Chapter 664 How Can I Owe Wages?
Monk Pobi was a dull person, but very reasonable. He was not as stubborn as the old monk, but he was also too embarrassed to speak.
Gong Mengbi didn't care and simply ignored the old monk. Jin Ting Daxian was injured by the old monk. Although they were no longer acquainted, the old monk still had a prejudice in his heart.
Gong Mengbi looked at Master Pobi and asked, "Master, are you feeling better?"
Master Pobi's arm was wrapped in white cloth and immobilized. He still had no strength, but he was much better than a few days ago. The magical power left by the Five-Power God had long been removed, and with the elixir of intermittent regeneration, he was no longer in danger.
Master Pobi's injury was not serious. With his level of Taoism, even if his arm could not be saved, it would not affect his Taoism. So Gong Mengbi was actually asking the old monk.
Master Pobi didn't realize the fox was worried, but he still replied, "It's fine now. All that's left is to rest. I'm fine, but I'm afraid my uncle will need to recuperate for a longer time."
Gong Mengbi then looked at Monk Zhanmin. Before he could ask, the old monk said, "I'm fine, don't worry."
Gong Mengbi smiled and ignored him, knowing that he wouldn't die. However, Master Pobi noticed something was amiss and interrupted, saying, "We'll take our leave now."
Gong Mengbi watched them go away. He could still vaguely hear Master Pobi talking to the old monk. He asked him, "Donor Gong is a legitimate fox spirit, not a demon. Why is Master Uncle speaking so coldly?"
Then the old monk said, "I am used to speaking coldly."
If I listen again, I can no longer hear it.
Gong Mengbi laughed. The old monk treated him badly, but he wasn't a bad person. It was just that he had a preconceived notion, so it was hard to convince himself otherwise.
Gong Mengbi didn't have any extra thoughts to think about this. He sorted out the formation of Xuanyuan Cave, sorted out the spiritual power of the mountain, sealed the cave, and returned to Wuhuan Peak.
Little foxes often came to clean Shouyue Tower, but Gong Mengbi did not disturb them when he came back. Instead, he meditated on the top floor.
At night, five ghost gods came to report.
He hadn't been back to Wuning County for a long time. Even when he came back, he was always in a hurry and couldn't stop. He missed many stories of the little foxes growing up and the lives of many old friends.
The five ghost gods were his retainers. They could sense his return as soon as he came, so they came to see him under the cover of night.
The Five Ghost Gods are transformed from the five elements of ghosts. They fly invisible and are here to pay their respects in front of Shouyue Tower.
Gong Mengbi asked them to come in and looked at them carefully. He found that they had more pure energy and did not act recklessly just because their lord was away. They had made progress in Taoism and had not slacked off in their practice. He was very satisfied.
The five ghost gods were extremely happy to see Gong Mengbi. They were fully attached to their lord, so they were naturally delighted to see Gong Mengbi return safely.
Others only thought that Gong Mengbi was practicing in seclusion in Tianhu Academy, but they had some connection with Gong Mengbi, and Gong Mengbi did not deliberately conceal it, so they vaguely knew that Gong Mengbi was doing something very dangerous.
The reason I didn't bring them is simply because I couldn't use them or they were useless.
The former was fine; staying in Wuning to manage the family business was one of the options for a retainer, but the latter was shameful. A retainer who couldn't share the burden was incompetent.
Gong Mengbi knew what they were thinking and said soothingly, "The Sky Fox Court has entrusted you with an important task, but I never told you about it. I'm sorry to have caused you so much worry."
"I dare not. We are ashamed of our inability to share our Lord's worries."
Gong Mengbi laughed and said, "Why don't you share my worries? It's true that I perform my duties outside, but Fox Court is my foundation, and Wuning County is my base. Could it be that you have been slacking off?"
The five ghost gods naturally did not slack off, so you can hold your head high and report back one by one.
Gong Mengbi is not in Wu Ning, and Fox Court has lost its dean. The important task falls on Kang Wen and the Five Ghosts.
Kang Wen, with the help of a few classmates, relies on the Five Ghosts to keep him company. They have to protect Fox Hill from outsiders, keep in constant contact with Chuyun Peak, and control the foxes to prevent them from becoming untamed and becoming dangerous after learning new skills. They also have to look after the Shen family and help them gain access to the ghosts and gods.
Each and every task requires manpower to complete, and the Five Ghosts and Gods rely on their swift flying speed, otherwise they would be unable to split themselves into two.
As he listened to their stories, Gong Mengbi's expression softened. He praised them, "Well done! Actually, I haven't been back for a long time, and I still owe you your salaries."
This made the five ghosts and gods feel embarrassed. Of course, they were thinking about their salaries. Without salaries, if they only relied on collecting the spiritual energy of heaven and earth to practice, it would take a long time before they could make any progress.
But since the master hadn't mentioned it, they felt embarrassed to ask for it. Gong Mengbi's own words actually relieved them, and they kept saying, "Such a trivial matter is not worth the master's concern."
Gong Mengbi shook his head and said, "I can't even mistreat outsiders, so I can't mistreat you, since you're my own people. How can I owe you wages and let you work for nothing?"
He took out a small shrine and opened the seal of heaven, earth, wind, water and fire, allowing the incense refined by the heart fire and the moon's nether fire to leak out, turning the entire quiet room into a foggy illusion.
The five ghost gods trembled with excitement, but they were still reserved and did not start taking the medicine immediately.
Gong Mengbi's voice came from the mist, saying, "Here are 100,000 incense sticks, which will be your salary. The extra will be my compensation."
"Practice well, I will help you. If you can achieve something, perhaps there will be a good fortune for you."
The five ghost gods received the order and answered loudly. Then they transformed into ghost and god images, filling the small quiet room. They opened their mouths and inhaled, and the diffused incense entered their mouths and merged into their magic power.
Gong Mengbi took out the small golden incense burner, lit the incense, and offered it in front of the shrine of the Goddess of Mount Tai.
He first prayed silently in front of the Goddess of Mount Tai, reiterating the affiliation and origin of the Five Ghost Gods, and then practiced the Five Ghosts Method to help these five ghosts practice.
At this time, when practicing the Five Ghosts Method again, I felt that many of the key points were unlocked and cleared. Because the Five Ghosts are both ghosts and gods, the Five Ghosts Method can drive ghosts and gods, which is also a kind of magic of immortals and gods.
Gong Mengbi made a new discovery, which gave him the opportunity to experiment. He reorganized and operated the secrets taught by the goddess in his hands, and reflected them on the five ghosts and gods, which created endless fun.
One hundred thousand sticks of incense are more than enough for the five ghost gods to eat even if they die of fullness.
Finally, Gong Mengbi refined it into five jade eggs, which flickered in the quiet room, giving birth to a new look.
Gong Mengbi closed the seal of the shrine and did not take it away. He stayed in the quiet room and began to sort out his second draft.
When practicing on the five ghosts and gods, some inspiration came to me, and when it was put on paper, it became more full.
