Chapter 309 308 Eighth Heaven, second floor, middle view of the Divine Court (three-in-one
Chapter 309 Chapter 308. Second floor of the eighth heaven, middle view of the divine court (three-in-one chapter)
Taoist monks of the Fulu Sect reach the eighth level of heaven and cultivate into the Divine Court. They condense what they have learned in Taoism, unite their souls, and create their own first level of heaven and earth in the body, which naturally corresponds to the outside world and the universe, so it is called the inner scene of the Divine Court.
With further practice, the interior of the divine court will expand and become more complete, from a rough prototype to the real universe and heaven and earth.
The divine court in Lei Jun's body seemed to be divided into two halves before, but it was not really divided, but rather like the yin and yang fish of Tai Chi, interacting with each other.
At this moment, under Lei Jun's control, all the methods he has practiced successfully are presented one by one.
The Dharma Elephant of Doumu Star God, the Dharma Elephant of Jiutian Lei Ancestor, the Dharma Elephant of Xuanxiao Lei Ancestor, the Dharma Elephant of Jiuyuan Yan Ancestor and the Dharma Elephant of Tianchen Yan Ancestor stand side by side.
The Liangyiyuan Magnetic Dharma Urn, the Heavenly Connecting Earthly Clearing Dharma Urn, the Lingguan Urn, the Heavenly Walking Urn and the Dharma Urn made of rings around the stars coexist.
In addition to these natal talismans, other talisman methods that Lei Jun is familiar with have also turned into little auras, hanging around.
Following Lei Jun's thoughts, these many talismans began to further increase and then differentiate.
All the talismans became duplicates at this moment.
Then it divides the sides and falls into Lei Jun's divine court which is faintly divided into two halves, corresponding to each other.
There is only one altar, unique, located in the center of the divine court that is vaguely divided into half but still unified.
The altar is divided into three layers, with an upper circle and an octagonal lower center, shining with purple, gold and blue colors.
This Dharma altar is the achievement of the "Zhengfa Zhenyi Daodao Sutra", the fundamental method of Lei Jun's practice and attainment of Taoism, and is the foundation of all Dharmas.
After Lei Jun reached the realm of the Eighth Heavenly Divine Court, he obtained all seven volumes of the "Zhengfa Zhenyi Dao Sutra" passed down by the Tianshi Mansion.
Through practice, one becomes unified.
With this altar as the core hub of the divine court, this interior universe began to gradually grow.
Located on both sides, the identical and complete talismans of all Dharma doors are shining with light, each with its own trajectory and moving slowly.
Lei Jun himself meditated quietly, exhaling and concentrating his energy. At this moment, the surface of his body also began to glow with purple, gold, and green colors.
His skin is moist and transparent as jade for an instant, then returns to normal, and then undergoes related changes, and so on.
The fresh air that seemed to be engraved with red inscriptions flew out of the purple gourd. After being absorbed by Lei Jun, the purple gourd flashed with light, turning into little streams of light, and automatically dissipated in the air.
After the Qing Qi was absorbed by Lei Jun, it fell into his divine court and began to be continuously refined.
Under the influence of this clear air, the rate of change in Lei Jun Shenting suddenly began to accelerate.
"The ancestral calamity is transformed into more than ninety-nine thousand Brahma Qi. The red book is glowing, with six hundred and sixty-eight true texts. The nine heavens are opened due to the chaotic red text, and the jade calendar of the Jiyuan Cave is divided into five calamities. The latitude and longitude of the sky and the earth are towering. The sect of creation. The pivot of yin and machine yang, the ancestor of drow thunder..."
Lei Jun silently recited the Taoist Scripture Baogao.
The pure Qi formed by the Fanqi Immortal Gourd is divided into two directions upward and downward at the same time, penetrating his divine court.
Ascending as high as the sky.
Let’s talk about the latitude and longitude of creation.
Along with this process, Lei Jun's divine court continued to expand and improve.
At the same time, this aspect of the interior universe also constantly resonates with the external real universe.
His divine court seemed to be really divided into two, with the top and bottom contrasting.
As if they were reflections of each other.
At the same time, it is also compared with the real universe outside.
Through his training, Lei Jun has a deeper understanding of the principles of nature, heaven and earth, and the artistic conception of his own Taoism.
At night, the stars are shining in the night sky.
Lei Jun was meditating in meditation. The upward and sublime part of the divine court seemed to have turned into a starry sky, with stars dotting the sky.
In the daytime, after greeting Yuan Mobai and Tang Xiaotang, he quietly went down to the foot of Longhu Mountain without disturbing other members of the family.
In the earth's veins, Lei Jun sat quietly on the bank of the long river of spiritual energy, silently comprehending the flow of luck.
At this moment, in Lei Jun’s eyes, the mountains, rivers and earth were like a whole.
And this whole body also has a way to rotate and move.
The massive magnetic power originating from it began to become clear in Lei Jun's eyes.
The so-called latitude and longitude of creation is no longer unfathomable.
In contrast to the resonance, the downward condensed part of the divine court in Lei Jun's body is like the core of the Jiuyuan Earth, where the Yuan magnetic path can be seen.
In this process of day and night alternating and heaven and earth turning over, the inner scene of the divine court in Lei Jun's body began to become more and more stable and clear from its initial rough prototype.
“Well, we’re starting to get a rough idea.” Lei Jun nodded slightly.
The next step is to continue to accumulate, making the starry sky and geomagnetism more complete, and making the entire inner scene of the Divine Court stronger and stronger.
Until the moment when the middle scene of the Divine Court is finally achieved.
After the framework is set, the next step is some hard work of meditation practice.
Fanqi Immortal Gourd, in addition to helping him lay the framework more smoothly, it can also shorten the time required for practice in the future.
Lei Jun stayed on the mountain for the next few days.
In addition to fulfilling his duties as a high-gong elder, assisting Tang Xiaotang, Yuan Mobai and others in handling affairs in the mansion and teaching his apprentice Zhuo Baojie, he also meditates on his own practice.
This summer, Daochang Lei celebrated his fiftieth birthday.
As for his great disciple Zhuo Baojie, within less than four years after being given the talisman, he successfully formed the Yuan Fu and reached the fourth level of the Taoist talisman sect.
The rate of progress is extremely fast.
However, Lei Jun and others were not surprised.
This Gungun is extremely talented, especially in terms of physical capital. He has made rapid progress in practice before, which is the process of realizing his foundation.
It's just the fourth level of the Tianyuan Fu realm of the Fulu Sect. Compared with the life skills, it is more focused on the cultivation of the nature of the soul.
So the novice benefits of Zhuo Baojie have come to an end for the time being.
“Beware of arrogance and impetuosity, be steady and steady, and don’t feel anxious just because the next practice is not as enjoyable as before.”
Lei Jun looked at the furry little guy in front of him, revealing the sleeves and neckline of the crimson robe: "Don't worry about the time when you reach the fifth level of the Heavenly Palace in the future, and you will turn to physical life skills again. You can have good days again. You must know that your ambitions are high. Keep your feet on the ground and walk the path ahead of you at all times.”
Zhuo Baojie looked solemn and determined, folded his two little paws in front of his chest, and saluted Lei Jun: "Disciple, please follow Master's teachings."
Lei Jun nodded slightly.
Perhaps Zhuo Baojie may have other opportunities in the future.
But during the following period of practice, it is appropriate for his state of mind to remain stable.
The little bear on the opposite side said again: "Master, regarding the first method of my life, I want to choose step fighting on the Gang."
Lei Jun nodded: "Okay."
This is not purely an inherent tradition of Lei Jun and his team. In the entire Tianshi Mansion, Ta Gang Bu Dou is one of the favorites with the highest probability of selection.
For Zhuo Baojie, who prefers the route of physical life skills, step fighting is the most suitable method for him.
After the third heaven created its own soul-devouring talisman before, this Gungun returned to the orthodox route when he reached the fourth heaven realm.
Although, he insisted on not changing into a human form, and he looked a little happy as he stepped forward to pay homage to the emperor...
"Has Master Bao Bao's Nephew reached the three-day cultivation level?" Chu Kun returned to the mountain gate in the past two days and saw Lei Jun teaching Zhuo Baojie how to practice step fighting. He couldn't help asking with a smile.
Zhuo Baojie walked around the altar for a week, returned to his original position, stopped, and then bowed to Chu Kun in a formal manner: "Uncle Master."
Lei Jun: "I came back later than expected. Is the family's relocation not going well?"
Chu Kun shook his head first: "That's not true, because of some other things, it was delayed a little bit."
He asked: "What is Senior Brother busy at the moment?"
Lei Jun: "You should meditate on your own, not in seclusion."
He told his disciple Zhuo Baojie to practice quietly, and then left the house with Chu Kun and went to Wang Guiyuan's residence.
Wang Guiyuan saw Chu Kun coming back and asked, "Third junior brother came back a little late this time, are you okay?"
Chu Kun: "Senior brother, don't worry, we are not in any danger. I returned to the mountain a little late this time because I stayed in the coastal area for a while to help with disaster relief."
After the three brothers sat down, he said: "There have been huge changes in the East China Sea this time. Tsunamis have occurred one after another. The coastal areas have been greatly disturbed. Fortunately, the imperial court has arranged manpower to make preparations in advance."
However, it is not without problems.
A little bit of corruption, but not surprisingly there is still some.
It even affected the disaster relief, so Chu Kun stayed there to help protect the embankment and prevent tsunamis, so it was too late to return to the mountain.
With him was Fang Yue.
Fang Yue originally planned to return to Jianye to continue the opening of the new academy, but this time he also stayed to help.
For practitioners, the grain and rice provided by civilians for disaster relief are not that great.
However, among the materials used to strengthen seawalls to intercept tsunamis, there are many treasures of great use.
After the incident, the Tang Dynasty imperial family generally took a harsh attitude in dealing with the incident.
However, on the other hand…
“Some masters from Tianlong Temple have big appetites...” Chu Kun said while quietly observing Wang Guiyuan’s expression.
Although when he was in the Chu tribe, he often heard his elders or older peers talk about the rights and wrongs of Tianlong Temple, this personal experience still surprised Chu Kun.
The seawall is long, and in addition to people from the government, there are also other local forces doing the work of protecting the seawall and providing disaster relief.
Yuhang, the north of Mingzhou, Songjiang and other places are basically responsible for the two major local forces in Su and Yang, the Chu tribe and Tianlong Temple.
As a result, there was also news.
Hearing this, Lei Jun glanced at Wang Guiyuan.
Wang Guiyuan looked as usual, not surprised: "How many people are there?"
Chu Kun: "Not many have been confirmed, only a few people, but Master Faping, who is responsible for leading the team, and Elder Miaohui, who came later to deal with related matters...well, they care more about the disciples."
That is to say, to protect shortcomings, or even to cover up... Lei Jun understands.
In that case, it is difficult to say how many people are involved.
But, there is a problem.
“The practice of Tianlong Temple is a lineage of Buddhist vows...” Lei Jun turned to look at Wang Guiyuan.
Wang Guiyuan sighed: "People are different, and their wishes are different. If you make a wish and return it, you don't always sow good causes and get good results. Of course, it is impossible to say that there is no impact at all."
Lei Jun: “It seems that the impact is not very big.”
Although Monk Faping is not as good as Faming, he is still an eminent monk of Tianlong Temple who has reached the three-day level. He is the elder who led the disciples in the temple to protect the embankment and provide disaster relief.
As for Elder Miaohui, he is the elder of Tianlong Temple who is of the same generation as Abbot Miaoxin, Elder Miaokong and Elder Miaoyi, and has a cultivation level of the eighth heaven.
Lei Jun couldn't help but wonder, have they always been like this, or have they slowly changed into what they are now?
“People are different.” Wang Guiyuan repeated this sentence: “In recent years, I heard that the atmosphere in the temple has become slightly better.”
Lei Jun suddenly remembered Wang Guiyuan’s simple evaluation of Abbot Miaoxin.
He thought thoughtfully: "Abbot Miaoxin, can you handle this matter?"
Chu Kun on the side also thought of something: "Elder Miaohui's mentor is Master Yunhui, the Supreme Elder of Tianlong Temple..."
Yun Hui is the Supreme Elder of the previous generation of Tianlong Temple. He was also the former nominally number one master of Tianlong Temple. He has perfected his cultivation in the eighth level.
Until Monk Faqing reappeared during the Battle of Longhu Mountain this year, in the eyes of the world, the lineage of Tianlong Temple had only one more eminent monk who reached the perfect realm of the eighth heaven.
Because of his old age, Master Yunhui has been living in seclusion in recent years and rarely asks about foreign affairs.
But when it comes to Tianlong Temple’s Dinghai Shenzhen, whether inside or outside the temple, the first thing that comes to mind is the Supreme Elder.
It wasn't until Faqing's shocking appearance this year that discussions started again. However, Faqing did not return to Tianlong Temple, which left everyone in Tianlong Temple helpless.
“Master Yun Hui’s uncle himself is not infected with the poison of greed and ignorance, but for the word anger...” Wang Guiyuan shook his head slightly: “He also... well, in the words of the third junior brother, he cares about the younger disciples, so...”
Chu Kun consoled him: "Master Yunhui is old after all. Most of the affairs in Tianlong Temple are now presided over by Abbot Miaoxin. With the surge of spiritual energy in the world, younger generations of eminent monks will continue to emerge in the Buddhist lineage, and there will be Miaoxin. With the guidance of Abbot Xin, Elder Miaokong and Master Faming, we will surely become clearer and clearer."
He and Lei Jun have the same suspicions.
My senior brother is obviously leaning towards Abbot Miaoxin, Elder Miaokong and others.
But he did not stay at Tianlong Temple, and he has no intention of returning now.
Although he has many responsibilities, the current situation is obviously better than before.
If Abbot Miaoxin gets monk Faqing to return to Tianlong Temple and support him, many things will go more smoothly.
Although there is the possibility of civil strife, it is better than the current situation...
Lei Jun and Chu Kun looked at each other and passed the topic without asking further.
Later later, senior sister Xu Yuanzhen finally returned to Longhu Mountain.
“The world dominated by the Ming Dynasty is somewhat interesting.”
Even though she said this, there was a bit of disgust on her face.
Lei Jun: "Same as the whole of Tianli, is Confucianism also in power?"
Xu Yuanzhen: "Yes, under the influence of mountains and rivers and national destiny, it also affects the rotation of the void realm, making it difficult to find the door. Although I have had some contact with it, I can't get in for the time being."
She sat down casually: "But it doesn't bother me. I will be free later on this trip. I will prepare some things so that I can dig in directly next time."
Lei Jun looked at the other person's expression and could clearly see that the corners of her mouth were slightly curved upward, showing that she was very interested.
Obviously, this trip failed to enter the Ming Dynasty world, but instead aroused Xu Yuanzhen's interest there.
So that she had no intention of looking for another void portal nearby, but planned to open one herself.
It's just that she has other things to deal with first.
“Huang, Xuan, Pu…” Xu Yuanzhen nodded and spoke.
She has always spoken in secret words as fast as rain hitting a jade plate. She rarely speaks out word by word as slowly as she does now.
Tang Xiaotang snorted from the side: "It's a pity that Tianshipao came back a little late, otherwise I would definitely have a chance encounter with him."
Xu Yuanzhen: "It's not a pity to wear the robe of the Heavenly Master, it's a pity to me."
The sudden entry of people from the Lone Eagle Khanate into the Tang Dynasty exceeded almost everyone’s expectations.
At that time, Xu Yuanzhen had already entered into the principles of heaven.
If the Lone Eagle Khanate hadn't suddenly caused chaos in the northwest, and the Tianli of the East China Sea had distracted the Tang court's attention, and Xu Yuanzhen himself wasn't around, the Taoist kingdoms on earth wouldn't have attacked Longhu Mountain.
At that time, it was indeed a rare opportunity for them, and it was fleeting.
It’s just that I never thought that I would suffer a broken bone and tendon at the foot of Longhu Mountain.
But Huang Xuanpu and Fu Dongsen retreated.
Although Xu Yuanzhen is now interested in the world of the Ming Dynasty, before that, she plans to find Huang Xuanpu first.
Although she despises the world, she doesn't care about it so much.
The relationship with Huang Xuanpu is purely personal.
Although Li Qingfeng was not killed by Huang Xuanpu, the most direct reason for his death was Huang Xuanpu's surprise attack.
As far as Xu Yuanzhen is concerned, it is impossible for her to treat and tolerate other members of the Li family preferentially because of Li Qingfeng's personal reasons.
But if Li Qingfeng himself died, she would definitely give an explanation to the master.
"Although it has not been confirmed yet, according to recent news from the Shushan Sect, Taiyi Xiantian Tower may have been recovered by Fu Dongsen again." Yuan Mo Baiyan said: "On the other hand, the whereabouts of Qingxiao Mansion are still unknown. "
Xu Yuanzhen: "Well, that's a clue. Where is Chunyang Palace?"
Yuan Mobai: "There was a storm, but fortunately the whole army was not wiped out."
Tang Xiaotang interrupted: "That's almost it."
Yuan Mobai sighed when he heard the sound.
The current situation of Chunyang Palace is even worse than that of the Shushan sect, which had previously been divided.
Huang Xuanpu’s foundation in Chunyang Palace is deeper than Fu Dongsen’s in Shushan Sect.
In addition to the previous generation Supreme Elder Rong Guangchen, Huang Xuanpu's younger brother, the previous White Tiger Elder Guan Jing, was also the thorn in his and the human world's Dao Kingdom's side in Chunyang Palace.
Even though Rong Guangchen, Gu Han, Feng Yi and others have broken away, there are still a group of Dao Kingdom believers in the Chunyang Palace.
After the battle at Longhu Mountain, Chunyang Palace was on the front line against the Lone Eagle Khanate in the northwest, and the Chunyang Palace was in trouble again.
Finally, the queen, who had been supervising the formation in Chang'an, came to Chunyang Palace in person, and Guan Jing and others died.
However, the Queen did not embarrass Chunyang Palace more, but instead comforted the others.
Lü Jinduan and Wang Xuan, who was recuperating, looked at each other without saying anything. They could only gather their spirits and try their best to rebuild the precarious holy land of the Taoist Danding Sect.
Somewhat unexpectedly, Yue Xiling, a close disciple of Huang Xuanpu, was not from a Taoist country.
It's just that at this time, after experiencing the previous turmoil in Chunyang Palace, when the outside world looks at Yuexiling, they can't help but feel doubts and scrutiny.
Yue Xiling remained silent in response, but because he avoided suspicion, he did not participate in the reconstruction of Chunyang Palace.
Coupled with Wang Xuan's physical and mental condition, Chunyang Palace was left with only Lu Jinduan, an eighth-level pillar, making Elder Lu want to cry without tears.
There are only a few monks like Jiang Yu left in the seventh heaven.
Chun Yang Palace has entered a valley that has never been seen in more than a thousand years.
What’s even worse is how the world thinks of them now.
Who knows, among the remaining people, are there still people from the human world who continue to hide?
Even if it is true, for some people, this is still a good excuse to suppress Chunyang Palace.
Chun Yang Palace wants to survive the current low period, which is obviously difficult to the naked eye.
“Yue Xiling may not be big, otherwise when the Shushan sect split up, the results would have been different.” Xu Yuanzhen said casually.
On the way to **** Liao Jie back to Shushan from Nanhuang, Chu Yu went with Wei Qiyue and Yue Xiling before meeting up with Zhang Dongyuan.
If Yue Xiling has the same problem as Wei Qiyue, they can intercept Liao Jie on the spot.
Even if Chu Yu can escape, Shushan may not break up at that time.
Even though Wei Qiyue and Yue Xiling were exposed, Fu Dongsen and Hong Jie might be able to keep it a secret.
"Speaking of which, His Majesty has not personally taken action for nearly twenty years." Yuan Mobai recalled: "The last time was when the East China Sea was in chaos."
Before, another demonic rebellion broke out in Guanlong. Although the Queen personally went to the old capital of Chang'an to take charge, she did not personally take action.
“With Guan Jing, you can’t tell her true level.” Xu Yuanzhen said casually.
Lei Jun: "Sister, what is the situation with the Ming Dynasty and Tianli?"
Xu Yuanzhen gave a brief summary: "The Ming Dynasty replaced the Qian Dynasty. When the founder of the country later passed the throne, he did not pass it on to his son, but to the emperor's grandson.
Afterwards, the young emperor succeeded to the throne, weakened the kings, and the country was in turmoil, which attracted the vassal kings to raise armies in the name of Jingnan, and finally succeeded in overthrowing the young emperor.
The ministers of the Young Emperor's dynasty gathered around the young Emperor's blood descendants and fled to Tibet, which is the Heavenly Law. They closed the void door connecting the Heavenly Law to the human world in the Ming Dynasty, and they have survived in the Heavenly Law to this day.
It is difficult for them to rely on Neo-Confucianism and the ritual system of monarchs and ministers, and to develop the fate of mountains, rivers and countries according to the laws of nature, but compared with the real human world, it is only self-comfort, and it is not seen that they have the ability to counterattack the Ming Dynasty human world.
However, although I was not able to go in this time, after getting in touch with it, I felt that the national destiny of the Ming Dynasty was also gloomy. "
Tang Xiaotang was curious: "In that world, in that period of history, has the Tianshi Mansion really perished?"
Xu Yuanzhen: "Well, the entire lineage of the Taoist Fulu sect has been basically cut off. I heard that the Danding sect and the weapon refining sect are still circulating, but the mainstream of the Ming dynasty's world is also the so-called Neo-Confucianism."
Tang Xiaotang pouted: "I heard from Lei Jun that I hate this sect."
Xu Yuanzhen stood up: "I will take care of it later. For now, Huang Xuanpu is the first one. I will go to Zhongnan Mountain to have a look first."
Tang Xiaotang suddenly asked: "Senior sister, are you more than the ninth level of cultivation?"
Xu Yuanzhen passed by her: "Yes, you still have plenty of work to do."
Tang Xiaotang: "Just wait, I will definitely break through the Nine Heavens realm in less time than you!"
As far as Lei Jun knows, it took Xu Yuanzhen about twenty-five years to go from the first level of the Eighth Heaven to the first level of the Ninth Heaven.
Tang Xiaotang's words, from the time she broke through to the eighth heaven to now, about eighteen years have passed.
She has successfully reached the perfect state of the fourth level of the eighth heaven.
But firstly, the scenery in the divine court still needs to be warmed and nourished, and secondly, there is a natural chasm from the eighth heaven to the ninth heaven that blocks it.
As for Xu Yuanzhen and Tang Xiaotang, it took about twelve years to go from the seventh heaven to the eighth heaven.
There may be slight differences, but Tang Xiaotang is obviously not satisfied with the difference of a few days or months.
Through this calculation, there is still suspense in terms of time.
Of course, it’s not all hopeless.
It took Tang Xiaotang a little longer to go from the interior of the divine court on the first floor of the Eighth Heaven to the middle shot of the divine court on the second floor of the Eighth Heaven, more than nine years.
This is related to the fact that she put more thought into inferring her own talismans and opening up a new path for cultivation in the house.
However, during this process, she also constantly sorted out and summarized what she had learned.
From then on, it took her only about four years to go from the middle shot of the second floor of the Eighth Heavenly Palace to the exterior shot of the third floor of the Eighth Heavenly Palace, and from the exterior shot of the third floor of the Eighth Heavenly Palace to the upper shot of the fourth floor of the Eighth Heavenly Palace. The scene from the inner scene of the Divine Courtyard to the middle scene of the Divine Courtyard is much faster.
For her now, it doesn’t take much effort to stabilize and accumulate the scenery of the Divine Court.
The suspense is more about when we can accumulate and prepare to attack the disaster in the natural chasm between the eighth and ninth heavens.
That is the stumbling block that has blocked countless masters throughout the ages.
Tang Tianshi was full of fighting spirit, but Xu Yuanzhen didn't care much about it.
She walked out of the door without stopping or turning around: "That's good, for you, it will be more conducive to your progress if you don't have to worry about being restless and unstable and have a goal."
Tang Xiaotang puffed up his cheeks and said nothing.
The other party's indifferent attitude made her even more angry.
Lei Jun and others couldn't help but smile when they saw this.
Xu Yuanzhen did not stay on Longhu Mountain for long. After saying goodbye to Lei Jun and others, he went down the mountain again. ………
In the depths of the North Sea, a pagoda rises and falls.
Inside the pagoda, Huang Xuanpu, dressed in a black and white Taoist robe, stands tall, with a leisurely look and a peaceful aura.
In front of him stood two people, both wearing cloth clothes and hemp shoes, dressed simply, looking like Taoist priests of the Shushan sect.
One of them is Fu Dongsen, the former head of Shushan Sect.
The other person is Liu Dongzhuo, the former Shushan sect elder.
Liu Dongzhuo looked ashamed and said, "Dongzhuo was incompetent and did not keep Chen Yi. I hope the emperor will forgive me."
Huang Xuanpu smiled and shook his head: "Don't worry about Dongzhuo, let's go and rest first."
"Yes, Emperor." Liu Dongzhuo saluted him and Fu Dongsen again, and then withdrew.
Fu Dongsen asked: "Emperor, if not, let me go..."
Huang Xuanpu: "Dongsen, although your injuries are gradually recovering, there is no rush for now. After you have recovered, it is still important to find Qingxiao Mansion first."
"Yes." Fu Dongsen replied: "It was all thanks to the emperor's personal intervention before, otherwise it would be difficult for me to find the Taiyi Xiantian Tower."
Huang Xuanpu smiled and shook his head: "I am not good at the external elixir magic weapon. It mainly depends on you."
Fu Dongsen: "Uncle Hong and Brother Gu Dao, there is still no news. I'm afraid they have..."
Although he was in Taiyi Xiantian Tower, located deep under the sea, Huang Xuanpu still looked to the west at this time, as if he were looking at the land of the Western Regions across thousands of rivers and mountains:
“Xumi…Vajra Division.”
Preliminary information is that Hong Jie was injured and left after a big battle with Zhang Dongyuan and Renzhu. She subsequently disappeared without any news.
If she died under Zhang Dongyuan's Qing Ming Sword, Zhang Dongyuan had no reason to hide it.
From this point of view, it seems more likely that it was Master Renzhu of the Sumeru Vajra Division.
In addition, Gu Han also disappeared in the earth.
but…
“What is the relationship between Tianlong Temple and Longhu Mountain?” Huang Xuanpu asked.
Fu Dongsen was also puzzled by this: "It's not clear yet. As far as I know, even Tianlong Temple itself was shocked by this incident and made repeated inquiries, but couldn't find the key."
If the sudden appearance of the Celestial Master's Seal is somewhat psychologically prepared, the sudden intervention of Faqing from Tianlong Temple, as well as the fly whisk and ancient mirror left by Xu Yuanzhen, are completely beyond the calculations of the human world.
“One wrong move and you lose not only the whole game, but also half the game.”
Huang Xuanpu's expression was calm and there was no sign of frustration: "However, it is much easier to determine the whereabouts of the Tianshi Seal than the Wanfa Zongtan. Next, we will wait for the opportunity of the Tianshi Seal."
Fu Dongsen: “Yes.”
Huang Xuanpu glanced at him: "Dongsen has unfinished business."
Fu Dongsen was silent after hearing this, and after a while he said softly: "Emperor, we have now turned from light to darkness."
It is not difficult to guess what he meant.
Since the target is no longer the Wanfa Zongtan and the Longhu Mountain Ancestral Court, they may be able to act more casually next.
How many monks from the Fu Lu Sect in the world can stop Huang Xuanpu's attack?
Even he, Fu Dongsen, would not be afraid of more than five fingers.
The mutual restraint between high-level powerful men often involves preventing each other from massacring middle- and lower-level monks.
At present, there are few concerns in this regard in the human world.
Huang Xuanpu smiled when he heard this: "Although Dongsen doesn't practice swords, the Shushan monk's desire for gratification and revenge is no less than that of a swordsman."
Fu Dongsen: “It’s me, Meng Lang.”
Huang Xuanpu: "We suffered a setback in the battle at Longhu Mountain, and we suffered heavy losses, which also made the Taoist disciples below feel uneasy. It is not wrong for Dongsen to want to reunite people's hearts, but impatience will not achieve anything."
He sighed with a smile: "The battle at Longhu Mountain is actually because we are all impatient and should take a warning."
Fu Dongsen: “I will obey the emperor’s teachings.”
Huang Xuanpu looked at the other party calmly: "The wars in the east and west directions of the Tang Dynasty seem to have subsided now, but it has just begun."
Fu Dongsen: "I have heard that the so-called Ming Dynasty in the laws of heaven does not seem to be the real Ming Dynasty. There is another human world in this world that is not inferior to ours."
Huang Xuanpu: "Yes, so there is still chaos in the east, and why isn't it the same in the west?"
Fu Dongsen was a little surprised: "What about the Lone Eagle Khanate..."
Huang Xuanpu: "Right now, Dongsen will look for Qingxiao Mansion first. If there are clues, Ziwei Jian will not let them go."
He thought thoughtfully: "Is there any news about Chen Donglou recently?"
During the battle at Longhu Mountain, in addition to being wary of Xu Yuanzhen, the human world was also wary of Chen Donglou's sudden appearance.
Unexpectedly, Chen Donglou was not seen, but Faqing came to Tianlong Temple.
Fu Dongsen: “There is currently no news about him.”
Huang Xuanpu: "Be careful while looking for Qingxiao Mansion and Ziwei Sword."
Fu Dongsen: "Yes, Emperor."
………
Jingzhou.
The ancestral land of the Fang clan in Jingxiang.
After the war in the northwest, Fang Jingsheng, the leader of the Fang clan in Jingxiang, returned to Jingxiang with his nephew Fang Zhu and others.
Fang Zhu’s father, Fang Huansheng, the eldest man of the Fang family who was responsible for staying in his ancestral land, came out to welcome him.
“Brother.” Fang Jingsheng returned to Jingzhou hand in hand with Fang Huansheng, followed by Fang Zhu and others.
"It's over on the East China Sea side," Fang Huansheng said.
Fang Jingsheng nodded: "I have heard about it. Brother, please tell me the details."
Fang Huansheng spoke eloquently.
Fang Jingsheng's brows furrowed more and more as he listened. After Fang Huansheng finished speaking, he relaxed: "The so-called Neo-Confucianism is a prosperous age for all scholars, but it is not a prosperous age for a certain family, one surname, or one person and several people, waiting for etiquette. Under the control, it may be the prosperous age of the emperor, but in the final analysis, the center completely dominates the local area.”
Fang Huansheng nodded slightly: "It's hard to predict whether good or bad fortune will happen. A whole family may be overturned overnight."
Fang Jingsheng walked away for a while and asked, "Is there any more information about Ye Hongzhen?"
Fang Huansheng: "In comparison, Qingzhou suffered the dumb loss this time."
Fang Jingsheng: "Brother, make arrangements for me and send my regards to Qingzhou to express my condolences."
After the other party responded, he asked again: "Where is Lei Chongyun from the Tianshi Mansion?"
Fang Huansheng: "First of all, I was very surprised. With the help of the three major Dharma elephants of the Taoist Fulu Sect, I was able to defeat the Tianli monks on the second level of the Eighth Heaven in a short period of time.
But he was later imprisoned due to the Neo-Confucianism Ceremony, and it took a long time before he got out of trouble, but he got out on his own.
That town seal is indeed extraordinary. It is said that even three arrows from Suzhou Chu Shuyin failed to break it. "
Fang Jingsheng and Fang Huansheng looked at each other: "We might as well try to find some clues about this ritual. Although it is a Neo-Confucian ritual, if it can be reproduced, it may be of great use in the future."
“I have already ordered my clan members to go to the East China Sea.” Fang Huansheng replied, “I believe Suzhou and Qingzhou are also trying to figure it out.”
Fang Jingsheng nodded: "Don't underestimate Tianshi Mansion Lei Chongyun just because of this ritual. He can quickly kill opponents with higher levels in a short period of time, which is enough to prove his talent.
In the battle at Longhu Mountain that day, Qianye Butterfly King, Rong Guangchen, and Wei Qiyue were quickly defeated. The key to Tianshi Mansion's defeat seemed to indeed lie with Tianshi Yin and him. "
Fang Huansheng: "I understand."
It was not that Lei Jun was trapped in the Neo-Confucian ritual, which made him appear weak.
On the contrary, it was precisely because it could trap Lei Jun for a long time that it highlighted the value of the Neo-Confucian ritual!
………
There are many disturbances from the outside world.
Lei Jun stayed peacefully on Longhu Mountain during this period, practicing quietly.
However, there is an episode in the middle.
In the dark side of the universe, the moon star he released has landed.
Should we say it or not, we are all destined to be together.
The person who got Lei Jun's third obsidian was the Ming Dynasty man who had a chance encounter in the East China Sea.
Nie Fang.
Although he did not carefully check Nie Fang's physical and mental state at the beginning, the other party taught himself the Yanshi method based on the incomplete Taoist scriptures, and he was able to achieve initial success. In addition to his outstanding understanding, his soul should not be underestimated.
The Yanshi lineage, although it has both the Taoist Talisman School and the Weapon Refining School, can be seen just by looking at the way it refines and controls the bronze machine man, that it must be a practice that pays more attention to the nature of the soul.
Although we are still far apart geographically, we have met again... Lei Jun smiled.
However, what was more unexpected was that Nie Fang was still floating outside alone.
Lei Jun originally thought that after the other party had a general understanding of the situation in Datang, he would join the Tang imperial family.
Or, join the academy.
Although Nie Fang is the foundation of Taoist practice, he is still influenced by the Neo-Confucian etiquette of Tianli.
Since the void portal from Heaven to the human world of the Tang Dynasty was sealed, the influence in this area was much weakened.
But it still exists to some extent, and it is a huge hidden danger.
Nie Fang finally got rid of the shackles, so he naturally hoped to completely cut off the relevant ties.
In this regard, in public perception, there is no doubt that the Emperor of Tang, who upholds the fate of this world and the country, can best solve the problem.
But Nie Fang hesitated.
Because of what happened in Tianli, do you have any scruples about the court? Lei Jun guessed.
As he expected, Nie Fang did hesitate because of this.
But he also knows that there is no such thing as a free lunch.
If he wants to eliminate the influence of Confucianism on the side of Tianli, he should bear some risks and even costs.
But just when Nie Fang was about to make up his mind, another opportunity appeared in front of him.
Looking at the pale and strange universe, Nie Fang lost his voice for a moment.
Lei Jun does have a solution to his problem.
Lei Jun still doesn't know how to perform detailed operations on Confucian etiquette, natural principles, and the fate of mountains and rivers.
But just to clear and cut off these, the power of the dark side of the Heavenly Book is the suitable blade.
It just takes some time to slowly disappear, so it is not suitable for fighting against science monks in actual combat.
It's no problem to greet Nie Fang now.
There is no such thing as a free lunch.
Lei Jun’s requirements for Nie Fang were the same as those for Kang Ming and Meng Shaojie.
People or things related to the ancient Fu Lu sect.
He just took this opportunity to learn more about the inheritance of the Fu Lu Sect in the Ming Dynasty.
The Fu Lu Sect has indeed declined in the Ming Dynasty, but Nie Fang’s Yanshi inheritance is related to the Fu Lu Sect.
Nie Fang really did not disappoint Taoist Master Lei.
He provided a residual talisman.
The talisman is incomplete and of limited practical use.
But the Dharma stored in it made Lei Jun thoughtful:
“Penglai…”
In ancient times, among the Nine Heavens and Ten Lands, there were three places that had a deep relationship with Taoism, namely Kunlun and Penglai among the Nine Heavens, and Huangquan among the Ten Lands.
The inheritance of the Talisman Sect in the Ming Dynasty has declined, but is it possible that it is related to Penglai?
I just don’t know what Penglai has become now... Lei Jun thought for a moment and gathered his thoughts.
He relied on the power of the dark side of the Heavenly Book to help Nie Fang cut off the constraints imposed on him by the Neo-Confucian etiquette bit by bit.
It involves not only the soul, but also the flesh and blood.
Finally, one day, Nie Fang could clearly feel that his whole body felt light.
"I...I..." The young Taoist priest felt a little dazed for a moment, as if he was in a dream.
The happiness he dreamed of came too suddenly, even a little too simple, which made him feel unreal.
However, his ambition was far firmer than that of ordinary people, and he quickly calmed down and began to consider whether to stay or go.
Since you have this great opportunity, you should cherish it.
Even if I am not in good health, I am relieved of some of my heart problems.
In this way, he does not have to worry about the human court of the Tang Dynasty, at least it is not his first choice.
So, Taoism?
Nie Fang was familiar with the accent and writing of the Tang people while inquiring about the current situation.
The first thing that disappointed him was that there was no lineage of Taoist Yanshi here in the Tang Dynasty.
The good news is that Taoism in the Tang Dynasty is still prosperous.
It’s just that in recent years, each of the three holy places has suffered some hardships.
The Danding Sect was completely unrelated to his practice. Even if the Chunyang Palace was at its peak, it had nothing to do with him, so Nie Fang didn't consider it.
Among the Fu Lu Sect and the Weapon Refining Sect, I heard that the Shushan Sect of the Weapon Refining Sect has suffered more serious disasters in recent years, while the Fu Lu Sect has become a favorite of heaven and is on the verge of revival. So after some thought, Nie Fang headed to the ancestral court of Longhu Mountain.
Lei Jun saw outside Longhu Mountain, Nie Fang came to pay homage to the mountain.
He did not conceal his origins or orthodoxy, and told everything truthfully.
Chu Kun was the first to receive him. After talking with Nie Fang, he arranged for him to meet Lei Jun, a high-ranking elder.
"Your foundation has been established. If you want to switch to my Fulu Sect, you need to start from scratch." Lei Jun said.
Nie Fang glanced at the bronze mechanism man beside him, and then looked back:
“Replying to the elder, the junior still plans to continue practicing the art of Yanshi.
First, when the younger generation first started, he was determined to pass on this method. This method also gave the younger generation the foundation for settling down and establishing a life in the first place. Otherwise, it would have been impossible for him to escape to the Tang Dynasty.
Of the two, the younger generation is burdened with evil fate, and in the future he is determined to return to heaven and seek justice for himself. If there is a noble sect with a road that reaches the sky, it will naturally be beneficial to this, but after entering the school, it will inevitably cause trouble for the teacher, so he does not dare to expect it.
I just hope that there will be a few opportunities to get guidance from the elders and seniors of Tianshi Mansion. The juniors will do their best and listen to the orders of seniors.
It is an unreasonable request, and I sincerely ask the elders for permission. The younger generation will not forget it. "
Chu Kun glanced at Lei Jun.
What Nie Fang meant was that he wanted to open a sect on his own, even if it was just a small Taoist temple, and then hang it under the name of Fulu Sect.
Longhushan Tianshi Mansion is the ancestral home of the Fulu Sect of Taoism in the Tang Dynasty. The other party is equivalent to visiting the dock.
If Nie Fang can get some more cultivation resources or even some guidance from Taoist scriptures during his practice, he will naturally be even more happy. Of course, he is also willing to obey the orders of the Tianshi Mansion and serve the Tianshi Mansion like his disciples.
However, his roots, at least currently, are not in Datang.
But in the Ming Dynasty, or in other words, in Tianli.
He will definitely go back.
But not because of attachment, but because of dissatisfaction!
“Is your father the person you want to take revenge on?” Lei Jun asked calmly.
Nie Fang knew that although the Tang Dynasty was not as strict in etiquette between monarch, minister, father and son, as in Tianli, filial piety was not a derogatory term, but it was not that extreme.
But he still said frankly: "Yes, at least, I want him to admit with his own mouth that he did something wrong. If he never admits it, then he will not hesitate to fight, but he is not the only one."
Nie Fang’s eyes were firm and his tone was calm: “My enemy is the entire Neo-Confucianism, etiquette, rules and regulations.”
When Chu Kun heard this, he looked at him sideways.
Such an ambition, coming from Nie Fang, will inevitably make people question his tone of voice.
But Chu Kun looked at Nie Fang at this moment, but he didn't mean to laugh at him.
He was a bit self-deprecating:
Compared with other people’s ambitions, I’m just a piece of cake...
"You are very frank." Lei Jun nodded slightly: "In that case, Pindao can't decide with just one word. You need to ask the head of our sect to make a decision, but Pindao is willing to introduce it to you."
Nie Fang bowed deeply: "Thank you, elder."
With this matter in mind, Tang Tianshi said without hesitation: "Okay, let him hang up. One more person will not be too much, and one person less will not be too much. Let me know when he has achieved some success in Yanshi Technique, and I will take a look."
Lei Jun smiled: "When the young senior sister was in the position of Heavenly Master, she added a new line of inheritance and generous training to our Tang Dynasty Taoist sect. Now at first glance, it seems insignificant, but who knows that in the future, the Taoist scriptures will not be written down in detail. A sum of money?"
"Well..." Tang Xiaotang thought about it and couldn't help but smile.
On the other side, Chu Kun looked at his eyes, nose and heart, and lowered his head to look at his toes.
Senior brother, you are so flattering, you are so flattering, you have such a face that you are like a treacherous minister... Chu Kun was heartbroken.
No matter how heartbroken he was, the matter was settled.
Tianshi Mansion prepared a special urn and dish for Nie Fang as a certificate of identity, allowing him to find a suitable place in the south of the Yangtze River to build mountains and build temples.
Lei Jun left it to Elder Chu Kunchu to arrange related matters.
He himself continued to stay in the mansion, assisting Tang Xiaotang, Yuan Mobai, Shangguan Ning and others in handling the affairs of the mansion, while continuing his own practice.
In this way, time passes quietly.
During this period, the Tang Dynasty did not continue to use troops against Nanhuang.
The two great wars between the East and the West, coupled with the sudden change in Longhu Mountain, depleted all forces in the Tang Dynasty.
Even for the Sumeru Vajra Division, Master Jiasheng and Master Renzhu also returned to the Western Regions together.
However, the results they declared to the outside world were brilliant.
Two Buddhist masters in the realm of the ninth heaven joined forces to kill the great demon of the ninth heaven in the Southern Wilderness, the Four-Eyed Python King.
It is said that both of them were injured and returned to the Western Regions to recuperate.
Now that the threats on the east and west sides have been temporarily eliminated, the power of Jiuli in the south has not continued to expand.
So in the Southern Wilderness, the Tang Dynasty supported the Wumen forces to confront the people of Jiuli, and it ushered in a rare time to recuperate.
The four sides are safe for the time being.
On Longhu Mountain, a certain Heavenly Master began to be unable to sit still.
In the first month of the new year for two consecutive years, after presiding over another delivery ceremony and an enshrinement ceremony respectively, Tang Xiaotang officially informed Lei Jun and other elders that she was going to leave the mountain.
In name, just like Xu Yuanzhen, he is looking for Huang Xuanpu and other remnants of the Dao Kingdom in the world.
As for the actual situation, on the one hand, she is very quiet and thoughtful, and on the other hand, it has been nearly twenty years since she took over the position of Heavenly Master.
During this period, she presided over various ceremonies, welcomed people and sent them off, and although she showed her face when congratulating others, she gradually became tired after many times.
In the words of Tang Xiaotang when chatting with Lei Jun in private:
“I am thinking now that when I can kill Huang Xuanpu with the Three Treasures of the Heavenly Master at the same time, my merits will be complete.”
The emphasis falls on the words "carrying the Three Treasures of the Heavenly Master together at the same time".
Tang Xiaotang wasn't too interested in Yuan Mobai and Lei Jun's approach of keeping the matter of the Heavenly Master's robe back to the mountain secret for the time being, but he didn't force it either.
But as a heavenly master, the three treasures were displayed together for once, which obviously became a thought for her.
Lei Jun: "Let nature take its course. If necessary, give your opponent a hard blow. There is no need to hide it."
So when Tang Xiaotang went out to the mountain this time, Lei Jun suggested that she take Tianshi Yin with her directly.
At that time, if necessary, the Celestial Master Sword and Celestial Master Robe can be passed on to her together.
But Tang Xiaotang said that, and when she was asked to choose, she still chose the Tianshi Sword.
"If you really need it, you or my uncle can bring the Celestial Master Seal to join me." Tang Celestial Master waved his hand and went out of the mountain.
Fortunately, it does not affect the daily affairs of the house.
At the end of the Northwest War, Zhang Jingzhen also returned to the mountain to assist Yuan Mobai, Lei Jun and Shangguan Ning in sorting out the affairs of the mansion.
Time flies so fast, another two years have passed in the blink of an eye.
Xu Yuanzhen and Tang Xiaotang have never returned.
There is even little news about the former.
On the other hand, the latter's journey was quite lively, adding a lot of news to the Tang Dynasty where the overall atmosphere was now calming down.
When Lei Jun was about to turn fifty-four, after greeting Yuan Mobai and other disciples, he rarely temporarily stepped down from his responsibilities and concentrated on practicing in seclusion for a period of time.
However, the place where he practices is a bit erratic.
At night on the earth.
Underground during the day.
One day, day and night alternate, early in the morning.
Lei Jun faced the dim light of the morning and did not enter the earth vein today, but stayed on the ground.
He was dressed in purple robes and had a Taoist crown on his head, and his appearance looked the same as usual.
But the Shenting universe originally hidden deep inside the body has changed.
At this moment, Lei Jun's whole person seemed like a small world.
The sky above is the sky, as dark as night, but the stars are shining brightly.
Below is the Jiuyuan, which is as dim as the earth, but the Yuanxi Dao can be seen.
The second floor of the eighth heaven, the middle view of the divine court, was completed today.
