Chapter 628: Please Go Out
The Lord of the Mansion nodded and said, "I have sent the Yue Mansion to investigate Madam Xiao and the Five Gods, but after so many years, there is still no news."
Envoy Zhang lowered his eyes and said, "There's no rush. The demons of the mortal world, the imperial gods, and the underworld city of ghosts are now entwined in a complex web that's difficult to unravel. I've received a decree from the Heavenly King. Once we capture the Mother Goddess Jizhituo, all clues will naturally be solved."
The Lord of the Mansion picked up the wine on the table and toasted to Zhang Yuanshi from afar, saying, "Thank you for your help."
Zhang Yuanshi drank it all in one gulp, looked at Gong Mengbi and said, "The document you submitted has been circulated to me by the Lord. Just do it and don't worry. We will take action at the right time."
He shook the whisk in his hand and chuckled, "With destiny in my hands, there are no taboos."
His slightly aged but still deep voice seemed to melt into the palace, and his figure also disappeared into thin air. Only a faint mist swirled up and eventually returned to nothingness.
Gong Mengbi clearly felt an invisible force falling on him from the tail of the whisk. For a moment, he felt his mind was clear and his energy was concentrated. The Nine-Tailed Method, the Sky-reaching Method and the Moon-Flying Method advanced in parallel. With the blessing of the Azure Dragon in the sky, he actually developed the courage to "reach the top of the world".
Gong Mengbi was a little surprised. He used all his eyesight, and with a gleam in his eyes, he saw that his whole body was shrouded in purple air like hanging clouds.
Gong Mengbi seemed to understand something and said, "Thank you, Envoy."
Envoy Zhang had already disappeared. Gong Mengbi turned to the Lord and said, "Thank you, Lord."
The Lord of the Mansion waved his hand and said, "Envoy Zhang is offering a gift to the Buddha through a flower borrowed from a flower. Heaven has favored him and he has gained the advantage of the Heavenly King. He can give you a word and he can also take it back. You must be aware of this."
Gong Mengbi understood the Lord's warning. While it was good to be favored by Heaven, it wasn't something one could earn, something that could be given and then taken back. It might be helpful for this trip, but how much use it would actually bring was hard to say.
Practitioners naturally respect destiny, but they are not afraid of it.
When one reaches the level of Zhang Yuanshi, or even the level of Jizhituo Shengmu, destiny can no longer be controlled.
Having a destiny is one thing, but there are countless examples of people who, despite that destiny, couldn't accomplish anything. Right before our eyes was the King of Wu's crown prince, equally blessed with destiny, yet still swindled to the point of losing his soul. If it weren't for Gong Mengbi's intervention, his entire destiny would have been consumed by the Jizhituo Mother.
King Tongfu practiced the Heavenly Scroll and was even more gifted by heaven. Which of those precious destinies was not favored by heaven?
Gong Mengbi said solemnly, "Little Fox understands."
Seeing that he understood, the Lord smiled and said, "You are a wise man. You hold destiny in your hands and will not let it down. Now you are truly a sign of good fortune, a lucky star in the world."
Gong Mengbi also laughed and said, "If nothing else, at least it will benefit my cultivation."
The Lord of the Mansion nodded and said, "Once this matter is settled and your destiny is fulfilled, you will be able to truly retain a portion of this divine favor. However, this is nothing. Although divine favor is good, it is nothing compared to the favor of the Empress."
This is true.
While the Heavenly King was in charge of this realm, Taishan Niangniang was the deity of the Heavenly Fox Court. Closeness and distance made a difference.
Gong Mengbi pretended to refuse and said, "Your Majesty's grace is as deep as the ocean. I am fortunate to be able to carry forward this teaching. Your Majesty is so kind and willing to show your kindness to me. I really feel..."
Before he could finish his words, the scenery before his eyes immediately distorted and turned into endless smoke, and everything was immersed in the surging smoke.
In a moment, the smoke and clouds dissipated, and Gong Mengbi had returned to the human world.
Before Gong Mengbi could finish his words, he was "invited" out by the Lord of the Mansion.
He stretched out his right hand and rubbed his nose with the back of his index finger, as if brushing away the non-existent dust.
"Tsk." Gong Mengbi cupped his hands and said loudly, "Your Majesty is so kind."
The Lord probably didn't want to listen to the fox's chatter and showed no sign of replying.
Gong Mengbi was not upset, but just lowered his narrow eyes, revealing a thoughtful gleam in the gaps between his eyes.
The Lord of the Mansion showed him great favor and recommended him to Zhang Yuanshi. Zhang Yuanshi also accepted him, treating him as an informant under the Lord of the Mansion. Gong Mengbi was not employed in the Yue Mansion or the Exorcism Institute, so he could not understand the intricacies of the situation.
But one thing is certain, he was chosen as the initiator, and Envoy Zhang and the Lord of the Mansion will keep an eye on his actions at any time.
Gong Mengbi looked up in the direction of the mountain above and laughed strangely: "Then let's get started. The Lord has waited long enough, and so have I."
Six long tails like smoke emerged behind Gong Mengbi, dragging out from under the bright moon, like flowing clouds and waterfalls, almost encompassing the Ruyun Peak.
Four foxes named Shi, Hua, Jiu, Shi and Cha, came out of the Chuyun Cave and looked up at the lonely Gong Mengbi on the top of the peak, their eyes full of admiration.
When one reaches the fourth level of spiritual practice, one is able to comprehend the wonders of spiritual transformation, to transform invisible and intangible things, and even to create a false body, with a body outside of the body.
But generally speaking, if there is not enough magical power and Taoism to support it, having another body is not as good as one's own body.
Coincidentally, Gong Mengbi had learned a wide range of knowledge, including quite a few exquisite magical techniques. However, he had just entered the fourth rank and did not have such a huge amount of magic power to support him.
But this was not a problem. He closed his eyes, opened his spiritual altar, and what he saw was the precious tree that had grown very tall.
The branches and leaves of the treasure tree are lush, and there are countless treasure certificates hanging on it, densely packed, like swaying flower stamens.
The most valuable ones among them are undoubtedly the treasure certificates of the Lord of the Mansion, the Goddess and others, but in addition to them, the Five Gods also hung five fourth-grade treasure certificates for him.
It can be seen that the Immortal Jinting does have a deep good relationship with them. However, the Holy Mother Jizhituo, although she treats him as the eldest son, is actually not allowed to hang the treasure certificate. She is regarded as an evil fate by the treasure tree, and they are just waiting to cut off the evil fate so that she can use it as fertilizer to promote the growth of the treasure tree.
Gong Mengbi prayed silently, and those precious certificates lit up with light, raising a vast wind that flowed to Gong Mengbi. Through the enlightenment of the Tongtian method, the blessing of heaven, and the favor of the bright moon, they turned into gurgling magic power, which quickly merged with his own magic power.
The six long tails behind him swayed gently, and one of the tails suddenly curled up, and a young man in red walked out from it. Water vapor condensed around his body, and dragon energy lingered around him. If it weren't for the dragon horns, he would really look like a red dragon.
The young man rode on clouds and mist, and headed straight for Gusu.
Another tail retracted and transformed into another young man in red. He was swept by the wind, holding a treasure bottle. He rolled up his body and merged into the wind, disappearing.
Gong Mengbi only has four tails left, and one of them is empty. It is just for show and has no magical powers or Taoism to occupy it, but it is enough to deal with the current situation.
