MTL - Seeking Good Fortune and Avoiding Misfortune Starts From Tianshi Mansion-Chapter 58 Heavenly Master Three Treasures
Chapter 58 58. The Three Treasures of the Heavenly Master
The relationship between the major holy places of Buddhism and Taoism and the famous families of Confucianism has always been difficult to describe.
Because of the imperial family of the Tang Dynasty, generally speaking, the families with the same name in the major holy places of Buddhism and Taoism were in opposition.
For example, the Tianshi Mansion is an old enemy of the Jiangzhou Lin Clan.
But there are exceptions.
For example, the square slips of the Fang clan in Jingxiang entered the school of Longhu Mountain and became the direct descendants of the Heavenly Master.
The Chu people of Suzhou also had children who worshiped in Longhu Mountain before. Now they are studying at Tianshi Mansion, but they are not from the same school as Lei Jun.
With a background as a descendant of the Chu ethnic group, it is natural for him to be particular about who he chooses to be his master, and he will also be able to negotiate with him in advance.
Chu Yu explained the purpose of his visit, and then introduced the young man beside him:
“This is Chu Kun, the great-grandson of my seventh uncle.”
The young man looked upright and polite, and saluted Lei Jun and Tang Xiaotang: "Chu Kun has met these two Taoist priests."
Chu Yu looked at Tang Xiaotang with a smile.
Even though he didn't say anything, Tang Xiaotang seemed to have understood what the other party meant.
There is actually only one Taoist priest, Lei Jun, opposite.
Another one, not yet...
Tang Xiaotang was upset, but his attention was attracted by another aspect:
"Wait, he is your seventh uncle's... great-grandson? Then you are him?"
Chu Yu turned to look at the boy beside him.
The young man looked serious and bowed his head to her respectfully: "Sister-in-law."
Lei Jun moved his mandible.
This is not the first time I heard that the Chu girl in front of me is the apple of Lao Lai De's daughter, the old leader of the Chu tribe. She is a junior and a senior.
Tang Xiaotang suddenly laughed and said deliberately: "It's normal, you are not young anymore."
Chu Yu did not look like a lady when she attended the ceremony to greet guests: "Xiaotang is good, my aunt came in a hurry this time and didn't bring you any candy."
Tang Xiaotang’s eyes widened.
Lei Jun looked as usual and greeted Lu Zhaoqing, who was slightly embarrassed at the side. He then said, "I'm busy in Qianshan. I don't need to bother Master Lu here. I can just let my disciple and Senior Sister Tang receive the two guests."
The old Taoist priest glanced at Tang Xiaotang and Chu Yu with some worry, and finally nodded and left.
Chu Yu and Chu Kun were both polite and said goodbye to Lu Zhaoqing and watched each other leave.
Lei Junze looked Chu Yu up and down.
Unlike last year when he came to Longhu Mountain to watch the ceremony, Chu Yu dressed up as a noble lady, now Chu Yu was dressed in a hunting suit and looked heroic.
Her temperament and beauty are also extremely flamboyant and undisguised.
Lei Jun looked at the two blooming flowers facing each other in front of him, and the thought that flashed through his mind was...
This most talented woman in the south of the Yangtze River, could it be that she followed the path of Confucian classics or magic shooting?
In this world, the external differences between Confucian practitioners and Confucian practitioners may be very large.
Generally speaking, Confucianism in the Tang Dynasty is divided into three lines of Taoist inheritance:
Confucian classics, divine shooting and chanting.
In the final analysis, they are all cultivating the aura of Confucianism and the aura of civilization, but in different directions.
Fang Yue before him was of the chanting lineage.
Just looking at the appearance, it is quite consistent with the concept of scholars and scribes in the eyes of many people, and the spiritual practice is indeed based on the soul.
The two lines of Confucian classics and Shenshe are completely different styles of painting. Different from the impression of many people, compared to the "gentle" chanting school, these two schools are better at talking about "force" principles.
Both of them have a long history, and Confucianism is the current mainstream of Confucianism. All the five surnames in the Tang Dynasty and Qi Wang established their families with Confucianism.
A Confucian monk from the lineage of Confucian classics who fights with others. His style is similar to that of Taoist Fulu. It is close to the concept of "double cultivation of law and martial arts" in Lei Jun's impression. In terms of painting style, he is a standard dashing swordsman.
Such a style, I think it is a combination of life and death. While the spirit is strong, the body is also excellent.
As for the lineage of Confucian Shenshe, it has nothing to do with Wenwei.
As the name suggests, you can cultivate your body and strengthen your bow and arrows with your own awe-inspiring aura, and you can use your literary talent to refine your spiritual will and make it more sharp and precise.
As a result, the range, hit rate, and penetration of arrows are far superior to those of ordinary people.
His melee combat skills may be inferior, but in terms of physique alone, with the blessing of Haoran's righteousness, he is almost as good as a martial artist of the same level.
…Many Confucian classics and archery monks pride themselves on being both civil and military, quick and unrestrained, and they look down upon martial artists who only know how to fight hand-to-hand.
In the Tang army, there were many practitioners of the Confucian sect’s divine archery lineage who joined them, forming one of the backbone forces.
The influence of the Five Surnames and Seven Hopes has penetrated into all aspects of today’s world.
“This is not the place to entertain guests, little senior sister, why don’t we entertain guests somewhere else?” Lei Junyan said.
Tang Xiaotang kept his eyes on the woman opposite him and sat down directly on a rock: "I think this place is very nice, with a natural and elegant feel."
Chu Yu smiled slightly, not too particular, and nodded and smiled at Lei Jun: "I agree with this."
Lei Jun was so happy with them that he didn't have to do any other etiquette like serving tea.
“Your father, Mr. Chu, is a friend of your contemporaries, the Celestial Masters of the past, and he has given you an advantage. Even the Celestial Masters of the present generation and the junior uncles do not regard you as their senior, so you still have to push yourself even further?”
Tang Xiaotang said rudely: "You brought your great-nephew to be a disciple of my junior uncle, are you sincerely taking advantage of me?"
Chu Yu: "How dare you? I have always admired Elder Yuan for his profound knowledge of Taoism. If Chu Kun is really lucky enough to join Elder Yuan's sect, he will be a member of the Taoist sect. Apart from returning home to pay homage to his ancestors, everything is up to him."
She turned to look at the young man beside her: "If there hadn't been some connection between Chu Kun and Elder Yuan, how could I have the nerve to bring him to visit?"
“Yatefa?” Tang Xiaotang was curious.
“I didn’t know you were in Qingxiao Mountain before I came here, so I only prepared three latitude and longitude boxes. Please bear with me.”
Although Chu Yu said this to Tang Xiaotang, his attitude didn't mean much to forgive him.
She nodded to Chu Kun, and the young man quickly took out three brocade boxes and handed them to Lei Jun.
Chu Yu continued: "A few fragrant letters and gold treasures, just to express my feelings, one is presented to Elder Yuan, one is presented to Taoist Lei, and the other is asked to be taken back to Longhu Mountain by Taoist Lei and handed over to Elder Yuan the other day. A high-ranking Taoist priest."
The latitude and longitude box is a spiritual treasure made by Confucianism. The box contains the meaning of latitude and longitude. It is also called the miniature in the bag of Taoism and the mustard seed and Xumiru of Buddhism. They are both spiritual treasures that can accommodate a large number of items in a very small space.
Only people with the fifth surname and Qiwang can see him.
Lei Jun did not open the box to see what was in it, but said directly: "This matter needs to be decided by the master. As a disciple, I have no room to interfere."
Chu Yu: "If it really comes to that day, after Chu Kun starts his studies in the future, I will ask Taoist Master Lei and Taoist Wang to take care of him as my senior brothers."
Lei Jun: “It is appropriate for fellow disciples of our sect to be friendly and help each other.”
"That's it, thank you very much." Chu Yu thanked Lei Jun first, then looked at Tang Xiaotang with a smile: "Thank you Taoist Tang too."
Tang Xiaotang frowned and finally moved his eyes away from Chu Yu, turning to look at the young man next to him.
Yuan Mobai saw guests today. They were from the Fang clan in Jingxiang. Elders Fang Yue and Fang Mingyuan arrived.
Later, he met Chu Yu's "ancestors and grandsons".
That night, Chu Yu and Chu Kun stayed at Qingxiaoguan and waited until the next day to leave.
In the courtyard of the guest house, Chu Kun listened to his sister-in-law’s instructions honestly:
“Wang Guiyuan and Lei Jun are both extraordinary people, especially Lei Jun. If you can successfully become the disciple of Elder Yuan, you might as well spend more time with your fellow seniors.”
Chu Kun hesitated for a moment, but still couldn't hold it back: "Auntie, my fifteenth uncle also mentioned that you seem to have a special regard for that Lei Jun..."
“Fifteen, his vision is too bad. Lei Jun has survived two catastrophes in less than five years, from Taoist Qi refining to the Dharma altar. Isn’t it worth looking at him differently?” Chu Yu said casually.
The young man in front of him grinned: "My aunt, you are much faster than this..."
"Well, let me put it another way. My brother, your great uncle, had a competition with Elder Yuan in the early years, but he was inferior in skill."
Chu Yu did not shy away from it: “I dealt with Xu Yuanzhen once, and I also suffered a little loss.
So, it is rare for Yuan Mobai and Xu Yuanzhen to value the same person. Let's pay attention to this person, isn't it too much? "
Chu Kun felt that this young aunt was giving off a dangerous aura, and he immediately straightened his body and nodded like a chicken pecking at rice: "It's not too much! It's not too much at all!"
Chu Yu waved his hand, and the young man quickly ran away.
“Except for Yuan Mobai and Xu Yuanzhen, now…”
Chu Yu was sitting alone in the courtyard, thoughtful, with a smile on his lips: "Should we add Tang Xiaotang?"
On the other side, Yuan Mobai was chatting with Lei Jun and Tang Xiaotang in his quiet room.
“When that child was born some years ago, there was indeed some connection with me.”
He briefly mentioned a few words: "At that time, I was traveling abroad and accidentally got a piece of news about the Tianshi Seal, so I looked around and met a Chu couple by chance, and we became friends."
“Tianshi Seal?”
Lei Jun and Tang Xiaotang looked at each other.
As heirs of the Tianshi Mansion, the two of them are certainly no strangers to this.
Everyone knows that there are countless treasures in the Tianshi Mansion.
But there are three treasures and one altar, which can be called the highest and famous all over the world:
One altar is the altar of the Ten Thousand Dharmas, which governs the authentic talismans of the world.
The three treasures are the Celestial Master's Seal, the Celestial Master's Sword and the Celestial Master's Robe. They are all supreme magic weapons that have been famous in Taoist schools for thousands of years.
but…
There is a little problem.
Just a little bit.
The Celestial Master's Seal, the first of the Three Treasures, was lost a few years ago.
