Seeking good fortune and avoiding misfortune starts from Tianshi Mansion.

Chapter 422. The Great Han Family (Two Chapters in One)

"Mr. Dongyang!"

Fang Junmei, Fang Xiwu and other big Han monks stepped forward together and saluted Wang Xu, who was the incarnation of Lei Jun.

Fang Yue also dressed straight and bowed first: "I am Fang Yue, a junior student. I have heard of Mr. Dongyang's great name for a long time. It is a great honor to meet you today."

"Wang Xu" stood at the bow of the boat, without stopping, but nodded to Fang Yue, Fang Junmei and others, saying: "The flood is still there, don't be careless."

Fang Junmei said at this time: "Your Majesty has ordered that Mr. Dongyang be invited to Chang'an to say goodbye."

"Later."

"Wang Xu" glanced at Fang Junmei and said, "You come with me."

Fang Junmei quickly responded, "Yes, sir."

He said to Fang Yue and Fang Xiwu beside him, "Thank you for your hard work here."

Fang Yue: "As Mr. Dongyang said, there is still a flood here that needs to be quelled, and I am willing to lend a hand."

After Fang Xiwu looked at Fang Junmei deeply, no matter what he was thinking, he could only watch Fang Junmei leave.

Fang Junmei hurriedly waded into the water and boarded the boat, which turned and floated downstream.

"Wang Xu" stood at the bow of the boat wearing a straw raincoat and with his hands behind his back, and asked calmly, "Disciple of the Fang family?"

Fang Junmei: "I am Fang Junmei, sir, you can just call me Chixing."

"Wang Xu" did not comment: "How is your Majesty now?"

Fang Junmei answered carefully: "Your Majesty is well, but he often thinks about how lonely his old friend is now. A few days ago, he heard that you had returned from your travels, and your Majesty was very happy."

"Wang Xu" said: "The Han Dynasty has changed a lot over the years."

Fang Junmei: "Sir, you are right. Today, the times are full of changes, and the changes are indeed overwhelming. Fortunately, Sir, you have returned from your travels, and our Han Dynasty finally has a new pillar. If Sir had not passed by today, the great monster, the Tortoise King of Flame Island, would have wreaked havoc on the shores of Poyang Lake..."

"Wang Xu" interrupted Fang Junmei calmly and said, "This demon turtle was able to sneak through the Jiangnan water veins silently and reach the north side of Poyang Lake. It needed help from others."

When Fang Junmei saw that the Turtle King of Flame Island was taken in by Mr. Dongyang's family, country and the world, she began to guess the final outcome.

Logically speaking, although the family, country and the world of the great Confucian scholars can also create an independent world of heaven and earth, it is not so closed.

It would be fine if Mr. Dongyang himself was in charge of the country and the world.

But when he was outside his country and the world, and placed a ninth-level heaven monster like the Flame Island Turtle King among them, wouldn't he have caused a big uproar long ago?

Even if the Turtle King of Flame Island is seriously injured and cannot rush out, he should be able to cause quite a bit of noise.

Such a strong ability to confine and seal is somewhat similar to the Mahayana Daojing of the Taoist talisman masters.

However, if the master of the talisman sect presides over the Mahayana Dao scene, I must be there, and I will not be in the current appearance of Mr. Dongyang.

The other party has mastered the three schools of Confucianism and has achieved the state of pacifying the world. His strength is indeed beyond the expectations of ordinary people.

While Fang Jun was amazed, he was also trying to figure out what "Wang Xu" was saying:

"As you said, the great monster entered the mountains and rivers of our Great Han Dynasty and was able to avoid being detected by the dragon energy of the mountains and rivers. I guess someone must have covered it up, and... it must be someone from our Great Han Dynasty, not some unorthodox sect in the Southern Wilderness."

“Wang Xu” looked at the broad river ahead and said, “It was someone from the Wu Sect who took action.”

He did not kill the Turtle King of Flame Island immediately because he wanted to verify the matter.

When Fang Junmei heard what "Wang Xu" said, her heart skipped a beat.

Looking at the back of the man in the straw raincoat, he was in a dilemma.

The moment before, she was still admiring the other party's cultivation strength, but at this moment, Fang Junmei began to complain in her heart.

"Wang Xu" did not continue speaking.

After a brief silence, Fang Junmei finally said softly, "Teacher, you have a keen eye, and I dare not hide anything from you."

He took out a brocade bag he carried with him, opened it, and poured out a piece of jade that looked like a bone:

"This treasure was given to me by an old acquaintance of mine. It is undoubtedly a thing from the witch sect, but I am definitely not someone who can secretly communicate with a great demon. Please judge for yourself, sir."

"Wang Xu" finally turned around and glanced at Fang Junmei.

Fang Junmei looked calm as she presented the witch bone jade stone.

"Wang Xu" did not accept it, but said calmly: "Take care of yourself."

"Yes, sir." Fang Junmei breathed a sigh of relief.

Mr. Dongyang in front of him was lost in deep thought.

Although they all come from the Kongsang Witch Sect, they are not from the same school... Lei Jun thought.

The witch bone jade stone in Fang Junmei's possession is similar to the clue that Tang Xiaotang sent back from the foreign Khanate, and should be from the so-called Kongsangdidu lineage.

The witch clan's methods of helping the Turtle King of Flame Island belong to another branch.

Is this the legendary Kongsang Tianjing?
In Lei Jun's Mahayana vision, the Turtle King of Flame Island had been tortured to death by the Vast Sea Sword and the Guangmo Sword.

When the great demon entered the Xuanhuang Universe, he immediately realized that this was the Mahayana world of Taoist practitioners rather than the country and world of Confucian practitioners.

As for the surging sword energy before, it was obtained by Lei Jun by activating the Hanhai Sword and the Guangmo Sword.

These two magical weapons are originally Confucian ritual swords.

It was specially improved by Lei Jun at the beginning to facilitate the use of the Yuanci Flying Sword.

But the foundations are still there. Now Lei Jun has Haoran Xuangui to support them, so he can let them return to the Confucian way.

At least from the outside, it looks similar, just like the mighty sword energy of a great scholar of Confucian classics.

The specific truth can only be known by entering that "home, country and the world".

Just like the Turtle King of Flame Island now.

Unfortunately, it is no longer possible to spread this secret.

As for the arrow that hit it, in the great monster's cognition, it really seemed like an attack by a great archer.

But this discovery made it even more confused.

The other party inherits both Taoist talismans and Confucian archery, and has such high attainments in both?

"For now, I can only imitate Bai Shi, and I have to jump over the Kaijiang Arrow Realm." Lei Jun himself shook his head slightly.

It is true that the Rising Sun Bow is the precious bow of Wang Xu, a native of Dongyang Mountain.

But the source of the light arrow just now was not from the Rising Sun Bow, but from between Lei Jun's eyebrows.

After circulating through the Haoran Xuangui, the Yin-Yang Shenxiao Aurora looked like an arrow shot by a top archer.

The Confucian master of the ninth heaven of divine archery is also known as the realm of pacifying the world.

Compared with the Confucian classics that pacify the world with the Five Classics and the Confucian chanting that pacify the world with the Five Transformations, the realm of the Confucian archery that pacifies the world is called the Five Archery.

They correspond to Baishi, Canlian, Yanzhu, Xiangchi and Jingyi respectively.

Among them, the magic achieved by the first level of the Ninth Heaven is called White Arrow, which has extremely strong attack power and extremely fast speed, and can almost directly break through the void.

If the opponent is not alert in advance to the long-accumulated white arrows fired by the great archer, it is almost impossible for opponents of the same level except for the Martial Saint to dodge them.

If the arrow has already left the bow, even a great master of the Taoist weapon-refining school in the Ninth Heaven would have difficulty dodging it even if he were to travel through the sea of ​​​​immortals. At least one would have to cultivate the vast earth energy to have a chance.

During the battle of Datong, Fang Xing of the Datong Fang tribe once attacked Tang Xiaotang with a cold arrow, but Tang Xiaotang was able to detect it in advance and avoid it with the help of the Tianxin Dongming magic scroll.

Lei Jun used the Yin-Yang Divine Sky Aurora to imitate it, which was just right.

On the contrary, when the Eight Heavens Divine Archer had completed the opening of the four realms, his arrows determined the four boundaries, and when the arrows went out of the boundaries, they had the effect of limiting and blocking the opponent's actions, making it inconvenient for Lei Jun to imitate.

Although such arrows are far inferior to white arrows in terms of shooting speed and power, Lei Jun is currently unable to perform the four Yin-Yang Divine Sky Aurora Evolution Opening Arrow Realm Arrows.

Therefore, the second level of the Ninth Heaven realm named Canlian was so magical that he could not imitate it.

That is equivalent to forming multiple arrow realms with continuous arrows, which strengthens the restriction on the opponent while bursting out powerful damage at the same time.

On the contrary, Lei Jun can imitate the Yanzhu of the third level of the Nine Heavens and the Xiangchi of the fourth level of the Nine Heavens.

The former is a quick-shot arrow, an arrow of thought, which arrives as soon as one thinks of it. One can shoot a powerful arrow without a precious bow. If combined with special archery techniques that can injure the soul, one can directly kill the opponent's soul.

The original meaning of the latter is that when a minister and his king shoot, the minister should give way to the king and step back one foot when standing side by side. However, for the great archer of the fourth level of the Ninth Heaven, it is manifested as body movement. He can move one foot and let the opponent's attack pass without thinking, and at the same time immediately return an arrow, being the first to arrive after firing the last arrow.

Within this one foot, the great archer responded to the attack and his speed was comparable to that of a martial saint at the same level.

To some extent, its greatest function is to guard against close-range assassinations by the Martial Saint.

For Lei Jun, this is very simple.

Therefore, he was very grateful to Mr. Dongyang for his natural talent and his practice of the three strands of Confucianism.

If the other party is just a great scholar of Confucian classics, then many of Master Lei Tianshi’s methods will be inconvenient to use.

It may seem like a piecemeal arrangement now, but Lei Jun has already considered the combination and matching of his own knowledge and practice, and now putting it together again is another kind of pleasure for him.

Of course, to completely integrate into his “family, country and the world” is another matter.

For example, the Turtle King of Flame Island is quite tough and keeps his mouth shut.

But Lei Jun still got some useful clues through it.

This involves a name I've heard of, Long Feng.

A great witch related to the previous Tan Muwei.

So it seems that they are from the Kongsang Tianjing lineage?
As expected, they were not in the Southern Wilderness, but were active for a long time within the territory of the Han Dynasty.

Although Fang Junmei was on the same boat, there was an obvious gap in their realm and strength. Even if Lei Jun openly communicated with others through the Heaven-Seeing and Earth-Earthing Talisman, he could still deceive the other party's eyes and ears.

"Tianjing, Didu, sounds interesting."

Lei Jun heard the voice of senior sister Xu Yuanzhen: "There are also matters concerning Taiqing Duren Cave Heaven and Kunlun. We will go and have a look later."

"It feels like the Kongsang Witch Clan is going to make a big move, or rather, it has already done so before but was stopped halfway because of Mr. Dongyang, and only started again in recent years." Lei Junyan said.

It’s a pity that Wang Xu, a hermit from Dongyang, died young because of this, and he kept his mouth shut because of the curse.

"What about you?" Xu Yuanzhen asked casually, "Are you going to make a big move over there?"

She naturally knew Lei Jun's attitude towards noble families.

"Take another look."

Lei Jun also answered truthfully: "First of all, I intuitively feel that someone is happy to see this happen and wants to kill someone with a borrowed knife, but I don't want to follow their wishes.

Secondly, some of the Han noble families seem to be experiencing some changes, and I want to observe them."

Xu Yuanzhen said indifferently: "Okay, whatever you want."

While Lei Jun was talking with Xu Yuanzhen, the Yuqing Zhoutian Dharma Mirror was also observing the surroundings.

Soon, some people came into his sight.

A member of the Wang family of Langya.

When they learned that Mr. Dongyang had appeared in Poyang Lake and then left, some of them rushed to Poyang Lake, while others rushed to the lower reaches of the river, hoping to try their luck. Lei Jun went downstream this time, following the natural flow, without any special hurry.

Therefore, Wang Jian and others from the Wang family of Langya were able to meet him at a beach downstream.

"...There!" Wang looked at the river and said, "It's Uncle Six!"

Wang Jian and others looked and saw a small boat coming down the river.

The scene looks relaxed and carefree without any worldly air.

But beneath that small boat, the river was roaring and surging.

The great rivers in the Han world are just as great as those in the Tang world. They are both natural barriers that are difficult for ordinary people to cross. Even practitioners of middle or low levels who fall into them will be drowned and torn apart by the river water that is filled with a large amount of turbulent spiritual energy.

But at this moment, the seemingly frail boat, sailing on the roaring river, appears exceptionally harmonious and peaceful.

Wang Xu, a hermit from Dongyang, who was transformed by Lei Jun, stood at the bow of the boat wearing a straw raincoat.

When he saw Wang Jian, Wang Buzhi and other members of the Wang family, he did not look excited but nodded calmly in greeting.

Seeing that "Wang Xu"'s boat did not stop, Wang Jian could not help but sigh inwardly. As his majestic spirit floated, he also floated up and came to the side of the boat, floating downstream with the boat.

A Wang with the same cultivation level as him soon caught up. The rest of the Wang family members did not dare to wade into the water. They followed along the river bank while hurriedly reporting to their ancestral land.

"Sixth brother, how are you?" Wang Jianyan said.

Wang Xu looked at Wang Jian and Wang Bu Ji who were walking in the air on the river, and said calmly: "It's been a long time, Third Brother, let's get on the boat and talk while we walk."

Wang Jian thanked him and quickly took Wang Rusuo on board the boat.

"Wang Xu" looked at Wang Buji.

Wang Jian introduced: "This is the second son of my fourth brother, named Wang Huji, and the seventh among his peers."

Wang soon stepped forward and greeted him: "Sixth Uncle."

Wang Jian's eyes fell on Fang Junmei at this time, and he wondered why this girl could win Wang Xu's favor and be on the same boat with him.

This Fang family member did not have a very good reputation in the circle of famous Han families.

Even if the Fang family of Jingxiang in the Han Dynasty wanted to make many moves, Fang Junmei had the worst reputation.

He was not the only son of an aristocratic family who served the imperial court, but he was the only one who was branded as a favored and treacherous minister.

Such a person seemed to be viewed differently by "Wang Xu", and the signals he sent out made Wang Jian guess endlessly.

Fang Junmei greeted Wang Jian and Wang Gouji with her usual expression.

He did not feel relieved that Mr. Dongyang looked at him differently, but was also feeling uneasy.

"This is Sixth Brother's house, and I have kept it for you all these years. There is someone special responsible for cleaning and taking care of it." Wang Jian said softly.

"Wang Xu" said in a normal tone: "That's thoughtful."

Wang Jian paused for a moment and continued, "Over the years, my elder brother and I have been trying to contact you, but there has been no news, so everyone in the family is quite worried."

"Wang Xu" said calmly: "I'm recovering from my injuries."

Wang Jian, Wang Buzhi and Fang Junmei were all shocked when they heard this.

"I am not fully recovered yet, but the time has finally come for me to come out. If that's the case, I'll just come out."

Wang Xu looked around the country and said, "The world has changed a lot. Even Longhu Mountain is gone."

Seeing that he did not mention the whole story, nor did he say when he would return to the ancestral land of the Wang family in Langya, Wang Jian sighed in his heart, but did not dare to ask more questions. He could only follow the other party's conversation and roughly describe the various changes that have taken place in the Han people in recent years.

"Did Dakong Temple attack Jianye?"

Wang Xu asked casually.

Wang Jian nodded: "The Li family is struggling to hold on, fortunately Mr. Chaoshan from Qingzhou is there, supporting Jianye from falling."

The Suzhou Chu clan, one of the five surnames and seven families in the Han Dynasty, has been expelled from the list for many years.

Today, the powerful tyrants in the Suyang area are the Suzhou Li family, which has emerged recently, just like the Langya Wang family.

Dakong Temple moved northwards and approached Jianye, which also threatened the Li family of Suzhou.

Jue Xiang was one of the most powerful warriors in the Han Dynasty. In order to resist him, Ye Zhao, the leader of the Ye clan in Qingzhou, Han Dynasty, went south in person.

Mr. Chaoshan mentioned by Wang Jian is Ye Zhao's nickname.

This was a time when the famous Han families were working closely with the Han imperial family. Ye Zhao personally went out to resist the abbot of Dakong Temple, Jue Xiang, and he put in a lot of effort.

"Wang Xu" nodded slightly when he heard this, and then changed the subject: "What do you think about the affairs of the Tang Dynasty and Datong?"

Fang Junmei glanced at Wang Jian and Wang Buzhi.

He had heard about some recent internal debates within the Wang family of Langya.

Wang Jian also glanced at Fang Junmei and Wang Buzhi, then said:
“The people who came had bad intentions. Although it was rumored that the Five Hopes of Datong had intended to help the Ye, Lin, Fang, and Chu clans in the Tang Dynasty, it did not happen after all.

Under such circumstances, the Tang Dynasty still attacked Datong, causing the people to be corrupted. It can be seen that they were not fighting for the Tang Dynasty for a short time.

Although the Tang Dynasty court and the Daoist sect did not act recklessly in the Han territory, I still think we should not be careless because of this."

"Wang Xu" did not comment and looked at Wang Buzhi.

Wang Buji, under Wang Jian's gaze, said calmly, "Uncle San is right. I have the same guess, but..."

He paused for a moment and continued, "My nephew believes that the Tang Dynasty court and the people of the Tang Dao Sect are not fighting for the land of Datong or the territory of the Han Dynasty, but... targeting the family tradition of our Confucian classics.

By the way, there should also be a lineage of inheritance from the Longhu Mountain of the Han Dynasty. Although the two sacred places of the talisman sects have the same origin, the origins of their Taoism are now very different. "

"Wang Xu" asked calmly, "How does Wang deal with it?"

Wang Jian seemed to want to say something but hesitated, and finally remained silent.

Upon seeing this, Fang Junmei thought that the rumors were true. Mr. Dongyang and the clan were not as close as the Wang family of Langya claimed. Normally, Mr. Dongyang didn't care when the Wang family took advantage of the situation, but when it came to such a major event that concerned the fate of the entire clan, he couldn't fool around.

and……

Fang Junmei took a deep breath.

Mr. Dongyang doesn't seem to mind the Tang Dynasty's targeting of famous families.

Looking back on the various rumors about Mr. Dongyang, thinking about them now in comparison, it is not so surprising.

However, in this case, they really need to carefully consider what the Wang family of Langya will do next.

For the Han imperial family, this is also a huge variable that needs to be seriously considered... Fang Junmei thought.

But Wang Not Long answered calmly, "Before I came here, I wanted to visit Fang Jijiu from the Tang Dynasty and ask him for advice. It would be best if I could have a chance to visit the Tang Dynasty. Before that, I really can't answer Uncle Six's question."

Upon hearing this, "Wang Xu" turned his head to look at Wang Buzhi, and then his gaze fell on Wang Jian.

Fang Junmei said softly at the side: "I have been to Datong before, and recently entertained Fang Jijiu and talked with him a little.

In addition to the Han Dynasty and the Tang Dynasty, there is more than one human world in this world, all of which originated from the great catastrophe more than 4,000 years ago, which led to the divergence of history.

Due to the diversion, the passage of time is different, and the history is long and short. In comparison, the Han people in our country are relatively late in history.

There is more than one human world, where the passage of time is more than a thousand years longer than ours, and in those human worlds..."

He let out a long breath: "The Five Surnames and Seven Families, the noble families, have all been lost in the long river of history."

Wang Jian continued to remain silent.

As one of the core senior executives of the Wang family of Langya, he was not completely unaware of the relevant matters.

Wang soon bowed to Fang Junmei and said, "Thank you, Brother Chixing, for your guidance."

Fang Junmei: "I dare not."

Although she had already made her own decision, Fang Junmei, who was born in the Jingxiang Fang Clan of the Han Dynasty, was also saddened when she mentioned this:

"According to the Great Tang's Fang Jijiu, the Five Surnames and Seven Families over there also knew more or less about the fate of other famous families in the human world before the fateful battle of Luoyang. However, the tide of the times is rolling forward, and it is not easy to make heroic efforts to cut off one's own arm when in the midst of it."

Wang Jian shook his head slightly.

If it was just a heroic act of cutting off one's own arm, that would be easy enough, but the only thing I'm afraid of is that even cutting off half of one's body might not be enough...

"Brother Chixing is right." Wang nodded slightly.

Although he and Fang Junmei were not close friends, they shared similar views at this time.

Fang Junmei was not wrong. There were indeed some disputes within the Wang family of Langya regarding the future direction of the Wang family.

He Wang was soon one of the controversial figures.

The influx of spiritual energy in the Han world intensified, which was beneficial to the practice of cultivators. However, it was also increasingly difficult for the noble families to suppress the emergence and rise of geniuses among the common people.

It's just that now, because of the invasion of Dakong Temple and the four great monsters, the attention of both inside and outside the Han Dynasty has been attracted, which makes this matter seem less conspicuous, but there are already undercurrents surging inside.

Change means success, while no change means death.

However, the fact that this matter was brought up by Wang not long ago caused even more controversy.

He is the most outstanding figure among the younger generation of the Wang family of Langya.

Just like Fang Yue, Chu Yu and others in the Tang Dynasty.

The transformation of the Wang family of Langya from a large family to a small one had little impact on him personally.

But for the relatively mediocre children in the clan, it could be a huge change like the collapse of heaven and earth.

However, not to mention that there are people in the Tang Dynasty who are eyeing them covetously, isn't it the same even among the Han people?
Meeting this legendary uncle today has completely strengthened Wang Jiu's belief.

The Wang family of Langya must undergo some changes.

Whether this will be in time is still unknown.

As for the specific details, Wang is still planning to make a decision after having the opportunity to visit Datang and other places for on-site inspection.

But some things can already begin.

For example, his cousin Wang Jianan who is familiar with him.

Wang Jianan needs to carefully consider between the Shushan School's top disciples and the Wang family's disciples...

"Wang Xu" listened quietly to the conversation between Fang Junmei, Wang Buzhi and others without interrupting.

Wang Jian saw this and sighed inwardly again.

His father, elder brother, other elders, including Wang Jian himself, the last hope was gone.

Although, it was expected.

If not for this, the eldest brother would not have specifically asked him to bring the king along on this trip.

But there are many other people in the tribe who have different ideas.

As for the entire Wang family, Wang Jian could not be optimistic about what the future would be like, and he felt even more sad.
