Chapter 309 Chapter 308 The Second Floor of the Eighth Heaven, the Middle Scene of the Divine Court (Three Chapters in One)
Chapter 309 308. The second layer of the Eighth Heaven, the middle scene of the Divine Court (three-in-one chapter)
The Taoist talisman sect cultivators reach the eighth heaven realm and cultivate the Divine Court. This is to condense their own Taoist knowledge, combine their souls and spirits, and create their own world in the body, which corresponds to the natural world and universe outside, so it is called the inner scene of the Divine Court.
The next step of cultivation is to expand the inner scene of the Divine Court and make it more complete, from a rough prototype to a real universe.
The Divine Court in Lei Jun's body seemed to be divided into two halves before, but it was not really split, but like the Tai Chi Yin and Yang fish, they were mutually generated and opposite.
At this moment, under Lei Jun's control, all the methods he had successfully cultivated were presented one by one.
The Dou Mu Star God Dharma Image, the Nine Heavens Thunder Ancestor Dharma Image, the Xuan Xiao Thunder Ancestor Dharma Image, the Nine Abyss Flame Ancestor Dharma Image and the Tianchen Flame Ancestor Dharma Image stood side by side.
The two-element primordial magnetic talisman, the heaven-connecting and earth-penetrating talisman, the spiritual official talisman, the heaven-traveling talisman and the talisman formed by the ring of stars coexist.
In addition to these natal talismans, the other talisman methods that Lei Jun knew also turned into dots of spiritual light, hanging around.
As Lei Jun's mind moved, these talismans began to increase further and then split.
All the talismans became double at this moment.
However, the split sides fell into Lei Jun's divine court, which was vaguely divided into two halves, corresponding to each other from a distance.
There was only one altar, unique, in the center of the divine court that was vaguely divided into two halves but still intact.
The altar was divided into three layers, round on the top and octagonal on the bottom, flashing purple, gold and blue light.
This altar was the fundamental method of Lei Jun's practice of Taoism, "The True One Dao Sutra of the Righteous Dharma", which was the foundation of all dharmas.
After Lei Jun reached the realm of the Eighth Heavenly Divine Court, he obtained all seven volumes of the "True One Dao Sutra of the True Dharma" passed down by the Tianshi Mansion.
Under cultivation, unity and integration.
With this altar as the core hub of the Divine Court, this inner universe began to grow gradually.
Separated on both sides, the talismans of various methods, which were exactly the same and complete, flashed with brilliance, all had their own trajectories and moved slowly.
Lei Jun himself sat in meditation and breathed in and out, and at this moment, purple, gold, and blue brilliance began to appear on his body.
His skin was instantly warm and transparent like jade, then returned to normal, and then regenerated related changes, and this cycle continued.
The clear air that seemed to be engraved with red inscriptions flew out of the purple gourd. After being absorbed by Lei Jun, the purple gourd flashed with brilliance, turned into dots of light, and automatically dissipated in the air.
After being absorbed by Lei Jun, the clear air fell into his Divine Court and began to be continuously refined.
Under the influence of this pure air, the speed of change in Lei Jun's divine court began to accelerate.
"The ancestral catastrophe was born, more than 99,000 Brahma Qi. The red book glowed, 668 true texts, because of the chaos red text, the nine heavens were opened, and the era of the jade calendar was divided into five catastrophes. The heavenly meridians and the earthly latitudes are the ancestor of creation. The pivot of yin and yang, the ancestor of outstanding thunder..."
Lei Jun silently recited the Taoist scriptures.
The pure air formed by the Brahma Qi fairy gourd was divided into two parts, upward and downward, penetrating his divine court.
One was high up in the sky.
The other was the ancestor of creation.
Along with this process, Lei Jun's divine court was constantly expanding and improving.
At the same time, the inner universe on this side also constantly resonated with the real universe of the outside world.
His divine court seemed to be really divided into two at this time, and the upper and lower parts were compared.
As if they were reflections of each other.
At the same time, it was also compared with the real universe of the outside world.
Lei Jun's cultivation gave him a deeper understanding of the principles of nature and his own Dao realm.
At night, the night sky was full of stars.
Lei Jun was practicing in silence, and the upward part of his divine palace seemed to have turned into a starry sky with stars visible.
In the daytime, after greeting Yuan Mobai and Tang Xiaotang, he quietly went down and entered the ground vein under Longhu Mountain without disturbing other fellow disciples in the mansion.
In the ground vein, Lei Jun sat quietly beside the long river of spiritual energy, silently comprehending the flow of luck.
At this moment, the mountains, rivers and land were like a whole in Lei Jun's eyes.
And this whole also has the way to rotate and move.
The massive magnetic force from it began to become clear in Lei Jun's eyes.
The so-called origin of the warp and weft is no longer unfathomable.
Under resonance and comparison, the downward condensed part of Lei Jun's divine palace seemed like the core of the Nine Abyss, and the magnetic track could be seen.
In the process of day and night alternation and the reversal of heaven and earth, the inner scene of the divine court in Lei Jun's body began to become more and more stable and clear from the initial rough prototype.
"Well, it's starting to take shape." Lei Jun nodded slightly.
Next, it is to accumulate continuously, making the starry sky and geomagnetism more complete, and making the entire inner scene of the divine court more and more powerful.
Until the moment of finally achieving the middle scene of the divine court.
The framework is set, and the next step is some quiet and hard work.
The Brahma Qi Immortal Gourd, in addition to helping him lay the framework more smoothly, can also shorten the time required for cultivation in the future.
Lei Jun stayed in the mountains for the next few days.
In addition to fulfilling his duties as a high-level elder, assisting Tang Xiaotang, Yuan Mobai and others in acting for the affairs of the mansion and teaching his apprentice Zhuo Baojie, he practiced quietly.
In the summer of this year, Taoist Master Lei celebrated his 50th birthday.
And his eldest apprentice Zhuo Baojie, in less than four years after receiving the talisman, successfully formed the Yuan Fu and reached the fourth level of cultivation in the Taoist talisman school.
Its progress is extremely fast.
However, Lei Jun and others were not surprised.
This rolling head has extraordinary talent, especially in terms of physical strength. His previous rapid progress in cultivation was the process of him fulfilling his own foundation.
It's just that the fourth level of the Fulu Sect is more inclined to the cultivation of the soul than the life skills.
So Zhuo Baojie's novice benefits have come to an end for the time being.
"Be cautious and cautious, and take steady steps. Don't be anxious because the next practice is not as smooth as before."
Lei Jun looked at the little guy in front of him, who was furry and exposed the sleeves and collar of his crimson Taoist robe: "Don't think about the future when you reach the fifth level of the Tiandao Palace, you will turn to the practice of physical life skills again, and you can usher in a good life. You must know that you must have lofty ambitions and be down-to-earth. At any time, you must take the road ahead first."
Zhuo Baojie looked solemn and serious, with two little paws clasped in front of his chest, and saluted to Lei Jun: "Disciple will follow the master's teachings."
Lei Jun nodded slightly.
Maybe Zhuo Baojie will have other opportunities in the future.
But during the next practice, he should keep his mind stable.
The little bear opposite said again: "Master, regarding the first method of my life, I want to choose the stepping on the Gang and fighting."
Lei Jun nodded: "Okay."
It is not just the inherent tradition of Lei Jun and his branch. Throughout the Tianshi Mansion, stepping on the Gang and fighting is one of the most popular choices with the highest probability.
For Zhuo Baojie, who prefers the physical life line, stepping on the Gang and fighting is the most suitable first method of his life.
After the three-level heaven created the soul-devouring talisman, he returned to the orthodox route when he reached the fourth level.
Although, he insisted on not changing into a human form, and the way he stepped on the Dou Chaozhen looked a little funny...
"Has my nephew Baobao reached the level of the third day of cultivation?" Chu Kun returned to the mountain gate these two days and saw Lei Jun teaching Zhuo Baojie to practice stepping on the Gang and fighting, and couldn't help asking with a smile.
Zhuo Baojie walked around the altar, returned to his original position, stopped, and then saluted Chu Kun in a proper manner: "Uncle Master."
Lei Jun: "You came back later than expected. Did the relocation of your relatives go smoothly?"
Chu Kun shook his head first: "No, because of some other things, it was delayed for a while."
He asked: "What is the eldest brother busy with now?"
Lei Jun: "He should be practicing in seclusion. He is not in seclusion."
He told his disciple Zhuo Baojie to practice in seclusion next, and then he and Chu Kun left the house and went to Wang Guiyuan's residence.
Wang Guiyuan saw Chu Kun coming back and asked: "Third Junior Brother came back a little late this time, are you okay?"
Chu Kun: "Don't worry, Senior Brother, I didn't encounter any danger. I came back a little late this time, and I stayed in the coastal area for a while to help with disaster relief."
After the three brothers sat down, he said: "This time, a huge change occurred in the East China Sea, with tsunamis one after another, and the coastal areas were greatly disturbed. Fortunately, the court arranged people to prepare early."
However, there are also problems.
There was some corruption, as expected.
It even affected the disaster relief, so Chu Kun stayed in the local area to help protect the levee and prevent tsunamis, so he returned to the mountain late.
He was with Fang Yue.
Fang Yue originally planned to return to Jianye to continue the establishment of the new academy, and he also stayed to help this time.
For practitioners, the civilian disaster relief grain is not very good.
But among the materials used to reinforce the seawall to intercept tsunamis, there are many natural treasures with great use.
Afterwards, the Tang court generally took a severe attitude.
However, on the other hand...
"Some masters of Tianlong Temple have a big appetite..." Chu Kun said, while quietly observing Wang Guiyuan's expression.
Although he had heard a lot of elders or older people talking about the right and wrong of Tianlong Temple when he was in the Chu clan, this personal experience still surprised Chu Kun.
The seawall is long, and in addition to the government officials, there are also other local forces who do levee protection and disaster relief.
Yuhang, Mingzhou, Songjiang and other places are basically under the control of the two major local forces of Suyang, the Chu tribe and the Tianlong Temple.
As a result, the news also came out.
Lei Jun heard this and looked at Wang Guiyuan.
Wang Guiyuan looked normal and did not seem surprised: "How many people are there?"
Chu Kun: "Not many have been confirmed, only a few people, but Master Faping, who is in charge of the team, and Elder Miaohui who came later to deal with related matters... well, they care more about their disciples."
In other words, they are protecting their shortcomings, and may even cover up... Lei Jun understood.
In that case, it is hard to say how many people are involved.
But there is a problem.
"The practice of Tianlong Temple is a lineage of Buddhist vows..." Lei Jun turned his head and looked at Wang Guiyuan.
Wang Guiyuan sighed: "People are different, and their wishes are different. Making a wish and fulfilling a wish does not always result in good results. Of course, it is impossible to say that there is no impact at all."
Lei Jun: "It seems that the impact is not very big."
Although Monk Faping is not as good as Faming, he is also a high monk of Tianlong Temple at the level of the upper three heavens. He is the leader of the team that brought disciples from the temple to protect the embankment and provide disaster relief.
As for Elder Miaohui, he is a veteran of Tianlong Temple of the same generation as Abbot Miaoxin and Elders Miaokong and Miaoyi, with a cultivation level of the eighth heaven.
Lei Jun couldn't help wondering, have they always been like this, or have they slowly changed to what they are now?
"People are different." Wang Guiyuan repeated this sentence: "In recent years, I heard that the atmosphere in the temple has improved a little."
Lei Jun immediately remembered Wang Guiyuan's simple evaluation of Abbot Miaoxin.
He thought: "Abbot Miaoxin, can we handle this matter?"
Chu Kun beside him also thought of something: "Elder Miaohui's mentor is Master Yunhui, the Grand Elder of Tianlong Temple..."
Yunhui is the Grand Elder of the previous generation of Tianlong Temple, and was also the nominal number one master of Tianlong Temple before, with the perfect cultivation of the eighth heaven.
It wasn't until Monk Faqing reappeared during the Battle of Longhu Mountain this year that in the eyes of the world, the lineage of Tianlong Temple had another eminent monk who reached the perfect realm of the eighth heaven.
Because Master Yunhui is old, he has lived in seclusion in recent years and rarely asks about foreign affairs.
But when it comes to Tianlong Temple's Dinghai Shenzhen, whether inside or outside the temple, the first thing that comes to mind is the Supreme Elder.
It wasn't until Faqing's shocking appearance this year that discussions started again. However, Faqing did not return to Tianlong Temple, which left everyone in Tianlong Temple helpless.
"Master Yun Hui's uncle himself is not infected with the poison of greed and ignorance, but when it comes to anger..." Wang Guiyuan shook his head slightly: "He also... well, in the words of the third junior brother, he cares about the younger disciples, so... "
Chu Kun consoled him: "Master Yunhui is old after all. Most of the affairs in Tianlong Temple are now presided over by Abbot Miaoxin. With the surge of spiritual energy in the world, younger generations of eminent monks will continue to emerge in the Buddhist lineage, and there will be Miaoxin. With the guidance of Abbot Xin, Elder Miao Kong, and Master Faming, we will surely become clearer.”
He and Lei Jun had the same suspicions.
My senior brother is obviously leaning towards Abbot Miaoxin, Elder Miaokong and others.
But he did not stay at Tianlong Temple, and he has no intention of returning now.
Although he has many responsibilities, the current situation is obviously better than before.
If Abbot Miaoxin gets Monk Faqing to return to Tianlong Temple and support him, many things will go more smoothly.
Although there is also the possibility of civil strife, it is better than the current situation...
Lei Jun and Chu Kun looked at each other and passed the topic without asking further questions.
Later, senior sister Xu Yuanzhen finally returned to Longhu Mountain.
"The world dominated by the Ming Dynasty is somewhat interesting."
Although she said this, the expression on her face was a bit disgusting.
Lei Jun: "Same as the whole of Tianli, is Confucianism the dominant one?"
Xu Yuanzhen: "Yes, under the influence of the fate of the country, it also affects the rotation of the void realm, making it difficult to find the door. Although I have had some contact with it, I can't get in for the time being."
She sat down casually: "But it doesn't bother me. I will be free later on this trip. I will prepare some things so that I can dig in directly next time."
Lei Jun looked at the other person's expression and could clearly see that the corners of her mouth were slightly curved upward, showing that she was very interested.
Obviously, this trip did not succeed in entering the Ming Dynasty world, but instead aroused Xu Yuanzhen's interest in it.
So much so that she had no intention of looking for another void portal nearby, but planned to open one herself.
However, she had other things to deal with first.
"Huang, Xuan, Pu..." Xu Yuanzhen nodded and spoke.
She always speaks in secret words as fast as rain hitting a jade plate. She rarely speaks out word by word as slowly as she does now.
Tang Xiaotang snorted on the side: "It's a pity that Tianshipao came back a little late, otherwise I would definitely have a chance encounter with him."
Xu Yuanzhen: "It's not a pity to wear the Heavenly Master's robe, it's a pity for me."
The sudden entry of people from the Lone Eagle Khanate into the Tang Dynasty exceeded almost everyone's expectations.
At that time, Xu Yuanzhen had already entered the realm of heaven.
If it weren't for the Lone Eagle Khanate suddenly causing chaos in the northwest, the Tianli of the East China Sea distracting the attention of the Tang Dynasty, and Xu Yuanzhen himself not being around, the Taoist kingdoms of the world would not have attacked Longhu Mountain.
At that time, it was indeed a rare opportunity for them, and it was fleeting.
I just never expected to have my bones broken at the foot of Longhu Mountain.
But Huang Xuanpu and Fu Dongsen still retreated.
Although Xu Yuanzhen is now interested in the world of the Ming Dynasty, before that, she plans to find Huang Xuanpu first.
Although she despises the Kingdom of Humanity, she doesn't worry about it so much.
The relationship with Huang Xuanpu is purely personal.
Although Qingfeng Li was not killed by Huang Xuanpu, the most direct reason for his death was Huang Xuanpu's surprise attack.
As far as Xu Yuanzhen is concerned, it is impossible for her to treat and tolerate other members of the Li family preferentially because of Li Qingfeng's personal reasons.
But if Li Qingfeng himself died, she would definitely give an explanation to this master.
"Although it has not been confirmed yet, according to recent news from the Shushan Sect, Taiyi Xiantian Tower may have been recovered by Fu Dongsen." Yuan Mo Baiyan said: "On the other hand, the whereabouts of Qingxiao Mansion are still unknown. "
Xu Yuanzhen: "Well, it's a clue. Where is Chunyang Palace?"
Yuan Mobai: "There was a storm, but fortunately the whole army was not wiped out."
Tang Xiaotang interrupted: "That's almost it."
Yuan Mobai sighed when he heard the sound.
The current situation of Chunyang Palace is even worse than that of the Shushan Sect, which was previously divided.
Huang Xuanpu's foundation in Chunyang Palace is deeper than Fu Dongsen's in Shushan Sect.
In addition to the previous generation Supreme Elder Rong Guangchen, Huang Xuanpu's younger brother, the previous White Tiger Elder Guan Jing, was also the thorn in his side and the Human Dao Kingdom's stay in Chunyang Palace.
Even though Rong Guangchen, Gu Han, Feng Yi and others have broken away, there are still a group of Daoist believers in the Chunyang Palace.
After the battle at Longhu Mountain, Chunyang Palace was on the front line against the Lone Eagle Khanate in the northwest, and the Chunyang Palace was in trouble again.
In the end, the Queen, who had been supervising the formation in Chang'an, came to Chunyang Palace in person, and Guan Jing and others died.
However, the Queen did not embarrass Chunyang Palace more, but instead comforted the others.
Lv Jinduan and Wang Xuan, who was recuperating, looked at each other speechlessly. They could only gather their spirits and try their best to rebuild the precarious Taoist Danding Sect Holy Land.
What is slightly unexpected is that Yue Xiling, Huang Xuanpu's disciple, is not a member of the human world.
It's just that at this time, after experiencing the previous turmoil in Chunyang Palace, when the outside world looks at Yuexiling, they can't help but feel doubts and scrutiny.
Yue Xiling remained silent, but in order to avoid suspicion, he did not participate in the reconstruction of Chunyang Palace.
In addition, Wang Xuan's physical and mental condition was not good, and Chunyang Palace was left with only Lu Jinduan, the pillar of the eighth heaven, which made Elder Lu want to cry without tears.
Among the seventh heaven cultivators, there were only a few people such as Jiang Yu.
Chunyang Palace has entered the lowest point in more than a thousand years.
What's worse is the world's view of them now.
Who knows if there are still people from the Human Dao Kingdom hiding among the remaining people?
Even if there are really no people, for some people, this is still a good excuse to suppress Chunyang Palace.
It is visibly difficult for Chunyang Palace to survive the current low period.
"Yue Xiling may not be big, otherwise the result would be different when the Shushan Sect split up." Xu Yuanzhen said casually.
On the way to escort Liao Jie back to Shushan from the Southern Wilderness, before meeting up with Zhang Dongyuan, Chu Yu traveled with Wei Qiyue and Yue Xiling.
If Yue Xiling had the same problem as Wei Qiyue, they could have intercepted Liao Jie on the spot.
Even if Chu Yu could get away, Shushan might not have split up at that time.
Although Wei Qiyue and Yue Xiling were exposed, Fu Dongsen and Hong Jie might have continued to conceal it.
"Speaking of which, the current emperor hasn't personally taken action for nearly 20 years." Yuan Mobai recalled: "The last time was when the demons in the East China Sea were rioting."
Before the demon riot broke out in Guanlong again, although the empress went to the old capital Chang'an to take charge, she did not take action personally.
"One Guan Jing, her true level cannot be seen." Xu Yuanzhen said casually.
Lei Jun: "Big sister, what is the situation between the Ming Dynasty and Heavenly Principle?"
Xu Yuanzhen briefly summarized: "The Ming Dynasty replaced the Qian Dynasty. When the founding emperor passed the throne, he did not pass it to his son, but to the crown prince.
Afterwards, the Shaodi succeeded to the throne and weakened the kings. The country was in turmoil, which led to the princes to rise up in the name of Jingnan and eventually successfully overthrew the Shaodi.
The ministers of the Shaodi dynasty surrounded the Shaodi's bloodline and took refuge in Tibet, which is Heavenly Principle. They closed the empty door between Heavenly Principle and the Ming Dynasty, and survived in Heavenly Principle until now.
It is difficult for them to rely on the Neo-Confucian monarch-minister etiquette system and derive the destiny of the country in Heavenly Principle. However, compared with the real world, it is just self-consolation. They don't seem to have the ability to counterattack the Ming Dynasty.
However, although I didn't get in this time, after contacting it, I felt that the destiny of the Ming Dynasty was also gloomy."
Tang Xiaotang was curious: "In that human world, in that period of history, has the Tianshi Mansion really disappeared?"
Xu Yuanzhen: "Well, the entire Taoist talisman school has basically been cut off. I heard that the Danding School and the Refining School are still circulating, but the mainstream school in the Ming Dynasty is still the so-called rationalism."
Tang Xiaotang curled her lips: "I heard from Lei Jun that I hate this Taoist school."
Xu Yuanzhen stood up: "I will deal with it later. Now the first thing is Huang Xuanpu. I will go to Zhongnan Mountain to take a look."
Tang Xiaotang suddenly asked: "Senior sister, you have more than the first level of the ninth heaven, right?"
Xu Yuanzhen passed by her: "Yes, you still have to work hard."
Tang Xiaotang: "Just wait, I will definitely break through the ninth heaven realm in a shorter time than you!"
As far as Lei Jun knows, Xu Yuanzhen took about 25 years to go from the first level of the eighth heaven to the first level of the ninth heaven.
For Tang Xiaotang, it has been about 18 years since she broke through to the eighth heaven.
She has successfully reached the perfect state of the fourth level of the Eighth Heaven.
But firstly, the upper scene of the Divine Court needs to be nurtured, and secondly, there is a natural chasm from the Eighth Heaven to the Ninth Heaven.
And Xu Yuanzhen and Tang Xiaotang, from the Seventh Heaven to the Eighth Heaven, it took about twelve years.
There may be slight differences, but Tang Xiaotang is obviously not satisfied with the difference of a few days or months.
With this calculation, there is still suspense in time.
Of course, it is not hopeless.
It took Tang Xiaotang a little longer to go from the inner scene of the Divine Court on the first level of the Eighth Heaven to the middle scene of the Divine Court on the second level of the Eighth Heaven, more than nine years.
This is related to her focusing more on reversing her own self-created talismans and opening a new way of cultivation for the mansion.
However, in this process, she also constantly sorted out and summarized what she learned.
From then on, she had a smooth journey. It only took about four years for her to go from the middle scene of the second floor of the Eighth Heaven to the outer scene of the third floor of the Eighth Heaven, and from the outer scene of the third floor of the Eighth Heaven to the upper scene of the fourth floor of the Eighth Heaven. It was much faster than the inner scene of the God Court to the middle scene of the God Court.
Now, for her, it doesn't take much effort to stabilize and accumulate the upper scene of the God Court.
The suspense is more about when she can accumulate and prepare well to impact the natural chasm between the eighth and ninth heavens.
That is the stumbling block that has blocked countless masters from ancient times to the present.
Master Tang was full of fighting spirit, but Xu Yuanzhen didn't care much.
She walked out of the room without stopping or turning around: "That's good. For you, you don't have to worry about your restless and unstable state of mind. Having a goal will help you make progress."
Tang Xiaotang puffed up her cheeks and didn't say anything.
The other party's indifferent attitude made her even more upset.
Lei Jun and others couldn't help but smile when they saw this.
Xu Yuanzhen did not stay long on Longhu Mountain. After saying goodbye to Lei Jun and the others, he went down the mountain again.
…………………
In the depths of the North Sea, a pagoda rises and falls.
In the pagoda, Huang Xuanpu, dressed in a black and white Taoist robe, stood tall, with a leisurely look and a peaceful aura.
In front of him, there were two people standing, both wearing cloth clothes and hemp shoes, dressed simply, like Taoist priests of the Shushan Sect.
One of them was the former head of the Shushan Sect, Fu Dongsen.
The other person was Liu Dongzhuo, the former elder of the Shushan Sect.
Liu Dongzhuo looked ashamed and bowed his head in a Taoist manner: "Dongzhuo is incompetent and did not keep Chen Yi. I hope the emperor will forgive me."
Huang Xuanpu smiled and shook his head: "Dongzhuo does not need to mind, go and rest first."
"Yes, emperor." Liu Dongzhuo bowed to him and Fu Dongsen respectively, and then withdrew.
Fu Dongsen asked, "Emperor, if not, I will go..."
Huang Xuanpu: "Dongsen, although your injuries are gradually recovering, there is no rush. After you have recovered, you should first find Qingxiao Mansion."
"Yes." Fu Dongsen replied, "It was all thanks to the Emperor's personal efforts before, otherwise I would have found it difficult to find Taiyi Xiantian Tower."
Huang Xuanpu smiled and shook his head, "External alchemy magic weapons are not my forte, it mainly depends on you."
Fu Dongsen: "Master Uncle Hong and Brother Gu, there is still no news, I am afraid they have..."
Although he was in the Taiyi Xiantian Tower, deep under the sea, Huang Xuanpu's eyes were still looking to the west at this time, as if he had crossed thousands of mountains and rivers and looked at the land of the Western Regions:
"Sumeru... Vajra Division."
According to the initial news, Hong Jie was injured and left after a battle with Zhang Dongyuan and Master Renzhu, and then disappeared without any news.
If she died under Zhang Dongyuan's Qingming Sword, Zhang Dongyuan would have no reason to hide it.
From this point of view, it seems that Master Renzhu of Xumi Vajra Department is more likely.
In addition, Gu Han also disappeared in the earth veins.
However...
"What is the relationship between Faqing of Tianlong Temple and Longhu Mountain?" Huang Xuanpu asked.
Fu Dongsen was also puzzled by this: "It is not clear. As far as I know, even Tianlong Temple itself was shocked by this matter and repeatedly investigated, but could not get the key."
If the sudden appearance of the Heavenly Master Seal can make people somewhat mentally prepared, then the sudden intervention of Faqing of Tianlong Temple, as well as the whisk and ancient mirror left by Xu Yuanzhen, are completely beyond the calculation of the Human Dao Kingdom.
"If we make a wrong move, we will lose half of the game, not the whole game."
Huang Xuanpu looked calm, without any sign of defeat: "But it's good to determine the whereabouts of the Heavenly Master Seal. It's always much easier than the Ten Thousand Laws Sect. Next, we will wait for the opportunity to get the Heavenly Master Seal."
Fu Dongsen: "Yes."
Huang Xuanpu glanced at him: "Dongsen has something to say."
Fu Dongsen was silent after hearing this, and after a while he said softly: "Emperor, we have now turned from light to darkness."
It is not difficult to guess what he meant.
Since the target is no longer the Ten Thousand Laws Sect and the Longhu Mountain Ancestor Temple, they may be able to act more freely next time.
How many talisman monks in the world can resist Huang Xuanpu's edge?
The remaining disciples of the Heavenly Master Mansion, will they stay in Longhu Mountain for their whole lives, or will they always follow Xu Yuanzhen and Tang Xiaotang, who are just three or two people?
Even Fu Dongsen, the number of people he is afraid of is no more than five fingers.
The mutual restraint between the strong at high levels is often to avoid slaughtering the middle and lower level cultivators.
The Human Dao Kingdom has few concerns in this regard at the moment.
Huang Xuanpu smiled when he heard this: "Although Dongsen does not practice swords, the desire of Shushan cultivators to avenge their enemies is no less than that of sword cultivators."
Fu Dongsen: "I am Meng Lang."
Huang Xuanpu: "We suffered a setback in the battle of Longhu Mountain, and we suffered heavy losses, which made the Taoist disciples below feel uneasy. Dongsen wants to reunite the people, which is not wrong, but impatience will not succeed."
He smiled and sighed: "In fact, the battle of Longhu Mountain was because we were all impatient, and we should take it as a warning."
Fu Dongsen: "Follow the teachings of the emperor."
Huang Xuanpu looked at each other calmly: "The wars in the east and west of the Tang Dynasty seem to have subsided now, but everything has just begun."
Fu Dongsen: "I have heard that the so-called Ming Dynasty in the Heavenly Principle does not seem to be the real Ming Dynasty. There is another human world in this world, which is not inferior to our human world here."
Huang Xuanpu: "Yes, so there is still chaos in the east, and the west is not the same?"
Fu Dongsen was a little surprised: "The Lone Eagle Khanate..."
Huang Xuanpu: "For now, Dongsen should look for Qingxiao Mansion first. If there is any clue, don't let go of Ziwei Sword."
He thought: "Is there any news about Chen Donglou recently?"
In the battle of Longhu Mountain, in addition to guarding against Xu Yuanzhen, the Human Dao Kingdom was actually wary of Chen Donglou's sudden appearance.
Unexpectedly, Chen Donglou was not seen, but Faqing from Tianlong Temple came.
Fu Dongsen: "There is no news about him at present."
Huang Xuanpu: "Be careful when looking for Qingxiao Mansion and Ziwei Sword."
Fu Dongsen: "Yes, Emperor."
…………………
Jingzhou.
The ancestral land of the Jingxiang Fang clan.
After the war in the northwest ended, Fang Jingsheng, the head of the Jingxiang Fang clan, returned to Jingxiang with his nephew Fang Zhu and others.
Fang Zhu's father, Fang Huansheng, the eldest master of the Fang family who was responsible for staying in the ancestral land, came out to greet him.
"Brother." Fang Jingsheng and Fang Huansheng returned to Jingzhou hand in hand, and Fang Zhu and others followed behind.
"The East China Sea has also come to an end." Fang Huansheng said.
Fang Jingsheng nodded: "I have heard about it, brother, tell me the details."
Fang Huansheng told the story.
The more Fang Jingsheng listened, the tighter his brows frowned. After Fang Huansheng finished speaking, he relaxed: "The so-called rationalism is the prosperity of all scholars, but not the prosperity of a certain family or surname, or one person or a few people. Under that kind of etiquette, it may also be the prosperity of the emperor, but in the final analysis, the center completely overrides the local."
Fang Huansheng nodded gently: "Good and bad luck are unpredictable, and the overthrow of a family or surname may also happen overnight."
After Fang Jingsheng walked for a while, he asked, "Is there no more information about Ye Hongzhen's incident?"
Fang Huansheng: "In comparison, Qingzhou suffered the dumb loss this time."
Fang Jingsheng: "Brother, make arrangements for me and send my regards to Qingzhou to express my condolences."
After the other party responded, he asked again: "Where is Lei Chongyun of Tianshi Mansion?"
Fang Huansheng: "First of all, it was amazing. With the help of the three major dharma elephants of the Taoist Fulu Sect at the first level of the eighth heaven, I defeated the Tianli monks on the second level of the eighth heaven in a short period of time.
However, he was later suppressed due to the Neo-Confucianism ritual, and it took a long time for him to escape, but he escaped on his own.
The seal was indeed extraordinary, and it was said that Suzhou Chu Shuyin's three arrows could not break it open. "
Fang Jingsheng and Fang Huansheng looked at each other: "We might as well try to find some clues about this ritual. Although it is a Neo-Confucian ritual, if it can be reproduced, it may be of great use in the future."
"I have ordered my clan members to go to the East China Sea." Fang Huansheng replied: "I believe Suzhou and Qingzhou are also trying to figure it out."
Fang Jingsheng nodded: "Don't underestimate Tianshi Mansion Lei Chongyun just because of this ritual. He can quickly kill opponents with higher levels in a short period of time, which is enough to prove his talent and talent.
In the battle at Longhu Mountain that day, Qianye Butterfly King, Rong Guangchen, and Wei Qiyue were defeated quickly. The key to Tianshi Mansion's defeat seemed to indeed lie with Tianshi Yin and him. "
Fang Huansheng: "I understand."
It's not that Lei Jun was trapped in the Neo-Confucian ritual, which made him appear weak.
On the contrary, it was precisely because it could trap Lei Jun for a long time that it highlighted the value of the Neo-Confucian ritual!
………………
There are many disturbances from the outside world.
Lei Jun stayed peacefully on Longhu Mountain during this period, practicing quietly.
However, there is a hiccup in the middle.
In the dark side of the universe, the moon star he released has landed.
Should we say it or not, we are indeed destined.
The person who got Lei Jun's third obsidian was the Ming Dynasty man who had a chance encounter in the East China Sea.
Nie Fang.
Although he did not carefully check Nie Fang's physical and mental state at the beginning, the other party taught himself the Yanshi method based on the incomplete Taoist scriptures, and was able to achieve initial success. In addition to his outstanding understanding, his soul should not be underestimated.
Although Yanshi's lineage has both the Taoist Talisman School and the Weapon Refining School, just looking at the way he refines and controls the bronze machine man, we can tell that he must be more focused on the cultivation of the nature of the soul.
Although we are still far apart geographically, we have met again... Lei Jun smiled.
However, what was more unexpected was that Nie Fang was still floating outside alone.
Lei Jun originally thought that after the other party had a general understanding of the situation in Datang, he would surrender to the Tang imperial family.
Or, join the academy.
Although Nie Fang is the foundation of Taoist practice, he is still influenced by the Neo-Confucian etiquette of Tianli.
Since the void portal from Heaven to the human world of the Tang Dynasty was sealed, the influence in this area was much weakened.
But it still exists, and it's a huge hidden danger.
Nie Fang finally got rid of his restraints, so he naturally hoped to completely cut off the relevant ties.
In this regard, in public perception, there is no doubt that the Tang Emperor, who upholds the fate of this world and the country, is the best to solve the problem.
But Nie Fang hesitated.
Because of what happened in Tianli, do you have any scruples about the court... Lei Jun guessed.
As he expected, Nie Fang was indeed hesitant because of this.
But he also knows that there is no such thing as a free lunch.
If he wants to eliminate the influence of Confucianism on the side of Tianli, he should bear some risks and even costs.
But just when Nie Fang was about to make up his mind, another opportunity appeared in front of him.
Looking at the pale and strange universe, Nie Fang lost his voice for a moment.
Lei Jun does have a solution to his problem.
Lei Jun still doesn't know how to do precise operations based on the laws of nature, Confucian etiquette, and luck in mountains and rivers.
But just to clear and cut off these, the power of the dark side of the Heavenly Book is the suitable blade.
It just takes some time to slowly disappear, so it is not suitable for fighting against science monks in actual combat.
It's no problem to greet Nie Fang now.
There really is no such thing as a free lunch.
Lei Jun's requirements for Nie Fang were the same as those for Kang Ming and Meng Shaojie.
People or things related to the ancient Fulu Sect.
He just took this opportunity to learn more about the inheritance of the Fu Lu Sect in the Ming Dynasty.
The Fu Lu Sect has indeed declined in the Ming Dynasty, but Nie Fang's Yanshi inheritance is related to the Fu Lu Sect.
Nie Fang really did not disappoint Taoist Master Lei.
He provided a remnant talisman.
The talisman is incomplete and of limited practical use.
But the Dharma stored in it made Lei Jun thoughtful:
"Penglai..."
In ancient times, among the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, there were three places that had a deep relationship with Taoism, namely Kunlun and Penglai among the Nine Heavens, and Huangquan among the Ten Earths.
The inheritance of the Talisman Sect in the Ming Dynasty has declined, but is it possible that it is related to Penglai?
I just don’t know what Penglai has become now... Lei Jun thought for a moment and gathered his thoughts.
He relied on the power of the dark side of the Book of Heaven to help Nie Fang cut off the constraints imposed on him by the Neo-Confucian etiquette bit by bit.
It involves not only the soul, but also flesh and blood.
Finally, one day, Nie Fang could clearly feel that his whole body felt lightened.
"I...I..." The young Taoist priest felt a little dazed for a moment, as if he was in a dream.
The happiness he dreamed of came too suddenly, even a little too simple, which made him feel unreal.
However, his determination was much stronger than that of ordinary people. He quickly calmed down and began to consider whether to stay or go.
Since he had the opportunity of Yue Bei, he should cherish it.
Even if it was not a blessing in disguise, it would have relieved a worry.
In this way, he did not need to consider the court of the Tang Dynasty in a hurry, at least it was not the first choice.
Then, Taoism?
While Nie Fang was familiar with the accent and writing of the Tang people, he asked for information to understand the current situation.
The first thing that disappointed him was that there was no Taoist Yanshi lineage in the Tang Dynasty.
The good news was that Taoism in the Tang Dynasty was still prosperous.
It was just that the three holy places had also suffered some hardships in recent years.
The Danding Sect was not close to his practice at all, and even if the Chunyang Palace was prosperous, it had nothing to do with him, so Nie Fang did not consider it.
Of the talisman sect and the weapon refining sect, it is said that the weapon refining sect Shushan has suffered more disasters in recent years, while the talisman sect has produced many talented people and has shown signs of revival, so after a little thought, Nie Fang went to the ancestral temple of Longhu Mountain.
Lei Jun saw Nie Fang coming to pay homage outside Longhu Mountain.
He did not hide his origins and Taoism, and told everything truthfully.
Chu Kun received Nie Fang first, and after talking with him, he arranged for him to meet Lei Jun, who was a high-level elder.
"Your foundation is already established. If you want to switch to practicing the Taoism of my talisman sect, you need to start from scratch." Lei Jun said.
Nie Fang glanced at the bronze mechanical man beside him, then retracted his gaze:
"To answer the elder's words, I still plan to continue practicing the art of Yanshi.
First, when I first entered the sect, I was determined to pass on this method. It was also this method that gave me the foundation for my initial survival. Otherwise, I would never have been able to escape to the Tang Dynasty.
Second, I have a bad fate, and I want to return to the heavenly law in the future and seek justice for myself. If your sect is well connected, it will naturally be beneficial to this trip, but after entering the sect, it is inevitable that I will cause trouble for my sect, so I dare not hope for it.
I just hope that I can have a few opportunities to get guidance from the elders and the seniors of the Tianshi Mansion. I will do my best and wait for the orders of the seniors.
I beg the elders to grant my permission for this unreasonable request. I will never forget it."
Chu Kun glanced at Lei Jun.
What Nie Fang meant was that he wanted to open his own sect, even if it was just a small Taoist temple, and then register it under the name of the Fulu Sect.
The Tianshi Mansion in Longhu Mountain is the ancestral temple of the Taoist Talisman School in the Tang Dynasty. The other party is just paying a visit.
If Nie Fang can get some more cultivation resources and even some guidance on the Taoist classics during his practice, he will be even happier. Of course, he is also willing to wait for the orders of the Tianshi Mansion and serve the Tianshi Mansion like a disciple.
However, his roots, at least for the time being, are not in the Tang Dynasty.
But in the Ming Dynasty, or in Tianli.
He will definitely go back.
But not because of attachment, but because of resentment!
"Is your father the one you want to retaliate against?" Lei Jun asked calmly.
Nie Fang knew that although the Tang Dynasty did not have the strict etiquette of monarch, minister, father and son like Tianli, filial piety was not a derogatory term, but it was not so extreme.
But he still said frankly: "Yes, at least, I want him to admit in person that he did something wrong. If he still refuses to admit it, then I will not hesitate to fight him, but it is not just him."
Nie Fang's eyes were firm and his tone was calm: "My enemy is the entire Neo-Confucianism, the ritual system, the monarch and the father's principles."
Chu Kun looked sideways when he heard this.
Such an ambition, coming from Nie Fang's mouth, would inevitably cause people to question his arrogant tone at the first time.
But Chu Kun looked at Nie Fang at this moment, but he did not mean to laugh at him.
Instead, he laughed at himself:
Compared to other people's ambitions, I am just a salted fish...
"You are very honest." Lei Jun nodded slightly: "In this case, I can't make a decision on my own. I need to ask the head of our sect to make the decision, but I am willing to introduce you."
Nie Fang bowed deeply: "Thank you, elder."
Such a thing, Tang Tianshi did not think twice: "Okay, let him hang, one more and one less is not much, let me know when his Yanshi technique has achieved some success, and I will take a look."
Lei Jun smiled: "During the time when the little sister was the Tianshi, she added a new lineage to our Great Tang Dao Sect and cultivated generously. Now at first glance, it seems insignificant, but who knows if it will not be recorded in the Dao classics in the future?"
"Hmm..." Tang Xiaotang thought about it and couldn't help but smile.
On the other side, Chu Kun looked at his nose and his heart, and lowered his head to look at his toes.
Senior brother, you are so flattering, too flattering, you are a complete traitor... Chu Kun was heartbroken.
No matter how heartbroken he was, the matter was settled.
Tianshi Mansion prepared a special disc for Nie Fang as a proof of identity, allowing him to find a suitable place in Jiangnan to build a temple.
Lei Jun handed the relevant matters to Elder Chu Kun.
He continued to stay in the mansion, assisting Tang Xiaotang, Yuan Mobai, Shangguan Ning and others in handling the affairs of the mansion while continuing his own practice.
In this way, time passed quietly.
During this period, the Tang Dynasty did not continue to use troops against the Southern Wilderness.
The two major battles in the East and the West, plus the changes in Longhu Mountain, consumed a lot of forces in the Tang Dynasty.
Even the Sumeru Vajra Department, Master Jiasheng and Master Renzhu, returned to the Western Regions together.
However, the results they announced to the outside world were brilliant.
Two Buddhist masters of the Ninth Heaven Realm joined forces to kill the Southern Wilderness Ninth Heaven Great Demon, the Four-Eyed Python King.
It is said that both of them were injured, so they returned to the Western Region to recuperate.
Now the threats from the east and west have been temporarily eliminated, and the Nine Li forces in the south have not continued to expand.
Therefore, in the Southern Wilderness, the Tang Dynasty supported the forces of the Wu Sect to confront the people of Jiuli, and it welcomed a rare time of recuperation.
The four directions were temporarily safe.
On Longhu Mountain, a certain Heavenly Master began to get restless.
After presiding over a grand ceremony of ordination and a grand ceremony of ordination in January for two consecutive years, Tang Xiaotang officially informed Lei Jun and other elders that she would leave the mountain.
In name, like Xu Yuanzhen, she was looking for the remnants of the Human Dao Kingdom such as Huang Xuanpu.
As for the actual situation, on the one hand, she was very quiet and wanted to move, and on the other hand, it had been nearly twenty years since she took over the position of Heavenly Master.
During this period, she presided over various ceremonies, welcomed and sent off people, and was congratulated by people. Although she showed her face, she gradually became a little tired after many times.
In the words of Tang Xiaotang when chatting with Lei Jun privately:
"I am now thinking about when I can kill Huang Xuanpu with the three treasures of the Heavenly Master at the same time, and then the merit will be complete."
The emphasis is on the words "with the three treasures of the Heavenly Master at the same time".
Tang Xiaotang was not very impressed by Yuan Mobai and Lei Jun's temporary secrecy about the return of the Heavenly Master's Robe to the mountain, but she did not force it.
But as a Heavenly Master, it was obviously her wish to show off the three treasures together.
Lei Jun: "Let it be. If necessary, give the opponent a hard blow, no need to hide it deliberately."
So this time when Tang Xiaotang went out of the mountain, Lei Jun suggested that she bring the Heavenly Master Seal directly.
If necessary, the Heavenly Master Sword and the Heavenly Master Robe can be passed on to her together.
However, Tang Xiaotang said that, and if she was asked to choose at this time, she would still choose the Heavenly Master Sword.
"If there is a real need, you or your junior uncle can bring the Heavenly Master Seal to join me." Tang Tianshi waved his hand and left the mountain.
Fortunately, it did not affect the handling of daily affairs in the mansion.
After the Northwest War, Zhang Jingzhen also returned to the mountain to assist Yuan Mobai, Lei Jun and Shangguan Ning in sorting out the affairs of the mansion.
Time flies, and another two years have passed in the blink of an eye.
Xu Yuanzhen and Tang Xiaotang have not returned.
There is even little news about the former.
The latter, on the other hand, had a very lively journey, adding a lot of news to the Tang Dynasty, where the overall atmosphere has calmed down.
This year, Lei Jun is about to turn 54. After saying hello to Yuan Mobai and other fellow disciples, he took off his duties temporarily and concentrated on practicing in seclusion for a period of time.
However, the place where he practices is a little erratic.
On the ground at night.
Underground during the day.
One day, day and night alternated, in the early morning.
Lei Jun faced the glimmer of dawn, and today he did not enter the earth vein, but stayed on the ground.
He wore a purple robe and a Taoist crown on his head, and his appearance looked the same as usual.
But the Shenting universe that was originally hidden deep in his body has changed.
At this moment, Lei Jun is like a small world of heaven and earth.
Above is Jiuxiao, as dark as the night, but the stars can be seen.
Below is Jiuyuan, as dim as the earth, but the Yuan magnetic track can be seen.
The second level of the Eighth Heaven, the central scene of the Divine Palace, was completed today.
