Chapter 61: Night Talk at Fox Hill
Gong Mengbi is making a straw man.
He continued working and asked, "Why are you here?"
The Sparrow Fairy said, "I came to see you. You've been back for several days, but you haven't come to play with me."
Gong Mengbi laughed and said, "I'm busy. I need to practice and build the Fox Courtyard."
The Sparrow Fairy said worriedly, "You said I used to be alone in Bamboo Ridge, listening to the waves in the bamboo sea and flying among the clouds, and I didn't feel lonely. Why do I feel lonely now?"
Gong Mengbi put down the sedge in his hand and looked at Wen Xiu with some surprise.
The bird fairy landed in front of Gong Mengbi, transformed into a child, and waved sedge in his hand: "I am not the same as before."
Gong Mengbi said: "Maybe it's because I made friends?"
Quexian tilted her head to look at him and said happily, "That might be the case."
Gong Mengbi asked: "Do you think it's good or bad?"
Quexian said: "It should be good. I didn't have this feeling before, and it's very novel now."
Gong Mengbi said: "Wen Xiu, you are about to enter the rank."
"Eh?" Quexian looked at Gong Mengbi in confusion.
"The more you feel, the more you grow." Gong Mengbi laughed, ruffled his hair, and said, "Playing is one thing, but cultivation cannot be neglected."
The Sparrow Fairy said, "I know. I practice cultivation every day. Why do you want to make a straw man?"
Gong Mengbi picked up the sedge and continued, "Last time, I used straw men as the form for the Yue Mansion's magic weapons, and I used up all my savings over the years, so I have to save up some more straw men."
"And maybe it will be useful tonight."
Quexian was puzzled: "Tonight?"
Gong Mengbi said, "Yes, I have summoned all the foxes in Wuning County to meet tonight. I'm afraid there will be a big fight."
The bird fairy became excited: "Take me with you!"
Gong Mengbi shook his head: "This is the fox's business, don't go."
"Okay." Quexian was a little disappointed.
Gong Mengbi said, "If you have time, go to Meirenling and play for a while. Miss Jiaying is now possessed by the yellow-bellied tit, and she must be bored to death during the day."
Quexian's eyes lit up and she said, "Then I'll go find her now."
Wen Xiu spread his arms, which turned into a pair of wings, and then he turned into a bird and flew away.
Gong Mengbi watched his colorful feathers disappear into the sky, smiled and shook his head, still weaving the straw man slowly.
Each piece of sedge must be refined with magical power and finally blessed with spells before it can be used as a basis for casting spells.
It was not until the night deepened that his mind, which had been calmed by weaving sedge, slowly began to surge.
Walking on the wind, wind and fire intertwined into a feathered robe, protecting him inside, and then he fled to Fox Hill like a meteor.
Fox Hill is on the outskirts of the county.
The ancient trees are deep and the wild mountains are hidden, with no human habitation.
Because foxes and other wild animals often appear there, it is called Fox Hill.
At this moment, a red light descended from the sky, like a falling star, and landed in Fox Hill.
The red light dissipated, revealing Gong Mengbi in red clothes and black boots.
The Five Ghost Gods, Xiao Qi and Kang Wen were already waiting at Fox Hill.
When he saw the falling star, he knew that Gong Mengbi had arrived, and he hurried up to pay his respects.
Kang Wen reported: "Fox Club, the Dharma platform has been built."
During the day, Gong Mengbi ordered them to build a Dharma platform here.
The Five Ghost Gods built a stone foundation and cut wood for a platform. Fox Heart Xiao Qi and Kang Wen offered fragrant flowers, herbs and fruits as sacrifices to the tablets of the Goddess of Mount Tai and the Jade Fairy Goddess.
Gong Mengbi glanced at the completed altar and said, "Thank you for your hard work."
The five ghost gods said, "Master, a fox has arrived and is hiding in the forest."
Gong Mengbi nodded and said, "Okay, I understand."
"ignition."
Kang Wen lit the bonfire built around the altar, illuminating Fox Hill.
Gong Mengbi took out a small golden furnace, and the fire in his heart fell into the furnace, and smoke began to rise.
Gong Mengbi stretched out his hand and the smoke turned into the shape of a fox, circling in the air.
This is like a flag, guiding the fox demon in the right direction.
He bowed to the shrines of the Taishan Goddess and the Jade Fairy Goddess and said, "I, the Wuning County Fox Association Palace Mengbi, now follow the laws of the Heavenly Fox Court and gather all the foxes to establish rituals to show respect and establish punishments to demonstrate authority. I invite the Goddess and the Goddess to bear witness."
The spirit of the Goddess of Mount Tai descended, and the goddess's gaze also lowered, and Gong Mengbi felt it in his heart.
The light from the bonfire danced on Gong Mengbi's body. His red tail, red robe, and beautiful face were shrouded in bright light, with an indescribable majesty and holiness that awe-inspired people.
The five ghost gods stood behind the altar, almost turning into five vague shadows.
Kang Wen and Hu Xin Xiao Qi stood on either side of the altar, silent.
Invisible pressure is spreading across the quiet Fox Hill.
Gradually, one, two, then three foxes came out of the dark woods.
Originally, he had transformed into a charming and passionate woman and a romantic and dissolute man, but when he walked into the firelight and saw Gong Mengbi's appearance, the clumsy illusion disappeared. He transformed into a fox again, walked to the altar tremblingly, and crawled on the ground.
Gong Mengbi said nothing and looked into the distance.
As midnight approached, foxes came up Fox Hill one by one and gathered in front of the altar.
In the darkness, shadows appeared and pairs of eyes emitting faint light flickered in the forest, slowly walking to the front of the altar.
More and more foxes gathered, but because they were afraid, they dared not move. Instead, they felt a growing silent pressure.
Kang Yunu was one of those foxes. She arrived early, already before the altar. On either side of the altar were her sisters and an acquaintance. Although she wanted to get information, such an environment was clearly not suitable for intimacy.
The superior on the judge's platform was so powerful that it almost frightened the fox.
The foxes in front of the altar were either lying or sitting, crawling or curled up, waiting for Gong Mengbi's orders.
"What time is it?" Gong Mengbi asked.
"It's already midnight." Kang Wendao replied.
Gong Mengbi looked at the foxes in the arena and said, "I am Gong Mengbi, the new head of the Fox Association of Wuning County, Tianhuyuan."
"I know you might be saying you've never heard of the Fox Society before. Maybe you've even never heard of the Heavenly Fox Academy."
"It's okay, I'll tell you what I'm saying."
"You all know that the Queen Mother of Mount Tai is in charge of all fox affairs. The Heavenly Fox Court is where the Queen Mother helps manage all the foxes in the world. The head of the Heavenly Fox Court is the Jade Fairy."
"Humans are different species, and foxes are in between. The living and the dead have different paths, and foxes are in between. Immortals and demons have different paths, and foxes are in between. Although we are not born with supernatural powers, we are the most spiritual among all races and species."
"If you seek the highest, you can seek immortality and the Way; if you seek the middle, you can mingle in the temple and the underworld; if you reach the lowest, you will become a fox ghost or a dark spirit. But you all know that the immortal path is difficult to achieve, the human path is difficult to follow, and the ghost path... is extremely difficult. Without opportunity, throughout our lives, we can only practice some magic and barely survive."
