Chapter 240 The Whole Story, Occasionally Teasing
"The ancestral Wu Houtu was designated as the Mighty Heavenly Lord of the Central Earth, and belonged to the Three Mountains and Five Mountains tribe to assist the Mighty and Vast Heavenly Lord of the Vast Sea."
"Rank three, each yuan will receive seventy-two bottles of golden elixir, ten thousand drops of spiritual dew, and twelve feet of Xiawei."
After the words of prayer fell, a golden sticker appeared, and everyone's eyes focused on Hou Tu.
Hou Tu naturally knew that he wanted to use her as a pledge, but seeing that the reward was considered a favor, he had no objection in his heart, so he knelt down again and said:
"I thank you, Your Majesty, for the reward."
Qi nodded, knowing that the matter was over, he just expressed relief and asked her to have a good life in heaven, and then left with Taiyi.
After Qi and Taiyi left, Di Jiang and many brothers and sisters gathered around and said to Hou Tu with some guilt:
"Sister, we are ashamed of you and can only let you stay alone in the heaven as a hostage. This matter is my brother's fault."
Di Jiang felt a little ashamed, but didn't know how to make up for it, so he listened to Zhu Rong saying carelessly from the side:
"Sister, you can practice well in heaven. When your brothers become stronger, they will take you back."
"If you feel wronged during this period, just tell your brother, in the worst case, he will turn against you. Don't treat yourself badly."
After hearing this, Hou Tu said helplessly:
"Heaven is not a den of tigers and wolves. I am just valued by His Majesty the Emperor and serve here. It is not as dangerous as you said."
"And if you enjoy third-grade luck, in terms of luck that can be distributed, it may not be much less than you."
"Furthermore, I have given you the Golden Elixir Spiritual Dew. In terms of practice, I am afraid I will have to do it before you."
"That Xia Zhi is also of the highest quality. It is extremely beautiful. In terms of brilliance, I am not inferior to you."
"There are many masters in Heaven. If there is a war, Lei Bu and Dou Bu will also come forward. Compared to myself, I am more worried about you."
"If we go to the West, there will inevitably be fights. I'm afraid there won't be too many wars. Although the West is poor, it is not without strong people."
"You should be more careful when you go here and don't be careless. Besides, I don't think those two people in the West are kind people. You must not trust them easily."
Seeing Hou Tu being like this, Di Jiang felt even more guilty, but he had no choice but to say solemnly:
"Brother must remember what my sister said and be more careful when going to the West."
Seeing that they had listened, Hou Tu nodded with satisfaction, turned around and said to Xuan Ming:
"You and I, sisters, I leave the Houtu tribe to you. Dayi and Kuafu are both elites in the tribe, but they are too anxious. My sister needs to pay more attention to them."
"My coming to serve in Heaven is not a helpless move, nor is there any danger. You need to explain this to them."
"Otherwise, given their character, I'm afraid they will cause trouble. If they just make a fuss, forget it. We can't let them delay our Wu Clan's grand plan."
"If you really can't persuade me, then I'll ask my sister to help me. If it doesn't work, I can only kill him. Don't be merciful."
When Hou Tu said this again, his heart felt like bleeding. She would definitely not be able to leave the heaven in the future. If those two people were allowed to cause trouble, there would be twists and turns that would affect the Wu clan.
Death in the hands of one's own people would only make the people of the clan unhappy, but if they were allowed to rush to heaven and die in the hands of heaven, the problem would be huge.
This will inevitably arouse the anger of the Houtu tribe, and the followers of the two may go to attack the heaven together, destroying the future of the Wu tribe.
She entrusted the Houtu tribe to Xuan Ming, with the intention of letting Xuan Ming annex it so that she could integrate the power of the Wu tribe to deal with the next challenge in the west.
Xuan Ming naturally knew what Hou Tu meant. Although he hesitated, he finally agreed.
With the Houtu Tribe in her hands, the two of them might still be able to survive. But if they were in the hands of Gonggong Zhurong, if something happened, there would probably be no good outcome.
As for the Dijiang tribe, neither of them had considered that Chi You, the great witch of the Dijiang tribe, was extremely ruthless and would not tolerate them.
The prestige of Dayi and Kuafu in the tribe was too high, and they responded to every call, which would become the biggest obstacle to integrating the two tribes.
These ancestral witches can tolerate it as long as they are not offended, but the chief witches under their banner will not let such people exist.
Even the previous divisions and annexations of tribes were freely considered, and the character of each great witch had to be taken into account, otherwise they would only fall into internal strife.
In the Lingxiao Palace, Emperor Jun and Fu Xi were still discussing the tax issue with everyone. When they were extremely entangled, they saw Qi and Taiyi returning to the palace.
Di Jun coughed lightly, and everyone's discussion stopped. Seeing this, Qi waved his hand and stepped back.
After everyone exited, Qi finally spoke:
"The matter with the Wu clan has been resolved. I drove them all to the west and promised that the west would be their grazing land."
Di Jun and Fu Xi were shocked when they heard this. They didn't know why Qi would do this and make such a serious promise. Di Jun even asked directly:
"Pray, you are not a wanton person, tell me what are your considerations?"
Fuxi Taiyi also set his sights on Qi, wanting to get an explanation as to why the Wu Clan, as an enemy that could compete with Heaven in the future, would give such generous treatment.
"Of course I have my own considerations about this. Please listen to me."
"I placed the Witch Clan here, firstly, to find a desolate place for them. I don't want them to ruin such a treasure land as the Eastern Continent."
"The second reason is because of what I said before. Nowadays, the fortune of immortality is so great that there must be ambitious people who want to cause trouble. If they really collude with the West, I'm afraid it will be difficult for you and me to deal with it."
"It's better to put a hard bone in the West first. If they want to collude with the West, the Wu clan will be a mountain they can't cross."
"And you also know the way of life of the Wu clan. If it is allowed to develop, the goals of those two people in the west will never be achieved."
"If Jieyin Zhunti wants to develop the West, the first targets will definitely be the Wu clan and the Twelve Ancestral Witches. When the time comes, Heaven will be able to sit back and watch the fight between tigers and tigers."
"After all, if you want to control a continent, you have to pay some price. Heaven is not their nanny and must protect them."
When Qi said this, his face turned slightly cold, and he continued to speak:
"It would be great if they gave up on the West. Now the Eastern Continent, the Southern Continent and the Northern Continent have all recovered a lot of their vitality under the control of my Heavenly Court."
"Among these three places, Heavenly Court has incomparable advantages. If they dare to stand out in their work, there will not be many followers."
"The scale of the war that has arisen in this way cannot be too large. If Heaven wants to deal with them, it will just do it casually."
"As for them, if they can persuade the Witch Clan to join them, that would be acknowledging Heavenly Court's position as the protagonist of Heaven and Earth."
"What they did can no longer be said to become heaven and earth and overthrow the mountain that is pressing on their heads. Instead, it can only be regarded as rebellion."
"I believe you can also understand the difference and the impact it brings."
"Furthermore, the Western Continent is a poor place. Allowing the Witch Clan to survive there is also a disguised restriction on their development."
"Furthermore, the tax amount I set is quite high. It is an average amount for the other three continents. The heavy tax burden will inevitably cause internal conflicts."
"And as long as we have this number, if the people of the Wu clan have evil intentions, the taxes they have to pay in the Western Continent will be more than that."
"Heavenly Court knows the great benefits among them, and if the Wu Clan goes too far, there will be endless public resentment, which will definitely involve most of their energy."
"In the long run, I don't believe that all the Witch Clan are people of noble character. There will definitely be a lot of chaos in the future."
"Moreover, high taxes will also dash the hope of the West becoming strong again. Jieyin Zhunti will definitely hate them to the core and fight with them."
"To kill two birds with one stone, all it requires is a continent that is not important at the moment, so why not give it up?"
"After all, you and I gave the West to the Witch Clan, so they will naturally have to worry about the subsequent repairs."
"The amount of manpower and material resources saved by this round-trip can be regarded as astronomical. Of course, even so, I think among all races, there are only a few who are willing."
Qi said this with a smile on his face. This is indeed a piece of poisonous honey, but all living beings will definitely enjoy it and drink it even if they risk their lives.
Fuxi and Di Jun were also constantly thinking about the pass, and felt that this was indeed a good idea, but suddenly Di Jun seemed to have thought of something and said with a headache:
"Qi, you have harmed me and Fuxi. You have never thought about how many races will come to your door after you promised the Western Continent!"
"Although you and I know the depth of the conspiracy, those races cannot see it. Even if they see it, they will definitely close their eyes tightly because of the benefits contained in it."
Fuxi also had a headache when he thought about this. Among the clan leaders of various races, which one is not a human spirit? How many of them can resist the benefits contained in it?
Taiyi just smiled and said:
"He who can do it should work harder. As the emperor of heaven, I naturally have to worry more about it. And isn't he happy with it?"
Seeing this, Emperor Jun laughed a little, and after a while he said:
"Qi, you are indeed worthy of being the strange person that the God of Raising Eyebrows said. How about you give me a price and let my brother go?"
Everyone burst out laughing when they heard this. Taiyi was a little shy, and Fuxi even said with a smile:
"And even tell me Nuwa's share. I pray that you can just come here. Fuxi will give up his family fortune in this life and redeem it."
Qi Ze glanced at Fu Xi with some disdain and said with a smile:
"Di Jun said this because he somehow occupies most of the heavenly treasure house and is considered rich. What kind of wealth do you have that can catch my eye?"
Everyone laughed loudly again. Taiyi clapped his hands and screamed, and at the same time, he stabbed the side and said:
"That's right, and Nuwa's wealth is so rich, which is rare in the world. Why don't you let Qi talk to her and let her buy you."
"In this way, there is no separation between you and fellow Taoist Nuwa, we just belong to Qi."
Fuxi was happy when he heard this, but also became a little angry and said:
"You go ahead. Instead of letting Nuwa buy me to Qi, why don't you buy your brother and give it to Qi too!"
Taiyi could withstand such jokes that had nothing to do with him, and it had just begun, so his defense would not be broken, so he smiled and said:
"Of course I thought about it too, but now that my brother is rich and wealthy, Tai has nothing to offer, so he can't redeem him."
Suddenly, Di Jun stopped laughing.
Qi saw that his emotions were in place and he had taken advantage, and then he started to scold Fuxi and Di Jun:
"You two wait and see, when will you be like Taiyi and willing to confide in me."
He turned to Di Jun and teased:
"Although you cannot redeem him, Fuxi is not out of the question. You might as well take out the treasure house. I don't want much, just half as the agency fee."
"I will help you negotiate with Nuwa for the remaining half, and let her sell Fuxi to you at the price, which will just complete the friendship between the two of you who are inseparable."
Di Jun then smiled, while Fuxi's face was no longer smiling. Sure enough, the smile will not disappear, but will only shift.
Although it was just a verbal tease, Fuxi felt that if Nuwa was present, she might really agree.
After a long time of getting along, he knew this sister's personality very well, and he was afraid that the world would not be in chaos.
As long as it was fun and had no impact on everyone, she would dare to do anything.
But Fuxi also hoped that Nuwa's temperament would not change, and she would continue to maintain her current optimistic and lively attitude.
If Nuwa grows up to his mentality, Fuxi dare not imagine how much grievances Nuwa will suffer? How much entanglement and sadness will arise in her heart?
Thinking of this, Fuxi couldn't help but smile, which made Qi and the other two a little confused, wondering what Fuxi was thinking about.
Seeing that the atmosphere finally calmed down, Qi spoke about the treatment of Hou Tu. Although she was the essence of the heaven, she should not be treated lightly after all.
Moreover, as the ancestor witch of the earth, it would be a good place for him to join the Three Mountains and Five Peaks Department, and he could also monitor Kunpeng's actions.
Qi didn't know why, although Kunpeng often showed his loyalty and there was nothing to criticize in his actions, he always made Qi difficult to trust in his heart.
Qi had been constantly recalling the memory of his birth, but he could no longer remember anything except the opening of the sky.
Qi felt that the reason for his distrust of him should be in the forgotten memory, but when he could not recall it, Qi knew that there must be some secret hidden in the forgotten memory.
"Let's go find Nuwa. After all, this involves a continent. My mark alone cannot attract the recognition of the luck of the Heavenly Court."
"Tell me, will my action increase or decrease the luck of the Heavenly Court?"
Qi was a little curious. At present, taking away the Western Continent and creating a hegemon on it who obeys orders but not announcements will inevitably affect the luck of the Heavenly Court.
But if we infer from the information that Qi and everyone have obtained, this move should solve a major problem for the Heavenly Court, and the luck should increase.
In the expectation of everyone, Nuwa finally arrived on the Qingluan. (End of this chapter)
