Chapter 169 168 One Person Suffers Misfortune, and Everyone Enjoys Happiness

Chapter 169: One person is unlucky, everyone enjoys happiness

After Lei Jun chatted with Li Xuan and Li Kong for a few more words, he said goodbye and left.

He returned to his residence.

As soon as I entered the door, I saw a small hair ball sitting in the courtyard, black and white, with two small eyes that kept moving.

It was surprisingly the Gungun that he had brought back to the mountain.

When Lei Jun went to Senryu Palace to take up his post, firstly, he considered the external environment to be complicated, and secondly, this Gungun practice had reached a critical moment, so he did not take him with him this time.

When we meet again, this rolling figure has shrunk several times and is no longer as huge as a baby elephant.

Standing upright, the current height is no more than one meter.

But his spirituality is far superior to that of Lei Junli in front of the mountain.

Especially those eyes, already as smart as a human being, smart and cunning.

Seeing Lei Jun appear at the door, Gungun put down the bamboo branch he was bringing to his mouth, stood up with a bang, and came forward to greet him.

"Practice is very effective."

Lei Jun smiled and directly picked up Gungun, who was much smaller in size.

Well……

The feeling is obviously different when you get it.

Lei Jun stroked it carefully again.

The fur is obviously much smoother and softer, and is no longer as rough and prickly as before.

The feel now feels closer to a cat than a bear.

This Gungun was hugged by Lei Jun and jerked several times, but he didn't struggle to jump away.

But there was a very human expression on the bear's face, as if it could be condensed into one sentence:

There's really nothing I can do about you...

"Well, the practice is indeed very fruitful." Lei Jun nodded repeatedly: "Keep persevering and don't relax."

Gungun, who had transformed from a big guy to a little guy, turned his head to the side, as if he didn't dare to look at Lei Jun.

"Senior brother, it would be great if you came back. Please urge this little slacker more."

At this time, someone else came over from outside the hospital, it was Lei Jun's junior brother Chu Kun.

He smiled and said: "This little guy is a real genius, but he just likes to be lazy."

In Lei Jun's arms, Na Gungun turned his head away with some guilt.

"Speaking of genius, junior brother, your progress in cultivation is gratifying." Lei Jun turned to look at Chu Kun again: "Although I was outside the mountain some time ago, I also heard other disciples mention that you have successfully crossed from the second to the third heaven. The natural chasm between them is in catastrophe.”

Earlier, when Zhou Zihang and others were traveling between Longhu Mountain and Xianliu Mountain, they had chatted with Lei Jun about some relevant news.

When Lei Jun contacted his master Yuan Mobai, he also heard Yuan Mobai mention it.

Not long ago, Chu Kun successfully survived the catastrophe between the second and third heavens, and reached the realm of the third heaven of the Taoist Fulu Sect.

Counting the years, it will be almost six years since Chu Kun officially entered the palace and worshiped under the white gate of Yuan Mo.

After surviving two natural disasters one after another, he successfully built the foundation and then achieved the realm of the Dharma Altar.

Such speed is also rare among top powers like Tianshi Mansion and Chu Clan.

Among the newcomers to the Tianshi Mansion True Legend in recent years, only Lei Jun is faster than him, and Chen Yi is similar.

The rest are all inferior.

Even Chen Yi was still hovering at the perfect level of foundation building during about the same time period, preparing for the disaster of overcoming the natural chasm.

Nowadays, the spiritual energy of heaven and earth has revived, and young practitioners have benefited from their practice, and their progress has indeed become faster.

But it is still rare for Chu Kun to make such an advance.

"Lucky, lucky." Chu Kun said politely: "It's just some luck. If you can't do it accurately, you may not be so lucky in the future."

He looked at Lei Jun and straightened his expression: "Speaking of which, I would like to thank you for your Spiritual Vine, senior brother, and also thank you for allowing me to watch you overcome the catastrophe of the natural chasm."

Although everyone passed through different dangers, Chu Kun still benefited a lot from being an atmosphere group and experiencing it.

"There are two old sayings in the spiritual world."

Lei Jun called Chu Kun to sit down: "The first sentence is that there is always luck, and it is often not accidental. The second sentence is that even if it is all accidental, blessings and opportunities are profound, which is a great wealth for practitioners."

He glanced at Chu Kun.

Even if there are all kinds of unexpected encounters, if my junior brother can improve his cultivation so quickly, his own natural talent must be excellent.

According to some experiences summarized by predecessors, he is at least the foundation of the unity of spiritual body and superior understanding.

It is not even impossible to be pregnant with the Holy Body or to have a clear understanding.

Of course, spiritual energy recovery is now beneficial to monks' practice, and the experience of previous generations is no longer so accurate, so it can only be used as a reference.

"Is the senior brother out of seclusion too?" Lei Jun asked.

Generally speaking, in the Tianshi Mansion, the so-called "elder brother" has been an exclusive title in recent years, specifically referring to Li Zhengxuan.

However, in recent years, Lei Jun and Chu Kun began to call Wang Guiyuan their senior brother more and more when chatting among them.

Chu Kun nodded: "I said before that we would come together to see you, but something suddenly happened and I was called away."

He explained: "His Royal Highness King Wu's special envoy visited our sect to meet the master. At the same time, he invited the senior brother to come and sit with him."

While the two were chatting, Wang Guiyuan arrived at the door.

He just looked a little bitter.

"What kind of work is going on over there, His Highness King Wu?" Lei Jun and Chu Kun stood up to greet him.

Wang Guiyuan smiled bitterly: "I want to conscript me into the palace to serve as a worshiper."

Lei Jun and Chu Kun looked at each other.

Of course Wang Guiyuan could refuse.

It was impossible for King Wu's special envoy to kidnap him from Longhu Mountain.

But it is expected that the news will be spread actively.

His Royal Highness the King of Wu is a courteous and virtuous corporal who favors Master Yuan Chang from Longhu Mountain and his disciples.

Although he repeatedly encountered obstacles with master and apprentice Yuan Mobai, it was enough for King Wu to make this gesture and spread the news.

"His situation is getting more and more difficult. It's not enough to keep a low profile and act in a low profile to solve the problem."

Lei Jun guessed: "Why do I feel like he's going to do something big recently..."

Considering that the White Lotus Sect's Huaishan uprising was related to King Wu, this gentleman's actions in recent years have become more and more aggressive.

He has the intention of fighting a trapped beast.

"Success or not, the eldest brother has also become famous this time." Chu Kun looked at his senior brother with a little sympathy: "His Royal Highness King Wu personally helped to build momentum."

Wang Guiyuan heard this and smiled bitterly and shook his head repeatedly.

He circled between Lei Jun and Chu Kun, and sighed: "It's not just His Royal Highness King Wu, there are also you two monsters."

Lei Jun, needless to say.

After Chu Kun cultivated to the realm of the three-layer altar this year, he gradually began to attract attention from inside and outside the Tianshi Mansion.

He was originally from the Chu clan in Suzhou, and entered the Longhu Mountain Tianshi Mansion to study Taoism.

A slight improvement will naturally attract attention, and the attention is not only from the Chu clan.

Yuan Mobai, it is rare for him to open his door to accept disciples.

As a result, the success rate of his disciples is so high that it is hard for others not to pay attention to him.

As a result, Wang Guiyuan, who is usually low-key, has also attracted attention from the outside world.

From a certain perspective, he is even highlighted by Lei Jun and Chu Kun.

Some people think that it is rare for two of Yuan Mobai's three disciples to become successful, and it is normal for the other one to be relatively mediocre.

But there are also others who think that Yuan Mobai will not easily make mistakes, and the seemingly low-key eldest disciple may also have outstanding qualities.

Where there is discussion, there is heat.

In addition to the special look of His Royal Highness King Wu, Taoist Wang has also become a little popular recently, which makes him quite helpless.

"I don't deserve it, senior brother, you are too flattering." Lei Jun remained calm.

Chu Kun lowered his head to look at his feet, pretending to be indifferent.

Wang Guiyuan looked at the two dead pigs in front of him and shook his head helplessly.

Lei Jun rubbed the roll in his arms twice and put it down, then asked: "Brother, is the master free now?"

Wang Guiyuan: "I'm back home, you can go directly."

Lei Jun nodded: "Brother Li Xuan has returned to the mountain, and he requests to see the master."

Wang Guiyuan sighed: "It's a troubled time, and the storm is coming."

After bidding farewell to his two brothers, Lei Jun went to see his master Yuan Mobai.

"Junior nephew Chongxuan rarely comes back, of course I have to see him." Yuan Mobai said calmly: "Tomorrow morning, the master will wait for him in Gaogong Pavilion."

Lei Jun: "Yes, Master."

Yuan Mobai said: "The master has made arrangements for Junior nephew Xiaotang, so there is no need to worry about her safety in the future, but whether she can survive the natural disaster depends on herself."

After that, he stood up, walked to the window, looked at the frosted branches in the winter, and remained silent for a long time.

Lei Jun stood silently behind Yuan Mobai, not disturbing him.

"Third uncle, third brother, and the others finally crossed that line."

After a long time, Yuan Mobai slowly said, "What is coming is coming."

Lei Jun nodded silently.

Although Li Song and Li Ziyang did not mention Tang Xiaotang in their public statements, Lei Jun and his disciples knew that they had gone after Tang Xiaotang before.

They even leaked the news to Tang Xiaotang's enemy, Tian Linlong, the elder of Yinshandong in the Southern Wilderness, in order to add an extra helper and to find someone to take the blame for them later.

Although in the end they did not even find out which direction the door of Tang Xiaotang's retreat cave was facing.

But as Yuan Mobai said, the Li family finally took the initiative to cross that line.

More than a hundred years ago, there were two civil wars in Tianshi Mansion.

In the following hundred years, there were ups and downs and disputes, but everyone finally maintained a situation of fighting but not breaking.

But just like the earlier civil strife in Shushan.

After contradictions, conflicts, suspicions, and disputes accumulate to a certain extent, there will eventually be a break.

Perhaps, the direct fuse is very simple or even insignificant.

But the scene after everything is ignited is not something that one or two people can predict and control.

It would be fine if Tang Xiaotang fell under the natural disaster.

If she successfully ascended to the eighth level of the sky, after returning to the mountain, not only Lei Jun, but even Yuan Mobai would not deliberately conceal and cover up for the Li family.

It is true that Yuan Mobai does not want to see the internal strife of the Tianshi Mansion again.

But since the Li family has taken this step first, the prelude to the war is destined to be opened.

With Tang Xiaotang's temper, there is no forbearance and waiting.

Knowing that Li Song and Li Ziyang were going to give her a "big gift" when she was in seclusion, she would not be Tang Xiaotang if she did not return the gift.

"Master..." Lei Jun looked at Yuan Mobai's back.

Yuan Mobai turned around, his expression had returned to calm, and he smiled again: "Actually, it's not that surprising."

Seeing this, Lei Jun didn't say much and changed the subject: "I just don't know, is the little sister faster, or the second uncle faster."

Yuan Mobai nodded slightly: "Yes."

The purple-clothed young man paced a few steps and sat down in the chair again: "Since this end is inevitable, we can only take it easy. When internal troubles emerge, we must guard against external troubles to avoid being trapped internally and externally."

Lei Jun listened thoughtfully.

Yuan Mobai continued: "The Blood River Sect has become active again, and we must guard against it.

Not only in Bashu earlier, but also in Huaishan before, there were traces of descendants of the Blood River lineage."

Lei Jun: "Yes, disciple will remember the master's teachings."

Yuan Mobai: "And then, Huang Tiandao..."

Lei Jun: "In recent years, I have rarely heard news about Huang Tiandao."

In the battle about six years ago, Huang Tiandao was defeated, the Supreme Elder Yu Qingling died, the head of the sect Taiping Daoist was seriously injured, and many of his disciples were killed or injured.

In the following years, there was little news about Huang Tiandao.

After the situation in Tianshi Mansion stabilized, although the arrest of Huang Tiandao disciples continued, the gains were limited.

According to past experience, the other party turned underground again, and moved more cautiously and low-key, recuperating their vitality and accumulating strength again.

"The news of the disappearance of nephew Yuanzhen, and the seclusion of the second sister and nephew Xiaotang came out one after another. Recently, Huang Tiandao has made some movements again." Yuan Mobai said slowly.

Lei Jun understood: "They also smelled the murderous aura on Longhu Mountain again."

Yuan Mobai said: "In the past few years, Huang Tiandao has been very secretive, and our sect does not know their internal changes, but since they are quiet again, I think they are planning to take advantage of the opportunity to fish in troubled waters."

For the cultivation world, six years is still a short time.

Even if the spiritual energy of heaven and earth is surging now, and the cultivation progress is faster, generally speaking, six years is not enough for Huang Tiandao, who has been seriously injured, to immediately recover his old appearance or have earth-shaking changes.

It's just that things are abnormal, and there are probably reasons.

"More than a hundred years is enough to change a lot of things."

Yuan Mobai looked at Lei Jun and sighed softly: "For the Li family, perhaps, we are all foreign surnames like Huang Tiandao, but at this point, Tianshi Mansion is Tianshi Mansion, Huang Tiandao is Huang Tiandao, and some relationships are not so easy to repair and make up for."

Lei Jun nodded gently.

He knew Yuan Mobai's meaning very well.

The so-called Tianshi Mansion is Tianshi Mansion, Huang Tiandao is Huang Tiandao, and it does not mean sectarianism.

It is true that the Tianshi Mansion is reborn in the battle between Li and others.

At first glance, the foreign descendants in the Tianshi Mansion now have the same demands as Huang Tiandao, and everyone seems to have a basis for cooperation in the face of the common enemy Li.

But if you want to put aside the past grudges, it is not as simple as sitting down and talking.

It is not just that the Li family and Huang Tiandao have been entangled for more than a hundred years.

Rather, the Tianshi Mansion as a whole has fought and exterminated Huang Tiandao many times in these years.

Not to mention how many people died and how much hatred was left in the bloody civil war when they split.

It's just that in the past hundred years, both sides have had each other's blood on their hands.

You killed my master.

I killed your apprentice.

Or vice versa.

If at the beginning, there were still a few people who had some feelings for each other, then now, basically only the orthodox dispute and the cleansing of the door are left.

The Longhu Mountain Tianshi Mansion has had ups and downs over the years, and the two most diametrically opposed enemies are the Jiangzhou Lin Clan and Huang Tiandao.

Lei Jun didn't have many relatives and friends who died because of Huang Tiandao.

But the Huang Tiandao disciples who died at his hands were not just one or two...

Perhaps, after the Li family is gone, there will be more room for maneuver.

But it is destined to be a tortuous and long process, full of unpredictable and unexpected crises.

Apart from other things, even if the leaders of other top forces do not directly deal with the Tianshi Mansion, they will most likely continue to secretly support Huang Tiandao and cause trouble for the Tianshi Mansion, rather than sit back and watch the Taoist talisman school completely merge.

"You don't need to think too much about these things for the time being. You just returned to the mountain, so take a rest first."

Yuan Mobai smiled and said, "Speaking of which, you have accumulated a lot of merits and virtues this time, and you should be able to enter the Shangqing Lei Mansion Cave Heaven again. Do you consider going, or continue to accumulate?"

For cultivators below the sixth level of the Tianshi Mansion, it is very rare to enter the Shangqing Lei Mansion Cave Heaven.

Like Lei Jun, he only went in once when he was just granted the talisman.

Next, he needs to accumulate merits and virtues to a certain level before he has the opportunity to go again.

However, he was considered to have made merits in the previous war, so Yuan Mobai mentioned it.

Merits are not sitting in the Xianliu Palace.

It is not something that cannot be made public for the time being, such as helping Tang Xiaotang to protect the law.

Lei Jun's meritorious service was that he risked his life to attract a great scholar of the seventh level of the Lin Clan to make an exception and go to Xianliu Mountain to kill him.

As a result, it gave Yuan Mobai an opportunity, reducing the number of Jiangzhou Lin Clan's top three masters by one.

No matter how confident Yuan Mobai was at the time, Lei Jun, who was acting as a bait, was undoubtedly risking his life in everyone's eyes.

Therefore, Taoist Master Xiao Lei would naturally have a share of the reward after the event.

The relevant accumulated merits and virtues were enough for him to enter the Shangqing Leifu Cave Heaven again.

"It just so happens that the disciple wants to enter the Shangqing Leifu Cave Heaven once." Lei Jun replied.

Yuan Mobai nodded: "After preparing, you can leave at any time."

Lei Jun said goodbye to his master and returned to his own house.

He recuperated for a period of time, so that his essence, energy, and spirit gradually reached the peak.

It is said that during this period, Li Xuan visited Yuan Mobai twice.

Lei Jun did not ask more about what they talked about.

But there were no more ups and downs on the mountain for the time being.

However, the oppressive feeling of impending storm could no longer be hidden, and even most of the young disciples had sensed it.

Lei Jun, as usual, went to the top of the main peak of Longhu Mountain on the agreed date.

The high-level elder in charge of opening the Shangqing Leifu Cave Heaven today was the fourth uncle Yao Yuan.

Elder Yao, who had been relatively low-key in recent years, looked at the disciples in front of him calmly: "Everyone, get ready."

Coincidentally, Zhang Jingzhen was also among the people who entered the Shangqing Leifu Cave Heaven this time.

Zhang Jingzhen was not only a cultivator at the sixth level of the Heavenly Dao Seal realm, but also a disciple of the former Heavenly Master. He had at least one guaranteed chance to enter the Shangqing Leifu Cave Heaven every year.

When Lei Jun first entered the cave, she went with him. She never thought that they would meet again this time.

"It can be regarded as a level of fate, Junior Brother Lei." Zhang Jingzhen smiled.

Lei Jun: "Yes, I have to trouble Senior Sister Zhang again this time."

Zhang Jingzhen: "No, everyone should take care of each other."

There are no disciples who have reached the third level this time. There are only a few people who have reached the third level. Everyone can take care of themselves at that time, and there is no need to worry more.

"Speaking of fate, it is indeed mysterious."

Lei Jun looked to the other side. Among the companions this time, there was actually a second old acquaintance: "Senior Brother Luo, please take care of me."

Luo Haoran smiled and said, "I am sorry. I hope I don't bother you and Senior Sister Zhang."

His situation is different from Lei Jun and Zhang Jingzhen. He did not accumulate merits and virtues to gain the opportunity to enter the cave of Shangqing Leifu.

Every disciple who is given a talisman can get one chance after the initial talisman, and Luo Haoran is no exception.

But he was special because after he was ordained, he did not enter the Shangqing Leifu Cave Heaven like Fang Jian, Xia Qing and others.

At that time, Luo Haoran immediately practiced in seclusion to prepare for the natural disaster between the third and fourth heavens.

After he successfully formed his own Yuanfu, he nurtured his magic power and became familiar with his own changes, and then he went out of the mountain to help the people deal with floods.

After that, he stayed outside the mountain, and when Longhu Mountain went to war with the Jiangzhou Lin Clan, Luo Haoran went to the outskirts of Poyang Lake to directly participate in the war.

So after a few years, he actually did not use the opportunity to enter the Shangqing Leifu Cave Heaven when he was first ordained.

Now that the war in Poyang Lake has subsided, after a period of rest, Luo Haoran finally returned to the mountain gate ancestral home.

After finally settling down, he can make up for the opportunity he owed before.

"Everyone should take care of each other, and there is no need to bother each other."

Lei Jun raised his head and looked up at the sky while speaking.

Then purple thunderbolts fell from the sky and were guided among the mountains.

There was a faint flash in the mountains, and a huge talisman array emerged.

As the talisman array was in operation, countless talismans flew, carrying the purple thunderbolts falling from the sky.

"Third Master will heal his wounds and guide the power of the cave heaven, but it will not cause any major damage to the Shangqing Leifu Cave Heaven."

Elder Yao also looked at the thunderbolts in the distance at this time: "After you enter, just don't approach the Biyou Fairy Mountain without permission."

Lei Jun and others all agreed.

Li Song failed to find Tang Xiaotang, but lost several of his favorite disciples. He was even injured and retreated to Longhu Mountain in embarrassment.

Tianluo has been exhausted, and he has no better way to determine Tang Xiaotang's specific location in a short time.

Now he can only hurry up to heal his wounds.

Going directly into the Shangqing Leifu Cave Heaven to recuperate is of course the best effect, but that way the inside and outside are closed and the information is not communicated.

Therefore, Li Song took the next best option and led the spiritual power in the cave to his own cave, and then healed his wounds and recuperated in his own cave.

Lei Jun looked calm and let Yao Yuan cast a spell to open the cave portal, and then entered the Shangqing Leifu Cave with Zhang Jingzhen, Luo Haoran and others.

In the cave, it was still a purple world, and there was spiritual beauty everywhere.

This time, all the cultivators who came in were from the middle three days.

Everyone greeted each other and went their own way.

Lei Jun's main goal this time was the fairy bamboo forest.

However, after he entered the Shangqing Leifu Cave, the light ball in his mind suddenly flashed again and words appeared:

[Misfortune lies in the individual, blessing lies in the cave, thunder moves the nine heavens, it is auspicious time. ]

Lei Jun read these sixteen words and couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.

He looked at the next three fortunes that flew out:

[Middle and upper fortune, go to Guhongxiu at midnight, you can get a fourth-grade opportunity, no risk, no future troubles, auspicious. 】

[A good middle-level lot, go to Shengbo Pond at midnight, and you can get a fifth-grade opportunity, no risk, no trouble, auspicious. 】

[A good middle-level lot, go to other places in the cave or miss midnight to Guhongxiu and Shengbo Pond, no extra gains, no extra risks, flat. 】

Okay, two good middle-level lots.

Moreover, there are no bad middle-level lots or very bad lot.

After the last time when three very bad lot were drawn, this time it was indeed auspicious, and the lot luck was quite warm.

But...

Misfortune is in the individual, and blessing is in the cave.

This can't be to say that because Elder Li Song was unlucky, he used the power of the cave to heal his wounds, but it gave birth to some changes in the cave, thus giving birth to two good middle-level lots... Lei Jun's expression couldn't help but become strange.
