Chapter 793: Give an Explanation
"This is not easy." Fairy Qingyao stretched out her hand to catch a wisp of smoke, and spread it out casually, and a picture scroll of emptiness appeared.
"The lower three grades focus their efforts on the flesh, unable to escape the shackles of the flesh. The middle three grades focus their efforts on the spirit. Although they can fly, gather, and disperse, and have bodies outside of their bodies, they are like colorful clouds that are easily dispersed and glass that is easily broken, and cannot last forever. Only when you reach the upper three grades can you see the true state of this world."
The scroll of the void was peeled off layer by layer, revealing the boundless void of the universe, but it was then grasped in the palm of Fairy Qingyao's hand and returned to dust.
"If Xun Jijiu could break through the barriers of his position as Jijiu, not be burdened by external affairs, and achieve the upper third rank, then the goddess could let him go. Unfortunately, he still needs some time."
Fairy Qingyao looked at Gong Mengbi and said, "But I believe you can do it."
Gong Mengbi lowered his head slightly and said, "I dare not disappoint the favor of the goddess and the fairy."
"Go," Fairy Qingyao said, "I've told you too much. Don't let me influence you. Just take steady steps, improve your cultivation, and achieve your own merits. The goddess and I will be happy for you. As for the rest, it's insignificant."
Gong Mengbi just said, "We'll see what happens in the future." There's no need to say anything else.
Gong Mengbi went down the mountain.
Fairy Qingyao stood on the stone platform, watching Gong Mengbi fly through the wind and clouds and turn into a flying rainbow before she retracted her gaze, stepped off the stone platform and returned to the Jade Palace.
She was very satisfied with Gong Mengbi. This satisfaction was not because of the few things he had accomplished, but had gradually developed since he entered Tianhu Academy.
The goddess and she both believed that to break the current situation, they had to start with the wild foxes. Therefore, in response to their methods, fate would often converge on three or two wild foxes. This was how Hu Jiao and Gong Mengbi entered the Heavenly Fox Academy. Their exceptional talent, their inherent Daoist roots, caught the attention of the goddess and she the moment they entered the academy.
Hu Jiao was extremely talented and had a high spirit, so she was soon feared by the aristocratic families. They used some tricks to lead Hu Jiao astray, betraying the purpose of Tianhu Academy and leaving the academy to wander in the mortal world.
On the contrary, Gong Mengbi, who did not show any talent at the beginning, performed very well in all aspects. He was calm, smart, and cunning enough. However, these alone were not enough. There are many cunning foxes in the world. If one does not have enough benevolence, cannot empathize with others, and cannot sympathize with the suffering of others, he will not be able to take on important responsibilities.
The Goddess and Fairy Qingyao were very satisfied with Gong Mengbi because he possessed both qualities.
Maybe this time, I can really succeed.
Fairy Qingyao thought so, otherwise they would have to use the next era to find a new method, maybe the next hundred years, maybe the next five hundred years or even a thousand years.
For practitioners, time sometimes seems meaningless. A long enough life span will naturally change one's perspective on things, but once there is expectation, time becomes extremely meaningful.
Gong Mengbi went to Mount Wutai to seek revenge on the Fox King Lingying, but Xun Jijiu took action earlier than him.
After coming out of the Jade Palace, Xun Jijiu went to the Sutra Library to look for Huangfu's classics.
The fox spirits working in the Sutra Library were about to report this, but Xun Jiji waved his hand and let them go. He went straight into the Sutra Library and found Huangfu Dianji, who was dozing in his rocking chair.
Xun Jijiu looked at him coldly. He had a round face and looked kind whether he was smiling or not, but such an expression on his face made people feel as if the earth was collapsing and the mountains were shaking.
Huangfu Dianji seemed to sense the murderous intent and opened his eyes to look at Xun Jijiu. Seeing that it was him and his expression, the leisurely look on his face disappeared. He stood up and said, "Why didn't you let anyone know that Xun Jijiu was coming?"
"I'm alone, there's no need to make a scene."
"Please sit down and have a cup of tea to cool down. What could be the reason that makes you so upset?"
"I dare not drink your tea. If I drink your tea today, I'm afraid I'll fall into your hands tomorrow."
"What does this mean?"
"What do you mean? The entire family of the Fox Court in Haozhou was wiped out. The goddess sent Gong Mingfu to investigate, but he was stopped by the Fox God of your Huangfu family who works in the Taiyin Palace. He pressed them with words and Taoism. I want to ask you what you mean by this!"
Huangfu Dianji's beard twitched, and surprise appeared in his eyes. For a moment, he didn't know how to respond.
"How is that possible?"
Huangfu Dianji paced back and forth in front of Xun Jijiu and said, "Jijiu, this was absolutely not the work of our Huangfu family. We never participate in factional disputes. The Goddess ordered the construction of the Fox Courtyard, and our Huangfu family contributed greatly. We also have a great regard for the Mingfu Fox Fairy. I'm afraid there is some misunderstanding about this matter."
"Can you represent the Huangfu family?"
Huangfu Dianji's eyes flickered as he said, "If I can't represent the Huangfu family, then no one else can represent the Huangfu family either."
Xun Jijiu sneered and said, "I don't believe it was your Huangfu family who did this, but you must give me an explanation."
Huangfu Dianji took a deep breath and said, "Don't worry, Master. Even if you don't tell us, we will find out everything. Don't try to pin this matter on my Huangfu family."
Xun Jijiu stared at Huangfu Dianji without any hesitation. Huangfu Dianji did not give in and stared at him.
"Okay, then I'll wait for your explanation."
Xun Jijiu turned away with a murderous look in his eyes.
"Is this madman going to have another attack?"
Huangfu Dianji's eyes flashed with fear, and he felt angry and a little worried. "Who is behind this, pushing my Huangfu family out to take the blame?"
"It's Fox Courtyard again, and Gong Mingfu again. With things like this, I'm afraid there's no way this can be resolved peacefully."
Huangfu Dianji left Tianhuyuan in a hurry with worry in his heart to investigate the matter of the fox god.
Xun Jijiu vented his anger for a while, and when he returned to his residence, he had calmed down.
He gave the order, "Bring the files and rosters of the Fox Courtyard and pass them down. Send a cloud carriage to welcome the guests. Invite the deans of each Fox Courtyard to gather at the Heavenly Fox Courtyard at midnight three days later."
The fox fairy asked, "Is he the dean of all the fox academies?"
Xun Jijiu knew what he wanted to ask and said, "All the deans of the fox academy, regardless of whether they are from aristocratic families or wild foxes."
The fox fairy left in a hurry and started to make arrangements for the meeting.
The Fox Courtyard held a meeting, and a cloud carriage was used to welcome the guests. This was not just about lighting lamps to call back souls or meeting in dreams, but about using a cloud carriage to pick them up in real life. The preparations over the past three days had been very hasty.
Gong Mengbi has not received the news yet and is currently on his way to Mount Wutai.
When we arrived at Mount Wutai, the sky had just darkened and the sound of the temple bells echoed throughout the mountain, like the whispers of the giant Buddha.
The five ghosts transformed into strong servants, carrying bags on their backs, and protected the young man Gong Mengbi as they walked in the mountains.
"Sir, where shall we go first?"
"Let's find a temple to stay overnight."
