Under One Person: Starting from the Inheritance of Gods

Chapter 74: The Fox That Attracts Disaster (New book on the shelves, please subscribe!)

Just when Daji was feeling sad, Meng Fan suddenly changed the subject: "But, are you really her?"

"What do you mean?"

Meng Fan smiled, a faint light reflected in his eyes, he stood up and faced her, and spoke directly to her.

"You just inherited the concept of Daji. You are the embodiment of people's impressions of Daji from ancient times to the present."

"In other words, you are just a new life, a brand new life that was born after I extracted the power of incense and vows to shape your divinity and authority and supernatural powers."

"Your memories, everything you know, are actually false. They are not what you experienced personally. Do you understand what I mean?"

Daji lowered her head and thought about Meng Fan's words, and from time to time she began to compare her memories. Gradually, an expression of disbelief appeared on her face.

"You've also discovered that your memory is fuzzy, incomplete, and even conflicting."

"Some people think that you are a nine-tailed fox spirit who brings disaster to the country and the people with her beauty, while others think that you are the innocent daughter of a prince, Daji."

"But can you tell which side it is?"

"The daughter of the princes receives the grace of the emperor, and wears gorgeous clothes embroidered with jade, silk and gold. She is as charming as a fairy from the ninth heaven, but in fact she is the fox that brought down the Shang Dynasty. She is burned to death, her bones are melted, and she is forged into red silk. She is poisoned by a scorpion pit and her soul is devoured. She causes the phoenix to sing throughout Mount Qishan, and the stars on the Lutai are all returned to the earth." Meng Fan recited slowly.

And finally asked: "Daji, who are you?"

Daji shook her fox head, somewhat doubting her fox life, and asked in confusion: "I... not me?"

Meng Fan took the opportunity to add fuel to the fire and said, "You are naturally not Daji. Of course you are also Daji, but you were born just carrying the concept of Daji. You are a man-made god."

"I gave you a body and life. In a sense, I created you, but the real Daji has long been lost in the dust of history."

Daji looked at Meng Fan with a complicated expression and gave up thinking. This matter was not something that her fox brain could handle.

So he gave up struggling and said, "Okay, whatever you say, whether it's Daji or not, what's your purpose in creating me?"

A gleam of light flashed in Daji's eyes, showing human-like wisdom.

Meng Fan thought for a moment, then said: "To be honest, you are just the first person I chose for the experiment, but I didn't expect that it would be successful on the first use."

"In the future, I will 'extradite' more gods and even creatures from myths and legends to come to this world. You are just the first one."

"You were chosen because you are famous and well-known to the public. You are one of the four famous beauties who brought disaster to the country and the people, like Mei Xi of Xia, Daji of Shang, Bao Si of Zhou, and Li Ji of Jin."

"It is relatively easy to extradite him with the power of incense and vows, and besides being a nine-tailed fox, he doesn't seem to have any other abilities to show off, which means he is not very aggressive."

Daji: I’m really sorry for being a waste!

Although I am reluctant to admit it, it seems that this is the fact!

After some heart-to-heart talks and inquiries with Daji, Meng Fan also figured out the specific abilities of the nine-tailed fox Daji. She has nine magical powers, which represent the number of her nine tails.

The illusion and deception that Meng Fan mentioned before actually have fixed names. The first is soul-chasing: the art of seizing or controlling a person's three souls, destroying or controlling the soul; the second is soul-stealing: the method of absorbing the seven souls, even extracting the soul of a person. In myths and legends, the nine-tailed fox replaced Daji's body by using these two magical powers.

The third move is: This is the method of condensing auspicious clouds. It can turn clouds and mist into substance, control auspicious clouds, have the power of flying on clouds, and can also attract clouds.

Of course, it is not as good as the flying clouds and mist among the thirty-six heavenly magical powers. After all, that method can travel to Beihai in the morning and Cangwu in the evening. The method of summoning clouds is only a means of carrying people to ascend.

The fourth is dream-marrying: fabricating dreams to enter other people, sending dreams, changing dreams, etc., which can also make the other person suffer from nightmares, destroy the other person's spirit, and even freely enter and exit other people's dreams and modify dreams.

The fifth is false form: changing appearance, either male or female, big or small, or into a mythical bird or beast. It is a kind of shapeshifting technique, but it is only the appearance that changes, not the inner self. When Daji deceived Bigan Linglong's heart, she changed into someone else.

The sixth incarnation: an incarnation with some functions of the real body, it is a state of Qi, not a real physical body. Most of them are clones of the three souls and seven spirits. However, Daji relies on the Nine-Tailed Fox and can split into nine incarnations. However, Daji mostly uses it to escape and confuse people.

The seventh is to ward off disasters: to ward off disasters and to resolve the disasters that one is facing, including but not limited to driving away locusts, curing diseases, eliminating plagues, praying for clear skies and stopping rain, etc. However, the power of heaven cannot be violated, and those who do it will of course also gain merits.

The nine-tailed fox is a beast of good fortune, a sign of prosperity and fertility, and naturally has the ability to ward off disasters and misfortunes. In the process of shaping Daji's divine authority, Meng Fan directed some of the incense and vows related to the nine-tailed fox.

However, as a person who brought disaster to the country and the people, Daji also had some kind of crow's mouth. Good things didn't work for her, but bad things did. This was what Meng Fan feared the most. In his opinion, she should be called a disaster-teller.

The eighth nightmare prayer: the fox tribe is skilled in magic, and uses magic to confuse people with illusions, which is simply called illusion. Those who fall into the magic feel like they are in a nightmare.

The ninth is to ask the immortals: to ask for help from the immortals or the guardian gods, to predict good and bad luck, or even to ask the gods and ancestors for help. Generally, when it is a big event or when ghosts cannot be defeated, the big guys from the upper world are asked to come down to the world to take charge.

However, most of the people Daji invited were foxes and ghosts, and she could only command small goblins weaker than herself.

When Meng Fan finished making the list, he glanced at Daji and asked with a playful look, "No more?"

Daji seemed to be seen through by Meng Fan, but she still acted scared and said coquettishly: "My king, I really don't have any more skills. You have squeezed out all my abilities."

"Then have you ever eaten Bigan's seven-aperture exquisite heart..."

Daji said dejectedly, "Okay, I told you. I knew I couldn't hide it from you. The last ability, the exquisite mind, has one more skill than Bi Gan. It can do many things at once and learns very quickly. It can be regarded as an auxiliary magical power."

"But after all, it's not mine. If I use it for a long time, it will drain my energy and make me weak and sick."

Meng Fan snorted coldly: "I knew you were going to hide something from me."

To be honest, Meng Fan was also surprised. He just tried to trick her casually, but he didn't expect that she would actually succeed.

Just a nine-tailed fox Daji has so many abilities. If it were someone else or a divine beast, who knows what kind of terrifying magical powers they would have.

This also made Meng Fan's choice more cautious.

However, with the ban in hand, I don't think he can do anything wrong.

This restriction is equivalent to the Divine Whip corresponding to the List of Conferred Gods. With the Divine Whip in hand, all the gods in the heavens summoned by Meng Fan must obey his orders.
