Seeking Good Fortune and Avoiding Misfortune Starts From Tianshi Mansion

Chapter 526 525. The water is too muddy to catch fish (two chapters in one)

"Well, let's go meet up with Senior Nephew Hua Wei and the others."

Lei Jun flicked his fingers, and a stream of light fell in front of Feng Ting. The stream of light condensed into a talisman:

"This is a congratulatory gift from Master to Fellow Daoist Shen."

Feng Ting took the talisman. It seemed that the talisman was illusory, but inside it changed from real to imaginary, sealing in heavenly materials and earthly treasures.

Lei Jun did not hide it from his disciples, so Feng Ting recognized that the treasure was, strictly speaking, half born from heaven and earth, half created by man.

The real name of the treasure is Water Light, which seems illusory and illusory, between existence and non-existence. After the monks condense and collect it, it looks like a veil.

What Lei Jun sealed into the talisman was based on Shui Guang, but he also incorporated some of his own Taoist understanding into it to refine it.

At present, it is more like a semi-finished product than a raw material for some kind of weapon refining and treasure refining.

"Before you go into seclusion, Fellow Daoist Shen has decided that no matter whether he succeeds or not in overcoming the tribulation, he will leave the Day and Night Sword to the South Peak of the Shushan Sect."

Lei Jun waved his hand: "Now that he has succeeded, he should start refining a magic weapon of his own. This treasure may be able to help him."

Feng Ting responded: "Master, please rest assured, I will definitely deliver this treasure to the south peak of Shushan Mountain."

After saying goodbye to Lei Jun, Feng Ting, Qin Caiwei and others left the Tianshi Mansion in Longhu Mountain and headed to the top of Shushan Mountain.

The ceremony was held on the central rooftop.

Shen Xi's great freedom is a great joy for the entire Shushan sect, not just Nanfeng's family.

Although Bai Mei, the founder of the Weapon Refining Sect, is still around, the founder's actions are too casual, which makes everyone in the Shushan Sect helpless and often feel regretful.

Now that Shen Xi has opened the gate of immortality and has great freedom, the Shushan sect actually has a fairyland master in this era.

Although Shen Xi is also very carefree on weekdays, compared to Bai Mei, the situation is much better after all.

Feng Ting and Qin Caiwei were slightly junior, but after arriving at the top of Shushan Mountain, Shen Xi, together with Dongfeng leader Zhang Taigang and other Shushan masters, personally received them.

After receiving a private gift from Lei Jun, Shen Xi's eyes lit up when he saw the water flowing through a "processing" procedure.

After he carefully thought about it for a while, he accepted it with great care and said: "The headmaster has given me a generous gift, and Chen Xi has a profound sense of it."

Feng Ting hurriedly responded to the ceremony on behalf of his mentor: "Shen Zhenjun's words are serious. I only wish that my senior's practice will go smoothly and he will make great progress with each passing day."

Lei Jun is not like Shen Xi who has the immortal body of Zhouguang, nor is he like Xu Yuanzhen who has the Taoist body of Taishi.

But with his current level of cultivation and strength, he also has a relatively deep understanding and study of the mysterious principles of time and space.

He refined the water light and incorporated it into the artistic conception of time.

Shen Xi possesses the bones of the Zhouguang Immortal Body, but his current level of cultivation is different from Lei Jun's.

Therefore, what Lei Jun taught is also of great use to Shen Xi.

He has left his morning and evening sword to the south peak of Shushan Mountain.

Those who become immortals in the Taoist weapon-refining sect are called Daxiaoyao, also known as heavenly immortals. Those who achieve success can travel around Taixu and cross the sea of ​​stars with ease.

His soul has now completely transformed from real to virtual, thus ignoring the attacks of most monks from all walks of life in the world.

With similar cultivation levels, only a very few special methods could harm Da Xiaoyao of the Taoist Weapon Refining Sect.

At such a state, the natal magic weapon will be transformed into the treasure of Taixu along with its owner after subsequent sacrifices and refining.

In particular, Shen Xi's lifelong cultivation has been spent on a day and night sword, which is a matter of course.

But Chen Xi gave up and decided to leave the Morning and Night Sword to the south peak of Shushan Mountain for future generations.

It is said that the South Peak of Shushan Mountain has always been the inheritance of the Shushan sect with the least mountain treasures.

Although the purple and green swords are enshrined at the top of Zhongfeng, there are still four swords inherited as treasures in Dongfeng, which is controlled by the Tang Dynasty.

If Beifeng, which is controlled by the Han lineage, is included in the Jiuxiao Yuanyang Ruler, one of the six treasures that were founded in the early years, there are currently a total of five top magic weapons.

Xifeng from the Ming Dynasty and Nanfeng from the Southern Jin Dynasty were in the same boat in their early years. Their respective situations in the human world were not good. There was a huge thing pressing down on their heads, so they could only survive cautiously.

But Xifeng currently has six treasures in his possession, including the Qiankun Sun and Moon Pot.

The previous quantity in Nanfeng was... two pieces.

This is still counting Taiyi Huachang, one of the founding treasures.

Another treasure was sacrificed by the senior masters of the Shushan sect in the Southern Jin Dynasty. It is called the Liyan Zhenguang Banner. It fully integrates the secrets of the Shushan lineage about the Lihuo of the Southern Ming Dynasty. It has both internal and external effects and can be harvested into a "furnace" to assist in the refinement. When the weapon is placed, it will serve as light to protect the enemy from the outside.

Now that the Shushan sect has returned to its sect, Taiyi Huashang and the purple and green swords are both enshrined on the top of Zhongfeng Xiaoding and will never leave the mountain.

On the south peak, only the Liyan Zhenguang flag remained.

This is partly because among the several lines of Shushan sect inheritance, the Southern Jin lineage has the shortest inheritance time since the human world was divided.

On the other hand, it was also because they were in a worrying situation in the two Jin worlds and had to keep a low profile for a long time. Many treasures and opportunities were unable to be obtained.

So Shen Xi ascended to immortality this time and left behind his day and night sword.

After the disciples of the younger generation warmed it up and refined it, the sword became the second inherited treasure of Nanfeng.

Just like the twin swords of Bai Mei and Ziqing in the past, Shen Xi will use the Morning and Night Sword in the future. It will also have the power of the natal magic weapon, but it will not be as powerful as the ultimate treasure of the fairyland when he practices it again as a great free and easy immortal. In the future, whether the Morning and Night Sword is lost or broken, it will not be the same. It affected Shen Xi, but since Shen Xi left this sword behind, he would never use it again.

And next, he will refining a brand new natal magic sword for himself just like Bai Mei sacrificed and refined the Galaxy Sword.

This requires not only his own time and energy, but also the right materials.

Lei Jun's special water flow light is just what he needs.

"There is something I want to tell the headmaster."

Shen Xi collected the water flow light, and told the disciples of the South Peak of Shushan Sect to present a return gift. At the same time, he talked to Feng Ting:

"I want to resign from the position of the head of our sect and practice meditation. I will first report the relevant matters to the headmaster."

Feng Ting was not particularly surprised by this.

Earlier in Longhu Mountain, he heard his master Lei Jun and his brothers and sisters talking about this.

Shen Xi is a natural talent. He is the first master of the Taoist weapon refining school outside the White Eyebrow Patriarch in the world today. At the same time, he is also the first weapon refining school cultivator to enter the fairyland and open the fairy gate since the great catastrophe at the end of the Han Dynasty.

But he himself does not have much desire for power.

His temperament is similar to that of the ancestor Bai Mei, and he is more interested in traveling around the world.

When he took over the Shushan Sect in Southern Jin, it was more because the competent ones took the position, and he had to shoulder that burden for his master and fellow disciples.

Entering Penglai and even participating in the Taoist Kingdom of the World was also for the survival of his mentor Gongsun Daoqi and other fellow disciples in Southern Jin.

Now, all the past things are naturally no longer a problem.

Shen Xi's own cultivation has also made great progress and continued to improve.

For him, he can now step down as the head of the Shushan South Peak.

Shen Xi is not going to leave just like that, nor is he retreating to seek the position of the co-master of a holy land like the Palace Master of Chunyang Palace, Jiang Yu.

Zhang Taigang, Chen Lingfeng, Yuan Qingci and others all know this.

So much so that everyone is still reluctant to let Shen Xi step down.

However, people in the fairyland are gradually interfering in human affairs. Whether it is the Taoist monks led by Lei Jun, Bai Mei and others, there is also news from the witch sect. Wu Xian Zhao Qianran, who is also attacking the fairyland, also intends to stay away from the affairs of the human world after success, just like the current Lingshan Witch King Huangfu Qi.

Shen Xi obviously made the same decision at the moment.

"The True Lord ordered me to send a message back to the mountain immediately and report to my master." Feng Ting replied: "But my master has always said that each sect can decide its own internal affairs."

Shen Xi: "The master is magnanimous and righteous, and the world knows it."

He looked at Qin Caiwei on the side again: "Here I also wish Elder Qin to achieve Mahayana high truth as soon as possible."

Qin Caiwei: "Thank you for the good words from the True Lord."

She has reached the fourth level of perfection in the eighth heaven for many years. In recent years, she has been calm and accumulated without rushing, and gradually feels that it is a natural thing.

After coming to Shushan to watch the ceremony, Qin Caiwei returned to the Tianshi Mansion in Longhushan and was determined to try to reach the Nine Heavens Mahayana realm.

Except for a few people, no one knew about her relationship with Bai Mei, and the Shushan monks present at the scene also did not know the truth.

Qin Caiwei herself would certainly not publicize it.

To be honest, she had been less active with Bai Mei in recent years, and without a Taoist master who often took care of her and gave her advice, Qin Caiwei's cultivation speed was slightly slower than before.

But she did not let this affect her mentality, and she continued to practice in peace.

After Shen Xi received Feng Ting and Qin Caiwei, he received other guests.

Among those who arrived at the top of the sky a little later than Shen Xi and the others was Nie Fang, the master of Xuanji Temple, who was familiar with Qin Caiwei.

The young master Nie was now in a period of high spirits.

Personally, he successfully ended the old grudge between Nie Zhongjie and Nie Song.

As for Yu Gong, he himself successfully reached the ninth heaven Taoist Mahayana realm. In addition to the improvement of his cultivation strength, it also marked that the Xuanji Temple under his rule had a higher momentum and truly had the style of the fourth holy land of Taoism in this world.

After the confluence of the human world, the territory was vast and the population was more than before. Xuanji Temple is currently thriving. Catching up with this trend, it has developed faster.

For Yu Niefang personally, in addition to continuing to carry forward the Taoist Yanshi lineage and the inheritance of Xuanji Temple, he is also participating in the pursuit of the old Ming Dynasty Neo-Confucian monks.

The Taoism is strong, and the major dynasties have reached a consensus in this regard, causing Neo-Confucian monks to gradually decline and begin to cooperate with other suppressed forces.

Previously, the remaining ministers of the Ming Dynasty cooperated with Youyin, Lianshan, the Karma Tribe of the Vajra Realm, and the alien forces of the grassland.

"All those who participated in the Mochi Sacrifice were basically caught and killed, with only one big fish escaping the net."

Nie Fang also participated in the battle at the beginning, and now he talked about this with Feng Ting and Qin Caiwei:

"His name is Chang Chong, and he seems to be a visitor from Youyin. He is quite alert. Although he is one of the masterminds, he did not show up at the specific arrangement and the place where the ritual was triggered, and then he fled after hearing the news."

Qin Caiwei: "I heard that people from the Wu Party and the Chu Party of the Ming Dynasty showed up this time. Did they join forces?"

Nie Fang: "More of them are Chang Chong, Xiao Jing, and Jadila, but the leader of the Wu Party, Chao Feng, showed up in person, and the leader of the Chu Party, Zhou Mingzhe, also had his confidants present."

When the Nie family left Tianli and joined the Ming Dynasty, they attached themselves to Zhou Mingzhe and the Chu Party.

Nie Song even became one of Zhou Mingzhe's direct disciples.

But they are all dead now.

Nie Fang and Zhou Mingzhe have no personal grudges, but the other party can be regarded as the last huge bastion of the ancient Ming Neo-Confucianism.

Of course, compared to them conquering the fortress, Zhou Mingzhe himself would be more urgent.

The human world merged, the dragon vein of the Ming Dynasty and the talent of Neo-Confucianism no longer matched, and Zhou Mingzhe had little time left.

He was old.

The higher the level of Neo-Confucianism, the greater the difficulty in this regard.

Meng Shaojie also came to watch the ceremony.

He came on behalf of the Tang court imperial family. He did not have a deep friendship with Shen Xi and did not have much contact with him.

But at this moment, seeing Shen Xi become an immortal, Meng Shaojie felt a lot of emotion in his heart.

In the ups and downs of the times, some people stand out, but I don’t know how many people are buried.

Meng Shaojie is currently focusing on compiling the history of the Ming Dynasty, but he also sees all kinds of things in the world outside the Ming Dynasty.

The great changes in the world are of great benefit to his practice, but being in it, Meng Shaojie feels more about his own insignificance.

With such ups and downs, perhaps only a few people like Master Lei and His Majesty can jump out of the torrent... Meng Shaojie felt emotional.

He thought of Xiao Chunhui, who was both his teacher and friend.

Although the other party was in the torrent, he was calm. In order to study his own knowledge, he did not hesitate to take the initiative to leave the familiar and relatively safe world of Nine Heavens and Ten Earths and go to the world of Confucianism to face a more unpredictable and unknown fate.

Fortunately, the news sent back recently sounded a little reassuring.

…………………………

In the world of Confucianism.

Xiao Chunhui, who was missed by Meng Shaojie, Xiao Xueting, Xiao Hang and others, was in a good situation.

Under the bright spring light, he lived in a courtyard in the mountains, reading quietly.

The sun was setting in the sky.

But there was no dusk in the courtyard where Xiao Chunhui lived, and the spring light was always good.

It was not until he put down the book in his hand and stood up to stretch his muscles that the sunlight in the courtyard suddenly faded and turned into sunset in the sky.

Xiao Chunhui called the book boy: "Sir, do you have a visitor now?"

The book boy: "Yes, the master of Shuofeng Mountain in Yanzhao came to visit."

Xiao Chunhui nodded gently.

Lian Feng, the master of Shuofeng Mountain, is the current leader of the new Confucianism in Yanzhao. He was a disciple of the deceased former saint Cheng He and inherited his mantle. At present, he is a Confucian saint who has achieved the three immortals, just like the later saint Yan Aoyun. His reputation and influence in the new school of Confucianism is second only to Yan Aoyun.

The relationship between the later sage Yan Aoyun and the former sage Cheng He was quite harmonious. Together, they laid the foundation of the new Confucianism in the world today. Yan Aoyun and the master of Shuofeng Mountain Lian Feng knew each other in their early years, and the two sides often exchanged knowledge.

But that was limited to private friendship. There were considerable differences in public concepts.

Lian Feng advocated the importance of both education and law, and believed in the words of the ancient sage: "There will be a king in five hundred years, and there will be a famous person in the meantime."

Although he never preached publicly, Xiao Chunhui had heard about it when he came here. When Gao Tiansui was in the Confucian world, he had close contacts with Lian Feng.

The old members of the Tiangong may have like-minded people in this world.

It was because of Gao Tiansui's arrival that the rift between Yan Aoyun and Lian Feng became larger and larger, and even the contradiction gradually became public.

Even now that the dispute between the old and new Confucianism is becoming more and more intense, there has begun to be a split within the new Confucianism.

Yan Aoyun mainly focuses on Wu Hailin, the leader of the old Confucian school. In recent years, Zhang Wantong and Lian Feng have dealt more.

In the past two years, the extraterritorial demons have made a comeback, which has slightly cooled the dispute between the old and new Confucian schools.

Wu Hailin and Yan Aoyun temporarily slowed down their tit-for-tat situation and were more wary of the extraterritorial demons.

Xiao Chunhui also successfully got Zhang Wantong's introduction to study under Yan Aoyun.

However, after the conflict between the new and old schools eased slightly, the new school split and became more and more turbulent.

It is rumored that the old school is also not peaceful.

Later, the book boy came to Xiao Chunhui again, and Xiao Chunhui followed him to see Yan Aoyun.

Lian Feng, the master of Shufeng Mountain, has left.

Yan Aoyun sat alone in the room.

He looked like a middle-aged man in his forties. He was not very impressive. He lived in a humble room. He was very reserved. It was hard to tell that he was a Confucian king who had reached the third level of the fairyland.

"Sir." Xiao Chunhui stepped forward to salute.

Yan Aoyun smiled and asked him to sit down.

He did not mention Lian Feng, who had just visited him. He tested Xiao Chunhui's knowledge as usual. At the end, he smiled and said, "Good, good, the atmosphere is gradually becoming better."

Xiao Chunhui: "This is all the credit of the two gentlemen."

In addition to Yan Aoyun, he has benefited a lot from Zhang Wantong.

In this world of Confucian scholars, there is no Tang Emperor Zhang Wantong, but Tianrui Lay Scholar Zhang Wantong. He not only does not mind this, but is calm. Xiao Chunhui also follows the local customs.

"It's good to be modest, but if it's the credit of the two of us, we should be the ones to do this research, but it's obviously not the case now." Yan Aoyun smiled.

Xiao Chunhui: "With your talent, you are good at all kinds of knowledge, but you are busy for the people and never have a rest."

Yan Aoyun: "Peace of mind is a rest, no need to worry."

Xiao Chunhui: "The threat of the demons from outside the domain is gradually disappearing... Will you go west again?"

Yan Aoyun stood up: "This is how the world works, let's talk more."

Xiao Chunhui sent him away.

He didn't need to contact Zhang Wantong again.

Yan Aoyun would communicate with Zhang Wantong himself on related matters, and Xiao Chunhui was not a bridge between the two.

However, after Xiao Chunhui returned to his own courtyard, he did not open the book again.

In the twilight, he quietly looked at the sky in the distance and sorted out his thoughts.

In the world of nine heavens and ten earths, Gao Tian has never appeared in public since he merged with the human world, and his whereabouts are unknown.

But he may have had contact with Lian Feng, the master of Shuofeng Mountain recently...Xiao Chunhui thought silently in his heart.

…………………………

In the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, Lei Jun also received a notice from Senior Sister Xu Yuanzhen.

Over there, Zhang Wantong had communicated with Xu Yuanzhen.

"Before the situation of the dispute between the new and old schools is completely clear, they should not make any big moves." Lei Jun pondered: "Even if the outer demons are coming, the descendants of the Demon Buddha lineage will still invade the Confucian world through the Abyss of Time. Although there is a saying of taking advantage of the situation, it is too chaotic over there at the moment."

Xu Yuanzhen chuckled: "It may not be completely chaotic."

Lei Jun: "Any new discoveries?"

Xu Yuanzhen: "The so-called outer demons are coming again. We have dealt with them face to face this time.

They are not from that demon. world, but the changes of the Buddhist disciples over there who were twisted and possessed by demons may have the same origin as him. "

Lei Jun listened to the voice coming from the Tiantong Diche Falu, and raised his eyebrows slightly: "Is that so..."

He pondered for a moment and said: "If so, we should be more cautious. The Hundred-Eyed Demon Tree was originally transformed by the Thousand-Handed Thousand-Eyed Great Venerable of the Third Level of the Buddhist Golden Body."

The Thousand-Handed Thousand-Eyed Great Venerable must have had a big problem at the beginning, which gave people an opportunity to take advantage of it. Otherwise, even if it was a fairy Buddha at the level of Dongzhen, who could suppress or kill him, he would not be twisted into that appearance.

But the lessons learned from the past are still worth the vigilance of later generations.

Xu Yuanzhen: "Well, it's okay. I'll have a chance later and take a closer look."

Lei Jun understood: "Senior sister has made plans for Dongxuan Taiwei? What about junior sister?"

Xu Yuanzhen: "Xiaotang has already retreated. I have a different path from her. There is no rush now. I can study something else during this period."

Lei Jun: "I wish you success. It's not peaceful over there. If you need it, come back first, or someone from our side will go there."

After the call ended, Lei Jun sat in the Three Pure Three Treasures Cave Heaven and thought carefully.

Later, a golden light suddenly flew into the cave heaven.

In the golden light, there was a five-color true phoenix. Compared with the real phoenix, this five-color true phoenix that flew into the Three Pure Three Treasures Cave Heaven looked exactly the same, but its temperament seemed a bit anxious.

After entering the cave heaven, seeing Lei Jun was in deep thought, she immediately retracted her wings and dared not make any more noise.

"Why do you look like this every day now?" Lei Jun asked first.

The phoenix shrank her neck in a very destructive way: "Big Brother has been getting along well with the Holy Master Fengming recently."

As she spoke, her figure changed from a colorful phoenix flashing with golden light to a slender purple-robed female nun, who was Lei Jun's second disciple Han Xiaofei.

After returning to human form, she saluted her master in a proper manner.

Lei Jun felt a little amused for a while.

Fengming, the phoenix, admired Zhuo Baojie very much, and he naturally knew about this.

But his second disciple's idea was very unique.

In order to take advantage of her big brother, she also turned into a phoenix to seek close contact?

However, Han Xiaofei rushed to see her master in a hurry this time, obviously for other things.

After the formal greeting, she immediately said eagerly: "Master, senior brother...senior brother may have a disciple!"

Lei Jun smiled and said: "Good news!"

Even without the Jade Purity Zhoutian Magic Mirror, he can now roughly see the world, not to mention that Zhuo Baojie still has his talisman.

Although Lei Jun has no intention of taking everything in the world into his own eyes, let alone always keeping an eye on his eldest disciple, but when Zhuo Baojie is connected with others, Lei Jun naturally has some sense.

But it is limited to knowing, and he will not interfere if there is no big problem.

Just knowing this news makes Lei Jun quite emotional:

Will I also become a master?

When Han Xiaofei came to inform him, Zhuo Baojie was returning to the mountain and handed a child to the Taoist Children's Court at the foot of the mountain, while he went to the Three Pure Three Treasures Cave Heaven to meet his mentor Lei Jun.

Entering the Taoist Children's Court does not mean that you can definitely become a true disciple of the Tianshi Mansion through transmission.

However, as the first disciple of the contemporary Tianshi Lei Jun, Zhuo Baojie's first time to lead people back to the mountain to enter Taoism immediately became news.

Coincidentally, on the same day, Xin Beiyuan, another high-level elder of Longhu Mountain, also brought back a child after going out.

When he arrived at the Taoist Children's Court, he was surprised to hear that Zhuo Baojie followed him.

However, after being surprised, he quickly regained his composure and handed the child he led back to the Taoist Children's Court.
