Conferred Gods: Start with a Phoenix clone

Chapter 1076 Deng Jiugong's Retirement Life

Deng Jiugong walked over from a distance and said, "I can see you don't know how to take care of a child. Come here, Xiaowu, let grandpa hold you."

Xiaowu couldn't even call mom and dad clearly, but he could always call grandpa clearly. At this moment, he showed an innocent smile and opened his arms in Daji's arms: "Grandpa! Grandpa, hug me!"

Daji quickly handed the child to Lao Deng.

Xiaowu touched Lao Deng's beard with very small movements. Lao Deng attached great importance to his two-foot-long beard. In the court of the Han Dynasty, long beards were considered beautiful. Seeing his granddaughter carefully flattering his beard, he couldn't help laughing.

Deng Jiugong is no longer the same person he was when he established the Han Kingdom by relying on brotherhood and in-laws. Now he has a strong aura, and his every move shows the power of an emperor.

The maids, fairy children, iron-eating beasts, five-colored fat cows, and even the ghost messenger who came to deliver official documents to Daji in Taiyuan Cave all saluted.

This respect is not for Mr. Deng's martial arts, but for his identity.

After ten years on the throne, the old man couldn't bear it anymore and simply faked his death and abdicated. Now Deng Xiu is the emperor.

The old man lay there pretending to be dead in the morning and arrived at Mount Emei in the afternoon.

Being the ruler of a country is really too tiring. It is far less comfortable than being a pure military general, and it is meaningless to always occupy that position.

In this day and age, officials, especially high-ranking ones, are all intelligent. As he sat on the throne, his ministers pondered daily, "The First Emperor is ninety-one years old this year. Will he be able to open his eyes tomorrow?" The First Emperor is ninety-two this year. "That's about right, right?"
Old Deng himself felt that he was in good health and his swordplay and archery skills were still as good as they were in the past. He could work for another fifty years without any problem. He was just afraid that if he wasn't careful, he would outwork all the smart ministers to death.

I'd rather not continue to fight with you guys and abdicate!
Deng Chanyu took her father to Huoyun Cave, and her future assignment would be there.

There's a problem with the address. Almost all emperors and generals of human origin can be linked to the Yellow Emperor. So what should Deng Jiugong call the Yellow Emperor? Has the Deng family kid met his great-grandfather, the great-grandfather?
Deng Chanyu and Nuwa have a real master-disciple relationship, and she and Deng Jiugong have a pure father-daughter relationship, which is indisputable.

By this calculation, Fuxi and Deng Jiugong are of the same generation.

After some discussion inside Huoyun Cave, they decided to just follow the local customs.

Fuxi, Shennong and Huangdi lived in different periods, and their status in the human race was also different, but when they arrived at Huoyun Cave, they always called each other brothers, and now when they arrived at Deng Jiugong, they are still brothers.

The Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors together made up exactly eight people. When he was added in, he became the ninth. People below him still called him "Jiugong" while Fuxi and the others called him "Jiudi".

Nine is the maximum number, that’s it, no more people will be added in the future.

This ranking is a bit vague. For example, Emperor Ku never went to Huoyun Cave, and Emperor Zhuanxu and Emperor Shun were also reincarnated there.

They were reincarnated, but their positions in the human race remained. Deng Jiugong couldn't squeeze out the five emperors before him. He had no objection to being ranked ninth. He was the ninth in the Deng family clan, and he was still the ninth among the human emperors. What was this? This was God's will!
It is normal for a ninth person to appear among the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors, and it does not disgrace him at all.

Deng Jiugong held his granddaughter and played with her for a while. He liked her very much. She looked smart, not shy at all, and had a pure smile. He had a lot of grandsons, granddaughters, great-grandsons, and great-granddaughters in Luoyi, but none of them were as friendly as this one. The smiles of those grandsons were full of deep meaning, which was boring to think about.

"Take the child out to play." He handed the child to Xiao Qingluan beside him, and the older girl pushed the stroller and took the child down the mountain to play.

Xiaowu waved to his grandfather, and Deng Jiugong responded with a smile.

Deng Jiugong came here for something. After the child left, he asked Deng Chanyu: "Is there any news about the Jingzhou Ding?" An important basis for the Deng family to transform the family into a country is that they have the Yuzhou Ding, which symbolizes the Central Plains. The whereabouts of the other eight tripods are unknown.

The good fortune of humanity was severely damaged by King Zhou. Even if Deng Jiugong reunified the world, the good fortune of humanity on the First Emperor would not be even one-tenth of that of King Zhou during his heyday. It still had some deterrent effect on immortals, but not as great as before.

This luck is on a downward trend. Every time the human race experiences a civil war, the luck of the race will be greatly reduced. This is also an important reason why Bo Yikao hopes to use the Taiyi Wheel to reduce the intensity of the war and give the people a glimmer of hope.

Deng Chanyu didn't care about the continuation of the Han Dynasty. It would have nothing to do with her after three generations. Old Deng hoped that it would last as long as possible. He thought that if he could find Dayu's Nine Cauldrons, could he extend his dynasty for a few more years?

Deng Chanyu felt that the Nine Cauldrons had nothing to do with the dynasty's fortune, but Old Deng had already "retired" and retired people were prone to mental illnesses, so you had to find him something to do. If he wanted to find the cauldron, then let him go.

The mortals in the Conferred Gods period were different from the mortals in real history in her previous life. It was not uncommon for mortals to kill human immortals and earthly immortals.

Throwing this into the world of online novels, the mortals here are equivalent to martial arts masters at the second level of Qi Refining, or the great knights in the Western fantasy wizarding world.

Deng Jiugong has good weapons, good armor, good mounts, and he also has good luck in humanity, so beating an earthly immortal is like a piece of cake for him.

He could go out on his own and nothing would happen to him.

The Nine Cauldrons are closely connected to the Central Plains' land veins. Deng Chanyu could not divine accurate information, and would not ask Nuwa about this matter.

She gave some of the information she had collected to Deng Jiugong.

"I have a friend named Zhong Huangzi. He once saw something that looked like a Jingzhou Ding in an ancient ruin, but this information may not be accurate."

Deng Jiugong was very happy. It was good to have a clue. He was just afraid that there would be no clues.

"Okay, mark it on the map for me."

"it is good."

Deng Jiugong suddenly thought of something and asked, "My son, can I go and see Brother Huang?"

Lao Deng and Lao Huang had a deep friendship. Without their sincere cooperation, the Han Kingdom could not have been established.

We've been friends for decades, and now you're saying, "He's forgotten his memories of the human world?" What does that mean?
Deng Chanyu didn't know how to explain the relationship between Emperor Dongyue and Huang Feihu.

She thought for a moment, carefully considered her words, and said, "If you want to go, go ahead. I'll write another letter to Huang Tianhua. He's now the Duke of Bingling of the Three Mountains and Five Peaks, and he's in charge of this kind of welcoming and seeing off. Dad, you take it. I think I'll be able to meet Uncle Huang."

Even gods can be snobbish, especially those gods who are involved in the "officialdom".

Deng Jiugong is a legitimate "Jiugong" of the human race. He is on good terms with Fuxi and Huangdi, and is not on the same level as the five-colored fat cow. He has Mount Emei and the Fire Cloud Cave behind him. There is no conflict of interest between the two sides. He is just an old friend coming to reminisce about the past. The Emperor of Dongyue will not turn Old Deng away.
