Seeking good fortune and avoiding misfortune starts from Tianshi Mansion

Chapter 7 7. Li surname and foreign surname

All that was left of the thief was his body, which looked like a dead tree, standing stubbornly on the spot.

The thunder and lightning that had been blocked by the light shield and bounced away surged in all directions, causing the rocks to break and tilt.

The cliff broke, and the thief's body slid down along with the gravel and rolled into the stream under the rock.

Lei Jun raised his hand, but in the end he did not step forward to intercept him. He only watched the other party's body drift down the water.

He put away the jet-black scale, left the cliff, and followed the river slowly downstream to look for it.

Halfway through, Lei Jun met other students.

I met him upstream of the river and attacked him with the Thunder Talisman given by Taoist Master Gao, but he fell into the river and escaped, Lei Jun said.

The body of the thief was found downstream. The Taoist priest in yellow who came towards us said, The alchemy furnace was also found on him.

The stolen goods that the thief stole earlier was an alchemy furnace from Taotong's first branch.

Even so, in terms of value, it is definitely not as good as the jet-black scales that can even block the Thunder Talisman.

At present, it seems that the sixth-grade opportunity mentioned in the lottery is most likely to be that weird scale.

He died of exhaustion and exhaustion.

The Taoist priest in yellow glanced at Lei Jun: Everyone who participated in rounding up and driving him away deserves credit, and you are no exception.

Lei Jun: I don't want to take it seriously. I just try my best to do my job.

Well, you take the body back to the Taoist courtyard. The Taoist priest in yellow was in a hurry, but he was heading up the mountain.

The Taoist boys didn't want to ask too many questions.

But everyone looked toward the mountain curiously.

The two previous big movements, the first time came from the Taoist courtyard at the foot of the mountain, and the second time seemed to come from the mountain.

Everyone murmured in their hearts, but they could only collect the team first and return to Daotongyuan.

When I returned to the courtyard, I heard that someone had set fire to the first branch again.

This time is really... Some Taoist boys had strange expressions.

Lei Jun understood.

The first branch is the private residence of the Li family's children.

For young people who want to embark on the road, being able to enter the Tianshi Mansion is one of the best starting points.

There must be some imperfections. It was only after Lei Jun got started that he realized that the successors of Tianshi Mansion are actually divided into two categories.

The surname is Li.

And those not named Li.

In this world, in the Tianshi Mansion in the early years, there were no rules for the inheritance of the position of Tianshi. Each generation would choose a successor with both ability and political integrity to take over.

But the recent generations of heavenly masters are all descended from the same blood family, passed down from ancestors to fathers, from fathers to sons, and from sons to grandsons.

It is the Li family that now has deep roots and luxuriant branches in Tianshi Mansion.

To be fair, several generations of Li Celestial Masters, including contemporary Celestial Masters, can be regarded as the best among their peers.

Under their leadership, although the Tianshi Mansion has experienced many ups and downs, it still stands firm and is a holy place for countless monastic sects in the world.

It's just that as time goes by, the Li family's children become more and more high-profile and powerful.

Some of the rules since the Tianshi Mansion was founded are still maintained on the surface.

For example, beginners first enter the Taoist Academy to study and practice, and only after outstanding people participate in the transmission ceremony can they officially go up the mountain and enter the Tianshi Mansion to become the true transmission.

At present, the Li family's children also have to go through this process.

It's just that there are few children of the Li family who are Taoist boys who cannot participate in the transmission.

The first branch of Daotongyuan is a place dedicated to the enlightenment and foundation of Li's children.

On the surface, all the fees are the same as those of other branches, but behind the scenes, it is said that all the Li children are picky eaters after eating Xiaozao...

Just like the stolen alchemy furnace this time, it is one of the special magical tools provided by the branch.

Brother Lei!

When several Taoist boys from the Sixth Branch saw Lei Jun, they were full of envy: I heard you were the one who caught the thief?

Lei Jun shook his head: I didn't catch it, I missed it a little bit. In the end, he ran out of energy and died of exhaustion, so the meritorious deeds are credited to everyone.

Senior Brother Zhang sighed: Although we all record the merits together, the first merits are mainly recorded on the heads of those who took the initiative to round up.

Those of us who stood still at the pass crossing were all inferior. With so many people, there would be nothing left on everyone’s head.

After tossing until midnight, everyone was exhausted, but they couldn't disband and rest.

Later, many people from the Tianshi Mansion wearing apricot-yellow Taoist robes came to the Taotong Courtyard and called everyone to question them individually.

Although they didn't reveal much information, Lei Jun could tell that there was something serious about the thieves' accomplices.

However, after being questioned, the Taoists were released one by one to rest.

Lei Jun returned to his small courtyard, took out the black scale again, and began to study it in more detail.

Maybe it was to facilitate the use of the Taoist boy who was also in the first level of Qi Refining realm, or maybe it was to leave no clues and there was no restriction on other people's mana within the scales.

Lei Jun used his true energy to move the black scales, and a faint light suddenly appeared on the surface of the scales.

In his mind, an image of light and shadow appeared, like a dragon or a horse, combining majesty and grace, mysterious and unpredictable.

In the teaching materials of Daotongyuan, there are pictures introducing the world's spiritual beasts, auspicious beasts, strange monsters and spirits.

Therefore, Lei Jun recognized at a glance that the light and shadow image was the spiritual beast dragon and horse.

It turned out to be the dragon-horse scale... Lei Jun nodded slightly.

He tried to inject more Qi into the black scales like the thief.

Suddenly, with the scales as the center, radiance intertwined and the giant shield reappeared.

However, his true energy flows out in large amounts and is consumed very quickly.

Lei Jun stopped moving, and the light faded away, leaving only black scales in his palm, which was quiet and mysterious.

A sixth-grade opportunity, an excellent protective treasure... Lei Jun nodded first, then shook his head.

It's a pity that what I need most now are treasures that can assist my practice, increase my practice speed, and reduce the difficulty of my practice.

Otherwise, according to the current rate of progress, before the Grand Ceremony of Transmission at the beginning of next year, at most the tenth level of Qi refining will be reached, and it will be impossible to reach the perfection of the Twelfth level of Qi refining.

I hope that if I have the opportunity to choose my destiny next time, it will help me practice further.

Of course, the protective treasure will definitely be useful.

To protect oneself is to protect the Tao.

If life is gone, there is no way to practice cultivation.

Not to mention the risk to one's life, just the time spent recuperating after an injury delays one's practice.

Lei Jun put away his treasures, changed his clothes and went to sleep.

When he woke up the next day, he washed up and went to have breakfast to prepare for morning classes.

The first person he met was Wang Guiyuan.

Lei Jun: Senior Brother Wang?

Wang Guiyuan: Last night, you were acting with Junior Brother Gao?

Lei Jun: We separated halfway through the chase. There was a fire in the Taoist courtyard. Taoist priest Gao took a few people back to catch the thief's accomplices who set the fire. The rest of us continued to chase the thief.

Wang Guiyuan was silent for a moment.

He looked left and right, his eyes drifting to the other side, but he lowered his voice:

Junior Brother Gao and the others... something happened.

Lei Jun: …………

To be precise, it's not just Junior Brother Gao and the few Taoist boys he led. Wang Guiyuan nodded lightly: There are also other disciples.

He walked in front, Lei Jun followed silently behind him.

After a long time, Lei Jun asked: Is it here on Longhu Mountain?

Wang Guiyuan nodded lightly.

Lei Jun: Senior brother, what happened over there on the mountain last night?

Wang Guiyuan did not answer Lei Jun's question immediately, but said earnestly:

Junior Brother Lei, what I am going to say may be a bit superficial, but I personally think that practitioners like us should try our best to show our bravery as little as possible. In many cases, safety comes first and safety comes first!

Lei Jun: I understand senior brother's concern, and I also feel that your words are reasonable. It's just that in life, many things are really unpredictable before they happen.
