Chapter 527 526. Candidates for the Next Generation of Heavenly Masters (Two Chapters in One)

"Brother Xin."

"Uncle Xin."

A Taoist child academy instructor came up to greet him.

Xin Beiyuan was accompanied by a young boy, with a lively and curious look, looking up at the Three Pure Ones and Three Treasures Cave Heaven in the clouds.

When someone came at this time, the boy quickly withdrew his gaze and returned the greeting with Xin Beiyuan.

"Is Brother Xu here?" Xin Beiyuan asked after greeting him.

The two Taoist child academy instructors hurriedly replied: "Uncle Xu is at the foot of the mountain, and just went to the three branches of the academy."

Xin Beiyuan nodded: "I'll leave this child to you first. "

The two instructors agreed immediately.

The procedures of the Longhu Mountain Taoist Children's Academy have long been mature. The boys and girls who are guided back to the mountain are not considered to be the real Longhu Mountain sects. They just convert to the Three Treasures first, lay the foundation in the Taoist Children's Academy, learn the Taoist rules and regulations, and become familiar with the Taoist scriptures and rituals.

The young man also received instructions from Xin Beiyuan, so he left with the two instructors, not frightened or afraid, but full of curiosity.

Xin Beiyuan walked towards the three branches.

The current head instructor of the Taoist Children's Academy is the high-level elder Xu Rui, who is on duty here. Since he is in the Taoist Children's Academy, Xin Beiyuan also visited him.

Walking on the road, other Taoist Children's Academy instructors who heard the news came: "Senior Brother!"

Xin Beiyuan looked.

When the other party came closer, he asked softly: "I heard that Senior Brother Xin led the children back to the mountain to enter the Tao? First of all, congratulations to Senior Brother for having a successor. "

Xin Beiyuan saw that the other party was hesitant to speak, and knew what the visitor wanted to ask.

He did not pretend to be confused, and said directly: "It has nothing to do with the Huangtian lineage. Before the fusion of the human world, this child was from the Great Song human world, and his family background is ordinary."

The visitor hesitated: "Please forgive me, senior brother..."

"He and Xin Beiyuan were both former disciples of Huang Tiandao who returned to the sect and joined the current Longhu Mountain Tianshi Mansion.

It's not that he is obsessed with Huang Tiandao, but Xin Beiyuan has not accepted any disciples in these years. It's rare to bring a child back today, which makes him inevitably have some guesses in his heart.

Xin Beiyuan shook his head: "This child is indeed unrelated to the Huangtian lineage, but if there is really a fate, I will not stick to it. We all know the views of the head teacher uncle. Today, even if it is the Huangtian lineage, it won't be a big deal."

The instructor replied: "Senior brother is right."

Both parties said goodbye, and Xin Beiyuan went to the Taoist Child Third Branch, where he met Xu Rui.

"Just received the news, congratulations to my junior brother for finding someone to be with." Xu Rui greeted Xin Beiyuan.

Xin Beiyuan said: "Just take him back to the mountain to join the Dao first. There are still two years before the next transmission. Senior Brother Xu will have trouble in the future."

Xu Rui: "What are you talking about? Our sect has added a new seedling, and I am proud of it."

When it comes to his master, he has always been a disciple of Li Zhengxuan, the core figure of the Xinzhou Li family.

When Huang Tiandao disciples first returned to the sect, they all felt a little embarrassed when they met him.

Xin Beiyuan was the most calm, neither humble nor arrogant, and he got along with Xu Rui more peacefully back then.

It was just because he was the follower of Huang Tiandao's disciples who returned to the sect that generation, he was often compared with the equally outstanding Xu Rui by others.

Xin Beiyuan himself didn't care much.

Until now, many years have passed, Huang Tiandao is not so sensitive to the Longhu Mountain Tianshi Mansion. When he and Xu Rui meet again, they are no longer affected by the past. They are just brothers from the Tianshi Mansion.

"It's rare that you find someone you like." The two sat opposite each other, Xu Rui made tea and greeted Xin Beiyuan, and there was no taboo in what he said.

Xin Beiyuan said: "His name is Chi Haifeng, his family background is ordinary, his parents have been brought here by me, and now they are settled in the town at the foot of the mountain.

I have roughly checked, and there should be no problem with his background. Before the fusion of the human world, he was from the human world of the Great Song Dynasty. The specific situation can be checked again by the government according to the rules.

Well, there is indeed a certain affinity between us. He is the same Wanxiang Saint Body as I was at the beginning."

Xu Rui suddenly realized after hearing this: "So that's the case, it's really gratifying.

Xin Beiyuan paused for a moment and added: "In addition, I think the child is very spiritual and has a good understanding - very, very good."

Xu Rui and Xin Beiyuan usually don't talk much, but he knows that the other party rarely speaks, and his words are always right.

Hearing Xin Beiyuan's words, Xu Rui was a little more surprised, but more happy for the government: "Today is really a great harvest! "

Xin Beiyuan: "Where is Senior Brother Zhuo?"

Xu Rui nodded: "Yes, a genius."

Xin Beiyuan noticed something special in the other person's tone.

Facing the other person's gaze, Xu Rui also nodded slightly:

"Liang Yi Xian Ti! "

Xin Beiyuan then suddenly understood.

Not to mention that the immortal body is rare and precious, in the current Longhu Mountain Tianshi Mansion and even in the entire Taoist Xuanmen, the reputation of the Liangyi Immortal Body is becoming more and more popular, and it is even gradually covered with a special halo.

The reason is simple. The last person who possessed the Liangyi Immortal Body was Lei Jun, the contemporary Tianshi Xuanmen head.

Strictly speaking, the Liangyi Immortal Body has existed since ancient times, but there is only one person who can reach the level of Lei Jun.

So everyone knows that it is the Tianshi Lei headmaster Lei himself who is covered with a mysterious and special color, not just the Liangyi Immortal Body.

But now there is a new person with the Liangyi Immortal Body, who has also entered the Longhu Mountain sect, and may even become Lei Jun's direct disciple, which means something different.

Because Lei Jun is still alive.

In addition to Zhuo Baojie, Lei Jun may personally guide and teach this new teenager.

In this way, with the cultivation of Longhu Mountain, this teenager is already extremely talented, and now his future is even more limitless.

"What's his name?" Xin Beiyuan asked.

Xu Rui: "An Buzheng."

After Zhuo Baojie sent An Buzheng to the Taoist Temple, he went to Sanqing Sanbao Cave to meet his mentor Lei Jun and report the relevant situation:

"He is a citizen of the Tang Dynasty, born in a military family, but relatively grassroots. His elders followed the Tang army and civilians into the Earth Sea in the past.

As the reputation of our sect grows, the An family's determination to pursue the Tao is becoming more and more determined.

When the Earth Sea War was going on, Master quelled the rebellion of the Corpse Flea King, saving many people from danger, including the elders of the An family, so Master, you are especially respected by the An family.

It was a coincidence that the disciple found An Buzheng this time. Even if the disciple made a mistake, when the child's talent becomes more and more prominent, I think he will still come to the mountain gate of our sect to beg for Taoism.

Since this time I met him, it is a kind of fate, so the disciple took the opportunity to pick up this bargain.

Lei Jun smiled slightly: "Nothing wrong. ”

He didn’t need to think about going to the Taoist Temple to see: “Not only does he have the physique of a Liangyi immortal, but he also has excellent comprehension.”

“Master has a sharp eye.”

Zhuo Baojie nodded calmly: “As I see, it must be———-Qingjing.”

Han Xiaofei, who was approaching him and reaching out to the black-and-white-haired man, paused: “Wow, you really found a treasure, senior brother!”

Zhuo Baojie turned around and calmly helped the stunned Han Xiaofei put down his hand: “I’m also lucky once.”

Lei Jun smiled: “The luck of the master or our sect as a whole is better.”

Zhuo Baojie and Han Xiaofei didn’t understand.

Lei Jun: “Just after you, Huajie, Junior Brother Huayuan also brought back a child with an immortal destiny, and his talent is also excellent. Our sect has two happy events today.”

Zhuo Baojie and Han Xiaofei were both surprised, and they were equally happy after they came to their senses: “As Master said, it is indeed a double happiness. "

Lei Jun was somewhat emotional.

With An Buzheng and Chi Haifeng, the core foundation of the fourth generation of disciples in the mansion was directly formed, and it was very solid, and even expected to surpass Zhuo Baojie, Han Xiaofei and other third generation.

In fact, it was less than two hundred years away from Lei Jun's generation.

Looking back to the past and present, many times this is actually equivalent to a generation, but because of various reasons, it was eventually divided into three generations.

As long as people can successfully become talents and gradually realize their talents, three generations are three generations, and it doesn't matter.

Lei Jun was emotional that such a situation occurred, on the one hand, because of the factors of the times, the tide of spiritual energy in the world and the confluence of the human world.

On the other hand, it was because the Longhu Mountain Tianshi Mansion was becoming more and more prosperous, and its reputation was rising, and it gradually became more and more popular with the Tao. The disciples are attracted by the siphon.

In the early years, Xin Lu from Datong gave up the Taoist Dan Ding lineage that was more suitable for him and chose to worship at Longhu Mountain. This was already a sign.

It was more obvious with An Buzheng and Chi Haifeng.

Of course, unlike Xin Lu, with the talents of An Buzheng and Chi Haifeng, it is not a matter of which school or sect they are more suitable for. No matter where they go, they are talented.

But the two of them fell into Longhu Mountain Yizhong on the same day. In addition to coincidence, it was more or less the result of various reasons.

Shushan School and Chunyang Palace also expected this.

Lei Jun and Longhu Mountain will not block people out.

"Junior Brother Hua Rui has been the chief instructor of the Taoist Children's Academy for less than a year. After his three-year term is over, Hua Jie, you can also go to the Taoist Children's Academy to do a term."

Lei Jun smiled and ordered: "Since you have the idea of ​​accepting disciples, stay in the mountain for a few years to teach disciples and help them lay a solid foundation. Talents with natural talents need to be polished more carefully, but you need to pay attention to the polishing method. ”

Zhuo Baojie immediately promised: "Yes, Master, I obey your command."

He left with his junior sister Han Xiaofei.

Han Xiaofei quietly approached Zhuo Baojie: "Brother, from what you said just now, is this nephew An a human?"

Zhuo Baojie: "Of course.

He glanced at Han Xiaofei and saw her eyes rolling, and he knew what the other party was thinking: "Pure coincidence."

Han Xiaofei: "Brother, why do you look at me like that? I am happy for you and Master."

Zhuo Baojie was too lazy to pay attention to her.

What the other party was thinking about was nothing more than their branch. If we count from Yuan Mobai's master, the first generation was human, the second generation was mountain leopard, the third generation was human, the fourth generation became mountain leopard again, and then to An Buzheng, the fifth generation, it was human again.

It is hard not to doubt that if An Buzheng accepts another disciple in the future, will he also accept a panda as his disciple?

But they clearly didn't do it on purpose... Listen, wait a minute, everyone else is fine, but one person is not sure.

Zhuo Baojie's own master Lei Jun...

His own master is the key link in this chain of bears, bears and people.

He wouldn't really be thinking of doing this, right? - Zhuo Baojie couldn't help but secretly complain in his heart.

But in front of his junior sister Han Xiaofei, Zhuo Baojie calmly changed the topic:

"It was indeed just a coincidence. It was rare that the child was so talented and I happened to meet him.

As the saying goes, a single tree cannot make a forest. Junior sister, you have also traveled many times in recent years. Have you ever thought of taking a successor?"

Han Xiaofei sighed immediately: "Don't mention it, senior brother. I have been to Bashu and Hanzhong several times.

I have met many mountain piranhas, but they are all mortal species. They are cute, but I haven't met any that are worth a relationship.

And..."

As she spoke, she glanced at Zhuo Baojie's black and white hair exposed outside his Taoist robe:

“”..—-Moreover, the feel is also average. The fur of all kinds of mountain piranhas is not as soft as it looks. Most of them are hard and prickly. ”

Zhuo Baojie: “You don’t have to just focus on mountain piranhas.”

Han Xiaofei: “I didn’t just focus on mountain piranhas. I also looked for nine-section wolves. Unfortunately, I didn’t encounter any spiritual species.”

”.”Zhuo Baojie accelerated his pace and left the Three Pure Ones and Three Treasures Cave Heaven.

Han Xiaofei hurried to catch up.

Inside the cave heaven, Lei Jun watched the two disciples leave subtly.

Third apprentice Chu Kun came to his side: “Brother originally considered sending nephew Huajie to patrol the wind recently. Now he is about to have a disciple. It seems that he will stay in the mountain for the next few years.”

Lei Jun: “It doesn’t matter. It’s also a training. "

Chu Kun: "That's right. Being the chief instructor at the Taoist Child Academy is a very important position. It is an unwritten rule for the successor to the Heavenly Master to serve as the on-duty elder in the Deacon Hall and the patrol elder. Perhaps it would be better to gain experience in the Deacon Hall, the Taoist Child Academy, and the patrol elder in the future."

Lei Jun: "You don't have to force it. The so-called experience is to cultivate ability and increase knowledge and experience. If it is suitable, of course it is best-"

Before he finished speaking, Chu Kun beside him had a speechless expression on his face. He recited without a pause in his tone, as if reciting:

"Brother, I firmly support Prince Bao to ascend the throne and succeed to the throne. I have never had any unreasonable thoughts about your position. This heart can be seen by the sun and the moon!"

"Brother, you can answer quickly now." Lei Jun: "It's a pity that you still don't understand. At this time, you have to show your loyalty to me. How can you be so obsessed with Prince Bao while I am still in office? "

Chu Kun raised his hand to support his forehead: "Thank you for your teachings, I will remember it next time."

Since ascending to heaven, Lei Jun has indeed planned to step down from the position of Heavenly Master.

Among his peers, Tang Xiaotang has already passed on the throne to Lei Jun. The two Heavenly Masters are from the same generation, which is the result of the joint action of multiple internal and external factors.

Since the younger generation of disciples have grown up, Lei Jun will pass on the throne next. Unless there is a major change, he will not consider his peers.

Although in his opinion, Chu Kun is a suitable candidate, Chu Kun himself has no intention of doing so.

In selecting the next generation of Heavenly Masters from the younger generation of disciples, Lei Jun will not avoid relatives and make him his founding disciple, which is outstanding.

In the history of the Heavenly Master's Mansion, for various reasons, the contemporary Heavenly Master's true disciples are often the best of the best and outstanding.

Especially after the catastrophe at the end of the Han Dynasty, when the spiritual energy of heaven and earth was low and it was difficult to practice, the Heavenly Master opened the door to accept disciples,

There will be more cases of picking the best.

In principle, whoever guides the younger generation back to the mountain to enter Taoism is the one who has a connection with them, and will naturally become their master when they are ordained.

But there will be exceptions when the Tianshi opens his door to accept disciples.

Throughout history, most Taoist children will strive for the opportunity to become the Tianshi's direct disciple, and their original master will also support and fulfill their wishes.

As an external appearance, the direct disciple of the Tianshi has to bear the responsibility of interacting with and even competing with outstanding younger generations from other holy places and famous families.

To a certain extent, the mansion will also tilt resources towards them, so the strong will become stronger.

Although there are exceptions, they are still a minority.

This is not unique to the Tianshi Mansion in Longhu Mountain, but also the norm for other sects and major families.

Before the catastrophe at the end of the Han Dynasty, similar situations were actually common.

Therefore, the overall principle of selecting the virtuous is to be adhered to. According to the principle of selecting the capable, in most cases, the new generation of Heavenly Masters often come from the disciples of the previous Heavenly Master.

There was a certain controversy earlier because of the dispute between Li and others in the Heavenly Master's Mansion of Longhu Mountain. Although the Xinzhou Li family and Yuan family were finally destroyed, some of the Li family members were not removed from the sect.

If we trace back, in addition to Tang Xiaotang, the master and great master of Lei Jun, Xu Yuanzhen, Yuan Mobai, Chu Kun and others all came from the Li family.

Therefore, in the early years, many people wondered whether Lei Jun, as the contemporary Heavenly Master, and his disciples would succeed him as Heavenly Master in the future.

However, nowadays, all this is no longer a problem.

The reason is that when Tang Xiaotang was in office, it could be said that Longhu Mountain was rising again from the trough, but when Lei Jun was in office, the Heavenly Master's Mansion of Longhu Mountain was completely different from the past.

Since the catastrophe at the end of the Han Dynasty , the Tianshi Mansion has never been as prosperous as it is today.

The three generations of four Li Tianshis are tied together, which is far from what Lei Tianshi has brought to Longhu Mountain now.

Even if we count them one by one from ancient times to the present, there are only a handful of Tianshis whose influence and achievements can be compared with Lei Jun.

And Lei Jun's attitude towards the dispute between the famous families of the Tang Dynasty and the Li Wai in the past is no longer a secret.

Even if he resigns as Tianshi and no longer asks about the affairs of Longhu Mountain, he still stands high above the sky, shocking the entire world of the nine heavens and ten earths.

Therefore, although it has only been less than a hundred years, it is enough to wash away the influence and hidden worries brought by the Li family in the past.

The six words "one time is different from another" have never been as applicable as they are now.

Or, to put it bluntly, the ancient talisman school is more sensitive to the Tianshi Mansion of Longhu Mountain now.

"However, nephew Huajie should keep calm, as there will still be some noise from the outside world." After a few jokes between the brothers, Chu Kun slightly straightened his expression.

If Zhuo Baojie wants to take over the Longhu Mountain Gate, the controversy he will face will no longer come from the source of his master, but more likely from two other aspects.

The first is naturally that there has never been a non-human Tianshi in the history of Tianshi Mansion.

The second is precisely because his mentor Lei Jun has too much influence and too many achievements, no matter who the successor is,

there will be a lot of pressure.

And because Zhuo Baojie was born as a spirit beast, the pressure on his achievements and popularity was further magnified.

"During the period when Junior Brother Huajie was the elder on duty at the Deacon Hall, some people in the outside world had already regarded this as a trend."

Chu Kun sighed lightly: "Although there were not many people, there were also some people who whispered that if Junior Brother Huajie wanted to take over the sect, he should establish higher achievements to convince the public."

The reason why he sighed was that many similar voices were not malicious to provoke the relationship between fellow disciples in Longhu Mountain, but were expressed by the relevant people.

Another negative voice was that even if Zhuo Baojie took over, he was just a mouthpiece, and the real master was still his master Lei Jun.

"If Baobao is only interested in gaining fame and reputation, eager to prove himself, and deliberately trying to be different, I really won't consider him to take over the sect."

Lei Jun smiled: "Let it go, be fast when it should be fast, be steady when it should be steady, everything is in place, and his cultivation and talent are enough to support the sect, and people's reputation will naturally gather. In this case, he is the most suitable, so why can't we choose him? In the past, I supported my junior sister to take over the position of Tianshi after Qingfeng Tianshi, but if it was Master who took over, I never thought there was anything wrong."

Chu Kun thought for a while: "Well, I was wrong about this. Junior nephew Huajie is now in a very stable state of mind. He only looks a little bit like before in front of you, Senior Brother. I think he can still move forward steadily after taking over the sect."

Lei Jun: "Some of the sources of controversy are no longer him."

Speaking of which, this matter has some connections with Lei Jun as a master, and even Tang Xiaotang can be involved.

Tianshi Tang stepped down in less than 30 years.

Lei Tianshi has also been in office for only a few decades.

As of now, the combined tenure of the two Tianshis is less than a hundred years.

In the absence of major accidents, their tenures are too short.

In history, similar situations are often only possible in disasters where Tianshis die one after another.

Lei Jun doesn't care much about this.

He won't resign early to show that he doesn't cling to power, but now that he has a qualified successor, he really doesn't miss the position of Tianshi.

After leaving office, he won't give too much advice on how Zhuo Baojie should act.

Including Zhuo Baojie's term of office.

Although Lei Jun and Tang Xiaotang both had short terms of office, if it continues after Zhuo Baojie, it may even become a fixed year-by-year rotation system.

Lei Jun is happy to see this scene, but he doesn't mind whether the later ones must follow his example.

But for many people outside, they actually hope to wait and see.

Not to mention that Lei Jun has already ascended to heaven, even if he has not yet ascended to heaven, in a few hundred years or even a hundred years, there will surely be more talents emerging in the Tianshi Mansion, and there will be more suitable candidates to succeed the Tianshi.

Earlier, the candidates who competed with Zhuo Baojie were mainly concentrated among Qin Caiwei, Xin Beiyuan, Xu Rui, and Zhang Xiong.

In recent years, as Han Xiaofei, Cheng Rongrong, and Feng Ting's cultivation realms have grown by leaps and bounds, different voices have gradually emerged.

”””---Well, okay, Elder Han is generally good at dealing with people, but for those who know her, they still feel a little uneasy.

In addition, for various reasons, her presence is always a little weak among the cultivators inside and outside Longhu Mountain who are at a low and medium level of cultivation.

Cheng Rongrong is a spiritual beast like Zhuo Baojie, needless to say,

But Lei Jun’s little disciple Feng Ting has impressed many people.

Although Feng Ting is low-key, he is calm and capable, and has amazing talent.

The higher the path of cultivation, the more difficult it is, and the more time it takes to accumulate.

At present, there is still a big gap between his cultivation and Zhuo Baojie, but if the time span is extended to a hundred years or even more, this problem will definitely not be obvious.

As time goes by, similar characters will surely continue to emerge, and even more outstanding ones are not a problem.

For example, An Buzheng and Chi Haifeng are not yet known to the outside world, but it does not affect everyone's similar judgment.

"Hua Ting himself has no intention of this, so there is no need to force it. "

Lei Jun said: "Daily teaching is intended to prevent him from being too biased towards one side and drifting away, rather than forcing him to change his temperament.

To be honest, people choose their own path. If he really wants to go his own way, others don't need to say much. Of course, Hua Ting is not such a person.

In this case, even more so, if you throw an overweight burden on him, he can certainly bear it, but how is that different from a lock? "

Chu Kun nodded slightly, he felt the same way.
