MTL - Seeking Good Fortune and Avoiding Misfortune Starts From Tianshi Mansion-Chapter 50 The old general on the stage (for the "Yakushi Baojian" alliance)

  Chapter 50 50. The old general on the stage (updated for the "Yakushi Baojian" League)

 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: north and west.

Go to the Zixiao faction letter as soon as possible and go to the west closest.

In order to leave as soon as possible, Qin Tao chose to walk through the mountains to the west.

Lei Jun watched the opponent choose the path mentioned in the lottery without saying anything else.

 According to the description of this shipment, there is more than one crisis.

　　Going to the west, you will win the lottery, which is bad luck.

　　Going to the north, the fortune will be greatly misfortune.

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. I 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 artificially destroyed.

“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!"

 Qinglan River is an important water system flowing through the Yunxiao Mountains. It is 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 means that within a short distance, one person can defeat the 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 for the Tianshi Mansion, they are not worthy enough.

Lei Jun and others noticed that it was rumored that the Dong family was very close to the Jiangzhou Lin family, one of 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.

 The reason is that they are too close to each other and both families find it difficult 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, major disputes 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 upstream, 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 continues to flow 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 the Tianshi Mansion to scratch the tiger's beard themselves?"

 Lei Jun was silent.

 He thought too far for a moment.

Contemporary Celestial Masters have been in retreat and retreat again in recent years. Their state is somewhat abnormal, and it is difficult for the outside world not to notice it.

The Lin Clan of Jiangzhou had an old grudge with the Tianshi Mansion. After a few years of brief peace between the two parties, the other party may have started to have thoughts again.

The Dong family may be assigned to cast stones to ask for directions...

Lei Jun didn't think much 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 were also left behind, and continued to repair and strengthen it.

 Three people are each 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 turbulent flow of spiritual energy has terrible destructive power, constantly impacting the spiritual light of the talisman array, and is full of dangers.

 But in the crisis-ridden Ze country, 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 spirit 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 and artistic conception is somewhat similar to the cauldron that Lei Jun gave to his master Yuan Mobai, which is a conducive furnace.

 Ji Gua, water above and fire below.

  Exactly opposite to Weiji Bo.

“When we first built the Qingxiao Lake Talisman Array, in order to balance the water and fire, we arranged fire 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.

At present, 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 again and again, and containing a new chaos, perhaps such a gifted stone was unexpectedly born?

 The winning lottery mentioned that there is a sixth-grade chance and a seventh-grade chance. This should be one of them...

There are many things to do at the moment, so Lei Jun does not think about it in detail for the time being. He collects the spirit stones and continues 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.

Lei Jun and Luo Haoran recovered more than half of their health after briefly meditating to adjust their breathing.

 Lu Zhaoqing still looks weak.

He has always had a childlike face and a very good-looking appearance as a Taoist priest of the Xian family. At this time, he showed an uncontrollable aging attitude.

“I’m old, I can’t compare to you young people.” Lu Zhaoqing sighed.

Lei Jun and Luo Haoran both said that the rough work would be left to them, and Uncle Lu would just provide guidance.

Although, in theory, 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 decline rapidly, and even fall to the bottom.

Even if the overall level does not decline, the abilities in all aspects cannot maintain the 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, let Lei Jun see for the first time up close and personal, that practitioners will also grow old and weak.

 You should practice and improve 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, your water-repelling 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 repellent 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. 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 making water-avoiding talismans 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.

 In this case, it is almost unheard of to waste a slot on a water-avoiding talisman.

 “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 provide disaster relief and epidemic relief.

 At that time, it was also the summer flood season, and floods disturbed the people.

 “Well, it’s just 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 he didn't even 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 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. We can take precautions in advance if the Dong family is coming."
