Chapter 238: Fox calms down and stays in the academy
The fox boys also responded to his passion. When thirty-three fox boys were admitted to the Tianhu Academy, the entire Tianhu Academy was shocked.
When Gong Mengbi took the entrance exam to the Heavenly Fox Academy, only he and Hu Jiao passed. But now, after three years of training, thirty-three wild foxes from the Fox Academy can pass.
The aristocratic families' belief that wild foxes were uneducable was refuted, and the power they held would soon be lost in the succession of fox spirits.
This is a future that everyone can foresee, and it is also a grand trend.
From the perspective of the goddess and the chief priest, this was a period of great prosperity for the foxes, with many talented people emerging. But from the perspective of the aristocratic foxes, it might even be an unprecedented crisis and catastrophe.
A storm is about to come in Mount Tai, but at the moment, the Fox Courtyard in Wuning County is warm and peaceful.
Gong Mengbi recalled the foxes' days at Fox Child Court with a feeling of emotion. He said, "If you make it to Heavenly Fox Court, you will be my fellow Daoists in the future. Even if you don't make it to Heavenly Fox Court, Fox Child Court will always be open to you. Everyone, the Dao journey is arduous, and the future is long. I will encourage you all."
"Thank you, Master!"
Li Taoyun thanked him loudly and bowed deeply.
All the foxes looked at him and were immediately annoyed. This guy was admitted to the Sky Fox Academy, but he was still so scheming. It was disgusting.
"Thank you, Master!"
The next moment, all the foxes bowed down loudly with deep gratitude.
Gong Mengbi and Beilai Daxian looked at each other and smiled with relief.
The foxes that were awakened also made a big fuss in the fox house, and they were all noisy and excited.
"Did you hear that? They passed! Over thirty of them passed!"
"My Lord! All the more than 30 students in the Sky Fox Academy will be able to cultivate immortality in the future!"
"Doesn't that mean we know over thirty fox spirits?"
Another fox said in frustration, "I really regret not getting to know them better before. It would be best if I could marry one of them."
"Go on sleeping if you're not awake yet. They don't even have time to practice, so how can they have time to argue with you." Another fox spat.
"If they can pass the exam, so can we! In two years, I will also be admitted to the Heavenly Fox Academy to practice Taoism!" A fox boy said excitedly in his heart.
As soon as these words were spoken, a faint light flashed in the eyes of all the foxes.
Instead of getting to know a fox fairy, why not become a fox fairy yourself?
The role model is right in front of us and the future is in our hands. If we don’t work hard now, when will we?
Some of the foxes were still jumping around, but some had already secretly taken out their books and started studying as the sky began to lighten.
However, it is not easy for foxes to practice secretly without being discovered. After a while, the foxes' commotion stopped and they all practiced magic or reviewed scriptures in the dim morning light.
Gong Mengbi also ordered the foxes in the execution ground to disperse and have a good rest so that they could make plans for the future.
All the foxes dispersed, but only Kang Wen stayed.
Kang Wen looked at Gong Mengbi and said, "Sir, I have been admitted to the Tianhu Academy and will be practicing there. I wonder if you have any advice for me?"
Gong Mengbi said, "I'll tell you all about it in a few days. The Heavenly Fox Courtyard is much more complicated than the Fox Child Courtyard. It can't be explained in a few words. I'll have to explain it to you slowly."
Kang Wen laughed and said, "I have another question. After the spring, the Fox Courtyard won't have any fox sheds left for us. I wonder if I can stay there?"
Gong Mengbi saw the ambition and brilliance flashing in her eyes. What she asked was not whether she could stay in Fox Academy to practice, but whether she could stay in Fox Academy to work.
Gong Mengbi admired her boldness and ambition, but some things had to be told the truth.
He smiled and said, "Do you know what staying in Fox Court means to you?"
Kang Wen looked at Gong Mengbi with some doubts.
Gong Mengbi said, "You are the first Fox Boy to be admitted to the Heavenly Fox Academy. Although you come from the Fox Boy Academy in Wuning County, there will definitely be others who will try to win you over. Some of them come from families with profound knowledge and some have strong financial resources, but there is no doubt that none of them are my kind. If you choose to stay in the Fox Boy Academy, you will be branded as me, become part of my faction, and offend those people."
"You still don't understand what those people represent, so are you sure you want to tie me to this ship?"
Kang Wen's expression gradually became serious.
Gong Mengbi said, "You can think about it again. There's no need to make a decision so quickly."
Kang Wen shook his head and said, "I never thought there would be fighting within the Sky Fox Academy, and I certainly didn't expect the Master to be surrounded by tigers and wolves. I was taught by you and am your student. How could I possibly join someone else's school? Although I may be short-sighted, the Master has shown me great kindness. I will stay in the Fox Academy."
Gong Mengbi nodded and said, "Okay, in that case, you will be the manager of the Fox Courtyard first. Your cultivation is still in its infancy. After two years of cultivation, when you have achieved success and are ready for external appointments, I will recommend you to be the director of the Fox Courtyard in Wuning County."
Kang Wen was pleasantly surprised, but his expression was very serious as he said, "I will definitely live up to your trust, sir."
After being admitted to the Tianhu Academy, although the Tianhu Academy provided education for students, it did not provide food and lodging. Therefore, even when cultivating in the Tianhu Academy, one could only wait for the call on the first and fifteenth day of each month, and still had to make a living on weekdays.
This is why Gong Mengbi hopes that all foxes will plan well for the future.
Gong Mengbi practiced in the Heavenly Fox Academy for ten years, and finally achieved immortality. During those ten years, he practiced in seclusion at the Shen family and made connections in the county town.
How long these foxes need to practice depends on their personal opportunities, and what kind of livelihood they choose is also very particular.
If you are busy all day and have no time to practice, you will waste your time in Tianhu Academy. If you fail the annual test and the assessment, it will be difficult for you to achieve immortality.
If one is too reclusive and isolated from the world, it will be difficult to accumulate good deeds, which will be disadvantageous for the annual examination. The right balance must be grasped.
In fact, Gong Mengbi had already given them an inspiration. They had previously gained experience in the countryside, and if they could directly take up the position, it would be the best career path.
If not, you have to choose again.
Ning Caichen and Ma Junji spent two days grading the exams, finally finishing the Foxes' grades. Although some were good and some were bad, the joy in the Foxes' academy grew stronger day by day.
The annual vacation has begun.
Ning Caichen and Ma Junji said goodbye to Gong Mengbi and went home to celebrate the New Year. The foxes who needed to go down the mountain did so one after another, and those who did not need to go down the mountain were already preparing for the New Year.
It was the last year that the first group of foxes spent in the Fox Courtyard. All the foxes wanted to have a big celebration and started preparing early.
During this period, Gong Mengbi shared his experience of cultivation in Tianhu Academy with the fox boys who were admitted to Tianhu Academy. Although he did not deliberately discredit the aristocratic fox families, his words made the fox boys feel the barrier between the foxes from the aristocratic families and their wild foxes, which was also a subtle reminder.
When they were inspired by Tianhu Academy and went to Tianhu Academy to practice, they would gradually be able to distinguish the differences.
However, Gong Mengbi had no idea what countermeasures the aristocratic foxes would take. If they were clever, they could find a way to coexist with the wild foxes. If they weren't, within ten or a hundred years, the aristocratic family would be swept into oblivion, never to recover.
