Chapter 282 Wuchang takes office, General Zhao
He found a job for the bored Skull God, which was to watch a show in front of a mirror.
Everything Ma Zengguang sees, hears, and thinks will be reflected by the bright moon mirror in the spiritual platform. Gong Mengbi only needs to find a mirror and connect it with a spell, then he can use Ma Zengguang's eyes to spy on everything around him.
The Skull God was really idle, and Gong Mengbi would not let him out without anyone watching.
The reason for asking him to watch the show was, on the one hand, to monitor whether the new Wuchang God took office, and on the other hand, to enlighten him through Ma Zengguang.
Evil thoughts are hard to tame and we must not relax at all.
Although the Skull God now has the idea of following Gong Mengbi to reform himself and has found a way to make up for his inner flaws, he is still afraid that he will become lazy and return to his old ways.
The Skull God had nothing to do, so he looked at himself in the mirror with great interest. He would also record some of the things Ma Zengguang did, comment on them, and enjoy himself.
After understanding the whole story, and seeing that Ma Zengguang had a clear chance to escape the clutches of Wutong God, but instead fell deeper and deeper into it, he naturally became alert.
Two days later, the Skull God suddenly reported, "The Five Gods have taken office."
Gong Mengbi went with him to see, and sure enough, they saw the Five Gods coming to the Ma family and leaving their spirituality on the Ma family's statues again.
Gong Mengbi was not surprised by this result.
However, Ma Zengguang was a mortal being and could not see the true nature of the Five Gods, nor could he see the power of the Five Gods from the Moon Mirror.
But as they got to know each other more deeply, the Five Gods showed more of their abilities, and Gong Mengbi was naturally able to identify them.
The first thing the Wuchang God did when he took office was to resume the burning of incense.
When they arrived at Ma Zengguang's place, they discovered his good fortune.
Ma Zengguang, of course, didn't know that the Wuchang God had been replaced. Instead, he made a request to the Wuchang God, saying, "I want land, lots and lots of land."
The Five Gods were unaware of what had happened, and Ma Zengguang had forgotten about the incident at the Mingyue Ice House. Gong Mengbi was meticulous in his work, never letting small details get in the way.
This new Wuchang has the same moral character as the original Wuchang, so naturally they want to take away his good deeds and make him bear his bad debts.
To obtain the secret method of making ice and harvest more farmland, the latter is undoubtedly more difficult.
Seizing the method of making ice is just a trick used against a businessman, but seizing land is okay if it is a small amount, but once the amount is large, it will clash with the government, the powerful, and the aristocratic families.
It's easy to get superficial wealth because you can use covert tactics, but acquiring land requires a lot of tricks and more effort.
Ma Zengguang wanted to own land, and it was naturally Gong Mengbi who gave him the advice. Creating some trouble for the Five Gods would just make things easier for himself.
Gong Mengbi exhaled and said, "Watch over there. If there are any unusual signs, report them immediately."
The Skull God agreed.
As summer goes and autumn comes, the heat gradually dissipates.
Mingyue Ice House's business gradually declined, but it did not completely decline as others expected.
Chen Shan had a clever mind. Selling ice in the summer was a sure win. But in the spring and autumn, although he couldn't sell ice, he could use water transportation to travel north and south. Many new things that couldn't be sold far away could be circulated between the north and the south thanks to the power of ice boats.
It is not limited to Jinhua and Wuning. When business is good, large ships travel on rivers and seas, and money can be made wherever they go.
In order to avoid the harm of evil spirits, every household in the Shen family fleet worships the Goddess of Mount Tai and her fox spirit.
Gong Mengbi also thought a lot about him, and often asked him to take his business card to Fox Hill for help when he needed to go on a long journey.
Kang Wen sometimes contacted the graduated foxes for him, and sometimes assigned a few people around him.
Although his skills are not high and he cannot handle big situations, he can still cope with it as long as he does not go to dangerous places where there are few people.
Sometimes when the sea is rough, people on the fleet can hear the howling of foxes.
Sometimes the water would respond, sometimes not. Sometimes the captain would approach the altar alone and order the crew to sacrifice animals, and the storm would subside.
Sometimes sacrifices don't work, and you'll see strange light flying out of the boat, fighting with evil spirits in the water.
Sometimes when you are trapped in a river, you can see foxes howling on both sides of the river, scaring away the evil spirits in the water.
Everyone knows that the Shen family is blessed by fox spirits and the goddess.
With people's hearts being trusted, the Shen family is thriving and showing a different atmosphere.
Gong Mengbi saw it and helped secretly, and was very satisfied.
In the blink of an eye, it is the winter solstice.
It is customary to hold a grand sacrifice on the winter solstice. Kang Wen presides over the ceremony at Fox Hill and Niang presides over the ceremony at Lanyin Mountain.
Gong Mengbi spent the first half of the game at Lanyin Mountain and the second half at Fox Hill.
In other words, he was traveling thousands of miles in his mind, and Fox Hill was his home ground, so he could remain calm and composed.
Fox sacrifices were not as complicated as those in the human world. Although they returned to Wuning County a little late, the foxes were very happy.
The second batch of foxes are about to take the annual examination. Most of them are already working outside, and not many can come back to participate in the sacrifice. Those who live nearby feel that they have made a profit by returning to Fox Hill to ask Gong Mengbi for advice.
When night fell, the foxes went to rest one after another, and Gong Mengbi was able to escape.
This gave him the opportunity to return to Wuhuan Peak to take care of his old residence to prevent it from gathering dust. However, not long after, he was suddenly startled by a gloomy and ghostly aura.
This gloomy and ghostly aura was not directed at him, but it was too strong and frightened his soul.
Gong Mengbi's expression became solemn. He left Shouyue Tower and hid in the moonlight.
Then I saw a strong man wearing iron armor and holding a huge sword, riding a tall horse and slowly coming from the depths of Longpan Mountain, like a general on a trip.
The big horse was wearing armor, and the eyes exposed through the armor were flashing with red light. Only the part exposed outside the armor could reveal the white bones.
Wherever the horse passed, the wind whistled, and it seemed that the sound of hurried footsteps and the collision of armor could be heard.
To the naked eye, there was nothing, but in Gong Mengbi's eyes, he could see eight hundred military souls following in the gloomy wind.
Gong Mengbi narrowed his eyes, he knew who it was.
General Zhao, a defeated general of the previous dynasty and a loyal minister to the crown prince, once led 800 soldiers to cover the retreat, but was betrayed by his deputy general and died in battle in Longpan Mountain.
Even after the tiger dies, its might remains.
He was a great general in his lifetime, and became a military ghost after his death. He is also a hero among ghosts.
In terms of rich means, he is definitely not as good as Gong Mengbi, but in terms of powerful magic, Gong Mengbi is inferior.
Gong Mengbi had heard of his name a long time ago, but he had been lingering in Longpan Mountain, training troops and horses. Very few people could see his whereabouts, and he never participated in the struggle for territory in Longpan Mountain.
Of course, no one dared to seize his territory.
General Zhao hasn't appeared for a long time, but why is he showing up again today?
General Zhao rode his horse, seemingly slowly, but actually very fast.
Gong Mengbi hid in the moonlight and slowly followed them.
