Chapter 266: Good Sister, Mr. Pig
I don't know what noise disturbed the village dogs. I only heard one dog barking, and then other dogs in the village started barking one after another.
The dog owner, disturbed by the peace of the night, got up with a stick and checked. There was nothing inside the courtyard wall, and the dog kept barking at the empty road.
"You damn dog! What are you barking for? You don't want to sleep!"
The owner scolded the dog and threatened to hit it, but the dog then lay obediently on the ground, wagging its tail and whimpering softly.
The dog owner shook his head, went up to touch its head, and said, "Stop barking, I still want to sleep."
The dog barked twice.
Unfortunately, the dog owner didn't understand. He still looked around vigilantly, but didn't find anything suspicious, so he went back to the room.
The dog wanted to bark but didn't dare. It bared its teeth and made low threatening sounds.
The dog that started barking stopped, and then the other dogs in the village gradually stopped barking, and everything returned to peace.
Only one house quietly opened the door, and the man who opened it reached out and pinched the visitor, saying jokingly, "I knew you were coming when I heard the dog barking."
The person who came grabbed the man's hand and applied a little force. The man cried out softly, "Good sister, good sister, please spare me."
"Good sister" raised her eyebrows and said, "If you touch me again, watch out for your skin."
The man laughed awkwardly and said, "Sister, we were once friends, how could you turn your back on me like this?"
The woman shook her head and said, "I was wrong. I coveted your beauty, but I didn't realize you were a shameless pervert. You spent your whole day doing nothing but pleasure and love."
The man fell silent and said angrily, "Sister, you came here specifically to make fun of me today."
The woman said, "How could I have so much free time? I ran all this way just to make fun of you, and was chased and bitten by a dog in the middle of the night."
The man took advantage of what he heard and came up to her again, hugging her waist and saying, "I knew that my sister was thinking about me."
The woman said quietly, "I was thinking of you and came here to find a future for you."
The man said, "What future? As long as my sister is with me, I don't want any future at all."
The woman's chest heaved violently, and she turned around and slapped him twice, leaving him dizzy and shocked.
The man stood aside with his face covered, looking at the woman as if he had seen a ghost.
The woman looked at him, her chest heaving with anger, tears welling in her eyes. She said, "Why did I ever fall for you in the first place? I rushed here at night and suffered so many shocks, and yet you're just being so kind to me?"
The man dared not speak anymore.
The woman said, "The immortals from the Heavenly Fox Court have arrived at Lanyin Temple in the north of the county, hoping to teach the ways of enlightenment and guide the wild foxes in their cultivation. I helped build the Taishan Goddess Temple at Lanyin Temple, and knowing the significance of this, I came to find you overnight."
She suppressed her anger and said, "In the future, I will follow the Immortal to cultivate. Whether you come or not, it's up to you. I can't control you, so I won't care about you anymore!"
The woman walked out of the door with a bang, and then she disappeared.
The man immediately became anxious and ran out of the door, shouting, "Sister! Good sister!"
But there was no one outside the door, only the barking of dogs in the distance, one after another, echoing endlessly.
The man slapped himself twice again, turned around and went into the room. After a while, he came out with a bundle on his back, and turned into a sleek, snow-white fox with only a red spot between the eyebrows, looking like a peach blossom.
The white fox chased in the direction of the county town like the wind, leaving behind the slowly collapsing gate and wall of the house, which was clearly an old grave, a cave.
As promised, the foxes went to every village and town in Jinhua, and even to every mountaintop to report the good news.
Gong Mengbi had not waited for a few days in Lanyin Temple when foxes came one after another, offering sacrifices to the Goddess of Mount Tai and asking for guidance from Gong Mengbi.
Gong Mengbi only asked them to come again on the first day of the new year, but he did not let them make a wasted trip. He asked them to draw lots in the temple and he would be the master who interpreted the lots.
Although Master Gong cannot predict the future, he can use fate to make predictions if he has a connection with him.
Although these foxes came to pay homage to the Goddess of Mount Tai, their fate with him was not yet there and was very shallow, which was also a bit of a test for him.
If he did this before he reached the sixth rank, he would have exhausted all his energy every time he looked at one, but when he reached the sixth rank, the wonder of the spirit was revealed.
Gradually, he also gained many insights into fortune-telling by combining the art of observing qi, the waxing and waning of the moon, and the changes in the astrological signs of the Blue Dragon and the Seven Stars.
After seeing it so many times, I no longer need to rely on the wishing tree to spy on it. I can already see the fate of these foxes and give them some timely advice, which is quite effective.
Gong Mengbi did not forget to look for new teachers to teach, but after visiting the county town several times, he did not find a satisfactory one.
Until one night, Gong Mengbi was meditating in the courtyard while gazing at the moon, when he saw Zhu Zhengxin walking back and forth stealthily in the corridor, at a loss as to what to do, and hesitant to speak.
Gong Mengbi asked, "If you have something to say, just say it. Why are you being so shy?"
Zhu Zhengxin arrived at the courtyard, his face twitching slightly. After a long pause, he said, "I'm truly ashamed. I've seen the Immortal Master searching for a teacher these days but to no avail. I wanted to recommend myself, but how can I possibly teach in my current state of disgrace?"
"I feel really guilty for disturbing the immortal's practice." Zhu Zhengxin sighed, bowed, and wanted to leave.
But Gong Mengbi looked him up and down, then suddenly smiled and said, "I was wondering why I couldn't find a suitable gentleman. It turns out that the gentleman was right in front of me, but I ignored him."
"Ah?" Zhu Zhengxin was dumbfounded and said, "This...this..."
Gong Mengbi said, "You are also a scholar, how can you not be one?"
Zhu Zhengxin didn't know where to put his hands. He pointed at his face and then put them down again. His face was full of inferiority and shame. "My greed has brought me down. How can I teach in this state? I will mislead the students."
Gong Mengbi said, "Now you are a pig demon, and they are fox demons. Don't they complement each other?"
Zhu Zhengxin looked at Gong Mengbi and said, "Master, I..."
Gong Mengbi waved his hand and said, "You have gained some experience in guarding your mind and concentrating your thoughts. The Heart Refining Lock has not been touched for a long time."
He looked at Zhu Zhengxin and was quite satisfied. He decided, "You're the one. This saves me from searching for a needle in a haystack."
Gong Mengbi's confidence in him gradually calmed Zhu Zhengxin down, "I will definitely not let the Immortal down."
Gong Mengbi shook his head, pointed to his heart, and said, "It's not about not disappointing me, it's about not disappointing yourself."
Zhu Zhengxin touched his heart and found it was beating very strongly, which made him feel very at ease.
