Seeking good fortune and avoiding misfortune starts from Tianshi Mansion

"The disciple will follow the master's instructions." Zhuo Baojie said. After the master and disciple chatted for a while, Lei Junyan said: "During this period, you have been traveling between the two worlds, and stayed longer in the Confucian Academy. After this trip, you can simply resign from the post of Patrol Elder."

Generally speaking, the Patrol Elder is also replaced every three years.

However, he can be re-elected or re-elected as needed, so Zhuo Baojie has been serving as Patrol Elder for a long time.

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

"This time, you can finish the task and don't do anything else. In addition to teaching Xuwu, you should practice diligently on weekdays."

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

Zhuo Baojie heard this and raised his head to look at Lei Jun: "Master——"

Lei Jun smiled and said: "Master, it doesn't matter. You and other people in the mansion can start at any time when you are ready. But since you all like to say that Master is running out of time, then this time Master will deliberately run out of time and work for a hundred years, so you wait patiently for another six years."

Zhuo Baojie: "Master, you can make your disciples suffer "I have already received your order. I will do my best, but I think you don't need to be so anxious."

Lei Jun: "I don't want to ask too much about human affairs. You have been managing the mansion for these years. There is nothing wrong. In this case, of course, you don't need to occupy the position of Heavenly Master anymore. You should pass it on to the next generation."

Zhuo Baojie saluted: "I will follow my teacher's example and help the master with all my heart."

Lei Jun smiled and said: "I will go to the Steward Hall later. Help your junior sister first."

Zhuo Baojie blinked: "Did you really send the second junior sister to the Steward Hall to guard?"

He had heard about it before he came back from the Confucian World.

Han Xiaofei, a junior sister of the same clan and the same lineage as him, successfully survived the natural disaster between the eighth and ninth heavens and achieved the ninth heaven of the Taoist Talisman School.

After Zhuo Baojie, Qin Caiwei and Xin Beiyuan, the Longhu Mountain Heavenly Master Mansion has added another ninth heaven of the Mahayana.

Zhuo Baojie also heard that although Cheng Rongrong was a little slower than Han Xiaofei, she had also been in seclusion recently. It seemed that she would also attack the natural disaster between the eighth and ninth heavens.

Han Xiaofei had become calmer after she became an adult, but she still seemed a little jumpy from time to time.

It would be fine if she sat in the seat next to him, but if she was to take one of the two positions, the instructor of the Taoist Children's Academy and the elder on duty in the Deacon Hall, Zhuo Baojie would be a little nervous.

For the former, Han Xiaofei's level of lectures is naturally not a problem, but it is hard to say whether she will lead the next generation of flowers in the Tianshi Mansion astray.

As for the latter, it is not a big deal to involve various affairs in the mansion, but the number is numerous and dense.

Lei Jun: "The necessary training is indispensable, and she has a sense of propriety. You can just assist her from the side."

Zhuo Baojie: "Yes, the disciple will follow the master's teachings."

The master and the disciple chatted for a few more words, and then Zhuo Baojie took his leave.

Only Lei Jun was left around the Wanfa Sect Altar.

Suddenly, the Tiantongdiche Fa flashed around him, and then a voice came from it:

"Junior brother, do you want to make it a rule in the future, and the Heavenly Master will be in office for a hundred years?"

Lei Jun shook his head: "How could it be? Of course, those who come later can do the same as me, even if it exceeds a hundred years, it doesn't matter. The descendants of the future have their own ideas and I am only responsible for my own decision."

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

Wang Guiyuan said: "As you said, it's too early and it's not appropriate to jump to conclusions.

However, the lineage of Confucian Neo-Confucianism may have a saint."

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

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

The monarch who opened the immortal gate can not only help Zhou Mingzhe, Chao Feng and others to re-establish a stable Neo-Confucian patriarchal ritual framework, but also open up the upper limit for them.

Chen Yu and Zhou Mingzhe had tried their best to achieve the goal of becoming a saint, but 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 at the same time have a high level are no longer troubled by Yuan Lao's corruption, and they have the possibility and hope to move forward again.

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

Wang Guiyuan said after a moment of silence: "The generation of nephew Hua Jie is settled, and the generation of Xu Wu and Xu Hai---

Lei Jun: "Everyone needs to walk their own way. They may encounter the same or different problems. We can teach them some things, but they still have to decide where to go in the end. "

In the Tiantong Diche Fazhuan, Wang Guiyuan sighed softly.

An Buzheng is Zhuo Baojie's direct disciple, and will soon become the direct disciple of the new generation of Tianshi, and is even the only one at present.

He is Lei Jun's direct disciple, and has the same Liangyi immortal body as Lei Jun before, and even now that he is an adult, his stature is quite tall.

In the eyes of many people, he looks very much like his master Lei Jun, as if he is the future successor of the mantle given by heaven, and is more suitable than his master Zhuo Baojie.

Countless people are optimistic about his future becoming the leader of the new generation of Tianshi Mansion, 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 Master Lei look at An Buzheng like he looks at his younger self?

A few people even secretly speculated that whether Elder Zhuo was lucky or thoughtful, it was precisely because of such a disciple that Lei Jun admired and loved him so much 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 the inside is actually quite different.

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 open-minded and casual than Lei Jun on the outside, more like Tang Xiaotang and Xu Yuanzhen, when it comes to cultivation and the position of Heavenly Master,

Chi Haifeng's views 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 his invincible appearance, they didn'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 competitiveness 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 level or talent base, An Buzheng is a comprehensively upgraded version of Li Zhengxuan, far superior to 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, Xu Wu has done a good job, and Hua Jie, the master, has also done a good job."

He doesn't mind that his direct disciples and grandchildren are 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 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 lamented.

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 attain the second level of Buddhist Buddhism's golden 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 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 objections 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.

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 flash.

In the summer of this year, Lei Jun celebrated his 160th birthday.

Considering that the fifteenth day of the first month of the next year is the date of the new seal-granting ceremony, Lei Jun has no intention of merging the ceremony and has no intention of rescheduling the ceremony.

Therefore, it was decided to hold the rumor ceremony on the fifteenth day of the seventh month of this summer.

Lei Jun, the 36th Heavenly Master of Longhu Mountain, who has taken over the Heavenly Master's Mansion for a hundred years, will formally hand over the position of Heavenly Master and spread the news to fellow Taoists around the world to watch and witness it.

When the news came out, clouds moved in all directions.

Representatives from all over the country rushed to Longhu Mountain early to participate in the grand event.

The one who took over the Heavenly Master's Mansion was the eldest disciple of Lei Zhangjiao, Elder Zhuo Baojie.

To this day, his cultivation has reached the fourth level of the Ninth Heaven, and he is only one step away from the perfect five dynasties of the Nine Heavens. He is the first master in the world under the fairyland of the Heavenly Master's Mansion of Longhu Mountain.

As the grand ceremony approached, Elder Zhuo needed to follow Master Lei, who was still the Heavenly Master, to worship the ancestors of the sect at the ancestral mausoleum in the back mountain.

The remaining two disciples of Master Lei, Han Xiaofei and Feng Ting, and Zhuo Baojie's own disciple An Buzheng, were mainly responsible for the reception work.

Needless to say, the Taoist sect, 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 came to congratulate, and the master of Xuanji Temple, Nie Fang, was even more indispensable.

In the Buddhist sect, a group of high monks, including the abbot of Xinguan of Xuantian Temple, the abbot of Ruyuan of Bodhi Temple, and the abbot of Miaoxin of Tianlong Temple, came together.

In the witch sect, three fairyland witch kings visited at once.

After Yun Mobai and Chu Kun ascended to immortality, Sun Li and Li Tianqing also successfully crossed the natural chasm one after another.

Sun Li is both an elder of the Samsara Abyss and one of the Ten Witches of Lingshan.

Under his leadership, the various witch inheritances that were scattered due to the division of the human world have not merged like the Taoist and Buddhist holy places, but the current exchanges are much closer.

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

On the side of the Lingshan Witch Sect, there are also great witches such as Lei Lei.

And those who came with Li Tianqing include Li Jin, Li Ying and other top witches of the Jiuli tribe in the Earth Sea.

Until now, the human world has merged, and it has gradually become common for the people of Jiuli to walk in the sun.

However, due to historical reasons, the people of Jiuli still have few direct exchanges with the people of the human world.

It is even more rare for so many Jiuli leaders to come together from the Earth Sea like today.

Lei Zhangjiao's second disciple, Elder Han Xiaofei, was very tactful and courteous in such a formal occasion. Her appearance was undoubtedly that of a great master, like a fairy, and there was nothing wrong with her.

But when Sun Li, Zhao Qianran, and Li Tianqing were received by Grandmaster Yuan Mobai himself, and the other members of the Wu Sect, especially the people of the Jiuli of the Earth Sea, entered, Han Xiaofei, who stayed outside, quietly sent a message to Cheng Rongrong, who was also in charge of reception outside:

"Little Senior Sister, it's rare for the leaders of the Jiuli of the Earth Realm to go out of the Earth Sea together. This trip to attend the succession ceremony of the eldest brother, could it be related to the legend of Shanpi and Danyou in the past?"

The big tail was tucked behind his back, silently dodging the other party's quietly extended hand, and the red-brown haired elder of a red panda was conspicuous as if nothing had happened:

"Senior Brother Zhuo is not here at the moment, you can try to ask other elders about this question."

Who else can you ask?

Grandmaster?

Han Xiaofei felt that there was little hope.

The master has a better temper than the eldest brother, but let’s not mention that he has already ascended to heaven. The master can easily make others lose their temper—·

He had inexplicable crooked thoughts in his mind, but his face did not affect the image of Elder Han at the moment. He welcomed the new guests to congratulate.

“Elder Han.” The visitor was dressed in casual clothes, tall, and had a strong warrior physique but restrained aura.

Han Xiaofei stepped forward to greet him: “His Majesty the Emperor of Han has come in person, and Longhu Mountain is full of glory.”

Han Emperor Xiang Sheng said: “No, we are here today to congratulate Longhu Mountain for its grand event.”

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

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

Xiang Sheng did not change his face, but just glanced at the other party calmly.

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

Xiang Sheng returned the greeting: "Brother Zhou."

The visitor was the contemporary monarch of the Later Han Dynasty, Zhou Pu, followed by a group of officials of the Later Han Dynasty.

Like Xiang Sheng and others, everyone was dressed in casual clothes without the pomp of an emperor, and came to watch the ceremony and congratulate as a fellow Taoist.

Xiang Sheng and Zhou Pu looked at each other, and did not feel the pressure from the look that made him feel earlier.

This made Xiang Sheng feel awe-inspiring.

The other party's cultivation strength did not regress, but more likely, the gap between the two sides was even greater than last time-

Chai Bin, who was born in the royal family of the former Great Song Dynasty, looked at this scene from a distance, his face calm.

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

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

The Great Ming Dynasty was destroyed.

At present, only the Great Tang, the Great Han, and the Later Han, which conflicted with the Great Han in the name of the country, are still standing.

But all this has little to do with Chai Bin.

Even if the Song Dynasty still exists, he will just watch from the sidelines.

Chai Bin came here not as a member of the Song Dynasty royal family, but as a high-ranking elder of the Taoist holy land Chunyang Palace, to congratulate the Taoist Xuanmen Master Lei for passing on the position of Heavenly Master to the same Taoist Zhuo of the Fuzhuan School.

Although it was not the first time, Chai Bin sincerely felt that his choice was correct.

When Xiang Sheng noticed Zhou Pu's change and was on guard, the third group of guests arrived.

They were clearly representatives of the Tang court from Luoyang.

They were nominally led by the eldest princess Zhang Ying.

But in fact, there were not only the Ninth Heaven Martial Saint Shen Qubing and the Great Confucian Meng Shaojie, but also Zhang Hui, who had already become a saint.

It's just that Zhang Hui and Meng Shaojie acted low-key, and Shen Qubing, as a military general, would not take the lead on this occasion, so Zhang Ying was the leader of the group of people who came to congratulate.

But no one would look down on them.

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

As for the Tang Emperor Zhang Wantong, like Lei Jun, he had long been an outsider.

Compared with the Tang Dynasty, the current dispute between the two Han dynasties is really not a big deal—"

Zhou Pu looked calm, and it was hard to know what he was thinking. He greeted Zhang Ying and others calmly.

The people from the two Han dynasties went first, while Zhang Hui, Shen Qubing, Meng Shaojie, Zhang Ying and others stayed outside for a while.

"Xiao Sanjie is in seclusion at a critical time, so she can't come this time." Shen Qubing apologized.

Chu Yu and Shangguan Yunbo are currently staying in Luoyang to preside over the situation.

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

And Xiao Chunhui will return from the Confucian world this time.

"I wish General Xiao to open the immortal gate as soon as possible. "Han Xiaofei and Cheng Rongrong said.

Similar to Xiao Xueting, there is also the head of the Xuehe Sect, Xing Feng.

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

As Lei Jun and others had expected, starting with Zhang Hui, Yuan Mobai, and Chu Kun, the next few decades will be a peak period for the top masters of the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths to impact the fairyland, and people have taken this last step one after another.

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

So compared to the earlier Tang Xiaotang and Lei Jun taking over the position of Heavenly Master, and even when Lei Jun took over the position of the head of Xuanmen, the scene of the Heavenly Master's succession ceremony today is much bigger.

Although Bai Mei and Zhao Chanyang did not come this time, Feng Ming, the phoenix in Cang Huan, came specially and congratulated on behalf of the True Dragon Hua Ming and the Golden Crow Haoyang.

And outside the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, there were also guests watching the ceremony.

Xiao Chun Hui returned to the human world here.

The people who came with him included representatives from the Confucian World.

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

Taoist Longqiu, the current head of Luofu Mountain, also came with him.

Yan Aoyun himself had to keep an eye on 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, so neither of them can go to the world of nine heavens and ten earths in person, so they had to prepare gifts and ask Xiao Chunhui and Shao Bowen to congratulate 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 before, there were as many as eight fairyland masters among the public guests.

As for the non-public "Venerable Huiyin, I will take care of this side, and Junior Sister Tang will go to the front. "Wang Guiyuan, who was wearing a crimson Taoist robe and a Taoist crown, said.

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

Beside him, Monk Huiyin looked no different from usual, except that a layer of light golden light seemed to appear on his skin.

After Wang Guiyuan or Venerable Faqing, the former new leader of the White Lotus Sect of the Tang Dynasty also successfully achieved the Buddhist Golden Body.

Even, he opened the immortal gate a little later than Lei Jun and others expected, lagging behind Sun Li, Li Tianqing and others.

The reason is not difficult to guess. After achieving the perfection of the five-layer Buddhist Golden Body of the Nine Heavens of the vow lineage, he probably studied other Buddhist traditions more.

So he specially learned from the Confucian Academy. Tang Xiaotang returned from the Great Thousand Worlds, and after returning, she was very excited to discuss the Dharma with Venerable Huiyin.

In the Rulin Great Thousand Worlds, she had the initiative, and could fight or leave at will.

She was willing to take the initiative to return to the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths Great Thousand Worlds, and the demons in the earthly realms over there would only thank God and wish to see her off.

It was a pity that after watching the ceremony, Tang Zhenjun wanted to go back again.

She came to join in the fun, and Wang Guiyuan called Huiyin, so Chu Kun stayed at the Wujian Time Abyss, and this time he only wished Prince Bao a successful ascension to the throne.

After listening to Wang Guiyuan's words, Tang Xiaotang was still unsatisfied: "Okay, then I'll go to the front to meet the others. Many of them opened the immortal gate when I was away, and see what they look like now. "

Wang Guiyuan greeted the Venerable Huiyin.

Lei Jun himself was secretly entertaining another guest at the moment.

Tianrui Layman, Zhang Wantong.

The two sides were familiar with each other, but this meeting was very private.

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

The reason why they did not contact each other through Confucianism or Taoism was that Lei Jun hoped Zhang Wantong would do him a favor.

"I am so angry and want to ask the layman for help to reproduce a person's life and Dharma. It may be quite difficult. I just hope that it will be as detailed as possible," Lei Jun said.

His request was beyond Zhang Wantong's expectations.

It was not Gao Tiansui.

It was not Zheng Baiyu.

It was not Wu Hailin.

It was not the Great Extinction Bodhisattva or the Hundred-Eyed Demon Tree.

If it was the Dragon Tiger Mountain Patriarch Tianshi or other legendary Taoist ancestors and gods, Zhang Wantong would not be surprised.

But——

Lei Jun said calmly: "——I want to ask the layman to return to heaven."
