Confucius shook his head repeatedly: "Your Majesty said he is my relative, so he is my relative, but if you want me to recognize him, it depends on his own ability.
Your Majesty said that the Yellow Springs Division is led by Yang Jian, so the Jiange Commandery will naturally follow the lead of Daotong."
The Taoist sage smiled and said no more. He was helped by Confucius to the imperial jade chariot and sighed softly.
"The future belongs to you young people. Don't be impatient, don't be impatient..."
Confucius bowed respectfully, his eyes flickering as he watched the chariot gradually disappear from his sight.
Kong Hanan seemed to have appeared out of nowhere and gained cultivation inexplicably.
He had also read the reports about Helue Town in recent years. This scholar clearly had no talent, but where did he get his skills?
Is it really the favor of Hou Tu?
Is it really that there is no intersection with Taoism?
After thinking for a long time, he laughed again.
After staying in the court for a long time, I actually developed these dirty thoughts.
No matter who Kong Hanan is, as long as he works hard, eliminates demons and protects spirits.
Then the establishment of the Huangquan Division, and even the Huangquan Prison in the future, would make sense.
When I get back, I have to check the family tree.
The chariot moved away from the sight of Confucius. The monk driving it respectfully asked, "Teacher, why did you take the initiative to reduce the influence of our Taoist school in the court? Why did we hide those things for Kong Hanan?"
The old man's eyelids were completely closed, and he murmured: "Only by not competing can no one in the world compete with him."
The monk driving the car continued, "So, will Yang Jian agree to the deal he made with Kong Hanan?"
"He has been away from the Daoist sect for a long time, and there is no news about him. Don't you know either?
The underworld is the expectation of heaven and earth. Which god in the sky doesn’t want to have a piece of the pie?
If the Great Emperor Dongyue couldn't withstand this pressure, how could we?
Just give him the Jiange County, and let them fight for the rest."
The old man sighed softly.
The monk driving the car was a little surprised: "Don't we cultivators emphasize non-contention?"
The old man opened his eyes slightly, a gleam of light flashing across his eyes: "Not fighting is to fight better. You must carefully consider the affairs of the court today when you return. Otherwise, how can I be confident in handing over this Taoist tradition to you in the future?"
The monk driving the car was shocked, covered in cold sweat, and said respectfully, "Yes."
Kong Hanan was also sweating profusely. Ever since he took on the job in the underworld, he hadn't had a regular schedule for a long time.
Today, on a whim, he sat in a roadside tea stall under the scorching sun at noon in July to listen to storytelling.
It was a scorching sun, and not only he was sweating, but the coolies at the tea stall were also sweating, and the storyteller was also dancing with sweat all over his body.
"Master Gu shouted, 'Hey, King Shu! I am the City God of the underworld and Helue Town. Do not harm the lives of the people under my rule!' Then, Master Gu sprouted eight heads and sixteen arms, and engaged King Wen of Shu in battle..."
The porter next to Kong Hanan curled his lips in disdain: "How many babies does Mr. Gu have? And how many eggs does that baby have?"
His companion glared at him and said, "The town has been shaking all the time these days. It's probably because Master Gu is fighting that ghost king underground. Don't talk nonsense."
The porter snorted, "It's obviously this storyteller who's talking nonsense. He's exaggerating and trying to attract attention. The government has said that it was Master Gu's actions that moved heaven and earth, and the Ghost King has been sealed."
His companion looked around, pulled out a simple wooden statue of Gu Qiang from his neck, and murmured softly: "Master Gu, please don't blame me..."
Then, he moved closer to the porter and whispered more quietly, "My brother was delivering firewood to the government office. He told me a rumor that the underground vibrations mean that the demon king has not been completely sealed yet, and Master Gu still needs our help."
The porter was shocked: "Then... what should we do?"
The companion said, "We should burn more incense to Master Gu and praise his kindness. Only when Master Gu feels our support can he completely suppress the Ghost King."
If I told him anything else, the porter might not believe it, but when he said that Master Gu was not strong enough, he believed it and nodded repeatedly: "I will go to Master Gu's temple to burn incense tonight."
Gu Qiang sighed beside Kong Hanan: "Why are they all hoping that I can't do it?"
Kong Hanan glanced at his increasingly clear official uniform, smiled, and asked, "Have you sorted out everything?"
Gu Qiang nodded. "We've completely moved Qin Guang City into the underworld, and have also arranged for the Shu Kingdom's undead to expand nearby. They're quite excited, but..."
He glanced at Kong Hanan with care. Seeing that Kong Hanan seemed in a good mood, Gu Qiang whispered, "I've received a lot of prayers recently, all related to earthquakes. Although there haven't been any casualties, there has been some damage to the people's property..."
Kong Hanan waved his hand and said, now that he has money, it’s not a big deal.
"How much money do you need? You can talk to Qin Guang about it. It's fine."
It was the first time that Mr. Gu saw an adult being so easy to talk to, and he was surprised, but since he had achieved his goal, he continued to report.
"Qin Jijiu asked me to report that there have been rumors in the underworld recently. Ghost cultivators claiming to be from the Yinsi have appeared in many places. Even the attitudes of the cattle and horse tribes are somewhat ambiguous. Your Excellency, please take a look..."
The incense on Qin Guang's body has dissipated, and he is now just an ordinary undead, but he and Xu Tong seem to be planning to use the merits gained from the judgment to practice, so it is inconvenient for them to appear in the daytime in the short term.
In addition, Mr. Gu could appear anywhere in Helue Town at any time, so Gu Qiang became the messenger.
Because Niu Dou and Ma Mian were promoted, they were short of subordinates, so they asked Kong Hanan for leave some time ago and planned to return to the tribe to recruit more people. But now it seems that there is another variable.
