Seeking good fortune and avoiding misfortune starts from Tianshi Mansion

Chapter 343 342. Crucial influence (first update)

Looking at the young Celestial Master who was as tall as a mountain and as calm as a puddle, Fangdu, the elder of the Jingxiang Fang Clan, was speechless for a moment.

He quickly composed himself and lowered his voice: "It's not just his own reputation that's expected of him, but also the reputations of Xu Yuanzhen and Yuan Mobai. That's why he has what he is today..."

Xu Yuanzhen is not even present at the ceremony, but he is currently the highest-level monk in the Tianshi Mansion and the highest-level person in the Taoist Fulu Sect of the Tang Dynasty.

She is the eldest among Xu, Tang and Lei, and she is also the earliest to become famous.

However, due to various reasons, she has always missed the position of Heavenly Master for many years.

But whether in the Tang Dynasty or within the Tianshi Mansion, its presence is so strong that no one dares to ignore it.

Xu Yuanzhen had no direct disciples.

In fact, according to the Taoist practice of recruiting disciples from ancient times to the present, the two recent heavenly masters, Tang Xiaotang and Lei Jun, should have been her direct disciples.

Xu Yuanzhen himself passed through Tianshi Palace but did not enter.

Its reputation and influence were, more or less, shared successively by Tang Xiaotang and Lei Jun.

As for Lei Jun's official master Yuan Mobai, although he rarely shows off, he is equally popular both inside and outside the Tianshi Mansion.

Especially before and after the Li Wai War, the world recognized that Yuan Mobai was a candidate for Heavenly Master acceptable to both sides.

When the position of Heavenly Master was pending for a long time, Yuan Mobai even took charge of the Wanfa Sect Altar on his behalf.

However, due to his special background, he also missed the position of Heavenly Master.

However, due to the behavior of Tang Tianshi, who later took over the position of head, Yuan Mobai was still in charge of most of the daily affairs in the house.

It was not until recent years that the relevant burden gradually shifted to Lei Jun.

Correspondingly, Yuan Mobai's popularity for many years also blessed Lei Jun.

In addition to his own reputation, Lei Jun has more or less added more halo.

In fact, because of some of the behavior of the previous Heavenly Master, the Lei Heavenly Master who is now obviously more capable and calm has given everyone more expectations.

Although, when Tang Tianshi was in power, many decisions were not made by her alone.

But now a more reliable person has officially taken charge of the world. Tang Tianshi abdicated and became a high-gong elder. The positive impact on the future decisions of Tianshi Mansion also represents another expectation of people.

After the Longhu Mountain Celestial Master's Mansion experienced many hardships in the past, the revival atmosphere is getting stronger and stronger, and everyone's expectations are getting higher and higher. Together, they have created the most anticipated new Celestial Master in the past hundreds or thousands of years.

Chu Peng, an old man from the Chu tribe in Suzhou, agreed with Fang Du, but he added:

"With such expectations, this Thunder Heaven Master can probably bear it and bear it."

Fang Du was silent when he heard the words, and then nodded gently.

After Chu Peng said something, he also didn't say much.

The two elders of the famous family were silent for a moment as they looked at the grand ceremony in front of them.

"After all, he is still better than Xu Yuanzhen and Tang Xiaotang, and he is not crazy and unbridled."

Fang Du said softly: "I hope you can give us some more time."

After saying that, he also spoke loudly: "Nine Heavens Xuanyuan, Nine Abyss returns to its true form, Doumu participates in the void, Xuanxiao universalizes, and the heaven is connected to the Yingyuan Dharma Protector Zhenren."

When the Jingxiang Fang clan disciples with different expressions heard this, they all straightened their expressions and followed Fang Du to salute.

Chu Peng then spoke: "The nine heavens are mysterious, the nine abyss returns to its true form, Dou Mu participates in the void, the mysterious sky is universal, and the heaven is bound to the heaven to protect the real person."

The children of the Chu ethnic group in Suzhou also made the same move.

In the distance, Chu Yu's expression was calm and his eyes were not squinting.

Among the purple-robed and highly skilled elders in the Tianshi Mansion, Chu Kun glanced back and then looked away.

Among the guests attending the ceremony, a middle-aged man who looked young and seemed to be a few years younger than the host next to him, Yu Cheng, looked at the scene in front of him with a smile.

He also stood up and said loudly: "The nine heavens are mysterious, the nine abyss returns to its true form, Dou Mu joins the void, the mysterious sky is universal, and the heaven is connected with the true guardian of the law."

Hearing him speak, the eyes of other guests around him couldn't help but gather together.

Sun Mingjing.

The current line of martial arts doctors in the Tang Dynasty is the most famous miracle doctor and medicine king.

His actions and expressions touched more people's hearts.

Sun Mingjing himself looked as usual.

On the side, his disciple Yu Cheng was equally calm. He stood up and saluted with his master.

The new Celestial Master Lei Jun stood in front of the Celestial Master's Hall and returned the greetings to everyone who congratulated him.

The next day, January 16th.

Lei Jun went to Wanfa Zongtan again.

Linshan followed closely behind.

At this ceremony, Lei Jun personally presided over the decoration of Linshan.

The other party has reached the level of the seventh level of the Taoist Talisman Sect. He added the talisman for the fourth time and promoted the "Three Cave Sutras of the Shangqing Dynasty". He was awarded the second-level Taoist rank. He changed into a purple robe and became a new high-achiever in the Longhu Mountain Tianshi Mansion. Elder.

After adding the engravings to Linshan, another grand ceremony, which was also merged with the ceremony of passing on the throne of the Heavenly Master, was officially held.

That is, the Tianshi Mansion's Deliverance Ceremony, which is held once every three years, is here again.

This session was also the first transmission that Lei Jun presided over after taking over the position of Heavenly Master.

This transmission is also special and has far-reaching impact.

Because, in this transmission, Huang Tiandao, who had earlier left Longhu Mountain to stand on his own, will officially return to the sect.

Most of Huang Tiandao's disciples who returned to Longhu Mountain are young.

At first glance, the portion size seems a bit lacking.

However, the two major sects of Huang Tiandao overseas and in western Sichuan were successively destroyed. Even if there are die-hard elements who are still living outside, they are no longer relevant.

Huang Tiandao will indeed become history in the Tang Dynasty.

In this way, no one will think that the current actions of Tianshi Mansion are for self-entertainment and self-deception.

On the contrary, these young Huangtian Taoist disciples were given a chance.

Xin Beiyuan and other former disciples of Huang Tiandao stood together with the Taoist boys who were compliant this year in Longhu Mountain. They all wore gray Taoist robes and looked the same.

Jingzhuandu officially entered the mansion, and everyone has been the true successor of Longhushan Tianshi Mansion since then.

However, the mansion did not arrange for them to transfer to other masters.

Most of Xin Beiyuan and others have their own ancestry in Huang Tiandao.

It's just that Huang Tiandao is in a precarious situation, and most of the people's elders are no longer here.

But Huang Tiandao originally originated from Tianshi Mansion.

Going back many generations, there is naturally a lineage.

Therefore, the Tianshi Mansion went back to Xin Beiyuan and others to tell the ancestors of the early years to continue the inheritance.

At the beginning, this was how Tang Tianshi handled his inheritance.

Right now, it's the same gourd.

Xin Beiyuan and others do not change their teachings, but they do not have to worry about having no one to teach them.

Since the patriarch has accepted disciples and grandsons, there will naturally be people to teach him on weekdays.

Lei Tianshi personally intervened, and other elders in the mansion divided the work and made arrangements, and then preached and taught Dharma to Xin Beiyuan and others.

Just like Fang Jian usually gives guidance and guidance to Xu Rui.

With the successful conclusion of this transmission, this year's multi-day ceremony has finally officially come to an end.

The guests who were watching the ceremony began to return one after another.

Monk Ruyuan from Nanboti said goodbye and descended from Longhu Mountain. After walking for a while, he stopped and looked back.

Looking at Longhu Mountain, which had successfully escaped from the valley bottom, Monk Ruyuan put his palms together and saluted.

I hope that my own Bodhi Temple can rise again like Longhu Mountain.

Elder Miao Kong, Monk Faming and others from Tianlong Temple also said goodbye and left one after another.

Lei Jun watched them go down the mountain, and his eyes couldn't help but turn to his senior brother Wang Guiyuan.

Wang Guiyuan looked as normal and unconscious in front of Elder Miaokong and other elders of Tianlong Temple.

However, Tang Xiaotang, the retired Heavenly Master, remembered that Master Jiasheng of the Buddhist lineage at the same time had left before attending the ceremony, so he asked Lei Jun: "I forgot to ask earlier, what did you say to him?"

"When I was overseas, after I dealt with Zongcuo and the two Ming monks together, my attention was mainly used to check the things of the two Ming monks. I only bothered to check some of the things that the Western Region monk had with him a while ago. What about the Western Regions? Learn more about the situation.”

Lei Jun: "However, it's not in-depth, so I didn't talk much with the other party this time. I just had a few words in front of Chu Jushi and King Xun'an."

Learn more about Buddhism in the Western Regions.

It also made Lei Jun's impression of them even worse.

"Master, Uncle Tang." Zhuo Baojie stepped forward at this time: "Some guests want to stay a few more days, and they mentioned that they want to discuss it in detail with you, Master."

Lei Jun: "It doesn't matter, we are guests."

Shangguan Zhengqing, an official of the East Palace, was ordered by Prince Zhang Hui to send an invitation to Lei Jun, hoping that the Heavenly Master could visit the East Palace as a guest when he came to the imperial capital again one day.

Lei Jun responded calmly.

Although Lei Jun and the Tianshi Mansion did not take the initiative to invite His Royal Highness to Longhu Mountain as a guest, it was enough as long as Lei Jun did not show complete resistance or disregard for the East Palace.

Nowadays, the Tianshi Mansion is very grand both inside and outside the Tang Dynasty.

Today, their existence makes the Tang Dynasty emperors consider the attitude of the Tianshi Mansion more carefully every time they make a decision.

As far as the East Palace is concerned, it is naturally best to get the support of Master Lei Tian.

At the worst, he cannot be opposed by Lei Tianshi.

After Shangguan Zhengqing resigned and left, he happened to meet Jiang Yuan, a general from the Zhao Palace in the north.

When the two met, their eyes flashed.

Shangguan Zhengqing looked calm, smiling and polite, and took the initiative to say hello: "General."

Jiang Yuan returned the favor.

The two sides didn't say much and quickly separated.

Shangguan Zhengqing's relaxed attitude made Jiang Yuan feel less optimistic about the results of his trip.

He calmed down and went to see the new Heavenly Master Lei Jun.

The changes in King Zhao of the North over the years are obvious to all.

Although there is no explicit action, some people have already guessed what old King Zhao is planning.

Then he is now facing the same problem as Donggong.

There were many contacts between the Tianshi Mansion and Zhengshuo, the imperial family of the Tang Dynasty, or to be precise, with Her Majesty the Empress of the dynasty.

Zhao Wang Zhang Teng and Prince Zhang Hui have fallen behind in this regard.

In the current situation, we don't expect Lei Tianshi and Tianshi Mansion to directly change their tune, but at the worst, they need to remain neutral as much as possible.

It is a good story that the Tianshi Mansion helped protect the Tang Dynasty.

It would be better if we could not get involved in the internal disputes within the royal family.

Of course, given the current situation, this is very difficult.

Some variables are changing the position of Heavenly Master this time.

Compared with the previous Celestial Master Tang Xiaotang, who acted freely and flamboyantly, the new Celestial Master Lei Jun is more indifferent and peaceful.

Except for matters related to the Tianshi Mansion itself and the existence of the Tao Kingdom in the human world, he has rarely actively intervened in external affairs in recent years. Most of the time, he has been meditating on the mountain to practice or taking care of the daily affairs of the manor.

Although he seems indifferent to the point of indifference, to King Zhao, this is much better than the Tianshi who is passionate about court affairs.

The ideal situation would be for Lei Tianshi and Tianshi Mansion to remain neutral and not get involved in the struggle for imperial power.

"Taoist Master Zhuo is like everyone else. Under the Heavenly Master's sect, famous teachers produce great disciples." Jiang Yuan praised.

Lei Jun: "Master leads me in. Cultivation depends on the individual. It's up to Hua Jie to practice hard and work hard."

Jiang Yuan: "The Heavenly Master is really too humble. This will be a good story no matter now or in the future.

Speaking of which, although the Youzhou area in the north is bitter and cold, good seedlings that are very suitable for practicing Taoist inheritance have recently emerged.

In the land of Youzhou, there is a lack of Taoist masters. If they stay there, they will inevitably be buried. After knowing this, His Highness King Zhao intends to help them go south to Longhu Mountain to seek Taoism.

But before that, it is natural to ask the Heavenly Master what he means. "

Lei Jun knew that the other party's subtext was whether he, a new heavenly master, had any plans to accept any more direct disciples.

Over the years, Zhao Wang Zhang Teng is not the first person to pay attention to this issue.

Including Zhang Mu, King of Xun'an, Shangguan Sheng of the Shangguan clan, and others are also concerned about this issue.

Especially today when Lei Jun takes over the ancestral gate of Longhu Mountain.

If there were still people who were concerned about Taoist Master Lei's marriage in the past, as Lei Jun's age and cultivation have grown, no one dares to inquire about this matter anymore.

Interested people began to focus on the position of Lei Jun's direct disciple.

Nowadays, being a direct disciple of the Heavenly Master has extraordinary significance and treatment.

Just like when the previous Celestial Master Li Qingfeng was still alive, he recruited disciples, which always attracted people's attention.

Some of the choices are even more intriguing.

Xu Yuanzhen and Tang Xiaotang have no descendants.

After all, Lei Jun has a disciple named Zhuo Baojie.

Now that a precedent has been set, everyone is thinking about it.

"Our sect guides those who want to go back to the mountain. The first thing we do is focus on fate and the Dharma. We never force anyone."

Facing Jiang Yuan, Lei Jun calmly said: "There is a genius who comes to Longhu Mountain to seek enlightenment. It is also a matter of fate. It is natural. His Highness King Zhao is determined."

Jiang Yuan secretly breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this.

It was different from Qingfeng Li back then.

Now if you want to become Lei Jun's direct disciple, family background seems to have no effect. You must be able to enter Master Lei Tian's Dharma Eyes.

However, Lei Jun does not object to people from Youzhou in the north coming to Longhu Mountain to seek immortality and ask questions.

At least, he didn't show any obvious ill feelings towards His Highness King Zhao.

With this in mind, Jiang Yuan's heart that had been hanging on him immediately relaxed.

After all, King Zhao currently has frequent interactions with the Lin Clan of Youzhou and the Ye Clan of Cangzhou, and these two families had been at odds with the Tianshi Mansion.

Fortunately, Master Lei Tian is calm and gentle, not as sharp as Xu Yuanzhen and Tang Xiaotang...

Jiang Yuan chatted with Lei Jun for a few more words, but didn't want to stay any longer, so he took the initiative to stand up and leave.

After he came out, he saw two scholars talking from a distance.

One was Shangguan Zhengqing who came out one step ahead of him.

The other one is Meng Shaojie, who also served as the prince's companion.

But as far as Jiang Yuan knew, Meng Shaojie left the East Palace a long time ago.

"It's been three days since we've been apart, so we should treat each other with admiration. The young hero has accumulated a lot of experience, and now he has the potential to reach the sky. It's gratifying and congratulatory."

Shangguan Zhengqing exchanged greetings with Meng Shaojie, and he was also surprised at this moment.

Because the other party was like him, already at the sixth level of cultivation.

Once upon a time, among the several princes studying with him, Meng Shaojie had the lowest level of cultivation and made slow progress. He kept studying hard, but he was left behind and could not even see the shadow of Shangguan Zhengqing and others.

Unexpectedly, the other party soared into the sky, and now his level has actually caught up with his Shangguan Zhengqing.

"Thanks to Mr. Xiao and Fang Jijiu for their guidance."

Meng Shaojie looked calm: "I also want to thank Master Lei Tian for his guidance."

A smile appeared on his face:

"I came here to pay homage to the mountain to observe the ceremony. Firstly, I want to congratulate Master Lei Tian. Secondly, I also have some knowledge and want to ask Master Tian for advice."

Shangguan Zhengqing knew that Meng Shaojie was unconscious on Longhu Mountain and was later rescued by Lei Jun. Shangguan Zhengqing knew about it because he was also on the mountain at the time.

Later, when Lei Jun visited Luoyang, the imperial capital, Shangguan Zhengqing also heard about Meng Shaojie's visit.

But the familiarity between Meng Shaojie and the new Celestial Master Lei Jun was still somewhat beyond Shangguan Zhengqing's expectations.

On his face, he was chatting with Meng Shaojie all over the world, but many thoughts flashed through his mind:

It is said that a person can ascend to heaven by a chicken or a dog. Previously, he only focused on people related to the Celestial Master's Mansion and the new Celestial Master Lei Jun. There was some negligence. There are also objects outside the mansion that need to be paid attention to.

Fortunately, Meng Shaojie was not only familiar with Xiao Chunhui, but also familiar with Prince Zhang Hui, so there would not be another way to win over Lei Tianshi's attitude.

After the two chatted for a while, Meng Shaojie said goodbye and left. Shangguan Zhengqing watched the other person disappear.

The smile on his face also disappeared.

The current situation is changing. Under the current environment, the new Celestial Master Lei Zhenren and the Celestial Master's Mansion are becoming more and more important. Everything related to them cannot be ignored... Shangguan Zhengqing said in his heart.

Returning to where he was staying, he found his uncle Shangguan Sheng waiting there.

"Uncle Clan." Shangguan Zhengqing stepped forward to greet him.

Shangguan Sheng looked at his nephew calmly: "Have you made up your mind and decided to place your hope in His Highness the Crown Prince?"

Shangguan Zhengqing sighed: "Uncle Clan, we actually don't have much choice.

Your Majesty's behavior today...is even more erratic than that of his predecessor, Master Tang Zhenren.

She paid too much attention to people in the market.

It’s just that the Tianshi Mansion is a Taoist holy land, and the Shence Army is becoming more and more hopeless. "

Shangguan Zhengqing frowned: "Shen Qubing has reached the eighth heaven, and another military monk named Jin Daowu, who was quickly promoted in the Shence Army by His Majesty's order, has now reached the seventh heaven.

On the other hand, we and the founding fathers such as the Lu family suffered huge losses in several wars. If things go on like this, the consequences will be disastrous.

If His Majesty finds his way back, all this will no longer be a problem, but looking at it now, we have to make other preparations early. "

Shangguan Sheng: "The general will not be happy to see you do this."

Shangguan Zhengqing: "Your Majesty and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince both have the surname Zhang."

Shangguan Sheng left: "You should take care of yourself. Remember, you can think about some things, but you can't talk about them, let alone put them into practice. Otherwise, we will attack the rebellious officials and traitors."

Shangguan Zhengqing: "Divide and prepare. If you are prepared, there will be no danger."

During the confrontation between Shangguan's uncle and nephew, Lei Jun met Meng Shaojie and gave him some advice.

Later in the evening, Meng Shaojie once again competed with Zhuo Baojie, Lei Jun's direct disciple.

Lei Jun himself went to the Great Alchemy Room in the mansion.

There, he invited four groups of guests at the same time.

Medicine King Sun Mingjing and his disciples return to heaven to master Yu Cheng.

Xiao Chunhui and Zhang Mu, King of Xunan, from the Tang imperial family.

Zhang Taigang and Ji Chuan from Shushan School.

And, Nie Fang, the master of Xuanji Temple in Tianshi Mansion’s own sect.
