Chapter 349: Auspicious Fortune and How to Make a Favor
As early as ancient times, foxes appeared in the world as auspicious signs.
It can be a messenger of the gods, conveying the gods' will, or it can foreshadow a good marriage and a long line of offspring, or even a good harvest.
But as time went on, the status of the fox continued to decline, and now it has become synonymous with a coquettish and slutty woman, like foxes and rats.
The reawakening of this auspicious nature is not only an increase in his cultivation, but also the fulfillment of the Way of the Heavenly Fox in him.
If we say that the nature of Fu Rui has any function, it seems to be very useful, but also seems to be useless.
It is said to be useful because it brings long-lasting luck and prosperity, often turning misfortune into good fortune and turning disaster into blessing. It even indicates auspiciousness and is loved by people. It can be compared to the God of Fortune and the Immortal of Pure Happiness.
But these uses are intangible, invisible and intangible. The more you pursue them, the more illusory they become. They cannot really help you beyond the level of magical powers. If you are going to suffer a disaster, you will still suffer a disaster. If you are going to be defeated, you will still be defeated.
But at least it is very useful to Gong Mengbi. For example, when dealing with the locust god at this time, it is auspicious and will not make the locust god feel disgusted.
Even at this moment, the Locust God was persuaded by him and began to calculate some kind of changing fate. He was influenced by Gong Mengbi and showed a kind of auspicious fortune in his calculations.
The locust god's eyes closed, and all the eyes on her robe opened.
When she opened her eyes, her clothes woven of yellow and green turned back into ordinary divine clothes, and the countless tiny gems on it lost their brilliance, as if they had closed their eyes.
The locust god asked, "Gong Mingfu, do you know what you are talking about?"
Gong Mengbi's narrow eyes revealed the information: "If I didn't know, I wouldn't tell you. Although I haven't yet reached the fourth level of cultivation and don't follow the path of the gods, I do understand that yin and yang are interdependent, and that positive and negative follow form. The Locust God has a bright future in cultivating the path of the God of Disaster. The path of the Righteous God may not be the foundation for your enlightenment, but it can certainly be helpful."
The Locust God smiled and said, "You are truly a wonderful person."
Gong Mengbi nodded slightly, thanking her for the compliment.
The Locust God looked at the Jinhua City God and asked, "Can you agree to what Gong Mingfu said?"
The Jinhua City God felt aggrieved but dared not show it on his face. He could only agree, saying, "Of course I can agree to it. I will do whatever Hu Zheng says."
The Locust God smiled and said, "Then I can agree to avoid Dongyang County and go somewhere else."
The Jinhua City God was overjoyed and said, "Thank you, Locust God, for your help!"
The Locust God returned the greeting slightly and said, "I will not stay any longer. In ten days, my other body will come to Dongyang to collect the debt. I hope the Lord God will enshrine my name in Dongyang County as promised."
The Jinhua City God said, "Of course, of course."
The locust god didn't want to stay any longer, so the Jinhua City God opened the way for him to go to the human world.
The little ghosts came carrying the sedan chair, Gong Mengbi led the way, holding the zither and playing a farewell song.
The melodious sound of the piano is touching.
The locust god half-closed his eyes, looking a little drunk, a little happy, and even revealing a calmness that seemed as if he was half asleep.
When the sedan chair stopped at Yongchang Township, the little ghost prostrated himself on the ground, and the locust god slowly opened his eyes and was led down from the sedan chair by Gong Mengbi.
Yongchang Township was clean and tidy, with no locusts flying in to eat the crops.
The Locust God showed a look of surprise again and asked, "You have driven away the locusts?"
After hearing a few clear bird calls in the wind, the Locust God raised his head and saw three divine birds circling in the sky.
A colorful bamboo sparrow, a five-colored pheasant, and a white-necked crow.
The three divine birds scared away the locusts. In the forest not far away, there were dense swarms of birds standing on the treetops, staring at the locusts outside Yongchang Township with a fierce look.
The Locust God looked at Gong Mengbi.
Gong Mengbi smiled and said, "Your level of cultivation is too high. We have to take everything into account before we can even talk to you."
Not only that, a big monk chanted the Buddha's name and walked towards them.
The Locust God asked, "What is this for?"
Gong Mengbi smiled and said, "I'd better not say it."
The big monk did not approach them, but saluted the Locust God from afar, and then watched Gong Mengbi lead her away.
Gong Mengbi escorted the Locust God out of Yongchang Township and asked, "I have yet to ask the Locust God how to establish your name and how to establish your divine grace."
The locust god looked at the locusts that had devoured all the greenery in the forests and trees and said, "My name is Miss Jin, and I am the god who drives away locusts."
Gong Mengbi showed a hint of surprise, then looked at the endless locusts, and felt that it was reasonable.
Miss Jin glanced at him and said, "Gong Mingfu, we'll see each other again in the future."
Gong Mengbi bowed to say farewell, and saw Miss Jin turned into a gray cloud. Among the mountains and fields, countless yellow and gray locusts flapped their wings, covering the sky and the sun, and flew away into the distance.
Only when the locusts really flew away did Gong Mengbi feel relieved.
Abbot Huiming walked up to Gong Mengbi and said, "You came too quickly. I haven't had time to find her true form yet."
Gong Mengbi laughed and said, "Fortunately, I didn't find it. Otherwise, if she saw it, it would be really troublesome."
Abbot Huiming asked, "What happened? Why did you come so quickly?"
Gong Mengbi then told him everything that happened in the Pure Land. Abbot Huiming praised him, saying, "He is brave and resourceful, neither humble nor arrogant. Hu Zheng is truly a divine being."
Gong Mengbi said, "An elder of mine once taught me that it's better to be kind than to be hostile. Making an enemy of a disaster god like the Locust God would result in immeasurable consequences. But if you benevolently support her and make her your own, that would be a completely different story."
What’s even better is that Gong Mengbi borrowed this favor from others, generously giving to them, so he didn’t have to do the hard work himself.
"It's better to make friends than to make enemies. How wonderful!" Abbot Huiming exclaimed in admiration. He watched the locusts fly away and sighed dejectedly, "It's a pity that I can save Dongyang County but not the world."
Gong Mengbi's face also darkened, "The world, the world."
He muttered a few words, then said comfortingly, "Saving Dongyang County was already very difficult. I was prepared for a fierce battle, which would end in a loss for both sides."
Abbot Huiming said, "It is indeed a blessing from heaven."
The two of them no longer worried about it and took the sedan chair back to the Yin and Yang world, the pure land.
But when they arrived at this Yin-Yang Pure Land, they saw that the Jinhua City God had a very ugly expression on his face, and even Madam Lingxiao had a solemn look on her face.
Gong Mengbi was puzzled, and suddenly he saw that this pure land was covered with holes, as if it had been bitten by countless mouths.
From these cracks, the wind from the underworld blew in, covering the transparent pure land with a layer of black.
This is the lesson and warning left by Miss Jin.
