The old man's eyes were bright and sharp, and he was full of righteousness and awe-inspiring.
Xu Hongyuan was shocked. Seeing this figure, he knew it was either a great god from heaven or a great Taoist or Buddhist. He quickly bowed and said, "Xu Hongyuan, the Wandering Spiritual Officer of the Great World of Cang Tian, pays homage to the Supreme God. May I ask for His Majesty's name?"
The old man smiled, bowed and returned the greeting, saying, "Confucius."
"Ah!" Xu Hongyuan was shocked. "Master Confucius... no, the Great Sage Teacher! Master Wenxuan! My apologies!"
Confucius glanced into the cave, then smiled and said, "A beautiful woman is hidden in a golden house."
Xu Hongyuan's cheeks flushed, and he simply bowed and said, "I'm so ashamed."
Confucius said: "Food and sex are human nature. It's a very normal thing. Why should you be ashamed?"
"Huh?" Xu Hongyuan looked at Confucius in surprise and said, "Why are your words so different from those of the Confucian scholars in the world? I thought you were going to scold me for being immoral and violating morals..."
Confucius stroked his beard and said with a sigh, "You are talking about Confucianism in the human world, right?"
Xu Hongyuan nodded and said, "Yes."
Confucius shook his head and said, "I cannot understand their knowledge."
"How could that be? Aren't you their ancestor?" Xu Hongyuan said in surprise.
Confucius said, "They worship Master Kong. What relationship do they have with me, Kong Qiu? Don't talk nonsense. I am now temporarily taking over the position of Heavenly Judge. Be careful or I will punish you for slandering the Heavenly Officials."
Xu Hongyuan was stunned. "Temporarily taking on the position of Heavenly Judge? Uh... By the way, why did you come to the Great World of Cangtian?"
Confucius said, "I am following the order of the Great Emperor Hongqing to come to the Great World of Cangtian to investigate the matter of the Chaos Evil God."
"I see!" Xu Hongyuan suddenly understood what he said. As if he had been saved, he hurriedly grabbed Confucius' arm and said, "Master Wenxuan, could you do me a small favor?"
Confucius looked at Xu Hongyuan and asked, "What's the small favor?"
So Xu Hongyuan told Confucius about the Wuli Mountain. The specific situation was very complicated. To put it simply, a group of cultivators from the Great World of Cangtian gathered in Wuli Mountain. These people were from the celestial immortals to the Nascent Soul stage. They were originally cultivators recruited by the six heavenly soldiers in the Northern Territory. These six heavenly soldiers were the six heavenly soldiers who were ambushed and killed by the evil followers with chaotic evil power.
After the deaths of these six Heavenly Soldiers, the cultivators under their command were leaderless, so they gathered together and settled in Wuli Mountain.
Because the six fallen Heavenly Military Governors still owed them the Jade Offerings of more than ten years, they gathered in Wuli Mountain to ask Xu Hongyuan and all the people in Heaven for their Jade Offerings.
Simply put, they are a group of monks who are asking for wages. In fact, there are many other heavenly soldiers and governors in the Northern Territory. Xu Hongyuan once contacted them and asked them to recruit people like Wu Lishan under his command.
Those Heavenly Soldiers' Jiedushi also intended to do so, but because of the "wage arrears" problem of the previous six Jiedushi, these monks temporarily lost their trust in other Heavenly Soldiers' Jiedushi. Seeing that these people were unstable factors, those Heavenly Soldiers' Jiedushi gave up recruiting them, and they would not help the fallen Heavenly Soldiers' Jiedushi to pay off their debts.
So this mess returned to Xu Hongyuan's hands. Xu Hongyuan originally had the Jieyu Jade, after all, his master Cen Biqing was the richest man in the Three Realms.
But most of Xu Hongyuan's Jieyu had been used to help Lan Xin rebuild the Wanhua Sect. The cultivators in Wuli Mountain needed a lot of Jieyu. Xu Hongyuan had already calculated that there were over 5,400 cultivators in Wuli Mountain. Adding 17 years of unpaid salaries, that would require over 10 million Jieyu. Where would Xu Hongyuan find so many Jieyu? Even Zhe Yu couldn't help him with this.
When Xu Hongyuan went to Wuli Mountain three days ago, he found that the cultivators in Wuli Mountain had shown signs of losing control. They told Xu Hongyuan that if he did not pay off the unpaid robbery jades within a month, they would rob those sects in the name of the Heavenly Soldiers Jiedushi.
So Xu Hongyuan was very worried these past two days. If these people really robbed those sects in the name of the Heavenly Soldiers Jiedushi, then he, the Youyi Lingguan, would be in big trouble.
After hearing Xu Hongyuan's story, Confucius was very surprised and asked, "Such a big thing, didn't you report it to the Heavenly Court?"
Xu Hongyuan said with a worried look on his face: "I can't report it. You don't know, this Jiedushi's policy..." Xu Hongyuan explained the Jiedushi's policy to Confucius. Simply put, the monks recruited by these Jiedushi were not in the Heavenly Court's organization at all. The Queen Mother of the West had already made it clear that these people needed to be supported by the Heavenly Soldiers Jiedushi themselves.
Therefore, even if it is reported, the Heavenly Court will not approve the Robbery Jade. In simple terms, the Heavenly Court will not recognize this account.
Confucius looked at the gloomy Xu Hongyuan, smiled, and said, "Then this has nothing to do with you, right? These Heavenly Army Jiedushi are not under your control. Now they are no longer under the Heavenly Army Jiedushi's command. They are powerless immortals. What they do has nothing to do with you. What are you afraid of?"
Xu Hongyuan said, "As the Wandering Spiritual Officer of the Great World of Cang Tian, if I sit back and watch them wreak havoc everywhere, I would be derelict in my duty."
Confucius laughed and said, "So you want my help? But I don't have that many Jieyu."
"You just need to help me appease those monks and let them wait for a while. I will figure out the rest." Xu Hongyuan looked at Confucius and said.
Confucius shook his head and said, "I can't help you with this."
"Why?" Xu Hongyuan was stunned.
