What is It Like To Be Summoned As a Giant?

Sanshanguan was a strategic location in the Shang Dynasty, and Kong Xuan was one of the generals here. And strictly speaking, he has to be a substitute.

Nowadays, the Shang Dynasty is still in a period of ignorance, and the rules of the bureaucracy are not too strict. The functions of departments such as Si Tianjian and Qin Tianjian overlap and overlap, but no one cares about this.

Kong Xuan's status as commander-in-chief was also between a full-time position and a temporary position. Anyway, there is usually nothing that needs to be taken care of by him, so his life is relatively free.

As the first peacock in the world, Kong Xuan looked down upon his salary and power. But he needs the help of human luck. If he can reach the position of prime minister and reach the level of a supreme minister, Kong Xuan feels that he can become a saint with the help of the luck of the human dynasty.

So how do you become prime minister?

As a strong general with excessive force value but mediocre political value, Kong Xuan's only option was to gain seniority. Anyway, he can live for many, many years and survive three or five emperors. As a veteran of five dynasties, he can almost join the central government.

It was just a decree from the imperial court that told him to run to fight Tang Lin. He was originally a sure shot, but he had to admit defeat when Saint Chunti intervened.

In this way, it would be nice to not be blamed if the credit is not due.

"It seems like it will be wasted for a few more years." Kong Xuan sighed secretly.

But when he returned to Sanshanguan, he immediately received a report from his subordinates that someone wanted to see him. Kong Xuan thought to himself that even if the court criticized him, it would not come so quickly.

After asking carefully, it turned out to be a Taoist priest.

Kong Xuan pondered for a moment and decided to meet him.

When the person arrived, Kong Xuan took a look and found that he was an old Taoist priest with average magic power. It could be said that he had insufficient talent and lack of practice, so he had no hope of becoming a Taoist in this life. Not only that, this old Taoist priest is already seventy or eighty years old, and he may not have many years left to live.

Although he was an opponent who could be crushed to death with his fingers, Kong Xuan still treated him with courtesy. After living among mortals for a long time, Kong Xuan also understood that there is no inevitable relationship between big fists and promotion.

One more friend means more roads, one more enemy means more walls, so we should be more polite to outsiders.

After serving tea, Kong Xuancai asked: "Where is the Taoist Master?"

"I am a poor Taoist named Jiang Shang from Kunlun Mountain, whose name is Ziya." said the old Taoist priest.

It turned out that it was Jiang Ziya who Tang Lin had been searching for, and the Beihai and Sanshanguan calculated by Xibohou were finally fulfilled.

When he heard that it was from Kunlun Mountain, Kong Xuan was immediately wary. The way of heaven has been changing unpredictably recently, and Kong Xuan was naturally aware of it, and probably understood that there was a struggle between the two sects of Interpretation and Interpretation. For Kong Xuan, he just wanted to be his official safely and was not willing to participate in the dispute between the two religions.

If it weren't for the imperial court's orders, Kong Xuan wouldn't even want to go against Taoist Lihuo who was trying to teach him. Even if he really wanted to take action, he would stop there and not dare to form any big grudges.

Everything should be aimed at sanctification, and other troubles should be avoided if possible.

"I wonder what Chief Jiang is asking Kong about?" Kong Xuan asked.

"General Kong, if people of the bright side don't speak secret words, the world will be in great catastrophe. The poor Taoist representative will explain his teachings and ask the general for help." Jiang Ziya said.

"Dao Zhang Jiang, Kong has no intention of participating in the dispute between the two religions." Kong Xuan said with certainty.

This was a clear rejection, but Jiang Ziya didn't show any signs of frustration, because Yuanshi Tianzun had already mentioned it to him before going down the mountain. Jiang Ziya had already planned to win over Kong Xuan.

Jiang Ziya picked up the tea cup and took a sip, moistened his throat and said: "General Kong was the first peacock in the world. Now he is willing to be a commander-in-chief, just because he wants to rely on the luck of the human race to become a saint. But Kong Does the general think that he can achieve his wish by being trapped in Sanshan Pass? Have you never heard that the second prince Yin Hong has arrived in Xiqi and will raise a rebel flag soon?

"When the war is over, where will the general go?"

"The second prince has arrived in Xiqi? Is this true?" Kong Xuan asked in surprise.

Although his five-color divine light is infinitely powerful, he is not proficient in the art of divination. At this time, Yin Hong arrived in Xiqi and it was still a major secret. Not counting saints, no more than ten people in the world knew this secret.

"It's absolutely true. How could a poor Taoist use such a thing to deceive the general? The war is about to begin. It is not only a matter of explaining the two religions, but also a major event in the world. Xiqi's soldiers and horses are strong, and he will get one of three parts of the world, and support the second prince Yin Hong. In rebellion, all the princes and guards in the world will be involved.

"As far as Pindao knows, Taoist Lihuo has been designated as a traitor by His Majesty. It can be seen that Taoist Lihuo will definitely take refuge in Xiqi during the great calamity. Taoist Lihuo is the sixth direct descendant of Saint Tongtian, representing This is the attitude of a saint.

"Nowadays, there are many people in the Jiejiao in the imperial court, and they are fighting together. If these Jiejiao people switch sides, how will the general handle himself? Will he also switch to Xiqi?"

Faced with Jiang Ziya's problem, Kong Xuan wanted to say that he would run away if others ran away, but it was actually impossible. Yin Jiao has ascended the throne, which is the orthodoxy of the imperial court and the destiny of the mortal dynasty. If Kong Xuan defected to Xiqi, all previous efforts would be in vain.

The truth is, since you have chosen to assist the Shang Dynasty, you must stick to it. If you just change the door and start over again, then this road will be impossible.

Therefore, there is basically no possibility of betrayal by Kong Xuan, unless he directly abandons the method of official sainthood and changes to other methods.

But there is no such easy way to become a saint in the world. After finally finding one and working hard for so long, Kong Xuan did not allow himself to fail.

"Dao Zhang Jiang, have you decided to support Chao Ge?" Kong Xuan asked.

"It should be so. The Shang Dynasty ruled the world for hundreds of years and it was the orthodoxy of the world. Xiqi's rebellion was unknown and unpopular. It was a serious crime of treason. I have to follow heaven in my teachings, so naturally I want to help the court put down the rebellion." Jiang Ziya Definitely.

Kong Xuan finally understood Jiang Ziya's intention. In fact, even if Jiang Ziya didn't come, as long as Chanjiao was willing to help Yin Jiao, he would be Kong Xuan's natural ally. Let me tell you in advance, the purpose is just to make everyone closer, so that when we send out troops in the future, we can work together to fight against the interception.

Kong Xuan had no choice but to agree.

Jie Jiao's power in Chaoge is too huge. If nothing else, just being a Grand Master Wen is enough to frighten people. Although Wen Taishi is loyal and loyal, how dare he disobey the sage's will?

Once it is heard that the Grand Master has defected, the court in Yinjiao may fall apart in an instant. Therefore, allies are necessary, and not only that, but preparations must be made in advance.

"Taoist Master Jiang, I heard that the Grand Master is a very popular minister and a member of the Jiejiao sect. Is there any way to deal with this?" Kong Xuan asked.

"Don't worry, General, I have a plan for this matter. As long as..." Before Jiang Ziya could finish his words, Kong Xuan stood up suddenly, almost knocking over the table in front of him.

"General, why are you surprised?" Jiang Ziya asked in surprise.

Kong Xuan frowned and said, "That Taoist Lihuo has arrived at Sanshan Pass!"
