Chapter 185 184 The Youngest Elder, Elder Lei
Chapter 185 The youngest elder, Elder Lei
The so-called future troubles may not appear immediately.
With the change of personal cultivation and circumstances, there is a possibility of resolving them in the future.
But for Lei Jun, it is natural to avoid them.
For example, when the disciples were passed down, those who intended to become the disciples of the former Heavenly Master Li Qingfeng would be affected in the future to a greater or lesser extent.
Senior Brother Wang Guiyuan was targeted by King Wu earlier, which also gave him a headache.
Although King Wu is now dead, Master Wang's name has become well-known through King Wu's Mansion, and it is difficult for him to keep a low profile.
When Xiao Xueting came to help the Queen, he asked about Wang Guiyuan.
Fortunately, Yuan Mobai understood the character of his apprentice and kept a low profile, otherwise Wang Guiyuan would have a bigger headache.
Lei Jun could only say take care to Lin Shan at this moment.
He himself exchanged the Shuangling Baoshu Tree for Zhang Jingzhen's Zhenxue Tianniang.
This Zhenxue Tianniang is an aged spirit wine, but it is not inherited by the Taoist talisman school, but comes from the hands of martial artists and doctors.
As the name suggests, its biggest effect is to boost the blood and qi of the flesh and further strengthen the body.
Not only can it be taken by martial artists, but it can also be used by other practitioners who involve physical body, blood and qi.
The Taoist talisman school practices both sex and life, and originally focuses on the practice of physical life.
Even Zhang Jingzhen, who seems to have a graceful and thin figure, is a talisman school cultivator in the sixth heaven realm. In fact, the foundation of physical blood is not weak. She often practices Taoist fists and swords, and can still roll up her sleeves and fight with people in close combat when she offers the Shenda Talisman and the Wuding Kaishan Talisman.
It's just that she doesn't practice the Shenda Talisman and the Wuding Kaishan Talisman as her life magic.
In this regard, her attitude towards Zhenxue Tianniang is similar to Lei Jun's attitude towards the Shuangling Baoshu.
It's good.
But it's not the most suitable for me.
Taoist talisman sect cultivators are relatively versatile and have fewer shortcomings because of the variety of talismans.
On this basis, everyone tends to further improve their own strengths.
At present, Zhang Jingzhen and Lei Jun exchanged the Zhenxue Tianniang and Shuangling Baoshu, and everyone can be regarded as working together to optimize resource allocation.
However...
According to the fortune, if I had Juyuan Bingpo instead of Shuangling Baoshu, this Senior Sister Zhang would probably not come to exchange... Lei Jun thought.
In Zhang Jingzhen's mind, Shuangling Baoshu is not only better than Zhenxue Tianniang, but also better than Juyuan Bingpo?
Perhaps, she wants Shuangling Baoshu not just to enhance the method of helping the dragon and tiger spirits, but also to have another mystery on this basis.
Lei Jun was thoughtful, but did not explore other people's secrets too much.
He began to take and refine Zhenxue Tianniang in the next practice.
Lei Jun's body was tempered by the bear king's black gallbladder, and it was stronger than ordinary Taoist talisman sect fellows.
In his Yuanfu realm and Daogong realm, he successively refined the Yin-Yang Evils and Yin-Yang Gangs, strengthening his own magic power while also feeding back to his physical body.
Now, with the addition of Zhenxue Tianniang, the accumulation is getting deeper and deeper, and there are signs that quantitative changes will lead to qualitative changes.
In his own courtyard, Lei Jun did not sit cross-legged in meditation, but slowly punched.
His movements seemed slow, but every move seemed to contain amazing power, but it was condensed and not released.
The air around his body seemed to be slightly distorted.
The rolling head looked curiously for a long time, and slowly moved his steps to approach Lei Jun.
But before he got close, he felt a wave of heat coming, making the rolling feel like he was approaching a huge furnace emitting huge heat.
Under the pressure, the little guy instantly turned into a big guy, and his body suddenly expanded, becoming even bigger than when he was in Bashu.
Lei Jun smiled at this, stopped his fists, and embraced the Yuan and returned to oneness.
The heat wave slowly subsided.
The huge rolling blinked his eyes, and his body shrank again.
Lei Jun smiled and rubbed the top of his head twice.
Well, it feels good.
The small eyes on the big head of the rolling seemed to move together, looking at him strangely.
"You have practiced the physical life skills well."
Tang Xiaotang's voice suddenly sounded outside the courtyard.
Lei Jun smiled and opened the courtyard door, welcoming the other party in: "Lei Jun meets the Heavenly Master."
Tang Xiaotang walked in with a smile: "No need to be polite."
After the New Year, under the witness of the elders in the mansion, Tang Xiaotang went to the forbidden land of the ancestral mausoleum to pay homage to the ancestors of all generations and officially took over the gate of Longhu Mountain.
In terms of etiquette, she is now the new generation of Heavenly Master of Longhu Mountain.
While carrying the Heavenly Master Sword, Yuan Mobai handed over the Ten Thousand Laws Sect Altar to her early.
On July 15 this year, the Heavenly Master's Enthronement Ceremony will be officially held, and fellow Taoists will be invited to participate in the event.
There is less than half a year left, and preparations will be carried out.
There is no doubt that no matter how long Tang Xiaotang can sit in this position, she will leave a strong mark.
In name, she will be the first talisman monk in history to go from a Taoist child to a Heavenly Master.
Although in reality, she has never lacked the treatment of disciples who are ordained, or even high-level masters, but on the surface, it is always not justified.
Especially this first Taoist child in history also had a second-year syndrome. Even after confirming that he would take over the position of Heavenly Master, he refused to make up for the ordination and ordination ceremony, and was determined to make his own legend to the fullest.
In Lei Jun's words, Tianshi Tang wanted to be able to use "From Taoist Child to Heavenly Master" as the title of his memoirs in the future.
It seems that some of my jokes at the beginning made her make up her mind. This is really a sin. The ancestors of all generations, please forgive your disciple... Lei Jun bowed his head in the direction of the ancestral tomb in the back mountain.
Tang Xiaotang looked at the side with a puzzled look on her face: "What are you doing?"
"I'm here to tell all the ancestors that I hope the Heavenly Master's robe can return to Longhu Mountain soon." Lei Jun was calm and easily interrupted Tang Tianshi.
Sure enough, when it came to this, Tang Xiaotang puffed up her cheeks: "My junior uncle and the others have prepared a replica of the nine-color robe, but how can a replica compare to the real Heavenly Master's robe? Humph, after I finish my current work, I must..."
She was halfway through her words and suddenly got stuck.
Lei Jun stood quietly aside, watching his nose with his eyes and his heart with his nose.
"Who said that the Heavenly Master can't leave the mountain and travel." Tang Xiaotang muttered, but her voice became lower and lower, and her momentum was obviously weaker.
Of course, the Heavenly Master can leave the mountain and travel.
All the Heavenly Masters of all generations have done similar things.
But now, no matter how careless Tang Tianshi is, he has to restrain himself.
After experiencing a series of turmoil, the Heavenly Master's Mansion has been seriously injured, and no major accidents can happen for the time being.
Tang Xiaotang could only stay on the mountain with the Heavenly Master Sword.
"The Heavenly Master robe must be found." Tang Xiaotang snorted.
Lei Jun nodded: "That's right."
Tang Xiaotang's mind jumped and he quickly changed the subject: "Wait until July, I wonder if the senior sister will be able to come back in time?"
This question made Lei Jun sigh: "No news for the time being."
"Hey, I'm going to meditate for a while."
Tang Xiaotang clenched his fists, his eyes shining: "When the senior sister comes back, I will give her a big surprise!"
Lei Jun watched the other person leave with a smile.
Tang Tianshi almost didn't care about the daily affairs on the mountain.
He basically left everything to Yuan Mobai, Yao Yuan, and Shangguan Ning, three high-level elders.
Everything seemed to be the same as before.
It was just like when the former Heavenly Master Li Qingfeng was in seclusion all year round.
Fortunately, everyone had long been accustomed to it.
In daily affairs, the Heavenly Master has no sense of existence for more than 20 years...
Tang Tianshi's daily life can be summarized in about three words.
Practice.
Show off.
Play.
I don't know if it's comforting or not, at least she puts practice first and fully implements her personal philosophy:
If I am the strongest person in Longhu Mountain, then I should be the Heavenly Master.
On the contrary, since I am the Heavenly Master, I must ensure that I am the most advanced person in Longhu Mountain.
As for the surprise she wants to give Xu Yuanzhen...
Of course it's not that she becomes the Heavenly Master.
Back then, Miss Tang, the overlord among the Taoist children, had three major ideals in life.
In addition to becoming a Heavenly Master, she wanted to become the first successor of the Heavenly Master's Mansion.
Well, the spearhead was pointed directly at Xu Yuanzhen.
In the Heavenly Master's Mansion, Tang Xiaotang has always had a deep relationship with Xu Yuanzhen, but this does not contradict her determination to defeat the other party.
As for the other wish, to become the Heavenly Master's direct disciple...
After the death of the previous Heavenly Master Li Qingfeng, Tang Xiaotang gave up this matter.
Now she is going to take over the position of the Heavenly Master, but because she is determined not to make up for the ceremony of transmission and granting the ordination, this has become a mess.
It is too frivolous to not clarify the master-disciple relationship. Tang Xiaotang will succeed the Heavenly Master after all.
After being recorded under the name of Li Qingfeng, everyone can finally accept disciples on behalf of the previous Heavenly Master, and the matter is also controversial.
In order to avoid turmoil, the reckoning of the Li family does not trace back to the previous generations of Li Heavenly Masters, including Li Qingfeng.
But now, in the context of cleaning up the house, Tang Xiaotang has entered the lineage of Li Qingfeng again, which has caused discussion again.
The final compromise plan...
Since we can accept disciples on behalf of the deceased former Heavenly Master Li Qingfeng, then we can also accept disciples on behalf of other elders of other surnames who can no longer speak.
So, I have wronged an elder who died early. I will trouble you to send the new Heavenly Master to your name and inherit your legacy.
Tang Xiaotang herself is not entangled.
She cares more about the living.
"Speaking of which, that Huo Yao has not appeared again." After seeing Tang Xiaotang off, Lei Jun closed the courtyard door.
There are three new people in the starry sky in the book.
Lei Jun also verified it with an acquaintance who knew about it.
Tang Xiaotang was very curious about this, but she said she had no idea about it before.
I heard that the seven stars were complete and there was no vacancy, and Master Tang Tianshi felt a little regretful.
After that, Lei Jun and others gathered in the starry sky in the book several times.
However, the Mars and Fire Star, who held the Book of Heaven·Six, never appeared again.
The stars themselves were covered by air currents, rather than being completely dim, indicating that this page of the Book of Heaven still had an owner. I just don’t know whether its owner can be changed, or what the owner is busy with at the moment?
Considering that the practitioners in this world sometimes close their doors and immerse themselves in their own world of Taoism for a long time without communicating with the outside world, Lei Jun and others were not surprised by such things.
Days passed one by one.
Winter went to spring and everything revived.
After the previous series of chaos, the Tang Dynasty finally calmed down a little.
In addition to going to Gaogong Pavilion for training every day and helping Master Yuan Mobai to deal with the affairs of the sect, Lei Jun continued to focus on his own practice.
The five elements of creation were constantly refined by him.
The five elements, five organs, and five qi in his body became more and more abundant.
The fifth level of the Dao Palace is the stage for Taoist talisman monks to further strengthen their physical bodies.
Lei Jun drank the blood-enhancing heavenly wine to improve his qi and blood, and also feed back to the five organs, five elements, and five qi.
As time went by, he built the fourth Dao Palace and finally reached the final stage.
Time gradually entered summer.
This night, after Lei Junxin practiced a set of boxing, he adjusted his qi and blood for a period of time, returned to the quiet room, sat cross-legged in meditation, and breathed in and out.
There was a radiance shining above his head.
In addition to the Central Sanqing Palace, the Southern Dragon and Tiger Palace and the Northern Xuanming Palace, there is a fourth Western Lingguan Palace.
The fourth level of the Dao Palace is complete.
"Huh..." Lei Jun let out a long breath: "Okay, the last Eastern Xuantan Palace is missing, and it will be complete."
The five elements of the creation of the Yuanqi, under constant nourishment, made Lei Jun's practice smoother than before.
Not only reflected in the rapid improvement of practice at ordinary times.
On the other hand, it directly reduced the difficulty of his crossing the Tiancha calamity when he went from the fifth level to the sixth level later.
After Lei Jun successfully built the fifth Dao Palace, after a period of warming up, he could try to sprint to the sixth level of the Dao Yin realm.
After he calmed down, he first stabilized the fourth Dao Palace and warmed up his own foundation.
The Western Lingguan Palace is the Dharma Protector Palace. After it is completed, it is beneficial for cultivators to cast spells to expel external evils and increase the power of spells.
Lei Jun condensed the Yin-Yang two evil spirits and the Yin-Yang two Gangs, which enhanced the power of his own magic. Therefore, when he sat in a battle with cultivators of the same realm, he would not make a move, but once he made a move, he would have the upper hand.
At this time, building the Western Lingguan Palace can make his magic power go a step further.
After the Lingguan Palace was properly nurtured, Lei Jun began to steadily build the fifth Taoist Palace without rushing.
The fifth Taoist Palace is called the Eastern Xuantan Palace.
The Xuantan Palace symbolizes wealth and savings.
It starts from the liver wood, and after the harmony of yin and yang, it produces the Shaoyang Qi, and the Shaoyang Qi builds the Xuantan Palace.
After it is built, it can greatly improve the magic power of the talisman sect cultivators.
It can cooperate with the Northern Xuanming Palace, which is conducive to the recovery of magic power.
According to Lei Jun's current cultivation and the magic he has learned, when his five Dao Palaces are complete and reach the fifth level of the realm, he can fire at least two Yuanci Sword Pills in a short period of time without the help of external objects, and the power is stronger. With the help of treasures such as the Xirang Flag, the number should be greater.
Lei Jun calmed down and continued to practice without anxiety.
There is not much left of the Great Five Elements Creation Qi now.
When Lei Jun's five Dao Palaces are complete, it will be the time to completely refine the Great Five Elements Creation Qi.
Time is like water, passing quickly.
In a blink of an eye, it is midsummer.
July 15th is approaching.
After the position of the Heavenly Master has been vacant for six or seven years, the Longhu Mountain Heavenly Master Mansion will finally welcome the new Heavenly Master to take the throne.
The grand ceremony and rituals have been prepared and are about to begin.
The focus of Lei Jun and others' work in the sect is temporarily focused on this Heavenly Master succession ceremony.
"Brother Lei, I have just recovered from my injury and have been preparing in a hurry. I would like to ask you, Brother Lin, Sister Zhang, and Brother Fang to give me some advice for the ceremony." A Taoist priest who looked like a young man and was wearing a dark red Taoist robe greeted Lei Jun politely.
Lei Jun: "Brother Ke, you are too polite. Let's take care of each other."
The Taoist priest who looked like a young man in front of him was Yao Yuan's favorite disciple Ke Sicheng.
He was from the same sect as Li Zhusheng, Chen Yi and others.
Chen Yi defected from the sect and Li Zhusheng died, which weakened the momentum of Elder Yao's sect in recent years.
Fortunately, there is Ke Sicheng to support the sect.
Speaking of Ke Sicheng, this gentleman is not very lucky.
In his early years, he was also known as Zhang Jingzhen, Li Xuan, Lin Shan, Li Kong, Xia Xiushan and others, and was a seed player in the first echelon of the young generation of Tianshi Mansion.
But he suffered a serious injury when he traveled outside a few years ago, so his progress was slightly affected.
Then, six or seven years ago, in the battle with the Jiangzhou Lin Clan, Huang Tiandao, and Xuehe Sect, Ke Sicheng was injured again.
After a few years of recuperation, he came out again, and caught up with the Tianshi Mansion and the Jiangzhou Lin Clan in Poyang Lake.
Ke Sicheng was injured for the third time, and he had to recuperate until the beginning of summer this year before he gradually recovered.
During the civil strife last winter, Ke Sicheng was still on the sickbed.
Because Yao Yuan rebelled against Li, Ke Sicheng was almost killed by some Li family members who took advantage of the chaos to retaliate.
From another perspective, he fought for the Tianshi Mansion again and again.
It was just that he delayed his own practice in the case of continuous disasters, and now he was left behind by Zhang Jingzhen and Lin Shan.
But thinking of the previously glorious Li Xuan, Li Kong and others, and even the former young Tianshi Li Zhengxuan, Ke Sicheng couldn't help but sigh that things are unpredictable, and his luck doesn't seem to be that bad.
At present, the Tianshi Mansion is in ruins and needs more young people to take over.
In addition to Lei Jun, Zhang Jingzhen, and Lin Shan, Ke Sicheng also became a representative figure.
The same is true for Fang Jian and others behind him, but their current cultivation realm is still a little low, so this time only Lei Jun and the other four will officially become the elders of the sect.
In the past six months, Lei Jun often went to the Gaogong Pavilion to listen to the teachings of his master Yuan Mobai, familiarize himself with the daily affairs of the sect, and slowly get started.
After this ceremony, he will officially take office.
Compared with the ceremony of ordination and ordination, this ceremony of the succession of the Heavenly Master is more grand and takes longer.
Although the official date of the ceremony is set on July 15, the corresponding ritual prelude has been kicked off nine days ago.
Yuan Mobai, Yao Yuan, and Shangguan Ning, the three Gaogong elders, held a scripture, a hand stove, and a Dharma lamp, and walked in front.
Lei Jun, Zhang Jingzhen, Zuo Li, Lin Shan and other ordination successors followed closely behind.
Then came Wang Guiyuan, Chu Kun and other disciples.
The crowd entered the Jade Emperor Hall first, offered prayers and confessed, lit incense and chanted mantras.
Then, the new Heavenly Master Tang Xiaotang, wearing a nine-color robe, officially appeared.
During this period, Heavenly Master Tang, who had been practicing and familiar with the relevant procedures, rarely had a straight face and was very serious.
The procedures in the Jade Emperor Hall took a whole day.
On the second day, Yuan Mobai and the other two led the team out of the Jade Emperor Hall and headed for the Wanfa Sect Altar.
The Wanfa Sect Altar was opened, and a large number of Dao patterns and Dao essences converged into a soaring spiritual light that reached the sky.
It is customary for the old Heavenly Master to lead the new Heavenly Master in.
There is no Supreme Heavenly Master at present, so Yuan Mobai and the other three high-level elders went first with the Heavenly Master Sword, followed by Tang Xiaotang.
Lei Jun and others stayed outside the Wanfa Sect Altar.
Everyone set up nine Taoist banners, which fluttered in the wind, and then lit thirty-six bright lamps, making a number of forty-nine.
Lei Jun and other disciples chanted Taoist scriptures outside the sect altar, and offered incense and lamps that burned forever.
This went on for seven days.
After seven days, the spiritual light of the Wanfa Sect Altar finally closed.
All the Longhu Mountain disciples were shocked at the same time, and felt a sense of emptiness.
After the Wanfa Sect Altar was closed, Tang Xiaotang went out first, followed by Yuan Mobai and the other three high-level elders.
Everyone outside the altar said in unison: "Disciples pay homage to the Heavenly Master, and may you have infinite blessings and longevity."
After Tang Xiaotang led everyone to pay respect to the Ten Thousand Dharmas Sect Altar, she went ahead.
Everyone went to the ancestral tomb in the back mountain again.
This time, only Tang Xiaotang entered, burning incense and paying respect to the ancestors of all generations.
After a day, the time finally came to July 15th.
The new Heavenly Master left the ancestral tomb in the back mountain, and everyone lined up together and went to the Heavenly Master Hall to start the formal ceremony.
After the new Heavenly Master Tang Xiaotang presented a petition and confessed to the heavens, the ceremony came to an end.
At this time, the people standing behind Tang Xiaotang were no longer the three high-level elders Yuan Mobai, but Lei Jun, Zhang Jingzhen, Lin Shan and Ke Sicheng followed her to present a petition and recite the petition and edict.
As Tang Xiaotang took over the position of Heavenly Master, Lei Jun and the other four were appointed and officially became elders of the Heavenly Master Mansion of Longhu Mountain.
It is not that fellow disciples politely call him elder, but that he is the Taoist elder who takes on formal duties and spreads the word to fellow disciples all over the world.
Lei Jun, who has not yet officially turned 33, has become the youngest elder in the Tianshi Mansion.
Elder Lei.
