Chapter 776: A Few Jokes
But after one meeting, the impression of each other was pretty good.
Gong Mengbi was born with a good appearance. Unless people had ill intentions towards him, few would dislike him.
This priest had a kind round face, and he always had a smile on his face even when he wasn't speaking. He was also very polite, so it was hard to dislike him.
Gong Mengbi asked, "Is the priest here for this rain worker?"
The priest nodded and said, "Master, do you know the rainmaker? Not many people know the rainmaker these days."
"I've seen it several times in Qiantang Dragon Palace."
The priest was filled with awe and said, "Being able to enter and exit the Qiantang Dragon Palace, it seems I have met a master."
Gong Mengbi introduced himself, saying, "My surname is Gong, my courtesy name is Mingfu, and I am a student of the Heavenly Fox Academy. I am considered a half-disciple of the Qiantang Dragon Lord."
"So you're a top student at the Sky Fox Academy and the beloved disciple of the Qiantang Dragon Lord. No wonder you recognize the Rain Worker."
"Aren't rain workers common?"
"In ancient times, this was quite common. When the yin and yang of the wild gods were off, it was easy for such spirits to be born. Later, when the gods' principles aligned the yin and yang and there were no turmoils in heaven and earth, such spirits rarely appeared. Like this evil creature, if the yin and yang had not shifted, and if there were still branches left after combing the heavenly wind, it would be impossible for it to be born."
"I see. It seems that the rain workers we see now have all lived for many years."
"The rain workers I met in the Qiantang Dragon Palace are probably over a thousand years old, older than me."
Gong Mengbi then asked, "May I know your name?"
"Your Majesty, I dare not. I am Li Shanwen, a minor deity from the Ministry of Thunder. I was ordered by the Supreme God to escort the rainmaker to the Thunder Court of Tianfu. I was delayed by trivial matters on the way. I was a moment late and nearly let this evil creature cause a disaster."
Li Shanwen sighed, looked towards the southeast, and said, "Fortunately, you intervened in time to save the beast's life and spare me from punishment."
Gong Mengbi got off the goat and handed the rope to Li Shanwen, saying, "The God has arrived. Even if I don't take action, the rain worker can't kill anyone."
When Gong Mengbi made his move, Li Shanwen had already arrived. However, Gong Mengbi had already made his move, so Li Shanwen did not speak out to stop him, so as not to distract him.
Li Shanwen took the thunder rope, and the rope transformed from thunder was obedient and docile in his hands.
He led the rain worker by the hand and looked towards the southeast, saying, "It turned out to be a little fox. Fortunately, it was not killed. You evil beast, why don't you spit out some essence!"
Li Shanwen patted Yu Gong on the head, and Yu Gong bleated, opened his mouth and spit out a stream of thunder essence, which turned into a green pill, floated in the void, and was caught by him.
"When yin and yang complement each other, creation is born." Li Shanwen held the elixir, a look of embarrassment on his face. He looked at Gong Mengbi and said, "Master Gong, I have been granted the divine right to be associated with others. It is not right for Yu Gong to not compensate him for injuring someone. Could you please help me pass this Thunder Essence Pill to the little fox to settle the matter for Yu Gong?"
Gong Mengbi took the thunder ball, his eyes narrow and long with a smile.
"That little fox is my family. I want to thank Priest Li on her behalf."
Li Shanwen laughed heartily, mounted the rainmaker, and patted the rainmaker on the back. The goat then turned into a thundering beast, making a sound of thunder, and flew towards the sky.
"Fellow Daoist Gong, I have long heard of your great name. We hope to meet again someday."
Gong Mengbi watched the lightning of the thunder spirit disappear in the sky, smiled and shook his head.
With the birth of the thunder spirit, the rain clouds caused by the violent storm finally calmed down gradually. I believe that after the rain continues for a while, the wind and rain will calm down again.
The five ghosts took off on a small boat, transforming into a stream of light. As they left, the boat grew smaller and smaller, until it finally turned into a leaf and swirled down the river.
"My lord, who is that?"
"It was the Thunder God, sent down to subdue the rainmaker. He probably recognized me and played a few jokes on me."
"My lord's reputation is far-reaching. Last time, it was the Wind God who came to ask for heaven's help. This time, the Thunder God came to make acquaintance with me. This shows that my virtue is long-standing and I am blessed by heaven."
"Slippery."
Gong Mengbi turned and headed southeast, saying, "Let's go. The rainmaker got upset and thunder struck in the southeast. Let's go take a look."
Speaking of the Rain Worker, the Five Ghosts were amazed and said, "The spirits born of thunder are born with great magical powers. It is truly amazing and enviable."
"Why envy? Fortune and misfortune are linked. Born of thunder, you may be born with supernatural powers, but aren't you also imprisoned by thunder? If you practice well, you will have a better future than the rain workers."
They had never seen a rain worker, but Gong Mengbi had seen many. The Qiantang Water Palace maintained over 800 rain workers, and the Taihu Water Palace had over 300. While they enjoyed a dignified position, they were far from being born divine.
On the contrary, Wu Gui, after practicing with Gong Mengbi, has a future that far exceeds Yu Gong's.
The six people landed in the southeast valley and saw a long line of villages in the distance, including a house with smoke coming out of it.
The family was quite wealthy, with a large house with three entrances and three exits. The owner and servants fled outside to avoid the fire. Fortunately, the fire was not big, only the beams ignited by the lightning strike, and it was extinguished after being washed away by the rain.
An old lady dressed in rich clothes was frightened and was supported by two maids, who kept stroking her back to help her breathe smoothly.
Another middle-aged man comforted her and said, "Mother, it's okay now. The fire is out."
The old lady called out, "Where's Cuiyun? Cuiyun is still in the room!"
"Come in and look for it quickly!" The old lady was so anxious that she was jumping up and down. The middle-aged man was also very anxious. The group rushed into the house to look for it.
"Cuiyun, Cuiyun, where are you?" the old woman called.
"Mother, I'm here!"
The old woman followed the sound and found that it came from the house that was on fire and still smoking.
"Cuiyun, how are you?"
The old lady hurried over, and the two maids pushed open the door and called out, "Madam, please come out quickly. The room is on fire and it's not safe."
"ah!"
The two maids screamed and stepped back in fear, shouting, "Monster!"
"What kind of monster!"
Everyone came upon hearing the news and gathered outside the house.
The two maids were so frightened that tears streamed down their cheeks, and they cried, "Madam! Madam is a monster!"
The old lady suddenly felt dizzy, and the middle-aged man turned pale with fright.
The old lady managed to calm herself down and said, "Nonsense! How could the lady be a monster?"
"I'll go take a look!"
"Mom!" The man grabbed the old lady's hand, fear showing on his face, and shook his head, refusing to go.
"That's the wife you married!" the old lady's voice became stern.
She shook off her son's hand, her heart pounding. She walked slowly to the door, gathered herself, and said, "Cuiyun, mother came to see you."
When she walked into the room, she saw a pale and beautiful woman leaning against the bed, her body covered in blood and her eyes full of pleading.
The old lady stood there frozen, because behind the woman, a long, hairy, bloody tail was shaking and she couldn't retract it.
