Chapter 161, Fang Zhengfeng talks about big dreams, it's so easy to break off
Chapter 161, Fang Zhengfeng talks about big dreams, it is so easy to take off his shackles
Zhiyan hit the point of Mei Zhenyi. After the banquet of the courtesan, Mei Zhenyi once said that she had suffered from abstinence before she was twelve years old, but she had a dream that had traveled thousands of years and met Fu Xiaoqing in the dream. But this cannot fully explain why he treated Bai Mudan like this. She could say this with Bai Mudan, but she could not explain it so vaguely with Zhiyan.
Mei Zhenyi pondered for a long time before saying, "Zhiyan, I wanted to tell you something. As a Taoist partner, I shouldn't hide it from you, but I don't know where to start. Not only do I want to tell you, but I also have problems and want to ask my master for advice. This is my biggest confusion in my life. Let's go to Wuzhou to meet my master first, and I will explain all this clearly."
What he wanted to say was to explain the fact that he was a "time traveler". This was indeed his biggest confusion in his life. Many problems were lingering in his heart and could not be solved. It was time to truly stop it. At this moment, we could see the importance of the master of cultivation. When Mei Zhenyi could not be liberated, she could go to Master Zhongliquan for advice. This unique mind that concealed her identity was finally about to open up.
Seeing that he was speaking solemnly, Zhiyan changed his tone slightly: "Your biggest confusion in your life? If you really can't say anything, I won't ask."
Mei Zhenyi shook her head: "It's not that you can't say it, but it's hard to say it. When you ask today, the fate method should come."
The two returned to Wuzhou, but did not return to Qiyunguan, but went straight to Qingyi Mountain. They slipped around and disappeared. Zhongli Quan sat alone on Chengshufeng and drank with a gourd. He was not surprised to see Mei Zhenyi and Zhiyan falling down from Yuntou. He just nodded and said, "You are back, how about Bai Mudan?"
Zhiyan replied: "Bai Mudan hides in a quiet garden in the backyard of the Nanlu Gong Mansion. She is trapped in the three-meter-long flower bush and cannot escape, and she can no longer practice. Zhenyi wants to refine the Nine-turn Purple Golden Pill to help her change the furnace and cauldron. We will go to Kunlun Fairyland to collect herbs and report to the master... Zhenyi has a big event and still has doubts to ask you."
Zhongli Quan: "Is this big event related to the origin of Bai Mudan? The little brat should make it clear. I'm waiting for him to come back and explain, so let's talk."
Mei Zhenyi raised her forward and bowed, pointing to Fang Zhengfeng in the distance and said, "This matter is not the origin of Bai Mudan, but my origin. Please move the immortal to the highest peak of the Three Mountains."
"Your origin? Hehehe, it seems that things are not small! You have to choose a place to tell me, let's go." Zhongli Quan was stunned when he heard this. Then he smiled, waved his fairy fan and flew up Fang Zhengfeng, with Mei Zhenyi and Zhiyan following closely behind.
The top of Fangzheng Peak is the highest peak of Jiulian Mountain. It is already between the floating clouds and the spiritual roots of this earth vein. The earth energy is very special like a small barrier, and birds will avoid it, and they can't even slide up. Standing here, the eyes pass through the misty clouds, Jiulian Mountain and the entire Wuzhou can fully see it, and you can see the crowd.
Zhong Liquan sat on the top of the mountain and waved his fan and said, "You really know how to choose a place. When you talk here, you don't talk about this life."
Mei Zhenyi: "It's this life and this life. But it's not like this life and this life. Master, have you heard of the word "time travel"?"
He had no scruples at this moment and explained his special origin. Starting from the time travel, how he grew up in the Mei family, how he got into college and went to Beijing, how he met Mr. Feng and Guan Xiaomei on the streets. He traveled through time for no reason. When he opened his eyes, he saw Sun Simiao and found that he was Mei Zhenyi, the eldest son of the Mei family who had been lying on the bed for twelve years.
Of course, some modern terms and social changes are inevitable. Zhongli Quan was born in the Han Dynasty. He also understood the changes in the world. As for the process of getting to know Fu Xiaoqing, there is no need to explain it specifically.
He told it with the Silent Guanyin technique, and only Zhongli Quan and Zhiyan could hear it in the world. Although it was not as magical as the three masters such as Qingfeng told a story that had been told for 1,800 years, the divine thoughts were emitted very quickly, and they tried to only talk about their general principles in a concise way.
After listening, Zhiyan looked surprised and didn't speak for a long time, while Zhongli Quan's face was solemn. He twisted his beard and pondered: "I haven't heard of any time travel. It just seemed like I heard of a big dream. You once told Bai Mudan that there was a big dream before the age of twelve. Until Sun Zhenren woke you up, it seemed that this was true."
Mei Zhenyi: "If it is really a big dream, the past that you see thousands of years later in the dream is not false. I also met Miss Guan and Fu Xiaoqing in this life."
Zhongli Quan: "I said that you are calling the past a thousand years later. Don't you think there is anything wrong? That's just what you have experienced. Even if you ask Bai Mudan and Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva himself, there will be no result. Let me ask you, are you Meixi or Zhenyi at this moment?"
Mei Zhenyi replied: "Since breaking the delusion, there is no place for Zhenyi and Meixi, I am me."
Zhongli Quan: "Since that's the case, do you have any questions to ask for advice as a teacher?"
Mei Zhenyi fell to the ground with her knees and respectfully knelt down in front of Zhongliquan and said: "I didn't say it to Sun Simiao back then. I thought about it later and felt regretful for my life. Later, I was lucky enough to take you as my teacher, so I finally made up my mind to ask for advice."
What Mei Zhenyi wants to ask for is simple but also mysterious. Almost every "time traveler" may be confused in his heart. There is an experience a thousand years later, and it seems that he has known the direction of history. So what is the significance of everything he has done in this life to this world?
If you do not change or promote history, but you "know" that there will be many things that will happen in the world that you feel regretful or unwilling to see, and you will always feel uncomfortable.
If you want to change or promote history and can really do it, it means that later history is different from what you saw before traveling through time. Then what you know before traveling through time becomes false. It is ridiculous to guess the unknown with falsehood and then change the unknown.
Just as Mr. Sui said, Mei Zhenyi knew that Empress Wu would be the emperor, but if she didn't want to see her and stopped her from doing so, Empress Wu had no success in becoming emperor, and there was no queen Wu Zetian in later generations, then the direction of history would have completely changed, and the experience before traveling through time has really become a big dream!
The so-called history has not actually happened. What he wants to change is just a dream. But do people in the world really live in Mei Zhenyi’s dream?
Faced with all this, what should Mei Zhenyi do? At this moment, what he cares most about is not changing the world or that big dream, but seeking true liberation. Being freed from this strange and inexplicable time travel experience. This is the question he asked Zhongli Quan for advice.
After hearing this, Zhongli Quan did not answer directly, but turned around and said, "Zhi Yan, you are a person who has experienced the sea of suffering. You have realized something. Let's explain it to him."
Zhiyan bowed and said, "I have not yet transcended the path of life and death and become an immortal. If there is any explanation, please give me advice." She told Mei Zhenyi a short story-
This story quotes the Buddhist sutra of "wisdom without using", which is about the magical power of wisdom. It is said that magical power of wisdom can see the future. Someone saw that when he went out tomorrow, he threw an object on the street from his neighbor's house and hit his forehead, so he didn't go out the next day and his forehead was not hit. What is the magical power of wisdom? What the magical power of wisdom does not happen at all, and it cannot be a magical power.
But if such a person goes out and bites the bullet and gets hit, he does have supernatural powers and wise eyes, but what is the use of it at this time? He still gets hit in his head. This is a layman's retort to the words of a monk, and he thinks he is very clever in asking questions.
But the monk answered very simply: "Does the neighbor's house throw anything? If there is any, then there is a supernatural power. Don't walk downstairs. Don't leave behind the object. If you see the neighbor's house throwing something, go upstairs to advise him not to do this again."
Mei Zhenyi felt thoughtful after hearing this, and Zhongli Quan smiled and asked him, "Boy, do you understand? What Zhenren Sun said to you back then is related to this, do you still remember?"
Mei Zhenyi: "Don't care whether he is a human or an immortal, just look at how he deals with people."
Zhongli Quan: "You remember this sentence quite tightly. But it didn't go any further. The 'he' that Sun Zhenren said may not be a human or an immortal, or a heaven or a world, a world, and a thing from ancient times to the present."
His answer was very simple, pointing to the key points, which means that immortals have supernatural powers. Mortals can also predict the future, or have a "experience" a thousand years later in a very special way like Mei Zhenyi. It is a dream or real thing, but it did not happen at this time.
Whether you can predict or not know why, you don’t deliberately change your own pursuits, support what you yearn for, and avoid what you regret. This is enough. It is not changing history or maintaining history. In fact, everyone’s journey is creating their own history, no matter what era it is.
For Mei Zhenyi, if he saved Bai Mudan and even helped her to cultivate the immortal path, then there might not be Fu Xiaoqing in the future. Is everything he did false? No, because after all, he had that "dream", then it would be better to treat it as a dream. It was his wish to save Bai Mudan at this time, and it was his own benefit without harm to the world.
Seeing Mei Zhenyi thinking hard and unable to answer for a long time, Zhongli Quan asked again: "Sage Kong once said six words, which are also related to this. Can you think of which six words?"
Mei Zhenyi's contemplation was interrupted. When she heard the master's question, she subconsciously replied: "Don't blame the sky, nor do she blame others." After answering these six words, he suddenly realized, as if he had returned to Qingming in chaos, and felt a sudden enlightenment.
Some people in the world like to blame the heaven and the earth, but forget that they are in the cycle of reincarnation of heaven and earth. The essence and blood of their bodies come from heaven and earth and in this life. They only owe heaven and earth, but they do not owe themselves. All sentient beings in the world have regrets, so don’t repeat these regrets about what they do. This is the beginning of practice.
From the beginning to the extreme, there are saints and great virtues in the world, such as the Buddha, who can enlighten the regrets of sentient beings, but they cannot replace sentient beings. Further down, such as Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva, who made a great vow, "If hell is not empty, he will not become a Buddha." But he can only save the world and realize it, but cannot liberate the world. After all, hell is not empty.
When a true practitioner looks at history, reality and the future, he must have this state of mind. This is the enlightenment that an immortal cultivator should have.
Thinking of this, Mei Zhenyi finally smiled. He is already twenty years old this year, which is exactly the age he had traveled through time. His smile now has an invisible affinity, just like Mei Xi back then.
Seeing him laughing, Zhongli Quan also smiled and said, "A master has always said that he has enlightened supernatural powers and blessings in his dreams. Although your dream is bizarre, it is not impossible. It is a good thing to be able to untie the knot today. Fortunately, you said it, otherwise the sea of suffering may not be overcome."
When he heard Xiao Yumei Zhenyi's heart was completely relieved. The experience of the immortal masters was indeed different from that of ordinary people. He neither regarded him as a monster nor was it strange. Although he had this strange "dream" before he was twelve years old, Zhongli Quan and Zhiyan knew it and still looked at it with a peaceful and transcendent attitude.
Mei Zhenyi said the big secret buried in her heart for years. Zhongli Quan didn't even ask him. He looked at the expression as if he was saying: "I don't care where you came from, it's my apprentice, just practice hard." Zhiyan was still smiling from the side, and the expression seemed to be saying: "So that's it? You finally gave the truth!"
All this was beyond his original expectations, and things were so simple! But looking at the master and Taoist couple in front of him, he felt reasonable. At this moment, he suddenly felt an unprecedented relaxation inside and outside his body and mind.
Mei Zhenyi bowed under her clothes and kowtowed a few times. She stood up and said, "No matter when and where she is, she only talks about her own behavior. Today I finally understand completely... Master, I still have one more problem."
Zhong Liquan waved his fan and knocked it on his head: "If you have something to ask, it's hard for you to hold it in so many years! It's just the right time to ask today."
Mei Zhenyi: "What I realized today is that Master taught me, or is it that all the practitioners in the world who practice in this way?"
Zhongli Quan said: "It was your own enlightenment. It was derived from the fact that Sun Simiao lays the foundation for you, and it was also my guidance. It is impossible for all the monks in the world to be the same as you. Even if their supernatural powers are similar, people are different, what they learn and cultivate, and their behaviors will be different."
Mei Zhenyi asked again: "In my view of entering the world, I have heard Qingfeng say, "What kind of methods do I learn in the world to break delusions?"
Zhongli Quan: "What Sun Zhenren teaches is also the Supreme Way. The so-called various things actually lead to the same destination. If you return differently, it is not the Supreme Way."
Mei Zhenyi: "Take the master more and understand the truth at this moment, and you still have to go to Kunlun Fairyland to collect herbs and find people and refine the Nine-Turn Purple Gold Pill."
Zhongli Quan: "I know you will definitely go, so let's go. I'm just about to go to Kunlun Fairyland."
Zhiyan said in surprise: "Master wants to go together too?"
Zhongli Quan: "I'm not going to collect herbs and find people together, I just want to travel to Kunlun Fairyland. I'm just looking for old friends from the immortals to walk together."
Mei Zhenyi and Zhiyan were going to Kunlun Fairyland, and Zhongli Quan also walked with them. I don’t know how long it took to go there, so of course I had to explain the family matters again. I haven’t returned for three consecutive years, and I have to travel far away after only a few days. Mei Zhenyi then understood why many practitioners wanted to "become a monk". It is indeed a troublesome thing to take care of their families in the secular world like him.
When I talked to my family, there were indeed some people who were unhappy. Who? Almost all local people!
Gu'er and Sui'er have not seen each other for three years. They have only been together for a few days and are reluctant to part, but they dare not stop the eldest master from doing their own business. Under Princess Yuzhen's movement, they made a suggestion - to go together.
As soon as this proposal was made, even Zhang Guo, Mei Yi, Qu Zhensheng, Ti Liuzhuo and others agreed and wanted to go together. Mei Zhenyi couldn't bear to refuse but was difficult to agree, so in the end, Fairy Zhiyan came out to rescue the situation.
Zhiyan gave a better suggestion that everyone could accept: Mei Zhenyi had just returned home for three years, and I don’t know how long it will take to go there, so it is really not appropriate. Anyway, collecting herbs and finding people is not a matter of time. It’s better to take your family with you to travel with Donghua Shangxian, so that everyone can accompany you to appreciate the mountains and rivers outside Wuzhou.
But we can't take everyone to the Kunlun Fairyland, where there is a Yaochi barrier, and we can't go even if we don't have the cultivation level. Everyone set out from Wuzhou and walked to the west coast on the plateau. Then they broke up on the west coast. Mei Yi and Zhang Guo escorted everyone back to Wuzhou. Donghua Shangxian took Mei Zhenyi and Zhiyan to the Kunlun Fairyland. The so-called West Sea is what is called Qinghai Lake in modern times.
The fairy Zhiyan proposed to travel in modern terms, and it would take at least a few months to go along the way, and you can enjoy the unprecedented scenery everywhere. This is the real fun of the immortal family. Princess Yuzhen and others' original proposal was not really trying to stop Mei Zhenyi from going to Kunlun Fairyland, but just to find an excuse to let him stay at home for a longer time. Now that he has a better arrangement, he naturally agrees happily.
Mei Zhenyi felt that it had been a long time since she went there. I was sorry for Yu Zhen and others. I wanted to stay for a while before leaving, but Fairy Zhiyan's suggestion was better. She used to travel far away from home. This time instead of staying more, it would be better to take her family out for a trip with her.
