Seeking good fortune and avoiding misfortune starts from Tianshi Mansion.

Chapter 403 402. The Old Members of the Heavenly Palace (Two Chapters in One)

The Confucian chanting tradition, compared with classics and archery, places more emphasis on spiritual practice and the connection between heaven and man.

Although they are not like the Taoist weapon-making sect who eventually shed their bodies, to the Confucian chanting sect, the body is just an ordinary place to store their spirits.

Therefore, when a great scholar recites a poem, he often feels like he is in a state of trance.

Even if the physical body is temporarily destroyed, the soul will still find a way to survive between heaven and earth.

At this moment, Liang Zhuo's body was cut in half by the sudden Guangmo Sword. He was shocked and stunned, and hurriedly flew his soul out of the broken body.

But when the sword was flying and hitting the target, a fierce thunder and fire erupted, which not only devoured Liang Zhuo's body, but also spread to Liang Zhuo's soul, making his soul seem as if it was in a sea of ​​fire.

Liang Zhuo wanted to resist and break free, but in an instant, more sword lights flashed across the dark universe.

This great scholar who inherited a long tradition of practice and chanting died on the spot.

He recovered from his initial surprise.

But what followed were more doubts.

All I saw were the magic sword and the magic image, but I didn't know where the Taoist priest of the talisman school was hiding in this universe.

In addition, Venerable Baima and other monks of the Sumeru Lotus Division did not know where they were at the moment.
Outside of this Taoist Mahayana scene, I wonder what is happening to Salheng and the others now?

Liang Zhuo still has many questions.

But he could no longer think further.

The soul that was torn apart by the flying sword was now completely engulfed by the thunder and fire that followed.

The Lei Jun whom he was thinking about was not in this Mahayana Dao scene at the moment.

Regardless of the people in the Lotus Tribe such as Consort Chu Duo Ming, Master Bai Ma's cultivation level is even higher than Liang Zhuo, so Lei Jun naturally puts more energy on Master Bai Ma.

Compared with Liang Zhuo, Master Baima has even less temper.

Because Lei Jun broke her Yuanming Moon Wheel and Buddhist Dharma Body one after another, and beat her to death.

After dealing with Liang Zhuo and the people from the Xumi Lotus Tribe, Lei Jun dispersed his Mahayana vision, the darkness dissipated, and he saw the real world again.

The war outside has also come to an end.

Salheng, the chief of the Wind Tribe of the Golden Khanate, died on the spot.

He is a cavalry warrior saint who follows the cavalry route and has an incredibly fast speed of advance and retreat.

But he was a brave and strong-willed person and did not choose to escape immediately.

In this way, once you are trapped in Tang Xiaotang's Mahayana Dao scene, it will be difficult to leave.

On the contrary, Li Yuanheng, the chief of the Dihai Tanli clan, was severely injured and beaten to death on the spot by Tang Xiaotang, but...

"This bastard used witchcraft to replace his death and be reborn!" Tang Xiaotang's face showed dissatisfaction at this moment, but his pupils were clear.

Above her head, there is a giant pair of eyes, with a gaze that is equally bright, clear and calm.

"For a great sorcerer who has practiced witchcraft and reached the ninth level of perfection in summoning gods, it is not surprising that he can use such means even if he is injured." Lei Junyan said.

Tang Xiaotang snorted: "No, I'll look for it again!"

Just as she turned to leave, she suddenly remembered something, took off the Heavenly Master Seal from her waist, and returned it to Lei Jun:

"Keep this for now. Let's take them one by one. After I deal with that Jiuli man, I will go find the bastard who wanted to take the Heavenly Master Seal just now."

Lei Jun took the Heavenly Master Seal in one hand and spread out the other hand. Some ancient-style talismans appeared in his hand. They were left behind after he attacked the opponent's Nascent Soul Yang God and defeated him.

The Taoist Danding Sect master had previously tried to collect the Heavenly Master Seal by using his own spiritual magic and these talismans.

"The so-called... Southern Red Emperor?" Lei Jun thought for a moment, "My senior sister mentioned it before."

Tang Xiaotang said in a low voice: "It can't be wrong, it's him!"

When Xu Yuanzhen first entered Penglai, he had dealt with many Taoist masters, and later talked about it with fellow disciples such as Lei Jun and Tang Xiaotang.

Therefore, Lei Jun and Tang Xiaotang both knew that in addition to the Northern Black Emperor Huang Xuanpu and the Western White Emperor Han Qingtao, there was at least the so-called Southern Red Emperor.

Han Qingtao was the former head of the Shushan Sect of the Ming Dynasty and a great master of the Taoist weapon-refining sect at the ninth level of the heavens.

As for the Red Emperor of the South, he was a great master of the Taoist Danding School like Huang Xuanpu, and was a direct descendant of the Chunyang Palace.

However, due to the current divisions among humans, its exact origins are still uncertain.

But we already basically know the other party's Taoist magic skills.

"The soul magic he used to attack you just now should be the Yin Shen Feng." Lei Junyan said: "It comes from the pure Yang mother qi."

This is the secret art of the soul that the Chunyang Palace of the Tang Dynasty does not currently possess.

But its thread can be traced.

The Chunyang Palace of the Tang Dynasty has a top-notch Taoist martial art, named Chunyang Mother Fist, which is one of the foundational martial arts of the Chunyang Palace. It is simple, authentic and full of mysteries.

The source and foundation of many of Chunyang Palace's unique skills are all based here.

The two unique skills derived from this, Yang Pond Yuan Qi and Yin Pond Bao Ding, are the most precious inheritance of the Chunyang Palace.

The Southern Red Emperor is also proficient in the Pure Yang Mother Fist, Yang Pond Yuan Qi, and Yin Pond Treasure Cauldron.

But in addition to this, he also proficient in another method of spiritual and mental cultivation, which he believed was also derived from the Pure Yang Mother Fist.

Its name is Pure Yang Mother Qi, Yin Divine Edge.

The Taoist martial arts Pure Yang Mother Fist formed the Yin pole treasure tripod, which integrates offense and defense, with emphasis on defense.

As for the secret art of the soul, Yin Jiu Divine Edge is a pure attack method, extremely sharp, coming and going without a trace, as if it came out of thin air, directly passing through all the protections of the target, focusing on one point to pierce through the soul, the destructive power is quite terrifying.

It’s a pity that Tang Xiaotang was gifted and realized it early.

She first achieved a Pure Yang Immortal Body and then a Taichu Taoist Body. She often pondered and tempered herself, and her soul was extraordinarily strong. With the protection of the Heavenly Master Seal, the Yin Shenfeng attacks of those who came were in vain.

"He didn't follow me from the Earth Sea. His appearance here means he is already in this world."

Lei Jun speculated: "Although I can't be absolutely sure that his roots are here, but it is very likely."

He turned to look at Zhu Junjie beside him.

Zhu Junjie's eyes were calm: "Are you two Taoist priests talking about the Taoist country in the human world?"

Lei Jun: "It seems that the layman understands the situation."

Zhu Junjie: "To be honest, I know very little, but after listening to your conversation, I can put some things together..."

Tang Xiaotang interrupted him and asked first, "Who is the Danding Sect Nine-Layered Heaven who attacked me?"

Zhu Junjie: "As far as I know, the only great master of the Danding Sect who can achieve such a level of cultivation is Li Hang, the head of the Chunyang Palace."

Chunyang Palace of the Song Dynasty.

"Li Hang, right? I've got that." After Tang Xiaotang said that, he waved to Lei Jun and Zhu Junjie, then his body turned into golden light and rushed away into the distance.

She was also busy tracking down Li Yuanheng, who had died and been reborn.

"Senior Sister Tang of our sect hates evil and is eager to help others. Please forgive me for being a little rude," Lei Jun said.

Zhu Junjie shook his head: "Master, what are you talking about? I should thank the two Taoist masters for their help."

After saying that, he bowed to Lei Jun.

Lei Jun bowed his head in return, "You are too kind, sir. I am just a Taoist disciple who happened to meet you by chance."

After the two sides exchanged greetings, Zhu Junjie's eyes swept over the nine-colored shawl on Lei Jun's body and hesitantly said, "I wonder... is your surname, Lei?"

Lei Jun: "I am Lei Jun from Longhu Mountain, from the Tang Dynasty."

Zhu Junjie's eyes revealed understanding: "It is indeed the Heavenly Master of Longhu Mountain of the Tang Dynasty who is here in person. I am very lucky."

Lei Jun: "Have you heard of my name from the northwest of this world?"

"That's right." Zhu Junjie: "The one just now must be Master Tang of your sect, right? The two of you are well-known in the Song Dynasty."

The northwest of this world is the direction of the Canglang Khanate and the Bailu Khanate.

Although Zhu Junjie and other survivors of the Song Dynasty are in a bad situation recently, they have not been completely cut off from the outside world.

Through some news coming from the north, they heard about the previous experiences of the Lone Eagle Khanate, and then learned some related news about the people in the Tang Dynasty.

Here, the news related to the Tang Dynasty is relatively rough, and a few names are often unavoidable.

Among them, those who ranked at the forefront were the Tang Emperor Zhang Wantong and Lei Jun and Tang Xiaotang from the Longhu Mountain of the Tang Dynasty.

After meeting Lei Jun and Tang Xiaotang, Zhu Junjie had some guesses in his mind.

The Taoist talisman school has more than one Mahayana master, one of whom is a woman with the surname Tang, and the other wears a nine-colored robe like the Heavenly Master of Mount Longhu in ancient books...

The identities of the two are about to be revealed.

When Zhu Junjie heard Lei Jun's self-introduction, he felt that it was indeed the case.

Of course, there are also unexpected things.

The news from the Tang Dynasty that reached here was rather rough and contained many errors.

Although Zhu Junjie had heard of the names of Lei Jun and Lei Jun before, he still felt thrilled when he saw them take action with his own eyes today, even though he was not their enemy. He felt that the previous rumors were not only not exaggerated, but also underestimated these two Taoist masters.

However, Zhu Junjie quickly calmed down.

The news that this world receives from the Tang Dynasty is inevitably delayed.

The letter that Zhu Junjie and others received was not first-hand information.

It is said that a day without seeing you feels like three years.

The Master Lei in front of him and the Master Tang just now, at first glance, are extremely young, talented, and people who can make rapid progress at any time.

The rumors about the Song Dynasty only correspond to their earlier capabilities.

It's no surprise that things have changed now.

Isn’t Zhu Junjie himself the same?
Otherwise, facing the encirclement and hunting by the Golden Khanate, he would have found it difficult to survive until now.

"The Li Hang that the layman just mentioned..." After Lei Jun talked with Zhu Junjie for a few words, he asked about the previous matter again.

Zhu Junjie: "I have also heard of the name of the Human Dao Kingdom, but it was not well-known before and was hidden in the dark. It was not until a few years ago that their existence was made public.

The leader among them is called the Southern Red Emperor, and his identity and whereabouts remain a mystery. If Master Lei Tianshi confirms that the attacker just now is the Southern Red Emperor, then Zhu believes that he is Li Hang.

The soul secret technique Yin Shen Feng is the direct descendant of the Pure Yang Palace, and currently only Li Hang has such a high level of cultivation."

Lei Jun nodded slightly.

The accumulated time and past history of the Ming Dynasty is now a full 2,400 years longer than that of the Tang Dynasty.

The gap between the human world here is not that exaggerated at the moment, but it is still more than a thousand years older than that of the Tang Dynasty.

In this case, it would be possible for the Chunyang Palace of the Song Dynasty to innovate on the basis of the original Taoist collection and create new magical powers.

Therefore, on the basis of the Pure Yang Mother Fist, there are the Pure Yang Mother Qi and Yin Shen Feng.

After listening to Zhu Junjie's story, Lei Jun got a better understanding of this world.

Chunyang Palace was originally the first holy place of Taoism in the Song Dynasty. It experienced a major split in the early years. A considerable number of descendants left Chunyang Palace and established a new holy place of Taoist Danding Sect called Sanchun Palace.

Afterwards, Chunyang Palace remained within the territory of the Song Dynasty.

Sanchun Palace goes all the way west.

In the end, Sanchun Palace marched westward together with the Lone Eagle Khanate, one of the four ethnic khanates.

Eventually, he suffered a great disaster along with the Lone Eagle Khanate.

Today, there are still descendants of the Sanchun Palace in this westernmost part of the human world, but it is difficult for them to become a major force.

The Chunyang Palace of the Song Dynasty was not having a good time either, and it almost declined along with the Song Dynasty. In recent years, the Golden Khanate finally conquered the Song Dynasty, and although the Chunyang Palace did not perish along with it, it was rumored that some of the disciples in the palace, led by the head of the palace, Li Hang, went out to sea and hid overseas.

Others, like Liang Zhuo and others, joined the Golden Khanate.

Just because of the existence of the Sumeru Lotus Department, the situation of these Taoist descendants of Chunyang Palace can hardly be said to be very good. Instead, they are closer to Confucianists such as Liang Zhuo, and the two sides stick together for warmth.

As for the current head of Chunyang Palace, Li Hang, although he has fled overseas, he has not defected to foreign races after all. Therefore, to the survivors of the Song Dynasty, he is still a great Taoist master.

"It turns out that he had other ideas." Zhu Junjie shook his head: "No, it should be that he had this idea a long time ago."

Li Hang, or the emperor of the Song Dynasty, might have originally intended to fish in troubled waters and gain the advantage while the snipe and the clam fight.

But the strength of the Golden Khanate exceeded his expectations and the expectations of many people in the Song Dynasty.

However, Li Hang still did not completely give up hope.

"With the Golden Khanate, the White Deer Khanate, and the Gray Wolf Khanate in front of them, is the situation already tense?" Lei Jun asked.

He had just dealt with Master Baima, Liang Zhuo and others. Although he did not interrogate them, he obtained some correspondence.

Some of the information caught Lei Jun's attention.

Zhu Junjie nodded: "The latest news from the north is indeed true. There are many masters from the Golden Khanate who have already gone north, including Zongjia, the leader of the Xumi Lotus Division."

Previously, dealing with the remnants of the Song Dynasty was mainly the job of Liang Zhuo and others.

If the purpose was not to capture Zhu Junjie, a great scholar at the ninth level of the Heavenly Balance World realm, the Golden Khanate would not have mobilized the three great masters, Saleheng, Baima Shangren, and Liang Zhuo, to come together.

As a result, an accident happened in the lightless land. Li Yuanheng opened up the passage between the sea of ​​earth and this human world, and Tang Xiaotang and Lei Jun followed one after another.

Li Yuanheng himself still has a chance to be reborn and move on.

However, Master Baima and Salheng hit a solid wall.

As for the Southern Red Emperor Li Hang, the outbreak of war between the three Khanates would naturally be a great thing for him and the Song Dynasty Human Kingdom.

But exposing one's whereabouts to Lei Jun and Tang Xiaotang is another matter.

The renewed war between the three Khanates also brought opportunities for Zhu Junjie and other survivors of the Song Dynasty.

But Zhu Junjie is not blindly optimistic.

“Although top masters such as Zongjia, the leader of the Lotus Tribe, went north and west, and Canglang Khan and Bailu Khan came east in person, but…”

Zhu Junjie looked solemn: “Golden Khan, there has been no movement.”

When talking about this foreign race's top expert, Zhu Junjie's expression was a little complicated: "In the battle back then, we were unable to injure him severely. On the contrary, trampling on our country's rivers and mountains may... may have made him gain a lot."

The Golden Khan is the most powerful alien warrior in this world, surpassing the Lone Eagle Khan Harigel.

Or it should be said that he is the best master in this world.

The Song Dynasty collapsed, and even the mountains and rivers on earth were torn apart. It was truly a collapse of heaven and earth... Lei Jun seemed to be thinking about something.

He asked Zhu Junjie: "So, this alien martial arts immortal is currently silent. Is he in meditation, trying to reach a higher level of cultivation?"

A realm of cultivation above the ninth level of martial arts.

Zhu Junjie's expression was extremely solemn: "I'm not sure, but..."

Is it because of a premonition that Canglang Khan and Bailu Khan are now so serious about leading their armies and actively joining forces to target the Golden Khanate?

Although the three ethnic khanates have the same origin, they are now completely three separate entities.

If the Golden Khan goes one step further, the Canglang Khan and the Bailu Khan will not feel proud of it, but will only feel an unprecedented threat.

If the Lone Eagle Khan Hariger were still alive, he would probably have a similar reaction when hearing the news.

In most cases, knowing that the Golden Khan might go further, the first reaction of a person like Harigel would not be to surrender directly.

Instead, we try to nip it in the bud whenever possible.

Even if they regret it in the future, they will probably regret that they acted too late and should not have allowed the Golden Khan to win victory after victory and eventually achieve the current situation.

By conquering the mountains and rivers of the Song Dynasty, the Golden Khan's harvest was so rich that it exceeded the expectations of the other three Khanates.

To some extent, Canglang Khan and Bailu Khan are currently trying to make up for their losses.

I just don't know if they can still make it in time?

"Excuse me for being so presumptuous..." Lei Jun and Zhu Junjie asked, "How many people are there like Liang Zhuo?"

Zhu Junjie looked solemn. After a brief silence, he finally began to answer:
"The number is not small. Although the Golden Khan's methods are cruel and brutal, he has abolished the traditional custom of dividing the population into different classes in the conquered lands."

Lei Jun looked calm and unperturbed: "Equal brutality."

Zhu Junjie: "The enemy is powerful, and although I am not talented, I will still fight for the country and the people."

Lei Jun: "My cultivation as a lay Buddhist is different from Confucian classics... and Neo-Confucianism. It's not like I practice the two schools of archery and chanting, right?"

Zhu Junjie smiled and said, "What I study is still Confucian classics, but compared with the classics, history, and miscellaneous works, I and some literary predecessors focus more on the methods of governing the country and benefiting the people."

Lei Jun: "Oh?"

Zhu Junjie: "In today's world, there are too many people who are engaged in empty talk. Although they can cultivate themselves, it is difficult for them to govern the country. At most, they can only govern their own country and the world.

Fortunately, there is an old saying from the wise: when success is achieved, it is virtue, and when things are done well, it is reason.

As scholars, we should focus on practical achievements and less on empty talk, so as to benefit our country and the nation."

Lei Jun didn't comment much after hearing this, but asked curiously, "How do you practice on a daily basis?"

Zhu Junjie: "If there is no evidence in practice, the words are not appropriate; if there is no test of tools, the doctrine is not changed. If we apply knowledge to the world, we should pursue both righteousness and profit. Why should a gentleman be ashamed to talk about profit?"

Lei Jun: "Given the current situation in this world, it must be even more difficult for you to practice."

Zhu Junjie said with emotion: "If one's actions are not in line with the great principles, no matter how high they are, it is useless; if one has aspirations but does not worry about the world, no matter how kind they are, it is useless. I often ask myself, and I dare not talk about reversing the situation lightly. I just want to be consistent in everything and have a clear conscience."

He is so.

Others may not.

Lei Jun declined to comment on this.

Zhu Junjie bowed to Lei Jun and said, "Today, many masters of the Golden Khanate were killed by Master Lei Tianshi and Master Tang. For us, this is an unexpected surprise. Our situation has improved greatly. I am very grateful."

A large number of masters from the Golden Khanate and the Sumeru Lotus Tribe headed to the northwest to fight against the Canglang and Bailu.

The number of people left in the Central Plains is inevitably limited.

If they succeed in getting rid of Zhu Junjie, then the territory of the Song Dynasty will be safe for a short period of time.

As a result, Saleheng, Liang Zhuo and others died. The change was huge between the positive and negative.

Now it is the Golden Khanate's turn to be left with a lack of power in the former Song territory.

Of course, as long as the world's number one master, Huang Jinhan, is still here, the country will not be easily destroyed again.

Zhu Junjie didn't expect that he could defeat the opponent.

But if it can interrupt or slow down the opponent's progress, it will be a success.

Moreover, to put it another way, Zhu Junjie is a great scholar of the Ninth Heaven who has pacified the world. Without opponents of sufficient quantity and quality, the destructive power of his attacks on all sides and the war of public security will be outrageous...

"Take care, sir." Lei Jun returned the greeting.

Zhu Junjie took out an empty envelope and handed it to Lei Jun with both hands: "If the Heavenly Master needs help here, you can write to Zhu.

I hope that one day the world will be at peace, and I will have the opportunity to go to the other side of the world and visit the Heavenly Master at Mount Longhu."

"You are too polite, sir." Lei Jun took the empty envelope which contained the artistic conception of seeing the person in person, said goodbye to Zhu Junjie, and watched him leave.

The young scholar is still injured, but the upcoming period of time is precious, so it depends on him how to choose.

Lei Junze first returned to Dihai with the Heavenly Master Seal.

Although Tang Xiaotang was in an unfamiliar place when pursuing Li Yuanheng, it should not be a problem during the war between the three major khanates of different ethnic groups.

Lei Jun will also leave the void portal leading to the human world from the sea of ​​earth unsealed for the time being.

As for Li Yuanheng himself, although he was seriously injured, Lei Jun still had some doubts about the Jiuli of Dihai, so he returned to Dihai to verify it first.

........................

One of the Nine Heavens, Penglai.

Although there was chaos before, after a few years of recuperation, this place has regained its fairyland appearance.

A middle-aged Taoist priest dressed in the traditional clothing of Chunyang Palace sat cross-legged silently beside a fairy pond, breathing in and out silently, and nourishing his Yuanying Yang Shen with his own body.

As a high-level Danding sect master who has reached the fourth level of the Nine Heavens and has achieved the state of Four Qis in Harmony, Li Hang's Nascent Soul Yang Spirit is extremely strong.

Cultivate the energy of the pure soul and develop a soul of tranquility, which can resist the threats of thoughts and intentions.

The already strong physique and Nascent Soul can further enhance the ability to resist the enemy's attacks and damage through spiritual and secret techniques.

But the nine-section green bamboo staff that was flashing purple and gold light just now was really strange.

Even with Li Hang's ability, he was still beaten dizzy.

He had no doubt that if he did not have the blessing of the Pure Soul Qi and the Silent Soul, his Nascent Soul Yang Spirit would have been injured by that blow just now.

In addition to Xu Yuanzhen, there is more than one master in the Tianshi Mansion of Longhu Mountain in the Tang Dynasty. No wonder Huang Xuanpu failed there.

It’s a pity that I missed the rare opportunity to collect the Heavenly Master Seal. I’m afraid it will be even harder to find another opportunity next time.

As for the Wanfa Sect Altar in the Tang Dynasty, there is no need to mention it further.

Time waits for no one... Li Hang finished his rest, opened his eyes and gazed into the distance.

After a while, a clear light appeared in front of him and automatically took the shape of a talisman.

Li Hang frowned slightly after reading the talisman, but his brows soon relaxed. He took the talisman, stood up and left.

He came to a fairy mountain.

There was already someone at the top of the mountain.

She was a woman wearing cloth clothes and linen shoes.

It was none other than Han Qingtao, the former leader of the Shushan Sect of the Ming Dynasty and now the Western White Emperor of the Human World.

Without Mu Chunyang, she finally escaped the pursuers and retreated back to Penglai.

But her legacy in the Ming Dynasty had already fallen apart.

Li Hang had no intention of laughing at the other party.

Just now in the Song Dynasty, he was seeking wealth and honor in a dangerous way, and it was not without risks.

Although the people escaped safely, if Lei Jun and Tang Xiaotang could talk to Zhu Junjie, they would probably be able to match Li Hang with the Southern Red Emperor of the Human World.

His foundation in the Song Dynasty will also be affected.

Li Hang was mentally prepared for this before he took action, so he was calm at the moment.

"Friend Li." Han Qingtao nodded slightly.

Li Hang greeted him and said, "Do you need any help, fellow Daoist?"

"It's rare to see Fellow Daoist Han propose a Five-Party Alliance."

Han Qingtao: "I'm sorry to bother you, Fellow Daoist Li, this is a matter of great importance."

Li Hang's eyes fell on the other person's face.

Han Qingtao: "There seems to be something unusual happening in Biluo."

Li Hang asked slowly, "Are you a former member of the Heavenly Palace?"
