Conferred Gods: Start with a Phoenix clone

Chapter 101: Merit from Heaven
Lu Yue was furious and shouted, "You common people died of the plague. It was fate. The changing seasons and contracting diseases are natural. What does this have to do with me?"

Deng Chanyu pointed at his nose and was about to scold him.

An unexpected reinforcement appeared.

Shennong's voice echoed across the sea: "Heaven's movement is vigorous, and a gentleman should constantly strive for self-improvement; Earth's state is gentle, and a gentleman should be virtuous and support all things! We humans are constantly striving for self-improvement and are not afraid of any hardship, but we are not pigs or dogs, and we cannot allow these traitors to slaughter us at will!"

Fuxi and Huangdi did not say anything, but this was basically equivalent to their agreement.

Shennong was indeed not a person of this era, and had nothing to do with King Zhou of Chaoge City, but he was the Emperor of Earth and could still speak on behalf of the human race!

The Heavenly Dao seemed to be making a judgment. Seeing the golden light growing stronger and stronger, Tongtian Sect Master, who was far away in the Biyou Palace, frowned.

He waved his hand, and a layer of clear air blocked the impending divine will.

That means please wait a moment and let me think about it.

When Lu Yue saw that God's will was blocked, he was overjoyed and kowtowed repeatedly in the direction of Biyou Palace.

"How can this be! Brother Tongtian should have a limit when it comes to protecting his disciples, right?" Nuwa was furious. A red hydrangea flew out from the Nuwa Palace and forcibly shattered the pure energy of Tongtian.

"I am not covering up for you, but I still need to consider it."

Tongtian was also a little angry. The Qingping Sword in his hand emitted a sharp edge that seemed to be able to cut through the ancient world. It flew out of the Biyou Palace and blocked the red ball from a distance. Then he attacked again to block the will of heaven that was about to descend.

As Nuwa prepared to attack again, Yuanshi Tianzun, who was enjoying a meal at Yuxu Palace on Kunlun Mountain, scoffed with amusement, "Junior brother, I've always said that your disciples were shallow. Now it seems they're more than shallow; they're afflicted with karmic obstacles. How could they possibly glimpse the Great Dao?"

"Well done, well done. People in this world are suffering so much, and we really shouldn't add to the disasters. Please, Brother Tongtian, give all living beings a way to survive." The Western religion's Zhunti Sage was eager to watch the fun and immediately stepped forward to make things difficult for Tongtian.

Tongtian Patriarch was a little speechless: "Second brother, fellow Zhunti, does this matter have anything to do with you two?"

Yuanshi Tianzun said confidently, "Jiang Ziya was beaten to death by your outer disciples. It's true that he wasn't very skilled in martial arts, but do you think this has anything to do with me?"

Zhunti naturally had reasons for getting involved in this matter: "My disciple Dizang happened to be involved in this matter at the right time. The common people who suffered this misfortune are truly miserable."

Jiang Ziya and Dizang were both "hidden cards" in the hands of their respective saints, which had been concealed before. Now that their words were spoken, Tongtian Sect Master finally saw through the chaotic secrets of heaven and saw the whole ins and outs of the whole matter.

The matter was not complicated. His disciple Lu Yue released plagues everywhere, starting from Zhu Tianlin defeating Daji, to poisoning the father of Nuwa's disciple Deng Chanyu, and ending with the killing of Jiang Ziya.

Nuwa, Yuanshi Tianzun, Zhunti, Heaven, Hell, Huoyun Cave, the human race, Jiejiao, and Chenjiao, there are so many forces and saints involved in the whole thing.

Tongtian Sect Master frowned. What should he do about this?

Nuwa, Yuanshi and Zhunti, can he, a saint, deal with three saints? Zhunti can always call his senior brother Jieyin Taoist to come over. The brothers and sisters of the Western religion are true brothers and sisters, while the brothers and sisters of the Three Pure Ones were okay before, but now they are just superficial brothers.

If he fights four alone, he will definitely not be able to win.

Even across thousands of mountains and rivers, he could see the mocking corner of Yuanshi Tianzun's mouth. For the sake of his own face, he could not admit defeat.

Things were at a stalemate. Should he fight, lose, or give up? He didn't want to give up.

When they were in trouble, Taiqing Laozi, who was far away in Bajing Palace, also intervened.

After all, we can’t let the two saints in the West laugh at the Three Pure Ones.

The Tai Chi diagram flew out from the Bajing Palace, deflecting Nuwa's red hydrangea and the celestial-reaching Qingping sword. Then, the Tai Chi diagram divided yin and yang, clearing the way for the will of heaven to descend in a ball of golden light. Though the deed remained unfinished and no civilians were saved, the words had been spoken, the great wish had been made, and the heavens naturally responded.

Deng Chanyu had been traveling through time for more than a year, and this was the first time she saw true heavenly merit. The golden light enveloped her, and she felt refreshed for a moment. The heavy burden that had been weighing on her heart because of the catastrophe was instantly lightened by half.

To be honest, it’s really great to make a big wish and enjoy it in advance!

Nuwa whispered to her that saving her merit would be of great use. Deng Chanyu also had some understanding of this. Merit could improve her cultivation, but the improvement was ultimately limited. Could she reach the level of a Daluo Jinxian, or even a Quasi-Sage? She definitely couldn't. It would be better to save it for a critical moment to break through a bottleneck in her cultivation, or to use it as a tool to turn misfortune into fortune.

After the merit, a uniquely shaped jade talisman fell into Deng Chanyu's hands.

There is a [Miraculous Scripture of the Great Supreme Divine Mantra for Eliminating Plague] in the jade talisman. This scripture is not for practicing the original sutra, but a Dharma scripture for the common people to pray, bless and eliminate disasters.

There were many unclear small characters on the back of the jade talisman. Deng Chanyu, the protagonist of the great wish, understood the meaning the moment she saw the characters. She could set up five plague-eliminating messengers: monkey, pig, sheep, snake, and cow to help her eliminate the plague.

In order, they are Ox in the East, Sheep in the West, Snake in the South, Pig in the North, and Monkey in the Center. The five ambassadors are in charge of the five directions respectively.

She thought it was interesting and, with the idea of ​​giving it a try, wrote Jin Dasheng's name in the cow column.

The teahouse was destroyed, and Jin Dasheng's true spirit wandered around Chaoge for two days. When Deng Chanyu arrived, she collected the true spirit in a gourd. When she opened it, the next moment, she felt that the jade talisman in her hand had some connection with Jin Dasheng. Jin Dasheng "jumped ship" from the List of Gods to the Plague-Removing Jade Talisman.

Originally, Jin Dasheng was the "Tianwen Star" in the "Stars and Constellations" team of the Conferred God, similar to Deng Chanyu's "Liuhe Star", but ranked relatively low.

Now she has gone from being a "cold bench seat in a large government office directly under the central government" to being a "member of the project team's expert group", and she doesn't know whether it is good or bad.

The four messengers from the east, west, south and north had relatively low positions and had to accept the leadership of the central plague-eliminating messenger. Deng Chanyu thought about the candidate for the monkey and wrote Yuan Futong's name. This time the jade talisman did not respond. It was not known whether it was rejected by Yuan Futong or the "monkey" was not found.

Before she could study it carefully, Lao Tzu's voice came from the Tai Chi diagram.

"My fellow disciples, God's will is for a plague, but it also means a cure. How about we leave it at that?"

Nuwa pondered for a moment and said, "Brother, your opinion is profound."

Zhunti also said "yes".

Yuanshi Tianzun stopped talking when he saw that there was nothing interesting to watch.

Several saints agreed, and Tongtian Sect Master also felt that this plan gave him a way out and there was no problem.

Just when several saints were about to look away.

Lu Yue suddenly pointed at Deng Chanyu and shouted towards the Biyou Palace, "Master, this person has ruined my path. My disciple's ten thousand years of hard work have all gone to waste in one day. Are you going to let this go? Master, I won't accept this!"

To be honest, his Path of Plague was originally considered one of the Three Thousand Great Paths. This path had a very bad reputation, and even though many powerful beings in the ancient times knew about this path, they were unwilling to be contaminated by too many causes and effects by walking on such a broken path.

There are many great masters in the field of medicine, including the Queen Mother of the West, Shennong, Qingxu Daode Zhenjun, Cihang Taoist, and many other gods who have been involved in this field, not to mention a few saints.

Few people are willing to walk the path of plague, but Master Lu Yue and his disciples are very successful on this path.

Now Deng Chanyu has openly jumped out to oppose it, and Shennong, the saint of humanity, has even used the luck of the human race to help stop it.

The Way of Heaven made its judgment, and Plague Avenue was cut in half, becoming a rugged and thorny path.
