Chapter 809: Collusion with the Pearl
The moon was bright in the sky, Gong Mengbi stood on Fox Hill, with two fox fairies standing in front of him.
One is a young girl in a red skirt and green shirt, and the other is an old man with white hair and beard. They look like a grandfather and grandson, but the girl is in front and the old man is behind, and their positions are reversed.
The old man bowed his head and apologized to Gong Mengbi, showing great respect.
The young girl apologized, "Brother Mingfu, you know what I'm thinking. Our friendship isn't just a passing moment. My uncle is in the Heavenly Palace, receiving divine blessings, and I wouldn't dare ignore a summons. Xu Ji summoned him with a divine spell, but he incarnated into the lower world and didn't investigate carefully, thus delaying your important work. I'm truly sorry. Please forgive me."
Gong Mengbi helped Huangfu Cong up and said, "My dear, you are too kind."
"My dear, you are in heaven and you are here at the call of the emperor. How can I say that you have committed any crime? On the contrary, I was rude to you that day, and I beg your forgiveness."
Huangfu Cong sighed, "I'm ashamed. I may be employed by the Heavenly Palace, but I'm just a minor deity spreading dew in the Moon Palace. Firstly, I have responsibilities and can't leave without permission. Secondly, I also want to avoid suspicion. I haven't been back to the Heavenly Fox Courtyard in many years, and I rarely go home either. I had no idea that the Heavenly Fox Courtyard had changed so much, and that such a joke had happened."
"What are you talking about? This matter was caused by someone behind the scenes. It's not your fault. I have never doubted Young Master Chanyuan's sincerity. How can you ruin our friendship with such means?"
Huangfu Chanyuan smiled and spoke frankly, "If it were someone else, I wouldn't dare to guarantee it, but I know my uncle well. I believe he wouldn't get involved in such a thing."
Huangfu Cong looked at Huangfu Chanyuan with a look of relief on his face.
Huangfu Chanyuan said sternly, "That being said, we have delayed your important work after all. We cannot remain silent about this misunderstanding."
She looked at Huangfu Cong, and Huangfu Cong took out a jade box from his sleeve.
Huangfu Chanyuan took the jade box from him, walked to Gong Mengbi, opened the jade box, and revealed a pearl inside that looked like a dewdrop.
Just by opening the jade box, Gong Mengbi could feel the air becoming moist and clear. The inspiration in the moon and the inspiration in the water combined to produce this clear dew, and the clouds were mixed together.
Eat the six kinds of Qi and drink the mist, rinse your mouth with the positive sun and hold the morning glow in your mouth.
Gong Mengbi was also moved by this and said, "This item is truly precious. It cannot be treated like this."
Huangfu Cong said, "My priesthood isn't particularly special. This dew is the only thing that's useful, but it's not a rare thing. I can't even get anything truly rare."
"Brother, please accept this. This is a treasure that my uncle refined himself. It does not interfere with the rules of heaven. This is to show our sincerity."
Gong Mengbi had no choice but to accept it, saying, "It would be disrespectful for me to refuse it, and I feel ashamed to accept it."
Huangfu Chanyuan shook her head and said, "A bead is nothing, and compared to my friendship, it's even less worth mentioning. My brother is now on patrol with the Sky Fox Court. I wonder what the situation is like?"
"I've prepared some light wine, let's drink and chat."
Huangfu Cong waved his hand and said, "Midnight is approaching. I have to stay on duty and not get involved with you young people."
Huangfu Chanyuan said, "Brother, please stay. I'll see my uncle off and then I'll be back."
Gong Mengbi waited for a while and watched Huangfu Chanyuan and Huangfu Cong leave the mountain gate.
Before leaving, Huangfu Cong looked at Huangfu Chanyuan and advised, "Young Master, you have a very good eye. I work in the Moon Palace, where I can use the moonlight to illuminate people, so I can roughly see some of the weather. This person is extremely lucky. Although he has many calamities, as long as he overcomes them, he will be able to rise to prominence. Such people should only be befriended, not antagonized."
Huangfu Chanyuan saw Huangfu Cong off and drank with Gong Mengbi facing the moon at Fox Hill.
"Brother, you dragged Su Siye off the stage, which is really satisfying."
"I thought he would hold back a little longer and start his trouble at the annual banquet, but who knew he would lose his temper and take action now."
"You really left that tail on purpose."
"It's just a casual move. Whether it's useful or not is another matter."
The two of them told some jokes about Su Siye behind his back and talked about the problems in Fox Court. Huangfu Chanyuan was willing to ask for advice, and Gong Mengbi was not stingy with his suggestions. It was not until dawn that the two said goodbye to each other.
Huangfu Chanyuan has a huge family business to learn and manage, and she also has to deal with the elders and juniors in the clan, so she doesn't have much free time.
Gong Mengbi had to follow the Tianhu Courtyard to inspect the Fox Courtyard, so he had no free time.
The place to be inspected today is the Fox Courtyard of Moyun Castle.
There is a Fox Temple in Moyun Fort, Yuntai Mountain, Xiuwu County. The dean of the Fox Temple is surnamed Su.
When the inspector of Fox Court came, the chief academic officer, the secretary and the secretary were no longer with him. They only showed up for the first inspection, which was the inspection of Fox Court in Wuning County. After that, the inspection was presided over by the doctors. The final results were submitted to their desks and the inspection was considered complete after they confirmed that they were correct.
Perhaps the next time they appear, it will be the last inspection of Fox Courtyard.
As soon as he arrived at the Fox Courtyard in Moyun Castle, Gong Mengbi frowned. It was simply because this place was too far away from the human world.
Mount Yuntai is so high that it reaches into the clouds, hence the name Yuntai. Moyun Fort is located on the top of Yuntai, comparable to the Ruyun Peak and Chuyun Cave in Longpan Mountain, but farther away from human habitation than Ruyun Peak.
"Welcome the patrol envoy!"
Dean Su of the Fox Court of Moyun Castle came in with a gorgeous dress and a feather fan, and brought more than ten gentlemen with him. He smiled and welcomed everyone into the castle.
The foxes in the fort were dressed in yellow and white and gathered together. When they saw Dean Su and the inspector, they kowtowed and knelt, calling them "Gods".
"Everyone, stand up." Dean Su said with a smile, "Today, the inspector is here, and it's time to test what you have learned. Show your abilities."
"Yes, Dean." All the foxes answered in unison.
"Let's get started." The leader was Dr. Hu, the teacher who taught the fundamental Taoist method of Qigong practice at Tianhu Academy.
Each inspector performed his duties, with the doctor in charge, and the assistant teachers and lecturers assisting. The finance officer asked for the accounts and began to take inventory of the treasury.
Gong Mengbi was also an assistant teacher, though he rarely taught at Tianhu Academy. He was also the author of the Fox Book, so Dr. Hu assigned him to examine what the Fox Boy had learned.
It wasn't just him, several teaching assistants acted separately, either testing the texts or testing the practice.
Gong Mengbi was preparing to test the foxes in the Fox Courtyard of Moyun Castle based on the "Nine Methods" of Fox Books. There were two other people with him, one was the Fox Fairy Cao, and the other was Chun Wanyi, who was learning to do odd jobs.
"What's your name, sir?" Gong Mengbi asked the fox fairy from Moyun Castle who was receiving them.
The fox fairy said calmly, "No need to mention your surname, Cheng."
"What subjects does Mr. Cheng teach at Moyun Castle?"
"I teach them the discipline of self-cultivation and the practice of self-protection."
"Then please wait here for a moment, Mr. Cheng. Let's start with the self-defense test?" Gong Mengbi looked at Cao Zhi and said.
Cao Zhi talked about the origin of the wild fox, and he only had a smiling face, and never disagreed. He commanded: "Let's start with the self-defense test. Miss Chun, go and invite the fox boy."
Chun Wanyi bowed slightly and walked out.
