Chapter 271: Entering the Temple at Night, Fish Scale Mirror
The two big men who had already turned around paused, smiled, lifted the door curtain, and said, "Please come in."
The young master's heart was pounding. He could no longer tell where he was. Everything around him became blurry.
He walked straight towards the gambling table, his eyes fixed on the dice, his mind thinking, "I will definitely win, I will definitely turn the tables!"
The dealer asked impatiently, "Why did you let him in again?"
The two big men said, "He still has some money to gamble with. He wants to bet on his wife."
The dealer patted his face with his hand, bowed and said with a smile: "Look at my mouth, I look down on you, please don't be offended."
"Since we're betting on my wife, we can only bet against each other." The dealer said with a smile, "The young master's beautiful wife is well-known. I can bet one hundred taels."
"One hundred taels?" The young master's face twisted, his teeth chattered, and his eyes were bloodshot. "Okay, one hundred taels!"
The dealer narrowed his eyes and said with a smile, "Come."
The dice clattered in the dice cup. The dealer banged the dice cup on the table and asked with a smile, "Big or small?"
The young master's eyes were dull. He stared at the dice cup and seemed to squeeze out a voice from between his teeth: "Buy... big!"
The dealer opened the dice cup and said, "One, two, three, small."
It seemed as if a torrent of blood rushed to the top of the young master's head. He stood up straight and fell down again.
The banker was surprised for a moment and said, "Hurry up and carry the young master back. Don't let him die here. Bring a few more people to guard him, in case anything happens to him."
Several thugs from the gambling house sent the young master home, and soon after, heart-wrenching cries were heard.
In just half a day, the family was broken up and everyone was dead.
The young master opened his eyes, his wife burst into tears, his mother fainted on the spot and had not woken up yet, and his old father looked at him with a strange and desperate look.
The young master couldn't bear such a look. He opened his mouth, but could no longer utter any words of defense. He just rushed out of the door like a madman, howling like a wild beast.
The thugs guarding the door were stunned, but when they saw it was him, they ignored him. This man was the God of Wealth. Even if he was crazy, he was still the God of Wealth.
The God of Wealth came out into the night, wailing like a madman on the road.
Gambling houses are inseparable from power and influence. A small restaurant owner has no ability to resist in the eyes of those bloodless gambling houses.
Now that the young master has come to his senses, how could he not see that he had been framed and cheated?
In addition to the gambling house, the conspiracy was also carried out by his friends who ate, drank and had fun together.
He hates! He resents!
He hated his own stupidity, his bad friends, the gambling dens, and even hated how easy it was to make money in the ice cream parlors, but he lost everything gambling and having fun.
He tripped, fell, and rolled over, hitting his head on the step.
He looked up and saw a small temple standing silently at the end of the alley.
The flickering candlelight in the temple casts a strange and terrifying veil over the five statues of gods with different appearances.
"Wutong Temple..."
The young master's eyes flickered with fire. He crawled into the temple and kowtowed heavily to the ground. "Please bless me, Wutong God! I beg you to bless me, Wutong God! I want money, I want to redeem the restaurant, I want to redeem my wife! I am willing to offer everything, just asking Wutong God to save me."
A gust of cold wind blew through the Wutong Temple, and there seemed to be a chirping sound in the wind, as if someone was talking.
The five statues slowly turned their eyes and looked towards the young master.
But the young master was still kowtowing, knowing nothing.
The moon is dim and the stars are sparse. I wonder what kind of filth is hidden in places where the bright moon cannot reach.
The summer heat was unbearable, but because of the ice basin and Lanyin Temple being in the mountains, it was not that unbearable.
Gong Mengbi did not favor one over the other. The foxes that were available in Lanyin Mountain were also available in Fox Hill.
In early July, Gong Mengbi returned to Fox Hill and stayed there for one night.
When it was late at night, a breeze suddenly blew in the Fox Hill, and the moonlight was bright. The cry of a fox resounded throughout the Fox Yard.
Gong Mengbi laughed and stood outside Kang Wen's room to protect her.
After a while, the spiritual energy of Fox Hill slowly calmed down, and Gong Mengbi knew that she had successfully entered the realm of enlightenment.
Kang Wen's surprised cry came from the room. She pushed open the door and saw Gong Mengbi standing on the porch with a smile on his face.
Kang Wen said in surprise: "Sir, I have entered the realm of the rank!"
Gong Mengbi nodded and said, "Congratulations! Today you have transcended the mundane world and entered the path of immortality."
Kang Wen gathered his thoughts and bowed, "Thank you for your guidance, sir. If I hadn't followed you, I would still be wandering in my grave."
Gong Mengbi said, "Master guides you into the path, but cultivation is up to you. You are naturally gifted and have always had a heart for the Dao. The fact that you were able to reach the Ninth Rank before them is your own achievement."
Gong Mengbi handed a mirror to Kang Wen and said, "This is a mirror I made from fish scales. I'm giving it to you as a gift."
Kang Wen took the fish-scale mirror, which was shiny and bright. He slightly absorbed and exhaled his magic power, and it emitted a moonlight-like radiance, which seemed to echo the moonlight.
Gong Mengbi said, "If you practice this mirror, you can condense the moonlight for cultivation. It contains the Taoist magic I practiced. You can use it to perform illusions and to freeze people's souls. Be careful when using it."
Kang Wen was very happy. Looking at the gift, he asked, "Sir, have you known for a long time that I will be admitted?"
Gong Mengbi said, "I discovered this the last time I came here. I was afraid that if I pointed it out to you, you would lose your composure, so I calculated your progress and estimated that you would succeed today."
Kang Wen was delighted to be remembered by his teacher. He was even happier when he remembered that he had reached the ninth level before Li Tayun and was now the leader of all the fox disciples.
Gong Mengbi was also happy, not only because of the good harvest, but also because with the ninth-rank Kang Wen in charge of Fox Hill, the Fox Courtyard in Wuning County would be safer.
Although the Great Immortal Beilai was teaching, his main job was at Lanzhu Mountain in Shanyin, so he couldn't always be on duty. The Five Ghost Gods took turns on duty, but they were, after all, retainers of Gong Mengbi and couldn't be counted in the Fox Courtyard.
Gong Mengbi did not attend the celebration of Kang Wen's promotion to the rank of rank.
She invited all her friends, especially Li Taoyun, to establish herself as the eldest senior sister. At the celebration banquet, she took out the fish-scale mirror given to her by Gong Mengbi and showed it to all her classmates.
Everything else can make all the classmates treat each other with a normal attitude, but this fish-scale mirror really makes the classmate Hu Zi jealous and sour.
Li Tayun said to several fox spirits under his command, "Look at her, she's so proud of herself! I'm so proud of myself! When I reach the ninth level, I'll ask the master to give me a treasure."
Everyone wants to be the teacher's favorite student. Kang Wen now has the upper hand, but the rest of the foxes are also trying their best to catch up with her.
