From the Divine War in the original universe, it is clear that the Zeng family is loyal to the Shang dynasty, but not to the point of extreme loyalty. You command me to attack Xiqi, I went, put as much effort as I could. If I can't beat them, when they persuade me to surrender, I will surrender immediately. Whether it's the Shang dynasty or Xiqi, it makes no difference to the Zeng family. It's just a matter of changing employers and continuing to work.
Gao Lanying and her husband Zhang Kui, who is not yet married, are not like that. They are truly loyal ministers of the Great Shang Dynasty.
When the army of Xiqi broke through five passes, gathered the eight hundred princes and lords in the world, and was only a step away from the city of Chaoga, Zhou Kui and Gao Lanying remained to defend the small city of Suipu.
Indeed, the couple were quite capable. At this time, Tenglong had already been defeated, and Jiezhao had turned into ashes. The couple faced the Heavenly Clarity sect's disciples who formed a celestial band, and guarded the small city of Suipu. In doing so, they also killed a large number of Xici's generals, including Huang Feihu and Deng Chan Yu.
Among them, Zhang Kui's loyalty is still a bit lacking. When the situation is unfavorable, he has said that they should withdraw from Suipu and return to Chaoga. It is this woman, Gao Lanying, who has always been urging him to stay and fight. This woman's loyalty to the Great Shang Dynasty must be 100%.
The false Zhao Zhong Chen Yu killed the true Zhao Zhong Gao Lanying. She did not leave the crime scene immediately, but switched the perspective to a nearby duplicate, using the high consciousness of the Phoenix Clan's duplicate to observe what would happen next.
In all seriousness, until Zhang Guifang attacked Xiqi and Jiangziyahu went to Kunlun Mountain, Taishan did not hand him the Plac magnetic tablet of immortality. He then consumed a large amount of Xiqi's resources to build the "wonder" of placing gods on a platform. Afterwards, when generals and immortals of both sides clashed, it became commonplace to see scenes like "a soul ascended to the platform of plac magnetic tablet."
It is said that the construction of the platform of plac magnetic tablet signifies the official beginning of the granting of immortality. However, in reality, even those who died before the construction of the platform, like Bo Yikao and Shang Rong, were also granted immortality.
At this time, Deng Chan Yu was watching on the spot, curious about where Gao Lanying's soul would go.
Unfortunately, the consciousness of the Phoenix Clan duplicate was not as powerful as that of Yang Ren, who has "an eye that looks up to heaven, down to the earth caverns, and recognizes everything in the mortal realm." She only saw a green light gathering around the body and disappearing instantly after blinking.
Based on the last remaining trace, the soul seems to have headed west, but as for where exactly in the west it went? She doesn't know!
Looking at the body nearby is okay, but to trace it back to the Jade Emperor's Palace, she dares not.
The next step is the popular touching body segment.
The Red Gourd and the seventy-nine spiritual needles were already in her possession. Soon, the sun gold, which was the main material for the ritual, along with several auxiliary materials, also ended up in her bag.
Gao Lanying's Daoist level is still at the stage of mixing black dog's blood and breaking the eight-nine Xuan Gong with feces and urine. This level is not much better than the qigong that Deng Chan Yu has taught to the people of Nandu, and both of them belong to the typical "illiterate" category in terms of their Daoist knowledge.
Gao Lanying's level of Daoism is a mess, but her divination skills are indeed a unique talent among the ordinary people of the realm of plac magnetic tablet.
"Tu Xingyun is on his way to Jialong Mountain, preparing to obtain the technique of transforming earth into steel."
This is the result of her divination.
The time, place, characters, what they are doing, and what they need to take are all calculated clearly. Unfortunately, she clearly did not have the habit of writing down her professional skills in books and carrying them with her.
Deng Chan Yu searched through the body, but could not find any "skill book." There was a bit of regret.
The material of the Day and Night Double Swords was relatively common, and their features as weapons were quite evident, so she left the blades on the body.
Deng Chan Yu quietly left the crime scene, found Deng Ai, and asked him to send people to take care of the aftermath.
Soon, various small pieces of information began to spread everywhere.
Some say that the Miss Gao was killed by the inner strength of the qigong master's "Isolated Mountain and Cow" palm strike, some say she was killed by Mrs. Wang next door, and some say she died from getting off track when absorbing cosmic energy and entering her body.
All sorts of stories were floating around.
Nowadays, Deng Chan Yu and Gao Lanying have not received salaries from the Yin Dynasty. To speak of, they are the representatives of those who are employed, slowly employed, or flexible employment at home and rely on their parents for support.
The death of a general will certainly be personally investigated by King Zhou, but will he care about the death of a commoner?
The government of Nandu doesn't care about this matter either, especially since it involves a bunch of old men and women. They don't want to get involved at all. They are neighbors, how can they investigate their own people? Investigate strangers on behalf of someone from outside?
The matter quickly calmed down, and the excuse was that they were still investigating.
"Are you planning to use small favors to win the favor of the people of Nandu? Recruiting some strong and sturdy men to gather together for so-called 'qigong' practice is a good idea. If my troops at San Shan Guan enter Nandu, relying on these 'masters', and the connections laid in advance, even without bamboo baskets and clay pots, I believe various forms of resistance will be reduced to the lowest level. However, I'm worried that Chaoga won't allow my family to occupy the city of Nandu."
Madam Huang was indifferent to Gao Lanying's death, but kept asking repeatedly about the matter of sending eggs.
Madam Huang thought about it deeper and deeper, even imagining the scene where the people of Deng's family secretly opened the city gates to welcome the army of King Zhou into the city.
If I could become the new Nan Bohou, complete the social leap, even if King Zhou is suspicious of me, it doesn't matter. To be a boss, who would want to be a salaried worker!
She said with a tone of having seen through your plans and a hint of encouragement, "What's your next move?"
Deng Chan Yu: "......?"
The next step? To be honest, I just want to use it as a cover to steal some spiritual materials.
She gave a roll of her eyes and remained silent.
The actual thoughts at that time are no longer important.
"Deng Ai."
"Madam."
Lady Huang commanded with a general's air: "Carry out the arrangement as Miss did previously, and continue to promote the work of winning people over. Don't be afraid of spending money. Today, we spend one yuan, and tomorrow we'll get one hundred back. I will dispatch some personnel and funds for you. During this period, you should stay in Nandu City."
"Yes! Thank you, Madam, for your guidance, and thank you, Miss!" Deng Ai was quite pleased. This meant he was now in charge of his own affairs.
......
In the following days, Madam Huang didn't care about the business of her caravan and devoted all her energy to someone's made-up qigong theory. She wanted to check for any gaps and see if there were any defects.
The result was that the whole system of things like spiritual root, foundation-building, and the formation of an immortal embryo was completely beyond her comprehension. She found the theory to be extremely perfect, even overly so, as if there really were a complete system of cultivation. It wasn't just that it could deceive ordinary old men and women; it could even fool some low-level officials and tribal leaders.
The higher-ups in Nandu knew that people were practicing "qigong," but they sneered at it. How could such a practice be like that? It's just a bunch of foolish people.
They were happy to see the ordinary people in the lower strata have something to do.
The "qigong" was not hindered, and activities like sending eggs and salt were even less obstructed. Who would dare to voice opposition? They could be scolded to death by the uncles and aunts.
