"Rotten Document Mister" Kong Hui is a member of Jianmu.
It comes from Kong family, one of the ten Grandmasterss in the Northern Song Dynasty.
Because he had been familiar with scriptures since he was a child and had read the scriptures in the Kong family library, he was called "Rotten Document Mister". Later he entered the palace and became the emperor's master, and also went to Mang Mountain to lay out the Shangqing Palace.
Due to his status, he must be one of the people fishing for the tripod.
Everyone stayed at Zhangqiu Town to cooperate with Commandery Commandant Office and find out the information about this person.
After hearing the good news, Li Yan's expression remained unchanged. Instead, he turned to look to the side, "Master Chen, these two are..."
There were two other people who came back with Chen San.
A middle-aged man in rich clothes, with a fat figure and several layers of chin, was out of breath while walking, with a smile on his face, his eyes narrowed to the point of squinting, and he kept wiping the sweat on his forehead with a handkerchief.
The other one is a young scholar, dressed in a green shirt, with a face like a crown jewel, a straight body, a gentle and elegant temperament, although he behaves politely when he comes in, his eyes are full of curiosity.
It's okay to say that a middle-aged man is just an ordinary person.
But this young scholar is actually a monk, and it is difficult for Confucianism Righteous Qi to hide it.
"Oh, let me introduce you."
Chen San quickly said, "These two are from Kong family, and they are all our own people."
Li Yan When I heard it, I understood it instantly.
Before Chen San left, he said that someone among Kong family cooperated with the imperial court and was Commandery Commandant Office's spy.
But judging from his attitude, he is obviously not an important person.
This is not surprising, since the emperor of the Han Dynasty came to Lu to worship Confucius, and named Kong Teng the enshrined king, and the Shenzhou Dynasty canonized Confucius's descendants, it has never stopped.
It has developed to this day, and has been passed down from generation to generation, spreading its branches and leaves, and there are countless disciples in the next generation.
Within the clan there are poor and rich, high and low.
If you are willing to be an informant for the imperial court, your status will not be much higher.
Not to mention the clan, the entire Kong family is in decline.
Yansheng Duke has been famous for too long, longer than many dynasties, and decay is inevitable.
In the past hundred years, two other things have happened.
First, at the end of the Song Dynasty, Golden Horde Wolf Country invaded. At that time, Yansheng Duke risked the disapproval of the world and went directly to the grassland royal court, which was regarded as a great shame and humiliation by Divine Land Confucianism.
Although he was later liquidated and killed, Kong family's reputation also plummeted.
When Great Xuan Dynasty was established, he continued to canonize Kong family because he had gained the country unfairly.
Needless to say, another group of dandy boys were created.
The previous generation Yansheng Duke not only committed evil deeds, but even said shamelessly after drinking, "There are only three families in the world. Mine is just Dragon Tiger Mountain Zhang and Jinling Xiao. Dragon Tiger Mountain Zhang Tao has morale, and Jinling Xiao has a bad reputation."
The current emperor is a man who can't get rid of the dirt in his eyes.
These words reached the capital, and several imperial edicts were issued to denounce him. Kong family was so frightened that he sent someone to apologize overnight.
Yansheng Duke took the initiative to abdicate and make way for others, and things were settled.
It is said that today's Kong family Yansheng Duke has average abilities and knowledge, and is an old-fashioned person who doesn't know how to adapt.
The only advantage is that he knows how to straighten his family's style and try his best to maintain Kong family's dignity.
Even so, the reputation of Kong family is no longer what it used to be.
Among the great Confucian scholars from all over the north and south, many even wrote poems directly to ridicule him.
But no one dares to look down upon Kong family in Jianghu and Xuanmen.
The reason is very simple. There is also a giant Buddha in Kong family today.
It is Lu HongYuan, one of the ten Grandmasters.
He was originally Kong family's son-in-law, who was looked down upon by others, but he was extremely qualified, both civil and military, and founded Mingde Martial Hall, taking over the banner of Confucianism's facade.
When we were young and Divine Fist Society Huo Yin now, we were called the two prides.
Kong family With this Buddha, no one can easily mess with him.
Thinking of this, Li Yan asked, "It turns out to be Kong family Gao Xian, who is his descendant?"
Kong family is "the first family in the world" and pays great attention to seniority. Nowadays, most of them are "Gong, Yan, Cheng, Hong, Wen, Zhen, Shang and Yin", and they were named after the emperor of the Daxuan Dynasty.
"I Kong Zhenshan."
The obese middle-aged man wiped his sweat and said with a flattering smile on his face, "I can't read well, so I was running around since I was a child. The clan is in charge of some industries in Jinan, so I can get access to some things."
"After receiving the order from Lord Chen, I immediately looked for an opportunity and went into the library to search. But Young Hero Li also knew that when Golden Horde Wolf Country invaded, half of the library was burned down by fire. Many things were difficult to find, and it was at the expense of my son..."
As he said that, he quickly gave the young man next to him a vicious look.
The young man had no choice but to step forward and clasp his fists and said, "Kong Shangzhao, I have met all the heroes."
"Kong Hui was a rare grandmaster of Kong family back then, but it was a taboo among the clan. Even without the fire, a lot of information about him was destroyed."
Li Yan frowned slightly, "Oh, why?"
The young scholar Kong Shangzhao replied, "His talent was unparalleled. He became Divine Land Top Ten Grandmasters in his middle age. He even entered the Song Dynasty and became the emperor's master, but later his behavior became more and more extreme."
"Back then, a Wudang disciple came to reprimand him, saying that he was colluding with the ghost sect. Although there was no conclusive evidence, the Wudang disciple disappeared mysteriously..."
"Later Great Song Ghost Sect became rampant, Divine Land Xuanmen worked together to encircle and suppress him, and several masters worked together to hunt down Kong Hui. They did not publicize it in a big way, but the clan knew that it was true, so they tried their best to cover it up."
"There is also a rumor among other races that when Golden Horde Wolf Country invaded and Yansheng Duke took refuge, this person was the one who led the way..."
Li Yan narrowed his eyes slightly, "Didn't you say that the clues were burned? You know a lot..."
"Young Hero Li Don't get me wrong!"
Kong Zhenshan, who was next to him, saw something was wrong and quickly explained, "My son has a photographic memory. He has read a lot of books since he was a child, and he is also good at peeling off cocoons."
"Many things were pieced together by him from those scratchy records."
"Oh, do you still have this ability?"
Wang Dao Xuan asked a few questions as soon as he was interested.
They are all vague records in history, and there are different opinions.
The young scholar Kong Shangzhao answers questions fluently and always gives convincing answers.
Chen San on the side was also a little surprised and glanced at Kong Zhenshan.
On the way, the fat man didn't say anything about it.
Kong Zhenshan sighed, first confessed to Chen San, and then looked at his son, with eyes full of hatred that iron could not be transformed into steel, "To be honest, I came here this time to shamelessly ask you to send my son to the capital to avoid disaster."
"What did he commit?" Li Yan asked.
Kong Zhenshan looked bitter and told the reason.
It turns out that this young man Kong Shangzhao is from a well-known family, and he has been practicing in the Mingde Martial Hall since he was a child.
His qualifications and talents are all Higher Vehicle, and he is also good at analyzing classics.
But unfortunately, this boy had no interest in Confucianism. Instead, he was obsessed with miscellaneous studies. He often said many treasonous and unethical things, and gradually he was not liked by his teachers.
A few days ago, due to an injustice, Yansheng Duke's son was beaten half to death.
Although Yansheng Duke was very particular about family conduct and severely punished his son, the hatred was forged.
With the character of those Kong family descendants, they will definitely take revenge in a roundabout way.
Kong Zhenshan has worked hard all his life. Although he is a disciple of Kong family, he is always looked down upon by others.
The proudest person is his own son. Naturally, he is afraid that the white-haired man will give away the black-haired man.
It's not unreasonable for him to be so afraid.
Yansheng Duke is not only the host of the Confucius Temple sacrifices, but also enjoys privileges such as tax exemption and hereditary land sacrifices.
Today, Kong family sacrificial fields have spread across many provinces, and Luzhou alone has more than 320,000 acres of fertile land.
Qufu has become Kong family's "autonomous territory". Clan Rules is greater than Wang Fa and the real local emperor.
"Just send it to the capital?" Li Yan asked.
"That's right!"
Kong Zhenshan's face was filled with joy and he quickly said, "I have some arrangements in the capital. When I go there, I will let this kid stay anonymous and stay there for a few years, and then come back after the news has passed."
After saying that, he took out a wooden box from his arms and begged, "Although I am not Xuan Gate People, I also know the name Twelve Yuan Chen. Here are 30,000 taels of silver, which is my life savings. Please help me."
Chen San next to him saw this and just kept silent.
To be honest, he also took a fancy to the talent of this Kong family disciple.
But he didn't want to deal with the trouble that came with it.
Kong Zhenshan deliberately concealed it, obviously thinking that he would refuse if he found out, and would not even bring them to see Li Yan.
"That's fine."
Li Yan was moved in his heart and nodded in agreement.
Firstly, I was on my way, and secondly, I wanted to use this young man's ability to help him analyze some information.
Especially regarding the evolution of lay gods.
Thinking of this, Li Yan turned to look at Kong Shangzhao, "Do you know the subsequent information about 'Rotten Document Mister' Kong Hui?"
Kong Shangzhao handed over his hand and said, "Since Southern Song Dynasty was destroyed and Golden Horde Wolf Country invaded, there is no information about Kong Hui. After all, several masters were chasing him at that time. Even if Kong family was in the wolf country, they did not dare to protect him."
"Okay..."
Li Yan was helpless and shook his head slightly.
He knew that there was no hope of finding clues to Kong Hui from the current Kong family.
Kong family There is a master in charge, and after so many years, the other party has probably been reincarnated, changed his appearance, and is hiding somewhere.
Zhizhi~
At this moment, Rat One in the leather bag on Lu San's waist suddenly screamed.
"Coming!"
Li Yan murderous intent's eyes flashed and he winked.
Sha LiFei Blowed out the candles and everyone dispersed immediately.
Even Chen San told Kong family and his son not to talk and to stay in the room with peace of mind.
It was now Zi Hour, and the night was getting darker and darker.
But in the woods outside Chen's house, Yin Wind suddenly rose.
"Ouch~"
The shadows of the trees were whirling, and there was a faint sound of Tiger's Roar.
Outside the Chen Mansion, there was also a secret whistle installed by Cao Gang. When the sound was heard, his scalp immediately became numb.
But I saw two green "tiger eyes" in the forest flickering in and out, but no tiger body was seen.
Bang!
Just as the whistle was about to blow as a warning, a ball of phosphorus fire exploded from the top of the tree.
In the blue smoke, a striking white-fronted tiger appears.
That head was as tall as three people. With a sweep of its huge claws, large branches fell off.
Yin Wind is everywhere, and the cold air is spreading outward.
Sha LiFei suddenly appeared from the roof, holding Divine Firearm, he was about to pull the trigger.
But Li Yan frowned and raised his hand to stop him.
"Something's wrong, it's people!"
With his current Divine Ability, he can also break through the opponent's illusions.
He was obviously a thin old man, using thin steel wires to control a tiger puppet dipped in white phosphorus, and in conjunction with ventriloquism, he made frightening Tiger's Roar sounds.
As he spoke, Li Yan's ears twitched and he suddenly jumped towards the backyard.
"It's to lure the snake out of its hole, you go and catch the person!"
Sha LiFei didn't talk nonsense and jumped from the roof.
While in mid-air, he put Divine Firearm behind his back, and when he landed on the ground, he had already pulled out two Flintlock Firearm.
The one who moves faster than him is Wu Ba.
There was only a loud bang, and the ground was splashed with mud. Wu Ba's huge body jumped out, stepped on Wading Through Mud Steps, stepped left and right, and came to the woods, suddenly leaning sideways.
Click!
The big tree as thick as a bucket was directly knocked down by him.
Tigers, shadows, and smoke all dissipate.
There was a muffled groan from the tree, but a thin figure was seen falling down, but stopped strangely in mid-air, waving its arms, and several sharp steel wires swirled around Wu Ba's neck.
The opponent's kung fu is not weak, and he can also use such strange weapons.
Once entangled in the wire, the body may be separated immediately.
However, he made the wrong decision.
Wu Ba chuckled, grabbed the steel wire directly with his iron-gauntleted palm, and pulled it down suddenly.
Bang!
An old man fell hard from the air, spitting blood.
Before he could react, Wu Ba grabbed his neck.
On the other side, Li Yan also came to the backyard.
But in the dark night, three thin figures quietly emerged from the culvert at the base of the backyard wall.
The entrance to the culvert was no bigger than a bowl of ocean, but the three people's bones were rattling and they got through easily. If Lu Three Overseers hadn't been watching, they might have been able to hide it.
These three people were all half-grown children.
They were nimble and swung their fingers while leaping out.
Whoosh!
The medicinal powder is shot out like a sharp arrow.
Several Cao Gang disciples fell down in response, obviously some kind of powerful Bewitching Drug.
And these children also went straight to Wang Dao Xuan room.
There, Xu Fu Bamboo Strips found by Li Yan and others was placed.
But at this moment, the three of them stopped in unison.
But Li Yan had fallen from the roof and blocked the road coldly.
"Hard stubble!"
"Use that thing!"
With fierce expressions on their faces, the three teenagers took out the iron ball from their waists and threw it at them.
Li Yan As soon as he sniffed his nose, he could smell the pungent smell of kerosene.
There is also a mechanism in front of the iron chain ball, hiding phosphorus fire, which will burn if it collides.
It seems that the Bao Hua Book Company fire was caused by these people.
Looking at the three iron balls flying towards him, Li Yan's expression did not change.
But several young people were overjoyed.
They have seen the power of this thing before.
No matter what you use to resist it, it will explode and burn suddenly, making it difficult for ghosts and gods to prevent it.
However, something horrified them happened.
Li Yan just raised his left hand, drew a circle, and grabbed the three iron balls in his hand without any explosion.
How is it possible?
The three teenagers felt their scalps numb, as if they had seen a ghost.
Of course they don't know that Li Yan has stepped into Pellet Strength, and integrating Undying Imprint Method with all his strength can directly resolve it, so that the iron ball's mechanism will no longer be triggered.
"Let's go!"
The three teenagers looked at each other, turned around and ran away.
They knew that this was definitely not someone they could deal with.
However, as soon as he turned around, his whole body stiffened and he looked at a woman walking out of the darkness in horror.
It was Long Yan'er, and they were easily subdued with Gu Arts.
Soon, all the intruders were caught.
Cao Gang's disciples raised torches, tied them with iron chains, and threw them to the ground.
"Huh?"
Chen San suddenly said, "Isn't this Wuqiao's Yang Lao Hai..."
