Chapter 131 Fox Patrol
It can't be that he took too many pills and there is gold hidden in his stool, right?
Poisoning the emperor is not as easy as you think.
The emperor, as the Son of Heaven, held an extremely high status. Even if he was not proficient in Taoism or cultivation, he was still protected by the gods and feared by all spirits.
Not to mention the eminent monks and Taoist priests in Hongfa Temple, it is almost impossible for them to die from eating elixirs.
Gong Mengbi didn't know the cause of the emperor's death, but he knew that things were about to change.
The old emperor is gone, and the new emperor ascends the throne. It is a question whether he can intimidate the ministers and command the kings, not to mention natural disasters and rebellions.
The world is ever-changing, and even the small Wuning County is not immune to its impact, let alone the wider world.
For ordinary people, little has changed.
But for Shinto, especially Shinto bestowed by the imperial court, the gaps when the sacred artifacts are changed are the times when the divine power becomes unstable and weakened.
Only when the new emperor offers sacrifices to heaven and is favored by heaven can the divine power be gradually consolidated and all gods be at peace.
Gong Mengbi didn't know about other places, but he had heard about the instability of the Yin-Yang laws in Wuning County and the emergence of several evil ghosts.
Gong Mengbi sighed and called Li Tayun over.
Li Taoyun is a smart, clever and ambitious fox who knows how to judge the situation, but more importantly, he is loyal and righteous.
It was precisely because of this that Gong Mengbi felt that he could be of use.
Li Tayun was suddenly called by Gong Mengbi. Feeling a little uneasy, he asked, "My Lord, why did you summon me, Little Fox? What instructions do you have?"
Seeing his cautious attitude, Gong Mengbi was actually quite satisfied. He said, "Tayun, I have a job I want to give you. It's a bit hard and tiring, but it will also be a job for you of a respectable background. Are you willing?"
Li Taoyun was a little surprised, but still asked carefully: "I wonder what you are talking about?"
Gong Mengbi said, "The Wuning County City God has just taken office and is short of staff. I'd like you to select a few clever little foxes to serve in the three divisions under the City God. Would you be willing?"
"To work in the Three Departments of the City God?" Li Taoyun was surprised and happy.
The three officials under the City God's command were not of high rank, but the chief position among them was of the eighth rank, and the important positions were also of the ninth rank. It was naturally nothing to Gong Mengbi, but to these wild foxes, it was a serious job with a regular staff.
If it were a serious time, Li Tayun would not even dare to think about it. It was that the previous City God had done so many evil things that his statue was pushed down and the divine domain was destroyed. The entire City God Temple was in ruins, and there was not a single person left who could do anything.
The City God took office in a hurry and has no staff available. If you surrender now, you will be immediately valued.
The main position Li Taoyun didn't dare to think about it, but there was still hope for him to fight for an important position.
Although Li Taoyun was delighted, he still knew that he was brought here by Gong Mengbi. He immediately asked solemnly, "Thank you, sir. I wonder what you would like me to do in the City God Temple?"
Gong Mengbi smiled faintly: "You are quite clever, but for the time being, there is no need for you to do anything. The most important thing is to do your job well, hone your skills, and improve your abilities."
Upon hearing his instructions, Li Taoyun suddenly bowed down and said, "Thank you, Teacher."
Gong Mengbi helped him up. "Well, you have a wide circle of friends. Go and convince them. Whoever you can convince will belong to your family. But work is work, and study is study. I've already spoken to the City God. I'll allow you to take a day off every month to catch up on your studies."
"When you take them out, you have to be responsible for them. In addition to guiding them in their work, you also have to guide them in their cultivation."
Li Taoyun suddenly felt the heavy expectation.
It's a good job and a good background, but it's also a pressure.
Li Taoyun bowed and said, "I will obey your orders and live up to your expectations."
Gong Mengbi smiled and nodded: "Among these foxes, you are rare in your cleverness, and your good intentions are even rarer. Work hard, practice well, and you will have a promising future."
Li Taoyun had never heard of such praise and teachings before, and the joy in his heart was even greater than the happiness of taking up the post in the Three Divisions of the City God.
Li Taoyun is a fox with a lively mind, a wide circle of friends, and is very popular among foxes.
He went to persuade other foxes, and immediately several foxes who were restless and not focused on their studies came around and were willing to follow him.
In this way, he gathered a team, asked for a letter of recommendation from Gong Mengbi, and rushed to the county seat of Wuning County.
The City God of Wuning County was eager to recruit talented people. When he heard that they were recommended by Gong Mengbi, he met them personally and arranged work for them in the Patrol Department.
The main duties of the Inspection Office are to report crimes, investigate cases, and investigate cases. This is basically the same as the thinking of the previous City God, who regarded foxes as good at gathering intelligence.
Because Li Tayun was the team leader, he successfully became a ninth-rank official in the City God Patrol Office - even at the same level as Gong Mengbi's immortal official.
However, his official position was entirely due to the City God. Whether it was true or not depended entirely on the City God's decision, and it was not very reliable.
Before leaving, Kang Wen copied a part of the fox book he had compiled and gave it to Li Taoyun, asking him to study it carefully with a few foxes.
Over the past month, Gong Mengbi has talked about the transformation of human form, influencing people's popularity, and calming the mind.
The foxes were desperate to learn the first two techniques, as they would be easily chased by the dogs if they didn't. But when it came to the meditation and spiritual cultivation, many of them were impatient, dejected, and wailing all day long, even worse than the fox prisoners.
Fortunately, despite the difficulty, no one has dropped out of school yet. After all, it is difficult, but if you still want to find a famous teacher after you graduate, then just dream on.
When Li Taoyun left, some foxes envied him, while others despised him. But whether it was good or bad depended on Li Taoyun's own luck.
Gong Mengbi first sent Li Tayun away, and then asked Kang Wen to take Xiangjun to find Ma Shenpo to learn how to be a witch: that is, how to effectively pretend to be a ghost.
Just take Xiao Yi'er to the side and let Fatty Kang enjoy the peace and quiet in Shouyue Tower.
It was indeed a quiet place for him to enjoy. Since his injuries had healed, Gong Mengbi had released the fox prisoner who had been absent from school for a long time back to the fox courtyard, allowing him to bid farewell to the noisy days of being surrounded by several female foxes.
Xiao Yier lost his appetite and had no desire to eat anything without Fatty Kang.
But fortunately, he was a good boy and knew that this was one of the few moments he could spend with Gong Mengbi, so he never complained. More importantly, although he had no appetite, his food intake increased instead of decreased.
He justified this by saying, "This doesn't satisfy my appetite. It's like not eating anything at all. I end up eating too much without realizing it."
Gong Mengbi grabbed his ears, not knowing what to do. He just hoped that he wouldn't be too fat, and definitely not fatter than Fatty Kang.
During the days when I had the little fat fox by my side, in addition to participating in the lectures as normal, the most important thing was to teach him the Seven Revisions of Scriptures and Excerpts.
It also includes the love story between Elder Qixiu and Granny Shi, and fully explains Elder Qixiu's practice.
Because this involves the experience of practicing in Qingxu Temple, it cannot be passed on to outsiders. The little fat fox can only be forced to memorize it, and then take him to feel the charm of the old man Qixiu who puts his emotions in things and his spirit in the world.
