Conferred Gods: Master Tongtian is my master

Chapter 181: Victory! Accepting a Disciple

Afterwards, Luo Shu and Kong Xuan turned into a stream of light and returned to the general's mansion.

At this time, Deng Jiugong, Huang Tianhua and Huang Tianxiang had returned to the main hall.

When the three saw Luo Shu and Kong Xuan suddenly appear, they all showed surprise on their faces.

"Imperial Master, General Kong, where have you been?" Deng Jiugong stepped forward and asked with a bow.

When Luo Shu and Kong Xuan heard Deng Jiugong's question, they couldn't help but look at each other, with a hint of embarrassment in their eyes.

Luo Shu cleared his throat gently, and spoke with some apology and caution:

"General Deng, to be honest, General Kong and I just sensed an unusual aura outside Sanshan Pass."

"In order to find out the source and purpose of this aura, the two of us decided to go together."

After hearing this, Deng Jiugong frowned slightly and a trace of solemnity flashed in his eyes.

"Master, where does this aura come from? Does it indicate any ominous sign? Will it pose a threat to Sanshan Pass?" Deng Jiugong asked with concern.

Luo Shu's face stiffened when he heard this. Then, he took a deep breath and tried to make his tone sound more natural:

"General Deng, don't worry. After General Kong and I investigated, we found that this aura was actually emitted by a little demon. Although it is a little strange, its strength is not strong."

"Oh?"

Deng Jiugong's brows relaxed slightly, but he remained alert. "Why did this little demon appear outside Sanshan Pass? What is its intention?"

Luo Shu shook his head slightly and said slowly:

"We are still unclear about its intentions."

"But please rest assured, General Deng, General Kong and I have taken action in time to eliminate it, so that it will not continue to cause trouble outside Sanshan Pass."

Kong Xuan also nodded and agreed:

"What the Imperial Master said is true. Sir General, the situation was urgent at the time, and the Imperial Master and I had to act quickly."

"That's why I was unable to report to you in time. Please forgive me, General."

After hearing Kong Xuan's words, Deng Jiugong's worries were slightly relieved like dark clouds blown away by the wind.

He waved his hand, a relieved smile appeared on his face, and said in a gentle tone:

"Hey, General Kong, what are you talking about? You and the Imperial Master are also thinking about the people in Sanshan Pass. How could I blame you?"

When Kong Xuan heard what Deng Jiugong said, the corners of his mouth twitched.

He thought that he was an upright person and had never told a lie.

Now, under the guidance of the national teacher Luo Shu, he has also started to make up lies to fool people.

Luo Shu saw the subtle change in Kong Xuan's expression and understood it. He then sent a message to Kong Xuan with a hint of joking in his voice:

"General Kong is indeed the best person under the saint. He can lie without changing his expression."

Hearing Luo Shu's teasing, Kong Xuan was slightly startled, and then he also sent a voice message to Luo Shu and responded:

"Same here. The Imperial Master looks like a gentleman, but he is actually very calm and composed when telling lies."

Hearing this, Luo Shu smiled and said no more.

Deng Jiugong did not notice the subtle communication between the two. He was still immersed in the news brought by Kong Xuan and Luo Shu.

After a while, Deng Jiugong seemed to have thought of something, turned his head to look at Kong Xuan beside him, and said slowly:

"General Kong, I just thought of something."

When Kong Xuan saw that Deng Jiugong was so serious, he immediately stopped smiling and became serious.

He bowed slightly to show respect: "General, please speak."

Deng Jiugong pondered for a moment and said:

"General Kong, there is no need to be so nervous. I just want to ask, when did General Kong start practicing? And why has he been walking around in the world as a mortal general?"

When Kong Xuan heard this, his eyes flickered slightly, as if he was weighing how to respond.

He turned to look at Luo Shu behind him, only to see that he had a calm expression on his face, as if he had already expected Deng Jiugong to ask this question.

Kong Xuan understood clearly that Luo Shu must have revealed his identity as a Taoist during his previous conversation with Deng Jiugong.

So, Kong Xuan took a deep breath, adjusted his mentality, and responded:

"Sir General, I have indeed been practicing for many years."

There was a hint of vicissitudes in his voice, as if he had traveled through the tunnel of time and space and returned to those years of cultivation.

"But the reason why I walk in the world as a mortal military general is not for any other reason, but because there are intricate connections between me and the Shang Dynasty." A complex emotion flashed in Kong Xuan's eyes.

He paused for a moment, as if trying to organize his next words, and then continued:

"As for my true identity, I cannot reveal it here. This is not because I don't trust the commander-in-chief, but because I have unspeakable difficulties."

"But I can assure you that I will do my best, no matter what my identity, to protect the peace and prosperity of Da Shang."

After hearing Kong Xuan's answer, Deng Jiugong stared at Kong Xuan deeply.

His eyes were filled with complex emotions, including admiration, trust, and a hint of imperceptible emotion.

After all, he had worked with Kong Xuan for many years, and he was well aware of Kong Xuan's character, loyalty and wisdom.

"General Kong, no matter who you are, you are the general of Sanshan Pass. I believe in you." Deng Jiugong said.

After hearing this, Kong Xuan's eyes flashed with emotion.

At this time, Luo Shu, who was standing by, saw that the conversation between the two had come to an end, so he stepped forward with a smile, turned his gaze towards Huang Tianhua and Huang Tianxiang, and said gently:

"Tianhua, Tianxiang, you two little guys, come and pay your respects to your master - Kong Xuan."

Upon hearing this, Huang Tianhua and Huang Tianxiang immediately ran over from the corner.

There was a gleam of curiosity and admiration in their eyes, and they saluted Kong Xuan respectfully.

Huang Tianhua spoke first: "Disciple Huang Tianhua, hello to Master!"

His voice was loud and powerful, revealing a firm determination.

Then, Huang Tianxiang followed closely behind and bowed respectfully:

"Disciple Huang Tianxiang, hello to Master!"

Although his voice was a little childish, it was full of respect.

Kong Xuan was immersed in the conversation with Deng Jiugong when he suddenly heard the young and energetic voices of Huang Tianhua and Huang Tianxiang, and his thoughts were brought back to reality.

He slowly turned his head and his eyes fell on the two young men who were full of respect and expectation.

Although they are young, there is a determination in their eyes, as if they are ready to face future challenges.

Kong Xuan turned his gaze to Luo Shu who was standing beside him, and saw Luo Shu looking at him with a smile.

Luo Shu saw Kong Xuan looking at him and said slowly:

"General Kong, a real man's word is as good as gold. So, look at these two..."

Kong Xuan nodded slightly, he understood what Luo Shu meant.

He looked deeply at Huang Tianhua and Huang Tianxiang, with a hint of satisfaction and relief in his eyes.

Although Huang Tianhua and Huang Tianxiang are young, their talent and potential cannot be underestimated.

"Huang Tianhua, Huang Tianxiang,"

Kong Xuan spoke, his voice gentle but powerful, "From now on, you will be my disciples. I will devote all my life's learning to teach you."

"But you must remember that the path of cultivation is full of hardships and challenges, and requires you to put in sweat and effort."

"I hope you can persevere, keep moving forward, and live up to my expectations."

Huang Tianhua and Huang Tianxiang heard this, their eyes sparkled with excitement, and they bowed in unison:

"I will obey my master's orders!"

Seeing this, Luo Shu also smiled and nodded. He knew that Kong Xuan was a person who was strict with himself and had extremely high demands.

The brothers Huang Tianhua and Huang Tianxiang became Kong Xuan's disciples, so their achievements must not be too low, at least better than what he had previously thought.

Here, Kong Xuan talked to Huang Tianhua and Huang Tianxiang about the rules of the sect and so on.

At this moment, a clear reminder sound suddenly rang out in Luo Shu's sea of consciousness:

[Ding! The host successfully persuaded Kong Xuan to accept Huang Tianhua and Huang Tianxiang as his apprentices. Reward: The treasure of acquired merit and virtue - Hongmeng Measuring Ruler! Has been sent to the system space. ]

This prompt sound made Luo Shu very happy. The corners of his mouth slightly raised, revealing a satisfied smile.

Luo Shu's mind moved, and he couldn't wait to explore the system space, only to see a ruler emitting a faint golden light lying there quietly. It was the Hongmeng Measuring Ruler.

The Hongmeng Measuring Ruler, a treasure of acquired merit, is finally in hand!
