Chapter 163: There are many lewd temples by the water of Pengze, and there are no five gods along the way

He Huogen looked anxious: "Who doesn't want to marry a husband who is a young man who is in love with each other? Does the young aunt want to marry a stranger who comes to propose marriage? It's all because of her parents' orders. Brother, tell the truth, are you ruthless to my sister?"

He suddenly asked this question, but before Mei Zhenyi could answer, he stomped his feet and said, "Oh, even if you go to propose marriage, it's not the time. My mother is no longer the same. She has been getting more and more aware of her in recent years. I'm afraid she won't look down on you, brother Taoist, we have to think of a solution!"

This man is honest and honest in his nature. He is not afraid of hurting Master Xiao Lu's self-esteem, but his meaning is obvious. He hopes Master Xiao Lu can be his brother-in-law, and he also takes it for granted that the other party will agree.

When Mei Zhenyi heard this, she was both emotional and ashamed. She was moved by that era when women could not make decisions about their marriage. She might marry someone, even if she was Princess Yuzhen. She was ashamed that she and the He brothers and sisters were not considered real "two little girls", and the family still didn't know their identity until now.

He remembered the purpose of his visit again. He was here to say goodbye. He grabbed He Huogen and said, "Brother He family, take me to see your parents. I have something to say, don't let the young aunt and other people in the family hear it."

"Are you going to propose marriage now? After three years of not seeing each other, have you thought about what to say? Don't say it too shabby. Let your parents agree to it first. Brother will try to arrange other things for you... Oh, I forgot to tell you that my brother is now married, and you will see your sister-in-law when you go in later." He Huogen was a straight-hearted person, only thinking about Taoist Lu being his brother-in-law, and he didn't know what Mei Zhenyi was thinking at this time.

"Uncle and aunt, I have been taken care of by you since I was a child. Please accept my worship! Today I have something to tell you, I am a disciple of the miracle doctor Sun Simiao. I am proficient in medicine. Do you still remember?" This is what Mei Zhenyi said when she paid homage to the two elders in the side hall of the He family's new house.

He Musheng quickly helped him up: "The Taoist priest is my benefactor, you made a living for Huogen, and you cured your youngest sister-in-law's illness. We watched you grow up like a family, why did you become so polite after three years?"

Mei Zhenyi's next words made the He family and He Huogen stunned: "Actually, I did not cure my youngest girl's illness. I just tried to make her feel better in her lifetime. She had congenital deficiencies and was only 30 to 70% of her life."

He Huogen widened his eyes and stammered: "Brother, you, aren't you kidding?"

Mei Zhenyi: "Can I make such a joke? Aunt, when you are pregnant with a young girl, do you often open a cage to ask the fairy to get the fairy? The root cause of the disease fell at that time. If you don't believe it, press the position on your body now. What do you feel?" As he said that, he raised his hand and pointed at a certain acupoint under the soft ribs of the fairy girl.

He Xiangu reached out and pressed it. He Musheng and He Huogen subconsciously pressed the same place on their body, and said in unison: "Don't you feel anything?"

Mei Zhenyi: "You don't feel anything. But my aunt can try her younger sister now and ask her how she feels? Don't tell her the truth, don't tell me the answer, see if I'm right?"

He Yougu and He Huogen’s wife and sister-in-law were talking in the back hall at this moment. Huogen’s wife said, “Then Taoist Lu has been gone for three years and has not returned. It’s too cruel! If you come to propose marriage this time, don’t give him any good face.”

The young aunt's face turned red and she lowered her head and said, "Sister-in-law, don't joke about me. How did you know that they are here to propose marriage?... He is a Taoist priest, and he is traveling with the immortals. He can't blame him for three years."

Huogen's wife: "Oh, my sister-in-law has not gotten married yet. She has learned to protect her husband? Last time I eavesdropped on my parents' conversation, my father said that Master Xiao Lu is a good person. My mother said that unless he is willing to take off his clothes and go to the He family to be a son-in-law, he can marry you to him. Are they talking about this in the hall? Can Master Xiao Lu agree to be a son-in-law of the He family?"

When the young aunt heard this, she became anxious and couldn't help but look up and asked nervously: "Mom, that's what she said? Sister-in-law, can the Taoist brother agree?

Huogen's wife: "I can't say this. Taoist Lu must be a little embarrassed. But being a son-in-law of the He family is much better than practicing in Taoist temples!... There is obviously a big brother at home and he still wants to recruit a son-in-law. It seems that her parents really treat the Taoist as half of it!" At this point, her words were involuntarily a little sour.

The young aunt was a little unhappy: "Sister-in-law, don't worry, the Taoist brother won't compete for family property with the eldest brother!" She subconsciously thought further.

My sister-in-law was chatting, and Fairy He came in and said, "Young aunt, come with me to your room."

He Yougu, wondering what happened, followed his mother to his boudoir uneasy. He Xiangu closed the door and asked her daughter to stand up. He reached out and pressed her left rib. The Yougu let out a cry of pain and asked in confusion: "Mom, what are you doing? You are talking to the Taoist brother in front, why are you suddenly coming to me again?"

He Xiangu's face changed: "Master Little Taoist Lu saw that you were sick, don't worry, there is no big problem, tell me what he felt just now?" She almost said in shock, but fortunately, she was usually very erotic and immediately got over.

"When you pressed it, will the young aunt feel numb, the soles of her feet, the top of her head, and the pain of acupuncture?" He Xiangu returned to the side hall in front, and Mei Zhenyi asked first.

He Xiangu didn't speak, nodded with a gloomy expression, and Mei Zhenyi sighed: "Think about the time, this kind of symptoms should also appear, and it will become more and more obvious in the next few years. In fact, the first time you brought your young aunt to Qiyun Temple seven years ago, the old immortal Sun had already made a diagnosis."

As soon as he said this, the He family had to believe it and immediately surrounded him and said, "Master, do you have any way to cure your young girl's illness? Please!"

Mei Zhenyi answered honestly: "To be honest, I came here to say goodbye again. I will travel to Kunlun to collect herbs, and I don't know when I will come back. This time I collected herbs to refine the Immortal Spirit Pill, but I can't guarantee that I can cure the symptoms of my young sister. In short, I will do my best... Don't tell her the truth, I just hope she can live comfortably in her lifetime. Don't always have too many worries."

This time, Mei Zhenyi said goodbye and left the He family without even having food. Finally, she told the He family's parents about her youngest's illness, and couldn't tell whether her mood was relaxing or heavier. As soon as she walked out of the village, she heard footsteps chasing her from behind. Mei Zhenyi turned around and looked at the arrival of He Yougu, and He Huogen also stood from the entrance of the village and looked at her sister's back.

He Yougu was slightly panting, with sweat and blush on his pink face. He ran to Mei Zhenyi and stood still, raised his face and said, "Brother Taoist, are you leaving again this time?"

Mei Zhenyi apologized: "It's the land, I will travel far away to Kunlun to collect herbs. I don't know how long it will take to go."

He Yougu: "My brother told me that you saw that I was sick and wanted to collect herbs to treat me. Is that true?" He Huogen did not completely conceal his sister. But he did not tell the whole truth to his sister, so the young aunt asked this question.

Mei Zhenyi answered gently and relaxedly: "This disease is nothing serious. Nothing will have any special impact on what you do on weekdays. Don't take it seriously, just live a good life. If I go to Kunlun, I will come back to treat your disease."

He Youguen bit her lip and asked again: "If I wait for you to come back, I'll be married?"

Mei Zhenyi: "Then you are still the sister of the He family. I will treat you the disease."

He Yougu's face darkened. He seemed to be feeling aggrieved. After a long time, he mustered up the courage and said, "Can you give me a correct letter? How long will it take?"

Mei Zhenyi replied helplessly: "I can't say it well, but I will definitely come back to see you before you turn 30 years old."

He Yougu lowered his head and took out a small jade bottle from his arms. It was the one who was pretending to be the Shengyuan Dan. He asked in a low voice: "Do you still recognize this thing?"

Mei Zhenyi: "This is the bottle of the medicine floor I used to load. Do you want to return it to me?"

"No, I just want to tell you that I have kept it all the time!" After saying this, He Yougu turned his body and ran back to Hejia Village without looking back.

Mei Zhenyi stood up in dismay, and after a long time, she turned around and continued to move forward. She walked not far away and came to the place where there was no one on the left and right. She waved her hand and cast a spell to capture a translucent and trance figure from the sky. She asked, "Take a slip. Don't you go to work on your own business, and you still have time to run here to eavesdrop on me?"

Ti Liu turned around and saw that Xingzang was already exposed. He defended him: "Everyone is packing his luggage. I don't have much luggage to pack, so I patrolled along Jiulian Mountain and happened to pass by Hejia Village."

Mei Zhenyi: "It's such a coincidence that you passed by!"

Ti Liuzhuan said embarrassedly: "I know you are here in Hejia Village, so I want to take a look. Actually, Princess Yuzhen made a bet with Sui'er a few days ago, when will you take the girl from He family into the Mei family?"

Mei Zhenyi asked in confusion: "Why did they make such a bet?"

"Mr. Mei and He's family are dating. There is nothing Qi Yunguan doesn't know about it. You have known since you were a child that since the eldest young master loves acting, everyone will act with you. It's been so many years, and it's been expected... This is different from Bai Mudan's situation. Fortunately, I know that Fairy Yan is not angry this time, and it's not easy for Bai Mudan to have another thing next time..."

As soon as he opened his mouth, he kept chattering. As he spoke, he suddenly realized that Mr. Mei's face looked very bad. For the first time, he tactfully stopped.

After returning to Qiyunguan, Mei Zhenyi wrote a letter to Wuzhou Governor Cheng Xuanhu and his father, asking for a private matter - trying to make a private official for He Musheng, with no need to be too high, and it would be enough to be an eighth-rank Chengwulang, which should not be difficult to do. The next day, the group set out from Qiyunguan and started their journey.

Master Hsing Yun put on a gauze crown and changed into casual clothes. He took a car with his female family members such as Yu Zhen, Gu Er, and Sui Er. Princess Yu Zhen also changed into casual clothes and often picked up side curtains to enjoy the scenery outside. Zhang Guo was driving the car in front, and there was a big car behind him that was not a person with only a lot of objects. The driver was Mei Yi.

Qu Zhensheng and Li Lan were riding horses in Taoist suits and bridles. In front of the carriage, the three people at the front of the team did not ride horses and carriages. Zhongli Quan walked in front with big sleeves, Mei Zhenyi and Zhiyan followed behind one left and one right. In order to facilitate the road, they did not want to reveal their identity and disturb the place. Mei Zhenyi also changed into Taoist suits and carried Lu Yan's book of talismans.

They did not bring an extra servant, and no one among these people except Princess Yuzhen needed special care. As for bodyguards, they didn't need to be protected. If there was any eye-opening little thief who dared to make a decision, they could only blame themselves for not accumulating virtue in their previous life.

From Wuzhou to Haozhou, we came to enjoy the scenery of Pengze and tasted local aquatic products. Mei Zhenyi told everyone about the incident of being held hostage by Zuo Youxian. Everyone listened with relish and went to Pengze County to go to the Wanghu Tower. Now the Wanghu Tower is also sold for old chrysanthemum, and it is very pleasant for everyone to drink and chat.

Master Xingyun was vegetarian, and Zhang Guo specifically ordered the restaurant to add vegetarian food and vegetarian food, saying that he would like to eat this too. He accompanied Master Xu to eat vegetarian food together.

Coming out of Pengze County, walking west through the countryside, it happened that the brassica (rapeseed) flowers bloomed. The large fields along the road seemed to be covered with continuous golden carpets. A fresh atmosphere came from the wind, which was a beautiful spring scenery! Yu Zhen and others were amazed and got off the car from time to time and walked and watched.

The scenery is very good, but Mei Zhenyi found that the local customs are not only simple but also somewhat ignorant. In today's local terms, it is very superstitious. Wu Zhu has been popular here since ancient times, and there are many lewd temples among the people.

The so-called "lewd temple" is not entirely a form of lust, but rather a chaotic god. It is a mess of gods. It is impossible to tell what origin is, a fairy or a ghost? Often, something has shown off its magical powers and has made any requests to shock the local people. In that country, someone will set up a temple to worship and worship the gods, and then more people will worship the gods.

The most common worshipped in this area is the Five Gods. The so-called Five Gods refer to the land of the earth, snake, rat, pig, monkey, frog, etc., and also refers to various species of plants, trees, animals, and monsters.

These things feel like they are spiritual. They have some magical powers, but the supreme master guides them to be restrained by the precepts. Many people will do their own things. For example, they show off their magical powers in the countryside, claim to be a god showing off their spirits, ask the villagers to worship them, and even say that they must protect them if they don’t worship them. If they don’t worship them, they will suffer disasters. Some villagers see the magical powers of monsters, or are afraid or greedy, and they will set up temples to worship them. The monsters can also practice with incense.

These so-called earth gods, if there is a land, they will do something for the villagers who worship him around them, such as preventing fire and theft, and scaring the other party during civil wars. If there is a land, they don’t do anything, just cheating food, drink and cheating money, and they will be peaceful. What’s more, they will even bother the countryside, stealing people’s wealth and treasures, and lustful wives and daughters.

For those monsters that disturb the village, the first choice for the common people is to invite experts to catch monsters. Some passers-by will take the initiative to subdue monsters and eliminate monsters. Sometimes, local governments will also ask experts to subdue monsters who are causing trouble when they receive help from gentry. However, in many remote places, the government cannot take full care of them. The common people will "welcome" other "gods" to help. If they really cannot be cured, they will turn to worship and agree to various requests, and exchange benefits for peace.

In short, the lewd temple has existed here for a long time. Many villagers worship the Five Gods everywhere, and from time to time, people raise funds to invite experts to surrender monsters. This is a rather strange situation. There was a Taoist who was wearing a hair and bangs. He was specialized in collecting money to catch monsters in the Pengze area. His business was also very good, but later he was teased by monsters.

When Cheng Xuanhu became the governor of Haozhou, he was quite dissatisfied with this local custom and ordered officials in the country not to participate in or support activities related to the lewd temple. However, the witch style that has been passed down by the people since ancient times was unable to forbidden during his tenure.

Mei Zhenyi saw many rural lewd temples along Pengze Lake. The more I looked, the more I felt uncomfortable. Finally, I couldn't help asking Master: "The witch wind is so strong here that it is surprising. There are so many lewd temples, where do these geniuses who practice without anyone restraint?"

Zhongli Quan replied: "Beasts feel the spirits of themselves, but most of them are instructed by the Supreme Master and have no precepts to the master. Practice is much more difficult, and their actions are encountered by nature and the world. This has been the case since ancient times. The customs here have been passed down since ancient times. I remember that during the Eastern Han Dynasty, there were many lust temples in Pengze during the generations, and they have accumulated over the years to reach today's scale. It is not because there are more lust temples in this place than elsewhere. Some lust temples we have seen along the way have long been no longer attached to the original lust temples, but the tradition of worship of the villagers has been preserved."

Mei Zhenyi: "But in this way, other monsters will be attracted to Pengze's generation to stay, and more and more gather. This kind of witch style will also cause harm to itself! Do the masters of various sects of cultivation in the world ignore it?"

Zhongli Quan: "Some practitioners will naturally take care of the evil spirits when they encounter evil spirits and monsters, but some people do not take the initiative to pay attention to it. Even if they want to pay attention to it, the world is so big that they can only do things when they encounter problems and cannot conquer all the evil spirits and monsters in the world."

Mei Zhenyi sighed, "Is it just empty words to subdue demons? Can immortals like Master stop the witch wind here?"

Zhong Liquan frowned and said, "How do you talk to your master? You should eliminate demons, but what are the crimes of demons? Isn't your housekeeper Zhang Guo also a tree spirit? Didn't your Mei family also set up a Green Snow Temple in the mountains? The immortals jumped out of the cycle of reincarnation and had no prejudice to objects."

Mei Zhenyi explained: "I understand what Master means, whether the sin is in action or not, Zhang Guo is also a monster. My Mei family has also established a temple to repay kindness. But the monsters here are confused and deceived the villagers and showed their supernatural powers and threats to tempt them. This way, it is natural to prohibit them."

Zhongli Quan: "You are right. People should ban this wind, but the blame is not on the immortals? If I encounter those monsters who threaten and lure the villagers, it is reasonable to punish the monsters and enlighten the fools. But I have not encountered monsters in rebellion along the way. Do you want to blame Master for not demolishing the ancestral hall for no reason? Do you think this is what the immortals should do?"

Zhiyan saw that Zhongli Quan was scolding, so he quickly made a smooth move and said, "We have not encountered any monsters who cause trouble. If we encounter them, there is no need for the master to take action. It is enough for me to fight with Zhenyi... To be honest, it is indeed difficult to encounter these things in the world after becoming an immortal. If Zhenyi had not taken his family to travel this time, we would have only flown by the sky."

Then she said to Mei Zhenyi: "World practice is either seeking supernatural powers or seeking transcendence. Not everyone is like Zhenyi, like you, you have been willing to save the world since you were a child. When I first came to the world, if I encountered monsters and made trouble, it would not be my business.... The masters in the world may enlighten and punish them when they encounter monsters, but there are also many younger disciples who are not refined enough. Even if they take the initiative to take care of them, how can you guarantee that they will not conspire with monsters for personal gain? This is much easier than eliminating monsters!"

Mei Zhenyi blinked her eyes when Zhiyan said this, and inexplicably remembered Ming Chongyan, who held the soul refining banner in his hand. After a long time, he said: "You are telling the truth. We do things without forcing harsh criticism. But the world's cultivation world is not only the various schools of practice, but also these monsters who feel the souls. There must be a way to restrain them."

Zhiyan smiled: "If you practice things, you will have all kinds of disasters, and in the end there will be heavenly punishment and thunder tribulation. The worldly affairs can only be taken by people in the world, and monks will also be in it when they enter the world. You have always made many tricks and can do it. Have you come up with any good ideas this time?"

Mei Zhenyi: "There is no good idea for the moment. Let me think slowly and let me do it for the time being. By the way, why didn't we meet a monster who was in trouble all the way?"

Zhiyan patted him: "You smart man are also confused! Master is here, and the monsters along the way have already avoided them."
Chapter completed!
