Chapter 268: Don’t judge by appearances, it’s not the right path
The fox fairy in the document library saw Gong Mengbi and smiled, saying, "Gong Mingfu is here to deliver the documents. Sisters, please expedite it."
His document was then sent to the warehouse and opened personally by the fox fairy in charge of the warehouse. Two documents were found in one document.
One of them will be submitted to Xun Jijiu for review as usual.
The other one was handed over to the News Department.
Several fox fairies in the same palace cast a coquettish glance at Meng Bi and sent him away from Fengwensi.
His document was finally handed to Fairy Qingyao. Fairy Qingyao took a look at it, sighed softly, and said, "Keep it. These are troubled times, and all kinds of evil demons and bandits will emerge."
Gong Mengbi's document focused on the two disaster demons he had encountered recently, as well as the person behind the cultivation of the disaster demons.
The Rumors Department will create files and collect relevant information, but Gong Mengbi is not sure what they can collect.
After all, the ability of the person behind the scenes is probably terrifyingly high, at least at the fourth level, otherwise there would be no such sensation.
The current chief priest of Tianhu Academy is only of the fourth rank, so it is hard to say whether he can collect any clues.
Gong Mengbi has no ability to take care of this matter, and even Tianhuyuan may not have the ability to take care of it. They just pass on the information.
After returning to Lanyin Mountain, the foxes had already settled down under the arrangement of Niang and Xiaoqian.
The first class that day was Zhu Zhengxin’s liberal arts and economics class.
Seeing this pig-faced gentleman with a burly back and strong arms sitting in the hall, the foxes all felt uneasy.
This gentleman doesn't look very friendly. In comparison, the wild boar demon digging the ground is more handsome than him, and has a rather ferocious face.
Zhu Zhengxin was a little discouraged, but after calming himself down, he began to lecture them.
It talks about the Thousand Character Classic, the mysterious universe and the vastness of the sky and earth.
Then he explained it with the Book of Changes, saying that "Xuanhuang is the mixture of heaven and earth. The sky is dark and the earth is yellow." He then extended the meaning with heaven and earth, expanded it with Xuanhuang, quoted from classics, and put forward wonderful theories.
You can tell whether it is genuine or not just by opening your mouth.
Then the fox could be heard whispering underground, "Although Mr. Pig looks scary, he is a man of great talent."
"Don't judge a person by his appearance; he is nothing more than this."
Many of the foxes in the courtyard were literate. After all, since they were close to the county town, they had some skills, so it was not surprising that they could recognize words.
The more characters you recognize, the more you can tell how Zhu Zhengxin is doing academically.
For a moment, they all sat up straight and listened attentively, not perfunctorily.
Gong Mengbi stood outside the hall for a while, and when he saw that Zhu Zhengxin had already won Linghu Zi's respect, he left with a smile.
After Zhu Zhengxin was dismissed, Gong Mengbi went to see him again and found that his mental state was very different from before.
Zhu Zhengxin bowed deeply to Gong Mengbi and said, "Immortal, your kindness is so great that I dare not express my gratitude. I can only devote myself to repaying your kindness."
Gong Mengbi helped him up and said, "Why do you need to work so hard? Just teach well."
Xiaoqian watched from the side and smiled, "Congratulations."
Zhu Zhengxin looked at her and smiled, "Congratulations, congratulations."
Xiao Qian asked, "Where does my joy come from?"
Zhu Zhengxin thought: "Miss Xiaoqian, why don't you look in the mirror?"
Xiaoqian really went back to the room and looked at herself in the mirror. She saw that the girl in the mirror was young and energetic, less pretentious and more beautiful.
Xiaoqian was stunned and speechless, but suddenly she laughed.
She herself didn't even realize it, but she rarely lamented the fickleness of fate, and rarely showed the melancholy look of someone sinking in the sea of suffering and unable to escape.
When she was under the Ghost Mother's command, the Ghost Mother naturally treated her well, but this kindness was a fate that could not be refused.
Just as she could not refuse to test the people who had strayed in for the Ghost Mother, she also could not refuse the Ghost Mother's kindness.
But now, things are very different.
Before the fox came, Xiaoqian and Zhu Zhengxin kept each other company, feeling lonely but at ease. After the fox came, she worked with her mother to manage the fox affairs, and surprisingly, she was still at ease and happy.
This state of mind was completely different from before. No wonder Zhu Zhengxin shared her joy. He really did.
Xiao Qian came out and said with a smile, "Master, I'm looking for a job now. Although I can't teach, I can definitely manage a household."
Gong Mengbi asked, "Haven't you been like this for a long time?"
Xiaoqian laughed, bowed and greeted with a smile on her face.
Although Gong Mengbi never said it explicitly, but since Gong Mengbi asked her to take Nuo Niang to settle the fox boy, didn't he treat her as the manager a long time ago?
As they gradually freed themselves from the bitterness in their hearts, they began to show different demeanors.
Gong Mengbi walked to the corridor and said slowly: "How?"
In that deserted place, a faint smoke appeared, which transformed into a beautiful woman, emitting a faint orchid fragrance.
The Rakshasa Ghost Mother said, "It's different from what I imagined."
Gong Mengbi looked at her expression carefully, then laughed and said, "But the Ghost Mother is actually satisfied, isn't she?"
The Rakshasa Ghost Mother snorted coldly and said, "A descendant of an old friend now has a grudge against me. A lonely ghost now has a grudge against me. What do they have to do with me?"
As he spoke, the smoke dissipated, and the Rakshasa Ghost Mother had retracted her arrogance and no longer listened to Gong Mengbi's nonsense.
Gong Mengbi lowered his eyes slightly, "It's still a little short of the right temperature."
But there is no need to rush, just simmer it over low heat and the flavor will gradually emerge.
In the evening, after Gong Mengbi finished his lecture on cultivation, he left with Xiaoniang to inquire about the situation. He asked, "I'm not very familiar with Jinhua. Are there any Taoist practitioners around here?"
Niang said, "North of Lanyin, in Jinhua Mountain, there are the Great Immortal Temple and the Golden Buddha Temple. They are both famous places for spiritual practice, and they are home to true practitioners. But we little foxes have never been there."
Gong Mengbi nodded and said, "I'll go take a look when I'm free. We're neighbors now, so we should visit more often."
Niang said, "The Master is a fox spirit, so it's really worth visiting him more often."
Gong Mengbi asked, "What's the situation in the county town?"
Niang said, "Things are complicated in the county town. The City God is certainly a legitimate deity, but he may not be as powerful as the wild gods."
Gong Mengbi was surprised and asked, "How can a wild god be more glorious than a true god?"
Niang said, "It is the Five-Direction God."
"The Five Gods are quite powerful. They are five wild gods with countless believers. There is only one City God Temple, but temples dedicated to the Five Gods are everywhere."
Gong Mengbi was surprised and asked, "The City God doesn't care?"
"How can we control it? The people still believe in it, and it won't stop despite repeated bans," said the maiden.
Gong Mengbi asked, "How could he be so effective that he has so many followers?"
Niang said, "I've only heard that if you ask for wealth, you'll get wealth; if you ask for blessings, you'll get blessings. Everything will be granted, but the method used is quite despicable."
Gong Mengbi shook his head and said, "It doesn't seem like the right way."
Niang said: "It's just a wild god, it's definitely not the right way."
Gong Mengbi said: "It's not because he is a wild god that he is not righteous. It's because his actions are not righteous."
