Chapter 208, Biography, Three Precepts in the Red Dust, Dragon Boat Festival and Dagu Mountain
Chapter 208, I will send a letter to keep three precepts in the world, and I will make an appointment to fight against Dagushan on the Dragon Boat Festival
In name, Haozhou Prefecture manages Pengze County, and the prefecture chief manages Pengze County Magistrate, but in fact no one will easily command Di Renjie. After all, he was the prime minister in the court, and his status is respectful to countless disciples and old officials, and his actual influence is far more than the status of a county magistrate. Moreover, such an outgoing official may be recruited by an order to restore his position one day, so it is better not to be punished.
But if Haozhou Prefecture agrees to Di Renjie's request, who will take the blame if something goes wrong? Haozhou Prefecture is also a dilemma. Di Renjie certainly knows the tricks in the officialdom for a long time. So he thought of using the name of Lu Chunyang to disturb Pengze County and invite a Taoist to subdue monsters. The scope can be beyond the entire territory of Pengze County and the entire territory of Haozhou. This person has already done the burning of the lewd temple in Haozhou, so let him do it.
It was the credit of Haozhou Prefecture. What went wrong? It was the mistake of Taoist Lu Chunyang. If you have to pursue it, it was just Di Renjie's improper employment. Now when I think about borrowing the name of Lu Chunyang, why didn't I borrow the name of Liu Hai at the beginning? Because Liu Hai's reputation in the local area is already bad, and he doesn't have that great ability.
As soon as Di Renjie said Mei Zhenyi, he understood, and immediately nodded and agreed to recharge Lu Chunyang again. He suggested, "I am a practitioner and I have more things to consider. Those mountain monsters feel that they have become spirits and have some magic power to practice, but the Supreme Master is bound to do things by themselves and go astray without knowing it. If you burn all the lewd temples in one fell swoop, the monsters are angry and angry, and they will not be able to attack them well. I have to kill them all, which is not considered a safe way. It is better to think of another safe way."
Mei Zhenyi made a brief remark in her mind. If she burned the lewd temple directly, it would inevitably lead to a huge killing karma, so it should be handled properly and try to avoid unnecessary killing disasters.
Di Renjie pondered for a moment and asked, "These mountain and wild monsters are instructed by the supreme masters, and they are not restrained in their actions. What about those practitioners like nephew who have the guidance of masters?"
"After practicing practitioners preach the Dharma, I have received the precepts. For example, I have received the precepts of the Donghua Gate according to the practice stage. There are nine precepts of the entry, thirty-six precepts of the Dharma, and the eighteen precepts of the Great Success..." Mei Zhenyi explained the precepts of the Donghua Gate.
Di Renjie asked again: "Can we establish a ring for these mountain monsters?"
Mei Zhenyi shook her head and said, "It's not that simple. In practice, precepts, concentration and wisdom are inseparable. You cannot just pass on the Dharma and not take the Dharma, nor can you just take the Dharma and not pass on the Dharma. I can't just take the Dharma and not pass on the Dharma. I can't just bring these monsters in the mountains and wilds, and they can't all agree. But Di Gong's suggestion can be considered. I think my teacher Zhongli Quan made a covenant on Wuhu Island. I think I can do this, first make a covenant, and then burn the lewd temple."
Di Renjie: "This plan is very good, just do what my nephew said, but you probably don't know one thing. I don't want to forgive others. But something happened to Pengze recently, which shows that most of the demons in this place should be punished!"
What happened? ——A severe drought in Pengze area!
It is the season when the seedlings are heading and grouting. The sun shines brightly in Pengze area and it has been almost a month since it rains. There is no shortage of water in Pengze area, but it does not rain. It is really miserable for ordinary people to irrigate the farmland by carriages and horses and carry them on their shoulders. If there is no enough rain within this month, many crops in the fields will be harvested after autumn.
Recently, there have been rumors that Di Renjie was in office to rectify the temple. He guilty the local gods, and the gods joined forces to cast spells to drive out the rain clouds and prevent them from falling from falling from falling into Pengze as a punishment.
The Pengze area is located in the water town of Jiangnan. This season is a time of heavy rain. Moreover, the rainfall in the surrounding prefectures and counties is normal. It doesn’t rain in Pengze County. Some people must have made trouble. And the drought is so large and for so long. This means that a group of evil spirits joined forces to make trouble, not one or two people make trouble.
The purpose of the evil party in this may be to arouse public grievances and eventually drive away Di Renjie, but the most direct result is that the people will suffer first. These monsters have enjoyed the worship of villagers for many years, not only did not protect them, but also joined forces to harm them. What personal grievances can be brought to Di Renjie? Why did it force Di Gong to hate him? Even Mei Zhenyi was murderous after hearing about it.
After talking in the living room, Mei Zhenyi accompanied Mei Yi to the back hall to visit Li Yuanzhong. He personally treated his injuries. At this time, Li Yuanzhong was fine. After dinner that day, Mei Zhenyi and Di Renjie discussed privately in the study, and talked until late at night.
The next day, an exciting news came from Pengze County. Lord Di posted a list of talents and finally invited Taoist Master Chunyang who had subdued demons and eliminated demons. Someone saw Taoist Master Chunyang, who was transcendent in a state of demeanor, rode a flower-spotted auspicious beast into Pengze County. The people were talking about it and soon spread throughout Haozhou.
The matter was quickly confirmed. Pengze County Magistrate Di Renjie reported to Haozhou Prefecture, saying that the county government was disturbed by demons one after another. After investigation, the attackers came from ghosts and spirits worshipped in the mountains and wild lewd temples in Haozhou. He invited the immortal master Lu Chunyang to preside over the subjugation of demons. This matter involved the entire territory of Haozhou. Please allow the prefecture to approve and assist.
Haozhou Prefecture quickly came to an end, saying that it was for assistance and no one was sent to help. It just stamped an official seal on the official documents sent by Di Renjie.
Before this, Mei Zhenyi left Mei Yi and Aban to guard the Pengze County Government, and took him to cross the river northward to the Pengze realm, and went to Wuhu Island in Jiwai Daguan Lake in Shuangfeng. He went to find the five water monsters he had subdued that year to ask about the situation. The evil spirits in the lewd temple in Haozhou jointly made Pengze drought. This matter was very serious. He could not rely solely on speculation, but needed to confirm.
Only Hu Qiushui was practicing on the island. Seeing Mei Zhenyi slipping around here with Ti, he quickly called Hu Longteng, Hu Yuyue, Hu Shuangquan, Hu Chongtian and others back from the Daguan Lake and came forward to pay homage to the master. Although Mei Zhenyi had not accepted disciples yet, these water monsters were very eye-catching and had already treated him with the courtesy of the master.
The five people have been very honest in recent years, living in seclusion on Wuhu Island to practice, protecting the villagers in Daguan Lake to be at peace, and abide by Zhongli Quan's agreement that year. Mei Zhenyi called them to stand up, comforted and praised them for a few words before and mentioned the serious matter. He asked, "It's the rainy season, and the rain in the surrounding area, including here is normal, but the drought in Pengze has been severe for several days. Do you know what's going on?"
"I know, it was done by the gods in the lewd temple in Haozhou." "The one who took the lead was a pair of nine-tailed vixen. They had not been here for a long time." "If I hadn't been confined to the immortal Donghua, I would have wanted to go to Wuzhou to report to my master." When I heard Mei Zhenyi's question, several water demons spoke in a lingering manner.
"Slow down. Don't be so messy, I'll ask, Qiu Shui, you answer." Ti slipped around and put out the mighty style of the Sanshan General Manager, interrupting the chaotic voices of the demons. When it calmed down, it asked, "How many people have participated in this operation?"
Hu Qiushui: "I heard that there were more than 100 county governments, but they joined forces to expel Yuyun. The places where the sacred temples in Pengze were worshipped, whether human or demons were involved."
Ti Liuzhuan was surprised: "How could there be so many? Did they negotiate?"
Hu Qiushui: "Someone took the lead in gathering a group of monsters. If they didn't participate, they would probably not be able to live in this area in the future. If it weren't for the fact that Donghua Shangxian and Master had conquered us back then, they might have been in trouble with them now. I'm so scared."
The one who picked the lead was a pair of nine-tailed vixen sisters. The sister was named Wei Jiulan and the sister was named Wei Jiuzhen. They came here ten years ago. Zhanju was a lewd temple and drove away the original monsters. They had various methods such as Lost Treasure Money, Toad Light San, Soft Soul San, etc. They were very powerful monsters in the nearby area. I heard that Taoist priests were teased by them at that time, and they were very "reputable" among these lewd temple monsters.
What's even more amazing is that this pair of vixen is very smart and very sensible. He is said to be resourceful and able to come up with various means, especially the big fox Wei Jiulan and Di Renjie were appointed Peng Zeling. There are rumors that he would burn down the lewd temple in the territory. Many monsters were bewitched at night to attack the county government office and attempt to assassinate Di Gong. They have not succeeded, and there are not many monsters who went there.
At this time, Wei Jiulan came forward and went to the mountains and fields to discuss with the demons of the tyrant temple. He came up with a plan to kill people with a knife, which was to cause a severe drought in Pengze. At the same time, he released rumors that Di Renjie was punished by the gods, trying to arouse public grievances and drive Di Renjie away. If he didn't do it well, he would really lose his official position. But Di Gong was not so easy to mess with. He didn't leave but attracted Mei Zhenyi.
Do these monsters have such great ability? As the saying goes, "It is easy to stir up winds and waves, but it is difficult to moisten objects and turn rain." It is impossible to ensure that the weather here is smooth for years, and it is still possible to do some destructive things. First, there are more than 900 people, and second, most of them are water monsters, who have the ability to drive out clouds and rain, and they work together to cast spells to prevent rain clouds from falling into Pengze County.
Wei Jiulan and Wei Jiuzhen? Aren’t they the two nine-tailed vixen who met with Zuo Youxian outside Pengze City? They came from Qingqiu Mountain in Kunlun Fairyland and got the help of Miaoyin Jialan and walked through the Yaochi barrier to come to the world. I remember that they played with bangs as soon as they arrived in Haozhou. But there was no other evil, Mei Zhenyi let them go. Now, it seems that this pair of vixen cannot be let go of easily.
Mei Zhenyi thought in her heart, but did not tell the past, and said lightly: "Very good, I understand."
Before leaving Wuhu Island, Mei Zhenyi left five magic weapons, almost the same five scimitars. The blade is about three feet long, the back is slightly thick, the blade is curved and crescent-shaped, with bright white and translucent texture, and it looks very similar to the cavalry scimitar used by the Turks in the battlefield. It is very suitable for chopping and chopping during high-speed flight. This is made of the ribs of the West Sea Huangdi, called "Yanhuang Tsu".
Each of the five demons obtained a magic weapon, demon Huangtou, and smiled happily and called out his master to thank him repeatedly. Mei Zhenyi not only gave magic weapons, but also held an introductory ceremony for them to receive the ordination ceremony, and gave the heart seal to teach the first twelve cave heavens of the self-created "Twenty-Four Cave Heavens" pill technique. The cultivation of these monsters may have exceeded this realm, but Mei Zhenyi asked them to start building foundations from scratch to prove their gains and losses.
This principle is the same as Zhongli Quan taught him back then. I think Mei Zhenyi had become a true master of great success, but Zhongli Quan taught him the Nine-Turn Golden Elixir to point out the point, asking him to start the foundation-building practice again to confirm the gains and losses of previous practices, and integrate it with what Sun Simiao taught. Why only spread the first twelve cave heavens? First, the time is not yet ripe, and second, the practice of monsters is different from others after all. Mei Zhenyi slightly changed the alchemy method and is suitable for these five water demons to practice. He cannot pass on the Dharma freely in the later twelve cave heaven realms.
Asked, the precepts, the equipment and the teachings were given, and the five water monsters were Mei Zhenyi's disciples. As soon as they went to Wuhu Island, they called each other very intimately, and they could not make people scream in vain. However, before the ten-year period of Zhongli Quan was established, Mei Zhenyi still asked them to stay in Daguan Lake and waited for the expiration of the period to go to Qingyi Sanshan.
After leaving Wuhu Island, Mei Zhenyi ordered her to sliver around the nearby countryside to find out the news. After all, Hu Longteng and other five demons had not left Daguan Lake, and their outside world's situation was limited. She specifically told it to be careful and only ask for information and not provoke monsters.
Ti Liuzhuo now has some foundations of practice, and its spiritual sense is particularly sharp. It is best at stealth and elusive. Now it also has its own magic weapon - twenty-four flying god scales. Mei Zhenyi got the 24 flying scales of Tiancheng magic weapon from Xihaihuang. The magic whip can be used to inspire him. He wanted to refine this flying scale as light as nothing, almost transparent and invisible, but extremely sharp, and hand it over to Ti Liuzhuo for use.
Pulling and swaying is an invisible body. Ordinary magic weapons cannot be used, but it is not so simple to refine tangible objects into invisible and wonderful uses. Pulling and swaying still cannot be used, mainly because it cannot be carried with you. Later, the Mingyue Fairy Child took the initiative to help and used an incredible method. Not only did the twenty-four flying scales refine the invisible scales, but they also refine them into one with the body of the Yin God. When the sacrificial weapon suddenly appeared, it turned into a real thing very strange.
It is hard to say how good the cultivation level of Li Liuzhuo is. But according to Mei Zhenyi's deduction, if the bangs fight with it, the bangs will definitely lose at this time.
Mei Zhenyi returned to Pengze County Government and informed Di Renjie of his investigation results. The two discussed it in the study for a long time. Mei Zhenyi asked many questions and turned over the rules of the Tang Dynasty from beginning to end. Later, Mei Zhenyi stayed in the study alone, took out paper and pen to start writing.
He wrote down all the precepts of practicing various sects as he knew, such as Donghuamen, Miaofamen, Longhushan, Danxia Sect, etc., and wrote a series of names such as Xihaihuang, Daguanhu Five Demons, Wei Jiulan, and Wei Jiuzhen. He thought about it all night in the study.
The next day, they walked out of the study to find Di Renjie. They discussed the official documents of Haozhou Prefecture and sent Mei Yi to Haozhou immediately, and received a reply on the same day. On the third day, Di Renjie sent Pengze Yabos, led by Mei Yi, to notify the whole countryside in the name of Haozhou Prefecture, and posted and read a list of documents outside all lewd temples in the territory.
The list is as follows—
The demons and evil spirits in the mountains and wild places of Haozhou. The demons and evil spirits were striking the Pengze County Government, gathering people to drive away rain and clouds, causing severe drought in Pengze. The crime is really unforgivable. I was invited by the order of the Pengze Order Di Gong to take the order of Haozhou Prefecture to kill evil spirits here.
Thinking of God's virtue of being a virtuous person, the mountains and wild monsters feel that they are inspiring to be incompetent and restrained. I also do not want to be punished without teaching. I hereby make three promises with the monks living in various mountains and wilds.
First, you must not act like a person who appears and calls yourself a saint. You may confuse the countryside.
Second, do not obtain supernatural powers and forget the root of Dharma and harm sentient beings.
Third, it is forbidden to use Taoist techniques to seek evil and blackmail the people.
These three principles, I and my disciples will be protected by them as precepts. I will help Pengze Mansion to cure the witch wind of Jingchu, and I will post a notice to tell you that the monks in the mountains and fields here will be a blessing for benefiting the people and practicing for themselves.
If anyone who does not accept it and still wants to disturb the chaos, on the Dragon Boat Festival on the fifth day of the fifth month, I will hold a sword in Dagu Mountain, Pengze Lake. Three days later, I will burn all the lewd temples in Haozhou.
The last name of the list was Lu Chunyang, but the official seal of Haozhou Prefecture was stamped with the official seal of Haozhou Prefecture, and posted it outside the lewd temples in various places. In the name of the prefecture, local officials were ordered to read it in public, causing a huge wave among the people in the Haozhou area. Taoist Master Chunyang wrote a letter to the demons of Pengze, and agreed to fight on Dagushan Island, Pengze Lake on the Dragon Boat Festival on May 5th. Can he win? The local people were talking about it, and all hoped that Taoist Master Chunyang could fight to pacify the Wu Feng in Haozhou.
Insert a passage, Mei Zhenyi made three covenants in this list, and later spread them, which had a great influence on the world. It was called "dispersed precepts", and its full name was "dispersed precepts for the world's dispersed practice." These three were not casually established. He considered a lot of things for a long time, not only borrowed the original intention of protecting practice among the precepts of various sects, but also thought about the world that had traveled through the thousand years before.
These self-inspired mountains and wild monsters are also scattered cultivators in the broad sense. Mei Zhenyi established these three regulations, and the starting point of his wish is to target this special group of practitioners. He has seen many of them, including the five disciples on the Five Lakes Island, all of which are of this origin. This is actually a kind of protection for their practice, because Mei Zhenyi knows the fundamentals of cultivation very well, and has knowledge from the beginning to the complete realm of the Golden Immortal Land.
Later, these three covenants became the precepts for the practice of the world, and were called the "Divine Lord Ring", and the full name was "Three Precepts inside and outside the world". These were things that happened a long time later. At this time, Mei Zhenyi was just to assist Di Renjie in pursuing the rebellious monsters in the Pengze area to assist Di Renjie in the witch wind in Jingchu. He had not expected that the impact would be so great, and there was no question of the three precepts in the world, but it was just an agreement and warning for the immediate incident.
Practicing precepts is different from the laws in the secular world. It not only stipulates that things cannot be done, but also tells the disciples what they should do. The most important sentence in this verse is "These three principles, I will protect them as precepts."
Without this sentence, the first three agreements would become empty text and would not be circulated in later generations. The meaning is that these three agreements are not allowed to be controlled by you or not, but my disciples and I use them as a practice precept, and when we encounter this situation, we will stop them. After saying this, Mei Zhenyi starts from herself and stands up to fight against all evil spirits in Dagushan.
If the evil spirits in Pengze want to stop the burning of lust temples and ban the witches, then you will pass the Mei Zhenyi level first and fight with Mei Zhenyi on the Dragon Boat Festival. Three days later, Mei Zhenyi will destroy the lust temples in Haozhou.
