Chapter 287: Sending a Letter to Qiantang and My Elders
Dragon seals, phoenix seals, flying bird calligraphy, these are all powerful texts created by practitioners.
The fox script and dragon pattern in the Dragon-Suppressing Tripod are different from the fox script today, and the changes and representations of the characters are also somewhat different.
But because of the same origin, it is not difficult to verify - not to mention that it is a fox family, which makes it much easier.
Dragon patterns are more troublesome. Gong Mengbi doesn't understand dragon patterns, but he can learn them.
He is now practicing the Flying Dragon Sword Technique and trying to comprehend the virtue of the Azure Dragon. Learning about the dragon patterns is also an investment for his future practice.
Of course, one cannot figure out matters of spiritual practice on one's own, so Gong Mengbi sought help from Dr. Huang.
Dr. Huang was surprised and asked, "You want to learn Dragon Script?"
Gong Mengbi said: "I recently got a good thing, but it requires dragon text to comprehend."
Dr. Huang didn't ask what valuables he had obtained. After a moment's thought, he said, "The Sky Fox Academy does have some fragments of Dragon Script Daoist books, but they are extremely superficial. I'm afraid you won't learn much from them. If you want to learn Dragon Script, you must learn from dragons."
Gong Mengbi said worriedly, "Where can I find a dragon to learn Taoism from? Any real dragon is beyond the reach of an ordinary wild fox like me."
Dr. Huang laughed and said, "You are being too self-deprecating. You have the favor of the goddess and the appreciation of the Lord of the Mansion. If you are just an ordinary wild fox, then what am I? With the appreciation of the goddess and the Lord of the Mansion, why should I be afraid of a real dragon?"
That's true.
Even if it is a dragon species, even if it is a real dragon, there is nothing worthy of praise in front of the goddess and the lord of the palace.
But the goddess is the goddess, the lord is the lord, and Gong Mengbi is Gong Mengbi. Appreciation from superiors and support from elders are two different things and cannot be compared.
Now that Gong Mengbi is a wise and capable person, how can he ask for rewards from his superiors if he has not achieved any results?
Gong Mengbi told Dr. Huang about his difficulties, and he understood.
She thought for a moment and said, "I'll report to the chief priest and discuss with him whether I can get an opportunity for you."
Gong Mengbi had no choice but to thank him first.
After chatting about cultivation and trivial matters, Dr. Huang said, "Once the winter solstice passes, the New Year is not far away. If a few more wild foxes can pass the exam this year, it will be enough to explain something. You should pay more attention to it."
Gong Mengbi sighed and said, "I've done what I should do. The rest depends on their luck. If I have to teach students myself, then there's no need to continue Fox Academy."
Dr. Huang thought about it and felt that this was the truth.
If Gong Mengbi was gone, Fox Academy would not be able to teach students, and then Fox Academy would have indeed lost its meaning.
Of course, it's easy to say, but in fact, everything that Gong Mengbi needed to arrange has been handed over to Kang Wen. Although he didn't do it himself, he was always concerned about it.
Before the annual exam, Dr. Huang had good news.
Summoning Gong Mengbi from Lanyin Mountain, Dr. Huang beamed with joy, saying, "You are indeed different. I told Xun Jijiu about your situation, and Xun Jijiu privately told the goddess. The goddess then had Fairy Qingyao write a letter, asking you to visit Qiantang Jun at Qiantang River and deliver the letter on my behalf. You can also take this opportunity to ask for advice on Dragon Writing."
Gong Mengbi was shocked and said, "Is it too much to ask Qiantang Jun for advice?"
Dr. Huang said, "Asking Qiantang Jun to teach you Dragon Script is indeed an overreaction, but asking you to deliver the letter must be something the goddess has in mind."
Dr. Huang handed him the letter written by Fairy Qingyao, and the envelope was written with the words "Qiantang Jun personally wrote".
Gong Mengbi didn't know what was written in the letter, and he couldn't open it without permission. He had to keep the letter safely and prepare to leave for Qiantang to deliver it.
Before setting off, he arranged the affairs of the Fox Academy in Lanyin Mountain. Because the return date was uncertain and he didn't know what arrangements Qiantang Jun would make, he started teaching in advance and asked Niang to take Fox to review the Fox Book. The rest of the time, Zhu Zhengxin, Wenxiu and Xiaoqian would look after it, so there wouldn't be any trouble.
We went to Anyi Restaurant again and asked Fatty Kang to take care of it.
Fatty Kang agreed. There were still a few wild boar spirits on Lanyin Mountain. After the temple was built, they stayed to take care of the fields for Fatty Kang and planted a lot of fruits and vegetables. He would occasionally go up the mountain to take a look.
After settling matters at Lanyin Mountain, he returned to Wuning County to discuss arrangements with Kang Wen, saying, "I will definitely be back before the annual exam. If there are any difficult matters, please consult the Great Immortal Beilai."
Although the Immortal Beilai mostly came to teach at night, he had already established a deep friendship with Fox.
Gong Mengbi still felt uneasy, so he closed his eyes and concentrated, using the thread of fate to calculate the secrets of heaven. He didn't find anything wrong, so he left with peace of mind.
Qiantang Jun is naturally the Dragon King of Qiantang River. Gong Mengbi had to go to Yuhang to deliver the letter.
The seat of Dongyang County was in Jinhua County, and the seat of Yuhang County was in Qiantang County. He still had many old friends in Qiantang County, so he could take the opportunity of delivering the letter to visit several friends.
Shen Qiao and Shen Yan were studying at Wansong Academy, and Yan Chixia and Jinchan Yuanyao were also in Qiantang.
The fish in the fish pond still need to be fed regularly to prevent them from becoming unfamiliar with them over time.
From Dongyang to Yuhang, Gong Mengbi rode the wind and went east along the river. Along the way, he saw the surging mountains and rivers with magnificent waves.
When we arrived at Qiantang, the clouds dissipated and we entered the county town.
It would be a bad idea to cause any strange phenomena in broad daylight and disturb the people, so they had to wait until night to act.
Not knowing where Yan Chixia and Yuan Yao settled, he went to Wansong Academy first.
Wansong Academy is located in Wansong Ridge of Fenghuang Mountain. To the south is West Lake and to the north is Fenghuang Mountain. The mountains and water are close to each other, and the scenery is beautiful.
Gong Mengbi passed by West Lake, looked around, and exclaimed: "What beautiful water!"
It is indeed good water, full of inspiration and unparalleled scenery.
Such a good place is not only liked by humans, but also by monsters.
Gong Mengbi took a look and shook his head with a smile.
He went straight to Wansong Academy. As he walked, his clothes changed. By the time he entered the academy, he was already dressed like a scholar.
But he was too handsome and his manners too elegant, and when he walked through the academy, people would stop and look back frequently.
This small commotion quickly attracted the students in the dormitory, and from time to time someone would pop out to take a look.
Then I saw two students in one of the dormitories standing up excitedly, looking at each other, almost speechless.
A classmate on the side asked, "Do you know the guy outside?"
Shen Qiao smiled and said, "I recognize him! He's an elder from my family!"
As he spoke, he had already hugged all the books in his arms and rushed out the door.
Chen Yan followed closely behind and said hurriedly: "Brother Liang, Brother Zhu, we are leaving first!"
The handsome Zhu rolled his eyes and said, "I'll go take a look."
Brother Liang smiled and shook his head, then followed him to the door.
Shen Qiao and Shen Yan ran to Gong Mengbi, so excited that they couldn't speak. They wanted to recognize him but didn't dare to.
The last time we met was that night three or four years ago.
The two of them were locked in a chest by a demon, and were so frightened that their souls were about to leave them. It was Gong Mengbi who rescued them and brought them home as if riding on a cloud.
From that time on, they realized that there really were immortals in this world.
They were speechless, so Gong Mengbi smiled and said, "I haven't seen you for a few years. You have grown up."
Only after Gong Mengbi spoke did they dare to confirm that they had not made a mistake and said excitedly: "Fox..."
Gong Mengbi shook his head slightly and said, "Call me Uncle Gong, we can talk while we walk."
Shen Qiao immediately showed a look of shame, knowing that Gong Mengbi had heard what he said about "elders" in the study.
Gong Mengbi led them out of Wansong Academy, leaving the students with only his back and the sound of whispers.
