Chapter 197: The Fox Witch's Dream and the Fox's True Magic
Gong Mengbi was practicing the Moon-Chasing Technique outside the Niangniang Temple. The judge hiding in the temple had long since left, and the surroundings were quiet and peaceful. Occasionally, the calls of insects in late autumn could be heard, with a sense of urging.
Gong Mengbi sat on the stone, silently practicing the Moon-Running Technique and the Sky-Connecting Technique.
Suddenly, he felt a vibration beneath him, but he didn't move. This vibration didn't come from his body, but from within the stillness, as if a huge monster was moving.
Gong Mengbi sat on the back of this huge creature. Its armor was like a mountain, and its four legs lifted it high. Even Gong Mengbi was lifted into the air.
As if it was not comfortable after sleeping for a long time, the huge monster moved a few steps, and its two huge heads stretched out from under the armor and yawned. Its four eyes saw Gong Mengbi on its back, but seemed not to see him and retracted into the armor again.
The huge mountain landed again, and Gong Mengbi closed his eyes, quietly feeling the feeling of being wrapped in moonlight.
This is the moon god of September, shaped like a giant two-headed turtle.
His spirit seemed to fly into the bright moon and descend into the Moon Palace. There was not only the Moon God of September, but there were many more gods roaming in the moon. However, with Gong Mengbi's perception, he could not see that many.
The whole world is bathed in moonlight, but the bright moon only loves this place.
Wherever Gong Mengbi was, moonlight seemed to flow like water waves.
Xilong Mountain was quiet, and Jiayue slept even more deeply, as if she had passed through the darkness and arrived at a beautiful place.
"Big girl, big girl."
Jiayue heard someone calling her and turned around to see a kind-looking old man.
"Grandma!" Jiayue's tears welled up in her eyes. She rushed out and hugged the old woman, crying, "I miss you so much, Grandma."
The fox witch patted her back and said with a smile, "Don't cry, girl, you've grown up. You should be called Jiayue now, right?"
Jiayue looked at her with tears in her eyes and said, "How did grandma know?"
The fox witch laughed and said, "I've been watching you the whole time, how could I not know?"
Jiayue asked, "Grandma, how are you doing? Are you cold down there?"
The fox witch rubbed her head and said, "The kingdom underground is just like the kingdom above ground. It's neither cold nor lonely."
"That's good." Jiayue sobbed.
The fox witch said, "Grandma can't accompany you anymore. From now on, it's up to you to guard the Niangniang Temple. Your teacher is a very remarkable fox fairy. You must follow him and practice well. You must follow the right path."
Jiayue said: "Okay, I will listen to the teacher."
The fox witch said with relief, "I've come to say goodbye to you. Grandma has been selected by the Heavenly Fox Court to serve in the Goddess's palace for her meritorious service in guarding the Goddess's temple."
Jiayue said: "Don't worry about me. Look at me these days, haven't I done well?"
The fox witch laughed, patted Jiayue's back gently, and said, "I know you can do it."
She hummed softly, a nursery rhyme. This was how she coaxed Jiayue to sleep when she was noisy.
The singing had not yet faded, but Jiayue's arms were already empty.
In the shed, Jiayue shed tears unconsciously in her sleep, but there was still a smile on her face.
Gong Mengbi was practicing on his own when he suddenly opened his eyes and saw an old woman with gray hair looking at him not far away.
The old woman bowed slightly to him, and Gong Mengbi nodded in response.
The old woman smiled and disappeared into Xilong Mountain.
When Jiayue woke up the next day, she was so happy that she hummed a song while burning incense and sweeping the floor for the empress.
The Niangniang Temple has not been rebuilt yet, but with the Shen family raising funds and believers donating, the gold and silver are already in place, the ruins have been cleared, and construction will begin quickly.
When the bricklayer came up the mountain, Gong Mengbi disappeared.
As the sky gradually darkened, the people who were building the temple had left, and foxes came from all directions.
Either running like flying, or roaring on the wind.
Jiayue received a signal from Gong Mengbi and maintained order in front of the Niangniang Temple with the six foxes.
Foxes that come to listen to the Dharma must first worship the goddess and burn incense before going to listen to the lecture.
Fearing of missing the time, these foxes came very actively.
Firstly, Hu Zheng's reputation and abilities had already spread among the six foxes. After more than half a year of training, these six foxes had already developed a certain extraordinary aura. Secondly, the Taoist teachings were free. If you listened, you would profit greatly. If you didn't, you would suffer a loss. If others listened and I didn't, I would suffer a double loss.
There was a bonfire burning in the mountains.
One by one, the foxes transformed into human forms, mostly beautiful women, but a few handsome men.
Foxes are naturally like this; both males and females pursue beauty. However, there are different kinds of beauty: female beauty differs from male beauty, the beauty of the skin differs from the beauty of the bones, and the beauty of the outer appearance differs from the beauty of the inner self.
Just from the illusion, Gong Mengbi had already identified some promising talents among them.
Some superficial beauties may be beautiful, but they lose their authenticity and become an illusion.
Some finely crafted works are beautiful, but they lose their naturalness and become just painted skins.
Gong Mengbi glanced at them, not intending to intimidate them. Instead, he said, "You've been working hard to apprehend the murderer these days. Although the murderer hasn't been caught yet, I still appreciate your efforts. So, I will preach the Dharma tonight to repay your kindness."
Among them, a female fox wearing a headscarf and with a somewhat sad face stood out from the crowd and said, "The matter of Queen Taishan is the business of all of us, not just yours. We should have contributed our efforts, so why talk about gratitude?"
Gong Mengbi said, "Okay, then let's not talk about gratitude. You are the foxes under my rule. If you are sincere, I will reward you."
The fox bowed and said, "Thank you very much, sir."
Gong Mengbi laughed and said, "I practice the Taiyin method, so I will tell you the trick of worshiping the moon and gathering energy."
There are few monsters that don't worship the moon to absorb its energy. The essence of the sun and the moon are the work of nature.
As yin beings, they naturally did not dare to hope for the yang of the sun's essence, but it was not that difficult to obtain the yin of the moon's essence.
It is relatively speaking not that difficult. Even though all foxes can worship the moon and gather energy, it is hard to say what they can gather.
