Chapter 354 353 The National Master's Bones, the Heavenly Master's Enlightenment (Two in One)

Chapter 354 353. The foundation of the national master, the understanding of the heavenly master (two chapters in one)

Tang Xiaotang couldn't help but feel very good after hearing what the Queen said that she had no intention of compensating for the Sumeru Vajra Tribe's protection.

Lei Jun is convinced.

It is the next reaction of the Sumeru Vajra Division that arouses people's imagination.

Although the Lord of the Vajra Tribe, Garuda, seems very calm, the Vajra Tribe has also shown great respect to the Tang Dynasty in the past few years.

However, judging from the other party's proactive style in disseminating scriptures and meanings, Lei Jun did not think that the Vajra Division would accept all this calmly.

Otherwise, Tang Xiaotang and Her Majesty the Queen would join forces on this big job.

After hearing Tang Xiaotang's first promise, the Queen finally put down her fishing rod, stood up and turned around.

This woman with the most elegant looks in the country moved her eyes between Lei Jun and Tang Xiaotang, and finally landed on Tang Xiaotang. She nodded slightly and said, "Thank you for your hard work, sir."

After Lei Jun and the others left, Queen Zhang Wantong also drove away from the small pavilion in the middle of the lake. Chu Yu followed her, and the others fell behind.

"Your Majesty, it seemed just now..." Chu Yu said with some uncertainty.

The Queen knew what she wanted to say: "Shu Yin, your feeling is correct. Tang Xiaotang is eager to try. He wants to compete with me and weigh me."

Although it confirmed his previous feeling that seemed to be nothing, Chu Yu couldn't help being speechless, and after a moment he laughed: "She!"

The Queen strolled along: "No surprise."

Chu Yu smiled: "I heard that she has always wanted to compete with Master Xu. I wonder if she got her wish? After both of them reached the ninth level of cultivation, they may have had a formal competition."

What Tang Xiaotang said about "discussing" and "weighing" is indeed the literal meaning, and there is no need to extend it.

She is competitive and has a high level of ambition. Not only people of high level can arouse her interest, but only certain few people.

In similar situations, she is often not hostile.

"At least for now, that's not the case with Tang." The Queen said calmly.

Chu Yu chuckled: "Zhenren Xu is very good at killing people. If you can't beat her in the first fight, it will become more and more difficult in the future."

She looked at the Queen: "This aspect is similar to your Majesty's."

Queen: "The results are similar, but the inside is different."

Chu Yu smiled and nodded.

She remembered something, and then asked softly: "Your Majesty, where is Master Lei Tian?"

Queen: "The face is like a flat lake, and the chest is thunderous... It is true that things under the water cannot be seen clearly, but what floats on the water is not all disguise, and some of the true temperament can be seen."

Chu Yu thought thoughtfully: "So, he is indeed not pushing Zhenren Tang to be a puppet in front of the stage, or considering the relationship between the two parties and intending to give in, but he himself has no intention of becoming a national master."

Queen: "He and Xu Yuanzhen have many differences, but they also have some similarities."

Chu Yu nodded slightly.

………………

The heads of major holy places came to Luoyang, the imperial capital, to pay homage to the Holy Spirit, which aroused widespread concern.

Not only people from the Buddhist and Taoist sects were concerned, but also the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty and various places were also concerned.

Shangshu's right servant shot Guo Yuan and went to Fang Hezhou's house as a guest.

When the court servants came to Shangguan Qing's house, they also welcomed guests.

Lu Zhen, an important general of the Shence Army.

"It's Zhenren Tang, not Master Lei Tian." Lu Zhen sighed with emotion.

Shangguan Qing said: "Actually, it's not completely unexpected."

Not long after the Celestial Master passed the throne, Lei Jun became the Celestial Master and took charge of the Celestial Master's Mansion in Longhu Mountain and the Taoist Fulu Sect.

As a national advisor, most of your energy will be focused on the imperial court. Not only will you spend a considerable part of the year in Luoyang, the emperor's presence, but you will also find time to travel around the world.

Tang Xiaotang, who has resigned from the position of Heavenly Master, does not have this problem.

Although, with her temperament, she may not be able to sit down in Luoyang.

"Master Lei Tian is still at the eighth level of cultivation, while Tang Zhenren is at the ninth level of Mahayana."

Shangguan Qing said: "Based on personal merit, Tang Zhenren deserves the honor."

Lu Zhen said slowly: "Yes... Qianye Butterfly King, Wei Ancheng, Kang'an Taoist, Changtian Canglang, just don't count them. If you count carefully, there are already four."

This does not include people or demons at levels below the Nine Heavens.

If the most valuable Huang Xuanpu was not missing, it can be said that Tang Xiaotang is the undisputed number one contributor.

Except for the period before and after the founding of the Tang Dynasty, there was no worse report card than this in the Taiping years.

It is indeed worthy of the title of the true protector of demons and demons in the sky.

Such a Taoist Mahayana high-spirited and canonized Dharma protector has no one who disagrees with him in terms of his merits.

The possible controversy lies more in the fact that this former Heavenly Master was a bit...intimate in his conduct.

I remember that after the demon rebellion in Guanlong, just after repelling the demons, this Tang Zhenren beat Master Sangjie, who had joined hands to fight against the demons just a moment ago.

Such a figure became the national master who led the Buddhist and Taoist sects of the Tang Dynasty and assisted the sects in the world. It really made people sweat after hearing the news.

"I can only hope that Master Lei Tian and Master Yuan can help and advise Master Tang." Shangguan Qing said.

Lu Zhen sighed: "If Master Lei Tian can always be there to help, then there will be no need for the National Master..."

He paused and continued: "However, this is not a bad idea."

Shangguan Qing: "Well, the Imperial Master is granted the title of Tianshi Mansion, and the Taoist Talisman Sect is about to flourish, but the specifics will depend on what happens next."

Whether Tang Xiaotang, Lei Jun, or Xu Yuanzhen become the Imperial Master of the Tang Dynasty, it means that the Longhu Mountain Tianshi Mansion will be further recognized and supported by the Tang imperial family.

Depending on the situation, the Taoist Fulu sect may become the state religion.

Even if it does not reach that step, it is certain that the influence of the Longhu Mountain Tianshi Mansion will be further expanded and deepened.

From this perspective, there was a lot of controversy when the important officials of the imperial court discussed this matter.

It is true that the Longhu Mountain Tianshi Mansion has made great contributions to the country, but they are constantly expanding.

At this time, the Tang Dynasty imperial family gave a boost...

"Next, pay closer attention to the Sumeru Vajra Division." Shangguan Qing said.

Lu Zhen: "Don't worry, the general is in Guanzhong. I will also arrange for others to go to the northwest."

Shangguan Qing nodded lightly.

After Lu Zhen hesitated for a moment, he said, "Strong branches and weak trunks are gradually showing up, what can I do?"

Shangguan Qing was speechless upon hearing this.

The Zhangtang royal family, including the Shangguan, Lu and other martial arts families surrounding the imperial family, together formed the basic base of the Tang imperial family.

It is said that the famous family has five surnames and seven hopes.

But in terms of a single surname, the Zhangtang royal family is now the most powerful family in the Tang Dynasty.

Even in these troubled times, the royal family is still the group with the most masters in the past three days.

Even excluding Zhang Dongyuan, Zhang Jingzhen and other people who have inherited the Holy Land, and only counting civil and military personnel, the Zhangtang royal family still has the absolute highest number of eighth-level masters in the world.

The problem lies in the higher realm of Nine Heavens.

The spiritual energy of heaven and earth surges, which is conducive to the cultivation of monks. At the same time, the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths return to the human world. It is also discovered that there are other human worlds besides the Tang Dynasty. More masters of the Nine Heavens have emerged than before.

Under this situation, the center of the Tang Dynasty imperial family lacked the Nine Heavens giants other than the Tang Emperor for one reason or another.

With great difficulty, King Zhao Zhang Teng succeeded in taking a step further and became a martial saint, but he had ulterior motives.

Perhaps, this is the inevitable result of being born in an imperial family.

Regardless of the reasons, the result is that the current Tang imperial family lacks important officials who can take charge of their own affairs without worrying about loyalty issues.

After all, the Queen has a special status and should not be released lightly.

"I can't wait and share the worries of the imperial court." Lu Zhen lamented: "The origins of the rise of the Tianshi Mansion in Longhu Mountain and the previous advancement of the Xumi Vajra Division are actually here."

He looked at Shangguan Qing and said, "General, in recent years, has he shown any intention of practicing retreat?"

Shangguan Qing shook his head and said calmly: "It will be very difficult in the past few years."

Lu Zhen sighed again.

He himself was actually in the same situation as Shangguan Yunbo and even Shangguan Qing in front of him.

They have all passed the window period before the age of 200 and entered the plateau period.

Continue to make breakthroughs upward, not to say there is no hope, but it is far from as smooth as young people.

Especially in the natural chasm disaster between big realms, if you are not careful, you will die directly.

What left Shangguan Qing and Lu Zhen speechless was that the Zhangtang royal family and even the Shangguan clan, those who were most likely to catch up with this wave of heaven and earth surges in recent decades and hit the realm of the Nine Heavens, fell early in the demonic chaos in the Western Regions that year. .

That battle was the heaviest loss for the center of the Tang imperial family in the past few hundred years.

In addition to the late emperor Zhang Qilong being seriously injured, the old leader of the Shangguan clan also died.

At the same time, many experts from the Tang Dynasty imperial family were among the victims.

One of them was a Mesozoic leader of the Shangguan clan who was even better than Shangguan Yunbo, but he also died in the Western Regions.

If he is still alive, in thirty or forty years, he will most likely have reached the level of a Heavenly Martial Saint at the ninth level of martial arts.

The empress, Zhang Wantong, became a blockbuster. With her talent and talents, even without the emperor's imperial skills to bless the country's destiny, she could still achieve the realm of Confucian nine-level balance, but it would be a little late at best.

By then, the number of top masters in the clan will be considerable.

Because of the strong center, King Zhao Zhang Teng will still be the old prince who guards the northern border of the dynasty and is loyal through the ages.

Shangguan Yunbo doesn't need to run around and suffer major and minor injuries. If he calms down and recuperates, his situation will probably be much better than it is now.

However, things are unpredictable.

One step away, decades later, the world is completely different.

Discussing the masters of the Eighth Heaven Realm who are currently rising in the Tang Dynasty imperial family, they are probably... Xiao Xueting, Chu Yu, and Shen Qubing.

No one is from the clan, and no one is from the founding nobles.

Xiao Xueting and Chu Yu both had extraordinary family backgrounds, but no matter from which angle they looked at it, it was not the case.

"The late emperor...hey!" Lu Zhen shook his head gently.

Looking back now, the late Emperor Zhang Qilong acted out of caution, impatience and lack of caution.

"The late emperor did not go to Longwai in person, so the outcome of the battle in the Western Regions might have been different."

Shangguan Qing was calmer: "But everything that happens in the next few decades may also change. How it will turn out now, whether it will be better or worse, no one can predict."

He exclaimed: "The Pseudo-Ming Dynasty, the Pseudo-Song Dynasty and other dynasties were in this world. Maybe it was the end of the Han Dynasty when time and space were special, and different people made different choices."

Lu Zhen took a deep breath: "Yes, I am too entangled in the past."

He raised his head and looked at Shangguan Qing: "It's time to face the present. The branches are strong and the trunk is weak. Although His Majesty is in the prime of the Spring and Autumn Period and can sit on the throne for many years, the foundation of our country, the Tang Dynasty..."

Upon hearing this, Shangguan Qing looked towards the East Palace although he was inside the house.

………………

The Crown Prince of the Tang Dynasty is currently not in the East Palace.

Situations like this are a big deal.

But it also depends on where he goes.

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince of the Tang Dynasty is currently visiting the Celestial Master of Longhu Mountain.

When the Heavenly Master passed on the throne, Prince Zhang Hui was unable to leave Beijing to watch the ceremony in person at Longhu Mountain due to various reasons, which he has always regretted.

Now that the Heavenly Master has entered Luoyang, the imperial capital, he naturally goes to visit.

Lei Jun is not staying at Baiyun Temple now, but he, Zhang Taigang, Abbot Miaoxin and other leaders of various sects are staying in a building specially arranged by the imperial court.

At this moment, the sound of the piano came from the courtyard where Lei Jun lived, and the lingering sound lingered.

Lei Jun was sitting on the main seat, calmly looking at Prince Zhang Hui playing the piano.

After the other party stopped, he spoke: "His Royal Highness's musical attainments are even better than those of everyone in Suzhou, which is admirable."

There were no attendants present, so Zhang Hui put away the guqin himself and said with a smile: "I am good but not good, which makes the Heavenly Master laugh."

Compared with pen and ink paintings, his musical skills can only be called average.

But that's because his paintings are so good.

The Ye Clan in Qingzhou is famous for his paintings, and few people can surpass him now.

The other two audience members on the side also applauded: "Your Highness is too modest."

Zhang Hui said with a smile: "Qingyan might even comfort me, but I will take Mr. Yongshan's compliments seriously."

Opposite him, Mr. Yongshan Fang Yue said calmly but seriously: "Your Highness has achieved considerable attainments in the art of music."

Meng Shaojie on the side smiled: "Your Highness, what the student just said also comes from the heart."

Zhang Hui smiled and said: "In front of the Heavenly Master, Mr. Yongshan is a great expert. Qingyan should not praise me anymore."

Fang Yue: "We don't dare to take this seriously, but on that day, Fang was unable to go to the Longhu Mountain Passage Ceremony to congratulate him due to some matters. I am going to pay a visit to the Heavenly Master today, so I can perform a song to express my feelings."

Lei Jun: "Master Fang is too polite. I really don't dare to take it seriously. I'm just looking for a blessing today, so I'd like to thank you first."

Fang Yue: "How dare you."

While speaking, he took out an ordinary-looking bamboo flute.

Prince Zhang Hui put his hands on his hands and said with a smile: "I gave it a try, and it's done."

Fang Yue nodded to Lei Jun, Zhang Hui, and Meng Shaojie, and then played the bamboo flute.

He is an eighth-level Confucian who has reached the trance state of Confucian chanting.

At this moment, there is no need to specifically arouse the spiritual energy of the surrounding heaven and earth. A wonderful scene is created in front of Lei Jun and others. The surrounding scene changes, and everyone feels like they are among the green mountains and clear water.

When Fang Yue stops, the lingering sound lingers, literally lingering around the beams, and the beautiful scenery of mountains and rivers lasts for a long time, making people feel like they are in a fairyland.

"I haven't been moving for a long time. Fortunately, I'm not unfamiliar and won't make anyone laugh." Fang Yue put away his bamboo flute.

In recent years, he has been busy with school affairs and rarely plays musical instruments.

But with his current level of cultivation, everything is close to the Tao, and he can still pick it up easily after a long time, and he will not be unfamiliar with it.

"There are more and more schools in various places, but Fang Jushi is very dedicated and hardworking, which is admirable." Lei Jun said.

In the past few years, as the three academic palaces in Luoyang, Chang'an and Jianye gradually got on the right track, Fang Yue followed the Queen's order and began to establish the fourth and even more academic palaces in the future.

"There are more and more accomplished people in the academy, and I have actually become more relaxed in recent years." Fang Yue nodded to Meng Shaojie.

The other party is already one of the signature figures of the Academy today.

Just three years ago, Meng Shaojie successfully reached the seventh heaven realm.

This is the first three-day scholar trained by the Tang Academy.

As of today, Meng Shaojie is only forty-six years old, not yet fifty, and has a bright future.

This was despite his previous years of wasted practice.

But as soon as he became enlightened and accumulated a lot of knowledge, he soon soared into the sky.

What makes Xiao Chunhui and Fang Yue even more gratified is that besides Meng Shaojie, other newcomers in the academy are gradually starting to become talented.

"Ling Hui and Song Hang, although they are still in the third level of cultivation, they both have great potential." Fang Yue said seriously.

Lei Jun: "Thanks to your majesty and the laymen Xiao and Fang who have worked hard for many years, we have achieved this state of affairs."

Prince Zhang Hui also expressed emotion: "Looking back at the past years when I listened to the lectures of gentlemen in the academy, it feels like it was yesterday. Today, the academy continues to grow, which is really gratifying."

Fang Yue looked at Lei Jun: "The academy intends to build a new palace in the Xiaoxiang Yuelu area. Wangtianshi and Longhushan should not mind."

Lei Jun: "I am happy to see its success, so there is no harm in setting it up in Yuzhang."

Fang Yue: "His Royal Highness the King of Xiang's hospitality is hard to deny. If the culture of Xiaoxiang prevails, then Nanhuang, Qianzhou and other places will benefit. It would be even better if we can get Tianshi and Longhu Mountain Zhouquan."

Everyone chatted for a few more words, and Lei Jun looked at Meng Shaojie: "I heard that Mr. Meng intends to leave Beijing for a trip?"

Meng Shaojie: "While reading thousands of books, you should also travel thousands of miles. Therefore, students intend to travel around the world and conduct field research on inscriptions, classics and documents to increase their knowledge."

He achieved the seventh level of heaven and opened up a new world. He browsed a large number of historical books and summarized and repaired them. In addition to the large collection of books provided by Xiao Chunhui and Xuegong, there were also a large number of books and documents provided by Prince Zhang Hui and Fang Yue.

Therefore, I have been studying behind closed doors for many years, and my accumulation is still increasing day by day.

However, as his cultivation deepened, Meng Shaojie's path of cultivation also began to expand.

"I really envy Qingyan." Zhang Hui looked at Meng Shaojie and sighed with a smile.

Meng Shaojie: "Students are going out this time to pay more attention to the paintings and music scores of previous generations for Your Highness. I hope to gain something and bring it back for Your Highness."

Zhang Hui smiled and said: "That would be great. I'll wait for your good news."

Later, the three of them left one after another.

After Lei Jun saw them off, he quietly did his evening classes.

During his stay in Luoyang, he had an endless stream of customers every day.

Lei Jun mostly received them normally.

When I met Meng Shaojie and other familiar people, I would chat more.

However, similar people are limited.

Shen Qubing and he just missed each other. Currently, he went to the Guanlong area in the northwest. He followed the order of General Shangguan Yunbo and wiped out the remnants of the invasion of the Lone Eagle Khanate.

Xiao Xueting was practicing in seclusion recently.

Chu Yu once came to visit.

As a favorite of the emperor, her every move attracted much attention.

But it was okay for now.

The court finally announced that it would confer the title of the former Heavenly Master Tang Zhenren as the Protector of the Tang Dynasty.

The matter was very serious, and all ceremonies and rituals needed to be prepared in advance. Therefore, the specific time of the conferment ceremony was set on the first day of the first month of the new year a few months later, to celebrate with the country.

Chu Yu came to discuss the detailed schedule and arrangements with Lei Jun and Tang Xiaotang.

After roughly agreeing, Lei Jun and Tang Xiaotang returned to the ancestral temple of Longhu Mountain together.

Tang Xiaotang didn't have many personal belongings to take.

But according to the ritual etiquette, she will first offer sacrifices to the heaven, earth, nature and ancestors of all generations at the ancestral temple of the Tianshi Mansion in Longhu Mountain before the New Year, and then officially enter the imperial capital Luoyang to participate in the canonization ceremony at the time of the New Year.

As a Tianshi, Lei Jun will preside over the ceremony for her at Longhu Mountain.

The news was passed back to the Tianshi Mansion in Longhu Mountain, and everyone in the mansion was proud of it.

The national master was enthroned in the Tianshi Mansion, which means that the Taoist talisman school will be further prosperous in the future.

At least the official attitude of the Tang court is more closely connected with the Tianshi Mansion in Longhu Mountain.

"Brother, do you have something to say?" After returning to the mountain, Lei Jun asked when he saw Wang Guiyuan who came to greet him.

Wang Guiyuan glanced at Tang Xiaotang, who was in high spirits, and shook his head: "No, no."

Tang Xiaotang chuckled: "That's right, don't say anything to spoil the fun."

Yuan Mobai smiled and said: "Everyone has his own destiny. It's not bad to be as brave and diligent as Xiaotang, but it's hard for others to imitate."

Lei Jun nodded gently.

Tang Xiaotang is indeed brave and diligent.

In the past few years, she has been fighting in the south and the north, but she has not delayed her own practice.

Earlier, when she was looking for the traces of the Changtian Canglang in the northern border, before she blocked the other party for the time being, Tang Xiaotang was moved by her thoughts and practiced in silence for a period of time. Her cultivation level even went up to a higher level, successfully reaching the second level of the ninth heaven of the Taoist Fulu School, practicing Danling Sanqi, and achieving Sanguang Yanxia.

"The biggest gain is still this thing."

Tang Xiaotang was in high spirits, holding a ball of golden light above her palm. Surrounded by the hot golden light, what was confined in it was a pale gas mass that looked dull and dull.

The air mass contains deep spirituality, but at this moment it is all restrained and not visible to the outside, with only a trace of pure and innate Yin Qi flowing.

Surrounded by Tang Xiaotang's pure Yang magic power, the trace of Yin Qi is not suppressed or destroyed, but intertwined with the masculine golden light.

It was the Chu Yin Jue Po that was discovered by the Chang Tian Cang Lang before, and built a secret nest to take care of Yun Sheng.

Tang Xiaotang chased the Chang Tian Cang Lang, smashed the nest and found this spiritual object. She was busy chasing the Chang Tian Cang Lang, and then Lei Jun went to the northern border to warm it up, then collected it and handed it over to Tang Xiaotang.

"How far is it for Junior Brother Xiaotang to achieve the Taichu Dao Body?" Yuan Mobai asked.

Tang Xiaotang waved his hand.

Four golden light balls were lined up in the air.

In addition to the light ball that contained the Chu Yin Jue Po, the other three also had something inside.

The Chu Yang Jade Seal that Lei Jun brought back at the beginning was now floating next to the Chu Yin Jue Po.

Then, one of the other two light balls seemed to contain a completely transparent spirit with form and no substance, and the other seemed to contain a mass of unpredictable gas with form and no substance.

"The Xiantian Taixu spirit and the Zhouyou Wufang Qi are all spiritual objects I got earlier, and they also laid the foundation for my immortal body to be sublimated into a Taoist body."

Tang Xiaotang smiled at Lei Jun and Xu Yuanzhen: "So I said, my luck is not particularly bad."

She pointed at Chuyang Yuzhang and Chuyin Juepo: "With these two spiritual objects, success is in sight, and only the last few are missing. I already have a number."

Tang Xiaotang's pupils seemed to be leaping with pure golden thunder and fire: "There is still a spiritual object called Poxu Fanyuan Stone missing."

The others nodded slightly: "Well, let's pay attention next time."

"Lei Jun, what about you?" Tang Xiaotang wiped her palm, and the four light balls disappeared in the air together.

Lei Jun replied: "The unity of the chapters and tables of the Heavenly Palace opens up the wonderful realm. Based on this, we can further communicate with the universe and nature. The upward and downward circulation of heaven and earth will serve as a channel. There is hope that the acquired quiet enlightenment will be transformed into natural enlightenment, and we can further communicate with heaven and earth and nature.

Previously, we already have the spiritual object Jiuquan Shenglingjue, which is above the nine abysses of Huangquan and the nine heavens of Biluo. Next, we need a spiritual object from Biluo to Huangquan.

Such treasures are hard to find, and it is not enough to find them. They need to be paired like Jiuquan Shenglingjue. Only in this way can we connect the universe and the underworld, one up and one down, and communicate with heaven and earth and nature."

Tang Xiaotang's eyes rolled around: "So, it is also possible to land in Huangquan among the ten lands, or Biluo among the nine heavens?"

Lei Jun: "It is not appropriate to assert at present, just go with the flow."

People have different ways of getting along with each other.

Although Xu Yuanzhen also raised his enlightenment to the natural level after birth, his path and opportunity were different from Lei Jun.

So it is no longer of reference value at present.

Besides, the opportunities she had obtained in the past have not reappeared for many years.

Just like the path Lei Jun is taking now, it can only be used by him alone.

The wonderful world created by the integration of the upper and lower parts of the Tiangong chapter is used to improve people's understanding, and there is only one chance.

Since Lei Jun got the Jiuquan Shenglingjue first, Tang Xiaotang simply stopped thinking about it.

She asked out of curiosity: "By the way, Lei Jun, do you have any clues about your Tai Chi body?"

Lei Jun: "Not yet, just wait for the opportunity."

Tang Xiaotang asked Xu Yuanzhen aside: "Sister..."

Xu Yuanzhen knew that the other party wanted to ask her if she could also achieve the immortal body and bones: "Maybe tomorrow, maybe in a few years."

Lei Jun was thoughtful when he heard the words.

"I'm going back to the Wanfa Sect altar first." Xu Yuanzhen stood up and waved his hands casually.

During Tang Xiaotang's trip to the northern border, he was most concerned about Chu Yin Jue Po.

Xu Yuanzhen was more interested in the former residence of Huang Xuanpu that she found. After careful study of the things she brought back from there, she made new discoveries.

Lei Jun looked at Tang Xiaotang: "Senior Sister has been granted the title of National Preceptor and will be stationed in Luoyang, the imperial capital..."

As soon as he was halfway through speaking, he saw Tang Xiaotang's eyes wandering across from him.

Lei Jun seemed unaware and continued: "Although our sect does not insist on expansion, we must take corresponding measures to cooperate with the young senior sister to assist the four sects. My idea is that the sect in Luoyang, the Imperial Capital, will establish a branch and specially dispatch suitable people. Manpower is available to assist the young senior sister, and the elder Gao Gong is directly selected to lead the team. Does the young senior sister have a suitable candidate? "

"That's a good idea!"

Tang Xiaotang's eyes lit up: "Who is the candidate? I don't really care who it is."

As long as she can handle the court well while she is away from Beijing.

Lei Jun: "In that case, Senior Brother Lin and Senior Sister Zhang are relatively familiar in Luoyang, so let's ask them what they mean first."

In comparison, Lin Shan's attitude is slightly more positive than Zhang Jingzhen's.

He had previously taught in the Academy and had been stationed in Luoyang, the imperial capital, for many years.

After that, he returned to the mountain for three days of cultivation in seclusion.

Nowadays, achieving great Taoist achievements is another story.

So in the end, the Tianshi Mansion in Longhu Mountain chose Lin Shan to accompany Tang Xiaotang to the capital, and assist Tang Xiaotang in handling various matters related to the appointment of the national master in Luoyang, the imperial capital.

In addition to Linshan, other elders and disciples of Shilu from Longhu Mountain will also go there to help Tang Xiaotang set up the stand in front of the Protector of the Country.

"Senior sister is granted the title of Imperial Master and assists in the affairs of all sects in the world. It is not the responsibility of one family, one surname, one sect, or one sect."

Lei Jun told Lin Shan: "Except for my disciples from the Tianshi Mansion, all the major holy places in the world have sent people to assist in their management. In this way, we can jointly build peace and tranquility in the world."

During his previous stay in Luoyang, he had received greetings and sent them off. He had communicated a lot with the leaders of the major holy places who also went to Beijing on this matter, and basically reached a tacit understanding.

Not only the Chunyang and Shushan sects of Taoism, but also the major holy places of Buddhism also have communication, and each sect will send people over.

Lin Shan: "The leader has everything in mind."

After the other party left, Wang Guiyuan sat next to Lei Jun and asked thoughtfully: "Have we also talked about the Sumeru Vajra Division?"

Lei Jun: "Yes, and Jalata himself."

The leader of the Vajra Tribe looked solemn in appearance, spoke harmoniously, and looked like he and Lei Tianshi were reluctant to meet each other at such a late date.

In his words, he expressed his blessing for the position of national master to be transferred to the Tianshi Mansion, and looked forward to more exchanges between the two parties.

However, the meeting with Yi Buddha and the others was more superficial and polite, and there was no in-depth discussion.

The leader of the Vajra Tribe, Garuda, is more of a statement, as if he bows to the Tianshi Mansion on Longhu Mountain on behalf of the Sumeru Vajra Tribe.

Wang Guiyuan: "When he went from the Western Regions to Bashu, he passed through the snowy mountains of western Sichuan. It seemed like he was on the way, but I felt that he was going for you."

Lei Jun: "He may not have wanted to save me at that time. After all, there was still the matter of Lishu Mountain in front of him. He probably wanted to find out my details at that time to decide his next move."

It's just that in the battles between Bashu and Nanzhao, everything was not as expected by the Vajra Division, so there was no end.

This time when the Tang Dynasty was canonized as a national master, the Vajra Department behaved extremely modestly and peacefully.

But Lei Jun never thought that the other party was so calm from the beginning until now.

If the other party doesn't show off at the moment, he might have other plans.

Lei Jun has a peaceful mind. In addition to being wary of and paying attention to the trends of Buddhism in the Western Regions, he focuses on improving himself and his Longhu Mountain Tianshi Mansion, while preparing for the canonization ceremony around the New Year.

Time goes by, Lei Jun spends his sixty-fifth birthday, summer goes to autumn, and then winter comes soon.

Everyone on Longhu Mountain has made preparations for the upcoming ceremony.

"There is no new news in the Western Region for the time being."

Yuan Mo Bai said: "There is a happy event in Luoyang, the imperial capital, recently."

The Crown Prince of the Tang Dynasty, Prince Zhang Hui, succeeded in reaching a higher level after winter this year, reaching the eighth level of heaven.

"Calculating the time, it's time to arrive."

Masters and disciples Yuan Mobai and Lei Jun were not surprised by this.

During Zhang Hui's second tour, he was affected by the internal disputes within the Bailian Sect in Tianguling.

The real core target of that battle was not Zhang Hui.

But he still revealed some details about himself.

A stroke of genius, one of the most suitable talents for Confucian practice, equivalent to the immortal body of a Taoist practitioner.

Once this secret came out, no matter how slow Zhang Hui was in his cultivation, it would become unjustifiable.

It just so happened that when His Royal Highness the Crown Prince came of age, he was worried about the turmoil in the affairs of the Tang Dynasty and began to devote himself to studying. It makes sense that his cultivation would improve faster in the future.

He is forty-seven years old this year and has entered the eighth heaven realm, which is rare in this world.

Because the Emperor's Imperial Art gathers the luck of mountains and rivers, it doesn't look as outstanding as his aunt Zhang Wantong's, but it's still pretty good.

In recent years, His Highness the Crown Prince's virtuous reputation has begun to be more and more prominent within the territory of the Tang Dynasty.

Especially in Qingzhou, Suzhou, Jingxiang and other places.

"It's been a troubled time." Yuan Mo's smile remained unchanged on his white face.

Lei Jun also smiled and said, "We'll just follow nature and follow people's will."

In December, representatives from the imperial court of the Tang Dynasty arrived at Mount Longhu.

Then, Tianshi Lei Jun personally opened the Wanfa Zongtan to perform rituals and presided over the ceremony for Tang Xiaotang, which marked the starting point for her to be canonized.

After Tang Xiaotang entered the Wanfa Zongtan and the forbidden land of the ancestral mausoleum in the back mountain to offer sacrifices to the heaven and earth and the ancestors of all generations, he set off for the imperial capital Luoyang with the representatives of the imperial court.

Tianshi Lei entrusted his master Yuan Mobai to preside over the next New Year ceremony at Mount Longhu. After arranging everything, he and Lin Shan and others left the mountain with Tang Xiaotang and spent this year's New Year in the imperial capital Luoyang.

The group walked and stopped, paying homage to the mountains and rivers of the Tang Dynasty along the way, and walked slowly towards Luoyang.

The matter of canonizing the national teacher has been announced to the world.

This New Year, the imperial capital Luoyang is more festive than in previous years.

Emperor Zhang Wantong of the Tang Dynasty personally presided over the ceremony and enjoyed it with the people.

On the New Year's Day, in the second half of the ceremony, Tang Xiaotang arrived in Beijing and accepted the canonization, completing the final celebration.

After the New Year, she will go out of Beijing again according to her schedule and travel all over the mountains and rivers. After the sacrifice, she will officially return to Luoyang to stay.

Lei Jun will not need to accompany her in the second half of the trip. After the Luoyang New Year ceremony, he will return to the Longhu Mountain ancestral temple.

In addition to Lei Jun, Lin Shan and other Longhu Mountain fellows who attended the Luoyang ceremony, representatives from Shushan Sect, Chunyang Palace, and even Tianlong Temple, Bodhi Temple and other Buddhist and Taoist holy places in the world also congratulated.

The Shushan Sect is Xie Yiying, a newly promoted high-level elder who had previously sought advice from Tang Xiaotang on the Chunyang Dharma.

The Chunyang Palace is a mature and prudent elder of the Seventh Heaven.

The representative of Tianlong Temple is Monk Fa Ming, whom Lei Jun has dealt with.

The representative of Xuantian Temple, Master Kong Jing, is also an old man. Due to the previous civil strife, this Buddhist holy place is currently lacking a new generation of masters.

A Seventh Heaven monk from Vajra Temple is a new face.

The representative of Bodhi Temple is the only one who is a cultivator of the middle three-day level. This is not their fault. Except for the new abbot Ruyuan, they currently have no other cultivators of the upper three-day level. However, there is news that other newcomers have emerged in the lineage of Bodhi Temple.

Representatives of the major sects and holy places will meet outside Luoyang City, and then enter Luoyang with Tang Xiaotang. Later, these people will also represent their respective sects and stay in Luoyang to cooperate with the Tang court and Tang Xiaotang.

On the day of the grand ceremony, Luoyang was full of brilliance, and the heaven and earth seemed to be ringing with it, but it did not make the people afraid. Instead, the festive atmosphere seemed to be in harmony with it, celebrating the Tang Dynasty.

This is a strange phenomenon caused by the influence of the luck of the mountains and rivers... Lei Jun understood it in his heart.

From a distance, in addition to the empress who seemed to be the spirit of heaven and earth and the brilliance of the four directions, the new national teacher Tang Xiaotang also seemed to have a bit of aura.

Tang Xiaotang still wore a purple Taoist robe, but this time it was specially made. Based on the original Taoist robe of the Tianshi Mansion, it was blessed with gold patterns. The left and right lapels and sleeves were decorated with pine and crane patterns, and behind them was a dragon and phoenix singing in harmony, embracing the Yin-Yang Tai Chi diagram. From a distance, she looked like she was wearing a purple and gold Taoist robe.

Under the shroud of the earth's aura, her already tall figure looked more like a fairyland.

In recent years, the Tang Dynasty, which has been plagued by internal and external troubles, at least at this moment, at least in Luoyang City, colorful clouds soared into the sky, and the scene of prosperity was obvious.

In the distant sky outside Luoyang City, there was a black thundercloud hanging in the air, like a frozen glacier.

Xu Yuanzhen, wearing a purple Taoist robe and a black cloak, looked at Luoyang City in the distance calmly:

"Vanity."

Lei Jun was not here, but his voice rang in the air: "Is the senior sister ready to leave?"

Xu Yuanzhen: "The ceremony is over, Xiaotang has already sat in the seat she wanted to sit, so there is no need to look at the tedious things later."

Lei Jun: "I wish the senior sister a smooth journey to Penglai."

Xu Yuanzhen said "hmm".

The thundercloud that seemed to be frozen in the sky moved, carrying Xu Yuanzhen eastward, all the way to overseas.
