MTL - Seeking Good Fortune and Avoiding Misfortune Starts From Tianshi Mansion

Chapter 5 5. Seek good fortune and avoid misfortune again

Lei Jun looked at Wang Guiyuan: "Taoist Master..."

Wang Guiyuan said with a smile: "Junior Brother Lei, there is no need to be so polite, just call me your senior brother.

With your temperament and talent, even if you don’t participate in next year’s transmission ceremony, you will definitely be able to participate in the next one and go up the mountain to this mansion.

 Speaking of which, I was practicing in the Dao Tongyuan and also in the Sixth Branch. "

 “In this way…” Lei Jun replied: “Please take care of me from Senior Brother Wang in the future.”

Wang Guiyuan handed the letter to Lei Jun and said at the same time: "I will come back to Daotong Sixth Academy often to see if you have any difficulties in life or practice. I will try to help solve them."

Lei Jun thanked Wang Guiyuan first, and then read the letter left by Elder Yuan.

The general meaning is that Elder Yuan has already had a preliminary understanding. Although Lei Jun's current talent is mediocre, he has more advantages. Not to mention Xu Yuanzhen's thoughts, he alone is willing to form a master-disciple relationship with Lei Jun.

However, it was Xu Yuanzhen and his idea to introduce Lei Jun to his family, but they didn’t know Lei Jun’s own intention?

It’s not that Xu Yuanzhen doesn’t want to introduce Lei Jun to her master Tianshi, but that Tianshi is a severe retreat patient compared to Elder Yuan. It has been ten years since the last retreat.

It is not certain when the Heavenly Master will come out of seclusion. Let alone the transmission ceremony next year, it is still unknown whether he will come out of seclusion before the next transmission.

 So Xu Yuanzhen introduced Lei Jun to Elder Yuan instead.

However, as the saying goes, water flows to low places and people go to high places. No matter who you are, as long as you enter the Tianshi Mansion, if there is a glimmer of hope to become a direct disciple of the Tianshi Master, who would want to just be a disciple of the Tianshi Master's younger brother?

Since Xu Yuanzhen, who introduced Lei Jun to Taoism, did not accept disciples, it was up to Lei Jun to make his own decision as to who he wanted to be his teacher.

Maybe Lei Jun is willing to wait for the Heavenly Master to come out of seclusion...

 After reading the letter, the first thought in Lei Jun’s mind was:

 According to normal human behavior, you have said this, how can others continue to say that they want to worship the Heavenly Master as their teacher? Even if you are pretending, you must immediately bow your head and bow to me. I beg you, the old man, to accept me as a disciple.

but…

Lei Jun looked at the handwriting on the letter and pondered slightly, but did not answer immediately.

 Reading the words in the letter, it seemed as if a pair of gentle eyes were looking at him, full of encouragement.

 Lei Jun, who has been in this world for a short time, dares to say that this is not an illusion.

 The writings of master practitioners contain emotions and are all-encompassing.

Lei Jun put down the letter and looked up at Wang Guiyuan in front of him.

Wang Guiyuan smiled: "Master and I also talked about Junior Brother Lei before he left.

He once said: How difficult is it to practice Taoism? Only by facing the true meaning in your heart can you move on firmly. "

Lei Jun: "It makes me laugh, senior brother, I am actually at a loss now and have no idea at all."

Wang Guiyuan glanced at Lei Jun.

 No matter how he looked at it, the tall young man in front of him was a person with strong opinions of his own.

But Wang Guiyuan didn’t say much, he just smiled and shook his head:

“Junior Brother Lei was joking. Master once said, you don’t have to make a decision in a hurry. Maybe the Heavenly Master will leave seclusion before you join the mission? You might as well talk about it then.

On weekdays, as long as he is not in retreat on the mountain, if you have any questions during practice, you can ask him except asking the Taotong Academy for guidance.

Master is not on the mountain right now, so you can come to me. I may not be as knowledgeable as Master, but I will try my best to help you answer the question. "

 Lei Jun: “Thank you in advance, elders and senior brothers.”

 The light ball in his mind is not moving at the moment, nor does it pop out a sign that indicates his destiny.

It seems to indicate that Elder Yuan and Wang Guiyuan were sincere in their words and would not disadvantage Lei Jun just because he wanted to climb the high branches of Tianshi.

Perhaps Elder Yuan didn’t actually want to accept him as his disciple, but it was just because of Xu Yuanzhen’s face.

Or, the time has not yet come, and we have to wait until the day of preaching is approaching?

 In the following time, Lei Jun asked Wang Guiyuan for advice when he had questions, and the other party really gave him careful guidance.

Rather than being distracted by the teachings of other Taoist boys, Wang Guiyuan basically gave him one-on-one tutoring lessons. With a good teacher and the essence of purple gold Ganoderma lucidum to supply his vitality, Lei Jun's cultivation level continued to improve rapidly, he cultivated the eighth sea of ​​​​qi, and successfully broke through to the eighth level of qi refining.

 As time goes by, and it has been nearly a year since he started, Lei Jun has gradually passed the initial stage where everything he saw was new.

 The repeated homework and practice every day gradually began to make people feel a little boring.

 But after the period of psychological dryness slowly passed, Lei Jun began to truly capture and experience some of the Tao Yun, peace and leisure.

　Until one day, this leisurely feeling was suddenly broken.

 “The Taotongyuan was stolen!”

 When the news came, Lei Jun and others had just finished their evening classes.

 The courtyard soon became chaotic.

 “What’s the situation? What’s the situation? Who is who?”

“I heard that someone from the Second Branch stole something from the First Branch. We have identified who it is and are arresting him now.”

 “Have you caught anyone?”

“Not yet, he said he ran into the forest.”

Soon an instructor came to gather everyone and officially announced: "Tonight everyone will have one more experience, cooperate to search the mountain, prepare quickly, and set off as soon as possible!"

Although the incident also alarmed the Tianshi Mansion on the mountain, in the end it was Taotongyuan who was mainly responsible for handling it.

Many Taoist boys from several major branches took action, divided into multiple teams and went into the mountains, set up traps and cast nets, as if hunting, and rounded them up.

Lei Jun's team, led by two true disciples of Tianshi Mansion and 20 Taoist boys, guarded key positions in the Beishan area, monitored the surrounding area, and searched from a distance.

One of the young Taoist priests was only fourteen or five years old, similar to most Taoist boys.

However, Lei Jun, a 19-year-old Taoist boy who has only been a disciple for one year, and other junior Taoist boys have to listen to each other's orders and be directed by the other party.

It would be better if you don’t encounter similar incidents. If you do, the gap between Taoist priests and Taoist boys is particularly obvious. You still need to improve your cultivation as soon as possible and participate in the transmission...Lei Junxindao.

 Search and interception have been fruitless.

 The two true disciples of Tianshi Mansion who led the team had differences of opinion.

The young Taoist priest waved his hand: "Standing here is not an option. Let's go northeast or northwest to encircle and search!"

 Another young Taoist priest said: "Junior brother, our duty is to guard this area and not to leave our post without authorization."

Young Taoist priest: "Just divide the troops into two groups. Each of you and I will lead a small team. One team will continue to hold the position, and the other team will search the side!"

Lei Jun and other Taoist boys were waiting quietly nearby.

 Just a sudden light flashed in Lei Jun's mind.

 The ball of light, which had been silent for a while, now had text appearing:

　　【Chasing the thief, there is another secret, we must act separately, life or death depends on fate. 】

Then three sticks flew out of the light ball, each with fortune written on them:

　　　【Win the lottery, take part in the initiative to pursue the pursuit, move forward all the way, without causing other problems, get the sixth grade opportunity together, good luck. 】

　　　【Win the lottery, stay where you are, do not fight or move, wait for the storm to subside, gain nothing, lose nothing, peace. 】

　　【Place a sign, take part in an active pursuit, change the target midway, and be trapped in a killing situation, and you will die without any chance of survival, it is a serious disaster! 】
