Chapter 281: The Moon Enters the Spiritual Platform, Human Hearts Are Hard to Remove
Shopkeeper Ma staggered, nearly spitting out blood, and angrily exclaimed, "I feel ashamed of my ancestors for giving birth to such a rebellious son!"
Huan'er and the old lady supported him and gave him the strength to hold on so that he didn't fall down.
Gong Mengbi lowered his eyes and said, "Your son is stubborn and irreversible. The Five-Directional God will return soon. You three should escape first."
Shopkeeper Ma burst into tears and said, "I've worked so hard to make plans for this evil creature. Since he's so obsessed with wealth and fame that he's even abandoned his parents, wife, and children, my Ma family is done with him."
"But please, Master, tell me where we, the old, the weak, the women and the children, can escape to?"
Gong Mengbi said, "Let's go to Wuning. I've been there for a while, and it's a pretty peaceful place. Take your belongings and leave. I'll take care of the rest."
The old couple wiped their tears while packing up some of their hidden valuables. They left without touching anything else and took Huan'er away overnight.
A young woman and an elderly couple disappeared into the night.
Gong Mengbi cast a spell on them, which had no other effect but to bless them and ward off disasters, which was enough to bless them to reach Wuning safely.
I can't rely on my son, but Huan'er is much better than him.
Gong Mengbi withdrew his gaze and looked at the empty house of the Ma family.
The Wutong God in the main hall had lost his spirituality, and the new Wuchang God had not yet taken office, which gave him enough time to prepare.
Gong Mengbi found the old clothes of the old couple and Huan'er, blew on them gently, and they transformed into the appearance of the three people.
The old couple lay quietly on the bed, without breathing.
Huan'er pounced on the old couple and looked at them carefully. When she found that they were really gone, she looked sad and hanged herself on a stool.
A cold wind blew, causing the clothes to flutter, which was quite creepy.
Since we want to save them, the only way to escape is to die.
As for Ma Zengguang, Gong Mengbi had other plans.
Ma Zengguang was sleeping soundly like a dead pig. Gong Mengbi stood beside him, chanting a spell, carving the moonlight into a mirror, surrounding the fire of his heart in it, and then putting it into Ma Zengguang's spirit platform.
Ma Zengguang's heart was burning with desire, and the Heart Moon Fox was hiding in it, without any abruptness.
Only the mirror transformed by moonlight will be hidden in his spiritual altar, and everything he sees and feels in his heart will be reflected in it.
Gong Mengbi didn't need to inquire personally. As long as the Five Gods were concerned about his good fortune, they would come to him sooner or later, and he would naturally know their movements through Ma Zengguang.
This is actually not a very upright approach, but as a fox, you need to have flexible ideas and methods.
Even so, Gong Mengbi didn't even want to give away Ma Zengguang's auspicious life.
He wrote a document and burned it to the Yin-Yang Department, asking for assistance in checking Ma Zengguang's birthday record.
The longevity book is the fate book, which records Ma Zengguang's fate.
The Yin official from the Yin and Yang Department brought the supplementary volume of Ma Zengguang's birthday record and personally went to Lanyin Temple to report to Gong Mengbi, "The Ma family's ancestors have accumulated a lot of wealth, so it is only because of this that he has a good life."
"Destiny is determined by nature, while luck is acquired through experience. Although his innate nature is good, his greed is hard to shake off. He seeks wealth, kills, and worships evil gods. His acquired luck has declined, and this has obscured his innate good fortune."
Gong Mengbi asked, "What will happen to him if the Five-Power God wants to take his life?"
The Yin official said, "Innate destiny is a gift from heaven. To take away one's destiny is to take away heaven's good fortune, which is taboo. If one's innate destiny is taken away by others, only acquired luck remains, like rootless duckweed. When luck is good, nothing can be seen, but once luck declines, it will be an irreversible disaster in an instant."
Gong Mengbi asked, "Did the Yue Mansion take any action against Wutong?"
The Yin official sighed and said, "Wutong Temples are everywhere. As long as people's hearts are not dead, the evil spirits will be hard to kill."
Seeing Gong Mengbi's confusion, the Yin official explained, "Shangxian Mingfu practices the immortal way, not the Shinto way. Shinto people are either like me, who were granted or given orders, or they are the result of the gathering of human hearts. If the gods of incense and worship that gather human hearts are not eliminated before they become powerful, it will be difficult to take action again. Especially for a powerful evil god like Wutong, even if the original body is beheaded, it will be resurrected in the hearts of people and lurk even deeper."
"It's not the five powers that are hard to get rid of, it's the human heart that's hard to get rid of."
Gong Mengbi began to understand a little.
The Yin official said, "It's not like the Yue Mansion didn't do nothing. The Five Divine Signs, the Yin Deeds, the Yin Debts, and the Yin Debts were all done with the collusion of the kings of the underworld. I dare not say anything else, but I can only reveal to you that those who should be investigated are being investigated, and those who should be arrested are being arrested. Those who are difficult to move at the moment will also have the opportunity to move slowly."
Gong Mengbi bowed and said, "Thank you, Priest Zhou."
Priest Zhou waved his hand and said, "Your Excellency is someone the Lord of the Mansion has told me to trust, so what I'm saying isn't overstepping my bounds. I just want you to know that the Yue Mansion isn't a place that tolerates evil."
Gong Mengbi said, "I didn't suspect the Yue family of harboring an adulterer. I just had doubts in my heart, and the priest misunderstood me."
Priest Zhou smiled and said, "That's very good."
Gong Mengbi then turned the topic back to Ma Zengguang and asked, "The Five-Power God wants to take this lucky life. Is there any way to stop him?"
Priest Zhou said, "The simplest solution is naturally to kill this villain beforehand, thus ending his auspicious fate. But you and I can't do that. Alternatively, if we kill the Five-Power God, we can naturally prevent it. But if we want to tamper with the auspicious fate itself, that's too difficult. If we don't do it well, it will be suspected that the Yue Mansion is stealing human creation."
Gong Mengbi understood the difficulty of this, but it was Priest Zhou who advised him, "The destiny of Heaven is predetermined. Once it is bestowed upon the human world, it will not fall elsewhere. Immortal Mingfu is intent on plotting against the Five Passes. It would be better to play the long game and catch a bigger fish, rather than adding complications for the sake of a single villain."
Gong Mengbi said, "Thank you, Priest Zhou, for your guidance."
Priest Zhou chatted with him a little more about Wutong, then said goodbye and left.
Gong Mengbi gave up the idea of tampering with Ji Ming, as it was too dangerous. However, Wu Tong was difficult to eliminate, but Wu Chang was not necessarily the same.
We cannot eliminate the main culprit now, but we can slowly clip his wings.
Gong Mengbi has enough patience and is not in a hurry.
It's dawn.
Ma Zengguang also woke up and called out to Huan'er a few times, but there was no response.
When he went out, he saw Huan'er had hanged himself in the room, along with his elderly parents.
He actually couldn't remember last night's dream clearly, but facing such a scene, he seemed to have a vague sense of familiarity.
This familiar feeling diluted the sadness, so much so that not a single tear was shed during the funeral.
The weather was hot, so the funeral did not last long.
Peace returned to Ma Zengguang's home. It had been peaceful since his parents fell ill.
He adapted quickly.
