Chapter 048, this path can be passed down and cannot be accepted, there will be a real person first and then a real person will be known.
Zhongli Quan took a sip of wine, shook his head, and his expression was a little unfathomable: "She bribed you with a bottle of Shengyuan Pill? It seems that you have a good impression of her!... Practice and seek immortality and transcendence, but this 'life' is not that 'life', but this body is in the world. When you reach her state of cultivation, you are definitely not a person who is greedy for life and fear of death. It's funny to say that immortality begins with the transformation of life, but if you have a trace of greed for life and fear in your heart, you cannot cultivate the transformation of magical power."
He said this and took another sip of wine, and then said, "Boy, are you a person who is afraid of death? You said you are, you once dared to smoke me, and you are not. If I am not present today, even if you don't want to, you will probably swallow your anger and give them the things, no matter whether it makes sense?"
"Of course I don't want to be meaninglessly killed or injured. If there is something really necessary to make a choice, I won't retreat. But today, I still have to worry about the entire Qi Yunguan and all the servants of my Mei family. I don't want to do anything and can't act irritably. As for whipping at you that day, it was because I knew you had a fairy mind and cultivation, and I couldn't hit you, and you couldn't care about me, the child." Mei Zhenyi explained, and gave Zhongli Quan a high hat without hesitation.
Zhongli Quan smiled: "You are a person who has not yet been born. You have concerns in the world and can also take on your own responsibilities for this concern. This is great! With me support today, you have no intention of bullying others with my power. It is also great! Your ability is limited now, what will happen when you achieve great success in the future?"
Mei Zhenyi: "I will talk about what happened in the future."
Zhongli Quan smiled and nodded repeatedly: "Okay, okay, the person I want to look for is someone like you, and I finally didn't miss it!... Zhang Guo, don't kneel down, go to the kitchen and ask the servants to make two more dishes. I want to drink a few more glasses and have a good chat with your young master... Mei Zhenyi. I am in a good mood today. If you have anything to say to me, just speak." Seeing his appearance, I don't know if it's because he has drunk too much or the food is about his appetite, so I'm sitting here with interest.
Zhang Guo got up and went out. After a while, a few more special dishes were prepared in the kitchen. Only Zhong Li Quan and Mei Zhenyi were left in the room. Since he asked him to speak as much as possible, Mei Zhenyi thought for a while and asked, "I wonder if the fairy Zhiyan could not get Fei Yunxiu back, how could he return to the master's sect to report?"
Zhongli Quan replied without raising his head: "The Queen Mother of the West is very rules. The rules of the Taoist sect she left were very strict. Knowing that Yan could not return to the Kunlun Fairyland and the wonderful method of the Sect, I am afraid that he could only stay outside for a wandering cultivator. Why, are you heartbroken? This person has been practicing in the mountains for a long time, but lacks real experience. This is also her opportunity and fortune. You may be able to see her in a few days."
"Will she come back again, will she look for me? Not so."
Zhiyan has said that he will no longer ask for Feiyunxiu. Naturally, he will keep his word. As long as he has the realm of great success, he will be true inside and outside. Whether it is good or evil, Buddha or demon, he will be a person who will not regret it. This has nothing to do with the "good or bad" that is usually referred to as a person. If you like to betray your faith, you will not be able to have such cultivation.
Cultivation, "cultivation" and "work" are one. Mei Zhenyi's master Sun Simiao has already reached the realm of becoming a true person. He knows the behavior of such people very well. In this sense, dealing with "real persons" is much simpler than dealing with mortals.
Zhong Liquan shook his head and said, "She is not here to find you, but Zhang Guo. Have you forgotten? She hasn't done anything about it yet. She just passed on the precepts of Zhang Guo's wonderful method. She probably will come in a few days. Zhiyan only knows how to practice but not understand the rest. He is moaning and has selfish thoughts. He has made you and me set a precedent in the world of practice throughout the past. If things spread, it may not become a practice in the future." He explained in detail to Mei Zhenyi-
Since ancient times, the inheritance of Taoism in various sects not only has the secret method, but also the corresponding precepts. "Keeping precepts" itself and "cultivation" are one, and each sect has its own considerations. If you only know the secret method but not the precepts, practicing supernatural powers may not only be harmful to others but also harm yourself.
To give a similar example, prescribe a prescription to cure diseases. But at the same time, you must also list the taboos of taking medicine, otherwise it may not be cured. You may also accidentally turn good medicine into poison. Therefore, Zhiyan gave Zhang Guo two choices, either to worship the magical Dharma or disperse his cultivation, nor is it completely unreasonable, at least in her simple and direct thoughts.
After Zhongli Quan and Mei Zhenyi were mixed up, Mingqin persuaded her again with selfish intentions, it turned out that Zhang Guo only took the precepts and did not have to start to become a disciple. In Mei Zhenyi's opinion, this is the most reasonable thing to do. Zhang Guo just accidentally obtained Feiyun's secret book. You can't force him to enter, nor can you take the initiative to disperse his cultivation.
In the practice of the master often accepts disciples, first get started and then take precepts. This situation like Zhang Guo is an exception and is very rare. If Feiyun's secret book and Feiyunxiu were not wandering outside, even if he secretly learned the wonderful methods and Taoisms, no one would have looked for him. Zhang Guo's affairs seemed to be very simple to solve, but they set two precedents in the world of cultivation since ancient times.
First of all, you only take the precepts and do not officially worship the master. In response to the special case of Zhang Guo, you have obtained the Dharma of the world but it was not taught by the master. What should you do? You should follow the precepts of the magic of the local arts of the school. You cannot force him to worship him under the school, nor can you let him do it on your own.
The second is to generalize it. From another perspective, if the Taoist traditions of some sects in the future do not exist in the human world, but the mental methods and formulas of their practice will still be passed down in the world for various reasons. At this time, there is no such thing as a teacher taking precepts. What should practitioners who learn these mental methods and formulas do? Wouldn't anyone care about it?
This situation did not happen during the Tang Dynasty, but in the 21st century before Mei Zhenyi traveled, Taoist scriptures and various magical techniques that were not true or false were sold at bookstations. So if Zhang Guo’s affairs are generalized today, it may form a reference rule. If you have no teacher in your practice and gain supernatural powers, you should also abide by the precepts of passing on the world. If you have a method of passing on the world, you should have the precepts of passing on the world.
Zhongli Quan explained why Zhang Guo’s story was a precedent in the world of cultivation. Other practitioners may not understand it very well, but Mei Zhenyi, who came from later generations, understood it completely. He blinked for a long time and thought it was very reasonable, but there were problems. He frowned and said, “Senior Zhongli, I vaguely felt that there was a major mystery when you speak the earth. But it was not very thorough. The precepts of various sects in the world are different, or practitioners do not know where they are inherited, and how should they keep themselves?"
Zhongli Quan: "It doesn't matter if you can't understand it for a while, but I haven't understood it either. You just need to have this question in your heart. If you want to do it, please start with me and blame yourself before you can reach others... Boy. Zhang Guo's story is over, and it's your turn now. What happened last night? Did you become a demon in your cultivation or take the wrong medicine? He actually spoke to Fairy Zhiyan like that. Are you looking for a beating?"
Mei Zhenyi could only smile bitterly when she heard this, and lowered her head and said, "Since I asked about it, I don't want to tell the truth. Actually, I recognized the wrong person. The reason for that is that it is related to you, Senior." He mistakenly thought that Zhongli Quan was very tempted to change his clothes last night, and joked for a while and caused trouble.
Zhongli Quan laughed loudly, and the cups and plates on the table were trembling. As he smiled, he suddenly stopped and glared: "Boy, how old are you? No matter how smart you are, you can't think in advance that I would use lust to test you. What's going on, explain it clearly to me!"
Now that I was going to get rid of the bad food, how could a thirteen-year-old child think of this in advance? Mei Zhenyi blinked and said, "That's right. I usually read the biography of ancient gods and immortals. I once said this when I was confused at that time, and I misunderstood."
Zhongli Quan: "I think you are not confused. But you are too smart! You are Sun Simiao's disciple. It is impossible for the master to have not taught you. Think about it and know where you are wrong?" The tone of this sentence is different from what I had just said. It is no longer talking and laughing, but it seems quite solemn. As the words seem to have a divine thought directly into the mind, like a deep blow.
Zhongli Quan mentioned Sun Simiao, and Mei Zhenyi's mind flashed with a flash of inspiration. It was like being awakened in a dream. - His mistake was not that he recognized the wrong person, nor that he misunderstood became a temptation of Zhongli Quan, but that he violated the three words Sun Simiao once taught him!
The first sentence is "Don't care whether he is an immortal or an ordinary person. It depends on how he deals with you." Then the women last night were masters of cultivation, mountain spirits, ghosts, or illusions that changed from Zhongli Quan to greet him, and they did not have any other extraordinary behavior. Mei Zhenyi spoke frivolously and thoughtlessly. First of all, she was wrong and violated the master's teachings.
The second sentence is "Keep the way you understand in your heart, don't blame me if you are surprised." Then, when he saw Mingqin and others dressed up charmingly last night, he thought it was a bit out of the way. Before the other party was doing anything, he was fooling first. How could he look like a person who practiced and realized the truth? Even if it was Zhongli Quan's temptation, he was still used to it and lost the desire to stick to himself.
The third sentence is "There is no difference between the master and not being there." If Sun Simiao was on the spot, could Mei Zhenyi be like this? Of course not! This sentence is understood from another perspective. If it were not Zhongli Quan's temptation, but a woman passing by and asked, could Mei Zhenyi be like this, wouldn't it be like this? In this way, Mei Zhenyi did not do any of Sun Simiao's three sentences of teaching.
Sometimes you can fully understand the principles of a sentence, but it may not be possible at any time and anywhere, and you can unintentionally abide by them. The master gives you the principles, which does not mean that you have already "achieved the Tao". This is often the problem of ordinary people. What is the practice of practitioners? This is this. There is a term called "knowing the constant". If you can't do it, it means that the state of practice has not reached!
This point can also confirm what Zhuangzi said, "The way is sentient beings and faith, and nothing is invisible; it can be passed on but not accepted, and it can be obtained but not visible."
It has been two months since Sun Simiao left. Mei Zhenyi was unable to break through the realm of "like a god" after practicing Lingshan Mind Method. This is the reason.
Why Mei Zhenyi was wrong is because she was too smart or too smart. He relied on the experience he heard in the legends before traveling through time, and broke Zhongli Quan three times in a row to test his magic. By the fourth time, he still did this, but he was still in a mess. In fact, he did not foresee the ability to predict the future, but he just relied on the memory of the legends before traveling through time, but he invisibly thought he could be foresighted.
After he first met Zhongli Quan, Sun Simiao once said: "You are not deceived by his supernatural powers. It is not because your cultivation level is now able to break the delusion and not be confused, but you have noticed it, so you didn't go in at all!" At that time, he was very thorough, but Mei Zhenyi did not wake up immediately. At this time, he was knocked down by Zhongli Quan and woke up like a dream.
A thought flashed through my mind and thought of so much. The spiritual platform was clear and clear. Mei Zhenyi stepped forward to bow to the teacher: "Thank you for waking up, otherwise I wouldn't know if I was in my dream. Please accept my prayer."
Zhong Liquan looked at him with relief: "Very good, your practice has improved in this thought. Since you worship me as a teacher, you must have known my purpose, why should you call me a senior instead of a master?" He finally couldn't help but said the words of accepting disciples.
Mei Zhenyi: "The ancients said that one word could become a teacher, and the teachings of the seniors. I should thank you as a teacher. But I still have two doubts in my heart if I formally become a disciple." If I didn't tell lies in front of the real person, Mei Zhenyi was indeed still unsolvable. Thinking about Sun Simiao's words to accept disciples, he bowed without thinking. Today, it was not like this before Zhongli Quan.
Zhongli Quan smiled and said, "Oh, you have lifted the airs up. Tell me, what are the doubts? Do you think I have a low cultivation level and are not qualified to be your master of practice?"
"No, no, I still have something in my mind. The first time I met my senior on the way was outside the Wanjia Hotel. To be honest, the disciples were very displeased with what the senior did at the Wanjia Hotel." He finally told the truth in front of Zhongliquan. He also told the words he said to Sun Simiao later.
Zhongli Quan sighed softly: "Before my disciple is getting started, I'm going to teach you a lesson. It's rare! You have a different understanding of what I did that day. It's not just that I'm doing it in vain. If people in the world learn about the affairs of the Ji family and have some enlightenment, it's not in vain."
Mei Zhenyi was slightly surprised: "Senior, do you know that it's too difficult to make the Ji family? You originally wanted to use this to enlighten the truth of the world, but with the Ji family as a chess piece, their mother and son did not offend you."
Zhongli Quan smiled slightly: "Are they unlucky? No! If you appear, this is the harvest. You have your harvest, and I have mine. People in the world have their harvest, and only those who are stubborn are exceptions. The Ji family is not unlucky either. Do you still want to blame me?"
Mei Zhenyi: "What you say and do is intimately consistent with the mysterious way. Since I understand it, I will naturally not have any resentment. But if other masters with supernatural powers in the world don't know, if you see your senior acting like this, it may not be a blessing in the world."
Zhongli Quan nodded: "What you said makes sense. But I don't care about other people and places. Since ancient times, immortals have been like this in the world. Let's do this. You should be my teacher, learn the golden elixir path, and ask for the way you understand after you have great achievements in the future. Do you have any doubts?"
Mei Zhenyi: "I already have a master of practicing, Master Sun Simiao. If I have another master, I should ask Master Sun for instructions."
Zhongli Quan: "This is the right place. You respect your teachers, and I also like it. Everyone likes to accept disciples like this. But Sun Zhenren is not here, do you want to go to Guanzhong to see him?"
Mei Zhenyi: "No need to travel far, I have my own way to visit my master and ask."
Zhongli Quan looked at him with a look of doubt, and seemed to be disbelieving and said with some expectations: "Oh, do you have this cultivation level? If so, try it. When you ask for instructions from Zhenren Sun, I will come to find you. Today's food is good, thank you!" After Yan finished speaking, he mentioned the wine gourd and floated out, and when Mei Zhenyi turned around, he disappeared.
Zhongli Quan said that Zhiyan would come to Zhang Guo again in a few days. Mei Zhenyi specifically told Zhang Guo that he immediately notified him when he saw Zhiyan. He couldn't blame Zhongli Quan for being troublesome, but he was always a little dissatisfied with Zhiyan's experience and wanted to talk to her. However, Mei Zhenyi was waiting for the first time not Fairy Zhiyan, but the court reward.
Luoyang issued an order that Mei Xiaolang, the Marquis of Southern Lu, was awarded the title of Right Pushe, and was promoted to the title of Duke of Southern Lu. Not only did he regain the position of prime minister, but his power was even better than before. His eldest son Mei Zhenyi was given a favor and was awarded the title of Yunqiwei. He was awarded the title of a seventh-rank official at a young age, which was considered to be an extra kindness of the court.
Of course, it is not only Mei Xiaolang, the Duke of Southern Lu, who was awarded this time. Cheng Wuting was awarded the Duke of Pingyuan County, and Pei Xingjian was awarded the Duke of Wenxi County. After the battle, the three Dukes seemed to be very happy, but people understand that everyone thought it was unusual. Pei Xingjian was the commander, so why was the reward obviously thin? This was somewhat the devil that the Prime Minister Pei Yan made.
The army also headed to Luoyang to face the Holy Sage. The first thing above Qianyuan Hall was the court to discuss military achievements. The most important contribution was the commander Pei Xingjian. However, Pei Yan reported: "General Pei led the left army and horses to fail in the first battle. In the second battle, he defended the Great Wall and did not come out to form an alliance with the enemy with gold and silk. Mei Xiaolang led the right army to surprise attack and cut off the Turkic retreat. The vanguard Cheng Wuting robbed the enemy's baggage to establish a complete victory."
