Chapter 227: A Man of Virtue, Allocation of Funds
Seeing them being so useless, Taoist Master Yao was speechless. He shook his head and said, "Don't make a fuss. They are my friends."
Taoist Master Yao invited Gong Mengbi in and drank tea with him under the moonlight.
The five ghost gods stood under the tree, their five-colored shadows carrying a ghostly aura, but their appearances were solemn and somewhat divine.
The newly initiated young Taoist priest hid behind the older Taoist priest and asked secretly, "Brother, is this the fox fairy? It looks like a fairy or god."
The older Taoist priest said, "It is indeed a fox fairy. I have seen it twice before. Foxes that practice the right way can eventually become celestial foxes, which are both auspicious and immortal officials."
The young Taoist priest exclaimed, "The abbot is so powerful that even fox spirits come to pay him a visit."
The older Taoist priest said, "The abbot does have a wide circle of friends."
The young Taoist priest asked again, "Who are those five people?"
The older Taoist priest said, "This is the Five Ghost God. It's the result of the Five Ghosts method. It's both a ghost and a god, dressed in five colors, in response to the five elements. It has a clear and spiritual aura and a majestic face. It's a spirit ghost of the five elements. The fox fairy can subdue the five ghosts. It's really amazing."
The young Taoist priest watched his own abbot and the fox fairy admiring the moon in the courtyard. One had gray hair, the other was handsome and graceful. He sighed, "The abbot looks so old."
The older Taoist priest quickly covered his mouth and ran away with him in his arms.
Before they had taken two steps, they both cried out in pain, their foreheads swelling up like they had eaten two skulls. Not daring to continue choreographing and hosting, they fled with tears in their eyes.
Taoist Master Yao snorted coldly, and said with some embarrassment: "You are such a useless young man. Please forgive me for making fun of you."
Gong Mengbi smiled and said, "I think it's because the Taoist priest is kind and compassionate, and he is respected by his disciples."
Taoist Master Yao laughed and said, "You are a rare guest. What are you planning today?"
Gong Mengbi shook his head and said, "I can't hide it from you. I want to send a few students to you to train for a few months, to see the Taoist magic and cultivate their hearts to pursue the Tao."
Taoist Master Yao hesitated: "Let me think about it."
Gong Mengbi said, "You don't need to teach me the Dharma. I just want you to follow my disciples and do some good deeds. My students may not be very capable, but they are well-informed. If there is something that is inconvenient for you to find out, you can let them find out."
Taoist Master Yao said, "I can treat everyone equally, but my disciples may not be able to do the same. I'm afraid that if you send me in, it will cause resentment."
Gong Mengbi smiled and said, "Don't worry. I will choose one with good character and send it to you, so as not to cause you any trouble."
Taoist Priest Yao thought for a moment and said, "Okay, but let me be frank. If we can't get along, I'll have to ask you to take it back."
Gong Mengbi nodded and said, "Of course."
Taoist Priest Yao asked, "Are you still going to Huaguang Temple?"
Gong Mengbi smiled bitterly and said, "It's all for the students."
Taoist Master Yao sighed and said, "Since it is for enlightenment, I certainly support it. I think Fa Ming will not refuse it either."
Gong Mengbi said, "Then I'll borrow your good words."
After Gong Mengbi said his goodbyes, Taoist Master Yao asked with some doubt, "Has Fox Fairy Gong made further progress in his cultivation?"
The Fox Fairy Gong did not reveal her abilities. Taoist Yao seemed to sense something, but he could not see clearly, so he could not be sure.
Then went to Huaguang Temple.
When the gatekeeper monk saw the five ghosts and gods, he knew that the abbot's friends had arrived.
After the notification, Zen Master Fa Ming came to greet him in person.
Gong Mengbi presented gifts and explained his purpose.
Zen Master Faming laughed heartily. He glanced at the young monks in the temple and said, "It's just a small matter. I was just about to teach them to let go of their discriminating minds. You've come just in time."
Gong Mengbi said gratefully, "That being said, thank you very much, Master."
Zen Master Faming said, "You want to teach students, and I want to teach my disciples, so why bother with so much formality?"
Gong Mengbi said: "How can I be so virtuous and capable that the friends I have made are all people of virtue like you."
Zen Master Faming laughed heartily: "You are a fox fairy with great powers, yet you come to ask me?"
Only then did Gong Mengbi realize that Zen Master Fa Ming was actually a wonderful person.
Gong Mengbi said, "Walk around more often in the future. I like to listen to the Zen master talk."
Zen Master Fa Ming smiled and shook his head, saying, "You fox, you're actually teasing me."
Everything went well, and Gong Mengbi still had a smile on his face when he left Huaguang Temple.
But soon, the smile disappeared.
Dr. Huang invited him to Tianhuyuan and told him a troubling matter.
Dr. Huang said, "We still haven't been able to stop them. Even if the spirits went, there were still fox spirits who wanted to go. Of course, some of them wanted to seek guidance sincerely, but I'm afraid the majority were just looking for trouble."
Gong Mengbi sighed and said, "Whatever. After all, the Spirit God's arrival has already prevented most of the trouble. I can handle the rest."
Dr. Huang smiled and said, "I'm not worried that you'll be unable to handle it. You're already at the sixth rank now, and few of these fox spirits out there are even at the third rank. How could they be your match?"
Most of the fox fairies sent out from the Tianhu Academy will not exceed the middle grade. The lower three grades are not the same as the middle three grades. They are also valuable talents in the Tianhu Academy. Basically, they will not be sent to local areas to look after wild foxes, but will be given more important responsibilities.
Like Dr. Huang, who has the sixth rank of Taoism, he stayed in the Tianhu Academy as a doctor in the cultivation department, specializing in teaching the fox students the methods of cultivation. He is the fox fairy who can truly support the Tianhu Academy.
Entering the middle third rank, one can gradually get into the core of power in the Sky Fox Academy - if one is interested in the Sky Fox Academy. In fact, working in the Sky Fox Academy is not a lucrative job, especially since Xun Jijiu took office and managed the finances very strictly, making it particularly difficult to make money.
There are also people like the Great Immortal from the North. Although he is under the jurisdiction of the Tianhu Academy, he does not work in the Tianhu Academy, but lives a happy life in the human world.
Gong Mengbi has now been promoted to the sixth rank. If Fox Academy is not now the top priority of Sky Fox Academy, he can also resign and apply for a job at Sky Fox Academy.
Gong Mengbi pondered for a moment and said, "Then let's set it for March 15th. The night of the full moon is perfect for inviting all colleagues to visit Fox Hill."
Dr. Huang raised an eyebrow and said, "If they don't bother you, you still have to maintain some dignity and not embarrass them too much."
Gong Mengbi smiled and said, "Don't worry, I know what's going on."
But on the night of the full moon, anyone who dares to do bad things can be invited to go to the moon to see the scenery.
After delivering the bad news, Dr. Huang added the good news, saying, "Fox academies are being built everywhere these days. This is the will of the goddess, but there are always fox spirits reporting that they have no money or food, making it difficult to move forward. They request the Heavenly Fox Academy to provide them with money and food to build Fox academies."
Gong Mengbi asked, "Would Xun Jijiu agree?"
Dr. Huang said, "He didn't want to agree, but the business was urgent, so he had to agree even if he didn't want to. You've been paying for the work out of your own pocket before, but now you can just write the paperwork and submit it, and they'll allocate enough money for you."
Gong Mengbi's eyes lit up and he asked, "Can you use something else to offset it?"
Dr. Huang asked, "What do you want?"
Gong Mengbi said, "I'm currently lacking a spell. I was originally thinking of waiting until after the Sky Fox Academy assessment to ask for it. Now that I have the chance, I can get it earlier."
Dr. Huang pondered for a moment and said, "I'll ask the chief priest for you. If it were someone else, it would be difficult to handle, but since you're asking, the chief priest will surely consider it carefully."
Gong Mengbi said, "Thank you very much, Master."
