The next day, Deng Jiugong ordered his eldest son Deng Xiu to lead a partial army to occupy the twenty-nine counties in the four prefectures near Nandu. There was basically no resistance here, and it was a waste of effort. Old Deng himself led a large army into Nandu.
Deng Chanyu had a heart-to-heart talk with her biological father, and Lao Deng also agreed with her idea.
You just want to eat your old age, right? understood!
The Deng family occupies a large piece of territory, and if they want to swallow it smoothly, they need the consent of Chaoge, or at least their tacit approval. At this time, it is indeed the right choice to push Huang Feibiao out to take the lead and make a fortune in silence.
Jia's family, including Jia Jisheng, were all handed over to Lao Deng, and Deng Chanyu began a new round of grinding the stick.
"My son said that there are strangers who teach secret skills. Is it so... so simple?" At dawn, Deng Jiugong came to the river to see his daughter. He listened to the report from his subordinates that his daughter was like a demon and did nothing. Qian, I have been sharpening a big iron rod by the river for several days.
At this time, I looked at this cultivation method. Is it so simple? Isn’t this just a matter of having hands?
"Father, it is not the iron rod that sharpens your heart, but your heart, a heart that can persevere in pursuing the truth no matter what difficulties and obstacles you encounter."
Deng Chanyu said this as soon as she opened her mouth. As for Lishan Mother, did she mean this? have no idea!
Deng Jiugong stroked his beard and nodded, agreeing with this statement.
Deng Chanyu was very busy over there. She had been grinding day and night for the past few days. She had worn off almost one-tenth of the iron rod. The Qingyang True Fire had been heating, and it looked normal. In fact, the surface temperature of the iron rod was It’s almost the same as Paolao, so of course I’ll start now while it’s hot!
Seeing the light cyan flame appearing in his daughter's hand, Deng Jiugong was very moved. His daughter is now considered a strange person, right? When the eldest son inherits his position in the court and his daughter practices Taoism, the Deng family will have a promising future!
Two more days passed.
Deng Chanyu felt that it was a bit clumsy to completely cover the iron rod with Qingyang True Fire.
In line with the idea of sharpening a knife and chopping firewood, she asked her maid Hong Xiao to sew a leather ball out of animal skin, and then controlled a trace of flame to rotate inside the ball. The flame could not burn the ball, but at the same time, it had to maintain high-speed rotation.
She practiced the Rasengan for a day...and then covered the stone with the rotating Qingyang True Fire like threads, so that it could burn and cut the iron rod more quickly.
Time passes day by day.
It is becoming more and more difficult to transport food and grass for the army conquering the south. If the Deng family wants to run the southern capital, they cannot raid too hard here. They are no longer able to fight anymore. E Chongyu's younger brother, wives, concubines, sons, and daughters were all in Deng Jiugong's hands, and they also did not dare to attack, and the two sides reached a stalemate.
...
When Kang walked forward under the scorching sun, the Phoenix clone was grinding the needles hard, which involved too much energy. She had been listless these days. The two friends didn't know what happened to her. Thought she was sick.
Now, Dang Kang was carrying a small bed-shaped sycamore tree on his back, while the Phoenix clone was lying in the sycamore tree, soundly sleeping, and Zuowu was holding up a large banana leaf with his long tail to shade her from the sun.
Take a short rest on the main body this day and focus on the clone. This look...
"Where have we come?!" Looking at the nearby mountains, the clone turned back in shock and asked the two friends.
When Kang and Zuowu looked at each other, didn't they just follow their feelings? We don't know where we are, we are still children!
The Phoenix clone resisted the urge to cover his face.
This is obviously lost!
In the mountains, she was a little blind for a moment.
Based on experience, I found a direction.
Almost half a day later, Zuowu suddenly realized that there seemed to be his own opportunity ahead.
Their combination of mythical beasts originally came together to find opportunities, and now they will naturally not let it go.
Soon, following Zuowu's guidance, we came to a large, light, soft, calm and picturesque lake.
What is this place? Could it be that the opportunity is underwater?
Deng Chanyu stopped sharpening the iron rod and turned all his energy to the clone.
When she was observing and thinking, she saw ripples in the lake, and a middle-aged man wearing a sky crown, a dragon robe, a jade belt around his waist, and cloud shoes appeared out of thin air by the lake.
The middle-aged man seemed to be surprised by their combination, especially that there was a phoenix in the team: "...It's actually a Phoenix tribe? Xiaolong is the Dragon King of Dongting. I don't know why this Phoenix tribe's eminent person came to me. Dongting waters?”
Can I say that we came here because we were lost and looking for opportunities?
The dragon and phoenix clans were originally sworn enemies. They fought countless Yuan Hui battles and had countless blood feuds with each other. But now it's different. Both sides are remnants of the catastrophe. Are they going to fight again? If you beat them again, they will be exterminated.
It can't be said that the grudges were forgotten by a smile when they met, but the hatred value is not as high as before. Even seeing each other and saying hello to each other can be regarded as reminiscing about the glorious past of our ancestors.
The Phoenix clone nodded slightly, and just as he was about to speak, Leng Buding Dangkang said to the Dragon King: "Stupid pig!"
Phoenix clone: "..."
Dang Kang looked at her with a proud look on his face, "Look, last time you taught me how to say hello in French, I learned it. I'm smart, right?"
The Dragon King of Dongting was stunned for a moment, and then burst into laughter. He thought this Dangkang was quite interesting, and even introduced himself as Benzhu. Such a name was really simple.
The clone took a step, blocked Dangkang, and showed a smile: "I have met the Dragon King, we mainly..."
She thought for a while and decided to tell the truth: "It's me, a companion of Zuowu, who seems to think that Dongting has a chance for her."
"Is it Zuowu? It is indeed a benevolent beast born from the goodwill of heaven and earth. If there is a chance... Xiaolong doesn't know if it is. Xiaolong's daughter married far away from Jinghe. This morning, Xiaolong suddenly had a whim and felt that there ...It seemed that there was something wrong, so I wanted to find someone who was destined to help me and see if my little girl was doing well there. After that, all the wise men came to Dongting Lake.
We are bound by the law of heaven and cannot leave our posts without permission. If the three wise men are willing to help, please go to Jinghe River for Xiaolong to visit the little girl. As long as I know that she is living a good life, Xiaolong will feel relieved... ...I won’t let the three of you run away in vain, Dongting Dragon Palace will definitely thank you greatly. "
The middle-aged man clasped his fists and bowed, his tone quite sincere.
The Phoenix clone looked at Zou Wu, was this the opportunity? An errand?
Xiao Zuowu nodded confusedly, as if that was the case.
The Phoenix clone didn't know where the Jing River was, so he immediately flipped through the book and quickly found out that this river was a tributary of the Yellow River, located in Xiqi, just on their westward route.
The task was not difficult, the people were so polite, and they didn’t say anything about adding money, so they agreed on the spot.
The Dragon King of Dongting is not as good as the Dragon King of the Four Seas, but the Dragon Palace has always been a very difficult place, and this one is no exception.
He gave the Phoenix clone a piece of armor that had strong defense and could expand and contract according to its body size, and gave Dangkang a water-proof bead. Zuowu was the protagonist, and the Dragon King of Dongting gave Zuowu a drop of Mo Qilin's blood essence. And a pair of cloud shoes that leave no trace on the water.
After absorbing the Mo Qilin essence and blood with some impurities, Zuowu has also entered his infancy. Before, he was only the size of a pillow, but now he looks as big as a pony, and he can finally ride!
We really have no choice but to ride a pig. Who is a serious Phoenix riding this thing?
Zuowu looked like a little tiger, and a certain phoenix sat on her back and touched her chin like a cat, causing Zuowu to laugh and make a comfortable "purr" sound.
