Chapter 125: Yue Mansion's Great Victory
Sure enough, the City God said, "I hope you three can help me in the future and help me manage the Yin and Yang worlds of Wuning County."
Taoist Master Yao and Zen Master Faming naturally felt obliged to do so, but Gong Mengbi simply smiled and said, "I only have a few wild foxes under my command, and I'm afraid they're not up to much use. If the City God doesn't mind, I could send a few of them to help you with your internal affairs, or perhaps even serve as menial servants in the Three Departments, doing menial tasks."
Taoist Master Yao and Zen Master Fa Ming were in frequent contact with the common people, so they were very helpful in changing the reputation of the City God. However, Gong Mengbi sent them away directly, which made the City God both happy and worried.
He was naturally happy that he had manpower available, but he was worried that the fox was planning something bad - although he said it politely, in his heart, the City God still distrusted the fox.
But now is the time to hire people. The three positions of the City God are vacant. Apart from the gatekeepers, there are only two judges who can run errands. If anything goes wrong, they will be busy and exhausted.
It will take years to rebuild power, which means that unless something special happens, this kind of difficult life will continue for a long time.
The City God was immediately overjoyed, and he almost wanted to travel with Gong Mengbi and become sworn brothers. He thanked him repeatedly, "Thank you, my immortal friend, for your help."
Gong Mengbi waved his hands repeatedly: "No, no, they are just wild foxes, straw bags who are just here to show off. They don't deserve your thanks."
Gong Mengbi continued, "I've now set up a fox school at Fox Hill to educate the foxes. It's easy enough to send these idiots here, but they haven't finished their studies yet. I beg you to give them some time off every month so they can return to Fox Hill to catch up on their lessons. That way, they won't become as stupid as pigs and cause more trouble."
In this way, he looks more like an elder who is looking for work for his nephews and nephews, rather than an ambitious person who is using the fox spirit as a pawn.
The City God was a little unsure and confused, but he wasn't going to refuse. What a joke! If he refused, who would be at his service? Was he really going to let the City God go out and catch ghosts himself?
The City God naturally responded with a smile, "The more powerful they are, the easier it is for me. Why wouldn't I allow it?"
Gong Mengbi thanked them first and said, "I'll go back and pick out a few smart ones and have them report to the City God Temple."
The City God was very grateful and prepared to eat the person who was sent to him. As for any conspiracies or tricks, he would block them all.
Gong Mengbi could naturally guess that he would be wary, but it didn't matter.
He didn't plan to do anything to the City God, but just placed a few eyes to keep an eye on him to prevent him from being reckless and acting recklessly again.
Now that he has shown up, it would be difficult to take action against the City God. Otherwise, Wuning County has lost two City Gods in succession, wouldn't that alarm the boss and make him come down to investigate in person?
If they really sensed something was amiss, it would be time to call in Daoist Master Yao and Zen Master Faming. Gong Mengbi couldn't make a move, so were they also unable to?
Thinking of this, I felt deeply that I should build good relationships with these two tools.
When they paid a visit, Taoist Master Yao gave the City God a few pills, Zen Master Fa Ming gave him a box of Daphne odora, and Gong Mengbi gave him a few bottles of Moon Dew Wine.
It's just a token of my appreciation, it's nothing valuable.
We chatted about the recent situation in Wuning County and the yin and yang order in Wuning County, and then said goodbye soon.
In fact, they are not on the same side, but the power of the City God is weak now, so he treats him with courtesy and humility. If the City God were more powerful, I am afraid the situation would be reversed.
After all, the seventh-rank City God is of a higher rank than all of them.
Coming out of the City God Temple, Taoist Master Yao frowned slightly and asked, "Will you be too deeply involved with him by sending him away?"
Taoist Master Yao treated him as a friend and asked this question without hesitation.
Gong Mengbi was frank and honest: "After all, he is the City God. I sent a few people to serve him. If there is anything involving foxes in the future, he must be more considerate and not kill foxes if they do bad things."
"Although I am the head of the Wuning County Fox Association, I am mainly a student of the Heavenly Fox Academy, so I won't be involved too deeply. If one day I am transferred, I must find a way out for the other wild foxes."
Taoist Master Yao admired: "You teach the foxes and show your deep love and care. I hope the foxes can follow your wishes and do the right thing."
Gong Mengbi said, "This is also my wish. If the foxes follow the right path and do the right things, they will not be in vain for the protection of the Queen Mother of Mount Tai."
What he is doing now is actually no different from what Tianhuyuan does.
The Heavenly Fox Academy is a place where foxes are tested. Those who pass the test are called students and can cultivate immortality. Those who fail the test are called wild foxes and are not allowed to cultivate immortality.
Qualified students are the disciples of Tianhu Academy and the dean, and they can receive training.
However, there are many wild foxes in the world, but only a few can pass the entrance exam to the Heavenly Fox Academy. The Heavenly Fox Academy also arranges fox spirits to manage foxes in various places, such as the Fox Association that Gong Mengbi is currently in charge of.
While the Tianhuyuan nurtured fox spirits, Gong Mengbi nurtured wild foxes. He disciplined the foxes, who, though subservient to his intimidation, were not necessarily grateful. Gong Mengbi felt that this combination of education and discipline was a path worth exploring.
After saying goodbye to his two friends, Gong Mengbi returned to Fox Hill.
He continued to cultivate at Fox Hill, breathing in and out the moon, accumulating his magical power. As the dark day approached, the crescent moon became crescent.
While I was practicing, I heard a crow cawing not far away. The sound was very familiar.
He followed the sound and saw Yin Guan Yu He holding a crow in one hand and the other hand behind his back, looking at him with a smile.
Gong Mengbi smiled and said, "Priest Yu, it's been a long time!"
Yu He now looked much more capable than before, not as lazy as before. He said, "While I was away fighting, you weren't idle either. You found a lot of things for me to do."
Gong Mengbi knew he was referring to the ghosts and the extradition of the dead, and said, "Now that we've seen it, we can't just stand by and watch. You're out fighting, and you're still thinking about me? Are you deserting the battlefield?"
"If I were to desert the battlefield, the military judge would have used me as a sacrifice." Yu He smiled and shook his head. "I have good news for you. The Yue family has defeated the Juliu tribe and has now returned victorious."
Gong Mengbi was also overjoyed, "A great victory! It is indeed a happy occasion! Did they capture the Ghost King of the Juliu tribe?"
Yu He sighed, "How could they be so easy to catch? We just destroyed the ghost town and drove them into the ghost fog."
The ghostly fog of the Netherworld represents an uncivilized land. The Netherworld, like the human world, is ruled by the underworld, much like the territories of a human dynasty, orderly and well-governed. Meanwhile, the undeveloped areas of the Netherworld are barren, shrouded in endless fog, and harboring many monsters.
For example, the extremely famous Tubo clan feeds on ghosts and is extremely vicious.
Gong Mengbi was a little disappointed, but still very happy. "If they get lost in this maze, it won't be that easy for them to stir up trouble again."
Yu He nodded and said, "That's right."
Gong Mengbi said, "Since it's a happy occasion, why don't you have some good wine to accompany it? Come and have a few drinks with me."
Yu He showed a regretful look: "I want to, but I really don't have the time. I'll come and bother you when I'm free."
Gong Mengbi laughed and said, "Then I will prepare a bed for you."
Yu He laughed loudly and disappeared into the night.
