Chapter 5 5. Seek good fortune and avoid misfortune again
Lei Jun looked at Wang Guiyuan: Taoist Master...
Wang Guiyuan smiled and said: Junior brother Lei, there is no need to be so polite, just call me your senior brother.
With your character and talent, even if you don't participate in next year's transmission ceremony, you will definitely be able to participate in the next one and go up the mountain to this mansion.
Speaking of which, I was practicing in the Dao Tongyuan and also in the Sixth Branch.
In this way... Lei Jun replied: Please take care of Senior Brother Wang in the future.
Wang Guiyuan handed the letter to Lei Jun and said at the same time: I will come back to Daotong Sixth Academy often to see if you have any difficulties in life or practice, and I will try to help solve them.
Lei Jun thanked Wang Guiyuan first, and then read the letter left by Elder Yuan.
The general meaning is that Elder Yuan has had a preliminary understanding that although Lei Jun's current talent is mediocre, he has more advantages. Not to mention Xu Yuanzhen's thoughts, he alone is willing to form a master-disciple relationship with Lei Jun.
However, it was Xu Yuanzhen and his idea to introduce Lei Jun to his family, but they didn't know Lei Jun's own intention?
It's not that Xu Yuanzhen doesn't want to introduce Lei Jun to her master Tianshi, but that Tianshi is a severe patient in seclusion compared to Elder Yuan. It has been ten years since the last time he was in seclusion.
It is not certain when the Heavenly Master will come out of seclusion, let alone next year's transmission ceremony, whether he will come out of seclusion before the next transmission is still unknown.
So Xu Yuanzhen introduced Lei Jun to Elder Yuan instead.
However, there is a saying that water flows to low places and people go to high places. No matter who enters the Tianshi Mansion, as long as there is a glimmer of hope to become a direct disciple of the Tianshi Master, who would want to just be a disciple of the Tianshi Master's junior brother?
Since Xu Yuanzhen, who introduced Lei Jun to Taoism, did not accept any disciples, it was up to Lei Jun to make his own decision on who to accept as his disciple.
Maybe Lei Jun is willing to wait for the Heavenly Master to come out of seclusion...
After reading the letter, the first thought in Lei Jun's mind was:
According to the normal human world, you have said this, how can others continue to say that they want to worship the Heavenly Master as their teacher? Even if you are pretending, you must immediately bow your head and bow to me. I beg you, the old man, to accept me as a disciple.
but……
Lei Jun looked at the handwriting on the letter and pondered slightly, but did not answer immediately.
Reading the words in the letter, it seemed as if a pair of gentle eyes were looking at him, full of encouragement.
Lei Jun, who has been in this world for quite some time, dares to say that this is not an illusion.
The writings of master practitioners contain emotions and are all-encompassing.
Lei Jun put down the letter and looked up at Wang Guiyuan in front of him.
Wang Guiyuan smiled: Master and I also talked about Junior Brother Lei before he left.
As the old man said, how difficult is it to cultivate Taoism? Only by facing the true meaning in your heart can you move on firmly.
Lei Jun: It makes me laugh, senior brother. I'm actually at a loss now and have no idea at all.
Wang Guiyuan glanced at Lei Jun.
No matter how he looked at it, the tall young man in front of him was someone with his own ideas.
However, Wang Guiyuan didn't say much, he just smiled and shook his head:
Junior Brother Lei was joking. Master once said, you don't have to make a decision in a hurry. Maybe the Heavenly Master will leave seclusion before you join the mission? You might as well talk about it then.
On weekdays, as long as he is not in retreat on the mountain, if you have any questions during practice, you can ask him except asking the Taotong Academy for guidance.
Now that Master is not on the mountain, you can come to me. I may not be as knowledgeable as Master, but I will try my best to help you answer the question.
Lei Jun: Thank you elder and senior brother in advance.
The ball of light in his mind was not moving at the moment, and no sign indicating his destiny was popping up.
It seems to indicate that Elder Yuan and Wang Guiyuan are sincere in their words and will not disadvantage Lei Jun just because he wants to climb the heights of Tianshi.
Maybe Elder Yuan didn't actually want to accept him as his disciple, but it was just because of Xu Yuanzhen's face.
Or, the time has not yet come, and we have to wait until the day of delivering the message is approaching?
In the following time, Lei Jun asked Wang Guiyuan for advice when he had questions, and the other party really gave him careful guidance.
Rather than being distracted by the teachings of other Taoist boys, Wang Guiyuan basically gave him one-on-one tutoring lessons.
With a good teacher and the essence of Purple Gold Ganoderma to supply his vitality, Lei Jun continued to rapidly improve his cultivation level, cultivated the eighth sea of qi, and successfully broke through to the eighth level of qi refining.
As time goes by, and it has been nearly a year since he started, Lei Jun has gradually passed the initial stage where everything he saw was new.
The repetitive homework and practice every day gradually began to make people feel a little boring.
But after the period of psychological dryness slowly passed, Lei Jun began to truly capture and experience some of the Tao Yun, peace and leisure.
Until one day, this leisurely feeling was suddenly broken.
Daotongyuan was stolen!
When the news came, Lei Jun and others had just finished their evening classes.
The courtyard soon became chaotic.
What's the situation? What's the situation? Who is who?
I heard that someone from the Second Branch stole something from the First Branch. We have identified who it is and are arresting him now.
Have you caught anyone?
Not yet. He said he ran into the forest.
Soon an instructor came to gather everyone and officially announced: Tonight everyone will have one more experience, cooperate to search the mountain, prepare quickly, and set off as soon as possible!
Although the incident also alarmed the Tianshi Mansion on the mountain, in the end it was Tao Tong Yuan who was mainly responsible for handling it.
Many Taoist boys from several major branches took action, divided into teams and went into the mountains, set up traps and cast nets, as if hunting, to round them up.
Lei Jun's team, led by two true disciples of Tianshi Mansion and twenty Taoist boys, guarded key positions in the Beishan area, monitored the surrounding area, and searched from a distance.
One of the young Taoist priests was only fourteen or five years old, similar to most Taoist boys.
But Lei Jun, a 19-year-old Taoist boy who has only been a member for one year, and other junior Taoist boys have to listen to each other's orders and be directed by the other party.
It would be better if we don't encounter similar incidents. If we do, the gap between Taoist priests and Taoist boys will be particularly obvious. We still need to improve our cultivation as soon as possible and participate in the transmission... Lei Jun thought to himself.
Search and interception has been fruitless.
The two true disciples of Tianshi Mansion who led the team had differences of opinion.
The young Taoist priest waved his hand: There is no way to stay here. Let's search northeast or northwest!
Another young Taoist priest said: Junior brother, our duty is to guard this area and not to leave our post without authorization.
Young Taoist priest: Just divide the troops into two groups. Each of you and I will lead a small team. One team will continue to hold the position, and the other team will search the side!
Lei Jun and other Taoist boys were waiting quietly nearby.
But suddenly a light flashed in Lei Jun's mind.
The ball of light, which had been motionless for some time, now had words appearing:
[Chasing the thief, there is another hidden agenda, separate operations, life or death depends on fate. 】
Then three sticks flew out of the ball of light, each with fortune written on them:
[Winning the lottery, participating in the proactive pursuit, moving forward without causing any problems, getting a sixth-grade opportunity, good luck. 】
[Winning the lottery, staying where you are, not fighting, waiting for the storm to subside, nothing gained, nothing lost, peace. 】
[Place a sign to take part in an active pursuit, change the target midway, and be trapped in a killing situation. It is a serious crime! 】
