Chapter 30 Accelerate practice and save the price
Hearing that Lei Jun was "assigned" to the green graphite vein by Yuan Mobai, Fang Jian and Shangguan Hong couldn't come to their senses for a while.
After a long time, Shangguan Hong exclaimed: "Qing Shi, don't you mean that if you stay there for a long time, you will have...some..."
He hesitated to say the word "harm".
Fang Jian pondered: "Junior Brother Lei has to go for so long? Isn't it temporary?"
Wang Guiyuan: "That's indeed what the master ordered. Junior Brother Lei has already passed. I guess the master has his own arrangements."
Fang Jian wanted to ask, does Lei Jun himself know that it is harmful for low-level monks to be exposed to green graphite for a long time?
"Well, Junior Master's arrangement like this must have a deeper meaning that we don't know about." Fang Jian nodded: "In that case, I won't disturb you for now. I will say hello to Junior Junior Uncle next time."
Shangguan Hong also said goodbye and left.
Fang Jian returned to his residence.
In his house, another young Taoist priest was waiting, it was Li Xuan whose younger brother had died earlier.
"Green graphite mine?" Li Xuan was also stunned: "Really? Or is it just an excuse?"
Fang Jian sat down and said, "Go and have a look in a few days to confirm."
Li Xuan looked over: "Junior Brother Fang, do you think it could be..."
"have no idea."
Fang Jian said simply: "Although I have always heard that the senior sister and the junior junior uncle are quite compatible, the junior junior uncle gets along with everyone. What is the relationship between him and the senior sister? It's up to you to tell me the answer."
Li Xuan raised his head and looked at the roof: "My junior uncle and Xu Yuanzhen often have differences. They don't always advance and retreat together, venting their anger through the same nostril.
As you said, my junior uncle has many good relationships and gets along with everyone, even my father.
If he really wanted to say who he was going with, it should be with his uncle, that is, Master Qi. "
"That's true."
Fang Jian: "So, the senior sister went too far, and the junior junior uncle did not agree with it and was even dissatisfied?
That's not right, Junior Junior Uncle has always been open-minded, and even if he is really dissatisfied with Senior Sister, he will not make things difficult for Junior Brother Lei. "
Li Xuan: "Perhaps Junior Brother Lei has always been attracted to Xu Yuanzhen who brought him back to the mountain to lead him to Taoism, so he contradicted Junior Junior Uncle?"
He stood up: "Anyway, this news is very important, I will inform my father and senior brother!"
If Yuan Mobai and Xu Yuanzhen can be separated, the effect will be much greater than making a fuss about Lei Jun, a new disciple.
…………
"So, Master took the blame for me, and Senior Sister, you seem to have betrayed everyone?"
Lei Jun looked at Xu Yuanzhen.
Xu Yuanzhen: "When you are in the Third Heaven, draw their expressions and I will take a look at them when I go back to the mountain."
After Lei Jun met Yuan Mobai, she went on a long trip to the mountains again, waving her sleeves not to take away a single cloud.
"There are three people in the house, so don't guess what they are thinking. Most of your efforts will be in vain." Wang Guiyuan, who came to visit Lei Jun, sighed: "Uncle, the old man Tianshi, then senior sister, and then our master."
The two brothers were sitting in Master Yuan Mobai's private cave.
"Junior Brother Fang came here on his own." Wang Guiyuan said: "Junior Brother Shangguan, he may represent Uncle Shangguan and Senior Sister Zhang."
The noble image of Zhang Jingzhen, the third disciple of Tianshi, flashed through Lei Jun's mind.
During the Yunhai Xianchi Incident, we had close contact.
Speaking of which, if you include Tang Xiaotang, the planned disciple that everyone agrees to, there are five direct descendants of Li Tianshi in the current generation. Except for his own son Li Zhengxuan and his fourth disciple Fang Jian, the other three are all female disciples.
In this life, there is a slight increase in yin and a decline in yang.
In terms of the impression left on the outside world, the three women are all outstanding and can be called the new generation of Tianshi Mansion's signatures, which is very conducive to recruiting new students.
Purely in terms of appearance, Tang Xiaotang is the number one, with stunning appearance, incomparable beauty, and obvious height advantage.
But people are the most inconsistent.
Senior Sister Xu Yuanzhen not only has a slightly weird personality, but also has a cold aura around her, which makes people often ignore her gender and appearance.
Based on the results, it turned out that the third senior sister Zhang Jingzhen had a noble temperament and a beautiful appearance, and could not find any obvious problems.
According to the current general aesthetics of the world, a beautiful woman holding her head is a bonus.
However, Lei Jun is more concerned about another issue:
"Senior brother, is this 'Zhang' that Senior Sister Zhang refers to?"
There are many people with the surname Zhang in the world.
But there are a small number of them that are special.
As far as Lei Jun knows, the current royal family of the Tang Dynasty bears the surname Zhang.
After contacting Zhang Jingzhen, who was familiar with the Shangguan clan, Lei Jun made a guess.
"Yes, Senior Sister Zhang is a noblewoman of the royal family and was granted the title of princess. Her father and the late emperor are brothers."
Wang Guiyuan: "In other words, Senior Sister Zhang and the current Holy Master are cousins. She is also related to Senior Uncle Shangguan and Junior Brother Shangguan, so there is no problem in calling Shangguan Senior Uncle and Aunt directly."
Lei Jun nodded: "The Tang court royal family has made great efforts to our Tianshi Mansion."
Wang Guiyuan: "It won't work if we don't put in the effort. They don't. Some people have to put in the effort."
For example, Fang Jian, the fourth disciple of Tianshi, was born in the Jingxiang Fang clan.
In this world, the most prominent teaching in the practice world of the Tang Dynasty was neither Buddhism, Taoism, nor martial arts, but the Confucian way of practice.
Compared with them, Taoism, Buddhism and other spiritual traditions are currently more like opposition forces.
But strictly speaking, Confucianism does not completely represent the official state.
The relationship between the royal family and major Confucian families is difficult to describe.
There are many noble families in the Tang Dynasty, and most of the Confucian cultivation methods in the world are in the hands of aristocratic families. Every family secretly teaches them, and there are many masters.
The top aristocratic families, after years of accumulation, have power and influence that is still above the holy land sects.
What's more, it is often said that the emperor and the aristocratic families rule the world together.
There are seven most outstanding families, all of which have existed for thousands or even tens of thousands of years, and their history is still before the founding of the Tang Dynasty.
The seven major families are two leaves, two forests, one Xiao, one Chu, and one Fang.
The Fang family, also known as the Fang family, dominates Jingxiang, almost like a separatist regime, and has deep roots both in the court and in the opposition.
In recent years, under the rule of the Tang Dynasty, many sects and holy places have risen and become more prestigious. It is not without the intention of the Tang emperor to promote Buddhism and Taoism, cultivate civilian practitioners, and thus check and balance the aristocratic families.
But obviously, the aristocratic families are not idle.
The royal Zhang family and Shangguan family have disciples who enter the core of the Tianshi Mansion, and the Fang family also has disciples.
The major Buddhist and Taoist holy places have been supported by several generations of Tang emperors to check and balance the aristocratic families with bloodline Confucianism.
Among them, the Tianshi Mansion is quite special.
Although it has experienced several civil strife and has been seriously damaged, the Tianshi Mansion is still one of the most sacred Taoist sects in the world.
However, rumors have gradually spread among the world:
The Li family of Longhu Mountain in Xinzhou has a deep foundation and many talented people. It should be called the Eight Clans together with the traditional seven major clans.
Lei Jun: "Where there are people, there are factions and teams."
Wang Guiyuan: "Fortunately, there are the shade of the tree trunks of Master and Senior Sister. If we don't jump out, we can avoid getting wet in the rain."
Lei Jun nodded.
After bidding farewell to Wang Guiyuan, he returned to the mine under the private mansion to continue his practice.
It is said to be a mine pit, but it is more like another quiet cave.
Although a layer of faint green light appeared on the rocks in the cave, it was not scary. Instead, there was a kind of quiet warmth full of spring.
Lei Jun placed a few pieces of dark broken stones at his side, and they flashed a faint green light. It was the bluestone that made Shangguan Hong and Fang Jian change color.
When he first came into contact with it, Lei Jun could indeed feel that although this blue graphite had the wonderful effect of further stabilizing the foundation of Taoism and making the magic power more pure, it would damage his physical body and blood.
The two-phase effect, the result is that it can indeed help the cultivators in the foundation-building realm to improve faster, but the adverse effects will first appear when the second heaven is promoted to the third heaven.
If he rushes to break through the chasm of heaven to survive the catastrophe at that time, let alone survive it, he will probably die directly under the catastrophe due to the decline of blood and qi.
Moreover, the effect of blue graphite is as stubborn as a maggot on the tarsal bone. After being eroded by the flesh and blood, it is difficult for the cultivator to heal and make up for it through other means.
Of course, nothing is absolute in the world, and the Great Evolution of the Forty-Nine is useless.
The rare exception is the mist cloud crystal in Lei Jun's hand.
The mist cloud crystal is still attached to the Soul-Gathering Talisman, but with this Soul-Gathering Talisman in hand, the blue graphite refined by Lei Jun during his practice will no longer erode his flesh and blood.
So as Yuan Mobai expected, Lei Jun can use blue graphite to accelerate the further improvement of his own foundation.
But immune to the costs of its side effects.
