Chapter 835: Standing Peng Technique
In such a poor and remote place, there are many places where evil spirits and ghosts hide. In the stalagmite forest, a bonfire was burning, and the smoke spread in the moonlight, with a green lingering color.
Not far from the bonfire, men, women, young and old, dressed in green and hemp clothes sat in an open space, facing the moon, their eyes green with expressions of admiration and obsession.
Gong Mengbi stretched out his hand to grab the moon. In the eyes of those foxes, the moon seemed to be grabbed by him and pulled down into the mountain. It became bigger and bigger in their eyes until there was nothing else in their field of vision. It seemed as if they could jump up and fly into the Moon Palace.
Behind Gong Mengbi was the boundless moonlight, and in front of him stood the obsessed foxes. His voice woke them from their fascination: "If you don't concentrate your minds and practice, what are you waiting for?"
Fox Boy followed his guidance and practiced the method of worshiping the moon and submitting to the Qi. He felt as if he was really in the Moon Palace. He could easily feel many inspirations that he had not been able to feel before, and he could easily overcome many obstacles that he had been unable to cross before.
The foxes' minds gradually calmed down, entering a state of concentration. A green-robed fox fairy sitting at the front stood up and sighed, "Watching Mr. Mingfu perform the ritual just now, not only these foxes, but even I couldn't help but follow his guidance and benefited greatly."
He hesitated a bit, but still asked, "Could it be the Li Peng technique?"
Gong Mengbi was a little surprised, but also felt relieved, and said, "It is the Li Peng technique."
The green fox fairy was not mistaken, and a look of joy appeared on her face. She said, "As expected, last time Xun Jijiu taught me the art of standing on a twig, I studied it diligently afterwards and have gained some insights. It's just that Mr. Mingfu's magical powers are too high, so I dare not recognize him."
Gong Mengbi said, "The technique of standing up a weed is based on the principle that a weed grows upright without support, like a hemp plant. To stand up a weed, you must first plant the hemp. The more adept, confident, and determined you are, the easier it will be to perform successfully. I have some understanding of the moon-worshiping cultivation method, so my performance of the technique is convincing. If I weren't adept myself, it would be difficult for me to influence you."
"I see. I was wondering why my Standing Peng technique sometimes worked and sometimes didn't. It turns out it's because there are some things in the Fox Book that I can't guarantee I'll master."
Gong Mengbi asked him to find the Fox Book and asked, "What's unclear?"
The fox fairy was overjoyed and explained all the confusions in his mind and asked Gong Mengbi for guidance.
The Fox Book wasn't difficult to understand, but not every Fox Academy dean was proficient in the nine techniques described therein. This man, a wild fox, was particularly unfamiliar with the art of foresight. He had learned a few divination techniques, but they were often ineffective.
Gong Mengbi picked up a few stones from the ground and discussed the fox fairy's ability to tell fortunes. Foxes had advantages in fortune-telling, as they were able to communicate with the spirit world and possessed divine powers. They could act as messengers, so asking for fortunes was naturally not difficult for them.
Gong Mengbi guided him to touch his inner spirit and sense the "God", which gave him a flash of inspiration. In an instant, he shuddered, as if a door that had been closed for a long time was opened, and clear energy came in. He could also feel the "God" through this door.
Gong Mengbi practiced the Tongtian method and took him to gain insights, and he understood everything at once.
The fox fairy showed surprise on his face, and then looked at Gong Mengbi with eyes full of admiration: "Mr. Mingfu's ability has surpassed many assistant teachers and doctors in the Heavenly Fox Academy. However, it is really a waste of his talent to teach a fox kid."
Gong Mengbi laughed and said, "How many doctors and lecturers are there in Tianhu Academy? And how many famous teachers are there in Yehu Academy? I'm not wasting my talent at all. I should definitely realize my ambitions."
The fox fairy was filled with admiration, yet still felt sorry for Gong Mengbi. "With your abilities, you'll be promoted to heaven sooner or later at the Celestial Fox Court, serving in the Heavenly King Palace or at the Sun and Moon Palace. You'll soon become a Celestial Fox, wouldn't that be wonderful? Your devotion to a wild fox has delayed your cultivation, and I'm afraid it's truly ashamed of you."
Gong Mengbi smiled and said, "Whether it's heaven or the human world, there's no place where we can't cultivate. Entering the heavenly palace to become a god, while revered as a god, doesn't mean we have the freedom we have today. If one day all the spirits in the world have the opportunity to ascend to immortality and attain enlightenment, wouldn't it be wonderful for me, a fox who writes books? It wouldn't be any worse than being in heaven."
The fox fairy bowed deeply and said, "Sir, your virtue makes me ashamed."
Gong Mengbi lifted his arm and said, "You're guarding the Stone Mountain alone. It's not easy. Since you've invested so much effort, you must be resolute and calm. Although the fox immortals in the world can't be said to be as numerous as crucian carp, how many can catch the eye of the goddess? During this inspection, you should understand the importance the goddess attaches to the Fox Courtyard. If you do well, it will be your ladder to success."
The fox fairy looked at Gong Mengbi. Gong Mengbi looked into his eyes and said, "Even if you were born into a noble family, if you are not from the main lineage, no matter how outstanding you are, you will still have to work as a slave to seek a few opportunities. But now your opportunity is right in front of you, you must cherish it."
Thoughts surged within the fox fairy's mind, and when he met Gong Mengbi's gaze, his eyes quickly collapsed. His throat moved up and down as he spoke, "Sir, I am..."
Gong Mengbi shook his head slightly and stopped him from speaking with his eyes.
Gong Mengbi patted his shoulder and said, "You know where Wu Ning Fox Court is. If you have any questions about cultivation or teaching, feel free to send me a message and I will tell you everything I know.
Without waiting for his reaction, Gong Mengbi turned around and merged into the boundless moonlight, dissipating like smoke, leaving only the words "Let us encourage each other" lingering in the fox fairy's ears.
The fox fairy took two steps forward and called out, "Sir!"
But there was no response.
As the night deepened, two graceful figures appeared in the stone forest. They played a flute in the mountains, but no sound came out, only the sound of the wind wailing.
After a short while, the green fox fairy walked into the stone forest. Seeing the two figures, she bowed and said, "Greetings, young lady."
