Chapter 356 355 Be Prepared for Any Eventuality The King Returns to the Origin

Chapter 356 355. The King Returns to the Origin of the Preparedness

The leader of the Vajra tribe, Garuda, returns to Xumi.

The people of the Vajra tribe in the Tang Dynasty are temporarily prepared to endure humiliation in preparation for Tang Guoshi's care again.

Even most of their Buddhist temples and monasteries in the Western Regions have restrained themselves a lot to prevent Tang Xiaotang from picking on them.

However, Tang Xiaotang did not rush to go to the Western Regions immediately.

She certainly did not let it go.

Although her attention is easily diverted in many things.

But for the Xumi Vajra tribe, Tang Guoshi's care can be from morning to night.

At least, it will never be relaxed in just one or two years.

The reason why he did not go to the Western Regions again was because Tang Xiaotang had another concern about the Xumi Vajra tribe.

"Have the magic tools left by my senior sister been properly nurtured?" Tang Xiaotang looked curiously at a narrow shadow in the green Jiuyuan True Fire.

While Lei Jun was controlling the Nine Abyss True Fire to refine and nourish the treasure, he replied: "Preliminary results have been achieved, but further refinement and nourishment are needed. The deeper the accumulation, the better the effect."

In the green flame, a silver cone about three feet long was suspended horizontally in the air.

It looked unremarkable, and its spirituality was also restrained, making it difficult to see its details.

However, Tang Xiaotang had high cultivation and comprehension. She looked at the cone and vaguely felt the true meaning of the end of extinction, but it was also mysterious.

This silver cone was left by the eldest sister Xu Yuanzhen.

Because she was going out to find Penglai, just like the magic mirror and whisk last time, before she left this time, she handed the silver cone to Lei Jun, who would continue to nourish and refine it on her behalf so that the silver cone's spiritual power would continue to accumulate.

"Well... I still prefer to accumulate and improve myself." Tang Xiaotang circled the silver cone surrounded by the Nine Abyss True Fire.

Lei Jun: "Two-pronged approach."

On the one hand, the silver cone's spiritual power is accumulated.

On the other hand, Lei Jun was also fine-tuning the silver cone.

Xu Yuanzhen had few direct dealings with the monks of the Sumeru Vajra Department.

Lei Jun, however, had actually fought with them, and had defeated masters of the Sumeru Vajra Department, such as Master Yushan and Master Zongcuo.

Although his current level of enlightenment at the level of tranquility was not as good as Xu Yuanzhen's level of enlightenment at the level of nature, it was equally outstanding.

Combining his previous experience of fighting with monks of the Sumeru Vajra Department, Lei Jun continued to make fine adjustments.

"There will be a battle in the end." Wang Guiyuan sat aside and sighed.

However, he did not persuade Lei Jun, Tang Xiaotang and others.

The national teacher fell in the Tianshi Mansion, and the Tang Emperor made a choice between Taoism and Buddhism, which might intensify the conflict.

But in the final analysis, it still depends on the Tianshi Mansion itself.

After the battle between Bashu and Nanzhao, the Tianshi Mansion completely overshadowed the Sumeru Vajra Department.

Although the Xumi Vajra Department was disappointed, it had also made a temporary concession and sought to coexist with the Tianshi Mansion, becoming the two ends of the balance held by the Tang Dynasty court, and together divided and suppressed other sects and even family forces.

Do not fight for a temporary victory or defeat, and wait and see future changes.

When the Tianshi passed on his throne, Master Jiasheng came to congratulate him with this intention, hoping to reach a tacit understanding with the Tianshi Mansion.

But he was rejected by Lei Jun.

On the one hand, it was a warning against the Xumi Vajra Department's intention to convert.

On the other hand, it was due to the other party's indulgence of the powerful and harsh treatment of serfs in the Western Regions and the snowy plains, and even some of the Western Regions Buddhism itself seemed to be fair and just, but it was a bit weird.

So, the result was not unexpected.

Wang Guiyuan's opinion on this is...

It is best to avoid karma and grudges, but if the talks really break down... then let it break down.

"Since there will be a battle, it is better to prepare in advance like the eldest sister." Wang Guiyuan stared at the silver cone in the green Jiuyuan true fire.

Lei Jun heard the other party say this and immediately knew that this senior brother had an idea: "Big Brother, when it comes to Buddhism, you are the one who is most familiar with that place. Do you have any tips for dealing with the handprint lineage?"

Tang Xiaotang also turned around and looked curiously.

Wang Guiyuan: "There is a treasure called the Eclipse Lotus Seat. It will take a little time for it to mature. I will send it to you later."

Lei Jun: "Okay, more."

Wang Guiyuan: "You are really rude. Do you think it is picking cabbages from the field? They are all unique and cannot be cultivated. They need to be combined with other rare spiritual objects to be refined. More than half of these auxiliary materials are stock materials that have been cut off..."

Lei Jun's face was normal and he didn't care: "So, how many do you have, senior brother?"

Wang Guiyuan: "Eighteen."

Lei Jun: "One and a half dozen, very good, worthy of you."

Wang Guiyuan said helplessly: "It depends on what you are going to use it for. If you want to use it for a big purpose, this is only enough for two or three times."

Lei Jun looked up at the sky and thought for a moment, then suddenly asked: "Brother, do you think these Eclipse Lotus Seats can be further concentrated and refined?"

Wang Guiyuan: "It depends on what you are going to use it for."

Lei Jun: "I have a rough idea at the moment, let's discuss it together later."

He looked at Wang Guiyuan again: "Brother, is there anything else?"

Wang Guiyuan nodded: "Yes."

This time he directly took out the miniature capsule he carried with him and handed it to Lei Jun.

Lei Jun opened it and took a look.

Seeing a black mass.

"Black Bodhi seeds are not as effective as Eclipse Lotus Seats." Wang Guiyuan: "But at least the number is slightly more than Eclipse Lotus Seats, which makes people feel a little more at ease."

Lei Jun nodded.

Yes, it is indeed slightly more.

One hundred and eight pieces.

Lei Jun put away the miniature capsule and looked up at Wang Guiyuan again.

Wang Guiyuan knew what he wanted and shook his head: "It's really gone. Others are of no use. These are all modified by me with some savings of my predecessors. The raw materials are hard to find in the Tang Dynasty at least."

He sighed: "After all, they are just some tricks. They catch people off guard. Xumi has its own masters. After suffering a loss once, these things will hardly work again next time."

Lei Jun: "One chance is already very good."

Wang Guiyuan nodded.

He still trusts Lei Jun.

The other party will not take risks easily. The opportunity is rare and will be seized.

"If you have time, don't leave the mountain and help me first." Lei Jun said to Tang Xiaotang.

Whether he, Tang Xiaotang or Wang Guiyuan, they are all people with extraordinary understanding.

After Wang Guiyuan's 18 Eclipse Lotus Seats were initially mature, Lei Jun saw the real thing, confirmed his thoughts, and discussed with Tang Xiaotang and Wang Guiyuan.

Everyone thought the method was feasible, so they brainstormed and carefully considered it. After deciding on a specific strategy, they started to re-refine it.

Lei Jun controlled the Nine Abyss True Fire and continued to warm the silver cone left by Xu Yuanzhen.

So Tang Xiaotang provided the Nine Abyss True Fire for the Eclipse Lotus Seat.

She herself was not good at refining magic tools and magic treasures.

But she was proficient in the fire method, the earth method, the calligraphy, and the Nine Abyss True Fire. With Lei Jun and Wang Guiyuan's help, the black lotus seat kept rising and falling under the green earth fire.

As the black lotus stretched, a faint black gas emerged from it.

The black gas was everywhere, covering all light and heat.

It was difficult for the Nine Abyss True Fire to refine it.

Fortunately, although Tang Xiaotang was usually impatient, she was quite patient and meticulous in practicing.

With the help of Lei Jun and Wang Guiyuan, Tang Xiaotang gradually refined the nine Eclipse Lotus Seats into one with the Nine Abyss True Fire.

Then, an illusory ninth-grade black lotus appeared in the emerald green true fire. It did not show any spiritual energy or spirituality. Instead, it was like a small black hole, absorbing and devouring everything from the surrounding outside world.

Even with Tang Xiaotang's cultivation strength, the Nine Abyss True Fire alone could not suppress this thing for a while.

A large amount of emerald green true fire was sucked back into the black ninth-grade Eclipse Lotus Seat, disappearing without a trace like a mud cow entering the sea.

Seeing this, Tang Xiaotang raised her eyebrows, and golden light appeared in her pupils.

Wang Guiyuan smiled bitterly: "Junior Sister Tang, calm down, calm down, this is the characteristic of this thing."

Tang Xiaotang puffed up her cheeks and snorted: "It makes people angry when I see it."

"The effect is good, it should be in line with expectations." Lei Jun took out his Shangqing Yuchen Immortal Bamboo and tapped it lightly on the ninth-grade Eclipse Lotus Seat.

His magic power intertwined yin and yang, turning as he wished without leaking anything, sucking the black lotus and temporarily collecting it.

Then, the three of them continued to sacrifice and refine the other nine Eclipse Lotus Seats, and then refined them into one.

When the second ninth-grade Eclipse Lotus Seat appeared, Lei Jun would be much more convenient to deal with.

Under the circulation of the black and white Yin-Yang Tai Chi diagram, two identical ninth-grade Eclipse Lotus Seats were separated on both sides.

Under Lei Jun's deliberate control and circulation, the two black lotuses did not absorb and devour the surroundings together, but gradually formed a situation of mutual attraction, so they restrained each other and no longer affected the surrounding things.

So at this time, Lei Jun took back the Shangqing Yuchen Immortal Bamboo, and at the same time put away the Yin-Yang Tai Chi diagram that contained the two ninth-grade Eclipse Lotus Seats.

"Unfortunately, it can only be used once at present, and the time it can support is also limited."

Lei Jun said: "However, with the foundation of this trip, I can slowly plan in the future."

Tang Xiaotang dispersed the Nine Abyss True Fire: "The general framework is there, and then fill in the details."

………………

In the early summer of the Tang Dynasty, the leader of the Vajra Department, Jialuo Tuo, returned from Xumi.

"Master." Master Jiasheng led the monks of the Vajra tribe to salute.

After sitting down, the leader of the Vajra tribe said: "I have met the Lone Eagle Khan of the Lone Eagle Khanate on this trip."

Everyone was shocked when they heard this.

The leader of the Vajra tribe: "The Lone Eagle Khanate's expedition to the westernmost land of the human world has been settled, and the Lone Eagle Khan intends to march to the Tang Dynasty."

Master Jiasheng took a deep breath: "We have also made preliminary preparations on the Tang Dynasty side."

The leader of the Vajra tribe: "Don't rush, first confirm the whereabouts of several key figures on the Tang Dynasty side."

In addition to self-preparation, it is also necessary to combine the external environment.

Waiting may make the conditions worse, but it may also bring opportunities.

All the monks said: "Yes, Master."

The leader of the Vajra tribe said to Master Jiasheng: "Jiasheng, since this is the case, please go to that human world with the Lone Eagle Khan to cooperate, and Yangjin of the Lotus Tribe will go with you."

"Yes, Master." Master Jiasheng knew that if he wanted to deal with that side, he would inevitably have to go around the Lotus Tribe.

The opponent's skills had been focused on other khanates, but this time they could also take advantage of the Lone Eagle Khanate.

It is always much easier for the Lotus Tribe to act in that world.

And the Vajra Tribe must eventually establish a foothold in this world.

The key lies in how much territory the Lone Eagle's wings can cover in the future.

The bigger the better.

Hope is everything.

After paying a salute to the leader of the Vajra Tribe, Master Jiasheng left the Vajra Temple in the Tang Dynasty and returned to Xumi.

To be precise, he went to another world via Xumi.

The leader of the Vajra Tribe said no more and waited patiently.

While waiting, he buried nine vajra pestles in the soil around the Vajra Temple.

At the same time, on Longhu Mountain, Lei Jun practiced at his own pace and nurtured the spirits.

Time flies by in vain.

Lei Jun celebrated his 67th birthday.

During this period, news came from outside the mountain:

Senior Sister Xu Yuanzhen successfully found Penglai, one of the nine heavens in the legend, overseas.

The portal of Penglai was officially opened at the bottom of the East China Sea Ocean, connecting to the human world.

"I'll go to see Senior Sister." Tang Xiaotang couldn't sit still.

The monks of the Western Buddhist sect were annoying.

Penglai in the East China Sea also had something that interested her.

It wasn't Penglai itself.

But the White Emperor of the West who was repelled by her and left behind.

Maybe she could find him this time, so Tang Xiaotang became interested.

She looked at Lei Jun and Wang Guiyuan.

Wang Guiyuan shook his head directly: "Junior Sister Tang and Senior Sister, be careful."

Lei Jun looked at him, and both of them saw the same flash of eyes as themselves: "The west is unclear, the east has changed, and the west may also change."

As fellow disciples, they were already familiar with some of Xu Yuanzhen's personal habits.

While accepting her ability to bring care, they also accept that her willfulness may give opponents loopholes.

In this regard, Lei Jun and others have already adapted.

Of course, if the Taoist priests judge the monks with a petty mind, it is another matter.

Tang Xiaotang looked to the west and sneered: "Although I am very interested in Penglai, the situation inside is still unclear. I don't know if I can find that guy, but if there is movement in the west, it is very certain? If those thieves come to the door, I will go back and deal with them first. I think Senior Sister will not mind."

Lei Jun nodded: "I am also interested in Penglai, but I will finish the things at hand first."

The silver cone left by Xu Yuanzhen is doing the second stage of warming and refining, and it is at a critical juncture.

And the plan based on the two ninth-grade eclipse lotus seats also needs further improvement to achieve the expected effect.

"Okay, then I'll go first." Tang Xiaotang was very interested and went down the mountain immediately.

There was another incident in the East China Sea. Although the entrance to Penglai was located at the bottom of the deep sea, it caused quite a stir, with frequent tsunamis and hurricanes around.

There was first-hand information from Xu Yuanzhen on Longhu Mountain.

Later, people from other forces came to investigate and learned the rough situation.

The news was sent back to the land, attracting attention from all sides.

The Qingzhou Ye Clan and Suzhou Chu Clan successively sent higher-level core leaders to investigate.

More detailed information was sent back one after another.

All signs indicate that a war is breaking out at the entrance to Penglai, just under the East China Sea.

One side is undoubtedly Xu Yuanzhen, the guardian of Xuantian Guangmiao from the Tianshi Mansion.

The identity and number of the opponents are currently a mystery, but from a distance, it seems that they are also the means of Taoist monks.

Ye Yan, the head of the Qingzhou Ye Clan, and Chu Xiuyuan, the old head of the Suzhou Chu Clan, made a decision to go overseas together after many frequent correspondences.

In name, it is naturally to assist and cooperate with Xu Zhenren from the Tianshi Mansion to jointly deal with the opening of the Penglai portal.

The imperial family of the Tang court was also concerned.

However, since the national teacher Tang Xiaotang had already rushed to the East China Sea, the central government of the Tang court no longer sent officials there this time. It only arranged some capable personnel to follow the national teacher to work overseas, waiting for the national teacher's dispatch, and calm the tsunami disaster to avoid affecting the coastal areas on land.

For a time, all aspects of the Tang Dynasty, both inside and outside, were concerned about the East China Sea.

In the Vajra Temple in the Western Regions, the leader of the Vajra Department, Garudao, was the same.

However, he was not concerned about the matter itself, but the impact of the matter on other aspects:

"The timing is difficult to be better, and we should not blame others for everything."

The leader of the Vajra Department looked at the pearls and jade rolling like water between his fingers, and whispered: "Let's start."

He waved his hand gently, and the color continued to change from emerald green to colorless, and then turned back to emerald green pearls and jade, turning into a group of graceful light and shadow, from which a spirituality different from the power of Buddhism was transmitted.
