Chapter 187: Heaven is kind and generous, regardless of status
His face turned pale and blue, and he didn't know how much courage he had spent, so he didn't turn around and run away. Instead, he said, "My skills are inferior to others, so it's natural that Assistant Teacher Gong has more profound cultivation. I have no doubt about the nine methods of cultivation you mentioned."
Gong Mengbi nodded and no longer focused his attention on Su Yun. Instead, he looked at the other fox fairies who were watching the fun in Wenxing Tower.
"What about you colleagues? Do you have any questions about the Nine Methods of Cultivation? If you have any questions, please feel free to ask."
The fox spirits' expressions were no longer as frivolous and arrogant. Gong Mengbi looked towards them, but they all avoided his gaze, not daring to meet his gaze.
It’s like Dr. Huang is giving them a lecture and asking them if they have learned it. Regardless of whether they have learned it or not, they always feel uneasy.
Only one fox fairy hesitated and asked, "These nine methods of cultivation are easy to learn but difficult to master. Should I focus on one method? If I learn all nine, I'm afraid I won't be able to master any of them."
Gong Mengbi remembered the faces of the fox fairies in the field clearly. He was also born as a wild fox. He asked this question because he really wanted to teach the cultivation department well and run the Tianhu Academy well.
Gong Mengbi smiled and said, "Of course, we have to focus on certain things. As Brother Su Yun said, knowing three of the principles will allow one to transcend the mundane world, and knowing six will allow one to roam freely in the human world. When we teach wild foxes, we certainly hope that every one of them can enter the Heavenly Fox Academy, but everyone's nature is different, and their cultivation speed varies, so we can't force it. Therefore, they must at least learn the six principles and know the three principles, so that they can walk freely in the human world."
"Moreover, my nine methods are based on refining Qi, nourishing the spirit, and communicating with the mind. From these roots, six branches are extended. If you progress step by step, it will not become more difficult as you progress, but easier instead."
The fox fairy pondered carefully and seemed to understand something. "Thank you, Assistant Teacher Gong."
This action suppressed the arrogance of the aristocratic foxes, and only then were the wild fox faction among the fox fairies able to speak up and seek advice.
Except for those who had taken refuge in the aristocratic families and dared not say much, the fox fairies of the wild fox faction really asked in detail about the construction of the Fox Courtyard based on Mingfu Fox Book.
Gong Mengbi did not hide anything. When he explained the fox book, he was also explaining his own understanding of spiritual practice.
Governing a large country is like cooking a small fish, and the path of spiritual cultivation is also a metaphor for this. Fatty Kang entered the Tao through cooking, and Gong Mengbi's interpretation of the Fox Book to demonstrate the virtue of education is also a confirmation and understanding of his own spiritual practice.
His successful pilot project in Wuning County and the recognition and support from the goddess meant that his practice was not wrong and that it was the right path.
Heaven is benevolent and kind to all, and nature bestows grace upon all, regardless of status.
The fox fairy, who was born from a wild fox, looked at Gong Mengbi and listened to his explanation, and gradually gained many more insights.
But to the ears of the aristocratic foxes, it was harsh and unbearable. Why should these foxes from wealthy families consider the wild foxes?
Gong Mengbi took a quick glance and roughly understood what they were thinking. He sighed in his heart, but there was no way to convince them.
From a fox perspective, their aristocratic families naturally have an advantage. But what about the overall situation? The unruly behavior of wild foxes corrupts morals, turning the dignified Tushan Miao people and Qingqiu citizens into evil demons, condemned by everyone. Does this bring any benefit to these aristocratic fox families?
Those who truly practice Taoism may be able to distinguish between good and evil, but for most people who fight against demons and defend Taoism, do they really carefully distinguish whether they come from aristocratic families?
To put it in a broader context, how many foxes are there among the countless immortals? Even among the fox immortals, how many can finally cultivate into celestial foxes?
Without more talented people emerging and more fox immortals achieving enlightenment, when will the status of fox immortals improve?
Going back to ancient times, the Qingqiu clan and the Tushan clan were so powerful. But now when people mention foxes, how many people take them seriously?
But these words were not suitable for Gong Mengbi to say, nor were they suitable for this occasion. Gong Mengbi glanced at the absent-minded foxes from the aristocratic families, and then put his energy into communicating with the fox fairies of the wild fox faction.
There was nothing lively to see in Wenxing Tower, and the fox spirits who had come after hearing the news left one after another.
Since Su Yun, these colleagues have not made any more trouble.
Firstly, Su Yun was defeated first, so the other fox fairies were not completely sure. Secondly, Su Yun was defeated by Gong Mengbi, and his former prestige was shattered, becoming a laughing stock among the other fox fairies.
In addition to the Su family, there are also the Chun family, the Hu family, and the Huangfu family in Tianhu Court. They are not a united group, and there are many families that do not get along with each other on a daily basis.
Now that Su Yun has lost face, his former enemies will naturally take the opportunity to mock him.
Gong Mengbi successfully finished his lecture to Yehu. Calculating the time, he realized that today's experience sharing session was almost over. He chuckled and said, "After today, I believe you all have no more questions about Mingfu Fox's book. When we build Fox Academy in the future, we should be able to follow the rules."
"If you have any new questions, don't worry. I'm happy to answer them for you all. The Goddess's decree to build the Fox Courtyard is a matter of great importance to the Heavenly Fox Courtyard. I hope you all will take it to heart."
Having said this, Gong Mengbi left first.
The fox fairy from the Wild Fox sect followed and talked and laughed with Gong Mengbi, praising him a lot.
The fox from the aristocratic family was choked by him before leaving, and was in a bad mood. Many people ridiculed him behind his back.
No one knew who started the fight, but it spread to Su Yun, and then they almost got into a fight.
After Gong Mengbi walked for a while with these wild foxes and fox spirits, he found Dr. Huang waiting for him on the side.
The fox spirits respectfully called out, "Dr. Huang."
Dr. Huang nodded and said, "I have something to talk to Mingfu about. You guys go first."
These fox fairies dispersed one by one and disappeared in the Tianhu Courtyard.
Dr. Huang asked, “How?”
Gong Mengbi exhaled and smiled, "Everything went well."
Dr. Huang nodded and said, "You did very well today, but don't slack off. I'm not worried about your cultivation, but your Fox Court is a role model for all the foxes. You absolutely cannot afford to fail. Otherwise, it will give people a reason to criticize you, and all your efforts will be wasted."
Gong Mengbi certainly understood this and said, "I will try to get more of them admitted to Tianhu Academy."
Gong Mengbi brought up the matter of expanding Fox Court. Dr. Huang paused for a moment and said, "I don't think there's any rush. Firstly, you don't have anyone in Wuning County who you can entrust your business to. Secondly, finding a suitable mentor isn't easy. You can take your time."
"I'll keep an eye out for you. If there's anyone trustworthy, you can ask them to come and help you."
Gong Mengbi said happily: "Thank you, Master."
Dr. Huang said, "Stop the polite talk. Do you have any doubts about your practice lately?"
Gong Mengbi has not had any difficulties in his practice recently, but there is indeed one thing he needs to discuss with Dr. Huang.
He told Dr. Huang the story of Zhenniang and Zhenru, and asked Dr. Huang if there was any way to resolve Zhenniang's resentment.
Gong Mengbi was still thinking about the property in Lanyin Temple, but now as soon as he entered Vimalakirti's room, he would be beaten out by the Rakshasa Demon Mother, and he had no chance to ask for money.
Dr. Huang thought for a moment and asked, "I don't have any way to resolve the resentment. You have to overcome the mental barriers yourself. But I do have a way for you to talk to her. You can try to have a conversation with her."
