimate.

This time, Empress Wu sent an imperial envoy to Wuzhou, not only to spread the imperial edict but also to promulgate the imperial edict, so she sent such a Taoist monk.

Mei Yi, the governor of Wuzhou, led officials of all sizes and big and small in Wuzhou. Mei Zhenyi, also the Duqiwei, received an order in Wuzhou Prefecture. The Empress of Heaven issued an edict to reward Mei Zhenyi with a hundred taels of gold, a jade belt, and two hu of pearls. She chose a date to visit the capital to meet the saint. Mei Zhenyi had known about these news for a long time, but unexpectedly, there was an imperial edict that she had not known in advance.

When the queen heard that Cuiting Temple flew into the city overnight, she was very happy and thought it was the Bodhisattva's appearance. She issued another imperial edict saying that there were only nuns in Wuzhou city but no temples where monks practiced. She ordered Zen Master Zhishen to choose a blessed place in Wuzhou city to build a temple with the imperial pen titled "Jiulin Zen Temple".

Zen Master Zhishen is responsible for selecting a site, supervising the creation, recruiting monks for offerings. Before the abbot of the new temple was selected, Zen Master Zhishen had to temporarily take over the abbot of Jiulin Zen Temple, and Wuzhou Prefecture should cooperate with it with all its strength. It seems that Zhishen will not be able to go back for a while, and will stay in Wuzhou for at least a year and a half.

After the order was issued, the officials stood up, welcomed the imperial envoy to sit down, and offered tea and chat. Mei Zhenyi asked for Mei Yi: "Master, you are building Jiulin Zen Temple in Wuzhou City. Where do you want to choose a location? What do you need us to do?"

Zhishen: "This matter is not urgent. Wuzhou has beautiful scenery and extraordinary terrain. I want to inspect the mountains and rivers nearby for a few days before selecting a location in the city... But the old monk wanted to ask Mr. Mei that although the imperial edict did not limit the time you went to Beijing, it was not easy to neglect it. How long do you plan to leave?"

As soon as he said this, Mei Zhenyi was secretly surprised. This monk not only had unfathomable cultivation, but also was proficient in Feng Shui and Earthly Vein. Why did he go to the mountains and rivers outside the city to inspect? Others may not understand why Mei Zhenyi is an expert in hearing this.

Temples are different from ordinary buildings. They often have the function of suppressing Feng Shui and Earth. It depends on who is building them and how they are built. I wonder what impact it will have on the Lingshu of the Jiulian Mountains. Thinking of this, Mei Zhenyi replied: "We should set off immediately after the order is ordered, but my Mei family should also do our best to help the Master in Wuzhou. When will the Master choose a blessing site, I will set off... By the way, the Master also has the order to enfeoff the Jingting Mountain God. When will the altar be opened?"

Zhishen: "It's noon tomorrow. Please prepare for Wuzhou Prefecture. The old monk will go there. There is no need for many people to accompany you in this ritual. I heard that Jingting Mountain is the property of the Mei family and the Green Snow Temple is also established by the Mei family. Then I would like to invite Mr. Mei to attend."

Mei Yi ordered: "The master announced the decree to enshrine the mountain god, and did not want to be disturbed by ordinary people. The colleagues here do not need to go tomorrow! On behalf of Wuzhou Prefecture, the Duqiwei represents the Mei family. I will ask Master Zhiying, Master Xingyun and other practitioners to watch the ceremony. What else does the master need? Just order the followers to order them. Everything you need tomorrow will be prepared before noon."

Announcement of the law and decree the mountain god, such a thing is unprecedented. All officials from all over the Wuzhou want to go to watch the ceremony, but Mei Yi issued an order to stop everyone from going with his official power. All the officials present were disappointed, but Mei Yi didn't care about any dissatisfaction.

Empress Wu was really a place, so why did you confer the Jingting Mountain God? Lu Xue was okay, but Mei Zhenyi had already given Jingting Mountain to the fairy boy Qingfeng to be a temple. Although Qingfeng didn't say anything after learning the news, if Zhishen announced the imperial edict in the mountains and caused any chaos, it would be really hard to end, so he had to be more cautious.

On that day, the inn was held to entertain the imperial envoy and the monks who were accompanying him. After the banquet, the Qingjing Villa arranged for Zen Master Zhishen to rest. At night, Zhishen was about to rest when the little novice came to report: "Master, Wuzhou Duqi Wei Mei Zhenyi asked for a visit."

Zhishen smiled slightly: "It's true. Report back, I'll go see him now."

Mei Zhenyi was waiting in the front hall, and only the sound of her steps was heard. Zhishen walked in wearing a plain monk's robe. He hurried forward: "I'm visiting late at night, disturbing the Master's rest! Today, there are some things in the state capital that are inconvenient to say, so I have to explain to the Master privately."

Zhishen smiled and waved his hand: "No need to be polite. The old monk knew that Mr. Mei would come. Are you trying to be the gods tomorrow? Please sit down and talk slowly."

After sitting down, Mei Zhenyi went straight to the point: "The master is a master of Taoism, so there is no need to hide some words. Jingting Mountain is my property. I have given this mountain to a fairy child as a temple. When the gods are enthroned tomorrow, if that fairy child appears, don't be surprised."

He kept looking at Zhishen's reaction when he spoke. The old monk kept smiling and without any surprise. He nodded slightly and replied: "Before entering the city, the old monk looked at Jingting Mountain from afar. The clouds were extraordinary and mysterious. There should be an expert in the immortal family who should be stationed. He thought it was Luxue, but he didn't expect that there was another person. What is the origin of this person?"

"Who heard the clear breeze of the drunken mountain." Mei Zhenyi said these five words, and saw Zhishen slightly shocked. He asked, "Have you heard of this person?"

Zhishen: "It's not that I've heard of it, but that I've seen it. At that time, there was a fairy boy in Mingyue around him."

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?"

Zhishen: "I met one after another many years. Since they were here, I happened to go to the meeting after finishing my work. Don't worry, the old monk was ordered to enthrone the mountain god this time, not to make things difficult for anyone or to take over any private land. You give Jingting Mountain to Qingfeng to settle down. It has nothing to do with the old monk. No matter who is the mountain god, Jingting Mountain or your place."

Mei Zhenyi: "Since that's the case, I'll feel at ease. Master, please rest early. Tomorrow, at noon, I will welcome the Dharma in the Green Snow Temple of Jingting Mountain."

On the 15th of February, at noon, in the valley south of the main peak of Jingting Mountain, the "mountain gods are sealed" ceremony was being held in the open space outside the gate of the Green Snow Gods Temple. The Green Snow Gods Temple has little space, so the altar is placed outside the door, and the sight is through the open two doors. Standing behind the altar, you can clearly see the statue of the Green Snow Gods.

In February, a layer of withered and yellow bamboo leaves are naturally laid on the hollowed-out ground in the bamboo forest. It is very dry and clean without special sweeping. A clear spring flows out from the rocks behind the temple and passes through the bamboo forest. The mountain breeze is slight, and the sunlight casts mottled and swaying bamboo shadows on the open space, making you feel refreshed and refreshed when you stand here.

Mei Zhenyi did not see the scenery. He stood behind Zhishen and kept looking at the statue of Green Snow. He could sense that Green Snow had not come. The main owner was not in the scene. What is the meaning of this "Capitation of Gods"? It is purely a ritual in the secular world. In this way, it would be enough to have an imperial edict. Why do monks like Zhishen come to hold the ceremony in person?

Zen Master Zhishen ignored what Mei Zhenyi was thinking, and seemed to ignore whether there was a god attached to the statue. He held a ceremony step by step. He unfolded the "decree" of the Queen of Heaven, then cast a spell to hang the decree on the altar, waved his robe sleeves, and burned it with the power of true fire.

The decree was written on the yellow silk with red pen. When it was lit with true fire, it emitted pure golden flames, but there was no trace of smoke or any ashes. The decree was burning Mei Zhenyi at the beginning and suddenly felt something was wrong, because his spiritual sense realized that the green snow was "coming".

It was not Lu Xue that appeared, but the statue of God was suddenly "consecrated", and the spiritual consciousness of Green Snow was attached to it. It seems that Zen Master Zhishen also used Lu Xue to attract Lu Xue while igniting the magic order, and directly let her take the seat. His magic is much more skillful than Mei Zhenyi's "summoning ghosts and gods" technique.

Even more magical things are still behind. With the burning of the imperial edict, Mei Zhenyi could sense the spiritual energy of the mountain moving and gathering towards a certain place. This place is not the Green Snow Temple, but an unknown place in the deep valley. Mei Zhenyi suddenly realized that it should be where the Green Snow Original Body was rooted.

After the decree was burned out, the ceremony of "the mountain god was enfeoffed" ended. The earth energy spiritual pivot of this mountain has completely gathered in the Luxue Original Body, corresponding to the earth consciousness she attached to the statue, and is inseparable! What does it mean? To put it bluntly, at this time, the earth green snow has become the real Jingting Mountain God, and this mountain is her mountain god dojo!
Chapter completed!
