I asked you to play a dungeon, why don't you just raise the BOSS here?

Chapter 429: Su Daji and Nv'erhong, we are human beings, not gods
When Su Hu heard Lin Xuan's promise to help, he was overjoyed. For a moment, both the host and the guests were having a great time and chatting happily.

After the banquet, Lin Xuan wandered around Jizhou City.

When I returned to the Marquis' Mansion, I saw that Su Hu had already arranged the accompanying guards and maids.

The next morning after breakfast, when the carriage was ready, Su Hu ordered his daughter Daji to leave home.

Growing up in such a family, the little girl was influenced by her surroundings and naturally had no good feelings towards King Zhou, Di Xin, and was very reluctant to marry to Chaoge.

But the situation was stronger than the person. Seeing this situation, Daji knew that she could not escape, so she had to bid farewell to her mother and elder brother in tears and stayed in the car obediently.

Su Hu felt that this escort mission was extremely embarrassing. When he saw Daji getting on the car, he hurriedly urged them to set off.

Although Su Hu said that the Shang Dynasty was extremely rubbish, as if it would be destroyed at any time.

But in fact, the Shang Dynasty still had at least ten years of good fortune, and without the nine-tailed fox causing trouble, the people were far from living in misery.

Even now, there are many experts inside and outside the court, and the work is in full swing.

Well, monks these days don’t have so many bad tempers, and they don’t feel ashamed to serve as officials.

Even a peerless demon like Kong Xuan was just a general in Sanshan Pass, on the same level as Li Jing.

Su Hu is a marquis after all. Although his generals do not have any magical powers, they are strong and skilled in martial arts.

Daji is not Tang Monk, so there is no saying that eating her can make you immortal.

Apart from the nine-tailed fox who came to complete the mission, other monsters didn't seem to have any interest in this girl.

I didn't even meet a Wong Tai Sin on the road.

Occasionally, they would encounter a few short-sighted bandits, and the eager-to-show family generals would rush forward and easily kill them all, giving Lin Xuan no chance to take action at all.

Well, the will of the plane hasn’t come to trouble Lin Xuan recently, and he is living a peaceful and stable life.

Lin Xuan felt that perhaps Daji's entry into Chaoge was a trend of the times and destiny...

From this point of view, his position was consistent with the will of the plane, so the will of the plane chose to temporarily stop the war.

Of course, it is also possible that the plane will has a certain understanding of its own strength.

I feel that ordinary means are useless, so I plan to do something big...

Lin Xuan didn’t really care what the consideration was.

When the enemy comes, we will fight them; when the water comes, we will block it with earth, it all depends on what we have.

After a few more days of travel, the convoy arrived in Enzhou.

The local officials of Enzhou had received the news long ago, so they did not dare to neglect it and came quickly to pay a visit and arranged Su Hu and his party into the official residence.

Treason is a serious crime, and theoretically Su Hu is still guilty.

However, considering that King Zhou would not take the daughter of a criminal as his concubine...

Therefore, Su Hu's current status as a prince has not been explicitly revoked.

They are also top-level aristocrats who are above everyone else.

Plus, if I send my daughter to be a princess, it's very likely that I'll be able to ascend to heaven overnight...

As a result, these local officials flattered the emperor to the utmost.

He ordered people to clean the courtyard and the inner rooms early in the morning. The ground was covered with yellow sand and the fragrance was refreshing.

Hundreds of elite soldiers were also sent to guard the inner and outer courtyards of the general's residence.

However, Lin Xuan felt that Su Hu seemed very dissatisfied with this reception standard...

He had a sour face from beginning to end, and looked at everyone as if he were a traitor.

The local officials in Enzhou felt that the atmosphere was not right and were afraid that innocent people would be implicated.

After exchanging a few polite words and arranging the meal, he left hastily, not daring to stay even a moment longer.

In this kind of situation, having a good relationship with Su Hu may not necessarily bring any rewards, and making an enemy will only bring endless troubles.

After everyone had dinner, the Xu drum had already started to sound in Enzhou City, and it was already the first watch.

Well, it was around seven in the evening.

People in ancient times did not have much of a nightlife and generally went to bed early.

Well, it’s hard to say whether they sleep or not, but at least they generally go to bed early…

Daji was in frail health and had been exhausted from days of travel.

Su Hu didn't like his daughter very much, so he gave her a few instructions and asked the maid to take her to the inner courtyard to rest.

He stayed in the front yard with a group of his generals, reading military books and making plans for the future, acting like a wise man.

***
In this state, Lin Xuan naturally had no plans to wash up and go to bed.

People who practice Taoism can think about an idea day and night for a hundred years.

You can also fall into a sound sleep and have a long dream of the vast ocean and clouds.

Sleep is no longer a physiological need, but more of a state of cultivation and contemplation.

Now is certainly not a good time to practice meditation. Lin Xuan looked around, ordered a pot of wine, and sat alone in the inner courtyard patio to drink.

The inner courtyard was where Daji and several maids lived, and ordinary household guards were not allowed to enter.

However, Lin Xuan is now a wandering immortal and is no longer the same species as humans. He does not need to follow secular rules.

Affected by the cause and effect of the killing disaster, the gods in the Conferred God plane are generally low-key...

Regardless of whether they are good guys or bad guys, or whether they are conspirators or overt schemes, at least they follow the rules on the surface and don't resort to any despicable means.

Some prudent immortals never step out of the house, trying their best not to be on the list.

In the eyes of ordinary people who are unaware of the inside story, the reputation of immortals is actually quite good.

"It's about time. It's time to take action on the nine-tailed fox, right? Could it be that this guy is lost?"

"It shouldn't be so abstract... Is it because I intervened and caused a butterfly effect?"

As a pot of wine was about to be finished, Lin Xuan looked up at the moonlight and pondered to himself.

According to the original novel of Investiture of the Gods, the key point of Daji's plot should be here.

At that time, the postmaster told Su Hu that a demon had appeared here three years ago, and that most of the dignitaries passing by here would stay in the camp in the future. He advised Su Hu to take his daughter and stay in the camp to ensure peace of mind.

When Su Hu heard this, he immediately became stubborn again and said that he was upright and not afraid of any demons or monsters.

His own daughter is a noble lady of the emperor, and it is inappropriate for her to live in the camp.

The postmaster did not dare to say much and had to clean the official residence and let Su Hu and his party move in.

This story probably means that Su Hu didn't listen to others' advice and deserved to die.

But the nine-tailed fox has always lived in Xuanyuan Tomb.

Moreover, Lin Xuan felt that even if this fox had some magical powers, it was not so good as to know three years in advance that Nuwa was going to ask her to do something, and then come all the way here to take advantage of it...

Besides, the nine-tailed fox is a real alien fox that has been practicing for thousands of years.

When Yang Jian, Lei Zhenzi, and Wei Hu were ordered to capture the three of them, the three nine-tailed fox demons were no match for them, but they were able to fight and flee, jumping up and down...

Finally, Nuwa could no longer bear it and ordered the boy Biyun to take out the demon-binding rope, and only then were the three demons captured.

Although this battle record does not seem to be very good, Yang Jian and others are the top masters among the three generations of disciples of the Chan sect.

By this calculation, the nine-tailed fox is most likely a demon king comparable to Bai Suzhen.

It is very likely that the original goblin here was scared away immediately when he saw the nine-tailed fox coming fiercely...

With the nine-tailed fox's cultivation level, it would take less than a minute for him to take over Su Daji's body.

So, this matter is not Su Hu's fault...

Living in a military camp is probably useless, it's just my fate.

"Taoist Lin!"

Just as Lin Xuan was thinking secretly, the door opened and Daji walked up to Lin Xuan with small steps, holding a jar of wine with some difficulty.

"Well, you haven't slept yet?"

Lin Xuan put down the wine utensils in his hands and nodded.

Those days were not so feudal. Although there were some distinctions between men and women, they were far less strict than in later generations.

Because Lin Xuan had a special identity, Daji did not deliberately avoid him and would occasionally say a few words to him.

How should I put it, this girl’s looks are indeed the kind that would bring disaster to the country and the people, but her temperament is actually quite pure.

At most, I can say that she has some pure sensual style, which fits the ideal goddess in the minds of older otakus, but she is definitely not as sexy as described in the book.

It seems right...

Daji was only fourteen or fifteen years old at that time, and was the eldest daughter of a marquisate with strict family education. She had no chance of becoming a maid at all.

The one behind is also a nine-tailed fox. This girl is just a tool to take the blame.

"I arrived in Chaoge in a few days. I couldn't sleep. I just went to the window to get some fresh air and saw the Taoist drinking alone."

Daji's cheeks blushed slightly: "Master, you have a huge appetite, and a mere pot of wine is probably not enough to satisfy you. I remembered that I have a jar of wine with me, so I will give it to you."

"It's OK for people like us who practice Taoism. Ordinary people will still make mistakes when drinking. If you go out, don't persuade others to drink..."

Lin Xuan stretched out his hand to break the mud seal: "The wine is indeed good. I didn't expect you to like this."

He and Daji had only known each other for a few days, and he really didn't expect that this girl would take the initiative to invite him for a drink.

In Lin Xuan's impression, apart from the unrestrained women of the world like Kankan, only Li Qingzhao was so unrestrained.

"No, no..." Daji was stunned for a moment, and quickly shook her head: "I never drink. This wine was buried by my father when I was born. It has been stored for more than ten years. My father originally said that I would drink it when I got married."

"Wedding wine, that should be the daughter's wine, right?"

Lin Xuan hesitated for a moment, then laughed and said, "It's such a waste to give this wine to me."

"What is 'daughter's wine'? Oh, I understand what you mean, Taoist..."

Daji was stunned: "We don't have such a saying, but this name sounds pretty good."

"It should be a statement made by later generations, but there is no need to worry about it."

Lin Xuan took a sip of Daji's daughter's red wine: "Let me drink this wine, the King of Shang won't be able to drink it."

"As the daughter of a criminal, it would be too deliberate for me to give the king this wine. I didn't want to bring it originally, and my father didn't mention it at all."

"After I left, my mother said that it was like my daughter was getting married, and we probably wouldn't see each other again. So she asked me to take this wine with me as a reminder."

Daji sighed, "It's better to give you this wine. If I really want to offer it to King Zhou, my father will accuse me of seducing the king and bringing disaster to the country and the people."

"Has your father-daughter relationship always been so bad?"

"Actually, when I was a kid, my dad doted on me a lot..."

"But one day a Taoist priest came and told Dad that I would become King Zhou's concubine and bring disaster to the world."

"Dad was very angry at the time and asked the Taoist priest about his origins. The Taoist priest refused to tell me, so Dad wanted to chase him away."

Daji pursed her lips and said, "The Taoist priest smiled when he saw this, and then he showed his magic skills. Only then did Daddy believe it."

"What magic?"

"My mother told me that the Taoist priest broke off a branch of a peach tree, stuck it in the soil, and then found a bottle to water it."

"The dead branch immediately grew into a peach tree, and it was full of peaches. Everyone in the mansion saw it."

Daji's eyes sparkled: "The Taoist said that these peaches are not fairy peaches, and they are nothing special. Please share them with everyone."

"This is quite a casual style..."

Lin Xuan nodded and said, "Then what?"

This doesn't sound like a sleight of hand.

Lin Xuan guessed that it was probably a variant of the Thirty-Six Tiangang Techniques of Returning Wind and Fire or Resurrection.

Even if he needs to use magic weapons, he should have some real skills.

Since the other person refuses to talk about his or her origins, there is no need to ask about his or her appearance or attire.

For practitioners at this level, changing their appearance is extremely easy.

Well, this can somewhat explain Su Hu’s outrageous behavior.

"Dad didn't quite believe it at the time, so he asked the Taoist what to do. The Taoist said that Daji's chaotic business was destiny, and destiny cannot be violated."

"If we really want to crack it, I'm afraid that only if I die as a child, the fate will be transferred to someone else, and my Su family will not be cursed for eternity."

"Dad's face changed drastically when he heard this, and after the Taoist priest left, he didn't talk much about it."

"But since then, Daddy no longer likes me. A while ago, I heard that King Zhou wanted to take me as his concubine. Daddy secretly sighed at night and said that the Taoist priest was right."

Daji looked a little aggrieved: "Master Lin, you are also a deity, do you think I am really a demon concubine in troubled times?"

"If it is really fate that cannot be defied, then what the Taoist said should be pretty much correct."

"But Daji is Daji, and you are you. There is still a little difference between the two."

Lin Xuan pondered for a moment and comforted him, "Think of something good. You may not even see that day."

Speaking of which, when Jiang Ziya was conferred the title of God, there were still plenty of vacancies.

Not to mention King Zhou, even Lao Jiang’s ex-wife, Ma, was given the divine title of “broom star”.

But as for the girl Daji, no one mentioned her from beginning to end.

Lin Xuan guessed that the girl might have lost her soul when she was possessed by the nine-tailed fox, and her soul could not be sealed unless it entered the Conferred God Platform.

He clearly didn't do anything bad and didn't get any benefits, but he left behind a bad reputation that will last forever.

It’s still quite unfair.

"Daji is Daji, and I am me?"

Daji stared at Lin Xuan in a daze and said hesitantly, "According to this statement, the evil deeds done by the demon concubine Daji have nothing to do with me?"

"That's how it should be."

"Since I didn't do it..."

Daji took a deep breath and said, "So the Demon Concubine Daji is actually someone else pretending to be me?"

"Ms. Daji is quite clever."

Lin Xuan glanced at the girl with some surprise: "It's getting close."

"Well, my mother actually said that I'm quite smart."

Daji seemed a little happy, showing her small white teeth: "So that person's identity is not to be revealed, and he can only approach King Zhou in my name?"

"Keep talking."

"I think it's a bit problematic. If the person is not very good-looking, but she can pretend to be me, then she can pretend to be someone else."

"In this case, she can enter the palace by simply renovating her appearance. There is no need to go through so much trouble."

Daji frowned slightly: "It's not right to bring up my status. I am the daughter of a criminal. Is there anyone with a lower status than me?"

"It's not a question of status."

Lin Xuan drank the wine in the glass slowly: "What if that person is not a human?"

"not human?"

Daji was stunned for a moment, then let out a sigh: "So that's how it is, I was actually possessed by a ghost, that's why I did those ridiculous things?"

"It should be possessed by a monster."

Lin Xuan flicked his sleeves and said, "This kind of thing is almost like being possessed by a ghost. You've answered very well. Don't worry about this little detail."

"Master Lin is really good at comforting people..."

Daji was somewhat speechless: "So, I was already dead at that time?"

"Since the body has been taken over by the monster, it is natural that the soul has been scattered."

"So this is how I died. Thank you, Master Lin, for telling me. Now I can be a clear-headed ghost..."

Daji was silent for a moment, then sighed softly: "Master Lin, could you please not tell my father about this?"

"Why?"

"Dad was afraid that King Zhou would find out about me, so he has not allowed me to go out in the past few years. Unfortunately, I still can't escape..."

"If I really become a demon concubine, my parents will feel ashamed and angry with me. But after so many years, they have been prepared for this. At most, they will just treat me as if I don't exist as their daughter."

"But if I were killed by a monster, my parents would probably still be sad and would want to avenge me."

Daji's eyes were full of smiles: "They are all ordinary people, they are definitely no match for the demons. Besides, there is God behind the demons, and in the end, they will only lose their lives in vain."

"Your idea is rare."

Lin Xuan nodded: "Okay, I won't tell your father."

"Thank you, Master Lin! After telling you all this, I feel much better."

"Besides my father and my elder brother, Master Lin is the only man I have spoken to in the past few years."

Daji smiled and said, "Master, you have worked hard on this journey. I don't think I will have to trouble you in a few days, right?"

"It won't take that long."

"what?"

"Just now I sensed a demonic aura flowing rapidly in Enzhou City. It's probably that the demon is looking for your whereabouts."

Lin Xuan calculated: "At this rate, it should take less than an incense stick for the monster to arrive."

"..."

Daji was a little stunned: "Is the Taoist priest saying that I will die after one stick of incense?"

"If it were according to the original destiny, it would most likely be like this."

Lin Xuan smiled and said, "But since I am here, destiny should be changed a little bit."

"This one……"

Daji was a little worried: "Master Lin is a god, so he is not afraid of monsters. But since this is God's will, will it anger God if Master helps me?"

"God won't give my daughter red wine to drink."

"what?"

"Heaven's way is Heaven's way, and human's way is human's way. We are human, not heaven, so we don't need to care too much about what God thinks."

"Besides, I have offended God several times, so this little bit of trouble doesn't matter."

Lin Xuan waved his hand: "Go back and rest. I'll let the monster meet you later. We can still discuss things."

Daji:"……"
