Deng Can Yu and Bai Zé both spoke the truth, but they didn't say everything.
Yuan Hong voluntarily took on the work of "plague messenger," which was formally settled for Deng Chanyu.
She still has the task of supervision, but this is not directly related to the great vow. The tasks of guidance and preparation, they have made so many great vows, arranging for each of their disciples. But in reality, how many of these tasks have been completed? Whether someone does the work or not is one thing, and whether the work is done well is another.
Except for the work of the "plague messenger".
Deng Chanyu still wanted to strengthen Bo Yikao's strength with Yuan Hong.

Adding a "small" trouble to the future of the Zhou Kingdom is just a casual move; it's fine if it doesn't work out, but it's satisfying if it does.
The Zhou Kingdom has received the land in the Hedong region, relying on Yuan Hong's banner, and finally, Zhou's influence has entered Hebei. After using seven-tenths of the harvest to repay, and purchasing more food, armor, and weapons from the Han State, it is preparing for the decisive attack on Yin merchants.
Deng Chanyu finally settled her first major project after coming to Hongwu. She summoned the four plague messengers of Jin Da Sheng and encouraged them one by one. Afterwards, she painted a cake. If you perform well in the future, she said, she will let you become an official in heaven.
It's not appropriate for oneself to appoint oneself as the Emperor of the Purple Microcosm, but appointing a few minor officials is not a problem.
It can't be said to be completely a pipe dream, after all, it has some feasibility.
Jin Da Sheng four demons were grateful, but the only remaining essence of them would be quite supportive of becoming an official in heaven and eating the incense of Tianjing. One after another, they took over the cake and expressed their willingness to continue contributing to Zhenren's plague eradication cause.
"Hmm, go ahead then."
Sending off the four 007 demons, she was actually returning to the Yunmeng Lake this time.
"Such a toilsome life." Halfway there, she felt a very weak causal linkage with herself. After exploring, she turned to Shu Province again.
After a cup of tea, she saw her own servant Zhang Guifang.
Zhang Guifang has been working here as a servant for these years, under the status of a guest. In terms of identity, he is still a minister of Qin, and he has never sworn allegiance to the Han country.
When Deng Chanyu's attention was entirely transferred to the celestial realm, and her attention to the human world was less and less, as a household general, Zhang Guifang felt quite awkward.
Deng Chanyu's prestige as a celestial general has been declining year by year. Older officials in Shu are still okay, but new officials promoted recently are spreading all sorts of rumors.
Zhang Guifang is quite indifferent to it. You can say whatever you want, he just practices martial arts, reads books, and cultivates himself every day, and his life is very contented.
Although this famous general has been feeling a bit heavy-hearted recently, he has always considered himself a subject of Yin merchants, but he doesn't oppose his son serving in the Han State.
There's a message just received: his third son has contracted an epidemic in the south and died.
Deng Chanyu walked into the hall and saw him gazing south, with a solemn expression on his face.
"General Zhang, please be consoled."
Zhang Guifang pondered for a moment, "Master, do you think my choice was right or wrong?"
Deng Chanyu isn't against "one person attains immortality and the others ascend," but she thinks it should be natural, if there is a chance for it, then I will pull you up, if not, enjoying wealth and comfort in the mortal world is also quite good.
It's not possible to say, "I have become immortal, so I will take my aunts and uncles, as well as the dog next door."
That would be too tiring!
So far, she has only helped Deng Jiugong and Deng Xiu change their ages once, and hasn't interfered with the rest.
Zhang Guifang's choice is similar to hers, her eldest son inherited the family business, the second son taught some martial arts techniques, and the third and fourth sons had to find their own way.
Now he regrets a little, if he had prepared some immortality pills for his third son, would he not have to experience the pain of losing a child?
He was originally a human immortal, and after joining Deng Chanyu's door, he became both a teacher and a friend. Deng Chanyu occasionally gave him guidance on his cultivation, and by simply letting out some spiritual materials, he broke through the bottleneck. He achieved the status of a terrestrial immortal six years ago, and now is not far from becoming a celestial immortal.
The father is an immortal, but the son died of an epidemic, which sounds somewhat ironic.
Deng Chanyu said, "It doesn't matter whether it's right or wrong. There should be a great plague in this realm of heavens and earth. Although I established the plague messengers, the matter concerning your son can only be said to be his destiny."
The Hongwu realm needs the existence of plagues, even if she cut off Lu Yu's plague path and sent Jin Da Sheng and others to eradicate them every day, in simple terms, the Heavenly Law considers that there are not enough people dead. Originally, it was set for Zhou country as a test, but now Deng Chanyu has killed Lu Yu in advance, the Heavenly Law has changed and randomly selected targets.
Even if his son had immortality pills, it probably wouldn't have worked when he got sick. It's just bad luck.
Deng Chanyu said, "General Zhang, your earthly ties are at an end. How about I recommend you to serve in the heavens as an official? In the future, when you achieve success, you can also help some close ones."
Deng Chanyu said, "On the other hand, I can't rely on Yuan Hong. General Zhang, I trust your character and integrity. Your ability to arrange troops and battles far surpasses your ability to cultivate. And a silver helmet, silver armor, and a fierce general like Zhao Yun - can you imagine him sitting cross-legged to meditate?" The image just doesn't fit. It's better to choose the divine path that everyone can see in an instant, rather than the one that requires effort to achieve.
Daily check-in, commanding troops, and Deng Chanyu thought this was also a way out.
Zhang Guifang had already escaped half the disasters before, and now with his son's death, he has completely escaped them.
"Serving in the heavens as an official?" He was a bit surprised, "I've never thought about it. Please, your majesty, explain it in detail."
Deng Chanyu said, "In this way, I will recommend you to serve at the North Gate of Heaven. The general of that place is my friend. Since you're new here, your official position won't be too high. I will appoint you as a Duke. You will have fifty heavenly soldiers under your command and five heavenly horses. Your daily training is required. Whenever the Heavenly Court needs to wage war, you are to lead your troops and follow the General of Tianpeng at the North Gate, General Trueking."
Zhang Guifang clearly showed interest. As a military general, he indeed didn't like the mode of Qigong cultivation, where one sits still and does nothing. He could endure it, but it felt awkward.
After serving as an official in heaven, there would be no need to discuss whether to attack the Yin Dynasty. Training soldiers and conducting battles are the things he is most skilled in.
"Deng Chanyu's generous kindness, Zhang Guifang will never forget, but" he hesitated for a moment and didn't know how to put it into words.
Which should he follow in the future: Deng Chanyu's instructions or those of the General Tianpeng True King?
In the current world's values, he should follow the instructions of his employer, whoever recommended him listens to whom. However, he doesn't understand the matters of heaven, which is a bit difficult.
Deng Chanyu's telepathy can hear some hearts, at this moment, smiling and shaking her head: "Don't worry, that general true king is my close friend. In the future, you will be surprised when you see her appearance waiting for you. I'll ask her to write a letter of appointment."
