MTL - Seeking Good Fortune and Avoiding Misfortune Starts From Tianshi Mansion-Chapter 194 193 Someone dug a hole to bury themselves
Chapter 194 193. Someone digs a hole to bury himself
“Dannan Mountain?”
Lei Jun asked slowly: "Master, as far as my disciples know, Danan Mountain is a relatively large mountain range in the Southern Wilderness. It stretches over many places and has many dangerous peaks.
The news about the Tianshi robe only says that the words of Dashan Mountain are tantamount to having needles in the sea. Is there a more specific point? "
Yuan Mobai: "About Guchengling, the main peak in the western section of Danan Mountain."
Lei Jun thought deeply after hearing this.
Guchengling, pointing to the middle and lower road.
In fact, it is also very dangerous.
Because the fate predicted by the current situation is not that Lei Jun will go to Gucheng Ridge alone, but that he will go with his master Yuan Mobai.
In this case, a lottery with many dangers and unpredictable life and death can be drawn, which is enough to show the danger.
Given where the information Yuan Mobai got pointed, Lei Jun actually had some doubts about whether this might be a trap.
Longhu Mountain is looking for the lost Celestial Master's Seal and Celestial Master's robe. This is something that cannot be concealed.
If foreign enemies are serious about it, they may set up an ambush for this point.
Xu Yuanzhen disappeared, and Tang Xiaotang is now in charge of the Tianshi Sword and the Wanfa Zongtan as a Tianshi and cannot easily leave the mountain.
The most likely targets of the other party are the three highly accomplished elders Yuan Mobai, Yao Yuan and Shangguan Ning.
Given that the Tianshi Mansion is empty, even if someone passes by, it will be one of three people at most.
This may give the other party a chance.
However, the fortune-telling is a mid-range draw, so there is room for movement.
Moreover, this fortune is for Lei Jun rather than Yuan Mobai, so for Yuan Mobai, the situation is slightly easier.
But there is absolutely no need to take this risk.
According to the fortune, there is only danger but no opportunity, which means that there is not even a real bait in the trap on the other side of Danan Mountain. He is really not a son of a man... Lei Jun is quite disgusted.
“Chongyun?”
Yuan Mobai looked at the silent Lei Jun: "Did you hear anything?"
Lei Jun nodded: "Master, don't go to that side of Gucheng Ridge, it's probably a trap!"
He now has a very suitable target to dump the blame on: "A while ago, at the starry sky party in the book, I heard someone mention Guchengling when I was exchanging information with others. Although the other party was vague, we should be cautious."
When Yuan Mobai heard this, his expression remained relaxed and his smile did not diminish: "If there is a trap, can we know where the enemy is coming from?"
No matter whether the news Lei Jun got is true or false, Yuan Mobai will treat it with caution at this moment.
It’s not a question of how much confidence you have, but it’s not easy to recover your strength after the Tianshi Mansion was robbed. Naturally, you have to be careful not to be hit hard again. Some things are more trustworthy than trustworthy.
It is true that the Heavenly Master's robe is of great importance, but Yuan Mobai had previously received relevant information from the Gucheng Ridge of Danan Mountain, which was originally an unconfirmed rumor.
“The other party was not clear about the specific situation, but...”
Lei Jun quickly made a plan and found a roughly justified excuse and reason for his claim. Although it was a lie, the purpose was to prevent his mentor from being in danger:
“...However, the other party mentioned that more than one master with three days of cultivation has been found in Gucheng Ridge recently. Among them are people from the South Wilderness Witch Sect, and there are also Confucian monks who are suspected of being from the Tang Dynasty in the Middle Earth!"
Just looking at the fortune telling description, Lei Jun was not sure who was using the news about the Heavenly Master's robe to set a trap.
But he had suspicions.
The current relatively clear enemies of Tianshi Mansion can be roughly divided into three groups.
Needless to say much about the first route, the old enemy Huang Tiandao.
The second route is in the local snake of Nanhuang, Jinchengzhai, the holy land of the Wumen and Ghost Path in Nanhuang. The current faction in charge has an old grudge with the Tianshi Mansion.
As for the third way, it is more general, but it is also the most powerful.
They are all the famous families in the Tang Dynasty in China.
The major aristocratic families are currently focusing their attention on the Academy in the capital and the Xiao clan outside Longnan. I heard that the situation has reached a point of imminence.
But we have to consider the possibility of the other party feinting a shot.
Especially the Ye clan of Jinzhou with four surnames and six Wangzhong, who initially intervened in the internal struggle between Li and Li in the Tianshi Mansion.
Lei Jun was wary of them.
Anyway, it was suspected news that had not yet been confirmed, so Lei Jun singled out the Confucian family as a target.
Since the location is in Nanhuang, the Nanhuang Wumen, as a local snake, is more likely to have a hand in it. Although it does not specify that it is Jincheng Village, it is enough to be the object of suspicion.
“Are you a great Confucian or a great shaman in the last three days?” Yuan Mobai pondered.
Lei Jun: "Although we are not sure yet, I contacted Master and you suddenly mentioned the news about Tianshipao and Guchengling today. I thought it was necessary to be on guard."
Yuan Mobai nodded slightly: "This is how it should be."
Lei Jun suddenly felt something in his heart.
He read the fortunes again, and murmured in his heart again.
If we say that Guchengling, the main peak in the western section of Danan Mountain mentioned in the Zhongxia Sign and Sign, is a trap set by the enemy.
So, what about Chaoyang Peak, the main peak in the eastern section of Danan Mountain mentioned in the next post?
According to fortune telling, Chaoyang Peak is actually more dangerous than Gucheng Ridge!
But the rumors about the Heavenly Master's robe obtained by Yuan Mobai pointed to Gucheng Ridge, not Chaoyang Peak.
It would be outrageous to say that the same group of enemies divided their forces to set up an ambush and prepared a double insurance.
The Dananshan Mountains are long and the main peaks in the west and east are separated by more than thousands of miles.
One end is used for fighting, and the other end is used as the atmosphere group, which is out of reach.
If you want to buy double insurance outside Guchengling, the main peak in the western section, then there are many other ambush locations along the long mountain range of Danan Mountain to the east. Why go to Chaoyang Peak, the extremely remote main peak in the eastern section?
Even if Yuan Mobai is deceived into going to Guchengling and gets nothing, he can at most look for it in other places in the western section of Danan Mountain. At best, he can go to the mountains in the middle section to have a look. What is the probability that he will definitely go to Chaoyang Peak, the main peak in the eastern section?
So, the source of danger pointed to by Zhongxiaotiao and Xiaxialoti may be two people from different groups?
Do they know each other’s existence...
Thinking of this, Lei Jun had some thoughts in his mind.
“Master, this disciple will go into the starry sky in the book again to find out the news.”
Lei Jun looked at Yuan Mo Baiyan and said: "What the people in Qiyao said may not be entirely true and need further confirmation."
Yuan Mobai: "That's fine."
Lei Jun would not seriously verify the matter with the other six people.
When the identity of each other is not confirmed for the time being, disclosure of personal information can be avoided if possible.
He was just putting on a show so that he could explain it to Yuan Mobai later.
“In the area around Guchengling, the main peak in the western section of Danan Mountain, it is very likely that there are indeed enemies using the information from the Heavenly Master’s Robe to set a trap against our sect.”
Lei Junyan said: "Besides this, there is some news about Chaoyang Peak, the main peak in the eastern section of Danan Mountain. There seems to be an extremely ferocious monster haunting there, but this news is not conclusive."
It’s hard to say what will happen if Yuan Mobai dies on the fateful road.
But if Lei Jun crashes into Chaoyang Peak, even if Yuan Mobai is by his side, it will be a dead end. Yuan Mobai cannot protect him.
Lei Jun doesn’t know the reason for such a dangerous environment for the time being, so he will inform Yuan Mobai first in the name of the big demon.
Let’s check other channels later to see if there is any news about Chaoyang Peak, the main peak in the eastern section of Danan Mountain.
"Master, I have an idea..." Lei Jun said carefully.
The smile on Yuan Mobai's face disappeared, and his expression became more serious: "Are you trying to lead the West and the East into a fight?"
Lei Jun nodded slightly.
Yuan Mobai: “Very risky.”
Lei Jun: "The tit-for-tat confrontation between the famous family and our sect is becoming increasingly tit-for-tat. Let's not mention the Bodhi Temple that has been wiped out. Let's just talk about our sect. It has been plotted overtly and covertly by people not once or twice.
Previously, there were people from the Ye tribe in Jinzhou and the Chu tribe in Suzhou, who directly intervened in the dispute between Li and Wai. Now Dananshan intends to set up an ambush.
The disciple believes that our sect has been passively responding and will inevitably be exhausted. We should find some other things for our opponents to do so that our sect can escape. "
He said slowly: "Our sect is currently at a low point and needs to recuperate. We should avoid direct conflicts with the enemy. Killing people with borrowed knives is a common method used by Jinzhou Ye Clan and Youzhou Lin Clan. We may be able to treat others in their own way. body…"
Yuan Mobai did not veto Lei Jun's proposal, but just asked: "How to ensure that the person in Qiyao who gives you relevant information is not the enemy we will face this time?"
Lei Jun: "Although I am not completely sure, this person is probably a member of the Tang Dynasty imperial family."
The imperial family of the Tang Dynasty hoped to use the power of the sect's holy land to check and balance the famous families.
But for Tianshi Mansion, it is not now.
The Tang Dynasty emperor also wanted to sharpen this dull knife and put it to greater use.
Otherwise, the Queen would not have gone to Longhu Mountain to support the Tianshi Mansion.
“If you can’t leave alone, you still have to go on this journey as a teacher.”
Yuan Mo Bai was usually gentle, but just because he dared to take the risk to temporarily put aside the Wanfa Zong altar and go out to ambush the elders of the Lin clan in Jiangzhou in Xianliu Palace, we knew that he had a dangerous side.
Lei Junze said: "The disciple walks with the master."
According to the winning lottery, this trip to Danan Mountain, or even deep into the Southern Wilderness, is generally considered safe as long as you don’t hit the boundary between Gucheng Ridge and Chaoyang Peak.
After the master and apprentice made some further discussions, they began to make preparations.
Including Tang Xiaotang, no one else in the house knew what was going on. Lei Jun and Yuan Mobai simply reported that the master and the apprentice would leave the mountain and walk to the southern wilderness together to search for the robe of the Heavenly Master.
Although Tang Xiaotang wanted to go out together, he was eventually persuaded by Lei Jun and Yuan Mobai.
Chishu Pavilion is quiet and there is little business. Lei Jun can leave in a short time. He can just ask a few disciples to look after him.
The master and the disciple immediately left Longhu Mountain without saying any more nonsense.
They did not go south immediately, but first went to Zixiao Sect, Tianxu Sect, Yuhe Sect and other Taoist Fulu branches to conduct a tour.
His whereabouts are unpredictable, making it difficult to trace his whereabouts.
But one day, after leaving a place, the master and the apprentice suddenly disappeared and did not return to the ancestral court of Longhu Mountain for a long time.
There was no panic in the Tianshi Mansion. It seemed that Master Lei Jun and his disciples had already known that Master Lei Jun had other plans.
In this way, the news spread and fell into the ears of interested people.
In the mountains of the Southern Wilderness.
“Mother, master and apprentice Yuan Mobai and Lei Jun have been missing for some time.”
Ye Lingxi, the legitimate daughter of the Ye clan in Jinzhou, stood behind her mother Ye Han: "If they really came to this area of Danan Mountain, they should have arrived by now."
Ye Han said calmly: "Don't be impatient and wait for the news. It's just a casual try. If you miss it, you will miss it."
Ye Lingxi lowered his head: "Yes."
Ye Han: "Over there in Jinchengzhai, the exchange of information cannot be interrupted, but we also need to be careful."
Ye Lingxi: “My daughter understands.”
They and Jinchengzhai have a common goal and enemy, Tianshi Mansion.
But it does not mean that the two sides are close allies.
On the contrary, when dealing with people from places like Jinchengzhai, the holy land of the Wumen Ghost Path, you must always be cautious.
For ghost masters, the quality of the evil spirit zombies they serve is important, not their origins.
There are excellent materials that can be used to refine the Evil Soul Walking Corpse. If the time is right, of course you won’t miss it.
But Ye Han still contacted the strong men in Jincheng Village.
At first sight, this is the Southern Wilderness, and the other side is a local snake.
As for dealing with the Tianshi Mansion, after all, it can promote cooperation between the two parties on a large scale.
Secondly, it was just like when I met the abbot of Bodhi Temple.
If conditions permit, the people of the Jinzhou Ye clan have no intention of taking action personally.
There is Jinchengzhai, a holy land of the Wumen Ghost Path, which is hostile to the Tianshi Mansion, in the Southern Wilderness. The Jinzhou Ye Clan will not miss it.
This is a consistent habit of the Jinzhou Ye tribe under the influence of the old clan leader.
The old man himself was one of the few powerful men in the Nine Heavens in the Tang Dynasty, but he rarely took action personally throughout his life.
Ye Han and Ye Lingxi are his daughters and granddaughters, and they have not met each other a few times.
Most of what they saw were stories like this:
With the rise of the Li family in Xinzhou, they became the dominant family in the Tianshi Mansion, the holy land of the Taoist Fulu Sect. The disputes between Li and others broke out continuously, causing the Tianshi Mansion to be in constant internal strife for nearly two hundred years.
Xuantian Temple, a sacred place for Buddhists to observe the precepts, is becoming more and more closed and self-contained, and more and more children from aristocratic families are becoming disciples in the temple.
Shushan Sect, the holy land of Taoist weapon refining sect, also has serious internal differences, and a civil war finally broke out a few years ago.
Bodhi Temple, the holy land of Buddhist Zen and martial arts, has just been destroyed by the end of the Dharma.
The Zhang and Tang royal family's efforts to support the sect's holy land in order to check and balance the aristocratic families were constantly defused.
What especially worries Ye Han and her daughter is that even they can't explain clearly how much of the Jinzhou old man's involvement in the demonic chaos in the Western Regions that directly ruined the power of the late Emperor Zhang Qilong was pre-planned and how much he was just following the flow of events. …
Of course, for many things, one’s own cultivation strength is the foundation.
You don’t have to use it, but you can’t live without it.
The old man himself is one of the few powerful people in the Nine Heavens Realm in the Tang Dynasty, so he seems to be warning his descendants of this truth.
So this time Ye Han went south in person, not just her daughter Ye Lingxi.
“Mother…”
Ye Lingxi unfolded a scroll.
The blank paper suddenly had writing automatically appearing on it.
Ye Han turned around and glanced: "Yuan Mobai and Lei Jun? Sure enough, they are here."
Later, Ye Lingxi opened another volume, and a message from another side appeared on the paper: "There is news from Jinchengzhai. They also discovered that Yuan Mobai and Lei Jun appeared in the northern part of Danan Mountain."
Ye Han nodded lightly: "Let's prepare too. It would be best if we can keep Yuan Mobai on this trip. It will be a surprise to Lei Jun."
Ye Lingxi was thoughtful.
“Why, are you feeling competitive?” Ye Han asked.
Ye Lingxi shook his head: "How could it be? My grandfather and you have always taught us that as scholars, we should keep our minds calm and there is no need to compete with others.
Whether dealing with the Bodhi Temple or the Tianshi Mansion, the purpose is to eliminate the source of disaster caused by Buddhism and Taoism to disrupt the world's knowledge and establish the foundation of the clan for all generations, rather than out of personal grudges and conflicts of temperament. "
Ye Han: "It's good if you can remember this."
She turned around and walked away: "To be fair, Master Yuan Mobai and Lei Jun are all temporary talents. However, because of this, they should be killed as soon as possible and should not be left alone."
"My daughter understands." Ye Lingxi followed up: "My daughter was thinking just now that she heard that Yuan Mobai always cherishes his disciples, so she might be able to use this to make a fuss about using Lei Jun to tie Yuan Mobai down, so that she can be more confident about killing him. Stay here to prevent him from escaping."
Ye Han: "Let's see how far the people in Jinchengzhai can go first."
The people in Jinchengzhai were very injured.
Because they had already made preparations for an ambush in Guchengling, and there were also women from the Jinzhou Ye tribe outside who were ready to take action at any time.
But Master and Disciple Yuan Mobai, who had previously been heard to be rushing to Danan Mountain, suddenly disappeared again.
Danan Mountain is, after all, a vast area with continuous mountains.
As local snakes, it is impossible for the people in Jinchengzhai to control every inch of land, especially since they are now acting unscrupulously.
However, they were patient and continued to wait quietly near Gucheng Ridge.
Like a hunter waiting for his prey.
Ye Han and Ye Lingxi also remained calm and only sent out fellow spies to keep the news network open.
A few days later, their patience seemed to be paying off.
The news came that someone had seen Master Lei Jun and his disciple in the middle section of Danan Mountain.
But they soon lost their trace.
"Are you aware or suspicious?" Ye Lingxi looked at his mother.
Ye Hanze lowered his head and looked at the message conveyed through the words on the scroll: "Don't be in a hurry, just wait and see what happens."
Later, new news came.
Yuan Mobai's whereabouts are still unknown.
Lei Jun was the only one who suddenly appeared alone in the Danan Mountains, but soon disappeared again.
“One light and one dark, or two armies?” Ye Lingxi murmured to himself.
Ye Han picked up his pen and wrote a few words on the blank scroll: "With one light and one dark, it is more likely to come directly to Guchengling. Now it looks more like the troops are divided into two groups."
The ink characters appeared on the blank paper and then quickly disappeared.
Ye mother and daughter are still waiting quietly.
Later, new news finally came:
Someone saw a young Taoist who looked like Yuan Mobai in the mountains in the western section of Danan Mountain. He seemed to be looking for something.
Lei Jun, on the other hand, went in the opposite direction from his mentor, seeming to be heading towards the eastern section of Danan Mountain.
"For the time being, we are still focusing on Yuan Mobai. We will stay near Gucheng Ridge and wait for him." Ye Han said: "On Lei Jun's side, pay attention to his whereabouts, especially if he leaves Danan Mountain and returns north."
Jinzhou Ye tribe and Jinchengzhai waited together near Guchengling, but there was still no sign of Yuan Mobai.
There is news that Lei Jun has begun to appear more in the eastern section of Dananshan Mountain recently.
“They sensed an ambush in Guchengling?”
Ye Lingxi was surprised: "Then just leave, why bother going to the eastern section of Danan Mountain?
If they want to ambush us in turn... Tang Xiaotang from Longhu Mountain should not have brought the Tianshi Sword out of the mountain! "
Ye Han: "Has there been any trouble in the eastern section of Danan Mountain recently?"
Ye Lingxi: “There has been no relevant news.”
Ye Han frowned: "Is there anything special there that attracts them?"
"Um?"
Ye Lingxi took out a scroll and unfolded it. He read the text on it and was surprised: "In the eastern section of Danan Mountain, there is a mountain with nine colors of light flashing on it. Does it look exactly like the robe of a heavenly master?"
Mother and daughter looked at each other.
They spread the news that there are clues to the Celestial Master's robe in Guchengling, the main peak in the western section of Danan Mountain. They are nothing but white wolves.
Can it be said that Danan Mountain is really the blessed place of Longhu Mountain Tianshi Mansion?
Just, over there in the eastern section?
