Chapter 212 211 Unity and Friendship, Giving Allies "Opportunities"
Chapter 212 211. Unity and friendship, giving allies "opportunities"
In the cave of Zhenyi Dharma Altar, Lei Jun quietly listened to the conversation between Shangguan Peng and Shangguan Peng. His mood was not ups and downs, but he just raised his eyebrows slightly.
The voice of the middle-aged captain continued to be heard from the Thousand Miles Transmission Note: "According to the temperament of the new Celestial Master, it is indeed possible. Even if she comes out of the mountain without the Celestial Master Sword, she herself will definitely not be able to hold it back, but..."
He hesitated to speak, but Shangguan Peng said calmly: "Of course, it must be the remnants of the previous dynasty or the people in the blood river. We must not get involved, otherwise it will be self-defeating, but there are always some... coincidences in this world."
The middle-aged lieutenant understood: "Just as Xiong Gang of the Blood River Sect appeared in the Lunan Valley by chance, the Shushan Sect had a deeper enmity with them."
Having said that, the middle-aged captain who was also from the Shangguan clan was still a little worried: "General, it was His Majesty's original decree to protect the Tianshi Mansion in Longhu Mountain and allow it to temporarily rest and recuperate. Now Your Majesty has no new decree to issue. If we are like this now, will it be..."
Shangguan Peng: "At this time and that time, when Your Majesty protected Longhu Mountain, the remnants of the previous dynasty were not as rampant as they are today. They actually wanted to establish another destiny line for the Mountain and River Kingdom in the Southern Wilderness, and Wei Ancheng of the Blood River Sect had not yet confirmed their arrival. The realm of the Nine Heavens.
Nowadays, the situation is undergoing a series of drastic changes. Of course, measures must be adapted to local conditions. However, His Majesty's words cannot be changed easily. We should try to figure out your intentions and share your worries for Your Majesty.
As long as we act carefully, everything has nothing to do with us. Even if the truth is revealed in the future, we should bear some bad reputation for Your Majesty. "
oh? It sounds like that, but is it really so... Lei Jun listened calmly, thoughtfully.
"What the general said is..." the middle-aged captain whispered.
He exhaled a long breath: "In the past few years, both the Shence Army and my Shangguan clan have suffered heavy losses for the Tang Dynasty. The Buddhists and Taoists have received a lot of support, but they have shrunk behind. Now it is their turn to be the main force for the Tang Dynasty." Give some effort!”
Why is it that my Shangguan clan is bleeding and sweating all the time, while the Buddhists and Taoists can stay back and recuperate?
It’s time for us to recuperate and recuperate. Now is the time when we need the Buddha’s path to stand in front of us.
Otherwise, why did I come to support you in the past?
This trend of thought probably has a certain scale within the Shangguan clan and the nobles of the Tang Dynasty. It is not the idea of just a few people... Lei Jun was convinced.
As for whether, as Shangguanpeng said, he wanted to share His Majesty's worries and do things that were inconvenient for His Majesty, there is a question mark, and it is not necessarily who will take the blame.
That's not to say that Her Majesty the Queen will definitely give preferential treatment to Buddhism, but her behavior is indeed a bit weird.
The opening of the new school palace fundamentally shook the foundation of the family, but it also made the emerging noble families who were originally the foundation of the Tang imperial family uneasy.
Especially after the previous series of battles, the Shangguan clan and other noble families were also severely damaged.
The Shangguan clan rests with the country and will not waver in the general direction. They will always be the pillars of the Tang Dynasty, but they may not have their own ideas on small details.
"It's true that Longhu Mountain suffered a catastrophe before, but now that the world is in chaos, who is not struggling in turbulent waves?"
Shangguan Peng said calmly: "It takes a thousand days to raise an army, but it only takes a moment to use it. Now we can only overcome the difficulties together."
Middle-aged captain: "Yes."
After a pause, he said softly: "But there is indeed no whereabouts of Lei Jun at the moment, and Yuan Mobai is a high-level master after all, and according to rumors, his strength is even higher than that of He Dongxing in Shushan..."
Shangguanpeng: "Accidents are everywhere. If everything follows common sense, there will be no accidents. The key is to have enough and accurate information and intelligence... When people want something, it is easy to get it."
In the cave of Zhenyi Dharma Altar, Lei Jun was lying on his side, holding his head with one hand and nodding slightly.
Although everyone has different positions, I basically agree with this.
Middle-aged captain: "General, let's go next..."
Shangguan Peng: "We need to prepare for the Tianshi Mansion, and we must not let go of the remnants of the previous dynasty. The latest news we have received so far is that you can go to Kongliu Mountain. There may be a secret camp there for the remnants of the previous dynasty."
He pondered for a moment and then reminded: "In the short term, you should not get close to the Silver Flute Rock area."
The middle-aged captain was shocked: "General..."
Shangguan Peng: "Well, there is also a camp for the remnants of the previous dynasty at Silver Flute Cave, but... although I can't be 100% sure, I got news that Xiong of the Blood River Sect probably went there after he left Lunan Valley. ”
Xiong Gang is an old man in the eighth heaven realm of the Blood River Sect. No one can compete with him. The middle-aged captain was alert: "Yes, general, I will keep the secret and restrain others at the same time."
He suddenly remembered something: "Since people are coming from Shushan, what about Xiong Gang?"
In the previous battle at Lu Nan Gu Yuan, it was Xiong Gang who killed Shushan Elder Jiang Dongyu.
Shangguan Peng: "Don't rush to inform them of Xiong Gang's whereabouts."
The middle-aged captain promised: "Yes, general."
Although he didn't say it clearly, Shangguan Peng obviously wanted to wait and see what happened at the Tianshi Mansion.
Although it would be inappropriate to focus all the "accidents" in Tianshi Mansion and Shu Mountain on Xiong Gang, it is not easy to grasp the whereabouts of an eighth-level master.
Shangguanpeng can only squeeze out as much value as possible now.
"After all, Yuan Mobai's cultivation level is only three days old, and Xiong Gang is not sure enough to keep him, so the focus is still on Lei Jun."
Shangguan Peng said: "I ordered you to go down and continue to collect information about Yuan Mobai and Lei Jun. Since they have come to the Southern Wilderness, they must have a plan and will not leave easily. If you have any information, please report it to me as soon as possible."
He himself had to go to the vicinity of Yindiyan to make some preparations.
"Yes, General." The middle-aged lieutenant obeyed.
In the Zhenyi Altar Cave, Lei Jun listened to the sound coming from the Qianli Sound Transmission Note gradually disappearing, and finally sat up.
He sat cross-legged on the dojo, holding his knees with both hands, with a smile on his face.
So that's it. The second lottery mentioned Yindiyan has opportunities and dangers. The danger seems to come from Xiong Gang, the Eighth Heaven Elder of the Blood River Sect.
We should be grateful that the Heavenly Master Seal has been revived, otherwise the threat brought by the Eighth Heaven strongman would never be a lottery.
But since it still indicates that this fate is dangerous, it means that hiding in the Zhenyi Altar Cave and facing the opponent of the Eighth Heaven cannot be said to be completely safe. There is still a risk of being discovered by the opponent, being caught by the opponent, or waiting for the rabbit.
But...
It sounds like General Shangguan doesn't know much about the situation in Zhaojiang.
Lei Jun left the Zhenyi Altar Cave and went directly to the Zhaojiang River Basin.
Although he was very curious about what the fourth-grade opportunity was at Kongliu Mountain, he would go to Zhaojiang first.
Of course, he had no intention of going directly to the upper or even lower reaches of Zhaojiang, but would go to the middle section of Zhaojiang first.
There might be the elder Xiong Gang of the Blood River Sect at Yindiyan. Lei Jun didn't know who was in the upper and lower reaches of Zhaojiang, but he knew that there was a sixth-grade opportunity in each of the upper and lower reaches of Zhaojiang.
Since God arranged it this way, we shouldn't waste it.
We can still be said to be our own people in general, and you, General Shangguan, are an official. I have always been law-abiding and served the court, and I am a first-class good citizen. Of course, I can't harm the important generals of the court, let alone engage in internal strife, which would make my relatives sad and my enemies happy.
Just as you, General Shangguan, want to use the fifth-grade opportunity of Yindiyan to entertain me, I will return the favor and give you a sixth-grade opportunity. This is what is called a gentleman's give and take, unity, friendship and mutual assistance.
Now there is only a small technical problem left. How to give General Shangguan this opportunity?
If he really wants to completely clear himself, Lei Jun can try to trade with Huo Yao, that is, Shen Qubing, under the guise of the exchange of information between the Seven Stars.
It doesn't matter what information Shen Qubing gives him. The key is that he can "sell" the information about himself or the descendants of the Sui Dynasty to Shen Qubing.
Then, through Shen Qubing's mouth, the information is passed to Shangguan Peng.
However, in this way, no matter what the result is on Shangguan Peng's side, Shen Qubing may be trapped.
Lei Jun and Shen Qubing have not had much contact, but they get along well, so he has no intention of dragging him into the water.
If he doesn't go through Shen Qubing, then he will start with Shangguan Peng himself.
As General Shangguan himself said, there is a saying that when there is no desire, one is strong, and when a person has something to ask for and it is known to the outside world, it is easy for the enemy to take advantage of it.
Of course, everyone in the Tianshi Mansion has something to ask for, and it is well known.
Not to mention that Longhu Mountain is not truly indifferent to the world, even if other aspects are truly indifferent to the world, they also hope to find the lost treasure of the master.
In the eyes of the world, it is the Heavenly Master Seal and Heavenly Master Robe.
Lei Jun and his apprentice came to the Southern Wilderness this time for this reason.
Later, they were involved in the turmoil brought by the descendants of the previous dynasty in Jiuli Secret Realm, Xinglongyuan, Baiquan Mountain and other places, all because of this, and more by chance.
If they heard the news of the Heavenly Master Robe on the way, they would definitely pay attention.
Yuan Mobai and Lei Jun, the master and apprentice, never concealed this point.
Then, this is where they have something in their hearts and cannot be strong without desire.
Starting from this aspect, it is possible to lead the master and apprentice into a trap.
Now the problem is.
General Shangguan, you also have something to ask for.
What I want is the clues related to the Heavenly Master Robe.
What you want is to trick me.
In order to plot against me, what I want is also what you want. You can plot against me only if you get what I want before I do.
Then...
Lei Jun walked alone silently and quietly arrived at the middle section of the Zhaojiang River Basin.
He was not in a hurry to show up, but first observed patiently and inquired about the situation.
The spheres of influence of the inheritance of several major witch gate holy places in the southern wilderness were intertwined. Lei Jun spent some time to confirm that the surrounding area was the sphere of influence of Yinshandong, the holy land of the witch gate Gu Shu lineage.
It is true that Yinshandong is currently at war with the Xuehe Sect, but as Lei Jun learned before, Yinshandong is not united.
The Gu Shu master inheritance of Hongyundong on both sides of the middle reaches of Zhaojiang River belongs to a branch that is not very interested in the mainstream forces of Yinshandong, and their attitude towards Wei Ancheng and Xuehe Sect is also relatively ambiguous.
Coincidentally, this branch of Gu Shu masters is an acquaintance of Lei Jun and Tianshi Mansion, and is a disciple of Yinshandong Elder Tian Linlong.
After Lei Jun waited for a while, he saw a Gu Shu master leaving the village, and immediately seized the opportunity and secretly waved his Xirang flag.
Then a stream of light flashing with nine colors fell into the rushing Zhaojiang River.
It was the nine-color light related to the Tianshi robe that Lei Jun mastered.
The nine-color light floated and sank in the river, and flew down the river at a rapid speed with the rushing river.
But the abundant spirituality of the nine-color light had attracted the attention of those Gu Shu masters at the first time, and someone immediately followed the river.
Lei Jun remained calm and secretly took the lead to intercept the nine-color light again.
Next, he just appeared publicly and intercepted several Gu Shu masters.
One of the Gu Shu masters was quite special. His cultivation level was not high, but he was holding an exquisite pottery jar, and the pottery jar emitted extraordinary spirituality.
Lei Jun approached and saw the pottery jar, and couldn't help but laugh: "Is this my good luck, or your bad luck?"
The rolling thunder swept past, and the young Gu magician holding the pottery jar turned into ashes together with the pottery jar, but many Gu insects flew out of the pottery jar.
One of the strange insects that looked like a beetle instantly grew larger and flashed with spiritual light, forming a protective shield to protect and block the other Gu insects.
The other many Gu insects flew in the air and condensed into a huge strange human face, with its mouth and nose opening and closing, speaking human words: "Ox-nosed Lei, it's you again?!"
That face clearly looked like Zhao Sen, a disciple of Tian Linlong.
In the mountains of the eastern section of Da Nanshan, Zhao Sen fought with the monk Ruyuan of Nan Bodhi, and was beaten into a pool of blood and flesh by Lei Jun with a stick.
Gu magicians do not focus on the physical body when practicing, and Zhao Sen's practice has reached a certain level, so even if the physical body is destroyed, he can still survive.
But after all, he failed to reach the upper three days level. Although Lei Jun's stick did not kill him, it also made Zhao Sen's practice difficult and he was in a dilemma.
With the help of his mentor Tian Linlong, Zhao Sen managed to stabilize his condition, placed his soul on the Gu worm, and slowly planned for the future development. He stayed in Hongyundong to practice hard, and on weekdays, young disciples held the pottery Gu jar.
Who would have thought that today, the enemy would meet Lei Jun again.
Lei Jun was not polite and immediately threw out several talismans in succession.
He had originally kept Zhao Sen alive and did not chase him to death in order to spread the news that his people were in the eastern section of Da Nanshan.
Now he appeared to spread the news that his people were in the Zhaojiang River Basin, so he would also keep him alive, but there were other Gu masters in Hongyundong, so Zhao Sen naturally did not need to be kept alive. This trip was just right to clean up the previous hand.
When keeping him alive, Lei Jun did not easily use some of his original spells, and used more orthodox methods passed down by the Tianshi Mansion.
Zhao Sen had lost his physical body, and escaped with the help of a large number of Gu worms. It seemed that he was not afraid of Lei Jun hitting him one by one with a stick again.
However, the Taoist talisman sect monks are known for their omnipotence in using different talismans to adapt to different battle situations.
Lei Jun did not use his own talisman techniques that covered a large area, such as the Yin Lei of Guishui and Yin Lei of Jitu, but used the long-standing reputation of the Five Thunders Orthodox Talisman, the Thunderbolt Talisman, and the Boundless Sea of Fire Talisman of the Tianshi Mansion, and still killed all around. In an instant, a large amount of thunder and fire covered and drowned many poisonous insects.
When he was in the Yuanfu and Daogong realms, he spent his energy to refine the Yin-Yang Double Evils and the Yin-Yang Two Gangs. The same spells in his hands were more powerful than those of other fellow disciples. Even if the Five Thunders Orthodox Talisman and the Thunderbolt Talisman were used by Lei Jun, they were not his natal talismans, but they were better than others' natal talismans.
Zhao Sen wanted to struggle, but was instantly blasted to pieces by Lei Jun. A large amount of thunder and fire turned this area into purgatory. None of the poison masters present could escape, and they were all killed by Lei Jun.
The remaining people in Hongyun Cave in the distance looked at this scene in horror, and trembled in a group for a while.
Lei Jun seemed to ignore them. After dealing with Zhao Sen and others, he headed for the lower reaches of Zhaojiang River.
It seemed that chasing the Nine-Colored Glory that was flowing downstream was what he valued most.
Of course, Lei Jun would not really go to the lower reaches of Zhaojiang River.
After showing his face, he quietly disappeared again and stayed away from the Zhaojiang River Basin.
The news that the Nine-Colored Glory and Lei Jun of Tianshi Mansion appeared in Zhaojiang River one after another spread quickly.
Lei Jun was not disappointed. General Shangguan was well-informed, had a keen sense of smell, and was very mobile. He quickly came to Zhaojiang area quietly.
When he arrived, Lei Jun patted his butt and left.
Whether General Shangguan would also flow downstream next, Elder Lei no longer paid attention.
To be fair, it was unknown whether the Nine-Colored Glory and himself appeared in Zhaojiang River one after another, and whether it would cause huge changes in the lower reaches of Zhaojiang River.
Therefore, it was also unknown whether Shangguan Peng would definitely be able to obtain the sixth-grade opportunity sent by Lei Jun in the lower reaches.
But as before, Lei Jun did not force the result.
Let everything go with the flow and let it go naturally.
As everyone saw, General Shangguan took the initiative to find Zhaojiang, but no one asked him to come.
