Chapter 064, The Root of Wisdom Originates from the Bodhi Tree, Reflecting the Mirror Platform
Chapter 064, the Bodhi tree of wisdom roots, reflecting the mirror platform
Hearing the four words "grace and righteousness" and "Zuo Youxian was not angry, but nodded slightly: "I really didn't expect that you would concentrate on practicing swords and have achieved such achievements now, and you can almost fight me."
Mei Yi had a cold face and said with a sword: "I have not come for the sake of fighting, please let General Left release Mr. Mei, I will not keep you."
Zuo Youxian said lightly: "Your swordsmanship is OK, but you are not my opponent."
Mei Yi replied without changing his expression: "I know I am not a match for General Zuo, but I just need to entangle you. I won't be able to hurt you if I don't believe it. Haozhou Prefecture has mobilized local garrison troops and invited local experts to come and attack from both sides. General Zuo is confident that he can escape with the injury? Let's leave Mr. Mei and leave quickly."
Zuo Youxian smiled: "Your swordsmanship is far better than that of those days. Isn't my cultivation level not progressing? Now I have superb magical powers, how can I be threatened by you?...I'm just a little strange, why did you come so well and calculate so accurately, and can mobilize the soldiers and horses in Haozhou to attack each other?"
Mei Yi: "If you don't know, unless you don't do it, I have a way to know your whereabouts. With your own strength, will you fight against the military? There is no problem with escaping. It may be a great price to break the formation and retreat to the enemy."
Zuo Youxian: "Don't bluff, I can observe the movements around me. Haozhou's soldiers are at least a hundred miles away. You are the only one who blocks me. You are too anxious!... Even if the soldiers come, are you not afraid of throwing rats and jealous weapons in the melee, and hurting Mr. Mei's life? Did you kill or save someone?"
Mei Yi: "Of course I came to save people. As long as you let Young Master Mei go away by yourself, today's affairs will be forgotten. Otherwise, as you are a traitor for many years, you have already exposed your Xingzang. Do you still want to be safe and carefree? If you have great supernatural powers, will there be no master in the world?"
Mei Yi has been ready to go but has not taken action, not because he is afraid of death. On the one hand, he is delaying time, and on the other hand, he is indeed a little afraid of being slandered by the melee. Mei Zhenyi can't help but feel a little anxious. On the one hand, he regrets why the troops in Haozhou come so slowly, and on the other hand, he feels that Mei Yi is coming too anxious, and he is actually blocking the road alone.
How did Mei Yi come to the place? Of course, he got news from Cheng Xuanhu. Cheng Xuanhu, Sima of Haozhou, was very surprised when he ate the two dishes at Wanghulou, Pengze County two days ago. It was a dish from the Mei family in Wuzhou and had never seen it anywhere else. Because of these two dishes, he also specifically reminded Mei Zhenyi not to be too extravagant for daily use. How could he taste it at Wanghulou today?
During the meal, Cheng Xuanhu asked County Magistrate Wang whether these two dishes were eaten frequently in the local area? County Magistrate Wang also said that it was the first time he had eaten it. It was thought that the restaurant specially prepared it to entertain Lord Sima. Cheng Xuanhu immediately called the shopkeeper and the chef to ask, and then he learned that it was the dish ordered by two guests at noon. He carefully asked about the two guests' descriptions and appearances. The more he heard it, the more shocked he became. One of them was that plum Zhenyi was missing for many days!
The news that the eldest son of Duke Nanlu was abducted in Wuzhou has long been spread to nearby prefectures and counties. Wuzhou Prefecture even issued a special document to help find the nearby areas. Others may not pay attention, so how could Cheng Xuanhu not care? After receiving this news, he did not eat dinner, and immediately ordered Pengze County to send people to the city outside to find the whereabouts of the two guests, and at the same time sent people to Wuzhou and Luoyang Nanlu Prefecture to report to the government.
The person who reported the news had just left. Mei Yi arrived the next day, and he came to find Cheng Xuanhu. During this period, Mei Yi was chasing around for no traces and happened to pass by here. He heard that Cheng Xuanhu had taken the post of Sima of Haozhou to Pengze. He also came to Cheng Xuanhu to help find clues in the Haozhou area. As soon as he met Cheng Xuanhu, he heard that the matter was immediately investigated in the Pengze area. At this time, Zuo Youxian had already led Mei Zhenyi away.
It’s easy to ask if you know the clues. These two people are actually very conspicuous. A man in a purple robe was carrying a teenage child. The last time someone saw them on the shore of Pengze Lake. According to the traces left along the way, he should have gone north towards the Huaihe River. He didn’t walk fast. Mei Yi knew that the person who abducted the young master’s cultivation was unfathomable, so he asked Chen Xuanhu to mobilize troops to chase him. However, he encountered a small problem.
Public security cases like missing populations are responsible for government yamen runners, and there is no need to and cannot mobilize local garrison troops. It is a big deal to transfer troops privately. If they are not done well, they will be suspected of treason. Cheng Xuanhu is not easy to deal with. He thought of a move and told Mei Yi privately that the person who asked Mei Yi to claim that Mei Zhenyi was probably a rebel in the court. Military troops could be mobilized in the name of capturing the traitor. However, procedures were required.
It can be regarded as giving face to the Southern Lu Gong. Haozhou Prefecture really mobilized two armies. He gathered many masters to pursue the north, but the office documents were delayed for another day. There were two roads from Haozhou to the Huaihe River, one was the official road, and the other was the wild road where Mei Zhenyi met six thieves. The army and horses were fired together, with hundreds of people, each carrying a strong bow and a hard man.
Mei Yi was anxious. Before the troops set off, he set off Chengshunguan Road to the Huaihe Ferry. When he asked the ferry, no one saw the two crossing the river at all. So he left a message at the ferry and asked the horses behind him to cross the west and meet with the other route. He himself went along the river west to another ferry at the end of the ferry road. He did not see the two crossing the river after inquiring. So he returned to the Ye Road and happened to block the two of them in the canyon.
Mei Yi's footsteps were very fast. When he met Mei Zhenyi, both military and horses were still a hundred miles away. He did not expect that the person who kidnapped Mei Zhenyi would be Zuo Youxian, but at this time it was not far from the Huaihe River, so he must not let these two people go away. Even if he knew that they were not his opponent, he had to step forward and stop him.
Mei Yi and Zuo Youxian had their own questions and answers, and the atmosphere was very tense. When Mei Zhenyi saw Mei Yi know Zuo Youxian, she finally couldn't help but say again: "Uncle Yi, this senior Zuo took me to travel around the mountains and rivers, and there was no malice... You leave quickly and inform my family members so that they can rest assured... Senior Zuo, don't make things difficult for my family, I'll follow you obediently."
Why did Mei Zhenyi say this? Because judging from the current situation, Mei Yi could not stop Zuo Youxian. Even if he insisted on going forward to stop, it would probably cost him a life in vain. The matter was different from the best situation he had imagined. If two armies suddenly arrived, he might still escape while the chaos was in the chaos. In this situation, Mei Yi was desperately delaying time alone, which was not what he wanted to see.
Take a step back and say that it is clear how capable Zuo Youxian is. If it is really a melee, it is difficult for ordinary soldiers to keep him, and it is himself the most likely to be affected. Alas! Why isn’t a group of cultivators coming? He hopes that Mei Yi will leave and tell Luoyang who was kidnapped by himself. It is easy to deal with the clues. If a real cultivator comes, it is best to invite the master Donghua Immortal to come, so that he can be sure of it.
Mei Yi replied: "Young Master, don't worry. As long as this Zuo dares to touch you, no matter where the world is, he will be unable to escape."
Mei Zhenyi had only a stern face: "Mei Yi, no matter what you say, you are an underground member of the Mei family, I will order you to leave quickly as the young master to report your safety to my family, and you will not leave yet!"
Zuo Youxian looked at Mei Zhenyi, then looked at Mei Yi. Suddenly, she smiled: "Mei Yi, you are so old in vain. You are not as smart as your young master. He is for your own good and for your own good. If you really want to fight, you will not only not be able to save people. I am afraid you will suffer casualties."
Mei Zhenyi turned around and said to Zuo Youxian: "Zuozun Zuo, I promise to follow you. Can you let Mei Yi go?"
Surprisingly, Zuo Youxian agreed happily. He said to Mei Yi: "Have you heard your young master's words? I won't make things difficult for you. You quickly report to Mei Xiaolang, saying that Mei Zhenyi fell into my hands and will meet in front of the two northwest armies soon. Remember, if you want to save Mei Zhenyi's life, you must convey this statement secretly and not make the news public. Otherwise, even if Mei Xiaolang is determined to save his son, I am afraid he will not be able to save it."
What does he mean? It means that Mei Zhenyi was captured into the Turkic army. This matter can only be negotiated secretly and cannot be made public. Otherwise, when we arrived in front of the two armies, everyone knew that Mei Xiaolang could only swung his sword to kill him in the other army, and that Mei Xiaolang could only shoot Mei Zhenyi to death with the first arrow to show his attitude of not being threatened by the rebels to be loyal to the court and the country. Zuo Youxian's implied meaning. He was completely sure to take Mei Zhenyi away. No matter Mei Yi did not act.
Mei Yi was stunned, pointed his sword at Zuo Youxian and said, "What do you mean by this?"
Zuo Youxian: "When you see Mei Xiaolang, he will understand that he will go to Luoyang quickly, otherwise it will be too late."
Mei Zhenyi understood it, and when she was anxious, she simply said everything in her heart: "Mei Yi, the Turks in the northwest want to rebel and want to take me as a hostage to avenge their personal revenge. You go and sue my father now, and I still have a chance, but if you send your life here and no one can send a message, then no one can save me. Senior Zuo asked you to leave, why don't you go and report the message quickly!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a strong wind roared from the ground. Zuo You Xianhua had already taken him to the sky and waved the Kunwu sword with one hand. The sword rays were like falling snow in the sky and rolled towards Mei Yi. Mei Yi shouted loudly and did not dodge, and a purple-green sword light shot straight into the sky to chase Zuo You Xian's figure.
Only a thunderous explosion was heard, and the sword light slashed at Kunwu's sword and spread out like fireworks. Zuo Youxian's body shook and still flew towards the north. Mei Yi on the ground did not continue to pursue, but looked at the sky and put away the sword, took a breath of air conditioning. There were several scars on his body, slowly oozing blood. It was not that he did not have the power to continue fighting with the flying sword, but in this battle just now, he already understood that he could not entangle Zuo Youxian before the army arrived.
Mei Yi was also a decisive person. He immediately rushed north to the Huaihe Ferry and left a message, saying that he found that the person who abducted Mei Zhenyi was the traitor Zuo Youxian, who was traitor Zuo Youxian, who could not wait for the army to come and chased the Huaihe River. As for why Zuo Youxian wanted to kidnap Mei Zhenyi and where he would catch him, Mei Yi did not mention a word, and rushed to Luoyang day and night to report to Mei Xiaolang.
Zuo Youxian revealed his true skills this time. He flew across the Huai River with Mei Zhenyi straight north, flying against the trees in the wild, bypassing the crowded places, and avoiding the places where there may be a place where masters of practice live in seclusion. It was not until dark that they fell into a wilderness. At this time, even the Yellow River passed.
After landing, he calmed down his spirit and observed the surroundings for a long time. Then he said to Mei Zhenyi: "Boy, I almost asked you to find an opportunity to run away. I really admire you! Now I want to ask you two things, first, how did Mei Yi find us? Second, how could you guess that I was going to catch you in the Turkic people?"
Mei Zhenyi gasped and said, "Senior Zuo, you flew too fast, I feel a little dizzy. Can you find an inn to take a rest for a while? I'll tell you later."
Zuo Youxian shook his head: "No, you're so clever. For the remaining seven or eight days, we may have to walk in the wilderness. Don't be too slow. No one here will come to save you. Please answer my questions honestly."
Mei Zhenyi: "Senior Zuo. Before meeting Mei Yi, you said you wanted to discuss something with me. If you can't do it well, you can save my life. What's going on?"
Zuo Youxian: "Tell me first, and I will tell you later."
After failing to escape, Mei Zhenyi had no choice but to tell Zuo Youxian: the two dishes he ordered in Pengze County were problematic, which attracted the pursuers; as for guessing Zuo Youxian's intention to capture him, it was because of the Kunwu sword.
After Mei Zhenyi finished speaking, Zuo Youxian sighed in his heart: "At a young age, I was so anxious and wise. It's really a very human being! I just mentioned the owner of Kunwu Sword. He could calculate so much. Not only was he smart, but he had the root of wisdom. Even I was confused about the articles of those two dishes, and I couldn't imagine it."
Thinking of this, he asked, "I can predict today's situation, but I can't figure out how it happened. Boy, do you know that the masters of practicing can sense the past and the future and deduce the world through this. What is the mystery in it?"
Mei Zhenyi shook her head: "I don't know, I don't have such great skills. Do you have it?"
Zuo Youxian ignored him and said, "The so-called great supernatural powers, which are capable of seeing the past and the future, are not omnipotent, but are touched by opportunities. The Kunwu Sword is an opportunity. You can deduce the world's things in one thought, which is the root of the wisdom eye mentioned by Buddhism. This is not the wisdom eye, but only the root of the wisdom eye. Of course, your cultivation has not yet reached this magic power. But if ordinary people do not have this wisdom root, they will not be able to practice in the future."
Mei Zhenyi smiled bitterly and said, "Senior Zuo, you call yourself the supreme sutra of the world, why are you talking about Buddhism with me inexplicably?"
Zuo Youxian seemed to have not heard it. He was still talking to himself, explaining and deducing the way of worldly affairs. A master of practicing through the sea of suffering and heavenly tribulations, reaching the realm of supernatural enlightenment, can sense many things happening in the world. This is often exaggeratedly described in folk legends as "knowing for five hundred years and pushing for five hundred years". In fact, this is just a feeling due to opportunities, not omnipotence.
For example, you can simulate and deduce it in Lingtaichung. A master of cultivation uses his incarnation to enter and exit a special illusion, which can be exactly the same as a certain environment in reality. Starting from an event, experiencing past and future events in the illusion is called "dependence".
If you are truly the same as the body and mind inside and outside. The tempering of the past has long been calm, and many experiences will not change even if you take another move. Then in such an illusion, you can use some opportunity as the starting point to deduce the changes in the world. A master of cultivation turns into an illusion in the spiritual platform. It seems that outsiders often only have a blink of an eye, but they can experience many scenes. This is the way to deduce supernatural powers, which is equivalent to the simulation of the truth of the world. Dependence and death, and a thought.
Do you see the supernatural powers accurately? They are often very accurate, but this supernatural power is not omnipotent. It is only related to opportunities and is limited by one's own vision. The wisdom root is nothing more than the ability of everyone to deduce, but ordinary people can only imagine in their hearts that they cannot be immersed in their hearts, and their thoughts are very complicated and impossible to imagine.
Deduction with supernatural powers is not about imagining in the mind, but about constructing a scene that coincides with reality in a state of concentration, and empirical experience with an unchanging attitude. Being able to achieve this step is equivalent to the wisdom and supernatural powers mentioned in Buddhism.
Zuo Youxian explained the mystery of deducing the magical powers, and Mei Zhenyi suddenly reacted - Zuo Youxian was guiding him to practice the mental method! So he stopped interrupting, squinted his eyes and listened carefully. The more he listened, the more he felt gained. The Lingshan mental method he had practiced would reach a profound realm. Can you also use this to deduce the magical powers?
Mei Zhenyi's cultivation is limited, and her mind and concentration are not enough. She can't reach this state in a single thought. The mind of Lingtai cannot build a real world as usual, and she can enter and exit at any time with her incarnation. But what about the future? Zuo Youxian's words opened a window and answered a question he had when reading mythological stories before - how do gods know the past and the future? What kind of past and future do they all know?
Mei Zhenyi did not have such supernatural powers yet, and Zuo Youxian did not tell him how to practice and realize this supernatural powers. She just described a state to him. When Mei Zhenyi heard this, she suddenly felt enlightened. After Zuo Youxian finished speaking, she turned to look at Mei Zhenyi and found that the boy was thinking in a state of meditation.
Zuo Youxian nodded with satisfaction: "Boy, are you in a daze? Then think about it slowly, don't bother me, and don't try to escape." After saying that, she sat cross-legged and closed her eyes and drooped.
