Chapter 376: Storm is coming, and there is talent to be cultivated
The light smoke and clouds as light as gauze float under the moon, and are illuminated by the moonlight with beautiful colorful halos.
All the stars in the sky have disappeared, only a lone star hangs in the distance of the bright moon, shining with a bright glow.
Chen Shan loves the moon.
In the past, he did not have the leisure to appreciate the moon, nor did he have the leisure to play with birds.
But after the fox fairy invited him under the moon, he became particularly fond of the moon, because the fox fairy often sent birds to gather news for him, so he was particularly fond of birds.
Whether it is the bright moon or the flying birds, they all have a sense of transcendence that is out of this world. Chen Shan is a worldly man, but that does not prevent him from yearning for this kind of transcendence.
Chen Shan stood in the courtyard admiring the moon. The thin clouds like blue smoke were stained with the moon's light and showed beautiful colors. He felt mesmerized.
"How's the moonlight?"
Shen Shan suddenly heard someone beside him ask.
Shen Shan smiled and said, “It’s big, round, beautiful and wonderful.”
The voice chuckled softly and said, "It seems great minds think alike."
Chen Shan looked back and saw the fox fairy he was thinking about standing with his hands behind his back, looking as if he was floating in the air.
Chen Shan was immediately surprised and said, "Fox Fairy!"
The fox-eyed immortal's features were gentle, less fierce and more compassionate. He said, "It's been a long time since we last met. It's rare that I'm back in Wuning and you're here too."
Shen Shan was very busy. The Shen family's business was getting bigger and bigger, and he couldn't sit still. He ran around and took charge of the overall situation.
He had just negotiated a big deal and had been separated from his wife for some time, so he hurried back. Coincidentally, Gong Mengbi also came to Fox Hill, so he showed up to meet him.
Chen Shan said: "It can be seen that I have a deep connection with the fox fairy. If it were not for the fox fairy's blessing, I would not have this family business."
Gong Mengbi smiled and said, "You have kept your promise, done good deeds and accumulated virtue, and only then will you have a lasting blessing. I was not wrong about you."
Shen Shan was very excited, and he was even happier when he received Gong Mengbi's praise.
Gong Mengbi asked: "Do you remember what I told you when I left your house that day?"
Chen Shan said, "Of course I remember, I will never forget. The fox fairy told me that day that my two boys were destined to be noble, but I was afraid that the storm would be bad and the boat would be hard to hold. She taught me how to build my family business and blessed me with continuous wealth until today."
Gong Mengbi nodded and said, "Just remember it."
Just as Chen Shan was about to speak, the fox fairy before him suddenly vanished like sand in the wind. All that could be heard was the howling of a fierce wind, and dark clouds gathered, covering the sky in an instant.
All that could be heard was Gong Mengbi's voice drifting in the wind, gradually fading away: "The storm is coming!"
The wind blows the divine osmanthus, and the jade plate is covered with dust.
In the blink of an eye, the sky was dark, and there was no light at all. All that could be heard was the wind blowing sand and rocks, breaking trees, and making a terrible whimpering sound that made people's hearts shudder, as if some evil beast was hiding in the darkness and pounced on Chenshan.
Shen Shan was startled and suddenly sat up from the bed, breathing heavily, with lingering fear in his heart.
Mrs. Shen patted his back gently and asked, “What’s wrong, did you have a nightmare?”
Shen Shan held her hand. Although the summer heat had not yet subsided, Mrs. Shen felt that his hand was icy cold.
Chen Shan listened for a while but heard no sound of wind. He opened the window to look at the scenery outside. He saw the bright moon like a mirror, reflecting the colorful clouds like mist, showing a rainbow color.
This scenery is exactly the same as in the dream.
This was not the first time that Chen Shan had experienced a similar dream. Before the flood, he dreamed of corpses floating in the water, and the flood did happen afterwards.
He held his wife's hand tightly and said, "Do you remember when the fox fairy left, I told you about a dream I had?"
Mrs. Shen nodded.
Shen Shan said: "The storm is dangerous, and the day of testing our Shen family is coming."
Mrs. Shen looked a little anxious and said, "Where are Yan'er and Qiao'er? Why not bring them back?"
Shen Shan hesitated, gritted his teeth, and said, "My Shen family is also a big family in Wuning, but it has changed a lot. I don't know if my boat is big enough."
But as a parent, no matter whether you succeed or not, you must give it a try.
Gong Mengbi gave Chenshan some advice in the dream, but as for what he should do, it depends on him.
Gong Mengbi wasn't a guardian deity after all, so he couldn't be attentive to everything and care about everything. Compared to the past, the Shen family's ability to withstand storms was much stronger.
After teaching Kang Wendao and reminding Chen Shan, Gong Mengbi did not return to Lanyin Mountain, but went to Xima Mountain.
Before the catastrophe happened, Gong Mengbi had the opportunity to go to Gusu to meet the King of Wu to prevent the world from falling into chaos and the King of Wu from strengthening his defenses, which would make many of his methods difficult to use.
Xima Mountain is now sparsely populated. The leader has died, the elders have been slaughtered, and only about ten disciples are left. Most of them have low cultivation and have only been disciples for a short time. The only ones left are servants and attendants.
Xima Mountain has many disciples, which may seem like a small number at first glance, but in reality, the opposite is true. Even among those who have strayed into the wrong path, only a few have truly inherited the legacy.
There is no other reason, disciples are just consumables.
Servants, attendants, and disciples are nothing more than consumables, possessing abundant Qi and blood, and varying degrees of spiritual strength. Servants and attendants can also learn techniques, focusing on lightening and strengthening the body, and performing the dirtiest and most tiring work. Refining the Ghost Banner, Ghost Sword, or Skull God, if backlash occurs and the bloodlust proves difficult to subdue, servants and attendants can take over.
Disciples who practice Taoism and strengthen their spirits and souls are most suitable to use their souls to make the main soul of the Yinhun Banner or Yinhun Sword when they are assassinated by their fellow disciples, or to repair the magic weapons of their elders in the sect when they are damaged in a fight.
As long as you don't do anything too obvious or excessive, don't get caught on the spot, and maintain superficial stability, you won't be punished.
Since it is a consumable, the reserve must be large.
Under these rules, if one wants to survive, they can only become poisonous insects and fight each other. Only those disciples with low merits and those who have just entered the sect and do not have the ability to harm others can survive.
Gong Mengbi killed people and caused blood to flow like a river. On the one hand, his ruthlessness made them afraid, but on the other hand, it also freed them from the hell of endless suffering.
Qiu Yun gathered these disciples together again to teach them, and even did not shy away from servants and attendants. According to Gong Mengbi's words, the evil teachings were abolished, listed as banned books, and put on the shelf.
He re-taught the Soul-Retaining Technique and the Body-Refining Technique, listed the method of summoning spirits as a necessary method of practice, and required all disciples, servants and attendants to remember the Yin Laws of the Yue Mansion.
When Gong Mengbi returned to the mountain, his disciples were all in the mountains enjoying the cool air and reciting their lessons.
Gong Mengbi walked in from the mountain path. When the disciples saw him, they all knelt down, calling him "Master" without daring to raise their heads.
After Gong Mengbi walked away, he wiped the sweat from his forehead and stood up.
There was nothing else happening in the mountains except for two disciples named Huang and Li who had passed through the Four Suffering Formations. Their Daoist hearts had been developed and their future was promising.
When Gong Mengbi heard the story of these two disciples breaking into the Four Suffering Formation twice, going down the mountain and up again, he couldn't help but marvel at it.
When you come down from the mountain and enter the mortal world, the Four Sufferings Array will show you all kinds of suffering in the world.
When you go up the mountain to practice Taoism, the Four Sufferings Array will show you all kinds of temptations in the world.
They are not afraid of worldly sufferings and are not susceptible to worldly temptations. It can be seen that these two guys are indeed promising talents.
