Seeking good fortune and avoiding misfortune starts from Tianshi Mansion.

Chapter 426 425. Master Tang finally has a disciple (two chapters in one)

After chatting with Queen Zhang Wantong, Lei Jun immediately sent a message to Gu Song Renjian to inform Junior Sister Tang Xiaotang about the current situation of the people in the fairyland.

Tang Xiaotang was curious about Huang Jinhan's current situation.

However, she is currently in a situation where she has the will but not the strength.

Strictly speaking, it was Elder Zheng Chen of Chunyang Palace in the Song Dynasty who was willing but unable to do so.

Although Tang Xiaotang is very powerful, she is currently living in the ancient Song Dynasty under the guise of Elder Zheng of Chunyang Palace, which inevitably affects her ability to exert her strength.

Therefore, the forces of the Song Dynasty remnants who restored their country, in which she participated, were not as strong as the Canglang Khanate and the Bailu Khanate, which had the same origin as the Golden Khanate.

Now that Zhu Junjie and other survivors of the Song Dynasty have been reminded by Elder Zheng of the possibility of the Golden Khan attacking the fairyland, everyone is acting more cautiously.

At present, the activities of the remnants of the Song Dynasty are mainly concentrated in the Jiangdong area in the lower reaches of the Yangtze River, and there is no large-scale migration to the north.

But the situation of the Golden Khanate was still not good.

The Golden Khan himself never showed up, and their major supporter, the Sumeru Padmasambhava Sect, and its leader, Guru Zongjia, were also nowhere to be seen.

The Canglang Khanate and the Bailu Khanate joined forces to attack, and the personal appearances of Canglang Khan Zhuoligtu and Bailu Khan Huhedalai were enough to put the situation of the Golden Khanate in jeopardy.

Their territory in the north kept shrinking.

To date, according to intelligence obtained by the Song Dynasty, the two great Khanates of Canglang and Bailu have already invaded the capital of the Golden Khanate.

"But the Golden Khanate is still quite resilient. On the one hand, they have the help of the thieves from Xumi, and on the other hand, they have also absorbed some people from the former Song Dynasty."

Tang Xiaotang talked with Lei Jun through the Sky-Seeing and Earth-Listening Talisman: "In addition, I heard that when they came out of the Great Wilderness, it seemed that something fell into the hands of the Golden Khanate.

It is used to protect their current capital. It is not strong enough to repel the enemy but it is very strong in defense. If there is no internal chaos and they can hold on, they can probably hold on for a long time. "

Lei Jun: "I heard that the Golden Khan is also a human immortal who has reached the peak of martial sainthood? Although he doesn't value the people's hearts and national destiny as much as the Middle-earth Dynasty, it is also important to control the people's hearts. If the Golden Khanate only defends Dadu and loses all other places, it will not be conducive to his impact on the immortal realm."

Therefore, various news sent back by people in the Song Dynasty indicated that while Canglang Khan and Bailu Khan were approaching the capital of the Golden Khanate, they had other masters under their command, one leaving Guanzhong and the other leaving the Central Plains, and were accelerating their sweep across the north.

Tang Xiaotang: "Who cares? Let's take over the area south of the river first, and then consider moving north."

Master Tang is currently having a great time among the ancient Song people.

Lei Jun had previously given her advice on the issue of Chunyang Palace in the Song Dynasty.

After all, he was not a descendant of the Chunyang Palace, the holy land of the Danding Sect, so it was a bit inappropriate for him to become the head of the Chunyang Palace lineage of the Song Dynasty.

So Elder Zheng Chen made a loud call, saying that the top priority for the people of the Song Dynasty at the moment was to drive out the Tartars and recover the lost territory.

Only those who accomplish this great thing can wipe out the bad influence caused by Li Hang and others, restore the reputation of Chunyang Palace in the Song Dynasty, and revive the holy land. It is only natural for him to take over the management of Chunyang Palace afterwards.

Mr. Zheng is already old, and he only hopes to see the revival of Chunyang in his remaining years, then everything will be satisfactory.

However, firstly, a snake cannot survive without a head, and secondly, the Chunyang Palace of the Song Dynasty has not yet recovered its vitality, so Elder Zheng is in charge temporarily.

At best... he's an acting leader.

"As for the future, if it really comes true, the Chunyang Palace of the Great Song Dynasty will have a successor. Little Senior Sister, you can just run away. Can they force you to stay?"

Lei Junyan said: "It doesn't matter whether Elder Zheng dies of old age, dies together with a powerful enemy, or travels far away alone. It's all up to you."

"Of course I'd rather travel alone. There's no need to die." Tang Xiaotang grumbled at first, then said with great satisfaction: "Acting as the head of the sect... is not bad. I'll have fun first."

She had fun imitating Lei Jun and putting on a vest, but she was also troubled:

"Those remnants of the Song Dynasty are starting to become more thoughtful."

Lei Jun: "It's not surprising, they are about to take over Jiangnan."

Tang Xiaotang snorted, "More than one descendant of the Song Dynasty has been pushed to the front and started to fight for legitimacy. If Zhu Junjie and a few others were not sober, who knows what would happen."

Lei Jun: "It would be great if someone is sober. The situation in Jiangbei is currently chaotic, but it is not necessarily optimistic, especially if the leader of the Xumi Lotus Sect, Zongjia, has really come out of Guixu."

Tang Xiaotang perked up: "The news should be true."

Lei Jun: "Where were the Treasure Department Master and Karma Department Master you went to look for him before?"

Tang Xiaotang: "There is no news about this. I don't know whether he is hiding or returning to Xumi. I am considering going to take a look."

Lei Jun: "Senior sister, please be careful."

"Oh, right, I almost forgot." Tang Xiaotang suddenly remembered something and said proudly, "Although I didn't find Li Yuanheng and the people in Kongsang, my luck here is not really bad."

Lei Jun: "How?"

Tang Xiaotang cleared his throat and said solemnly: "Lei Jun, I met a very interesting girl."

"Oh? Junior Sister, do you mean that you have finally found someone who is compatible with you and has the potential to inherit your legacy?" Lei Jun was slightly surprised: "Congratulations."

Tang Xiaotang looked a little reserved: "Well, it is indeed rare. It can be considered as a bit of fate. However, whether she can officially become my disciple or not, it depends on what happens next."

Lei Jun thought for a moment and said, "Wait a minute, Little Senior Sister, when you formed a bond with her, were you in your true self, or in your identity as Elder Zheng of the Chunyang Palace of the Great Song Dynasty?"

"cough……"

Tang Xiaotang coughed twice and said, "Well, when we first met, she looked like Elder Zheng, but when I talked to her later, I saw my true appearance.

But I didn’t steal girls from the Chunyang Palace of the Song Dynasty. After talking to her, I am sure that she is more suitable for our Fulu Sect than the Danding Sect…”

In the second half of the sentence, she seemed a little lacking in confidence.

However, based on Lei Jun's understanding of her, it is not that the child is more suitable for practicing in the Danding Sect. It is more likely that she will be like him, Xu Yuanzhen, and Tang Xiaotang, and will be able to achieve remarkable accomplishments no matter which path she chooses.

Sure enough, Tang Xiaotang's next sentence was full of confidence: "I am even more sure that this child is a genius!"

Lei Jun: "To be regarded as a genius by you, Junior Sister, must be truly extraordinary.

Baobao is currently helping Third Junior Brother and Senior Brother Lin to continue tidying up Penglai, so he doesn't have to run back and forth.

After Senior Sister Zhang Jingzhen has mastered the Yang Lei Long, she will represent our sect to go to Guizang. Please ask her or Junior Brother Hua Yan to go to the Earth Sea and take your future disciple back to Longhu Mountain."

"Okay." Tang Xiaotang responded casually: "After picking her up, I'll go to the Guixu gate to take a look."

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

At this moment in the ancient Song Dynasty, the gate to Guixu has been closed again.

Bhandara, the lord of the Sumeru family, and Jatira, the lord of the Karma family, are also no longer here.

They returned to Xumi as soon as possible.

"This time we were able to leave Guixu safely, thanks to the Venerable. My senior brother Jadila and I must return to Xumi as soon as possible to report to the Venerable and stabilize Xumi again." Before leaving, Vandatta bowed to Zongjia, the leader of the Padmasambhava sect.

Zongjia returned the greeting: "Because of my fault, the Venerable and Sumeru were implicated. This is really a great sin."

The head of the Karma tribe, Jatila, spoke up: "It has come to this, there is no need to regret. The Venerable has issued a decree that the human world of the Great Song Dynasty is currently at a critical juncture. Brother, just stay and focus on the management. As for Xumi, we will go back and wait for the Venerable's orders. If the human world is stable, Xumi will also be stable."

Zongjia bowed to the west and said: "Disciple will follow the Venerable's command."

Then he thanked Vandatta, the lord of the Ratna family, and Jātila, the lord of the Karma family.

After the two men opposite returned the greeting, they headed westward towards the mountain gate of the Vajra Temple in this human world and returned to Mount Sumeru.

Although they knew that the Sumeru Lotus Tribe was an important arm of the Golden Khanate, the Canglang Khanate and the Bailu Khanate had always marched eastward and did not target the Vajra Temple of the Great Song Dynasty.

After hearing some news about the unrest in Xumi, they would not easily approach the Xumi gate in this human world.

Even though Zongjia had a strong spiritual cultivation, he felt as if he was in a different world when he was back in the human world.

However, the emotion in his heart was fleeting, and his mind regained its composure. He walked barefoot on the ground, and in a blink of an eye he crossed the vast rivers and mountains.

Soon, a beautiful barefoot woman wearing a monk's robe and a veil appeared in front of Zong Jiaming.

"Master." Dawa, one of the eight consorts of the Padma family along with Yangjin and Chuduo, bowed respectfully to Zongga.

Zongjia nodded at her and said, "I already know the situation in Dadu. We will go there now and join Hasen and the others."

Master Hasen was a nobleman of the Golden Khanate. After the Sumeru Lotus Tribe came to manage this world, he converted to Buddhism and joined the Lotus Tribe to practice Buddhism.

This person was not converted, but had extraordinary talent in Buddhism since childhood. He was accepted as a disciple by Zongjia and went to Mount Sumeru to practice.

Before Zongjia disappeared, the situation of the Golden Khanate was critical. Master Hasen led the remaining masters of the Sumeru Lotus Tribe to help the Golden Khanate hold on, and they are all in Dadu now.

Zongjia walked in front, followed closely by Dawa Mingfei.

She said softly, "With the return of the master, there is no need to worry about anything. However, it is very difficult to recover the other lost territories of the Golden Khanate. In addition to the Canglang and Bailu, the remnants of the Southern Song Dynasty have also become powerful..."

Zongjia: "It doesn't matter. Everything is different now."

Dawa Mingfei suddenly realized: "Golden Khan... "

Zongjia then asked, "What is the situation in the Earth Sea and the Underworld?"

Consort Dawa: “The Earth Sea Gate still exists, but the people of Jiuli and monks of the Great Tang Dynasty have not been seen for a long time.

The portal to the underworld disappeared without a trace, and no monks from Mount Shu have appeared in the world in recent years.

Rumor has it that the Kongsang Witch Sect made a brief appearance, but after that, there was no trace of the Kongsang Sect. "

Zongjia nodded slightly, as if thinking about something.

Consort Dawa hesitated slightly, seeming to be hesitant to speak.

Zongjia: "What's the matter?"

“Master, my Sumeru Lotus Tribe has suffered heavy losses. The previous Master Baima and others, plus the future assistance to the Golden Khanate…” Dawa Mingfei said softly.

Zongjia: "Well, the only solution now is to look for opportunities to convert capable people into my paradise."

Dawa Mingfei: "Yes, Master."

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

Under the order of Heavenly Master Lei Jun, Zhang Jingzhen came out of retreat and represented the Heavenly Master's Mansion to go to Guizang, while keeping in touch with the Tang Dynasty monks in the Earth Sea.

Following the orders of Lei Jun and Zhang Jingzhen, Zhang Jingzhen's disciple Zhang Xiongyan went to the ancient Song Dynasty world via the sea of ​​earth.

After Zhuo Baojie, Qin Caiwei and Xu Rui, he and Xin Beiyuan are the most anticipated new batch of young disciples in Tianshi Mansion.

Both of them are calm and capable. In addition to their daily practice, they are well-respected among their peers in the mansion.

Zhang Xiongyan had a special background, but he didn't worry much about it. He just practiced Taoism in Longhu Mountain.

His cultivation level gradually increased, but he had no intention of returning to Weinan Palace.

Zhang Jingzhen valued his calm state of mind, and Lei Jun and other seniors also praised him. However, Zhang Xiongyan, who was young and experienced, was not as calm as before when he led the people who had made a connection with his fellow master uncle Tang back to the Tang Dynasty and returned to the mountain gate's ancestral home.

When returning to the mountain, after a buffer of time on the road, Zhang Xiongyan's expression had returned to normal.

But Lei Jun could still feel the other person's initial ups and downs in emotions.

Zhang Xiongyan was neither averse nor hostile to newcomers who might become his junior sisters.

But... strictly speaking, you shouldn't address the other person as a human being.

Other people from the mansion who met along the way also saluted the little girl.

Well, it has brown-red hair, a short stature, a furry round face, and walks upright like a human, but it has a long, thick furry tail behind it, with nine black rings in total on the tail hair.

According to past customs, "people" like this who have formed a bond and entered Taoism can be taken back to the mountain and sent directly to the Taoist Children's Court. It is not necessary for each of them to be reviewed by the Heavenly Master Lei Jun.

But Zhang Xiongyan took the situation into consideration as it was a special one and the head master uncle might not have known about the situation in advance, so he deliberately asked Lei Jun to come back to the mountain with him.

"In compliance with the order from the head master, I am here to bring Miss Cheng... who is related to Master Tang back to the mountain." Zhang Xiongyan looked calm as he saluted and reported to Lei Jun in a serious manner.

...How big of a deal?
That is to say, in recent years, as Senior Brother Zhuo Baojie's cultivation level has improved, he has been away from the mountain more often and seen less often, so he was a little uncomfortable for a while.

Isn't Senior Brother Zhuo the disciple of the head master? As long as you think about Senior Brother Zhuo, it's actually not a big deal, it's very normal... Zhang Xiongyan has already calmed down.

The little girl behind him was calmer and saluted to Lei Jun like a human. Although her voice was a little childish, she spoke human language and her words were polite:
"Cheng Rongrong, the spirit of the Tao, comes to see the Heavenly Master."

"..." Lei Jun was rarely speechless for a moment.

What appeared in front of him was a red panda that looked like a human standing up.

Or should it be called red panda, nine-section wolf?
Junior sister, you are really worthy of being called that... No, I don’t think I have the right to complain about you in this regard.

Okay, I have to admit...it's pretty cute.

Lei Jun had a calm expression, and nodded to Zhang Xiongyan and the red panda that stood upright: "No need to be polite."

He first told Zhang Xiongyan, "Junior Brother Hua Yan, please go down and rest first, and then you can meet up with your master later."

Zhang Xiongyan bowed and said, "It's fine for me. If you don't have any other instructions, I will go back to Tibet now."

Lei Jun nodded: "Be careful on the road."

After the other party left, he looked at the little guy who looked like a human being and was wearing a cloth robe: "Before you met Senior Sister Tang, you could already speak human language?"

With Lei Jun's cultivation and eyesight, he could confirm with a rough glance that, as Tang Xiaotang said, this... well, this little girl, really deserves the title of genius.

His intelligence was not opened by Tang Xiaotang. Instead, he should have been quite intelligent and had a solid foundation before meeting Tang Xiaotang. It was just that he had not yet truly started on the path of cultivation.

But as long as she gets the true teachings and a little guidance, she will surely make rapid progress.

"I became a psychic at an early age and was adopted by my parents. They named me Rongrong, taking my father's surname Cheng. Unfortunately, my parents are old and have passed away one after another."

The little fellow spoke in a measured tone: "Afterwards, I met Master Tang by chance. Master Tang valued me and sent me back to the mountain to learn Taoism. I am willing to convert to Taoism. I hope that Master Tian will grant my permission."

Well, this one is much more precocious than the one in my family.

Look at the logic of his speech, and then look at his calmness and composure.

Hugs, hugs, even at such an old age, you still fight wits and courage with your master for a bamboo all day long... Lei Jun thought in his heart.

"I believe Junior Brother Hua Yan has introduced some relevant matters to you on his way back?" Lei Jun asked.

Cheng Rongrong's round face was full of humane calmness and composure, and she answered seriously:

"Master Zhang has already introduced me to this junior. I... do not wish to transform into a human form. I beg the Heavenly Master to grant me permission."

Lei Jun said calmly: "It's okay, as long as you are willing to do it, but our sect's Sutra of Saving People is not for a single spirit beast to transform. If you practice it seriously, it will be of better help to you in your future journey."

Cheng Rongrong bowed to Lei Jun and said, "Yes, I will keep in mind the teachings of the Heavenly Master."

Lei Jun nodded: "Well, go to the Taoist Temple at the foot of the mountain to report."

The little panda also changed into a specially made gray Taoist robe, and then entered the Taoist Children's Hall, where he shook his head and recited Taoist scriptures with other Taoist children.

Just like Zhang Xiongyan before, everyone was a little stunned at first.

But with the previous precedent of Zhuo Baojie, the teaching in the academy quickly returned to normal.

After Yuan Mobai knew this, he couldn't help but laugh.

The master and disciple could not help but stare at each other for a long while.

Wang Guiyuan looked normal, but soon turned his head to the side, making it impossible to see his next expression.

Lei Jun looked quite calm: "She is indeed an excellent embryo. No wonder Junior Sister calls her a genius. As for her initiation, this little girl is still better than a hug."

Yuan Mobai's usual warm smile appeared on his face, and he nodded repeatedly: "You have a good character, and you should live up to such a smart foundation in the future."

Lei Jun: “Yes, yes.”

As he spoke, he looked at Wang Guiyuan standing beside him and said, "Big Brother, have you never met a disciple that you like?"

Wang Guiyuan turned his face back and smiled with a little emotion: "I have...been there before, but as you said, this kind of thing, just go with the flow."

Seeing this, Lei Jun raised his eyebrows slightly, then turned to look at Yuan Mobai, and saw his master smiling and nodding.

Seeing this, Lei Jun nodded and didn't ask any more questions.

In Longhu Mountain’s own residence, the disturbance caused by Cheng Rongrong was not serious and was quickly settled.

However, in the outside world of the Tang Dynasty, many people felt both amused and helpless when they received the news later.

The lineage of the Tianshi Mansion in Longhu Mountain of the Tang Dynasty is now truly powerful.

But these representative figures are also real... personalities.

Compared with Lei Jun, Tang Xiaotang and Yuan Mobai, Xu Yuanzhen, who never accepts disciples, even seems normal.

"The two most recent Heavenly Masters were truly the ones who believed in doing nothing and teaching everyone." Zhang Hui, who was about to leave Beijing again, said with a smile.

Chu Yu, who was practicing for him, seemed to be thinking about something.

After a moment, she suddenly asked, "Will there be a non-human celestial master in the future?"

Zhang Hui was slightly startled when he heard this, then he came to his senses and smiled:
"It's not a bad thing. Even though there is no precedent, there are so many things that have happened without precedent throughout history."

On the side, Queen Zhang Wantong turned her back to the two of them and fished quietly, as if nothing had happened.

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

The world of the Tang Dynasty is now at peace.

A new spirit beast that cannot transform into human form has entered the Tianshi Temple in Longhu Mountain to learn Taoism, which has become the biggest gossip recently.

In contrast, the current war between the Song people has entered a white-hot stage.

From north to south, from Guanlong in the west to the desert in the north, from Qi and Lu in the east to the two lakes and Jiangdong in the south, there were battles everywhere.

Zongjia, the leader of the Sumeru Padmasambhava clan, arrived in the capital of the Golden Khanate.

With his support, Dadu, which had begun to shake, suddenly regained its stability.

The hearts of the masters of the Canglang Khanate and the Bailu Khanate were shrouded in a gloom.

Up to this point they were unable to force out the Golden Khan.

And with Zongjia's return, hope will undoubtedly become even slimmer.

Although they were reluctant to admit it, at this point, even if they gained more than the majority, they would have already failed if they could not achieve the ultimate strategic goal.

"When the Primordial Golden Tent fell into their hands, it determined the outcome of today's battle!"

Gray Wolf Khan Zhuoligetu looked at the Golden Khanate's capital in the distance, and finally sighed, and ordered the general Morigen beside him: "Inform Huhedalai and the others, I'm afraid we need to retreat, it may be too late."

Morigen did not leave immediately, but whispered: "If Anqinfu can really take that last step... Khan, where can we retreat to?"

Canglang Khan Zhuoligetu's tone remained calm and steady: "It all depends on whether the news from the ancient Song territory in the south is accurate."

Mo Rigen was silent, then nodded: "I hope it is true as they say, that people in the fairyland cannot stay in the human world for long now."

He bowed to Zhuoligtu and left to deliver the message to the Bailu Khanate.

If both sides want to retreat, they should act separately and cannot retreat to the same place.

Even though they were unwilling, the people of the White Deer Khanate still made the same decision as the Canglang Khanate.

However, when the two Khanates lifted the siege of Dadu and retreated separately, a terrifying tiger roar that shook the earth suddenly sounded from the direction of Dadu in the rear, tearing through the sky.

"It's Anchinfu's Arata!" someone exclaimed.

Anqinfu, in foreign languages, means hunter.

This is the name of the Golden Khan.

In comparison, it seems a bit ordinary.

But it is the name of Golden Khan, the most powerful fighter among the four great Khanates in the ancient Song Dynasty.

Golden Khan Angqinfu, like the other three Khans, is a cavalry warrior.

The strange beast under his mount is a fierce tiger of a species equivalent to a ninth-level human. Its name is Arata, which means gold in the alien language.

Both Morigen and the people of the Bailu Khanate are very familiar with the demon tiger Alata.

But at this moment, the other party's roar was obviously different from usual.

Much more ferocious, violent and powerful than usual!
In addition to the improvement of Arata's own strength, another possibility is...

Golden Khan Angqinfu has made some progress.

The other party had already reached the peak of Martial Saint status and reached the level of a human immortal.

So what now?
In most directions, warriors rarely release their fiery energy and blood, which soars into the sky.

The powerful and tyrannical will that governs all living beings in heaven and earth and makes all things and spirits submit to him seemed to solidify into substance at this moment, overlooking all directions.

The leader of the Sumeru Lotus Sect, Zongjia, and the second best fighter of the Golden Khanate, Haritana, led the masters including Hasen to salute together, "Welcome to the Khan!"

Later, the remnants of the Song Dynasty who were fighting in Jiangnan received the latest news:
The Golden Khan Angqinfu reappeared in the world. Since the Khan Huhedalai, the White Deer Khanate, the casualties were incalculable.
