Chapter 177 176 The Honest and Integrity of Lei Chongyun
Chapter 177 176. Honest and upright Lei Chongyun
"Mr. Xiujing." Li Xuan came to the elder of the Ye clan and bowed to him in a Taoist way.
Ye Qi, also known as Mr. Xiujing, is one of the capable figures of the middle generation of the Ye clan in Jinzhou, and the seventh among his peers.
It was the elder of the Ye clan that Lei Jun had seen before.
When Li Xuan came closer, Ye Qi returned the greeting: "Master Li, long time no see."
"This time, Mr. Xiujing and the laymen of Jinzhou have worked hard." Li Xuan greeted the people of the Ye clan.
Ye Qi said: "It is really regrettable that a rebellion occurred on Longhu Mountain."
Li Xuan: "There are always people who are greedy and ungrateful, and I feel sorry for that."
Ye Qi looked back.
The main peak of Longhu Mountain was shrouded in a huge three-story altar, making it difficult to see clearly.
But one could vaguely see the Yin Fire Tiger transformed by the green flames fighting with the Yang Thunder Dragon formed by the purple thunder.
"I've always heard that Yao Yuan is friendly with Elder Hong Yu and is often taken care of by Elder Hong Yu. I didn't expect that even he would..." Ye Qi shook his head.
Li Xuan said coldly: "He has a very good plan. He is eyeing the position of the new Heavenly Master and wants to fish in troubled waters!"
Ye Qi was slightly surprised at first, and then thoughtful.
If the Li family retreats and outsiders take over the Heavenly Master Mansion of Longhu Mountain again, there will be very few candidates for the new Heavenly Master.
Shangguan Ning is out first, which is absolutely impossible.
Longhu Mountain worships the Emperor Tang as the common ruler of the world, and Longhu Mountain allows people from the Tang court and related people to take over the position of Heavenly Master. These are two completely different things.
Xu Yuanzhen is not on the mountain now, so we can ignore it.
Although Tang Xiaotang's cultivation is strong, he lacks popularity.
Especially his way of dealing with people and daily affairs, he does not look like a qualified leader.
Even if Tang Xiaotang can really ascend to heaven in one step, as he wishes, he can become the new Heavenly Master as a Taoist child.
She is probably more like a mascot and a signboard most of the time.
To manage daily affairs, she must rely on the help of others.
The two most powerful people in Longhu Mountain in the future are only Yuan Mobai and Yao Yuan.
But in Ye Qi's opinion, no matter how you calculate it, Yuan Mobai is better than Yao Yuan.
He is even more likely to be recognized by most people and take over the position of the new Heavenly Master than Tang Xiaotang.
But from what Li Xuan said, why does it seem that he thinks Yao Yuan has a better chance than Yuan Mobai?
"It's good to be good at calculating and timing, but if you really want to sit in that position, it depends on whether you have enough weight."
Li Xuan looked unpredictable: "As for Yuan Mobai, hum... now think about it, it's not so unexpected.
He has no hope, but he still has to fight for it, for his disciples and grandchildren!"
Ye Qi: "Whether it's Yuan Mobai or Yao Yuan, they all learned Taoism and passed on their skills thanks to the Li family. Now their behavior of betraying their teachers and destroying their ancestors is really outrageous."
Li Xuan: "Fortunately, there are still knowledgeable people like Mr. Xiujing and the laymen who are eager to do good for the public, which shows that justice is in the hearts of the people."
"The old clan leader and the grandfather of Taoist Li are close friends. If there is a rebellion on Longhu Mountain, our Jinzhou will not sit idly by."
Ye Qi sighed: "It's a pity that the north is in chaos, and several elders in the clan can't get away. He ordered us to come and help first, but he didn't mean to be negligent. "
Li Xuan nodded silently: "I have heard about the demon chaos in the north, but I don't know what the current situation is?"
Ye Qi: "Bodhi Temple is in league with the demons, and finally caused a disaster, harming others and themselves. Many big demons are rampant in the north, causing great harm.
The leader of the Youzhou Lin clan and His Royal Highness King Zhao personally came out of the mountains to command the heroes of Youzhou and Jinzhou, and shocked the demons, and barely stopped the demon tide.
The old leader of our clan was seriously injured by the previous demon chaos in the Western Regions, but now he is also forcing himself to mobilize manpower and material resources to support the front line. "
He sighed: "The old leader said that if necessary, for the sake of the people, he will not care about his body, and will personally go out of the mountains to fight the big demon again."
Such words, whether Lei Jun or Li Xuan, just listen to it.
Everyone had the same idea, secretly guessing that the shadow behind the chaos of the demon tribe in the north was the Ye tribe of Jinzhou and the Lin tribe of Youzhou.
As for the target...
"I wonder what the current situation is at Bodhi Temple?" Li Xuan asked.
Ye Qi: "Just the day before yesterday, the abbot of Bodhi Temple, Yuan Yuan, who caused this disaster, used his life to make amends for the people affected and passed away in Youzhou.
Three elders of Bodhi Temple who went north with him passed away."
Li Xuan's eyes flashed.
He was in the Demon Suppression Guard and had many sources of information.
As far as he knew, among the three elders who went north with the abbot of Bodhi Temple to Youzhou to welcome the Buddha's treasure relics, one of them was a veteran of the eighth heaven realm of Buddhism.
In this way, with the addition of Abbot Yuan himself, Bodhi Temple means that there are at least two Buddhist monks of the eighth heaven realm, who died outside the temple?
"Although Abbot Liaoyuan and others made a big mistake, considering that they are all human cultivators, the leader of the Youzhou Lin Clan and His Royal Highness King Zhao still want to do their best to rescue them. Unfortunately, the big monster is rampant and the situation is complicated, and..."
Ye Qi said solemnly: "There is also an evil master who unexpectedly appeared in the northern border and took advantage of the fire, which eventually caused the death of several Buddhist monks including Abbot Liaoyuan."
Li Xuan's heart moved: "Evil master? Could it be..."
Ye Qi: "Southern Wasteland Blood River, Wei Ancheng!"
Li Xuan: "It's really him..."
Lei Jun stood aside and listened silently.
Wei Ancheng, the contemporary head of the Blood River Sect, the Holy Land of the Blood River of the Wumen in the Southern Wilderness, is rumored to be mysterious and ferocious, ruthless and bloodthirsty, with extraordinary cultivation.
Among the masters of the witch sect in the Southern Wilderness, the Blood River Sect is considered to be the most frequent lineage that travels north to the Tang Dynasty in the Middle Earth.
Especially in recent years, there have been frequent fighting and conquests in various parts of the Tang Dynasty.
The people in the Blood River Sect were like sharks that smelled fishy smell, chasing and gathering in all directions.
Some people in the river of blood have their bones buried everywhere and will never return to the Southern Wilderness.
But some people, because of the characteristics of their inheritance, wantonly refine murderous aura and death intention, improve their own realm, and their cultivation strength increases by leaps and bounds.
Wei Ancheng, the head of the Blood River Sect, is the leader among them.
It's not that no one has thought about surrounding and ambushing the Blood River Descendants.
There have been many gains over the years.
However, Wei Ancheng is both powerful and secretive. Over the years, he has traveled around the world and become stronger and stronger. Every time he reappears in public, his cultivation strength will rise to a higher level.
So much so that there are rumors that he is gradually becoming the number one master of the new generation of Southern Wilderness Wumen.
Previously, there was a battle between the Tianshi Mansion and the Jiangzhou Lin Clan. Experts from the Blood River Sect occasionally appeared nearby, but there was no sign of Wei Ancheng himself.
Afterwards, King Wu rebelled, the Tang Dynasty emperor suppressed the rebellion, and the Queen personally went to the East China Sea to suppress the demon rebellion in the East China Sea.
There are also three-day masters sent by Blood River to appear and continue to take advantage of the chaos.
But there was still no trace of Wei Ancheng himself.
Now, there is finally news about him.
It's just that this news is directly accompanied by the death of the abbot of Bodhi Temple, one of the four holy places in Buddhism.
The head of the Blood River Sect would only do it if he didn't take action personally, but once he did, he would shock the world.
As for whether it was a leak, or there was a plan in advance, I'm afraid only the person involved will know.
"The latest news is that Dakong Temple attacked Bodhi Temple. Bodhi Temple was empty due to the departure of many masters. In the end, it was defeated and Dakong Temple breached the mountain gate. Ye does not know the specific details of the follow-up and is waiting for further accurate information. "
Ye Qi expressed regret: "It's a pity that Bodhi Temple, an ancient temple that has existed for thousands of years, has suffered a catastrophe this time. Although the deceased has passed away,... Abbot Liaoyuan's earlier decision was really ill-considered!"
"That's what Mr. Xiujing said." Li Xuan glanced at Ye Qi and other members of the Jinzhou Ye clan in front of him.
It's hard to guess whether Wei Ancheng had a plan in advance.
But regarding this Northern Rebellion, the Bodhi Tribulation, the Jinzhou Ye Clan, the Youzhou Lin Clan, and the Qingzhou Ye Clan and other famous families who may also be secretly involved behind the scenes, have obviously planned for a long time.
It’s hard to talk about monsters.
But they must have a tacit understanding with Dakong Temple.
Dakongji doesn't mind being a scapegoat for them or even taking the blame.
This Buddhist heretic is inherently fierce in his behavior and is a mortal enemy of Bodhi Temple, the holy land of Buddhism.
If there is a chance to ask Bodhi Temple to exterminate its entire family, how can Dakong Temple be polite?
If the Tang Dynasty imperial family had spare power, they might have helped and looked after them, at least to preserve some vitality for Bodhi Temple, so that Dakong Temple would not forcefully attack the Shanmen Ancestral Court.
But the Tang Dynasty's imperial family is currently focusing on the southeast.
From the moment Abbot Liaoyuan led the crowd to leave Bodhi Temple and head north, everything was doomed.
Li Xuan couldn't help but think that if Tang Xiaotang hadn't broken through to the eighth level of heaven too suddenly and immediately returned to the mountain to trouble Li Song and Li Ziyang without waiting for a moment, then Jinzhou Ye Clan and other famous families would have targeted the first holy place Will the sect be more inclined to choose the Tianshi Mansion in Longhu Mountain where civil strife broke out?
Now, with so many preparations being made in the Northland, and with the arrow on the string, the Ye Clan of Jinzhou and the Lin Clan of Youzhou have no choice but to attack the Bodhi Temple first.
As for the Tianshi Mansion, only Ye Qi and other three-day monks came over.
And the reason why they came...
"Daozhang Li, how are you preparing?" Ye Qi asked.
Li Xuan took out a list and handed it to the other party: "The higher the name, the more worthy of attention."
Ye Qi took it and took a look, the first name that came to mind:
Lei Jun.
"Lei Jun Lei Chongyun is indeed a genius." Ye Qi nodded: "But precisely because of this, we should eliminate them as soon as possible, otherwise how can we know that there will not be another Xu Yuanzhen or Tang Xiaotang in the future?"
Li Xuan's usually serious face was now as black as the bottom of a pot.
Like Yuan Mobai, his apprentice who closely resembled his master would probably not be much better.
Everything before was all cover-up and deception.
Even if not, he and Yuan Mobai are destined to be Li's enemies now.
Now everyone is completely at odds with each other, and this child can no longer be kept!
While Ye Qi was browsing the list, he glanced at Li Xuan from the corner of his eye.
On the list, there are basically all the outstanding disciples with foreign surnames in the Longhu Mountain Tianshi Mansion, including those from the middle and lower thirds.
Some of them, even those who have just started and whose cultivation level is still low, are still among them, and some even rank higher.
The ranking is of course not based on Li Xuan's personal likes and dislikes, but on estimating his potential and ability.
It is very difficult to kill all the Tianshi Mansion disciples on the list, and finding people is a problem.
But try to deal with part of it now, and you can slowly figure it out later.
However, Ye Qi also discovered some problems.
For example, the names of Zhang Jingzhen, Lin Shan, Shangguan Hong and others are not on the list.
Obviously, Li Xuan, or Li Ziyang and others, still had no intention of completely breaking away from the Tang imperial family.
Even in this civil war in Tianshi Mansion, Shangguan Ning and others have an ambiguous attitude.
The incense they have burned for so many years has been in vain. Why don't Li Xuan and the other Li clan members feel resentful?
But in the current battle situation on Longhu Mountain, Li has no advantage.
Therefore, the Li family still needs to try to make as few enemies as possible at the moment, just in case something unexpected happens in the future.
Besides, although they have established a connection with the Ye Clan of Jinzhou, Li Ziyang, Li Xuan and others have no intention of really being tied to the Ye Clan.
They want to retain as much strength and connections as possible.
Even if they are forced to withdraw from Longhu Mountain today, they will come back to take back the ancestral temple, so they must minimize obstacles.
Ye Qi can easily think of this, but he doesn't point it out: "Master Li, how many people are currently whereabouts?"
Li Xuan: "I have checked at the Law Bureau and have confirmed the whereabouts of several people. Let's act as soon as possible."
He looked a little unhappy: "Unfortunately, Lei Jun's whereabouts are too erratic to be determined. I only know that he is near Longhu Mountain, but his specific whereabouts are unknown."
If we can get help from the Wanfa Sect, there may be more clues.
But the Wanfa Sect is in the current state, so it is definitely not counted on.
"The night is long and dreams are many. Time waits for no one. Let's first choose the second-best target to attack."
Ye Qi said: "Lei Jun's side, Taoist Li will look for it again."
Li Xuan: "Of course."
After discussing with the Ye clan members for a few more words, Li Xuan took a few Li clan members and left, along the Jinque River, searching for the lower reaches of the Jinque River.
Ye Qi watched Li Xuan and others disappear from the back, and handed the list to the clan member next to him.
After receiving it, the other party asked quietly: "Uncle Qi, are we going to follow this list completely?"
"Add one more person." Ye Qi: "Fang Jian."
The Ye clan members beside him were surprised: "Fang..."
Ye Qi: "I heard people from the Jingxiang Fang clan mentioned this boy, who is focused on Longhu Mountain. Since we have different paths, we can't make plans together.
The current situation is so chaotic. If one or two people die, Jingxiang will not be very careful. We can only look for the Tianshi Mansion and the Li family."
He sighed: "Unfortunately, the current power of our clan is mainly concentrated in the north. I have repeatedly made suggestions to my uncle and others, but none of them were accepted.
Longhu Mountain Tianshi Mansion, this is such a good opportunity, but it is going to be missed."
The Ye clan members beside him nodded one after another: "Uncle Qi is right."
The world is too big.
The cultivation world is too small.
If possible, it would be best if only the bloodline of the Ye clan can cultivate the Tao in this world, and the knowledge and classics are passed down from generation to generation. The rest are all ordinary people who only know that there are immortals but not Tao.
As a second choice, several big families reached a tacit understanding, and they could barely accept it if they did not interfere with each other.
The worst thing is that there are places like Tianshi Mansion and Bodhi Temple that are arbitrarily opening mountains and recruiting disciples.
It's fine if the carp wants to jump over the dragon gate.
Any loach and shrimp will also have delusions, and there are many of them.
This cultivation world is too crowded!
Fortunately, we can solve the Bodhi Temple first.
I hope that in the future, we can solve other places such as Tianshi Mansion one by one...
"Let's go, everything should be done as soon as possible." Ye Qi ordered.
He was about to take a step, but suddenly his heart tightened and he had a warning sign.
Among the three Confucian cultivation paths, the chanting cultivators almost do not cultivate the physical body, but the mind and soul are the most agile.
Therefore, the perception ability is also the most acute.
Ye Qi, who practiced the chanting Confucian classics, felt his soul trembling at this time, as if he was frozen by the cold.
The coldness came from the murderous aura!
Just as Ye Qi was about to turn his head, a stick with a faint glow suddenly appeared silently among the trees beside him.
The target was directly aimed at the head of the old man of the Ye family.
Although Ye Qi noticed it in time, the distance between the two sides was so close that they could touch each other.
It was difficult for him to dodge by himself.
Fortunately, Ye Qi knew his shortcomings and always took care to protect himself.
The ink treasure he prepared early on automatically played a role.
Before Ye Qi could speak, words automatically appeared on the surface of his white Confucian robe, and the sound of chanting came out.
The words automatically condensed into a manuscript, floating in the air, like a shield to protect Ye Qi, helping him block the sudden stick.
Under the bombardment of the long stick, the many words floating in the air were directly scattered on the spot by the stick.
But Ye Qi had taken this opportunity to retreat.
Only then did he see the person in front of him clearly.
A young Taoist priest, more than half a head taller than him, with a tall figure, handsome face, and wearing a dark red Taoist robe.
It was exactly Lei Jun that everyone was looking for.
Lei Jun shattered Ye Qi's protective ink treasure with one blow, and then took a step and came to Ye Qi again. His speed was so fast that he didn't give his opponent any chance to get away.
However, in the already cold winter, there was suddenly more ice and snow in the mountains and forests.
It came from Ye Qi's Confucianism.
He had superb cultivation, and he could quickly communicate with the spiritual energy of heaven and earth by reciting poems in his heart, and manifest the strange phenomenon of ice and snow, blocking him and Lei Jun.
But Ye Qi didn't dare to be careless.
If you recite silently, the effect of poems is not as good as reciting.
His first move was purely to buy time, and he didn't dare to expect to really stop Lei Jun.
After the first poem was used to buy time, Ye Qi changed to formal recitation for the second poem.
But before he could recite it out loud, the ice and snow in front of him suddenly exploded.
A tiny flame as tiny as a candle exploded, and the expansion swept the ice and snow completely.
Lei Jun did not give Ye Qi a chance to fight back, and then he hit him with a stick, hitting him in the face!
The poem that Ye Qi had already reached his mouth was immediately swallowed back with his teeth.
The face of the Jinzhou scholar was covered with blood, and he could not even scream, and fell to the ground.
Lei Jun suddenly attacked and knocked Ye Qi down in three moves.
The Ye family members around had no idea how the opponent sneaked into the crowd and beat their seventh uncle so badly.
When they came to their senses and surrounded him from all sides, Ye Qi had already fallen on his back.
And a large amount of black thunder water, which was as thick as ink, spread out from Lei Jun to the surroundings and attacked the people of the Ye clan.
Lei Juntian added the talisman to his body, and his figure became taller. He swung his long stick and swept down the people in the inner circle who were close to him.
Just as he was about to continue to clean up the children of the Ye clan outside, he suddenly had an idea.
This time, it was Lei Jun's turn to feel nervous, as if he was facing a great enemy.
He directly hit behind him with a stick.
Behind him, there was a Confucian swordsman who was thrusting his sword towards Lei Jun.
The opponent's sword energy was restrained, and he was also silent. At this time, he stabbed out this sneak attack, but was blocked by Lei Jun swinging his stick.
At this moment, Lei Jun seemed to have an illusion in his mind:
A giant snake, with a black body and wings on its back, entrenched in the depths of the earth, was fierce and mysterious, opening its bloody mouth and whistling silently at him.
Teng Snake!
Lei Jun's mind seemed to be fixed at this moment.
But in the depths of his soul, in the Zhenyi Altar Cave Heaven derived from the Heavenly Master Seal, the Four Nine Lights dimmed and revived, and a breeze blew over the Taoist temple.
Lei Jun's soul was immediately cleared.
In a flash, while Lei Jun seemed to be stunned, the sword of the Ye clan scholar changed.
This sword did not need a sneak attack, the surging sword energy burst out completely, condensed at one point, like a meteor, piercing Lei Jun directly.
However, Lei Jun recovered faster than the other party expected, and swept the long stick in his hand, blocking the other party's killing move again.
Both sides were deeply surprised.
Lei Jun looked at the equally young face opposite him, and matched it with a portrait he had seen before.
Ye Chifeng.
A leader of the young generation of the Jinzhou Ye clan, a Confucian scholar who has risen in recent years.
Although he is young, his knowledge and cultivation have surpassed many elders in the clan, and he is expected to be a genius who can cultivate to the upper three-day realm in the future.
There are actually two people in charge of the Jinzhou Ye clan's southward trip this time, one is Ye Qi, and the other is Ye Chifeng.
But for the sake of secrecy, he has been hiding his whereabouts, and even other children in the clan do not know except Ye Qi.
In the execution of the list provided by Li Xuan, Ye Chifeng is the main force.
But he did not find out in advance that an enemy actually approached quietly, suddenly jumped up, and plotted against his seventh uncle Ye Qi in front of him.
Ye Chifeng quickly calmed down and gave his own way to him. He did not show up at the first time, but seized the opportunity, quietly approached Lei Jun, and then suddenly jumped up with a sword.
He held a sword in one hand, and a string of white bones was wrapped around the arm of the other hand, like a strange snake.
The white bone demon spirit played a role, not only hiding Ye Chifeng's whereabouts and hiding from others, but also when Ye Chifeng suddenly attacked and broke out of the hidden state, the white bone spirit burst out more thoroughly, suppressing Lei Jun's mind.
Lei Jun himself is used to hitting people with a club from behind, and he has been constantly studying and improving his wind and thunder talisman, and his perception of related aspects is very keen.
But this time he met his opponent.
Ye Chifeng certainly failed to find him approaching in advance, so that he could sneak attack Ye Qi successfully.
But Lei Jun also failed to notice that Ye Chifeng was hiding nearby in advance.
He glanced at the white bone chain on the opponent's arm.
It should be because of this thing.
Not only did it help Ye Chifeng hide his whereabouts, but at the moment of sudden attack, there was an outbreak of vicious aura, suppressing the spirit of the attacked target.
In this moment of distraction, he was attacked by a full-strength sword, and I am afraid that he would be seriously injured if not dead.
But Lei Jun's soul is hidden in the depths of the Heavenly Master Seal.
Affected by the Heavenly Master Seal, his mind recovered instantly, and he was able to block Ye Chifeng's sword that was sure to hit him.
"... Is there something wrong with your soul?" Ye Chifeng was a genius who was trained by the direct descendants of the Jinzhou Ye family. He had rich experience and understood immediately.
"Sure enough, compared with you sinister people, I am too simple and upright."
Before Lei Jun spoke, he moved his body first, took the initiative to rush in front of Ye Chifeng, and attacked again.
However, Ye Chifeng seemed to have anticipated the enemy's move, and dodged in one step. At the same time, his sword flew like starlight, fell into the chessboard formed by the universe, seized the initiative, and attacked the position that made Lei Jun passive.
Jinzhou Ye family learning.
Yixing Sword.
Lei Jun did not dodge, as if ignoring the sword light stabbing at him, and hit Ye Chifeng's head with a stick.
Want to fight to die together?
Wishful thinking, I must stab you first.
Then I still have room to change my moves to resolve your attack... Ye Chifeng just thought of this and suddenly felt something was wrong.
The edge of his sword was slower than expected.
It was as if there was an invisible force in the air that blocked it, and the sword pierced into the quagmire.
"Zizizizizizizizi!"
Ye Chifeng's eyes widened.
There was a very faint flash of lightning around Lei Jun's body.
The invisible two-element magnetic field had already been densely covered.
While using his own two-element magnetic field spell to delay Ye Chifeng's sword light, Lei Jun raised his stick and fell, the Shangqing Golden Bamboo shone brightly, and the stick hit the opponent's head!
