Chapter 670 Dangerous Person
The real mastermind only appeared twice in Taihu Water Palace. The first time he appeared, he forced the Taihu Dragon God to flee, and the second time he appeared, he captured the Taihu Dragon God and brought him to justice.
From Tiechen's perspective, it was impossible to explore the true whole story, but he did feel that Gong Mengbi was far superior to others in terms of status and magical powers.
He had only experienced this feeling from the Great Immortal Jin Ting.
But even the Immortal Jin Ting was unable to force Lao Long to this point, but Gong Mengbi seemed to have done it easily. Therefore, in Tie Chen's eyes, Master Gong was even more terrifying than the Immortal Jin Ting.
After all, Jin Ting Daxian is his master, and the man in front of him is the deadly Shangguan.
Following Gong Mengbi to the Water Palace Temple, Tie Chen saw him sitting on the throne. He asked fearfully, "Marshal Gong, why did you summon Xiaolong here?"
Gong Mengbi looked at him carefully and was actually satisfied.
This little dragon is a disciple of the great immortal Jin Ting. Compared with other real dragons, he is a bit more cunning like a fox. When dealing with the old dragon of Taihu Lake, he wants to be very careful.
However, Gong Mengbi had no intention of accepting this disciple. On the surface, Jin Ting Daxian had been detained and should be serving his sentence in Mount Tai, rather than running to Taihu to recognize his relatives. Hiding the identity of Jin Ting Daxian was a protection for Gong Mengbi, and Gong Mengbi would not take the initiative to expose it.
The more Gong Mengbi looked at him, the more frightened Tiechen became.
Seeing him being so cautious, Gong Mengbi felt like teasing him, so he praised him, saying, "It's rare that you can still have such courage and wisdom under the challenge of the Taihu Old Dragon. You haven't lost face for your master."
Tiechen was already on edge, ready to respond carefully, but when he heard the word "Master", his heart trembled. He looked at Gong Mengbi, wondering if he was lying to him.
But Gong Mengbi had an open and honest expression and a gentle demeanor. With his looks and supernatural powers, it was difficult for others to feel any resentment when he showed a little kindness.
Tiechen didn't know that his guard had been weakened. He just thought to himself that a man like Gong Mengbi was even called the commander-in-chief by the Yangtze River Dragon Girl, so why would he deceive a little dragon like him?
So he hesitated and asked, "Do you know my master?"
Gong Mengbi laughed and said, "Do you know where I come from?"
Tiechen naturally didn't know.
Gong Mengbi then said, "I am a fox immortal under the command of the Taishan Goddess, cultivating in the Heavenly Fox Court. Your master, the white fox, has attained enlightenment and is also under the jurisdiction of the Heavenly Fox Court. What's so strange about me recognizing your master?"
Tie Chen breathed a sigh of relief and said, "So you're an old friend of Master's. Please forgive me for my rudeness."
Gong Mengbi waved his hand and said with a smile, "No need to be so polite. I didn't know you long ago. Otherwise, when they arrested your master, they should have taken you back with them, so that your master wouldn't be alone when he was tortured."
Tiechen felt as if his heart had sunk into an ice cellar, and his face suddenly froze. He felt that the fox fairy in front of him had become extremely hideous, as if it was a man-eating monster, looking at him, the fat meat on the chopping board.
"Senior...Senior, you are joking. My master is an immortal. Why would he be convicted?" Tie Chen retorted tremblingly.
Gong Mengbi looked at him with his narrow eyes and said, "Your master colluded with the Five Gods, aiding and abetting the evildoers and killing innocent people. Don't you know this?"
Tie Chen almost jumped up and said, "My master is aloof and arrogant. How could he do such a thing? I'm afraid he was framed or coerced!"
Gong Mengbi raised his eyebrows and looked down at Tiechen, who was sweating profusely. But he suddenly laughed and said, "Alright, it's rare for you to be so filial. I won't tease you anymore. Your master did commit a crime, but it's not a big deal. Now he is punished to repair the imperial road in Mount Tai. He can come out after it's repaired."
"Although he and I are not of the same spiritual descent, I do admire your master. Knowing that I was coming to Taihu, your master was worried that you would slack off in your cultivation, so he asked me to urge you on."
"I will stay in Taihu Lake until the Dragon Girl returns. You can ask me if you have any questions about your cultivation."
Such a big turn of events made Tiechen's heart fluctuate and he felt almost exhausted. He reluctantly thanked Gong Mengbi and fled from the temple.
From then on, Gong Mengbi became the most dangerous person in his mind, even more dangerous than his master's dragon whip.
The three thousand year old man was afraid that his old bones would be broken by the black dragon, so he hid himself. There was such a dangerous person in charge of Taihu Water Palace. Tie Chen had no one to discuss with, and he was so anxious that he couldn't sleep all night.
The more sleepless the nights, the more he thought about the torment and humiliation of the past few years, the more he thought about the brief happiness in Shenjing Palace, and the more he thought about his half-brother whom he had not yet recognized.
After a night of torment, Tiechen finally gave up and ran to ask Gong Mengbi for advice with tired eyes.
The more dangerous it is, the closer you have to him, the more you have to observe him and get rid of your fear of him. Tiechen has actually been doing this for many years. His last target was Taihu Laolong and his current target is Gong Mengbi.
Gong Mengbi was even more pleased with him, so he didn't hesitate to give him advice. He knew more about dragons than many dragons themselves, and was proficient in the magical power of controlling wind and rain. With the Taihu God in his hands, he understood the mysteries of the operation of the divine way.
Therefore, he could always hit the nail on the head, which benefited Tiechen greatly.
Tiechen didn't see through him, but after verification, he found that everything was indeed wrong. He could only be skeptical and regard him as a friend of the Great Immortal Jin Ting. He believed what he said and that he was entrusted by the Great Immortal Jin Ting to guide his practice.
Tiechen came to Gong Mengbi with questions and left with even deeper questions.
Seeing that the cheap disciple of the Immortal Jin Ting was on the right track in his cultivation, Gong Mengbi soothed his conscience, and his spirit left his body and went to Gusu.
Clouds and mists swirled over Gusu, giving it a sense of auspiciousness. However, within that auspicious aura, there was only a weak and sick dragon.
Gong Mengbi took a look from afar, shook his head slightly, went out of the Changmen Gate, and arrived in front of the Fuji Temple.
Someone knocked on the gate of Fuji Temple, and the one who came out to open the door was Huaiyi, a young Taoist priest who was peeking around and watching carefully.
Huaiyi showed half of his face from the crack in the door and said, "Follower, we haven't seen any visitors these days, please go back."
Gong Mengbi laughed and said, "Go tell Master Liu that the old friend who guarded the mountain has arrived."
Huaiyi's face changed and he said, "My master has passed away, stop talking nonsense!" As he said that, he was about to close the door and refuse Gong Mengbi entry.
Gong Mengbi was not annoyed, but simply said, "Huaiyi, tell your master to come and open the door for me."
Huaiyi ran back to the temple worriedly. Master Liu was basking in the sun in the yard. Seeing him rushing over, he conveyed Gong Mengbi's words in a few words.
Master Liu smiled and said, "It's an old friend. Go and invite him in."
