Chapter 171 Imperial Edict
"Okay, let's go in and talk." Pei Duyan spoke at the right time.
As if waking from a dream, everyone surrounded Feng Tianning and Pei Duyan and walked into the prefectural mansion.
"Nuwa, please take your seat."
The prefect respectfully invited Feng Tianning to the main seat, and sat down below himself.
Pei Duyan looked at him with some displeasure. They were both "immortals", so why was Feng Tianning treated so much better than him?
"How did you confirm my identity?" Feng Tianning asked coldly.
She did not miss the look in Zhizhou's eyes when he just woke up, as if he saw a familiar person.
The prefect said hurriedly:
"Reporting to Goddess Nuwa, you are the protector of the Great Cang Nation, and we have worshipped you for generations."
"Your Majesty has already issued an order that officials of the fourth rank and above must build a shrine for you in their homes and enshrine your portrait there."
After saying that, he pressed a mechanism and a secret room flipped out from behind the wall.
After the prefect went in for a while, he came out again with a brocade box in his hand.
He carefully opened the brocade box and took out the painting inside. The moment the scroll unfolded, everyone held their breath for a moment.
"Nuwa, this is the portrait that His Majesty asked us to enshrine."
The person in the portrait is 70% similar to Feng Tianning, but it is a Chun ink painting, and the remaining 30% has been automatically ignored by everyone.
Pei Du looked at Feng Tianning hesitantly, he remembered that this seemed to be the woman painted on the wall of the ancient tomb.
"Nuwa?" Pei Duyan couldn't help but say these four words.
After a moment, he shook his head and denied his own thoughts. How could Feng Tianning be Nuwa?
She clearly looked about the same age as him, maybe even a few years younger, so how could she be an ancient god?
Pei Duyan couldn't help but laugh. How could he have such a ridiculous idea just now?
Feng Tianning coughed lightly and said:
“That’s thoughtful.”
She looked at the painting carefully, and then she realized that it was the last time she came to the Fangcun Realm. At that time, she came with Fuxi.
They have sensed the impending catastrophe and are worried that this place will also be affected, so they want to come in and investigate.
It just so happened that the Da Cang Kingdom had just been established at that time, and the people were living in dire straits, with epidemics and refugees everywhere.
Feng Tianning couldn't bear to see the newly born country perish in the world, so he helped them and taught the king of Da Cang the prescriptions for treating the epidemic and the methods of growing crops.
Within half a year, the Da Cang Kingdom had already begun to show signs of prosperity and was no longer the same as it was at the beginning.
Just as they were about to leave, the first king of Da Cang Kingdom stopped them and wanted to know the name of the benefactor who came from the sky to save them.
Feng Tianning only left behind the two words "Nuwa", while Fuxi left behind "Cang".
From then on, one became the god they worshipped for generations, and the other became the name of their country that would be passed down forever.
Thinking of the past, Feng Tianning was a little absent-minded for a moment, and a smile unconsciously appeared on her face, until Pei Duyan's voice called her back.
"Feng...Nuwa Goddess, let's talk about business." Pei Duyan coughed lightly.
Feng Tianning came back to his senses and nodded:
"I came down to earth this time to look for someone."
"They... are my guardians. Due to a moment of negligence, they escaped to the mortal world. This time, I intend to take them away."
The prefect nodded hurriedly and placed a token respectfully on the table.
"Nuwa, this token can dispatch all of Qingzhou's troops, horses, and food supplies. You can use it at will."
Just as Feng Tianning picked up the token, hurried footsteps were heard outside.
"Sir, please come and receive the order."
A shrill voice came from outside. The moment the prefect saw the person coming, his face turned pale and he knelt down tremblingly.
"I am here."
A man with greasy hair and powdered face walked in and his eyes fell on Feng Tianning and Pei Duyan.
Cold sweat was already running down the magistrate's face. Just when he was about to collapse, the visitor finally took out the bright yellow object from the box.
"By the providence of Heaven, the Emperor decrees."
"I am very pleased to hear that Goddess Nuwa has arrived in Qingzhou."
"I will reward the Qingzhou governor with ten thousand taels of gold as a reward."
Pei Duyan lowered his voice and said in Feng Tianning's ear:
"This man must be a eunuch."
The prefect hurriedly kowtowed to express his gratitude, stood up and took the bright yellow imperial edict.
"Thank you, Eunuch Su."
"I wonder if Your Majesty has any other instructions?"
Su Gongan patted the prefect's shoulder soothingly and said:
"Don't worry, Sir Liu. His Majesty was delighted to hear that Nuwa had descended. He said it must be because of Sir Liu's meritorious governance that Nuwa had descended."
Eunuch Su walked up to Feng Tianning with a smile and said:
"Your Majesty is very eager to meet the Goddess Nuwa."
"A few days ago, several immortals also came to the palace. Your Majesty thought that since they were all immortals, Nuwa would probably know them."
Feng Tianning and Pei Duyan looked at each other and instantly thought of the missing Fu Ruxuan and others.
She hesitated for a moment and nodded.
"I guess they are those boys under my command who are greedy for worldly affairs."
"In that case, I'll go there."
Seeing that Feng Tianning did not show any displeasure on his face, Eunuch Su breathed a sigh of relief and said:
"Then I'll have to trouble the goddess Nuwa."
"His Majesty also said that the journey is long, so please ask Goddess Nuwa to cast her magic and lead us back to the palace."
"This way you can meet those immortals sooner."
Pei Duyan was shocked for a moment. He didn't expect that the emperor was so suspicious and actually came up with this method to test them.
He looked at Feng Tianning with some worry, wondering if she could lead so many people.
Feng Tianning looked straight at Eunuch Su and chuckled softly:
"Can."
She took out the space spell hidden in her sleeve and lit it behind her. The next moment, a white door appeared in front of everyone.
"Come in."
Feng Tianning gestured towards Eunuch Su and the others.
Fortunately, she had drawn a few space spells before entering the Qinling Mountains, which allowed her to reach a destination instantly even if it was thousands of miles away. She didn't expect to use them here.
Eunuch Su looked at the strange door doubtfully and stopped outside, not daring to go in.
"Nuwa, this..."
He looked at Feng Tianning hesitantly. After all, no one knew what was behind the door. If it was an evil ghost or a ferocious beast, their lives would be lost here.
Feng Tianning glanced at Pei Duyan, motioned him to follow, and then walked in.
Eunuch Su and others behind him gritted their teeth and followed him in.
The next moment, a white light flashed before their eyes, and the scene in front of them changed instantly.
