Chapter 50 50. The old general on the stage (additional update for the Medicine Master's Guide alliance)
The mountainous areas around Qingxiao Lake have become a marshland that blocks out the sky and the sun.
If you want to leave, there are two ways to go, one north and one west.
We need to report to Zixiao as soon as possible. The closest route is to the west.
In order to leave as soon as possible, Qin Tao chose to walk through the mountains to the west.
Lei Jun watched the other party choose the path mentioned in the lottery without saying anything.
According to the description of this shipment, there is more than one crisis.
If you go west, you will win the lottery, which is bad luck.
Go north and place a lot of money, which will be very bad.
Winning the lottery by staying where you are is not that great, but it is pretty good if you can avoid the first two big pitfalls.
Let's see if Qin Tao, who is in a hurry to run away, can find out something.
Lu Zhaoqing suddenly looked hesitant: Qingxiao Lake only re-installed the talisman array last year. The old Taoist personally inspected it a few days ago. Everything is fine. Why did something suddenly happen today? Isn't it someone who deliberately sabotaged it?
Luo Haoran frowned: I'm afraid...it's true! Uncle Lu, Junior Brother Lei, come with me.
He took Lei Jun and Lu Zhaoqing to check several locations, and they suddenly discovered that the talisman array showed signs of being vandalized.
Looking at the traces, it was done by a body-refining martial arts monk. Luo Haoran said in a deep voice.
Lu Zhaoqing recognized it: It looks like the secret knowledge of the Dong family in the lower reaches of the Qinglan River!
The Qinglan River is an important water system flowing through the Yunxiao Mountains, closely related to Qingxiao Lake, and its downstream is east of the Yunxiao Mountains.
The Dong family is a local wealthy family, and their family tradition is passed down through martial arts.
Physical martial arts is another line of practice that is different from Confucianism, Buddhism, and Taoism. Among them, the practice method of body training martial arts, as the name suggests, focuses all energy on one's own flesh and blood, thereby gaining unimaginable explosive and destructive power.
The so-called warrior, within a short distance, a person can be an enemy of a country.
But Lei Jun and others are not concerned about the Dong family.
For the Zixiao Sect, the Dong family may be a worthy opponent, but it is not enough for the Tianshi Mansion.
What Lei Jun and others noticed was that it was rumored that the Dong family was very close to the Jiangzhou Lin family, one of the several famous families in the Tang Dynasty.
The five surnames of the Tang Dynasty were Qiwang, and the seven famous families, such as the Fang family in Jingxiang and the Chu family in Suzhou, had relatively good relations with the Tianshi Mansion.
But there are also bad ones.
Jiangzhou Lin clan and Xinzhou Longhushan Tianshi Mansion were a pair of rivals in the Tang Dynasty.
There was no other reason. They were too close to each other, and both families made it difficult for the other to sleep peacefully.
Over the years, the two sides have been in constant conflict, resulting in deaths and injuries to each other, and their grievances have become deeper and deeper. Just a few years ago, a major dispute broke out.
Instigated by the Lin clan? Lei Jun asked.
Lu Zhaoqing said: It may be that the Dong family acted on their own, but even if the Lin family knew about it, they would only be happy to see the results.
Dongjia is located in the lower reaches of Qinglan River.
If the upstream Qingxiao Lake bursts its embankments and releases floodwaters, flooding the upper reaches, it will actually reduce the threat to the downstream coast.
On the contrary, the lake embankment has been consolidated upstream of Qingxiaoguan, and the water trend continues downward. The Dong family must also control the water carefully, otherwise they will bear the pressure of the flood peak.
Luo Haoran was angry: For this, we must destroy the upstream water conservancy?!
Lu Zhaoqing was also a little unsure: The Lin clan in Jiangzhou is the Lin clan, and the Dong family is the Dong family. How dare they come to scratch the tiger's beard in the Tianshi Mansion themselves?
Lei Jun was silent.
He thought far away for a moment.
In recent years, contemporary Celestial Masters have gone out of seclusion and retreat again, and their state is somewhat abnormal, which is hard not to be noticed by the outside world.
The Jiangzhou Lin Clan had an old grudge against the Tianshi Mansion. After a few years of brief peace between the two parties, the other party may have begun to have feelings for them again.
The Dong family may be assigned to cast stones to ask for directions...
Lei Jun stopped thinking about it for the time being. In addition to being alert to the surrounding disturbances, he maintained the remaining talisman array with Luo Haoran and Lu Zhaoqing who also stayed behind, and continued to repair and strengthen it.
Each of the three is responsible for a section of the lake embankment.
Lei Jun carefully strengthened the talisman array and used the power of the talismans to block the flooding.
The combination of flood and spiritual energy turbulence has terrible destructive power, constantly impacting the spiritual light of the talisman array, and is full of danger.
But in the crisis-ridden country of Ze, Lei Jun suddenly felt something in his heart.
He actually vaguely felt that his Fire Marrow Yangyu and Weiji Bo were both touched by something.
Lei Jun searched carefully and finally found a strange spiritual stone under the lake embankment.
The spiritual stone is half black and half white, or black at the top and white at the bottom.
The exchange of yin and yang in the stone, the aura artistic conception is somewhat like the cauldron that Lei Jun gave to his master Yuan Mobai, which is both a furnace and a furnace.
Ji Gua, up water and down fire.
It is exactly opposite to Weiji Bo.
When we first built the Qingxiao Lake Talisman Array, in order to balance water and fire, we arranged fire-type spiritual objects in the Talisman Array... Lei Jun said thoughtfully.
The talisman array was previously damaged, the water and fire were out of balance, and there was chaos.
Now the talisman array is barely repaired and maintained, and the fragile balance has been restored, but there is a danger of overturning again at any time.
In the process of rectifying this chaos and containing a new chaos, perhaps such a Jishi stone was accidentally born?
The winning lottery mentioned that there is a sixth-grade opportunity and a seventh-grade opportunity. This should be one of them...
There were a lot of things going on at the moment, so Lei Jun didn't think about it for now, put away the spirit stones, and continued to inspect the lake embankment to strengthen the talisman array.
After a busy trip, the three of them lost a lot of mana and energy.
After Lei Jun and Luo Haoran briefly meditated and adjusted their breath, they recovered more than half of their health.
Lu Zhaoqing still looked weak.
He, who had always had a childish face and fair hair, and a very good-looking appearance as a Taoist priest of the Xian family, now showed an uncontrollable old age.
I'm old, I can't compare to you young people. Lu Zhaoqing sighed.
Both Lei Jun and Luo Haoran said that the rough work would be left to them, and Uncle Lu would just provide guidance.
Although, theoretically Lu Zhaoqing is the one with the highest cultivation level among the three.
But as far as Lei Jun knew, the other party was already over 150 years old.
For a monk in the Dharma Altar Realm who has a lifespan of 200 years, this means that Lu Zhaoqing has entered the final stage of his twilight years.
Not only has the hope of getting to the next level been completely cut off, but the status of all aspects will rapidly decline, and even fall into the realm.
Even if the overall level does not fall, the abilities in all aspects will not be able to maintain their original level.
Although Lei Jun choked Qin Tao half to death with his words, he would not say the same words in front of Lu Zhaoqing.
This old Taoist priest allowed Lei Jun to witness up close and personal for the first time that practitioners will also grow old and weak.
Improve your spiritual practice as early as possible.
Comparing the aging Lu Zhaoqing with Yuan Mobai, Li Ziyang and others in their prime, the differences are vividly displayed.
Senior Brother Luo, I think your water-avoiding talisman seems to be particularly powerful? Lei Jun changed the subject.
Luo Haoran smiled: There is nothing to hide. My third talisman is the water-avoiding talisman.
Lei Jun and Lu Zhaoqing had made guesses before, but Luo Haoran admitted frankly at this moment that they both knew it, but they were more curious.
There are many kinds of spiritual talismans from Tianshi Mansion, and the water-avoiding talisman is not unpopular, but most of the time, everyone regards it as a functional or tool-type talisman.
I have never heard of anyone refining a water-avoiding talisman as their own natal talisman before.
After all, for monks in the realm of the Third Heaven Altar, there are only three places for natal spells. The options include the Thunder Talisman, the Wind Talisman, the Golden Pass Talisman, the Divine Talisman, the Tiangang Talisman, the evil-proof Talisman, the Flame Talisman, etc. Big pile, it is true that there are fewer pits and more radishes.
It is almost unheard of to waste a spot on a water-avoiding talisman under such circumstances.
“When I was a child, my hometown was often hit by floods.”
Luo Haoran explained simply: I didn't talk to Junior Brother Lei before, but my family almost went to Guanlong to join relatives. It was because of this reason.
Lei Jun: So, senior brother, you chose the water-avoiding talisman as your natal talisman to control water?
He recalled that when he was still in Daotongyuan, he interacted with Luo Haoran, and one time he went to Qingyundang Riverbank to relieve disasters and eliminate epidemics.
It was also the summer flood season, and floods disturbed the people.
Well, it's my own little ambition.
Luo Haoran raised his head and looked at the talisman array in front of him: How much, it still comes in handy.
Lei Jun and Lu Zhaoqing both nodded.
The old Taoist priest sighed: Master Nephew Luo, thanks to you and Master Nephew Lei today.
Luo Haoran said a few polite words but didn't dare to say anything.
He felt that his mana and energy were almost restored, so he stood up again: I still don't dare to be careless. I will take a look around again. Now I have to guard against the Dong family coming to destroy it again.
Lei Jun: I'll go with you.
Lu Zhaoqing: You can rest assured about this. The old Taoist has placed some inspirational charms nearby to serve as a warning. If the Dong family is coming, we can take precautions in advance.
