Conferred Gods: Start with a Phoenix clone

Chapter 6 Going to Nandu

Deng Chanyu and Tailuan Shangye exchanged a few compliments, and the competition came to an end.

Winning one move in a competition doesn't mean anything.

As a trusted confidant of Old Deng, Tai Luan certainly wouldn't fight to the death with Miss Deng; it would be more of a game. Deng Chanyu didn't use her special stone-throwing skills, relying on her newly learned halberd techniques, only able to display about 20% to 30% of her skills.

Tai Luan is highly skilled in martial arts and has rich combat experience, but he is not as strong as Yang Jian, who can send sparks flying when a flying stone hits his face. If it really comes to a life-and-death fight, Deng Chanyu can defeat him in minutes if they are ten steps away.

Over the next few days, she continued to hone her martial arts skills, adapting to her body's increased strength, while continuing to feed her clone.

Whenever Jiang Ziya met Wen Taishou, he would rush forward with the Divine Whip and exchange more than ten moves with him. Not to mention Nezha and Yang Jian. In the world of Fengshen, even if one becomes a cultivator or a Qi-refining practitioner, martial arts are still useful on the battlefield.

Practice more now and don't suffer any loss. Maybe you can save your life someday.

There are many generals in Sanshan Pass, some of whom use long spears. She used the "Sharingan" to copy the opponent's martial arts, taking the essence and discarding the dross. One of them, a general named Zhao Sheng, attracted her attention. This guy not only used the Fang Tian Hua Ji, but also had the unique skill of spraying several feet of flames in battle.

The monks who graduated from "professional schools" all have professional skills such as water escape, fire escape, divination, talisman drawing, weapon refining, and alchemy. In order to distinguish them from traditional monks, people like Zhao Sheng who can breathe fire are collectively called "strange people" in the current environment of the Shang Dynasty.

Deng Chanyu attached her consciousness to the clone, and through the clone's powerful spiritual consciousness, she could sense that there were some fire-attributed spiritual objects in the home of Zhao Sheng, a strange man who was good at breathing fire.

What the fledgling clone needed most was a fire-attributed spiritual object. The spiritual objects in the Deng family's treasury were mostly wind and water-attributed from the acquired five elements. Those bamboos, which seemed like they could never be eaten up, were fire and gold-attributed, but she was tired of them now and wanted a change of taste.
A full 200,000-strong army of the Shang Dynasty was stationed in the Sanshan Pass. No matter how loyal Deng Jiugong was, King Zhou could not have handed over such a large army to one person for a long time, so he had to use all kinds of sabotage to sabotage the army.

Deng Chanyu secretly observed for two days and found that Zhao Sheng was obviously sent by Chaoge to monitor the Deng family.

There is nothing to say. If not you, who else should I rob?

The moon is rising above the branches, and Deng Chanyu controls her clone to commit the crime.

Dragons can grow big or small, rise or hide. As old rivals, the Phoenix clan also has similar abilities.

The clone now has some flying ability. Under Deng Chanyu's control, it quietly flew over the beams, then hid its tracks and sneaked into Zhao Sheng's house.

Zhao Sheng has a friend named Sun Yanhong. Deng Chanyu used various connections to get Sun Yanhong a bottle of fine wine that had been stored in the cellar for many years. Now the two brothers are drinking together.

The clone's spiritual awareness had a wide range, and he could find the spiritual object he needed with just a quick glance in the small house.

It was a small tripod with an ancient shape, and a piece of sandalwood about the length of a little finger was inserted into the tripod.

Taoism does not use sandalwood. Those who use this thing are the future Buddhism and the current Western religions.

A big discovery! Deng Chanyu began to think. The rise of Buddhism was a matter of the Journey to the West, and had nothing to do with the Conferred Gods. But even if Buddhism was weak, it was still a behemoth. If they got serious, they could easily take her down while picking their feet.

What are the essential skills for a time traveler? Reporting and hiding.

She couldn't do anything that would alert the enemy, so she controlled her clone to slowly leave Zhao Sheng's house.

Back in the bedroom, she thought for a while.

If she could cling to the Taoist thigh and take certain risks, it would be acceptable, but she couldn't get in touch with Taoist people yet. Zhao Sheng had a dual background in Buddhism and Chaoge. Although he was a small figure in the eyes of the two major forces, if she touched him rashly, it would definitely cause trouble for Deng Jiugong, the general of Sanshan Pass.

Deng Chanyu temporarily gave up on dealing with Zhao Sheng and focused on practicing martial arts, making rapid progress.

She danced with her long spear like lightning, and practiced the traditional military moves of using her two horses to push off the opponent, then pulling out her iron mace to hit the back of the opponent's head.

Not counting her flying stone skills, she is undoubtedly a top-notch general of the time. If she uses flying stones, I can't say about other places, but no one in Sanshan Pass can be her opponent, not even Zhao Sheng who can spit fire in battle.

"Xiao Yu, well, your complexion is getting better and better." Aunt Huang looked up and down at Deng Chanyu's skin. She was also born into a family of generals. From childhood to adulthood, she had been in contact with military generals. At this moment, she felt that the skin of this young lady of the Deng family was extraordinary. People who practice martial arts are bound to suffer from hardships, and even those who are naturally beautiful cannot withstand it. But this principle seems to be invalid for this young lady of the Deng family now.

Is a purple bamboo bath really that effective? Should I also gain 10 pounds? Women should be kinder to themselves.

She immediately extended an invitation: "The caravan is going south, and you must need a lot of bamboo for bathing. You have nothing to do at home anyway, so why not go with me? You haven't been south before, but it's actually quite interesting there."

"Go south?" Deng Chanyu hesitated.

Now that the Shang Dynasty occupied the central region of the world, the country was rich and the people were strong, the foreign tribes such as the Dongyi, Nanman, Xirong and Beidi were handed over to the four major princes to deal with. While expanding the territory, the power of the four major princes could also be weakened.

Sanshan Pass is the southernmost part of the territory actually controlled by the Shang Dynasty, but within the scope of the entire Chinese culture of "beautiful clothing and great etiquette", the south of Sanshan Pass is the area controlled by Nanbo Hou and two hundred princes, and further south is the place of the barbarians.

The role of the Deng family is to suppress the Nanbohou and the two hundred princes in the south. This suppression does not mean total suppression. The right way is to pull some in and beat them back. The Deng family has many princes in the south with whom they have close cooperation.

At this stage, King Zhou's authority was extremely strong. The four great princes were treated like grandsons, being called upon and dismissed at will. They didn't even dare to fart, let alone lead their troops to rebel and attack the Shang Dynasty. On the surface, the relationship between Sanshan Pass and Nanbohou was harmonious.

Feeling that this trip was not dangerous, she nodded immediately: "Okay, I will go with my aunt."

She also wanted to go for a stroll in the south, maybe she could come across some rare treasures. These things would definitely not be obtained by waiting at home. She did not have such a good fortune, so if she went out for a stroll, there would at least be a chance.

Aunt Huang had a strong execution ability. Three days later, this seemingly quiet woman changed into a set of chain mail, carried a sword on her waist, and took Deng Chanyu, who was dressed as a man and dressed like a young man, with her. Then the group went down the river to Nandu, the capital of Nanbo Hou E Chongyu.
