Chapter 171 170 Tang Xiaotang Comes Out of Retreat and Returns to the Mountain to Settle Accounts

Chapter 171 170. Tang Xiaotang comes out of confinement and returns to the mountain to settle accounts

After listening to Lei Jun's words, Yueyao said, "Can you tell me what kind of elixir it is?"

Lei Jun: "Chengjing Dan."

Yue Yao: "It's a pity that it's a residual recipe. Speaking of which, I remember that Mu Yao also has a residual recipe of elixir on hand?"

Mu Yao: "Yes, this is the Taoist Tianyuan Qingjing Dan."

Lei Jun was interested in this recipe, but he was not in a hurry, so he deliberately showed that he didn't care much: "I'm not very interested in the incomplete recipe. There is no need to replace the residual recipe with the residual recipe."

Yueyao: "Yours is also a remnant, and it is also difficult to estimate, so I will not participate."

Riyao and Mu Yao were both silent, seemingly equally uninterested.

Lei Jun was not depressed, and listened calmly to Yue Yao's next words: "I want to ask everyone, who has any information about the big demon? I mean, a large-scale collective action of the demon clan, not a single demon causing trouble."

Although the sun is still shining brightly, it seems to only care about the news about Wei Ancheng, the leader of the Blood River Sect. When he doesn't get a response, he shows little interest in other things, as if he has been silently recuperating.

Lei Jun was also silent for a moment, and many thoughts quickly flashed through his mind, guessing Yueyao's purpose of caring about the big demon's movements.

"I have some unconfirmed information, but I don't know if it will suit your needs." Mu Yao said at this time.

Yueyao: "What do you want?"

Mu Yao: "Let's talk in private later."

Facts have proved that Yueyao is not the only person this gentleman wants to chat with privately.

Later in the evening, after everyone seemed to have finished talking and dispersed, Lei Jun received a summons from Mu Yao.

The purpose is about the remnant prescription of the clear elixir he mastered.

Although it was a private chat, Lei Jun's way of expressing his interest so intuitively made Lei Jun have a lot of guesses in his mind.

It's hard to tell whether the other person is a Buddhist or whether he deliberately misleads him with falsehoods.

Lei Jun prefers the former for the time being.

Because the elixir recipe of Chengjing Dan has a meaning that is not limited to itself.

It may also involve the broken candlestick instrument.

However, Lei Jun remained calm for the time being and talked to the other party calmly.

Mu Yao: "What do you want in exchange?"

Lei Jun: "Inquire about something."

Mu Yao: "Please speak."

Lei Jun: "Let me tell you in advance that although the pill recipe is a residual recipe, it is guaranteed to be true. In this way, the information is of extraordinary significance. This time we will not barter, so I require at least two pieces of information in exchange."

Mu Yao seemed to think about it for a moment, and then spoke again, with a tone that could not detect sadness or joy: "What kind of news do you want?"

Lei Jun: "I want to know information about the White Lotus Sect, Huang Tiandao and Dakong Temple, at least two."

The three names he reported are all famous in the world of monasticism.

To be precise, these three companies can be called the three major rebel dens.

Naturally, there is no need to mention the White Lotus Sect.

Huang Tiandao has also been denounced as evil by the Tang Dynasty court and is wanted on a daily basis.

Dakong Temple is no less generous.

To a certain extent, this can be regarded as one of the heretics of Buddhism, and like the White Lotus Sect, it is the mortal enemy of the four holy places of Buddhism.

Even the relationship with the White Lotus Sect is not harmonious, and there are often hostile conflicts.

Although both families believe in breaking the old world, there are still big differences inside.

Not to mention that one worships Maitreya, the future Buddha, and the other worships the Great Destruction Tathagata.

Just breaking the old world concept makes a big difference.

The White Lotus Sect talks about the destruction of the present world and the birth of the future world, so that all living beings can achieve ultimate happiness.

Dakong Temple, however, believes in constant destruction and cycle, the old becomes the new, the new becomes the old, and when it is broken again, there is no end. Only constant destruction is eternity.

In terms of their external behavior, the disciples of Dakong Temple are more radical and fierce than the disciples of White Lotus Sect.

Rumor has it that the methods they practice involve demonic and evil atmospheres, and they practice the method of destruction. While their actual fighting methods are powerful, their style is also more ruthless. They are very different from most Buddhist traditions, but they have the image of a Buddhist heretic.

About two hundred years ago, Dakong Temple once stirred up rebellion in various parts of the Tang Dynasty, causing huge momentum, but was eventually suppressed.

The Dakong Temple inheritance suffered heavy casualties, and the few remaining descendants fled overseas to avoid being hunted down.

Within the current land area of ​​the Tang Dynasty in Central China, the descendants of Dakong Temple have not been seen for many years.

However, after Tang Xiaotang returned from traveling across the East China Sea earlier, he accidentally mentioned a few words to Lei Jun while chatting.

She went to sea to find the Tianshi Sword. She had met the descendants of Dakong Temple overseas, but she didn't have much contact with them.

Lei Jun was currently talking to Mu Yao and brought Dakong Temple out, mostly to put the three major rebel dens side by side.

His real focus is, first of all, Huang Tiandao.

"There are two pieces of information here for your reference, but they are both unconfirmed. I wonder if they can be replaced by your prescription."

Mu Yao said eloquently: "Two pieces of news came from Huang Tiandao and Dakong Temple respectively.

The first is Huang Tiandao.

I heard some rumors that Taiping Taoist, the leader of Huang Tiandao, had been in seclusion for many years since he was injured at the hands of Xu Yuanzhen and Li Hongyu in the battle of Longhu Mountain six years ago and rarely appeared in public.

The current affairs of Huang Tiandao are temporarily managed by the elders of the faction.

but……"

After a brief pause, Mu Yao continued: "According to rumors, there seems to be a serious conflict within Huang Tiandao. They are divided into two factions and there are often internal fights. But I don't know the specific details."

Lei Jun listened, and for a moment he wanted to hold his forehead and sigh.

Is it really infinitely divisible internally...

The current situation of the Tianshi Mansion in Longhu Mountain is like this, and even Huang Tiandao who has separated from the family is like this?

"The second news is about Dakong Temple."

Mu Yao continued: "It is rumored that Dakong Temple has shown signs of re-activation and is seeking to return to the shore from the sea.

A new Buddhist disciple has emerged in the temple with extraordinary talent. After unifying the Dakong Temple, which was originally a pile of scattered sand, he began to regroup."

Lei Jun raised his eyebrows slightly.

He asked about the question about Dakong Temple in passing.

However, if Mu Yao's news is true, then Datang will be very lively in the future.

It may not have a direct impact on the Tianshi Mansion.

It is difficult to predict what the indirect aspects will be.

"Although these are all news to be confirmed, I am willing to trade with you."

Lei Jun spoke calmly and provided the incomplete formula of Chengjing Dan, which was the original version that had not been repaired by the first layer of Zhenyi Altar when he first got it.

He was not in a hurry for Tianyuan Qingjing Dan.

The broken candlestick and the complete Chengjing Dan formula were both in his hands.

This transaction is not like the previous exchange of scattered soul essence for Brilliant Sun Golden Crystal, where physical objects were exchanged for physical objects. The transaction location and method must be specially determined.

Now Lei Jun can directly provide the residual formula of the Purifying Pill to Mu Yao.

After the other party received it, he said goodbye to Lei Jun and left.

Lei Jun looked at the vast starry sky where other stars were dimming and fell into deep thought.

Later, his thoughts broke away from the Book of Heaven.

Originally, he planned to meet his master Yuan Mobai after coming out of the Shangqing Leifu Cave Heaven.

But Yuan Mobai was in Gaogong Pavilion and seemed to be extremely busy during this period, and he had no free time.

Seeing this, Lei Jun did not disturb the other party and practiced quietly by himself.

The Great Five Elements Creation Qi was constantly refined by him.

In his body, the fourth Taoist palace, the Western Lingguan Palace, now has a prototype and is beginning to be laid.

…………

Jiangnan Water Village.

In the middle of winter, although it is not as cold as the north, it is also a little cold here.

However, the pavilion on the water where Chu Yu lived was warm like spring all year round, and the scenery was always pleasant.

She wore her home clothes and read quietly in the pavilion.

Until a special guest visited her Yuezhai.

"Dad." Chu Yu invited an old man to sit in the pavilion.

The old man had a gentle and elegant temperament, and his face was thin and handsome, which made people feel impressed.

He was clearly one of the five surnames and seven families in the world, the current old patriarch of the Jiangnan Chu clan, Chu Zhuoran, the old man of the Chu State.

He was sitting opposite Chu Yu at the moment, and there was no sign that the father and daughter had ever had a dispute before.

But in fact, the father and daughter did have a conversation earlier.

It was also after that conversation that Chu Yu left the Chu family's ancestral land and settled in Yuezhai, where he was now.

No one knew at the moment that the old man of the Chu State actually came to Yuezhai in person and secretly, instead of summoning his youngest daughter Chu Yu back to the ancestral land to meet.

"Your Highness the King of Wu has been struggling for a long time, and finally it has come to this point."

The old man of Chu smiled warmly and looked at his youngest daughter: "When will you set off?"

Chu Yu replied: "Everything is ready. After seeing you, I will set off to the north to meet your majesty."

The old man of Chu: "Since the arrow is on the string, we should shoot it at the right time. Very good, very good."

He looked at Chu Yu, and sighed after a while: "To be honest, I didn't expect that you and the current majesty would be so compatible."

Chu Yu smiled: "My daughter would like to boast that she has a good eye and expected this day.

But... to be honest, my daughter only made two like-minded friends back then, and she also didn't expect that the Tang Dynasty would be in its current situation.

Especially, she didn't expect that the previous The emperor had passed away so early, otherwise the prince would have succeeded to the throne smoothly, and it would not be the current emperor who ascended the throne. "

"The current queen..." The old man of Chu's smile faded a little: "She is really not an ordinary person."

Chu Yu smiled without diminishing: "My daughter will not discuss the queen in front of you. It is not in line with the way friends get along, nor is it in line with the etiquette of monarchs and ministers getting along."

The old man of Chu was not annoyed when he heard this, but smiled again and nodded gently: "Very good."

He looked at his little daughter who he always regarded as a jewel in the palm of his hand, and said calmly:

"Since you have chosen the queen, you must naturally put your majesty first in everything, not to mention others. If your majesty wants to take action against Suzhou one day, you don't need to show mercy. "

The so-called spreading branches and leaves, taking root.

Even if the left hand hits the right hand, the new tree competes with the old tree for sunlight, causing the old tree to wither, the old man of Chu doesn't care.

As long as the Chu family's trees stand forever, it's fine.

The sea is turbulent, and the mountains and rivers change.

The Chu clan of thousands or tens of thousands of years may not be the Chu clan of today.

But as long as the inheritance continues, he will be satisfied.

The world is changeable and it is difficult to be as one wishes. The more preparations, the more opportunities.

"Dad, please take care of yourself." Chu Yu bowed to his father.

The old man of Chu smiled and nodded.

…………

On Longhu Mountain, Lei Jun was in meditation.

It was not until Yuan Mobai returned from Gaogong Pavilion that Lei Jun went to meet his master.

The first thing he showed was the Thunder Heart Furnace he had just obtained from the Shangqing Leifu Cave Heaven.

Yuan Mobai saw it and couldn't help laughing: "Did this thing fall into your hands? It can be regarded as a kind of fate."

Lei Jun: "I will be free later, and I am willing to ask Master for advice."

Then, he mentioned some news about Huang Tiandao that Mu Yao said.

After listening quietly, Yuan Mobai asked: "What do you think?"

Lei Jun: "There are few clues, it is difficult to make a judgment, there are many possibilities.

But if I were to guess, there are two possibilities, and the chances are greater..."

Yuan Mobai: "The first is that seeing the increasing tension between the Li and non-Li families in our sect, some people in Huang Tiandao hope to unite with us non-Li descendants of Tianshi Mansion, while some people believe that the current Tianshi Mansion, regardless of Li or non-Li, is an enemy. The two judgments are in dispute, so conflicts and divisions arise. "

Lei Jun nodded: "The second is that there are other major forces outside, more than one, that secretly support Huang Tiandao, but because of this reason, each has a representative, which leads to factions within Huang Tiandao. "

Yuan Mobai's warm smile remained unchanged: "No matter which possibility, if there is really a big mess on Longhu Mountain, Huang Tiandao is still likely to take risks, and we must not be careless. "

Lei Jun: "Disciple understands, and will follow the master's teachings. "

"In times of trouble, we can only do what we can do, so-called doing our best and leaving the fate to fate. "Yuan Mobai said.

Lei Jun heard his master's voice: "What happened?"

Yuan Mobai: "Just got the news, King Wu, rebelled."

The imperial edict summoned King Wu to the capital to meet the emperor, but King Wu claimed to be ill.

The imperial doctor came from the capital, and King Wu delayed several times. Recently, he could not delay any longer, so he finally launched a rebellion and raised the banner of rebellion, listing many major crimes of the current empress. The first thing he accused was that she had killed the emperor and forged the imperial edict. She had previously attempted to assassinate the previous emperor Zhang Qilong, and now in order to silence him, she had to take action against King Wu.

Such verbal battles are not entirely verbal.

The emperor and the son of heaven have the mountains and rivers of the world, and the dragon veins of luck follow him. While being strong, they also involve the people. The heart is on the other side.

The current operation of the King of Wu is basic.

There are even more things to do later.

Of course, the final outcome still depends on the most fundamental contest between the two sides.

The essence of the verbal battle is to reduce the opponent's advantage and increase the chances of winning.

And the Queen on the other side obviously did not really believe the previous statement of the King of Wu being seriously ill, and she had also been ready for it.

The first time the King of Wu raised the banner of rebellion, the formal suppression of the rebellion had already begun at the same time.

"Your Majesty, you can't be unable to control the King of Wu, right? "Lei Jun asked his master.

It is not true that the King of Wu has no ability at all.

The problem is that since the King of Wu and the General of the Demon Suppression Guard colluded, the news leaked out and he was targeted by the Queen.

He has come to this point today because he was forced to this point by the Queen step by step, and he is fighting a desperate battle.

It is not an exaggeration to say that the King of Wu was forced to rebel by the Tang court.

...On the other hand, the King of Wu should also have a plan in mind. Even if the Tang Dynasty is unstable now, he still has little chance of winning.

"When the King of Wu raised the banner of rebellion, the demon chaos in the East China Sea broke out and invaded fiercely. Even if the harm is not as severe as the previous Western Regions, it is not far behind." Yuan Mobai said softly.

Lei Jun raised his eyebrows.

No wonder.

Yuan Mobai: "The rebellion in Wu and Yue is under the responsibility of our subjects. The latest news is that His Majesty is now going to the East China Sea in person."

Lei Jun: "Does the King of Wu's affairs involve you and my senior brother? ”

Although he estimated that the Tang court imperial family would not cause any trouble at the moment, it is not wrong to be careful.

In this regard, Lei Jun agreed with his senior brother Wang Guiyuan's opinion.

Yuan Mobai smiled: "Not at the moment, even Senior Sister Shangguan has not asked about it. Even if there is something, I think it will be discussed later."

Lei Jun thought: "On the other hand, if something happens to our sect now, the Tang court imperial family can only give a few verbal advice at best, and will not directly interfere?"

Yuan Mobai nodded: "That's right."

He looked more serious: "In the past few days, there have been traces of the activities of the Blood River Sect monks in the outskirts of Longhu Mountain and Xinzhou."

Lei Jun sighed: "It's really like a group of vultures, flying around all day, just waiting to eat corpses."

Yuan Mobai: "Be vigilant."

Lei Jun: "Yes, Master. ”

Led by Yuan Mobai and other three high-level elders, they began to organize the elite forces in the mansion, taking turns to go down the mountain to patrol and clean up the secret arrangements of the Blood River Sect.

With Lei Jun's current cultivation level of the fifth level, he also has to start taking on more responsibilities. Although he has not opened the door to accept disciples, he has to be responsible for leading the team from time to time and leading other fellow disciples to act.

Outside the mountain, they successively destroyed the Blood River Formation secretly arranged by the disciples of the Blood River Sect.

They also encountered some masters of the Blood River Sect who had three days of cultivation, and fierce battles broke out.

Among the mountains, dirty blood can be seen all over the sky, covering all directions.

But immediately, a large sea of ​​fire spread out, with a sea of ​​fire against a sea of ​​blood, burning large areas of dirty blood.

Lei Jun shook his hand, and immediately two high-level spiritual talismans of the Tianshi Mansion flew out, one was a boundless sea of ​​fire talisman, and the other was a wind and fire talisman, and the raging fire kept interweaving .

The opponent was an elder of the Blood River Sect who had cultivated for three days. He was beaten by Lei Jun and lost his temper for a while.

The masculine fire and thunder methods were indeed targeted at the evil blood sea to a certain extent.

But they were not completely restrained.

The Blood River and the Blood Sea were both good at polluting the opponent's magic power.

Even the fire and thunder methods could be stained by the dirty blood and lose their magic.

The Blood River monks were not completely helpless in the face of fire and thunder methods.

Moreover, Lei Jun's boundless sea of ​​fire and wind and fire were not his natal talismans.

The two sides should have been a situation of water and fire fighting, with more water extinguishing the fire and more fire burning the water.

The problem now is that Lei Jun has practiced the Yin and Yang two evil spirits and the Yin and Yang two Gangs successively, and with other reasons, the combined power of the magic is obviously beyond that of other talisman sect monks of the same realm.

So he used the talisman that was passed down in the mansion to smash the elders of the Blood River Sect on the opposite side and had no choice but to retreat.

Lei Jun did not blindly pursue in case there were masters of the Blood River Sect who had reached the level of the upper three days.

It was strange that the people of the Blood River Sect around Longhu Mountain during this period were only at the sixth level of cultivation, and there were no big men of the upper three days.

Were they attracted by the wars in Donghai and Wuyue?

Or was it for some other reason?

"Boom!!!"

Lei Jun was thinking in his heart, when suddenly a loud noise that shook the earth came from afar.

Not only Lei Jun, but also the disciples of the Tianshi Mansion who were active outside the mountain looked back at the same time.

The source of the loud noise was the Longhu Mountain, the ancestral home of their own mountain!

Purple thunders and blue flames were seen above the top of Longhu Mountain.

Dragon roars and tiger roars sounded at the same time.

They were not fighting together, but fighting each other!

The little sister ended her retreat and returned to the mountain to settle accounts... Lei Jun understood.
