Chapter 108 Hairstyle Problem◇
◎Hair is very important!!!◎
After waiting for a long time, Jiang Ziya, who was seventy years old, finally returned from his studies.
In fact, it wasn't that he had returned from studying, it was simply because Yuanshi felt that he had nothing to teach this disciple who looked even older than himself. Jiang Ziya couldn't learn powerful spells, and as for simple spells...
Use your toes to think about it. How could he, a dignified saint, the honorable Yuanshi Tianzun, use simple spells to teach?
There's a saying circulating among the neighboring Jiejiao sect: There are no unteachable disciples, only teachers who can't teach. But Yuanshi felt that his teaching career had nearly been cut short.
He finally understood why he killed Feixiong with one palm when he first met him. It was simply because he had a premonition that this person was a traitor.
On the other hand, the man, who was nearly 70 years old and had white hair and beard, felt a little inferior staying with the teacher who was only 28 years old all day, so he suggested going down the mountain.
Yuanshi took the opportunity to hand over the List of Gods to him and everything was fine.
Although Jiang Ziya's cultivation level was nothing in Yuanshi's eyes, he was still quite impressive after years of hard practice in the Kunlun Mountains.
Although he had a big beard, he could still be considered to have a youthful appearance. After returning home for a few days, he lived a comfortable life and even got married.
The only worry was that he had to make money to support his family, but this was not a problem as he was soon appointed an official and became a scholar-official.
On the day he was appointed as an official, his sworn brother Song Yiren and his wife Ma set off firecrackers at home to celebrate for him, and they were very happy.
In mid-air, Kong Shuang hid his form and said to Sibu Xiang, who was also hiding beside him, "In this situation, it would be a shame if you didn't acknowledge him."
Sibu Xiang's face was clearly disappointed. He pursed his lips and asked, "How do you recognize me? As his fellow disciple Sibu Xiang or as his good friend Sibu Xiang?"
The identity of being a fellow disciple may not be recognized by Yuanshi now, and the identity of being Feixiong's good friend is a bit embarrassing. What if Jiang Ziya asks him how he died in his previous life?
Could it be that he was going to say that it was his teacher Yuanshi Tianzun who introduced him to him, but the other party looked down on his identity as a wet-born egg and directly killed him with a palm.
Regardless of whether Jiang Ziya could accept it or not, he couldn't accept it anyway!
Kong Shuang asked tentatively again: "Then don't you want to change your identity and get to know him again?" For example, a mount or something?
Sibu Xiang nodded, and Kong Shuang was so scared that he almost covered his mouth with his palm to stop him from speaking his thoughts.
Si Bu Xiang said: "He probably doesn't want to meet me again, but after all, I owe him. I will stay by his side and protect him."
Kong Shuang breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that if Sibu Xiang told him to become Jiang Ziya's mount in order to stay with Jiang Ziya, then he would make him choose between his own life and Jiang Ziya's life, threatening him to give up this idea!
As it turned out, Jiang Ziya was still very lucky.
Because Kong Shuangsan threatened Daji in the palace not to harm living beings, Daji was frightened and did not kill Bigan, deal with Huang Feihu, and persecute the people as in the original book.
Although King Zhou of the Shang Dynasty was licentious and obsessed with beauty, he still had Shang Rong and Bi Gan in the court and Huang Feihu in the military, which was acceptable. Jiang Ziya had never received the task of forging the Zhaixing Tower, so his impression of the Shang Dynasty was also acceptable.
So, on a sunny afternoon, he and Yun Zhongzi, a pair of unfamiliar brothers, finally met.
King Zhou became increasingly obsessed with beauty and gradually ignored the affairs of the court. Many state affairs were decided by Queen Jiang and his ministers.
Taoist Master Yun Zhongzi is deeply favored by the Queen. Unlike another female Taoist master who is elusive, he is considered a big figure in the palace.
Jiang Ziya, who looks old but stupid, is the Taoist priest's junior brother, so a successful career is inevitable for him.
Therefore, although Jiang Ziya was not satisfied with his senior brother who had a very young face, he was very satisfied with his current life. He even liked King Zhou who played hide-and-seek with his concubines all day long and never thought of changing his boss.

On the other side, Kong Shuang received the second letter from Shen Gongbao.
After arriving in Xiqi, Shen Gongbao miraculously discovered that his sturdy figure, which did not look like an immortal among cultivators, was very popular among the human race.
You can tell at a glance that he's strong and is suited for farm work!
The people of Xiqi often make such comments, and Shen Gongbao is very happy about this. When he was in Jiejiao before, only Kong Shuang Niangniang often praised his good figure. He thought that Kong Shuang Niangniang was just comforting him, but he didn't expect that someone really liked his figure.
But Shen Gongbao often had a love-hate relationship with people. Whenever he was praised to the point of being overjoyed, the people would sigh and say, "It's a pity that his hairstyle is not good-looking."
He touched his shiny forehead and fell silent for a while.
His hairstyle was also shaved by Empress Kong Shuang!
She said this hairstyle helps to gain people's trust.
Later, when he saw a group of people with the same hairstyle as him in Xiqi City, he finally understood what Empress Kong Shuang meant by what she said to him.
It turns out that when I'm in a city whose aesthetics are so different from mine, seeing someone with the same style as me can be such a heartwarming experience...
When he saw the group of bald men, he had already gained the trust of Ji Chang, the Duke of Xibo of Xiqi through divination, and was named the Grand Master of Xiqi.
Don't ask why he's the Imperial Master. The answer is that he's destined to this job!
The position of national teacher sounds very charlatan, and actually he is a charlatan, but the status of charlatans is very high nowadays, because the word "Taoist" must be added in front of the title of charlatan.
But suddenly a group of people appeared in the city and wanted to spread some kind of Western religion. They were selling it in the downtown area all day long and talking about all sorts of fantastic things. For a while they attracted a lot of believers. The latest news is that they decided to build a temple in Xiqi to live in.
It looked like a long battle, so some curious people reported this to the Taoist representative of Xiqi, the State Master.
They are trying to steal your family's employees. Are you going to do anything about it?
Shen Gongbao knew that these were the people the Queen wanted him to get close to, so he quickly sent a message to Kong Shuang.
Kong Shuang read the letter quickly and began to reply. He first praised Shen Gongbao, affirmed his work, and encouraged him to keep up the good work. Then he gave him many instructions and finally attached a bottle of medicine.
The reply letter arrived in Shen Gongbao's hands in the blink of an eye. Shen Gongbao read the letter differently from Kong Shuang. He savored every word carefully, fearing that he might have missed something. Finally, his eyes fell on the medicine bottle, and then two lines of tears of emotion slowly flowed from his round, leopard-like eyes.
Empress Kong Shuang was so considerate. Knowing that he missed his lost hair, she specially sent him hair growth pills!
How could there be such a considerate boss in the ancient world?
Shen Gongbao wiped away his tears, took out a small pill from the bottle with trembling hands, and put it carefully into his mouth.
After a moment, a thick head of curly hair appeared on his head. Shen Gongbao touched it and felt it was so good. Then he took out a small mirror that he had treasured for a long time and began to admire his beautiful hair that he had not seen for a long time.
He admired it until dawn. When the first ray of sunlight from the sun fell on the earth, Shen Gongbao thought of Kong Shuang's instructions. His hands began to tremble again. He took out a pair of scissors and cut his hair with determination.
He would continue to take the hair growth pills at night and continue to admire his beautiful face as described by Empress Kong Shuang.
Shen Gongbao suppressed his reluctance, straightened his hat and robes, and went to meet the group of people.
At this time, the group of people were still arguing about the issue of building a temple.
If Kong Shuang were here, he would be able to tell that they were all old acquaintances.
On one side are the Western believers headed by Zhunti, and on the other side are the Asuras headed by Minghe.
Zhunti advocated that temples should be built by hand, brick by brick, just like humans do, so that people can see the down-to-earth charm of their Western religion.
Minghe rolled his eyes and thought to himself that how could a temple that took a year or even several years to build brick by brick be as shocking as a magnificent temple that rose from the ground overnight?
If the people are not allowed to see the power of Western teaching, then what are they going to learn from the West? Will they learn how to build houses?
Zhunti was unable to convince the other party and became angry: "Are you the leader or am I the leader? Who do you listen to?"
In fact, he felt uneasy. His original body was of wood attribute. After reshaping his body, his soul was not particularly compatible with his current body of fire attribute. So, he and his senior brother decided to use this opportunity to become a god and travel in the human world to match his body.
Before leaving, his senior brother was worried about him and sent Minghe to accompany him, and warned him:
"Your brain isn't working well, so you should listen to Styx's advice more often. But Styx isn't always reliable, so you can't just listen to everything. You need to find the right balance!"
Therefore, he was very troubled by this "degree"!
Who knows which degree this is?
Then he looked up and saw a monk with the same hairstyle as his walking towards him.
Perhaps it was because the monk's hairstyle was too familiar, a thought suddenly popped up in Zhunti's mind: Could this be my fugitive disciple from the West who ended up in the East?
This boy deserves to be my disciple!
He was about to speak in surprise when he suddenly saw the Taoist robe on his future apprentice. He couldn't help but sigh:
Alas - my apprentice is good in every way except that his vision is not very good.
As a noble saint, Zhunti was a little reserved for a while and was about to send a disciple to chat with him, but unexpectedly the monk was very enthusiastic and introduced his family name before he could even open his mouth.
"I am Shen Gongbao, a disciple of the Jiejiao sect of the Biyou Palace. My master is the Sage Tongtian. I am currently serving as an official in Xiqi City. I have seen from afar that the immortal powers of all of you Taoist friends are pure and extraordinary, so I came to meet you."
Now Zhunti's soul and body have not yet been completely integrated. Without the pressure from the saint, he would never have imagined that this was a saint.
Upon hearing this, Zhunti's face darkened. He had not expected that Kong Shuang would be one step ahead of him. Seeing that such a suitable candidate for him turned out to be a disciple of Jiejiao, he felt very complicated.
Meanwhile, Minghe, staring at his shiny forehead, felt something was fishy. It looked like Kong Shuang's handiwork, so he asked cautiously, "I've heard that all Jiejiao disciples are free and unrestrained immortals. I've never heard of any serving as officials among the human race?"
Finally, he got the question. Shen Gongbao had been waiting for a long time. After hearing this, he looked at the Styx.
Although Minghe joined the West, he did not shave his head. Keeping his hair was his last bottom line, so he looked extremely handsome.
Kong Shuang once told him that the most handsome man she saw among the bald men was one of her own, and that she could look for him if she had any problems. Since he was one of her own, Shen Gongbao felt relieved. Thinking of Kong Shuang's explanation, he pretended to be unable to speak:
"It's not something I can tell outsiders. I am indeed your disciple, but there is a lady in my sect..." When he said this, he touched his forehead in pain:
"The empress was not at home at first, but later returned to the Green Wandering Palace. When she saw me, she said I was balding. Her eyes hurt, so she banished me from Penglai and refused to let me return to the sect."
As he spoke, he wiped away tears that didn't exist.
As for who the goddess he was calling was, a figure appeared in the minds of Zhunti and Minghe at the same time.
This Shen Gongbao is a disciple of Tongtian. Judging from his generation, there are not many female cultivators that he can address as "Niangniang":
One is Nuwa, the other is the Queen Mother of the West who is known as the first of the female fairies in the ancient times, and the Queen Mother of Heaven Yao Chi can also be counted, but they have little to do with Jiejiao, so there is only one person left - Kong Shuang!
Minghe stared at Shen Gongbao's forehead without blinking, his eyes were obscure and indescribable. Having known Kong Shuang for many years, he naturally knew that what Kong Shuang hated most in his life was baldness, nothing else. Now, in order to gain the trust of Zhunti, he actually shaved the hair of his disciples?
This shows how much sacrifice she made in her heart!
Zhunti touched his forehead and looked at Shen Gongbao. For some reason, he... felt a little guilty.
