Huwa is equivalent to following Hou Gang to meet Danzhu. Hou Gang's what he heard, saw, and even his divine sense, the tiger baby was clear. This is a kind of Jiuli witchcraft, a very clever method of induction and communication, which can be reluctantly described as Hou Gang falling into the Gu of the tiger baby.
Tiger Baby hasn't mastered the power of witchcraft yet, but that doesn't mean he won't. Sometimes whether or not the means are learned and whether they can actually be used are two different things. During this time, he traveled around the villages of the various tribes of Gu Li, investigating the various situations of the clansmen, including their private words and deeds, and he was also studying the cultivation of those witch lords.
With Huwa's knowledge, of course, he has also learned or evolved a lot of witchcraft methods, but he himself can't use them yet, but he can teach Hou Gang and let Hou Gang use them with his Dacheng cultivation. It is equivalent to Hou Gang casting a spell to help the tiger baby, so that he gave himself a Gu. This kind of witchcraft is called concentric Gu, synaesthesia Gu, and total ****, in short, it makes the senses of the two people communicate.
The Jiuli people often need to use specially cultivated Gu worms, especially with natal insect beasts, to perform this method. The tiger baby didn't breed any natal Gu worms, in a sense, Hou Gang was equivalent to the tiger baby's natal Gu worms or Gu beasts at the moment. But the secret method cast by the tiger baby is only temporary, not almost permanent like Jiuli Wugong.
To cast a spell like this, you must first gain the unconditional and absolute trust of the other party. Of course, Hou Gang is not the natal insect beast raised by the tiger baby, but he absolutely trusts the tiger baby, and even took the initiative to help the tiger baby complete the witchcraft.
With Huwa's current identity, he can't see Danzhu and Boyi, but he is also very curious about these two legendary characters, so he came up with this trick. In fact, there is no need to use witchcraft, and Hou Gang's own cultivation can completely do this, such as sending divine thoughts to the tiger baby in the distance at any time, but it is very rude and inconvenient to do so.
Sending divine thoughts is very hidden. But there are always faint mana fluctuations, and ordinary monks can't detect them, but when they reach the cultivation realm of Huwa, they can detect traces, and presumably Bo Yi and other masters can also find it. If you find that Hou Gang always sends divine thoughts outside during a private conversation, it will be very rude and will inevitably cause suspicion.
And with the help of this means of witchcraft. It is equivalent to integrating the corresponding mana fluctuations into the vitality rhythm breath, which is difficult to detect. Of course, the purpose of the tiger baby is not to peep at anything, but to see it as if it were a personal experience, and it is also to confirm Jiuli's witchcraft methods. If there is any secret that is not suitable for the outside world, Hougang can also take the initiative to cut off the connection between the mind and the mind.
Jiuli witchcraft is indeed peculiar or weird, and the tiger baby is like sharing Hou Gang's senses. The tiger baby has cultivated the essence of the essence, and he secretly understands that when this witchcraft is activated, it not only consumes Hou Gang's mana, but the vitality of the tiger baby herself is also slowly passing imperceptibly. It also consumes double the life force.
It's just a short time, and it's nothing for the tiger baby, the incarnation of the immortal yang god, for example, Hou Gang went to see Danzhu for a few hours, but it only damaged the life of the tiger baby for a few hours. However, if a similar spell is cast for a long time, the loss of vitality and vitality may be very large, either through elixir or through the corresponding cultivation secret method.
Such witchcraft may seem strange and magical, but it does not come without a price. Cultivating witchcraft such as natal insects and beasts may have more or less similar consequences.
If the distance exceeds the range of the Genshin Extension. The induction immediately becomes very vague, and only a hazy intuition remains. And within the scope of the Genshin Extension. The higher the cultivation, the clearer the induction and communication. At this moment, it is equivalent to Hou Gang's retrograde witchcraft, and with his great cultivation as a cast, the tiger baby's induction is completely clear and unhindered.
Danju did not entertain guests in a stone house, but sat in a specially built tent. This emperor should be in his forties, but he looks like he is in his twenties. His cultivation should have seven realms, but he can't see it really.
Danjo's temperament is idle. I don't pay much attention to complicated mundane things.,Usually don't deliberately show your cultivation and don't deliberately restrain your spiritual fluctuations.。 Dealing with mundane things as his identity, it doesn't matter how much he has magical powers, so he has developed such a temperament.
The other man in the big tent was particularly eye-catching in the eyes of the tiger baby. It's simply terrifying, he stands there, but it seems to stand up to the sky, this person is Bo Yi. Bo Yi did not hide his cultivation realm, nor did he deliberately release coercion, and the feeling he gave the tiger baby was unfathomable. Even if the tiger baby's deity is here, I'm afraid I won't be able to see through Boyi's cultivation.
The feeling is like a person looking up at the sky, and the sky is unobstructed, but endless. The tiger baby has cultivated in the nine realms, and even he can't see through Bo Yi, so what kind of cultivation is Bo Yi? The only one who can give the tiger baby a similar feeling was Mr. Cangjie before, but Cangjie and Bo Yi are different.
There is another person in the big tent, and that is Chonghua. Chonghua's breath is very restrained, which makes the tiger baby feel a little unclear, but it should have achieved great cultivation. This kind of "can't see clearly" is different from the "can't see through" of Bo Yi, it may be that Chonghua's habits have also developed a certain temperament, which makes it difficult to judge his exact cultivation through his external divine characteristics.
Chonghua's restraint is different from Danzhu's idle temperament. Chonghua is an official around Danzhu who deals with various specific affairs, and all kinds of miscellaneous matters require him to do it himself, take the initiative to plan all aspects of the strategy, and need to take into account more things.
Although Danzhu is a Chinese angel, he is not the Son of China after all, and the object of his inspection is not the Hougang tribe, so after Hougang entered the tent, he just bowed and saluted, and did not bow to the ground.
Danzhu got up and bypassed the table, grabbed Hou Gang's arm and said, "Lord Hou Gang, I have admired your name for a long time, but I regret that I have not been able to see each other. I heard that you've been in Gu Li for a while and have done a lot of things, so I want to thank you!"
Hou Gang, a noble man from the land of China, went to the village of Gulibu before Danzhu, which left a good impression on the local people and made many people dispel their hostility towards Danzhu. Danju had heard the news a long time ago, so he expressed his gratitude as soon as they met.
Hou Gang said with a smile: "I'm just interested in the legend of Jiuli, and I came here to travel and practice." ”
After the throne was conferred, Danzhu asked, "Lord Hougang, the Hougang clan respects you as the head of the monarch, and the Son of Heaven also canonizes you as an uncle." But there has been no news of you all these years, where have you been cultivating before?" He obviously guessed that Hou Gang had been in retreat and cultivation all these years, and only after breaking through the Dacheng cultivation did he show up and walk the world.
Hou Gang also had nothing to hide, and replied calmly: "I have been to Ba Yuan all these years, and I have been an official in Ba Yuan, and I have witnessed Ba Yuan rule from chaos and return to unification. After cultivating for Dacheng, he resigned and left. When I returned to China to travel, I heard that the emperor had traveled south to Jiuli, and I also came to see the world. ”
Chonghua interjected: "Lord Hou Gang is from Ba Yuan, and he was an official in Ba Yuan, so did you see Lord Lu Zhang before you left Ba Yuan?"
Hou Gang said truthfully: "I did see Lord Lu Zhang coming by the clouds, and I had already resigned at that time. But in the royal palace, he received Lu Zhang with Ba Jun. He directly sent a divine thought, introducing the scene of Lu Zhang's visit to Ba Yuan.
Hou Gang is very frank and has nothing to hide, anyway, Lu Zhang will report Danzhu truthfully after he comes back. Lu Zhang was ordered to canonize Ba Jun, but Hou Gang did not make trouble, he just truthfully introduced the Chinese etiquette system to Shaowu, and Shaowu made a very normal decision.
Hou Gang is aware of the current situation in various departments in China, and does not want to get involved in the struggle for the heir of the Son of Heaven. Actually, strictly speaking. Hou Gang's clan is inherited from the line of Emperor Gaoyang, and it is not the same faction as Danzhu, so it stands to reason that it should be more supportive of Chongbo. But Hou Gang also didn't know Chongbokun, he was not interested in this kind of thing, and he wouldn't deliberately take sides.
Looking back now, Cangjie brought Hou Gang to Bayuan when he was a teenager, probably not wanting him to be involved in the power struggle in the world at a young age. Let him experience the world in Ba Yuan and grow up gradually, and at the same time avoid the battle for the heir of the Son of Heaven in the land of China. Otherwise, there will always be someone to woo him.
"Hou Gang" is also a clan name, and it is also the title of a clan. Hou Gang was the nominally canonized head of the tribe, and it was not uncommon for him to take this name, and the name represented the status.
Danzhu heard that Lu Zhang did not finish the matter of canonizing Bajun, and he did not show much disappointment. Just sighed softly. Sending Lu Zhang Chengyun to canonize Ba Jun was Chonghua's suggestion. If it can succeed, it is Danzhu's luck, if it can't be done on the spot, it is also Danzhu's credit to be the first to contact Bayuan and bring the situation back to China, and there will be no loss anyway.
In fact, even if there was no understanding person like Hou Gang at that time. There is no Yaoji and Xuanyuan to support Ba Jun, and Lu Zhang can't handle it, how can Ba Jun Shaowu be a fool. Ba Jun treated Lu Zhang with courtesy, and also expressed his willingness to negotiate the acceptance of the canonization of the Son of Heaven, although things did not meet the best expectations, but Lu Zhang was not worth the trip.
Next, Danzhu asked Hou Gang what he knew about the situation of the Jiuli departments. Hou Gang also did not hide anything, and basically introduced everything he knew and could say.
Compared with Danzhu, Hou Gang is of course closer to Huwa, so he does not have the identity of Daopo Huwa and others, but compared with the Jiuli tribes, Hou Gang is obviously closer to Danzhu from the land of China, and he can't hide any inside information for the Jiuli tribes.
Many of the situations that Hou Gang had mastered were precisely what Dan Zhu did not know before or needed to be further understood. Although Chonghua arranged a lot of eyeliner, after all, he did not go deep into the life of Jiuli Village like Hou Gang. Danzhu once again expressed his gratitude to Hou Gang.
During the conversation among the people, Bo Yi suddenly asked Hou Gang alone with the Immortal Family Divine Thoughts: "How is Mr. Cangjie doing, what is the point of his cultivation now, and has he sought to verify the achievements of the Heavenly Emperor? I once met him in the Kunlun Immortal Realm of the Taihao Heavenly Emperor, and there has been no news since I returned to the world. ”
Danzhu and Chonghua couldn't hear this sentence, but Huwa heard it, and the information revealed in it was so shocking that it even subverted the perception of mortals about the immortal family since ancient times.
Cangjie is by no means an immortal who has never ascended in the world, he has already been to the Imperial Divine Land. Not only him, but Bo Yi had also been there, and the two had also met in the Imperial Township Divine Land opened up by Taihao. And since ancient legends, the immortal family has stepped on the path to the sky, soared to the emperor's hometown and enjoyed eternal life, but it is never returned.
There is also a legend that the immortals will never return, and they are associated with the Absolute Heaven and Earth Pass, believing that the immortals will not be able to come back because of this. But Cangjie and Boyi appeared in the world again, so they are both immortals in the "lower realm" in the sky.
After having ascended to immortality, how can they return to the world? Or so many immortals can't do it, why did Cangjie and Bo Yi do it? Huwa already has a vague answer in her heart, the key should be the choice after breaking through the Nine Realms, whether to immediately ascend to the emperor's hometown divine land, or stay in the world and continue to practice, until the catastrophe of heaven and earth is ushered in?
The situation mentioned by Bo Yi should be a secret that few people know, at least the vast majority of the people in China do not know that Bo Yi has actually ascended to the divine land of the emperor's hometown. But the Nether Realm returned to the world.
Hou Gang was also completely stunned, and was stunned for a moment before replying, "The master didn't tell me this, but only took me to Bayuan to practice when I was a teenager. It was only after I broke through the Six Realms of cultivation that I got the Divine Thoughts Heart Seal he left, and as for what he knows now, I don't know. ”
Obviously. Hou Gang didn't know about this before, after he broke through Dacheng's cultivation and interpreted the divine thoughts and heart seals left by Cangjie, he only had a vague understanding, but now he was suddenly broken by Bo Yi, and he couldn't help but be unable to come back to his senses for a long time.
Bo Yi saw that Hou Gang didn't know either, so he stopped secretly asking. Danzhu spoke again: "Lord Hougang, you not only know the situation of the Jiuli tribes, but also have been to various villages. Now I am on my way south at the behest of the Son of Heaven. Just as they were about to appease the Jiuli tribes to make an alliance, they made many demands. I'd like to ask you how to deal with it. ”
The Divine Mind introduced the various situations he encountered during his southern tour of Jiuli, almost without reservation. Hou Gang sighed secretly and said, "Why do you want to ask me, Lord Angel? Master once taught that if the world is complicated and the truth is difficult to understand, you can't see through many conspiracies and calculations, and you don't have to think about it. Conduct only with your own heart. It's just a matter of integrity. ”
Hou Gang did not directly answer Danzhu's words, but only explained an attitude. It is "uprightness". The Jiuli tribes must have asked for Danzhu, so they are willing to make an alliance, but on the other hand, they must also have their own conspiracies and calculations, and want to use Danzhu and even leave some ambush.
What does everyone in the world think, and what kind of ghost ideas are secretly played, if you think about it one by one. When faced with such a situation, people should first think about what they should do. Everyone has principles and positions that should be adhered to, and if the heart is clear, they will know how to deal with any situation.
Although Hou Gang did not answer directly, it was equivalent to giving an answer. Since Danzhu inspected the various departments of Jiuli on behalf of the Son of Heaven. If you also want to form an alliance with them, then you should provide the Jiuli tribes with help within their ability, such as helping them kill the demons, so as to exchange for the promise of making an alliance.
On the other hand, it is impossible to agree to a request such as helping the Shanli tribe to attack the Feili tribe. Danzhu represents the Son of Heaven, and his identity and duty is to mediate disputes and establish prestige for the various ministries, rather than taking the initiative to provoke civil strife and damage the reputation of the Son of Heaven.
In fact, Hou Gang's situation is also very delicate, since Danzhu has asked, he can't help but give a correct suggestion. But on the other hand, if he made a clear suggestion and Danju did it, it would mean that he was also involved in helping Danzhu subdue Jiuli. In the eyes of the Chinese ministries, this may be understood as an alliance between Hou Gang and Danzhu, or at least an expression of goodwill with Danzhu.
Danzhu took advantage of such an occasion to ask Hou Gang for advice on such an important matter, which was obviously soliciting and showing closeness.
Hou Gang himself does not want to be biased in the battle for the heir of the Son of Heaven, if he must nominate someone, it must be the most suitable one, not the one closest to him.
But from the tribal point of view, the most suitable is usually the one that is most beneficial to oneself, and the one that is most beneficial to oneself is often the one with whom it is most closely related, and this has been the case in many things throughout the ages. Although Hou Gang was born in Emperor Gaoyang, he didn't know Chongbo Kun after all, but now he met Danzhu first. For Danju, this is a good opportunity to forge a close relationship.
Lord Chonghua who was present was also a descendant of Emperor Gaoyang. He was able to be elected and appointed, and now he is reused by Danzhu, perhaps because Di Yao or Danzhu deliberately wanted to select and cultivate such a person in order to divide the factional forces that support Chongbocang. And Chonghua came from a humble background, and the instrument of Emperor Yao of the Yang Staff was based on the court, and it was impossible to really replace Chongbo.
Hou Gang looked at these things very lightly, but he also saw them very thoroughly, so his answer was very measured and decent. Danzhu asked Chonghua again: "The five great witches are outside the tent, and then I will summon them, and leave the matter of the alliance to you to deal with, what do you want to do?"
Chonghua bowed and said, "Lord Hou Gang is right, just act upright. With your status and status, there is no need to think about anything else. We directly told the Great Wu Gong of the Fei Li Department that the Shanli Department had made that kind of request, and let them make it clear to their faces what they had to say. Then you will mediate on the spot and ask them if they are convinced, this is the way of the Son of Heaven. ”
Hearing these words, the tiger baby nodded secretly, and said in her heart that this Chonghua is a talent. If Ba Jun was here, he would definitely do it.
Danzhu immediately ordered to summon the five great witches, and in order to show his closeness and respect, he deliberately left Hou Gang in the big tent to participate in this matter. Hou Gang wanted to avoid it, but it was not rude to leave first, so he had to sit aside and not speak. The five great witches entered the tent to salute, and Danzhu returned the gift, and said something to praise the Chinese Son of Heaven and appease the people of all departments.
Seeing that the ceremony was over, Chonghua said directly: "Emperor Danzhu has inspected the Jiuli tribes this time, and wants to make an alliance with the major ministries. However, the Shanli tribe asked the emperor to attack the Feili tribe, and then he was willing to surrender. The Emperor is responsible for mediating the disputes between the various ministries, and since the great witches of the various ministries are present, I would like to ask clearly, what is the dispute between Shanli and Feili, and how can it be resolved?"
The five great witches were all a little stunned, they didn't expect Chonghua to be so direct. Looking at this frame, even if there is a contradiction between them, they have to fight here first. Speaking of which, the conspiracy is still invincible to the yang conspiracy.
The great Wugong Shan Li of the Shanli Department was very embarrassed, lowered his head and explained for a long time, and did not list the various "crimes" of the Feili Department as he did at the beginning, but claimed that the Jiuli tribes had moved here for hundreds of years, spreading branches and multiplication, and there were more and more clansmen, but the places suitable for establishing villages and cultivating the countryside were limited, because of the land and water sources that had various conflicts with the Feili tribe.
Chonghua didn't ask any nonsense, and directly spread out an animal skin on the ground, which was the latest and most complete map of the distribution of villages in the nearby Jiuli tribes. There were also a lot of red circles drawn on the map, which was the position occupied by the demons and demons in the wilderness, and he pointed to the map and said: "The dispute between Shanli and Feili is not unsolvable.
As long as you kill these demons, you will have a large treasure land to relocate. Emperor Danzhu came to help the Li people, and it was impossible to provoke civil strife and kill the Li people, but he could send Lord Bo Yi to help you eliminate the evil evil. The people of each ministry are living in poverty, and the emperor can also provide various subsidies.
As long as the Jiuli tribes respect the Chinese Son of Heaven, the emperor has promised that you will no longer be affected by the sins of your ancestors, and you can also be canonized by the Son of Heaven...... Carrying out education, opening roads, building water works, and building cities can all get the help of China. ”
When Chonghua finished speaking, Danzhu asked, "Do you have any objections?" If there are no objections, please swear according to the covenant today. ”
Bo Yi, who had not spoken, also suddenly spoke: "I should kill the demons and evil spirits to save the suffering of the Li people." And all of you in the tent are the heads of Li Min, and in my opinion, they should not belong to the demons. (To be continued.) )
