Conferred Gods: Start with a Phoenix clone

Chapter 251 Daji's Opportunity

For more than half a year, there have been few personnel changes in the Deng family.

Huang Feihu went to guard Hanzhong and was no longer under the various kinds of oppression from Chaoge. He was in a good mood and had another child with Jia. Huang Tianxiang was born a year earlier than in the original history. Now Huang Feihu already had four sons, Huang Tianhua, Huang Tianlu, Huang Tianjue and Huang Tianxiang, and a daughter, Huang Yan.

Officials in Nan County each performed their duties, but Mei Bo was still doing supervisory work. If he saw anyone corrupt, he would report it to his superiors without mercy.

Corruption can still be frightened by the eighteen levels of hell, but there is no way to deal with those who lack ability or have radical methods.

We cannot expect all officials to be saints and sages. “Goodness does not make an official, and affection does not make a job.”

Deng Jiugong could only reprimand some officials. This was the limitation of the times, and there was often no better solution.

Lao Deng changed the name of Nanjun back to its original "Nandu", and then moved the city gate northward based on Sanshan Pass.

Originally, Sanshan Pass was used to defend against the two hundred princes in the south, but now it has been changed to defend against enemies in the north, so it naturally needs to be rebuilt.

A new city was built at the old Sanshan Pass. In fact, this was the ancestral home of the Deng family. According to the naming method of the time, the new city was named "Nanyang".

At the same time, the Deng family also launched a campaign to register the population. A large number of barbarians, the subjects of the two hundred princes in the south, and merchants who fled from the war in the north became subjects of the Deng family, and the population ushered in another wave of growth.

The south was a thriving scene, while the north had become a veritable meat grinder.

King Zhou fought against the Duke of Dongbo twice. Both times, when he was about to capture Chaoge, he heard the news that Xiqi had sent troops, so he had to retreat and go back to attack Xiqi. When King Zhou withdrew his troops from Chaoge, Xiqi also withdrew. Ji Chang wanted the father and son to fight forever. Chonghouhu and Yuanhong were also restless, and the whole north was in chaos.

King Zhou, Xiqi and Nandu were all carrying out reforms to a certain extent. Yin Jiao was not to be outdone and also abolished slavery in the areas around Chaoge, which he actually controlled. As for Duke Dongbo, the situation was not very optimistic. More than half of Duke Dongbo's 600,000 troops were made up of his 200 princes. Duke Dongbo was more like an alliance leader. These princes were the most determined opponents of the abolition of slavery. They wanted to carry out internal reforms, but faced great resistance.

The Deng family has almost cleared out the 200 princes in the south and is fully capable of enforcing orders. The Duke of Dongbo can only play the political game of forming alliances with the many princes under his command.

After learning about the intelligence from various places, Deng Chanyu was quite sad. She felt that she had never interfered with the overall situation of the Conferred Gods, and she couldn't figure out why it had turned out like this. It was very confusing.
If she couldn't figure it out, she might as well stop thinking about it. As the Ghost Festival approached, she set off for the underworld.

"Who is here?" Daji, wearing a full set of Yama's crown and robes, asked in a very intimidating tone.

Deng Chanyu rolled her eyes: "The person in the hall is Su San!"

Daji stroked her nonexistent beard, picked up a piece of white paper, and pondered for a moment: "Isn't the name on this petition Deng Er?"

"Why are you talking so much nonsense? Hurry up."

"Hehe." Daji laughed like a little fox stealing a chicken. Even though she covered her mouth with her hands, she couldn't hide her smugness.

Daji worked in the underworld for two and a half years. Even if the heroes of the Wu clan were keen on fighting, Niangniang Pingxin called on them to stop. They had to stop. If they continued fighting, they would become wild.

Withdraw the troops and come back to work!
One by one, the great witches put on robes representing gentlemen, put away their axes and hammers, washed the blood off their feet, put on their boots, and returned to the underworld to work.

Daji can be said to have retired after completing her mission. In more than two years, she was upgraded directly from a mortal to a terrestrial immortal. This was basically due to her merits. She had not practiced much, and her fighting style and means were still in the mortal period.

The Wu Clan would certainly not treat their own people unfairly. Lady Pingxin felt that her foundation was a bit weak. Her realm had improved, but her methods hadn't, and her comprehension of the Dao was out of the question. When Daji went out to fight in the future, could she claim she was taught by the Wu Clan? That wouldn't work. She needed special training.

In order to reward her for her contribution, he prepared to send her to Pangu Temple so that Daji could personally experience the authentic Pangu Taoism.

Pangu Temple was formed from Pangu's heart. At the beginning of the world, twelve drops of Pangu's blood were stored here. Later, these twelve drops of Pangu's blood merged with the essence of the earth veins and became the twelve ancestor witches. In the countless years that followed, Pangu Temple has always been the most important place for the ancestor witches to commemorate their father Pangu.

Countless epochs ago, Pangu Palace was sent by the Space Ancestral Shaman Dijiang and the Time Ancestral Shaman Zhu Jiuyin to a vast world that was completely disconnected from the time and space of the ancient world.

Except for the Twelve Ancestral Witches, the great witches in the witch clan, such as Jiufeng and Chiyou, were not allowed to enter Pangu Temple, let alone outsiders. This time, Daji was allowed to observe from outside the temple.

She brought Deng Chanyu along as well, using the excuse that she didn't understand the principles and needed someone to give her guidance.

This time, Daji is the main character, and Deng Chanyu is at most a pendant.

In addition to being able to observe Pangu's Taoism up close, they can also refine that drop of Hou Tu's blood into a golden elixir, and then pierce the golden elixir to absorb the essence and energy in it bit by bit.

Two things, just right to do at the same time.

Daji handed over the work in her hands. It can be seen that King Qin Guang, who came back to work, was as nervous as a weed. Sitting on the chair, his right hand subconsciously held the pen in the posture of a battle axe, and his left hand clenched into a fist. Looking at his expression, it seemed that he was ready to overturn the table at any time and smash the enemy's head with the table.

Without paying any more attention to these "civilized people" who had laid down their weapons and returned to their official positions, Deng Chanyu and Daji came to the side hall.

Daji said casually: "Take off your clothes."

Deng Chanyu: “???”

Seeing Daji throwing over two linen tops that were very characteristic of the witch clan, a tiger-skin skirt, and two stone axes, she finally understood Daji's intention after the explanation.

She had been wearing Taoist robes for several years, and now she suddenly had to change clothes, and she was a little uncomfortable with it.

"Can't I wear my Taoist robe? Do I have to change clothes?"

Daji lowered her voice and said, "Pangu Palace is a very sacred place. It is different from the prehistoric world."

She thought about it for a while, wondering how it was different.

I couldn't think of any other way to put it, so I could only use Lady Pingxin's original words: "My grandmother said that the time there is completely different from that of the prehistoric times. It's not in the past, present, or future. Maybe we can even see the fallen ancestors of witches."

Is it so magical?
Daji bit her lip and glared: "It's better to change into the clothes of the witch tribe. Those witch tribes don't like Taoist priests."

It's more than just dislike.

The Wu clan has strong opinions about Xuanmen!
We are the descendants of the Father God. How can you, Hongjun, an outsider, occupy the prehistoric world and use the way of heaven to deal with us? The Three Pure Ones, transformed from Pangu's spirit, can become saints, so why can't the ancestor witch who is the product of Pangu's essence and blood also become saints?
