Chapter 122: The Fox Transforms and the Mother-in-law Passes Away
Although the waning moon is not full, the moonlight is still bright and clear.
The moonlight fell on Fox Hill and in the center of the Fox Courtyard.
Gong Mengbi gave a lecture in front of the altar of the Goddess of Mount Tai and the Jade Fairy Goddess. He talked about the subject of cultivation, which was also the most concerned issue for all the foxes in the Fox Courtyard.
Gong Mengbi said, "When I first gathered the foxes to meet at Fox Hill, I told you there were three paths you could take. Does anyone remember?"
The white-footed fox immediately raised his hand, and Gong Mengbi pointed at him to answer: "Li Tayun, you answer."
Li Taoyun shook his head and said, "The best ones are those who pass the entrance exam to become students of the Heavenly Fox Academy, practice to transcend, and become immortals."
"Those among them will mingle in the underworld and the government, and live a life of wealth and peace."
"The worst ones become fox ghosts and ghosts, trying their best to keep their spirits clear."
Gong Mengbi nodded and said, "Just remember it. It's hard to find something better than that, it all depends on your luck, so I'm going to teach you how to find it now."
"One of them needs to live in the human world for a long time, so the most important thing is to learn human form and speak human language."
"My fox clan likes to establish connections and cultivate transcendence. The main thing is the word borrowing."
"I see some of you practicing Qi-gathering. This is using the breath through the mouth and nose to influence people's qi and nature, thus completing their human form."
"There are also those who transform into men and women, taking the yin and yang energy of others during intercourse, combining it with their own energy, and cultivating into a human form."
"Or perhaps they take a dead person's skull and wear it on their head, feeling the spirit within, and worship the moon to transform."
"But no matter which method you use, you still need to borrow the energy of others to cultivate your own human form. Today I will teach you how to cultivate a human form."
Gong Mengbi stretched out his hand and his magic power turned into two human anatomical diagrams, one red and one white.
"To become a human, one must understand the human form. As the saying goes, it's difficult to paint the bones of a tiger even if you can only paint its skin. The same is true for becoming a human. If you can only create the skin and fur but fail to capture the essence of the bones, then even if you become a human, you'll still have the appearance of a fox."
"For example, the unretractable tail and ears, the sharp fangs and claws, the pointed face and fur. These are all due to differences in structure from humans, so we need to first understand how humans develop."
Gong Mengbi used his magical powers to transform the human skeletal structure and internal organs and displayed them one by one.
Then let the foxes compare their fox shapes with human shapes one by one to find out the differences and similarities between them.
After this transformation, you will know how to make the best use of your strengths and avoid your weaknesses.
But a person’s image is not just bones and flesh, what is more important is the person’s spirit.
Even if one becomes more human-like, if one cannot change the human aura, one cannot deceive dogs if one carries a fox aura, and one cannot deceive people who practice cultivation if one carries a demon aura.
"So understanding the human form only allows you to know how humans grow. The most important thing is to influence their aura. You absorb the breath from the mouth and nose, the yin and yang energy, and the spiritual energy of the skull, all for the purpose of influencing their aura."
"But if you take the breath from the mouth and nose, the breath will be mixed; if you take the yin and yang energy from a person, the breath will be chaotic; if you take the spiritual energy from a person's skull, the breath will be dead.
Therefore, whether it's the breath from the mouth and nose, the yin and yang energy, or the spiritual energy of the bones, the key is to be concise and precise, and ideally, to achieve success in one go. So how can one achieve success in one go? One must study and practice calligraphy, diligently cultivate oneself, and pay homage to the gods of heaven and earth, honing a keen mind and perception to minimize detours.
Otherwise, the more detours you take, the more mixed your aura becomes, the harder it will be to succeed, and the more flaws you will encounter."
The more important point that Gong Mengbi did not mention is that the key to establishing a relationship, practicing, and taking shortcuts lies in the word "borrowing". However, if you borrow, you must repay. How to establish a good relationship and handle the debt relationship between people is an even more difficult learning.
If you make random connections with wild foxes like these, it is very likely that in the end what you borrow will not be enough to repay them.
It’s just that these contents are more profound and obscure, and it’s not time for them to consider them yet.
Gong Mengbi wants to pass on his experience to them and guide them onto the right path, so when they form a bond, they will naturally make choices.
If we simply explain the interests involved without providing guidance, they will likely resort to various methods to circumvent the debt. But while they may be able to evade debt for a while, they won't be able to do so forever. The net of heaven is vast and wide, and nothing can escape it. This will likely lead to even greater bitter consequences.
Even Gong Mengbi himself had to be vigilant about the differentiation between knowledge and action, and be wary of being too clever, while his virtue fell behind.
Gong Mengbi spent the entire night teaching them about the human body.
These foxes' memories are no better than humans'. Teaching them once doesn't mean they will learn it. It is more likely that they will forget it in one day.
However, Gong Mengbi had anticipated this and wrote down what he was teaching while giving lectures. He wrote it in fox script and called it "Gong's Fox Book".
Because it is written in fox language, foxes can understand it naturally, but humans cannot understand it, which can at least prevent it from being leaked and copied by others.
After Gong Mengbi's lecture, Kang Wen took charge of the fox book and led the foxes to review it continuously until the next time he came to conduct a random check. If they had learned enough, he would teach them how to influence people's aura.
If we proceed step by step, we will eventually be able to train these foxes. Even if not all of them can become immortals, at least they won't be scared to death by dogs when they go out.
Gong Mengbi's predecessor died before he could accomplish his mission, and he is still frightened by this. This will probably become a dark history that he will never want to mention in his life.
The story lasted until late at night, when the sky was gradually getting brighter, and Gong Mengbi finally released these small-brained foxes.
Looking at their sad faces, drooping ears and tails, as if there were dark clouds hanging over their heads, I couldn't help but shake my head.
Where are we now?
This is just a matter of slightly refining the art of transforming into a human form. It is only the first step towards success.
Gong Mengbi was admitted as a student of Tianhu Academy, and spent another ten years to come out on top in every examination before he finally caught the eye of the Jade Fairy Goddess in the last major examination. He was registered as an immortal before he even started working.
How can words describe the hard work involved?
"The road ahead is long and arduous." Gong Mengbi sighed and went back to his room to rest.
