Seeking good fortune and avoiding misfortune starts from Tianshi Mansion.

Chapter 448 447. Wang Guiyuan's Future (Two Chapters in One)

The shattered skull floated across the turbulent world of Luoyuan, indicating that the Lord of Youluo Mountain, who had briefly dominated Luoyuan, was destroyed in both body and soul and became history.

Lei Jun collected his Mahayana Daojing.

There were still some ghosts that were suppressed by his dragon and tiger combined attack. Lei Jun didn't need to attack them anymore. They would disappear automatically.

There was no sign of pain or struggle on his face. Instead, he looked calm and seemed to have a sense of relief.

In the surrounding deep sea, ghosts of medium and low levels of cultivation appeared one after another, and then disappeared one after another. These were all the work of Lord Youluo Shan.

With the death of Youluoshanjun, all of this became history.

If one practices witchcraft or ghost arts or other Taoist methods that focus on the spirit and soul, it will be of great use to collect these remaining ghosts.

But to Lei Jun, all this is meaningless.

He calmly watched the souls of both humans and demons disperse one by one, and silently recited the Taoist Sutra of Rebirth.

As if in response, Buddha's light surged in the distance and the sound of Buddhist chanting was heard.

Under Lei Jun's Yuqing Zhoutian Dharma Mirror, he could see Wang Guiyuan, who looked like the White Lotus Saint Master and monk Jingjiu, also chanting scriptures silently.

Beside him, there are the images of Ksitigarbha Bodhisattvas of the Six Paths, and their light dimly illuminates the silent and cold Luo Yuan.

Lei Jun came to Wang Guiyuan's side and looked to the other side.

There, the black and purple Silver Moon Phoenix was spreading its wings and flying away into the distance.

Neither Lei Jun nor Wang Guiyuan chased after him.

"Does she plan to stay in Luo Yuan?" Lei Jun asked.

Wang Guiyuan: "Well, she will stay. This is one of the most suitable places for her to practice. Having such a neighbor can help me if there are any other unusual events in the future."

Lei Jun looked at the disappearing Silver Moon Phoenix with great interest: "The Phoenix is ​​noble, but it cultivates evil spirits. Such a foundation is indeed rare."

Wang Guiyuan will stay in Luoyuan next.

With him around, no one else can control Luo Yuan as deeply as Youluo Shanjun did before.

But he also had no intention of controlling the world like Ji Yao of Shushan and Li Yuanheng of the Tanli clan did.

He was thankful that there was no chaos in the world.

After all, the Silver Moon Dark Phoenix cultivates demonic energy and evil spirits, and its behavior style is much more domineering, fierce, and aggressive than other phoenixes.

But since Wang Guiyuan had no intention of dominating Luo Yuan and squeezing her living environment like Youluo Shanjun did, Yinyue Minghuang also had no intention of creating trouble.

"She didn't kill anyone, and she didn't cause any harm to the world before. So let her go."

Lei Jun retracted his gaze: "There is also a big abyss turtle?"

Wang Guiyuan: "Well, although it has not entered the human world of the Tang Dynasty, this demon turtle behaves in the same way as Youluo Shanjun, Gu Jiaohuang, and Youming Moss, and regards human life as worthless.

However, he has other connections, so I will keep him alive for now and deal with him later. I will suppress him in a vacuum bottle."

Lei Jun walked around the vacuum bottle and said, "Is this the vacuum bottle that is known as the Ninth Grade Lotus Platform? It is indeed extraordinary."

The White Lotus Sect originated from the internal split of the three Buddhist holy places of Tianlong Temple, Xuantian Temple and Bodhi Temple in the past, which were the three lineages of vows, precepts and Zen and martial arts. Therefore, the White Lotus Sect also has the three lineages of Buddhist practice inheritance, namely making vows, keeping precepts, and Zen and martial arts, which are symbolized by the treasure bottle, lotus and bodhi respectively.

The world-famous Nine-Rank Lotus Platform originated from the tradition of keeping precepts.

The vacuum bottle originated from the tradition of making a vow.

As Jingjiu has been in "seclusion" for many years and there has been little news of him, the vacuum bottle has not appeared in the world of the Tang Dynasty for many years.

"In my early years, I needed the help of the vacuum bottle to subdue the chaos of Wu Jian." Wang Guiyuan stood next to the treasure bottle: "Now the situation is a little better."

Lei Jun looked into the bottle.

As a result, he saw a huge golden Buddhist body with a dragon wrapped around its body. At this moment, it was sitting on a giant turtle that was as big as an island with its palms clasped together.

It seems that the Dharmakāya of the Great and Mighty Heavenly Dragon Bodhisattva is even larger than the Great Abyss Turtle.

Lei Jun looked at the Dharmakāya of the Great and Mighty Heavenly Dragon Bodhisattva, and then looked at Wang Guiyuan himself, who was manifesting the light and shadow of the Six Paths Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva outside the vacuum bottle:

"Congratulations, Senior Brother, have you achieved the reward body?"

Like the White Lotus Saint Jingjiu and the Tianlong Temple monk Faqing, they are both descendants of the same Buddhist lineage.

The Nine-fold Heaven Dharmakaya realm cultivated by the vow lineage is divided into five levels, just like the Dharmakaya of the hand seal lineage of the Sumeru Buddhist sect.

The practice related to the hand seals is called the five-phase body.

The practice related to making vows is called the Five Evidences of Compassion or the Five Evidences of Compassion.

The practice of the first layer of the Ninth Heaven is called the supplementary practice, when the Dharma body is initially formed. On this basis, one accumulates aspirations and benefits all living beings. This indicates that the monks who have made vows from the Eighth Heaven to the Ninth Heaven have been practicing diligently, saving all living beings, accumulating continuously, and making continuous progress.

From the perspective of fighting against external enemies and subduing external demons, it means that while the cultivator is condensing his Dharma body, his Buddhist magic power is enhanced, and other Buddhist magical powers also rise accordingly.

The second level of the Nine Heavens is called Abiding, the abiding of wisdom, and the resting point of tranquility.

The external manifestation of the battle is that the stability and defense of the Buddhist monks' Dharma bodies are enhanced.

The third level of the Nine Heavens becomes the observing wisdom, which observes the wisdom and gives insight into the human world.

The improvement in external performance leads to a further substantial improvement in insight and perception.

To some extent, it is similar to the "Yi" in the fourth level of the nine heavens of Confucian classics.

No matter which path of Buddhist practice one follows, the most important thing is the mind and soul.

Reaching the fourth level of the ninth heaven of the vow lineage is called enlightenment, which is called enlightenment of emptiness, which is neither born nor destroyed, and is away from the world, also known as renunciation.

The main manifestation of external fighting with external enemies is that it is difficult for the enemy to discern the true origin and existence of the Buddhist monks in this realm.

Therefore, it is difficult for cultivators with similar cultivation levels to normally attack high monks of the vow lineage at this level, and they need unique magic skills to break through.

As for the fifth level of the Nine Heavens, it is called the wisdom of liberation. The cultivator realizes the true self-residence and enters into the void. There is no coming or going, no birth or death, and one attains great liberation.

Externally, the biggest feature is that there is a chance for liberation and rebirth.

The additional change brought about by making a vow to perfect the nine-fold dharmakaya realm of one's lineage and to possess the five proofs of compassion is the transformation of renunciation into bodhicitta, thereby obtaining a reward body in addition to one's dharmakaya.

From the perspective of fighting external enemies, the reward body is almost equivalent to the second body, and with the other magical powers of the Dharma body, wisdom is accumulated, and delusions are eliminated, which in turn can discern the opponent's true nature of emptiness.

To use the words from the game that Lei Jun played before coming to this world, when a high monk of the vow lineage reaches this level, it is very difficult for the opponent to actually hurt him. But if he attacks the opponent, he does not need to do any special research, but will attack the opponent's weak points and vital points.

Lei Jun had previously seen Wang Guiyuan's Dharma body of Peacock King Bodhisattva through the Jade Purity Zhoutian Dharma Mirror. Now he saw Wang Guiyuan himself outside the vacuum bottle, and there was also the Dharma body of Great Power Heavenly Dragon Bodhisattva inside the treasure bottle, so he guessed that the body inside the vacuum bottle was Wang Guiyuan's reward body.

Through the vacuum bottle, his first glance didn't seem so real.

Wang Guiyuan at the side said calmly: "Junior brother, you are too kind. I have not yet cultivated to the state of liberation and wisdom."

He did not hide it from Lei Jun and simply said: "Compared with other Buddhists, my situation is special. I come more from Wujian. It just so happens that my past and present bodies are both based on the same lineage of making vows, so there are some different changes between the two."

Lei Jun understood: "Brother, you are at the fourth level of the Ninth Heaven, you have realized emptiness, and cultivated to the state of renunciation. Although carrying the Wujian burden has reduced many ties to your lifespan, your daily practice has also been greatly affected, and it has held you back."

Wang Guiyuan: "I am a lesson for you. Junior brother, please take it as a warning."

Lei Jun looked at the Great Abyss Turtle again: "Who is standing behind this demon turtle?"

"Return to the ruins."

Wang Guiyuan: "Vacuum Bottle and I will work together to suppress him and cut off his connection with Guixu, but we must not take it lightly."

Lei Jun nodded slightly.

He recalled the various shocking changes that had occurred in the ancient Song Dynasty after the arrival of Guixu.

If Zongjia, the leader of the Sumeru Lotus Sect, had not been lost in Guixu, there would not have been the subsequent invasion of Sumeru by the Ming people, causing a series of major changes.

There, there might be a demon saint above the Ninth Heaven existing.

After examining the Great Abyssal Turtle with Wang Guiyuan, Lei Jun seemed to be thinking:
Kunpeng?
During the conversation between the two brothers, Luo Yuan's shock was gradually disappearing.

Because Wang Guiyuan, in turn, used Luo Yuan's power to suppress the restless Wu Jian.

After all, this place is inside Luo Yuan, and Wu Jian is an outsider.

Without Wang Guiyuan secretly directing the Wujian disaster, Luo Yuan, who occupied the home court, began to slowly repel the Wujian invasion.

Wang Guiyuan then borrowed Luo Yuan's power to seal Wujian again.

Without Wu Jian's chaos, Luo Yuan's own turmoil began to gradually disappear.

The light and shadow of the Six Paths Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva also gradually disappeared in Luo Yuan.

But Wang Guiyuan still maintained the external image of the White Lotus Saint Master Jingjiu.

In addition, on the side of Monk Jingjiu, there appears the figure of Monk Faqing from Tianlong Temple.

Immediately afterwards, Wang Guiyuan appeared again on the other side of Monk Faqing.

On the one hand, Luo Yuan was gradually calming down.

On the other hand, there is the support of Jingjiu and Faqing.

Although Wang Guiyuan’s current cultivation level is relatively low, he can still survive in Luo Yuan.

Lei Jun saw that his senior brother had made up his mind and that the current environment was more conducive to his practice, so he did not try to persuade him any further.

Wang Guiyuan rarely talked about his own cultivation, but he knew it in his heart.

Lei Jun also has a tacit understanding with him.

In addition to the Silver Moon Dark Phoenix, all the top monsters in Luo Yuan, such as Youluo Shanjun, Bone Dragon King, etc., have been killed.

However, in Luoyuan, there are still some monsters with relatively low cultivation strength.

These monsters and ghosts from the underworld will be the ones that Wang Guiyuan will rescue during his practice.

As a Buddhist practitioner who has made a vow, these are aspects that must be taken into consideration.

With the remaining monsters in Luoyuan and the disaster monsters in Wujian, Monk Jingjiu or Monk Faqing will not delay their practice even if they stay away from the world for many years.

The only thing that makes Lei Jun a little curious at the moment is that Wang Guiyuan's own practice of Taoist talisman school is relatively slow.

At the very least, it is far from being comparable to his Buddhist vows.

Even if he did not send his past incarnation, the White Lotus Saint Lord, to nirvana and then reincarnate into the next life, and only maintain the current three lives, it would still seem a little unbalanced.

Compared with his past and present, Wang Guiyuan, who bears the burden of the future, is obviously weaker.

Lei Jun's current understanding and vision are far beyond the reach of ordinary people.

Not only is his Taoist talisman practice already a giant in the world today, but he is also an inheritor of the Buddhist lineage. Although he has not practiced it himself, his knowledge far exceeds that of most people in the world.

Looking at the structure of Wang Guiyuan's current magical powers, he gradually had some ideas and guesses.

"Based on the temperament of the Silver Moon Dark Phoenix, we should be able to get along peacefully. However, in addition to the Great Abyss Dark Turtle, I will also pay attention to her."

Wang Guiyuan said to Lei Jun, "Junior brother, please leave some of your Tiantong Diche talisman and Tianshi Diting talisman for me to study and arrange in Luoyuan."

Under the constant impact of Luo Yuan's energy of life and death, the talisman will quickly decay and will be difficult to preserve.

Fortunately, Lei Jun had been to Huangquan more than once and had adapted to similar environments.

Therefore, the talismans he left behind can also last forever in Luoyuan's environment. "In this case, thank you for your hard work, Senior Brother." Lei Junyan said.

Wang Guiyuan: "We do need to be on guard against the Kunpeng Demon Saint, but fortunately, I don't want to stay here alone."

The danger of Luoyuan is, in some ways, even greater than that of Dihai.

Although the world in the Tang Dynasty seems peaceful now, Lei Jun and Wang Guiyuan have no intention of opening a stable void portal to connect Luo Yuan with the world.

However, there were some people with special means who went to Luo Yuan alone from time to time, and Lei Jun and his fellow apprentice had no intention of stopping them.

Xing Feng, the leader of the Blood River Sect of the Tang Dynasty, got a chance in his early years and was able to travel between the human world and Luo Yuan.

His cultivation was very different from what was passed down by the elders of the Blood River Sect of the Tang Dynasty. It incorporated a deeper understanding of the true meaning of life and death and the underworld, making it unique.

Later, it was because of Mu Weizi's mediation that the Lord of Youluo Mountain, the Bone Dragon King, and the Nether Moss united to expel the Silver Moon Nether Phoenix and the Great Abyss Nether Turtle, encroach on their influence, and gain a deeper control over this world. Only then was it possible to prevent the isolated and powerless Xing Feng from entering Luoyuan again.

Now that great monsters like Youluo Shanjun have died and Yinyue Minghuang has been unable to replace them, it is possible for Xing Feng to enter and leave Luoyuan again.

Lei Jun and Wang Guiyuan will not stop it.

Luo Yuan’s current environment is undoubtedly more favorable to Xing Feng.

At that time, he might also invite Li Tianqing and other Tang Dynasty witch masters to go to Luo Yuan together.

Among the nine heavens and ten earths, Luoyuan was once occupied by the human cultivators of the Wumen for a long time.

However, something unexpected happened many years ago, causing this place to fall into the hands of the demon clan.

When Lei Jun met Ke Lang, the leader of Kongsangdidu, in the Han world, he had discussed related matters with the other party.

Kongsang was occupied by the demon clan in the early years, but later it changed its owner and fell into the control of the witch clan.

As far as Ke Lang knows, the two sides exchanged homes at the same time, close to each other.

The great wizard Luo Yuan entered Kongsang.

The great monster Kongsang entered Luoyuan.

The time should be before the great catastrophe at the end of the Han Dynasty.

Even Ke Lang was not fully aware of the specific situation, and it might be that the Kongsang Witch King was the only one who knew about it.

There are a few unconfirmed rumors that may involve the Kongsang Witch King ascending to the Ninth Heaven, and there may have been more than one person at the time.

However, after a great catastrophe at the end of the Han Dynasty, few people know the details of what happened.

After Lei Jun chatted with Wang Guiyuan for a few more words, he said goodbye to Luo Yuan and returned to the Tang Dynasty.

This time we must fight quickly and decisively.

It didn't take long before Luo Yuan had changed his master.

Lei Jun returned to the ancestral temple of the Tianshi Mansion in Longhu Mountain, met his mentor Yuan Mobai, and gave him a general description of the situation.

Yuan Mobai nodded slightly: "His return was delayed for many years, but fortunately, as time went by, he gradually began to get rid of the shackles. Although he is now in Luoyuan, he has no worries when practicing, which is a good thing after all."

Lei Jun: "My disciple and Senior Brother share the same view. Although Luo Yuan is in seclusion, I will have someone prepare whatever Senior Brother needs for his practice and send it to him regularly."

Yuan Mobai: "Of course I have to give it as a gift, to help Chonggui update his inventory."

Both master and disciple smiled.

It’s obvious that Wang Guiyuan must have sufficient supplies prepared.

Sending things over here is more of a replacement of old with new, so that Wang Guiyuan can store more food while consuming the old food without worry.

“But the Demon Saint Kunpeng of Guixu may not give up easily. We need to pay more attention to him.” Yuan Mobai’s smile faded a little, and he said slowly.

Lei Jun nodded.

Naturally, he understood the unspoken meaning of his mentor's words.

With the strength accumulated by the Longhu Mountain of the Tang Dynasty and Wang Guiyuan's unparalleled ability, the attack of the Demon Saint Kunpeng alone would undoubtedly be a formidable enemy, but it would not be a life-and-death struggle. The slightest mistake would lead to eternal damnation.

But if there are other strong people, the threats faced by Lei Jun, Wang Guiyuan and others will increase sharply.

If it weren't for the personal intervention of Venerable Shanzhi, the leader of the Sumeru Lotus Sect, Zongjia, would have been able to escape from Guixu safely. Lei Jun has always been concerned about this matter.

Although it cannot be concluded that the two parties have reached any tacit understanding, Lei Jun always believes that it is worth being vigilant out of consideration for the enemy.

In addition, there is the Golden Khan Angqinfu.

If these three masters from the fairyland work together, the threat they pose will be much greater than if they act alone.

It was precisely because of their vigilance against relevant changes that Lei Jun and others successively closed the void portals connecting Dihai, Datong and the human world.

The good news right now is that the Golden Khan Angqinfu is alone and sleeping in the void in a foreign land.

Even if the message is sent to him by the human world, he may not be able to receive it in time.

But there are no exact numbers for such things.

Therefore, the Golden Khanate of the Song Dynasty is still strong and intimidating the Canglang Khanate and the remnants of the Song Dynasty, even though it does not have Angqinfu and Zongga. The reason lies in the current uncertainty of Angqinfu.

"correct……"

Yuan Mobai remembered something: "Penglai seemed to be in turmoil a while ago, and the reason is unknown."

Lei Jun thought thoughtfully: "...Eastern Green Emperor?"

The waves in Penglai rose and fell in just a short moment.

After bidding farewell to his master Yuan Mobai, Lei Jun went to Penglai.

In Penglai, the current tide has calmed down.

Lei Jun checked inside and outside and knew what was going on:

Someone wants to enter Penglai from the outside world, and it must be the Eastern Green Emperor Shen Xi who is trying.

However, after a brief unsuccessful attempt, the opponent gave up.

Lei Jun's Yuqing Zhoutian Dharma Mirror is at the Guantian Terrace, observing the world of the Jin Dynasty.

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

During the Two Jin Dynasties.

Shushan School of Southern Jin Dynasty.

Sect leader Shen Xi returns from outside.

Fellow disciples sent senior master Li Wanqiu to come over.

There were only the two of them in the room. Li Wanqiu, who was Shen Xi's confidant, said softly, "Master, how is Uncle Gongsun doing now?"

Shen Xi said slowly: "Although the changes are not big, Master's condition is a little worse than before."

Upon hearing this, Li Wanqiu's expression suddenly became serious.

The health condition of the former leader Gongsun Daoqi is gradually deteriorating.

Although the current decline is slow and the amplitude is not large, if it continues for a long time, it is hard to say when it will suddenly take a sharp turn for the worse.

The situation cannot be delayed.

"Is it still not working in Penglai?" Li Wanqiu looked solemn.

He also received Shen Xi's edict and had been in and out of Penglai with Shen Xi in the past.

But now, not only him, but even Shen Xi, the Eastern Green Emperor, can no longer go to Penglai.

Shen Xi hesitated for a long time before he said, "I am going to go to another world, to the Heavenly Master's Mansion in Mount Longhu."

Li Wanqiu said in a deep voice: "Master Brother...will it work? According to the information we learned from Penglai before, the Tianshi Mansion in Longhu Mountain of the Tang Dynasty has undergone a change of Taoism and is not only not the same as the ancient talisman school, but is also diametrically opposed to it.

It is precisely because of this that after the Northern Black Emperor, there was another shocking change in Penglai.

In the past, we might have been able to talk to them, but now, we have long been connected to the ancient talisman sect’s heritage.”

Shen Xi: "I have to try it after all."

Li Wanqiu: "Not only is the gate to Penglai closed, but the talismans we usually use are also useless. We can't pass through Penglai. What are you going to do, Brother Master?"

Shen Xi: "Just go directly from the human world."

Li Wanqiu was stunned.

Shen Xi said: "The Jiangzhou Lin Clan secretly opened a void portal leading to another world."

Li Wanqiu was surprised: "How could this happen? There was no news about it before."

Shen Xi: "They were cautious before, but recently they have become more aggressive because the world across the gate has undergone major changes recently."

Li Wanqiu: "Is the Tang Dynasty World across the street?"

Shen Xi: "The world across the way... is called the Han Dynasty."

He had previously acted in secret, and through the Lin clan of Jiangzhou in Southern Jin, he learned some news about the Han people today and the Han Dynasty.

At the same time, we also learned that there is direct communication between the Han people today and the people of the Tang Dynasty.

Using the present Han people as a transit point, the road from the Jin Dynasty to the Tang Dynasty is actually open.

Whether it is the Jiangzhou Lin Clan of the Han Dynasty or the Jiangzhou Lin Clan of the Southern Jin Dynasty, they are all secretly guarding the portal to the void.

But it was no problem for Shen Xi.

Not only does he have outstanding personal cultivation, he also has more than one Shushan treasure to help him.

Among them, Taiyi Huashang involves many mysteries of the void.

Li Wanqiu pondered, digesting the news Shen Xi told him: "Master Brother, according to what you said, the Jiangzhou Lin Clan has been making big moves recently, and it will probably alert others in the south and north, and there may be a big chaos then."

Shen Xi: "That's why I have to go there as soon as possible."

Li Wanqiu was silent for a moment, then said resolutely: "Brother, let me go first to explore the way and find out the situation, and then you can go..."

Shen Xi stopped Li Wanqiu and said, "No, I'll go over there."

Li Wanqiu said anxiously: "Brother, your cultivation is higher than mine, but the people in the Heavenly Master Mansion of Longhu Mountain in the Tang Dynasty are not my rivals!"

Shen Xi: "My cultivation is higher than yours. My use is mainly to keep it secret as much as possible and not alert others, but I have to fight with others."

Li Wanqiu: "Over at the Tianshi Mansion in Longhu Mountain of the Tang Dynasty..."

Shen Xi: "Whether it's the Penglai Human Kingdom or the Eastern Green Emperor, they are all for Master and for our sect.

If changing the method can prolong the life of the master and support the inheritance of our sect, then there is nothing wrong with changing it.

This risk is worth taking. My personal safety and honor are not worth mentioning.

Besides, there is no need to take risks.”
