Chapter 725 Rainy Period
The thick and humid water vapor turned into mist, suspended in Fox Hill.
The sky gradually darkened and the pine trees became brighter.
Mr. Beilai summoned Fox in front of the altar, and she placed Mingfu Fox Book on the table. She reached out and fished out thick white smoke from the fox book, and in the white smoke were running and changing ink marks.
The swirling smoke gradually floated steadily, and the ink marks returned to their places, turning into fox characters.
In the light of the brazier and pine torches, the white smoke showed golden color, and even the fox pattern was golden.
Mr. Beilai said, "Concentrate your mind and get ready to begin."
Among the foxes, there was another fox book.
This fox book is much thicker than the one in the hands of the Immortal Beilai.
The fox book in the hands of the Immortal Beilai is the original version of Mingfu's fox book, while the fox books in the hands of the fox children are the versions handed down from the Kangwen era. It has been passed down through generations of fox children, recording many secrets of cultivation handed down at that time, and occasionally also some jargon among the fox children.
Today, after continuous additions, it is already twice as thick as the original Fox Book.
This fox book is in the library and can be borrowed, but not owned exclusively.
Each fox has its own practice notes, and if you are greedy, you can copy down all the fox books.
At the back of the fox, Erqiu and Sanqiu turned into human forms, with only one tail still wagging.
They used their tails to dip in ink and write and draw on the book, asking as they wrote: "Is this paragraph still about fire-bending magic?"
Daqiu nodded and asked, "You guys learned fox language very quickly."
Erqiu and Sanqiu looked at Daqiu. Under the light of the fire, the purple-black eyes of these two people revealed a kind of resentment.
Da Qiu sighed and said, "There's nothing we can do. To prevent the fox book from spreading to the human world, it's forbidden to write it in human language."
Erqiu and Sanqiu slumped their shoulders, resting their heads on Daqiu's shoulders, one on each side, and cried, "I'm so tired."
Foxes learn fox language very quickly and can easily understand the meaning of each fox word. However, Erqiu and Sanqiu are not foxes, so it is more difficult for them to learn.
Torches and bonfires illuminated the altar on Fox Hill, but even the light melted away in the thick fog.
Gan Rou looked around and boldly asked, "Mr. Beilai, is the Master not here today?"
The Immortal Beilai said, "He's out visiting a friend and won't be back until tomorrow."
Gan Rou felt a little disappointed and said "Oh".
Beilai Daxian snapped his fingers and a strong wind hit Gan Rou's forehead. The pain was so severe that she covered her forehead and squatted down.
"Please show some respect to Mr. Beilai."
Gan Rou said with tears in her eyes: "I'm sorry!"
"I forgive you."
The other foxes shrugged their shoulders and covered their mouths, not daring to laugh out loud.
At this moment, Gong Mengbi took advantage of the thick water vapor and reached the Qiantang River.
Mr. Hei took Gong Mengbi's visiting card and gift and went into the waterway. After a while, he surfaced again and said, "My lord, it has been delivered."
In just a moment, the surface of the Qiantang River parted, revealing a waterway leading directly to the Dragon Palace.
Princess Lingyi's voice came from the waterway, saying, "You're here now, why are you being so formal?"
Gong Mengbi took Mr. Hei and escaped into the water palace, and stopped in front of the Qiantang Dragon Palace. The Dragon Palace was shining brightly, illuminating the entire water area.
The nanny brought them into the palace and straight into the Dragon Palace Library.
Princess Lingyi was dressed in casual clothes and did not look like a dragon king, but rather a young girl waiting to be married, gentle and soft.
The jade incense burner was warming the yellow wine. Princess Lingyi pointed to the table and said, "Come and sit down."
Gong Mengbi sat down opposite Princess Lingyi and said, "Senior Sister, how are you?"
Princess Lingyi said, "I'm fine, just a little upset. Last time, when we passed through the Taihu Water Palace, the Yangtze River water spirits seemed a little worried. They didn't dare to ask my brother-in-law, so they came to me one after another, and the door was almost broken down by the trampling."
Gong Mengbi laughed and said, "Senior Sister is so impressive."
Princess Lingyi poured him a cup of rice wine and said, "I only secured my position as Lord Qiantang by relying on my father's remaining influence. Otherwise, the Qiantang Dragon Palace would have been downgraded to a water palace long ago. They came looking for me, and I dismissed them with just one sentence."
"What?"
"Respect the laws of heaven and the laws of water. Walk uprightly and sit uprightly, and your worries will disappear."
"Wouldn't they be even more panicked then?"
"Brother-in-law has made it clear enough. If you are still walking around here, I'm afraid you might have misunderstood me."
Gong Mengbi clinked his glasses with Princess Lingyi and said with a smile, "That's right."
Princess Lingyi asked, "What about you?"
Gong Mengbi said, "I've finished my work outside, and now I'm teaching in the Fox Courtyard to rest and relax."
Princess Lingyi asked curiously, "With your level of skill, why doesn't the Sky Fox Court use you?"
Gong Mengbi said, "Where is there a seat for me in the Heavenly Fox Courtyard right now? If I go to the Heavenly Fox Courtyard, I'm afraid many people will be so anxious that they can't sleep."
Princess Lingyi understood and said, "Is this something that can be argued about?"
"A small temple is full of evil spirits, a shallow pond is full of turtles. How can there be no quarrel?"
Lord Lingyi shook his head and asked, "What are you doing here today?"
Gong Mengbi put on a smile and said gently, "I came all the way here to visit Senior Sister."
"Hmph." Princess Lingyi pointed at his chest and said, "When have you ever really come to see me? Tell me!"
Gong Mengbi said "Ouch" and put on an embarrassed expression, saying: "I really came all the way to visit you, Senior Sister, and I just stopped by to ask about something."
"I knew it. Tell me about it."
"The plum rain season has arrived in Jiangnan. It's hot and humid, and my books are going moldy. It's really unbearable."
"so what?"
"So when does the plum blossom season end?"
Princess Lingyi's expression softened slightly as she said, "It's hard for me to tell you if you ask me that. Generally speaking, it's at least twenty days, and at most thirty days."
"Generally speaking?"
“It’s usually around this time.”
Princess Lingyi was vague and changed the subject, talking about other things with Gong Mengbi.
Gong Mengbi didn't care and just chatted.
In the meantime, Princess Lingyi poured him another glass of wine, and she never touched the pot of rice wine again.
When Gong Mengbi picked up the wine jug to pour her some wine, Princess Lingyi said, "Two cups of wine is enough. Any more would be bad."
Gong Mengbi laughed and said, "That's right, Senior Sister."
Then he put the wine jug down again.
As the night deepened, Princess Lingyi looked a bit tired and said, "Although it's rare for us to meet, I won't keep you any longer. There's been a lot of people coming and going these past few days. I'll come and play with you again when it's quieter."
Gong Mengbi said, "Then I won't bother you anymore, Senior Sister."
Princess Lingyi sent him out of the Dragon Palace and onto the river. She watched him disappear in the clouds, and then looked at the misty fog on the surface of the Qiantang River, and couldn't help but sigh softly.
