031 Upper, strip off the floating name and leave the immortals
In the evening of that day, someone rode a fast horse to send a wooden box from Qiyunguan to the Wuzhou Governor's Mansion. The wooden box contained a corpse of a demon scorpion that was more than one foot long. There was also a "Immortal Edict" written on Huang Ling, which was written by Chun Yangzi, the head of Qiyunguan Temple, to Wuzhou Governor Jiang Hua, which reads-
"The monsters in Wuzhou are in trouble and stealing babies to practice evil methods. How can I sit and watch such acts of harming creatures? Now that the monster has been killed, the baby has been rescued, I will tell Wuzhou Prefecture and the people to rest assured. I have practiced here for several years and have been worshipped by villagers. Today, I will kill the monsters and save the people in return. After the matter in Wuzhou, Yunzhi will no longer be nostalgic and will travel to the Five Mountains to visit the immortal friends.
Qi Yunguan is the place of Mei family in Wuzhou. He has specially recruited the Mei family to come and explain. After this, he asked the Futai and the Mei family to discuss with the Mei family to choose another master of the temple. He heard that Sun Zhenren Simiao was a guest at Mei Mansion. His senior Zhenren was a master of virtue in the world. The people of Benshan were far away, so he asked him to temporarily lead Qi Yunguan. Sun Zhenren has made contributions to the world and will definitely be able to benefit all directions of Wuzhou. Please be careful and good at serving him."
This letter cannot be regarded as a fake, because it was written by Lu Chunyang. Of course, it was also written by Zhang Guo at Mei Zhenyi's instructions. Mei Zhenyi handled the matter very cleverly. The charge of stealing the baby was put on the unknown scorpion demon who was killed by Mei Yi. The credit for killing the monster and saving the baby was actually put on Lu Chunyang's head. The scorpion demon was dead and could not speak, and Lu Chunyang also left Wuzhou and left Wuzhou without knowing where to go. The details of this matter could not be investigated in detail, but the children were saved and the monster was also killed, so there was no need to pursue it again.
The most important point is that there seems to be no trace of Ming Chongyan appearing from beginning to end, and it has nothing to do with Jingwu Villa!
Now Lu Chunyang became famous! He was originally just a noble "Immortal" who took a group of Taoists to pretend to be a god and deceive the people. There were not many people who had seen him closely. At this time, he transformed into a good reputation that benefited the whole city. Moreover, his achievements were gone, leaving only the reputation behind him. His noble character was admired.
That night, the corpse of the scorpion was sent to the prefecture. The next day, Mei Zhenyi sent a ship to send more than 60 rescued babies back to Wuzhou City. At the same time, it was reported that the immortal Lu had already left with his disciples. Wuzhou City was sensation. How many people were very grateful and respectful when they mentioned the name of Lu Chunyang. Later, some people even had to worship and pray for blessings to Chunyangzi Lu Xianren during festivals. Mei Zhenyi first met Lu Chunyang and was surprised to find that the legendary Lu Zu Lu Dongbin was actually a liar in the martial arts world. He did not expect that the name of Chunyang Zhenren in later generations was first spread from his hands.
In addition to Lu Chunyang, the masters thanked by the people of Wuzhou also had a miracle doctor Sun Simiao. After the baby was rescued from the demon's nest, Sun Simiao prescribed a dose of soul-waking and nourishing the spirit soup, allowing these children who were frightened and tortured and fainted for two nights to recuperate and take. He did not charge a penny when he was given the medicine. It is said that Lu Xianren left the money he had saved in the temple over the years before leaving. These were worshipped by the people in Wuzhou. Sun Zhenren used this to buy medicine for the people.
After receiving the letter, the governor of Wuzhou and local officials naturally did not dare to neglect it. They came to discuss how to deal with Qi Yunguan? The Taoist temple naturally had to have a Taoist abbot. In the Tang Dynasty, if you want to become a formal monk or Taoist priest who was officially recognized, the conditions were very strict. Taking monks as an example, not only had to pass the exam, but also had strict quota restrictions. It is not as simple as shaving your head by yourself, but even more difficult than taking a key university now. Monks have formal identity certificates, which are called "Duzi", and Taoist priests are called "Lu Shu".
In the Tang Dynasty, monks did not pay taxes to serve. Before the equal land system collapsed in the middle and middle Tang Dynasty, formal temples and Taoist temples also had land allocated by the state as a fostering industry. Monks may not farm in person, but tenants farmed and paid rent to temples and Taoist temples every year. The "Equal Land Law" of the Tang Dynasty stipulated that "Any Taoist priests give 30 acres of land, and the women's crowns twenty acres, and monks and nuns are the same."
In a hurry, she could not find a respected Taoist to the abbot Qi Yunguan. Mei Zhenyi thought about Sun Simiao. He was a Taoist priest who received the rituals. However, Sun Simiao was visiting Wuzhou and did not settle down. When Mei Zhenyi was in good health, she might leave at any time. So Mei Zhenyi asked the old man tentatively: "I want to ask the old god to take Qi Yunguan for a while, but I don't know if it is possible?"
Sun Simiao replied: "I said I would stay here for a year. If there is no one in this temple for a while, it would be okay if I live in the temple for a while....I see the place is beautiful and the wind is beautiful. If I am here, you can move in too." In fact, Sun Simiao did not have to stay for a year. Mei Zhenyi's body recovered much faster than he expected, but at this time he had the idea of collecting the successor of the robe and bowl, so of course he did not rush to leave.
This would be easy to deal with, and Wuzhou was not an objection. As long as Sun Simiao was still here for one day, Qi Yunguan would be his abbot. Mei Zhenyi was not a sudden idea to worship Qi Yunguan to Sun Simiao. He had long seen that the old god was not comfortable living in Jingwu Villa. Sun Simiao's reputation was too high and his status was too high, so this time he did not disturb the local people and the people. Outsiders did not know that he would definitely wake Mei Zhenyi up this time.
Sun Simiao was a doctor who traveled all over the world all his life and never forgot to practice medicine and save the world wherever he went. When he decided to live in Wuzhou for a long time, he naturally felt a little uncomfortable in the villa because Jingwu Villa was a private residence of Mei's family and it was impossible to open a medical practice. The old man's past habits and what he thought in his heart, Mei Zhenyi also found out through the occasional chat between the two medicine children. Now, he left Lu Chunyang and worshipped Qi Yunguan to Sun Simiao. The people of Wuzhou also heard that the miracle doctor Sun Zhenren was hanging pots on Qi Yun Peak.
Sun Simiao was very satisfied with Mei Zhenyi's series of measures to deal with the matter and praised it in his heart. Just after Mei Zhenyi asked Qi Yunguan for arrangements, the old man sat there and touched the back of his head and said, "Teng'er, after this incident, you made me feel very comforted."
Mei Zhenyi lowered her head and said respectfully: "Why did the old man say this? You just reminded me yesterday to pay attention to Mei Yi's temperament, but I didn't immediately think of it, so that he killed all the Taoist priests in the temple in the blink of an eye. At this time, you praise me, and you are really ashamed and nervous."
After hearing this, Sun Simiao's expression became a little sad, and he sighed and said, "People get along with each other have an influence on each other's nature, especially when you are young, you are most affected by every word and action of the people around you, so I remind you... The reason why I praise you is because you have great wisdom, which is probably born with nature. I hope you will not be erased when you are adults."
Mei Zhenyi frowned: "What kind of wisdom do I have? I'll give up the award."
Sun Simiao shook his head: "You can kill evil spirits and save babies, such things that you gain both fame and fortune and are respected by the whole city without any contribution and push all the contributions to Chun Yangzi. This is not a cleverness!"
Mei Zhenyi smiled: "Who doesn't want fame and fortune? But this matter is important, and many inside stories are still unpredictable. In short, it is not a good thing. I don't want to have anything to do with the Mei family. I can just give an explanation to the people of Wuzhou."
Sun Simiao nodded: "This is your extraordinary point. If you change someone, as long as you don't tell the story of Ming Chongyan, you are just asking the scorpion demon to make trouble, and you will recognize the credit for the praise of the people. But you have considered it more profoundly. You can let go of this huge fame, wealth and merit without thinking... I heard that Mei Yi was entrusted by your father and wanted to teach you how to protect yourself. It seems that you have learned to protect yourself."
Mei Zhenyi was a little embarrassed by his praise: "Don't always praise me. I am still young and I don't understand a lot. In the future, I will ask the old gods more for advice."
Sun Simiao had a very kind look: "Please ask me? Then I will ask you one thing, how should Lu Chunyang deal with it?"
Mei Zhenyi: "I just want to ask for advice. Is there a way to abolish the Taoist cultivation of such people?"
Sun Simiao's eyes lit up: "Yes, I will. As long as you subdue him so that he cannot resist, I can apply a needle to disperse all his practice without hurting his original body."
Mei Zhenyi was slightly surprised: "Your old acupuncture technique is so magical?"
Sun Simiao said lightly: "It's nothing magical. I have told you about the principle of double-edged swords. The same is true for other skills in the world. They can save people or hurt people. They have nothing to do with skills, but only the user... Teng'er, do you want to learn?"
Mei Zhenyi nodded straight, but inexplicably remembered the scene when Mei Taigong taught him kung fu before traveling through time. She asked, "Can the world's cultivators be able to spend all their cultivation?"
Sun Simiao also nodded and said, "If there is no cultivation of the Dacheng Zhenren, the foundation can be abolished. Otherwise, if any disciples in various cultivation sects commit crimes or have incorrect mental skills, what will the teacher deal with?"
Mei Zhenyi remembered Mei Taineng, the cousin of Mei Taigong in the Republic of China era. She was the one who cast a spell and called her young wife to go up the mountain in the middle of the night and was later taken to the target by the People's Liberation Army. Mei Taineng ended up because the elders of the Mei family did not have the will to destroy his cultivation base at the beginning. It seems that sometimes the elders abolished their children's cultivation is not only a punishment but also a kind of protection, otherwise it may harm others and oneself. Thinking of this, he asked again: "What if he has already reached the realm of a great success?"
Sun Simiao: "It will also be injured, but the level of cultivation will not be lost. As long as you don't die, you can always find a way to recuperate and recover. Therefore, all major sects have conventions and customs. If there is no realm of a true person, such as monks who do not attain the Arhat Fruit, they cannot pass on secret methods to be worshipped by their masters and disciples, but it is not prohibited to communicate with each other." According to him, Lu Chunyang put on the air of an immortal to collect Mei Zhenyi as a disciple, which was obviously unrighteous. Sun Simiao should have a clear idea, but he observed how Mei Zhenyi responded.
"Then if you have already achieved the realm of becoming a true person, won't it be useless? What should you do if such a person commits a crime?" Mei Zhenyi was deliberately trying to break the casserole and ask to the end.
Sun Simiao smiled bitterly and said, "If you want to punish a person, it is not just a way to eliminate his cultivation. If the sin is unforgivable, your life will be difficult to keep. ... If your cultivation reaches the realm of transcendence, you can also be destroyed. At that time, this person may be able to be reborn, but because the furnace and cauldron are no longer, your cultivation must be repeated."
"Then you can go further, for example, you have cultivated into the legendary realm of true immortals, and what if the Bodhisattva commits a sin?" Mei Zhenyi still asked herself.
Sun Simiao's face slightly darkened: "It's really a child's words. Have you ever heard of a sinful Bodhisattva in ancient times? Can practice be called the Bodhisattva fruit?... Even a true immortal is not invincible. Snakes and rats are running around, and they are in awe when they see the eagle flying in the sky, but they don't know that the eagle is also afraid!... It's too early to ask about these mysteries. Don't be too ambitious when you are a person. You should take care of your body first and then talk about the rest."
Mei Zhenyi finally stopped asking and answered well, "Okay, I will remember your old teachings. Can you ask you for help today? I don't want to take Lu Chunyang's life. Can you use your skills to destroy his cultivation? I really want to learn this magic needle skill. If you encounter such a thing in the future, you don't have to bother you." At this time, he showed a very friendly smile, and there was a trace of Meixi before traveling through time. Is this smile his signature to make a living.
Sun Simiao: "Actually, if you call Zhang Guo, the black plum spirit, to take action, it will also destroy his cultivation. But if he does it, I'm afraid that Lu Chunyang's life will be 90% gone. I'll do it."
Mei Zhenyi thought and asked back: "Did you know Zhang Guo's identity before? Why didn't you tell me?"
Sun Simiao smiled: "Yes, I saw it the first time I saw him. Is it any more? You haven't asked me... I won't say anything, go find Lu Chunyang. Actually, I really want to know how you will deal with this person."
...
Chunyangzi, a figure who was admired by the people of Wuzhou overnight and was rumored to be like a living god, was now covered in disheveled hair and was locked in the cellar of Qi Yunguan, with only an oil lamp the size of a soybean. This cellar was originally used to collect money. Skewers of copper coins were scattered on the ground next to it, and yellow and white things were hidden in the box, and many rare antiques tricked by the people of Wuzhou were placed on the shelf. At this moment, the money was coldly staying there seemed to be a kind of ridicule, which made Lu Chunyang feel a little scared.
Lu Chunyang was thrown here by Mei Yi. Mei Yi didn't say a word at that time, and left without looking at the money all over the floor. Lu Chunyang didn't know how he offended the young master of the Mei family, nor did he understand how these people would deal with him? The skylight was not known in the cellar. Around the night, the housekeeper Zhang Guo brought him a bowl of clear water and two steamed buns, which made Lu Chunyang feel a little relieved. It seemed that these people didn't want to kill him immediately, otherwise there would be no need to deliver food.
He had just finished his meal, Mei Yi, who had a murderous look on his face, opened the cellar and walked in with a lantern. Before Lu Chunyang could ask questions, Mei Yi waved his hand and punched him out. When Lu Chunyang woke up, he felt a burning pain in his head. It was beaten by Mei Yi, and at the same time, there were spots of sourness and numbness all over his body, but for some reason, there were two people in front of him. Mei Zhen, a young master from Jingwu Villa, sat on a backrest bed wearing a fox fur, and Mei Yi, who was standing next to him with a cold face, stood pressing the sword.
Seeing Mei Zhenyi, Lu Chunyang suddenly felt cold, and a chill spread throughout his body. He couldn't help but tremble and curled up in a ball. It was already deep winter, and Lu Chunyang was only wearing a thin moon-white satin robe. He used to have a good cultivation level and could not be afraid of the cold and heat, but now... Lu Chunyang suddenly realized that the little Taoist skills he had been practicing hard had been dispersed!
"Little Marquis, why do you want to do this?" Lu Chunyang spoke in a trembling voice, his voice hoarse and unlike his own voice.
Mei Zhenyi was laughing, and she felt cold no matter how she looked at her smile. She smiled and said, "Do you want to know what's going on? Then I will tell you carefully. You wrote that letter yourself, and the situation should be much clearer, right? The immortal Donghua you mentioned is a scorpion demon who does everything he does. He colluded with you to steal babies all over the city to practice evil magic. This kind of harm to life is angered by both the gods! Now that the monster has been killed, what else do you have to say?"
Lu Chunyang snatched the truth: "There is no such thing. I really don't know anything about it. That man really called himself the Immortal of Donghua. I just took him to Chaotian Cave!"
Mei Zhenyi raised her eyebrows and said, "Oh? You are so innocent! Then let's talk about what happened the night before yesterday. I like to listen to stories."
Lu Chunyang no longer dared to hide it, and explained in detail the process of meeting the "Donghua Immortal" that night, even including every conversation and every action. When Mei Zhenyi heard it, she cursed and laughed in her heart. She scolded Ming Chongyan and laughed at him. Lu Chunyang ran to Jingwu Villa to use tricks to deceive him, but turned around but was deceived by Ming Chongyan with the same method. After he finished speaking, Mei Zhenyi asked slowly: "The story is quite interesting, but do you believe it yourself?"
Lu Chunyang swears to the sky: "I don't tell a single word of lies, otherwise the sky will be struck by lightning!"
Mei Zhenyi waved her hand impatiently: "When you go out, you'll swear. Why are you struck by lightning in the cellar now? Think about it yourself, the famous fairy Lu who saved the people from water and fire was actually deceived by a monster and helped the monster do a huge evil. Will anyone believe it? Anyway, I will never believe it."
"Why did the young master give the credit for killing demons and saving people?" At this time, Lu Chunyang remembered the letter he was forced to write.
Chapter completed!
