Chapter 279 Chapter 278 The Long-Awaited Bad Fortune (Two Chapters in One)

Chapter 279 278. The long-lost bad fortune (two chapters in one)

"Yes, Your Majesty.

Although in front of the Queen, Xiao Xueting was more casual and asked curiously: "Your Majesty, aren't the people on Xiao Meng's side from the Human Dao Kingdom?"

The Queen began to review the memorial again, and casually said: "It's not impossible, it's better to try it now."

Xiao Xueting agreed.

She added: "Your Majesty, there is one more thing, but the news has not been verified."

Queen: "What?"

Xiao Xueting: "Chen Yi, the abandoned disciple of the Tianshi Mansion, there was news that someone saw him on the coast of the East China Sea, but his whereabouts were unknown afterwards."

Queen: "It doesn't matter, I already know where he is now."

Xiao Xueting: "People in the Human Dao Kingdom are also looking for him, and he is hiding from here and there. In addition to avoiding the pursuit of the court and the Tianshi Mansion, he is also hiding from people in the Human Dao Kingdom. His relationship with the Human Dao Kingdom seems to be somewhat different from what was expected before. ”

Empress: “Fu Dongsen, Zhou Peng and others didn’t see the treasure clearly, so they lost it. It will take more effort to make up for it.”

…………………

In Luoyang, the imperial capital, Xiao Chunhui received the order from his sister Xiao Xueting, and went to find Meng Shaojie.

“Teacher.” Meng Shaojie saluted Xiao Chunhui.

Xiao Chunhui smiled and nodded: “Qingyan, no need to be polite.”

He first asked Meng Shaojie about his homework, and then got straight to the point: “I have something here, try to pass it to that mysterious person.”

Meng Shaojie is now quite calm in this regard.

He realized that he acted as a bridge between Xiao Chunhui and the mysterious master of the dark universe of the Book of Heaven.

But this made him feel more at ease to deal with that mysterious existence.

Meng Shaojie took a jade disk from Xiao Chunhui and looked at it with some curiosity: “Sir, is this also a thing of the ancient talisman school? ”

Xiao Chunhui nodded: "This item is called the Twenty-Eight Rhymes of the Stars. It was originally obtained by your majesty accidentally and stored in the inner treasury. The jade disk contains the ancient Taoist talismans and rhymes, which were passed down by the ancient talisman school. It should meet the needs of the other party. You can submit it and try your luck. ”

Meng Shaojie agreed, and then immersed himself in the dark universe of the book through the Dark Star Hidden Star Jidu.

He left a message for Lei Jun, looking forward to Lei Jun's reply.

After seeing it, Lei Jun pondered for a while, and then agreed to Meng Shaojie's request.

After the two sides agreed on a place, Lei Jun informed the senior sister Xu Yuanzhen: "Senior sister, I am going to trade with this young man with the Haoran Yunhui you gave me."

Xu Yuanzhen said casually: "You can do it yourself."

Lei Jun: "Senior sister, are you interested in the Twenty-Eight Rhymes of the Stars?"

Xu Yuanzhen: "Generally, let's talk about it when I have time when I return to the mountain in the future. "

She did not plan to return to Longhu Mountain soon this time, but planned to continue to wander outside.

On the one hand, she searched for traces left by Rong Guangchen, and on the other hand, she wandered around as usual.

In fact, Xu Yuanzhen was in the Beiguang Mountain area where Rong Guangchen suppressed Wang Xuan before.

Also there were the elders of Chunyang Palace, Lv Jinduan and others who came here again.

Everyone was familiar with Xu Yuanzhen's style of doing things. Lv Jinduan and others turned a blind eye to her wandering around Beiguang Mountain. Only one eye.

Lei Jun did not intend to show up, thus completely disassociating himself from Chen Donglou's appearance.

After ending contact with Xu Yuanzhen, Lei Jun went to the place where he had agreed to meet Meng Shaojie.

Considering the recent incident with Rong Guangchen and the Heavenly Palace Talisman, Lei Jun was more cautious than before in hiding his whereabouts to avoid running into the Tang court's imperial family fishing.

Although Xiao Chunhui did not make any special moves this time, making Taoist Lei's actions look like a battle of wits and courage with the air, Lei Jun, adhering to the consideration that it is better to be cautious, did not pay attention to the other party's No action, just focus on yourself without revealing any flaws.

After getting the jade disk, Lei Jun found a safe and hidden place to experience the mystery of the twenty-eight rhymes of the stars.

Xiao Chunhui and even the Queen Zhang Wantong behind Meng Shaojie did not fool around.

The twenty-eight rhymes of the stars are indeed derived from the ancient talisman school.

Lei Jun completely sealed off a mountainous area with the Xirang Flag and listened quietly to the sound of the rhymes.

The Xuanxu Mirror, which also originated from the ancient talisman school, was suspended above Lei Jun's head at this moment. The bright mirror light turned around and was in the air. It seemed to condense into substance.

Those sounds also seemed to condense into entities.

The mirror light seemed like the universe, and the sounds manifested the image of the twenty-eight constellations, flashing in the universe.

Lei Jun looked at the brilliance of the twenty-eight constellations, and in his mind he recalled the scene of the vast celestial river when he offered sacrifices to the heavens with the two memorials in the Wanfa Sect Altar.

Comparing the two, Lei Jun seemed to manifest a star map in front of him.

The star map guided, the void changed, but the current direction was still hazy.

"Three Enclosures and Twenty-Eight Mansions... Does it mean that the star map is still incomplete? "Lei Jun seemed to be thinking about something.

He observed it carefully for a moment, realized the changes, memorized all the signs, and then dispersed the star map.

In the air, there was only the sound of ancient and grand music flowing.

Lei Jun had another thing in his hand.

A white jade tablet.

This was also a treasure left by Meng Shaojie, or from the ancient talisman school of the Tang court.

Lei Jun weighed it in his hand and pondered for a long time.

After he collected his thoughts, he waved his hand again, and the music stopped.

Lei Jun put away the jade disk and the tablet together.

In addition to some secrets that may be involved in the heavenly palace, the twenty-eight rhymes of the stars inherit the mysteries of the ancient Fulu Sect and also have many wonderful uses for the monks of the Fulu Sect.

Of course, due to the changes in ancient and modern Taoism, the differences need to be carefully distinguished and pondered by the monks themselves.

Overall, it is helpful to Lei Jun's practice, but it is not as critical as Bajingfeng.

The main effect is to further help Lei Jun understand the mysteries of Ming Gongren's calligraphy urn and Dou Mu Star God's Dharma image at a deeper level.

On this basis, Lei Jun remotely sensed Tianchen and further figured out the Great Zhou Tianyu.

However, Lei Jun was not disappointed. The Twenty-Eight Rhymes of the Constellations might be of great use to another person's practice.

"Junior brother, if you have time, go out to the mountain." He informed his junior brother Chu Kun: "There is something good."

They are brothers who communicate with each other and take care of each other. Now they have become accustomed to it.

Chu Kun went out after hearing the news and got the jade from Lei Jun. He didn't ask much about the origin, but was just pleasantly surprised: "Well, it is indeed a good thing. Thank you, senior brother!"

Like Lei Jun, his basic physique was improved through the day after tomorrow and is called the Sacred Body of the Stars.

In his daily practice, he often relies on the power of the stars. The twenty-eight rhymes of the stars are more effective for him.

"In order to preserve the Tao Yuan in it, I have not made any deletions. You should pay attention to it when practicing. After the Tao method has been changed, the current Taoism of our sect is very different from the ancient times." Lei Jun warned.

Chu Kun nodded repeatedly: "Senior brother, don't worry, I won't have to worry."

Lei Jun nodded: "That's good. You can take this treasure back to the mountain to practice meditation. I will leave the things to you. You can do with them as you like. I have written down the Tao Yun, and I can refer to it with my senior sister later." "

Chu Kun: "Senior brother, don't you want to go back to the mountain with me now?"

He looked more solemn: "Senior brother, are you going to join Master in the Southern Wilderness?"

The Tang Dynasty was not peaceful.

The two biggest recent news, one from the South and the other from the North, are both disturbing.

To the north, Rong Guangchen, the Qinglong elder of Chunyang Palace, also defected and joined the human world, causing huge controversy and shock.

The south is even more mysterious. There are rumors that the black mist that was originally limited to the vicinity of Jiuli Secret Realm has been expanding recently.

"I intend to go to the Southern Wilderness and support Master." Lei Jun nodded: "Although we are curious about the specific situation of Earth Sea and Jiuli, the current situation is unknown and we will not set foot there easily."

Chu Kun breathed a sigh of relief: "That's good, that's good."

The two brothers chatted for a few more words and then said goodbye. Lei Jun walked southwest, and Chu Kun returned to the ancestral court of Shanmen.

Thinking of the relationship with Jiuli, the mysterious Earth Sea, and the signs of Xumi in the Western Region, Chu Kun was in a trance for a while.

Returning to his Tianshi Mansion, sitting in his mansion, Chu Kun raised his hand.

This time, he did not tap his eyebrows with his fingers. Instead, he put his hands on his forehead and looked up at the roof, thinking silently.

………………

The whole north and south of the Tang Dynasty were shaken, and people from all over the country were paying attention.

Several monks from the Western Regions were on their way to Chunyang Palace as guests, but when they came to the door, they encountered another change.

Chunyang Palace was uneasy inside and could not receive outside guests, so it had no choice but to apologize to Master Sangye, Suoyang and Longjia for being rude.

Sanjie and others acted quite politely and did not bother to say hello to Lu Jinduan and others. They only said that they would not bother them again if they had a chance next time, and then left confidently.

Although they no longer went to Chunyang Palace, they did not leave Zhongnan Mountain immediately. Instead, they stayed outside Zhongnan Mountain and waited for news through various channels.

In a sense, they saw a good show.

The news announced by Chunyang Palace only mentioned that Rong Guangchen was a member of the human world, and the details were limited.

Master Sangye and others waited for a while to gather the true and false information collected from various channels to learn more details.

For example, the most important point is that Rong Guangchen received the Tiangong Fuzhao's legal mandate and "returned to youth".

"This is strange. If the Heavenly Court still exists, how can Rong Guangchen, Fu Dongsen and others be so timid?"

Master Sangjie also had questions: "If there is no more heaven, where will Rong Guangchen get the talisman and the law?"

Master Longjia stood silently aside.

Suoyang, the abbot of Vajra Temple, asked: "Master, does Sumeru have more to say about heaven?"

Master Sangye: "As far as I know, Heaven should be gone long ago, but Rong Guangchen's current situation seems to indicate that the situation is unusual."

Master Longjia said softly: "I heard that several masters are about to descend from Sumeru to the world?"

Master Sanjie nodded: "It is indeed true, but the heads of the five tribes have already reached a conclusion. On the Tang Dynasty, stability is the priority. Only our Vajra Division has settled in in a short period of time.

Although several masters are coming, which will be very helpful for promoting Buddhism, we still cannot control everything, especially to avoid making enemies on many sides.

It would be best to first obtain the support of the central government of the Tang Dynasty, establish the status of the state religion and legality, and then gradually implement it. "

He glanced at Suo Yang and Master Longjia and his entourage: "The so-called Taoist kingdom on earth is naturally a different furnace from ours, but the situation has undergone new changes. We will wait and see the changes to discern the truth, and do not act impatiently."

Suoyang and Master Longjia both nodded.

"The Zen sect in the Tang Dynasty is currently weak, so we can leave it aside for now."

Suo Yang said: "As for the Taoist sect, there is a tendency to rise. Fortunately, there are serious sectarian conflicts within them. The Shushan sect and Chunyang Palace were both severely damaged. Now there are new changes in the Taoist country in the world. It is a good time to see how the three sects of Taoism will fare. In response, let them explore the reality of the world."

Master Longjia warned: "As the most prominent school of thought in this world for many years, although it has weakened recently, it seems to be accumulating knowledge. We must be on guard, especially since several major families have begun to ease relations with the Tang court in the past two years."

Master Sangjie nodded and pondered in silence.

Master Longjia was a little regretful: "Although the south is desolate and the people are ignorant, it is not a bad place to go. Unfortunately, it suddenly involves the return of the Jiuli people to the human world, and the situation immediately becomes complicated."

Master Sangjie said frankly: "Yes, the sea of ​​​​earth is mysterious, and there is no detailed news even on Xumi. Now that the Jiuli have returned to the human world, we must be more cautious."

In other words, let the Tang Dynasty or someone else find out first.

The Xumi Vajra tribe has now descended on the Western Regions of the Tang Dynasty. It is hard to say whether the timing is good or bad.

The human world involves the legendary heaven.

The Jiuli have also returned to the southern wilderness.

From the negative side, whether it is the Great Wu of Jiuli or the Dao Kingdom that wants to rebuild the Heavenly Palace on earth, they are all enemies of the Western Regions Buddhism.

The Western Regions Buddhism can slowly infiltrate the Tang Dynasty royal family.

But the Dao Kingdom, the Great Wu of Jiuli and the Confucian school are fundamentally in conflict with the intentions of the Western Regions Buddhism, and they are the real enemies of each other.

However, there are two sides to the matter.

It is precisely because of such a complicated situation that the Western Regions Buddhism did not immediately become the target of public criticism after its rise.

They have time and space to infiltrate the Tang Dynasty with gentle means according to the established strategy.

From a certain perspective, it may not be a bad thing to drag it on like this... Master Sangjie thought to himself.

Whether things can be accomplished depends not only on means, but also on strength.

And opportunities.

"So, we should not act rashly at the moment. We should maintain the situation with other sects on the surface, and secretly push them to compete with each other to see who is stronger and who is weaker."

Master Sangjie: "However, it does not mean that we are timid and do nothing. In addition to continuing to befriend the Tang Dynasty court, there is a place where we can start to deal with it first."

Abbot Suoyang and Master Longjia looked at each other and understood: "White Lotus Sect?"

The Dakong Temple suffered heavy losses. There are rumors that Abbot Yuanmie was forced to lead the remaining people to retreat overseas again.

Their whereabouts are extremely secretive and difficult to find, and the Western Buddhist sects are also difficult to gain.

And another Buddhist sect, although it has been hiding under the table for many years, is now a bigger target and has revealed more clues.

"Yes, the White Lotus Sect."

Master Sangjie said: "I just got news from the ministry that someone from the White Lotus Sect appeared in the Southern Wilderness. I am going to take a look and hope to catch more clues."

The White Lotus Sect is a traitor that the Tang Dynasty court has publicly announced.

As rebels, they can hardly speak in common with Huang Tian Dao, Dakong Temple, and even the Dao Kingdom of the World.

For the Western Regions Buddhism, the White Lotus Sect is also a foreign sect.

Attacking the White Lotus Sect not only meets their own demands, but also has a common language with the Tang Dynasty officials. The other party also lacks other foreign aid. At present, it is undoubtedly the most suitable target for the Western Regions Buddhism.

"Brother Suoyang, please go back to the temple to explain why we went north this time. Brother Longjia, go south with me." Master Sangjie said.

Abbot Suoyang and Master Longjia did not object to this.

Master Sangjie looked a little more serious and added: "Although the Tang Dynasty Zen Sect is currently weak, don't be careless. The current spiritual energy tide in this world is surging, and the changes in all parties are unpredictable..."

Abbot Suoyang and Master Longjia heard this, and their hearts were slightly awed.

It has been so long since the return of the Xumi Vajra tribe, and the Vajra Temple has been restored. With personal experience and more information, I know that many things that are almost mythical actually exist.

Xumi is like this.

Saha and Wujian are also like this.

…………………

Cangzhou.

The former Jinzhou Ye clan, far away from their homeland, moved here as a whole clan to rebuild their foundation.

The ancestral temple in the ancestral land was rebuilt soon.

But the continuation of the cultural context and the laying of the foundation cannot be achieved in just a few years or a dozen years.

The new Cangzhou Ye clan still needs years of accumulation.

The Tang Dynasty was turbulent and changed continuously. In recent years, the Cangzhou Ye clan has always kept a low profile and quietly recuperated.

In the ancestral land, Ye Wei, who has taken over the position of clan leader, sat in the main seat.

The special environment and special period made him feel not in power, but treading on thin ice.

His son Ye Feishan, who is mature at a young age, has assisted his grandfather and father in handling clan affairs in recent years, and his temperament has become more and more stable.

"Chen Yi has already gone to sea." Ye Feishan reported.

Ye Wei nodded: "The news of the so-called human world is still to be closely followed."

Ye Feishan promised: "Yes, father."

Although the Ye family was forced to move from Jinzhou to Cangzhou, it was thanks to the Tianshi Mansion.

But the emergence of the human world immediately raised the threat to a very threatening level in the minds of the Ye family.

The establishment of the human world is not only a threat to the Tang Dynasty, but also a serious threat to the status of Confucianism as the most prominent school in the world.

"In the South Wilderness, it has been confirmed that the people of Jiuli have new actions, which are more presumptuous than before." Ye Feishan said.

Ye Wei nodded and ordered: "Go to Youzhou to see your grandfather and report all the news."

Although the daily affairs of the clan are currently handled by Ye Wei, when encountering such a major event, the old clan leader Ye Moquan's opinion must still be sought.

Ye Feishan bid farewell to his father, left Cangzhou, and immediately went north to Youzhou.

Ye Moquan, the old patriarch of the Ye clan, has been recuperating in Youzhou and living in seclusion in Prince Zhao's mansion for many years since the war.

Now, he looks fine, and no longer weak after the battle.

After listening to Ye Feishan's report quietly, Ye Moquan did not speak immediately.

After a long time, the old man said: "Feishan, what do you think is the most important thing for the continuation of our family's inheritance?"

Ye Feishan answered without hesitation: "To answer my grandfather, it is blood and family learning."

Ye Moquan: "It's people."

Ye Feishan looked up at the old man in front of him: "Grandfather..."

Ye Moquan: "Now is a time of great change. The continuation of our family should be cautious and make many preparations."

He looked very calm, even a little serene: "Family learning and family reputation are important, but the most important thing is still people."

Ye Feishan said softly: "You mean, the fifteenth uncle?"

His fifteenth uncle is the elder of Shushan Sect, Ye Dongming.

"That's just one example, not all." Ye Moquan said.

Ye Feishan: "Yes, grandfather."

Ye Moquan nodded gently.

The room was quiet for a while.

In Ye Feishan's impression, his grandfather had more and more long thoughts like this.

The current situation in the Tang Dynasty is changing so fast that even his grandfather needs to grasp it carefully...

"How is the capital?"

After a long time, Ye Moquan asked again.

Ye Feishan: "Qingzhou and Suzhou have made very small moves. His Royal Highness is prudent and has done nothing wrong."

Although it was not his choice, Ye Moquan still said: "At present, it is the best way to deal with nothing wrong."

Ye Feishan agreed: "The current Majesty has stayed in the old capital for a long time. Although His Royal Highness is in the imperial capital to supervise the country, he has the opportunity to stretch his hands and feet, but who knows if His Majesty did it on purpose to lure you into a trap?"

Ye Moquan: "Your Majesty, it doesn't matter what you think, as long as you give us time."

Ye Feishan: "Yes."

He reported another thing: "Grandfather, the monk Huizhen of the White Lotus Sect has successfully reached the upper three levels, and his cultivation has been stable."

Huizhen is another young latecomer in the White Lotus Sect after the future Maitreya.

On the surface, his rise seems to be a happy event for the White Lotus Sect.

But in fact, it may be different.

As early as the Huaishan Rebellion, there were people in the White Lotus Sect who did their own thing...

"Help Master Jingshan and Master Huizhen more." Ye Moquan ordered.

Ye Feishan understood: "Yes."

Ye Moquan: "There is no problem with your handling of the other side, but Chen Yi still needs to be careful about the current situation."

Ye Feishan: "Yes, grandfather."

He left.

Later, another person visited the quiet room where Ye Moquan lived.

"Your Highness." Ye Moquan saluted.

The visitor looked young, only about 40 years old, and was the second best master of the Tang Dynasty royal family, Zhao Wang Zhang Teng.

"Brother Ye, please don't be polite." Zhao Wang said.

Ye Moquan looked at Zhao Wang and asked softly: "Is your Highness ready?"

Zhao Wang: "Yes."

…………………

After saying goodbye to his junior brother Chu Kun, Lei Jun contacted his master Yuan Mobai.

Yuan Mobai was in the Southern Wilds, but he did not rashly approach the Jiuli Secret Realm. He was also paying close attention to the spread of the black fog.

Lei Jun and Yuan Mobai agreed to meet at a place called Gaoxu Mountain in the Southern Wilds.

He went south all the way, leaving the territory of the Tang Dynasty and arriving in the Southern Wilds.

However, on the way to Gaoxu Mountain, the light ball in Lei Jun's mind suddenly flickered, and words appeared:

[A group of evil people were dancing, blood was floating in the Southern Wilds, compassion was hidden, and good and bad luck were saved by themselves. ]

Then, four fortunes flew out of the light ball.

Lei Jun read the fortunes and raised his eyebrows immediately:

[Win the lottery, go to Gaoxu Mountain via Yutiandong, Youning Lake, and other areas outside the Chaos River Valley, no extra gains or losses, flat. ]

[Win the lottery, go to Gaoxu Mountain via Yutiandong, have a chance to get a fifth-grade opportunity, ups and downs, there are storms, be cautious, flat. ]

[A medium-low sign. Go to Gaoxu Mountain via Youning Lake. There is a chance to get a sixth-grade opportunity. There are many dangers. Be extremely cautious. It is bad. ]

[A very bad sign. Go to Gaoxu Mountain via Dunjiang Valley. There is a chance to get a fifth-grade opportunity. However, there will be a series of disasters. There is no way to escape. There is no way to survive. It is very bad! ]

Based on my current cultivation strength, this is a very bad sign... Lei Jun was murmured in his heart.
