Chapter 190 The Book of Heaven and Shadow
"Your Majesty, can you be more capable than her brother?"
Lei Jun asked, "I heard that the chaos in the southwest related to the former King Shengkang is related to the shadow of the Five Surnames and Seven Families?"
Yuan Mobai: "There are rumors that it is related to the Southern Wilderness Witch Sect, and there are also rumors that it is related to the Central Earth Family, but they are all uncertain news."
Lei Jun raised his eyebrows: "Does the Queen not tolerate any sand in her eyes, or does she have other plans?"
Demon chaos broke out in succession in the Western Regions, the East China Sea, and the North.
Even if some people go with the flow, it will take time and energy to completely calm down the chaos once it really starts.
Therefore, in the current Tang Dynasty, whether it is the imperial family of the Tang court or the famous families, they are all recuperating and have no intention of easily starting a war again in a short period of time.
The Queen's visit to the Tianshi Mansion on her way back to Beijing also shows this attitude.
Of course, pie in the sky will not fall out of thin air.
To a certain extent, this also tied the Tianshi Mansion to the Tang Dynasty imperial family more deeply, and the relationship between the two sides was not affected by the turmoil caused by the Li family.
Now, it is time for the Tianshi Mansion to return the favor.
The school opened by the empress is not only for the Confucian school.
If the tone is higher and not afraid of blowing the bluff, it can hang a signboard of "Wandao Academy".
Of course, Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism, as the three major schools of the world, are definitely still the main ones.
Compared with the previous emperor Zhang Qilong's work on the Demon Guard, the work done by the current empress Zhang Wantong seems to be more elegant and open.
But Lei Jun guessed that the new school is more taboo of the five surnames and seven names.
Well, maybe it should be called the four surnames and six names now?
It can be said that this empress is crazy, and she picked the timing quite carefully.
Among the three holy places of Taoism, there is no need to talk much about the Tianshi Mansion now, and the Chunyang Palace has always been close to the Tang Dynasty imperial family.
After the previous internal turmoil, the Shushan Sect is now more inclined to communicate with the outside world.
The first person to deal with this trend is undoubtedly the Tang Dynasty court.
On the Buddhist side, the Bodhi Temple was recently wiped out, and the remaining three Buddhist holy places are inevitably in danger. They have to be wary of Confucian families and deal with the two Buddhist heterodoxies, the White Lotus Sect and the Dakong Temple, which have regained their power.
In addition to strengthening their connections with each other, they naturally need to cooperate with the Tang court imperial family, at least not to hinder each other.
And the Confucian family has also just been dug into a corner by the empress.
The current majesty really knows how to choose the time.
But if you say she is a man of great talent and strategy, this step is really a bit big.
The Tang Dynasty has experienced ups and downs and turmoil continuously. Now there is such a thing, and there will be no peace for a long time in the future.
Even if the major aristocratic families do not openly rebel against the whole world, they will definitely not remain indifferent.
Lei Jun even had some doubts. Perhaps the empress had planned this long ago. Several major aristocratic families had heard the news earlier, so the former king Sheng Kang reappeared in the southwest as a counterattack.
"General Shangguan came here this time to discuss this matter with our sect. He hoped that an elder of our sect could go to Beijing to participate in the founding of the academy." Yuan Mobai said.
The capital is an important place, and all families and sects will not neglect it.
The Tianshi Mansion is in the capital, and there is a branch stationed in the other prefecture, which is in charge of an elder who can confer the talisman.
Of course, if there is an important event, the elder of high merit still needs to take action. Generally speaking, Shangguan Ning is in charge of coordination.
Now the Tang court hopes that another person will go to Beijing, which actually means that after the academy is founded, the elder will stay in the academy for at least a period of time to be responsible for teaching.
"It is naturally a good thing to be able to expand our sect and spread the teachings to more people, although there will be many obstacles and twists and turns in the process." Yuan Mobai said calmly.
Lei Jun suddenly remembered that when the empress came to Mount Longhu earlier, in addition to the good fortune he chose, there was another good fortune:
Actively contact the imperial family of the Tang court and seek advancement, and you can get a sixth-grade opportunity. There is no danger at the moment, but there are hidden troubles and entanglements of cause and effect...
Sure enough, then he heard Yuan Mobai say: "The preliminary decision of the mansion is that nephew Chongshan will go to Beijing. He has already known about it and has been considering it in recent days."
Shangguan Ning's first disciple Lin Shan, Taoist name Lin Chongshan.
Lei Jun: "This time he jumped into a big whirlpool."
Yuan Mobai: "Nephew Chongshan has always been brave to take on tasks. I think that Master knows him well, and he will most likely go to Beijing."
Thinking back to Lin Shan's enthusiasm to contact the Tang court, Lei Jun was not so surprised.
It's just that Lin Shan probably didn't expect that the empress would do such a big thing at that time, so now he has to think twice before acting.
If he wants to retreat now, it is not completely too late.
But will he?
"Good luck to Senior Brother Lin." Lei Jun said.
Yuan Mobai: "In the short term, there will not be many open attacks, but there will be many hidden arrows."
Although the matter of the newly opened school palace is bound to set off a storm, it is still a small boat that can be turned around.
In this regard, it is similar to the establishment of the Demon Suppression Guard by the former emperor Zhang Qilong, both of which start from simple things.
At that time, the Demon Suppression Guard was formed by drawing personnel. In addition to the Demon Suppression General who was in the seventh heaven realm, the representatives sent by each family were only at the highest level of the middle three days, such as Li Xuan and others.
Now, the newly established school palace draws personnel from all parties, such as Lin Shan and others, who are only at the sixth heaven realm.
The only upper three days...
"The school palace is Xiao Chunhui, a layman from the Xiao clan outside Longwai." Yuan Mobai said.
Lei Jun nodded.
Although the current clan leader is not the legitimate eldest son and legitimate grandson Xiao Hang, but the illegitimate son Xiao Chunhui whose identity is highly controversial, as long as the Xiao clan outside Long is willing to teach openly to common people students, then they will completely tie their family to the Queen's war. The car is gone.
It would be easy to say that the two sides will not completely break up and fight without breaking up.
If there is really going to be blood, the Xiao clan in Longwai will probably be the primary target of the other four surnames and Liu Wang, and their hatred value may be higher than that of the Tang Dynasty imperial family.
Especially when their strength was greatly reduced due to the previous demonic chaos in the Western Region.
With such a good target, for Tianshi Mansion, the next step is a good opportunity to recuperate.
But it is impossible for one family to take advantage of all the benefits.
Therefore, Tianshi Mansion also has to be involved in the matter of opening the new academy.
Lei Jun said from the bottom of his heart that he was actually somewhat interested in this academy.
He has the intention to appreciate all aspects of the world and the mysteries of various spiritual traditions.
Regardless of the Queen's purpose in running the school, such a place where hundreds of schools gather and all parties gather is very attractive to Lei Jun.
However, the time is not right yet.
Lei Jun calmed down and put the matter on hold for the time being.
He first concentrated on assisting his junior sister Tang Xiaotang and master Yuan Mobai in organizing the new transmission ceremony.
After the ceremony, Shangguanpeng stayed for a while.
And Linshan made the final decision.
He will go to Beijing to participate in the Grass Innovation Academy.
Shangguan Ning and Shangguan Peng immediately sent a message back to the capital.
Soon a formal decree came to summon Linshan to Beijing.
After Lin Shan handed over his related errands, he set off with Shangguan Peng to the capital.
The position of chief teacher of Daotong Academy that he resigned from was temporarily handed over to Ke Sicheng.
Ke Sicheng's injury has not fully recovered yet, but he is no longer seriously injured, and his teaching position at the Taoist Academy will not be affected.
...In this case, nothing will happen again, right?
Elder Ke laughed at himself while taking office.
Lei Jun continues to be responsible for the work of his own deacon hall, and in his spare time, he concentrates on his own practice.
If there is any episode in life, it is on that page of heaven.
In the starry sky in the book, Qiyao finally officially arrived.
"I was in seclusion before and left in a hurry. I'm sorry to everyone." Huo Yao said.
When he was with a few others, they kept guessing each other's identities and spoke carefully, so that Lei Jun was now a little uncomfortable with Huo Yao's speaking style.
Is this guy's acting skills particularly good, or...
"Cultivation in seclusion is naturally important. Don't be distracted." Shui Yao suddenly said: "Especially at certain times, you have to be careful to guard against the danger of going crazy."
Huo Yao: "That's not a big deal. I succeeded in overcoming the tribulation this time."
"..." Lei Jun felt even more uncomfortable.
"Now that everyone is here, let's finish what we have been delaying." Riyao said at this time.
The seven stars have gathered, and everyone has been determined to further explore the illusory starry sky in the book.
Yueyao said in a calm tone: "My idea is that this first time, everyone should act together and don't scatter."
Everyone had no objections, but Huo Yao asked: "What should we do?"
Yueyao: "Relax and just be like us."
The sun moves first.
The starry sky in the universe seemed to shake.
Lei Jun and others also took the same action, directing their minds and attention away from the stars that symbolized themselves and spreading them towards the entire universe.
As the universe ripples, the brilliance of the seven rays becomes brighter.
Huo Yao followed Yue Yao's explanation and guidance and imitated everyone.
The next moment, Qiyao seemed to break away from their original position together, and then moved among the vast sea of stars.
The universe is dark, with only a few stars twinkling.
Lei Jun and others moved extremely fast as their thoughts moved, as if ignoring the distance in the void, and quickly arrived in front of other stars.
Although those stars are bright, they are not like the Qiyao where Lei Jun and his seven people are. They are formed by the fusion of human heart and mind.
"Initially, there are only seven people here." Shui Yao said.
Mu Yao then spoke: "Look at these starlights, compare them with the mysteries of the heavenly book, and gain more."
Everyone feels the same way.
In addition to this, Lei Jun has other feelings.
He quietly looked at the starry sky in front of him, and his vision suddenly seemed to be covered with a layer of darkness.
Affected by this, looking at the vast starry sky, another change suddenly occurred.
...The shadow is indeed fundamentally connected to the Book of Heaven.
The already dark starry sky became even darker now.
A little bit of starlight, but it was even more dazzling, so in the dark void, the whole became clear.
There seemed to be a vast galaxy stretching in front of everyone.
The others said nothing about it, and Lei Jun remained silent for the moment, also pretending not to know.
He just concentrated and quietly observed the vast galaxy.
Looking from a distance, one end of the galaxy seems to branch into seven.
This made Lei Jun's heart move slightly.
He looked back at the other side of the galaxy.
But that end was shrouded in light, making it difficult to see where it was going.
PS: The next plot needs to be written slower and more detailed, but I don’t want everyone to wait, so this 3k chapter will be released first. It’s 8,000 words today, and I will try to get more tomorrow.
