Chapter 200: Setting an Example for Foxes and Making Yue Mansion Famous
However, his trip to the underworld had already yielded a lot of rewards. Meeting the Lord of Mount Tai and receiving his praise was a rare feat. If it were any other judge in the underworld, this would have been enough to make him brag about it.
What's more, the Taiyue Divine Talisman has changed from a stone talisman to a jade talisman, which can borrow the divine power of Mount Tai, enough to scare away all ghosts and evil spirits.
Furthermore, as the seal that could mobilize the Yue Mansion's divine soldiers, Gong Mengbi had greater authority, granting him the power to "act first and report later." In times of crisis, mobilizing the Yue Mansion's divine soldiers was incredibly fast.
By the time they returned to Xilong Mountain, the wild foxes from Yongkang County had already left. The six fox cubs were practicing meditation, and Jiayue followed suit, practicing the moon-worshipping Qi-gathering method Gong Mengbi had taught them.
Although Jiayue got the Fox Book, she didn't have time to study it carefully. Today she learned the method of worshiping the moon and gathering energy. She can use it quite well and is getting better at it.
Gong Mengbi smiled with relief. It was worth it that he had designed such a plot to let these six lazy guys experience his good intentions.
Although I have been doing serious work these days, I am also using it as an excuse to avoid studying. Otherwise, I would not have time to practice magic and scriptures, but I can always find time to gather energy and nourish my spirit.
After dawn, Gong Mengbi said goodbye to Jiayue, saying, "I've been away for quite a while now. I can't neglect the work of Fox Academy, and I can't stay in Yongkang County for long. After I leave, you should study the Fox Book carefully. This is the cultivation experience of your senior brothers and sisters, and it will be very helpful to you. I will call you again when Fox Academy starts recruiting students and offering classes next spring."
Jiayue was reluctant to leave, but she couldn't stop him. Watching Gong Mengbi leave Xilong Mountain with the six foxes, Jiayue took two steps after him, but soon stopped.
She looked at the Taishan Goddess Temple behind her, let out a sigh, and was already secretly looking forward to their next meeting.
Riding the wind in broad daylight, Gong Mengbi was wrapped in a cloud to block the view from below so as not to alarm ordinary people.
The six foxes could only hear the whistling of the wind in their ears. Not long after, when they landed again, they had already arrived at Fox Hill.
They stood up tremblingly, their legs feeling a little weak.
Although Gong Mengbi was covered with clouds, they knew from the sound of the wind that he was coming back very quickly, so fast that their hearts were about to jump out of their chests.
"Students, goodbye!"
They ran to the school, apologized to Ma Junji, and found a seat to sit down.
They sat down, and the other foxes whispered to each other, asking, "Has Master Gong returned?"
The six foxes were about to answer, but they accidentally glanced out the window and immediately sat up straight, not daring to speak.
The fox who was asking the question was about to speak again when the corner of his clothes was pulled by the person sitting next to him.
She seemed to realize something and looked out the window, seeing Gong Mengbi standing on the corridor, looking at her.
She froze suddenly, turned her head back sharply, and dared not move again.
Gong Mengbi shook his head and walked away from the window.
Gong Mengbi had been away for nearly half a month, and Kang Wen had been leading the other foxes in their cultivation, using the fox book as a guide. Fortunately, she had always been well-informed and was the head housekeeper of the fox academy, so she was able to suppress these fox spirits.
However, Kang Wen was just reading from the book, and these were things he had already learned. Of course, he was not as skillful and patient as Gong Mengbi.
Everyone was happy during the first class when Teacher Gong was not around, but after the second and third time, they missed him terribly.
When Gong Mengbi was teaching in the evening, their enthusiasm was different from before, which made Gong Mengbi a little flattered.
However, although he was flattered, Gong Mengbi did not hold back. After all, he had missed several classes, and if he did not catch up, it would affect his future teaching.
So the false thoughts were immediately exposed, and the foxes studied while feeling wronged, not daring to relax at all.
The six foxes from Yongkang County set an example. They had missed the most schoolwork and had to devote more time and energy to make up for it. After their experiences at Xilong Mountain, these six foxes often encouraged their classmates to study hard.
A quick comparison of the past and the present will give you a clear idea of the situation. These new foxes, guided by the six of them, are becoming more and more civilized.
As for the foxes who were one year older than them, Kang Wen's group was far more self-conscious. They had spent even longer with Gong Mengbi, and through osmosis, their learning instincts were naturally strong. They also had clear plans for their futures, determined to get into the Sky Fox Academy. Even if they didn't succeed in one year, they would surely succeed in two or three.
Calculating based on their lifespan after training, they still had plenty of time. However, as the first class of Fox Academy students, Gong Mengbi worked personally, and such unique conditions would probably be difficult to find again in the future.
Fox Courtyard has long been on the right track, but Gong Mengbi does feel a little overwhelmed.
This trip to Yongkang County delayed my studies at Fox Academy. If something happens again next time, I'm afraid it wouldn't be appropriate.
I just don't know if Dr. Huang has any news and whether he can find a suitable candidate for Gong Mengbi.
Gong Mengbi's thoughts were answered immediately. He had just spoken of Dr. Huang when Dr. Huang was already calling him.
Gong Mengbi followed the summons and entered the Sky Fox Courtyard. Dr. Huang said, "You did a good job this time. News has come from the Yue Mansion that the Lord of the Mansion personally received you and commended you."
Gong Mengbi was a little surprised and said, "This matter has actually spread to Tianhuyuan."
Dr. Huang said, "Of course, the news has spread to the Heavenly Fox Court. The Empress commands all foxes under heaven and the divine soldiers of the Yue Mansion. The fox fairies of the Heavenly Fox Court are immortal officials under the Empress, and the ghost messengers of the Yue Mansion are priests under the Empress. Although they each have their own duties, they all serve under the Empress and are close to her."
Gong Mengbi grumbled inwardly, "The Yue Mansion is far more impressive than the Tianhu Court." However, the Yue Mansion is a divine institution, operating differently from the immortal path, so comparisons cannot be made. The headmaster of Tianhu Court also holds considerable influence in front of the Lord of Mount Tai, and his status is not low.
Gong Mengbi asked, "Master, please forgive me for making a fool of myself. I didn't do anything. It was all thanks to the priests of Yue Mansion."
Dr. Huang said, "You didn't contribute anything, yet you were praised by the Lord. What? Are you saying that the Lord doesn't know how to judge people?"
Dr. Huang's words pushed Gong Mengbi into a corner, and he was so choked that he couldn't speak.
Gong Mengbi quickly changed the subject: "Master, is there something you want to talk to me about?"
Seeing him frustrated, Dr. Huang felt pleased and said, "It's not me who wants to see you, it's the goddess who wants to see you."
Dr. Huang said with great enthusiasm, "Those foxes from the noble families are like defeated dogs. After hearing the news that you have made great contributions and have been recognized by the Lord of the Mansion, their eyes are red. We, the Wild Fox clan, can finally hold our heads high."
No wonder Dr. Huang was in such a good mood and even had the mind to joke with him.
Gong Mengbi looked at Dr. Huang's smiling face and felt happy.
