Seeking good fortune and avoiding misfortune starts from Tianshi Mansion

Chapter 252 Third-grade opportunity, ancient treasure (two-in-one chapter)

The tiger transformed from the pure Yang true fire around Tang Xiaotang's body penetrated the top of Biyou Fairy Mountain with its claws, but it did not cause damage to Biyou Fairy Mountain as a whole. Wingdings: ♦︎♦︎⬧︎♦︎◆︎⌧︎♦︎♦︎□︎❍︎

As the strands of golden light and flames circulated, at this moment, they seemed to change from hard to yang to soft to yin, seeping into the mountain rocks.

Although Tang Tianshi always used her skills to fight with the enemy, it does not mean that her magical powers are not subtle.

Whether she is unrestrained or delicate, it all depends on whether she cares about it personally.

At this moment, the giant tiger's claws transformed into the golden light of the flames penetrated deep into the rock like flowing water.

Later, the huge fire tiger began to retract its claws, the movement was relatively gentle, not as fast as when it penetrated.

But very neatly, with a flashing shadow, it retracted its claws from the rocks of Biyou Fairy Mountain.

The huge fire tiger's claws were spread out, and something was lying quietly in the center of the tiger's claws. It looked like a round mirror.

There are a lot of antique patterns on the frame around the mirror.

Lei Jun and Tang Xiaotang looked familiar at first glance.

These simple patterns are in the same line as the Tao Yun Talismans inherited from Longhu Mountain.

But there are still some differences.

While it looks full of ancient charm, it forms a completely different structure.

Although our inheritances come from the same source, they have different directions and developments.

Lei Jun recalled the many ancient books he had browsed in the Imperial Book Pavilion, and he had a clear understanding in his heart: "This magic weapon... is very old. Although it is also inherited from this sect, I am afraid it was originally..."

Tang Xiaotang glanced at the ancient mirror on the claws of his Yanghuo Tiger, and said with interest: "It is indeed ancient. The Tao Yun Talisman is very different from what we have now. Could it be what my uncle said, I am the number one in the Taoist Talisman Sect?" A magic weapon that was born before the family split?"

The Tianshi Mansion in Longhu Mountain has been experiencing civil strife in recent years, resulting in numerous deaths and injuries, which has greatly damaged the vitality of the Tianshi Mansion.

However, in the history before this, a violent civil strife broke out in the lineage of Longhu Mountain Tianshi Mansion, but it was quite a long time ago.

The fierce conflict and the civil war split originated from the Taoist Fulu sect's reform and return to the sect.

Because it is so far away from the present era, few people mention it now.

The Taoist scriptures and talismans that existed before the Taoist law was reformed in the Yuan Dynasty are now hard to find.

Fortunately, Lei Jun and Tang Xiaotang currently have good cultivation and high understanding.

So after they observed and pondered the ancient mirror, they immediately recalled the history of that year.

Now this mirror really came from the Taoist Fulu Sect before the Taoist tradition changed to the Yuan Dynasty, so this treasure has existed for thousands of years.

"The anecdote about the Three Treasures of the Heavenly Master happened in the past hundred years. When the Three Treasures were all there earlier, no one was seen taking out the buried treasures from the Biyou Immortal Mountain."

Tang Xiaotang smiled and said: "Is it the recent changes in the spiritual energy veins of the entire world in Longhu Mountain that have affected the Queen of Shangqing Leifu Cave, causing the current situation?"

She became interested, dispersed the golden light and fierce flames, and carefully studied the magic weapon.

Lei Jun also stepped forward to study the precious mirror.

He recalled the handwriting that appeared on the time ball during this fortune-telling operation. The words "Time is long and passed down from ancient times to the present" caught his attention.

When he studied this ancient mirror again, a name came to Lei Jun's mind:

【Xuanxu Mirror】

After Lei Jun thought about it for a moment, he became thoughtful.

Tang Xiaotang on the side looked like he had quickly lost interest: "I don't like the effect of this magic weapon."

Lei Jun: "Yeah~~~It's actually not bad..."

"It's yours, do whatever you want." Tang Xiaotang waved his hand in disgust.

Lei Jun waved, and the magic weapon that looked like an ancient mirror floated in front of him.

When the ancient mirror is turned over, it is shockingly visible that the mirror is double-sided.

A mirror is dimly lit.

The other side is brightly mirrored.

This dark side can help the monk hide his figure.

A bright mirror light has the opposite effect and is used to inspect and explore things.

Those who are mysterious are not only creating mysteries themselves, but also exploring mysteries in all directions.

Except for the three treasures of the Celestial Master, which symbolize the identity of the Celestial Master, Tang Xiaotang rarely uses magic weapons and magic weapons.

The artistic conception and function of this Xuanxu Mirror were not to her liking.

As for Lei Jun, he really likes this magic weapon.

Whether it is used to detect opponents or hide oneself, the quality is quite good.

After Lei Jun's cultivation reached the upper three-day stage, his original "night wind" form of the wind and thunder talisman was sublimated into the "yin movement" form of the celestial talisman.

The snake bones that were commonly used in the past are now somewhat useless.

For three-day monks, unless they are extremely far away from each other, the role of the snake bones in concealing their bodies will be very limited.

Lei Jun will no longer use the snake bones for the time being, leaving it to be slowly polished in the future. He will also refine this treasure again in order to improve it.

At the moment, Lei Jun needs to find another suitable method and continue to perfect his concealment method. By then, even a large number of eighth-level monks will have difficulty detecting his actions.

This Xuanxu Mirror is just right.

"However, it is a bit worn." Lei Jun looked at the illusory mirror: "It has been buried in the cave of Shangqing Lei Mansion for so long, but it still has some shortcomings."

Tang Xiaotang said casually: "I guess we need to find some unique natural materials and treasures to restore it."

Lei Jun nodded.

He began to try to use his own magic power to warm and nourish this treasure.

However, under the contact of magic power, Lei Jun noticed that some ancient Tao Yun in this Xuanxu mirror had faint signs of changing on their own.

With proper handling, there will be no future troubles... Lei Jun suddenly remembered the signed words on the road.

This is a good sign, but according to the literal meaning, you need to be careful in order to have a good fortune without current risks or future hidden dangers.

Lei Jun is not yet completely sure what the so-called future troubles refer to.

But he guessed that it might be related to the Taoist Fulu Sect and the Taoist Taoism of Longhushan Tianshi Mansion in the early years.

The past events buried in the dust of history may still have clues.

Many questions and speculations flashed through Lei Jun's mind, but his men were not slow at all.

The Celestial Master's Seal appeared, and the three colors of purple, gold, and blue flashed with light, forming an illusory three-layered altar, containing the Xuanxu Mirror.

The Xuanxu Mirror landed in the first-level altar and was surrounded by the Nine Abyss True Fire.

Lei Jun himself sat on the third floor of the altar, silently practicing mystical skills, and quietly breathing in and out.

Xuanxu Mirror's previously somewhat frivolous Tao Yun artistic conception suddenly turned solid.

Among them, the inheritance of Taoism originated from ancient times, and although it has the same origin as the current direct inheritance of Tianshi Mansion, there are many differences.

Lei Jun did not change the original Tao Yun artistic conception of Xuanxu Mirror, he just made it stable and brought it under his control.

The ancient Taoist Fulu sect’s Taoist tradition is preserved and can be kept for reference in the future.

But cut off the possibility of anyone else attracting this treasure from the outside world.

After completing all this, Lei Jun put away the Celestial Master's Seal.

After greeting Tang Xiaotang who was still sitting cross-legged and meditating on the top of Biyou Fairy Mountain, Lei Jun immediately left the Shangqing Lei Mansion Cave.

After coming out, I first heard good news.

Zhang Jingzhen finally officially came out of isolation.

Furthermore, she successfully attained the seventh level of the Taoist Talisman Sect, reaching the realm of heaven.

Since then, the Tianshi Mansion in Longhu Mountain has added a highly skilled elder who has reached the three-day level.

"Sister Zhang, congratulations!" Lei Jun congratulated Zhang Jingzhen after seeing her.

On the side, Yuan Mobai and Shangguan Ning also smiled and nodded.

Zhang Jingzhen returned the courtesy to Lei Jun: "Congratulations to Junior Brother Lei for his great achievements."

Just as Lin Shan, Shangguan Hong, and even many people speculated, Zhang Jingzhen felt as if she had been separated from this world when she came out of seclusion after several years.

Senior Sister Xu Yuanzhen returned to the human world, and even broke through to the ninth level of heaven.

The Lin clan of Jiangzhou, the enemy of the Tianshi Mansion, lost most of their lives and were no longer able to gain a foothold near Longhu Mountain.

Even the Youzhou Lin Clan was similarly robbed.

Later, Xu Yuanzhen will fight Ye Moquan, the old leader of the Ye clan in Jinzhou.

All these things are dizzying, and one can feel the turmoil inside and outside the entire Tang Dynasty.

But overall, although all this is related to the Tianshi Mansion in Longhu Mountain and Zhang Jingzhen himself, the impact on her is not particularly strong.

What surprised her the most and made her feel uneasy was that Lei Jun was one step ahead of her and broke through to the seventh heaven.

Thinking back to those days, when Lei Jun first came to Longhu Mountain and entered the Taoist Children's Academy at the foot of the mountain to be a Taoist boy, she, as a direct descendant of the Heavenly Master, was already in the sixth heaven realm...

Now that she has practiced hard for more than 20 years and successfully reached the three-day level, Zhang Jingzhen is still far away from being a hundred years old. She can be called one of the most proud women of the younger generation.

But compared to the opposite Lei Jun, it is a completely different concept.

A seventh-level monk under the age of fifty...Zhang Jingzhen, who had gradually calmed down and could face the reality, could not help but sigh in his heart when he saw Lei Jun in a purple robe with his own eyes.

I have met senior sister Xu Yuanzhen and the new heavenly master Tang Xiaotang.

Zhang Jingzhen actually readjusted her mentality very easily.

In addition to Xu Yuanzhen and Tang Xiaotang, let's add Lei Jun's name alongside them.

But...why can't it be me?

If you leave the clan, choose another path of cultivation, and work hard to improve in all aspects, will you still end up with more than enough than above in the end...

"After the leader comes out of the cave in Shangqing Lei Mansion, he will personally add a casket for Master Jingzhen's nephew." Yuan Mobai said with a smile: "For now, we will keep everything simple, and we will hold a formal ceremony on the 15th day of July this year. Junior nephew Jingzhen, what do you mean?"

Zhang Jingzhen's mood has returned to calmness, and her face is as dignified and calm as ever: "Disciple, I don't have any opinions, just follow the rules and regulations of the mansion."

Later in the evening, Tang Xiaotang's practice came to an end for the time being. After coming out of the Shangqing Leifu Cave, he made the fourth engraving for Zhang Jingzhen and upgraded the "Shangqing Three Cave Sutra Urn".

Zhang Jing truly changed into a purple robe and became another highly accomplished elder in Longhu Mountain.

Everyone in the mansion, including the Taoist boys in the Taoist courtyard at the foot of the mountain, were all excited.

Thinking back to the new civil strife on Longhu Mountain seven years ago, Li Wai finally fought a decisive battle. After the war, all four high-ranking elders of the Li family died. Although the descendants of the surname Wai won, only Tang Xiaotang, Yuan Mobai, Yao Yuan, and Shangguan Ning were left on the mountain at that time. Four monks who have reached the three-day level.

Although Tianshi Jian returned to the mountain, he lost Tianshi's robe again.

Looking at the entire history of Longhu Mountain Tianshi Mansion, this can also be called the rock bottom period of extreme weakness.

It is inevitable that the people in the house will fluctuate and the reputation outside the mountain will decline.

At that time, no one expected that seven years later, the situation would completely change.

Xu Yuanzhen returned, and Lei Jun and Zhang Jingzhen successively reached the seventh level of heaven.

Tianshi Mansion finally recovered its vitality.

"Speaking of which, Senior Brother You became a high-gong elder before Senior Sister Zhang, and there are some side effects." Chu Kun sat in Lei Jun's small courtyard and smiled.

Lei Jun understood what the other party meant and smiled without saying a word.

Not only Zhang Jingzhen, but also Shangguan Ning can be counted. From the perspective of birth, both of them are members of the clan.

In the past, there were more high-ranking elders on Longhu Mountain than today, and there was only one representative of the Tang imperial family, Shangguan Ning.

Now that there are fewer Gao Gong elders, the court representatives include Shangguan Ning and Zhang Jingzhen.

For the current Tianshi Mansion, this ratio is actually quite exaggerated.

But few people in the house paid much attention.

On the one hand, Tianshi Mansion has become very close to the Tang Dynasty imperial family in recent years.

In terms of results, if the Shangguan clan is not taken into account, then it is not too much to say that Tianshi Mansion is the number one double-spend red stick under the Tang Emperor in recent years...

When the Tianshi Mansion was at its weakest after the Li Wai War, Emperor Tang personally visited the Longhu Mountain platform to shock the outside world.

A few years later, the Tianshi Mansion destroyed the Jiangzhou Lin Clan and also severely damaged the Youzhou Lin Clan. Two watermelon knives slashed all the way from the south of the Yangtze River to the north.

Compared to the earlier years when the Li family moved closer to the Tang court, it is more appropriate to say that now is the honeymoon period between the Tianshi Mansion and the Tang court.

On the other hand, regardless of the previous generation, only looking at the younger generation, Xu Yuanzhen, Tang Xiaotang, and Lei Jun have too strong a sense of presence.

Zhang Jing's really special background makes her less conspicuous.

"In the early years, there were internal conflicts between Li and Li, and internal conflicts between Li and Li. The situation in the palace was complicated. The clan colors of Uncle Shangguan and Senior Sister Zhang were even stronger."

Chu Kun felt a little emotional: "Now that the clouds are clear and the water is clear, everything is indifferent, but I still have to thank the senior sister and the head, as well as the master and senior brother for your presence."

"Everyone has their own thoughts. It's good as long as the general direction is consistent and we seek common ground while reserving differences." Lei Jun said.

While the two brothers were talking, thunderclouds roared and light flashed on the top of Longhu Mountain above.

Chu Kun looked up: "Shangqing Lei Mansion Cave Heaven?"

"Well..." Lei Jun, who is now a high-level elder, can clearly see the movements in the cave of Shangqing Lei Mansion: "Senior Sister Zhang has passed."

Chu Kun: "Senior Sister Zhang has always practiced hard."

Lei Jun raised his eyebrows and looked at the turbulent purple lightning above, thoughtfully.

…………

Zhang Jingzhen, dressed in purple robe, re-entered the cave of Shangqing Lei Mansion.

She is currently the only one in the cave.

Zhang Jingzhen's eyes swept across this purple world, and she was filled with emotion for a while.

She went to Xianmingquan first.

Now that she has reached the seventh level of heaven, she no longer needs to rely on other water-avoiding spiritual objects. She can go deep under the Immortal Ming Spring with her own Nine Abyss Flame Ancestor Dharma Image.

But unfortunately, she couldn't find what she wanted.

"So it seems that only half of the chapter table is in the cave of Shangqing Lei Mansion. Is the other half really in... Chen Yi?" Zhang Jingzhen had been mentally prepared before, and was not particularly disappointed at this moment. It was more of a verification. Conjecture in mind.

But how did Chen Yi get half of the chapter list?

Will there be more secrets of the ancient Talisman Sect behind his half-sheet?

It seems that I have to try to find him again... Zhang Jing really calmed down and looked around again.

She did not leave in a hurry, but continued to search and confirm in the cave.

After reaching the seventh heaven realm, Zhang Jingzhen also went to Biyou Fairy Mountain.

She opened her palms, and a ray of light appeared in her palms.

The brilliance unfolded and turned into half a chapter sheet, with a large number of Tao Yun runes on it, constantly emerging from it.

But after a long period of sacrifice, there was no more gain.

"No..." Zhang Jingzhen sighed softly.

…………

Lei Jun looked at the sky above the mountain, at the densely purple thunder-covered Shangqing Lei Mansion Cave, but what he was thinking about was that the time was specifically mentioned in his signature.

Generally speaking, if there is a time requirement for similar shipments, it basically means that there will be no waiting time.

If he and Tang Xiaotang did not summon the Xuanxu Mirror from Biyou Immortal Mountain in time, it might mean that there would be no chance in the future.

In view of the state of the Xuanxu Mirror and the Shangqing Lei Mansion Cave Heaven, Lei Jun believed that it did not mean that the Xuanxu Mirror would be damaged and destroyed after the time limit.

But the magic weapon may fall into the hands of others, or cause chaos.

Considering that it took Lei Jun a few days to fetch the Nine Lights from Hundong from the Tianshi robe, he roughly counted the days and found that if it was late, he should be in time for Zhang Jingzhen to come out of seclusion.

After Zhang Jingzhen came out of seclusion, she went through some simple procedures and immediately went to Shangqing Leifu Cave...

Was she also heading towards the Xuanxu Mirror?

There's a small problem.

When Lei Jun and Tang Xiaotang combined with the Three Treasures of the Heavenly Master to nearly complete them, they attracted the Xuanxu Mirror to appear.

Although Zhang Jingzhen has reached the seventh-level realm, her Taoist power cannot surpass that of Lei Jun. How can she hunt for treasure?

"She may have mastered some kind of ancient relic, and there are some ways to attract similar treasures?" Lei Jun guessed in his mind.

He remembered that when he first entered the Shangqing Lei Mansion Cave, he had to choose one of the two winning numbers.

The other middle number points to Xianmingquan.

At that time, Zhang Jingzhen appeared there.

"Hmm...so I was the first to get on this trip?" Lei Jun smiled.

However, he had no intention of getting to the bottom of other people's secrets.

After Zhang Jingzhen came out of the Cave of Shangqing Lei Mansion, she behaved as usual, as if nothing had happened and never mentioned any relevant matters.

When Lei Jun saw this, he didn't say much.

He recruited his apprentice Zhuo Baojie to test his skills.

After the test, Lei Jun gave him a young bamboo from the fairy bamboo forest in Leifu Cave in Shangqing Dynasty.

This is the bamboo shoot tip specially selected by Lei Jun. It is also rare in the fairy bamboo forest, and Zhuo Baojie can only satisfy his craving occasionally.

Now that he got the tender bamboo, he who was still calm suddenly broke through and took it happily.

Those little eyes kept moving, looking back and forth at his master.

He seemed to be guessing whether Lei Jun had more on hand.

"Yes." Lei Jun said simply, "But it depends on your performance."

The little bear immediately straightened his body, closed his two short legs and stood at attention, with an extremely upright and serious expression on his face: "Master, this disciple must not relax at all!"

His next practice was indeed more serious than before.

In the end, Elder Lei, who was fishing and enforcing the law, had a meal of fried meat with pure jade and immortal bamboo: "So I'm usually lazy."

In addition to teaching his apprentices, Lei Jun continued to cultivate his magic weapon and study Taoism in the following days.

Just counting the days, the summer solstice is approaching.

The date of the battle between senior sister Xu Yuanzhen and Jinzhou Ye Moquan happened on this day.

However, Xu Yuanzhen has not returned since he left the mountain last time, which makes people murmur.

On this day, Lei Jun's mind suddenly moved, as if he felt something.

After giving a piece of young bamboo to his eldest apprentice and watching him leave happily, Lei Jun returned to the quiet room by himself.

He sat cross-legged, without summoning the Heavenly Master's Seal, and his mind wandered into the cave of Shangqing Lei Mansion, immersed in the world of the Heavenly Book.

The bizarre universe that belongs to the dark side of the Book of Heaven.

In the vast white "starry sky", dots of ink-like "starlight" twinkled.

One of the huge dark stars expanded at this moment, and its color also changed slightly.

In this pale world of black and white, different colors gradually emerge.

Lei Jun previously separated two dark stars, one for Luohu and the other for Jidu.

At present, there is no movement in Luohu, but Jidu, like the dark moon, has moved first.

In the darkness, there was a little silvery white light, like the real cold moonlight.

There was not much moonlight, and it formed a ring and shone in the black obsidian.

Although it was moonlight, it looked a bit like an annular solar eclipse.

The darkness in the center of the halo is even deeper, but as the person in charge here, Lei Jun can vaguely detect the presence of human figures in Jidu.

To be precise, it is not a real human form, but like a shadow projection of a person's soul.

Under Yu Lei Jun's gaze, the figure gradually became clearer.

In the universe derived from the Book of Heaven, did Sun Yao look at us latecomers like this before?

When Lei Jun saw this, thoughts flashed through his mind.

Then he saw the figures in Jidu clearly and was speechless for a moment.

This is really...

That was a young scholar, his face full of uneasiness and confusion at the moment.

Lei Jun knew this young scholar.

Meng Shaojie, courtesy name Qingyan.

One of the reading companions of Prince Zhang Hui of the Tang Dynasty. He once went to Longhu Mountain with Prince Zhang Hui.

At the same time, it also brought an opportunity to Lei Jun, a spiritual object called the balance of movement and stillness.

This gentleman was from the academy. As a teacher in the academy, Lin Shan returned to Tianshi Mansion at the beginning of the year and was chatting with Lei Jun and other disciples. He even mentioned Meng Shaojie.

Although Lin Shan taught Taoist classics and Meng Shaojie studied Confucianism, this young man naturally attracted attention as the prince's companion.

His temperament is relatively gentle, he is cautious in handling things, and he is quite diligent in practicing and doing things.

However, according to the news brought back by Linshan, Meng Shaojie's own cultivation progress and talent are as before. He can be considered outstanding among ordinary people and even among the students in the academy, but among the group of study companions in the East Palace, he is a bit like a make-up.

Fortunately, Prince Zhang Hui had a good personal relationship with him, and they seemed to be getting on well with each other.

Unexpectedly, Jidu actually fell into his hands... After the initial surprise, Lei Jun became somewhat interested.

He has done research before, and not just anyone can combine the shadows separated from the dark side of the Book of Heaven.

It can be seen that Meng Shaojie was quite uneasy when he suddenly encountered such a change.

He didn't dare to act rashly and just quietly observed the world in front of him.

Fortunately, although the starry sky in this universe is strange, it does not cause anything wrong, so Meng Shaojie can still keep his mind calm at the moment.

Lei Jun also did not take the initiative to talk to the other party.

While Meng Shaojie was observing his surroundings, Lei Jun was also observing him.

Taoist Master Lei has no intention of digging into other people's privacy. At the moment, he is more interested in using Meng Shaojie's example to prove it and further confirm the characteristics of the starry sky universe derived from the dark side of the Book of Heaven.

Characteristics of the soul.

Lei Jun gradually understood.

The starry sky in the universe derived from the dark side of the Heavenly Book is different from the main chapter of the Heavenly Book.

In the situation there, even if you get a page of the Heavenly Book, you still need some kind of treasure to trigger it before you can contact the Heavenly Book Starry Sky Universe.

Or can it be called the threshold but actually inside the door?

As for the dark side of the Book of Heaven, it seems that there is no need for the treasure to accompany them, but the shadow will pick people first invisibly.

Only people with very special souls can become the masters of Dark Star Yin Yao.

Now Lei Jun also has a general understanding of what is special about Meng Shaojie.

This young man's understanding and ability are actually quite excellent, especially in terms of ability. In terms of scarcity, he can even be called a rare talent in ancient and modern times.

His basic qualifications are reflected in his soul.

Similar situations are quite rare.

Among the people Lei Jun had personally come into contact with before, only Chen Yi's Chengkong spirit body was like this, and its bones could reflect the soul and spirit.

However, in general, Chengkong Spirit Body still prefers physical qualifications. On this basis, the feedback affects the soul and spirit.

As for Meng Shaojie's talents, initially it seems that they all lie in the soul.

But even so, he still seemed strange and extremely reserved, preventing him from showing any real talent in practice.

Lei Jun clicked his tongue in surprise, because Confucian practice pays attention to enlightenment, reading and nourishing Qi, and transforming talents and talents into awe-inspiring Qi. Even the Shenshe lineage also pays attention to the spiritual cultivation of the soul, let alone the study of classics and chanting.

According to common sense, Meng Shaojie would not be buried.

But current signs indicate that this young scholar seems to have entered the wrong profession.

If the lineage of Confucian chanting and chanting that attaches great importance to spiritual cultivation is not suitable for him, then what is suitable?

Taoist weapon refining sect?

Buddhists keep the precepts?

Witchcraft and ghosts?

Lei Jun was indeed a little curious now.

However, Meng Shaojie was from the Academy.

Logically speaking, his uniqueness should not be hidden from Xiao Chunhui, the academy's wine concubine.

After all, he was a great Confucian of the Three Heavens who was gifted with extraordinary talents, had bizarre experiences, and was extremely outstanding in terms of spirit.

Even if Xiao Chunhui made a mistake, what about Queen Zhang Wantong?

Although Lei Jun was curious in his heart, he did not dig into the details of this young scholar, nor would he refuse him to join the Dark Star Hidden Light Capital.

Lei Jun doesn't mind if the other party reports it to the court.

Although Meng Shaojie himself is currently uneasy, he does consider whether to seek help from the outside world.

First of all, his character does not like to take risks. The previous experience of the balance between movement and stillness made him even more frightened.

Secondly, as the prince's companion, will this shadow be detrimental to His Highness?

"Report to the local government, or report to the Academy and East Palace after returning to the capital?"

During these days, Meng Shaojie was taking leave to return to his hometown to visit relatives.

After thinking for a moment, he decided to return to Beijing early.

Although his relatives at home were reluctant to leave him, they could only pack their bags for him.

Because of Meng Shaojie, his family was also famous in the local area.

Meng Shaojie smiled bitterly in his heart as he listened to his relatives' earnest instructions before leaving.

As time went by, the team of East Palace reading companions continued to expand, from four to eight people.

There is another student like him in the academy.

And among the rich and powerful, three more people were added.

Strictly speaking, neither Shangguan Zhengqing nor Zhang Ziye, nor Ye Song from Qingzhou, nor even the descendants of powerful men and women had any conflict with Meng Shaojie.

Everyone seemed polite.

But when he was in it, he always had a strange feeling.

This feeling is not entirely due to one’s background, but also to the awareness of one’s progress in cultivation.

The new student in the academy is once again the best among the best in the academy, and his cultivation progress is faster than that of Meng Shaojie.

As time went by, the gap between him and these people not only did not narrow, but instead grew wider.

Regardless of whether His Highness the Crown Prince was present or not, Ye Song, Shangguan Zhengqing and others had no intention of manipulating or making things difficult for Meng Shaojie, nor did they secretly dig holes for him.

But invisibly, Meng Shaojie seemed to always hear a voice ringing in his ears:

You are different from us.

The young scholar sometimes thinks that perhaps his mentality is unbalanced and he has low self-esteem, so that he judges a gentleman with a villain's heart.

But the current environment really made him feel depressed.

If he had not had a close personal relationship with Prince Zhang Hui, he would have been even more sad.

It's just that we are all young now, so it doesn't matter.

What about the future?

Meng Shaojie has no intention of being a sycophant who can only ask for your favor.

What should I do... The young scholar was at a loss.

Thinking of the shadow and the pale and strange starry sky, Meng Shaojie suddenly hesitated.

The report must be reported, so as not to harm His Highness the Crown Prince.

But...could this be an opportunity?

If so, am I ready?

…………

Lei Jun did not touch Meng Shaohua's side, but just observed quietly.

Until, he discovered that another dark star Yin Yao that he had separated previously also changed.

Rahu.

Rahu, who was like a dark sun before, now reappears in the pale universe, with a faint golden glow appearing around its outline.

Like real sunlight.

Similar to previous changes in the capital.

A ring of real sunlight mixed with the ink-like "sunlight" of the dark day gives people the feeling of witnessing a real annular solar eclipse.

And in the darkness at the center of the annular solar eclipse, there was also a figure that gradually became prominent.

Lei Jun looked at the face of the figure in the darkness.

This person, at first glance, seems relatively unfamiliar.

But after Lei Jun recalled it for a moment, he found that he also had an impression of this face.

Strictly speaking, he has never met the other party in person.

What impressed me most was the portrait in the painting.

I remember this person’s name was Kang Ming.

His identity is... a disciple of Huang Tiandao.

Moreover, he is an outstanding successor and rising star of Huang Tiandao who has recently emerged in recent years.

Lei Jun is not sure about the specific time when he started. His fame probably happened after Huang Tiandao's recent counterattack on Longhu Mountain.

At that time, Taiping Taoist, the leader of Huang Tiandao, was seriously injured and went into hiding. The supreme elder Yu Qingling died. Huang Tiandao suffered heavy losses and had to go into hiding again. Many strongholds were destroyed and his disciples fled everywhere.

Kang Ming was a young disciple of Huang Tiandao who emerged after that. He had good cultivation and talents. The imperial court once encircled Huang Tiandao's stronghold, allowing him to stand out from the siege.

When he became famous in one battle, he also showed his appearance and gained fame.

Therefore, when Lei Jun looked at his face at this moment, he realized his identity.

Did this person pick up a shadow of himself?

Lei Jun was not dissatisfied, but looked at the other party with interest.

According to the information previously obtained, Kang Ming has the sixth level of the Taoist Fulu Sect's Heavenly Seal realm.

With such cultivation at such a young age, he should be one of Huang Tiandao's key training targets.

In other words, he had the opportunity to go to the Yellow Tiandao Sect Altar to cultivate and strive to reach the seventh heaven realm.

Huang Tiandao Zongtan has always been secretive, that is, most people in his family don't know where it is.

Only in this way can we persist in not being exposed for more than a hundred years and not being breached by the Tang Dynasty imperial family and the Tianshi Mansion.

"Now..." Lei Jun looked at Kang Ming quietly.
