Seeking good fortune and avoiding misfortune starts from Tianshi Mansion.

Chapter 514 Chapter 513. Master Lei gives a lecture (two chapters in one)

Lei Jun stood alone on top of the three-tiered circular altar, with a ten-colored crane canopy on his head. He first prayed to the heavens and offered sacrifices to God.

It can be seen that with the huge three-story altar as the center, more light is condensing, and the pillar of light that penetrates the sky and the earth is becoming more majestic, constantly expanding, reaching all directions, and then upwards, breaking through the clouds and rushing into the void.

As a result, the entire Longhu Mountain was bathed in light rain at this moment, and a large number of talismans and spiritual patterns surged, making the practitioners of middle and low levels who were just watching from the sidelines feel that they had benefited a lot for a moment.

Next, Lei Jun returned the greetings to Bai Mei, Zhao Chanyang and other Taoist people.

Finally, he bowed his head again and returned the greetings to other guests who came to watch the ceremony, including Zhenlong Huaming, Jinwu Haoyang, Huangfu Qi, etc.

In the boundless light, the huge three-story altar seemed to shrink a little, but continued to move upward, as if together with the people in the altar, it transformed into a black and white Tai Chi diagram, and then rose together and sank into the Three Purities and Three Treasures Cave Heaven, which was obtained by the integration of the three major cave heavens of Longhu Mountain above.

In the cave, Lei Jun stood with his back against a huge black and white Tai Chi diagram.

Bai Mei, Zhao Chanyang and other Taoists came forward to greet him again this time.

Led by Lei Jun himself, everyone chanted Taoist scriptures together.

The sound of chanting scriptures did not spread beyond the cave to the human world.

Only the vague and ethereal sound of the Great Dao occasionally resounds in the human world. It does not sound very grand, nor does it shake people's hearts, but the more powerful the people in the outside world are, the more they can understand the mystery of it.

Wang Guiyuan was accompanied by three fairyland masters: Zhenlong Huaming, Jinwu Haoyang, and Huangfu Qi.

Chu Kun and other monks from the Tianshi Mansion entertained guests from all over the world.

In the distance, Monk Huiyin, Monk Jianhai and Monk Tianshu did not stay for long. They looked up at the sky, put their palms together and bowed eleven times, then left quietly together.

Monk Jianhai and Monk Tianshu looked at each other and did not speak.

The Taoist sect has a new leader who is extremely powerful. However, although today's ceremony is grand, its influence is mainly limited to the cultivator level.

If Lei Jun was willing, the sound of chanting scriptures could be heard by most people in the world.

But he didn't do this.

The voice of the Great Dao is ethereal. Although it is extremely profound, it seems to be there and not there, and it is difficult for ordinary people to hear it.

This Master Lei gave up such an opportunity himself.

This is undoubtedly good news for both the orthodox Buddhism and the White Lotus Sect, as well as the various dynasties and Confucian practitioners.

Otherwise, the Taoist influence, which is already as strong as the sun, will surely rise further, and rise significantly, penetrating into all aspects of human life and reaching the hearts of the people.

With more time to accumulate, Confucianism had been practiced in the Ming Dynasty for hundreds and thousands of years, but it was just like this. However, Master Lei might be able to achieve it in one go.

But he didn't do it in the end.

Looking back at his attitude towards the Ming Dynasty and the Neo-Confucian rituals at this moment, everyone can't help but have more understanding.

It's not just the two eminent monks of the White Lotus Sect, Monk Jianhai and Monk Tianshu.

Even the guests who came to watch the ceremony before the public appearance were all thinking:

Sect Leader Lei has the ability to do it but doesn't.

For others, it is not an opportunity to take advantage of the situation and get ahead of others.

On the contrary, other people should be more careful in this regard, so as not to follow the footsteps of the Ming Dynasty Neo-Confucianism...

On Mount Longhu, Huangfu Qi looked up at the sky and suddenly felt a little emotional.

The head of Xuanmen, who has not appeared in nearly ten thousand years, is now the popular choice.

Once upon a time, Gao Tiansui, who was also the Heavenly Master of Mount Longhu, was able to call the wind and rain for an era. In terms of personal realm, he was even higher than Lei Jun at the moment, but he was not worthy of the position of the head of Xuanmen.

The continuous efforts of the Ming Dynasty's emperors and ministers, as well as several generations of Neo-Confucian scholars, finally established the orthodox status of their teachings, which penetrated more deeply into the people and their daily lives.

But now all of this has come to nothing, and is currently being eradicated.

The Taoist Xuanmen had the opportunity to replace them, but also did not take the initiative to cross the line because of Lei Jun.

Regardless of what Han Zhiyuan and Zhou Mingzhe were like at the time, Gao Tiansui, Ge Xuanzhi and others were naturally top-notch masters, looking down on all living beings.

But for Master Lei, what they had been longing for seemed to be a natural outcome, except that he did not want to take it... Huangfu Qi sighed.

Like the White Lotus monks, Pixiu Kong did not wait for the ceremony to be officially over.

Seeing that Lei Jun had already gained the upper hand today, the Pixiu Demon Saint also quietly said goodbye and left.

Compared to before, after reuniting with the human world, his condition was much more stable and he gradually began to recuperate.

More importantly, he felt much calmer.

The Pixiu Demon Saint had also heard about the news about that world of demons.

But he was not as impatient as the Demon Saint Kunpeng, who was eager to get involved.

For him, recuperating in the human world now is enough.

If you have the opportunity to travel into the Abyss of Time in the future, it will be a rare experience, but there is no need to rush, and especially no need to be obsessed with it.

Watching the scene where Lei Jun blessed the ten-colored crane cover and led all the Taoist people to ascend to heaven together, the Pixiu Demon Saint felt more calm than before.

In the Three Pure Ones and Three Treasures Cave, Taoist monks, led by Lei Jun, chanted scriptures for thirty-six days.

After the ceremony was over after thirty-six days, Lei Jun led everyone out of the heavenly fairyland and returned to the human world.

Zhao Chanyang's figure had disappeared again in the white clouds.

At this time, he became clearer again, and together with Bai Mei and others, he saluted Lei Jun for the last time.

After Lei Jun returned the greeting, he went to the forbidden area of ​​the ancestral tomb in the back mountain alone.

Yuan Mobai lit incense, held a bright lamp, and waited quietly.

After Lei Jun arrived, he handed the Dharma lamp in his hand to Lei Jun. Lei Jun entered the Taoist temple alone and finally offered sacrifices to the ancestors of all generations.

After completing all this, Lei Jun, the head of the Xuanmen sect, ascended the Longhu Sect Altar in the Tianshi Mansion of Longhu Mountain on the human world and preached for three months to all the fellow Xuanmen practitioners.

He first explained the principles of heaven and earth and answered questions for his fellow practitioners. Then everyone was able to communicate freely with each other. Lei Jun also did not leave his seat and participated in it.

At this point, Zhao Chanyang finally said goodbye and left, returning to Kunlun Qingwei Heaven to continue his recuperation.

Bai Mei also returned to Kunlun Dachitian, leaving this place completely to Lei Jun.

However, Jinwu Haoyang, Zhenlong Huaming and Huangfu Qi did not leave immediately but stayed together.

Far outside the mountain, Kang Ming looked quietly in the direction of Longhu Mountain. After bowing to the mountain gate, he left quietly.

After the merger with the human world, the Huangtian Dao sect also experienced some turmoil.

Fortunately, Kang Ming had been carefully preparing over the years, so he successfully presided over the Huangtian Sect and avoided this disaster. Now he has saved some money and is hiding in the human world after the reunion.

The central location, however, returns to the East China Sea.

Kang Ming returned to the Huangtian Sect altar located in the deep ocean. Nominally he was in seclusion for meditation, but when he came out and met other Huangtian Dao practitioners again, his expression was as usual and he was calm.

Meanwhile, inside the Tianshi Mansion on Mount Longhu, at the Longhu Sect Altar, Lei Jun was preaching calmly.

For him, such things are common.

In the past, especially before he ascended to immortality, he often gave lectures at the Wanfa Sect Altar in his own Longhu Mountain, attracting countless people from all over the mansion to come and listen.

In recent years, Longhu Mountain has been full of talented people, and young masters have continued to emerge. In addition to the surge of spiritual energy from heaven and earth, the increasing abundance of natural treasures, and the stability inside and outside the sect, Lei Jun's long-term preaching and teaching is also one of the reasons.

Just like when Lei Jun taught Zhuo Baojie and Han Xiaofei before, imparting knowledge and answering questions for younger disciples is also a process of constant reflection and summary for himself.

He himself is particularly fond of studying and learning various methods.

During the days of preaching, Lei Jun could clearly feel the resonance of the great principles of heaven and earth, as if there were infinite mysteries of truth that were constantly blessing him.

Lei Jun remained calm and composed.

The ten-colored crane canopy that had newly appeared above his head became increasingly lively, bright, tall, and majestic as the five lights flowed.

“The talisman and magnetic sword skills of the top students of Tianshi Mansion have reached such a profound level that it is unforgettable and makes people admire them very much.” Zhang Taigang, the head of the East Peak of Shushan Sect, said with emotion.

After the head master gave his speech, all parties and sects had exchanges.

The predecessor of the current Shushan Sect's East Peak lineage, the Tang Dynasty Shushan Sect, also mastered the Yuanci sword-controlling technique on that day.

Up to now, after more than ten or twenty years of continuous development, a younger generation of monks have taken it as a foundation and gradually made it a force to be reckoned with.

The same is true for the Tianshi Mansion in Longhu Mountain.

This time, taking the opportunity of the headmaster giving a lecture, the two sides had a brief exchange of ideas and asked Lei Jun for guidance while communicating.

In comparison, the Yuanci sword technique of the Fulu School at the Tianshi Mansion in Longhu Mountain has developed more profoundly.

There was no partiality on Lei Jun's part in this, but it was related to the original starting points of both parties.

In terms of attack range, on average, the Talisman School's inheritance is better than the Alchemy School's, but it has never been as good as the Weapon Refining School in refining various magical instruments and treasures, especially flying swords and precious knives that can attack distant enemies while flying.

Under such circumstances, the emergence of a method like the Yuanci Flying Sword, which has an extremely excellent range, naturally attracted attention from everyone in Longhu Mountain.

Although initially this was a method nominally derived from Mount Shu, after a period of fermentation, many people's bodies became very honest about it.

Compared to Lei Jun at the beginning, what the other disciples of Tianshi Mansion really lacked and the difficulties they faced were actually more about how to lock on and aim at their enemies from a long distance.

As Lei Jun's cultivation continued to grow, especially after the previous battles in Wujian and Biluo, when he responded to the call and revealed himself to the world, the existence of his Tiantongdiche talisman could be gradually revealed.

At least, with the Heaven-Seeing and Earth-Listening Talisman, the accuracy of the Longhu Mountain disciples' Yuanci Flying Swords immediately improved significantly, and everyone made great progress.

In comparison, the Shushan Sect monks practiced the Yuanci sword-controlling technique, which was more flexible and convenient.

They originally refined their own flying swords, which had an extremely long range and could be controlled at the same time.

The existence of Yuanci Sword Control Technique has further increased the average power of their flying swords.

For Shushan sword cultivators who have reached the middle three days of cultivation, the improvement is particularly obvious.

However, in terms of the power of a sword alone, it is still not as good as that of a talisman monk of the same level.

The monks of the Tianshi Mansion in Longhu Mountain, especially those who practiced thunder magic, quickly burst out all their magic power and transformed it into the power of Yuanci. The power of the flying sword was considerable. On the other hand, there were others who were also trying hard to learn Yuanci swordsmanship.

It is exactly the lineage of Nie Fang's Xuanjiguan.

Although they are the descendants of the Longhu Mountain Tianshi Mansion and the Shushan Sect's Dongfeng lineage, these two families have always had close and frequent contacts with the Xuanji Temple.

The three parties exchanged a lot of ideas on weapon refining methods.

After obtaining permission from Longhu Mountain's Tianshi Mansion and Shushan School, Nie Fang himself is now a master of Yuanci swordsmanship.

Although their Xuanji Temple Yanshi lineage is more similar to the weapon-refining school's practice methods, it is inconvenient for them to use their souls to imbue swords like the Shushan disciples because their own souls are integrated with the mechanical magic weapons and puppets.

Therefore, the Yuanci swordsmanship of Xuanji Temple is more similar to that of Tianshi Mansion in Longhu Mountain.

Add appropriate magic tools to the mechanical magic weapon puppet, and then rely mainly on the circulation of talismans to condense the magnetic force.

Nie Fang and his disciples refined mechanical magic weapons and puppets, focusing on thunder magic. Now they are practicing Yuanci swordsmanship, which can achieve twice the result with half the effort.

Whether it is the Yuanci sword technique of the Talisman School or the Yuanci sword technique of the Weapon Refining School, they all came from Lei Jun's hands.

Giving everyone some advice at this moment will naturally benefit them a lot.

Lei Jun himself feels gratified to see that Taoism continues to develop and has successors.

When he gave lectures, he was not limited to the Taoist talisman school or the Taoist Xuanmen school.

With his current level of cultivation and comprehension, and with the blessing of the ten-colored crane canopy on all the great ways of heaven and earth, the vast majority of the principles and methods in the world are as easy to understand as reading the lines on the palm of your hand; there are no secrets at all.

The principles of the Taoist talisman school can be explained, and so can the Taoist alchemy school and the weapon refining school.

Although Lei Jun himself does not practice the methods passed down by other Taoist traditions besides Taoism, he is familiar with most of them.

They were guests who had come to attend the ceremony before, and now they stayed to listen to Lei Jun's teachings. No matter whether they were talking about Buddhism, Confucianism, witchcraft or martial arts, they were all fascinated and felt that they benefited immensely.

Even the True Dragon Hua Ming, the Golden Crow Hao Yang, Huangfu Qi and Lei Jun all felt that they had gained something from their exchanges.

It was not until the March deadline was approaching that Lei Jun ended his teachings and began to close the altar. Many people only then came to their senses and felt that they had been so engrossed before that they did not notice the passage of time.

"This time, I am honored to be the headmaster of the sect by the kindness of all my fellow Taoists."

Finally, after the guests left the mountain one after another, before the people from other sects left, Lei Jun said:
"I have no intention of interfering in the internal affairs of each sect, whether it is this poor Taoist or the Heavenly Master's Mansion of Mount Longhu. However, the current times are changing and turbulent, so I hope to join hands with fellow Taoists from all sides to jointly cope with the surging tide of the times."

Shen Xi, Mu Chunyang, Zhang Haipeng, Zhang Taigang, Jiang Yu, Nie Fang and others all responded, "Please give us your instructions, Master."

Lei Jun nodded: "The human world has merged and is initially stable. There may be more disputes in the future. We don't need to intervene too much. The most urgent task is to prepare for a rainy day.

The Abyss of Time is unstable, and on the other side there is the Demon World, a world full of evil spirits and evil atmosphere. For us, we must be on guard. "

He waved his hand, and two large talismans with flashing light flew out and landed in front of the Taoist people, with a different number for each person.

"Thank you all for your hard work in making the arrangements," Lei Junyan said.

Just like when he was preparing to merge with the human world before, Lei Jun is now spreading a large number of magic talismans everywhere.

If these talismans are to be effective, they will need to be properly refined and placed for a long time.

Therefore, for manpower considerations, in addition to the disciples of the Tianshi Mansion in Longhu Mountain, Lei Jun also arranged for people from other Taoist sects to participate.

In addition to his own practice, Lei Jun also has to be wary of Gao Tiansui and other powerful enemies that may appear.

"We will follow the Master's orders." Everyone said.

After they received the dharma tablets, they said goodbye and left one after another.

"Transform the evil spirits in this world of nine heavens and ten earths into spiritual energy of heaven and earth?" Wang Guiyuan stood beside Lei Jun.

Lei Jun: "Although in our world, the spiritual energy of heaven and earth overwhelms the evil spirit and has a clear advantage, it is far from easy to completely eliminate the evil spirit and evil spirit.

I am only making an extra preparation to supply the spiritual energy for the Three Caves and Three Days Supreme Dragon and Tiger Immortal Formation."

Wang Guiyuan shared the same sentiment: "We really need to be careful."

The ritual that Lei Jun is currently planning is basically the same as the method he used earlier in Wu Jian, which was to use the Demon Vine of the Heavens and the Ni Yuan Heart Fruit to draw out the evil spirits from the demon world and transform them into spiritual energy. It was improved from there.

It was more convenient to smoke from that side, and Lei Jun didn't feel any guilt at all.

But on the one hand, it can avoid over-stimulating the Hundred-Eyed Demon Tree and the Great Destruction Bodhisattva over there.

Secondly, even if the other party does not come to kill him personally, Lei Jun needs to prevent the source over there from being interfered with or cut off.

Therefore, we should make additional preparations at present.

"It seems that Elder Zhao of Lingshan is about to cross the threshold of fairyland." Wang Guiyuan guessed.

This time, Lingshan Witch King Huangfu Qi came in person to congratulate Lei Jun, but Wu Xian Zhao Qianran did not come.

Combined with previous news and speculation, the other party is currently at a critical moment in his climb from the Ninth Heaven Great Wizard to the level of Fairyland Wizard King. He has begun to shut himself in and ignore external affairs.

"Master Mu of Zhenwu Temple, Master Shen of Shushan South Peak, and the fathers of the three Xiao laymen should be about the same." Lei Jun: "It's hard to say who will be faster and who will be slower at the moment."

Mu Chunyang was the most well-prepared among them except for Zhao Qianran. If it were not for this Xuanmen ceremony, he might have already gone into seclusion like Zhao Qianran.

It seems like some delay, but now that the big thing has been accomplished, he is naturally excited. For Mu Chunyang, it is like sharpening the knife before chopping wood.

But he may not be able to get there first.

On the contrary, there is a dark horse that may come from behind and catch up.

Shen Xi, the head of Shushan South Peak, is a low-key person, but whether he is practicing or fighting enemies, it is like the long river of time. It seems silent, but in fact it happens in an instant.

As for Xiao Yumen, he is the most mysterious among the four.

Lei Jun had never dealt with the other party face to face.

However, both Jinwu Haoyang and Fenghuang Fengming were optimistic that the other party would gain a lot from this retreat.

The former is a fairy in the second realm of the fairyland, and the latter is a being whose personal talent and ability are even better than the Golden Crow and the True Dragon.

"Of course, speaking of this..." Lei Jun suddenly smiled: "Although Master Mu and his men are attacking the fairyland from the ninth heaven, I have a vague feeling that Fenghuang Fengming, who is going from the first to the second level of the fairyland, may be faster and take less time."

Wang Guiyuan understood: "Saint Lord Feng Ming has always been prudent and low-key, but now that he has made a stunning debut, he has no intention of restraining himself. It seems that he will continue to soar high."

There was some regret in his tone.

But Fenghuang Fengming obviously has a different style of doing things from him.

Although he had been low-key before, now that he had become the focus of many people's attention, he had no intention of remaining silent again, but just continued to practice meditation.

No matter whether it was Gao Tiansui, Wang Dianchen and others who were enemies, or Zhang Wantong, Zhao Chanyang and Tang Xiaotang who had seen Fenghuang Fengming in action, they all unanimously judged that the Phoenix Bell was the spiritual beauty of heaven and earth.

Although there is no such thing as natural, quiet, Taoist body and immortal body among spiritual beasts, if Phoenix Fengming is to be ranked, his physique, understanding and talent are at least not weaker than Tang Xiaotang, who had a Taoist body, quiet understanding and talent in the previous battle, and may even be better.

But Phoenix Fengming has never been good at fighting.

Tang Xiaotang has now sublimated her tranquility and enlightenment to the natural level in the world of demons, so everything else is a separate matter.

It has been nearly twenty years since Phoenix Fengming became an immortal.

For reference, Zhao Chanyang cultivated from the first level of the fairyland to the second level of the fairyland in twenty-one years.

Lei Jun sublimated his immortal body into Tai Chi Taoist body a little later, but he was assisted by opportunities in other aspects, so it took him twenty-one years to go from the first level of the immortal realm to the second level of the immortal realm.

Therefore, Lei Jun and Wang Guiyuan estimated that Fenghuang Fengming, who was trying to reach the second level of the fairyland, might be faster than Mu Chunyang, Shen Xi, Zhao Qianran, Xiao Yumen and others who were trying to reach the first level of the fairyland.

Considering the current situation, this is ultimately a good thing.

Although Feng Ming is not a combative person, everything goes well when they get along, making him reliable.

"Are there people coming from Huang Tiandao as well?" Wang Guiyuan said.

Lei Jun nodded: "Yes, Kang Ming came here by himself."

Wang Guiyuan sighed softly: "Alas, the case of the past has now been reduced to a small one, which is a blessing. I hope it can eventually become nothing."

Lei Jun: “I hope so too.”

Wang Guiyuan: "Your four dark stars are all in good condition and will soon gather at the ninth level of the heaven."

"Well, after returning this time, Friends Meng and Nie should both practice in seclusion. With their talents and abilities, I believe they will achieve results soon." Lei Junyan said.

Zhou Pu and Kang Ming, one a Ninth Heaven Martial Saint and the other a Ninth Heaven Taoist Master, had already achieved something.

Now the same is true for Meng Shaojie and Nie Fang.

In fact, in the next period of practice, Lei Jun was more optimistic about their stamina.

Meng Shaojie fully chronicled the rise and fall of the Ming Dynasty and personally witnessed the confluence of human affairs.

Now that the world has gradually become stable, he has accumulated a lot of wealth and can reach the ninth level.

It is not difficult to foresee that after he achieves the ninth level, he will begin to concentrate on studying history.

Considering the characteristics of the monks in the lineage of history, they would benefit greatly from the success of compilation. Not only would they make rapid progress in the practice of the Nine Heavens, but they might even benefit from their future efforts to reach the realm of Confucian sages.

Historiography originated from Confucianism, which can also be regarded as a manifestation of accumulation of strength and development over time.

And Meng Shaojie, under the guidance of Tang Emperor Zhang Wantong, developed this new inheritance together, and with the feedback from heaven and earth, his knowledge became more and more profound.

Nie Fang is similar in this respect.

The Yanshi lineage flourished in his hands, and every step forward was a breakthrough. It would also be of great benefit to Nie Fang, helping him to try to climb to a higher level of fairyland one day.

"Of course, there is no need to deny that I am the one who has benefited the most from all aspects at the moment."

Lei Jun was frank.

The colorful crane-shaped canopy above his head is shining with infinite mystery, guiding all the heavens.

He was worshipped by a group of fellow Taoists and was given a teaching which was of great benefit to Lei Jun's practice.

With the blessing of the Ten-Colored Crane Cover, he can improve his Taiweiyuan at a faster speed, fully accumulate, save him a lot of time, and then launch an attack on Ziweiyuan.
