Chapter 760 Please Show Mercy
Chengyang Manor, this fake manor, does grow crops. There is no farmland, only vegetable plots planted with fruits, vegetables, herbs, and medicinal herbs, which also need constant care.
The fox monasteries in Xiapi County were clearly not as wealthy as those in Wuning County, where they could completely abandon production and focus solely on cultivation. Wuning County, thanks to Gong Mengbi's connection to the Shen family, had no shortage of wealth. The Miao Fox Society clearly didn't have such resources, so the fox monasteries had to occasionally work.
Miao Fox will have a good sleep, and when he wakes up, the other foxes will have finished their work and started their daily homework.
Miao Huhui's mind was groggy, and he blamed himself in his heart. When he saw Shao Huzheng, he said ashamedly, "You came to help me, but I was sleeping soundly. I am really ashamed."
Shao Huzheng said: "Look in the mirror. If you don't get enough sleep, I'm afraid you'll die before the problem is resolved."
Miao Huhui laughed embarrassedly.
Shao Huzheng made a joke and pointed outside Chengyang Manor, saying, "But you woke up at the right time. Look outside, they've been waiting for you for half a day."
Miao Huhui looked outside the village and saw two white-faced ghosts standing and spinning in the shade of the trees, looking anxiously in the direction of Chengyang Village, but they were like headless flies and could not get in.
"This is?"
Shao Huzheng didn't answer, but motioned him to listen carefully. Then he saw the two white-faced ghosts stop and call out loudly, "Is Miao Huxian, the senior disciple of Tianhu Academy, at home? The City God invites you. Please take the time to meet him."
"What do you mean? Didn't you just kick me out yesterday? Why are you inviting me back today?"
Miao Huhui looked at Shao Huzheng and asked, "What happened last night?"
Shao Huzheng laughed and said, "Mingfu Huzheng only used a little trick, and they are already anxious."
Miao Hu would be annoyed and say, "If I had known this would happen, I would have stayed awake longer. I've missed a lot of things. Tell me about it now."
Shao Huzheng didn't say much, just patted his shoulder and said, "It's important for you to save your own life first, and everything else will be easy."
Miao Huhui pursed his lips and said, "Where is Gong Huzheng?"
Shao Huzheng said: "I am wandering in my mind."
"What about the two outside?"
"Just leave it there and wait for Mingfu Huzheng to speak."
The two anxious white-faced ghosts were still wandering outside Chengyang Manor, refusing to leave.
Gong Mengbi was indeed in a trance. He used the smoke from the small golden furnace to block the void and isolate himself from prying eyes and ears. Then he entered a state of meditation and saw the precious tree with lush branches and leaves and hanging precious leaves.
Jade leaves clanged, and the sun and the moon flew out from the left and right of the wishing tree, hovering in front of Gong Mengbi.
The sun-like elixir was the Sun Wheel Golden Elixir, gifted to him by the goddess who had spotted a flaw in his cultivation. The Sun Wheel Golden Elixir nurtured within Gong Mengbi's spiritual altar day by day, growing ever more spiritual and divine, giving the illusion of nurturing the divine Golden Crow. Gong Mengbi never fully grasped the path of pure yang, and so the spirituality within the elixir never emerged.
The one that looks like the moon is the Taiyin Jade Egg, which is the immortal fetus obtained from the hands of the Five-Directions God. Although the spirit in it has long been dead, Gong Mengbi is nurturing his own god in it through the shape of the jade egg, and the immortal fetus is gradually reviving.
The sun and the moon echoed on the left and right, falling into the mysterious light behind Gong Mengbi's head.
Gong Mengbi looked up at the precious tree and asked, "If you make good connections, you will hang a treasure certificate. If you cut off bad connections, a precious tree will grow."
Gong Mengbi stretched out his hand, and a white treasure certificate hung down from the treasure tree, with Zhang Chengzu's name written on it.
He closed his eyes and looked around, then he saw billions of threads of connection spread across the void. What he held in his hand was the connection he had with Zhang Chengzu.
Gong Mengbi no longer used this trick often. Since he had reached a high level of cultivation, he could tell the depth of the fate at a glance. Just like last night, he had manipulated fate to reverse the relationship between Zhang Chengzu and his disciple. There was no need to sacrifice the treasure tree anymore.
The reason I came to investigate was that Zhang Chengzu was truly interesting. While the roots of spiritual practice were rare, they couldn't sustain such a large situation.
Gong Mengbi has always been more vigilant. Even the good godmother of Jin Ting Daxian couldn't catch him. Gong Mengbi is even more good at playing with fate. How could he be passively involved in the game?
Miao Huhui and Shao Huzheng didn't wait long, and soon Gong Mengbi's door opened.
Miao Huhui came to inquire, saying, "Gong Huzheng, those two wandering gods have been shouting outside for a long time."
Gong Mengbi said: "Since you are invited, go ahead."
"I'm going alone?" Miao Huhui was dumbfounded.
Gong Mengbi nodded and said, "Don't worry, he won't make things difficult for you. When the time comes, just tell him what you are talking about."
Miao Huhui nervously opened the gate of Chengyang Manor, and the two white-faced wandering gods came forward to pay their respects with great joy. They followed all the rules and did not trespass, but waited outside the door to be summoned.
Miao Huhui was not the type to put on airs, so despite having some doubts in their hearts, they still followed the two processional deities to the City God Temple.
After passing the screen wall, the temple keeper bowed and guided us, saying, "Miao Fox Fairy, the City God invites you."
Miao Huhui glanced at him, not expecting him to behave like this.
When we entered the City God Hall, we saw that the City God had changed his appearance. The ghost messengers holding water and fire sticks on both sides were gone, and only maids and servants were left to serve him.
The City God was sitting in the main seat, dressed in casual clothes. When he saw him coming, he came to greet him personally, saying, "Miao Hu Hui, you are finally here! I have been waiting for you for so long. Come, come, take a seat."
The maid led him to a seat, but Miao Huhui felt so restrained that he didn't know where to put his hands.
After sitting down, Miao Huhui discovered that besides him, there was also a thin old Taoist in the hall.
The City God introduced him, "This is Taoist Priest Hou, who cultivates in Tiger Mountain and truly practices the Tao."
Miao Huhui then exchanged greetings with Taoist Master Hou.
The City God said with a smile, "I invited the Miao Fox Society to come here to apologize to them. Last night, I thought about it over and over again, and it is true that I did not treat everyone equally and neglected the Fox Society."
Miao Huhui was flattered and said, "I dare not, I dare not."
The City God said, "The Zhang family's child was undisciplined and disturbed the fox spirit's cultivation. This is truly unjust. I will order him to conduct a night trial and have him apologize to the fox spirit and return the fox book."
Miao Huhui had not expected the matter to be resolved in this way. He sighed for a moment, but he also said sincerely, "Thank you, City God, for handling this matter impartially."
"It was my negligence that disturbed the Fox Society. I really shouldn't have done that. I offer a toast to the Fox Society." The City God personally toasted to the Miao Fox Society to apologize.
Miao Huhui did not make it difficult, and after drinking the wine, he decided not to pursue the matter any further.
The City God then said, "Miao Huhui, the Zhang family boy was at fault first, but considering his young age and ignorance, please be kind and let him go."
"Ah? What do you mean?"
Taoist Priest Hou stood up and said, "The Zhang family boy and I have a master-disciple relationship. He was at fault for stealing the Fox Book. I am willing to apologize on his behalf. I only ask that the Fox Society show mercy and sever his fate with him, take back his cultivation, and not let him go astray and become irreversible."
"I'm very grateful."
