Seeking good fortune and avoiding misfortune starts from Tianshi Mansion.

Chapter 445 444. After the War, a Million Pounds of Gold (Two Chapters in One)

"What does the Emperor of Han think?" Lei Jun asked calmly.

Chen Xiao: "His Majesty the Emperor of Han has survived a catastrophe and has seen through many things. Now the country is in turmoil and the Han Dynasty is in danger. His Majesty the Emperor of Han hopes to maintain stability and prevent the chaos from getting worse."

Lei Jun had previously dealt with Han Emperor Xiang Chengyuan when he was incarnated as Wang Xu, a hermit from Dongyang.

Listening to Chen Xiao's words again at this moment, I can roughly understand what he is thinking.

Like the Crown Prince Xiang Jing of Han, Emperor Xiang Chengyuan of Han will also become the history of this world.

He has no intention of returning to the throne.

To the current Han imperial family, he, like Xiang Jing, would only drag down the reputation and prestige of the imperial family.

This is why this area has experienced four Han dynasties in human history, making the Han Dynasty deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

If it had been any other dynasty or any other royal family, they would have come up with a conspiracy like the one between Xiang Chengyuan and Xiang Jing, father and son, and would have probably lost the support of the people and led to the change of China.

It would have been fine if one of the father and son had done something wrong, but it turns out that both of them are double-faced and joined forces to do something big. This really makes people doubt the situation of other members of the imperial family.

Even if Xiang Chengyuan had the support of Kongsangdi, it would be difficult for him to continue to hold on to the throne.

As long as he lives, the reputation of the Han imperial family will continue to bleed.

Not only should he abdicate and let others take over, it would be best if he never showed up again.

Today, the Han Dynasty maintains a rather fragile balance.

Xiang Chengyuan had no intention of breaking it.

Moreover, both he and Kong Sandi had heard about it.

Neither the imperial court of the Tang Dynasty nor the Tianshi Mansion of Mount Longhu of the Tang Dynasty had any intention of making further progress among the Han people today.

The attitude of Lei Jun, the Heavenly Master of the Tang Dynasty, towards the future situation of the Han Dynasty is also basically clear.

Xiang Chengyuan chose to take a step back at this time, which was in line with the ideas and expectations of various groups of people.

But from then on there was no more Han Emperor Xiang Chengyuan, only the great wizard Xiang Chengyuan.

Xiang Chengyuan asked himself, if he was in his early years and at the peak of his power, and was aiming to dominate the world, he might not be willing to step down.

But after that, because the Witch King Kongsang suffered a great loss once and had to linger on for many years, he suffered a second great loss and came back from the gates of hell several times, which caused Xiang Chengyuan's mentality to change.

He is no longer as ambitious and vigorous as before.

At this moment, he could accept the idea of ​​stepping down and becoming an elder of the Wu Clan in Kongsang.

Of course, this is also in light of the current situation.

Although Xiang Chengyuan was seriously injured, if he can get through this disaster safely and recuperate peacefully, Kongsang City will have another great master who may not be inferior to Ke Lang.

In this way, although other forces are still wary and vigilant, it will not be difficult for the Kongsang Didu lineage to gain a foothold among the Han people today.

Of course, it’s still the same problem.

When it comes to related matters, we must at least consider the attitudes of both parties first.

The Tianshi Mansion of Longhu Mountain in the Tang Dynasty.

And the Sumeru Buddhist Gate.

Although the latter has been quite low-key in recent years, the fact that an alien martial immortal emerged from Mount Xumi is enough to make no one ignore their existence.

But in comparison, the Tianshi Mansion in Longhu Mountain of the Tang Dynasty still has a stronger presence.

After all, they had just defeated the Han Longhu Mountain where the fairyland master Zhou Tiandao was stationed.

Even now, no matter Chen Xiao, Xiang Chengyuan, Ke Lang or other masters of Kongsang Land, they are all dazzled by this.

After all, they have always faced the threat posed by the Witch King Kongsang.

The more you deal directly with the masters of the fairyland, the more you can feel the huge gap between them.

However, the Tianshi Mansion of the Tang Dynasty has filled this gap to a certain extent.

"It is naturally a good thing that His Majesty the Emperor of Han is concerned about the people."

Lei Junping said calmly: "I have also heard of the great names of His Majesty the Emperor of Han and Sect Leader Ke for a long time. They are always welcome to visit Longhu Mountain."

Chen Xiao saluted and changed his address to Han Emperor Xiang Chengyuan: "The Heavenly Master invited us, and both the Holy Lord and Elder Xiang are very happy to do so."

Later, Ke Lang, the holy leader of the Kongsangdidu lineage, secretly arrived at Longhu Mountain for a visit.

He carried with him a seemingly inconspicuous clay jar.

The soul of Xiang Chengyuan, the former Emperor of Han and now the elder of Kongsangdi City, is temporarily placed there.

At present, Xiang Chengyuan's condition is still very weak.

He was not the protagonist this time. He just visited Lei Jun to express courtesy and after understanding Lei Jun's basic attitude, Xiang Chengyuan could feel at ease.

His soul returned to the pottery jar to rest in peace.

As for the rest of the matters, it was mainly about the conversation between the Holy Lord of Kongsang Land, Ke Lang, and Lei Jun.

Although this great wizard who has reached the perfect realm of the Ninth Heaven has rarely been involved in the world, he is truly one of the top masters in Kongsang, and is often mentioned together with Peng Youshan and Yun Qingyan.

However, Ke Lang looked to be only about thirty years old, with an elegant face and temperament, and was dressed in Chinese Han clothing. Judging from his appearance alone, he looked more like a great scholar than a great wizard.

The main purpose of his visit was to ascertain the attitudes of Lei Jun and Datang Longhu Mountain.

Of course, he also expressed his own and Kongsangdi's attitudes.

They will not stay in the territory of the Han Dynasty, but will go to the northern border.

The remaining forces of Kongsang Tianjing were blocked by the void portal and could not return to Kongsang, so they are now retreating to the northern border.

After Ke Lang comes to Longhu Mountain to meet Lei Jun, he will immediately return north and lead the Kongsang troops to continue targeting Kongsang Tianjin.

The void portal leading from the Tang world to the present Han world was opened by people from Kongsang Tianjing. In order to directly let the Longhu Mountain of the Tang Dynasty and the Longhu Mountain of the Han Dynasty face off, they naturally chose the location of the portal as carefully as possible and located it in the southern border of the Han Dynasty.

After the Longhu Mountain of the Tang Dynasty defeated the Longhu Mountain of the Han Dynasty, Lei Jun presided over the Taoist change of the reign title here, and his destination was still in the south of the Yangtze River.

Kongsang Didu went to the northern border. In addition to showing that he and Kongsang Tianjing were irreconcilable, he also took the initiative to express his intention to give in to Longhushan of the Tang Dynasty.

In this human world, there are foreign tribes from Mobei who have been active in the northern border.

The Chanyu of a foreign race is a master who has been famous in this native land for many years.

In recent years, the spiritual energy of heaven and earth has surged among the Han people, which is conducive to the practice of cultivators. It is also rumored that a younger generation of masters are rising among the alien races.

The internal turmoil of the Han Dynasty also attracted the attention of foreign masters, but although they went south, they did not take advantage of the situation to invade Han territory.

At present, they are still ready to make a move, and it seems that they are also waiting to see whether the Tang Dynasty will take further actions against the Han Dynasty, and then decide on their strategy.

Ke Lang had come to Mount Longhu with Xiang Chengyuan on purpose this time, which showed his true intention. He would not associate with the foreign tribes in Mobei, but would instead launch an offensive against the Han Dynasty.

Strictly speaking, Lei Jun doesn't care whether the Han Dynasty will fall or not.

From a certain perspective, the imperial family is the largest family.

The big thing done by Xiang Chengyuan and Xiang Jing, father and son, not only made them lose the support of the people, but also made Lei Jun a little nervous.

He is more observing at the moment.

Observe the subsequent behavior of the Xiang royal family.

For the time being, the Kongsang Witch King, who has a serious criminal record, is making Lei Tianshi even more unbearable.

It's just that the Three Caves and Three Days Supreme Dragon-Tiger Immortal Formation cannot be used again in a short period of time and cannot be used far away from Longhu Mountain, and the Kongsang portal is closed, so although Lei Jun is worried about it in his heart, he doesn't worry about it all the time.

After talking with Ke Lang this time and discussing Kongsang and the Witch King with him, Lei Jun's thinking became broader as he learned more about the situation and information.

In addition, Ke Lang talked about something else: "Although the monk from the Xumi Treasure Department had not entered Kongsang before, some people in our sect reported that he might have collected some things related to Kongsang during the chaos."

Lei Jun: "Written by Venerable Shanzhihui?"

Ke Lang: "It is not possible to determine what they have gained, but we have to consider it."

Lei Jun nodded slightly: "Thank you, Master Ke, for telling me."

There is unrest among the Han people today.

Although Lei Jun rarely goes out of Longhu Mountain in the Han Dynasty.

But in the current situation, wherever he is, he becomes the focus.

Representatives from various forces came and went in an endless stream.

Even if he cannot get the support of Master Lei Tianshi, at least he cannot be opposed by Master Lei Tianshi and the Tianshi Mansion of Longhu Mountain in the Tang Dynasty.

After Ke Lang and Xiang Chengyuan left, other people came one after another, including many members of the Han court imperial family who were now competing for the throne.

In addition, members of the prominent Han families also secretly went to Mount Longhu, hoping to meet the Heavenly Master.

The person Lei Jun was relatively familiar with was Wang Bu Jiu, a descendant of the Wang family of Langya.

The other party originally stayed in the Tang Dynasty, and even though the gates of Datong were closed, he never returned to the Han Dynasty.

However, with the drastic changes in the Han Dynasty, Wang soon passed through the void portal and rushed back to the Han Dynasty directly from the Tang Dynasty.

After communicating with family elders such as Wang Yan again, Wang soon came to Longhu Mountain as a representative.

Also coming with him was Li Tingyu, a descendant of the Li family in Suzhou.

The other party is the best among the younger generation of the Suzhou Li family under Li Feiyang.

Just like in Kongsangdi before, the Wang family of Langya and the Li family of Suzhou were relatively cautious during the first face-to-face visit. Leaders such as Wang Yan and Li Feiyang did not come directly to Longhu Mountain, but sent Wang Buji and Li Tingyu to come first to try to paved the way.

Although the Wang family of Langya and the Li family of Suzhou had begun to change their overall family policy a few years ago because of Wang Xu, a man from Dongyang Mountain.

However, the Tianshi Mansion of Longhu Mountain in the Tang Dynasty first destroyed the famous families of the Tang Dynasty, and then pacified the Five Hopes of Datong.

For the aristocratic families, Lei Jun and others are too notorious, so even if they want to deal with them, they have to be cautious.

In this regard, Wang Buji, who had stayed in Datong and Datang for some time, was relatively more relaxed.

Li Tingyu felt even more uneasy.

Lei Jun was very calm about their arrival.

He simply handed the responsibility over to his junior fellow student Chu Kun.

He will consider showing up in person later when Wang Yan, Li Feiyang and others go up the mountain.

In fact, even if Wang Yan, Li Feiyang and others came, Lei Jun's attitude was still to wait and see the future.

Wang Buzhi and Li Tingyu went down the mountain after talking with Chu Kun.

Not long after leaving the mountain gate, he met Fang Junmei from Jingxiang.

Wang Buzhi and Li Tingyu looked at each other in bewilderment upon seeing this.

"Long time no see, you two. I hope you are well." Fang Junmei saluted as usual.

Wang Buji asked: "Brother Chixing, are you from Jingxiang?"

Fang Junmei looked calm: "It's my personal idea, but I also reported it to the clan before coming here... Well, I should say that this is a result that all parties are happy to accept. Everyone is happy."

Li Tingyu was silent.

Wang looked at him and said softly, "In the future, maybe there will be a chance for us to meet up in the Tang Dynasty together."

Fang Junmei smiled: "Okay, okay."

He is currently in the Han Dynasty and his situation is extremely special.

Very early on, he appeared as an unfilial descendant of the family, and like a favorite, he served the court and obeyed the orders of the Han Emperor Xiang Chengyuan.

Fang Junmei knew that she was not a flatterer.

He knew better that the monarch he served was not a cruel and incompetent ruler.

The other party's previous actions were indeed forced and difficult.

It is rare that the king and his minister are such close friends regardless of age difference.

Unfortunately, Han Emperor Xiang Chengyuan struggled for half his life, but he could not escape the control and scheme of the Kongsang Witch King. He was no longer famous for his whole life, and instead of a reversal, he was defeated and lost everything in humiliation.

Although, the Witch King Kongsang did not win in the end.

Xiang Chengyuan barely managed to save his life, but he announced to the public that he had passed away.

Fang Junmei, who was already regarded by the outside world as a flatterer and villain, now has an even worse reputation and situation.

But precisely because of this, he simply left the Fang family of Jingxiang in the Han Dynasty, and even left the Han Dynasty and left this world.

Xiang Chengyuan, who was already an elder of Kongsangdi, also encouraged him to change the world like himself, perhaps he could have a new beginning.

No matter how bad it gets, it won't be worse than it is now.

Fang Junmei did not follow Xiang Chengyuan to Didu this time.

He wanted to see the world outside the Han Dynasty.

Fang Qiong, the head of the Fang clan in Jingxiang of the Han Dynasty, acquiesced to Fang Junmei's choice.

Compared with the relatively new and emerging aristocratic families such as the Wang family of Langya and the Li family of Suzhou, which just rose to prominence during the Han Dynasty, the Fang family of Jingxiang has a longer history.

This makes it even more difficult to turn around.

Even fewer are willing to turn.

But for a young man like Fang Junmei who has disgraced himself and lost his reputation, it is just right for him to leave the family and try another way.

Fang Junmei had no attachment to the Fang clan in Jingxiang.

In the future, he will form his own clan, branch out and follow a different path from the Jingxiang Fang clan.

If the two sides meet in the future, neither will show mercy.

Fang Junmei bid farewell to Wang Bu'ji and Li Tingyu and went up the mountain to meet him.

Lei Jun also handed the other party over to Chu Kun.

Lei Jun, who had had contact with the other party before, naturally knew that this notorious Confucian scholar was actually quite talented.

However, Fang Junmei acted so brazenly and was not expelled from the Jingxiang Fang clan of the Han Dynasty. It can be seen that there are considerable differences of opinion within the Jingxiang Fang clan.

Later, even some descendants of the Ye clan from Qingzhou came to pay homage to the mountain.

Lei Jun handed all these people over to Chu Kun for reception.

But there are others who cannot transfer it to Chu Kun.

In the pale dark universe of the heavenly book, the "glory" of dark stars flows like ink.

This starlight belongs to Rahu.

Kang Ming, who was in the Huangtian Dao Sect Altar, was sitting alone on the third floor of the altar with a serious expression.

The previous war between the Longhu Mountain of the Tang Dynasty and the Longhu Mountain of the Han Dynasty affected the Huangtian Sect.

This means that the location of the Huangtian Sect Altar has been exposed.

Moreover, it was noticed by more than one party.

This is the worst news for Huang Tiandao.

Although Huang Tiandao currently has Kang Ming and other three-day cultivators, if the current sect altar is destroyed, even if Kang Ming, Chen Ziyang and others are willing to sacrifice themselves to transform into the sect altar, they will still lack the natural treasures to assist.

In such a dangerous situation, Kang Ming could only make a gamble.

He had to find a way to move the Huangtian Sect Altar as a whole away from its current exposed location.

This is the first time in the history of Huangtian Dao. Earlier, senior leaders such as Yu Qingling and Taiping Daoren were unable to accomplish such a feat.

The sect altar is in accordance with the laws of heaven and earth and is closely connected with the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, so it is difficult for it to be moved like a human.

Fortunately, Kang Ming had a chance encounter and obtained a rare treasure during his stay among the Han people.

The two parties from the outside world secretly left arrangements in the Huangtian Sect Altar, and then the fierce collision canceled each other out, which gave Kang Ming the opportunity to clear these traces.

After eliminating other people's hidden tricks, Kang Mingfang could then try his secret method of moving the sect altar.

He succeeded.

With the help of the flow of earth veins, Kang Ming successfully transported his headquarters from the East China Sea Island to the Northeast China land.

The situation is somewhat similar to the Tang Dynasty's Shushan Sect's magic weapon Qingxiaofu, which was moved by borrowing the spiritual energy of the earth's veins.

After suffering several losses previously, Kang Ming has been trying to get rid of similar threats.

Fortunately, the treasures that could not be found in the Tang Dynasty were obtained among the Han people today.

But the Huangtian Sect Altar is not the Qingxiao Palace after all.

Movement is not smooth and once moved it is difficult to move again.

After the Huangtian Sect was stabilized again, the turmoil and destruction it experienced as a whole were extremely severe.

Kang Ming was sitting in the ancestral altar at the moment, and on the contrary he was constantly warming up the altar and eliminating the damaged parts in it.

At the same time, it seems to be waiting for the final judgment.

The location of the Huangtian Sect altar has changed.

But if the other party can still find some clues, they may be able to find out the new location of the sect's altar.

Fortunately for Kang Ming, there was no sign of anyone else appearing for quite a long time.

The Huangtian Sect Altar has a new hidden address.

Kang Ming has been paying attention to news from the outside world. Ji Daocheng, Xiang Jing and others from the Han Dynasty's Longhu Mountain have all died, but the Tang Dynasty's Longhu Mountain still exists.

Kang Ming had very complicated feelings about the place.

Another thing that made him have many doubts was Luohou An Yao.

He gained a lot through the Dark Side Universe of the Heavenly Book.

But Kangming was always wary of this.

"But... many times, there is no choice at all." Kang Ming shook his head slightly.

On Mount Longhu, Lei Jun calmly watched as the Huangtian Sect altar moved to another location.

Although Kang Ming tried very hard to clean it up, the talisman engraving left there by Lei Jun could not be removed by the other party at the moment.

Lei Jun was quite impressed with Kang Ming's method of moving the Huangtian Sect altar.

It’s a pity that similar methods can only be used for relatively simple altars like the Huangtian Altar, and cannot be moved to the Wanfa Altar on the Tang side or the Longhu Altar on the Han side.

However, for Lei Jun, this can also be regarded as a reference.

He didn't mind the Huangtian Sect moving, nor did he mind keeping Huang Tiandao first.

The information provided by "Luo Hou" Kang Ming some time ago made Lei Jun more interested at this moment.

The news came from Kang Ming's excavation of the remains of the Chu people in Suzhou, Han Dynasty.

In the present-day Han area, the Chu people in Suzhou have long since declined.

Lian Suyang is currently run by the emerging famous family, the Li family.

Kang Ming discovered some remaining written records in a Chu ruins outside Suzhou.

Lei Jun, the dark master of the Heavenly Book, said that in addition to clues about the ancient talisman sect, he would also collect clues related to the old subordinates of the Heavenly Palace.

Kang Ming made a discovery in the Chu Clan ruins during this trip. In the missing but not short document notes, there was a person whose name Lei Jun had just heard of not long ago:
Chu Baiyu.

His real name is Zheng Baiyu, also known as Mr. Beichen, and he married a girl from the Chu family.

Combined with the news from Kunlun, the experience of this great Confucian scholar from the late Han Dynasty is quite legendary. He made constant counterattacks in life and eventually became a Confucian sage. After entering the Heavenly Palace, his cultivation and status also soared in a short period of time.

Afterwards, he not only severely damaged the Suzhou Chu Clan, but also became a key core figure among the old subordinates of the Heavenly Palace, second only to Gao Tianjun, and on par with a handful of others.

After the great catastrophe at the end of the Han Dynasty, it was rumored that Zheng Baiyu died. Unlike Gao Tianjun and others, he was not sealed in the blue sky by He Ying, the Tianrui layman of Zhang Wantong's previous life.

But according to the notes manuscript found by Kang Ming, which was written by the Suzhou Chu clan before the catastrophe at the end of the Han Dynasty, Lei Jun saw some different clues in it.

The notebook manuscript is incomplete.

But one of the contents caught Lei Jun's attention:

Zheng Baiyu once visited the dark and gloomy sea where the Jiuli people lived.

The record was simple, just mentioned briefly, and the recorder himself did not take it seriously.

But Lei Jun couldn't help but think of something.

Once upon a time, a great scholar entered Dihai and had a profound influence on the Jiuli people of Dihai, causing the names of the nine tribes to change.

Names such as Tan Li, Lu Li, Ju Li, Fu Li, etc. make it hard not to think of star names such as Tan Lang, Lu Cun, Ju Men, and Zuo Fu.

Zheng Baiyu is often associated with the stars, whether it is his real name or the self-proclaimed Mr. Beichen.

If the great scholar who influenced the Jiuli tribe to change its name was Zheng Baiyu, then the rumor that he died in the great catastrophe at the end of the Han Dynasty may not be true.

Lei Jun had previously conducted a careful inspection in the Earth Sea, and related clues eventually led to the Earth Sea, through the ancient Song Dynasty human world, and pointed to Youyin, which is one of the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths together with the Earth Sea.

Regardless of whether he is still alive or reborn like Zhang Wantong, Zheng Baiyu is very likely to be related to Youyin.

There is currently a lack of solid evidence on this matter.

It is even unknown whether Zheng Baiyu himself found the Earth Sea.

But Lei Jun had a strong intuition at this moment and felt that his guess should be correct.

Regarding the old belongings of the Heavenly Palace, outside of the blue sky, the Deep Realm is also a place that needs attention.

After thinking for a moment, Lei Jun collected his thoughts, calmed his mind, and continued with his work.

In addition to presiding over the affairs of the Taoist change of the Han Dynasty in Longhu Mountain, Lei Jun never relaxes his own practice on weekdays.

Although the situation in the Han Dynasty was unstable, the situation on all sides began to become clear, so Lei Jun felt relieved.

When he had some free time, he carefully studied some of the spoils he had obtained earlier.

There is no need to say much about Taiqing Cave Heaven.

Killing Xiang Jing allowed Lei Jun to obtain two valuable treasures.

【Witch Gold Knife】

【Return to Origin Bottle】

The former was Xiang Jing's ultimate move that he kept until the very end. The blade was sharp and the whole body was solid.

More importantly, it contains spells constantly cast by top masters of the witch sect, which can hurt the enemy invisibly and are difficult to resolve.

It’s just that when it encountered Lei Jun’s Taiqing Eight Scenery Treasure Cape, it failed to play its due role.

If you attack someone and get hurt, you could die.

Its texture is also extremely tough and can be used for violent attacks with extreme sharpness.

As a Taoist monk, Lei Jun finds it difficult to directly control this witch sword that originated from Kongsang.

But its solid foundation allows Lei Jun to use it as a magnetic flying knife.

As for the other magic weapon, the Guiyuan Bottle, it was a treasure in the shape of a white jade bottle that Xiang Jing used to absorb his magic power and spiritual energy and try to collect the Heavenly Master Seal. It looked thin and fragile, but it was actually extremely mysterious.

This was not the work of Xiang Jing or Ji Daocheng, but must have originated from Zhou Tian Taoist.

The treasure was previously suppressed by the Heavenly Master Seal.

Afterwards Lei Jun checked it carefully and after clearing out some things, it could be put to use again.

This is a genuine Taoist magic weapon of the talisman school.
