Chapter 2444 Lei Zhenzi goes down the mountain, and heroes come to Li Tang’s aid
Chapter 2440: Lei Zhenzi goes down the mountain, and heroes come to Li Tang’s aid
Kunlun has many titles such as the First Sacred Mountain, the Mountain of Ten Thousand Ancestors, and the Ancestor of the Dragon Veins. It is also the retreat place of the Taoist Sanqing Taoists.
Master Taiqing hid in Shouyang Peak and lived in Bajing Palace.
Taoist Yuqing hid in Yuxu Peak and lived in Yuxu Palace.
The Taoist priests of the Shangqing Dynasty hid in Jin'ao Peak and lived in Biyou Palace.
At this time, in a courtyard on Yuxu Peak, a young man was working hard to practice the stick technique.
The "Yu Xu Wind and Thunder Stick Technique" he practiced was obviously an orthodox Taoist secret, and it should be upright and awe-inspiring, but when he used it, it was full of murderous intent, as if he was a big devil who kills without blinking an eye.
After a set of stick dances, the hatred in the young man's eyes was still there, and he gritted his teeth and said to himself: "Master, my disciple was not strong enough before, and the master did not allow his disciple to go down the mountain to avenge you. Now my disciple is strong enough, even if it is The Grand Master is no match for the disciple, so why does the master still not allow the disciple to go down the mountain?"
This person is none other than Yun Zhongzi’s only disciple, Lei Zhenzi.
Lei Zhenzi was the son of Ji (Ji) Chang, the prefect of Longxi in the Li Tang Dynasty. His real name was Ji Lei. When he was young, he became a disciple of Yun Zhongzi, a Taoist from Yuqing. He later took the Taoist name Lei Zhenzi.
Lei Zhenzi was raised by Yun Zhongzi since he was a child. The two were called master and apprentice, but their relationship was better than that of father and son. However, Yun Zhongzi died at the hands of Qin's great master A Qing during the Luoyang Coup.
The tragic death of his mentor, moreover at the hands of a woman, made Lei Zhenzi full of resentment towards Da Qin, and he vowed to avenge his mentor.
Driven by hatred, Lei Zhenzi has made rapid progress in recent years, perfected his stick skills, and increased his internal and external skills. However, hatred has also distorted his will, turning the originally sunny and kind-hearted person into a silent and vicious person.
Just when he thought he was strong enough and was about to go down the mountain to avenge his master, he was stopped by his ancestor, Taoist Yuqing.
Taoist Yuqing was also doing good for Lei Zhenzi. He did not want Lei Zhenzi to go down the mountain to seek revenge against Da Qin with full of hatred.
Hatred has blinded Lei Zhenzi's eyes and made him lose his mind. If he just went down the mountain like this, it would be no different from seeking death.
It was based on this consideration that Taoist Yuqing did not allow Lei Zhenzi, his disciple, to go down the mountain.
But Lei Zhenzi did not understand Taoist Yuqing's painstaking efforts. He only thought that he was not strong enough, so he refused to let himself go down the mountain. He did not realize that he had been blinded by hatred.
Although Lei Zhenzi was dissatisfied with his master for not letting him go down the mountain to take revenge, he did not dare to disobey his master and secretly go down the mountain. He could only turn this dissatisfaction into the hatred of Da Qin and spur him to practice hard.
Not long after Lei Zhenzi finished practicing, Yang Ren walked into the courtyard carrying a food box. After seeing Lei Zhenzi who was sweating profusely, he smiled and said: "Junior brother, senior brother, I have brought you food again."
Lei Zhenzi nodded at him, took the food box and took out the food, and started eating without any intention of thanking him.
Yang Ren looked at Lei Zhenzi, who was eating without saying a word, and sighed in his heart that hatred can really change a person. The sunny and cheerful junior brother he once had will never come back.
This Yang Ren is not ordinary. Although he is the conferred **** Yang Ren, he is a fusion character who was implanted into Yang Ren in the late Han Dynasty.
Yang Ren was originally a civil servant of the Yin Shang Dynasty. He had his eyes gouged out by King Zhou because he advised him to dissuade King Zhou from building Lutai. He was accepted as a disciple by King Qingxu Daodezhen.
After Yang Ren came down from the mountain under the orders of his master, he repeatedly behaved and killed (slapped to death): Fang Yizhen, Li Ping, Chen Geng, Lu Yue, Yu Xian, Yu Zhao, a total of six people. Unfortunately, they were not lucky enough to die. When fighting the Seven Monsters of Meishan, he was beaten to death by Yuan Hong's soul with a stick out of his body. He could not escape the fate of being famous on the list of gods, and was awarded the title of "Jia Zi Tai Sui".
It can be seen from this that if Yang Ren was born directly during the Conferred God Period, his two attributes of force and politics should be very high.
At the end of the Han Dynasty, Yang Ren was completely different. He was the number one general under Zhang Lu. Zhang Lun was able to occupy Hanzhong for nearly thirty years. He had great attacks, but was eventually killed by Xia Houyuan with a dragging knife.
It can be seen from this that the military force and intelligence attributes of Yang Ren's commander in the late Han Dynasty should not be too low.
After the fusion of the two Yang Rens, they have the advantages of both people, so the current Yang Ren's abilities are very balanced, with high values in all aspects.
Among the young generation of the Yuqing sect, Yang Jian is naturally the strongest in terms of military force, but in terms of intelligence, even Yang Jian is inferior to Yang Ren.
Therefore, Taoist Yuqing also valued Yang Ren very much and entrusted him with all the affairs of the sect. Therefore, in the absence of Yang Jian, Yang Ren was the leader among the young disciples of Yuqing.
“Junior brother, senior brother is going down the mountain. After today, someone else will come to bring you food.”
Hearing Yang Ren's words, Lei Zhenzi stopped his chopsticks and asked, "Brother, why did you come down the mountain?"
“Junior brother, don’t you know? It’s because the Qin and Tang Dynasties are at war again.
Da Qin made a surprise attack and broke through Sanguan. Now Li and Tang's hundreds of thousands of troops, including Tang Gong, were all trapped and died in the pass, and they were in danger. "
After hearing what Yang Ren said, Lei Zhenzi stood up directly and said with shock on his face: "Sanguan fell?"
"That's right, Master Taishang got the news from somewhere, and then issued an order to aid Tang, asking my young Taoist disciples to go down the mountain to help Li Tang and gain some experience."
Yang Ren was very disgusted with the matter of aiding the Tang Dynasty.
The unification of the Qin Dynasty has been completed, but Li Tang has been extremely weak, and now it is trapped and dead in Guanzhong.
In this case, why should Taoist disciples be allowed to aid the Tang Dynasty?
What kind of experience is this? It was simply asking them to die.
Can Da Qin be easy to deal with? Even the strongest senior brother Yang Jian was defeated by Li Cunxiao. What was the use of their disciples in the past?
Therefore, many Taoist disciples were very resistant to the idea of aiding the Tang Dynasty. Even Taoist priest Yuqing firmly opposed it and went to Bajing Palace to dissuade him. Yang Ren didn't know what Yuqing's persuasion was. Not only did he fail to persuade him, but he was persuaded by the other party. After he came out, he asked Yuqing's disciples to help Tang.
Now, no matter how reluctant Yang Ren was, he had no choice but to go down the mountain to aid the Tang Dynasty. After all, the order of the master could not be violated. If he violated it, it would be basically equivalent to betraying the master, and he would be punished by everyone in the world. scorned.
Lei Zhenzi's face became extremely ugly. His father and family all worked for Li Tang, so naturally he also loved Li Shimin.
In his heart, whatever Li Shimin did was right. On the other hand, Ying Hao's Qin Dynasty, no matter how many good things he did, was often ulterior and ambitious.
Now Li Shimin is trapped in the pass and is in danger, and Li Tang is about to enter the brink of national subjugation. This naturally makes him anxious and wants to fly directly to Chang'an.
But the master's ban has not been lifted yet, and he has told everyone, but not him. This clearly shows that he does not want him to go down the mountain.
“Brother, who are the brothers who are coming down the mountain this time?” Lei Zhenzi asked.
“In addition to being brothers, fellow juniors such as Wei Hu, Xue Ehu, Han Dulong, Tu Xingsun, etc. will also go down the mountain to help Li Tang.
By the way, among the people coming down the mountain from the Taiqing lineage, your second brother Ji (Ji) Fa and several of your other brothers will also go down the mountain together. "
Lei Zhenzi was still implanted as the son of Ji Chang, and Ji Chang's implanted identity was both the governor of Longxi and a disciple of the Taiqing sect of Taoism.
Because of Ji Chang, Lei Zhenzi was able to worship Yuqing when he was young. Then Ji Fa and other brothers could naturally worship Yuqing or Taiqing.
“Damn it, why doesn’t Master just let me go?”
Lei Zhenzi was very puzzled by this. In anger, he punched the stone pier next to him and smashed it into pieces.
Seeing this, Yang Ren comforted him and said, "Junior brother, your obsession must be too deep, and you have already given birth to inner demons. Before the inner demons are eliminated, Master is worried that you will go down the mountain, so I didn't tell you."
It's okay that Yang Ren didn't mention it. When he mentioned this, Lei Zhenzi was completely furious and roared: "I don't have any inner demons. I just want to avenge my master. What's wrong with this?"
As for mentally ill people, they never think that they are mentally ill. Even if a martial artist really has inner demons, they will never admit it.
Inner demons are obsessions, and if obsessions were let go so easily, inner demons would not be born.
Looking at Lei Zhenzi, whose eyes were red, his fists were clenched, and the energy all over his body was faintly red, Yang Ren did not dare to speak anymore, for fear that if he said the wrong thing, he would lose his mind and attack him.
Although Yang Ren's strength is not weak, he is not a pure warrior. The literary way has diverted a lot of energy from him, so there is obviously still a certain gap between him and a pure warrior like Lei Zhenzi. If they really fight, he will definitely not be his opponent. .
Lei Zhenzi also realized that he had lost his composure. After taking a deep breath, he suppressed the hatred in his heart and said to Yang Ren with an apologetic expression: "Brother, I'm sorry. Junior brother, I lost my temper."
The contrast between the front and back is so great that he hardly looks like the same person.
Seeing this, Yang Ren sighed and said, "Junior brother, are you okay..."
Before he finished speaking, Lei Zhenzi said: "I'm going to ask the master for instructions. I also want to go down the mountain with all the brothers."
“Alas, junior brother, you...”
Seeing that Lei Zhenzi was going in the opposite direction of Yuxu Palace, Yang Ren knew that he was probably going to go down the mountain privately, and he would definitely not ask his master for instructions anyway.
Yang Ren was naturally very anxious about this, but he could not stop Lei Zhenzi alone, so he could only go back and report it first.
After learning that Lei Zhenzi went down the mountain privately, Taoist Yuqing not only did not get angry, but was very calm, as if he had expected it and had no intention of pursuing him.
“Yang Ren, are your brothers and sisters dissatisfied with the matter of going down the mountain to aid the Tang Dynasty?” Taoist Yuqing asked indifferently.
“No, I dare not.”
Yang Ren said with some stuttering. Even though he was already the second person in the third generation, he was still in awe of his master.
“Don’t dare? That means you have it?”
“No, absolutely not.”
Yang Ren quickly denied it.
“Yang Ren, what can the juniors like you see, can’t the master see it? You are the future of my Taoist family, how can the master let you die?”
Hearing this, Yang Ren was completely confused and asked in confusion: "Master, this disciple doesn't quite understand."
“You don’t need to understand, just tell Yang Jian that everything should be done with your heart. Remember, this is related to the survival of Taoism and my Yuqing lineage.”
“This…disciple obeys the command.”
After watching Yang Ren leave, Taoist Yuqing raised his head and looked at the starry sky, his eyes filled with deep color, and after a long time, a hint of unbearability flashed through.
With nearly full level astrology, he saw some bad things from the celestial phenomena, but this was completely within his expectation.
At the same time, some Taoist disciples scattered in various places also received the flying pigeon message from Kunlun, including Jiang Shang and Shen Gongbao.
