Chapter 742: Requesting the Holy Image
Kang Tang sighed deeply and had no appetite when he ate with his colleagues in the kitchen.
Mr. Fox from the Qigong Department saw that she couldn't eat, and he himself felt that the food had no taste.
"If you keep fiddling with it, I can't eat anymore. Tell me, what's going on?"
Kang Wen then told several colleagues about Sun Wenyuan's letter asking for help, saying, "The dean said at the time that he wasn't careful enough and had already been injured, so he sent Mr. Qing to deliver the letter and give him some advice."
Mr. Fox from the Mental Health Department rolled his eyes and said, "The Dean has already taken action, so what is there to worry about?"
"I'm not worried about his life, I'm worried about him suffering. Sun Wenyuan looks mature and is usually taciturn. He didn't get into the Tianhu Academy, nor does he hold a position at the Sheshen Office. You're not familiar with him and we haven't had much contact, but I have a deep impression of him."
Kang Wen said, "When Fox Court was first established, things were very complicated. I assigned him some tasks, and he completed them meticulously. He led the planting of the True Yang Grass on Dongpo, and there was not a single mistake."
"After completing my studies, I even joined the Shen family twice, and he was very dedicated."
"He's not a top talent, but he's very serious about what he does. It's just that his aptitude for cultivation isn't very good, and he entered the path late, so he hasn't achieved anything significant."
Mr. Fox, who was sitting next to him, finally understood why Kang Wen was worried, but they were curious about something else.
"It's rare that you keep paying attention to even someone as mediocre as him."
Kang Wen straightened the scattered hair on his temples and smiled like an elder.
"I'm paying attention to each and every one of you."
“Eh—”
Several Mr. Fox shuddered and said, "Scheming!"
"It was all planned long ago. No wonder he's now the head of the hall."
The Fox Child Academy follows the structure of a traditional academy. Under the dean sits the hall master, who assists the dean in managing the academy. The Great Immortal Beilai serves as an assistant lecturer, imparting the methods of cultivation. Nine other teachers assist the Great Immortal in teaching the Fox Child Academy.
Although they were classmates and are now colleagues, Kang Wen was indeed ahead of them a long time ago.
Joking aside, Mr. Fox from the Department of Mental Health suggested, "Why not go and take a look?"
But Kang Wen refused again, saying, "Forget it. We'll just guard the Fox Courtyard. We can't open this door. But there's no problem in asking someone to find out."
Kang Wen knew Gong Mengbi best. Huziyuan was Huziyuan, and Caoye was Caoye. Huziyuan was a school, a place for education.
It was ten days later when the news about Sun Wenyuan reached Fox Courtyard.
Upon hearing that the sorcerer in Shiqiao Village had died suddenly, his three sons all went blind, went mad, and pounced on anyone they saw.
When people entered their house to collect the old man's body, they found that the statue in the temple had collapsed.
For a time, people were in a panic and there were many different opinions. Some said that a big ghost had harmed the family of the shaman, while others said that the ghost raised by the shaman was an evil ghost.
When faced with such an opportunity, Sun Wenyuan appeared under the name of the Queen of Mount Tai without waiting for his injuries to heal.
Taking advantage of the good foundation of Mount Tai Goddess and Wuning County, we can expose the evil deeds of the Shenhan family while spreading the grace of Mount Tai Goddess.
Finally, in the name of "resolving resentment, praying for blessings and eliminating disasters", with the consent of the village elders, the shaman's house was converted into a temple of the goddess.
This matter was not so easy to promote originally, but it became much easier because the old scholar tacitly agreed.
The three crazy blind men were originally locked up at home. After Sun Wenyuan arrived, he calmed their souls and made them quiet down.
These shamans raised ghosts and enslaved wronged souls. After Mr. Qing plucked out their eyes and shook their spirits, they went mad. Only after Sun Wenyuan calmed their spirits did they calm down, agree to the renovation, and volunteer to stay in the Niangniang Temple to worship, confess, and forgive their sins.
This was somewhat legendary in the village, but in Sun Wenyuan's hands, it was merely a way to provide a layer of security for his actions. The souls of these three crazy blind men had long been shattered by Mr. Qing, and Sun Wenyuan didn't have the patience or the skills to sort them out and sew them together.
Changing the house is a small matter, but inviting the statue of the goddess is a big matter.
Sun Wenyuan selected an auspicious day and personally came to Fox Hill to request the statue of the Goddess of Mount Tai.
Although there are many portraits and small statues of the Goddess of Mount Tai, these objects are unable to bear the incense, and basically they leak out as much as they are received like a colander, and they cannot make her more divine as she is nurtured.
It was a month later when he came to Fox Hill.
The whole mountain was filled with the sharp cries of cicadas. As the sun shone high in the sky, Fox Hill looked even more like a piece of submerged jade, remote and lonely.
The mountain is not high, even though Fox Hill is just a small hill, but in Wuning, it is the place where the Taishan God lives.
When Sun Wenyuan revisited Fox Hill and went up the mountain, Director Kang came to greet him in person.
Several gentlemen from the cultivation department followed Kang Wen, and when they saw Sun Wenyuan, they looked at him with some respect.
Kang Wen said, "I was right about you. I knew you just lacked an opportunity to display your talents. Congratulations! Even though you are in a remote place, you are now in charge of a place."
Sun Wenyuan rarely showed any embarrassment and said, "I'm sorry to have failed to live up to your expectations."
"No, it far exceeded my expectations."
Kang Wen led him in, looked at his face, and asked, "How is your injury?"
Sun Wenyuan said, "The lungs were injured and haven't recovered yet, but it's fine now."
"That's good."
After entering Fox Courtyard, Sun Wenyuan explained his purpose, saying, "I built a temple for the goddess in Shiqiao Township, but I'm short of a statue of Tongshen. There aren't any skilled statue sculptors in Shiqiao Township, so I wanted to come to the courtyard and ask for one."
Kang Wen looked at him with a smile in her watery eyes, but Sun Wenyuan turned his head away, as if she had seen through his thoughts.
Such little thoughts naturally could not be hidden from Kang Wen, let alone Gong Mengbi.
However, Gong Mengbi was willing to give him such support. Although he could not help personally, he was happy to ask for a holy statue from the Fox Courtyard after the success.
Kang Wen took him to meet Gong Mengbi.
In Gong Mengbi's fox house, he saw a teacher in plain clothes and gauze robes reading scriptures in front of the door.
The incense from the small golden burner curled up and spread on the table, making Gong Mengbi look more like a sophisticated scholar rather than a fox god dancing with the gods in heaven.
Gong Mengbi recognized him when he saw him and said, "Wenyuan, you've made a good start."
Sun Wenyuan was excited and said, "Master, you have shown me the way forward. If I still hesitate, it would be a waste of your hard work."
Gong Mengbi's eyes curved up, and he waved his hand and said, "Come and sit down."
Sun Wenyuan and Kang Wen sat down on the left and right of Gong Mengbi's desk. Compared with Kang Wen, Sun Wenyuan was much more reserved.
When Mr. Qing, wearing a turban, came out with tea, he became even more frightened.
