Seeking Good Fortune and Avoiding Misfortune Starts From Tianshi Mansion

Chapter 542 Chapter 541. The Passion of Master Lei Tian (two chapters in one)

"Disciple, please follow Master's teachings." Zhuo Baojie said.

After the master and apprentice chatted for a while, Lei Jun said: "During this period, you traveled between the two worlds and stayed longer in the Confucian Academy. When you come back from this trip, you can simply relinquish your duties as the patrol elder." ”

Generally speaking, the dispatch of patrol elders is also changed every three years.

However, he can step down or be re-elected as needed, so Zhuo Baojie has been serving as the patrol elder for a long time.

At the same time, he also represented the Longhu Mountain Tianshi Mansion and often dealt with other monks from various places during this period.

"Let's take off the errands this time. There's nothing else to do. Apart from teaching Xu Wu, I just practice hard by myself on weekdays."

Lei Jun ordered: "Later, go to the mansion to re-familiarize yourself with the environment and current internal and external affairs."

When Zhuo Baojie heard this, his heart moved and he looked up at Lei Jun: "Master..."

Lei Jun smiled and said: "Being a teacher actually doesn't matter. You and the other people in the house can start anytime when you are ready. But since you all like to say that being a teacher is time stamped, then this time, be a teacher and step on it deliberately." , it will take a hundred years, so you have to wait patiently for another six years.”

Zhuo Baojie: "Master, you can break this disciple. You and the family have a destiny, and I will do my best, but I think you don't need to be so anxious."

Lei Jun: "As a master, I have no intention of interfering with human affairs. It is you who have been taking care of the house these years. There is nothing wrong with it. In this case, of course, there is no need to occupy the position of heavenly master again. It should be passed on to the successors."

Zhuo Baojie saluted: "Disciples must follow the example of their mentor and support his disciples with all their heart."

Lei Jun smiled and said: "I will go to the Deacon Hall later. Let me help your junior sister first."

Zhuo Baojie blinked: "Did you really send the Second Junior Sister to guard the Deacon Hall?"

He had heard about it before returning from the world of Confucianism.

Han Xiaofei, a fellow disciple of the same sect as him, successfully survived the catastrophe between the eighth and ninth heavens, and achieved the Mahayana realm of the ninth heaven of the Taoist Fulu Sect.

After Zhuo Baojie, Qin Caiwei, and Xin Beiyuan, the Longhu Mountain Tianshi Mansion added another Nine-layer Heavenly Mahayana Gaozhen.

And Zhuo Baojie has heard that although he is a little slower than Han Xiaofei, Cheng Rongrong has also been in retreat recently. He thinks that he will also launch an attack on the disaster between the eighth and ninth heavens.

As an adult, Han Xiaofei is more calm than before, but she still seems a little out of touch from time to time.

It was okay for her to sit in the seat next to her, but if it was one of the two positions of tutor in the Taoist Academy and elder on duty in the Deacon Hall, Zhuo Baojie was really upset after hearing this.

As for the former, Han Xiaofei's lectures are of course satisfactory, but it is hard to say whether they will bias the next generation of Tianshi Mansion's flowers.

As for the latter, it is not that important when it comes to various affairs in the house, but they are numerous, vast, detailed and dense.

Lei Jun: "Some training is indispensable. She generally has a sense of proportion. You can just help her."

Zhuo Baojie: "Yes, I will obey my master's teachings."

The master and apprentice chatted for a few more words, and then Zhuo Baojie excused himself and left.

Lei Jun was the only one left around the Wanfa Sect Altar.

Suddenly, there was a celestial and earth-purifying dharma urn flashing around him, and then a voice came from it:

"Junior brother, do you intend to make it a rule from now on that the Heavenly Master's reign lasts for a hundred years?"

Lei Jun shook his head: "How could it be? Of course those who come after me can be like me, even if it is more than a hundred years ago, it doesn't matter. The descendants of future generations have their own ideas, and I am only responsible for my own decision."

He turned to Wang Guiyuan and asked: "Senior brother, what do you think of the recent changes in Neo-Confucianism?"

Wang Guiyuan said: "As you said, it is too early to make a conclusion.

However... the lineage of Confucianism and Neo-Confucianism may be about to produce a saint. "

Zheng Baiyu is willing to accept the rest of Neo-Confucianism, and he must have gained something.

But in comparison, Zhou Mingzhe, Chao Feng and others need him more.

The monarch who pushed open the gate of immortality could not only help Zhou Mingzhe and Chao Feng re-establish a stable framework of Neo-Confucianism, patriarchal rituals, and etiquette, but also open up the upper limit for them.

In the past, Chen Yu and Zhou Mingzhe worked hard for many years but failed to achieve the consecration of the site. Now the problem may be solved.

The framework of Neo-Confucianism's patriarchal ritual system has been rebuilt and stabilized. These Neo-Confucian scholars, who are old but also at a high level, are no longer troubled by aging and decay, and once again have the possibility and hope of further advancement.

Lei Jun nodded slightly and agreed with Wang Guiyuan's judgment.

Wang Guiyuan pondered for a moment and then spoke: "The generation of Huajie's nephew is finally settled. The generation of Xu Wu and Xu Hai..."

Lei Jun: "Everyone's path needs to be walked by themselves. They may encounter the same or different problems. We can teach them some things, but they still have to decide the final direction."

From within the Dharma urn, Wang Guiyuan let out a sigh.

An Buzheng is the direct disciple of Zhuo Baojie, and is about to become the direct disciple of the new generation of Tianshi. Currently, he is even the only one.

He is Lei Jun's direct disciple and grandson. He possesses the same immortal body as Lei Jun before. Even now he is quite tall as an adult.

In the eyes of many people, he closely resembles his master Lei Jun, as if he is a God-given successor to the mantle of the future, more suitable than his master Zhuo Baojie.

Countless people are optimistic that he will become the leader of the new generation of Tianshi Mansion in the future, and even the next Tianshi after Zhuo Baojie.

There are also countless people who take it for granted that he will be the successor that Lei Jun is very optimistic about and even prefers.

Does Headmaster Lei look at An Buzheng as he looked at himself when he was young?

A few people even secretly speculated that regardless of whether Elder Zhuo was lucky or thoughtful, it was precisely because of such a disciple who was so admired and loved by Lei Jun that the final decision was made for Zhuo Baojie to take over as the new Celestial Master.

But like Wang Guiyuan, those who have more contact with Lei Jun and An Buzheng realize that the two may have a lot in common on the outside, but they are actually very different on the inside.

To some extreme, they are not the same people at all.

In terms of inner temperament, Zhuo Baojie is the successor similar to Lei Jun.

In fact, Chi Haifeng is more like Lei Jun than An Buzheng in this regard.

Although he looks more showy and casual than Lei Jun on the outside, more like Tang Xiaotang and Xu Yuanzhen, Chi Haifeng's views on spiritual practice and the position of a heavenly master are basically the same as Lei Jun's.

Wandering in the ocean of spiritual practice and Taoism makes them sincerely happy and immersed in it, full of curiosity and desire to explore all things in the world.

As for the position of Heavenly Master and the invincible posture, they don't take it seriously.

But now that they have entered Longhu Mountain, if the government needs it, they will simply take up this burden.

But An Buzheng was different.

Since he was a teenager, he has had a strong competitive spirit and self-esteem.

It has always been his goal to lead the group and dominate the world, but he is not so aggressive. This is mainly reflected in the fact that he always expects himself to be the best, the best of the best.

But his competitive spirit and self-esteem are not as overt as Tang Xiaotang's, nor as easy to take up and let go as Tang Xiaotang's. Instead, he is restrained and deep.

Such traits are not unfamiliar to Lei Jun and Wang Guiyuan. An old friend they know well has similar traits.

An old friend who has been forgotten by the current era and most people.

The only son of the former Celestial Master Li Qingfeng, the former Young Celestial Master and Senior Brother of Longhu Mountain, Li Zhengxuan.

Of course, compared to this similar trait, the two sides have more differences.

Regardless of his cultivation or talent base, An Buzheng is a comprehensively upgraded version of Li Zhengxuan, far better than his opponent.

His life background and the current internal and external environment of Tianshi Mansion are completely different.

Although An Buzheng is competitive and thoughtful, compared to the original Li Zhengxuan, he is still too positive.

The only small problem is that they are competitive and face the same situation among the disciples of the same generation.

Li Zhengxuan bore the title of Shaotianshi, but Xu Yuanzhen kept suppressing him. From behind, Tang Xiaotang rose up almost like thunder from the ground, approaching step by step.

And An Buzheng now has to face the problems that Chi Haifeng has been pressing on him.

As time goes by, this gap may even increase.

"It's very similar, but different after all."

Lei Junyan said: "So far, Xuwu has done very well, and Huajie, the master, has also done very well."

He didn't mind that his direct descendants were not on the same side as him.

There is nothing wrong with being competitive.

Competitive people can also be great.

Competitive people are equally likely to inherit the mantle of his lineage.

Everyone is different and everyone has their own ambitions.

You have to walk your own path.

To put it bluntly, Lei Jun is not here anymore, but he is still here. If there are really unworthy descendants, just clean up the family.

It's just that as a teacher, he will also do what he should say and do what he should do.

Therefore, both Lei Jun and Zhuo Baojie were paying close attention to An Buzheng.

It's just that Lei Jun has never been interested in using his disciple as a clay figurine and then making one out of himself.

Just like the Taoist name Zhuo Baojie gave An Buzheng, An Xuwu?

"It's rare to find a piece of good material, but I still hope it can become a great tool." Wang Guiyuan sighed.

Lei Jun: "Senior Brother, your teaching is very serious, and it is not in line with your Buddhist practice."

"I am a Taoist priest now." Wang Guiyuan said, "But I will become a monk again soon."

Lei Jun: "Oh? I just said that good things are coming for you."

Wang Guiyuan: "First retreat and meditate. Everything else is still out of the question."

Lei Jun turned a deaf ear to what he said and just said: "First of all, senior brother, I wish you success and achieve the second level of the Buddhist Buddhist body."

Wang Guiyuan continued to retreat in Wujianzhong.

Although he is in seclusion, there is always peace, and there will be no disasters again.

It's just that the Abyss of Time is currently located in Wujian.

Fortunately, Chu Kun had recently planned to return to the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths.

During this period of time, he not only traveled to the world of demons, but also made many trips to the world of scholars, traveling to and from various places in the Abyss of Time, and successfully laid the foundation for his new private land.

Recently, he happened to return here to meditate for a period of time, but he did not need to go into seclusion like Wang Guiyuan, and his meditative practice was still closely related to the Abyss of Simultaneity.

Therefore, Chu Kun did not return to the human world. Wang Guiyuan, who happened to be his successor, was staring at Shi Zhiyuan. Wang Guiyuan waited for the other party to come back and then began to formally retreat.

Lei Jun also formally stated with everyone else in the Tianshi Mansion that he would pass on the position of leader to his disciple Zhuo Baojie in the coming years.

Because of some earlier news, other students were already mentally prepared for this matter, so they were not surprised at this time.

A few people who advised Lei Jun had no objection to Zhuo Baojie taking over. They just hoped that Lei Jun could stay in power longer and there was no need to rush the matter.

Although today is different from the past, Lei Jun, as the Celestial Master, rarely interferes with the affairs of the mansion, and everything in the mansion is still running normally.

But whether the position of Tianshi is Lei Jun or someone else has different meanings after all.

When the news spread to the outside world, people in other places were even more concerned about the next handover of the position of Heavenly Master.

Time flies.

Six years passed in a blink of an eye.

This summer, Lei Jun celebrated his 160th birthday.

Considering that January 15th next year will be the date for the new enshrinement ceremony, Lei Jun has no intention of merging the arrangements or rescheduling the enshrinement ceremony.

Therefore, it was decided to officially hold the Hearing Ceremony on July 15th of this summer.

Lei Jun, the 36th Celestial Master of Longhu Mountain, who has been in charge of the Celestial Master's Mansion for a hundred years, will officially relinquish his position as Celestial Master and spread the news to fellow practitioners from all over the world to watch the ceremony and bear witness.

When the news came out, the clouds moved in all directions. Representatives from all over the country rushed to Longhu Mountain early to participate in the grand event.

The person who took over the reins of the Tianshi Mansion was Elder Zhuo Baojie Zhuo, the disciple of Headmaster Lei.

As of today, his cultivation has reached the fourth level of the Nine Heavens. He is only one step away from completing the Nine Heavens Mahayana and completing the Five Qi Chaoxuan. He is the number one master in the human world under the Immortal Realm of the Tianshi Mansion in Longhu Mountain.

The grand ceremony is approaching, and Elder Zhuo needs to follow Master Lei, who is still a heavenly master, and worship the ancestors of his sect at the ancestral mausoleum in Houshan.

Headmaster Lei's two remaining disciples, Han Xiaofei and Feng Ting, as well as Zhuo Baojie's own disciple An Buzheng, are mainly responsible for welcoming and sending out guests.

Needless to say about the Taoist sect, two Taoist sect immortals, Shen Xi and Mu Chunyang, were present.

In addition, Jiang Yu, Zhang Taigang, Ji Chuan, Yuan Qingci, Zhang Haipeng and other monks from Shushan and Chunyang Palace all came to congratulate him, not to mention Nie Fang, the master of Xuanji Temple.

In terms of Buddhism, a number of eminent monks including the abbot Xinguan of Xuantian Temple, the abbot Ruyuan of Bodhi Temple, and the abbot Miaoxin of Tianlong Temple came together.

As for the Witch Sect, three fairyland wizard kings visited at once.

After Yun Mobai and Chu Kun became immortals, Sun Li and Li Tianqing also successfully crossed the natural chasm.

Sun Li is both the elder of Samsara Yuan and one of the ten witches of Lingshan.

Under his leadership, although the various lines of witchcraft inheritance that had been dispersed due to the separation of human beings did not merge like the Taoist and Buddhist holy places, they are now much closer.

Therefore, Zhao Qianran, Sun Li, and Li Tianqing came together this time.

As for the Lingshan Wumen, there are also great witches such as Lei Lei coming.

The people who came with Li Tianqing were Li Jin, Li Ying and other top witches among the Jiuli clan of Dihai.

Nowadays, the human world has merged, and it has gradually become a common thing for the people of Jiuli to be able to walk in the sun.

However, due to historical reasons, there are still few direct contacts between the people of Jiuli and the common people in the world.

It is even more rare for so many Jiuli leaders to travel together to the same place like today.

The second disciple of Master Lei, Han Xiaofei, Elder Han behaved appropriately and courteously in such a formal occasion, and his appearance was undeniably high-spirited and sincere, like a fairy, leaving no one with the slightest problem.

But after Sun Li, Zhao Qianran, and Li Tianqing were received by the master Yuan Mobai personally, and other Wumen people, especially the people of Jiuli in the Earth Sea, entered, Han Xiaofei, who stayed outside, quietly sent a message to Cheng Rongrong, who was also outside and was responsible for keeping track of the guests:

"Senior Sister, it is rare for the clan leaders of Jiuli in the Dijie to go out to the sea of ​​​​the earth together. This trip is specifically to attend the succession ceremony of senior brother. Could it be related to the legend of Shan Pi and Chi You?"

The big tail was tucked behind its back, silently dodging the hand that the other party quietly stretched out. The elder red panda with conspicuous red-brown hair acted as if nothing had happened:

"Senior Brother Zhuo is not here at the moment. You can try asking other elders for advice on this issue."

Who else can I ask?

Master?

Han Xiaofei felt there was little hope.

The master has a better temper than the senior brother, but let alone the fact that he has become an immortal, the master can easily make others lose their temper...

Inexplicable crooked thoughts were running through his mind, but on his face, they did not affect Elder Han's noble image at this moment as he welcomed the new guests and congratulated him.

"Elder Han." The visitor was dressed in casual clothes and tall. The warrior had a strong body but restrained aura.

Han Xiaofei stepped forward to greet him and said: "His Majesty the Emperor of Han is here in person, and the flowers on Longhu Mountain are shining brightly."

Emperor Xiang Sheng of the Han Dynasty said: "No, I am here today specifically to congratulate you on the grand event of Longhu Mountain."

Behind him, Ouyang Jingyuan, Fang Junmei, Li Feiyang, Wang Jijiu and others all came forward to greet Han Xiaofei.

Before everyone could talk more, another group of guests were picked up by Cheng Rongrong and arrived at the gate of Longhu Mountain.

Xiang Sheng's expression did not change, he just glanced at the other party calmly.

The person who came was calmer than him, nodded slightly, then greeted Han Xiaofei first, and then turned his eyes back: "Brother Xiang."

Xiang Sheng returned the greeting: "Brother Zhou."

The person who arrived was none other than Zhou Pu, the contemporary monarch of the Later Han Dynasty, and he was followed by a group of ministers and workers of the Later Han Dynasty.

Like Xiang Sheng and others, everyone showed no royal pomp and ceremony, all dressed in casual clothes, and came to watch the ceremony as fellow Taoists to congratulate.

Xiang Sheng and Zhou Pu looked at each other, not feeling the pressure from their gazes earlier.

This made Xiang Sheng feel awe-inspiring.

It’s not that the opponent’s cultivation strength has declined, it’s more likely that the gap between the two sides is even greater than last time…

Chai Bin, who was born in the clan of the Song Dynasty in the past, looked at this scene from a distance with a calm expression on his face.

The Song Dynasty has become history, and now there is only the Song Dynasty that has surrendered to the Tang Dynasty.

The same is true for the Northern and Southern Jin Dynasties.

The Ming Dynasty fell.

At present, only the Tang Dynasty, the Han Dynasty and the Later Han Dynasty, which had conflicts with the Han Dynasty on the title of the country, are still standing.

But all this has little to do with Chai Bin.

Even though the Song Dynasty still existed, he watched with cold eyes.

Chai Bin came this time not as a member of the Great Song Dynasty clan, but as a high-gong elder of Chunyang Palace, the Taoist Holy Land, to congratulate the Taoist Xuanmen Master Lei for passing on the title of Heavenly Master to Elder Zhuo, a fellow member of the Fulu Sect.

Although it was not the first time, Chai Bin sincerely felt that the choice he made was the right one.

When Xiang Sheng noticed Zhou Pu's change and became wary, the third batch of guests also arrived.

He was clearly a representative of the Tang imperial family from Luoyang.

Their trip was nominally led by Grand Duke Zhang Ying.

But in fact, among the group of people was not only Shen Qubing, the Ninth Level Heavenly Martial Saint, and Meng Shaojie, the great scholar in the world, but also Zhang Hui, who had already become a saint.

However, both Zhang Hui and Meng Shaojie kept a low profile, and Shen Qubing, as a general, would not take the lead on this occasion, so Zhang Ying was the leader of the congratulatory crowd.

But no one is looking down on them.

Xiang Sheng didn't need to think about it, a series of names related to the Tang Dynasty appeared in his mind.

As for the Emperor Zhang Wantong of the Tang Dynasty, he was already an outsider just like Lei Jun.

Compared with the Tang Dynasty, the current conflict between the two Han Dynasties is really out of control...

Zhou Pu's expression was calm, making it difficult to understand what was going on in his heart. He calmly greeted Zhang Ying and others.

Everyone from the Han Dynasty went first, while Zhang Hui, Shen Qubing, Meng Shaojie, Zhang Ying and others stayed outside.

"Sanjie Xiao's retreat has reached a critical stage, so she can't come this time." Shen Qubing said apologetically.

Chu Yu and Shangguan Yunbo are currently staying in Luoyang to take charge of the situation.

Xiao Hang, the current leader of the Xiao clan outside Longwai, returned to his ancestral land to deal with some clan affairs.

And Xiao Chunhui will return from the world of scholars this time.

"I wish General Xiao will open the Immortal Gate as soon as possible." Han Xiaofei and Cheng Rongrong both said.

Someone similar to Xiao Xueting is Xing Feng, the leader of the Blood River Sect.

He is currently meditating in seclusion and is at the critical moment of impacting the fairyland.

As Lei Jun and others had previously expected, starting from Zhang Hui, Yuan Mobai, and Chu Kun, the next few decades will be a peak period for the top masters from the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths to attack the fairyland. One after another, some people will take this final step. step.

The tide of the times swept across and reached a new peak.

Therefore, compared to the earlier times when Tang Xiaotang and Lei Jun took over the position of Heavenly Master, and even before when Lei Jun took over the position of Xuanmen Headmaster, the current Heavenly Master's passing ceremony was much bigger.

Although Bai Mei and Zhao Chanyang did not come this time, Phoenix Fengming from Canghuan came here specially to congratulate True Dragon Huaming and Golden Crow Haoyang.

And outside the vast worlds of Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, there were also guests attending the ceremony.

Xiao Chunhui returned to the human world here.

The people who came with him were also representatives of the world of Confucianism.

Shao Bowen, a Confucian saint from the second level of the fairyland, as a representative of the new Confucianism there, congratulated Lei Jun and Zhuo Baojie on behalf of Yan Aoyun and Jiao Feiyang.

Longqiu Taoist, the contemporary leader of Luofu Mountain, also traveled with him.

Yan Aoyun himself wants to stare at the world of demons and the abyss of time.

As a result, the situation of the new Confucianism has been presided over by Jiao Feiyang in recent years. Therefore, the two of them cannot travel to the nine heavens and ten earths in person, so they have to prepare congratulatory gifts and ask Xiao Chunhui and Shao Bowen to congratulate them on their behalf.

Shao Bowen was present, and together with Shen Xi, Mu Chunyang, Sun Li, Zhao Qianran, Li Tianqing, Zhang Hui and Fenghuang Fengming, there were eight fairyland masters among the public guests.

As for non-public…

"Just let me greet Venerable Huiyin. Junior Sister Tang, please go to the front." Wang Guiyuan, who was wearing a dark red Taoist robe and a Taoist crown, said.

He finally caught up after successfully attaining the second level of the Buddhist Golden Body before the Heavenly Master's Ceremony.

Beside him, Monk Hui Yin looked the same as before, except that a faint golden glow seemed to appear on his skin.

Following Wang Guiyuan or Venerable Faqing, the former new head of the White Lotus Sect of the Tang Dynasty also successfully attained the Buddhist Golden Body.

In fact, he opened the Immortal Gate a little later than Lei Jun and others expected, lagging behind Sun Li, Li Tianqing and the others.

It is not difficult to guess the reason. After achieving the attainment of the Ninth Heavenly Five-layer Buddhist Golden Body of the Vow-making lineage, he presumably studied more other Buddhist lineages.

Therefore, Tang Xiaotang, who specially returned from the world of Confucianism, was very interested in discussing Dharma and Taoism with Venerable Hui Yin.

In the world of Confucianism, she has the initiative. She can fight when she wants and leave when she wants.

If she is willing to take the initiative to return to the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, the demons there will only thank God and wait to see her off.

It's a pity that Tang Zhenjun still intends to go back after watching the ceremony...

She came to join in the fun, and Wang Guiyuan greeted Hui Yin, so Chu Kun stayed at the abyss of Wujianshi for the time being, and this time he only wished the crown prince a successful enthronement.

After listening to Wang Guiyuan's words, Tang Xiaotang still had more to say: "Okay, then I'll go to the front to meet the other people. Many of them opened the fairy gate when I was away. Let's see what they look like now."

Wang Guiyuan greeted Venerable Hui Yin.

Lei Jun himself is currently entertaining another guest secretly...

Tianrui layman, Zhang Wantong.

The two sides were familiar, but the meeting was private.

Even in name, Zhang Wantong did not come to watch the ceremony in person this time, and only sent Zhang Ying and his party as representatives.

The reason why there is no contact through the Confucian method of seeing words as faces or the Taoist method of transmitting musical notes is that Lei Jun hopes that Zhang Wantong will do him a favor.

"Forgive me for being presumptuous, but I would like to ask lay people to help me reconstruct a person's life and teachings. It may be quite difficult, so I just hope that it will be as detailed as possible..." Lei Jun said.

His request was beyond Zhang Wantong's expectation.

Not Gao Tiansui.

Not Zheng Baiyu.

Not Wu Hailin.

It does not exist like the Great Destruction Bodhisattva or the Hundred-Eyed Demonic Tree.

Zhang Wantong wouldn't be surprised if it was the Heavenly Master of Longhu Mountain or other legendary Taoist ancestors or gods.

but…

Lei Jun said in a calm tone: "... I want to invite a layman to revive the emperor."
