Chapter 666 Return to Gusu
Gong Mengbi opened the small golden furnace and stuffed the sun bead into it as if it were charcoal.
This place used to be where the sword embryo was hidden, but since the Canglong Youguang Sword was cultivated, it has been vacant.
The small golden furnace was originally a sacred furnace used by Gong Mengbi for sacrifices. It was soaked in the fragrance of various gods and had always been a magical object used by Gong Mengbi to communicate with gods. It was a good object for refining sword embryos and was also effective for refining sun beads.
Gong Mengbi had coveted the Sun Pearl for a long time, but this item was too hot to handle. Therefore, even after defeating the Five Gods and confiscating the Sun Pearl, Gong Mengbi chose not to keep it for himself.
Firstly, Rizhu and King Tongji's lives are intertwined, and one does not know whether there is any information that needs to be investigated. If he misses any important information due to greed and lets the mastermind escape, he will lose more than he gains.
Secondly, the extraordinary nature of this Sun Bead is obvious to all, and it is very likely that it is closely related to the person behind Wutong. If he secretly keeps this thing, if someone hits his head behind him, he will have nowhere to complain.
Now that it has passed through the hands of the public and is back in the hands of Gong Mengbi, the safety of the Rizhu is guaranteed.
The goddess saw it once in front of the Lord's eyes. If there is still some hidden trick, then the mastermind behind it must be a super-level celestial being. If that is the case, Gong Mengbi can only admit defeat.
If it didn't have the ability of a super-class celestial being, after passing through the eyes of the goddess and then through the hands of the Lord of the Mansion to the hands of Gong Mengbi, this item would have openly belonged to Gong Mengbi.
Just this one Sun Pearl, plus the Goddess's personal guidance, meant that all the hard work of the past few years hadn't been in vain, and even far surpassed the achievements of Gong Mengbi. Fortunately, Gong Mengbi was restrained enough when he went to Xun Jijiu to ask for a reward, otherwise he would have been scolded by the Goddess as a greedy little bastard.
Putting the small golden stove in his sleeve, Gong Mengbi walked out of Shouyue Tower, but did not go to Fox Hill.
It's not that I don't miss it, or that I don't want to go, but I have unfinished business, and can only come and go in a hurry, causing nothing but sorrow. It would be better to pack up and come back to live a comfortable life.
However, the sudden disappearance of the Five Ghost Gods must have alarmed the foxes. However, Gong Mengbi counted on his fingers and calculated that it was the spring recruitment time now. By the time they had time to come looking for them, the Five Ghost Gods would have appeared.
It’s a pity that I haven’t learned the Five Wheels Method in its entirety, otherwise using the Five Wheels Method to worship the Five Ghosts and Gods would be a perfect match.
Returning to Gusu, we have a different perspective.
Gong Mengbi changed his form and transformed into a young man in red clothes, walking slowly in the streets.
Walking through the Prince of Wu's mansion, one could sense a certain joy. The Crown Prince had practically returned from the dead, and everyone in the mansion was overjoyed. Today, the Prince of Wu was hosting a banquet for his ministers, and I heard he had two important announcements to make.
The first thing is naturally related to the prince. Only after losing it and getting it back did he know how to cherish it, so naturally he wanted to show his love to everyone.
No one said the second thing explicitly, but just by looking at the officials hurrying around and the soldiers clearing the area, one could tell it was a big deal.
When Gong Mengbi looked up at the King of Wu's destiny again, he saw that the destiny was burning hot like a raging fire, and there seemed to be a faint trace of something emerging.
"How long can the raging fire and oil last?" Gong Mengbi shook his head, avoided the passing officers and soldiers, and turned to the City God Temple.
The gate of the City God Temple was tightly closed, and one could vaguely see that half of the main hall had collapsed. It no longer had the solemn atmosphere of the past, but instead exuded a gloomy and eerie atmosphere.
The more magnificent and solemn it was, the more decadent and eerie it became after the death of its divinity. The painted evil-repelling objects seemed to come alive, emitting a menacing, murderous glow.
Passersby shuddered and could only hear people whispering, "This City God Temple collapsed just like that. It's been repaired for several days and still hasn't been repaired."
"I heard it can't be repaired," someone said mysteriously, "Several temple officials fell ill. The government sent people to repair it, and they all fell ill the next day."
"We asked a local wizard to come and see, but he was so frightened that he fainted on the spot."
"I heard... I heard that the City God died."
"Don't talk nonsense!" After hearing such horrifying news, the passerby shuddered and immediately walked away.
Gong Mengbi looked at the City God Temple. All the halls in the temple were empty, and the divine realm built in the gap between yin and yang in the City God Temple was also dilapidated and empty.
It was so clean and empty, with only some wandering souls that had drifted in recently wandering around. They must be the people that the City God of the world had come to capture. If the monkeys scatter when the tree falls, they will not clear out places like ghost prisons and ghost jails so cleanly.
Returning to the Wutong Temple, several sorcerers and shamans were forcing smiles and greeting people, but the deity was gone. Gong Mengbi speculated that it was most likely captured by the Yue family.
It would be fine if it were a rampant god from other places, but the rampant god from the Wutong Temple in Gusu knew too many things, and it was unlikely that the Yue Mansion would let him go.
Gong Mengbi was satisfied, even gloating. The Immortal Jin Ting had accumulated a lot of resentment, and now a lot of it was gone.
He transformed into a long wind, soaring into the sky, and descended again, already above Taihu Lake. He followed the waterway straight into the Water Palace, but was stopped outside the gate.
Gong Mengbi asked, "Are His Highness Hanzhang and the Yangtze River Dragon Girl still in the Water Palace?"
Hearing these two names, the commander guarding the gate immediately realized the seriousness of the matter and said, "The dragon son and daughter are here. May I ask the distinguished guest's name? I will send someone to report it right away."
After a while, Hanzhang and Xiagu came to greet them.
When she saw Gong Mengbi, Xia Gu let out a soft "eh" and looked at him several times in a row, feeling indescribable weirdness.
Gong Mengbi laughed and said, "What? Don't you recognize me?"
As he spoke, he began to practice the bead refining method and mobilized the energy of the blue dragon. In an instant, his appearance clearly did not change at all, but he seemed like a different person.
Xia Gu smiled and said, "I recognize him, I recognize him. The commander has been gone for many days, but did he bring any good news?"
Gong Mengbi restrained his breath and said, "I brought back the Taihu Old Dragon. Is that good news?"
Xia Gu smiled happily and said, "How can this not be good news? We are just waiting for your report."
Han Zhang pushed her aside and said, "If you miss home, you can go back first. You don't have to take me with you."
Aunt Xia stamped her feet and said, "Uncle!"
Han Zhang looked at Gong Mengbi and breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that he had returned safely. "I'm glad you're back safely. Judging from your appearance, you've accomplished everything, haven't you?"
Gong Mengbi said: "After going through so much hardship, it's half done."
Han Zhang listened attentively. Gong Mengbi had not dared to say it before, but now that the Holy Mother Jizhituo was dead, he naturally had no scruples.
They told him about the thrilling journey, which made them tremble with fear. They never expected that so many things happened in a place they had not seen.
Gong Mengbi picked out some things that could be said and vaguely skipped over some things that were inconvenient to talk about.
Even so, the courage and means of inviting fellow Taoists with the fourth-grade Taoism, fighting with five kinds of magic, and finally winning made them amazed.
