Tongtian felt that he and Nuwa were not quite right, probably because she had to temporarily suspend the double cultivation this time.
Of course, at this time his feeling is not so clear.
Daji hurried to the Sansheng Stone, took the restless mud tire from the stone, and hurried to the world again.
In the name of Daji, Qingsi, the fox demon who stayed in Emperor Xin's harem, had been pretending to be pregnant for nine months. As soon as she received a message from Daji, Qingsi made preparations in advance in Shouxian Palace—pretending to give birth soon .
At that time, Queen Jiang was abolished due to the assassination case, and Daji was already Di Xin's nominal queen.
Whether it is for Daji's current status or her own value as a witch doctor, Di Xin has shown absolute importance.As soon as he received the news, he came to Shouxian Palace to wait.
It was late at night.The gate of Shouxian Palace was closed, surrounded by dozens of witches and servants, lit a sacrificial fire, prayed and danced.
A flustered court lady was tied up by her attendants, and she pushed her to Di Xin outside the gate of Shouxian Palace.
Jing Ximei, the nine-headed pheasant who had turned into a human body, presented a short knife and reported angrily, "Your Majesty, this court lady has hidden a sharp knife to harm the queen."
"Who asked you to come?"
Di Xin coldly questioned the court lady who was kneeling on the ground.
A trace of panic flashed across the face of the maid on the ground, hesitating, "Yes, it's Huang Niangniang..."
Concubine Huang, the younger sister of Huang Feihu, king of Wucheng, was a female general with a domineering personality. She even organized maids to train soldiers in the palace.
Before Queen Jiang was deposed, Concubine Huang targeted Daji several times.She didn't calm down until she became pregnant a few months ago.
"...Huang Niangniang is pregnant and wants her child to be a son-in-law, so... ah—"
The maid was kicked out by Di Xin before she could finish her stammering words.
Di Xin had the supernatural power to change pillars and beams, and this made the palace maid fly a few steps away, and landed heavily on the ground, spitting out blood, but died after a few breaths.
"This son is slandering the concubine, the crime is unforgivable. Drag it to the pot."
The flames illuminated King Shang's stern face half-light, making it unpredictable.
The basin is the Ten Thousand Snakes Pool.It is an extremely cruel punishment in the palace.
Xi Mei watched as the attendants dragged away the palace lady's body, she hesitated to speak.
Outside the Shouxian Palace, there were only the voices of witches and attendants praying and chanting, and the torches were shining brightly, waiting for the queen inside to give birth, but no one went to find out who sent the maid to assassinate the queen while she was giving birth.
But in the Shouxian Palace separated by a wall, it is a completely different scene from the outside.
The fox demon Qingsi, who has transformed into Daji, has used her talent skills to charm all the servants in the inner palace, causing them to hallucinate and "witness" the scene of the queen's birth.
The miasma and Qingsi's eyes were blinded together, preventing her from seeing Daji and Tongtian who were a few steps away.
They are protecting the Dharma for Nuwa.
Daji held a small disk of six realms of reincarnation in her hand, and the mud tire incarnated by Nuwa sat on the disk of reincarnation wrapped in the breath of reincarnation.
The mud tire has grown to the size of an ordinary baby. It seems to be covered with a layer of mud shell, and it is in a cross-legged posture with its eyes closed.
A crack spread from the head of the mud tire to the back, and the gap was full of colorful light, which was extremely peaceful.When the cracks spread all over the body, it is the time when the muddy human is really born.
Tong Tian stood beside Daji, whispering bad things about Di Xin to her.
"That Emperor Xin clearly knew that the dagger was given to the eldest prince Yin Jiao by him in the past, but he directly pressed the matter. How can he treat you with the same care as the deity?"
He is a sage, and he knows the origin of the sharp blade by pinching his fingers, so he is dissatisfied.
Daji heard the words but reacted flatly.
"Even though Queen Jiang was convicted, Yin Hong in Yinjiao is still his son. I have the right to sacrifice and will give birth to a son. Di Xin is naturally on guard against me."
"Then you will still be his queen..."
Daji patted Tongtian's unruly paws away, and gave him a funny look.She has a thorough understanding of Tong Tian's little thoughts, but she is also happy to say what he likes to hear.road,
"It's just a false name, Di Xin is just a friend of interest, how can it compare with the relationship between you and me."
Tongtian was really happy after hearing this, but he was not too happy when he thought that Daji was still Emperor Xin's concubine.
He squinted at Di Xin outside the hall, snorted softly, turned his eyes to Nuwa's mud tire, and said with a straight face,
"Forget about Di Xin, he will get his name back sooner or later. But our daughter can't call him father, she can only call me!"
Here he swears patriarchy, never expecting that the father-daughter relationship between himself and his "daughter" is very weak...
At dawn the next day, with the first ray of morning light, Nu Wa came to the world.
The gate of Shouxian Palace opened, and the palace people announced the good news, "The queen gave birth to a little princess—"
Outside the hall, a smile appeared on Di Xin's stern face.
"Princess, very good."
He can't allow Daji to become the second Queen Jiang, even surpassing Queen Jiang, so his daughter is far more reassuring than his son.
But when Di Xin was about to go in to see his daughter, the attendant who had just dragged the maid's body to the basin ran back to report in a panic,
"Just now, all the snakes in the pond stood upright at the same time, bowed their heads quietly and bowed in this direction, it's amazing—"
The smile that Di Xin just showed disappeared, and then he turned his eyes to look at Shouxian Palace, with a glint in his eyes.
Pausing for a moment, he reprimanded softly, "There is no need to make a fuss about some small things."
In this world, gods and mortals coexist, so it is not uncommon for a few miraculous phenomena to occur.
Although Di Xin forbade his attendants to mention the worship of thousands of snakes in pots.The vision was suppressed, and the rewards were distributed as usual, showing the love for the queen and the newborn daughter.But this matter was spread out later, and it was connected with the princess.
However, because Daji is the great witch sacrifice, the spokesperson of the god, it is equivalent to the highest position of theocracy in Yin and Shang Dynasties.Di Xin is
As the nominal daughter of Daji Dixin, she is a combination of theocracy and royal power.
Even though there were rumors about the miraculousness of the princess inside and outside the palace, almost all of them were positive comments, and there were few negative comments.
Daji named Fengxi for her nominal daughter.
As the true reincarnation of Nuwa saint, Feng Xi was born extraordinary.
Unlike ordinary babies who are wrinkled and red when they are just born, Feng Xi's skin is white and smooth, and Yuxue is cute.
She was born without crying or fussing, and when someone talked to her, she would hum and look at the other person with a pair of black grape-like eyes, looking very cute and lovely.
"Wang Ji and the queen really look alike, and they make people feel close and like them as soon as they see each other."
The maids of Shouxian Palace all agreed with this statement.Daji listened but smiled and said nothing.
And just as people who have experienced reincarnation feel nostalgic for the mother of the earth and the earth, Nuwa is the real saint of the human race, so how can she not make people feel close?
Unexpectedly, this similar affinity turned out to be evidence of their mother-daughter relationship.
Feng Xi is extremely dependent on Daji, and can easily tell the difference between the real Daji and the fake Qingsi.
On the third day after she was born, she was able to speak, and the first thing she yelled was "A Niang".
"She really doesn't remember anything?"
In the inner room, Tong Tian stretched out an index finger to poke Feng Xi's rosy little face.
Xiao Fengxi opened a pair of clear eyes and tried to sideways avoid it, but she was too weak to move away, and was chased by Tong Tian and poked her face again.
A few tears welled up in her eyes, looking like she was about to cry or not, she opened her mouth and yelled "Aniang, Aniang" vaguely, waving her hands and feet, as if to express her dissatisfaction.
"What are you bullying her for?"
Daji opened his hand with a helpless expression.
"If she hadn't forgotten all her past, how could she have entered the Conferred God Tribulation and been recognized by the Dao of Heaven?"
"I really cried..."
Tongtian knew that Nu Wa would never cry, and being able to cry meant that she was really a baby now.
However, he is mainly unwilling to use reason as reason.
With a hint of depression, Tongtian raised his head and sincerely asked Daji,
"Then why doesn't she call me Father?"
Daji couldn't help laughing, thought for a while and said, "Just teach her more."
Tong Tian thought it was feasible, so he stayed by Feng Xi's side for two consecutive days, holding a spiritual fruit with a sweet smell, and taught her seriously.
"Daughter is good, call me Father, and I'll give you this if you call me."
"Come and learn from me, a—father—"
Feng Xi, who was born on the fifth day, can already crawl.
She sleeps with her eyes closed most of the time, and occasionally wakes up with her eyes open and calls Daji.Eat and drink can also be accurately conveyed.Only don't call "Father".
So much so that Tongtian changed lures into threats, and threatened Feng Xi, "My daughter, if you don't bark, I'll pinch your face!"
Then when Tongtian once again pierced her ear with the devil's voice, coaxing her to call "Father"——
Feng Xi replied "Good boy", and managed to run Tong Tian away.Even Daji didn't hold back.
Confirming that Tongtian was really angry and ran away, Daji touched Fengxi's small face and asked her, "Did you do it on purpose?"
Feng Xi pursed her mouth like a real child, hugged Daji's forearm and leaned towards her, but her voice was very firm,
"If you have a mother, you don't need a father...Feng Xi hates his father."
When Daji heard the words, she knew it in her heart.
Feng Xi doesn't hate Tong Tian.It was because Nuwa was hit hard by Fuxi when she was reincarnated for the first time, and it was from Fuxi that the human race changed the system of only knowing her mother but not her father, so that her dislike of patriarchy was rooted in her subconscious.
Sighing, Daji patted Feng Xi's head and said softly,
"There are some things you don't understand yet, but he did pay a lot for your birth, and he really loves you as a daughter. Even if you don't want to, don't deliberately anger him and make him sad."
Not to mention anything else, just talking about Tongtian giving a drop of blood essence to wish Nuwa's reincarnation is also risking being punished by heaven.This cause and effect cannot be ignored.
Feng Xi wrinkled her small face, shrunk into Daji's arms, and finally let out a muffled "Mmm" after a long while.
Slowly gave a response, "Next time...he comes back, I will call..."
Tongtian is unaware of the conversation between Daji and Fengxi.At that time, he was already outside the Huoyun Cave where the Three Emperors lived.
Tongtian came to trouble Fuxi.
He's not stupid, he was a little annoyed by Feng Xi at first, but after thinking about it, he guessed the reason why his daughter rejected his father's existence.
The daughter has forgotten everything before she was reincarnated, so why is she the only one who rejects her father so much?Think about the reason why Nu Wa failed to kill the corpse for the first time, everything is very clear.
In the past, Tongtian also vaguely knew that Nuwa gave birth to a heart demon after that time, but at that time Nuwa was just his nominal junior sister, and his friendship was average.At most, I would sigh that Fuxi, the elder brother, is not up to standard.
It's different now.Nu Wa became Feng Xi, his daughter, but because of Fu Xi's bastard, she refused to recognize her father.Can Tongtian bear it?
So on the surface he left in anger, but in fact he went to Huoyun Cave to trouble Fuxi.
In Huoyun Cave, the Three Emperors are sitting and discussing Taoism, and the aura of Shangqing is coming fiercely.
Xuanyuan teased Shen Nong, "Maybe he came to deliver something to the Emperor again?"
Shennong and Fuxi also thought so.
Tongtian is generous, last time he asked him to help cultivate flowers that can be planted in the underworld, and he gave a lot of good things.He could very well take another order.
Just as Xuanyuan and Fuxi were joking, and Shennong watched cheerfully, the leader of the Tongtian Sect in red came with a sword.
Before they could open their mouths, the sage asked first,
"I heard that the emperor Fuxi once comprehended the river map, performed innate gossip, and was good at divination?"
Shennong, Fuxi, and Xuanyuan looked at each other in blank dismay, this is well known.
Fuxi was so nervous when asked, he answered as friendly as possible, "Yeah, it's just that the machine is out of order now, so divination is not accurate."
"It doesn't matter if it counts."
Tong Tian shook his head, smiled and pulled out the Qingping sword, "I am here to ask you to practice the sword."
Fuxi, "..."
Let's show some face!Is there any relationship between the two before and after!
Of course, at this time his feeling is not so clear.
Daji hurried to the Sansheng Stone, took the restless mud tire from the stone, and hurried to the world again.

"Who asked you to come?"
Di Xin coldly questioned the court lady who was kneeling on the ground.
A trace of panic flashed across the face of the maid on the ground, hesitating, "Yes, it's Huang Niangniang..."
Concubine Huang, the younger sister of Huang Feihu, king of Wucheng, was a female general with a domineering personality. She even organized maids to train soldiers in the palace.
