Chapter 214: The twisted branches are in a state of mind, and the ancient tree holds pine pavilion (Part 1)

Zeren looks humble, but he never acts vaguely, especially the key points are very clear. Even Master He Xi underestimated him, but Master Shou Zheng saw more clearly. I smiled and said to Ziying, "I'm not worried. Is the head of Zhengyi sect so easy to do? Whether to fight or not is one thing, can it be another? I ask you, if it's Feng Junzi or Qiye people, would you worry about them?"

Ziying: "Then what's there to worry about? Not to mention fighting, I'm afraid that my fellow disciples will not even have this idea. I can't accept it."

"So everything depends on people. If Zeren can't handle such things, let alone the leader, you underestimate Zeren too much!... But he married Rong Cheng and really married the right person. You can't see this thoroughly with Zhenren Xi."

Ziying smiled and said, "Lily grew up among the evil people. Zeren didn't know about it, but Lily knew very well. This couple is really a perfect match!"

"The ten-year agreement between Yuri and Zeren is still three years away. I don't think I'll wait that long. Next month, I'll go to Zhengyi to propose marriage and decide the marriage first. At worst, I can get married after three years."

Ziying looked at me: "Aren't you worried about Zeren? Why are you anxious now?"

"I'm afraid of the long night and the long dreams."

Ziying: "You actually said Ye Changmengduo, don't forget that you are the third master in the world's dream... Since you have decided, let's call Rong Cheng."

He ordered Rong Cheng to call him, and she bowed before the seat: "What's the matter with Master looking for Rong Cheng?"

"Rong Cheng, sit down, I have something to say to you."

Rong Cheng: "What are your instructions?"

Ziying: "Your master plans to go to Zhengyimen to propose marriage for you this year. If you agree there, your marriage with Zeren will be decided first, and you will get married three years later... Do you have any objections?"

Rong Cheng: "The disciple has no objection. Since the master has decided, it is just, but, what do you say when the master comes to the door?"

I smiled: "I just said that I would propose marriage for my disciple Rong Cheng and I want to be a Taoist partner with Zeren, a disciple under Hexi Zhenren. Do you hope Zeren agree or hope Zeren refuses?"

Rong Cheng looked a little anxious, and couldn't help but stand up and said, "How can Master say that?"

Ziying waved her hand: "Rong Cheng, why are you anxious? Sit down. Don't you want to know what Zeren will answer?"

Rong Cheng blinked: "I really want to know! But what if he agrees?"

"If you agree, just marry him. Why bother with Ren?"

Rong Cheng: "But, but..."

I coughed and said, "You don't want it anymore. Do you agree to me to propose marriage?"

Rong Cheng lowered his head and said, "Disciple has no objection."

...

In June 2000, one month after Yu Cangwu's wedding, I went to Zhengyi Sanshan to visit. Shouzheng Zhenren had not yet left his retreat, and three real people, Hefeng, Hexi and Heguang, all came forward, and the important disciples of each of them were also sitting down. After talking about some affairs in the cultivation world, I stood up and bowed to Hexi, saying, "Senior Brother Hexi, I have another private matter to discuss with you this time."

He Xi also quickly stood up: "That's right, why did the younger brother suddenly stand up and salute?"

"This gift is for sure. I am here to propose marriage. If things are done, you and I will become in-laws."

Everyone asked in unison: "Who should I propose marriage?"

"My disciple Mei Rongcheng, who is the senior disciple of the Meihua Mountain Sect of Sanmeng Sect. I want to ask her to become a Taoist partner with Zeren, a disciple of Hexi. I wonder what my senior brother wants?"

Everyone in the hall whispered, looking at Zeren, making Zeren blush. Zedong, Zeping, Zeming and others looked very complicated, with envy, jealousy, and happy, etc. He Xi was stunned. He could think of me coming to propose marriage, but he couldn't think of me as a proposal for Rong Cheng, because he didn't know that Rong Cheng was a lily. He was stunned for a moment and looked at me and replied, "This is a good thing! But I can't have the final say for Zeren. I need to ask Zeren himself... Zeren, the leader of the Shi Alliance came to propose marriage, what do you think?"

Zeren walked up to the seat and bowed and bowed: "Thank you, Alliance Leader Shi and Master for your accomplishment."

Zeren agreed without hesitation! He Xi looked at Zeren's eyes with some questions, then showed a relieved expression and smiled and said, "Since it is your affection and my wish, it is also a beautiful thing between me and the Three Dream Sect." It seems that He Xi Zhenren guessed something.

At this time, I also smiled: "Practitioners don't pay attention to those clichés. Let's settle this marriage. Rong Cheng has not practiced enough in Meihua Mountain. I think the formal marriage will be scheduled for three years. Do you have any objection to Zeren?"

Zeren: "No objection!"

The practitioners are just a little bit quick to do things. Since they are willing, they settled things down in a few words. No matter what they think in their hearts, they all came forward to congratulate them. They were also very happy with the three real people of the generation, and they also kept me in the real people of Zhengyi that night, which was a celebration of marriage between the two parties. During the meal, He Xi and I agreed with me that he would take Zeren to visit Meihua Mountain next month, which was equivalent to giving up the appointment.

...

"My junior brother, fellow Daoist Han, Rong Cheng is Lily? And Zeren already knew it, right?"

This is what Hexi said to me and Ziying in the inner hall of the Plum Blossom Holy Realm. More than a month has passed since I arrived in Zhengyi Sanshan to propose marriage. Hexi brought Zeren to worship the mountain. Rong Cheng has been depressed for a while, but he can't find anyone to say it, so it can be considered that Zeren has been waiting for him. After they came, Ziying and I invited Hexi into the inner hall, but Rong Cheng represented the Sanmeng Sect to receive Zeren - what do you mean by the two of you?

Hearing He Xi’s question, Ziying smiled and asked, “Did the senior brother guess or see through it?”

He Xi: "I guessed it. When I proposed marriage, Zeren came forward to thank him without thinking, as if I had already prepared this in my heart. I knew my disciple's temper, and I thought of it at that time!... The self-destructed face and the ten-year absence of meeting made me feel a little ashamed. I didn't expect that the two of them had such clever means and finally got to know each other well. Thank you!"

I waved my hand and said, "Senior brother, don't praise me. These are actually Ziying's arrangements."

Ziying: "Is that so? I just let Lily change her face. Her practice is guided by you. Now she is already in the style of a great man. I don't need to come forward for many things about the Sanmeng Sect."

We were talking when a person suddenly ran out of the door, shouting, "Master is not good, Rong Cheng and Senior Brother Zeren are going to do it."

I shouted, "Zi Cheng, after all, you are the senior brother of the Sanmeng Sect. Is it okay to be more steady? I heard you scream in the entire Plum Blossom Holy Realm! Senior He Xi is here, so why are you here to greet me?"

Dan Zicheng quickly stood up and saluted Hexi in a regular manner. Hexi raised his hand to help him and asked him, "What's wrong with Zeren and Rongcheng? Is there anything he has to blame? It has caused Miss Rongcheng to anger?"

Dan Zicheng: "No, no, Senior Brother Zeren is not rude at all, and he laughs from beginning to end. The more he smiles, the more angry he becomes. Later, Junior Sister Rong Cheng takes out the soul-wrapped troubles and takes action! Don't you go and take a look?"

I said, "No need to go, I really need to fight, Rong Cheng is not Zeren's opponent."

Dan Zicheng: "Senior Brother Ke Zeren will not fight back at all."

He Xi Zhenren: "That's okay, Rong Cheng won't really hurt him."

Dan Zicheng looked at us indifferently and looked a little depressed. He had such a big gossip but no one paid attention to it. Ziying asked him with a smile: "Rong Cheng talked to Zeren and even took action. He definitely couldn't be in front of everyone. How did you know these things?"

"Me?——" Dan Zicheng was speechless for a moment, and looked at He Xi with a hint of embarrassment. The boy knew he was embarrassed, and I shouted softly: "He Xi is not an outsider, just say that little thing - how did you eavesdrop on someone's private words?"

Dan Zicheng lowered his head and said, "I saw Junior Sister Rong Cheng walking out of the villa with a stern face. Senior Brother Zeren was by her side, so I guessed that they were going to the Plum Blossom Valley outside... I went out through the back door and hid it first on a big tree in the valley. They came indeed later."

In the Plum Blossom Valley, Dan Zicheng heard a conversation between Rong Cheng and Lily—

Zeren: "Junior Sister Rong Cheng, since you have something to ask me, why don't you say a word?"

Rong Cheng stood under a big tree and turned around and looked like frost: "Ze Ren! Did you agree to my master's proposal?"

Zeren: "Of course, since you already know, why ask me?"

Rong Cheng stomped his feet: "How could you agree?"

Zeren: "Since I am willing, why can't I agree? Is it not your intention to propose marriage to the leader of Alliance Shi? If so, I won't force it."

Rong Cheng opened his mouth for a long time without saying anything, and finally said, "You really want to marry me?... Have you forgotten something?"

Zeren looked at Rong Cheng's eyes and eyebrows and smiled: "I once said to you - 'The heart and mouth are opposite, and knowledge and action are united, and the oneness of oneness is to do what you should do.' How could he forget? Of course, he really wants to marry you!"

Rong Cheng was stunned. She did hear Zeren say this at the Zhengyi Sanshan Club. But at that time she was still Lily instead of Rong Cheng, so... Rong Cheng's face suddenly turned red, but his eyes still widened: "When did you know?"

Zeren lowered his head and said, "Shortly after I arrived at the Zhiwei Tower in Feishui, Alliance Leader Shi told me."

Rong Cheng: "So it's Master!...Why are you?..."

Zeren: "My uncle pity for me and does not want to break your promise, so I won't let me point it out. Today is what you said by the girl."

At this point, Rong Cheng suddenly shouted, and the soul-wrapping worries flew out of his sleeves, drawing a large circle in the sky. Dan Zicheng on the tree was shocked, and a fog array of evil cherry blossoms spread out from the filaments, covering Rong Cheng and Zeren's figures invisible. Before Dan Zicheng could react, something suddenly flew out of the fog array, which was inserted into the trunk beside Dan Zicheng. It was Zeren's magic weapon Golden Crow Xuanmu Sword. The trunk trembled, and just shook Dan Zicheng, who was caught off guard in surprise, fell to the ground and fell to the bottom.

The evil cherry fog array had been set up, and Zeren's magic weapon actually flew out, and he was not going to fight back. Dan Zicheng knew that there was no way to persuade them to stop outside, and with his cultivation level, he could not break the fog array, so he had to pat his butt and come to report the news.

After hearing this, I held back my smile and said with a stern face: "Zicheng, you only have two brushes to eavesdrop on the tree? Zeren has discovered you a long time ago, and I have saved you some face and never lost it! When someone really has something to say, I will drive you away... What kind of practitioner are you like like? If you are a puppy team, it will be easy to get into trouble!... I will punish you for being in seclusion in Jingsi Hall for ten days, and you are not allowed to move or open your eyes and speak!"

He Xi quickly advised: "Zi Chong is still young, and he is inevitably naughty in his actions. He doesn't understand some favors. This time he is also to care about his fellow disciples. You should not punish him too much, otherwise I would be embarrassed to be a guest."

Ziying: "Hexi Zhenren, you are not very clear about the situation. You can punish others lightly, and you have to strictly control Zicheng. He is a great disciple of the Sanmeng Sect. Others, including Rong Cheng, are not easy to control him. He should be more like a look for other disciples... But since Hexi Zhenren, the sect leader, you should be more careful?

I nodded: "Since I have pleaded with Zhenren Xi, I'll be treated with ease. Zicheng, you don't have to go to Jingsi Hall anymore. Don't you like climbing trees? As a teacher, I will punish you for not coming down on that tree for ten days, nor for others to approach the Plum Blossom Valley. You can stay alone and be honest enough on the tree."

Dan Zicheng asked with a bitter face: "Master, are you really here?"

"Is this what you asked about Shiming?"

Dan Zicheng: "When? Now?... Senior Brother Zeren and others are still in the Plum Blossom Valley."

"There are guests in the Plum Blossom Holy Realm today. Let's talk about it after you and Master Xi leave."

Seeing that I was dealing with Dan Zicheng like this, He Xi thought for a while and said, "My junior brother punished his disciples. I don't have to wait for me to leave. I still want to stay in this Plum Blossom Holy Realm for a few more days... Let's do this, Zicheng, tomorrow I will send you to the Plum Blossom Valley and watch you climb the tree. I will teach you a set of mental methods and mantras. You can practice on the tree in these ten days."

There was such a good thing, and I asked, "Senior Brother wants to give me some advice on the wonderful method? I'm afraid that his cultivation is still shallow and cannot comprehend it."

He Xi smiled and said, "It must be possible. This child is much smarter than when I was a child... I am ashamed to say that I was a little naughty when I was young. Master also punished me for not being able to land on the ancient pine beside the Songbao Pavilion of Chengshu Peak. This method of collecting the mind and stabilizing the body and spirit was taught by Master at that time, otherwise I would not be able to stay in the tree for so long."

When Zicheng heard that he had forgotten that he was going to be punished, he asked curiously: "Is it because Master He Xi also when he was a child..." Then he felt that it was inappropriate to say this, and changed his words: "Is it difficult to stay on the tree?"

He Xi Zhenren: "You and I are not monkeys? You can climb trees and play, but it will be no fun to stay for a few days! I think it is difficult to sit and lie down between the branches and leaves, and pine trees on all sides are acupuncture. I cannot correct my limbs and body shapes, and I dare not sleep and rest. Even if I am an introductory disciple of the cultivation, it is a great test of my mind. Although there is no pine trees in the plum blossom valley, the branches are more difficult to settle down! That's why I thought of passing on this set of methods to you. After you practice it on the tree, you can understand the way to stay in the body and spirit as you go."

Dan Zicheng: "Have you taught Zeren by Master?"

He Xi Zhenren shook his head: "No, he is different from you, and he is no longer needed now."

The ancient spine beside the Songbao Pavilion of Chengshu Peak? If I remember correctly, the first time I saw Lily was she who eavesdropped on it. I didn’t expect that Hexi and Gusong had this story. I couldn’t help but smile, remembering Feng Junzi’s “punishment” me for several months. Dan Zicheng reacted very well, and he knelt down on the ground and gave a big gift, thanking him: “Thank you, Master!”

He Xi stood up and pulled him up: "No need to perform this great gift, this is your chance... Zeren and Rongcheng should have had enough trouble, right? Why don't you come to greet the elders?"

Ziying smiled and said, "Don't worry, Hexi, real person, I think the time is about to come, and they are coming soon."

Before he finished speaking, footsteps came from outside the door, and then Rong Cheng heard: "Master, disciple and Senior Brother Zeren of Zhengyimen come to see him."

"Come in quickly, I've been waiting for you for a long time."

When Rong Cheng entered the door, his eyes were still red. He had obviously just cried, and Zeren's clothes were wet. Looking at Rong Cheng's expression at this moment, his face was slightly red and a little shy, but his expression was filled with joy.

...

The marriage between Rong Cheng and Zeren was scheduled to be in the autumn of 2003. Three years passed quickly, and the summer of 2003 was already in the blink of an eye. There was no need to prepare too much. The ceremony for practitioners to make a Taoist couple is very simple, and they do not need to register and get a certificate like a secular marriage. Because they are each in the Sanmeng Sect and Zhengyi Sect, this has become a major event that practitioners in the world are concerned about, and the ceremony is still to be held. Rong Cheng and Zeren are both outsiders, and there are no relatives and friends in the secular world, and there is no need to hold a banquet in Zhiweilou. This ceremony was chosen to be held in Zhengyi Sanshan. It is said that the true Shouzheng, who has not been asking about things for a long time, must come forward in person and be witnesses on the scene.
