Seeking Good Fortune and Avoiding Misfortune Starts From Tianshi Mansion

Chapter 345 Chapter 344. Speculations from the enemy (first update)

Master Jiasheng looked at Lei Jun.

After a moment, he said: "I am afraid there may be a misunderstanding, just like the misunderstanding your sect had about us earlier regarding the Heavenly Master's robe."

Lei Jun: "Pindao hopes so too."

Chu Yu and Zhang Mu, king of Xun'an, were thoughtful when they heard what Lei Jun said.

 The Western Regions and the Snowy Plains are both vast and sparsely populated, so the Tang Dynasty's control there was relatively limited.

 There are a small number of places suitable for ordinary people to live and multiply. They have been protected by the Vajra Temple, a holy place of Buddhism, to avoid being disturbed by big monsters.

 After Sumeru Vajra came to the world, there is no need to mention this aspect.

However, it also seems more mysterious over there.

The imperial court's letter there mentioned it in a few words, but the details are unknown.

So Chu Yu and Zhang Mu were slightly surprised when they heard what Lei Jun said today.

However, they did not show it on their faces, their expressions were as normal, as if they were just witnessing and watching quietly from the side.

“Although the master is in rest and senior brother Renzhu died, our sect will not lose control of its disciples.”

Master Jiasheng stood up and said goodbye: "The poor monk will pay attention to relevant matters personally."

 He left behind the congratulatory gifts he had brought with him on this trip, stopped attending the ceremony, and went down the mountain to leave.

 Having just mentioned the further treasures of the Taoist sect that may be related to Huang Quan, I won’t mention them any more.

Master Jiasheng returned to the Sumeru Vajra Division, collected his wandering thoughts, met with the leader of the Vajra Division, and explained his journey.

The current appearance of Garuda, Lord of the Vajra Tribe, seems to be the same, and he is no longer injured as before, but the Buddha's light that was transparent and strong around him before is now a little fainter.

 After hearing what Master Jiasheng said, he nodded slightly and said, "Thank you for your hard work."

Master Jiasheng: "If we fail to achieve the prearranged arrangements, the disciple will be unworthy of the master's entrustment."

 Vajra Tribe Leader: "Don't force it, don't worry about it."

Master Jiasheng said softly: "On the surface, the Tang Dynasty court has no obvious tendency, but judging from the current situation, the situation is not conducive to our sect."

 The current situation in the Tang Dynasty continued to change, with internal and external troubles arising one after another.

 Hence, compared to when Xumi had just returned, the Tang imperial family was much more relaxed about them now.

But correspondingly, the Sumeru Vajra tribe added a powerful enemy in Shushan in Huangquan, and the local Taoist holy land of the Tang Dynasty rose even more strongly.

If you have to choose between the Taoism of the Tang Dynasty and the Buddhism of the Western Regions, the latter has no confidence in itself in the current situation.

 Relevant rumors about the Imperial Master of the Tang Dynasty have spread.

The Taoist Sect of the Tang Dynasty, to be precise, is the Tianshi Mansion, the holy land of the Taoist Fulu Sect, which is currently clearly one or more positions ahead of the Sumeru Vajra Sect.

There is a lot of discussion within the Tang court, and there is some suspense about who will be the winner. Instead, it lies more with each other among the top masters in the Tianshi Mansion.

“Previously, if Bashu won this game, they might be able to barely get a tie. If Bashu doesn’t win, there will be no chance.”

The leader of the Vajra Tribe smiled and said: "This is my mistake. I can't blame anyone else. I just feel sorry for Renzhu."

  Master Jiasheng bowed his head.

 In the minds of the current helmsmen of the Tang Dynasty imperial family, it is difficult for them to regain the limelight.

The imperial family of the Tang Dynasty was not monolithic.

It’s just that both the young man in the East Palace of Luoyang and the old prince in Youzhou in the north have close relationships with the famous local Confucian families in the Tang Dynasty.

 They also have contact with the Sumeru Vajra Sect, but they are also restrained.

What's more, at least under the current situation of the Tang Dynasty, Master Jiasheng is still more optimistic about the current Tang Emperor as far as the imperial court is concerned.

“The Tianshi Mansion has a deeper understanding of our side than expected.” The leader of the Vajra Tribe was thoughtful.

Master Jiasheng said softly: "My disciples also feel the same way."

 The leader of the Diamond Tribe was silent.

Master Jiasheng asked softly: "Master, the Tianshi Mansion has rejected the good intentions of our sect. So, what about the Biluo Liuzhu that is involved with Biluo and Huangquan at the same time?"

Vajra Tribe Leader: "Let's stay in Sumeru for now. Although this treasure belongs to the Taoist sect, it is very mysterious and may come in handy later."

Master Jiasheng lowered his head: "Yes."

  ………

The ancestral land of the Ye Clan in Cangzhou.

Ye Wei, the current leader of the Ye Clan, was walking in the winter courtyard with Lin Huan, the leader of the Youzhou Lin Clan who came to visit.

 Former clan leader Ye Moquan is waiting.

“Uncle Shi.” Lin Huan stepped forward to greet her.

 “Yu Jing is here.” Ye Moquan asked the other party to sit down: “How is the current situation of Youzhou culture?”

Lin Huan: “Twenty years of hard work has finally yielded initial results, but we are still far from restoring the old outlook.”

 Ye Moquan: “It would be nice if the context can be resumed, but we can’t worry about related matters.”

Lin Huan: "Uncle Shi said yes."

Ye Wei said softly from the side: "The Heavenly Master's succession ceremony at Longhu Mountain was held as scheduled. Lei Jun, the son of Xuanxiao, took over the portal of the Heavenly Master's Mansion and became the new Heavenly Master."

Ye Moquan: "Although there are currently two ninth-level heavens and two eighth-level heavens, it is appropriate and well-deserved that the imperial court canonizes the four great immortals of Longhu Mountain at once."

Ye Wei: "Longhu Mountain has become a powerful force..."

Ye Moquan: "It's a pity that Chen Yi is missing from our side."

Lin Huan: "Has Uncle Shi heard about the Tianshi Mansion, Shushan Sect, and Huitian working together to make elixirs and medicines for disaster relief?"

"I heard it. It is said that it was the young new Heavenly Master who advocated it." Ye Moquan nodded: "The imperial court was involved, and at the same time, there was also the lineage of Taoist Yanshi who came from Tianli and had a foothold in the Tang Dynasty. The concept of mystery is also involved.”

 Lin Huan was thoughtful.

 Ye Moquan asked: "What do Yu Jing think?"

Lin Huan: "Under the rule of this new Celestial Master, the style of the Longhushan Celestial Master's Mansion itself seems to be relatively gentle and restrained at present. However, Taoism is spread to four branches, and the overall attitude is to expand outwards and upwards. Several other Taoist masters have inherited it. All need attention…”

Ye Moquan nodded lightly: "Sure enough, he is a more suitable candidate for the head of the Tianshi Mansion than the Tang Zhenren of this generation."

Ye Weiyan said: "At present, it seems that his attitude towards His Royal Highness King Zhao and the man from the East Palace is acceptable. He seems to have no intention of participating in the internal disputes within the royal family. However, his thoughts are unpredictable and we cannot make a conclusion yet."

Ye Moquan: "His Royal Highness King Zhao has made his own decision on this matter. It is not appropriate for us to interfere."

 Ye Wei: "Yes, father."

Lin Huan: "Fortunately, the Longhu Mountain Tianshi Mansion now has many potential opponents."

The Taoist Kingdom of the Tang Dynasty has certainly been destroyed, and Huang Tiandao also announced his return to his clan.

But the former Heavenly Master Tang Xiaotang just killed Taoist Kang'an, a high-ranking elder in Lishu Mountain last year.

On this point, if Shushan in Huangquan were to invade the world again, in addition to the Shushan Sect of the Tang Dynasty, the Longhushan Tianshi Mansion would be added to the list of main opponents and targets.

 As for the King Kong tribe in the Western Regions, it was the other side that suffered the heavy losses caused by Li Shushan.

Li Shushan may be wary of the Western Region Vajra Tribe, but they will not take the initiative to target them.

Earlier, when Tang Xiaotang was cultivating in the sea and trying to reach the realm of the Nine Heavens, he was attacked successively by Li Yan, a master of Jiuli, and Wei Ancheng, the former head of the Blood River Sect.

 Wei Ancheng was executed, but Li Yan was still there.

According to Tang Xiaotang's character, he would not treat it as if nothing happened.

The Tang Dynasty imperial family intended to seal the Dihai Gate, and the opinions of the Tianshi Mansion were very important.

One of the reasons is that there is news that the imperial court is interested in the former Celestial Master Tang Zhenren as the top expert who leads the team to seal the void portal to the Earth Sea in Jiuli.

A certain former Heavenly Master himself was gearing up for this.

But having said that, as far as the Ye clan in Cangzhou is concerned, there is also a great enmity between the Haipoli clan in Di Hai.

How to grasp it, Lin Huan is not in a position to say.

  She took the initiative to change the topic: "The current situation has changed unpredictably in recent years, and the overall situation is not conducive to His Highness King Zhao..."

Ye Moquan: "His Royal Highness King Zhao is used to storms. No matter what the current situation is, he can endure it. Don't worry about Yujing."

Lin Huan nodded silently.

After the other party said goodbye and left, Ye Moquan looked at the snowy scene outside the window in trance.

 Ye Wei stood aside and did not dare to disturb him.

 But looking at the old man, there was worry in his eyes. "I'm doing well at the moment." Ye Moquan didn't need to look back. He seemed to have noticed what Ye Wei was thinking and spoke at this time.

 Ye Wei hurriedly said: "My son dare not..."

Ye Moquan cut off his words and said, "Check the whereabouts of Zong Han in Jincheng Village."

The Holy Lord of Jinchengzhai, the "Ghost King" Zonghan, the holy land of the Wumen Ghost Path in the Southern Wasteland, is now basically certain that he has something to do with the evil cultivator of Shushan in Huangquan... Information about the other party flashed quickly in Ye Wei's mind.

 He lowered his head and said: "Yes, father."

 After Ye Wei left, only Ye Moquan was left.

Ye Moquan looked out the window and was silent for a long time again.

I don’t know how much time passed before a long sigh came from the air.

Lin Huan was worried that King Zhao Zhang Teng would lose his temper. The main reason was that Zhang Teng was getting older.

 But in fact, Ye Moquan was even more embarrassed in this regard.

 He doesn’t know how much time he has left…

  ………

 Within the earth sea.

 The Poli and Bili tribes have never completely regained their footing since they migrated.

In this way, while avoiding the threat of powerful enemies at home and abroad, it also affected the future development of the Po Li and Bi Li tribes.

Li Yan, the leader of the Po Li clan, is alone at the moment, standing among the dark mountains, looking into the distance at the gateway to the earth and sea that leads to the human world.

 But he did not step forward.

The great shaman of Jiuli, who was from the Poli clan, came quietly at this time: "Clan leader..."

Li Yan did not look back: "What did those Xuanyuan people say?"

“The Longhushan Tianshi Mansion, which is inherited from the Taoist Fulu sect, has changed its Tianshi, named Lei Jun, and his Taoist name is Xuan Xiaozi.”

 “Lei Jun…”

Li Yan retracted his gaze towards the void portal of the Earth Sea in the distance: "Lei Jun, Tang Xiaotang..."

Has the tall young Taoist priest who used the Celestial Master's Seal and Celestial Master's Sword to stop him now take over the Taoist Fulu Sect?

 For Tianshi Mansion, he does not have as strong hatred for the Cangzhou Ye Clan.

 But that is undoubtedly a great enemy.

Tang Xiaotang had achieved the ninth level and killed Wei Ancheng. The first thing he did next was to cause trouble for Li Yan again.

If given the chance, Li Yan also wouldn't mind completely getting rid of those Xuanyuan people.

It’s just that he didn’t expect that Lei Jun would take over Tang Xiaotang’s position as Heavenly Master.

“Lei Jun, he is qualified to take over the Holy Land of Taoist Fulu Sect, but his cultivation strength is already better than that of Tang Xiaotang?” Li Yan asked.

The person around him replied: "There is no news so far. Tang Xiaotang is at the ninth level of heaven cultivation, and Lei Jun is at the eighth level."

Li Yan: "Then why did he replace Tang Xiaotang?"

“It is said that he killed the monks of the Nine Heavens Consummation of the Taoist Danding Sect…”

 “Huh?!” Li Yan turned around and looked.

The person next to him replied: "I heard that it was a round battle, but the news was brief and the details were unclear."

Li Yan: "Immediately try to check and ask."

 “Yes, patriarch!”

  ………

 The Arctic sea of ​​ice, a vast land.

 Under the ocean surface full of ice floes, a huge black shadow suddenly appeared.

 Like a huge iceberg rising from the bottom of the sea.

Huge black shadow, hidden under the water, has not completely surfaced.

On the ice sheet in the distance, there stood another huge black shadow that looked like a towering mountain peak.

 A giant wolf.

The top big demon in Northern Xinjiang is equivalent to the Changtian Canglang who is a monk in the ninth level of the Heavenly Family of the human race.

Generally speaking, the Long Sky Wolf will not easily set foot in the far north that is close to the ice sea.

 He made an exception today.

 The purpose is to see the huge black shadow under the ice sea.

 Another great demon, the North Sea Whale King.

Changtian Canglang: "Your master is no longer here."

His slightly contemptuous tone did not make the North Sea Whale King angry.

 Under the ice sea, a voice came out: "Although the emperor has died, he has left something behind. I want to take it out. I need a collaborator."

Changtian Canglang: "Oh?"

North Sea Whale King: “Let’s talk.”

Changtian Canglang: “Why me?”

North Sea Whale King: "The snow bear is about to recover, which is not what I want to see."

Changtian Canglang: "...Okay, let's talk."

  ………

 Longhu Mountain, Tianshi Mansion.

 Xu Yuanzhen left the mountain again to explore the secrets of Penglai.

Lei Tianshi bid farewell to Master Tang again today.

Today, Tang Zhenren, Zhang Taigang, Xie Yiying, Ji Chuan and others from the Shushan sect, together with Lao Lu Jinduan of Chunyang Palace, set out for the top of the mountain gate of the Shushan sect.

 In terms of alchemy and pharmaceuticals, Shushan Sect elder Ji Dongquan has arrived and officially participated in the relevant planning.

Zhang Taigang, the leader of Shushan, immediately returned to Xiaoding.

Out of the original agreement, Tang Xiaotang and Lu Jinduan went together to instruct Zhang Taigang and Xie Yiying to sacrifice and refine the natal magic weapon containing the power of pure Yang.

Tang Xiaotang didn’t mind this and agreed immediately.

Similar to Lei Jun, she is quite interested in all kinds of unique and innovative magical powers.

She happened to get to know the magic weapons and magic weapons refined with the power of pure Yang during this trip.

During this period, the Tang Dynasty imperial family began preliminary preparations for the suppression of the Earth Sea Void Portal.

 After the Shushan faction comes to an end, Tang Xiaotang will leave Xiaoding and head south to the Southern Wasteland to lead the battle against Jiuli and the Earth Sea Void Portal.

She has never forgotten that when she was cultivating in the Earth Sea and trying to reach the Nine Heavens realm, Li Yan was also the one who took advantage of the opportunity.

 This trip, I hope I can settle the accounts for the year!

 “With the burden of being relieved of the position of Heavenly Master, nephew Xiaotang will really go into the sea next.” Yuan Mobai sighed with emotion.

Lei Jun: "This disciple has no plans to leave the mountain yet. I reminded the young senior sister to bring the Heavenly Master Sword before, but she didn't bring it this time."

Yuan Mobai: "With the strength of Junior Nephew Xiaotang, most situations will not be difficult for her. However, things in the world are unpredictable nowadays. It is beneficial to be more cautious."

Lei Jun: "Yes."

 The ups and downs outside do not affect Lei Jun's life in the mountains.

As far as Lei Jun is concerned, with the help of Yuan Mobai, Shangguan Ning and others, he has fewer daily affairs to deal with after taking over the position of Tianshi.

There are obviously more things that require his decision-making.

Lei Jun has already anticipated this in recent years, and it is not difficult to adapt to it.

 Normally, he has more time that can be used for other things.

 In personal practice, one should never relax.

The most precious treasure awarded by the imperial court, one of the three Taiyu Stones, began to be silently refined by Master Lei Tian.

PS: This is a 4k chapter. It’s the first update. I’ll release it first. I don’t dare to stay up tonight. Let me get some sleep and write the second update tomorrow morning.
