Chapter 731: Judgment of Karma
Taiyin nurtures and nourishes all living things, and thus all things can reproduce endlessly.
The images of the twelve gods of the moon appear and disappear one after another.
From the beginning of January to the end of December, the bright moons are like reflections in the water and clouds in the sky, spreading out one after another and turning into a colorful sky.
It was such a gorgeous color, but in the eyes of the fox, he could only see a bright white.
Gong Mengbi taught the December sacrificial methods to a group of foxes through oral instruction.
"These twelve gods were born according to the will of heaven and change with the seasons. You should worship the moon and practice cultivation, relying on the twelve moon gods to protect your spirit. By cultivating your qi and concentrating your mind, you will naturally make progress."
"Twelve months make up a cycle. If you can complete twelve cycles, you won't have to worry about running out of mana until you achieve spiritual enlightenment."
"As for cultivating the spirit, that is another kind of cultivation."
The foxes' moods rise and fall with the bright moon, and arise and disappear with the moon.
The sun and the moon shine forever, impartially, not for one person alone, and without likes or dislikes.
The clear moon shone on the fox's spirit, making them feel tears welling up in their eyes. As Gong Mengbi spoke, the tears gradually gathered and turned into living water that cleansed their souls.
Looking at Gong Mengbi again, he seems to be the god of the moon, with an aura of detachment from the world, but his eyebrows and eyes are gentle and somewhat compassionate.
Gong Mengbi said, "We foxes originally live between the living and the dead. We are close to humans and animals, like immortals and monsters. We are strange and unique, but we are also influenced by the essence of the sun and the moon. We are just ordinary."
"Heaven and earth create and bestow upon all living things. Karma and fate bring them together, impartial and impartial."
"Foxes are born to cultivate through fate. Other demons and immortals can escape from the mortal world, but foxes like me choose to enter the world and follow the world. We use fate to pry open the destiny and cultivate our hearts."
"You do this, and I do this too."
"Making connections is not easy. How to establish connections, how to borrow connections, and how to resolve connections are both a matter of human nature and the development of the mind of Tao. If one does not understand human nature, bad connections will often arise. If one does not understand the mind of Tao, it will often be difficult to escape. How to strike the right balance requires constant experimentation and self-reflection."
"Although the words cause and condition are often mentioned together, there is still a difference between them. Cause is like a seed, and condition is like rain and dew. In the word 'cultivation,' I am the seed, and the method of condition is the rain and dew cultivating it. Without the seed, no amount of rain and dew can bring forth flowers or fruits. It goes without saying which comes first and which is more important."
"When you step into this world, you must learn to judge cause and effect. Sow seeds first, not pray for rain."
Gong Mengbi looked at their faces, which seemed to understand but not quite, and knew that he had said enough.
He stood up, and the clouds beneath him naturally dissipated.
"That's all I have to say. I hope you don't feel that your trip today was in vain." Gong Mengbi curled his eyes and turned back to Shouyue Tower.
The teachers from both houses maintained order and said, "If you have urgent matters to leave, you may leave now. If you are not in a hurry, you can stay until tomorrow and leave together."
Now that you're here, why would anyone leave now?
Not to mention the wonders of this Taoist temple, even the countless moonlight scattered during the twelve months cannot be wasted.
Under the master's command, the foxes acted separately.
After asking the tall Five Ghost Gods for directions, they collected pine branches, fragrant herbs and other items from Wuhuan Peak.
Finally, they set up a high bonfire and began to worship the Goddess of Mount Tai with the December sacrificial ritual taught by Gong Mengbi. They sang and danced around the bonfire, thanked the gods with fox calls and fox dances, and performed the Taoist method of fox sacrifice to the moon.
The moonlight flows and the fox howls long.
The smoke from the herbs burning in the bonfire lingered and merged with the clouds in Wuhuan Peak.
The moonlight gradually faded and the sky gradually brightened.
Although within the dojo, the movement of the sun and moon remained unchanged. However, the fox child knew that the moon had not vanished, but had simply hidden itself far up in the sky, obscured by clouds and unable to be seen. If one rode a cloud-dragon mist crane high in the heavens, one could see the bright moon hanging high in the sky. If one continued upward, one could even spot the Azure Dragon.
After a night of communication and exchanging information, both the foxes from Wuning County and Jinhua County gained a lot.
The foxes went down the mountain in two groups. The ones from the Fox Court of Lanyin Temple left first, and on the way back, the Master accompanied them all the way.
The students of Fox Academy on Fox Hill took a step back, and as soon as they stepped out of Wuhuan Peak, they were hit in the face by the hot and humid rain.
The rain continued for thirty days and there was no sign of stopping.
Unlike the floods of a few years ago, the black dragon lingered back and forth, and water vapor accumulated, and finally it turned into a vast swamp as if the sky was cracked.
But this year's rain is different.
The drizzle was like silk, woven into velvet cloth and falling from the sky. The heat and moisture contended with each other, making it feel like living in a steamer every day.
"Why isn't the plum blossom season coming out yet?"
Xue Nianjiao came out from the corner of the land temple, swept the cushion in front of the statue with her big tail, sat down on the cushion, hugged her arms and shook her legs impatiently.
The community god also walked down from the statue, wearing brocade clothes, but with a weathered face, like an old man who had stolen the landlord's clothes. He took a pipe and puffed on it, slowly refining the incense in the candles into a little bit of divine power.
The community god was humble and squatted beside Xue Nianjiao. The man and the fox looked at the slanting rain outside in the small land temple, and gradually became anxious.
After this day, more and more people came to worship, all praying for the early end of the plum blossom season.
On humid and hot days, the soil is warm when you dig your hands into the ground, and the roots of the crops are gradually rotting.
Ten days later, there was still no sign of the end of the plum rain season.
Xue Nianjiao and the community god squatted on the doorstep and watched the rain.
The two men were covered in dust and dirt. The somewhat exquisite brocade clothes of the community god were covered in dirt, and Xue Nianjiao had become a black-haired fox.
"Why isn't the plum blossom season coming out yet?"
The two partners grew anxious, but one of them was a shrine god, and the other wasn't even a shrine. Besides sorting out the earth's energy in the middle of the night, there was nothing they could do. And sorting out the earth's energy wasn't as easy as they'd imagined.
"What a sin." The community god coughed and spat out a mouthful of pus and phlegm, which twisted on the ground and then disappeared.
Xue Nianjiao glanced at him with disgust and complained, "Please smoke more slowly. The purification of the incense cannot be delayed. Don't get yourself into trouble."
The community god shook his pipe, put it on his waist, and continued to stare outside.
"A disaster is about to happen."
Xue Nianjiao asked, "What disaster?"
"have no idea."
"So what do you know?"
"have no idea."
Xue Nianjiao sighed, her ears drooping. "The plum rain season hasn't been this long in previous years, has it?"
"No." The community god rarely said a word. "When everything is normal, there will be no disaster. When it is abnormal, there will be disaster."
Xue Nianjiao rolled her eyes.
