Chapter 025, Searching for Ume Friends in the World

After giving the order, Mei Zhenyi secretly felt anger in her heart: "This person surnamed Lu is too much. Sun Simiao worked hard to cure me for twelve years and never greedy for anything. He, Master Lu, was relieved. As soon as he opened his mouth, he was not satisfied. He was not satisfied with occupying a Taoist temple and half of Qiyun Peak. Now he wanted to take three mountains in Qingyi Lake as a guise. He really treated me as an idiot child. He wanted to eat me and the Mei family in Wuzhou in one bite, but he didn't know that I was also an old world. If you really use tricks, you might be who would play with me."

He cursed in his heart, but pretended to be nothing on the surface. Mei Zhenyi heard that the three mountains were indeed a treasure land, rich in various rare medicinal materials, and Qingyi Lake, which surrounded the three mountains, was the most abundant aquatic area in Wuzhou, and had a long and fatty fish and crabs. Master Lu had such a big appetite when he opened his mouth, and Mei Zhenyi was certainly unhappy to see through it. Sun Simiao reminded him that no matter what kind of master Lu Chunyang was or what kind of immortal Taoism, for Mei Zhenyi, it depends on how he dealt with people.

As for learning immortal arts, Mei Zhenyi was still a little moved. After all, the person who heard the name was probably the legendary Lu Dongbin, so Mei Yi asked her to find out the details. If Lu Chunyang really had a Taoist immortal, then it would not be too late for Mei Zhenyi to have other ideas, and he was not stupid anyway.

Not long after, Mei Yi returned: "Young Master, I looked carefully. That Taoist priest is indeed a bit of practicing."

Mei Zhenyi waved her hand and asked the others to retreat, and asked whispered: "Just look, how high is he practicing, what about his steward Zhang Guo?"

Mei Yi smiled: "I'm afraid it's not as good as Zhang Guo. If he is not enough, he can easily reveal his bottom. If he is really a master of the immortal family, I can't see the details with my eyes."

Mei Zhenyi asked again: "So if you say so, he will be even worse than you. I mean the fight."

Mei Yi: "He is a practitioner of Taoism. If you talk about the state of cultivation, you may not be weaker than me. But if you really do it, as long as he doesn't prepare any strange magic in advance, I will be sure to subdue him within a few rounds of time... Master, what do you mean by asking? Even if you don't want to agree to his request, just find an excuse to refuse. There is no need to do anything to him, right? After all, a master of cultivation has a transcendent status and he has no evil deeds. It is not a wise move to openly confess his sins."

Mei Zhenyi: "Uncle Yi is too worried. I just want to know what I have. I don't have to do. Let's delay this before the New Year." Before the end of each year, Jingwu Villa will send a hundred taels of silver for the next year's offering to Qi Yunguan. Mei Zhenyi also wants to see with her own eyes what the three mountains that Daoren Lu wants to occupy? It's important to maintain a good health and act when you see the opportunity.

Zhang Guo entertained Lu Xianren and his servants for lunch, and finally sent him away. Shortly after the guests left, Zhang Guo was telling Mei Zhenyi about his detailed conversation today in the courtyard. A servant came to report that there was a woman in front of the door and called to see the butler Zhang Guo.

The boy who reported the news was a seventeen-year-old servant. When he was talking, he looked at Zhang Guo with a strange look. Mei Zhenyi asked, "If you come to report, what are you doing when you wink?

The servant quickly said, "Young Master, don't know. I have never seen such a beautiful woman. I almost thought she was a fairy who came down to earth. The servants in front of the door looked straight. They invited her in but didn't come in, but just stood at the door and called on the butler to go out. Butler Zhang had been in the villa for many years, and he had never heard of any contact with any girl from outside, so everyone was very curious."

Zhang Guo was also puzzled and asked, "Who does that woman say she is?"

The servant: "I said, calling myself Green Snow comes from Jingting Mountain."

Zhang Guo's expression changed when she heard this and waved her hand and said, "I understand, I'll go right away. You guys do your own errands well, and no one should gossip!"

After the doorman left, Mei Zhenyi saw Zhang Guo’s expression strange, and couldn’t help asking: “Butler, what’s wrong with you? Is there anything wrong with the person coming?”

Zhang Guo hurriedly bowed and said, "There are no outsiders here, so I dare not hide it. The green snow is not human, but a tea tree elf that has grown in Jingting Mountain for three hundred years."

Today is really lively. I just finished talking about the gods and fairies yesterday. In the morning, fairy Lu came to visit me again in the afternoon. Mei Zhenyi rubbed her temples and said, "So, this Luxue is your fellow tribe. It's normal for her to find you if she has something to do. Why is your expression wrong?"

Zhang Guo: "Young Master doesn't know that the green snow turned into a spirit fifty years ago because Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva showed his holy presence on Jingting Mountain. By chance, she got this blessing... She is different from me. She has rooted in Jingting Mountain and moistened objects and turned into rain and did not enter the world. I have never heard of her walking out of Jingting Mountain in the past few decades. Today, she suddenly came to Jingwu Villa, and something must have happened."

Mei Zhenyi was also curious: "Then why don't you go quickly. Let's hear what's going on? As long as you are willing, you can help. If it's related to our Mei family, then come back and tell me."

The book secretly states, what is the origin of this green snow? Speaking of which, she has something to do with Cuiting Temple in Jingting Mountain. Fifty-one years ago, Bodhisattva Avalokitesvara visited Jingting Mountain for some reason, and a fairy child was surrounded by him. The fairy child used the willow branches in the Bodhisattva bottle to sprinkle a drop of dew to save an ancient tea tree in the mountain that was about to die. This tea tree has this blessing and has also realized it into a spirit, and the woman's name is Luxury.

When Avalokitesvara was driving clouds in the mountains and was about to leave, he was seen by a group of woodcutters and immediately bowed over to worship. When the Bodhisattva saw the dew, he no longer concealed his hiding. On Jingting Mountain, he showed colorful clouds and a hundred-foot Dharma body. All the people in Wuzhou were shocked and bowed to him. Later, Liu Boshu, the owner of Jingting Mountain, built Cuiting Temple, which was dedicated to Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva, and the incense was constantly on the mountain. Green Snow has been practicing in the mountains but has not entered the world. However, Zhang Guo, who is also the essence of black plum, has always taken care of the industry in Jiushan for the Mei family and knows Green Snow.

Zhang Guo welcomed out of Jingwu Villa. A woman in green was standing outside the door. She looked calm and quietly waiting, as if she was blind to the curious eyes of the villa's gatekeeper. She looked about in her early twenties, with a skin color as snow as jade, without any flaws or a trace of human fireworks. She was holding a high bun, and a bright yellow hairpin was decorated with a jade pendant. When she looked closely, she found that the exquisite long hairpin was a thin branch with leaves. She had a graceful figure and beautiful face. She stood there looking close from a distance and looking far away. The grass and trees outside the villa seemed to add vitality to the winter, like the charm of the painting.

When Zhang Guo saw her, he hurriedly went forward: "Fellow Daoist Luxue, you can just send me a message. Why did you disturb me from the mountain yourself? Since you are here, why don't you go in?"

Luxue glanced at the gate of the villa: "I am afraid that the news will cause trouble, so I came here in person. Jingwu Villa has the aura of immortal spirit and the aura of killing. My cultivation is still shallow and I dare not enter without any reason."

Zhang Guo: "There are indeed masters in the village, but it's okay for you. Please come in and talk."

Luxue: "So that's it. No wonder all the ghost soldiers in the city cannot enter, so I feel relieved. There is no need to enter the door, just talk here, please shut up others."

Luxue was unwilling to go in, and Zhang Guo did not force her to retreat into the door. Jingwu Villa closed the door and saw that there was no one around Zhang Guo casting spells to cover the neighboring area without causing the conversation to leak out. Then he asked: "You just said that the ghost soldiers in the city were about to enter Jingwu Villa, why didn't I notice it? What happened?"

Luxue: "I look here and I cannot retreat naturally. Besides, the monsters and ghosts are sent to the left-minded masters, so they are naturally not easy to be noticed by you."

Zhang Guo was surprised: "What did you say? There are masters who can use ghosts and gods to spy on Jingwu Villa. Who is so bold?"

"I only know that this person is doing things on Feijin Peak, driving ghosts and gods. What he plans to do is not just Jingwu Villa. What he does will harm the creatures in Wucheng. Jingting Mountain where I live is the Mei family. The creatures all over the mountain are resting here. When they hear this disaster, they have to come to inform them." Lu Xue's expression has always been calm and without fireworks, but she spoke up and said something earth-shaking.

What big thing happened that could alarm the uninhabitable Green Snow? It needs to be explained in detail-

The person Lu Xue said was Ming Chongyan, a native of Yanshi, Luozhou. He had Taoism and could summon ghosts and gods. He was famous for his supernatural powers. Emperor Gaozong of Tang summoned officials and was promoted to the Zhengjianfu to worship him. This person was good at camp and the power of the court has fallen in the hands of the harem in recent years. He begged Empress Wu in everything and was his confidant. The emperor and the empress moved to the Eastern Capital, and the prince Li Xian stayed in Chang'an. There was nothing wrong, but Empress Wu wrote "The Filial Son" and "Shaoyang Zhengfan" to the crown prince, which was quite reprimanded. How could the empress write the book himself? It was just instructing a group of confidants to compile it. Ming Chongyan also participated and knew that the empress had other ideas in her heart.

Crown Prince Li Xian is generous, talented and intelligent. He never forgets his studies when he was young, and he is very independent. Since his brother Li Hong died in an unknown way, he is the most suitable candidate among the princes to inherit the great cause of Li Tang. However, Empress Wu does not like him, or does not like a very independent prince to inherit the throne in the future. Crown Prince Li Xian is also quite dissatisfied with the empress's autocracy. The mother and son have a rift, and something will happen sooner or later.

So Ming Chongyan advised Empress Wu: "I am very good at seeing the prince's fortunes and cannot bear to inherit the national system. The King of England, King Zhe, is similar to his father's appearance. Only when one of these two sons can he chooses one of them to succeed the throne is fine." He recommended Empress Wu's other two sons Li Zhe (also known as Li Xian) and Li Dan. These two are different from their brothers, and have a very similar temper to their father Li Zhi. They are very afraid of their inner silence and have no opinion. Ming Chongyan also realized that the prince the queen wanted was not a future generation of wise kings, but just an obedient puppet.

Empress Wu had the idea of ​​Yi Chu, but the prince was always famous and had no faults in his actions. There were also a group of old ministers in the court who supported him, and there was no excuse to depose him, and it was unreasonable to be in front of the emperor. Ming Chongyan volunteered to go to Chang'an to investigate the prince's actions. In fact, it was just to find fault and find a mistake so that Empress Wu had an excuse to depose the prince. Empress Wu nodded and ordered him to go west to conduct a secret investigation, and acted secretly when he saw the opportunity. Since ancient times, it has been very dangerous to participate in the decree and establishment, but the benefits were also great. Once it was successfully involved, there would be more attention to the oil and water.

Ming Chongyan came to Chang'an and had not found any evidence of the prince's morality. On this day, he looked at the clouds in the East Palace on the high hills in the suburbs of the city. The more he looked, the more he felt that the emperor's aura had moved to Luoyang. It seemed that he had made a wise choice to follow the Empress of Wu to depose the prince. At this time, his divine thoughts suddenly moved and seemed to be disturbed. He looked up and used his magical powers to look at him. The clouds in the south seemed to have a sacred person born, and the estimated location was in Wuzhou.

The previous article mentioned that at the same time, a boy named Qingfeng in Zhongnan Mountain also said to Mingyue, a girl beside her: "I saw the sudden change of clouds in the south, and the spiritual hub of the world gathered in this place. I don't know where the sacred world appeared, but there was a vague sense of killing, like the Emperor Star and the Killing Star, and they were both right but not wrong, so mysterious." (See the end of Chapter 18)

Ming Chongyan's cultivation is far less than that of the fairy boy Qingfeng. Only seeing that there are extraordinary people in Wuzhou are born. This may be the arrival of the Emperor Star, the death of the immortal, the birth of the saint child, etc., and he was immediately selfish and left Chang'an and went south to sneak into Wuzhou secretly. Ming Chongyan came to Wuzhou to conduct secret investigations but could not find the key points. The reason mentioned above was that he was looking for a newborn baby, and the change in the clouds in Wuzhou was because Mei Zhenyi woke up, and Mei Zhenyi was already twelve years old at this time.

However, Ming Chongyan heard that Mei Xiaolang, the Marquis of Southern Lu, was from Wucheng. His eldest son Mei Zhenyi was idiot in the Jingwu Villa in Wuzhou since childhood. He had just woken up and had another sinister plan in his heart, and thought of the idea of ​​overthrowing the prince.

If you want to get rid of the prince without leaving any trouble, the best way is to frame the prince for rebellion, but there are also experts in Chang'an City. Ming Chongyan cannot do anything by his side, so he can only think of other ways. The emperor moved the Dongdu to the east to keep the prince in Chang'an, and the appointed Chang'an was Mei Xiaolang. If Mei Xiaolang was framed for successfully rebelling, he would definitely be able to connect with the prince. Today, the emperor is gentle and generous, but he hates rebellion the most. If the prince is involved in the case of usurpation, he will not care about the father-son relationship.

How could Mei Xiaolang rebel? Ming Chongyan had his own evil means. He found out that Mei Xiaolang's brother-in-law Liu Zhi was the garrison governor of Ningguo County and was also in charge of the acquisition of military weapons. So he acted on Feijinfeng, recruited mountain spirits and monsters, and used them to steal a batch of heavy armored crossbows from Ningguo County Armory by the method of transporting five ghosts, and then used ghosts and gods to try to secretly hide these prohibited materials in Jingwu Mountain Villa.

Mei Zhenyi was just an idiot child who had just woken up. What was he doing for privately hiding weapons? It must be that his father Mei Xiaolang had a strange ambition. As long as he hid things in, Ming Chongyan would openly appear again, placing the imperial edict of Wuhou, leading the Wuzhou yamen runners to search Jingwu Villa, and then the evidence of the crime of rebellion was made. Then he followed the clues and found out that the illegal weapons were stolen by Liu Zhi, and others would have to believe it.

Ming Chongyan thought it was beautiful, but Jingwu Villa had a real person Sun Simiao and Mei Yi, a master with a strong murderous aura, who retreated. The mountain spirits and ghosts he used were low in magic power and dared not enter, so the frame-up plan had not been successful yet. Ming Chongyan got up on the ninth day of the 10th month and came to Wuzhou from Chang'an. He did not know that Sun Simiao was here, nor did he know that Mei Xiaolang sent Mei Yi, the most capable general.

Ming Chongyan did more than one bad thing. Seeing that he was unable to succeed in framed Jingwu Villa, he had not forgotten why he came, and other bad waters emerged. He also used ghosts and gods to steal all the babies born on the eighth, ninth and tenth day of the 10th day of the 10th day of the 10th day of the 10th day of the 10th day of the 10th day of the 10th day of the 10th day of the 10th day of the 10th day of the 10th day of the 10th day of the 10th day of the 10th day of the 10th day of the 10th day of the 10th day of the 10th day of the 10th day of the 10th day of the 10th day of the 10th day of the 10th day of the 10th day of the 10th day of the 10th day of the 10th day of the 10th day of the 10th day of the 10th day of the 10th day of the 10th day of the 10th day of the 10th day of the 10th day of the 10th day of the 10th day of the 10th day of the 10th day of the 10th day of the 10th day of the 10th day of the 10th day of the 10th day of the 10th day of the 10th day of the 10th day of the 10th day of the 10th day of the 10th day of the 10th day of the 10th day of the 10th day of the 10th day of the 10th day of the 10th day of the 10th day of the 10th day of the 10th day of the 10th day of the 10th day of the 10th day of the 10th day of the 1

There is a tea tree essence green snow in Jingting Mountain. It has been rooted for three hundred years and has been practicing spiritually for more than fifty years. In terms of cultivation, she is certainly not as good as Ming Chongyan, a master of the left-mind, but Green Snow was on the verge of withering 51 years ago. It was saved by the pure dew sprinkled from the willow branches of Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva, and its spiritual roots are pure and untainted. Ming Chongyan practiced to gather ghosts and gods on Feijin Peak of the adjacent Jingting Mountain, and the unique green snow in the surrounding area is not summoned. Naturally, she would not provoke Ming Chongyan, and would constrain her spirit and hide her in the mountains without being discovered by him. However, Green Snow knew about the things that Ming Chongyan used to do by the ghosts and elves.
