Chapter 774: The Beauty of Adulthood
Zhang Chengzu left his hometown to practice with Taoist Hou. He was afraid that the Golden True Nature King would bring disaster to his family, so he did not dare to go home. Naturally, his agreement with the Golden Soul Palace Immortal was put on hold.
The Immortal Yuezhong enlightened him on how to practice cultivation, and told him to retrieve the Fox Book and pray to the fox fairy who wrote the book. If he was allowed, he could then practice cultivation under Taishan.
He is no longer in Xia Pi, so it is naturally impossible for him to retrieve the Fox Book. If he wants to become Taishan's disciple, he will have to wait for an opportunity in the future.
According to Taoist Hou, if he could not suppress the Golden True Nature King, perhaps there would be no such person as Zhang Chengzu in the world, and there would be no need to consider becoming a disciple of Mount Tai.
Xinjue has been following them all the time. When he doesn't speak, Zhang Chengzu often ignores him, like a ghost or a shadow. But when he suddenly moves, he will scare Zhang Chengzu.
Zhang Chengzu could never adapt to Xinjue's headless appearance. He had five senses and six hands, could hear, see, smell and speak, but he just didn't look like a human and had no human touch.
At first, Taoist Hou thought Xinjue would stop him, but Xinjue just made a few sarcastic remarks and soon shut up, tacitly agreeing to everything. He allowed Taoist Hou to teach him the Taoist teachings and guide his practice, using the method of rectifying his mind and doing righteous things to help Zhang Chengzu calm his distracting thoughts and establish his Taoist heart.
Sometimes when Hou Laodao looked at Xinjue, he found it difficult to guess what Xinjue was thinking. He also hoped that he would calm down and not cause any more trouble.
The shackles on Taoist Hou could never be removed. Firstly, the shackles were set by the Golden True Nature King. Xinjue did not have the right to drive the devil, and Zhang Chengzu could not get the devil's recognition. Secondly, Xinjue did not want the shackles to be broken, causing the situation to develop in a direction that he could not control.
The three people each have their own thoughts, but they are involved in checks and balances with each other, maintaining a strange balance.
Gong Mengbi would occasionally look at Zhang Chengzu through the bright moon in Zhang Chengzu's heart to make sure that the Golden True Mingwang had not broken the seal of the bright moon. He would occasionally feel Xinjue's mood through Xinjue's heart fire to prevent this fake monk with a lack of Zen mind from being repeatedly exploited by others.
The four hundred years of cultivation involved the Shinto, Immortal, Buddhist, and Demonic ways. If we follow the original thread, perhaps in this life or the next, it will be a happy situation where grievances are resolved, demons are transformed into Taoism, and everyone benefits.
But because the future Great Light Buddha intervened and the Desire King interfered, the good thing turned into a bad thing.
It took Gong Mengbi a lot of effort to maintain this situation.
Why push for bad consequences when good things can be accomplished, even if it takes some effort? It's easy to tear down, but it's hard to build up.
On the other hand, it is also because they can use it.
The future Great Light Buddha never showed up. Gong Mengbi tried several times but could not find out the name of this Buddha. He only knew that the wrathful heart flame was taken from the Buddha and was contaminated with Buddha nature, so it could transform the demon king into a bright king.
But from Gong Mengbi's own experience, the angry heart fire is equivalent to the confusing spider eggs in the brain of Jin Ting Daxian. Mysterious as it is, wonderful as it is, but it is still missing something - in other words, it is probably not the true ability of the future Great Light Buddha. In terms of the spirituality poured into it, it is probably not as good as Gong Mengbi's heart fire.
Sooner or later, the King of Desire and Joy would return to search for the Golden True Nature King, leaving this useful body behind so that he could explore more information for Gong Mengbi. Even if he couldn't get to the bottom of the future Great Light Buddha, it would be good to find out the true body of the King of Desire and Joy.
The main ingredient of the Golden True Nature Mingwang is the Mara King, the auxiliary ingredient is the wrathful heart flame, and the initiator is Gong Mengbi, all of which are integrated into the container of Zhang Chengzu.
Before Gong Mengbi intervened, King Mara would probably have become a Vajra King such as the Lord of Wrath or the Vajra King of Destruction, but with Gong Mengbi's involvement, he would only become the Golden True Vajra King. Even if Gong Mengbi no longer intervened, what had already been done would not change.
The difference lies in who will eventually become the Golden True Nature King.
Zhang Chengzu was only able to avoid being swallowed by the Golden True Nature King because of Mingyue's protection, but the future was uncertain. If he truly had such a fate, and could subdue the Golden True Nature King into a spiritual incarnation, he would truly leap into the fourth rank of Taoism.
Such a level of Taoism is already on par with the Yin-Yang Dharma King and is comparable to the Five-Power God. With such abilities, wouldn't it be a pity if he couldn't be controlled by Gong Mengbi?
If Zhang Chengzu did not have such a fate, Gong Mengbi could take his place and turn the Golden True Nature Vidyaraja into a tool that could be discarded at any time, without feeling sorry for using it and without fear of being discovered by the future Great Light Buddha.
Gong Mengbi did not take the Fox Book from the Sutra Library of Jingta Temple, but simply banned it and no longer allowed others to read or spread it.
If Zhang Chengzu has such good fortune, what's wrong with retrieving the fox book and becoming Taishan's disciple in the future?
The Five Ghosts are busy in Chengyang Village again.
The Golden True Nature King broke the formation of Chengyang Manor, and the Five Ghosts could only work hard to rebuild the formation.
When Chengyang Manor was once again shrouded in mist, Gong Mengbi bid farewell to the Miao Fox Society. He presented the Fox Book to the Society again, a book he had revised and supplemented several times, constantly making subtle adjustments as he gained insights from his practice. The Miao Fox Society was the first recipient of the gift.
Once Gong Mengbi improves it further, maybe he will make it public and release an updated version.
Miao Fox will be reluctant to leave, and even the foxes in Chengyang Village who didn't have time to say a few words to him will be reluctant to leave.
If they have no chance to become immortals in the future and can only hang around in the mortal world, they will probably never see anyone more capable than Gong Mengbi again.
Gong Mengbi thought about it and gave them half a day of lessons in the name of filling a vacancy.
With his vision, he could see through all foxes, regardless of their age or depth of cultivation. His guidance not only pointed out the shortcomings of their cultivation, but also cleared the obstacles in their cultivation, allowing them to better understand themselves.
The qualifications and conditions for cultivation are certainly important, but taking Xinjue as an example, we know that if one’s heart is not firm, then the spirit full of omissions will eventually collapse and dissipate with the wind and rain.
Shao Huzheng, Miao Huhui and Hu Zi came to ask for advice together. When they came to them, Gong Mengbi talked more about magical powers and Taoist practice.
Before leaving, Gong Mengbi encouraged Miao Huhui, saying, "If you encounter any difficulties in running the school, you can seek help from the City God of Xiapi. During his reign, he will certainly help you with any legitimate request, so you can rest assured."
Miao Hu Hui bowed deeply and said, "Hu Zheng is so kind, I will never forget it."
Gong Mengbi helped him up and said, "I want to thank you for your trust and for devoting your life to Fox Court. Don't neglect your cultivation. Keep walking on this path, and you will naturally see the light."
Miao Huhui nodded deeply.
Gong Mengbi looked at Shao Huzheng again and said with a smile: "I don't have anything to tell you. You should practice well. See you at Tianhuyuan."
Shao Huzheng bowed and said, "Thank you very much, Mr. Mingfu, for this time."
Gong Mengbi shook his head and said goodbye, "I'll go ahead. If you have any difficulties in the future, I will go to Tianhuyuan to find Dr. Huang. Dr. Huang, I, and even Xun Jijiu will not sit idly by."
His eyes are tolerant and powerful, not limited to the present time, place and events.
Shao Huzheng and Miao Huhui thanked him again, but before they could bow their heads, Gong Mengbi and the five strong servants behind him had already turned into mist in the forest and flew away into the sky.
