Kong Hanan discovered that among the many powerful beings and gods he had come into contact with, the Witch God, although his actions were unpredictable, was actually the easiest to guess.
Although there are many twists and turns in the Taoist gods, including Hengshan, as long as there is enough information, we can make some judgments.
But Confucius...
Even though he knew he was being used, he had to continue doing it.
Just like before at the top of Hengshan Mountain, he knew that he had become the "knife" in the hands of Confucius, but he still had to kill Hengshan and worship Daosheng as his teacher.
Now, he guessed that Confucius was using him, but he still had to deal with the plague.
There are gods in Hengshan, and even if there were gods in the past, ghosts cannot be born overnight. When entering the human world, Kong Hanan is still on the top of Hengshan.
Perhaps the lingering aura of Emperor Yan Ting that had leaked previously had made this place feel somewhat gloomy.
The sky was already turning white, and Meng Yu had already driven the ox cart back.
The Taoist Saint and the Confucian Saint had left long ago, and the Heavenly Soul might have gone to control the flood. Only Meng Yu and Qiao Daoling who was brought back were left here.
Brother Meng was chatting with Qiao Daoling with a smile. When he saw Kong Hanan coming out of the underworld, Meng Yu casually bowed.
"Xiao Kong, Brother Daoling is really good."
Qiao Daoling was rather reserved and bowed, saying, "Greetings, Lord."
On second thought, this is not the underworld, so calling him the Lord of the Underworld is not right. He wanted to change his words, but he didn't know what title to use.
Meng Yu noticed his embarrassment and said, "Teacher has appointed him as the warden of Huangquan Prison. You can call him Warden Kong."
Kong Hanan shook his head repeatedly: "No, no, no, things haven't been decided yet, don't call me the supervisor."
The Huangquan Division governs a county, and the Huangquan Prison governs the entire Da Qi. Kong Hanan has met a lot of saints during this period, and feels that it is better for him not to stand out too much for the time being.
Besides, being a supervisor is unlucky... He might die at any time.
Without giving Qiao Daoling a chance to continue struggling, Kong Hanan turned and asked.
"Brother Meng didn't accompany uncle?"
Meng Yu said with a smile, "Teacher asked me to accompany you to deal with the plague in Nanjun, and then go with you to Shangjun to assist in investigating the problems of the scholars in Shangjun and Beidi County."
Kong Hanan narrowed his eyes.
I had suspected before that this was a plan by Confucius. Now that Meng Yu was staying here, was he helping or just monitoring?
But Kong Hanan still bowed to Meng Yu.
"How dare I trouble the saint's carriage? Thank you for your hard work, Brother Meng."
Meng Yu winked at Kong Hanan and said, "Brother Kong, I think you have the potential to be canonized as a saint."
His expression was very funny, not at all like the serious and solemn gentleman of Confucianism, which made Kong Hanan laugh.
Are you kidding me? Am I worthy of canonization? Which of Confucius and Taoist saints doesn't have a heart as deep as the sea?
Let’s praise each other for business.
Kong Hanan smiled and replied, "Brother Meng, I think you are also worthy of being canonized as a saint."
Meng Yu chuckled, but didn't refuse. He pointed to the oxcart road and said, "Get in the car. We're going to Wancheng, where the plague is most severe."
Qiao Daoling and Kong Hanan sat down and the ox cart started.
This time, Meng Yu drove steadily and did not speed again.
Kong Hanan glanced at Qiao Daoling.
"Is your problem solved?"
Qiao Daoling smiled bitterly.
"The previous generals of the Netherworld were all dominated by Yin energy, and the spiritual materials they had in stock were mostly Yin objects. However, Immortal Yang Lin gave me some help. I was able to summon some Yang energy from him through the divine summoning talisman... but it was only a temporary solution, not a cure."
Kong Hanan's expression turned strange.
In the future, when Qiao Daoling has sex, he will stick a talisman on himself.
Tsk, the picture is too beautiful, I dare not look at it.
No wonder Qiao Daoling had a wry smile on his face.
He turned into a pure yin body because of Kong Hanan's negligence. What's more, he is now registered in the underworld. Kong Hanan couldn't smile and had to change the subject awkwardly.
"By the way, the Sage Kong originally intended to name you Qiao Ba, but it was the Sage Dao who gave you the name Dao Ling."
Qiao Daoling played with the hair at his temples with his fingers and spoke with his head down.
"Actually, I think Chopper is not bad either. If you don't mind, you can call me Chopper."
The feminine tone and movements, so delicate and beautiful, gave Kong Hanan goosebumps.
He casually pulled out a talisman from Yang Lin and slapped it on him.
"Be normal, you are a man."
Qiao Daoling's eyes were filled with tears: "Master, it turns out you still remember that I am a man."
Kong Hanan covered his face with his hands. This was enough.
Fortunately, the wooden ox cart was fast and stopped soon. Meng Yu opened the door, easing Kong Hanan's embarrassment.
"Brother Kong, this is Wancheng, the seat of Nanjun. It's also where the plague originated and is currently the worst-hit area."
The car door opened and Kong Hanan and Qiao Daoling got out.
As the seat of Nanjun, it is very prosperous wherever you look.
There are three-story buildings on both sides, and four- or five-story houses are also common.
You know, in Helue Town where Kong Hanan lived before, the only building with more than two floors was Yicui Pavilion and the other was in Mr. Gu's house.
Yaoshan Town, known as the most prosperous city in Jiange County, has only three-story buildings at its tallest.
Kong Hanan had never been to Jiange Town, the seat of Jiange County. Instead, the first time he entered a seat in his life was in Wancheng, across the county.
Although Wancheng is prosperous, most of the houses within sight have their doors and windows closed, while some are open.
It was early in the morning, and some poor souls should be running around, but the streets were almost deserted.
Occasionally, some people would drag a cart covered with white cloth, using the cloth to cover their mouths and noses, and be sent to the south of the city.
Kong Hanan now has good eyesight. Looking towards the south, there is a flame rising into the sky, and half of the sky is covered by burning ashes and debris.
Kong Hanan looked behind him and saw the city gate was wide open with no one guarding it.
Meng Yu introduced it at the right time.
"After the plague broke out in Wancheng, the governor, lieutenant, and county magistrate were all evacuated. The Holy Lord Confucius issued an order to seal off the city. Although the city gates were unmanned, all the surrounding roads were controlled by the military. The south of the city was a crematorium."
Are all the officials away?
Kong Hanan felt a little uncomfortable. Perhaps in this era, their lives were more precious than those of ordinary people.
"How are the people in the city?"
Meng Yu said seriously, "Nine out of ten houses are empty. Most of them died from the plague."
He pointed to the houses with open doors.
"Most of these are houses where the owners have passed away. Let's go in and take a look."
Kong Hanan readily followed suit and asked as they walked, "Do you know where the plague came from?"
Meng Yu shook his head. "I don't know yet. When the cultivators of the Hengshan lineage in Nanjun died suddenly, a plague broke out in Wancheng at the same time."
Kong Hanan asked again: "How far is this place from Hengshan?"
Meng Yu glanced at Kong Hanan and replied, "Not really close, probably a few thousand miles."
Walking into the room, it was a small house on the third floor. The room was in a mess and the valuables had been moved away long ago.
Kong Hanan, Meng Yu and Qiao Daoling each went to a floor and searched separately to see if there was anything valuable.
Kong Hanan is on the second floor.
Judging from the decoration, the second floor looks more like a place for receiving guests.
Kong Hanan summoned the Five Strange Ghosts and Li Mihai, but before he could give any orders, he heard Qiao Daoling's exclamation from the third floor.
