Seeking good fortune and avoiding misfortune starts from Tianshi Mansion

Chapter 30 Accelerate practice and save the price

Hearing that Lei Jun was "assigned" to the green graphite vein by Yuan Mobai, Fang Jian and Shangguan Hong couldn't come to their senses for a while.

After a long time, Shangguan Hong exclaimed: "Qing Shi, don't you mean that if you stay there for a long time, you will have...some..."

He hesitated to say the word "harm".

Fang Jian pondered: "Junior Brother Lei has to go for so long? Isn't it temporary?"

Wang Guiyuan: "That's indeed what the master ordered. Junior Brother Lei has already passed. I guess the master has his own arrangements."

Fang Jian wanted to ask, does Lei Jun himself know that it is harmful for low-level monks to be exposed to green graphite for a long time?

"Well, Junior Senior Uncle's arrangement must have a deeper meaning that we don't know about." Fang Jian nodded: "In that case, I won't disturb you for now. I'll say hello to Junior Junior Uncle next time."

Shangguan Hong also said goodbye and left.

Fang Jian returned to his residence.

In his house, another young Taoist priest was waiting, it was Li Xuan whose younger brother had died earlier.

"Green graphite mine?" Li Xuan was also stunned: "Really? Or is it just an excuse?"

Fang Jian sat down and said, "Go and have a look in a few days to confirm."

Li Xuan looked over: "Junior Brother Fang, do you think it could be..."

"have no idea."

Fang Jian said simply: "Although I have always heard that the senior sister and the junior junior uncle are quite compatible, the junior junior uncle gets along well with everyone. What is the relationship between him and senior sister? It's up to you to tell me the answer."

Li Xuan raised his head and looked at the roof: "My junior uncle and Xu Yuanzhen often have differences. They don't always advance and retreat together, venting their anger through the same nostril.

As you said, my junior uncle has many good relationships and gets along well with everyone, even my father.

If he really wanted to say who he was going with, it should be with his uncle, that is, Master Qi. "

"That's true."

Fang Jian: "So, the senior sister went too far, and the junior junior uncle did not agree with it and was even dissatisfied?

That's not right, Junior Junior Uncle has always been open-minded, and even if he is really dissatisfied with Senior Sister, he will not make things difficult for Junior Brother Lei. "

Li Xuan: "Perhaps Junior Brother Lei has always had his heart set on Xu Yuanzhen, who brought him back to the mountain to introduce him to Taoism, so he contradicted Junior Junior Uncle?"

He stood up: "Anyway, this news is very important, I will inform my father and senior brother!"

If Yuan Mobai and Xu Yuanzhen can be separated, the effect will be much greater than making a fuss about Lei Jun, a new disciple.

…………

"So, Master took the blame for me, and Senior Sister, you seem to have betrayed everyone?"

Lei Jun looked at Xu Yuanzhen.

Xu Yuanzhen: "When you are in the Third Heaven, draw their expressions and I will take a look at them when I go back to the mountain."

After Lei Jun met Yuan Mobai, she went on a long trip to the mountains again, waving her sleeves not to take away a single cloud.

"Don't guess what the three people in the house are thinking, it will be in vain." Wang Guiyuan, who came to visit Lei Jun, sighed: "Uncle, the old man Tianshi, then senior sister, and then our master."

The two brothers were sitting in Master Yuan Mobai's private cave.

"Junior Brother Fang came here on his own." Wang Guiyuan said: "Junior Brother Shangguan, he may represent Uncle Shangguan and Senior Sister Zhang."

The noble image of Zhang Jingzhen, the third disciple of Tianshi, flashed through Lei Jun's mind.

During the Yunhai Xianchi Incident, we had close contact.

Speaking of which, if you include Tang Xiaotang, the planned disciple that everyone agrees to, there are five direct descendants of Li Tianshi in the current generation. Except for his own son Li Zhengxuan and his fourth disciple Fang Jian, the other three are all female disciples.

In this life, there is a slight increase in yin and a decline in yang.

In terms of the impression left on the outside world, the three women are all outstanding and can be called the new generation of Tianshi Mansion's signatures, which is very conducive to recruiting new students.

Purely in terms of appearance, Tang Xiaotang is the number one, with stunning appearance, incomparable beauty, and obvious height advantage.

But people are the most inconsistent.

Senior Sister Xu Yuanzhen not only has a slightly weird personality, but also has a cold aura around her, which makes people often ignore her gender and appearance.

Based on the results, it turned out that the third senior sister Zhang Jingzhen had a noble temperament and a beautiful appearance, and could not find any obvious problems.

According to the current general aesthetics of the world, a beautiful woman holding her head is a bonus.

However, Lei Jun is more concerned about another issue:

“Senior brother, is this ‘Zhang’ that Senior Sister Zhang refers to?”

There are many people with the surname Zhang in the world.

But there are a small number of them that are special.

As far as Lei Jun knows, the current royal family of the Tang Dynasty bears the surname Zhang.

After contacting Zhang Jingzhen, who was familiar with the Shangguan clan, Lei Jun made a guess.

"Yes, Senior Sister Zhang is a noblewoman of the royal family and was granted the title of princess. Her father and the late emperor are brothers."

Wang Guiyuan: "In other words, Senior Sister Zhang and the current Holy Master are cousins. She is also related to Senior Uncle Shangguan and Junior Brother Shangguan, so there is no problem in calling Shangguan Senior Uncle and Aunt directly."

Lei Jun nodded: "The Tang court royal family has made great efforts to our Tianshi Mansion."

Wang Guiyuan: "It won't work if we don't put in the effort. They don't. Some people have to put in the effort."

For example, Fang Jian, the fourth disciple of Tianshi, was born in the Jingxiang Fang clan.

In this world, the most prominent spiritual practice in the Tang Dynasty was neither Buddhism, Taoism, nor martial arts, but the Confucian way of practice.

Compared with them, Taoism, Buddhism and other spiritual traditions are currently more like opposition forces.

But strictly speaking, Confucianism does not completely represent the official state.

The relationship between the royal family and major Confucian families is difficult to describe.

There are many noble families in the Tang Dynasty, and most of the Confucian cultivation methods in the world are in the hands of aristocratic families. Every family secretly teaches them, and there are many masters.

The top aristocratic family has accumulated power and influence over the years and is still above the Holy Land sects.

What's more, people often say that the emperor and his family rule the world together.

There are seven major clans that are the most outstanding. They are all practicing families that have existed for thousands or even ten thousand years. Their history dates back to before the founding of the Tang Dynasty.

The seven major clans have two leaves, two forests, one Xiao, one Chu, and one side.

The Fang clan, also known as the Fang clan, occupies a powerful position in Jingxiang, almost like a separatist state. Whether in court or in the field, they have big trees and deep roots.

In recent years, under the rule of the Tang Dynasty, many sects' holy places have emerged and become more prestigious. This is not without the Tang emperor's intention to promote Buddhism and Taoism and cultivate civilian practitioners, thereby checking and balancing the aristocratic families.

But obviously, the aristocratic family is not idle either.

The Zhang family and the Shangguan family of the royal family have disciples who have entered the core of the Tianshi Mansion, and the Fang family also has disciples.

The major Buddhist and Taoist holy sites were supported by several generations of Tang emperors to check and balance the famous families with lineage Confucian heirs.

Among them, Tianshi Mansion is quite special.

Although it has experienced several civil strife and its vitality has been severely damaged, Tianshi Mansion is still one of the most sacred Taoist sects in the world.

But gradually there are rumors among the world:

The Li clan of Xinzhou Longhu Mountain has deep roots and produces many talented people. It should be called the eight clans along with the seven traditional clans.

Lei Jun: "Wherever there are people, there are factions and sides."

Wang Guiyuan: "Fortunately, Master and Senior Sister have independent tree shades. If we don't jump out by ourselves, we can avoid getting wet in the rain."

Lei Jun nodded.

Farewell to Wang Guiyuan, he returned to the mines under his private residence to continue his practice.

It is said to be a vein or mine, but in fact it is more like another secluded cave.

Although a layer of faint blue light appears on the rocks in the cave, it is not scary, but has a peaceful and springlike warmth.

Lei Jun placed a few pieces of dark gravel in his hand, which flashed with a faint green light. It was the green graphite that made Shangguan Hong and Fang Jian change their colors when they heard it.

When he first came into contact with it, Lei Jun could indeed feel that although the green graphite had the wonderful effect of further stabilizing the Dao foundation and making the mana more pure, it would damage his physical body's energy and blood.

The result of the two-phase effect is that it can indeed help monks in the foundation-building realm improve faster, but the bad effects will first appear when the second heaven ascends to the third heaven.

If he rushes to cross the natural chasm to overcome the catastrophe, let alone being able to survive, he is afraid that he will die directly due to the decline of Qi and blood.

Moreover, the effect of green graphite is as stubborn as tarsal maggots. After it is eaten away at the flesh and blood, it is difficult for monks to heal it through other means.

Of course, there are no absolutes in the world, and there are only four or nine of them in the Great Evolution.

The rare exception is the foggy cloud crystal in Lei Jun's hand.

The foggy cloud crystals are still attached to the spirit-receiving talisman, but with this spirit-receiving talisman in hand, the green graphite refined during Lei Jun's practice will no longer corrode his flesh and blood.

So just as Yuan Mobai expected, Lei Jun could use green graphite to accelerate the further improvement of his Dao Foundation.

But immune to the cost of its side effects.
