Seeking Good Fortune and Avoiding Misfortune Starts From Tianshi Mansion Chapter 186

Chapter 186 185. Rewarding merit

The ceremony for the succession of the Heavenly Master spread widely throughout the world, and many guests were invited to attend with great fanfare.

 Chuanyang Palace and Shushan, which are both Taoist holy places, both have guests.

"Friend He, long time no see." Lu Jinduan, the elder of Chunyang Palace, greeted He Dongxing, the elder of Shushan.

He Dongxing smiled and said, "Brother Lu Dao, you are fine. How about your brother Huang Dao?"

Lu Jinduan: "After the First World War in the Western Regions, the head brother was seriously injured and has been resting. Although he has improved slightly recently, he still cannot be ignored.

If this were not the case, today's grand event in the Tianshi Mansion, the head brother would definitely come in person, but now I have to do it for me. "

He Dongxing nodded: "Brother Huang Dao is the mainstay of our Taoist sect, so you must take care of yourself."

The smile on his face faded and he became serious: "Bashu has been a little uneasy recently, so we have to be cautious... Fellow Daoist Lei, have you heard of King Shengkang?"

Just for this one thing, he firmly secured his position as the top three-day monk in last winter's war.

The ceremony will last until the evening. After the ceremony, the new Heavenly Master Tang Xiaotang will go to the forbidden area of ​​Houshan Ancestral Tomb.

 Ye Dongming.

The thirty-three-year-old elder of Tianshi Mansion. Regardless of Tang Xiaotang's special situation, only Xu Yuanzhen of his generation was younger when he first took office.

From a historical perspective, Lei Jun is not the youngest elder in Longhu Mountain, but from a current perspective, there is no doubt that he is.

Lei Jun nodded slightly, thoughtfully.

 In the past six months, she has often soaked in the Shangqing Lei Mansion Cave. On the one hand, it is convenient for her to practice, and on the other hand, she is responsible for coordinating the early restoration of the cave.

Of course, in contrast, the Shushan sect is also becoming more and more influenced by the outside world.

Lei Jun: "I don't know much about it. I have only read a few written records in the master's classics, but they are close to unofficial legends."

Tang Xiaotang's opportunity to "retaliate" just slipped through his fingers.

Lü Jinduan is not worried about Yue Xiling.

But there may be dangers and accidents for the monks in Zhongsantian, so Lei Jun has not been there yet.

Ji Chuan: "Well, I would like to thank you in advance."

 The ball of light in his mind did not flicker. I wonder if there is any opportunity here... Lei Jun was just thinking about it, when suddenly his heart moved slightly.

This time, Tang Xiaotang went in with him.

 The arrival is slightly unexpected, but seems to be reasonable.

 Based on the age of ordinary mortals, two generations is more than enough.

It's just that they don't care about it, but others do, so they pay attention to them from time to time.

Ye Dongming also smiled: "It is really gratifying and congratulatory for our Taoist sect to have a proud man from heaven."

As the leader of the younger generation of Chunyang Palace, Yue Xiling has its own merits.

Lei Jun took a breath while walking.

Now that the Shangqing Lei Mansion Cave is finally more stable, he will go to the Cave first before talking.

Lei Jun: "In such a hurry?"

This sacred place for the Zen martial arts lineage of Buddhism is close to the de facto annihilation of the sect.

It's just that this time she is not representing the Chu people in Suzhou, but as a representative of the Tang Dynasty imperial family.

 In previous years, Shangguan Ning was usually responsible for the reception of the Tang Dynasty imperial family by Tianshi Mansion.

This so-called reminiscing about the past is obviously not done with good intentions.

Outside of Bashu, there have been constant turmoils in the Tang Dynasty in recent years, which also affected Shushan to a certain extent.

He Dongxing glanced at Yue Xiling.

This year Shangguan Ning wanted to downplay the relevant colors, so Yuan Mobai received Chu Yu, and Chu Kun accompanied him at the same time.

Materials and talents from all over the world continue to enter Shu, and Bashu products continue to circulate to all directions.

Yue Xiling's views on Tang Xiaotang were actually similar to Lu Jinduan's. They were more regretful that Tang Xiaotang, a talented person who could be said to be a perfect match for Chunyang Palace, had no chance of being with Chunyang Palace and instead fell into the gate of Tianshi Mansion.

"The Heavenly Master has given instructions, and I would like to ask Master Chu Zhai to stay a little longer to reminisce with you," Lei Jun said.

“Fellow Taoist Lei, congratulations.” He smiled and handed a miniature bag to Lei Jun: “A little Bashu specialty, it's funny.”

 It is customary for people to refer to him as King Shengkang.

 There, a young Taoist priest and a middle-aged Taoist priest were sitting side by side, watching the ceremony together.

However, Huang Laozhen, the leader of the Chunyang Palace of the Danding Sect, is highly respected. Even the Shushan of the Weapon Refining Sect and the Tianshi Mansion of the Fulu Sect mentioned him and respected him.

The other middle-aged Taoist priest is much simpler in clothes, wearing coarse linen clothes, and his hair is simply **** with a wooden hairpin, which is the usual clothing style of Shushan sect Taoist priests.

 When Lei Jun saw off Ji Chuan, He Dongxing, Ye Dongming and other people from Shushan, Chu Yu was also about to say goodbye and leave.

Yue Xiling: "Previously, the youngest Celestial Master in the history of Taoist Fulu Sect should be around thirty years old. Now Tang Celestial Master has not officially reached thirty-one years old yet. The difference between the two may only be a few months. At present, even if Tang Celestial Master is He is not the youngest, but he still sits back and looks at one."

So Xinke Tianshi and Xinke Elder entered the Shangqing Lei Mansion Cave and went straight to the fairy mountain in the center of the cave.

Leifu Cave in Shangqing is difficult to enter.

The so-called King Shengkang is not the king of the Tang Dynasty.

 Normally speaking, the former Sui Dynasty was not popular among the people. Even if later generations raised the banner again, most of them would respond.

In addition to him and Lin Xinran, who was originally from the Lin clan in Jiangzhou, there were other descendants of the Shushan sect with similar backgrounds.

 On the other hand, the Xiao clan outside Long County has finally made some progress.

If I have to say it, the Li family and the monks are brothers in distress this time, and they can even find some comfort in their bald heads.

 In fact, various parties speculate that Dakong Temple is indeed connected with the Great Demon of the North.

Master Yuan Mobai had discussed it with him early, and everything would be discussed after the Heavenly Master's succession ceremony on July 15th this year.

 “You are so young!” Ye Dongming looked at Tang Xiaotang who was wearing a nine-colored haori: “Is this the youngest Celestial Master in the history of the Taoist Fulu Sect?”

Like Lu Jinduan, the young Taoist priest wore the black and white Taoist robes that the heirs of Chunyang Palace always wore. It was Yue Xiling, the leader of the younger generation of Chunyang Palace. This time, he and Lu Jinduan came to Longhu Mountain to congratulate and observe the ceremony.

Biyou Fairy Mountain is the core area of ​​Leifu Cave in Shangqing Dynasty.

Fu Dongsen, the contemporary head of the Shushan School, is a very controversial figure.

Yuan Mobai on the side nodded slightly: "The Master of Chu Zhai will go to the southwest according to His Majesty's order."

A certain new Celestial Master was very shy in front of ordinary people, let alone in front of Chu Yu, whom she had not liked in the past?

 Xu Yuanzhen's journey back then gave people a feeling of being more leisurely than taking a leisurely stroll.

The situation is so miserable that it cannot be compared to the Tianshi Mansion. Even the Xiao clan in Longwai, which has declined after the demonic chaos in the Western Regions, cannot beat the Bodhi Temple in this miserable competition.

Having known that Ji Chuan and others were coming, Lei Jun was also prepared and specially made a batch of spiritual talismans as gifts. He said: "It's my turn to be the host on this trip and fulfill my duties as a landlord."

However, Ye Dongming seemed completely unaware of this. Together with He Dongxing, he represented the Shushan Sect and led a team to Longhu Mountain to congratulate the new Celestial Master on his succession.

Yuan Mobai brought up the business: "The matter of Bodhi Temple has been discussed for a long time, but it has finally been settled recently."

Not to mention anything else, the richness of the aura here alone far exceeds that of other places in the cave, and even the Immortal Bamboo Forest is not comparable.

There is another acquaintance Ji Chuan on this trip.

Thinking of his previous encounter with Lei Jun at Bashu Yushan, he smiled and said: "Based on the current situation, he is the youngest among the new generation of elders of the Tianshi Mansion, right? There are successors to the Tianshi Mansion in Longhu Mountain, which is really enviable ."

 Lv Jinduan: "Ashamed."

Not only are they responsible for the destruction of the Bodhi Temple, but they are also responsible for causing the demonic chaos and collusion with Wei An City.

Chu Yu, who changed into hunting clothes and dressed up in the attire of a palace lady, attended the ceremony as a guest of honor.

　　"Thank you, two seniors, for coming all the way to Longhu Mountain to watch the ceremony. I apologize for the poor reception."

Tang Xiaotang did not go anywhere else, but sat down cross-legged on the top of the mountain: "You can do whatever you want, as long as you don't go beyond the main peak."

This caused uneasiness and dissatisfaction among a large number of conservative forces within the Shushan sect, which eventually led to the extremely bad internal strife a few years ago.

Lei Jun and four other people, together with other elders in the mansion, and the three high-ranking elders Yuan Mobai, made a thank you gift with all the guests watching the ceremony.

After the war, there was a lot of waste and manpower shortage. Everyone wanted to break themselves in half and use them, so Lei Jun was not in a hurry to talk about his achievements.

 It was not particularly surprising at the beginning, but as time went by, it gradually began to appear extraordinary, and the upward momentum was always rapid, as if there were no difficulties or obstacles at all.

 Regardless of everything else, if he alone eliminated the three-hole desolate **** tribulation that Huang Tiandao secretly prepared, he would be rich and rich through accumulated merits.

 It's just that Elder Lei, who is in the fifth heaven realm, has made meritorious deeds again.

Dakong Temple naturally takes the blame.

Tang Xiaotang crossed his arms in front of him: "Heavenly Master's robe!"

 In addition to the opportunity to obtain the Shangqing Lei Mansion Cave, there are other rewards waiting for Elder Lei.

The two of them are an elder of the Shushan Sect and a close confidant of the Queen. They both seem to have completely ignored their other identities.

“After the chaos in Wu and Yue was over, I heard that the lay people from Chu did not return to Suzhou, but went directly back to Beijing.” Ye Dongming smiled and nodded in greeting. Chu Yu saw him from a distance and smiled in return.

However, facing Shushan elder Ye Dongming at this moment, Lei Jun behaved as usual, with thoughtful etiquette and making people feel at home.

He Dongxing: "The master is working hard day and night and has no skills. Otherwise, he would definitely go to Longhu Mountain to express his congratulations."

Amid the roar of thunder, numerous lightning currents spread all over the Fairy Mountain, dyeing it purple.

Although there was support from the Tang imperial family, there was no hope of rebuilding this Buddhist holy place.

 Ye Qi, Ye Chifeng and others have already helped Jinzhou Ye Clan to gain recognition in Lei Jun's heart.

 Therefore, Lei Jun postponed the matter temporarily.

The imperial family of the Tang Dynasty could not accept the destruction of Bodhi Temple and had to bear the stigma of causing the demonic chaos in the North.

Lei Jun called the Taoist official: "Thank you, fellow Taoist, for telling me. Our sect will also help keep an eye on the trends in the Southern Wilderness."

 She couldn't help but feel very regretful after coming out of the forbidden area of ​​the ancestral mausoleum.

 Ye Dongming nodded: "Lei Jun, Lei Chongyun."

Lu Jin Duan said: "Master Fu has an astonishing talent, and the old Taoist has always admired him."

Lei Jun was not pretentious, he waved his hand and started walking in the mountains.

“The guests from the Tang Dynasty's imperial family are over there.” Yue Xiling and Ye Dongming looked into the distance together at this time.

"But this time, there is something different." Ji Chuan frowned: "There seems to be someone secretly supporting us within the Tang Dynasty in Central China, and there are also strange movements in the Southern Wilderness."

 Lv Jinduan said slowly: "In comparison, he is like fellow Taoist Xu."

 Lei Jun: “Senior, that's a great award.”

In recent years, the influence of the Shushan Sect has gradually expanded beyond Bashu, and its contacts with all parts of the world have become more frequent.

 Instead, it refers to the prince Shengkang of the previous Sui Dynasty before the Tang Dynasty conquered the world.

Since he was hugged by his thigh this time, he was not polite.

Yue Xiling nodded slightly.

 Lei Jun: "This is exactly what I mean."

Lei Jun followed Tang Xiaotang through the Sea of ​​Thunder and landed on the top of the Fairy Mountain.

"Friend Daoist, long time no see." Lei Jun thanked him, and accepted it first without looking at the specific contents of the capsule.

There are still some wandering disciples of Bodhi Temple who survived, but there are only three or two big cats and kittens left, and the classics and Buddhist treasures in the temple are seriously scattered.

However, even if they really have the blood of the previous dynasty, the fate of the country and the country has long been with them.

 The only one injured was the Bodhi Temple.

 At present, he is with Chunyang Gongyue Xiling, talking and laughing freely.

 Elder of Shushan.

He Dongxing nodded.

Dakong Temple, which has been blamed for many times, is not itchy if it has too many lice, and it does not worry if it has too many debts. Anyway, the Bodhi Temple is almost wiped out, and Dakong Temple can no longer ask for more.

Although the three people who were conferred with Lei Jun this time are all rising stars in Tianshi Mansion, their real age is actually much higher than that of Lei Jun.

He Dongxing and Lu Jinduan also looked over.

Ji Chuan smiled and shook his head: "Dragon and Tiger Fairy Mountain, I have admired the name for a long time. I also hope to have the opportunity to appreciate the scenery of Dragon and Tiger, but I'm afraid it won't work this time. The time is too tight. After the ceremony, I need to join Master and Uncle Ye as soon as possible. Returning to Bashu, I can only wait for the next opportunity."

 “That's good.” Lei Jun became interested.

In the Shushan sect, he is a strong supporter of the head Fu Dongsen.

 At the same time, he was born from the Ye clan in Jinzhou.

“Your Majesty has just ascended the throne and has a new atmosphere.” Ye Dongming said with a smile.

Because he had gone to Bashu earlier, Lei Jun was responsible for entertaining He Dongxing, Ye Dongming and other Shushan sect members during this trip.

On the other side is Tang Xiaotang, who is always making great progress.

"The storm outside has calmed down a little for the time being, but the undercurrent is turbulent, and signs have begun to emerge in the south." Yuan Mo Bai said: "Our sect can only stabilize itself first, and then act according to the opportunity."

"I heard that he has reached the fifth level of heaven and has built a Taoist palace inherited by the Fulu Sect. I just don't know how many Taoist palaces he has built?" He Dongxing sighed: "We haven't seen each other for a few years, and he has gone from the fourth level to the fifth level. Okay, although the speed of cultivation is not as good as that of the New Heavenly Master, the stamina is still very high."

Chu Yu smiled when he heard this: "If I have nothing to do, I don't mind staying with the new Heavenly Master, but if I have something to do, I can only wait until next time."

However, that history is very long ago. Even if Prince Shengkang of the previous dynasty really escaped, he would have been reduced to a pile of loess by now.

“Speaking of youth, there is another person who is also very young.” Yue Xiling looked at the tall and upright figure in the queue of successors of Tianshi Mansion.

However, Yue Xiling was calm as usual at this time, with no ups and downs in his mood, and his state of mind was stable.

 The relationship between the three holy places of Daomen is relatively subtle.

 The other two elders of the Great Daomen Holy Land, He Dongxing and Lu Jinduan, were filled with emotion when they met.

As the leader of the reform in Shushan, it was due to his continuous efforts that the Shushan sect, which was originally relatively closed and self-contained, began to strengthen its contact with the outside world.

In addition to the Celestial Master and a few high-level elders, there are also Taoist priests and Celestial Masters who teach the sixth heaven realm. Under normal circumstances, they can only enter once a year.

 As I walked, I left the people of the same period far behind me.

However, what attracts attention about this middle-aged Taoist priest is his other identity.

“I'm going to Biyou Fairy Mountain, do you want to come with me?” the tall woman said carelessly.

The Shushan sect faces the world beyond Bashu, and its internal and external connections are deepened. This is also one of its characteristics, so it is highly controversial.

 It seems that there is a lot of movement over there... Lei Jun thought to himself.

Ji Chuan nodded.

However, with the arrival of Tang Xiaotang, the thunder suddenly became lower, and the light of thunder seemed to divide the sea, opening a passage from the center.

Yuan Mobai: "Master cannot leave the mountain easily. I plan to go out and try to find the whereabouts of the Heavenly Master's robe after the situation on the mountain is stable."

Of course, the Tao of the Emperor and the Son of Heaven has always only allowed two people to practice. Other members of the previous royal family had their own family traditions, and they were all passed down later.

For Yuexi Mausoleum and for the entire Chunyang Palace, Tang Xiaotang has a special meaning.

Ji Chuan: "Your Majesty has now asked our faction to investigate matters related to the southwest. We do not want chaos in the southwest to spread to Bashu, so the leader has an order. Next, we will organize special personnel to investigate the mountains in the southwest."

Yue Xiling beside Ye Dongming said in the usual tone: "Your Majesty has set up two pavilions in the east and west in front of the palace, presided over by two laymen, Xiao and Chu."

 And now, another Lei Jun has been added.

He looked at Lei Jun: "I was busy before, but now that the ceremony is over, I finally feel a little relaxed and relaxed, and the Shangqing Lei Mansion Cave is also more stable. Why don't you go in and take a walk now?"

While Lu Jinduan was talking to He Dongxing, his eyes glanced aside unexpectedly, seemingly unintentionally.

Tang Xiaotang's eyes rolled around when he heard this.

Yue Xiling nodded slightly.

Secondly, in the previous civil strife and war, both sides fought with real fire, even the Shangqing Lei Mansion Cave was affected, and unexpected changes occurred internally.

 Since the internal strife, the Shushan sect has gradually unified its voice, but in recent years it has remained relatively low-key and has continued to recuperate.

 In the end, the reformists led by the leader Fu Dongsen won, and the conservatives were vigorously purged. The neutral people in Shushan also became divided.

 With the chaos in the North, they are indispensable for connecting in the middle.

 In the past, the Sui Emperor died early, and Prince Shengkang disappeared without a trace. According to rumors, he hid in the southwest.

He has dealt with He Donghang and Ye Dongming before, so he is no stranger to them now.

"How about Master Fu of your sect?" Lu Jinduan asked.

 The previous dynasty was overthrown, all heroes competed for the throne, and Taizu Taizu of the Tang Dynasty founded the country.

This time there was no need to seek good fortune and avoid misfortune to guide him. He made some discoveries in his own perception.

And the famous families such as the Ye Clan of Jinzhou and the Lin Clan of Youzhou did not touch their bodies. Instead, they concentrated on quelling the demon chaos in the North. They did not have any merit but hard work.

Compared to Tang Xiaotang, who soared into the sky immediately, Lei Jun's upward curve is more like Xu Yuanzhen's.

 There are rumors from time to time that there are descendants of Prince Shengkang of the previous dynasty, but it is difficult to tell whether they are true or false.

Yuan Mobai smiled when he saw this, but didn't say much for the time being.

 After lying dormant for many years, Dakong Temple returned to China from the East China Sea and became an instant success.

 Generally speaking, practice always becomes more time-consuming and more difficult as one's level of cultivation increases.

 Looking at Tang Xiaotang who entered the Tianshi Palace and became the new generation of Tianshi in Longhu Mountain, Lu Jinduan sighed in his heart.

 A place in the mountains has a particularly rich aura.

However, when Lei Jun got closer, strands of vines suddenly appeared and wrapped around him.
