There is room for improvement in what Kong Hanan said.
Who hasn't been through an interview? This is standard HR manager jargon.
No matter how hard the job seekers try, the HR manager simply gives an enigmatic smile, nods, and sends them home to wait for further notice.
To put it bluntly, it was just a little trick played by Kong Hanan because he was unsure about the relationship between Pingxin and Houtu.
But Pingxin's first sentence almost made Kong Hanan lose his seat.
"I know what the Lord wants most right now. I can help you recover the copies of the Book of Life and Death."
Pingxin is worthy of her name.
To be fair...
What does Kong Hanan want most in the underworld right now?
Land? Don’t worry, you can take it step by step.
Subordinates? Quite a few, and their number is increasing as the undead enter.
What he wanted most now were indeed the volumes of the Book of Life and Death that were scattered among the various factions.
As the saying goes, I won't allow others to snore beside my bed.
Kong Hanan could unify the underworld later, but he would not tolerate any other voices in the underworld.
The Great Qi unified the world, but it was not as good as the Qin and Han dynasties in Kong Han'an's previous life when there were many counties and prefectures, and the vast territory was divided into fourteen counties.
They are the three counties of Jingji (pronounced ji): Langya, Julu and Handan.
The five northern counties: Shangjun, Beidi, Yanmen, Beiping, and Liaodong.
The three southern counties: Han County, Nan County, and Huaiyang County.
Donghai County and Nanhai County, which are close to the sea.
Jiange County on the southwestern border.
At present, Kong Hanan has the life and death books of five counties: Jiange County, Han County, Shang County, Nan County, and Donghai County.
Not even halfway.
There are four more people in the Ligeng tribe whose whereabouts are completely known.
The ghost cultivator in charge of the Huaiyang County Book of Life and Death is from the Yeqi clan, and troops from the underworld have already gone to arrest him.
The life and death books of Nanhai County, Liaodong County, and Beiping County are in the hands of the Shura clan.
Among them, Nanhai County, like Luliang, also surrendered to Shura Wu and was just waiting to be slaughtered.
But there are five others whose whereabouts are unknown and there is no news.
What worries Kong Hanan the most is the Book of Life and Death in Beidi County, which is currently missing.
In Beidi County, there are suspected wizards from the Witch God Temple who have done bad things in the name of the underworld.
Li You, a merchant from the underworld, was ordered to go and look for Zhong Kui, but he encountered danger. Hei Wuchang was also ordered to go, but he has not returned yet.
Zhou Kumen, one of the five thieves, was also summoned. The five thieves had a special connection with each other and they only felt that the other party was in danger and was always on the move.
Bai Wuchang, the captain of Shangjun in the underworld, has not been with Kong Hanan during this period, so he is stationed in Shangjun. In addition to preparing and arranging the city god, he also intends to support Beidi County at any time.
If the Book of Life and Death of Beidi County is obtained and the City God sets it up, the troops of the underworld will be ready for battle at any time. There is no need for such trouble.
Now, this girl Pingxin said that she could help Kong Hanan retrieve the Book of Life and Death?!
That's great.
Kong Hanan didn't doubt the other party's words at all.
Because the Book of Life and Death, in this world, was made by the Goddess Hou Tu using the branches and leaves of the Green Lotus of Creation and given to the Emperor Dong Yue.
The relationship between Hou Tu and Ping Xin is unclear, but considering that Ping Xin just granted him the jade seal on behalf of Hou Tu, she might also be able to manipulate the Book of Life and Death.
The suspicious Kong Hanan subconsciously asked, "Really?"
Pingxin smiled in an unfathomable way.
"When the time comes, you will know after you give it a try."
This smile seemed familiar, very much like the damn smile that the HR representative gave Kong Hanan during his interview in his previous life.
Well, the roles are reversed...
Can I still be controlled by a girl like you?
Kong Hanan gathered his thoughts.
"What else can the girl do?"
Pingxin continued with a smile.
"Your Majesty has many subordinates in the Underworld. I'm afraid there are conflicts among them. I can mediate for you."
"By the way, there are many cultivation techniques within my temple that may allow your subordinates to perfect their cultivation. There is a possibility of further advancement."
These words really touched Kong Hanan's heart.
The many demons in the underworld are not in harmony with each other. Each tribe has its own strengths and weaknesses, and the law of the jungle is inevitable.
There are also conflicts between the human undead and the various tribes in the underworld. After all, demons also want to eat human souls.
There are also troubles among the human undead.
They need to practice and also eat souls.
Although the Dark Moon has risen, purifying the Yin energy of the underworld...
There are merits such as the underworld arresting souls and sending them to judgment to make up for it, so that they can speed up their cultivation...
There are many captains and generals suppressing them, making their contradictions less obvious...
But Kong Hanan has actually always been worried that problems might arise within the underworld.
A strong fortress often begins to collapse from the inside, and Kong Hanan knows this very well.
He has been diverting conflicts by expanding wars abroad, but this does not mean that conflicts can be eliminated.
The underworld is like a chestnut in fire; you never know when it will be roasted and explode.
What's more, Kong Hanan will have to compete with gods and Buddhas in the future, so it is inevitable that the strength of the underworld will be improved.
Ping Xinzui, as the priest of the Hou Tu Niangniang Temple, does have the prestige to mediate conflicts among various ethnic groups.
If it is true as she said, there is a better method, that would be great.
Kong Hanan sighed. He had to admit that Miss Pingxin was indeed very aware of the problems in the underworld.
"If the girl wants to enter the underworld, what position do you want?"
Pingxin still smiled.
"Your Majesty, don't worry about me sharing power with you. Don't you have a female ghost Meng Wan and a female ghost Meng Yong under your command?"
"What a coincidence! My last name is Meng too. I'd like to keep them company, doing some needlework and brewing some medicine by the River Styx. I'm very interested in Meng Wan's memory-erasing medicine."
