Seeking good fortune and avoiding misfortune starts from Tianshi Mansion

Chapter 548 547. Master Lei and Master Zhuo (two chapters in one)

Like the previous birthday celebrations, Lei Jun did not care about the ostentation, but he did not keep others away.

He was keen on his own meditation and cultivation, and he was also not against interpersonal relationships.

The turmoil in the mortal world is also a natural part of the Three Realms.

And with Lei Jun's status and position, he did not explicitly refuse, so naturally many people came to visit him.

It is a rare opportunity to get close to Master Lei, who rarely sets foot in the mortal world now, so many people came to congratulate and greet him.

Even if the Confucian saints Yan Aoyun, Jiao Feiyang, Shao Bowen and other Confucian saints in the Confucian World did not come in person, they all sent their disciples and students to come.

The head of Luofu Mountain, Taoist Long Qiu, even crossed the Abyss of Time to come in person.

On the side of the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths World, not only the heads and elders of the major Taoist holy places came, but also representatives from other dynasties and holy places also came in an endless stream.

It has been nearly ten years since the ten lands were unified and the land boundary was redefined.

Lei Jun often lives in the land boundary Youdu, where he has nothing to do. Most people naturally dare not disturb him, so the land boundary Youdu has always been quiet and cold.

Until this summer, there was finally something different here.

In the eyes of ordinary mortals and middle and lower-level cultivators, many Taoist priests, great scholars, and eminent monks who are extraordinary and otherworldly are admired by the world.

But now they are gathered in the land boundary Youdu, and their arrival has condensed into a bit of the hustle and bustle of the world.

Zhuo Baojie, the contemporary Tianshi of Longhu Mountain, after settling the affairs of the mansion, brought some fellow disciples to the land boundary Youdu to celebrate the birthday of his master. At the same time, they also acted as the host and assumed the responsibility of knowing the guests.

Zhuo Tianshi has perfected the fifth level of the ninth heaven and the cultivation realm of the five qi facing the mysterious. In today's world, he can also be called the top existence below the immortals. Standing in Youdu, welcoming and seeing off on behalf of his own master, everything is in order.

After greeting the Luofu Mountain head Longqiu Taoist from the Confucian World and instructing his disciple An Buzheng to welcome him in, Zhuo Baojie looked into the distance.

A white-robed scholar appeared outside the Youdu of the Earth Realm.

His temperament was gentle but simple and upright, and he looked to be about thirty or forty years old.

"Mr. Yongshan has come to our house, and I am sorry for not welcoming you." Zhuo Baojie greeted him.

The visitor was Fang Yue.

At the beginning of this spring, when everything revived, Fang Yue became a saint on the spot, successfully opened the door to the immortal world, and achieved the realm of a Confucian saint.

After Chu Yu, the lineage of the divine archer, Confucianism has another Confucian saint who chants and inherits.

At this time, there was another cultivator related to Confucianism but "went astray". He had been in seclusion for some time and was also trying to accumulate and impact the immortal world.

Zhou Pu, the king of the Later Han Dynasty.

After the nine heavens and ten earths were unified again and the human world was stable, he began to retreat and practice.

His roots are special, and he is the Confucian masterstroke of gratitude to heaven and earth.

But for various reasons, he entered the path of martial arts practice.

However, it did not affect his achievement of the realm of the Ninth Heaven Martial Saint many years ago, and his cultivation level improved rapidly.

Originally, his speed of impacting the fairyland should be close to Shen Qubing.

But time and fate, a martial fairy pupil helped him to progress faster before, but it also buried hidden dangers for him.

Fortunately, Zhou Pu stopped in time.

Otherwise, he might really achieve martial fairy earlier.

But under the control of Zheng Baiyu's New Star Tianshu, Zhou Pu's final fate is probably the same as Ren Caomu.

Fortunately, the martial fairy pupil and Zheng Baiyu have become history.

Zhou Pu seemed to be in trouble before, but now he can go into battle lightly. He is already standing at the gate of the fairyland. It is very likely that he will successfully open the fairy gate after Fang Yue and become another martial fairy in the world of the nine heavens and ten earths.

After Fang Yue became a saint on the spot, someone from the Tianshi Mansion of Longhu Mountain also congratulated him.

He came in person to celebrate Lei Jun's birthday. On the one hand, he had been very close to Lei Jun in the past, and on the other hand, he had other considerations for this return gift.

After greeting Zhuo Baojie, Fang Yue said in a gentle tone: "I have met your master, Master Lei, and asked for his advice. There may be some things that Master Zhuo will discuss."

Zhuo Baojie: "Mr. Yongshan is too polite."

A purple-robed Taoist priest from Youdu came out to greet him. He was of medium stature and smiled: "Master, I will take Mr. Yongshan in. Brother Master is waiting."

The man was Chu Kun.

Zhuo Baojie: "Thank you, Master."

Fang Yue: "How are you, Master Chu?"

Chu Kun smiled and said, "Neither good nor bad. I have been busy with cultivation in recent years and have not been able to meet my fellow Taoist friends much. I am lazy this time. I am taking advantage of the birthday of the head master. Everyone is gathered together to sit with old friends. Mr. Fang, please come in."

In addition to Fang Yue, there are many other cultivators who have opened the immortal gate to congratulate.

A few months ago, most of them had congratulated Fang Yue, who had just become a saint, so they would not steal the show at this moment.

When the time was approaching, Lei Jun, wearing a yellow brocade robe, appeared accompanied by Zhuo Baojie, who was wearing a nine-color robe.

This trip was not in vain.

The head of Xuanmen, Lei Tianjun, later gave a lecture in Youdu, the earthly world.

All the participants benefited a lot.

Whether in terms of qualifications and knowledge, or in terms of the current realm and strength, Lei Jun's lectures directly pointed to the mystery of the great way.

While the descendants of the various Taoist sects benefited from it, the cultivators of other sects also benefited greatly from listening to Lei Jun's words.

Even Fang Yue and others who had already opened the door to immortality used this to constantly verify what they had learned in the past and what they were thinking at the moment.

As for the Taoist cultivator Long Qiu from the Confucian world, he was even more fascinated.

If he hadn't been the head of a sect and cared about his Luofu Mountain Taoism and his disciples, Taoist Longqiu would have really hoped to live in the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths forever, and would not miss any opportunity to listen to Lei Jun's teachings and ask for his advice.

When the meeting ended, almost everyone still had something to say, but no one dared to disturb Headmaster Lei again, so most of them said goodbye and left.

However, there are also some guests who, at the invitation of Zhuo Tianshi, the contemporary head of Longhu Mountain Tianshi Mansion, stayed in the realm for a while.

Zhuo Baojie led everyone to leave the Nether City and meet in a cave dojo in the mountains and sea outside the Nether Underworld.

They are not discussing secret and urgent matters, but are closely related to the current sentient beings in the world.

"Pindao invites all my colleagues to sit down together today. Let's continue to discuss the next charter so that all parties can work together in the future."

Zhuo Baojie gave a Taoist bow to everyone present.

Everyone returned the favor one after another.

Although there were no masters present who had opened the Immortal Gate, there were many people with high positions and high esteem.

For example, Sun Mingjing, the contemporary king of medicine, who has always had close ties with the Tianshi Mansion, Zhang Taigang, the head of the Dongfeng branch of the Shushan sect, Nie Fang, the leader of Xuanji Temple, Peng Qiaoyang, the wizard of Lingshan, Zhu Junjie, Li Feiyang and others are all ninth-level monks. And most of them are at the helm of one party.

"It's hard to say that things have been smooth in the past two years. Fortunately, food production has still increased significantly. This is mostly due to the great witches of the Gu art lineage."

Zhuo Baojie said: "At the same time, there are many Lao Xuanji Guan Guanzhu Nie and colleagues from the Shushan Sect."

In addition to Lingshan Wu Peng Qiaoyang, the great shamans present also included Hu Hengyuan, the old head of Yinshan Cave, and Tian Cheng, the elder who has begun to take over the sect of Yinshan Cave in recent years.

Ever since Lei Jun chatted with Hu Hengyuan and Tian Cheng about related matters in the early years, the Holy Land of the Gu Art of the Southern Wilderness Wumen has been focusing on measures to benefit farmers over the years.

After nearly a hundred years of ups and downs, Hu Hengyuan and Tian Cheng successively ascended to the realm of the Nine Heavens. The human world and the world have also undergone changes, but related things have persisted.

As the Tang Dynasty Wumen, the people of Dihai Jiuli, the Kongsang Didu lineage, the Lingshan Wumen lineage, and many other sources of Wumen gradually communicated with each other in a relatively peaceful way, whether they had the same spirit or not, so there were more in this regard. The great witch and his heirs joined in.

Among them, Qiao Yang, the great witch who has reached the fifth level of the Nine Heavens and has perfected it, has put a lot of effort into it.

Although it has continuously experienced earth-shattering changes such as the merging of the human world and the reunification of the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, except before and after the incident, the human world was mostly peaceful for the rest of the time.

The people of Li live a prosperous life and will not be displaced.

Although the Tang Dynasty, Han Dynasty, Later Han Dynasty, Jin Dynasty, Song Dynasty and other dynasties still had some minor frictions with each other from time to time, they still maintained restraint, and the disasters of war gradually moved away from the world.

The greatest manifestation of private wealth is the substantial growth in population over the past few decades.

Fortunately, after the merger of the human world, the heaven and earth are so vast that they can still accommodate the people of the previous nine heavens and ten lands.

In the past, this was a sign of prosperity and prosperity for the country and its people.

However, headed by Zhu Junjie, the great Confucian scholars who have taken the path of managing the world and benefiting the people have begun to pay close attention to related matters in recent years.

Grain production continues to increase, supporting population growth.

On the other hand, Qiao Yang was originally the top witch doctor of Lingshan Wusect. In addition to helping Hu Hengyuan, Tian Cheng and others to benefit farmers, he also kept in constant contact with Sun Mingjing, who was in the medical and martial arts lineage, keeping people away from illness.

In addition to the two branches of witchcraft, medicine and martial arts, relevant people present were also the high-gong elders of Longhu Mountain Tianshi Mansion, Zhuo Baojie's junior sister Qin Caiwei, and the contemporary master of Zhenwu Temple Chen Ning.

After Mu Chunyang became a Yuanshen and ascended to immortality, he gradually passed on the mantle of Zhenwu Guan to Chen Ning and other younger generations.

Chen Ning has now also reached the level of the Nine Heavens Mahayana of the Taoist Alchemy Sect. He is the same as Jiang Yu, the master of the Pure Yang Palace, who is also a pure yin immortal. Although his cultivation level is inferior to that of his opponent, his future is equally promising.

In addition to a group of human monks, Qingluan Zhuyin, who originally lived in Canghuan, was also present.

The breeding of various precious spiritual flowers and spiritual herbs and even the preparation of elixirs, spiritual beasts such as Qingluan and Zhuyin are also involved.

Medical advancement also supports population growth.

On this basis, more people began to concentrate in cities and towns, forming larger urban household groups than in previous dynasties.

Therefore, among the people invited by Zhuo Bao Festival this time, there were also important officials from major dynasties, such as Ling Hui and Song Hang from the Tang Dynasty, Li Feiyang and Wang Jixiu from the Han Dynasty, and countless people from the Later Han Dynasty except Geng Yuanyan. His important minister Gu Muqing and so on.

Although Zhu Junjie has resigned, he is still a famous scholar all over the world.

Gu Muqing, who came here from the Later Han Dynasty, was his student and a great Confucian who practiced the methods of managing the world and benefiting the people, so he was quite sensitive to relevant changes.

As for the inheritance of Xuanji Guan founded by Nie Fang, as well as the Shushan sect, the holy land of Taoist weapon refining sect, especially the monks from Shushan East Peak such as Zhang Taigang, Xie Yiying, and Cai Yu who were present this time, in recent years, they have made great achievements in magic weapons and magic weapons. Refining greatly supports the various attempts and promotions of Qiao Yang, Hu Hengyuan, Sun Mingjing and others.

Especially in Xuanji Guan, after hundreds of years of development, while there are now many disciples, the internal structure has also become more refined and the divisions have become more obvious.

Some people are keen to sacrifice and refine magic weapons and weapons that are stronger than fighting skills to kill people.

Some people are keen on cultivating and developing magic weapons and instruments with relatively mild effects.

These are intertwined with each other, and some people think more about practitioners, and continue to study and break through to push the relevant realms and effects as high as possible.

Others are more inclined to push forward to introduce new ideas, continue to study, focus on popularization, and serve middle and lower-level monks, and even civilians who have no cultivation experience.

One of Nie Fang's direct disciples, Niu Gushou, attended the meeting today.

This elder Niu of Xuanji Temple is a Taoist Yanshi lineage elder who is inclined to popularize and simplify the middle and lower level magic weapons and instruments, and is more inclined to the direction of "daily civilian use". He is a representative figure in this field.

Niu Gushou has made outstanding contributions in various related fields, not limited to agricultural and medical use.

He has become famous in the world today, but it is also accompanied by some controversy.

Nie Fang regards him as a proud disciple.

Zhuo Baojie looked at the people present and recalled from time to time some words that Lei Jun said accidentally when he and Nie Fang and a few others were listening to the teachings of his master Lei Jun:

"Practitioners in the world should be sympathetic to the people, not to involve innocent people, let alone indiscriminate killing.

But apart from the heart of cherishing life, it is difficult to ask practitioners to turn to be willing to dedicate themselves and serve the secular people, and the higher the level of cultivation, the more so.

It is possible to regulate rewards and punishments and enforce them, and even to manipulate people's souls openly or secretly, but I will not do it.

Naturally, if the superior likes something, the subordinates will follow suit. , even if the poor Taoist and Tianrui layman have no intention to be like the old subordinates of the Heavenly Palace and the Dao Kingdom in the human world, as long as some of their thoughts and tendencies are revealed, the human world will more or less respond.

It is beneficial to the people, does not violate one's own heart, and does not harm the harmony of heaven. The poor Taoist will not turn around to prevent similar things.

In fact, for this world, if our generation interferes less, the world will change over the centuries and millennia, and ordinary people may also have long-term development. "

Zhuo Baojie often feels deeply when he recalls what Lei Jun said in the past.

Although his master is indifferent and peaceful, he has a compassionate heart.

Therefore, as he expected, in today's world of nine heavens and ten earths, if the upper is good, the lower will follow suit. Including the immortals of various sects, the practitioners in this world pay attention to sympathizing with the people's strength. Starting with the younger disciples of the Tianshi Mansion, Hu Hengyuan, Tian Cheng, and Nie Fang of Xuanji Temple, they were inspired by Lei Jun to help ordinary people, and then a large number of cultivators participated in it.

But how much energy and thought each practitioner puts into this varies from person to person.

For most people, it is undoubtedly extremely difficult to persist in something that is not beneficial to them, especially something that is not beneficial not only in the short term but also in the long term.

Indeed, as long as there is no major accident, Lei Tianjun can exist in this world for a long time, long enough to cover the lifespan of generations of practitioners in the world.

But even if people can persist, they may still be superficial.

Even in the future, whether Lei Jun dies or leaves in transcendence or completely ignores worldly affairs, all this may usher in a fierce rebound.

Maybe Lei Jun himself doesn't care, but he won't let it go.

It is naturally difficult to want most practitioners to be willing to work for mortals.

Unless, while benefiting others, they also benefit themselves, and the benefit to themselves is greater, even overwhelming the harm to others and the benefit to themselves.

In ancient and modern times, there are often a large number of peripheral and downstream industries around various major sects of practice that penetrate into the secular world, just like the roots of a big tree penetrate into the soil to obtain nutrients.

But in the eyes of Zhuo Baojie, Nie Fang and others, the efficiency in the past was too low and too elementary.

Even, including the previous emperor's art of attracting the people's hearts and blessing the national destiny dragon vein, although huge and stable, it was still too crude.

The related industries are constantly rising, more systematic, more concentrated, and more large, which can give cultivators more powerful support, so that cultivators may pay more attention to the people, and even in turn support the secular people, and be willing to take the initiative to make advance investments.

In today's world, Longhushan Tianshi Mansion, Shushan Sect, Xuanji Temple, Yinshan Cave, and Huitiantang have gradually shown signs of this.

More and more people in the secular world are investing in related industries around the major sects, rather than the simple manual planting, picking, and digging in the past.

Especially in Xuanji Temple, a large number of metallurgical workshops have been opened over the years.

A few of them are hosted by people who are no longer disciples of Xuanji Temple with cultivation, but those workshops still produce and refine various equipment according to the needs of Xuanji Temple for supply.

Metallurgical refining techniques and furnaces that have nothing to do with the firepower cultivated by practitioners are constantly innovating.

Later, Niu Gushou went there for a few rounds and improved the furnaces used by mortals to increase the firepower.

Therefore, regarding the slight controversy against Niu Gushou in the outside world, Nie Fang has always protected and supported his proud disciple.

Nowadays, people like him are a minority after all.

And it is not difficult for Nie Fang to figure out the problem of taking whatever he wants and exhausting the pond to catch fish.

Therefore, under his rule, Xuanji Temple purchased or purchased the output of the workshops.

Later, the output of many workshops under the mountain of Xuanji Temple became higher and higher. In recent years, they even began to export while meeting the needs of Xuanji Temple itself.

For Zhuo Baojie, he hopes that similar situations will become common.

Perhaps, with his own master, it can be maintained forever.

But this goes back to the earlier question, what if Master Lei is gone?

I hope that as time goes by, more and more people can reach a consensus and finally maintain a stable framework together... Zhuo Baojie thought.

He recalled that Master Lei Jun had only started out simply in the past, but he chose to do alchemy, refining, and agriculture, perhaps because these were closely related to the practitioners' own practice, and they could help and support each other.

"Master Zhuo Tian has a calm mind, and Master Lei has successors." Fang Yue, who was still in the underworld, looked at the mountains and seas in the darkness in the distance, and said to Lei Jun beside him.

Lei Jun: "Some of the relevant things come from my personal imagination, so I'm sorry to make Mr. Fang laugh.

It is possible that all of this may go through a long process of repetition and ultimately fail.

Historical changes have their own trends, and we do not force it. However, Hua Jie has this intention of managing the world and benefiting the people, and his poverty will not stop him. For him, this is also an experience. "

Since Zhuo Baojie succeeded the Heavenly Master, he rarely made his own actions and ideas, but more often Xiao Gui and Cao followed him to continue and promote the previous actions of his mentor Lei Jun.

There are occasional rumors from the outside world that Zhuo Tianshi is just a mouthpiece for Master Lei.

Or perhaps Master Zhuo Tian knew that his qualifications and prestige were not outstanding, so he did not take the risk of establishing new measures to confirm his authority. Instead, he took the initiative to continue Master Lei Jun's various measures and arrangements to further inherit the popularity of his mentor.

Even though Zhuo Baojie, who is the Perfect Mahayana and High True Master of the Nine Heavens, is already the top master in the human world today, his future is still limitless, and the wonderland is in sight.

There are some rumors from the outside world, but Zhuo Baojie is like a breeze blowing on his face, with a peaceful mind.

In Fang Yue's view, there is nothing wrong with Zhuo Baojie as the new Heavenly Master after Lei Jun.

If there are no major problems with Master Lei Tianshi's previous actions, then it would be best for Master Zhuo Tianshi to continue them.

Lei Tianjun's position as the Heavenly Master of Longhu Mountain was really short-lived.

Not to mention that he has become an immortal, he is just a monk for three days. Unless there is a major accident, a hundred years is a very short term.

Because he is still alive, his influence may be limited.

Or maybe Lei Jun himself doesn't mind.

After Zhuo Baojie took over, he continued to promote and extend Lei Jun's previous initiatives, further deepening and implementing them, until he finally laid a solid foundation and was completely stable, thereby striving to attract more and more latecomers to voluntarily follow and maintain. .

In this case, if Zhuo Tianshi always thinks of new ideas for the sake of his own sense of existence, Fang Yue will not be optimistic about him.

"It's true that Fang is going to do something deviant this time." Fang Yue said slowly.

Lei Jun nodded: "Although the poor Taoist lives in a remote area, he has heard about it. Is the layman interested in further adjusting the teaching of the academy?"

Fang Yue: "Exactly."

The academies established by the Tang Dynasty have a history of more than 100 years.

After Xiao Chunhui, Fang Yue took charge of this matter for longer than Xiao Chunhui.

During his tenure, the major academies were no longer limited to states and provinces, but went further into prefectures and counties, gradually and completely replacing the former official schools of the Tang Dynasty.

Even after the human world merged, Fang Yue was still steadily advancing all this.

Moreover, he also had many exchanges with people such as Fang Junmei of the Han Dynasty and Geng Yuanyan of the Later Han Dynasty.

Although the relationship between the major dynasties was complicated, academic exchanges were quite smooth with mutual restraint and acquiescence.

It was in response to Zhuo Baojie, Nie Fang, Sun Mingjing, Qiao Yang, Zhang Taigang, Hu Hengyuan, Zhu Junjie and others that Fang Yue was determined to introduce more agriculture, arithmetic, craftsmanship, medicine and other related content into the academy.

Similar disciplines, including those related to Buddhism and Taoism, are already present in the academy.

Fang Yue is now determined to further increase the proportion and continue to increase.

He has already asked Zhang Wantong for instructions on relevant matters.

After meeting Lei Jun, Fang Yue still wanted to pay an audience to King Zhou Pu of the Later Han Dynasty after he came out of seclusion later, and asked to see Emperor Xiang Sheng of the Han Dynasty.

"If necessary, layman Fang can go to Tonghuajie and discuss with other Taoist friends." Lei Jun said.

Fang Yue: "I heard from Master Zhuo Tian and Master Nie that many of their ideas came from Master Lei, so I hope to ask you for more advice on this."

Lei Jun: "Don't hesitate to ask for advice. There are specializations in the art, and there is no end to learning. There are many things that a poor person knows only superficially. Let's communicate slowly."

Fang Yue: "Thank you, Headmaster Lei. In that case, Fang will go to see Master Zhuo Tian, ​​Headmaster Nie, and Elder Qiao first to come up with the general rules."

After saying goodbye to Lei Jun and Chu Kun, he also went to the mountains and sea.

"After Fang Jushi, is His Royal Highness the King of the Later Han Dynasty." Chu Kun and Lei Jun asked: "After that, is he Daoist Friend Jiang from Chunyang Palace?"

Lei Jun nodded lightly.

After Zhou Pu, the person closest to the fairyland in the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths is Jiang Yu of Chunyang Palace.

However, Xiao Chunhui and Meng Shaojie opened up a new world of learning and received natural feedback, and with the help of Confucian classics and Pingyun Qingyun, the rising momentum of the latecomers was strong.

In the next few decades, they, together with Yue Xiling, Zhang Taigang, Kang Ming, Nie Fang, Zhuo Baojie and others, formed the next batch of echelons to attack the fairyland.

"During this period, there were two other dark horses that started too late but caught up quickly." Lei Junyan said.

Chu Kun understood: "Xu Hai and Xu Wu."
