Seeking good fortune and avoiding misfortune starts from Tianshi Mansion

Chapter 550 549. Continuing the fate of Longhu Mountain (two chapters in one)

"Losing for a while does not mean losing for a lifetime."

Zhuo Baojie was as casual as he was in front of his own disciples, and spoke frankly and bluntly: "But as of now, it is indeed lost."

He naturally understood what An Buzheng meant.

In theory, the leader of a sect may not necessarily be the best or the strongest among his peers, especially when the inheritance is orderly, the sect has a deep foundation, and there are many teachers who can preside over the stable situation.

The so-called selection of talents, in addition to considering the strength of the sect leader's cultivation, also needs to consider whether other aspects are suitable.

In addition to the character, this includes but is not limited to the ability to govern the sect, the reputation of the inside and outside, and even the ability to teach and cultivate the next generation.

Only in relatively extreme cases, when there is an urgent need for top masters to support the sect and gather people's hearts, will only the strength of the cultivator's cultivation be considered, and the rest will be temporarily shelved.

For example, when the 35th Heavenly Master Tang Xiaotang took over, it was such a special case.

Even so, before and after Tang Xiaotang took over the Tianshi Mansion, she also had great achievements such as finding the Tianshi Sword and expelling the Li family. She was not lacking in merit and reputation.

After taking over, she was not a dictator and did not mind a group of high-level elders to assist her.

In the past, Tang Tianshi may have had various problems behind the scenes, but she never made any mistakes in public.

During her tenure, she made outstanding contributions, so most people in and outside the Tianshi Mansion now respect her.

In a relatively stable situation, the strength of cultivation is not the only reference standard, and the final candidate is determined after comprehensive consideration of various aspects. There have been times in history when there have been overturns.

Let’s not talk about how the Tianshi Mansion is doing. The neighboring Shushan Sect had the precedent of Fu Dongsen and Chen Donglou in the past.

Naturally, with the head of the sect, Tianjun Lei Jun, alive, Longhushan Tianshi Mansion can remain prosperous regardless of whether Chi Haifeng or An Buzheng takes over the Tianshi Mansion in the future.

The reason why An Buzheng said what he said today was not only because Chi Haifeng had achieved the Ninth Heaven Mahayana realm before him.

It was because the other party was superior to him in terms of aptitude, comprehension and cultivation, and his cultivation speed was faster than his, and he also made greater contributions to the Longhu Mountain Tianshi Mansion in other aspects.

Over the years, An Buzheng also received a lot of job experience from his master, and he completed them very well.

But An Buzheng knew best that his main focus was always on practicing seriously and concentrating on improving his realm and strength.

For similar things, whether it was Tianshi Zhuo Baojie or other people in the mansion, they did not object and were happy to see it happen.

The job assignments arranged for An Buzheng were also more for him to experience and benefit his cultivation, so as not to isolate himself from the world and work behind closed doors.

But Chi Haifeng was the same.

In fact, compared with An Buzheng, he was more interested in related things.

Chi Haifeng was full of curiosity and desire to explore all things, phenomena and laws in the world, and he was happy to communicate and interact with others.

In recent years, he has been involved in the improvement and perfection of Taoist talismans, the introduction of new and old ones, and the refining of various magic tools and elixirs.

As time goes by, his reputation inside and outside the Tianshi Mansion has risen.

Although he is not as calm as An Buzheng in dealing with people, his outgoing and positive attitude has also gathered a lot of people's hearts and made many contributions to Longhu Mountain.

Although no one has ever said it, in the eyes of many people, the current situation is already like this:

Chi Haifeng not only has superior qualifications and cultivation, but also his contribution to the sect and his reputation inside and outside the mansion are becoming more and more impeccable.

An Buzheng is also highly respected, but among them, in addition to the impression that he is more calm, how much of it is because he is the true disciple of the Tianshi and the direct descendant of the headmaster?

No one took the initiative to ask.

But An Buzheng would ask himself this question.

In particular, he has invested most of his energy in improving his cultivation level, so that he can barely keep up with Chi Haifeng's pace, but the gap between the two sides has finally become increasingly unstoppable.

It is not uncommon to focus on improving realms at the beginning of cultivation, and then expand after reaching a higher realm.

An Buzheng's great-uncle Tang Xiaotang and second uncle Han Xiaofei both follow this path.

However, Chi Haifeng is not like that.

He has been involved in a wide range of fields since he was young.

But he did not deliberately slow down the speed of improving his cultivation realm because of this.

"Junior Brother Chi seems to be sailing down the river, his attention is not on the boat, but on the surrounding mountains and rivers, but the boat is still moving fast on the water."

An Buzheng smiled self-deprecatingly: "The disciple is the one who ignored a lot of the scenery along the way, rowed hard to catch up with him, but gradually couldn't catch up."

Zhuo Baojie: "Well, you also realized that there is a peer who doesn't need to be deliberately imitated, but is more like your master than you."

An Buzheng was teased about his master's dark history and couldn't help laughing and crying: "Master, please forgive me, I have known my mistakes for a long time."

Zhuo Baojie nodded: "Master naturally knows that you have done nothing wrong in these years..."

He looked at his disciple calmly: "In this case, don't put so much pressure on yourself."

An Buzheng: "Yes, I have understood this truth now."

Zhuo Baojie smiled: "I don't know how many people look at you, just like you look at Junior Brother Chi."

Imitating Lei Jun is fine, or competing with Chi Haifeng is fine.

An Buzheng also has extremely high attainments in the use of the Yuanci Flying Sword, and is almost as good as Chi Haifeng of the same level in head-on combat.

Although he is not as good as his opponent, he possesses both the Yin and Yang twin thunders of Nine Heavens Divine Thunder and Xuanxiao Immortal Thunder. The two of them together support the Liangyi Tianyuan Law. Impeccable.

Zhuo Baojie asked himself, if he could only defeat his apprentice with just one single magnetic flying sword, it was only because of the overwhelming difference in realm.

Under the same realm, Chi Haifeng, Feng Ting, and Cheng Rongrong faced An Bizheng, and Yuanci Feijian also had no advantage.

The Yuan Magnetic Flying Sword is just one of the many methods that An Buzheng has practiced, and it is not even his strongest point.

The Dharma Elephant of the Doumu Star God, the Dharma Elephant of the Heavenly Eclipse Star Abyss, the Dharma Elephant of the Nine Heavens Thunder Ancestor, the Dharma Elephant of the Xuanxiao Lei Ancestor... With the blessing of many Dharma Ribbons, the body's life skills are powerful, the spirit and soul are tenacious, the life and life are intertwined, and the Dharma and Martial Arts are He has both, his body shape can come and go like lightning, and he can use the Yuan Magnetic Flying Sword at both distances and distances. At the same time, because the Liangyi Immortal Body's mana recovers very quickly, this is An Buzheng's relatively complete actual combat state.

In fact, the same is true for Chi Haifeng.

Yuan Magnetic Flying Sword is just one of his hobbies.

He has the ability to guide Shushan sword cultivators in this aspect, but the one who is best at it is not the Yuanci Flying Sword.

The most powerful thing about Chi Haifeng is the life kung fu itself, which is constantly integrated and tempered from complexity to simplicity.

If not, how could they be regarded as the continuation of Longhu Mountain's destiny?

"If you don't put pressure on yourself, why leave? If you want to change your previous style, you can do it anywhere."

Zhuo Baojie looked at An Buzheng: "Are you too concerned about the outside world's opinions and evaluations?

Or are you unwilling to give up after all and want to change your thinking and environment and try again for a chance? "

An Buzheng: "This disciple is indeed determined to change his thinking and environment, but it is not for the purpose of making a comeback and turning defeat into victory."

Contrary to speculation by some outsiders, he and Chi Haifeng actually had a very good personal relationship.

Among their peers, the two of them had the most exchanges and discussions.

After a brief pause, An Buzheng said softly: "Disciple has a vague feeling in his heart that this path is more suitable for his own practice."

Hearing this, Zhuo Baojie nodded: "You have reached the eighth level of heaven and have understood yourself clearly. Since you have this feeling, you must be quite different.

But there is no need to rush. After surviving the catastrophe from the eighth to the ninth heaven, in addition to practicing meditation, you should also gain more experience and accumulation in the mansion.

Founding a sect is not as carefree as being alone, but you should not think about things too simply. "

An Buzheng solemnly said: "Master taught me that I should keep it in mind. Junior Brother Chi invited me to travel around the world of Confucianism. I also intend to travel to various places in the future before making a decision. As you and Master have always taught me, I Those who practice Taoism should follow the destiny and act according to the circumstances.”

Zhuo Baojie nodded slightly: "Very good."

After nodding, he sighed again: "Hey, in the future, when Xuwu leaves, I will inevitably have a lot of emptiness in my lap."

An Buzheng said seriously: "Disciples are also happy to see more junior brothers and junior sisters."

Zhuo Baojie waved his paws in disinterest.

How can you be so lucky to find a disciple of the Aoi Immortal Body to accompany you...

…………………………

Beyond the vast world, there is a vast universe.

There is something special somewhere among the lonely and sparse stars.

At first glance, it looks like shining stars.

But within the starlight, there is a different world.

A vast expanse of white, but not snow, together form a white Taoist palace that does not seem to have clear outlines.

In the Dao Palace, there was a looming green fire.

There were two people sitting opposite each other, a man and a woman, both wearing traditional shaman costumes.

At this time, the void in the outer universe seemed to shake.

Then there seemed to be a dark star map appearing out of thin air in the center of the white Taoist palace, and a middle-aged scholar stepped out of it.

The man and woman who were meditating behind closed doors opened their eyes at the same time and stood up to greet them: "Master Shuofeng Mountain is here."

Lian Feng, the master of Shuofeng Mountain, returned the greeting: "I'm sorry for bothering you."

The three of them entered the Dao Palace hall together.

Lian Feng looked at the back hall: "Tianjun is still meditating?"

The two wizard kings Ruan Qiao and Wang Dianchen, one female and one male, both said: "Not bad."

After the three of them sat down in the white hall, Lian Feng shook his head slightly: "Lian failed to fulfill his mission. This trip failed to find the other half of the lost map of the universe."

Ruan Qiao: "No matter what the result is, thank you to Master Shuofeng Mountain for your hard work."

Lian Feng took a long breath.

Although the outer void universe can exist in the fairyland masters, it is not a livable place.

Unless you have the intention to wander around and explore, or as a last resort, no one would be willing to stay in it for a long time.

Fortunately, Gao Tiansui is not only the third-level Heavenly Lord of the Taoist Fulu Sect in the Immortal Realm, but also the legendary Taisu Taoist.

Only in this way can we create a safe place in the vast void outside the universe, and even practice here.

Here he has been in retreat for many years.

It's just a pity that if a complete map of the universe could be obtained, Gao Tianjun would probably have achieved the Taoist level of enlightenment comparable to that of a Confucian saint.

He is a genius. Even though he has had many twists and turns in the past years, like Yan Aoyun, Wu Hailin, Zheng Baiyu and others, he still has the opportunity to continue to make breakthroughs even if he only relies on his own practice.

It's just that this takes quite some time.

After leaving the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, Gao Tian then came here to meditate and practice in seclusion, completely ignoring foreign affairs.

He did not miss half of the universe map he had obtained.

After using this half of the universe map to lead Lian Feng to leave the world of Confucianism and travel to and from the vast void outside the universe, half of the universe map was combined with the Dao palace to further stabilize the Dao palace.

Lian Feng, Ruan Qiao, and Wang Dianchen can also practice meditation in it.

As for Lian Feng, he knows very well that if there was no chance from Zheng Baiyu in Yuzhou of the Confucian World, his hope of reaching the realm of Confucian Saint Master would be extremely slim, even negligible.

But Gao Tiansui has a chance.

Whether for the sake of the old members of the Heavenly Palace or for himself, Lian Feng hopes that Gao Tiansui can succeed as soon as possible.

With Yan Aoyun already becoming a Confucian Saint Master, and Lei Jun, Zhang Wantong, Xu Yuanzhen, Tang Xiaotang and others following closely behind, Gao Tiansui may not have a chance to turn the tables even if he succeeds.

But if he fails, there is no hope at all.

Even if he succeeds too late, it won't work.

Like Gao Tiansui, Lian Feng is determined and unyielding for his vision.

But he was also worried that Gao Tiansui would give up the search for the complete universe map and other opportunities, and instead concentrate on his own practice to impact the realm of Dongzhen above Dongxuan. Can he succeed and when can he succeed?

However, this time, as a third-level Confucian Su Wang in the fairyland, he quietly felt the immortal essence and spiritual power in the Taoist palace, and Lian Feng's mind gradually settled down.

He could vaguely sense that Gao Tiansui seemed to be moving forward on a road.

Although the road was still long, the end was vaguely visible and not out of reach.

Lian Feng watched and his mind was at peace.

Ruan Qiao and Wang Dianchen also waited patiently.

The great catastrophe war at the end of the Han Dynasty had an adverse effect on both parties involved.

If there had not been that battle, Gao Tiansui would definitely have taken this step towards the cave before Zhuang Zheng, He Ying and others.

After that, he was delayed in the blue sky for thousands of years. At that time, the three realms of heaven, earth and man were all torn apart. Even if Gao Tiansui ignored others and recovered early, it would be difficult for him to go further in the blue sky.

The blue sky was unsealed, and the old members of the heavenly palace saw the light of day again. Unfortunately, under the joint efforts of Lei Jun, Zhang Wantong, Zheng Baiyu and others, the world of nine heavens and ten earths was no longer conducive to their foothold.

Fortunately, Gao Tiansui's mood remained stable and he continued to practice.

His success in making further progress would benefit Lian Feng, Ruan Qiao, and Wang Dianchen, who received his talismans and talismans.

The three of them sat quietly in the white palace, all closed their eyes, and silently recuperated themselves.

…………………………

Time flies, and the years pass.

Lei Jun celebrated his 184th birthday.

In the summer of this year, the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths added a new martial arts master who opened the door to immortality.

Zhou Pu, the King of the Later Han Dynasty, successfully made further progress.

The news came out and attracted attention from all sides.

The imperial family of the Tang court was still stable.

No matter what Zhang Wantong really thought in her heart, she was still the contemporary Tang emperor in official terms, and she did not seem to have any intention of abdicating.

If the members of the Zhang Tang clan were worried, it was because since Zhang Wantong and Zhang Hui, neither the Zhang family nor the Shangguan family had produced any outstanding successors.

It's not just Zhang Wantong, even Zhang Hui doesn't ask about the Zhang Tang imperial family and the country.

At present, Shangguan Yunbo is still the one with the strongest personal cultivation strength and extremely close relationship with the royal family.

But when he reached the realm of the Ninth Heaven Martial Saint, he was already over 200 years old.

Under normal circumstances, the perfect realm of the fifth level of the Ninth Heaven is his end point. If there is no major accident, there is basically no possibility of achieving the Martial Immortal.

Moreover, at the same level, he is not Zhou Pu's opponent.

The reason why the Tang Dynasty paid attention to Zhou Pu's achievement of the Martial Immortal realm but was not shocked is mainly because, in addition to the royal family, they also have Shen Qubing, Chu Yu, Fang Yue who have opened the immortal gate one after another, and Xiao Chunhui, Meng Shaojie and others are also closely related to the Tang Dynasty.

Even if there is no expansion, it should be safe to maintain the status quo.

In comparison, the Han Dynasty was really shocked.

Their relationship with the Later Han Dynasty was already awkward, so they were naturally more concerned at the moment.

Fortunately, Zhou Pu achieved the status of Wuxian and did not make any more moves. Everything was safe, which made some people slowly put down their hanging hearts.

"Although His Royal Highness the King of the Later Han Dynasty has no intention of abdicating, he intends to live in the Earth Realm permanently. Most of the affairs of the court are entrusted to Geng Yuanyan, Gu Muqing and other important officials." Wang Guiyuan talked to Lei Jun about the rumors he had heard recently in Youdu, the Earth Realm.

Lei Jun nodded: "Before the King of the Later Han Dynasty went on this retreat to challenge the natural disaster leading to the fairyland, he had already established the crown prince of the East Palace."

Representatives from the Tianshi Mansion, Zhenwu Temple and other dynasties and holy places were invited to attend the ceremony.

"There are also important officials from the Han Dynasty." Wang Guiyuan smiled and sighed: "Mr. Li Feiyang."

Lei Jun nodded slightly.

Li Feiyang, the most outstanding young man of the Suzhou Li family in the past, achieved the realm of the ninth heaven and the world's great Confucianism early.

Now, he is not only the pillar of the family, but also one of the mainstays of the Han Dynasty.

Among the monks who have close contacts with the Han Dynasty, Ke Lang and Xiang Chengyuan of Kongsang Didu are both getting older and losing their sharpness, and it is difficult for them to have the opportunity to make further progress.

Li Feiyang is the Han monk who is closest to the fairyland, and is even ahead of Yu Boyan and others from Shushan Sect.

"For Buddhism, it is the Heavenly Tree." Wang Guiyuan and Lei Jun, brothers and sisters, talked about this matter, and they couldn't help but laugh and cry.

Although many talents have emerged in the inheritance of several major holy places of the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths in recent years, they have gradually recovered their vitality, but none of them are particularly outstanding and can reach the Golden Body Realm in a short period of time.

For example, several Buddhist monks such as Guangshu and Xinguan, although they have profound cultivation, they are all getting older.

Relatively young masters such as Abbot Ruyuan of Bodhi Temple have already cultivated to the Nine Heavens Dharmakaya Realm, but they are still far from the Golden Body Venerable.

In the end, the person who has now completed the fifth level of the Nine Heavens Dharmakaya and is beginning to approach the golden body is... the future Maitreya of the former Great White Lotus Sect, Monk Tianshu.

Referring to the previous Wang Guiyuan and Monk Huiyin, it is really speechless.

The White Lotus Sect is still low-key, and the news is limited to a limited number of people. If it is announced to the public, it is hard to say how the orthodox Buddhist descendants such as Ruyuan, Guangshu, and Xinguan will react.

"What does Master Tianshu think?" Lei Jun asked.

Wang Guiyuan: "It's okay, he and Master Jianhai are currently more concerned about the situation in the demon world."

Lei Jun nodded slightly.

The former Great White Lotus Sect Saint Master Jianhai is also getting older.

Monk Tianshu is the closest to the fairyland among the cultivators who were related to the Daming world in the past.

Although Luo Hai is cared for by Pixiu Kong, there is still a long way to go.

As for Confucianism, although Zhou Mingzhe succeeded in becoming a saint, he was "watched" by the three great Taoist immortals and was finally killed by Mu Chunyang himself.

Chao Feng, who was a step behind him and was still studying behind closed doors to seek a breakthrough when the nine heavens and ten earths were unified, was also "watched" by a large number of top masters of the nine heavens after the nine heavens and ten earths were unified.

In the end, the seriously injured Chao Feng was killed by Yuan Qingci, the former head of the Ming Dynasty Shushan School.

In the early years, the three inherited treasures of the Ming Dynasty Shushan School, Qiankun Sun and Moon Pot, Xianxiao Bell, and Duxu Shuttle, were confiscated by the Ming Dynasty court due to the Han Qingtao Rebellion. They were the work of Chen Yu, the former leader of the Wu Party, Chao Feng's mentor.

"It can be regarded as a severance of a previous relationship." Lei Jun nodded.

Wang Guiyuan also nodded.

Lei Jun's eyes suddenly moved slightly, and the heaven-to-earth talisman quietly flowed in his pupils:

"Hmm... Master Zhang of Kunwu Sect just sent a message that Daoyou Zhao has completed his mission and come out of retreat."

Wang Guiyuan was also happy to hear this: "Has Master Zhao returned to the void after refining his spirit?"

The Taoist talisman sect usually calls the cultivators who have reached the third level of the fairyland as the Three Heavens Mysterious Wall Return to the True Truth, also known as the Cave Mysterious Return to the True Truth.

The Taoist Danding Sect's cultivators who have reached the third level of the fairyland are called the Three Flowers Gathering at the Top, refining their spirits and returning to the void.

"This is really a cause for celebration." Wang Guiyuan sighed: "Fortunately, the catastrophe caused by the demon world and the Demon Dragon Emperor did not have a big impact on him."

Lei Jun also agreed: "Yes."

Now it has been eighty-one years since Zhao Chanyang reached the second level of the fairyland.

Although the catastrophe was successfully resolved at the beginning, the additional twists and turns made his eighty years of practice slightly "right".

"I didn't break your record, junior brother." Wang Guiyuan teased Lei Jun.

Lei Jun: "Thank goodness, thank goodness."

Zhao Chanyang was 173 years old at the time, slightly younger than Lei Jun's 170 years old when he reached the third level of the fairyland.

Wang Guiyuan was not teasing Zhao Chanyang when he talked about this, but more of a joke to Lei Jun.

After all, Zhao Chanyang ascended to the fairyland at the age of 72, much younger than their fellow disciples.

Lei Jun was able to catch up later, and the Ten-Colored Crane Cover played a great role, and Zhao Chanyang also contributed to it.

After a few words of conversation, Lei Jun wrote back to Kunwu Sect to congratulate Zhao Chanyang on his return to the void, while chatting with Wang Guiyuan:

"Daoyou Zhao is returning to the void, and I just happened to tell him something. There has been news from the Rulin World recently that the heaven over there is gradually showing signs of reappearing."

Wang Guiyuan thought thoughtfully: "Is the time about it?"

Lei Jun nodded: "According to Yan Zi's judgment, at most within 20 years."

Wang Guiyuan: "Is that so..."

He thought of the extraterritorial demons and Tianmojing in the Rulin World.

If the heaven that disappeared for many years in the Rulin World reappears, it is very likely to have an impact on Tianmojing.

Regardless of whether the invasion of extraterritorial demons is stopped in the future, there may be new changes and connections when the time comes.

At first glance, this matter has no direct connection with the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths World. At best, Xu Yuanzhen and Tang Xiaotang are there.

But Wang Guiyuan thought of another aspect.

The world of Confucian scholars will undergo major changes, and Yan Aoyun will inevitably be attracted to it, and even be involved.

In this way, the three major demons in the world of demons may make unusual moves.

In addition to the possibility that the Hundred-Eyed Demon Tree is related to the outer demon, the Demon Dragon Emperor and the Great Destruction Bodhisattva will most likely not intervene directly.

But taking advantage of Yan Aoyun's inattention, it is hard to say whether they will do something else.
