Chapter 500: Dare not say a word, the Lord of the Mansion makes a fire
Seeing that he understood her meaning, the goddess nodded and said, "It seems that even though I made you a demon, you haven't lost your mind."
Gong Mengbi said, "How dare we relax for even a moment? In Gusu, fire and water are raging. If I dare to underestimate them, I'm afraid I won't be able to return."
The goddess nodded and said, "Tell me, how are things going in Gusu?"
The details have actually been explained in the document, but what the goddess wants to hear is definitely his own thoughts, not the words on paper.
Gong Mengbi wrote things on paper objectively enough, without using the Spring and Autumn style based on his own likes and dislikes. He reported everything truthfully to avoid Yue Mansion making mistakes in judgment, which would be his fault.
As an elder, the goddess wanted to hear his thoughts, which was also a test to some extent.
Gong Mengbi hid nothing and told the Jade Fairy Goddess the key points of what he had experienced since he went to Taihu Lake.
Everything else was fine, the Jade Fairy Goddess remained silent until she talked about meeting the King of the South in the ghost fog of the underworld and helping him drive away the Lord of Bones. Only then did the Goddess show a look of surprise. Gong Mengbi did not write this in detail in the document.
Because in this section, it was no longer Jin Ting Daxian who was doing the work, but Gong Mengbi.
The Great Immortal Jin Ting only worked with King Tongyou and King Tongji to rescue the Ghost King of the Juliu tribe in the White Bone Demon City. As for what happened afterwards, that was done by Gong Mengbi and had nothing to do with the Great Immortal Jin Ting.
It may not be appropriate to write it down in a document to the Lord of Mount Tai, but it is fine to tell it orally to the goddess.
The goddess sighed and said, "Your auspicious nature has already matured. In terms of age, that skeleton is my predecessor. You are so lucky to have had a connection with him."
She paced a few steps and pondered, "Since you've experienced the state of leaving your body and escaping with his help, there must be a better way to help you eliminate the influence of that demon."
Gong Mengbi didn't understand, and the goddess didn't explain, but just said, "Go on."
Gong Mengbi continued to speak, and the goddess did not express her opinion, but just listened to him. Some of what he said was what she saw, and some was her own thoughts.
When he finished, the goddess said, "Mingfu, just focus on your work. The Five-Directional God is not that simple, and neither is that demon. There are many complexities involved. Once you lure her out, we'll have to work it out slowly."
Her words were gentle and satisfying.
It was she who bestowed upon Gong Mengbi this identity. Now Gong Mengbi made good use of this identity and did not act recklessly just because he became a demon by imperial decree. The goddess was naturally happy.
As he was speaking, he heard the bluebird singing outside the door.
Fairy Qingyao opened the door and invited Lord Taishan into the Jade Palace.
The Lord of Mount Tai looked at Gong Mengbi and said with a smile, "My lucky star is back."
Gong Mengbi felt ashamed and dared not accept it, mainly because he was afraid that the Lord would worry too much about him.
The Lord of Mount Tai was unconcerned and said, "The movements of the Ghost King of the Juliu tribe and his 100,000 ghost soldiers are now under the control of the Yue Mansion. Mingfu has made an invaluable contribution."
Gong Mengbi just smiled and didn't dare to say anything.
The Jade Fairy Goddess laughed and said, "Since Mingfu is quite capable, then the Lord of the Mansion will have to put in more effort today."
The Lord of Mount Tai readily agreed and said, "Please speak."
The Jade Fairy Goddess pointed at Gong Mengbi and said, "Mingfu has been infested with a Bewitching Spider Egg by that demon. To avoid alerting the demon while ensuring his safety, we need to ask the Lord of the Mansion to create a body for him."
The Lord of Mount Tai's heart skipped a beat. He looked at Gong Mengbi and saw that he was still a fifth-rank official. He then said, "He is not yet a fourth-rank official. I made him a body, but I am afraid he cannot surrender."
The Jade Fairy Goddess then told Gong Mengbi about the help he had received from the Southern King. The Taishan Lord looked at Gong Mengbi carefully again and slowly said, "Your merit has greatly improved, but you haven't yet grasped the wonders of spiritual differentiation. However, since you have experience, it's not a problem."
The Lord of the Mansion looked at the Jade Fairy Goddess again and said with a smile, "You are thinking about me. Can't you do it in another body?"
The goddess said, "I can do it."
The Lord of the Mansion sighed and said, "Forget it, I'll do it. Mingfu has devoted himself to the Yue Mansion, and I can't treat him unfairly."
The Lord of Mount Tai asked, "Do you have a furnace or tripod? Please lend me one."
The goddess instructed Fairy Qingyao, "Go get one from the storehouse."
Gong Mengbi said, "I have one here, I wonder if it would be useful?"
He took out a square tripod from his sleeve and placed it in front of him. The Lord of Mount Tai took a look and said, "Hey, this tripod is quite old."
The Jade Fairy Goddess sighed softly and said, "The Dragon Suppression Cauldron forged by the Tushan clan. I haven't seen such an old item in many years."
The Lord of Mount Tai said, "The Dragon Suppression Cauldron has the word 'Zhen' in it, which is exactly what it is used for."
The Lord immediately made a fire in the Jade Palace with a magic spell, threw the sacred mud of the Five Mountains into the cauldron, and washed it with the water of the Forgetful River. In just a moment, mist appeared in the Jade Palace.
The magical power of the Dragon Suppressing Cauldron is to use the opponent's force to counter attack. Gong Mengbi does not have the ability to light fire and refine the weapon because the Dragon Suppressing Cauldron will absorb his magic power and convert it into divine power to suppress the void.
But in the hands of the Lord of the Mansion, it became what a furnace should be, burning fire and refining weapons. The Dragon Suppression Cauldron also absorbed the Lord of the Mansion's mana and transformed it into a suppressive force, but this force was wielded by the Lord of the Mansion, becoming the hammer he used to refine the body within the furnace.
While burning fire to refine his outer body, the Lord of Mount Tai chatted with the Jade Fairy Goddess about the Yue Mansion.
The Jade Fairy Goddess said, "That demon's escape from the underworld is no coincidence, and the Five-Powered God's theft of Heaven's Mandate is certainly a foregone conclusion. I'm afraid there are also some great beasts lurking within the underworld causing trouble."
The Lord of the Mansion sighed and said, "Of course I don't know. The underworld is already investigating, but it's not as easy as I expected."
"The Five Divine Beings' theft of Heaven's Mandate should have been recorded in the Life Registry, easily identifying which Lord of Hell they had followed. However, when the Great Judges went to search, they could only find the root of the Life Registry, which only recorded their lifespans and Heaven's Mandate. The rest of the records, such as their fortunes, changes, residences, date of death, where they were buried, and who was in charge, were all missing."
"These people's birth dates were tampered with, and the things that should have been registered were lost for various reasons, and in the end, they couldn't be found."
"It's in the longevity register, but the person can't be found. How ridiculous! I've never seen such a scene since I became the Lord of Mount Tai. If there wasn't a great thief in the underworld, how could this situation have come about?"
The Lord of Mount Tai glanced at Gong Mengbi and said, "It's hard for Mingfu, but he has to break the impasse for me in the human world."
The Jade Fairy Goddess said, "Once this matter is settled, I will summon Mingfu back."
The Lord of Mount Tai was truly reluctant to part with the Yue Family and said, "The Yue Family is also a dignified and righteous family. If he wishes to pursue the path of immortality, I can lend him a helping hand. I really can't let him go."
The Jade Fairy Goddess said, "I'll give it to you. I'll wait another five hundred years."
The Lord of Mount Tai glanced at her and said, "Well, I'll do as you say."
As he spoke, the Dragon Suppressing Cauldron began to vibrate violently, and then a cloud of smoke suddenly gushed out, filling the room with five-colored spiritual light.
"It's done!" said the Lord of Mount Tai, clapping his hands.
