Chapter 127: Hiding the Great Power in a Small Bottle
Dr. Huang took the token and turned to Gong Mengbi, saying, "Let's go."
In this place where many big guys gather, Gong Mengbi, the little fox, actually doesn't feel very comfortable, so he walks happily.
Watching Gong Mengbi and Dr. Huang walk further and further away, Xun Jijiu smiled and shook his head, "This little fox surnamed Gong has quite a bit of luck and talent, and he's also smart and clever. He's indeed a good seedling."
The Jade Fairy Goddess fiddled with the flowers and plants and said, "If you think it's a good seedling, give it some guidance. It can take over your job in the future."
Xun Jijiu was stunned for a moment and sighed: "It's not that I'm holding a high position and won't give it up, but my position is really not easy to sit on."
The Jade Fairy Goddess glanced at him and said, "You still need to focus on cultivation. You must train younger generations to take over. Otherwise, are you going to be trapped in this mundane world for the rest of your life? Don't you want to achieve immortality?"
Xun Jijiu thought about this matter seriously, "What the goddess said makes sense."
"The fourth-rank chief priest of the Sky Fox Court may sound barely acceptable, but it is only a minor position. Your cultivation should not be limited to the fourth rank. With this position vacant, you can devote yourself to cultivation and experience a wider world." The Jade Fairy Goddess said nonchalantly.
It sounds like they want to strip him of his power, but in fact it is out of love and care for him.
Xun Jijiu understood what the goddess meant and felt quite grateful.
Elsewhere, Dr. Huang led Gong Mengbi to the treasury. As they left the garden, Dr. Huang laughed and said, "Xun Jijiu is good in every way, except for being a bit stingy. I heard he came from a poor background, so he wants to keep everything he has and hoard it. Because of this, since he took charge of the treasury, the contents have only increased, a complete change from his previous ways."
Gong Mengbi expressed his understanding and said, "Isn't this a good thing?"
Dr. Huang said, "It doesn't matter to us. It's a good thing for the overall situation of Tianhu Academy, but it may not be a big deal to some people."
Gong Mengbi seemed to understand something.
Dr. Huang said, "In Tianhu Academy, besides the Chief Lieutenant, the Dean of Education, and the Doctors, there are many people who think that Chief Lieutenant Xun is difficult to talk to."
Dr. Huang sighed and didn't say much. After all, it was too early to talk about these things with Tong Gong Meng Bi.
Gong Mengbi just listened silently without making any excessive judgments, nor was it appropriate for him to make any judgments.
Dr. Huang did not take Gong Mengbi to the treasury, but instead escorted him out of the Tianhu Courtyard and said, "Wait a few days, the Eight Winds Curse and the Eight Winds Bottle will be delivered."
Since this is a reward for merit, we must follow the formal procedures. Dr. Huang will issue the paperwork, and then we will go through the formalities to deliver the reward. If we take him there directly to receive it, it will inevitably lead to gossip.
Gong Mengbi opened his eyes and woke up at Fox Hill. He extinguished the fire in the small golden stove and stopped the curling green smoke.
Gong Mengbi is also a frugal person. He never hesitates when it comes to spending money, but like now, he has to be frugal.
Since the reward would not be delivered for two days, Gong Mengbi went to discuss the banquet with Fatty Kang first.
Of course Fatty Kang had his support. These days, the little fat fox had been serving him all over. If he was satisfied with the service, he would cook a couple of dishes for him to show off his cooking skills. If he was not satisfied with the service, he would just close his eyes and pretend not to see anything.
But the greedy but obedient temperament of the little fat fox actually suits Fatty Kang's taste, so although he often says harsh words to it, he is actually reluctant to bully it.
When the little fat fox was told that there was nothing to eat, his eyes filled with tears and he looked pitiful.
Fatty Kang always scolded him for being useless, but he always resigned himself to his fate and cooked for him.
Fatty Kang said, "Two banquets, one for day and one for night. During the day we invite friends to gather, and at night we thank the gods and ghosts."
He paced back and forth, saying, "Little Yi'er has been eating and drinking for free for so many days, and his belly has become fatter. It's time for him to start learning. Let's use this day and night feast to introduce him to the new world."
Gong Mengbi thanked him first, but Fatty Kang snorted and said, "I can help out, but you can't rely on me to get the ingredients, right?"
Gong Mengbi cleared his throat and said, "Of course I'll take care of it. Brother, just write me a list and I'll definitely find it for you."
Fatty Kang paced back and forth and said, "No rush, let me think about what to cook first."
Gong Mengbi didn't bother him and went upstairs to check on Xiangjun's injuries. Xiangjun was already well again. Although he hadn't woken up, he looked peaceful and calm, more like he was in a state of meditation.
Fatty Kang looked up and said loudly, "Don't worry. Wait until I have the Sun and Moon Banquet. Even if she is dead, I will bring her back to life, not to mention if she is asleep."
Gong Mengbi said happily: "Then it depends on your ability, brother."
Fatty Kang nodded and sat on the threshold, thinking hard and preparing for the Sun and Moon Banquet.
During this period, the reward from Tianhuyuan arrived.
The person who delivered the decree was not Dr. Huang, but an unknown fox fairy with a white face like jade and an upright figure.
The fox fairy first read out the reward according to the document, then left the Eight Winds Bottle and said, "The Eight Winds Curse is in the bottle. You can find it by refining it with your magical power."
Then, without waiting for Gong Mengbi to speak, he soared into the sky and disappeared into the sky.
Gong Mengbi frowned slightly but said nothing.
When you hold the Eight Winds Bottle in your hand, you will feel warm to the touch, like warm jade. There are wind and cloud patterns carved on the bottle.
The mouth of the bottle is plugged with a jade stopper, locking the eight winds inside the bottle.
Gong Mengbi used his magical powers to perform rituals and the Eight Wind Bottle gradually began to emit spiritual light.
Suddenly, there was a sound of wind beside Gong Mengbi's ears. The sound of the wind was so loud that it seemed to pull him from the small room to the top of the mountain and into the deep valley in an instant.
From all directions, different kinds of wind sounds can be heard in your ears, some flowing slowly, some whistling loudly, some gentle and affectionate, and some fierce and violent.
Gong Mengbi heard a spell from the sound of the wind. It was the winds from the eight directions and the winds from the eight sections, entangled with each other and in chaos.
In a trance, Gong Mengbi seemed to hear a loud noise, but also as if there was no sound at all, just the sound of soft exhalation.
Gong Mengbi felt as if struck by lightning, as if he saw the celestial phenomena surge and the world swallowing up. But in the next moment, this feeling gradually subsided.
Wind is the breath of heaven and earth.
Tongtian Faling helped him grasp the true meaning of it, and when he looked at the Eight Wind Mantra and the Eight Wind Bottle again, he had a feeling of grasping the main points and having a bird's-eye view.
The Eight Winds refer to winds from the eight directions and winds from the eight solar terms, but generally speaking, they are still the great exhalations of the earth and the breathing of heaven and earth.
Grasping this point, let's look at the Eight Wind Vase again. It is the wonderfulness of communicating with the breath of heaven and earth, storing the great atmosphere in a small bottle, and containing the vastness of the universe in one thing.
"Wonderful." Gong Mengbi's eyes lit up. His previous wind-calling technique was just a small spell to stir up a cold wind, but from the Eight Wind Curse and the Eight Wind Bottle, he could cultivate it into a great supernatural power.
Gong Mengbi praised: "No wonder Xun Jijiu is stingy. If it were me, I would probably not be willing to part with such a treasure."
But Xun Jijiu probably didn't know that he could glimpse such true meaning from the Eight Wind Curse.
The Tao is like a dragon, and all kinds of magic are the scales on the dragon's body, or at most its claws and fangs, but there are always people who can catch a glimpse and see some of the dragon's aura from the dragon's scales.
Unfortunately, Gong Mengbi is such a person.
