Seeking good fortune and avoiding misfortune starts from Tianshi Mansion

Chapter 228: Seeing the Sign

When Tang Xiaotang left, he was obviously in a daze.

Lei Jun looked at her back and touched his chin: "Will this have a greater impact... It seems that we should pay attention to avoid it in the future."

Fortunately, Tang Tianshi had a big heart and soon stopped taking it seriously.

Lei Jun currently only listens to the news about the pure yin daughter of Chunyang Palace as gossip.

Relatively speaking, he paid more attention to other news.

For example, news came back from Southern Wasteland one after another, introducing the latest situation.

Although Wei Ancheng escaped, the Blood River Sect suffered heavy losses as a whole.

In the past few years, they were like a group of carrion-eating vultures, following the scent of blood, fanning the flames and taking advantage of the situation, openly and covertly.

The harvest was indeed huge. In addition to Wei Ancheng himself, most of the other Blood River monks also benefited.

Not only did Wei Ancheng finally take the first step from the eighth heaven to the ninth heaven, but the overall strength of the Blood River Sect also improved greatly.

However, in this battle that centered on Mianlong Lake and expanded outward, the Blood River lineage suffered heavy losses. In terms of casualties, not only did they regurgitate all their previous profits, but their overall strength even declined compared to the early years.

It was rare that most of the Blood River disciples who had been hidden in the past reappeared together. They were so majestic before, but now they are so dangerous. They were suppressed and besieged by all forces.

Since Tu Dong, Xiong Gang, and Lian Ran, many Blood River elders have been surrounded and killed in succession, and the casualties of various backbones are countless.

What made Lei Jun pay a little attention was about another master of the Blood River Sect.

Xingfeng is known as the number one among the younger generation of Blood River.

This king's previous style was very different from that of everyone else in the Blood River Sect. He rarely took the initiative to kill people or even provoke others.

But even so, Xingfeng still stands out in the Blood River lineage, and his talent and strength are evident.

And he usually lives alone, and rarely interacts with other people in the blood river lineage.

This time the situation of the Blood River Sect took a turn for the worse, and Xing Feng accidentally appeared to help a few Blood River descendants escape.

But he was not seen assisting Wei Ancheng, the leader of the Blood River.

When other people see this kind of behavior, they can't help but guess that the situation within the Blood River Sect may be a bit subtle...

Sang Lu, the Holy Lord of Gepo Mountain, was seriously injured in the battle at Mianlong Lake.

Li Tianqing chose to support her return to the Holy Land of Gepo Mountain.

The Shenwu lineage will no longer participate in the battle to hunt down the Blood River lineage.

Yuan Shanji, who was expelled from the gate wall of Ge Po Mountain, also escaped the disaster and was never cleared by Shen Wu's lineage. However, he was also injured in the battle of Mianlong Lake and disappeared, and he has not been seen again since then.

Samsara Yuan and Yinshan Cave, led by two masters Feng Gui and Hu Hengyuan, participated in the follow-up war.

In addition to the Blood River Sect, Jincheng Village also suffered heavy losses. The Shanmen Holy Land, which had not been rebuilt for a long time, was once again abandoned and destroyed. The descendants of the Ghost Dao lineage were scattered and hidden, and their whereabouts were hidden. 6̳̳

In addition to Gaopu, it is rumored that they also have two elders from the seventh heaven who died.

In order to escape, the Holy Lord of Jinchengzhai, "Ghost King" Zong Han, also killed an extremely powerful evil spirit.

As a result, their threat to our sect was further reduced... Lei Jun nodded secretly when he heard the news about Jincheng Village.

The lineage of Zong Han, Gao Pu and others can be traced back, and they all had a bad relationship with the Tianshi Mansion. Therefore, after Zong Han unified Jincheng Village, the Holy Land of Witchmen and Ghost Paths became another enemy of the Tianshi Mansion.

But when Wei Ancheng led Xuehe to conquer Jinchengzhai, Jinchengzhai first defeated Cao Chu and other key members, and now Gao Pu and others were killed one after another, and Jinchengzhai was also severely damaged.

They are now in the southern wasteland, just like Blood River, where everyone is shouting and fighting. They will have to seek self-protection for a long time in the future, and the possibility of going north to cause chaos to the Tianshi Mansion is greatly reduced.

In fact, other people within Jinchengzhai who were originally subdued by Zong Han and Gaopu may have other ideas to change the situation in Jinchengzhai, which originally had a tendency to unify.

Wei Ancheng and Xuehe suffered heavy losses, and the descendants of the Sui family were equally sad.

It was already difficult for them to accumulate some talents, and Yang Yuqi, the prince of Shengkang, was almost beaten into a polished commander.

Under such a situation, the restoration of the country is like a mirror in the mirror. Even if Yang Yuqi can persist, how many of his subordinates, old and young, still have the determination and confidence to continue?

From this perspective, although the Tang Dynasty imperial family failed to retain Wei Ancheng and Yang Yuqi this time, it has achieved its initial goal.

After all, Queen Zhang Wantong and other powerful members of the imperial family did not go south at all.

Of course, there are losses.

In addition to Shangguan Peng who died earlier, the Tang Dynasty Shence Army lost another seventh-level martial arts master.

There are also many injured people left.

There is no shortage of masters like General Shangguan Yunbo who can stand alone.

In order to protect himself and the gangsters, and to escort the incomplete Sui imperial seal back to Beijing, he had to leave the front line and return north early.

In the war that ended after that, Xiao Xueting and Shen Qubing's achievements and reputations were achieved.

Of course, the biggest mystery in the eyes of countless people during this battle in the Southern Wasteland is that the future Maitreya of the White Lotus Sect suddenly took action against Wei Ancheng of the Blood River Sect.

The future leader of the White Lotus Sect was merciless and did not take action lightly. He even brought his own holy object, the ninth-grade White Jade Lotus Platform, with him to Southern Wasteland, and even participated in the battle against Wei Ancheng.

Unfortunately, it came and went in a hurry. After Wei Ancheng escaped, Maitreya was also lost in the future, leaving only huge doubts to the world.

One of the few people involved who knows the inside story, Taoist Master Lei of Longhu Mountain hides his merit and fame, and is calm and composed, as if he is completely listening to other people's gossip.

"So, is it going to happen in Suzhou too?" Lei Jun looked at the two Taoist priests in front of him and asked with interest.

The two people in front of him were both wearing dark red Taoist robes and dressed as Taoist priests.

One of them looks young and looks to be no more than 20 years old. In fact, he is still less than 30 years old. He is Lei Jun's junior brother Chu Kun.

Next to Chu Kun sat a Taoist priest who looked about thirty years old with facial features, but his hair was already gray and stained by wind and frost.

But it was Chu Andong who was also from the Chu clan in Suzhou, and who started before Lei Jun and Chu Kun.

Earlier, Chu Andong was one of the potential seeds cultivated by Tianshi Mansion.

Although he was a little later than Lei Jun, he successfully passed the teaching process and became a disciple of the teaching method at Longhu Mountain.

It is a pity that things in the world are unpredictable. Later, Chu Andong failed to succeed when he attacked the natural chasm between the realm of the third-level heavenly magic altar and the fourth-level heavenly yuan talisman realm.

The reason why the natural disaster is called the natural disaster is that it is not only difficult, but also extremely dangerous. If you make a wrong step, there will be no chance of recovery.

Fortunately, Chu Andong did not die directly in the disaster and barely managed to save his life.

However, his cultivation was basically destroyed.

That is to say, he was born in a famous family such as the Chu clan in Suzhou, and his apprenticeship was in a Taoist holy place such as Longhu Mountain Tianshi Mansion. Therefore, although Chu Andong is no longer in cultivation, after years of training and strengthening his roots, it seems that he is now normal. People are no different.

He did not return to the Chu clan in Suzhou.

The Longhu Mountain Tianshi Mansion had no intention of driving him away.

The government still retained his status as a disciple and arranged some simple errands for him, so Chu Andong stayed in the mountain.

His lineage can be traced back to Li Song, and he is Li Song's direct disciple.

However, in the earlier battle between Li and Wai, his cultivation had been destroyed and he stayed out of it.

Even if the elders of the Suzhou Chu clan come to help Li Song, Chu Andong is just like Chu Kun, ignoring the matter as it has nothing to do with him.

After the war, Tang Xiaotang ascended to the position of Heavenly Master and did not leave any disciples like Chu Andong behind.

Not to mention that Chu Andong didn't do anything, even most of the other people in the house focused on appeasing them.

Over the past few years, Chu Andong has adapted to his current situation and life.

Earlier, when he looked at Lei Jun, Chu Kun and others in their prime, he would still have a lot of emotion in his heart, but now it has become calm.

"Dakong Temple has withdrawn its troops from Tianlong Temple." Chu Andong said slowly: "Someone from the Chu tribe in Suzhou joined the imperial army and began to clear out the rebels in Dakong Temple."

At first, of course it wasn't like that.

Dakong Temple shows off its power at the doorstep of Tianlong Temple, completely ignoring Tianlong Temple's geographical location and foundation in Suzhou.

It would be hell if there was no secret support from the Suzhou Chu people behind this.

At that time, a considerable part of the energy of the Tang Dynasty imperial family was involved in the Southern Wilderness.

But how can the prosperous place in the south of the Yangtze River be allowed to be ruined by Dakong Temple?

The Tang Dynasty decisively sent troops to support Tianlong Temple.

This reaction was expected by many.

But the leader was beyond almost everyone's expectations.

The general who led the army to help Tianlong Temple to suppress the rebellion was the Crown Prince of Zhao.

Sitting in Youzhou, the old prince, the eldest and one of the top practitioners in the Tang Dynasty imperial family, is the eldest son of King Zhao.

If we say that in the previous one or two hundred years, King Zhao was one of the pillars of the Tang Dynasty. He was stationed in the northern border of the Tang Dynasty, frightening Xiaoxiao and restraining the Youzhou Lin tribe, one of the five surnames and seven Wangs.

So, the current attitude of the old King Zhao is somewhat ambiguous.

Although on the surface, the Zhao Palace and the Youzhou Lin Clan are still tit for tat, anyone with a discerning eye can see that the attitudes of both parties have softened a lot.

There seemed to be some unclear connections between King Zhao and the Ye Clan of Jinzhou and even before the Ye Clan of Qingzhou.

Thinking back to the previous two successions of thrones, especially after the death of the late Emperor Zhang Qilong, King Zhao was once one of the candidates for succession but in the end he missed the throne again. Now the attitude of the old prince is really arousing people's imagination. .

But this time, Prince Zhao went south to quell the rebellion under the orders of the capital center, making the situation confusing again.

"The people over in Suzhou are very surprised." Chu Kun said softly.

He did not shy away from talking about relevant matters in front of Lei Jun.

Everyone is a disciple of Longhu Mountain.

The same goes for Chu Andong.

"I heard that someone from Youzhou went south overnight and rushed to Suzhou, but I'm not sure what they said specifically." Chu Andong said calmly.

His words were unclear, but both Lei Jun and Chu Kun could tell that the people coming from Youzhou meant that the Zhao Palace sent a special envoy to the Chu people in Suzhou.

Naturally, he had to explain to the Chu people for such actions.

Explain what?

Prince Zhao acted without permission, was it not the old prince’s intention?

Then this matter has been discussed.

Why did Prince Zhao want to undermine King Zhao?

To put it more bluntly, if King Zhao can really ascend to Dabao and take over the Tang Dynasty, then the Crown Prince of Zhao will be the new crown prince.

Not to mention what the future holds, just the blessing of mountains and rivers and the fortune of the country, and the cultivation of the emperor's imperial arts are the dreams of all the children of the emperor's family.

unless……

"The conflict between Prince Zhao and Prince Zhao is huge, and there is even the possibility that his father will dethrone him." Lei Jun said: "Although this possibility is extremely low, it is indeed difficult to compare what is happening now. speak."

What Prince Zhao is thinking is currently unknown to the outside world.

However, on behalf of the Imperial Palace in the capital, he led troops south to quell the rebellion, causing the Chu people in Suzhou to murmur.

It was not possible to explore the further depth of the Tang imperial family.

Instead, the Queen played a strange and unconventional chess move that made people unpredictable.

The Chu people in Suzhou were also bachelors. After accepting this situation, they naturally remained loyal to the imperial court and cooperated with the army to suppress the rebellion.

As a result, Dakong Temple was evacuated, and the siege of Tenryu Temple was lifted.

"Our Majesty, the Queen, does things unexpectedly. Even when it comes to poaching corners, she is quite tricky." Lei Jun said with a smile.

Chu Andong: "It's true that you can win with perfect combinations and surprises, but with all due respect, Her Majesty the Queen's current chess moves are mostly based on strange moves and rarely on perfect combinations. Although this often has unexpected results, the gaps on the chessboard are still missing. It's getting smaller and smaller, and in the end we have to decide the outcome head-on..."

Lei Jun and Chu Kun were both thoughtful.

Although Buddhism and Taoism are two sides of the same coin, they sometimes show sympathy for each other. Tianlong Temple was able to escape the siege, and everyone on Longhu Mountain breathed a sigh of relief.

In addition to paying attention to some gossip news from the outside world, Lei Jun continued to study his own practice and magic.

Until, finally, something was about to happen in front of him.

After the Prince of the East Palace left the Shushan Sect, his next stop was the Tianshi Mansion in Longhu Mountain.

Someone has already come to contact us to discuss the schedule and reception.

Although His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is noble, he is not like the Queen after all. The etiquette requires the Heavenly Master to greet him personally.

So all we need is Shangguan Ning to pick it up.

Yuan Mobai went into seclusion and Wang Guiyuan went out. This group of people, Ding Shao, is now headed by Lei Jun and Chu Kun.

Under normal circumstances, when the prince comes up the mountain later in the evening, they would also have to make a show of receiving him together.

Chu Kun hesitated: "Senior brother, although His Highness the Crown Prince has never been interested in political affairs and devoted himself to calligraphy and painting, now that he is out of the capital, he feels a little restless and wants to show the meaning of his existence in front of the world."

Lei Jun: "It's not impossible."

Chu Kun was very aware: "It is best not to get involved in the matter between the emperor and the prince. Should we simply avoid it in advance?"

To be honest, Lei Jun has also considered this aspect.

However, to his expectation, this time, writing appeared on the light ball in his mind, showing this:

[When the prince climbs a mountain, there will be waves inside and outside. Just wait for it to be calm. Good or bad will follow the thunder. 】

[Sign up, during the prince's visit to the mountains, if he stays in the mountains and entertains the visitors, he will have the opportunity to obtain the third grade to expand his opportunities, no risks, no future troubles, good luck! 】

[If you win the lottery, during the prince's visit to the mountains, he will stay in the mountains but avoid contact with the visitors and his entourage. There will be no extra gains and nothing to lose, flat. 】

[Winning the lottery, during the prince's visit to the mountains, he left the mountains for a while and had no extra income. He encountered some storms and waves. There were no dangers, but there were hidden dangers. Be cautious in the future. It's bad luck. 】

It might be a problem to avoid it, but would it be better to stay in the mountain to entertain the prince?
