Chapter 238, Old things become new and return to the dream of immortality, where can I discuss the cultivation and seeking without desire

A white rainbow rose from the palace and turned into a white auspicious cloud under the feet of Zhenyuan Daxian. Zhenyuan Daxian waved his whisk and led it to the auspicious clouds flew into the lotus platform under the Wu Emperor's throne. The twelve-grade white lotus platform was perfect, and it closed strangely. The Wu Emperor's figure disappeared in it. Then the white lotus platform disappeared, and closed and curled and disappeared into another strange world.

Mei Zhenyi suddenly discovered that everything above the clouds had returned to "normality". Only a woman's soft voice came from afar: "Thank you, Zhenyuan Daxian, for taking incarnation and returning to her position."

Looking up, I saw a charming female Bodhisattva, wearing golden flames, holding a white lotus in his hand, sitting in the air and disappearing into the sky. Mei Zhenyi was right. Bodhisattva Mahasthamaprapta took back his incarnation and appeared in the air. When he saw it, his mount was a fat pig with fangs.

When Mei Zhenyi lowered her head and found that the clouds were empty and almost all the masters disappeared. He felt tired and had no action to fight with others. This was the first time he felt this way. Only the Spirit Pearl was still there, and he instantly came to him and helped him and said, "Mr. Mei, your cultivation level in this realm is still not enough to last for a long time. Are you a little dizzy? They have all left, and I will send you back to Wuzhou or to Luoyang Nanlu Gong Mansion?"

Mei Zhenyi shook her head: "Thank you, Immortal, please go by yourself, there is no need to see you off." As he said that, a white rainbow flew out of his sleeve and fell from the sky. A auspicious cloud also rose under his feet, and slowly fell into Luoyang City along the white rainbow.

This magic is not profound. Before his cultivation level could not fly, he used the magical method of flying in the sky with the magical use of the God Whip, but it looked very similar to the magic trick that Zhenyuan Daxian had just used. Now that he used this technique, the cleverness was completely different. He had hidden his body and was not noticed by mortals. He naturally cast his spells with no means to be hindered, and he did not deliberately consume any magic power.

After standing with the masters on the clouds for ten months, Mei Zhenyi was not without gains. Ling Zhuzi's eyes showed a look of admiration and surprise.

"Master, you are back, the master is so anxious!" The servant in front of the Nanlu Duke's Mansion saw a flash of eyes, and suddenly saw the eldest master walking in. Then another flower in front of him, a red shadow flashed, and Fairy Zhiyan met Mei Zhenyi.

"Zhenyi, you have been there for nearly a year, why can't you find any news?" Zhiyan asked in surprise and joy.

Mei Zhenyi smiled bitterly: "I haven't gone anywhere else. I only heard three Buddha's chants on the clouds, and I slowly told you in detail the twists and turns, now I'm going to see my father."

Zhiyan stepped forward and grabbed him: "You look so tired?"

Mei Zhenyi: "I'm a little tired, but it's okay. It's hard for you to look for me everywhere in the past few months."

"Father, how do you see Empress Wei compete with Emperor Wu?" This was Mei Zhenyi's question in the study.

Mei Xiaolang shook his head straight: "Empress Wei is more than Emperor Wu, and he is far behind the world, and he is just a good match for his own skin. He will sooner or later take the disaster."

Mei Zhenyi: "Empress Wei took his own life but his anger was not exhausted. Now Zhang Jianzhi and five others were crowned kings. It seems that they respected him and were afraid that disaster had come. The court was in chaos, and my father should seek self-protection. It would be better to be ill and resign from his official position than to forgive his unfilial words. How about returning to Wuzhou to recuperate? Or follow what Yang Yuanyan did, lend him a monk and leave Beijing."

General Yang Yuanyan of Yulin was also a hero who supported Li Xian and restored the Tang Dynasty. He was the one who had plotted against Zhang Jianzhi in the river. He was now named Duke of Hongnong County. Seeing that Zhang Jianzhi and five others were named King and dismissed. Wu Sansi was in charge of the court and also became aware of avoiding disaster. He ran to the Mingtang to worship Buddha and point to relics, and praised the Buddha's merits, and applied to resign and resign as a monk.

Mei Zhenyi saw both the palace affairs and the court affairs clearly. She briefly introduced the current situation to her father and advised Mei Xiaolang to protect herself.

Mei Xiaolang smiled and said, "I have no supernatural powers as a father, but I can see clearly. Because of you, I have a bad relationship with Zhang Jian. Everyone in the court knows that it can be safe. But I am different from you. I live in Guanzhong all my life and still want to spend my whole life in Chang'an. That is where I grew up."

Mei Zhenyi: "I understand. Now that Emperor Wu has just passed away in Shangyang Palace, my father can ask for orders to protect the coffin and return to Chang'an. This is a way to escape. I think Empress Wei will not be able to make a few years of trouble with power. I have something to ask for."

Mei Xiaolang waved his hand: "Do you want to tie your hair into a Taoist in the future and stop attacking the Duke of Southern Lu?"

Without opening a word, the father could also know his son's feelings. Mei Zhenyi nodded gratefully: "I am a practitioner of Taoism. Sooner or later, let Zhenting inherit the title of Duke of Southern Lu."

Mei Xiaolang sighed: "This is what Yu'e asked for back then, so she caused some trouble for you. Unexpectedly, you didn't want to be here at all. Zhenting should stay by my side. I would like to ask you for something for my father. If you have the opportunity to comfort Pei Yu'e when you return to Wuzhou."

Why should I comfort Pei Yu'e? Li Xian succeeded to the throne and pardoned the world. Many important officials in the previous dynasty were also pardoned by Wu Zetian, including the late Chu Suiliang, which is equivalent to the current rehabilitation. But Li Xian refused to pardon Pei Yan alone, which is normal. Pei Yan expelled him from the throne at the beginning, and Emperor Zhongzong of Tang hated Pei Yan deeply.

After discussing the affairs of the court with her father, Mei Zhenyi returned to Wuzhou with Zhiyan. Then Mei Xiaolang took the initiative to ask for the order to stay in Chang'an and first protect the coffin of Emperor Wu to Qianling. Wu Zetian was stripped of the emperor's title and became the "Empress Zetian's Great Sage" and buried with Li Zhi. In front of Qianling, only a huge stele without words was left for her, and later generations could comment.

When Mei Zhenyi met Pei Yu'e again in Jingwu Villa, she had no hatred, and only sighs and pity were left in her heart. Pei Yu'e was twenty-eight years old when Mei Xiaolang divorced her wife. She was in her youthful years, with a bright and charming face. Now twenty years have passed, and there is still the beautiful shadow of the past on her face, but she is already haggard and old, and her youth is no longer gray. It is not that she has poor maintenance or that Mei Zhenyi intends to make things difficult for her, but that she is not feeling well in her years.

Seeing Pei Yu'e and Mei Zhenyi can also feel the suffering of all living beings in the cycle of reincarnation. She is so prominent or desolate in her life. In comparison, she is much lucky, and Yuzhen, Gu'er, Sui'er and others are also much lucky than Pei Yu'e.

Mei Zhenyi didn't say much, but just talked about the changes in the palace. Emperor Wu died and Li Xian ascended the throne, but Pei Yan was not pardoned. He advised Pei Yu'e not to worry, and just wait a few more years to take good care of her health in Jingwu Villa.

Subsequently, from the second year of Shenlong (706 AD) to the seventh year of Kaiyuan (719 AD), Mei Zhenyi practiced in Qingyi Sanshan, and only once went out of the mountain. It was at the end of Jinglong (709 AD). Someone went to Wuzhou to visit Princess Yuzhen.

The visitor was a man in his thirties, with a handsome appearance and a handsome appearance. His surname was Li and his name was Longji. He was the third son of the Prime Minister Li Dan. He was named King Linzi and appointed as the King of Luzhou as a Bieguard. Now he is ordered to enter the court and take this opportunity to pass by Wuzhou to visit Yuzhen.

On the surface, Princess Yuzhen still wanted to hide her intentions and only met her clan brother Li Longji in Yuzhen Temple. Unexpectedly, the main purpose of Li Longji to come to Wuzhou was to see Mei Zhenyi. She also told Yuzhen privately about her purpose, hoping that Yuzhen would ask Mei Zhenyi to meet her secretly.

Li Longji was the King of Linzi. When he passed by Wuzhou, the government must be careful to serve him. People around him never leave him for a moment, and they all meant protection and surveillance. Only when they met Yu Zhenzhen could they be convenient for him to leave. Mei Zhenyi was also surprised to hear the news. Of course he knew who Li Longji was. Isn’t he the Emperor Xuanzong of Tang in later generations?

The King of Linzi wanted to meet him and sent someone to invite him. Why did he meet in private through Princess Yuzhen's agreement? He must have had some plans. Historical foundation in traveling through the front line was not good, but he also knew that it was Li Longji and Princess Taiping who eliminated Empress Wei and helped Emperor Ruizong Li Dan ascend to the throne. Then Ruizong abdicated in Li Longji. Xuanzong ascended the throne and eradicated Princess Taiping's party, and founded the Kaiyuan prosperous era in the Anshi Rebellion.

But none of these happened, at least in Mei Zhenyi's eyes, it was nothing.

Mei Zhenyi met Li Longji in Yuzhen Temple and only brought Zhang Guo alone. General Dingyuan was about to salute the King of Linzi. Li Longji had already given a tribute to Mei Zhenyi and called Mei Zhenyi "Brother".

This title made Mei Zhenyi stunned. The ancients had very particular names and names, and they were suitable for different occasions. The title was a respectful title. Juniors should not call the elders directly, and peers often called their surnames. For example, Li Longji called Mei Zhenyi "Mei Zhenren", "Brother Mei", "Mr. Mei Gongzi", and "General Mei". It is completely normal to call her name directly "Mei Zhenyi" in other places.

Only acquaintances with good personal relationships are called "其", and Mei Zhenyi's word "其", which was given by Di Renjie back then, but almost no one called him that. Zhiyan, Yu Zhen and others only called him "其", which is not because of disrespect, but because of intimacy that he has been used to.

As the king, when he met for the first time, he called Mei Zhenyi "relaxed as brother". Not only did he make a fuss, but he was also obviously approaching him. Li Longji deliberately made friends with Mei Zhenyi, not for anything else. He came to his father Mei Xiaolang, and he repeatedly praised the loyalty and great contributions of the country in his words. He was a pillar of the army and the court.

Li Longji also said that he had heard about Mei Zhenyi's "deeds" for a long time, and he had been admiring it for a long time. He felt close to him at first sight, but his identity was inconvenient. Now he is sensitive to the situation, so he met in private. He also thanked the Mei family for "care" for Princess Yuzhen for many years, and almost called Mei Zhenyi "brother-in-law".

When you hear the string song, you will know the meaning of elegance. Of course, Mei Zhenyi understands what he means - Li Longji is in Chang'an. He is obviously making friends with influential families in the court, and is probably preparing for Queen Wei and others. Mei Zhenyi has a good impression of Li Longji. This person has a good appearance and speech, and is quite graceful.

The King of Linzi was beautiful, and Mei Zhenyi thanked him repeatedly, and also expressed that he would send Zhang Guo to Wuzhou to Chang'an at the end of the year, and privately conveyed the beautiful intentions of the King of Linzi to his father.

Yu Zhen is a Taoist priest, and Li Longji also knew that Mei Zhenyi was a Taoist practitioner. During the conversation, he also expressed his feelings, saying that after returning to Beijing, he would advise the emperor to change the style of worshipping monks and nuns left by Wu Zetian during the dynasty. After the Li family became the ancestor of Taoism, he should advocate Taoist sects and promote it. Mei Zhenyi always smiled and said in his heart: "Mr. Sui must like this person."

The second year after Li Longji left Wuzhou and returned to Beijing, the palace incident occurred. Empress Wei and Princess Anle poisoned Li Xian, supported the puppet young emperor Li Chongmao to ascend the throne, and attempted to imitate Wu Zetian's magic weapon in the court. Just ten days later, Li Longji and Princess Taiping attacked the capital, killing all the Wei family's party, and Li Dan ascended the throne.

Li Dan ascended the throne and pardoned the world, and prosely appointed as the Grand Marshal for Pei Yan, and issued an edict to praise him. It was expected that Li Dan would rehabilitate Pei Yan. When Pei Yan drove Li Xian off the throne and helped him up to the land, it was Li Dan. They had always had a strong personal relationship.

Mei Zhenting sent someone to take her mother Pei Yu'e back to Chang'an. A year later, Pei Yu'e died of illness in Chang'an. She finally waited for this day in her lifetime.

Since standing in the clouds in Luoyang for ten months, I have seen enough of the dogs in the palace to force the stove to fall. Mei Zhenyi has become calm about the chaos in the world, and has only devoted herself to practicing in the three mountains of Qingyi, and has made extremely rapid progress in magic power. His life looks like a leisurely cloud in the world, but in fact Mei Zhenyi knows that he will face a lot of troubles and disasters in his practice.

Time flies in the seventh year of Kaiyuan (719 AD), and Mei Zhenyi is also practicing. Zuo Youxian came to visit the year before and said that his heavenly tribulation was coming. Mei Zhenyi sent Zhang Guo to Kunlun Fairyland and waited in Zuo Youxian Cave. If Zuo Youxian has experienced the tribulation, Zhang Guo will temporarily take care of his disciples and wait for Zuo Youxian to come back.

Zuo Youxian has established caves in Kunlun Fairyland over the years, and the scale has become increasingly larger. In addition to the two beautiful girls Zuo Jinnu and Zuo Dannu's attendants, he also accepted a group of disciples. This time he is no longer called Zuo Dao Sect, but is renamed Tai Dao Sect. Mei Zhenyi and Zuo Youxian are just personal nominal masters and apprentices, and it is nothing that he has established his own door in Kunlun Fairyland. Tai Dao is a little more than the Great Dao, and this Zuo Supreme is still crazy enough.

In addition to Zuo Youxian, Fairy Zhiyan also practiced perfectly in the world. Mei Zhenyi watched her ascend to become an immortal on the thunder tribulation of the sky on Fangzheng Peak. After Zhiyan became an immortal, he visited the Saint Realm of Yaochi, but did not stay in the Heavenly Court. Mei Zhenyi waited on Fangzheng Peak until Zhiyan came back.

Zhiyan returned to the world and came to Mei Zhenyi. He punched her in the chest, then threw herself into Mei Zhenyi's arms and said, "I finally understand why every time you take action, you have to steal the killing skills. This is clearly a way to take on the karma of oneself and don't want to increase the power of the heavenly tribulation of the earth. If you had known why the heavenly tribulation was! Right?"

Mei Zhenyi hugged her and smiled, "I really knew it a long time ago that Qingfeng Fairy Child told me on purpose, would you blame me?"

"I want to blame you, but I don't know how to blame you. Now that your karma is deep, Tianxing may be difficult to deal with in the future. Qingfeng Xianshen is really. Why do you tell you those?" Zhiyan's eyes were almost red as he spoke.

Mei Zhenyi reached out and scraped the tip of her nose: "Do you want to shed tears of immortals and help me refine Daluo achievement pills? Qingfeng Fairy Child is kind, and I have my own way. Have you ever seen something that stumps your Taoist couple?"

The couple were talking when they suddenly heard someone in their ears: "What are you two choreographing me? Zhiyan has become a fairy path, but has he learned to talk behind his back? Mei Zhenyi, come with me." The fairy boy Qingfeng jumped to the top of the Dharma pillar from the direction of Wuhu Villa and waved to Mei Zhenyi and spoke.

Mei Zhenyi patted Zhiyan on the shoulder: "You have been exhausted from turning back and forth with two consecutive days. Let's take a break for now. I'll go see what the fairy boy is doing."

Mei Zhenyi left Qingyi Sanshan with the breeze and floated along Jiulian Mountain. She came to the Qingyi River at the foot of Jingting Mountain and stood still. Mei Zhenyi stepped forward and said, "The fairy boy has not come out of the mountain again for more than ten years. Today, she suddenly called me here, why didn't he say another word?"

Qingfeng stretched out his hand, and a golden translucent whip slowly stretched out, and turned around and asked, "Can you recognize this thing?"

With Mei Zhenyi's cultivation and concentration, even if Pi Li was in front of her, she would not change her color and blink. However, her face changed a few times at this time. She stood there and opened her mouth for a long time before she said something: "This, this, isn't this a monkey whip?"

What I saw in front of me was the monkey-beating whip obtained from Mei Taigong before Mei’s journey. The past that had been covered with dust for many years had long been no longer turbulent in his heart. However, when he saw this object at first sight today, his spiritual sense flashed. The twenty years of experience before traveling flashed by in Lingtaichung, just like the monkey-beating whip that slowly unfolded in front of him.

Qingfeng smiled faintly: "Monkey Whip? This is a good name. The whip technique and magic weapon have the same name. It's decided! I took the dragon tendon and Pangu vine to refine it, and finally achieved this magic weapon today."

"The magic of this weapon is not like other difficult-to-use divine artifacts. Even those who have not learned the path can use it as a long whip. The higher the level of cultivation, the wider the magical use." Mei Zhenyi said to herself. This long whip was not known to be a magical artifact in Mei Xi's hands. Now Mei Zhenyi witnessed its origin, but she is like an old friend who met again many years later.

Qingfeng: "Yes, you can see its beauty before you even get it."

Mei Zhenyi's expression was a little strange: "I have seen it. In the dream of losing my soul in my childhood, the fairy boy called me to come because he wanted to observe this newly refined artifact?"

Qingfeng looked at him with his head: "I haven't woken up yet, but I have a great dream of reincarnation? Look at your strange expression, it must be the opportunity to practice. Do you still remember the threats on Feijin Peak back then? It's exactly twenty-three years now."

Zen Master Zhishen established the Jiulin Zen Temple, and left a seat on the altar to wait for the monk to come to the abbot, and left a purple gold bowl as a magic weapon to maintain the temple. At that time, Mei Zhenyi was wondering which monk Zhishen wanted to welcome? Qingfeng once said that only when this monk came could Mei Zhenyi be able to break through the transformation of the Yang God’s incarnation, and only then could he reach the end of worldly Dharma in practice. The time for prophecy was this year.

There have been many changes in Jiulin Zen Temple in recent years, but Mei Zhenyi ignored the practice of the Qing Dynasty in the mountains.

After Zhisheng left Wuzhou, he left his disciple Zen Master Chuji as the abbot. Although Chuji was also a great monk of his generation, he was obviously not the one Mei Zhenyi was waiting for. A few years later, Zhisheng left Luoyang and entered Sichuan. He passed by Wuzhou and took Chuji away, leaving behind a secret Zen case.

Wu Zetian issued an edict to ask the Sixth Patriarch Huineng to send the Kapok robes to Luoyang, and Huineng followed suit. The Kapok robes fell into the hands of Emperor Wu. One day, he gathered the monks in the palace to choose one to reward him. He asked at that time: "Are you wise men, do you want me?"

Shen Xiu and others who most wanted to get the kapok robes all replied: "There is no desire." Only Zhishu answered: "There is desire." Emperor Wu asked Zhishu again: "Why are there desire?" Zhishu answered: "If there is life, there is desire." Emperor Wu gave the kapok robes to Zhishu.

Zhishen traveled south with a kapok robe, passed by Wuzhou and then recruited disciples to enter Shu together. From then on, the kapok robe never appeared in the world again, and it also responded to Huineng's words back then: "I received this robe to practice Buddhism. If the way of enlightenment has been passed on, the clothes are no longer necessary. Zen Buddhism will send the name Dharma heir to this end." These are all things before Zhishen passed away, and it was long before Emperor Wu's death.
