Seeking good fortune and avoiding misfortune starts from Tianshi Mansion.

Chapter 475 474. I can't play with them (two chapters in one)

"Elaborate!"

After Tang Xiaotang's initial surprise, she immediately became interested and put the teacup on the table: "How did you poke it? How did it leak?"

Lei Jun: "The senior sister went to the outskirts of the Abyss of Time. With her spellcasting and experimentation, the overall size of the Abyss of Time has shrunk.

But overall, the Abyss of Time has not been closed or closed. Instead, the chaos of time and space has intensified, forming a nearly tangible "flood" that has overflowed the Abyss of Time."

Tang Xiaotang rubbed his hands in anticipation: "The turbulence of time and space is overflowing, this really pokes a hole in the sky."

Lei Jun: "Fortunately, the senior sister was right beside us, preventing the turbulence in the Abyss of Time from dissipating further, but after this incident, the Abyss of Time is not as stable as before.

The eldest sister stayed there, carefully studying the turbulence of space and time, and it is said that she has made some progress. "

Lei Jun paused for a moment and continued:
“According to Senior Sister, most of those time and space fragments seem to have originated from ancient times.

Because it is too fragmented, our current knowledge of it is limited, but many things can be matched with historical records or even myths and legends..."

Tang Xiaotang: "Ancient times, so long ago?"

Lei Jun nodded silently.

Tang Xiaotang seemed to remember something: "As for the real Heavenly Palace, didn't it exist in ancient times?

Generally speaking, it is said that it was the great changes that took place in the Three Realms, the demise of the Heavenly Palace, the emergence of the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, that marked the end of the Ancient Era..."

Lei Jun still nodded silently, many guesses and thoughts flashed through his mind, and his thoughts were in a mess for a while.

Tang Xiaotang stood up, put his hands behind his back, turned around a few times, his eyes shining: "It sounds interesting, I'll go over there and take a look too."

Lei Jun came back to his senses, gathered his scattered thoughts, and said with a smile:

"I don't have any other stone knives on hand for now, so I can only let Third Junior Brother take you in. He will take one person with him at a time. Every time he returns from there, he needs to wait for a while before he can re-enter the Great Jurisdiction. The person he takes with him must go in and out together."

Tang Xiaotang nodded repeatedly: "I will send a message to Chu Kun right away."

Not long after, Chu Kun returned to the human world and met Lei Jun, Tang Xiaotang, and Wang Guiyuan:

"Second Brother, Senior Sister asked me to ask you, is the Soul of Time Blade useful to you right now?"

Lei Jun: "My senior sister mentioned to me earlier that the Soul of Time Blade is ready. You can take it with you when you go there."

Tang Xiaotang looked Chu Kun up and down: "Looking listless?"

Chu Kun pointed at his face and said, "Senior Sister Tang, I am still feeling scared when I see this expression."

Xu Yuanzhen's act in public seemed to be harmless, but she herself was responsible for it.

Even the monks and common people in Daju, Zhongliu and other places of Yan State did not feel any changes.

But Chu Kun sensed it very clearly, he even felt that his soul was trembling at that time.

"So, the connection between you and Daju is unexpectedly deep." Tang Xiaotang exclaimed in amazement and circled around Chu Kun.

Chu Kun spread his hands and said, "I only realized this after seeing the great changes in recent years.

It's not that my connection with it has deepened as the larger order has changed, but it has always been this way.

It’s just that my cultivation level was lower before, and the changes were small, so I didn’t feel it clearly at that time.”

Wang Guiyuan stood aside and patted Chu Kun on the shoulder.

The two brothers looked at each other and smiled bitterly.

"Although Senior Sister has caused some trouble, with her here and Junior Sister also going in, we should be able to handle it."

Lei Junyan said: "Just like the changes in Yuangu last time, this time you may turn a disaster into a blessing, get a great opportunity, or it may help you improve your cultivation faster, but it's a bit thrilling..."

Chu Kun smiled bitterly.

To some extent, this can be regarded as another kind of "slow and steady wins the race".

But it's more than thrilling.

But Chu Kun did not blame Xu Yuanzhen for his previous actions.

Just because the Abyss of Time does not move for the time being does not mean that we can rest easy in the future.

It is better for Master Chu to face the situation alone now that Xu Yuanzhen, Tang Xiaotang, Lei Jun and others who have a higher level of cultivation are handling it.

Later, Chu Kun brought the Time Blade and Tang Xiaotang to Daju.

This time, they, along with Xu Yuanzhen who had been there earlier, have not returned for a long time.

Fortunately, the audio was not interrupted.

Lei Jun and Wang Guiyuan received news from Daju every now and then.

"According to Master Bai, the Abyss of Time did not appear around the time of the great catastrophe at the end of the Han Dynasty, but has existed for a long time."

Lei Jun and Wang Guiyuan asked, "If that's the case, I wonder how many discoveries Yan Rizhong and others, the martial immortal who previously held the sway over the law, have made?"

Wang Guiyuan: "Brother, what you mean is that compared to Biluo, Daju is the real starting point for the old members of Tiangong?"

Lei Jun: "Yes, and no. The old Tiangong originally originated from Biluo. Biluo also contains some ruins of the former Tiangong, but many of them were interrupted due to the turmoil in ancient times.

On Daju's side, there seems to be a line, a line of time, connecting from ancient times to the present."

Wang Guiyuan: "It's a pity that Yan Rizhong and others were killed by our sect's Patriarch Zhuang, and Patriarch Zhuang himself can no longer tell us the answer. As for the line of time in the Great Jurisdiction, it is hard to predict whether it will be good or bad..."

Lei Jun was in deep thought.

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

Time flies by.

Xu Yuanzhen stayed in Daju and did not leave.

Tang Xiaotang and Chu Kun went in and out several times.

In the middle of the game, Lei Jun replaced Tang Xiaotang and also entered the rules, observing Shi Zhiyuan carefully.

But relatively speaking, Lei Jun stays outside the rules most of the time.

He either walks around the human world to preside over the daily affairs of the Tianshi Mansion in Longhu Mountain, or travels between Saha, Guizang, Penglai, Huangquan and other places.

The branches of the sacred Wutong tree are in Penglai, and its features are first seen.

Lei Jun took good care of it, waiting patiently for the branches of the sacred tree to grow to the standard he required.

In addition, he continued to improve and adjust the Shangqing Leifu Cave Heaven, Taiqing Duren Cave Heaven and Yuqing Miluo Cave Heaven on the original basis in order to achieve excellence.

Spring passes and summer comes.

During this period, Master Lei Tianshi celebrated his 93rd birthday.

Xu Yuanzhen has returned the Time Sword Spirit, and Lei Jun continues his own practice, silently accumulating the Qingling Jiuqi.

"My eldest sister's cultivation strength has reached a level that is probably comparable to that of the Emperor Tang, who is willing to strive for a realm above the Ninth Heaven, right?" Wang Guiyuan asked.

Lei Jun: "It should be soon, but Senior Sister may not take that step right away."

Wang Guiyuan: "I thought before that Junior Sister Tang would remember that we are all at the perfect level of the Ninth Heaven, and would definitely compete with Senior Sister again, but that didn't happen."

Lei Jun: “Two factors.

On the one hand, it was because of Zhao Zhenjun in Kunlun Qingwei Heaven.

On the other hand, Junior Sister gradually figured it out."

Wang Guiyuan smiled and said, "If you don't want to win, you won't lose."

Lei Jun nodded.

Tang Xiaotang has always been proud of his extraordinary talents, especially his innate ability which few others can match.

As a result, he met Zhao Chanyang, who was born with a Taoist physique and natural understanding.

At the age of over seventy, he successfully reached the fairyland and practiced qi to restore his spirit.

Tang Zhenren's character was not greatly affected, but he also experienced that there are always people better than you.

So in addition to her own practice, even if she reached a higher level and achieved the same Ninth Heaven Perfection Five Qi Chao Xuan realm as Xu Yuanzhen, she did not continue to compete with Xu Yuanzhen.

It's not that she changed her competitive target from then on, but she took similar things a little less seriously than before.

Although Master Tang is still competitive, he also has some feelings about tempering his magic weapon and sheathing it.

Not much, just a few points.

Just these few points made her look at some things from a different perspective.

Just like her competition with Xu Yuanzhen, the key to victory lies more on her rather than Xu Yuanzhen.

She was so eager to win that Xu Yuanzhen had the opportunity to take advantage of her.

If she can stay calm from beginning to end and make good use of the Tianxin Dongming Dharma Scroll, the worst result will be a draw.

Xu Yuanzhen knew this truth, Lei Jun knew it, Wang Guiyuan knew it, and Tang Xiaotang herself might have known it in the past.

But she doesn't believe in evil.

Now, she still doesn't believe it.

But Taoist Tang is now more patient than before.

Although she was still in a rush, she decided to prepare again and again this time and then act in a hurry.

As for Xu Yuanzhen's potential to reach a higher level...

There is nothing to say.

She also went a step further.

"Junior Sister Tang is like this, Senior Sister can be comforted for the rest of her life." Wang Guiyuan said.

Lei Jun raised his eyes to the sky: "Well, probably..."

Wang Guiyuan looked over here.

Lei Jun raised his hand and roughly gestured: "To use the words of the senior sister, she is now looking forward to fighting with the junior sister."

Wang Guiyuan opened his mouth, but no sound came out.

But Lei Jun was very familiar with the other person.

He thought that what Wang Guiyuan wanted to say might be:

I really can't play with them...

"Brother, what do you think about your future practice?" Lei Jun changed the subject.

He glanced around the Saha world.

Wang Guiyuan has been here for quite some time.

Compared to the Sumeru which is controlled by the Buddhist hand seals, the Leiyin Temple lineage on the Saha side is all from the Central Earth Buddhist system.

Although what he learned was not exactly the same as what Wang Guiyuan learned, Lei Jun could see that he had gained a lot here.

"I have learned a lot, but I still need to study it carefully." Wang Guiyuan said: "Junior brother, you are making rapid progress."

He looked at Lei Jun: "After all, the senior sister started practicing earlier, and she may be a little faster than you, but she is not in a hurry to reach the fairyland right now.

Junior Sister Tang doesn’t seem to be much faster than you. She started ten years earlier than you, but you are about to catch up with her.”

Lei Jun: "It's too early to tell. The key lies in the next few years."

Wang Guiyuan smiled and said, "You have ascended to the immortal realm. All your previous life talismans can be sublimated. According to your personality, you must have a plan in mind. I just wonder if you have any idea for your first immortal talisman?"

Lei Jun: "To be honest with you, Senior Brother, I have some ideas, but they are just castles in the air. The details will only be known after I ascend to heaven. I am afraid that my current guesses are mostly specious."

This is the advantage of being born into a major sect in a holy land.

No matter what the current situation is, at least our ancestors were wealthy.

Before the catastrophe at the end of the Han Dynasty, there were many elders in the history of Tianshi Mansion who had attained enlightenment and ascended to heaven. They left behind a few words, which were the true teachings for the younger generations, allowing them to get a glimpse of the scenes inside the immortal gate.

It is like the cultivators practice magic during the lower three days, practice methods during the middle three days, and practice supernatural powers during the upper three days.

The methods practiced by those who reach the fairyland are called the immortal secrets.

The Taoist talisman school is also called the immortal talisman. At this point, there is no such thing as destiny or non-destiny.

Because immortal talismans often come from the combination of the cultivator's own practice and his understanding of the principles of heaven and earth.

The one that best suits you and is different from others.

Therefore, not only in the Tianshi Mansion of Longhu Mountain, but also in other inheritances, the immortal secrets have not been passed down.

If we say that cultivation in the human world is always within the scope of being guided by the master, then the real cultivation is up to the individual.

Even the boundaries between the talismans, alchemy cauldrons, and refining techniques, which are all Taoist traditions, are gradually blurring, and they are finding more and more similarities.

The great way is simple and true.

The higher you go, the more so.

"It's said to be a return to the truth, but the further we go, the more we feel that learning has no end," Lei Jun said with a smile.

Wang Guiyuan: "After ascending to immortality, if the human world has not yet merged, do you have the same considerations as my elder sister?"

Lei Jun: "Relatively speaking, my side is closer to the ideas of His Majesty the Emperor of Tang."

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

While fellow apprentice brother Lei Jun was meditating in Saha world.

In the world of Ming Dynasty.

Abbot Guangshu of Bodhi Temple was at the forefront of suppressing the White Lotus Rebellion and temporarily went to Beijing.

Although the Ming Dynasty court still had a large army on the border, the Ming Lian Sect felt much more relaxed due to this.

Although the Great White Lotus Saint Lord could not split himself, the monk Tianshu, the future Maitreya of the Ming Dynasty, temporarily sneaked to another place quietly.

Later, he met Feng Wensu from Youyin again.

This time, the monk Tianshu, the future Maitreya of the Ming Dynasty, handed over a Confucian latitude and longitude box to Feng Wensu.

"Donate something." Monk Tianshu still looked sad and serious. "We have ended the previous karma."

"Master, you are so polite. I am very grateful and will reward you generously later." Feng Wensu said.

He took the latitude and longitude box and opened it. Inside were a collection of ancient scrolls and books, which exuded a strong literary and noble spirit.

In addition to the name of Fengming Collection, there is also a detailed signature inside:

Hexuanshanren.

"It is indeed the calligraphy of Mr. Hexuanshan." Feng Wensu nodded repeatedly.

The future Maitreya monk Tianshu of the Great Ming Dynasty put his palms together and bowed eleven times before turning around and leaving: "In this case, I will take my leave."

Feng Wensu watched the other party leave, and at the same time carefully put away the volume of "Fengming Collection".

Placed next to it was an ink pen that looked a little bald and quite old.

"At this point, it may still not be enough..." Feng Wensu's expression also became solemn.

That ink pen was given to him by Emperor You before he left Youyin.

This volume of "Fengming Collection" was written by the same person.

Well-known Confucian saints in the late Han Dynasty included Hexuan Shanren and Jiang Fengge.

In that era, he was better known by another name.

Ye Fengge.

His original surname was Jiang, but he later married into the Ye clan of Qingzhou.

Before the Eastern and Western leaves split, they controlled Lianshan, one of the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, but as the two leaves split, Lianshan was also lost.

Both the Qingzhou Ye clan and the Jinzhou Ye clan have spent countless manpower and material resources searching for Lianshan for many years.

Who would have thought that the person who finally succeeded was a son-in-law of his family.

But so many years have passed, and no one knows what the current situation in Lianshan is.

"All I can do is follow your majesty's instructions and try my best." Feng Wensu's figure disappeared between heaven and earth.

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

At the same time, Southern Wu during the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms period.

Tang Gong, the current ruler of Southern Wu, was telling his son Tang Chongye:

"You must go alone, and the news must not leak out!"

Tang Chongye, the crown prince of Southern Wu, said solemnly, "Yes, father."

He walked alone quietly, through the secret passage, and through the portal to come to a small and extremely secretive paradise owned by the royal family of Southern Wu.

There, there was a middle-aged monk waiting alertly.

In the past, Southern Wu worshipped Buddhism, and the gate to the Saha world was located within the territory of Southern Wu. The Little Western Paradise during the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms was also located here, and monks from all over Southern Wu came and went in an endless stream.

But now that Taoism is in control of the world, it seems quite unusual for the Prince of Nanwu to have a secret meeting with monks.

In particular, the middle-aged monk who was waiting for Tang Chongye here, his Buddhist name was Du Ming.

The former abbot of Xiaoxitian Temple in Nanwu.

One of the top monks in the Leiyin Temple lineage, second only to Venerable Puguang.

"Master Abbot." Tang Chongye, the prince of Southern Wu, saluted to the other party.

The two sides are not strangers to each other.

Both Tang Gong, the ruler of Southern Wu, and Tang Chongye, the crown prince of Southern Wu, although they were both warriors, used to go to Xiaoxitian of Southern Wu frequently to worship and offer incense.

“Your Highness, please don’t be polite.” Master Du Ming was calm and dignified, just like usual, and said calmly, “The Little Western Paradise in Nanwu has become a thing of the past. I have now returned to Leiyin Temple and am the most ordinary monk in Leiyin Temple.”

Tang Chongye said softly, "Although I haven't listened to the Master's teachings for only three or two years, my father and I feel like we have been in darkness for half our lives. Day and night, we beg the Venerable Master to show us the way out of this maze."

Master Du Ming: "King Wu and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince have devoted their hearts to the Buddha, and this is why I came here."

Having said that, Master Du Ming knows very well that the biggest reason why Tang Gong and Tang Chongye, father and son, have Buddha in their hearts is that the Taoist sect does not have them in its hearts.

During the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms period, there were constant wars and killings, and it was common for the flags on the city walls to change.

Previously, the Buddhist and Witch sects each supported several countries, and they constantly instigated, infiltrated and sabotaged each other.

For the monarchs of various countries in this chaotic era and even the ambitious heroes who want to replace their own kings, the choice between Buddhism and witchcraft is more about seeing which one has greater power and can provide more support and benefit to them.

The gateway to the Saha world is in Southern Wu. No matter which family or surname the royal family changes to in this land, it will naturally be the spokesperson for the Buddhist Little Western Paradise.

Southern Wu has the greatest respect for Buddhism, and in recent years the Wu and Tang royal families have enjoyed the most stable rule.

Tang Gong and his son Tang Chongye inevitably became a little too comfortable.

Who would have thought that in one day, the master of Saha would be changed.

But it doesn’t matter, Nanwu will just change the wind direction.

The former site of the Longhu Mountain Tianshi Temple in this human world is even also within the territory of Southern Wu.

But unfortunately, they seemed to have burned the wrong incense this time, or it should be said that they wanted to burn incense but had no way to do so.

Although the Longhu Mountain, which is a lineage of talismans, controls the Saha world, there are few descendants walking on the earth.

On the contrary, the Zhenwu Temple, which inherited the Danding lineage, actively participated in the world and founded its own school in this troubled time.

But the place they chose was the Later Han Dynasty.

After Zhou Pu ascended the throne of the Later Han Dynasty, his administration was relatively mild in the following years. He focused more on rectifying the Later Han Dynasty and clearing out Buddhist temples of all sizes across the country.

The Zhenwu Temple lineage also attaches great importance to laying a solid foundation.

But recently, Zhou Pu finally began to show his fangs.

He did not target other countries supported by the witch sect first, but instead targeted Beiliang in the north, which was also supported by the Buddhist sect.

But Nan Wu then felt a chill.

"Zhou Pu has the ambition to swallow up the world." Master Du Ming said slowly: "But the root of this is still in the Saha world today."

Tang Chongye, the prince of Southern Wu, nodded gently: "Master is right."

Master Du Ming: "If the virtuous father and son had sincerely appealed to the Saha world and were willing to submit to Zhou Pu, they would not have been killed.

When a new dynasty is established in the future, won’t it be possible to find a blessed place to practice cultivation and continue to live in peace? Your lives are not in the hands of Zhou Pu. "

Tang Chongye took a deep breath, and when he spoke again, his tone was still respectful, but not as evasive as before:
"I really don't know why my father and I decided the outcome in advance, and why they didn't even give me Nan Wu a chance?"

Master Du Ming looked indifferent: "Perhaps, it is because the virtuous father and son have been worshipping Buddha for a long time, so they are not tolerated by the Taoist sect."

Tang Chongye kowtowed to the solemn middle-aged monk in front of him and said, "Master, please teach me and my son."

Master Du Ming reached out his hand and helped the other person up: "Your Highness, you are too kind."

He then seemed to be asking about something completely unrelated: "You also entered Daju before. Please tell me in detail what happened in Daju."

Tang Chongye was a little surprised.

When he first entered the Daju, he also represented Nanwu. However, due to his limited cultivation strength and cautious mind, he did not approach the Xuantianyuan Valley, and instead looked for opportunities on the periphery.

His perspective was limited and he didn't see much about what was happening in Xuantianyuan Valley.

After he withdrew from the great rule, he also told Master Du Ming and Nan Wu Xiao Xi Tian what he had seen and heard.

Now hearing Master Du Ming's question, he hurriedly told the story again in all seriousness, not daring to add any exaggerations and only describing what he had seen and heard.

After listening carefully, Master Du Ming asked a question that he had not mentioned last time: "You have never seen anyone from the Taoist sect?"

Tang Chongye replied cautiously: "From what I have seen, I have not found any."

Master Du Ming nodded slightly.

He is a high monk of the Buddhist Zen and Martial Arts school who has reached the perfect state of the Ninth Heaven Dharmakaya. With his miraculous telepathy, he can easily judge whether what Tang Chongye said about the Eighth Heaven cultivation is true or false.

"There is one more thing. The abbot of Zhenwu Temple has already achieved the Five Qis Returning to Origin, right?" asked Master Du Ming.

Tang Chongye replied: "That should be correct. He had a brief fight with Wu Zhen and Jia Xianting, and Wu Zhen took the initiative to retreat first."

Master Du Ming nodded.

He was changing his angle to confirm the news once more.

“Mu Chunyang, a man of hidden talents.” Master Du Ming nodded slightly.

Wu Zhen and Jia Xianting did not use their full strength, and Mu Chunyang also did not show his true cultivation level.

There were rumors in the Ming Dynasty that he was weak and died easily, which was a waste of money for a Taoist master who had reached the Five Qis Converging to the Origin realm. His individual defense was almost comparable to that of a Buddhist monk who had achieved perfect Dharmakaya at the same realm.

As a result, Venerable Shanzhihui made a mistake and dragged everyone else into the ditch.

At the beginning, Mu Chunyang must not have died in Mount Sumeru, but escaped from Mount Sumeru to the human world, and then pretended to have died at the hands of Venerable Shanzhihui, using the barrier of the void realm to deceive Venerable Shanzhihui.

Now, this person has come to the world of the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms...

After Master Du Ming asked a few questions, he didn't say much and stood up and left:

“The virtuous father and son have a strong devotion to Buddhism. They can both be free. There is no need to worry about temporary difficulties. Right now they are just lotus seeds hidden in the mud.” Master Du Ming clasped his palms together, said goodbye and left.

He continued forward and went straight out of the territory of Southern Wu.

In the distance, two figures appeared to greet him, one Buddha and one Taoist. The former was Master Baoneng of Leiyin Temple, a fellow disciple of Master Du Ming, and the latter was Cen Ruopu, a disciple of Taoist Zhou Tian.

After listening to Master Du Ming's description of the relevant situation, Cen Ruopu said: "Da Ju is as important as Bi Luo."

Master Baoneng: "I don't know how Master Zhoutian would like to instruct me?"

Cen Ruopu said: "My master once said that Venerable Shanzhihui and Venerable Puguang are both great Buddhist masters with great wisdom. The two of them have helped the spiritual energy of heaven and earth to surge ahead of time in this area of ​​the human world. This is a great good.

And now, the most urgent task is to go one step further..."

Upon hearing this, Master Baoneng and Master Duming's eyes moved:
"To promote the early confluence of the human world?"
