Hou Gang became the uncle officially canonized by the emperor. What surprised him was that he was promoted to the first-class title, from the third-class uncle to the second-class uncle. The reason was that he helped Danzhu establish a throne in Jiuli.
Great achievement.
This kind of title promotion belongs only to Hou Gang himself and cannot be inherited hereditary. Hou Gang's future heirs will still have to start from the third-class uncle, but it is already rare.
It is very difficult to be promoted to the title of Bojun. For example, the Jiqiu family has been conferred the title for decades and is still a fifth-class Bojun. Although Hou Gang has made great achievements in the land of Jiuli, his qualifications for promotion are also very difficult.
Reluctantly, the emperor was particularly merciful.
Who meant this? Is there some ulterior motive behind this? Which force showed the intention to win over him? Hou Gang just pretended not to know, thanked the emperor for his kindness and accepted it calmly. When Lu Zhang set off from the imperial capital, he did not know about Hou Gang.
What happened after returning home, so he did not receive the emperor's authorization and had no right to appoint a new city lord. However, on behalf of the emperor, he could announce Hou Shiji as the temporary city lord.
After Hougang returned to the city from his ancestral home, he became the second-class uncle of the Chinese Empire, and Hou Shiji also confirmed his status as the temporary city lord. In the city lord's palace, Hougang met the monks who came on behalf of Lianghuachuan.
Cool yellow.
Not to mention that the murderous intention in Lianghuang's heart has disappeared. Even if he still has murderous intention towards Hou Gang, he does not dare to act rashly at this moment, because there are still two masters in transformation realm, Taiyi and Lu Zhang, sitting in the hall. Especially Lu Zhang,
He didn't hide his cultivation aura at all, giving him a cold and yellow feeling, as if the messenger could kill him with just one glance, so how could he dare to move?
In the eyes of ordinary people, Lianghuang may have been regarded as an expert of the Xian family, but in front of Lu Zhang, the Li Zheng Palace ritual officer and the monk in the transformation realm, he may not even be considered a dish. On such an occasion, Lu Zhang does not have to pretend
Rhetoric.
Revenge was impossible, so Lianghuang had no choice but to respectfully pay homage to Mr. Bojun, carefully explained his purpose of visit, and asked about the inside story of Liang Jineng's death. There was no inside story about this matter, but Hou Gang was not rude.
, told what happened in detail, and sighed with emotion.
Since Lianghuang came here on behalf of the sect in name only, he also had two other missions. The first was to find out how Liang Jineng was captured by mistake. There was no need to ask anymore at this moment. He saw a high-level Hua Jing person beside Hou Gang.
Ren Taiyi is in charge. The second one is the Lianghua Suspended Artifact that he wants to find back to Huachuan. It was originally carried by Liang Ji, but it is an inheritance of the sect.
Such artifacts inherited by the sect, such as Chiwangqiu's flying boat, after the monks in the sect obtain it, they can only use it but cannot keep it permanently, let alone pass it on to others without authorization. After its death, it must still be returned to the sect for disposal.
Liang Jineng died unexpectedly, so Lianghuachuan wanted to find this artifact. For others, if they didn't inherit the Immortal Soul Imprint, just getting the Lianghua Cord would be useless.
Lianghuang made this request without confidence. Before Hou Gang could speak, Lu Zhang stared at the case and said, "Liang Jineng's death is his own fault! Lord Hou Gang is generous in not pursuing Lianghuachuan Sect for this."
.If Lianghuachuan wants to recover the sect’s inherited artifact, the sect leader should personally come to apologize and give adequate compensation.
How could I send only a disciple like you to ask for the artifact before even the deacons and elders of the sect arrived? Even if Lianghua is asked for from you, will you be able to take it away with your cultivation? What if in the middle of nowhere?
The Tao was robbed, killed, and taken away. Are we going to frame the Hougang family for this and send someone to come to question him?"
In fact, Lianghuang regretted the words as soon as he spoke them. At this moment, he was scolded by Lu Zhang and became speechless. With only four realms of cultivation, even if he received the Immortal Family's brand inheritance, he could not integrate Lianghua Suo into the form and spirit. Lianghua
The usual shape of the rope is a soft rope that is two inches thick and seven feet long. Even if it is wrapped around the waist, it is still a big circle. Is he going to carry it back like this?
What Lu Zhang just said was right. If someone with ill intentions robbed and killed him on the way and took away this artifact, could Lianghuachuan continue to frame the Hougang clan and cause trouble for Hougang again? Liangji
Hougang doesn't have to pursue Lianghuachuan's case if he can, but if Lianghuachuan wants to recover the artifact, he has to come to apologize and give compensation, and he has to send a senior person with enough weight.
Seeing that Lianghuang Nuonuo couldn't answer, Taiyi spoke again: "Liang Ji was not killed by us, but because he felt shameless and committed suicide. But he was captured by me, and Lianghua Suo fell.
It is in my hands. I am not greedy, and this artifact is of no use to me. If Lianghuachuan wants to find it, he should do what Lord Lu Zhang just said.
There is no need for the leader of your sect and the elders to come to Jiancheng. I heard that the scenery around Lianghua River is very good. In the near future, Mr. Hougang and I will accompany Mr. Lu Zhang there to enjoy it. If the leader of your sect is interested in taking back the artifact,
Let’s meet there. Please take the words back and ask your sect leader and the elders what they mean by sending you here today, and what are your plans for the future?”
…
Half a month later, a group of five people appeared on the south bank of the river. It was Huwa, Hou Gang, Taiyi, Jigu and Lu Zhang. They all changed into casual clothes and there were no ceremonial entourages around them. These five are all experts.
Even if Jigu's cultivation is weak, he is still a fifth-level demon cultivator and cannot be ignored anywhere, and Hougang's cultivation has broken through to the seventh level.
When and how did Hou Gang break through the barriers? In fact, everything was very natural. He did not hide in a safe place to spend time in seclusion. It happened while handling all the affairs of the clan properly, as if it was a matter of course.
Nowadays, the Hougang clan has no internal disputes, and the friction with the Jiqiu clan has been resolved. The Yushui River that was cut off in the upper reaches has returned to normal. Hou Shiji has officially taken office as the city lord. The bridge outside the north gate of Yucheng has also been repaired. The tribesmen are now working.
Busy with spring plowing.
From the time when Hou Gang returned to his ancestral homeland and killed Hou Lechang with his family's magic staff, now the clan members are living and working in peace and contentment. It only took more than a month to resolve all the troubles, and Hou Gang himself felt at ease.
After everything has been arranged, there is actually nothing in the tribe that requires the Bojun Hougang to handle it personally. It is also common for Bojun not to be in the tribal territory, such as the Chinese ministers who were recruited by the emperor to join the court.
Many of them were uncles from various places, big and small, and they had been officials in the imperial capital for a long time.
Therefore, things like what Hou Lechang planned were rare and intolerable from the perspective of the time. If everyone did what he did, wouldn't all the ministries in the world be in chaos?
Hou Gang, who broke through the seventh realm and regained his magical power, is actually more difficult to deal with than the ordinary nine realm immortals. Don't forget that he carries so many talismans given by Master Cangjie.
Among the five people, the most special one at first glance was Huwa. Because they were out for fun, the others were on foot. Of course, they did not deliberately show off their magical powers, but Huwa was riding a green bull.
Huwa rides an ox and everyone follows him on foot, which makes him seem to have the most respectable status, which is indeed the case. There is no need to mention Taiyi, Jigu, even Bojun Hougang, and Lu Zhang, the courtesy officer of Lizheng Palace, if you talk about Xiu
I am afraid that because of his status, he cannot be respected in front of Huwa. On the other hand, Huwa is not putting on airs. He is the only one among them who does not have magical powers, and he seems to be the youngest.
Although Huwa is the youngest, after he returned from Wangwu Mountain, Hou Gang and others suddenly realized that this child had grown up!
Of course the child will grow up, but the situation of the tiger baby is different. The incarnation of the Yangshen of the Xian family embodies a kind of cultivation achievement. What the incarnation looks like is only related to the state of mind that is sought for verification. It can be an old man or an old man.
It could be a boy. And the incarnation of Huwa was originally described as when he first arrived in Bayuan. He looked like a boy of fourteen or five years old.
As an ordinary person, he started practicing the Jiuli secret technique, embarked on the path of spiritual practice again, and confirmed the path to heaven with another experience and another way. In a sense, he can be regarded as a
An independent monk.
Within half a year of arriving at the land of Jiuli, Huwa had already achieved a breakthrough in Dacheng cultivation. If he wanted to, he could keep it like this. For Huwa, it didn't matter whether he wanted to or not. He didn't even go there.
care.
In fact, from the time he left Lishan Holy Land and traveled to the bank of the river, he had always looked like that. He seemed a little older than when he first arrived at Jiuli, but it was difficult to notice for his companions who were together every day.
.
Children grow up very fast. If you are with them every day, it is difficult to realize that every time you look at them, it always feels like they were the same as the last time you saw them. Only by suddenly recalling the scene a long time ago can you notice this kind of growth.
fast.
Ever since Huwa arrived at the bank of the river and walked towards the territory of the Hougang clan, he has been quietly "growing up". He is no different from other teenagers in the world, but it is not easy for people around him to notice. But when he arrived at the Wangwu
After walking around in the mountains and returning to Hougang and others, everyone suddenly realized the changes in Huwa.
When he was in the land of Jiuli, he was described as being fourteen or five years old. Now when he came to the Lianghua River on the south bank of the river, he looked like a boy of sixteen or seventeen years old. This was exactly what he was doing here.
The years spent on the road include the time in reality and the realization in the state of concentration.
However, Huwa's cultivation has not yet broken through the Seventh Realm, and he is still experiencing the state of returning to nature. It is also called the Vacuum Tribulation by later generations of monks. His own cultivation realm is still there, but he cannot use magical powers when facing external things.
.Based on Huwa’s cultivation foundation, he should be able to take this step at any time, but he just didn’t take it.
Perhaps the growth of this incarnation and this walk in the land of China are the cultivation state of mind that Huwa has realized. It doesn't matter whether he is deliberate or not. Instead, he seems to have forgotten that he is cultivating and what he wants to achieve is a natural perfection.
.
The green bull that Huwa sat down on seems to have grown a lot compared to when he first saw it at the foot of Wangwu Mountain. It is stronger and taller, and its coat is more shiny and beautiful. This green bull is about one year old.
, is not very big, and it is also the time when it grows the fastest. I don’t know what kind of fairy elixir Goumang gave it. The green cow became very strong and powerful, and it did not feel tired after traveling long distances across mountains and rivers. (To be continued.)
