Chapter 820: Gongcao Sima Dapan
If the gods and Buddhas in heaven were compared to emperors and generals on earth, then these foxes were the common people whose lives were worthless. Even in the cycle of the six realms, foxes were even worse than the common people.
In order to cultivate immortality, foxes have to learn human language, understand human nature, and transform into human form. Humans can skip this step and win over other species at the starting line.
We are all common people. If we look down on ourselves, then there is really no hope.
Things in Fox Academy have basically stabilized. Unless something major happens and changes have to be made to the teaching, as long as we follow the rules, we will basically not make any mistakes.
The last time Gong Mengbi revised the Fox Book, he also rearranged the order of the Nine Methods, putting the self-defense method and the escape technique at the front, just to adapt to the approaching twilight. After the world is at peace, he will change the order of the Nine Methods back.
With Kang Wen in Wuning County and the Huangfu brothers and sisters in Jinhua City, Gong Mengbi doesn't need to devote too much energy to them, so Gong Mengbi's main focus is still on Caoye Fox Fairy.
Since the God of Wutong was granted the title of General of Five Directions, under the reign of King Wu, the plaques of most of the Wutong Temples were removed and replaced, turning them from Wutong Temples into Temples of the Generals of Five Directions.
The various rampant gods were leaderless. Some were killed by the local righteous gods, some defected to other forces, some became kings of the mountains, and a few still occupied the Five Generals Temple to collect incense.
These were just small fry, the stronger ones had long since perished in the numerous battles that Shangfang Mountain waged against the outside world. But even these small fry were not easy for Yehu to handle.
Some places were taken down by using the two methods of controlling ghosts, and the rampant evil spirits were sent to Yue Mansion. Some places could not be taken down, so we had to avoid them and seek other ways.
Gong Mengbi burned incense to summon ghosts, and the smoke filled the room. Wei Dapan's figure was condensed by the incense, and he was dressed in red, elegant and noble, with an imposing manner.
"Have you finished your inspection?" asked Wei Dapan.
"It's over now. Now I have time to talk to the judge."
"If you have time, you might as well come and help us. I will ask the Lord to give you a higher salary."
The reason why Gong Mengbi is unwilling to go to Yue Mansion in person is because of this matter. Although he knows it is a joke, the fox really can't stand this kind of flattery, especially now that Wei Dapan's tone is not joking.
Gong Mengbi, of course, managed to hold on to his dignity, and said calmly, "I'm here to help the Grand Judge with his worries and difficulties, and also to help the Lord save his salary."
Wei Dapan laughed and said, "What evil plan are you planning again?"
"How could the judge slander my innocence out of thin air? Didn't I just give the deed to the judge last time?"
Wei Dapan nodded and said, "So you're asking about this. I always say you never come to the temple for no reason. But you've only raised two yellow foxes, and they haven't even been trained yet. When will they be of any use?"
Gong Mengbi said, "This time I'm here to solve an urgent problem."
Gong Mengbi presented a list of the fox gods in the wild, which clearly stated which fox god built which temple in which place, so that it could be easily found out with a simple search.
Wei Dapan glanced at it, then pushed the list down and scolded with a smile: "You are pretending to help me, but you are really using your power for personal gain to help Yehu find a way out."
Gong Mengbi shook his head repeatedly and said, "How can you say that I'm using my power for personal gain? Although I didn't get into the Heavenly Fox Academy and haven't achieved the high-level immortal path, I'm still a cultivator. I understand the rules and have a good sense of reason. I can be of use."
"Although the Yue Mansion is short of people, the list of ghosts and gods is also limited. How can we let you go like this?"
"How dare I covet so many official positions? Officials don't dare to dream of it, but clerks can always do it, right? If it really doesn't work, just record the names and fill them when there are vacancies. It won't delay my work."
Wei Dapan was still hesitant and said, "You are promoting education. There will only be more and more foxes like this in the future. The Yue Mansion will naturally be able to use the manpower it needs now. Once this disaster is over and the world is at peace, where will these foxes go? And you are planning to educate the strange creatures. Where will those strange creatures go?"
"Where is the question of where to go? Those who pass the entrance exam to the Heavenly Fox Academy cultivate immortality, those who aspire to the human world wander the mortal world, and those who wish to establish themselves as gods in the wilderness, if they have a destiny, become ghost gods, if not, they will simply be recorded in the Yin Scrolls, either cultivating ghost immortality or accumulating good deeds for the next life. There's no need for any final destination."
Wei Dapan looked at him and said, "But if that's the case, what's the difference between you and ordinary practitioners?"
Gong Mengbi laughed and said, "Of course there is a difference. We must obey the Yin Law and follow the rules. If we start well, we will end well. Besides, who can predict what will happen in the future? If I can't serve in the Yue Mansion, I can go somewhere else."
"If that's the case, it would be much easier. In fact, you should go and ask the Lord of the Mansion for help. If he nods, everything will be easy."
"How can we trouble him with such matters? If the Lord of the Mansion were to speak, it would be hard to say whether his words would be good or bad. It might even take on a different meaning."
"I think you want to be lazy." Wei Dapan saw through his thoughts. If it was really the Lord who asked him to do it, he would definitely force Gong Mengbi to do the job himself.
Gong Mengbi flatly denied it: "I was wrongly killed."
Judge Wei smiled, thought for a moment, and said, "The contract you sent last time is still stuck in the Gongcao Division. I was going to find time to discuss it with you in detail, but I don't think you're free. Since you're free now, let's combine the two tasks into one. I'll have Judge Sima of the Gongcao Division discuss it with you in detail. Once the terms are finalized, I can report it to the Lord."
He pointed and said, "You can't hide away. Ultimately, the Lord of the Mansion will have to make the final decision. Maybe you'll have to go there in person."
Gong Mengbi said, "Let's wait until the Lord summons us."
Smoke slowly condensed behind Wei Dapan and gradually became clearer. It was an old man with white beard, who looked even older than Wei Dapan.
Judge Ma bowed to Judge Wei and said, "Judge, leave it to me."
Wei Dapan nodded, said goodbye to Gong Mengbi, and turned into smoke and disappeared.
Judge Ma looked at Gong Mengbi and asked, "Are you Gong Mingfu?"
