Chapter 056: The Dharma body does not rise to the altar, the incense on earth will be thankful as usual

Mei Zhenyi faced the direction of Zhongli Quan flying away, bowed her head and stood silently for a long time.

He didn't mention how he felt in his heart. He just said that Zhong Liquan flew to the place where Mei Zhenyi couldn't see it and stopped. He reached out and took out the red envelope containing New Year's money, opened it, took the five cents into his arms, and then folded the paper into a paper crane with the paper wrapped in the money, threw it into the sky. The paper crane seemed to be alive, flapping its wings and flew north.

When casting a spell, Zhongli Quan's body was like lightning, flashing westward and rushing to the Kunlun Fairyland without returning. The paper crane was protected by the immortal magic, and was not afraid of wind and rain, and day and night, flew north all the way. A day later, he had already arrived over the Zhongnan Mountains and headed straight to the direction of Tailao Peak.

A hundred miles away from Tailao Peak, in an unknown quiet valley, there was a cute little girl as carved as pink and jade pointed at the sky and shouted: "Brother Qingfeng, what is it flying in the sky?"

Not far behind her, a boy in feathered clothes looked up and said, "That is the paper crane sent by the immortals in the world. It seems that he flew to Tailao Peak."

These two are the fairy boys Qingfeng and Mingyue mentioned above. Mingyue blinked her eyes and waved her little hands and said, "It's so interesting, I want to see it."

Qingfeng waved his sleeves into the sky without saying a word, and a wisp of fairy wind appeared in the air, as if he had a winding tail, and he was catching the paper crane. The paper crane had the body protected by the immortal magic, and it flashed flexibly in the air, but was not caught.

"Hey, there are some tricks." Qingfeng was slightly surprised, and his fingers were out of his sleeve and bounced into the sky. The wind in the air danced, making the paper crane roar and made it sound. Finally, he struggled and fell down. Qingfeng caught it with one hand and handed it to Mingyue and said, "If you like it, just watch it slowly. After you finish it, you will send it back to someone."

Mingyue came forward and was about to pick her up, but suddenly she frowned and her cute little nose retracted her hand: "I don't like the breath above!"

Qingfeng said lightly: "It seems to be the smell of copper in the mortal world. Although this is a paper crane made of immortal magic, the paper used for stacking cranes is a worldly thing. It is normal for you to not like this kind of breath." As he said that, the paper crane flapped its wings and flew into the sky again, flying towards Tailao Peak.

Watching the paper crane fly away, Qingfeng turned around and asked again: "Mingyue. How many years have it been since I met you in Wenzui Yam Field?"

Mingyue reached out and touched her ears, thinking, "I can't remember it, it's been more than a thousand years."

Qingfeng: "Yes, it's been more than a thousand years, and you haven't changed at all. I know you very well. This is not the place you stay in the world. So I have been waiting for someone with destiny to come and find a place for immortals to practice for you and me."

Mingyue: "More than a year ago, you looked at the clouds in the south, and didn't you say that people who are destined to be born there would pass by here, and would you plan a fairy cave heaven? When will that person come?"

Qingfeng: "Today, this paper crane flew from that place to Tailao Peak to report the message. The person who sent the message was Mr. Donghua. He ordered the worldly descendants in Tailao Peak to take good care of a man named Mei Zhenyi in Wuzhou, and this person may be what I call a destined person."

Mingyue: "Did you calculate so accurately?"

Qingfeng shook his head: "It's not very accurate, it's just a hazy feeling."

"How do you know that the paper crane was sent by Mr. Donghua?" The little girl seemed to be curious about any questions.

When she asked her questions, Qingfeng didn't look impatient, but said lightly: "There is the divine mark of Mr. Donghua on it, otherwise how would he send a message? You have actually seen Mr. Donghua, his surname is Zhongli. Two hundred years ago, he went to Wenzui Mountain to pay homage to Zhenyuan Daxian, and went to our medicine field to collect medicine. He put a hairpin on his head and a wine gourd hung on his waist."

Mingyue patted her little hands and said, "I remembered that he came to ask for medicine. You said he could pick it by himself, but he wanted to drink a sip of wine from his gourd, but he drank it dry in one sip! Later, you got poisoned by the wine and blushed and drank it for an hour. I was so worried at that time. Later, you cast spells and detoxified yourself."

Qingfeng shook his head: "I didn't cast spells to detoxify, it's not alcohol poisoning. It's because I'm drunk. Legend has it that if I drink too much wine, I'll get drunk."

Mingyue: "The paper crane comes from the south. Do you think that the person from the earth should also come from the south?"

Qingfeng closed his eyes, not knowing what he was silent in his heart. After a moment of opening his eyes, he replied, "This man is coming soon. The paper crane comes from the south, but he goes from north." As he said that, he pointed northward, which was the direction of Chang'an.

Mingyue: "He is coming from the north? Aren't people in the south?"

Qingfeng: "There is more than one road in the world, just draw a circle. Today, this paper crane flies to Tailao Peak, and a big dispute begins to emerge, and there is a vague appearance of a great disaster in the world."

Mingyue said inexplicably: "The great disaster in the world? Are there so many worldly practitioners in Tailao Peak who have that great ability?"

Qingfeng: "Of course they didn't, but the beginning of this matter was just the beginning."

Mingyue looked at the direction of Tailao Peak and frowned: "Brother Qingfeng, then why did you let the paper crane go?"

Qingfeng: "This is something I can't see thoroughly. If there is really a great disaster in the world, is it useful to just leave the paper crane? Besides, does the grievances and disputes between these people have anything to do with us?"

Mingyue thought about it and shook her head, "It doesn't matter, then we won't care about other people's business, just wait here."

Qingfeng and Mingyue asked in the mountains. At this time, Zhongliquan had reached the distant sky above the West Sea. His thoughts suddenly moved. He sensed that the paper crane he released seemed to have been intercepted by someone. He stopped in surprise. However, after a moment, he sensed that the paper crane broke free from its constraints and flew into Tailao Peak. He stopped in the air and frowned, and shook his body and still flew towards the Yaochi, the gateway to Kunlun Fairyland.

Mei Zhenyi, who was far away in Wuzhou, didn't know that such an episode happened after Zhongliquan left. He got three new treasures: Kunwu sword, wrist guard, and worship whip. He could not tell at all when he was wearing it, but he felt like he was armed to his teeth. Zhongliquan was right. In the Wuzhou area, I'm afraid no one can bully him. He would be grateful if he didn't bully others.

After the master left, except for his daily practice, his life was not too lonely. He made two new friends - the He brother and sister. Last time he visited Mei Zhenyi and promised to spread the skills of the doctor's five animals playing kung fu. He Huogen was a young man with a heart and nature. He had no patience. He took advantage of the loophole of the lantern festival in the countryside and ran to Qiyunguan to find the Taoist priest "Lu Yan".

When he was a sloppy person, Qi Yunguan had already received the instructions from the young master, and no one pointed it out to He Huogen. Mei Zhenyi changed into Taoist clothes and met him. After a while, he became familiar with him. Since this place was a bit far from Hejia Village, Mei Zhenyi simply went down the mountain to find their brother and sister. She spent several months teaching them the doctor Wuqin opera. No matter how effective the practice is, it always has the effect of strengthening the body.

From beginning to end, the He brothers and sisters did not know Mei Zhenyi's true identity. They always thought that his surname was Lu and Yan, and they were a Taoist boy in Qi Yun Temple who had not received the rituals yet. After getting along well, the brothers and sisters often took some delicious and fun things from home for him, and became very close playmates.

In the eyes of the He family, this Taoist priest is also a practitioner. Because it takes a long time to ride a donkey from Hejia Village to Qiyun Temple, and the Taoist priest walked from Qiyun Temple in Tianliang, and it took only half an hour to arrive at Hejia Village. At this time, Mei Zhenyi had already started practicing the magical practice method. Although his skills were not profound enough, he was also very clever in the eyes of ordinary people. He Huogen was fourteen years old, Mei Zhenyi was three years old, and He Yougu was only seven years old.

When the flowers bloom in spring, the Green Snow Temple was finally completed. Generally, the ancestral halls must have special rituals in Chengdu. The ancestral halls worship the ancestors and ancestors are invited to take the position, and the ancestral halls in the Respecting Gods are to invite the gods to sit down. This ceremony was not allowed to be attended by outsiders, only Mei Zhenyi, Zhang Guo and Mei Yi. After burning incense, Mei Zhenyi used the art of calling ghosts and gods to attract green snow to see him.

I saw the shadows of trees swaying outside the temple, and the spring behind the temple was flowing soundly. A flower in front of me, a woman in green appeared in front of me, bowed lightly and said, "Thank you, Mr. Mei, for building a temple for me and offering it with incense. In fact, it doesn't have to be like this."

This is the first time Mei Zhenyi has seen Lu Xue herself with her own eyes. When she stood in front of her, she felt that she was afraid to look directly at her. She was both elegant and charming. The statue on the altar was life-sized. The sculptures were lifelike. The one invited was the son of an old craftsman in the Cuiting Temple, and Zhang Guo personally drew the pattern. The craftsmanship was first-class. However, no matter how exquisite the statue was, it could not convey the agility of Lu Xue herself when she appeared.

"I know that Luxue Taoist Taoist has been rooted in the mountains. The nourishment and nourishment of all things in the world is practice. There is no need to use this temple. But your grace to spread the word has saved my Mei family. This is what my Mei family should do." Mei Zhenyi replied politely.

Luxue glanced at the statue on the altar and smiled faintly: "The Mei family wants to thank me for building this temple, but I will not refuse, so I will stand here... If nothing else, Luxue will say goodbye!" After saying that, he waved his sleeves and floated away and sank into the mountains.

She came quickly and went to the ground, neither pretentious nor nonsense. Looking at the statue of the god, there was no change. Luxue did not attach himself to it with his spiritual sense and received incense on earth. The temple was erected, and Luxue also appeared to meet, but the invitation to the gods was not successful. Luxue was not worshipped by the incense here. In layman's terms, the statue of the gods was not consecrated.

Zhang Guo said: "Young Master, Lu Xue has not received any incense, otherwise the old slave will persuade her?"

Mei Zhenyi shook her head: "She doesn't want to rely on this temple, and she has her own ideas. But setting up the temple is the thanks of the Mei family. Just do what we should do. Since she doesn't want to, she doesn't have to persuade her anymore... She will always offer incense. There is no difference between what she is here or not."

Since Mei Zhenyi learned the magical power of "calling ghosts and gods", she could also sense whether the statue was "consecrated", so she said this. But then again, if Zhang Guo and Mei Zhenyi had no magical power, then it is indeed no different for them whether Luxue was worshipped by incense. The statue of Luxue was not consecrated, but there were two consecrated statues, or Buddha statues, in Jingting Mountain, all in Cuiting Temple.

One is of course a statue of Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva, while the other is a statue of a man with a tiger-backed and bear-beared waist. In the mountain gate hall of Cuiting Temple, facing the direction of the Main Hall, according to the tradition of the Buddhist temples in the descendants, it should be Weituo Bodhisattva, but what Mei Zhenyi saw was not. The statue here is a man with his eyes like a copper bell, his mouth and his face were dark, and he was carrying a majestic black tassel gun. I don’t know which Bodhisattva it was? Anyway, Mei Zhenyi didn’t recognize him!

Of course, there are more than two statues in a temple. However, with Mei Zhenyi's supernatural power, you can feel that in addition to the statue of Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva, there is also the statue of this black man in Cuiting Temple. The so-called consecration refers to the incarnation of the Bodhisattva, leaving behind a mark of spiritual consciousness, which can be sensed with divine thoughts. If you have great supernatural powers and even communicate directly with the Bodhisattva, it is another more mysterious state, far beyond the "like the gods" state of the Lingshan mental method that Mei Zhenyi learned.

Mei Zhenyi was also very puzzled by this and specifically asked about the origin of Master Hsing Yun, the black man. Master Hsing Yun could not tell why. According to Zhang Guo's recollection, when the Cuiting Temple was built, all the statues were made by a most famous old craftsman in Wuzhou. This old craftsman once had a dream. In his dream, he saw Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva and such a black man. These two statues were sculptured according to the sculptures seen in his dream.

Mei Zhenyi always wanted to meet the legendary Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva and asked her why she traveled through time? After learning to "call ghosts and gods", she often ran to Cuiting Temple and cast magic on the statue of Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva, trying to summon the Bodhisattva to ask a few words. Is it effective? There is no such thing as there is, but it is useless. The divine thoughts he emits are like throwing a small stone into the sea. It cannot stir up any waves.

It seems that his cultivation is still far from that. He can't invite Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva to the ground by casting a magic spell. If that happens, wouldn't the Bodhisattva run around all over the world? Mei Zhenyi couldn't invite the Bodhisattva, and was not discouraged. He still often came, meditating in front of the Bodhisattva statue in the name of Xiang. In fact, he practiced the Lingshan Mind Method, and then used the "Summoning Ghosts and Gods" magic again.

Because Mei Zhenyi found that this kind of practice is very effective, the range of spiritual consciousness extends, and the magic power of the soul increases rapidly when it appears. He casts a call to ghosts and gods against the Bodhisattva statue. Training spiritual consciousness is equivalent to using the cabbage to practice swords, which has another use. Fortunately, he is young, Master Xingyun is his academic teacher, and Jingting Mountain is his territory. Otherwise, a man would often go to a nunnery to meditate, which is indeed inconvenient.

He often goes to Jingting Mountain alone, and Zhang Guomeiyi and others are relieved. Jingting Mountain is not as good as an ordinary place. It can be said that it is one of the safest places in Wuzhou, so the young master naturally doesn't have to worry too much about it.

One day after Zhongli Quan left more than three months ago, Mei Zhenyi practiced the Lingshan Mind Method in the Guanyin Hall of Cuiting Temple. After finishing the exercise, he summoned ghosts and gods at the Buddha statue. At this time, he felt that his spiritual consciousness suddenly moved, and he sensed that someone was watching him nearby, but he couldn't find out where the person was. His mind changed. Could it be that the Bodhisattva was about to appear?

He stood up and looked around. The nuns naturally retreated into the meditation room and were not here. He first cast a spell at the statue of Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva without any reaction. He walked out of the Guanyin Hall and came to the mountain gate hall, and cast a spell at the statue of the black man, but he still had no reaction. It seemed that it was not the Bodhisattva who was peeping at him, but another expert.

Confused, he walked out of Cuiting Temple, followed the mountain road and came to a bamboo forest. Seeing that there was no one around, Mei Zhenyi clasped her fists and said, "Who is passing by, please show up."

I heard a smile in my mind, and it was another divine thought that was transmitted to others. It was a strange voice: "Boy, are you Mei Zhenyi, the son of Mei Xiaolang? You really have a kindness. You are wearing Taoist robe and wandering around in the nunnery every day."

Mei Zhenyi coughed and replied, "I am Mei Zhenyi, a disciple of Sun Simiao. It is not uncommon to wear Taoist robes. It is not impossible to ask the host teacher to do some writings in Cuiting Temple, and worship Guanzi Bodhisattva at the same time. It is nothing to do! Since you are talking, why don't you show up?"

As soon as he finished speaking, a sudden change occurred, and a strong wind rosy rose from the ground, as if a strange hand rose from mid-air to capture him out of thin air. At the same time, Master Hsing Yun came from Cuiting'an with a scream of exclamation, and a string of rosary beads shot out quickly, scattering golden light into the air. Master Hsing Yun was also alarmed and found that someone was not good for Mei Zhenyi, so he immediately took action to protect him.

A sleeve rolled out in the air, and a gray fog wiped out the light on the rosary, swept the string of rosary, and let out a series of strange smiles in the air. When Master Hsing Yun's figure flew to the edge of the bamboo forest, only a string of broken rosary was scattered on the ground, and there were no figures in the sky.

Master Xingyun's face was pale. Mr. Mei was abducted in Jingting Mountain. The man's cultivation was unfathomable and he didn't even show his face. What should I do? - Hurry up and report to Qi Yunguan.

Now Qi Yunguan and Jingwu Villa were in trouble! In broad daylight, the young master was captured, and it was not clear who had been kidnapped to any place. Almost all servants were sent out to search, and even the Wuzhou government was alarmed and three yamen runners were sent.
Chapter completed!
