Chapter 161 160 Seek Good Fortune and Avoid Danger, Avoid Danger
Chapter 161: Seek good fortune and avoid danger
There are waves and differences within the Chu clan.
Did Chu Yu have a fierce dispute with her father, Chu Guolao?
Lei Jun listened to the relevant news and thought about it.
The Suzhou Chu clan is one of the five surnames and seven families in the world. The current old clan leader has always been highly respected in Jiangnan. He once served as a prime minister in the court and was an important official of the Tang Dynasty.
At that time, it was still the generation of the previous Tang emperor, that is, the father of the late emperor Zhang Qilong and the empress Zhang Wantong.
Afterwards, although the old clan leader of the Chu clan retired and returned to his hometown, the world is still accustomed to calling him Chu Guolao.
Chu Yu is his youngest daughter in his old age. He has always regarded her as the apple of his eye. Therefore, although she is not old, her status and generation in the Chu clan are quite high.
Of course, Chu Yu herself is also excellent enough. She is a young scholar of the seventh heaven and the world-famous first talented woman in Jiangnan. She entered the core seniority of the Chu clan early and became the backbone of the clan.
But right now, Chu Yu and her father are having a huge quarrel. If the news is true, it is indeed worth paying attention to.
The disagreement between the two sides is certainly not because Chu Yu has reached his rebellious period and adolescence.
As a master of the upper three days who can participate in the decision-making level of the Chu clan, such a fierce dispute is probably related to some aspect of the Chu clan's decision.
Is it because of the recent movements of King Wu, or some other reason... Lei Jun guessed in his heart.
Among the aristocratic families, the Suzhou Chu clan and the Longhushan Tianshi Mansion are relatively friendly.
If there is any change in the Chu clan, it may also affect the Tianshi Mansion, which is currently fighting with the Jiangzhou Lin clan.
Lei Jun was thinking in his mind, but his face was calm, and he only responded calmly: "Master Yue Zhai and the head of the Chu clan have a dispute? I have never heard of this before. Thank you for the news."
Yue Yao: "You're welcome. We all get what we need."
The four people are still wary of each other.
After the transaction was completed, except for Yueyao chatting for a few words, the other three did not say much. After saying goodbye to each other, they "went offline".
In the following time, Lei Jun continued to practice himself in addition to his daily inspection of Xianliu Palace.
Refining the Great Five Elements Creation Qi is a long process.
However, this process did not delay Lei Jun from improving his own cultivation.
On the contrary, as he continued to refine the Great Five Elements Creation Qi, under mutual confirmation, the process of nourishing the five internal organs, refining the five elements and generating the five qi on the other side became faster and faster.
On this day, Lei Jun finished his own practice and went out to inspect Xianliu Mountain again.
After a while, a team came from the east.
All the visitors were disciples of the Tianshi Mansion.
They were responsible for transporting a new batch of Xianliu ink, five qi stones and some other supplies back to the ancestral home of Longhu Mountain.
Xianliu Mountain has rarely been invaded by the Lin clan recently, but the battle between the two sides has become more intense recently.
In addition to both sides putting more and more forces into the main battlefield of Poyang Lake, more fierce battles broke out near the two old nests of Longhu Mountain Ancestral Temple and Jiangzhou Ancestral Land opposite.
Although the cloud car is fast, it has a large target and is easy to be attacked.
Even if it is not attacked, as long as the people of the Lin clan disturb the spiritual energy veins in the air, it may cause the cloud car to lose control.
Therefore, the transportation team sent by the Tianshi Mansion to the branch offices in various places no longer directly travels by cloud car as in the past, and instead organizes small teams by capable disciples to transport.
Their trip here also replenishes the large amount of materials consumed by Lei Jun and others stationed in Xianliu Palace.
Lei Jun ordered Yunzhan and other disciples who stayed in Xianliu Palace to immediately count the materials and spiritual objects here and hand them over to the fellow disciples from the mountain gate ancestral temple to take back.
However, a ball of light suddenly flashed in his mind today, and words appeared:
[Divided into different roads, good and bad are hidden, Buddhism and Taoism are divided, and disasters and blessings are determined by themselves. 】
Lei Jun was slightly surprised, and then he saw three fortunes flying out of the light ball, appearing in his mind one by one:
[Middle-upper fortune, escort the transport team to the northern foot of Daqing Peak, get a fifth-grade opportunity, no danger, cause and effect entanglement, change of fortune and disaster, take advantage of the situation, or a little trouble, or can be eliminated, auspicious. 】
[Middle-middle fortune, do not escort, stay in Xianliu Palace, do not do it, nothing to gain, nothing to lose, flat. 】
[Middle-low fortune, escort the transport team to the vicinity of Jiuyuan Lake, nothing to gain, encounter danger and bury troubles, bad luck]
The northern foot of Daqing Peak...
Jiuyuan Lake...
Both are routes that can be used to return from Xianliu Mountain to Longhu Mountain.
Now because of the war, many places have become uneasy.
Therefore, although the world is big, there are not as many suitable roads to choose from Xianliu Mountain to Longhu Mountain.
The northern foot of Daqing Peak and the Jiuyuan Lake area are the most suitable routes at present.
As far as Lei Jun knows, the transport team took the Daqing Peak route when they came from Longhu Mountain to Xianliu Mountain.
Buddhism and Taoism are different, and good and bad are determined by oneself...
No danger...
But there may be troubles, and depending on the specific developments in the future, the troubles may also be eliminated...
Lei Jun quickly extracted the key points of the middle and upper signs.
After thinking for a while, he asked the Tianshifu disciple who led the team opposite: "How are you going to go on this return trip?"
There were no other Xianliu Palace disciples left around, and Lei Jun's situation was special, so there was no possibility of leaking secrets, so the Tianshifu disciple told him frankly:
"We went from Daqing Peak when we came, and we planned to go from Jiuyuan Lake when we went back."
The middle and lower road... Lei Jun thought.
Encountering dangers and burying troubles, there is no gain to speak of.
Except that it is not a dead end, it is really a fate that cannot be worse.
"I was patrolling the mountains a few days ago. There was a faint evil spirit surging over Jiuyuan Lake. Although it was thin and disappeared quickly, we must be on guard." Lei Jun said.
The disciple of Tianshi Mansion opposite him looked serious: "Is it really like this?"
He did not doubt Lei Jun, but said with regret: "If so, we will have fewer routes to choose from between Xianliu Mountain and Longhu Mountain."
Of course, all this is relative.
If it is not necessary, it is not a bad idea to temporarily endure and stop the transportation of materials.
If necessary, some less safe areas should be ventured.
"Just in case, we also need to go to Daqing Mountain on the way back." The disciple of Tianshi Mansion said.
Lei Jun seemed to be silent for a while, and then said: "The five qi stones and other things can be put on hold. The Xianliu ink at the mountain gate is quite tight. This batch cannot be lost. How about this, I will send you a way."
The other party was overjoyed.
Although Lei Jun is young, he has already reached the fifth level of cultivation.
It is not low even in the Tianshi Mansion of Longhu Mountain.
Some young disciples and the Taoist children in the Taoist Children's Courtyard at the foot of the mountain, in addition to respectfully calling him Master Lei, gradually began to respectfully call him Elder Lei.
If he were not young and inexperienced, he would be recognized as Elder Lei.
If he were to be sent out of the mountain, Master Lei would have the qualifications to establish a sect, expand the sect, and pass on the title of the head of a branch.
With Lei Jun escorting them, the disciples of the Tianshi Mansion would naturally feel more at ease.
However, the other party hesitated again: "Brother Lei, if you leave, the Xianliu Palace..."
Lei Jun: "I will not show up in public, hide in the team, and keep the news confidential. If there is no accident, I will return to the Xianliu Palace after sending you across the Daqing Peak. There is no enemy here for the time being, and we have some free time."
The other party was overjoyed: "That's really great!"
Lei Jun's method sounded familiar to him, and he soon remembered that this method was actually the same as the current method of Lei Jun's master Yuan Mobai.
Although Yuan Mobai left Longhu Mountain, his whereabouts were erratic and difficult to find, so he used this to travel around to take care of many places.
Lei Jun did not leave Xianliu Palace openly, but went back and forth secretly.
After discussing it properly, the group set off secretly.
On the Xianliu Palace side, only Yun Zhan and three other disciples who were given the ordination knew about it, and they immediately promised to keep it a secret and wait for Lei Jun to return as soon as possible.
Lei Jun changed the dark red Taoist robe he wore after receiving the ordination, and changed it to the apricot yellow Taoist robe for the disciples of ordination.
He is now highly skilled in cultivation, and even controls his own flesh and blood bones, making some temporary changes, suppressing his more conspicuous tall and straight figure to a medium level, restraining his breath, and then blending into the crowd.
The group set off and left Xianliu Mountain and headed east.
Lei Jun walked silently in the crowd. In addition to sensing the movements around him, he also paid some attention to the south.
That was the direction of Jiuyuan Lake.
Although the distance was far enough to be beyond the range of vision and perception, the danger predicted by the fortune was not likely to be a small event.
In the afternoon.
"Boom!"
A loud noise suddenly came from the south.
Lei Jun and others hurriedly stopped and looked to the south.
Looking at the approximate direction, it was the Jiuyuan Lake.
The weather was originally clear, but the sky in the south was suddenly overcast, with a faint line of black smoke rising into the sky, which was ominous.
The disciples of the Tianshi Mansion present were all practicing spiritual energy and enlightenment. Seeing the half-clouded sky, they all felt depressed.
The disciple in charge of the team was named Zhou Zihang. Seeing this, he murmured to himself: "Evil spirit and evil atmosphere..."
Brother Lei was right!
There was indeed a big monster on the Jiuyuan Lake.
Lei Jun looked carefully to the south.
Under the black clouds, there seemed to be a little bit of glass Buddha light rising and flickering on the horizon.
Judging from the appearance, there is a Buddhist monk who is fighting a big monster.
The danger and hidden danger mentioned in the middle and lower fortune should be caused by this.
If Zhou Zihang and others approached rashly without knowing it, even if they did not run into the monster's mouth, they might be swept by the aftermath of the fierce battle between the two sides.
For Lei Jun at present, although it was a battle between two masters of the upper three-day level, as long as he was careful, the aftermath of the fight would generally not affect him.
But the direction of Jiuyuan Lake still opened a dangerous middle and lower fortune, indicating that there may be more hidden secrets and risks there.
"Brother Lei, thanks to your reminder, otherwise we would have fallen into the tiger's mouth this time." Zhou Zihang looked at the dark clouds that dyed half of the sky in the south, and was still frightened.
Lei Jun: "I am not sure there will be such a big monster, but it is always better for us to be careful."
Zhou Zihang and other fellow disciples nodded: "Yes, yes."
They were about to say something, and suddenly saw Lei Jun's expression became more serious.
"Enemy attack."
Lei Jun turned his head and looked in the direction of Daqing Peak in front of him: "This time it's not a monster, it's a human."
"Is it someone from the Lin clan?" Zhou Zihang and others knew that with Lei Jun's cultivation strength, his perception range was larger than theirs.
Suddenly, a small dark cloud rose in the distant forest.
The dark cloud rose to the middle of the sky and then fell, covering the sky above the heads of the disciples of the Tianshi Mansion.
It was clearly a small dense rain of arrows, flying from afar in the form of projectiles.
Zhou Zihang and others were reminded by Lei Jun, and they were not panicked when they were suddenly attacked. The golden spiritual light and aura formed a barrier, which was the effect of the golden talismans of the Tianshi Mansion.
The sharp arrows fell on the golden light barrier, and the golden light barrier trembled. It was obviously under a violent attack, which was not comparable to ordinary arrows.
The arrows were filled with the aura of a Confucian archer, and their range and lethality far exceeded those of ordinary people.
However, the Golden Pass Talisman, as a well-known spiritual talisman of the Tianshi Mansion, could withstand the first wave of dense arrow rain despite the shaking golden light barrier.
Needless to say, a group of Tianshi Mansion disciples dispersed tacitly, rushing forward from the mountains and forests in twos and threes, getting close to the opponent.
Zhou Zihang looked back subconsciously, but he could not see Brother Lei around him. He did not know when the other party disappeared and where he went.
He was distracted in surprise and almost got hit by an arrow. He did not dare to be distracted again and quickly focused his attention on the enemy.
When the distance was a little closer, Zhou Zihang and other Tianshi Mansion disciples were not polite and offered spiritual talismans one after another.
Generally speaking, although the basic spiritual talismans of the Tianshi Mansion are exquisite, the distance of their influence is not too far.
But Zhou Zihang and others attacked from a long distance.
I saw a series of seemingly small flames flying up into the air one after another, and actually shot at the ambushing Lin clan members on the opposite side.
But when those flames passed through the air and landed, they immediately set off a piece of flame explosion after another.
It was the flying fire talisman created by Lei Jun.
It didn't matter that he was gone for now.
The talisman he created was with Zhou Zihang and others.
Compared with the initial discomfort, Zhou Zihang and other disciples of the Tianshi Mansion now used the flying fire talisman one by one, and they all had accuracy.
Multiple flying fire talismans flew out together, concentrated their attacks, and directly blew the mountain forest where the arrow rain flew out before into a sea of fire.
However, after the earliest losses, the Lin clan members had begun to be wary of the "new weapons" of the descendants of the Tianshi Mansion.
In the forest, after the first round of arrow rain, a group of Lin clan members of the Confucian archery lineage dispersed and then each looked for a suitable position and angle.
The other Lin clan members, on the other hand, rushed down the mountain and engaged in a tangle with Zhou Zihang and other descendants of the Tianshi Mansion, creating opportunities for the sharpshooters of the same clan.
After the distance was relatively close, Zhou Zihang and others became even more rude.
Some people saved their mana and continued to rush forward.
Others directly showed another new basic talisman invented by Lei Jun.
Chain Flame Talisman.
Compared with the previous time when the Flying Fire Talisman was fired, the number of people offering talismans was less at this time.
But the momentum caused was even greater.
Several chain flame talismans were thrown together, and the sea of fire suddenly spread in all directions, and there were even more chain explosions, covering an even more amazing area and burning power.
However, the Lin clan has been a famous family for generations, and the family learning has a long history, which is not comparable to other inheritances.
The Lin clan Confucian monks who rushed to the nearby area, the sword energy was as cold as a vast river, and other changes occurred.
The misty and vast sword energy turned into condensed and compressed, as if it was as solid as a rock, standing in the center of the long river, and it would not be shaken even if the river washed it.
It was the Jiangxin Stone Sword, one of the family skills of the Lin family.
This unique skill has both offensive and defensive capabilities. The condensed sword energy seems to have formed a barrier like a stubborn stone, protecting itself and resisting the invasion of the chain of flames.
But the fire was too fierce, as if it could roast the rock and crack.
The sword intent and sword energy condensed by the children of the Lin family were forcibly blasted and exploded by the chain of flames.
The Jiangzhou Lin family and the Longhushan Tianshi Mansion are old rivals, and the two sides have fought for many years.
Under normal circumstances, the Lin family's Jiangxin Stone Sword can at least block the bombardment of the flame talismans of the Tianshi Mansion disciples of the same realm.
But now, they are facing the chain of flame talismans.
After the defense was broken by the chain of flame talismans, other Tianshi Mansion disciples with spiritual talismans such as Chengfeng, Shenda, and Tiangang approached and launched a second round of offensive.
"Lin Zongquan?!"
Zhou Zihang held a ruler and fought with a Lin clan disciple opposite him. After seeing the other person's appearance, he was furious: "Thank you for your life, junior brother!"
The two were also old enemies. Zhou Zihang's junior brother of the same clan and lineage died under the sword of the Lin clan disciple in front of him.
"You will meet your brothers soon." The Confucian classics monk named Lin Zongquan was embarrassed when he was attacked by the chain of flames and fought against Zhou Zihang. He even smiled.
Facing the approaching Tianshifu disciple Zhou Zihang, he did not retreat, but took the initiative to raise his sword and fight with Zhou Zihang.
The originally condensed sword energy became agile again at this moment, as if it turned from a stubborn stone into flowing water.
While the sword energy was continuous, the sword force continued to rise, like a waterfall rushing down, constantly stirring and becoming more and more turbulent.
Jiangzhou Lin clan family learning.
Kuanglu Sandiequan Sword.
Other Lin clan disciples were not panicked either.
They had seen the power of the Flying Fire Talisman and the Chain Flame Talisman.
The reason why they gritted their teeth and held on was naturally because they were not alone, but to buy time and opportunity for the sharpshooters of their own clan.
They waited.
In the forest behind them, the students of the Lin clan’s sharpshooting lineage, who had re-found their positions and angles, shot arrows again.
However, the number of arrows and the intensity of the attack were obviously much lower than expected.
Although Zhou Zihang and other disciples of the Tianshi Mansion had to guard against cold arrows, they were obviously much more relaxed.
What the hell? !
Lin Zongquan and other Confucian classics monks who faced the battle head-on cursed in their hearts.
If they were not related, they would probably have to greet the eighteen generations of ancestors of those of their own clan.
Lin Zongquan took a quick look back in his busy schedule, but his eyes almost popped out of his sockets.
He did find a cousin of his who practiced the sharpshooting lineage.
However, at the moment when the other party entered his field of vision, he actually saw an apricot-yellow figure behind his cousin.
The figure was like a ghost, stretching out its hands from behind the neck of the Lin Clan archer.
Silently grabbed his head.
Twist gently.
Lin Zongquan was stunned, looking at his fellow brother with a blank face, his neck tilted to the side, and his body limp.
Behind him, it was clearly a Taoist priest in yellow from the Tianshi Mansion!
The Taoist priest in yellow moved lightly, without any fireworks, as if he just passed behind the Lin clan sharpshooter and twisted his neck, but he himself did not stop, and walked away lightly and silently, going somewhere else.
Although there were some waves, it was much calmer than the Jiuyuan Lake... Lei Jun calmly came behind another Lin clan sharpshooter.
"Crack."
Another Lin clan member fell quietly in the mountains and forests.
