Being a human is hard, being a fox is even harder.
Gong Mengbi had no choice but to cling tightly to the thigh of the Mount Tai Goddess, aiming to pass the immortal official exam first.
Chapter 31: Bronze Palace
Granny Shi couldn't bear to see the scene where the music ended and everyone left, so she was the first to leave.
The little fat fox followed Granny Shi closely, and behind the little fat fox followed a group of little foxes, but their magic powers were low and they were not very impressive.
The foxes left in a procession, and the Yakshas followed suit.
The Yaksha ghost usually went to bed early, and now it was almost dawn, which had disrupted his regular sleep schedule. So he walked very fast, stepping on the wind and leaves, as fast as lightning, and disappeared in a flash.
The three sisters from Meirenling came over, carrying the sleepy fool who was already unable to open his eyes. They sighed and said, "We've guessed a lot, but we can still get a rough idea."
The silly Xiao Qi was raised in the countryside by his wet nurse, and it was his wet nurse who taught him to sing the Mountain Ghost Song.
Last year, Dai Gua's father passed away and his brother inherited the family business, which led to his reduction in expenses.
It was not easy for the wet nurse to get him something good. His health had not been good to begin with, and he caught a cold and died last month. So there was no one who could take care of him.
It was not until yesterday that Daigua was cleaned up by his brother and sister-in-law, dressed in new clothes, and taken out to appreciate the flowers.
We came together to enjoy the flowers, but left this idiot behind when we left.
Gong Mengbi listened to the three sisters' speculations one by one, and seeing that they were in a dilemma, he said, "Let him stay with me first. I'll see if I can call his soul back. If I can't, I'll arrange a place for him to go."
Gong Mengbi has a place to put this idiot. It is not easy to keep a person in the mountains, so sending him to the Shen family is an idea.
We kept him here because this soul separation syndrome is really interesting and strange.
Gong Mengbi likes troubles, and troubles often represent a deeper fate.
Judging from the response of the wishing tree, we will not return empty-handed this time.
As the sky was about to brighten, the three sisters could no longer stay, so they turned into a wisp of incense and went to Beauty Ridge.
As for the remaining Jin Chan, he naturally didn't say a word to him.
Wang Xiang glanced at the golden toad and then at Gong Mengbi.
Gong Mengbi winked at him and then winked at Quexian.
The Sparrow Fairy then took Wang Xiang's hand and followed behind the Golden Toad, "Yuan Yao, let's go, let's go to your Mirror Pond and play."
Jin Chan looked at Que Xian suspiciously: "Why do you suddenly want to come to my place to play?"
Wen Xiu raised Wang Xiang's hand and said, "Fu Luo loves water. As our new friend, shouldn't you take us with you?"
Jin Chan sneered, "Who is your friend? You are in cahoots with that fox."
Wang Xiang immediately lowered his head in disappointment, and curled up into a ball.
Wen Xiu complained, "I helped you after all, how come we're not friends?"
The golden toad walked forward and said impatiently, "You have wings. If you insist on coming here, can I still stop you?"
"Lululu," Wen Xiu silently stuck out his tongue at Jin Chan's back, then smiled and took Wang Xiang's hand and followed him.
In the end, the only ones left were the sleeping Daigua and his fellow apprentices Menghua and Wen Mengchun.
Gong Mengbi had been chatting with them for most of the night using magic. When the two men walked forward, the fox spirits around them disappeared, leaving only Gong Mengbi in the main seat.
Gong Mengbi invited, "My two immortal friends, I regret not being able to meet you sooner. Why don't you stay with me for a few more days so I can show my hospitality."
Meng Hua declined politely, "I have my master's orders and cannot stay long. We will meet again someday."
Wen Mengchun glanced at Menghua, then looked away.
Gong Mengbi laughed. Although he really wanted to marry them, in such a situation, the more he did, the more alert he would become.
He did not force her to stay, but only said with regret: "When we meet again in the future, you will treat me to a drink."
"Okay!" Menghua agreed.
Gong Mengbi said again: "In that case, could you please reveal your true appearance so that we can recognize each other in the future?"
Meng Hua looked at Wen Mengchun, and Wen Mengchun took out the mirage bead, and the mirage that enveloped the two of them returned to the bead, revealing the tall and mighty senior brother and the baby-faced junior brother.
Gong Mengbi looked at it carefully and said, "I remember it."
He escorted the two out of the ancient forest and said, "Goodbye."
The mountain wind was blowing, and the shadows of the two people soon disappeared among the grass and trees.
After leaving Wuhuan Peak, Wen Mengchun smiled and said, "Senior Brother, it turns out you can lie too."
Meng Hua gave him a strange look: "When did I ever say I wouldn't lie?"
Wen Mengchun asked, "Is there something wrong with that fox fairy?"
Meng Hua exhaled: "I don't know, so I stay away from it."
This is an effective way to deal with people you don't understand.
Gong Mengbi could understand Menghua's fear very well, so he let him go easily.
Cultivating a bond is a very mysterious thing and cannot be forced. Gong Mengbi is a sea king and doesn't care about two fish that are temporarily off the hook.
Shouyue Tower returned to silence.
Gong Mengbi even had the leisure to climb to the roof to enjoy the sunrise. Watching the fiery red sun leap out of the sea of clouds, it was a blooming vitality.
Idiot Xiao Qi was sleeping soundly.
Gong Mengbi grabbed his clothes and dragged him to the top floor, where he performed a ritual under the tablet of Mount Tai's goddess.
The fool is missing a soul and a spirit, there is a missing string in his brain, and his mind is like that of a child.
He retained the innocent curiosity of a child, which was nurtured by his wet nurse with patience and love.
Gong Mengbi sealed the doors and windows, lit incense to help, and turned the entire Shouyue Tower into a quiet room.
The silly Xiao Qi slept more and more soundly, the fragrance penetrated into his chest and lungs, nourishing his soul.
Gong Mengbi sat next to Xiao Qi, stretching out his big red tail and wrapping Xiao Qi in it.
Is it an illusion? Or a dream?
Before my eyes was a towering palace, gleaming with the luster of red gold and purple copper.
Xiao Qi looked dazed and felt unfamiliar with everything around him.
"Xiao Qi, what are you standing there for? Why don't you go and give the Empress some spiritual fruit?"
Xiao Qi looked in the direction of the voice and saw a snake woman talking to him.
The snake girl wore a white gauze dress on her upper body and a snake tail on her lower body, with scales as white as snow.
She was very beautiful, with her hair tied up on top of her head and a strand hanging down at her temples, which was particularly charming.
Xiao Qi didn't seem to find it strange.
He held a plate of red fruit in his hand, and his snake tail moved as he swam towards the bronze palace.
The copper palace is hot.
The brass floor, the copper palace walls, and the red gold tiles all seemed to have a fiery aura, making Xiao Qi feel a little uncomfortable.
He is already very familiar with this road.
He swam into the palace, the palace gates were wide open, and thousands of bronze chains hung from the palace, like thousands of bronze snakes.
These copper chains crisscrossed to form a wriggling chain lotus platform.
In the lotus pedestal, a beautiful woman in a black gauze dress, revealing her slender legs, was leaning against the wall. One hand supported her beautiful face, and the other hand stretched out her slender jade fingers, gently sliding on the chain, seeming to be full of charm.
Xiao Qi carried the fruit plate through the copper lock jungle, came to the front of the beautiful woman, and placed the fruit plate in front of her.
Two copper chains were woven together, holding the fruit plate in between.
The beautiful woman raised the jade fingers that were stroking the chains, stroked Xiao Qi's face, lifted his chin, and made him look at her.
The eyes of a beautiful woman are infinitely soft and tender.
"Xiao Qi?"
Xiao Qi looked at the beautiful woman in confusion: "My Lady?"
"Nothing." A hint of doubt flashed across the beautiful woman's eyes, and then she withdrew her finger and said, "You did a good job, go down."
