Chapter 387: Widespread Involvement, Method of Impeaching God
Gong Mengbi's heart skipped a beat. He looked at the Heart-Confusing Spider with a sense of dread. He said, "I actually let this thing land in my spiritual altar. If I make a mistake, I'm afraid I won't see the headmaster again."
Fairy Qingyao smiled and said, "Good people don't live long, but evil deeds last for thousands of years. You don't have to cry so hard."
Gong Mengbi was exposed by Fairy Qingyao, but he was not embarrassed or angry. He smiled and said, "Why did you cry so hard? It was because you risked your life and went into danger for the Yue Mansion. How come I am the one who caused the trouble?"
Fairy Qingyao said, "You don't harm your own people, but only harm others. This deserves first-class merit. I don't think you need to practice the Seven Stars of the Azure Dragon. Just invite the Death Star to enter your body and take a walk. It will be more effective than any other magical power."
Gong Mengbi said dissatisfiedly, "If anyone wants to invite someone, it should be the Southern Dipper Star Lord. Now that my auspicious nature has sprouted, I can be considered a lucky star."
The two of them started bickering, and it was the goddess who laughed first.
The goddess shook her head and said, "Alright, I do credit you for your contribution, but this matter has far-reaching implications, and I'm afraid you'll continue to be entangled in it."
"You avoided the Wuxiang Sect incident last time, and now you're involved in this spider demon incident again. I really hope that this auspicious talisman of yours will bring you good luck and turn misfortune into blessing."
Gong Mengbi looked at the goddess and said, "This is a matter concerning the Yue Mansion. I can't avoid it, and I can't avoid it. But if you need anything, just send me."
The goddess pointed at Gong Mengbi's head and said, "It's not me who sends you, it's the Lord of the Mansion. You have received the Taiyue Divine Talisman. How can you enjoy the benefits without doing anything?"
Gong Mengbi's face fell, and he asked, "Is it too late to return the Taiyue Divine Talisman to the Lord of the Mansion now?"
“It’s too late!”
Suddenly a gust of wind blew up in the Goddess Courtyard, and purple air appeared in the sky. A god taller than a mountain, with the sun and the moon on his shoulders, walked towards the courtyard. But when he got closer, he gradually became smaller and turned into a purple-robed god.
Gong Mengbi and Fairy Qingyao bowed and said, "Greetings, Lord."
The goddess also stood up to greet him and asked, "Why is the Lord here?"
The Lord of the Mansion laughed and said, "If I hadn't come, this little fox would have escaped."
The Lord of Mount Tai looked at Gong Mengbi and said to the goddess, "He submitted a document to the Yin-Yang Department, saying that he had seen the ghost concubine and ghosts of the Juliu tribe, and also encountered a demon who controlled the Heart-Confusing Spider. He wanted to request the Yue Mansion to make a decision. The chief judge handed me the letter, and I was about to summon him, but then I realized he was with you, so I came to discuss it with you."
The goddess invited the Lord to take a seat, looked at Gong Mengbi, and said with a smile: "The Lord is here, please beg him to spare you."
Gong Mengbi's face turned bitter, and he said, "My Lord, I am of low ability. If I get involved in a fight between top three rank cultivators, I'm afraid I'll die without even knowing how I died."
The Lord of Mount Tai shook his head, looked at the goddess, and said, "All your disciples have the same temperament as you."
The goddess laughed and said nothing.
The Lord of Mount Tai said, "Don't worry, I won't kill you."
Gong Mengbi had no choice but to step aside and stand with Fairy Qingyao.
Fairy Qingyao whispered, "You really are capable of causing trouble."
Gong Mengbi said aggrievedly: "What does this have to do with me? It's not like I let the spider spirit escape."
"Poor thing." Fairy Qingyao shook her head with pity.
Gong Mengbi said: "A kind word can warm you through the cold winter."
Fairy Qingyao laughed.
The Lord of the Mansion took the spider egg and examined it, saying, "It's her. She's escaped after so many years, and I don't know how long she's been gone. Even my chief judge doesn't recognize this thing, yet she's still at large."
The Jade Fairy Goddess said, "She should have passed away, but she is still alive today. It's normal that your judges don't recognize her."
The last time Gong Mengbi brought the head of Xima Mountain to the Guilty Soul Division's Liu Judge to open its skull and retrieve the pearl, neither Liu nor Wei, the Yin-Yang Division's Judge, recognized it. They had to search the Sutra Repository and ancient texts to find the true identity of this spider spirit. The name of this spider spirit was lost to the dust; it was an ancient demon.
The Lord of the Mansion said, "That's why it's so difficult. She's a top-three cultivator. If she wants to run or hide, no one can catch her. Now that we've discovered some clues, it's difficult for ordinary people to investigate, and if they're too strong, they'll alert the enemy. This is the territory of the Gusu City God, so the Yue Mansion can't send troops, and they're also involved in the human dragon dispute, which is really hindering them at every turn."
The goddess also sighed softly and looked at Gong Mengbi, "I'm afraid there is no other suitable candidate."
The Lord of the Mansion said, "He is in a calamity, how can he escape so easily?"
The two bosses looked at Gong Mengbi. Gong Mengbi felt like a heavy burden was pressing on his shoulders, making it difficult for him to walk.
He took two difficult steps and said, "Headmaster, Lord of the Mansion, what can a little fox like me do?"
The Lord of the Mansion said with a smile, "Why underestimate yourself? You are now a fifth-rank cultivator, a true master of omniscience. The spider spirit's spirit can't deceive you, nor can it harm you. Even if it were thrown into the human world, it would be a great demon. How can you be called a small fox, let alone a person with low magical power?"
Gong Mengbi declined, saying, "I am a mid-level Taoist, so I can protect myself, but I'm afraid that a high-level one will also be hard to escape."
The Lord of the Mansion had no choice but to say, "Don't be nervous. I've only entrusted you with the task of investigating the spider spirit. I won't ask you to subdue the demon. The Yue Mansion will cooperate with you throughout this period. However, if you need anything, simply display the divine talisman and you will be able to command the gods."
The Jade Fairy Goddess did not agree. Instead, she sighed softly and said, "Think it over carefully. If you don't want to, it's okay to refuse the Lord of the Mansion now."
The Lord of Mount Tai looked at the Jade Fairy Goddess with a bit of helplessness, but the Jade Fairy Goddess's expression remained unchanged, and she was obviously serious.
Gong Mengbi took a deep breath, and the wishing tree in the spirit platform continued to glow, foreshadowing the intersection of fate.
Maybe it’s a good fate, maybe it’s a bad fate.
Gong Mengbi pondered silently in his heart for a while, then said: "Your Majesty commands the Yue Mansion's divine soldiers to protect the merits of all directions. Although I am small and powerless, I am willing to practice this."
Lord Taishan heaved a barely perceptible sigh of relief.
Seeing his determination, the Jade Fairy Goddess felt both relieved and concerned. She said, "It's a good thing you have such determination, but please be sure to protect yourself. I don't want my most talented student to become a priest in Yue Mansion before he even does anything wrong in the Sky Fox Academy."
Gong Mengbi said, "Little Fox will remember this. I will always remember the headmaster's love and care."
The Lord of Mount Tai felt a slight headache and said, "What's wrong with being a priest in my Yue Mansion?"
The Lord of the Mansion shook his head, looked at the Goddess, and said, "Forget it, you are also in need of someone, I won't compete with you for someone."
"Gong Mingfu, you work for the Yue Mansion, so I can't treat you unfairly. You've cultivated the Seven Stars of the Azure Dragon. Which one have you reached so far?"
Gong Mengbi's eyes lit up and he said, "I am currently sensing the Tail Constellation and absorbing its energy."
The Lord of the Mansion pondered for a moment and said, "The Tail Star God can impeach all the gods without being impeached by them."
"I will now teach you the method of impeaching the gods. As for whether you can avoid being impeached by the gods, it depends on your own practice."
Gong Mengbi was moved.
Those who are impeached are guilty according to the law.
The duties of the gods in Yue Mansion can almost be summarized in two words: "Heshen".
Using this method to enter the Tail Star and unleash the evil of the Dragon's Tail, you can be said to be unlucky in everything you do.
Gong Mengbi said, "Thank you, Lord."
The Lord of Mount Tai smiled and said, "But I have to say this beforehand: the method of impeaching the gods is to uphold the laws of nature and punish the unjust. If you do not cultivate virtue, be careful that you will be impeached by the gods instead."
This was the Lord's advice, so Gong Mengbi had to take it to heart and said, "Little Fox, remember this."
The Lord of Mount Tai stretched out his hand and lightly tapped the Gong Meng Bi Ling Tai. A ball of flame-like spiritual light began to burn in the Gong Meng Bi Ling Tai. It was fixed by the Taiyue Divine Talisman and turned into a page of scriptures.
