From Under One Person: Sincere Journey Through the Heavens

Even if we could, everyone would have to go on stage and give a speech, and who knows how long that would take!

"It's alright."

Jiang Liu, confident in his abilities, cleared his throat and feigned hesitation, "Where is the vice president?"

"exist!"

Lu Jin, who had just lost a bet with Zhang Zhiwei, hurriedly put the ten silver dollars in his palm back into his pocket, ran up to Jiang Liu, and pretended to kneel down and clasp his hands in greeting, saying, "Big brother, little brother~ is here!"

What are you doing?

The river flows silently.

"Isn't this just to cooperate with your performance, Brother Jiang?"

Lu Jin stood up and laughed, completely disregarding the match.

The audience members offstage also smiled knowingly.

If Lu Jin hadn't suddenly pulled this stunt!

If Jiang Liu and Lu Jin hadn't just returned from abroad!

They almost forgot that the two of them were actually magicians in the Ghost Hand Wong Choi opera troupe! They had also performed on stage with theater owner Cha many times!

This scene only fueled a flicker of anger in Kong Yuru's eyes—Jiang Liu… no! The entire Confucian Society didn't take the Kong family seriously!

They'd been deliberately promoting it for a month...

They must have deliberately deceived all six of them, including Zhang Enpu!

"Go find a basket of soybeans and two large baskets."

Jiang Liu didn't care what Kong Yuru was thinking; he simply gave instructions to Lu Jin.

"President, Vice President, I have soybeans here! And I have big baskets too!"

Before Lu Jin could even look for him, a man jumped over the crowd. He was a grain merchant on Cultural Street and a member of the Confucian Association.

He was seen carrying a basket the size of a water vat, filled with soybeans, in one hand and holding two empty baskets in the other, landing steadily without spilling a single soybean.

Lu Jin stepped forward, paid the money, carried over the soybeans and basket, and then cupped his hands and sang, "Brother Jiang, the soybeans and basket have been found!"

"..."

Jiang Liu was silent for a moment, then nodded and said, "Okay, give them to everyone here."

"I understand... huh?"

After agreeing, Lu Jin was taken aback. "Me alone?"

"if not?"

Jiang Liu looked completely at ease.

With a twitch of his lips, though helpless, Lu Jin could only use his mental scanning skill to pinpoint the location of everyone present. With a stride, a twist of his waist, and a turn of his hand, the thousands of soybeans in the large basket rose into the air under the influence of his magnetic field.

Sometimes it transforms into a snake, sometimes into a dragon.

The people watching from the sidelines were completely dumbfounded!

That's exactly the effect Lu Jin wanted!

Only by captivating the audience can you make them stop in their tracks and stop wandering around aimlessly.

immediately!

With a wave of his hands, the soybeans scattered like stars, hovering in front of each spectator—

The audience members couldn't help but reach out and take the soybeans in their hands.

"Reporting to my elder brother, I have successfully completed my mission!"

After completing all this, Lu Jin, still a master of acting, knelt on one knee and clasped his hands in a fist salute to Jiang Liu.

"Alright! If you keep going like this, someone's going to go crazy!"

Jiang Liu pretended to kick out, which startled Lu Jin so much that she jumped up in a panic and quickly returned to Zhang Zhiwei's side.

"Where are my ten silver dollars?"

Zhang Zhiwei reached out his hand.

"Didn't I help Brother Jiang buy soybeans and baskets?" Lu Jin said confidently. "Didn't you see that too?"

"Ten silver dollars for just this little thing?"

Zhang Zhiwei was speechless, but he stopped and said, "Forget it, I'm too lazy to argue with you. I'll take a good look at the Lu family's fun later."

Upon hearing this, Lu Jin was surprised and asked, "You know how to appreciate music?"

"will not."

Zhang Zhiwei grinned and said leisurely, "But Confucian music is different from ordinary music. Ordinary people might not be able to hear anything, but those who cultivate can feel the immense power originating from heaven and earth..."

Don't expect me to explain it clearly; I've only read about it in miscellaneous books and have never actually seen it before.

Buddha, immortal, saint.

Although the divine is listed last in the alphabetical order, even immortals and Buddhas must obey the divine's command!

"If I have the chance to see it today, I must seize the opportunity!"

"Then Wang Baoling is doomed to lose later?" Lu Jin asked nervously.

"Oh, worried about your girlfriend?"

Zhang Zhiwei put his arm around Lu Jin's neck and laughed, "Don't worry, ordinary people can't hear the nuances... Besides, the people here can all be considered supporters of the Confucian Association, right?"

Although it was a behind-the-scenes operation, who told the Kong family to "challenge" first?

Lu Jin: "→_→"

# Chapter 1066 Confucian Music

"Everyone has a soybean in their hand. After the fun part of the competition, you can put the soybean into the corresponding basket according to your preference."

"The basket on the left represents Wang Baoling!"

"The basket on the right represents Yan Keqin!"

At this point, Jiang Liu asked Kong Yuru, "Does Mr. Kong have any objections?"

"none."

What else could he say?

In this match, since Song and Zhang Enpu could not be the referees, the people outside the field had to be the referees... However, Kong Yuru was confident that the music of his Kong family's sacrificial ceremony to Heaven, with its elegant and correct sounds, would surely make the common people feel a sense of awe!

Furthermore.

He didn't believe that all the people of Yuhang would vote for the Confucian Association!

"If that's the case—"

Jiang Liu said to Ru Song and Zhang Enpu, "Gentlemen, you may now announce the start of the 'Music' competition."

Ru Song then realized what was happening and, together with Zhang Enpu, announced, "Please welcome both orchestras to the stage!"

The Confucian music troupe consisted of 64 people, half men and half women, with similar ages. The men were handsome and the women were elegant. They were all dressed in ancient costumes and held ancient musical instruments, such as the se, sheng, and chi. They also brought out the chime bells and chime stones.

The Confucian Music Ensemble consisted of 65 people, including men, women, and children, arranged in eight square formations. All of them wore red costumes with gold patterns, and each one looked festive.

The appearance of the sixty-fifth person left everyone except the members of the Confucian Society speechless.

The person was about two meters tall, had four arms, and had blue skin all over, as if sculpted from crystal. He was slender and graceful, dressed in a white dress, with a peacock feather draped over his shoulder.

Especially those four arms...

Is it really a human being?

This person is none other than the Ghost Mother.

Since she used the Boundless Demon Eye and unleashed its power, these four arms have become part of her true form, rather than a kind of magic, which is why she is different from ordinary people.

Of course, its crystal-sculpted body alone is enough to be worshipped as a god in temples, let alone its four arms.

But Jiang Liu somehow managed to train this "god" into a worldly woman who could "descend to earth" to perform dances for the people.

The demon mother was naturally unwilling.

But the tight collar around her neck would make her willing from the bottom of her heart!

"President Jiang, if we are competing in music, it is a skill to move heaven and earth with our voices. But to ask an extraordinary person to use their supernatural abilities, is that going too far?"

Kong Yuru asked.

"Of course I won't use any special abilities."

Jiang Liu laughed and pointed at the Ghost Mother, saying, "That person is the Ghost Cave Mother of the Western Demon Kingdom, the only divine being in the world, a true 'superhuman,' born with four long arms and skin made of crystal, and has not yet used any superpowers!"

The reason I joined my Confucian Society was because I went to Kunlun in XZ last time and saw her transform into a peacock, causing trouble, harming people and committing evil deeds. She even wanted to eat me. So I broke through her back and jumped out of her belly, intending to kill her. But Zhang Zhiwei stopped me, saying that I came out of her belly and she was like my mother.

That's why I spared her life and taught her to bring joy to all living beings.

Upon hearing this, Ru Song and Zhang Enpu were stunned. Their brows furrowed, their lips pursed, and their eyes narrowed, their expressions resembling those of the "subway, old man, cell phone" meme from later generations. They both felt that Jiang Liu had gone a bit too far.

Did they not read "Journey to the West"?

This is a contest between the Confucian Society and the Confucian school!

This is not a stand-up comedy show!

Kong Yuru was so angry that her lips trembled.

Even if everything Jiang Liu said was true, in his eyes, he was clearly treating them all like fools!

That so-called "ghost mother" must be some kind of superhuman who has used special abilities!

It's even highly likely that they are Western supernatural beings!

The Confucius family was also aware of the methods of Western supernatural beings, namely alchemy, which, compared to Qi cultivation, could cause all sorts of incredible changes in the physical body!

"If you don't believe me, you can go and check, but only for women." Jiang Liu didn't mind at all, after all—
