Seeking good fortune and avoiding misfortune starts from Tianshi Mansion

Chapter 354 353. The foundation of the national master, the understanding of the heavenly master (two chapters in one)

Tang Xiaotang couldn't help but feel very good after hearing what the Queen said that she had no intention of compensating for the Sumeru Vajra Tribe's protection.

Lei Jun is convinced.

It is the next reaction of the Sumeru Vajra Division that arouses people's imagination.

Although the Lord of the Vajra Tribe, Garuda, seems very calm, the Vajra Tribe has also shown great respect to the Tang Dynasty in the past few years.

However, judging from the other party's proactive style in spreading the scriptures, Lei Jun did not think that the Vajra Division would accept all this calmly.

Otherwise, Tang Xiaotang and Her Majesty the Queen would join forces on this big job.

After hearing Tang Xiaotang's first promise, the Queen finally put down her fishing rod, stood up and turned around.

This woman with the most elegant looks in the country moved her eyes between Lei Jun and Tang Xiaotang, and finally landed on Tang Xiaotang. She nodded slightly and said, "Thank you for your hard work, sir."

After Lei Jun and the others left, Queen Zhang Wantong also drove away from the small pavilion in the middle of the lake. Chu Yu followed her, and the others fell behind.

"Your Majesty, it seemed just now..." Chu Yu said with some uncertainty.

The Queen knew what she wanted to say: "Shu Yin, your feeling is correct. Tang Xiaotang is eager to try. He wants to compete with me and weigh me."

Although it confirmed his previous feeling that seemed to be nothing, Chu Yu couldn't help being speechless, and after a moment he laughed: "She!"

The Queen strolled along: "No surprise."

Chu Yu smiled: "I heard that she has always wanted to compete with Master Xu. I wonder if she got her wish? After both of them reached the ninth level of cultivation, they may have had a formal competition."

What Tang Xiaotang said about "discussing" and "weighing" is indeed the literal meaning, and there is no need to extend it.

She is competitive and has a high level of ambition. Not only people of high level can arouse her interest, but only certain few people.

In similar situations, she is often not hostile.

"At least for now, that's not the case with Tang." The Queen said calmly.

Chu Yu chuckled: "Zhenren Xu is very good at killing people. If you can't beat her in the first fight, it will become more and more difficult in the future."

She looked at the Queen: "This aspect is similar to your Majesty's."

Queen: "The results are similar, but the inside is different."

Chu Yu smiled and nodded.

She remembered something, and then asked softly: "Your Majesty, where is Master Lei Tian?"

Queen: "The face is like a flat lake, and the chest is thunderous... It is true that things under the water cannot be seen clearly, but what floats on the water is not all disguise, and some of the true temperament can be seen."

Chu Yu thought thoughtfully: "So, he is indeed not pushing Zhenren Tang to be a puppet in front of the stage, or considering the relationship between the two parties and intending to give in, but he himself has no intention of becoming a national master."

Queen: "He and Xu Yuanzhen have many differences, but they also have some similarities."

Chu Yu nodded slightly.

………………

The heads of major holy places came to Luoyang, the imperial capital, to pay homage to the Holy Spirit, which aroused widespread concern.

Not only people from the Buddhist and Taoist sects were concerned, but also the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty and various places were also concerned.

Shangshu's right servant shot Guo Yuan and went to Fang Hezhou's house as a guest.

When the court servants came to Shangguan Qing's house, they also welcomed guests.

Lu Zhen, an important general of the Shence Army.

"It's Zhenren Tang, not Master Lei Tian." Lu Zhen sighed with emotion.

Shangguan Qing said: "Actually, it's not completely unexpected."

Not long after the Celestial Master passed the throne, Lei Jun became the Celestial Master and took charge of the Celestial Master's Mansion in Longhu Mountain and the Taoist Fulu Sect.

As a national advisor, most of your energy will be focused on the imperial court. Not only will you spend a considerable part of the year in Luoyang, accompanying the Emperor, but you will also find time to travel around the world.

Tang Xiaotang, who has resigned from the position of Heavenly Master, does not have this problem.

Although, with her temperament, she may not be able to sit down in Luoyang.

"Master Lei Tian is still at the eighth level of cultivation, while Tang Zhenren is at the ninth level of Mahayana."

Shangguan Qing said: "Based on personal merit, Tang Zhenren deserves the honor."

Lu Zhen said slowly: "Yes... Qianye Butterfly King, Wei Ancheng, Kang'an Taoist, Changtian Canglang, just don't count them. If you count carefully, there are already four."

This does not include people or demons at levels below the Nine Heavens.

If the most valuable Huang Xuanpu were not missing, it can be said that Tang Xiaotang is the undisputed number one contributor.

Except for the period before and after the founding of the Tang Dynasty, there was no worse report card than this in the Taiping years.

It is indeed worthy of the title of the true protector of demons and demons in the sky.

Such a Taoist Mahayana high-spirited and canonized Dharma protector has no one who disagrees with him in terms of his merits.

The possible controversy lies more in the fact that this former Heavenly Master was a bit...inward in his conduct.

I remember that after the demon rebellion in Guanlong, just after repelling the demons, this Tang Zhenren beat Master Sangjie, who had joined hands to fight against the demons just a moment ago.

Such a figure became the national master who led the Buddhist and Taoist sects of the Tang Dynasty and assisted the sects in the world. It really made people sweat after hearing the news.

"I can only hope that Master Lei Tian and Master Yuan can help and advise Master Tang." Shangguan Qing said.

Lu Zhen sighed: "If Master Lei Tian can always be there to help, then there will be no need for the National Master..."

He paused and continued: "However, this is not a bad idea."

Shangguan Qing: "Well, the Imperial Master is granted the title of Tianshi Mansion, and the Taoist Talisman Sect is about to flourish, but the specifics will depend on what happens next."

Whether Tang Xiaotang, Lei Jun, or Xu Yuanzhen become the Imperial Master of the Tang Dynasty, it means that the Longhu Mountain Tianshi Mansion will be further recognized and supported by the Tang imperial family.

Depending on the situation, the Taoist Fulu sect may become the state religion.

Even if it does not reach that step, it is certain that the influence of the Longhu Mountain Tianshi Mansion will be further expanded and deepened.

From this perspective, there was a lot of controversy when the important officials of the imperial court discussed this matter.

It is true that the Longhu Mountain Tianshi Mansion has made great contributions to the country, but they are constantly expanding.

At this time, the Tang Dynasty imperial family gave a boost...

"Next, pay closer attention to the Sumeru Vajra Division." Shangguan Qing said.

Lu Zhen: "Don't worry, the general is in Guanzhong. I will also arrange for others to go to the northwest."

Shangguan Qing nodded lightly.

After Lu Zhen hesitated for a moment, he said, "Strong branches and weak trunks are gradually showing up, what can I do?"

Shangguan Qing was speechless upon hearing this.

The Zhangtang royal family, including the Shangguan, Lu and other martial arts families surrounding the imperial family, together formed the basic base of the Tang imperial family.

It is said that the famous family has five surnames and seven hopes.

But in terms of a single surname, the Zhangtang royal family is now the most powerful family in the Tang Dynasty.

Even in these troubled times, the royal family is still the group with the most masters in the past three days.

Even excluding Zhang Dongyuan, Zhang Jingzhen and other people who have inherited the Holy Land, and only counting civil and military personnel, the Zhangtang royal family still has the absolute highest number of eighth-level masters in the world.

The problem lies in the higher realm of Nine Heavens.

The spiritual energy of heaven and earth surges, which is conducive to the cultivation of monks. At the same time, the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths return to the human world. It is also discovered that there are other human worlds besides the Tang Dynasty. More masters of the Nine Heavens have emerged than before.

Under this situation, the center of the Tang imperial family lacked the Ninth Heaven giants other than the Tang Emperor for one reason or another.

With great difficulty, King Zhao Zhang Teng succeeded in taking a step further and became a martial saint, but he had ulterior motives.

Perhaps, this is the inevitable result of being born in an imperial family.

Regardless of the reasons, the result is that the current Tang imperial family lacks important officials who can take charge of their own affairs without worrying about loyalty issues.

After all, the Queen has a special status and should not be released lightly.

"I can't wait and share the worries of the imperial court." Lu Zhen lamented: "The origins of the rise of the Tianshi Mansion in Longhu Mountain and the previous advancement of the Xumi Vajra Division are actually here."

He looked at Shangguan Qing and said, "General, in recent years, has he shown any intention of practicing retreat?"

Shangguan Qing shook his head and said calmly: "It will be very difficult in the past few years."

Lu Zhen sighed again.

He himself was actually in the same situation as Shangguan Yunbo and even Shangguan Qing in front of him.

They have all passed the window period before the age of 200 and entered the plateau period.

Continue to make breakthroughs upward, not to say there is no hope, but it is far from as smooth as young people.

Especially in the natural chasm disaster between big realms, if you are not careful, you will die directly.

What left Shangguan Qing and Lu Zhen speechless was that the Zhangtang royal family and even the Shangguan clan, those who were most likely to catch up with this wave of heaven and earth surges in recent decades and hit the realm of the Nine Heavens, fell early in the demonic chaos in the Western Regions that year. .

That battle was the heaviest loss for the center of the Tang imperial family in the past few hundred years.

In addition to the late emperor Zhang Qilong being seriously injured, the old leader of the Shangguan clan also died.

At the same time, many experts from the Tang Dynasty imperial family were among the victims.

One of them was a Mesozoic leader of the Shangguan clan who was even better than Shangguan Yunbo, but he also died in the Western Regions.

If he is still alive, in thirty or forty years, he will most likely have reached the level of a Heavenly Martial Saint at the ninth level of martial arts.

The empress, Zhang Wantong, became a blockbuster. With her talent and talents, even without the emperor's imperial skills to bless the country's destiny, she could still achieve the realm of Confucian nine-level balance, but it would be a little late at best.

By then, the number of top masters in the clan will be considerable.

Because of the strong center, King Zhao Zhang Teng will still be the old prince who guards the northern border of the dynasty and is loyal through the ages.

Shangguan Yunbo doesn't need to run around and suffer major and minor injuries. If he calms down and recuperates, his situation will probably be much better than it is now.

However, things are unpredictable.

One step away, decades later, the world is completely different.

Discussing the masters of the Eighth Heaven Realm who are currently rising in the Tang Dynasty imperial family, they are probably... Xiao Xueting, Chu Yu, and Shen Qubing.

No one is from the clan, and no one is from the founding nobles.

Xiao Xueting and Chu Yu both had extraordinary family backgrounds, but no matter from which angle they looked at it, it was not the case.

"The late emperor...hey!" Lu Zhen shook his head gently.

Looking back now, the late Emperor Zhang Qilong acted out of caution, impatience and lack of caution.

"The late emperor did not go to Longwai in person, so the outcome of the battle in the Western Regions might have been different."

Shangguan Qing was calmer: "But everything that happens in the next few decades may also change. How it will turn out now, whether it will be better or worse, no one can predict."

He exclaimed: "The Pseudo-Ming Dynasty, the Pseudo-Song Dynasty and other dynasties were in this world. Maybe it was the end of the Han Dynasty when time and space were special, and different people made different choices."

Lu Zhen took a deep breath: "Yes, I am too entangled in the past."

He raised his head and looked at Shangguan Qing: "It's time to face the present. The branches are strong and the trunk is weak. Although your Majesty is in the prime of the Spring and Autumn Period and can sit on the throne for many years, the foundation of our country, the Tang Dynasty..."

Upon hearing this, Shangguan Qing looked towards the East Palace although he was inside the house.

………………

The Crown Prince of the Tang Dynasty is currently not in the East Palace.

Situations like this are a big deal.

But it also depends on where he goes.

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince of the Tang Dynasty is currently visiting the Celestial Master of Longhu Mountain.

When the Heavenly Master passed on the throne, Prince Zhang Hui was unable to leave Beijing to watch the ceremony in person at Longhu Mountain due to various reasons, which he has always regretted.

Now that the Heavenly Master has entered Luoyang, the imperial capital, he naturally goes to visit.

Lei Jun is not staying at Baiyun Temple now, but he, Zhang Taigang, Abbot Miaoxin and other leaders of various sects are staying in a building specially arranged by the imperial court.

At this moment, the sound of the piano came from the courtyard where Lei Jun lived, and the lingering sound lingered.

Lei Jun was sitting on the main seat, calmly looking at Prince Zhang Hui playing the piano.

After the other party stopped, he spoke: "His Royal Highness's musical attainments are even better than those of everyone in Suzhou, which is admirable."

There were no attendants present, so Zhang Hui put away the guqin himself and said with a smile: "I am good but not good, which makes the Heavenly Master laugh."

Compared with pen and ink paintings, his musical skills can only be called average.

But that's because his paintings are so good.

The Ye Clan in Qingzhou is famous for his paintings, and few people can surpass him now.

The other two audience members on the side also applauded: "Your Highness is too modest."

Zhang Hui said with a smile: "Qingyan might even comfort me, but I will take Mr. Yongshan's compliments seriously."

Opposite him, Mr. Yongshan Fang Yue said calmly but seriously: "Your Highness has achieved considerable attainments in the art of music."

Meng Shaojie on the side smiled: "Your Highness, what the student just said also comes from the heart."

Zhang Hui smiled and said: "In front of the Heavenly Master, Mr. Yongshan is a great expert. Qingyan should not praise me anymore."

Fang Yue: "You don't dare to accept it, but on that day, Fang was unable to go to the Longhu Mountain Passage Ceremony to congratulate him due to some matters. I am going to pay a visit to the Heavenly Master today, so I can perform a song to express my feelings."

Lei Jun: "Master Fang is too polite. I really don't dare to take it seriously. I'm just looking for a blessing today, so I'd like to thank you first."

Fang Yue: "How dare you."

While speaking, he took out an ordinary-looking bamboo flute.

Prince Zhang Hui put his hands on his hands and said with a smile: "I gave it a try, and it's done."

Fang Yue nodded to Lei Jun, Zhang Hui, and Meng Shaojie, and then played the bamboo flute.

He is an eighth-level Confucian who has reached the trance state of Confucian chanting.

At this moment, there is no need to specifically arouse the spiritual energy of the surrounding heaven and earth. A wonderful scene is created in front of Lei Jun and others. The surrounding scene changes, and everyone feels like they are among the green mountains and clear water.

When Fang Yue stops, the lingering sound lingers, literally lingering around the beams, and the beautiful scenery of mountains and rivers lasts for a long time, making people feel like they are in a fairyland.

"I haven't been moving for a long time. Fortunately, I'm not unfamiliar and won't make anyone laugh." Fang Yue put away his bamboo flute.

In recent years, he has been busy with school affairs and rarely plays musical instruments.

But with his current level of cultivation, everything is close to the Tao, and he can still pick it up easily after a long time, and he will not be unfamiliar with it.

"There are more and more schools in various places, and layman Fang is very dedicated and hardworking, which is admirable." Lei Jun said.

In the past few years, as the three academic palaces in Luoyang, Chang'an and Jianye gradually got on the right track, Fang Yue followed the empress's edict and began to establish the fourth and even more academic palaces in the future.

"There are more and more accomplished people in the academy, and I have actually become more relaxed in recent years." Fang Yue nodded to Meng Shaojie.

The other party is already one of the signature figures of the Academy today.

Just three years ago, Meng Shaojie successfully reached the seventh heaven realm.

This is the first three-day scholar trained by the Tang Academy.

As of today, Meng Shaojie is only forty-six years old, not yet fifty, and has a bright future.

This was despite his previous years of wasted practice.

But as soon as he became enlightened and accumulated a lot of knowledge, he soon soared into the sky.

What makes Xiao Chunhui and Fang Yue even more gratified is that besides Meng Shaojie, other newcomers in the academy are gradually starting to become talented.

"Ling Hui and Song Hang, although they are still in the third level of cultivation, they both have great potential." Fang Yue said seriously.

Lei Jun: "Thanks to your majesty and the laymen Xiao and Fang who have worked hard for many years, we have achieved this state of affairs."

Prince Zhang Hui also expressed emotion: "Looking back at the past years when I listened to the lectures of gentlemen in the academy, it feels like it was yesterday. Today, the academy continues to grow, which is really gratifying."

Fang Yue looked at Lei Jun: "The academy intends to build a new palace in the Xiaoxiang Yuelu area. Wangtianshi and Longhushan should not mind."

Lei Jun: "I am happy to see its success, so there is no harm in setting it up in Yuzhang."

Fang Yue: "His Royal Highness the King of Xiang's hospitality is hard to deny. If the culture of Xiaoxiang prevails, then Nanhuang, Qianzhou and other places will benefit. It would be even better if we can get Tianshi and Longhu Mountain Zhouquan."

Everyone chatted for a few more words, and Lei Jun looked at Meng Shaojie: "I heard that Mr. Meng intends to leave Beijing for a trip?"

Meng Shaojie: "While reading thousands of books, you should also travel thousands of miles. Therefore, students intend to travel around the world and conduct field research on inscriptions, classics and documents to increase their knowledge."

He achieved the seventh level of heaven, opened up a new world, browsed a large number of historical books and summarized and repaired them. In addition to the large collection of books provided by Xiao Chunhui and Xuegong, there were also a large number of books and documents provided by Prince Zhang Hui and Fang Yue.

Therefore, I have been studying behind closed doors for many years, and my accumulation is still increasing day by day.

However, as his cultivation deepened, Meng Shaojie's path of cultivation also began to expand.

"I really envy Qingyan." Zhang Hui looked at Meng Shaojie and sighed with a smile.

Meng Shaojie: "Students are going out this time to pay more attention to the paintings and music scores of previous generations for Your Highness. I hope to gain something and bring it back to Your Highness."

Zhang Hui smiled and said: "That would be great. I'll wait for your good news."

Later, the three of them left one after another.

After Lei Jun saw them off, he quietly did his evening classes.

During his stay in Luoyang, he had an endless stream of customers every day.

Lei Jun mostly received them normally.

When I met Meng Shaojie and other familiar people, I would chat more.

However, similar people are limited.

Shen Qubing happened to be separated from him, and was currently heading to the Guanlong area in the northwest, listening to the orders of General Shangguan Yunbo, to wipe out the remnants of the Lone Eagle Khanate's invasion.

Xiao Xueting is currently practicing in seclusion.

Chu Yu once came to visit.

As a royal celebrity, her every move attracts much attention.

But it's no big deal for now.

The imperial court finally announced that the former Heavenly Master Tang Zhenren would be canonized as the Protector of the Tang Dynasty.

The matter is no small matter, and all aspects of the ceremony and rituals need to be prepared in advance. Therefore, the specific time of the canonization ceremony is set on the first day of the first lunar month of the new year in a few months to celebrate with the country.

Chu Yu came to discuss the detailed schedule and arrangements with Lei Jun and Tang Xiaotang.

After a general agreement, Lei Jun and Tang Xiaotang returned to the ancestral court of Longhu Mountain together.

Tang Xiaotang didn't have many personal belongings that he needed to use.

However, according to the etiquette and etiquette, she will first pay homage to the nature of heaven and earth and the ancestors of all generations at the ancestral court of the Tianshi Mansion in Longhu Mountain before the New Year, and then officially enter the imperial capital Luoyang to participate in the canonization ceremony on the New Year.

As a heavenly master, Lei Jun will preside over the memorial ceremony for her at Longhu Mountain.

The news spread back to the Tianshi Mansion in Longhu Mountain, and everyone in the manor was full of glory.

The appointment of the National Master to the Tianshi Mansion means that the inheritance of the Taoist Fulu Sect will further flourish in the future.

At least the official attitude of the Tang Dynasty imperial family was more closely related to the Tianshi Mansion in Longhu Mountain.

"Senior brother, do you have something to say?" Lei Jun asked after returning to the mountain and seeing Wang Guiyuan greeting him.

Wang Guiyuan glanced at Tang Xiaotang, who had a cheerful face, and shook his head: "No, no."

Tang Xiaotang chuckled: "That's right, don't say anything that is disappointing."

Yuan Mobai on the side smiled and said: "Everyone has his own destiny. It is not bad to be as brave and diligent as Master Xiaotang's nephew, but it is difficult for others to imitate."

Lei Jun nodded lightly.

Tang Xiaotang is indeed brave and diligent.

The past few years of fighting abroad have not delayed her own cultivation.

Earlier, he was searching for traces of the Changtian Canglang in northern Xinjiang. Before he could block the opponent, Tang Xiaotang was so moved that he meditated for a period of time. His cultivation level even reached a higher level, and he successfully reached the second level of the Nine Heavens of the Taoist Fulu Sect. Realm, practice the three qi of alchemy, and achieve the three rays of light.

"The biggest gain is this thing."

Tang Xiaotang was in high spirits, holding a ball of golden light on the top of his palm. Surrounded by the hot golden light of the sun, what was confined within it was a pale air ball that looked dull and dull.

The air mass contains profound spirituality, but at this moment it is all restrained and not exposed to the outside. Only a trace of pure and pure innate Yin energy circulates.

Surrounded by Tang Xiaotang's pure Yang magic power, the trace of Yin energy was not suppressed or destroyed, but instead blended harmoniously with the masculine golden light.

It was Chu Yin Juepo who was discovered by Chang Tian Cang Lang and built a secret lair to look after Yunsheng.

Tang Xiaotang chased the Changtian Canglang and discovered the spiritual object after destroying the lair. She continued to hunt down the Changtian Canglang. After that, Lei Jun went to the northern Xinjiang to warm and raise it, then collected it and handed it over to Tang Xiaotang.

"How far does it have to be for Junior Master Xiaotang to achieve Taichu Taoism?" Yuan Mobai asked.

Tang Xiaotang waved his hand.

Four golden light groups lined up in mid-air.

In addition to the light group that contains Chu Yin Jue Po, the other three also have their own things inside.

The Chuyang jade medal that Lei Jun brought back was now suspended next to Chuyin Juepo.

Then, among the other two light groups, one seems to contain a tangible, intangible and completely transparent spirit, and the other seems to contain a substance, intangible and unpredictable air ball.

"Innate Taixu Essence and Wufang Qi. These are the spiritual objects I obtained earlier, and they also laid the foundation for my immortal body to sublime into a Tao body."

Tang Xiaotang smiled and looked at Lei Jun and Xu Yuanzhen: "So I say, my luck is not particularly bad."

She pointed at Chuyang Yuzhang and Chuyin Juepo again: "After adding these two spiritual objects, success is in sight. I only need the last few. I have already counted them."

Tang Xiaotang's eyes seemed to be filled with pure golden thunder and fire: "There is still a spiritual object called the Void-breaking Returning Stone."

The others nodded slightly: "Well, let's pay attention next time."

"Lei Jun, what about you?" Tang Xiaotang touched his palm, and four light groups disappeared in mid-air.

Lei Junze replied: "The Heavenly Palace, Chapters and Tables are unified, and the wonderful realm is revealed. Based on this, we can further communicate with the world and nature, and the up and down circulation of heaven and earth can serve as a path. It is hoped that acquired tranquility will be transformed into natural understanding, and we will further interact with heaven and earth." nature.

Previously, we already had the spiritual object Jiuquansheng Lingjue, a spiritual object that falls in the blue sky above the underworld. Next, we need a spiritual object that falls in the blue under the underworld.

Similar treasures are difficult to find, and they don't just need to be found. They need to be paired spiritual objects like the Jiuquan Shengling Jue. Only in this way can they be linked up and down, connecting the universe and the underworld, and communicating with the nature of heaven and earth. "

Tang Xiaotang's eyes rolled: "So, it is also possible to land in Huangquan among the ten places, or Biluo in the nine heavens?"

Lei Jun: "It's not appropriate to make any conclusions at the moment, just let it happen."

People's relationships are different.

Although Xu Yuanzhen also raised his understanding to a natural level the day after tomorrow, his circumstances were different from those of Lei Junjie.

Therefore, it has no reference value at present.

What's more, all the opportunities she had in the first place did not come back for many years.

Just as Lei Jun's current walking distance can only be used by one person.

The wonderful realm created by the combination of the upper and lower columns of the Tiangong Chapter is used to enhance people's understanding. There is only one chance.

Since Lei Jun got Jiuquan Sheng Lingjue first, Tang Xiaotang simply stopped thinking about it.

She then asked curiously: "By the way, Lei Jun, have you made any progress in your Tai Chi Dao Body?"

Lei Jun: "Not yet, wait for the right time."

Tang Xiaotang asked Xu Yuanzhen beside her: "Senior sister..."

Xu Yuanzhen knew that the other party wanted to ask her if she had any hope of achieving the immortal body: "Maybe tomorrow, maybe in a few years."

Lei Jun was thoughtful after hearing this.

"I'll go back to the Wanfa Sect first." Xu Yuanzhen stood up and waved his hand casually.

During Tang Xiaotang's trip to the northern border, he was most concerned about Chu Yin Jue Po.

Xu Yuanzhen was more interested in the former residence of Huang Xuanpu she found. The things she brought back from there, after careful study, there would be new discoveries.

Lei Jun looked at Tang Xiaotang: "Junior sister was conferred the title of national teacher, and will stay in Luoyang, the imperial capital..."

He had just said half of the words when he saw Tang Xiaotang's eyes wandering across from him.

Lei Jun seemed to be unaware and continued: "Although our sect does not force expansion, we must take corresponding measures to cooperate with the junior sister in managing the four sects. My idea is to establish a branch in Luoyang, the imperial capital, and send suitable personnel to assist the junior sister. A high-level elder will be directly selected to lead the team. Does the junior sister have a suitable candidate?"

"That's a good idea!"

Tang Xiaotang's eyes lit up: "Candidate? I don't care who it is."

As long as she can deal with the court during her absence from Beijing.

Lei Jun: "In this case, Senior Brother Lin and Senior Sister Zhang are familiar with people in Luoyang, so let's ask them first."

Comparatively speaking, Lin Shan's attitude is less positive than Zhang Jingzhen.

He previously taught in the academy and lived in Luoyang, the imperial capital for many years.

After that, he returned to the mountain because of his retreat to break through the three-day cultivation.

Now that he has achieved a high level of Taoist cultivation, it is another scene.

So in the end, the Tianshi Mansion of Longhu Mountain chose Lin Shan to go to Beijing with Tang Xiaotang, and to assist Tang Xiaotang in handling various matters in the position of the National Master in Luoyang, the imperial capital.

In addition to Lin Shan, Longhu Mountain will also have other ordained elders and ordained disciples go together to help Tang Xiaotang set up the frame in front of the seat of the Protector of the Country.

"Sister was conferred the title of National Master, and she is responsible for the affairs of the sects in the world. It is not the responsibility of one family, one surname, one sect, or one faction."

Lei Jun told Lin Shan: "In addition to the disciples of my Tianshi Mansion, all major holy places in the world will send people to assist, so as to build peace for the world."

During his previous stay in Luoyang, he had received and sent off people, and had communicated a lot with the helmsmen of the major holy places who also went to Beijing on this matter, and basically reached a tacit understanding.

Not only the two branches of Taoism, Chunyang and Shushan, but also the major holy places of Buddhism, have also communicated, and each family will send people over.

Lin Shan: "Master, you have taken good care of everything."

After the other party left, Wang Guiyuan sat beside Lei Jun and asked thoughtfully: "Did you talk to the Xumi Vajra Division?"

Lei Jun: "Yes, with Garudao himself."

The leader of the Vajra Division looked solemn and dignified, and he and Lei Tianshi looked like they had met too late.

In his words, he expressed his blessing for the position of the national master to fall into the Tianshi Mansion, and looked forward to more exchanges between the two sides.

However, the meeting between the Buddha and the Tao was more of a polite exchange, without a deep conversation.

The leader of the Vajra Division, Garudao, was more of a statement, as if he represented the Xumi Vajra Division to bow to the Longhu Mountain Tianshi Mansion.

Wang Guiyuan: "When he went from the Western Regions to Bashu, he passed through the snow-capped mountains in western Sichuan. It seemed to be on the way, but I felt that he was going for you at that time."

Lei Jun: "It may not be that he wanted to convert me at that time. After all, there was the matter of Lishu Mountain in front of him. He should have wanted to find out my details at that time to decide the next step."

It's just that the battle between Bashu and Nanzhao was not as expected by the Vajra Department, so there was no more.

This time when the Tang Dynasty conferred the title of the National Master, the Vajra Department was extremely humble and peaceful.

But Lei Jun didn't think that the other party was really so calm from early to now.

The other party didn't tear his face at the moment, maybe he had other plans.

Lei Jun was calm. In addition to being wary of and paying attention to the movements of the Western Regions Buddhism, he focused on improving himself and his own Longhu Mountain Tianshi Mansion, and at the same time preparing for the conferment ceremony around the New Year.

Time passed, Lei Jun spent his 65th birthday, summer went to autumn, and then soon entered winter.

Longhu Mountain was ready for the upcoming ceremony.

"There is no new movement in the Western Regions for the time being." Yuan Mobai said, "There is a happy event in the imperial capital Luoyang recently." The crown prince of the Tang Dynasty, Prince Zhang Hui, successfully reached a higher level after the beginning of winter this year and reached the eighth level. "It's time to calculate the time." Yuan Mobai and Lei Jun were not surprised by this. During Zhang Hui's second tour, he was affected by the internal struggle of the White Lotus Sect in Tiangu Ridge. The real core target of that battle was not Zhang Hui. But he still revealed some of his own details. A stroke of genius, one of the most suitable talents for Confucian practice, equivalent to the immortal body of Taoist practitioners. Once this secret came out, Zhang Hui's slow practice was a bit unreasonable. It happened that after the crown prince became an adult, he was worried about the turmoil in the Tang Dynasty and began to study hard. It was reasonable for his cultivation to improve faster in the future. He is 47 years old this year and has entered the eighth level of the sky, which is rare in the world. Because the emperor's art of ruling the country gathers the luck of the mountains and rivers, he doesn't look as outstanding as his aunt Zhang Wantong, but he can still be considered good.

In recent years, the reputation of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has begun to be more and more prominent in the territory of the Tang Dynasty.

Especially in Qingzhou, Suzhou, Jingxiang and other places.

"It's a troubled time." Yuan Mobai smiled.

Lei Jun also smiled and said, "We just follow the will of heaven and the people."

In December, representatives from the Tang imperial family arrived at Longhu Mountain.

Then Heavenly Master Lei Jun personally opened the Ten Thousand Fa Sect Altar and presided over the ceremony for Tang Xiaotang as the starting point for accepting the canonization.

After Tang Xiaotang went to the Wanfa Zongtan and the forbidden area of ​​Houshan Ancestral Tomb to offer sacrifices to heaven and earth and the ancestors of all generations, he set off for Luoyang, the imperial capital, together with the representatives of the imperial court.

Lei Tianshi entrusted his master Yuan Mobai to preside over the next New Year Ceremony at Longhu Mountain. After arranging everything, he, Lin Shan and others left the mountain with Tang Xiaotang and spent this New Year in Luoyang, the imperial capital.

The group of people stopped and walked, paying homage to the mountains and rivers of Datang along the way, and headed towards Luoyang without haste or speed.

The matter of canonizing the Imperial Master has been announced to the world.

This New Year, both inside and outside the imperial capital of Luoyang are more festive than in previous years.

Emperor Zhang Wantong of the Tang Dynasty personally presided over the ceremony and enjoyed it with the people.

On New Year's Day, during the second half of the ceremony, Tang Xiaotang arrived in Beijing to accept the canonization and was completing the final celebration.

After the New Year, she will go out of Beijing to travel around the mountains and rivers according to her itinerary. After paying homage, she will officially return to Luoyang to stay permanently.

Lei Jun no longer needs to be accompanied in the second half of the journey. After the New Year's ceremony in Luoyang, he will return to the ancestral court of Longhu Mountain.

In Luoyang's great ceremony, in addition to Lei Jun, Lin Shan and other Longhushan disciples who attended the ceremony, there were also representatives from Shushan Sect, Chunyang Palace and even Tianlong Temple, Bodhi Temple and other Buddhist and Taoist holy places in the world to express their congratulations.

The Shushan sect is Xie Yiying, a newly promoted high-gong elder who had previously sought advice from Tang Xiaotang’s Chunyang method.

In Chunyang Palace, there is a mature and prudent elder of the Seventh Heaven.

The representative of Tianlong Temple is monk Faming, whom Lei Jun has dealt with.

The representative of Xuantian Temple, Master Kongjing, is also an old man. Due to the previous civil strife in this Buddhist holy land, the new generation of masters is currently seriously lacking.

A seventh-level monk from Vajra Temple is a new face.

The representative of Bodhi Temple is the only middle three-day monk, and they can’t blame them for this. Except for the new abbot Ruyuan, they currently have no other upper three-day monks, but there is news that other newcomers have emerged in the Bodhi Temple lineage.

Representatives of the major sects' holy places met outside the city of Luoyang, and then entered Luoyang with Tang Xiaotang. Later, these people would represent their respective sects and stationed in Luoyang to cooperate with the Tang imperial family and Tang Xiaotang.

On the day of the ceremony, the sky was filled with splendor inside and outside Luoyang, and the heaven and earth seemed to be vibrating with it. However, this did not frighten the people. Instead, the festive atmosphere seemed to match it, celebrating the Tang Dynasty.

This is a vision caused by the fate of mountains and rivers... Lei Jun knew it in his heart.

Looking from a distance, in addition to the Queen's beauty that seems to echo the beauty of heaven and earth, and the brilliance of all directions, the new Imperial Master Tang Xiaotang also seems to have added a bit of aura.

Tang Xiaotang still wears a purple Taoist robe, but this time it is specially made. It is based on the original Tianshi Mansion high-gong Taoist robe, blessed with gold patterns, with pine and crane patterns on the left and right breasts and sleeves, and behind the back are dragons and phoenixes singing in harmony, embracing the Yin and Yang Tai Chi diagram, looking from a distance Like a purple gold Taoist robe.

Under the splendid earth energy, her already tall figure became more and more like a person in a fairyland.

The Tang Dynasty, which has suffered from internal and external troubles in recent years, at least at this moment, at least in Luoyang City, is full of colorful practices and prosperous times.

In the distant sky outside Luoyang City, there is a black thundercloud hanging in the mid-air, like a frozen glacier hanging in the sky.

Xu Yuanzhen, wearing a purple Taoist robe and a black cloak, looked at Luoyang City in the distance calmly:

"vanity."

Lei Jun was not here, but his voice sounded in the air: "Sister, are you ready to leave?"

Xu Yuanzhen: "The ceremony has been completed, and Xiaotang has already sat where she wants to sit. There is no need to watch the complicated things that follow."

Lei Jun: "I wish senior sister a successful trip to Penglai."

Xu Yuanzhen said "hmm".

The thunderclouds that seemed to be frozen in the sky moved, carrying Xu Yuanzhen eastward, all the way to overseas.
