Chapter 315 Chapter 314 Elder Lei's Dragon in the Imperial Capital (10,000-Word Chapter)

Chapter 315 314. Elder Lei’s Journey to the Dragon in the Imperial Palace (10,000-word chapter)

After Yuan Mobai listened quietly to Lei Jun's description, he sighed: "Although the Xiao clan in Longwai is no longer as luxuriant as before, it still produces talents in large numbers."

Lei Jun nodded silently.

In addition to Xiao Chunhui and Xiao Xueting, there is also their half-brother, Xiao Hang, the current leader of the Xiao clan.

The surge of spiritual energy in heaven and earth makes it easier for today's monks to practice. The most obvious beneficiaries are the newly emerging top geniuses of the younger generation.

Xiao Hang lived in the ancestral land of the Xiao clan outside Long. Unlike Xiao Chunhui and Xiao Xueting, who often accompanied the Tang emperor, he seemed less attractive.

But no matter whether it is Lei Jun, Yuan Mobai and others from Tianshi Mansion, or other top forces, they will not ignore that Xiao Hang was once known as the same name as Jingxiang Fang Zhu, Qingzhou Ye Cheng, Suzhou Chu Zhe, Cangzhou Ye Feishan and others. One of the leading figures of the younger generation of famous Tang Dynasty families.

Their future path points to Ye Yan, Fang Jingsheng, Chu Xiuyuan and other heads of aristocratic families.

Like Xiao Xueting, Xiao Hang also successfully reached the eighth heaven realm in the past few years.

Coupled with Xiao Chunhui, who has great talent but hides it and has accumulated a lot of experience, although the Xiao family outside Longwai is no longer as prosperous as it was in its early years, the old tree is sprouting new branches and signs of revival are already there.

"The old master of the Xiao clan was not a simple man." Lei Jun said.

Yuan Mobai: "Xiao Yumen layman is indeed an extraordinary person."

Going back a few decades, when the Xiao clan in Longwai had a large tree with deep roots and dominated the northwest, there were about three most important people in the clan.

The previous head of the Xiao clan, Xiao Hang’s grandfather, was also known as the old man of the Xiao clan.

The previous head of the Xiao clan was the second uncle of Xiao Hang, Xiao Chunhui, and Xiao Xueting. Before he took over as the clan leader, it was customary inside and outside the Xiao clan to be called the second master of the Xiao clan.

Then there is the father of the three Xiao Hang siblings, Xiao Yumen, the eldest master of the Xiao clan.

At that time, Xiao Yumen was even known as the number one master of the Xiao clan outside Long.

When he was still young, he was a Confucian scholar who became famous in the Tang Dynasty, and then he soared to great heights.

But what was unexpected was that Xiao Yumen failed to take over as the leader of the Xiao clan in the end.

Among his peers, he, together with Fang Jingsheng, the current leader of the Fang Clan in Jingxiang, and Lin Huan, the leader of the Lin Clan in Youzhou, were at that time the most promising scholars who could reach the realm of the Nine Heavens in a short period of time.

It's just that the fate of the next three people was very different.

Fang Jingsheng successfully broke through to the ninth level, which can be regarded as fulfilling the expectations of the world.

However, because of her battle with Xu Yuanzhen, Lin Huan is still unable to take that final step to this day.

As for Xiao Yumen, it was a complete tragedy. Together with other elders and masters of the Xiao clan outside Longwai, they perished in the demonic chaos in the Western Regions...

"However, we cannot say this with certainty."

Lei Jun thoughtfully said: "After all, the remains of layman Xiao Yumen were not confirmed at first. We only heard people mention that he was buried in the belly of a big demon. However, the witnesses soon died in the demon chaos in the Western Regions. Now it is difficult to do so anymore. Check."

It would be fine if there was no follow-up of the mysterious rise of brother and sister Xiao Chunhui and Xiao Xueting.

However, while Xiao Chunhui and Xiao Xueting are extremely talented, their backgrounds are still in doubt, which makes people have to think more about whether there is another secret behind the life and death of Xiao Yumen.

Yuan Mobai: "It is not advisable to make false claims without conclusive evidence. In the early years of the demonic chaos in the Western Regions, not only did the Xiao clan outside Long County suffer, but for the Tang Dynasty, it was also close to national catastrophe. No matter whether they were alive or dead, the laymen of Xiao Yumen had killed many people in the previous wars. Great demon, protect the common people."

Lei Jun: "That's what Master taught me."

Speaking of which, under the current situation of the Tang Dynasty, if the Xiao clan in Longwai is still around, where they will go is probably very suspenseful.

However, no matter how you calculate it, Xiao Yumen's team can be called a legend.

If Xiao Chunhui is willing to take another step forward, then he, Xiao Hang, and Xiao Xueting's three brothers and sisters will all be at the eighth level of cultivation.

This is very rare in ancient and modern history.

Chu Xiuyuan, the old leader of the Chu Clan in Suzhou, and Ye Moquan, the old leader of the Ye Clan in Cangzhou, are already famous sons and daughters in this era.

However, Chu Xiuyuan only had his third son Chu Zhe and his youngest daughter Chu Yu to cultivate to the eighth level of heaven. The remaining most accomplished child is the eldest son Chu Lin, who is currently the Secretary of the Tang Dynasty. He has a high position and a well-known official reputation, but his personal cultivation is not The seventh heaven of Confucian classics is the realm of fighting.

He has already passed the age of 200. Whether he can reach the eighth level before the age of 400 is a big question mark. It is not as certain as Xiao Chunhui.

And Ye Moquan got a son and a daughter, Ye Wei and Ye Han, who were both at the eighth level of heaven cultivation, making a total of two people.

In the past few hundred years of the Tang Dynasty, apart from the special circumstances of the clan, there was only one precedent similar to the Xiao clan's current situation.

It was Li Zhiyuan, the first generation of Li Tianshi. His three biological sons, Li Yang, Li Bai, and Li Song, all achieved the eighth level of the Taoist Fulu Sect. Among them, Li Yang and Li Bai both reached the perfection of the four scenes of the Eighth Level Divine Court. The four father and son It laid the foundation for the rise and decline of the Shinshu Li family for three to four hundred years.

However, the Shinshu Lee family has become a thing of the past.

There is still suspense as to where the Xiao clan in Longwai will go in the future.

After Lei Jun ended contact with his master Yuan Mobai, he returned to Lianyunguan.

In the next few days, people came to visit or invite Taoist Master Lei one after another.

From Shangguan Qing, the servant of the important ministers of the dynasty, to Lu Zhen, the veteran general of the Shence Army, to Chu Lin, the secretary of the dynasty, and even to the family elders of the previous generations of the Jingxiang Fang clan, he could be called the left servant of the minister of the Tang Dynasty. Shoot Fang Hezhou.

All kinds of garden tours and banquets are fully scheduled.

Lei Jun was mentally prepared for this.

From the moment he accepted the position of patrolling elder and came to Luoyang, the imperial capital, all this was expected.

As a public reserve of the Heavenly Master, it is natural for him to have social interactions.

He is no longer the young and backward disciple.

In comparison, Lei Jun prefers to practice meditation, but he is not afraid of the relevant occasions when he takes on this responsibility. He represents the Heavenly Master Mansion with a good demeanor.

Of course, even if he really takes over the position of Heavenly Master in the future, such a life will not be the mainstream for a long time.

This trip is because Lei Jun used to live in seclusion, and now he finally stands in front of the stage. Others naturally hope to know more about his ideas and views, so Lei Jun took the initiative to make a public appearance.

"Elder Lei, it has been twenty-eight years since we last met."

At the banquet, an elegant and steady Confucian scholar raised his glass to Lei Jun from afar: "The world has changed, and the elder's style is better than before."

Unlike the Taoist priests of the Danding School who have abstentions from alcohol, the Taoist disciples of the Fulu School and the Waidan School only talk about not drinking alcohol.

Lei Jun raised his glass calmly in return: "Master Ye, you are too polite."

The scholar opposite was named Ye Cheng, with the courtesy name Jifeng and the name Blue Sea Master. He was the leader of the younger generation of the Qingzhou Ye Clan. He was once called the East and West Ye together with Ye Feishan, who was once a member of the Jinzhou Ye Clan.

Today, he is one of the core senior members of the Qingzhou Ye Clan, and it is also difficult to regard him as a young man.

Lei Jun had met her once when he followed his senior sister Xu Yuanzhen across the river.

Compared to that time, Ye Cheng looked obviously older, no longer young, and had a beard.

Considering his age and cultivation, he was naturally very young.

The change in appearance was more due to the change in identity and status.

However, when sitting opposite Lei Jun, he always had a gentle and elegant smile on his face.

Ye Cheng invited Lei Jun to be his guest, and Lei Jun did not refuse, and was calm as usual.

"How is Fairy Xu?" Ye Cheng asked.

Lei Jun: "My elder sister is currently out looking for the whereabouts of Huang Xuanpu, Fu Dongsen and others."

Ye Cheng: "The so-called human world is full of evil ways, causing trouble to the people and turbulent world. Everyone can kill them. I often pay attention to relevant clues in Qingzhou. If I find any, I will definitely report them to the court and your sect as soon as possible."

Lei Jun: "Master Ye is thoughtful. I thank you in advance."

Compared with the Ye clan in Cangzhou and the two forests in the north and south, there is no apparent conflict between Longhu Mountain and the Ye clan in Qingzhou.

So when Ye Cheng invited him, Lei Jun calmly went to the appointment. Everything was normal on his face, and there was no abnormality.

Although he had just killed the other party's important figure Ye Yan in the East China Sea a few years ago, he was clean and Qingzhou was not aware of it...

"Were Qingfeng Tianshi and your sect's elder Hongyu both killed by Huang Xuanpu?" Ye Cheng asked.

Lei Jun said solemnly: "That's right, so this beast must be killed by our sect."

Ye Cheng's face showed a look of reminiscence: "When I was a teenager, I also listened to the teachings of Qingfeng Tianshi and traveled to the south of the Yangtze River with Zhengxuan Taoist. Now he is gone, and only the memory remains."

Lei Jun: "Master Ye is thoughtful."

Ye Cheng's face showed no abnormality, but he was actually observing Lei Jun carefully in secret.

He did meet Li Qingfeng and Li Zhengxuan father and son.

But now he mentioned it mainly to see Lei Jun's attitude towards these two people.

The previous dispute between Li and Wai ended with the victory of the Wai surname. Li Song, Li Ziyang and other Li clan members were expelled regardless of life or death.

But some Li clan members were treated differently.

In addition to the late Tianshi Li Qingfeng, Li Hongyu and Li Zhengxuan died, but their talismans were not removed by the Tianshi Mansion.

Ye Cheng is observing Lei Jun now, mainly to see his attitude towards the Li clan, and then to guess his views on other famous families.

Xu Yuanzhen and Tang Xiaotang's attitudes have been very clear over the years.

Not only the former Jiangzhou Lin clan, but they are also hostile to other famous families.

Relatively speaking, Yuan Mobai and Lei Jun are more peaceful.

Except for the confrontation with the Jiangzhou Lin clan, they rarely have conflicts with other clan masters.

Of course, it is not friendly.

In the battle of Liwai, Yuan Mobai is also clearly one of the mainstays of the non-family descendants of the Tianshi Mansion.

Lei Jun, on the other hand, only participated in the battle of Jiangzhou.

After that, he mostly took action against Huang Tiandao, Renjian Daoguo or Tianli monks.

At present, according to observations from all parties, this Taoist Master Lei has a relatively cold and indifferent temperament. The few times he took action were mostly to support Longhu Mountain to resist the invading enemies, or to help his fellow disciples.

He himself has basically never taken the initiative to provoke a fight.

Even his trip to the East China Sea was caused by the disappearance of his fellow disciple Xu Yuanzhen from Tianli.

Although Ye Yan died in the East China Sea, Ye Yao, who had contact with Lei Jun at the time, later talked to Ye Cheng about this Taoist Xuan Xiaozi of the Tianshi Mansion.

Based on current observations, if this elder Lei can really replace Tang Xiaotang as the head of the Tianshi Mansion, the Tianshi Mansion's aggressiveness and offensiveness will be reduced.

From the current perspective of the Longhu Mountain Tianshi Mansion, it is naturally good to recuperate.

In the long run, they will become stronger.

However, their reduced aggressiveness will also reduce threats and unexpected factors for the Qingzhou Ye clan and other aristocratic families.

What will happen in the future depends on further game play by all parties.

Although Ye Cheng had many thoughts in his mind, there was no abnormality on his face, and he talked and laughed with Lei Jun.

Lei Jun responded calmly. Although the atmosphere of the banquet was not warm, it can be said that both the host and the guests were happy in the end.

Ye Cheng invited Lei Jun to be his guest and prepared various gifts.

Lei Jun accepted all the gifts.

He also gave the talismans and elixirs from the Tianshi Mansion as a return gift, which was a good gesture.

For Taoist Master Lei, it was a pity that most of the things Ye Cheng sent were spiritual objects to assist in cultivation.

If he had to choose by himself, he would prefer Ye Cheng to give some spiritual objects inherited from the Confucian classics of the Ye Clan in Qingzhou, including calligraphy and painting.

In this way, it would be convenient for him to further study the clues of Qingzhou's Ye clan's family history. He had already figured out everything he had learned from Ye Yi last time...

It's a pity that Brother Ye Jifeng is so inconsiderate!

Coming out of the Qingzhou Ye Clan's mansion in Luoyang City, Lei Jun returned to Lianyunguan.

Similar to banquets, he has been to many houses in the past few days, openly and openly, with all parties involved.

This trip is just to show off and look familiar, and there is no need to consider whether it involves taking sides.

When Lei Jun returned to Lianyunguan tonight, someone from the temple came to the door in person and had been waiting for him for some time.

Fellow senior brother Lin Shan was greeting Lei Jun.

"Senior Brother Lin." Lei Jun nodded to Lin Shan and then looked at the two visiting guests.

From the appearance of their clothes, they looked like two young scholars.

One of them is Meng Shaojie.

The other young man was clearly the current prince Zhang Hui.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince came to visit in person. Please forgive me for being rude." Lei Jun stepped forward.

Prince Zhang Hui smiled and shook his head: "I'm taking the liberty of coming here. Please don't take offense to Elder Lei."

Meng Shaojie looked much calmer than before, but he was very respectful in front of Lei Jun: "Elder Lei, the student is interrupting."

After the two parties met, Lei Jun invited them to sit down and asked Lin Shan to accompany him.

After listening to them chatting for a while, Lei Jun knew that, as Xiao Chunhui said, Meng Shaojie was studying behind closed doors, just like other monks in the Taoist tradition. He did not go out again until today.

He always remembered Lei Jun helping him to get rid of the disaster in the balance of movement and movement on Longhu Mountain, as well as Lei Jun's encouragement to him.

Now that Lei Jun has arrived in Beijing, Meng Shaojie comes to visit.

Just as he was finishing his retreat, Prince Zhang Hui originally wanted to summon him to reminisce about the past. Hearing that Meng Shaojie wanted to visit Lei Jun, he simply came with him.

As time goes by, Zhang Hui's visits to the palace are becoming less and less.

Fortunately, the queen had returned to Luoyang, and Zhang Hui was able to step down from his duties as supervisor of the country and move around more freely than before.

Of course, his trip out of the palace to visit Elder Lei of Tianshi Mansion also had to be reported and recorded in the palace.

Although he left the palace incognito, he was also accompanied by officials from the East Palace. He was currently being entertained in Lianyunguan, waiting for His Highness the Crown Prince's return.

"Your Highness oversees the country and the government is stable, so that His Majesty has no worries, which is a blessing to the people." Lei Jun said calmly.

Zhang Hui: "Over the years, I've been walking on thin ice, fearing that if I didn't check for a while, I would mess up the imperial court. Fortunately, the emperor's aunt is planning the strategy, and there are elder Lei and other experts to help the country. Now that the emperor's aunt has returned to Beijing, I can finally breathe a sigh of relief."

He looked at Meng Shaojie and said with a smile: "Reciting poems and painting is more suitable for me. I was chatting with Qingyan just now. Over the past few years, my writing style has become much rusty."

Meng Shaojie said apologetically: "This minister is so stupid that it is difficult for His Highness to worry about matters in the court."

Zhang Hui shook his head repeatedly: "What are you talking about? If you study hard and achieve success, it's not too late for me to be happy."

Lei Jun was also looking at Meng Shaojie at this time: "I haven't seen you for many years. Young Master Meng is studying and cultivating his energy, and he has achieved some success."

Although he used the dark side of the Heavenly Book to guide and even assist Meng Shaojie, he could not always monitor the other party through the dark side of the Heavenly Book.

Therefore, Lei Jun is not very clear about the specific progress of Meng Shaojie's practice over the years.

At present, Meng Shaojie's cultivation level has not only reached the middle three-level level, but is also higher than expected.

It seems that the other party has indeed found a new and unique path that is immature but very suitable for him.

His extraordinary talents began to show off.

Lei Jun quite wanted to chat more with the other party about the details of historiography, a branch of Confucian practice.

However, there is no rush in this regard. He will be in Luoyang for the next period of time and can slowly communicate and discuss with Meng Shaojie.

Of course, Meng Shaojie is still just starting out on this path, and has yet to explore in the long run.

In the eyes of the outside world, he is still a little transparent.

The people who came to visit Elder Lei this time seemed to focus on Prince Zhang Hui.

Although Zhang Hui came to visit in disguise, the news was not hidden from anyone, so many people paid attention to it.

"His Royal Highness, you stayed in Lianyunguan for a long time and returned to the palace just before the curfew."

At the residence of Shangguan Qing, the servant, Shangguan Qing sat across from Lu Zhen, the general of the Shence Army, and talked about this matter.

Not long ago, Lei Juncai was invited to visit Shangguan Qing and Lu Zhen's houses respectively.

Shangguan Qing and Lu Zhen didn't pay much attention to the fact that Lei Jun had many friends and accepted invitations from Chu Lin, Ye Cheng and others, and they would not doubt that Lei Jun had completely changed his mind on behalf of the Tianshi Mansion, and was working with the Ye Clan of Qingzhou and the Chu people of Suzhou. Confucian families such as the Han Dynasty and other Confucian families agreed with this.

What Ye Cheng, Chu Lin and others wanted was to temporarily stabilize the relationship between the Tianshi Mansion and them, and to find out Lei Jun's attitude and the changes he might bring about when he took over the Tianshi Mansion.

However, Prince Zhang Hui went out of the East Palace to visit Lei Jun in person, which attracted the attention of Shangguan Qing, Lu Zhen and others.

"His Highness has had close contacts with Qingzhou, Suzhou, and Jingxiang before, but obviously he will not only focus on one side. The fall and rise of the Tianshi Mansion has the potential to become the leader of the Taoist sect, and His Highness will naturally not ignore it." Shangguan Qing said.

He believed that Qingzhou, Suzhou and Jingxiang would also pay attention to this matter.

However, it wouldn't be that surprising.

Although the Qingzhou Ye Clan and other famous families have placed heavy bets on Prince Zhang Hui, they all know that if they really want to achieve great things, they must get support from many aspects.

At least, not everyone is the enemy.

In many cases, you do not require most people to support you, but being able to remain neutral and not be your enemy is already a favorable environment.

This is also true for the Ye Clan in Qingzhou and the Chu Clan in Suzhou themselves.

Lu Zhen: "I heard that His Highness has often consulted Brother Shangguan over the years?"

Shangguan Qing: "His Royal Highness is a genius. I only communicated with him once or twice. I don't dare to ask for advice or advice."

Lu Zhen nodded slightly and did not continue.

Prince Zhang Hui has gradually shown his talents in recent years.

For Datang Jiangshan, it adds a little uncertainty.

Because Her Majesty the Queen is also extremely young today.

There are two days in the sky, which is not an auspicious sign.

It's just that what the Queen has done in recent years is indeed frowned upon, and it doesn't just dissatisfy the Confucian families such as Ye, Lin, Chu, and Fang...

"Longhu Mountain Tianshi Mansion got up from the bottom too fast."

Lu Zhen changed the subject: "However, it is not without signs. It's just that I had never expected that besides Xu Yuanzhen and Tang Xiaotang, there is also Lei Jun's recent rise."

At first glance, the Longhu Mountain Tianshi Mansion only has Xu Yuanzhen, a ninth-level Taoist with high practical abilities.

Tang Xiaotang and Lei Jun are still at the eighth level of cultivation.

But their momentum is so fast!

The latest news is that Tang Xiaotang has reached the eighth level of consummation.

According to their previous progress rate, how many masters of the Nine Heavens realm will be in Longhu Mountain before long?

"At least for now, it is certain that the Tianshi Mansion in Longhu Mountain will not be like the so-called Taoist country on earth." Shangguan Qing said slowly.

Lu Zhen: "Fortunately."

Shangguan Qing was in the room, looking in the direction of Lianyun Temple, "Xuanxiaozi Lei Chongyun seems to be a calm and self-sufficient person. If he takes over the position of Tianshi, I believe that Longhu Mountain will be more peaceful." ”

………………

Lei Jun doesn't pay attention to how the outside world speculates on his situation.

There are two things that he is personally interested in right now.

First, it was to listen to Meng Shaojie talk about his understanding and progress in studying history.

Secondly, Lei Jun met someone when he was a guest at Lu Zhen's house.

The other party's name is Yu Cheng, and he is the master of Hui Tian, ​​a famous physician in Luoyang, the imperial capital, who studied under the King of Medicine.

Martial arts inheritors generally believe that there are three meridians, namely warrior, body refiner and healer.

Yu Cheng and Huitian are in the same line of doctors who are famous all over the world.

At the banquet at the Lu Mansion, Lei Jun and Yu Cheng had a good chat, and the other party specially invited Lei Jun to return to heaven as a guest later.

Today is the day for the appointment. After Lei Jun checked his apprentice Zhuo Baojie's homework in the morning, he was ready to go out.

At this time, Lin Shan came over: "Junior brother Lei, want to go out?"

Lei Jun: "I was invited by the hall master to go back to heaven."

Lin Shan: "Have you set a specific time?"

Lei Jun: "That's not true. We only made an appointment today. Hall Master Yu said we can do it at any time, so I planned to go there early. Is there something wrong, senior brother?"

Lin Shan: "It's nothing special. There's just a Dharma gathering. You and I are invited."

While handing the invitation to Lei Jun, he introduced: "The host is a princess from the royal family. Representatives from major holy places and aristocratic families are invited to gather together, including Taoism, Buddhism, and Confucianism, to talk about everything. It will be held during the day today, especially I invite Junior Brother Lei to preach at the altar. If you are interested, you can go to the Dharma gathering outside the city first, and then go back to heaven at the invitation of the hall master."

Similar talk is common in Beijing, and Lei Jun has heard of it.

To others, this is an opportunity to further build your reputation.

Lei Jun didn't care much about this.

However, the heirs of various Taoist traditions gathered together to talk about scriptures and communicate with each other. This kind of occasion made Lei Jun a little interested.

While he was thinking about it, unexpectedly, a ball of light suddenly flashed in his mind and words appeared:

【Act according to the contract, act from the heart, each has its own ingenuity, but all come from the same source. 】

What followed were three fortune-tellings:

[Winning the lottery, arriving back to heaven at noon, there is a chance to get a third-grade opportunity. There is no risk at present. There will be some causal entanglements in the future, so deal with it carefully. Good luck. 】

[If you win the lottery and arrive at the Baima Mountain Dharma Ceremony outside the city at noon, you will have a chance to get a fifth-grade opportunity. No risks and no future troubles. Good luck. 】

[If you win the lottery, you will go back to heaven and other places besides White Horse Mountain at noon. You will gain nothing and lose nothing, flat. 】

Well, overall, it’s a pretty good fortune, two of the top picks.

An opportunity is of higher quality, but may have some drawbacks.

The grade of an opportunity is relatively low, but there are no disadvantages in terms of pure income.

As for winning the lottery, it means doing nothing, gaining nothing and losing nothing.

The former corresponds to performance of the contract.

The latter corresponds to moving according to one's heart.

Of course, strictly speaking, choosing the latter option and going to the Baima Mountain Dharma Conference first cannot be considered a breach of contract.

but……

Each has its own ingenuity, but all come from the same source.

What does this mean?

Could the two corresponding opportunities come from the same source?

Many thoughts flashed through Lei Jun's mind, but his face remained calm.

After roughly thinking about it, he declined Lin Shan's offer: "I won't attend the Dharma conference today. I'd better go back to heaven early."

However, he recruited his eldest disciple Zhuo Baojie: "Senior brother, if it's convenient, could you take Hua Jie to expand his horizons?"

"What's the inconvenience? Junior Brother Huajie will leave with me later." Lin Shan didn't think there was anything wrong with it.

If it was him, he might have to consider the impact and etiquette.

And with Lei Jun's current cultivation strength and status, whether to go to such a Dharma Assembly is entirely up to his own interest.

If he went, it would be a rare grand scene since the Dharma Assembly was held.

If he didn't go, it would be a regret for the participants, not his.

"Baobao, come."

Lei Jun summoned his eldest disciple and didn't give any additional instructions. He only said that although the venue of the Dharma Assembly, Baima Mountain, was very close to Luoyang, it was outside the city after all. Normally, no one would dare to take the risk under the feet of the emperor, but as long as you go out, you must not be careless and pay attention to your own safety.

Zhuo Baojie nodded solemnly.

Under the three-dimensional precepts and deeds of the master uncle, the master, and the third uncle, this Gungun usually acts with a cautious attitude.

Except for the occasional greed...

"Take these with you." Lei Jun not only gave his Xirang flag to his eldest disciple, but also secretly added the Taiqing Eight Scenery Treasure Cape.

For him, it was a risk-free middle-upper lot, but not necessarily for Zhuo Baojie, who had cultivated for three days.

Since his disciple was sent to another middle-upper lot, Lei Jun naturally had to make some preparations.

Although Baima Mountain was within the range of his flying sword, Lei Jun could protect his disciple when it was really necessary.

But after all, this was under the eyes of the Queen, and Elder Lei still wanted to keep his little secret for a little longer.

After watching Zhuo Baojie leave with Lin Shan, Lei Jun set off on his own and headed back to heaven.

Even in Luoyang City, there was a distinction between the main hall and the branch hall in the return to heaven.

The branch hall was open to the public all year round, and people came and went in an endless stream.

The main hall was generally not open to the public.

However, the relevant people had already been instructed by Yu Cheng, and when Lei Jun arrived, someone would take him in.

In the front hall, a middle-aged man who looked about 40 years old, thin and well-mannered, was waiting with a smile.

Seeing Lei Jun coming in, he stood up to greet him: "Master Lei, welcome, welcome."

"Mr. Yu, sorry to bother you." Lei Jun bowed in a Taoist manner.

Both parties sat down and chatted for a few words. Lei Jun took out something and gave it to Yu Cheng, the master of Huitiantang.

Yu Cheng took it with a solemn look, took a look at it, and then let out a long breath: "Thank you, Taoist Master Lei!"

Lei Jun: "Mr. Yu, you are too kind. I just got this prescription by chance."

Yu Cheng shook his head gently: "The prescription of Tianluo Powder was created by a certain master in the past. Unfortunately, it was lost due to an accident. Although my master has restored it in recent years, he still hopes to collect the scattered remaining prescriptions to comfort the spirit of the master in heaven.

Today, I have to thank Taoist Master Lei and Longhu Mountain. It's a pity that my master has been traveling abroad in recent years and has not returned to Beijing, otherwise he would be very happy at this moment."

The remaining Tianluo Powder was obtained by Lei Jun in the past in the Tianshu Universe through a transaction with Jupiter, the future Maitreya.

The things he got at that time also included the remaining Tianyuan Qingjing Dan recipe that was lost in the Tianshi Mansion of Longhu Mountain, and the remaining Hanguan Dan recipe from the holy land of Shushan, the Waidan School.

The True One Altar and the Heavenly Master Seal had previously undergone special changes that had never occurred before because of the combination with Lei Jun's soul. They could use the first layer of the True One Altar to deduce incomplete pill and medicine prescriptions.

In addition to his own Tianyuan Qingjing Pill, Lei Jun also successfully restored the Shushan School's Hanguan Pill and the martial arts doctor's version of Tianluo Powder.

Before Zhang Taigang took over as the head of Shushan, Lei Jun brought gifts from the Heavenly Master's Mansion to congratulate him.

One of the gifts was the Hanguan Pill recipe, which surprised Zhang Taigang, Ji Chuan, Ji Dongquan and others.

Now that he came to the capital to return to heaven, Lei Jun provided Yu Cheng with the prescription for Tianluo Powder.

Yu Cheng founded Huitiantang, and his master was the Medicine King Sun Mingjing, who was one of the most brilliant masters of the Tang Dynasty's medical lineage.

He was not young, but he still traveled all year round, discovering and looking for new medicinal materials, and also practicing medicine to save the world. He never asked about his background when he went out to see patients.

Even ordinary people could sometimes get a personal consultation from the Medicine King.

Therefore, in this Tang Dynasty, Medicine King Sun Mingjing has a great reputation.

Lei Jun: "I have always admired the style of the master. Unfortunately, I missed the meeting today. Although it is a pity, I believe that there will be opportunities in the future."

Yu Cheng nodded repeatedly: "If Master Lei has time, you might as well stay in Luoyang for a while. My master has been away for many years. According to his previous habits, he should return to Beijing in recent years."

Lei Jun: "Although I am not sure how long I will stay in Beijing, it would be great if I can wait for Senior Medicine King to return to Beijing."

Compared with Ye Cheng, Chu Lin, Fang Hezhou, Shangguan Qing, Lu Zhen and others, he had a deeper deal with Yu Cheng this time.

Not on his own behalf, but on behalf of the Tianshi Mansion, he contacted Yu Cheng's return to heaven.

The content is that the two sides exchanged what they have on raw materials of medicinal materials and various natural treasures, as well as exchanges on elixirs.

Tianshi Mansion is the ancestral temple of the Taoist talisman school, and it is involved in talisman making, alchemy, and weapon refining.

Lei Jun's master Yuan Mobai is the best alchemist in Tianshi Mansion.

Yu Cheng also highly respects him.

This time, Lei Jun gave him the prescription for Tianluo Powder. Although this prescription has been restored by Medicine King Sun Mingjing, Yu Cheng still owes Lei Jun and Tianshi Mansion a favor for getting the ancient prescription.

Therefore, the two sides talked quite smoothly, and returned to heaven with many preferential treatments in return.

Lei Jun has been learning alchemy from Yuan Mobai for many years, and his attainments have gradually deepened over time.

At this time, communicating with Yu Cheng is beneficial to both sides.

"Master Lei uses the Yin-Yang double thunder to drive the Thunder Heart Furnace to refine the elixir. This method is quite rare and has inspired me a lot." Yu Cheng sighed.

Lei Jun: "It's just a little trick that I suddenly thought of. It's still very superficial. I'm sorry to make you laugh."

Yu Cheng shook his head, his eyes were unusually excited: "Master Lei is too polite. This is quite admirable. How can it be described as a little trick?"

The two sides chatted excitedly, and time passed without noticing that it was almost noon in a blink of an eye.

Yu Cheng realized his guilt, apologized to Lei Jun, and ordered people to prepare food.

Lei Jun's face was calm.

But when the time was approaching the noon mentioned in the fortune, he began to pay attention to the surroundings.

If the queen had not returned to Luoyang, Lei Jun could have turned the Great Zhoutian Magic Mirror around and inspected the inside and outside of the imperial capital.

But since the queen had returned and Luoyang was the capital of the Tang Dynasty, Lei Jun was cautious and did not use the Great Zhoutian Magic Mirror directly to avoid being noticed by the queen.

However, even so, he could monitor the vicinity of Heaven and his eldest disciple Zhuo Baojie through his Tiantong Diche talisman and Tianshi Diting talisman.

Zhuo Baojie went to the Baima Mountain Dharma Assembly with Lin Shan.

Although the participants were disappointed that Lei Jun himself did not come, they could not force anything, so they went on as usual.

A certain little bear, as Lei Jun's disciple, was there to observe the nose and the heart, listening more and talking less.

There was no problem for the whole morning.

Until noon.

There was a commotion at the Dharma Assembly.

Someone noticed that there were traces of evil demons sneaking into Baima Mountain.

The Dharma Assembly was in chaos.

Lei Jun was not worried about the safety of his disciple and fellow disciple Lin Shan.

Although the Dharma Assembly was in chaos, there was no threat from the enemies in the past three days. Lin Shan had been in the martial arts world for many years, so there was no problem.

But when he wanted to find his nephew Zhuo Baojie, he disappeared... No, he disappeared with the bear.

Lei Jun knew where his apprentice was through the Heaven-Seeing and Earth-Listening Talisman.

Well, when the chaos started, the little bear took advantage of the others not paying attention, put on the Taiqing Eight Scenery Treasure Cape, and then held up the Xiran Flag.

He originally wanted to invite his fellow master Lin Shan to join him, but the venue was in chaos and the two were separated.

Zhuo Baojie had to hold the Taiqing Eight Scenery Treasure Cape and the Xiran Flag while looking for Lin Shan.

His cultivation at the level of the three-day level could not fully exert the magic of these two magic weapons.

But the participants were basically all the three-day level cultivators, and they also could not see through Zhuo Baojie's whereabouts.

Seeing this, Lei Jun was relieved, knowing that there was no big problem.

As for whether he could get the fifth-grade opportunity mentioned in the fortune, it was up to fate.

If I get it, I am lucky, if I lose it, I am dead, no need to worry.

Lei Jun now turned his attention to the movements in the heaven where he was.

At noon, the light of the Heaven-Connecting and Earth-Clearing Law Scroll flashed in his eyes. He sensed the movement outside and thought, here they come.

However, Lei Jun did not move for the time being and continued to sit quietly.

After a while, a disciple who had returned to heaven came to report and whispered a few words to Yu Cheng. After listening, Yu Cheng apologized to Lei Jun: "Master Lei, please sit for a while. Something happened outside. I will go to deal with it. Master Lei, please have your meal first."

Lei Jun: "Please, Mr. Yu."

Yu Cheng left.

Lei Jun did not move his chopsticks and waited quietly for his master to return.

Not long after, there was a tremor and noise outside.

Yu Cheng had not returned for a long time, and the noise outside was getting louder and louder.

In the hall, the disciple who had returned to heaven standing by looked uneasy.

Lei Jun asked calmly, "What happened outside?"

The disciple from the Heavenly Palace hesitated for a moment, but answered honestly, "To answer Elder Lei, I heard that people in the Zhao Wang Mansion colluded with the White Lotus Sect, which led to the capture of the Shen Ce Army. The people in the Zhao Wang Mansion refused to surrender, so..."

Lei Jun understood.

Zhao Wang Zhang Teng has recently been the subject of a lot of attention-grabbing news in Youzhou, the north.

Although he never said it clearly, people from all walks of life in the Tang Dynasty had some speculation about his thoughts.

However, logically speaking, he would not openly cooperate with the White Lotus Sect.

After all, the White Lotus Sect was a rebel appointed by the royal family.

How to plan behind the scenes is another matter.

But the more Zhao Wang wanted to take the throne in the palace, the less likely he would openly get involved with places like the White Lotus Sect, Dakong Temple, and the Human Dao Kingdom.

Now that such a thing has suddenly happened, the reason is hard to say.

The Shen Ce Army logically would not act rashly and easily touch places like Zhao Wang Mansion.

The collision between the two sides was somewhat unexpected.

If it were any other time, Lei Jun would just watch the fun.

But now the two sides started fighting, and the location was near the Return to Heaven, and it seemed that the Return to Heaven was about to be involved.

The battle between the two martial arts masters of the upper three days seemed to have concentrated destructive power and not wide-ranging.

But the two of them swept the surroundings, and for a moment, they really died if they were close to each other, and they were injured if they touched each other. They moved quickly, as if multiple masters were attacking at the same time.

Like a withering withered wood and rotten wood, a large area of ​​houses have collapsed.

Half of the house in the Return to Heaven also collapsed.

Although I am not sure what the third-grade opportunity is, the middle-upper sign should be here. If I don’t arrive at noon, the Return to Heaven headquarters may be destroyed because of this battle... Lei Jun thought.

As his Tiantongdiche Falu flowed, the figures of the two fighting parties automatically came into his sight.

Both of them are masters of Bingji martial arts.

One of them holds a big spear, which is Dong An, a general of the Great Tang Shen Ce Army.

The one holding a long spear is Jiang Yuan, a general under the command of King Zhao.

Jiang Yuan's face was livid at this moment. He had already let go of his reservations and ignored the consequences of fighting with the generals of the Shen Ce Army.

As both were masters of the Bingji martial arts, the characteristics of their attacks were similar, both were as fast as lightning and extremely fierce.

However, the difference between the two martial arts styles could still be seen.

Dong An attacked fiercely and quickly, as if he had transformed into thousands of people, and the spear tip was like a rainstorm, stabbing at Jiang Yuan from all directions.

Jiang Yuan used stillness to control movement, sometimes fast and sometimes slow, and his long spear repeatedly blocked Dong An's attacks. He often only counterattacked one or two moves out of ten moves, but they were fast and fierce, and continuously forced Dong An to retreat.

Yu Cheng wanted to separate the two, but as a doctor, although he was also a seventh-level cultivator, he was not good at frontal combat.

Dong An and Jiang Yuan would usually give Yu Cheng some face, but at this moment they had already fought with real anger.

If Yu Cheng dared to approach rashly, the result would only be his own death and injury under the big spear and long spear.

In addition to the main generals of both sides, the soldiers of the Shen Ce Army who came with Dong An also began to surround Jiang Yuan's men, and a wider war was about to begin.

Yu Cheng was anxious when a voice suddenly sounded in his ear: "What a disgrace to the important place of the imperial capital?"

He looked back and saw Lei Jun coming out.

Lei Jun looked around at the damaged Huitiantang and frowned.

But he did not attack directly, but looked at the owner of this place, Yu Cheng: "Yu Jushi?"

Yu Cheng smiled bitterly: "I'm sorry to make you laugh, but as you said, what a disgrace it is now? Yu is weak, so I have to ask you to help."

"Yu Jushi is too serious, and I don't like to fight. I just want to avoid the situation from getting worse. I can only try to separate the two sides."

Lei Jun said: "Please forgive me for my interference."

After that, he nodded to Yu Cheng, and then disappeared on the spot.

When he reappeared, he was already between Dong An of the Shen Ce Army and Jiang Yuan of the Zhao Wang Mansion.

The two men's spears and long halberds that pierced through rocks and cut through rivers were falling on Lei Jun.

The two upper three days martial arts masters were shocked.

Then they saw a blur in front of their eyes.

Amid the twinkling stars, it seemed as if a god surrounded by stars appeared between the two sides.

The direct descendant of the Tianshi Mansion, Dou Mu Star God Dharma Image!

The Dou Mu Star God Dharma Image transformed by Lei Jun did not dodge or parry, with his hands behind his back.

It was just that the talismans around him flowed like stars, which made the spears and long halberds that stabbed him deviate and could not cause him any harm.

At the same time, thunder and dragon roars sounded together.

The purple Yang Lei Dragon and the black Yin Lei Dragon appeared at the same time, hovering around Lei Jun.

The Yang Lei Dragon stretched out its claws and grabbed Dong An and his spear directly in its claws.

Yin Leilong also made the same move, holding Jiang Yuan on the other side with one claw.

For a moment, the two martial arts masters were unable to move.

The lightning was so overwhelming that the people around who were about to fight had to retreat one after another.

Those who dared not retreat were paralyzed on the spot.

No one was killed or injured at the scene.

Only Lei Jun, who regained his original form after the starlight disappeared, calmly looked at Dong An and Jiang Yuan who were held by Yang Leilong and Yin Leilong respectively:

"Two generals, please be patient."
