Hou Gang became officially canonized by the Son of Heaven, and to his surprise, he was even promoted to the first-class title, from the third-class earl to the second-class earl, because he had made great contributions to Danzhu in the land of Jiuli.

The promotion of this kind of title only belongs to Hou Gang himself, and cannot be inherited by hereditary, and Hou Gang's future heir still has to start from the third-class earl, but it is already rare.

It is very difficult to promote the title of earl, for example, the head of the Jiqiu clan has been enshrined for decades, and he is still a fifth-class earl. Although Hou Gang has made meritorious contributions in the land of Jiuli, he is also very reluctant in terms of his qualifications for promotion, which can be regarded as the Son of Heaven is extraordinarily gracious.

Whose meaning is this, is there any other inside story, and is it the intention of which force to win over? Hou Gang only pretended not to know, and after thanking the Son of Heaven for his kindness, he accepted it frankly. When Lu Zhang set out from the imperial capital, he didn't know what happened after Hou Gang returned to his hometown, so he was not authorized by the Son of Heaven and had no right to appoint a new city lord, but on behalf of the Son of Heaven, he could announce Hou Shiji's temporary position as the city lord.

After Hou Gang returned to Yuncheng from his ancestral land, his identity had become the second-class lord of the Chinese Empire, and Hou Shiji also clarified his status as the temporary city lord. It was in the city lord's mansion that Hou Gang met with the monk Lianghuang who came on behalf of the Lianghua River.

Mo said that the killing intent in Liang Huang's heart had disappeared, even if he still had murderous intent towards Hou Gang, he didn't dare to act rashly at this moment, because there were still two masters of the 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 cool feeling, as if this messenger would stare himself to death with a glance, where would he dare to move?

In the eyes of ordinary people, Liang Huang may be regarded as a master of the immortal family, but in front of Lu Zhang, the ceremonial official of the Lizheng Palace and the monk of the Transformation Realm, I am afraid that he is not even a dish, and on such an occasion, Lu Zhang does not have to pretend.

It was impossible to take revenge, so Liang Huang had to respectfully visit Lord Bojun, and carefully explained his intention and asked about Liang Jineng's death. There is nothing to say about this matter, but Hou Gang is not rude, tells the story in detail, and sighs and sighs.

Liang Huang not only came on behalf of the sect in name, but also had two other missions, one of which was to find out how Liang Ji Neng was captured by mistake? At this moment, there was no need to ask, he saw that Hou Gang had Taiyi, a master of the Transformation Realm, sitting in town. The second is to find the artifact Lianghua Suo of Huachuan, which was originally carried by Liangji, but it is the inheritance of the sect.

Like this kind of sect inheritance artifact, such as Chiwangqiu's winged flying boat, after the monks in the sect get it, they can only use it but cannot have it permanently, let alone pass it on to others without authorization, and they must still be returned to the sect for disposal after their death. And Liang Ji Neng died accidentally, so Liang Huachuan wants to get this artifact back, for others, if they don't get the immortal soul brand inheritance, it's useless to just get Liang Huasuo.

Liang Huang made this request very confidently, and before Hou Gang could speak, Lu Zhang glared at the case and said: "Liang Jineng's death is to blame! Lord Hou Gang is already generous if he does not pursue the Lianghuachuan Sect for this." If Lianghuachuan wants to recover the sect inheritance artifact, it should also be the sect master who personally comes to the door to apologize and give sufficient compensation.

How can you only send a disciple like you, and ask for the artifact without even the deacons and elders in the sect coming? Even if you ask for Lianghua, can you take it away with your cultivation? If you are robbed and killed and taken away in the middle of the road, do you want to frame the Hou Gang clan for this, and then send someone to question you?"

In fact, Liang Huang regretted it as soon as he spoke, and at this moment, he was even more speechless by Lu Zhang's reprimand. With only four realms of cultivation, even if he has obtained the inheritance of the immortal brand, he will not be able to integrate Lianghuasuo into the form of the god. The usual shape of the Lianghua rope is a two-inch thick and seven-foot-long soft rope, even if it is wrapped around the waist, it is a big circle, is he going to carry it back like this?

What Lu Zhang said just now was also right, if someone with bad intentions robbed and killed him halfway and took away this artifact, could Lianghuachuan continue to frame the Hou Gang clan and then come to Hou Gang's troubles?

Seeing that Liang Huang Nuonuo couldn't answer, Taiyi said again: "Liang Ji Neng was not killed by us, but he felt shameless and killed himself." But he was captured by me, and the Lianghua rope also fell into my hands. I'm not greedy, this artifact is useless to me, if Lianghuachuan wants to find it, he should do what Lord Lu Zhang said.

The sect master of your sect and the elders don't have to run to Yincheng. I heard that the scenery around Lianghuachuan is good, and in a few days, Lord Hou Gang and I will accompany Lord Lu Zhang to enjoy it there. If the sect leader of your sect has the heart to take back the artifact, he should visit him locally. Could you please take your words back and ask the sect master and the elders of your sect what you 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 civilian clothes, and there was no honor guard around them. These five are all masters, even if Gu Gu's cultivation is a weakness, it is also a demon cultivation of the Five Realms, and it cannot be ignored wherever it is placed, and Hou Gang's cultivation has broken through to the Seven Realms.

When and how did Hou Gang break through? In fact, everything was natural, he did not hide in a safe place to retreat, but at the same time as he handled all the affairs of the clan, it seemed to be a matter of course.

Now that the Hou Gang clan has no internal disputes, the friction between the Hou Gang clan and the Jiqiu clan has been resolved, the water that has been cut off from the upstream has returned to normal, Hou Shiji has officially assumed the position of the city lord, the bridge outside the north gate of the city has also been repaired, and the clansmen are busy with spring ploughing.

From Hou Gang's return to his ancestral land to kill Hou Lechang with his family staff, to the fact that the clansmen are living and working in peace and contentment, it only took more than a month to solve all these incidents, and Hou Gang himself has been idle.

After everything was arranged, in fact, there was nothing in the tribe that had to be handled by Hou Gang, the uncle. It is also common for Bojun to be absent from the tribal territory, for example, many of the Chinese ministers who were recruited by the Son of Heaven into the court were large and small Bojun from all over the world, and they had also been officials in the imperial capital for a long time.

Therefore, things like Hou Lechang's plot, from the perspective of the time, are rare and intolerable, if they all do it like him, wouldn't all the ministries in the world be chaotic?

Hou Gang, who broke through the cultivation of the Seven Realms and recovered his magical powers, was actually more difficult to deal with than the ordinary Nine Realms Earth Immortals, don't forget that he had so many runes given by his master Cangjie.

Among the five people, the most special thing at a glance is the tiger baby, because it is out to play, and the others are on foot, of course, they do not deliberately show their magical powers, but the tiger baby is riding a green cow.

The tiger baby rode the bull and everyone followed on foot, which seemed to be his most respectful, but in fact it was. Taiyi and Jigu don't need to be mentioned, even if it is Bojun Hou Gang and Lizheng Palace Etiquette Officer Lu Zhang, if you talk about cultivation status, I am afraid you will not be able to be respected in front of Huwa. On the other hand, Tiger Baby is not deliberately putting on a show, he is the only one among the people who does not have supernatural powers, and he also looks the youngest.

Although Huwa is the youngest, since he returned from Wangwu Mountain, Hou Gang and the others suddenly realized that this child has grown up!

Of course, children will grow up, but the situation of tiger babies is different. Xianjiayang's deified body is a kind of cultivation achievement, and what the description of the incarnation looks like is only related to the state of mind that is being verified, which can be an old man or a child. And the incarnation of the tiger baby, at first, was the description he had when he first arrived in Bayuan, looking like a fourteen or fifteen-year-old boy.

He started from the cultivation of the Jiuli Secret Art as an ordinary person, re-embarked on the path of cultivation, and confirmed the path to heaven with another experience and another way, in a sense, he can be regarded as an independent monk.

Within half a year of arriving in the land of Jiuli, Huwa had already broken through the Dacheng cultivation, and if he was willing, he could keep it like this. For Huwa, it doesn't matter whether he wants to or not, he doesn't even care.

In fact, from the time he left the Lishan Holy Land and traveled to the bank of the big river, he had always been like that, as if he was a little older than when he first arrived at Jiuli, but it was difficult for his companions who were together every day to notice.

The child grows up very fast, if you are with him every day, but it is difficult to realize that every time you look at him, you always feel that you still see him at the last glance, and only when you suddenly recall the scene from a long time ago can you notice this rapid growth.

Ever since Huwa arrived on the bank of the river and walked towards the territory of the Hougang clan, she has been quietly "growing up", no different from other teenagers in the world, but it is not easy for people around her to notice. But when he walked around Wangwu Mountain, and then returned to Hou Gang and others, everyone suddenly realized the change in Huwa.

At the beginning, in the land of Jiuli, he described him as fourteen or five years old, but now when he came to the vicinity of Lianghua River on the south bank of the river, he looked like a sixteen or seventeen-year-old boy. This is exactly the years he has spent along the way, including the time in reality, and the realization in the fixed situation.

However, the cultivation of the tiger baby has still not broken through the Seven Realms, and is still experiencing the realm of real people returning to the purple, and it is also called the Vacuum Tribulation by later generations of monks, and its own cultivation realm is still there, but when facing things in the outside world, it cannot use supernatural power. With the foundation of Huwa's cultivation, he should be able to take this step at any time, but he just didn't take a step.

Perhaps the growth of this incarnation, the walk in the land of China, is the state of mind of cultivation that the tiger baby has perceived, he doesn't care whether he is deliberate or not, but seems to have forgotten that he is cultivating, and what he is asking for is a kind of natural perfection.

The green cow that the tiger baby sat on seemed to have grown a lot older than when I first saw it at the foot of Wangwu Mountain, with a more vigorous and tall body and a shinier coat color. The young teeth of this green cow are about a year old, which is not big, and it is also the time when it grows the fastest. I don't know what fairy elixir Jumang has given it, the green cow has become very strong and powerful, and it is not tired of wading through mountains and rivers for a long time. (To be continued.) )
