After Mingyu left, Zong Shou started to clean up what he got from the Qin Emperor Sub Tomb.
Beside the coffin, what he got was not only the iron balls and pills. There were also many other good things.
Counting carefully, there were thousands of mind stones which were all Xuan Grade High Grade.
Apart from that, there were two to three magical treasures that were not bad. A jade scepter, a golden robe, a jade crown, they were all emperor style items.
As for the other miscellaneous items, there were even more.
However, there wasn't a single one of them that was as valuable as the Heaven Essence Life Creation Pill.
"There is actually a pill recipe for the Heaven Essence Life Creation Pill? What is the Qin Emperor's intention in making such arrangements? "
Zong Shou couldn't understand, following which he frowned and sighed.
"Tough! If I die in the future, I will have to build a tomb. In the end, there will most probably be people who rob tombs like I did today and rob my family clean. What should I do then? I remember that ten thousand years later, none of those emperor tombs were safe. "
Thinking about that, Zong Shou shook his head. What was he thinking about? The peak of the sword path would allow one to live a long life.
If one day he really died, he would instruct his descendants that it was best not to bury items with him.
His thoughts ran wild until a message talisman flew back. Only then did Zong Shou keep all these messy thoughts, mocking himself. It was that guy. He had already arrived.
Descending from the Royal Demon God Shuttle, as expected he saw Jin Buhui galloping over.
He didn't know what had happened, but his originally plump body had actually slimmed down quite a bit, revealing a vigorous heroic spirit. He was wearing a Grade Four official robe. It was obvious that this fellow had a smooth career in the Taishang Dynasty.
Looking at Zong Shou, Jin Buhui's face was filled with surprise.
Zong Shou smiled and went up to welcome him.
※ ※ ※
A jug of wine, two wine cups, seven to eight dishes.
Beside the road, within a wine shop, Zong Shou and Jin Buhui sat opposite each other and drank.
Those dishes were all ordinary and not delicious at all. Only the wine was given to him by Lei Dong, Zong Shou's treasured collection, so it was still acceptable.
This tavern was also extremely simple and crude, with no ventilation on all four sides.
However, since they were close friends, they didn't care about such things.
"I never would have thought that a greedy fatty like you would actually be able to become a fourth rank high official one day."
Zong Shou drank his wine while carefully looking at Jin Buhui, especially his official robe.
"He's actually an imperial censor, a Deputy Imperial Censor. He's really something!"
A Fourth Grade Imperial Censor Assistant Minister was already one of the highest ranking officials in Taishang.
This was different from his Da Qian, which ruled over only a few prefectures.
The Taishang ruled over dozens of prefectures and hundreds of provinces, with an area of seventy thousand li from north to south and one hundred thousand li from east to west.
The Assistant Censor had the responsibility to impeach and supervise the millions of officials in the Shang Dynasty.
"This position isn't what I want. Let's not talk about it. If I had a choice, I would rather cultivate in the sect and have peace. "
Sighing, Jin Buhui smiled, "Who would have thought that in just two years, Zong Shou's cultivation would reach the peak of the Spirit Realm? You are invincible in the Gaia World. Every time my senior and junior brothers talk about you, they are filled with respect! "
He said in a depressed tone, "I heard that you are going to leave the Cloud World? Lei Dong left and now you are going to leave too. My few senior brothers have all left. Now, I am the only one left in the Cloud World. Every time I think about it, I feel really lonely … "
"It's only twenty years! I don't believe that you will be lonely. "
Zong Shou broke out into a laugh and shook his head. Then, his expression turned serious.
"I heard that half a year ago, you wrote three memorials. One was to impeach the aristocratic families and nobles, who were breaking the law and no one could stop them. There were even people who colluded with the local officials to privately raise their own troops. The second one was to impeach the aristocratic families for taking control of the imperial examinations, causing the country's talent selection ceremony to be useless and making it difficult for poor people to become officials. The third one suggested the Imperial Court to change the rewards of titles. From now on, they wouldn't give land and would only use money. So, I wanted to ask, have you gone crazy and don't want to live anymore? "
The moment these words were said, the atmosphere within the wine shop instantly became really depressed.
"You really came for this matter!"
Jin Buhui kept silent for a moment and then mocked himself. He looked at the robe of the Grade-4 Imperial Censor on his body.
"If it wasn't for these few memorials, how do you think someone like me who barely got into the top two could get the position of a Grade-4 high official? This is the reward that his majesty is giving me … "
"You were also pushed to the front of the storm!"
Zong Shou's eyes shone brightly as he looked opposite him, "Do you know the outcome? If that Taishang emperor wins, it is okay, but if he has no choice but to compromise with those aristocratic families or lose. You, Jin Buhui, will be thrown out to calm everyone down? Even if you win, do you have the confidence to avoid the attacks of those aristocratic families? These huge families have operated in the Central Continent for thousands of years, their power is intertwined and numerous interests entangled. Do you know how many people within Taishang hate you to the bone? "
It wasn't a possibility but a certainty! Taishang's Yuancheng emperor was a rare wise ruler. Unfortunately, he didn't have long to live. At this moment, although the battle was intense, there would be a time when the aristocratic families would stop and make peace.
Based on what he knew, because of this internal conflict, the Taishang's strength was wasted and the aristocratic families were at odds with one another.
Under the attacks of the outer region alien races, they swiftly collapsed and caused chaos.
In the following tens of years, they relied on Kong Yao to support them.
However, this future pillar, the unparalleled famous general who won all battles, was dug out by him.
The Jin Buhui in his memory was really smart. He didn't look like a person who would take risks for others.
This kind of thing should be avoided like the plague.
"Someone instructed me to do so, I didn't do it willingly."
At this moment, Jin Buhui laughed bitterly, "Moreover, I really don't like these aristocratic families! If one searched the history books, one would know that these ten thousand years, if it wasn't for these families causing chaos and causing chaos in the region. The Central Cloud Continent wouldn't be in chaos every thousand years. Every time the people wouldn't be able to make a living and billions would die. In the past, I didn't like how the imperial court suppressed my sects. Only after entering the court did I know that they had no choice. Sects, aristocratic families, and even those factionless cultivators are all thieves of the country! "
The worry on Zong Shou's face grew thicker and thicker. His eyes were cold, "You didn't do it willingly, did that Yuancheng emperor force you?"
Jin Buhui avoided the question and didn't reply, expressionlessly saying, "It shouldn't have reached such a level! Normal censors wouldn't dare to do those memorials. Only I, Jin Buhui, have Haoxuan Sect as my shield. Only then do I have the rights. With the sect backing me, even if something happens in the future, it wouldn't be too much. At most, you will just remove me from my position. Isn't that what I want? "
Zong Shou opened his mouth and wanted to say that when the time came, even Haoxuan Sect might not be able to protect him!
In the end, he forcefully suppressed it and kept silent.
Actually, what was done was done and Jin Buhui had already made up his mind. It was useless to persuade him now.
However, he felt really uneasy in his heart and also had a bad feeling.
In the end, he could only sigh. He raised the wine flask and poured another cup for Jin Buhui.
"If you have no choice, you can quickly head to Da Qian to hide. Within my country, no matter who it is, they won't be able to do anything to you! "
Jin Buhui instantly laughed out loud. Haoxuan Sect could be his shield. Da Qian Zong Shou, the Blood Sword Monster Lord who suppressed a world, weren't they also one of the things he relied on?
The two of them continued to speak but they didn't mention the Taishang court as well as that aristocratic family matter.
They just chatted casually, talking about everything under the sun. 40% of the time was spent on Zong Shou teaching Jin Buhui martial arts and spells, solving some of his questions and problems.
Zong Shou felt that although this fellow was still stubborn about cultivation and money, he was distracted.
However, he was more or less distracted and paid attention to the various parts of Great Shang. If not, his martial path improvement wouldn't be so slow.
Based on what Jin Buhui said, since he was an official, as the Imperial Censor, a Grade Four Lower High Official, he had to be worthy of his position. In that case, he had to live up to his status and do something for the common people.
After all, he was a Confucian disciple. In this chaotic world, he couldn't just focus on himself.
The two of them chatted casually for a day until dawn before Jin Buhui said goodbye and left.
He rode that Grade Five mount and flew back to the Imperial City. He was an official and if he rushed back now, he could still participate in the daily Taishang morning court.
Zong Shou sat alone in the wine shop and looked opposite in a daze.
He knew that his friend was falling step by step into the abyss, but he was unable to pull him out.
Such frustration and anxiousness couldn't be described with words.
In the next moment, Zong Shou looked to the side.
"Since you are here, why don't you come in? Hiding at the side and eavesdropping, isn't that a little beneath your identity … "
The moment these words were said, two people appeared outside. Two figures appeared outside the tavern. One of them was dressed like a Confucian scholar. The other was an old Taoist.
"Ruler has such sharp senses!"
Without any awkwardness of being seen through, the Taoist walked over confidently and bowed towards Zong Shou, "I am Zhongxuan, greetings Da Qian Ruler!"
The person in front of him, regardless of whether it was his status as the ruler of a country or his identity as the disciple of Saint Dragon Shadow, was worthy of his respect.
Zong Shou's lips curled up in disdain. What sharp senses?
If a God Realm Cultivator wanted to hide something, how could he notice it?
This Zhongxuan was simply too close. Apart from that, he was probing.
"So it is the Taishang Grand Teacher, Zhongxuan!"
Lazy to bother, Zong Shou directly asked, "You heard what I said just now?"
This person definitely came earlier than when he sensed him.
"Of course, I heard it!"
Zhongxuan nodded his head, "Ruler is the Ruler of a country and is pretty much invincible in the Cloud World. To actually come outside of our Taishang Imperial City, I have to be careful. Ruler, please forgive me! "
Zong Shou smiled, his eyes squinting and flashing a dangerous glow, "Since you heard it, that's good! Jin Buhui is my best friend, we are very close. Grand Teacher, please tell your Majesty that no matter what you are planning, you can't hurt him at all. If not, I won't let this matter rest! "
