Chapter 747 Zhang Guifang Goes to Heaven as an Official

Deng Chanyu and Bai Ze told the truth, but not the whole story.

Yuan Hong volunteered to take on the job of plague removal messenger, and for Deng Chanyu, the matter was officially settled.

She also has the task of supervision, but this has no direct connection to the great vows. Jie Yin and Zhunti made so many great vows, assigning each disciple a task, but how many of them were actually completed? Whether someone does the work is one thing, and whether the work is done well is another.

In addition to the work of the plague remover.

Deng Chanyu still has to use Yuan Hong to strengthen Bo Yikao's power.

Jiang Ziya led his army to take over the cities and troops in the north. In fact, the soldiers still recognized Yuan Hong. Once Bo Yikao completely won over Yuan Hong, he might really think of competing with his brothers for the throne. Whatever choice Bo Yikao made had nothing to do with Deng Chanyu. As long as he didn't die and didn't try to seize the position of Zhongtian Beiji Ziwei Emperor, he would be considered a victory!
Adding a little "small" trouble to the future of Zhou State was just a casual move. If it succeeded, she would be happy. If it didn't, it didn't matter.

The Zhou State took over the Hedong area. Under the banner of Yuan Hong, the Zhou State's sphere of influence finally entered Hebei. Afterwards, it used 70% of the harvest to repay the debt and purchased more food, armor and weapons from the Han State in preparation for the decisive battle to attack the Shang Dynasty.

Deng Chanyu finally completed her first major project after arriving in the prehistoric world. She summoned Jin Dasheng's four plague-eliminating messengers and gave them a few words of encouragement in turn. Then she made a promise that if they performed well in the future, she would let them become officials in heaven.

It’s not possible to confer the title of Ziwei Emperor on yourself, but it’s okay to confer a few minor officials on yourself.

It cannot be said to be completely empty talk, after all, it has certain feasibility.

The four demons of Jin Dasheng were extremely grateful. As they only had their true spirits left, they fully agreed to serve as officials in heaven and receive incense from the heavenly court. They took the big cakes one by one and expressed their willingness to continue to contribute to the real person's work of eliminating plague.

"Well, let's go."

After sending away the four 007 monsters, she is really going back to Yunmengze this time.

"What a hard life." Halfway through the journey, she realized that there was a very faint cause and effect involving herself. After some deduction, she turned back to Shu County.

After a cup of tea, she saw her family general Zhang Guifang.

Over the years, Zhang Guifang has been working for her as a retainer. In terms of status, he is still a merchant and has never been loyal to the Han Kingdom.

When Deng Chanyu turned all her energy to the fairyland and paid less and less attention to the human world, Zhang Guifang, as a family servant, felt very embarrassed.

The prestige of Deng Chanyu, the heavenly general, is declining year by year. Some older officials in Shu are fine, but some newly promoted officials are subject to all kinds of rumors.

Zhang Guifang doesn't care. No matter what you say, he just practices martial arts, reads books, and practices Taoism every day, and he lives a very satisfying life.

It's just that this famous general has been in a heavy mood recently. He has always regarded himself as a minister of the Shang Dynasty, but he does not object to his son serving as an official in the Han Dynasty.

Just received a message that his third son contracted an epidemic in the south and died.

Deng Chanyu walked into the mourning hall and saw him looking towards the south with a solemn expression.

"General Zhang, please accept my condolences."

Zhang Guifang pondered for a moment: "Master, what do you think of my choice, is it right or wrong?" Deng Chanyu was not against "one person's success brings prosperity to the whole family", but she thought that one should let nature take its course. If you have a destiny to become an immortal, then I will help you. If you don't have a destiny to become an immortal, then it's also good to enjoy the wealth and glory of the world.

It’s impossible to say that if I become an immortal, I will bring all my aunts and uncles and the dogs of my neighbors along.

This is too tiring!

So far, she has only helped Deng Jiugong and Deng Xiu change their lifespans once, and has ignored the rest.

Zhang Guifang's choice was similar to hers. Her eldest son inherited the family business, her second son was taught some cultivation techniques, and her third and fourth sons had to make a living on their own.

Now he felt a little regretful. If he had prepared some elixirs for his third son, he wouldn't have to die young today, right?

He was originally a human immortal. After becoming Deng Chanyu's disciple, he became both a teacher and a friend. Deng Chanyu would occasionally give him guidance on his practice. Just by giving him some spiritual materials, he would break through the bottleneck. Six years ago, he became an earthly immortal, and now he is not far from becoming a celestial immortal.

It's ironic that the father is an immortal, but the son died of the disease.

Deng Chanyu said, "It doesn't matter whether it's right or wrong. There's a great plague happening in this world. Although I've appointed an envoy to remove the plague, what happened to your young master can only be considered his fate."

The prehistoric world needs plagues to exist. Even though she cut off Lu Yue's plague avenue and sent Jin Dasheng and others to eliminate the plague every day, to be frank, Tiandao felt that not enough people had died. Originally, the plague was set for the Zhou Kingdom as a tribulation. Now that she killed Lu Yue in advance, Tiandao made changes and directly selected the target randomly.

If Zhang Guifang's son encountered such a thing, even if he had a magic pill on him, it would probably be useless. It can only be said that he was unlucky.

Deng Chanyu said, "General Zhang's earthly ties have ended. Why don't I recommend you to serve as an official in heaven? If you achieve something in the future, you can also help one or two close friends."

Yuan Hong couldn't be relied upon, but she trusted Zhang Guifang's character. His ability to deploy troops far outweighed his cultivation skills. Furthermore, could anyone imagine a warrior like Zhao Yun, a warrior in silver armor and a warrior like him, sitting cross-legged in meditation? That wouldn't be the right approach. Rather than taking the seemingly insignificant path to immortality, it would be better to follow the path of incense and deity.

Deng Chanyu felt that reporting for work and training soldiers every day was also a way out.

Zhang Guifang had already escaped half of the disaster before, and now that her son had died of illness, she was completely escaped.

"Being an official in heaven?" He was a little surprised. "I have never thought about this before. Please tell me in detail, Master."

Deng Chanyu said, "Well, I recommend you to serve at the North Heaven Gate. The Marshal there is a friend of mine. Since you're new here, your position won't be high, so I'll make you a captain. You'll have fifty celestial soldiers and five celestial horses under your command. You'll train with them daily, and if the Heavenly Court calls for a war, you'll lead the troops and follow Marshal Tianpeng of the North Heaven Gate."

Zhang Guifang was obviously tempted. As a military commander, he really didn't like the Xuanmen way of practicing Taoism by sitting still. If he insisted on practicing, he could do it, but it would just be awkward.

After becoming an official, the question of whether to attack the Shang Dynasty no longer existed. Training soldiers? Marching and fighting? These were what he was best at.

"Zhang Guifang will never forget the master's kindness, but..." He hesitated, not sure how to put it.

In the future, should I listen to Deng Chanyu or to Marshal Tianpeng?
According to contemporary values, he should obey the person who recommended him. However, he does not understand the affairs of heaven, which makes him a bit embarrassed.

Deng Chanyu's telepathy allowed her to hear some of someone's thoughts. She smiled and shook her head, "Don't worry, that Marshal is my good friend. You'll be surprised when you see her face in the future. I'll have her write a letter of appointment."
