Chapter 184 Mid-Autumn Festival
After taking the liberal arts and spiritual practice exams, Ning Caichen and Ma Junji quickly marked the papers and announced the results.
After Gong Mengbi reviewed it, he realized that he had indeed neglected his studies. His exam papers on literature and classics were filled with irrelevant information. His spiritual practice exams were slightly better, but his spiritual cultivation hadn't made much progress.
Before Gong Mengbi could hold a meeting to reprimand them, these foxes became very obedient and ran to him to apologize.
Since they have realized their mistakes, Gong Mengbi will not punish them severely. He will let them off lightly with a light punishment, which can also be regarded as a warning to them.
It is far from the time for them to relax, because they are the first batch of students of Fox Academy, and Gong Mengbi is teaching them personally, and he has high hopes for them.
I don't ask them all to get into the Sky Fox Academy, but at least they should make some progress in their cultivation so that they won't be taken away by others when they are in the human world.
The foxes naturally understood this principle, so if they slacked off a little, they would immediately come to apologize after being reminded by Gong Mengbi.
In order to understand the academic style of Fox Academy, Gong Mengbi continued to devote himself to the career of editing books.
This fox book is tentatively named Mingfu Fox Book. The two words Mingfu were given by the goddess, so it is qualified to be written with dignity.
The Fox Book consists of a large framework including the site selection, infrastructure construction, teacher selection, enrollment policy, management system, and improvement of morals of Tianhuyuan. Under the large framework, it discusses each of them separately using the Foxyuan in Wuning County as an example, and the content is extremely detailed.
In addition to the construction of the Heavenly Fox Academy, a curriculum outline for fox cultivation was also established. Regarding key areas of cultivation, such as physical transformation, aura purification, spiritual cultivation, talent development, and the training of qi and mind, Gong Mengbi worked with the fox immortals in the archives to select corresponding spells with low difficulty but high effectiveness as teaching suggestions.
The purpose of revising these articles is to educate wild foxes, improve fox habits, introduce talents to the Tianhu Academy, and spread the faith of the Queen Mother of Mount Tai.
Finally, the manuscript was finalized before the Mid-Autumn Festival. The goddess was asked to write the title of the book in red, and Xun Jijiu was asked to write the preface. The book was named Mingfu Hushu.
The Mid-Autumn Festival is celebrated by the whole world.
Gong Mengbi practices the Moon-Flying Method and has a deeper understanding of the Mid-Autumn Festival.
The two gentlemen returned home to celebrate the festival, while Gong Mengbi led the foxes in the Fox Courtyard to worship the moon.
The sun is the ancestor of yang, and the moon is the ancestor of yin. The sun rises in the east, the moon in the west. The length and shortness of yin and yang cycle through time and space, ultimately bringing harmony to the world.
The moon worship is an extremely important event for human beings.
It is even more important for evil spirits such as goblins and ghosts.
An altar was set up to enshrine the image of the Moon Emperor and the twelve moon gods. Not only did the Fox Courtyard offer sacrifices, but friends from nearby were also invited to come and participate in the moon worship.
In previous years, the Golden Toad always offered sacrifices to the moon by himself, and he had intended to do the same this year, but after Wang Xiang came to ask for help and Que Xian came to encourage him, he reluctantly came.
The Red Feathered Snake, Flower, Wine, Poetry, Tea, and the three sisters from Beauty Ridge were also invited. In the past, there was also Granny Shi and the Yaksha Ghost. Now that Granny Shi has passed away, the Yaksha Ghost has also gone to the human world to look for the reincarnation of Fire Dragon Immortal.
The Skull God was also released by Gong Mengbi. Seeing the full moon and offering sacrifices to the Moon God, he was full of complaints but dared not say anything.
It is worth mentioning that when the moon is full, the power of the Emperor Taiyin and the moon gods is the strongest. Some mountain spirits and monsters have an evil aura and dare not breathe in the moonlight at this time. They even have to avoid the moon to avoid being intimidated by the divine power.
However, Gong Mengbi presided over the ceremony, and the demons and ghosts present did not have any evil spirits, so it was not a taboo.
Lighting incense and burning sacrificial words, the foxes added other demons and ghosts to the sacrifices, which not only did not reduce the beauty of the sacrifice, but made it richer and more colorful.
Gong Mengbi and Jin Chan both practiced Taiyin Dharma.
The Moon-Chasing Method rotates the phases of the moon, inviting the spirit and form in the moon, which seem to be real and unreal, and seem to exist and not exist.
The other monsters and ghosts didn't even see it, but the Golden Toad saw it. In addition to being in awe of the gods in the moon, he was also surprised at Gong Mengbi's practice.
It was precisely because of his practice of the Taiyin Method that he could see that Gong Mengbi had a profound understanding of the Taiyin Way. This could not help but arouse his fighting spirit.
Living in the same mountain with this fox, it would be so embarrassing if he surpassed me too much.
Because the god in the moon was attracted by Gong Mengbi, the songs and dances for worshiping the moon and entertaining the god played a very effective role. When the sacrifice was over, all the demons and ghosts felt the gift from the gods to a greater or lesser extent.
For a moment, they were filled with both amazement and joy. Jin Chan, having gained the most from practicing the Taiyin Method, looked at Gong Mengbi, and despite his stubbornness, he couldn't help but accept his kindness. Not only didn't he offer any sarcastic remarks, but he was surprisingly obedient. This struck Wang Xiang and Que Xian as odd; he usually loved to argue, but today, he had subsided.
The guests and hosts enjoyed the moon-viewing banquet.
After the Mid-Autumn Festival, the weather gradually turned colder. The gathering of the Fox Association and the Fox Society of Tianhuyuan, which Gong Mengbi had been looking forward to but also worried about, was also here.
Gong Mengbi arrived at Tianhuyuan early.
Dr. Huang couldn't help but smile when he saw him. "How's it going? Do you have any plans?"
Gong Mengbi had been preparing for a long time, so he naturally couldn't show any fear. He said, "Of course I have it all planned out."
Dr. Huang nodded and said, "Most of these fox leaders and fox associations come from famous families. There aren't many wild foxes like us. These foxes from famous families are arrogant and may not look down on you. Don't let them anger you. And there are also wild foxes..."
Dr. Huang's expression was complicated. He said, "Some of them are still with us, but some have become affiliated with famous families. You should be extra careful."
Gong Mengbi immediately understood the reason.
Foxes are cunning and like to take advantage of others. For wild foxes, these famous families are naturally targets for them to cling to. In the eyes of the famous families, these wild foxes naturally become sharp swords in their hands.
Over the years, the Yehu faction has found it difficult to gain momentum, perhaps because the Yehu faction itself is a loose group.
Even with leaders like Xun Jijiu and outstanding middle-level managers like Dr. Huang, they cannot compare to the wealth of those wealthy families.
If you can get benefits by being recruited by a wealthy and powerful family, how many foxes are willing to climb up step by step on their own?
The wild foxes who can join the faction of Xun Jijiu and Dr. Huang all have some ambition and determination.
Although it is good to be from a wealthy family, their indifference and arrogance are also ingrained in their bones.
Dr. Huang was a little angry at her for not fighting back, just like when Hu Jiao rebelled against Tianhu Academy.
Fortunately, Gong Mengbi stepped forward, made such a big noise, and won the favor of the goddess, so that the Wild Fox faction did not end in pieces.
It is impossible for Xun Jijiu to remain as Jijiu forever, and it is impossible for Dr. Huang to remain as a doctor forever.
If there is no talented person to rise to power, the future of the Wild Fox faction can be imagined.
Gong Mengbi carefully considered Dr. Huang's words and replied, "Don't worry, Master. So what if I'm just a famous fox? I still have two eyes and a nose. I still have to cultivate my Qi step by step. I have nothing to fear."
Dr. Huang said with relief, "That's right. Strip them of their power and wealth, and who wouldn't be a wild fox?"
