Seeking good fortune and avoiding misfortune starts from Tianshi Mansion

Chapter 171 Tang Xiaotang comes out of confinement and returns to the mountain to settle accounts

After listening to Lei Jun's words, Yueyao said, "Can you tell me what kind of elixir it is?"

Lei Jun: "Chengjing Dan."

Yue Yao: "It's a pity that it's a residual recipe. Speaking of which, I remember that Mu Yao also has a residual recipe of elixir on hand?"

Mu Yao: "Yes, this is the Taoist Tianyuan Qingjing Dan."

Lei Jun was interested in this recipe, but he was not in a hurry, so he deliberately showed that he didn't care much: "I'm not very interested in the incomplete recipe. There is no need to replace the residual recipe with the residual recipe."

Yueyao: "Yours is also a remnant, and it is also difficult to estimate, so I will not participate."

Riyao and Mu Yao were both silent, seemingly equally uninterested.

Lei Jun was not depressed, and listened calmly to Yue Yao's next words: "I want to ask everyone, who has any information about the big demon? I mean, a large-scale collective action of the demon clan, not a single demon causing trouble."

Although the sun is still shining brightly, it seems to only care about the news about Wei Ancheng, the leader of the Blood River Sect. When he doesn't get a response, he shows little interest in other things, as if he has been silently recuperating.

Lei Jun was also silent for a moment, and many thoughts flashed through his mind, guessing Yueyao's purpose of caring about the big demon's movements.

"I have some unconfirmed information, but I don't know if it will suit your needs." Mu Yao said at this time.

Yueyao: "What do you want?"

Mu Yao: "Let's talk in private later."

Facts have proved that Yueyao is not the only person this gentleman wants to chat with privately.

Later, after everyone seemed to have finished talking and dispersed, Lei Jun received a summons from Mu Yao.

The purpose is about the remnant prescription of the clear elixir he has mastered.

Although it was a private chat, Lei Jun's way of expressing his interest so intuitively made Lei Jun have a lot of guesses in his mind.

It's hard to tell whether the other party is a Buddhist or whether he deliberately misleads him with falsehoods.

Lei Jun prefers the former for the time being.

Because the elixir recipe of Chengjing Dan has a meaning that is not limited to itself.

It may also involve the broken candlestick instrument.

However, Lei Jun remained calm for the time being and talked to the other party calmly.

Mu Yao: "What do you want in exchange?"

Lei Jun: "Inquire about something."

Mu Yao: "Please speak."

Lei Jun: "Let me tell you in advance that although the pill recipe is a residual recipe, it is guaranteed to be true. In this way, the information is of extraordinary significance. This time we will not barter, so I require at least two pieces of information in exchange."

Mu Yao seemed to think about it for a moment, then spoke again, with a tone that could not detect sadness or joy: "What kind of news do you want?"

Lei Jun: "I want to know information about the White Lotus Sect, Huang Tiandao and Dakong Temple, at least two."

The three names he reported are all famous in the world of monasticism.

To be precise, these three companies can be called the three major rebel dens.

Naturally, there is no need to mention the White Lotus Sect.

Huang Tiandao has also been denounced as evil by the Tang Dynasty court and is wanted on a daily basis.

Dakong Temple is no less generous.

To a certain extent, this can be regarded as one of the heretics of Buddhism, and like the White Lotus Sect, it is the mortal enemy of the four holy places of Buddhism.

Even the relationship with the White Lotus Sect is not harmonious, and there are often hostile conflicts.

Although both families believe in breaking the old world, there are still big differences inside.

Not to mention that one worships Maitreya, the future Buddha, and the other worships the Great Destruction Tathagata.

Just breaking the old world concept makes a big difference.

The White Lotus Sect talks about the destruction of the present world and the birth of the future world, so that all living beings can achieve ultimate happiness.

Dakong Temple, however, believes in constant destruction and cycle, the old becomes the new, the new becomes the old, and when it is broken again, there is no end. Only constant destruction is eternity.

In terms of their external behavior, the disciples of Dakong Temple are more radical and fierce than the disciples of White Lotus Sect.

Rumor has it that the methods they practice involve evil spirits and evil atmospheres, and they practice methods of destruction. While their combat methods are powerful, their style is also more ruthless. They are very different from most Buddhist traditions, but they have the image of a Buddhist heretic.

About two hundred years ago, Dakong Temple once stirred up rebellion in various parts of the Tang Dynasty, causing huge momentum, but was eventually suppressed.

The Dakong Temple inheritance suffered heavy casualties, and the few remaining descendants fled overseas to avoid arrest and killing.

Within the current land area of ​​the Tang Dynasty in Central China, the descendants of Dakong Temple have not been seen for many years.

However, after Tang Xiaotang returned from traveling across the East China Sea earlier, he accidentally mentioned a few words to Lei Jun while chatting.

She went to sea to find the Tianshi Sword. She had met the descendants of Dakong Temple overseas, but she didn't have much contact with them.

Lei Jun was currently talking to Mu Yao and brought Dakong Temple out, mostly to put the three major rebel dens side by side.

His real focus is, first of all, Huang Tiandao.

"There are two pieces of information here for your reference, but they are both unconfirmed. I wonder if they can be replaced by your prescription."

Mu Yao said eloquently: "Two pieces of news came from Huang Tiandao and Dakong Temple respectively.

The first is Huang Tiandao.

I heard some rumors that Taiping Taoist, the leader of Huang Tiandao, had been in seclusion for many years since he was injured at the hands of Xu Yuanzhen and Li Hongyu in the battle of Longhu Mountain six years ago and rarely appeared in public.

The current affairs of Huang Tiandao are temporarily managed by the elders of the faction.

but……"

After a brief pause, Mu Yao continued: "According to rumors, there seems to be a serious conflict within Huang Tiandao. They are divided into two factions and there are often internal fights, but I don't know the specific details."

Lei Jun listened, and for a moment he wanted to hold his forehead and sigh.

Is it really infinitely divisible internally...

The Tianshi Mansion in Longhu Mountain is like this now, and even Huang Tiandao, who has separated from his family, is like this?

"The second news is about Dakong Temple."

Mu Yao continued: "There are rumors that Dakong Temple is showing signs of becoming active again and is seeking to return to the shore from the sea.

A new Buddhist disciple appeared in the temple with great talent. After uniting the Dakong Temple, which was originally a mess, it began to regroup. "

Lei Jun raised his eyebrows slightly.

He asked the question about Dakong Temple in passing.

But if Mu Yao’s news is true, Datang will be very lively next.

It may not have a direct impact on Tianshi Mansion.

What happens indirectly is difficult to predict.

"Although this is news that needs to be confirmed, I am willing to trade with you."

Lei Jun spoke calmly and provided the remaining recipe of the Clarifying Pill, which was the original version that had not been repaired by the first level of the Zhenyi Dharma Altar when he first acquired it.

He is not in a hurry for Tianyuan Qingjingdan.

The broken candlestick and the complete clear elixir were both in his hands.

This transaction is no different from the previous exchange of souls for golden crystals, where physical objects were exchanged for physical objects, and the place and method of the transaction had to be specially determined.

Now Lei Jun can directly provide the remaining formula of the clear elixir to Mu Yao.

After the other party picked up the phone, he said goodbye to Lei Jun and then left.

Lei Jun looked at the vast starry sky where all the other stars were dimmed, and fell into deep thought.

Later in the evening, his thoughts broke away from the Book of Heaven.

Originally, he planned to meet his master Yuan Mobai after coming out of the Shangqing Lei Mansion Cave.

But Yuan Mobai was in Gaogong Pavilion, and seemed to be extremely busy during this period, never having time to spare.

When Lei Jun saw this, he did not disturb the other party and started practicing quietly by himself.

Yuan Qi, the creation of the Five Elements, was continuously refined by him.

Within his body, the fourth Taoist palace, the Western Lingguan Palace, has now taken shape and is beginning to be laid.

…………

Jiangnan water town.

In the middle of winter, although it is not as cold as in the north, it is still a little chilly here.

However, the pavilion on the water where Chu Yu lives is warm as spring all year round, and the scenery is always pleasant.

She was wearing home clothes and reading quietly in the waterside pavilion.

Until a special guest came to visit her during this month of fasting.

"Dad." Chu Yu invited an old man to take a seat in the studio.

The old man has an elegant and gentle temperament, and a clear and handsome face, which makes people feel heart-warming.

He is clearly one of the Five Surnames and Seven Hopes in the World, the contemporary head of the Chu Clan in the south of the Yangtze River, Chu Zhuoran, the elder of the Chu State.

He was currently sitting across from Chu Yu, and there was no sign that the father and daughter had ever argued before.

But in fact, the father and daughter did have a conversation earlier.

It was also after that conversation that Chu Yu left the ancestral land of the Chu family and settled in Yuezhai where he was now.

No one knows at the moment that Mr. Chu actually came to Yuezhai secretly in person instead of summoning his daughter Chu Yu back to his ancestral home to meet him.

"His Royal Highness King Wu has been struggling for a long time, but he has finally reached this point."

Mr. Chu Guolao smiled warmly and looked at his daughter: "When will we set off?"

Chu Yu replied: "Everything is ready. After seeing you, my daughter will leave for the north to join His Majesty."

Chu Guolao: "Now that the arrow is on the string, we should aim at the right target. Very good, very good."

He looked at Chu Yu, and after a while he sighed softly: "To be honest, I never expected that you and His Majesty would be so compatible."

Chu Yu smiled: "My daughter really wants to boast that she has good eyesight and expected this day early.

But... to be honest, my daughter only made two like-minded friends back then, and she also never expected that Datang would become what it is today.

In particular, I never expected that the late emperor would control Bintian so early. Otherwise, if the prince successfully succeeded to the throne, his majesty would not be the most important person today. "

"Your Majesty the current Queen..." Mr. Chu's smile faded a little: "She is really very human."

Chu Yu's smile continued: "My daughter won't talk about Your Majesty in front of you. It is not in line with how friends should get along, and it is not in line with how a monarch and his ministers should get along."

Not only was Chu Guolao not annoyed when he heard this, but a smile appeared on his face again and he nodded gently: "Very good."

He looked at his little daughter, whom he always regarded as the apple of his eye, and said calmly:

"Since you have chosen Her Majesty the Queen, naturally you must put Her Majesty first in everything, not to mention other people. If one day Your Majesty wants to attack me in Suzhou, I have no need to be merciful."

The so-called branches and leaves spread out, and roots take root when they fall to the ground.

Even if the left hand fights the right hand, the new tree competes with the old tree for sunlight, causing the old tree to wither, the old man of Chu does not take it seriously.

As long as the Chu family's tree remains standing, that's all.

The sea flows across the river, and the mountains and rivers change.

The Chu people in a thousand or ten thousand years may not be the Chu people today.

But as long as the inheritance continues, his wish will be fulfilled.

Things in the world are ever-changing and never go as planned. The more preparation you have, the more opportunities you will have.

"Dad, I hope you will take care of yourself." Chu Yu saluted his father.

Mr. Chu smiled and nodded.

…………

On Longhu Mountain, Lei Jun meditated.

It wasn't until Yuan Mobai returned from Gaogong Pavilion that Lei Jun went to meet his master.

The first thing he showed off was his newly acquired Thunder Heart Furnace from Shangqing Lei Mansion Cave Heaven.

When Yuan Mobai saw it, he couldn't help but smile: "Did this thing actually fall into your hands? It can be regarded as a fate."

Lei Jun: "I have some free time later, and I'm thinking of asking Master for advice."

Then, he mentioned some news about Huang Tiandao that Mu Yao told.

After Yuan Mobai listened quietly, he asked, "What do you think?"

Lei Jun: "There are few clues and it is difficult to make a judgment. There are many possibilities.

But if we let the disciples guess at this moment, there are two possibilities, the chances are relatively high..."

Yuan Mobai: "First, seeing that the relationship between Li and foreign surnames within our sect is becoming more and more tense, some people in Huang Tiandao hope to unite with us, the descendants of foreign surnames in Tianshi Mansion. Some people think that today's Tianshi Mansion, regardless of Li Outside, they are all enemies, and their two judgments are at odds with each other, so conflicts and divisions arise.”

Lei Jun nodded: "The second is that there are other big external forces, more than one, secretly supporting Huang Tiandao, but for this reason, each has its own representative, resulting in Huang Tiandao being divided into factions."

The warm smile on Yuan Mobai's face did not change: "No matter what the possibility is, if there is really a big trouble on Longhu Mountain, Huang Tiandao is still very likely to take risks, and we cannot be negligent."

Lei Jun: "Disciple understands and will obey Master's teachings."

"In troubled times, we can only do what we can do. As the saying goes, we can do our best to ensure destiny." Yuan Mo said in vain.

Lei Jun heard the voice of his master: "Something happened?"

Yuan Mobai: "I just got the news that King Wu has rebelled."

The imperial edict summoned King Wu to the capital to meet the emperor, but King Wu said he was ill and could not afford it.

An imperial doctor came from the capital. King Wu delayed it several times, but recently he could no longer delay it. He finally launched a rebellion and raised a flag of rebellion. He listed the many major crimes of the current queen. The first one was to accuse the other party of regicide. Emperor Zhang Qilong, now wants to kill him, King Wu, in order to silence him.

Similar talk of words does not focus entirely on words.

The Emperor and the Son of Heaven control the mountains and rivers of the world, and the dragon vein of luck follows them. While they are strong, they also affect the support of the people.

King Wu is currently a basic operation.

There are even more articles to be done in the future.

Of course, the final outcome will still depend on the most fundamental contest between the two sides.

The essence of a verbal war is to reduce the opponent's advantage and increase one's chances of winning.

On the opposite side, Her Majesty the Queen obviously did not take seriously what King Wu said before about being seriously ill, and was also ready to go.

The moment King Wu raised the flag of rebellion, the formal suppression of the rebellion began at the same time.

"Isn't it that the current Holy Emperor can't control the King of Wu?" Lei Jun asked his master.

To say that King Wu has no ability at all, of course it is not the case.

The problem is, ever since the news leaked out about the collusion between King Wu and the general of the Demon Suppressing Guard, he has been targeted by the Queen.

To reach today's situation, I was forced to this step by the Queen step by step, fighting a trapped beast.

It is not an exaggeration to say that King Wu was forced to rebel by the Tang imperial family.

...On the other hand, King Wu should also have a plan in mind. Even if the Tang Dynasty is unstable now, he still has a very slim chance of winning.

"At the same time that King Wu raised the flag of rebellion, demon chaos broke out in the East China Sea, and the invasion was severe. Even if the damage was not as bad as the previous Western Regions, it was not far behind." Yuan Mobai said softly.

Lei Jun raised his eyebrows.

No wonder.

Yuan Mobai: "My subordinates are responsible for suppressing the rebellion in the land of Wu and Yue. The latest news is that His Majesty is currently heading to the East China Sea in person."

Lei Jun: "Did the incident involving King Wu involve Master, you and senior brother?"

Although he estimated that the Tang Dynasty imperial family would not have any trouble at the moment, he was not wrong to be careful.

In this regard, Lei Jun agrees with senior brother Wang Guiyuan's opinion.

Yuan Mo Bai Wan'er said: "No at the moment, not even Senior Sister Shangguan has asked about it. Even if there is something, I will talk about it later."

Lei Jun thoughtfully said: "On the other hand, if something happens to our sect now, the Tang Dynasty imperial family can only give some verbal advice at best, and will not interfere directly?"

Yuan Mobai nodded: "That's exactly it."

He looked more upright: "In the past few days, there have been traces of the activities of the Blood River Sect monks on the outskirts of Longhu Mountain and the boundary of Xinzhou."

Lei Jun sighed: "It's really like a group of vultures flying around all day long, just waiting to eat corpses."

Yuan Mobai: "Be more vigilant."

Lei Jun: "Yes, Master."

Led by Yuan Mobai and other three high-ranking elders, they began to organize the elite forces in the mansion to patrol down the mountain in turns to clean up the secret arrangements of the Blood River Sect.

Lei Jun's current cultivation level in the fifth heaven realm has begun to take on more responsibilities. Although he has not opened the door to accept disciples, he has to be responsible for leading the team from time to time and leading other disciples to take action.

Outside the mountain, they successively destroyed the Blood River Formation secretly arranged by the Blood River Sect disciples.

They also encountered some masters with three days of cultivation from the Blood River Sect, and a fierce battle broke out.

In the mountains, you can see the blood all over the sky, covering all directions.

But immediately a sea of ​​fire spread out, fighting the sea of ​​blood against the sea of ​​fire, burning large areas of dirty blood.

Lei Jun waved his hand, and immediately two more high-level spiritual talismans from the Tianshi Mansion flew out, one was the boundless fire sea talisman, and the other was the wind and fire city talisman, and the fire kept intertwining.

Opposite him was an elder from the Blood River Sect who had cultivated for three days, and was beaten by Lei Jun for a while, which made him lose his temper.

The masculine fire method and thunder method do target the yin and evil blood sea to a certain extent.

But it’s not entirely restrained.

Both Blood River and Blood Sea are good at polluting the opponent's mana.

Even the fire and thunder methods may be contaminated by blood and lose their magic.

The Blood River cultivators were not completely helpless in the face of fire and thunder spells.

What's more, Lei Jun's Sea of ​​Fire Boundless Talisman and Wind and Fire City Talisman are not natal talismans.

The two sides should have been in a battle between water and fire. If there is too much water, the fire will be put out, and if the fire is too big, the water will dry up.

The problem now is that Lei Jun has jointly practiced the Yin and Yang Ersha and the Yin and Yang Ergang, and for other reasons, the power of the magic is obviously beyond that of other Fu Lu Sect monks in the same realm.

So now he used the magic talisman from the mansion to hit him, which also hit the elders of the Blood River Sect on the opposite side and had no choice but to retreat.

Lei Jun did not pursue blindly in case a Blood River Sect master with three days of cultivation appeared.

It's just strange to say that during this period, the people in the Blood River Sect around Longhu Mountain were only at the sixth level of cultivation, and there were no big guys who were above three days.

Attracted by the war in the East China Sea and Wuyue?

Or is it for other reasons?

"boom!!!"

Lei Jun was thinking in his mind when suddenly an earth-shaking loud noise came from the distance.

Not only Lei Jun, but also the disciples of the Tianshi Mansion who were active outside the mountain looked back at the same time.

The source of that shocking noise was none other than Longhu Mountain, the ancestral palace of our mountain gate!

I saw purple thunder covering the sky above the top of Longhu Mountain and blue flames across the sky.

Dragons roared and tigers roared at the same time.

We are not facing the enemy together, but the dragon and the tiger are fighting against each other!

The young senior sister ended her seclusion and went back to the mountain to find someone to settle the accounts with... Lei Jun understood clearly in his heart.

PS: The first update today, 5k chapters. Logically speaking, there should be another chapter today. I did the math. I want to write a 6k chapter for the next chapter. The next chapter is a relatively big plot, so I considered the chapter to be larger. It has to be coherent so everyone can see it coherently. It’s just that it’s already this hour, and I don’t know what time it will be when I finish writing. But if I sleep now and write tomorrow, it will be tomorrow and tomorrow. I’m really confused. I’ll write first and see if I can write as much as I can. If it doesn’t work, I’ll sleep. Set an alarm and get up before continuing. Don't wait at night. We apologize for any delays.
